Sunil High-Frequency Strategy with Simple MACD & RSISunil High-Frequency Strategy with Simple MACD & RSI
This high-frequency trading strategy uses a combination of MACD and RSI to identify quick market opportunities. By leveraging these indicators, combined with dynamic risk management using ATR, it aims to capture small but frequent price movements while ensuring tight control over risk.
Key Features:
Indicators Used:
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The strategy uses a shorter MACD configuration (Fast Length of 6 and Slow Length of 12) to capture quick price momentum shifts. A MACD crossover above the signal line triggers a buy signal, while a crossover below the signal line triggers a sell signal.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): A shorter RSI length of 7 is used to gauge overbought and oversold market conditions. The strategy looks for RSI confirmation, with a long trade initiated when RSI is below the overbought level (70) and a short trade initiated when RSI is above the oversold level (30).
Risk Management:
Dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy uses ATR (Average True Range) to calculate dynamic stop loss and take profit levels based on market volatility.
Stop Loss is set at 0.5x ATR to limit risk.
Take Profit is set at 1.5x ATR to capture reasonable price moves.
Trailing Stop: As the market moves in the strategy’s favor, the position is protected by a trailing stop set at 0.5x ATR, allowing the strategy to lock in profits as the price moves further.
Entry & Exit Signals:
Long Entry: Triggered when the MACD crosses above the signal line (bullish crossover) and RSI is below the overbought level (70).
Short Entry: Triggered when the MACD crosses below the signal line (bearish crossover) and RSI is above the oversold level (30).
Exit Conditions: The strategy exits long or short positions based on the stop loss, take profit, or trailing stop activation.
Frequent Trades:
This strategy is designed for high-frequency trading, with trade signals occurring frequently as the MACD and RSI indicators react quickly to price movements. It works best on lower timeframes such as 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts, but can be adjusted for different timeframes based on the asset’s volatility.
Customizable Parameters:
MACD Settings: Adjust the Fast Length, Slow Length, and Signal Length to tune the MACD’s sensitivity.
RSI Settings: Customize the RSI Length, Overbought, and Oversold levels to better match your trading style.
ATR Settings: Modify the ATR Length and multipliers for Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Trailing Stop to optimize risk management according to market volatility.
Important Notes:
Market Conditions: This strategy is designed to capture smaller, quicker moves in trending markets. It may not perform well during choppy or sideways markets.
Optimizing for Asset Volatility: Adjust the ATR multipliers based on the asset’s volatility to suit the risk-reward profile that fits your trading goals.
Backtesting: It's recommended to backtest the strategy on different assets and timeframes to ensure optimal performance.
Summary:
The Sunil High-Frequency Strategy leverages a simple combination of MACD and RSI with dynamic risk management (using ATR) to trade small but frequent price movements. The strategy ensures tight stop losses and reasonable take profits, with trailing stops to lock in profits as the price moves in favor of the trade. It is ideal for scalping or intraday trading on lower timeframes, aiming for quick entries and exits with controlled risk.

EMA Crossover with RSI and DistanceEMA Crossover with RSI and Distance Strategy
This strategy combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) with Relative Strength Index (RSI) and distance-based conditions to generate buy, sell, and neutral signals. It is designed to help traders identify entry and exit points based on multiple technical indicators.
Key Components:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
The strategy uses four EMAs: EMA 5, EMA 13, EMA 40, and EMA 55.
A buy signal (long) is triggered when EMA 5 crosses above EMA 13 and EMA 40 crosses above EMA 55.
A sell signal (short) is generated when EMA 55 crosses above EMA 40.
The distance between EMAs (5 and 13) is also important. If the current distance between EMA 5 and EMA 13 is smaller than the average distance over the last 5 candles, a neutral condition is triggered, preventing a signal even if all other conditions are met.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
The 14-period RSI is used to determine market strength and direction.
The strategy requires RSI to be above 50 and greater than the average RSI (over the past 14 periods) for a buy signal.
If the RSI is above 60, a green signal is given, indicating a strong bullish condition, even if the EMA conditions are not fully met.
If the RSI is below 40, a red signal is given, indicating a strong bearish condition, regardless of the EMA crossover.
Distance Conditions:
The strategy calculates the distance between EMA 5 and EMA 13 on each candle and compares it to the average distance of the last 5 candles.
If the current distance between EMA 5 and EMA 13 is lower than the average of the last 5 candles, a neutral signal is triggered. This helps avoid entering a trade when the market is losing momentum.
Additionally, if the distance between EMA 40 and EMA 13 is greater than the previous distance, the previous signal is kept intact, ensuring that the trend is still strong enough for the signal to remain valid.
Signal Persistence:
Once a buy (green) or sell (red) signal is triggered, it remains intact as long as the price is closing above EMA 5 for long trades or below EMA 55 for short trades.
If the price moves below EMA 5 for long trades or above EMA 55 for short trades, the signal is recalculated based on the most recent conditions.
Signal Display:
Green Signals: Represent a strong buy signal and are shown below the candle when the RSI is above 60.
Red Signals: Represent a strong sell signal and are shown above the candle when the RSI is below 40.
Neutral Signals: Displayed when the conditions for entry are not met, specifically when the EMA distance condition is violated.
Long and Short Signals: Additional signals are shown based on the EMA crossovers and RSI conditions. These signals are plotted below the candle for long positions and above the candle for short positions.
Trade Logic:
Long Entry: Enter a long trade when EMA 5 crosses above EMA 13, EMA 40 crosses above EMA 55, and the RSI is above 50 and greater than the average RSI. Additionally, the current distance between EMA 5 and EMA 13 should be larger than the average distance of the last 5 candles.
Short Entry: Enter a short trade when EMA 55 crosses above EMA 40 and the RSI is below 40.
Neutral Condition: If the distance between EMA 5 and EMA 13 is smaller than the average distance over the last 5 candles, the strategy will not trigger a signal, even if other conditions are met.
XT Alert Builder - [CrossTrade]The XT Alert Builder is designed to work with CrossTrade and provide an easy way to create strategy entries from Indicator signal sources.
The {{strategy.order.alert_message}} variable along with your Secret Key will send CrossTrade compatible payloads for automated order execution in NinjaTrader 8.
SIGNAL SETTINGS
1. Determine your Entry Signal Source (indicator or OHLC) for both buy and sell signals independently. You can also elect to make the strategy unidirectional by unchecking one of the signal boxes.
2. Determine your Exit Signal Type. The default is Custom which means you're using some kind of input for this like an indicator. Optionally, you can select 'Session End' which will delay the strategy exit until the last bar of the session based n the Trading End Hour/Minute you set in your Trading Hours section.
3. Determine you Exit Sources for Buy and Sells. You can mix and match these inputs for ultimate customization of entries and exits - have fun!
The strategy will by default send a CLOSEPOSITION command to the instrument and account specified based on your Exit settings and time.
TRADING HOURS
Users can specify a trading session or time window to ensure signals only occur during desired hours. The Session End exit signal is based on this window.
NINJATRADER SETTINGS
1. Your NT8 Account. Separate multiple accounts by comma for multi-account placement.
2. Your preferred NT8 instrument in NT compatible format. (e.g. ES 03-25, ES MAR25)
3. Your preferred NT8 quantity
TRADE MANAGEMENT
We've provided both options, you can either use an ATM strategy template or stop loss and take profit levels. More info on Tick and Percentage based stops and targets.
Key Points for successful Trade Management settings application:
1. The ATM template name and qty must match what's saved on Ninja
2. You can choose either ticks or percentage based application - but not both.
3. The stops and target levels need to be offset based on the directional price scale. If you're buying then the stop requires a negative sign and vise versa for Sell orders.
