TradingIQ - Counter Strike IQIntroducing "Counter Strike IQ" by TradingIQ
Counter Strike IQ is an exclusive trading algorithm developed by TradingIQ, designed to trade upside/downside breakouts of varying significance. By integrating artificial intelligence and IQ Technology, Counter Strike IQ analyzes historical and real-time price data to construct a dynamic trading system adaptable to various asset and timeframe combinations.
Philosophy of Counter Strike IQ
Counter Strike IQ operates on a single premise: Support and resistance levels cannot hold forever. At some point either side must break for the underlying asset to exhibit trends; otherwise, prices would be confined to an infinitely narrowing range.
Counter Strike IQ is designed to work straight out of the box. In fact, its simplicity requires just four user settings to manage output, making it incredibly straightforward to manage.
Minimum ATR Profit, Minimum ATR Stop, EMA Filter and EMA Filter Length are the only settings that manage the performance of Counter Strike IQ!
Traders don’t have to spend hours adjusting settings and trying to find what works best - Counter Strike IQ handles this on its own.

How It Works
Counter Strike IQ operates on a straightforward heuristic: go long during significant upside price moves that break established resistance levels and go short during significant downside price moves that break established support levels.
IQ Technology, TradingIQ's proprietary AI algorithm, defines what constitutes a “significant price move” and what’s considered a tradable breakout. For Counter Strike IQ, this algorithm evaluates all historical support/resistance breaks and any subsequent breakouts. For instance, the price move following up to a breakout is measured and learned from, including the significance of the identified support/resistance level (how long it’s been active, how far price moved away from it, etc). By analyzing these patterns, Counter Strike IQ adapts to identify and trade similar future breakout sequences.
In simple terms, Counter Strike IQ learns from violations of historical support/resistance levels to identify potential entry points at currently established support/resistance levels. Using this knowledge, it determines the optimal, current support/resistance price level where a breakout has a higher chance of occurring.
For long positions, Counter Strike IQ places a stop-market order at the AI-identified resistance point. If price violates this level a market order will be placed and a long position entered. Of course, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. After the position is entered TP1 is placed (identifiable on the price chart). TP1 has a twofold purpose:
Acts as a legitimate profit target to exit 50% of the position.
Once TP1 is closed over, the initial stop loss is converted to a trailing stop, and the long position remains active so long as price continues to uptrend.
For short positions, Counter Strike IQ places a stop-market order at the AI-identified support point. If price violates this level a market order will be placed and a short position entered. Again, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. Upon entry TP1 is placed (identifiable on the price chart). TP1 has a twofold purpose:
Acts as a legitimate profit target to exit 50% of the position.
Once TP1 is closed over, the initial stop loss is converted to a trailing stop, and the short position remains active so long as price continues to downtrend.
As a trading system, Counter Strike IQ exits TP1 using a limit order, with all stop losses exited as stop market orders.
What Classifies As a Tradable Upside Breakout or Tradable Downside Breakout?
For Counter Strike IQ, tradable price breakouts are not manually set but are instead learned by the system. What qualifies as a significant upside or downside breakout in one market might not hold the same significance in another. Counter Strike IQ continuously analyzes historical and current support/resistance levels, how far price has extended from those levels, the raw-dollar price move leading up to a violation of those levels, their longevity, and more, to determine which future levels have a higher chance of breaking out when retested!
The image above illustrates the Strike Channel and explains the corresponding prices and levels
The green upper line represents the Long Breakout Point.
The pink lower line represents the Short Breakout Point.
Any price between the two deviation points is considered “Acceptable”.
The image above shows a long position being entered after the Upside Breakout Point was reached.
Green arrows indicate that the strategy entered a long position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at TP1, the initial stop loss, or at the trailing stop.
Blue lines indicate the TP1 level for the current trade. Red lines indicate the initial stop loss price.
If price closes above TP1, the initial stop loss will be replaced with a trailing stop. A blue line (similar to the blue line shown for TP1) will trail price and correspond to the trailing stop price of the trade.
The image above shows the trailing stop price, represented by a blue line, used for the long position!
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
The image above shows a short position being entered after the Downside Breakout Point was reached.
Red arrows indicate that the strategy entered a short position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at TP1, the initial stop loss, or at the trailing stop.
Blue lines indicate the TP1 level for the current trade. Red lines indicate the initial stop loss price.
If price closes below TP1, the initial stop loss will be replaced with a trailing stop. A blue line (similar to the blue line shown for TP1) will trail price and correspond to the trailing stop price of the trade.
The image above shows the trailing stop price, represented by a blue line, used for the short position!
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
IQ Gradient Graph
The IQ Gradient Graph provides a macro characterization of extreme prices.
The lower macro extremity of the IQ Gradient Graph is colored green, while the upper macro extremity is colored red.
Minimum Profit Target And Stop Loss
The Minimum ATR Profit Target and Minimum ATR Stop Loss setting control the minimum allowed profit target and stop loss distance. On most timeframes users won’t have to alter these settings; however, on very-low timeframes such as the 1-minute chart, users can increase these values so gross profits exceed commission.
After changing either setting, Counter Strike IQ will retrain on historical data - accounting for the newly defined minimum profit target or stop loss.
AI Direction
The AI Direction setting controls the trade direction Counter Strike IQ is allowed to take.
“Trade Longs” allows for long trades.
“Trade Shorts” allows for short trades.
EMA Filter
The EMA Filter setting controls whether the AI should implement an EMA trading filter. Simply, if the EMA Filter is active, long trades can only initiate if price is trading above the user-defined EMA. Conversely, short trades can only initiate if price is trading below the user-defined EMA.
The image above shows the EMA Filter in action!
Verifying Counter Strike IQ’s Effectiveness
Counter Strike IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for the long strategy and the short strategy it uses. This information can be found in the table located in the top-right corner of your chart showing.
This table shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor.
The image above shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor for Counter Strike IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates a strategy profitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor less than 1 indicates a strategy unprofitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor equal to 1 indicates a strategy did not lose or gain money when trading historical price data.
Using Counter Strike IQ
While Counter Strike IQ is a full-fledged trading system with entries and exits - manual traders can certainly make use of its on chart indications and visualizations.
The hallmark feature of Counter Strike IQ is its ability to signal a breakout near its origin point. Long entries are often signaled near the start of a large upside price move; short entries are often signaled near the start of a large downside price move.
For live analysis, the Strike Channel serves as a valuable tool for identifying breakout points.
The further price moves toward the Upside Breakout Point (green), the stronger the indication that price might breakout to the upside. Conversely, the deeper price reaches toward the Downside Breakout Point (red), the stronger the indication that price might breakout to the downside.
Of course, should buying or selling pressure stall, price may fail to breakout at the identified breakout level. This is a natural consequence of any breakout trading strategy!
With this information at hand, traders can quickly switch between charts and timeframes to identify optimized areas of interest.
在腳本中搜尋"stop loss"
TS CalculatorWhat is Trailing Stop?
A trailing stop is a type of stop-loss order that adjusts itself as the price of an asset moves in a favorable direction. It’s designed to lock in profits or limit losses by following the asset’s price movement. Here’s how it works:
How a Trailing Stop Works
Initial Setup: You set a trailing stop at a certain percentage or dollar amount below (for long trades) or above (for short trades) the current market price.
Price Movement: As the price moves in your favor, the trailing stop moves with it, maintaining the set distance.
Locking in Profits: If the price reverses direction by the set amount, the trailing stop triggers a market order to sell (for long trades) or buy (for short trades), locking in your profits or limiting your losses.
Example
Long Trade: If you buy a stock at $100 and set a trailing stop at 10%, the stop-loss order will initially be at $90. If the stock price rises to $120, the trailing stop moves up to $108 (10% below $120). If the price then drops to $108, the trailing stop triggers a sell order.
Short Trade: If you short a stock at $100 and set a trailing stop at 10%, the stop-loss order will initially be at $110. If the stock price falls to $80, the trailing stop moves down to $88 (10% above $80). If the price then rises to $88, the trailing stop triggers a buy order.
Benefits
Automated Risk Management: It helps manage risk without the need to constantly monitor the market.
Profit Protection: It locks in profits as the price moves in your favor.
Flexibility: It adjusts dynamically with the market price, unlike a fixed stop-loss order.

IsAlgo - Manual Channel► Overview:
Manual Channel is a strategy that allows traders to manually insert channel lines and set the lines’ width. Trades are opened when the price hits one of the lines and bounces back, with the expectation that it will move towards the opposite line. This strategy offers flexibility in configuring channel lines and trading behavior.
► Description:
The Manual Channel strategy is based on the use of manually defined channel lines to guide trading decisions. Traders start by marking four key points on the chart to create the channel. The first two points share the same time but different prices, and the last two points also share the same time but different prices. This method allows traders to place the channel lines precisely based on their analysis and insights. Additionally, the strategy allows for adjusting the width of the channel lines, which acts as a buffer zone around the main lines.
Once the channel is established, the strategy continuously monitors the price movements in relation to these lines. When the price touches one of the channel lines, the strategy opens a trade with the expectation that the price will bounce back and move towards the opposite line. For example, if the price hits the lower channel line, a long trade (buy) might be opened with the anticipation that the price will rise to the upper channel line. Conversely, if the price hits the upper channel line, a short trade (sell) might be opened expecting the price to fall to the lower channel line.
The strategy offers several options for managing trades. Traders can choose to close a trade when the price reaches the opposite channel line, capturing the expected movement within the channel. Additionally, if the price breaks outside the channel, traders have the option to close trades immediately or stop further trade executions to avoid potential losses.

KillZones + ACD Fisher [TradingFinder] Sessions + Reversal Level🔵 Introduction
🟣 ACD Method
"The Logical Trader" opens with a thorough exploration of the ACD Methodology, which focuses on pinpointing particular price levels associated with the opening range.
This approach enables traders to establish reference points for their trades, using "A" and "C" points as entry markers. Additionally, the book covers the concept of the "Pivot Range" and how integrating it with the ACD method can help maximize position size while minimizing risk.
🟣 Session
The forex market is operational 24 hours a day, five days a week, closing only on Saturdays and Sundays. Typically, traders prefer to concentrate on one specific forex trading session rather than attempting to trade around the clock.
Trading sessions are defined time periods when a particular financial market is active, allowing for the execution of trades.
The most crucial trading sessions within the 24-hour cycle are the Asia, London, and New York sessions, as these are when substantial money flows and liquidity enter the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets earn profits by capitalizing on the difference between their buy/sell prices and the prevailing market prices.
Traders vary in their trading timelines.Some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading, necessitating activity during periods with optimal trading volumes and notable price movements.
Kill zones refer to parts of a session characterized by higher trading volumes and increased price volatility compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Times
The "Asia Session" comprises two parts: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." This session begins at 23:00 and ends at 06:00 UTC. The "Asia KillZone" starts at 23:00 and ends at 03:55 UTC.
The "London Session" includes "Frankfurt" and "London," starting at 07:00 and ending at 14:25 UTC. The "London KillZone" runs from 07:00 to 09:55 UTC.
The "New York" session starts at 14:30 and ends at 19:25 UTC, with the "New York am KillZone" beginning at 14:30 and ending at 22:55 UTC.
🟣 ACD Methodology
The ACD strategy is versatile, applicable to various markets such as stocks, commodities, and forex, providing clear buy and sell signals to set price targets and stop losses.
This strategy operates on the premise that the opening range of trades holds statistical significance daily, suggesting that initial market movements impact the market's behavior throughout the day.
Known as a breakout strategy, the ACD method thrives in volatile or strongly trending markets like crude oil and stocks.
Some key rules for employing the ACD strategy include :
Utilize points A and C as critical reference points, continually monitoring these during trades as they act as entry and exit markers.
Analyze daily and multi-day pivot ranges to understand market trends. Prices above the pivots indicate an upward trend, while prices below signal a downward trend.
In forex trading, the ACD strategy can be implemented using the ACD indicator, a technical tool that gauges the market's supply and demand balance. By evaluating trading volume and price, this indicator assists traders in identifying trend strength and optimal entry and exit points.
To effectively use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying robust trends: The ACD indicator can help pinpoint strong, consistent market trends.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD generates buy and sell signals to optimize trade timing.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is breached, it’s wise to wait briefly to confirm it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned below the "A down" line. It's advisable to backtest this to ensure the best outcomes. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be verified through backtesting.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is breached, it’s prudent to wait briefly to ensure it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned above the "A up" line. Backtesting is recommended to confirm the best results. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be validated through backtesting.
Advantages of Combining Kill Zone and ACD Method in Market Analysis :
Precise Trade Timing : Integrating the Kill Zone strategy with the ACD Method enhances precision in trade entries and exits. The ACD Method identifies key points for trading, while the Kill Zone focuses on high-activity periods, together ensuring optimal timing for trades.
Better Trend Identification : The ACD Method’s pivot ranges help spot market trends, and when combined with the Kill Zone’s emphasis on periods of significant price movement, traders can more effectively identify and follow strong market trends.
Maximized Profits and Minimized Risks : The ACD Method's structured approach to setting price targets and stop losses, coupled with the Kill Zone's high-volume trading periods, helps maximize profit potential while reducing risk.
Robust Risk Management : Combining these methods provides a comprehensive risk management strategy, strategically placing stop losses and protecting capital during volatile periods.
Versatility Across Markets : Both methods are applicable to various markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex, offering flexibility and adaptability in different trading environments.
Enhanced Confidence : Using the combined insights of the Kill Zone and ACD Method, traders gain confidence in their decision-making process, reducing emotional trading and improving consistency.
By merging the Kill Zone’s focus on trading volumes and the ACD Method’s structured breakout strategy, traders benefit from a synergistic approach that enhances precision, trend identification, and risk management across multiple markets.

