Investments/swing trading strategy for different assetsStop worrying about catching the lowest price, it's almost impossible!: with this trend-following strategy and protection from bearish phases, you will know how to enter the market properly to obtain benefits in the long term.
Backtesting context: 1899-11-01 to 2023-02-16 of SPX by Tvc. Commissions: 0.05% for each entry, 0.05% for each exit. Risk per trade: 2.5% of the total account
For this strategy, 5 indicators are used:
One Ema of 200 periods
Atr Stop loss indicator from Gatherio
Squeeze momentum indicator from LazyBear
Moving average convergence/divergence or Macd
Relative strength index or Rsi
Trade conditions:
There are three type of entries, one of them depends if we want to trade against a bearish trend or not.
---If we keep Against trend option deactivated, the rules for two type of entries are:---
First type of entry:
With the next rules, we will be able to entry in a pull back situation:
Squeeze momentum is under 0 line (red)
Close is above 200 Ema and close is higher than the past close
Histogram from macd is under 0 line and is higher than the past one
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
For closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
Second type of entry:
With the next rules, we will not lose a possible bullish movement:
Close is above 200 Ema
Squeeze momentum crosses under 0 line
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
Like in the past type of entry, for closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
---If we keep Against trend option activated, the rules are the same as the ones above, but with one more type of entry. This is more useful in weekly timeframes, but could also be used in daily time frame:---
Third type of entry:
Close is under 200 Ema
Squeeze momentum crosses under 0 line
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
Like in the past type of entries, for closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
Risk management
For calculating the amount of the position you will use just a small percent of your initial capital for the strategy and you will use the atr stop loss for this.
Example: You have 1000 usd and you just want to risk 2,5% of your account, there is a buy signal at price of 4,000 usd. The stop loss price from atr stop loss is 3,900. You calculate the distance in percent between 4,000 and 3,900. In this case, that distance would be of 2.50%. Then, you calculate your position by this way: (initial or current capital * risk per trade of your account) / (stop loss distance).
Using these values on the formula: (1000*2,5%)/(2,5%) = 1000usd. It means, you have to use 1000 usd for risking 2.5% of your account.
We will use this risk management for applying compound interest.
In settings, with position amount calculator, you can enter the amount in usd of your account and the amount in percentage for risking per trade of the account. You will see this value in green color in the upper left corner that shows the amount in usd to use for risking the specific percentage of your account.
Script functions
Inside of settings, you will find some utilities for display atr stop loss, break evens, positions, signals, indicators, etc.
You will find the settings for risk management at the end of the script if you want to change something. But rebember, do not change values from indicators, the idea is to not over optimize the strategy.
If you want to change the initial capital for backtest the strategy, go to properties, and also enter the commisions of your exchange and slippage for more realistic results.
If you activate break even using rsi, when rsi crosses under overbought zone break even will be activated. This can work in some assets.
---Important: In risk managment you can find an option called "Use leverage ?", activate this if you want to backtest using leverage, which means that in case of not having enough money for risking the % determined by you of your account using your initial capital, you will use leverage for using the enough amount for risking that % of your acount in a buy position. Otherwise, the amount will be limited by your initial/current capital---
Some things to consider
USE UNDER YOUR OWN RISK. PAST RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT THE FUTURE.
DEPENDING OF % ACCOUNT RISK PER TRADE, YOU COULD REQUIRE LEVERAGE FOR OPEN SOME POSITIONS, SO PLEASE, BE CAREFULL AND USE CORRECTLY THE RISK MANAGEMENT
Do not forget to change commissions and other parameters related with back testing results!

Donchian DipThe Donchian Dip
This strategy is designed to look for good "Buy the Dip" entries on stocks that are clearly in a strong 1-year upward trend. If you do not know how to identify those stocks on your own please do not use this system or continue your education until you do. The Donchian Dip strategy was designed on the daily time frame but works amazingly well on both daily and weekly timeframes. It does still work on intraday charts also if the current trend on the daily chart is in a strong uptrend.
Chart Setup:
3-period Donchian Channel with a 1-period offset (hide basis)
Bollinger Bands with the default settings of 20/2 (display basis)
Entry Signals:
There are 3 different entry signals that will be printed on the chart that have similar underlying criteria but are ranked based on skill level just like ski slope skill levels! I recommend only taking green entries until you are familiar with the system and the stocks you are trading.
Green Easy Entry:
This is the safest buy the dip entry that is normally found at or near a large retracement bottom. You might get one or two bad entries but be persistent and eventually, a great entry will present itself!
These are the specifics for the conditions that trigger a Green entry if you want to know what they are:
1. The current bar is an up bar (green or white bar) and closed above the lower Donchian channel
2. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the lower Donchian channel
3. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the Bollinger Band Basis (20 SMA )
4. The low of the previous bar or 2 bars back was below the lower Bollinger Band
Blue Intermediate Entry:
This is a decent entry if you missed the green entry, want to add to an existing position, or are not sure it will pull back far enough to even give a green entry. I would suggest only trade these entries to add to an existing pyramid position or get back into a trade that you were recently stopped out of. However, on high-flying stocks like TSLA these signals and the Black Diamond entry signals might be the only ones you get for a long time. Also, on the weekly chart, Blue or Black entries are sometimes all you will get for a year or more.
These are the specifics for the conditions that trigger a Blue entry if you want to know what they are:
1. The current bar is an up bar (green or white bar) and closed above the lower Donchian channel
2. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the lower Donchian channel
3. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the Bollinger Band Basis (20 SMA )
Black Diamond Advanced Rule:
This is normally just a small pullback re-entry signal on a strong trending stock like TSLA ...trade with extreme caution!!! You have been warned but daredevils feel free to give it a shot. I sometimes do trade these entries if the market and sector of the stock I am trading are extremely bullish or if I am looking to add to a position but I use a conservative stop.
These are the specifics for the conditions that trigger a Black entry if you want to know what they are:
1. The current bar is an up bar (green or white bar) and closed above the lower Donchian channel
2. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the lower Donchian channel
3. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed above the Bollinger Band Basis (20 SMA )
Exit Criteria:
The goal of this strategy is to buy the dip and hold as long as possible...let's practice some Paytience and exercise those holding muscles! RLT!!!
So, we don't want to exit early but we also want to protect our profits somehow. We do this by using the built-in trailing stops that are defined by dots of three different shades of purple on the chart (feel free to change these in the settings). Simply move your trailing stop to the highest current dot price level. Do not move the trailing stop down ever even if a lower dot is printed later. These are simply the suggested trailing stops and definitely use your own judgment for exits but if you backtest this strategy enough you will most likely discover that in the long run, these trailing stops work really well.
I hope this strategy helps you to identify good "Buy the Dip" entries on stocks you love as well as trains you to hold your winners longer for bigger gains.

Katz Candle Momentum Reversal Indicator v4.1Katz Candle Momentum Reversal Indicator (CMRI) v4.1
Overview
The Katz CMRI is a comprehensive trading indicator designed to identify trend direction, momentum shifts, and potential market reversals. It combines several different concepts into a single, cohesive visual tool.
At its core, the indicator uses a custom Line Break chart calculation to filter out market noise and a Heikin-Ashi-style formula to smooth price action. This combination helps to more clearly define the underlying trend. The main output is a dynamic, multi-colored trend line accompanied by various signals that appear directly on your chart. It's designed to help traders stay with the trend while also spotting key moments of expansion, contraction, and potential reversal.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator has several key visual components:
Main Trend Line: This is the thick, central line that changes color.
Green: Indicates a bullish (upward) trend.
Red: Indicates a bearish (downward) trend.
Faded/Light Colors: Suggest a potential loss of momentum or a pullback within the trend.
White: Signals a significant break in the trend structure.
Trend Cloud: The shaded area between the main trend line and the white midline (mid). A green cloud shows the trend is above the midpoint, while a red cloud shows it's below.
Upper/Lower Bands: The aqua (Trend Up) and yellow (Trend Down) lines represent the recent highs and lows of the established trend. When price is pushing against these bands, it signals trend strength.
Background Colors:
Gray: A "Contraction Zone." This indicates that the trend is losing momentum and consolidating, warning of potential chop or a reversal.
Blue: An "Expansion Event." This highlights a sudden increase in momentum in the direction of the trend.
Signal Shapes:
Diamonds: These are the primary entry signals. A green diamond below a candle signals a potential long entry, while a red diamond above a candle signals a potential short entry.
โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ Arrows: These are secondary momentum signals. They can be used as confirmation that the trend is continuing.
Trading Strategy & Rules
This strategy uses the primary diamond signals for entries and trend changes for exits.
Long Trade (Buy) Rules
Entry: Wait for a green diamond to appear below the price candles. For confirmation, the main trend line should turn solid green, and the price should ideally be above the white midline.
Exit:
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below the recent swing low or below the candle where the green diamond appeared.
Take Profit: Consider exiting the trade when a red diamond appears above the candles, signaling a potential trend reversal. Alternatively, a trader might exit if the background turns gray (Contraction Zone), indicating the bullish momentum has faded.
Short Trade (Sell) Rules
Entry: Wait for a red diamond to appear above the price candles. For confirmation, the main trend line should turn solid red, and the price should ideally be below the white midline.
Exit:
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss above the recent swing high or above the candle where the red diamond appeared.
Take Profit: Consider exiting the trade when a green diamond appears below the candles. A gray "Contraction Zone" can also serve as an early warning to exit as bearish momentum wanes.
Indicator Filters Explained
The indicator includes a "Trend Filter Type" setting that allows you to adjust its sensitivity. This can help reduce false signals in choppy markets.
Raw: This is the most sensitive setting. It will generate a trend change signal as soon as the basic conditions are met. Use this for scalping or in strongly trending markets, but be aware that it may produce more false signals.
OutStep: This is the default, balanced setting. It adds an extra layer of confirmation by requiring the main trend line itself to be moving in the direction of the new trend. For example, a new green signal will only be confirmed if the trend line's value is higher than its previous value. This helps filter out weak signals.
FullStep: This is the most conservative and filtered setting. It includes the "OutStep" logic and adds further conditions related to the upper and lower trend bands. This setting will produce the fewest signals, but they are generally the highest quality, making it suitable for swing trading or avoiding choppy market conditions.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be considered financial advice. All trading involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The signals generated by this indicator are for educational and informational purposes only.

