[MV] %B with SMA + Volume Based Colored Bars
Entry Signal when %B Crosses with SMA and this is more meaningful if it supports colored bars.
Black Bar when prices go down and volume is bigger than 150% of its average, that indicates us price action is supported by a strong bearish volume
Blue Bar when prices go up and volume bigger than 150% of its average, that indicates us price action is supported by a strong bullish volume

EMA Candle ColorEMA Candle Color - Visual EMA-Based Candle Coloring System
Overview:
This indicator provides a visual approach to trend identification by coloring candles based on their relationship with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The script dynamically colors both the candle bars and plots custom candles to give traders an immediate visual representation of price momentum relative to the EMA.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates an EMA based on your chosen source (default: open price) and length (default: 10 periods). It then applies a simple yet effective rule:
When the source price is ABOVE the EMA → Candles turn GREEN (bullish)
When the source price is BELOW the EMA → Candles turn RED (bearish)
This instant visual feedback helps traders quickly identify:
Current trend direction
Potential support/resistance levels (the EMA line itself)
Momentum shifts when candles change color
Key Features:
Customizable EMA Parameters: Adjust the EMA length (1-500) and source (open, close, high, low, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4)
Custom Color Selection: Choose your preferred bullish and bearish colors to match your chart theme
Dual Visualization: Both bar coloring and custom plotcandle for enhanced visibility
Offset Capability: Shift the EMA line forward or backward for advanced analysis
Clean Design: Minimal overlay that doesn't clutter your chart
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust the EMA Length based on your trading timeframe:
- Shorter periods (5-20) for day trading and scalping
- Medium periods (20-50) for swing trading
- Longer periods (50-200) for position trading
3. Watch for candle color changes as potential entry/exit signals
4. Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Trading Applications:
Trend Following: Stay in trades while candles remain the same color
Reversal Signals: Watch for color changes as early reversal warnings
Filter System: Only take long positions during green candles, shorts during red
Visual Clarity: Quickly assess market sentiment at a glance
Settings:
Length: EMA calculation period (default: 10)
Source: Price data used for EMA calculation (default: open)
Offset: Shift EMA line on chart (default: 0)
Bullish Color: Color for candles above EMA (default: green)
Bearish Color: Color for candles below EMA (default: red)
Technical Details:
The script uses Pine Script v6 and employs the standard ta.ema() function for smooth, responsive EMA calculations. The candle coloring is achieved through both barcolor() and plotcandle() functions, ensuring visibility across different chart settings.
Note:
This indicator works on all timeframes and instruments. For best results, combine with proper risk management and additional confirmation indicators. The EMA Candle Color system is designed to simplify trend identification, not as a standalone trading system.
Tips:
Use on higher timeframes for more reliable signals
Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
Consider using multiple EMA periods for confluence
Disable default candles if using the plotcandle feature to avoid overlap
This script is open-source. Feel free to use it as a foundation for your own trading system or modify it to suit your specific trading style.

FibLevel Size CalculatorThis skript calculates position sizes and new take profits for sizing into an long or short position with 3 entrys defined at custom fibonacci retracement levels.
TP: -0,272
Entry1: 0.382
Entry2: 0.618
Entry3: 0.83
SL: 1.05
Expected RR per trade is 0.2 with a High Win rate definitly profitable.
Search for an established trend on the higher timeframe, drop to the smaller ones and look for correction waves. Once they break to the trenddirection of the higher timeframe take the fib from lowest to highes point. Draw a fib level on the chart and use the Indicator to define these Levels above. The calculator gives you the Margin to use in each position, and will check that you will not get liquidated an that you have enough margin. It tells you the new TP for Limit2 and Limit3 if they get hit so you can get out of the trade full TP with a small bounce.
Inputs:
Account Balance, Risk Percentage, and Leverage: These inputs are used to calculate the position size and risk.
Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3, Take Profit (TP), and Stop Loss (SL): These prices are used for calculating position sizes, risk, and profit for up to three entry points.
Calculations:
Risk Amount: Calculated based on the account balance and risk percentage.
Position Sizes (Qty): For each entry point, the position size is determined. The second and third entries have a multiplier (3x for Entry 2, 5x for Entry 3) compared to the first.
Stop Loss and Profit Calculation: The script calculates the potential profit and adjusts the TP levels based on the average entries for Limit 2 and Limit 3.
Margin Calculation: Margin requirements for each position are calculated based on leverage.
Output:
Table Display: A table shows key values like entry prices, position sizes, TP levels, potential profit, and margin requirements for each limit.
Warnings: It includes a liquidation warning and a check for whether the account is at risk of liquidation based on leverage.
Position Type: It automatically detects if the trade is a long or short based on the relationship between TP and SL.
Visualization:
Lines: It draws horizontal lines on the chart to visually represent the entry, TP, and SL levels.
Overall, this script is designed to help traders manage risk and calculate position sizes for multi-level entries using leverage.

1. Understanding the Indicator's Context
The indicator generates signals based on confluence (trend, volume, key zones, etc.), but it does not include predefined SL or TP levels. To establish them, we must:
Use dynamic or static support/resistance levels already present in the script.
Incorporate volatility (such as ATR) to adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Define a risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
2. Options for Determining SL and TP
Below, I provide several ideas based on the tools available in the script:
Stop Loss (SL)
The SL should protect you from adverse movements. You can base it on:
ATR (Volatility): Use the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) multiplied by a factor (e.g., 1.5 or 2) to set a dynamic SL.
Buy: SL = Entry Price - (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Sell: SL = Entry Price + (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Key Zones: Place the SL below a support (for buys) or above a resistance (for sells), using Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, or Liquidity Zones.
Buy: SL below the nearest ob_lows or fvg_lows.
Sell: SL above the nearest ob_highs or fvg_highs.
VWAP: Use the daily VWAP (vwap_day) as a critical level.
Buy: SL below vwap_day.
Sell: SL above vwap_day.
Take Profit (TP)
The TP should maximize profits. You can base it on:
Risk/Reward Ratio: Multiply the SL distance by a factor (e.g., 2 or 3).
Buy: TP = Entry Price + (SL Distance * 2).
Sell: TP = Entry Price - (SL Distance * 2).
Key Zones: Target the next resistance (for buys) or support (for sells).
Buy: TP at the next ob_highs, fvg_highs, or liq_zone_high.
Sell: TP at the next ob_lows, fvg_lows, or liq_zone_low.
Ichimoku: Use the cloud levels (Senkou Span A/B) as targets.
Buy: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is higher).
Sell: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is lower).
3. Practical Implementation
Since the script does not automatically draw SL/TP, you can:
Calculate them manually: Observe the chart and use the levels mentioned.
Modify the code: Add SL/TP as labels (label.new) at the moment of the signal.
Here’s an example of how to modify the code to display SL and TP based on ATR with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio:
Modified Code (Signals Section)
Find the lines where the signals (trade_buy and trade_sell) are generated and add the following:
pinescript
// Calculate SL and TP based on ATR
atr_sl_mult = 1.5 // Multiplier for SL
atr_tp_mult = 3.0 // Multiplier for TP (1:2 ratio)
sl_distance = atr_smooth * atr_sl_mult
tp_distance = atr_smooth * atr_tp_mult
if trade_buy
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price - sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price + tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, low, "Buy: " + str.tostring(math.round(bull_conditions, 1)), color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
if trade_sell
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price + sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price - tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, high, "Sell: " + str.tostring(math.round(bear_conditions, 1)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
Code Explanation
SL: Calculated by subtracting/adding sl_distance to the entry price (close) depending on whether it’s a buy or sell.
TP: Calculated with a double distance (tp_distance) for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Visualization: Labels are added to the chart to display SL (red) and TP (blue).
4. Practical Strategy Without Modifying the Code
If you don’t want to modify the script, follow these steps manually:
Entry: Take the trade_buy or trade_sell signal.
SL: Check the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) on the chart or calculate a fixed level (e.g., 1.5 times the ATR). Also, review nearby key zones (OB, FVG, VWAP).
TP: Define a target based on the next key zone or multiply the SL distance by 2 or 3.
Example:
Buy at 100, ATR = 2.
SL = 100 - (2 * 1.5) = 97.
TP = 100 + (2 * 3) = 106.
5. Recommendations
Test in Demo: Apply this logic in a demo account to adjust the multipliers (atr_sl_mult, atr_tp_mult) based on the market (forex or crypto).
Combine with Zones: If the ATR-based SL is too wide, use the nearest OB or FVG as a reference.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Adjust the TP based on your tolerance (1:1, 1:2, 1:3)
AI Strat ATR Dinamico + ADX + Trend Adaptivo (No Repaint)Below is a fully self-contained, English-language description of every input, function, and logical block inside the “AI Strat ATR Dinamico + ADX + Trend Adaptivo (No Repaint)” indicator. You can copy and paste this into TradingView’s “Description” field when you publish, without exposing any Pine code.
---
## Indicator Name and Purpose
**Name (Short Title):**
AI Strat Adaptive v3 (NoRepaint)
**Overview:**
This indicator combines multiple technical tools—RSI, EMA, ATR (with a dynamic multiplier), ADX/DI, and an “AI‐style” scoring mechanism—to generate trend-filtered and reversal signals. It also optionally confirms signals on a higher timeframe, dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on volatility, and plots intrabar stop‐loss (SL) and take‐profit (TP) levels derived from ATR. Special care has been taken to ensure that no signals “repaint” (i.e., once drawn on a closed bar, they never disappear or shift).
