MA Strategy: Dual Entry FilterConfigurable MA Dual-Filter Strategy
This strategy is an enhanced and highly configurable Moving Average (MA) Crossover system designed to mitigate false signals and align trades with the prevailing market trend. It is built to offer traders granular control over entry criteria, elevating it beyond basic, built-in MA crossover indicators.
Originality & Key Features
The script's originality and utility lie in the combination of its two primary, optional filtering mechanics:
Dual Entry Mode (Key Filter): Users can choose between two distinct methods for trade entry:
Crossover (Classic): Immediate entry when the price crosses the main MA.
Full Candle Confirmation (Unique Feature): This mode requires the entire candle body (open, high, low, and close) to be completely above or below the main MA after a crossover event to confirm the signal before entry. This strict confirmation helps to filter out weak crossovers, reducing whipsaws in choppy markets.
Optional Trend Filter: A second, slower MA (Trend Filter MA) can be activated. Trades are only permitted when the faster main MA is aligned with the slower Trend MA (i.e., long only if main MA > Trend MA), ensuring trades are executed with the established higher-timeframe direction.
How to Use the Strategy
The strategy logic is built on simple MA principles but utilizes Pine Script's switch function to allow users to select from six different MA types for both the main signal and the trend filter: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, and RMA.
Core Logic:
Signal: A cross of the price over the Main MA (filtered by the chosen Entry Mode).
Directional Filter: The Trend Filter must confirm the direction (if enabled).
Exit: Trades are exited on the opposite price crossover of the Main MA.
Customizable Settings Include:
Main MA Type & Length (Default: 40 EMA): The primary signal generator.
Trend Filter MA Type & Length (Default: 70 EMA): The optional, slower trend bias.
Entry Mode: Switch between Crossover or Full Candle Confirmation.
Strategy Results and High-Risk Disclaimer
The default setting for trade size is set to 40% of equity for backtesting demonstration purposes only. This high value is used to generate a large and diverse sample size of trades for historical review on the chart.
This 40% value is NOT a recommended setting for live trading. Per TradingView guidelines, traders are strongly advised to change this input to a sustainable risk level, typically 5% to 10% of equity per trade. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Gyspy Bot Trade Engine - V1.2B - Strategy 12-7-25 - SignalLynxGypsy Bot Trade Engine (MK6 V1.2B) - Ultimate Strategy & Backtest
Brought to you by Signal Lynx | Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Executive Summary & Architecture
Gypsy Bot (MK6 V1.2B) is not merely a strategy; it is a massive, modular Trade Engine built specifically for the TradingView Pine Script environment. While most strategies rely on a single dominant indicator (like an RSI cross or a MACD flip) to generate signals, Gypsy Bot functions as a sophisticated Consensus Algorithm.
The engine calculates data from up to 12 distinct Technical Analysis Modules simultaneously on every bar closing. It aggregates these signals into a "Vote Count" and only executes a trade entry when a user-defined threshold of concurring signals is met. This "Voting System" acts as a noise filter, requiring multiple independent mathematical models—ranging from volume flow and momentum to cyclical harmonics and trend strength—to agree on market direction before capital is committed.
Beyond entries, Gypsy Bot features a proprietary Risk Management suite called the Dump Protection Team (DPT). This logic layer operates independently of the entry modules, specifically scanning for "Moon" (Parabolic) or "Nuke" (Crash) volatility events to force-exit positions, overriding standard stops to preserve capital during Black Swan events.
2. ⚠️ The Philosophy of "Curve Fitting" (Must Read)
One must be careful when applying Gypsy Bot to new pairs or charts.
To be fully transparent: Gypsy Bot is, by definition, a very advanced curve-fitting engine. Because it grants the user granular control over 12 modules, dozens of thresholds, and specific voting requirements, it is extremely easy to "over-fit" the data. You can easily toggle switches until the backtest shows a 100% win rate, only to have the strategy fail immediately in live markets because it was tuned to historical noise rather than market structure.
To use this engine successfully, you must adopt a specific optimization mindset:
Ignore Raw Net Profit: Do not tune for the highest dollar amount. A strategy that makes $1M in the backtest but has a 40% drawdown is useless.
Prioritize Stability: Look for a high Profit Factor (1.5+), a high Percent Profitable, and a smooth equity curve.
Regular Maintenance is Mandatory: Markets shift regimes (e.g., from Bull Trend to Crab Range). Parameters that worked perfectly in 2021 may fail in 2024. Gypsy Bot settings should be reviewed and adjusted at regular intervals (e.g., quarterly) to ensure the voting logic remains aligned with current market volatility.
Timeframe Recommendations:
Gypsy Bot is optimized for High Time Frame (HTF) trend following. It generally produces the most reliable results on charts ranging from 1-Hour to 12-Hours, with the 4-Hour timeframe historically serving as the "sweet spot" for most major cryptocurrency assets.
3. The Voting Mechanism: How Entries Are Generated
The heart of the Gypsy Bot engine is the ActivateOrders input (found in the "Order Signal Modifier" settings).
The engine constantly monitors the output of all enabled Modules.
Long Votes: GoLongCount
Short Votes: GoShortCount
If you have 10 Modules enabled, and you set ActivateOrders to 7:
The engine will ONLY trigger a Buy Entry if 7 or more modules return a valid "Buy" signal on the same closed candle.
