OTE & A-B-C Zone Indicator SwiftEdgeOTE & A-B-C Zone Indicator SwiftEdge
Overview
The OTE & A-B-C Zone Indicator SwiftEdge is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify high-probability trading setups using a combination of Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zones, Fibonacci levels, and A-B-C price patterns. This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on price action and Fibonacci-based strategies to find entry points, set stop-losses, and target potential take-profit levels. By integrating swing point detection, trend analysis, and Fibonacci projections, SwiftEdge provides a clear visual framework for making informed trading decisions across various timeframes.
What It Does
SwiftEdge identifies key price levels and zones to guide your trading:
OTE Zone: Highlights the Optimal Trade Entry zone between swing points A (swing high) and B (swing low) using Fibonacci retracement levels (default: 0.618 to 0.786). This zone represents a high-probability area for price reversals, making it an ideal entry point for trades.
A-B-C Pattern: Marks the latest swing points as A (swing high), B (swing low), and C (projected take-profit level) with dashed lines and labels. A solid line connects A to B to C, visually illustrating the price movement from entry to target.
Take-Profit Zones: Projects three customizable take-profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3) based on Fibonacci extensions (default: 1.272, 1.618, 2.0) from the A-B swing, helping traders plan exits with favorable risk-reward ratios.
How It Works
SwiftEdge combines several technical components to create a cohesive trading system:
Swing Point Detection: Identifies significant swing highs (A) and swing lows (B) using a dynamic lookback period that adjusts to the selected timeframe. On lower timeframes like 1-minute charts, an ATR-based filter reduces noise by requiring price movements to exceed a threshold (0.5 * ATR(14)).
Trend Analysis: Uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to determine the trend direction (default: 50-period EMA on 1H). The indicator marks uptrends (price above EMA) in green and downtrends (price below EMA) in red, ensuring trades align with the market's direction.
Fibonacci Levels: Applies Fibonacci retracement to define the OTE zone between A and B, and Fibonacci extensions to project take-profit levels (C) beyond the initial swing. This approach leverages the natural tendency of markets to respect Fibonacci ratios for reversals and extensions.
Visual Clarity: Displays only the latest A-B-C pattern with three dashed lines (A, B, C) and a solid connecting line, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered and easy to interpret.
The combination of these elements creates a structured setup where the OTE zone (between A and B) serves as an entry point, while the projected C level offers a target, all within the context of the prevailing trend. This synergy makes SwiftEdge a powerful tool for traders seeking to combine price action, trend analysis, and Fibonacci strategies.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Apply the indicator to your chart via TradingView's indicator menu.
Identify the Trend: The OTE zone and A-B-C pattern will be colored green in uptrends (price above EMA) or red in downtrends (price below EMA). Use this to determine the market direction.
Entry Point: Look for price reversals within the OTE zone (between A and B). This zone is typically between the 0.618 and 0.786 Fibonacci retracement levels of the A-B swing, making it a high-probability area for entries.
Stop-Loss: Place your stop-loss below the OTE zone in an uptrend (or above in a downtrend) to protect against false breakouts.
Take-Profit Targets: Use the projected take-profit zones (TP1, TP2, TP3) as potential exit levels. These are based on Fibonacci extensions and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Customization:
Adjust the Fibonacci levels for the OTE zone (Fibonacci Level 1 and Fibonacci Level 2) to suit your strategy.
Modify the take-profit levels (Fibonacci Extension Level for TP1/TP2/TP3) to target different extension ratios.
Change the lookback period (Base Lookback Period) and EMA period (Base EMA Period) to fine-tune swing point detection and trend sensitivity.
Customize colors for uptrends, downtrends, and A-B-C lines to match your preferences.
What Makes It Unique
SwiftEdge stands out by integrating swing point detection, Fibonacci-based OTE zones, and A-B-C price patterns into a single, visually intuitive indicator. Unlike standalone Fibonacci tools or trend indicators, SwiftEdge combines these elements to provide a complete trading setup: it identifies entry zones (OTE), confirms trend direction (EMA), and projects take-profit targets (Fibonacci extensions). The dynamic timeframe adjustment ensures consistent performance across all chart intervals, while the clean A-B-C visualization (with only the latest pattern displayed) prevents chart clutter, making it easier to focus on the most relevant price levels.
Notes
This indicator is designed for traders familiar with price action and Fibonacci strategies. It does not guarantee profits and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools and proper risk management.
Performance may vary depending on market conditions and timeframe. Test the indicator on a demo account before using it in live trading.

BONK 1H Long Volatility StrategyGrok 1hr bonk strategy:
Key Changes and Why They’re Made
1. Indicator Adjustments
Moving Averages:
Fast MA: Changed to 5 periods (from, e.g., 9 on a higher timeframe).
Slow MA: Changed to 13 periods (from, e.g., 21).
Why: Shorter periods make the moving averages more sensitive to quick price changes on the 1-hour chart, helping identify trends faster.
ATR (Average True Range):
Length: Set to 10 periods (down from, e.g., 14).
Multiplier: Reduced to 1.5 (from, e.g., 2.0).
Why: A shorter ATR length tracks recent volatility better, and a lower multiplier lets the strategy catch smaller price swings, which are more common hourly.
RSI:
Kept at 14 periods with an overbought level of 70.
Why: RSI stays the same to filter out overbought conditions, maintaining consistency with the original strategy.
2. Entry Conditions
Trend: Requires the fast MA to be above the slow MA, ensuring a bullish direction.
Volatility: The candle’s range (high - low) must exceed 1.5 times the ATR, confirming a significant move.
Momentum: RSI must be below 70, avoiding entries at potential peaks.
Price: The close must be above the fast MA, signaling a pullback or trend continuation.
Why: These conditions are tightened to capture frequent volatility spikes while filtering out noise, which is more prevalent on a 1-hour chart.
3. Exit Strategy
Profit Target: Default is 5% (adjustable from 3-7%).
Stop-Loss: Default is 3% (adjustable from 1-5%).
Why: These levels remain conservative to lock in gains quickly and limit losses, suitable for the faster pace of a 1-hour timeframe.
4. Risk Management
The strategy may trigger more trades on a 1-hour chart. To avoid overtrading:
The ATR filter ensures only volatile moves are traded.
Trading fees (e.g., 0.5% on Coinbase) reduce the net profit to ~4% on winners and -3.5% on losers, requiring a win rate above 47% for profitability.
Suggestion: Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade to manage exposure.
5. Visuals and Alerts
Plots: Blue fast MA, red slow MA, and green triangles for buy signals.
Alerts: Trigger when an entry condition is met, so you don’t need to watch the chart constantly.
How to Use the Strategy
Setup:
Load TradingView, select BONK/USD on the 1-hour chart (Coinbase pair).
Paste the script into the Pine Editor and add it to your chart.
Customize:
Adjust the profit target (e.g., 5%) and stop-loss (e.g., 3%) to your preference.
Tweak ATR or MA lengths if BONK’s volatility shifts.
Trade:
Look for green triangle signals and confirm with market context (e.g., volume or news).
Enter trades manually or via TradingView’s broker tools if supported.
Exit when the profit target or stop-loss is hit.
Test:
Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to backtest on historical data and refine settings.
Benefits of the 1-Hour Timeframe
Faster Opportunities: Captures shorter-term uptrends in BONK’s volatile price action.
Responsive: Adjusted indicators react quickly to hourly changes.
Conservative: Maintains the 3-7% profit goal with tight risk control.
