TA Basics: further "Steps" with our Moving AverageSo far in this series of posts, we have worked thru creating a basic zero-lag moving average, then moved forward all the way to coding a "Fibonacci" Weighted Moving Average.
in this post we take a look at a technique that can help traders minimize noise in the underlying data and get better insight on the changes that are happening in the data series represented by the moving average. we'll look at adding "stepping" to our Fibonacci Moving Average as an example. we introduce the Stepping Fibonacci Moving Average , or Step_FiMA
note that you can use the same technique with any plot you may have. feel free to copy or leverage the relevant parts of the script - the script is commented to make this easier.
How is this useful?
==================
with "stepping", you get your indicator to "round" the outcome into pre-specified bands or ranges. this works very similar to how, for example, range or Renko charts work. you can easily see the difference in the chart above once we look at a non-stepped and a stepping moving average of the same length side-by-side
the more granular your timeframe is, you will see the effect of the stepping clearer - here's how the same chart looks when we go into the 1-hr aggregation
Notes about this script
====================
there are couple of pieces i wanted to highlight in the script if you plan to use some of it :
1 - the step(x) function is meant to try to automatically pick the best "suitable" step size based on the range of the underlying series (for example, the closing price). these ranges i included here in the code are just my own "best choices" - you are totally welcome to adjust these ranges and the resulting step size to your own preference
2 - we applied the stepping as a user-choice. user can choose a manual entry, or "0" to get the code to automatically pick the step size, or enter -1 (or actually any value below zero) to cancel the stepping option altogether - this gives us some flexibility on how to use the stepping in an indicator
3 - very important (and somehow confusing): on the "rounding" approach:
the magic math formula that actually creates the stepping is this one
result = round(input / step) * step
now, this tells the script to "round" the result up or down (the basic rounding) -- so for example, a price of 17 with a step of 5 would be rounded (down) to 15, where as a price of 18 would be rounded "up" to 20 -- this is not the way some of us would expect or want, cause the price never reached 20 and they would want an 18 to still be rounded to 15 - and the stepping line not to show 20 *until* the price actually hits or exceeds 20 -- in that case, you would need to replace the function "round" with the function "floor" --
so the new formula becomes: floor(input / step) * step
-- in an ideal world, we can make this rounding choice a user-option in the settings -- maybe in an improved version
4 - we kept the smoothing option, and it takes place before the stepping is applied - we continue to use that smoothing to further minimize the level changes in the FiMA line.
I hope you find this script useful in your journey with technical analysis and DIY scripting, and good luck in your trading.

BTC and ETH Long strategy - version 1I will start with a small introduction about myself. I'm now trading cryto currencies manually for almost 2 years. I decided to start after watching a documentary on the TV showing people who made big money during the Bitcoin pump which happened at the end of 2017.
The next day, I asked myself "Why should I not give it a try and learn how to trade".
This was in February 2018 and the price of Bitcoin was around 11500USD.
I didn't know how to trade. In fact, I didn't know the trading industry at all.
So, my first step into trading was to open an account with a broken. Then I directly bought 200$ worst of BTC . At that time, I saw the graph and thought "This can only go back in the upward direction!" :)
I didn't know anything about Stop loss, Take profit and Risk management.
Today, almost 2 years after, I think that I know how to trade and can also confirm that I still hold this bag of 200$ of bitcoin from 2018 :)
I did spend the 2 last years to learn technical analysis , risk management and leverage trading.
Today (14/05/2020), I know what I'm doing and I'm happy to see that the 2 last years have been positive in terms of gains. Of course, I did not make crazy money with my saving but at least I made more than if I would have kept it in my bank account.
Even if I like trading, I have a full time job which requires my full energy and lots of focus, so, the biggest problem I had is that I didn't have enough time to look at the charts.
Also, I realized that sometimes, neither technical analysis , nor fundamentals worked with crypto currency (at least for short time trading). So, as I have a developer background I decided to try to have a look at algo trading.
The goal for me was neither to make complex algos nor to beat the market but just to automate my trading with simple bot catching the big waves.
I then started to take a look at TV pine script and played with it.
I did my first LONG script in February 2020 to Long the BTC Market. It has some limitations but works well enough for me for the time being. Even if the real trades will bring me half of what the back testing shows, this will still be a lot more than what I was used to win during the last 2 years with my manual trading.
So, here we are! Below you will find some details about my first LONG script. I'm happy to share it with you.
Feel free to play with it, give your comments and bring improvements to it.
But please note that it only works fine with the candle size and crypto pair that I have mentioned below. If you use other settings this algo might loose money!
- Crypto pairs : XBTUSD and ETHXBT
- Candle size: 2 Hours
- Indicator used: Volatility , MACD (12, 26, 7), SMA (100), SMA (200), EMA (20)
- Default StopLoss: -1.5%
- Entry in position if: Volatility < 2%
AND MACD moving up
AND AME (20) moving up
AND SMA (100) moving up
AND SMA (200) moving up
AND EMA (20) > SAM (100)
AND SMA (100) > SMA (200)
- Exit the postion if: Stoploss is reached
OR EMA (20) crossUnder SMA (100)
Here is a summary of the results for this script:
XBTUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +107%
ETHXBT : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +39%
ETHUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +112%
It is far away from being perfect. There are still plenty of things which can be done to improve it but I just wanted to share it :) .
Enjoy playing with it....

