Efficient PriceTrading The Movements That Matters
Inspired by the Price Volume Trend indicator the Efficient Price aim to create a better version of the price containing only the information a trend trader must need.
Calculation
This indicator use the Efficiency Ratio as a smoothing constant, it is calculated as follow :
ER = abs(change(close,length))/sum(abs(change(close)),length)
The goal of the Efficiency Ratio is to show if the market is trending or ranging.If ER is high then the market is considered to be trending, if ER is low then the market is considered to be ranging.
Then the Efficient Price is calculated :
EP = cum(change(close)*ER)
When the price is trending, the indicator will show movements of the price with unchanged volatility, but if the price is not trending then the indicator will flatten those movements.Think of this indicator as both a filter and a compressor and the Efficient Price as some kind of threshold.
The Efficient Price As Input For Indicators/Strategies
If the indicator show the movement of the trending price, it can be interesting to use it as input in order to reduce the number of false signals in a strategy.
We will test 2 MACD strategy provided by tradingview, one using the closing price (In Red) and one with the efficient price (In White) as input
with both the following parameters :
fastLength = 50
slowlength = 200
MACDLength = 20
length = 50
Where length is the parameter of the Efficient Price.A spread of 2 pips is used.
Without Efficient Price : 26.88% of profitability, 69 pips of profit.
With Efficient Price : 38.46% of profitability, 336 pips of profit.
The difference of profitability is of 11.58%, the strategy with the Efficient Price made few trades and its equity have a lower variance than the equity of the MACD strategy using closing price.
Smoothed Version
It is possible to smooth the indicator output by using the following code :
EP = cum(change(close,length)*ER)

MASelect Crossover AlertsStudy for alerts, to be used with the MASelect Crossover Strat.
A simple crossover/crossunder strategy for beginners with options for 5 types of Moving Average. Use the strategy script to backtest and find your preferred Moving Average combinations and lengths.
Moving Average Cross and/or Bbands botHello TradingView and world!
This is one of our latest concepts for an actual bot builder. This script comes with a bunch of features that we're hoping will alleviate a lot of the stress and confusion around using and building strategies here on TV. Especially if the end-goal is to automate the strategies using Autoview.
This is a combination of 2 strategies, and gives you full control of each component within the script.
The 2 strategies are:
2 Moving Averages == if close is greater than moving average and moving average 1 is greater than moving average 2
Bolling Bands == if close is less than lower or greater than upper
Features / Settings included :
- Ability to change settings from a commodity market (default) to an altcoin or forex market.
- Backtest time period selector component
- Heiken Ashi Candles on/off
- Moving Average Strategy on/off
- Bollinger Bands Strategy on/off
- Both Moving Average settings can be adjusted
- Bollinger Bands length and multiplier can be adjusted.
- Pyramiding Greater Than, Equal To, or Less Than
- Trailing Stop with the ability to set a price in which the Trailing Stop activate
- Take Profit on/off and editable
- Stop Loss on/off and editable
- Margin Call on/off dependent on Leverage which is editable
- If pyramiding is used, the strategy will calculate and display your average on the chart
- Profit and Loss visuals added to the chart
You can watch a video here on how all the settings can be used and work together.

Heiken Ashi + Ichimoku Kinko Hyo StrategyHeikin-Ashi:
Instead of using the open-high-low-close (OHLC) bars like standard candlestick charts, it uses a modified formula. Out of which only following two are used in this strategy.
High = Max (High,Open,Close)
Low = Min (Low,Open, Close)
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo:
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system includes five kinds of signal, of which this strategy uses four signals i.e. Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross, price crosses the Kijun Sen, Chikou Span and Kumo. Although the Chikou Span, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B (Kumo) are shifted into the past/future, these trigger signals enhances the strategy.
The Tenkan Sen, also known as the Turning or Conversion line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 9 periods in this strategy.
The Kijun Sen, also known as the Standard or Base line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 24 periods in this strategy.
The Chikou Span, also known as the Lagging line, is the closing price plotted 24 periods behind in this strategy.
The Senkou Span A, also known as the 1st leading line, is a moving average of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen and is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
The Senkou Span B, also known as the 2nd leading line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 51 trading days is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
Hull MA-X + Ichimoku Kinko Hyo StrategyHull MA-X:
The Hull MA involves the weighted moving average ( WMA ) in its calculation.
First, calculate the WMA with period (n / 2) and multiply this by 2. Remember ‘n’ is the time period configurable based on the trader’s requirement.
