Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter# Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter: A Powerful Trading Indicator ## Introduction The **Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter** is an innovative technical indicator that combines two powerful concepts: trend bar analysis and the Okuninushi Line filter. This indicator helps traders identify high-quality trending moves by analyzing candle body strength relative to the overall price range while ensuring the price action aligns with the dominant market structure. ## What Are Trend Bars? Trend bars are candles where the body (distance between open and close) represents a significant portion of the total price range (high to low). These bars indicate strong directional momentum with minimal indecision, making them valuable signals for trend continuation. ### Key Characteristics: - **Strong directional movement**: Large body relative to total range - **Minimal upper/lower shadows**: Shows sustained pressure in one direction - **High conviction**: Represents decisive market action ## The Okuninushi Line Filter The Okuninushi Line, also known as the Kijun Line in Ichimoku analysis, is calculated as the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over a specified period (default: 52 periods). **Formula**: `(Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2` This line acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and trend filter, helping to: - Identify the overall market bias - Filter out counter-trend signals - Provide confluence for trade entries ## How the Indicator Works The indicator combines these two concepts with the following logic: ### Bull Trend Bars (Green) A candle is colored **green** when ALL conditions are met: 1. **Bullish candle**: Close > Open 2. **Strong body**: |Close - Open| ≥ Threshold × (High - Low) 3. **Above trend filter**: Close > Okuninushi Line ### Bear Trend Bars (Red) A candle is colored **red** when ALL conditions are met: 1. **Bearish candle**: Close < Open 2. **Strong body**: |Close - Open| ≥ Threshold × (High - Low) 3. **Below trend filter**: Close < Okuninushi Line ### Neutral Bars (Gray) All other candles that don't meet the complete criteria are colored **gray**. ## Customizable Parameters ### Trend Bar Threshold - **Range**: 10% to 100% - **Default**: 75% - **Purpose**: Controls how "strong" a candle must be to qualify as a trend bar **Threshold Effects:** - **Low (10-30%)**: More sensitive, catches smaller trending moves - **Medium (50-75%)**: Balanced approach, filters out most noise - **High (80-100%)**: Very selective, only captures the strongest moves ### Okuninushi Line Length - **Default**: 52 periods - **Purpose**: Determines the lookback period for calculating the midpoint - **Common Settings**: - 26 periods: More responsive to recent price action - 52 periods: Standard setting, good balance - 104 periods: Longer-term trend perspective ## Trading Applications ### 1. Trend Continuation Signals - **Green bars**: Look for bullish continuation opportunities - **Red bars**: Consider bearish continuation setups - **Gray bars**: Exercise caution, mixed signals ### 2. Market Structure Analysis - Clusters of same-colored bars indicate strong trends - Alternating colors suggest choppy, indecisive markets - Transition from red to green (or vice versa) may signal trend changes ### 3. Entry Timing - Use colored bars as confirmation for existing trade setups - Wait for color alignment with your market bias - Avoid trading during predominantly gray periods ### 4. Risk Management - Gray bars can serve as early warning signs of weakening trends - Color changes might indicate appropriate exit points - Use in conjunction with other risk management tools ## Advantages 1. **Dual Filtering**: Combines momentum (trend bars) with trend direction (Okuninushi Line) 2. **Visual Clarity**: Immediate visual feedback through candle coloring 3. **Customizable**: Adjustable parameters for different trading styles 4. **Versatile**: Works across multiple timeframes and instruments 5. **Objective**: Rule-based system reduces subjective interpretation ## Limitations 1. **Lagging Nature**: Based on historical price data 2. **False Signals**: Can produce whipsaws in choppy markets 3. **Parameter Sensitivity**: Requires optimization for different instruments 4. **Market Conditions**: May be less effective in ranging markets ## Best Practices ### Optimization Tips: - **Volatile Markets**: Use higher thresholds (80-90%) - **Steady Trends**: Use moderate thresholds (60-75%) - **Short-term Trading**: Shorter Okuninushi Line periods (26) - **Long-term Analysis**: Longer Okuninushi Line periods (104+) ### Combination Strategies: - Pair with volume indicators for confirmation - Use alongside support/resistance levels - Combine with other trend-following indicators - Consider market context and overall trend direction ## Conclusion The Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter offers traders a sophisticated yet intuitive way to identify high-quality trending moves. By combining the momentum characteristics of trend bars with the directional filter of the Okuninushi Line, this indicator helps traders focus on the most promising opportunities while avoiding low-probability setups. Remember that no single indicator should be used in isolation. Always consider market context, risk management, and other technical factors when making trading decisions. The true power of this indicator lies in its ability to quickly highlight periods of strong, aligned price action – exactly what trend traders are looking for. --- *Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice.

