SMPivot Gaussian Trend Strategy [Js.K]This open-source strategy combines a Gaussian-weighted moving average with “Smart Money” swing-pivot breaks (BoS = Break-of-Structure) to capture trend continuations and early reversals. It is intended for educational and research purposes only and must not be interpreted as financial advice.
How the logic works
-------------------
1. Gaussian Moving Average (GMA)
• A custom Gaussian kernel (length = 30 by default) smooths price while preserving turning points.
• A second pass (“Smoothed GMA”) further filters noise; only its direction is used for bias.
2. Swing-Pivot detection
• High/Low pivots are found with a symmetric look-back/forward window (Pivot Length = 20).
• The most recent confirmed pivot creates a dynamic structure level (UpdatedHigh / UpdatedLow).
3. Entry rules
Long
• Price closes above the most recent pivot high **and** above Smoothed GMA.
Short
• Price closes below the most recent pivot low **and** below Smoothed GMA.
4. Exit rules
• Fixed stop-loss and take-profit in percent of current price (user-defined).
• Separate parameters and on/off switches for longs and shorts.
5. Visuals
• GMA (dots) and Smoothed GMA (line).
• Structure break lines plus “BoS PH/PL” labels at the midpoint between pivot and break.
Inputs
------
Gaussian
• Gaussian Length (default 30) – smoothing window.
• Gaussian Scatterplot – toggle GMA dots.
Smart-Money Pivot
• Pivot Length (default 20).
• Bull / Bear colors.
Risk settings
• Long / Short enable.
• Individual SL % and TP % (default 1 % SL, 30 % TP).
• Strategy uses percent-of-equity sizing; initial capital defaults to 10 000 USD.
Adjust these to reflect your own account size, realistic commission and slippage.
Best practice & compliance notes
--------------------------------
• Test on a data sample that yields ≥ 100 trades to obtain statistically relevant results.
• Keep risk per trade below 5–10 % of equity; the default values comply with this guideline.
• Explain any custom settings you publish that differ from the defaults.
• Do **not** remove the code header or licence notice (MPL-2.0).
• Include realistic commission and slippage in your back-test before publishing.
• The script does **not** repaint; orders are processed on bar close.
Usage
-----
1. Add the script to any symbol / timeframe; intraday and swing timeframes both work—adjust lengths accordingly.
2. Configure SL/TP and position size to match your personal risk management.
3. Run “List of trades” and the performance summary to evaluate expectancy; forward-test before live use.

Key Level Reversal Straregy Bot📌 Strategy Description: Pivot Point Reversal with EMA Confirmation and Realistic Backtesting
This strategy combines Pivot Point Reversal principles with EMA crossover logic and real-world backtesting enhancements to identify high-probability bounce trades at key market levels. It is designed primarily for short-term trading, such as intraday setups, where price reacts to Pivot Points, confirming its direction using exponential moving averages (EMAs) and incorporating execution realism tools to simulate live trading conditions more accurately.
🔍 Strategy Logic
1. Pivot Point Reversal Framework:
Trades are triggered around the daily Pivot Point (PP) and key support/resistance levels (S1/S2 and R1/R2).
Long trades are favored when price is above PP and retests it from above.
Short trades are favored when price is below PP and retests it from below.
Take profit levels target the next support or resistance zone in the trend direction.
Stop loss levels are placed beyond S1 or R1 for risk containment and market noise tolerance.
2. EMA Trend Confirmation:
Uses 13 EMA, 25 EMA, and 33 EMA to validate short-term trend direction.
A long bias is confirmed when 13 EMA is above 33 EMA.
A short bias is confirmed when 13 EMA is below 33 EMA.
3. Realistic Execution Features:
calc_on_every_tick=true and Bar Magnifier allow intrabar simulation.
ATR-based exit buffers prevent premature stop-outs from volatile price spikes.
Trailing stops protect profits once a trade moves in favor.
Slippage (1 tick) and commission (0.5%) simulate real broker costs.
Simulated latency and minimum fill distance replicate live market friction.
Daily loss circuit breaker disables trading after significant drawdowns.
Trade timeout mechanism closes trades that stay open beyond a defined time limit.
🧠 Key Takeaways
Bounce trades off Pivot Point levels are supported by EMA crossover signals, improving entry timing.
Stop-loss and take-profit levels are intelligently positioned based on market structure (R1/S1, R2/S2).
Backtest realism controls such as latency, slippage, commissions, and timeout logic ensure results are not overly optimistic.
The strategy is intended for manual confirmation or signal generation, not for blind automation—always validate alerts vs. live chart behavior.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This strategy is a paper trading tool and should be validated with live market testing. It is not financial advice. Always backtest thoroughly, assess risk, and confirm signals with broader market context before executing real trades.

Trendline Break + Retest + Fibonacci Filter🔍 How It Works
Repainting Trendlines
Draws dynamic trendlines from the most recent swing highs and swing lows.
These trendlines adjust in real time (repainting) as new pivots appear.
Breakout Detection
Identifies when price breaks above resistance or below support.
Retest Confirmation
Waits for price to pull back to the broken trendline (within a defined tolerance).
Fibonacci Confluence
Only enters a trade if the retest also lands within a Fibonacci retracement zone (default: 38.2% to 61.8%).
This improves setup quality by requiring price to retrace to a known level of interest.
🎯 Trade Conditions
Setup Requirements
Long Break above resistance → retest → price inside 38–61% Fib pullback zone
Short Break below support → retest → price inside 38–61% Fib pullback zone
Trades are entered at market once all conditions are met, with:
Configurable Take Profit and Stop Loss based on % distance
Fully displayed entry points on the chart (Buy/Sell labels)
⚙️ Custom Settings
Swing Length: Defines how far back to look for swing highs/lows.
Retest Tolerance: How close price must come to trendline after breakout.
Fibonacci Min/Max: Range of acceptable Fib retracement zone (e.g., 0.382 to 0.618).
Stop Loss / Take Profit: Simple R/R configuration.
📈 Best For:
Intraday traders on 5m/15m charts

Smart Money Pivot Strategy [Jason Kasei]This strategy is designed to identify key pivot points (Pivot High and Pivot Low) in the market and leverage the "Smart Money" concept to capture price breakout opportunities. It supports both long and short trades, offering customizable stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) settings, while visually plotting pivot points and breakout signals on the chart.