Average Candle Length 2.0This script will tell you the following:
• Average length of all the candles (wick to wick) for the last 20 candles
-- shown in blue
• Average length of bull (green) candles (wick to wick) for the last 20 candles

• Average length of bear (red) candles (wick to wick) for the last 20 candles
-- shown in red
___________________________________________
Inputs:
• # of Candles to analyze (default = 20)
Pivot trend indicatorThis is a LAGGING indicator which can provide a good indication of trend. It require a certain (configurable) number of candles to have closed before it can determine whether a pivot has formed.
It provides a 20 period SMA for the timeframe of your choice which is color coded to show the trend according to confirmed pivots.
Anticipated usage:
Long / Short bias is determined by pivot trend
Trader seeks entries according to their strategy
Black consolidation areas may trigger a re-evaluation of the trade and can serve as good profit taking areas
The SMA colors:
Green -> Higher highs & Higher lows
Red -> Lower highs & Lowers lows
Black -> No clear trend from the pivots
Why the 20 SMA?
Feel free to adjust it for your purposes. I personally find that using a higher time frame 20 SMA is a better indication of trend than longer period MAs on shorter time frames. This can be seen from comparing the 20 daily SMA and 200 hourly SMA.
Pivot adjustment
The pivots use the selected time frame (not) the MA trend time frame. You can specify the left and right candles required to confirm a pivot
VIX reversion-Buschi
English:
A significant intraday reversion (commonly used: 3 points) on a high (over 20 points) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) can be a sign of a market bottom, because there is the assumption that some of the "big guys" liquidated their options / insurances because the worst is over.
This indicator shows these reversions (3 points as default) when the VIX was over 20 points. The character "R" is then shown directly over the daily column, the VIX need not to be loaded explicitly.
Deutsch:
Eine deutliche Intraday-Umkehr (3 Punkte im Normalfall) bei einem hohen (über 20 Punkte) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) kann ein Zeichen für eine Bodenbildung im Markt sein, weil möglicherweise einige "große Jungs" ihre Optionen / Versicherungen auflösen, weil das schlimmste vorbei ist.
Dieser Indikator zeigt diese Umkehr (Standardwert: 3 Punkte), wenn der VIX vorher über 20 Punkte lag. Der Buchstabe "R" wird dabei direkt über dem Tagesbalken angezeigt, wobei der VIX nicht explizit geladen werden muss.
Triple Moving Average HeatmapHi everyone
I didn't publish on Friday because I was working on an Expert Advisor in MT4. The day I don't publish, some scripts spamming guys published many (not useful) scripts the same to kick me out of the TOP #1 ranking.
So what I'm going to do about it? crying or sharing more quality scripts than before? :)
I guess you know the answer :) I'm gonna share a few quality scripts that I have in my library. I noticed that you guys tend to like more the scripts useful for your trading actually making you money rather than a copy-paste (of another copy-paste)
Alright, enough for the trolling now let's introduce the Three MA heatmap which is an upgrade of that script : MA-heatmap-Double-cross-edition/
The challenge was to keep the heatmap not rolling and to make it match with the MA cross. I did it using this
```
since_ma_buy = barssince(macrossover)
since_ma_sell = barssince(macrossunder)
heatmap_color() =>
since_ma_buy < since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.green, 20) : since_ma_buy > since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
This is a technique that I found after drinking three glasses of red wine (#french) to keep the heatmap stable and not rolling.
To get what I'm saying I invite you to replace the piece of code above by what everyone would normally do
```
heatmap_color() =>
macrossunder() ? color.new(color.green, 20) : macrossover() ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
Ah and I'm not done sharing for the day, a few scripts are coming also after that one and tonight !!!!! I want to live in a world where you guys can enjoy quality scripts (mostly) :)

The 6 Line Death PunchIf you are looking to discover what trend you are in, you need to first what direction the price is going in...
I've been using and testing a mixture of EMA's and SMA's for a long time and I've found that these ones are by far the best.
EMA 3
EMA 8
MA 20
EMA 55
MA 100
MA 200
EMA 3 & 8 Crossover is a good method for confirming a coin going to the upside or to the downside.
EMA 8 is known as the Trigger Line (trademarked brand) as one of the fib numbers it shows good support or resistance of a trend.
MA 20 universal way of seeing trend direction in the stock market, works well with crypto too.
EMA 55, another trusty fib number. Works very well and could trade off that alone as support and resistance.
MA 100 and MA 200. Long ranged moving averages which govern the overall longer-term trend.
LONG ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles above EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles above MA 20
Option 4 - Candles Above EMA 55.
SHORT ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles below EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles below MA 20
Option 4 - Candles below EMA 55.
Signals for call and putSorry for the Google Translate English
Indicator for signals of call and put, using Bollinger bands (period 20, standard deviation 2.5), market trend of (sma, períod 100) and stochastic (period 20, %D 3).
I was overthrown but in pine scrip, the function "stoch()" no way to smooth (3). If anyone knows how to smooth inside the script, help me! Please.
With smoothed stochastic the hit rate grows a lot.

