Customizable MACD (how to detect a strong convergence)Helloooo traders I wondered once if a MACD was based on an EMA/EMA/SMA or SMA/SMA/EMA (or WHATEVA/WHATEVA/WHATEVA). Seems they're so many alternatives out there. I decided to empower my audience more by choosing the type of moving averages you want for your MACD. More options doesn't always mean better performance - but who knows - some might find a config that they like with it for their favorite asset/timeframe. I added also a multi-timeframe component because I'm a nice guy ^^ Convergence is my BEST friend An oscillator (like MACD) is to measure how strong a momentum is - generally, traders use those indicators to confirm a trend. So understand that a MACD (or any other indicator not based on convergence ) won't likely be sufficient for doing great on the market. Combined with your favorite indicator, however, you may get great results. My indicators fav cocktail is mixing : 1) an oscillator (momentum confirmation) 2) a trendline/key level break (momentum confirmation) 3) adding-up on a different trading method but still converging with the first entry. The reason I'm deep with convergence detection is because I'm obsessed with removing those fakeout signals. You know which ones I'm talking about :) Those trades when the market goes sideways but our capital goes South (pun 100% intended) - 2 days later, the price hasn't changed much but some lost some capital due to fees, being overexposed, buying the top/selling the bottom of a range they didn't identify. It's publicly known that ranges are the worst traders' enemy. It's boring, not fun, and .... end up moving in the direction we expected when we go to sleep or outside. NO ONE/BROKER/EX-GF is tracking your computer - I checked also for mine as it happened for me way too often in the past. I surely preferred blaming a few external unknown conditions than improving my TA back in the days #bad #dave But my backtest sir... Our backtests show what they're being told to show . A backtest without a stop-loss/hard exit logic will show incredible results. Then trying that backtest with live trading is like in the Matrix movie - discovering the real world is tough and we must choose between the blue pill (learning how to evaluate properly risk/opportunity caught) and the red pill (increasing the position sizing, not setting a stop loss, holding the positions hoping for the best) Last few words Convergences aren't invented because it's cool to mix indicators with others. (it is actually and even fun) They're created to remove most of the fakeouts . For those that can't be removed - a strong risk management would cut most of the remaining potential big losses. No system works 100% of the time - so a convergence system needs a back-up plan in case the converged signal is wrong (could be stop-loss, hard exit, reducing position sizing, ...) Wishing you the BEST and happy beginning of your week Daveatt

Trend is your friendThis indicator evaluates the trend based on crosses of two McGinley moving averages. It paints candles accordingly (it does not repaint), so you can see what the indicator is saying more clearly and stay in your trade until you see a period of consolidation or a reversal. You can control how far away those moving averages need to be for you to consider it a trend. If this distance is not met candles color is not changed and it shows you that the market is in a period of consolidation. I also added visualization of RSI, so you can have an easier time finding appropriate profit targets. For stop loss I would recommend placing it a couple points above or below the previous high / low that is located above / below you final target for entry. You can also use a certain percentage that works for you. I tried adding a stop loss based on ATR, but I did not like the results. Using market structure is a better choice in my opinion. Here is a basic trading strategy for the default settings: Wait for the indicator to start printing a series of green or red candles. After that you can enter a long or a short around moving averages. Another valid place to entry is the specific RSI zone. If we are in an uptrend buying when RSI is oversold can be beneficial as you expect market to recover. I do not recommend changing RSI from 14. Vice versa for the downtrend. It gives you an edge as you know at what price RSI will be oversold and allows you to place trades in advance. Pretty neat! You need to realize that no indicator or strategy can give you an exact entry. There will always be some margin of error. What I wanted to say is that if there is a strong trend up and you buy around your key moving averages and when RSI is oversold you entered in good places and there is a pretty good chance you will make money. Time frame settings: If you want to use tighter stop losses I would recommend sticking to 15m. Do not go lower. It is not worth the stress. 1h and 4h seems to be very good as well, but expect your stop losses to be wider. What I personally tend to do is display 15m, 30m and 1h and compare it. Think of it as a short, mid and long term. That way you can see things little bit better. Examples: 1H chart BTC 4h chart EUR / USD 1D chart NASDAQ 15m chart BTC (Daytrading) That last chart shows that even if you were longing while the trend was about to change you still had a good chance to close it with a little profit and switch to short easily. The default settings is what has worked the best for me. Feel free to change them as you see fit and do not forget to let me know if you find something that works better :) Notes: Either disable wick display or change it to a neutral color like gray for both green and red candles. Unfortunately pine script does not allow wick painting, so if you have red / green wicks it will look terrible. If RSI visualization makes your candles look too small you can go to settings and disable the display of individual RSI levels. You will still be able to see the zones, but the scale won't be affected.

NEXT GEN INSPIRED BY OLIVER VELEZDYOR NFA 1. Initial Setup & Application Load the Strategy to your desired chart (e.g., EURUSD M5, as suggested by the script's backtest). Overlay: Ensure the script is set to overlay=true (which it is) so the signals and Moving Averages plot directly on the price chart. Equity Management: Review the initial strategy settings for capital and position sizing: Initial Capital: Defaults to 10,000. Default Qty Type: Set to strategy.percent_of_equity (22%), meaning 22% of your available equity is used per trade. Adjust this percentage based on your personal risk tolerance. 2. Reviewing Key Indicator Inputs The script uses default values that are optimized, but you can adjust them in the settings panel: Fast EMA: Defaults to 9 (e.g., a 9-period Exponential Moving Average). Slow EMA: Defaults to 21 (e.g., a 21-period Exponential Moving Average). These EMAs define the short-term trend. ATR: Defaults to 14 (Average True Range). Used to dynamically calculate volatility for SL/TP distances. Final R:R: Defaults to 4.5 (minimum R:R required for a signal). This is the core of the strategy's high reward goal. 3. Interpreting Entry Signals A trade signal is generated only when all conditions—EMA trend, "Elephant Logic" momentum, and non-ranging market—are met. Long Signal: Appears as a green triangle (▲) below the bar, labeled "COMBO". Short Signal: Appears as a red triangle (▼) above the bar, labeled "COMBO". Live Plan: Upon signal, a detailed label is immediately plotted on the chart showing the FULL BATTLE PLAN: SL: Calculated Stop Loss price. TP: Calculated Take Profit price (based on the Final R:R). Risk/Reward Pips: The calculated pips for the trade's risk and reward. R:R = 1:4.5: The exact Risk-to-Reward ratio. 4. Understanding Market Conditions & Visuals The script provides visuals to help you understand the current market state: Trend EMAs: The 9 EMA (green) and 21 EMA (purple/magenta) are plotted to show the underlying trend. Long trades only fire when Price > 9 EMA > 21 EMA. Short trades only fire when Price < 9 EMA < 21 EMA. Ranging Market (Rejection): Bars turn a light gray/silver when the proprietary "Reject Ranging" logic is active, indicating a low-volatility period. No new trades will be taken during these bars. Momentum Bar: Bars turn a gold/yellow color when the "Elephant Logic" (high-momentum, large-body candles over 2-3 periods) is detected, highlighting powerful price movement. 5. Execution and Exit Logic The strategy handles entry, scaling, and exit automatically: Entry: A market order is placed (strategy.entry) immediately upon the bar where the longSetup or shortSetup condition is met. Scaling Out (+1R): If the trade moves favorably by an amount equal to the initial risk (1R), the script closes a portion of the position (strategy.close with comment "+1R"). This partial exit locks in profit equivalent to the initial risk. Re-entry (Pyramiding): After the +1R exit, the strategy attempts a re-entry (LONG RE/SHORT RE diamond plot) if the price meets certain criteria near the 9 EMA, trying to capitalize on further trend continuation. Final Exits: Take Profit: A limit order is set at the calculated TP level (stopDist * minRR). Stop Loss: A stop order is set at the calculated SL level (stopDist * 1.3), slightly wider than the initial SL distance, likely to account for spread/slippage, ensuring the maximum loss is defined. Trailing Stop: A trailing stop is applied to the re-entry positions (LONG RE/SHORT RE) to protect profits as the market moves further in the direction of the trade.

Hybrid Linear Regression Channel with Fibonacci LevelsHow to Use the LRC Fib Hybrid Indicator (Detailed Guide) 1. Read the Trend 2.The thick blue line is the linear regression midline. If it’s sloping upward → uptrend (favor longs). If sloping downward → downtrend (favor shorts). The gray channel bounds are ±2 standard deviations (adjustable). 3. Understand Fibonacci Levels Fib lines are projected parallel to the regression slope using the channel width as 100%: Red dashed lines (0.0 to 0.786): Support zones in uptrends. Blue dashed line (0.5): Midline/neutral. Green dashed lines (1.0 to 2.618): Resistance zones in downtrends. Strongest levels: 0.618 (support) and 1.618 (resistance). 4. Buy Signal (Long Entry) Triggered when: Midline is rising (uptrend confirmed). Price crosses above a red Fib level (0.0–0.786). Volume > 20-period average (if confirmation enabled). Action: Enter long on the green triangle (▲). Stop Loss: Below the lower gray channel or recent swing low. Take Profit: At 1.0, 1.272, or 1.618 green Fibs. 5. Sell Signal (Short Entry) Triggered when: Midline is falling (downtrend). Price crosses below a green Fib level (1.272–2.618). Volume > average. Action: Enter short on the red triangle (▼). Stop Loss: Above the upper gray channel. Take Profit: At 1.0, 0.786, or 0.618 red Fibs. 6. Use the Info Table (Bottom-Right) Shows live prices of all Fib levels, current trend ("Up"/"Down"), and signal status ("BUY"/"SELL"/"None"). 7. Customize via Settings (Gear Icon) Regression Length: 50–200 (shorter = faster response). Std Dev Multiplier: 1.5–3.0 (tighter/wider channel). Toggle Fibs: Hide unused levels to declutter. Volume Confirmation: Turn off for pure price action. 8. Set Alerts Right-click chart → Add Alert → Select "Buy Signal" or "Sell Signal" → Enable popup/email/webhook. 9. Best Practices Best in trending markets (avoid chop). Wait for volume spike on bounce. Combine with higher timeframe bias. Use 0.618/1.618 as primary reversal zones. This indicator gives you adaptive trend, precise entries, volume filter, and dynamic targets — all in one clean overlay.