Buy Example:
Take Profit = 50
Stop Loss = -20
CROSSTRADE ADVANCED OPTIONS
Features such as our Flatten first, Require Market Position, Delay Timer, Rate Limiting, and Max Position command enhancements have also been included. More info on these can be found in our Help Docs.
INSTUCTIONS FOR ALERT CREATION

Custom Dual EMA Crossover Strategy with Configurable LogicThis strategy is designed to assist traders in identifying and capitalizing on bullish market trends through a systematic and data-driven approach. It incorporates detailed trend analysis, volatility filtering, and percentage-based thresholds to provide actionable insights and high-confidence trade setups. It leverages the Exponential Moving Average and combines it with custom logic to detect volatility, maximum allowed price movements over last bars and trend confirmation.
Key Features:
- Buy orders follow several conditions, including but not limited to:
a. EMA Crossover: specifically designed to capture immediate market shifts rather than medium- or long-term trends, ensuring responsiveness to rapidly changing conditions but requiring additional confirmations to avoid false signals (see below).
b. Thresholds in Price Changes: Ensures recent price fluctuations remain within specific thresholds, allowing trades to be entered at optimal times and avoiding delayed or unsustainable short-term bullish trends.
c. Adequate Market Volatility: Requires sufficient market activity to avoid false signals stemming from low volatility conditions.
d. Bullish Medium-Term Trend: Validates a bullish medium-term trend using an EMA crossover to avoid trading during bearish market conditions and minimize risk.
- Leverages Take profit and Stop loss levels
- Implements an optional mechanism to automatically close trades after a predefined number of bars, supporting disciplined trade management.
The script does not rely on any public scripts or indicators. Apart the EMA, all the underlying logic, including the volatility thresholds and filtering mechanisms, has been custom developed to ensure originality and precision. The strategy's conditions are all configurable by the user in the TradingView pop-up, allowing it to adapt to different assets and timeframes. For example, users can set the EMA lengths to align with long-term trends for cryptocurrencies or adjust volatility thresholds to account for the specific price movement behavior of stocks or forex pairs.
---
Recommendations:
- Identify a crypto asset with potential
- Before live trading, rigorously backtest your strategy on the chosen asset and interval over a period of at least one year*, analyzing results, refining parameters' value and eventually changing timeframe and / or asset.
- Refine your approach until you achieve consistent profitability with a high win rate. Balance the two — a high win rate is great, but only if your profits outweigh your losses in the long term.
- Once successful, remain disciplined and adhere to the parameters that yield the best results. Set up TradingView alerts to trigger real-time actions via your preferred trading bot. Alerts can be set up on the Indicator, which mirrors the strategy's logic and enables users to execute real-time actions effectively. I will provide you access to the Indicator, as well as the Strategy.
* Alternatively, you can apply the strategy to a shorter period for tactical use. While this approach may increase short-term opportunities (e.g. strong bullish short term movements), it also comes with heightened risks.
Use Cases:
- Suitable for traders focusing on bullish or range-bound markets.
- Ideal for short to medium-term trading horizons.
Access and Configuration Support:
This is an invite-only script. For access, please reach out directly for subscription details. I also provide guidance on configuring the strategy with real-world examples to optimize its use for various assets, intervals and timeframes.

Omega_galskyThe strategy uses three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) — EMA8, EMA21, and EMA89 — to decide when to open buy or sell trades. It also includes a mechanism to move the Stop Loss (SL) to the Break-Even (BE) point, which is the entry price, once the price reaches a Risk-to-Reward (R2R) ratio of 1:1.
Key Steps:
Calculating EMAs: The script computes the EMA values for the specified periods. These help identify market trends and potential entry points.
Buy Conditions:
EMA8 crosses above EMA21.
The candle that causes the crossover is green (closing price is higher than the opening price).
The closing price is above EMA89.
If all conditions are met, a buy order is executed.
Sell Conditions:
EMA8 crosses below EMA21.
The candle that causes the crossover is red (closing price is lower than the opening price).
The closing price is below EMA89.
If all conditions are met, a sell order is executed.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Initial Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are calculated based on the entry price and a percentage defined by the user.
These levels help protect against large losses and lock in profits.
Break-Even Logic:
When the price moves favorably to reach a 1:1 R2R ratio:
For a buy trade, the Stop Loss is moved to the entry price if the price increases sufficiently.
For a sell trade, the Stop Loss is moved to the entry price if the price decreases sufficiently.
This ensures the trade is risk-free after the price reaches the predefined level.
Visual Representation:
The EMAs are plotted on the chart for easy visualization of trends and crossovers.
Entry and exit points are also marked on the chart to track trades.
Purpose:
The strategy is designed to capitalize on EMA crossovers while minimizing risks using Break-Even logic and predefined Stop Loss/Take Profit levels. It automates decision-making for trend-following traders and ensures disciplined risk management.
PSE, Practical Strategy EnginePSE, Practical Strategy Engine
A ready-to-use engine that is simple to connect your indicator to, simple to use, and effective at generating alerts for order-filled events during the real-time candle.
Great for
• Evaluating indicators on important metrics without the need to write a strategy script for backtesting.
• Using indicators with built-in risk management.
About The PSE
This engine accepts entry and exit signals from your indicator to provide trade signals for both long and short positions. The PSE was written for trading Funds (e.g. ETF’s), Stocks, Forex, Futures, and Cryptocurrencies. The trades on the chart indicate market, limit, and stop orders. The PSE allows for backtesting of trades along with metrics of performance based on trade-groups with many great features.
Note: A link to a video of how to connect your indicator(s) to the PSE is provided below.
Key Features
Trade-Grp’s
A Trade-Grp makes up one or more trade positions from the first position entering to the last position exiting. Using Trade-Grp’s instead of positions should help you better assess if the metric results fit your trading style.
Below are two (2) examples of a Trade-Grp with three (3) positions.
Metrics
A table of metrics is available if the “Show Metrics Table” checkbox is enabled on the Inputs tab, but metrics always show in the Data Window.
Examples of the Metrics Table are shown below.
• ROI (Return on Investment) and CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) are based on the Avg Invest/Trade-Grp and are adjusted for dividends if the “Include Dividends in Profit” checkbox is enabled.
• Profit/Risked is based on Trade-Grp’s. Also known as reward/risk, as well as expectancy per amount risked. It determines the effectiveness of your strategy and provides a measure of comparison between your strategies. This is adjusted for dividends if the “Include Dividends in Profit” checkbox is enabled. In the Data Window the color is green when above the breakeven point of making a profit and red when below the breakeven point. In the Table the color is red if below the breakeven point, otherwise it is the default color. For example, using the 3 metrics tables above:
For every USD risked the profit is 1.709 USD.
For every BTC risked the profit is 0.832 BTC.
For every JPY risked the profit is 0.261 JPY.
• Winning % is based on Trade-Grp’s. In the Data Window the color is green when above the breakeven point of making a profit and red when below the breakeven point. In the Table the color is red if below the breakeven point, otherwise it is the default color.
The breakeven point is a relationship between the Profit/Risked and Winning % to indicate system profitability potential. Another way to assess trading system performance. For example, for a low Winning % a high Profit/Risked is needed for the system to be potentially profitable.
• Profit Factor (PF) is based on Trade-Grp’s. The dividend payment, if any, is not considered in the calculation of a win or loss. The “Include Dividends in Profit Factor” checkbox allows you the option to either include or not include dividends in the calculation of Profit Factor. The default is enabled.
Must enable the “Include Dividends in Profit” checkbox to include dividends in PF.
Including dividends in PF evaluates the trading strategy with a more overall profitability performance view.
Enable/Disable “Include Dividends in Profit Factor” checkbox also affects the Avg Trade-Grp Loss, and thus Equity Loss from ECL and % Equity Loss from ECL.
