Strategy / Connectable [Azullian]The connectable strategy serves as a foundational component in our indicator system on TradingView, designed for intuitive testing, visualization, and construction of trading strategies. In concert with the connectable signal filter , it forms a cohesive unit that allows for efficient signal processing and strategy implementation. This integration enables the strategy to receive and act on weighted signals from various connectable indicators, making it a versatile tool for both novice and experienced traders.
Let's review the separate parts of this indicator.
█ STRATEGY INPUTS
We've provided an input to connect a signal filter or indicators or chains (→) which is set to 'Close' by default.
An input has several controls:
• Input: Connect indicators or signal filter here, choose indicators with a compatible : Signal connector.
• SM - Signal Mode: Choose a trading direction compatible with the settings in your signal filter
█ POSITION INVESTMENT
Determine the percentage of your trading budget you would like to use in each position based on the strategy's profit or loss.
• LINVB - Loss Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is in a loss.
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• LINV% - Loss Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 10% in loss, and a initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 50%, your investment will be 50% of $90, $45.
• PINVB - Profit Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is in profit.
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• PINV% - Profit Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 10% in profit, and an initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 100%, your investment will be 100% of $110, $110.
• RISK% - Risk Percentage:
○ Determine how much of the calculated position investment is at risk when the stop-loss is hit.
- For example, 1% of $45 represents a maximum loss of $0.45.
○ Risk percentage works together with the stop loss and the max leverage.
• MXLVG - Maximum Leverage:
○ Investigate the trading rules for your trading pair and use the maximum allowed amount of leverage.
○ To determine the number of contracts to be bought or sold, considering the stop loss and the specified risk percentage, the maximum leverage available will constrain the amount of leverage utilized to ensure that the maximum risk threshold is not exceeded. For instance, suppose the stop loss is set at 1%, and the risk percentage is defined as 10%. Initially, the calculated leverage to be used would be 10. However, if there is a maximum leverage cap set at 5, it would constrain the calculated leverage of 10 to adhere to the maximum limit of 5.
█ EXIT STOP LOSS
Determine the Stop Loss price based on your selected configuration.
As the stop loss is an integral part of the ordered contracts calculation used in conjunction with the Risk and Max leverage, you'll always need to provide a stop loss price.
• SLB - Stop Loss Base: Choose a stop loss mode for calculating stop loss prices.
○ Risk: Determines the price using the Risk parameter (RISK%) and maximum leverage (MXLVG). In this case, SLB% will not have any impact.
○ Price Entry + Offset: Calculates the stop loss price based on a offset percentage (SLB%) from the entry price of the position.
• SLB% - Stop Loss Base Percentage: Define an offset percentage that will be applied in the price entry + offset stop loss mode.
• SLT - Stop Loss Trailing:
○ Fixed: The initial stop loss will be kept and no trailing stop loss will be applied.
○ Trail Price: Computes the trailing stop loss price based on an offset percentage (SLT%) from the closing price of the current candle.
- If a better stop loss price is calculated, it will be set as the new stop loss price.
○ Trail Incr: Adapts the trailing stop loss price based on the offset percentage (SLT%).
- Each price change in favor of your position will incrementally adapt the trailing stop loss with SLT%.
• SLT% - Stop Loss Trailing Percentage: This percentage serves as an offset or increment depending on your chosen trailing mode.
█ EXIT TAKE PROFIT
Determine the Take Profit price based on your selected configuration.
• TPB - Take Profit Base: Choose a take profit mode for calculating take profit prices.
○ Reward: Determines the take profit price using the Risk parameter (RISK%) and the calculated Stop Loss price and the set reward percentage (TPB%).
- For example: Risk 1%, Calculated Stop loss price: $90, Entry price: $100, Reward (TPB%): 2%, will result in a take profit price on $120.
○ Price Entry + Offset: Calculates the take profit price based on a offset percentage (TPB%) from the entry price of the position.
- For example: Entry price: $100, Offset (TPB%): 2%, will result in a take profit price on $102.
• TPB% - Take Profit Base Percentage: Define an offset percentage that will be applied in the price entry + offset take profit mode.
• TPT - Take Profit Trailing:
○ Fixed: The initial take profit will be kept and no trailing take profit will be applied.
○ Trail Price: Computes the trailing take profit price based on an offset percentage (TPT%) from the closing price of the current candle.
- If an applicable take profit price is calculated, it will be set as the new take profit price.
○ Trail Incr: Adapts the trailing take profit price based on the offset percentage (TPT%). Each price change against your position will incrementally adapt the trailing take profit with TPT%.
• TPT% - Take Profit Trailing Percentage: This percentage serves as an offset or increment depending on your chosen trailing mode.
█ STRATEGY CONDITIONS
Specify when the strategy is permitted to execute trades.
• DATE: Enable the Date Range filter to restrict entries to a specific date range.
○ START: Set a start date and hour to commence trading.
○ END: Set an end date and hour to conclude trading within the defined range.
■ VISUALS
• LINE: Activate a colored dashed diagonal line to visually connect the entry and exit points of positions.
• SLTP: Enable visualization of stop loss, take profit, and break-even levels.
• PNL: Enable Break-Even and Close Lines along with a colored area in between to visualize profit and loss.
• ☼: Brightness % : Adjust the opacity of the plotted trading visuals.
• P - Profit Color : Choose the color for profit-related elements.
• L - Loss Color: Choose the color for loss-related elements.
• B - Breakeven Color : Select the color for break-even points.
• EL - Long Color: Specify the color for long positions.
• ES - Short Color: Specify the color for short positions.
• TRADE LABELING: For better analysis we've labeled all entries and exits conform with the type of order your strategy has executed, some examples:
○ XL-TP-150: Exit Long - Take Profit - Position 150
○ XS-TP-154: Exit Short - Take Profit - Position 154
○ XL-SL-160: Exit Long - Stop Loss - Position 160
○ XS-SL-164: Exit Short - Stop Loss - Position 164
█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up the strategy with a signal filter and an RSI indicator
Let's connect the Strategy to a connectable signal filter and a connectable RSI indicator :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load RSI / Connectable
• Load Signal filter / Connectable
• Load Strategy / Connectable
2. Signal Filter: Connect the RSI to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the three input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→) and choose : RSI / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter signals settings if needed
• The default settings of the filter enable EL (Enter Long), XL (Exit Long), ES (Enter Short) and XS (Exit Short).
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold (TH) is set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score in each connectable indicator is 1 point above the threshold. Adjust to your liking.
5. Strategy: Connect the strategy to the signal filter in the strategy settings
• Select the strategy input → and select the Signal filter: Signal connector
6. Strategy: Enable filter compatible directions
• Set the signal mode of the strategy to a compatible direction with the signal filter.
Now that everything is connected, you'll notice green spikes in the signal filter representing long signals, and red spikes indicating short signals. Trades will also appear on the chart, complemented by a performance overview. Your journey is just beginning: delve into different scoring mechanisms, merge diverse connectable indicators, and craft unique chains. Instantly test your results and discover the potential of your configurations. Dive deep and enjoy the process!
█ BENEFITS
• Adaptable Modular Design: Arrange indicators in diverse structures via direct or daisy chaining, allowing tailored configurations to align with your analysis approach.
• Streamlined Backtesting: Simplify the iterative process of testing and adjusting combinations, facilitating a smoother exploration of potential setups.
• Intuitive Interface: Navigate TradingView with added ease. Integrate desired indicators, adjust settings, and establish alerts without delving into complex code.
• Signal Weight Precision: Leverage granular weight allocation among signals, offering a deeper layer of customization in strategy formulation.
• Advanced Signal Filtering: Define entry and exit conditions with more clarity, granting an added layer of strategy precision.
• Clear Visual Feedback: Distinct visual signals and cues enhance the readability of charts, promoting informed decision-making.
• Standardized Defaults: Indicators are equipped with universally recognized preset settings, ensuring consistency in initial setups across different types like momentum or volatility.
• Reliability: Our indicators are meticulously developed to prevent repainting. We strictly adhere to TradingView's coding conventions, ensuring our code is both performant and clean.
█ COMPATIBLE INDICATORS
Each indicator that incorporates our open-source 'azLibConnector' library and adheres to our conventions can be effortlessly integrated and used as detailed above.
For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES AND CLARIFICATIONS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.
• Point systems: The azLibConnector provides 500 points for each direction (EL: Enter long, XL: Exit long, ES: Enter short, XS: Exit short) Remember this cap when devising a point structure.
• Flow misconfiguration: In daisy chains the first indicator should always have a flow (⌥) setting of 'indicator only' while other indicator should have a flow (⌥) setting of 'both'.
• Recalculate: While this strategy has undergone extensive testing, enabling recalculation options like 'After order is filled' or 'On every tick' may lead to unexpected behavior.
• Fill orders: The strategy is thoroughly tested, yet enabling fill order options such as 'Using bar magnifier', 'On bar close', or 'Using standard OHLC' might result in unexpected outcomes.
• Layout and abbreviations: To maintain a consistent structure, we use abbreviations for each input. While this may initially seem complex, you'll quickly become familiar with them. Each abbreviation is also explained in the inline tooltips.
• Optimized for crypto trading: While many principles are common across markets, this strategy is specifically optimized and tested for crypto trading.
• Inputs: Connecting a connectable indicator directly to the strategy delivers the raw signal without a weight threshold, meaning every signal will trigger a trade.

在腳本中搜尋"stop loss"
Investments/swing trading strategy for different assetsStop worrying about catching the lowest price, it's almost impossible!: with this trend-following strategy and protection from bearish phases, you will know how to enter the market properly to obtain benefits in the long term.
Backtesting context: 1899-11-01 to 2023-02-16 of SPX by Tvc. Commissions: 0.05% for each entry, 0.05% for each exit. Risk per trade: 2.5% of the total account
For this strategy, 5 indicators are used:
One Ema of 200 periods
Atr Stop loss indicator from Gatherio
Squeeze momentum indicator from LazyBear
Moving average convergence/divergence or Macd
Relative strength index or Rsi
Trade conditions:
There are three type of entries, one of them depends if we want to trade against a bearish trend or not.
---If we keep Against trend option deactivated, the rules for two type of entries are:---
First type of entry:
With the next rules, we will be able to entry in a pull back situation:
Squeeze momentum is under 0 line (red)
Close is above 200 Ema and close is higher than the past close
Histogram from macd is under 0 line and is higher than the past one
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
For closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
Second type of entry:
With the next rules, we will not lose a possible bullish movement:
Close is above 200 Ema
Squeeze momentum crosses under 0 line
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
Like in the past type of entry, for closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
---If we keep Against trend option activated, the rules are the same as the ones above, but with one more type of entry. This is more useful in weekly timeframes, but could also be used in daily time frame:---
Third type of entry:
Close is under 200 Ema
Squeeze momentum crosses under 0 line
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
Like in the past type of entries, for closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
Risk management
For calculating the amount of the position you will use just a small percent of your initial capital for the strategy and you will use the atr stop loss for this.
Example: You have 1000 usd and you just want to risk 2,5% of your account, there is a buy signal at price of 4,000 usd. The stop loss price from atr stop loss is 3,900. You calculate the distance in percent between 4,000 and 3,900. In this case, that distance would be of 2.50%. Then, you calculate your position by this way: (initial or current capital * risk per trade of your account) / (stop loss distance).
Using these values on the formula: (1000*2,5%)/(2,5%) = 1000usd. It means, you have to use 1000 usd for risking 2.5% of your account.
We will use this risk management for applying compound interest.
In settings, with position amount calculator, you can enter the amount in usd of your account and the amount in percentage for risking per trade of the account. You will see this value in green color in the upper left corner that shows the amount in usd to use for risking the specific percentage of your account.
Script functions
Inside of settings, you will find some utilities for display atr stop loss, break evens, positions, signals, indicators, etc.
You will find the settings for risk management at the end of the script if you want to change something. But rebember, do not change values from indicators, the idea is to not over optimize the strategy.
If you want to change the initial capital for backtest the strategy, go to properties, and also enter the commisions of your exchange and slippage for more realistic results.
If you activate break even using rsi, when rsi crosses under overbought zone break even will be activated. This can work in some assets.
---Important: In risk managment you can find an option called "Use leverage ?", activate this if you want to backtest using leverage, which means that in case of not having enough money for risking the % determined by you of your account using your initial capital, you will use leverage for using the enough amount for risking that % of your acount in a buy position. Otherwise, the amount will be limited by your initial/current capital---
Some things to consider
USE UNDER YOUR OWN RISK. PAST RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT THE FUTURE.
DEPENDING OF % ACCOUNT RISK PER TRADE, YOU COULD REQUIRE LEVERAGE FOR OPEN SOME POSITIONS, SO PLEASE, BE CAREFULL AND USE CORRECTLY THE RISK MANAGEMENT
Do not forget to change commissions and other parameters related with back testing results!

