TDGS Dynamic Grid Trading Strategy [CoinFxPro]Advanced Dynamic Grid Trading Strategy
Logic and Working Principle:
This strategy uses a dynamic grid system to support both long and short trades. Grid trading aims to capitalize on price fluctuations within a predefined range by executing buy and sell orders systematically. The system calculates grid levels based on a base price and dynamically trades within these levels.
Grid Levels:
Grid levels are calculated based on the initial price and the user-defined grid spacing percentage.
Long Mode: Buys when the price decreases and sells when the price increases.
Short Mode: Sells when the price increases and buys when the price decreases.
Grid Updates:
Grid levels are recalculated based on the market price when the price moves by a user-defined update percentage.
For example;
In Long mode, when the price shows an upward trend, that is, when it rises by the Grid Update Percentage specified by the user, Grid levels are recreated and trades are made according to the new grid levels. While the price and grid levels are updated according to the new price, the Stop level is also updated upwards and the stop is followed with the TrailingStop logic.
In short mode, the same system operates with reverse logic. In other words, as prices decrease downwards, the grids are updated downwards when the Grid update percentage determined by the user decreases. The stop level is also updated accordingly.
The difference of the strategy from other Gridbots is that the grid levels are automatically updated and the levels are recreated with the price percentage difference determined by the user. Old levels can be tracked on the chart.
As the price updates, the self-updating grid levels are updated upwards in long mode and downwards in short mode.
The number of buying lots and selling lots are separated, allowing both trading within the position and the opportunity to collect lots and increase the position.
When trading with the grid trading logic, when buying and selling between grids, there is no repeated purchase at the same level unless there is a sale at the upper grid level. In this way, each level will be traded within itself.
For example, in a long condition, when the price is going up, after deducting the selling lot from the buying lot at each level, the remaining lots will be collected while the price is going up and an opportunity will be provided from the price rise.
Different preferences have been added to the profit taking conditions, allowing the robot to continue or stop after profit taking, if desired.
The system, which acts entirely according to user parameters, constantly updates itself as long as it moves in the direction determined by itself, and in these conditions, transactions are carried out according to profit or stop conditions.
Parameters:
Grid Parameters:
Settings such as buy lot size, sell lot size, grid count, and grid spacing percentage allow flexibility and customization.
Risk Management:
Stop loss (%) and take profit (%) levels help limit potential losses and secure profits at predefined thresholds.
Objective:
The goal of this strategy is to systematically capitalize on market price fluctuations through automated grid trading. This method is particularly effective in volatile markets where the price oscillates within a specific range.
The strategy works with a complete algorithm logic, and in appropriate instruments (especially instruments with depth and transaction volume should be preferred), buying and selling transactions are made according to the parameters determined at the beginning, and if the conditions go beyond the conditions, the stop is made, and when the profit taking conditions are met, it takes profit and prices according to the determined value. When it is updated, the values are updated again and the parameter works algorithmically.
Risk Management Recommendations:
Initial Capital: Grid trading involves frequent transactions, so sufficient initial capital is essential.
Stop Loss: Always set stop loss levels to prevent significant losses.
Grid Count and Spacing: A higher number of grids provides more trading opportunities but using grids that are too close may increase transaction costs due to small price movements.
First of all, it is important for risk management that you choose instruments that have depth and high transaction volume.
Strategy results may differ as a result of the parameters entered. Therefore, before trading in your real account, it is recommended that you start real transactions after backtesting with different parameters.
If you are stuck on something, you can mention it in the comments.

Gold Trade Setup Strategy
Title: Profitable Gold Setup Strategy with Adaptive Moving Average & Supertrend
Introduction:
This trading strategy for Gold (XAU/USD) combines the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) and Supertrend, tailored for high-probability setups during specific trading hours. The AMA identifies the trend, while the Supertrend confirms entry and exit points. The strategy is optimized for swing and intraday traders looking to capitalize on Gold’s price movements with precise trade timing.
Strategy Components:
1. Adaptive Moving Average (AMA):
• Reacts dynamically to market conditions, filtering noise in choppy markets.
• Serves as the primary trend indicator.
2. Supertrend:
• Confirms entry signals with clear buy and sell levels.
• Acts as a trailing stop-loss to protect profits.
Trading Rules:
Trading Hours:
• Only take trades between 8:30 AM and 10:30 PM IST.
• Avoid trading outside these hours to reduce noise and low-volume setups.
Buy Setup:
1. Trend Confirmation: The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) must be green.

3. Trigger: Take the trade when the high of the trigger candle (the candle that turned Supertrend green) is broken.
Sell Setup (Optional if included):
• Reverse the rules for a short trade: AMA and Supertrend should both indicate bearish conditions (red), and take the trade when the low of the trigger candle is broken.
Stop-Loss and Targets:
• Place the stop-loss at the low of the trigger candle for long trades.
• Set a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use the Supertrend line as a trailing stop-loss.
Timeframes:
• Recommended timeframes: 1H, 4H, or Daily for swing trading.
• For intraday trading, use 15-minute or 30-minute charts.
Why This Strategy Works:
• Combines trend-following (AMA) with momentum-based entries (Supertrend).

Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy [LV]The Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy was developed as a counter-momentum trading tool.
The strategy is suitable for any market and the default values used in the input settings menu are set for Bitcoin (best on 15min). These values, expressed in minimum ticks (or pips if symbol is Forex) make this tool perfectly adaptable to every symbol and/or timeframe.
Check tooltips in the settings menu for more details about every user input.
STRTEGY ENTRY & EXIT MECHANISMS:
Trades Entry based on the detection of swing highs and lows for short and long entries respectively, validated by:
- Limit orders placed after each new pivot level confirmation
- Moving averages trend filter (if enabled)
- No active trade currently open
Trades Exit when the price reaches take-profit or stop-loss level as defined in the settings menu. A double entry/second take-profit level can be enabled for partial exits, with dynamic stop-loss adjustment for the remaining position.
