Market Open Impulse [LuciTech]Market Open Impulse Strategy
The Market Open Impulse Strategy is designed to capture significant price movements that occur at market open (2:30 PM UK time). This strategy identifies impulsive candles with high volatility and enters trades based on the direction and strength of the initial market reaction.
How It Works:
The strategy activates exclusively at 2:30 PM UK time during market open sessions. It uses ATR-based volatility filtering to identify impulsive candles that exceed a configurable multiplier (default 1.5x ATR). Long entries are triggered when an impulsive candle closes above its midpoint and above the opening price, while short entries occur when an impulsive candle closes below its midpoint and below the opening price.
Risk management is handled through precise stop loss placement at the opposite extreme of the impulse candle (high for short positions, low for long positions). Take profit levels are calculated using a configurable risk-reward ratio with a default setting of 3:1. Position sizing is automatically calculated based on the percentage risk per trade, and an optional breakeven feature can move the stop loss to the entry price at specified profit levels.
The strategy incorporates time-based filtering to ensure trades only occur during the specified market open window. Visual indicators highlight qualifying impulsive candles and plot all entry and exit levels for clear trade management. The system offers flexible risk management with customizable risk percentage, risk-reward ratios, and breakeven settings, along with multiple stop loss calculation methods including both ATR-based and candle-based options.
Key Parameters:
Market open timing is fully configurable through hour and minute settings for strategy activation. The impulse ATR multiple sets the minimum volatility threshold required for trade qualification, with visual highlighting available for qualifying setups. Risk management parameters include the percentage of account equity to risk per trade, target profit multiples relative to initial risk, and the profit level threshold for breakeven stop loss adjustment. Users can choose between ATR-based or candle-based stop loss calculation methods and adjust technical parameters for volatility calculation including ATR length and smoothing methods.
Applications:
This strategy is particularly effective for trading market open volatility and momentum, capturing institutional order flow during key timing windows, executing short-term swing trades on significant price impulses, and trading markets with predictable opening patterns and consistent volatility characteristics.

Pro Reversal Strategie - FinalCore Functionality Description
The "Pro Reversal Strategy" script is a comprehensive and highly customizable trading system for TradingView. Its core idea is based on a mean-reversion strategy, which aims to capitalize on price extremes where the price is likely to revert to its statistical mean. This script ist full AI generated. There ist no support and no financial advice.
To identify entry points, the script combines classic indicators like the RSI (to detect overbought and oversold conditions) and Bollinger Bands (to measure volatility extremes).
However, the script's strength lies in its confluence logic: a simple RSI or Bollinger Band signal is not enough to trigger a trade. Instead, a series of filters are applied to enhance the quality of the trade signals. These include:
Trend Filter: Trades are only taken in the direction of the higher-level trend (defined by a 200-period Moving Average).
Volatility and Volume Filter: ADX and volume analysis ensure that the market has sufficient momentum for a move.
Market Structure Analysis: Concepts like Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity zones, and the Volume Profile (VRVP/POC) are used to place trades in high-probability zones.
Momentum Filter: Special "Vector Candles" confirm the strength of buyers or sellers at the moment of the signal.
Furthermore, the script offers advanced features for risk and trade management, including automatic position sizing based on a percentage risk and dynamic exit strategies like a breakeven stop and a trailing stop-loss (Chandelier ATR).
A detailed info panel visualizes all key metrics in real-time directly on the chart. Thanks to its versatile configuration options, the script can be adapted for various trading styles, including swing trading, day trading, and scalping.
Core Strategies & Filters (English)
Here is a breakdown of the specific strategies and confirmation filters used within the script:
RSI Mean Reversion: Uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought (> rsiSellShort) and oversold (< rsiBuyLong) conditions, which serve as the primary trigger for a potential price reversal.
Bollinger Bands (BB) Volatility Filter: Trades are confirmed when the price touches or exceeds the outer Bollinger Bands. This indicates a move to a statistical extreme in terms of volatility, reinforcing the reversal thesis.
Trend Filter (200 SMA): Ensures that long trades are only considered in a general uptrend (price > SMA 200) and short trades in a downtrend (price < SMA 200), preventing trades against the dominant market direction.
ADX Trend Strength Filter: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) to confirm that a market is trending with sufficient strength. Trades are filtered out during weak or non-trending phases (adx < adxThreshold).
Volume Profile (VRVP / POC): Analyzes volume at specific price levels to identify high-volume nodes (Point of Control - POC). This acts as a filter to avoid entering trades directly into a zone of strong support or resistance.
Vector Candle Filter: Identifies "Vector Candles" – large, high-volume candles that close strongly near their high (bullish) or low (bearish). This custom filter confirms strong conviction behind the initial reversal signal.
Market Structure (FVG & Liquidity): Incorporates advanced price action concepts. It looks for entries after a liquidity zone above a previous high/low has been tapped (Liquidity Grab) or when price enters a Fair Value Gap (FVG), adding a layer of institutional trading logic.
Chart Pattern Recognition: Optionally identifies classic chart patterns like "W-Patterns" (Double Bottom), "M-Patterns" (Double Top), and Ascending Triangles to provide additional visual confirmation for traders.
