Strategy Builder v1.0.0 [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Strategy Builder combines advanced price-action logic, smart-money concepts, and volatility-adaptive momentum signals to automate high-quality entries and exits across any market. It blends trend recognition, market structure shifts, order block reactions, imbalance (FVG) signals, liquidity sweeps, candlestick confirmations, and oscillator-powered divergences into one cohesive engine.
Whether used as a full automation workflow or as a structured confirmation framework, this strategy provides a disciplined, rules-driven method to trade with logic — not emotion.
🔵 BACKTEST WINDOW CONTROL
This module allows you to restrict strategy execution to a specific historical period.
Ideal for performance isolation, regime testing, and forward-walk validation.
Limit Backtest Window
Enabling this option activates custom date filters for the backtest engine.
Start — Define the starting date & time for backtesting
End — Define the ending date & time for backtesting
Only trades and signals inside this window are executed
Reduces computation load on large datasets
Useful for testing specific market environments (e.g., bull cycles, crash periods, sideways regimes)
🔵 SIGNAL GLOSSARY (Advanced Technical Explanation)
Traders can build long and short setups using up to 6 configurable entry conditions for each direction.
Every condition can be set as Bullish or Bearish and mapped to any signal source — allowing deep customization
Below is the full internal logic overview of every signal available in the Strategy Builder.
Signals are based on trend models, volatility structures, liquidity logic, oscillator behavior, and market structure mapping.

Advanced Divergence Engine
Momentum/price disagreement layer with multi-trigger confirmation.
Normal Divergence — Classic divergence reversal.
Hidden Divergence — Trend continuation divergence.
Multiple Divergence — Multiple divergence confirmations stacked → high confidence.
🔧 Adjustable Signal Logic
Some signals in this system can be additionally refined through the strategy settings panel.
This allows traders to tune internal behavior for different market regimes, assets, and volatility conditions.
🔵 LONG / SHORT EXIT CONDITIONS
This section allows you to automate exits using the same advanced market conditions available for entries.
Each exit rule consists of:
Toggle — Enable/disable individual exit rule.
Direction Filter — Trigger exit only if selected market bias appears (Bullish/Bearish).
Signal Type — Choose which market event triggers the exit (same list as entry conditions).
When the active conditions are met, the strategy automatically closes the current position — ensuring emotion-free risk management and systematic trade control.
🔵 TAKE PROFIT & STOP LOSS SYSTEM
This strategy builder provides a fully dynamic risk-management engine designed for both systematic traders and discretionary confirmation users.
Take Profit Logic
Scale out of trades progressively or exit fully using algorithmic TP levels.
Up to 3 Take-Profit targets available
Choose TP calculation method:
• ATR-based distance (volatility-adaptive targets)
• %-based distance (fixed percentage from entry)
Define Size — ATR multiplier or % value
Custom Exit Size per TP (e.g., 25% / 25% / 50%)
Visual TP plotting on chart for clarity
Stop Loss Logic
Automated protection logic for every trade.
Two SL Modes:
• Fixed Stop Loss — static SL from entry
• Trailing Stop Loss — SL follows price as trade progresses
Distance options:
• ATR multiplier (adapts to volatility)
• %-based from entry (fixed distance)
SL dynamically draws on chart for transparency
Trailing SL behavior:
Follows price only in profitable direction
Never moves against the trade
Locks profits as trend develops
🔵 Strategy Dashboard
A compact on-chart performance dashboard is included to help monitor live trade status and backtest results in real time.
It displays key metrics:
Start Capital — Initial account balance used in simulation.
Position Size — % of capital allocated per trade based on user settings (It changes if the trade hits take profits, when more than one take profit is selected).
Current Trade — Shows active trade direction (Long / Short) and real-time % return from entry.
Closed Trades — Counter of completed positions, useful for reading sample size during testing.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Strategy Builder brings together a powerful suite of smart-money and momentum-driven signals, allowing traders to automate robust trade logic built on modern market structure concepts. With access to trend filters, order blocks, liquidity events, divergence signals, volatility cues, and session-based triggers, it provides a deeply adaptive trade engine capable of fitting many market environments.

CEO Synapse v1.0CEO Synapse — Uyarlanabilir Rejim Stratejisi
This script is invite-only.
What Does This Strategy Do?
Markets are complex systems requiring various expertise. The "CEO Synapse" strategy adopts a "digital dashboard" approach based on the reality that a single viewpoint is insufficient. The strategy combines multiple analytical engines, each developed by me, analyzing different aspects of the market (structure, momentum, rhythm). It detects trend and momentum deviations in markets. A trading decision is made only when there is consensus among these expert engines. The "Synapse Engine" uses adaptive filtering and consensus logic for position management based on market regime (trend/range).
It eliminates the problem of traditional indicators generating misleading signals alone and failing to adapt to volatility and regime changes. Its dynamic threshold mechanism, adaptive periods, and special noise filters reduce unnecessary trades.
Original Methodology and Proprietary Logic: This algorithm does not rely on or copy any open source strategy code. The system uses commonly accepted indicators' mathematical principles such as ADX, EMA, SMA, ATR, True Range, etc., as data sources. The author's methodology combines dynamic period EMA, multi-filter consensus, adaptive threshold, and regime-based execution.
Though our strategy creates an original decision-making mechanism, it leverages foundational building blocks of technical analysis. The traditional indicators we use and their purposes are:
ADX (Average Directional Index): This indicator measures a trend’s strength, not its direction. Our strategy uses ADX as a filter to open positions only under sufficiently strong and distinct trend market conditions. This largely prevents misleading signals in weak or sideways markets.
Moving Averages (EMA and SMA): They form the backbone to determine the main trend direction. By smoothing price data, they reduce noise and reveal the market's general trend. But our strategy processes their outputs not as traditional crossover signals, but as input to an advanced consensus logic with dynamically adjusted periods based on market rhythm combined with other filters.
ATR (Average True Range): This indicator does not produce direct buy-sell signals but measures current market volatility. Especially in "Sideways Market" regime, take profit and stop loss levels are dynamically set based on ATR instead of fixed values, enabling risk management to adapt to market conditions.
Bollinger Band Logic (using Standard Deviation): Though the strategy does not plot Bollinger Bands directly, it uses Standard Deviation, the underlying mathematical concept, to detect excessive price deviations and volatility spikes, producing critical signals for the AMF PG core engine.
"Synapse Engine" consists of two layers: Decision Center (Dynamic Threshold) which automatically adjusts risk appetite based on performance and regime; and Filter Committee (Consensus Score) which weights separate filters to produce a single score. This combination is not reproducible and commercially valuable. Closed source is mandatory.
No classic open source code used. Only publicly available indicators are used. Parameters, order, and usage are fully customized.
Generated Signals: Trend/range entry/exit (long/short), adaptive trailing stop position management, additional risk control signals with Shock Absorber and Quantum Filter.
Purpose: Detect trend breaks and momentum deviations. Components: Volatility filters, adaptive signal weighting, EMA/SMA. Methodology: Combines price and volume change rates via dynamic weighting functions.
What Problem Does CEO Synapse Solve?
CEO Synapse addresses three main issues caused by traditional technical analysis and single indicator usage:
Problem: Misleading Signals and Market Noise
Traditional indicators (MACD, RSI, etc.) generate many "false" buy-sell signals, especially in sideways and choppy markets, causing traders to constantly enter and exit positions (whipsaw) and incur losses.
CEO Synapse Solution: The strategy never relies on a single signal. The Consensus-Based Decision Mechanism ensures no position is opened unless different analytical engines (structural, momentum, rhythm) agree. This "board of directors" approach filters market noise, processing only high-probability signals.
Problem: Static Analysis and Changing Market Conditions
Markets constantly change character; sometimes strong trend, sometimes narrow range. Most strategies try to function with fixed parameters across all conditions, leading to failure.
CEO Synapse Solution: The strategy has Adaptive Regime Switching. It actively analyzes whether the market is in "Trend Mode" or "Sideways Market Mode" and automatically adjusts entry/exit rules and risk management (take profit/stop loss) to the current regime, allowing chameleon-like adaptation to conditions.
Problem: Fixed Parameters and Declining Performance
Many traders believe they find the "best" settings and never change them for months or years. But as market volatility and cycles change, fixed settings lose effectiveness.
CEO Synapse Solution: The strategy operates on Full Adaptation principle.
Market Rhythm Adaptation: Dynamically adjusts analysis speed (e.g., EMA periods) according to market’s natural cycles.
Performance Adaptation: Continuously optimizes risk appetite (signal threshold) based on recent strategy performance, becoming bolder with gains and more cautious with losses.
In summary, CEO Synapse simplifies decision-making, eliminates market noise, and smartly adapts to changing market conditions, protecting the user from common mistakes.
Why "Invite-Only"?
Offering CEO Synapse as "Invite-Only" is a strategic decision to protect the strategy's commercial value and intellectual property and to provide users with the highest quality experience. Key reasons:
Protection of Proprietary IP:
CEO Synapse is the result of hundreds of hours of research, development, and testing. Its consensus logic, adaptive threshold mechanism, and engine integration are unique and patented. Open sourcing it would instantly destroy this trade secret and competitive edge.