Bitcoin vs. Gold correlation with lagBTC vs Gold (Lag) + Correlation — multi-timeframe, publication notes What it does Plots Gold on the same chart as Bitcoin, with a configurable lead/lag. Lets you choose how the series is displayed: Gold shifted forward (+lag on chart) — shows gold ahead of BTC on the time axis (visual offset). Gold aligned to BTC (gold lag) — standard alignment; gold is lagged for calculation and plotted in place. BTC 200D Lag (BTC shifted forward) — visualizes BTC shifted forward (like popular “BTC 200D Lag” charts). Computes Pearson correlations between BTC (no lag) and Gold (with lag) over multiple lookback windows equivalent to: 30d, 60d, 90d, 180d, 365d, 2y (730d), 3y (1095d), 5y (1825d). Shows a table with the correlation values, automatically scaled to the current timeframe. Why this is useful A common macro claim is that BTC tends to follow Gold with a delay (e.g., ~200 trading days). This tool lets you: Visually advance Gold (or BTC) to see that lead-lag relationship on the chart. Quantify the relationship with rolling correlations. Switch timeframes (D/W/M/…): everything automatically stays in sync. Quick start Open a BTC chart (any exchange). Add the indicator. Set Gold symbol (default TVC:GOLD; alternatives: OANDA:XAUUSD, COMEX:GC1!, etc.). Choose Lag value and Lag unit (Days/Weeks/Months/Years/Bars). Pick Visual Mode: To mirror those “BTC 200D Lag” posts: choose “BTC 200D Lag (BTC shifted forward)” with 200 Days. To view Gold 200D ahead of BTC: select “Gold shifted forward (+lag on chart)” with 200 Days. Keep Rebase to 100 ON for an apples-to-apples visual scale. (You can move the study to the left price scale if needed.) Inputs Gold symbol: external series to pair with BTC. Lag value: numeric value. Lag unit: Days, Weeks, Months (≈30d), Years (≈365d), or direct Bars. Visual mode: Gold shifted forward (+lag on chart) → gold is offset to the right by the lag (visual only). Gold aligned to BTC (gold lag) → standard plot (no visual offset); correlations still use lagged gold. BTC 200D Lag (BTC shifted forward) → BTC is offset to the right by the lag (visual only). Rebase to 100 (visual): rescales each series to 100 on its first valid bar for clearer comparison. Show gold without lag (debug): optional reference line. Show price tag for gold (lag): toggles the track price label. Timeframe handling The study uses the current chart timeframe for both BTC and Gold (timeframe.period). Lag in time units (Days/Weeks/Months/Years) is internally converted to an integer number of bars of the active timeframe (using timeframe.in_seconds). Example: on W (weekly), 200 days ≈ 29 bars. On intraday timeframes, days are converted proportionally. Correlation math Correlation = ta.correlation(BTC, Gold_lagged, length_in_bars) Lookback lengths are the bar-equivalents of 30/60/90/180/365/730/1095/1825 days in the active timeframe. Important: correlations are computed on prices (not returns). If you prefer returns-based correlation (often more statistically robust), duplicate the script and replace price inputs with change(close) or ta.roc(close, 1). Reading the table Window: nominal day label (e.g., 30d, 1y, 5y). Bars (TF): how many bars that window equals on the current timeframe. Correlation: Pearson coefficient . Background tint shows intensity and sign. Tips & caveats Visual offsets (offset=) move series on screen only; they don’t affect the math. The math always uses BTC (no lag) × Gold (lagged). With large lags on high timeframes, early bars will be na (normal). Scroll forward / reduce lag. If your Gold feed doesn’t load, try an alternative symbol that your plan supports. Rebase to 100 helps visibility when BTC ($100k) and Gold ($2k) share a scale. Months/Years use 30/365-day approximations. For exact control, use Days or Bars. Correlations on very short lengths or sparse data can be unstable; consider the longer windows for sturdier signals. This is a visual/analytical tool, not a trading signal. Always apply independent risk management. Suggested setups Replicate “BTC 200D Lag” charts: Visual Mode: BTC 200D Lag (BTC shifted forward) Lag: 200 Days Rebase: ON Gold leads BTC (Gold ahead): Visual Mode: Gold shifted forward (+lag on chart) Lag: 200 Days Rebase: ON Compatibility: Pine v6, overlay study. Best with: BTCUSD (any exchange) + a reliable Gold feed. Author’s note: Lead-lag relationships are not stable over time; treat correlations as descriptive, not predictive.

