EMA Dynamic Crossover Detector with Real-Time Signal TableDescriptionWhat This Indicator Does:This indicator monitors all possible crossovers between four key exponential moving averages (20, 50, 100, and 200 periods) and displays them both visually on the chart and in an organized data table. Unlike standard EMA indicators that only plot the lines, this tool actively detects every crossover event, marks the exact crossover point with a circle, records the precise price level, and maintains a running log of all crossovers during the trading session. It's designed for traders who want comprehensive EMA crossover analysis without manually watching multiple moving average pairs.Key Features:
Four Essential EMAs: Plots 20, 50, 100, and 200-period exponential moving averages with color-coded thin lines for clean chart presentation
Complete Crossover Detection: Monitors all 6 possible EMA pair combinations (20×50, 20×100, 20×200, 50×100, 50×200, 100×200) in both directions
Precise Price Marking: Places colored circles at the exact average price where crossovers occur (not just at candle close)
Real-Time Signal Table: Displays up to 10 most recent crossovers with timestamp, direction, exact price, and signal type
Session Filtering: Only records crossovers during active trading hours (10:00-18:00 Istanbul time) to avoid noise from low-liquidity periods
Automatic Daily Reset: Clears the signal table at the start of each new trading day for fresh analysis
Built-In Alerts: Two alert conditions (bullish and bearish crossovers) that can be configured to send notifications
How It Works:The indicator calculates four exponential moving averages using the standard EMA formula, then continuously monitors for crossover events using Pine Script's ta.crossover() and ta.crossunder() functions:Bullish Crossovers (Green ▲):
When a faster EMA crosses above a slower EMA, indicating potential upward momentum:
20 crosses above 50, 100, or 200
50 crosses above 100 or 200
100 crosses above 200 (Golden Cross when it's the 50×200)
Bearish Crossovers (Red ▼):
When a faster EMA crosses below a slower EMA, indicating potential downward momentum:
20 crosses below 50, 100, or 200
50 crosses below 100 or 200
100 crosses below 200 (Death Cross when it's the 50×200)
Price Calculation:
Instead of marking crossovers at the candle's close price (which might not be where the actual cross occurred), the indicator calculates the average price between the two crossing EMAs, providing a more accurate representation of the crossover point.Signal Table Structure:The table in the top-right corner displays four columns:
Saat (Time): Exact time of crossover in HH:MM format
Yön (Direction): Arrow indicator (▲ green for bullish, ▼ red for bearish)
Fiyat (Price): Calculated average price at the crossover point
Durum (Status): Signal classification ("ALIŞ" for buy signals, "SATIŞ" for sell signals) with color-coded background
The table shows up to 10 most recent crossovers, automatically updating as new signals appear. If no crossovers have occurred during the session within the time filter, it displays "Henüz kesişim yok" (No crossovers yet).EMA Color Coding:
EMA 20 (Aqua/Turquoise): Fastest-reacting, most sensitive to recent price changes
EMA 50 (Green): Short-term trend indicator
EMA 100 (Yellow): Medium-term trend indicator
EMA 200 (Red): Long-term trend baseline, key support/resistance level
How to Use:For Day Traders:
Monitor 20×50 crossovers for quick entry/exit signals within the day
Use the time filter (10:00-18:00) to focus on high-volume trading hours
Check the signal table throughout the session to track momentum shifts
Look for confirmation: if 20 crosses above 50 and price is above EMA 200, bullish bias is stronger
For Swing Traders:
Focus on 50×200 crossovers (Golden Cross/Death Cross) for major trend changes
Use higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for more reliable signals
Wait for price to close above/below the crossover point before entering
Combine with support/resistance levels for better entry timing
For Position Traders:
Monitor 100×200 crossovers on daily/weekly charts for long-term trend changes
Use as confirmation of major market shifts
Don't react to every crossover—wait for sustained movement after the cross
Consider multiple timeframe analysis (if crossovers align on weekly and daily, signal is stronger)
Understanding EMA Hierarchies:The indicator becomes most powerful when you understand EMA relationships:Bullish Hierarchy (Strongest to Weakest):
All EMAs ascending (20 > 50 > 100 > 200): Strong uptrend
20 crosses above 50 while both are above 200: Pullback ending in uptrend
50 crosses above 200 while 20/50 below: Early trend reversal signal
Bearish Hierarchy (Strongest to Weakest):
All EMAs descending (20 < 50 < 100 < 200): Strong downtrend
20 crosses below 50 while both are below 200: Rally ending in downtrend
50 crosses below 200 while 20/50 above: Early trend reversal signal
Trading Strategy Examples:Pullback Entry Strategy:
Identify major trend using EMA 200 (price above = uptrend, below = downtrend)
Wait for pullback (20 crosses below 50 in uptrend, or above 50 in downtrend)
Enter when 20 re-crosses 50 in the trend direction
Place stop below/above the recent swing point
Exit when 20 crosses 50 against the trend again
Golden Cross/Death Cross Strategy:
Wait for 50×200 crossover (appears in the signal table)
Verify: Check if crossover occurs with increasing volume
Entry: Enter in the direction of the cross after a pullback
Stop: Place stop below/above the 200 EMA
Target: Swing high/low or when opposite crossover occurs
Multi-Crossover Confirmation:
Watch for multiple crossovers in the same direction within a short period
Example: 20×50 crossover followed by 20×100 = strengthening momentum
Enter after the second confirmation crossover
More crossovers = stronger signal but also means you're entering later
Time Filter Benefits:The 10:00-18:00 Istanbul time filter prevents recording crossovers during:
Pre-market volatility and gaps
Low-volume overnight sessions (for 24-hour markets)
After-hours erratic movements

Mickey's Breaker Engine⚡ Breaker Engine | Auto Retest + Smart R:R Targets
A precision-grade breaker-block detection system built for traders who live and breathe clean structure.
This indicator automatically detects Breaker Candles, confirms them, marks their zones, and executes intelligent retest-based entry logic — complete with Stop-Loss and Risk-to-Reward (R:R) tracking up to 3R (or any custom ratio).
🧠 Core Concept
A Breaker Block is a structural shift where price violates liquidity from a failed order block and flips the zone’s polarity — turning a former supply into demand (or vice-versa).
This script identifies those setups automatically, confirms them only after a valid structure break, and waits for a clean retest to trigger a trade signal.
🚀 Key Features
⚙️ Smart Zone Detection
Detects both Bullish Breakers and Bearish Breakers.
Zones are drawn precisely using the breaker’s middle candle body (or full wick range if enabled).
Fully configurable transparency, width, and extension for better visual context.
🎯 Auto Retest Entry Logic
Entry triggers only on a clean retest, not on immediate breakout.
Includes logical filters to ensure retests are structurally valid and not overlapping candles.
Works in any timeframe or market — crypto, forex, indices, or commodities.
💡 Dynamic Risk–Reward Tracking
Automatically plots 1R, 2R, 3R, ...R targets based on your defined stop range.
Risk is calculated from entry to zone boundary or ATR offset.
Each target label appears precisely when hit.
Targets automatically stop updating once Stop-Loss is triggered.
🧱 Visual Clarity
BUY 🟢 / SELL 🔴 bubbles at entries.
SL ❌ marker when stop is hit.
🎯 1R / 2R / 3R labels dynamically plotted when each reward level is reached.
Non-overlapping placement using ATR-based spacing.
⚡ Real-Time Alerts - Instant alerts for:
✅ “Breaker BUY” – Clean retest confirmed (Long setup)
✅ “Breaker SELL” – Clean retest confirmed (Short setup)
❌ “Breaker BUY SL” – Stop hit for Long
❌ “Breaker SELL SL” – Stop hit for Short
🧩 Customization Panel
| Setting | Description |
| :-------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **ATR Length** | Controls volatility-based offset sizing. |
| **Entry / SL Offset × ATR** | Adjusts label spacing and dynamic positioning. |
| **Risk-Reward Ratio** | Define default R:R (e.g. 1:3). |
| **Multiple Retests** | Enable if you want the same breaker zone to allow multiple retests/entries. |
| **Banner Design** | Control opacity, extension, and wick usage for the breaker block visualization. |
| **Color Controls** | Choose your BUY/SELL/SL bubble colors to match your chart theme. |
⚙️ Underlying Logic (At a Glance)
Pattern Detection:
Identifies a 5-bar sequence that forms a valid Breaker Candle (the middle bar flips structure).
Confirmation:
Requires a follow-through candle to validate a real liquidity break.
Zone Registration:
Stores the breaker zone’s body range in arrays for tracking.
Clean Retest Entry:
Waits for price to retest the zone from the opposite side and close cleanly inside.
Stop Loss / Target Projection:
Defines stop loss just beyond the zone and plots up to 3 × reward targets dynamically.
Monitoring & Alerts:
Tracks each setup independently until either an R-target or SL is reached.
💬 Recommended Usage
Works best with market-structure traders, smart-money concepts, or liquidity-based systems.
Combine it with an external displacement confirmation or BOS/CHOCH tool for best precision.
Ideal for backtesting breaker-based R:R consistency or forward-testing retest entries.
Compatible with any asset / timeframe.

