PMax - Asymmetric MultipliersDescription: This script is an enhanced version of the popular PMax (Profit Maximizer) indicator, originally developed by KivancOzbilgic. It has been converted into a full strategy with advanced customization options for backtesting and trend following.
Key Features & Modifications:
Asymmetric ATR Multipliers: Unlike the standard version, this script allows you to set different ATR multipliers for Upper (Short/Resistance) and Lower (Long/Support) bands.
Default Upper: 1.5 (Tighter trailing for Short positions)
Default Lower: 3.0 (Wider trailing for Long positions to avoid whipsaws)
Expanded MA Types: Added HULL (HMA) and VAR (Variable Index Dynamic Average) options.
VAR is highly recommended for filtering out noise in ranging markets.
HULL is ideal for scalping and faster reactions.
Built-in Risk Management: A fixed 5% Stop Loss mechanism is integrated into the strategy. It protects your capital by closing positions if the price moves 5% against you, even if the trend hasn't reversed yet.
Visibility Fix: Solved the issue where the PMax line would disappear or start at zero in the initial bars.
How to Use:
Use the VAR MA type for trend following in volatile markets.
Adjust the "Stop Loss Percent" input to fit your risk appetite.
The strategy employs an "Always In" logic (Long/Short) but respects the hard Stop Loss.

Quantum X StrategyQuantum X Strategy is a structured market-behavior based trading model developed for Midcap Nifty on the 15-minute timeframe.
It focuses on identifying directional strength, momentum alignment, and price participation using a multi-factor confirmation approach.
Rather than relying on a single indicator, the strategy evaluates multiple dimensions of price movement to determine whether the market environment is favorable for participation. This helps in avoiding random entries during low-quality or sideways conditions.
🔍 Conceptual Framework
The strategy dynamically observes:
Momentum expansion and contraction
Trend participation strength
Directional consistency over recent price action
Each market condition contributes to an internal decision process, allowing trades only when sufficient alignment is present. This approach helps filter out noise and improves trade selectivity.
📊 Trade Execution Philosophy
Trades are initiated only when market structure shows clear directional intent
Both bullish and bearish opportunities are evaluated independently
Positions are exited when momentum balance weakens or returns to a neutral state
No over-trading during indecisive phases
The system is designed to stay inactive during uncertain market conditions, which is a key part of its risk-aware behavior.
🕒 Backtesting Scope
For consistency and reliability, the strategy logic is activated only from January 2024 onward, ensuring analysis is focused on recent market behavior rather than outdated volatility patterns.
⚙️ Usage Guidelines
Instrument: MIDCAPNIFTY
Timeframe: 15 Minutes
Suitable for intraday and short-term positional observation
Works best when combined with disciplined risk management
⚠️ Disclaimer
This strategy is provided strictly for educational and research purposes.
Market conditions change, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should always forward-test and apply their own risk management before live use.

Trend Flow & Breakout Professional [Strategy]Description:
🌪️ Overview
Stop guessing. Start following the flow.
The Trend Flow & Breakout Professional is a high-precision visual trading system designed to solve the biggest problem traders face: Choppy Markets & Fakeouts.
Instead of relying on lagging indicators that generate false signals, this engine uses a proprietary "Momentum Alignment Algorithm" to identify when price action is entering a genuine expansion phase. It transforms complex trend data into a clean, easy-to-read visual roadmap, allowing you to catch the meat of the move while filtering out the noise.
🔮 Key Features
1. The "Traffic Light" Visual System Trading is 90% psychology. This script reduces mental fatigue by coloring the chart background to reflect the dominant market state:
🟢 Green Zone (Bullish Flow): Momentum is accelerating upwards. The system suggests holding long positions and ignoring minor pullbacks.
🔴 Red Zone (Bearish Flow): Structure has broken down. The system suggests defensive measures or short entries.
Note: The background remains active as long as the trend structure holds, preventing you from exiting trades too early.
2. Smart Noise Filtering Unlike standard crossover strategies that get destroyed in sideways ranges, this system includes a Multi-Layer Trend Filter. It only triggers a signal when:
Short-term momentum aligns perfectly with the medium-term direction.
Volatility expands significantly (breakout confirmation).
Price successfully clears key long-term structural resistance (The "Blue Sky" Zone).
3. Built-in "Smart Strategy" Backtester We have integrated a professional-grade position management module. You can customize how the strategy executes trades in the settings:
Mode A: Sniper (Trend Reversal): Enters heavily on the first confirmed breakout and holds until the trend reverses. Ideal for swing traders.
Mode B: Builder (Pyramiding): Adds to the position incrementally as the trend confirms its strength, maximizing profit during strong runs.
4. Cooldown Mechanism To prevent over-trading, the algorithm includes a smart "Cooldown Period" that prevents signal spamming during high-volatility consolidations.
⚙️ How to Trade This System
Wait for the Signal:
Look for the "Buy" / "Sell" labels accompanied by a bright Neon Candle.
Ensure the background color shifts (e.g., from Grey/Red to Green).
Ride the Zone:
Do not exit just because of one red candle. As long as the Background remains Green, the trend is healthy.
The background color acts as your "psychological anchor," helping you let profits run.
Exit / Reversal:
A complete background color flip (e.g., Green to Red) indicates a structural trend failure. This is your signal to close positions or flip directions.

MA Strategy: Dual Entry FilterConfigurable MA Dual-Filter Strategy
This strategy is an enhanced and highly configurable Moving Average (MA) Crossover system designed to mitigate false signals and align trades with the prevailing market trend. It is built to offer traders granular control over entry criteria, elevating it beyond basic, built-in MA crossover indicators.
Originality & Key Features
The script's originality and utility lie in the combination of its two primary, optional filtering mechanics:
Dual Entry Mode (Key Filter): Users can choose between two distinct methods for trade entry:
Crossover (Classic): Immediate entry when the price crosses the main MA.
Full Candle Confirmation (Unique Feature): This mode requires the entire candle body (open, high, low, and close) to be completely above or below the main MA after a crossover event to confirm the signal before entry. This strict confirmation helps to filter out weak crossovers, reducing whipsaws in choppy markets.
Optional Trend Filter: A second, slower MA (Trend Filter MA) can be activated. Trades are only permitted when the faster main MA is aligned with the slower Trend MA (i.e., long only if main MA > Trend MA), ensuring trades are executed with the established higher-timeframe direction.
