40 SMA Scaling StrategyThis trend-following strategy focuses on capturing momentum when price breaks above the 40-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) while utilizing a systematic scale-out (Take Profit) approach to lock in gains during extended runs.
Strategy Logic
Entry: Opens a Long position with 100% of current equity when the price closes above the 40 SMA. This ensures maximum capital efficiency at the start of a new perceived trend.
Scaling Take Profits: To reduce risk as the trade progresses, the strategy automatically closes 25% of the initial position for every 1% increase in price from the entry point.
Exit: The entire remaining position is closed immediately if the price closes below the 40 SMA, acting as a trailing stop that adapts to the moving average.
Key Features
Capital-Efficient: Starts with a full account allocation to maximize exposure to the initial breakout.
Systematic De-risking: By scaling out in 25% increments, the strategy banks profits early while leaving a portion of the trade active for potential "moon shots."
Trend-Following Exit: Uses a classic SMA filter to exit, aiming to stay in the trade as long as the medium-term trend remains bullish.

Ultimate Lines Statistical Backtest @MaxMaseratiUltimate lines (MAs/MACD/VWAP,DWA etc..) Statistical Backtest
This is a comprehensive statistical backtesting tool that allows traders to objectively measure the performance of 27+ different trading lines across multiple timeframes and sessions. Instead of guessing which moving averages, VWAPs, or volume levels actually work for your trading style, this indicator provides hard data showing exactly how price behaves around each line at specific times of day.
The indicator solves a critical problem: most lines create whipsaws in choppy markets, but knowing which lines have the highest continuation rates vs reversal rates at specific session times helps you avoid false signals and focus on setups with proven statistical edges.

📈 STATISTICS EXPLAINED
For Each Tracked Time, You'll See:
🟢 Above Selected Lines (X samples):
Continued↑: Price stayed above the lines = bullish continuation
Reversed↓: Price broke below the lines = reversal/rejection
→Kept Going↓: After reversing down, price continued lower (bars 11-20)
→Stalled: After reversing down, price came back up (consolidation)
Neutral: Price didn't make a clear move either way
🔴 Below Selected Lines (X samples):
Continued↓: Price stayed below the lines = bearish continuation
Reversed↑: Price broke above the lines = reversal/support bounce
→Kept Going↑: After reversing up, price continued higher (bars 11-20)
→Stalled: After reversing up, price came back down (consolidation)
Neutral: No clear directional move
⭐ Star Ratings: Show which outcome happens most frequently (best probability)
🔬 HYBRID DETECTION SYSTEM (ADVANCED)
When enabled, the indicator uses a multi-signal composite scoring system that goes beyond simple percentage movements:
Signal A - % Movement Direction (40% weight):
Measures the strength and direction of price movement. Strong directional moves (>0.8%) score higher, while opposite-direction moves score negatively.
Signal B - Inside Candles (30% weight):
Detects true consolidation by counting how many candles close within a defined range. High inside-candle counts indicate choppy, stalled price action rather than clean continuation.
Signal C - Successive Closes (30% weight):
Tracks momentum persistence by counting consecutive closes in the expected direction. Long streaks (6+ bars) indicate strong follow-through, while breaks in the sequence suggest weakness.
Composite Score Classification:
⭐⭐⭐ Strong (75-100 points): All three signals align - high-confidence pattern
⭐⭐ Moderate (50-75 points): Two signals agree - reliable pattern
⭐ Weak (25-50 points): Mixed signals - lower confidence
⚠️ Strong Stalled (0-25 points): Signals show consolidation/reversal
This provides nuanced pattern detection that identifies not just IF a pattern succeeded, but HOW STRONGLY it performed.
💡 INTERPRETING RESULTS
Good Lines Show:
High continuation % when price is above/below (>60% is strong)
Clean "Kept Going" patterns after reversals (>50% indicates reliable rejection)
Low stalled % (less whipsaw/consolidation)
Consistent patterns across multiple times (validates the line's reliability)
Poor Lines Show:
50/50 continuation vs reversal (coin flip = no edge)
High stalled % (lots of whipsaw/false signals)
Inconsistent patterns across different times (unreliable)
Example Interpretation:
9:30 AM - VWAP Daily (120 samples)
🟢 Above:
Continued↑ 75 (62.5%) ⭐ BEST
Reversed↓ 30 (25.0%)
Meaning: When price is above VWAP Daily at 9:30 AM, it continues higher 62.5% of the time - this is a statistically strong bullish signal for that session time.
🎯 PRACTICAL VALUE
Solves the Whipsaw Problem:
Most moving averages and lines work beautifully in trending markets but create endless false signals in choppy, range-bound conditions. By analyzing specific session times and continuation vs reversal patterns, you can:
Identify high-probability setups: Focus on lines that show >60% continuation at your preferred trading times
Avoid weak signals: Skip lines with high stall rates or 50/50 outcomes
Time your entries better: Know which session times produce the cleanest patterns
Combine complementary lines: Stack multiple high-scoring lines for confluence
Adapt to market conditions: Switch to different lines when market structure changes
Real-World Application:
Instead of blindly trading VWAP crosses or MA bounces, you'll have objective data showing: "At 9:30 AM on ES, when price is above Mid MA + VWAP Daily + Volume POC, it continues higher 68% of the time with strong momentum (⭐⭐⭐)." This transforms discretionary guesswork into data-driven decision making.

