Enigma UnlockedENIGMA Indicator: A Comprehensive Market Bias & Success Tracker
The ENIGMA Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who aim to identify market bias, track price movements, and evaluate trade performance using multiple timeframes. It combines multiple indicators and advanced logic to provide real-time insights into market trends, helping traders make more informed decisions.
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe Bias Calculation:
The ENIGMA Indicator tracks the market bias across multiple timeframes—Daily (D), 4-Hour (H4), 1-Hour (H1), 30-Minute (30M), 15-Minute (15M), 5-Minute (5M), and 1-Minute (1M).
How the Bias is Created:
The Bias is a key feature of the ENIGMA Indicator and is determined by comparing the current price with previous price levels for each timeframe.
- Bullish Bias (1): The market is considered **bullish** if the **current closing price** is higher than the **previous timeframe’s high**. This suggests that the market is trending upwards, and buyers are in control.
- Bearish Bias (-1): The market is considered **bearish** if the **current closing price** is lower than the **previous timeframe’s low**. This suggests that the market is trending downwards, and sellers are in control.
- Neutral Bias (0): The market is considered **neutral** if the price is between the **previous high** and **previous low**, indicating indecision or a range-bound market.
This bias calculation is performed independently for each timeframe. The **Bias** for each timeframe is then displayed in the **Bias Table** on your chart, providing a clear view of market direction across multiple timeframes.
2. **Customizable Table Display:**
- The indicator provides a table that displays the bias for each selected timeframe, clearly marking whether the market is **Bullish**, **Bearish**, or **Neutral**.
- Users can choose where to place the table on the chart: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or center positions, allowing for easy and personalized chart management.
3. **Win/Loss Tracker:**
- The table also tracks the **success rate** of **buy** and **sell** trades based on price retests of key bias levels.
- For each period (Day, Week, Month), it tracks how often the price has moved in the direction of the initial bias, counting **Buy Wins**, **Sell Wins**, **Buy Losses**, and **Sell Losses**.
- This helps traders assess the effectiveness of the market bias over time and adjust their strategies accordingly.
#### **How the Success Calculation Determines the Success Rate:**
The **Success Calculation** is designed to track how often the price follows the direction of the market bias. It does this by evaluating how the price retests key levels associated with the identified market bias:
1. **Buy Success Calculation**:
- The success of a **Buy Trade** is determined when the price breaks above the **previous high** after a **bullish bias** has been identified.
- If the price continues to move higher (i.e., makes a new high) after breaking the previous high, the **buy trade is considered successful**.
- The indicator tracks how many times this condition is met and counts it as a **Buy Win**.
2. **Sell Success Calculation**:
- The success of a **Sell Trade** is determined when the price breaks below the **previous low** after a **bearish bias** has been identified.
- If the price continues to move lower (i.e., makes a new low) after breaking the previous low, the **sell trade is considered successful**.
- The indicator tracks how many times this condition is met and counts it as a **Sell Win**.
3. **Failure Calculations**:
- If the price does not move as expected (i.e., it does not continue in the direction of the identified bias), the trade is considered a **loss** and is tracked as **Buy Loss** or **Sell Loss**, depending on whether it was a bullish or bearish trade.
The ENIGMA Indicator keeps a running tally of **Buy Wins**, **Sell Wins**, **Buy Losses**, and **Sell Losses** over a set period (which can be customized to Days, Weeks, or Months). These statistics are updated dynamically in the **Bias Table**, allowing you to track your success rate in real-time and gain insights into the effectiveness of the market bias.
#### **Customizable Period Tracking:**
- The ENIGMA Indicator allows you to set custom tracking periods (e.g., 30 days, 2 weeks, etc.). The performance metrics reset after each tracking period, helping you monitor your success in different market conditions.
5. **Interactive Settings:**
- **Lookback Period**: Define how many bars the indicator should consider for bias calculations.
- **Success Tracking**: Set the number of candles to track for calculating the win/loss performance.
- **Time Threshold**: Set a time threshold to help define the period during which price retests are considered valid.
- **Info Tooltip**: You can enable the information tool in the settings to view detailed explanations of how wins and losses are calculated, ensuring you understand how the indicator works and how the results are derived.
#### **How to Use the ENIGMA Indicator:**
1. **Install the Indicator**:
- Add the ENIGMA Indicator to your chart. It will automatically calculate and display the bias for multiple timeframes.
2. **Interpret the Bias Table**:
- The bias table will show whether the market is **Bullish**, **Bearish**, or **Neutral** across different timeframes.
- Look for alignment between the timeframes—when multiple timeframes show the same bias, it may indicate a stronger trend.
3. **Use the Win/Loss Tracker**:
- Track how well your trades align with the bias using the **Win/Loss Tracker**. This helps you refine your strategy by understanding which timeframes and biases lead to higher success rates.
- For example, if you see a high number of **Buy Wins** and a low number of **Sell Wins**, you may decide to focus more on buying during bullish trends and avoid selling during bearish retracements.
4. **Track Your Period Performance**:
- The indicator will automatically track your performance over the set period (Days, Weeks, Months). Use this data to adjust your approach and evaluate the effectiveness of your trading strategy.
5. **Position the Table**:
- Customize the placement of the table on your chart based on your preferences. You can choose from options like **Top Left**, **Top Right**, **Bottom Left**, **Bottom Right**, or **Center** to keep the chart uncluttered.
6. **Adjust Settings**:
- Modify the indicator settings according to your trading style. You can adjust the **Lookback Period**, **Number of Candles to Track**, and **Time Threshold** to match the pace of your trading.
7. **Use the Info Tooltip**:
- Enable the **Info Tool** in the settings to understand how the Buy/Sell Wins and Losses are calculated. The tooltip provides a breakdown of how the indicator tracks price movements and calculates the success rate.
**Conclusion:**
The **ENIGMA Indicator** is designed to help traders make informed decisions by providing a clear view of the market bias and performance data. With the ability to track bias across multiple timeframes and evaluate your trading success, it can be a powerful tool for refining your trading strategies.
Whether you're looking to focus on a single timeframe or analyze multiple timeframes for a stronger bias, the ENIGMA Indicator adapts to your needs, providing both real-time market insights and performance feedback.
TradeChartist Spotter ™TradeChartist Spotter is a extremely well designed Trader's toolkit that packs a range of trading indicators like MACD, RSI, MA/MA-Crosses and Price-Volume Trend Oscillator, along with visual trade spotting tools like Symbol Tracker, MACD Trend Shadow plot and Coloured Bars, including a handy information Dashboard.
===================================================================================================================
™TradeChartist Spotter Features:
1. MACD
MACD is an essential indicator for any trader to track trend strength and momentum of asset prices. Spotter offers 3 MACD options - SMA, EMA and Zero-Lag EMA . Since MACD is based on moving averages, it is inherently a lagging indicator and may not work well when there is no trend strength or when the market is choppy. It is for this reason Spotter offers the option of Overall Trend Shadow and also the option to display Zero-Lag Trend Shadow on normal MACD based on SMA or EMA. This is based on the average of MACD and Signal plots.
Spotter's default MACD settings are 13/34/13, but this can be changed to the classic settings of 12/26/9 and the user can enable or disable the various elements of the MACD based on their preference.
The Dashboard on the MACD Spotter offers information on the symbol tracked, settings used and also the close price of the asset. This is really useful especially when tracking a different symbol than the current price chart symbol. Note that the actual MACD plot also will be of the symbol tracked if it is not the same as price chart symbol.
Using Zero-Lag Trend Shadow on normal SMA/EMA MACD histogram helps spot trend changes early. It is recommended to test different MACD settings on asset traded to suit trading style and frequency.
If MACD Histogram is disabled to see the Overall Trend better, make sure to switch back on as it should not be confused with the main MACD histogram which tracks the distance between the MACD and Signal plots.
2. RSI
RSI is the classic technical indicator that helps track the price magnitude and velocity of the asset's price movement. It helps spot Oversold and Overbought areas easily as it oscillates between 0 and 100, even though values below 10 and values above 90 are almost never seen. By using a upper band and a lower band plot, it is possible to track the strength of the up or down move.
Spotter's default RSI settings are ohlc4/14/5. EMA smoothing of 5 is used to eliminate the noise, but these can be changed to suit user's preference. The default Upper Band is 60 and Lower Band is 40 in the settings, as price moves above 60 RSI tend to be bullish and price moves below 40 tend to be bearish. This can be changed to 70/30 or 80/20 etc. based on how RSI is being used by the user.
RSI strength can also be visualised on the price bars using Spotter's Coloured Bars. The bar colours can be inverted to help traders see the price action differently.
RSI Dashboard also helps track another symbol, it's RSI value and close price to help the user track another symbol on the same chart. Note that the actual RSI plot also will be of the symbol tracked if it is not the same as price chart symbol.
3. MA/MA-Crosses
Two Moving averages (SMA, EMA or Zero-Lag EMA) can be plotted with MA Crosses using the MA/MA-Crosses Spotter.
The MACD input of Fast MA Length and Slow MA Length is used to plot the MA's. To plot just one MA, same value can be entered in both MA length boxes in the settings.