Potential Challenges
Noise: The 1-hour chart has more false signals. The ATR and MA filters help, but caution is needed.
Fees: Frequent trading increases costs, so ensure each trade’s potential justifies the expense.
Volatility: BONK can move unpredictably—monitor broader market trends or Solana ecosystem news.
Final Thoughts
Switching to a 1-hour timeframe makes the strategy more active, targeting shorter volatility spikes while keeping profits conservative at 3-7%. The adjusted indicators and conditions balance responsiveness with reliability. Backtest it on TradingView to confirm it suits BONK’s behavior, and always use proper risk management, as meme coins are highly speculative.
Disclaimer: This is for educational purposes, not financial advice. Cryptocurrency trading, especially with assets like BONK, is risky. Test thoroughly and trade responsibly.

Warnings: Note orange crosses (suppression_bear) or yellow crosses (suppression_bull).
3. Confirm the Signal
For Strong Bullish Divergence (Buy):
Green triangle appears.
Price closes above the 5-day SMA (purple line) and a recent swing high.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) exceeds the threshold (yellow line).
For Strong Bearish Divergence (Sell):
Red triangle appears.
Price closes below the 5-day SMA and a recent swing low.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) falls below the threshold (yellow line).
4. Enter the Trade
Long:
Buy at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Below the recent swing low or 2 × ATR(14) below entry.
Short:
Sell/short at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Above the recent swing high or 2 × ATR(14) above entry.
5. Manage the Trade
Take Profit:
Aim for a 2:1 or 3:1 risk-reward ratio (e.g., risk $0.05, target $0.10-$0.15).
Or exit when an opposite suppression signal appears (e.g., orange cross for longs).
Trailing Stop:
Move stop to breakeven after a 1:1 RR move.
Trail using the 5-day SMA or 2 × ATR(14).
Early Exit:
Exit if a suppression signal appears against your position (e.g., suppression_bull while short).

RSI Failure Swing Pattern (with Alerts & Targets)RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator – Detailed Description
Overview
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a trend reversal detection tool based on the principles of failure swings in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator identifies key reversal signals by analyzing RSI swings and confirming trend shifts using predefined overbought and oversold conditions.
Failure swing patterns are one of the strongest RSI-based reversal signals, initially introduced by J. Welles Wilder. This indicator detects these patterns and provides clear buy/sell signals with labeled entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels. The tool is designed to work across all timeframes and assets.
How the Indicator Works
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern consists of two key structures:
1. Bullish Failure Swing (Buy Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters oversold territory (below 30), recovers, forms a higher low above the oversold level, and finally breaks above the intermediate swing high in RSI.
Step 1: RSI dips below 30 (oversold condition).
Step 2: RSI rebounds and forms a local peak.
Step 3: RSI retraces but does not go below the previous low (higher low confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks above the previous peak, confirming a bullish trend reversal.
Buy signal is triggered at the breakout above the RSI peak.
2. Bearish Failure Swing (Sell Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters overbought territory (above 70), declines, forms a lower high below the overbought level, and then breaks below the intermediate swing low in RSI.
Step 1: RSI rises above 70 (overbought condition).
Step 2: RSI declines and forms a local trough.
Step 3: RSI bounces but fails to exceed the previous high (lower high confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks below the previous trough, confirming a bearish trend reversal.
Sell signal is triggered at the breakdown below the RSI trough.
Features of the Indicator
Custom RSI Settings: Adjustable RSI length (default 14), overbought/oversold levels.
Buy & Sell Signals: Buy/sell signals are plotted directly on the price chart.
Entry, Stop-Loss, and Profit Targets:
Entry: Price at the breakout of the RSI failure swing pattern.
Stop-Loss: Lowest low (for buy) or highest high (for sell) of the previous two bars.
Profit Targets: Two levels calculated based on Risk-Reward ratios (1:1 and 1:2 by default, customizable).
Labeled Price Levels:
Entry Price Line (Blue): Marks the point of trade entry.
Stop-Loss Line (Red): Shows the calculated stop-loss level.
Target 1 Line (Orange): Profit target at 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Target 2 Line (Green): Profit target at 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Alerts for Trade Execution:
Buy/Sell signals trigger alerts for real-time notifications.
Alerts fire when price reaches stop-loss or profit targets.
Works on Any Timeframe & Asset: Suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, indices, and commodities.
Why Use This Indicator?
Highly Reliable Reversal Signals: Unlike simple RSI overbought/oversold strategies, failure swings filter out false breakouts and provide strong confirmation of trend reversals.
Risk Management Built-In: Stop-loss and take-profit levels are automatically set based on historical price action and risk-reward considerations.
Easy-to-Use Visualization: Clearly marked entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels make it beginner-friendly while still being valuable for experienced traders.
How to Trade with the Indicator
Buy Trade Example (Bullish Failure Swing)
RSI drops below 30 and recovers.
RSI forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous peak.
Entry: Buy when RSI crosses above its previous peak.
Stop-Loss: Set below the lowest low of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Sell Trade Example (Bearish Failure Swing)
RSI rises above 70 and then declines.
RSI forms a lower high and then breaks below the previous trough.
Entry: Sell when RSI crosses below its previous trough.
Stop-Loss: Set above the highest high of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Final Thoughts
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify high-probability trend reversals. By using the RSI failure swing concept along with built-in risk management tools, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading with clear entry and exit points. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator helps in capturing momentum shifts while minimizing risk.

Divergence IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Divergence IQ"
Divergence IQ lets traders identify divergences between price action and almost ANY TradingView technical indicator. This tool is designed to help you spot potential trend reversals and continuation patterns with a range of configurable features.
Features
Divergence Detection
Detects both regular and hidden divergences for bullish and bearish setups by comparing price movements with changes in the indicator.
Offers two detection methods: one based on classic pivot point analysis and another that provides immediate divergence signals.
Option to use closing prices for divergence detection, allowing you to choose the data that best fits your strategy.
Normalization Options:
Includes multiple normalization techniques such as robust scaling, rolling Z-score, rolling min-max, or no normalization at all.
Adjustable normalization window lets you customize the indicator to suit various market conditions.
Option to display the normalized indicator on the chart for clearer visual comparison.
Allows traders to take indicators that aren't oscillators, and convert them into an oscillator - allowing for better divergence detection.
Simulated Trade Management:
Integrates simulated trade entries and exits based on divergence signals to demonstrate potential trading outcomes.
Customizable exit strategies with options for ATR-based or percentage-based stop loss and profit target settings.
Automatically calculates key trade metrics such as profit percentage, win rate, profit factor, and total trade count.
Visual Enhancements and On-Chart Displays:
Color-coded signals differentiate between bullish, bearish, hidden bullish, and hidden bearish divergence setups.
On-chart labels, lines, and gradient flow visualizations clearly mark divergence signals, entry points, and exit levels.
Configurable settings let you choose whether to display divergence signals on the price chart or in a separate pane.
Performance Metrics Table:
A performance table dynamically displays important statistics like profit, win rate, profit factor, and number of trades.
This feature offers an at-a-glance assessment of how the divergence-based strategy is performing.
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The performance table is designed to provide a clear summary of simulated trade results based on divergence setups. You can easily review key metrics to assess the strategy’s effectiveness over different time periods.
Customization and Adaptability
Divergence IQ offers a wide range of configurable settings to tailor the indicator to your personal trading approach. You can adjust the lookback and lookahead periods for pivot detection, select your preferred method for normalization, and modify trade exit parameters to manage risk according to your strategy. The tool’s clear visual elements and comprehensive performance metrics make it a useful addition to your technical analysis toolbox.