Second, calculate the WMA for period “n” and subtract if from the first step. Thirdly, calculate the weighted moving average with period sqrt (n) using the data from the second step. You can take a look at the below formula:
Hull MA= WMA (2*WMA (n/2) − WMA (n)), sqrt (n))
The default setting is 12 periods in this strategy, fast Hull MA crossing slow Hull MA will generate a circle on charts.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo:
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system includes five kinds of signal, of which this strategy uses four signals i.e. Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross, price crosses the Kijun Sen, Chikou Span and Kumo. Although the Chikou Span, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B (Kumo) are shifted into the past/future, these trigger signals enhances the strategy.
The Tenkan Sen, also known as the Turning or Conversion line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 9 periods in this strategy.
The Kijun Sen, also known as the Standard or Base line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 24 periods in this strategy.
The Chikou Span, also known as the Lagging line, is the closing price plotted 24 periods behind in this strategy.
The Senkou Span A, also known as the 1st leading line, is a moving average of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen and is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
The Senkou Span B, also known as the 2nd leading line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 51 trading days is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
As with most technical analysis methods, Ichimoku is likely to produce frequent conflicting signals in non-trending markets, So in addition to Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, the Hull MA is used, which is popular amongst some day traders, in combination it attempts to give an accurate signal by eliminating lags and improving the smoothness of the line.
The Hull MA Cross in combination with Ichimoku Kinko Hyo signals tries to give an accurate signal by eliminating lags and improve the smoothness of price activity. Please note that price trends can and do change often, so your readings of the charts and this trading system should be probabilistic, rather than predictive.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo + HULL-MA_X + MacDThe Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system includes five kinds of signal, of which this strategy uses the most recent of ones i.e. Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross and price crosses the Kijun Sen. As the Chikou Span, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B are shifted into the past/future, the trigger signals will be only be used for visual confirmation and not part of the strategy.
The Tenkan Sen, also known as the Turning or Conversion line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 9 periods in this strategy.
The Kijun Sen, also known as the Standard or Base line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 24 periods in this strategy.
The Chikou Span, also known as the Lagging line, is the closing price plotted 24 periods behind in this strategy.
The Senkou Span A, also known as the 1st leading line, is a moving average of the Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen and is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
The Senkou Span B, also known as the 2nd leading line, is a moving average of the highest high and lowest low over the last 51 trading days is plotted 24 periods ahead in this strategy.
Moving average convergence divergence (MaCD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. The MaCD is calculated in this strategy by subtracting the 24-day exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day EMA. A nine-day EMA of the MACD, called the "signal line", aMaCD in this case, is then plotted on top of the MaCD. In this strategy, MaCD/ aMaCD Cross is functioning as a trigger for buy and sell signals.
As with most technical analysis methods, Ichimoku is likely to produce frequent conflicting signals in non-trending markets, So in addition to Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, the Hull MA is popular amongst some day traders, as the indicator which in combination with MaCD attempts to give an accurate signal by eliminating lags and improving the smoothness of the line.
Alan Hull, developed this moving average indicator and hence it’s called the Hull MA.
Now, let’s dissect how the Hull moving average is calculated.
The Hull MA involves the weighted moving average (WMA) in its calculation.
First, calculate the WMA with period (n / 2) and multiply this by 2. Remember ‘n’ is the time period configurable based on the trader’s requirement. The default setting is 12 periods in this strategy, fast Hull MA crossing slow Hull MA will generate a circle on charts.
Second, calculate the WMA for period “n” and subtract if from the first step. Thirdly, calculate the weighted moving average with period sqrt (n) using the data from the second step. You can take a look at the below formula:
Hull MA= WMA (2*WMA (n/2) − WMA (n)), sqrt (n))
The Hull MA Cross in combination with Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross and MaCD tries to give an accurate signal by eliminating lags and improve the smoothness of price activity. Please note that price trends can and do change often, so your readings of the charts and this trading system should be probabilistic, rather than predictive.
alert!!!!alerts work over values of plots on the chart. could not find a way to add an alert when a strategy is triggered.
so, i created an alert chart that uses the same conditions as the strategy(i published the example strat in my previous script). an alert chart should be mostly zero, but when the strat fires up, the alert = 1, and when the strat fires down, alert = -1. this way it's easy to check the chart for alerts.
but, if i'm looking at the cahrt and see the strat's arrows, what's the point? well, the point is that we can add alerts to this chart, to send emails, popup on screen, start screaming, whatever. so that now i don't actually need the chart in screen all the time :)
since this alert chart behaves so nice, values = to add an alert is just setting it's value >0.5, or value > -0.5 :)
note: aloert is not actually in the script, it has to be added manually using the button. if Pine has a way to add alerts programatically, i couldn't find it
Strategy Code Example - Risk Management*** THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF STRATEGY RISK MANAGEMENT CODE IMPLEMENTATION ***
For my own future reference, and for anyone else who needs it.