Maintaining Performance Integrity and Effectiveness:
Uncontrolled distribution could lead to misuse or signal theft and sale by malicious actors. The invite-only model preserves the strategy’s integrity and ensures access only for serious investors.
Quality User Experience and Support:
Controlled distribution allows better user experience. High-quality documentation explaining features and best practices can be provided, and future updates and support services can be managed better for a limited user base.
Business Model:
CEO Synapse is positioned as a premium analysis tool. Invite-only access reflects its value and compensates the developer for ongoing maintenance, support, and future improvements.
Usage: Available on all timeframes.
Based entirely on my own adaptive filtering methodology.
Proprietary logic: The algorithm’s unique, non-reproducible logic and methodology. Example: Multi-filter consensus + adaptive threshold + regime-based execution.
Why Is This a Premium Tool?
"CEO Synapse"’s value stems from being a proprietary, integrated system beyond free standard indicators:
Advanced Noise Filtering: Not just reduces noise but adjusts filter sensitivity to current market character. Inspired by public mathematical concepts (cycle analysis, statistical filtering) but uniquely combined with proprietary weighting mechanisms and adaptive consensus logic forming the strategy's commercial value. Core indicators (EMA, ATR, ADX, DMI, etc.) are uniquely processed inside this proprietary system.
Full Adaptation: Instead of fixed parameters, the strategy continuously adapts to the market's natural rhythm, volatility, and past performance.
Consensus-Based Decision Making: Relies on collective intelligence of multiple analytical engines, not a single failure point.
These features substantially increase the ability to extract meaningful, actionable insights from raw market data, making it premium. It improves signal accuracy, reduces risk, and adapts to regime shifts. The dynamic threshold mechanism continuously adjusts risk appetite based on recent performance (profitability) and market regime.
By using this script, you agree not to redistribute, sell, or reverse engineer the source code.
This strategy is for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always apply proper risk management and protect your capital.
Risk Management: Maximum Drawdown Protection
The strategy includes a built-in capital protection mechanism. Users can specify the percentage drop from peak capital they tolerate. If the capital hits this drawdown limit, protection activates, closing all open positions and blocking new trades, acting as an emergency brake to guard capital against unexpected market conditions.
Automation Ready: Customizable Webhook Alerts
Fully Compatible Automation (JSON): The strategy outputs fully configurable JSON-formatted alert messages for buy, sell, and close actions. This allows connecting CEO Synapse signals to automation platforms like 3Commas and PineConnector for fully automated trading. Dynamic values like position size ({{strategy.order.contracts}}) are automatically included in alerts.

TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1×ATR, TP = 2×ATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.
---
## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensible—both for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.
Two-Sided R1/S1 + Supertrend (Final v6)The core of this TradingView strategy combines classic intraday resistance with a volatility-based trend follower to identify strong breakout and breakdown opportunities while rigorously enforcing day trading rules.
This is an Intraday Mean Reversion / Trend Following strategy for the 5-minute (5m) chart with mandatory End-of-Day (EOD) closures.
In essence: You're only trading in the direction of the confirmed Supertrend when price action has demonstrated enough momentum to move past the important pivot support/resistance levels.
Adaptive Cortex Strategy (ACS)Strategy Title: Adaptive Cortex Strategy (ACS)
This script is invite-only.
Part 1: Philosophy and the Fundamental Problem It Solves
Adaptive Cortex Strategy (ACS) is an advanced decision support system designed to dynamically adapt to the ever-changing characteristics of the market. A major weakness of traditional approaches is that while successful in a specific market condition (e.g., a strong trend), they become ineffective when the market changes course (e.g., enters a sideways range). ACS solves this problem by continuously analyzing the market's current "regime" and instantly adapting its decision-making logic accordingly.
Its primary goal is to enable the strategy itself to "think" and evolve with the market, without requiring the trader to change their strategy.
Part 2: Original Methodology and Proprietary Logic
A Note on the Original Methodology and Intellectual Property
This algorithm is not based on or copied from any open-source strategy code. The system utilizes the mathematical principles of widely accepted indicators such as ADX, RSI, and Ichimoku as data sources for its analyses.
However, the intellectual property and unique value of the algorithm lies in its unique and closed-source architecture that processes, prioritizes, and synthesizes data from these standard tools. The methods used in core components, particularly the adaptive 'Cortex' memory system and statistical 'Forecast' engine, represent a unique set of logic developed from scratch for this script. The parameters, order of operations, and conditional logic are entirely custom-designed. Therefore, the system's performance is a result of its unique design, not a repetition of publicly available code.
ACS's power lies not in the individual indicators it uses, but in the unique and proprietary logic layers that process the information from these indicators.
1. Multi-Factor Scoring and Adaptive Weighting:
The heart of the methodology is a scoring system that analyzes the market in four main categories: Trend, Support/Resistance, Momentum, and Volume. However, what makes ACS unique is that it dynamically changes the importance it assigns to these categories based on the market regime.
Unique Application: Using ADX, DMI, and ATR indicators, the system detects whether the market is in different regimes, such as "Strong Trend" or "High Volatility Squeeze." When it detects a strong trend, it automatically increases the weight of the Trend scores from the Ichimoku and proprietary AMF Trend Engine. When it detects sideways or tightness, it shifts its focus to Support/Resistance zones determined by Dynamic Channels and the author's "Cortex" Memory System. A different approach was added here, inspired by the classic Fibonacci estimation. This "adaptive weighting" ensures that the strategy always focuses its attention on the most appropriate area.
2. Statistical Forecast Engine:
ACS goes beyond standard indicators and includes a proprietary forecasting algorithm that measures the probability of a potential price movement's success.
Unique Implementation: The system stores the results of past tests (successful bounces/breakouts) at key price levels in a "brain" (memory). At the time of a new test, it compares the current RSI momentum, volume anomalies, and market regime with similar past situations. Based on this comparison, it calculates the probability of the current test being successful as a statistical percentage and adds this percentage to the final score as a "bonus" or "penalty."
3. Walk-Forward Architecture:
Markets constantly evolve. ACS continues to learn from the latest market dynamics by resetting its memory at regular intervals (e.g., monthly) through its "Re-Learn Mode," rather than being trapped by old data. This is an advanced approach aimed at ensuring the strategy remains current and effective over the long term.
Part 3: Practical Features and User Benefits
HOW DOES IT HELP INVESTORS?
Customizable Trading Profiles: ACS does not come with a single set of settings. Users can instantly adapt all the algorithm's key periods and decision thresholds to their trading style by selecting one of the pre-configured trading profiles, such as "SCALPING," "INTRADAY TREND," or "SWING TRADE." Additionally, they can further fine-tune the selected profile with "Speed Adjustment."
Full Automation Compatibility (JSON): The strategy is equipped with fully configurable JSON-formatted alert messages for buy, sell, and position closing transactions. This makes it possible to establish a fully automated trading system by connecting ACS signals to automation platforms such as 3Commas and PineConnector. Dynamic values such as position size ({{strategy.order.contracts}}) are automatically added to alerts.
Advanced and Adaptive Risk Management: Protecting capital is as important as making a profit. ACS offers a multi-layered risk management framework for this purpose:
Flexible Position Size: Allows you to set the risk for each trade as a percentage of capital or a fixed dollar amount.
Adaptive ATR Stop: The stop-loss level is dynamically expanded or contracted based on current market volatility (the ratio of short-term ATR to long-term ATR).
Contingency Mechanisms: Includes safety nets such as "Maximum Drawdown Protection" and the "Praetorian Guard" engine, which detects sudden market shocks.
Clear and Comprehensible Dashboard: Transforms dozens of complex data points into an intuitive dashboard that provides critical information such as market trends, major trends, support/resistance zones, and final signals at a glance.
Section 4: Disclaimers and Rules
Transparency Note: This algorithm uses the mathematical foundations of publicly available indicators such as ADX, ATR, RSI, and Ichimoku. However, ACS's intellectual property and unique value lies in its unique architecture, which combines data from these standard tools, prioritizes it by market trend, and synthesizes it with its proprietary "Cortex" and "Statistical Forecast" engines.

NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
• Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
• Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
• Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
• Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
• Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
• Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
• VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
• Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
• Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
• Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
• Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
• Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
• Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
• Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
• Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
• Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
• VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
• VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
• Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital one hundred thousand USD
• Base currency USD
• request.security uses lookahead off
• Commission cash per contract two point five $ per each contract. Slippage one tick
• Default order size method FIXED with value one contract. Pyramiding zero. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier OFF. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick ON
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
• Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
• Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
• Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.

Trend Entry_0 [TS_Indie]Trend Entry_0 — Mechanism Overview
The core structure of this strategy is based on a price action reversal pattern, as detailed below:
In the case of a Bullish Trend Reversal:
The price initially moves in a bearish direction. When candle A forms a low lower than the previous low, the high of candle A becomes a key reference point.
If the next candle closes above the high of candle A , it confirms a Bullish Trend Reversal.
* Upon a Bullish signal, a Long position is opened at the opening price of the next candle (candle B).
* When a subsequent Bearish signal occurs, the Long position is closed at the opening price of the next candle (candle C).