The image above shows Divergence IQ identifying divergences between price action and OBV with no normalization technique applied.
While traders can look for divergences between OBV and price, OBV doesn't naturally behave like an oscillator, with no definable upper and lower threshold, OBV can infinitely increase or decrease.
With Divergence IQ's ability to normalize any indicator, traders can normalize non-oscillator technical indicators such as OBV, CVD, MACD, or even a moving average.
In the image above, the "Robust Scaling" normalization technique is selected. Consequently, the output of OBV has changed and is now behaving similar to an oscillator-like technical indicator. This makes spotting divergences between the indicator and price easier and more appropriate.
The three normalization techniques included will change the indicator's final output to be more compatible with divergence detection.
This feature can be used with almost any technical indicator.
Stop Type
Traders can select between ATR based profit targets and stop losses, or percentage based profit targets and stop losses.
The image above shows options for the feature.
Divergence Detection Method
A natural pitfall of divergence trading is that it generally takes several bars to "confirm" a divergence. This makes trading the divergence complicated, because the entry at time of the divergence might look great; however, the divergence wasn't actually signaled until several bars later.
To circumvent this issue, Divergence IQ offers two divergence detection mechanisms.
Pivot Detection
Pivot detection mode is the same as almost every divergence indicator on TradingView. The Pivots High Low indicator is used to detect market/indicator highs and lows and, consequently, divergences.
This method generally finds the "best looking" divergences, but will always take additional time to confirm the divergence.
Immediate Detection
Immediate detection mode attempts to reduce lag between the divergence and its confirmation to as little as possible while avoiding repainting.
Immediate detection mode still uses the Pivots Detection model to find the first high/low of a divergence. However, the most recent high/low does not utilize the Pivot Detection model, and instead immediately looks for a divergence between price and an indicator.
Immediate Detection Mode will always signal a divergence one bar after it's occurred, and traders can set alerts in this mode to be alerted as soon as the divergence occurs.
TradingView Backtester Integration
Divergence IQ is fully compatible with the TradingView backtester!
Divergence IQ isn’t designed to be a “profitable strategy” for users to trade. Instead, the intention of including the backtester is to let users backtest divergence-based trading strategies between the asset on their chart and almost any technical indicator, and to see if divergences have any predictive utility in that market.
So while the backtester is available in Divergence IQ, it’s for users to personally figure out if they should consider a divergence an actionable insight, and not a solicitation that Divergence IQ is a profitable trading strategy. Divergence IQ should be thought of as a Divergence backtesting toolkit, not a full-feature trading strategy.
Strategy Properties Used For Backtest
Initial Capital: $1000 - a realistic amount of starting capital that will resonate with many traders
Amount Per Trade: 5% of equity - a realistic amount of capital to invest relative to portfolio size
Commission: 0.02% - a conservative amount of commission to pay for trade that is standard in crypto trading, and very high for other markets.
Slippage: 1 tick - appropriate for liquid markets, but must be increased in markets with low activity.
Once more, the backtester is meant for traders to personally figure out if divergences are actionable trading signals on the market they wish to trade with the indicator they wish to use.
And that's all!
If you have any cool features you think can benefit Divergence IQ - please feel free to share them!
Thank you so much TradingView community!
Price Action Trend and Margin EquityThe Price Action Trend and Margin Equity indicator is a multifunctional market analysis tool that combines elements of money management and price pattern analysis. The indicator helps traders identify key price action patterns and determine optimal entry, exit and stop loss levels based on the current trend.
The main components of the indicator:
Money Management:
Allows the trader to set risk management parameters such as the percentage of possible loss on the position, the use of fixed leverage and the total capital.
Calculates the required leverage level to achieve a specified percentage of loss.
Price Action:
Correctly identifies various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Engulfing Bar, PPR Bar and Inside Bar.
Displays these patterns on the chart with the ability to customize candle colors and display styles.
Allows the trader to customize take profit and stop loss points to display them on the chart.
The ability to display patterns only in the direction of the trend.
Trend: (some code taken from ChartPrime)
Uses a trend cloud to visualize the current market direction.
The trend cloud is displayed on the chart and helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Alert:
Allows you to set an alert that will be triggered when the pattern is formed.
Example of use:
Let's say a trader uses the indicator to trade the crypto market. He sets the money management parameters, setting the maximum loss per position to 5% and using a fixed leverage of 1:100. The indicator automatically calculates the required position size to meet these parameters ($: on the label). Or displays the leverage (X: on the label) to achieve the required risk.
The trader receives an alert when a Pin Bar is formed. The indicator displays the entry, exit, and stop loss levels based on this pattern. The trader opens a position for the recommended amount in the direction indicated by the indicator and sets the stop loss and take profit at the recommended levels.
General Settings:
Position Loss Percentage: Sets the maximum loss percentage you are willing to take on a single position.
Use Fixed Leverage: Enables or disables the use of fixed leverage.
Fixed Leverage: Sets the fixed leverage level.
Total Equity: Specifies the total equity you are using for trading. (Required for calculation when using fixed leverage)
Turn Patterns On/Off: You can turn on or off the display of various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Engulfing), Inside Bar, and PPR Bar.
Pattern Colors: Sets the colors for displaying each pattern on the chart.
Candle Color: Allows you to set a neutral color for candles that do not match the price action.
Show Lines: Allows you to turn on or off the display of labels and lines.
Line Length: Sets the length of the stop, entry, and take profit lines.
Label color: One color for all labels (configured below) or the color of the labels in the color of the candle pattern.
Pin entry: Select the entry point for the pin bar: candle head, bar close, or 50% of the candle.
Coefficients for stop and take lines.
Use trend for price action: When enabled, will show price action signals only in the direction of the trend.
Display trend cloud: Enables or disables the display of the trend cloud.
Cloud calculation period: Sets the period for which the maximum and minimum values for the cloud are calculated. The longer the period, the smoother the cloud will be.
Cloud colors: Sets the colors for uptrends and downtrends, as well as the transparency of the cloud.
The logic of the indicator:
Pin Bar is a candle with a long upper or lower shadow and a short body.
Logic: If the length of one shadow is twice the body and the opposite shadow of the candle, it is considered a Pin Bar.
An Inside Bar is a candle that is completely engulfed by the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are inside the previous candle, it is an Inside Bar.
An Outside Bar or Engulfing is a candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are outside the previous candle and close outside the previous candle, it is an Outside Bar.
A PPR Bar is a candle that closes above or below the previous candle.
Logic: If the current candle closes above the high of the previous candle or below its low, it is a PPR Bar.
Stop Loss Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios. If set to 1.0, it shows the correct stop for the pattern by pushing away from the entry point.
Take Profit Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios.
Create a Label: The label is created at the stop loss level and contains information about the potential leverage and loss.
The formula for calculating the $ value is:
=(Total Capital x (Maximum Loss Percentage on Position/100)) / (Difference between Entry Level and Stop Loss Level × Ratio that sets the stop loss level relative to the length of the candlestick shadow × Fixed Leverage Value) .
Labels contain the following information:
The percentage of price change from the recommended entry point to the stop loss level.
Required Leverage (X: ): The amount of leverage required to achieve the specified loss percentage. (Or a fixed value if selected).
Required Capital ($: ): The amount of capital required to open a position with the specified leverage and loss percentage (only displayed when using fixed leverage).
