Volume Range EventsChanges in the feelings (positive, negative, neutral) in the market concerning the valuation of an instrument are often preceded with sudden outbursts of buying and selling frenzies. The aim of this indicator is to report such outbursts. We can see them as expansions of volume, sometimes 10 times more than usual. and as extensions of the trading range, also sometimes 10 times more than usual (e.g. usual range is 10 cent suddenly a whole dollar.) The changes are calculated in such a way that these fit between plus and minus 100 percent, the bars are scaled in some sort of logarithmic way. The Emoline is the same as the one in the True Balance of Power indicator, which I already published
ONLY RISES ARE EVENTS
Sometimes analysts are tempted to give meaning to low volume or small ranges. These simply mean that the market has little interest in trading this instrument. I believe that in such cases the trader needs to wait for expansion and extension events to happen, then he can make a better guess of where the market is heading. As events often mark the beginning or ending of a trend, this indicator provides an early and clear signal, because it doesn’t bother us about non-events.
WHAT IS USUAL?
If the algorithm would use an average as a normal to scale volume or range events, then previous peaks will act as spoilers by making the average so high that a following peak is scaled too small. I developed a function, usual() , that kicks out all extremes of a ‘population of values’ and which returns the average of the non-extreme values. It can be called with any serial. This function is called by both algorithms that report volume and range peaks, which guarantees that the results are really comparable. As this function has a fixed look back of 8 periods, we might state that ‘usual’ is a short lived relative value. I think this doesn’t matter for the practical use of the indicator.
COLORING AND INTERPRETATION
I follow the categories in the ‘Better Volume Indicator’, published by LeazyBear, these are:
1. Climactic Volumes, event >40 % (this means peak is 1.5 X usual)
LIME: Climax Buying Volume, direction up, range event also > 30 %
RED: Climax Selling Volume, direction down, range event also > 30 %
AQUA: Climax Churning Volume, both directions, range event < 30%
2. Smaller Volumes, event <40 %
GREEN: Supportive Volume, both directions, if combined with range event
BLUE: Churning Volume, both directions, if not combined with range event (Professional Trading)
3. Just Range Events

Objective Doji Highlight (Range-Relative)This indicator highlights Doji candles using an objective, mathematics-based rule: a bar is Doji when the absolute difference between its open and close is less than or equal to a user-defined fraction (x) of that bar’s high–low range.
How it works:
Compute body size as the absolute difference between open and close.
Compute the bar’s range as high minus low.
Classify as Doji when body size ≤ x × range.
Only Doji candles are colored; non-Doji bars remain unchanged.
Inputs
Doji threshold (x of range): tolerance (0–1) controlling how small the body must be relative to the range.
Doji Candle Color: visual color for detected Doji candles.
Example:
If x = 0.10 and a candle has high = 100 and low = 90 (range = 10), the maximum allowed body is 1.
If the difference between open and close is ≤ 1, the candle is marked as Doji.
Why it can be useful
Doji candles are often studied as signs of market indecision. This tool provides a clear, parameter-based way to identify them consistently across any timeframe, without discretionary interpretation.
Notes & limitations
Works with standard candlesticks (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other synthetic bar types).
Visualization and research only: it does not produce buy/sell signals and makes no performance claims.
No repainting from future data; the logic uses only the current bar’s prices.
Opening Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB) – Trading Strategy Documentation
Definition:
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a short-term trading strategy that identifies the price range established during the initial period of market opening (typically the first 15 to 60 minutes) and uses the high and low of that range as key reference levels for potential breakout entries.
Components:
Open Range High: The highest price traded during the defined opening period.
Open Range Low: The lowest price traded during the same period.
Breakout Trigger: A price move above the Open Range High or below the Open Range Low, signaling potential continuation momentum.
How It Works:
Define the Opening Period: Select a time window (e.g., 30 minutes) at market open to establish the initial range.
Identify Range Boundaries: Record the high and low prices during this period.
Monitor for Breakout: Watch for price to break and close above the Open Range High (bullish breakout) or below the Open Range Low (bearish breakout).
Enter Trade: Enter long on a confirmed break above the Open Range High, or short on a break below the Open Range Low. Entry may be triggered on a retest of the broken level or with volume confirmation.
Set Stop-Loss and Target:
Stop-loss: Placed just inside the open range (e.g., below the high for long, above the low for short).
Profit target: Based on volatility (e.g., ATR multiple) or support/resistance levels.
Key Assumptions:
Early price action reflects initial market sentiment.
A breakout from this range indicates strong directional momentum likely to continue.
Best Conditions:
High liquidity markets (e.g., major indices, large-cap stocks).