Always test on demo data before deploying live.
NEXT GEN INSPIRED BY OLIVER VELEZDYOR NFA
1. Initial Setup & Application
Load the Strategy to your desired chart (e.g., EURUSD M5, as suggested by the script's backtest).
Overlay: Ensure the script is set to overlay=true (which it is) so the signals and Moving Averages plot directly on the price chart.
Equity Management: Review the initial strategy settings for capital and position sizing:
Initial Capital: Defaults to 10,000.
Default Qty Type: Set to strategy.percent_of_equity (22%), meaning 22% of your available equity is used per trade. Adjust this percentage based on your personal risk tolerance.
2. Reviewing Key Indicator Inputs
The script uses default values that are optimized, but you can adjust them in the settings panel:
Fast EMA: Defaults to 9 (e.g., a 9-period Exponential Moving Average).
Slow EMA: Defaults to 21 (e.g., a 21-period Exponential Moving Average). These EMAs define the short-term trend.
ATR: Defaults to 14 (Average True Range). Used to dynamically calculate volatility for SL/TP distances.
Final R:R: Defaults to 4.5 (minimum R:R required for a signal). This is the core of the strategy's high reward goal.
3. Interpreting Entry Signals
A trade signal is generated only when all conditions—EMA trend, "Elephant Logic" momentum, and non-ranging market—are met.
Long Signal: Appears as a green triangle (▲) below the bar, labeled "COMBO".
Short Signal: Appears as a red triangle (▼) above the bar, labeled "COMBO".
Live Plan: Upon signal, a detailed label is immediately plotted on the chart showing the FULL BATTLE PLAN:
SL: Calculated Stop Loss price.
TP: Calculated Take Profit price (based on the Final R:R).
Risk/Reward Pips: The calculated pips for the trade's risk and reward.
R:R = 1:4.5: The exact Risk-to-Reward ratio.
4. Understanding Market Conditions & Visuals
The script provides visuals to help you understand the current market state:
Trend EMAs: The 9 EMA (green) and 21 EMA (purple/magenta) are plotted to show the underlying trend.
Long trades only fire when Price > 9 EMA > 21 EMA.
Short trades only fire when Price < 9 EMA < 21 EMA.
Ranging Market (Rejection): Bars turn a light gray/silver when the proprietary "Reject Ranging" logic is active, indicating a low-volatility period. No new trades will be taken during these bars.
Momentum Bar: Bars turn a gold/yellow color when the "Elephant Logic" (high-momentum, large-body candles over 2-3 periods) is detected, highlighting powerful price movement.
5. Execution and Exit Logic
The strategy handles entry, scaling, and exit automatically:
Entry: A market order is placed (strategy.entry) immediately upon the bar where the longSetup or shortSetup condition is met.
Scaling Out (+1R): If the trade moves favorably by an amount equal to the initial risk (1R), the script closes a portion of the position (strategy.close with comment "+1R"). This partial exit locks in profit equivalent to the initial risk.
Re-entry (Pyramiding): After the +1R exit, the strategy attempts a re-entry (LONG RE/SHORT RE diamond plot) if the price meets certain criteria near the 9 EMA, trying to capitalize on further trend continuation.
Final Exits:
Take Profit: A limit order is set at the calculated TP level (stopDist * minRR).
Stop Loss: A stop order is set at the calculated SL level (stopDist * 1.3), slightly wider than the initial SL distance, likely to account for spread/slippage, ensuring the maximum loss is defined.
Trailing Stop: A trailing stop is applied to the re-entry positions (LONG RE/SHORT RE) to protect profits as the market moves further in the direction of the trade.
Minhas MAs - Escala Unificada (lock)📘 Indicator: My Moving Averages – Clean & Fixed
Description:
This indicator displays four classic moving averages (two exponential and two simple) designed to clearly show market trend direction and strength. It’s optimized to stay locked to the main price scale, avoiding the common issue of indicator lines “floating” when the chart is moved.
Composition:
EMA 9 (Short): Fast-reacting line; ideal for short-term entries and exits.
EMA 20 (Medium): Smooths short-term noise and confirms trend direction.
SMA 50 (Long): Represents the intermediate trend and often acts as dynamic support/resistance.
SMA 200 (Macro): Defines the overall long-term trend; widely used by institutional traders.
Interpretation:
Price above all MAs: strong uptrend.
Price below all MAs: strong downtrend.
Crossovers (e.g., EMA 9 crossing above EMA 20) signal possible momentum shifts.
MAs also act as dynamic support and resistance zones.
Advantages:
A clean, minimalist trend-following tool that adapts to any asset (stocks, crypto, forex) and timeframe.
Perfect for traders who prefer uncluttered charts with clear trend structure.
Ben's BTC Macro Fair Value OscillatorBen's BTC Macro Fair Value Oscillator
Overview
The **BTC Macro Fair Value Oscillator** is a non-crypto fair value framework that uses macro asset relationships (equities, dollar, gold) to estimate Bitcoin's "macro-driven fair value" and identify mean-reversion opportunities.
"Is BTC cheap or expensive right now?" on the 4 Hour Timeframe ONLY
### Key Features
✅ **Macro-driven**: Uses QQQ, DXY, XAUUSD instead of on-chain or crypto metrics
✅ **Dynamic weighting**: Assets weighted by rolling correlation strength
✅ **Mean-reversion signals**: Identifies when BTC is cheap/expensive vs macro
✅ **Validated parameters**: Optimized through 5-year backtest (Sharpe 6.7-9.9)
✅ **Visual transparency**: Live correlation panel, fair value bands, statistics
✅ **Non-repainting**: All calculations use confirmed historical data only
### What This Indicator Does
- Builds a **synthetic macro composite** from traditional assets
- Runs a **rolling regression** to predict BTC price from macro
- Calculates **deviation z-score** (how far BTC is from macro fair value)
- Generates **entry signals** when BTC is extremely cheap vs macro (dev < -2)
- Generates **exit signals** when BTC returns to fair value (dev > 0)
### What This Indicator Is NOT
❌ Not a high-frequency trading system (sparse signals by design)
❌ Not optimized for absolute returns (optimized for Sharpe ratio)
❌ Not suitable as standalone trading system (best as overlay/confirmation)
❌ Not predictive of short-term price movements (mean-reversion timeframe: days to weeks)
---
## Core Concept
### The Premise
Bitcoin doesn't trade in a vacuum. It's influenced by:
- **Risk appetite** (equities: QQQ, SPX)
- **Dollar strength** (DXY - inverse to risk assets)
- **Safe haven flows** (Gold: XAUUSD)
When macro conditions are "good for BTC" (risk-on, weak dollar, strong equities), BTC should trade higher. When macro conditions turn against it, BTC should trade lower.
### The Innovation
Instead of looking at BTC in isolation, this indicator:
1. **Measures how strongly** BTC currently correlates with each macro asset
2. **Builds a weighted composite** of those macro returns (the "D" driver)
3. **Regresses BTC price on D** to estimate "macro fair value"
4. **Tracks the deviation** between actual price and fair value
5. **Signals mean reversion** when deviation becomes extreme
### The Edge
The validated edge comes from:
- **Extreme deviations predict future returns** (dev < -2 → +1.67% over 12 bars)
- **Monotonic relationship** (more negative dev → higher forward returns)
- **Works out-of-sample** (test Sharpe +83-87% better than training)
- **Low correlation with buy & hold** (provides diversification value)
---
## Methodology
### Step 1: Macro Composite Driver D(t)
The indicator builds a weighted composite of macro asset returns:
**Process:**
1. Calculate **log returns** for BTC and each macro reference (QQQ, DXY, XAUUSD)
2. Compute **rolling correlation** between BTC and each reference over `corrLen` bars
3. **Weight each asset** by `|correlation|` if above `minCorrAbs` threshold, else 0
4. **Sign-adjust** weights (+1 for positive corr, -1 for negative) to handle inverse relationships
5. **Z-score normalize** each reference's returns over `fvWindow`
6. **Composite D(t)** = weighted sum of sign-adjusted z-scores
**Formula:**
```
For each reference i:
corr_i = correlation(BTC_returns, ref_i_returns, corrLen)
weight_i = |corr_i| if |corr_i| >= minCorrAbs else 0
sign_i = +1 if corr_i >= 0 else -1
z_i = (ref_i_returns - mean) / std
contrib_i = sign_i * z_i * weight_i
D(t) = sum(contrib_i) / sum(weight_i)
```
**Key Insight:** D(t) represents "how good macro conditions are for BTC right now" in a normalized, correlation-weighted way.
---
### Step 2: Fair Value Regression
Uses rolling linear regression to predict BTC price from D(t):
**Model:**
```
BTC_price(t) = α + β * D(t)
```
**Calculation (Pine Script approach):**
```
corr_CD = correlation(BTC_price, D, fvWindow)
sd_price = stdev(BTC_price, fvWindow)
sd_D = stdev(D, fvWindow)
cov = corr_CD * sd_price * sd_D
var_D = variance(D, fvWindow)
β = cov / var_D
α = mean(BTC_price) - β * mean(D)
fair_value(t) = α + β * D(t)
```
**Result:** A time-varying "macro fair value" line that adapts as correlations change.
---
### Step 3: Deviation Oscillator
Measures how far BTC price has deviated from fair value:
**Calculation:**
```
residual(t) = BTC_price(t) - fair_value(t)
residual_std = stdev(residual, normWindow)
deviation(t) = residual(t) / residual_std
```
**Interpretation:**
- `dev = 0` → BTC at fair value
- `dev = -2` → BTC is 2 standard deviations **cheap** vs macro
- `dev = +2` → BTC is 2 standard deviations **rich** vs macro
---
### Step 4: Signal Generation
**Long Entry:** `dev` crosses below `-2.0` (BTC extremely cheap vs macro)
**Long Exit:** `dev` crosses above `0.0` (BTC returns to fair value)
**No shorting** in default config (risk management choice - crypto volatility)

## Reading the Indicator
### Identifying Signals
#### Strong Long Signal (High Conviction)
- ✅ Deviation < -2.0 (extreme undervaluation)
- ✅ Avg |Corr| > 0.3 (strong macro relationships)
- ✅ Price touching or below -2σ band
- ✅ "LONG" label appears below bar
**Interpretation:** BTC is extremely cheap relative to macro conditions. Historical data shows +1.67% average return over next 12 bars (48 hours at 4h timeframe).
#### Moderate Long Signal (Lower Conviction)
- ⚠️ Deviation between -1.5 and -2.0
- ⚠️ Avg |Corr| between 0.2-0.3
- ⚠️ Price approaching -2σ band
**Interpretation:** BTC is cheap but not extreme. Consider as confirmation for other signals.
#### Exit Signal
- 🔴 Deviation crosses above 0 (returns to fair value)
- 🔴 "EXIT" label appears above bar
**Interpretation:** Mean reversion complete. Close long positions.
#### Strong Short/Avoid Signal
- 🔴 Deviation > +2.0 (extreme overvaluation)
- 🔴 Avg |Corr| > 0.3
- 🔴 Price touching or above +2σ band
**Interpretation:** BTC is expensive vs macro. Historical data shows -1.79% average return over next 12 bars. Consider exiting longs or reducing exposure.
### Regime Detection
**Strong Regime (Reliable Signals):**
- Avg |Corr| > 0.3
- Multiple assets weighted > 0
- Fair value line tracking price reasonably well
**Weak Regime (Unreliable Signals):**
- Avg |Corr| < 0.2
- Most weights = 0 (grayed out)
- Fair value line diverging wildly from price
- **Action:** Ignore signals until correlations strengthen

NY ORB - Full Dynamic SystemNY ORB - Full Dynamic Strategy Summary
1. Opening Range and Session Timing
Opening Range (ORB) Calculation: The strategy identifies the ORB High and ORB Low by tracking the highest high and lowest low during the specified New York pre-market window, which is set by default from 8:30 to 8:45 (New York time).
Entry Window: Trading activity is restricted to a specific entry period, typically starting shortly after the ORB is established (default: 8:50 to 12:00).
Hard Exit Time: Any remaining open positions are automatically closed at a fixed exit time (default: 13:25).
2. Trade Entry Logic and Filters
An entry (Long or Short) is generated when the price breaks out of the established ORB, provided it passes a series of optional filters:
Direction Control: The user can restrict the strategy to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
Second Breakout Logic: An optional filter that requires the price to break out, reverse back into the range, and then break out again, confirming momentum after a consolidation.
Confirmation Candle Count: An optional filter that checks the close of a previous candle (e.g., 1 or 2 candles ago) to ensure the price was still inside the range, preventing premature entry.
Technical Filters (Optional): The entry is only executed if it aligns with selected indicators:
RSI: Filters for non-overbought (Long) or non-oversold (Short) conditions.
MACD: Requires the MACD line to be above/below the Signal line for alignment.
VWAP: Requires the price to be above/below the Volume-Weighted Average Price.
Trend Filter (SMMA): Requires the price to be above/below a 50-period Simple Moving Average.
3. Dynamic Risk and Exit Management
This strategy features highly configurable stop-loss and profit-taking mechanics:
Primary Stop Loss Methods: The Stop Loss distance can be dynamically chosen from four types:
Fixed: A fixed number of ticks.
ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Capped ATR: ATR-based, but with a hard maximum tick limit.
OR-Based: Based on a multiple of the actual ORB High-to-Low range.
Dynamic Profit Target: The Take Profit level is calculated dynamically based on a multiplier of either the ATR or the ORB Range.
Breakeven Stop:
If enabled, the Stop Loss automatically moves to the entry price (Breakeven) once the price moves a predetermined distance in the profitable direction.
An Adaptive Breakeven option allows the trigger distance to be calculated as a percentage of the overall ATR Profit Target.
Trailing Stop: The strategy uses a trailing stop, which can be custom-set (fixed ticks) or dynamically tied to the ATR. An optional feature Auto Tighten Trailing reduces the trailing multiplier once the breakeven level is hit.
MA Cross Exit: An alternative, counter-trend exit mechanism that closes the trade if the price crosses back over the chosen Moving Average (either SMMA or VWAP), overriding the pending profit target.
4. Daily Account Management
The strategy includes crucial daily risk controls to protect capital and lock in profits:
Daily Profit Limit: If the total daily PnL (realized and unrealized) hits a predefined maximum profit threshold (in ticks), all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the trading day.
Daily Loss Limit: Conversely, if the total daily PnL hits a predefined maximum loss threshold, all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the day.

## 🎯 What is a Pinbar?
A **Pinbar (Pin Bar/Pinocchio Bar)** is a single candlestick pattern that indicates a potential price reversal:
### Bullish Pinbar (BUY Signal)
- **Long lower wick** (rejection of lower prices)
- **Small body at the top** of the candle
- Shows buyers rejected sellers' attempt to push price down
- Forms at support levels or swing lows
- Entry signal for LONG positions
### Bearish Pinbar (SELL Signal)
- **Long upper wick** (rejection of higher prices)
- **Small body at the bottom** of the candle
- Shows sellers rejected buyers' attempt to push price up
- Forms at resistance levels or swing highs
- Entry signal for SHORT positions
---
## 🔧 How the Indicator Works
### 1. **Pinbar Detection Logic**
The indicator analyzes the **previous closed bar ** to identify pinbar patterns:
```
Bullish Pinbar Requirements:
- Lower wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Upper wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close > Open (bullish candle body)
Bearish Pinbar Requirements:
- Upper wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Lower wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close < Open (bearish candle body)
```
**Why check ?** By analyzing the previous completed bar, we ensure the pattern is fully formed and won't change, preventing repainting.
---
### 2. **Three-Layer Filter System**
#### 🔍 **Filter #1: ATR (Average True Range) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Ensures the pinbar has significant size
- **Function**: Only signals if pinbar range ≥ ATR value
- **Benefit**: Filters out small, insignificant pinbars
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- ATR Period (default: 7)
**Example**: If ATR = 50 pips, only pinbars with 50+ pip range will signal.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #2: SWING Filter** (Always Active)
- **Purpose**: Confirms pinbar forms at swing highs/lows
- **Function**: Validates the pinbar is an absolute high/low
- **Benefit**: Identifies true reversal points
- **Settings**:
- Swing Candles (default: 3)
**How it works**:
- For bullish pinbar: Checks if low is lowest of past 3 bars
- For bearish pinbar: Checks if high is highest of past 3 bars
**Example**: With 3 swing candles, a bullish pinbar must have the lowest low among the last 3 bars.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #3: RSI (Relative Strength Index) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Confirms momentum conditions
- **Function**: Prevents signals in extreme momentum zones
- **Benefit**: Avoids counter-trend trades
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- RSI Period (default: 7)
- RSI Source (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4)
- Overbought Level (default: 70)
- Oversold Level (default: 30)
**Logic**:
- Bullish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI < 70 (not overbought)
- Bearish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI > 30 (not oversold)
---
### 3. **Stop Loss Calculation**
Two methods available:
#### Method A: ATR-Based Stop Loss (Recommended)
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (1 × ATR)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (1 × ATR)
```
**Benefit**: Dynamic stops that adapt to market volatility
#### Method B: Fixed Pips Stop Loss
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (Fixed Pips)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (Fixed Pips)
```
**Settings**:
- Calculate Stop with ATR (toggle)
- Stop Pips without ATR (default: 5)
---
### 4. **Take Profit Calculation**
Take Profit is calculated based on Risk:Reward ratio:
```
Bullish Trade:
TP = Entry + (Entry - SL) × Risk:Reward Ratio
Bearish Trade:
TP = Entry - (SL - Entry) × Risk:Reward Ratio
```
**Example**:
- Entry: 1.2000
- SL: 1.1950 (50 pip risk)
- RR: 2:1
- TP: 1.2100 (100 pip reward = 50 × 2)
**Settings**:
- Risk:Reward Ratio (default: 1.0, range: 0.1 to 10.0)