In the case of a Bearish Trend Reversal:
The price initially moves in a bullish direction. When candle A forms a high higher than the previous high, the low of candle A becomes a key reference point.
If the next candle closes below the low of candle A , it confirms a Bearish Trend Reversal.
* Upon a Bearish signal, a Short position is opened at the opening price of the next candle (candle B).
* When a subsequent Bullish signal occurs, the Short position is closed at the opening price of the next candle (candle C).
Options
* The start and end dates of the backtest can be customized.
* The swing lines of the trend can be displayed as an optional visual aid.
* The user can choose whether to open only Long or Short positions.
Backtest Results and Observations
Based on the backtesting results of this strategy across various assets and timeframes, it has been observed that this approach works best on trending assets such as Gold, BTC, and stocks.
It also performs well on higher timeframes, starting from the Daily timeframe and above, especially when taking Long positions only.
However, when applied to currency pairs such as EUR/USD, the results tend to be less impressive.
I encourage everyone to try backtesting and further developing this strategy — adding new conditions or filters may potentially lead to improved performance.

High Accuracy Engulfing Strategy [PIPNEXUS]Title: EMA Engulfing Setup
Description:
This indicator focuses on identifying strong engulfing patterns that form around the EMA line, helping traders catch high-probability moves in line with market direction.
Concept Overview:
The idea is simple — when both the engulfing candle and the candle being engulfed have their bodies touching the EMA line, it often represents a key point of rejection or continuation. These areas can produce clean entries with strong momentum.
How to Use:
1. Wait for a valid engulfing formation near the EMA line.
Both the engulfing and the engulfed candles should have their bodies touching the EMA.
2. Enter in the direction of the engulfing candle once the pattern is confirmed.
3. For pinpoint entries, observe the market during session changes (especially in the first 3–5 minutes after a session opens).
4. For longer and more stable trades, look for the same pattern on 15-minute or 1-hour charts.
5. Always align your trades with the prevailing market structure and avoid counter-trend setups.
Note:
This indicator is designed for technical and educational use. It does not generate buy or sell signals automatically, nor does it guarantee performance. Use it alongside your own market analysis and proper risk management.

US/SPY- Financial Regime Index Swing Strategy Credits: concept inspired by EdgeTools Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index (Proxy)
Improvements: eight component basket, inverse volatility weights, winsorization option( statistical technique used to limit the influence of outliers in a dataset by replacing extreme values with less extreme ones, rather than removing them entirely), slope and price gates, exit guards, table and gradients.
Summary in one paragraph
A macro regime swing strategy for index ETFs, futures, FX majors, and large cap equities on daily calculation with optional lower time execution. It acts only when a composite Financial Conditions proxy plus slope and an optional price filter align. Originality comes from an eight component macro basket with inverse volatility weights and winsorized return z scores that produce a portable yardstick.
Scope and intent
Markets: SPY and peers, ES futures, ACWI, liquid FX majors, BTC, large cap equities.
Timeframes: calculation daily by default, trade on any chart.
Default demo: SPY on Daily.
Purpose: convert broad financial conditions into clear swing bias and exits.
Originality and usefulness
Unique fusion: return z scores for eight liquid proxies with inverse volatility weighting and optional winsorization, then slope and price gates.
Failure mode addressed: false starts in chop and early shorts during easy liquidity.
Testability: all knobs are inputs and the table shows components and weights.
Portable yardstick: z scores center at zero so thresholds transfer across symbols.
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
Return basis: natural log return over a configurable window, standardized to a z score. Winsorization optional to cap extremes.
Components
EQ US and EQ GLB measure equity tone.
CREDIT uses LQD over HYG. Higher credit quality outperformance is risk off so sign is flipped after z score.
RATES2Y uses two year yield, sign flipped.
SLOPE uses ten minus two year yield spread.
USD uses DXY, sign flipped.
VOL uses VIX, sign flipped.
LIQ uses BIL over SPY, sign flipped.
Each component is smoothed by the composite EMA.
Fusion rule
Weighted sum where weights are equal or inverse volatility with exponent gamma, normalized to percent so they sum to one.
Signal rule
Long when composite crosses up the long threshold and its slope is positive and price is above the SMA filter, or when composite is above the configured always long floor.
Short when composite crosses down the short threshold and its slope is negative and price is below the SMA filter.
Long exit on cross down of the long exit line or on a fresh short signal.
Short exit on cross up of the short exit line or on a fresh long signal, or when composite falls below the force short exit guard.
What you will see on the chart
Markers on suggestion bars: L for long, S for short, LX and SX for exits.
Reference lines at zero and soft regime bands at plus one and minus one.
Optional background gradient by regime intensity.
Compact table with component z, weight percent, and composite readout.
Table fields and quick reading guide
Component: EQ US, EQ GLB, CREDIT, RATES2Y, SLOPE, USD, VOL, LIQ.
Z: current standardized value, green for positive risk tone where applicable.
Weight: contribution percent after normalization.
Composite: current index value.
Reading tip: a broadly green Z column with slope positive often precedes better long context.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
Calc timeframe: default Daily. Leave blank to inherit chart.
Lookback: 50 to 1500. Larger length stabilizes regimes and delays turns.
EMA smoothing: 1 to 200. Higher smooths noise and delays signals.
Normalization
Winsorize z at ±3: caps extremes to reduce one off shocks.
Return window for equities: 5 to 260. Shorter reacts faster.
Weighting
Weight lookback: 20 to 520.
Weight mode: Equal or InvVol.
InvVol exponent gamma: 0.1 to 3. Higher compresses noisy components more.
Signals
Trade side: Long Short or Both.
Entry threshold long and short: portable z thresholds.
Exit line long and short: soft exits that give back less.
Slope lookback bars: 1 to 20.
Always long floor bfci ≥ X: macro easy mode keep long.
Force short exit when bfci < Y: macro stress guard.
Confirm
Use price trend filter and Price SMA length.
View
Glow line and Show component table.
Symbols
SPY ACWI HYG LQD VIX DXY US02Y US10Y BIL are defaults and can be changed.
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past is not future.
Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close.
Execution is on standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Major economic releases and illiquid sessions can break assumptions.
Very quiet regimes reduce contrast. Use longer windows or higher thresholds.
Component proxies are ETFs and indexes and cannot match a proprietary FCI exactly.
Strategy notice
Orders are simulated on standard candles. All security calls use lookahead off. Nonstandard chart types are not supported for strategies.
Entries and exits
Long rule: bfci cross above long threshold with positive slope and optional price filter OR bfci above the always long floor.
Short rule: bfci cross below short threshold with negative slope and optional price filter.
Exit rules: long exit on bfci cross below long exit or on a short signal. Short exit on bfci cross above short exit or on a long signal or on force close guard.
Position sizing
Percent of equity by default. Keep target risk per trade low. One percent is a sensible starting point. For this example we used 3% of the total capital
Commisions
We used a 0.05% comission and 5 tick slippage

AMF PG Strategy v2.3AMF PG Strategy v2.3
1. Core Philosophy: Filtered and Volatility-Aware Trend Following
"AMF PG Strategy" is an advanced trend-following system designed to adapt to the dynamic nature of modern markets. The strategy's core philosophy is not just to follow the trend but also to wait for the right conditions to enter the market.
This is not a "black box." It is a rules-based framework that gives the user full control over various market filters. By requiring multiple conditions to be met simultaneously, the strategy aims to filter out low-quality signals and focus only on high-probability trend opportunities.
2. Core Engine: AMF PG Trend Following
At the heart of the strategy is a proprietary, volatility-aware trend-following mechanism called AMF PG (Praetorian Guard). This engine operates as follows:
Dynamic Bands: Creates a dynamic upper and lower band around the price that is constantly recalculated. The width of these bands is not fixed; It dynamically adjusts based on recent market volatility, volume flow, and price expansion. This adaptive structure allows the strategy to adapt to both calm and high-volatility markets.
Entry Signals: A buy signal is triggered when the price rises above the upper band. A sell signal is triggered when the price falls below the lower band. However, these signals are executed only when all the active filters described below give the green light.
Trailing Stop-Loss: When a position is entered, the opposite band automatically acts as a trailing stop-loss level. For example, when a buy position is opened, the lower band follows the price as a stop-loss. This allows for profit retention and trend continuation.
3. Multi-Layered Filter System: Understanding the Market
The power of this strategy comes from its modular filter system, which allows the user to filter market conditions based on their own analysis. Each filter can be enabled or disabled individually in the settings:
Filter 1: Trend Strength (ADX Filter): This filter confirms whether there is a strong trend in the market. It uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) indicator and only allows trades if the ADX value is above a certain threshold. This helps avoid trading in weak or directionless markets. It also confirms the direction of the trend by checking the position of the DMI (+DI and -DI) lines.
Filter 2: Sideways Market (Chop Index Filter): This filter determines whether the market is excessively choppy or directionless. Using the Chop Index, this filter aims to protect against fakeouts by blocking trades when the market is highly indecisive.