Stochastic Moving AverageHi all,
This Strategy script combines the power of EMAs along with the Stochastic Oscillator in a trend following / continuation manner, along with some cool functionalities.
I designed this script especially for trading altcoins, but it works just as good on Bitcoin itself and on some Forex pairs.
______ SIGNALS ______
The script has 4 mandatory conditions to unlock a trading signal. Find these conditions for a long trade below (works the exact other way round for shorts)
- Fast EMA must be higher than Slow EMA
- Stochastic K% line must be in oversold territory
- Stochastic K% line must cross over Stochastic D% line
- Price as to close between slow EMA and fast EMA
Once all the conditions are true, a trade will start at the opening of the next
______ SETTINGS ______
- Trade Setup:
Here you can choose to trade only longs or shorts and change your Risk:Reward.
You can also decide to adjust your volume per position according to your risk tolerance. With “% of Equity” your stop loss will always be equal to a fixed percentage of your initial capital (will “compound” overtime) and with “$ Amount” your stop loss will always be 'x' amount of the base currency (ex: USD, will not compound)
Stop Loss:
The ATR is used to create a stop loss that matches current volatility. The multiplier corresponds to how many times the ATR stop losses and take profits will be away from closing price.
- Stochastic:
Here you can find the usual K% & D% length and overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) levels.
The “Stochastic OB/OS lookback” increase the tolerance towards OB/OS territories. It allows to look 'x' bars back for a value of the Stochastic K line to be overbought or oversold when detecting an entry signal.
The “All must be OB/OS” refers to the previous “Stochastic OB/OS lookback” parameter. If this option is ticked, instead of needing only 1 OB/OS value within the lookback period to get a valid signal, now, all bars looked back must be OB/OS.
The color gradient drawn between the fast and slow EMAs is a representation of the Stochastic K% line position. With default setting colors, when fast EMA > slow EMA, gradient will become solid blue when Stochastic is oversold and when slow EMA > fast EMA, gradient will become solid blue when Stochastic is overbought
- EMAs:
Just pick your favorite ones
- Reference Market:
An additional filter to be certain to stay aligned with the current a market index trend (in our case: Bitcoin). If selected reference market (and timeframe) is trading above selected EMA, this strategy will only take long trades (vice-versa for shorts) Because, let’s face it… even if this filter isn’t bulletproof, you know for sure that when Bitcoin tanks, there won’t be many Alts going north simultaneously. Once again, this is a trend following strategy.
A few tips for increased performance: fast EMA and D% Line can be real fast… 😉
As always, my scripts evolve greatly with your ideas and suggestions, keep them coming! I will gladly incorporate more functionalities as I go.
All my script are tradable when published but remain work in progress, looking for further improvements.
Hope you like it!
Grid Like StrategyIt is possible to use progressive position sizing in order to recover from past losses, a well-known position sizing system being the "martingale", which consists of doubling your position size after a loss, this allows you to recover any previous losses in a losing streak + winning an extra. This system has seen a lot of attention from the trading community (mostly from beginners), and many strategies have been designed around the martingale, one of them being "grid trading strategies".
While such strategies often shows promising results on paper, they are often subjects to many frictions during live trading that makes them totally unusable and dangerous to the trader. The motivations behind posting such a strategy isn't to glorify such systems, but rather to present the problems behind them, many users come to me with their ideas and glorious ways to make money, sometimes they present strategies using the martingale, and it is important to present the flaws of this methodology rather than blindly saying "you shouldn't use it".
Strategy Settings
Point determines the "grid" size and should be adjusted accordingly to the scale of the symbol you are applying the strategy to. Higher value would require larger price movements in order to trigger a trade, as such higher values will generate fewer trades.
The order size determines the number of contracts/shares to purchase.
The martingale multiplier determines the factor by which the position size is multiplied after a loss, using values higher to 2 will "squarify" your balance, while a value of 1 would use a constant position sizing.
Finally, the anti-martingale parameter determines whether the strategy uses a reverse martingale or not, if set to true then the position size is multiplied after any wins.
The Grid
Grid strategies are commons and do not present huge problems until we use certain position sizing methods such as the martingale. A martingale is extremely sensitive to any kind of friction (frictional costs, slippage...etc), the grid strategy aims to provide a stable and simple environment where a martingale might possibly behave well.
The goal of a simple grid strategy is to go long once the price crossover a certain level, a take profit is set at the level above the current one and stop loss is placed at the level below the current one, in a winning scenario the price reach the take profit, the position is closed and a new one is opened with the same setup. In a losing scenario, the price reaches the stop loss level, the position is closed and a short one is opened, the take profit is set at the level below the current one, and a stop loss is set at the level above the current one. Note that all levels are equally spaced.
It follows from this strategy that wins and losses should be constant over time, as such our balance would evolve in a linear fashion. This is a great setup for a martingale, as we are theoretically assured to recover all the looses in a losing streak.
Martingale - Exponential Decays - Risk/Reward
By using a martingale we double our position size (exposure) each time we lose a trade, if we look at our balance when using a martingale we see significant drawdowns, with our balance peaking down significantly. The martingale sequence is subject to exponential growth, as such using a martingale makes our balance exposed to exponential decays, that's really bad, we could basically lose all the initially invested capital in a short amount of time, it follows from this that the theoretical success of a martingale is determined by what is the maximum losing streak you can endure
Now consider how a martingale affects our risk-reward ratio, assuming unity position sizing our martingale sequence can be described by 2^(x-1) , using this formula we would get the amount of shares/contracts we need to purchase at the x trade of a losing streak, we would need to purchase 256 contracts in order to recover from a losing streak of size 9, this is enormous when you take into account that your wins are way smaller, the risk-reward ratio is totally unfair.
Of course, some users might think that a losing streak of size 9 is pretty unlikely, if the probability of winning and losing are both equal to 0.5, then the probability of 9 consecutive losses is equal to 0.5^9 , there are approximately 0.2% of chance of having such large losing streak, note however that under a ranging market such case scenario could happen, but we will see later that the length of a losing streak is not the only problem.
Other Problems
Having a capital large enough to tank 9any number of consecutive losses is not the only thing one should focus on, as we have to take into account market prices and trading dynamics, that's where the ugly part start.
Our first problem is frictional costs, one example being the spread, but this is a common problem for any strategy, however here a martingale is extra sensitive to it, if the strategy does not account for it then we will still double our positions costs but we might not recover all the losses of a losing streak, instead we would be recovering only a proportion of it, under such scenario you would be certain to lose over time.
Another problem are gaps, market price might open under a stop-loss without triggering it, and this is a big no-no.
Equity of the strategy on AMD, in a desired scenario the equity at the second arrow should have been at a higher position than the equity at the first arrow.
In order for the strategy to be more effective, we would need to trade a market that does not close, such as the cryptocurrency market. Finally, we might be affected by slippage, altho only extreme values might drastically affect our balance.
The Anti Martingale
The strategy lets you use an anti-martingale, which double the position size after a win instead of a loss, the goal here is not to recover from a losing strike but instead to profit from a potential winning streak.
Here we are exposing your balance to exponential gross but you might also lose a trade at the end a winning streak, you will generally want to reinitialize your position size after a few wins instead of waiting for the end of a streak.
Alternative
You can use other-kind of progressions for position sizing, such as a linear one, increasing your position size by a constant number each time you lose. More gentle progressions will recover a proportion of your losses in a losing streak.
You can also simulate the effect of a martingale without doubling your position size by doubling your target profit, if for example you have a 10$ profit-target/stop-loss and lose a trade, you can use a 20$ profit target to recover from the lost trade + gain a profit of 10$. While this approach does not introduce exponential decay in your balance, you are betting on the market reaching your take profits, considering the fact that you are doubling their size you are expecting market volatility to increase drastically over time, as such this approach would not be extremely effective for high losing streak.
Conclusion
You will see a lot of auto-trading strategies that are based on a grid approach, they might even use a martingale. While the backtests will look appealing, you should think twice before using such kind of strategy, remember that frictional costs will be a huge challenge for the strategy, and that it assumes that the trader has an important initial capital. We have also seen that the risk/reward ratio is theoretically the worst you can have on a strategy, having a low reward and a high risk. This does not mean that progressive position sizing is bad, but it should not be pushed to the extreme.
It is nice to note that the martingale is originally a betting system designed for casino games, which unlike trading are not subject to frictional costs, but even casino players don't use it, so why would you?

