Harmony Signal Flow By ArunThis Pine Script strategy, titled "Harmony Signal Flow By Arun," uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator to generate buy and sell signals based on custom thresholds. The script incorporates stop-loss and target management and restricts new trades until the previous position closes. Here's a detailed description:
Custom RSI Metric:
The strategy calculates a 5-period RSI based on the closing price, aiming for a more responsive measure of price momentum.
RSI thresholds are defined:
Lower threshold (30): Indicates oversold conditions, triggering a potential buy.
Upper threshold (70): Indicates overbought conditions, prompting a possible sell.
Entry Conditions:
Buy Signal: The strategy initiates a buy order when the RSI crosses above the lower threshold (30), indicating a shift from oversold conditions.
Sell Signal: A sell order is triggered when the RSI crosses below the upper threshold (70), suggesting an overbought reversal.
Only one order (buy or sell) can be active at a time, ensuring that a new trade begins only when there’s no existing position.
Stop-Loss and Target Management:
For each trade, stop-loss and target conditions are applied to manage risk and secure profits.
For Buy Positions:
Stop-loss is set 100 points below the entry price.
Target is set 150 points above the entry price.
For Sell Positions:
Stop-loss is set 100 points above the entry price.
Target is 150 points below the entry price.
The strategy closes the trade when either the stop-loss or target is met, marking the trade as "closed" and allowing a new trade entry.
Trade Sequencing:
A new trade (buy or sell) is only permitted after the previous position hits either its stop-loss or target, preventing overlapping trades and ensuring clear trade sequences.
This sequential approach enhances risk management by ensuring only one active position at any time.
End-of-Day Closure:
All open positions are closed automatically at 3:25 PM (Indian market time) to avoid overnight exposure, ensuring the strategy remains strictly intraday.
The flag for trade entry is reset at the end of each day, enabling fresh trades the next day.
Chart Indicators:
The script plots buy and sell signals directly on the chart with visible labels.
It also displays the custom RSI metric with horizontal lines for the lower and upper thresholds, providing visual cues for entry and exit points.
Summary
This strategy is a momentum-based intraday trading approach that uses the RSI for identifying potential reversals and manages trades through predefined stop-loss and target levels. By enforcing trade sequencing and closing positions at the end of the trading day, it prioritizes risk management and seeks to capitalize on short-term trends while avoiding overnight market risks.

Triple EMA Crossover StrategyTriple EMA Crossover Strategy
Overview
The Triple EMA Crossover Strategy is a trend-following trading system that utilizes three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. This strategy is based on the principle that when shorter-term prices cross above longer-term prices, it can indicate a bullish trend, and conversely when they cross below, it can signal a bearish trend.
Components
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Short EMA: A fast-moving average that reacts quickly to price changes (commonly set to 9 periods).
Medium EMA: A medium-term average that smooths out price data and helps confirm trends (commonly set to 21 periods).
Long EMA: A slow-moving average that helps identify the overall trend direction (commonly set to 55 periods).
Trading Signals:
Buy Signal: A long entry is triggered when:
The Short EMA (9) crosses above the Medium EMA (21).
The Medium EMA (21) is above the Long EMA (55).
Sell Signal: A short entry is signaled when:
The Short EMA (9) crosses below the Medium EMA (21).
The Medium EMA (21) is below the Long EMA (55).
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Stop Loss: Implement a predefined percentage or ATR-based stop loss to limit potential losses.
Take Profit: Set a target based on a risk-to-reward ratio that reflects your trading strategy's goals.
Advantages
Trend Identification: The EMA crossover system allows traders to identify the current trend dynamically, focusing on upward or downward price movements.
Simplicity: The strategy is straightforward, making it accessible for both new and experienced traders.
Flexibility: This method can be applied across multiple timeframes and asset classes, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Disadvantages
Lagging Indicator: Moving averages are lagging indicators, meaning signals may come later than the actual price movement, which can lead to missed opportunities.
Whipsaw Effect: In ranging markets, the strategy may produce false signals leading to potential losses.
MT Enhanced Trend Reversal StrategyThis strategy, called **"Enhanced Trend Reversal Strategy with Take Profit,"** is designed to identify trend reversal points based on several indicators: **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), MACD**, and **RSI**. The strategy also includes **take-profit levels** to provide traders with suggested profit-taking points.
Key Components of the Strategy
1. **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)**:
- The strategy uses **20 and 50-period EMAs** to determine trend direction. The shorter period (EMA 20) reacts more quickly to price changes, while the longer period (EMA 50) smooths out fluctuations.
- An **uptrend** (bullish market) is indicated when the EMA 20 is above the EMA 50. In this case, the main trend line is colored green.
- A **downtrend** (bearish market) is indicated when the EMA 20 is below the EMA 50, in which case the trend line is colored red.
- This visual indication simplifies analysis and allows traders to quickly assess the market condition.
2. **MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)**:
- MACD is an oscillator that shows the difference between two EMAs (with periods 6 and 13) and a **signal line** with a period of 5.
- A **buy signal** is generated when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential bullish trend.
- A **sell signal** is generated when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a possible bearish trend.
- Shorter MACD periods make the strategy more sensitive to price changes, allowing for more frequent trading signals.
3. **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**:
- RSI measures the speed and magnitude of directional price movements to determine if an asset is overbought or oversold.
- The strategy uses a standard RSI period of 14, but with relaxed levels for more signals.
- **For buy entries**, RSI should be above 40, signaling the start of a bullish impulse without indicating overbought conditions.
- **For sell entries**, RSI should be below 60, signaling potential bearish movement without being oversold.
Entry Conditions
- **Buy Signal**:
- The MACD line crosses above the signal line.
- EMA 20 is above EMA 50 (uptrend).
- RSI is above 40, indicating a potential rise without overbought conditions.
- When these conditions are met, the strategy enters a **long position**.
- **Sell Signal**:
- The MACD line crosses below the signal line.
- EMA 20 is below EMA 50 (downtrend).
- RSI is below 60, indicating a possible decline without being oversold.
- When these conditions are met, the strategy enters a **short position**.
Take-Profit Levels
- **Take Profit** is calculated at 1.5% of the entry price:
- **For long positions**, take profit is set at a level 1.5% above the entry price.
- **For short positions**, take profit is set at a level 1.5% below the entry price.
- This take-profit level is displayed as a blue line on the chart, giving traders a clear idea of the target profit point for each trade.
Visualization and Colors
- The main trend line (EMA 20) changes to green in an uptrend and red in a downtrend. This provides a clear visual indicator of the current trend direction.
- Take-profit levels are displayed as blue lines, helping traders follow targets and lock in profits at recommended levels.
Usage Recommendations
- **Timeframe**: The strategy is optimized for a 30-minute timeframe. At this interval, signals are frequent enough without being overly sensitive to noise.
- **Applicability**: The strategy works well for assets with moderate to high volatility, such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and currency pairs.
- **Risk Management**: In addition to take profit, a stop loss at around 1-2% is recommended to minimize losses in case of sudden trend reversals.
Conclusion
This strategy is designed for more frequent signals by using faster indicators and relaxed RSI conditions. It is suitable for traders seeking quick trade opportunities and clearly defined take-profit levels.
Price Action StrategyThe **Price Action Strategy** is a tool designed to capture potential market reversals by utilizing classic reversal candlestick patterns such as Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, and Pin Bar near dinamic support and resistance levels.
***Note to moderators
- The moving average was removed from the strategy because it was not suitable for the strategy and not participating in the entry or exit criteria.
- The moving average length has been replaced/renamed by the support/resistance lenght.
- The bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing patterns were also removed because in practice they were not working as entry criteria, since the candle price invariably closes far from the support/resistance level even considering the sensitivity range. There was no change in the backtest results after removing these patterns.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and resistance are pivotal price levels where the asset has previously struggled to move lower (support) or higher (resistance). These levels act as psychological barriers where buying interest (at support) or selling interest (at resistance) often increases, potentially causing price reversals.
- In this strategy, support is calculated as the lowest low and resistance as the highest high over a 16-period length. When the price nears these levels, it indicates possible zones for a reversal, and the strategy looks for specific candlestick patterns to confirm an entry.