PSAR with ATR Trailing Stop + SMA Filter📈 Strategy Overview: PSAR + 6×ATR Trailing Stop with SMA Filter This strategy is built around the principle of “Cut the losers, let the winners run” — a disciplined, trend-following approach that combines the Parabolic SAR indicator with dynamic risk management and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter. 🔍 Strategy Logic Trend Filter Trades are only taken in the direction of the prevailing trend, defined by a user-selected SMA (default: 100). ✅ Long trades only when price is above the SMA ✅ Short trades only when price is below the SMA Entry Signal: A trade is triggered when the Parabolic SAR flips to the opposite side of the price bars, signaling a potential trend reversal. Stop Loss: The stop loss is dynamically set at 6×ATR from the entry price. This adapts to market volatility and is recalculated every bar — effectively acting as a trailing stop. Exit Logic: There is no fixed take profit. The trade remains open until the trailing stop is hit — allowing winners to run and losers to be cut quickly. Risk Management: Each trade risks 0.5% of total equity, ensuring consistent position sizing and capital preservation. 📊 Visual Elements PSAR dots mark trend direction changes SMA line shows the broader trend filter Trailing stop crosses (with 50% opacity) indicate the current stop level without cluttering the chart ⚙️ Customizable Inputs PSAR parameters: Start, Increment, Maximum ATR length and multiplier SMA length Risk percentage per trade This strategy is ideal for traders who want to stay aligned with the trend, automate disciplined exits, and avoid emotional decision-making. Clean, simple, and powerful. Wishing you calm and successful trades!

Advanced Psychological Levels with Dynamic Spacing═══════════════════════════════════════ ADVANCED PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS WITH DYNAMIC SPACING ═══════════════════════════════════════ A comprehensive psychological price level indicator that automatically identifies and displays round number levels across multiple timeframes. Features dynamic ATR-based spacing, smart crypto detection, distance tracking, and customizable alert system. ─────────────────────────────────────── WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES ─────────────────────────────────────── This indicator automatically draws psychological price levels (round numbers) that often act as support and resistance: - Dynamic ATR-Based Spacing - Adapts level spacing to market volatility - Multiple Level Types - Major (250 pip), Standard (100 pip), Mid, and Intraday levels - Smart Asset Detection - Automatically adjusts for Forex, Crypto, Indices, and CFDs - Crypto Price Adaptation - Intelligent level spacing based on cryptocurrency price magnitude - Distance Information Table - Real-time percentage distance to nearest levels - Combined Level Labels - Clear identification when multiple level types coincide - Performance Optimized - Configurable visible range and label limits - Comprehensive Alerts - Notifications when price crosses any level type ─────────────────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ─────────────────────────────────────── PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS CONCEPT: Psychological levels are round numbers where traders tend to place orders, creating natural support and resistance zones. These include: - Forex: 1.0000, 1.0100, 1.0050 (pips) - Crypto: $100, $1,000, $10,000 (whole numbers) - Indices: 10,000, 10,500, 11,000 (points) Why They Matter: - Traders naturally gravitate to round numbers - Stop losses cluster at these levels - Take profit orders concentrate here - Institutional algorithmic trading often targets these levels DYNAMIC ATR-BASED SPACING: Traditional Method: - Fixed spacing regardless of volatility - May be too tight in volatile markets - May be too wide in quiet markets Dynamic Method (Recommended): - Uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility - Automatically adjusts level spacing - Tighter levels in low volatility - Wider levels in high volatility Calculation: 1. Calculate ATR over specified period (default: 14) 2. Multiply by ATR multiplier (default: 2.0) 3. Round to nearest psychological level 4. Generate levels at dynamic intervals Benefits: - Adapts to market conditions - More relevant levels in all volatility regimes - Reduces clutter in trending markets - Provides more detail in ranging markets LEVEL TYPES: Major Levels (250 pip/point): - Highest significance - Primary support/resistance zones - Color: Red (default) - Style: Solid lines - Spacing: 2.5x standard step Standard Levels (100 pip/point): - Secondary importance - Common psychological barriers - Color: Blue (default) - Style: Dashed lines - Spacing: Standard step Mid Levels (50% between major): - Optional intermediate levels - Halfway between major levels - Color: Gray (default) - Style: Dotted lines - Usage: Additional confluence points Intraday Levels (sub-100 pip): - For intraday traders - Fine-grained precision - Color: Yellow (default) - Style: Dotted lines - Only shown on intraday timeframes SMART ASSET DETECTION: Forex Pairs: - Detects major currency pairs automatically - Uses pip-based calculations - Standard: 100 pips (0.0100) - Major: 250 pips (0.0250) - Intraday: 20, 50, 80 pip subdivisions Cryptocurrencies: - Automatic price magnitude detection - Adaptive spacing based on price: * Under $0.10: Levels at $0.01, $0.05 * $0.10-$1: Levels at $0.10, $0.50 * $1-$10: Levels at $1, $5 * $10-$100: Levels at $10, $50 * $100-$1,000: Levels at $100, $500 * $1,000-$10,000: Levels at $1,000, $5,000 * Over $10,000: Levels at $5,000, $10,000 Indices & CFDs: - Fixed point-based system - Major: 500 point intervals (with 250 sub-levels) - Standard: 100 point intervals - Suitable for stock indices like SPX, NASDAQ COMBINED LEVEL LABELS: When multiple level types coincide at the same price: - Single line drawn (highest priority color) - Combined label shows all types - Priority: Major > Standard > Mid > Intraday Example Label Formats: - "1.1000 Major" - Major level only - "1.1000 Std + Major" - Both standard and major - "50000 Intra + Mid + Std" - Three levels coincide Benefits: - Cleaner chart appearance - Clear identification of confluence - Reduced visual clutter - Easy to spot high-importance levels DISTANCE INFORMATION TABLE: Real-time tracking of nearest levels: Table Contents: - Nearest major level above (price and % distance) - Nearest standard level above (price and % distance) - Nearest standard level below (price and % distance) Display: - Top right corner (configurable) - Color-coded by level type - Real-time percentage calculations - Helpful for position management Usage: - Identify proximity to key levels - Set realistic profit targets - Gauge potential move magnitude - Monitor approaching resistance/support ALERT SYSTEM: Comprehensive crossing alerts: Alert Types: - Major Level Crosses - Standard Level Crosses - Intraday Level Crosses Alert Modes: - First Cross Only: Alert once when level is crossed - All Crosses: Alert every time level is crossed Alert Information: - Level type crossed - Specific price level - Direction (above/below) - One alert per bar to prevent spam Configuration: - Enable/disable by level type - Choose alert frequency - Customize for your trading style ─────────────────────────────────────── HOW TO USE ─────────────────────────────────────── INITIAL SETUP: General Settings: 1. Enable "Use Dynamic ATR-Based Spacing" (recommended) 2. Set ATR Period (14 is standard) 3. Adjust ATR Multiplier (2.0 is balanced) Visibility Settings: 1. Set Visible Range % (10% recommended for clarity) 2. Adjust Label Offset for readability 3. Configure performance limits if needed Level Selection: 1. Enable/disable level types based on trading style 2. Adjust line counts for each type 3. Choose line styles and colors for visibility TRADING STRATEGIES: Breakout Trading: 1. Wait for price to approach major or standard level 2. Monitor for consolidation near level 3. Enter on confirmed break above/beyond level 4. Stop loss just beyond the broken level 5. Target: Next major or standard level Rejection Trading: 1. Identify major psychological level 2. Wait for price to test the level 3. Look for rejection signals (wicks, bearish/bullish candles) 4. Enter in direction of rejection 5. Stop beyond the level 6. Target: Previous level or mid-level Range Trading: 1. Identify range between two major levels 2. Buy at lower psychological level 3. Sell at upper psychological level 4. Use standard and mid-levels for position management 5. Exit if major level breaks with volume Confluence Trading: 1. Look for combined levels (Std + Major) 2. These represent high-probability zones 3. Use as primary support/resistance 4. Increase position size at confluence 5. Expect stronger reactions at these levels Session-Based Trading: 1. Note opening level at session start (Asian/London/NY) 2. Trade breakouts of major levels during high-volume sessions 3. London/NY sessions: More likely to break levels 4.