How to Use the Strategy
The strategy logic is built on simple MA principles but utilizes Pine Script's switch function to allow users to select from six different MA types for both the main signal and the trend filter: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, and RMA.
Core Logic:
Signal: A cross of the price over the Main MA (filtered by the chosen Entry Mode).
Directional Filter: The Trend Filter must confirm the direction (if enabled).
Exit: Trades are exited on the opposite price crossover of the Main MA.
Customizable Settings Include:
Main MA Type & Length (Default: 40 EMA): The primary signal generator.
Trend Filter MA Type & Length (Default: 70 EMA): The optional, slower trend bias.
Entry Mode: Switch between Crossover or Full Candle Confirmation.
Strategy Results and High-Risk Disclaimer
The default setting for trade size is set to 40% of equity for backtesting demonstration purposes only. This high value is used to generate a large and diverse sample size of trades for historical review on the chart.
This 40% value is NOT a recommended setting for live trading. Per TradingView guidelines, traders are strongly advised to change this input to a sustainable risk level, typically 5% to 10% of equity per trade. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
OLPF - Octavio Low-Pass Filter StrategyOCTAVIO LOW-PASS FILTER (OLPF) v1.0
---
DESCRIPTION
The Octavio Low-Pass Filter (OLPF) is an advanced Finite Impulse Response (FIR) low-pass filter designed for financial time series analysis. It builds upon the foundational work of the New Low-Pass Filter (NLF) by Alex Pierrefeu, introducing three key enhancements that significantly improve signal quality and reduce common filtering artifacts.
---
KEY INNOVATIONS
1. HERMITE SMOOTHING POLYNOMIAL
Replaces the simple quadratic base (x²) with the cubic Hermite interpolation polynomial . This mathematical refinement provides C¹ continuity at kernel boundaries, ensuring smoother transitions and eliminating edge discontinuities that can introduce artificial noise into the filtered signal.
2. LANCZOS SIGMA FACTOR WINDOWING
Applies a Lanczos-type attenuation factor to each harmonic component in the sine series. This windowing technique dramatically reduces the Gibbs phenomenon - the characteristic overshooting and ringing that occurs near sharp price transitions. The result is a cleaner signal with minimized false crossover signals.
3. ADAPTIVE WEIGHT NORMALIZATION
Implements dynamic normalization of kernel weights, guaranteeing that the sum of all filter coefficients equals unity. This ensures proper amplitude preservation across all market conditions and prevents signal drift or scaling artifacts.
---
MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The OLPF kernel function is defined as:
K(x, N) = x²(3-2x) + Σ (1/i) × σ(i) × sin(πxi)
Where:
- x ∈ is the normalized position within the filter window
- N is the filter order (degree of the sine series)
- σ(i) = sin(πi/(N+1)) / (πi/(N+1)) is the Lanczos sigma factor
The filter output is computed via discrete convolution:
F(M, N) = Σ src × / W
Where W is the sum of all weights for normalization.
---
APPLICATIONS
- Trend identification with reduced lag compared to traditional MAs
- Noise reduction in volatile market conditions
- Generation of trading signals via fast/slow filter crossovers
- Foundation for more complex indicator development
---
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
This script implements a dual-filter crossover strategy with:
- Fast OLPF for responsive signal generation
- Slow OLPF for trend confirmation
- EMA filter for additional trend validation
- ATR-based dynamic stop-loss positioning
- Risk-based position sizing (percentage of equity)

12M Return Strategy This strategy is based on the original Dual Momentum concept presented by Gary Antonacci in his book “Dual Momentum Investing.”
It implements the absolute momentum portion of the framework using a 12-month rate of change, combined with a moving-average filter for trend confirmation.
The script automatically adapts the lookback period depending on chart timeframe, ensuring the return calculation always represents approximately one year, whether you are on daily, weekly, or monthly charts.
How the Strategy Works
1. 12-Month Return Calculation
The core signal is the 12-month price return, computed as:
(Current Price ÷ Price from ~1 year ago) − 1
This return:
Plots as a histogram
Turns green when positive
Turns red when negative
The lookback adjusts automatically:
1D chart → 252 bars
1W chart → 52 bars
1M chart → 12 bars
Other timeframes → estimated to approximate 1 calendar year
2. Trend Filter (Moving Average of Return)
To smooth volatility and avoid noise, the strategy applies a moving average to the 12M return:
Default length: 12 periods
Plotted as a white line on the indicator panel
This becomes the benchmark used for crossovers.
3. Trade Signals (Long / Short / Cash)
Trades are generated using a simple crossover mechanism:
Bullish Signal (Go Long)
When:
12M Return crosses ABOVE its MA
Action:
Close short (if any)
Enter long
Bearish Signal (Go Short or Go Flat)
When:
12M Return crosses BELOW its MA
Action:
If shorting is enabled → Enter short
If shorting is disabled → Exit position and go to cash
Shorting can be enabled or disabled with a single input switch.
4. Position Sizing
The strategy uses:
Percent of Equity position sizing
You can specify the percentage of your portfolio to allocate (default 100%).
No leverage is required, but the strategy supports it if your account settings allow.
5. Visual Signals
To improve clarity, the strategy marks signals directly on the indicator panel:
Green Up Arrows: return > MA
Red Down Arrows: return < MA
A status label shows the current mode:
LONG
SHORT
CASH
6. Backtest-Ready
This script is built as a full TradingView strategy, not just an indicator.
This means you can:
Run complete backtests
View performance metrics
Compare long-only vs long/short behavior
Adjust inputs to tune the system
It provides a clean, rule-driven interpretation of the classic absolute momentum approach.
Inspired By: Gary Antonacci – Dual Momentum Investing
This script reflects the absolute momentum side of Antonacci’s original research:
Uses 12-month momentum (the most statistically validated lookback)
Applies a trend-following overlay to control downside risk
Recreates the classic signal structure used in academic studies
It is a simplified, transparent version intended for practical use and educational clarity.

Session Opening Range Breakout (ORBO)This strategy automates a classic Opening Range Breakout (ORBO) approach: it builds a price range for the first minutes after the market opens, then looks for strong breakouts above or below that range to catch early directional moves.
Concept
The idea behind ORBO is simple:
The first minutes after the session open are often highly informative.