Volatile or news-driven trading sessions.
Used primarily in intraday trading.
Limitations:
Prone to false breakouts during low-volume or choppy markets.
Requires strict risk management due to reliance on timing and confirmation.
Conclusion:
The ORB strategy capitalizes on early market momentum by trading breakouts from the initial price range. Its effectiveness depends on precise range definition, timely execution, and disciplined risk control.
Open Range Breakout Strategy With Multi TakeProfitHello everyone,
For a while, I’ve been wanting to develop new scripts, but I couldn’t decide what to create. Eventually, I came up with the idea of coding traditional and well-known trading strategies—while adding modern features such as multi–take profit options. For the first strategy in this series, I chose the Open Range Strategy .
For those unfamiliar with it, the Open Range Strategy is a trading approach where you define a specific time period at the beginning of a trading session—such as the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour—and mark the highest and lowest prices within that range. These levels then act as reference points for potential breakouts: if the price breaks above the range, it may signal a long entry; if it breaks below, it may indicate a short entry. This method is popular among day traders for capturing early momentum in the market.
Since this strategy is generally used as an intraday strategy , I added a Trade Session feature. This allows you to define the exact time window during which trades can be opened. Once the session ends, all positions are automatically closed, ensuring trades remain within your chosen intraday period.
Even though it’s a relatively simple concept, I’ve come across many different variations of it. That’s why I created a highly customizable project. Under the Session Settings, you can select the time window you want to define as your range. Whether it’s the first 15-minute candle or the entire first hour, the choice is entirely yours.
For stop-loss placement, there are two different options:
Middle of the Range – The stop loss is placed at the midpoint between the high and low of the defined range, offering a balanced buffer for both bullish and bearish setups.
Top/Bottom of the Range – The stop loss is placed just beyond the range’s high for short trades or just below the range’s low for long trades, providing a more conservative risk approach.
I’ve always been a big fan of the multi take-profit feature, so I added two different take-profit targets to this project. Take profits are calculated based on a Risk-to-Reward Ratio, which you can adjust in the settings. You can also set different position sizes for each target, allowing you to scale out of trades in a way that suits your strategy.
The result is a flexible, user-friendly strategy script that brings together a classic approach with modern risk management tools—ready to be tailored to your trading style
NFP RangesPlots the NFP daily ranges for NFP days. Includes extended hours ranges when the time frame is sub 1D, otherwise, only the daily range is taken.
NFP Dates are pre-populated through 2029 and historically through 2022. Will update script to include farther-out dates before they become necessary.
Euclidean Range [InvestorUnknown]The Euclidean Range indicator visualizes price deviation from a moving average using a geometric concept Euclidean distance. It helps traders identify trend strength, volatility shifts, and potential overextensions in price behavior.
Euclidean Distance
Euclidean distance is a fundamental concept in geometry and machine learning. It measures the "straight-line distance" between two points in space. In time series analysis, it can be used to measure how far one sequence deviates from another over a fixed window.
euclidean_distance(src, ref, len) =>
var float sum_sq_diff = na
sum_sq_diff := 0.0
for i = 0 to len - 1
diff = src - ref
sum_sq_diff += diff * diff
math.sqrt(sum_sq_diff)
In this script, we calculate the Euclidean distance between the price (source) and a smoothed average (reference) over a user-defined window. This gives us a single scalar that reflects the overall divergence between price and trend.
How It Works
Moving Average Calculation: You can choose between SMA, EMA, or HMA as your reference line. This becomes the "baseline" against which the actual price is compared.
Distance Band Construction: The Euclidean distance between the price and the reference is calculated over the Window Length. This value is then added to and subtracted from the average to form dynamic upper and lower bands, visually framing the range of deviation.
Distance Ratios and Z-Scores: Two distance ratios are computed: dist_r = distance / price (sensitivity to volatility); dist_v = price / distance (sensitivity to compression or low-volatility states)
Both ratios are normalized using a Z-score to standardize their behavior and allow for easier interpretation across different assets and timeframes.
Z-Score Plots: Z_r (white line) highlights instances of high volatility or strong price deviation; Z_v (red line) highlights low volatility or compressed price ranges.
Background Highlighting (Optional): When Z_v is dominant and increasing, the background is colored using a gradient. This signals a possible build-up in low volatility, which may precede a breakout.
Use Cases
Detect volatile expansions and calm compression zones.
Identify mean reversion setups when price returns to the average.
Anticipate breakout conditions by observing rising Z_v values.
Use dynamic distance bands as adaptive support/resistance zones.
Notes
The indicator is best used with liquid assets and medium-to-long windows.
