Session Breakout Scalper Trading BotHi Traders !
Introduction:
I have recently been exploring the world of automated algorithmic trading (as I prefer more objective trading strategies over subjective technical analysis (TA)) and would like to share one of my automation compatible (PineConnecter compatible) scripts “Session Breakout Scalper”.
The strategy is really simple and is based on time conditional breakouts although has more ”relatively” advanced optional features such as the regime indicators (Regime Filters) that attempt to filter out noise by adding more confluence states and the ATR multiple SL that takes into account volatility to mitigate the down side risk of the trade.
What is Algorthmic Trading:
Firstly what is algorithmic trading? Algorithmic trading also known as algo-trading, is a method of using computer programs (in this case pine script) to execute trades based on predetermined rules and instructions (this trading strategy). It's like having a robot trader who follows a strict set of commands to buy and sell assets automatically, without any human intervention.
Important Note:
For Algorithmic trading the strategy will require you having an essential TV subscription at the minimum (so that you can set alerts) plus a PineConnecter subscription (scroll down to the .”How does the strategy send signals” headings to read more)
The Strategy Explained:
Is the Time input true ? (this can be changed by toggling times under the “TRADE MEDIAN TIMES” group for user inputs).
Given the above is true the strategy waits x bars after the session and then calculates the highest high (HH) to lowest low (LL) range. For this box to form, the user defined amount of bars must print after the session. The box is symmetrical meaning the HH and LL are calculated over a lookback that is equal to the sum of user defined bars before and after the session (+ 1).
The Strategy then simultaneously defines the HH as the buy level (green line) and the LL as the sell level (red line). note the strategy will set stop orders at these levels respectively.
Enter a buy if price action crosses above the HH, and then cancel the sell order type (The opposite is true for a stop order).
If the momentum based regime filters are true the strategy will check for the regime / regimes to be true, if the regime if false the strategy will exit the current trade, as the regime filter has predicted a slowing / reversal of momentum.
The image below shows the strategy executing these trading rules ( Regime filters, "Trades on chart", "Signal & Label" and "Quantity" have been omitted. "Strategy label plots" has been switched to true)
Other Strategy Rules:
If a new session (time session which is user defined) is true (blue vertical line) and the strategy is currently still in a trade it will exit that trade immediately.
It is possible to also set a range of percentage gain per day that the strategy will try to acquire, if at any point the strategy’s profit is within the percentage range then the position / trade will be exited immediately (This can be changed in the “PERCENT DAY GAIN” group for user inputs)
Stops and Targets:
The strategy has either static (fixed) or variable SL options. TP however is only static. The “STRAT TP & TP” group of user inputs is responsible for the SL and TP values (quoted in pips). Note once the ATR stop is set to true the SL values in the above group no longer have any affect on the SL as expected.
What are the Regime Filters:
The Larry Williams Large Trade Index (LWLTI): The Larry Williams Large Trade Index (LWTI) is a momentum-based technical indicator developed by iconic trader Larry Williams. It identifies potential entries and exits for trades by gauging market sentiment, particularly the buying and selling pressure from large market players. Here's a breakdown of the LWTI:
LWLTI components and their interpretation:
Oscillator: It oscillates between 0 and 100, with 50 acting as the neutral line.
Sentiment Meter: Values above 75 suggest a bearish market dominated by large selling, while readings below 25 indicate a bullish market with strong buying from large players.
Trend Confirmation: Crossing above 75 during an uptrend and below 25 during a downtrend confirms the trend's continuation.
The Andean Oscillator (AO) : The Andean Oscillator is a trend and momentum based indicator designed to measure the degree of variations within individual uptrends and downtrends in the prices.
Regime Filter States:
In trading, a regime filter is a tool used to identify the current state or "regime" of the market.
These Regime filters are integrated within the trading strategy to attempt to lower risk (equity volatility and/or draw down). The regime filters have different states for each market order type (buy and sell). When the regime filters are set to true, if these regime states fail to be true the trade is exited immediately.
For Buy Trades:
LWLTI positive momentum state: Quotient of the lagged trailing difference and the ATR > 50
AO positive momentum state: Bull line > Bear line (signal line is omitted)
For Sell Trades:
LWLTI negative momentum stat: Quotient of the lagged trailing difference and the ATR < 50
AO negative momentum state: Bull line < Bear line (signal line is omitted)
How does the Strategy Send Signals:
The strategy triggers a TV alert (you will neet to set a alert first), TV then sends a HTTP request to the automation software (PineConnecter) which receives the request and then communicates to an MT4/5 EA to automate the trading strategy.
For the strategy to send signals you must have the following
At least a TV essential subscription