2. Candlestick Patterns
- This strategy uses classic reversal patterns, including:
- **Hammer**: Indicates a buy signal, suggesting rejection of lower prices.
- **Shooting Star**: Suggests a sell signal, showing rejection of higher prices.
- **Doji**: Reflects indecision and potential reversal.
- **Pin Bar**: Represents price rejection with a long shadow, often signaling a reversal.
By combining these reversal patterns with the proximity to dinamic support or resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture potential reversal movements.
3. Sensitivity Level
- The sensitivity parameter adjusts the acceptable range (Default 0.018 = 1.8%) around support and resistance levels within which reversal patterns can trigger trades (i.e. the closing price of the candle must occur within the specified range defined by the sensitivity parameter). A higher sensitivity value expands this range, potentially leading to less accurate signals, as it may allow for more false positives.
4. Entry Criteria
- **Buy (Long)**: A Hammer, Doji, or Pin Bar pattern near support.
- **Sell (Short)**: A Shooting Star, Doji, or Pin Bar near resistance.
5. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 9.5%
- Stop loss = 16%
6. No Repainting
- The Price Action Strategy is not subject to repainting.
7. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 16% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
8. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.
9. Chart Visualization
- Support and resistance levels are displayed as green (support) and red (resistance) lines.
- Only the candlestick pattern that generated the entry signal to triger the trade is identified and labeled on the chart. During the operation, the occurrence of new Doji, Pin Bar, Hammer and Shooting Star patterns will not be demonstrated on the chart, since the exit criteria are based on percentage take profit and stop loss.

Supertrend StrategyThe Supertrend Strategy was created based on the Supertrend and Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators, widely respected tools in technical analysis. This strategy combines these two indicators to capture market trends with precision and reliability, looking for optimizing exit levels at oversold or overbought price levels.
The Supertrend indicator identifies trend direction based on price and volatility by using the Average True Range (ATR). The ATR measures market volatility by calculating the average range between an asset’s high and low prices over a set period. It provides insight into price fluctuations, with higher ATR values indicating increased volatility and lower values suggesting stability. The Supertrend Indicator plots a line above or below the price, signaling potential buy or sell opportunities: when the price closes above the Supertrend line, an uptrend is indicated, while a close below the line suggests a downtrend. This line shifts as price movements and volatility levels change, acting as both a trailing stop loss and trend confirmation.
To enhance the Supertrend strategy, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been added as an exit criterion. As a momentum oscillator, the RSI indicates overbought (usually above 70) or oversold (usually below 30) conditions. This integration allows trades to close when the asset is overbought or oversold, capturing gains before a possible reversal, even if the percentage take profit level has not been reached. This mechanism aims to prevent losses due to market reversals before the Supertrend signal changes.
### Key Features
1. **Entry criteria**:
- The strategy uses the Supertrend indicator calculated by adding or subtracting a multiple of the ATR from the closing price, depending on the trend direction.
- When the price crosses above the Supertrend line, the strategy signals a long (buy) entry. Conversely, when the price crosses below, it signals a short (sell) entry.
- The strategy performs a reversal if there is an open position and a change in the direction of the supertrend occurs
2. **Exit criteria**:
- Take profit of 30% (default) on the average position price.
- Oversold (≤ 5) or overbought (≥ 95) RSI
- Reversal when there is a change in direction of the Supertrend
3. **No Repainting**:
- This strategy is not subject to repainting, as long as the timeframe configured on your chart is the same as the supertrend timeframe .
4. **Position Sizing by Equity and risk management**:
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. At the time of opening the position, the supertrend line is typically positioned at about 12 to 16% of the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
5. **Backtest results**:
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtesting and operations in replay mode, including transaction fees of 0.12%, and slippage of 5 ticks.
- The past results in deep backtest and replay mode were compatible and profitable (Variable results depending on the take profit used, supertrend and RSI parameters). However, it should be noted that few operations were evaluated, since the currency in question has been created for a short time and the frequency of operations is relatively small.
- Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.

Keltner Channel Strategy by Kevin DaveyKeltner Channel Strategy Description
The Keltner Channel Strategy is a volatility-based trading approach that uses the Keltner Channel, a technical indicator derived from the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Average True Range (ATR). The strategy helps identify potential breakout or mean-reversion opportunities in the market by plotting upper and lower bands around a central EMA, with the channel width determined by a multiplier of the ATR.
Components:
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
The EMA smooths price data by placing greater weight on recent prices, allowing traders to track the market’s underlying trend more effectively than a simple moving average (SMA). In this strategy, a 20-period EMA is used as the midline of the Keltner Channel.
2. Average True Range (ATR):
The ATR measures market volatility over a 14-period lookback. By calculating the average of the true ranges (the greatest of the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, or the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close), the ATR captures how much an asset typically moves over a given period.
3. Keltner Channel:
The upper and lower boundaries are set by adding or subtracting 1.5 times the ATR from the EMA. These boundaries create a dynamic range that adjusts with market volatility.
Trading Logic:
• Long Entry Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the closing price falls below the lower Keltner Channel, indicating a potential buying opportunity at a support level.
• Short Entry Condition: The strategy enters a short position when the closing price exceeds the upper Keltner Channel, signaling a potential selling opportunity at a resistance level.
The strategy plots the upper and lower Keltner Channels and the EMA on the chart, providing a visual representation of support and resistance levels based on market volatility.
Scientific Support for Volatility-Based Strategies:
The use of volatility-based indicators like the Keltner Channel is supported by numerous studies on price momentum and volatility trading. Research has shown that breakout strategies, particularly those leveraging volatility bands such as the Keltner Channel or Bollinger Bands, can be effective in capturing trends and reversals in both trending and mean-reverting markets  .

Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion by Kevin Davey Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion Strategy Description
The Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion Strategy is a popular trading approach based on the concept of volatility and market overreaction. The strategy leverages Bollinger Bands, which consist of an upper and lower band plotted around a central moving average, typically using standard deviations to measure volatility. When the price moves beyond these bands, it signals potential overbought or oversold conditions, and the strategy seeks to exploit a reversion back to the mean (the central band).
Strategy Components:
1. Bollinger Bands:
The bands are calculated using a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a multiple (usually 2.0) of the standard deviation of the asset’s price over the same period. The upper band represents the SMA plus two standard deviations, while the lower band is the SMA minus two standard deviations. The distance between the bands increases with higher volatility and decreases with lower volatility.
2. Mean Reversion:
Mean reversion theory suggests that, over time, prices tend to move back toward their historical average. In this strategy, a buy signal is triggered when the price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a potential oversold condition. Conversely, the position is closed when the price rises back above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling an overbought condition.
Entry and Exit Logic:
Buy Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the price closes below the lower Bollinger Band, anticipating a mean reversion to the central band (SMA).
Sell Condition: The long position is exited when the price closes above the upper Bollinger Band, implying that the market is likely overbought and a reversal could occur.
This approach uses mean reversion principles, aiming to capitalize on short-term price extremes and volatility compression, often seen in sideways or non-trending markets. Scientific studies have shown that mean reversion strategies, particularly those based on volatility indicators like Bollinger Bands, can be effective in capturing small but frequent price reversals  .
Scientific Basis for Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands, developed by John Bollinger, are widely regarded in both academic literature and practical trading as an essential tool for volatility analysis and mean reversion strategies. Research has shown that Bollinger Bands effectively identify relative price highs and lows, and can be used to forecast price volatility and detect potential breakouts . Studies in financial markets, such as those by Fernández-Rodríguez et al. (2003), highlight the efficacy of Bollinger Bands in detecting overbought or oversold conditions in various assets .

Universal Trend Following Strategy | RocheurUniversal All Assets Strategy by Rocheur
The Universal All Assets Strategy is a cutting-edge, trend-following algorithm designed to operate seamlessly across multiple asset classes, including equities, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies. This strategy leverages the power of eight unique indicators, offering traders robust, adaptive signals. Its dynamic logic, combined with a comprehensive risk management framework, allows for precision trading in a variety of market conditions.