---
## 1. Main Inputs
All of the inputs appear in the Settings dialog for the published indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of each input, grouped by logical category.
### A. RSI & EMA Base Parameters
1. **RSI Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 14)
* **Description:** Number of bars used to calculate the Relative Strength Index (RSI). A shorter RSI reacts more quickly to price changes; a longer RSI is smoother.
2. **RSI Overbought Threshold**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 60)
* **Description:** If the RSI value rises above this level, it contributes a “sell” signal component. You can adjust this (e.g., 70) to make your system more conservative.
3. **RSI Oversold Threshold**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 40)
* **Description:** If the RSI falls below this level, it contributes a “buy” signal component. Raising this threshold (e.g., 50) makes the strategy more aggressive in seeking reversals.
4. **EMA Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 20)
* **Description:** Number of bars for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). A shorter EMA will produce more frequent crossovers, a longer EMA is smoother.
### B. ATR & Volatility Filter Parameters
5. **ATR Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 14)
* **Description:** Number of bars to calculate Average True Range (ATR). The ATR is used both for measuring volatility and for dynamic SL/TP levels.
6. **ATR SMA Length**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 50)
* **Description:** Number of bars to compute a Simple Moving Average of the ATR itself. This gives a baseline of “normal” volatility. If ATR rises significantly above this SMA, the indicator treats the market as “high volatility.”
7. **ATR Multiplier Base**
* **Input type:** Float (default 1.2, step 0.1)
* **Description:** Base multiplier for ATR when filtering for volatility. The actual threshold is computed as `ATR_SMA × (ATR_Multiplier Base) × sqrt(current_ATR / ATR_SMA)`. In other words, the multiplier becomes larger if volatility is rising, and smaller if volatility is falling.
8. **Disable Volatility Filter**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default false)
* **Description:** If enabled (true), the indicator will ignore any volatility‐based filtering, using signals regardless of ATR behavior. If disabled (false), signals only fire when ATR > (ATR\_SMA × dynamic multiplier).
### C. Price-Change & “AI Score” Parameters
9. **Price Change Period (bars)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 3)
* **Description:** The number of bars back to measure percentage price change. Used to ensure that a “trend” signal is accompanied by a sufficiently positive (for longs) or negative (for shorts) price movement over this many bars.
10. **Base AI Score Threshold**
* **Input type:** Float (default 0.1)
* **Description:** The indicator computes a composite “AI-style” score by combining the RSI signal (overbought/oversold) and an EMA crossover signal. Only if the absolute value of that composite score exceeds this threshold will a trend signal be eligible. Raising it makes signals rarer but (potentially) higher-conviction.
### D. SMA “ICT” Trend Filter Parameters
11. **ICT SMA Long Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 50)
* **Description:** Number of bars for the “long” Simple Moving Average (SMA) used in the internal trend filter. Typically, price must be above this SMA (and ADX must be strong) to confirm an uptrend, or below it (and ADX strong) to confirm a downtrend.
12. **ICT SMA Short1 Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 10)
* **Description:** Secondary “fast” SMA used both for reversal logic (e.g., price crossing above it can count as a bullish reversal) and part of the internal trend confirmation.
13. **ICT SMA Short2 Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 20)
* **Description:** A second “medium” SMA used for reversal triggers (e.g., crossovers or crossunders alongside RSI conditions).
### E. ADX & DI Parameters
14. **Base ADX Length**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 14)
* **Description:** Number of bars for the ADX (Average Directional Index) moving averages, which measure trend strength. The same length is used for +DI and –DI smoothing.
15. **Base ADX Threshold**
* **Input type:** Float (default 25.0, step 0.5)
* **Description:** If ADX > this threshold and +DI > –DI, we consider an uptrend; if ADX > this threshold and –DI > +DI, we consider a downtrend. Raising this value demands stronger trends to qualify.
### F. Sensitivity & Cooldown
16. **Sensitivity (0–1)**
* **Input type:** Float between 0.0 and 1.0 (default 0.5)
* **Description:** A general “mixture” parameter used internally to weight how aggressively the indicator leans into trend versus reversal. In practice, the code uses it to fine-tune exact thresholds for switching between trend and reversal conditions. You can leave it at 0.5 unless you want to bias more heavily toward either regime.
17. **Base Cooldown Bars Between Signals**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 5, min 0)
* **Description:** Once a long or short signal fires, the indicator will wait at least this many bars before allowing a new signal in the same direction. Prevents “signal flipping” on each bar. A higher number forces fewer, more spaced-out entries.
18. **Trend Confirmation Bars**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 3, min 1)
* **Description:** After the directional filters (+DI/–DI cross, price vs. SMA), the indicator still requires that price remains on the same side of the long SMA for at least this many consecutive bars before confirming “trend up” or “trend down.” Larger values smooth out false breakouts but may lag signals.
### G. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
19. **Use Higher Timeframe Confirmation**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default true)
* **Description:** If true, the indicator will request a block of values (SMA, +DI, –DI, ADX) from a higher timeframe (default 60 minutes) and require that the higher timeframe is also in agreement (strong uptrend or strong downtrend) before confirming your current-timeframe trend. This helps filter out lower-timeframe noise.
20. **Higher Timeframe (TF) for Confirmation**
* **Input type:** Timeframe (default “60”)
* **Description:** The chart timeframe (e.g., 5, 15, 60 minutes) whose trend conditions must also be true. It’s sent through a `request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off)` call so that it never “paints ahead.”
### H. Dynamic TP/SL Parameters
21. **TP as ATR Multiple**
* **Input type:** Float (default 2.0, step 0.1)
* **Description:** When a trade is open, the “take-profit” price is determined by looking at the highest high (for longs) or lowest low (for shorts) observed since entry, and then plotting a cross (“X”) at that level when the trend finally flips. This is purely for display. However, separate from that, this parameter can be adapted if you want a strictly ATR–based TP. In the “Minimal” version, TP is ≈ (highest high) once trend inverts, but you could rewrite it to use `entry_price + ATR×TP_Multiplier`.
22. **SL as ATR Multiple**
* **Input type:** Float (default 1.0, step 0.1)
* **Description:** While in a trade, a trailing SL line is plotted each bar. Its value is always `entry_price ± (ATR × SL_Multiplier)`. When the trend inverts, the SL no longer updates, and you see it on the chart.
### I. Display and Mode Options
23. **Show Debug Lines**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default true)
* **Description:** When enabled, the indicator will plot all intermediate lines—ATR SMA, ATR Threshold, +DI, –DI, ADX (current and HTF), HTF SMA, etc.—so that you can diagnose exactly what’s happening. Turn this off to hide all debug information and only see entry/exit shapes.
24. **Enable Scalping Mode**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default false)
* **Description:** If true, many of the “base” parameters are halved (e.g., RSI length becomes 7 instead of 14, ATR length becomes 7 instead of 14, ADX length becomes 7, etc.), and the ADX threshold is multiplied by 0.8. This makes all oscillators and moving averages more reactive, suited for very short-term (scalping) setups.
---
## 2. Core Calculation Blocks
Below is a high-level description of each logical block (in code order), translated from Pine into conceptual steps.
### A. Adjust Inputs if “Scalping Mode” Is On
If **Scalping Mode** = true, then:
* `RSI_Length` becomes `max(1, round(Base_RSI_Length / 2))`
* `EMA_Length` becomes `max(1, round(Base_EMA_Length / 2))`
* `ATR_Length` becomes `max(1, round(Base_ATR_Length / 2))`
* `Price_Change_Period` becomes `max(1, round(Base_Price_Change_Period / 2))`
* `SMA_Long_Length`, `SMA_Short1_Length`, and `SMA_Short2_Length` are each halved (minimum 1).
* `ADX_Length` = `max(1, round(Base_ADX_Length / 2))`
* `ADX_Threshold` = `Base_ADX_Threshold × 0.8`
* `Cooldown_Bars` = `max(0, round(Base_Cooldown_Bars / 2))`
Otherwise, all adjusted lengths = their base values.
### B. RSI, EMA & “AI Score” on Current Timeframe
1. **Compute RSI:**
* Uses the (possibly adjusted) `RSI_Length`.
* Denote this as `RSI_Value`.
2. **Compute ATR & Its SMA:**
* `ATR_Value` = `ta.atr(ATR_Length)`.
* `ATR_SMA` = `ta.sma(ATR_Value, ATR_SMA_Length)`.
* Then define `Volatility_Increase` = (`ATR_Value > ATR_SMA`).
* If the volatility has increased, the weighting of RSI vs. EMA changes.
3. **Compute Weights:**
* If `Volatility_Increase == true`, then:
* `RSI_Weight = 0.7`
* `EMA_Weight = 0.3`
* Otherwise:
* `RSI_Weight = 0.3`
* `EMA_Weight = 0.7`
4. **RSI Signal Component (`RSI_Sig`):**
* If `RSI_Value > RSI_Overbought`, then `RSI_Sig = –1`.
* Else if `RSI_Value < RSI_Oversold`, then `RSI_Sig = +1`.