The plots can be merged with the main price chart by using Move Pane Above and by merging the scales into one.
The Dashboard also helps track another symbol, it's MA plots and close price to help the user track another symbol on the same chart. Note that the actual MA plots also will be of the symbol tracked if it is not the same as price chart symbol.
4. Price-Volume Trend Oscillator
Spotter converts the Price Volume Trend (PVT) into an Oscillator, as it helps spot divergences and makes it easy to plot PVT strength as coloured bars on main price chart.
No user input required for this Oscillator plot. Note: Some Symbols don't have volume information and hence PVT Oscillator will not work on them.
PVT Oscillator Dashboard displays current bar volume (if available) along with the close price. Similar to other plots in the Spotter, the Oscillator is of the symbol tracked if its not the same as price chart symbol.
5. Useful Extras
Coloured Bars - Paints price bars with strength and intensity based on indicator used. Bar Colours can be inverted by enabling Invert Bar Colors option from Spotter settings.
Five Colour Themes - Classic, Acute Classic, Effulgence, Firefly and Hallucination
Background colour - Same as bar colour strength, but painted subtly in the indicator background.
===================================================================================================================
Note:
Alerts can be created using the name of the plot under Alert Condition for Spotter - ™TradeChartist crossing above/below etc based on the type of alert the user wants to get.
The indicator does not repaint. Alerts may display potential repaint warning, but this is because the code uses bar index for the Dashboard. For confidence in the indicator, it can be tested using bar replay to make sure the real-time and bar replay trade entries and plots stay on the same bar/timestamp.
™TradeChartist Spotter can be connected to ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade (Premium Script - not free) to generate Trade Entries, Targets, Sop Loss plots etc and to create all types of alerts. Example chart below using LINK-USDT.
===================================================================================================================
Example Charts
1. BTC-USDT 1 hr chart showing MACD with classic settings 12/26/9 on top pane with normal Overall Trend Shadow and the bottom pane with exact same settings with Zero-Lag Overall Trend Shadow.
2. XAU-USD 4 hr chart showing MACD (13/55/34) using Zero-Lag EMA.
3.ADA-USDT 1 hr chart with Price-Volume Trend Oscillator - Useful for confirming divergences and trade decisions based on volume.
4. SPX 15m chart with RSI (ohlc4,14,5) in bottom pane and 5/34 MA cross Spotter on Price Chart with Dashboard.
5. GBP-USD 1 hr chart with Spotter tracking MACD (13/89/34) of DXY (Different Symbol from GBP-USD on chart)
===================================================================================================================
Best Practice: Test with different settings first using Paper Trades before trading with real money
This is a free to use indicator.

Quantum Reversal Engine [ApexLegion]Quantum Reversal Engine
STRATEGY OVERVIEW
This strategy is constructed using 5 custom analytical filters that analyze different market dimensions - trend structure, momentum expansion, volume confirmation, price action patterns, and reversal detection - with results processed through a multi-component scoring calculation that determines signal generation and position management decisions.
Why These Custom Filters Were Independently Developed:
This strategy employs five custom-developed analytical filters:
1. Apex Momentum Core (AMC) - Custom oscillator with volatility-scaled deviation calculation
Standard oscillators lag momentum shifts by 2-3 bars. Custom calculation designed for momentum analysis
2. Apex Wick Trap (AWT) - Wick dominance analysis for trap detection
Existing wick analysis tools don't quantify trap conditions. Uses specific ratios for wick dominance detection
3. Apex Volume Pulse (AVP) - Volume surge validation with participation confirmation
Volume indicators typically use simple averages. Uses surge multipliers with participation validation
4. Apex TrendGuard (ATG) - Angle-based trend detection with volatility band integration
EMA slope calculations often produce false signals. Uses angle analysis with volatility bands for confirmation
5. Quantum Composite Filter (QCF) - Multi-component scoring and signal generation system
Composite scoring designed to filter noise by requiring multiple confirmations before signal activation.
Each filter represents mathematical calculations designed to address specific analytical requirements.
Framework Operation: The strategy functions as a scoring framework where each filter contributes weighted points based on market conditions. Entry signals are generated when minimum threshold scores are met. Exit management operates through a three-tier system with continued signal strength evaluation determining position holds versus closures at each TP level.
Integration Challenge: The core difficulty was creating a scoring system where five independent filters could work together without generating conflicting signals. This required backtesting to determine effective weight distributions.
Custom Filter Development:
Each of the five filters represents analytical approaches developed through testing and validation:
Integration Validation: Each filter underwent individual testing before integration. The composite scoring system required validation to verify that filters complement rather than conflict with each other, resulting in a cohesive analytical framework that was tested during the development period.
These filters represent custom-developed components created specifically for this strategy, with each component addressing different analytical requirements through testing and parameter adjustment.
Programming Features:
Multi-timeframe data handling with backup systems
Performance optimization techniques
Error handling for live trading scenarios
Parameter adaptation based on market conditions
Strategy Features:
Uses multi-filter confirmation approach
Adapts position holding based on continued signal strength
Includes analysis tools for trade review and optimization
Ongoing Development: The strategy was developed through testing and validation processes during the creation period.
COMPONENT EXPLANATION
EMA System
Uses 8 exponential moving averages (7, 14, 21, 30, 50, 90, 120, 200 periods) for trend identification. Primary signals come from 8/21 EMA crossovers, while longer EMAs provide structural context. EMA 1-4 determine short-term structure, EMA 5-8 provide long-term trend confirmation.
Apex Momentum Core (AMC)
Built custom oscillator mathematics after testing dozens of momentum calculation methods. Final algorithm uses price deviation from EMA baseline with volatility scaling to reduce lag while maintaining accuracy across different market conditions.
Custom momentum oscillator using price deviation from EMA baseline:
apxCI = 100 * (source - emaBase) / (sensitivity * sqrt(deviation + 1))
fastLine = EMA(apxCI, smoothing)
signalLine = SMA(fastLine, 4)
Signals generate when fastLine crosses signalLine at +50/-50 thresholds.
This identifies momentum expansion before traditional oscillators.
Apex Volume Pulse (AVP)
Created volume surge analysis that goes beyond simple averages. Extensive testing determined 1.3x multiplier with participation validation provides reliable confirmation while filtering false volume spikes.
Compares current volume to 21-period moving average.
Requires 1.3x average volume for signal confirmation. This filters out low-volume moves during quiet periods and confirms breakouts with actual participation.
Apex Wick Trap (AWT)
Developed proprietary wick trap detection through analysis of failed breakout patterns. Tested various ratio combinations before settling on 60% wick dominance + 20% body limit as effective trap identification parameters.
Analyzes candle structure to identify failed breakouts:
candleRange = math.max(high - low, 0.00001)
candleBody = math.abs(close - open)
bodyRatio = candleBody / candleRange
upperWick = high - math.max(open, close)
lowerWick = math.min(open, close) - low
upperWickRatio = upperWick / candleRange
lowerWickRatio = lowerWick / candleRange
trapWickLong = showAWT and lowerWickRatio > minWickDom and bodyRatio < bodyToRangeLimit and close > open
trapWickShort = showAWT and upperWickRatio > minWickDom and bodyRatio < bodyToRangeLimit and close < open This catches reversals after fake breakouts.
Apex TrendGuard (ATG)
Built angle-based trend detection after standard EMA crossovers proved insufficient. Combined slope analysis with volatility bands through iterative testing to eliminate false trend signals.
EMA slope analysis with volatility bands:
Fast EMA (21) vs Slow EMA (55) for trend direction
Angle calculation: atan(fast - slow) * 180 / π
ATR bands (1.75x multiplier) for breakout confirmation
Minimum 25° angle for strong trend classification

Step 2: Signal Recognition
Visual Signal Guide:
Visual Signal Guide - Complete Reference:
🔶 Red Diamond: Bearish momentum breakdown - short reversal signal
🔷 Blue Diamond: Strong bullish momentum - long reversal signal
🔵 Blue Dot: Volume-confirmed directional move - trend continuation
🟢 Green Dot: Bullish EMA crossover - trend reversal confirmation
🟠 Orange X: Oversold reversal setup - counter-trend opportunity
❌ Red X: Bearish EMA breakdown - trend reversal warning
✡ Star Uprising: Strong bullish convergence
💥 Ultra Entry: Ultra-rapid downward momentum acceleration
▲ VSS Long: Velocity-based bullish momentum confirmation
▼ VSS Short: Velocity-based bearish momentum confirmation
Step 3: Entry Execution
For Long Positions:
1. ✅ EMA1 crossed above EMA2 exactly 3 bars ago [ta.crossover(ema1,ema2) ]
2. ✅ Current EMA structure: EMA1 > EMA2 (maintained)
3. ✅ Composite score ≥ 5.0 points (6.5+ for 5-minute timeframes)
4. ✅ Cooldown period completed (no recent stop losses)
5. ✅ Volume spike confirmation (green dot/blue dot signals)
6. ✅ Bullish candle closes above EMA structure
For Short Positions:
1. ✅ EMA1 crossed below EMA2 exactly 3 bars ago [ta.crossunder(ema1,ema2) ]
2. ✅ Current EMA structure: EMA1 < EMA2 (maintained)
3. ✅ Composite score ≥ 5.4 points (7.0+ for 5-minute timeframes)
4. ✅ Cooldown period completed (no recent stop losses)
5. ✅ Momentum breakdown (red diamond/red X signals)
6. ✅ Bearish candle closes below EMA structure
🎯 Critical Timing Note: The strategy requires EMA crossover to have occurred 3 bars prior to entry, not at the current bar. This attempts to avoid premature entries and may improve signal reliability.