If only 6 modules agree, the trade is rejected.
This allows you to mix "Leading" indicators (Oscillators) with "Lagging" indicators (Moving Averages) to create a high-probability entry signal that requires momentum, volume, and trend to all be in alignment.
4. Technical Deep Dive: The 12 Modules
Gypsy Bot allows you to toggle the following modules On/Off individually to suit the asset you are trading.
Module 1: Modified Slope Angle (MSA)
Logic: Calculates the geometric angle of a moving average relative to the timeline.
Function: It filters out "lazy" trends. A trend is only considered valid if the slope exceeds a specific steepness threshold. This helps avoid entering trades during weak drifts that often precede a reversal.
Module 2: Correlation Trend Indicator (CTI)
Logic: Based on John Ehlers' work, this measures how closely the current price action correlates to a straight line (a perfect trend).
Function: It outputs a confidence score (-1 to 1). Gypsy Bot uses this to ensure that we are not just moving up, but moving up with high statistical correlation, reducing fake-outs.
Module 3: Ehlers Roofing Filter
Logic: A sophisticated spectral filter that combines a High-Pass filter (to remove long-term drift) with a Super Smoother (to remove high-frequency noise).
Function: It attempts to isolate the "Roof" of the price action. It is excellent at catching cyclical turning points before standard moving averages react.
Module 4: Forecast Oscillator
Logic: Uses Linear Regression forecasting to predict where price "should" be relative to where it is.
Function: When the Forecast Oscillator crosses its zero line, it indicates that the regression trend has flipped. We offer both "Aggressive" and "Conservative" calculation modes for this module.
Module 5: Chandelier ATR Stop
Logic: A volatility-based trend follower that hangs a "leash" (ATR multiple) from the highest high (for longs) or lowest low (for shorts).
Function: Used here as an entry filter. If price is above the Chandelier line, the trend is Bullish. It also includes a "Bull/Bear Qualifier" check to ensure structural support.
Module 6: Crypto Market Breadth (CMB)
Logic: This is a macro-filter. It pulls data from multiple major tickers (BTC, ETH, and Perpetual Contracts) across different exchanges.
Function: It calculates a "Market Health" percentage. If Bitcoin is rising but the rest of the market is dumping, this module can veto a trade, ensuring you don't buy into a "fake" rally driven by a single asset.
Module 7: Directional Index Convergence (DIC)
Logic: Analyzes the convergence/divergence between Fast and Slow Directional Movement indices.
Function: Identifies when trend strength is expanding. A buy signal is generated only when the positive directional movement overpowers the negative movement with expanding momentum.
Module 8: Market Thrust Indicator (MTI)
Logic: A volume-weighted breadth indicator. It uses Advance/Decline data and Up/Down Volume data.
Function: This is one of the most powerful modules. It confirms that price movement is supported by actual volume flow. We recommend using the "SSMA" (Super Smoother) MA Type for the cleanest signals on the 4H chart.
Module 9: Simple Ichimoku Cloud
Logic: Traditional Japanese trend analysis using the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen.
Function: Checks for a "Kumo Breakout." Price must be fully above the Cloud (for longs) or below it (for shorts). This is a classic "trend confirmation" module.
Module 10: Simple Harmonic Oscillator
Logic: Analyzes the harmonic wave properties of price action to detect cyclical tops and bottoms.
Function: Serves as a counter-trend or early-reversal detector. It tries to identify when a cycle has bottomed out (for buys) or topped out (for sells) before the main trend indicators catch up.
Module 11: HSRS Compression / Super AO
Logic: Two options in one.
HSRS: Hirashima Sugita Resistance Support. Detects volatility compression (squeezes) relative to dynamic support/resistance bands.
Super AO: A combination of the Awesome Oscillator and SuperTrend logic.
Function: Great for catching explosive moves that result from periods of low volatility (consolidation).
Module 12: Fisher Transform (MTF)
Logic: Converts price data into a Gaussian normal distribution.
Function: Identifies extreme price deviations. This module uses Multi-Timeframe (MTF) logic to look at higher-timeframe trends (e.g., looking at the Daily Fisher while trading the 4H chart) to ensure you aren't trading against the major trend.
5. Global Inhibitors (The Veto Power)
Even if 12 out of 12 modules vote "Buy," Gypsy Bot performs a final safety check using Global Inhibitors. If any of these are triggered, the trade is blocked.
Bitcoin Halving Logic:
Hardcoded dates for past and projected future Bitcoin halvings (up to 2040).
Trading is inhibited or restricted during the chaotic weeks immediately surrounding a Halving event to avoid volatility crushes.
Miner Capitulation:
Uses Hash Rate Ribbons (Moving averages of Hash Rate).
If miners are capitulating (Shutting down rigs due to unprofitability), the engine flags a "Bearish" regime and can flip logic to Short-only or flat.
ADX Filter (Flat Market Protocol):
If the Average Directional Index (ADX) is below a specific threshold (e.g., 20), the market is deemed "Flat/Choppy." The bot will refuse to open trend-following trades in a flat market.
CryptoCap Trend:
Checks the total Crypto Market Cap chart. If the broad market is in a downtrend, it can inhibit Long entries on individual altcoins.