Core Features
Pivot Point Detection:
Utilizes ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to detect the highest (Pivot High) and lowest (Pivot Low) points within a specified period (default: 20 bars).
Trading Signals:
Long Signal: Triggered when the price breaks above a previous Pivot High, indicating a potential uptrend.
Short Signal: Triggered when the price breaks below a previous Pivot Low, indicating a potential downtrend.
How It Works
Detects Pivot High (PH) and Pivot Low (PL) over the specified period and records their price and time.
Triggers a long entry when the price breaks above a Pivot High and a short entry when it falls below a Pivot Low.
Sets exit conditions automatically based on predefined SL and TP percentages after entry.
Plots breakout points and levels on the chart for analysis.
Considerations
The strategy relies on accurate pivot point detection; adjust the period parameter based on market volatility.
In highly volatile markets, consider widening the stop loss to avoid frequent triggering.
Combine with other indicators or analysis methods to validate signals and avoid blind trading.
PVSRA v5Overview of the PVSRA Strategy
This strategy is designed to detect and capitalize on volume-driven threshold breaches in price candles. It operates on the premise that when a high-volume candle breaks a critical price threshold, not all orders are filled within that candle’s range. This creates an imbalance—similar to a physical system being perturbed—causing the price to revert toward the level where the breach occurred to “absorb” the residual orders.
Key Features and Their Theoretical Underpinnings
Dynamic Volume Analysis and Threshold Detection
Volume Surges as Market Perturbations:
The script computes a moving average of volume over a short window and flags moments when the current volume significantly exceeds this average. These surges act as a perturbation—injecting “energy” into the market.
Adaptive Abnormal Volume Threshold:
By calculating a dynamic abnormal threshold using a daily volume average (via an 89-period VWMA) and standard deviation, the strategy identifies when the current volume is abnormally high. This mechanism mirrors the idea that when a system is disturbed (here, by a volume surge), it naturally seeks to return to equilibrium.
Candle Coloring and Visual Signal Identification
Differentiation of Candle Types:
The script distinguishes between bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles. It applies different colors based on the strength of the volume signal, providing a clear, visual representation of whether a candle is likely to trigger a price reversion.
Implication of Unfilled Orders:
A red (bearish) candle with high volume implies that sell pressure has pushed the price past a critical threshold—yet not all buy orders have been fulfilled. Conversely, a green (bullish) candle indicates that aggressive buying has left pending sell orders. In both cases, the market is expected to reverse toward the breach point to restore balance.
Trade Execution Logic: Normal and Reversal Trades
Normal Trades:
When a high-volume candle breaches a threshold and meets the directional conditions (e.g., a red candle paired with price above a daily upper band), the strategy enters a trade anticipating a reversion. The underlying idea is that the market will move back to the level where the threshold was crossed—clearing the residual orders in a manner analogous to a system following the path of least resistance.
Reversal Trades:
The strategy also monitors for clusters of consecutive signals within a short lookback period. When multiple signals accumulate, it interprets this as the market having overextended and, in a corrective move, reverses the typical trade direction. This inversion captures the market’s natural tendency to “correct” itself by moving in discrete, quantized steps—each step representing the absorption of a minimum quantum of order imbalance.
Risk and Trade Management
Stop Loss and Take Profit Buffers:
Both normal and reversal trades include predetermined buffers for stop loss and take profit levels. This systematic risk management approach is designed to capture the anticipated reversion while minimizing potential losses, aligning with the idea that market corrections follow the most energy-efficient path back to equilibrium.
Symbol Flexibility:
An option to override the chart’s symbol allows the strategy to be applied consistently across different markets, ensuring that the volume and price dynamics are analyzed uniformly.
Conceptual Bridge: From Market Dynamics to Trade Execution
At its core, the strategy treats market price movements much like a physical system that seeks to minimize “transactional energy” or inefficiency. When a price candle breaches a key threshold on high volume, it mimics an injection of energy into the system. The subsequent price reversion is the market’s natural response—moving in the most efficient path back to balance. This perspective is akin to the principle of least action, where the system evolves along the trajectory that minimizes cumulative imbalance, and it acknowledges that these corrections occur in discrete steps reflective of quantized order execution.
This unified framework allows the PVSRA strategy to not only identify when significant volume-based threshold breaches occur but also to systematically execute trades that benefit from the expected corrective moves.
Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy [LuxAlgo X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Rally Base Drop (RBD) SND Pivots indicator developed by LuxAlgo. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to LuxAlgo.
The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy is a non-repainting supply and demand trading system that detects pivot points based on Rally, Base, and Drop (RBD) candles. This strategy automatically identifies key market structure levels, allowing traders to:
Identify pivot-based supply and demand (SND) zones.
Use fixed criteria for trend continuation or reversals.
Filter out market noise by requiring structured price formations.
Enter trades based on breakouts of key SND pivot levels.
How the Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy Works
1. Pivot Point Detection Using RBD Candles
The strategy follows a rigid market structure methodology, where pivots are detected only when:
A Rally (R) consists of multiple consecutive bullish candles.
A Drop (D) consists of multiple consecutive bearish candles.
A Base (B) is identified as a transition between Rallies and Drops, acting as a pivot point.
The pivot level is confirmed when the formation is complete.
Unlike traditional fractal-based pivots, RBD Pivots enforce stricter structural rules, ensuring that each pivot:
Has a well-defined bullish or bearish price movement.
Reduces false signals caused by single-bar fluctuations.
Provides clear supply and demand levels based on structured price movements.
These pivot levels are drawn on the chart using color-coded boxes:
Green zones represent bullish pivot levels (Rally Base formations).
Red zones represent bearish pivot levels (Drop Base formations).
Once a pivot is confirmed, the high or low of the base candle is used as the reference level for future trades.
2. Trade Entry Conditions
The strategy allows traders to select from three trading modes:
Long Only – Only takes long trades when bullish pivot breakouts occur.
Short Only – Only takes short trades when bearish pivot breakouts occur.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions based on pivot breakouts.
Trade entry signals are triggered when price breaks through a confirmed pivot level:
Long Entry:
A bullish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks above the bullish pivot level.
The strategy enters a long position.
Short Entry:
A bearish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks below the bearish pivot level.