The trend cloud identifies the maximum and minimum price values for the specified period.
The cloud value is set depending on whether the current price is equal to the high or low values.
If the current closing price is equal to the high value, the cloud is set at the low value, and vice versa.

Индикатор "Price Action Trend and Margin Equity" представляет собой многофункциональный инструмент для анализа рынка, объединяющий в себе элементы управления капиталом и анализа ценовых паттернов. Индикатор помогает трейдерам идентифицировать ключевые прайс экшн паттерны и определять оптимальные уровни входа, выхода и стоп-лосс на основе текущего тренда.
Основные компоненты индикатора:
Управление капиталом:
Позволяет трейдеру задавать параметры управления рисками, такие как процент возможного убытка по позиции, использование фиксированного плеча и общий капитал.
Рассчитывает необходимый уровень плеча для достижения заданного процента убытка.
Price Action:
Правильно идентифицирует различные ценовые паттерны, такие как Pin Bar, Поглащение Бар, PPR Bar и Внутренний Бар.
Отображает эти паттерны на графике с возможностью настройки цветов свечей и стилей отображения.
Позволяет трейдеру настраивать точки тейк профита и стоп лосса для отображения их на графике.
Возможность отображения паттернов только в натправлении тренда.
Trend: (часть кода взята у ChartPrime)
Использует облако тренда для визуализации текущего направления рынка.
Облако тренда отображается на графике и помогает трейдерам определить, находится ли рынок в восходящем или нисходящем тренде.
Оповещение:
Дает возможность установить оповещение которое будет срабатывать при формировании паттерна.
Пример применения:
Предположим, трейдер использует индикатор для торговли на крипто рынке. Он настраивает параметры управления капиталом, устанавливая максимальный убыток по позиции в 5% и используя фиксированное плечо 1:100. Индикатор автоматически рассчитывает необходимый объем позиции для соблюдения этих параметров ($: на лейбле). Или отображает плечо (Х: на лейбле) для достижения необходимого риска.
Трейдер получает оповещение о формировании Pin Bar. Индикатор отображает уровни входа, выхода и стоп-лосс, основанные на этом паттерне. Трейдер открывает позицию на рекомендуемую сумму в направлении, указанном индикатором, и устанавливает стоп-лосс и тейк-профит на рекомендованных уровнях.
Общие настройки:
Процент убытка по позиции: Устанавливает максимальный процент убытка, который вы готовы понести по одной позиции.
Использовать фиксированное плечо: Включает или отключает использование фиксированного плеча.
Уровень фиксированного плеча: Задает уровень фиксированного плеча.
Общий капитал: Указывает общий капитал, который вы используете для торговли. (Необходим для расчета при использовании фиксированного плеча)
Включение/отключение паттернов: Вы можете включить или отключить отображение различных ценовых паттернов, таких как Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Поглощение), Inside Bar и PPR Bar.
Цвета паттернов: Задает цвета для отображения каждого паттерна на графике.
Цвет свечей: Позволяет задать нейтральный цвет для свечей неподходящих под прйс экшн.
Показывать линии: Позволяет включить или отключить отображение лейблов и линий.
Длинна линий: Настройка длинны линий стопа, линии входа и тейк профита.
Цвет лейбла: Один цвет для всех лейблов (настраивается ниже) или цвет лейблов в цвет паттерна свечи.
Вход в пин: Выбор точки входа для пин бара: голова свечи, точка закрытия бара или 50% свечи.
Коэффиценты для стоп и тейк линий.
Использовать тренд для прайс экшна: При включении будет показывать прайс экшн сигналы только в направлении тренда.
Отображение облака тренда: Включает или отключает отображение облака тренда.
Период расчета облака: Устанавливает период, за который рассчитываются максимальные и минимальные значения для облака. Чем больше период, тем более сглаженным будет облако.
Цвета облака: Задает цвета для восходящего и нисходящего трендов, а также прозрачность облака.
Логика работы индикатора:
Pin Bar — это свеча с длинной верхней или нижней тенью и коротким телом.
Логика: Если длина одной тени вдвое больше тела и противоположной тени свечи, считается, что это Pin Bar.
Inside Bar — это свеча, полностью поглощенная предыдущей свечой.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи находятся внутри предыдущей свечи, это Inside Bar.
Outside Bar или Поглощение — это свеча, которая полностью поглощает предыдущую свечу.
Логика: Если максимум и минимум текущей свечи выходят за пределы предыдущей свечи и закрывается за пределами предыдущей свечи, это Outside Bar.
PPR Bar — это свеча, которая закрывается выше или ниже предыдущей свечи.
Логика: Если текущая свеча закрывается выше максимума предыдущей свечи или ниже ее минимума, это PPR Bar.
Уровни стоп-лосс: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов. При значении 1.0 показывает правильный стоп для паттерна отталкиваясь от точки входа.
Уровки тейк-профита: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов.
Создание метки: Метка создается на уровне стоп-лосс и содержит информацию о потенциальном плече и убытке.
Формула для вычисления значения $:
=(Общий капитал x (Максимальный процент убытка по позиции/100)) / (Разница между уровнем входа и уровнем стоп-лосс × Коэффициент, задающий уровень стоп-лосс относительно длины тени свечи × Значение фиксированного плеча).
Метки содержат следующую информацию:
Процент изменения цены от рекомендованной точки входа до уровня стоп-лосс.
Необходимое плечо (Х: ): Уровень плеча, необходимый для достижения заданного процента убытка. (Или фиксированное значение если оно выбрано).
Необходимый капитал ($: ): Сумма капитала, необходимая для открытия позиции с заданным плечом и процентом убытка (отображается только при использовании фиксированного плеча).
Облако тренда определяет максимальные и минимальные значения цены за указанный период.
Значение облака устанавливается в зависимости от того, совпадает ли текущая цена с максимальными или минимальными значениями.
Если текущая цена закрытия равна максимальному значению, облако устанавливается на уровне минимального значения, и наоборот.
Sunil BB Blast Heikin Ashi StrategySunil BB Blast Heikin Ashi Strategy
The Sunil BB Blast Heikin Ashi Strategy is a trend-following trading strategy that combines Bollinger Bands with Heikin-Ashi candles for precise market entries and exits. It aims to capitalize on price volatility while ensuring controlled risk through dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels based on a user-defined Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR).
Key Features:
Trading Window:
The strategy operates within a user-defined time window (e.g., from 09:20 to 15:00) to align with market hours or other preferred trading sessions.
Trade Direction:
Users can select between Long Only, Short Only, or Long/Short trade directions, allowing flexibility depending on market conditions.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are used to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones. The strategy enters trades when price breaks through the upper or lower Bollinger Band, indicating a possible trend continuation.
Heikin-Ashi Candles:
Heikin-Ashi candles help smooth price action and filter out market noise. The strategy uses these candles to confirm trend direction and improve entry accuracy.
Risk Management (Risk-to-Reward Ratio):
The strategy automatically adjusts the take-profit (TP) level and stop-loss (SL) based on the selected Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR). This ensures that trades are risk-managed effectively.
Automated Alerts and Webhooks:
The strategy includes automated alerts for trade entries and exits. Users can set up JSON webhooks for external execution or trading automation.
Active Position Tracking:
The strategy tracks whether there is an active position (long or short) and only exits when price hits the pre-defined SL or TP levels.
Exit Conditions:
The strategy exits positions when either the take-profit (TP) or stop-loss (SL) levels are hit, ensuring risk management is adhered to.