Background coloring helps visually filter for squeeze setups.

Opening Range Retest█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the opening range as a box. It also draws markers and triggers alerts when the opening range is retested. The opening range time is configurable, as is the period of time that must elapse before each return to the opening range is considered a retest.
█ FEATURES
Opening range time configurable in bars or minutes
Configurable "resting" period between the end of the opening range or since the last retest before a new retest is considered valid
Configurable tolerance so that a retest can trigger sooner
Active time range can be used to filter alerts and markers to a specific time window
Visual box showing the opening range, which can be optionally limited to the above-mentioned active time window
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used for an opening range retest trading strategy, where long or short positions are taken on the retest of the opening range.
The opening range can be user-configured, so it is suitable for use with any opening range time period (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, etc.).
The markers and alerts are equivalent, in the sense that whenever a marker appears, an alert will also trigger (assuming the user has set an alert up).
The alert active time range is simply used as a filter for markers and alerts, meaning that these will not draw or trigger outside of the specified time range.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is intended for equities that have a highly active regular market open. For other security types, it will draw the opening range box from whenever TradingView specifies the market open time.
Gold ORB Strategy (15-min Range, 5-min Entry)The Gold ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Strategy is designed for day traders looking to capitalize on the price action in the early part of the trading day, specifically using a 15-minute range for identifying the opening range and a 5-minute timeframe for breakout entries. The strategy trades the Gold market (XAU/USD) during the New York session.
Opening Range: The strategy defines the Opening Range (ORB) between 9:30 AM EST and 9:45 AM EST using the highest and lowest points during this 15-minute window.
Breakout Entries: The strategy enters trades when the price breaks above the ORB high for a long position or below the ORB low for a short position. It waits for a 5-minute candle close outside the range before entering a trade.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The stop loss is placed at 50% of the ORB range, and the take profit is set at twice the ORB range (1:2 risk-reward ratio).
Time Window: The strategy only executes trades before 12:00 PM EST, avoiding late-day market fluctuations and consolidations.
True Range & ATRDescription : This indicator plots both the True Range (TR) and the Average True Range (ATR) in a separate pane below the main chart.
- TR represents the absolute price movement range within each candle.
- ATR is a smoothed version of TR over a user-defined period (default: 14), providing insight into market volatility.
- TR is displayed as a histogram for a clearer view of individual candle ranges.
- ATR is plotted as a line to show the smoothed trend of volatility.
This indicator helps traders assess market volatility and potential price movements.
Session High/Low Average & Range [1CG]The Session High/Low Average & Range indicator independently measures the average price movement from the opening price in each direction. It also displays the maximum high and low distance, called Range. Separating the averages and range into highs and lows helps analyze the volatility of the market as well as the direction.
USE EXAMPLES
Session Open
Session Close
Customization
Minimal - 1x and 2x Averages are replaced with custom lines, in order to show distance to3x.
Calculations
Average High: (high price of session - session opening price) / (session period)
Average Low: (session opening price - low price of session) / (session period)
Range High: The highest price of the last (session period)
Range Low: The lowest price of the last (session period)
INPUTS
Session
Here you can choose the hours for your session and time zone. The default is London session in New York time. Next, the session period determines how many sessions to sample from for the average and range lines, the default is 20. Lastly, you can choose the number of sessions to appear on the chart not including the current session if you are in one, 5 by default.
Lines
All of the lines allow you to change the color, width, and style. They also have a label option to choose to display the price. The bottom of the section allows you to change the location and size of the label text.
**Open Line** -Displays the opening price for the length of the session.
**Average Lines** - Displays the 1x, 2x, and 3x the average distance from open in each direction. Additionally, you can toggle a background color to highlight the area.
**Custom Lines** - Displays a customizable multiple of either the average or range. By default the first custom line displays the Range at a 1x multiplier and the second line displays an Average at a 1.5x multiplier
Display Distance
Here you can choose to display the distance from the lines to the open. This data is marked with a “Δ”. For the three Average lines this will display in the area between the line and the open in the position and size of your choice. The custom lines will have the distance information displayed on the line itself. This helps keep the data organized.
Real-Time Custom Candle Range Color Indicator
The script allows the user to input a custom range value (default set to 100 points) through the userDefinedRange variable. This value determines the minimum range required for a candle to change color.
Calculating Candle Range:
The script calculates the range of each candle by subtracting the low from the high price.
Determining Bullish or Bearish Candles:
It checks whether the close price is higher than the open price to determine if a candle is bullish (isBullish variable).