Step 4: Reading Market Context
EMA Ribbon Interpretation:
All EMAs ascending = Strong uptrend context
EMAs 1-3 above EMAs 4-8 = Bullish structure
Tight EMA spacing = Low volatility/consolidation
Wide EMA spacing = High volatility/trending
Ichimoku Cloud Context:
Price above cloud = Bullish environment
Price below cloud = Bearish environment
Cloud color intensity = Momentum strength
Thick cloud = Strong support/resistance
THE SMART EXIT GRID SYSTEM
Smart Exit Grid Approach:
The Smart Exit Grid uses dynamic hold evaluation that continuously analyzes market conditions after position entry. This differs from traditional fixed profit targets by adapting exit timing based on real-time signal strength.
How Smart Exit Grid System Works
The system operates through three evaluation phases:
Smart Score Calculation:
The smart score calculation aggregates 22 signal components in real-time, combining reversal warnings, continuation signals, trend alignment indicators, EMA structural analysis, and risk penalties into a numerical representation of market conditions. MTF analysis provides additional confirmation as a separate validation layer.
Signal Stack Management:
The per-tick signal accumulation system monitors 22 active signal types with MTF providing trend validation and conflict detection as a separate confirmation layer.
Take Profit Progression:
Smart Exit Activation:
The QRE system activates Smart Exit Grid immediately upon position entry. When strategy.entry() executes, the system initializes monitoring systems designed to track position progress.
Upon position opening, holdTimer begins counting, establishing the foundation for subsequent decisions. The Smart Exit Grid starts accumulating signals from entry, with all 22 signal components beginning real-time tracking when the trade opens.
The system operates on continuous evaluation where smartScoreLong and smartScoreShort calculate from the first tick after entry. QRE's approach is designed to capture market structure changes, trend deteriorations, or signal pattern shifts that can trigger protective exits even before the first take profit level is reached.
This activation creates a proactive position management framework. The 8-candle sliding window starts from entry, meaning that if market conditions change rapidly after entry - due to news events, liquidity shifts, or technical changes - the system can respond within the configured lookback period.
TP Markers as Reference Points:
The TP1, TP2, and TP3 levels function as reference points rather than mandatory exit triggers. When longTP1Hit or shortTP1Hit conditions activate, they serve as profit confirmation markers that inform the Smart Exit algorithm about achieved reward levels, but don't automatically initiate position closure.
These TP markers enhance the Smart Exit decision matrix by providing profit context to ongoing signal evaluation. The system recognizes when positions have achieved target returns, but the actual exit decision remains governed by continuous smart score evaluation and signal stack analysis.
TP2 Reached: Enhanced Monitoring
TP2 represents significant profit capture with additional monitoring features:
This approach is designed to help avoid premature profit-taking during trending conditions. If TP2 is reached but smartScoreLong remains above the dynamic threshold and the 8-candle sliding window shows persistent signals, the position continues holding. If market structure deteriorates before reaching TP2, the Smart Exit can trigger closure based on signal analysis.
The visual TP circles that appear when levels are reached serve as performance tracking tools, allowing users to see how frequently entries achieve various profit levels while understanding that actual exit timing depends on market structure analysis.
Risk Management Systems:
Operating independently from the Smart Exit Grid are two risk management systems: the Trap Wick Detection Protocol and the Stop Loss Mechanism. These systems maintain override authority over other exit logic.
The Trap Wick System monitors for conditionBearTrapExit during long positions and conditionBullTrapExit during short positions. When detected, these conditions trigger position closure with state reset, bypassing Smart Exit evaluations. This system recognizes that certain candlestick patterns may indicate reversal risk.
Volatility Exit Monitoring: The strategy monitors for isStrongBearCandle combined with conditionBearTrapExit, recognizing when market structure may be shifting.
Volume Validation: Before exiting on volatility, the strategy requires volume confirmation: volume > ta.sma(volume, 20) * 1.8. This is designed to filter exits on weak, low-volume movements.
The Stop Loss Mechanism operates through multiple triggers including traditional price-based stops (longSLHit, shortSLHit) and early exit conditions based on smart score deterioration combined with negative ROI. The early exit logic activates when smartScoreLong < 1.0 or smartScoreShort < 1.0 while realROI < -0.9%.
These risk management systems are designed so that risk scenarios can trigger protective closure with state reset across all 22 signal counters, TP tracking variables, and smart exit states.
This architecture - Smart Exit activation, TP markers as navigation tools, and independent risk management - creates a position management system that adapts to market conditions while maintaining risk discipline through dedicated protection protocols.
TP3 Reached: Enhanced Protection
Once TP3 is hit, the strategy shifts into enhanced monitoring:
EMA Structure Monitoring: isEMAStructureDown becomes a primary exit trigger
MTF Alignment: The higher timeframe receives increased consideration
Wick Trap Priority: conditionBearTrapExit becomes an immediate exit signal
Approach Differences:
Traditional Fixed Exits:
Exit at predetermined levels regardless of market conditions
May exit during trend continuation
May exit before trend completion
Limited adaptation to changing volatility
Smart Exit Grid Approach:
Adaptive timing based on signal conditions
Exits when supporting signals weaken
Multi-timeframe validation for trend confirmation
Volume confirmation requirements for holds
Structural monitoring for trend analysis
Dynamic ATR-Based Smart Score Threshold System
Market Volatility Adaptive Scoring
// Real-time ATR Analysis
atr_raw = ta.atr(atrLen)
atrValue = na(atr_raw) ? close * 0.02 : atr_raw
atrRatio = atrValue / close
// Three-Tier Dynamic Threshold Matrix
dynamicThreshold = atrRatio > 0.02 ? 1.0 : // High volatility: Lower threshold
(atrRatio > 0.01 ? 1.5 : // Medium volatility: Standard
2.8) // Low volatility: Higher threshold
The market volatility adaptive scoring calculates real-time ATR with a 2% fallback for new markets. The atrRatio represents the relationship between current volatility and price, creating a foundation for threshold adjustment.
The three-tier dynamic threshold matrix responds to market conditions by adjusting requirements based on volatility levels: lowering thresholds during high volatility periods above 2% ATR ratio to 1.0 points, maintaining standard requirements at 1.5 points for medium volatility between 1-2%, and raising standards to 2.8 points during low volatility periods below 1%.
Profit-Loss Adaptive Management:
The system applies different evaluation criteria based on position performance:
Winning Positions (realROI ≥ 0%):
→ timeMultiplier = 1.0 (No additional pressure)
→ Maintains base threshold requirements
→ Allows natural progression to TP2/TP3 levels
Losing Positions (realROI < 0%):
→ Progressive time pressure activated
→ Increasingly strict requirements over time
→ Faster decision-making on underperforming trades
ROI-Adaptive Smart Hold Decision Process:
The strategy uses a profit-loss adaptive system:
Winning Position Management (ROI ≥ 0%):
✅ Standard threshold requirements maintained
✅ No additional time-based pressure applied
✅ Allows positions to progress toward TP2/TP3 levels
✅ timeMultiplier remains at 1.0 regardless of hold duration
Losing Position Management (ROI < 0%):
⚠️ Time-based threshold adjustments activated
⚠️ Progressive increase in required signal strength over time
⚠️ Earlier exit evaluation on underperforming positions
⚠️ timeMultiplier increases from 1.0 → 1.1 → 1.3 based on hold duration
Real-Time Monitoring:
Monitor Analysis Table → "Smart" filter → "Score" vs "Dynamic Threshold"
Winning positions: Evaluation based on signal strength deterioration only
Losing positions: Evaluation considers both signal strength and progressive time adjustments
Breakeven positions (0% ROI): Treated as winning positions - no time adjustments
This approach differentiates between winning and losing positions in the hold evaluation process, requiring higher signal thresholds for extended holding of losing positions while maintaining standard requirements for winning ones.