Default Settings:
Trading Window:
09:20-15:00
This setting confines the strategy to the specified hours, ensuring trading only occurs during active market hours.
Strategy Direction:
Default: Long/Short
This allows for both long and short trades depending on market conditions. You can select "Long Only" or "Short Only" if you prefer to trade in one direction.
Bollinger Band Length (bbLength):
Default: 19
Length of the moving average used to calculate the Bollinger Bands.
Bollinger Band Multiplier (bbMultiplier):
Default: 2.0
Multiplier used to calculate the upper and lower bands. A higher multiplier increases the width of the bands, leading to fewer but more significant trades.
Take Profit Multiplier (tpMultiplier):
Default: 2.0
Multiplier used to determine the take-profit level based on the calculated stop-loss. This ensures that the profit target aligns with the selected Risk-to-Reward Ratio.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR):
Default: 1.0
The ratio used to calculate the take-profit relative to the stop-loss. A higher RRR means larger profit targets.
Trade Automation (JSON Webhooks):
Allows for integration with external systems for automated execution:
Long Entry JSON: Customizable entry condition for long positions.
Long Exit JSON: Customizable exit condition for long positions.
Short Entry JSON: Customizable entry condition for short positions.
Short Exit JSON: Customizable exit condition for short positions.
Entry Logic:
Long Entry:
The strategy enters a long position when:
The Heikin-Ashi candle shows a bullish trend (green close > open).
The price is above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling a breakout.
The previous candle also closed higher than it opened.
Short Entry:
The strategy enters a short position when:
The Heikin-Ashi candle shows a bearish trend (red close < open).
The price is below the lower Bollinger Band, signaling a breakdown.
The previous candle also closed lower than it opened.
Exit Logic:
Take-Profit (TP):
The take-profit level is calculated as a multiple of the distance between the entry price and the stop-loss level, determined by the selected Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR).
Stop-Loss (SL):
The stop-loss is placed at the opposite Bollinger Band level (lower for long positions, upper for short positions).
Exit Trigger:
The strategy exits a trade when either the take-profit or stop-loss level is hit.
Plotting and Visuals:
The Heikin-Ashi candles are displayed on the chart, with green candles for uptrends and red candles for downtrends.
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted for visual reference.
Entry points for long and short trades are marked with green and red labels below and above bars, respectively.
Strategy Alerts:
Alerts are triggered when:
A long entry condition is met.
A short entry condition is met.
A trade exits (either via take-profit or stop-loss).
These alerts can be used to trigger notifications or webhook events for automated trading systems.
Notes:
The strategy is designed for use on intraday charts but can be applied to any timeframe.

- Proper risk management and position sizing are essential when using this strategy in live markets.
SiCInside Sweep Close (ISC):
This concept captures a specific price action behavior and can help refine trading strategies for better precision. Here's a detailed explanation:
Inside:
The closing price of the candle stays within the range of the previous candle.
This indicates a containment of price action, suggesting indecision or preparation for a significant move.
Sweep:
The wick of the candle takes out (or "sweeps") the low (or high) of the previous candle.
This sweep can trigger stop-losses of retail traders or activate pending orders, often used by smart money strategies.
Close:
The candle ultimately closes inside the range of the previous candle.
This close signifies that the sweep was a liquidity grab rather than a genuine breakout, providing an actionable trading signal.
How ISC Can Be Used in Trading:
Liquidity Grab Recognition:
ISC can indicate when liquidity is swept from the market, making it an ideal entry point for traders anticipating a reversal or continuation.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Synergy:
If you follow SMC principles, ISC aligns with key concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and mitigation zones.
Risk Management:
By identifying the ISC setup, you can place tighter stop-loss levels just outside the sweep, optimizing risk-reward ratios.
Entry Signals:
When you spot an ISC, you can enter trades at the close of the candle, anticipating a move in the direction opposite to the sweep.
Example of ISC in Action:
Imagine a bearish candle:
The wick sweeps the low of the previous candle, possibly triggering stop-losses.
However, the close stays inside the previous candle’s range.
This setup might indicate a reversal, where price moves upward after grabbing liquidity.
Why This Name Works:
It’s concise, professional, and directly linked to the trading action you’re describing.
The short form, ISC, is easy to remember and discuss within trading circles or while teaching others.
It ties into widely known concepts like smart money, price action, and liquidity sweeps, making it relatable yet unique.
Does this align with how you envision using the concept? Let me know if you’d like more refinements or visual examples!
30-Minute Candle Strategy30-Minute Candle Trading Strategy
This strategy works on a 30-minute candle timeframe. When a new 30-minute candle opens, the following actions will take place based on the previous 30-minute candle's closing price:
Buy Trade Setup:
If the market opens above the previous 30-minute candle's closing price, a buy trade will be executed immediately at the market price.
The stop-loss will be set at the previous 30-minute candle's closing price.
There will be no fixed target.
The trade will be closed 1 minute before the current 30-minute candle closes, regardless of profit or loss.
Sell Trade Setup:
If a buy trade hits the stop-loss and the market moves below the previous 30-minute candle's closing price, a sell trade will be executed immediately at the market price.
The stop-loss for the sell trade will also be set at the previous 30-minute candle's closing price.
There will be no fixed target.
The trade will be closed 1 minute before the current 30-minute candle closes, regardless of profit or loss.
Procedure:
This process will repeat for every 30-minute candle.
If the market crosses the previous 30-minute candle's closing price to the upside, a buy trade will be executed, and the stop-loss will be set at the previous candle's closing price.
If the market crosses the previous 30-minute candle's closing price to the downside, a sell trade will be executed, and the stop-loss will also be set at the previous candle's closing price.
Each trade will be closed 1 minute before the current candle closes.
Key Points:
This strategy applies to every new 30-minute candle.
The stop-loss will always be based on the previous 30-minute candle's closing price.
If a stop-loss is hit, the strategy will automatically switch to the opposite trade (buy to sell or sell to buy) based on market movement crossing the previous candle's closing price.
This is a repetitive and systematic approach to trading, ensuring the rules are followed for every 30-minute candle.

ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.
Calculation and display of key price areas like Breaker Blocks, Rejection Blocks, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Equal Levels, and more.
The ability to set alerts based on these ICT strategies and key price areas.
A comprehensive, yet practical, all-inclusive ICT indicator for traders.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Swing Low
User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing Low Below Entry
Previous Day Low
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing High
Previous Day High
Order blocks

Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!

CPR by NKDCentral Pivot Range (CPR) Trading Strategy:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a widely-used tool in technical analysis, helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance levels in the market. By using the CPR effectively, traders can better gauge market trends and determine favorable entry and exit points. This guide explores how the CPR works, outlines its calculation, and describes how traders can enhance their strategies using an extended 10-line version of CPR.
What Really Central Pivot Range (CPR) is?
At its core, the CPR consists of three key lines:
Pivot Point (PP) – The central line, calculated as the average of the previous day’s high, low, and closing prices.
Upper Range (R1) – Positioned above the Pivot Point, acting as a potential ceiling where price may face resistance.
Lower Range (S1) – Found below the Pivot Point, serving as a potential floor where price might find support.
Advanced traders often expand on the traditional three-line CPR by adding extra levels above and below the pivot, creating up to a 10-line system. This extended CPR allows for a more nuanced understanding of the market and helps identify more detailed trading opportunities.
