IC Swing - V1The core goal of the script is to capture trades that align with a strong trend confirmed by the Ichimoku Cloud and ADX/DMI, with entries based on a Kijun-Tenkan cross and exits managed by dynamic swing pivot-based trailing stops.
Position Management & Exit Logic
The strategy uses a robust, two-part system to manage risk and lock in profits:
Initial Stop Loss (SL): An immediate, hard stop-loss is placed when a trade opens, calculated as the ATR Multiplier (default 2.0) away from the entry bar's low (for long) or high (for short). This provides instant protection.
Trailing Stop: After a configurable delay (minBarsBeforeExit, default 2 bars), the initial stop-loss is overwritten by a dynamic trailing stop. This stop is based on the last confirmed swing pivot (low for long, high for short), buffered by a small ATR amount (0.5). The stop only trails in the direction of the trade (e.g., moves up for a long trade) and never moves against it.
Hard Exit (Swing Break): The position is closed if the price breaks the last confirmed swing pivot against the trade direction, acting as a second, swing-based exit mechanism.
Latching Exits: The exitLatchLong/exitLatchShort variables are used to prevent the strategy from immediately reversing or re-entering on the same bar after a position has been closed due to a stop hit or a hard exit.
Indicators and strategies
LuBot Ultimate Price Action Strategy (Automatic Trading Bot)ITA in fondo
This is the strategic version of the LuBot indicator released on January 23, 2023.
I won't rewrite the entire description here because it would just be repetitive, so for those who want to understand how LuBot works and what it contains, you can find it from the following link:https://it.tradingview.com/script/sTnE378Z/
After several modifications and updates over the years, I also created the version that shows the results of the backtest as the initial idea was to follow a more discretionary strategy using the indicator alone, but it is certainly useful to already have an idea, an overview of the markets and timeframes in which the strategy performs best and on which to decide to operate.
Backtest results are obviously not guarantees of future earnings, so I take no responsibility for using this strategy.
The strategy serves to give an idea of profitability, the results obtained must only serve as a general idea that the strategy worked in that market.
Having said this, within the strategy you will find everything that LuBot normally contains, with the addition of the fields to also activate the automatic bot.
In the settings you will then find 4 windows in which to enter messages to activate the bot for automatic trading.
Inside the first window I have already entered the instructions to start the automatic bot.
If you want the bot to only execute Long trades, set the strategy to "Long Only", enter the trade opening message and the trade closing message only in the 2 windows dedicated to Long trades.
Insert the webhook, activate the "any alert function" alert and the bot is active.
The strategy operates at the close of the candle for both entry and exit.
The Take Profit and Stop Loss levels are automatic by default and are updated on each candle looking for the ideal exit both in profit and loss.
In the latest update, the label has been introduced which shows whether there are Price Action or further signal strength signals in that trigger.
CONCLUSION
I started working on the LuBot indicator in 2019 when I realized that I was not made to trade on fast-paced timeframes as they only led to me losing money.
So I started studying the higher timeframes (4h, Daily, Weekly) and I understood that the best strategy is trend chasing.
Personally, therefore, I look for the triggers on the 4h and go to check if the daily and weekly are in a favorable trend.
With the 2 horizontal structure lines D and W you can see from any timeframe whether the structure is favorable.
If everything matches I place the order and wait.
I don't look at what's happening all day. I created this indicator/strategy to stay relaxed.
In the evening calmly, even from my mobile phone I can easily see the graphs and understand whether to open or close positions.
This was the result I wanted to achieve. Trade calmly and profitably without too many complexities.
Let's make our lives easier.
I hope you like this strategy and appreciate its potential.
For any information I am always available :)
ITALIANO
Questa è la versione strategica dell'indicatore LuBot pubblicato il 23 gennaio 2023.
Non riscrivo qui tutta la descrizione perché sarebbe solo ripetitivo quindi per chi volesse capire come funziona LuBot e cosa contiene più trovarlo dal seguente link:
Dopo diverse modifiche e aggiornamenti nel corso degli anni ho provveduto anche a realizzare la versione che mostra i risultati del backtest in quanto l'idea iniziale era quella di seguire una strategia più discrezionale tramite il solo utilizzo dell'indicatore, ma è sicuramente utile avere già un idea, una panoramica dei mercati e timeframe in cui la strategia performa al meglio e su cui decidere di operare.