6. Risk Management & The Dump Protection Team (DPT)
Gypsy Bot separates "Entry Logic" from "Risk Management Logic."
Dump Protection Team (DPT)
This is a specialized logic branch designed to save the account during Black Swan events.
Nuke Protection: If the DPT detects a volatility signature consistent with a flash crash, it overrides all other logic and forces an immediate exit.
Moon Protection: If a parabolic pump is detected that violates statistical probability (Bollinger deviations), DPT can force a profit take before the inevitable correction.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS)
Unlike a static trailing stop (e.g., "trail by 5%"), AATS is dynamic.
Penthouse Level: If price is at the top of the HSRS channel (High Volatility), the stop loosens to allow for wicks.
Dungeon Level: If price is compressed at the bottom, the stop tightens to protect capital.
Staged Take Profits
TP1: Scalp a portion (e.g., 10%) to cover fees and secure a win.
TP2: Take the bulk of profit.
TP3: Leave a "Runner" position with a loose trailing stop to catch "Moon" moves.
7. Recommended Setup Guide
When applying Gypsy Bot to a new chart, follow this sequence:
Set Timeframe: 4 Hours (4H).
Reset: Turn OFF Trailing Stop, Stop Loss, and Take Profits. (We want to see raw entry performance first).
Tune DPT: Adjust "Dump/Moon Protection" inputs first. These have the highest impact on net performance.
Tune Module 8 (MTI): This module is a heavy filter. Experiment with the MA Type (SSMA is recommended).
Select Modules: Enable/Disable modules 1-12 based on the asset's personality (Trending vs. Ranging).
Voting Threshold: Adjust ActivateOrders. A lower number = More Trades (Aggressive). A higher number = Fewer, higher conviction trades (Conservative).
Final Polish: Re-enable Stop Losses, Trailing Stops, and Staged Take Profits to smooth the equity curve and define your max risk per trade.

Limitations and Considerations
The strategy requires sufficient historical data for higher timeframe structure analysis
Quality gate may filter out many potential trades, reducing trade frequency
Performance metrics are based on historical backtesting and do not guarantee future results
Commission and slippage assumptions (0.015% + 2 ticks) may vary by broker
The strategy is optimized for trending markets with clear structure breaks
Choppy or ranging markets may produce false signals
Crypto markets may require different parameter tuning than traditional assets
Optimization Notes
The strategy includes several parameters that can be tuned for different market conditions:
Quality Threshold : Lower values (0.50-0.60) allow more trades but may reduce average quality. Higher values (0.70+) are more selective but may miss opportunities.
Structure Timeframe : Use 240 (4H) for intraday trading, Daily for swing trading, Weekly for position trading
Volume Gate : Disable for low-liquidity pairs or when volume data is unreliable
Dual MACD Fusion : Disable for mean-reverting markets where single MACD may be more responsive
Trade Discipline : Adjust max trades and cooldown based on your risk tolerance and market volatility
Non-Repainting Guarantee
All higher timeframe data requests use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent repainting. Pivot detection waits for full confirmation before registering structure breaks. All visual elements (tables, labels) update only on closed bars.
Alerts
Three alert conditions are available:
ChronoPulse Long Setup : Fires when all long entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse Short Setup : Fires when all short entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse QA Certification : Fires when Quality Assurance console reaches CERTIFIED status
Configure alerts with "Once Per Bar Close" delivery to match the non-repainting design.
Visual Elements
Structure Labels : CHOCH↑, CHOCH↓, BOS↑, BOS↓ markers on structure breaks
Directional EMA : Orange line showing trend bias
Trailing Stop Lines : Green (long) and red (short) trailing stop levels
Dashboard Panel : Real-time status display (structure, MACD, ATR, quality, PnL)
QA Console : Quality assurance monitoring panel
Integrity Suite Panel : Optional validation status display
Recommended Usage
Forward test with paper trading before live deployment
Monitor the QA console until it reaches CERTIFIED status
Adjust parameters based on your specific market and timeframe
Respect the trade discipline limits to avoid over-trading
Review quality scores and adjust threshold if needed
Use appropriate commission and slippage settings for your broker
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with the following key features:
Multi-timeframe data requests with lookahead protection
Confirmed pivot detection for structure analysis
Dynamic trailing stop management
Real-time quality score calculation
Trade budgeting and cooldown enforcement
Comprehensive dashboard and monitoring panels
All source code is open and available for review and modification.

ATR ZigZag BreakoutATR ZigZag Breakout
This strategy uses my ATR ZigZag indicator (powered by the ZigZagCore library) to scalp breakouts at volatility-filtered highs and lows.
Everyone knows stops cluster around clear swing highs and lows. Breakout traders often pile in there, too. These levels are predictable areas where aggressive orders hit the tape. The idea here is simple:
→ Let ATR ZigZag define clean, volatility-filtered pivots
→ Arm a stop market order at those pivots
→ Join the breakout when the crowd hits the level
The key to greater success in this simple strategy lies in the ZigZag. Because the pivots are filtered by ATR instead of fixed bar counts or fractals, the levels tend to be more meaningful and less noisy.
This approach is especially suited for intraday trading on volatile instruments (e.g., NQ, GC, liquid crypto pairs).