ROI-Conditional Decision Matrix Examples:
Scenario 1 - Winning Position in Any Market:
Position ROI: +0.8% → timeMultiplier = 1.0 (regardless of hold time)
ATR Medium (1.2%) → dynamicThreshold = 1.5
Final Threshold = 1.5 × 1.0 = 1.5 points ✅ Position continues
Scenario 2 - Losing Position, Extended Hold:
Position ROI: -0.5% → Time pressure activated
Hold Time: 20 bars → timeMultiplier = 1.3
ATR Low (0.8%) → dynamicThreshold = 2.8
Final Threshold = 2.8 × 1.3 = 3.64 points ⚡ Enhanced requirements
Scenario 3 - Fresh Losing Position:
Position ROI: -0.3% → Time pressure activated
Hold Time: 5 bars → timeMultiplier = 1.0 (still early)
ATR High (2.1%) → dynamicThreshold = 1.0
Final Threshold = 1.0 × 1.0 = 1.0 points 📊 Recovery opportunity
Scenario 4 - Breakeven Position:
Position ROI: 0.0% → timeMultiplier = 1.0 (no pressure)
Hold Time: 15 bars → No time penalty applied
Final Threshold = dynamicThreshold only ⚖️ Neutral treatment
🔄8-Candle Sliding Window Signal Rotation System
Composite Signal Counting Mechanism
// Dynamic Lookback Window (configurable: default 8)
signalLookbackBars = input.int(8, "Composite Lookback Bars", minval=1, maxval=50)
// Rolling Signal Analysis
compositeBuyRecentCount = 0
compositeSellRecentCount = 0
for i = 0 to signalLookbackBars - 1
compositeBuyRecentCount += compositeBuySignal ? 1 : 0
compositeSellRecentCount += compositeSellSignal ? 1 : 0
Candle Flow Example (8-bar window):
→
✓ ✓ ✗ ✓ ✗ ✓ ✗ ✓ 🗑️
New Signal Count = 5/8 signals in window
Threshold Check: 5 ≥ signalMinCount (2) = HOLD CONFIRMED
Signal Decay & Refresh Mechanism
// Signal Persistence Tracking
if compositeBuyRecentCount >= signalMinCount
smartHold_Long = true
else
smartHold_Long = false
The composite signal counting operates through a configurable sliding window. The system maintains rolling counters that scan backward through the specified number of candles.
During each evaluation cycle, the algorithm iterates through historical bars, incrementing counters when composite signals are detected. This creates a dynamic signal persistence measurement where recent signal density determines holding decisions.
The sliding window rotation functions like a moving conveyor belt where new signals enter while the oldest signals drop off. For example, in an 8-bar window, if 5 out of 8 recent candles showed composite buy signals, and the minimum required count is 2, the system confirms the hold condition. As new bars form, the window slides forward, potentially changing the signal count and triggering exit conditions when signal density falls below the threshold.
Signal decay and refresh occur continuously where smartHold_Long remains true only when compositeBuyRecentCount exceeds signalMinCount. When recent signal density drops below the minimum requirement, the system switches to exit mode.
Advanced Signal Stack Management - 22-Signal Real-Time Evaluation
// Long Position Signal Stacking (calc_on_every_tick=true)
if inLong
// Primary Reversal Signals
if signalRedDiamond: signalCountRedDiamond += 1 // -0.5 points
if signalStarUprising: signalCountStarUprising += 1 // +1.5 points
if entryUltraShort: signalCountUltra += 1 // -1.0 points
// Trend Confirmation Signals
if strongUpTrend: trendUpCount_Long += 1 // +1.5 points
if emaAlignment_Bull: bullAlignCount_Long += 1 // +1.0 points
// Risk Assessment Signals
if highRisk_Long: riskCount_Long += 1 // -1.5 points
if topZone: tzoneCount_Long += 1 // -0.5 points
The per-tick signal accumulation system operates with calc_on_every_tick=true for real-time responsiveness. During long positions, the system monitors primary reversal signals where Red Diamond signals subtract 0.5 points as reversal warnings, Star Uprising adds 1.5 points for continuation signals, and Ultra Short signals deduct 1.0 points as counter-trend warnings.
Trend confirmation signals provide weighted scoring where strongUpTrend adds 1.5 points for aligned momentum, emaAlignment_Bull contributes 1.0 point for structural support, and various EMA-based confirmations contribute to the overall score. Risk assessment signals apply negative weighting where highRisk_Long situations subtract 1.5 points, topZone conditions deduct 0.5 points, and other risk factors create defensive scoring adjustments.
The smart score calculation aggregates all 22 components in real-time, combining reversal warnings, continuation signals, trend alignment indicators, EMA structural analysis, and risk penalties into a numerical representation of market conditions. This score updates continuously, providing the foundation for hold-or-exit decisions.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME (MTF) SYSTEM
MTF Data Collection
The strategy requests higher timeframe data (default 30-minute) for trend confirmation:
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, mtfTimeframe, , lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off, gaps=barmerge.gaps_off)
MTF Watchtower System - Implementation Logic
The system employs a timeframe discrimination protocol where currentTFInMinutes is compared against a 30-minute threshold. This creates different operational behavior between timeframes:
📊 Timeframe Testing Results:
30M+ charts: Full MTF confirmation → Tested with full features
15M charts: Local EMA + adjusted parameters → Standard testing baseline
5M charts: Local EMA only → Requires parameter adjustment
1M charts: High noise → Limited testing conducted
When the chart timeframe is 30 minutes or above, the strategy activates useMTF = true and requests external MTF data through request.security(). For timeframes below 30 minutes, including your 5-minute setup, the system deliberately uses local EMA calculations to avoid MTF lag and data inconsistencies.
The triple-layer data sourcing architecture works as follows: timeframes from 1 minute to 29 minutes rely on chart-based EMA calculations for immediate responsiveness. Timeframes of 30 minutes and above utilize MTF data through the security function, with a backup system that doubles the EMA length (emaLen * 2) if MTF data fails. When MTF data is unavailable or invalid, the system falls back to local EMA as the final safety net.
Data validation occurs through a pipeline where mtf_dataValid checks not only for non-null values but also verifies that EMA values are positive above zero. The system tracks data sources through mtf_dataSource which displays "MTF Data" for successful external requests, "Backup EMA" for failed MTF with backup system active, or "Chart EMA" for local calculations.
🔄 MTF Smart Score Caching & Recheck System
// Cache Update Decision Logic
mtfSmartIntervalSec = input.int(300, "Smart Grid Recheck Interval (sec)") // 5-minute cache
canRecheckSmartScore = na(timenow) ? false :
(na(lastCheckTime) or (timenow - lastCheckTime) > mtfSmartIntervalSec * 1000)
// Cache Management
if canRecheckSmartScore
lastCheckTime := timenow
cachedSmartScoreLong := smartScoreLong // Store current calculation
cachedSmartScoreShort := smartScoreShort
The performance-optimized caching system addresses the computational intensity of continuous MTF analysis through intelligent interval management. The mtfSmartIntervalSec parameter, defaulting to 300 seconds (5 minutes), determines cache refresh frequency. The system evaluates canRecheckSmartScore by comparing current time against lastCheckTime plus the configured interval.
When cache updates trigger, the system stores current calculations in cachedSmartScoreLong and cachedSmartScoreShort, creating stable reference points that reduce excessive MTF requests. This cache management balances computational efficiency with analytical accuracy.
The cache versus real-time hybrid system creates a multi-layered decision matrix where immediate signals update every tick for responsive market reaction, cached MTF scores refresh every 5 minutes for stability filtering, dynamic thresholds recalculate every bar for volatility adaptation, and sliding window analysis updates every bar for trend persistence validation.
This architecture balances real-time signal detection with multi-timeframe strategic validation, creating adaptive trading intelligence that responds immediately to market changes while maintaining strategic stability through cached analysis and volatility-adjusted decision thresholds.
⚡The Execution Section Deep Dive
The execution section represents the culmination of all previous systems – where analysis transforms into action.
🚪 Entry Execution: The Gateway Protocol
Primary Entry Validation:
Entry isn't just about seeing a signal – it's about passing through multiple security checkpoints, each designed to filter out low-quality opportunities.
Stage 1: Signal Confirmation
entryCompositeBuySignal must be TRUE for longs
entryCompositeSellSignal must be TRUE for shorts
Stage 2: Enhanced Entry Validation
The strategy employs an "OR" logic system that recognizes different types of market opportunities:
Path A - Trend Reversal Entry:
When emaTrendReversal_Long triggers, it indicates the market structure is shifting in favor of the trade direction. This isn't just about a single EMA crossing – it represents a change in market momentum that experienced traders recognize as potential high-probability setups.
Path B - Momentum Breakout Entry:
The strongBullMomentum condition is where QRE identifies accelerating market conditions:
Criteria:
EMA1 rising for 3+ candles AND
EMA2 rising for 2+ candles AND
Close > 10-period high
This combination captures those explosive moves where the market doesn't just trend – it accelerates, creating momentum-driven opportunities.
Path C - Recovery Entry:
When previous exit states are clean (no recent stop losses), the strategy permits entry based purely on signal strength. This pathway is designed to help avoid the strategy becoming overly cautious after successful trades.
🛡️ The Priority Exit Matrix: When Rules Collide
Not all exit signals are created equal. QRE uses a strict hierarchy that is designed to avoid conflicting signals from causing hesitation:
Priority Level 1 - Exception Exits (Immediate Action):
Condition: TP3 reached AND Wick Trap detected
Action: Immediate exit regardless of other signals
Rationale: Historical analysis suggests wick traps at TP3 may indicate potential reversals
Priority Level 2 - Structural Breakdown:
Condition: TP3 active AND EMA structure deteriorating AND Smart Score insufficient
Logic: isEMAStructureDown AND NOT smartHold_Long
This represents the strategy recognizing that the underlying market structure that justified the trade is failing. It's like a building inspector identifying structural issues – you don't wait for additional confirmation.