ATR Bands (MA Distance)ATR Bands (MA Distance) plots volatility-based bands at a multiple of ATR away from a selected moving average.
Unlike percentage envelopes or standard deviation bands, this indicator measures distance from the moving average using ATR, representing the market’s normal “breathing range” rather than statistical probability.
Key Features
The center line is a selectable moving average (EMA, SMA, RMA/Wilder, or WMA).
Upper and lower bands are calculated as:
Moving Average ± ATR × Multiplier
Band width automatically adapts to changing market volatility.
Designed for consistent use across different markets and timeframes without parameter re-optimization.
Non-repainting: all values are calculated only from confirmed historical bars.
Intended Use
ATR Bands (MA Distance) is best used as a context and preparation tool , not as a direct entry or exit signal.
Typical use cases include:
Identifying areas where price is extended relative to its recent volatility.
Visualizing normal vs. stretched price distance from the moving average.
Supporting range-based analysis or trade preparation when combined with other indicators (e.g., oscillators).
Important Notes / How NOT to Use
This indicator does NOT generate buy or sell signals by itself .
Touching or crossing a band does not imply an automatic reversal.
In strong trending markets, price may stay outside the bands for extended periods.
ATR Bands should not be interpreted as overbought/oversold levels on their own.
This indicator does NOT repaint. Once a bar is closed, its values will not change.
For best results:
Use ATR Bands as a preparation zone, then wait for confirmation from your own entry logic.
Disable or ignore band-based mean-reversion ideas during strong trend conditions.
Concept Summary (Short)
ATR Bands (MA Distance) visualize how far price has moved from its moving average in terms of volatility, without repainting and without relying on percentage deviation or statistical assumptions.
Optional Short Description (Preview)
Volatility-based, non-repainting ATR bands plotted at a distance from a moving average.
Designed for market context and trade preparation — not standalone signals.

THE ELVINATORTHE ELVINATOR is my trend-following momentum indicator built on the 20 EMA, 50 EMA, and 200 EMA, designed for trading **XAUUSD during the New York session (9:30–17:00 NY time), Monday through Friday**.
**How to trade it:**
* **Trend filter:** Only take **longs above the 200 EMA** and **shorts below the 200 EMA**. This keeps trades aligned with Gold’s dominant direction.
* **Long setups:** A **20 EMA cross above the 50 EMA** signals bullish momentum. Best entries come after a pullback into the 20–50 EMA zone followed by strong continuation candles.
* **Short setups:** A **20 EMA cross below the 50 EMA** signals bearish momentum. Look for pullbacks into the EMA zone and rejection before continuation lower.
* **Timing:** Focus on NY open and high-volume moves. Avoid choppy conditions and late-session exhaustion.
* **Risk & exits:** Place stops beyond recent swings or EMA structure. Targets can be prior highs/lows or scaled with trend continuation.
THE ELVINATOR is built for **structure, patience, and disciplined execution**, allowing traders to capitalize on Gold’s volatility without chasing noise.