TradeTale Reversal Alert 🚀This script explains how RSI Oscillator along with Bollinger Bands & Moving Average can be used to catch "Reversal Points".
What is an Oscillator:-
An oscillator is a technical analysis tool that constructs high and low bands between two extreme values and then builds a trend indicator that fluctuates within these bounds. Traders use the trend indicator to discover short-term overbought or oversold conditions. RSI with MA is used along with minor calculations (maths) in this Oscillator for generating Long and Short signals.
RSI:-
RSI is a momentum oscillator which measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI moves up and down (oscillates) between ZERO and 100. Generally RSI above 70 is considered overbought and below 30 is considered oversold. Some traders may use a setting of 20 and 80 for oversold and overbought conditions respectively. Some traders may use a setting of 10 and 90 for oversold and overbought conditions respectively. However this may reduce the number of signals. 10 to 30 is shown as bullish zone and 70 to 90 is shown as bearish zone in this Oscillator.
Calculation:-
There are three basic components in the RSI - Avg Gain, Avg Loss & RS.
Avg Gain = Average of Upward Price Change
Avg Loss = Average of Downward Price Change
RS = (Avg Gain)/(Avg Loss)
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 +RS ))
First Calculation:-
RSI calculation is based on default 14 periods.
Average gain and Average loss are simple 14 period averages.
Average Loss equals the sum of the losses divided by 14 for the first calculation.
Average Gain equals the sum of the Gains divided by 14 for the first calculation.
First Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 periods / 14.
First Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 periods / 14.
The formula uses a positive value for the average loss.
RS values are smoothed after the first calculation.
Second Calculation:-
Subsequent calculations multiply the prior value by 13, add the most recent value, and divide the total by 14.
Average Gain = / 14.
Average Loss = / 14.
if
Average Loss = 0, RSI = 100 (means there were no losses to measure).
Average Gain = 0, RSI = 0 (means there were no gains to measure).
Moving Average (MA):-
A moving average (MA) is used in technical analysis, used to help smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. A rising moving average indicates that the security is in an uptrend, while a declining moving average indicates a downtrend.
Bollinger Bands (BB):–
It is consists of a Moving Average line and two standard deviation lines that are plotted above and below the moving average line. The moving average periods & standard deviation can be adjust according to the preference. Bollinger Bands help traders to identify the volatility and potential price range of security.
Logic of this indicator:-
RSI is an oscillator that fluctuates between zero and 100 which makes it easy to use for many traders. Its easy to identify extremes because RSI is range-bound.
Bollinger Band Upper and Lower Bands are used to identify Overbought & Oversold points Respectively. Price crossover of these Upper & Lower Bands used to calculate Reversal Points.
BB, RSI and MA calculations along with maths is used to generate signals.
Rocket signal in is Long Signal and also exit Short signal. (Bullish Entry/Exit)
Bear signal is Short Signal and also exit Long signal. (Bearish Entry/Exit)
But remember that RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets. (caution)
A new trader need to be cautious because during strong trends in the market/security, RSI may remain in overbought (70 to 90) or oversold (10 to 30) for extended periods.
Also Bollinger Bands here are used to calculate range reversal, So is less trustworthy in trending markets. (caution)
Chart Timeframe:-
This Indicator works on all timeframes.
Traders should set stop loss and take profit levels as per risk reward ratio.
Note:
Don't confuse RSI and relative strength. RSI is changes in the price momentum of a security.
whereas relative strength compares the price performance of two or more securities.
Like other technical indicators, This indicator also is not a holy grail. It can only assist you in building a good strategy. You can only succeed with proper position sizing, risk management and following correct trading Psychology (No overtrade, No greed, No revenge trade etc).
THIS INDICATOR IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE AND PAPER TRADING ONLY. YOU MAY PAPER TRADE TO GAIN CONFIDENCE AND BUILD FURTHER ON THESE. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR BEFORE INVESTING. WE ARE NOT SEBI REGISTERED.
Hope you all like it
happy learning.

However this may reduce the number of signals. 10 to 30 is shown as bullish zone and 70 to 90 is shown as bearish zone in this Oscillator.
Calculation:-
There are three basic components in the RSI - Avg Gain, Avg Loss & RS.
Avg Gain = Average of Upward Price Change
Avg Loss = Average of Downward Price Change
RS = (Avg Gain)/(Avg Loss)
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 +RS ))
First Calculation:-
RSI calculation is based on default 14 periods.
Average gain and Average loss are simple 14 period averages.
Average Loss equals the sum of the losses divided by 14 for the first calculation.
Average Gain equals the sum of the Gains divided by 14 for the first calculation.
First Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 periods / 14.
First Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 periods / 14.
The formula uses a positive value for the average loss.
RS values are smoothed after the first calculation.
Second Calculation:-
Subsequent calculations multiply the prior value by 13, add the most recent value, and divide the total by 14.
Average Gain = / 14.
Average Loss = / 14.
if
Average Loss = 0, RSI = 100 (means there were no losses to measure).
Average Gain = 0, RSI = 0 (means there were no gains to measure).
Moving Average (MA):-
A moving average (MA) is used in technical analysis, used to help smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. A rising moving average indicates that the security is in an uptrend, while a declining moving average indicates a downtrend.
Logic of this indicator:-
RSI is an oscillator that fluctuates between zero and 100 which makes it easy to use for many traders.
Its easy to identify extremes because RSI is range-bound.
RSI and MA calculations along with maths is used to generate signals.
Rocket signal in white colour is Long Signal and also exit Short signal. (Bullish Entry/Exit)
Scissor signal in orange colour is Short Signal and also exit long signal. (Bearish Entry/Exit)
Green colour band shows bullish momentum & Red colour band shows bearish momentum.
But remember that RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets. (caution)
A new trader need to be cautious because during strong trends in the market/security, RSI may remain in overbought (70 to 90) or oversold (10 to 30) for extended periods.
Chart Timeframe:-
This Oscillator works on all timeframes.
Traders should set stop loss and take profit levels as per risk reward ratio.
Note:
Don't confuse RSI and relative strength. RSI is changes in the price momentum of a security.
whereas relative strength compares the price performance of two or more securities.
Like other technical indicators, This Oscillator also is not a holy grail. It can only assist you in building a good strategy. You can only succeed with proper position sizing, risk management and following correct trading Psychology (No overtrade, No greed, No revenge trade etc).
THIS OSCILLATOR IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE AND PAPER TRADING ONLY. YOU MAY PAPER TRADE TO GAIN CONFIDENCE AND BUILD FURTHER ON THESE. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR BEFORE INVESTING. WE ARE NOT SEBI REGISTERED.
Hope you all like it
happy learning.
RSI 11 IndicatorThis script explains how RSI can be used to catch market moves in trend, reversal or sideways market.
What is RSI indicator:-
RSI is a momentum oscillator which measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI moves up and down (oscillates) between ZERO and 100. Generally RSI above 70 is considered overbought and below 30 is considered oversold. Some traders may use a setting of 20 and 80 for oversold and overbought conditions respectively. However this may reduce the number of signals. You can also use RSI to identify divergences, strength, reversals, general trend etc.
Calculation:-
There are three basic components in the RSI - Avg Gain, Avg Loss & RS.
Avg Gain = Average of Upward Price Change
Avg Loss = Average of Downward Price Change
RS = (Avg Gain)/(Avg Loss)
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 +RS ))
First Calculation:-
RSI calculation is based on default 14 periods.
Average gain and Average loss are simple 14 period averages.
Average Loss equals the sum of the losses divided by 14 for the first calculation.
Average Gain equals the sum of the Gains divided by 14 for the first calculation.
First Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 periods / 14.
First Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 periods / 14.
The formula uses a positive value for the average loss.
RS values are smoothed after the first calculation.
Second Calculation:-
Subsequent calculations multiply the prior value by 13, add the most recent value, and divide the total by 14.
Average Gain = / 14.
Average Loss = / 14.
if
Average Loss = 0, RSI = 100 (means there were no losses to measure).
Average Gain = 0, RSI = 0 (means there were no gains to measure).
Logic of this indicator:-
RSI is an oscillator that fluctuates between zero and 100 which makes it easy to use for many traders.
Its easy to identify extremes because RSI is range-bound.
But remember that RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets.
A new trader need to be cautious because during strong trends in the market/security, RSI may remain in overbought or oversold for extended periods.
Chart Timeframe:-
RSI indicator works well on all timeframes.
Timeframe depends on which strategy or settings are you using.
Generally a lower timeframe like 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 Hr etc is used for intraday trades or short duration trades
and higher timeframes like 1 day, 1 week, 1 month are used for positional or long term trades.
Please Read the Idea "Mastering RSI with 11 Strategies" to understand this indicator better.
Indicator 1
Basis Strategy of Overbought and Oversold
Usually an asset with RSI reading of 70 or above indicates a bullish and an overbought situation.
overbought can be seen as trading at a higher price than it should.
traders may expect a price correction or trend reversal and sell the security.
but RSI indicator can stay in the overbought for a long time when the stock is in uptrend - This may trap an immature trader.
an Immature trader will enter a sell position when RSI become overbought (70), whereas a mature trader will enter sell position when RSI line crosses below the overbought line (70).
An asset with RSI reading of 30 or below indicates a bearish and an oversold condition.
oversold can be seen as trading at a lower price than it should.
traders may expect a price correction or trend reversal and buy the security.
but RSI indicator can stay in the oversold for a long time when the stock is in downtrend - This may trap an immature trader.
an Immature trader will enter a buy position when RSI become oversold (30), whereas a mature trader will enter buy position when RSI line crosses above the oversold line (30).
Center dotted Mid line is RSI 50.
Chart RSI is shown in yellow colour.
Red shaded area above the red horizontal line shows the stock or security has entered overbought condition. "R" signal in red shows a likely downside reversal, means it may be a likely Selling opportunity.
Green shaded area below the green horizontal line shows the stock or security has entered oversold condition. "R" signal in green shows a likely upside reversal, means it may be a likely Buying opportunity.
Note:-
so its better to wait for reversal signal.
traders may use 20 instead of 30 as oversold level and 80 instead of 70 as overbought level.
new traders may learn to use the indicator as per the prevailing trend to get better results.
false signals may be avoided by using bullish signals in bullish trend and bearish signals in bearish trend.
Indicator 2
RSI Strength Crossing 50
RSI crossing centreline 50 in the below chart showing strength and buy/sell signal.
Centre line is at RSI 50.
if RSI is above 50 its considered bullish trend. (increasing strength)
if RSI is below 50 its considered bearish trend. (decreasing strength)
RSI crossing centre line (50) upside may be a buy signal.
RSI crossing centre line (50) downside may be a sell signal.
"B" signal in green colour shows that RSI is crossing above Mid 50 horizontal line, which may be a likely Buy signal.
"S" signal in red colour shows that RSI is crossing below Mid 50 horizontal line, which may be a likely Sell signal.
Indicator 3
RSI 40 and RSI 60 Support and Resistance
RSI 40 acting as support in the below chart
In an uptrend RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range with 40 as support (buying opportunity at support).
RSI 60 acting as resistance in the below chart
In a downtrend RSI tends to remain in 10 to 60 range with 60 as resistance (selling opportunity at resistance).
"40" signal in green colour shows that RSI is crossing above 40 horizontal line, which may be a likely Support in making and a Buy signal.
"60" signal in red colour shows that RSI is crossing below 60 horizontal line, which may be a likely Resistance in making and a Sell signal.
Note:-
These ranges may change depending on RSI settings and change in the market trend.
Indicator 4
RSI Divergence
Below chart shows a simple example of Bullish Divergence and Bearish Divergence.
An RSI divergence occurs when price moves in the opposite direction of the RSI.
A bullish divergence is when price is falling but RSI is rising. which means RSI making higher lows and price making lower lows (buy signal).
A bearish divergence is when price is rising but RSI is falling. which means RSI making lower high and price making higher highs (sell signal).
Divergences are more strong when appear in an overbought or oversold condition.
There may be many false signals during a strong uptrend or strong downtrend.
In a strong uptrend, RSI may show many false bearish divergences before finally reversing down.
same way in a strong downtrend, RSI may show many false bullish divergences before finally reversing up.
"Bull Div" signal along with divergence line in green colour shows Bullish Divergence, which may be a likely Buy signal.
"Bear Div" signal along with divergence line in red colour shows Bearish Divergence, which may be a likely Sell signal.
Indicator 5
Double Top & Double Bottom
Double Bottom = RSI goes below oversold (30). RSI comes back above 30. RSI falls back again towards 30 and again rise making a Double bottom. its a signal of buying and likely upside reversal.
Double Top = RSI goes above overbought (70). RSI comes back below 70. RSI rises back again towards 70 and again fall making a Double top. its a signal of selling and likely downside reversal.
Double Bottom is shown with Green Dashed line joining two low's of RSI indicating a likely Buy Signal.
Double Top is shown with Red Dashed line joining two High's of RSI indicating a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 6
Trendline Support and Resistance
Below chart shows RSI Trendline Resistance and Support
RSI resistance trendline = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it falls to draw a RSI downtrend line (RSI resistance trendline).
Everytime it takes resistance from a RSI downtrend line its a selling opportunity.
RSI support trendline = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it rises to draw a RSI uptrend line (RSI support trendline).
Everytime it takes support on a RSI uptrend line its a buying opportunity.
RSI Resistance trendline shown in Red colour indicating a likely fall again after rejection from this Red trendline till the time RSI breaks above it to change the trend from Bearsih to Bullish.
RSI support trendline shown in Green colour indicating a likely Rise again after support from this Green trendline till the time RSI breaks below it to change the trend from Bullish to Bearish.
Indicator 7
Trendline Breakout and Breakdown
Below chart shows RSI Trendline Breakout and Breakdown
RSI resistance trendline Breakout = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it falls to draw a RSI downtrend line (RSI resistance trendline).
Whenever it breakout above RSI resistance trendline its a buying opportunity.
RSI support trendline Breakdown = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it rises to draw a RSI uptrend line (RSI support trendline).
Whenever it breakdown below RSI support trendline its a selling opportunity.
Note:-
Correlate both the RSI and the closing price to ensure proper breakout or breakdown.
Challenge is to correctly identify if a breakout or breakdown is sustainable or its a false signal.
Indicator 8
RSI Crossover same timeframe
RSI with two different RSI length crossing each other on same timeframe.
when lower RSI length crossing above higher RSI length its a buy signal.
when lower RSI length crossing below higher RSI length its a sell signal.
for example RSI with length 7 & length 14 on 15 Minutes timeframe.
Green Cross shows that Fast RSI is crossing above Slow RSI on the same timeframe with different RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Red Cross shows that Fast RSI is crossing below Slow RSI on the same timeframe with different RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 9
RSI Crossover Multi timeframe
RSI with same RSI length but on two different timeframes crossing each.
when lower timeframe RSI crossing above higher timeframe RSI its a buy signal.
when lower timeframe RSI crossing below higher timeframe RSI its a sell signal.
for example RSI with length 14 on 5 Minutes and 1 Hr timeframes.
Green Cross shows that Lower Timeframe RSI is crossing above Higher Timeframe RSI with same RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Red Cross shows that Lower Timeframe RSI is crossing below Higher Timeframe RSI with same RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 10
RSI EMA/WMA/SMA Crossover
when RSI crossing above EMA/WMA/SMA its a buy signal.
when RSI crossing below EMA/WMA/SMA its a sell signal.
Green Circle shows that RSI is crossing above EMA/WMA/SMA etc, which means it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Red Circle shows that RSI is crossing below EMA/WMA/SMA etc, which means it may be a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 11
RSI with Bollinger bands
Bollinger bands and RSI complimenting each other and giving a Buy and Sell signal in below chart
if a security price reaches upper band of a Bollinger Band channel and also the RSI is above 70 (overbought), a trader can look for selling opportunities (reversal) (sell).
but in case price reaches upper band of a Bollinger Band channel but RSI is not above 70 (overbought), there may be chance that security remains in an uptrend, so a trader may wait before entering a sell position.
if a security price reaches lower band of a Bollinger Band channel and also the RSI is below 30 (oversold), a trader can look for buying opportunities (reversal) (buy).
but in case price reaches lower band of a Bollinger Band channel but RSI is not below 30 (oversold), there may be chance that security remains in an downtrend, so a trader may wait before entering a buy position.
so bollinger band with RSI can give a double confirmation on a reversal.
Buy Signal = If the RSI is below Green Horizontal line (Oversold zone) and also below Lower Bollinger Band it indicates that an upside reversal may come, which means that it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Sell Signal = If the RSI is above Red Horizontal line (Overbought zone) and also above Upper Bollinger Band it indicates that an Downside reversal may come, which means that it may be a likely Sell Signal.