Core Methodologies and Features
1. Eight Integrated Trend Indicators
At the heart of the Universal All Assets Strategy are eight sophisticated trend-following indicators, each designed to capture different facets of market behavior. These indicators work together to provide a multi-dimensional analysis of price trends, filtering out noise and reacting only to significant movements:
Directional Moving Averages : Tracks the primary market trend, offering a clear indication of long-term price direction, ideal for identifying sustained upward or downward movements.
Smoothed Moving Averages : Reduces short-term volatility and noise to reveal the underlying trend, enhancing signal clarity and helping traders avoid reacting to temporary price spikes.
RSI Loops : Utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to assess market momentum, using a unique for loop mechanism to smooth out data and enhance precision.
Supertrend Filters : This indicator dynamically adjusts to market volatility, closely following price action to detect significant breakouts or reversals. The Supertrend is a core component for identifying shifts in trend direction with minimal lag.
RVI for Loop : The Relative Volatility Index (RVI) measures the strength of market volatility. It is optimized with a for loop mechanism, which smooths out the data and improves directional cues, especially in choppy or sideways markets.
Hull for Loop : The Hull Moving Average is designed to minimize lag while offering a smooth, responsive trend line. The for loop mechanism further enhances this by making the Hull even more sensitive to trend shifts, ensuring faster reaction to market movements without generating excessive noise.
These indicators evaluate market conditions independently, assigning a score of 1 for bullish trends and -1 for bearish trends. The average score across all eight indicators is calculated for each time frame (or bar), and this score determines whether the strategy should enter, exit, or remain neutral in a trade.
2. Scoring and Signal Confirmation
The strategy’s confirmation system ensures that trades are initiated only when there is strong alignment across multiple indicators:
A Long Position (Buy) is initiated when the majority of indicators generate a bullish signal, i.e., the average score exceeds a predefined upper threshold.
A Short Position or Exit is triggered when the average score falls below a lower threshold, signaling a bearish trend or neutral market.
By using a majority-rule confirmation system, the strategy filters out weak signals, reducing the chances of reacting to market noise or false positives. This ensures that only robust trends—those supported by multiple indicators—trigger trades.
Adaptive Logic for All Asset Classes
The Universal All Assets Strategy stands out for its ability to adapt dynamically across different asset classes. Whether it’s applied to highly volatile assets like cryptocurrencies or more stable instruments like equities, the strategy fine-tunes its behavior to match the asset’s volatility profile and price behavior.
Volatility Filters : The system incorporates volatility-sensitive filters, such as the Average True Range (ATR) and standard deviation metrics, which dynamically adjust its sensitivity based on market conditions. This ensures the strategy remains responsive to significant price movements while filtering out inconsequential fluctuations.
This adaptability makes the Universal All Assets Strategy effective across diverse markets, providing consistent performance whether the market is trending, range-bound, or experiencing high volatility.
Customization and Flexibility
1. Directional Bias
The strategy offers traders the flexibility to set a customizable directional bias, allowing it to focus on:
Long-only trades during bullish markets.
Short-only trades during bear markets.
Bi-directional trades for those looking to capitalize on both uptrends and downtrends.
This bias can be fine-tuned based on market conditions, trader preference, or risk tolerance, without compromising the integrity of the overall signal-generation process.
2. Volatility Sensitivity
Traders can adjust the strategy’s volatility sensitivity through customizable settings. By modifying how the system reacts to volatility, traders can make the strategy more aggressive in high-volatility environments or more conservative in quieter markets, depending on their individual trading style.
Visual Representation of Component Behavior
One of the unique features of the strategy is its real-time visual representation of the eight indicators through a component table displayed on the chart. This table provides a clear overview of the current status of each indicator:
A score of 1 indicates a bullish signal.
A score of -1 indicates a bearish signal.
The table is updated at each time frame (bar), showing how each indicator is contributing to the overall trend decision. This real-time feedback allows traders to monitor the exact composition of the strategy’s signal, helping them better understand market dynamics.
Oscillator Visualization for Trend Detection
To complement the component table, the strategy includes a trend oscillator displayed beneath the price chart, offering a visual summary of the overall market direction:
Green bars represent bullish trends when the majority of indicators signal an uptrend.
Red bars represent bearish trends or a neutral (cash) position when the majority of indicators detect a downtrend.
This oscillator allows traders to quickly assess the market’s overall direction at a glance, without needing to analyze each individual indicator, providing a clear and immediate visual of the market trend.
Backtested and Forward-Tested for Real-World Conditions
The Universal All Assets Strategy has been thoroughly tested under real-world trading conditions, incorporating key factors like:
Slippage : Set at 20 ticks to represent real market fluctuations.
Order Size : Calculated as 10% of equity, ensuring appropriate risk exposure for realistic capital management.
Commission : A fee of 0.05% has been factored in to account for trading costs.
These settings ensure that the strategy’s performance metrics—such as the Sortino Ratio , Sharpe Ratio , Omega Ratio , and Profit Factor —are reflective of actual trading environments. The rigorous backtesting and forward-testing processes ensure that the strategy produces realistic results, making it compatible with the markets it is written for and demonstrating how the system would behave in live conditions. It also includes robust risk management tools to minimize drawdowns and preserve capital, making it suitable for both professional and retail traders.
Anti-Fragile Design and Realistic Expectations
The Universal All Assets Strategy is engineered to be anti-fragile, thriving in volatile markets by adjusting to turbulence rather than being damaged by it. This is a crucial feature that ensures the strategy remains effective even during times of significant market instability.
Moreover, the strategy is transparent about realistic expectations, acknowledging that no system can guarantee a 100% win rate and that past performance is not indicative of future results. This transparency fosters trust and provides traders with a realistic framework for long-term success, making it an ideal choice for traders looking to navigate complex market conditions with confidence.

Recommendation: We recommend using the Adaptive MAs (Hurst, CVaR, Fractal) // AlgoFyre indicator with the following settings for trend detection. However, you can use any trend indicator that suits your trading style, e.g. an EMA 200.
🞘 Oscillator Source: The oscillator source is used for momentum price divergence identification. Any momentum oscillator can be used, e.g. RSI, Stochastic etc. A good oscillator is the Stochastic with the following settings:
🔸Conditions 🞘 Long Entry: A long entry condition is met if price closes above the trend AND selected divergence conditions are met, e.g. regular bullish divergence with a 10 bar lookback period with the divergence being below the 50 point mean. If the info table shows all 3 columns in the same color, the entry conditions are met and a position is opened.
🞘 Short Entry: A short entry condition is met if price closes below the trend AND selected divergence conditions are met, e.g. regular bearish divergence with a 10 bar lookback period with the divergence being above the 50 point mean.
🞘 Take Profit: Take Profit is determined by the Risk to Reward Ratio settings depending on the price distance between the entry price and the stop loss price, e.g. if stop loss is 1% away from entry and Risk Reward Ratio is 3:1 then Take Profit will be set at 3% from entry.
🞘 Stop Loss: Stop loss is a fixed level away from the trend source. For long positions, stop loss is set below the trend, and for short positions, above the trend.
🔶 INSTRUCTIONS The Divergence Trend Trading with Dynamic Position Sizing strategy can be set up by adding it to your TradingView chart and configuring parameters such as the oscillator source, trend source, and risk management settings. This strategy is designed to capitalize on short-term price movements by dynamically adjusting position sizes based on predefined risk parameters. Enhance the accuracy of signals by combining this strategy with additional indicators like trend-following or momentum-based tools. Adjust settings to better manage risk and optimize entry and exit points.
🔸Adding the Strategy to the Chart:
Go to your TradingView chart.
Click on the "Indicators" button at the top.
Search for "Divergence Trend Trading with Dynamic Position Sizing // AlgoFyre" in the indicators list.
Click on the strategy to add it to your chart.
🔸Configuring the Strategy:
Open the strategy settings by clicking on the gear icon next to its name on the chart.

🔸Visual Customization Visualization Settings: Customize the display of entry price, take profit, and stop loss levels.
Color Settings: Switch to the AlgoFyre theme or set custom colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral states.
Table Settings: Enable or disable the information table and adjust its position.