The strategy enters a short position.
The strategy includes an optional mode to reverse long and short conditions, allowing traders to experiment with contrarian entries.
3. Exit Conditions Using ATR-Based Risk Management
This strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels:
Stop-Loss (SL): Placed 1 ATR below entry for long trades and 1 ATR above entry for short trades.
Take-Profit (TP): Set using a Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) multiplier (default = 6x ATR).
When a trade is opened:
The entry price is recorded.
ATR is calculated at the time of entry to determine stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Trades exit automatically when either SL or TP is reached.
If reverse conditions mode is enabled, stop-loss and take-profit placements are flipped.
Visualization & Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels
1. Pivot Boxes for Market Structure
Each pivot is marked with a colored box:
Green boxes indicate bullish demand zones.
Red boxes indicate bearish supply zones.
These boxes remain on the chart to act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify key price reaction zones.
2. Horizontal Entry, Stop-Loss, and Take-Profit Lines
When a trade is active, the strategy plots:
White line → Entry price.
Red line → Stop-loss level.
Green line → Take-profit level.
Labels display the exact entry, SL, and TP values, updating dynamically as price moves.
Customization Options
This strategy offers multiple adjustable settings to optimize performance for different market conditions:
Trade Mode Selection → Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Pivot Length → Defines the number of required Rally & Drop candles for a pivot.
ATR Exit Multiplier → Adjusts stop-loss distance based on ATR.
Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) → Modifies take-profit level relative to risk.
Historical Lookback → Limits how far back pivot zones are displayed.
Color Settings → Customize pivot box colors for bullish and bearish setups.
Considerations & Limitations
Pivot Breakouts Do Not Guarantee Reversals. Some pivot breaks may lead to continuation moves instead of trend reversals.
Not Optimized for Low Volatility Conditions. This strategy works best in trending markets with strong momentum.
ATR-Based Stop-Loss & Take-Profit May Require Optimization. Different assets may require different ATR multipliers and RR settings.
Market Noise May Still Influence Pivots. While this method filters some noise, fake breakouts can still occur.

Trend Vanguard StrategyHow to Use:
Trend Vanguard Strategy is a multi-feature Pine Script strategy designed to identify market pivots, draw dynamic support/resistance, and generate trade signals via ZigZag breakouts. Here’s how it works and how to use it:
ZigZag Detection & Pivot Points
The script locates significant swing highs and lows using configurable Depth, Deviation, and Backstep values.
It then connects these pivots with lines (ZigZag) to highlight directional changes and prints labels (“Buy,” “Sell,” etc.) at key turning points.
Support & Resistance Trendlines
Pivot highs and lows are used to draw dashed S/R lines in real-time.
When price crosses these lines, the script triggers a breakout signal (long or short).
EMA Overlays
Up to four EMAs (with customizable lengths and colors) can be overlaid on the chart for added trend confirmation.
Enable/disable each EMA independently via the settings.
Repaint Option
Turning on “Smooth Indicator Lines” (repaint) uses future data to refine past pivots.
This can make historical signals look cleaner but does not reflect true historical conditions.
Turning it off ensures signals remain fixed once they appear.
Strategy Entries & Exits
On each new ZigZag “Buy” or “Sell” signal, the script closes any open position and flips to the opposite side (if desired).
Works with the built-in TradingView Strategy engine for backtesting.
Additional Inputs (Placeholders)
Volume Filter and RSI Filter settings exist but are not fully implemented in the current code. Future versions may incorporate these filters more directly.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Click “Indicators” → “Invite-Only Scripts” (or “My Scripts”) and select “Trend Vanguard Strategy.”
Configure Settings:
Adjust ZigZag Depth, Deviation, and Backstep to fine-tune pivot sensitivity.
Enable or disable each EMA to see how it aligns with market trends.
Toggle “Smooth Indicator Lines” on or off depending on whether you want repainting.
Backtest and Forward Test:
Use TradingView’s “Strategy Tester” tab to review hypothetical performance.
Remember that repainting can alter past signals if enabled.
Monitor Live:
Watch for breakout triangles or ZigZag labels to identify potential reversal or breakout trades in real time.
Disclaimer: This script is purely educational and not financial advice. Always combine it with sound risk management and thorough analysis. Enjoy exploring the script, and feel free to experiment with the different settings to match your trading style!

Dynamic Support and Resistance Pivot Strategy The Dynamic Support and Resistance Pivot Strategy is a flexible and adaptive tool designed to identify short-term support and resistance levels using the concept of price pivots.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Pivot points as support and resistance levels
Pivots are significant turning points on the price chart, often marking local highs and lows where the price has reversed direction. A pivot high occurs when the price forms a local peak, while a pivot low occurs when the price forms a local trough. When a new pivot high is formed, it creates a resistance level. Conversely, when a new pivot low is formed, it creates a support level.
The strategy continuously updates these levels as new pivots are detected, ensuring they remain relevant to the current market conditions. By identifying these price levels, the strategy dynamically adjusts to market conditions, allowing it to adapt to both trending and ranging markets, since it has a long target and can perform reversal operations.
2. Entry Criteria
- Buy (Long): A long position is triggered when the price is near the support level and then crosses it from below to above. This suggests that the price has found support and may start moving upwards.
- Sell (Short): A short position is triggered when the price is near the resistance level and then crosses it from above to below. This indicates that the price may be reversing and moving downward.
3. Support/Resistance distance (%)
- This parameter establishes a percentage range around the identified support and resistance level. For example, if the Support Resistance Distance is 0.4% (default), the closing price must be within a range of 0.4% above support or below the resistance to be considered "close" and trigger a trade.
4. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 27 %
- Stop loss = 10 %
- Reversal if a new entry point is identified in the opposite direction
5. No Repainting
- The Dynamic Support and Resistance Pivot Strategy is not subject to repainting.
6. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 10% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 10% of 35% of equity, that is, around 3.5% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
7. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.
8. Chart Visualization
- Support and resistance levels are displayed as green (support) and red (resistance) lines.
- Pivot prices are displayed as green (pivot low) and red (pivot high) labels.
In this image above, the Support/Resistance distance (%) parameter was set to 0.8.

Strategy Impulse Pivot EU - [AstroHub]The strategy is built on analyzing market impulses and their intensity. Its main goal is to help traders identify critical market moments when significant changes occur, signaling either a trend continuation or reversal.