================================================================================
⚠️ IMPORTANT: INSTRUMENT SELECTION 📈
-------------------------------------
This strategy performs BEST with currency pairs (forex). The CCI indicator
works particularly well in the forex market due to the nature of currency
movements and the effectiveness of the CCI in identifying overbought and
oversold conditions in trending markets.
Why Currency Pairs? 🎯
- CCI is highly effective in identifying reversals in forex markets
- Currency pairs show clear overbought/oversold patterns
- EMA filter (50/200) aligns well with major forex trends
- High liquidity ensures reliable signal execution
Performance Highlights:
In specific currency pairs, when properly configured, this strategy can achieve:
- Profit Factor: Over 2.0
- Win Rate: Up to 70%
- Particularly effective pairs: USDCAD, EURUSD, GBPJPY
While the strategy can work with other instruments (stocks, indices, commodities),
currency pairs provide the most consistent and reliable results. For optimal
performance, focus on major forex pairs with good liquidity and clear trending
characteristics.
================================================================================
WHAT DOES THIS STRATEGY DO? 🎯
---------------------------
This strategy combines the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with Exponential
Moving Averages (EMA) to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
The strategy uses CCI crossovers with a smoothing moving average and filters
signals using EMA trend confirmation. The strategy automatically enters trades
when CCI crosses the smoothing MA in specific zones, indicating potential trend
reversals or continuations.
HOW IT WORKS? ⚙️
---------------
1. CCI CALCULATION 📈
The strategy calculates the Commodity Channel Index using:
- CCI = (Price - SMA(Price, length)) / (0.015 × Deviation(Price, length))
- Default length: 20 periods
- Source: HLC3 (typical price)
The CCI shows:
- Values above +100 = Overbought conditions
- Values below -100 = Oversold conditions
- Values around 0 = Neutral conditions
2. SMOOTHING MOVING AVERAGE 📊
A moving average is applied to the CCI to smooth out fluctuations:
- Types available: SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA
- Default: SMA with length 14
- Can be disabled (set to "None")
This smoothed line acts as a reference for crossover signals.
3. EMA TREND FILTER 🎯
Two EMAs are calculated on the CCI:
- EMA 50 (fast EMA)
- EMA 200 (slow EMA)
When the EMA filter is enabled:
- LONG signals only occur when EMA50 > EMA200 (uptrend confirmation)
- SHORT signals only occur when EMA50 < EMA200 (downtrend confirmation)
This filter can be enabled/disabled via the "Use EMA Filter" option.
4. ENTRY CONDITIONS 🎲
LONG ENTRY (Buy Signal):
- CCI crosses ABOVE the Smoothing MA (crossover)
- CCI is between Lower Level (-100) and Middle Level (0)
- EMA Filter: EMA50 > EMA200 (if filter enabled)
- No existing positions (or close opposite positions first)
SHORT ENTRY (Sell Signal):
- CCI crosses BELOW the Smoothing MA (crossunder)
- CCI is between Middle Level (0) and Upper Level (+100)
- EMA Filter: EMA50 < EMA200 (if filter enabled)
- No existing positions (or close opposite positions first)
5. POSITION MANAGEMENT 💰
The strategy uses a simple position management approach:
- Only ONE position at a time (no pyramiding)
- If a signal occurs in the opposite direction, closes existing position first
- Then opens new position in the new direction
- This prevents overexposure and simplifies risk management
6. TAKE PROFIT & STOP LOSS SETTINGS 🎯
The strategy uses percentage-based TP/SL:
- Take Profit: 1.0% (default, configurable)
- Stop Loss: 0.5% (default, configurable)
- Risk/Reward Ratio: 2:1 (TP is double the SL)
TP/SL are calculated once when the position opens and remain fixed.

Simple ema and sma cross
A simple EMA and SMA cross is an indicator that uses alpha from two moving averages: SMA (simple moving average) and EMA (exponential moving average).
The point where the EMA and SMA cross is usually a good place to enter a position.
The indicator includes smoothing settings to help you find the right calibration for your trading needs.
It also marks signals with triangles for easier use and includes alerts so you never miss a cross.
Quality-Controlled Trend Strategy v2 (Expectancy Focused)This script focuses on quality control rather than curve-fitting.
No repainting, no intrabar tricks, no fake equity curves.
It uses confirmed-bar entries, ATR-based risk, and clean trend logic so backtests reflect what could actually be traded live.
If you publish scripts, this is the minimum structure worth sharing.
Why this script exists
TradingView’s public scripts are flooded with:
repainting indicators
no stop-loss logic
curve-fit entries that collapse live
strategies that look good only in hindsight
This script is intentionally boring but honest.
No repainting.
No intrabar tricks.
No fake equity curves
The goal is quality control, not hype.
What this strategy enforces
✔ Confirmed bars only
✔ Single source of truth for indicators
✔ Fixed risk structure
✔ No signal repainting
✔ Clean exits with unique IDs
✔ Works on any liquid market
Trading Logic (simple & auditable)
Trend filter
EMA 50 vs EMA 200
Entry
Pullback to EMA 50
RSI confirms momentum (not oversold/overbought)
Risk
ATR-based stop
Fixed R:R
One position at a time
This is the minimum bar for a strategy to be considered publish-worthy.
Why this helps TradingView quality
Most low-value scripts fail because they:
hide repainting logic
skip exits entirely
use inconsistent calculations
rely on hindsight candles
This strategy forces discipline:
every signal is confirmed
every trade has defined risk
behavior is repeatable across symbols & timeframes
If more scripts followed this baseline, TradingView’s public library would be far more usable.