Coloring Candles:
Based on the custom range input, the script changes the color of the candles:
If the candle's range is greater than or equal to the custom range and it is bullish, the candle color is set to blue (bullishColor).
If the range condition is met and the candle is bearish, the color is set to orange (bearishColor).
If the range condition is not met, the color is set to na (not applicable).
Plotting Colored Candles:
The plotcandle function is used to plot candles with colors based on the custom range and bullish/bearish conditions. The candles will have a higher z-order to be displayed in front of default candles.
Displaying High and Low Price Points:
Triangular shapes are plotted at the high and low price levels using the plotshape function, with colors representing bullish (blue) and bearish (orange) conditions.
In trading, this indicator can help traders visually identify candles that meet a specific range criteria, potentially signaling strength or weakness in price movements. By customizing the range parameter, traders can adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading strategies. It can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions based on candlestick patterns and price movements.
Custom Time Range HighlighterCustom Time Range Highlighter
This versatile indicator allows traders to highlight specific time ranges on their charts, accommodating users worldwide by supporting customizable UTC offsets. Traders can define two distinct time ranges, setting start and end hours in their local time zone.
A toggle option enables the display of highlights for today only , ensuring focus on current trading conditions.
Ideal for day traders and those following specific market sessions, this tool enhances visibility of active trading periods and aids in effective trade management.
Average True Range with Price MAATR with Price Moving Average Indicator
This custom indicator combines the Average True Range (ATR) with a Price Moving Average (MA) to help traders analyze market volatility in percent to the price.
Key Components:
Average True Range (ATR)
Price Moving Average (MA)
ATR/Price in Percent
ATR/Price in Percent
Purpose: This ratio helps traders understand the relative size of the ATR compared to the current price, providing a clearer sense of how significant the volatility is in proportion to the price level.
Calculation: ATR is divided by the current closing price and multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage. This makes it easier to compare volatility across assets with different price ranges.
Plot: This is plotted as a percentage, making it easier to gauge whether the volatility is proportionally high or low compared to the asset's price.
Usage:
This indicator is designed to help identify the most volatile tokens, making it ideal for configuring a Grid Bot to maximize profit. By focusing on high-volatility assets, traders can capitalize on larger price swings within the grid, increasing the potential for more profitable trades.
Features:
Customizable Smoothing Method: Choose from RMA (Relative Moving Average), SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), or WMA (Weighted Moving Average) for both ATR and the Price Moving Average.
Dual Perspective: The indicator provides both volatility analysis (ATR) and trend analysis (Price MA) in a single view.
Proportional Volatility: The ATR/Price (%) ratio adds a layer of context by showing how volatile the asset is relative to its current price.

Sentiment Range MA [ChartPrime]The "Sentiment Range MA" provides traders with a dynamic perspective on market activity, emphasizing both stability in chop zones and quick adaptability outside of them.
Key Features:
Chop Zone Stability: In choppy markets, this indicator remains consistent, filtering out the noise to provide a clear view.
Quick Adaptability: Should the price break out of these zones, the indicator recalibrates promptly.
Dynamic Support and Resistance: Adapts based on the latest price action, serving as an evolving reference point.
Emphasis on Recent Levels: The tool factors in the latest notable market levels to stay relevant and timely.
Configurations:
Data Source: Choose your desired metric, though many default to the closing price.
Output Smoothing: Adjust the SR MA's response to market movements.
Trigger Smoothing: Refine boundary definitions based on your market insights.
ATR Period: Set the period for the ATR, influencing the surrounding boundary's width.
Range Multiplier: Control the ATR's effect on the range.
Range Switch: Flip between high-low and open-close values for range determination.
Visuals
Sentiment Range MA Line:
- This is the flowing line that transitions between green and red.
- When it's green, it indicates bullish momentum in the market. This suggests a prevailing upward trend and can be an entry cue for traders who trade with the trend.
- When it turns red, bearish sentiments dominate. It indicates the potential beginning of a downtrend or a continued downtrend. Traders might interpret this as a signal to be cautious, to short the market, or to exit long positions.
The Chop Zone:
- This is the space between the price candles and the Sentiment Range MA line. It represents a region where the price is considered to be moving sideways or without a clear direction. Price movements within the chop zone might not be substantial enough to warrant a trading decision. Only when the price breaks out of this zone do we see the Sentiment Range MA line change color, signaling a potential trading opportunity.
By interpreting these visuals, traders can make more informed decisions based on the prevailing market sentiment and trend. The chart becomes a tool, providing both an overview of the market condition and potential entry or exit points based on the Sentiment Range MA indicator's readings.