* Otherwise, `RSI_Sig = 0`.
5. **EMA Value & Signal Component (`EMA_Sig`):**
* `EMA_Value` = `ta.ema(close, EMA_Length)`.
* `EMA_Sig = +1` if the current close crosses **above** the EMA; `EMA_Sig = –1` if the current close crosses **below** the EMA; else `0`.
6. **Compute Raw “AI Score”:**
$$
Raw\_AI = (RSI\_Sig \times RSI\_Weight)\;+\;(EMA\_Sig \times EMA\_Weight)
$$
Then,
$$
AI\_Score = \frac{Raw\_AI}{(RSI\_Weight + EMA\_Weight)}
$$
(This normalization ensures the score always ranges between –1 and +1 if both weights sum to 1.)
### C. Dynamic ATR Multiplier & Volatility Filter
1. **Volatility Factor:**
$$
Volatility\_Factor = \frac{ATR\_Value}{ATR\_SMA}
$$
2. **Dynamic ATR Multiplier:**
$$
ATR\_Multiplier = ATR\_Multiplier\_Base \times \sqrt{Volatility\_Factor}
$$
3. **High Volatility Condition (`High_Volatility`):**
* If `Disable_Volatility_Filter == true`, then treat `High_Volatility = true` always.
* Else, `High_Volatility = (ATR_Value > ATR_SMA × ATR_Multiplier)`.
### D. Price Change Percentage
* **Compute Price Change:**
$$
Price\_Change = \frac{(Close - Close )}{Close } \times 100
$$
* This is the percent return from `Price_Change_Period` bars ago to now.
* For a valid long‐trend signal, we require `Price_Change > 0`; for a short trend, `Price_Change < 0`.
### E. Local SMAs for Trend/Reversal Filters
* `SMA_Close_Long` = `ta.sma(close, SMA_Long_Length)`.
* `SMA_Close_Short1` = `ta.sma(close, SMA_Short1_Length)`.
* `SMA_Close_Short2` = `ta.sma(close, SMA_Short2_Length)`.
These three SMAs help define the “local trend” and reversal breakout points:
* **Primary Trend Filter:**
* Price must be above `SMA_Close_Long` for an uptrend filter, or below `SMA_Close_Long` for a downtrend filter.
* **Reversal Filter:**
* A bullish reversal is detected if **(RSI < Oversold AND close crosses above EMA)** OR **(RSI < Oversold AND close crosses above SMA\_Close\_Short1)**.
* A bearish reversal is detected if **(RSI > Overbought AND close crosses below EMA)** OR **(RSI > Overbought AND close crosses below SMA\_Close\_Short1)**.
### F. Manual +DI, –DI & ADX on Current Timeframe
Instead of relying on the built-in `ta.adx`, the script calculates DI and ADX manually. This makes it easier to replicate the exact logic on a higher timeframe via `request.security`. The steps are:
1. **Directional Movement (DM) Components:**
* `Up_Move` = `high – high `
* `Down_Move` = `low – low`
* `Plus_DM` = `Up_Move` if (`Up_Move > Down_Move` AND `Up_Move > 0`), else `0`
* `Minus_DM` = `Down_Move` if (`Down_Move > Up_Move` AND `Down_Move > 0`), else `0`
2. **True Range (TR) Components:**
* `TR1` = `high – low`
* `TR2` = `abs(high – close )`
* `TR3` = `abs(low – close )`
* `True_Range` = `max(TR1, TR2, TR3)`
3. **Smoothed Averages (RMA):**
* `Sm_TR` = `ta.rma(True_Range, ADX_Length)`
* `Sm_Plus` = `ta.rma(Plus_DM, ADX_Length)`
* `Sm_Minus`= `ta.rma(Minus_DM, ADX_Length)`
4. **Compute DI%:**
$$
Plus\_DI = \frac{Sm\_Plus}{Sm\_TR} \times 100,\quad
Minus\_DI = \frac{Sm\_Minus}{Sm\_TR} \times 100
$$
5. **DX and ADX:**
$$
DX = \frac{|Plus\_DI - Minus\_DI|}{Plus\_DI + Minus\_DI} \times 100,\quad
ADX = ta.rma(DX, ADX_Length)
$$
These values are referred to as `(plus_di, minus_di, adx_val)` for the current timeframe.
---
## 3. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Confirmation Function
If **Use Higher Timeframe Confirmation** is enabled, the script calls a single helper (Pine) function `f_htf` with two parameters: the ADX length and the SMA length (both taken from the “base” or “scaled” values). Internally, `f_htf` simply reruns the manual DI/ADX logic (same as above) on the higher timeframe’s bar data, and also includes that timeframe’s closing price and its SMA for trend comparison.
* **Request.Security Call:**
```
= request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
higher_tf,
f_htf(adx_length, sma_long_len),
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
)
```
* `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off` ensures that no HTF value “paints” early; you always see only confirmed HTF bars.
* The returned tuple provides:
1. `ht_close` = HTF closing price
2. `ht_sma` = HTF SMA of length `sma_long_len`
3. `ht_pdi` = HTF +DI percentage
4. `ht_mdi` = HTF –DI percentage
5. `ht_adx` = HTF ADX value
---
## 4. Trend & Reversal Filters (Current & HTF)
### A. Current-Timeframe Trend Filter
1. **Uptrend\_Basic (Current TF)**
$$
(plus\_di > minus\_di)\;\land\;(adx\_val > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(close > SMA\_Close\_Long)
$$
2. **Downtrend\_Basic (Current TF)**
$$
(minus\_di > plus\_di)\;\land\;(adx\_val > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(close < SMA\_Close\_Long)
$$
3. **Trend Confirmation by Bars:**
* `Bars_Since_Below` = number of bars since `close <= SMA_Close_Long`.
* `Bars_Since_Above` = number of bars since `close >= SMA_Close_Long`.
* If `Uptrend_Basic == true` AND `Bars_Since_Below ≥ Trend_Confirmation_Bars` → mark `Uptrend_Confirm = true`.
* If `Downtrend_Basic == true` AND `Bars_Since_Above ≥ Trend_Confirmation_Bars` → mark `Downtrend_Confirm = true`.
### B. Reversal Filters (Current TF)
1. **Bullish Reversal (`Rev_Bullish`):**
* If `(RSI < RSI_Oversold AND close crosses above EMA_Value)` OR
`(RSI < RSI_Oversold AND close crosses above SMA_Close_Short1)`
→ then `Rev_Bullish = true`.
2. **Bearish Reversal (`Rev_Bearish`):**
* If `(RSI > RSI_Overbought AND close crosses below EMA_Value)` OR
`(RSI > RSI_Overbought AND close crosses below SMA_Close_Short1)`
→ then `Rev_Bearish = true`.
### C. Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter (HTF)
1. **HTF Uptrend (`HT_Uptrend`):**
$$
(ht\_pdi > ht\_mdi)\;\land\;(ht\_adx > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(ht\_close > ht\_sma)
$$
2. **HTF Downtrend (`HT_Downtrend`):**
$$
(ht\_mdi > ht\_pdi)\;\land\;(ht\_adx > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(ht\_close < ht\_sma)
$$
3. **Combine Current & HTF:**
* If **Use\_HTF\_Confirmation == true**, then:
* `Uptrend_Confirm := Uptrend_Confirm AND HT_Uptrend`
* `Downtrend_Confirm := Downtrend_Confirm AND HT_Downtrend`
* Otherwise, just use the current timeframe’s `Uptrend_Confirm` and `Downtrend_Confirm`.
4. **Define `CurrentTrend` (Integer):**
* `CurrentTrend = +1` if `Uptrend_Confirm == true`.
* `CurrentTrend = –1` if `Downtrend_Confirm == true`.
* Otherwise, `CurrentTrend = 0`.
5. **Reset “One Trade Per Trend”:**
* There is a persistent variable `LastTradeTrend`.
* Every time `CurrentTrend` flips (i.e., `CurrentTrend != CurrentTrend `), the code sets `LastTradeTrend := 0`.
* That allows one new entry once the detected trend has changed.
---
## 5. One‐Time “Cooldown” Logic
* **`LastSignalBar`**
* A persistent integer (initially undefined).
* After each confirmed long or short entry, `LastSignalBar` is set to the bar index where that signal fired.
* **`Bars_Since_Signal`**
* If `LastSignalBar` is undefined, treat as a very large number (so that initial signals are always allowed).
* Otherwise, `Bars_Since_Signal = bar_index – LastSignalBar`.
* **Cooldown Check:**
* A new long (or short) can only be generated if `(Bars_Since_Signal > Signal_Cooldown)`.
* This prevents multiple signals in rapid succession.
---
## 6. Entry Conditions (No Repaint)
All of the conditions below are calculated “intrabar,” but the script only actually registers a **signal** on **bar close** (`barstate.isconfirmed`) so that signals never repaint.