## 🚫 Non-Repainting Architecture
### What is Repainting?
**Repainting** occurs when an indicator's historical signals differ from what appeared in real-time. This makes backtesting unreliable and can lead to false confidence in a strategy.
### How This Indicator Prevents Repainting
1. **Closed Bar Analysis**
- All calculations use ` ` offset (previous bar)
- Only analyzes COMPLETED candles
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar closes
2. **Confirmed Swing Points**
- Waits for sufficient bar history before signaling
- Only checks historical bars that cannot change
- Prevents premature swing detection
3. **Static Alert Timing**
- Alerts fire only after bar completion
- No conditional logic that changes historically
- Same results in replay mode and live trading
### Verification Method
To verify non-repainting behavior:
1. Apply indicator to chart
2. Note signal locations and prices
3. Refresh browser / reload chart
4. **Signals remain in exact same locations**
---
## 💼 Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Entry Rules
**For Bullish Pinbar (LONG):**
1. Wait for green triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar high
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
**For Bearish Pinbar (SHORT):**
1. Wait for red triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar low
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
### Risk Management
- **Position Sizing**: Risk only 1-2% of account per trade
- **Stop Loss**: Always use the calculated SL (never move it wider)
- **Take Profit**: Use calculated TP or trail stop after 1:1 RR
- **Multiple Timeframes**: Confirm signals on higher timeframe
### Best Practices
✅ **DO:**
- Wait for bar to close before entering
- Trade in direction of higher timeframe trend
- Use on liquid markets with clear support/resistance
- Combine with price action analysis
- Keep a trading journal
❌ **DON'T:**
- Enter before bar closes (prevents seeing full pattern)
- Trade against strong trends
- Ignore the filters (they improve win rate)
- Risk more than 2% per trade
- Trade every signal (be selective)

## 🎓 Understanding the Filters
### Why Use Multiple Filters?
Single-indicator systems often generate too many false signals. This indicator uses a **confluence approach**:
1. **Pinbar Pattern** = Price rejection detected
2. **+ SWING Filter** = Rejection at key level
3. **+ ATR Filter** = Significant move
4. **+ RSI Filter** = Favorable momentum
**Result**: Higher probability setups with better risk:reward
### Filter Optimization
**Conservative Settings** (Fewer, Higher Quality Signals):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 5
- RSI Filter: ON
- Shadow %: 75%
**Aggressive Settings** (More Signals, More Noise):
- ATR Filter: OFF
- Swing Candles: 2
- RSI Filter: OFF
- Shadow %: 65%
**Balanced Settings** (Recommended):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 3
- RSI Filter: OFF (or ON for trending markets)
- Shadow %: 72%
---
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### "No Signals Appearing"
**Possible Causes:**
1. Filters are too strict
2. No pinbars forming on chart
3. Insufficient bar history
**Solutions:**
- Reduce Shadow % to 65%
- Reduce Swing Candles to 2
- Disable ATR or RSI filters temporarily
- Check that chart has enough data loaded
### "Too Many Signals"
**Solutions:**
- Enable ATR filter
- Increase Swing Candles to 4-5
- Enable RSI filter
- Increase Shadow % to 75-80%
### "Signals Appearing Late"
**This is normal behavior!** The indicator:
- Analyzes previous closed bar
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar
- This is what prevents repainting
- Signal latency is 1 bar (by design)

Gold 15m: Trend + S/R + Liquidity Sweep (RR 1:2)This strategy is designed for short-term trading on XAUUSD (Gold) using the 15-minute timeframe. It combines trend direction, support/resistance pivots, liquidity sweep detection, and momentum confirmation to identify high-probability reversal setups in line with the dominant market trend.
⚙️ Core Logic:
Trend Filter (EMA 200):
The strategy only takes long positions when price is above the 200 EMA and short positions when price is below it.
Support/Resistance via Pivots:
Dynamic swing highs and lows are identified using pivot points. These act as local supply and demand levels where liquidity is likely to accumulate.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
A bullish liquidity sweep occurs when price briefly breaks below the last pivot low (grabbing liquidity) and then closes back above it.
A bearish sweep occurs when price breaks above the last pivot high and then closes back below.
Momentum & Candle Strength:
The strategy filters signals based on candle range and body size to ensure entries occur during strong price reactions, not weak retracements.
Risk Management (1:2 RR):
Stop-loss is placed slightly beyond the last pivot level using ATR-based buffers, and take-profit is set at 2× the risk distance, maintaining a reward-to-risk ratio of 1:2.
💼 Trade Logic Summary:
Long Entry:
After a bullish liquidity sweep & reclaim, momentum confirmation, and trend alignment (above EMA 200).
Short Entry:
After a bearish sweep & reclaim, momentum confirmation, and trend alignment (below EMA 200).
Exit:
Automated via ATR-based Stop Loss and Take Profit targets.
📊 Customization Options:
Adjustable EMA length, pivot settings, ATR multipliers, and RR ratio.
Option to enable/disable trend filter.
Toggle display of S/R zones on chart.
🧠 Best Use:
Works best during London and New York sessions when Gold shows strong momentum.
Can be adapted for forex pairs and indices by tuning ATR and pivot parameters.
Zero Lag Trend Signals (MTF) [Quant Trading] V7Overview
The Zero Lag Trend Signals (MTF) V7 is a comprehensive trend-following strategy that combines Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) with volatility-based bands to identify high-probability trade entries and exits. This strategy is designed to reduce lag inherent in traditional moving averages while incorporating dynamic risk management through ATR-based stops and multiple exit mechanisms.
This is a longer term horizon strategy that takes limited trades. It is not a high frequency trading and therefore will also have limited data and not > 100 trades.
How It Works
Core Signal Generation:
The strategy uses a Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA) calculated by applying an EMA to price data that has been adjusted for lag:
Calculate lag period: floor((length - 1) / 2)
Apply lag correction: src + (src - src )
Calculate ZLEMA: EMA of lag-corrected price
Volatility bands are created using the highest ATR over a lookback period multiplied by a band multiplier. These bands are added to and subtracted from the ZLEMA line to create upper and lower boundaries.
Trend Detection:
The strategy maintains a trend variable that switches between bullish (1) and bearish (-1):
Long Signal: Triggers when price crosses above ZLEMA + volatility band
Short Signal: Triggers when price crosses below ZLEMA - volatility band
Optional ZLEMA Trend Confirmation:
When enabled, this filter requires ZLEMA to show directional momentum before entry:
Bullish Confirmation: ZLEMA must increase for 4 consecutive bars
Bearish Confirmation: ZLEMA must decrease for 4 consecutive bars
This additional filter helps avoid false signals in choppy or ranging markets.
Risk Management Features:
The strategy includes multiple stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms:
Volatility-Based Stops: Default stop-loss is placed at ZLEMA ± volatility band
ATR-Based Stops: Dynamic stop-loss calculated as entry price ± (ATR × multiplier)
ATR Trailing Stop: Ratcheting stop-loss that follows price but never moves against position
Risk-Reward Profit Target: Take-profit level set as a multiple of stop distance
Break-Even Stop: Moves stop to entry price after reaching specified R:R ratio
Trend-Based Exit: Closes position when price crosses EMA in opposite direction
Performance Tracking:
The strategy includes optional features for monitoring and analyzing trades:
Floating Statistics Table: Displays key metrics including win rate, GOA (Gain on Account), net P&L, and max drawdown
Trade Log Labels: Shows entry/exit prices, P&L, bars held, and exit reason for each closed trade
CSV Export Fields: Outputs trade data for external analysis

Important Usage Notes
Default Configuration: The strategy operates in its most basic form with default settings - using only ZLEMA crossovers with volatility bands and volatility-based stop-losses. All advanced features must be manually enabled.
Stop-Loss Priority: If multiple stop-loss methods are enabled simultaneously, the strategy will use whichever condition is hit first. ATR-based stops override volatility-based stops when enabled.
Long-Only by Default: Short trading is disabled by default. Enable "Allow Short Trades" to trade both directions.
Performance Monitoring: Enable the floating stats table and trade log labels to visualize strategy performance during backtesting.
Exit Mechanisms: The strategy can exit trades through multiple methods: stop-loss hit, take-profit reached, trend reversal, or trailing stop activation. The trade log identifies which exit method was used.
Re-Entry Logic: When "Re-Enter on Long Trend" is enabled with ZLEMA trend confirmation, the strategy can take multiple long positions during extended uptrends as long as all entry conditions remain valid.
Capital Efficiency: Default setting uses 100% of equity per trade. Adjust "default_qty_value" to manage position sizing based on risk tolerance.
Realistic Backtesting: Strategy includes commission (0.1%) and slippage (3 ticks) to provide realistic performance expectations. These values should be adjusted based on your broker and market conditions.
Recommended Use Cases
Trending Markets: Best suited for markets with clear directional moves where trend-following strategies excel
Medium to Long-Term Trading: The default length of 70 makes this strategy more appropriate for swing trading rather than scalping
Risk-Conscious Traders: Multiple stop-loss options allow traders to customize risk management to their comfort level
Backtesting & Optimization: Comprehensive performance tracking features make this strategy ideal for testing different parameter combinations
Limitations & Considerations
Like all trend-following strategies, performance may suffer in choppy or ranging markets
Default 100% position sizing means full capital exposure per trade - consider reducing for conservative risk management
Higher length values (70+) reduce signal frequency but may improve signal quality
Multiple simultaneous risk management features may create conflicting exit signals
Past performance shown in backtests does not guarantee future results
Customization Tips
For more aggressive trading:
Reduce length parameter (minimum 70)
Decrease band multiplier for tighter bands
Enable short trades
Use lower profit target R:R ratios
For more conservative trading:
Increase length parameter
Enable ZLEMA trend confirmation
Use wider ATR stop-loss multipliers
Enable break-even stop-loss
Reduce position size from 100% default
For optimal choppy market performance:
Enable ZLEMA trend confirmation
Increase band multiplier
Use tighter profit targets
Avoid re-entry on trend continuation
Visual Elements
The strategy plots several elements on the chart:
ZLEMA line (color-coded by trend direction)
Upper and lower volatility bands
Long entry markers (green triangles)
Short entry markers (red triangles, when enabled)
Stop-loss levels (when positions are open)
Take-profit levels (when enabled and positions are open)
Trailing stop lines (when enabled and positions are open)
Optional ZLEMA trend markers (triangles at highs/lows)
Optional trade log labels showing complete trade information
Exit Reason Codes (for CSV Export)
When CSV export is enabled, exit reasons are coded as:
0 = Manual/Other
1 = Trailing Stop-Loss
2 = Profit Target
3 = ATR Stop-Loss
4 = Trend Change
Conclusion
Zero Lag Trend Signals V7 provides a robust framework for trend-following with extensive customization options. The strategy balances simplicity in its core logic with sophisticated risk management features, making it suitable for both beginner and advanced traders. By reducing moving average lag while incorporating volatility-based signals, it aims to capture trends earlier while managing risk through multiple configurable exit mechanisms.
The modular design allows traders to start with basic trend-following and progressively add complexity through ZLEMA confirmation, multiple stop-loss methods, and advanced exit strategies. Comprehensive performance tracking and export capabilities make this strategy an excellent tool for systematic testing and optimization.
Note: This strategy is provided for educational and backtesting purposes. All trading involves risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test thoroughly with paper trading before risking real capital, and adjust position sizing and risk parameters according to your risk tolerance and account size.