Detailed Settings Overview
Understanding the settings of the Sentiment Range MA Indicator can greatly enhance its utility in your trading strategy. Let's dive deeper into each:
Output Smoothing:
Purpose: It refines the SR MA to provide a clearer trend perspective.
Functionality:
- At `0`, it ensures the indicator responds immediately to price deviations from the chop zone.
- At higher values, it transforms the indicator into a volatility-adjusted moving average.
Filtering Modes:
- Single Filtering: Prioritizes speed.
- Double Filtering: Emphasizes stability.
Trigger Smoothing:
Purpose: Used for the range break detection.
Functionality: It dampens the indicator's sensitivity to sudden market volatility, preventing unnecessary triggers.
ATR Length:
Purpose: Governs the retrospective period for the chop zone.
Functionality:
- Higher values offer a more consistent and broad range size, capturing more historical data.
- Lower values allow for a more adaptive and responsive range.
Range Multiplier:
Purpose: Modifies the breadth of the range around the SR MA.
Functionality: Increasing the multiplier will extend the range, giving more leeway before triggering, while decreasing it will narrow the range, making the indicator more responsive to price changes.
Range Style:
Purpose: Decides which candlestick data is factored into the true range calculations.
Options:
- Body: Uses the open and close values.
- Wick: Accounts for the high and low values.
Functionality: Switching between styles lets you prioritize either the overall volatility (Wick) or just the concluded price action for a period (Body).
By fine-tuning these settings, traders can tailor the Sentiment Range MA Indicator to various market conditions and personal trading styles, ensuring optimal decision-making.
Quick Start
Based on the provided chart, here's a brief explanation of the default settings for the Sentiment Range MA Indicator:
Length: Set at ` 20 `.
- This determines the base moving average period. A standard setting, it calculates the average price over the last 20 periods, providing traders with a clear perspective of short-term trends.
ATR Length: Set at ` 200 `.
- This adjusts the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR), which in turn influences the chop zone calculation. At a setting of 200, it offers a comprehensive view, considering a longer stretch of historical data.
Range Multiplier: Set at ` 6 `.
- This multiplies the ATR value, widening or narrowing the band around the SR MA. A setting of 6 means the range around the SR MA is determined by multiplying the ATR by 6, offering a broader fluctuation zone.
On the chart, the green line represents the bullish sentiment and the red represents the bearish sentiment. Price movements above and below these lines can be used as potential buy or sell signals respectively. Fine-tuning these settings can cater the Sentiment Range MA Indicator to your specific trading strategy and market condition preferences.
Alternative Settings
For traders looking to adapt to faster market conditions or prefer a more agile analysis, here's a brief description of the alternative settings for the Sentiment Range MA Indicator:
Length: Set at ` 3 `.
- This highly responsive setting calculates the average price over the last 3 periods. Ideal for quick market movements, it offers traders insights into very short-term price trends and potentially swift trade opportunities.
ATR Length: Set at ` 50 `.
- This shorter lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) focuses on more recent market volatility, providing a tighter and more current chop zone calculation. It's suitable for those wanting to respond to recent market shifts.
Range Multiplier: Set at ` 4 `.
- Multiplying the ATR by 4 narrows down the buffer around the SR MA. This creates a tighter sentiment range, possibly resulting in more frequent crossovers and trading signals.
In the provided chart, the green line still denotes bullish momentum while the red symbolizes bearish sentiment. These alternative settings might generate more frequent signals, so traders should ensure their strategy is aligned with this heightened sensitivity.
Wrapping Up
The Sentiment Range MA melds stability and agility, making it a valuable tool in your trading toolkit. As always, before integrating new indicators, take the time to understand its nuances and potential impacts on your strategy.
Long-Only Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with Pivot PointsIntraday Trading Strategy: Long-Only Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with Pivot Points
Background:
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is a popular long-only trading strategy that capitalizes on the early morning volatility in financial markets. It's based on the idea that the initial price movements during the first few minutes or hours of the trading day can set the tone for the rest of the session. The strategy involves identifying a price range within which the asset trades during the opening period and then taking long positions when the price breaks out to the upside of this range.
Pivot Points are a widely used technical indicator in trading. They represent potential support and resistance levels based on the previous day's price action. Pivot points are calculated using the previous day's high, low, and close prices and can help traders identify key price levels for making trading decisions.
How to Use the Script:
Initialization: This script is written in Pine Script, a domain-specific language for trading strategies on the TradingView platform. To use this script, you need to have access to TradingView.
Apply the Script: You can do this by adding it to your favorites, then selecting the script in the indicators list under favorites or by searching for it by name under community scripts.