• Max Consecutive Losses are based on Trade-Grp’s.
• Nbr of Trade-Grp’s and Nbr of Positions.
These help you to determine if enough trades have occurred to validate your strategy. The Nbr of Positions is the count of positions on the chart. The TV list of trades in the Strategy Tester may indicate more than what is actually shown on the chart. The Data Window includes 'Nbr Strat Tester Trades', which equals the TV listing trades, to help you locate specific trades on the chart.
• Time in Market (%) is based on Trade-Grp’s and date range selected.
• Avg Invest/Trade-Grp will indicate the average amount of money invested in a Trade-Grp. This is adjusted for dividends if the “Include Dividends in Profit” checkbox is enabled.
• Equivalent Consecutive Losses, labeled as Equiv. Cons. Losses (ECL).
This value is determined by the Winning % and Nbr of Trade-Grp’s. This simulates the more likely case of a series of losses, then a small win, then another series of losses to form an equivalent consecutive losing streak. To lower the value, increase the Winning %.
• Equity Loss from ECL is the equity loss from the equivalent consecutive losses.
• % Equity Loss from ECL is the percent of equity loss from the equivalent consecutive losses.
Risk Management
• Pyramid rules enforce and maintain position sizing designated by you on the Inputs tab (% Equity to Risk, Up/Dwn Gap) & Properties tab (number of pyramids, slippage, and commission).
A pyramid position will not occur unless both its stop covers the last entry price with gap/slippage and commission cost of previous trade is covered. If take profit is enabled, a pyramid position will not occur unless commission cost of the trade is covered when take profit target is reached.
• Position sizing, stop-loss (SL), trailing stop-loss (TSL), and take profit (TP) are used.
• Wash sale prevention for applicable assets is enforced. Wash sale assets include stock and fund (e.g. ETF’s).
• No more than one entry position per candle is enforced .
Other Great Features
• Losing Trade-Grp’s indicated at the exit with label text in the color blue. Used to easily find consecutive losses affecting your strategy’s performance. The dividend payment, if any, is not considered in the calculation of a win or loss.
• Position values can be displayed on the chart. The number format is based on the min tick value, but is limited to 8 decimal places only for display purposes.
• Dividends per share and the amount can be displayed on the chart.
• Hold Days . This is the number of days to hold before allowing the next Trade-Grp. Can be a decimal number. This feature may help those trading on a cash account to avoid any settlement violations when trading the same asset.
• Date Filter. Partition the time when trading is allowed to see if the strategy works well across the date range selected. The metrics should be acceptable across all four (4) time ranges: entire range, 1st half, IQR (inter-quartile range), and 2nd half.
• Price gap amount identification. Used in determining if a pyramid entry may be profitable, and may be used in determining slippage amount to use.
• When TP is enabled, the PSE will only allow a pyramid position if the potential is profitable based on commission and price gap selected.
• Trade-Grp’s shown in background color: green for long positions and red for short positions.
• The PSE will alert you to update your stop-loss as the market changes if your exchange/broker does not allow for trailing stop-loss orders. Enable this option on the Inputs tab with Alert Chg TSL.
• The PSE will alert you if your drawdown exceeds Max % Equity Drawdown set on the Inputs tab.
• The PSE will send an alert to warn you of an expiring GTC order.
Some brokers will indicate the order is GTC, Good 'Till Cancelled, but there really is a time limit on the order and is typically 60-120 days. Therefore, the PSE will alert you if you've been in position for close to 60 days so you can refresh your order. The alert is typically a few days before the 60-day time period.
• For order fill alerts just use a {{placeholder}} in the Message of the alert. Details on how to enter placeholders is explained below.
• Identify same bar enter/exit for first entries and pyramids. This is shown in the Data Window as well. This can help you determine what stop-loss % works best for your trading style.
• Leverage trading information is displayed in the Data Window and applies to Trade-Grps.
Failed PosSize or Margin (%): Shows a zero if the failed-to-trade position size was less than 1 or shows the margin % which failed to meet the margin requirement set in the Properties tab. A flag will show on the bar where a failed-to-trade occurred. This is only applicable to the first position of a Trade-Grp. Position the cursor over the flag for the value to show in the Data Window.
Notional Value: total Trade-Grp position size x latest entry price x point value. The equity must be > notional value x margin requirement for a trade to occur.
Current Margin (%): must be greater than margin requirement set on the Properties tab in order for a trade to occur.
Margin Call Price: when enabled on the Style tab is displayed on both the chart and the Data Window as shown below.
PSE Settings
Pyramids
• Pyramiding requires the Stop Method to be set to either TSL or Both (meaning SL & TSL).
• The maximum number of pyramids is determined by the value entered in the Properties tab.
• Pyramid orders require the enter price to be higher than the previous close for Longs and lower than the previous close for Shorts.
• Pyramids also require the stop with gap/slippage to be higher than the last entry price for Longs, and lower than the last entry price for Shorts. This covers all previous positions and maintains position sizing.
• When take profit, TP, is enabled, the pyramids also require that they will be profitable when opening a position assuming they will reach TP. This is automatically adjusted by you with the Dwn Gap/Up Gap, Slippage, and Commission settings.
Inputs Tab
General Settings
Color Traded Background
Enable to change background color where in a trade. Green for long positions and red for short positions.
Show Losing Trade-Grp
Enable to show if losing Trade-Grp and is indicated by text in blue color. The last position may be at a loss, but if there was profit for the Trade-Grp, then it will not be shown as a loss .
Show Position Values
Enable to show the currency value of each position in gold color.
Include Dividends in Profit
This feature is only applicable if the asset pays dividends and the time frame period of the chart is 1D or less, otherwise ignored. The PSE assumes dividends are taken as cash and not reinvested.
Enable to adjust ROI, CAGR, Profit/Risked, Avg Invest/Trade-Grp, and Equity to include dividend payments. This feature considers if you were in position at least one day prior to the ex-dividend date and had not exited until after the ex-dividend date.
When Show Dividends is enabled it will display the payout in currency/share, as well as the total amount based on the number of shares the position(s) of the Trade-Grp are currently holding.
Include Dividends in Profit Factor
This checkbox allows you the option to either include or not include dividends in the calculation of Profit Factor. Must enable the “Include Dividends in Profit” checkbox to include dividends in PF. The dividend payment, if any, is not considered in the calculation of a win or loss.
Show Metrics Table
Options are font size and table location.
Alert Failed to Trade
Enable for the strategy to alert you when a trade did not happen due to low equity or low order size. Applicable only for the first position of a Trade-Grp.
Trade Direction
Options are 'Longs Only', 'Both', 'Shorts Only'.
Hold Days
This is the number of days to hold before allowing the next Trade-Grp. Applies only to the first trade position of a Trade-Grp. Where a Trade-Grp consists of the first position plus any pyramid positions.
The value entered will be overwritten to >= 31 to prevent wash sale for applicable assets in the event the last Trade-Grp was a loss. Wash sale assets include stock and fund (i.e. ETF’s).
The minimum value is the equivalent of 1 candle and is automatically assigned by the PSE if the entered value is equivalent to less than one candle. To calculate Hold Days in # of candles on the Hour chart divide the chart period by 24 x #candles. On the Minute chart divide the chart period by 60 then by 24 x #candles.
Show Vertical Lines at From Date & To Date
Shows a vertical dotted line at the From Date and To Date for visual inspection of the setting.
Date Filter
When enabled, trades are allowed between the From Date and To Date, i.e., the date range.
When disabled, trades are allowed for all candles.
Partition the time when trading is allowed to see if your indicator settings work well across the date range. Click 1st Half, IQR (inter-quartile range), or 2nd Half buttons to trade a portion of the date range.