💡 COLLABORATION & SUPPORT
---------------------------

message. Suggestions, ideas, and comments are always welcome! 🤝
================================================================================
⚠️ IMPORTANT: INSTRUMENT SELECTION 📈
-------------------------------------
This strategy performs BEST with instruments that have a centralized data flow,
such as Futures contracts. Centralized markets provide more accurate and
reliable volume data, which is essential for Volume Delta analysis to work
effectively.
Why Futures? 🎯
- Centralized exchange = Accurate volume data
- All trades flow through a single exchange
- Volume reflects true buying/selling pressure
- Better correlation between volume and price movements
While the strategy can work with other instruments (stocks, forex, etc.),
volume data quality may vary, which can affect the reliability of Volume Delta
signals. For optimal performance, use Futures contracts or other instruments
with centralized, high-quality volume data.
================================================================================
WHAT DOES THIS STRATEGY DO? 🎯
---------------------------
This strategy uses Volume Delta analysis combined with Exponential Moving
Averages (EMA) to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The Volume
Delta measures the difference between buying and selling pressure, helping to
identify when strong institutional or smart money movements occur. The strategy
automatically enters trades when volume delta reaches extreme levels, indicating
potential trend continuation or reversal points.
HOW IT WORKS? ⚙️
---------------
1. VOLUME DELTA CALCULATION 📈
The strategy calculates the Volume Delta using the following formula:
- Volume Ratio (v) = Current Volume / Previous Volume
- EMA of Close (mac) = EMA(Close, MA Length) × Volume Ratio
- EMA of Open (mao) = EMA(Open, MA Length) × Volume Ratio
- Volume Delta (vd) = mac - mao
The Volume Delta shows:
- Positive values (green) = Buying pressure (buyers are more active)
- Negative values (red) = Selling pressure (sellers are more active)
2. VOLUME DELTA MOVING AVERAGE 📊
The strategy calculates an EMA of the Volume Delta (vdma) to smooth out
fluctuations and identify the overall trend of buying/selling pressure:
- vdma = EMA(Volume Delta, EMA Length)
- When vdma is above zero = Overall buying pressure
- When vdma is below zero = Overall selling pressure
3. PERCENTILE-BASED ENTRY CONDITIONS 🎲
Instead of using fixed thresholds, the strategy uses percentile analysis to
identify extreme volume delta movements:
For LONG entries:
- Analyzes seller volumes (negative volume delta) over the lookback period
- Calculates the percentile threshold (default: 80th percentile)
- Enters LONG when volume delta becomes positive AND exceeds the threshold
- This indicates a strong shift from selling to buying pressure
For SHORT entries:
- Analyzes buyer volumes (positive volume delta) over the lookback period
- Calculates the percentile threshold (default: 80th percentile)
- Enters SHORT when volume delta becomes negative AND exceeds the threshold
- This indicates a strong shift from buying to selling pressure
4. POSITION SIZING 💰
The strategy offers two position sizing methods:
a) RISK VALUE (Fixed Risk in Dollars):
- Calculates position size based on a fixed dollar risk amount
- Formula: Position Size = Risk Amount / (Entry Price × Stop Loss %)
- Ensures consistent risk per trade regardless of price level
b) LOTS SIZE:
- Uses a fixed lot size for all trades
- Simple and straightforward approach
- Useful when you want consistent position sizes
5. TAKE PROFIT & STOP LOSS SETTINGS 🎯
The strategy offers flexible TP/SL configuration in three modes:
a) PERCENTAGE (%):
- TP/SL calculated as a percentage of entry price
- Example: 2% TP means entry price × 1.02 (for LONG) or × 0.98 (for SHORT)
- Adapts automatically to different price levels
b) CURRENCY:
- TP/SL set as a fixed currency amount
- Example: $100 TP means entry price + $100 (for LONG) or - $100 (for SHORT)
- Useful for instruments with consistent price movements
c) PIPS:
- TP/SL set as a fixed number of pips
- Automatically converts pips to price using the instrument's minimum tick
- Ideal for forex and other pip-based instruments
6. AUTOMATIC TRADE EXECUTION ⚡
When entry conditions are met:
- Opens a position (LONG or SHORT) at market price
- Automatically sets Take Profit and Stop Loss based on selected mode
- Sends an alert with all trade information
- Only one position at a time (waits for current position to close)