IchiBot - [SigmaStreet]
The IchiBot Indicator has been used to develop automated trading systems. It leverages the open-source Ichimoku framework provided by Trading View, to enable users to creatively generate over 1 trillion different combinations of trading conditions with the use of multiple timeframes to create unique “signal labels” that can be used to create custom strategies or provide in depth market analysis. At the end of this description, I have provided an example of input settings for a simple scalping strategy that I have back tested on US30 on the 5 minute timeframe.
Overview of the Settings:
The visuals section includes an option to show or hide certain parts of the indicator and change the size of the signal labels plotted on the chart.
Next to the “Signal color on baseline/candles” section, you can choose if you want to see additional signals generations from the most previous plotted label on a color changing baseline, or color changing candles. A color change from gray to blue/red indicate that the conditions from the most previously plotted signal label have been met again.
The next 5 sections are all related to the strategy portion of the indicator, used to aid in the back testing process. These sections are titled “Stop loss”, “Take Profit”, “Trail Stop”, “Trade Settings” and “Trade Schedule”.
The Stop Loss section includes an option to choose between value of “pts”, “atr” (average true range) or “None”. The stop loss value in “pts” is simply a specified number of points or pips from the current entry price of a trade that are input in the “SL” section. If the stop loss type is “atr” the “SL” section is not used and the value is calculated and displaced from the current entry price of a trade based on the atr period multiplied by the atr multiplier.
The take profit section is based on the same logic as the stop loss.
The Trail Stop section includes an option to choose between values “pts” or “None”. If the Trail Stop value is “pts”, a trailing stop loss is activated if a trade moves a point value into profit that exceeds the value of the “Trail Activation”. If the Trail Offset type is “pts”, the trailing stop loss is placed a point value away from the current price that is equal to the “Trail Offset” value.
The trade settings section has two options to either prevent or allow trade reversals and prevent or allow only 1 trade per signal label.
If the “Don’t allow trade reversals” is on, then a currently active trade can not be cancelled by an opposite trade signal. It can only be cancelled by the exit logic selected in the above sections. If the “One trade per signal” is selected, the strategy will only enter a trade if the most recent signal label is different from the last signal label where a trade was entered, or if the most recent signal label is in the opposite direction of the most recent signal label where a trade was entered.
The trade schedule section includes an option to only generate signal labels during the specified time. You can choose between 24/7 which will generate signals without any time restriction, or you can choose a custom time which is based on the America / New York time zone.
The timeframe settings section includes an option to choose “single” or “multiple” timeframes, as well as an option to show every signal label combination (“all”), or only the signal labels with the highest numerical value (“absolute”).
If you select “single” next to “timeframe”, the indicator will show you labels based on trade conditions met from only 1 selected timeframe. If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe”, the indicator is designed to return signal labels based on trade conditions that have been met on at least 2 different timeframes.
If you select “multiple” and “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels that always include a minimum of 2 timeframes where 1 timeframe is always the current timeframe. If you unselect the “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels with a minimum of 2 timeframes.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “all” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will show you every possible combination of labels that vary from trade conditions met on a minimum of 2 timeframes, to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “absolute” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will only show you labels where the numerical value is equivalent to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
Each signal label provides a number which refers to the number of timeframes used to generate the label, offering insights briefly. Hover over a label to reveal detailed tooltip information that details the exact timeframes used to generate each label.
You can choose all from “Show all/absolute labels” to see every possible combination of trade signals or “absolute” to only see labels that have the highest possible numerical value. Absolute means that every condition selected from every timeframe was calculated to be true at the same time on the same candle.
The next 8 sections are “Current timeframe trade conditions”, “1-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “5-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “15-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “30-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “1-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “4-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “Daily timeframe trade conditions”.
These sections include the same 10 trade conditions, that can be used independently, or in combination with each other. This brings the total number of trade conditions to 70.
The final section includes a standard option to adjust the current Ichimoku values.
Understanding the Calculations:
The term “future” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the right of the most recent closing price.
The term “current” refers to a value that is calculated on the most recent closing price.
The term “past” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the left of the most recent closing price.
Bullish is referred to as “blue” and bearish is referred to as “red”.
Buy Signals:
1. The current closing price is greater than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is blue.
3. The current closing price is greater than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is greater than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is greater than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is greater than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is greater than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is greater than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is greater than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely blue.
Sell Signals:
1. The current closing price is less than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is red.
3. The current closing price is less than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is less than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is less than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is less than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is less than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is less than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is less than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely red.
The script enables users to access the value of these 10 trade conditions across the 7 major time frames (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, and the current charts time frame) by using the official non repainting request security function provided by Trading View:
f_secSecurity(_src, _res, _exp) =>
request.security(_src, _res, _exp )
This indicator provides up to 70 variables (10 variables X 7 timeframes) that can be used separately, or in combination to generate signal labels.
Enhance your visual analysis with a color-changing baseline and candle colors that adapt to signal shifts, offering an immediate understanding of market trends. The base line will change from gray to blue/red which will reference the most previously plotted signal label. This change in color indicate that the conditions from the most recently plotted signal label have been met once again. Please refer to the example below.
Adjustments to the Ichimoku Indicator:
The script uses a slightly refined version of the Ichimoku indicator to calculate 10 different “trade conditions”. Each trade condition can create 1 bullish signal label and 1 bearish signal label. The calculations are primarily based on “greater than and less than logic” which is standard for signal generation.
In the original Ichimoku calculations, the “Lagging Span” has a default value of 26 periods. In the actual calculations, this input with the title “Lagging Span” is referred to as the “displacement”. When the lagging span is plotted on the chart, it is plotted with an offset value of offset = -displacement + 1 which technically plots the lagging span 25 candles to the left the most recent candle (if you count the most recent closing price as 0 and not 1). The clouds are plotted with an offset of offset = displacement -1 which technically plots the clouds 25 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
I have adjusted the logic of the Ichimoku indicator so the lagging span is still plotted 25 candles to the left of the most recently confirmed candle close, but the cloud is plotted 26 candles to the right of the most recent confirmed candle close.
This seemingly small adjustment of one candle cannot simply be adjusted in the settings of the original Ichimoku indicator since the calculations of the cloud and lagging span displacements are directly affected by the same value (displacement = 26, also known as the “lagging span”). My script is adjusted to make calculations where the lagging span is 25 candles to the left of the most recent candle, and the cloud is displaced 26 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
For example, my scripts logic to detect if the current closing price is over the current cloud is (close > leadLead1 and close > leadLine2 and leadLine1 > leadLine2 . By using a lookback of , the logic assumes that the displaced value is 26 bars to the right of the most recent candle. My script also reflects this logic in the plotted values of the cloud where the offset values are offset = displacement. This adjustment is made without affecting any other part of the Ichimoku indicators calculations, only the displacement of the cloud which directly affects the logic of trade conditioins. This change is a deliberate and necessary function of this script’s logic to generate trade conditions and signal labels.
I’ve removed the conversion line and the lagging span and introduced a 26-period pivot high/low to provide a less cluttered chart. The pivot high/low looks 26 periods to the left and only 1 period to the right. The lagging span and conversion line logic is still built into the framework of the trading signals. If you choose to enable the lagging span, or conversion line.
trading approach, and always test your strategies thoroughly.
The function to generate the "Signal Labels" calculates every single possible combination of the 7 different timeframes which is a total of 127 combinations for bullish signal labels, and 127 combinations for bearish signal labels. This function also provides the necessary criteria for the strategy entry conditions, based on the dynamically calculated values derived from the signal labels themselves. For example: "buy signal on 1 minute and 5 minute timeframe" is considered 1 combination, and "Buy signal on current, 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 4 hour and daily timeframe" is also considered 1 combination. There are a total of 254 combinations between buy and sell signal labels along with 254 individual variables with their own unique tool tip description. The signal label function alone spans over 1340 lines of code (minus spaces and comments) to specifically account for every possible variable combination. This unique and original function also calculates the signal label "value" which is the number you see on the signal label. This function adjusts the amount of labels plotted, the value and description of all labels based on the timeframe settings "single"/"multiple", the use of "use current timeframe" setting, and the "trade schedule". This signal label function has been a landmark piece of code for me in my endeavor to create and optimize my strategies based on its ability to provide an in depth analysis of the timeframes used when generating signal labels. This function is main reason that this script has been published closed source.

[Round Numbers] Signal Clean Up Analysis with Backtest (TSO)Round Numbers NEW GEN indicator!
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
This is a full-cycle trading system indicator - it will show and alert each step of the trade from open to close. The algorithm here uses Round Numbers for generating signals, TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels. Round numbers play big role in trading and can easily become strong support and resistance levels where price can bounce and go the opposite way or go through with a very nice run afterwards.
In addition there is a chained (NOTE: You can select several or ALL of the features, this is not limited to either one) signal cleanup and analysis approach with scheduling and alerting capabilities. Works with most popular timeframes: 1M, 3M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D.
NOTE: Every action of the trade is calculated on a confirmed closed candle bar state (barstate.isconfirmed), so the indicator will never repaint!
NOTE: At position open - there will be calculated Take-Profit and Stop-Loss targets, however each target is considered hit, when candle bar closes breaking that target, so Take-Profit and Stop-Loss when hit will slightly differ then what you see at trade/position open.
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
Round Numbers up|down unit setting and overall explanation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round Number up|down unit: is the distance between round numbers on the chart. Since these round number levels are also used by the algorithm to open/close trades, it is important to set this setting to a logical number, which will correspond to an average price movement of the instrument.
Here are some examples for a few popular instruments on what will the default 1 round number unit correspond to and what would be suggested:
BTCUSD > $1 (this won't work for Bitcoin, try at least $100 - 100units)
SPY: > $1 (one of the best settings for SPY or QQQ, 50cents shows good results as well - 0.5units)
FOREX (all major pairs): > 10PIPs (that may be a bit small, unless scalping, try 50PIPs - 5units)