Filter 3: Market Structure (Hurst Exponent Filter): This is one of the strategy's most advanced filters. It analyzes the current market behavior using the Hurst Exponent. This mathematical tool attempts to determine whether a market tends to trend (permanent), tends to revert to the mean (anti-permanent), or moves randomly. This filter ensures that signals are generated only when market structure supports trending trades.
4. Risk Management: Maximum Drawdown Protection
This strategy includes a built-in capital protection mechanism. Users can specify the percentage of their capital they will tolerate to decline from its peak. If the strategy's capital reaches this set drawdown limit, the protection feature is activated, closing all open positions and preventing new trades from being opened. This acts as an emergency brake to protect capital against unexpected market conditions.
5. Automation Ready: Customizable Webhook Alerts
The strategy is designed for traders who want to automate their signals. From the Settings menu, you can configure custom alert messages in JSON format, compatible with third-party automation services (via Webhooks).
6. Strategy Backtest Information
Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results. The published chart and performance report were generated on the 4-hour timeframe of the BTCUSD pair with the following settings:
Test Period: January 1, 2016 - October 31, 2025
Default Position Size: 15% of Capital
Pyramiding: Closed
Commission: 0.0008
Slippage: 2 ticks (Please enter the slippage you used in your own tests)
Testing Approach: The published test includes 423 trades and is statistically significant. It is strongly recommended that you test on different assets and timeframes for your own analysis. The default settings are a template and should be adjusted by the user for their own analysis.
AMF PG Consensus Engine v3.5AMF PG Consensus Engine v3.5
1. Core Philosophy: A Multi-Stage Confirmation System for High-Probability Signals
In the world of automated trading, the real challenge isn't generating signals, but filtering out the noise. The AMF PG Consensus Engine is designed to address this challenge. It operates on a simple yet powerful philosophy: a buy or sell signal is valid only if it receives confirmation from multiple, independent analysis modules.
This strategy isn't a "black box." It's a transparent, rules-based framework that transforms market momentum and momentum into a final consensus and then directs a core trend-following engine. The goal is to avoid trading in adverse market conditions and only act when the different analysis layers agree.
2. How the Consensus Engine Works: Two Confirmation Layers
Before the core engine is allowed to seek a trade, the market must go through a two-stage "confirmation" process. Both filters can be enabled or disabled from the settings, allowing users to customize the strategy's stringency level.
Confirmation Module 1: Renko Regime Filter
This module's purpose is to answer a critical question: "Is the market currently in a stable, directional trend, or is it volatile and unstable?" Instead of standard indicators, it creates a timeless Renko chart in the background. A trend is confirmed only if a minimum number of consecutive Renko bricks form in the same direction. This method is extremely effective at filtering out noisy, sideways price movements, which are often unsuccessful for trend-following systems. The brick size can be set to a fixed value or automatically calculated based on the Average True Range (ATR) for better fit.
Confirmation Module 2: Candle Scoring Engine
This module analyzes the raw strength of price action by scoring each candle individually. It evaluates the candle's direction, body size relative to the previous candle, and the change in closing price. These factors are converted into a score for each bar. A cumulative score is then calculated over a user-defined period. A buy trade is only confirmed if this cumulative momentum score exceeds a positive threshold, indicating sustained buying pressure. Conversely, a sell trade requires the score to fall below a negative threshold, indicating sustained selling pressure.
3. Core Engine: AMF PG Trend Follower
When both confirmation modules give the "green light" for a specific direction (e.g., buy), the core AMF PG (Praetorian Guard) engine is activated. This is a proprietary, volatility-sensitive trend-following mechanism.
It calculates a dynamic upper and lower band around the price. These bands are not static; their distance from the price is constantly adjusted based on recent market volatility and price expansion. A trade is initiated when the price breaks out of these bands in the direction confirmed by the consensus engine. The opposing band then serves as the initial trailing stop-loss, adjusted as the trend progresses.
4. Embedded Filters for Additional Security
To further enhance signal quality, the core engine has several embedded filters that are always active and cannot be disabled by the user:
Trend Strength Filter: To confirm that a trend has sufficient strength, a trade will not be initiated unless the ADX (Average Directional Index) is above a certain threshold.
Sideways Market Filter: The Chop Index is used to prevent trading in extremely sideways and directionless markets.
5. Risk Management: Maximum Drawdown Protection
A key feature of this strategy is its built-in capital protection mechanism. Users can set a maximum capital drawdown limit of a percentage. If the strategy's capital falls by this percentage from its peak, the "DD Protect" feature is activated, closing all open positions and preventing new trades from being opened. This acts as a final emergency brake to protect capital during unpredictable market conditions or underperformance of the strategy.
6. Automation-Ready: Customizable Webhook Alerts
This strategy was developed for modern investors looking to automate their trading. Instead of generic alert messages, you can define your own custom alert text directly from the script's settings.
This feature is particularly powerful for connecting to third-party automation services via Webhooks. You can configure the alert message in the JSON format required by your service (such as {"action": "buy", "symbol": "{{ticker}}"}). This allows you to seamlessly connect your strategy signals directly to your trading account.
7. Strategy Backtest Information
Please remember that past performance is not indicative of future results. The published chart and performance report were generated on the 4-hour timeframe of the BTC/USD pair with the following settings:
Test Period: January 1, 2016 - October 31, 2025
Default Position Size: 15% of Capital
Pyramiding: Closed
Commission: 0.0008
Slippage: 2 ticks (Please enter the slippage you used in your own tests)
Testing Approach: The published test includes 799 trades and is statistically significant. It is strongly recommended that you test on different assets and timeframes for your own analysis. The default settings are a template and should be adjusted by the user for their own analysis.

ORBSMMAATRVOLREENTRY2Contracts📈 Opening Range Fibonacci Breakout (TradingView Strategy)
Overview:
The Opening Range Fibonacci Breakout strategy is designed to capture high-probability intraday moves by combining the power of the 15-minute opening range, trend confirmation via SMMA, and volume-based momentum filtering.
At the start of each trading session, the script automatically plots the Opening Range Box based on the first 15 minutes of price action — highlighting key intraday support and resistance levels.
How It Works:
Opening Range Setup
The first 15 minutes of the session define the range high and low.
A visual box marks this zone on the chart for easy reference.
Signal Generation
A Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA) with a user-defined period determines overall trend bias.
Candle volume is analyzed to confirm momentum strength.
Long Signal: Price breaks above the opening range high, SMMA trending up, and volume supports the move.
Short Signal: Price breaks below the opening range low, SMMA trending down, and volume supports the move.
Take Profit & Targets
Fibonacci extension levels are automatically plotted from the opening range.
These dynamic levels serve as structured Take Profit (TP) zones for partial or full exits.
Features:
✅ 15-Minute Opening Range Box
✅ Adjustable SMMA period
✅ Volume-based confirmation filter
✅ Automatic Fibonacci profit targets
✅ Visual Long/Short alerts & signals
Ideal For:
Scalpers and intraday traders who rely on early-session momentum, breakout confirmation, and precision exit targets.

SigmaKernel - AdaptiveSigmaKernel - Adaptive Self-Optimizing Multi-Factor Trading System
SigmaKernel - Adaptive is a self-learning algorithmic trading strategy that combines four distinct analytical dimensions—momentum, market structure, volume flow, and reversal patterns—within a machine-learning-inspired framework that continuously adjusts its own parameters based on realized trading performance. Unlike traditional fixed-parameter strategies that maintain static weightings regardless of market conditions or results, this system implements a feedback loop that tracks which signal types, directional biases, and market conditions produce profitable outcomes, then mathematically adjusts component weightings, minimum score thresholds, position sizing multipliers, and trade spacing requirements to optimize future performance.
The strategy is designed for futures traders operating on prop firm accounts or live capital, incorporating realistic execution mechanics including configurable entry modes (stop breakout orders, limit pullback entries, or market-on-open), commission structures calibrated to retail futures contracts ($0.62 per contract default), one-tick slippage modeling, and professional risk controls including trailing drawdown guards, daily loss limits, and weekly profit targets. The system features universal futures compatibility—it automatically detects and adapts to any futures contract by reading the instrument's tick size and point value directly from the chart, eliminating the need for manual configuration across different markets.
What Makes This Approach Different
Adaptive Weight Optimization System
The core differentiation is the adaptive learning architecture. The strategy maintains four independent scoring components: momentum analysis (using RSI multi-timeframe, MACD histogram, and DMI/ADX), market structure detection (breakout identification via pivot-based support/resistance and moving average positioning), volume flow analysis (Volume Price Trend indicator with standard deviation confirmation), and reversal pattern recognition (oversold/overbought conditions combined with structural levels).
Each component generates a directional score that is multiplied by its current weight. After every closed trade, the system performs a retrospective analysis on the last N trades (configurable Learning Period, default 15 trades) to calculate win rates for each signal type independently. For example, if momentum-driven trades won 65% of the time while reversal trades won only 35%, the adaptive algorithm increases the momentum weight and decreases the reversal weight proportionally. The adjustment formula is:
New_Weight = Current_Weight + (Component_Win_Rate - Average_Win_Rate) × Adaptation_Speed
This creates a self-correcting mechanism where successful signal generators receive more influence in future composite scores, while underperforming components are de-emphasized. The system separately tracks long versus short win rates and applies directional bias corrections—if shorts consistently outperform longs, the strategy applies a 10% reduction to bullish signals to prevent fighting the prevailing market character.
