Sideways Money - Bitcoin BeatsHello, Hello, Hello,
And welcome back to Bitcoin Beats.
This is another version of my previous script, "Range Indicator - Bitcoin Beats".
Designed initially for breakouts but shows adaptive ranges and consolidation in XBTUSD(Haven't tested other assets but should do the same thing).
If we are consolidating (which is most of the time) a good strategy to trade would be to trade ranges. However, as soon as you spot the range it can feel like the range has changed so you lose out on making the monies.
This indicator plots out the average range in a consolidation.
It also shows you when the range has broken in a direction that it previously hasn't broken in. This essentially signifies the the trend changing and gives warning that trading the range may no longer be valid.
There are a few ways to trade this indicator and I will explain 2 of them here.
PLEASE TRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOUR FUNDS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
IF YOU TRADE WITH THESE STRATEGIES, YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES.
BY USING THIS INDICATOR YOU AGREE THAT I WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE IN THE CASE OF YOU LOSING FUNDS.
Strategy 1:
- Have 2 bitmex accounts open.
- Use on the 30m, 1h, 3h or 12h.
- Long AND Short on both accounts when we hit the middle area. This is called the "Reload Zone".
- When we hit the edge of each side of the plotted range, close the positions in profit.
- You will then have 1 trade underwater.
- If the range is solid, the price will move back to the Reload Zone in which you reload you position that you took profit with.
- You then have both a Long AND Short open after 1 profitable trade.
- Rinse and repeat until you get the "STRATEGY CAUTION" message signifying that the range will most likely break soon.
Strategy 2(least profitable):
- When the "STRATEGY CAUTION" Message appears, you can long or short depending on which side it breaks toward.
- If we break down, short.
- If we break up, Long.
I wouldn't advise this second strategy if you are a beginner as the results are inconclusive and it's more of a hybrid trading strategy, meaning you have to know how to trade with price action flowing.
Usually if it is appearing volatile, you can go to a higher time frame and find the exact range it's catering to, adjusting your strategy accordingly.
See you soon,

Consolidation
Range Indicator - Bitcoin BeatsHello, Hello, Hello,
And welcome back to Bitcoin Beats.
Today I'm going to show you my Ranges Indicator. Designed initially for breakouts but an analysts mind quickly spots the other uses for this indicator.
If we are consolidating (which is most of the time) a good strategy to trade would be to trade ranges. However, as soon as you spot the range it can feel like the range has changed so you lose out on making the monies.
This indicator plots out the average range in a consolidation allowing you to take action and make those monies.
I've highlighted a profitable strategy in the picture that means you can make money on bitcoin when it goes sideways.
Usually if it is appearing volatile, you can go to a higher time frame and find the exact range it's catering to, adjusting your strategy accordingly.
The strategy I've highlighted in accordance with this indicator is longing AND shorting from the center point of a range and cashing out either side until the range breaks.
If you'd like a trial, please leave a comment and I'll add you to the list :)
See you soon,
Goodbye, from Bitcoin Beats.
Consolidation vs Trending
ADX is used to quantify trend strength. ADX calculations are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a given period of time. The default setting is 14 bars, although other time periods can be used. ADX can be used on any trading vehicle such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and futures.
ADX is plotted as a single line with values ranging from a low of zero to a high of 100. ADX is non-directional; it registers trend strength whether price is trending up or down. The indicator is usually plotted in the same window as the two directional movement indicator (DMI) lines, from which ADX is derived.
When the +DMI is above the -DMI, prices are moving up, and ADX measures the strength of the uptrend. When the -DMI is above the +DMI, prices are moving down, and ADX measures the strength of the downtrend.
ADX values help traders identify the strongest and most profitable trends to trade. The values are also important for distinguishing between trending and non-trending conditions. Many traders will use ADX readings above 25 to suggest that the trend is strong enough for trend-trading strategies. Conversely, when ADX is below 25, many will avoid trend-trading strategies.
ADX Value Trend Strength
0-25 Absent or Weak Trend
25-50 Strong Trend
50-75 Very Strong Trend
75-100 Extremely Strong Trend
AM Trend Exhaustion/ChopThis indicator lets you see when a trend may be exhausted and require consolidation, as well as choppy trading zones.