Pine script strategy code can be confusing and awkward, so I finally sat down and had a little think about it and put something together that actually works (i think...)
Code is commented where I felt might be necessary (pretty much everything..) and covers:
Take Profit
Stop Loss
Trailing Stop
Trailing Stop Offset
...and details how to handle the input values for these in a way that allows them to be disabled if set to 0, without breaking the strategy.exit functionality or requiring a silly amount of statement nesting.
Also shows how to use functions (or variables/series) to execute trade entries and exits.
Cheers!
Everyday 0003 _ MAC Pullback I recently posted a Moving Averge Crossover strategy for my Everyday project - a project I've given myself where I try to create one strategy everyday in between 15 minutes and 2 hours.
In the comments of my last published idea, user SignalTradersUK was very kind and suggested I try the following in my next study:
"i think your next study should be, to workout what to do after the Moving Average cross! If you look just on the chart you have posted, Price would appear to always come back to the levels where the 2 MA's cross and then go back in the direction of the crossing of the MA's. It's a great pull back strategy."
I'm really just beginning to learn about coding strategies so I'm not 100% sure I correctly understood his suggestion.
I admit I had difficulties wrapping my head around how to do this.
Anyway, the result is a strategy which runs alongside the main Moving Average Crossover.
'The Algorithm'
When the fast and slow MA cross the strategy traces back 40 days to find a swing low.
This swing low and the price at the MA cross is used to calculate a fib 1.272 extension.
The price at this 1.272 extension is used to place a Pullback short order.
Since we're shorting a bull trend, a tight stop is used.
If the pullback reaches down to the fib 0.618 we take profit (close the short).
Like I said, I don't know if I correctly understood SignalTradersUK feedback, but I really appreciate the
feedback and advice!
As always I'm hoping to learn from the community, so all feedback, corrections and advice is very welcome!
Thanks!

Binary Options Strategy Testing ScriptThis is a script for testing binary options trading strategies. To test a strategy, modify the 'go_down' or 'go_up' booleans. These SHOULD NOT access any current values (for example, 'ohlc4' or 'close '), or the backtesting will not be an accurate representation of the forward values.
Modify the fraction_return input to be the return rate of the option on success. This is assumed to be a true 100 or 0 option- i.e. if the choice is not correct, there is a 100% loss.
The strategy in place is merely an example, and as you can see, has a very negative rate of return when implemented as a strategy.
Please comment in your code if you use this in any future posts. Thanks!
Outsidebar vs Insidebar, Illusion Strategy (by ChartArt)WARNING: This strategy does not work! Please don't trade with this strategy
I'm sharing this strategy for the following three educational reasons:
1. You can easily find 100% strategies, but if they only seem to work 100% on one asset, they actually don't work at all. Therefore never backtest your strategy only on one asset, especially forward testing is useless, because it tends to repeat the old patterns. Your strategy has to work on as many different assets as possible.
2. The pyramiding of orders can have an impact on the strategy. In this case if you manually change the strategy settings by increasing it from 1 to 100 pyramiding orders changes the percent profitable on "UKOIL" monthly from 100% to 90% profitable. On other assets you can see very different results. Allowing much more pyramiding orders in this case results in opening orders where the background color highlights appear.
3. The Tradingview backtest beta version currently does not close the last open trade during the backtest. In this case going long on "UKOIL" near the top in 2011 as this strategy did would result in a big loss in 2015. But since the trade is still open and not canceled out by a new short order it still appears as if this strategy works 100% profitable. Which it doesn't.
[AutoView] MovingAvg Cross - Video AttachedThere is nothing special or spectacular about this script. It's your standard Moving Average Cross Strategy. It is actually a built in script everyone has access to already. I only changed some of the settings and flipped the orders.
The reason I actually published this, is because people have been asking me what the best way to find the best settings for a strategy. So I made a YouTube video showing people how I personally do it. I took this built in strategy and within 5 minutes took it from a net profit loss and profit factor of 0.5 to a net profit win with a profit factor of 3-5.
Of course this is only on the 1 minute candles, so forward testing the strategy is a must as I do not recommend straight up taking this and trading it.

Hope this helps everyone speed up their back testing and fine tuning their strategies.
