Adaptive Cortex Strategy (ACS)Strategy Title: Adaptive Cortex Strategy (ACS) This script is invite-only. Part 1: Philosophy and the Fundamental Problem It Solves Adaptive Cortex Strategy (ACS) is an advanced decision support system designed to dynamically adapt to the ever-changing characteristics of the market. A major weakness of traditional approaches is that while successful in a specific market condition (e.g., a strong trend), they become ineffective when the market changes course (e.g., enters a sideways range). ACS solves this problem by continuously analyzing the market's current "regime" and instantly adapting its decision-making logic accordingly. Its primary goal is to enable the strategy itself to "think" and evolve with the market, without requiring the trader to change their strategy. Part 2: Original Methodology and Proprietary Logic A Note on the Original Methodology and Intellectual Property This algorithm is not based on or copied from any open-source strategy code. The system utilizes the mathematical principles of widely accepted indicators such as ADX, RSI, and Ichimoku as data sources for its analyses. However, the intellectual property and unique value of the algorithm lies in its unique and closed-source architecture that processes, prioritizes, and synthesizes data from these standard tools. The methods used in core components, particularly the adaptive 'Cortex' memory system and statistical 'Forecast' engine, represent a unique set of logic developed from scratch for this script. The parameters, order of operations, and conditional logic are entirely custom-designed. Therefore, the system's performance is a result of its unique design, not a repetition of publicly available code. ACS's power lies not in the individual indicators it uses, but in the unique and proprietary logic layers that process the information from these indicators. 1. Multi-Factor Scoring and Adaptive Weighting: The heart of the methodology is a scoring system that analyzes the market in four main categories: Trend, Support/Resistance, Momentum, and Volume. However, what makes ACS unique is that it dynamically changes the importance it assigns to these categories based on the market regime. Unique Application: Using ADX, DMI, and ATR indicators, the system detects whether the market is in different regimes, such as "Strong Trend" or "High Volatility Squeeze." When it detects a strong trend, it automatically increases the weight of the Trend scores from the Ichimoku and proprietary AMF Trend Engine. When it detects sideways or tightness, it shifts its focus to Support/Resistance zones determined by Dynamic Channels and the author's "Cortex" Memory System. A different approach was added here, inspired by the classic Fibonacci estimation. This "adaptive weighting" ensures that the strategy always focuses its attention on the most appropriate area. 2. Statistical Forecast Engine: ACS goes beyond standard indicators and includes a proprietary forecasting algorithm that measures the probability of a potential price movement's success. Unique Implementation: The system stores the results of past tests (successful bounces/breakouts) at key price levels in a "brain" (memory). At the time of a new test, it compares the current RSI momentum, volume anomalies, and market regime with similar past situations. Based on this comparison, it calculates the probability of the current test being successful as a statistical percentage and adds this percentage to the final score as a "bonus" or "penalty." 3. Walk-Forward Architecture: Markets constantly evolve. ACS continues to learn from the latest market dynamics by resetting its memory at regular intervals (e.g., monthly) through its "Re-Learn Mode," rather than being trapped by old data. This is an advanced approach aimed at ensuring the strategy remains current and effective over the long term. Part 3: Practical Features and User Benefits HOW DOES IT HELP INVESTORS? Customizable Trading Profiles: ACS does not come with a single set of settings. Users can instantly adapt all the algorithm's key periods and decision thresholds to their trading style by selecting one of the pre-configured trading profiles, such as "SCALPING," "INTRADAY TREND," or "SWING TRADE." Additionally, they can further fine-tune the selected profile with "Speed ​​Adjustment." Full Automation Compatibility (JSON): The strategy is equipped with fully configurable JSON-formatted alert messages for buy, sell, and position closing transactions. This makes it possible to establish a fully automated trading system by connecting ACS signals to automation platforms such as 3Commas and PineConnector. Dynamic values ​​such as position size ({{strategy.order.contracts}}) are automatically added to alerts. Advanced and Adaptive Risk Management: Protecting capital is as important as making a profit. ACS offers a multi-layered risk management framework for this purpose: Flexible Position Size: Allows you to set the risk for each trade as a percentage of capital or a fixed dollar amount. Adaptive ATR Stop: The stop-loss level is dynamically expanded or contracted based on current market volatility (the ratio of short-term ATR to long-term ATR). Contingency Mechanisms: Includes safety nets such as "Maximum Drawdown Protection" and the "Praetorian Guard" engine, which detects sudden market shocks. Clear and Comprehensible Dashboard: Transforms dozens of complex data points into an intuitive dashboard that provides critical information such as market trends, major trends, support/resistance zones, and final signals at a glance. Section 4: Disclaimers and Rules Transparency Note: This algorithm uses the mathematical foundations of publicly available indicators such as ADX, ATR, RSI, and Ichimoku. However, ACS's intellectual property and unique value lies in its unique architecture, which combines data from these standard tools, prioritizes it by market trend, and synthesizes it with its proprietary "Cortex" and "Statistical Forecast" engines. Educational Use: IMPORTANT WARNING: The Adaptive Cortex Strategy is a professional decision support and analysis tool. It is NOT a system that promises "guaranteed profits." All trading activities involve the risk of capital loss. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All signals and analysis generated by this script are for educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice. Users are solely responsible for applying their own risk management rules and making their final trading decisions. Strategy Backtest Information Please remember that past performance is not indicative of future results.