IPO MA Start DetectorWhat is this tool?
This indicator is designed specifically for Fresh IPOs and recently listed stocks. Standard indicators like the 50-day or 200-day Moving Averages do not appear on a chart until the stock has traded for enough days. This tool solves that problem by telling you exactly when these key levels will appear.
It visualizes the "birth" of a Moving Average, both in the past and in the future.
Key Features:
Future Forecasting: Projects vertical lines into the future to show exactly when a specific MA (e.g., 50 DMA) will start calculating.
Countdown Timer: Displays a countdown (e.g., "Starts in 12 days") so you don't have to count candles manually.
Historical Start Points: Marks the exact candle where an MA (like the 10 or 20 EMA) first appeared historically.
Clean & Subtle: Uses floating text without heavy background boxes to keep your chart clutter-free.
Dark Mode Optimized: Uses bright, neon colors (Lime, Cyan, Orange) that pop against dark backgrounds.
How it works:
The script calculates the age of the stock (bar count).
If the stock is younger than the required MA length (e.g., only 30 days old), it projects a dashed line to the 50th day.
It anchors a label to that future date, showing you the countdown.
Settings:
Toggle MAs: Turn on/off 10 EMA, 20 EMA, 50 SMA, 100 SMA, or 200 SMA individually.
Label Location: Customize where the future labels appear (Above Price, Below Price, or At Price) to avoid overlapping with candles.
Use Case: Perfect for traders tracking new listings who are waiting for the "20 EMA pullback" or "50 DMA anchor" strategies to become valid.
VWAP Long Entry PROVWAP Long Entry PRO - Instruction Manual
Overview
VWAP Long Entry PRO is a Pine Script v6 indicator designed for day traders following Andrew Aziz's VWAP trading methodology from "How to Day Trade for a Living." The indicator identifies high-probability long entry opportunities when stocks bounce off VWAP with proper trend, volume, and timing confirmation.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator monitors multiple conditions simultaneously and alerts you only when ALL criteria are met for a valid VWAP long entry:
1. ✅ Price is near VWAP (within customizable proximity)
2. ✅ Price crosses above VWAP (bullish candle confirmation)
3. ✅ Uptrend confirmed (EMA 20 > EMA 50)
4. ✅ Volume spike present (volume > 1.5x average)
5. ✅ Within optimal trading hours (default: first 2 hours after market open)

4. All filters (trend, volume, time) must be green
Stop Loss:
* Place stop 2-5 cents below VWAP
* Adjust based on stock volatility and your risk tolerance
Profit Targets:
* First target: Previous resistance or swing high
* Second target: Daily pivot or Fibonacci extension
* Trailing stop: Move stop to breakeven once up 1:1 risk/reward
Risk Management:
* Risk 1-2% of account per trade
* Position size based on distance from stop loss
* Aim for 2:1 or 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio
Common Scenarios
Scenario 1: Clean VWAP Bounce
* All filters green ✓
* Price pulls back to VWAP
* Green triangle appears
* Action: Enter long immediately
Scenario 2: Failed Volume
* Trend ✓, Time ✓, Near VWAP ✓
* Volume ✗ (red X)
* Action: Wait for volume increase or skip trade
Scenario 3: Wrong Time Window
* All filters green except Time ✗
* Action: If you trade mid-day, consider extending time window in settings
Scenario 4: Downtrend
* Trend ✗ (EMA 20 < EMA 50)
* Action: Skip long entry; consider short setup instead
Scenario 5: False Breakout
* Light red background appears (filters failed)
* Price crossed VWAP but no confirmation
* Action: No entry; indicator correctly filtered out weak signal
Best Practices
1. Pre-Market Preparation
* Run your gappers scanner at 9:00 AM EST
* Identify 3-5 stocks "in play"
* Add VWAP Long Entry PRO to each chart
* Set up alerts for your watchlist
2. Chart Timeframe Selection