When the oscillator is in the bottom bar, the price is in a chop zone. When it reaches the top bar, it is due for consolidation.
Breakout/Consolidation Filter [jwammo12]This indicator acts as a filter for determining recent breakouts and consolidations in price.
The first way to use the indicator is with a short lookback period. It then will paint yellow most of the time, with red marking a sharp recent breakdown in price and green marking a sharp breakout in price. This can be used to follow the breakout, or to fade it.
The second way to use the indicator is a long lookback period. This will change the output to be colored most of the time, with small sections of yellow. The yellow indicators areas where price has not made a large move in a while, or periods of consolidation. This can then be used to plan reversal trades, or follows any new trend.
The blue line is a Average True Range Percent Rank, when this value is high, it means that breakouts are less likely to trigger, since price has been moving rapidly recently, and a relative breakout would have to be a large move. When the line is low, breakouts will trigger more easily, since price has been moving relatively slowly
Chop and explodeThe purpose of this script is to decipher chop zones from runs/movement/explosion
The chop is RSI movement between 40 and 60
tight chop is RSI movement between 45 and 55. There should be an explosion after RSI breaks through 60 (long) or 40 (short). Tight chop bars are colored black, a series of black bars is tight consolidation and should explode imminently. The longer the chop the longer the explosion will go for. tighter the better.
Loose chop (whip saw/yellow bars) will range between 40 and 60.
the move begins with blue bars for long and purple bars for short.
Couple it with your trading system to help stay out of chop and enter when there is movement. Use with "Simple Trender."
Best of luck in all you do. Get money.
RSI Swing SignalThis indicator is a tool designed to be used with Steven Hart's RSI Exhaustion strategy. For more information google TheTradingChannel or look him up on YouTube :)
The default RSI settings for this strategy are:
RSI Overbought: 80
RSI Oversold: 20
Length: 7
When the RSI gets above 80, the line will turn red and the script will begin looking for a specific type of engulfing candle to go short. The same is true when the RSI gets below 20, but the line will turn green and look for longs. It is best used as a back-testing aid, but it can also be used to send emails or SMS alerts whenever the conditions are met. It can also be used as an alternative colored RSI indicator by removing the signals in the settings menu and changing the RSI parameters to whatever you normally use. This can aid in RSI divergence and overbought/sold strategies.
Entries:
The bright green and bright red lines represent the first type of engulfing candle.
The dark green and red lines represent the second type of engulfing candle.
Some pairs perform best with only one of these entries, while others work fine with both.
This is a counter-trend or consolidation strategy, and is best used in combination with trend-continuation or trend-following strategies. As always, make sure you back-test it before you use it to trade as it works better on some pairs than others.

Renko Bar Time by JustUncleLThis indicator in designed to be used with Renko and other price only bars (ie Kagi, LineBreak, Point&Figure) and shows the number of minutes a bar was open before it was confirmed and printed.
NOTE: It will only work on currencies and symbols that are in the 24/5 market, it does account for weekend market close time but does not account for any Forex market holiday close times.
HINTS:
When the BAR TIME is long and the Renko Bricks have wicks, this is an indication of consolidation.
When the BAR TIME is short and the Renko Bricks have no wicks, this is an indication of acceleration.
BullTrading MultiTimeFrame ATR %Good afternoon traders.
Have you ever got trapped on the middle of a consolidation? Well, it just happened to me trading the 1 minute chart last friday!
So, I coded this script to display a percentage of ATR for a given resolution.
Now, how can you benefit using this information?
For example:
Using the standard settings (resolution is calibrated 15 minutes in order to trade 1minute charts), just draw your prefered support and resistance. Then measure the number of pips between support and resistance. This number should be approximately the same the indicator is displaying. If the indicator is displaying a lower value, maybe it will be a good idea to tighten your support/resistance levels (if the price goes against you, you will have confidence and probability on your side to open an opposite position and reach your Take profit before a new reversal take place.
Change colors and resolution for your desired timeframe until you find your particular "sweet spot"
Have a nice trading week.
Market Trend Strength (MTS) (by ChartArt)See the current trend strength of the market. An additional filter makes trend consolidation areas visible. The color changes there each bar back and forth between green and red.
This area was interesting. Would have been a better example:
If the filter is deactivated the indicator shows the last measured price trend (green for up and down for red).