Customize Settings: The script allows you to customize various settings through the TradingView interface. These settings include:
Opening Session: You can set the time frame for the opening session.
Max Trades per Day: Specify the maximum number of long trades allowed per trading day.
Initial Stop Loss Type: Choose between using a percentage-based stop loss or the previous candles low for stop loss calculations.
Stop Loss Percentage: If you select the percentage-based stop loss, specify the percentage of the entry price for the stop loss.
Backtesting Start and End Time: Set the time frame for backtesting the strategy.
Strategy Signals:
The script will display pivot points in blue (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5) and half-pivot points in gray (R0.5, R1.5, R2.5, R3.5, R4.5) on your chart.
The green line represents the opening range.
The script generates long (buy) signals based on specific conditions:
---The open price is below the opening range high (h).
---The current high price is above the opening range high.
---Pivot point R1 is above the opening range high.
---It's a long-only strategy designed to capture upside breakouts.
---It also respects the maximum number of long trades per day.
The script manages long positions, calculates stop losses, and adjusts long positions according to the defined rules.
Trailing Stop Mechanism
The script incorporates a dynamic trailing stop mechanism designed to protect and maximize profits for long positions. Here's how it works:
1. Initialization:
The script allows you to choose between two types of initial stop loss:
---Percentage-based: This option sets the initial stop loss as a percentage of the entry price.
---Previous day's low: This option sets the initial stop loss at the previous day's low.
2. Setting the Initial Stop Loss (`sl_long0`):
The initial stop loss (`sl_long0`) is calculated based on the chosen method:
---If "Percentage" is selected, it calculates the stop loss as a percentage of the entry price.
---If "Previous Low" is selected, it sets the stop loss at the previous day's low.
3. Dynamic Trailing Stop (`trail_long`):
The script then monitors price movements and uses a dynamic trailing stop mechanism (`trail_long`) to adjust the stop loss level for long positions.
If the current high price rises above certain pivot point levels, the trailing stop is adjusted upwards to lock in profits.
The trailing stop levels are calculated based on pivot points (`r1`, `r2`, `r3`, etc.) and half-pivot points (`r0.5`, `r1.5`, `r2.5`, etc.).
The script checks if the high price surpasses these levels and, if so, updates the trailing stop accordingly.
This dynamic trailing stop allows traders to secure profits while giving the position room to potentially capture additional gains.
4. Final Stop Loss (`sl_long`):
The script calculates the final stop loss level (`sl_long`) based on the following logic:
---If no position is open (`pos == 0`), the stop loss is set to zero, indicating there is no active stop loss.
---If a position is open (`pos == 1`), the script calculates the maximum of the initial stop loss (`sl_long0`) and the dynamic trailing stop (`trail_long`).
---This ensures that the stop loss is always set to the more conservative of the two values to protect profits.
5. Plotting the Stop Loss:
The script plots the stop loss level on the chart using the `plot` function.
It will only display the stop loss level if there is an open position (`pos == 1`) and it's not a new trading day (`not newday`).
The stop loss level is shown in red on the chart.
By combining an initial stop loss with a dynamic trailing stop based on pivot points and half-pivot points, the script aims to provide a comprehensive risk management mechanism for long positions. This allows traders to lock in profits as the price moves in their favor while maintaining a safeguard against adverse price movements.
End of Day (EOD) Exit:
The script includes an "End of Day" (EOD) exit mechanism to automatically close any open positions at the end of the trading day. This feature is designed to manage and control positions when the trading day comes to a close. Here's how it works:
1. Initialization:
At the beginning of each trading day, the script identifies a new trading day using the `is_newbar('D')` condition.
When a new trading day begins, the `newday` variable becomes `true`, indicating the start of a new trading session.
2. Plotting the "End of Day" Signal:
The script includes a plot on the chart to visually represent the "End of Day" signal. This is done using the `plot` function.
The plot is labeled "DayEnd" and is displayed as a comment on the chart. It signifies the EOD point.
3. EOD Exit Condition:
When the script detects that a new trading day has started (`newday == true`), it triggers the EOD exit condition.
At this point, the script proceeds to close all open positions that may have been active during the trading day.
4. Closing Open Positions:
The `strategy.close_all` function is used to close all open positions when the EOD exit condition is met.
This function ensures that any remaining long positions are exited, regardless of their current profit or loss.
The function also includes an `alert_message`, which can be customized to send an alert or notification when positions are closed at EOD.
Purpose of EOD Exit
The "End of Day" exit mechanism serves several essential purposes in the trading strategy:
Risk Management: It helps manage risk by ensuring that positions are not left open overnight when markets can experience increased volatility.