Limitations of the RSI:-
RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets.
So new traders may get trapped in an uptrend or a downtrend if they forget to see the overall long term trend of that security.
Traders should set stop loss and take profit levels as per risk reward ratio.
Note:
Don't confuse RSI and relative strength. RSI is changes in the price momentum of a security.
whereas relative strength compares the price performance of two or more securities.
Like other technical indicators, RSI also is not a holy grail. It can only assist you in building a good strategy. You can only succeed with proper position sizing, risk management and following correct trading Psychology (No overtrade, No greed, No revenge trade etc).

GKD-M Baseline Optimizer [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-M Baseline Optimizer is a Metamorphosis module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
The Baseline Optimizer enables traders to backtest over 60 moving averages using variable period inputs. It then exports the baseline with the highest cumulative win rate per candle to any baseline-enabled GKD backtest. To perform the backtesting, the trader selects an initial period input (default is 60) and a skip value that increments the initial period input up to seven times. For instance, if a skip value of 5 is chosen, the Baseline Optimizer will run the backtest for the selected moving average on periods such as 60, 65, 70, 75, and so on, up to 90. If the user selects an initial period input of 45 and a skip value of 2, the Baseline Optimizer will conduct backtests for the chosen moving average on periods like 45, 47, 49, 51, and so forth, up to 57.
The Baseline Optimizer provides a table displaying the output of the backtests for a specified date range. The table output represents the cumulative win rate for the given date range.
On the Metamorphosis side of the Baseline Optimizer, a cumulative backtest is calculated for each candle within the date range. This means that each candle may exhibit a different distribution of period inputs with the highest win rate for a particular moving average. The Baseline Optimizer identifies the period input combination with the highest win rates for long and short positions and creates a win-rate adaptive long and short moving average chart. The moving average used for shorts differs from the moving average used for longs, and the moving average for each candle may vary from any other candle. This customized baseline can then be exported to all baseline-enabled GKD backtests.
The backtest employed in the Baseline Optimizer is a Solo Confirmation Simple, allowing only one take profit and one stop loss to be set.
Lastly, the Baseline Optimizer incorporates Goldie Locks Zone filtering, which can be utilized for signal generation in advanced GKD backtests.

Adaptive Moving Average - AMA
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a moving average that changes its sensitivity to price moves depending on the calculated volatility. It becomes more sensitive during periods when the price is moving smoothly in a certain direction and becomes less sensitive when the price is volatile.
ADXvma - Average Directional Volatility Moving Average
Linnsoft's ADXvma formula is a volatility-based moving average, with the volatility being determined by the value of the ADX indicator.
The ADXvma has the SMA in Chande's CMO replaced with an EMA , it then uses a few more layers of EMA smoothing before the "Volatility Index" is calculated.
A side effect is, those additional layers slow down the ADXvma when you compare it to Chande's Variable Index Dynamic Average VIDYA .
The ADXVMA provides support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends and will stay flat for longer, but will create some of the most accurate market signals when it decides to move.
Ahrens Moving Average
Richard D. Ahrens's Moving Average promises "Smoother Data" that isn't influenced by the occasional price spike. It works by using the Open and the Close in his formula so that the only time the Ahrens Moving Average will change is when the candlestick is either making new highs or new lows.
Alexander Moving Average - ALXMA
This Moving Average uses an elaborate smoothing formula and utilizes a 7 period Moving Average. It corresponds to fitting a second-order polynomial to seven consecutive observations. This moving average is rarely used in trading but is interesting as this Moving Average has been applied to diffusion indexes that tend to be very volatile.
Deviation Scaled Moving Average - DSMA
The Deviation-Scaled Moving Average is a data smoothing technique that acts like an exponential moving average with a dynamic smoothing coefficient. The smoothing coefficient is automatically updated based on the magnitude of price changes. In the Deviation-Scaled Moving Average, the standard deviation from the mean is chosen to be the measure of this magnitude. The resulting indicator provides substantial smoothing of the data even when price changes are small while quickly adapting to these changes.
Donchian
Donchian Channels are three lines generated by moving average calculations that comprise an indicator formed by upper and lower bands around a midrange or median band. The upper band marks the highest price of a security over N periods while the lower band marks the lowest price of a security over N periods.
Double Exponential Moving Average - DEMA
The Double Exponential Moving Average ( DEMA ) combines a smoothed EMA and a single EMA to provide a low-lag indicator. It's primary purpose is to reduce the amount of "lagging entry" opportunities, and like all Moving Averages, the DEMA confirms uptrends whenever price crosses on top of it and closes above it, and confirms downtrends when the price crosses under it and closes below it - but with significantly less lag.
Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average - DSEMA
The Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average is a lot less laggy compared to a traditional EMA . It's also considered a leading indicator compared to the EMA , and is best utilized whenever smoothness and speed of reaction to market changes are required.
Double Smoothed FEMA - DSFEMA
Same as the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a faster version of EMA for its calculation.
Double Smoothed Range Weighted EMA - DSRWEMA
Range weighted exponential moving average (EMA) is, unlike the "regular" range weighted average calculated in a different way. Even though the basis - the range weighting - is the same, the way how it is calculated is completely different. By definition this type of EMA is calculated as a ratio of EMA of price*weight / EMA of weight. And the results are very different and the two should be considered as completely different types of averages. The higher than EMA to price changes responsiveness when the ranges increase remains in this EMA too and in those cases this EMA is clearly leading the "regular" EMA. This version includes double smoothing.
Double Smoothed Wilders EMA - DSWEMA
Welles Wilder was frequently using one "special" case of EMA (Exponential Moving Average) that is due to that fact (that he used it) sometimes called Wilder's EMA. This version is adding double smoothing to Wilder's EMA in order to make it "faster" (it is more responsive to market prices than the original) and is still keeping very smooth values.
Double Weighted Moving Average - DWMA
Double weighted moving average is an LWMA (Linear Weighted Moving Average). Instead of doing one cycle for calculating the LWMA, the indicator is made to cycle the loop 2 times. That produces a smoother values than the original LWMA
Exponential Moving Average - EMA
The EMA places more significance on recent data points and moves closer to price than the SMA ( Simple Moving Average ). It reacts faster to volatility due to its emphasis on recent data and is known for its ability to give greater weight to recent and more relevant data. The EMA is therefore seen as an enhancement over the SMA .
Fast Exponential Moving Average - FEMA
An Exponential Moving Average with a short look-back period.
Fractal Adaptive Moving Average - FRAMA
The Fractal Adaptive Moving Average by John Ehlers is an intelligent adaptive Moving Average which takes the importance of price changes into account and follows price closely enough to display significant moves whilst remaining flat if price ranges. The FRAMA does this by dynamically adjusting the look-back period based on the market's fractal geometry.
Generalized DEMA - GDEMA
The double exponential moving average (DEMA), was developed by Patrick Mulloy in an attempt to reduce the amount of lag time found in traditional moving averages. It was first introduced in the February 1994 issue of the magazine Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities in Mulloy's article "Smoothing Data with Faster Moving Averages.". Instead of using fixed multiplication factor in the final DEMA formula, the generalized version allows you to change it. By varying the "volume factor" form 0 to 1 you apply different multiplications and thus producing DEMA with different "speed" - the higher the volume factor is the "faster" the DEMA will be (but also the slope of it will be less smooth). The volume factor is limited in the calculation to 1 since any volume factor that is larger than 1 is increasing the overshooting to the extent that some volume factors usage makes the indicator unusable.
Generalized Double DEMA - GDDEMA
The double exponential moving average (DEMA), was developed by Patrick Mulloy in an attempt to reduce the amount of lag time found in traditional moving averages. It was first introduced in the February 1994 issue of the magazine Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities in Mulloy's article "Smoothing Data with Faster Moving Averages''. This is an extension of the Generalized DEMA using Tim Tillsons (the inventor of T3) idea, and is using GDEMA of GDEMA for calculation (which is the "middle step" of T3 calculation). Since there are no versions showing that middle step, this version covers that too. The result is smoother than Generalized DEMA, but is less smooth than T3 - one has to do some experimenting in order to find the optimal way to use it, but in any case, since it is "faster" than the T3 (Tim Tillson T3) and still smooth, it looks like a good compromise between speed and smoothness.
Hull Moving Average (Type 1) - HMA1
Alan Hull's HMA makes use of weighted moving averages to prioritize recent values and greatly reduce lag whilst maintaining the smoothness of a traditional Moving Average. For this reason, it's seen as a well-suited Moving Average for identifying entry points. This version uses SMA for smoothing.
Hull Moving Average (Type 2) - HMA2
Alan Hull's HMA makes use of weighted moving averages to prioritize recent values and greatly reduce lag whilst maintaining the smoothness of a traditional Moving Average. For this reason, it's seen as a well-suited Moving Average for identifying entry points. This version uses EMA for smoothing.
Hull Moving Average (Type 3) - HMA3
Alan Hull's HMA makes use of weighted moving averages to prioritize recent values and greatly reduce lag whilst maintaining the smoothness of a traditional Moving Average. For this reason, it's seen as a well-suited Moving Average for identifying entry points. This version uses LWMA for smoothing.
Hull Moving Average (Type 4) - HMA4
Alan Hull's HMA makes use of weighted moving averages to prioritize recent values and greatly reduce lag whilst maintaining the smoothness of a traditional Moving Average. For this reason, it's seen as a well-suited Moving Average for identifying entry points. This version uses SMMA for smoothing.
IE /2 - Early T3 by Tim Tilson and T3 new
The T3 moving average is a type of technical indicator used in financial analysis to identify trends in price movements. It is similar to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a different smoothing algorithm.
The T3 moving average is calculated using a series of exponential moving averages that are designed to filter out noise and smooth the data. The resulting smoothed data is then weighted with a non-linear function to produce a final output that is more responsive to changes in trend direction.
The T3 moving average can be customized by adjusting the length of the moving average, as well as the weighting function used to smooth the data. It is commonly used in conjunction with other technical indicators as part of a larger trading strategy.
Integral of Linear Regression Slope - ILRS
A Moving Average where the slope of a linear regression line is simply integrated as it is fitted in a moving window of length N (natural numbers in maths) across the data. The derivative of ILRS is the linear regression slope. ILRS is not the same as a SMA ( Simple Moving Average ) of length N, which is actually the midpoint of the linear regression line as it moves across the data.
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average - KAMA
Developed by Perry Kaufman, Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a moving average designed to account for market noise or volatility. KAMA will closely follow prices when the price swings are relatively small and the noise is low.
Leader Exponential Moving Average
The Leader EMA was created by Giorgos E. Siligardos who created a Moving Average which was able to eliminate lag altogether whilst maintaining some smoothness. It was first described during his research paper "MACD Leader" where he applied this to the MACD to improve its signals and remove its lagging issue. This filter uses his leading MACD's "modified EMA" and can be used as a zero lag filter.
Linear Regression Value - LSMA ( Least Squares Moving Average )
LSMA as a Moving Average is based on plotting the end point of the linear regression line. It compares the current value to the prior value and a determination is made of a possible trend, eg. the linear regression line is pointing up or down.
Linear Weighted Moving Average - LWMA
LWMA reacts to price quicker than the SMA and EMA . Although it's similar to the Simple Moving Average , the difference is that a weight coefficient is multiplied to the price which means the most recent price has the highest weighting, and each prior price has progressively less weight. The weights drop in a linear fashion.
McGinley Dynamic
John McGinley created this Moving Average to track prices better than traditional Moving Averages. It does this by incorporating an automatic adjustment factor into its formula, which speeds (or slows) the indicator in trending, or ranging, markets.
McNicholl EMA
Dennis McNicholl developed this Moving Average to use as his center line for his "Better Bollinger Bands" indicator and was successful because it responded better to volatility changes over the standard SMA and managed to avoid common whipsaws.
Non-lag moving average
The Non Lag Moving average follows price closely and gives very quick signals as well as early signals of price change. As a standalone Moving Average, it should not be used on its own, but as an additional confluence tool for early signals.
Ocean NMA Moving Average - ONMAMA
Created by Jim Sloman, the NMA is a moving average that automatically adjusts to volatility without being programmed to do so. For more info, read his guide "Ocean Theory, an Introduction"
One More Moving Average (OMA)
The One More Moving Average (OMA) is a technical indicator that calculates a series of Jurik-style moving averages in order to reduce noise and provide smoother price data. It uses six exponential moving averages to generate the final value, with the length of the moving averages determined by an adaptive algorithm that adjusts to the current market conditions. The algorithm calculates the average period by comparing the signal to noise ratio and using this value to determine the length of the moving averages. The resulting values are used to generate the final value of the OMA, which can be used to identify trends and potential changes in trend direction.
Parabolic Weighted Moving Average
The Parabolic Weighted Moving Average is a variation of the Linear Weighted Moving Average . The Linear Weighted Moving Average calculates the average by assigning different weights to each element in its calculation. The Parabolic Weighted Moving Average is a variation that allows weights to be changed to form a parabolic curve. It is done simply by using the Power parameter of this indicator.
Probability Density Function Moving Average - PDFMA
Probability density function based MA is a sort of weighted moving average that uses probability density function to calculate the weights. By its nature it is similar to a lot of digital filters.
Quadratic Regression Moving Average - QRMA
A quadratic regression is the process of finding the equation of the parabola that best fits a set of data. This moving average is an obscure concept that was posted to Forex forums in around 2008.
Regularized EMA - REMA
The regularized exponential moving average (REMA) by Chris Satchwell is a variation on the EMA (see Exponential Moving Average) designed to be smoother but not introduce too much extra lag.
Range Weighted EMA - RWEMA
This indicator is a variation of the range weighted EMA. The variation comes from a possible need to make that indicator a bit less "noisy" when it comes to slope changes. The method used for calculating this variation is the method described by Lee Leibfarth in his article "Trading With An Adaptive Price Zone".
Recursive Moving Trendline
Dennis Meyers's Recursive Moving Trendline uses a recursive (repeated application of a rule) polynomial fit, a technique that uses a small number of past values estimations of price and today's price to predict tomorrow's price.
Simple Decycler - SDEC
The Ehlers Simple Decycler study is a virtually zero-lag technical indicator proposed by John F. Ehlers. The original idea behind this study (and several others created by John F. Ehlers) is that market data can be considered a continuum of cycle periods with different cycle amplitudes. Thus, trending periods can be considered segments of longer cycles, or, in other words, low-frequency segments. Applying the right filter might help identify these segments.
Simple Loxx Moving Average - SLMA
A three stage moving average combining an adaptive EMA, a Kalman Filter, and a Kauffman adaptive filter.
Simple Moving Average - SMA
The SMA calculates the average of a range of prices by adding recent prices and then dividing that figure by the number of time periods in the calculation average. It is the most basic Moving Average which is seen as a reliable tool for starting off with Moving Average studies. As reliable as it may be, the basic moving average will work better when it's enhanced into an EMA .
Sine Weighted Moving Average
The Sine Weighted Moving Average assigns the most weight at the middle of the data set. It does this by weighting from the first half of a Sine Wave Cycle and the most weighting is given to the data in the middle of that data set. The Sine WMA closely resembles the TMA (Triangular Moving Average).
Smoothed LWMA - SLWMA
A smoothed version of the LWMA
Smoothed Moving Average - SMMA
The Smoothed Moving Average is similar to the Simple Moving Average ( SMA ), but aims to reduce noise rather than reduce lag. SMMA takes all prices into account and uses a long lookback period. Due to this, it's seen as an accurate yet laggy Moving Average.
Smoother
The Smoother filter is a faster-reacting smoothing technique which generates considerably less lag than the SMMA ( Smoothed Moving Average ). It gives earlier signals but can also create false signals due to its earlier reactions. This filter is sometimes wrongly mistaken for the superior Jurik Smoothing algorithm.
Super Smoother
The Super Smoother filter uses John Ehlers’s “Super Smoother” which consists of a Two pole Butterworth filter combined with a 2-bar SMA ( Simple Moving Average ) that suppresses the 22050 Hz Nyquist frequency: A characteristic of a sampler, which converts a continuous function or signal into a discrete sequence.
Three-pole Ehlers Butterworth
The 3 pole Ehlers Butterworth (as well as the Two pole Butterworth) are both superior alternatives to the EMA and SMA . They aim at producing less lag whilst maintaining accuracy. The 2 pole filter will give you a better approximation for price, whereas the 3 pole filter has superior smoothing.
Three-pole Ehlers smoother
The 3 pole Ehlers smoother works almost as close to price as the above mentioned 3 Pole Ehlers Butterworth. It acts as a strong baseline for signals but removes some noise. Side by side, it hardly differs from the Three Pole Ehlers Butterworth but when examined closely, it has better overshoot reduction compared to the 3 pole Ehlers Butterworth.
Triangular Moving Average - TMA
The TMA is similar to the EMA but uses a different weighting scheme. Exponential and weighted Moving Averages will assign weight to the most recent price data. Simple moving averages will assign the weight equally across all the price data. With a TMA (Triangular Moving Average), it is double smoother (averaged twice) so the majority of the weight is assigned to the middle portion of the data.
Triple Exponential Moving Average - TEMA
The TEMA uses multiple EMA calculations as well as subtracting lag to create a tool which can be used for scalping pullbacks. As it follows price closely, its signals are considered very noisy and should only be used in extremely fast-paced trading conditions.
Two-pole Ehlers Butterworth
The 2 pole Ehlers Butterworth (as well as the three pole Butterworth mentioned above) is another filter that cuts out the noise and follows the price closely. The 2 pole is seen as a faster, leading filter over the 3 pole and follows price a bit more closely. Analysts will utilize both a 2 pole and a 3 pole Butterworth on the same chart using the same period, but having both on chart allows its crosses to be traded.
Two-pole Ehlers smoother
A smoother version of the Two pole Ehlers Butterworth. This filter is the faster version out of the 3 pole Ehlers Butterworth. It does a decent job at cutting out market noise whilst emphasizing a closer following to price over the 3 pole Ehlers .
Variable Index Dynamic Average - VIDYA
Variable Index Dynamic Average Technical Indicator ( VIDYA ) was developed by Tushar Chande. It is an original method of calculating the Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) with the dynamically changing period of averaging.
Variable Moving Average - VMA
The Variable Moving Average (VMA) is a study that uses an Exponential Moving Average being able to automatically adjust its smoothing factor according to the market volatility.
Volume Weighted EMA - VEMA
An EMA that uses a volume and price weighted calculation instead of the standard price input.
Volume Weighted Moving Average - VWMA
A Volume Weighted Moving Average is a moving average where more weight is given to bars with heavy volume than with light volume. Thus the value of the moving average will be closer to where most trading actually happened than it otherwise would be without being volume weighted.
Zero-Lag DEMA - Zero Lag Double Exponential Moving Average
John Ehlers's Zero Lag DEMA's aim is to eliminate the inherent lag associated with all trend following indicators which average a price over time. Because this is a Double Exponential Moving Average with Zero Lag, it has a tendency to overshoot and create a lot of false signals for swing trading. It can however be used for quick scalping or as a secondary indicator for confluence.
Zero-Lag Moving Average
The Zero Lag Moving Average is described by its creator, John Ehlers , as a Moving Average with absolutely no delay. And it's for this reason that this filter will cause a lot of abrupt signals which will not be ideal for medium to long-term traders. This filter is designed to follow price as close as possible whilst de-lagging data instead of basing it on regular data. The way this is done is by attempting to remove the cumulative effect of the Moving Average.
Zero-Lag TEMA - Zero Lag Triple Exponential Moving Average
Just like the Zero Lag DEMA , this filter will give you the fastest signals out of all the Zero Lag Moving Averages. This is useful for scalping but dangerous for medium to long-term traders, especially during market Volatility and news events. Having no lag, this filter also has no smoothing in its signals and can cause some very bizarre behavior when applied to certain indicators.
█ Volatility Goldie Locks Zone
The Goldie Locks Zone volatility filter is the standard first-pass filter used in all advanced GKD backtests (Complex, Super Complex, and Full GKd). This filter requires the price to fall within a range determined by multiples of volatility. The Goldie Locks Zone is separate from the core Baseline and utilizes its own moving average with Loxx's Exotic Source Types you can read about below.
On the chart, you will find green and red dots positioned at the top, indicating whether a candle qualifies for a long or short trade respectively. Additionally, green and red triangles are located at the bottom of the chart, signifying whether the trigger has crossed up or down and qualifies within the Goldie Locks zone. The Goldie Locks zone is represented by a white color on the mean line, indicating low volatility levels that are not suitable for trading.
█ Volatility Types Included in the Baseline Optimizer
The GKD system utilizes volatility-based take profits and stop losses. Each take profit and stop loss is calculated as a multiple of volatility. Users can also adjust the multiplier values in the settings.
This module includes 17 types of volatility:

Various volatility estimators and indicators that investors and traders can use to measure the dispersion or volatility of a financial instrument's price. Each estimator has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of estimator should depend on the specific needs and circumstances of the user.
Close-to-Close
Close-to-Close volatility is a classic and widely used volatility measure, sometimes referred to as historical volatility.
Volatility is an indicator of the speed of a stock price change. A stock with high volatility is one where the price changes rapidly and with a larger amplitude. The more volatile a stock is, the riskier it is.
Close-to-close historical volatility is calculated using only a stock's closing prices. It is the simplest volatility estimator. However, in many cases, it is not precise enough. Stock prices could jump significantly during a trading session and return to the opening value at the end. That means that a considerable amount of price information is not taken into account by close-to-close volatility.
Despite its drawbacks, Close-to-Close volatility is still useful in cases where the instrument doesn't have intraday prices. For example, mutual funds calculate their net asset values daily or weekly, and thus their prices are not suitable for more sophisticated volatility estimators.
Parkinson
Parkinson volatility is a volatility measure that uses the stock’s high and low price of the day.
The main difference between regular volatility and Parkinson volatility is that the latter uses high and low prices for a day, rather than only the closing price. This is useful as close-to-close prices could show little difference while large price movements could have occurred during the day. Thus, Parkinson's volatility is considered more precise and requires less data for calculation than close-to-close volatility.
One drawback of this estimator is that it doesn't take into account price movements after the market closes. Hence, it systematically undervalues volatility. This drawback is addressed in the Garman-Klass volatility estimator.
Garman-Klass
Garman-Klass is a volatility estimator that incorporates open, low, high, and close prices of a security.
Garman-Klass volatility extends Parkinson's volatility by taking into account the opening and closing prices. As markets are most active during the opening and closing of a trading session, it makes volatility estimation more accurate.
Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change follows a continuous diffusion process (Geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements.
Despite its drawbacks, the Garman-Klass estimator is still more effective than the basic formula since it takes into account not only the price at the beginning and end of the time interval but also intraday price extremes.
Researchers Rogers and Satchell have proposed a more efficient method for assessing historical volatility that takes into account price trends. See Rogers-Satchell Volatility for more detail.
Rogers-Satchell
Rogers-Satchell is an estimator for measuring the volatility of securities with an average return not equal to zero.
Unlike Parkinson and Garman-Klass estimators, Rogers-Satchell incorporates a drift term (mean return not equal to zero). As a result, it provides better volatility estimation when the underlying is trending.
The main disadvantage of this method is that it does not take into account price movements between trading sessions. This leads to an underestimation of volatility since price jumps periodically occur in the market precisely at the moments between sessions.
A more comprehensive estimator that also considers the gaps between sessions was developed based on the Rogers-Satchel formula in the 2000s by Yang-Zhang. See Yang Zhang Volatility for more detail.
Yang-Zhang
Yang Zhang is a historical volatility estimator that handles both opening jumps and the drift and has a minimum estimation error.
Yang-Zhang volatility can be thought of as a combination of the overnight (close-to-open volatility) and a weighted average of the Rogers-Satchell volatility and the day’s open-to-close volatility. It is considered to be 14 times more efficient than the close-to-close estimator.
Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang
Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang (GKYZ) volatility estimator incorporates the returns of open, high, low, and closing prices in its calculation.
GKYZ volatility estimator takes into account overnight jumps but not the trend, i.e., it assumes that the underlying asset follows a Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) process with zero drift. Therefore, the GKYZ volatility estimator tends to overestimate the volatility when the drift is different from zero. However, for a GBM process, this estimator is eight times more efficient than the close-to-close volatility estimator.
Exponential Weighted Moving Average
The Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) is a quantitative or statistical measure used to model or describe a time series. The EWMA is widely used in finance, with the main applications being technical analysis and volatility modeling.
The moving average is designed such that older observations are given lower weights. The weights decrease exponentially as the data point gets older – hence the name exponentially weighted.
The only decision a user of the EWMA must make is the parameter lambda. The parameter decides how important the current observation is in the calculation of the EWMA. The higher the value of lambda, the more closely the EWMA tracks the original time series.
Standard Deviation of Log Returns
This is the simplest calculation of volatility. It's the standard deviation of ln(close/close(1)).
Pseudo GARCH(2,2)
This is calculated using a short- and long-run mean of variance multiplied by ?.
?avg(var;M) + (1 ? ?) avg(var;N) = 2?var/(M+1-(M-1)L) + 2(1-?)var/(M+1-(M-1)L)
Solving for ? can be done by minimizing the mean squared error of estimation; that is, regressing L^-1var - avg(var; N) against avg(var; M) - avg(var; N) and using the resulting beta estimate as ?.
Average True Range
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges.
True Range Double
A special case of ATR that attempts to correct for volatility skew.
Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance. The standard deviation is calculated as the square root of variance by determining each data point's deviation relative to the mean. If the data points are further from the mean, there is a higher deviation within the data set; thus, the more spread out the data, the higher the standard deviation.
Adaptive Deviation
By definition, the Standard Deviation (STD, also represented by the Greek letter sigma ? or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. In technical analysis, we usually use it to measure the level of current volatility.
Standard Deviation is based on Simple Moving Average calculation for mean value. This version of standard deviation uses the properties of EMA to calculate what can be called a new type of deviation, and since it is based on EMA, we can call it EMA deviation. Additionally, Perry Kaufman's efficiency ratio is used to make it adaptive (since all EMA type calculations are nearly perfect for adapting).
The difference when compared to the standard is significant--not just because of EMA usage, but the efficiency ratio makes it a "bit more logical" in very volatile market conditions.
Median Absolute Deviation
The median absolute deviation is a measure of statistical dispersion. Moreover, the MAD is a robust statistic, being more resilient to outliers in a data set than the standard deviation. In the standard deviation, the distances from the mean are squared, so large deviations are weighted more heavily, and thus outliers can heavily influence it. In the MAD, the deviations of a small number of outliers are irrelevant.
Because the MAD is a more robust estimator of scale than the sample variance or standard deviation, it works better with distributions without a mean or variance, such as the Cauchy distribution.
For this indicator, a manual recreation of the quantile function in Pine Script is used. This is so users have a full inside view into how this is calculated.
Efficiency-Ratio Adaptive ATR
Average True Range (ATR) is a widely used indicator for many occasions in technical analysis. It is calculated as the RMA of the true range. This version adds a "twist": it uses Perry Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio to calculate adaptive true range.
Mean Absolute Deviation
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a measure of variability that indicates the average distance between observations and their mean. MAD uses the original units of the data, which simplifies interpretation. Larger values signify that the data points spread out further from the average. Conversely, lower values correspond to data points bunching closer to it. The mean absolute deviation is also known as the mean deviation and average absolute deviation.
This definition of the mean absolute deviation sounds similar to the standard deviation (SD). While both measure variability, they have different calculations. In recent years, some proponents of MAD have suggested that it replace the SD as the primary measure because it is a simpler concept that better fits real life.