Priority Level 3 - Enhanced Volatility Exits:
Conditions: TP2 active AND Strong counter-candle AND Wick trap AND Volume spike
Logic: Multiple confirmation required to reduce false exits
Priority Level 4 - Standard Smart Score Exits:
Condition: Any TP level active AND smartHold evaluates to FALSE
This is the bread-and-butter exit logic where signal deterioration triggers exit
⚖️ Stop Loss Management: Risk Control Protocol
Dual Stop Loss System:
QRE provides two stop loss modes that users can select based on their preference:
Fixed Mode (Default - useAdaptiveSL = false):
Uses predetermined percentage levels regardless of market volatility:
- Long SL = entryPrice × (1 - fixedRiskP - slipBuffer)
- Short SL = entryPrice × (1 + fixedRiskP + slipBuffer)
- Default: 0.6% risk + 0.3% slippage buffer = 0.9% total stop
- Consistent and predictable stop loss levels
- Recommended for users who prefer stable risk parameters
Adaptive Mode (Optional - useAdaptiveSL = true):
Dynamic system that adjusts stop loss based on market volatility:
- Base Calculation uses ATR (Average True Range)
- Long SL = entryPrice × (1 - (ATR × atrMultSL) / entryPrice - slipBuffer)
- Short SL = entryPrice × (1 + (ATR × atrMultSL) / entryPrice + slipBuffer)
- Automatically widens stops during high volatility periods
- Tightens stops during low volatility periods
- Advanced users can enable for volatility-adaptive risk management
Trend Multiplier Enhancement (Both Modes):
When strongUpTrend is detected for long positions, the stop loss receives 1.5x breathing room. Strong trends often have deeper retracements before continuing. This is designed to help avoid the strategy being shaken out of active trades by normal market noise.
Mode Selection Guidance:
- New Users: Start with Fixed Mode for predictable risk levels
- Experienced Users: Consider Adaptive Mode for volatility-responsive stops
- Volatile Markets: Adaptive Mode may provide better stop placement
- Stable Markets: Fixed Mode often sufficient for consistent risk management
Early Exit Conditions:
Beyond traditional stop losses, QRE implements "smart stops" that trigger before price-based stops:
Early Long Exit: (smartScoreLong < 1.0 OR prev5BearCandles) AND realROI < -0.9%
🔄 State Management: The Memory System
Complete State Reset Protocol:
When a position closes, QRE doesn't just wipe the slate clean – it performs a methodical reset:
TP State Cleanup:
All Boolean flags: tp1/tp2/tp3HitBefore → FALSE
All Reached flags: tp1/tp2/tp3Reached → FALSE
All Active flags: tp1/tp2/tp3HoldActive → FALSE
Signal Counter Reset:
Every one of the 22 signal counters returns to zero.
This is designed to avoid signal "ghosting" where old signals influence new trades.
Memory Preservation:
While operational states reset, certain information is preserved for learning:
killReasonLong/Short: Why did this trade end?
lastExitWasTP1/TP2/TP3: What was the exit quality?
reEntryCount: How many consecutive re-entries have occurred?
🔄 Re-Entry Logic: The Comeback System
Re-Entry Conditions Matrix:
QRE implements a re-entry system that recognizes not all exits are created equal:
TP-Based Re-Entry (Enabled):
Criteria: Previous exit was TP1, TP2, or TP3
Cooldown: Minimal or bypassed entirely
Logic: Target-based exits indicate potentially viable market conditions
EMA-Based Re-Entry (Conditional):
Criteria: Previous exit was EMA-based (structural change)
Requirements: Must wait for EMA confirmation in new direction
Minimum Wait: 5 candles
Advanced Re-Entry Features:
When adjustReEntryTargets is enabled, the strategy becomes more aggressive with re-entries:
Target Adjustment: TP1 multiplied by reEntryTP1Mult (default 2.0)
Stop Adjustment: SL multiplied by reEntrySLMult (default 1.5)
Logic: If we're confident enough to re-enter, we should be confident enough to hold for bigger moves
Performance Tracking: Strategy tracks re-entry win rate, average ROI, and total performance separately from initial entries for optimization analysis.
📊 Exit Reason Analytics: Learning from Every Trade
Kill Reason Tracking:
Every exit is categorized and stored:
"TP3 Exit–Wick Trap": Exit at target level with wick pattern detection
"Smart Exit–EMA Down": Structural breakdown exit
"Smart Exit–Volatility": Volatility-based protection exit
"Exit Post-TP1/TP2/TP3": Standard smart exit progression
"Long SL Exit" / "Short SL Exit": Stop loss exits
Performance Differentiation:
The strategy tracks performance by exit type, allowing for continuous analysis:
TP-based exits: Achieved target levels, analyze for pattern improvement
EMA-based exits: Mixed results, analyze for pattern improvement
SL-based exits: Learning opportunities, adjust entry criteria
Volatility exits: Protective measures, monitor performance
🎛️ Trailing Stop Implementation:
Conditional Trailing Activation:
Activation Criteria: Position profitable beyond trailingStartPct AND
(TP hold active OR re-entry trade)
Dynamic Trailing Logic:
Unlike simple trailing stops, QRE's implementation considers market context:
Trending Markets: Wider trail offsets to avoid whipsaws
Volatile Markets: Tighter offsets to protect gains
Re-Entry Trades: Enhanced trailing to maximize second-chance opportunities
Return-to-Entry Protection:
When deactivateOnReturn is enabled, the strategy will close positions that return to entry level after being profitable. This is designed to help avoid the frustration of watching profitable trades turn into losers.
🧠 How It All Works Together
The beauty of QRE lies not in any single component, but in how everything integrates:
The Entry Decision: Multiple pathways are designed to help identify opportunities while maintaining filtering standards.
The Progression System: Each TP level unlocks new protection features, like achieving ranks in a video game.
The Exit Matrix: Prioritized decision-making aims to reduce analysis paralysis while providing appropriate responses to different market conditions.
The Memory System: Learning from each trade while preventing contamination between separate opportunities.
The Re-Entry Logic: Re-entry system that balances opportunity with risk management.
This creates a trading system where entry conditions filter for quality, progression systems adapt to changing market conditions, exit priorities handle conflicting signals intelligently, memory systems learn from each trade cycle, and re-entry logic maximizes opportunities while managing risk exposure.

🎯 Advanced Smart Exit Debugging - ROI & Time-Based Threshold System
Understanding the Multi-Layer Threshold System:
Layer 1: Dynamic Threshold (ATR-Based)
atrRatio = ATR / close
dynamicThreshold = atrRatio > 0.02 ? 1.0 : // High volatility: Lower threshold
(atrRatio > 0.01 ? 1.5 : // Medium volatility: Standard
2.8) // Low volatility: Higher threshold
Layer 2: Time Multiplier (ROI & Duration-Based)
Winning Positions (ROI ≥ 0%):
→ timeMultiplier = 1.0 (No time pressure, regardless of hold duration)
Losing Positions (ROI < 0%):
→ holdTimer ≤ 8 bars: timeMultiplier = 1.0 (Early stage, standard requirements)
→ holdTimer 9-16 bars: timeMultiplier = 1.1 (10% stricter requirements)
→ holdTimer 17+ bars: timeMultiplier = 1.3 (30% stricter requirements)
Layer 3: Final Threshold Calculation
finalThreshold = dynamicThreshold × timeMultiplier
Examples:
- Winning Position: 2.8 × 1.0 = 2.8 (Always standard)
- Losing Position (Early): 2.8 × 1.0 = 2.8 (Same as winning initially)
- Losing Position (Extended): 2.8 × 1.3 = 3.64 (Much stricter)
Real-Time Debugging Display:
Smart Exit Section shows:
Score: 3.5 → Current smartScoreLong/Short value
Dynamic Threshold: 2.8 → Base ATR-calculated threshold
Final Threshold: 3.64 (ATR×1.3) → Actual threshold used for decisions
Score Check: FAIL (3.5 vs 3.64) → Pass/Fail based on final comparison
Final Hold: NO HOLD → Actual system decision
Position Status Indicators:
Winner + Early: ATR×1.0 (No pressure)
Winner + Extended: ATR×1.0 (No pressure - winners can run indefinitely)
Loser + Early: ATR×1.0 (Recovery opportunity)
Loser + Extended: ATR×1.1 or ATR×1.3 (Increasing pressure to exit)

2. Check Hold Duration:
Early Stage (≤8 bars): Standard multiplier regardless of ROI
Extended Stage (9-16 bars): Slight pressure on losing positions
Long Stage (17+ bars): Strong pressure on losing positions
3. Score vs Final Threshold Analysis:
Score ≥ Final Threshold = HOLD (Continue position)
Score < Final Threshold = EXIT (Close position)
Watch for timeMultiplier changes as position duration increases
4. Understanding "Why No Hold?"
Common scenarios when Score Check shows FAIL:
Losing position held too long (timeMultiplier increased to 1.1 or 1.3)
Low volatility period (dynamic threshold raised to 2.8)
Signal deterioration (smart score dropped below required level)
MTF conflict (higher timeframe opposing position direction)
For Entry Signal Analysis:
Composite Score Reading: Signal strength relative to threshold requirements
Component Analysis: Individual filter contributions to overall score
EMA Structure: Confirm 3-bar crossover requirement met
Cooldown Status: Ensure sufficient time passed since last exit
For ReEntry Opportunities (when enabled):
System Status: Availability and eligibility for re-engagement
Exit Type Analysis: TP-based exits enable immediate re-entry, SL-based exits require cooldown
Condition Monitoring: Requirements for potential re-entry signals
Debugging Common Issues:
Issue: "Score is high but no hold?"