Capital Preservation: Closing positions at EOD can help preserve trading capital by avoiding potential adverse overnight price movements.
Rule-Based Exit: The EOD exit is rule-based and automatic, ensuring that it is consistently applied without emotions or manual intervention.
Scalability: It allows the strategy to be applied to various markets and timeframes where EOD exits may be appropriate.
By incorporating an EOD exit mechanism, the script provides a comprehensive approach to managing positions, taking profits, and minimizing risk as each trading day concludes. This can be especially important in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies, where overnight price swings can be significant.
Backtesting: The script includes a backtesting feature that allows you to test the strategy's performance over historical data. Set the start and end times for backtesting to see how the long-only strategy would have performed in the past.
Trade Execution: If you choose to use this script for live trading, make sure you understand the risks involved. It's essential to set up proper risk management, including position sizing and stop loss orders.
Monitoring: Monitor the long-only strategy's performance over time and be prepared to make adjustments as market conditions change.
Disclaimer: Trading carries a risk of capital loss. This script is provided for educational purposes and as a starting point for your own long-only strategy development. Always do your own research and consider seeking advice from a qualified financial professional before making trading decisions.
Simple Grid Lines VisualizerAbout Grid Bots
A grid bot is a type of trading bot or algorithm that is designed to automatically execute trades within a predefined price range or grid. It is commonly used in markets that exhibit ranging or sideways movement, where prices tend to fluctuate within a specific range without a clear trend.
The grid bot strategy involves placing a series of buy and sell orders at regular intervals within the predefined price range or grid. The bot essentially creates a grid of orders, hence the name. When the price reaches one of these levels, the bot will execute the corresponding trade. For example, if the price reaches a predefined lower level, the bot will buy, and if it reaches a predefined upper level, it will sell.
The purpose of the grid bot strategy is to take advantage of the price oscillations within the range. As the price moves up and down, the bot aims to generate profits by buying at the lower end of the range and selling at the higher end. By repeatedly buying and selling at these predetermined levels, the bot attempts to capture gains from the price fluctuations.
About this Script
Simple Grid Lines Visualizer is designed to assist traders in visualizing and implementing automated price grids on their charts. With just a few inputs, this script generates gridlines based on your specified top price, bottom price, and the number of grids or profit per grid.
How it Works:
Specify Top and Bottom Prices: Start by setting the top and bottom prices that define the range within which the gridlines will be generated. These prices can be based on support and resistance levels, historical data, or any other factors you consider relevant to your analysis.
Determine Grid Parameters: Choose either the number of grids or profit per grid, depending on your preference and trading strategy. If you select the number of grids, the script will evenly distribute the gridlines within the specified price range. Alternatively, if you opt for profit per grid, the script will calculate the price increment required to achieve your desired profit level per grid.
Note that when choosing Profit per Grid , an approximation usually is performed, as all grid lines must be evenly distributed. To achieve that, the script computes the grid distance using the mean price between top and bottom, then computes how many of those complete distances may enter the entire range, and lastly, creates a grid with evenly distributed distances as close as possible to the previously computed.
Customize Styling and Display: Adjust the line color, line style, transparency, and other visual aspects to ensure clear visibility on your charts.
Analyze and Trade: Once the gridlines are plotted on your chart, carefully observe how the market interacts with them. The gridlines can act as reference points for potential support and resistance levels, as well as simple buy/sell orders for a trading bot.
Try to find gridlines that intersect prices as frequently as possible from one to another.
A grid with too many lines will make lots of potential trades, but the amount traded will be minimal (as the total amount invested is divided over the number of grids).
A grid with too few lines will make lots of profits with each trade, but the trades will be less likely to occur (depending on the top/bottom distance).
This tool aims to help visually which grid parameters seem to optimize this problem.
Future versions may include automatic profit computation.
AUTOMATIC GRID BOT STRATEGY [ilovealgotrading]
OVERVIEW:
This Grid trading strategy can help you maximize your profit in a ranging sideways market with no clear direction.
INDICATOR:
We can get some money by taking advantage of the movement of the price between the range we have determined.
Short positions are opened while the price is rising, long positions are opened while the price is falling.
Therefore, there is no need to predict the trend direction.
What is different in this indicator:
I want to say thank you to © thequantscience. His GRID SPOT TRADING ALGORITHM - GRID BOT TRADING strategy helped me when I was writing my indicator.
I want to explain what I have improved:
1- Grid strategy is a type of strategy that can be traded in very short time frames and users can trade this strategy algorithmically by connecting this strategy to their own accounts with the help of API systems. For this reason, I have developed a software that can give us signals by dynamically changing the long and short messages when users are trading.