Price forms an “opening range” that acts as a mini support/resistance zone.
A clean breakout beyond this zone can lead to high-momentum moves.
This script turns that logic into a fully backtestable strategy in TradingView.
How the strategy works
Opening Range Session
Default session: 09:30–09:50 (exchange time)
During this window, the script tracks:
orHigh → highest high within the session
orLow → lowest low within the session
This forms your Opening Range for the day.
Breakout Logic (after the window ends)
Once the defined session ends:
Long Entry:
If the close crosses above the Opening Range High (orHigh),
→ strategy.entry("OR Long", strategy.long) is triggered.
Short Entry:
If the close crosses below the Opening Range Low (orLow),
→ strategy.entry("OR Short", strategy.short) is triggered.
Only one opening range per day is considered, which keeps the logic clean and easy to interpret.
Daily Reset
At the start of a new trading day, the script resets:
orHigh := na
orLow := na
A fresh Opening Range is then built using the next session’s 09:30–09:50 candles.
This ensures entries are always based on today’s structure, not yesterday’s.
Visuals & Inputs
Inputs:
Opening range session → default: "0930-0950"
Show OR levels → toggle visibility of OR High / Low lines
Fill range body → optional shaded zone between OR High and OR Low
Chart visuals:
A green line marks the Opening Range High.
A red line marks the Opening Range Low.
Optional yellow fill highlights the entire OR zone.
Background shading during the session shows when the range is currently being built.
These visuals make it easy to see:
Where the OR sits relative to current price
How clean / noisy the breakout was
How often price respects or rejects the opening zone
Backtesting & Optimization
Because this is written as a strategy():
You can use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to view:

Ideas to experiment with:
Change the session window (e.g., 09:15–09:45, 10:00–10:30)
Apply to different:
Markets: indices, FX, crypto, stocks
Timeframes: 1m / 5m / 15m
Add your own:
Stop Loss & Take Profit levels
Time filters (only trade certain days / times)
Volatility filters (e.g., ATR, range size thresholds)
Higher-timeframe trend filter (e.g., only take longs above 200 EMA)
Double MOST with Pivot and EMAMOST Long Strategy with Multi-Filter Confirmation (Pivot + VAR Trend Filter)
This strategy combines a custom MOST stop-line structure with a moving average trend filter (EMA / VAR / ZLMA), daily pivot levels, and a 9-period VAR filter to generate clean long-only entries.
It aims to capture early trend continuations while avoiding reversals and false breakouts.
✔ Buy Conditions
A long position is opened only if all of the conditions below occur simultaneously:
MA (ort) > MOST Line (s2)
– Confirms that momentum is on the long side.
Price > Daily Pivot (pvt_gun)
– Ensures the market is trading above the day’s fair-value level.
Price > VAR(9)
– Short-term VAR filter to confirm trend strength and reduce noise.
Only the first bar where all conditions turn true generates a position.
✔ Sell Condition
A long position is closed when:
MOST Line (s2) crosses above MA (ort)
– Indicates a momentum shift against the long position.
✔ Execution Style (MetaStock-like)
Strategy operates long-only
Orders are filled on the next bar open, not on the signal bar
Commission: 0.03% (3 bps / on-binde 3)
Position size: 100% of equity per trade
This makes the behavior comparable to classical MetaStock backtesting logic.
✔ Chart Markers
Only actual trade entries and exits are drawn
No repeated signals or overlapping markers
Clean visual trade history
Purpose
This strategy is ideal for traders who want:
A structured long-only trend model
A multi-layer confirmation filter
Clean execution without repaint
High-quality entries above market structure levels

Stratégie SMC V18.2 (BTC/EUR FINAL R3 - Tendance)This strategy is an automated implementation of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), designed to operate on the Bitcoin/Euro (BTC/EUR) chart using the 15-minute Timeframe (M15).It focuses on identifying high-probability zones (Order Blocks) after a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS) and a Liquidity Sweep, utilizing an H1/EMA 200 trend filter to only execute trades in the direction of the dominant market flow.Risk management is strict: every trade uses a fixed Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R) of 1:3.🧱 Core Logic Components
1. Trend Filter (H1/EMA 200)Objective: To avoid counter-trend entries, which has allowed the success rate to increase to nearly $65\%$ in backtests.Mechanism: A $200$-period EMA is plotted on a higher timeframe (Default: H1/60 minutes).Long (Buy): Entry is only permitted if the current price (M15) is above the trend EMA.Short (Sell): Entry is only permitted if the current price (M15) is below the trend EMA.
2. Order Block (OB) DetectionA potential Order Block is identified on the previous candle if it is
accompanied by an inefficiency (FVG - Fair Value Gap).
3. Advanced SMC ValidationBOS (Break of Structure): A recent BOS must be confirmed by breaking the swing high/low defined by the swing length (Default: 4 M15 candles).Liquidity (Liquidity Sweep): The Order Block zone must have swept recent liquidity (defined by the Liquidity Search Length) within a certain tolerance (Default: $0.1\%$).Point of Interest: The OB must form in a premium zone (for shorts) or a discount zone (for longs) relative to the current swing range (above or below the $50\%$ level of the range).
4. Execution and Risk ManagementEntry: The trade is triggered when the price touches the active Order Block (mitigation).Stop Loss (SL): The SL is fixed at the low of the OB (for longs) or the high of the OB (for shorts).Take Profit (TP): The TP is strictly set at a level corresponding to 3 times the SL distance (R:R 1:3).Lot Sizing: The trade quantity is calculated to risk a fixed amount (Default: 2.00 Euros) per transaction, capped by a Lot Max and Lot Min defined by the user.

Safe Supertrend Strategy (No Repaint)Overview
The Safe Supertrend is a repaint-free version of the popular Supertrend trend-following indicator.
Most Supertrend indicators appear perfect on historical charts because they flip intrabar and then repaint after the candle closes.
This version fixes that by using close-of-bar confirmation only, making every trend flip 100% stable, safe, and non-repainting.
Why This Supertrend Doesn’t Repaint
Most Supertrend indicators calculate their trend direction using the current bar’s data.
But during a live candle:
ATR expands and contracts
The upper/lower bands move
Price moves above/below the band temporarily
A false flip appears → then disappears when the candle closes
That is classic repainting.