Enhanced Trade Precision:
By limiting entries to confirmed swing high (HH, LH) or swing low (HL, LL) pivot points, the strategy ensures that trades occur at levels of significant price reversals. This precision reduces the likelihood of entering trades in the midst of a trend or during uncertain price action.
Risk Management Optimization:
The strategy incorporates clearly defined stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels derived from the pivot points. This structured approach minimizes potential losses while locking in profits, which is critical for consistent performance in volatile markets.
Trend Filtering for Better Entry:
The use of a configurable moving average filter adds a layer of trend validation. This prevents entering trades against the dominant market trend, increasing the probability of success for each trade.
Avoidance of Noise:
The lookback period (length parameter) confirms pivots only after a set number of bars, effectively filtering out market noise and ensuring that entries are based on reliable, well-defined price movements.
Adaptability Across Markets:
The strategy is versatile and can be applied across different markets (Forex, stocks, crypto) due to its dynamic use of ticks and pips converters. It adapts seamlessly to varying price scales and asset types.
Dual Quantity Entries:
The original and optionnal double-entry mechanism allows traders to capture both short-term and extended profits by scaling out of positions. This adaptive approach caters to varying risk appetites and market conditions.
Clear Visualization:
The plotted pivot points, entry limits, SL, and TP levels provide visual clarity, making it easy for traders to track the strategy's behavior and make informed decisions.
Automated Execution with Alerts:
Integrated alerts for both entries and exits ensure timely actions without the need for constant market monitoring, enhancing efficiency. Configurable alert messages are suitable for API use.
Any feedback, comments, or suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
Hope you enjoy!
DCA Alpha 1.0 Trading Tool for Dollar-Cost Averaging
Description:
DCA Alpha 1.0 is a precision-engineered trading tool designed to assist traders and investors in accumulating assets during market downturns. Using proprietary algorithms that combine momentum decay, extreme price deviation metrics, trend dynamics, divergence analysis, and mean regression, it identifies potential bottom extreme zones in various asset classes such as indices, stocks, crypto, and commodities.
This indicator highlights market conditions where assets are oversold, undervalued, or experiencing capitulation—providing disciplined, unleveraged dollar-cost averaging (DCA) opportunities. Ideal for long-term growth strategies, DCA Alpha 1.0 helps cut through market noise, pinpointing moments of peak fear and maximum reward potential.
Whether navigating volatile crypto markets, timing corrections in indices, or accumulating commodities, DCA Alpha 1.0 serves as a vital tool for mastering the art of buying low and building your assets up strategically.
Instructions:
Getting Started:
Add the Indicator:
Install DCA Alpha 1.0 on your TradingView chart.
Select your preferred asset class: stocks, indices, crypto, or commodities.
Choose an appropriate timeframe (e.g., daily or weekly for long-term DCA strategies).
Customize Inputs: Adjust the following settings to align with your strategy:
Percentage of Equity to Trade: Define the portion of your portfolio to allocate per signal (default: 1% equity).
Profit Target Percentages: Set thresholds for locking in gains (default: 50% on lower timeframes, 500% on higher timeframes).
Zones and Signals:
Extreme Negative Zones:
What It Represents:
These zones highlight conditions where prices are deeply oversold, indicating extreme bearish sentiment. The market is likely nearing a bottom, offering high-probability buying opportunities.
Entry Signals:
When the price enters these extreme negative zones, visual markers (e.g., green triangles or other indicators) will signal a potential buying opportunity. These moments are indicative of market exhaustion, signaling that a reversal could be imminent.
Momentum Decay & Divergence:
Momentum decay occurs when price movement slows over time. In extreme negative zones, if prices continue to fall but at a diminishing rate (e.g., decreased volume or a fading oscillator), it suggests weakening bearish momentum. This, coupled with bullish divergence (oscillator forming higher lows while price makes lower lows), signifies a reversal, making it an ideal point to consider dollar-cost averaging into the asset.
Neutral Zones:
What It Represents:
The neutral zone is a state of market equilibrium, where prices are neither overbought nor oversold. The market is in a balanced state, with no strong trend emerging.
Mean Regression:
In a neutral zone, the market is reverting to its mean or average price after overreacting in either direction. A price transition from extreme zones (overbought/oversold) to the neutral zone suggests a reversion to the market's long-term average, making this a period of reduced volatility and uncertainty.
Entering or Exiting Neutral Zones:
Traders should avoid entering or exiting positions during neutral zone conditions unless transitioning from an extreme zone (negative or positive). Transitioning from an extreme negative zone to neutral may suggest an opportunity to accumulate assets gradually, while a shift from neutral to an extreme negative zone may indicate a deeper correction and warrant caution.
Momentum Decay & Divergence (Exiting Neutral Zone):
If prices are rising but the oscillator shows lower highs (bearish divergence), and momentum is fading, this could signal a pullback. A transition out of the neutral zone in this context may prompt traders to hold off on new positions or consider profit-taking.
Extreme Positive Zones:
What It Represents:
Markets can also become overbought or overvalued. When price enters extreme positive zones, the asset may be overvalued, suggesting potential selling or a waiting period.
Exit Signals:
Red triangle indicators signal potential exit points when prices reach overbought conditions, signaling a time to lock in profits and reduce exposure.
Momentum Decay & Divergence (Exiting Positive Zone):
When prices are making new highs but momentum is weakening (momentum decay) and the oscillator is showing lower highs (bearish divergence), this could indicate a faltering rally. Such conditions represent an ideal time to reduce exposure or exit positions.
Key Inputs for Customization:
Percentage of Equity to Trade:
This setting allows you to allocate a portion of your total portfolio per buy signal. By default, 1% of equity is used per signal, but this can be adjusted based on your risk tolerance and strategy.
Profit Target Percentages:
These thresholds help lock in gains once the price moves a set percentage in your favor.