🔶 CONCLUSION
The Divergence Trend Trading with Dynamic Position Sizing strategy provides a robust framework for capitalizing on short-term market trends by combining price divergence with dynamic position sizing. This strategy leverages divergence conditions to identify entry points and utilizes a trend source for directional bias, ensuring trades align with prevailing market conditions. By incorporating dynamic position sizing based on a fixed risk amount, traders can effectively manage risk and adapt to varying market conditions. The strategy's customizable stop-loss and take-profit levels further enhance its risk management capabilities, making it a versatile tool for both trending and volatile markets. With its strategic blend of technical indicators and risk management, the Divergence Trend Trading strategy offers traders a comprehensive approach to optimizing trade execution and maximizing potential returns.
Advanced Multi-Seasonality StrategyThe Multi-Seasonality Strategy is a trading system based on seasonal market patterns. Seasonality refers to recurring market trends driven by predictable calendar-based events. These patterns emerge due to economic cycles, corporate activities (e.g., earnings reports), and investor behavior around specific times of the year. Studies have shown that such effects can influence asset prices over defined periods, leading to opportunities for traders who exploit these patterns (Hirshleifer, 2001; Bouman & Jacobsen, 2002).
How the Strategy Works:
The strategy allows the user to define four distinct periods within a calendar year. For each period, the trader selects:
Entry Date (Month and Day): The date to enter the trade.
Holding Period: The number of trading days to remain in the trade after the entry.
Trade Direction: Whether to take a long or short position during that period.
The system is designed with flexibility, enabling the user to activate or deactivate each of the four periods. The idea is to take advantage of seasonal patterns, such as buying during historically strong periods and selling during weaker ones. A well-known example is the "Sell in May and Go Away" phenomenon, which suggests that stock returns are higher from November to April and weaker from May to October (Bouman & Jacobsen, 2002).
Seasonality in Financial Markets:
Seasonal effects have been documented across different asset classes and markets:
Equities: Stock markets tend to exhibit higher returns during certain months, such as the "January effect," where prices rise after year-end tax-loss selling (Haugen & Lakonishok, 1987).
Commodities: Agricultural commodities often follow seasonal planting and harvesting cycles, which impact supply and demand patterns (Fama & French, 1987).
Forex: Currency pairs may show strength or weakness during specific quarters based on macroeconomic factors, such as fiscal year-end flows or central bank policy decisions.
Scientific Basis:
Research shows that market anomalies like seasonality are linked to behavioral biases and institutional practices. For example, investors may respond to tax incentives at the end of the year, and companies may engage in window dressing (Haugen & Lakonishok, 1987). Additionally, macroeconomic factors, such as monetary policy shifts and holiday trading volumes, can also contribute to predictable seasonal trends (Bouman & Jacobsen, 2002).
Risks of Seasonal Trading:
While the strategy seeks to exploit predictable patterns, there are inherent risks:
Market Changes: Seasonal effects observed in the past may weaken or disappear as market conditions evolve. Increased algorithmic trading, globalization, and policy changes can reduce the reliability of historical patterns (Lo, 2004).
Overfitting: One of the risks in seasonal trading is overfitting the strategy to historical data. A pattern that worked in the past may not necessarily work in the future, especially if it was based on random chance or external factors that no longer apply (Sullivan, Timmermann, & White, 1999).
Liquidity and Volatility: Trading during specific periods may expose the trader to low liquidity, especially around holidays or earnings seasons, leading to slippage and larger-than-expected price swings.
Economic and Geopolitical Shocks: External events such as pandemics, wars, or political instability can disrupt seasonal patterns, leading to unexpected market behavior.
Conclusion:
The Multi-Seasonality Strategy capitalizes on the predictable nature of certain calendar-based patterns in financial markets. By entering and exiting trades based on well-established seasonal effects, traders can potentially capture short-term profits. However, caution is necessary, as market dynamics can change, and seasonal patterns are not guaranteed to persist. Rigorous backtesting, combined with risk management practices, is essential to successfully implementing this strategy.

Statistical ArbitrageThe Statistical Arbitrage Strategy, also known as pairs trading, is a quantitative trading method that capitalizes on price discrepancies between two correlated assets. The strategy assumes that over time, the prices of these two assets will revert to their historical relationship. The core idea is to take advantage of mean reversion, a principle suggesting that asset prices will revert to their long-term average after deviating significantly.
Strategy Mechanics:
1. Selection of Correlated Assets:
• The strategy focuses on two historically correlated assets (e.g., equity index futures like Dow Jones Mini and S&P 500 Mini). These assets tend to move in the same direction due to similar underlying fundamentals, such as overall market conditions. By tracking their relative prices, the strategy seeks to exploit temporary mispricings.
2. Spread Calculation:
• The spread is the difference between the prices of the two assets. This spread represents the relationship between the assets and serves as the basis for determining when to enter or exit trades.
3. Mean and Standard Deviation:
• The historical average (mean) of the spread is calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a chosen period. The strategy also computes the standard deviation (volatility) of the spread, which measures how far the spread has deviated from the mean over time. This allows the strategy to define statistically significant price deviations.
4. Entry Signal (Mean Reversion):
• A buy signal is triggered when the spread falls below the mean by a multiple (e.g., two) of the standard deviation. This indicates that one asset is temporarily undervalued relative to the other, and the strategy expects the spread to revert to its mean, generating profits as the prices converge.
5. Exit Signal:
• The strategy exits the trade when the spread reverts to the mean. At this point, the mispricing has been corrected, and the profit from the mean reversion is realized.
Academic Support:
Statistical arbitrage has been widely studied in finance and economics. Gatev, Goetzmann, and Rouwenhorst’s (2006) landmark study on pairs trading demonstrated that this strategy could generate excess returns in equity markets. Their research found that by focusing on historically correlated stocks, traders could identify pricing anomalies and profit from their eventual correction.
Additionally, Avellaneda and Lee (2010) explored statistical arbitrage in different asset classes and found that exploiting deviations in price relationships can offer a robust, market-neutral trading strategy. In these studies, the strategy’s success hinges on the stability of the relationship between the assets and the timely execution of trades when deviations occur.
Risks of Statistical Arbitrage:
1. Correlation Breakdown:
• One of the primary risks is the breakdown of correlation between the two assets. Statistical arbitrage assumes that the historical relationship between the assets will hold in the future. However, market conditions, company fundamentals, or external shocks (e.g., macroeconomic changes) can cause these assets to deviate permanently, leading to potential losses.
• For instance, if two equity indices historically move together but experience divergent economic conditions or policy changes, their prices may no longer revert to the expected mean.
2. Execution Risk:
• This strategy relies on efficient execution and tight spreads. In volatile or illiquid markets, the actual price at which trades are executed may differ significantly from expected prices, leading to slippage and reduced profits.
3. Market Risk:
• Although statistical arbitrage is designed to be market-neutral (i.e., not dependent on the overall market direction), it is not entirely risk-free. Systematic market shocks, such as financial crises or sudden shifts in market sentiment, can affect both assets simultaneously, causing the spread to widen rather than revert to the mean.
4. Model Risk:
• The assumptions underlying the strategy, particularly regarding mean reversion, may not always hold true. The model assumes that asset prices will return to their historical averages within a certain timeframe, but the timing and magnitude of mean reversion can be uncertain. Misestimating this timeframe can lead to extended drawdowns or unrealized losses.
5. Overfitting:
• Over-reliance on historical data to fine-tune the strategy parameters (e.g., the lookback period or standard deviation thresholds) may result in overfitting. This means that the strategy works well on past data but fails to perform in live markets due to changing conditions.
Conclusion:
The Statistical Arbitrage Strategy offers a systematic and quantitative approach to trading that capitalizes on temporary price inefficiencies between correlated assets. It has been proven to generate returns in academic studies and is widely used by hedge funds and institutional traders for its market-neutral characteristics. However, traders must be aware of the inherent risks, including correlation breakdown, execution risks, and the potential for prolonged deviations from the mean. Effective risk management, diversification, and constant monitoring are essential for successfully implementing this strategy in live markets.
ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Swing Low
User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing Low Below Entry
Previous Day Low
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing High
Previous Day High

Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!

- Trading Bot – TopBot Anomaly Robot Strategy -- Introduction -
This strategy is based on a search for abnormal market price movements relative to a time-shifted main moving average. Different variations of the main moving average are created and shifted proportionally rather than linearly, giving the strategy greater reactivity and serving as position entry points. What's more ? This strategy stands out with a major innovation, allowing position exits to be set on variations in the moving average (and not on the moving average itself, like all strategies that close positions on return to the moving average), which greatly improves actual results.
- Detailed operation of the strategy -
It defines a function that calculates various moving averages (depending on the type of moving average defined by the user) and the chosen length. The function takes into account different types of moving averages: SMA, PCMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, ZLEMA and HMA, and is offset in time so that it can be an entry or exit condition in real time (otherwise you'd have to wait for the next candle for the moving average to be calculated).
It calculates shifted variants (semi-parallel) as a percentage of this main moving average, high and low, to define position entry points (depending on user settings, up to 10 shifted levels for ten position entries for each direction). By calculating shifts as percentages rather than fixed values, the resulting deviations are not parallel to the main moving average, but can be used to detect sudden price contractions. By adjusting these deviations proportionally, we can observe variations relative to the main moving average more clearly, enabling us to detect dynamic support and resistance zones that adapt to market fluctuations. The fact that they are not strictly parallel avoids too rigid an interpretation and gives a more nuanced reading of trends, capturing small divergences that could indicate more subtle changes in market dynamics.
The most distinctive feature of this strategy concerns position exits: the script calculates two new moving averages shifted in proportion to the main moving average (adjustable) to define position exit price levels.
The strategy enters position when one of the deviations from the position entry moving average is crossed, and exits position when the deviation from the position exit moving average is crossed.
Position entry can be single or up to ten entry levels per direction to smooth trades. Differentiated settings are available for Longs and Shorts.
In this type of strategy, the return to the moving average is generally used as the position exit point, but this strategy incorporates a unique feature: the position exit can be made on a deviation from the moving average, adjustable and differentiated for Long and Short positions.
This is a major change compared to other strategies using a moving-average position exit, since the result is thatchanging the position exit point considerably improves the strategy's results .
Backtest with a classic exit back to the moving average :
Backtest with an exit back on an (adjustable) derivative of the moving average :
- “Ready to use” and user-adjustable parameters -
The strategy interface has been optimized for easy creation of trading robots, with all settings underlying the calculations and numerous options for optimization. Here are the contents of the strategy parameters interface:
In addition, important information about strategy settings and results is displayed directly on the chart. The percentage profit displayed may differ slightly from that of the backtest, as it includes potential profits from open trades (strategy.openprofit) in its calculation.
- Conditions, options and settings for graph and backtest presentation -
Here are the conditions and settings for the graph presented on the screen:
The strategy is set for 10 possible LONG and SHORT entries
10% of capital in x2 leverage is invested at each position entry (i.e. 20% of capital under backtest conditions)
The backtest runs for 14 months: from 08/17/2023 to 08/19/2024
It is carried out on PENDLEUSDT.P on BitGet Swap in 4H
LONGS strategy settings: 0.18 - 0.19 - 0.2 - 0.21 - 0.22 - 0.23 - 0.24 - 0.25 - 0.26 - 0.275 - LONGS output deviation: 0.03 (3%)
Strategy settings for SHORTS: 0.21 - 0.22 - 0.23 - 0.24 - 0.25 - 0.26 - 0.27 - 0.28 - 0.29 - 0.3 - LONGS output deviation: 0.032 (3.2%)
All other settings are strategy defaults - Broker fees + spread are set at 0.13% per trade
We can see several interesting points:
The strategy has very high winrate if set to this objective
The settings here have not been “over-optimized”, i.e. all 10 entries are unused, leaving room for larger-than-expected market movements in the future. In this particular case, it is set to favor safety over profitability optimization, but other approaches are possible to maximize profitability.
The result is 277.75% , thanks to the strategy's adjustment of position exit levels. With a conventional exit at the moving average, results are only 204.47%, a significant difference.
- How to adjust and apply the strategy? -
Generally speaking, the strategy works well on a large proportion of cryptocurrencies, especially for LONG positions. The recommended timeframes are: 30M-45M-1H-2H-3H-4H and the most appropriate timeframe will vary according to the cryptocurrency. It is also possible, with certain assets, to run the strategy on shorter timeframes such as 5M or 15M with success.
The strategy can be used with a single position entry level, maximizing capital utilization on each trade and/or having several strategies active on a single account at the same time
It can also be used in a “safe” way, using up to ten successive entries to smooth out unforeseen market movements and minimize risk as much as possible. In this case, enter positions with 1/10 of the capital each time, for a setting of ten entries, and give preference to a single active bot per account so that all positions can be covered (a fixed dollar amount, not a percentage, is then recommended)
The recommended leverage is x1 or x2 for controlled long-term trading, especially with ten entry levels, although sometimes higher leverage could be considered with controlled risk.
Here's how to set up the strategy:
Start by finding a cryptocurrency displaying a nice curve with the default settings
Then try out the default settings on all timeframes, and select the timeframe with the best curve or the best result
Deactivate shorts
Set the first long triggerlevel to the value that gives the best result
(optional): Change the moving average type, period and data source to find the most optimized setting before proceeding to the next step
Set the 10thlong inputlevel to the last value modifying the result
Set the 8 intermediate input levels, distributing them as evenly as possible
Then adjust the output level of the longs, which can greatly improve the results
Temporarily deactivate the longs, activate the shorts and follow the same process
Reactivate longs and shorts
- How to program robots for automated trading using this strategy -
If you want to use this strategy for automated trading, it's very simple. All you need is an account with a cryptocurrency broker that allows APIs, and an intermediary between TradinView and your broker who will manage your orders.
Here's how it works:
On your intermediary, create a bot that will manage the details of your orders (amount, single or multiple entries, exit conditions). This bot is linked to the broker via an API and will be able to place real orders. Each bot has four different signals that enable it to be activated via a webhook. When one of the signals is received, it executes the orders for you.
On TradingView, set the strategy to a suitable asset and timeframe. Once set, enter in the strategy parameters the signals specific to the bot you've created. Confirm and close the parameters.
Still on TradingView, create an alarm based on your set strategy (on the strategy tester). Give the alarm the name of your choice and in “Message” enter only{{strategy.order.comment}}.
In alarm notifications, activate the webhook and enter the webhook of your trading intermediary. Confirm the alarm.
As long as the alarm is activated in TradingView, the strategy will monitor the market and send an order to enter or exit a position as soon as the conditions are met. Your bot will receive the instruction and place orders with your broker. Subsequent changes to the strategy settings do not change those stored in the alarm. If you wish to change the settings for one of your bots, simply delete the old alarm and create a new one.
Note: In your bot settings, on your intermediary, make sure to allow: - Multiple inputs - A single output signal to close all positions - Stoploss disabled (if necessary, use the strategy one)

G-Channel with EMA StrategyThe G-Channel is a custom channel with an upper (a), lower (b), and average (avg) line. These lines are dynamically calculated based on the current and previous closing prices, using the length input (default 100) to smooth the values:
Upper Line (a): This is the maximum value of the current price or the previous upper value, adjusted by the difference between the upper and lower lines divided by the length.
Lower Line (b): This is the minimum value of the current price or the previous lower value, similarly adjusted by the difference between the upper and lower lines.
The average line (avg) is simply the midpoint between the upper and lower lines. The G-Channel signals trend direction:
Bullish Condition: The system looks for the condition when the price crosses over the lower line (b), indicating a potential upward trend.
Bearish Condition: When the price crosses under the upper line (a), it signals a potential downward trend.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
The strategy also incorporates an EMA with a default length of 200. The EMA serves as a trend filter to determine whether the market is trending upward or downward:
Price below EMA: Indicates a bearish trend.
Price above EMA: Indicates a bullish trend.