This indicator avoids all of that by using:
close > upper
close < lower
This means:
Trend direction flips only based on the previous candle,
No intrabar calculations,
No flickering signals,
No “perfect but fake” historical performance.
Every signal you see on the chart is exactly what was available in real-time.
How It Works
Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and SMA centerline
Builds upper and lower volatility bands
Confirms trend flips only after the previous bar closes
Plots clear bull and bear reversal signals
Works on all markets (crypto, stocks, forex, indices)
No repainting, no recalc, no misleading flips.
Bullish Signal (Trend Up)
A bullish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes above the upper ATR band,
And this flip is fully confirmed.
A green triangle marks the start of a new uptrend.
Bearish Signal (Trend Down)
A bearish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes below the lower ATR band,
And the downtrend is confirmed.
A red triangle signals the start of a new downtrend.
Inputs
ATR Length - default 10
ATR Multiplier - default 3.0
Works on all timeframes and market
Simple, but powerful.
Why Use This Version Instead of a Regular Supertrend?
Most Supertrends:
Look great historically
But repaint continuously on live charts
Give false trend flips intrabar
Cannot be reliably used in strategies
This version:
Uses strict previous-bar logic
Never repaints trend direction
Works perfectly in live trading
Backtests accurately
Is ideal for algorithmic strategies
Ideal For:
Trend-following strategies
Breakout trading
Algo trading systems
Reversal detection
Filtering market noise
Swing trading & scalping
Final Note
This is a safer, more reliable Supertrend designed for real-world use — not perfect-looking repaint illusions.
If you use Supertrend in your trading system, this no-repaint version ensures your signals are trustworthy and consistent.
Mirror Blocks: StrategyMirror Blocks is an educational structural-wave model built around a unique concept:
the interaction of mirrored weighted moving averages (“blocks”) that reflect shifts in market structure as price transitions between layered symmetry zones.
Rather than attempting to “predict” markets, the Mirror Blocks framework visualizes how price behaves when it expands away from, contracts toward, or flips across stacked WMA structures. These mirrored layers form a wave-like block system that highlights transitional zones in a clean, mechanical way.
This strategy version allows you to study how these structural transitions behave in different environments and on different timeframes.
The goal is understanding wave structure, not generating signals.
How It Works
Mirror Blocks builds three mirrored layers:
Top Block (Structural High Symmetry)
Base Block (Neutral Wave)
Bottom Block (Structural Low Symmetry)
The relative position of these blocks — and how price interacts with them — helps visualize:
Compression and expansion
Reversal zones
Wave stability
Momentum transitions
Structure flips
A structure is considered bullish-stack aligned when:
Top > Base > Bottom
and bearish-stack aligned when:
Bottom > Base > Top
These formations create the core of the Mirror Blocks wave engine.
What the Strategy Version Adds
This version includes:
Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short modes
Adjustable symmetry distance (Mirror Distance)
Configurable WMA smoothing length
Optional trend filter using fast/slow MA comparison
ENTER / EXIT / LONG / SHORT labels for structural transitions
Fixed stop-loss controls for research
A clean, transparent structure with no hidden components
It is optimized for educational chart study, not automated signals.
Intended Purpose
Mirror Blocks is meant to help traders:
Study structural transitions
Understand symmetry-based wave models
Explore how price interacts with mirrored layers
Examine reversals and expansions from a mechanical perspective
Conduct long and short backtesting for research
Develop a deeper sense of market rhythm
This is not a prediction model.
It is a visual and structural framework for understanding movement.
Backtesting Disclaimer
Backtest results can vary depending on:
Slippage settings
Commission settings
Timeframe
Asset volatility
Structural sensitivity parameters
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Hash Momentum Strategy# Hash Momentum Strategy
## 📊 Overview
The **Hash Momentum Strategy** is a professional-grade momentum trading system designed to capture strong directional price movements with precision timing and intelligent risk management. Unlike traditional EMA crossover strategies, this system uses momentum acceleration as its primary signal, resulting in earlier entries and better risk-to-reward ratios.
---
## ⚡ What Makes This Strategy Unique
### 1. Momentum-Based Entry System
Most strategies rely on lagging indicators like moving average crossovers. This strategy captures momentum *acceleration* - entering when price movement is gaining strength, not after the move has already happened.
### 2. Programmable Risk-to-Reward
Set your exact R:R ratio (1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, etc.) and the strategy automatically calculates stop loss and take profit levels. No more guessing or manual calculations.
### 3. Smart Partial Profit Taking
Lock in profits at multiple stages:
- **First TP**: Take 50% off at 2R
- **Second TP**: Take 40% off at 2.5R
- **Final TP**: Let 10% ride to maximum target
This approach locks in gains while letting winners run.
### 4. Dynamic Momentum Threshold
Uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your threshold setting to adapt to market volatility. Volatile markets = higher threshold. Quiet markets = lower threshold.
### 5. Trade Cooldown System
Prevents overtrading and revenge trading by enforcing a cooldown period between trades. Configurable from 1-24 bars.
### 6. Optional Session & Weekend Filters
Filter trades by Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. Optional weekend-off toggle to avoid low-liquidity periods.
---
## 🎯 How It Works
### Signal Generation
**STEP 1: Calculate Momentum**
- Momentum = Current Price - Price
- Check if Momentum > ATR × Threshold Multiplier
- Momentum must be accelerating (positive change in momentum)
**STEP 2: Confirm with EMA Trend Filter**
- Long: Price must be above EMA
- Short: Price must be below EMA
**STEP 3: Check Filters**
- Not in cooldown period
- Valid session (if enabled)
- Not weekend (if enabled)
**STEP 4: ENTRY SIGNAL TRIGGERED**
### Risk Management Example
**Example Long Trade:**
- Entry: $100
- Stop Loss: $97.80 (2.2% risk)
- Risk Amount: $2.20
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: $104.40 (2R = $4.40) → Close 50%
- TP2: $105.50 (2.5R = $5.50) → Close 40%
- Final: $105.50 (2.5R) → Close remaining 10%

## 🎓 Strategy Logic Explained
### Why Momentum > EMA Crossover?
**EMA Crossover Problems:**
- Signals lag behind price
- Late entries = poor R:R
- Many false signals in ranging markets
**Momentum Advantages:**
- Catches moves as they start accelerating
- Earlier entries = better R:R
- Adapts to volatility via ATR
### Why Partial Profit Taking?
**Without Partial TPs:**
- All-or-nothing approach
- Winners often turn to losers
- High stress watching open positions
**With Partial TPs:**
- Lock in 50% at first target
- Reduce risk to breakeven
- Let remainder ride for bigger gains
- Lower psychological pressure
### Why Trade Cooldown?
**Without Cooldown:**
- Revenge trading after losses
- Overtrading in choppy markets
- Emotional decision-making
**With Cooldown:**
- Forces discipline
- Waits for new setup to develop
- Reduces transaction costs
- Better signal quality

## ⚠️ Important Notes
1. **This is a momentum strategy, not an EMA strategy**
The EMA only confirms trend direction. Momentum generates the actual signals.