### A. Trend‐Based “Raw” Conditions
1. **Trend\_Long\_Raw:**
$$
(AI\_Score > AI\_Score\_Threshold)\;\land\;Uptrend\_Confirm\;\land\;High\_Volatility\;\land\;(Price\_Change > 0)
$$
2. **Trend\_Short\_Raw:**
$$
(AI\_Score < -AI\_Score\_Threshold)\;\land\;Downtrend\_Confirm\;\land\;High\_Volatility\;\land\;(Price\_Change < 0)
$$
### B. Reversal “Raw” Conditions
1. **Rev\_Long\_Raw:**
$$
Rev\_Bullish\;\land\;(CurrentTrend \neq +1)
$$
2. **Rev\_Short\_Raw:**
$$
Rev\_Bearish\;\land\;(CurrentTrend \neq -1)
$$
### C. Combine Raw Signals
* `Raw_Long = Trend_Long_Raw OR Rev_Long_Raw`.
* `Raw_Short = Trend_Short_Raw OR Rev_Short_Raw`.
### D. Confirmed Long/Short Signal Flags
On each new bar **close** (`barstate.isconfirmed == true`):
* **Long\_Signal\_Confirmed** can fire if:
1. `Raw_Long == true`
2. `LastTradeTrend != +1` (we haven’t already taken a long in this same trend)
3. `Bars_Since_Signal > Signal_Cooldown`
If all three hold, then on this bar close the code sets:
* `Long_Signal = true`
* `LastTradeTrend := +1`
* `LastSignalBar := bar_index`
Otherwise, `Long_Signal := false` on this bar.
* **Short\_Signal\_Confirmed** works the same way but with `Raw_Short`, `LastTradeTrend != -1`, etc.
If triggered, it sets `Short_Signal = true`, `LastTradeTrend := -1`, and `LastSignalBar := bar_index`. Otherwise `Short_Signal := false`.
* **Important:** If the bar is still forming (`else` branch of `barstate.isconfirmed`), then both `Long_Signal` and `Short_Signal` are forced to `false`. This guarantees that no shape or alert appears until the bar actually closes.
---
## 7. Plotting Entry/Exit Shapes
1. **Trend Long Signal (Triangle Up)**
* Condition: `Long_Signal == true` **AND** `Trend_Long_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A small, semi-transparent lime green triangle drawn **below** the bar.
2. **Trend Short Signal (Triangle Down)**
* Condition: `Short_Signal == true` **AND** `Trend_Short_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A small, semi-transparent maroon triangle drawn **above** the bar.
3. **Reversal Long Signal (Circle)**
* Condition: `Long_Signal == true` **AND** `Rev_Long_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A tiny, more transparent green circle drawn **below** the bar.
4. **Reversal Short Signal (Circle)**
* Condition: `Short_Signal == true` **AND** `Rev_Short_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A tiny, more transparent red circle drawn **above** the bar.
Since `Long_Signal` and `Short_Signal` only ever become true at bar close, these shapes are never repainted or removed once drawn.
---
## 8. Unified Alert Message
* As soon as a new bar closes with either `Long_Signal` or `Short_Signal == true`, an alert message is sent:
* If `Long_Signal`, then `alert_msg = "action=BUY"`.
* If `Short_Signal`, then `alert_msg = "action=SELL"`.
* If neither, `alert_msg = ""` (no alert).
* The code calls `alert(alert_msg, freq=alert.freq_once_per_bar)` only if `barstate.isconfirmed` and `alert_msg` is non‐empty. This ensures exactly one alert per confirmed bar, no intrabar pops.
---
## 9. Dynamic TP/SL Logic (Minimal Implementation)
Once a long or short position is “open,” the script tracks these variables:
1. **Persistent Flags and Prices** (all persist between bars until reset):
* `InLong` (Boolean)
* `InShort` (Boolean)
* `Long_Max` (Float)
* `Short_Min` (Float)
* `Entry_Price` (Float)
2. **On Bar Close:**
* If `Long_Signal == true` →
* Set `InLong := true`,
* `Entry_Price := close` of that bar,
* `Long_Max := high ` (last bar’s high, so that we’re not using “future” data).
* If `Short_Signal == true` →
* Set `InShort := true`,
* `Entry_Price := close`,
* `Short_Min := low `.
3. **While `InLong == true`:**
* Continuously update `Long_Max = max(Long_Max, current high)` on each bar (intrabar, but finalized each close).
* Compute a dynamic SL:
$$
SL_{Long} = Entry\_Price - (ATR \times SL\_ATR\_Multiplier).
$$
* If **current trend** flips to non-uptrend (`CurrentTrend != +1`), mark `ExitLong = true`.
* Then the routine plots `TP_Long = Long_Max` as a cross (“X”) at that level.
* Set `InLong := false` so that no further changes to `Long_Max` or `Entry_Price` happen on future bars.
4. **While `InShort == true`:**
* Continuously update `Short_Min = min(Short_Min, current low)`.
* Compute a dynamic SL:
$$
SL_{Short} = Entry\_Price + (ATR \times SL\_ATR\_Multiplier).
$$
* If trend flips to non-downtrend (`CurrentTrend != –1`), mark `ExitShort = true`.
* Then the routine plots `TP_Short = Short_Min`.
* Set `InShort := false` to freeze those values.
5. **Plotting TP/SL if “Show Debug” is On:**
* **TP Shapes:**
* When `ExitLong == true`, plot a solid lime “X” at `TP_Long` (highest high).
* When `ExitShort == true`, plot a solid maroon “X” at `TP_Short` (lowest low).
* **SL Lines:**
* If still `InLong`, draw a thin red line at `SL_Long` on each bar.
* If still `InShort`, draw a thin green line at `SL_Short`.
Thus, your charts visually show the highest‐high take-profit cross for longs, the lowest-low take-profit cross for shorts, and a continuously updating trailing SL until the trend flips. Because all of this is triggered on confirmed bars, nothing “jumps around” after the fact.
---
## 10. Debug‐Only Plot Lines (When Enabled)
When **Show Debug Lines** = true, the indicator will also plot:
1. **ATR SMA (Orange):**
* The simple moving average of ATR over `ATR_SMA_Length`.
2. **ATR Threshold (Yellow):**
* `ATR_SMA × ATR_Multiplier` (the dynamically scaled threshold).
3. **+DI & –DI (Current TF):**
* +DI plotted as a green line, –DI plotted as a red line (opacity \~70%).
4. **ADX (Current TF, Blue):**
* A blue line for the present timeframe’s ADX.
5. **ADX Threshold (Gray):**
* A horizontal gray line showing `ADX_Threshold`.
6. **+DI & –DI (HTF, Darker Colors):**
* If HTF confirmation is on, “HTF +DI” is a greener but more transparent line; “HTF –DI” is a redder but more transparent line.
7. **ADX (HTF, Blue but Transparent):**
* HTF ADX plotted in blue (high transparency).
8. **HTF SMA (Orange, Transparent):**
* The higher timeframe’s SMA (same length as `SMA_Long_Length`), drawn in fainter orange.
9. **Volatility Zone Fill (Yellow Tinted Area):**
* Fills the area between `ATR_SMA` and `ATR_SMA × ATR_Multiplier`.
* Indicates “normal” versus “high‐volatility” regimes.
These debug lines are purely visual aids. Disable them if you want a cleaner chart.
---
## 11. Putting It All Together — Step-By-Step Flow
1. **Read Inputs** (RSI lengths, EMA length, ATR settings, etc.).
2. **Optionally Halve All Lengths** if “Scalping Mode” is checked.
3. **Calculate Current TF Indicators:**
* RSI, ATR, ATR\_SMA, EMA, price change, various SMAs, DI/ADX.
4. **Compute “AI Score”** (weighted sum of RSI and EMA signals).
5. **Compute Dynamic ATR Multiplier** and decide if “High Volatility” is true.
6. **Compute Raw Trend/Reversal Conditions** on the current timeframe (without triggering yet).
7. **Fetch HTF Values** in one `request.security` call (SMAs, DI/ADX).
8. **Combine Current & HTF Trend Filters** to confirm `Uptrend_Confirm` or `Downtrend_Confirm`.
9. **Check Reversal Conditions** (price crossing EMA or SMA short, in overbought/oversold zones).
10. **Enforce “One Trade Per Trend”** (clear `LastTradeTrend` whenever `CurrentTrend` flips).
11. **Enforce Cooldown** (must wait at least `Signal_Cooldown` bars since the prior signal).
12. **On Bar Close:**
* If `Raw_Long` AND not already in a long trend AND cooldown met, then fire `Long_Signal`.
* Else if `Raw_Short` AND not already in a short trend AND cooldown met, then fire `Short_Signal`.
* Otherwise, no new signal on this bar.
13. **Plot Long/Short Entry Shapes** according to whether it was a Trend signal or a Reversal signal.
14. **Send Alert** (“action=BUY” or “action=SELL”) exactly once per confirmed bar.
15. **If New Long/Short Signal, Set `InLong`/`InShort`, Record Entry Price, Initialize `Long_Max`/`Short_Min`.**
16. **While `InLong` is true:** Update `Long_Max = max(previous Long_Max, current high)`. Compute `SL_Long`. If the current trend flips (no longer uptrend), set `ExitLong = true`, plot a “TP X,” and close the position logic.
17. **While `InShort` is true:** Similarly update `Short_Min`, compute `SL_Short`, and if trend flips, set `ExitShort = true`, plot a “TP X,” and close the position logic.
18. **Optionally Display Debug Lines** (ATR SMA, ATR threshold, DI/ADX, HTF DI/ADX, etc.).