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

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

Trend Entry_0 [TS_Indie]Trend Entry_0 — Mechanism Overview The core structure of this strategy is based on a price action reversal pattern, as detailed below: In the case of a Bullish Trend Reversal: The price initially moves in a bearish direction. When candle A forms a low lower than the previous low, the high of candle A becomes a key reference point.
If the next candle closes above the high of candle A , it confirms a Bullish Trend Reversal. * Upon a Bullish signal, a Long position is opened at the opening price of the next candle (candle B). * When a subsequent Bearish signal occurs, the Long position is closed at the opening price of the next candle (candle C). In the case of a Bearish Trend Reversal: The price initially moves in a bullish direction. When candle A forms a high higher than the previous high, the low of candle A becomes a key reference point.
If the next candle closes below the low of candle A , it confirms a Bearish Trend Reversal. * Upon a Bearish signal, a Short position is opened at the opening price of the next candle (candle B). * When a subsequent Bullish signal occurs, the Short position is closed at the opening price of the next candle (candle C). Options * The start and end dates of the backtest can be customized. * The swing lines of the trend can be displayed as an optional visual aid. * The user can choose whether to open only Long or Short positions. Backtest Results and Observations Based on the backtesting results of this strategy across various assets and timeframes, it has been observed that this approach works best on trending assets such as Gold, BTC, and stocks.
It also performs well on higher timeframes, starting from the Daily timeframe and above, especially when taking Long positions only. 
 However, when applied to currency pairs such as EUR/USD, the results tend to be less impressive. I encourage everyone to try backtesting and further developing this strategy — adding new conditions or filters may potentially lead to improved performance. Disclaimer This script is intended solely for backtesting purposes, based on a particular price action pattern.
It does not constitute financial or investment advice.
Backtest results do not guarantee future performance.

Asian Session Sweep Reversal This strategy identifies liquidity sweeps of the Asian session range (09:00–15:00 JST) and trades the first confirmed reversal in the opposite direction — but only within the London morning window (08:00–12:00 Europe/Berlin). Core Logic: Marks the Asian session high and low (fixed Tokyo timezone, no DST). After the Asian range ends, the first sweep of either the high or low triggers a watch for a reversal candle. When a bearish candle forms after a high sweep, a Sell Stop is placed below the candle’s wick. When a bullish candle forms after a low sweep, a Buy Stop is placed above the candle’s wick. Orders are valid for 1 bar only; unfilled trades are canceled automatically. Each day allows only one trade, taking the direction of the first sweep (either long or short). The fixed risk/reward ratio is 1:2 (Take Profit = 2× Stop Loss). Features: Automatically detects and visualizes the Asian range. Works consistently year-round (using Tokyo time). Optional box display for the range. Clear signal markers for entries. Designed for clean backtesting with daily trade control.