2. **Backtest thoroughly before live trading**
Past performance ≠ future results. Test on your specific asset and timeframe.
3. **Use proper position sizing**
Risk 1-2% of account per trade maximum. The strategy uses 100% equity by default (adjust in Properties).
4. **Dashboard auto-hides in real-time**
Clean chart for live trading. Visible during backtesting.
5. **Customize for your trading style**
All settings are fully adjustable. No single "best" configuration.
---
## 🚀 Quick Start Guide
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply to your preferred asset and timeframe
2. **Keep Defaults**: Start with default settings
3. **Backtest**: Review historical performance
4. **Paper Trade**: Test with simulated money first
5. **Go Live**: Start small and scale up
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
**Tip 1: Combine Timeframes**
Use higher timeframe (4H) for trend direction, lower timeframe (1H) for entries.
**Tip 2: Avoid News Events**
Major news can cause whipsaws. Consider manual intervention during high-impact events.
**Tip 3: Monitor Momentum Strength**
Dashboard shows momentum in sigma (σ). Values >1.0σ indicate very strong momentum.
**Tip 4: Adjust for Volatility**
In high-volatility markets, increase threshold and stop loss. In quiet markets, decrease them.
**Tip 5: Review Losing Trades**
Check if losses are hitting stop loss or reversing. Adjust stop accordingly.

**Happy Trading! 🚀📈**
Rasta Long/Short — StrategyThe Rasta Long/Short Strategy is a visual and educational framework designed to help traders study momentum shifts that appear when a fast EMA interacts with a slower smoothed baseline.
It is not a signal service. Instead, it is a research tool that helps you observe transitions, structure, and behavior across different market conditions and smoothing contexts.
The script plots:
A primary EMA line (fast reaction wave).
A Smoothed line (your chosen smoothing method).
Color-coded fog regions showing directional bias.
Optional DNA rung connections between the two lines for structural comparison.
Together, these allow a deeper study of how momentum pushes, volatility compression, expansions, and drift emerge around fast/slow EMA interactions.
✦ Core Idea
The Rasta Long/Short mechanism studies how price behaves when the fast EMA crosses above or below a smoothed anchor.
Rather than predicting price, it reveals where transitions occur across different structures, timeframes, and smoothing techniques.
The Long/Short logic simply highlights flips in directional structure.
It is not intended for real-time signals or automated execution; it is intended for understanding market movement.
✦ Smoothing Types (Explained)
The strategy allows experimenting with several smoothing families to observe how they transform the fast EMA:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
Averaged, slower response. Good for stability comparisons.
EMA (Exponential)
Faster reaction, more responsive, smoother behavior during momentum.
RMA (Wilder’s)
Used in RSI calculations; steady, well-balanced response.
WMA (Weighted)
More weight to recent bars; bridges SMA and EMA dynamics.
None
Raw EMA vs EMA interaction with no secondary smoothing.
Each smoothing type provides unique structural information and can lead to different interpretations.
✦ Modes of Study
Designed for multi-timeframe research:
1H / 4H — Momentum flow mapping and structural identification.
Daily / Weekly — Higher-timeframe rotations, macro structure transitions.
1–15m — Microstructure studies, noise vs trend emergence.
Use the built-in Strategy Tester to explore entry/exit context, but treat results as research, not predictive performance.
✦ Components (Visual Study Tools)
EMA Line (Fast)
Primary reactive wave. Shows fast directional shifts.
Smoothed Line (Slow)
Trend baseline / reference structure.
Fog Region
Highlights fast-vs-smoothed directional alignment.
DNA Rungs (Optional)
Structural “bridges” showing the exact relationship between waves on each bar.
Useful for studying separation, compression, and expansions.
✦ Educational Insights
This strategy helps illuminate:
How fast and slow EMAs interact dynamically.
How structure changes precede trend emergence.
Where volatility compresses before expansion.
How noise, drift, and clean reversals differ.
How different smoothers alter the interpretation of the same price data.
The goal is clarity — not prediction.
✦ How to Use
Apply to any timeframe or instrument.
Enable or disable fog depending on preferred visibility.
Use DNA rungs for close structural comparison.
Observe long/short flips as educational reference points — not signals.
Study transitions visually, then backtest using the Strategy Tester for pattern research.

EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI (BTC/USDT 15m - 2 Bar Logic)I recognize that combining indicators requires clear justification on how the components interact Therefore the new scripts description will explicitly detail the strategys operational logic
Objective The strategy is a Trend Following Pullback System designed for high frequency time frames 15m
Synergy The EMA50 EMA200 defines the primary Trend Direction Trend Filter It then utilizes a 2 Bar Pullback Logic to find an entry point where the price has momentarily reversed against the trendline and the RSI 14 serves as a Momentum Filter RSI greater than 50 for Long RSI less than 50 for Short to minimize false signals
Golden Cross 50/200 EMATrend-following systems are characterized by having a low win rate, yet in the right circumstances (trending markets and higher timeframes) they can deliver returns that even surpass those of systems with a high win rate.
Below, I show you a simple bullish trend-following system with clear execution rules:
System Rules
-Long entries when the 50-period EMA crosses above the 200-period EMA.
-Stop Loss (SL) placed at the lowest low of the 15 candles prior to the entry candle.
-Take Profit (TP) triggered when the 50-period EMA crosses below the 200-period EMA.
Risk Management
-Initial capital: $10,000
-Position size: 10% of capital per trade
-Commissions: 0.1% per trade
Important Note:
In the code, the stop loss is defined using the swing low (15 candles), but the position size is not adjusted based on the distance to the stop loss. In other words, 10% of the equity is risked on each trade, but the actual loss on the trade is not controlled by a maximum fixed percentage of the account — it depends entirely on the stop loss level. This means the loss on a single trade could be significantly higher or lower than 10% of the account equity, depending on volatility.