What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
Heiken Ashi "better" candles are a modified version of the standard Heiken Ashi candles, which are a popular charting technique used in technical analysis. Heiken Ashi candles help traders identify trends and potential reversal points by smoothing out price data and reducing market noise. The "better formula" was proposed by Sebastian Schmidt in an article published by BNP Paribas in Warrants & Zertifikate, a German magazine, in August 2004. The aim of this formula is to further improve the smoothing of the Heiken Ashi chart and enhance its effectiveness in identifying trends and reversals.
Standard Heiken Ashi candles are calculated using the following formulas:
Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
The "better formula" modifies the standard Heiken Ashi calculation by incorporating additional smoothing, which can help reduce noise and make it easier to identify trends and reversals. The modified formulas for Heiken Ashi "better" candles are as follows:
Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Better Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Better Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Better Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Better Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Smoothing Factor = 2 / (N + 1), where N is the chosen period for smoothing
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Better Heiken Ashi Open * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Better Heiken Ashi Close * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
The smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open and Close values are then used to calculate the smoothed Better Heiken Ashi High and Low values, resulting in "better" candles that provide a clearer representation of the market trend and potential reversal points.
Heiken Ashi "better" candles, as mentioned previously, provide a clearer representation of market trends and potential reversal points by reducing noise and smoothing out price data. When using these candles in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, traders can gain valuable insights into market behavior and make more informed decisions.
To effectively use Heiken Ashi "better" candles in your trading strategy, consider the following tips:
-Trend Identification: Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you identify the prevailing trend in the market. When the majority of the candles are green (or another color, depending on your chart settings) and there are no or few lower wicks, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, when the majority of the candles are red (or another color) and there are no or few upper wicks, it may signal a strong downtrend.
-Trend Reversals: Look for potential trend reversals when a change in the color of the candles occurs, especially when accompanied by longer wicks. For example, if a green candle with a long lower wick is followed by a red candle, it could indicate a bearish reversal. Similarly, a red candle with a long upper wick followed by a green candle may suggest a bullish reversal.
-Support and Resistance: You can use Heiken Ashi "better" candles to identify potential support and resistance levels. When the candles are consistently moving in one direction and then suddenly change color with longer wicks, it could indicate the presence of a support or resistance level.
-Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Using Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you manage risk by determining optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels. For instance, you can place your stop-loss below the low of the most recent green candle in an uptrend or above the high of the most recent red candle in a downtrend.
-Confirming Signals: Heiken Ashi "better" candles should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of your analysis.
In this implementation, you have the choice of AMA, KAMA, or T3 smoothing. These are as follows:
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)
The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a type of adaptive moving average used in technical analysis to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends. The KAMA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the market's volatility, making it more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calm markets. The KAMA is calculated using three different efficiency ratios that determine the appropriate smoothing factor for the current market conditions. These ratios are based on the noise level of the market, the speed at which the market is moving, and the length of the moving average. The KAMA is a popular choice among traders who prefer to use adaptive indicators to identify trends and potential reversals.
Adaptive Moving Average
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average that adjusts its sensitivity to price movements based on market conditions. It uses a ratio between the current price and the highest and lowest prices over a certain lookback period to determine its level of smoothing. The AMA can help reduce lag and increase responsiveness to changes in trend direction, making it useful for traders who want to follow trends while avoiding false signals. The AMA is calculated by multiplying a smoothing constant with the difference between the current price and the previous AMA value, then adding the result to the previous AMA value.
T3
The T3 moving average is a type of technical indicator used in financial analysis to identify trends in price movements. It is similar to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a different smoothing algorithm.
The T3 moving average is calculated using a series of exponential moving averages that are designed to filter out noise and smooth the data. The resulting smoothed data is then weighted with a non-linear function to produce a final output that is more responsive to changes in trend direction.
The T3 moving average can be customized by adjusting the length of the moving average, as well as the weighting function used to smooth the data. It is commonly used in conjunction with other technical indicators as part of a larger trading strategy.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Full GKD Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Kase Peak Oscillator
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Vortex

NoanFam IndicatorNoan Indicator: A Simple Manual for Beginners
Welcome to the Noan Indicator manual!
This guide will help you understand how to use the Noan Indicator for your trading needs, even if you have little to no knowledge of trading.
The Noan Indicator is a versatile tool that can be applied to different trading strategies, such as 123 patterns, trend breaks, or sudden large price movements.
How to Start the Indicator:
1. Determine 2% risk:
The first step is to determine the risk you're willing to take for a particular trade.
We recommend a 2% risk, meaning you should not risk more than 2% of your account balance on any single trade.
a. Enter Portfolio Size: Enter the total value of your trading portfolio. This value will be used to calculate the trade size based on the percentage risk you're willing to take.
b. Enter Leverage Multiplier: Enter the leverage multiplier you are using for your trades. This value will be used to adjust the trade size accordingly.
c. Split amount to trade (Entry-DCA): Select the desired percentage split for your initial trade entry and dollar-cost averaging (DCA) trade. You can choose between 60/40, 50/50, or 100% (no DCA).
2. Identify a trade opportunity:
Analyze the market, using technical and/or fundamental analysis, to identify potential trade opportunities. Look for patterns, trends, support and resistance levels, and other indicators that signal the right time to enter a trade. Remember that the Noan Indicator is designed to assist you in managing risk, and it is not a standalone trading strategy. Always use your own research and judgement when making trading decisions.
After conducting your research and finding a good point to enter, input the trade type (long or short) into the indicator.
3. Set entry price:
The entry price should be based on your analysis and represents the price at which you would like to enter the market.
It is essential to set a realistic entry price, taking into consideration the current market conditions and price action.
After conducting your own research and identifying a good entry point for a long or short trade, input the Entry Price into the Noan Indicator.
4. Preferences:
The Noan indicator is set default with a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) area.
You can choose to disable this feature if desired.
Also an option to choose whether you want to see the values ($) or percentages (%) for the different levels in the indicator.
5. Select a predefined Trail Stop Loss:
If a trailing stop loss option is selected in the settings, a line will be displayed on the chart, showing the level where the stop loss will be moved based on the chosen option.
Protect your investment and help manage risk during the trade.
It allows you to limit your losses while allowing your profits to run.
Move Stop Loss to Average Entry: The stop loss moves to your average entry price (considering DCA) once the market reaches a specific level.
Move Stop Loss to Entry: The stop loss moves to your initial entry price.
Move Stop Loss to TP1 after DCA: The stop loss moves to the first Take Profit level after executing the DCA.
Move Stop Loss to TP1, TP2, TP3, or LTPR: The stop loss moves to the specified Take Profit level or Last Trailing Profit Range.
6. Set alerts:
Set up alerts for when the indicator reaches specific levels or when other conditions are met.
This will help you stay informed about potential trading opportunities.
To set up alerts using the Noan Indicator v2.7.0:
a. Right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert" or click the "Alerts" tab in the left sidebar and click the "+" button.
b. In the "Condition" dropdown menu, select the "Noan Indicator v2.7.0" script.
c. Choose the alert type by selecting a condition from the available options (e.g., crossing, greater than, less than, etc.).
d. Specify the alert settings, such as the alert name, message, and frequency.
e. Click "Create" to create the alert.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
The Noan Indicator is designed to suit various trading strategies and can help confirm a setup after thorough research or upon reaching a Point of Interest (POI). By inputting a pre-examined entry price, the indicator will display different potential levels for Take Profits (TPs), Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), and Stop Loss (SL) areas. These levels are based on fixed percentages derived from data collected from thousands of trades.
If the different levels correspond well with past price levels, this can provide an extra point of confirmation for your trading decision. The TPs, DCA, and SL areas at these levels are structured according to the Noan Theory, further enhancing the effectiveness of the indicator.
In summary, the Noan Indicator is a versatile and powerful tool that can help traders of all levels make more informed decisions, regardless of their trading strategy. By following this simple manual, you can start using the Noan Indicator to improve your trading performance.
*Backtesting System ⚉ ＯＶＥＲＶＩＥＷ ⚉
One of the best Systems for Backtesting your Strategies.
Incredibly flexible, simple, fast and feature-rich system — will solve most of your queries without much effort.
Many systems for setting StopLoss, TakeProfit, Risk Management and advanced Filters.
All you need to do is plug in your indicator and start Backtesting .
I intentionally left the option to use my System on Full Power before you load your indicator into it.
The system uses the built-in simple and popular moving average crossover signal for this purpose. (EMA 50 & 200).
Also Highly Recommend that you Fully use ALL of the features of this system so that you understand how they work before you ask questions.
Also tried to leave TIPS for each feature everywhere, read Tips, activate them and see how they work.
But before you use this system, I Recommend you to read the following description in Full.
—————— How to connect your indicator in 2 steps:
Adapt your indicator by adding only 2 lines of code and then connect it to this Backtesting System.
Step 1 — Create your connector, For doing so:
• 1 — Find or create in your indicator where are the conditions printing the Long-Buy and Short-Sell signals.
• 2 — Create an additional plot as below
I'm giving an example with a Two moving averages cross.
Please replicate the same methodology for your indicator wether it's a MACD, RSI , Pivots, or whatever indicator with Clear Buy and Sell conditions.
//@version=5
indicator('Moving Average Cross', overlay = true)
MA200 = ta.𝚎𝚖𝚊(close, 200)
MA50 = ta.𝚎𝚖𝚊(close, 50)
// Generate Buy and Sell conditions
buy = ta.crossover (MA200, MA50)
sell = ta.crossunder (MA200, MA50)
plot(MA200, color=color.green)
plot(MA50 , color=color.red )
bgcolor(color = buy ? color.green : sell ? color.red : na, title='SIGNALS')
// ———————————————— SIGNAL FOR SYSTEM ————————————————
Signal = buy ? +1 : sell ? -1 : 0
plot(Signal, title='🔌Connector🔌', display = display.none)
// —————— 🔥 The Backtesting System expects the value to be exactly +1 for the 𝚋𝚞𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚑 signal, and -1 for the 𝚋𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚑 signal
Basically, I identified my Buy & Sell conditions in the code and added this at the bottom of my indicator code
Now you can connect your indicator to the Backtesting System using the Step 2
Step 2 — Connect the connector
• 1 — Add your updated indicator to a TradingView chart and Add the Backtesting System as well to the SAME chart
• 2 — Open the Backtesting System settings and in the External Source field select your 🔌Connector🔌 (which comes from your indicator)

𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 — Select your indicator. Add your indicator by following the 2 steps described above and select it in the menu. To familiarize yourself with the system until you select your indicator, you will have an in-built strategy of crossing the two moving EMA's of 50 and 200.
Long Deals — Enable/Disable Long Deals.
Short Deals — Enable/Disable Short Deals.
Wait End Deal — Enable/Disable waiting for a trade to close at Stop Loss/Take Profit. Until the trade closes on the Stop Loss or Take Profit, no new trade will open.
Reverse Deals — To force the opening of a trade in the opposite direction.
ReEntry Deal — Automatically open the same new deal after the deal is closed.
ReOpen Deal — Reopen the trade if the same signal is received. For example, if you are already in the long and a new signal is received in the long, the trade will reopen. * Does not work if Wait End Deal is enabled.
𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭:
None — Disables take profit. Useful if you only want to use dynamic stoplosses such as MA, Fast-Trailing, ATR Trail.
FIXED ％ — Fixed take profit in percent.
FIXED ＄ — Fixed Take in Money.
ATR — Fixed Take based on ATR.
R:R — Fixed Take based on the size of your stop loss. For example, if your stop is 10% and R:R=1, then the Take would be 10%. R:R=3 Take would be 30%, etc.
HH / LL — Fixed Take based on the previous maximum/minimum (extremum).
𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬:
None — Disables Stop Loss. Useful if you want to work without a stop loss. *Be careful if Wait End Deal is enabled, the trade may not close for a long time until it reaches the Take.
FIXED ％ — Fixed Stop in percent.
FIXED ＄ — Fixed Stop in Money.
TRAILING — Dynamic Trailing Stop like on the stock exchanges.
FAST TRAIL — Dynamic Fast Trailing Stop moves immediately in profit and stays in place if the price stands still or the price moves in loss.
ATR — Fixed Stop based on the ATR.
ATR TRAIL — Dynamic Trailing Stop based on the ATR.
LO / HI — A Fixed Stop based on the last Maximum/Minimum extemum. Allows you to place a stop just behind or above the low/high candle.
MA — Dynamic Stop based on selected Moving Average. * You will have 8 types of MA (EMA, SMA, HMA, etc.) to choose from, but you can easily add dozens of other MAs, which makes this type of stop incredibly flexible.
Add ％ — If true, then with the "𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 ％" parameter you can add percentages to any of the current SL. Can be especially useful when using Stop - 𝗔𝗧𝗥 or 𝗠𝗔 or 𝗟𝗢/𝗛𝗜. For example with 𝗟𝗢/𝗛𝗜 to put a stop for the last High/Low and add 0.5% additional Stoploss.
Fixed R:R — If the stop loss is Dynamic (Trailing or MA) then if R:R true can also be made Dynamic * Use it carefully, the function is experimental.

A unique method of constructing intermediate Take Profit Levels will allow you to select up to 5 intermediate Take Profit Levels and one intermediate Stop Loss.
Intermediate Take Profit Levels are perfectly calculated into 5 equal parts in the form of levels from the entry point to the final Take Profit target.
All you need to do is to choose the necessary levels for fixing and how much you want to fix at each level as a percentage. For example, TP 3 will always be exactly between the entry point and the Take Profit target. And the value of TP 3 = 50 will close 50% of the amount of the remaining size of the position.
Note: all intermediate SL/TP are closed from the remaining position amount and not from the initial position size, as TV does by default.
SL 0 Position — works in the same way as TP 1-5 but it's Stop. With this parameter you can set the position where the intermediate stop will be set.
Breakeven on TP — When activated, it allows you to put the stop loss at Breakeven after the selected TP is reached. For this function to work as it should - you need to activate an intermediate Take. For example, if TP 3 is activated and Breakeven on TP = 3, then after the price reaches this level, the Stop loss will go to Breakeven.
* This function will not work with Dynamic Stoplosses, because it simply does not make sense.
CoolDown # Bars — When activated, allows you to add a delay before a new trade is opened. A new trade after CoolDown will not be opened until # bars pass and a new signal appears.