Dynamic Parameter Adjustment
Beyond component weightings, three critical strategy parameters self-adjust based on performance:
Minimum Signal Score: The threshold required to trigger a trade. If overall win rate falls below 45%, the system increments this threshold by 0.10 per adjustment cycle, making the strategy more selective. If win rate exceeds 60%, the threshold decreases to allow more opportunities. This prevents the strategy from overtrading during unfavorable conditions and capitalizes on high-probability environments.
Risk Multiplier: Controls position sizing aggression. When drawdown exceeds 5%, risk per trade reduces by 10% per cycle. When drawdown falls below 2%, risk increases by 5% per cycle. This implements the professional risk management principle of "bet small when losing, bet bigger when winning" algorithmically.
Bars Between Trades: Spacing filter to prevent overtrading. Base value (default 9 bars) multiplies by drawdown factor and losing streak factor. During drawdown or consecutive losses, spacing expands up to 2x to allow market conditions to change before re-entering.
All adaptation operates during live forward-testing or real trading—there is no in-sample optimization applied to historical data. The system learns solely from its own realized trades.
Universal Futures Compatibility
The strategy implements universal futures instrument detection that automatically adapts to any futures contract without requiring manual configuration. Instead of hardcoding specific contract specifications, the system reads three critical values directly from TradingView's symbol information:
Tick Size Detection: Uses `syminfo.mintick` to obtain the minimum price increment for the current instrument. This value varies widely across markets—ES trades in 0.25 ticks, crude oil (CL) in 0.01 ticks, gold (GC) in 0.10 ticks, and treasury futures (ZB) in increments of 1/32nds. The strategy adapts all entry buffer calculations and stop placement logic to the detected tick size.
Point Value Detection: Uses `syminfo.pointvalue` to determine the dollar value per full point of price movement. For ES, one point equals $50; for crude oil, one point equals $1,000; for gold, one point equals $100. This automatic detection ensures accurate P&L calculations and risk-per-contract measurements across all instruments.
Tick Value Calculation: Combines tick size and point value to compute dollar value per tick: Tick_Value = Tick_Size × Point_Value. This derived value drives all position sizing calculations, ensuring the risk management system correctly accounts for each instrument's economic characteristics.
This universal approach means the strategy functions identically on emini indices (ES, MES, NQ, MNQ), micro indices, energy contracts (CL, NG, RB), metals (GC, SI, HG), agricultural futures (ZC, ZS, ZW), treasury futures (ZB, ZN, ZF), currency futures (6E, 6J, 6B), and any other futures contract available on TradingView. No parameter adjustments or instrument-specific branches exist in the code—the adaptation happens automatically through symbol information queries.
Stop-Out Rate Monitoring System
The strategy includes an intelligent stop-out rate tracking system that monitors the percentage of your last 20 trades (or available trades if fewer than 20) that were stopped out. This metric appears in the dashboard's Performance section with color-coded guidance:
Green (<30% stop-out rate): Very few trades are being stopped out. This suggests either your stops are too loose (giving back profits on reversals) or you're in an exceptional trending market. Consider tightening your Stop Loss ATR multiplier to lock in profits more efficiently.
Orange (30-65% stop-out rate): Healthy range. Your stop placement is appropriately sized for current market conditions and the strategy's risk-reward profile. No adjustment needed.
Red (>65% stop-out rate): Too many trades are being stopped out prematurely. Your stops are likely too tight for the current volatility regime. Consider widening your Stop Loss ATR multiplier to give trades more room to develop.
Critical Design Philosophy: Unlike some systems that automatically adjust stops based on performance statistics, this strategy intentionally keeps stop-loss control in the user's hands. Automatic stop adjustment creates dangerous feedback loops—widening stops increases risk per contract, which forces position size reduction, which distorts performance metrics, leading to incorrect adaptations. Instead, the dashboard provides visibility into stop performance, empowering you to make informed manual adjustments when warranted. This preserves the integrity of the adaptive system while giving you the critical data needed for stop optimization.

The entry system offers three distinct execution modes to match trader preference and market character:
StopBreakout Mode: Places buy-stop orders above the prior bar's high (for longs) or sell-stop orders below the prior bar's low (for shorts), plus a 2-tick buffer. This ensures entries only occur when price confirms directional momentum by breaking recent structure. Ideal for trending and momentum-driven markets.
LimitPullback Mode: Places limit orders at a pullback price calculated as: Entry_Price = Close - (ATR × Pullback_Multiplier) for longs, or Close + (ATR × Pullback_Multiplier) for shorts. Default multiplier is 0.5 ATR. This waits for mean-reversion before entering in the signal direction, capturing better prices in volatile or oscillating markets.
MarketNextOpen Mode: Executes at market on the bar immediately following signal generation. This provides fastest execution but sacrifices the filtering effect of requiring price confirmation.
All pending entry orders include a configurable Time-To-Live (TTL, default 6 bars). If an order is not filled within the TTL period, it cancels automatically to prevent stale signals from executing in changed market conditions.
Professional Exit Management
The exit system implements a three-stage progression: initial stop loss, breakeven adjustment, and dynamic trailing stop.
Initial Stop Loss: Calculated as entry price ± (ATR × User_Stop_Multiplier × Volatility_Adjustment). Users have direct control via the Stop Loss ATR multiplier (default 1.25). The system then applies volatility regime adjustments: ×1.2 in high-volatility environments (stops automatically widen), ×0.8 in low volatility (stops tighten), ×1.0 in normal conditions. This ensures stops adapt to market character while maintaining user control over baseline risk tolerance.
Breakeven Trigger: When profit reaches a configurable multiple of initial risk (default 1.0R), the stop loss automatically moves to breakeven (entry price). This locks in zero-loss status once the trade demonstrates favorable movement.
Trailing Stop Activation: When profit reaches the Trail_Trigger_R multiple (default 1.2R), the system cancels the fixed stop and activates a dynamic trailing stop. The trail uses Step and Offset parameters defined in R-multiples. For example, with Trail_Offset_R = 1.0 and Trail_Step_R = 1.5, the stop trails 1.0R behind price and moves in 1.5R increments. This captures extended moves while protecting accumulated profit.
Additional failsafes include maximum time-in-trade (exits after N bars if specified) and end-of-session flatten (automatically closes all positions X minutes before session end to avoid overnight exposure).
Core Calculation Methodology
Signal Component Scoring
Momentum Component:
- Calculates 14-period DMI (Directional Movement Index) with ADX strength filter (trending when ADX > 25)
- Computes three RSI timeframes: fast (7-period), medium (14-period), slow (21-period)
- Analyzes MACD (12/26/9) histogram for directional acceleration
- Bullish momentum: uptrend (DI+ > DI- with ADX > 25) + MACD histogram rising above zero + RSI fast between 50-80 = +1.6 score
- Bearish momentum: downtrend (DI- > DI+ with ADX > 25) + MACD histogram falling below zero + RSI fast between 20-50 = -1.6 score
- Score multiplies by volatility adjustment factor: ×0.8 in high volatility (momentum less reliable), ×1.2 in low volatility (momentum more persistent)
Structure Component:
- Identifies swing highs and lows using 10-bar pivot lookback on both sides
- Maintains most recent swing high as dynamic resistance, most recent swing low as dynamic support
- Detects breakouts: bullish when close crosses above resistance with prior bar below; bearish when close crosses below support with prior bar above
- Breakout score: ±1.0 for confirmed break
- Moving average alignment: +0.5 when price > SMA20 > SMA50 (bullish structure); -0.5 when price < SMA20 < SMA50 (bearish structure)
- Total structure range: -1.5 to +1.5
Volume Component:
- Calculates Volume Price Trend: VPT = Σ [(Close - Close ) / Close × Volume]
- Compares VPT to its 10-period EMA as signal line (similar to MACD logic)
- Computes 20-period volume moving average and standard deviation
- High volume event: current volume > (volume_average + 1× std_dev)
- Bullish volume: VPT > VPT_signal AND high_volume = +1.0
- Bearish volume: VPT < VPT_signal AND high_volume = -1.0
- No score if volume is not elevated (filters out low-conviction moves)
Reversal Component:
- Identifies extreme RSI conditions: RSI slow < 30 (oversold) or > 70 (overbought)
- Requires structural confluence: price at or below support level for bullish reversal; at or above resistance for bearish reversal
- Requires momentum shift: RSI fast must be rising (for bull) or falling (for bear) to confirm reversal in progress
- Bullish reversal: RSI < 30 AND price ≤ support AND RSI rising = +1.0
- Bearish reversal: RSI > 70 AND price ≥ resistance AND RSI falling = -1.0
Composite Score Calculation
Final_Score = (Momentum × Weight_M) + (Structure × Weight_S) + (Volume × Weight_V) + (Reversal × Weight_R)
Initial weights: Momentum = 1.0, Structure = 1.2, Volume = 0.8, Reversal = 0.6
These weights adapt after each trade based on component-specific performance as described above.