## 12. How to Use in TradingView Community
When you publish this indicator to the TradingView community—choosing “Protected” or “Invite-only” visibility—you can paste the above description into the “Description” field. Users will see exactly what each input does, how signals are generated, and what the various plotted lines represent, **without ever seeing the script source**. In this way, the code itself remains hidden but the logic is fully documented.
1. **Go to “Create New Indicator”** on TradingView.
2. **Paste Your Pine Code** (the full indicator script) in the Pine editor and save it.
3. **Set Visibility = Protected** (or Invite-only).
4. **In the “Description” Text Box, paste the entirety of this document** (steps 1–11).
5. **Click “Publish Script.”**
Users who view your indicator will see its name (“AI Strat Adaptive v3 (NoRepaint)”), a list of all inputs (with default values), and the detailed English description above. They can then load it on any chart, adjust inputs, and see the plotted signals, TP/SL lines, and optional debug overlays—without accessing the underlying Pine code.
---
### Summary of Key Points
* **RSI, EMA, ATR, DI/ADX, and “AI Score”** work together to define “trend vs. reversal.”
* **Dynamic volatility filter** uses ATR and ATR\_SMA to adapt the weighting of RSI vs. EMA and decide whether “volatility is high enough” to permit a trend trade.
* **One trade per detected trend** and a **cooldown period** prevent over‐trading.
* **Higher timeframe confirmation** (optional) further filters out noise.
* **No-repaint logic**:
* All signals only appear at bar close (`barstate.isconfirmed`).
* HTF values are fetched with `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off`.
* **Entry shapes** (triangles and circles) clearly mark trend vs. reversal entries.
* **Dynamic TP/SL**: highest‐high (or lowest‐low) since entry is used as TP, ATR×multiplier as SL.
* **Debug mode** (optional) shows every intermediate line for full transparency.
Use this description verbatim (or adapt it slightly for your personal style) when publishing. That way, your community sees exactly how each component works—inputs, functions, filters—while the Pine source code remains private.
ORB Dashboard for the TFLX Strategy# ORB Range/ATR Dashboard - Technical Indicator Description
## Main Function
This indicator analyzes Opening Range Breakout (ORB) patterns by calculating a defined time period and its relation to historical volatility. The indicator combines multiple technical analysis methods and presents results in a configurable dashboard format.
**Purpose:** This indicator automates the manual calculation steps of the TFLX analysis methodology, providing real-time computation of volatility ratios, trend filters, and risk management parameters that would otherwise require manual calculation and monitoring.
## Requirements and Limitations
**Additional Indicator Required:** This dashboard indicator works in conjunction with a separate ORB range visualization indicator that displays the actual high/low range levels on the chart. The dashboard provides analysis and calculations, while the range indicator provides visual reference points.
**Important Notice:** This indicator serves as an analytical tool and calculation assistant for the TFLX methodology. It does not execute trades automatically but provides data analysis to support manual decision-making processes.

**Manual Calculation Process (Automated by Indicator):**
1. Measure range in points using chart measurement tools
2. Switch to daily timeframe
3. Set ATR period to 3
4. Extract previous day's ATR value
5. Calculate: (Range Points ÷ ATR Value) × 100
6. Apply percentage thresholds for analysis
## Core Components and Calculation Methods
### 1. Opening Range Calculation
**Data Source:** High/Low/Close prices of current timeframe
**Calculation:**
- Defines a configurable time period (default: 15 minutes)
- Collects during this period: `range_high = max(high)` and `range_low = min(low)`
- Calculates Range Size: `range_size = range_high - range_low`
- Stores the last close price of the period: `final_orb_close`
### 2. ATR (Average True Range) Integration
**Data Source:** Daily True Range values
**Calculation:**
```
daily_atr = ta.atr(length) // Default 3 periods
atr_yesterday = daily_atr // Previous trading day
```
**Available Methods:** RMA (default), SMA, EMA, WMA
### 3. Volatility Ratio Calculation
**Formula:**
```
ratio = (range_size / atr_yesterday) * 100
```
**Purpose:** Normalization of current range against historical volatility
**Configurable Parameters:** Min/Max thresholds (default: 15-60%)
### 4. Bollinger Bands Integration (1H Timeframe)
**Data Source:** 1-hour chart data via `request.security()`
**Calculation:**
```
bb_ema = ta.ema(close, 200) // 1H timeframe
bb_std = ta.stdev(close, 200) // 1H timeframe
bb_upper = bb_ema + (bb_std * multiplier)
bb_lower = bb_ema - (bb_std * multiplier)
```
**Configurable Multipliers:**
- Neutral Zone: 0.5x standard deviation
- Strong Zone: 1.5x standard deviation
### 5. Trend Filter System (2/3 Method)
**Components:**
1. **NY Open Signal:** Compares 1H open price with BB levels
2. **ORB Close Signal:** Compares final ORB close with BB levels
3. **Trigger Signal:** Compares breakout price with BB levels
**Logic:**
```
if (bullish_signals >= 2) → "BULLISH"
if (bearish_signals >= 2) → "BEARISH"
else → "MIXED" or "NO TREND"
```
## Component Interaction
### Trade Signal Generation
**Algorithm:**
```
trade_allowed = (orb_ratio >= min_threshold AND orb_ratio <= max_threshold)
AND (bb_signal != "NEUTRAL")
AND (trend_filter_result contains "BULLISH" OR "BEARISH")
```
### Risk Management Calculation
**Entry Points:**
- Long Entry: `range_high`
- Short Entry: `range_low`
**Stop Loss Calculation:**
```
sl_level = range_low + (range_size * sl_position_percent / 100)
```
**Take Profit Calculation:**
```
tp_distance = range_size * tp_factor_percent / 100
long_tp = long_entry + tp_distance
short_tp = short_entry - tp_distance
```
**Position Sizing (CFD-optimized):**
```
risk_per_contract = avg_risk_points * contract_value * lot_size
max_contracts = max_risk_amount / risk_per_contract
```
**Margin Calculation (CFDs):**
```
position_value = total_units * entry_price
margin_required = position_value / leverage
```

Katz Exploding PowerBand FilterUnderstanding the Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) v2.4
1. Indicator Overview
The Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) is an advanced technical indicator designed to identify moments of expanding bullish or bearish momentum, often referred to as "power." It operates as a standalone oscillator in a separate pane below the main price chart.
Its primary goal is to measure underlying market strength by calculating custom "Bull" and "Bear" power components. These components are then filtered through a versatile moving average and a dual signal line system to generate clear entry and exit signals. This indicator is not a simple momentum oscillator; it uses a unique calculation based on exponential envelopes of both price and squared price to derive its values.
2. On-Chart Lines and Components
The indicator pane consists of five main lines:
Bullish Component (Thick Green/Blue/Yellow/Gray Line): This is the core of the indicator. It represents the calculated bullish "power" or momentum in the market.
Bright Green: Indicates a strong, active long signal condition.
Blue: Shows the bull component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a potential sign of a reversal or weakening downtrend.
Yellow: A warning sign that bullish power is weakening and has fallen below the primary signal lines.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bullish power.
Bearish Component (Thick Red/Purple/Yellow/Gray Line): This line represents the calculated bearish "power" or downward momentum.
Bright Red: Indicates a strong, active short signal condition.
Purple: Shows the bear component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a sign of potential trend continuation.
Yellow: A warning sign that bearish power is weakening.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bearish power.
MA Filter (Purple Line): This is the main filter, calculated using the moving average type and length you select in the settings (e.g., HullMA, EMA). The Bull and Bear components are compared against this line to determine the underlying trend bias.
Signal Line 1 (Orange Line): A fast Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the stronger power component. It acts as the first level of dynamic support or resistance for the power lines.
Signal Line 2 (Lime/Gray Line): A slower EMA that acts as a confirmation filter.
Lime Green: The line turns lime when it is rising and the faster Signal Line 1 is above it, indicating a confirmed bullish trend in momentum.
Gray: Indicates a neutral or bearish momentum trend.
3. On-Chart Symbols and Their Meanings
Various characters are plotted at the bottom of the indicator pane to provide clear, actionable signals.
L (Pre-Long Signal): The first sign of a potential long entry. It appears when the Bullish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
S (Pre-Short Signal): The first sign of a potential short entry. It appears when the Bearish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
▲ (Post-Long Signal): A stronger confirmation for a long entry. It appears with the 'L' signal only if the momentum trend is also confirmed bullish (i.e., the slower Signal Line 2 is lime green).
▼ (Post-Short Signal): A stronger confirmation for a short entry. It appears with the 'S' signal only if the momentum trend is confirmed bullish.
Exit / Take-Profit Symbols:
These symbols appear when a power component crosses below a line, suggesting that momentum is fading and it may be time to take profit.
⚠️ (Exit Signal 1): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the main MA Filter. This is the first and most sensitive take-profit signal.
☣️ (Exit Signal 2): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the faster Signal Line 1. This is a moderate take-profit signal.
🚼 (Exit Signal 3): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the slower Signal Line 2. This is the slowest take-profit signal, suggesting the trend is more definitively exhausted.