Rally Base Drop Signals [LuxAlgo]The Rally Base Drop indicator is built around the Supply and Demand (SND) concept known as "Rally, Base & Drop" Candles. These candle types are commonly used in this trading approach to identify price structure. This indicator highlights bars by labeling them as "Rally," "Drop," or "Base" candles. It also identifies specific sequence patterns formed by these candles. 🔶 USAGE The Rally, Base, Drop candlestick approach is a straightforward method for identifying price action structure. Candles are categorized into three types, which are then analyzed to understand market structure and Supply/Demand levels. Rally: Two or more consecutive bullish candles. Drop: Two or more consecutive bearish candles. Base: A single bullish or bearish candle that breaks the previous trend. 🔹 Rally & Drop Candles These candles show clear directional momentum and signal whether demand or supply is dominating. They are helpful when identifying trends, as they highlight strong price movement. 🔹 Base Candles In most SND strategies, "Base" can have several interpretations. Typically, base candles represent short periods of consolidation that test the trend before continuation. They can also be found at turning points (tops or bottoms). For this indicator, a base candle is simply one that does not follow the direction of nearby candles or is where a Drop and Rally meet. Multiple base candles often reflect indecision in the market, suggesting a temporary balance between buyers and sellers. 🔹 Reversal Sequences Rally-Base-Drop (RBD) Drop-Base-Rally (DBR) In Supply and Demand analysis, these sequences are considered reversals. They mark zones where buyer and seller activity has shifted, which can lead to future price reactions. These areas are known as "Supply or Demand Zones" and are often revisited by price, making them useful for trade setups. 🔹 Continuation Sequences Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) Continuation sequences show a brief pause in the trend, followed by further movement in the same direction. In SND terms, they represent zones where orders accumulate before a continuation move. These are typically used to join ongoing trends, as they indicate sustained interest from buyers or sellers. 🔶 DETAILS 🔹 Color Modes The script includes three color modes. "No Color" is self-explanatory, while the other two options relate to how candles are detected. A Rally or Drop requires at least two candles to be successfully identified. As a result, detection occurs on the second candle. However, the full Rally or Drop includes both candles. Two coloring methods are available: Full Color: Once a Rally or Drop is detected (on the second bar), both candles are colored, starting from the first. This reflects the full pattern. Color on Detection: Only the second candle (where detection occurs) is colored. This avoids changing past bars and may be useful for live analysis. 🔶 SETTINGS Sequences: Select which sequences to display on the chart. Bar Color Logic: Choose the preferred bar coloring method.