The system also applies directional bias adjustment: if recent long trades have significantly lower win rate than shorts, bullish scores multiply by 0.9 to reduce aggressive long entries. Vice versa for underperforming shorts.
Position Sizing Algorithm
The position sizing calculation incorporates multiple confidence factors and automatically scales to any futures contract:
1. Base risk amount = Account_Size × Base_Risk_Percent × Adaptive_Risk_Multiplier
2. Stop distance in price units = ATR × User_Stop_Multiplier × Volatility_Regime_Multiplier × Entry_Buffer
3. Risk per contract = Stop_Distance × Dollar_Per_Point (automatically detected from instrument)
4. Raw position size = Risk_Amount / Risk_Per_Contract
Then applies confidence scaling:
- Signal confidence = min(|Weighted_Score| / Min_Score_Threshold, 2.0) — higher scores receive larger size, capped at 2×
- Direction confidence = Long_Win_Rate (for bulls) or Short_Win_Rate (for bears)
- Type confidence = Win_Rate of dominant signal type (momentum/structure/volume/reversal)
- Total confidence = (Signal_Confidence + Direction_Confidence + Type_Confidence) / 3
Adjusted size = Raw_Size × Total_Confidence × Losing_Streak_Reduction
Losing streak reduction = 0.5 if losing_streak ≥ 5, otherwise 1.0
Universal Maximum Position Calculation: Instead of hardcoded limits per instrument, the system calculates maximum position size as: Max_Contracts = Account_Size / 25000, clamped between 1 and 10 contracts. This means a $50,000 account allows up to 2 contracts, a $100,000 account allows up to 4 contracts, regardless of which futures contract is being traded. This universal approach maintains consistent risk exposure across different instruments while preventing overleveraging.
Final size is rounded to integer and bounded by the calculated maximum.
Session and Risk Management System
Timezone-Aware Session Control
The strategy implements timezone-correct session filtering. Users specify session start hour, end hour, and timezone from 12 supported zones (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Frankfurt, Moscow, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, UTC). The system converts bar timestamps to the selected timezone before applying session logic.
For split sessions (e.g., Asian session 18:00-02:00), the logic correctly handles time wraparound. Weekend trading can be optionally disabled (default: disabled) to avoid low-liquidity weekend price action.
Multi-Layer Risk Controls
Daily Loss Limit: Strategy ceases all new entries when daily P&L reaches negative threshold (default $2,000). This prevents catastrophic drawdown days. Resets at timezone-corrected day boundary.
Weekly Profit Target: Strategy ceases trading when weekly profit reaches target (default $10,000). This implements the professional principle of "take the win and stop pushing luck." Resets on timezone-corrected Monday.
Maximum Daily Trades: Hard cap on entries per day (default 20) to prevent overtrading during volatile conditions when many signals may generate.
Trailing Drawdown Guard: Optional prop-firm-style trailing stop on account equity. When enabled, if equity drops below (Peak_Equity - Trailing_DD_Amount), all trading halts. This simulates the common prop firm rule where exceeding trailing drawdown results in account termination.
All limits display status in the real-time dashboard, showing "MAX LOSS HIT", "WEEKLY TARGET MET", or "ACTIVE" depending on current state.

Signal Generation and Entry
The strategy generates entries when the weighted composite score exceeds the adaptive minimum threshold (initial value configurable, typically 1.5 to 2.5). Entries display as layered triangle markers on the chart:
- Long Signal: Three green upward triangles below the entry bar
- Short Signal: Three red downward triangles above the entry bar
Triangle tooltip shows the signal score and dominant signal type (MOMENTUM/STRUCTURE/VOLUME/REVERSAL).
Position Management and Stop Optimization
Once entered, the strategy automatically manages the position through its three-stage exit system. Monitor the Stop-Out Rate metric in the dashboard to optimize your stop placement:
If Stop-Out Rate is Green (<30%): You're rarely being stopped out. This could mean:
- Your stops are too loose, allowing trades to give back too much profit on reversals
- You're in an exceptional trending market where tight stops would work better
- Action: Consider reducing your Stop Loss ATR multiplier by 0.1-0.2 to tighten stops and lock in profits more efficiently
If Stop-Out Rate is Orange (30-65%): Optimal range. Your stops are appropriately sized for the strategy's risk-reward profile and current market volatility. No adjustment needed.
If Stop-Out Rate is Red (>65%): You're being stopped out too frequently. This means:
- Your stops are too tight for current market volatility
- Trades need more room to develop before reaching profit targets
- Action: Increase your Stop Loss ATR multiplier by 0.1-0.3 to give trades more breathing room
Remember: The stop-out rate calculation includes all exit types (initial stops, breakeven stops, trailing stops, timeouts, EOD flattens). A trade that reaches breakeven and gets stopped out at entry price counts as a stop-out, even though it didn't lose money. This is intentional—it indicates the stop placement didn't allow the trade to develop into profit.
Optimization Workflow
For traders wanting to customize the strategy for their specific instrument and timeframe:
Week 1-2: Run with defaults, adaptation enabled
Allow the system to execute at least 30-50 trades (the Learning Period plus additional buffer). Monitor which session periods, signal types, and market conditions produce the best results. Observe your stop-out rate—if it's consistently red or green, plan to adjust Stop Loss ATR multiplier after the learning period. Do not adjust parameters yet—let the adaptive system establish baseline performance data.
Week 3-4: Analyze adaptation behavior and optimize stops
Review the dashboard's adaptive weights and win rates. If certain signal types consistently show <40% win rate, consider slightly reducing their base weight. If a particular entry mode produces better fill quality and win rate, switch to that mode. If you notice the minimum score threshold has climbed very high (>3.0), market conditions may not suit the strategy's logic—consider switching instruments or timeframes.
Based on your Stop-Out Rate observations:
- Consistently <30%: Reduce Stop Loss ATR multiplier by 0.2-0.3
- Consistently >65%: Increase Stop Loss ATR multiplier by 0.2-0.4
- Oscillating between zones: Leave stops at default and let volatility regime adjustments handle it
Ongoing: Fine-tune risk and execution
Adjust the following based on your risk tolerance and account type:
- Base Risk Per Trade: 0.5% for conservative, 0.75% for moderate, 1.0% for aggressive
- Stop Loss ATR Multiplier: 0.8-1.2 for tight stops (scalping), 1.5-2.5 for wide stops (swing trading)
- Bars Between Trades: Lower (5-7) for more opportunities, higher (12-20) for more selective
- Entry Mode: Experiment between modes to find best fit for current market character
- Session Hours: Narrow to specific high-performance session windows if certain hours consistently underperform
Never adjust: Do not manually modify the adaptive weights, minimum score, or risk multiplier after the system has begun learning. These parameters are self-optimizing and manual interference defeats the adaptive mechanism.
Parameter Descriptions and Optimization Guidelines
Adaptive Intelligence Group
Enable Self-Optimization (default: true): Master switch for the adaptive learning system. When enabled, component weights, minimum score, risk multiplier, and trade spacing adjust based on realized performance. Disable to run the strategy with fixed parameters (useful for comparing adaptive vs non-adaptive performance).
Learning Period (default: 15 trades): Number of most recent trades to analyze for performance calculations. Shorter values (10-12) adapt more quickly to recent conditions but may overreact to variance. Longer values (20-30) produce more stable adaptations but respond slower to regime changes. For volatile markets, use shorter periods. For stable trends, use longer periods.
Adaptation Speed (default: 0.25): Controls the magnitude of parameter adjustments per learning cycle. Lower values (0.05-0.15) make gradual, conservative changes. Higher values (0.35-0.50) make aggressive adjustments. Faster adaptation helps in rapidly changing markets but increases parameter instability. Start with default and increase only if you observe the system failing to adapt quickly enough to obvious performance patterns.
Performance Memory (default: 100 trades): Maximum number of historical trades stored for analysis. This array size does not affect learning (which uses only Learning Period trades) but provides data for future analytics features including stop-out rate tracking. Higher values consume more memory but provide richer historical dataset. Typical users should not need to modify this.
Core Settings Group
Account Size (default: $50,000): Starting capital for position sizing calculations. This should match your actual account size for accurate risk per trade. The strategy uses this value to calculate dollar risk amounts and determine maximum position size (1 contract per $25,000).
Weekly Profit Target (default: $10,000): When weekly P&L reaches this value, the strategy stops taking new trades for the remainder of the week. This implements a "quit while ahead" rule common in professional trading. Set to a realistic weekly goal—20% of account size per week ($10K on $50K) is very aggressive; 5-10% is more sustainable.
Max Daily Loss (default: $2,000): When daily P&L reaches this negative threshold, strategy stops all new entries for the day. This is your maximum acceptable daily loss. Professional traders typically set this at 2-4% of account size. A $2,000 loss on a $50,000 account = 4%.
Base Risk Per Trade % (default: 0.5%): Initial percentage of account to risk on each trade before adaptive multiplier and confidence scaling. 0.5% is conservative, 0.75% is moderate, 1.0-1.5% is aggressive. Remember that actual risk per trade = Base Risk × Adaptive Risk Multiplier × Confidence Factors, so the realized risk will vary.