How It Works
1. Pivot detection
The ATR ZigZag uses an ATR-based threshold to confirm swing highs and lows. Only when price has moved far enough in the opposite direction does a pivot become “official.”
2. Candidate breakout level
When a new swing direction is detected and the most recent high/low has not yet been broken in the current leg, the strategy arms a stop market order at that pivot.
• Long candidate → most recent swing high
• Short candidate → most recent swing low
These “candidate trades” are shown as dotted lines.
3. Entry, SL, and TP
If price breaks through the level, the stop order is filled and a bracket is placed:
• Stop loss = ATR × SL multiplier
• Take profit = SL distance × RR multiplier
Once a level has traded, it is not reused in the same swing leg.
4. Cancel & rotate
If the market reverses and forms a new swing in the opposite direction before the level is hit, the pending order is cancelled and a new candidate is considered in the new direction.
Additional Features
• Optional session filter for backtesting specific trading hours
Reversal WaveThis is the type of quantitative system that can get you hated on investment forums, now that the Random Walk Theory is back in fashion. The strategy has simple price action rules, zero over-optimization, and is validated by a historical record of nearly a century on both Gold and the S&P 500 index.

System Rules and Parameters
Total capital: $10,000
We will use 10% of the total capital per trade
Commissions will be 0.1% per trade
Condition 1: Previous Bearish Candle (isPrevBearish) (the closing price was lower than the opening price).
Condition 2: Midpoint of the Body The script calculates the exact midpoint of the body of that previous bearish candle.
• Formula: (Previous Open + Previous Close) / 2.
Condition 3: 50% Recovery (longCondition) The current candle must be bullish (green) and, most importantly, its closing price must be above the midpoint calculated in the previous step.
Once these parameters are met, the system executes a long entry and calculates the exit parameters:
Stop Loss (SL): Placed at the low of the candle that generated the entry signal.
Take Profit (TP): Calculated by projecting the risk distance upward.
• Calculation: Entry Price + (Risk * 1).
Risk:Reward Ratio of 1:1.
About the Profit Factor
In my experience, TradingView calculates profits and losses based on the percentage of movement, which can cause returns to not match expectations. This doesn’t significantly affect trending systems, but it can impact systems with a high win rate and a well-defined risk-reward ratio. It only takes one large entry candle that triggers the SL to translate into a major drop in performance.
For example, you might see a system with a 60% win rate and a 1:1 risk-reward ratio generating losses, even though commissions are under control relative to the number of trades.
My recommendation is to manually calculate the performance of systems with a well-defined risk-reward ratio, assuming you will trade using a fixed amount per trade and limit losses to a fixed percentage.
Remember that, even if candles are larger or smaller in size, we can maintain a fixed loss percentage by using leverage (in cases of low volatility) or reducing the capital at risk (when volatility is high).
Implementing leverage or capital reduction based on volatility is something I haven’t been able to incorporate into the code, but it would undoubtedly improve the system’s performance dramatically, as it would fix a consistent loss percentage per trade, preventing losses from fluctuating with volatility swings.
For example, we can maintain a fixed loss percentage when volatility is low by using the following formula:
Leverage = % of SL you’re willing to risk / % volatility from entry point to exit or SL
And if volatility is high and exceeds the fixed percentage we want to expose per trade (if SL is hit), we could reduce the position size.
For example, imagine we only want to risk 15% per SL on Tesla, where volatility is high and would cause a 23.57% loss. In this case, we subtract 23.57% from 15% (the loss percentage we’re willing to accept per trade), then subtract the result from our usual position size.
23.57% - 15% = 8.57%
Suppose I use $200 per trade.
To calculate 8.57% of $200, simply multiply 200 by 8.57/100. This simple calculation shows that 8.57% equals about $17.14 of the $200. Then subtract that value from $200:
$200 - $17.14 = $182.86
In summary, if we reduced the position size to $182.86 (from the usual $200, where we’re willing to lose 15%), no matter whether Tesla moves up or down 23.57%, we would still only gain or lose 15% of the $200, thus respecting our risk management.
Final Notes
The code is extremely simple, and every step of its development is detailed within it.

US Market Long Horizon Momentum Summary in one paragraph
US Market Long Horizon Momentum is a trend following strategy for US index ETFs and futures built around a single eighteen month time series momentum measure. It helps you stay long during persistent bull regimes and step aside or flip short when long term momentum turns negative.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap US equity indices, liquid US index ETFs, index futures
• Timeframes. 4h/ Daily charts
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 4h timeframe chart
• Purpose. Provide a minimal long bias index timing model that can reduce deep drawdowns and capture major cycles without parameter mining
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. One unscaled multiple month log return of an external benchmark symbol drives all entries and exits, with optional volatility targeting as a single risk control switch.
• Failure mode addressed. Fully passive buy and hold ignores the sign of long horizon momentum and can sit through multi year drawdowns. This script offers a way to step down risk in prolonged negative momentum without chasing short term noise.
• Testability. All parameters are visible in Inputs and the momentum series is plotted so users can verify every regime change in the Tester and on price history.
• Portable yardstick. The log return over a fixed window is a unit that can be applied to any liquid symbol with daily data.