Quantum Fluxtrend [CHE] Quantum Fluxtrend — A dynamic Supertrend variant with integrated breakout event tracking and VWAP-guided risk management for clearer trend decisions. Summary The Quantum Fluxtrend builds on traditional Supertrend logic by incorporating a midline derived from smoothed high and low values, creating adaptive bands that respond to market range expansion or contraction. This results in fewer erratic signals during volatile periods and smoother tracking in steady trends, while an overlaid event system highlights breakout confirmations, potential traps, or continuations with visual lines, labels, and percentage deltas from the close. Users benefit from real-time VWAP calculations anchored to events, providing dynamic stop-loss suggestions to help manage exits without manual adjustments. Overall, it layers signal robustness with actionable annotations, reducing noise in fast-moving charts. Motivation: Why this design? Standard Supertrend indicators often generate excessive flips in choppy conditions or lag behind in low-volatility drifts, leading to whipsaws that erode confidence in trend direction. This design addresses that by centering bands around a midline that reflects recent price spreads, ensuring adjustments are proportional to observed variability. The added event layer captures regime shifts explicitly, turning abstract crossovers into labeled milestones with trailing VWAP for context, which helps traders distinguish genuine momentum from fleeting noise without over-relying on raw price action. What’s different vs. standard approaches? - Baseline reference: Diverges from the classic Supertrend, which uses average true range for fixed offsets from a median price. - Architecture differences: - Bands form around a central line averaged from smoothed highs and lows, with offsets scaled by half the range between those smooths. - Regime direction persists until a clear breach of the prior opposite band, preventing premature reversals. - Event visualization draws persistent lines from flip points, updating labels based on price sustainment relative to the trigger level. - VWAP resets at each event, accumulating volume-weighted prices forward for a trailing reference. - Practical effect: Charts show fewer direction changes overall, with color-coded annotations that evolve from initial breakout to continuation or trap status, making it easier to spot sustained moves early. VWAP lines provide a volume-informed anchor that curves with price, offering visual cues for adverse drifts. How it works (technical) The process starts by smoothing high and low prices over a user-defined period to form upper and lower references. A midline sits midway between them, and half the spread acts as a base for band offsets, adjusted by a multiplier to widen or narrow sensitivity. On each bar, the close is checked against the previous bar's opposite band: crossing above expands the lower band downward in uptrends, or below contracts the upper band upward in downtrends, creating a ratcheting effect that locks in direction until breached. Persistent state tracks the current regime, seeding initial bands from the smoothed values if no prior data exists. Flips trigger new horizontal lines at the breach level, styled by direction, alongside labels that monitor sustainment—price holding above for up-flips or below for down-flips keeps the regime, while reversal flags a trap. Separately, at each flip, a dashed VWAP line initializes at the breach price and extends forward, accumulating the product of typical prices and volumes divided by total volume. This yields a curving reference that updates bar-by-bar. Warnings activate if price strays adversely from this VWAP, tinting the background for quick alerts. No higher timeframe data is pulled, so all computations run on the chart's native resolution, avoiding lookahead biases unless repainting is enabled via input. Parameter Guide SMA Length — Controls smoothing of highs and lows for midline and range base; longer values dampen noise but increase lag. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Shortens responsiveness in trends (e.g., 10–14) but risks more flips; extend to 30+ for stability in ranging markets. Multiplier — Scales band offsets from the half-range; higher amplifies to capture bigger swings. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs: Above 1.5 widens for volatile assets, reducing false signals; below 0.8 tightens for precision but may miss subtle shifts. Show Bands — Toggles visibility of basic and adjusted band lines for reference. Default: false. Tip: Enable briefly to verify alignment with price action. Show Background Color — Displays red tint on VWAP adverse crosses for visual warnings. Default: false. Trade-offs: Helps in live monitoring but can clutter clean charts. Line Width — Sets thickness for event and VWAP lines. Default: 2. Tip: Thicker (3–5) for emphasis on key levels. +Bars after next event — Extends old lines briefly before cleanup on new flips. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Longer preserves history (40+) at resource cost; shorter keeps charts tidy. Allow Repainting — Permits live-bar updates for smoother real-time view. Default: false. Tip: Disable for backtest accuracy. Extension 1 Settings (Show, Width, Size, Decimals, Colors, Alpha) — Manages dotted connector from event label to current close, showing percentage change. Defaults: Shown, width 2, normal size, 2 decimals, lime/red for gains/losses, gray line, 90% transparent background. Trade-offs: Fewer decimals for clean display; adjust alpha for readability. Extension 2 Settings (Show, Method, Stop %, Ticks, Decimals, Size, Color, Inherit, Alpha) — Positions stop label at VWAP end, offset by percent or ticks. Defaults: Shown, percent method, 1.0%, 20 ticks, 4 decimals, normal size, white text, inherit tint, 0% alpha. Trade-offs: Percent for proportional risk; ticks for fixed distance in tick-based assets. Alert Toggles — Enables notifications for breakouts, continuations, traps, or VWAP warnings. All default: true. Tip: Layer with chart alerts for multi-condition setups. Reading & Interpretation The main Supertrend line colors green for up-regimes (price above lower band) and red for down (below upper band), serving as a dynamic support/resistance trail. Flip shapes (up/down triangles) mark regime changes at band breaches. Event lines extend horizontally from flips: green for bull, red for bear. Labels start blank and update to "Bull/Bear Cont." if price sustains the direction, or "Trap" if it reverses, with colors shifting lime/red/gray accordingly. A dotted vertical links the trailing label to the current close, mid-labeled with the percentage delta (positive green, negative red). VWAP dashes yellow (bull) or orange (bear) from the event, curving to reflect volume-weighted average. At its end, a left-aligned label shows suggested stop price, annotated with offset details. Background red hints at weakening if price crosses VWAP opposite the regime. Deltas near zero suggest consolidation; widening extremes signal momentum buildup or exhaustion. Practical Workflows & Combinations - Trend following: Enter long on green flip shapes confirmed by higher highs, using the event line as initial stop below. Trail stops to VWAP for bull runs, exiting on trap labels or red background warnings. Filter with volume spikes to avoid low-conviction breaks. - Exits/Stops: Conservative: Set hard stops at suggested SL labels. Aggressive: Hold through minor traps if delta stays positive, but cut on regime flip. Pair with momentum oscillators for overbought pullbacks. - Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m–4H; for crypto, bump multiplier to 1.5 for volatility. Scale SMA length proportionally across timeframes (e.g., double for daily). Combine with structure tools like Fibonacci for confluence on event lines. Behavior, Constraints & Performance Live bars update lines and labels dynamically if repainting is allowed, but signals confirm on close for stability—flips only trigger post-bar. No higher timeframe calls, so no inherent lookahead, though volume weighting assumes continuous data. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels max; events prune old ones on new flips to stay under budget, with brief extensions for visibility. Arrays or loops absent, keeping it lightweight. Known limits include lag in extreme gaps (e.g., overnight opens) where bands may not adjust instantly, and VWAP sensitivity to sparse volume in illiquid sessions. Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning Start with SMA 20, multiplier 1.0 for balanced response across majors. For choppy pairs: Lengthen SMA to 30, multiplier 0.8 to tighten bands and cut flips. For trending equities: Shorten to 14, multiplier 1.2 for quicker entries. If traps dominate, enable bands to inspect range compression; for sluggish signals, reduce extension bars to focus on recent events. What this indicator is—and isn’t This serves as a visualization and signal layer for trend regimes and breakouts, highlighting sustainment via annotations and risk cues through VWAP—ideal atop price action for confirmation.

Trend Catch STFR - whipsaw Reduced### Summary of the Setup This trading system combines **SuperTrend** (a trend-following indicator based on ATR for dynamic support/resistance), **Range Filter** (a smoothed median of the last 100 candles to identify price position relative to a baseline), and filters using **VIX Proxy** (a volatility measure: (14-period ATR / 14-period SMA of Close) × 100) and **ADX** (Average Directional Index for trend strength). It's designed for trend trading with volatility safeguards. - **Entries**: Triggered only in "tradeable" markets (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20) when SuperTrend aligns with direction (green for long, red for short), price crosses the Range Filter median accordingly, and you're not already in that position. - **Exits**: Purely price-based—exit when SuperTrend flips or price crosses back over the Range Filter median. No forced exits from low volatility/trend. - **No Trade Zone**: Blocks new entries if both VIX Proxy < 15 AND ADX < 20, but doesn't affect open positions. - **Overall Goal**: Enter trends with confirmed strength/volatility, ride them via price action, and avoid ranging/choppy markets for new trades. This creates a filtered trend-following strategy that prioritizes quality entries while letting winners run. ### Advantages - **Reduces Noise in Entries**: The VIX Proxy and ADX filters ensure trades only in volatile or strongly trending conditions, avoiding low-momentum periods that often lead to false signals. - **Lets Winners Run**: Exits based solely on price reversal (SuperTrend or Range Filter) allow positions to stay open during temporary lulls in volatility/trend, potentially capturing longer moves. - **Simple and Balanced**: Combines trend (SuperTrend/ADX), range (Filter), and volatility (VIX Proxy) without overcomplicating—easy to backtest and adapt to assets like stocks, forex, or crypto. - **Adaptable to Markets**: The "OR" logic for VIX/ADX provides flexibility (e.g., enters volatile sideways markets if ADX is low, or steady trends if VIX is low). - **Risk Control**: Implicitly limits exposure by blocking entries in calm markets, which can preserve capital during uncertainty. ### Disadvantages - **Whipsaws in Choppy Markets**: As you noted, SuperTrend can flip frequently in ranging conditions, leading to quick entries/exits and small losses, especially if the Range Filter isn't smoothing enough noise. - **Missed Opportunities**: Strict filters (e.g., requiring VIX ≥ 15 or ADX ≥ 20) might skip early-stage trends or low-volatility grinds, reducing trade frequency and potential profits in quiet bull/bear markets. - **Lagging Exits**: Relying only on price flips means you might hold losing trades longer if volatility drops without a clear reversal, increasing drawdowns. - **Parameter Sensitivity**: Values like VIX 15, ADX 20, or Range Filter's 100-candle lookback need tuning per asset/timeframe; poor choices could amplify whipsaws or over-filter. - **No Built-in Risk Management**: Lacks explicit stops/targets, so it relies on user-added rules (e.g., ATR-based stops), which could lead to oversized losses if not implemented. ### How to Use It This system can be implemented in platforms like TradingView (via Pine Script), Python (e.g., with TA-Lib or Pandas), or MT4/5. Here's a step-by-step guide, assuming TradingView for simplicity—adapt as needed. (If coding in Python, use libraries like pandas_ta for indicators.) 1. **Set Up Indicators**: - Add SuperTrend (default: ATR period 10, multiplier 3—adjust as suggested in prior tweaks). - Create Range Filter: Use a 100-period SMA of (high + low)/2, smoothed (e.g., via EMA if desired). - Calculate VIX Proxy: Custom script for (ATR(14) / SMA(close, 14)) * 100. - Add ADX (period 14, standard). 2. **Define Rules in Code/Script**: - **Long Entry**: If SuperTrend direction < 0 (green), close > RangeFilterMedian, (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20), and not already long—buy on bar close. - **Short Entry**: If SuperTrend direction > 0 (red), close < RangeFilterMedian, (VIX Proxy ≥ 15 OR ADX ≥ 20), and not already short—sell short. - **Exit Long**: If in long and (SuperTrend > 0 OR close < RangeFilterMedian)—sell. - **Exit Short**: If in short and (SuperTrend < 0 OR close > RangeFilterMedian)—cover. - Monitor No Trade Zone visually (e.g., plot yellow background when VIX < 15 AND ADX < 20). 3. **Backtest and Optimize**: - Use historical data on your asset (e.g., SPY on 1H chart). - Test metrics: Win rate, profit factor, max drawdown. Adjust thresholds (e.g., ADX to 25) to reduce whipsaws. - Forward-test on demo account to validate. 4. **Live Trading**: - Apply to a chart, set alerts for entries/exits. - Add risk rules: Position size 1-2% of capital, stop-loss at SuperTrend line. - Monitor manually or automate via bots—avoid overtrading; use on trending assets. For the adjustments I suggested earlier (e.g., ADX 25, 2-bar confirmation), integrate them into entries only—test one at a time to isolate improvements. If whipsaws persist, combine 2-3 tweaks.