Core Methodology
Impulse Movement
Measured by the difference between the current price and the previous bar’s price.
The indicator filters out minor fluctuations, focusing on meaningful changes.
Color Interpretation
Candles are color-coded based on the strength and direction of the impulse, providing a quick graphical understanding:
Green candles: Indicate moderate price growth, potentially signaling the end of the current trend.
Red candles: Reflect moderate price decline, possibly indicating a trend reversal.
Orange candles: Highlight strong price movements in either direction, signaling a potential trend continuation or reversal.
When a Signal Appears
Impulse Threshold : The price must change by at least a specified number of pips (e.g., 30 pips). This filters out weak movements.
Movement Intensity : Impulse is calculated and compared against threshold values to determine the signal’s strength.
Time Filter : Signals are generated 10 seconds before the hourly bar closes (at 59 minutes and 50 seconds). This ensures traders can prepare to act promptly.
Interpreting the Signals
Green Candle
Moderate price growth: A possible moment to take profit on long positions or open short positions.
Red Candle
Moderate price decline: A potential signal to open long positions or close short positions.
Orange Candle
Strong impulse movement:
If the price rises: A likely continuation of an upward trend.
If the price falls: A probable intensification of the downward trend.
I recommend using it on currency pairs with a 1-hour and 4-hour chart. EUR/USD, AUD/USD
Indicator Features
Impulse Analysis : The indicator highlights only significant price changes, ignoring market "noise."
Color Interpretation : Every movement is color-coded, simplifying the visualization of market dynamics.
Time Filter : Signals appear at critical moments — right before the hour closes. This enhances reliability and gives traders time to react.
Opening Levels : The indicator automatically marks opening levels for significant signals on the chart, helping traders visualize entry and exit zones.
Closed Code : The unique logic is protected, preventing unauthorized copying
Conclusion
This indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing impulse movements and their impact on the market. Its logic is straightforward, and its visualization makes signals easy to interpret. Suitable for both beginners and experienced traders, it offers clear entry and exit points with minimal false signal
Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy [LV]The Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy was developed as a counter-momentum trading tool.
The strategy is suitable for any market and the default values used in the input settings menu are set for Bitcoin (best on 15min). These values, expressed in minimum ticks (or pips if symbol is Forex) make this tool perfectly adaptable to every symbol and/or timeframe.
Check tooltips in the settings menu for more details about every user input.
STRTEGY ENTRY & EXIT MECHANISMS:
Trades Entry based on the detection of swing highs and lows for short and long entries respectively, validated by:
- Limit orders placed after each new pivot level confirmation
- Moving averages trend filter (if enabled)
- No active trade currently open
Trades Exit when the price reaches take-profit or stop-loss level as defined in the settings menu. A double entry/second take-profit level can be enabled for partial exits, with dynamic stop-loss adjustment for the remaining position.
Enhanced Trade Precision:
By limiting entries to confirmed swing high (HH, LH) or swing low (HL, LL) pivot points, the strategy ensures that trades occur at levels of significant price reversals. This precision reduces the likelihood of entering trades in the midst of a trend or during uncertain price action.
Risk Management Optimization:
The strategy incorporates clearly defined stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels derived from the pivot points. This structured approach minimizes potential losses while locking in profits, which is critical for consistent performance in volatile markets.
Trend Filtering for Better Entry:
The use of a configurable moving average filter adds a layer of trend validation. This prevents entering trades against the dominant market trend, increasing the probability of success for each trade.
Avoidance of Noise:
The lookback period (length parameter) confirms pivots only after a set number of bars, effectively filtering out market noise and ensuring that entries are based on reliable, well-defined price movements.
Adaptability Across Markets:
The strategy is versatile and can be applied across different markets (Forex, stocks, crypto) due to its dynamic use of ticks and pips converters. It adapts seamlessly to varying price scales and asset types.
Dual Quantity Entries:
The original and optionnal double-entry mechanism allows traders to capture both short-term and extended profits by scaling out of positions. This adaptive approach caters to varying risk appetites and market conditions.
Clear Visualization:
The plotted pivot points, entry limits, SL, and TP levels provide visual clarity, making it easy for traders to track the strategy's behavior and make informed decisions.
Automated Execution with Alerts:
Integrated alerts for both entries and exits ensure timely actions without the need for constant market monitoring, enhancing efficiency. Configurable alert messages are suitable for API use.
Any feedback, comments, or suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

Support Resistance Pivot EMA Scalp Strategy [Mauserrifle]A strategy that creates signals based on: pivots, EMA 9+20, RSI, ATR, VWAP, wicks and volume.
The strategy is developed as a helper for quick long option scalping. This strategy is primarily designed for intraday trading on the 2m SPY chart with extended hours. However, users can adapt it for use on different symbols and timeframes. These signals are meant as a helper rather than fully automated trading bots.
One of the key elements is its pivot-based calculation, driven by my integrated indicator "Support and Resistance Pivot Points/Lines ". It enables multi-timeframe pivot calculations which are used to generate the signals and offers customizability, allowing you to define rounding methods and cooldown periods to refine pivot levels. The pivots, in combination with EMA crossovers, VWAP trend, and additional filters (RSI, ATR, VWAP, wicks and volume), create an entry and exit strategy for scalping opportunities that is useful for 0/1 DTE options with an average trade time of six minutes with the default setup for SPY. Option trading should be done outside TradingView. At this moment of release there is no option trading support.
All parameters used in the strategy are tweaked based on deep backtests results and real-time behavior. Be mindful that past performance does not guarantee future results.
The strategy is designed for intermediate and advanced users who are familiar intraday option scalping techniques.
How It Works
The strategy identifies entries based on multiple conditions, including: recently above pivot, recent EMA crossovers, RSI range, candle patterns, and VWAP uptrend. It avoids trades below the VWAP lower band due to poor backtesting results in those conditions. It creates a great number of signals when it detects an uptrend, which entails: VWAP and its lower/upper band slopes are going up, and the number of next high pivot points is greater than the number of lower pivot points. This indicates that we hope it will keep going up. In historical testing, this showed favorable results. This uptrend criteria runs on 15m charts max (where up to the VWAP effectiveness is the greatest).