It is important to note that I have never worked with Backtesting and the functions associated with them before.
It took me about a month of slow work to build this system.
I want to say Big Thanks:
• The PineScripters🌲 group, the guys suggested how to implement some features. Especially @allanster
• Thanks to all those people who share their developments for free on TV and not only.
• I also thank myself for not giving up and finishing the project, and not trying to monetize the system by selling it. * Although I really want the money :)
I tried hard to make it as fast and convenient as possible for everyone who will use my code.
That's why I didn't use any libraries and dozens of heavy functions, and I managed to fit in 8+-functions for the whole code.
Absolutely every block of code I tried to make full-fledged modular, that it was easy to import/edit for myself (you).
I have abused the Ternary Pine operator a little (a lot) so that the code was as compact as possible.
Nevertheless, I tried very hard to keep my code very understandable even for beginners.
At last I managed to write 500 lines of code, making it one of the fastest and most feature-rich systems out there.
I hope everyone enjoys my work.

How to: Find the best RSI for trading
It's important to remember that merely having the AI-Optimized RSI on your chart doesn't automatically provide you with the best strategy. You need to follow the AI's guidance through an iterative process to discover the optimal RSI settings and strategy.
1.Starting Your Strategy Setup
Begin by deciding your goals for each trade: your profit target and stop loss. You'll also choose how to manage your stops – whether they stay put (fixed) or move with the price (trailing), and whether you want to exit trades at a specific price (limit orders). Keep the initial settings for RSI lengths and cross ranges at their default to give the tool a broad testing field. The AI's guidance will refine these settings to pinpoint the most effective ones through a process of comprehensive testing.
The image above shows our chart prior to any optimization efforts.
Note: the settings shown above in the key settings section will be used to start our demonstration.
2. Follow AI’s suggestions
Optimization Prompt: After loading your strategy, the indicator will prompt you to change the RSI length range and RSI level range to a better performing range.
Continue changing the RSI length range and RSI level range to match the indicator's suggestions until "Best Found" is displayed!
The image above shows results after we applied the tool’s suggestions. New suggestions have appeared, and we will continue to apply them.
Continue to adjust settings as recommended by the optimizer. If no better options are found, the optimizer will suggest increasing the number of combinations. Repeat this process until the optimizer indicates that the optimal setting has been identified.
Success! With the "Best Found" notification, an optimized RSI is now active. The AI will keep refining the strategy based on ongoing performance, ensuring continuous optimization.
AI Mode
AI Mode incorporates Heuristic-Based Adaptive Learning to fine-tune trading strategies in a continuous manner. This feature consists of two main components:
Heuristic-Based Decision Making: The algorithm evaluates multiple RSI-based trading strategies using specific metrics such as Profit and Loss (PNL), Win Rate, and Most Efficient Profit. These metrics act as heuristics to assist the algorithm in identifying suitable strategies for trade execution.
Online Learning: The algorithm updates the performance evaluations of each strategy based on incoming market data. This enables the system to adapt to current market conditions.
Incorporating both heuristic-based decision-making and online learning, this feature aims to provide a framework for trading strategy optimization.
Settings
AI Mode Aggressiveness:
Description: The "AI Mode Aggressiveness" setting allows you to fine-tune the AI's trading behavior. This setting ranges from “Low” to “High”, with “High” indicating a more assertive trading approach.
Functionality: This feature filters trading strategies based on a proprietary evaluation method. A higher setting narrows down the strategies that the AI will consider, leaning towards more aggressive trading. Conversely, a lower setting allows for a more conservative approach by broadening the pool of potential strategies.
Adaptive Learning Aggressiveness:
Description: When Adaptive Learning is enabled, the "Adaptive Learning Aggressiveness" setting controls how dynamically the AI adapts to market conditions using selected performance metrics.
Functionality: This setting impacts the AI's responsiveness to shifts in strategy performance. By adjusting this setting, you can control how quickly the AI moves away from strategies that may have been historically successful but are currently underperforming, towards strategies that are showing current promise.
Optimization
Trading system optimization is immensely advantageous when executed with prudence.
Technical-oriented, mechanical trading systems work when a valid correlation is methodical to the extent that an objective, precisely-defined ruleset can consistently exploit it. If no such correlation exists, or a technical-oriented system is erroneously designed to exploit an illusory correlation (absent predictive utility), the trading system will fail.
Evaluate results practically and test parameters rigorously after discovery. Simply mining the best-performing parameters and immediately trading them is unlikely a winning strategy. Put as much effort into testing strong-performing parameters and building an accompanying system as you would any other trading strategy. Automated optimization involves curve fitting - it's the responsibility of the trader to validate a replicable sequence or correlation and the trading system that exploits it.
Kioseff Trading - AI-Optimized Supertrend
AI-Optimized Supertrend
Introducing AI-Optimized Supertrend: a streamlined solution for traders of any skill level seeking to rapidly test and optimize Supertrend. Capable of analyzing thousands of strategies, this tool cuts through the complexity to identify the most profitable, reliable, or efficient approaches.

Features
Rapid Supertrend Strategy Testing : Quickly evaluate thousands of Supertrend strategies to find the most effective ones.
AI-Assisted Optimization : Leverage AI recommendations to fine-tune strategies for superior results.
Multi-Objective Optimization : Prioritize Supertrend based on your preference for the highest win rate, maximum profit, or efficiency.
Comprehensive Analytics : The strategy script provides an array of statistics such as profit factor, PnL, win rate, trade counts, max drawdown, and an equity curve to gauge performance accurately.
Alerts Setup : Conveniently set up alerts to be notified about critical trade signals or changes in performance metrics.
Versatile Stop Strategies : Experiment with profit targets, trailing stops, and fixed stop losses.
Binary Supertrend Exploration : Test binary Supertrend strategies.
Limit Orders : Analyze the impact of limit orders on your trading strategy.
Integration with External Indicators : Enhance strategy refinement by incorporating custom or publicly available indicators from TradingView into the optimization process.
Key Settings
The image above shows explanations for a list of key settings for the optimizer.
Set the Factor Range Limits : The AI suggests optimal upper and lower limits for the Factor range, defining the sensitivity of the Supertrend to price fluctuations. A wider range tests a greater variety, while a narrower range focuses on fine-tuning.
Adjust the ATR Range : Use the AI's recommendations to establish the upper and lower bounds for the Average True Range (ATR), which influences the Supertrend's volatility threshold.
ATR Flip : This option lets you interchange the order of ATR and Factor values to quicky test different sequences, giving you the flexibility to explore various combinations and their impact on the Supertrend indicator's performance.
Strategies Evaluated : Adjust this setting to determine how many Supertrend strategies you want to assess and compare.
Enable AI Mode : Turn this feature on to allow the AI to determine and employ the optimal Supertrend strategy with the desired performance metric, such as the highest win rate or maximum profitability.
Target Metric : Adjust this to direct the AI towards optimizing for maximum profit, top win rates, or the most efficient profits.
AI Mode Aggressiveness : Set how assertively the AI pursues the chosen performance goal, such as highest profit or win rate.
Strategy Direction : Choose to focus the AI's testing and optimization on either long or short Supertrend strategies.
Stop Loss Type : Specify the stop loss approach for optimization—fixed value, a trailing stop, or Supertrend direction changes.
Limit Order : Decide if you want to execute trades using limit orders for setting your profit targets, stop losses, or apply them to both.
Profit Target : Define your desired profit level when using either a fixed stop loss or a trailing stop.
Stop Loss : Define your desired stop loss when using either a fixed stop loss or a trailing stop.
How to: Find the best Supertrend for trading
It's important to remember that merely having the AI-Optimized Supertrend on your chart doesn't automatically provide you with the best strategy. You need to follow the AI's guidance through an iterative process to discover the optimal Supertrend settings and strategy.
Optimizing Supertrend involves adjusting two key parameters: the Factor and the Average True Range (ATR). These parameters significantly influence the Supertrend indicator's sensitivity and responsiveness to price movements.
Factor : This parameter multiplies the ATR to determine the distance of the Supertrend line from the price. Higher values will create a wider band, potentially leading to fewer trade signals, while lower values create a narrower band, which may result in more signals but also more noise.
ATR (Average True Range) : ATR measures market volatility. By using the ATR, the Supertrend adapts to changing market volatility; a higher ATR value means a more volatile market, so the Supertrend adjusts accordingly.
During the optimization process, these parameters are systematically varied to determine the combination that yields the best performance based on predefined criteria such as profitability, win rate, or risk management efficiency. The optimization aims to find the optimal Factor and ATR settings.
1.Starting Your Strategy Setup
Begin by deciding your goals for each trade: your profit target and stop loss, or if all trades exit when Supertrend changes direction. You'll also choose how to manage your stops – whether they stay put (fixed) or move with the price (trailing), and whether you want to exit trades at a specific price (limit orders). Keep the initial settings for Supertrend Factor Range and Supertrend ATR Range at their default to give the tool a broad testing field. The AI's guidance will refine these settings to pinpoint the most effective ones through a process of comprehensive testing.
Demonstration Start: We'll begin with the settings outlined in the key settings section, using Supertrend's direction change to the downside as our exit signal for all trades.
2. Continue applying the AI’s suggestions
Keep updating your optimization settings based on the AI's recommendations. Proceed with this iterative optimization until the "Best Found" message is displayed, signaling that the most effective strategy has been identified.
While following the AI's suggestions, we've been prompted with a new suggestion: increase the
number of strategies evaluated. Keep following the AI's new suggestions to evaluate more strategies. Do this until the "Best Found" message shows up.
Success! We continued to follow the AI’s suggestions until “Best Found” was indicated!