===========================================================================
Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!). Please note the EOD trade closure times with the 2 different Intraday close settings when turned on:
At Market Close:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:55pm ET
15min > will close at 15:45pm ET
30min > will close at 15:30pm ET
45min > will close at 15:45pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
Before Power Hour:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:00pm ET
15min > will close at 15:00pm ET
30min > will close at 15:00pm ET
45min > will close at 15:00pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
>>> Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/trunning, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on).
>>> Turn On/Off: Current Position SL + Opposite Position Open Signal on the same closing candle bar (If current trade hits Stop-Loss and at that same closing candle bar there is a signal for an opposite direction trade > indicator will close current position as Stop-Loss and immediately open an opposite position). NOTE: With this option turned on, there will be more trades, but not necessarily better results, since after Stop-Loss is hit, it may make sense to wait a little before opening an opposite trade, even if it matches the condition at the same time when Stop-Loss is hit, but sometimes it shows great results, so this setting/feature is included. NOTE: This setting only will work/make sense with TP and SL style/behavior both be set to "Fully Closed Candle"!
>>> Turn On/Off: Turn On/Off: Current Position REGULAR SL | Only the SL + Opposite Position Open will trigger if turned on, IF NOT - THERE WILL BE NO STOP-LOSS AT ALL!!! NOTE: It is very dangerous to trade without Stop-Loss!
>>>>> Signal Candle Bar consuming Take-Profits - position/trade signal candle bar is big enough to "consume"/close ahead the first TP setting > the signal can either be skipped, or all Take-Profit areas pushed ahead using smart formula)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit) ||| 2) Dynamic – Once the trade is open, only the 1st Take-Profit target is calculated, once the 1st Take-Profit is hit > next Take-Profit distance is calculated based on the distance from trade Entry to where 1st Take-Profit was taken, once 2nd Take-Profit is taken > 3rd Take-Profit is calculated per same logic, these are good for price momentum as with price speeding up – profits increase as well!
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT: SL (stop loss) System | Static: SL is set at position open and remains such; Dynamic: Once ANY TP is taken > SL will be moved to Entry; Trailing: SL will be moved along the position (smart trailing stop-loss), at TP1 taken > SL moves to Entry, at TP2 taken > SL moves to TP1, at TP3 taken > SL moves to TP2 and so on.
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…
===========================================================================
Dynamic/Static/Trailing Take-Profit and Stop-Loss visual examples:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Fully Static Take-Profit and Stop-Loss
This one is a fully static setup for both Take-Profit and Stop-Loss, you can also observe how trade is closed right before the Power Hour (trade can be closed right before Power Hour or right before Market Closes or left overnight as desired).
2) Static/Dynamic, Static Take-Profit and Dynamic Stop-Loss
You can see a static Take-Profit set at position open, while Stop-Loss moves to Entry once TP1 target is taken.
3) Static/Trailing, Static Take-Profit and Trailing Stop-Loss
In here with each Take-Profit taken, Stop-Loss moves along the trade to previous Take-Profit level, you can notice how stop-loss literally follows the trade and reduces the potential loss.
4) Dynamic/Trailing, Dynamic Take-Profit and Trailing Stop-Loss
See how Take-Profit distances increase with price momentum. Just like in previous example - Trailing Stop-Loss is following the trade and reducing the riks.
===========================================================================
Signal Analysis and Cleanup Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Candle Color signal confirmation: If closed candle bar color does not match the signal direction > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip opposite candle signals: If closed candle bar color will match the signal direction, but candle structure will be opposite (for example: bearish green hammer, long high stick on top of a small green square) > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip doji candle signals: If closed candle bar will be the uncertain doji > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator) signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, EWO is green or will be at bullish slope (you can select which setting you desire), SHORT if EWO is red or will be at bearish slope.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | VWAP signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above VWAP, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | Moving Average signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above selected Moving Average, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | ATR signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above ATR, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | RSI + MACD signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, RSI + MACD will be bullish, SHORT if RSI + MACD will be bearish.
>>>>> Volume signal confirmation: LONG/SHORT will only be opened with strong Volume matching the signal direction, by default, strong Volume percentage is set to 150% and weak to 50%, but you can change it as you desire.

TP System - VERY IMPORTANT INFO!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" - amount by which current trade/position needs to be reduced/partially closed/sold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Dynamic
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount (trade/position size divided by the # of take-profit(TP) targets) and percentage to be closed will always be of the ORIGINAL trade/position.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Static
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount IF take-profit(TP) targets are hit 1-by-1 (TP1 > TP2 > TP3 > TP4 > TP5), otherwise it will vary and unless it is a 1st take-profit(TP1), the REMAINING trade/position size will always be smaller than original and therefore the percentage to be closed will always be of the REMAINING trade/position and NOT the original one!

If for any reason a portion of the current/remaining trade closed at such occurrence was slightly wrong, it is not an issue. Such occurrences are rare and with slight difference in partial TP closed is not significant to overall performance of our algorithms.