Hidden Impulse═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ OVERVIEW Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES This indicator is original in the following ways: 1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals. 2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum) to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure. 3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides three specific, rule-based setups: - Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation - Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability) - Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels 4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING All signals are filtered through: - 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades) - Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement) - Force Index confirmation (validates volume support) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION: The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals. Step 1: Calculate MACD - Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23 - Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50 - MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing - Apply stochastic calculation to MACD - Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) - Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10 Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing - Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic - This creates the final STC value between 0-100 The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while being smoother than traditional stochastics. FORCE INDEX CALCULATION: Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume: Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13 Interpretation: - Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control) - Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control) - Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift - Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal) TREND FILTER: A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter: - Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed - Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation LONG CONDITIONS: 1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up) 2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up) 3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms) 4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up) SHORT CONDITIONS: 1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down) 2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down) 3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms) 4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down) Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades Win rate: Moderate (60-65%) Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY) Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm BULLISH DIVERGENCE: 1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars 2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down 3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition) Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero BEARISH DIVERGENCE: 1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars 2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up 3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition) Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam. When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal is likely. Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets Win rate: High (70-75%) Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in extreme STC zones LONG CONDITIONS: 1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend) 2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold) 3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in) SHORT CONDITIONS: 1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend) 2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought) 3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in) Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades Win rate: Moderate (55-60%) Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2 Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe): - Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe - This is where you'll take trades Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe): - Default: 30 minutes - Recommended ratios: * 5min chart → 30min higher TF * 15min chart → 1H higher TF * 1H chart → 4H higher TF * Daily chart → Weekly higher TF ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for: CRYPTO (volatile): - Length 1: 15 - Length 2: 35 - Smoothing: 8 (Faster response for rapid price movements) STOCKS (standard): - Length 1: 23 - Length 2: 50 - Smoothing: 10 (Balanced settings) FOREX MAJORS (slower): - Length 1: 30 - Length 2: 60 - Smoothing: 12 (Filters out noise in 24/7 markets) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS Toggle setups based on your trading style: Conservative Trader: ✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate ✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends ✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive Trend Trader: ✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals ✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks ✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending Scalper: ✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out ✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps ✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS ON THE CHART: Labels appear when conditions are met: Green labels: - "LONG A" — Setup A long entry - "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal) - "LONG C" — Setup C bounce long Red labels: - "SHORT A" — Setup A short entry - "SHORT B DIV" — Setup B divergence short (best signal) - "SHORT C" — Setup C bounce short IN THE INDICATOR PANEL (bottom): - Blue line = Primary timeframe STC - Orange dots = Higher timeframe STC (optional) - Green/Red bars = Force Index histogram - Dashed lines at 25/75 = Entry/Exit zones - Background shading = Oversold (green) / Overbought (red) INFO TABLE (top-right corner): Shows real-time status: - STC values for both timeframes - Force Index direction - Price position vs EMA - Current trend direction - Active signal type ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT ENTRY RULES: Priority ranking (best to worst): 1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these 2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only 3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only Confirmation checklist before entry: ☑ Signal label appears on chart ☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction ☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table) ☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STOP LOSS PLACEMENT: Setup A (Classic): - LONG: Below recent swing low - SHORT: Above recent swing high - Typical: 1-2 ATR distance Setup B (Divergence): - LONG: Below the divergence low - SHORT: Above the divergence high - Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance Setup C (Bounce): - LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50 - SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50 - Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── TAKE PROFIT TARGETS: Conservative approach: - Exit when STC reaches opposite level - LONG: Exit when STC > 75 - SHORT: Exit when STC < 25 Aggressive approach: - Hold until opposite signal appears - Trail stop as STC moves in your favor Partial profits: - Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward - Let remaining 50% run to target ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── WHAT TO AVOID: ❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets → Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only ❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC → Always check orange dots align with your direction ❌ Taking signals against the major trend → If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs ❌ Overtrading Setup C → Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session ❌ Trading during low volume periods → Force Index becomes unreliable ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ALERTS CONFIGURATION The indicator includes 8 alert types: Individual setup alerts: - "Setup A - LONG" / "Setup A - SHORT" - "Setup B - DIV LONG" / "Setup B - DIV SHORT" ⭐ recommended - "Setup C - BOUNCE LONG" / "Setup C - BOUNCE SHORT" Combined alerts: - "ANY LONG" — fires on any long signal - "ANY SHORT" — fires on any short signal Recommended alert setup: - Create "Setup B - DIV LONG" and "Setup B - DIV SHORT" alerts - These are the highest probability signals - Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false alerts ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ VISUALIZATION SETTINGS Show Labels on Chart: Toggle on/off the signal labels (green/red) Disable for cleaner chart once you're familiar with the indicator Show Higher TF STC: Toggle the orange dots showing higher timeframe STC Useful for visual confirmation of multi-timeframe alignment Info Panel: Cannot be disabled — always shows current status Positioned top-right to avoid chart interference ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE: 1. Market Context: - Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA - Multiple lower lows forming - STC below 25 (oversold) 2. Divergence Formation: - Price makes new low at $45.20 - Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms) - This indicates selling pressure weakening 3. Signal Trigger: - STC starts turning up - Force Index crosses above zero - Label appears: "LONG B DIV" 4. Trade Execution: - Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal) - Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low) - Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4 - Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop 5. Trade Management: - Price rallies to $47.20 - STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone) - Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven - Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75 Result: 3.7R gain ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ADVANCED TIPS 1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE For highest probability trades, wait for: - Primary TF signal - Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts) - Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check) 2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION Watch the Force Index histogram: - Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum - Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum - Use this to gauge signal strength 3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS - Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic) - Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes) - Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable) - Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks) 4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE Best signals occur near: - Key horizontal levels - Fibonacci retracements - Previous day's high/low - Psychological round numbers 5. SESSION AWARENESS - Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well - London session: Setup A and B both effective - New York session: All setups work, highest volume ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ INDICATOR WINDOWS LAYOUT MAIN CHART: - Price action - 50 EMA (green/red) - Signal labels - Info panel INDICATOR WINDOW: - STC oscillator (blue line, 0-100 scale) - Higher TF STC (orange dots, optional) - Force Index histogram (green/red bars) - Reference levels (25, 50, 75) - Background zones (green oversold, red overbought) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION For best results: Backtesting: - Test on your specific instrument and timeframe - Adjust STC parameters if win rate < 55% - Record which setup works best for your market Position Sizing: - Risk 1-2% per trade - Setup B can use 2% risk (higher win rate) - Setup C should use 1% risk (lower win rate) Trade Frequency: - Setup B: 2-5 signals per week (be patient) - Setup A: 5-10 signals per week - Setup C: 10+ signals per week (scalping) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ CREDITS & REFERENCES This indicator builds upon established technical analysis concepts: Schaff Trend Cycle: - Developed by Doug Schaff (1996) - Original concept published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities - Implementation based on standard STC formula Force Index: - Developed by Dr. Alexander Elder - Described in "Trading for a Living" (1993) - Classic volume-momentum indicator The multi-timeframe integration, three-setup system, and specific entry conditions are original contributions of this indicator. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ DISCLAIMER This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not guarantee profits.

Adaptive Trend 1m ### Overview The "Adaptive Trend Impulse Parallel SL/TP 1m Realistic" strategy is a sophisticated trading system designed specifically for high-volatility markets like cryptocurrencies on 1-minute timeframes. It combines trend-following with momentum filters and adaptive parameters to dynamically adjust to market conditions, ensuring more reliable entries and risk management. This strategy uses SuperTrend for primary trend detection, enhanced by MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and optional volume spikes. It incorporates parallel stop-loss (SL) and multiple take-profit (TP) levels based on ATR, with options for breakeven and trailing stops after the first TP. Optimized for realistic backtesting on short timeframes, it avoids over-optimization by adapting indicators to market speed and efficiency. ### Principles of Operation The strategy operates on the principle of adaptive impulse trading, where entry signals are generated only when multiple conditions align to confirm a strong trend reversal or continuation: 1. **Trend Detection (SuperTrend)**: The core signal comes from an adaptive SuperTrend indicator. It calculates upper and lower bands using ATR (Average True Range) with dynamic periods and multipliers. A buy signal occurs when the price crosses above the lower band (from a downtrend), and a sell signal when it crosses below the upper band (from an uptrend). Adaptation is based on Rate of Change (ROC) to measure market speed, shortening periods in fast markets for quicker responses. 2. **Momentum and Trend Filters**: - **MACD**: Uses adaptive fast and slow lengths. In "Trend Filter" mode (default when "Use MACD Cross" is false), it checks if the MACD line is above/below the signal for long/short. In cross mode, it requires a crossover/crossunder. - **RSI**: Adaptive period RSI must be above 50 for longs and below 50 for shorts, confirming overbought/oversold conditions dynamically. - **Bollinger Bands (BB)**: Depending on the mode ("Midline" by default), it requires the price to be above/below the BB midline for longs/shorts, or a breakout in "Breakout" mode. Deviation adapts to market efficiency. - **Volume Spike Filter** (optional): Entries require volume to exceed an adaptive multiple of its SMA, signaling strong impulse. 3. **Volatility Filter**: Entries are only allowed if current ATR percentage exceeds a historical minimum (adaptive), preventing trades in low-volatility ranges. 4. **Risk Management (Parallel SL/TP)**: - **Stop-Loss**: Set at an adaptive ATR multiple below/above entry for long/short. - **Take-Profits**: Three levels at adaptive ATR multiples, with partial position closures (e.g., 51% at TP1, 25% at TP2, remainder at TP3). - **Post-TP1 Features**: Optional breakeven moves SL to entry after TP1. Trailing SL uses BB midline as a dynamic trail. - All levels are calculated per trade using the ATR at entry, making them "realistic" for 1m charts by widening SL and tightening initial TPs. The strategy enters long on buy signals with all filters met, and short on sell signals. It uses pyramid margin (100% long/short) for full position sizing. Adaptation is driven by: - **Market Speed (normSpeed)**: Based on ROC, tightens multipliers in volatile periods. - **Efficiency Ratio (ER)**: Measures trend strength, adjusting periods for trending vs. ranging markets. This ensures the strategy "adapts" without manual tweaks, reducing false signals in varying conditions. ### Main Advantages - **Adaptability**: Unlike static strategies, parameters dynamically adjust to market volatility and trend strength, improving performance across ranging and trending phases without over-optimization. - **Realistic Risk Management for 1m**: Wider SL and tiered TPs prevent premature stops in noisy short-term charts, while partial profits lock in gains early. Breakeven/trailing options protect profits in extended moves. - **Multi-Filter Confirmation**: Combines trend, momentum, and volume for high-probability entries, reducing whipsaws. The volatility filter avoids flat markets. - **Debug Visualization**: Built-in plots for signals, levels, and component checks (when "Show Debug" is enabled) help users verify logic on charts. - **Efficiency**: Low computational load, suitable for real-time trading on TradingView with alerts. Backtesting shows robust results on volatile assets, with a focus on sustainable risk (e.g., SL at 3x ATR avoids excessive drawdowns). ### Uniqueness What sets this strategy apart is its **fully adaptive framework** integrating multiple indicators with real-time market metrics (ROC for speed, ER for efficiency). Most trend strategies use fixed parameters, leading to poor adaptation; here, every key input (periods, multipliers, deviations) scales dynamically within bounds, creating a "self-tuning" system. The "parallel SL/TP with 1m realism" adds custom handling for micro-timeframes: tightened initial TPs for quick wins and adaptive min-ATR filter to skip low-vol bars. Unlike generic mashups, it justifies the combination—SuperTrend for trend, MACD/RSI/BB for impulse confirmation, volume for conviction—working synergistically to capture "trend impulses" while filtering noise. The post-TP1 breakeven/trailing tied to BB adds a unique profit-locking mechanism not common in open-source scripts. ### Recommended Settings These settings are optimized and recommended for trading ASTER/USDT on Bybit, with 1-minute chart, x10 leverage, and cross margin mode. They provide a balanced risk-reward for this volatile pair: - **Base Inputs**: - Base ATR Period: 10 - Base SuperTrend ATR Multiplier: 2.5 - Base MACD Fast: 8 - Base MACD Slow: 17 - Base MACD Signal: 6 - Base RSI Period: 9 - Base Bollinger Period: 12 - Bollinger Deviation: 1.8 - Base Volume SMA Period: 19 - Base Volume Spike Multiplier: 1.8 - Adaptation Window: 54 - ROC Length: 10 - **TP/SL Settings**: - Use Stop Loss: True - Base SL Multiplier (ATR): 3 - Use Take Profits: True - Base TP1 Multiplier (ATR): 5.5 - Base TP2 Multiplier (ATR): 10.5 - Base TP3 Multiplier (ATR): 19 - TP1 % Position: 51 - TP2 % Position: 25 - Breakeven after TP1: False - Trailing SL after TP1: False - Base Min ATR Filter: 0.001 - Use Volume Spike Filter: True - BB Condition: Midline - Use MACD Cross (false=Trend Filter): True - Show Debug: True For backtesting, use initial capital of 30 USD, base currency USDT, order size 100 USDT, pyramiding 1, commission 0.1%, slippage 0 ticks, long/short margin 0%. Always backtest on your platform and use risk management—risk no more than 1-2% per trade. This is not financial advice; trade at your own risk.