Crypto H4 Multi-TF Reversal & Momentum Robot [AlgoChadLin]The Crypto H4 Multi-TF Reversal & Momentum Robot is a sophisticated, multi-faceted trading system designed for the H4 timeframe. This robot uniquely combines multi-timeframe analysis with candlestick patterns and volatility indicators to identify and capitalize on major market reversals and momentum shifts. Its core strength lies in its ability to pinpoint significant turning points while ensuring trades are only entered in the direction of confirmed movement.
Strategy Logic
Multi-Timeframe Entry Logic : The strategy's primary entry signals are generated by identifying when the current price hits the previous month's high or low. This provides a robust, higher-timeframe confirmation of major support and resistance levels, filtering out noise from the H4 chart.
Momentum-Based Entry : To avoid false reversals, the robot executes trades with a stop-order entry mechanism. The long entry is placed above the Bollinger Bands upper band, while the short entry is placed below the lower band. This ensures trades are only triggered when price action confirms the reversal with a burst of momentum.
Dynamic Risk Management : Positions are managed with both a dynamic stop-loss and a fixed take-profit. A TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) acts as a dynamic stop-loss, trailing the price to protect against sudden reversals.
Pattern-Based Exits : The strategy incorporates classic candlestick patterns like the Bullish Piercing and Dark Cloud Cover for early, signal-based exits. This helps to lock in profits or mitigate losses when a reversal of the current trend is detected. A time-based stop also prevents trades from stagnating for too long.
Parameters
Bollinger Bands Period: Defines the lookback period for the Bollinger Bands, which helps to define the stop-order entry price.
TEMA Period: Sets the period for the Triple Exponential Moving Average, which acts as the dynamic stop-loss.
Profit Target: A fixed value in points that determines the take-profit level.
Entry Price Multiplier: Adjusts the distance of the stop-order from the Bollinger Bands.
Exit After Bars: Specifies the maximum duration a trade can be open before being automatically closed.
Setup
Timeframe: 4-Hour (H4)
Asset: While optimized for Bitcoin, this strategy's logic is applicable to other volatile cryptocurrencies like ETH and BNB . We encourage you to backtest it on these assets to find the best settings for your trading.
Bollinger Bandit + TP EscalonadoDescription:
The Bollinger Bandit is a clean, visual mean reversion strategy designed to help traders identify potential reversal opportunities using Bollinger Bands. This strategy offers two distinct exit methods, giving you the flexibility to choose between classic band-based exits or precise fixed take-profit/stop-loss levels.
How It Works (Simple Explanation):
Basic Concept:
Prices often tend to return to their average after moving too far away. Bollinger Bands help identify these extreme moments.
Entry Signals:
BUY (Green Triangle): When price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band
SELL (Red Triangle): When price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band
Exit Options (CHOOSE ONE ONLY):
Option 1: Band & Mean Exits (Traditional)
Exit when price touches the opposite band
Optional exit at the middle moving average
Option 2: Fixed SL/TP Exits (Precise Risk Management)
Stop Loss: Fixed points from entry
Take Profit 1: First profit target (closes 50% of position)
Take Profit 2: Second profit target (closes remaining 50%)
Key Features:
Clear Visual Signals - Easy-to-see triangles for entries
Color-Coded Levels - Instant visual understanding
Fully Customizable - Adjust everything to your preference
Two Exit Strategies - Choose what works for your style
Risk Management - Fixed SL/TP with proper risk-reward ratios
Input Settings:
Bollinger Bands Configuration:
Period (20): Length of the moving average
Multiplier (1.0): Band width adjustment
Exit Strategy Selection:
Use Custom SL/TP - Switch between exit methods
Close on Moving Average - Enable/disable mean exits
Risk Management (SL/TP Mode):
SL Points (5): Stop Loss distance in points
TP1 Points (3): First Take Profit target
TP2 Points (5): Second Take Profit target
Important Notes:
CHOOSE ONLY ONE EXIT METHOD:
You can use EITHER Band/Mean exits OR Fixed SL/TP exits
Never enable both simultaneously
Ideal Market Conditions:
Works best in ranging markets
May give false signals in strong trends
Test different timeframes (1H-4H recommended)
How to Use:
Add the strategy to your chart
Choose your preferred exit method

TrendPilot AI v2 — Adaptive Trend Day Trading StrategyOverview
TrendPilot AI v2 is a structured, rules-based day trading strategy that identifies and follows market momentum using a sophisticated blend of technical indicators. Optimized for 15-minute and higher timeframes on high market cap cryptocurrencies (AAVE, SOL, ETH, BCH, BTC) to minimize manipulation risks, it adapts to changing market conditions with dynamic risk management and controlled re-entry logic to maximize trend participation while minimizing noise.
Core Logic
Multiple EMA Trend Confirmation — Uses three Exponential Moving Averages (fast, medium, slow) to detect robust bullish, bearish, or neutral trends, ensuring trades align with the prevailing market direction.
ADX Momentum Filter — Employs an ADX-based filter to confirm strong trends, avoiding entries in choppy or low-momentum markets.
Smart Entry Filter — Optional ATR-based buffer (period 14, multiplier 1.5) around the fast EMA prevents entries at overextended prices, enhancing trade precision.
Flexible Exit System — Offers multiple exit options: fixed take-profit (default 1.7 offset), trend-reversal exits, or ATR-based trailing stops (period 14, multiplier 2.0), with secure modes requiring candle closes for confirmation to gain Max Profit.
Controlled Re-Entry Logic — Allows re-entries after take-profit or price-based stop-loss with configurable wait periods (default 6 bars), max attempts (default 2), and EMA touch requirements (fast, medium, or slow).
State-Aware Risk Management — Tracks trend states and recent exits to adapt entries, with daily trade limits (default 5 long/short) and loss cooldowns (default 2 stop-losses) for disciplined trading.
How to Use & Configuration

CVD Daily High/Low Breakout StrategyThis script implements a breakout-based approach using Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) alongside price action, designed for educational and analytical purposes on TradingView charts. It plots CVD as a candle chart and draws horizontal lines for session highs and lows in CVD and price, which are used to identify potential breakout points. Entries are triggered when both CVD and price break these levels, confirmed by swing patterns, EMA alignment, and multi-timeframe Supertrend direction. Exits are managed with a user-defined risk-reward ratio and stop-loss based on recent swings.
Key Components:
CVD Calculation: Utilizes TradingView's ta.requestVolumeDelta to approximate volume delta from lower timeframes, plotted as candles for visual analysis.
Session Management: Starts a new session at a user-specified UTC time (default 22:00), tracking highs/lows in CVD and price until an EMA cross ends the session.
Breakout Logic: Requires dual confirmation (CVD and price breakout) with a delta proportion check to filter outliers.
Filters: Incorporates swing high/low detection with candlestick patterns (e.g., hammers, engulfing) for stop placement, and Supertrend on two higher timeframes (default H1 and H4) for trend alignment.
Table Display: Shows Supertrend trends from the selected timeframes in a top-right table for quick reference.
Inputs:
Anchor Period: Timeframe for CVD reset (default "1D").
EMA Length: Period for the EMA used in session ending (default 200).
Start Time (UTC): Hour and minute to begin daily sessions (default 22:00).
Pivot Length: Bars for swing detection (default 5).
Risk Reward Ratio: Multiplier for take-profit relative to stop-loss (default 1.0).
Supertrend Settings: Source (close), ATR period (10), multiplier (3.0), and two timeframes (60m, 240m).
Line Colors/Width: Customizable for high/low CVD lines.
This script is intended solely for informational and educational use to explore volume delta and breakout concepts. It does not constitute financial, investment, trading, or any other type of advice or recommendation. Past performance, including any backtest results, is not indicative of future results, and trading involves substantial risks, including the potential for significant losses.

1h Liquidity Swings Strategy with 1:2 RRLuxAlgo Liquidity Swings (Simulated):
Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to detect 1h swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support).
The lookback parameter (default 5) controls swing point sensitivity.
Entry Logic:
Long: Uptrend, price crosses above 1h swing low (ta.crossover(low, support1h)), and price is below recent swing high (close < resistance1h).
Short: Downtrend, price crosses below 1h swing high (ta.crossunder(high, resistance1h)), and price is above recent swing low (close > support1h).
Take Profit (1:2 Risk-Reward):
Risk:
Long: risk = entryPrice - initialStopLoss.
Short: risk = initialStopLoss - entryPrice.
Take-profit price:
Long: takeProfitPrice = entryPrice + 2 * risk.
Short: takeProfitPrice = entryPrice - 2 * risk.
Set via strategy.exit’s limit parameter.
Stop-Loss:
Initial Stop-Loss:
Long: slLong = support1h * (1 - stopLossBuffer / 100).
Short: slShort = resistance1h * (1 + stopLossBuffer / 100).
Breakout Stop-Loss:
Long: close < support1h.
Short: close > resistance1h.
Managed via strategy.exit’s stop parameter.
Visualization:
Plots:
50-period SMA (trendMA, blue solid line).
1h resistance (resistance1h, red dashed line).
1h support (support1h, green dashed line).
Marks buy signals (green triangles below bars) and sell signals (red triangles above bars) using plotshape.
Usage Instructions
Add the Script:
Open TradingView’s Pine Editor, paste the code, and click “Add to Chart”.
Set Timeframe:
Use the 1-hour (1h) chart for intraday trading.
Adjust Parameters:
lookback: Swing high/low lookback period (default 5). Smaller values increase sensitivity; larger values reduce noise.
stopLossBuffer: Initial stop-loss buffer (default 0.5%).
maLength: Trend SMA period (default 50).
Backtesting:
Use the “Strategy Tester” to evaluate performance metrics (profit, win rate, drawdown).
Optimize parameters for your target market.
Notes on Limitations
LuxAlgo Liquidity Swings:
Simulated using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow. LuxAlgo may include proprietary logic (e.g., volume or visit frequency filters), which requires the indicator’s code or settings for full integration.
Action: Please provide the Pine Script code or specific LuxAlgo settings if available.
Stop-Loss Breakout:
Uses closing price breakouts to reduce false signals. For more sensitive detection (e.g., high/low-based), I can modify the code upon request.
Market Suitability:
Ideal for high-liquidity markets (e.g., BTC/USD, EUR/USD). Choppy markets may cause false breakouts.
Action: Backtest in your target market to confirm suitability.
Fees:
Take-profit/stop-loss calculations exclude fees. Adjust for trading costs in live trading.
Swing Detection:
Swing high/low detection depends on market volatility. Optimize lookback for your market.
Verification
Tested in TradingView’s Pine Editor (@version=5):
plot function works without errors.
Entries occur strictly at 1h support (long) or resistance (short) in the trend direction.
Take-profit triggers at 1:2 risk-reward.
Stop-loss triggers on initial settings or 1h support/resistance breakouts.
Backtesting performs as expected.
Next Steps
Confirm Functionality:
Run the script and verify entries, take-profit (1:2), stop-loss, and trend filtering.
If issues occur (e.g., inaccurate signals, premature stop-loss), share backtest results or details.
LuxAlgo Liquidity Swings:

Strategy Components
1. Core Signal Logic (High-Speed Momentum)
The strategy’s engine is a momentum-based system using fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), now tuned for faster, more frequent trades.
How It Works:
Fast/Slow EMAs: Fast EMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 7, Conservative: 9 bars) and slow EMA (12/14/18 bars) track short-term vs. longer-term momentum.
Crossover Signals:
Buy: Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, and trend_dir = 1 (fast EMA > slow EMA + ATR * strength threshold).
Sell: Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, and trend_dir = -1 (fast EMA < slow EMA - ATR * strength threshold).
Strength Filter: ma_strength = fast EMA - slow EMA must exceed an ATR-scaled threshold (Aggressive: 0.15, Balanced: 0.18, Conservative: 0.25) for robust signals.
Trend Direction: trend_dir confirms momentum, filtering out weak crossovers in choppy markets.
Evolution:
Faster EMAs (down from 7–10/21–50) catch short-term trends, perfect for active futures markets.
Lower strength thresholds (0.15–0.25 vs. 0.3–0.5) make signals more sensitive, boosting trade frequency without sacrificing quality.
Preset tuning ensures beginners get optimized settings, while pros can tweak via mode selection.
2. Market Sentiment Filters
The strategy leans hard into market sentiment with a VIX filter, SPX trend analysis, and sector breadth visuals, keeping trades aligned with the big picture.
VIX Filter:
Logic: Blocks long entries if VIX > threshold (default: 20, can_long = vix_close < vix_limit). Shorts are always allowed (can_short = true).
Impact: Prevents longs during high-fear markets (e.g., VIX spikes in crashes), while allowing shorts to capitalize on downturns.
SPX Trend Filter:
Logic: Compares S&P 500 (SPX) close to its SMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 8, Conservative: 12 bars). spx_trend = 1 (UP) if close > SMA, -1 (DOWN) if < SMA, 0 (FLAT) if neutral.
Impact: Provides dashboard context, encouraging trades that align with market direction (e.g., longs in UP trend).
Sector Breadth (Visual):
Logic: Tracks 10 sector ETFs (XLK, XLF, XLE, etc.) vs. their SMAs (same lengths as SPX). Each sector scores +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral), summed as breadth (-10 to +10).
Display: Green background if breadth > 4, red if breadth < -4, else neutral. Dashboard shows sector trends (↑/↓/-).
Impact: Faster SMA lengths make breadth more responsive, reflecting sector rotations (e.g., tech surging, energy lagging).
Why It’s Brilliant:
- VIX filter adds pro-level volatility awareness, saving beginners from panic-driven losses.
- SPX and sector breadth give a 360° view of market health, boosting signal confidence (e.g., green BG + buy signal = high-probability trade).
- Shorter SMAs make sentiment visuals react faster, perfect for 5min charts.
3. Risk Management
The risk controls are a fortress, now tighter and more dynamic to support frequent trading while keeping accounts safe.
Preset-Based Risk:
Aggressive: Fast EMAs (5/12), tight stops (1.1x ATR), 1-bar cooldown. High trade frequency, higher risk.
Balanced: EMAs (7/14), 1.2x ATR stops, 1-bar cooldown. Versatile for most traders.
Conservative: EMAs (9/18), 1.3x ATR stops, 2-bar cooldown. Safer, fewer trades.
Impact: Auto-scales risk to match style, making it foolproof for beginners.
Adaptive Stops and Take-Profits:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * atr_mult (1.1–1.3x, down from 1.2–2.0x). Take-profits = entry ± ATR * take_mult (2x stop distance, 2:1 reward/risk). Longs: stop below entry, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Tighter stops increase trade turnover while maintaining solid risk/reward, adapting to volatility.
Trade Cooldown:
Logic: Preset-driven (Aggressive/Balanced: 1 bar, Conservative: 2 bars vs. old user-input 2). Ensures bar_index - last_trade_bar >= cooldown.
Impact: Faster cooldowns (especially Aggressive/Balanced) allow more trades, balanced by VIX and strength filters.
Contract Sizing:
Logic: User sets contracts (default: 1, max: 10), no preset cap (unlike old 7/5/3 suggestion).
Impact: Flexible but risks over-leverage; beginners should stick to low contracts.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Tighter stops and faster cooldowns make it a high-octane system without blowing up accounts.
- Preset-driven risk removes guesswork, letting newbies trade confidently.
- 2:1 TPs ensure profitable trades outweigh losses, even in volatile sessions like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are simple yet razor-sharp, now with VIX filtering and faster signals:
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: buy_signal (fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, trend_dir = 1), no position (strategy.position_size = 0), cooldown passed (can_trade), and VIX < 20 (can_long). Enters with user-defined contracts.
Short Entry: sell_signal (fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, trend_dir = -1), no position, cooldown passed, can_short (always true).
Logic: Tracks last_entry_bar for visuals, last_trade_bar for cooldowns.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: ATR-based stops (1.1–1.3x) and TPs (2x stop distance). Longs exit if price hits stop (below) or TP (above); shorts vice versa.
No Other Exits: Keeps it straightforward, relying on stops/TPs.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending clean function with informative metrics utilized by professionals, now enhanced by faster signals and a responsive breadth background:
EMA Plots:
Display: Fast EMA (blue, 2px), slow EMA (orange, 2px), using faster lengths (5–9/12–18).
Purpose: Highlights momentum shifts, with crossovers signaling entries.
Sector Breadth Background:
Display: Green (90% transparent) if breadth > 4, red (90%) if breadth < -4, else neutral.
Purpose: Faster breadth_sma_len (5–12 vs. 10–50) reflects sector shifts in real-time, reinforcing signal strength.
- Visuals are intuitive, turning complex signals into clear buy/sell cues.
- Faster breadth background reacts to market rotations (e.g., tech vs. energy), giving a pro-level edge.
6. Sector Breadth Dashboard
The new bottom-left dashboard is a game-changer, a 3x16 table (black/gray theme) that’s your market command center:
Metrics:
VIX: Current VIX (red if > 20, gray if not).
SPX: Trend as “UP” (green), “DOWN” (red), or “FLAT” (gray).
Trade Longs: “OK” (green) if VIX < 20, “BLOCK” (red) if not.
Sector Breadth: 10 sectors (Tech, Financial, etc.) with trend arrows (↑ green, ↓ red, - gray).
Placeholder Row: Empty for future metrics (e.g., ATR, breadth score).
Purpose: Consolidates regime, volatility, market trend, and sector data, making decisions a breeze.
- VIX and SPX metrics add context, helping beginners avoid bad trades (e.g., no longs if “BLOCK”).
Sector arrows show market health at a glance, like a cheat code for sentiment.
Key Features
Beginner-Ready: Preset modes and clear visuals make futures trading a breeze.
Sentiment-Driven: VIX filter, SPX trend, and sector breadth keep you in sync with the market.

Gradient Sniper Elite🧠 Gradient Sniper Elite — Precision Trend Detection and Tactical Trade Execution for Crypto
Gradient Sniper Elite is a high-performance crypto trend strategy engineered for accuracy, adaptability, and smart execution on the 1-hour timeframe. This script is not just a mashup — it's a purpose-built system that combines trend, momentum, and volume filters in a structured and non-repainting framework designed for optimal entry and exit timing.
🔍 What Makes It Original?
This strategy combines several proven concepts into a unified, precision-calibrated trade engine:
✅ ZLEMA Gradient Filter: A slope-based trend filter that captures the direction and strength of momentum shifts without repainting.
✅ TEMA Confirmation: Triple EMA logic confirms trend acceleration or exhaustion by analyzing layered EMA cross-smoothing.
✅ RMI-Based Trend Direction: Replaces traditional RSI with a Relative Momentum Index (RMI), which smooths price momentum and avoids lag.
✅ ROC & Smoothed CCI: Dual momentum filters ensure that trades align with both velocity and structure of price moves.
✅ Volume Spike Filter: Filters out false breakouts and manipulation by confirming entries only during statistically significant volume surges.
✅ TP1/TP2 Split Take Profit Logic: 50% partial exit at TP1 and full exit at TP2. Ensures flexible profit-taking while maximizing trend continuation gains.
✅ Trend Weakness Exit: Trades are exited cleanly when the trend begins to weaken (as confirmed by RMI flip), preventing overstay and drawdown.
✅ 1-Bar Reversal Delay: The system enforces a 1-bar delay between a trade closure and any potential reversal entry, ensuring clean trend reversals and realistic live trading behavior.
✅ No Stop Loss: This strategy does not use a stop loss. Instead, it exits trades based on trend weakness or TP2 being hit. This avoids premature exits in volatile crypto environments, while maintaining controlled and dynamic trade management logic.
⚙️ How It Works
This strategy uses multi-layered confirmation:
Trend Structure
ZLEMA Gradient: Captures the slope of price action.
White Line + Fast/Slow Tether Lines: Define macro trend structure and act as dynamic S/R filters.
Momentum Alignment
Rate of Change (ROC): Measures directional velocity.
Smoothed CCI: Refines entry timing within the trend.
TEMA: Adds second-layer trend confirmation.
Volume Confirmation
Entry signals are validated by detecting relative volume spikes compared to a moving average baseline, avoiding entries on low-volume or fake breakouts.
Trade Management
Dynamic take-profits (TP1/TP2).
Immediate exit on trend weakening.
No same-bar entry/exit — reversal entries are delayed until after full exit confirmation.
No stop loss — trade management is handled via trend logic and take profit levels.
📊 Dashboard Overview
Gradient Sniper Elite includes a built-in dashboard in the top-right corner of the chart. It dynamically updates on each bar and shows:
📍 Position: Displays "Long", "Short", or "Flat" depending on the active trade
💰 Entry Price: The exact price where the trade was entered
📈 Unrealized %: Current profit/loss as a percentage
💵 Unrealized $: Estimated PnL in dollars, scaled to your backtest capital
📊 Trades / Win Rate: Live counter for total trades, win/loss count, and win rate
🎯 TP1 Hit / TP2 Hit: Shows ✅ or ❌ depending on whether each target level was reached during the current trade
This dashboard helps you monitor trade status, track live performance, and validate signal behavior in real time — all without repainting or relying on external tools.
📈 How to Use
Timeframe: Optimized for the 1-hour timeframe, but adaptable.
Asset Class: Primarily built for crypto markets, especially fast-moving alts like AVAX, LINK, QNT, etc.
Trade Mode: Supports long and short trades with clean reversal logic.
Dashboard: Live stats including position status, TP1/TP2 hit, win rate, and real-time PnL tracking.
Backtest Ready: Built with full compliance to TradingView backtest engine — results are realistic and match live-bar behavior.
⚠️ No Repainting — No Guesswork
Every element in this script is designed to work with confirmed bar data only. There is zero forward-looking logic. This makes Gradient Sniper Elite fully compatible with both backtesting and live algo execution.
🧩 Why This Isn’t Just a Mashup
Each indicator in this strategy has a specific role:
ZLEMA: Core trend slope engine.
TEMA: Trend reinforcement.
RMI: Directional decision layer.
CCI & ROC: Entry timing refinement.
Volume Filter: Risk filtering.
They’re not merged randomly, but combined in sequence to eliminate noise and optimize entries.

Altcoins DCA ScalperIntroduction
The Altcoins DCA Scalper is a Pine Strategy Script designed to automate Altcoins trading through 3Commas integration. It implements a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy that expands upon 3Commas' standard DCA capabilities, helping to manage risk while trading both long and short positions automatically.
This tool aims to assist both beginners exploring automated trading and experienced 3Commas users seeking dynamic DCA automation. The script is specifically designed for the 1-minute timeframe , where it has shown a good balance between performance and risk management. Complete setup typically takes less than 10 minutes, with a detailed guide making configuration straightforward for users of all experience levels.
------------------------------
🔶 What is DCA?
------------------------------
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) refers to the practice of gradually increasing your position size at lower prices when trading long, or at higher prices when trading short, to achieve a better average entry price if the market moves against the initial entry . Instead of investing all capital at once, which could result in a significant drawdown if the price moves unfavorably, DCA spreads entries across different price levels to help manage potential drawdowns as they occur.
In this script, DCA is implemented through a system that:
🔹 Triggers safety orders only when/if needed (if take profit isn't reached quickly)
🔹 Dynamically adjusts order sizing based on market volatility
🔹 Automatically reduces take profit targets after each DCA order to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome
🔹 Can handle drawdowns depending on market volatility and settings
The images below illustrate two scenarios: one where an entry reaches the take profit directly, without activating DCA orders, and another where DCA is utilized, with the order closing positively after two DCA orders.
Case 1: Order closes in profit after entry
Case 2: Order closes in profit after 2 DCA orders (dynamically placed based on trend and volatility)
This DCA implementation aims to enhance standard 3Commas DCA by adding market-adaptive features while maintaining risk management principles.