→ Check Final Threshold vs Score (not Dynamic Threshold)
→ Losing position may have increased timeMultiplier
→ Extended hold duration applying pressure
Issue: "Why different thresholds for same score?"
→ Position ROI status affects multiplier
→ Time elapsed since entry affects multiplier
→ Market volatility affects base threshold
Issue: "MTF conflicts with local signals?"
→ Higher timeframe trend opposing position
→ System designed to exit on MTF conflicts
→ Check MTF Data Valid status

(XSN7) with SMT Divergence v9.0 The (XSN7) is an efficiency and precision tool designed for traders who operate with a time-based, multi-market methodology. Its primary purpose is to automate the most time-consuming aspects of liquidity and SMT analysis, allowing the trader to focus on execution rather than manual chart preparation.
Why This Tool Provides a Unique Edge
Many indicators can show sessions or require manual SMT setup. This tool is fundamentally different by solving two critical workflow problems:
It Automates High/Low Tracking: You no longer need to manually draw lines on the highs and lows of every 1-Hour, 4-Hour, or 15-Minute candle you want to track. The script does this for you automatically, tracking the exact high/low of every completed session across your chart history. This not only saves a significant amount of time but also ensures 100% precision and consistency, removing the risk of human error in your analysis.
It Automates SMT Analysis with a 'One-Time Setup': Analyzing SMT divergence traditionally requires manually switching between charts and constantly changing the input for your correlated symbol. Our SMT Auto-Pairing Engine eliminates this entirely. You configure your primary trading pairs (e.g., NQ/ES, EURUSD/DXY) one time. The script then intelligently detects which asset you are viewing and automatically pulls data from its correct correlated pair—with the correct inverse logic if needed. This creates a seamless, streamlined workflow for multi-market analysis.
By automating these core processes, the indicator provides a tangible edge in speed and accuracy.
Key Features
Automated High/Low Tracking: The script automatically identifies, marks, and tracks the precise high and low of completed 1-Hour, 4-Hour, 90-Minute, and 15-Minute sessions.
Intelligent Liquidity Sweep Alerts: Receive real-time alerts the moment an automatically-tracked session high or low is swept. Alerts are highly configurable, with filters for Daily Bias (Bullish/Bearish) and specific hours of the day.
'One-Time Setup' SMT Auto-Pairing Engine: Define your correlated pairs once, and the script handles the rest. It automatically detects your active chart and applies the correct SMT analysis without needing any further manual input.
Full Visual & Technical Control: Customize every visual element, including session colors, line styles, and labels. Includes Light/Dark themes and precise timezone settings to match your trading environment.
How to Use This Indicator
1. Setup & Configuration:
Timezone: In the ⚙️ General Settings, set your UTC (+/-) offset to align the session boxes with your local time.
SMT Auto-Pairing (One-Time Setup):
Go to the ⚙️ SMT Auto-Pairing settings.
Check Enable SMT Auto-Pairing.
For each pair you trade, define the Primary ticker (the one on your chart) and the Correlated ticker. Be sure to check Inverse if required (e.g., EURUSD vs. DXY).
This system now works automatically in the background.
2. Alert Configuration:
Click the "Alert" button in TradingView.
Set "Condition" to the script name: (XSN7) with SMT Divergence....
Select "Any alert() function call" and set the frequency to "Once Per Bar".
In the script's 🚨 Alert & Sweeper Settings, check the boxes for the hours (NY Time) during which you want to receive sweep alerts.
AQPRO ScalperX📝 INTRODUCTION
AQPRO ScalperX is a trading indicator designed for fast-paced, intraday trading. It uses Donchian channel breakouts, combined with a proprietary filtering system, to catch buy and sell opportunities as close to the beginning as possible without losing quality of the signals.
On top of core signals, ScalperX includes a real-time max profit tracker, a multi-timeframe (MTF) dashboard, support and resistance zones, and risk management visualization tools like automatic rendering of TP and SL lines. The indicator is fully customizable for both its visuals and functional settings.
🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
This indicator was initially designed with the idea of trying to make such a tool, that would be able to catch trend reversal in the most safe way. In this particular situation term 'safe way' is very abstract and it is up to interpretation, but we decided that our definition will be 'trading with price breakouts' , meaning that we would like to capitalize on price breaking its previous structure in the direction opposite to the previous one.
You can clearly see on the chart how buy and sell signals are going one after another on the screenshot below:
This ensures that we follow trend consistently and without missing out on potential profits. Just like they say: " let the winners run ".
Even though indicator with similar goals already exist in the open market, we believe that our proprietary algorithms and filters for determining price breakouts can make a big difference to traders, which employ similar strategies on daily basis, by helping them understand where are the potential high-quality breakouts might be. We haven't found indicator with exact same functionality as ours, which means that traders will be able to leverage an actually new tool to generate new price insights.
In short, main goals of this indicator are as follows:
Catching high-quality price breakouts, filtered to reduce the amount of choppy moves and false signals;
Tracking potential profits in real-time, directly on trader's chart;
Organizing data visualization of data pf latest signals from chosen asset from multiple timeframe in one dashboard;
Automated highlighting of key support and resistance zones on the chart, which serve as confirmation for main signals;
⚙️ SETTINGS OVERVIEW
Options for customization of this indicator are straightforward, but let's review them to make things certainly clear:
🔑 ScalperX / Main Settings
Range — defines the "wideness" of the breakout boxes. Higher values create wider breakout zones and impact breakout sensitivity;
Filter — adjusts the spacing between breakout boxes, determining the strictness of signal filtering. Higher values lead to more selective and rarer signals;
Show Max Profit — displays a real-time line and label that updates when a trade achieves a new peak profit, measured in ticks.
⏰ MTF Signal / Main Settings
Show MTF Signals — enables the generation of buy/sell signals from selected higher timeframes, displayed as labels on the current chart;
Timeframe — specifies the higher timeframe to use for MTF signal detection, such as 1 hour (1h) or 4 hours (4h).
🗂️ MTF Dashboard / Main Settings
Show MTF Dashboard — activates a dashboard that tracks entries, TP, SL, and overall trade bias for one selected symbol across four customizable timeframes;
* Dashboard position ( Vertical ) — adjusts whether the dashboard appears on the Top, Middle, or Bottom of the chart;
* Dashboard position ( Horizontal ) — aligns the dashboard Left, Center, or Right within the chart window;
* the name of the parameter is hidden in the settings
🗂️ MTF Dashboard / Ticker
Ticker to Track — Allows you to choose the specific ticker symbol (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT) for MTF tracking.
🗂️ MTF Dashboard / Timeframes
* Timeframe 1 — set the first timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 15 minutes);
* Timeframe 2 — set the second timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 30 minutes);
* Timeframe 3 — set the third timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 1 hour);
* Timeframe 4 — set the fourth timeframe for multi-timeframe analysis (e.g., 4 hours).
* the name of the parameter is hidden in the settings
🛡️ Risk Management / Main Settings
Show TP&SL — displays dynamic lines and labels for the entry, Take Profit (TP), and Stop Loss (SL) of the most recent signal, updated in real-time until a new signal triggers;

📐 Support & Resistance / Main Settings
Show Support & Resistance Zones — enables dynamic zones based on pivot points, colored bullish or bearish based on price context;
History Lookback — defines the number of bars to consider when calculating support and resistance levels. Increasing this results in zones derived from longer-term price structures.
🎨 Visual Settings / ScalperX
Bullish Box — defines the color for bullish breakout boxes;
Bearish Box — defines the color for bearish breakout boxes;
Max Profit — sets the color for the max profit line on the chart.
🎨 Visual Settings / S&R
Support — defines color used for standard support zones;
Resistance — defines color used for standard resistance zones;
Strong Support — defines special color for zones classified as "strong support";
Strong Resistance — defines special color for zones classified as "strong resistance".
🎨 Visual Settings / MTF Dashboard
Bullish — sets the color for bullish trade states in the MTF dashboard;
Bearish — sets the color for bearish trade states in the MTF dashboard.
🔔 Alerts / Main Settings
Buy & Sell — toggles alerts for buy and sell signals detected by the indicator in the current chart timeframe;
MTF Buy & Sell — toggles alerts for buy and sell signals detected across the selected MTF timeframes.
📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
Application flow of this indicator very easy to understand and get used to, because all of the necessary elements — analysis, drawing, alert — are already automated by our algorithms. Let's review how the indicator works.
Let's start with the most basic thing — how will your indicator look when you load it on your chart for the first time:
AQPRO ScalperX consists mainly of 6 logic blocks:
ScalperX signals;
Risk visualization;
Max Profit tracking;
MTF scalper signals;
MTF dashboard;
Support & Resistance zones.
Description of each logic block is provided in the corresponding sections below.
SCALPERX SIGNALS
Signals, generated by our indicator, are shown on the chart as coloured up/down triangle. When a signal appears on the chart, indicator also create a box of length equal to 'Range' parameter from "Main Settings" group of settings. This box is intended to show which area of the price was broken by current candle.
It also important to acknowledge, the breakout itself happens only when price closes beyond broken price area with its close (!) price . Breakouts with highs or lows are not counted. This reduces the amount of low-quality signals and ensures that only the strong breakout will appear on the chart.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: all signals are considered valid only on the close of the candle, which triggered the signal, so if you want to enter a trade by any signal, wait for its candle to close and open your trade right on the next candle.
Talking about scalper's settings, we need to shed a light on how the changes in them affect signal's quality.
Parameter 'Range' defines the amount of bars, that will be review prior to current candle to determine wether the price area of this bars is good enough to track and if current candle actually broke this price area.
👍 Rule of thumb : the higher the 'Range' is, the "wider" the boxes. Also the with the increase of this parameter rises the lag of the signals, so be carefully with setting high values to this parameter.
See the visual showcase of signals with different 'Range' parameters on the screenshot below:
The example above features two instancies of ScalperX with two different 'Range' parameter values: 15 (leftchart) and 5 (right chart). You can clearly see, that on left chart here are 2 signals in comparison to 6 signals on right chart. Also signals on the left side have bigger lag and they don't catch the start of the move in comparison to how quickly tops and bottoms are catched with low 'Range' . However, low 'Range' will lead to excessive amount of signals, quality of which during 'whipsaw' markets is not that great.
✉️ Our advice on how to optimally set 'Range' parameter:
Use low values to trade during the times, when there are a lot of clean up and down impulses. This way you will catch reversal opportunities sooner and the quality of the signals will still be great;
Use high values on the 'whipsaw' markets. This will filter out many bad signals, that you would get with low-value 'Range' , and will drastically reduces amount of losing trades.
Talking about the 'Filter' parameter, this particular setting defines the 'strictness' of rules which will be applied to price area validation process. Essentially, the higher this parameter is, the stronger price impulse has to be confirm the breakout. However, changes in this parameter will not impact the "wideness" of boxes at all.
👍 Rule of thumb : the higher the 'Filter' is, the more separated the signal will be. Setting this parameter to high value will lead to increase in lag and big reduction in amount of signals, so be careful this parameter to high values.
See the visual showcase of signals with different 'Filter' parameters on the screenshot below:
The example above features two instancies of ScalperX with two different 'Filter' parameter values: 20 (left chart) and 2.5 (right chart). You can clear see, that low 'Filter' generated 6 signals, while higher one generated only 4 signals. However if you look closer, you will see that 2 signals, that existing in the yellow dashed area on the right chart, don't exist in the same area on the left chart. This is because high value of this parameter requires price impulse to be very strong in order for the indicator to mark this breakout as a valid one. What is more important is that these 2 'missing' signals were actually bad and, technically, we actually cut our losses in this case with high value of 'Filter' . You can see that the leftmost sell signal on the left chart eventually closed in a nice profit, in comparison to the same trade being closed in a loss on the right chart because of the 2 signals that we were talking about above.
It is important to note, that setting 'Filter' to low values will not affect performance this much as it low value of 'Range' do, because the indicator already works on low values of this parameter by default and the signals on average are already good enough for trading.
✉️ Our advice on how to optimally set 'Filter' parameter:
Use low values to trade on the markets with clean up and down impulses. This way you avoid excessive filtering and leave a room for good signals to come right at you;
Use high values to trade on 'whipsaw' markets. Higher values of this parameter on these markets have same effect as high 'Range' parameter: filtering false signals and leaving room for actually strong price impulses, which you will later capitalize on.
RISK VISUALIZATION (TP&SL)
Rendering Take-Profits and Stop-Losses in our indicator works quite simple: for each new trade indicator creates new pairs of lines and labels for TP and SL, while lines & labels from previous trade are erased for aesthetics purposes. Each label shows price coordinates, so that each trader would be able to grap the numbers in seconds.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL visualization on the screenshot below:
Also, whenever TP or SL of the current trade is reached, drawing of both TP and SL stops. When the TP is reached, additional '✅' emoji on the TP price is shown as confirmation of Take-Profit.
However, while TP or SL has not been reached, TP&SL labels and lines will be prolonged until one of them will be reached or new signals will come.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL stopping being visualized & TP on the screenshot below:
MAX PROFIT TRACKING
This mechanic is not particularly a new one in field of trading, but people usually forgot that it can be a useful indicator of state of the market:
when lines and labels of Max Profit are far from entry points on consistent basis , it usually means that indicator's signals actually can catch a beginning of good price moves, which enables trader to capitalize on them;
when lines and labels of Max Profit are close to entry points on consistent basis , it means that either market is choppy or the indicator can't catch trading opportunities in time. To 'fix' this you can try to reconfigure scalper's parameters, which were described above.
Principles of Max Profit in this indicator are of industry-standard: when price updates its extremum and 'generates' more profit than it previously did, Max Profit label and line change their position to this extremum. Max Profit label displays the maximum potential amount of profit that a trader could have got during this trade in pips (!) .
See the visual showcase of Max Profit work on the screenshot below:
MTF SCALPER SIGNALS
The principles of these signals are exactly the same as principles for classic Scalper signals. Refer to 'Scalper Signals' section above to rehearse the knowledge.
Logic behind these signals is very simple:
We take classic Scalper signals;
We request the data about these latest signals from specific other timeframe ( user can choose it in the settings );
If such signals appeared, we display it on the chart as a big label with timeframe value inside of it. In comparison to classic signals, no additional boxes are created . TP&SL functionality doesn't cover MTF signals, so don't expect to see TP&SL lines and labels for MTF signals.
See the visual showcase of MTF Scalper signals on the screenshot below:
MTF DASHBOARD
The functionality of the dashboard is pretty simple, but it makes the dashboard itself a very powerful tool in a hands of experienced trader.
Let's review structure of MTF dashboard on the screenshot below:
The important feature of MTF dashboard is that its tracks latest trade's data from a particular ticker and its four timeframes, all of which any trader chooses in the settings. This means, that you can be on asset ABC , but track the data from asset XYZ . This allows for a quick scan of sentiment from different assets and their timeframes, which gives traders a clue on what is the trend on these assets both on lower and higher timeframes at the same moment and saves a lot of time from jumping from one asset & timeframe to another.
To see that this is exactly the case with our indicator, see the screenshot below:
Needless to say, that you can track current asset in the dashboard as well. This will have the same benefits, described in the paragraph above.
You can also customize colours for bullish and bearish patterns for MTF Dashboard in the settings.
SUPPORT & RESISTANCE ZONES
Support & resistance (S&R) zones are a great tool for confirming Scalper signals in complex situations. Using these zones to determine whether or a particular entry opportunity is good is a practice of professional traders, which we specifically added to our indicator for the reason of improving the quality of Scalper signals in long run.
The mechanics behind these zones is based on pivot points, the lookback for which you can customize in the parameter called 'History Lookback (Bars)' in "Support & Resistance / Main Settings" group of settings. Increasing this parameter will lead to a appearance of more 'global' zones, but they will appear much rarer, rather then zones, generated with low values of this parameter.
The quality of these zones doesn't change much when changing this parameter — it only changes the frequency of the zones on the chart. Zones, generated from high values of this parameter are more suitable for long-term trading, while zones, generated from low value of this parameter, are more suitable for short-term trading.
It also important to mention that any zone on the chart is considered active only until the moment its farther border ( top border for resistance zones and bottom border for support zones) is reached by price's high or low .
Take a look on the screenshot below to see which zones does the indicator draw:
Let's review the zones themselves now:
Classic Support/Resistance Zone — a standard zone, which on average has amedium success rate to reverse the price when collided with it;
High-buyer-volume/High-seller-volume Support/Resistance Zone — a stronger zone, which on average has much better success rate to reverse the price when collided with it. Classic zone is marked as high-volume only if the up/down volume near the pivot point of this zone is greater than a certain threshold ( not changeable );
Extreme Support/Resistance Zone — a zone, which appeared beyond price's least-possible-to-cross levels, and has to the highest success rate of reversing the price on encounter across the zones, mentioned previously. Classic zone, which appeared beyond certain price levels, calculated with our proprietary risk system, is considered extreme. Classic zone doesn't need to be high-volume to become an Extreme Zone!