Trendline Breakout Strategy [KedArc Quant] Description
A single, rule-based system that builds two trendlines from confirmed swing pivots and trades their breakouts, with optional retest, trend-regime gates (EMA / HTF EMA), and ATR-based risk. All parts serve one decision flow: structure โ breakout โ gated entry โ managed risk.
What it does (for traders)
Draws Up line (teal) through the last two Higher Lows and Down line (red) through the last two Lower Highs, then extends them forward.
Long when price breaks above red; Short when price breaks below teal.
Optional Retest entry: after a break, wait for a pullback toward the broken line within an ATR-scaled buffer.
Uses ATR stop and R-multiple target so risk is consistent across symbols/timeframes.
Labels HL1/HL2/LH1/LH2 so non-coders can verify which pivots built each line.
Why these components are combined
Pure breakout systems on trendlines suffer from three practical issues:
False breaks in chop โ solved by trend-regime gates (EMA / HTF EMA) that only allow trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
Uneven volatility across markets/timeframes โ solved by ATR-based stop/target, normalizing distance so R-multiples are comparable.
First break whipsaws near wedge apices โ mitigated by the optional retest rule that demands a pullback/hold before entry.
These modules are not separate indicators with their own signals. They are support roles inside one method.
The pivot engine defines structure, the breakout detector defines signal, the regime gates decide if weโre allowed to take that signal, and the ATR module sizes risk.
Together they make the trendline breakout usable, testable, and explainable.
How it works (mechanism; each component explained)
1) Pivot engine (structure, non-repainting)
Swings are confirmed with ta.pivotlow/high(L, R). A pivot only exists after R bars (no look-ahead), so once plotted, the line built from those pivots will not repaint.
2) Trendline builder (geometry)
Teal line updates when two consecutive pivot lows satisfy HL2.price > HL1.price (and HL2 occurs after HL1).
Red line updates when two consecutive pivot highs satisfy LH2.price < LH1.price.
Lines are extended right and their current value is read every bar via line.get_price().
3) Breakout detector (signal)
On every bar, compute:
crossover(close, redLine) โ Long breakout
crossunder(close, tealLine) โ Short breakdown
4) Regime gates (trend filters, not separate signals)
EMA gate: allow longs only if close > EMA(len), shorts only if close < EMA(len).
HTF EMA gate (optional): same rule on a higher timeframe to avoid fighting the larger trend.
These do not create entries; they simply permit or block the breakout signal.
5) Retest module (optional confirmation)
After a breakout, record the line price. A valid retest occurs if price pulls back within an ATR-scaled buffer toward that broken line and then closes back in the breakout direction.
This reduces first-tick fakeouts.
6) Risk module (position exit)
Initial stop = ATR(len) ร atrMult from entry.
Target = tpR ร (ATR ร atrMult) (e.g., 2R).
This keeps results consistent across instruments/timeframes.
Entries & exits
Long entry
Base: close breaks above red and passes EMA/HTF gates.
Retest (if enabled): after the break, price pulls back near the broken red line (within the ATR buffer) and holds; then enter.
Short entry
Mirror logic with teal (break below & gates), optionally with a retest.
Exit
strategy.exit places ATR stop & R-multiple target automatically.
Optional โflipโ: close if the opposite base signal triggers.
How to use it (step-by-step)
Timeframe: 1โ15m for intraday, 1โ4h for swing.
Start defaults: Pivot L/R = 5, EMA len = 200, ATR len = 14, ATR mult = 2, TP = 2R, Retest = ON.
Tune sensitivity:
Faster lines (more trades): set L/R = 3โ4.
Fewer counter-trend trades: enable HTF EMA (e.g., 60-min or Daily).
Visual audit: labels HL1/HL2 & LH1/LH2 show which pivots built each lineโverify by eye.
Alerts: use Long breakout, Short breakdown, and Retest alerts to automate.
Originality (why it merits publication)
Trades the visualization: many โauto-trendlineโ tools only draw lines; this one turns them into testable, alertable rules.
Integrated design: each component has a defined role in the same pipelineโno unrelated indicators bolted together.
Transparent & non-repainting: pivot confirmation removes look-ahead; labels let non-coders understand the setup that produced each signal.
Notes & limitations
Lines update only after pivot confirmation; that lag is intentional to avoid repainting.
Breakouts near an apex can whipsaw; prefer Retest and/or HTF gate in choppy regimes.
Backtests are idealized; forward-test and size risk appropriately.

Trishul Tap Signals (v6) โ Liquidity Sweep + Imbalanced RetestTrishul Tap Signals โ Liquidity Sweep + Imbalanced Retest
Type: Signal-only indicator (non-repainting)
Style: Price-action + Liquidity + Trend-following
Best for: Intraday & Swing Trading โ any liquid market (stocks, futures, crypto, FX)
Timeframes: Any (5mโ1D recommended)
Concept
The Trishul Tap setup is a liquidity-driven retest play inspired by order-flow and Smart Money Concepts.
It identifies one-sided impulse candles that also sweep liquidity (grab stops above/below a recent swing), then waits for price to retest the origin of that candle to enter in the trend direction.
Think of it as the three points of a trident:
Trend filter โ Only signals with the prevailing trend.
Liquidity sweep โ Candle takes out a recent swing high/low (stop-hunt).
Imbalanced retest โ Price taps the candleโs open/low (bull) or open/high (bear).
Bullish Setup
Trend Filter: Price above EMA(200).
Impulse Candle:
Green close.
Upper wick โฅ (wickRatio ร lower wick).
Lower wick โค (oppWickMaxFrac ร full range).
Liquidity Sweep: Candleโs high exceeds the highest high of the last sweepLookback bars (excluding current).
Tap Entry: Buy signal triggers when price later taps the candleโs low or open (user choice) within expireBars.
Bearish Setup
Trend Filter: Price below EMA(200).
Impulse Candle:
Red close.
Lower wick โฅ (wickRatio ร upper wick).
Upper wick โค (oppWickMaxFrac ร full range).
Liquidity Sweep: Candleโs low breaks the lowest low of the last sweepLookback bars (excluding current).
Tap Entry: Sell signal triggers when price later taps the candleโs high or open (user choice) within expireBars.
Inputs
Trend EMA Length: Default 200.
Sweep Lookback: Number of bars for liquidity sweep check (default 20).
Wick Ratio: Required size ratio of dominant wick to opposite wick (default 2.0).
Opposite Wick Max %: Opposite wick must be โค this fraction of the candleโs range (default 25%).
Tap Tolerance (ticks): How close price must come to the level to count as a tap.
Expire Bars: Max bars after setup to allow a valid tap.
One Signal per Level: If ON, a base is โconsumedโ after first signal.
Plot Tap Levels: Show horizontal lines for active bases.
Show Setup Labels: Mark the origin sweep candle.
Plots & Visuals
EMA Trend Line โ trend filter reference.
Tap Levels โ
Green = bullish base (origin candleโs low/open).
Red = bearish base (origin candleโs high/open).
Labels โ Show where the setup candle formed.
Signals โ
BUY: triangle-up below bar at bullish tap.
SELL: triangle-down above bar at bearish tap.
Alerts
Two built-in conditions:
BUY Signal (Trishul Tap) โ triggers on bullish tap.
SELL Signal (Trishul Tap) โ triggers on bearish tap.
Set via Alerts panel โ Condition = this indicator โ Choose signal type.
How to Trade It
Use in liquid markets with clean price structure.
Confirm with HTF structure, volume spikes, or other confluence if desired.
Place stop just beyond the tap level (or ATR-based).
Target 1โ2R or trail behind structure.
Why It Works
Liquidity sweep traps traders entering late (breakout buyers or panic sellers) and forces them to exit in the opposite direction, fueling your entry.
Wick imbalance confirms directional aggression by one side.
Trend filter keeps you aligned with the marketโs dominant flow.
Retest entry lets you enter at a better price with reduced risk.
Non-Repainting
Setups form only on confirmed bar closes.
Signals trigger only on later bars that tap the stored level.
No lookahead functions are used.

Breaks and Retests - Free990Strategy Description: "Breaks and Retests - Free990"
The "Breaks and Retests - Free990" strategy is based on identifying breakout and retest opportunities for potential entries in both long and short trades. The idea is to detect price breakouts above resistance levels or below support levels, and subsequently identify retests that confirm the breakout levels. The strategy offers an automated approach to enter trades after a breakout followed by a retest, which serves as a confirmation of trend continuation.
Key Components:
Support and Resistance Detection:
The strategy calculates pivot levels based on historical price movements to define support and resistance areas. A lookback range is used to determine these key levels.
Breakouts and Retests:
The system identifies when a breakout occurs above a resistance level or below a support level.
It then waits for a retest of the previously broken level as confirmation, which is often a better entry opportunity.
Trade Direction Selection:
Users can choose between "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both" directions for trading based on their market view.
Stop Loss and Trailing Stop:
An initial stop loss is placed at a defined percentage away from the entry.
The trailing stop loss is activated after the position gains a specified percentage in profit.
Long Entry:
A long entry is triggered if the price breaks above a resistance level and subsequently retests that level successfully.
The entry condition checks if the breakout was confirmed and if a retest was valid.
The long entry is only executed if the user-selected direction is either "Long Only" or "Both."
Short Entry:
A short entry is triggered if the price breaks below a support level and subsequently retests that level.
The short entry is only executed if the user-selected direction is either "Short Only" or "Both."
sell_condition checks whether the support has been broken and whether the retest condition is valid.
An initial stop loss is placed when the trade is opened to limit the risk if the trade moves against the position.
The stop loss is calculated based on a user-defined percentage (stop_loss_percent) of the entry price.
pinescript
Copy code
stop_loss_price := strategy.position_avg_price * (1 - stop_loss_percent / 100)
For long positions, the stop loss is placed below the entry price.
For short positions, the stop loss is placed above the entry price.
Trailing Stop:
When a position achieves a certain profit threshold (profit_threshold_percent), the trailing stop mechanism is activated.
For long positions, the trailing stop follows the highest price reached, ensuring that some profit is locked in if the price reverses.
For short positions, the trailing stop follows the lowest price reached.
Code Logic for Trailing Stop:
Exit Execution:
The strategy exits the position when the price hits the calculated stop loss level.
This includes both the initial stop loss and the trailing stop that adjusts as the trade progresses.
Code Logic for Exit:
Summary:
Breaks and Retests - Free990 uses support and resistance levels to identify breakouts, followed by retests for confirmation.
Entry Points: Triggered when a breakout is confirmed and a retest occurs, for both long and short trades.
Exit Points:
Initial Stop Loss: Limits risk for both long and short trades.
Trailing Stop Loss: Locks in profits as the price moves in favor of the position.
This strategy aims to capture the momentum after breakouts and minimize losses through effective use of stop loss and trailing stops. It gives the flexibility of selecting trade direction and ensures trades are taken with confirmation through the retest, which helps to reduce false breakouts.

Zero-Lag MA Trend FollowingScript Name: Zero-Lag MA Trend Following Auto-Trading
Purpose and Unique Features:
This script is designed to implement a trend-following auto-trading strategy by combining the Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and ATR Bands. To differentiate it from similar scripts, the following key aspects are emphasized:
Zero-Lag MA (ZLMA):
Responds quickly to price changes, minimizing lag compared to EMA.
Detects crossovers with EMA and generates Diamond Signals to indicate trend reversals.
ATR Bands:
Measures market volatility to set stop-loss levels.
Helps optimize entry points and manage risk effectively.
Diamond Signals:
A vital visual cue indicating the early stages of trend reversals.
Green diamonds signal an uptrend, while red diamonds signal a downtrend.
Each component plays a distinct role, working synergistically to enhance trend detection and risk management. This system doesnโt merely combine indicators but optimizes them for comprehensive trend-following and risk control.
Usage Instructions:
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
Enter when a green Diamond Signal appears (ZLMA crosses above EMA).
Short Entry:
Enter when a red Diamond Signal appears (ZLMA crosses below EMA).
Exit Conditions:
Stop Loss:
Set at the lower boundary of the ATR band for BUY or the upper boundary for SELL at entry.
Take Profit:
Automatically executed based on a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Account Size: ยฅ100,0000
Commissions and Slippage: Assumed commission of 90 pips per trade and slippage of 1 pip.
Risk per Trade: 10% of account equity (adjustable based on risk tolerance).
Improvements and Original Features:
While based on open-source code, this script incorporates the following critical enhancements:
Diamond Signals from ZLMA and EMA Integration:
Improves entry accuracy with a proprietary trend detection strategy.
ATR Bands Utilization:
Adds a volatility-based risk management function.
Optimized Visual Entry Signals:
Includes plotted triangles (โฒ, โผ) to clearly indicate trend-following entry points.

Post-Open Long Strategy with ATR-based Stop Loss and Take ProfitThe "Post-Open Long Strategy with ATR-Based Stop Loss and Take Profit" is designed to identify buying opportunities after the German and US markets open. It combines various technical indicators to filter entry signals, focusing on breakout moments following price lateralization periods.
Key Components and Their Interaction:

Multi-Step Vegas SuperTrend - strategy [presentTrading]Long time no see! I am back : ) Please allow me to gain some warm-up.
โ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Vegas SuperTrend Strategy" is an enhanced trading strategy that leverages both the Vegas Channel and SuperTrend indicators to generate buy and sell signals.
What sets this strategy apart from others is its dynamic adjustment to market volatility and its multi-step take profit mechanism. Unlike traditional single-step profit-taking approaches, this strategy allows traders to systematically scale out of positions at predefined profit levels, thereby optimizing their risk-reward ratio and maximizing potential gains.
BTCUSD 6hr performance
โ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The Vegas SuperTrend Strategy combines the strengths of the Vegas Channel and SuperTrend indicators to identify market trends and generate trade signals. The following subsections delve into the details of how each component works and how they are integrated.
๐ถ Vegas Channel Calculation
The Vegas Channel is based on a simple moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation (STD) of the closing prices over a specified period. The channel is defined by upper and lower bounds that are dynamically adjusted based on market volatility.
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
SMA_vegas = (1/N) * ฮฃ(Close_i) for i = 0 to N-1
where N is the length of the Vegas Window.
Standard Deviation (STD):
STD_vegas = sqrt((1/N) * ฮฃ(Close_i - SMA_vegas)^2) for i = 0 to N-1
Vegas Channel Upper and Lower Bounds:
VegasChannelUpper = SMA_vegas + STD_vegas
VegasChannelLower = SMA_vegas - STD_vegas
The details are here:
๐ถ Trend Detection and Trade Signals
The strategy determines the current market trend based on the closing price relative to the SuperTrend bounds:
Market Trend:
MarketTrend = 1 if Close > SuperTrendPrevLower
-1 if Close < SuperTrendPrevUpper
Previous Trend otherwise
Trade signals are generated when there is a shift in the market trend:
Bullish Signal: When the market trend shifts from -1 to 1.
Bearish Signal: When the market trend shifts from 1 to -1.
๐ถ Multi-Step Take Profit Mechanism
The strategy incorporates a multi-step take profit mechanism that allows for partial exits at predefined profit levels. This helps in locking in profits gradually and reducing exposure to market reversals.
Take Profit Levels:
The take profit levels are calculated as percentages of the entry price:
TakeProfitLevel_i = EntryPrice * (1 + TakeProfitPercent_i/100) for long positions
TakeProfitLevel_i = EntryPrice * (1 - TakeProfitPercent_i/100) for short positions
Multi-steps take profit local picture:
โ Trade Direction
The trade direction can be customized based on the user's preference:
Long: The strategy only takes long positions.
Short: The strategy only takes short positions.
Both: The strategy can take both long and short positions based on the market trend.
โ Usage
To use the Vegas SuperTrend Strategy, follow these steps:
Configure Input Settings:
- Set the ATR period, Vegas Window length, SuperTrend Multiplier, and Volatility Adjustment Factor.
- Choose the desired trade direction (Long, Short, Both).
- Enable or disable the take profit mechanism and set the take profit percentages and amounts for each step.
โ Default Settings
The default settings of the strategy are designed to provide a balanced approach to trading. Below is an explanation of each setting and its effect on the strategy's performance:
ATR Period (10): This setting determines the length of the ATR used in the SuperTrend calculation. A longer period smoothens the ATR, making the SuperTrend less sensitive to short-term volatility. A shorter period makes the SuperTrend more responsive to recent price movements.
Vegas Window Length (100): This setting defines the period for the Vegas Channel's moving average. A longer window provides a broader view of the market trend, while a shorter window makes the channel more responsive to recent price changes.
SuperTrend Multiplier (5): This base multiplier adjusts the sensitivity of the SuperTrend to the ATR. A higher multiplier makes the SuperTrend less sensitive, reducing the frequency of trade signals. A lower multiplier increases sensitivity, generating more signals.
Volatility Adjustment Factor (5): This factor dynamically adjusts the SuperTrend multiplier based on the width of the Vegas Channel. A higher factor increases the sensitivity of the SuperTrend to changes in market volatility, while a lower factor reduces it.
Take Profit Percentages (3.0%, 6.0%, 12.0%, 21.0%): These settings define the profit levels at which portions of the trade are exited. They help in locking in profits progressively as the trade moves in favor.
Take Profit Amounts (25%, 20%, 10%, 15%): These settings determine the percentage of the position to exit at each take profit level. They are distributed to ensure that significant portions of the trade are closed as the price reaches the set levels, reducing exposure to reversals.
Adjusting these settings can significantly impact the strategy's performance. For instance, increasing the ATR period or the SuperTrend multiplier can reduce the number of trades, potentially improving the win rate but also missing out on some profitable opportunities. Conversely, lowering these values can increase trade frequency, capturing more short-term movements but also increasing the risk of false signals.
PresentTrend RMI Synergy - Strategy [presentTrading] โ Introduction and How it is Different
The "PresentTrend RMI Synergy Strategy" is the combined power of the Relative Momentum Index (RMI) and a custom presentTrend indicator. This strategy introduces a multifaceted approach, integrating momentum analysis with trend direction to offer traders a more nuanced and responsive trading mechanism.
BTCUSD 6h L/S Performance
Local
โ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The "PresentTrend RMI Synergy Strategy" intricately combines the Relative Momentum Index (RMI) and a custom SuperTrend indicator to create a powerful tool for traders.
๐ถ Relative Momentum Index (RMI)
The RMI is a variation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but instead of using price closes against itself, it measures the momentum of up and down movements in price relative to previous prices over a given period. The RMI for a period length `N` is calculated as follows:
RMI = 100 - 100/ (1 + U/D)
where:
- `U` is the average upward price change over `N` periods,
- `D` is the average downward price change over `N` periods.
The RMI oscillates between 0 and 100, with higher values indicating stronger upward momentum and lower values suggesting stronger downward momentum.
RMI = 21
RMI = 42
For more information - RMI Trend Sync - Strategy :
๐ถ presentTrend Indicator
The presentTrend indicator combines the Average True Range (ATR) with a moving average to determine trend direction and dynamic support or resistance levels. The presentTrend for a period length `M` and a multiplier `F` is defined as:
- Upper Band: MA + (ATR x F)
- Lower Band: MA - (ATR x F)
where:
- `MA` is the moving average of the close price over `M` periods,
- `ATR` is the Average True Range over the same period,
- `F` is the multiplier to adjust the sensitivity.
The trend direction switches when the price crosses the presentTrend bands, signaling potential entry or exit points.
presentTrend length = 3
presentTrend length = 10
For more information - PresentTrend - Strategy :
๐ถ Strategy Logic
Entry Conditions:
- Long Entry: Triggered when the RMI exceeds a threshold, say 60, indicating a strong bullish momentum, and when the price is above the presentTrend, confirming an uptrend.
- Short Entry: Occurs when the RMI drops below a threshold, say 40, showing strong bearish momentum, and the price is below the present trend, indicating a downtrend.
Exit Conditions with Dynamic Trailing Stop:
- Long Exit: Initiated when the price crosses below the lower presentTrend band or when the RMI falls back towards a neutral level, suggesting a weakening of the bullish momentum.
- Short Exit: Executed when the price crosses above the upper presentTrend band or when the RMI rises towards a neutral level, indicating a reduction in bearish momentum.
Equations for Dynamic Trailing Stop:
- For Long Positions: The exit price is set at the lower SuperTrend band once the entry condition is met.
- For Short Positions: The exit price is determined by the upper SuperTrend band post-entry.
These dynamic trailing stops adjust as the market moves, providing a method to lock in profits while allowing room for the position to grow.
This strategy's strength lies in its dual analysis approach, leveraging RMI for momentum insights and presentTrend for trend direction and dynamic stops. This combination offers traders a robust framework to navigate various market conditions, aiming to capture trends early and exit positions strategically to maximize gains and minimize losses.
โ Trade Direction
The strategy provides flexibility in trade direction selection, offering "Long," "Short," or "Both" options to cater to different market conditions and trader preferences. This adaptability ensures that traders can align the strategy with their market outlook, risk tolerance, and trading goals.
โ Usage
To utilize the "PresentTrend RMI Synergy Strategy," traders should input their preferred settings in the Pine Scriptโข and apply the strategy to their charts. Monitoring RMI for momentum shifts and adjusting positions based on SuperTrend signals can optimize entry and exit points, enhancing potential returns while managing risk.
โ Default Settings
1. RMI Length: 21
The 21-period RMI length strikes a balance between capturing momentum and filtering out market noise, offering a medium-term outlook on market trends.
2. Super Trend Length: 7
A SuperTrend length of 7 periods is chosen for its responsiveness to price movements, providing a dynamic framework for trend identification without excessive sensitivity.
3. Super Trend Multiplier: 4.0
The multiplier of 4.0 for the SuperTrend indicator widens the trend bands, focusing on significant market moves and reducing the impact of minor fluctuations.

T3 JMA KAMA VWMAEnhancing Trading Performance with T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator
Introduction
In the dynamic world of trading, staying ahead of market trends and capitalizing on volume-driven opportunities can greatly influence trading performance. To address this, we have developed the T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator, an innovative tool that modifies the traditional Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) formula to increase responsiveness and exploit high-volume market conditions for optimal position entry. This article delves into the idea behind this modification and how it can benefit traders seeking to gain an edge in the market.
The Idea Behind the Modification
The core concept behind modifying the VWMA formula is to leverage more responsive moving averages (MAs) that align with high-volume market activity. Traditional VWMA utilizes the Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the basis for calculating the weighted average. While the SMA is effective in providing a smoothed perspective of price movements, it may lack the desired responsiveness to capitalize on short-term volume-driven opportunities.
To address this limitation, our T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator incorporates three advanced moving averages: T3, JMA, and KAMA. These MAs offer enhanced responsiveness, allowing traders to react swiftly to changing market conditions influenced by volume.
T3 (T3 New and T3 Normal):
The T3 moving average, one of the components of our indicator, applies a proprietary algorithm that provides smoother and more responsive trend signals. By utilizing T3, we ensure that the VWMA calculation aligns with the dynamic nature of high-volume markets, enabling traders to capture price movements accurately.
JMA (Jurik Moving Average):
The JMA component further enhances the indicator's responsiveness by incorporating phase shifting and power adjustment. This adaptive approach ensures that the moving average remains sensitive to changes in volume and price dynamics. As a result, traders can identify turning points and anticipate potential trend reversals, precisely timing their position entries.
KAMA (Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average):
KAMA is an adaptive moving average designed to dynamically adjust its sensitivity based on market conditions. By incorporating KAMA into our VWMA modification, we ensure that the moving average adapts to varying volume levels and captures the essence of volume-driven price movements. Traders can confidently enter positions during periods of high trading volume, aligning their strategies with market activity.
Benefits and Usage
The modified T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator offers several advantages to traders looking to exploit high-volume market conditions for position entry:
Increased Responsiveness: By incorporating more responsive moving averages, the indicator enables traders to react quickly to changes in volume and capture short-term opportunities more effectively.
Enhanced Entry Timing: The modified VWMA aligns with high-volume periods, allowing traders to enter positions precisely during price movements influenced by significant trading activity.
Improved Accuracy: The combination of T3, JMA, and KAMA within the VWMA formula enhances the accuracy of trend identification, reversals, and overall market analysis.
Comprehensive Market Insights: The T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator provides a holistic view of market conditions by considering both price and volume dynamics. This comprehensive perspective helps traders make informed decisions.
Analysis and Interpretation
The modified VWMA formula with T3, JMA, and KAMA offers traders a valuable tool for analyzing volume-driven market conditions. By incorporating these advanced moving averages into the VWMA calculation, the indicator becomes more responsive to changes in volume, potentially providing deeper insights into price movements.
When analyzing the modified VWMA, it is essential to consider the following points:
Identifying High-Volume Periods:
The modified VWMA is designed to capture price movements during high-volume periods. Traders can use this indicator to identify potential market trends and determine whether significant trading activity is driving price action. By focusing on these periods, traders may gain a better understanding of the market sentiment and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Confirmation of Trend Strength:
The modified VWMA can serve as a confirmation tool for assessing the strength of a trend. When the VWMA line aligns with the overall trend direction, it suggests that the current price movement is supported by volume. This confirmation can provide traders with additional confidence in their analysis and help them make more informed trading decisions.
Potential Entry and Exit Points:
One of the primary purposes of the modified VWMA is to assist traders in identifying potential entry and exit points. By capturing volume-driven price movements, the indicator can highlight areas where market participants are actively participating, indicating potential opportunities for opening or closing positions. Traders can use this information in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to develop comprehensive trading strategies.
Interpretation of Angle and Gradient:
The modified VWMA incorporates an angle calculation and color gradient to further enhance interpretation. The angle of the VWMA line represents the slope of the indicator, providing insights into the momentum of price movements. A steep angle indicates strong momentum, while a shallow angle suggests a slowdown. The color gradient helps visualize this angle, with green indicating bullish momentum and purple indicating bearish momentum.
Conclusion
By modifying the VWMA formula to incorporate the T3, JMA, and KAMA moving averages, the T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator offers traders an innovative tool to exploit high-volume market conditions for optimal position entry. This modification enhances responsiveness, improves timing, and provides comprehensive market insights.