Implementing leverage or reducing position size based on volatility is something I haven’t been able to include in the code, but it would dramatically improve the system’s performance. It would fix a consistent percentage loss per trade, preventing losses from fluctuating wildly with changes in volatility.
For example, we can maintain a fixed loss percentage when volatility is low by using the following formula:
Leverage = % of SL you’re willing to risk / % volatility from entry point to stop loss
And when volatility is high and would exceed the fixed percentage we want to expose per trade (if the SL is hit), we could reduce the position size accordingly.
Practical example:
Imagine we only want to risk 15% of the position value if the stop loss is triggered on Tesla (which has high volatility), but the distance to the SL represents a potential 23.57% drop. In this case, we subtract the desired risk (15%) from the actual volatility-based loss (23.57%):
23.57% − 15% = 8.57%
Now suppose we normally use $200 per trade.
To calculate 8.57% of $200:
200 × (8.57 / 100) = $17.14
Then subtract that amount from the original position size:
$200 − $17.14 = $182.86
In summary:
If we reduce the position size to $182.86 (instead of the usual $200), even if Tesla moves 23.57% against us and hits the stop loss, we would still only lose approximately 15% of the original $200 position — exactly the risk level we defined. This way, we strictly respect our risk management rules regardless of volatility swings.
I hope this clearly explains the importance of capping losses at a fixed percentage per trade. This keeps risk under control while maintaining a consistent percentage of capital invested per trade — preventing both statistical distortion of the system and the potential destruction of the account.
About the code:
Strategy declaration:
The strategy is named 'Golden Cross 50/200 EMA'.
overlay=true means it will be drawn directly on the price chart.
initial_capital=10000 sets the initial capital to $10,000.
default_qty_type=strategy.percent_of_equity and default_qty_value=10 means each trade uses 10% of available equity.
margin_long=0 indicates no margin is used for long positions (this is likely for simulation purposes only; in real trading, margin would be required).
commission_type=strategy.commission.percent and commission_value=0.1 sets a 0.1% commission per trade.
Indicators:
Calculates two EMAs: a 50-period EMA (ema50) and a 200-period EMA (ema200).
Crossover detection:
bullCross is triggered when the 50-period EMA crosses above the 200-period EMA (Golden Cross).
bearCross is triggered when the 50-period EMA crosses below the 200-period EMA (Death Cross).
Recent swing:
swingLow calculates the lowest low of the previous 15 periods.
Stop Loss:
entryStopLoss is a variable initialized as na (not available) and is updated to the current swingLow value whenever a bullCross occurs.
Entry and exit conditions:
Entry: When a bullCross occurs, the initial stop loss is set to the current swingLow and a long position is opened.
Exit on opposite signal: When a bearCross occurs, the long position is closed.
Exit on stop loss: If the price falls below entryStopLoss while a position is open, the position is closed.
Visualization:
Both EMAs are plotted (50-period in blue, 200-period in red).
Green triangles are plotted below the bar on a bullCross, and red triangles above the bar on a bearCross.
A horizontal orange line is drawn that shows the stop loss level whenever a position is open.
Alerts:
Alerts are created for:Long entry
Exit on bearish crossover (Death Cross)
Exit triggered by stop loss

Bitcoin & Ethereum Profitable Crypto Investor – FREE EditionBitcoin & Ethereum Profitable Crypto Investor – FREE Edition
by RustyTradingScripts
This is the free, simplified edition of my long-term crypto trend-following strategy designed for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major assets. It provides an accessible introduction to the core concepts behind the full version while remaining easy to use, transparent, and beginner-friendly.
This FREE edition focuses on a single technical component: a 102-period Simple Moving Average trend model. When price moves above the SMA, the script considers it a potential long trend environment. When the slope begins to turn down, the strategy exits the position. This creates a straightforward, rules-based framework for identifying trend shifts without emotional or discretionary decision-making.
The goal of this simplified version is to help users understand how a structured trend approach behaves during different market conditions. It demonstrates how using a slow, objective indicator can reduce noise and provide clearer long-term directional context on higher timeframes such as the 10-hour BTC chart shown in the backtest example.
What This FREE Version Includes
- Trend-based entries using a 102-period SMA
- Automatic exits when the SMA slope turns down
- Clean visual plot of the moving average
- No repainting — signals are based on confirmed bar data
- Works on BTC, ETH, and other major crypto assets
- User-adjustable SMA length for customization
What’s Not Included in This Version:
This edition intentionally focuses on the essential trend logic only.
It does NOT include the following components found in the full investor strategy:
- Linear regression smoothing
- Seasonal filters
- Price-extension filtering
- Volume-based protection
- Partial stop-loss and partial take-profit systems
- Cooldown logic after profitable trades
- RSI-based extended exits
- Multi-layered trade management modules
The purpose of this free version is to provide a clear, functional introduction to the underlying trend concept without the advanced filters and risk-management features that are part of the complete system.
How to Use It
Apply the script to your preferred asset and timeframe (commonly higher timeframes such as 4H, 8H, 10H, 12H, or 1D). The script will enter long positions when the market is trading above the SMA and exit when the slope of the average begins to point downward. Users may adjust the SMA length to match their preferred level of responsiveness.
Important Notes
This script is for educational and analytical purposes.
Historical results are not guarantees of future performance.
Always practice proper risk management and perform your own testing.
This script does not repaint.
This FREE version is meant as a helpful starting point for those exploring long-term crypto trend strategies. If you find it useful and wish to explore more advanced tools, feel free to reach out for additional information.
SP500 Session Gap Fade StrategySummary in one paragraph
SPX Session Gap Fade is an intraday gap fade strategy for index futures, designed around regular cash sessions on five minute charts. It helps you participate only when there is a full overnight or pre session gap and a valid intraday session window, instead of trading every open. The original part is the gap distance engine which anchors both stop and optional target to the previous session reference close at a configurable flat time, so every trade’s risk scales with the actual gap size rather than a fixed tick stop.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Primarily index futures such as ES, NQ, YM, and liquid index CFDs that exhibit overnight gaps and regular cash hours.
• Timeframes. Intraday timeframes from one minute to fifteen minutes. Default usage is five minute bars.