Adding Alerts in TradngView
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Add indicator to chart and make sure the correct strategy is configured (check Backtesting results)
-Right-click anywhere on the TradingView chart
-Click on Add alert
-Condition: Select this indicator by it’s name
-Immediately below, change it to "alert() function calls only", as other wise there will be 2 alerts for every alert!
-Expiration: Open-ended (that may require higher tier TradingView account, otherwise the alert will need to be occasionally re-triggered)
-Alert name: Whatever you desire
-Hit “Create”
-Note: If you change ANY Settings within the indicator – you must DELETE the current alert and create a new one per steps above, otherwise it will continue triggering alerts per old Settings!
===========================================================================
If you have any questions or issues with the indicator, please message me directly via TradingView.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Luck! (NOTE: Trading is very risky, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, so please trade responsibly!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: There seems to be a strange glitch when strategy is running live, it will show "double-take" take-profits labels on the chart. This is not affecting the script logic and backtesting results, if you simply change the timeframe real quick to something else then back - it will no longer show the duplicate orders... this must be some sort of a glitch as every alert was thoroughly tested to make sure everything is working!
AI SuperTrend - Strategy [presentTrading]
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The AI Supertrend Strategy is a unique hybrid approach that employs both traditional technical indicators and machine learning techniques. Unlike standard strategies that rely solely on traditional indicators or mathematical models, this strategy integrates the power of k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), a machine learning algorithm, with the tried-and-true SuperTrend indicator. This blend aims to provide traders with more accurate, responsive, and context-aware trading signals.
*The KNN part is mainly referred from @Zeiierman.
BTCUSD 8hr performance
ETHUSD 8hr performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
SuperTrend Calculation
Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): A VWMA of the close price is calculated based on the user-defined length (len). This serves as the central line around which the upper and lower bands are calculated.
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is calculated over a period defined by len. It measures the market's volatility.
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper band is calculated as VWMA + (factor * ATR) and the lower band as VWMA - (factor * ATR). The factor is a user-defined multiplier that decides how wide the bands should be.
KNN Algorithm
Data Collection: An array (data) is populated with recent n SuperTrend values. Corresponding labels (labels) are determined by whether the weighted moving average price (price) is greater than the weighted moving average of the SuperTrend (sT).
Distance Calculation: The absolute distance between each data point and the current SuperTrend value is calculated.
Sorting & Weighting: The distances are sorted in ascending order, and the closest k points are selected. Each point is weighted by the inverse of its distance to the current point.
Classification: A weighted sum of the labels of the k closest points is calculated. If the sum is closer to 1, the trend is predicted as bullish; if closer to 0, bearish.
Signal Generation
Start of Trend: A new bullish trend (Start_TrendUp) is considered to have started if the current trend color is bullish and the previous was not bullish. Similarly for bearish trends (Start_TrendDn).
Trend Continuation: A bullish trend (TrendUp) is considered to be continuing if the direction is negative and the KNN prediction is 1. Similarly for bearish trends (TrendDn).
Trading Logic
Long Condition: If Start_TrendUp or TrendUp is true, a long position is entered.
Short Condition: If Start_TrendDn or TrendDn is true, a short position is entered.
Exit Condition: Dynamic trailing stops are used for exits. If the trend does not continue as indicated by the KNN prediction and SuperTrend direction, an exit signal is generated.
The synergy between SuperTrend and KNN aims to filter out noise and produce more reliable trading signals. While SuperTrend provides a broad sense of the market direction, KNN refines this by predicting short-term price movements, leading to a more nuanced trading strategy.
Local picture
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows traders to choose between taking only long positions, only short positions, or both. This is particularly useful for adapting to different market conditions.
█ Usage
ToolTips: Explains what each parameter does and how to adjust them.
Inputs: Customize values like the number of neighbors in KNN, ATR multiplier, and moving average type.
Plotting: Visual cues on the chart to indicate bullish or bearish trends.
Order Execution: Based on the generated signals, the strategy will execute buy/sell orders.
█ Default Settings
The default settings are selected to provide a balanced approach, but they can be modified for different trading styles and asset classes.
Initial Capital: $10,000
Default Quantity Type: 10% of equity
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1
Currency: USD
By combining both machine learning and traditional technical analysis, this strategy offers a sophisticated and adaptive trading solution.
Market Breadth Strategy/Introduction
The Market Breadth Strategy (MBS) is a versatile strategy for trading the US stock market. MBS is suitable for traders with low, medium and high risk tolerance who prefer trading equities as an asset class on the 1 day timeframe. It combines mean reversion with trend following to keep you participating in the stock market for as long as is profitable.
/Signals
The strategy is long only. Four different signals are generated to ensure all opportunities the market presents are seized for profit. The first category of signals are triggered after a prolonged period of falling prices; usually during a bear market or severe correction, open your largest positions on this signal. The second category of signals are triggered at the end of the bear market, early in the recovery. They ensure you do not miss out on an early entry if you get stopped out of your initial positions, size them equal to the first category signal positions. The third category of signals are triggered late in the recovery from a bear market, severe correction or deep pullback. Open your smallest positions on this signal. The fourth category of signals are triggered at all times when the market experiences a significant pullback or time correction, these positions should be medium sized.
For optimum performance, whenever signals are triggered, traders are advised to open at least, a new long position. Buying the index is recommended for traders with low risk tolerance, buying sector, industry or thematic ETFs (after sufficient analysis) is recommended for traders with medium risk tolerance, while buying stocks (after sufficient analysis) is recommended for traders who want to take on higher risk for higher returns. Such traders may also combine positions in indices, groups and individual stocks for better performance.
/Interpretation
MBS will display an upward blue arrow signifying a buy signal after the candle closes. A label below the arrow will describe which signal was triggered and a number depicting the number of positions (they can be deactivated in the style settings). MBS will also display a downwards pink arrow above the candle, after a specified decline from the high, again when the candle closes. All open positions will be closed on this signal, it is the risk management feature of the strategy.
/Construction
The strategy is built using market breadth data from the US Exchanges where stocks are listed, it is not a mash-up of different indicators. A combination of the following data is used:
(i) the number of advancing and declining issues
(ii) the number of issues reaching new highs
(iii) the closing prices of issues relative to key moving averages
This data is analysed and used to generate the four categories of signals described previously, they are named;
(i) Bottom Signal - for buying at the market's potential bottom
(ii) Follow-Up Signal - for ensuring you do not miss the bottom
(iii)Follow-Through Signal - for buying strength after a downtrend
(iv) Buy-The-Dip Signal - for buying throwbacks in uptrends and pullbacks in downtrends
/Settings
This strategy works best with the default settings. Although the input parameters can be changed to suit your needs, it is not advisable to do so as it may affect the strategy's performance.
(i) The market regime filter checks to see if the market is in a regime of rising prices (bull market) or falling prices (bear market), long signals are avoided in bear market conditions.
(ii) The risk size is equivalent to a stop loss. It triggers an exit when price declines by a certain amount.
(iii) 'Downside' measures the participation of issues to the downside during a decline while 'Upside' measures the participation of issues to the upside after the decline; this is called 'follow through'.
(iv) The bottom interval determines the frequency of bottom signals issued in days.
(v) Dip size quantifies the dip to determine if it is large enough for a buy signal, the lower the number, the larger the dip.
(vi) Following interval sets the duration for following up on the bottom.
(vii) Bottoming interval resets the bottom for the next follow-up
/Strategy Results
The backtest results are based on a starting capital of $13,700 (convenient amount for retail traders) with $1000 position size (7% of equity and enough for two shares of SPY) and pyramiding of 10 consecutive positions. Commissions of 0.03% and slippage of 2 ticks are used to ensure the results are representative of real world trading conditions. The backtest results are available to view at the bottom of this page.
Note that past results are not indicative of future results. The strategy is backtested in ideal conditions, it has no predictive abilities and results from live trading may not achieve the 2.235 profit factor shown here as each trader may introduce subjectivity or interfere with its performance or market conditions might change significantly. Since the strategy was designed for the US stock market, it has been backtested on the SPY (representative of the US stock market) ETF (for consistency in price across brokers).
/Tickers
This strategy should be used preferably with the SPY ticker which is the ETF for the S&P500. Alternatively, it could be used with VOO and several other S&P500 ETFs or a CFD ticker such as SPX500USD and several others which are based on the futures product. The strategy may not be suitable for futures tickers like ES according to TradingView.
/Access
The MBS is an Invite-Only script hence, traders interested in this strategy should contact me privately to request access.
TrendGuard Flag Finder - Strategy [presentTrading]
Introduction and How It Is Different
In the vast world of trading strategies, the TrendGuard Flag Finder stands out as a unique blend of traditional flag pattern detection and the renowned SuperTrend indicator.
- A significant portion of the Flag Pattern detection is inspired by the "Flag Finder" code by @Amphibiantrading, which serves as one of foundational element of this strategy.
- While many strategies focus on either trend-following or pattern recognition, this strategy harmoniously combines both, offering traders a more holistic view of the market.
- The integration of the SuperTrend indicator not only provides a clear direction of the prevailing trend but also offers potential stop-loss levels, enhancing the strategy's risk management capabilities.
AAPL 1D chart
ETHBTC 6hr chart
Strategy: How It Works
The TrendGuard Flag Finder is primarily built on two pillars:
1. Flag Pattern Detection : At its core, the strategy identifies flag patterns, which are continuation patterns suggesting that the prevailing trend will resume after a brief consolidation. The strategy meticulously detects both bullish and bearish flags, ensuring traders can capitalize on opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
What is a Flag Pattern? A flag pattern consists of two main components:
1.1 The Pole : This is the initial strong price move, which can be either upwards (for bullish flags) or downwards (for bearish flags). The pole represents a strong surge in price in a particular direction, driven by significant buying or selling momentum.
1.2 The Flag : Following the pole, the price starts consolidating, moving against the initial trend. This consolidation forms a rectangular shape and is characterized by parallel trendlines. In a bullish flag, the consolidation will have a slight downward tilt, while in a bearish flag, it will have a slight upward tilt.
How the Strategy Detects Flags:
Identifying the Pole: The strategy first identifies a strong price movement over a user-defined number of bars. This movement should meet a certain percentage change to qualify as a pole.
Spotting the Flag: After the pole is identified, the strategy looks for a consolidation phase. The consolidation should be counter to the prevailing trend and should be contained within parallel lines. The depth (for bullish flags) or rally (for bearish flags) of this consolidation is calculated to ensure it meets user-defined criteria.
2. SuperTrend Integration : The SuperTrend indicator, known for its simplicity and effectiveness, is integrated into the strategy. It provides a dynamic line on the chart, signaling the prevailing trend. When prices are above the SuperTrend line, it's an indication of an uptrend, and vice versa. This not only confirms the flag pattern's direction but also offers a potential stop-loss level for trades.
When combined, these components allow traders to identify potential breakout (for bullish flags) or breakdown (for bearish flags) scenarios, backed by the momentum indicated by the SuperTrend.
Usage
To use the SuperTrend Enhanced Flag Finder:
- Inputs : Begin by setting the desired parameters. The strategy offers a range of user-controlled settings, allowing for customization based on individual trading preferences and risk tolerance.
- Visualization : Once the parameters are set, the strategy will identify and visually represent flag patterns on the chart. Bullish flags are represented in green, while bearish flags are in red.
- Trade Execution : When a breakout or breakdown is identified, the strategy provides entry signals. It also offers exit signals based on the SuperTrend, ensuring that traders can capitalize on the momentum while managing risk.
Default Settings
The strategy comes with a set of default settings optimized for general use:
- SuperTrend Parameters: Length set to 10 and Factor set to 5.0.
- Bull Flag Criteria: Max Flag Depth at 7, Max Flag Length at 10 bars, Min Flag Length at 3 bars, Prior Uptrend Minimum at 9%, and Flag Pole Length between 7 to 13 bars.
- Bear Flag Criteria: Similar settings adjusted for bearish patterns.
- Display Options: By default, both bullish and bearish flags are displayed, with breakout and breakdown points highlighted.
[Camarilla Pivots] Signal Clean Up Analysis with Backtest (TSO)Camarilla Pivots NEW GEN Indicator!
This is a full-cycle trading system indicator, which uses Camarilla Pivots for generating signals using a custom developed algorithm, TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels. There are 3 SOURCES for signals (each can be used separately or in combination or all 3 can be used at the same time, each signal SOURCE is using Camarilla Pivots levels to open optimal trade direction) with chained (NOTE: There are many potential profitable setups available, by combining clean up features availabe in the indicator settings!) signal cleanup and analysis approach with scheduling and alerting capabilities. Works best with shorter timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M, 1H.
NOTE: Every calculation is done on a confirmed closed candle bar state, so the indicator will never repaint!
NOTE: At position open - there will be calculated Take-Profit and Stop-Loss targets, however each target is considered hit, when candle bar closes breaking that target, so Take-Profit and Stop-Loss when hit will slightly differ then what you see at position open!
===========================================================================