4. Trading Strategy and Rules
Long Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an L to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bullish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a green ▲ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a long (buy) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Short Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an S to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bearish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a maroon ▼ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a short (sell) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Take Profit (TP) Rules:
The indicator provides three levels of take-profit signals. You can choose to exit your entire position or scale out at each level.
For a long trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bullish Component.
For a short trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bearish Component.
Stop Loss (SL) Rules:
The indicator does not provide an explicit stop loss. You must use your own risk management rules. Common methods include:
Swing High/Low: For a long position, place your stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart. For a short position, place it above the most recent swing high.
ATR-Based: Use an Average True Range (ATR) indicator to set a volatility-based stop loss.
Fixed Percentage: Risk a fixed percentage (e.g., 1-2%) of your account on the trade.
5. Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be considered financial advice. All trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. The signals generated by this indicator are probabilistic and can result in losing trades. Always use proper risk management, such as setting a stop loss, and never risk more than you are willing to lose. It is recommended to backtest this indicator and use it in conjunction with other forms of analysis before trading with real capital. The indicator should only be used for educational purposes.
EAOBS by MIGVersion 1
1. Strategy Overview Objective: Capitalize on breakout movements in Ethereum (ETH) price after the Asian open pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) by identifying high and low prices during the session and trading breakouts above the high or below the low.
Timeframe: Any (script is timeframe-agnostic, but align with session timing).
Session: Pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST, adjustable for other time zones, e.g., 12:00 AM–12:59 AM GMT).
Risk-Reward Ratios (R:R): Targets range from 1.2:1 to 5.2:1, with a fixed stop loss.
Instrument: Ethereum (ETH/USD or ETH-based pairs).
2. Market Setup Session Monitoring: Monitor ETH price action during the pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST), which aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., 9:00 AM–9:59 AM JST).
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low during this session.
Breakout Triggers: Buy Signal: Price breaks above the session’s high after the session ends (7:59 PM EST).
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the session’s low after the session ends.
Visualization: The session is highlighted on the chart with a white background.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the session’s high and low, extended for 30 bars, along with take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
3. Entry Rules Long (Buy) Entry: Enter a long position when the price breaks above the session’s high price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just above the session high (e.g., add a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%, to avoid false breakouts, depending on volatility).
Short (Sell) Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the session’s low price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just below the session low (e.g., subtract a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%).
Confirmation: Use a candlestick close above/below the breakout level to confirm the entry.
Optionally, add volume confirmation or a momentum indicator (e.g., RSI or MACD) to filter out weak breakouts.
Position Size: Calculate position size based on risk tolerance (e.g., 1–2% of account per trade).
Risk is determined by the stop-loss distance (10 points, as defined in the script).
4. Exit Rules Take-Profit Levels (in points, based on script inputs):TP1: 12 points (1.2:1 R:R).
TP2: 22 points (2.2:1 R:R).
TP3: 32 points (3.2:1 R:R).
TP4: 42 points (4.2:1 R:R).
TP5: 52 points (5.2:1 R:R).
Example for Long: If session high is 3000, TP levels are 3012, 3022, 3032, 3042, 3052.
Example for Short: If session low is 2950, TP levels are 2938, 2928, 2918, 2908, 2898.
Strategy: Scale out of the position (e.g., close 20% at TP1, 20% at TP2, etc.) or take full profit at a preferred TP level based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss: Fixed at 10 points from the entry.
Long SL: Session high - 10 points (e.g., entry at 3000, SL at 2990).
Short SL: Session low + 10 points (e.g., entry at 2950, SL at 2960).
Trailing Stop (Optional):After reaching TP2 or TP3, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits (e.g., trail by 10–15 points below the current price).
5. Risk Management per Trade: Limit risk to 1–2% of your trading account per trade.
Calculate position size: Account Size × Risk % ÷ (Stop-Loss Distance × ETH Price per Point).
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. If SL = 10 points and 1 point = $1, position size = $100 ÷ 10 = 0.1 ETH.
Daily Risk Limit: Cap daily losses at 3–5% of the account to avoid overtrading.
Maximum Exposure: Avoid taking both long and short positions simultaneously unless using separate accounts or strategies.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust position size during high-volatility periods (e.g., major news events like Ethereum upgrades or macroeconomic announcements).
6. Trade Management Monitoring :Watch for breakouts after 7:59 PM EST.
Monitor price action near TP and SL levels using alerts or manual checks.
Trade Duration: Breakout lines extend for 30 bars (script parameter). Close trades if no TP or SL is hit within this period, or reassess based on market conditions.
Adjustments: If the market shows strong momentum, consider holding beyond TP5 with a trailing stop.
If the breakout fails (e.g., price reverses before TP1), exit early to minimize losses.
7. Additional Considerations Market Conditions: The 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST session aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., Tokyo Stock Exchange open at 9:00 AM JST), which may introduce higher volatility due to Asian trading activity.
Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or extreme volatility (e.g., major crypto news).
Check for upcoming events (e.g., Ethereum network upgrades, ETF decisions) that could impact price.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical ETH data using the session high/low breakouts for the 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST window to validate performance.
Adjust TP/SL levels based on backtest results if needed.
Broker and Fees: Use a low-fee crypto exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro) to maximize R:R.
Account for trading fees and slippage in your position sizing.
Time zone Adjustment: Adjust session time input for your time zone (e.g., "0000-0059" for GMT).
Ensure your trading platform’s clock aligns with the script’s time zone (default: America/New_York).
8. Example Trade Scenario: Session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) records a high of 3050 and a low of 3000.
Long Trade: Entry: Price breaks above 3050 (e.g., enter at 3051).
TP Levels: 3063 (TP1), 3073 (TP2), 3083 (TP3), 3093 (TP4), 3103 (TP5).
SL: 3040 (3050 - 10).
Position Size: For a $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. SL = 11 points ($11). Size = $100 ÷ 11 = ~0.09 ETH.
Short Trade: Entry: Price breaks below 3000 (e.g., enter at 2999).
TP Levels: 2987 (TP1), 2977 (TP2), 2967 (TP3), 2957 (TP4), 2947 (TP5).
SL: 3010 (3000 + 10).
Position Size: Same as above, ~0.09 ETH.
Execution: Set alerts for breakouts, enter with limit orders, and monitor TPs/SL.
9. Tools and Setup Platform: Use TradingView to implement the Pine Script and visualize breakout levels.
Alerts: Set price alerts for breakouts above the session high or below the session low after 7:59 PM EST.
Set alerts for TP and SL levels.
Chart Settings: Use a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for precise session tracking.
Overlay the script to see high/low lines, TP levels, and SL levels.
Optional Indicators: Add RSI (e.g., avoid overbought/oversold breakouts) or volume to confirm breakouts.
10. Risk Warnings Crypto Volatility: ETH is highly volatile; unexpected news can cause rapid price swings.
False Breakouts: Breakouts may fail, especially in low-volume sessions. Use confirmation signals.
Leverage: Avoid high leverage (e.g., >5x) to prevent liquidation during volatile moves.
Session Accuracy: Ensure correct session timing for your time zone to avoid misaligned entries.
11. Performance Tracking Journaling :Record each trade’s entry, exit, R:R, and outcome.
Note market conditions (e.g., trending, ranging, news-driven).
Review: Weekly: Assess win rate, average R:R, and adherence to the plan.
Monthly: Adjust TP/SL or session timing based on performance.
ai quant oculusAI QUANT OCULUS
Version 1.0 | Pine Script v6
Purpose & Innovation
AI QUANT OCULUS integrates four distinct technical concepts—exponential trend filtering, adaptive smoothing, momentum oscillation, and Gaussian smoothing—into a single, cohesive system that delivers clear, objective buy and sell signals along with automatically plotted stop-loss and three profit-target levels. This mash-up goes beyond a simple EMA crossover or standalone TRIX oscillator by requiring confluence across trend, adaptive moving averages, momentum direction, and smoothed price action, reducing false triggers and focusing on high‐probability turning points.
How It Works & Why Its Components Matter
Trend Filter: EMA vs. Adaptive MA
EMA (20) measures the prevailing trend with fixed sensitivity.
Adaptive MA (also EMA-based, length 10) approximates a faster-responding moving average, standing in for a KAMA-style filter.
Bullish bias requires AMA > EMA; bearish bias requires AMA < EMA. This ensures signals align with both the underlying trend and a more nimble view of recent price action.
Momentum Confirmation: TRIX
Calculates a triple-smoothed EMA of price over TRIX Length (15), then converts it to a percentage rate-of-change oscillator.
Positive TRIX reinforces bullish entries; negative TRIX reinforces bearish entries. Using TRIX helps filter whipsaws by focusing on sustained momentum shifts.
Gaussian Price Smoother
Applies two back-to-back 5-period EMAs to the price (“gaussian” smoothing) to remove short-term noise.
Price above the smoothed line confirms strength for longs; below confirms weakness for shorts. This layer avoids entries on erratic spikes.
Confluence Signals
Buy Signal (isBull) fires only when:
AMA > EMA (trend alignment)
TRIX > 0 (momentum support)
Close > Gaussian (price strength)
Sell Signal (isBear) fires under the inverse conditions.
Requiring all three conditions simultaneously sharply reduces false triggers common to single-indicator systems.