Lower Timeframes: Default profit target of 50%.
Higher Timeframes: Default profit target of 500%.
These settings can be customized for specific risk/reward preferences.
Warning!!! : Aggressive Mode
Aggressive Mode is an advanced feature designed for traders who want to increase the frequency of signals during periods of market volatility. This mode will trigger more frequent entries, even into slightly less extreme zones, capturing short-term reversals.
What Aggressive Mode Does:
It amplifies signals by allowing the tool to identify more frequent price reversals, including brief market corrections, increasing trade frequency. While this can offer more trading opportunities, it also exposes you to higher risk.
Warning:
Aggressive Mode should be used only by experienced traders familiar with short-term volatility. The increased frequency of signals could lead to higher risk exposure. Ensure robust risk management practices, such as stop-loss orders and profit-taking strategies, are in place before activating this mode.
Default Setting:
Aggressive Mode is disabled by default. It can be activated at your discretion based on your experience level and risk appetite.
Best Practices:
Focus on High-Quality Assets: Prioritize assets with strong recovery potential (e.g., major indices, blue-chip cryptocurrencies).
Use Longer Timeframes: Minimize market noise and optimize your DCA strategy by focusing on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly charts).
Review Trading Inputs: Regularly adjust your inputs to ensure they align with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
Implement Risk Management: Use stop-loss orders and profit targets to manage risk, especially when using Aggressive Mode.
Disclaimer:
DCA Alpha 1.0 is designed specifically for unleveraged, long-term dollar-cost averaging strategies. It is not intended for day trading or leveraged positions. The tool excels at identifying market dips but cannot guarantee success. Users are fully responsible for their own risk management, including the use of stop-losses, profit targets, and position sizing.
Aggressive Mode increases trade frequency and may lead to higher exposure and potential losses. Only experienced traders should consider using this mode. Always understand the risks involved before incorporating this tool into your trading strategy.
IU EMA Channel StrategyIU EMA Channel Strategy
Overview:
The IU EMA Channel Strategy is a simple yet effective trend-following strategy that uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on the high and low prices. It provides clear entry and exit signals by identifying price crossovers relative to the EMAs while incorporating a built-in Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) for effective risk management.
Inputs ( Settings ):
- RTR (Risk-to-Reward Ratio): Define the ratio for risk-to-reward (default = 2).
- EMA Length: Adjust the length of the EMA channels (default = 100).
How the Strategy Works
1. EMA Channels:
- High-based EMA: EMA calculated on the high price.
- Low-based EMA: EMA calculated on the low price.
The area between these two EMAs creates a "channel" that visually highlights potential support and resistance zones.
2. Entry Rules:
- Long Entry: When the price closes above the high-based EMA (crossover).
- Short Entry: When the price closes below the low-based EMA (crossunder).
These entries ensure trades are taken in the direction of momentum.
3. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Stop Loss:
- For long positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's low.
- For short positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's high.
- Take Profit:
- TP is automatically calculated using the Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) you define.
- Example: If RTR = 2, the TP will be 2x the risk distance.
4. Exit Rules:
- Positions are closed at either the stop loss or the take profit level.
- The strategy manages exits automatically to enforce disciplined risk management.
Visual Features
1. EMA Channels:
- The high and low EMAs are dynamically color-coded:
- Green: Price is above the EMA (bullish condition).
- Red: Price is below the EMA (bearish condition).
- The area between the EMAs is shaded for better visual clarity.
2. Stop Loss and Take Profit Zones:
- SL and TP levels are plotted for both long and short positions.
- Zones are filled with:
- Red: Stop Loss area.
- Green: Take Profit area.
Be sure to manage your risk and position size properly.
3 EMA + RSI with Trail Stop [Free990] (LOW TF)This trading strategy combines three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify trend direction, uses RSI to signal exit conditions, and applies both a fixed percentage stop-loss and a trailing stop for risk management. It aims to capture momentum when the faster EMAs cross the slower EMA, then uses RSI thresholds, time-based exits, and stops to close trades.
Short Explanation of the Logic
Trend Detection: When the 10 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA and both are above the 100 EMA (and the current price bar closes higher), it triggers a long entry signal. The reverse happens for a short (the 10 EMA crosses below the 20 EMA and both are below the 100 EMA).
RSI Exit: RSI crossing above a set threshold closes long trades; crossing below another threshold closes short trades.
Time-Based Exit: If a trade is in profit after a set number of bars, the strategy closes it.
Stop-Loss & Trailing Stop: A fixed stop-loss based on a percentage from the entry price guards against large drawdowns. A trailing stop dynamically tightens as the trade moves in favor, locking in potential gains.
Detailed Explanation of the Strategy Logic
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Setup
Short EMA (out_a, length=10)
Medium EMA (out_b, length=20)
Long EMA (out_c, length=100)
The code calculates three separate EMAs to gauge short-term, medium-term, and longer-term trend behavior. By comparing their relative positions, the strategy infers whether the market is bullish (EMAs stacked positively) or bearish (EMAs stacked negatively).
Entry Conditions
Long Entry (entryLong): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses above the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are above the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes higher than it opened (close > open).
This suggests that momentum is shifting to the upside (short-term EMAs crossing up and price action turning bullish). If there’s an existing short position, it’s closed first before opening a new long.
Short Entry (entryShort): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses below the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are below the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes lower than it opened (close < open).
This indicates a potential shift to the downside. If there’s an existing long position, that gets closed first before opening a new short.
Exit Signals
RSI-Based Exits:
For long trades: When RSI exceeds a specified threshold (e.g., 70 by default), it triggers a long exit. RSI > short_rsi generally means overbought conditions, so the strategy exits to lock in profits or avoid a pullback.
For short trades: When RSI dips below a specified threshold (e.g., 30 by default), it triggers a short exit. RSI < long_rsi indicates oversold conditions, so the strategy closes the short to avoid a bounce.