===========================================================================
Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!). Please note the EOD trade closure times with the 2 different Intraday close settings when turned on:
At Market Close:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:55pm ET
15min > will close at 15:45pm ET
30min > will close at 15:30pm ET
45min > will close at 15:45pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
Before Power Hour:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:00pm ET
15min > will close at 15:00pm ET
30min > will close at 15:00pm ET
45min > will close at 15:00pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
>>> Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/trunning, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on).
>>> Position Open sources:
>>>>> Position Open - SOURCE1 | LONG: S3, SL: S4, TP1: R3, TP2: R4, TP3: R5, TP4/5: Smart Formula | SHORT: R3, SL: R4, TP1: S3, TP2: S4, TP3: S5, TP4/5: Smart Formula
>>>>> Position Open - SOURCE2 | LONG: R4, SL: R3, TP1: R5, TP2/3/4/5: Smart Formula | SHORT: S4, SL: S3, TP1: S5, TP2/3/4/5: Smart Formula
>>>>> Position Open - SOURCE3 | LONG: R5, SL: R4, TP1/2/3/4/5: Smart Formula | SHORT: S5, SL: S4, TP1/2/3/4/5: Smart Formula
>>> Turn On/Off: Current Position SL + Opposite Position Open Signal on the same closing candle bar (If current trade hits Stop-Loss and at that same closing candle bar there is a signal for an opposite direction trade > indicator will close current position as Stop-Loss and immediately open an opposite position). NOTE: With this option turned on, there will be more trades, but not necessarily better results, since after Stop-Loss is hit, it may make sense to wait a little before opening an opposite trade, even if it matches the condition at the same time when Stop-Loss is hit, but sometimes it shows great results, so this setting/feature is included.
>>> Turn On/Off: Turn On/Off: Current Position REGULAR SL | Only the SL + Opposite Position Open will trigger if turned on, IF NOT - THERE WILL BE NO STOP-LOSS AT ALL!!! NOTE: It is very dangerous to trade without Stop-Loss!
>>>>> Signal Candle Bar consuming Take-Profits - position/trade signal candle bar is big enought to "consume"/close ahead the first TP setting > the signal can either be skipped, or all Take-Profit areas pushed ahead using smart formula)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | SL (Stop-Loss) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set for the remaining of the trade ||| 2) Dynamic – At trade open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set the same way, however once 1st Take-Profit is taken > Stop-Loss is moved to Entry, reducing the risk.
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…
===========================================================================
Signal Analysis and Cleanup Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Candle Color signal confirmation: If closed candle bar color does not match the signal direction > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip opposite candle signals: If closed candle bar color will match the signal direction, but candle structure will be opposite (for example: bearish green hammer, long high stick on top of a small green square) > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip doji candle signals: If closed candle bar will be the uncertain doji > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator) signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, EWO is green or will be at bullish slope (you can select which setting you desire), SHORT if EWO is red or will be at bearish slope.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | VWAP signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above VWAP, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | Moving Average signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above selected Moving Average, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | ATR signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above ATR, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | RSI + MACD signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, RSI + MACD will be bullish, SHORT if RSI + MACD will be bearish.
>>>>> Volume signal confirmation: LONG/SHORT will only be opened with strong Volume matching the signal direction, by default, strong Volume percentage is set to 150% and weak to 50%, but you can change it as you desire.

TP System - VERY IMPORTANT INFO!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" - amount by which current trade/position needs to be reduced/partially closed/sold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Dynamic
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount (trade/position size divided by the # of take-profit(TP) targets) and percentage to be closed will always be of the ORIGINAL trade/position.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Static
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount IF take-profit(TP) targets are hit 1-by-1 (TP1 > TP2 > TP3 > TP4 > TP5), otherwise it will vary and unless it is a 1st take-profit(TP1), the REMAINING trade/position size will always be smaller than original and therefore the percentage to be closed will always be of the REMAINING trade/position and NOT the original one!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" CheatSheet (these are the only percentages you may see)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TP PERCENTAGE---Close/Sell Amount-------------Example (trade size: 50 stocks)
20%-------------trade size * 0.2--------------50 * 0.2 = 10 stocks
25%-------------trade size * 0.25-------------50 * 0.25 = 12.5(~13) stocks
34%-------------trade size * 0.34-------------50 * 0.34 = 17 stocks
40%-------------trade size * 0.4--------------50 * 0.4 = 20 stocks
50%-------------trade size * 0.5--------------50 * 0.5 = 25 stocks
60%-------------trade size * 0.6--------------50 * 0.6 = 30 stocks
66%-------------trade size * 0.66-------------50 * 0.66 = 33 stocks
75%-------------trade size * 0.75-------------50 * 0.75 = 37.5(~38) stocks
80%-------------trade size * 0.8--------------50 * 0.8 = 40 stocks
100%------------trade size--------------------50 = 50 stocks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If for any reason a portion of the current/remaining trade closed at such occurrence was slightly wrong, it is not an issue. Such occurrences are rare and with slight difference in partial TP closed is not significant to overall performance of our algorithms.

Good Luck! (NOTE: Trading is very risky, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, so please trade responsibly!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: There seems to be a strange glitch when strategy is running live, it will show "double-take" take-profits labels on the chart. This is not affecting the script logic and backtesting results, if you will remove/re-add the script afterwards, it will no longer show the duplicate orders... this must be some sort of a glitch as every alert was thoroughly tested to make sure everything is working!
[Volume Profile] Signal Clean Up Analysis with Backtest (TSO) This is a full-cycle trading system indicator, which uses Volume Profile for generating signals using a custom developed algorithm, TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels. There are 2 SOURCES for signals (each can be used separately or both can be used at the same time, each signal SOURCE is using Volume Profile levels to open optimal trade direction) with chained (NOTE: You can select several or ALL of the features, this is not limited to either one) signal cleanup and analysis approach with scheduling and alerting capabilities. Works with most popular timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D, great for intraday trading!
NOTE: Every calculation is done on a confirmed closed candle bar state, so the indicator will never repaint!

Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!).
>>> Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/trunning, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | SL (Stop-Loss) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set for the remaining of the trade ||| 2) Dynamic – At trade open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set the same way, however once 1st Take-Profit is taken > Stop-Loss is moved to Entry, reducing the risk.
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…

Kimchi Premium StrategyThis strategy is based on the Korea Premium, also known as the “Kimchi Premium,” which indicates how expensive or cheap the price of Bitcoin in Korean Won on a Bitcoin exchange in South Korea is relative to the price of Bitcoin being traded in USD or Tether. Inverse Kimchi Premium RSI was newly defined to create a strategy with Kimchi Premium. Assuming that the larger the kimchi premium, the greater the individual's purchasing power. In this case, if the Inverse Kimchi Premium RSI falls and closes the candle below the bear level, a short is triggered. Long is the opposite.
This strategy defaults to a combination of the traditional RSI and the Inverse Kimchi Premium RSI. If the user wishes to unlock the Inverse Kimchi Premium RSI combination and only use it as a traditional RSI strategy, the following settings can be used.

Long은 그 반대입니다.