ZS Game Changer Pump & Dump DetectorZS GAME CHANGER PUMP AND DUMP DETECTOR - TOP 2 MOMENTUM TRACKER Created by Zakaria Safri An intelligent indicator specifically designed to identify and highlight the two most significant pump and dump candles within your selected lookback period. Perfect for traders who want to focus on the game-changing moves that truly matter in volatile markets like cryptocurrency, stocks, and forex. CORE FEATURES AUTOMATIC GAME CHANGER DETECTION The indicator continuously scans your specified lookback period and automatically identifies the top 2 strongest pump candles and top 2 strongest dump candles. These game-changing candles are highlighted with distinctive gold labels and horizontal reference lines, making them instantly visible on your chart. Unlike other indicators that show every small move, this focuses exclusively on the market-moving moments that define trends and create opportunities. INTELLIGENT PUMP AND DUMP CLASSIFICATION Uses advanced percentage-based calculations to classify candles as pumps when price surges significantly upward and dumps when price plunges sharply downward. The detection system accounts for candle body size, wick proportions, and volume confirmation to ensure only legitimate momentum moves trigger signals. Customizable thresholds allow adaptation to any market volatility profile from calm stocks to wild altcoins. ADVANCED WICK EXCLUSION FILTER Eliminates false signals caused by candles with large wicks and small bodies. This filter focuses analysis exclusively on candles with substantial body sizes that indicate genuine directional conviction rather than temporary spikes followed by rejection. The body to candle ratio is fully adjustable to match your preferred signal quality standards. VOLUME CONFIRMATION SYSTEM Optional volume filter ensures detected pumps and dumps are backed by real market participation. The indicator compares current volume against a moving average and only triggers signals when volume exceeds your specified multiplier threshold. This eliminates low-volume noise and focuses on moves supported by institutional or crowd participation. RALLY SEQUENCE DETECTION Identifies and highlights consecutive sequences of pump or dump candles with colored background overlays. Green background indicates sustained buying pressure across multiple candles while red background shows sustained selling pressure. The rally detection system includes an optional one-miss allowance that prevents the sequence from breaking due to a single neutral candle. HORIZONTAL REFERENCE LINES Draws dashed lines from each game changer candle extending to the current bar, providing constant visual reference to the most significant support and resistance levels created by extreme momentum. The top game changer gets a thick dashed line while the second gets a dotted line for easy differentiation. Labels on the right side display the exact percentage move. COMPREHENSIVE STATISTICS DASHBOARD Real-time information panel showing current market status as pumping, dumping, or neutral along with the current candle percentage change. Displays the exact percentage values for top pump number 1, top pump number 2, top dump number 1, and top dump number 2. Shows running totals of all pumps and dumps detected since chart load. Tracks consecutive candle counts during active rally sequences. TESTING AND VERIFICATION MODE Built-in debug mode displays percentage change directly on each qualifying pump and dump candle, allowing instant verification that calculations are accurate. Shows which filters are currently active with a simple code in the dashboard. Helps traders understand exactly why certain candles qualified as game changers. HOW THE GAME CHANGER DETECTION WORKS SCANNING ALGORITHM Every bar close, the indicator scans backward through your specified lookback period examining every candle's percentage change from its previous close. For bullish moves, it identifies the two candles with the largest positive percentage change that meet your threshold requirements. For bearish moves, it identifies the two candles with the largest negative percentage change meeting threshold requirements. RANKING SYSTEM Candles are ranked purely by their percentage move magnitude. The number 1 game changer is always the single strongest move in the lookback period. The number 2 game changer is the second strongest move. Rankings update dynamically as new candles form and old candles exit the lookback window. VISUAL IDENTIFICATION Game changer number 1 for both pumps and dumps receives a large gold label reading GAME CHANGER NUMBER 1 with zero transparency for maximum visibility. Game changer number 2 receives a slightly smaller gold label with partial transparency. The candle bars themselves are colored in gold instead of the standard green or red. Horizontal lines extend from the game changer price level to current bar. FILTER APPLICATION Only candles that pass your configured filters qualify for game changer consideration. If wick exclusion is enabled, candles with large wicks and small bodies are ignored. If volume confirmation is enabled, only candles with above-average volume qualify. This ensures game changers represent legitimate market moves rather than aberrations. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADERS Crypto markets experience extreme volatility with occasional massive pump and dump candles that define entire trends. This indicator instantly identifies which candles represent true market structure shifts versus normal noise. Use the game changer levels as key support and resistance for entries, exits, and stop placement. The top pump often marks the local high to watch for breakouts while the top dump marks the local low for reversal trades. FOR DAY TRADERS Intraday charts contain hundreds of candles but only a few truly matter for the session outcome. Game changer detection filters out 98 percent of candles to show you the 2 percent that drove the actual price movement. Enter trades on the side of the strongest recent game changer. Use game changer levels as magnet prices where algorithmic trading often returns. FOR SWING TRADERS On daily and four-hour timeframes, game changers represent major institutional activity or news-driven moves. The top dump often marks capitulation selling that creates reversal opportunities. The top pump often marks FOMO buying that creates resistance levels. Swing traders can build positions knowing these levels will be defended or tested multiple times. FOR VOLATILITY ANALYSIS Understanding which candles created the most volatility helps assess market risk. Multiple game changers clustered together indicate unstable choppy conditions. Game changers separated by many neutral candles indicate trending stable conditions. Use this context to adjust position sizing and stop distances appropriately. FOR SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE TRADING Game changer candles create the strongest support and resistance levels because they represent prices where massive volume transacted in short time periods. These levels have higher probability of holding on retest compared to arbitrary moving averages or pivot points. Trade bounces off game changer levels or breakouts through them. RECOMMENDED SETTINGS BY MARKET CRYPTOCURRENCY 15-MINUTE TO 1-HOUR CHARTS Candle Size Threshold: 2.0 percent Body to Candle Ratio: 0.5 Volume Multiplier: 1.5 times average Game Changer Lookback: 100 bars Extreme Threshold: 3.5 percent Enable Wick Filter: Yes Enable Volume Confirmation: Yes Minimum Rally Candles: 3 STOCKS DAILY CHARTS Candle Size Threshold: 1.0 percent Body to Candle Ratio: 0.6 Volume Multiplier: 2.0 times average Game Changer Lookback: 50 bars Extreme Threshold: 2.5 percent Enable Wick Filter: Yes Enable Volume Confirmation: Yes Minimum Rally Candles: 2 FOREX 1-HOUR TO 4-HOUR CHARTS Candle Size Threshold: 0.5 percent Body to Candle Ratio: 0.5 Volume Multiplier: Not applicable Game Changer Lookback: 80 bars Extreme Threshold: 1.0 percent Enable Wick Filter: Yes Enable Volume Confirmation: No Minimum Rally Candles: 3 SCALPING 1-MINUTE TO 5-MINUTE CHARTS Candle Size Threshold: 0.8 percent Body to Candle Ratio: 0.4 Volume Multiplier: 1.2 times average Game Changer Lookback: 50 bars Extreme Threshold: 1.5 percent Enable Wick Filter: No Enable Volume Confirmation: Yes Minimum Rally Candles: 2 WHAT IS INCLUDED Automatic identification of top 2 pump candles Automatic identification of top 2 dump candles Gold colored game changer labels with size differentiation Gold colored candle bars for game changers Horizontal reference lines from game changers to current price Regular pump and dump detection with green and red candles Rally sequence detection with background highlighting Extreme move detection and labeling system Real-time statistics dashboard with all key metrics Percentage change debug mode for verification Volume confirmation filter with adjustable multiplier Wick exclusion filter with adjustable body ratio Customizable lookback period from 20 to 500 bars Consecutive candle counter for rally tracking Alert system for game changers, pumps, dumps, and rallies Works on all timeframes from 1 minute to monthly Compatible with stocks, forex, cryptocurrency, and futures UNDERSTANDING GAME CHANGERS WHAT MAKES A CANDLE A GAME CHANGER A game changer is not just a large move but the largest move within context. In a volatile crypto market, a 5 percent pump might not rank in the top 2. In a stable stock, a 2 percent pump could be the number 1 game changer. The indicator adapts to your specific instrument and timeframe to find what truly matters in that context. WHY FOCUS ON TOP 2 ONLY Markets are driven by a small number of significant moves rather than the average of all moves. By focusing exclusively on the top 2 in each direction, traders can ignore noise and concentrate on the price levels that actually matter for support, resistance, and momentum. This creates clarity in decision making. GAME CHANGERS AS MARKET STRUCTURE The top pump often marks the recent high that bulls must break to continue uptrend. The top dump often marks the recent low that bears must break to continue downtrend. These become the key levels around which all other price action rotates. Understanding this structure is essential for profitable trading. GAME CHANGERS AS SENTIMENT INDICATORS Consecutive pump game changers signal strong bullish sentiment and FOMO conditions. Consecutive dump game changers signal fear and capitulation. Alternating pump and dump game changers signal indecision and range conditions. Read the pattern of game changers to gauge market psychology. VERIFICATION AND TESTING HOW TO VERIFY ACCURACY Enable Show Debug Info on Chart in the Testing and Debug settings group. This displays the percentage change calculation directly on every qualifying pump and dump candle. Manually verify by calculating open minus close divided by close multiplied by 100. The debug percentage should match your manual calculation exactly. HOW TO TEST FILTERS Toggle wick exclusion filter on and off while watching how many candles qualify. With filter on, candles with long wicks and small bodies should disappear. Toggle volume confirmation on and off to see how low-volume candles get excluded. Adjust the thresholds and watch the real-time impact on signal count. HOW TO VERIFY GAME CHANGERS Look at your chart and visually identify which candle had the biggest green body in the lookback period. The game changer number 1 pump label should be on that exact candle. Repeat for the biggest red candle to verify game changer number 1 dump. The rankings should match your visual assessment. LOOKBACK PERIOD EFFECTS Decrease the lookback period to 20 bars and watch game changers update to only recent moves. Increase to 500 bars and watch game changers potentially change to older historic moves. The optimal lookback balances recency with significance. Too short misses important levels, too long includes irrelevant history. DASHBOARD INFORMATION GUIDE STATUS ROW Shows PUMPING when current candle qualifies as a pump, DUMPING when current candle qualifies as a dump, or NEUTRAL when current candle does not meet threshold requirements. This updates in real-time on every bar close. CURRENT CHANGE ROW Displays the percentage change of the current candle from its previous close. Positive percentages indicate bullish candle, negative indicate bearish candle. This number may or may not meet your threshold to qualify as pump or dump. TOP PUMP NUMBER 1 The highest positive percentage change found in your lookback period. This candle is marked with the large gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 1 label below it. Shows N/A if no pumps exist in the lookback period. TOP PUMP NUMBER 2 The second highest positive percentage change found in your lookback period. Marked with smaller gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 2 label. Shows N/A if only one or zero pumps exist. TOP DUMP NUMBER 1 The highest negative percentage change magnitude found in your lookback period. This candle is marked with the large gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 1 label above it. Shows N/A if no dumps exist. TOP DUMP NUMBER 2 The second highest negative percentage change magnitude found in your lookback period. Marked with smaller gold GAME CHANGER NUMBER 2 label. Shows N/A if only one or zero dumps exist. TOTAL PUMPS Running count of all pump candles detected since you loaded the indicator on this chart. This number continuously increases as new qualifying pumps form. Resets when you reload the chart. TOTAL DUMPS Running count of all dump candles detected since chart load. Increases as new qualifying dumps form and resets on chart reload. CONSECUTIVE Shows the current count of consecutive pump or dump candles during an active rally. Displays 3 UP during a 3-candle pump rally or 5 DN during a 5-candle dump rally. Shows 0 when no rally is active. ALERT SYSTEM GAME CHANGER DETECTED ALERT Triggers whenever the current candle becomes one of the top 2 pumps or top 2 dumps. This is the highest priority alert indicating a market-moving event just occurred. Use this alert for immediate notification of significant opportunities. PUMP DETECTED ALERT Triggers on every candle that qualifies as a pump according to your threshold and filter settings. This includes regular pumps and extreme pumps but excludes game changers which have their separate alert. Use for general upward momentum monitoring. DUMP DETECTED ALERT Triggers on every candle that qualifies as a dump according to your settings. Includes regular and extreme dumps but excludes game changers. Use for general downward momentum monitoring. PUMP RALLY STARTED ALERT Triggers when consecutive pump candles reach your minimum rally threshold. Indicates the beginning of a sustained upward movement sequence. Use to catch trends early. DUMP RALLY STARTED ALERT Triggers when consecutive dump candles reach your minimum rally threshold. Indicates the beginning of a sustained downward movement sequence. Use for trend following or reversal timing. ALERT MESSAGE FORMAT All alerts include the ticker symbol and current price using TradingView placeholders. Messages are descriptive and specify which type of signal triggered. Alerts work with TradingView notification system including email, SMS, webhook, and app notifications. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS CALCULATION METHODOLOGY Percentage change calculated as current close minus previous close divided by previous close multiplied by 100. Body ratio calculated as absolute value of close minus open divided by high minus low. Volume elevation calculated as current volume divided by 20-period simple moving average of volume. Game changer ranking uses absolute value comparison across entire lookback array. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Lightweight calculations optimized for speed on all timeframes. No repainting of signals ensuring all triggers are final on bar close. Variables properly scoped with var keyword for memory efficiency. Maximum bars back set to 500 to prevent excessive historical loading. Updates in real-time on every bar close without lag. COMPATIBILITY Works on all TradingView plans including free, pro, and premium. Compatible with stocks, forex, cryptocurrency, futures, indices, and commodities.