* Overall market trend (SPY, QQQ)
* Stock-specific news and catalysts
4. Backtesting
* Use TradingView's Bar Replay feature
* Review past signals on your favorite stocks
* Adjust filter settings based on your results
* Document win rate and average R:R
5. Paper Trading First
* Test the indicator with paper trading for 1-2 weeks
* Track all signals and outcomes
* Refine settings before risking real capital

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this for short entries?
A: The current version is for long entries only. For shorts, you'd need to reverse the logic (price rejecting VWAP as resistance, downtrend, etc.).
Q: What stocks work best with this indicator?
A: Mid-cap momentum stocks ($1B-$10B market cap), price $10-$100, daily volume > 1M, with a clear catalyst (earnings, news, sector move).
Q: Can I trade this on daily or weekly charts?
A: No. VWAP is an intraday indicator that resets each trading day. Use only on intraday timeframes (1m, 2m, 5m, 15m, 30m).
Q: Should I take every signal?
A: No. Use the indicator as a filter, not a mechanical system. Consider overall market conditions, stock-specific catalysts, and your own price action analysis.
Q: How accurate is this indicator?
A: Accuracy depends on market conditions, stock selection, and your execution. Expect 50-65% win rate with proper 2:1+ risk/reward, similar to Aziz's methodology.