KEY FEATURES
1. TREND DURATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM - The Core Innovation
The statistical analysis engine is what sets this indicator apart from standard SuperTrend systems. It doesn't just identify trend changes - it provides statistical analysis of potential duration.
How It Works:
Step 1: Historical Tracking
โข Automatically records every completed SuperTrend trend (duration in bars)
โข Maintains separate databases for bullish trends and bearish trends
โข Stores up to 15 most recent trends of each type
โข Captures market conditions at each trend flip: volume ratio, ATR ratio, quality score, price distance from SuperTrend, proximity to support/resistance
Step 2: Similarity Matching (k-Nearest Neighbors)
โข When new trend begins, system compares current conditions to ALL historical flips
โข Calculates similarity score based on:
- Volume similarity (30% weight) - Is volume behaving similarly?
- Volatility similarity (30% weight) - Is ATR/volatility similar?
- Quality similarity (20% weight) - Is setup strength comparable?
- Distance similarity (10% weight) - Is price distance from ST similar?
- Support/Resistance proximity (10% weight) - Similar structural context?
โข Selects the 15 MOST SIMILAR historical trends (not just all trends)
โข This is like asking: "When conditions looked like this before, how long did trends last?"
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
โข Calculates median duration (most common outcome)
โข Calculates average duration (mean of similar trends)
โข Determines realistic range (min to max of similar trends)
โข Applies exponential weighting (recent trends weighted more heavily)
โข Outputs confidence-weighted statistical estimate
Step 4: Advanced Intelligence (Advanced Mode Only)
The Advanced mode applies five sophisticated multipliers to refine estimates:
A) Market Structure Multiplier (ยฑ30%):
โข Detects nearby support/resistance levels using pivot detection
โข If flip occurs NEAR a key level: Estimate adjusted -30% (expect bounce/rejection)
โข If flip occurs in open space: Estimate adjusted +30% (clear path for continuation)
โข Uses configurable lookback period and ATR-based proximity threshold
B) Asset Type Multiplier (ยฑ40%):
โข Adjusts duration estimates based on asset volatility characteristics
โข Small Cap / Biotech: +40% (explosive, extended moves)
โข Tech Growth: +20% (momentum-driven, longer trends)
โข Blue Chip / Large Cap: 0% (baseline, steady trends)
โข Dividend / Value: -20% (slower, grinding trends)
โข Cyclical: Variable based on macro regime
โข Crypto / High Volatility: +30% (parabolic potential)
C) Flip Strength Multiplier (ยฑ20%):
โข Analyzes the QUALITY of the trend flip itself
โข Strong flip (high volume + expanding ATR + quality score 60+): +20%
โข Weak flip (low volume + contracting ATR + quality score under 40): -20%
โข Logic: Historical data shows that powerful flips tend to be followed by longer trends
D) Error Learning Multiplier (ยฑ15%):
โข Tracks Statistical accuracy over last 10 completed trends
โข Calculates error ratio: (estimated duration / Actual Duration)
โข If system consistently over-estimates: Apply -15% correction
โข If system consistently under-estimates: Apply +15% correction
โข Learns and adapts to current market regime
E) Regime Detection Multiplier (ยฑ20%):
โข Analyzes last 3 trends of SAME TYPE (bull-to-bull or bear-to-bear)
โข Compares recent trend durations to historical average
โข If recent trends 20%+ longer than average: +20% adjustment (trending regime detected)
โข If recent trends 20%+ shorter than average: -20% adjustment (choppy regime detected)
โข Detects whether market is in trending or mean-reversion mode
Three analysis modes:
SIMPLE MODE - Basic Statistics
โข Uses raw median of similar trends only
โข No multipliers, no adjustments
โข Best for: Beginners, clean trending markets
โข Fastest calculations, minimal complexity

โข Rising ATR (1.0-1.2x average): 15 points
โข Contracting/Stable ATR: 0 points
Volume Momentum (0-10 points):
โข Strong Momentum (1.2x+ ratio): 10 points
โข Rising Momentum (1.0-1.2x ratio): 5 points
โข Weak/Neutral Momentum: 0 points
Score Interpretation:
60-70 points - EXCELLENT:
โข All factors aligned
โข High conviction setup
โข Maximum position size (within risk limits)
โข Primary trading opportunities
45-59 points - STRONG:
โข Multiple confirmations present
โข Above-average setup quality
โข Standard position size
โข Good trading opportunities
30-44 points - GOOD:
โข Basic confirmations met
โข Acceptable setup quality
โข Reduced position size
โข Wait for additional confirmation or trade smaller
Below 30 points - WEAK:
โข Minimal confirmations
โข Low probability setup
โข Consider passing
โข Only for aggressive traders in strong trends
Only signals meeting your minimum quality threshold (configurable per preset) generate alerts and labels.
4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS
The system can simultaneously analyze trend alignment across 6 timeframes (optional feature):
Timeframes analyzed:
โข 5-minute (scalping context)
โข 15-minute (intraday momentum)
โข 1-hour (day trading bias)
โข 4-hour (swing context)
โข Daily (primary trend)
โข Weekly (macro trend)
Confluence Interpretation:
โข 5-6/6 aligned - Very strong multi-timeframe agreement (highest confidence)
โข 3-4/6 aligned - Moderate agreement (standard setup)
โข 1-2/6 aligned - Weak agreement (caution advised)
Dashboard shows real-time alignment count with color-coding. Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends.
5. VOLUME MOMENTUM FILTER - Institutional Money Flow
Unlike traditional volume indicators that just measure size, Volume Momentum tracks the RATE OF CHANGE in volume:
How it works:
โข Compares short-term volume average (fast period) to long-term average (slow period)
โข Ratio above 1.0 = Volume accelerating (money flowing IN)
โข Ratio above 1.2 = Strong acceleration (institutional participation likely)
โข Ratio below 0.8 = Volume decelerating (money flowing OUT)
Why it matters:
โข Confirms trend with actual money flow, not just price
โข Leading indicator (volume often leads price)
โข Catches accumulation/distribution before breakouts
โข More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
Integration with signals:
โข Optional filter - can be enabled/disabled per preset
โข When enabled: Only signals with rising volume momentum fire
โข AUTO-DISABLED in Scalping mode (too restrictive for fast trading)
โข Configurable fast/slow periods per trading style
6. ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND MULTIPLIER
Traditional SuperTrend uses fixed ATR multiplier. This system dynamically adjusts the multiplier (0.8x to 1.2x base) based on:
โข Trend Strength: Price correlation over lookback period
โข Volume Weight: Current volume relative to average
Benefits:
โข Tighter bands in calm markets (less premature exits)
โข Wider bands in volatile conditions (avoids whipsaws)
โข Better adaptation to biotech, small-cap, and crypto volatility
โข Optional - can be disabled for classic constant multiplier
7. VISUAL GRADIENT RIBBON
26-layer exponential gradient fill between price and SuperTrend line provides instant visual trend strength assessment:
Color System:
โข Green shades - Bullish trend + volume confirmation (strongest)
โข Blue shades - Bullish trend, normal volume
โข Orange shades - Bearish trend + volume confirmation
โข Red shades - Bearish trend (weakest)
Opacity varies based on:
โข Distance from SuperTrend (farther = more opaque)
โข Volume intensity (higher volume = stronger color)
The ribbon provides at-a-glance trend strength without cluttering your chart. Can be toggled on/off.
8. INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
Two-tier alert architecture for flexibility:
Automatic Alerts:
โข Fire automatically on BUY and SELL signals
โข Include full context: quality score, volume state, volume momentum
โข One alert per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
โข Message format: "BUY: Supertrend bullish + Quality: 65/70 | Volume: HIGH | Vol Momentum: STRONG (1.35x)"
Customizable Alert Conditions:
โข Appear in TradingView's "Create Alert" dialog
โข Three options: BUY Signal Only, SELL Signal Only, ANY Signal (BUY or SELL)
โข Use TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}, {{time}}
โข Fully customizable message templates
All alerts use barstate.isconfirmed - Zero repaint guarantee.
9. ANTI-REPAINT ARCHITECTURE
Every component guaranteed non-repainting:
โข Entry signals: Only appear after bar close
โข duration analysis boxes: Created only on confirmed SuperTrend flips
โข Informative labels: Wait for bar confirmation
โข Alerts: Fire once per closed bar
โข Multi-timeframe data: Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. No disappearing signals, no changed duration estimates.

ADVANCED FEATURES
1. Scalpel Mode (Optional)
Advanced pullback entry system that waits for healthy retracements within established trends before signaling entry:
โข Monitors price distance from SuperTrend levels
โข Requires pullback to configurable range (default: 30-50%)
โข Ensures trend remains intact before entry signal
โข Reduces whipsaw and false breakouts
โข Inspired by Mark Minervini's VCP pullback entries
Best for: Swing traders and day traders seeking precision entries
Scalpers: Consider disabling for faster entries
2. Error Learning System (Advanced analysis mode Only)
The system learns from its own estimation errors:
โข Tracks last 10-20 completed duration estimates (configurable memory depth)
โข Calculates error ratio for each: estimated duration / Actual Duration
โข If system consistently over-estimates: Applies negative correction (-15%)
โข If system consistently under-estimates: Applies positive correction (+15%)
โข Adapts to current market regime automatically
This self-correction mechanism improves accuracy over time as the system gathers more data on your specific symbol and timeframe.
3. Regime Detection (Advanced analysis mode Only)
Automatically detects whether market is in trending or choppy regime:
โข Compares last 3 trends to historical average
โข Recent trends 20%+ longer โ Trending regime (+20% to estimates)
โข Recent trends 20%+ shorter โ Choppy regime (-20% to estimates)
โข Applied separately to bullish and bearish trends
Helps duration estimates adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention.
4. Exponential Weighting
Option to weight recent trends more heavily than distant history:
โข Default decay factor: 0.9
โข Recent trends get higher weight in statistical calculations
โข Older trends gradually decay in importance
โข Rationale: Recent market behavior more relevant than old data
โข Can be disabled for equal weighting
5. Backtest Statistics
System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data:
โข Walks through past trends chronologically
โข Calculates what duration estimate WOULD have been at each flip
โข Compares to actual duration that occurred
โข Displays accuracy metrics in duration analysis boxes and dashboard
โข Helps assess statistical reliability on your specific chart
Note: Backtest uses only data available AT THE TIME of each historical flip (no lookahead bias).