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

Pipnotic HTF BarsDescription: Pipnotic HTF Bars projects higher-timeframe (HTF) candles to the right of current price so you can “peek ahead” with clean, fixed-width silhouettes. The latest HTF bar updates live until it closes; completed HTF bars are frozen and kept in a tidy row to the right. Bodies inherit up/down colours, wicks sit on the body edge (no line through the body), and transparency/borders are configurable for a lightweight, elegant overlay. How It Works: The script reads true HTF opens via request.security and detects new HTF boundaries precisely. Completed HTF bars are captured with look ahead off and stored; they never repaint. The current HTF bar uses look ahead on and updates tick-by-tick until the next HTF bar begins. Each candle is drawn as a fixed bar-index width box and wick, anchored a set number of bars to the right of the chart, then spaced evenly. Visualization and Management: Candles are rendered as boxes (bodies) plus edge-wicks (coloured to match the body). You choose how many completed HTF candles to keep visible; older ones are automatically pruned. Width, spacing, transparency, and borders make the projection readable without cluttering price. Designed to stay performant and within TradingView’s shape limits. Key Features & Inputs: Higher Timeframe (HTF): W, D, 240, 120, 60, 30, 15. Live Current Bar: The most recent HTF candle updates until it closes (no duplicate static bar). Number of Candles: Keep the last N completed HTF candles to the right. Fixed Projection Geometry: Projected width (bars) : set a constant visual width per candle. Gap (bars) : spacing between projected candles. Right shift : anchor the projection a fixed distance beyond the latest bar. Styling : Up/Down colours, body transparency, optional borders, wicks coloured same as body and drawn from body edge → high/low (never through the body). Overlay : Works on any symbol and chart timeframe. Enhanced Visualization: Edge-wicks align visually with the close side of the body, producing a crisp, unobstructed read of range (H–L) and direction (O→C). Fixed widths and even spacing create a timeline-like panel to the right of price, ideal for multi-timeframe context without compressing your main chart. Transparency lets you “ghost” the projection so LTF price action remains visible beneath. Benefits of Using the Pipnotic HTF Script: Instant HTF context without switching charts or compressing the main view. Non-repainting history: Completed HTF candles are locked the moment a new one starts. Cleaner decision surface: Edge-wicks and soft transparency reduce visual noise. Time-saving workflow: Scan upcoming HTF structure at a glance (range, bias, progress). Configurable & lightweight: Tune width, spacing, and count to fit any layout. Tip: Using the daily HTF on an hourly or less timeframe and watching as price tests the open of the current day, especially if prices e.g. traded below the open, can provide some great trades as prices move above and retest the open.

Sigma Reversal Print [FxScripts]Indicator Overview The Sigma Reversal Print is a powerful tool designed for traders who like to trade reversal strategies plus trend traders looking to enter on strong pullbacks. It integrates advanced price action with volume analysis, highlighting areas where a trend reversal or pullback may be in progress, providing insights into where markets may be exhausted or about to surge. Key Features and Functionality Reversal Trading: Tailored primarily for reversal traders, the Sigma Reversal Print highlights zones where the market is likely to change direction. While this approach offers significant potential, it inherently carries a degree of risk due to the precision required in predicting market turning points. The Sigma Reversal Print uses advanced methodology to forecast such reversals with a high degree of accuracy. Signal Generation Based on Reversal and Pullback Zones: The Reversal Print generates signals when price enters specific conditions, representing exhaustion followed by a change in order flow. These conditions allow the indicator to filter out low-probability signals and focus on those with higher potential for a trend change. Settings Sensitivity Control: The sensitivity setting allows traders to adjust the strength of the pattern required for a signal to be generated. The scale ranges from 2-10 with higher sensitivity demanding more confirmation, leading to fewer, generally more reliable, signals however backtesting is highly recommended. Adjusting the sensitivity enables traders to balance early entries with signal accuracy, accommodating both aggressive and more conservative strategies. Customizable Length: The length setting allows users to fine-tune the calculation period, adjusting the