Time-Based Exit:
If the trade has been open for xBars bars (configurable, e.g., 24 bars) and the trade is in profit (current price above entry for a long, or current price below entry for a short), the strategy closes the position. This helps lock in gains if the move takes too long or momentum stalls.
Stop-Loss Management
Fixed Stop-Loss (% Based): Each trade has a fixed stop-loss calculated as a percentage from the average entry price.
For long positions, the stop-loss is set below the entry price by a user-defined percentage (fixStopLossPerc).
For short positions, the stop-loss is set above the entry price by the same percentage.
This mechanism prevents catastrophic losses if the market moves strongly against the position.
Trailing Stop:
The strategy also sets a trail stop using trail_points (the distance in price points) and trail_offset (how quickly the stop “catches up” to price).
As the market moves in favor of the trade, the trailing stop gradually tightens, allowing profits to run while still capping potential drawdowns if the price reverses.
Order Execution Flow
When the conditions for a new position (long or short) are triggered, the strategy first checks if there’s an opposite position open. If there is, it closes that position before opening the new one (prevents going “both long and short” simultaneously).
RSI-based and time-based exits are checked on each bar. If triggered, the position is closed.
If the position remains open, the fixed stop-loss and trailing stop remain in effect until the position is exited.
Why This Combination Works
Multiple EMA Cross: Combining 10, 20, and 100 EMAs balances short-term momentum detection with a longer-term trend filter. This reduces false signals that can occur if you only look at a single crossover without considering the broader trend.
RSI Exits: RSI provides a momentum oscillator view—helpful for detecting overbought/oversold conditions, acting as an extra confirmation to exit.
Time-Based Exit: Prevents “lingering trades.” If the position is in profit but failing to advance further, it takes profit rather than risking a trend reversal.
Fixed & Trailing Stop-Loss: The fixed stop-loss is your safety net to cap worst-case losses. The trailing stop allows the strategy to lock in gains by following the trade as it moves favorably, thus maximizing profit potential while keeping risk in check.
Overall, this approach tries to capture momentum from EMA crossovers, protect profits with trailing stops, and limit risk through both a fixed percentage stop-loss and exit signals from RSI/time-based logic.

SMA Buy/Sell Strategy with Significant Slope and Dynamic TP/SLDescription:
This strategy uses a simple moving average (SMA) to detect trading opportunities based on the slope and proximity of price action. It ensures trades are only executed during significant trends, reducing false signals caused by sideways movements. The strategy incorporates dynamic risk management with an initial ambitious Take Profit (TP) and a Trailing Stop Loss (SL) to protect profits.
Key Features:
Trend Detection with SMA:
Two SMAs are calculated: one on High values and one on Low values.
Signals are generated when the price crosses these SMAs, ensuring:
Buy: Price closes above the SMA on High, with a significant upward slope.
Sell: Price closes below the SMA on Low, with a significant downward slope.
Slope Significance Check:
The slope of the SMA is calculated over a configurable period.
Only trends with a slope variation exceeding a user-defined percentage threshold are considered significant.
Dynamic Risk Management:
Ambitious Initial TP: Positions target a high percentage gain upon entry.
Trailing SL: Automatically adjusts as the price moves in favor of the trade, locking in profits.
Automatic Position Management:
Opposing signals close existing positions to avoid conflicting trades.
Configurable position size for risk control.
Parameters:
SMA Period: Number of candles for calculating the SMA.
Initial Take Profit (%): Percentage gain for the initial TP.
Trailing Stop Loss (%): Percentage for trailing SL based on the current price.
Slope Threshold (%): Minimum percentage change in SMA slope to confirm trend significance.
How It Works:
Buy Signal:
The price closes above the SMA on High values.
The slope of the SMA (on High) is positive and exceeds the slope threshold.
Sell Signal:
The price closes below the SMA on Low values.
The slope of the SMA (on Low) is negative and exceeds the slope threshold.
Exits:
A position closes at the Take Profit level, Trailing Stop Loss, or when an opposing signal is generated.
Use Case:
This strategy is ideal for trending markets where price action respects moving averages. It can be used on any timeframe or asset but is particularly effective in markets with clear directional movements.
Recommended Settings:
Timeframe: Works well on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily).
Slope Threshold (%): Default is 5%, adjust based on market volatility.
Initial TP and Trailing SL: Tailor to your risk/reward preferences.
By utilizing this strategy, traders can capitalize on significant market trends while dynamically managing risk. Test it on historical data to optimize the parameters for your preferred market!
16. SMC Strategy with SL - low TimeframeOverview
The "SMC Strategy with SL - low Timeframe" is a comprehensive trading strategy that uses key concepts from Smart Money Theory to identify favorable areas in the market for buying or selling. This strategy takes advantage of price imbalances, support and resistance zones, and swing highs/lows to generate high-probability trade signals.
The key features of this strategy include:
Swing High/Low Analysis: Used to determine the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones.
Order Block Integration: An added layer of confluence to identify valid buy and sell signals.
Trend Direction Confirmation: Using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the overall trend.
Entry and Exit Rules: Based on price position relative to key zones and moving average, along with optional stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Detailed Description
Swing High and Swing Low Analysis
The script calculates Swing High and Swing Low based on the most recent price highs and lows over a specified look-back period (swingHighLength and swingLowLength, set to 8 by default).
It then derives the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones:
Premium Zone: Represents potential resistance, calculated based on recent swing highs.
Discount Zone: Represents potential support, calculated based on recent swing lows.
Equilibrium: The midpoint between Swing High and Swing Low, dividing the price range into Premium (above equilibrium) and Discount (below equilibrium) areas.
Zone Visualization
The strategy plots the Premium Zone (resistance) in red, the Discount Zone (support) in green, and the Equilibrium level in blue on the chart. This helps visually assess the current price relative to these important areas.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
A 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is added to help identify the trend direction.