How to automate this strategy for free using a chrome extension.Hey everyone,
Recently we developed a chrome extension for automating TradingView strategies using the alerts they provide. Initially we were charging a monthly fee for the extension, but we have now decided to make it FREE for everyone. So to display the power of automating strategies via TradingView, we figured we would also provide a profitable strategy along with the custom alert script and commands for the alerts so you can easily cut and paste to begin trading for profit while you sleep.
Step 1:
You are going to need to download the Chrome Extension called AutoView. You can get the extension for free by following this link: bit.ly ( I had to shorten the link as it contains Google and TV automatically converts it to a symbol)
Step 2: Go to your chrome extension page, and under the new extension you'll see a "settings" button. In the setting you will have to connect and give permission to the exchange 1broker allowing the extension to place your orders automatically when triggered by an alert.
Step 3: Setup the strategy and custom script for the alerts in TradingView. The attached script is the strategy, you can play with the settings yourself to try and get better numbers/performance if you please.
This following script is for the custom alerts:
//@version=2
study("4All-Alert", shorttitle="Alerts")
src = close
len = input(4, minval=1, title="Length")
up = rma(max(change(src), 0), len)
down = rma(-min(change(src), 0), len)
rsi = down == 0 ? 100 : up == 0 ? 0 : 100 - (100 / (1 + up / down))
rsin = input(5)
sn = 100 - rsin
ln = 0 + rsin
short = crossover(rsi, sn) ? 1 : 0
long = crossunder(rsi, ln) ? 1 : 0
plot(long, "Long", color=green)
plot(short, "Short", color=red)
Now that you have the extension installed, the custom strategy and alert scripts in place, you simply need to create the alerts.
To get the alerts to communicate with the extension properly, there is a specific syntax that you will need to put in the message of the alert. You can find more details about the syntax here : gist.github.com
For this specific strategy, I use the Alerts script, long/short greater than 0.9 on close.
In the message for a long place this as your message:
Long
c=order b=short
c=position b=short l=200 t=market
b=long q=0.01 l=200 t=market tp=13 sl=25
and for the short...
Short
c=order b=long
c=position b=long l=200 t=market
b=short q=0.01 l=200 t=market tp=13 sl=25
If you'll notice in my above messages, compared to the strategy my tp and sl (take profit and stop loss) vary by a few pips. This is to cover the market opens and spread on 1broker. You can change the tp and sl in the strategy to the above and see that the overall profit will not vary much at all.
I hope this all makes sense and it is enough to not only make some people money, but to show the power of coming up with your own strategy and automating it using TradingView alerts and the free Chrome Extension AutoView.
ps. I highly recommend upgrading your TradingView account so you have access to back testing and multiple alerts.
There is really no reason you won't cover the cost and then some on a monthly basis using the tools provided.
Best of luck and happy trading.
Note: The extension currently allows for automation on 2 exchanges; 1broker and Okcoin. If you do not have accounts there, we'd appreciate you signing up using our referral links.

ICT – Sweep + FVG + Displacement The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategy is a sophisticated trading philosophy rooted in institutional market behavior. It revolves around understanding how large players manipulate price to trigger retail stop-losses, create liquidity, and execute their orders. At its core, ICT focuses on market structure, identifying Higher Highs, Lower Lows, and shifts that signal potential reversals. Key concepts include Order Blocks—zones where institutions placed significant orders—and Fair Value Gaps (FVG), untraded areas that price tends to return to. The Liquidity Grab is a crucial phase: price sweeps through key levels to trap retail traders before reversing. Traders use higher timeframes (H4/H1) for structure analysis and lower ones (M15/M5) for precise entries. Entries occur after a Market Structure Shift, confirmed by FVG fill or OB retest, with strict risk management. A minimum 3:1 risk-reward ratio ensures long-term profitability. The strategy demands deep market awareness, patience, and discipline. It’s not about indicators, but about reading the "invisible hand" of the market—where supply and demand meet, and where smart money moves. For advanced traders, ICT offers a window into the true mechanics of price action, transforming trading from speculation into strategic insight. It’s not just a method—it’s a mindset.
Bollinger Bandit + TP EscalonadoDescription:
The Bollinger Bandit is a clean, visual mean reversion strategy designed to help traders identify potential reversal opportunities using Bollinger Bands. This strategy offers two distinct exit methods, giving you the flexibility to choose between classic band-based exits or precise fixed take-profit/stop-loss levels.
How It Works (Simple Explanation):
Basic Concept:
Prices often tend to return to their average after moving too far away. Bollinger Bands help identify these extreme moments.