indicator’s responsiveness to overall market conditions. Adjusting length allows the Reversal Print to adapt to the user’s trading style and timeframe of choice. Similar to the sensitivity control, the scale ranges from 2-10 with a higher length demanding more confirmation. This can lead to fewer, often more reliable, signals however, once again, backtesting is highly recommended. Advanced Filters Opening Gap Filter: Turning this on allows the system to avoid painting false signals that can be triggered by the daily or weekly opening gap at market open. This setting is toggled on by default. Price Filter: This filter applies an additional weighted price action algorithm to the signal being painted thus further filtering out weaker signals. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default. Volume Filter: This filters out low volume entries which have a lower probability of turning into successful trades. Variable from 1-10 with 1 being the most lenient and 10 the most stringent. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default. Alerts Configure alerts and receive notifications when the first warning dot in a sequence appears (the series of dots seen on the chart) and again when a breakpoint is triggered (the larger arrow on the chart). This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who like to monitor multiple instruments or prefer not to stare at a screen all day. Performance and Optimization Backtesting Results: The Reversal Print has undergone extensive backtesting across various instruments, timeframes and market conditions, demonstrating strong performance in identifying reversal points, particularly during volatile or overextended price movements. User backtesting is strongly encouraged as it allows traders to optimize settings for their preferred instruments and timeframes. Optimization for Diverse Markets: The Reversal Print can be used on crypto, forex, indices, commodities or stocks. The Reversal Print's algorithmic foundation ensures consistent performance across a variety of instruments. Key settings such as Sensitivity and Length will require adjustment based on the volatility and characteristics of each market. Educational Resources and Support Users of the Sigma Reversal Print benefit from comprehensive educational resources and full access to FxScripts Support. This ensures traders can maximize the potential of the Reversal Print and other tools in the Sigma Indicator Suite by learning best practices and gaining insights from an experienced team of traders. Summary The Reversal Print is a powerful and adaptable tool for reversal and pullback traders, combining statistical analysis and price action to identify high-probability turning points. Its advanced customization options, flexible controls and integration with the Sigma Indicator Suite offer significant advantages over standard indicators. By pinpointing precise entry points, the Reversal Print enables traders to make informed trading decisions with confidence.

Lanxang Pin Bar Pro V.2How to use (step-by-step) Mark context first Draw your Supply/Demand zones and note HTF structure (H1). Use the indicator as a price action confirmation at those POIs. Wait for a pin bar at a level Bullish pin: long lower wick rejecting demand; Bearish pin: long upper wick rejecting supply. Ensure it prints within your session and passes ATR/shape filters. Choose your entry style Conservative: Enter on break of pin high (bull) / low (bear). Aggressive (RR-optimized): Place a limit near the 50% retrace of the pin bar (you removed lines, so measure the midpoint quickly: (High+Low)/2 from the data box). Place stop Beyond the wick + small buffer (e.g., 10–20 pts on XAUUSD M5–M15). Keep SL reasonable (≤ ~1–1.2× ATR of your entry TF). Targets & management T1 = 1R, take partial, move to BE after structure break or at 1R depending on volatility. T2 at the next opposing SD zone, prior swing, or session high/low. Let a small runner trail via swing highs/lows if trend is strong. Risk Keep risk fixed % (e.g., 1%) per trade. Your math is already RR-driven—perfect for journaling and expectancy. Recommended defaults (XAUUSD, M5–M30) Min Wick : Body Ratio = 2.0–2.5 Max Body / Range = 0.30–0.35 Min Range as ATR multiple = 0.8–1.0 HTF = 60 min; EMAs = 50/200 Sessions = London core + NY open Alerts Turn on alerts for Bullish Pin Bar / Bearish Pin Bar (and optionally “Entry Trigger” if you use it). Use them to route to your phone or EA bridge (you already use webhook flows). Pro tips (fits your SMC style) Prefer pins that sweep liquidity (wick pokes above equal highs / below equal lows) and close back inside your zone. Extra confluence: FVG edge, HTF OB boundary, or daily/weekly high/low. Skip mid-range pins with no level. Track R results in your journal to monitor expectancy.