Buy signals are valid only if the price is above the SMA, indicating an uptrend.
Sell signals are valid only if the price is below the SMA, indicating a downtrend.
Entry Rules
The script generates buy or sell signals when certain conditions are met:
A buy signal is triggered when:
Price is below the Equilibrium and within the Discount Zone.
Price is above the SMA.
The buy signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent lowest price area).
A sell signal is triggered when:
Price is above the Equilibrium and within the Premium Zone.
Price is below the SMA.
The sell signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent highest price area).
Order Block
The strategy defines Order Blocks as recent highs and lows within a look-back period (orderBlockLength set to 20 by default).
These blocks represent areas where large players (smart money) have historically been active, increasing the probability of the price reacting in these areas again.
Trade Management and Trade Direction
The user can set Trade Direction to either "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both." This allows the strategy to adapt based on market conditions or trading preferences.
Based on the Trade Direction, the strategy either:
Closes open trades that are against new signals.
Allows only specific directional trades (either long or short).
Stop-loss levels are defined based on a fixed percentage (stop_loss_percent), which helps to manage risk and minimize losses.
Exit Rules
The strategy uses stop-loss levels for risk management.
A stop-loss price is set at a fixed percentage below the entry price for long positions or above the entry price for short positions.
When the price hits the defined stop-loss level, the trade is closed.
Liquidity Zones
The script identifies recent Swing Highs and Lows as potential liquidity zones. These are levels where price could react strongly, as they represent areas of interest for large traders.
The liquidity zones are plotted as crosses on the chart, marking areas where price may encounter significant buying or selling pressure.
Visual Feedback
The script uses visual markers (green for buy signals and red for sell signals) to indicate potential entries on the chart.
It also plots liquidity zones to help traders identify areas where stop hunts and liquidity grabs might occur.
Monthly Performance Dashboard
The script includes a performance tracking feature that displays monthly profit and loss metrics on the chart.
This dashboard allows the trader to see a visual representation of trading performance over time, providing insights into profitability and consistency.
The table shows profit or loss for each month and year, allowing the user to track the overall success of the strategy.
Key Benefits
Smart Money Concepts (SMC): This strategy incorporates SMC principles like order blocks and liquidity zones, which are used by institutional traders to determine potential market moves.
Zone Analysis: The use of Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones provides a solid framework for determining where to enter and exit trades based on price discounts or premiums.
Confluence: Signals are not taken in isolation. They are confirmed by factors like trend direction (SMA) and order blocks, providing greater trade accuracy.
Risk Management: By integrating stop-loss functionality, traders can manage their risks effectively.
Visual Performance Metrics: The monthly and yearly performance dashboard gives valuable feedback on how well the strategy has performed historically.
Practical Use
Buy in Discount Zone: Traders would be looking to buy when the price is discounted relative to its recent range and is above the SMA, indicating an overall uptrend.
Sell in Premium Zone: Conversely, traders would be looking to sell when the price is at a premium relative to its recent range and below the SMA, indicating an overall downtrend.
Order Block Confirmation: Ensures that buying or selling is supported by historical price behavior at significant levels, providing confidence that the market is likely to react at these areas.
This strategy is designed to help traders take advantage of price inefficiencies and areas where institutional traders are likely to be active, increasing the odds of successful trades. By leveraging Smart Money concepts and strong technical confluence, it aims to provide high-probability trade setups.

Candle Range Theory [Advanced] - AlgoVisionUnderstanding Candle Range Theory (CRT) in the AlgoVision Indicator
Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a structured approach to analyzing market movements within the price ranges of candlesticks. CRT is founded on the idea that each candlestick on a chart, regardless of timeframe, represents a distinct range of price action, marked by the candle's open, high, low, and close. This range gives insights into market dynamics, and when analyzed in lower timeframes, reveals patterns that indicate underlying market sentiment and institutional behaviors.
Key Concepts of Candle Range Theory
Candlestick Range: The range of a candlestick is simply the distance between its high and low. Across timeframes, this range highlights significant price behavior, with each candlestick representing a snapshot of price movement. The body (distance between open and close) shows the primary price action, while wicks (shadows) reflect price fluctuations or "noise" around this movement.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: A higher-timeframe (HTF) candlestick can be dissected into smaller, structured price movements in lower timeframes (LTFs). By analyzing these smaller movements, traders gain a detailed view of the market’s progression within the HTF candlestick’s range. Each HTF candlestick’s high and low provide support and resistance levels on the LTF, where the price can "sweep," break out, or retest these levels.
Market Behavior within the Range: Price action within a range doesn’t move randomly; it follows structured behavior, often revealing patterns. By analyzing these patterns, CRT provides insights into the market’s intention to accumulate, manipulate, or distribute assets within these ranges. This behavior can indicate future market direction and increase the probability of accurate trading signals.
CRT and ICT Power of 3: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution (AMD)
A foundational element of our CRT indicator is its combination with ICT’s Power of 3 (Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution or AMD). This approach identifies three stages of market movement:
Accumulation: During this phase, institutions accumulate positions within a tight price range, often leading to sideways movement. Here, price consolidates as institutions carefully enter or exit positions, erasing traces of their intent from public view.
Manipulation: Institutions often use manipulation to create false breakouts, targeting retail traders who enter the market on perceived breakouts or reversals. Manipulation is characterized by liquidity grabs, false breakouts, or stop hunts, as price momentarily moves outside the established range before quickly returning.
Distribution: Following accumulation and manipulation, the distribution phase aligns with the true market direction. Institutions now allow the market to move with the trend, initiating a stronger and more sustained price movement that aligns with their intended position.
This AMD cycle is often observed across multiple timeframes, allowing traders to refine entries and exits by identifying accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases on smaller timeframes within the range of a higher-timeframe candle. CRT views this cycle as the "heartbeat" of the market—a continuous loop of price movements. With our indicator, you can identify this cycle on your current timeframe, with the signal candle acting as the "manipulation" candle.