Applying CPR for Trading Success
1. How CPR is Calculation
The CPR relies on the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices to create its structure:
Pivot Point (PP) = (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1) = (2 * PP) - L
First Support (S1) = (2 * PP) - H
Additional resistance levels (R2, R3) and support levels (S2, S3) are calculated by adding or subtracting multiples of the previous day’s price range (H - L) from the Pivot Point.
2. Recognizing the Market Trend
To effectively trade using CPR, it’s essential to first determine whether the market is trending up (bullish) or down (bearish). In an upward-trending market, traders focus on buying at support levels, while in a downward market, they look to sell near resistance.
3. Finding Ideal Entry Points
Traders often look to enter trades when price approaches key levels within the CPR range. Support levels (S1, S2) offer buying opportunities, while resistance levels (R1, R2) provide selling opportunities. These points are considered potential reversal zones, where price may bounce or reverse direction.
4. Managing Risk with Stop-Loss Orders
Proper risk management is crucial in any trading strategy. A stop-loss should be set slightly beyond the support level for buy positions and above the resistance level for sell positions, ensuring that losses are contained if the market moves against the trader’s position.
5. Determining Profit Targets
Profit targets are typically set based on the distance between entry points and the next support or resistance level. Many traders apply a risk-reward ratio, aiming for larger potential profits compared to the potential losses. However, if the next resistance and support level is far then middle levels are used for targets (i.e. 50% of R1 and R2)
6. Confirmation Through Other Indicators
While CPR provides strong support and resistance levels, traders often use additional indicators to confirm potential trade setups. Indicators such as moving averages can
help validate the signals provided by the CPR.
7. Monitoring Price Action At CPR Levels
Constantly monitoring price movement near CPR levels is essential. If the price fails to break through a resistance level (R1) or holds firm at support (S1), it can offer cues on when to exit or adjust a trade. However, a strong price break past these levels often signals a continued trend.
8. Trading Breakouts with CPR
When the price breaks above resistance or below support with strong momentum, it may signal a potential breakout. Traders can capitalize on these movements by entering positions in the direction of the breakout, ideally confirmed by volume or other technical indicators.
9. Adapting to Changing Market Conditions
CPR should be used in the context of broader market influences, such as economic reports, news events, or geopolitical shifts. These factors can dramatically affect market direction and how price reacts to CPR levels, making it important to stay informed about external market conditions.
10. Practice and Backtesting for Improvements
Like any trading tool, the CPR requires practice. Traders are encouraged to backtest their strategies on historical price data to get a better sense of how CPR works in different market environments. Continuous analysis and practice help improve decision-making and strategy refinement.
The Advantages of Using a 10-Line CPR System
An extended 10-line CPR system—comprising up to five resistance and five support levels—provides more granular control and insight into market movements. This expanded view helps traders better gauge trends and identify more opportunities for entry and exit. Key benefits include:
R2, S2 Levels: These act as secondary resistance or support zones, giving traders additional opportunities to refine their trade entries and exits.
R3, S3 Levels: Provide an even wider range for identifying reversals or trend continuations in more volatile markets.
Flexibility: The broader range of levels allows traders to adapt to changing market conditions and make more precise decisions based on market momentum.
So in Essential:
The Central Pivot Range is a valuable tool for traders looking to identify critical price levels in the market. By providing a clear framework for identifying potential support and resistance zones, it helps traders make informed decisions about entering and exiting trades. However, it’s important to combine CPR with sound risk management and additional confirmation through other technical indicators for the best results.
Although no trading tool guarantees success, the CPR, when used effectively and combined with practice, can significantly enhance a trader’s ability to navigate market fluctuations.
Unlock the Power of Seasonality: Monthly Performance StrategyThe Monthly Performance Strategy leverages the power of seasonality—those cyclical patterns that emerge in financial markets at specific times of the year. From tax deadlines to industry-specific events and global holidays, historical data shows that certain months can offer strong opportunities for trading. This strategy was designed to help traders capture those opportunities and take advantage of recurring market patterns through an automated and highly customizable approach.
The Inspiration Behind the Strategy:
This strategy began with the idea that market performance is often influenced by seasonal factors. Historically, certain months outperform others due to a variety of reasons, like earnings reports, holiday shopping, or fiscal year-end events. By identifying these periods, traders can better time their market entries and exits, giving them an advantage over those who solely rely on technical indicators or news events.
The Monthly Performance Strategy was built to take this concept and automate it. Instead of manually analyzing market data for each month, this strategy enables you to select which months you want to focus on and then executes trades based on predefined rules, saving you time and optimizing the performance of your trades.
Key Features:
Customizable Month Selection: The strategy allows traders to choose specific months to test or trade on. You can select any combination of months—for example, January, July, and December—to focus on based on historical trends. Whether you’re targeting the historically strong months like December (often driven by the 'Santa Rally') or analyzing quieter months for low volatility trades, this strategy gives you full control.
Automated Monthly Entries and Exits: The strategy automatically enters a long position on the first day of your selected month(s) and exits the trade at the beginning of the next month. This makes it perfect for traders who want to benefit from seasonal patterns without manually monitoring the market. It ensures precision in entering and exiting trades based on pre-set timeframes.
Re-entry on Stop Loss or Take Profit: One of the standout features of this strategy is its ability to re-enter a trade if a position hits the stop loss (SL) or take profit (TP) level during the selected month. If your trade reaches either a SL or TP before the month ends, the strategy will automatically re-enter a new trade the next trading day. This feature ensures that you capture multiple trading opportunities within the same month, instead of exiting entirely after a successful or unsuccessful trade. Essentially, it keeps your capital working for you throughout the entire month, not just when conditions align perfectly at the beginning.
Built-in Risk Management: Risk management is a vital part of this strategy. It incorporates an Average True Range (ATR)-based stop loss and take profit system. The ATR helps set dynamic levels based on the market’s volatility, ensuring that your stops and targets adjust to changing market conditions. This not only helps limit potential losses but also maximizes profit potential by adapting to market behavior.
Historical Performance Testing: You can backtest this strategy on any period by setting the start year. This allows traders to analyze past market data and optimize their strategy based on historical performance. You can fine-tune which months to trade based on years of data, helping you identify trends and patterns that provide the best trading results.
Versatility Across Asset Classes: While this strategy can be particularly effective for stock market indices and sector rotation, it’s versatile enough to apply to other asset classes like forex, commodities, and even cryptocurrencies. Each asset class may exhibit different seasonal behaviors, allowing you to explore opportunities across various markets with this strategy.
How It Works:
The trader selects which months to test or trade, for example, January, April, and October.
The strategy will automatically open a long position on the first trading day of each selected month.
If the trade hits either the take profit or stop loss within the month, the strategy will close the current position and re-enter a new trade on the next trading day, provided the month has not yet ended. This ensures that the strategy continues to capture any potential gains throughout the month, rather than stopping after one successful trade.
At the start of the next month, the position is closed, and if the next month is also selected, a new trade is initiated following the same process.
Risk Management and Dynamic Adjustments:
Incorporating risk management with this strategy is as easy as turning on the ATR-based system. The strategy will automatically calculate stop loss and take profit levels based on the market’s current volatility, adjusting dynamically to the conditions. This ensures that the risk is controlled while allowing for flexibility in capturing profits during both high and low volatility periods.
Maximizing the Seasonal Edge:
By automating entries and exits based on specific months and combining that with dynamic risk management, the Ultimate Monthly Performance Strategy takes advantage of seasonal patterns without requiring constant monitoring. The added re-entry feature after hitting a stop loss or take profit ensures that you are always in the game, maximizing your chances to capture profitable trades during favorable seasonal periods.