------------------------------
🔶 How it Works
------------------------------
The Altcoins DCA Scalper provides trading automation through:
Market Analysis
* Multi-timeframe trend analysis (1m to 1d) for market direction and entry validation
* Volatility assessment (1h, 4h, 24h) benchmarked against TOTAL3 (excluding Top10 Altcoins and Stablecoins)
* Real-time adjustment of DCA parameters based on:
* Current volatility class (low/medium/high) vs. overall Altcoins market
* Market trend strength
* Price action dynamics
Trading Execution
* Position opening aligned with detected market trends
* "Beast Mode" base order sizing that increases position size during strong trends
* Dynamic take-profit targets that automatically reduce after each safety order to increase the likelihood of positive exits
* Dynamic DCA with safety orders that can:
* Adapt timing based on volatility
* Scale order sizes based on market conditions
* Handle 30-50% drawdowns depending on volatility class
* Execute up to 6 safety orders per position
Risk Management
* Emergency exits during extreme market events:
* "Black Swan" protection for long positions
* "God-Candle" protection for short positions
* Configurable stop-loss with volatility-based placement
* Trend-switch management with automated position reversal
* Position aging controls to prevent capital lock-up
* Leveraged trading protection with a pre-liquidation exit system
Integration & Automation
* Quick setup with two 3Commas bots (typically under 10 minutes)
* Fully automated signal generation and execution through 3Commas
* Detailed performance tracking including:
* Real-time position metrics
* DCA depth analysis
* Win rate and ROE calculations
* Pre-configured settings optimized for most pairs
* Multiple customization options for experienced users
Note: While this strategy employs automation and risk management, trading always carries the risk of loss. No system can guarantee profits, and market conditions significantly impact performance. Always do your own research and monitor your positions closely.
------------------------------
How to Use
------------------------------
Setting up the Altcoins DCA Scalper is quick and facilitated by the User Interface:
1️⃣ 3Commas/TradingView Setup
* Create two 3Commas accounts if using the FREE plan:
* One account for Long Bot
* One account for Short Bot
* This split allows full functionality while staying within 3Commas' free tier limits
* You do not need two separate accounts if you have a Paid 3Commas subscription
* While a free TradingView account works with the script, it limits you to one trading pair and a 4-day backtesting history. A paid TradingView subscription removes these limitations (such as the "Essential" plan).
2️⃣ Bot Configuration
* Create one Long and one Short DCA Bot in 3Commas
* Follow the setup guide available in the script itself for hassle-free configuration
* Copy Bot IDs and Email Token for script connection
* No complex settings needed - the script manages all DCA parameters by itself
3️⃣ Script Implementation
* Apply the script to your TradingView charts
* Use the built-in backtesting to analyze performance on different pairs
* Focus on USDT.P futures pairs with good volatility
4️⃣ Trading Activation
* Create TradingView alerts for each trading pair you want to activate
* Example: Set an alert for BINANCE: XRPUSDT.P following the in-script guide
* The script automatically manages all aspects:
* Entry and exit decisions
* DCA execution
* Risk management
* Position monitoring
Capital Requirements
* Important: Ensure sufficient capital to cover all activated pairs
* Consider volatility class when allocating capital to specific pairs
Once setup is complete, the script operates fully automatically while you maintain complete control of your funds through 3Commas and your exchange.
Note: While the setup is straightforward, always start with a small number of pairs and monitor performance before expanding. Trade responsibly and never risk more than you can afford to lose.

------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions
------------------------------
Here are some common questions you may have, and our answers:
❓ Is this tool only for experts? I'm new to algo trading, can I use it?
No, the Altcoins DCA Scalper could be used by both beginners and experienced traders. The setup process is guided, and the algorithm handles all the calculations in the background.
❓ I'm not familiar with 3Commas. Is that a problem?
While the script is designed to work with 3Commas, a step-by-step guide is provided within the script to help you set up your 3Commas accounts and bots, if needed.
❓ Do I need to constantly monitor the script after it's set up?
No, after the initial setup and configuration, the script operates autonomously. It handles all aspects of trading including entries, exits, DCA management, and risk controls. However, we recommend:
* Checking performance metrics daily
* Reviewing position statistics weekly
* Adjusting pair selection monthly based on performance
* Monitoring overall market conditions that might require adjustments
❓ Can I use it with leverage?
Yes, the script is designed to work with leverage up to 5x on perpetual futures pairs (USDT.P). It includes specific features for leveraged trading:
* Dynamic safety order placement based on distance to liquidation
* Pre-liquidation exit system to minimize exchange fees
* Adjustable take-profit targets optimized for leveraged positions
* Emergency exit system for extreme market movements
* Optional risk controls specific to leverage:
* Automatic exit in the liquidation danger zone
* Position size scaling based on leverage level
* Safety order adjustments for different leverage settings
While leverage can amplify returns, it also increases risk. We recommend starting with lower leverage (2x), or no leverage at all, until familiar with the script's operation.
❓ Does this script guarantee profits?
No, no script or trading strategy can guarantee profits. The Altcoins DCA Scalper provides a framework for implementing an automated DCA strategy, but your success will depend on many different factors and conditions.
❓ Do I need to understand the complex algorithms used in the script?
No, it’s not necessary. The logic is handled by the script, and you do not need to understand every detail to use it effectively. However, a basic knowledge of DCA concepts will be beneficial.
❓ Can I use this script with spot or leveraged trades?
The script is optimized for USDT.P pairs (perpetual futures) with leverage up to 5x. This allows:
* Automatic long/short position management
* Increased capital utilization
* Full DCA functionality without holding the underlying assets
* Enhanced risk management features specific to futures
While spot trading is possible, it requires holding underlying assets for shorts and doesn't access the script's full capabilities.
❓What timeframe should I use?
This script is optimized for the 1-minute timeframe , which is the recommended setting for the best balance between performance, capital efficiency, and risk. While we recommend using the tool on the 1 minute TF, it would work on other timeframes too.
❓ What happens if my internet/computer goes down?
Since the script sends signals from Tradingview to 3Commas (which executes trades on your exchange), your positions and DCA management continue to function even if your TradingView chart is closed or your computer is off. The script only needs to be active to generate new signals.
❓ How are the DCA parameters determined?
The script dynamically adjusts DCA parameters based on:
* The pair's volatility class (compared to the overall altcoin market)
* Current market conditions and volatility
* Position direction (long/short)
* Leverage settings
* Number of safety orders already executed
This allows for adaptive/dynamic DCA compared to static or %-based parameters.
❓ What exchanges are supported?
The script works with any exchange supported by 3Commas for futures trading (approximately 15 different crypto Exchanges). However, it's optimized for Binance Futures (USDT.P pairs) due to its high liquidity and for consistency.
❓ What happens during extreme market conditions?
The script includes some (optional) protective measures that can be activated:
* Emergency exits during sharp and abnormal market moves
* Automatic adjustment of DCA parameters during high volatility
* Position closure on significant trend changes
* Special handling of aged positions
These features aim to protect capital during unusual market conditions.
❓How many pairs can I trade simultaneously?
This depends on your total capital. As a general indication, define the number of pairs to activate based on:
* Total available capital
* Desired position size per pair
* Risk tolerance
* Pairs' volatility class
------------------------------
Final Thoughts
------------------------------
We believe that your trading performance will greatly depend on your selection of appropriate trading pairs for this script (high volatility), and your commitment to regularly monitoring its performance and adjust the settings, rather than on the script alone.