Select only one at-a-time to partition the time when trading is allowed.
When 1st Half is enabled only trades for the 1st half of the date range are allowed.
When IQR is enabled only trades for the inter-quartile date range are allowed.
When 2nd Half is enabled only trades for the 2nd half of the date range are allowed.
Position Sizing
The % of Equity to Risk has been separated into two (2) areas: for initial trades and for pyramid trades. This allows for greater ability to maximize profits within your acceptable drawdown. A variation of the Anti-Martingale method from the initial trade if you choose to use it in that manner.
% Equity to Risk for Initial Trades: enter the percent of equity you want to risk per position for the initial trades of each Trade-Grp. For example, for 1% enter 1.
% Equity to Risk for Pyramid Trades: enter the percent of equity you want to risk per position for the pyramid trades of each Trade-Grp. For example, for 2% enter 2.
% Equity for Max Position Size: the position size will not exceed this amount. For example, for 25% enter 25.
Max % Equity Drawdown Warning: an alert will be triggered if the maximum drawdown exceeds this v alue. For example, for 10% enter 10.
Stop Methods
NOTE: The Stop Method must be either Both or TSL in order for the pyramids to work. This feature enforces position sizing.
Stop-loss, SL, and trailing stop-loss, TSL, are other features that enforce risk management.
The trailing stop-loss, TSL, is activated immediately if Stop Method = TSL. If Stop Method = Both, then the TSL is activated when its value is above stop-loss, SL, for Longs and below the SL for Shorts.
The calculated TSL value (shown on the chart by + symbol) of the previous bar is used for the current bar and the plot value is off by default, but you can it turn on via the Style tab. This is available so you can better understand how the TSL value used was calculated from. It is beneficial to show when monitoring the real-time candle.
Alert Chg TSL
When enabled, this feature will alert you to update your stop price if it moves greater than the change amount in %. The amount is the absolute % so will work for both Longs and Shorts. For example, for 1% enter 1 . This is provided since some exchanges/brokers do not offer TSL orders and you must manually adjust as price action plays out.
The alert will also suggest a stop limit price based on the gap selected and explained below.
The alert will occur at the close of the candle at the calculated TSL value of the candle just prior to the real-time candle.
Dwn Gap/Up Gap Input Settings
A price gap is the difference between the closing price of the previous candle and the opening price of the current candle. Dwn Gap and Up Gap are illustrated here.
The values of the Dwn Gap and Up Gap can be seen in the Data Window and are based on the settings of the Date Filter.
The options are “zero gap”, "median gap", "avg gap", "80 pct gap", "90 pct gap". The X pct gap stands for X percentile rank. For example, "80 pct gap" means that 80% of the gaps are less than or equal to the value shown in the Data Window. Select “zero gap” to disable this feature.
If Show Stop Limit is enabled, it will show a dotted-line below or above the current stop price where a stop-limit order should be taken. It is shown based on the gap option selected. Again, the PSE trades market, limit, and stop orders, but a stop-limit may be shown if you wanted to see where one would be set using the Up/Dwn Gap.
Dwn Gap: Affects Short Take Profit, Long Pyramid Entries, and to show the Long Stop Limit.
Up Gap : Affects Long Take Profit, Short Pyramid Entries, and to show the Short Stop Limit.
Fixed Take Profit (TP)
When take profit (TP) is enabled, the PSE will determine if opening a pyramid position will be in profit assuming the TP will be hit while considering commission costs (on Properties tab).
The larger of Up Gap or Slippage value is used with Long positions regarding TP.
The larger of Dwn Gap or Slippage value is used with Short positions regarding TP.
Properties Tab
• Initial Capital: Set as desired.
• Base Currency: Leave as Default. The PSE is designed to use the instrument’s currency, therefore leave as Default.
• Order Size: Leave as default. This setting has been disabled and position sizing is handled on the Inputs tab and is based on % of equity.
• Pyramiding: Set as desired.
• Commission: Set as number %. The PSE is designed to only work with commission as a percent of the position value.
• Verify Price for Limit Orders: Set as desired.
Slippage
Adjust Slippage on the Properties tab to account for a realistic bid-ask spread. You can use one of Dwn/Up Gap values or other guidelines. Again, the Dwn/Up Gap values are based on the Date Filter input settings.
Heed warnings from the TradingView Pine Script™ manual about values entered into the Slippage field.
The Slippage (ticks) have a noticeable influence on entry price and exit price especially at the beginning when the date range includes prices from $0.01 to $100,000.00 like that for BTC-USD INDEX. When this is the case, it is best to use different slippage values when partitioning time with the Date Filter.
To minimize the effects of slippage, yet account for it select ‘median gap’ on the Input Tab and use that value for slippage on the Properties tab.
The slippage value is included in the placeholder {{strategy.order.price}}.
Leverage Trading
The PSE is designed to be used both without leverage (the default) and with leverage.
These two settings apply to Trade-Grps. For example, for 5x leverage enter 20 (1/5x100=20).
Margin for Long Positions: Set as desired. The default is 100%.
Margin for Short Positions: Set as desired. The default is 100%.
This setting on the Inputs tab applies to each trade position within a Trade-Grp.
Max % Equity per Position: Set as desired. The default is 20% and intended for non-leverage trading. For leverage trading set as desired. For example, for 3x leverage enter 300 (3x100=300).
Recalculate After Order Is Filled
The PSE uses the strategy parameter calc_on_order_fills=true to allow for enter/exit on the same bar and generate alerts immediately after an order is filled. This parameter is on the Properties tab and is named ‘Recalculate After order is filled’ and is enabled by default.
Disabling this feature will cause the PSE to not work as intended.
You will see the following Caution! on the TV Strategy Tester
This occurs because the PSE has the strategy parameter calc_on_order_fills = true.
Again, the PSE will only work as intended if this parameter is enabled and set to true.
Therefore, you can close the caution sign and be confident of receiving realistic results.
Recalculate On every tick: Disable.
Fill Orders
• Using bar magnifier: Set as desired.
• On Bar Close: Disable. The PSE will not work as intended if this is enabled.
• Using Standard OHLC: Set as desired.
Using The Alert Message Box From TV Strategy Alert
Set alerts to gain access to all the alerts from PSE. This allows for both order filled alerts, as well as the alert function calls related to refresh GTC orders, drawdown exceeded, update stop-loss order, and Failed to Trade.
Example Message for Manual Trading Alerts
(This is just an example. Consult TV manual for possible placeholders to use.)
{
Alert for {{plot("position_for_alert")}} position. (long = 1; short = -1)
{{exchange}}:{{ticker}} on TF of {{interval}} at Broker Name
{{strategy.order.action}} Equity x Equity_Multiplier USD in shares at price = {{strategy.order.price}},
where Equity_Multiplier = {{strategy.order.contracts}} x {{strategy.order.price}} / {{plot("Equity")}}
or {{strategy.order.action}} {{strategy.order.contracts}} shares at price = {{strategy.order.price}}.
}
Note: Use the Equity x Equity_Multiplier method if you have several accounts with different initial capital.
Example Message for Bot Trading Alerts
(You must consult your specific bot for configuring the alert message. This is just an example.)
{
"action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
“price”: {{strategy.order.price}}

Connecting to the PSE
The diagram below illustrates how to connect indicators to the PSE.
The Aroon and MACD indicators are only used here as an example. Substitute your own indicators and add as many as you like.
Connection Indicator for the PSE
A video of how to connect your indicator(s) to the PSE is below.
The Connection Indicator for the PSE, also called here the connection-indicator.
Below is a description of how to connect your chosen indicators to the connection-indicator. Two (2) indicators were chosen for the example, but you may have one (1) or many indicators.