• Default demo used in the publication. Symbol CME:ES1! on a five minute chart.
• Purpose. Provide a simple, transparent way to trade opening gaps with a session anchored risk model and forced flat exit so you are not holding into the last part of the session.
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only.
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. The core novelty is the combination of a strict “full gap” entry condition with a session anchored reference close and a gap distance based TP and SL engine. The stop and optional target are symmetric multiples of the actual gap distance from the previous session’s flat close, rather than fixed ticks.
• Failure mode it addresses. Fixed sized stops do not scale when gaps are unusually small or unusually large, which can either under risk or over risk the account. The session flat logic also reduces the chance of holding residual positions into late session liquidity and news.
• Testability. All key pieces are explicit in the Inputs: session window, minutes before session end, whether to use gap exits, whether TP or SL are active, and whether to allow candle based closes and forced flat. You can toggle each component and see how it changes entries and exits.
• Portable yardstick. The main unit is the absolute price gap between the entry bar open and the previous session reference close. tp_mult and sl_mult are multiples of that gap, which makes the risk model portable across contracts and volatility regimes.
Method overview in plain language
The strategy first defines a trading session using exchange time, for example 08:30 to 15:30 for ES day hours. It also defines a “flat” time a fixed number of minutes before session end. At the flat bar, any open position is closed and the bar’s close price is stored as the reference close for the next session. Inside the session, the strategy looks for a full gap bar relative to the prior bar: a gap down where today’s high is below yesterday’s low, or a gap up where today’s low is above yesterday’s high. A full gap down generates a long entry; a full gap up generates a short entry. If the gap risk engine is enabled and a valid reference close exists, the strategy measures the distance between the entry bar open and that reference close. It then sets a stop and optional target as configurable multiples of that gap distance and manages them with strategy.exit. Additional exits can be triggered by a candle color flip or by the forced flat time.
Base measures
• Range basis. The main unit is the absolute difference between the current entry bar open and the stored reference close from the previous session flat bar. That value is used as a “gap unit” and scaled by tp_mult and sl_mult to build the target and stop.
Components
• Component one: Gap Direction. Detects full gap up or full gap down by comparing the current high and low to the previous bar’s high and low. Gap down signals a long fade, gap up signals a short fade. There is no smoothing; it is a strict structural condition.
• Component two: Session Window. Only allows entries when the current time is within the configured session window. It also defines a flat time before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is updated.
• Component three: Gap Distance Risk Engine. Computes the absolute distance between the entry open and the stored reference close. The stop and optional target are placed as entry ± gap_distance × multiplier so that risk scales with gap size.
• Optional component: Candle Exit. If enabled, a bullish bar closes short positions and a bearish bar closes long positions, which can shorten holding time when price reverses quickly inside the session.
• Session windows. Session logic uses the exchange time of the chart symbol. When changing symbols or venues, verify that the session time string still matches the new instrument’s cash hours.
Fusion rule
All gates are hard conditions rather than weighted scores. A trade can only open if the session window is active and the full gap condition is true. The gap distance engine only activates if a valid reference close exists and use_gap_risk is on. TP and SL are controlled by separate booleans so you can use SL only, TP only, or both. Long and short are symmetric by construction: long trades fade full gap downs, short trades fade full gap ups with mirrored TP and SL logic.
Signal rule
• Long entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap down relative to the previous bar (current high below prior low), the strategy opens a long position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop below the entry and an optional target above it.
• Short entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap up relative to the previous bar (current low above prior high), the strategy opens a short position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop above the entry and an optional target below it.
• Forced flat. At the configured flat time before session end, any open position is closed and the close price of that bar becomes the new reference close for the following session.
• Candle based exit. If enabled, a bearish bar closes longs, and a bullish bar closes shorts, regardless of where TP or SL sit, as long as a position is open.
What you will see on the chart
• Markers on entry bars. Standard strategy entry markers labeled “long” and “short” on the gap bars where trades open.
• Exit markers. Standard exit markers on bars where either the gap stop or target are hit, or where a candle exit or forced flat close occurs. Exit IDs “long_gap” and “short_gap” label gap based exits.
• Reference levels. Horizontal lines for the current long TP, long SL, short TP, and short SL while a position is open and the gap engine is enabled. They update when a new trade opens and disappear when flat.
• Session background. This version does not add background shading for the session; session logic runs internally based on time.
• No on chart table. All decisions are visible through orders and exit levels. Use the Strategy Tester for performance metrics.
Inputs with guidance
Session Settings
• Trading session (sess). Session window in exchange time. Typical value uses the regular cash session for each contract, for example “0830-1530” for ES. Adjust if your broker or symbol uses different hours.
• Minutes before session end to force exit (flat_before_min). Minutes before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is stored. Typical range is 15 to 120. Raising it closes trades earlier in the day; lowering it allows trades later in the session.
Gap Risk
• Enable gap based TP/SL (use_gap_risk). Master switch for the gap distance exit engine. Turning it off keeps entries and forced flat logic but removes automatic TP and SL placement.
• Use TP limit from gap (use_gap_tp). Enables gap based profit targets. Typical values are true for structured exits or false if you want to manage exits manually and only keep a stop.
• Use SL stop from gap (use_gap_sl). Enables gap based stop losses. This should normally remain true so that each trade has a defined initial risk in ticks.
• TP multiplier of gap distance (tp_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the target. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it places the target further away and reduces hit frequency.
• SL multiplier of gap distance (sl_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the stop. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it widens the stop and increases risk per trade; lowering it tightens the stop and may increase the number of small losses.
Exit Controls
• Exit with candle logic (use_candle_exit). If true, closes shorts on bullish candles and longs on bearish candles. Useful when you want to react to intraday reversal bars even if TP or SL have not been reached.
• Force flat before session end (use_forced_flat). If true, guarantees you are flat by the configured flat time and updates the reference close. Turn this off only if you understand the impact on overnight risk.
Filters
There is no separate trend or volatility filter in this version. All trades depend on the presence of a full gap bar inside the session. If you need extra filtering such as ATR, volume, or higher timeframe bias, they should be added explicitly and documented in your own fork.
Usage recipes
Intraday conservative gap fade
• Timeframe. Five minute chart on ES regular session.
• Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = true, use_gap_sl = true.
• Multipliers. tp_mult around 0.7 to 1.0 and sl_mult around 1.0.