Position Sizing (Risk %): Automatically calculates the trade size based on a user-defined percentage of the total equity (riskPct) and the distance to the stop-loss, ensuring consistent risk management for every trade.
Dynamic Exit Management: Implements advanced exit strategies beyond a fixed take-profit. This includes moving the stop-loss to Breakeven after a certain risk-to-reward ratio is met and using a Trailing Stop-Loss (e.g., Chandelier ATR) to lock in profits as a trade develops.

PF.MSThe Pressure & Flow Momentum Strategy (PF.MS) detects market pressure buildup through advanced candlestick analysis and captures momentum flow when conditions align, providing accurate buy and sell signals across cryptocurrencies and stocks—but even sophisticated strategies can be wrong when markets turn brutal without warning. The system reads real-time pressure dynamics (buying vs selling forces, wick patterns, volatility conditions) to identify when smart money is positioning, then captures the resulting momentum flow with precise entry and exit timing. While highly accurate at detecting pressure shifts and momentum changes, the strategy can still face losses during sudden news events or when market sentiment overrides technical patterns. The PF.MS combines intelligent pressure detection with momentum capture, trailing profit protection and strict stop losses

QQQ Strategy v2 ESL | easy-peasy-x This is a strategy optimized for QQQ (and SPY) for the 1H timeframe. It significantly outperforms passive buy-and-hold approach. With settings adjustments, it can be used on various assets like stocks and cryptos and various timeframes, although the default out of the box settings favor QQQ 1H.
The strategy uses various triggers to take both long and short trades. These can be adjusted in settings. If you try a different asset, see what combination of triggers works best for you.
Some of the triggers employ LuxAlgo's Ultimate RSI - shoutout to him for great script, check it out here .
Other triggers are based on custom signed standard deviation - basically the idea is to trade Bollinger Bands expansions (long to the upside, short to the downside) and fade or stay out of contractions.
There are three key moving averages in the strategy - LONG MA, SHORT MA, BASIC MA. Long and Short MAs are guides to eyes on the chart and also act as possible trend filters (adjustable in settings). Basic MA acts as guide to eye and a possible trade trigger (adjustable in settings).
There are a few trend filters the strategy can use - moving average, signed standard deviation, ultimate RSI or none. The filters act as an additional condition on triggers, making the strategy take trades only if both triggers and trend filter allows. That way one can filter out trades with unfavorable risk/reward (for instance, don't long if price is under the MA200). Different trade filters can be used for long and short trades.
The strategy employs various stop loss types, the default of which is a trailing %-based stop loss type. ATR-based stop loss is also available. The default 1.5% trailing stop loss is suitable for leveraged trading.
Lastly, the strategy can trigger take profit orders if certain conditions are met, adjustable in settings. Also, it can hold onto winning trades and exit only after stop out (in which case, consecutive triggers to take other positions will be ignored until stop out).
Let me know if you like it and if you use it, what kind of tweaks would you like to see.
With kind regards,

Reversal Trap Sniper – Verified VersionReversal Trap Sniper
Overview
Reversal Trap Sniper is a counterintuitive momentum-following strategy that identifies "reversal traps"—situations where traders expect a market reversal based on RSI, but the price continues trending. By detecting these failed reversal signals, the strategy enters trades in the trend direction, often catching strong follow-through moves.
How It Works
The system monitors the Relative Strength Index (RSI). When RSI moves above the overbought level (e.g., 70) and then drops back below it, many traders interpret this as a sell signal.
However, this strategy treats such moves with caution. If the RSI pulls back below the overbought threshold but the price continues to rise, the system considers it a "reversal trap"—a fakeout.
In such cases, instead of going short, the strategy enters a long position, assuming that the trend is still valid and those betting on a reversal may fuel a breakout.
Similarly, if RSI rises above the oversold level from below, but price continues falling, a short trade is triggered.
Entries are followed by ATR-based stop-loss and dynamic take-profit (2× risk), with a fallback time-based exit after 30 bars.
Key Features
- Detects failed RSI-based reversals ("traps")
- Follows momentum after the trap is triggered
- Uses ATR for dynamic stop-loss and take-profit
- Auto-exit after a fixed bar count (30 bars)
- Visual markers on chart for transparency
- Realistic trading assumptions: 0.05% commission, slippage, and capped pyramiding
Parameter Explanation
RSI Length (14): Standard RSI calculation period
Overbought/Oversold Levels (70/30): Common thresholds used by many traders
ATR Length (14): Used to define stop-loss and target dynamically
Risk-Reward Ratio (2.0): Take-profit is set at 2× the stop-loss distance
Max Holding Bars (30): Ensures trades don’t remain open indefinitely
Pyramiding (10): Allows scaling into trades, simulating real-world strategy stacking
Originality Note
This strategy inverts traditional RSI logic. Instead of treating overbought/oversold conditions as signals for reversal, it waits for those signals to fail. Only after such failures, confirmed by continued price action in the same direction, does the system enter trades. This logic is based on the behavioral observation that failed reversal signals often trigger stronger trend continuation—making this strategy uniquely positioned to exploit trap scenarios.

RSI Divergence Strategy - AliferCryptoStrategy Overview
The RSI Divergence Strategy is designed to identify potential reversals by detecting regular bullish and bearish divergences between price action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It automatically enters positions when a divergence is confirmed and manages risk with configurable stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Key Features
Automatic Divergence Detection: Scans for RSI pivot lows/highs vs. price pivots using user-defined lookback windows and bar ranges.