Method overview in plain language
The method looks at how far the benchmark symbol has moved in log return terms over an eighteen month window in our example. If that long horizon return is positive the strategy allows a long stance on the traded symbol. If it is negative and shorts are enabled the strategy can flip short, otherwise it goes flat. There is an optional realised volatility estimate on the traded symbol that can scale position size toward a target annual volatility, but in the default configuration the model uses unit leverage and only the sign of momentum matters.
Base measures
Return basis. The core yardstick is the natural log of close divided by the close eighteen months ago on the benchmark symbol. Daily log returns of the traded symbol feed the realised volatility estimate when volatility targeting is enabled.
Components
• Component one Momentum eighteen months. Log of benchmark close divided by its close mom_lookback bars ago. Its sign defines the trend regime. No extra smoothing is applied beyond the long window itself.
• Component two Realised volatility optional. Standard deviation of daily log returns on the traded symbol over sixty three days. Annualised by the square root of 252. Used only when volatility targeting is enabled.
• Optional component Volatility targeting. Converts target annual volatility and realised volatility into a leverage factor clipped by a maximum leverage setting.
Fusion rule
The model uses a simple gate. First compute the sign of eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol. Optionally compute leverage from volatility. The sign decides whether the strategy wants to be long, short, or flat. Leverage only rescales position size when enabled and does not change direction.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion. When eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol is greater than zero, the strategy wants to be long.
• Short suggestion. When that log momentum is less than zero and shorts are allowed, the strategy wants to be short. If shorts are disabled it stays flat instead.
• Wait state. When the log momentum is exactly zero or history is not long enough the strategy stays flat.
• In position. In practice the strategy sits IN LONG while the sign stays positive and flips to IN SHORT or flat only when the sign changes.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Momentum Lookback (months). Controls the horizon of the log return on the benchmark symbol. Typical range 6 to 24 months. Raising it makes the model slower and more selective. Lowering it makes it more reactive and sensitive to medium term noise.
• Symbol. External symbol used for the momentum calculation, SPY by default. Changing it lets you time other indices or run signals from a benchmark while trading a correlated instrument.
Logic
• Allow Shorts. When true the strategy will open short positions during negative momentum regimes. When false it will stay flat whenever momentum is negative. Practical setting is tied to whether you use a margin account or an ETF that supports shorting.
Internal risk parameters (not exposed as inputs in this version) are:
• Target Vol (annual). Target annual volatility for volatility targeting, default 0.2.
• Vol Lookback (days). Window for realised volatility, default 63 trading days.
• Max Leverage. Cap on leverage when volatility targeting is enabled, default 2.

Realism and responsible publication
The strategy is for education and research only. It does not claim any guaranteed edge or future performance. All results in Strategy Tester are hypothetical and depend on the data vendor, costs, and slippage assumptions. Intrabar motion is not modeled inside daily bars so extreme moves and gaps can lead to fills that differ from live trading. The logic is built for standard candles and should not be used on synthetic chart types for execution decisions.
Performance is sensitive to regime structure in the US equity market, which may change over time. The strategy does not protect against single day crash risk inside bars and does not model gap risk explicitly. Past behavior of SPY and the momentum effect does not guarantee future persistence.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Long sideways regimes with small net change over eighteen months can lead to whipsaw around the zero line.
• Very sharp V shaped reversals after deep declines will often be missed because the model waits for momentum to turn positive again.
• The sample size in a full SPY history is small because regime changes are infrequent, so any test must be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically precise.
• The model is highly dependent on the chosen lookback. Users should test nearby values and validate that behavior is qualitatively stable.

Momentum Reversal / Dip Buyer [Score Based]Strategy Overview
Momentum Reversal / Dip Buyer is a quantitative reversal engine designed to fade stretched moves and buy dips / sell rallies when multiple momentum and context factors line up. It’s built for liquid instruments especially for ticker CME_MINI:ES1! and works best on intraday timeframes like the 5-minute or 1-minute chart.
Core Logic
This strategy builds a composite Momentum Score by combining:
Price Location: Relative to 100 SMA, 1000 EMA, and VWAP (trend / regime filter).
RSI: Overbought/oversold and mid-zone strength.
VWMO (Volume-Weighted Momentum): Direction and strength of volume-weighted price drift.
ADX: Trend strength filter (high vs low trend environment).
Full Stoch (%K): Short-term exhaustion and mean-reversion context.
CCI: Overbought/oversold turns (key trigger).
MFI: Volume-confirmed buying/selling pressure.
ATR Regime: High vs low volatility environment.
Cumulative Delta: Whether net aggressor flow is rising or falling.
From this, a single Momentum Score is computed each bar:
Longs: Taken when the score is depressed (scoreLow) and CCI crosses up from oversold.
Shorts: Taken when the score is elevated (scoreHigh) and CCI crosses down from overbought.
Risk Management & Trade Logic
Max Daily Trades: Hard cap on entries per day.
Hard Stop: Fixed % stop based on entry price.
Profit Target: Target ATR Multiplier × main ATR from entry.
Breakeven Logic: Optional; moves stop to breakeven (plus optional offset) after price moves a configurable multiple of the main ATR in your favor.
Trailing Stop (Separate ATR): Optional; uses its own ATR length and ATR-based trigger and distance. This lets you run slower ATR for targets while using a tighter, more reactive ATR for the trail.