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
โข Trending Markets Only: Performs best in clear trends. May generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets (use quality score filtering and regime detection to mitigate)
โข Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following systems, signals occur AFTER trend establishment, not at exact tops/bottoms. Use duration analysis boxes to set realistic profit targets.
โข Initial Learning Period: Duration analysis system requires 10-15 completed trends to build reliable historical database. Early duration estimates less accurate (first few weeks on new symbol/timeframe).
โข Visual Load: 26-layer gradient ribbon may slow performance on older devices. Disable ribbon if experiencing lag.
โข Statistical accuracy Variables: Duration estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Accuracy varies by:
- Market regime (trending vs choppy)
- Asset volatility characteristics
- Quality of historical pattern matches
- Timeframe traded (higher TF = more reliable)
โข Not Best Suitable For:
- Ultra-short-term scalping (sub-1-minute charts)
- Mean-reversion strategies (designed for trend-following)
- Range-bound trading (requires trending conditions)
- News-driven spikes (estimates based on technical patterns, not fundamentals)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: Absolutely not. All signals, duration analysis boxes, labels, and alerts use barstate.isconfirmed checks. They only appear after the bar closes. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. Zero repaint guarantee.
Q: How accurate are the trend duration estimates?
A: Accuracy varies by mode, market conditions, and historical data quality:
โข Simple mode: 60-70% accuracy (within ยฑ20% of actual duration)
โข Standard mode: 70-80% accuracy (within ยฑ20% of actual duration)
โข Advanced mode: 75-85% accuracy (within ยฑ20% of actual duration)
Best accuracy achieved on:
โข Higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly)
โข Trending markets (not choppy/sideways)
โข Assets with consistent behavior (Blue Chip, Large Cap)
โข After 20+ historical trends analyzed (builds robust database)
Remember: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns, not guarantees.
Q: Which analysis mode should I use?
A:
โข Simple: Beginners, clean trending markets, want minimal complexity
โข Standard: Most traders, general market conditions (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT)
โข Advanced: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets (biotech, small-cap, crypto), seeking maximum accuracy
Advanced mode requires correct Asset Type configuration for optimal results.
Q: What's the difference between the trading style presets?
A: Each preset optimizes ALL parameters for a specific trading approach:
โข Scalping: Ultra-sensitive (ATR 7, Mult 2.0), more signals, shorter holds
โข Day Trading: Balanced (ATR 10, Mult 2.5), moderate signals, intraday holds
โข Swing Trading: Stable (ATR 14, Mult 3.0), fewer signals, multi-day holds
โข Position Trading: Very stable (ATR 21, Mult 4.0), rare signals, week/month holds
Auto mode automatically selects based on your chart timeframe.
Q: Should I use Auto mode or manually select a preset?
A: Auto mode is recommended for most traders. It automatically matches settings to your timeframe and re-optimizes if you switch charts. Only use manual preset selection if:
โข You want scalping settings on a 15m chart (overriding auto-detection)
โข You want swing settings on a 1h chart (more conservative than auto would give)
โข You're testing different approaches on same timeframe
Q: Can I use this for scalping and day trading?
A: Absolutely! The preset system is specifically designed for all trading styles:
โข Select "Scalping (1-5m)" for 1-5 minute charts
โข Select "Day Trading (15m-1h)" for 15m-1h charts
โข Or use "Auto" mode and it configures automatically
Volume momentum filter is auto-disabled in Scalping mode for faster signals.
Q: What is Volume Momentum and why does it matter?
A: Volume Momentum compares short-term volume (fast MA) to long-term volume (slow MA). It answers: "Is money flowing into this asset faster now than historically?"
Why it matters:
โข Volume often leads price (early warning system)
โข Confirms institutional participation (smart money)
โข No lag like price-based indicators
โข More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
When the ratio is above 1.2, you have strong evidence that institutions are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish).
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Two options:
Option 1 - Automatic Alerts:
1. Right-click on chart โ Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. Choose "Any alert() function call"
4. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook)
5. You'll receive detailed alerts on every BUY and SELL signal
Option 2 - Customizable Alert Conditions:
1. Right-click on chart โ Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. You'll see three options in dropdown:
- "BUY Signal" (long signals only)
- "SELL Signal" (short signals only)
- "ANY Signal" (both BUY and SELL)
4. Choose desired option and customize message template
5. Uses TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{close}}, {{time}}, etc.
All alerts fire only on confirmed bar close (no repaint).
Q: What is Scalpel Mode and should I use it?
A: Scalpel Mode waits for healthy pullbacks within established trends before signaling entry. It reduces whipsaws and improves entry timing.
Recommended ON for:
โข Swing traders (want precision entries on pullbacks)
โข Day traders (willing to wait for better prices)
โข Risk-averse traders (prefer fewer but higher-quality entries)
Recommended OFF for:
โข Scalpers (need immediate entries, can't wait for pullbacks)
โข Momentum traders (want to enter on breakout, not pullback)
โข Aggressive traders (prefer more opportunities over precision)
Q: Why do some duration estimates show wider ranges than others?
A: Range width reflects historical trend variability:
โข Narrow range: Similar historical trends had consistent durations (high confidence)
โข Wide range: Similar historical trends had varying durations (lower confidence)
Wide ranges often occur:
โข Early in analysis (fewer historical trends to learn from)
โข In volatile/choppy markets (inconsistent trend behavior)
โข On lower timeframes (more noise, less consistency)
The median and average still provide useful targets even when range is wide.
Q: Can I customize the dashboard position and appearance?
A: Yes! Dashboard settings include:
โข Position: 9 options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right)
โข Text Size: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
โข Show/Hide: Toggle entire dashboard on/off
Choose position that doesn't overlap important price action on your specific chart.
Q: Which timeframe should I trade on?
A: Depends on your trading style and time availability:
โข 1-5 minute: Active scalping, requires constant monitoring
โข 15m-1h: Day trading, check few times per session
โข 4h-Daily: Swing trading, check once or twice daily
โข Daily-Weekly: Position trading, check weekly
General principle: Higher timeframes produce:
โข Fewer signals (less frequent)
โข Higher quality setups (stronger confirmations)
โข More reliable duration estimates (better statistical data)
โข Less noise (clearer trends)
Start with Daily chart if new to trading. Move to lower timeframes as you gain experience.
Q: Does this work on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex)?
A: Yes, it works on all markets with trending characteristics:
Excellent for:
โข Stocks (especially growth and momentum names)
โข Crypto (BTC, ETH, major altcoins)
โข Futures (indices, commodities)
โข Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.)
Best results on:
โข Trending markets (not range-bound)
โข Liquid instruments (tight spreads, good fills)
โข Volatile assets (clear trend development)
Less effective on:
โข Range-bound/sideways markets
โข Ultra-low volatility instruments
โข Illiquid small-caps (use caution)
Configure Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) to match your instrument for best accuracy.
Q: How many signals should I expect per day/week?
A: Highly variable based on:
By Timeframe:
โข 1-5 minute: 5-15 signals per session
โข 15m-1h: 2-5 signals per day
โข 4h-Daily: 2-5 signals per week
โข Daily-Weekly: 1-2 signals per month
By Market Volatility:
โข High volatility = more SuperTrend flips = more signals
โข Low volatility = fewer flips = fewer signals
By Quality Filter:
โข Higher threshold (60-70) = fewer but better signals
โข Lower threshold (30-40) = more signals, lower quality
By Volume Momentum Filter:
โข Enabled = Fewer signals (only volume-confirmed)
โข Disabled = More signals (all SuperTrend flips)
Adjust quality threshold and filters to match your desired signal frequency.
Q: What's the difference between entry labels and info labels?
A:
Entry Labels (BUY/SELL):
โข Your primary trading signals
โข Based on SuperTrend flip + all confirmations (quality, volume, momentum)
โข Include quality score and confirmation icons
โข These are actionable entry points
Info Labels (Volume Spike):
โข Additional market context
โข Show volume events that may support or contradict trend
โข 8-bar cooldown to prevent spam
โข NOT necessarily entry points - contextual information only
Control separately: Can show entry labels without info labels (recommended for clean charts).
Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?
A: Absolutely! This works well with:
โข RSI: For divergences and overbought/oversold conditions
โข Support/Resistance: Confluence with key levels
โข Fibonacci Retracements: Pullback targets in Scalpel Mode
โข Price Action Patterns: Flags, pennants, cup-and-handle
โข MACD: Additional momentum confirmation
โข Bollinger Bands: Volatility context
This indicator provides trend direction and duration estimates - complement with other tools for entry refinement and additional confluence.
Q: Why did I get a low-quality signal? Can I filter them out?
A: Yes! Increase the Minimum Quality Score in settings.
If you're seeing signals with quality below your preference:
โข Day Trading: Set minimum to 50
โข Swing Trading: Set minimum to 60
โข Position Trading: Set minimum to 70
Only signals meeting the threshold will appear. This reduces frequency but improves win-rate.
Q: How do I interpret the MTF Confluence count?
A: Shows how many of 6 timeframes agree with current trend:
โข 6/6 aligned: Perfect agreement (extremely rare, highest confidence)
โข 5/6 aligned: Very strong alignment (high confidence)
โข 4/6 aligned: Good alignment (standard quality setup)
โข 3/6 aligned: Moderate alignment (acceptable)
โข 2/6 aligned: Weak alignment (caution)
โข 1/6 aligned: Very weak (likely counter-trend)
Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. However, MTF analysis is optional - you can disable it and rely solely on quality scoring.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: Yes, but requires foundational knowledge:
You should understand:
โข Basic trend-following concepts (higher highs, higher lows)
โข Risk management principles (position sizing, stop losses)
โข How to read candlestick charts
โข What volume and volatility mean
Beginner-friendly features:
โข Auto preset mode (zero configuration)
โข Quality scoring (tells you signal strength)
โข Dashboard tooltips (hover for explanations)
โข duration analysis boxes (visual profit targets)
Recommended for beginners:
1. Start with "Auto" or "Swing Trading" preset on Daily chart
2. Use Standard Analysis Mode (not Advanced)
3. Set minimum quality to 60 (fewer but better signals)
4. Paper trade first for 2-4 weeks
5. Study methodology references (Minervini, O'Neil, Zanger)
Q: What is the Asset Type setting and why does it matter?
A: Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) adjusts duration estimates based on volatility characteristics:
โข Small Cap: Explosive moves, extended trends (+30-40%)
โข Biotech / Speculative: Parabolic potential, news-driven (+40%)
โข Blue Chip / Large Cap: Baseline, steady trends (0% adjustment)
โข Tech Growth: Momentum-driven, longer trends (+20%)
โข Dividend / Value: Slower, grinding trends (-20%)
โข Cyclical: Macro-driven, variable (ยฑ10%)
โข Crypto / High Volatility: Parabolic potential (+30%)
Correct configuration improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%. Using Blue Chip settings on a biotech stock may underestimate trend length (you'll exit too early).
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: Yes! TradingView's Strategy Tester works with this indicator's signals.
To backtest:
1. Note the entry conditions (SuperTrend flip + quality threshold + filters)
2. Create a strategy script using same logic
3. Run Strategy Tester on historical data
Additionally, the indicator includes BUILT-IN duration estimate validation:
โข System backtests its own duration estimates
โข Shows accuracy metrics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
โข Helps assess reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Q: Why does Volume Momentum auto-disable in Scalping mode?
A: Scalping requires ultra-fast entries to catch quick moves. Volume Momentum filter adds friction by requiring volume confirmation before signaling, which can cause missed opportunities in rapid scalping.
Scalping preset is optimized for speed and frequency - the filter is counterproductive for that style. It remains enabled for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading presets where patience improves results.
You can manually enable it in Custom mode if desired.
Q: How much historical data do I need for accurate duration estimates?
A:
Minimum: 50-100 bars (indicator will function but duration estimates less reliable)
Recommended: 500+ bars (robust statistical database)
Optimal: 1000+ bars (maximum Statistical accuracy)
More history = more completed trends = better pattern matching = more accurate duration estimates.
New symbols or newly-switched timeframes will have lower Statistical accuracy initially. Allow 2-4 weeks for the system to build historical database.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
No Guarantee of Profit:
This indicator is an educational tool and does not guarantee any specific trading results. All trading involves substantial risk of loss. Duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns and are not guarantees of future performance.

Hash Momentum Strategy# Hash Momentum Strategy
## ๐ Overview
The **Hash Momentum Strategy** is a professional-grade momentum trading system designed to capture strong directional price movements with precision timing and intelligent risk management. Unlike traditional EMA crossover strategies, this system uses momentum acceleration as its primary signal, resulting in earlier entries and better risk-to-reward ratios.
---
## โก What Makes This Strategy Unique
### 1. Momentum-Based Entry System
Most strategies rely on lagging indicators like moving average crossovers. This strategy captures momentum *acceleration* - entering when price movement is gaining strength, not after the move has already happened.
### 2. Programmable Risk-to-Reward
Set your exact R:R ratio (1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, etc.) and the strategy automatically calculates stop loss and take profit levels. No more guessing or manual calculations.
### 3. Smart Partial Profit Taking
Lock in profits at multiple stages:
- **First TP**: Take 50% off at 2R
- **Second TP**: Take 40% off at 2.5R
- **Final TP**: Let 10% ride to maximum target
This approach locks in gains while letting winners run.
### 4. Dynamic Momentum Threshold
Uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your threshold setting to adapt to market volatility. Volatile markets = higher threshold. Quiet markets = lower threshold.
### 5. Trade Cooldown System
Prevents overtrading and revenge trading by enforcing a cooldown period between trades. Configurable from 1-24 bars.
### 6. Optional Session & Weekend Filters
Filter trades by Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. Optional weekend-off toggle to avoid low-liquidity periods.
---
## ๐ฏ How It Works
### Signal Generation
**STEP 1: Calculate Momentum**
- Momentum = Current Price - Price
- Check if Momentum > ATR ร Threshold Multiplier
- Momentum must be accelerating (positive change in momentum)
**STEP 2: Confirm with EMA Trend Filter**
- Long: Price must be above EMA
- Short: Price must be below EMA
**STEP 3: Check Filters**
- Not in cooldown period
- Valid session (if enabled)
- Not weekend (if enabled)
**STEP 4: ENTRY SIGNAL TRIGGERED**
### Risk Management Example
**Example Long Trade:**
- Entry: $100
- Stop Loss: $97.80 (2.2% risk)
- Risk Amount: $2.20
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: $104.40 (2R = $4.40) โ Close 50%
- TP2: $105.50 (2.5R = $5.50) โ Close 40%
- Final: $105.50 (2.5R) โ Close remaining 10%