I risultati del backtest ovviamente non sono garanzie di guadagni futuri, quindi non mi assumo responsabilità riguardo l'utilizzo di questa strategia.
La strategia serve per dare un idea di profittabilità, i risultati ottenuti devono servire solo come idea generale che in quel mercato la strategia ha funzionato.
Fatta questa premessa, all'interno della strategia troverai tutto ciò che contiene normalmente LuBot, con l'aggiunta dei campi per attivare anche il bot automatico.
Nelle impostazioni troverai quindi 4 finestre in cui inserire i messaggi per attivare il bot per il trading automatico.
All'interno della prima finestra ho già inserito le istruzioni per avviare il bot automatico.
Se vuoi che il bot esegua solo le operazioni Long, imposta la strategia su "Long Only", inserisci il messaggio di apertura del trade e il messaggio di chiusura del trade solo nelle 2 finestre dedicate ai trade Long.
Inserisci il webhook, attiva l'alert "any alert function" e il bot è attivo.
La strategia opera alla chiusura della candela sia per l'entrata che per l'uscita.
I livelli di Take Profit e Stop Loss sono automatici di default e si aggiornano su ogni candela cercando l'uscita ideale sia in guadagno che in perdita.
Nell'ultimo aggiornamento è stato introdotta l'etichetta che mostra se in quel trigger ci sono segnali di Price Action o di ulteriore forza del segnale.
CONCLUSIONE
Ho iniziato a lavorare sull'indicatore LuBot nel 2019 quando capii che non ero fatto per tradare su timeframe frenetici in quanto mi portavano solo a perdere soldi.
Quindi ho iniziato a studiare i timeframe più alti (4h, Daily, Weekly) e ho capito che la migliore strategia è quella dell'inseguimento del trend.
Personalmente quindi cerco i trigger sul 4h e vado a controllare se il daily e il weekly sono in tendenza favorevole.
Con le 2 linee orizzontali della struttura D e W puoi vedere da qualsiasi timeframe se la struttura è favorevole.
Se tutto coincide piazzo l'ordine e aspetto.
Non guardo tutto il giorno cosa succede. Ho creato questo indicatore/strategia per stare rilassato.
La sera con calma, anche dal cellulare riesco a vedere facilmente i grafici e capire se aprire o chiudere le posizioni.
Questo era il risultato che volevo ottenere. Fare trading in modo tranquillo e profittevole senza troppe complessità.
Rendiamoci la vita più semplice.
Spero che questa strategia sia di tuo gradimento e che sappia apprezzare le sue potenzialità.
Per qualsiasi informazione sono sempre disponibile :)

Volumatic VIDYA + 3S-first-after-trendVolumatic VIDYA • 1R Strategy + Stats + 3S-first-after-trend
The Volumatic VIDYA 1R Strategy is a trend-following breakout system designed to capture clean reversals confirmed by volatility and price action patterns.
It combines Volumetric Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) smoothing with ATR-based volatility bands to define dynamic market regimes — and then enters only the first high-probability “3 Line Strike” (3S) pattern that appears immediately after a confirmed trend flip.
Once a signal is detected, the strategy executes a 1R fixed-risk trade (Take Profit = Stop Loss distance) to maintain balanced reward-to-risk consistency and support robust compounding.
Core Concept
Detects trend reversal when the price closes beyond the opposite VIDYA band.
Waits for the first 3 Line Strike pattern (bullish or bearish) in the new trend direction.
Enters position on that 3S signal only — “first after flip” logic avoids over-trading in noisy conditions.
Sets SL = opposite band, TP = 1R, with optional 1-bar delay for realistic execution alignment.
Included Features
Adaptive VIDYA smoothing based on momentum and volatility.
ATR-based dynamic channel and automatic trend state visualization.
Built-in performance dashboard showing:
Win / Draw / Loss counts over last N trades
Win rate %, average P&L
Losing streak statistics (≥5, ≥6, ≥7 losses)
Fully backtestable and customizable parameters (lengths, ATR distance, lookback stats, etc.)
Usage Notes
Works best on volatile assets like XAUUSD, indices, or crypto, especially on M1–M15 timeframes.
Recommended for trend continuation traders seeking structured 1R setups with transparent statistics.
Can be optimized for smoother or faster VIDYA response depending on the instrument.