If you have source code access to your indicators you can paste the code directly into the connection-indicator to eliminate the need to have those indicators on the chart and the additional connection of them to the connection-indicator. Below will assume source code to the indicators are not available.
The MACD and Aroon Oscillator are from TV built standard indicators and are shown here just as an example for inputs (i.e. source) to the connection-indicator. They were configured as follows:
The source code for the connection-indicator is shown below. Substitute your own chosen indicators and add as many as you like to create your connection-indicator that feeds into the PSE. The MACD and Aroon Oscillator were simply chosen as an example. Configure your connection-indicator in the manner shown below.

HOD/LOD/PMH/PML/PDH/PDL Strategy by @tradingbauhaus This script is a trading strategy @tradingbauhaus designed to trade based on key price levels, such as the High of Day (HOD), Low of Day (LOD), Premarket High (PMH), Premarket Low (PML), Previous Day High (PDH), and Previous Day Low (PDL). Below, I’ll explain in detail what the script does:
Core Functionality of the Script:
Calculates Key Price Levels:
HOD (High of Day): The highest price of the current day.
LOD (Low of Day): The lowest price of the current day.
PMH (Premarket High): The highest price during the premarket session (before the market opens).
PML (Premarket Low): The lowest price during the premarket session.
PDH (Previous Day High): The highest price of the previous day.
PDL (Previous Day Low): The lowest price of the previous day.
Draws Horizontal Lines on the Chart:
Plots horizontal lines on the chart for each key level (HOD, LOD, PMH, PML, PDH, PDL) with specific colors for easy visual identification.
Defines Entry and Exit Rules:
Long Entry (Buy): If the price crosses above the PMH (Premarket High) or the PDH (Previous Day High).
Short Entry (Sell): If the price crosses below the PML (Premarket Low) or the PDL (Previous Day Low).
Long Exit: If the price reaches the HOD (High of Day) during a long position.
Short Exit: If the price reaches the LOD (Low of Day) during a short position.
How the Script Works Step by Step:
Calculates Key Levels:
Uses the request.security function to fetch the HOD and LOD of the current day, as well as the highs and lows of the previous day (PDH and PDL).
Calculates the PMH and PML during the premarket session (before 9:30 AM).
Plots Levels on the Chart:
Uses the plot function to draw horizontal lines on the chart representing the key levels (HOD, LOD, PMH, PML, PDH, PDL).
Each level has a specific color for easy identification:
HOD: White.
LOD: Purple.
PDH: Orange.
PDL: Blue.
PMH: Green.
PML: Red.
Defines Trading Rules:
Uses conditions with ta.crossover and ta.crossunder to detect when the price crosses key levels.
Long Entry: If the price crosses above the PMH or PDH, a long position (buy) is opened.
Short Entry: If the price crosses below the PML or PDL, a short position (sell) is opened.
Long Exit: If the price reaches the HOD during a long position, the position is closed.
Short Exit: If the price reaches the LOD during a short position, the position is closed.
Executes Orders Automatically:
Uses the strategy.entry and strategy.close functions to open and close positions automatically based on the defined rules.
Advantages of This Strategy:
Based on Key Levels: Uses important price levels that often act as support and resistance.
Easy to Visualize: Horizontal lines on the chart make it easy to identify levels.
Automated: Entries and exits are executed automatically based on the defined rules.
Limitations of This Strategy:
Dependent on Volatility: Works best in markets with significant price movements.
False Crosses: There may be false crosses that generate incorrect signals.
No Advanced Risk Management: Does not include dynamic stop-loss or take-profit mechanisms.
How to Improve the Strategy:
Add Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: To limit losses and lock in profits.
Filter Signals with Indicators: Use RSI, MACD, or other indicators to confirm signals.
Optimize Levels: Adjust key levels based on the asset’s behavior.
In summary, this script is a trading strategy that operates based on key price levels, such as HOD, LOD, PMH, PML, PDH, and PDL. It is useful for traders who want to trade based on significant support and resistance levels.
Gold Trade Setup Strategy
Title: Profitable Gold Setup Strategy with Adaptive Moving Average & Supertrend
Introduction:
This trading strategy for Gold (XAU/USD) combines the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) and Supertrend, tailored for high-probability setups during specific trading hours. The AMA identifies the trend, while the Supertrend confirms entry and exit points. The strategy is optimized for swing and intraday traders looking to capitalize on Gold’s price movements with precise trade timing.
Strategy Components:
1. Adaptive Moving Average (AMA):
• Reacts dynamically to market conditions, filtering noise in choppy markets.
• Serves as the primary trend indicator.
2. Supertrend:
• Confirms entry signals with clear buy and sell levels.
• Acts as a trailing stop-loss to protect profits.
Trading Rules:
Trading Hours:
• Only take trades between 8:30 AM and 10:30 PM IST.
• Avoid trading outside these hours to reduce noise and low-volume setups.
Buy Setup:
1. Trend Confirmation: The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) must be green.
2. Signal Confirmation: The Supertrend should turn green after the AMA is green.
3. Trigger: Take the trade when the high of the trigger candle (the candle that turned Supertrend green) is broken.
Sell Setup (Optional if included):
• Reverse the rules for a short trade: AMA and Supertrend should both indicate bearish conditions (red), and take the trade when the low of the trigger candle is broken.
Stop-Loss and Targets:
• Place the stop-loss at the low of the trigger candle for long trades.
• Set a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use the Supertrend line as a trailing stop-loss.
Timeframes:
• Recommended timeframes: 1H, 4H, or Daily for swing trading.
• For intraday trading, use 15-minute or 30-minute charts.
Why This Strategy Works:
• Combines trend-following (AMA) with momentum-based entries (Supertrend).
• Focused trading hours filter out low-probability setups.
• Provides precise entry, stop-loss, and target levels for disciplined trading.
Conclusion:
This Gold Setup Strategy is designed for traders seeking a structured approach to trading Gold. Follow the rules strictly, backtest the strategy extensively, and share your results. Let’s master the Gold market together!

EMA RSI Trend Reversal Ver.1Overview:
The EMA RSI Trend Reversal indicator combines the power of two well-known technical indicators—Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—to identify potential trend reversal points in the market. The strategy looks for key crossovers between the fast and slow EMAs, and uses the RSI to confirm the strength of the trend. This combination helps to avoid false signals during sideways market conditions.
How It Works:
Buy Signal:
The Fast EMA (9) crosses above the Slow EMA (21), indicating a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
The RSI is above 50, confirming strong bullish momentum.
Visual Signal: A green arrow below the price bar and a Buy label are plotted on the chart.
Sell Signal:
The Fast EMA (9) crosses below the Slow EMA (21), indicating a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
The RSI is below 50, confirming weak or bearish momentum.
Visual Signal: A red arrow above the price bar and a Sell label are plotted on the chart.
Key Features:
EMA Crossovers: The Fast EMA crossing above the Slow EMA signals potential buying opportunities, while the Fast EMA crossing below the Slow EMA signals potential selling opportunities.
RSI Confirmation: The RSI helps confirm trend strength—values above 50 indicate bullish momentum, while values below 50 indicate bearish momentum.
Visual Cues: The strategy uses green arrows and red arrows along with Buy and Sell labels for clear visual signals of when to enter or exit trades.
Signal Interpretation:
Green Arrow / Buy Label: The Fast EMA (9) has crossed above the Slow EMA (21), and the RSI is above 50. This is a signal to buy or enter a long position.
Red Arrow / Sell Label: The Fast EMA (9) has crossed below the Slow EMA (21), and the RSI is below 50. This is a signal to sell or exit the long position.
Strategy Settings:
Fast EMA Length: Set to 9 (this determines how sensitive the fast EMA is to recent price movements).
Slow EMA Length: Set to 21 (this smooths out price movements to identify the broader trend).