Dual SL/TP Methods:
- Swing-based: Stops placed a configurable percentage beyond the most recent swing high/low.
- ATR-based: Stops placed at a multiple of Average True Range, with a separate risk/reward multiplier.
Long and Short Entries: Buys on bullish divergences; sells short on bearish divergences.
Fully Customizable: Input groups for RSI, divergence, swing, ATR, and general SL/TP settings.
Visual Plotting: Marks divergences on chart and plots stop-loss (red) and take-profit (green) lines for active trades.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for both bullish and bearish RSI divergences.
Detailed Logic
RSI Calculation: Computes RSI of chosen source over a specified period.
Pivot Detection:
- Identifies RSI pivot lows/highs by scanning a lookback window to the left and right.
- Uses ta.barssince to ensure pivots are separated by a minimum/maximum number of bars.
Divergence Confirmation:
- Bullish: Price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low.
- Bearish: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high.
Entry:
- Opens a Long position when bullish divergence is true.
- Opens a Short position when bearish divergence is true.
Stop-Loss & Take-Profit:
- Swing Method: Computes the recent swing high/low then adjusts by a percentage margin.
- ATR Method: Uses the current ATR × multiplier applied to the entry price.
- Take-Profit: Calculated as entry price ± (risk × R/R ratio).
Exit Orders: Uses strategy.exit to place bracket orders (stop + limit) for both long and short positions.
Inputs and Configuration
RSI Settings: Length & price source for the RSI.
Divergence Settings: Pivot lookback parameters and valid bar ranges.
SL/TP Settings: Choice between Swing or ATR method.
Swing Settings: Swing lookback length, margin (%), and risk/reward ratio.
ATR Settings: ATR length, stop multiplier, and risk/reward ratio.
Usage Notes
Adjust the Pivot Lookback and Range values to suit the volatility and timeframe of your market.
Use higher ATR multipliers for wider stops in choppy conditions, or tighten swing margins in trending markets.
Backtest different R/R ratios to find the balance between win rate and reward.

Momentum + Keltner Stochastic Combo)The Momentum-Keltner-Stochastic Combination Strategy: A Technical Analysis and Empirical Validation
This study presents an advanced algorithmic trading strategy that implements a hybrid approach between momentum-based price dynamics and relative positioning within a volatility-adjusted Keltner Channel framework. The strategy utilizes an innovative "Keltner Stochastic" concept as its primary decision-making factor for market entries and exits, while implementing a dynamic capital allocation model with risk-based stop-loss mechanisms. Empirical testing demonstrates the strategy's potential for generating alpha in various market conditions through the combination of trend-following momentum principles and mean-reversion elements within defined volatility thresholds.
1. Introduction
Financial market trading increasingly relies on the integration of various technical indicators for identifying optimal trading opportunities (Lo et al., 2000). While individual indicators are often compromised by market noise, combinations of complementary approaches have shown superior performance in detecting significant market movements (Murphy, 1999; Kaufman, 2013). This research introduces a novel algorithmic strategy that synthesizes momentum principles with volatility-adjusted envelope analysis through Keltner Channels.
2. Theoretical Foundation
2.1 Momentum Component
The momentum component of the strategy builds upon the seminal work of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), who demonstrated that stocks which performed well (poorly) over a 3 to 12-month period continue to perform well (poorly) over subsequent months. As Moskowitz et al. (2012) further established, this time-series momentum effect persists across various asset classes and time frames. The present strategy implements a short-term momentum lookback period (7 bars) to identify the prevailing price direction, consistent with findings by Chan et al. (2000) that shorter-term momentum signals can be effective in algorithmic trading systems.
2.2 Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels, as formalized by Chester Keltner (1960) and later modified by Linda Bradford Raschke, represent a volatility-based envelope system that plots bands at a specified distance from a central exponential moving average (Keltner, 1960; Raschke & Connors, 1996). Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use standard deviation, Keltner Channels typically employ Average True Range (ATR) to establish the bands' distance from the central line, providing a smoother volatility measure as established by Wilder (1978).
2.3 Stochastic Oscillator Principles
The strategy incorporates a modified stochastic oscillator approach, conceptually similar to Lane's Stochastic (Lane, 1984), but applied to a price's position within Keltner Channels rather than standard price ranges. This creates what we term "Keltner Stochastic," measuring the relative position of price within the volatility-adjusted channel as a percentage value.
3. Strategy Methodology
3.1 Entry and Exit Conditions
The strategy employs a contrarian approach within the channel framework:
Long Entry Condition:
Close price > Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic < threshold (oversold within channel)
Short Entry Condition:
Close price < Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic > threshold (overbought within channel)
Exit Conditions:
Exit long positions when KeltnerStochastic > threshold
Exit short positions when KeltnerStochastic < threshold
This methodology aligns with research by Brock et al. (1992) on the effectiveness of trading range breakouts with confirmation filters.
3.2 Risk Management
Stop-loss mechanisms are implemented using fixed price movements (1185 index points), providing definitive risk boundaries per trade. This approach is consistent with findings by Sweeney (1988) that fixed stop-loss systems can enhance risk-adjusted returns when properly calibrated.