Price % Distance from 52 Weeks High, and EMAs"Stop guessing how far extended the price is—measure it instantly."
As a swing trader, knowing the exact distance between the current price and your key moving averages is critical. It tells you if a stock is overextended (too far) or offering a low-risk pullback entry (near 0%).
This lightweight utility script calculates the real-time percentage distance of the closing price from three critical levels:
10 EMA (Short-term momentum)
20 EMA (Swing trend baseline)
52-Week High (Major structural resistance)
It displays this data in a single, clean Smart Label attached to the latest candle, keeping your chart clutter-free.
Key Features
📊 Instant Calculation: See exactly how far (%) the price is from the 10 EMA, 20 EMA, and 52-Week High without using a measuring tool.
🧠 Intelligent Trend Coloring: The text color changes dynamically based on the immediate trend:
🟢 Green Text: Price is ABOVE both 10 & 20 EMAs (Bullish / Buy-the-dip zone).
🔴 Red Text: Price is BELOW both 10 & 20 EMAs (Bearish / Caution).
⚪ White Text: Price is mixed/choppy (between the EMAs).
👁️ High Contrast Design: Uses a semi-transparent dark background that ensures the data is clearly visible on both Light and Dark mode charts.
How to Use for Swing Trading
Pullback Entries: In a strong uptrend (Green Text), watch for the 10 EMA or 20 EMA % value to drop near 0.0% to 0.5%. This indicates a pullback to the average—often a high-probability entry point.
Overextension Warning: If the % distance becomes unusually large (e.g., Price is +5% above the 10 EMA), the move may be overextended, signaling to tighten stops or take profit.
52-Week Breakouts: Monitor the 52W % distance. As it approaches 0.0%, the stock is challenging its yearly high, alerting you to potential breakout plays.
Settings
EMA Lengths: Fully customizable (Default: 10 & 20).
Lookback: Adjust the high lookback period (Default: 260 bars for 52 Weeks).
Position: Toggle the label to appear Above or Below the candle.
MTF EMAs: 200 EMA (1hr & 15m), 8 EMA (5m)Using the 200 ema on 1hr and 15 min timeframe to ID entry points for scalping.
Bar Countdown ClockBar Countdown Clock
Description:
Displays the remaining time for the current bar on the chart. The countdown label follows the previous EMA5 price to stay stable during high-volatility markets. Font size and label position are fully customizable. Works well on BTC, Gold, Forex, and other trading instruments.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust Clock Color, Font Size, and X Offset to suit your preference.
The label will automatically track the previous EMA5 price.
The countdown updates in real-time until the current bar closes.
Tips:
Increase X Offset if the label overlaps the current bar.
For high-volatility instruments, the label remains stable by following EMA5.
EMA Length can be adjusted to change the anchor point for the label.
MTF EMA50/200 // ADX (Auto TF Pairing) with SL/TP // v6Strategy overview (EMA50/EMA200 + ADX, multi-timeframe):
This system trades only in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend and uses the current chart timeframe for precise entries.
Trend filter (Higher TF):
Bull trend: EMA50 > EMA200 and ADX ≥ threshold → only LONGs allowed
Bear trend: EMA50 < EMA200 and ADX ≥ threshold → only SHORTs allowed
If ADX is below the “no-trend” threshold, the market is considered choppy and trades are avoided.
Entry (Lower TF / chart TF):
Enter only when the chart timeframe confirms momentum in the HTF direction using one of:
Touch: price pulls back to EMA50 and closes back on the trend side
Rejection: stricter “touch + reject” near EMA50
Cross: close crosses EMA50 in the trend direction
Stop Loss (structure + volatility):
LONG: below the safer of last swing low or EMA50, minus an ATR buffer
SHORT: above the safer of last swing high or EMA50, plus an ATR buffer
Take Profit (risk-based):
Targets are set as multiples of risk (R) from entry:
TP1 = 2R (default)
TP2 = 3R (optional)
The indicator plots only the latest trade’s Entry (black line), Stop (red dashed), and TP (green dashed), and it auto-pairs the chart timeframe with a “next level up” higher timeframe for the trend filter.
Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO)Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO) is a composite trend-following strategy specifically engineered for XAUUSD (Gold) and volatile assets on H4 (4-Hour) and Daily timeframes.
This script aims to solve a common problem in trend trading: "Whipsaws in Sideways Markets." Instead of relying on a single indicator, GVTO employs a Multi-Factor Confluence System that filters out low-probability trades by requiring alignment across Trend Structure, Momentum, and Volatility.
🛠 Methodology & Logic
The strategy executes trades only when four distinct technical conditions overlap (Confluence). If any single condition is not met, the trade is filtered out to preserve capital.
1. Market Structure Filter (200 EMA)
Indicator: Exponential Moving Average (Length 200).
Logic: The 200 EMA acts as the baseline for the long-term trend regime.
Bullish Regime: Price must close above the 200 EMA.
Bearish Regime: Price must close below the 200 EMA.
Purpose: Prevents counter-trend trading against the macro direction.
2. Signal Trigger & Trailing Stop (Supertrend)
Indicator: Supertrend (ATR Length 14, Factor 3.5).
Logic: Uses Average True Range (ATR) to detect trend reversals while accounting for volatility.
Purpose: Provides the specific entry signal and acts as a dynamic trailing stop-loss to let profits run while cutting losses when the trend invalidates.
3. Volatility Gatekeeper (ADX Filter)
Indicator: Average Directional Index (Length 14).
Threshold: > 25.
Logic: A high ADX value indicates a strong trend presence, regardless of direction.
Purpose: This is the most critical filter. It prevents the strategy from entering trades during "choppy" or ranging markets (consolidation zones) where trend-following systems typically fail.
4. Momentum Confirmation (DMI)
Indicator: Directional Movement Index (DI+ and DI-).
Logic: Checks if the buying pressure (DI+) is physically stronger than selling pressure (DI-), or vice versa.
Purpose: Ensures that the price movement is backed by genuine momentum, not just a momentary price spike.
📋 How to Use This Strategy
🟢 LONG (BUY) Setup
A Buy signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes ABOVE the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to GREEN (Bullish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI+ (Plus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI- (Minus).
🔴 SHORT (SELL) Setup
A Sell signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes BELOW the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to RED (Bearish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI- (Minus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI+ (Plus).
🛡 Exit Strategy
Stop Loss / Take Profit: The strategy utilizes the Supertrend Line as a dynamic Trailing Stop.
Exit Long: When Supertrend turns Red.
Exit Short: When Supertrend turns Green.
Note: Traders can also use the real-time P/L Dashboard included in the script to manually secure profits based on their personal Risk:Reward ratio.

Real-Time P/L Dashboard: A table in the top-right corner displays the current trend status, ADX strength, and the Unrealized Profit/Loss % of the current active position.
Smart Labeling: Buy/Sell labels are coded to appear only on the initial entry trigger. They do not repaint and do not spam the chart if the trend continues (no pyramiding visualization).
Visual Aids: Background color changes (Green/Red) to visually represent the active trend based on the Supertrend status.