- Increase Cooldown Bars
- Use tighter stop loss
- Enable session filters (trade only high-liquidity sessions)
- Enable Weekend Off
### Want Higher Win Rate?
- Increase R:R Ratio (may reduce total profit)
- Increase Momentum Threshold (fewer but stronger signals)
- Use longer EMA for trend confirmation
---
## ๐ Performance Expectations
Based on typical backtesting results:
- **Win Rate**: 35-45%
- **Profit Factor**: 1.5-2.0
- **Risk:Reward**: 1:2.5 (configurable)
- **Max Drawdown**: 10-20%
- **Trades/Month**: 8-15 (1H timeframe)
**Note:** Win rate may appear low, but with 2.5:1 R:R, you only need ~29% win rate to break even. The strategy aims for quality over quantity.
---
## ๐ Strategy Logic Explained
### Why Momentum > EMA Crossover?
**EMA Crossover Problems:**
- Signals lag behind price
- Late entries = poor R:R
- Many false signals in ranging markets
**Momentum Advantages:**
- Catches moves as they start accelerating
- Earlier entries = better R:R
- Adapts to volatility via ATR
### Why Partial Profit Taking?
**Without Partial TPs:**
- All-or-nothing approach
- Winners often turn to losers
- High stress watching open positions
**With Partial TPs:**
- Lock in 50% at first target
- Reduce risk to breakeven
- Let remainder ride for bigger gains
- Lower psychological pressure
### Why Trade Cooldown?
**Without Cooldown:**
- Revenge trading after losses
- Overtrading in choppy markets
- Emotional decision-making
**With Cooldown:**
- Forces discipline
- Waits for new setup to develop
- Reduces transaction costs
- Better signal quality

## โ ๏ธ Important Notes
1. **This is a momentum strategy, not an EMA strategy**
The EMA only confirms trend direction. Momentum generates the actual signals.
2. **Backtest thoroughly before live trading**
Past performance โ future results. Test on your specific asset and timeframe.
3. **Use proper position sizing**
Risk 1-2% of account per trade maximum. The strategy uses 100% equity by default (adjust in Properties).
4. **Dashboard auto-hides in real-time**
Clean chart for live trading. Visible during backtesting.
5. **Customize for your trading style**
All settings are fully adjustable. No single "best" configuration.
---
## ๐ Quick Start Guide
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply to your preferred asset and timeframe
2. **Keep Defaults**: Start with default settings
3. **Backtest**: Review historical performance
4. **Paper Trade**: Test with simulated money first
5. **Go Live**: Start small and scale up
---
## ๐ก Pro Tips
**Tip 1: Combine Timeframes**
Use higher timeframe (4H) for trend direction, lower timeframe (1H) for entries.
**Tip 2: Avoid News Events**
Major news can cause whipsaws. Consider manual intervention during high-impact events.
**Tip 3: Monitor Momentum Strength**
Dashboard shows momentum in sigma (ฯ). Values >1.0ฯ indicate very strong momentum.
**Tip 4: Adjust for Volatility**
In high-volatility markets, increase threshold and stop loss. In quiet markets, decrease them.
**Tip 5: Review Losing Trades**
Check if losses are hitting stop loss or reversing. Adjust stop accordingly.

Hedge Simulation Martingale v1
1. Overview & Strategy Logic
This script implements an automated, multi-position trading strategy that uses a Martingale-inspired approach to manage a series of entries. The core logic is as follows:
Initial Entry: The script enters a trade based on the direction of the previous bar's close. A green bar triggers a Long position; a red bar triggers a Short position.
Profit-Taking: A single, fixed-percentage profit target (Profit Percentage) is set for the entire trade. If reached, all positions are closed for a net profit.
Loss Management (Martingale Logic): If the price moves against the initial position and hits the fixed-percentage stop-loss (Loss Percentage), the script does not exit. Instead, it averages down by adding a new, larger position in the same direction. The size of the new position is determined by multiplying the previous position size by the First Multiplier.
Net Position Management: The script continuously calculates the net average entry price, a new combined profit target, and a new combined stop-loss based on all open positions. The goal is for a single favorable price move to recover all previous losses and hit the profit target.
2. Key Features
Visual Indicators:
Plots the Net Average Entry Price on the chart.
Plots dynamic Profit Target (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels that update as new positions are added.
Displays entry signals (triangles) for the initial Long or Short trade.
Comprehensive Dashboard: A detailed table in the top-right corner shows real-time metrics, including:
Total historical Long/Short volume and PnL.
Current trade's investment, unrealized PnL, and position sizes.
Current position count, direction, and size.
Configurable Parameters:
Profit Percentage: The target profit percentage for the net position.
Loss Percentage: The stop-loss percentage that triggers a new entry.
Initial Position Size: The size of the first position in the series.
First Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the previous position size when averaging down.
Maximum Multiplier: A safety cap (commented out in the code but present) to prevent infinite scaling.
3. Intended Use & Purpose
This script is designed as a position management and tracking tool for traders who are experimenting with or actively using Martingale-style strategies. It is best used to:
Automate the complex calculations of average entry, combined TP/SL, and PnL for multiple entries.
Visually track the status of an ongoing series of positions.
Backtest the viability and risks of such a strategy on historical data.
4. โ ๏ธ Critical Risk Warning & Disclaimer
THIS STRATEGY CARRIES EXTREME FINANCIAL RISK. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Unlimited Loss Potential: The Martingale strategy is infamous for its potential to generate unlimited losses. By continuously doubling down (or multiplying) on losing positions, a small adverse price move can lead to catastrophic losses that can exceed your account balance.
Margin Calls: The rapidly increasing position size can quickly deplete your margin, leading to a margin call and forced liquidation of all positions at a significant loss.
No Guarantee of Recovery: The assumption that the price will eventually reverse is flawed. A strong, sustained trend can wipe out the entire trading capital.
For Educational/Advanced Use Only: This script is intended for sophisticated traders who fully understand the immense risks involved. It is not a "sure profit" system.
The publisher of this script is not responsible for any financial losses incurred through its use. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and risk management.
5. How to Use
Apply the Script: Add the script to your chart.
Configure Parameters: Adjust the input parameters according to your risk tolerance and strategy rules. Be extremely cautious with the multiplier and position size.
Monitor the Dashboard: The table will provide all necessary information about the current and historical state of the strategy.
Observe the Levels: Watch the plotted Entry, TP, and SL levels to understand the current market position.
Backtest First: Always test the strategy extensively on historical data before considering it with real capital.
6. Notes
The Maximum Multiplier safety feature is present in the code but is currently commented out. Users are strongly advised to uncomment and set this parameter to act as a final, hard liquidation point.
The script logs key events (trade start, target hit) and export data for further analysis.
This is a complex script and should be thoroughly understood before use.
VWAP Trend Strategy (Intraday) [KedarArc Quant]Description:
An intraday strategy that anchors to VWAP and only trades when a local EMA trend gate and a volume participation gate are both open. It offers two entry templatesโCross and Cross-and-Retestโwith an optional Momentum Exception for impulsive moves. Exits combine a TrendBreak (structure flips) with an ATR emergency stop (risk cap).
Updates will be published under this script.
Why this merits a new script
This is not a simple โVWAP + EMA + ATRโ overlay. The components are sequenced as gates and branches that *change the trade set* in ways a visual mashup cannot:
1. Trend Gate first (EMA fast vs. slow on the entry timeframe)
Counter-trend VWAP crosses are suppressed. Many VWAP scripts fire on every cross; here, no entry logic even evaluates unless the trend gate is open.
2. Participation Gate second (Volume SMA ร multiplier)
This gate filters thin liquidity moves around VWAP. Without it, the same visuals would produce materially more false triggers.
3. Branching entries with structure awareness
* Cross: Immediate VWAP cross in the trend direction.
* Cross-and-Retest: Requires a revisit to VWAP vicinity within a lookback window (recent low near VWAP for longs; recent high for shorts). This explicitly removes first-touch fakeouts that a plain cross takes.
* Momentum Exception (optional): A quantified body% + volume condition can bypass the retest when flow is impulsiveโintentional risk-timing, not โjust another indicator.โ
4. Dual exits that reference both anchor and structure
* TrendBreak: Close only when price loses VWAP and EMA alignment flips.
* ATR stop: Placed at entry to cap tail risk.
These exits complement the entry structure rather than being generic stop/target add-ons.
What it does
* Trades the sessionโs fair value anchor (VWAP), but only with local-trend agreement (EMA fast vs. slow) and sufficient participation (volume filter).
* Lets you pick Cross or Cross-and-Retest entries; optionally allow a fast Momentum Exception when candles expand with volume.
* Manages positions with a structure exit (TrendBreak) and an emergency ATR stop from entry.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
* VWAP (session anchor):
Standard VWAP of the active session; entries reference the cross and the retest proximity to VWAP.
* Trend gate:
Long context only if `EMA(fast) > EMA(slow)`; short only if `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)`.
A *gate*, not a triggerโentries arenโt considered unless this is true.
* Participation (volume) gate:
Require `volume > SMA(volume, volLen) ร volMult`.
Screens out low-participation wiggles around VWAP.
Entries:
* Cross: Price crosses VWAP in the trend direction while volume gate is open.
* Cross-and-Retest: After crossing, price revisits VWAP vicinity within `lookback` (recent *low near VWAP* for longs; recent *high near VWAP* for shorts).
* Momentum Exception (optional): If body% (|closeโopen| / range) and volume exceed thresholds, enter without waiting for the retest.
Exits:
* TrendBreak (structure):
* Longs close when `price < VWAP` and `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)` (mirror for shorts).
* ATR stop (risk):
* From entry: `stop = entry ยฑ ATR(atrLen) ร atrMult`.
How to use it ?
1. Select market & timeframe: Intraday on liquid symbols (equities, futures, crypto).
2. Pick entry mode:
* Start with Cross-and-Retest for fewer, more selective signals.
* Enable Momentum Exception if strong moves leave without retesting.
3. Tune guards:
* Raise `volMult` to ignore thin periods; lower it for more activity.
* Adjust `lookback` if retests come late/early on your symbol.
4. Risk:
* `atrLen` and `atrMult` set the emergency stop distance.
5. Read results per session: Optional panel (if enabled) summarizes Net-R, Win%, and PF for todayโs session to evaluate
behavior regime by regime.

1. Multiple Crossover Detection
- RSI/Signal Line Cross: Signals a primary trend change.
- RSI/Second Signal Cross: Confirmation signals for stronger trends.
- Level Crossings: Crosses of Overbought 70, Oversold 30, and Midline 50.
- Divergence Detection: Hidden and regular divergences for reversal signals.
2. Alert Types
- Alert: RSI > Signal
Description: Bullish momentum is building.
Signal: Consider long positions.
- Alert: RSI < Signal
Description: Bearish momentum is building.
Signal: Consider short positions.
- Alert: RSI > 70
Description: Entering the overbought zone.
Signal: Prepare for a potential reversal.
- Alert: RSI < 30
Description: Entering the oversold zone.
Signal: Watch for a bounce opportunity.
- Alert: RSI crosses 50
Description: A shift in momentum.
Signal: Trend confirmation.
3. Visual Components
- Lines: RSI blue, Signal orange, Second Signal purple
- Histogram: Visualizes momentum by showing the difference between RSI and the Signal line.
- Background Zones: Red overbought, Green oversold
- Markers: Up/down triangles to indicate crossovers.
- Info Table: Real-time RSI values and status.
Strategy 1: Classic Crossover
- Entry Long: RSI crosses above the Signal Line AND RSI is below 50.
- Entry Short: RSI crosses below the Signal Line AND RSI is above 50.
- Take Profit: On the opposite signal.
- Stop Loss: At the recent swing high/low.
Strategy 2: Extreme Zone Reversal
- Entry Long: RSI is below 30 and crosses above the Signal Line.
- Entry Short: RSI is above 70 and crosses below the Signal Line.
- Risk Management: Higher win rate but fewer signals. Use a minimum 2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Strategy 3: Divergence Trading
- Setup: Enable divergence alerts and look for price/RSI divergence. Wait for an RSI crossover for confirmation.
- Entry: Enter on the crossover after the divergence appears. Place the stop loss beyond the starting point of the divergence.
Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
1. Check the higher timeframe e.g. Daily to identify the main trend.
2. Use the current timeframe e.g. 4H/1H for your entry.
3. Only enter in the direction of the main trend.
4. Use the RSI crossover as the entry trigger.
Optimal Settings by Market
- Forex Major Pairs
RSI Length: 14, Signal Length: 9, Overbought/Oversold: 70/30
- Crypto High Volatility
RSI Length: 10-12, Signal Length: 6-8, Overbought/Oversold: 75/25
- Stocks Trending
RSI Length: 14-21, Signal Length: 9-12, Overbought/Oversold: 70/30
- Commodities
RSI Length: 14, Signal Length: 9, Overbought/Oversold: 80/20
Risk Management Rules
1. Position Sizing: Never risk more than 1-2% on a single trade. Reduce size in ranging markets.
2. Stop Loss Placement: Place stops beyond the recent swing high/low for crossovers. Using an ATR-based stop is also effective.
3. Profit Taking: Take partial profits at a 1:1 risk-reward ratio. Switch to a trailing stop after reaching 2:1.
1. Filtering Signals
- Combine with volume indicators.
- Confirm the trend on a higher timeframe.
- Wait for candlestick pattern confirmation.
2. Avoid Common Mistakes
- Don't trade every single crossover.
- Avoid taking signals against a strong trend.
- Do not ignore risk management.
3. Market Conditions
- Trending Market: Focus on midline 50 crosses.
- Ranging Market: Look for reversals from overbought/oversold levels.
- Volatile Market: Widen the overbought/oversold levels.
- If you get too many false signals:
Increase the signal line period, add other confirmation indicators, or use a higher timeframe.
- If you are missing major moves:
Decrease the RSI length, shorten the signal line period, or check your alert settings.
Recommended Combinations
1. RSI + MACD: For dual momentum confirmation.
2. RSI + Bollinger Bands: For volatility-adjusted signals.
3. RSI + Volume: To confirm the strength of a signal.
4. RSI + Moving Averages: To use as a trend filter.
This indicator provides a comprehensive RSI analysis. Success depends on proper configuration, risk management, and combining signals with the overall market context. Start with the default settings, then optimize based on your trading style and market conditions.