MG - Multiple Moving Averages & Candle Wick Alerts - 1.0Features:
- Each moving average has customizable length, type and source
- The ability to change the source of all moving averages with one input (changing an individual MA source will override the general for that MA)
- At a glance comparison of 20 SMA and 20 VWMA to gauge volume trend
- Wick alerts which can be toggled for each moving average.
- Bullish wick alerts are when the wick is the only part of the candle to drop below the moving average
- Bearish wick alerts are when the wick is the only part of the candle to reach above the moving average
- Simple candle closed alert if you want a notification, for example each hour.
Defaults: Four SMAs (20, 50, 100, 200) and a 20 VWMA .
Recommended Usage:
- Set the general source (sets the source of all moving averages) to 'low' when in an uptrend and 'high' in a downtrend to maximize Risk : Reward.
- Use Fibonacci levels, oscillators .etc for confluence
NOTE: The moving average component of this indicator is the same as the previous indicator ()

- Add alerts option so that it send alert on crossing up or down any alert lines.
XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):
BEKB(Bekaert): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=44, Strength-Buy=65, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=55, Strength-Sell=120, Stop#ATR=20
NetProfit: 996%, #Trades: 6, %Profitable: 83%, Buy&HoldProfit: 78%
BAR(Barco): EMA-Buy=16, SMA-Buy=80, Strength-Buy=44, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=82, Stop#ATR=9
NetProfit: 385%, #Trades: 7, %Profitable: 71%, Buy&HoldProfit: 55%
AAPL(Apple): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=40, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=106, Stop#ATR=8
NetProfit: 6900%, #Trades: 7, %Profitable: 71%, Buy&HoldProfit: 2938%
TNET(Telenet): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=27, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=70, Stop#ATR=14

Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) [KedArc Quant]Description:
Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) trades with the latest confirmed Supply/Demand zone using a single, configurable Fib pullback (0.3/0.5/0.6). Trade only in the direction of the most recent zone and use a single, configurable fib level for pullback entries.
• Detects market structure via confirmed swing highs/lows using a rolling window.
• Draws Supply/Demand zones (bearish/bullish rectangles) from the latest MSS (CHOCH or BOS) event.
• Computes intra zone Fib guide rails and keeps them extended in real time.
• Triggers BUY only inside bullish zones and SELL only inside bearish zones when price touches the selected fib and closes back beyond it (bounce confirmation).
• Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + fib next to the triangle markers.
What it does
Finds structure using confirmed swing highs/lows (you choose the confirmation length).
Builds the latest zone (bullish = demand, bearish = supply) after a CHOCH/BOS event.
Draws intra-zone “guide rails” (Fib lines) and extends them live.
Signals only with the trend of that zone:
BUY inside a bullish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back above it.
SELL inside a bearish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back below it.
Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + Fib next to triangles for quick context
Why this is different
Most “zone + fib + signal” tools bolt together several indicators, or fire counter-trend signals because they don’t fully respect structure. TFZB is intentionally minimal:
Single bias source: the latest confirmed zone defines direction; nothing else overrides it.
Single entry rule: one Fib bounce (0.3/0.5/0.6 selectable) inside that zone—no counter-trend trades by design.
Clean visuals: you can show only the most recent zone, clamp overlap, and keep just the rails that matter.
Deterministic & transparent: every plot/label comes from the code you see—no external series or hidden smoothing
How it helps traders
Cuts decision noise: you always know the bias and the only entry that matters right now.
Forces discipline: if price isn’t inside the active zone, you don’t trade.
Adapts to volatility: pick 0.3 in strong trends, 0.5 as the default, 0.6 in chop.
Non-repainting zones: swings are confirmed after Structure Length bars, then used to build zones that extend forward (they don’t “teleport” later)
How it works (details)
*Structure confirmation
A swing high/low is only confirmed after Structure Length bars have elapsed; the dot is plotted back on the original bar using offset. Expect a confirmation delay of about Structure Length × timeframe.
*Zone creation
After a CHOCH/BOS (momentum shift / break of prior swing), TFZB draws the new Supply/Demand zone from the swing anchors and sets it active.
*Fib guide rails
Inside the active zone TFZB projects up to five Fib lines (defaults: 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7) and extends them as time passes.
*Entry logic (with-trend only)
BUY: bar’s low ≤ fib and close > fib inside a bullish zone.
SELL: bar’s high ≥ fib and close < fib inside a bearish zone.
*Optionally restrict to one signal per zone to avoid over-trading.
(Optional) Aggressive confirm-bar entry
When do the swing dots print?
* The code confirms a swing only after `structureLen` bars have elapsed since that candidate high/low.
* On a 5-min chart with `structureLen = 10`, that’s about 50 minutes later.
* When the swing confirms, the script plots the dot back on the original bar (via `offset = -structureLen`). So you *see* the dot on the old bar, but it only appears on the chart once the confirming bar arrives.
> Practical takeaway: expect swing markers to appear roughly `structureLen × timeframe` later. Zones and signals are built from those confirmed swings.
Best timeframe for this Indicator
Use the timeframe that matches your holding period and the noise level of the instrument:
* Intraday :
* 5m or 15m are the sweet spots.
* Suggested `structureLen`:
* 5m: 10–14 (confirmation delay \~50–70 min)
* 15m: 8–10 (confirmation delay \~2–2.5 hours)
* Keep Entry Fib at 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in strong trends, 0.6 in chop.
* Tip: avoid the first 10–15 minutes after the open; let the initial volatility set the early structure.
* Swing/overnight:
* 1h or 4h.
* `structureLen`:
* 1h: 6–10 (6–10 hours confirmation)
* 4h: 5–8 (20–32 hours confirmation)
* 1m scalping: not recommended here—the confirmation lag relative to the noise makes zones less reliable.
Inputs (all groups)
Structure
• Show Swing Points (structureTog)
o Plots small dots on the bar where a swing point is confirmed (offset back by Structure Length).
• Structure Length (structureLen)
o Lookback used to confirm swing highs/lows and determine local structure. Higher = fewer, stronger swings; lower = more reactive.
Zones
• Show Last (zoneDispNum)
o Maximum number of zones kept on the chart when Display All Zones is off.
• Display All Zones (dispAll)
o If on, ignores Show Last and keeps all zones/levels.