Buy/Sell Conditions
The strategy generates buy or sell signals based on the interaction between the G-Channel signals and the price relative to the EMA:
Buy Signal: The strategy triggers a buy when:
A bullish condition (recent crossover of price over the lower G-Channel line) is detected.
The price is below the EMA, indicating that despite the recent bullish signal, the market might still be undervalued or in a temporary downturn.
Sell Signal: The strategy triggers a sell when:
A bearish condition (recent crossunder of price below the upper G-Channel line) is detected.
The price is above the EMA, suggesting that the market might be overextended and poised for a downturn.
Visualization
The strategy plots:
The upper, lower, and average lines of the G-Channel, with the average line colored based on bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions.
The EMA (orange) line to provide context on the general trend direction.
Markers for Buy and Sell signals to visually indicate the strategy's entry points.
Strategy Execution
When a buy or sell signal is detected:
Buy Entry: If the bullish condition and price < EMA condition are met, a long (buy) position is opened.
Sell Entry: If the bearish condition and price > EMA condition are met, a short (sell) position is opened.
Purpose
This strategy aims to catch price reversals at critical points (when the price moves through the G-Channel) while filtering trades using the EMA to avoid entering during unfavorable market trends.
Velocity/Volatility/Volume StrategyThe "Vel/Vty/Vol Strategy" is a momentum-based trading approach designed to take advantage of strong price movements that are confirmed by both volatility and volume (if enabled). It provides a high level of customization, allowing traders to adjust various settings based on market conditions and individual preferences. By combining three critical indicators—velocity, volatility (measured through Bollinger Band Width), and an optional volume filter—the strategy generates trade signals for both long and short positions. Here’s a comprehensive explanation of how the strategy works, how the parameters can be customized, and how those adjustments benefit users.
At its core, the strategy focuses on velocity, which measures the speed at which price is changing over time. This is a key indicator of momentum, with a "StrongUp" signal indicating bullish momentum and a "StrongDown" signal suggesting bearish momentum. In addition to velocity, the strategy factors in acceleration, which helps gauge whether momentum is building or weakening. The second essential component is Bollinger Band Width (BBW), which measures volatility in the market. When the BBW expands, it signals increasing volatility, a condition that must be met in combination with a velocity signal to generate a trade. Lastly, the strategy includes an optional Volume Oscillator to filter trades. When this volume filter is enabled, trades will only be executed if there’s an increase in volume, further validating market activity.
The strategy generates long and short trade signals based on specific conditions. A long trade is triggered when there is a strong upward velocity, accompanied by an increase in Bollinger Band Width, indicating both momentum and heightened volatility. If the volume filter is toggled on, a rise in volume must also confirm the signal. Similarly, a short trade is initiated when a strong downward velocity is detected, again paired with an increase in volatility and, optionally, a volume rise. This ensures that trades occur during periods of heightened market activity, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
To help manage risk, the strategy includes several customizable tools. Users can set take profit levels to automatically close positions and lock in gains once a predefined profit percentage is reached. For example, if a 2% take profit is set, a long position will be closed once the price has risen by 2%. Additionally, a trailing take profit option can be enabled, allowing the strategy to dynamically adjust the take-profit target as the market moves in the user’s favor. This ensures that profits are locked in as long as the market continues to trend positively, while providing protection in case of a reversal. The strategy also includes a trailing stop-loss feature, which adjusts the stop price as the market moves in favor of the trade, helping to minimize losses and protect gains.
The strategy offers a variety of parameters that can be customized to suit different trading styles and market conditions. The velocity lookback period controls how far back the strategy looks to calculate velocity. A shorter lookback makes the strategy more sensitive to recent price changes, generating more signals, which can benefit day traders or those seeking to capture short-term price swings. Conversely, a longer lookback smooths out the velocity calculation, reducing false signals and making the strategy more suitable for traders seeking to capture larger trends. Similarly, the Bollinger Band Width (BBW) length can be adjusted to control how far back the strategy looks to calculate volatility. A shorter BBW length makes the strategy more sensitive to volatility spikes, useful in rapidly changing markets. In contrast, a longer BBW length filters out short-term noise and focuses on more sustainable volatility shifts, better suited for slower, more stable markets.
The volume filter is another powerful feature that can be toggled on or off. When turned on, the strategy will only execute trades if there is an increase in volume alongside velocity and volatility signals. This helps filter out false signals in low-volume markets, ensuring that price movements are supported by actual market activity. If the volume filter is turned off, the strategy focuses purely on price and volatility changes, which can be useful in markets where volume data is unreliable or less relevant.
The take profit percentage can be adjusted to define how aggressively or conservatively profits are locked in. A lower take profit percentage allows traders to capture smaller, quicker profits, which can be advantageous in volatile markets. A higher take profit percentage suits traders who prefer to capture larger moves, allowing them to stay in trades longer to benefit from extended trends. Similarly, the trailing take profit percentage determines how tightly the strategy follows market prices as they move in favor of the trade. A tighter trailing percentage ensures that profits are locked in quickly, while a wider trailing percentage gives trades more room to run, ideal for capturing large trends.
The stop loss percentage is another key setting that controls how much risk a trader is willing to take before the position is closed. A tighter stop loss minimizes losses but may result in more frequent stop-outs, particularly in volatile markets. A wider stop loss provides more room for trades to develop, which is useful for traders aiming to capture longer trends despite short-term fluctuations. Additionally, the velocity thresholds can be adjusted to set how sensitive the strategy is to price movements. Lower thresholds increase sensitivity, generating more signals in fast-moving markets, while higher thresholds filter out weaker signals, focusing on larger momentum shifts.
The strategy also allows users to define a time range during which it is active, offering flexibility in backtesting and optimizing for specific market conditions. By limiting the strategy to certain periods, users can tailor it to seasonal trends or historical data that matches their current trading environment.
The flexibility of this strategy makes it suitable for a wide range of traders. Day traders can benefit from adjusting the velocity and BBW lookback periods, tightening take profit and stop loss settings to capture short, fast price movements in highly volatile markets. Trend traders can lengthen the lookback periods and widen the velocity thresholds to capture larger, sustained moves while riding out short-term volatility. Traders with a lower risk tolerance can enable the volume filter and tighten stop losses to reduce false signals and minimize losses. On the other hand, aggressive traders can widen the take profit and trailing stop percentages to allow trades to develop fully, maximizing potential gains in trending markets.

Wolfpack Elite - Liquidation Sniper - by 9123416916### Strategy: **Wolfpack Elite - Liquidation Sniper by Md Arif**
**Overview:**
This is a technical analysis strategy designed for trading, which combines two popular technical indicators: **Relative Strength Index (RSI)** and **Moving Averages (MA)**. It identifies potential buy (long) and sell (short) signals based on oversold and overbought conditions in the market, along with crossovers between two moving averages. The strategy also incorporates a risk management system by setting **take profit** and **stop loss** levels to protect against large losses and lock in gains.
---
**Key Components:**
1. **Indicators Used:**
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index):**
- Measures the speed and change of price movements.
- Used to identify **overbought** (above 70) and **oversold** (below 30) conditions.
- **Short and Long Moving Averages:**
- The strategy uses two simple moving averages (SMA) to detect trends and potential entry points.
- Short MA (9-period) and Long MA (21-period) are used for crossovers.
2. **Entry Signals:**
- **Bullish Entry (Long Position):**
- Triggered when the RSI falls below the oversold level (30) and the **short MA** crosses above the **long MA** (bullish crossover).
- This suggests that the market might be oversold and ready to rebound.
- **Bearish Entry (Short Position):**
- Triggered when the RSI rises above the overbought level (70) and the **short MA** crosses below the **long MA** (bearish crossover).
- This suggests that the market might be overbought and due for a correction.
3. **Risk Management:**
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss:**
- The strategy calculates the take profit and stop loss levels as percentages of the entry price.
- **Take Profit:** Set at 5% above the entry price for long positions and 5% below the entry price for short positions.
- **Stop Loss:** Set at 3% below the entry price for long positions and 3% above the entry price for short positions.
4. **Position Sizing:**
- The position size is calculated as a percentage of the trader's total equity (default set to 100% of equity).