GRG/RGR Signal, MA, Ranges and PivotsThis indicator is a combination of several indicators. It is a combination of two of my indicators which I solely use for trading 1. EMA 10-20-50-200, Pivots and Previous Day/Week/Month range 2. 3/4-Bar GRG / RGR Pattern (Conditional 4th Candle) You can use them individually if you already have some of them or just use this one. Belive me when I say, this is all you need, along with market structure knowlege and even if you don’t have that, this indicator has been doing wonders for me. This is all I use. I do not use anything else. **Note - Do checkout the indicators individually as I have added valuable information in the comment section. It contains the following, 1. 10 EMA/SMA - configurable 2. 20 EMA/SMA - configurable 3. 50 EMA/SMA - configurable 4. 200 EMA/SMA - configurable 5. Previous Day's Range - configurable 6. Previous Week's Range - configurable 7. Previous Month's Range - configurable 8. Pivots - configurable 9. Buy Sell Signal - configurable The Moving Averages It is a very important combination and using it correctly with price action will strengthen your entries and exits. The ema's or sma's added are the most powerful ones and they do definitely act as support and resistance. The Daily/Weekly/Monthly Ranges The Daily/Weekly/Monthly ranges are extremely important for any trader and should be used for targets and reversals. Pivots Pivots can provide support and resistance level. R5 and S5 can be used to check for over stretched conditions. You can customise them however you like. It is a full pivot indicator. It is defaulted to show R5 and S5 only to reduce noise in the chart but it can be customised. The 3/4 RGR or GRG Signal Generator Combined with a 3/4 RGR or GRG setup can be all a trader needs. You don't need complex strategies and SMC concepts to trade. Simple EMAs, ranges and RGR/GRG setup is the most winning combination. This indicator can be used to identify the Green-Red-Green or Red-Green-Red pattern. It is a price action indicator where a price action which identifies the defeat of buyers and sellers. If the buyers comprehensively defeat the sellers then the price moves up and if the sellers defeat the buyers then the price moves down. In my trading experience this is what defines the price movement. It is a 3 or 4 candle pattern, beyond that i.e, 5 or more candles could mean a very sideways market and unnecessary signal generation. How does it work? Upside/Green signal 1. Say candle 1 is Green, which means buyers stepped in, then candle 2 is Red or a Doji, that means sellers brought the price down. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Green and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle, then a green arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade. 2. Here the buyers defeated the sellers. 3. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4. 4. Important - We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves above the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. Ignore wicks. 5. But for a more optimised entry I have added an option to use candle’s highs and lows instead of open and close. This reduces lot of noise and provides us with more precise entry. This setting is turned on by default. 6. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market. 7. I call it the +-+ or GRG pattern or Green-Red-Green or Buyer-Seller-Buyer or Seller defeated or just Buyer pattern. 8. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders (that includes me) or candle 2's body low for risky traders. 9. Back testing suggests that body low will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster. Downside/Red signal 1. Say candle 1 is Red, which means sellers stepped in, then candle 2 is Green or a Doji, that means buyers took the price up. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Red and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle then a Red arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade. 2. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4. 3. We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves below the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. 4. But for a more optimised entry I have added an option to use candle’s highs and lows instead of open and close. This reduces lot of noise and provides us with more precise entry. This setting is turned on by default. 5. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market. 6. I call it the -+- or RGR pattern or Red-Green-Red or Seller-Buyer-Seller or Buyer defeated or just Seller pattern. 7. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders ( that includes me) or candle 2's body high for risky traders. 8. Back testing suggests that body high will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster. Combining Indicators and Signal Combining these indicators with GRG/RGR signal can be very powerful and can provide big moves. 1. MA crossover and Signal - This is very powerful and provides a very big move. Trades can be held for longer. If after taking the trade we notice that the MA crossover has happened then trades can be held for higher targets. 2. Pivots and Signal - Pivots and add a support or resistance point. Take profits on these points. R5/S5 are over streched conditions so we can start looking for reversal signals and ignore other signals 3. Intraday Range - first 1, 5, 15 min of the day - Sideways days is when price will stay in these ranges. You can take profits at these ranges or if the range is broken and we get a signal, then it can mean that the direction will be sustained. 4. Previous Day/Week/Month Ranges - These can be used as Take Profit points if the price is moving towards them after getting the signal. If the range is broken and we get a signal then it can be a strong signal. They can also be used as reversal points if a strong signal is generated. Important Settings 1. Include 4th Candle Confirmation - You can enable or disable the 4th candle signal to avoid the noise, but at times I have noticed that the 4th candle gives a very strong signal or I can say that the strong signal falls on the 4th candle. This is mostly a coincidence. 2. Bars to check (default 10) - You can also configure how many previous bars should the signal be generated for. 10 to 30 is good enough. To backtest increase it to 2000 or 5000 for example. 3. Use Candle High/Low for confirmation instead of Candle Open/Close - More optimized entry and noise reduction. This option is now defaulted to false. 4. Show Green-Red-Green (bull) signals - Show only bull entries. Useful when I have a predefined view i.e, I know market is going to go up today. 5. Show Red-Green-Red (bear) signals - Show only bear entries. Useful when I have a predefined view i.e, I know market is going to go down today. 6. 3rd candle should be a Strong candle before considering 4th candle - This will enforce additional logic in 4 candle setup that the 3rd candle is the candle in our direction of breakout. This means something like GRGG is mandatory, which is still the default behaviour. If disabled, the 3rd candle can be any candle and 4th candle will act as our breakout candle. This behaviour has led to breakouts and breakdowns as times, hence I added this as a separate feature. Vice-versa for a RGGR. For a 4 candle setup till now we were expecting GRGG or RGRR but we can let the system ignore the 3rd candle completely if needed. This will result in additional signals. 7. Three intraday ranges added for index and stock traders - 1 min, 5 min and 15 min ranges will be displayed. These are disabled by default except 15 min. These are very important ranges and in sideways days the price will usually move within the 15 min. A breakout of this range and a positive signal can be a very powerful setup. Safe traders can avoid taking a trade in this range as it can lead to fakeouts. The line style, width, color and opacity are configurable. Pointers/Golden Rules 1. If after taking the trade, the next candle moves in your direction and closes strong bullish or bearish, then move SL to break even and after that you can trail it. 2. If a upside trade hits SL and immediately a down side trade signal is generated on the next candle then take it. Vice versa is true. 3. Trades need to be taken on previous 2 candle's body high or low combined and not the wicks. 4. The most losses a trader takes is on a sideways day and because in our strategy the stop loss is so small that even on a sideways day we'll get out with a little profit or worst break even. 5. Hold trades for longer targets and don't panic. 6. If last 3-4 days have been sideways then there is a good probability that today will be trending so we can hold our trade for longer targets. Inverse is true when the market has been trending for 2-3 days then volatility followed by sideways is coming (DOW theory). Target to hold the trade for whole day and not exit till the day closes. 7. In general avoid trading in the middle of the day for index and stocks. Divide the day into 3 parts and avoid the middle. 8. Use Support/Resistance, 10, 20, 50, 200 EMA/SMA, Gaps, Whole/Round numbers(very imp) for identifying targets. 9. Trail your SL. 10. For indexes I would use 5 min and 15 min timeframe and at times 10 mins. 11. For commodities and crypto we can use higher timeframe as well. Look for signals during volatile time durations and avoid trading the whole day. Signal usually gives good targets on those times. 12. If a GRG or RGR pattern appears on a daily timeframe then this is our time to go big. 13. Minimum Risk to Reward should be 1:2 and for longer targets can be 1:4 to 1:10. 14. Trade with small lot size. Money management will happen automatically. 15. With small lot size and correct Risk-Reward we can be very profitable. Don't trade with big lot size. 16. Stay in the market for longer and collect points not money. 17. Very imp - Watch market and learn to generate a market view. 18. Very imp - Only 3 type of candles are needed in trading - Strong Bullish (Big Green candle), Strong Bearish (Big Red candle), Hammer (it is Strong Bullish), Inverse Hammer (it is Strong Bearish) and Doji (indecision or confusion). If on daily timeframe I see Strong Bullish candle previous day then I am biased to the upside the next day, if I see Strong Bearish candle the previous day then I am biased to the downside the next day, if I see Doji on the previous day then I am cautious the next day, if there are back to back Dojis forming in daily or weekly then I am preparing for big move so time to go big once I get the signal. 19. Most Important Candlestick pattern - Bullish and Bearish Engulfing 20. The only Chart patterns I need - 
 a) Falling Wedge/Channel Bullish Pattern Uptrend or Bull Flag - Buying - Forming over a couple days for intraday and forming over a couple of weeks for swing 
 b) Falling Wedge/Channel Bullish Pattern Downtrend or Falling Channel - Buying
 c) Rising Wedge Bearish Pattern Uptrend or Rising Channel - Selling
 d) Rising Wedge Bearish Pattern Downtrend or Bear flag - Selling e) Head and Shoulder - Over a longer period not for intraday. In 15 min takes few days and for swing 1hr or 4h or daily can take few days 
f) M and W pattern - Reversal Patterns - They form within the above 4 patterns, usually resulting in the break of trend line 21. How Gaps work - 
 a) Small Gap up in Uptrend - Market can fill the gap and reverse. The perception is that people are buying. If previous day candle was Strong Bullish then market view is up.
 b) Big Gap up in Uptrend - Not news driven - Profit booking will come but may not fill the entire gap
 c) Big Gap up in Uptrend - News driven, war related, tax, interest rate - Market can keep going up without stopping.
 c) Flat opening in Uptrend - Big chance of market going up. If previous day candle was Strong Bullish then view is upwards, if it was Doji then still upwards.
 d) Gap down in Uptrend - Market is surprised. After going down initially it can go up
 e) Small Gap down in Downtrend - Market can fill the gap and keep moving down. If previous day candle was Strong Bearish then view is still down.
 f) Flat opening in Downtrend - View is down, short today.
 g) Big Gap down in Downtrend - Profit booking and foolish buying will come but market view is still down.
 h) Gap down with News - Volatility, sideways then down. 
 i) Gap Up in Downtrend - Can move up - Price can move up during 2/3rd of the day and End of the day revert and close in red. 22. Go big on bearish days for option traders. Puts are better bought and Calls are better sold. 23. Cluster of green signals can lead to bigger move on the upside and vice versa for red signals. 24. Most of this is what I learned from successful traders (from the top 2%) only the indicator is mine.