W Bottom Reversal Strategy W Bottom Reversal Strategy (15m-close entries; intrabar TP; daily MACD exit; JSON alerts v49.3-expire2) Overview A precision reversal strategy designed for 15-minute charts on liquid symbols. It detects a capitulation-and-stabilization “W” base using 1-hour (1H) context, confirms momentum improvement, then enters only on bar close to avoid early/“ghost” signals. Exits combine a fast intrabar take-profit (~2.7%) with a daily MACD risk-off exit that closes positions when higher-timeframe momentum turns against the setup. How it works (high-level, matching code) 1H volatility + oversold gate (arming) Compute 1H Bollinger-style bands (basis = SMA(close, bbLength=20), stdev multiplier bbMult=2.0). Arm the setup when a 1H bar closes with price < 1H lower band and 1H RSI( rsiLength=14 ) < rsiThreshold (default 20.0). 1H momentum flip → pending entry When a new 1H bar closes and 1H MACD line (EMA12−EMA26) crosses above 0 while armed and flat, set an entryPending flag. This does not enter yet—it prepares a confirmed, bar-close entry on the lower timeframe. Bar-close execution on the chart timeframe (15m) On the next 15m bar close (or within N bars, see below) and still flat, fire the entry using a limit order at close × (1 − 0.00001) (≈ 0.001% below close) to reduce slippage and maintain chart/alert alignment. Anti-late filter (no stale triggers) If the pending entry doesn’t trigger within N chart bars (input: “Pending entry valid for N chart bars”, default 1, range 1–8), it expires and the arm state resets. This prevents late fills long after the 1H confirmation. Exit logic Primary: Standing intrabar take-profit at +2.7% from the average entry price (managed via strategy.exit limit). Risk-off: On daily bar close, if Daily MACD line (EMA12−EMA26) crosses under 0, close the position (flat on daily momentum flip). Default Properties (used for this publication) Timeframe: 15m (with 1H and Daily higher-timeframe confirmations via request.security) Initial capital: $10,000 Position sizing: Percent of equity = 10% per trade (enters only when flat; no stacking while in a position) Commission: 0.05% per side Slippage: Recommend 1 tick in Strategy Properties for realistic fills Inputs exposed: BB Length: 20 • BB Multiplier: 2.0 RSI Length: 14 • RSI Threshold: 20.0 MACD: Short 12, Long 26, Signal 9 (signal kept for compatibility; logic uses MACD line vs 0) Pending entry valid for N chart bars: default 1 (1–8) Execution behavior (per code): calc_on_every_tick = false (evaluates on bar close) process_orders_on_close = true (orders placed at bar close) Limit entry at close −0.001% Intrabar TP (2.7%) Daily risk-off exit on MACD<0 at daily bar close Alerts (exact behavior in code) Uses alert() function calls with standardized JSON. Set your alert to “Only alert() function calls” and “Once per bar close.” Two events are emitted: LONG_CONFIRMED on entry fire (15m bar close) EXIT_CONFIRMED_DAILY_MACD on daily MACD<0 (daily bar close) JSON fields include: event, version ("v49.3-expire2"), symbol, interval, price, and time. How to use Apply on liquid tickers (tight spreads, healthy volume). Keep defaults initially; run across a broad, liquid watchlist to gather a proper sample. For automation, route bar-close alerts to your executor; confirm broker lot/route settings and that limit orders at close −0.001% are acceptable. Expect fewer signals in powerful trends; the daily risk-off helps cut failed bases. Methodology & expectations (results transparency) Evaluate on a dataset yielding 100+ trades before drawing conclusions. Keep commission & slippage enabled (see defaults). Risk sizing: With 10% of equity per trade and flat-to-flat entries, exposure aligns with typical 5–10% guidance. No performance guarantees—outcomes depend on symbol selection, volatility regime, news, and execution quality. Originality & value (vendor justification) While it uses familiar building blocks (BB/RSI/MACD), the edge comes from the 1H volatility + oversold arming, 1H momentum flip, strict 15m bar-close limit execution, and the N-bar pending expiry that prevents stale triggers—paired with a dual-exit design (intrabar TP + daily risk-off). The focus is on reducing premature fills, keeping alerts 1:1 with chart marks, and capturing the first impulse out of a W-base. Disclaimers For educational purposes only; not financial advice. Paper-test first. Verify alerts, fills, and symbol liquidity with your broker before live use. Changelog: v49.3-expire2 — Bar-close limit entries; anti-late pending window; standardized JSON alerts; intrabar 2.7% TP; daily MACD risk-off exit.