High-buyer-volume/High-seller-volume Extreme Support/Resistance Zone — an Extreme Zone, which has also passed up/down volume evolution process, mentioned in the point 2 .
Trading with the zones, mentioned above, with highest-on-paper success rate — especially Extreme Zones — does NOT guarantee you a price reversal when the price will reach this zone. However, by conducting our own extensive research with this indicator, we have found that using these zone will actually help you increase your success rate on average, because using these zones as confirmation systems filter out quite a number of false signals on average.
It is also important to mention, that opacity (same as 'transparency') of S&R zones depends on the volume of around zone's pivot point:
if volume is high , zone has 'brighter' (less opacity) colour;
if volume is low , zone has 'darker' (more opacity) colour.
Let's review examples of Scalper signal, which 1) where filtered out by our S&R zones and 2) where confirmed by our S&R zones. See the screenshot below:
The example above clearly shows the importance of having an S&R zone confirming the signal. This kind of 'team work' between of Scalper signals and S&R zones results in filtering lots of bad signals and confirmation of truly strong ones.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new signal occurs on the current timeframe or on MTF timeframe. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call'.
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
// Alerts for current timeframe
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BUY_OR_SELL"
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: Buy"
// Alerts for MTF timeframe
string msg_template_mtf = "MTF / EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BUY_OR_SELL"
string msg_example_mtf = "MTF / BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 1h: Buy"
📌 NOTES
This indicators works best on assets with high liquidity; most suitable timeframes range from 1m to 4h (depends on your trading style) ;
Seriously consider using S&R zones as confirmation to main Scalper signals or any of your own signals. Confirmation process may filter out a lot of signals, but your PNL History will say "thank you" to you in the long-run and you will see yourself how good confirmed signals actually do work;
Don't forget to look at MTF dashboard from time to time to see global sentiment. This will help you time your entry moments better and will improve your performance in the long run;
This indicator can serve both as primary source of signals and as confirmation tool, but we advise to try to combine it with your own strategy frst to see if it will improve your performance.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO ScalperX was designed to help traders identify high-quality price breakouts and generate market insights based on them, which include signal generation. Main feature of this indicator is Scalper algorithm, which generate price-breakout-based signals directly on your chart.
Alongside these signals you can leverage 1) MTF Dashboard to track latest trade's data from chosen asset and its four timeframes, 2) risk visualization functionality (TP&SL) to improve understanding of current market risks and 3) Support & Resistance zones, which serve as a great confirmation tool for Scalper signals, but can also work with any other signal generation tool to enhance its performance.

ReversoReverso – Moving Average Touch Statistics Tracker
Reverso indicator is a technical analysis tool that tracks and visualizes how price interacts with a selected Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It provides detailed statistics about price behavior before, during, and after each EMA touch event.
This script is suitable for both trend-following and mean-reversion traders who want to study EMA reactions, understand market tendencies, and refine entry/exit strategies based on price-memory dynamics.
Features and Functionality
Supported MAs: EMA 9, 20, or 50
Timeframe Support: Uses the chart’s timeframe
Touch Detection: Triggered when the price range (high to low) crosses or touches the EMA
Automatic Data Tracking
Tables for Quick Visual Summary
Visual Overlay: Optional EMA line plotted on chart
Timeframe Support: Uses the chart’s timeframe
Capped history: Most recent 50 touches
Automatic Data Tracking:
Number of EMA touches
Time intervals between touches
Price distance from last touch
Maximum price deviation (above/below EMA) between touches
Time spent above/below EMA
Tables for Quick Visual Summary:
Info Table: Live details about last and first touches, distance from touch, bars above/below, peak movements since last touch
Stats Table: Averages and extreme values for price behavior patterns across recent history
Core Metrics Tracked
Last Touch Price: The last price level where price touched the EMA
Distance from Last Touch: Current % change from the last touch price
Time Between Touches: Average and maximum intervals (in bars or time) between touch events
Max Distance Above/Below: Peak movement above/below EMA between touches
Bars Above/Below: How long price stayed above/below the EMA since last touch
Peak This Cycle: Max deviation above/below in current cycle since last touch
How It Works
Reverso monitors each bar to check if price intersects the selected EMA.
When a new touch occurs, it records the touch price and time, and resets the tracking cycle.
From that point forward, it tracks how far and how long price drifts above or below the EMA.
This process repeats with each new touch, building a detailed profile of how price behaves around the moving average.
The result is a visual and statistical framework for understanding price memory, market rhythm, and mean-reversion opportunities.

Momentum Pull Back Stratergy"Master Pull Back Strategy" is a highly detailed momentum and volume-based trading system designed for Trading View. It visually annotates the chart, detects buy/sell signals, tracks market phases, and evaluates retracements and confirmations. Below is a full breakdown of its logic and components:
🔷 1. Volume Profile Highlights (Arrow Emojis)
Purpose: Show volume strength vs. average using color-coded arrows.
Calculates average volume over a user-defined period (length = 10).
Divides current volume by average volume to get volRatio.
Based on volRatio, plots small arrows (acting like diamonds) in various colors:
Low volume (black, navy, blue...) to high volume (yellow, red, purple).
Visual Purpose: Give a quick sense of how "loud" or "quiet" a candle's volume is.
📈 2. Highs of Day Tracking
Purpose: Track the high price reached during different trading sessions.
Defines pre-market, regular, and post-market sessions.
Tracks the highest price (high) in each session.
Plots colored lines:
Orange: Pre-market high
Red: Regular market high
Blue: Post-market high
🟩 3. Green Candle Pattern Detection
Purpose: Detect bullish patterns formed by consecutive green candles.
Key Conditions:
Count green candles (greenCount) until a red candle appears or 10 candles max.
Require at least 1 silver-or-above volume candle (volRatio >= 1.0).
Must have ≥3% price gain during the green sequence.
Must accumulate >20,000 volume during the green run.
If Valid:
Locks the pattern.
Records important values:
patternStartPrice, patternEndPrice, totalPatternVolume, patternHigh, patternBars
Marks the bar after which red starts (redStartBar)
⬇️ 4. Retracement Monitoring
Purpose: Track retracement from the pattern high after it locks.
Defines retracement percentage:
(greenPatternHigh - low) / (greenPatternHigh - greenPatternLow)
If retracement exceeds 80%, it invalidates the pattern.
Buy signal is disabled if pattern retraces too far.
✅ 5. Buy Signal Logic
Purpose: Fire a buy signal after pattern lock if price breaks above local high.
Conditions:
Pattern is locked (patternLocked).
Price breaks above a short-term high (triggerBreak).
It's not the first red candle.
Price is within 8.5% above EMA9.
Buy signal fires and:
Sets buyActive = true
Tracks highest price after buy
Stores buyPrice = close
❌ 6. Sell Signal Logic
Purpose: Exit signal after retracement from post-buy high.
While buy is active:
If price retraces ≥3% from the post-buy high → sellSignal = true
Resets buyActive, trackedHigh, and buyPrice
Plots a red "SELL" label above the bar.
🎨 7. Buy Signal Visual Color Coding
Purpose: Color buy signal based on how deep the retracement is.
Uses retracement percentage:
≥65% → Red (high risk)
45–65% + MACD bullish → Yellow (moderate)
<45% + MACD bullish → Green (ideal)
Plots BUY label below bar in the respective color.
🔻 8. Retracement Triangle Visuals
Purpose: Shows retracement progression while pattern is locked.
If pattern is locked and not ready for buy:
Plots triangle below bar in the buyColor for visual tracking.
⭐ 9. Star Markers Above Lock Candle
Purpose: Confirmations when pattern locks.
First Star:
Plotted above the first red candle after green pattern lock.
Second Star (⭐⭐):
Additional confirmations:
Volume OK (less than previous)
MACD bullish
Price > VWAP
VolAtLock > 100K
Price up >6% from first green candle
Price below 75% of daily EMA200 or above EMA200
Third Star (⭐⭐⭐):
Even stricter confirmations:
Volume < 60% of previous
High <= previous high
VolAtLock > 500K
Price > $3
Gain >9% from first green
Price < 50% of daily EMA200 or above EMA200
📊 10. Bar Coloring
Purpose: Visually highlight bars based on pattern phase and MACD.
Gray: MACD Bearish
Light Green: Part of active green pattern
Blue: In locked phase but no buy triggered
🔄 11. Reset Logic
Purpose: Clears all tracking variables once a buy signal fires or pattern is invalidated.
Also resets if:
Retracement is too deep
10 candles pass post-lock without a trigger
⛰️ 12. Double Top Detection
Purpose: Basic visual marker when current high == previous high.
Plots a gray triangle if current and previous bar highs match.
📌 Summary: What This Strategy Shows
Buy Opportunities: Based on high-volume green runs and confirmed breakouts.
Sell Triggers: Once a retracement from peak exceeds 3%.
Visuals for Confirmation:
Diamonds for volume
Stars for lock confidence
Colors for retracement strength
Risk Management:
Retracement filtering
Time limits on locked phases
Volume filters
Market Context: Tracks pre/regular/post market highs and daily EMA 200.