The strategy also checks for candle and volume patterns, identified in backtesting to improve entry levels on historic data. Which include:
A red candle after multiple green ones, hoping to jump on a trend during a small pullback
Zero lower wick
Percentage and volume is up after lower volume candles
Percentage is up and the first and second EMA slopes are going up
Percentage is up, the first EMA is higher than the second, the price low is below the second EMA and price close above it
The VWAP uptrend overrules the candle and volume conditions (thus lots of signals during those moments).
The above is the base for many signals. There is a strict mode that adds extra checks such as:
not trading when there is no next low or high pivot
requiring a VWAP uptrend only
minimum candle percentages
This mode is for analyzing history and seeing performance during these conditions. It is worth it to create a separate alert for strict mode so you are aware of these conditions during trading.
When no stop has been defined, exits will always happen on pivot crossunder confirmations. If a stop is defined (default config), the strategy exits a position when:
the position is negative or no trail has been set
at least 1 bar has past
OR no stop has been defined (overrules previous)
trail has not been activated
The second exit condition happens when the close is below first EMA(9 by default) and when:
the position has been above first EMA
the gap between close and last pivot isn't small
the position is negative or no trail has been set
OR no stop has been defined (overrules above)
trail has not been activated
There are some more variations on this but the above are the most common. These exit conditions are a safety net because the strategy heavily relies on and favors stops. The settings allow changing stops, profit takers and trails. You can configure it to always sell without the conditions above.
The script will paint the pivot lines, trailing activation/stops, EMAs and entry/exits; with extra information in the data panel. For a complete view add VWAP and RSI to your chart, which are available from TradingView official indicator library. The strategy will not rely on those added indicators since VWAP and RSI are programmed in. You can add them to track the behavior of the signals based on these filters you have configured and have a complete view trading this strategy.
As mentioned earlier, the default settings are built for SPY 2m charts, with extended hours and real-time data. Open the strategy on this chart to study how all input parameters are used. If you don't have real-time data you need to adjust the minimum volume settings (set it to 0 at first).
The backtest
The default backtest configuration is set up to simulate SPY option trading.
Start capital is set to 10,000 and we risk around 5% of that per trade (1 contract)
Commission is set to 0.005%. The reason: at the time of this publication the SPY index price is approximately $580. Two ITM 0/1 DTE options contracts, each priced around $280, which is approximately $560. The typical commission for such a trade is around $3. To simulate this commission in the backtest on the SPY index itself, a commission of 0.005% per trade has been applied, approximating the options trading costs.
Slippage of 3 is set reflecting liquid SPY
The bar magnifier feature is turned on to have more realistic fills
Trading
In backtesting, setting commission and slippage to 0 on the SPY 2m chart shows many trades result around breaking even. Personally, I view them as an opportunity and safety net to help manage emotional decisions for exits. The signals are designed for short option scalps, allowing traders to take small profits and potentially re-enter during the strategy’s position window. It's advisable to take small potential profits, such as 4%, whenever the opportunity arises and consider re-entering if the setup still looks favorable, for example price still above ema9. Exiting a long position below ema9 is a common strategy for 2m scalping.
The average trade duration is approximately 6 minutes (3 bars). The choice between ITM (in-the-money), ATM (at-the-money), or OTM (out-of-the-money) options will depend on your trading style. Personally, I’ve seen better results with ITM options because they tend to move more in sync with the underlying index, thanks to their higher delta.
It’s important to note that the signals are designed to be a helper for manual trading rather than to automate a bot. Users are encouraged to take small profits and re-enter positions if favorable conditions persist. Be mindful that past performance does not guarantee future results.
For the default SPY setup the losses will mostly be 4-10% for ITM options. Be mindful of extreme volatile conditions where losses may reach 30% quickly, especially when trading ATM/OTM options.
The following settings can be changed:
8 pivot timeframes with left/right bars and days rendered
Here you can configure the timeframes for the pivots, which are crucial. The strategy wants that a crossover has happened recently (so it might enter after a crossunder if the crossover was recent) or the price is still above the crossed pivot.
When you decide to use a pivot timeframe higher than your chart, make sure it aligns the same starting point as the chart timeframe. As stated in the 43000478429 docs, there is a dependency between the resolution and the alignment of a starting point:
1–14 minutes — aligns to the beginning of a week
15–29 minutes — aligns to the beginning of a month
from 30 minutes and higher — aligns to the beginning of a year
This alignment also affects the setting of rendered days. I recommend a max value of 5 days for 1-14 minutes timeframes.
Also make sure a higher pivot timeframe can be divided by the lower. For instance I had repaint issues using 3m pivots on a 2m chart. But 4m pivots work fine.
Please look up docs 43000478429 to make sure this information is still up to date.
Pivot rounding
The pivot rounding option is used to add pivots based on a rounded price and limit the number of pivots. While this feature is disabled by default it can be useful with tweaking strategy variations, because many orders are placed at rounded levels and tend to act as strong price barriers.
There are multiple rounding methods: round, ceil/floor, roundn (decimal) and rounding to the minimal tick.
The next feature is a powerful extension called "Cooldown rounding":
Pivot cooldown rounding
This rounds new pivot levels for a cooldown period to keep the previous pivot line instead of adding a new line when they match the rounded value within the cooldown period. The existing line will be extended. This feature is useful because it makes sure the initial line is added to the exact high/low pivot level but any future lines within the rounding will just extend the existing line. This limits the number of pivots while still having precise levels (which normal rounding lacks) and allows more precise pivot trading.
This feature also helps ensure that the number of rendered lines will not exceed 500 too much, which is the render limit on TradingView.
You can set a maximum minutes for the cooldown. The default is 3 years which will enable the cooldown rounding permanently on the intraday (due to the max bar limit).
Pivot always added when new higher/lower pivot
When using cooldown rounding, one may find it useful to override this behavior when a new lower or higher pivot level has been reached. When enabled the new level will be added despite the fact that they may be rounded the same in the cooldown check. This is a good balance between limiting pivots but also allowing preciser trading.
VWAP bands multiplier
This is used to tweak the inner VWAP working for the upper and lower band. The default VWAP multiplier (0.9) is set based on backtesting since it performed better on historic data (the strategy does not trade below the lowerband). When you add the VWAP indicator from the TradingView library to the chart, make sure it uses the same multiplier setting as within this strategy so you have a correct view of the conditions the strategy acts on.