• Zone Display (zoneFilter): Bullish Only / Bearish Only / Both
o Filters which zone types are drawn and eligible for signals.
• Clean Up Level Overlap (noOverlap)
o Prevents fib lines from overlapping when a new zone starts near the previous one (clamps line start/end times for readability).
Fib Levels
Each row controls whether a fib is drawn and how it looks:
• Toggle (f1Tog…f5Tog): Show/hide a given fib line.
• Level (f1Lvl…f5Lvl): Numeric ratio in . Defaults active: 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 (0 and 1 off by default).
• Line Style (f1Style…f5Style): Solid / Dashed / Dotted.
• Bull/Bear Colors (f#BullColor, f#BearColor): Per-fib color in bullish vs bearish zones.
Style
• Structure Color: Dot color for confirmed swing points.
• Bullish Zone Color / Bearish Zone Color: Rectangle fills (transparent by default).
Signals
• Entry Fib for Signals (entryFibSel): Choose 0.3, 0.5 (default), or 0.6 as the trigger line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles triangle markers on/off.
• One Signal Per Zone (oneSignalPerZone): If on, suppresses additional entries within the same zone after the first trigger.
• Show Signal Text Labels (Bull/Bear + Fib) (showSignalLabels): Adds a small label next to each triangle showing zone bias and the fib used (e.g., BULL 0.5 or BEAR 0.3).
How TFZB decides signals
With trend only:
• BUY
1. Latest active zone is bullish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone (between top and bottom).
3. The bar’s low ≤ selected fib and it closes > selected fib (bounce).
• SELL
1. Latest active zone is bearish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone.
3. The bar’s high ≥ selected fib and it closes < selected fib.
Markers & labels
• BUY: triangle up below the bar; optional label “BULL 0.x” above it.
• SELL: triangle down above the bar; optional label “BEAR 0.x” below it.
Right-Panel Swing Log (Table)
What it is
A compact, auto-updating log of the most recent Swing High/Low events, printed in the top-right of the chart.
It helps you see when a pivot formed, when it was confirmed, and at what price—so you know the earliest bar a zone-based signal could have appeared.
Columns
Type – Swing High or Swing Low.
Date – Calendar date of the swing bar (follows the chart’s timezone).
Swing @ – Time of the original swing bar (where the dot is drawn).
Confirm @ – Time of the bar that confirmed that swing (≈ Structure Length × timeframe after the swing). This is also the earliest moment a new zone/entry can be considered.
Price – The swing price (high for SH, low for SL).
Why it’s useful
Clarity on repaint/confirmation: shows the natural delay between a swing forming and being usable—no guessing.
Planning & journaling: quick reference of today’s pivots and prices for notes/backtesting.
Scanning intraday: glance to see if you already have a confirmed zone (and therefore valid fib-bounce entries), or if you’re still waiting.
Context for signals: if a fib-bounce triangle appears before the time listed in Confirm @, it’s not a valid trade (you were too early).
Settings (Inputs → Logging)
Log swing times / Show table – turn the table on/off.
Rows to keep – how many recent entries to display.
Show labels on swing bar – optional tags on the chart (“Swing High 11:45”, “Confirm SH 14:15”) that match the table.
Recommended defaults
• Structure Length: 10–20 for intraday; 20–40 for swing.
• Entry Fib for Signals: 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in stronger trends and 0.6 in choppier markets.
• One Signal Per Zone: ON (prevents over trading).
• Zone Display: Both.
• Fib Lines: Keep 0.3/0.5/0.7 on; turn on 0 and 1 only if you need anchors.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
• BUY signal – fires when a with trend bullish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bullish zone.
• SELL signal – fires when a with trend bearish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bearish zone.
Create alerts from the chart’s Alerts panel and select the desired condition. Use Once Per Bar Close to avoid intrabar flicker.
Notes & tips
• Swing dots are confirmed only after Structure Length bars, so they plot back in time; zones built from these confirmed swings do not repaint (though they extend as new bars form).
• If you don’t see a BUY where you expect one, check: (1) Is the active zone bullish? (2) Did the candle’s low actually pierce the selected fib and close above it? (3) Is One Signal Per Zone suppressing a second entry?
• You can hide visual clutter by reducing Show Last to 1–3 while keeping Display All Zones off.
Glossary
• CHOCH (Change of Character): A shift where price breaks beyond the last opposite swing while local momentum flips.
• BOS (Break of Structure): A cleaner break beyond the prior swing level in the current momentum direction.
• MSS: Either CHOCH or BOS – any event that spawns a new zone.
Extension ideas (optional)
• Add fib extensions (1.272 / 1.618) for target lines.
• Zone quality score using ATR normalization to filter weak impulses.
• HTF filter to only accept zones aligned with a higher timeframe trend.

BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
## INPUT PARAMETERS:
### Channel Settings:
- **Nested Channels**: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel
- **Normalization Length**: Lookback for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)

### Scalping Settings:
- **Enable Long Scalps**: Toggle long alert generation on/off
- **Enable Short Scalps**: Toggle short alert generation on/off
- **Entry Zone % from Edge**: Size of entry zone (5-50%, default 20%)
- **SL Offset (Ticks)**: Distance beyond channel for stop (1+, default 5)
- **Cooldown Period (Bars)**: Minimum spacing between alerts (0 = no cooldown)
### ATR Filter:
- **Enable ATR Filter**: Toggle volatility filter on/off
- **ATR Timeframe**: Source timeframe for ATR (1, 5, 15, 60 min, etc.)
- **ATR Length**: Smoothing period (1-100, default 14)
- **Min ATR Value**: Threshold for alert enablement (0.1+, default 10.0)
### Take Profit Settings:
- **TP Method**: Choose Fixed Points or % of Channel
- **TP Fixed (Ticks)**: Static distance in ticks (1+, default 30)
- **TP % of Channel**: Dynamic target as channel percentage (10-100%, default 50%)
### Appearance:

## VISUAL INDICATORS:
- **Channel boxes** with semi-transparent fill showing consolidation zones
- **Colored entry zones** labeled "LONG ZONE ▲" and "SHORT ZONE ▼"
- **Entry signal arrows** below/above bars marking long/short alerts
- **TP/SL reference lines** with emoji labels (⊕ Entry, 🎯 TP, 🛑 SL)
- **Info table** showing channel status, last signal, entry/TP/SL prices, risk/reward ratio, and ATR filter status
- **Visual confirmation** when alerts fire via on-chart markers synchronized with notifications
## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator provides signals for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Alerts are not guaranteed to be profitable and should be combined with your own analysis. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Always verify alerts against current market conditions before executing trades manually.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This indicator is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based alert generation, comprehensive alert condition system with customizable notifications, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, cooldown period for alert management, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), visual TP/SL reference lines, and real-time status monitoring table. This indicator version is specifically designed for manual traders who prefer alert-based decision making over automated execution.

This is an automated mean reversion trading strategy that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and executes scalp trades when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. Unlike breakout strategies, this system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, taking profits as price bounces back from extremes. Position sizing is fully customizable with three methods: fixed contracts, percentage of equity, or fixed dollar amount. Stop losses are placed just outside channel boundaries with take profits calculated either as fixed points or as a percentage of channel range.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This strategy is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Version**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the scalper ideal for active day traders who want continuous opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased trade frequency also means higher commission costs and requires tighter risk management.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The strategy normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The strategy tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The strategy uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. This captures mean reversion opportunities as price reaches channel extremes.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents signal spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long signal will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The strategy includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid trading during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while trading on 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Trading enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No signals fire
This prevents entries during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement.
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. Larger percentages aim for opposite channel edge.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are placed just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. If price breaks through, the range is no longer valid and position exits.
### Trade Execution Logic:
When entry conditions are met (price in zone, cooldown satisfied, ATR filter passed, no existing position):
1. Calculate entry price at zone boundary
2. Calculate TP and SL based on selected method
3. Execute strategy.entry() with calculated position size
4. Place strategy.exit() with TP limit and SL stop orders
5. Update info table with active trade details
The strategy enforces one position at a time by checking strategy.position_size == 0 before entry.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
### Position Sizing System:
Three methods calculate position size:
**Fixed Contracts**:
- Uses exact contract quantity specified in settings
- Best for futures traders (e.g., "trade 2 NQ contracts")
**Percentage of Equity**:
- position_size = (strategy.equity × equity_pct / 100) / close
- Dynamically scales with account growth
**Cash Amount**:
- position_size = cash_amount / close
- Maintains consistent dollar exposure regardless of price
## INPUT PARAMETERS:

- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars
- Position Size: 1-2 contracts
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- Position Size: Fixed contracts or 5-10% equity

- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- Position Size: % of equity recommended
## BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
- Strategy performs best in ranging, mean-reverting markets
- Strong trending markets produce more stop losses as price breaks channels
- ATR filter significantly reduces trade count but improves quality during low volatility
- Cooldown period trades signal quantity for signal quality
- Commission and slippage materially impact sub-5-minute timeframe performance
- Shorter timeframes require tighter entry zones (15-20%) to catch quick reversions
- % of Channel TP adapts better to varying channel sizes than fixed points
- Fixed contract sizing recommended for consistent risk per trade in futures
**Backtesting Parameters Used**: This strategy was developed and tested using realistic commission and slippage values to provide accurate performance expectations. Recommended settings: Commission of $1.40 per side (typical for NQ futures through discount brokers), slippage of 2 ticks to account for execution delays on fast-moving scalp entries. These values reflect real-world trading costs that active scalpers will encounter. Backtest results without proper cost simulation will significantly overstate profitability.
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features require data feed with volume information but are optional for core functionality.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- Immediate touch entry can fire multiple times in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- ATR filter from lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription (request.security limitation)
- Mean reversion logic fails in strong breakout scenarios leading to stop loss hits
- Position sizing via % of equity or cash amount calculates based on close price, may differ from actual fill price
- No partial closing capability - full position exits at TP or SL only
- Strategy does not account for gap openings or overnight holds
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This strategy is for educational purposes and backtesting only. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Automated trading systems can malfunction - monitor all live positions actively.

BOCS AdaptiveBOCS Adaptive Strategy - Automated Volatility Breakout System
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated trading strategy that detects consolidation patterns through volatility analysis and executes trades when price breaks out of these channels. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to current market volatility. The strategy closes positions partially at the first profit target and exits the remainder at the second target or stop loss.
TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
Price Normalization Process:
The strategy begins by normalizing price to create a consistent measurement scale. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). The current close price is then normalized using the formula: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low). This produces values between 0 and 1, allowing volatility analysis to work consistently across different instruments and price levels.
Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series. Standard deviation measures how much prices deviate from their average - higher values indicate volatility expansion, lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() functions to track when volatility reaches peaks and troughs over the detection length period (default 14 bars).
Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level, this signals the beginning of a consolidation phase. The strategy records this moment using ta.crossover(upper, lower) and begins tracking the highest and lowest prices during the consolidation. These become the channel boundaries. The duration between the crossover and current bar must exceed 10 bars minimum to avoid false channels from brief volatility spikes. Channels are drawn using box objects with the recorded high/low boundaries.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Two detection modes are available:
Strong Closes Mode (default): Breakout occurs when the candle body midpoint math.avg(close, open) exceeds the channel boundary. This filters out wick-only breaks.
Any Touch Mode: Breakout occurs when the close price exceeds the boundary.
When price closes above the upper channel boundary, a bullish breakout signal generates. When price closes below the lower boundary, a bearish breakout signal generates. The channel is then removed from the chart.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
The strategy uses request.security() to fetch ATR values from a specified timeframe, which can differ from the chart timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, you can use 1-minute ATR for more responsive calculations. The ATR is calculated using ta.atr(length) with a user-defined period (default 14).
Exit levels are calculated at the moment of breakout:
Long Entry Price = Upper channel boundary
Long TP1 = Entry + (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Long TP2 = Entry + (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Long SL = Entry - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
For short trades, the calculation inverts:
Short Entry Price = Lower channel boundary
Short TP1 = Entry - (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Short TP2 = Entry - (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Short SL = Entry + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Trade Execution Logic:
When a breakout occurs, the strategy checks if trading hours filter is satisfied (if enabled) and if position size equals zero (no existing position). If volume confirmation is enabled, it also verifies that current volume exceeds 1.2 times the 20-period simple moving average.
If all conditions are met:
strategy.entry() opens a position using the user-defined number of contracts
strategy.exit() immediately places a stop loss order
The code monitors price against TP1 and TP2 levels on each bar
When price reaches TP1, strategy.close() closes the specified number of contracts (e.g., if you enter with 3 contracts and set TP1 close to 1, it closes 1 contract). When price reaches TP2, it closes all remaining contracts. If stop loss is hit first, the entire position exits via the strategy.exit() order.
Volume Analysis System:
The strategy uses ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(timeframe) to fetch up volume, down volume, and volume delta from a specified timeframe. Three display modes are available:
Volume Mode: Shows total volume as bars scaled relative to the 20-period average
Comparison Mode: Shows up volume and down volume as separate bars above/below the channel midline
Delta Mode: Shows net volume delta (up volume - down volume) as bars, positive values above midline, negative below
The volume confirmation logic compares breakout bar volume to the 20-period SMA. If volume ÷ average > 1.2, the breakout is classified as "confirmed." When volume confirmation is enabled in settings, only confirmed breakouts generate trades.
INPUT PARAMETERS:
Strategy Settings:
Number of Contracts: Fixed quantity to trade per signal (1-1000)
Require Volume Confirmation: Toggle to only trade signals with volume >120% of average
TP1 Close Contracts: Exact number of contracts to close at first target (1-1000)
Use Trading Hours Filter: Toggle to restrict trading to specified session
Trading Hours: Session input in HHMM-HHMM format (e.g., "0930-1600")
Main Settings:
Normalization Length: Lookback bars for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)
Box Detection Length: Period for volatility peak/trough detection (1-100, default 14)
Strong Closes Only: Toggle between body midpoint vs close price for breakout detection
Nested Channels: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel at a time
ATR TP/SL Settings:
ATR Timeframe: Source timeframe for ATR calculation (1, 5, 15, 60, etc.)
ATR Length: Smoothing period for ATR (1-100, default 14)
Take Profit 1 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 2.0)
Take Profit 2 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 3.0)
Stop Loss Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 1.0)
Enable Take Profit 2: Toggle second profit target on/off
VISUAL INDICATORS:
Channel boxes with semi-transparent fill showing consolidation zones
Green/red colored zones at channel boundaries indicating breakout areas
Volume bars displayed within channels using selected mode
TP/SL lines with labels showing both price level and distance in points
Entry signals marked with up/down triangles at breakout price
Strategy status table showing position, contracts, P&L, ATR values, and volume confirmation status
HOW TO USE:
For 2-Minute Scalping:
Set ATR Timeframe to "1" (1-minute), ATR Length to 12, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Enable volume confirmation and strong closes only. Use trading hours filter to avoid low-volume periods.
For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to match chart or use 5-minute, ATR Length to 14, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.5, SL Multiplier to 1.2. Volume confirmation recommended but optional.
For Hourly+ Swing Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to 15-30 minute, ATR Length to 14-21, TP1 Multiplier to 2.5, TP2 Multiplier to 4.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Volume confirmation optional, nested channels can be enabled for multiple setups.
BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
Strategy performs best during trending or volatility expansion phases
Consolidation-heavy or choppy markets produce more false signals
Shorter timeframes require wider stop loss multipliers due to noise
Commission and slippage significantly impact performance on sub-5-minute charts
Volume confirmation generally improves win rate but reduces trade frequency
ATR multipliers should be optimized for specific instrument characteristics
COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price and volume data including forex pairs, stock indices, individual stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities, and futures contracts. Requires TradingView data feed that includes volume for volume confirmation features to function.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Stop losses execute via strategy.exit() and may not fill at exact levels during gaps or extreme volatility
request.security() on lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription
False breakouts inherent to breakout strategies cannot be completely eliminated
Performance varies significantly based on market regime (trending vs ranging)
Partial closing logic requires sufficient position size relative to TP1 close contracts setting
RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance of this or any strategy does not guarantee future results. This strategy is provided for educational purposes and automated backtesting. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Market conditions change and strategies that worked historically may fail in the future. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.