Trade Filters Group
Base Minimum Signal Score (default: 1.5): Initial threshold that composite weighted score must exceed to generate a signal. Lower values (1.0-1.5) produce more trades with lower average quality. Higher values (2.0-3.0) produce fewer, higher-quality setups. This value adapts automatically when adaptive mode is enabled, but the base sets the starting point. For trending markets, lower values work well. For choppy markets, use higher values.
Base Bars Between Trades (default: 9): Minimum bars that must elapse after an entry before another signal can trigger. This prevents overtrading and allows previous trades time to develop. Lower values (3-6) suit scalping on lower timeframes. Higher values (15-30) suit swing trading on higher timeframes. This value also adapts based on drawdown and losing streaks.
Max Daily Trades (default: 20): Hard limit on total trades per day regardless of signal quality. This prevents runaway trading during extremely volatile days when many signals may generate. For 5-minute charts, 20 trades/day is reasonable. For 1-hour charts, 5-10 trades/day is more typical.
Session Group
Session Start Hour (default: 5): Hour (0-23 format) when trading is allowed to begin, in the timezone specified. For US futures trading in Chicago time, session typically starts at 5:00 or 6:00 PM (17:00 or 18:00) Sunday evening.
Session End Hour (default: 17): Hour when trading stops and no new entries are allowed. For US equity index futures, regular session ends at 4:00 PM (16:00) Central Time.
Allow Weekend Trading (default: false): Whether strategy can trade on Saturday/Sunday. Most futures have low volume on weekends; keeping this disabled is recommended unless you specifically trade Sunday evening open.
Session Timezone (default: America/Chicago): Timezone for session hour interpretation. Select your local timezone or the timezone of your instrument's primary exchange. This ensures session logic aligns with your intended trading hours.
Prop Guards Group
Trailing Drawdown Guard (default: false): Enables prop-firm-style trailing maximum drawdown. When enabled, if equity drops below (Peak Equity - Trailing DD Amount), all trading halts for the remainder of the backtest/live session. This simulates rules used by funded trader programs where exceeding trailing drawdown terminates the account.
Trailing DD Amount (default: $2,500): Dollar amount of drawdown allowed from equity peak. If your equity reaches $55,000, the trailing stop sets at $52,500. If equity then drops to $52,499, the guard triggers and trading ceases.
Execution Kernel Group
Entry Mode (default: StopBreakout):
- StopBreakout: Places stop orders above/below signal bar requiring price confirmation
- LimitPullback: Places limit orders at pullback prices seeking better fills
- MarketNextOpen: Executes immediately at market on next bar
Limit Offset (default: 0.5x ATR): For LimitPullback mode, how far below/above current price to place the limit order. Smaller values (0.3-0.5) seek minor pullbacks. Larger values (0.8-1.2) wait for deeper retracements but may miss trades.
Entry TTL (default: 6 bars, 0=off): Bars an entry order remains pending before cancelling. Shorter values (3-4) keep signals fresh. Longer values (8-12) allow more time for fills but risk executing stale signals. Set to 0 to disable TTL (orders remain active indefinitely until filled or opposite signal).
Exits Group
Stop Loss (default: 1.25x ATR): Base stop distance as a multiple of the 14-period ATR. This is your primary risk control parameter and directly impacts your stop-out rate. Lower values (0.8-1.0) create tighter stops that reduce risk per trade but may get stopped out prematurely in volatile conditions—expect stop-out rates above 65% (red zone). Higher values (1.5-2.5) give trades more room to breathe but increase risk per contract—expect stop-out rates below 30% (green zone). The system applies additional volatility regime adjustments on top of this base: ×1.2 in high volatility environments (stops widen automatically), ×0.8 in low volatility (stops tighten), ×1.0 in normal conditions. For scalping on lower timeframes, use 0.8-1.2. For swing trading on higher timeframes, use 1.5-2.5. Monitor the Stop-Out Rate metric in the dashboard and adjust this parameter to keep it in the healthy 30-65% orange zone.
Move to Breakeven at (default: 1.0R): When profit reaches this multiple of initial risk, stop moves to breakeven. 1.0R means after price moves in your favor by the distance you risked, you're protected at entry price. Lower values (0.5-0.8R) lock in breakeven faster. Higher values (1.5-2.0R) allow more room before protection.
Start Trailing at (default: 1.2R): When profit reaches this multiple, the fixed stop transitions to a dynamic trailing stop. This should be greater than the BE trigger. Values typically range 1.0-2.0R depending on how much profit you want secured before trailing activates.
Trail Offset (default: 1.0R): How far behind price the trailing stop follows. Tighter offsets (0.5-0.8R) protect profit more aggressively but may exit prematurely. Wider offsets (1.5-2.5R) allow more room for profit to run but risk giving back more on reversals.
Trail Step (default: 1.5R): How far price must move in profitable direction before the stop advances. Smaller steps (0.5-1.0R) move the stop more frequently, tightening protection continuously. Larger steps (2.0-3.0R) move the stop less often, giving trades more breathing room.
Max Bars In Trade (default: 0=off): Maximum bars allowed in a position before forced exit. This prevents trades from "going stale" during periods of no meaningful price action. For 5-minute charts, 50-100 bars (4-8 hours) is reasonable. For daily charts, 5-10 bars (1-2 weeks) is typical. Set to 0 to disable.
Flatten near Session End (default: true): Whether to automatically close all positions as session end approaches. Recommended to avoid carrying positions into off-hours with low liquidity.
Minutes before end (default: 5): How many minutes before session end to flatten. 5-15 minutes provides buffer for order execution before the session boundary.
Visual Effects Configuration Group
Dashboard Size (default: Normal): Controls information density in the dashboard. Small shows only critical metrics (excludes stop-out rate). Normal shows comprehensive data including stop-out rate. Large shows all available metrics including weights, session info, and volume analysis. Larger sizes consume more screen space but provide complete visibility.
Show Quantum Field (default: true): Displays animated grid pattern on the chart indicating market state. Disable if you prefer cleaner charts or experience performance issues on lower-end hardware.
Show Wick Pressure Lines (default: true): Draws dynamic lines from bars with extreme wicks, indicating potential support/resistance or liquidity absorption zones. Disable for simpler visualization.
Show Morphism Energy Beams (default: true): Displays directional beams showing momentum energy flow. Beams intensify during strong trends. Disable if you find this visually distracting.
Show Order Flow Clouds (default: true): Draws translucent boxes representing volume flow bullish/bearish bias. Disable for cleaner price action visibility.
Show Fractal Grid (default: true): Displays multi-timeframe support/resistance levels based on fractal price structure at 10/20/30/40/50 bar periods. Disable if you only want to see primary pivot levels.
Glow Intensity (default: 4): Controls the brightness and thickness of visual effects. Lower values (1-2) for subtle visualization. Higher values (7-10) for maximum visibility but potentially cluttered charts.
Color Theme (default: Cyber): Visual color scheme. Cyber uses cyan/magenta futuristic colors. Quantum uses aqua/purple. Matrix uses green/red terminal style. Aurora uses pastel pink/purple gradient. Choose based on personal preference and monitor calibration.
Show Watermark (default: true): Displays animated watermark at bottom of chart with creator credit and current P&L. Disable if you want completely clean charts or need screen space.
Performance Characteristics and Best Use Cases
Optimal Conditions
This strategy performs best in markets exhibiting:
Trending phases with periodic pullbacks: The combination of momentum and structure components excels when price establishes directional bias but provides retracement opportunities for entries. Markets with 60-70% trending bars and 30-40% consolidation produce the highest win rates.
Medium to high volatility: The ATR-based stop sizing and dynamic risk adjustment require sufficient price movement to generate meaningful profit relative to risk. Instruments with 2-4% daily ATR relative to price work well. Extremely low volatility (<1% daily ATR) generates too many scratch trades.
Clear volume patterns: The VPT volume component adds significant edge when volume expansions align with directional moves. Instruments and timeframes where volume data reflects actual transaction flow (versus tick volume proxies) perform better.
Regular session structure: Futures markets with defined opening and closing hours, consistent liquidity throughout the session, and clear overnight/day session separation allow the session controls and time-based failsafes to function optimally.
Sufficient liquidity for stop execution: The stop breakout entry mode requires that stop orders can fill without significant slippage. Highly liquid contracts work better than illiquid instruments where stop orders may face adverse fills.
Suboptimal Conditions
The strategy may struggle with:
Extreme chop with no directional persistence: When ADX remains below 15 for extended periods and price oscillates rapidly without establishing trends, the momentum component generates conflicting signals. Win rate typically drops below 40% in these conditions, triggering the adaptive system to increase minimum score thresholds until conditions improve. Stop-out rates may also spike into the red zone.
Gap-heavy instruments: Markets with frequent overnight gaps disrupt the continuous price assumptions underlying ATR stops and EMA-based structure analysis. Gaps can also cause stop orders to fill at prices far from intended levels, distorting stop-out rate metrics.
Very low timeframes with excessive noise: On 1-minute or tick charts, the signal components react to micro-structure noise rather than meaningful price swings. The strategy works best on 5-minute through daily timeframes where price movements reflect actual order flow shifts.