FluxGate Daily Swing StrategySummary in one paragraph
FluxGate treats long and short as different ecosystems. It runs two independent engines so the long side can be bold when the tape rewards upside persistence while the short side can stay selective when downside is messy. The core reads three directional drivers from price geometry then removes overlap before gating with clean path checks. The complementary risk module anchors stop distance to a higher timeframe ATR so a unit means the same thing on SPY and BTC. It can add take profit breakeven and an ATR trail that only activates after the trade earns it. If a stop is hit the strategy can re enter in the same direction on the next bar with a daily retry cap that you control. Add it to a clean chart. Use defaults to see the intended behavior. For conservative workflows evaluate on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap equities and liquid ETFs major FX pairs US index futures and liquid crypto pairs
• Timeframes. From one minute to daily
• Default demo in this publication. SPY on one day timeframe
• Purpose. Reduce false starts without missing sustained trends by fusing independent drivers and suppressing activity when the path is noisy
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles. Non standard chart types are not supported for execution
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. FluxGate extracts three drivers that look at price from different angles. Direction measures slope of a smoothed guide and scales by realized volatility so a point of slope does not mean a different thing on different symbols. Persistence looks at short sign agreement to reward series of closes that keep direction. Curvature measures the second difference of a local fit to wake up during convex pushes. These three are then orthonormalized so a strong reading in one does not double count through another.
• Gates that matter. Efficiency ratio prefers direct paths over treadmills. Entropy turns up versus down frequency into an information read. Light fractal cohesion punishes wrinkly paths. Together they slow the system in chop and allow it to open up when the path is clean.
• Separate long and short engines. Threshold tilts adapt to the skew of score excursions. That lets long engage earlier when upside distribution supports it and keeps short cautious where downside surprise and venue frictions are common.
• Practical risk behavior. Stops are ATR anchored on a higher timeframe so the unit is portable. Take profit is expressed in R so two R means the same concept across symbols. Breakeven and trailing only activate after a chosen R so early noise does not squeeze a good entry. Re entry after stop lets the system try again without you babysitting the chart.
• Testability. Every major window and the aggression controls live in Inputs. There is no hidden magic number.
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
• Return basis. Natural log of close over prior close for stability and easy aggregation through time. Realized volatility is the standard deviation of returns over a moving window.
• Range basis for risk. ATR computed on a higher timeframe anchor such as day week or month. That anchor is steady across venues and avoids chasing chart specific quirks.
Components
• Directional intensity. Use an EMA of typical price as a guide. Take the day to day slope as raw direction. Divide by realized volatility to get a unit free measure. Soft clip to keep outliers from dominating.
• Persistence. Encode whether each bar closed up or down. Measure short sign agreement so a string of higher closes scores better than a jittery sequence. This favors push continuity without guessing tops or bottoms.
• Curvature. Fit a short linear regression and compute the second difference of the fitted series. Strong curvature flags acceleration that slope alone may miss.
• Efficiency gate. Compare net move to path length over a gate window. Values near one indicate direct paths. Values near zero indicate treadmill behavior.
• Entropy gate. Convert up versus down frequency into a probability of direction. High entropy means coin toss. The gate narrows there.
• Fractal cohesion. A light read of path wrinkliness relative to span. Lower cohesion reduces the urge to act.
• Phase assist. Map price inside a recent channel to a small signed bias that grows with confidence. This helps entries lean toward the right half of the channel without becoming a breakout rule.
• Shock control. Compare short volatility to long volatility. When short term volatility spikes the shock gate temporarily damps activity so the system waits for pressure to normalize.
Fusion rule
• Normalize the three drivers after removing overlap
• Blend with weights that adapt to your aggression input
• Multiply by the gates to respect path quality
• Smooth just enough to avoid jitter while keeping timing responsive
• Compute an adaptive mean and deviation of the score and set separate long and short thresholds with a small tilt informed by skew sign
• The result is one long score and one short score that can cross their thresholds at different times for the same tape which is a feature not a bug
Signal rule
• A long suggestion appears when the long score crosses above its long threshold while all gates are active
• A short suggestion appears when the short score crosses below its short threshold while all gates are active
• If any required gate is missing the state is wait
• When a position is open the status is in long or in short until the complementary risk engine exits or your entry mode closes and flips
Inputs with guidance
Setup Long
• Base length Long. Master window for the long engine. Typical range twenty four to eighty. Raising it improves selectivity and reduces trade count. Lowering it reacts faster but can increase noise
• Aggression Long. Zero to one. Higher values make thresholds more permissive and shorten smoothing
Setup Short
• Base length Short. Master window for the short engine. Typical range twenty eight to ninety six
• Aggression Short. Zero to one. Lower values keep shorts conservative which is often useful on upward drifting symbols
Entries and UI
• Entry mode. Both or Long only or Short only
Complementary risk engine
• Enable risk engine. Turns on bracket exits while keeping your signal logic untouched
• ATR anchor timeframe. Day Week or Month. This sets the structural unit of stop distance
• ATR length. Default fourteen
• Stop multiple. Default one point five times the anchor ATR
• Use take profit. On by default
• Take profit in R. Default two R
• Breakeven trigger in R. Default one R
Usage recipes
Intraday trend focus
• Entry mode Both
• ATR anchor Week
• Aggression Long zero point five Aggression Short zero point three
• Stop multiple one point five Take profit two R
• Expect fewer trades that stick to directional pushes and skip treadmill noise
Intraday mean reversion focus
• Session windows optional if you add them in your copy
• ATR anchor Day
• Lower aggression both sides
• Breakeven later and trailing later so the first bounce has room
• This favors fade entries that still convert into trends when the path stays clean
Swing continuation
• Signal timeframe four hours or one day
• Confirm timeframe one day if you choose to include bias
• ATR anchor Week or Month
• Larger base windows and a steady two R target
• This accepts fewer entries and aims for larger holds
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital 25.000
• Base currency USD
• Default order size percent of equity value three - 3% of the total capital
• Pyramiding zero
• Commission zero point zero three percent - 0.03% of total capital
• Slippage five ticks
• Process orders on close off
• Recalculate after order is filled off
• Calc on every tick off
• Bar magnifier off
• Any request security calls use lookahead off everywhere
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance promises. Past results never guarantee future outcomes
• Fills and slippage vary by venue and feed
• Strategies run on standard candles only
• Shapes can update while a bar is forming and settle on close
• Keep risk per trade sensible. Around one percent is typical for study. Above five to ten percent is rarely sustainable
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Sudden news and thin liquidity can break assumptions behind entropy and cohesion reads
• Gap heavy symbols often behave better with a True Range basis for risk than a simple range
• Very quiet regimes can reduce score contrast. Consider longer windows or higher thresholds when markets sleep
• Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart if you add them
• If stop and target can both be inside a single bar this strategy prefers stop first to keep accounting conservative
Open source reuse and credits
• No reused open source beyond public domain building blocks such as ATR EMA and linear regression concepts

1. WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT
Most traders use multiple separate indicators on their charts, leading to cluttered screens, conflicting signals, and analysis paralysis. The Suite solves this by integrating proven technical tools into a single, cohesive system.
Key Advantages:
All-in-One Design: Instead of loading 5-10 separate indicators, you get everything in one optimized script. This reduces chart clutter and improves TradingView performance.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: Unlike standard indicators that only show the current timeframe, the Bias Table aggregates trend signals across multiple timeframes simultaneously. See at a glance whether 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h are aligned bullish or bearish - no more switching between charts.
Smart Confirmations: The indicator doesn't just give signals - it shows you WHY. Every entry has multiple layers of confirmation (MA cross, MACD momentum, ADX strength, RSI pullback, volume, etc.) that you can toggle on/off.
Dynamic Stop Loss System: Instead of static ATR stops, the SL is calculated from multiple support/resistance layers: UT trailing line, Supertrend, VWAP, swing structure, and MA levels. This creates more intelligent, price-action-aware stops.
R-Multiple Take Profits: Built-in TP system calculates targets based on your initial risk (1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R). Lines freeze when touched with visual checkmarks, giving you a clean audit trail of partial exits.
Educational Tooltips Everywhere: Every single input has detailed tooltips explaining what it does, typical values, and how it impacts trading. You're not guessing - you're learning as you configure.
Performance Optimized: Smart caching, conditional calculations, and modular design mean the indicator runs fast despite having 15+ features. Turn off what you don't use for even better performance.
No Repainting: All signals respect bar close. Alerts fire correctly. What you see in history is what you would have gotten in real-time.
What Makes It Unique:
Integrated UT Bot + Bias Table: No other indicator combines UT Bot's ATR trailing system with a live multi-timeframe dashboard. You get precision entries with macro trend context.
Candlestick Pattern Recognition with Interactive Tooltips: Patterns aren't just marked - hover over any emoji for a full explanation of what the pattern means and how to trade it.
Opening Range Breakout Tracker: Built-in ORB system for intraday traders with customizable session times and real-time status updates in the Bias Table.
Previous Day High/Low Auto-Detection: Automatically plots PDH/PDL on intraday charts with theme-aware colors. Updates daily without manual input.
Dynamic Row Labels in Bias Table: The table shows your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20") not generic labels. You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Modular Filter System: Instead of forcing a fixed methodology, the indicator lets you build your own strategy. Start with just UT Bot, add filters one at a time, test what works for your style.
---
2. WHO WHOULD USE THIS
Designed For:
Intermediate to Advanced Traders: You understand basic technical analysis (MAs, RSI, MACD) and want to combine multiple confirmations efficiently. This isn't a "one-click profit" system - it's a professional toolkit.
Multi-Timeframe Traders: If you trade one asset but check multiple timeframes for confirmation (e.g., enter on 5m after checking 15m and 1h alignment), the Bias Table will save you hours every week.
Trend Followers: The indicator excels at identifying and following trends using UT Bot, Supertrend, and MA systems. If you trade breakouts and pullbacks in trending markets, this is built for you.
Intraday and Swing Traders: Works equally well on 5m-1h charts (day trading) and 4h-D charts (swing trading). Scalpers can use it too with appropriate settings adjustments.
Discretionary Traders: This isn't a black-box system. You see all the components, understand the logic, and make final decisions. Perfect for traders who want tools, not automation.
Works Across All Markets:
Stocks (US, international)
Cryptocurrency (24/7 markets supported)
Forex pairs
Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.)
Commodities
NOT Ideal For :
Complete Beginners: If you don't know what a moving average or RSI is, start with basics first. This indicator assumes foundational knowledge.
Algo Traders Seeking Black Box: This is discretionary. Signals require context and confirmation. Not suitable for blind automated execution.
Mean-Reversion Only Traders: The indicator is trend-following at its core. While VWAP bands support mean-reversion, the primary methodology is trend continuation.
---
3. CORE COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The indicator combines these proven systems:
Trend Analysis:
Moving Averages: Four customizable MAs (Fast, Medium, Medium-Long, Long) with six types to choose from (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA). Mix and match for your style.
Supertrend: ATR-based trend indicator with unique gradient fill showing trend strength. One-sided ribbon visualization makes it easier to see momentum building or fading.
ZLSMA : Zero-lag linear-regression smoothed moving average. Reduces lag compared to traditional MAs while maintaining smooth curves.
Momentum & Filters:
MACD: Standard MACD with separation filter to avoid weak crossovers.
RSI: Pullback zone detection - only enter longs when RSI is in your defined "buy zone" and shorts in "sell zone".
ADX/DMI: Trend strength measurement with directional filter. Ensures you only trade when there's actual momentum.
Volume Filter: Relative volume confirmation - require above-average volume for entries.
Donchian Breakout: Optional channel breakout requirement.
Signal Systems:
UT Bot: The primary signal generator. ATR trailing stop that adapts to volatility and gives clear entry/exit points.
Base Signals: MA cross system with all the above filters applied. More conservative than UT Bot alone.
Market Bias Table: Multi-timeframe dashboard showing trend alignment across 7 timeframes plus macro bias (3-day, weekly, monthly, quarterly, VIX).
Candlestick Patterns: Six major reversal patterns auto-detected with interactive tooltips.
ORB Tracker: Opening range high/low with breakout status (intraday only).
PDH/PDL: Previous day levels plotted automatically on intraday charts.
VWAP + Bands : Session-anchored VWAP with up to three standard deviation band pairs.

4. THE UT BOT TRADING SYSTEM
The UT Bot is the heart of the indicator's signal generation. It's an advanced ATR trailing stop that adapts to market volatility.
Why UT Bot is Superior to Fixed Stops:
Traditional ATR stops use a fixed multiplier (e.g., "stop = entry - 2×ATR"). UT Bot is smarter:
It TRAILS the stop as price moves in your favor
It WIDENS during high volatility to avoid premature stops
It TIGHTENS during consolidation to lock in profits
It FLIPS when price breaks the trailing line, signaling reversals
Visual Elements You'll See:
Orange Trailing Line: The actual UT stop level that adapts bar-by-bar
Buy/Sell Labels: Aqua triangle (long) or orange triangle (short) when the line flips
ENTRY Line: Horizontal line at your entry price (optional, can be turned off)
Suggested Stop Loss: A composite SL calculated from multiple support/resistance layers:
- UT trailing line
- Supertrend level
- VWAP
- Swing structure (recent lows/highs)
- Long-term MA (200)
- ATR-based floor
Take Profit Lines: TP1, TP1.5, TP2, TP3 based on R-multiples. When price touches a TP, it's marked with a checkmark and the line freezes for audit trail purposes.
Status Messages: "SL Touched ❌" or "SL Frozen" when the trade leg completes.
How UT Bot Differs from Other ATR Systems:
Multiple Filters Available: You can require 2-bar confirmation, minimum % price change, swing structure alignment, or ZLSMA directional filter. Most UT implementations have none of these.
Smart SL Calculation: Instead of just using the UT line as your stop, the indicator suggests a better SL based on actual support/resistance. This prevents getting stopped out by wicks while keeping risk controlled.
Visual Audit Trail: All SL/TP lines freeze when touched with clear markers. You can review your trades weeks later and see exactly where entries, stops, and targets were.
Performance Options: "Draw UT visuals only on bar close" lets you reduce rendering load without affecting logic or alerts - critical for slower machines or 1m charts.
Trading Logic:
UT Bot flips direction (Buy or Sell signal appears)
Check Bias Table for multi-timeframe confirmation
Optional: Wait for Base signal or candlestick pattern
Enter at signal bar close or next bar open
Place stop at "Suggested Stop Loss" line
Scale out at TP levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Exit remaining position on opposite UT signal or stop hit

5. UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET BIAS TABLE
This is the indicator's unique multi-timeframe intelligence layer. Instead of looking at one chart at a time, the table aggregates signals across seven timeframes plus macro trend bias.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters:
Professional traders check higher and lower timeframes for context:
Is the 1h uptrend aligning with my 5m entry?
Are all short-term timeframes bullish or just one?
Is the daily trend supportive or fighting me?
Doing this manually means opening multiple charts, checking each indicator, and making mental notes. The Bias Table does it automatically in one glance.
Table Structure:
Header Row:
On intraday charts: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h (toggle which ones you want)
On daily+ charts: D, W, M (automatic)
Green dot next to title = live updating
Headline Rows - Macro Bias:
These show broad market direction over longer periods:
3 Day Bias: Trend over last 3 trading sessions (uses 1h data)
Weekly Bias: Trend over last 5 trading sessions (uses 4h data)
Monthly Bias: Trend over last 30 daily bars
Quarterly Bias: Trend over last 13 weekly bars
VIX Fear Index: Market regime based on VIX level - bullish when low, bearish when high
Opening Range Breakout: Status of price vs. session open range (intraday only)
These rows show text: "BULLISH", "BEARISH", or "NEUTRAL"
Indicator Rows - Technical Signals:
These evaluate your configured indicators across all active timeframes:
Fast MA > Medium MA (shows your actual MA settings, e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20")
Price > Long MA (e.g., "Price > SMA 200")
Price > VWAP
MACD > Signal
Supertrend (up/down/neutral)
ZLSMA Rising
RSI In Zone
ADX ≥ Minimum
These rows show emojis: GREEB (bullish), RED (bearish), GRAY/YELLOW (neutral/NA)
AVG Column:
Shows percentage of active timeframes that are bullish for that row. This is the KEY metric:
AVG > 70% = strong multi-timeframe bullish alignment
AVG 40-60% = mixed/choppy, no clear trend
AVG < 30% = strong multi-timeframe bearish alignment
How to Use the Table:
For a long trade:
Check AVG column - want to see > 60% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BULLISH, not BEARISH
Check VIX row - bullish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want ABOVE for longs
Scan indicator rows - more green = better confirmation
For a short trade:
Check AVG column - want to see < 40% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BEARISH, not BULLISH
Check VIX row - bearish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want BELOW for shorts
Scan indicator rows - more red = better confirmation
When AVG is 40-60%:
Market is choppy, mixed signals. Either stay out or reduce position size significantly. These are low-probability environments.
Unique Features:
Dynamic Labels: Row names show your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20" not generic "Fast > Slow"). You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Customizable Rows: Turn off rows you don't care about. Only show what matters to your strategy.
Customizable Timeframes: On intraday charts, disable 1m or 4h if you don't trade them. Reduces calculation load by 20-40%.
Automatic HTF Handling: On Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts, the table automatically switches to D/W/M columns. No configuration needed.
Performance Smart: "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" option completely skips all table calculations on higher timeframes if you only trade intraday.

6. CANDLESTICK PATTERN RECOGNITION
The indicator automatically detects six major reversal patterns and marks them with emojis at the relevant bars.
Why These Six Patterns:
These are the most statistically significant reversal patterns according to trading literature:
High win rate when appearing at support/resistance
Clear visual structure (not subjective)
Work across all timeframes and assets
Studied extensively by institutions
The Patterns:
Bullish Patterns (appear at bottoms):
Bullish Engulfing: Green candle completely engulfs prior red candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Hammer: Small body with long lower wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of lower prices by buyers.
Morning Star: Three-candle pattern (large red → small indecision → large green). Very strong bottom reversal.
Bearish Patterns (appear at tops):
Bearish Engulfing: Red candle completely engulfs prior green candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Shooting Star: Small body with long upper wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of higher prices by sellers.
Evening Star: Three-candle pattern (large green → small indecision → large red). Very strong top reversal.
Interactive Tooltips:
Unlike most pattern indicators that just draw shapes, this one is educational:
Hover your mouse over any pattern emoji
A tooltip appears explaining: what the pattern is, what it means, when it's most reliable, and how to trade it
No need to memorize - learn as you trade
Noise Filter:
"Min candle body % to filter noise" setting prevents false signals:
Patterns require minimum body size relative to price
Filters out tiny candles that don't represent real buying/selling pressure
Adjust based on asset volatility (higher % for crypto, lower for low-volatility stocks)
How to Trade Patterns:
Patterns are NOT standalone entry signals. Use them as:
Confirmation: UT Bot gives signal + pattern appears = stronger entry
Reversal Warning: In a trade, opposite pattern appears = consider tightening stop or taking profit
Support/Resistance Validation: Pattern at key level (PDH, VWAP, MA 200) = level is being respected
Best combined with:
UT Bot or Base signal in same direction
Bias Table alignment (AVG > 60% or < 40%)
Appearance at obvious support/resistance

7. VISUAL TOOLS AND FEATURES
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Session-anchored VWAP with standard deviation bands. Shows institutional "fair value" for the trading session.
Anchor Options: Session, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year. Choose based on your trading timeframe.
Bands: Up to three pairs (X1, X2, X3) showing statistical deviation. Price at outer bands often reverses.
Auto-Hide on HTF: VWAP hides on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts automatically unless you enable anchored mode.
Use VWAP as:
Directional bias (above = bullish, below = bearish)
Mean reversion levels (outer bands)
Support/resistance (the VWAP line itself)
Previous Day High/Low:
Automatically plots yesterday's high and low on intraday charts:
Updates at start of each new trading day
Theme-aware colors (dark text for light charts, light text for dark charts)
Hidden automatically on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts
These levels are critical for intraday traders - institutions watch them closely as support/resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Tracks the high/low of the first 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of the trading session:
Customizable session times (preset for NYSE, LSE, TSE, or custom)
Shows current breakout status in Bias Table row (ABOVE, BELOW, INSIDE, BUILDING)
Intraday only - auto-disabled on Daily+ charts
ORB is a classic day trading strategy - breakout above opening range often leads to continuation.
Extra Labels:
Change from Open %: Shows how far price has moved from session open (intraday) or daily open (HTF). Green if positive, red if negative.

8. HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Step 1: Add to Chart
Load the indicator on your chosen asset and timeframe
First time: Everything is enabled by default - the chart will look busy
Don't panic - you'll turn off what you don't need
Step 2: Start Simple
Turn OFF everything except:
UT Bot labels (keep these ON)
Bias Table (keep this ON)
Moving Averages (Fast and Medium only)
Suggested Stop Loss and Take Profits
Hide everything else initially. Get comfortable with the basic UT Bot + Bias Table workflow first.
Step 3: Learn the Core Workflow
UT Bot gives a Buy or Sell signal
Check Bias Table AVG column - do you have multi-timeframe alignment?
If yes, enter the trade
Place stop at Suggested Stop Loss line
Scale out at TP levels
Exit on opposite UT signal
Trade this simple system for a week. Get a feel for signal frequency and win rate with your settings.
Step 4: Add Filters Gradually
If you're getting too many losing signals (whipsaws in choppy markets), add filters one at a time:
Try: "Require 2-Bar Trend Confirmation" - wait for 2 bars to confirm direction
Try: ADX filter with minimum threshold - only trade when trend strength is sufficient
Try: RSI pullback filter - only enter on pullbacks, not chasing
Try: Volume filter - require above-average volume
Add one filter, test for a week, evaluate. Repeat.
Step 5: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)
Once you're profitable with the core system, add:
Supertrend for additional trend confirmation
Candlestick patterns for reversal warnings
VWAP for institutional anchor reference
ORB for intraday breakout context
ZLSMA for low-lag trend following
Step 6: Optimize Settings
Every setting has a detailed tooltip explaining what it does and typical values. Hover over any input to read:
What the parameter controls
How it impacts trading
Suggested ranges for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Start with defaults, then adjust based on your results and style.
Step 7: Set Up Alerts
Right-click chart → Add Alert → Condition: "Luxy Momentum v6" → Choose:
"UT Bot — Buy" for long entries
"UT Bot — Sell" for short entries
"Base Long/Short" for filtered MA cross signals
Optionally enable "Send real-time alert() on UT flip" in settings for immediate notifications.
Common Workflow Variations:
Conservative Trader:
UT signal + Base signal + Candlestick pattern + Bias AVG > 70%
Enter only at major support/resistance
Wider UT sensitivity, multiple filters
Aggressive Trader:
UT signal + Bias AVG > 60%
Enter immediately, no waiting
Tighter UT sensitivity, minimal filters
Swing Trader:
Focus on Daily/Weekly Bias alignment
Ignore intraday noise
Use ORB and PDH/PDL less (or not at all)
Wider stops, patient approach

9. PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION
The indicator is optimized for speed, but with 15+ features running simultaneously, chart load time can add up. Here's how to keep it fast:
Biggest Performance Gains:
Disable Unused Timeframes: In "Time Frames" settings, turn OFF any timeframe you don't actively trade. Each disabled TF saves 10-15% calculation time. If you only day trade 5m, 15m, 1h, disable 1m, 2h, 4h.
Hide Bias Table on Daily+: If you only trade intraday, enable "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above". This skips ALL table calculations on higher timeframes.
Draw UT Visuals Only on Bar Close: Reduces intrabar rendering of SL/TP/Entry lines. Has ZERO impact on logic or alerts - purely visual optimization.
Additional Optimizations:
Turn off VWAP bands if you don't use them
Disable candlestick patterns if you don't trade them
Turn off Supertrend fill if you find it distracting (keep the line)
Reduce "Limit to 10 bars" for SL/TP lines to minimize line objects
Performance Features Built-In:
Smart Caching: Higher timeframe data (3-day bias, weekly bias, etc.) updates once per day, not every bar
Conditional Calculations: Volume filter only calculates when enabled. Swing filter only runs when enabled. Nothing computes if turned off.
Modular Design: Every component is independent. Turn off what you don't need without breaking other features.
Typical Load Times:
5m chart, all features ON, 7 timeframes: ~2-3 seconds
5m chart, core features only, 3 timeframes: ~1 second
1m chart, all features: ~4-5 seconds (many bars to calculate)
If loading takes longer, you likely have too many indicators on the chart total (not just this one).

10. FAQ
Q: How is this different from standard UT Bot indicators?
A: Standard UT Bot (originally by @QuantNomad) is just the ATR trailing line and flip signals. This implementation adds:
- Volume weighting and momentum adjustment to the trailing calculation
- Multiple confirmation filters (swing, %, 2-bar, ZLSMA)
- Smart composite stop loss system from multiple S/R layers
- R-multiple take profit system with freeze-on-touch
- Integration with multi-timeframe Bias Table
- Visual audit trail with checkmarks
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator is designed for discretionary trading. While it has clear signals and alerts, it's not a mechanical system. Context and judgment are required.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: No. All signals respect bar close. UT Bot logic runs intrabar but signals only trigger on confirmed bars. Alerts fire correctly with no lookahead.
Q: Do I need to use all the features?
A: Absolutely not. The indicator is modular. Many profitable traders use just UT Bot + Bias Table + Moving Averages. Start simple, add complexity only if needed.
Q: How do I know which settings to use?
A: Every single input has a detailed tooltip. Hover over any setting to see:
What it does
How it affects trading
Typical values for scalping, day trading, swing trading
Start with defaults, adjust gradually based on results.
Q: Can I use this on crypto 24/7 markets?
A: Yes. ORB will not work (no defined session), but everything else functions normally. Use "Day" anchor for VWAP instead of "Session".
Q: The Bias Table is blank or not showing.
A: Check:
"Show Table" is ON
Table position isn't overlapping another indicator's table (change position)
At least one row is enabled
"Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" is OFF (if on Daily+ chart)
Q: Why are candlestick patterns not appearing?
A: Patterns are relatively rare by design - they only appear at genuine reversal points. Check:
Pattern toggles are ON
"Min candle body %" isn't too high (try 0.05-0.10)
You're looking at a chart with actual reversals (not strong trending market)
Q: UT Bot is too sensitive/not sensitive enough.
A: Adjust "Sensitivity (Key×ATR)". Lower number = tighter stop, more signals. Higher number = wider stop, fewer signals. Read the tooltip for guidance.
Q: Can I get alerts for the Bias Table?
A: The Bias Table is a dashboard for visual analysis, not a signal generator. Set alerts on UT Bot or Base signals, then manually check Bias Table for confirmation.
Q: Does this work on stocks with low volume?
A: Yes, but turn OFF the volume filter. Low volume stocks will never meet relative volume requirements.
Q: How often should I check the Bias Table?
A: Before every entry. It takes 2 seconds to glance at the AVG column and headline rows. This one check can save you from fighting the trend.
Q: What if UT signal and Base signal disagree?
A: UT Bot is more aggressive (ATR trailing). Base signals are more conservative (MA cross + filters). If they disagree, either:
Wait for both to align (safest)
Take the UT signal but with smaller size (aggressive)
Skip the trade (conservative)
There's no "right" answer - depends on your risk tolerance.