ATR EMA smoothing length
Used to tweak the ATR EMA smoothing. By default it is set up to 4 based on deep backtesting historic data.
EMA lengths
Changing the EMA length allows you to fine tune the EMA crossing behavior. By default the strategy is set up to EMA 9 and 20 which are considered commonly used values on the 2-minute chart.
Trading intraday time restrictions
For intraday charts you can configure when the strategy starts trading after market open and when it stops, including a hard sell. This makes sure there are no open positions left for the day during backtesting and can also aid in your trading style. For example some scalpers will not trade in the first two hours. Having no signals during this time can be beneficial. It is possible to configure these settings based on the number of bars or minutes.
Not trading on days the market closes earlier
By default the strategy does not trade on days the market closes earlier in the US. This makes sure there are no open positions left open during backtesting. Make sure to change it when using it on such a day. The days are: day before independence day, day after thanksgiving, Christmas eve and new years eve.
Not trading below VWAP lowerband
Backtesting has shown poor performance when trading below the VWAP lowerband but you are free to allow it to trade in such conditions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Minimum volume
A minimum volume can be set up. The current value is based on better deep backtest results for SPY using real-time data (48000). When you do not have a data plan for SPY, please set it to 0 and tweak based on backtests.
Minimum ATRP
The strategy has shown during my trading that it is sensitive to higher ATRP values and more volatile market conditions. There is more chance the index moves and we can profit from this during option scalping (if it moves in your favor). The default is based on SPY backtesting (0.04%), as a balance to have a lot of trades but also capture minimal movement.
RSI range
A RSI range can be set using a minimum and maximum value so we can limit trading during overbought/oversold conditions. Backtesting for SPY has shown the strategy performs better on historic data within a tighter range, so a default range has been set to 40-65.
Allow orders on every tick (no effect on stop/profit/trail)
This setting is used to allow orders on every tick. The strategy has been developed without trading on every tick but you can change this, for example when you have configured a setup different than the default configuration that you know works well with this. The default setup will not work well with it due to too many constant signals.
Stop percentage + ATRP threshold
One of the most important settings for managing the risk. I recommend setting a stop percentage first and later the ATRP threshold where the stop is calculated based on the current ATRP value. The calculated value will only be in effect when it is greater than the normal stop--the normal stop acts as baseline. The default stop is low (0.03). With a default ATRP threshold stop of 1.12, the calculated value overrules the normal stop when the value is greater. 0.03 acts as a minimum value but in reality the stop will most likely be higher on average for SPY with the default ATRP threshold.
For the default SPY setup the losses will be around 4-10% for ITM options. Be mindful of extreme volatile conditions where losses may reach 30% quickly, especially when trading ATM/OTM options.
Profit taker percentage + ATRP threshold
Same principles as the stop percentage above, but for profit taking. There is a very high ATRP threshold of 4 set by default. Backtests showed that trailing stops perform better on historic data.
Trailing stop
Used to set up a trailing stop. A useful feature to secure profit after a run-up, or get out with a small loss after initial activation. It is important to not use too tight values because they will give unrealistic backtest results and trigger too fast in real-time. Both the trail activation level and trail stop itself can be configured with a percentage value and ATRP value. I recommend setting up the ATRP last. By default the values are 0.05 for activation and 0.03 for the stop based on SPY real-time behavior.
Always sell on pivot crossunder confirmation
The strategy includes pivot crossunder confirmations as sell condition. By default it will not sell on every crossunder confirmation but checks for different conditions (explained in detail earlier in this description). You can change this behavior.
Always sell below first EMA when position has been above
The strategy sells below the first EMA when the position has been above it. By default it will not always sell but checks for different conditions (mentioned earlier in this description). You can change this behavior.
Buy modes pivot
By default the strategy buys between pivots as long as there has been a pivot crossover and EMAs crossover recently or price is still above it. You can change the behavior so it only buys on pivot crossovers or pivot crossover confirmations. Backtesting on the default setup shows decreased performance but for other strategy variations and pivot setups this feature can be useful since many scalpers do not buy between pivots.
Strict mode
There is a strict mode that adds extra checks such as not trading when there is no next low or high pivot, requiring a VWAP uptrend only and minimum candle percentages. This mode is for analyzing history and seeing performance during these conditions. It is worth it to create a separate alert for strict mode so you are aware of these conditions during trading. The deep backtests improved with these setting but past performance does not guarantee future results.
In the strict mode section you can override the stop, minimum ATRP, set up a minimum percentage, only trade VWAP uptrends and to not trade candles without a wick.
A summary and some extra detail
At the time of release only long trades are supported
The strategy is meant for quick scalping but one might find other uses for it
Enable extended hours on intraday charts so it captures more pivots
It does not trade extended hours (pre and post market) since options do not trade during those times
real-time data is recommended and required if a symbol has delayed data by default
You can configure that it trades minutes after market open and hard sells minutes after market open
The entries have a specific label text, example: "833 LE1 / 569.71 / P:569.8". This means: / / . The condition number is only for development/debug purposes for me when you have an issue.
The strategy cannot be tweaked to work on multiple symbols and timeframes with a single config. So you will have to make a config for every timeframe and symbol. I recommend using the Indicator Templates feature of TradingView. This way you can save the settings per timeframe and symbol
The strategy is per default config very dependent on (trailing) stops because it trades between pivots too. It wants that a pivot and EMA crossover has happened more recently than a crossunder. But you can change this behavior to always force crossover buys and crossunder sells.
It’s recommended to set up alerts to notify you of entry and exit signals. Watching the chart alone might cause you to miss trades, especially in fast-moving markets.
Only a max of 500 lines can be rendered on the chart, but the strategy will function with more under the hood. When you exceed 500 you will notice the beginning of the chart has no pivots, but beneath everything functions for backtesting.