3.3 Dynamic Position Sizing
The strategy implements an equity-based position sizing algorithm that increases or decreases contract size based on cumulative performance:
$ContractSize = \min(baseContracts + \lfloor\frac{\max(profitLoss, 0)}{equityStep}\rfloor - \lfloor\frac{|\min(profitLoss, 0)|}{equityStep}\rfloor, maxContracts)$
This adaptive approach follows modern portfolio theory principles (Markowitz, 1952) and Kelly criterion concepts (Kelly, 1956), scaling exposure proportionally to account equity.
4. Empirical Performance Analysis
Using historical data across multiple market regimes, the strategy demonstrates several key performance characteristics:
Enhanced performance during trending markets with moderate volatility
Reduced drawdowns during choppy market conditions through the dual-filter approach
Optimal performance when the threshold parameter is calibrated to market-specific characteristics (Pardo, 2008)
5. Strategy Limitations and Future Research
While effective in many market conditions, this strategy faces challenges during:
Rapid volatility expansion events where stop-loss mechanisms may be inadequate
Prolonged sideways markets with insufficient momentum
Markets with structural changes in volatility profiles
Future research should explore:
Adaptive threshold parameters based on regime detection
Integration with additional confirmatory indicators
Machine learning approaches to optimize parameter selection across different market environments (Cavalcante et al., 2016)

TASC 2025.05 Trading The Channel█ OVERVIEW
This script implements channel-based trading strategies based on the concepts explained by Perry J. Kaufman in the article "A Test Of Three Approaches: Trading The Channel" from the May 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The script explores three distinct trading methods for equities and futures using information from a linear regression channel. Each rule set corresponds to different market behaviors, offering flexibility for trend-following, breakout, and mean-reversion trading styles.
█ CONCEPTS
Linear regression
Linear regression is a model that estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables by fitting a straight line to the observed data. In the context of financial time series, traders often use linear regression to estimate trends in price movements over time.
The slope of the linear regression line indicates the strength and direction of the price trend. For example, a larger positive slope indicates a stronger upward trend, and a larger negative slope indicates the opposite. Traders can look for shifts in the direction of a linear regression slope to identify potential trend trading signals, and they can analyze the magnitude of the slope to support trading decisions.
One caveat to linear regression is that most financial time series data does not follow a straight line, meaning a regression line cannot perfectly describe the relationships between values. Prices typically fluctuate around a regression line to some degree. As such, analysts often project ranges above and below regression lines, creating channels to model the expected extent of the data's variability. This strategy constructs a channel based on the method used in Kaufman's article. It measures the maximum distances from points on the linear regression line to historical price values, then adds those distances and the current slope to the regression points.
Depending on the trading style, traders might look for prices to move outside an established channel for breakout signals, or they might look for price action to reach extremes within the channel for potential mean reversion opportunities.
█ STRATEGY CALCULATIONS
Primary trade rules
This strategy implements three distinct sets of rules for trend, breakout, and mean-reversion trades based on the methods Kaufman describes in his article:
Trade the trend (Rule 1) : Open new positions when the sign of the slope changes, indicating a potential trend reversal. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the slope changes from negative to positive, and do the opposite when the slope changes from positive to negative.
Trade channel breakouts (Rule 2) : Open new positions when prices cross outside the linear regression channel for the current sample. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the price moves above the channel, and do the opposite when the price moves below the channel.
Trade within the channel (Rule 3) : Open new positions based on price values within the channel's range. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the price is near the channel's low, within a specified percentage of the channel's range, and do the opposite when the price is near the channel's high. With this rule, users can also filter the trades based on the channel's slope. When the filter is active, long positions are allowed only when the slope is positive, and short positions are allowed only when it is negative.
Position sizing
Kaufman's strategy uses specific trade sizes for equities and futures markets:
For an equities symbol, the number of shares traded is $10,000 divided by the current price.
For a futures symbol, the number of contracts traded is based on a volatility-adjusted formula that divides $25,000 by the product of the 20-bar average true range and the instrument's point value.
By default, this script automatically uses these sizes for its trade simulation on equities and futures symbols and does not simulate trading on other symbols. However, users can control position sizes from the "Settings/Properties" tab and enable trade simulation on other symbol types by selecting the "Manual" option in the script's "Position sizing" input.
Stop-loss
This strategy includes the option to place an accompanying stop-loss order for each trade, which users can enable from the "SL %" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. When enabled, the strategy places a stop-loss order at a specified percentage distance from the closing price where the entry order occurs, allowing users to compare how the strategy performs with added loss protection.
█ USAGE
This strategy adapts its display logic for the three trading approaches based on the rule selected in the "Trade rule" input:
For all rules, the script plots the linear regression slope in a separate pane. The plot is color-coded to indicate whether the current slope is positive or negative.
When the selected rule is "Trade the trend", the script plots triangles in the separate pane to indicate when the slope's direction changes from positive to negative or vice versa. Additionally, it plots a color-coded SMA on the main chart pane, allowing visual comparison of the slope to directional changes in a moving average.
When the rule is "Trade channel breakouts" or "Trade within the channel", the script draws the current period's linear regression channel on the main chart pane, and it plots bands representing the history of the channel values from the specified start time onward.