Resistance & Support Trends (Full Body No-Touch)This indicator builds and maintains time-anchored Resistance and Support trendlines with up to three localized depths on each side. A line is marked broken only when a single bar’s entire candle body is cleanly beyond it—no edge touching—using strict, one-sided logic: - accumulation (close > open) can break Resistance - distribution (close < open) can break Support. Anchors can be selected manually by date/time, broken lines remain as dashed context, and active trends extend forward for ongoing guidance. Customize colors, show/hide depths and markers, and read the structure at a glance to track primary trends and nearer-term swings with high confidence.

Recovery StrategyDescription: The Recovery Strategy is a long-only trading system designed to capitalize on significant price drops from recent highs. It enters a position when the price falls 10% or more from the highest high over a 6-month lookback period and adds positions on further 2% drops, up to a maximum of 5 positions. Each trade is held for 6 months before exiting, regardless of profit or loss. The strategy uses margin to amplify position sizes, with a default leverage of 5:1 (20% margin requirement). All key parameters are customizable via inputs, allowing flexibility for different assets and timeframes. Visual markers indicate recent highs for reference. How It Works: Entry: Buys when the closing price drops 10% or more from the recent high (highest high in the lookback period, default 126 bars ~6 months). If already in a position, additional buys occur on further 2% drops (e.g., 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%), up to 5 positions (pyramiding). Exit: Each trade exits after its own holding period (default 126 bars ~6 months), regardless of profit or loss. No stop loss or take-profit is used. Margin: Uses leverage to control larger positions (default 20% margin, 5:1 leverage). The order size is a percentage of equity (default 100%), adjustable via inputs. Visualization: Displays blue markers (without text) at new recent highs to highlight reference levels. Inputs: Lookback Period for High Peak (bars): Number of bars to look back for the recent high (default: 126, ~6 months on daily charts). Initial Drop Percentage to Buy (%): Percentage drop from recent high to trigger the first buy (default: 10.0%). Additional Drop Percentage to Buy (%): Further drop percentage to add positions (default: 2.0%). Holding Period (bars): Number of bars to hold each position before selling (default: 126, ~6 months). Order Size (% of Equity): Percentage of equity used per trade (default: 100%). Margin for Long Positions (%): Percentage of position value covered by equity (default: 20%, equivalent to 5:1 leverage). Usage: Timeframe: Designed for daily charts (126 bars ~6 months). Adjust Lookback Period and Holding Period for other timeframes (e.g., 1008 hours for hourly charts, assuming 8 trading hours/day). Assets: Suitable for stocks, ETFs, or other assets with significant price volatility. Test thoroughly on your chosen asset. Settings: Customize inputs in the strategy settings to match your risk tolerance and market conditions. For example, lower Margin for Long Positions (e.g., to 10% for 10:1 leverage) to increase position sizes, but beware of higher risk. Backtesting: Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to evaluate performance. Check the “List of Trades” for skipped trades due to insufficient equity or margin requirements. Risks and Considerations: No Stop Loss: The strategy holds trades for the full 6 months without a stop loss, exposing it to significant drawdowns in prolonged downtrends. Margin Risk: Leverage (default 5:1) amplifies both profits and losses. Ensure sufficient equity to cover margin requirements to avoid skipped trades or simulated margin calls. Pyramiding: Up to 5 positions can be open simultaneously, increasing exposure. Adjust pyramiding in the code if fewer positions are desired (e.g., change to pyramiding=3). Market Conditions: Performance depends on price drops and recoveries. Test on historical data to assess effectiveness in your market. Broker Emulator: TradingView’s paper trading simulates margin but does not execute real margin trading. Results may differ in live trading due to broker-specific margin rules. How to Use: Add the strategy to your chart in TradingView. Adjust input parameters in the settings panel to suit your asset, timeframe, and risk preferences. Run a backtest in the Strategy Tester to evaluate performance. Monitor open positions and margin levels in the Trading Panel to manage risk. For live trading, consult your broker’s margin requirements and leverage policies, as TradingView’s simulation may not match real-world conditions. Disclaimer: This strategy is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, especially with leverage and no stop loss. Always backtest thoroughly and consult a financial advisor before using any strategy in live trading.