Changing settings
Changing the settings for a different symbol and/or timeframe can be a challenging task. Here's a how-to you could use the first time to help you get going:
Set commission and slippage to 0. I prefer to do this so it is more clear whether you are balancing on break-even trades
Enable the pivot timeframe equal or above your chart timeframe. Avoid repainting as discussed earlier by choosing timeframes that align with the same timeframe
Set all volume, ATR, stop, profit takers and trail values to 0
Make sure strict mode is disabled at the bottom of the settings
You now have a clean state and you should see the backtest results purely based on pivot and EMA conditions
Tweak the stop and profit taker, beginning with the simple values and then ATRP threshold
At the last moment tweak the trailing stops. Tight trailing stops create an unrealistic backtest so you will need to tweak them based on real-time behavior of the symbol you're using which you will have to monitor during signals while the market is open. The default values are low (2m intraday SPY). Only with the bar magnifier feature it is somewhat possible to tweak realistic with history data. The tighter they are, the more unrealistic your backtest results. As a starting point, set the trailing stop low and find the highest activation level that doesn't change the results drastically, then increase the stop to the value you think reflects real-time behavior.
Keep refining by testing it during real-time behavior. Does it exit too early according to your own judgment? You need to increase the stop and maybe the activation level.
I hope you will find this useful!

🔶 ORIGINALITY The Central Pivot Point Cross & Retrace Strategy uniquely combines pivot point analysis with accumulation/distribution indicators to identify optimal entry and exit points. It employs dynamic position sizing based on a fixed risk amount, ensuring consistent risk management across trades. This approach allows traders to adapt to varying market conditions by adjusting position sizes according to predefined risk parameters, enhancing both flexibility and control in trading decisions. The strategy's integration of customizable stop-loss levels further refines its risk management capabilities.
🔸Pivot Point-Based Trading This strategy utilizes daily pivot points to identify key support and resistance levels, providing a framework for trend identification and trade entry. The central pivot point serves as the intraday point of balance between buyers and sellers, with the largest amount of trading volume assumed to take place in this area.
🔸Accumulation/Distribution The strategy incorporates the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line, an underrated volume-based indicator, to establish the main trend. The A/D line is used in conjunction with a trend based indicator like the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to confirm trend direction and strength.
🔸Dynamic Position Sizing Position sizes are calculated dynamically based on a fixed risk amount, allowing traders to maintain consistent risk exposure across trades.
🔸Customizable Risk Management Traders can set flexible risk-reward ratios and adjust stop-loss and take-profit levels, tailoring the strategy to their risk tolerance and market conditions. The strategy recommends taking partial profits at S1 or R1 levels and moving the stop-loss to break-even for remaining positions.
🔶 FUNCTIONALITY The Central Pivot Point Cross & Retrace Strategy leverages pivot points and accumulation/distribution indicators to identify optimal trading opportunities. This strategy is designed to capitalize on price movements around key pivot levels by dynamically adjusting position sizes based on predefined risk parameters. It allows traders to manage risk effectively while taking advantage of both long and short positions.
🔸Indicators 🞘 Pivot Points: Calculates daily pivot points (PP, R1, R2, S1, S2) to identify key support and resistance levels. The central pivot point is crucial for determining market bias and entry points.
🞘 Accumulation/Distribution: Uses the A/D line and with a trend based indicator like the 200 EMA to determine market direction and trend strength. This combination helps eliminate noise and provides more reliable trend signals. We recommend using the Adaptive MAs (Hurst, CVaR, Fractal) // AlgoFyre , but any moving average could be used.
🔸Conditions 🞘 Long Entry: Initiates a long position when the price crosses above the central pivot point (PP), retraces back to it and the A/D line is above its 200 EMA, indicating an uptrend. A limit entry order is set at the PP for entering the long trade.
🞘 Short Entry: Initiates a short position when the price crosses below the central pivot point (PP), retraces back to it and the A/D line is below its 200 EMA, indicating a downtrend. A limit entry order is set at the PP for entering the short trade.
🞘 Take Profit: 50% of the position is closed as profit when R1 for Longs and S1 for Shorts is reached. The position is fully closed when R2 for Longs and S2 for Shorts is reached.
🞘 Stop Loss: Stop loss is set via strategy settings. When the first 50% take profit for both long and shorts is taken, stop loss for both will be moved to break-even/entry.

QuantBuilder | FractalystWhat's the strategy's purpose and functionality?
QuantBuilder is designed for both traders and investors who want to utilize mathematical techniques to develop profitable strategies through backtesting on historical data.
The primary goal is to develop profitable quantitive strategies that not only outperform the underlying asset in terms of returns but also minimize drawdown.
For instance, consider Bitcoin (BTC), which has experienced significant volatility, averaging an estimated 200% annual return over the past decade, with maximum drawdowns exceeding -80%. By employing this strategy with diverse entry and exit techniques, users can potentially seek to enhance their Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) while managing risk to maintain a lower maximum drawdown.
While this strategy employs quantitative techniques, including mathematical methods such as probabilities and positive expected values, it demonstrates exceptional efficacy across all markets. It particularly excels in futures, indices, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities, leveraging their inherent trending behaviors for optimized performance.
In both trending and consolidating market conditions, QuantBuilder employs a combination of multi-timeframe probabilities, expected values, directional biases, moving averages and diverse entry models to identify and capitalize on bullish market movements.
How does the strategy perform for both investors and traders?
The strategy has two main modes, tailored for different market participants: Traders and Investors.
1. Trading:
- Designed for traders looking to capitalize on bullish markets.
- Utilizes a percentage risk per trade to manage risk and optimize returns.
- Suitable for both swing and intraday trading with a focus on probabilities and risk per trade approach.
2. Investing:
- Geared towards investors who aim to capitalize on bullish trending markets without using leverage while mitigating the asset's maximum drawdown.
- Utilizes pre-define percentage of the equity to buy, hold, and manage the asset.
- Focuses on long-term growth and capital appreciation by fully/partially investing in the asset during bullish conditions.
How does the strategy identify market structure? What are the underlying calculations?
The strategy utilizes an efficient logic with for loops to pinpoint the first swing candle featuring a pivot of 2, establishing the point at which the break of structure begins.
What entry criteria are used in this script? What are the underlying calculations?
The script utilizes two entry models: BreakOut and fractal.
Underlying Calculations:
Breakout: The script assigns the most recent swing high to a variable. When the price closes above this level and all other conditions are met, the script executes a breakout entry (conservative approach).
Fractal: The script identifies a swing low with a period of 2. Once this condition is met, the script executes the trade (aggressive approach).
How does the script calculate probabilities? What are the underlying calculations?