When the rule is "Trade within the channel", the script plots overbought and oversold zones between the bands based on a user-specified percentage of the channel range to indicate the value ranges where new trades are allowed.
Users can customize the strategy's calculations with the following additional inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab:
Start date : Sets the date and time when the strategy begins simulating trades. The script marks the specified point on the chart with a gray vertical line. The plots for rules 2 and 3 display the bands and trading zones from this point onward.
Period : Specifies the number of bars in the linear regression channel calculation. The default is 40.
Linreg source : Specifies the source series from which to calculate the linear regression values. The default is "close".
Range source : Specifies whether the script uses the distances from the linear regression line to closing prices or high and low prices to determine the channel's upper and lower ranges for rules 2 and 3. The default is "close".
Zone % : The percentage of the channel's overall range to use for trading zones with rule 3. The default is 20, meaning the width of the upper and lower zones is 20% of the range.
SL% : If the checkbox is selected, the strategy adds a stop-loss to each trade at the specified percentage distance away from the closing price where the entry order occurs. The checkbox is deselected by default, and the default percentage value is 5.
Position sizing : Determines whether the strategy uses Kaufman's predefined trade sizes ("Auto") or allows user-defined sizes from the "Settings/Properties" tab ("Manual"). The default is "Auto".
Long trades only : If selected, the strategy does not allow short positions. It is deselected by default.
Trend filter : If selected, the strategy filters positions for rule 3 based on the linear regression slope, allowing long positions only when the slope is positive and short positions only when the slope is negative. It is deselected by default.
NOTE: Because of this strategy's trading rules, the simulated results for a specific symbol or channel configuration might have significantly fewer than 100 trades. For meaningful results, we recommend adjusting the start date and other parameters to achieve a reasonable number of closed trades for analysis.
Additionally, this strategy does not specify commission and slippage amounts by default, because these values can vary across market types. Therefore, we recommend setting realistic values for these properties in the "Cost simulation" section of the "Settings/Properties" tab.
Fibonacci Counter-Trend TradingOverview:
The Fibonacci Counter-Trend Trading strategy is designed to capitalize on price reversals by utilizing Fibonacci levels calculated from the standard deviation of price movements. This strategy opens a sell order when the closing price crosses above a specified upper Fibonacci level and a buy order when the closing price crosses below a specified lower Fibonacci level. By leveraging the principles of Fibonacci retracement and volatility, this strategy aims to identify potential reversal points in the market.
How It Works:
Fibonacci Levels Calculation:
The strategy calculates upper and lower Fibonacci levels based on the standard deviation of the price over a specified moving average length. These levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence, which is widely used in technical analysis to identify potential support and resistance levels.
The upper levels are calculated by adding specific Fibonacci ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, and 1.0) multiplied by the standard deviation to the basis (the volume-weighted moving average).
The lower levels are calculated by subtracting the same Fibonacci ratios multiplied by the standard deviation from the basis.
Trade Entry Rules:
Sell Order: A sell order is triggered when the closing price crosses above the selected upper Fibonacci level. This indicates a potential reversal point where the price may start to decline.
Buy Order: A buy order is initiated when the closing price crosses below the selected lower Fibonacci level. This suggests a potential reversal point where the price may begin to rise.
Trade Management:
The strategy includes stop-losses based on the Fibonacci levels to protect against adverse price movements.
How to Use:
Users can customize the moving average length and the multiplier for the standard deviation to suit their trading preferences and market conditions.
The strategy can be applied to various financial instruments, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies, making it versatile for different trading environments.
Pros:
The Fibonacci Counter-Trend Trading strategy combines the mathematical principles of the Fibonacci sequence with the statistical measure of standard deviation, providing a unique approach to identifying potential market reversals.
This strategy is particularly useful in volatile markets where price swings can lead to significant trading opportunities.
The use of Fibonacci levels can help traders identify key support and resistance areas, enhancing decision-making.
Cons:
The strategy may generate false signals in choppy or sideways markets, leading to potential losses if the price does not reverse as anticipated.
Relying solely on Fibonacci levels without considering other technical indicators or market conditions may result in missed opportunities or increased risk.
The effectiveness of the strategy can vary depending on the chosen parameters (e.g., moving average length and standard deviation multiplier), requiring users to spend time optimizing these settings for different market conditions.
As with any counter-trend strategy, there is a risk of significant drawdowns during strong trending markets, where the price continues to move in one direction without reversing.
By understanding the mechanics of the Fibonacci Counter-Trend Trading strategy, along with its pros and cons, traders can effectively implement it in their trading routines and potentially enhance their trading performance.

PowerZone Trading StrategyExplanation of the PowerZone Trading Strategy for Your Users
The PowerZone Trading Strategy is an automated trading strategy that detects strong price movements (called "PowerZones") and generates signals to enter a long (buy) or short (sell) position, complete with predefined take profit and stop loss levels. Here’s how it works, step by step:
1. What is a PowerZone?
A "PowerZone" (PZ) is a zone on the chart where the price has shown a significant and consistent movement over a specific number of candles (bars). There are two types:
Bullish PowerZone (Bullish PZ): Occurs when the price rises consistently over several candles after an initial bearish candle.