Session Control
Trading Window: Optional session filter (e.g., 09:30–16:00). Entries are only allowed inside the defined window.
Force Flat at Session End: Option to automatically close all open positions when the session ends.
Visuals
The script plots entry arrows and a compact dashboard displaying: current Momentum Score, daily trade usage, and CCI status.

Inyerneck Quiet Bottom Hunter v36 — Last Sorta-Working VersionQuiet Bottom Hunter v36 — Accurate Description (the sorta-working version that fires signals)
Overview
A mean-reversion bottom-hunting strategy for small-cap stocks (<$2B market cap). Designed to catch slow-bleed stocks that quietly bottom out and rebound 20–60%+. Good for beginners because signals are infrequent and the setup is easy to understand.
Timeframe
Daily (D) — best results on 1-day charts. Works on weekly too, but signals are rarer.
Triggers / Conditions (all must be true at bar close)
Drop from high ≥ 25% from the highest high in the last 100 bars (previous bars only — no repainting)
Volume ≤ 80% of the 50-day average (quiet accumulation, no panic selling left)
RSI(14) ≤ 38 (oversold territory)
Green/flat streak ≥ 2 consecutive days where close ≥ open (shows sellers are exhausted)
When all four line up → tiny green “QB” triangle below the bar
Firing Frequency
1–4 signals per month on an average small-cap stock (depends on market conditions). Some months zero, some months a handful. Not spammy, but not ultra-rare either.
Usage Parameters
Position size: 10% of equity per trade (default — change to 5–20% depending on risk tolerance)
Profit target: 40%
Stop loss: 12%
Hold time: usually 2–8 weeks
Best on low-float, high-volatility small caps (TLRY, SNDL, MVIS, SOUN, INHD, etc.)
Expected Performance (backtested on 2025 small caps)
Win rate: ~80–85%
Average rebound on winners: +30–40%
Some losers when the bottom isn't "quiet" enough
How to use
Add to daily charts of your small-cap watchlist
When “QB” arrow appears, buy at next open or market
Set 40% target / 12% stop or trail it
Wait for the rebound — no day-trading needed
The Flody SniperA trend-following sniper strategy that uses two EMAs (21/55) and RSI to confirm momentum.
It enters long when price crosses above the fast EMA during an uptrend and RSI shows strength.
It enters short when price crosses below the fast EMA during a downtrend and RSI shows weakness.
Pyramiding is enabled so the strategy can add more positions as the trend continues.
Positions close when momentum weakens or price breaks back through the fast EMA.
Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion using RSI [Krishna Peri]How it Works
Long entries trigger when:
- RSI reaches oversold levels, and
- At least one bullish candle closes inside the lower Bollinger Band
Short entries trigger when:
- RSI reaches overbought levels, and
- At least one bearish candle closes inside the upper Bollinger Band
This approach aims to capture exhaustion moves where price pushes into extreme deviation from its mean and then snaps back toward the middle band.
Important Disclaimer
This is a mean-reversion strategy, which means it performs best in sideways, ranging, or slowly oscillating market conditions. When markets shift into strong trends, Bollinger Bands expand and volatility increases, which may cause some signals to become inaccurate or fail altogether.
For best results, combine this script with:
- Price action
- Market structure
- Higher-timeframe trend context
- Previous day/week/month highs & lows
- Untested liquidity levels or imbalance zones
- Session timing (Asia, London, NY)
Using these confluences helps filter out low-probability trades and significantly improves consistency and precision.
Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQHere's a comprehensive description of the Options Scalper v2 strategy:
---
## Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQ
### Overview
A multi-indicator confluence-based scalping strategy designed for trading SPY and QQQ options on short timeframes (1-5 minute charts). The strategy uses a scoring system to generate high-probability CALL and PUT signals by requiring alignment across multiple technical indicators before triggering entries.
---
### Core Logic
The strategy operates on a **scoring system (0-9 points)** where both bullish (CALL) and bearish (PUT) conditions are evaluated independently. A signal only fires when:
1. A recent EMA crossover occurred (within the last 3 bars)
2. The direction's score meets the minimum threshold (default: 4 points)
3. The signal's score is higher than the opposite direction
4. Enough bars have passed since the last signal (cooldown period)
5. Price action occurs during valid trading sessions
---
### Indicators Used
| Indicator | Purpose | CALL Condition | PUT Condition |
|-----------|---------|----------------|---------------|
| **9/21 EMA Cross** | Primary trigger | Fast EMA crosses above slow | Fast EMA crosses below slow |
| **200 EMA** | Trend filter | Price above 200 EMA | Price below 200 EMA |
| **RSI (14)** | Momentum filter | RSI between 45-65 | RSI between 35-55 |
| **VWAP** | Institutional level | Price above VWAP | Price below VWAP |
| **MACD (12,26,9)** | Momentum confirmation | MACD line > Signal line | MACD line < Signal line |
| **Stochastic (14,3)** | Overbought/Oversold | Oversold or K > D | Overbought or K < D |
| **Volume** | Participation confirmation | Spike on green candle | Spike on red candle |
| **Price Structure** | Breakout detection | Higher high formed | Lower low formed |
---
### Scoring Breakdown
**CALL Score (Max 9 points):**
- Recent EMA cross up: +2 pts
- EMA alignment (fast > slow): +1 pt
- RSI in bullish range: +1 pt
- Above VWAP: +1 pt
- MACD bullish: +1 pt
- Volume spike on green candle: +1 pt
- Stochastic setup: +1 pt
- Above 200 EMA: +1 pt
- Breaking higher high: +1 pt
**PUT Score (Max 9 points):**
- Recent EMA cross down: +2 pts
- EMA alignment (fast < slow): +1 pt
- RSI in bearish range: +1 pt
- Below VWAP: +1 pt
- MACD bearish: +1 pt
- Volume spike on red candle: +1 pt
- Stochastic setup: +1 pt
- Below 200 EMA: +1 pt
- Breaking lower low: +1 pt
---
### Risk Management
The strategy uses **ATR-based dynamic stops and targets**:
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Stop Loss | 1.5x ATR | Distance below entry for longs, above for shorts |
| Take Profit | 2.0x ATR | Creates a 1:1.33 risk-reward ratio |
Positions are also closed on:
- Opposite direction signal (flip trade)
- Take profit or stop loss hit
---
### Session Filtering
Trades are restricted to high-liquidity periods by default:
- **Morning Session:** 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM EST
- **Afternoon Session:** 2:30 PM - 3:55 PM EST
This avoids choppy midday price action and captures the highest volume periods.