Happy Trading!
Camarilla Pivots + 20 EMA StrategyThis is an intraday volatility and trend-following system for commodities like Natural Gas, combining dynamic pivot levels (Camarilla) with a trend filter (20-period EMA) to improve risk-reward and reduce false breakouts.
Core Components
1. Camarilla Pivots:
These are special support and resistance levels (H3, H4, L3, L4) calculated each day based on the previous day's high, low, and close.
The pivots adapt to daily volatility, giving more relevant breakout and bounce zones than static lines.
H4: Aggressive resistance (used for breakout LONG entry)
H3: Moderate resistance/support (used for bounce or stoploss)
L4: Aggressive support (used for breakout SHORT entry)
L3: Moderate support/resistance (used for bounce or stoploss)
2. 20 EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Plotted on the 30-minute chart, this acts as a trend filter.
If the price is above 20 EMA: Only look for long trades (bullish bias).
If below 20 EMA: Only look for short trades (bearish bias).
How the Strategy Works
Setup (30-Min Chart):
Camarilla pivots for the day are drawn on the chart.
20 EMA is also plotted.
Trade Filter:
Bullish: Trade ONLY if price is above 20 EMA.
Bearish: Trade ONLY if price is below 20 EMA.
Entry:
LONG: Enter when price breaks and closes above the H4 pivot AND is above 20 EMA.
SHORT: Enter when price breaks and closes below the L4 pivot AND is below 20 EMA.
Stop Loss:
LONG: Place stoploss at H3 (the next lower Camarilla resistance).
SHORT: Place stoploss at L3 (the next higher Camarilla support).
Target:
Always set a profit target at 2x the distance (risk) between entry and stoploss (strict R:R 2).
For example, if your entry is at H4 and stoploss at H3, your target is entry + 2*(entry - stoploss).
Alerts & Visuals:
The strategy plots entry arrows, stoploss and target lines for immediate visual reference.
Alerts trigger on breakout signals so you never miss a trade.
Why This Works Well for Natural Gas
Adapts to volatility: The pivots change daily, handling wide-ranging and choppy price moves better than fixed breakouts.
Trend filter: EMA prevents counter-trend whipsaws, only trades with market momentum.
Risk control: Every trade must meet strict risk-reward criteria, so losses are contained and winners can outweigh losers.
Breaout and followthroughThis indicator is designed to identify and highlight a single, powerful entry signal at the beginning of a new trend. It filters for high-volatility breakout bars that show strong directional conviction, helping traders catch the initial momentum of a potential move. It will only paint one bullish or bearish signal after a trend change is detected, preventing repeat signals during a sustained move.
Core Concept
The indicator combines four key concepts to generate high-probability signals:
Trend Direction: It first establishes the overall trend (bullish or bearish) using a configurable Exponential or Simple Moving Average (EMA/SMA).
Volatility Expansion: It looks for bars with a larger-than-average range by comparing the bar's size to the Average True Range (ATR). This helps identify moments of increased market interest.
Closing Strength (IBS): It uses the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) to measure directional conviction. A high IBS (closing near the top) suggests bullish strength, while a low IBS (closing near the bottom) suggests bearish pressure.
Breakout Confirmation: As an optional but powerful filter, it can confirm the signal by ensuring the bar is breaking above the high or below the low of a user-defined number of previous bars.
A signal is only generated on the first bar that meets all these criteria after the price crosses the trend-defining moving average, making it ideal for capturing the start of a new swing.
Features
Bullish Signals (Green): Highlights the first bar in an uptrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a high IBS (>70), and optionally breaks out above the recent highs.
Bearish Signals (Red): Highlights the first bar in a downtrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a low IBS (<30), and optionally breaks out below the recent lows.
"First Signal Only" Logic: The script is hard-coded to show only the initial signal in a new trend, filtering out noise and redundant signals.
Fully Customizable Trend Filter:
Choose between EMA or SMA for trend definition.
Set the MA length (default is a short-term 7-period MA).
Option to show or hide the moving average on the chart.
Optional Breakout Filter:
Enable or disable the requirement for the signal bar to break the high/low of previous bars.
Customize the lookback period for the breakout confirmation.
How to Use
This indicator can be used as a primary signal for a trend-following or momentum-based trading system.
Look for a Green Bar (Bullish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential uptrend. Consider it a signal for a long entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed below the low of the highlighted signal bar.
Look for a Red Bar (Bearish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential downtrend. Consider it a signal for a short entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed above the high of the highlighted signal bar.
Adjust Settings: Use the settings menu to configure the indicator to your preferred market and timeframe. A longer Trend MA Length will result in fewer, more long-term signals, while a shorter length will be more responsive.
As with any tool, this indicator is best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as market structure, support/resistance levels, and proper risk management.
Z-Score Trend Channels [BackQuant]Z-Score Trend Channels
A self-contained price-statistics framework that turns a rolling z-score into price channels, bias states, and trade markers. Run either trend-following or mean-reversion from the same tool with clear, on-chart context.
What it is
A rolling statistical map that measures how far price is from its recent average in standard-deviation units (z-score).
Adaptive channels drawn in price space from fixed z thresholds, so the rails breathe with volatility.
A simple trend proxy from z-score momentum to separate trending from ranging conditions.
On-chart signals for pullback entries, stretched extremes, and practical exits.
Core idea (plain English math)
Rolling mean and volatility - Over a lookback you get the average price and its standard deviation.
Z-score - How many standard deviations the current price is above or below its average: z = (price - mean) / stdev. z near 0 means near average; positive is above; negative is below.
Noise control - An EMA smooths the raw z to reduce jitter and false flickers.
Channels back in price - Fixed z levels are converted back to price to form the upper, lower, and extreme rails.
Trend proxy - A smoothed change in z is used as a lightweight trend-strength line. Positive strength with positive z favors uptrend; negative strength with negative z favors downtrend.
What you see on the chart
Channels and fills - Mean, upper, lower, and optional extreme lines. The area mean->upper tints with the bearish color, mean->lower tints with the bullish color.
Background tint (optional) - Soft green, red, or neutral based on detected trend state.
Signals - Bullish Entry (triangle up) when z exits the oversold zone upward; Bearish Entry (triangle down) when z exits the overbought zone downward; Extreme markers (diamonds) at the extreme bands with a one-bar turn.
Table - Current z, trend state, trend strength, distance to bands, market state tag, and a quick volatility regime label.
Edge labels - MEAN, OB, and OS labels slightly projected forward with level values.
Inputs you will actually use
Z-Score Period - Lookback for mean and stdev. Larger = slower and steadier rails, smaller = more reactive.
Smoothing Period - EMA on z. Lower = earlier but choppier flips; higher = later but cleaner.
Price Source - Default hlc3. Choose close if you prefer session-close logic.
Upper and Lower Thresholds - Default around +2.0 and -2.0. Tighten for more signals, widen for fewer and stronger.
Extreme Upper and Lower - Deeper stretch guards, e.g., +/- 2.5.
Strength Period - EMA on z momentum. Sets how fast the trend proxy flips.
Trend Threshold - Minimum absolute z to accept a directional bias.
Visual toggles - Channels, signals, background tint, stats table, colors, and optional last-bar trend label.
How to use it: trend-following playbook
Read the state - Uptrend when z > Trend Threshold and trend strength > 0. Downtrend when z < -Trend Threshold and trend strength < 0. Neutral otherwise.
Entries - In an uptrend, prefer Bullish Entry signals that fire near the lower channel. In a downtrend, prefer Bearish Entry signals that fire near the upper channel.
Stops - Conservative: beyond the extreme channel on your side. Tighter: just outside the standard band that framed the signal.
Exits - For longs, exit or trim on a cross back through z = 0 or a clean tag of the upper threshold. For shorts, mirror with z = 0 up-cross or tag of the lower threshold. You can also reduce if trend strength flips against you.
Adds - In strong trends, additional signals near your side’s band can be add points. Avoid adding once z hovers near the opposite band for several bars.
How to use it: mean-reversion playbook
Find stretch - Standard reversions: Bullish Entry when z leaves the oversold zone upward; Bearish Entry when z leaves the overbought zone downward. Aggressive reversions: Extreme markers at extreme bands with a one-bar turn.
Entries - Take the signal as price exits the zone. Prefer setups where trend strength is near zero or tilting against the prior push.
Targets - First target is the mean line. A runner can aim for the opposite standard channel if momentum keeps flipping.
Stops - Outside the extreme band beyond your entry. If fading without extremes, place risk just beyond the opposite standard band.
Filters - Optional: skip counter-trend fades against a very strong trend state unless your risk is tight and predefined.
Reading the stats table
Current Z-Score - Magnitude and sign of displacement now.
Trend State - Uptrend, Downtrend, or Ranging.
Trend Strength - Smoothed z momentum. Higher absolute values imply stronger directional conviction.
Distance to Upper/Lower - Percent distance from price to each band, useful for sizing targets or judging room left.
Market State - Overbought, Oversold, Extreme OB, Extreme OS, or Normal.
Volatility Regime - High, Normal, or Low relative to recent distribution. Expect bands to widen in High and tighten in Low.
Parameter guidance (conceptual)
Z-Score Period - Choose longer for a structural mean, shorter for a reactive mean.
Smoothing Period - Lower for earlier but noisier reads; higher for slower but steadier reads.
Thresholds - Start around +/- 2.0. Tighten for scalping or quiet ranges. Widen for noisy or fast markets.
Trend Threshold and Strength Period - Raise to avoid weak, transient bias. Lower to capture earlier regime shifts.
Practical examples
Trend pullback long - State shows Uptrend. Price tests the lower channel; z dips near or below the lower threshold; a Bullish Entry prints. Stop just below extreme lower; first target mean; keep a runner if trend strength stays positive.
Mean-revert short - State is Ranging. z tags the extreme upper, an Extreme Bearish marker prints, then a Bearish Entry prints on the leave. Stop above extreme upper; target the mean; consider a runner toward the lower channel if strength turns negative.
Potential Questions you might have
Why z-score instead of fixed offsets - Because the bands adapt with volatility. When the tape gets quiet the rails tighten, when it runs hot the rails expand. Your entries stay normalized.
Do I need both modes - No. Many users run only trend pullbacks or only mean-reversions. The tool lets you toggle what you need and keep the chart readable.
Multi-timeframe workflow - A common approach is to set bias from a higher timeframe’s trend state and execute on a lower timeframe’s signals that align with it.
Summary
Z-Score Trend Channels gives you an adaptive mean, volatility-aware rails, a simple trend lens, and clear signals. Trade the trend by buying pullbacks in green and selling pullbacks in red, or fade stretched extremes back to the mean with defined risk. One framework, two strategies, consistent logic.
Opening Range IndicatorComplete Trading Guide: Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What Are Opening Ranges?
Opening ranges capture the high and low prices during the first few minutes of market open. These levels often act as key support and resistance throughout the trading day because:
Heavy volume occurs at market open as overnight orders execute
Institutional activity is concentrated during opening minutes
Price discovery happens as market participants react to overnight news
Psychological levels are established that traders watch all day
Understanding the Three Timeframes
OR5 (5-Minute Range: 9:30-9:35 AM)
Most sensitive - captures immediate market reaction
Quick signals but higher false breakout rate
Best for scalping and momentum trading
Use for early entry when conviction is high
OR15 (15-Minute Range: 9:30-9:45 AM)
Balanced approach - most popular among day traders
Moderate sensitivity with better reliability
Good for swing trades lasting several hours
Primary timeframe for most strategies
OR30 (30-Minute Range: 9:30-10:00 AM)
Most reliable but slower signals
Lower false breakout rate
Best for position trades and trend following
Use when looking for major moves
Core Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Basic Breakout
Setup:
Wait for price to break above OR15 high or below OR15 low
Enter on the breakout candle close
Stop loss: Opposite side of the range
Target: 2-3x the range size
Example:
OR15 range: $100.00 - $102.00 (Range = $2.00)
Long entry: Break above $102.00
Stop loss: $99.50 (below OR15 low)
Target: $104.00+ (2x range size)
Strategy 2: Multiple Confirmation
Setup:
Wait for OR5 break first (early signal)
Confirm with OR15 break in same direction
Enter on OR15 confirmation
Stop: Below OR30 if available, or OR15 opposite level
Why it works:
Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals and increases probability of sustained moves.
Strategy 3: Failed Breakout Reversal
Setup:
Price breaks OR15 level but fails to hold
Wait for re-entry into the range
Enter reversal trade toward opposite OR level
Stop: Recent breakout high/low
Target: Opposite side of range + extension
Key insight: Failed breakouts often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
Range Quality Assessment
High-Quality Ranges (Trade these):
Range size: 0.5% - 2% of stock price
Clean boundaries (not choppy)
Volume spike during range formation
Clear rejection at range levels
Low-Quality Ranges (Avoid these):
Very narrow ranges (<0.3% of stock price)
Extremely wide ranges (>3% of stock price)
Choppy, overlapping candles
Low volume during formation
Volume Confirmation
For Breakouts:
Look for volume spike (2x+ average) on breakout
Declining volume often signals false breakout
Rising volume during range formation shows interest
Market Context Filters
Best Conditions:
Trending market days (SPY/QQQ with clear direction)
Earnings reactions or news-driven moves
High-volume stocks with good liquidity
Volatility above average (VIX considerations)
Avoid Trading When:
Extremely low volume days
Major economic announcements pending
Holidays or half-days
Choppy, sideways market conditions
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Conservative: Risk 0.5% of account per trade
Moderate: Risk 1% of account per trade
Aggressive: Risk 2% maximum per trade
Stop Loss Placement
Inside the range: Quick exit but higher stop-out rate
Outside opposite level: More room but larger risk
ATR-based: 1.5-2x Average True Range below entry
Profit Taking
Target 1: 1x range size (take 50% off)
Target 2: 2x range size (take 25% off)
Runner: Trail remaining 25% with moving stops
Specific Entry Techniques
Breakout Entry Methods
Method 1: Immediate Entry
Enter as soon as price closes above/below range
Fastest entry but highest false signal rate
Best for strong momentum situations
Method 2: Pullback Entry
Wait for breakout, then pullback to range level
Enter when price bounces off former resistance/support
Better risk/reward but may miss some moves
Method 3: Volume Confirmation
Wait for breakout + volume spike
Enter after volume confirmation candle
Reduces false signals significantly
Multiple Timeframe Entries
Aggressive: OR5 break → immediate entry
Conservative: OR5 + OR15 + OR30 all align → enter
Balanced: OR15 break with OR30 support → enter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Trading Poor-Quality Ranges
❌ Don't trade ranges that are too narrow or too wide
✅ Focus on clean, well-defined ranges with good volume
2. Ignoring Volume
❌ Don't chase breakouts without volume confirmation
✅ Always check for volume spike on breakouts
3. Over-Trading
❌ Don't force trades when ranges are unclear
✅ Wait for high-probability setups only
4. Poor Risk Management
❌ Don't risk more than planned or use tight stops in volatile conditions
✅ Stick to predetermined risk levels
5. Fighting the Trend
❌ Don't fade breakouts in strongly trending markets
✅ Align trades with overall market direction