How to Use the Premium AlgoVision CRT Indicator
1. Indicator Display Options
Bullish/Bearish Plot Indication: Toggles the display of bullish or bearish CRT signals. Turn this on to display signals on your chart or off to reduce screen clutter.
Order Block Indication: Highlights the order block entry price, which is the preferred entry point for CRT trades.
Purge Time Indication: Shows when the low or high of Candle 1 is purged by Candle 2, helping to identify potential manipulation points.
2. Filter Options
Match Indicator Candle with Signal: Ensures that only bullish Candle 2s (for longs) or bearish Candle 2s (for shorts) are signaled. This filter helps eliminate signals where the candlestick’s direction does not align with the CRT model.
Take Profit Already Reached: When enabled, this filter removes CRT signals if take profit levels are reached within Candle 2. This helps focus on setups where there’s still room for price movement.
Midnight Price Filter: Filters signals based on midnight price levels:
Longs: Only signals if the order block entry price is below the midnight price.
Shorts: Only signals if the order block entry price is above the midnight price.
3. Entry and Exit Settings
Wick out prevention: Allows positions to stay open and prevent getting wicked out. Positions will still be able to close if determined by the algorithm.
Buy/Sell: This allows you to set you daily bias. You can select to only see buys or sells.
Custom Stop Loss: Sets a custom stop loss distance from the entry price (e.g., $100 or $200 away) if the predefined stop loss based on Candle 2’s low/high doesn’t suit your preference.
Take Profit Levels: Choose from three take profit levels:
Optimized Take Profit: Uses an optimized take profit level based on CRT’s recommended exit point.
Take Profit 1: Sets an initial take profit level.
Take Profit 2: Sets a secondary take profit level for a more extended exit target.
Timeframe of Order Block: Select the timeframe of the order block entry, which can be tailored based on the timeframe of the CRT signal.
Risk-to-Reward Filter: Filters trades based on a specified risk-to-reward ratio, using the indicator’s stop loss as the base. This helps to ensure trades meet minimum reward criteria.
4. Risk Management
Fixed Entry QTY: This will allow you to open all positions with a fixed QTY
Risk to Reward Ratio: This allows you to set a minimum risk to reward ratio, the strategy will only take trades if this risk to reward is met.
Risk Type:

% of account: Allows you to risk % of account equity.
5. Day and Time Filters
Filter by Days: Specify the days of the week for CRT signals to appear. For instance, you could enable signals only on Thursdays. This setting can be adjusted to any day or combination of days.
Purge Time Filter: Filters CRT signals based on specific purge times when Candle 1’s low/high is breached by Candle 2, as CRT setups are observed to work best during certain times.
Hour Filters for CRT Signals:
1-Hour CRT Times: Allows filtering CRT signals based on specific 1-hour time intervals.
4-Hour CRT Times: Filter 4-hour CRT signals based on specified times.
Forex and Futures Conversion: Adjusts times based on standard sessions for Forex (e.g., 9:00 AM 4-hour candle) and Futures (e.g., 10 PM candle for Futures or 8 AM for Crypto).
6. Currency and Asset-Specific Filters
Crypto vs. Forex Mode: This setting adjusts the indicator’s timing to match market sessions specific to either crypto or Forex/Futures, ensuring the CRT model aligns with the asset type.
Additional Notes
Backtesting Options: Adjust these to test risk management, such as risking a fixed amount or a percentage of the account, for historical performance insights.

Setting alerts on the higher timeframe to catch bullish or bearish CRT signals allows you to plan and execute trades on the lower timeframe, aligning your strategy with the broader market flow.
Strategy without indicators v11. General Script Strategy
The objective of this strategy is to open buy or sell orders every new hour based on:
Whether the previous candle closed high (buy) or low (sell).
The presence of tops and bottoms to avoid opening orders at times of possible reversals.
The strategy also allows the user to set a date range (start date and end date) to calculate profit, loss, percentage of gain and percentage of loss only in that period.
2. Initial Settings and Parameters
Start Date and End Date: The start_date and end_date variables define the date range to account for profits and losses. These dates can be adjusted by the user to view results in specific periods.
3. Conditions for Order Entry
At each time change, the script checks the conditions for buying or selling, using the following variables and logic:
Detection of Bullish or Bearish Candle:
bullish_candle: True if the previous candle closed high.
bearish_candle: True if the previous candle closed lower.
Analysis of Tops and Bottoms:
To avoid opening orders close to tops and bottoms, the script uses the function find_top_and_bottom(period), which analyzes the last 500 candles and identifies the highest value (top) and the lowest value (bottom).
The variables current_top and current_bottom store these values.
next_top and next_bottom indicate whether the current candle is close to a top (prevents buying) or a bottom (prevents selling).
4. Opening Orders (Buy and Sell)
At each time change, the script checks the conditions to open buy or sell orders:
Condition for Sell:
The sell order is opened if the previous candle was bullish (bullish_candle) and is not close to a top (not next_top).
If there is an open buy order, it is closed before the new sell order.
Buy Condition:
The buy order is opened if the previous candle was bearish (bearish_candle) and is not near a bottom (not_near_bottom).
If there is an open sell order, it is closed before the new buy order.
5. Calculating Profit and Loss
The profit and loss calculation is only done within the configured date range (start_date and end_date):
Profit and Loss:
total_profit and total_loss accumulate the profit and loss values of all operations during the defined period.
percentage_gain and percentage_loss calculate the percentage of gain and loss in relation to the initial capital.
6. Displaying Results on the Chart
The script displays on the chart, next to the candles, the information on Total Profit, Total Loss, % Gain and % Loss:
Strategy Summary
Setting the Date Range: Allows you to set the period for calculating profit and loss.