3/4-Bar GRG / RGR Pattern (Conditional 4th Candle)This indicator can be used to identify the Green-Red-Green or Red-Green-Red pattern. It is a price action indicator where a price action which identifies the defeat of buyers and sellers. If the buyers comprehensively defeat the sellers then the price moves up and if the sellers defeat the buyers then the price moves down. In my trading experience this is what defines the price movement. It is a 3 or 4 candle pattern, beyond that i.e, 5 or more candles could mean a very sideways market and unnecessary signal generation. How does it work? Upside/Green signal Say candle 1 is Green, which means buyers stepped in, then candle 2 is Red or a Doji, that means sellers brought the price down. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Green and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle, then a green arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade. Here the buyers defeated the sellers. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4. Important - We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves above the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. Ignore wicks. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market. I call it the +-+ or GRG pattern. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders (that includes me) or candle 2's body low for risky traders. Back testing suggests that body low will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster. Downside/Red signal Say candle 1 is Red, which means sellers stepped in, then candle 2 is Green or a Doji, that means buyers took the price up. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Red and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle then a Red arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4. We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves below the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market. I call it the -+- or RGR pattern. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders ( that includes me) or candle 2's body high for risky traders. Back testing suggests that body high will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.

This is mostly a coincidence. You can also configure how many previous bars should the signal be generated for. 10 to 30 is good enough. To backtest increase it to 2000 or 5000 for example. Rest are self explanatory.

Red "SHORT" Label: Valid breakdown below ORB with trend confirmation. Blocked (debug text): Signal suppressed by filters (low volume, too late, no retest, etc.). 🎯 Trade Management Default R:R is 2:1 (stop at ORB edge, TP projected). For manual trading (e.g., Webull, IBKR), you can use the plotted TP/SL boxes directly. Fibonacci + Golden Pocket give additional profit-taking levels and retest filters. ✅ Best Practices Use 15m chart for main ORB entries. Confirm direction with HTF trend (45m EMA by default). Avoid signals blocked by “Low Volume” or “Too Late” (debug helps identify). Adjust ORB % range for asset volatility (tight for ETFs, wider for futures). 🚀 Why ORB Pro? This is more than a standard ORB indicator. It’s a professional breakout system with filters designed to avoid false breakouts, automatically handle risk/reward, and guide traders with clear visual signals. Perfect for both systematic day traders and discretionary scalpers who want structure and confidence. 👉 Recommended starting point: Load defaults → trade the 15m ORB with EMA + HTF filters on → let the script handle retests and stop/target placement.

Intraday Momentum for Volatile Stocks 29.09The strategy targets intraday momentum breakouts in volatile stocks when the broader market (Nifty) is in an uptrend. It enters long positions when stocks move significantly above their daily opening price with sufficient volume confirmation, then manages the trade using dynamic ATR-based stops and profit targets. Entry Conditions Price Momentum Filter: The stock must move at least 2.5% above its daily opening price, indicating strong bullish momentum. This percentage threshold is customizable and targets gap-up scenarios or strong intraday breakouts. Volume Confirmation: Daily cumulative volume must exceed the 20-day average volume, ensuring institutional participation and genuine momentum. This prevents false breakouts on low volume. Market Regime Filter: The Nifty index must be trading above its 50-day SMA, indicating a favorable market environment for momentum trades. This macro filter helps avoid trades during bearish market conditions. Money Flow Index: MFI must be above 50, confirming buying pressure and positive money flow into the stock. This adds another layer of momentum confirmation. Time Restriction: Trades are only initiated before 3:00 PM to ensure sufficient time for position management and avoid end-of-day volatility. Exit Management ATR Trailing Stop Loss: Uses a 3x ATR multiplier for dynamic stop-loss placement that trails higher highs, protecting profits while giving trades room to breathe. The trailing mechanism locks in gains as the stock moves favorably. Profit Target: Set at 4x ATR above the entry price, providing a favorable risk-reward ratio based on the stock's volatility characteristics. This adaptive approach adjusts targets based on individual stock behavior. Position Reset: Both stops and targets reset when not in a position, ensuring fresh calculations for each new trade. Key Strengths Volatility Adaptation: The ATR-based approach automatically adjusts risk parameters to match current market volatility levels. Higher volatility stocks get wider stops, while calmer stocks get tighter management. Multi-Timeframe Filtering: Combines intraday price action with daily volume patterns and market regime analysis for robust signal generation. Risk Management Focus: The strategy prioritizes capital preservation through systematic stop-loss placement and position sizing considerations. Considerations for NSE Trading This strategy appears well-suited for NSE intraday momentum trading, particularly for mid-cap and small-cap stocks that exhibit high volatility. The Nifty filter helps align trades with broader market sentiment, which is crucial in the Indian market context where sectoral and index movements strongly influence individual stocks. The 2.5% threshold above open price is appropriate for volatile NSE stocks, though traders might consider adjusting this parameter based on the specific stocks being traded. The strategy's emphasis on volume confirmation is particularly valuable in the NSE environment where retail participation can create misleading price movements without institutional backin

Katz Impact Wave 🚀Overview of the Katz Impact Wave 🚀 The Katz Impact Wave is a momentum oscillator designed to visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. Instead of combining bullish and bearish pressure into a single line, it separates them into two distinct "Impact Waves." Its primary goal is to generate clear trade signals by identifying when one side gains control, but only when the market has enough volatility to be considered "moving." This built-in filter helps to avoid signals during flat or choppy market conditions. Indicator Components: Lines & Plots Impact Waves & Fill Green Wave (Total Up Impulses): This line represents the cumulative buying pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bulls are getting stronger. Red Wave (Total Down Impulses): This line represents the cumulative selling pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bears are getting stronger. Colored Fill: The shaded area between the two waves provides an at-a-glance view of who is in control. Lime Fill: Bulls are dominant (Green Wave is above the Red Wave). Red Fill: Bears are dominant (Red Wave is above the Green Wave). Background Color The background color provides crucial context about the market state according to the indicator's logic. Green Background: The market is in a bullish state (Green Wave is dominant) AND the Rate of Change (ROC) filter confirms the market is actively moving. Red Background: The market is in a bearish state (Red Wave is dominant) AND the ROC filter confirms the market is actively moving. Gray Background: The market is considered "not moving" or is in a low-volatility chop. Signals that occur when the background is gray should be viewed with extreme caution or ignored. Symbols & Pivot Lines ▲ Blue Triangle (Up): This is your long entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Green Wave crosses above the Red Wave while the market is moving. ▼ Orange Triangle (Down): This is your short entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Red Wave crosses above the Green Wave while the market is moving. Pivot Lines (Solid Green/Red/White Lines): These lines mark confirmed peaks of exhaustion in momentum, not price. Green Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Green Wave, signaling buying momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the uptrend is losing steam. Red Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Red Wave, signaling selling momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the downtrend is losing steam. ▼ Yellow Triangle (Compression): This rare signal appears when buying and selling exhaustion pivots happen at the same level. It signifies a point of extreme indecision or equilibrium that often occurs before a major price expansion. Trading Rules & Strategy This indicator provides entry signals but does not provide explicit Take Profit or Stop Loss levels. You must use your own risk management rules. Long Trade Rules Entry Signal: Wait for a blue ▲ triangle to appear at the top of the indicator panel. Confirmation: Ensure the background color is green, confirming the market is in a bullish, moving state. Action: Enter a long (buy) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears. Short Trade Rules Entry Signal: Wait for an orange ▼ triangle to appear at the bottom of the indicator panel. Confirmation: Ensure the background color is red, confirming the market is in a bearish, moving state. Action: Enter a short (sell) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears. Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL) Ideas You must develop and test your own exit strategy. Here are some common approaches: Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart for a long trade, or above the recent swing high for a short trade. Use an ATR (Average True Range) based stop, such as 2x the ATR value below your entry for a long, to account for market volatility. Take Profit: Opposite Signal: The simplest exit is to close your trade when the opposite signal appears (e.g., close a long trade when a short signal ▼ appears). Momentum Exhaustion: For a long trade, consider taking partial or full profit when a green Pivot Line appears, signaling that buying momentum is peaking. Fixed Risk/Reward: Use a predetermined risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2). Disclaimer This indicator is a tool for analysis, not a financial advisor or a guaranteed profit system. All trading and investment activities involve substantial risk. You should not risk more than you are prepared to lose. Past performance is not an indication of future results. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions, risk management, and for backtesting this or any other tool before using it in a live trading environment.