Stay disciplined - Stick to your rules even during losing streaks
Adapt to conditions - What works in trending markets may fail in choppy conditions
Keep learning - Markets evolve, so should your approach
The opening range strategy is powerful because it captures natural market behavior, but like all strategies, it requires practice, discipline, and proper risk management to be profitable long-term.
VWAP + Multi-Timeframe RSI StrategyThis strategy combines VWAP trend direction with confirmation from RSI on a higher timeframe. The idea is to only take trades when both intraday momentum and higher-timeframe trend are aligned, increasing accuracy.
LONG Entry:
Price above VWAP (bullish environment).
RSI on the current timeframe is below overbought (room to rise).
RSI on the higher timeframe (default H1) is above 50 (bullish confirmation).
SHORT Entry:
Price below VWAP (bearish environment).
RSI on the current timeframe is above oversold (room to fall).
RSI on the higher timeframe is below 50 (bearish confirmation).
Exit Rule:
Stop-loss near VWAP.
Take-profit at ~2x risk or when major levels are reached.
Best Timeframes:
Use 15m or 30m chart with H1 RSI for intraday trading.
Use 1H chart with Daily RSI for swing trading.
⚡ The higher-timeframe RSI filter reduces false signals and aligns trades with institutional flow.
Monday's Range Superpowerkyu🔔 Settings
You can customize the colors and toggle ON/OFF in the indicator settings.
Works on daily, hourly, and minute charts.
Easily visualize Monday’s high, low, and mid-line range.
📌 1. Support & Resistance with Monday’s Range
Monday High: Acts as the first resistance of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks above Monday’s high after Tuesday, it signals potential bullish continuation → long setup.
Monday Low: Acts as the first support of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks below Monday’s low, it signals bearish continuation → short setup.
📌 2. Mid-Line Trend Confirmation
Monday Mid-Line = average price of Monday.
Price above mid-line → bullish bias.
Price below mid-line → bearish bias.
Use mid-line breaks as entry confirmation for long/short positions.
📌 3. Breakout Strategy
Break of Monday’s High = bullish breakout → long entry.
Break of Monday’s Low = bearish breakout → short entry.
Place stop-loss inside Monday’s range for a conservative approach.
📌 4. False Breakout Strategy
If price breaks Monday’s high/low but then falls back inside Monday’s range, it is a False Breakout.
Strategy: Trade in the opposite direction.
◽ False Breakout at High → short.
◽ False Breakout at Low → long.
Stop-loss at the wick (extreme point) of the failed breakout.
📌 5. Range-Based Scalping
Use Monday’s high and low as a trading range.
Sell near Monday’s High, buy near Monday’s Low, repeat until breakout occurs.
📌 6. Weekly Volatility Forecast
Narrow Monday range → higher chance of strong trend later in the week.
Wide Monday range → lower volatility expected during the week.
📌 7. Pattern & Trend Analysis within Monday Range
Look for candlestick patterns around Monday’s High/Low/Mid-Line.
◽ Example: Double Top near Monday’s High = short setup.
◽ Repeated bounce at Mid-Line = strong long opportunity.
✅ Summary
The Monday’s Range (Superpowerkyu) Indicator helps traders:
Identify weekly support & resistance
Confirm trend direction with Mid-Line
Trade breakouts & false breakouts
Apply range scalping strategies
Forecast weekly volatility
⚡ Especially, the False Breakout strategy is powerful as it captures failed moves and sudden sentiment reversals.
FiniteStateMachine🟩 OVERVIEW
A flexible framework for creating, testing and implementing a Finite State Machine (FSM) in your script. FSMs use rules to control how states change in response to events.
This is the first Finite State Machine library on TradingView and it's quite a different way to think about your script's logic. Advantages of using this vs hardcoding all your logic include:
• Explicit logic : You can see all rules easily side-by-side.
• Validation : Tables show your rules and validation results right on the chart.
• Dual approach : Simple matrix for straightforward transitions; map implementation for concurrent scenarios. You can combine them for complex needs.
• Type safety : Shows how to use enums for robustness while maintaining string compatibility.
• Real-world examples : Includes both conceptual (traffic lights) and practical (trading strategy) demonstrations.
• Priority control : Explicit control over which rules take precedence when multiple conditions are met.
• Wildcard system : Flexible pattern matching for states and events.
The library seems complex, but it's not really. Your conditions, events, and their potential interactions are complex. The FSM makes them all explicit, which is some work. However, like all "good" pain in life, this is front-loaded, and *saves* pain later, in the form of unintended interactions and bugs that are very hard to find and fix.
🟩 SIMPLE FSM (MATRIX-BASED)
The simple FSM uses a matrix to define transition rules with the structure: state > event > state. We look up the current state, check if the event in that row matches, and if it does, output the resulting state.
Each row in the matrix defines one rule, and the first matching row, counting from the top down, is applied.
A limitation of this method is that you can supply only ONE event.
You can design layered rules using widlcards. Use an empty string "" or the special string "ANY" for any state or event wildcard.
The matrix FSM is foruse where you have clear, sequential state transitions triggered by single events. Think traffic lights, or any logic where only one thing can happen at a time.
The demo for this FSM is of traffic lights.
🟩 CONCURRENT FSM (MAP-BASED)
The map FSM uses a more complex structure where each state is a key in the map, and its value is an array of event rules. Each rule maps a named condition to an output (event or next state).
This FSM can handle multiple conditions simultaneously. Rules added first have higher priority.
Adding more rules to existing states combines the entries in the map (if you use the supplied helper function) rather than overwriting them.
This FSM is for more complex scenarios where multiple conditions can be true simultaneously, and you need to control which takes precedence. Like trading strategies, or any system with concurrent conditions.
The demo for this FSM is a trading strategy.
🟩 HOW TO USE
Pine Script libraries contain reusable code for importing into indicators. You do not need to copy any code out of here. Just import the library and call the function you want.
For example, for version 1 of this library, import it like this:
import SimpleCryptoLife/FiniteStateMachine/1
See the EXAMPLE USAGE sections within the library for examples of calling the functions.
For more information on libraries and incorporating them into your scripts, see the Libraries section of the Pine Script User Manual.
🟩 TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
Both FSM implementations support wildcards using blank strings "" or the special string "ANY". Wildcards match in this priority order:
• Exact state + exact event match
• Exact state + empty event (event wildcard)
• Empty state + exact event (state wildcard)
• Empty state + empty event (full wildcard)
When multiple rules match the same state + event combination, the FIRST rule encountered takes priority. In the matrix FSM, this means row order determines priority. In the map FSM, it's the order you add rules to each state.
The library uses user-defined types for the map FSM:
• o_eventRule : Maps a condition name to an output
• o_eventRuleWrapper : Wraps an array of rules (since maps can't contain arrays directly)
Everything uses strings for maximum library compatibility, though the examples show how to use enums for type safety by converting them to strings.
Unlike normal maps where adding a duplicate key overwrites the value, this library's `m_addRuleToEventMap()` method *combines* rules, making it intuitive to build rule sets without breaking them.
🟩 VALIDATION & ERROR HANDLING
The library includes comprehensive validation functions that catch common FSM design errors:
Error detection:
• Empty next states
• Invalid states not in the states array
• Duplicate rules
• Conflicting transitions
• Unreachable states (no entry/exit rules)
Warning detection:
• Redundant wildcards
• Empty states/events (potential unintended wildcards)
• Duplicate conditions within states
You can display validation results in tables on the chart, with tooltips providing detailed explanations. The helper functions to display the tables are exported so you can call them from your own script.
🟩 PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
The library includes four comprehensive demos:
Traffic Light Demo (Simple FSM) : Uses the matrix FSM to cycle through traffic light states (red → red+amber → green → amber → red) with timer events. Includes pseudo-random "break" events and repair logic to demonstrate wildcards and priority handling.
Trading Strategy Demo (Concurrent FSM) : Implements a realistic long-only trading strategy using BOTH FSM types:
• Map FSM converts multiple technical conditions (EMA crosses, gaps, fractals, RSI) into prioritised events
• Matrix FSM handles state transitions (idle → setup → entry → position → exit → re-entry)
• Includes position management, stop losses, and re-entry logic
Error Demonstrations : Both FSM types include error demos with intentionally malformed rules to showcase the validation system's capabilities.
🟩 BRING ON THE FUNCTIONS
f_printFSMMatrix(_mat_rules, _a_states, _tablePosition)
Prints a table of states and rules to the specified position on the chart. Works only with the matrix-based FSM.
Parameters:
_mat_rules (matrix)
_a_states (array)
_tablePosition (simple string)
Returns: The table of states and rules.
method m_loadMatrixRulesFromText(_mat_rules, _rulesText)
Loads rules into a rules matrix from a multiline string where each line is of the form "current state | event | next state" (ignores empty lines and trims whitespace).
This is the most human-readable way to define rules because it's a visually aligned, table-like format.
Namespace types: matrix
Parameters:
_mat_rules (matrix)
_rulesText (string)
Returns: No explicit return. The matrix is modified as a side-effect.
method m_addRuleToMatrix(_mat_rules, _currentState, _event, _nextState)
Adds a single rule to the rules matrix. This can also be quite readble if you use short variable names and careful spacing.
Namespace types: matrix
Parameters:
_mat_rules (matrix)
_currentState (string)
_event (string)
_nextState (string)
Returns: No explicit return. The matrix is modified as a side-effect.
method m_validateRulesMatrix(_mat_rules, _a_states, _showTable, _tablePosition)
Validates a rules matrix and a states array to check that they are well formed. Works only with the matrix-based FSM.
Checks: matrix has exactly 3 columns; no empty next states; all states defined in array; no duplicate states; no duplicate rules; all states have entry/exit rules; no conflicting transitions; no redundant wildcards. To avoid slowing down the script unnecessarily, call this method once (perhaps using `barstate.isfirst`), when the rules and states are ready.
Namespace types: matrix
Parameters:
_mat_rules (matrix)
_a_states (array)
_showTable (bool)
_tablePosition (simple string)
Returns: `true` if the rules and states are valid; `false` if errors or warnings exist.
method m_getStateFromMatrix(_mat_rules, _currentState, _event, _strictInput, _strictTransitions)
Returns the next state based on the current state and event, or `na` if no matching transition is found. Empty (not na) entries are treated as wildcards if `strictInput` is false.
Priority: exact match > event wildcard > state wildcard > full wildcard.
Namespace types: matrix
Parameters:
_mat_rules (matrix)
_currentState (string)
_event (string)
_strictInput (bool)
_strictTransitions (bool)
Returns: The next state or `na`.
method m_addRuleToEventMap(_map_eventRules, _state, _condName, _output)
Adds a single event rule to the event rules map. If the state key already exists, appends the new rule to the existing array (if different). If the state key doesn't exist, creates a new entry.
Namespace types: map
Parameters:
_map_eventRules (map)
_state (string)
_condName (string)
_output (string)
Returns: No explicit return. The map is modified as a side-effect.
method m_addEventRulesToMapFromText(_map_eventRules, _configText)
Loads event rules from a multiline text string into a map structure.
Format: "state | condName > output | condName > output | ..." . Pairs are ordered by priority. You can have multiple rules on the same line for one state.
Supports wildcards: Use an empty string ("") or the special string "ANY" for state or condName to create wildcard rules.
Examples: " | condName > output" (state wildcard), "state | > output" (condition wildcard), " | > output" (full wildcard).
Splits lines by \n, extracts state as key, creates/appends to array with new o_eventRule(condName, output).
Call once, e.g., on barstate.isfirst for best performance.
Namespace types: map
Parameters:
_map_eventRules (map)
_configText (string)
Returns: No explicit return. The map is modified as a side-effect.
f_printFSMMap(_map_eventRules, _a_states, _tablePosition)
Prints a table of map-based event rules to the specified position on the chart.
Parameters:
_map_eventRules (map)
_a_states (array)
_tablePosition (simple string)
Returns: The table of map-based event rules.
method m_validateEventRulesMap(_map_eventRules, _a_states, _a_validEvents, _showTable, _tablePosition)
Validates an event rules map to check that it's well formed.
Checks: map is not empty; wrappers contain non-empty arrays; no duplicate condition names per state; no empty fields in o_eventRule objects; optionally validates outputs against matrix events.
NOTE: Both "" and "ANY" are treated identically as wildcards for both states and conditions.
To avoid slowing down the script unnecessarily, call this method once (perhaps using `barstate.isfirst`), when the map is ready.
Namespace types: map
Parameters:
_map_eventRules (map)
_a_states (array)
_a_validEvents (array)
_showTable (bool)
_tablePosition (simple string)
Returns: `true` if the event rules map is valid; `false` if errors or warnings exist.
method m_getEventFromConditionsMap(_currentState, _a_activeConditions, _map_eventRules)
Returns a single event or state string based on the current state and active conditions.
Uses a map of event rules where rules are pre-sorted by implicit priority via load order.
Supports wildcards using empty string ("") or "ANY" for flexible rule matching.
Priority: exact match > condition wildcard > state wildcard > full wildcard.
Namespace types: series string, simple string, input string, const string
Parameters:
_currentState (string)
_a_activeConditions (array)
_map_eventRules (map)
Returns: The output string (event or state) for the first matching condition, or na if no match found.
o_eventRule
o_eventRule defines a condition-to-output mapping for the concurrent FSM.
Fields:
condName (series string) : The name of the condition to check.
output (series string) : The output (event or state) when the condition is true.
o_eventRuleWrapper
o_eventRuleWrapper wraps an array of o_eventRule for use as map values (maps cannot contain collections directly).
Fields:
a_rules (array) : Array of o_eventRule objects for a specific state.
Small-Cap — Sell Every Spike (Rendon1) Small-Cap — Sell Every Spike v6 — Strict, No Look-Ahead
Educational use only. This is not financial advice or a signal service.
This strategy targets low/ mid-float runners (≤ ~20M) that make parabolic spikes. It shorts qualified spikes and scales out into flushes. Logic is deliberately simple and transparent to avoid curve-fit.
What the strategy does
Detects a parabolic up move using:
Fast ROC over N bars
Big range vs ATR
Volume spike vs SMA
Fresh higher high (no stale spikes)
Enters short at bar close when conditions are met (no same-bar fills).
Manages exits with ATR targets and optional % covers.
Tracks float rotation intraday (manual float input) and blocks trades above a hard limit.
Draws daily spike-high resistance from confirmed daily bars (no repaint / no look-ahead).
Timeframes & market
Designed for 1–5 minute charts.
Intended for US small-caps; turn Premarket on.
Works intraday; avoid illiquid tickers or names with constant halts.
Entry, Exit, Risk (short side)
Entry: parabolic spike (ROC + Range≥ATR×K + Vol≥SMA×K, new HH).
Optional confirmations (OFF by default to “sell every spike”): upper-wick and VWAP cross-down.
Stop: ATR stop above entry (default 1.2× ATR).
Targets: TP1 = 1.0× ATR, TP2 = 2.0× ATR + optional 10/20/30% covers.
Safety: skip trades if RVOL is low or Float Rotation exceeds your limit (default warn 5×, hard 7×).
Inputs (Balanced defaults)
Price band: $2–$10
Float Shares: set per ticker (from Finviz).
RVOL(50) ≥ 1.5×
ROC(5) ≥ 1.0%, Range ≥ 1.6× ATR, Vol ≥ 1.8× SMA
Cooldown: 10 bars; Max trades/day: 6
Optional: Require wick (≥35%) and/or Require VWAP cross-down.
Presets suggestion:
• Balanced (defaults above)
• Safer: wick+VWAP ON, Range≥1.8×, trades/day 3–4
• Micro-float (<5M): ROC 1.4–1.8%, Range≥1.9–2.2×, Vol≥2.2×, RVOL≥2.0, wick 40–50%
No look-ahead / repaint notes
Daily spike-highs use request.security(..., lookahead_off) and shifted → only closed daily bars.
Orders arm next bar after entry; entries execute at bar close.
VWAP/ATR/ROC/Vol/RVOL are computed on the chart timeframe (no HTF peeking).
How to use
Build a watchlist: Float <20M, RelVol >2, Today +20% (Finviz).
Open 1–5m chart, enter Float Shares for the ticker.
Start with Balanced, flip to Safer on halty/SSR names or repeated VWAP reclaims.
Scale out into flushes; respect the stop and rotation guard.
Limitations & risk
Backtests on small-caps can be optimistic due to slippage, spreads, halts, SSR, and limited premarket data. Always use conservative sizing. Low-float stocks can squeeze violently.
Alerts
Parabolic UP (candidate short)
SHORT Armed (conditions met; entry at bar close)
Bias + VWAP Pullback — v4 (PA + BOS/CHOCH)Simple idea: I identify the trend (bias) from the larger timeframe, and only trade pullbacks to the VWAP/EMA during liquidity (London/New York). When the trend is clear, gold moves strongly, and its pullbacks to the balance lines provide clear opportunities.
Timeframe and Sessions (Cairo Time)
Analysis: H1 to determine the trend.
Implementation: 5m (or 1m if professional).
Trading window:
London Opening: 10:00–12:30
New York Opening: 16:30–19:00
(avoid the rest of the day unless there is exceptional traffic).
Direction determination (BIAS)
On H1:
If the price is above the 200 EMA and the daily VWAP is bullish and the price is above it → uptrend (long-only).
If the price is below the 200 EMA and the daily VWAP is bearish and the price is below it → bearish trend (short-only).
Determine your levels: yesterday's high/low (PDH/PDL) + approximate Asia range (03:00–09:30).
Entry Rules (Setup A: Trend Continuation)
Asia range breakout towards Bias during liquidity window.
Wait for a withdrawal to:
Daily VWAP, or
EMA50 on 5m frame (best if both cross).
Confirmation: Confirmation low/high on 5m (HL buy/LH sell) + clear impulse candle (Body is greater than average of last 10 candles).
Entry:
Buy: When the price returns above VWAP/EMA50 with a confirmation candle close.
Sell: The exact opposite.
Stop Loss (SL): Below/above the last confirmation low/high or ATR(14, 5m) x 1.5 (largest).
Objectives:
TP1 = 1R (Close 50% and move the rest Break-even).
TP2 = 2.5R to 3R or at an important HTF level (PDH/PDL/Bid/Demand Zone).
Entry Rules (Setup B: Reversion to VWAP – “Mean Reversion”)
Use with extreme caution, once daily maximum:
Price deviation from VWAP by more than ~1.5 x ATR(14, 5m) with rejection candles appearing near PDH/PDL.
Reverse entry towards the return of VWAP.
SL small behind rejection top/bottom.
Main target: VWAP. (Don't get greedy — this scenario is for extended periods only.)
News Filtering and Risk Management
Avoid trading 15–30 minutes before/after strong US news (CPI, NFP, FOMC).
Maximum daily loss: 1.5–2% of account balance.
Risk per trade: 0.25–0.5% (if you are learning) or 0.5–1% (if you are experienced).
Do not exceed two consecutive losing trades per day.
Don't chase the market after the opportunity has passed — wait for the next pullback.
Smart Deal Management
After TP1: Move stop to entry point + trail the rest with EMA20 on 5m or ATR Trailing = ATR(14)×1.0.
If the price touches a strong daily level (PDH/PDL) and fails to break, consider taking additional profit.
If VWAP starts to flatten and breaks against the trend on H1, stop trading for the day.
Quick Checklist (Before Entry)
H1 trend is clear and consistent with 200EMA + VWAP.
Penetrating the Asia range towards Bias.
Clean pull to VWAP/EMA50 on 5m.
Confirmation candle and real push.
SL is logical (behind swing/ATR×1.5) and R :R ≥ 1:2.
No red news coming soon.
Example of "ready-made" settings
EMA: 20, 50, 200 on 5m, 200 only on H1.
VWAP: Daily (reset daily).
ATR: 14 on 5m.
Levels: PDH/PDL + Asia Band (03:00–09:30 Cairo).
Gold Notes
Gold is fast and sharp at the open; don't get in early — wait for the draw.
Fakeouts are common before news: it is best to call with the trend after the price returns above/below VWAP.
Don't expect 80% consistent wins every day — the advantage comes from discipline, filtering out bad days, and only withdrawing when you're on the right track.