RSI Length: Set to 14 (default setting to track momentum strength).
RSI Level: Set to 50 (used to confirm the strength of the trend—above 50 for buy signals, below 50 for sell signals).
Risk Management (Optional):
Use take profit and stop loss based on your preferred risk-to-reward ratio. For example, you can set a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio (2x take profit for every 1x stop loss).
Backtesting and Optimization:
Backtest the strategy on TradingView by opening the Strategy Tester tab. This will allow you to see how the strategy would have performed on historical data.
Optimization: Adjust the EMA lengths, RSI period, and risk-to-reward settings based on your asset and time frame.
Limitations:
False Signals in Sideways Markets: Like any trend-following strategy, this indicator may generate false signals during periods of low volatility or sideways movement.
Not Suitable for All Market Conditions: This indicator performs best in trending markets. It may underperform in choppy or range-bound markets.
Strategy Example:
XRP/USD Example:
If you're trading XRP/USD and the Fast EMA (9) crosses above the Slow EMA (21), while the RSI is above 50, the indicator will signal a Buy.
Conversely, if the Fast EMA (9) crosses below the Slow EMA (21), and the RSI is below 50, the indicator will signal a Sell.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD):
On the BTC/USD chart, when the indicator shows a green arrow and a Buy label, it’s signaling a potential long entry. Similarly, a red arrow and Sell label indicate a short entry or exit from a previous long position.
Summary:
The EMA RSI Trend Reversal Indicator helps traders identify potential trend reversals with clear buy and sell signals based on the EMA crossovers and RSI confirmations. By using green arrows and red arrows, along with Buy and Sell labels, this strategy offers easy-to-understand visual signals for entering and exiting trades. Combine this with effective risk management and backtesting to optimize your trading performance.
Kernel Regression Envelope with SMI OscillatorThis script combines the predictive capabilities of the **Nadaraya-Watson estimator**, implemented by the esteemed jdehorty (credit to him for his excellent work on the `KernelFunctions` library and the original Nadaraya-Watson Envelope indicator), with the confirmation strength of the **Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI)** to create a dynamic trend reversal strategy. The core idea is to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions using the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope and then confirm these signals with the SMI before entering a trade.
**Understanding the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope:**
The Nadaraya-Watson estimator is a non-parametric regression technique that essentially calculates a weighted average of past price data to estimate the current underlying trend. Unlike simple moving averages that give equal weight to all past data within a defined period, the Nadaraya-Watson estimator uses a **kernel function** (in this case, the Rational Quadratic Kernel) to assign weights. The key parameters influencing this estimation are:
* **Lookback Window (h):** This determines how many historical bars are considered for the estimation. A larger window results in a smoother estimation, while a smaller window makes it more reactive to recent price changes.
* **Relative Weighting (alpha):** This parameter controls the influence of different time frames in the estimation. Lower values emphasize longer-term price action, while higher values make the estimator more sensitive to shorter-term movements.
* **Start Regression at Bar (x\_0):** This allows you to exclude the potentially volatile initial bars of a chart from the calculation, leading to a more stable estimation.
The script calculates the Nadaraya-Watson estimation for the closing price (`yhat_close`), as well as the highs (`yhat_high`) and lows (`yhat_low`). The `yhat_close` is then used as the central trend line.
**Dynamic Envelope Bands with ATR:**
To identify potential entry and exit points around the Nadaraya-Watson estimation, the script uses **Average True Range (ATR)** to create dynamic envelope bands. ATR measures the volatility of the price. By multiplying the ATR by different factors (`nearFactor` and `farFactor`), we create multiple bands:
* **Near Bands:** These are closer to the Nadaraya-Watson estimation and are intended to identify potential immediate overbought or oversold zones.
* **Far Bands:** These are further away and can act as potential take-profit or stop-loss levels, representing more extreme price extensions.
The script calculates both near and far upper and lower bands, as well as an average between the near and far bands. This provides a nuanced view of potential support and resistance levels around the estimated trend.
**Confirming Reversals with the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI):**
While the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope identifies potential overextended conditions, the **Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI)** is used to confirm a potential trend reversal. The SMI, unlike a traditional stochastic oscillator, oscillates around a zero line. It measures the location of the current closing price relative to the median of the high/low range over a specified period.
The script calculates the SMI on a **higher timeframe** (defined by the "Timeframe" input) to gain a broader perspective on the market momentum. This helps to filter out potential whipsaws and false signals that might occur on the current chart's timeframe. The SMI calculation involves:
* **%K Length:** The lookback period for calculating the highest high and lowest low.
* **%D Length:** The period for smoothing the relative range.
* **EMA Length:** The period for smoothing the SMI itself.
The script uses a double EMA for smoothing within the SMI calculation for added smoothness.
**How the Indicators Work Together in the Strategy:**
The strategy enters a long position when:
1. The closing price crosses below the **near lower band** of the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope, suggesting a potential oversold condition.
2. The SMI crosses above its EMA, indicating positive momentum.
3. The SMI value is below -50, further supporting the oversold idea on the higher timeframe.
Conversely, the strategy enters a short position when:
1. The closing price crosses above the **near upper band** of the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope, suggesting a potential overbought condition.
2. The SMI crosses below its EMA, indicating negative momentum.
3. The SMI value is above 50, further supporting the overbought idea on the higher timeframe.
Trades are closed when the price crosses the **far band** in the opposite direction of the trade. A stop-loss is also implemented based on a fixed value.
**In essence:** The Nadaraya-Watson Envelope identifies areas where the price might be deviating significantly from its estimated trend. The SMI, calculated on a higher timeframe, then acts as a confirmation signal, suggesting that the momentum is shifting in the direction of a potential reversal. The ATR-based bands provide dynamic entry and exit points based on the current volatility.
**How to Use the Script:**
1. **Apply the script to your chart.**
2. **Adjust the "Kernel Settings":**
* **Lookback Window (h):** Experiment with different values to find the smoothness that best suits the asset and timeframe you are trading. Lower values make the envelope more reactive, while higher values make it smoother.
* **Relative Weighting (alpha):** Adjust to control the influence of different timeframes on the Nadaraya-Watson estimation.
* **Start Regression at Bar (x\_0):** Increase this value if you want to exclude the initial, potentially volatile, bars from the calculation.
* **Stoploss:** Set your desired stop-loss value.
3. **Adjust the "SMI" settings:**
* **%K Length, %D Length, EMA Length:** These parameters control the sensitivity and smoothness of the SMI. Experiment to find settings that work well for your trading style.
* **Timeframe:** Select the higher timeframe you want to use for SMI confirmation.
4. **Adjust the "ATR Length" and "Near/Far ATR Factor":** These settings control the width and sensitivity of the envelope bands. Smaller ATR lengths make the bands more reactive to recent volatility.
5. **Customize the "Color Settings"** to your preference.
6. **Observe the plots:**
* The **Nadaraya-Watson Estimation (yhat)** line represents the estimated underlying trend.
* The **near and far upper and lower bands** visualize potential overbought and oversold zones based on the ATR.
* The **fill areas** highlight the regions between the near and far bands.
7. **Look for entry signals:** A long entry is considered when the price touches or crosses below the lower near band and the SMI confirms upward momentum. A short entry is considered when the price touches or crosses above the upper near band and the SMI confirms downward momentum.
8. **Manage your trades:** The script provides exit signals when the price crosses the far band. The fixed stop-loss will also close trades if the price moves against your position.