Bearish PowerZone (Bearish PZ): Occurs when the price falls consistently over several candles after an initial bullish candle.
The code analyzes:
A set number of candles (e.g., 5, adjustable via "Periods").
A minimum percentage move (adjustable via "Min % Move for PowerZone") to qualify as a strong zone.
Whether to use the full candle range (highs and lows) or just open/close prices (toggle with "Use Full Range ").
2. How Does It Detect PowerZones?
Bullish PowerZone:
Looks for an initial bearish candle (close below open).
Checks that the next candles (e.g., 5) are all bullish (close above open).
Ensures the total price movement exceeds the minimum percentage set.
Defines a range: from the high (or open) to the low of the initial candle.
Bearish PowerZone:
Looks for an initial bullish candle (close above open).
Checks that the next candles are all bearish (close below open).
Ensures the total price movement exceeds the minimum percentage.
Defines a range: from the high to the low (or close) of the initial candle.
These zones are drawn on the chart with lines: green or white for bullish, red or blue for bearish, depending on the color scheme ("DARK" or "BRIGHT").
3. When Does It Enter a Trade?
The strategy waits for a breakout from the PowerZone range to enter a trade:
Buy (Long): When the price breaks above the high of a Bullish PowerZone.
Sell (Short): When the price breaks below the low of a Bearish PowerZone.
The position size is set to 100% of available equity (adjustable in the code).
4. Take Profit and Stop Loss
Take Profit (TP): Calculated as a multiple (adjustable via "Take Profit Factor," default 1.5) of the PowerZone height. For example:
For a buy, TP = Entry price + (PZ height × 1.5).
For a sell, TP = Entry price - (PZ height × 1.5).
Stop Loss (SL): Calculated as a multiple (adjustable via "Stop Loss Factor," default 1.0) of the PZ height, placed below the range for buys or above for sells.
5. Visualization on the Chart
PowerZones are displayed with lines on the chart (you can hide them with "Show Bullish Channel" or "Show Bearish Channel").
An optional info panel ("Show Info Panel") displays key levels: PZ high and low, TP, and SL.
You can also enable brief documentation on the chart ("Show Documentation") explaining the basic rules.
6. Alerts
The code generates automatic alerts in TradingView:
For a bullish breakout: "Bullish PowerZone Breakout - LONG!"
For a bearish breakdown: "Bearish PowerZone Breakdown - SHORT!"
7. Customization
You can tweak:
The number of candles to detect a PZ ("Periods").
The minimum percentage move ("Min % Move").
Whether to use highs/lows or just open/close ("Use Full Range").
The TP and SL factors.
The color scheme and what elements to display on the chart.
Practical Example
Imagine you set "Periods = 5" and "Min % Move = 2%":
An initial bearish candle appears, followed by 5 consecutive bullish candles.
The total move exceeds 2%.
A Bullish PowerZone is drawn with a high and low.
If the price breaks above the high, you enter a long position with a TP 1.5 times the PZ height and an SL equal to the height below.
The system executes the trade and exits automatically at TP or SL.
Conclusion
This strategy is great for capturing strong price movements after consolidation or momentum zones. It’s automated, visual, and customizable, making it useful for both beginner and advanced traders. Try it out and adjust it to fit your trading style!
IU BBB(Big Body Bar) StrategyDESCRIPTION

USER INPUTS:
- Big Body Threshold – Defines how many times larger the candle body should be compared to the average body ( default is 4 ).
- ATR Length – The period for the Average True Range (ATR) used in the trailing stop-loss calculation ( default is 14 ).
- ATR Factor – Multiplier for ATR to determine the trailing stop distance ( default is 2 ).
LONG CONDITION:
- The current candle’s body is greater than the average body size multiplied by the Big Body Threshold.
- The closing price is higher than the opening price (bullish candle).
SHORT CONDITION:
- The current candle’s body is greater than the average body size multiplied by the Big Body Threshold.
- The closing price is lower than the opening price (bearish candle).
LONG EXIT:
- ATR-based trailing stop-loss dynamically adjusts, locking in profits as the price moves higher.
SHORT EXIT:
- ATR-based trailing stop-loss dynamically adjusts, securing profits as the price moves lower.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:

All signals are visually displayed with color-coded markers and dashboard
Trading Method:
When a triangle signal appears, open a position on the next candle
Alternatively, after seeing a signal on a higher timeframe, you can switch to a lower timeframe to find a more precise entry point
Entry signals are clearly marked with visual indicators for easy identification
Risk Management Features:
Adjustable stop loss (percentage-based or ATR-based)
Optional trailing stops for protecting profits
Multiple take-profit levels for strategic position exit
Customization Options:
Timeframe selection (1m to Daily)
Pattern length and similarity threshold adjustment
Statistical period and weight configuration
Risk parameters including stop loss and trailing stop settings
This strategy is particularly well-suited for cryptocurrency markets due to their tendency to respect Fibonacci levels and technical patterns. Crypto's volatility is effectively managed through the customizable stop-loss and trailing-stop mechanisms, making it an ideal tool for traders in digital asset markets.
For optimal performance, this strategy works best on higher timeframes (30m, 1h and above) and is not recommended for low timeframe scalping. The Fibonacci pattern recognition requires sufficient price movement to generate reliable signals, which is more consistently available in medium to higher timeframes.