Automatic Risk & Reward Plotting
On each new buy or sell signal (edge detection via not isBull or not isBear ), the script:
Stores entryPrice at the signal bar’s close.
Draws a stop-loss line at entry minus ATR(14) × Stop Multiplier (1.5) by default.
Plots three profit-target lines at entry plus ATR × Target Multiplier (1×, 1.5×, and 2×).
All previous labels and lines are deleted on each new signal, keeping the chart uncluttered and focusing only on the current trade.
Inputs & Customization
Input Description Default

Stop Multiplier ATR multiple for stop-loss distance 1.5
Target Multiplier ATR multiple for first profit target 1.5
Show Buy/Sell Signals Toggle on-chart labels for entry signals On
How to Use
Apply to Chart: Best on 15 m–1 h timeframes for swing entries or 5 m for agile scalps.
Wait for Full Confluence:
Look for the AMA to cross above/below the EMA and verify TRIX and Gaussian conditions on the same bar.
A bright “LONG” or “SHORT” label marks your entry.
Manage the Trade:
Place your stop where the red or green SL line appears.
Scale or exit at the three yellow TP1/TP2/TP3 lines, automatically drawn by volatility.
Repeat Cleanly: Each new signal clears prior annotations, ensuring you only track the active setup.
Why This Script Stands Out
Multi-Layer Confluence: Trend, momentum, and noise-reduction must all align, addressing the weaknesses of single-indicator strategies.
Automated Trade Management: No manual plotting—stop and target lines appear seamlessly with each signal.
Transparent & Customizable: All logic is open, adjustable, and clearly documented, allowing traders to tweak lengths and multipliers to suit different instruments.

EMA Cloud Matrix with Trend Tablethis script builds upon a standard exponential moving average (ema) by adding volatility-based dynamic bands and persistent trend detection. it also enhances decision-making by including visual indicators (labels and clouds), a multi-timeframe trend table, and optional retest signals. here's an in-depth explanation:
volatility-based bands:
instead of just plotting an ema line, this script creates an upper and lower band around the ema using the average volatility (calculated as the average range of high-low over 100 bars).
the bands represent areas where price is likely to deviate significantly from the ema, signaling potential trend shifts.
persistent trend detection:
a persistent trend variable updates when price crosses above the upper band (bullish trend) or below the lower band (bearish trend). this ensures that the trend state persists until a new cross event occurs.
normal emas don't store such states—they merely provide a lagging representation of price.
visual enhancements:
a color-coded cloud dynamically highlights the area between the ema and the current trend line (upper or lower band), making trend direction clearer.
labels mark significant crossover or crossunder events, serving as potential buy or sell signals.
multi-timeframe trend table:
the table shows the trend direction (buy/sell) for the 15-minute, 4-hour, and daily timeframes, giving a broader perspective for trading decisions.
optional retest signals:
when enabled, it identifies situations where price tests the ema after trending away, providing additional opportunities for entries or exits.
first time ever - why use this and how?
why use this?
this is ideal for traders who:
struggle with trend-following strategies that lack clear entry/exit rules.
want a hybrid system combining ema-based smoothness with volatility-based adaptability.
need to visualize trends in multiple timeframes without switching charts.
how to use this?
buy signal: when the price crosses above the upper band, the trend flips to bullish. you’ll see a green upward arrow (▲) on the chart, indicating a potential long entry.
sell signal: when the price crosses below the lower band, the trend flips to bearish. a blue downward arrow (▼) appears on the chart, signaling a potential short entry.
retest signals (optional): if the price comes back to test the ema during a trend, a retest label can guide you for a secondary entry.
exit based on risk-reward ratio (rr)
this script doesn't explicitly calculate risk-reward ratios (rr), but you can manage exits effectively using the following ideas:
set a defined stop-loss:
if entering on a buy signal (crossover above upper band), place a stop below the ema or the lower band. for short signals, use the upper band as a stop.
this ensures the stop-loss dynamically adjusts with volatility.
use rr to set targets:
decide on a risk-reward ratio like 1:2 or 1:3. for example:
if your stop-loss is 20 points below your entry, set your target 40 or 60 points above for a 1:2 or 1:3 rr.
you can use trailing stops to lock in profits as the trend continues.
exit on opposite signal:
if the trend changes (e.g., price crosses below the lower band in a bullish trade), close the position.
how it gives signals and when to buy or sell
signal logic:
buy signal (bullish crossover):
when the price crosses above the upper band, the script marks it as a bullish trend and plots a green arrow (▲).
sell signal (bearish crossunder):
when the price crosses below the lower band, the script identifies it as a bearish trend and plots a blue arrow (▼).
trend continuation:
the trend state persists until the opposite condition occurs, helping you avoid noise or whipsaws.
multi-timeframe insights:
consult the trend table for confirmation across timeframes. for example:
if the 15-minute and 4-hour timeframes align with a buy trend, it strengthens the case for a long trade.
conflicting signals might suggest waiting for further confirmation.
using retest signals:
during strong trends, price often revisits the ema before resuming. if the optional retest signals are enabled, you’ll see labels at these points. they can be used to:
add to an existing position.
enter a trade if you missed the initial breakout.
key event: price crosses above the upper band
when the price closes above the upper band (ema + volatility buffer), the script identifies a bullish trend.
a green upward arrow (▲) is plotted on the chart, signaling the beginning of a long trend.
visual confirmation:
the cloud between the ema and the trend line (lower band) is filled with a light green color, representing a bullish phase.
the trend table will display "buy" with an upward arrow for the respective timeframe(s).
actionable insight:
entry: take a long position when the green ▲ appears, confirming a bullish crossover.
continuation trades: use the optional retest signals to identify pullbacks to the ema as opportunities to add to the long position.
exit: close the position when a bearish crossunder (sell signal) occurs.
identifying short trends (sell signal)
key event: price crosses below the lower band
when the price closes below the lower band (ema - volatility buffer), the script identifies a bearish trend.
a blue downward arrow (▼) is plotted on the chart, signaling the beginning of a short trend.
visual confirmation:
the cloud between the ema and the trend line (upper band) is filled with a light blue color, representing a bearish phase.
the trend table will display "sell" with a downward arrow for the respective timeframe(s).
actionable insight:
entry: take a short position when the blue ▼ appears, confirming a bearish crossunder.
continuation trades: use the optional retest signals to identify rallies back to the ema as opportunities to add to the short position.
exit: close the position when a bullish crossover (buy signal) occurs.
what makes it different from other ema indicators?
dynamic volatility adaptation:
standard ema indicators only track the average price over a given period, making them susceptible to market noise in highly volatile conditions.
this script uses a volatility buffer (average true range of high-low) to create upper and lower bands around the ema, filtering out insignificant movements and focusing on meaningful breakouts.
persistent trend logic:
unlike traditional emas that simply follow price direction, this script maintains a persistent trend state until a clear crossover or crossunder occurs:
bullish trends persist above the upper band.
bearish trends persist below the lower band.
this minimizes whipsaws in choppy markets.
visual enhancements:
the trend-colored cloud (green for long trends, blue for short trends) helps you quickly identify the market’s state.
labels (▲ and ▼) mark critical entry signals, making it easier to spot potential trades.
multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
the trend table integrates higher and lower timeframes, providing a multi-timeframe perspective:
short-term (15 minutes) for active trading.
medium-term (4 hours) for swing positions.
long-term (daily) for overall trend direction.
optional retest signals:
most ema-based strategies miss the retest phase after a breakout.
this script includes an optional feature to identify pullbacks to the ema during a trend, helping traders enter or add positions at better prices.
all-in-one system:
while traditional ema indicators only show a smoothed average line, this script integrates trend detection, volatility bands, visual aids, and multi-timeframe analysis in a single tool, reducing the need for additional indicators.
summary
this script goes beyond a simple ema by incorporating trend persistence, volatility bands, and multi-timeframe analysis. buy signals occur when price crosses above the upper band, initiating a long trend, while sell signals occur when price crosses below the lower band, initiating a short trend. it stands out due to its ability to adapt to market conditions, provide clear visual cues, and avoid the noise common in standard ema-based systems.
Volume Strength IndicatorThis Indicator is built to give you an edge into the market. Given volume, volatility and price-action, it compares market conditions against the maximum that have occurred so far in the session. Useful for intraday and day trading for timing entries with the smart money.
The green/red histogram gives us a view into the relative strength of the current bar, whether they have strong buying or selling power.
The orange signal line gives us a view of the recent trend, which can be modified using the various inputs.
Contrarian Period High & LowContrarian Period High & Low
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Overview
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed for traders seeking to identify key support and resistance levels and capitalize on contrarian trading opportunities. By tracking the highest highs and lowest lows over user-defined periods (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), this indicator plots historical levels and generates buy and sell signals when price breaks these levels in a contrarian manner. A unique blue dot counter and action table enhance decision-making, making it ideal for swing traders, trend followers, and those trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies. Optimized for daily charts, it can be adapted to other timeframes with proper testing.
How It Works
The indicator identifies the highest high and lowest low within a specified period (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly) and draws horizontal lines for the previous period’s extremes on the chart. These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones. Contrarian signals are generated when the price crosses below the previous period’s low (buy signal) or above the previous period’s high (sell signal), indicating potential reversals. A blue dot counter tracks consecutive buy signals, and a table displays the count and recommended action, helping traders decide whether to hold or flip positions.