Quasimodo Pattern Strategy Back Test [TradingFinder] QM Trading🔵 Introduction
The QM pattern, also known as the Quasimodo pattern, is one of the popular patterns in price action, and it is often used by technical analysts. The QM pattern is used to identify trend reversals and provides a very good risk-to-reward ratio. One of the advantages of the QM pattern is its high frequency and visibility in charts.
Additionally, due to its strength, it is highly profitable, and as mentioned, its risk-to-reward ratio is very good. The QM pattern is highly popular among traders in supply and demand, and traders also use this pattern.
The Price Action QM pattern, like other Price Action patterns, has two types: Bullish QM and Bearish QM patterns. To identify this pattern, you need to be familiar with its types to recognize it.
🔵 Identifying the QM Pattern
🟣 Bullish QM
In the bullish QM pattern, as you can see in the image below, an LL and HH are formed. As you can see, the neckline is marked as a dashed line. When the price reaches this range, it will start its upward movement.
🟣 Bearish QM
The Price Action QM pattern also has a bearish pattern. As you can see in the image below, initially, an HH and LL are formed. The neckline in this image is the dashed line, and when the LL is formed, the price reaches this neckline. However, it cannot pass it, and the downward trend resumes.
🔵 How to Use
The Quasimodo pattern is one of the clearest structures used to identify market reversals. It is built around the concept of a structural break followed by a pullback into an area of trapped liquidity. Instead of relying on lagging indicators, this pattern focuses purely on price action and how the market reacts after exhausting one side of liquidity. When understood correctly, it provides traders with precise entry points at the transition between trend phases.
🟣 Bullish Quasimodo
A bullish Quasimodo forms after a clear downtrend when sellers start losing control. The market continues to make lower lows until a sudden higher high appears, signaling that buyers are entering with strength. Price then pulls back to retest the previous low, creating what is known as the Quasimodo low.
This area often becomes the final trap for sellers before the market shifts upward. A visible rejection or displacement from this zone confirms bullish momentum. Traders usually place entries near this level, stops below the low, and targets at previous highs or the next resistance zone. Combining the setup with demand zones or Fair Value Gaps increases its accuracy.
🟣 Bearish Quasimodo
A bearish Quasimodo forms near the top of an uptrend when buyers begin to lose strength. The market continues to make higher highs until a sudden lower low breaks the bullish structure, showing that selling pressure is entering the market. Price then retraces upward to retest the previous high, forming the Quasimodo high, where breakout buyers are often trapped.
Once rejection appears at this level, it indicates a likely reversal. Traders can enter short near this area, with stop-losses placed above the high and targets near the next support or previous lows. The setup gains more reliability when aligned with supply zones, SMT divergence, or bearish Fair Value Gaps.
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period : You can use this parameter to use your desired period to identify the QM pattern. By default, this parameter is set to the number 5.
Take Profit Mode : You can choose your desired Take Profit in three ways. Based on the logic of the QM strategy, you can select two Take Profit levels, TP1 and TP2. You can also choose your take profit based on the Reward to Risk ratio. You must enter your desired R/R in the Reward to Risk Ratio parameter.
Stop Loss Refine : The loss limit of the QM strategy is based on its logic on the Head pattern. You can refine it using the ATR Refine option to prevent Stop Hunt. You can enter your desired coefficient in the Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient parameter.
Reward to Risk Ratio : If you set Take Profit Mode to R/R, you must enter your desired R/R here. For example, if your loss limit is 10 pips and you set R/R to 2, your take profit will be reached when the price is 20 pips away from your entry point.
Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient : If you set Stop Loss Refine to ATR Refine, you must adjust your loss limit coefficient here. For example, if your buy position's loss limit is at the price of 1000, and your ATR is 10, if you set Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient to 2, your loss limit will be at the price of 980.
Entry Level Validity : Determines how long the Entry level remains valid. The higher the level, the longer the entry level will remain valid. By default it is 2 and it can be set between 2 and 15.
🔵 Results
The following examples show the backtest results of the Quasimodo (QM) strategy in action. Each image is based on specific settings for the symbol, timeframe, and input parameters, illustrating how the QM logic can generate signals under different market conditions. The detailed configuration for each backtest is also displayed on the image.
⚠ Important Note : Even with identical settings and the same symbol, results may vary slightly across different brokers due to data feed variations and pricing differences.