Who Can Benefit from This Strategy?
This strategy is perfect for traders who:
Want to exploit the predictable, recurring patterns that occur during specific months of the year.
Prefer a hands-off, automated trading approach that allows them to focus on other aspects of their portfolio or life.
Seek to manage risk effectively with ATR-based stop losses and take profits that adjust to market conditions.
Appreciate the ability to re-enter trades when a take profit or stop loss is hit within the month, ensuring that they don't miss out on multiple opportunities during a favorable period.
In summary, the Ultimate Monthly Performance Strategy provides traders with a comprehensive tool to capitalize on seasonal trends, optimize their trading opportunities throughout the year, and manage risk effectively. The built-in re-entry system ensures you continue to benefit from the market even after hitting targets within the same month, making it a robust strategy for traders looking to maximize their edge in any market.
Risk Disclaimer:
Trading financial markets involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The Monthly Performance Strategy is designed to help traders identify seasonal trends, but past performance does not guarantee future results. It is important to carefully consider your risk tolerance, financial situation, and trading goals before using any strategy. Always use appropriate risk management and consult with a professional financial advisor if necessary. The use of this strategy does not eliminate the risk of losses, and traders should be prepared for the possibility of losing their entire investment. Be sure to test the strategy on a demo account before applying it in live markets.

Bollinger Bands Enhanced StrategyOverview
The common practice of using Bollinger bands is to use it for building mean reversion or squeeze momentum strategies. In the current script Bollinger Bands Enhanced Strategy we are trying to combine the strengths of both strategies types. It utilizes Bollinger Bands indicator to buy the local dip and activates trailing profit system after reaching the user given number of Average True Ranges (ATR). Also it uses 200 period EMA to filter trades only in the direction of a trend. Strategy can execute only long trades.
Unique Features
Trailing Profit System: Strategy uses user given number of ATR to activate trailing take profit. If price has already reached the trailing profit activation level, scrip will close long trade if price closes below Bollinger Bands middle line.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Major Trend Filter: Strategy utilizes 100 period EMA to take trades only in the direction of a trend.
Flexible Risk Management: Users can choose number of ATR as a stop loss (by default = 1.75) for trades. This is flexible approach because ATR is recalculated on every candle, therefore stop-loss readjusted to the current volatility.
Methodology
First of all, script checks if currently price is above the 200-period exponential moving average EMA. EMA is used to establish the current trend. Script will take long trades on if this filtering system showing us the uptrend. Then the strategy executes the long trade if candle’s low below the lower Bollinger band. To calculate the middle Bollinger line, we use the standard 20-period simple moving average (SMA), lower band is calculated by the substruction from middle line the standard deviation multiplied by user given value (by default = 2).
When long trade executed, script places stop-loss at the price level below the entry price by user defined number of ATR (by default = 1.75). This stop-loss level recalculates at every candle while trade is open according to the current candle ATR value. Also strategy set the trailing profit activation level at the price above the position average price by user given number of ATR (by default = 2.25). It is also recalculated every candle according to ATR value. When price hit this level script plotted the triangle with the label “Strong Uptrend” and start trail the price at the middle Bollinger line. It also started to be plotted as a green line.
When price close below this trailing level script closes the long trade and search for the next trade opportunity.
Risk Management
The strategy employs a combined and flexible approach to risk management:
It allows positions to ride the trend as long as the price continues to move favorably, aiming to capture significant price movements. It features a user-defined ATR stop loss parameter to mitigate risks based on individual risk tolerance. By default, this stop-loss is set to a 1.75*ATR drop from the entry point, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences.
There is no fixed take profit, but strategy allows user to define user the ATR trailing profit activation parameter. By default, this stop-loss is set to a 2.25*ATR growth from the entry point, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages Bollinger bangs indicator to open long trades in the local dips. If price reached the lower band there is a high probability of bounce. Here is an issue: during the strong downtrend price can constantly goes down without any significant correction. That’s why we decided to use 200-period EMA as a trend filter to increase the probability of opening long trades during major uptrend only.
Usually, Bollinger Bands indicator is using for mean reversion or breakout strategies. Both of them have the disadvantages. The mean reversion buys the dip, but closes on the return to some mean value. Therefore, it usually misses the major trend moves. The breakout strategies usually have the issue with too high buy price because to have the breakout confirmation price shall break some price level. Therefore, in such strategies traders need to set the large stop-loss, which decreases potential reward to risk ratio.
In this strategy we are trying to combine the best features of both types of strategies. Script utilizes ate ATR to setup the stop-loss and trailing profit activation levels. ATR takes into account the current volatility. Therefore, when we setup stop-loss with the user-given number of ATR we increase the probability to decrease the number of false stop outs. The trailing profit concept is trying to add the beat feature from breakout strategies and increase probability to stay in trade while uptrend is developing. When price hit the trailing profit activation level, script started to trail the price with middle line if Bollinger bands indicator. Only when candle closes below the middle line script closes the long trade.

Market Structure Break Targets [UAlgo]The "Market Structure Break Targets " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key market structure points such as Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structures (BoS). These points are crucial for understanding market trends and potential reversal zones. By plotting these structures on the chart, traders can easily spot significant support and resistance levels, as well as potential entry and exit points.
This indicator uses a combination of swing highs and lows to determine market structures and calculates targets based on user-defined percentages or Average True Range (ATR) multipliers. It provides visual cues in the form of lines, labels, and boxes to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Swing Length: Users can set the swing length to identify the pivot highs and lows, which are crucial for determining market structure.
Target Duration Bars: Defines the maximum duration (in bars) for which the targets will be considered valid.
Target Calculation Methods: The target levels are crucial for setting potential price objectives. The calculation can be based on a percentage move from the identified pivot or using the ATR to factor in market volatility. These targets help in setting realistic profit-taking levels or identifying stop-loss placements.
Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Break (MSB): Detects and highlights bullish and bearish market structure breaks with customizable colors and target percentages.
Bullish MSB
When the price closes above a significant pivot high, a bullish MSB is identified. The indicator will draw a line at this level and calculate a target based on the chosen method (percentage or ATR). The target is visualized with a dotted line, and a label "MSB" is displayed. Additionally, an order block is created at the level of the bullish MSB. This order block is highlighted with a semi-transparent box, representing a potential area where price might find support in the future.
Bearish MSB
Conversely, when the price closes below a significant pivot low, a bearish MSB is marked. Similar to bullish MSBs, targets are calculated and displayed on the chart. An order block is also generated at the level of the bearish MSB, visualized with a semi-transparent box. This box highlights a potential resistance area where price might face selling pressure.
Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure (BoS): Identifies break of structures for both bullish and bearish scenarios, providing additional target levels.
Bullish BoS
If the price continues to rise and breaks another significant level, a bullish BoS is detected. This break is also marked with lines and labels, providing additional target levels for traders. An order block is created at the BoS level, serving as a potential support zone.
Bearish BoS
If the price falls further after a bearish MSB, a bearish BoS is identified and visualized similarly. The indicator creates an order block at the BoS level, which acts as a potential resistance zone.

ICT Concept [TradingFinder] Order Block | FVG | Liquidity Sweeps🔵 Introduction
The "ICT" style is one of the subsets of "Price Action" technical analysis. ICT is a method created by "Michael Huddleston", a professional forex trader and experienced mentor. The acronym ICT stands for "Inner Circle Trader".