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

Enhanced MA Crossover Pro📝 Strategy Summary: Enhanced MA Crossover Pro This strategy is an advanced, highly configurable moving average (MA) crossover system designed for algorithmic trading. It uses the crossover of two customizable MAs (a "Fast" MA 1 and a "Slow" MA 2) as its core entry signal, but aggressively integrates multiple technical filters, time controls, and dynamic position management to create a robust and comprehensive trading system. 💡 Core Logic Entry Signal: A bullish crossover (MA1 > MA2) generates a Long signal, and a bearish crossover (MA1 < MA2) generates a Short signal. Users can opt to use MA crossovers from a Higher Timeframe (HTF) for the entry signal. Confirmation/Filters: The basic MA cross signal is filtered by several optional indicators (see Filters section below) to ensure trades align with a broader trend or momentum context. Position Management: Trades are managed with a sophisticated system of Stop Loss, Take Profit, Trailing Stops, and Breakeven stops that can be fixed, ATR-based, or dynamically adjusted. Risk Management: Daily limits are enforced for maximum profit/loss and maximum trades per day. ⚙️ Key Features and Customization 1. Moving Averages Primary MAs (MA1 & MA2): Highly configurable lengths (default 8 & 20) and types: EMA, WMA, SMA, or SMMA/RMA. Higher Timeframe (HTF) MAs: Optional MAs calculated on a user-defined resolution (e.g., "60" for 1-hour) for use as an entry signal or as a trend confirmation filter. 2. Multi-Filter System The entry signal can be filtered by the following optional conditions: SMA Filter: Price must be above a 200-period SMA for long trades, and below it for short trades. VWAP Filter: Price must be above VWAP for long trades, and below it for short trades. RSI Filter: Long trades are blocked if RSI is overbought (default 70); short trades are blocked if RSI is oversold (default 30). MACD Filter: Requires the MACD Line to be above the Signal Line for long trades (and vice versa for short trades). HTF Confirmation: Requires the HTF MA1 to be above HTF MA2 for long entries (and vice versa). 3. Dynamic Stop and Target Management (S/L & T/P) The strategy provides extensive control over exits: Stop Loss Methods: Fixed: Fixed tick amount. ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). Capped ATR: ATR stop limited by a maximum fixed tick amount. Exit on Close Cross MA: Position is closed if the price crosses back over the chosen MA (MA1 or MA2). Breakeven Stop: A stop can be moved to the entry price once a trigger distance (fixed ticks or Adaptive Breakeven based on ATR%) is reached. Trailing Stop: Can be fixed or ATR-based, with an optional feature to auto-tighten the trailing multiplier after the breakeven condition is met. Profit Target: Can be a fixed tick amount or a dynamic target based on an ATR multiplier. 4. Time and Session Control Trading Session: Trades are only taken between defined Start/End Hours and Minutes (e.g., 9:30 to 16:00). Forced Close: All open positions are closed near the end of the session (e.g., 15:45). Trading Days: Allows specific days of the week to be enabled or disabled for trading. 5. Risk and Position Limits Daily Profit/Loss Limits: The strategy tracks daily realized and unrealized PnL in ticks and will close all positions and block new entries if the user-defined maximum profit or maximum loss is hit. Max Trades Per Day: Limits the number of executed trades in a single day. 🎨 Outputs and Alerts Plots: Plots the MA1, MA2, SMA, VWAP, and HTF MAs (if enabled) on the chart. Shapes: Plots visual markers (BUY/SELL labels) on the bar where the MA crossover occurs. Trailing Stop: Plots the dynamic trailing stop level when a position is open. Alerts: Generates JSON-formatted alerts for entry ({"action":"buy", "price":...}) and exit ({"action":"exit", "position":"long", "price":...}).

DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower🐉 DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower Description: The DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower is a simple yet powerful trend-following strategy designed to capture directional moves based on exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers. It automatically detects trend changes and manages positions dynamically. Core Logic: The strategy uses two EMAs — a Fast EMA (default 12) and a Slow EMA (default 21) — to identify the market trend. When the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a long position, signaling bullish momentum. When the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a short position, signaling bearish momentum. The color of the EMAs changes dynamically: green for uptrends, red for downtrends. Exit rules: Longs are closed when the EMAs turn red (trend reversal to bearish). Shorts are closed when the EMAs turn green (trend reversal to bullish). Position Sizing: The system uses 10% of equity per trade by default, allowing flexible risk management and compounding. Purpose: Designed for traders who want a clean and efficient EMA crossover system to follow trends automatically on any timeframe or asset. Best Used For: Swing trading and trend confirmation Identifying major directional shifts Testing EMA-based momentum systems