5. **Exit Conditions:**
- **For Long Positions:**
- Exit the trade if the price hits the take profit level (5% above entry) or the stop loss level (3% below entry).
- **For Short Positions:**
- Exit the trade if the price hits the take profit level (5% below entry) or the stop loss level (3% above entry).
6. **Visualization:**
- The strategy visually plots the short and long moving averages on the chart.
- It also marks **bullish crossovers** with green upward triangles and **bearish crossovers** with red downward triangles, making it easier to spot potential entry points.
---
**How the Strategy Works:**
- The strategy starts by calculating the **RSI** and **moving averages**.
- It waits for specific conditions to trigger buy or sell signals. If the RSI indicates that the market is oversold and a bullish crossover occurs, it initiates a **long trade**. Similarly, if the RSI shows an overbought condition and a bearish crossover occurs, it opens a **short trade**.
- Once a trade is open, the strategy monitors the price and automatically exits the trade if the price reaches the set take profit or stop loss level.
---
This strategy is designed for active traders who seek to capitalize on short-term price movements and want clear entry/exit points with built-in risk management.
Support Resistance Pivot EMA Scalp Strategy [Mauserrifle]A strategy that creates signals based on: pivots, EMA 9+20, RSI, ATR, VWAP, wicks and volume.
The strategy is developed as a helper for quick long option scalping. This strategy is primarily designed for intraday trading on the 2m SPY chart with extended hours. However, users can adapt it for use on different symbols and timeframes. These signals are meant as a helper rather than fully automated trading bots.
One of the key elements is its pivot-based calculation, driven by my integrated indicator "Support and Resistance Pivot Points/Lines ". It enables multi-timeframe pivot calculations which are used to generate the signals and offers customizability, allowing you to define rounding methods and cooldown periods to refine pivot levels. The pivots, in combination with EMA crossovers, VWAP trend, and additional filters (RSI, ATR, VWAP, wicks and volume), create an entry and exit strategy for scalping opportunities that is useful for 0/1 DTE options with an average trade time of six minutes with the default setup for SPY. Option trading should be done outside TradingView. At this moment of release there is no option trading support.
All parameters used in the strategy are tweaked based on deep backtests results and real-time behavior. Be mindful that past performance does not guarantee future results.
The strategy is designed for intermediate and advanced users who are familiar intraday option scalping techniques.
How It Works
The strategy identifies entries based on multiple conditions, including: recently above pivot, recent EMA crossovers, RSI range, candle patterns, and VWAP uptrend. It avoids trades below the VWAP lower band due to poor backtesting results in those conditions. It creates a great number of signals when it detects an uptrend, which entails: VWAP and its lower/upper band slopes are going up, and the number of next high pivot points is greater than the number of lower pivot points. This indicates that we hope it will keep going up. In historical testing, this showed favorable results. This uptrend criteria runs on 15m charts max (where up to the VWAP effectiveness is the greatest).
The strategy also checks for candle and volume patterns, identified in backtesting to improve entry levels on historic data. Which include:
A red candle after multiple green ones, hoping to jump on a trend during a small pullback
Zero lower wick
Percentage and volume is up after lower volume candles
Percentage is up and the first and second EMA slopes are going up
Percentage is up, the first EMA is higher than the second, the price low is below the second EMA and price close above it
The VWAP uptrend overrules the candle and volume conditions (thus lots of signals during those moments).
The above is the base for many signals. There is a strict mode that adds extra checks such as:
not trading when there is no next low or high pivot
requiring a VWAP uptrend only
minimum candle percentages
This mode is for analyzing history and seeing performance during these conditions. It is worth it to create a separate alert for strict mode so you are aware of these conditions during trading.
When no stop has been defined, exits will always happen on pivot crossunder confirmations. If a stop is defined (default config), the strategy exits a position when:
the position is negative or no trail has been set
at least 1 bar has past
OR no stop has been defined (overrules previous)
trail has not been activated
The second exit condition happens when the close is below first EMA(9 by default) and when:
the position has been above first EMA
the gap between close and last pivot isn't small
the position is negative or no trail has been set
OR no stop has been defined (overrules above)
trail has not been activated
There are some more variations on this but the above are the most common. These exit conditions are a safety net because the strategy heavily relies on and favors stops. The settings allow changing stops, profit takers and trails. You can configure it to always sell without the conditions above.
The script will paint the pivot lines, trailing activation/stops, EMAs and entry/exits; with extra information in the data panel. For a complete view add VWAP and RSI to your chart, which are available from TradingView official indicator library. The strategy will not rely on those added indicators since VWAP and RSI are programmed in. You can add them to track the behavior of the signals based on these filters you have configured and have a complete view trading this strategy.
As mentioned earlier, the default settings are built for SPY 2m charts, with extended hours and real-time data. Open the strategy on this chart to study how all input parameters are used. If you don't have real-time data you need to adjust the minimum volume settings (set it to 0 at first).
The backtest
The default backtest configuration is set up to simulate SPY option trading.
Start capital is set to 10,000 and we risk around 5% of that per trade (1 contract)
Commission is set to 0.005%. The reason: at the time of this publication the SPY index price is approximately $580. Two ITM 0/1 DTE options contracts, each priced around $280, which is approximately $560. The typical commission for such a trade is around $3. To simulate this commission in the backtest on the SPY index itself, a commission of 0.005% per trade has been applied, approximating the options trading costs.
Slippage of 3 is set reflecting liquid SPY
The bar magnifier feature is turned on to have more realistic fills
Trading
In backtesting, setting commission and slippage to 0 on the SPY 2m chart shows many trades result around breaking even. Personally, I view them as an opportunity and safety net to help manage emotional decisions for exits. The signals are designed for short option scalps, allowing traders to take small profits and potentially re-enter during the strategy’s position window. It's advisable to take small potential profits, such as 4%, whenever the opportunity arises and consider re-entering if the setup still looks favorable, for example price still above ema9. Exiting a long position below ema9 is a common strategy for 2m scalping.
The average trade duration is approximately 6 minutes (3 bars). The choice between ITM (in-the-money), ATM (at-the-money), or OTM (out-of-the-money) options will depend on your trading style. Personally, I’ve seen better results with ITM options because they tend to move more in sync with the underlying index, thanks to their higher delta.
It’s important to note that the signals are designed to be a helper for manual trading rather than to automate a bot. Users are encouraged to take small profits and re-enter positions if favorable conditions persist. Be mindful that past performance does not guarantee future results.
For the default SPY setup the losses will mostly be 4-10% for ITM options. Be mindful of extreme volatile conditions where losses may reach 30% quickly, especially when trading ATM/OTM options.
The following settings can be changed:
8 pivot timeframes with left/right bars and days rendered
Here you can configure the timeframes for the pivots, which are crucial. The strategy wants that a crossover has happened recently (so it might enter after a crossunder if the crossover was recent) or the price is still above the crossed pivot.
When you decide to use a pivot timeframe higher than your chart, make sure it aligns the same starting point as the chart timeframe. As stated in the 43000478429 docs, there is a dependency between the resolution and the alignment of a starting point:
1–14 minutes — aligns to the beginning of a week
15–29 minutes — aligns to the beginning of a month
from 30 minutes and higher — aligns to the beginning of a year
This alignment also affects the setting of rendered days. I recommend a max value of 5 days for 1-14 minutes timeframes.
Also make sure a higher pivot timeframe can be divided by the lower. For instance I had repaint issues using 3m pivots on a 2m chart. But 4m pivots work fine.
Please look up docs 43000478429 to make sure this information is still up to date.
Pivot rounding
The pivot rounding option is used to add pivots based on a rounded price and limit the number of pivots. While this feature is disabled by default it can be useful with tweaking strategy variations, because many orders are placed at rounded levels and tend to act as strong price barriers.
There are multiple rounding methods: round, ceil/floor, roundn (decimal) and rounding to the minimal tick.
The next feature is a powerful extension called "Cooldown rounding":
Pivot cooldown rounding
This rounds new pivot levels for a cooldown period to keep the previous pivot line instead of adding a new line when they match the rounded value within the cooldown period. The existing line will be extended. This feature is useful because it makes sure the initial line is added to the exact high/low pivot level but any future lines within the rounding will just extend the existing line. This limits the number of pivots while still having precise levels (which normal rounding lacks) and allows more precise pivot trading.