**Justification for Combining Nadaraya-Watson Envelope and SMI:**
The combination of the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope and the SMI provides a more robust approach to identifying potential trend reversals compared to using either indicator in isolation. The Nadaraya-Watson Envelope excels at identifying potential areas where the price is overextended relative to its recent history. However, relying solely on the envelope can lead to false signals, especially in choppy or volatile markets. By incorporating the SMI as a confirmation tool, we add a momentum filter that helps to validate the potential reversals signaled by the envelope. The higher timeframe SMI further helps to filter out noise and focus on more significant shifts in momentum. The ATR-based bands add a dynamic element to the entry and exit points, adapting to the current market volatility. This mashup aims to leverage the strengths of each indicator to create a more reliable trading strategy.

Temporary Help Services Jobs - Trend Allocation StrategyThis strategy is designed to capitalize on the economic trends represented by the Temporary Help Services (TEMPHELPS) index, which is published by the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED). Temporary Help Services Jobs are often regarded as a leading indicator of labor market conditions, as changes in temporary employment levels frequently precede broader employment trends.
Methodology:
Data Source: The strategy uses the FRED dataset TEMPHELPS for monthly data on temporary help services.
Trend Definition:
Uptrend: When the current month's value is greater than the previous month's value.
Downtrend: When the current month's value is less than the previous month's value.
Entry Condition: A long position is opened when an uptrend is detected, provided no position is currently held.
Exit Condition: The long position is closed when a downtrend is detected.
Scientific Basis:
The TEMPHELPS index serves as a leading economic indicator, as noted in studies analyzing labor market cyclicality (e.g., Katz & Krueger, 1999). Temporary employment is often considered a proxy for broader economic conditions, particularly in predicting recessions or recoveries. Incorporating this index into trading strategies allows for aligning trades with potential macroeconomic shifts, as suggested by research on employment trends and market performance (Autor, 2001; Valetta & Bengali, 2013).
Usage:
This strategy is best suited for long-term investors or macroeconomic trend followers who wish to leverage labor market signals for equity or futures trading. It operates exclusively on end-of-month data, ensuring minimal transaction costs and noise.
Moving Average Crossover Strategy with Take Profit and Stop LossThe Moving Average Crossover Strategy is a popular trading technique that utilizes two moving averages (MAs) of different periods to identify potential buy and sell signals. By incorporating take profit and stop loss levels, traders can effectively manage their risk while maximizing potential returns. Here’s a detailed explanation of how this strategy works:
Overview of the Moving Average Crossover Strategy
Moving Averages:
A short-term moving average (e.g., 50-day MA) reacts more quickly to price changes, while a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day MA) smooths out price fluctuations over a longer period.
The strategy generates trading signals based on the crossover of these two averages:
Buy Signal: When the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA (often referred to as a "Golden Cross").
Sell Signal: When the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA (known as a "Death Cross").
Implementing Take Profit and Stop Loss
1. Setting Take Profit Levels
Definition: A take profit order automatically closes a trade when it reaches a specified profit level.
Strategy:
Determine a realistic profit target based on historical price action, support and resistance levels, or a fixed risk-reward ratio (e.g., 2:1).
For instance, if you enter a buy position at $100, you might set a take profit at $110 if you anticipate that level will act as resistance.
2. Setting Stop Loss Levels
Definition: A stop loss order limits potential losses by closing a trade when the price reaches a specified level.
Strategy:
Place the stop loss just below the most recent swing low for buy orders or above the recent swing high for sell orders.
Alternatively, you can use a percentage-based method (e.g., 2-3% below the entry point) to define your stop loss.
For example, if you enter a buy position at $100 with a stop loss set at $95, your maximum loss would be limited to $5 per share.
Example of Using Moving Average Crossover with Take Profit and Stop Loss
Entry Signal:
You observe that the 50-day MA crosses above the 200-day MA at $100. You enter a buy position.
Setting Take Profit and Stop Loss:
You analyze historical price levels and set your take profit at $110.
You place your stop loss at $95 based on recent swing lows.
Trade Management:
If the price rises to $110, your take profit order is executed, securing your profit.
If the price falls to $95, your stop loss is triggered, limiting your losses.
Relative StrengthThis strategy employs a custom "strength" function to assess the relative strength of a user-defined source (e.g., closing price, moving average) compared to its historical performance over various timeframes (8, 34, 20, 50, and 200 periods). The strength is calculated as a percentage change from an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for shorter timeframes and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) for longer timeframes. Weights are then assigned to each timeframe based on a logarithmic scale, and a weighted average strength is computed.
Key Features:
Strength Calculation:
Calculates the relative strength of the source using EMAs and SMAs over various timeframes.
Assigns weights to each timeframe based on a logarithmic scale, emphasizing shorter timeframes.
Calculates a weighted average strength for a comprehensive view.
Visualizations:
Plots the calculated strength as a line, colored green for positive strength and red for negative strength.
Fills the background area below the line with green for positive strength and red for negative strength, enhancing visualization.
Comparative Analysis:
Optionally displays the strength of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) for comparison with the main source strength.
Backtesting:
Allows users to specify a start and end time for backtesting the strategy's performance.
Trading Signals:
Generates buy signals when the strength turns positive from negative and vice versa for sell signals.
Entry and exit are conditional on the backtesting time range.
Basic buy and sell signal plots are commented out (can be uncommented for visual representation).
Risk Management:
Closes all open positions and cancels pending orders outside the backtesting time range.
Disclaimer:
Backtesting results do not guarantee future performance. This strategy is for educational purposes only and should be thoroughly tested and refined before risking capital.
Additional Notes:
- The strategy uses a custom "strength" function that can be further customized to explore different timeframes and weighting schemes.
- Consider incorporating additional technical indicators or filters to refine the entry and exit signals.
- Backtesting with different parameters and market conditions is crucial for evaluating the strategy's robustness.
McClellan A-D Volume Integration ModelThe strategy integrates the McClellan A-D Oscillator with an adjustment based on the Advance/Decline (A-D) volume data. The McClellan Oscillator is calculated by taking the difference between the short-term and long-term exponential moving averages (EMAs) of the A-D line. This strategy introduces an enhancement where the A-D volume (the difference between the advancing and declining volume) is factored in to adjust the oscillator value.
Inputs:
• ema_short_length: The length for the short-term EMA of the A-D line.
• ema_long_length: The length for the long-term EMA of the A-D line.
• osc_threshold_long: The threshold below which the oscillator must drop for an entry signal to trigger.
• exit_periods: The number of periods after which the position is closed.
• Data Sources:
• ad_advance and ad_decline are the data sources for advancing and declining issues, respectively.
• vol_advance and vol_decline are the volume data for the advancing and declining issues. If volume data is unavailable, it defaults to na (Not Available), and the fallback logic ensures that the strategy continues to function.
McClellan Oscillator with Volume Adjustment:
• The A-D line is calculated by subtracting the declining issues from the advancing issues. Then, the volume difference is applied to this line, creating a “weighted” A-D line.
• The short and long EMAs are calculated for the weighted A-D line to generate the McClellan Oscillator.
Entry Condition:
• The strategy looks for a reversal signal, where the oscillator falls below the threshold and then rises above it again. The condition is designed to trigger a long position when this reversal happens.
Exit Condition:
• The position is closed after a set number of periods (exit_periods) have passed since the entry.
Plotting:
• The McClellan Oscillator and the threshold are plotted on the chart for visual reference.
• Entry and exit signals are highlighted with background colors to make the signals more visible.
Scientific Background:
The McClellan A-D Oscillator is a popular market breadth indicator developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan. It is used to gauge the underlying strength of a market by analyzing the difference between the number of advancing and declining stocks. The oscillator is typically calculated using exponential moving averages (EMAs) of the A-D line, with the idea being that crossovers of these EMAs indicate potential changes in the market’s direction.