TURT Donchian Ladder v3.13How to trade TURT+ with the v3.13 script
1) Pick the system & arm the entry
• In the script, choose System = S1 (20D) or S2 (55D).
The HUD always shows both rails for reference, but the ladder (Entry/+Adds) uses the system you pick.
• Your Entry is shown as Pivot + 0.1×N (rounded).
• Place a stop-limit “parent” order at that Entry price. (Classic Turtle uses an entry stop; I suggest a tight limit offset so you don’t chase a blow-through.)
• Initial stop = N2 = Entry − 2×N (rounded). Put that in immediately.
If you like only confirming on a bar close, leave confirmClose = true and place the parent after the close that breaks out. If you want intrabar fills, set confirmClose = false and keep the stop-limit active intraday.
2) Size it the way you planned
• Set acctEquity / riskCapPct / posCapUSD / entryFrac / entryRiskFrac / sizingMode.
• HUD gives Rec Entry Qty (when flat) and, once in, it shows:
• Next Rung (price)
• Suggested AddShares (honors RiskCap & PosCap)
• Proj Stop if Add (ratcheted N2)
• A limiter note (RiskCap or PosCap) if you’re constrained.
3) After entry fills, stage the ADDs (only at fixed +N steps)
• Adds are NOT “every Donchian break.” You add only at:
• Add-1 = Entry + 0.5×N
• Add-2 = Entry + 1.0×N
• Add-3 = Entry + 1.5×N (optional)
• Use the HUD’s Suggested AddShares for each rung (it respects your RiskCap/PosCap).
• Place stop-limit orders for each add (either immediately as a contingent OTO chain that arms only after Entry fills, or you arm each add when price approaches—your choice).
• On each add fill, ratchet the catastrophic stop for the entire position to Last-Add − 2×N (the script and HUD show Proj Stop if Add so you know where it will land). Never move it lower.
Pro tip: If your broker supports OTO/OTOCO:
• OTO parent = Entry stop-limit.
• On fill, fire an OCO with the N2 stop (no target), and also stage child stop-limits for Add-1 / Add-2 / Add-3 with the correct sizes. If your broker can’t chain that deep, just use the script’s alerts (Entry/Add-1/Add-2/Add-3/Exits) to place/adjust orders quickly.
4) Exits (two layers)
• Catastrophic (always on): the N2 stop you’re ratcheting (Last-Add − 2×N).
• Trend exits (runner):
• S1: 10-low close (HUD shows it).
• S2: 20-low close (HUD shows it).
• Profit-taking (optional): sell ~50% at +2.5R to +3R vs current N2; let the runner trail with 10-low/20-low. You can keep N2 as a hard backstop.
5) Should you pre-set everything or buy live?
Both work; pick the style that fits you:
Preset (Turtle-pure, rules-based)
• ✅ You won’t miss the breakout; minimal discretion.
• ✅ Broker handles fills even if you’re away.
• ⚠️ You may get the occasional intraday “poke” (use confirmClose + place after close if you want fewer).
Buy on break manually
• ✅ Lets you check tape/volume or any extra gates before clicking.
• ⚠️ Higher chance of slippage or of simply missing the trigger.
A nice hybrid: place the Entry order, then arm Add-1/2/3 when price is nearing each rung and the HUD shows Suggested AddShares > 0 (green risk read).
⸻
6) Quick checklist per trade
1. System: S1 or S2?
2. Levels: Entry / Add-1 / Add-2 / Add-3 / 10-low / 20-low / N2 (rounded).
3. Sizing: confirm RiskCap/PosCap; HUD shows Suggested AddShares and limiter.
4. Orders:
• Parent Entry stop-limit.
• N2 stop (rounded).
• Stage adds (stop-limits) with sizes from HUD.
5. On fill: ratchet stop to Last-Add − 2×N; adjust remaining adds and sizes.
⸻
7) Example with your MU position (pattern)
• You’re already in: set entryQty and entryPman in the inputs to match your fill.
• HUD now focuses on Next Rung, Suggested AddShares, and Proj Stop if Add.
• If Suggested AddShares = 0 and limiter says RiskCap or PosCap, you’ll still see the next rung price and Proj Stop if Add so you can decide whether to override.
⸻
Bottom line
• Entry: buy the Donchian breakout + 0.1N with a stop-limit (Turtle style).
• Adds: only at +0.5N steps, sized by HUD; not on every future Donchian break.
• Stops: keep (and ratchet) the N2 catastrophic; trail runner on 10-low / 20-low.
If you want, tell me your broker/platform and I’ll map this to exact order ticket types (stop-limit/OTO/OCO) and a tiny checklist you can keep next to your screen.