---
### Input Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Fast EMA | 9 | Fast moving average period |
| Slow EMA | 21 | Slow moving average period |
| Trend EMA | 200 | Long-term trend filter |
| RSI Length | 14 | RSI calculation period |
| RSI Overbought | 65 | Upper RSI threshold |
| RSI Oversold | 35 | Lower RSI threshold |
| Volume Multiplier | 1.2x | Volume spike detection threshold |
| Min Signal Strength | 4 | Minimum score required to trigger |
| Crossover Lookback | 3 | Bars to consider crossover "recent" |
| Min Bars Between Signals | 5 | Cooldown period between signals |

| ATR TP Mult | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| Option Delta | 0.40-0.50 | 0.30-0.40 |
---
### Key Improvements Over v1
1. **Requires actual crossover** - Eliminates false signals from simple trend continuation
2. **Balanced scoring** - Both directions evaluated equally, highest score wins
3. **Signal cooldown** - Prevents overtrading with minimum bar spacing
4. **Multi-indicator confluence** - 8 factors must align for signal generation
5. **Volume-candle alignment** - Volume spikes only count when matching candle direction

Hyper Insight MA Strategy [Universal]Hyper Insight MA Strategy ** is a comprehensive trend-following engine designed for traders who require precision and flexibility. Unlike standard indicators that lock you into a single calculation method, this strategy serves as a "Universal Adapter," allowing you to **Mix & Match 13 different Moving Average types** for both the Fast and Slow trend lines independently.
Whether you need the smoothness of T3, the responsiveness of HMA, or the classic reliability of SMA, this script enables you to backtest thousands of combinations to find the perfect edge for your specific asset class.

🔬 Deep Dive: Calculation Logic of Included MAs
This strategy includes 13 distinct calculation methods. Understanding the math behind them will help you choose the right tool for your specific market conditions.
#### 1. Standard Averages
* **SMA (Simple Moving Average):** The unweighted mean of the previous $n$ data points.
* *Logic:* Treats every price point in the period with equal importance. Good for identifying long-term macro trends but reacts slowly to recent volatility.
* **WMA (Weighted Moving Average):** A linear weighted average.
* *Logic:* Assigns heavier weight to current data linearly (e.g., $1, 2, 3... n$). It reacts faster than SMA but is still relatively smooth.
* **SWMA (Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* Uses a fixed-length window (usually 4 bars) with symmetrical weights $ $. It prioritizes the center of the recent data window.
#### 2. Exponential & Lag-Reducing Averages
* **EMA (Exponential Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* Applies an exponential decay weighting factor. Recent prices have significantly more impact on the average than older prices, reducing lag compared to SMA.
* **RMA (Running Moving Average):** Also known as Wilder's Smoothing (used in RSI).
* *Logic:* It is essentially an EMA but with a slower alpha weight of $1/length$. It provides a very smooth, stable line that filters out noise effectively.
* **DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* Calculated as $2 \times EMA - EMA(EMA)$. By subtracting the "lag" (the smoothed EMA) from the original EMA, DEMA provides a much faster reaction to price changes with less noise than a standard EMA.
* **TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* Calculated as $3 \times EMA - 3 \times EMA(EMA) + EMA(EMA(EMA))$. This effectively eliminates the lag inherent in single and double EMAs, making it an extremely fast-tracking indicator for scalping.
#### 3. Advanced & Adaptive Averages
* **HMA (Hull Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* A composite formula involving Weighted Moving Averages: ASX:WMA (2 \times Integer(n/2)) - WMA(n)$. The result is then smoothed by a $\sqrt{n}$ WMA.
* *Effect:* It eliminates lag almost entirely while managing to improve curve smoothness, solving the traditional trade-off between speed and noise.
* **ZLEMA (Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* This calculation attempts to remove lag by modifying the data source before smoothing. It calculates a "lag" value $(length-1)/2$ and applies an EMA to the data: $Source + (Source - Source )$. This creates a projection effect that tracks price tightly.