• Exits. use_candle_exit = false, use_forced_flat = true. Focus on the structured TP and SL around the gap.
Intraday aggressive gap fade
• Timeframe. Five minute chart.
• Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = false, use_gap_sl = true.
• Multipliers. sl_mult around 0.7 to 1.0.
• Exits. use_candle_exit = true, use_forced_flat = true. Entries fade full gaps, stops are tight, and candle color flips flatten trades early.
Higher timeframe gap tests
• Timeframe. Fifteen minute or sixty minute charts on instruments with regular gaps.
• Gap risk. Keep use_gap_risk = true. Consider slightly higher sl_mult if gaps are structurally wider on the higher timeframe.
• Note. Expect fewer trades and be careful with sample size; multi year data is recommended.
Properties visible in this publication
• On average our risk for each position over the last 200 trades is 0.4% with a max intraday loss of 1.5% of the total equity in this case of 100k $ with 1 contract ES. For other assets, recalculations and customizations has to be applied.
• Initial capital. 100 000.
• Base currency. USD.
• Default order size method. Fixed with size 1 contract.
• Pyramiding. 0.
• Commission. Flat 2 USD per order in the Strategy Tester Properties. (2$ buying + 2$selling)
• Slippage. One tick in the Strategy Tester Properties.
• Process orders on close. ON.
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims are made. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
• Costs use a realistic flat commission and one tick of slippage per trade for ES class futures.
• Default sizing with one contract on a 100 000 reference account targets modest per trade risk. In practice, extreme slippage or gap through events can exceed this, so treat the one and a half percent risk target as a design goal, not a guarantee.
• All orders are simulated on standard candles. Shapes can move while a bar is forming and settle on bar close.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases, thin liquidity, and limit conditions can break the assumptions behind the simple gap model and lead to slippage or skipped fills.
• Symbols with very frequent or very large gaps may require adjusted multipliers or alternative risk handling, especially in high volatility regimes.
• Very quiet periods without clean gaps will produce few or no trades. This is expected behavior, not a bug.
• Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. Always confirm that the configured session matches the symbol.
• When both the stop and target lie inside the same bar’s range, the TradingView engine decides which is hit first based on its internal intrabar assumptions. Without bar magnifier, tie handling is approximate.

🔄 Trade Smarter, Not Harder: Let the Cluster Decide
Welcome to the "Super Frog Power - Cluster Flip %" strategy, a sophisticated multi-system confluence engine designed to filter out market noise and pinpoint high-probability trade setups. This isn't just another indicator; it's a comprehensive trading system that aggregates signals from eight distinct technical methodologies, waiting for them to align into a powerful "cluster" before you enter a trade.
🎯 Core Philosophy: The Power of Confluence
A single indicator can give false signals. A cluster of indicators from uncorrelated systems agreeing on a direction is a much stronger signal. This strategy continuously monitors multiple independent systems and only executes a trade when a significant number of them flip to a consensus, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a successful move.
✨ The 8 Systems of Super Frog Power
This strategy synthesizes signals from the following powerful components:
Bollinger Bands®: Identifies overbought and oversold conditions relative to recent volatility.
CMI (Cluster Momentum Index) System: A unique multi-period momentum oscillator that identifies convergence and breakout moments with custom "Lion" (SELL) and "Car" (BUY) signals.
SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index) System: A refined momentum indicator that generates "Mouse" (BUY) signals and combines with CMI for "Green Angel" and "Red Devil" super signals.
Lucky Balls (NVI/PVI): Utilizes Negative and Positive Volume Index to gauge smart money flow and identify accumulation/distribution zones.
Momentum System: A triple-threat combo of RSI, CCI, and PPO, scaled and combined to generate robust momentum-based entries and exits.
Lucky Table (Oscillator Overload): Counts the number of key oscillators (SMI, RSI, CCI) in overbought or oversold territory, triggering a signal when a threshold is met.
Apples & Pairs System: A complex system analyzing price swings, accumulation, mass index, and doji patterns with fun, emoji-based signals like "Apple Cross Up" 🍎 and "Pig Cross Down" 🐖.
ZBT (Zonal Breakout Trend) System: A multi-timeframe trend-following system using dynamic EMA channels and an ATR-based trailing stop to identify the primary trend and robust breakout points.
⚙️ How It Works: The Cluster Flip Logic
The magic happens in the signal aggregation. The strategy counts every single BUY and SELL signal from all active systems.
A "Strong Buy" is triggered when 6 or more independent BUY signals occur simultaneously.
A "Strong Sell" is triggered when 5 or more independent SELL signals occur simultaneously.
This "cluster flip" mechanism ensures you are only trading when there is broad-based technical agreement, keeping you out of choppy and uncertain market conditions.
🛡️ Integrated Risk Management
We believe a strategy is nothing without proper risk management. This system comes with built-in, percentage-based order management:
User-Defined Profit Target (%): Lock in profits automatically at your specified percentage gain.
User-Defined Stop Loss (%): Protect your capital with a hard stop loss.
Position Sizing: Control your risk per trade with a customizable position size.
Trades are also managed logically: a new strong signal in the opposite direction will automatically close any existing position, ensuring you're always on the right side of the cluster's consensus.
🎨 Visual Features & Customization
Fully Customizable: Don't like one system? Turn it off! Every system can be toggled on/off from the inputs.
Clear Visuals: Each system is plotted in a distinct color, making the chart a rich source of information without being cluttered.
Signal Markers: Strong Buy and Strong Sell clusters are clearly marked with large circles below and above the bars.
Alert Ready: Built-in alerts for Strong Buy and Strong Sell signals so you never miss a cluster setup.
🚀 How to Use
Add the script to your chart (1H, 4H, or Daily timeframes are recommended for swing trading).
Adjust the inputs to your liking, especially the Profit Target %, Stop Loss %, and Position Size under the "Strategy Parameters" section.
Observe the clusters. Wait for the "Strong Buy" or "Strong Sell" circle to appear.
Enter the trade. The strategy will automatically plot the profit target and stop loss levels on the chart for your reference.
Manage your trade. Let the logic handle the exits, or use your own discretion.
💡 Ideal For
Swing Traders looking for high-confidence set-and-forget setups.
Technical Analysts who appreciate the depth of multi-system confluence.
Traders who want to avoid the paralysis of analyzing too many indicators separately.