Heuristic-Based Decision Making: The algorithm evaluates multiple Supertrend-based trading strategies using metrics such as Profit and Loss (PNL), Win Rate, and Most Efficient Profit. These metrics act as heuristics to assist the algorithm in identifying suitable strategies for trade execution.
Online Learning: The algorithm updates the performance evaluations of each strategy based on incoming market data. This enables the system to adapt to current market conditions.
Incorporating both heuristic-based decision-making and online learning, this feature aims to provide a framework for trading strategy optimization.
AI Mode Settings
AI Mode Aggressiveness:
Description: The "AI Mode Aggressiveness" setting allows you to fine-tune the AI's trading behavior. This setting ranges from “Low” to “High”, with “High” indicating a more assertive trading approach.
Functionality: This feature filters trading strategies based on a proprietary evaluation method. A higher setting narrows down the strategies that the AI will consider, leaning towards more aggressive trading. Conversely, a lower setting allows for a more conservative approach by broadening the pool of potential strategies.
Optimization
Trading system optimization is immensely advantageous when executed with prudence.
Technical-oriented, mechanical trading systems work when a valid correlation is methodical to the extent that an objective, precisely-defined ruleset can consistently exploit it. If no such correlation exists, or a technical-oriented system is erroneously designed to exploit an illusory correlation (absent predictive utility), the trading system will fail.
Evaluate results practically and test parameters rigorously after discovery. Simply mining the best-performing parameters and immediately trading them is unlikely a winning strategy. Put as much effort into testing strong-performing parameters and building an accompanying system as you would any other trading strategy. Automated optimization involves curve fitting - it's the responsibility of the trader to validate a replicable sequence or correlation and the trading system that exploits it.
Ichi-Price WaveWelcome to the Ichi-Price Wave. This indicator is designed for day trading options contracts for any ticker, using a number of indicators — Ichimoku Cloud, Volume-Weighted Average Price, Stochastic Relative Strength Index, Exponential Moving Average (13/48) — and calculating how they interact with each other to provide entry and exit signals for both Calls and Puts on normal days. ****Read the Important Information section before opening any positions based on this indicator. (Also *NFA)
The general concept is that you, the trader, are a Surfer 🏄🏾 who rides the best waves in deep water until it gets dangerous.
Emoji storyline: The 🏄🏾 emoji (Call or Put, depending on the color of its Green or Red label, respectively) indicates an upcoming *potential* entry that, for a number of reasons, may be disregarded. (See: Important Information section below). And just as there are no certainties in the stock market itself, the tiered exit signals are ranked by low 🐬, medium 🦈 and high risk 🦑 tolerance. (In other words, it's relatively safe to surf with dolphins around, but there's the off chance they even strike trainers and become aggressive. It's more dangerous to swim with sharks. And on the unlikely, rare occasion you see a literal, giant, mythical, ship destroying Kraken 😬 ... you definitely need to get out of the water.
Surfing for as long as possible reaps the greatest rewards — but risk/reward are to be considered for entries and exits. Exiting every time you see a 🐬 (E1) should secure profits nearly 100% of the time, but they'll be very minimal. Whereas surfing til you reach a Kraken 🦑 (which will not even appear on most Price Wave cycles) would reap the most rewards. (NFA: I recommend considering sharks 🦈 as an exit point for the majority of positions, and perhaps only keeping a few runners open with the hopes of finding that shiny Kraken. (On the non-Emoji chart, the low, medium and high risk exits are named E1, E2 and E3, respectively. Got to the indicator's Settings > Inputs > then toggle EMOJIs ON/OFF)
Boring stuff: The entry 🏄🏾 signals are triggered by multiple conditions that must be all true. For Call entries, one of the necessary conditions is that the RSI's K must be maximum 10 (this can be changed in default). This, along with another condition where current price must be below the VWAP Lower Bound 1, serves as a great reference point showing the stock price is currently uncomfortable where it is and may likely soon snap back closer to the VWAP, perhaps even to the other side due to a pendulum effect.
Important information
Relying on those two factors for setting entry and exit points are great for normal days. (Normal, as in the ticker price bounces within a channel (e.g., ≤3% + or -) that's trending slightly bullish or bearish depending on greater market trend). But there are abnormal days where news catalysts (e.g., CPI data, CEO scandals, unexpected company data release, etc.) trigger FOMO and FUD, ultimately rendering the logic behind most indicators non applicable (e.g., RSI's "buy when oversold"). On the chart, this indicator accounts for this with two measures:
One, you should only "Surf" in the water. That is, there are two bands — Shallow and Deep Water. Any "Surf" emojis where price action is outside of the water should be ignored**. Two, there are additional EMOJIs that show you "Bearish trend" ⛈ and "Bullish trend ☀️. (Story time again: You obviously shouldn't surf in thunder and lightning. But also, surfing in the blistering sun with no clouds in the sky during a heatwave is also dangerous to your health.)
You can use these two measures to disregard the "surfers" suggesting you join them in opening a position in the suggested direction. And surfers followed by Cloud EMOJIs — 🌤️ (Put) or 🌧️ (Call) — can be used as "perfect entry" points. (The clouds represent weather being less extreme and better for surfing).
(**While these should mostly be ignored, these have not been muted because there is the possibility of a very strong turn around if you happen to catch the last one (which is not ideal for risk-averse traders). Use other indicators, such as the MACD and trend lines, to find potential bottoms (or tops) as price action plunges (or soars) due to abnormal news circumstances.)
Entry and exit buffers
At the beginning of each day, most indicators usually are not immediately calibrated correctly due to premarket trading and open market (at least to the degree that the day's sentiment can be best read from them due to the amount of volatility). What I recommend when using this indicator is disregarding signals during the first 15 minutes (or possibly 30 minutes) of market open to get the best results. And also, considering this indicator is meant for day trading (i.e., not holding positions overnight), disregarding ENTRY signals for the last 45 minutes of the trading day could give yourself enough buffer on the back end for exiting comfortably.
RSI entry
Preparing for an entry when you see a surfer is recommended, but actually opening the position when you see a 🌤️ (Put) or 🌧️ (Call) would yield best results and avoid misfires — particularly when those two cloud EMOJIs are signaled when the RSI is overbought and K is at least 95 (Puts), or oversold and K at maximum 5 (Calls). (Story time logic: The cloud eclipsing the Sun means it's cooling off and better for surfing. And the rain cloud no longer having lightning means the "bearish" storm is possibly soon over).
Delta and the Greeks
You should experiment yourself, but keep in mind that this is for capitalizing off of a day's minor price swings (≤3% + or -). Entering a same day expiry contract that's deep OTM is not going to work with this indicator (even if you enter at a surfer 🏄🏾 and exit at a Kraken 🦑) because the price wave from one end to the other won't be enough to compensate for the other Greeks working against you. Use another indicator (or insider knowledge ... Just kidding, that's illegal, don't do that) if you want to buy those kind of contracts.
I personally purchase contracts w/ minimum 80% Implied Volatility and somewhere between 20-40 Delta. Having a nice range for yourself with these factors, depending also on the size of your own portfolio and the risk tolerance you have, will determine how much you're able to capitalize off successful entry and exits.
Tips
• I set stop losses 5-10% depending on the ticker. (e.g., $TSLA's volatility may require SL closer to 10% whereas using it on $SPY, a 5% could suffice). This is in addition to ignoring entry signals that don't meet the aforementioned two requirements (i.e., it's risky to Surf in shallow water, and you shouldn't try to Surf at all outside of the water, ref. Band 2 and outside of Band 2). Remember, this is the stock market — not the casino. We rely on strategy and risk management — not hope.
• It's recommended you use time intervals ≤ 5 min. (I use 1 minute and 5 min)
• Liquidity . Using these signals on a ticker with low liquidity (particularly if you enter on the Ask side), can reduce your profits to 0% or even to a loss even if you have a perfect entry and exit. I always point to SPY as the optimal bid-ask spread, but keep that in mind.
What's with the name "Ichi-Price Wave"?
The "Ichi" gives credit to Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda, whose indicator I used in conjunction with the 13/48 Exponential Moving Averages to create some of the exit signal conditions (e.g., E2🦈). That E2 condition is: Signal the first time the price intersects the Ichimoku conversion line *after* it has entered the VWAP UB/LB channel on one end and has exited on the opposite end). And it's named "Price Wave" because it's a literal price wave, which is where the fun surf narrative comes in. Also, "Price" doubles as me naming it after myself (in a less pretentious way). It's actually convenient that my last name is literally Price. Almost as if I was born for this. Nonetheless, this indicator is far more accurate in spotting directional changes than the free 13/48 cross, which oddly enough, influencers are charging for access. It's free, but the code is protected, for now at least.
Try it out on any ticker and look at how accurately it catches the tops and bottoms (keeping in mind to ignore misfires according to the two measures and also setting ~5-10% stop losses). And of course, use this in conjunction with other indicators. Ignoring all of my other emojis and simply setting surfer 🏄🏾 alerts could serve as additional confirmations for your personal strategy. Or you could simply enter at a surfer 🏄🏾 and exit when it reaches VWAP (or at least increase your Stop Loss to sell at break even if it doesn't reach). That strategy is the most conservative and would secure consistent gains). AND AGAIN, use your stop losses. Either it makes a move or it doesn't. Simply re-enter at a better point if necessary.
ONWAY Indicator PV6The ONWAY indicator is a comprehensive and earnestly designed tool aimed to increase confidence in a traders market bias. ONWAY analyzes market trends, market strength, and price action near key pivot levels to form a bias on future price action. Of course, it is fundamentally impossible to predict the future, but we all try it now don't we. Gain an edge in the markets and add ONWAY to your tool box.
ONWAY Functionality
Confirmation Signals: ONWAY provides real-time, non-repaint BUY and SELL signals upon the active timeframes candle close.
Targets and Stops: ONWAY will, upon signal confirmation, set a target and stop loss.
Position Management: ONWAY will monitor its current position, if one exists, and attempt to tighten the stop loss if possible.
ONWAY Details
Symbols and Timeframes: ONWAY is restricted to approved symbols and timeframes indicated by the 🟢 icon next to "Optimized:" and "ONWAY Timeframe:" on the dashboard. If an unapproved combination of symbol and timeframe is in use, ONWAY will be disabled (no signals will be visible). See author's instructions for the current ONWAY watchlist or to submit a symbol/timeframe request.
Position Details: Apart from the on chart signals and position plot, the ONWAY dashboard will indicate the current position, entry price, target price, and stop price.
Stop Loss: ONWAY has a unique stop loss/exit strategy that has proved, based on our calculations, to be advantageous. If price reaches or exceeds the stop loss, ONWAY will not close the position unless there is a candle close on the active timeframe exceeding the stop level. This is known as a soft stop loss and identified on the dashboard as "(Soft)" next to the stop price. Additionally, the stop loss will change throughout the position, following the low, for a long position or high, for a short position, within a given period, but the soft stop loss will not exceed beyond a 1:1 risk to reward ratio (the risk will always be equal to or less than the potential reward). It is importance to be aware that the soft stop is utilized at this 1:1 threshold as well. On the plus side, the changing stop loss will impose a risk free position if it finds itself between the entry price and target price. At this stage the soft stop is no longer utilized, the stop loss can only approach the target price, and profit is uhhh.....certain (I don't think the mods will like that word 😉). If the soft stop is no longer in use, the dashboard will indicate this with "(Hard)" next to the stop price.
Position Sizing: The position sizing used for the backtested results is displayed on the dashboard next to "Strategy Lot Size:". This position size is provided solely as a reference for the backtest results. The choice of a position size is left to the users discretion.
Backtest Results: With any strategy, backtesting is an excellent way to judge performance and viability, but it is important to recognize that past performance does not confirm repeatability in future market conditions.
Updates: ONWAY updates its acceptable symbols frequently to account for everchanging market conditions. This includes adding new symbols, rejecting previously compatible symbols, and modifying the optimal window for current symbols.
Acceptability Criteria: The criteria for a symbol to be deemed acceptable requires that its backtested results deliver a win rate greater than 70%, profit factor greater than 1.2, and its equity chart appear favorable. These metrics are available to users by clicking on "Strategy Tester" located on the bottom panel of the chart view.
Accessibility: To gain access to ONWAY, see the author's instructions below.
Use of this script implies that you acknowledge that past performance does not necessarily indicate future results and that guarantees are not possible in this trading realm.
[Joy] Aladdin (1.0.0 Alpha)Explanation of the markers in the indicator
* Bearish / Sell sign: On the candle's close, I open a short position
* Bullish sign: On the candle's close, I open a long position
* Red circle: On the candle's close, I take at least 50% unrealized profit into a realized profit of any running long leverage position. I might even convert some portion of the position into stable coins.

FAQ
Q: Does it use some EMA /MA/etc.? Does it use any indicator with tweaked settings?
Answer: No.
Q: What does it mostly depend on?
Answer: Volume and gradual flow of non-interrupted data. The logic depends purely on volume, price bars and the wicks.
Q: Does it work with all coins, stocks, futures, instruments?
Answer: I prefer to use the exchange with the best possible data. Then backtest out to find the best possible timeframe, stop loss and target all derived from this script data.
Q: Can you make it free or make it open source?
Answer: There is no free lunch in this world. I will never reveal or share the source code!
Q: Do you provide ongoing support for the indicator?
Answer: Yes, as long as I can, I will continue updating the indicator
Q: Are the bullish /buy & the bearish /sell markers automatic?
Answer: I have no control over the markers. It is driven purely by logic from the script.
Q: Is this financial advice?
Answer: This is not financial advice. I do not guarantee any profit or loss. I am not responsible for any of your losses or profits. My indicators do not assure profit or loss. It also does not auto-open or auto-close a trade.
Note:
The Aladdin has been derived from the Super Algorithm Indicator. I have depreciated the Super Algorithm Indicator I have automatically migrated every user to Aladdin, who had Super Algorithm Indicator. One should not use the SA indicator. One should start using this indicator instead.
Version 1
A derived version of Super Algorithm Indicator with optimized code (uses arrays, removes few warnings in the code, makes code more reusable) so that I can add further features in the future. A few new coding features in the pine script encouraged me to go for this version. Since the codebase has been revamped, it made sense for me to make it a new indicator. have also changed a small parameter that is configurable at the moment. Previously it was valued at 26. Now I am putting value at 21.
BNBUSD 1 Minute Chart / 1 Hour BBand Day Trading 3Commas*** As always, this is provided for educational purposes only and I am not an investment advisor; I'm just a guy who likes to come up with novel ideas and share them with other traders so they can learn. ***
This strategy is a fun one. I took parts of 'Bollinger Awesome Alert R1 by JustUncleL' () and modified it to have enhanced day trading functionality. This version does not show source and that is by design - I want the alerts to be visible to the public and if you want to get set up with a version that integrates with 3commas, drop me a message - there's a lot more that goes into setting up automated 3commas trading but this script was written specifically with 3commas in mind.
It's possible this is one of the more interesting strategy indicators I've made. The setup I used for this is as such and you will need to set it up the same way:
One minute chart for the BNB/USD(T) pair on Binance.us (other exchanges will likely work, other coin pairs or other time frames will likely not)
This script watches the one minute chart and when price golden crosses the lower Bollinger band, a buy order is placed.
There are two sell conditions; one I set up to take profit and one I designed as a kind of stop loss. I went with a flat 7.5% for the take profit as this showed the best results in the backtester. I had planned for it to be closer to 3% but for this strategy to work it needs to be higher. According to the backtest it offers around double the return of buying and holding BNB over the sample timeframe.
The 'stop loss' condition is where the fun lies. I transposed Bollinger bands from a one hour BNBUSD Binance.us chart on top of the 1 minute chart and those are the blue lines you see. The stop loss condition happens when the current price death crosses the bottom one hour Bollinger band. Ironically, often this doesn't result in any losses as you will see in the chart and instead results in a small win. This definitely was not my intention when I created it but it's a lot better than the earlier version where I set up a variable percentage-based stop loss. Even with me optimizing the regular stop loss for this coin pair, my 1 hour bband method nets an extra 2% profit over the same two week time period, even with Binance fees factored in!
Have fun and like I said, hmu via message if you want access to the customizable indicator for 3commas!
(IK) Base Break BuyThis strategy first calculates areas of support (bases), and then enters trades if that support is broken. The idea is to profit off of retracement. Dollar-cost-averaging safety orders are key here. This strategy takes into account a .1% commission, and tests are done with an initial capital of 100.00 USD. This only goes long.
The strategy is highly customizable. I've set the default values to suit ETH/USD 15m. If you're trading this on another ticker or timeframe, make sure to play around with the settings. There is an explanation of each input in the script comments. I found this to be profitable across most 'common sense' values for settings, but tweaking led to some pretty promising results. I leaned more towards high risk/high trade volume.
Always remember though: historical performance is no guarantee of future behavior . Keep settings within your personal risk tolerance, even if it promises better profit. Anyone can write a 100% profitable script if they assume price always eventually goes up.
Check the script comments for more details, but, briefly, you can customize:
-How many bases to keep track of at once
-How those bases are calculated
-What defines a 'base break'
-Order amounts
-Safety order count
-Stop loss
Here's the basic algorithm:
-Identify support.
--Have previous candles found bottoms in the same area of the current candle bottom?
--Is this support unique enough from other areas of support?
-Determine if support is broken.
--Has the price crossed under support quickly and with certainty?
-Enter trade with a percentage of initial capital.
-Execute safety orders if price continues to drop.
-Exit trade at profit target or stop loss.
Take profit is dynamic and calculated on order entry. The bigger the 'break', the higher your take profit percentage. This target percentage is based on average position size, so as safety orders are filled, and average position size comes down, the target profit becomes easier to reach.
Stop loss can be calculated one of two ways, either a static level based on initial entry, or a dynamic level based on average position size. If you use the latter (default), be aware, your real losses will be greater than your stated stop loss percentage . For example:
-stop loss = 15%, capital = 100.00, safety order threshold = 10%
-you buy $50 worth of shares at $1 - price average is $1
-you safety $25 worth of shares at $0.9 - price average is $0.966
-you safety $25 worth of shares at $0.8. - price average is $0.925
-you get stopped out at 0.925 * (1-.15) = $0.78625, and you're left with $78.62.
This is a realized loss of ~21.4% with a stop loss set to 15%. The larger your safety order threshold, the larger your real loss in comparison to your stop loss percentage, and vice versa.
Indicator plots show the calculated bases in white. The closest base below price is yellow. If that base is broken, it turns purple. Once a trade is entered, profit target is shown in silver and stop loss in red.
TFi Pivot Reversal V3The Pivot Reversal Study uses pivot points to create a support and resistance level; based on this levels the script creates virtual stop-market orders to catch the trend if the price is crossing the pivot lines.
A "Pyramiding" input allows to configure up to 3 entries; the script enters an additional position if the price falls by a configurable percentage amount (long), the reverse to short orders.
A configurable profit-target and stop-loss is being used to exit an open position.
An optional Moving Average filter can be used to enable only long or short positions.
The script renders a status box at the last bar, which shows the current position status and result of the built-in trading simulation results.
It shows the following statistic values:
current position PnL - also background turns green if position is in profit and red if in loss
the percentage distance to the profit-target and stop-loss level
the overall number of wins and losses and the win/loss ratio
the overall profit and loss amount (assuming a quantity of 1)
the net-profit and profit-ratio
For the correct simulation of entry/exit prices, the script contains inputs for a percentage entry and exit slippage.
The study also creates configurable alerts, which follow the exact position of the entry/exit markers. The default alert messages contain trading instruction to execute orders via Alertatron; but the message content can be replaced if configuring the alert in the Tradingview environment.
The script was mainly backtested with crypto-coins, e.g. XBTUSD at 15min timeframe. But the script also works with any other type of security and timeframe.