Trade Direction Control : Restrict trades to long-only or short-only to align with market bias or strategy goals, preventing conflicting orders.
Divergence Type Selection : Choose to trade regular divergences (bullish/bearish), hidden divergences, or both, targeting reversals or trend continuations.
Entry Type Options :
Cautious : Enters conservatively at pivot points and exits quickly to minimize risk exposure.
Confident : Enters aggressively at the latest price and holds longer to capture larger moves.
Mixed : Combines conservative entries with delayed exits for a balanced approach.
Market vs. Stop Orders: Opt for market orders for instant execution or stop orders for precise price entry.
๐ฏ Enhanced Risk Management
Risk/Reward Ratio : Define a risk-reward ratio (default: 2.0) to set profit targets relative to stop-loss levels, ensuring consistent trade sizing.
Bracket Orders : Trades include entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels calculated from divergence pivot points, tailored to the entry type and risk-reward settings.
Stop-Loss Placement : Stops are strategically set (e.g., at recent pivot or last price point) based on entry type, balancing risk and trade validity.
Order Cancellation : Optionally cancel pending orders when a divergence is broken (e.g., price moves past the pivot in the wrong direction), reducing invalid trades. This feature is toggleable for flexibility.
๐ฏ Trade Visualization
Target and Stop Boxes : Displays take-profit (lime) and stop-loss (orange) levels as boxes on the price chart, extending 10 bars forward for clear visibility.
Dynamic Trade Updates : Trade visualizations are added, updated, or removed as trades are executed, canceled, or invalidated, ensuring accurate feedback.

Trend Settings : Trend detection method (Zigzag, MA Difference, External), MA type, and length.
Zigzag Settings : Zigzag length (fixed repaint = true).
๐ฒ Entry/Exit Types for Divergence Scenarios
The Divergence Strategy offers three Entry/Exit Type optionsโCautious, Confident, and Mixedโwhich determine how trades are entered and exited based on divergence pivot points. This section explains how these settings apply to different divergence scenarios, with placeholders for screenshots to illustrate each case.
The divergence pattern forms after 3 pivots. The stop and entry levels are formed on one of these levels based on Entry/Exit types.
๐ฏBullish Divergence (Reversal)
A bullish divergence occurs when price forms a lower low, but the oscillator forms a higher low, signaling a potential upward reversal.
๐ Cautious:
Entry : At the pivot high point for a conservative entry.
Exit : Stop-loss at the last pivot point (previous low that is higher than the current pivot low); take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks below the pivot (if Cancel On Break is enabled).
Behavior : Enters after confirmation and exits quickly to limit downside risk.
๐Confident:
Entry : At the last pivot low, (previous low which is higher than the current pivot low) for an aggressive entry.
Exit : Stop-loss at recent pivot low, which is the lowest point; take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks below the pivot. (lazy exit)
Behavior : Enters early to capture trend continuation, holding longer for gains.
๐Mixed:
Entry : At the pivot high point (conservative).
Exit : Stop-loss at the recent pivot point that has resulted in lower low (lazy exit). Canceled if price breaks below the pivot.
Behavior : Balances entry caution with extended holding for trend continuation.
๐ฏBearish Divergence (Reversal)
A bearish divergence occurs when price forms a higher high, but the oscillator forms a lower high, indicating a potential downward reversal.
๐Cautious:
Entry : At the pivot low point (lower high) for a conservative short entry.
Exit : Stop-loss at the previous pivot high point (previous high); take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks above the pivot (if Cancel On Break is enabled).
Behavior : Enters conservatively and exits quickly to minimize risk.
๐Confident:
Entry : At the last price point (previous high) for an aggressive short entry.
Exit : Stop-loss at the pivot point; take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks above the pivot.
Behavior : Enters early to maximize trend continuation, holding longer.
๐Mixed:
Entry : At the previous piot high point (conservative).
Exit : Stop-loss at the last price point (delayed exit). Canceled if price breaks above the pivot.
Behavior : Combines conservative entry with extended holding for downtrend gains.
๐ฏBullish Hidden Divergence (Continuation)
A bullish hidden divergence occurs when price forms a higher low, but the oscillator forms a lower low, suggesting uptrend continuation. In case of Hidden bullish divergence, b]Entry is always on the previous pivot high (unless it is a market order)
๐Cautious:
Exit : Stop-loss at the recent pivot low point (higher than previous pivot low); take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks below the pivot (if Cancel On Break is enabled).
Behavior : Enters after confirmation and exits quickly to limit downside risk.
๐Confident:
Exit : Stop-loss at previous pivot low, which is the lowest point; take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks below the pivot. (lazy exit)
Behavior : Enters early to capture trend continuation, holding longer for gains.
๐ฏBearish Hidden Divergence (Continuation)
A bearish hidden divergence occurs when price forms a lower high, but the oscillator forms a higher high, suggesting downtrend continuation. In case of Hidden Bearish divergence, b]Entry is always on the previous pivot low (unless it is a market order)
๐Cautious:
Exit : Stop-loss at the latest pivot high point (which is a lower high); take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks above the pivot (if Cancel On Break is enabled).
Behavior : Enters conservatively and exits quickly to minimize risk.
๐Confident/Mixed:
Exit : Stop-loss at the previous pivot high point; take-profit at risk-reward ratio. Canceled if price breaks above the pivot.
Behavior : Uses the late exit point to hold longer.