2- We can change the start and end dates of our grid bot as we want. It is necessary to use this setting when setting up automatic bots, so that previously opened transactions are not taken into account.
3 - Lot or quantity size should not be excessively small when users are taking automatic trades because exchanges have limitations, to avoid this problem, I have prevented this error by automatically rounding up to the nearest quantity size inside the software.
4 - Users can avoid excessive losses by using stop loss on this grid bot if they wish.
5 - When our price is over the range high or below the range low, our open positions are closed, if the stop button is active. We can also change which close price time frame we take as a basis from the settings.
6 -Users can set how many dollars they can enter per transaction while performing their transactions automatically.
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS – SETTINGS:
This script allows the user to choose the highs and lows leves of our range. Our bot trades in the specified range.
1. This strategy allows us to set start and end backtest dates.
2. We can change range high and range low leves of our bot
3. IF people want to trade algorithmically with the help of this bot, there are 6 different input systems that will receive the Json codes as an alarm
4. IF the price closes above the upper line or below the lower line, all transactions will be closed. We can determine in which time frame our transactions will be stopped if the price closes outside these levels.We can adjust how our bot works by activating or turning off the Stop Loss button.
5. In this strategy, you can determine your dollar cost for per position.
6. The user can also divide the interval we have determined into 10 parts or 20 equal parts.
7. The grid is divided and colored at the interval we set. At the same time, if we don't want we can turn off colored channels.
Notes:
If you're going to connect this bot to an automatic Long and Short direction,
Don’t forget! you need to Webhook URL,
Don’t miss paste this code to your message window {{strategy.order.alert_message}}
ALSO:
Set your range below the support zones and above the resistance zones.
Don't be afraid to take a wide range, it doesn't matter if you make a little money, the important thing is that you don't lose money.

TradeEasy - KintroThe TradingView script provided is a custom indicator named "TradeEasy - Kintro". It is created by the author Kintro and is designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. The indicator is based on the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and uses two different EMAs, one with a period of 20 and the other with a period of 50.
The indicator is meant to be used on the 5-minute timeframe and it is recommended to use TradingView in Dark Mode for better appearance. The author also reminds users that no strategy works 100% accurately and backtesting should be done before trading with a real account. The author is not responsible for any losses incurred by traders.
The indicator uses a simple set of rules to generate trading signals. The thick line on the chart represents the 50 EMA while the thin line represents the 20 EMA. When the thin line crosses upwards over the thick line, it indicates a bullish signal. After the crossover, traders are advised to wait for the price to pullback between the two lines. A range should then be created while the price moves through the thin line.
On the break of the range, an entry signal is generated, and the stop loss should be set below the range. The author advises traders to exit their profits according to their own analysis or price action and not to re-enter on the next pullback of the same trend. The same rules apply when the thin line crosses downwards over the thick line.
The author emphasizes that range creation is mandatory on crossing and that traders should not try to go against the trend. If the price is above both lines, traders should only go for buy orders, and vice versa.
If there is no range created while crossing, traders are advised not to enter the market. Traders should wait for the opportunity and not force a trade.
The indicator also includes a plot of the 34 EMA, and a range is created above and below the price action using the "up" and "down" variables. The author uses the "fill" function to color the background of the chart to highlight the range. The "dummy" variable is used to plot circles above or below the price action, depending on the trend.
In summary, the "TradeEasy - Kintro" indicator is a custom indicator designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals based on the crossing of two EMAs. The author provides a set of rules to generate trading signals and advises traders to wait for the opportunity and not force a trade. The indicator also includes a visual representation of the range created on the chart. As always, traders are advised to conduct their own research and analysis before entering any trades.

SVDThis indicator aims to compare between two charts if trader isn't sure which one is more active and powerful, it does NOT show entries or help your chart analysis directly.
The main features of this indicator is to show vitality and range of any given chart.
Volatility: it calculates the average profit of every swing in the range and the final result will be the chart volatility, which indicate how profitable this chart is.
Range: it calculates the profit of the whole range compared to the total price. (E.g. range bottom is 0.1 and range top is 0.2 the range will be 100%)
Extra: indicator shows the total direction of the chart in term of (STRONG UPTREND, UPTREND, SIDEWAYS, DOWNTREND, STRONG DOWNTREND), if you got (Somthing_wrong) please contact me.
How to use: apply the indicator on different charts that you have chosen and the higher (volatility & range) the more profitable the chart is.
inputs:
Lookback length: how long the range is (how many candles are included).
How intense should the Swing be: how many candles should be counted as a confirmation complete swing.