The integration of A-D volume into this model adds another layer of analysis, as volume is often considered a leading indicator of price movement. By factoring in volume, the strategy becomes more sensitive to not just the number of advancing or declining stocks but also how significant those movements are based on trading volume, as discussed in Schwager, J. D. (1999). Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. This enhanced version aims to capture stronger and more sustainable trends in the market, helping to filter out false signals.
Additionally, volume analysis is often used to confirm price movements, as described in Wyckoff, R. (1931). The Day Trading System. Therefore, incorporating the volume of advancing and declining stocks in the McClellan Oscillator offers a more robust signal for trading decisions.
Z-Strike RecoveryThis strategy utilizes the Z-Score of daily changes in the VIX (Volatility Index) to identify moments of extreme market panic and initiate long entries. Scientific research highlights that extreme volatility levels often signal oversold markets, providing opportunities for mean-reversion strategies.
How the Strategy Works
Calculation of Daily VIX Changes:
The difference between today’s and yesterday’s VIX closing prices is calculated.
Z-Score Calculation:
The Z-Score quantifies how far the current change deviates from the mean (average), expressed in standard deviations:
Z-Score=(Daily VIX Change)−MeanStandard Deviation
Z-Score=Standard Deviation(Daily VIX Change)−Mean
The mean and standard deviation are computed over a rolling period of 16 days (default).
Entry Condition:
A long entry is triggered when the Z-Score exceeds a threshold of 1.3 (adjustable).
A high positive Z-Score indicates a strong overreaction in the market (panic).
Exit Condition:
The position is closed after 10 periods (days), regardless of market behavior.
Visualizations:
The Z-Score is plotted to make extreme values visible.
Horizontal threshold lines mark entry signals.
Bars with entry signals are highlighted with a blue background.
This strategy is particularly suitable for mean-reverting markets, such as the S&P 500.
Scientific Background
Volatility and Market Behavior:
Studies like Whaley (2000) demonstrate that the VIX, known as the "fear gauge," is highly correlated with market panic phases. A spike in the VIX is often interpreted as an oversold signal due to excessive hedging by investors.
Source: Whaley, R. E. (2000). The investor fear gauge. Journal of Portfolio Management, 26(3), 12-17.
Z-Score in Financial Strategies:
The Z-Score is a proven method for detecting statistical outliers and is widely used in mean-reversion strategies.
Source: Chan, E. (2009). Quantitative Trading. Wiley Finance.
Mean-Reversion Approach:
The strategy builds on the mean-reversion principle, which assumes that extreme market movements tend to revert to the mean over time.

three Supertrend EMA Strategy by Prasanna +DhanuThe indicator described in your Pine Script is a Supertrend EMA Strategy that combines the Supertrend and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to create a trend-following strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how this indicator works:
1. EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
The EMA is a moving average that places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to price changes compared to a simple moving average (SMA). In this strategy, the EMA is used to determine the overall trend direction.
Input Parameter:
ema_length: This is the period for the EMA, set to 50 periods by default. A shorter EMA will respond more quickly to price movements, while a longer EMA is smoother and less sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
How it's used:
If the price is above the EMA, it indicates an uptrend.
If the price is below the EMA, it indicates a downtrend.
2. Supertrend Indicator:
The Supertrend indicator is a trend-following tool based on the Average True Range (ATR), which is a volatility measure. It helps to identify the direction of the trend by setting a dynamic support or resistance level.
Input Parameters:
supertrend_atr_period: The period used for calculating the ATR, set to 10 periods by default.
supertrend_multiplier1: Multiplier for the first Supertrend, set to 3.0.
supertrend_multiplier2: Multiplier for the second Supertrend, set to 2.0.
supertrend_multiplier3: Multiplier for the third Supertrend, set to 1.0.
Each Supertrend line has a different multiplier, which affects its sensitivity to price changes. The ATR period defines how many periods of price data are used to calculate the ATR.
How the Supertrend works:
If the Supertrend value is below the price, the trend is considered bullish (uptrend).
If the Supertrend value is above the price, the trend is considered bearish (downtrend).
The Supertrend will switch between up and down based on price movement and ATR, providing a dynamic trend-following signal.
3. Three Supertrend Lines:
In this strategy, three Supertrend lines are calculated with different multipliers and the same ATR period (10 periods). Each line is more or less sensitive to price changes, and they are plotted on the chart in different colors based on whether the trend is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Supertrend 1: The most sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 3.0.
Supertrend 2: A moderately sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 2.0.
Supertrend 3: The least sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 1.0.
Each Supertrend line signals a bullish trend when its value is below the price and a bearish trend when its value is above the price.
4. Strategy Rules:
This strategy uses the three Supertrend lines combined with the EMA to generate trade signals.
Entry Conditions:
A long entry is triggered when all three Supertrend lines are in an uptrend (i.e., all three Supertrend lines are below the price), and the price is above the EMA. This suggests a strong bullish market condition.
A short entry is triggered when all three Supertrend lines are in a downtrend (i.e., all three Supertrend lines are above the price), and the price is below the EMA. This suggests a strong bearish market condition.
Exit Conditions:
A long exit occurs when the third Supertrend (the least sensitive one) switches to a downtrend (i.e., the price falls below it).
A short exit occurs when the third Supertrend switches to an uptrend (i.e., the price rises above it).
5. Visualization:
The strategy also plots the following on the chart:
The EMA is plotted as a blue line, which helps identify the overall trend.
The three Supertrend lines are plotted with different colors:
Supertrend 1: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Supertrend 2: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Supertrend 3: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Summary of the Strategy:
The strategy combines three Supertrend indicators (with different multipliers) and an EMA to capture both short-term and long-term trends.
Long positions are entered when all three Supertrend lines are bullish and the price is above the EMA.
Short positions are entered when all three Supertrend lines are bearish and the price is below the EMA.
Exits occur when the third Supertrend line (the least sensitive) signals a change in trend direction.
This combination of indicators allows for a robust trend-following strategy that adapts to both short-term volatility and long-term trend direction. The Supertrend lines provide quick reaction to price changes, while the EMA offers a smoother, more stable trend direction for confirmation.

Supertrend 1: The most sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 3.0.
Supertrend 2: A moderately sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 2.0.
Supertrend 3: The least sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 1.0.
Each Supertrend line signals a bullish trend when its value is below the price and a bearish trend when its value is above the price.
4. Strategy Rules:
This strategy uses the three Supertrend lines combined with the EMA to generate trade signals.
Entry Conditions:
A long entry is triggered when all three Supertrend lines are in an uptrend (i.e., all three Supertrend lines are below the price), and the price is above the EMA. This suggests a strong bullish market condition.
A short entry is triggered when all three Supertrend lines are in a downtrend (i.e., all three Supertrend lines are above the price), and the price is below the EMA. This suggests a strong bearish market condition.
Exit Conditions:
A long exit occurs when the third Supertrend (the least sensitive one) switches to a downtrend (i.e., the price falls below it).
A short exit occurs when the third Supertrend switches to an uptrend (i.e., the price rises above it).
5. Visualization:
The strategy also plots the following on the chart:
The EMA is plotted as a blue line, which helps identify the overall trend.
The three Supertrend lines are plotted with different colors:
Supertrend 1: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Supertrend 2: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Supertrend 3: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Summary of the Strategy:
The strategy combines three Supertrend indicators (with different multipliers) and an EMA to capture both short-term and long-term trends.
Long positions are entered when all three Supertrend lines are bullish and the price is above the EMA.
Short positions are entered when all three Supertrend lines are bearish and the price is below the EMA.
Exits occur when the third Supertrend line (the least sensitive) signals a change in trend direction.
This combination of indicators allows for a robust trend-following strategy that adapts to both short-term volatility and long-term trend direction. The Supertrend lines provide quick reaction to price changes, while the EMA offers a smoother, more stable trend direction for confirmation.