4Vietnamese 3x SupertrendThis strategy attempts to capture long positions in the Vietnamese stock market using a combination of three Supertrend indicators and additional filters. It utilizes pyramiding to enter up to three long positions with a 33.33% allocation each.
Key Elements:
Supertrend Indicators: Three Supertrend indicators are used with different lengths and multipliers to identify potential trend changes.
Entry Conditions:
The strategy looks for a downtrend on the slowest Supertrend (Supertrend3) followed by uptrends on the medium (Supertrend2) and fast (Supertrend1) Supertrends.
Alternatively, if Supertrend3 is still downtrending, but Supertrend1 is downtrending and a significant previous high (highestGreen) exists, an entry signal is generated.
An optional filter allows using the highest of the last two red candles for highestGreen calculation.
Entry Stop Loss:
An optional stop loss can be set based on the entry price of previous long positions, preventing further losses if the price falls below entry prices.
Exit Conditions:
Three exit options are available:
- All Downtrend Exit: Close all positions if all Supertrends turn uptrend and a bearish candlestick pattern (close price lower than open price) is formed.
- Average Price in Loss Exit: Close all positions if the average entry price of open positions is higher than the current closing price (indicating a loss).
- All Positions in Loss Exit: Close all positions if any of the following conditions are met:
A single open position exists, and its entry price is higher than the current close price.
Two open positions exist, and their entry prices are both higher than the current close price.
Three open positions exist, and their entry prices are all higher than the current close price.
Pyramiding: The strategy allows entering up to three long positions with a fixed allocation of 33.33% each.
Customization Options:
The strategy provides various input parameters to customize its behavior:
Supertrend lengths and multipliers for each indicator.
Option to use the highest of the last two red candles for highestGreen calculation.
Enabling/disabling Entry Stop Loss and different exit conditions.
Further Enhancements:
Explore additional entry and exit filters to refine trade signals.
Consider incorporating risk management techniques like position sizing and trailing stops.
Backtest the strategy with historical data to evaluate its effectiveness and identify potential areas for improvement.
DCA Alpha 1.0 Trading Tool for Dollar-Cost Averaging
Description:
DCA Alpha 1.0 is a precision-engineered trading tool designed to assist traders and investors in accumulating assets during market downturns. Using proprietary algorithms that combine momentum decay, extreme price deviation metrics, trend dynamics, divergence analysis, and mean regression, it identifies potential bottom extreme zones in various asset classes such as indices, stocks, crypto, and commodities.
This indicator highlights market conditions where assets are oversold, undervalued, or experiencing capitulation—providing disciplined, unleveraged dollar-cost averaging (DCA) opportunities. Ideal for long-term growth strategies, DCA Alpha 1.0 helps cut through market noise, pinpointing moments of peak fear and maximum reward potential.
Whether navigating volatile crypto markets, timing corrections in indices, or accumulating commodities, DCA Alpha 1.0 serves as a vital tool for mastering the art of buying low and building your assets up strategically.
Instructions:
Getting Started:
Add the Indicator:
Install DCA Alpha 1.0 on your TradingView chart.
Select your preferred asset class: stocks, indices, crypto, or commodities.
Choose an appropriate timeframe (e.g., daily or weekly for long-term DCA strategies).
Customize Inputs: Adjust the following settings to align with your strategy:
Percentage of Equity to Trade: Define the portion of your portfolio to allocate per signal (default: 1% equity).
Profit Target Percentages: Set thresholds for locking in gains (default: 50% on lower timeframes, 500% on higher timeframes).
Zones and Signals:
Extreme Negative Zones:
What It Represents:
These zones highlight conditions where prices are deeply oversold, indicating extreme bearish sentiment. The market is likely nearing a bottom, offering high-probability buying opportunities.
Entry Signals:
When the price enters these extreme negative zones, visual markers (e.g., green triangles or other indicators) will signal a potential buying opportunity. These moments are indicative of market exhaustion, signaling that a reversal could be imminent.
Momentum Decay & Divergence:
Momentum decay occurs when price movement slows over time. In extreme negative zones, if prices continue to fall but at a diminishing rate (e.g., decreased volume or a fading oscillator), it suggests weakening bearish momentum. This, coupled with bullish divergence (oscillator forming higher lows while price makes lower lows), signifies a reversal, making it an ideal point to consider dollar-cost averaging into the asset.
Neutral Zones:
What It Represents:
The neutral zone is a state of market equilibrium, where prices are neither overbought nor oversold. The market is in a balanced state, with no strong trend emerging.
Mean Regression:
In a neutral zone, the market is reverting to its mean or average price after overreacting in either direction. A price transition from extreme zones (overbought/oversold) to the neutral zone suggests a reversion to the market's long-term average, making this a period of reduced volatility and uncertainty.
Entering or Exiting Neutral Zones:
Traders should avoid entering or exiting positions during neutral zone conditions unless transitioning from an extreme zone (negative or positive). Transitioning from an extreme negative zone to neutral may suggest an opportunity to accumulate assets gradually, while a shift from neutral to an extreme negative zone may indicate a deeper correction and warrant caution.
Momentum Decay & Divergence (Exiting Neutral Zone):
If prices are rising but the oscillator shows lower highs (bearish divergence), and momentum is fading, this could signal a pullback. A transition out of the neutral zone in this context may prompt traders to hold off on new positions or consider profit-taking.
Extreme Positive Zones:
What It Represents:
Markets can also become overbought or overvalued. When price enters extreme positive zones, the asset may be overvalued, suggesting potential selling or a waiting period.
Exit Signals:
Red triangle indicators signal potential exit points when prices reach overbought conditions, signaling a time to lock in profits and reduce exposure.
Momentum Decay & Divergence (Exiting Positive Zone):
When prices are making new highs but momentum is weakening (momentum decay) and the oscillator is showing lower highs (bearish divergence), this could indicate a faltering rally. Such conditions represent an ideal time to reduce exposure or exit positions.
Key Inputs for Customization:
Percentage of Equity to Trade:
This setting allows you to allocate a portion of your total portfolio per buy signal. By default, 1% of equity is used per signal, but this can be adjusted based on your risk tolerance and strategy.
Profit Target Percentages:
These thresholds help lock in gains once the price moves a set percentage in your favor.
Lower Timeframes: Default profit target of 50%.
Higher Timeframes: Default profit target of 500%.
These settings can be customized for specific risk/reward preferences.
Warning!!! : Aggressive Mode
Aggressive Mode is an advanced feature designed for traders who want to increase the frequency of signals during periods of market volatility. This mode will trigger more frequent entries, even into slightly less extreme zones, capturing short-term reversals.
What Aggressive Mode Does:
It amplifies signals by allowing the tool to identify more frequent price reversals, including brief market corrections, increasing trade frequency. While this can offer more trading opportunities, it also exposes you to higher risk.
Warning:
Aggressive Mode should be used only by experienced traders familiar with short-term volatility. The increased frequency of signals could lead to higher risk exposure. Ensure robust risk management practices, such as stop-loss orders and profit-taking strategies, are in place before activating this mode.
Default Setting:
Aggressive Mode is disabled by default. It can be activated at your discretion based on your experience level and risk appetite.
Best Practices:
Focus on High-Quality Assets: Prioritize assets with strong recovery potential (e.g., major indices, blue-chip cryptocurrencies).
Use Longer Timeframes: Minimize market noise and optimize your DCA strategy by focusing on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly charts).
Review Trading Inputs: Regularly adjust your inputs to ensure they align with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
Implement Risk Management: Use stop-loss orders and profit targets to manage risk, especially when using Aggressive Mode.
Disclaimer:
DCA Alpha 1.0 is designed specifically for unleveraged, long-term dollar-cost averaging strategies. It is not intended for day trading or leveraged positions. The tool excels at identifying market dips but cannot guarantee success. Users are fully responsible for their own risk management, including the use of stop-losses, profit targets, and position sizing.
Aggressive Mode increases trade frequency and may lead to higher exposure and potential losses. Only experienced traders should consider using this mode. Always understand the risks involved before incorporating this tool into your trading strategy.
[Support and Resistance with Trend Lines] with Backtest (TSO) with Backtest (TSO)
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
This indicator serves as a comprehensive full-cycle trading system, providing alerts at each stage of the trade, from opening to closure. The algorithm uses most recent and historical S&R (Support and Resistance) levels with most recent and historical Trend Lines, generating signals for trades when Breaks/Bounces occur (Trade Open Signal triggers can be configured via very customizable indicator Input "Signal Trigger Matrix" settings). With signal for trade open, TP (Take Profit and SL (Stop Loss) levels are calculated as well and marked on the chart including alerts for each action of the trade. The indicator offers a variety of automated approaches for TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss) settings. These include static current/historical S&R (Support and Resistance) levels or S&R/Trend Lines dynamic breaks for TP (Take-Profit) and various SL (Stop-Loss) approaches, including ATR Trailing SL, opposite S&R (Support and Resistance) levels SL, opposite Trend Lines SL and more. This diverse set of tools ensure flexibility in tailoring TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss) parameters to different market conditions, contributing to a more adaptive and robust trading system. Additionally, a series of signal analysis tools, including market sentiment, candle bar analysis, divergence, and volume, enhance the precision of trading signals.
* Works with popular timeframes: 1M, 3M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 45M, 1H.
* Works well with Futures and Indices, can be used to trade Stocks, Crypto and FOREX.
* Includes LIVE alert/labels Breakouts and Bounces signal trigger feature, which can be used for scalping (NOTE: This approach cannot be backtested).
* Every action of the trade is calculated on a confirmed closed candle bar state (barstate.isconfirmed), so the indicator will never repaint.
==============================================================
Indicator examples:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy Config: SRTL_MES_15M3Y_EODoff_ALL
Here is a nice example of MES (Micro E-Mini S&P 500 Index Futures) configuration, which uses S&R (Support and Resistance) breakouts as signal trigger with Elliot Wave confirmation and previous S&R historical levels for TP (Take-Profit).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An example of an intraday Tesla trade. Also the green arrows will be displayed IMMEDIATELY when Breakout/Reverse Bounce occurs (same an Alert will be triggered immediately).
===========================================================================
Trading open/close/TP/SL labels, plots and colors explanations:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> S&R (Support and Resistance) levels/lines: orange - support, blue - resistance (can be hidden).
>>> Trend Lines: yellow - support, green - resistance (can be hidden).
>>> Blue labels show resistance breakouts and bounces, light-blue - bullish, dark-blue - bearish
>>> Yellow labels show resistance breakouts and bounces, light-yellow - bullish, dark-yellow - bearish
>>> Green/Red arrows on top/bottom of candle bar will show LIVE breakouts (if turned on)
>>>>> LONG open: green "house" looking arrow below candle bar.
>>>>> SHORT open: red "house" looking arrow above candle bar.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT take-profit target: green/red circles (multi-profit > TP2/3/4/5 smaller circles).
>>>>> LONG/SHORT stop-loss target: green/red + crosses.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT take-profit hits: green/red diamonds.

STATS TABLE ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Trading STATS table on the chart showing current trade direction, Last TP (Take-Profit) Taken, Current Trade PL (profit/loss in price difference from trade open to the very current state).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTOM TRADING DATE RANGE /////////////////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> This feature can be used to manually set indicator trading range from and to a specific date and time. NOTE: This is not intended for a very long date range backtesting, utilize TradingView Strategy Tester for that.
* Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see Backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case - manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Deep Backtesting” feature!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRADAY ACTIVE TRADING SESSION CONFIGURATION /////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Regional Active Trading Session Hours Schedule: If selected - trades will only open during regional active trading session, if 'OFF', there will be no trading schedule and trades will open 24/7.
>>> EOD(End of Day) Close - On/Off: Close the trade if it's still open at the end of active trading session (on the very last candle bar). NOTE: If no region is selected at 'Regional Active Trading Session Schedule' - there will be no EOD(End of Day) Close and trades will run overnight until either SL(Stop-Loss) or TP(Take-Profit) is hit!
>>>>> EOD(End of Day) Close - 1 candle bar before last: This is specifically for stocks as while usually indices can be closed 15minutes after the market closes, for stocks - the last candle bar closes at the same time with the market active trading session, which if closed - trades can't be closed until next day/session! Enable this setting for the trade to close/alert 1 candle bar before the last one, so there is still time to close the trade at the Broker (NOTE: depending on the timeframe, 1 candle bar can be: 15sec, 30sec, 1min, 3min, 5min, 15min, 30min, 45min, 1h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGNAL TRIGGER MATRIX ////////////////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Trading Engine: This setting turns on TradingView Strategy trading engine for backtesting.
>>> Market Session Only: With this setting turned on, all signal trigger Breaks/Bounces will be hidden during Pre/Post market time.
>>> Plot S&R Levels/Lines: Plot S&R (Support and Resistance) on chart. Note: historical levels/lines will only be plotted if hit (Break/Bounce).
>>> Plot Trend Lines Levels/Lines: Plot Trend Lines levels/lines on chart. Note: historical levels/lines will only be plotted if hit (Break/Bounce).
>>> Use S&R Current Levels | Use S&R Historical Levels | Use Trend Lines Current Levels | Use Trend Lines Historical Levels |: Choose which levels should be used for Breaks/Bounces to be captured on. If all triggers are turned on/checked - whatever happens 1st wins the trigger.
>>> Breaks | Bounces: 'Breaks': Turn on Breaks through levels/lines signal trigger. | 'Bounces': Turn on Bounces off levels/lines signal trigger.
>>> Signal: Regular | Signal: S&R Combo | Signal: TL Combo | Signal: S&R + TL Combo | Signal: Repeat Action |: Trade open signal trigger execution approach MATRIX (If 1 or more turned on at the same time - whatever comes first will be the trade signal trigger). 'Regular': A single Break/Bounce must occur on a closed bar for signal trigger. 'S&R Combo': A combination of 2 Current + Historical S&R (Support and Resistance) Break/Bounce must happen in the same direction on same bar for signal trigger. 'TL Combo': A combination of 2 Current + Historical Trend Lines Break/Bounce must happen in the same direction on same bar for signal trigger. 'S&R + TL Combo': a combination of ANY S&R and Trend Line Break/Bounce must happen in the same direction on same bar for signal trigger. 'Repeat Action': Initial and then confirmation (2nd/3rd/etc. consecutive occurence) Break/Bounce must occur on same level/line for signal trigger.
>>> Historical - Look Back (# of days): How far back (in # of days) will historical S&R/Trend Lines will be used for Trade Open signals/TP/SL/etc.
>>> Historical - Look Back Invalidation (# of days): IF THERE IS TOO MUCH HISTORICAL LEVELS/LINES ON CHART - LOWER THIS SETTING + MAKE SURE IT'S SMALLER THAN 'Historical - Look Back (# of days)'. With big Look back period (5+ days) - it can become very messy with too many historical levels/lines. To clear oldest historical levels/lines - set Look Back Invalidation # of days to less than Historical Look Back # of days. (After X # of Look Back Invalidation days - older levels/lines will become invalidated and no longer used for opening trades/TP (Take-Profit)/SL (Stop-Loss), while newer levels/lines will still be discovered.
>>> S&R/Trend Lines - Support/Resistance combined into 1 entity: Every level or a line becomes simply a level or a line, regardless if it originally was a support or resistance. By default, depending on the level/line originally being support or resistance - the signal direction will be such as: Resistance is broken > LONG / bounced > SHORT; Support is broken > SHORT / bounced > LONG; with this setting on, either level or line can be both broken or bounced off in ANY direction, trade open direction will depend on current market sentiment only.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>> S&R - Historical S&R Levels - Extend to the right: Extend all S&R lines to the right.
>>> S&R (Current/Historical) - Live Breakout/Bounce - ALERT/SHOW: NOTE: Alert wlil trigger immediately at price Breaking thru or Bouncing off level/line and an arrow above /below the bar will show the direction of breakout/bounce. If on that same live bar - price comes back causing the Breakout/Bounce become no longer valid - the arrow will disappear as the condition of the Break/Bounce will no longer be valid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TREND LINES CONFIGURATION ////////////////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Show: Trend Line development (where it 'did not exist' yet): It takes 2 pivots to develop a trend line, pivot is established at least 3 candle bars later from where the pivot is. With this setting turned on - it will plot dashed lines where trend lines originated connecting the 1st and 2nd pivot point up to where the trend line became established (where in reality you would now be able to draw a certain trend line). Established already generated trend line are plotted with a solid line.
>>> Trend Lines - Line Slope Confirmation: LONG breakout will only be shown if trend line is goind downslope \. SHORT breakout will only be shown if trend line is goind upslope /.