This feature also helps ensure that the number of rendered lines will not exceed 500 too much, which is the render limit on TradingView.
You can set a maximum minutes for the cooldown. The default is 3 years which will enable the cooldown rounding permanently on the intraday (due to the max bar limit).
Pivot always added when new higher/lower pivot
When using cooldown rounding, one may find it useful to override this behavior when a new lower or higher pivot level has been reached. When enabled the new level will be added despite the fact that they may be rounded the same in the cooldown check. This is a good balance between limiting pivots but also allowing preciser trading.
VWAP bands multiplier
This is used to tweak the inner VWAP working for the upper and lower band. The default VWAP multiplier (0.9) is set based on backtesting since it performed better on historic data (the strategy does not trade below the lowerband). When you add the VWAP indicator from the TradingView library to the chart, make sure it uses the same multiplier setting as within this strategy so you have a correct view of the conditions the strategy acts on.
ATR EMA smoothing length
Used to tweak the ATR EMA smoothing. By default it is set up to 4 based on deep backtesting historic data.
EMA lengths
Changing the EMA length allows you to fine tune the EMA crossing behavior. By default the strategy is set up to EMA 9 and 20 which are considered commonly used values on the 2-minute chart.
Trading intraday time restrictions
For intraday charts you can configure when the strategy starts trading after market open and when it stops, including a hard sell. This makes sure there are no open positions left for the day during backtesting and can also aid in your trading style. For example some scalpers will not trade in the first two hours. Having no signals during this time can be beneficial. It is possible to configure these settings based on the number of bars or minutes.
Not trading on days the market closes earlier
By default the strategy does not trade on days the market closes earlier in the US. This makes sure there are no open positions left open during backtesting. Make sure to change it when using it on such a day. The days are: day before independence day, day after thanksgiving, Christmas eve and new years eve.
Not trading below VWAP lowerband
Backtesting has shown poor performance when trading below the VWAP lowerband but you are free to allow it to trade in such conditions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Minimum volume
A minimum volume can be set up. The current value is based on better deep backtest results for SPY using real-time data (48000). When you do not have a data plan for SPY, please set it to 0 and tweak based on backtests.
Minimum ATRP
The strategy has shown during my trading that it is sensitive to higher ATRP values and more volatile market conditions. There is more chance the index moves and we can profit from this during option scalping (if it moves in your favor). The default is based on SPY backtesting (0.04%), as a balance to have a lot of trades but also capture minimal movement.
RSI range
A RSI range can be set using a minimum and maximum value so we can limit trading during overbought/oversold conditions. Backtesting for SPY has shown the strategy performs better on historic data within a tighter range, so a default range has been set to 40-65.
Allow orders on every tick (no effect on stop/profit/trail)
This setting is used to allow orders on every tick. The strategy has been developed without trading on every tick but you can change this, for example when you have configured a setup different than the default configuration that you know works well with this. The default setup will not work well with it due to too many constant signals.
Stop percentage + ATRP threshold
One of the most important settings for managing the risk. I recommend setting a stop percentage first and later the ATRP threshold where the stop is calculated based on the current ATRP value. The calculated value will only be in effect when it is greater than the normal stop--the normal stop acts as baseline. The default stop is low (0.03). With a default ATRP threshold stop of 1.12, the calculated value overrules the normal stop when the value is greater. 0.03 acts as a minimum value but in reality the stop will most likely be higher on average for SPY with the default ATRP threshold.
For the default SPY setup the losses will be around 4-10% for ITM options. Be mindful of extreme volatile conditions where losses may reach 30% quickly, especially when trading ATM/OTM options.
Profit taker percentage + ATRP threshold
Same principles as the stop percentage above, but for profit taking. There is a very high ATRP threshold of 4 set by default. Backtests showed that trailing stops perform better on historic data.
Trailing stop
Used to set up a trailing stop. A useful feature to secure profit after a run-up, or get out with a small loss after initial activation. It is important to not use too tight values because they will give unrealistic backtest results and trigger too fast in real-time. Both the trail activation level and trail stop itself can be configured with a percentage value and ATRP value. I recommend setting up the ATRP last. By default the values are 0.05 for activation and 0.03 for the stop based on SPY real-time behavior.
Always sell on pivot crossunder confirmation
The strategy includes pivot crossunder confirmations as sell condition. By default it will not sell on every crossunder confirmation but checks for different conditions (explained in detail earlier in this description). You can change this behavior.
Always sell below first EMA when position has been above
The strategy sells below the first EMA when the position has been above it. By default it will not always sell but checks for different conditions (mentioned earlier in this description). You can change this behavior.
Buy modes pivot
By default the strategy buys between pivots as long as there has been a pivot crossover and EMAs crossover recently or price is still above it. You can change the behavior so it only buys on pivot crossovers or pivot crossover confirmations. Backtesting on the default setup shows decreased performance but for other strategy variations and pivot setups this feature can be useful since many scalpers do not buy between pivots.
Strict mode
There is a strict mode that adds extra checks such as not trading when there is no next low or high pivot, requiring a VWAP uptrend only and minimum candle percentages. This mode is for analyzing history and seeing performance during these conditions. It is worth it to create a separate alert for strict mode so you are aware of these conditions during trading. The deep backtests improved with these setting but past performance does not guarantee future results.
In the strict mode section you can override the stop, minimum ATRP, set up a minimum percentage, only trade VWAP uptrends and to not trade candles without a wick.
A summary and some extra detail
At the time of release only long trades are supported
The strategy is meant for quick scalping but one might find other uses for it
Enable extended hours on intraday charts so it captures more pivots
It does not trade extended hours (pre and post market) since options do not trade during those times
real-time data is recommended and required if a symbol has delayed data by default
You can configure that it trades minutes after market open and hard sells minutes after market open
The entries have a specific label text, example: "833 LE1 / 569.71 / P:569.8". This means: / / . The condition number is only for development/debug purposes for me when you have an issue.
The strategy cannot be tweaked to work on multiple symbols and timeframes with a single config. So you will have to make a config for every timeframe and symbol. I recommend using the Indicator Templates feature of TradingView. This way you can save the settings per timeframe and symbol
The strategy is per default config very dependent on (trailing) stops because it trades between pivots too. It wants that a pivot and EMA crossover has happened more recently than a crossunder. But you can change this behavior to always force crossover buys and crossunder sells.
It’s recommended to set up alerts to notify you of entry and exit signals. Watching the chart alone might cause you to miss trades, especially in fast-moving markets.
Only a max of 500 lines can be rendered on the chart, but the strategy will function with more under the hood. When you exceed 500 you will notice the beginning of the chart has no pivots, but beneath everything functions for backtesting.
Changing settings
Changing the settings for a different symbol and/or timeframe can be a challenging task. Here's a how-to you could use the first time to help you get going:
Set commission and slippage to 0. I prefer to do this so it is more clear whether you are balancing on break-even trades
Enable the pivot timeframe equal or above your chart timeframe. Avoid repainting as discussed earlier by choosing timeframes that align with the same timeframe
Set all volume, ATR, stop, profit takers and trail values to 0
Make sure strict mode is disabled at the bottom of the settings
You now have a clean state and you should see the backtest results purely based on pivot and EMA conditions
Tweak the stop and profit taker, beginning with the simple values and then ATRP threshold
At the last moment tweak the trailing stops. Tight trailing stops create an unrealistic backtest so you will need to tweak them based on real-time behavior of the symbol you're using which you will have to monitor during signals while the market is open. The default values are low (2m intraday SPY). Only with the bar magnifier feature it is somewhat possible to tweak realistic with history data. The tighter they are, the more unrealistic your backtest results. As a starting point, set the trailing stop low and find the highest activation level that doesn't change the results drastically, then increase the stop to the value you think reflects real-time behavior.
Keep refining by testing it during real-time behavior. Does it exit too early according to your own judgment? You need to increase the stop and maybe the activation level.
I hope you will find this useful!