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

AMF PG Strategy v2.3AMF PG Strategy v2.3 1. Core Philosophy: Filtered and Volatility-Aware Trend Following "AMF PG Strategy" is an advanced trend-following system designed to adapt to the dynamic nature of modern markets. The strategy's core philosophy is not just to follow the trend but also to wait for the right conditions to enter the market. This is not a "black box." It is a rules-based framework that gives the user full control over various market filters. By requiring multiple conditions to be met simultaneously, the strategy aims to filter out low-quality signals and focus only on high-probability trend opportunities. 2. Core Engine: AMF PG Trend Following At the heart of the strategy is a proprietary, volatility-aware trend-following mechanism called AMF PG (Praetorian Guard). This engine operates as follows: Dynamic Bands: Creates a dynamic upper and lower band around the price that is constantly recalculated. The width of these bands is not fixed; It dynamically adjusts based on recent market volatility, volume flow, and price expansion. This adaptive structure allows the strategy to adapt to both calm and high-volatility markets. Entry Signals: A buy signal is triggered when the price rises above the upper band. A sell signal is triggered when the price falls below the lower band. However, these signals are executed only when all the active filters described below give the green light. Trailing Stop-Loss: When a position is entered, the opposite band automatically acts as a trailing stop-loss level. For example, when a buy position is opened, the lower band follows the price as a stop-loss. This allows for profit retention and trend continuation. 3. Multi-Layered Filter System: Understanding the Market The power of this strategy comes from its modular filter system, which allows the user to filter market conditions based on their own analysis. Each filter can be enabled or disabled individually in the settings: Filter 1: Trend Strength (ADX Filter): This filter confirms whether there is a strong trend in the market. It uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) indicator and only allows trades if the ADX value is above a certain threshold. This helps avoid trading in weak or directionless markets. It also confirms the direction of the trend by checking the position of the DMI (+DI and -DI) lines. Filter 2: Sideways Market (Chop Index Filter): This filter determines whether the market is excessively choppy or directionless. Using the Chop Index, this filter aims to protect against fakeouts by blocking trades when the market is highly indecisive. Filter 3: Market Structure (Hurst Exponent Filter): This is one of the strategy's most advanced filters. It analyzes the current market behavior using the Hurst Exponent. This mathematical tool attempts to determine whether a market tends to trend (permanent), tends to revert to the mean (anti-permanent), or moves randomly. This filter ensures that signals are generated only when market structure supports trending trades. 4. Risk Management: Maximum Drawdown Protection This strategy includes a built-in capital protection mechanism. Users can specify the percentage of their capital they will tolerate to decline from its peak. If the strategy's capital reaches this set drawdown limit, the protection feature is activated, closing all open positions and preventing new trades from being opened. This acts as an emergency brake to protect capital against unexpected market conditions. 5. Automation Ready: Customizable Webhook Alerts The strategy is designed for traders who want to automate their signals. From the Settings menu, you can configure custom alert messages in JSON format, compatible with third-party automation services (via Webhooks). 6. Strategy Backtest Information Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results. The published chart and performance report were generated on the 4-hour timeframe of the BTCUSD pair with the following settings: Test Period: January 1, 2016 - October 31, 2025 Default Position Size: 15% of Capital Pyramiding: Closed Commission: 0.0008 Slippage: 2 ticks (Please enter the slippage you used in your own tests) Testing Approach: The published test includes 423 trades and is statistically significant. It is strongly recommended that you test on different assets and timeframes for your own analysis. The default settings are a template and should be adjusted by the user for their own analysis.