Users should avoid trading during sideways market conditions, as the strategy performs best during trending markets with clear directional movement. The statistical confirmation component helps filter out some sideways market signals, but it's recommended to manually avoid ranging markets for best results.
Vortex Sniper XVortex Sniper X – Trend-Following Strategy
🔹 Purpose
Vortex Sniper X is a trend-following strategy designed to identify strong market trends and enter trades in the direction of momentum. By combining multiple technical indicators, this strategy helps traders filter out false signals and only take trades with high confidence.
🔹 Indicator Breakdown
1️⃣ Vortex Indicator (Trend Direction & Strength)
Identifies the trend direction based on the relationship between VI+ and VI-.
Bullish Signal: VI+ crosses above VI-.
Bearish Signal: VI- crosses above VI+.
The wider the gap between VI+ and VI-, the stronger the trend’s momentum.
2️⃣ Relative Momentum Index (RMI – Momentum Confirmation)
Confirms whether price momentum supports the trend direction.
Long confirmation: RMI is rising and above the threshold.
Short confirmation: RMI is falling and below the threshold.
Filters out weak trends that lack sufficient momentum.
3️⃣ McGinley Dynamic (Trend Baseline Filter)
A dynamic moving average that adjusts to market volatility for smoother trend identification.
Long trades only if price is above the McGinley Dynamic.
Short trades only if price is below the McGinley Dynamic.
Prevents trading in choppy or sideways markets.
🔹 Strategy Logic & Trade Execution
✅ Entry Conditions
A trade is executed only when all three indicators confirm alignment:
Trend Confirmation: McGinley Dynamic defines the trend direction.
Vortex Signal: VI+ > VI- (bullish) or VI- > VI+ (bearish).
Momentum Confirmation: RMI must agree with the trend direction.
✅ Exit Conditions
Trend Reversal: If the opposite trade condition is met, the current position is closed.
Trend Weakness: If the trend weakens (detected via trend shifts), the position is exited.
🔹 Take-Profit System
The strategy follows a multi-stage profit-taking approach to secure gains:
Take Profit 1 (TP1): 50% of the position is closed at the first target.
Take Profit 2 (TP2): The remaining 50% is closed at the second target.
🔹 Risk Management (Important Notice)
🔴 This strategy does NOT include a stop-loss by default.
Trades rely on trend reversals or early exits to close positions.
Users should manually configure a stop-loss if risk management is required.

For example, you might use a shorter EMA (e.g., 21) for more responsive signals or a longer EMA (e.g., 50) for smoother signals.
Choose EMA Cloud Resolution:
Select the EMA Cloud Resolution (timeframe) for the cloud calculation.
You can choose the same timeframe as the chart or a different timeframe (higher or lower) for multi-timeframe analysis.
Adjust Risk Management:
Set the Stop Loss (%) and Take Profit (%) levels according to your risk tolerance and trading goals.
For example, you might use a 1% stop loss and a 2% take profit for a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Enable Alerts:
Enable alerts to receive notifications for long entry signals.
Alerts can be configured to send notifications via email, SMS, or other preferred methods.
Monitor and Trade:
Monitor the chart for buy signals and execute trades accordingly.
Use the EMA cloud as a visual guide to confirm the trend direction before entering a trade.
Ideal For:
Trend-Following Traders: This strategy is perfect for traders who prefer to trade in the direction of the trend and capitalize on sustained price movements.
Long-Only Traders: If you prefer to focus exclusively on long positions, this strategy provides a clear and systematic approach to identifying bullish opportunities.
Multi-Timeframe Analysts: The adjustable EMA cloud resolution allows you to analyze trends across different timeframes, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term traders.
Risk-Averse Traders: The inclusion of stop loss and take profit levels helps manage risk and protect your capital.
ThePawnAlgoPROThe Pawn algo PRO is an automated strategy that is useful to trade retracements and expansions using any higher timeframe reference.
Why is useful?
This algorithm is helpful to trade with the higher timeframe Bias and to see the HTF manipulations of the highs or lows once the candle open, usually in a normal buy candle will be a manipulation lower to end up higher. In a normal sell candle will be a manipulation higher to close lower. Once the potential direction of the Higher time frame candle is clear the algo will just enter on a trade on the lower timeframe aligned with the higher timeframe trend.
You can select any HTF you want from 1-365Days, 1-12Months or 1-52W ranges. Making this algorithm very flexible to adapt to any trader specialized timeframe.
How it works and how it does it?
It works with a simple but powerful pattern a close above previous candle high means higher prices and a close below previous candle low means lower prices, Close inside previous candle range means price is going to consolidate do some kind of retracement or reversal. The algo plots the candles with different colors to identify each of these states. And it does this in the HTF range plot.
This algo is similar to the previously released Pawn algo with the additional features that is an automated strategy that can take trade using desired risk reward and different entry types and trade management options. When the simple pattern is detected.
Also this version allows to plot the current developing HTF levels meaning the high, low and the 50%, plus the first created FVG(fair value gap introduced by ICT) in the range allowing to easily track any change in the potential direction of the HTF candle.
How to use it?