Key Components
Period High/Low Levels: Tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period, plotting red lines for highs and green lines for lows from the bar where they occurred, extending for a user-defined length (default: 200 bars).
Contrarian Signals: Generates buy signals (blue circles) when price crosses below the previous period’s low and sell signals (white circles) when price crosses above the previous period’s high, designed to capture potential reversals.
Blue Dot Tracker: Counts consecutive buy signals (“blue dots”). If three or more occur, it suggests a stronger trend, with the table recommending whether to “Hold Investment” or “Flip Investment.”
Action Table: A 2x2 table in the bottom-right corner displays the blue dot count and action (“Hold Investment” if count ≥ 4, else “Flip Investment”) for quick reference.
Mathematical Concepts
Period Detection: Uses an approximate bar count to define periods (1 bar for Daily, 5 bars for Weekly, 20 bars for Monthly on a daily chart). When a new period starts, the previous period’s high/low is finalized and plotted.
High/Low Tracking:
Highest high (periodHigh) and lowest low (periodLow) are updated within the period.
Lines are drawn at these levels when the period ends, starting from the bar where the extreme occurred (periodHighBar, periodLowBar).
Signal Logic:
Buy signal: ta.crossunder(close , prevPeriodLow) and not lowBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Sell signal: ta.crossover(close , prevPeriodHigh) and not highBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Flags (highBroken, lowBroken) prevent multiple signals for the same level within a period.
Blue Dot Counter: Increments on each buy signal, resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds the entry price after three or more buy signals.
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Circle): Triggered when the price crosses below the previous period’s low, suggesting a potential oversold condition and buying opportunity. The signal appears as a blue circle below the price bar.
Sell Signal (White Circle): Triggered when the price crosses above the previous period’s high, indicating a potential overbought condition and selling opportunity. The signal appears as a white circle above the price bar.
Blue Dot Tracker:
Increments blueDotCount on each buy signal and sets an entryPrice on the first buy.
Resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds entryPrice after three or more buy signals.
If blueDotCount >= 3, the table suggests holding; if >= 4, it reinforces “Hold Investment.”
Exit Rules: Exit a buy position on a sell signal or when price exceeds the entry price after three or more buy signals. Combine with other tools (e.g., trendlines, support/resistance) for additional confirmation. Always apply proper risk management.

Polaris Trend All-in-One📘 Polaris Trend Indicator: Trading Rules & Strategy
Guide
The Polaris Trend Indicator is designed to simplify trading decisions by identifying key entry
and exit signals without the need for excessive technical analysis. This system combines the
Polaris Trend with the Polaris Golden Wave and Market Bias tools to give you confidence
across multiple timeframes.
This guide outlines clear trading rules for two use cases:
● Swing Trading
● Long-Term Investing and Holding
⚡ Swing Trading Strategy
Swing trading can be challenging when the market direction is unclear. The Polaris Trend helps
traders stay on the right side of momentum with straightforward visual signals. This approach is
best used on the Daily or Weekly chart.
✅ Entry Criteria (Bullish Trades)
● A solid green column appears above the zero line.
● A green upward arrow confirms bullish momentum.
● Enter your trade immediately when the green column first appears.
● Hold the trade until a red column appears, signaling a shift in momentum.
🚫 Exit Criteria (Bullish Trades)
● The first appearance of a red column after a green run.
● Multiple green columns followed by a red column.
● Do not enter trades mid-trend; always enter on the first green flip.
***Recommended Swing Strategy
● When a new daily green column appears but the weekly columns are still red, stay
nimble. Enter your position when the Polaris Trend Indicator turns green and displays an
upward-pointing arrow.
● If the price pulls back to a higher low but a red daily column forms, sell 50% of your
position and move your stop loss to your original entry. Then, wait for the next daily
green column and arrow to reappear, this is your signal to reenter the 50% you exited.
● If the price continues to rise and the weekly columns also turn green, shift your focus
to the weekly chart. Ignore daily signals and hold the trade until the weekly column
turns red, which will be your cue to exit. The weekly green column is your confirmation of
a stronger uptrend and a potential longer hold.
🔻 Entry Criteria (Bearish Trades)
● A solid red column appears below the zero line.
● A red downward arrow confirms bearish momentum.
● Enter your short trade immediately when the red column first appears.
● Hold until a green column appears, indicating momentum has shifted.
🔁 Exit Criteria (Bearish Trades)
● The first green column that follows a red sequence.
● Same rule applies: enter only on the initial flip, not mid-trend.
Note: The first color flip is the most reliable entry point. Avoid entering positions
deep into a trend, wait for the clear signal from Polaris.
🧭 Long-Term Investing Strategy
This approach combines the Polaris Golden Wave, Polaris Trend, and Market Bias to help
long-term investors buy at deep value levels and scale into positions over time.
📉 Ideal Entry: Golden Zone + Polaris Trend Signal
● Use the Golden Wave to identify the monthly 0.618–0.826 retracement zone
(significant discount levels).
● When price enters the Golden Zone and the Polaris Trend shows a green column on
the Daily or Weekly, this is your optimal entry point.
● If the trend turns red inside the zone, consider trimming positions and re-entering on the
next bullish signal.
If price drops below the Golden Zone, the stock becomes even more undervalued,
wait for the next green Polaris Trend signal to enter.
💰 Secondary Entry: Market Bias Rebounds
● If you miss the Golden Zone entry or are dollar-cost averaging:
○ Use the Market Bias on a Weekly timeframe.
○ Wait for price to retrace into the Market Bias band after moving higher.
○ Look for a red Polaris Trend column, then wait for price to enter the Market
Bias band and once it enters, wait for Polaris Trend signal to flip back to green
for your entry. If the trend turns red inside the zone, consider trimming positions
and re-entering on the next bullish signal.
Think of the Market Bias like a lake and price like a skipping stone—you want to
buy when the stone comes down and touches the surface.
📊 Indicator Explanations
🔶 Golden Wave (Monthly Fibonacci Retracement Zones)
● Highlights key monthly retracement zones (0.618 to 0.826).
● Helps identify deep-value entries on longer timeframes.
● Visible across all chart timeframes for consistent macro reference.
🔴 Market Bias (Smoothed Heikin-Ashi Trend Filter)
● Measures trend direction and strength using smoothed Heikin-Ashi candles and
oscillation logic.
● Customizable smoothing, oscillator period, and timeframe inputs.
● Option to display trend signals in a separate pane with dynamic coloring.
This combined approach empowers traders to make high-quality decisions with clarity and
discipline. Whether you're entering short-term swings or building long-term positions, the
Polaris Trend system guides you with timely, data-driven signals.
Position Size CalculatorThe provided Pine Script is a custom indicator titled "Position Size Calculator" designed to assist traders in calculating the appropriate size of a trading position based on predefined risk parameters. This script is intended to be overlaid on a trading chart, as indicated by `overlay=true`, allowing traders to visualize and adjust their risk and position size directly within the context of their trading strategy.
What It Does:
The core functionality of this script revolves around calculating the position size a trader should take based on three input parameters:
**Risk in USD (`Risk`)**: This represents the amount of money the trader is willing to risk on a single trade.
**Entry Price (`EntryPrice`)**: The price at which the trader plans to enter the market.
**Stop Loss (`StopLoss`)**: The price at which the trader plans to exit the market should the trade move against them, effectively limiting their loss.
The script calculates the position size using a function named `calculatePositionSize`, which performs the following steps:
It first calculates the `expectedLoss` by taking 90% (`0.9`) of the input risk. This implies that the script factors in a safety margin, assuming traders are willing to risk up to 90% of their stated risk amount per trade.
It then calculates the position size based on the distance between the Entry Price and the Stop Loss. This calculation adjusts based on whether the Entry Price is higher or lower than the Stop Loss, ensuring that the position size fits the risk profile regardless of trade direction.
The function returns several values: `risk`, `entryPrice`, `stopLoss`, `expectedLoss`, and `size`, which are then plotted on the chart.
How It Does It:
**Expected Loss Calculation**: By reducing the risk by 10% before calculating position size, the script provides a buffer to account for slippage or to ensure the trader does not fully utilize their risk budget on a single trade.
**Position Size Calculation**: The script calculates position size by dividing the adjusted risk (`expectedLoss`) by the price difference between the Entry Price and Stop Loss. This gives a quantitative measure of how many units of the asset can be bought or sold while staying within the risk parameters.
What Traders Can Use It For:
Traders can use this Position Size Calculator for several purposes:
- **Risk Management**: By determining the appropriate position size, traders can ensure that they do not overexpose themselves to market risk on a single trade.
- **Trade Planning**: Before entering a trade, the script allows traders to visualize their risk, entry, and exit points, helping them to make more informed decisions.
- **Consistency**: Using a standardized method for calculating position size helps traders maintain consistency in their trading approach, a key aspect of successful trading strategies.
- **Efficiency**: Automating the calculation of position size saves time and reduces the likelihood of manual calculation errors.
Overall, this Pine Script indicator is a practical tool for traders looking to implement strict risk management rules within their trading strategies, ensuring that each trade is sized appropriately according to their risk tolerance and market conditions.