The script calculates probabilities by monitoring price interactions with liquidity levels. Here’s how the underlying calculations work:
Tracking Price Hits: The script counts the number of times the price taps into each liquidity side after the EQM level is activated. This data is stored in an array for further analysis.
Sample Size Consideration: The total number of price interactions serves as the sample size for calculating probabilities.
Probability Calculation: For each liquidity side, the script calculates the probability by taking the average of the recorded hits. This allows for a dynamic assessment of the likelihood that a particular side will be hit next, based on historical performance.
Dynamic Adjustment: As new price data comes in, the probabilities are recalculated, providing real-time aduptive insights into market behavior.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
How does the script calculate expected values? What are the underlying calculations?
The script calculates expected values by leveraging the probabilities of winning and losing trades, along with their respective returns. The process involves the following steps:
This quantitative methodology provides a robust framework for assessing the expected performance of trading strategies based on historical data and backtesting results.
How is the contextual bias calculated? What are the underlying calculations?
The contextual bias in the QuantBuilder script is calculated through a structured approach that assesses market structure based on swing highs and lows. Here’s how it works:
Identification of Swing Points: The script identifies significant swing points using a defined pivot logic, focusing on the first swing high and swing low. This helps establish critical levels for determining market structure.
Break of Structure (BOS) Assessment:
Bullish BOS: The script recognizes a bullish break of structure when a candle closes above the first swing high, followed by at least one swing low.
Bearish BOS: Conversely, a bearish break of structure is identified when a candle closes below the first swing low, followed by at least one swing high.
Bias Assignment: Based on the identified break of structure, the script assigns directional biases:
A bullish bias is assigned if a bullish BOS is confirmed.
A bearish bias is assigned if a bearish BOS is confirmed.
Quantitative Evaluation: Each identified bias is quantitatively evaluated, allowing the script to assign numerical values representing the strength of each bias. This quantification aids in assessing the reliability of market sentiment across multiple timeframes.
What's the purpose of using moving averages in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Using moving averages is a widely-used technique to trade with the trend.
The main purpose of using moving averages in this strategy is to filter out bearish price action and to only take trades when the price is trading ABOVE specified moving averages.
The script uses different types of moving averages with user-adjustable timeframes and periods/lengths, allowing traders to try out different variations to maximize strategy performance and minimize drawdowns.
By applying these calculations, the strategy effectively identifies bullish trends and avoids market conditions that are not conducive to profitable trades.
The MA filter allows traders to choose whether they want a specific moving average above or below another one as their entry condition.
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
- Initial Stop-loss:
1. ATR Based:
The Average True Range (ATR) is a method used in technical analysis to measure volatility. It is not used to indicate the direction of price but to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ATR, the True Range (TR) first needs to be identified. The TR takes into account the most current period high/low range as well as the previous period close.
The True Range is the largest of the following:
- Current Period High minus Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High minus Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low minus Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then calculated as the moving average of the TR over a specified period. (The default period is 14)
2. ADR Based:
The Average Day Range (ADR) is an indicator that measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ADR for a particular day:
- Calculate the average of the high prices over a specified number of days.
- Calculate the average of the low prices over the same number of days.
- Find the difference between these average values.
- The default period for calculating the ADR is 14 days. A shorter period may introduce more noise, while a longer period may be slower to react to new market movements.
3. PL Based:
This method places the stop-loss at the low of the previous candle.
If the current entry is based on the hunt entry strategy, the stop-loss will be placed at the low of the candle that wicks through the lower FRMA band.
Example:
If the previous candle's low is 100, then the stop-loss will be set at 100.
This method ensures the stop-loss is placed just below the most recent significant low, providing a logical and immediate level for risk management.
- Trailing Stop-Loss:
One of the key elements of this strategy is its ability to detect structural liquidity and structural invalidation levels across multiple timeframes to trail the stop-loss once the trade is in running profits.
By utilizing this approach, the strategy allows enough room for price to run.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop.
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance.
What type of break-even and take profit identification methods are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
For Break-Even:
Percentage (%) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain percentage above the entry.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price * (1 + Percentage / 100)
Example:
If the entry price is $100 and the break-even percentage is 5%, the break-even level is $100 * 1.05 = $105.
Risk-to-Reward (RR) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain RR ratio.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price + (Initial Risk * RR Ratio)
For TP1 (Take Profit 1):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed or 50% if the TP2 boolean is enabled.
- Similar to break-even, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP1 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP2 (Take Profit 2):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed.
- As with break-even and TP1, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP2 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
What's the day filter Filter, what does it do?
The day filter allows users to customize the session time and choose the specific days they want to include in the strategy session. This helps traders tailor their strategies to particular trading sessions or days of the week when they believe the market conditions are more favorable for their trading style.
Customize Session Time:
Users can define the start and end times for the trading session.
This allows the strategy to only consider trades within the specified time window, focusing on periods of higher market activity or preferred trading hours.
Select Days:
Users can select which days of the week to include in the strategy.
This feature is useful for excluding days with historically lower volatility or unfavorable trading conditions (e.g., Mondays or Fridays).
Benefits:
Focus on Optimal Trading Periods:
By customizing session times and days, traders can focus on periods when the market is more likely to present profitable opportunities.
Avoid Unfavorable Conditions:
Excluding specific days or times can help avoid trading during periods of low liquidity or high unpredictability, such as major news events or holidays.
What tables are available in this script?
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades and more.
Total Commission: Displays the cumulative commissions incurred from all trades executed within the selected backtesting window. This value is derived by summing the commission fees for each trade on your chart.
Average Commission: Represents the average commission per trade, calculated by dividing the Total Commission by the total number of closed trades. This metric is crucial for assessing the impact of trading costs on overall profitability.
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most mean-reversion successful strategies have a percent profitability of 40-80% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month and year.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- UI Table: A user-friendly table that allows users to view and save the selected strategy parameters from user inputs. This table enables easy access to key settings and configurations, providing a straightforward solution for saving strategy parameters by simply taking a screenshot with Alt + S or ⌥ + S.
User-input styles and customizations:
To facilitate studying historical data, all conditions and filters can be applied to your charts. By plotting background colors on your charts, you'll be able to identify what worked and what didn't in certain market conditions.
Please note that all background colors in the style are disabled by default to enhance visualization.