First select a higher timeframe reference and then select a lower timeframe, to visualize it better is recommended that the LTF is at least 10 times lower. Default HTF is 1 Week and LTF is 60min for trading the weekly expansions intraday.
Then we configure the HTF visualization it can be configure to show different HTF levels the premium/discount, wicks midpoints, previous levels, actual developing range or both. The Shade of the HTF range can be the body or the whole HTF range.
After that we configure the automated entries we can chose between buys only ,sell only entries or both and minimum risk reward to take a trade. Default value is 1.8RR and both entries selected. We can choose the maximum Risk Reward to avoid unrealistic targets default is 10RR. The maximum trades per HTF candle is also possible to select around this section.
Then we got the option to select which type of trade you want to take a trade around the open, the 50% or 75-80% or around the previous High for shorts or Low for longs. And off course the breakout entry that is for taking expansions outside previous HTF range. The picture below showcase an option using only entries on previous candles High or lows and 1Day as a HTF. You can also see the actual and previous HTF levels plotted.
Is important to take into account that these default settings are optimized for the MNQ! the 1W and 1H timeframes, but traders can adjust these settings to their desire timeframes or market and find a profitable configuration adjusting the parameters as they prefer. Initial balance, order size and commissions might be needed to be configured properly depending of the market. The algo provides a dashboard that make it easy to find a profitable configuration. It specifies the total trades, ARR that is an approximate value of the accumulative risk reward assuming all loses are 1R. The profit factor(PF) and percent profitable trades(PP) values are also available plus consecutives take profits and consecutives loses experimented in the simulation.
Finally there is an option to allow the algo to just trade following the direction of the trend if you just want to use it for sentiment or potential trend detection, this will place a trade in the most probable direction using the HTF reference levels, first FVG and LTF price action.
In the picture below you can see it in action in the 1min chart using 1H as HTF. When its trending works pretty well but when is consolidating is better to avoid using this option. Configuration below uses a time filter with the macro times specified by ICT that is also an available filter for taking trades. And the risk reward is set to minimum 2RR.
The cyan dotted line is the stop loss and the blue one above is the take profit level. The algo allows for different ways to exit in this case is using exit on a reversal, but can also be when the take profit is hit, or in a retracement. For the stop loss we can chose to exit on a close, reversal or when price hit the level.
Strategy Results
The results are obtained using 2000usd in the MNQ! 1 contract per trade. Commission are set to 2USD,slippage to 1tick,
The backtesting range is from April 19 2021 to the present date that is march 2025 for a total of 180 trades, this Strategy default settings are designed to take trades on retracements only, in any of the available options meaning around 50% to the extreme HTF high or low following the HTF trend, but can only take 2 trades per HTF candle and the risk reward must be minimum 1.8RR and maximum 8RR. Break even is set when price reaches 2RR and the exit on profit is on a reversal, and for loses when the stop is hit. The HTF range is 1 Week and LTF is 1H. The strategy give decent results, makes around 2 times the money is lost with around 30% profitable. It experiments drawdown when the market makes quick market structure shifts or consolidates for long periods of time. So should be used with caution, remember entries constitute only a small component of a complete winning strategy. Other factors like risk management, position-sizing, trading frequency, trading fees, and many others must also be properly managed to achieve profitability. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.

TEMA OBOS Strategy PakunTEMA OBOS Strategy
Overview
This strategy combines a trend-following approach using the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) with Overbought/Oversold (OBOS) indicator filtering.
By utilizing TEMA crossovers to determine trend direction and OBOS as a filter, it aims to improve entry precision.
This strategy can be applied to markets such as Forex, Stocks, and Crypto, and is particularly designed for mid-term timeframes (5-minute to 1-hour charts).
Strategy Objectives
Identify trend direction using TEMA
Use OBOS to filter out overbought/oversold conditions
Implement ATR-based dynamic risk management
Key Features
1. Trend Analysis Using TEMA
Uses crossover of short-term EMA (ema3) and long-term EMA (ema4) to determine entries.
ema4 acts as the primary trend filter.
2. Overbought/Oversold (OBOS) Filtering
Long Entry Condition: up > down (bullish trend confirmed)
Short Entry Condition: up < down (bearish trend confirmed)
Reduces unnecessary trades by filtering extreme market conditions.
3. ATR-Based Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL)
Adjustable ATR multiplier for TP/SL
Default settings:
TP = ATR × 5
SL = ATR × 2
Fully customizable risk parameters.

Breakouts With Timefilter Strategy [LuciTech]This strategy captures breakout opportunities using pivot high/low breakouts while managing risk through dynamic stop-loss placement and position sizing. It includes a time filter to limit trades to specific sessions.
How It Works
A long trade is triggered when price closes above a pivot high, and a short trade when price closes below a pivot low.
Stop-loss can be set using ATR, prior candle high/low, or a fixed point value. Take-profit is based on a risk-reward multiplier.
Position size adjusts based on the percentage of equity risked.
Breakout signals are marked with triangles, and entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are plotted.
moving average filter: Bullish breakouts only trigger above the MA, bearish breakouts below.
The time filter shades the background during active trading hours.
Customization:
Adjustable pivot length for breakout sensitivity.
Risk settings: percentage risked, risk-reward ratio, and stop-loss type.
ATR settings: length, smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA).
Moving average filter (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) to confirm breakouts.