Simple Momentum and Trend, Fixed PnL Strategy for SPY 1D [SR]This strategy uses an ATR rule to assess momentum and a TSI rule to assess bullish or bearishness
It has a fixed stop at 50 points, and fixed take profit at 300 pips
It provides a very satisfyingly smooth equity line with a max drawdown below 5% and realized profit over 200%
This is the initial version as I work out optimizations and add plots to the chart based on the strategy's actions.
I would love to get the community's feedback and help as I'm new. Not sure how to limit the date range of the backtest to make it more realistic. I'm also not certain how to plot it best.
Altered OBV On MACDHere is another strategy along with an indicator that is already published for everyone to use wisely in the tradingview platform. The strategy is not very planned to highlight where to enter and when to exit as it is just a system. So, it is always good practice to follow the signal of simple moving averages and that is the reason you could find those color lines in this strategy as well.
As the indicator signals the entry point, it is wise to decide what the SMA (21, 50, 90, 200) signals us. When the price oscillated around the higher timeframe of moving averages, then it is wise to wait before entering.
OBV:
The OBV is perfect indicator to understand the strength of the particular stock. As the strength increase, the trend of the stock goes high along with price. But, the OBV is considered only with close of previous close which is to make sure the double confirmation on the price to accumulate the volume .
Altered OBV:
So, here is the altered OBV, which basically consider the close of previous close and also buying interested of the day when close is higher than open.
MACD:
I always admire the magic of MACD with pre-defined timeframe. Now, this MACD applied on top of altered OBV to signal us the moving of the ticker strength.
Long:
The long entry occurs when the MACD on Altered OBV signal bullish and the same time the MACD on close already bullish.
Short
The short denotes when the MACD on Altered OBV signal bearish and at the same time the MACD on close already bearish.
I hope this would help on your swing trading strategy.
Happy Investing.

FibVIP2022TSLAThis is version 1.0 FibVIP2022TSLA Strategy. This has only been back tested for the ticker "TSLA" for the year 2022. And I real time capital tested it personally. The reason I isolated this strategy to 2022 is because Tesla's chart patterns have changed from the previous 2 years. So, I wanted to develop an indicator-based strategy that was consistent with current market conditions. The default setting for percent of equity is set to 5% risk. I will adjust any variables that make this FibVIP2022TSLA Strategy more accurate in the future as more 2022 data comes out.
It's based on my Fibonacci VIP indicator script. Fibonacci VIP (Fibonacci Volume Indicator Precision) is a volume indicator that I made to help me have precise entry and exit timing. It's based on the well-known Fibonacci sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233. The default colors I like to use can be changed to whatever you want. The numbers inputted are based on volume ema.
Bullish momentum in ascending order is 21 = white, 13 = blue, 8 = green.
Bearish momentum descending order is 89 = red, 55 = yellow, 34 = purple.
Immediate momentum 1 = orange, 2 = blue, 3 = neon green, 5 = lime.
Long term momentum 144 = lime, 233 = teal.
Four high, mid high, mid low & low dashed channel lines with transparent fill colors lime, green, maroon & red. Also, there's a gray zero static line & white dynamic horizontal dotted line ema1 & ema8 to help keep momentum in perspective. The most bullish signal is when all colors are in a top-down order 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233. The most bearish signal is when all colors are reversed and have a bottom-up order of 233, 144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1.
A crossover, cross-under, divergence or convergence of these colors, help signal the future price action. For example, green crossing over red is bullish, but green crossing under red is bearish. If colors are low / below the zero line that's bearish and if they are above the zero line, that's bullish. The FibVIP works great as a leading indicator to confirm future price action of the underlying security momentum.

BTC Cap Dominance RSI StrategyThis strategy is based on the BTC Cap Dominance RSI indicator, which is a combination of the RSI of Bitcoin Market Cap and the RSI of Bitcoin Dominance. The concept of this strategy is to get a good grasp of the bitcoin market flow by combining bitcoin dominance as well as bitcoin market cap.
BTC Cap Dominance (BCD) RSI is defined as:
BCD RSI = (BTC Cap RSI + BTC Dominance RSI) / 2
Case 1 (Bull market):
Both Cap RSI and Dominance RSI values are high
Case 2 (Neutral market):
Cap RSI is high but Dominance RSI is low
Cap RSI is low but Dominance RSI is high
Case 3 (Bear market):
Both Cap RSI and Dominance RSI values are low
When the BCD RSI value closes the candle above the Bull level, it triggers a long signal and when the value closes below the Bear level, it triggers a short signal.
(Note) Please note that TradingView's market cap symbols (CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL and CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL2) started in January 2020, so strategy backtesting is possible from this point on.
(Note) Since the real-time BCD RSI value does not come out with this strategy, it is recommended to use it together because the current value can be known and the long-short signal can be predicted in advance by using a separate BCD RSI Index together.
If "Use Combination of dominance RSI ?" is not checked in addition to the recommended default value of the strategy, the recommended values are Length (14), Bull level (74), Bear level (25).

Combo 2/20 EMA & Absolute Price Oscillator (APO) This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This indicator plots 2/20 exponential moving average. For the Mov
Avg X 2/20 Indicator, the EMA bar will be painted when the Alert criteria is met.
Second strategy
The Absolute Price Oscillator displays the difference between two exponential
moving averages of a security's price and is expressed as an absolute value.
How this indicator works
APO crossing above zero is considered bullish, while crossing below zero is bearish.
A positive indicator value indicates an upward movement, while negative readings
signal a downward trend.
Divergences form when a new high or low in price is not confirmed by the Absolute Price
Oscillator (APO). A bullish divergence forms when price make a lower low, but the APO
forms a higher low. This indicates less downward momentum that could foreshadow a bullish
reversal. A bearish divergence forms when price makes a higher high, but the APO forms a
lower high. This shows less upward momentum that could foreshadow a bearish reversal.

[blackcat] L5 Price Positioning Index StrategyLevel: 5
Background
Are you tired of traditional Japanese candlesticks? Do you want to try a new type of candle master chart? This is my private L5 version, which introduces "Market Season Bands" for oversold and overbought status, historical resistance and support arrows in dynamic forms, inherent pyramiding for buy and sell.
Function
L3 Price Positioning Index is totally brand-new candle chart invented by myself. This main chart can provide effective resistance and support levels, and you can see where the price is running at any time. There are 3 key color bands. Blue-Green gredient band is used to indicate oversold support or breakthrough support levels; the color is blue means extreme oversold, green means oversold you can ignore. This band indicates the season of market entering "Winter". The Green-Orange band indicates the midline position where prices may pause; the green color here means bear middle while orange color here means bull middle. Accordingly, middle band color indicates market season entering "Spring or Autumn" . Finally, Pink-Red band indicates overbought resistance or breakthrough resistance levels; the pink color means market season is NOT bullish while the red color indicates it is a good market season to long. top band color indicates the market season entering "Summer". Enjoy your "Summer" with profit!
There are two types of candlestick charts.
The first type candles are mid-to-long-term trend candles, navy represents an uptrend and the length of the candle represents a change in intensity; maroon represents a downward trend and the length of the candle represents a change in intensity. You can find principle in L5 Price Positioning Index code. In L5 version, to simplif the visual effect, the display is hidden. This trend candle is the effective support and resistance level of the second type short-term swing candle.
The second type candles are short-term candles fluctuate around the first medium- and long-term trend candles. The second short-term candle is divided into five colors: green means pump; red means retracement in the ascending process; blue and yellow means bearish rebounce and trend reversal signal; white means dump; blue means price rebound in the descending process. I describe these in raindrop or snow-drop form, which can be quite familar for you to imagine the temperature of the market :).
Key Signal
THREE KEY LINES:
htop --> Pink-Red band, "Market in Summer", overbought resistance or pump breakout threshold
hmid --> Green-Orange band, "Market in Spring or Autumn", price pause zone, sideways may happen here
hbot --> Blue-Green gredient band, "Market in Winter", oversold support or dump breakout threshold
MID-LONG TERM CANDLES:
colorful trend line , it is an important support or resistance for short term price movements and the bull-bear boundary for market seasons.
SHORT TERM CANDLES:
1. bear rebounance --> rebounce in down trend candle with blue color
2. pump --> up trend pump candle with green color
3. trend reversal --> trend reversal candle with yellow color
4. dump --> bearish dump candle with white color
5. bull retracement --> retracement in up trend candle with red
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. Long term trend identification by three lines for overbought, oversold and breakouts
2. Mid term trend support and resistance with a colorful boundary
3. Short term price behaviors are classified into 5 types of candles in blue, green, yellow, red and white
Cons:
I invent this to solve traditional JP candlestick shortcomings. If you find anything on Cons, just feedback to me for improvements.
Remarks
1. This is the strategy version of L5 Price Positioning Index
2. Closed-source, Invite-only, NOT free. (Free version is available by search "L3 Price Positioning Index")
3. Highl recommended to use this indicator for >= 4H timeframe, which means this is powerful for swing trading.
4. IMPORTANT!!! To have superior visual effect, you need to enter "Chart Setting" --> "Symbol" --> TURN OFF "Body", "Borders" and "Wick" of traditional JP candles.