Kalman Sigmoid Z-score | SurgeQuantTitle: Kalman Sigmoid Z-score Indicator The Kalman Sigmoid Z-score indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to identify market momentum and potential trend changes using a combination of Kalman filtering, sigmoid-weighted averaging, and Z-score calculations. By processing price data through a Kalman filter and applying adaptive sigmoid weighting, this indicator provides clear visual signals for bullish and bearish market conditions. The Z-score output and price bars are dynamically colored to highlight momentum shifts, aiding traders in identifying potential trading opportunities. How It Works Kalman Filter Calculation Computes a smoothed price series using a Kalman filter based on a user-selected price source (Close, High, Low, or Open) with configurable parameters for process noise, measurement noise, and filter order (default: 3). The Kalman filter reduces noise in the price data, providing a stable foundation for further analysis. Sigmoid-Weighted Averaging Applies a sigmoid function to calculate adaptive weights based on price comparisons over a user-defined lookback period (default: 10). Weights are adjusted dynamically using a volatility ratio (standard deviation over ATR) to account for market conditions, enhancing signal reliability. Z-score Calculation Calculates the Z-score of the Kalman-filtered price relative to a sigmoid-weighted moving average over a user-defined period (default: 20). Bullish Signal: Triggered when the Z-score crosses above 0, indicating potential upward momentum. Bearish Signal: Triggered when the Z-score crosses below 0, indicating potential downward momentum. Visual Representation The indicator provides a clear and customizable visual interface: Z-score Histogram: Displayed as colored columns, with distinct colors for bullish (Z-score > 0) and bearish (Z-score < 0) conditions. Bright green (#4DFFBE) for rising Z-score above 0. Light green (#56DFCF) for falling Z-score above 0. Dark purple (#AE75DA) for falling Z-score below 0. Light purple (#4D2D8C) for rising Z-score below 0. Price Bar Coloring: Synchronizes with the Z-score colors to reflect momentum on the main chart. Reference Line: A zero line is plotted on the Z-score panel for easy reference. Customization & Parameters The Kalman Sigmoid Z-score indicator offers flexible parameters to suit various trading styles: Source: Select the input price (default: Close; options: Close, High, Low, Open). Lookback Period: Set the period for sigmoid weight calculations (default: 10). Volatility Period: Adjust the period for volatility ratio calculation (default: 30). Base Steepness: Control the sigmoid function’s sensitivity (default: 5). Base Midpoint: Set the sigmoid function’s midpoint (default: 0.01). Z-score Period: Define the period for Z-score calculation (default: 20). Kalman Parameters: Process Noise (default: 0.01). Measurement Noise (default: 3). Filter Order (default: 3). Color Settings: Predefined colors with distinct shades for bullish and bearish states, ensuring clear visual differentiation. Trading Applications This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various markets and strategies: Momentum Trading: Highlights strong bullish or bearish momentum for potential entry or exit points based on Z-score crossings. Trend Confirmation: Use bar coloring to confirm Z-score signals with price action on the main chart. Reversal Detection: Identify potential reversals when the Z-score crosses the zero line. Scalping and Swing Trading: Adjust parameters (e.g., lookback, Z-score period) to suit short-term or longer-term strategies. Final Note The Kalman Sigmoid Z-score indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking to leverage advanced filtering and statistical analysis for momentum and trend-based opportunities. Its combination of Kalman-filtered price smoothing, sigmoid-weighted averaging, dynamic Z-score signals, and synchronized bar coloring offers a robust framework for informed trading decisions. As with all indicators, backtest thoroughly and integrate into a comprehensive trading strategy for optimal results.