Previous Candlestick Analysis: Decide whether to buy or sell based on the previous candlestick.
Preventing Entries at Tops and Bottoms: Avoids buying at tops and selling at bottoms to reduce false signals.
Result Calculation: Accumulates profits, losses and percentages within the configured date range.
Results Display on Chart: Displays the configured statistics directly on the chart, next to the candlesticks.
1. Estratégia Geral do Script
O objetivo dessa estratégia é abrir ordens de compra ou venda a cada nova hora com base em:
Se a vela anterior fechou em alta (compra) ou em baixa (venda).
A presença de topos e fundos para evitar abrir ordens em momentos de possíveis reversões.
A estratégia também permite que o usuário configure um intervalo de datas (data inicial e data final) para calcular o lucro, perda, percentual de ganho e percentual de perda apenas nesse período.
2. Configurações e Parâmetros Iniciais
Data Inicial e Data Final: As variáveis data_inicial e data_final definem o intervalo de datas para contabilizar os lucros e perdas. Essas datas podem ser ajustadas pelo usuário para visualizar resultados em períodos específicos.
3. Condições para Entrada de Ordens
A cada mudança de hora, o script verifica as condições de compra ou venda, usando as seguintes variáveis e lógicas:
Detecção de Vela de Alta ou Baixa:
vela_de_alta: Verdadeiro se a vela anterior fechou em alta.
vela_de_baixa: Verdadeiro se a vela anterior fechou em baixa.
Análise de Topos e Fundos:
Para evitar abrir ordens próximas de topos e fundos, o script utiliza a função find_top_and_bottom(periodo), que analisa as últimas 500 velas e identifica o valor mais alto (topo) e o valor mais baixo (fundo).
As variáveis topo_atual e fundo_atual armazenam esses valores.
topo_proximo e fundo_proximo indicam se a vela atual está perto de um topo (evita compra) ou de um fundo (evita venda).
4. Abertura de Ordens (Compra e Venda)
A cada mudança de hora, o script verifica as condições para abrir ordens de compra ou venda:
Condição para Venda:
A ordem de venda é aberta se a vela anterior foi de alta (vela_de_alta) e não está perto de um topo (not topo_proximo).
Se houver uma ordem de compra aberta, ela é fechada antes da nova ordem de venda.
Condição para Compra:
A ordem de compra é aberta se a vela anterior foi de baixa (vela_de_baixa) e não está perto de um fundo (not fundo_proximo).
Se houver uma ordem de venda aberta, ela é fechada antes da nova ordem de compra.
5. Cálculo de Lucros e Perdas
O cálculo de lucro e perda só é feito dentro do intervalo de datas configurado (data_inicial e data_final):

CCI Threshold StrategyThe CCI Threshold Strategy is a trading approach that utilizes the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) as a momentum indicator to identify potential buy and sell signals in financial markets. The CCI is particularly effective in detecting overbought and oversold conditions, providing traders with insights into possible price reversals. This strategy is designed for use in various financial instruments, including stocks, commodities, and forex, and aims to capitalize on price movements driven by market sentiment.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI was developed by Donald Lambert in the 1980s and is primarily used to measure the deviation of a security's price from its average price over a specified period.
The formula for CCI is as follows:
CCI=(TypicalPrice−SMA)×0.015MeanDeviation
CCI=MeanDeviation(TypicalPrice−SMA)×0.015
where:
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
SMA = Simple Moving Average of the Typical Price
Mean Deviation = Average of the absolute deviations from the SMA
The CCI oscillates around a zero line, with values above +100 indicating overbought conditions and values below -100 indicating oversold conditions (Lambert, 1980).
Strategy Logic
The CCI Threshold Strategy operates on the following principles:
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: The number of periods used to calculate the CCI. A common choice is 9, as it balances responsiveness and noise.
Buy Threshold: Typically set at -90, indicating a potential oversold condition where a price reversal is likely.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy allows for risk management through customizable stop loss and take profit points.
Entry Conditions:
A long position is initiated when the CCI falls below the buy threshold of -90, indicating potential oversold levels. This condition suggests that the asset may be undervalued and due for a price increase.
Exit Conditions:
The long position is closed when the closing price exceeds the highest price of the previous day, indicating a bullish reversal. Additionally, if the stop loss or take profit thresholds are hit, the position will be exited accordingly.
Risk Management:
The strategy incorporates optional stop loss and take profit mechanisms, which can be toggled on or off based on trader preference. This allows for flexibility in risk management, aligning with individual risk tolerances and trading styles.
Benefits of the CCI Threshold Strategy
Flexibility: The CCI Threshold Strategy can be applied across different asset classes, making it versatile for various market conditions.
Objective Signals: The use of quantitative thresholds for entry and exit reduces emotional bias in trading decisions (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974).
Enhanced Risk Management: By allowing traders to set stop loss and take profit levels, the strategy aids in preserving capital and managing risk effectively.
Limitations
Market Noise: The CCI can produce false signals, especially in highly volatile markets, leading to potential losses (Bollinger, 2001).
Lagging Indicator: As a lagging indicator, the CCI may not always capture rapid market movements, resulting in missed opportunities (Pring, 2002).

The Most Powerful TQQQ EMA Crossover Trend Trading StrategyTQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy Indicator
Meta Title: TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy - Enhance Your Trading with Effective Signals
Meta Description: Discover the TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy, designed to optimize trading decisions with fast and slow EMA crossovers. Learn how to effectively use this powerful indicator for better trading results.
Key Features
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy is a powerful trading tool that utilizes Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. Key features of this indicator include:
**Fast and Slow EMAs:** The strategy incorporates two EMAs, allowing traders to capture short-term trends while filtering out market noise.
**Entry and Exit Signals:** Automated signals for entering and exiting trades based on EMA crossovers, enhancing decision-making efficiency.