Simple scalping strategy for SOLThis is a simple scalping strategy for trading SOL made on top of the Rebalance Oscillator and the Rebalance Bear/Bull market indicators.
It is intended mostly as proof that these two indicators have their benefits even in simpler strategies.
This strategy in particular works well for the Bear months (check Nov. in the data window) but considerably underperforms Buy&Hold for the Bull months.
It tries to do a market operation per candle whenever the candle happens in a buy/sell trading window of the
Rebalance Bear/Bull indicator ().
It always buys/sells the same amount by default (you can set it in the cog menu in the option "Base Crypto Amount To Trade"),
for SOL this is set to 1.0SOL.
This is my first attempt at scalping, it differs slightly from the standards because it does not require fast
response candles or immediate market operations (it can work well with limit trading) and on top of this it also
does not require a stop loss since it uses an indicator that provides the trading windows (surprises can still happen though).
The profit that this strategy tries to take for each buy/sell pair is not configurable and is set at 12% each way when it happens.

The Very First Scalping/Intraday Trading Algo for Options
Note: If you have any favorite indicators that you use regularly and are helpful, feel free to use them in conjunction to this strategy.
Legend:
long = buy call
short = buy put
close entry = sell call/put
BULL = bullish engulfing
BEAR = bearish engulfing
OS = oversold
OB = overbought
Instructions:
1. You can choose to watch the 3 minute or 5 minute chart but be aware of the Pro’s and Con’s. It’s not recommended to use this strategy on the 1 minute chart, but this works on higher timeframes. Keep in mind that the signals will vary on each timeframe.
3 minute 5 minute
i.ibb.co i.ibb.co
2. It’s best to use this strategy right at market open. If a “long” (buy CALLS) or “short” (buy PUTS) signal was given at pre-market, I do not recommend taking it. Only take signals once the market opens. If you really wish to take the signal that was given 1-5 minutes before the market opened, you most definitely can, but its’s just riskier. What I would do is, wait 3-10 minutes after market open and if one Moving Average is respecting the other and holding above or below it, you can enter especially if the blow is bullish, the vStrat Algo 1.0 will also tell you if the candles are bearish or bullish. Use your best judgement.
i.ibb.co [
3. You do not have to wait for the exit signal, everyone's risk management is different so take profits whenever you're green or hold as long as the short-term MA is still trending above or below the long-term MA and is not touching or bouncing off it.
i.ibb.co
4. Avoid taking any signals from 11:30 AM ET - 2:30 PM ET, when stocks are trading sideways since the algo’s stop losses get triggered here due to the low volume.
i.ibb.co
5. Lastly, there is no magic indicator or strategy, this algorithm is designed based on multiple conditions. Each signal gets triggered when ALL the conditions are met. This strategy is based off advanced moving averages, one that reduces lag and responds quicker than the simple and exponential ones, RSI value, S/R, pivot points, and a few others. I’m always looking for ways to improve this scalping algorithm so rest assured any complaints or suggestions will be taken and fixed as timely as possible. For best results, avoid trading with your emotions. If you’re a new user, open a small position, set a stop loss, and let the algorithm decide how you will trade it for that day. Keep doing this until you get more familiar with the script then slowly increase your position sizing, but do not invest money you can’t afford to lose. Play with the settings, change the lengths if you wish, but the script was created to provide the most accurate signals as it is. If you do decide to change these inputs, the signals will also be different. Take profits whenever you see fit, the goal is to have a green day and grow your account slowly but surely. If you make a profit, do not risk giving your money back to the market by overtrading. Always do your own due diligence and use your best judgement. Good luck, Traders!