Entry Signals:
BUY (Green Triangle): When price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band
SELL (Red Triangle): When price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band
Exit Options (CHOOSE ONE ONLY):
Option 1: Band & Mean Exits (Traditional)
Exit when price touches the opposite band
Optional exit at the middle moving average
Option 2: Fixed SL/TP Exits (Precise Risk Management)
Stop Loss: Fixed points from entry
Take Profit 1: First profit target (closes 50% of position)
Take Profit 2: Second profit target (closes remaining 50%)
Key Features:
Clear Visual Signals - Easy-to-see triangles for entries
Color-Coded Levels - Instant visual understanding
Fully Customizable - Adjust everything to your preference
Two Exit Strategies - Choose what works for your style
Risk Management - Fixed SL/TP with proper risk-reward ratios
Input Settings:
Bollinger Bands Configuration:
Period (20): Length of the moving average
Multiplier (1.0): Band width adjustment
Exit Strategy Selection:
Use Custom SL/TP - Switch between exit methods
Close on Moving Average - Enable/disable mean exits
Risk Management (SL/TP Mode):
SL Points (5): Stop Loss distance in points
TP1 Points (3): First Take Profit target
TP2 Points (5): Second Take Profit target
Important Notes:
CHOOSE ONLY ONE EXIT METHOD:
You can use EITHER Band/Mean exits OR Fixed SL/TP exits
Never enable both simultaneously
Ideal Market Conditions:
Works best in ranging markets
May give false signals in strong trends
Test different timeframes (1H-4H recommended)
How to Use:
Add the strategy to your chart
Choose your preferred exit method
Adjust settings to match your risk tolerance
Observe the visual signals on your chart
Practice with historical data first
Risk Disclaimer:
Trading involves significant risk of loss. This is not financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Test thoroughly before live trading. Only risk capital you can afford to lose.
This strategy is for educational purposes only. Always understand how any strategy works before using real capital.
Recommended Settings for Beginners:
Timeframe: 5M
SL: 5 points, TP1: 3 points, TP2: 5 points
Start with small position sizes

Triple EMA Trend TP Strategy (Filtered Entries + Dynamic Exit)Overview
The Triple EMA Trend TP Strategy is a robust trend-following approach designed for clear, disciplined entries and exits. It leverages a triple EMA crossover for entry signals, combined with a long‑term SMA trend filter, a fixed take‑profit percentage, and a dynamic dual‑EMA exit mechanism to optimize performance and risk management.
Key Features
Triple EMA Crossover Entry
Detects momentum shifts by waiting for the fast EMA to cross above the slow EMA, signaling bullish momentum buildup.
Trend Filter (SMA)
Ensures trades are only taken when price is above the long-term trend (SMA), filtering out low-probability setups.
Take Profit (TP)
Applies a customizable fixed TP, e.g., defaulting to 9.8%, allowing disciplined profit-taking.
Dual EMA Exit
Uses two EMAs on a separate exit logic—if the short exit EMA undercuts the mid exit EMA, the strategy closes the position.
Adjustable Parameters
All key lengths—including fast, mid, slow entry EMAs, trend SMA, exit EMAs, and TP percentage—are user-configurable to suit different assets and timeframes.
Date Range Control
Users can define a backtest window with start and end dates, preventing misleading performance outside intended periods.
Flexible Position Management
Supports full‑equity position sizing, pyramiding up to 10 entries, and runs every tick for high precision.
Setup & Inputs
fastLen: Entry Fast EMA
midLen: Entry Mid EMA
slowLen: Entry Slow EMA
trendLen: Trend Filter SMA
tpPercent: Take Profit Percentage
exitFastLen: Exit Fast EMA
exitMidLen: Exit Mid EMA
startDate / endDate: Backtest time range
Why This Strategy Stands Out
This strategy marries classic trend-following principles with modern risk-control tactics, making it both intuitive and advanced. It balances aggressive entry signals with safety checks via trend validation and layered exit logic. The inclusion of a TP ensures profits are locked in, while the dual EMA exit adds adaptive flexibility to close positions when momentum fades.
How to Use & Customize
Configure Inputs
Adjust EMAs, trend length, and TP percentage to fit your asset and timeframe. For example, shorter EMAs suit intraday trading; longer ones work well for swing strategies.
Set Backtest Range
Use the start/end date fields to limit your testing to the most relevant data, reducing noise from irrelevant market periods.
Backtest & Optimize
Review the Strategy Tester’s performance metrics—Equity curve, drawdown, profit factor, trade list—to assess effectiveness.
Fine‑Tune
Tweak TP, EMAs, or trend length to optimize drawdowns, win rate, or return profile.