Xen's Flag Pattern Scalper1. Input Parameters:
FlagLength: Determines the length of the flag pattern.
TakeProfit1Ratio, takeProfit2Ratio, takeProfit3Ratio: Define the ratios for calculating
the take-profit levels relative to the entry price.
RiskRewardRatio: Specifies the risk-reward ratio for calculating the stop-loss level
relative to the entry price.
2 Flag Conditions:
BullishFlag: Checks if the current bar meets the conditions for a bullish flag pattern. It
evaluates to true if the low of the current bar is lower than the low flagLength bars
ago, and the close of the current bar is higher than the high flagLength bars ago.
BearishFlag: Checks if the current bar meets the conditions for a bearish flag pattern. It evaluates to true if the high of the current bar is higher than the high flagLength bars
ago, and the close of the current bar is lower than the low flagLength bars ago.
3. Entry Price:
EntryPrice: Calculates the entry price based on whether a bullish or bearish flag
pattern is identified. For a bullish flag, the entry price is set to the low of the current bar.
For a bearish flag, the entry price is set to the high of the current bar.
4. Stop Loss:
StopLoss: Determines the stop-loss level based on the entry price and the specified
riskRewardRatio . For a bullish flag, the stop-loss level is calculated by subtracting the
difference between the high and low of the current bar multiplied by the riskRewardRatio from the low of the current bar. For a bearish flag, the stop-loss level
is calculated similarly but added to the high of the current bar.
5. Take Profit Levels:
Three take-profit levels ( takeProfit1, takeProfit2, takeProfit3 ) are calculated based on
the entry price, stop-loss level, and specified take-profit ratios ( takeProfit1Ratio,
takeProfit2Ratio, takeProfit3Ratio ).
6. Plotting Signals and Levels:
Bullish and bearish flag patterns are plotted using triangle shapes ( shape.triangleup for
bullish and shape.triangledown for bearish) above or below the bars, respectively.
Entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are plotted using horizontal lines ( line.new )
with different colors and styles. Entry and stop-loss levels are labeled with "Entry" and "SL",
respectively, while take-profit levels are labeled with "TP 1", "TP 2", and "TP 3".
The colors for bullish flags are white for entry, red for stop-loss, and green for take-profit levels. For bearish flags, the colors are the same, but the labels are plotted above the bars.
7. Label Placement:
Labels for entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are placed a distance of 4 bars to the right
of the entry price using bar_index + 4 .
This indicator is intended to help traders identify flag patterns on price charts and visualize potential entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels associated with these patterns.
Please use risk management and when TP1 is hit, move stoploss to breakeven .
Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)๐ญ Overview
+ Title: Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)
+ Author: Iason Nikolas (jason5480)
+ License: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
๐ข What is the "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" โ
The "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" (TTS) is a back-tester orchestration framework. It supercharges the implementation-test-evaluation lifecycle of new trading strategies, by making it possible to plug in your own trading idea.
While TTS offers a vast number of configuration settings, it primarily allows the trader to:
Test and evaluate your own trading logic that is described in terms of entry, exit, and cancellation conditions.
Define the entry and exit order types as well as their target prices when the limit, stop, or stop-limit order types are used.
Utilize a variety of options regarding the placement of the stop-loss and take-profit target(s) prices and support for well-known techniques like moving to breakeven and trailing.
Provide well-known quantity calculation methods to properly handle risk management and easily evaluate trading strategies and compare them.
Alert on each trading event or any related change through a robust and fully customizable messaging system.
All of the above makes TTS a practical toolkit: once you learn it, many repetitive tasks that strategy authors usually re-implement are eliminated. Using TradingViewโs built-in backtesting engine makes testing and comparing ideas straightforward.
By utilizing the TTS one can easily swap "trading logic" by testing, evaluating, and comparing each trading idea and/or individual component of a strategy.
Finally, TTS, through its per-event alert management (and debugging) system, provides an automated solution that supports live trading with brokers via webhooks.
NOTE: The "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" does not dictate how you can combine different indicator types. Thus, it should not be confused as a "Trading System", because it gives its user full flexibility on that end (for better or worse).
๐ข What is a "Signal Indicator" โ
"Signal Indicator" (SI) is an indicator that can output a "signal" that follows a specific convention so that the "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" can "understand" and execute the orders accordingly. The SI realizes the core trading logic signaling to the TTS when to enter, exit, or cancel an order. A SI instructs the TTS "when" to enter or exit, and the TTS determines "how" to enter and exit the position once the Signal Indicator generates a signal.
A very simple example of a Signal Indicator might be a 200-day Simple Moving Average Signal. When the price of the security closes above the 200-day SMA, a SI would provide TTS with a "long entry signal". Once TTS receives the "long entry signal", the TTS will open a long position and send an alert or automated trade message via webhook to a broker, based on the Entry settings defined in TTS. If the TTS Entry settings specify a "Market" order type, then the open long position will be executed by TTS immediately. But if the TTS Entry settings specify a "Stop" order type with a 1% Stop Distance, then when the price of the security rises by 1% after the "long entry signal" occurs, the TTS will open a long position and the Long Entry alert or webhook to the broker will be sent.
๐ค How to Guide
๐ข How to connect a "signal" from a "Signal Indicator" โ
The "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" was designed to receive external signals from a "Signal Indicator". In this way, a "new trading idea" can be developed, configured, and evaluated separately from the TTS. Similarly, the SI can be held constant, and the trading mechanics can change in the TTS settings and back-tested to answer questions such as, "Am I better with a different stop loss placement method, what if I used a limit order instead of a stop order to enter, what if I used 25% margin instead of trading spot market?"
To make that possible by connecting an external signal indicator to TTS, you should:
Add both your SI (e.g. "Two MA Signal Indicator" , "Click Signal Indicator" , "Signal Adapter" , "Signal Composer" ) and the TTS script to the same chart.
Open the script's Settings / Inputs dialog for the TTS.
In the ๐ ๏ธ STRATEGY group set ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐๐ to ๐จExternal (this makes TTS listen to an external signal source).
Still inside ๐ ๏ธ STRATEGY locate the ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ input and choose the plotted output of your SI. The option should look like: "<SI short title>:๐Signal to TTS" .
Verbose troubleshooting & tips
If the SI does not appear in the ๐Signal ๐ selector, confirm both scripts are added to the same chart and the SI exposes a plotted series (title often "๐Signal to TTS").
When using multiple SIs, pick the SI instance that actually outputs the "๐Signal to TTS" plotted series.
Validate on the chart: when your SI changes state, the plotted "๐Signal" series in the TTS (visible in the data window) should change accordingly.
The TTS accepts only signals that follow the tts_convention DealConditions structure. Do not attempt to feed arbitrary scalar series without using conv.getDealConditions / conv.DealConditions.
Make sure your SI composes a DealConditions value following the TTS convention (startLong, endLong, startShort, endShort โ optional cancel fields). See the template below.
If the plot is present but TTS does not react, ensure the SI plot is non-repainting (or accept realtime/backtest limitations). Test on historical bars first.
Create alerts on the strategy (see the Alerts section). Use the {{strategy.order.alert_message}} placeholder in the Create Alert dialog to forward TTS messages.
๐ข How to create a custom trading logic โ
The "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" provides two ways to plug in your custom trading logic. Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages.
โ๏ธ Develop your own Customized "Signal Indicator" ๐ฅ
The first approach is meant to be used for relatively more complex trading logic. The advantages of this approach are the full control and customization you have over the trading logic and the relatively simple configuration setup by having two scripts only. The downsides are that you have to have some experience with pinescript or you are willing to learn and experiment. You should also know the exact formula for every indicator you will use since you have to write it by yourself. Copy-pasting from existing open-source indicators will get you started quite fast though.
The idea here is either to create a new indicator script from scratch or to copy an existing non-signal indicator and make it a "Signal Indicator". To create a new script, press the "Pine Editor" button below the chart to open the "Pine Editor" and then press the "Open" button to open the drop-down menu with the templates. Select the "New Indicator" option. Add it to your chart to copy an existing indicator and press the source code {} button. Its source code will be shown in the "Pine Editor" with a warning on top stating that this is a read-only script. Press the "create a working copy". Now you can give a descriptive title and a short title to your script, and you can work on (or copy-paste) the (other) indicators of your interest. Once you have the information needed to decide, define a DealConditions object and plot it like this:
import jason5480/tts_convention/ as conv
// Calculate the start, end, cancel start, cancel end conditions
dealConditions = conv.DealConditions.new(
startLongDeal = ,
startShortDeal = ,
endLongDeal = ,
endShortDeal = ,
cnlStartLongDeal = ,
cnlStartShortDeal = ,
cnlEndLongDeal = ,
cnlEndShortDeal = )
// Use this signal in scripts like "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" and "Signal Composer" that can utilize its value
// Emit the current signal value according to the TTS framework convention
plot(series = conv.getSignal(dealConditions), title = '๐Signal to TTS', color = #808000, editable = false, display = display.data_window + display.status_line, precision = 0)
You should import the latest version of the tts_convention library and write your deal conditions appropriately based on your trading logic and put them in the code section shown above by replacing the "โฆ" part after "=". You can omit the conditions that are not relevant to your logic. For example, if you use only market orders for entering and exiting your positions the cnlStartLongDeal, cnlStartShortDeal, cnlEndLongDeal, and cnlEndShortDeal are irrelevant to your case and can be safely omitted from the DealConditions object. After successfully compiling your new custom SI script add it to the same chart with the TTS by pressing the "Add to chart" button. If all goes well, you will be able to connect your "signal" to the TTS as described in the "How to connect a "signal" from a "Signal Indicator"?" guide.
๐งฉ Adapt and Combine existing non-signal indicators ๐ฅ
The second approach is meant to be used for relatively simple trading logic. The advantages of this approach are the lack of pine script and coding experience needed and the fact that it can be used with closed-source indicators as long as the decision-making part is displayed as a line in the chart. The drawback is that you have to have a subscription that supports the "indicator on indicator" feature so you can connect the output of one indicator as an input to another indicator. Please check if your plan supports that feature here
To plug in your own logic that way you have to add your indicator(s) of preference in the chart and then add the "Signal Adapter" script in the same chart as well. This script is a "Signal Indicator" that can be used as a proxy to define your custom logic in the CONDITIONS group of the "Settings/Inputs" tab after defining your inputs from your preferred indicators in the VARIABLES group. Then a "signal" will be produced, if your logic is simple enough it can be directly connected to the TTS that is also added to the same chart for execution. Check the "How to connect a "signal" from a "Signal Indicator"?" in the "๐ค How to Guide" for more information.
If your logic is slightly more complicated, you can add a second "Signal Adapter" in your chart. Then you should add the "Signal Composer" in the same chart, go to the SIGNALS group of the "Settings/Inputs" tab, and connect the "signals" from the "Signal Adapters". "Signal Composer" is also a SI so its composed "signal" can be connected to the TTS the same way it is described in the "How to connect a "signal" from a "Signal Indicator"?" guide.
At this point, due to the composability of the framework, you can add an arbitrary number (bounded by your subscription of course) of "Signal Adapters" and "Signal Composers" before connecting the final "signal" to the TTS.
๐ข How to set up โฐAlerts โ
The "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" provides a fully customizable per-event alert mechanism. This means that you may have an entirely different message for entering and exiting into a position, hitting a stop-loss or a take-profit target, changing trailing targets, etc. There are no restrictions, and this gives you great flexibility.
First enable the events you want under the "๐ ALERT MESSAGES" module. Each enabled event exposes a text area where you can craft the message using placeholders that TTS replaces with actual values when the event occurs.
The placeholder categories (exact names used by the script) are:
Chart & instrument:
{{ticker}}
{{base_currency}}
{{quote_currency}}
Entry / exit / stop / TP prices & offsets:
{{entry_price}}
{{exit_price}}
{{stop_loss_price}}
{{take_profit_price_1}} ... {{take_profit_price_5}}
{{entry+_price}}, {{entry-_price}}, {{exit+_price}}, {{exit-_price}} โ Optional offset helpers (computed using "Offset Ticks")
Quantities, percents & derived quantities:
{{entry_base_quantity}} โ base units at entry (e.g. BTC)
{{entry_quote_quantity}} โ quote amount at entry (e.g. USD)
{{risk_perc}} โ % of capital risked for that entry (multiplied by 100 when "Percentage Range " is enabled)
{{remaining_quantity_perc}} โ % of the initial position remaining at close/SL
{{remaining_base_quantity}} โ remaining base units at close/SL
{{take_profit_quantity_perc_1}} ... {{take_profit_quantity_perc_5}} โ % sold/bought at each TP
{{take_profit_base_quantity_1}} ... {{take_profit_base_quantity_5}} โ base units closed at each TP
โ Important: the per-event alert text is injected into the Create Alert dialog using TradingView's strategy placeholder:
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
During the creation of a strategy alert, make sure the placeholder {{strategy.order.alert_message}} exists in the "Message" box. TradingView will substitute the per-event text you configured and enabled in TTS Settings/Inputs before sending it via webhook/notification.
Tip: For webhook/broker execution, set the proper "Condition" in the Create Alert dialog (for changing-entry/exit/SL notifications use "Order fills and alert() function calls" or "alert() function calls only" as appropriate).
๐ข How to execute my orders in a broker โ
To execute your orders in a broker that supports webhook integration, you should enable the appropriate alerts in the "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" first (see the "How to set up Alerts?" guide above). Then you should go to the "Create Alert/Notifications" tab check the "Webhook URL" and paste the URL provided by your broker. You have to read the documentation of your broker for more information on what messages are expected.
Keep in mind that some brokers have deep integration with TradingView so a per-event alert approach might be overkill.
๐ Definitions
This section tries to give some definitions in terms that appear in the "Settings/Inputs" tab of the "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)"
๐ข What is Trailing โ
Trailing is a technique where a price target follows another "barrier" price (usually high or low) by trying to keep a maximum distance from the "barrier" when it moves in only one direction (up or down). When the "barrier" moves in the other direction the price target will not change. There are as many types of trailing as price targets, which means that there are entry trailing, exit trailing, stop-loss trailing, and take-profit trailing techniques.
๐ข What is a Moonbag โ
A Moonbag in a trade is the quantity of the position that is reserved and will not be exited even if all take-profit targets defined in the strategy are hit, the quantity will be exited only if the stop-loss is hit or a close signal is received. This makes the stop-loss trailing technique in a trend-following strategy a good candidate to take advantage of a Moonbag.
๐ข What is Distance โ
Distance is the difference between two prices.
๐ข What is Bias โ
Bias is a psychological phenomenon where you make decisions based on market sentiment. For example, when you want to enter a long position you have a long bias, and when you want to exit from the long position you have a short bias. It is the other way around for the short position.
๐ข What is the Bias Distance of a price target โ
The Bias Distance of a price target is the distance that the target will deviate from its initial price. The direction of this deviation depends on the bias of the market. For example, suppose you are in a long position, and you set a take-profit target to the local highest high. In that case, adding a bias distance of five ticks will place your take-profit target 5 ticks below this local highest high because you have a short bias when exiting a long position. When the bias is long the bias distance will be added resulting in a higher target price and when you have a short bias the bias distance will be subtracted.
โ๏ธ Settings
In the "Settings/Inputs" tab of the "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)", you can find all the customizable settings that are provided by the framework. The variety of those settings is vast; hence we will only scratch the surface here. However, for every setting, there is an information icon ๐ where you can learn more if you mouse over it. The "Settings/Inputs" tab is divided into ten main groups. Each one of them is responsible for one module of the framework. Every setting is part of a group that is named after the module it represents. So, to spot the module of a setting find the title that appears above it comes with an emoji and uppercase letters. Some settings might have the same name but belong to different modules e.g. "Tgt Dist Mtd" (Target Distance Method). Some settings are indented, which means that they are closely related to the non-indented setting above. Usually, indented settings provide further configuration for one or more options of the non-indented setting above. The groups that correspond to each module of the framework are the following:
๐บ๏ธ Quick Module Cross-Reference (use emojis to jump to setting groups)
๐ FILTERS โ session, date & weekday filters
๐ ๏ธ STRATEGY โ internal vs external deal-conditions; pick the signal source
๐ง STRATEGY โ INTERNAL โ built-in Two MA logic for demonstration purposes
๐ข VOLATILITY โ ATR / StDev update modes
๐ท ENTRY โ entry order types & trailing
๐ฏ TAKE PROFIT โ multi-step TP and trailing rules
๐ STOP LOSS โ stop placement, move-to-breakeven, trailing
๐ช EXIT โ exit order types & cancel logic
๐ฐ QUANTITY/RISK MANAGEMENT โ position sizing, moonbag, limits
๐ ANALYTICS โ stats, streaks, seasonal tables
๐ ALERT MESSAGES โ per-event alert templates & placeholders
๐ฒ Caveats
๐ข Does "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" have repainting behavior? โ
The answer is that the "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" does not repaint as long as the "Signal Indicator" that is connected also does not repaint. If you developed your own SI make sure that you understand and know how to prevent this behavior. The publication by @PineCoders here will give you a good idea on how to avoid most of the repainting cases.
โ ๏ธ There is an exception though, when the "Enable Trailโ ๏ธ๐น" checkbox is checked, the Take Profit trailing feature is enabled, and a tick-based approach is used, meaning that after a while, when the TradingView discards all the real-time data, assumptions will be made by the backtesting engine that will cause a form of repainting. To avoid making false assumptions please disable this feature in the early stages and evaluate its usefulness in your strategy later on, after first confirming the success of the logic without this feature. In this case, consider turning on the bar magnifier feature. This way you will get more accurate backtest results when the Take Profit trailing feature is enabled.
๐ข Can "Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)" satisfy all my trading strategies โ
While this framework can satisfy quite a large number of trading strategies there are cases where it cannot do so. For example, if you have a custom logic for your stop-loss or take-profit placement, or if you want to dollar cost average, then it might be better to start a new strategy script from scratch.
โ ๏ธ It is not recommended to copy the official TTS code and start developing unless you are a Pine wizard! Even in that case, there is a stiff learning curve that might not be worth your time. Last, you must consider that I do not offer support for customized versions of the TTS script and if something goes wrong in the process you are all alone.