* **T3 (Tillson T3 Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* A complex smoothing technique that runs an EMA through a filter multiple times using a "Volume Factor" (set to 0.7 in this script).
* *Effect:* It produces a curve that is incredibly smooth and free of "overshoot," making it excellent for filtering out market chop.
* **ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* Uses a Gaussian distribution (bell curve) to assign weights. It allows the user to offset the moving average (moving the peak of the weight) to align it perfectly with the price, balancing smoothness and responsiveness.
* **LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* Calculates the endpoint of a Linear Regression line for the lookback period. It essentially guesses where the price "should" be based on the best-fit line of the recent trend.
* **VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average):**
* *Logic:* Weights the closing price by the volume of that bar.
* *Effect:* Prices on high volume days pull the MA harder than prices on low volume days. This is excellent for validating true trend strength (i.e., a breakout on high volume will move the VWMA significantly).

12M Return Strategy This strategy is based on the original Dual Momentum concept presented by Gary Antonacci in his book “Dual Momentum Investing.”
It implements the absolute momentum portion of the framework using a 12-month rate of change, combined with a moving-average filter for trend confirmation.
The script automatically adapts the lookback period depending on chart timeframe, ensuring the return calculation always represents approximately one year, whether you are on daily, weekly, or monthly charts.
How the Strategy Works
1. 12-Month Return Calculation
The core signal is the 12-month price return, computed as:
(Current Price ÷ Price from ~1 year ago) − 1
This return:
Plots as a histogram
Turns green when positive
Turns red when negative
The lookback adjusts automatically:
1D chart → 252 bars
1W chart → 52 bars
1M chart → 12 bars
Other timeframes → estimated to approximate 1 calendar year
2. Trend Filter (Moving Average of Return)
To smooth volatility and avoid noise, the strategy applies a moving average to the 12M return:
Default length: 12 periods
Plotted as a white line on the indicator panel
This becomes the benchmark used for crossovers.
3. Trade Signals (Long / Short / Cash)
Trades are generated using a simple crossover mechanism:
Bullish Signal (Go Long)
When:
12M Return crosses ABOVE its MA
Action:
Close short (if any)
Enter long
Bearish Signal (Go Short or Go Flat)
When:
12M Return crosses BELOW its MA
Action:
If shorting is enabled → Enter short
If shorting is disabled → Exit position and go to cash
Shorting can be enabled or disabled with a single input switch.
4. Position Sizing
The strategy uses:
Percent of Equity position sizing
You can specify the percentage of your portfolio to allocate (default 100%).
No leverage is required, but the strategy supports it if your account settings allow.
5. Visual Signals
To improve clarity, the strategy marks signals directly on the indicator panel:
Green Up Arrows: return > MA
Red Down Arrows: return < MA
A status label shows the current mode:
LONG
SHORT
CASH
6. Backtest-Ready
This script is built as a full TradingView strategy, not just an indicator.
This means you can:
Run complete backtests
View performance metrics
Compare long-only vs long/short behavior
Adjust inputs to tune the system
It provides a clean, rule-driven interpretation of the classic absolute momentum approach.
Inspired By: Gary Antonacci – Dual Momentum Investing
This script reflects the absolute momentum side of Antonacci’s original research:
Uses 12-month momentum (the most statistically validated lookback)
Applies a trend-following overlay to control downside risk
Recreates the classic signal structure used in academic studies
It is a simplified, transparent version intended for practical use and educational clarity.

Estrategia Trend Following: 52w/26w BreakoutThis is a classic long-term Trend Following strategy, heavily inspired by the Donchian Channel system and the legendary "Turtle Trading" rules. It is designed to capture major market moves (bull runs) while filtering out short-term market noise and volatility.
This script is ideal for investors and swing traders who prefer a "hands-off" approach, looking to catch large trends rather than day-trading small fluctuations.
How it Works:
1. Entry Condition (The Breakout):
52-Week High: The strategy enters a Long position when the price breaks above the highest high of the last 252 trading days (approx. 1 year).
SuperTrend Filter: An additional filter using the SuperTrend indicator ensures that the breakout is supported by positive momentum, helping to reduce false signals during choppy lateral markets.
2. Exit Condition (The Trailing Stop):
26-Week Low: The strategy ignores short-term corrections. It only closes the position if the price closes below the lowest low of the last 126 trading days (approx. 6 months).
This wide stop allows the trade to "breathe" and stay open during significant pullbacks, ensuring you stay in the trend for as long as possible.
Features & Settings:
Customizable Lookback Periods: You can adjust the Entry (default 252 days) and Exit (default 126 days) periods in the settings menu.
Visual Aids:
Blue Line: Represents the 1-Year High (Entry Threshold).
Red Line: Represents the 6-Month Low (Dynamic Stop Loss).
Channel Shading: Visualizes the trading range between the high and low.
Labels: Clearly marks "BUY" and "EXIT" points on the chart.
Recommended Usage:
Timeframe: Daily (1D). This logic is designed for daily candles.
Assets: Works best on assets with strong trending characteristics (e.g., Bitcoin/Crypto, Tech Stocks, Indices like SPX/NDX, and Commodities).
Patience Required: This strategy generates very few signals. It may stay quiet for months and then hold a position for over a year.