Strategy 1: Classic Crossover - Entry Long: RSI crosses above the Signal Line AND RSI is below 50. - Entry Short: RSI crosses below the Signal Line AND RSI is above 50. - Take Profit: On the opposite signal. - Stop Loss: At the recent swing high/low. Strategy 2: Extreme Zone Reversal - Entry Long: RSI is below 30 and crosses above the Signal Line. - Entry Short: RSI is above 70 and crosses below the Signal Line. - Risk Management: Higher win rate but fewer signals. Use a minimum 2:1 risk-reward ratio. Strategy 3: Divergence Trading - Setup: Enable divergence alerts and look for price/RSI divergence. Wait for an RSI crossover for confirmation. - Entry: Enter on the crossover after the divergence appears. Place the stop loss beyond the starting point of the divergence. Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Confirmation 1. Check the higher timeframe e.g. Daily to identify the main trend. 2. Use the current timeframe e.g. 4H/1H for your entry. 3. Only enter in the direction of the main trend. 4. Use the RSI crossover as the entry trigger. Optimal Settings by Market - Forex Major Pairs RSI Length: 14, Signal Length: 9, Overbought/Oversold: 70/30 - Crypto High Volatility RSI Length: 10-12, Signal Length: 6-8, Overbought/Oversold: 75/25 - Stocks Trending RSI Length: 14-21, Signal Length: 9-12, Overbought/Oversold: 70/30 - Commodities RSI Length: 14, Signal Length: 9, Overbought/Oversold: 80/20 Risk Management Rules 1. Position Sizing: Never risk more than 1-2% on a single trade. Reduce size in ranging markets. 2. Stop Loss Placement: Place stops beyond the recent swing high/low for crossovers. Using an ATR-based stop is also effective. 3. Profit Taking: Take partial profits at a 1:1 risk-reward ratio. Switch to a trailing stop after reaching 2:1. 1. Filtering Signals - Combine with volume indicators. - Confirm the trend on a higher timeframe. - Wait for candlestick pattern confirmation. 2. Avoid Common Mistakes - Don't trade every single crossover. - Avoid taking signals against a strong trend. - Do not ignore risk management. 3. Market Conditions - Trending Market: Focus on midline 50 crosses. - Ranging Market: Look for reversals from overbought/oversold levels. - Volatile Market: Widen the overbought/oversold levels. - If you get too many false signals: Increase the signal line period, add other confirmation indicators, or use a higher timeframe. - If you are missing major moves: Decrease the RSI length, shorten the signal line period, or check your alert settings. Recommended Combinations 1. RSI + MACD: For dual momentum confirmation. 2. RSI + Bollinger Bands: For volatility-adjusted signals. 3. RSI + Volume: To confirm the strength of a signal. 4. RSI + Moving Averages: To use as a trend filter. This indicator provides a comprehensive RSI analysis. Success depends on proper configuration, risk management, and combining signals with the overall market context. Start with the default settings, then optimize based on your trading style and market conditions.

Market Pulse Dip RadarThis indicator is designed to help traders spot meaningful dips in price and then evaluate whether those dips are worth trading or not. It doesn’t just mark a dip; it also helps with risk management, trade planning, and filtering out weak signals. Here’s how it works: First, it looks at the recent high price and checks how much the market has dropped from that high. If the drop is larger than the minimum percentage you set, it marks it as a potential dip. Next, it checks the trend structure by using two moving averages (a fast one and a slow one). If the fast average is below the slow average, it means the market is in a weaker structure, and that dip is considered more valid. On top of that, you can enable a multi-timeframe filter. For example, if you are trading on the 15-minute chart, you can ask the indicator to confirm that the 1-hour trend is also supportive before showing you a dip. This helps avoid trading against the bigger trend. Risk management is built in. The indicator automatically suggests a stop-loss by combining volatility (ATR) and recent swing lows. It then draws three profit target levels (1x risk, 2x risk, and 3x risk). This makes it easier to plan where to exit if the trade works. A key part of this tool is the confidence score. Each dip signal is rated from 0 to 100. The score depends on how deep the dip is, how far apart the moving averages are, how healthy volatility is, and whether the higher timeframe supports the trade. The score is then labeled as High, Medium, Low, or Wait. This helps traders focus only on the stronger setups. On the chart, dip signals are marked with a diamond shape under the bars. The color of the diamond tells you if it’s high, medium, or low quality. When a signal appears, the indicator also plots horizontal lines for the entry, stop, and targets. To make it easier to read, there is also a dashboard box that shows the current score, quality, dip percentage, and suggested stop-loss. This means you don’t have to calculate or check different things yourself – everything is visible in one place. Finally, it comes with alerts. You can set alerts for when a dip signal happens, or when it’s medium or high confidence. This way, you don’t need to stare at charts all day; TradingView can notify you. So in short, this tool: • Finds dips based on your rules. • Filters them using structure, volatility, and higher timeframe trend. • Suggests stop-loss and profit targets. • Rates each dip with a confidence score. • Shows all this info in a clean dashboard and alerts you when it happens. 👉 Do you want me to now explain how a trader would actually use it in practice (step by step, from signal to trade)?

Range TableThe Range Table indicator calculates and displays the Daily Average True Range (ATR), the current day's True Range (TR), and two customizable ATR percentage values in a clean table format. It provides values in ticks, points, and USD, helping traders set stop-loss buffers based on market volatility. **Features:** - Displays the Daily ATR (14-period) and current day's True Range (TR) with its percentage of the Daily ATR. - Includes two customizable ATR percentages (default: 75% and 10%, with the second disabled by default). - Shows values in ticks, points, and USD based on the symbol's tick size and point value. - Customizable table position, background color, text color, and font size. - Toggle visibility for the table and percentage rows via input settings. **How to Use:** 1. Add the indicator to your chart. 2. Adjust the table position, colors, and font size in the input settings. 3. Enable or disable the 75% and 10% ATR rows or customize their percentages. 4. Use the displayed values to set stop-loss or take-profit levels based on volatility. **Ideal For:** - Day traders and swing traders looking to set volatility-based stop-losses. - Users analyzing tick, point, and USD-based risk metrics. **Notes:** - Ensure your chart is set to a timeframe that aligns with the daily ATR calculations. - USD values are approximate if `syminfo.pointvalue` is unavailable.

Canuck Trading Traders Strategy [Candle Entropy Edition]Canuck Trading Traders Strategy: A Unique Entropy-Based Day Trading System for Volatile Stocks Overview The Canuck Trading Traders Strategy is a custom, entropy-driven day trading system designed for high-volatility stocks like TSLA on short timeframes (e.g., 15m). At its core is CETP-Plus, a proprietary blended indicator that measures "order from chaos" in candle patterns using Shannon entropy, while embedding mathematical principles from EMA (recent weighting), RSI (momentum bias), ATR (volatility scaling), and ADX (trend strength) into a single score. This unique approach avoids layering multiple indicators, reducing complexity while improving timing for early trend detection and balanced long/short trades. CETP-Plus calculates a score from weighted candle ratios (body, upper/lower wicks) binned into a 3D histogram for entropy (low entropy = strong pattern). The score is adjusted with momentum, volatility, and trend multipliers for robust signals. Entries occur when the score exceeds thresholds (positive for longs, negative for shorts), with exits on reversals or stops. The strategy is automatic—no manual bias needed—and optimized for margin accounts with equal long/short treatment. Backtested on TSLA 15m (Jan 2015–Aug 2025), it targets +50,000% net profit (beating +1,478% buy-hold by 34x) with ~25,000 trades, 85-90% win rate, and <10% drawdown (with costs). Results vary by timeframe/period—test with your data and add slippage/commission for realism. Disclaimer: Past performance isn't indicative of future results; consult a financial advisor. Key Features CETP-Plus Indicator: Blends entropy with momentum/vol/trend for a single score, capturing bottoms/squeezes and trends without external tools. Automatic Balance: Positive scores trigger longs in bull trends, negative scores trigger shorts in bear trends—no user input for direction. Customizable Math: Tune weights and scales to adapt for different stocks (e.g., lower thresholds for NVDA's smoother trends). Risk Controls: Stop-loss, trailing stops, and score strength filter to minimize drawdowns in volatile markets like TSLA. Exit Debugging: Plots exit reasons ("Stop Loss", "Trail Stop", "CETP Exit") for analysis. Input Settings and Purposes All inputs are grouped in TradingView's Inputs tab for ease. Defaults are optimized for TSLA 15m day trading; adjust for other intervals or tickers (e.g., increase window for 1h, lower thresholds for NVDA). CETP-Plus Settings CETP Window (default: 5, min: 3, max: 20): Lookback bars for entropy/momentum. Short values (3-5) for fast sensitivity on short frames; longer (8-10) for stability on hourly+. CETP Bins per Dimension (default: 3, min: 3, max: 10): Histogram granularity for entropy. Low (3) for speed/simple patterns; high (5+) for detail in complex markets. Long Threshold (default: 0.15, min: 0.1, max: 0.8, step: 0.05): CETP score for long entries. Lower (0.1) for more longs in mild bull trends; higher (0.2) to filter noise. Short Threshold (default: -0.05, min: -0.8, max: -0.1, step: 0.05): CETP score for short entries. Less negative (-0.05) for more shorts in mild bear trends; more negative (-0.2) for strong signals. CETP Momentum Weight (default: 0.8, min: 0.1, max: 1.0, step: 0.1): Emphasizes momentum in score. High (0.9) for aggressive in fast moves; low (0.5) for entropy focus. Momentum Scale (default: 1.6, min: 0.1, max: 2.0, step: 0.1): Amplifies momentum. High (2.0) for short intervals; low (1.0) for stability. Body Ratio Weight (default: 1.2, min: 0.0, max: 2.0, step: 0.1): Weights candle body in entropy (trend focus). High (1.5) for strong trends; low (0.8) for wick emphasis. Upper Wick Ratio Weight (default: 0.8, min: 0.0, max: 2.0, step: 0.1): Weights upper wick (reversal noise). Low (0.5) to reduce false ups. Lower Wick Ratio Weight (default: 0.8, min: 0.0, max: 2.0, step=0.1): Weights lower wick. Low (0.5) to reduce false downs. Trade Settings Confirmation Bars (default: 0, min: 0, max: 5): Bars for sustained CETP signals. 0 for immediate entries (more trades); 1-2 for reliability (fewer but stronger). Min CETP Score Strength (default: 0.04, min: 0.0, max: 0.5, step: 0.05): Min absolute score for entry. Low (0.04) for more trades; high (0.15) for quality. Risk Management Stop Loss (%) (default: 0.5, min: 0.1, max: 5.0, step: 0.1): % from entry for stop. Tight (0.4) for quick exits; wide (0.8) for trends. ATR Multiplier (default: 1.5, min: 0.5, max: 3.0, step: 0.1): Scales ATR for stops/trails. Low (1.0) for tight; high (2.0) for room. Trailing ATR Mult (default: 3.5, min: 0.5, max: 5.0, step: 0.1): ATR mult for trails. High (4.0) for longer holds; low (2.0) for profits. Trail Start Offset (%) (default: 1.0, min: 0.5, max: 2.0, step: 0.1): % profit before trailing. Low (0.8) for early lock-in; high (1.5) for bigger moves. These settings enable customization for intervals/tickers while CETP-Plus handles automatic balancing.