If on that same live bar - price comes back causing the Breakout/Bounce become no longer valid - the arrow will disappear as the condition of the Break/Bounce will no longer be valid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAKE-PROFIT/STOP-LOSS CONFIGURATION ///////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> TP (Take-Profit) System: 'S&R Static Current/Historical': TP (Take-Profit) is calculated using current/historical S&R (Support & Resistance) levels at trade open and remains static. 'S&R/Trend Lines Dynamic Breaks': TP (Take-Profit) is fully dynamic and will be trigger at price above trade open price and with Breakout occurence (S&R or Trend Line current/historical breakout).
>>> TP (Take-Profit) # of targets: It is wise to divide the trade into several profit targets. With this setting - up to 5 TP (Take-Profit) targets can be approached. The trade will be equally divided up by the selected # of TP (Take-Profit) targets.
>>> SL (Stop-Loss) System: 'ATR-Trailing-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is trail-following the ATR (Average True Range) line, NOTE: If at signal trigger, ATR will be against the trade direction - trade open signal will be skipped; 'S&R-Static-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set at trade open per optimal most recent S&R level and remains there until trade closes; 'TrendLines-Static-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set at trade open per optimal most recent trend line and remains there until trade closes; 'TrendLines-Dynamic-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) will be set per current opposite trend line and follow it until trade is open.; 'Oppos-Sig-Trd-in-Loss': SL (Stop-Loss) will trigger at opposite signal with trade currently at loss.
>>> SL (Stop-Loss) - On/Off: Without SL (Stop-Loss), unless EOD (End of Day) Close is turned on - there will be no SL (Stop-Loss) at all!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKET SENTIMENT CONFIRMATION ///////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Market Sentiment: Signal is confirmed per Market Sentiment direction. If Market Sentiment is turned off - whatever signal comes 1st will be the trade open trigger.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGNAL ANALYSIS AND CLEANUP ///////////////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Signal Cleanup - Bar Color: Include Bar Color (bullish/bearish) confirmation, LONG signal will only be opened if signal bar is green/bullish, SHORT if red/bearish.
>>> Signal Cleanup - Bar Directional Structure: Skip opposite bar structure types signals (For example: bearish green hammer).
>>> Signal Cleanup - Bar Doji Skip: Skip doji (indecisive) candles signals.
>>> Signal Cleanup - EWO (Elliott Wave Oscillator): Include EWO (Elliott Wave Oscillator), LONG will only be opened if EWO is bullish / SHORT if EWO is bearish.
>>> Signal Cleanup - VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Include VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), LONG will only be opened if price is above VWAP / SHORT if price is below VWAP.
>>> Signal Cleanup - MA (Moving Average) Confirmation: Include MA (Moving Average), LONG will only be opened if MA is bullish / SHORT if MA is bearish.
>>> Signal Cleanup - ATR (Average True Range): Include ATR (Average True Range) confirmation, LONG will only be opened if ATR is bullish / SHORT if ATR is bearish.
>>> Signal Cleanup - Divergence(RSI + MACD): Include Divergence (RSI + MACD ) confirmation, LONG will only be opened if Divergence is bullish / SHORT if Divergence is bearish.
>>> Signal Cleanup - Volume % Strength: Include Volume strength/percentage confirmation, LONG/SHORT will only be opened with strong Volume matching the signal direction | By default, strong Volume percentage is set to 150% and weak to 50%.
>>> Signal Cleanup - Volume Above Average: Include Volume Above Moving Average (Volume closing bar closes above volume moving average) confirmation, LONG/SHORT will only be opened with Volume above average - Volume closed bar color must match the closed price color (bullish/bearish direction) + Volume bar must be closed above volume MA line).

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

2Mars - MA / BB / SuperTrend
The 2Mars strategy is a trading approach that aims to improve trading efficiency by incorporating several simple order opening tactics. These tactics include moving average crossovers, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend.
Entering a Position with the 2Mars Strategy:
Moving Average Crossover: This method considers the crossing of moving averages as a signal to enter a position.
Price Crossing Bollinger Bands: If the price crosses either the upper or lower Bollinger Band, it is seen as a signal to enter a position.
Price Crossing Moving Average: If the price crosses the moving average, it is also considered a signal to enter a position.
SuperTrend and Bars confirm:
The SuperTrend indicator is used to provide additional confirmation for entering positions and setting stop loss levels. "Bars confirm" is used only for entry to positions.
Moving Average Crossover Strategy:
A moving average crossover refers to the point on a chart where there is a crossover of the signal or fast moving average, above or below the basis or slow moving average. This strategy also uses moving averages for additional orders #3.
Basis Moving Average Length: Ratio * Multiplier
Signal Moving Average Length: Multiplier
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands consist of three bands: an upper band, a lower band, and a basis moving average. However, the 2Mars strategy incorporates multiple upper and lower levels for position entry and take profit.
Basis +/- StdDev * 0.618
Basis +/- StdDev * 1.618
Basis +/- StdDev * 2.618
Additional Orders:
Additional Order #1 and #2: closing price crosses above or below the Bollinger Bands.
Additional Order #3: closing price crosses above or below the basis or signal moving average.
Take Profit:
The strategy includes three levels for taking profits, which are based on the Bollinger Bands. Additionally, a percentage of the position can be chosen to close long or short positions.
Limit Orders:
The strategy allows for entering a position using a limit order. The calculation for the limit order involves the Average True Range (ATR) for a specific period.
For long positions: Low price - ATR * Multiplier
For short positions: High price + ATR * Multiplier
Stop Loss:
To manage risk, the strategy recommends using stop loss options. The stop loss is updated with each entry order and take-profit level 3. When using the SuperTrend Confirmation, the stop loss requires confirmation of a trend change. It allows for flexible adjustment of the stop loss when the trend changes.
There are three options for setting the stop loss:
1. ATR (Average True Range):
For long positions: Low price - ATR * Long multiplier
For short positions: High price + ATR * Short multiplier
2. SuperTrend + ATR:
For long positions: SuperTrend - ATR * Long multiplier
For short positions: SuperTrend + ATR * Short multiplier
3. StdDev:
For long positions: StdDev - ATR * Long multiplier
For short positions: StdDev + ATR * Short multiplier
Flexible Stop Loss:
There is also a flexible stop loss option for the ATR and StdDev methods. It is triggered when the SuperTrend or moving average trend changes unfavorably.
For long positions: Stop-loss price + (ATR * Long multiplier) * Multiplier
For short positions: Stop-loss price - (ATR * Short multiplier) * Multiplier
How configure:
Disable SuperTrend, take profit, stop loss, additional orders and begin setting up a strategy.
Pick soucre data
Number of bars for confirm
Pick up the ratio of the base moving average and the signal moving average.
Set up a SuperTrend
Time for set up of the Bollinger Bands and the take profit
And finaly set up of stop loss and limit orders
All done!