The main objective of the ICT trading strategy is to combine "Price Action" and the concept of "Smart Money" to identify optimal entry points into trades. However, finding suitable entry points is not the only strength of this approach. With the ICT style, traders can better understand price behavior and adapt their trading approach to market structure accordingly.
Numerous concepts are discussed in this style, but the key practical concepts for trading in financial markets include "Order Block," "Liquidity," and "FVG".
🔵 How to Use
🟣Order Block
Order blocks are a specific type of "Supply and Demand" zones formed when a series of orders are placed in a block. These orders could be created by banks or other major players. Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market directly with a small quantity, significant price movements would occur before the orders are fully executed, resulting in less profit. To avoid this, they divide their orders into smaller, manageable positions. Traders should look for "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" areas and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks".
🟣Liquidity
These levels are where traders aim to exit their trades. "Market Makers" or smart money usually collects or distributes their trading positions near levels where many retail traders have placed their "Stop Loss" orders. When the liquidity resulting from these losses is collected, the price often reverses direction.
A "Stop Hunt" is a move designed to neutralize liquidity generated by triggered stop losses. Banks often use significant news events to trigger stop hunts and acquire the liquidity released in the market. If, for example, they intend to execute heavy buy orders, they encourage others to sell through stop hunts.
As a result, if there is liquidity in the market before reaching the order block region, the credibility of that order block is higher. Conversely, if liquidity is near the order block, meaning the price reaches the order block before reaching the liquidity area, the credibility of that order block is lower.
🟣FVG (Fair Value Gap)
To identify the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, one must analyze candle by candle. Focus on candles with large bodies, examining one candle and the one before it. The candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows, and their bodies should not overlap with the body of the central candle. The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles is called the FVG range.
These zone function in two ways :
•Supply and Demand zone: In this case, the price reacts to these zone, and its trend reverses.
•Liquidity zone: In this scenario, the price "fills" the zone and then reaches the order block.
Important Note: In most cases, FVG zone with very small width act as supply and demand zone, while zone with a significant width act as liquidity zone, absorbing the price.
🔵 Setting
🟣Order Block
Refine Order Block : When the option for refining order blocks is Off, the supply and demand zones encompass the entire length of the order block (from Low to High) in their standard state and remain unaltered. On the option for refining order blocks triggers the improvement of supply and demand zones using the error correction algorithm.
Refine Type : The enhancement of order blocks via the error correction algorithm can be executed through two methods: Defensive and Aggressive. In the Aggressive approach, the widest possible range is taken into account for order blocks.
Show High Levels : If major high levels are to be displayed, set the option for showing high level to Yes.
Show Low Levels : If major low levels are to be displayed, set the option for showing low level to Yes.
Show Last Support : If showing the last support is desired, set the option for showing last support to Yes.
Show Last Resistance : If showing the last resistance is desired, set the option for showing last resistance to Yes.
🟣 FVG
FVG Filter : When FVG filtering is activated, the number of FVG areas undergoes filtration based on the specified algorithm.
FVG Filter Types :
1. Very Aggressive : Apart from the initial condition, an additional condition is introduced. For an upward FVG, the maximum price of the last candle should exceed the maximum price of the middle candle. Similarly, for a downward FVG, the minimum price of the last candle should be lower than the minimum price of the middle candle. This mode eliminates a minimal number of FVGs.
2. Aggressive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, this mode considers the size of the middle candle; it should not be small. Consequently, a larger number of FVGs are eliminated in this mode.
3. Defensive : Alongside the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, this mode takes into account the size of the middle candle, which should be relatively large with the majority of it comprising the body. Furthermore, to identify upward FVGs, the second and third candles must be positive, whereas for downward FVGs, the second and third candles must be negative. This mode filters out a considerable number of FVGs, retaining only those of suitable quality.
4. Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Defensive mode, the first and third candles should not be very small-bodied doji candles. This mode filters out the majority of FVGs, leaving only the highest quality ones. Show Demand FVG: Enables the display of demand-related boxes, which can be toggled between off and on. Show Supply FVG: Enables the display of supply-related boxes along the path, which can also be toggled between off and on.
🟣 Liquidity
Statics Liquidity Line Sensitivity : A value ranging from 0 to 0.4. Increasing this value reduces the sensitivity of the "Statics Liquidity Line Detection" function and increases the number of identified lines. The default value is 0.3.
Dynamics Liquidity Line Sensitivity : A value ranging from 0.4 to 1.95. Increasing this value enhances the sensitivity of the "Dynamics Liquidity Line Detection" function and decreases the number of identified lines. The default value is 1.
Statics Period Pivot : Default value is set to 8. By adjusting this value, you can specify the period for static liquidity line pivots.
Dynamics Period Pivot : Default value is set to 3. By adjusting this value, you can specify the period for dynamic liquidity line pivots.
You can activate or deactivate liquidity lines as necessary using the buttons labeled "Show Statics High Liquidity Line," "Show Statics Low Liquidity Line," "Show Dynamics High Liquidity Line," and "Show Dynamics Low Liquidity Line".

GRID SPOT TRADING ALGORITHM - GRID BOT TRADING STRATEGYGRID SPOT TRADING ALGORITHM : LONG ONLY STRATEGY OPEN SOURCE
This is a long only strategy for spot assets.
HOW IT WORKS
Grid trading is a trading strategy where an investor creates a so-called "price grid". The basic idea of the strategy is to repeatedly buy at the pre-specified price and then wait for the price to rise above that level and then sell the position (and vice versa with shorting or hedging).
FEATURES
Grids: This algorithm has a total of 10 grids.
Take profit: The trader can increase or decrease the distance between the grids from the User Interface panel, the distance between one grid and another represents the take profit.
Management: The algorithm buys 10% of the capital every time the price breaks down a grid and sells during a rise to the next higher grid. The initial capital is invested in 10 sizes which represent 10% of the capital per trade.
Stop Loss: The algorithm knows no stop loss as long as it is not activated from the User Interface panel. By activating the stop loss from the User Interface panel the algorithm will insert a close condition on all trades which will be calculated from the last lower grid.
Trades: Trades are opened only if the price is within the grid. If the market leaves the grid the algorithm will not buy new positions or sell new positions.
Optimal market conditions: The favorable market for this algorithm is the sideways market.
LIMITATIONS OF THE MODEL
The trader must take into account that this is a static model. It only works perfectly well if the market is in a sideways phase and incurs heavy losses if the market takes a downward trend. The model is unusable for an uptrend. The trader must therefore carefully analyze the market where he intends to use this strategy, making sure that the price is in a sideways phase.
USES
Indispensable research and backtesting tool for those using bots for their investments. The algorithm produces a backtesting of the strategy for past history. It is used by professional traders to understand if this strategy has been profitable on a market and what parameters to use for bots using this strategy (Kucoin, Binance etc.).

Trading PanelWhen trading, position sizing and risk calculation is the key to become successful.
We need to keep the losses small and adjust the position size according to what
risk we are prepared to take for the planned Entry.
Based on the Account Size and the max percentage we want to risk for any trade,
we calculate, for a number of fixed max Loss percentages:
- The Position size, both in percent and in the selected currency.
- Number of shares to buy.
- Where to put the Stop Loss.
We also calculate the numbers based on the ATR times a multiple.
The values are presented in a table format and will hopefully aid in selecting
a suitable Stop Loss (based on the chart situation) and hence the proper Position Size.
We also allow for expressing the Account size in currencies other than USD.
Example:
Account Size in USD and trading US stocks: select USD
Account Size in SEK but trading US stocks: select USDSEK