**Customizable Parameters:** Users can adjust the lengths of the EMAs, as well as take profit and stop loss multipliers, tailoring the strategy to their trading style.
**Visual Indicators:** Clear visual plots of the EMAs and exit points on the chart for easy interpretation.
How It Works
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy operates by calculating two EMAs: a fast EMA (default length of 20) and a slow EMA (default length of 50). The core concept is based on the crossover of these two moving averages:
- When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, it generates a *buy signal*, indicating a potential upward trend.
- Conversely, when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, it produces a *sell signal*, suggesting a potential downward trend.
This method allows traders to capitalize on momentum shifts in the market, providing timely signals for trade execution.
Trading Ideas and Insights
Traders can leverage the TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy in various market conditions. Here are some insights:
**Scalping Opportunities:** The strategy is particularly effective for scalping in volatile markets, allowing traders to make quick profits on small price movements.
**Swing Trading:** Longer-term traders can use this strategy to identify significant trend reversals and capitalize on larger price swings.
**Risk Management:** By incorporating customizable stop loss and take profit levels, traders can manage their risk effectively while maximizing potential returns.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
While this strategy primarily relies on EMAs, it can be enhanced by integrating additional indicators such as:
- **Relative Strength Index (RSI):** To confirm overbought or oversold conditions before entering trades.
- **Volume Indicators:** To validate breakout signals, ensuring that price movements are supported by sufficient trading volume.
Combining these indicators provides a more comprehensive view of market dynamics, increasing the reliability of trade signals generated by the EMA crossover.
Unique Aspects
What sets this indicator apart is its simplicity combined with effectiveness. The reliance on EMAs allows for smoother signals compared to traditional moving averages, reducing false signals often associated with choppy price action.

TrendGuard Scalper: SSL + Hama Candle with Consolidation ZonesThis TradingView script brings a powerful scalping strategy that combines the SSL Channel and Hama Candles indicators with a special twist—consolidation detection. Designed for traders looking for consistency in various markets like crypto, forex, and stocks, this strategy highlights clear trend signals, risk management, and helps filter out risky trades during consolidation periods.
Why Use This Strategy?
Clear Trend Detection:
With the SSL Channel, you’ll know exactly when the market is in an uptrend (green) or downtrend (red), giving you straightforward entry points.
Short-Term Trend Precision with Hama Candles:
By calculating unique EMAs for open, high, low, and close, the Hama Candles show the strength and direction of short-term trends. Combined with the Hama Line, it gives you a solid confirmation on whether the trend is strong or about to reverse, allowing for precise entries and exits.
Avoiding Choppy Markets:
Thanks to ATR-based consolidation detection, this strategy identifies low-volatility periods where the market is “choppy” and less predictable. During these times, a yellow background appears on the chart, warning you to hold off on trades, reducing the likelihood of entering losing trades.
Built-In Risk Management:
With adjustable Take Profit and Stop Loss levels based on price movements, you can set and forget your trades, with a safety net if the market turns against you. The strategy automatically closes positions if the price returns to the Hama Candle, keeping your risk low.
How It Works:
Long Position: When both the SSL and Hama indicators show a green trend, and the price is above the Hama Candles, the strategy opens a long position. Take Profit triggers at your chosen risk-to-reward ratio, while Stop Loss protects you just below the Hama Line.
Short Position: When both indicators align in red and the price is below the Hama Candles, the strategy opens a short. Similar to longs, Stop Loss is set just above the Hama Line, and Take Profit is at your defined level.

S&P 100 Option Expiration Week StrategyThe Option Expiration Week Strategy aims to capitalize on increased volatility and trading volume that often occur during the week leading up to the expiration of options on stocks in the S&P 100 index. This period, known as the option expiration week, culminates on the third Friday of each month when stock options typically expire in the U.S. During this week, investors in this strategy take a long position in S&P 100 stocks or an equivalent ETF from the Monday preceding the third Friday, holding until Friday. The strategy capitalizes on potential upward price pressures caused by increased option-related trading activity, rebalancing, and hedging practices.
The phenomenon leveraged by this strategy is well-documented in finance literature. Studies demonstrate that options expiration dates have a significant impact on stock returns, trading volume, and volatility. This effect is driven by various market dynamics, including portfolio rebalancing, delta hedging by option market makers, and the unwinding of positions by institutional investors (Stoll & Whaley, 1987; Ni, Pearson, & Poteshman, 2005). These market activities intensify near option expiration, causing price adjustments that may create short-term profitable opportunities for those aware of these patterns (Roll, Schwartz, & Subrahmanyam, 2009).
The paper by Johnson and So (2013), Returns and Option Activity over the Option-Expiration Week for S&P 100 Stocks, provides empirical evidence supporting this strategy. The study analyzes the impact of option expiration on S&P 100 stocks, showing that these stocks tend to exhibit abnormal returns and increased volume during the expiration week. The authors attribute these patterns to intensified option trading activity, where demand for hedging and arbitrage around options expiration causes temporary price adjustments.
Scientific Explanation
Research has found that option expiration weeks are marked by predictable increases in stock returns and volatility, largely due to the role of options market makers and institutional investors. Option market makers often use delta hedging to manage exposure, which requires frequent buying or selling of the underlying stock to maintain a hedged position. As expiration approaches, their activity can amplify price fluctuations. Additionally, institutional investors often roll over or unwind positions during expiration weeks, creating further demand for underlying stocks (Stoll & Whaley, 1987). This increased demand around expiration week typically leads to temporary stock price increases, offering profitable opportunities for short-term strategies.

Summary
The Option Expiration Week Strategy utilizes well-researched financial market phenomena related to option expiration. By positioning long in S&P 100 stocks or ETFs during this period, traders can potentially capture abnormal returns driven by option market dynamics. The literature suggests that options-related activities—such as delta hedging, position rollovers, and portfolio adjustments—intensify demand for underlying assets, creating short-term profit opportunities around these key dates.