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

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

Risk Management and Positionsize - MACD exampleMastering Risk Management
Risk management is the cornerstone of successful trading, and it's often the difference between turning a profit and suffering a loss. In light of its importance, I share a risk management tool which you can use for your trading strategies. The script not only assists in position sizing but also comes with built-in technical features that help in market timing. Let's delve into the nitty-gritty details.
Input Parameter: MarginFactor
One of the key features of the script is the MarginFactor input parameter. This element lets you control the portion of your equity used for placing each trade. A MarginFactor of -0.5 means 50% of your total equity will be deployed in placing the position size. Although Tradingview has a built-in option to adjust position sizing in a same way, I personally prefer to have the logic in my pinecode script. The main reason is userexperience in managing and testing different settings for different charts, timeframes and instruments (with the same strategy).
Stoploss and MarginFactor
If your strategy has a 4% stop-loss, you can choose to use only 50% of your equity by setting the MarginFactor to -0.5. In this case, you are effectively risking only 2% of your total capital per trade, which aligns well with the widely-accepted rule of thumb suggesting a 1-2% risk per trade. Similar if your stoploss is only 1% you can choose to change the MarginFactor to 1, resulting in a positionsize of 200% of your equity. The total risk would be again 2% per trade if your stoploss is set to 1%.
Max Drawdown and MarginFactor
Your MarginFactor setting can also be aligned with the maximum drawdown of your strategy, seen during a backtested period of 2-3 years. For example, if the max drawdown is 15%, you could calibrate your MarginFactor accordingly to limit your risk exposure.
Option to Toggle Number of Contracts
The script offers the option to toggle between using a percentage of equity for position sizing or specifying a fixed number of contracts. Utilizing a percentage of equity might yield unrealistic backtest results, especially over longer periods. This occurs because as the capital grows, the absolute position size also increases, potentially inflating the accumulated returns generated by the backtester. On the other hand, setting a fixed number of contracts as your position size offers a more stable and realistic ROI over the backtested period, as it removes the compounding effect on position sizes.
Key Features Strategy
MACD High Time Frame Entry and Exit Logic
The strategy employs a high time frame MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) to make entry and exit decisions. You can easily adjust the timeframe settings and MACD settings in the inputsection to trade on lower timeframes. For more information on the HTF MACD with dynamic smoothing see:
Moving Average High Time Frame Filter
To reduce market 'noise', the strategy incorporates a high time frame moving average filter. This ensures that the trades are aligned with the dominant market trend (trading the trend). In the inputsection traders can easily switch between different type of moving averages. For more information about this HTF filter see:
Dynamic Smoothing
The script includes a feature for dynamic smoothing. The script contains The timeframeToMinutes(tf) function to convert any given time frame into its equivalent in minutes. For example, a daily (D) time frame is converted into 1440 minutes, a weekly (W) into 10,080 minutes, and so forth. Next the smoothing factor is calculated by dividing the minutes of the higher time frame by those of the current time frame. Finally, the script applies a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over the MACD, SIGNAL, and HIST values, MA filter using the dynamically calculated smoothing factor.
User Convenience: One of the major benefits is that traders don't need to manually adjust the smoothing factor when switching between different time frames. The script does this dynamically.
Visual Consistency: Dynamic smoothing helps traders to more accurately visualize and interpret HTF indicators when trading on lower time frames.
Time Frame Restriction: It's crucial to note that the operational time frame should always be lower than the time frame selected in the input sections for dynamic smoothing to function as intended.
By incorporating this dynamic smoothing logic, the script offers traders a nuanced yet straightforward way to adapt High Time Frame indicators for lower time frame trading, enhancing both adaptability and user experience.
Limitations: Exit Strategy
It's crucial to note that the script comes with a simplified exit strategy, devoid of features like a stop-loss, trailing stop-loss or multiple take profits. This means that while the script focuses on entries and risk management, it might result in higher losses if market conditions unexpectedly turn unfavorable.
Conclusion
Effective risk management is pivotal for trading success, and this TradingView script is designed to give you a better idea how to implement positions sizing with your preferred strategy. However, it's essential to note that this tool should not be considered financial advice. Always perform your due diligence and consult with financial advisors before making any trading decisions.
Feel free to use this risk management tool as building block in your trading scripts, Happy Trading!
Elliott Wave with Supertrend Exit - Strategy [presentTrading]## Introduction and How it is Different
The Elliott Wave with Supertrend Exit provides automated detection and validation of Elliott Wave patterns for algorithmic trading. It is designed to objectively identify high-probability wave formations and signal entries based on confirmed impulsive and corrective patterns.
* The Elliott part is mostly referenced from Elliott Wave by @LuxAlgo
Key advantages compared to discretionary Elliott Wave analysis:
- Wave Labeling and Counting: The strategy programmatically identifies swing pivot highs/lows with the Zigzag indicator and analyzes the waves between them. It labels the potential impulsive and corrective patterns as they form. This removes the subjectivity of manual wave counting.
- Pattern Validation: A rules-based engine confirms valid impulsive and corrective patterns by checking relative size relationships and fib ratios. Only confirmed wave counts are plotted and traded.
- Objective Entry Signals: Trades are entered systematically on the start of new impulsive waves in the direction of the trend. Pattern failures invalidate setups and stop out positions.
- Automated Trade Management: The strategy defines specific rules for profit targets at fib extensions, trailing stops at swing points, and exits on Supertrend reversals. This automates the entire trade lifecycle.
- Adaptability: The waveform recognition engine can be tuned by adjusting parameters like Zigzag depth and Supertrend settings. It adapts to evolving market conditions.
ETH 1hr chart
In summary, the strategy brings automation, objectivity and adaptability to Elliott Wave trading - removing subjective interpretation errors and emotional trading biases. It implements a rules-based, algorithmic approach for systematically trading Elliott Wave patterns across markets and timeframes.
## Trading Logic and Rules
The strategy follows specific trading rules based on the detected and validated Elliott Wave patterns.
Entry Rules
- Long entry when a new impulsive bullish (5-wave) pattern forms
- Short entry when a new impulsive bearish (5-wave) pattern forms
The key is entering on the start of a new potential trend wave rather than chasing.
Exit Rules
- Invalidation of wave pattern stops out the trade
- Close long trades on Supertrend downturn
- Close short trades on Supertrend upturn
- Use a stop loss of 10% of entry price (configurable)
Trade Management
- Scale out partial profits at Fibonacci levels
- Move stop to breakeven when price reaches 1.618 extension
- Trail stops below key swing points
- Target exits at next Fibonacci projection level
Risk Management
- Use stop losses on all trades
- Trade only highest probability setups
- Size positions according to chart timeframe
- Avoid overtrading when no clear patterns emerge
## Strategy - How it Works
The core logic follows these steps:
1. Find swing highs/lows with Zigzag indicator
2. Analyze pivot points to detect impulsive 5-wave patterns:
- Waves 1, 3, and 5 should not overlap
- Waves 3 and 5 must be longer than wave 1
- Confirm relative size relationships between waves
3. Validate corrective 3-wave patterns:
- Look for overlapping, choppy waves that retrace the prior impulsive wave
4. Plot validated waves and Fibonacci retracement levels
5. Signal entries when a new impulsive wave pattern forms
6. Manage exits based on pattern failures and Supertrend reversals
Impulsive Wave Validation
The strategy checks relative size relationships to confirm valid impulsive waves.
For uptrends, it ensures:
```
Copy code- Wave 3 is longer than wave 1
- Wave 5 is longer than wave 2
- Waves do not overlap
```
Corrective Wave Validation
The strategy identifies overlapping corrective patterns that retrace the prior impulsive wave within Fibonacci levels.
Pattern Failure Invalidation
If waves fail validation tests, the strategy invalidates the pattern and stops signaling trades.
## Trade Direction
The strategy detects impulsive and corrective patterns in both uptrends and downtrends. Entries are signaled in the direction of the validated wave pattern.
## Usage
- Use on charts showing clear Elliott Wave patterns
- Start with daily or weekly timeframes to gauge overall trend
- Optimize Zigzag and Supertrend settings as needed
- Consider combining with other indicators for confirmation
## Default Settings
- Zigzag Length: 4 bars
- Supertrend Length: 10 bars
- Supertrend Multiplier: 3
- Stop Loss: 10% of entry price
- Trading Direction: Both
[Volume Profile] Signal Clean Up Analysis with Backtest (TSO) This is a full-cycle trading system indicator, which uses Volume Profile for generating signals using a custom developed algorithm, TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels. There are 2 SOURCES for signals (each can be used separately or both can be used at the same time, each signal SOURCE is using Volume Profile levels to open optimal trade direction) with chained (NOTE: You can select several or ALL of the features, this is not limited to either one) signal cleanup and analysis approach with scheduling and alerting capabilities. Works with most popular timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D, great for intraday trading!
NOTE: Every calculation is done on a confirmed closed candle bar state, so the indicator will never repaint!
===========================================================================
Explanation of all the Features | Configuration Guide | Indicator Settings | Signal Cleanup Analysis
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Customizable Backtesting for a specific date range, results via TradingView strategy, which includes “Deep Backtesting” for largest amounts of data on trading results.
>>> Trading Schedule with customizable trading daily time range, automatic closing/alert trades before Power Hour or right before market closes or leave it open until next day.
>>> 3 Trading Systems.
>>> Multiple Signal SOURCEs for opening trades, either SOURCE can be used or both at the same time!
>>> Static/Dynamic Stop-Loss setups (HIGHLIGHT: Stop-Loss will be moved to Entry after TP1 is taken, which minimizes risk).
>>> Single or Multiple profit targets (up to 3).
>>> Take-Profit customizable offset feature (set your Take-Profit targets slightly before everyone is expecting it!).
>>> Candle bar signal analysis (matching candle color, skip opposite structured and/or doji candle uncertain signals).
>>> Additional analysis of VWAP/EMA/ATR/EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator)/Divergence MACD+RSI/Volume signal confirmation (clean up your chart with indicator showing only the best potential signals!).
>>> Advanced Alerts setup, which can be potentially setup with a trading bot over TradingView Webhook (NOTE: This will require advanced programming knowledge).
===========================================================================
Labels, plots, colors explanations:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Signal SOURCE(s): Green/Red arrows, which will be shown unconditionally, outside of trade engine and can be hidden if desired.
>>>>> LONG open: green "house" looking arrow below candle bar.
>>>>> SHORT open: red "house" looking arrow above candle bar.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT take-profit target: green/red circles (multi-profit > TP2/3/4/5 smaller circles).
>>>>> LONG/SHORT take-profit hits: green/red diamonds.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT stop-loss target: green/red + crosses.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT stop-loss hits: green/red X-crosses.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT EOD close (profitable trade): green/red squares.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT EOD close (loss trade): green/red PLUS(+)-crosses.
===========================================================================
Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!).
>>> Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/trunning, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | SL (Stop-Loss) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set for the remaining of the trade ||| 2) Dynamic – At trade open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set the same way, however once 1st Take-Profit is taken > Stop-Loss is moved to Entry, reducing the risk.
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…
===========================================================================
Take-Profit and Stop-Loss visual example:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) A simply nice intraday trading day for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST) with a single Take-Profit target on each trade.
See how Take-Profit distances increase with price momentum and how Stop-Loss is following the trade reducing the risk!
2) Same intraday trading day for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST) with 3 Take-Profit targets with static Stop-Loss.
3) Same intraday trading day for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST) with 3 Take-Profit targets with dynamic Stop-Loss.
You can see how Stop-Loss was moved once TP1 is taken!

Trade Analysis and Cleanup Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Candle Color signal confirmation: If closed candle bar color does not match the signal direction > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip opposite candle signals: If closed candle bar color will match the signal direction, but candle structure will be opposite (for example: bearish green hammer, long high stick on top of a small green square) > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip doji candle signals: If closed candle bar will be the uncertain doji > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator) signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, EWO is green or will be at bullish slope (you can select which setting you desire), SHORT if EWO is red or will be at bearish slope.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | VWAP signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above VWAP, SHORT if below.

How it works
It's important to remember that merely having the AI-Powered Strategy Optimizer 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 settings for your strategy.
The Trading Strategy Optimizer is a versatile tool tailored for both non-coding traders and seasoned algorithmic trading professionals. Let's start with no-code-required instructions on how to use the optimizer.
Instructions: How To Optimize Your Strategy Without Code
1. Build your strategy in the settings
The image above shows explanations for each key setting.
Note: This example uses the RSI indicator to initiate a long trade whenever it dips below the 30 mark.
Ensure that the indicator you wish to optimize is already applied to your chart . This enables the Trading Strategy Optimizer to interact with the indicator and finetune profit targets and stop losses effectively.
Because the indicator is plotted on the chart I can access the indicator with the Trading Strategy Optimizer and optimize profit targets and stop losses for it.
2. Leverage AI Recommendations
Optimization Prompt: After you load your strategy, the tool advises you on new TP and SL levels that could be more profitable.
When your strategy is set, the tool gives you tips for where to set your profit goal (TP) and your stop loss to help you optimize your strategy. It'll tell you if there's a better range for these settings based on past results.
Follow Suggestions: Keep updating your TP and SL according to the tool's suggestions until it says "Best Found".
Final Result: The last image shows the best settings found by the indicator.
(Optional Step 3)
3. Lock the profit target or stop loss to further fine tune your strategy
Continue following the AI’s suggestion until “Best Found” is displayed.
Note: you can select lock either your stop loss or profit target for fine tuning. For this demonstration we will lock our profit target.
Code-Required Instructions (Optional)
You can backtest more code-intensive strategies, such as harmonic patterns, traditional chart patterns, candlestick patterns, Elliot wave, etc., by coding the entry condition in your own script and loading it into the Trading Strategy Optimizer. Let's dial in on how to achieve this!
1. You must create an integer variable in your script with an initial value of "0".
2. Define your entry condition in the code. Once complete, assign the value "1" to the variable you created if the entry condition is fulfilled.
3. Plot your variable.
4. Select the plotted variable in the settings for the Trading Strategy Optimizer
The image above shows a coded entry condition for the linear regression channel (which can be any indicator). When price crosses under and closes below the lower line our variable "strategyEntryVariable" is assigned the value "1".
The Trading Strategy Optimizer will treat this change in value from "0" to "1" as an entry signal and enter long/short up to 1000 times at the price where the entry condition was fulfilled.
5. Test Your Strategy
The image above shows the completion of the process! Keep applying the steps we described. Stick with the AI's recommendations until you see “Best Found” show up.
By following these instructions, you can build, test, and optimize almost any trading indicator or strategy!
So, just note that the Trading Strategy Optimizer considers a change in value of a plotted variable from "0" to "1" as an entry signal! So long as you follow this rule you should be able to test and optimize any conceivable, Pine Script compatible strategy!
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 versions of your strategy 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 profit targets and stop losses 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 higher aggressiveness 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.
Additional Settings
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.
EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.
Disclaimer:
This script is intended for experimenting and backtesting different strategies around EMA bands. Use this script for your live trading at your own risk. I am a rookie coder, as such there may be errors in the code that cause the strategy to behave not as intended. As far as I can tell it doesn't repaint, but I cannot guarantee that it does not. That being said if there's any question, improvements, or errors you've found, drop a comment below!
3 Candle Strike SPY Option StrategyImportant notes:
1. This strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. All profit shown in back testing report is based on Profit/Loss (P/L) estimates from trading options with approximately 7.5 weeks of data. By default, it is set to 10 option contracts. By default the initial capital is set to $5000.
2. This strategy also takes into account of extended market data, so turn it on for it to work as intended.
3. This strategy is mainly developed for SPY trading on 1 min chart, it probably will not work with other tickers without tweaking all the parameters first.
4. At the time of publish, the market is experiencing high volatility. Keep that in mind as market conditions changes constantly.
How it works:
Basic idea of this strategy is to look for 3 candle reversal pattern within trending market structure. The 3 candle reversal pattern consist of 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles, followed by an engulfing candle in the opposite direction.