Extended low-volatility compression: During historically low volatility periods, profit targets become difficult to reach before mean-reversion occurs. The trail offset, even when set to minimum, may be too wide for the compressed price environment. Stop-out rates may drop to green zone indicating stops should be tightened.
Parabolic moves or climactic exhaustion: Vertical price advances or selloffs where price moves multiple ATRs in single bars can trigger momentum signals at exhaustion points. The structure and reversal components attempt to filter these, but extreme moves may override normal logic.
The adaptive learning system naturally reduces signal frequency and position sizing during unfavorable conditions. If you observe multiple consecutive days with zero trades and "FILTERS ACTIVE" status, this indicates the strategy has self-adjusted to avoid poor conditions rather than forcing trades.
Instrument Recommendations
Emini Index Futures (ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, YM, RTY): Excellent fit. High liquidity, clear volatility patterns, strong volume signals, defined session structure. These instruments have been extensively tested and the universal detection handles all contract specifications automatically.
Micro Index Futures (MES, MNQ, M2K, MYM): Excellent fit for smaller accounts. Same market characteristics as the standard eminis but with reduced contract sizes allowing proper risk management on accounts below $50,000.
Energy Futures (CL, NG, RB, HO): Good to mixed fit. Crude oil (CL) works well due to strong trends and reasonable volatility. Natural gas (NG) can be extremely volatile—consider reducing Base Risk to 0.3-0.4% and increasing Stop Loss ATR multiplier to 1.8-2.2 for NG. The strategy automatically detects the $10/tick value for CL and adjusts position sizing accordingly.
Metal Futures (GC, SI, HG, PL): Good fit. Gold (GC) and silver (SI) exhibit clear trending behavior and work well with the momentum/structure components. The strategy automatically handles the different point values ($100/point for gold, $5,000/point for silver).
Agricultural Futures (ZC, ZS, ZW, ZL): Good fit. Grain futures often trend strongly during seasonal periods. The strategy handles the unique tick sizes (1/4 cent increments) and point values ($50/point for corn/wheat, $60/point for soybeans) automatically.
Treasury Futures (ZB, ZN, ZF, ZT): Good fit for trending rates environments. The strategy automatically handles the fractional tick sizing (32nds for ZB/ZN, halves of 32nds for ZF/ZT) through the universal detection system.
Currency Futures (6E, 6J, 6B, 6A, 6C): Good fit. Major currency pairs exhibit smooth trending behavior. The strategy automatically detects point values which vary significantly ($12.50/tick for 6E, $12.50/tick for 6J, $6.25/tick for 6B).
Cryptocurrency Futures (BTC, ETH, MBT, MET): Mixed fit. These markets have extreme volatility requiring parameter adjustment. Increase Base Risk to 0.8-1.2% and Stop Loss ATR multiplier to 2.0-3.0 to account for wider stop distances. Enable 24-hour trading and weekend trading as these markets have no traditional sessions.
The universal futures compatibility means you can apply this strategy to any of these markets without code modification—simply open the chart of your desired contract and the strategy will automatically configure itself to that instrument's specifications.
Important Disclaimers and Realistic Expectations
This is a sophisticated trading strategy that combines multiple analytical methods within an adaptive framework designed for active traders who will monitor performance and market conditions. It is not a "set and forget" fully automated system, nor should it be treated as a guaranteed profit generator.
Backtesting Realism and Limitations
The strategy includes realistic trading costs and execution assumptions:
- Commission: $0.62 per contract per side (accurate for many retail futures brokers)
- Slippage: 1 tick per entry and exit (conservative estimate for liquid futures)
- Position sizing: Realistic risk percentages and maximum contract limits based on account size
- No repainting: All calculations use confirmed bar data only—signals do not change retroactively
However, backtesting cannot fully capture live trading reality:
- Order fill delays: In live trading, stop and limit orders may not fill instantly at the exact tick shown in backtest
- Volatile periods: During high volatility or low liquidity (news events, rollover days, pre-holidays), slippage may exceed the 1-tick assumption significantly
- Gap risk: The backtest assumes stops fill at stop price, but gaps can cause fills far beyond intended exit levels
- Psychological factors: Seeing actual capital at risk creates emotional pressures not present in backtesting, potentially leading to premature manual intervention
The strategy's backtest results should be viewed as best-case scenarios. Real trading will typically produce 10-30% lower returns than backtest due to the above factors.
Risk Warnings
All trading involves substantial risk of loss. The adaptive learning system can improve parameter selection over time, but it cannot predict future price movements or guarantee profitable performance. Past wins do not ensure future wins.
Losing streaks are inevitable. Even with a 60% win rate, you will encounter sequences of 5, 6, or more consecutive losses due to normal probability distributions. The strategy includes losing streak detection and automatic risk reduction, but you must have sufficient capital to survive these drawdowns.
Market regime changes can invalidate learned patterns. If the strategy learns from 50 trades during a trending regime, then the market shifts to a ranging regime, the adapted parameters may initially be misaligned with the new environment. The system will re-adapt, but this transition period may produce suboptimal results.
Prop firm traders: understand your specific rules. Every prop firm has different rules regarding maximum drawdown, daily loss limits, consistency requirements, and prohibited trading behaviors. While this strategy includes common prop guardrails, you must verify it complies with your specific firm's rules and adjust parameters accordingly.
Never risk capital you cannot afford to lose. This strategy can produce substantial drawdowns, especially during learning periods or market regime shifts. Only trade with speculative capital that, if lost, would not impact your financial stability.
Recommended Usage
Paper trade first: Run the strategy on a simulated account for at least 50 trades or 1 month before committing real capital. Observe how the adaptive system behaves, identify any patterns in losing trades, monitor your stop-out rate trends, and verify your understanding of the entry/exit mechanics.
Start with minimum position sizing: When transitioning to live trading, reduce the Base Risk parameter to 0.3-0.4% initially (vs 0.5-1.0% in testing) to reduce early impact while the system learns your live broker's execution characteristics.
Monitor daily, but do not micromanage: Check the dashboard daily to ensure the strategy is operating normally and risk controls have not triggered unexpectedly. Pay special attention to the Stop-Out Rate metric—if it remains in the red or green zones for multiple days, adjust your Stop Loss ATR multiplier accordingly. However, resist the urge to manually adjust adaptive weights or disable trades based on short-term performance. Allow the adaptive system at least 30 trades to establish patterns before making manual changes.
Combine with other analysis: While this strategy can operate standalone, professional traders typically use systematic strategies as one component of a broader approach. Consider using the strategy for trade execution while applying your own higher-timeframe analysis or fundamental view for trade filtering or sizing adjustments.
Keep a trading journal: Document each week's results, note market conditions (trending vs ranging, high vs low volatility), record stop-out rates and any Stop Loss ATR adjustments you made, and document any manual interventions. Over time, this journal will help you identify conditions where the strategy excels versus struggles, allowing you to selectively enable or disable trading during certain environments.
Technical Implementation Notes
All calculations execute on closed bars only (`calc_on_every_tick=false`) ensuring that signals and values do not repaint. Once a bar closes and a signal generates, that signal is permanent in the history.
The strategy uses fixed-quantity position sizing (`default_qty_type=strategy.fixed, default_qty_value=1`) with the actual contract quantity determined by the position sizing function and passed to the entry commands. This approach provides maximum control over risk allocation.
Order management uses Pine Script's native `strategy.entry()` and `strategy.exit()` functions with appropriate parameters for stops, limits, and trailing stops. All orders include explicit from_entry references to ensure they apply to the correct position.
The adaptive learning arrays (trade_returns, trade_directions, trade_types, trade_hours, trade_was_stopped) are maintained as circular buffers capped at PERFORMANCE_MEMORY size (default 100 trades). When a new trade closes, its data is added to the beginning of the array using `array.unshift()`, and the oldest trade is removed using `array.pop()` if capacity is exceeded. The stop-out tracking system analyzes the trade_was_stopped array to calculate the rolling percentage displayed in the dashboard.
Dashboard rendering occurs only on the confirmed bar (`barstate.isconfirmed`) to minimize computational overhead. The table is pre-created with sufficient rows for the selected dashboard size and cells are populated with current values each update.
Visual effects (fractal grid, wick pressure, morphism beams, order flow clouds, quantum field) recalculate on each bar for real-time chart updates. These are computationally intensive—if you experience chart lag, disable these visual components. The core strategy logic continues to function identically regardless of visual settings.
Timezone conversions use Pine Script's built-in timezone parameter on the `hour()`, `minute()`, and `dayofweek()` functions. This ensures session logic and daily/weekly resets occur at correct boundaries regardless of the chart's default timezone or the server's timezone.
The universal futures detection queries `syminfo.mintick` and `syminfo.pointvalue` on each strategy initialization to obtain the current instrument's specifications. These values remain constant throughout the strategy's execution on a given chart but automatically update when the strategy is applied to a different instrument.
The strategy has been tested on TradingView across timeframes from 5-minute through daily and across multiple futures instrument types including equity indices, energy, metals, agriculture, treasuries, and currencies. It functions identically on all instruments due to the percentage-based risk model and ATR-relative calculations which adapt automatically to price scale and volatility, combined with the universal futures detection system that handles contract-specific specifications.