EvoTrend-X Indicator — Evolutionary Trend Learner ExperimentalEvoTrend-X Indicator — Evolutionary Trend Learner
NOTE: This is an experimental Pine Script v6 port of a Python prototype. Pine wasn’t the original research language, so there may be small quirks—your feedback and bug reports are very welcome. The model is non-repainting, MTF-safe (lookahead_off + gaps_on), and features an adaptive (fitness-based) candidate selector, confidence gating, and a volatility filter.
⸻
What it is
EvoTrend-X is adaptive trend indicator that learns which moving-average length best fits the current market. It maintains a small “population” of fast EMA candidates, rewards those that align with price momentum, and continuously selects the best performer. Signals are gated by a multi-factor Confidence score (fitness, strength vs. ATR, MTF agreement) and a volatility filter (ATR%). You get a clean Fast/Slow pair (for the currently best candidate), optional HTF filter, a fitness ribbon for transparency, and a themed info panel with a one-glance STATUS readout.
Core outputs
• Selected Fast/Slow EMAs (auto-chosen from candidates via fitness learning)
• Spread cross (Fast – Slow) → visual BUY/SELL markers + alert hooks
• Confidence % (0–100): Fitness ⊕ Distance vs. ATR ⊕ MTF agreement
• Gates: Trend regime (Kaufman ER), Volatility (ATR%), MTF filter (optional)
• Candidate Fitness Ribbon: shows which lengths the learner currently prefers
• Export plot: hidden series “EvoTrend-X Export (spread)” for downstream use
⸻
Why it’s different
• Evolutionary learning (on-chart): Each candidate EMA length gets rewarded if its slope matches price change and penalized otherwise, with a gentle decay so the model forgets stale regimes. The best fitness wins the right to define the displayed Fast/Slow pair.
• Confidence gate: Signals don’t light up unless multiple conditions concur: learned fitness, spread strength vs. volatility, and (optionally) higher-timeframe trend.
• Volatility awareness: ATR% filter blocks low-energy environments that cause death-by-a-thousand-whipsaws. Your “why no signal?” answer is always visible in the STATUS.
• Preset discipline, Custom freedom: Presets set reasonable baselines for FX, equities, and crypto; Custom exposes all knobs and honors your inputs one-to-one.
• Non-repainting rigor: All MTF calls use lookahead_off + gaps_on. Decisions use confirmed bars. No forward refs. No conditional ta.* pitfalls.
⸻
Presets (and what they do)
• FX 1H (Conservative): Medium candidates, slightly higher MinConf, modest ATR% floor. Good for macro sessions and cleaner swings.
• FX 15m (Active): Shorter candidates, looser MinConf, higher ATR% floor. Designed for intraday velocity and decisive sessions.
• Equities 1D: Longer candidates, gentler volatility floor. Suits index/large-cap trend waves.
• Crypto 1H: Mid-short candidates, higher ATR% floor for 24/7 chop, stronger MinConf to avoid noise.
• Custom: Your inputs are used directly (no override). Ideal for systematic tuning or bespoke assets.
⸻
How the learning works (at a glance)
1. Candidates: A small set of fast EMA lengths (e.g., 8/12/16/20/26/34). Slow = Fast × multiplier (default ×2.0).
2. Reward/decay: If price change and the candidate’s Fast slope agree (both up or both down), its fitness increases; otherwise decreases. A decay constant slowly forgets the distant past.
3. Selection: The candidate with highest fitness defines the displayed Fast/Slow pair.
4. Signal engine: Crosses of the spread (Fast − Slow) across zero mark potential regime shifts. A Confidence score and gates decide whether to surface them.
⸻
Controls & what they mean
Learning / Regime
• Slow length = Fast ×: scales the Slow EMA relative to each Fast candidate. Larger multiplier = smoother regime detection, fewer whipsaws.
• ER length / threshold: Kaufman Efficiency Ratio; above threshold = “Trending” background.
• Learning step, Decay: Larger step reacts faster to new behavior; decay sets how quickly the past is forgotten.
Confidence / Volatility gate
• Min Confidence (%): Minimum score to show signals (and fire alerts). Raising it filters noise; lowering it increases frequency.
• ATR length: The ATR window for both the ATR% filter and strength normalization. Shorter = faster, but choppier.
• Min ATR% (percent): ATR as a percentage of price. If ATR% < Min ATR% → status shows BLOCK: low vola.
MTF Trend Filter
• Use HTF filter / Timeframe / Fast & Slow: HTF Fast>Slow for longs, Fast threshold; exit when spread flips or Confidence decays below your comfort zone.
2) FX index/majors, 15m (active intraday)
• Preset: FX 15m (Active).
• Gate: MinConf 60–70; Min ATR% 0.15–0.30.
• Flow: Focus on session opens (LDN/NY). The ribbon should heat up on shorter candidates before valid crosses appear—good early warning.
3) SPY / Index futures, 1D (positioning)
• Preset: Equities 1D.
• Gate: MinConf 55–65; Min ATR% 0.05–0.12.
• Flow: Use spread crosses as regime flags; add timing from price structure. For adds, wait for ER to remain trending across several bars.
4) BTCUSD, 1H (24/7)
• Preset: Crypto 1H.
• Gate: MinConf 70–80; Min ATR% 0.20–0.35.
• Flow: Crypto chops—volatility filter is your friend. When ribbon and HTF OK agree, favor continuation entries; otherwise stand down.
⸻
Reading the Info Panel (and fixing “no signals”)
The panel is your self-diagnostic:
• HTF OK? False means the higher-timeframe EMAs disagree with your intended side.
• Regime: If “Chop”, ER < threshold. Consider raising the threshold or waiting.
• Confidence: Heat-colored; if below MinConf, the gate blocks signals.
• ATR% vs. Min ATR%: If ATR% < Min ATR%, status shows BLOCK: low vola.
• STATUS (composite):
• BLOCK: low vola → increase Min ATR% down (i.e., allow lower vol) or wait for expansion.
• BLOCK: HTF filter → disable HTF or align with the HTF tide.
• BLOCK: confidence → lower MinConf slightly or wait for stronger alignment.
• OK → you’ll see markers on valid crosses.
⸻
Alerts
Two static alert hooks:
• BUY cross — spread crosses up and all gates (ER, Vol, MTF, Confidence) are open.
• SELL cross — mirror of the above.
Create them once from “Add Alert” → choose the condition by name.
⸻
Exporting to other scripts
In your other Pine indicators/strategies, add an input.source and select EvoTrend-X → “EvoTrend-X Export (spread)”. Common uses:
• Build a rule: only trade when exported spread > 0 (trend filter).
• Combine with your oscillator: oscillator oversold and spread > 0 → buy bias.
⸻
Best practices
• Let it learn: Keep Learning step moderate (0.4–0.6) and Decay close to 1.0 (e.g., 0.99–0.997) for smooth regime memory.
• Respect volatility: Tune Min ATR% by asset and timeframe. FX 1H ≈ 0.10–0.20; crypto 1H ≈ 0.20–0.35; equities 1D ≈ 0.05–0.12.
• MTF discipline: HTF filter removes lots of “almost” trades. If you prefer aggressive entries, turn it off and rely more on Confidence.
• Confidence as throttle:
• 40–60%: exploratory; expect more signals.
• 60–75%: balanced; good daily driver.
• 75–90%: selective; catch the clean stuff.
• 90–100%: only A-setups; patient mode.
• Watch the ribbon: When shorter candidates heat up before a cross, momentum is forming. If long candidates dominate, you’re in a slower trend cycle.
⸻
Non-repainting & safety notes
• All request.security() calls use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off, gaps=barmerge.gaps_on.
• No forward references; decisions rely on confirmed bar data.
• EMA lengths are simple ints (no series-length errors).
• Confidence components are computed every bar (no conditional ta.* traps).
⸻
Limitations & tips
• Chop happens: ER helps, but sideways microstructure can still flicker—use Confidence + Vol filter as brakes.
• Presets ≠ oracle: They’re sensible baselines; always tune MinConf and Min ATR% to your venue and session.
• Theme “Auto”: Pine cannot read chart theme; “Auto” defaults to a Dark-friendly palette.