Backtest PREMIUM Suite+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. 💎 SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS 💎
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on our website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. 🔎 Backtest PREMIUM Suite+ (Plug & Play) 🔎
2.1 Forewords
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM 12 months users. YES! I said indicator, and not strategy or backtest for an excellent reason.
We wanted to make it as generic as possible and allow anyone to connect any indicator of his/her choice in a few clicks only.
This is NOT possible (in TradingView) with a strategy/backtest, but only with an indicator - that's why we worked on recoding the whole backtest logic as an indicator.
The PRO edition does not handle any pyramiding/re-entry - as such enters only once per trend by design. This feature is reserved for our PREMIUM users.
2.2 Concept
This is an indicator that I saw on TradingView and was introduced by the @Pinecoders account on TradingView.
I inspired myself from his Backtest Engine to offer a version more adapted to my vision - The benefits of connecting yourself any indicator to our Backtest engine are amazing and huge.
The concept can't be more simple. Imagine using any indicator and connecting to a backtest system in a single click.
You may connect your Algorithm Builder also to this complete backtesting system in a single click.
What's better between paying thousands for each backtest, or connecting yourself your indicators to your backtest with a click?
That was a rhetoric question, but you can still share your answer with me if you want to :)
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Issue #1 💲 A BACKTEST SYSTEM IS COSTLY 💲
Hiring a developer to code a custom indicator is costly. For a custom backtest it's even more expensive as those scripts are very often way more complicated.
Now imagine, that now that you see your idea live on a chart, you'll realize you'll have to finance another backtest system, as the one you have is not compatible with your new idea.
Solution #1 💲💲 YOU COULD BE SAVING SOME MONEY 💲💲
just because it won't be needed to hire someone else for each of your trading idea.
We will never guarantee your success on the market, but THIS I stand by it any day any hour.
You can connect any indicator or your choice by updating your indicator slightly and connecting it to our Backtest engine. We send the tutorial for doing it to all our customers.
Issue #2 🕔 IT'S TIME-CONSUMING 🕔
Even if someone is doing all the coding for you, it might require days/weeks depending on your overall trading strategy/idea.
Without even counting the time for you to test/validate the work done and all the back-and-forth to fix all the issues.
Solution #2 SAVING TIME MIGHT EQUATES TO SAVING MONEY : 🕔 = 💲💲💲
I wish it could be as easy as going from weeks of coding to "1 single click" :)
I did the heavy-lifting, but you'll have to make the last effort the cross the finishing line. I made it easy for you to play with it and find a configuration that makes sense to YOU and for your strategy/asset/timeframe
Issue #3 ❌ IT'S COMPLICATED ❌
Someone did a backtest code for you, but... you can't update it because you either :
- don't know anything in programming
- ... and don't have time to learn (most of us have a job/family/...life)
- The system you have is way too specific for one of your previous idea, but can't be updated easily for your next trading ideas. I see a lot of traders nodding right now thinking "that's soooooo true !!!!"
Solution #3 🎉 WE MADE IT EASY AND FUN 🎉
Our goal is to externalize the technical stuff that you don't want to take care of - so that you can finally focus on your trading and optimizing your ideas. #bold #statement
In case you're wondering, no we're not reading your mind :), but we're also traders who didn't know how to code before and had to hire external programmers to do the heavy work for us.
You can be sure that most of the frustrations (trading, technical, ...) you have/had, we had them also and that's why we created this backtest indicator.
III. 🔌&🕹️
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Backtest PREMIUM Suite+ (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ to your Backtest PREMIUM Suite+
I mentioned an Algorithm Builder but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it the backtest calculations.
This is not magic, neither is sorcery, but certainly is way beyond the most awesome thing I've ever developed on TradingView (even across all brokers I know). #bolder #statement
TradingView is the best trading platform by far and I'm very grateful to offer my indicators on their website.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. 📊 Make it nice! 📊
Now we're getting right into the fun stuff.
Let's explore briefly each display option (symbolized by an 👁️🗨️ in the Backtest UI) :
- Color Traded Background : Color the chart background is green when in a BUY trade, in red when in a SELL trade. If the Backtest is not in a trade, then the background won't be colored.
- Show Entry/Exit Markers : Displays the entries (Enter Long/Enter Short), and exits (Exit Long/Exit Short) labels.
- Show Entry Level : Displays a blue level line to easily identify the entry price of a trade.
- Show Take Profit Level : Display a purple line to visualize where the Take Profit level is (we'll explain below how to set it up).
- Show In-Trade Stops : Display the stop-loss
V. Backtesting filters
A backtest should have some filters helping the traders testing a few hypotheses. Well.... we included a ton of them.
Once again, thank you @Pinecoders for the help and support you gave me
5.1 ↑ Trade Direction ↓
- Both: The backtest takes the BUY, and SELL trades.
- Longs only/Short only: To be used if the trader wants to take the trades in a unique direction only
5.2 ▲🔷Pyramiding🔷▼
The Backtest PRO allows 1 entry per identified trend
Pyramiding has many names such as Re-entry, secondary trend, Additional entry, ...
Basically, it refers to entering multiple times in the same trend.
Maximum Number of Pyramiding Entries: Literally the max number of re-entries in the same trend.
For instance, if set to 2, then depending on the signals, you'll get at most 2 re-entries in the same trade direction.
- Position Size Multiple of Original Entry Position: Option to add X multiples of the original position size for the re-entries.
Example: Position size multiple = 2, and First entry size is $100. Then, the re-entries position sizes will be ($100 X 2 = $200).
5.3 ▄ █ Position sizing █ ▄
- 1. % of Equity: If selected, the position size used is the input to the right of 1. % of Equity.
Example: The trader starts with a capital of 100K. After a winning trade, your total capital is $103K - for the next trade the position size will be 3% of $103K
- 2. % of Capital: If selected, the position size used is the input to the right of 2. % of Capital.
In other words, the position size will always be the same position size as calculated on the initial capital.
Example: The trader starts with a capital of 100K. After a winning trade, your total capital is $103K - for the next trade the position size will be 5% of $100K. (As 100K is the initial capital used in our dummy example)
5.4⛔ Entry Stops and In-Trade Stops ⛔
We didn't reinvent the wheel here. Any good backtest should offer an entry stop-loss and an in-trade stop-loss.
Giving only here also an example among all the use cases. For instance, the trader sets a stop-loss 2% at the time of entry on your trade, but once the trade moves in the desired direction, the trader might want a trailing stop-loss using a 4% input.
Example: A trader goes LONG on only 1 "ABC" stock evaluated $10 per share.
1) The entry-stop loss will be 2% away so set at $8
2) A candle
3) The trailing stop will activate, and move the stop-loss from the entry stop-loss level (=$8) to $8.32 (=4% move up from $8) - and so on, and so forth for each time the price moves 4% up
The entry and in-trade stop losses can absolutely be identicals. There is no universal rule, and as always you know the drill - all depends on your backtest, and trading strategy as a whole.
5.5 ❌ Hard Exits ❌
⚠️The Backtest PRO Suite offers the hard exit on MACD only.
Our Backtest PREMIUM Suite offers 2 more indicators to invalidate your trades on :
1. MACD
2. Trend Direction
3. RSI divergence (Regular, and Hidden)
The hard exit (or invalidation) is a fundamental part of my trading method.
I explained numerous times on TradingView, our website, and social media channels why I "love" this concept so much, and how it saved my trading account numerous times from getting savagely wrecked by the market.
5.6 💲💲 Take Profit 💲💲
We only included 1 level of Take Profit so far. We'll work on adding at least one more soon.
You can set your Take Profit level based on either a:
1- Fixed value
2 - Percentage value
5.7 📆 Date Range Filtering 📆
If enabled, the backtest only uses the data between the starting and the ending dates of the defined range.
5.8 ⏱️ Hourly Range Filtering ⏱️
Please note that the hours filtering is based on the broker time - not on your chart time.
In other words, if your chart is UTC+1, but you're trading an asset from a US EAST COAST broker, then the timezone used is the UTC-4 timezone.
You'll must be wary of this when filtering and probably do a quick (but simple) calculation before setting up this option.
The easiest would be to set your chart timezone on the broker local timezone (and no math is needed).
Let's add a quick note that the hourly filter is also included in our Algorithm Builders PRO/PREMIUM 12 months. #shameless #self #advertising
5.9 ❗❗ Fees and Slippage ❗❗
Too often completely ignored by many traders, the fees can eat gains out quickly/deepen one's capital faster than expected.
⚠️The fees vary between brokers, and asset traded - it could be recommended to check on your broker page what are the fees for the asset on your chart, and insert that percentage number.
Another cost ignored, even more, is the Slippage.
i.e. think about a Stop-Loss being hit, and we're so confused because we see on the chart that NEVER the price came even close to your SL level, but... it got hit anyway.
Yes! we know how frustrating it is, but that's the game we're playing, and trading should never be about blaming the game, but only blaming the players/traders/ourselves.
Blaming the game constantly is likely to not end with good performance results, but accounting for this "risk", and being able to quantify it is an incredible hedge. #bold #statement #level #10000
5.10 🔔 Alerts 🔔
By design, the alerts aren't available for strategy scripts. But this script is an... indicator so why should we not enjoy all the cards in our hands the fullest.
We enabled the alerts on the:
1. Main BUY/SELL Entry
2. Pyramiding BUY/SELL Entries
3. Exit Signals such as stop-loss, take-profit, hard-exits
You're welcome :)
VI. 📝 Where are the backtest results? 📝
Answer: in the Data Window section of your TradingView
Now the cherry on the cake if we might say so. A backtest is cool, but visualizing results is actually the end goal here.
Our PREMIUM users benefit from way more analytics than the PRO users.
More info available on our website.
The Data Window is dynamic - it means whenever you'll mouseover at a give time on your chart, the data on that panel automatically updates.
Let's assume you're backtesting your idea between Sept 1st, 2019, and Oct 1st, 2019.
If your mouse cursor is located (or hovered) at a candle on Sept 14th, 2019 (data chosen randomly for this example), then the data displayed only includes the results between Sept 1st, and Sept 14th.
More info available on our website with a nice tutorial video. Data window metrics and filters explained on our website
Here's what the data window looks like: imgur.com
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators.
You only will judge and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on your website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play)
2.1 Forewords
This indicator is available only to our PRO 12 months users. YES! I said indicator, and not strategy or backtest for an excellent reason.
We wanted to make it as generic as possible and allow anyone to connect any indicator of his/her choice in a few clicks only.
This is NOT possible (in TradingView) with a strategy/backtest, but only with an indicator - that's why we worked on recoding the whole backtest logic as an indicator.
The PRO edition does not handle any pyramiding/re-entry - as such enters only once per trend by design. This feature is reserved for our PREMIUM users.
2.2 🔎 Concept 🔎
This is an indicator that I saw on TradingView and was introduced by the @Pinecoders account on TradingView.
I inspired myself from his Backtest Engine to offer a version more adapted to my vision - The benefits of connecting yourself any indicator to our Backtest engine are amazing and huge.
The concept can't be more simple. Imagine using any indicator and connecting to a backtest system in a single click.
You may connect your Algorithm Builder also to this complete backtesting system in a single click.
What's better between paying thousands for a backtest, or connecting yourself your indicator to your backtest with a click?
That was a rhetoric question, but you can still share your answer with me if you want to :)
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Issue #1 💲 A BACKTEST SYSTEM IS COSTLY 💲
Hiring a developer to code a custom indicator is costly. For a custom backtest it's even more expensive as those scripts are very often way more complicated.
Now imagine, that now that you see your idea live on a chart, you'll realize you'll have to finance another backtest system, as the one you have is not compatible with your new idea.
Solution #1 💲💲 YOU COULD BE SAVING SOME MONEY 💲💲
just because it won't be needed to hire someone else for each of your trading idea.
We will never guarantee your success on the market, but THIS I stand by it any day any hour.
You can connect any indicator or your choice by updating your indicator slightly and connecting it to our Backtest engine. We send the tutorial for doing it to all our customers.
Issue #2 🕔 IT'S TIME-CONSUMING 🕔
Even if someone is doing all the coding for you, it might require days/weeks depending on your overall trading strategy/idea.
Without even counting the time for you to test/validate the work done and all the back-and-forth to fix all the issues.
Solution #2 SAVING TIME MIGHT EQUATES TO SAVING MONEY : 🕔 = 💲💲💲
I wish it could be as easy as going from weeks of coding to "1 single click" :)
I did the heavy-lifting, but you'll have to make the last effort the cross the finishing line. I made it easy for you to play with it and find a configuration that makes sense to YOU and for your strategy/asset/timeframe
Issue #3 ❌ IT'S COMPLICATED ❌
Someone did a backtest code for you, but... you can't update it because you either :
- don't know anything in programming
- ... and don't have time to learn (most of us have a job/family/...life)
- The system you have is way too specific for one of your previous idea, but can't be updated easily for your next trading ideas. I see a lot of traders nodding right now thinking "that's soooooo true !!!!"
Solution #3 🎉 WE MADE IT EASY AND FUN 🎉
Our goal is to externalize the technical stuff that you don't want to take care of - so that you can finally focus on your trading and optimizing your ideas. #bold #statement
In case you're wondering, no we're not reading your mind :), but we're also traders who didn't know how to code before and had to hire external programmers to do the heavy work for us.
You can be sure that most of the frustrations (trading, technical, ...) you have/had, we had them also and that's why we created this backtest indicator.
III. 🔌&🕹️
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ to your Backtest PRO Suite+
I mentioned an Algorithm Builder but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it the backtest calculations.
This is not magic, neither is sorcery, but certainly is way beyond the most awesome thing I've ever developed on TradingView (even across all brokers I know). #bolder #statement
TradingView is the best trading platform by far and I'm very grateful to offer my indicators on their website.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. 📊 Make it nice! 📊
Now we're getting right into the fun stuff.
Let's explore briefly each display option (symbolized by a 👁️🗨️ in the Backtest UI) :

- Show Entry Level :Displays a blue level line to easily identify the entry price of a trade.

The entry and in-trade stop losses can absolutely be identicals. There is no universal rule, and as always you know the drill - all depends on your backtest, and indicator configurations as a whole.
Last, but not the least, selecting an Entry stop-loss is mandatory, but the in-trade stop-loss is not. Up to you to decide if the in-trade SL is needed for your Backtest strategy.
5.3 ❌ Hard Exits ❌
We included the MACD hard exit indicator in the backtest - as we did also for the Algorithm Builders.
The hard exit (or invalidation) is a fundamental part of my trading method.
I explained numerous times on TradingView, our website, and social media channels why I "love" this concept so much, and how it saved my trading account numerous times from getting savagely wrecked by the market.