ROC_PA_Strategy (A3Sh)Hi there,
An experiment with rate of price change in combination with price averaging. The strategy is inspired by Price Change Scalping Strategy developed by Prosum Solutions and Scalping Dips On Trend Strategy developed by Coinrule. Both strategies look at the percentage of price change to open orders.
When the price drops beyond a specified percentage, a order entry threshold (yellow line) is setup. The order entry threshold is only active for a specified number of bars and will de-activate when not crossed within the specified number of bars. When the price drops further and crosses the entry threshold with a minimum of a specified percentage, a long position is entered. The same reverse logic (white line) used to close the long position.
I first ran the strategy without stop loss and take profit and that worked very well in a bullish market. I later added stop loss and take profit and that seems to work better in a side ways or bearisch market. There are a lot of tweaking possibilities in the settings.
In the settings you can specify the percentage of portfolio to use for each trade to spread the risk and for each order a trading fee of 0.075% is calculated.
Swing Trader-Pro V2The strategy- what is it?
This indicator is designed from a theory created by myself in order to distinguish a correction from an impulse. This comes down to the ability to compare "x" range of candles to "y" range of candles and highlight key differences to then correctly portray that the most recent move in price will be (or is) a correction.
Following this theory, we all understand that corrections don't go with the trend right? So this means at some point, there is a high probability of a rejection somewhere in this most recent move, that will ultimately push price higher or lower as it continues back with the trend. Therefore, through extensive quantitative research and back-testing, we are able to highlight areas of high-probability rejections within these supposed corrections.
How does it work?
Firstly, we need to establish a high and low point (using pivots ) that help us decide what the state is of the recent move between the high and low (we call this "point A" and "point B"). So we can only consider whether the recent move in price was an impulse or a correction until the move from "point B" to "point C" is made. But before that, once we have identified "Point A" and "point B", we use 2 (supposedly) strong levels which help integrate a box onscreen and thus, indicate this area of high liquidity. This box will continue to adjust according to the change of pivots (if price keeps creating HH's & HL's or LH's & LL's depending on market trend). But if we establish a strong high and low and price stays within this range, then the box will remain in place.
The default color of the box is red; the only time the color of the box will change is when:
- Price retraces from the high/low back to the box (price has to touch the box)
AND
-If any of our confirmations indicate a successful correction based on our theory.
So the box color varies:
- Red = very weak (or) no entry = no confirmations were made
- Yellow = weak entry = some but not all confirmations were made
- Green = strong entry = all confirmations have indicated that the move from "point B" to "point C" (remember that "point C" is where the box is) is a correction when compared with the move from "point A" to "point B"
These confirmations are all validated on the same candle during live candle activity (not when the candle has closed on the box). As this happens, the confirmations will determine the state of entry quality as soon as price touches the box.
In this time, we will see a new orange label highlighting what indicators have confirmed a successful correction and what haven't.
The label shows the different confirmation indicators in which we have provided different names (as this is the secret we intend to keep). So we have:
- "CC"
- "B1/B2"
- "B3"
Usually, we will see either an "OK" or "NOT OK" next to each confirmation indicator. This just tells us whether they have confirmed or not. Please note that this "point C" label does not stay permanently, regardless of the state of entry quality. The label will in fact stay on the screen until the next box has been generated, which is usually a few candles after the entry has been triggered.
Entries, SL's and TP's
This indicator shows the user an area of high-probability rejection. So in terms of specifying a precise entry, you're completely free to enter on the following:
- the moment price touches the box (depending on what color it is of course)
- the other end of the box (if you would like to catch a "sniper entry")
- or if price pierces the entire box and is still green, you can wait to see if price comes back through the box (which indicates a false breakout).
As for Stop-losses, i would recommend:
- Long entries: set your SL at the recent low (this should be "point A")
- Short entries: set your SL to the recent high (this should be "point A" as well, because if you're switching from the "long entry" setting to the "short entry" setting, the indicator labels flip around and are the opposite of what they are for long entries).
For Take profits, this is entirely up to the user. Because some entries will allow you to have great RR ratios depending on how you manage the active trades. Some recommendations below:
- Set TP to "point B" pivot
- Use trailing stop function or something similar if available
- Add other indicators such as the RSI and close when price reaches key levels
- When price shows signs of exhaustion or early stages of reversal then just close
Additional information and recommendations
- This works on any time frame and on any financial market, whether you prefer Forex, stocks, crypto, commodities , etc.
- In regards to trade direction, you can change in the settings to look for either long or short positions in the market. I would recommend using it in favor of the overall trend of the markets because you will find a lot better entries. Although, this does work against the trend at times as well. Additionally, this tool also works in consolidating markets which is beneficial.
- After becoming used to the script, i would say to apply it twice to your screen and have one looking for Long entries and the other looking for Short entries.
- As the user, you have the ability to remove the labels in the parameter settings (because it does look quite messy onscreen, especially if you have both long and short entries on at the same time). I would only personally show the labels when price hits the current box to see what confirmations have been identified.
- I will also provide the best parameters to use. You will only need one set of parameters for each long and short setting, as these parameters are universal for any time frame and any financial market.
FIRST UPDATE
After extensive back testing using our first version, we found that in fact, there are some great opportunities being wasted as the entry box stays red. This is due to some series of market structure that don't always fit our theory of continuations within the market. We found that although our theory is accurate, the amount of times the market fits this is more rare than times when price follows sequences. When we look for sequences in the market instead of specifying differences between impulses and corrections, we actually see areas of serious repetitiveness, thanks to how our indicator initially generates. Not how it confirms. So, understanding this new theory through one component of our previous indicator, we are still able to keep boxes at the same area yet accurately confirm more profitable entries external to our full previous strategy.
Moving towards the practical side of things:
-Make sure "add extra confirmation" parameter is selected, as this will allow the indicator to search for more valid entries rather than just our normal confirmations. (this is a tick box).
- Default parameters are already set for both C1 and C2
In a simple sense, this update is added to find more confirmations to turn more red boxes into green boxes based on other theories outside of our original one. How we do this exactly is part of the mystery.
SECOND UPDATE
- Fibonacci based moving average: using elements of the Fibonacci sequence and its relevance to being a hot-spot in price activity, we have integrated this into a moving average which is stronger than your usual MA. Here, you will notice it showing stronger signs of rejecting price, especially when trending. Hence, this is extremely useful to implement into your strategy as part of the trend identification. When price is consolidating, depending on how volatile or close-in the waves are during these periods, the FMA is similar to your typical MA, so therefore not so good. But the overall intention of this is to enhance your conclusion to whether price is trending and whether price is bullish or bearish.
- This is now a strategy, not just an indicator: So now we can choose from a huge variety of parameters in accordance to what ones work best with what pair, or time frame. The typical parameters to change would be the entry points, stop losses and take profits. We have also added in a "SL to entry" option. ALL PARAMETERS ARE FIBONACCI LEVELS AS THIS MAKES IT UNIVERSAL TO ANY PAIR/ TIME FRAME.
- Move the entry boxes : So this is very useful for certain pairs and mainly to help the user understand key sequences on a quantitative level. Sometimes we can notice that pairs spike higher than the typical entry (0.618) so we have allowed flexibility to the point where you can alter the box appearance to either the 0.618 level (default), 0.786 and the 0.9 level.
- Back-testing: Now the user can back-test the strategy and see the performance within any financial market you add this to! Please note that according to the strategy, once a trade is placed, it wont enter any more trades when the current one is still active. I have requested to change this, but it is out of our development team's reach. However, this doesn't discredit what the system can help you achieve, as you will still be able to find profitable parameters within the financial markets.

Rosebud Trend Backtest [DepthHouse]*Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results*
*Strategy created for backtesting purposes only.
*Backtesting assesses the viability of a trading strategy or pricing model by discovering how it would have played out retrospectively using historical data.
* Please be sure to read all updates below as the information below could change with future updates.
Rosebud Trend Indicator uses complex range calculations to easily detect trend changes, critical support and resistance levels, and even aid in spotting reversals. The Critical Support & Resistance Zones are plotted via the red and green cloud. This cloud not only visually displays the expected trend direction but often acts as major support and resistance zones. The outer band measures the expected range in which the assets trade over longer periods of time.
The Rosebud Trend Backtest combines the calculations of the ATR Auto Oscillator & the Rosebud Trend Indicator to demonstrate backtest performance.
// Settings //
Users can switch the ‘ Trend Sensitivity ’ between ‘ Low ', ' Med ', and ‘ High ’ to increase or decrease the rate at which the cloud changes.
By altering the S/R Band Thickness users can furthermore increase or decrease the rate at which a trend changes by altering the thickness of the cloud. Default is .50 however this can be lowered if needed.
Bar colors are generated by a combination of Rosebuds primary function and our ATR AUTO Oscillator base functions. Users have 3 bar color options to select from: Simple, Complex, and Off.
Simple: Bars colors alternate between shades of red and green based on the trend direction and the ATR Auto strength. The stronger the shade, the stronger the trend.
Complex: This adds a few extra variables to the script which generates a more complex bar color display. Using this option, Rosebud will generate light red bars in a bull trend if downward movement is strong and vice versa in a bear trend. It also will generate a purple bar if the candle successfully closes above or below the Top & Bottom Range Bands; We call this a range break, and it could be an early sign of strong upward or downward movement.
Off: In case you like to keep things even simpler, this option hides all overlay bar colors.
ATR Options: Used for Light & Strong Entries/Exits // Bar Colors also based on these settings
ATR Smoothed Signal Option: Turns advance smoothing on or off. On will reduce signal noise, while Off could land you that perfect bottom signal with a lower success rate.
ATR Candlestick Length: Default factor for bar color and shape generation, the higher the number the fewer signals that will generate.
ATR Candlestick Smoothing: Default smoothing for the Candlestick Length
Signal Lookback: Adjust the factor at which Bull, Bear, Up, and Down. Lower this to 2 for more signals.
// ⇅ BackTest Settings ⇅ //
Short Trading: Option to see backtest results for both long and short positions. Default is Long Only.
Strategy Entry Options:
Trend Only: Positions are entered right as there is a cloud trend change.
Light Entry: This enters a trade as soon as there is a breakout or breakdown signal generated from the ATR settings.
Strong Entry: Multiple conditions must be met; Price action must be near the Trend Base and must receive either a bullish or bearish crossover in the oversold or overbought range of the ATR Settings.
Strategy Exit Options:
Trend Only: Exits all positions after there is a primary trend change.
Light Exit: Exits a user set percentage of open positions when the ATR generates a breakdown or breakout. Will continue to do this at each occurrence. Presets are built in to keep these from triggering too often in volatile conditions.
Strong Exit: Exits a user set percentage of open positions when the ATR generates a bullish or bearish crossover in the overbought or oversold ranges. Will continue to do this with each occurrence. Presets are built in to keep these from triggering too often in volatile conditions.
Profit Points: Exits a set percentage of the position up to 3 times at a user set percentage gap from the entry. Any remaining amount in the position exits upon a trend change.
Profit QTY Percent: Percent of the position to exit when an exit condition triggers. This does not apply to the “Trend Only” exit option.
Profit Percent Gap: Percent gap for Profit Point Exits. Recommend adjusting based on timeframe. See example below.