Candle Breakout StrategyShort description (one-liner) Candle Breakout Strategy — identifies a user-specified candle (UTC time), draws its high/low range, then enters on breakouts with configurable stop-loss, take-profit (via Risk:Reward) and optional alerts. Full description (ready-to-paste) Candle Breakout Strategy Version 1.0 — Strategy script (Pine v5) Overview The Candle Breakout Strategy automatically captures a single "range candle" at a user-specified UTC time, draws its high/low as a visible box and dashed level lines, and waits for a breakout. When price closes above the range high it enters a Long; when price closes below the range low it enters a Short. Stop-loss is placed at the opposite range boundary and take-profit is calculated with a user-configurable Risk:Reward multiplier. Alerts for entries can be enabled. This strategy is intended for breakout style trading where a clearly defined intraday range is established at a fixed time. It is simple, transparent and easy to adapt to multiple symbols and timeframes. How it works (step-by-step) On every bar the script checks the current UTC time. When the first bar that matches the configured Target Hour:Target Minute (UTC) appears, the script records that candle’s high and low. This defines the breakout range. A box and dashed lines are drawn on the chart to display the range and extended to the right while the range is active. The script then waits for price to close outside the box: Close > Range High → Long entry Close < Range Low → Short entry When an entry triggers: Stop-loss = opposite range boundary (range low for longs, range high for shorts). Take-profit = entry ± (risk × Risk:Reward). Risk is computed as the distance between entry price and stop-loss. After entry the range becomes inactive (waitingForBreakout = false) until the next configured target time. Inputs / Parameters Target Hour (UTC) — the hour (0–23) in UTC when the range candle is detected. Target Minute — minute (0–59) of the target candle. Risk:Reward Ratio — multiplier for computing take profit from risk (0.5–10). Example: 2 means TP = entry + 2×risk. Enable Alerts — turn on/off entry alerts (string message sent once per bar when an entry occurs). Show Last Box Only (internal behavior) — when enabled the previous box is deleted at the next range creation so only the most recent range is visible (default behavior in the script). Visuals & On-chart Info A semi-transparent blue box shows the recorded range and extends to the right while active. Dashed horizontal lines mark the range high and low. On-chart shapes: green triangle below bar for Long signals, red triangle above bar for Short signals. An information table (top-right) displays: Target Time (UTC) Active Range (Yes / No) Range High Range Low Risk:Reward Alerts If Enable Alerts is on, the script sends an alert with the following formats when an entry occurs: Long alert: 🟢 LONG SIGNAL Entry Price: Stop Loss: Take Profit: Short alert: 🔴 SHORT SIGNAL Entry Price: Stop Loss: Take Profit: Use TradingView's alert dialog to create alerts based on the script — select the script’s alert condition or use the alert() messages. Recommended usage & tips Timeframe: This strategy works on any timeframe but the definition of "candle at target time" depends on the chart timeframe. For intraday breakout styles, use 1m — 60m charts depending on the session you want to capture. Target Time: Choose a time that is meaningful for the instrument (e.g., market open, economic release, session overlap). All times are handled in UTC. Position Sizing: The script’s example uses strategy.percent_of_equity with 100% default — change default_qty_value or strategy settings to suit your risk management. Filtering: Consider combining this breakout with trend filters (EMA, ADX, etc.) to reduce false breakouts. Backtesting: Always backtest over a sufficiently large and recent sample. Pay attention to slippage and commission settings in TradingView’s strategy tester. Known behavior & limitations The script registers the breakout on close outside the recorded range. If you prefer intrabar breakout rules (e.g., high/low breach without close), you must adjust the condition accordingly. The recorded range is taken from a single candle at the exact configured UTC time. If there are missing bars or the chart timeframe doesn't align, the intended candle may differ — choose the target time and chart timeframe consistently. Only a single active position is allowed at a time (the script checks strategy.position_size == 0 before entries). Example setups EURUSD (Forex): Target Time 07:00 UTC — captures London open range. Nifty / Index: Target Time 09:15 UTC — captures local session open range. Crypto: Target Time 00:00 UTC — captures daily reset candle for breakout. Risk disclaimer This script is educational and provided as-is. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use proper risk management, test on historical data, and consider slippage and commissions. Do not trade real capital without sufficient testing. Change log v1.0 — Initial release: range capture, box and level drawing, long/short entry by close breakout, SL at opposite boundary, TP via Risk:Reward, alerts, info table. If you want, I can also: Provide a short README version (2–3 lines) for the TradingView “Short description” field. Add a couple of suggested alert templates for the TradingView alert dialog (if you want alerts that include variable placeholders). Convert the disclaimer into multiple language versions.
