MKAST V2 (monthly)PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE PURCHASING & USING THE MKAST Algorithm. Saves you and me some time in emails and messages. :)
This is the NEW MONTHLY ACCESS Version of the MKAST
The MKAST Buy Sell Algorithm is a very specific strategy, cut down to its roots and made perfect for the volatile crypto market.
Many Algorithms focus only on one aspect, one side, one specific rule.
As you know, this is not how life, the market or anything else works.
MKAST combines many different aspects at the same time, scans multiple other Algorithms and comes to a conclusion based on over 1350 lines of code.
It is based on Divergences, Elliott Waves , Ichimoku , MACD , MACD Histogram, RSI , Stoch , CCI , Momentum, OBV, DIOSC, VWMACD, CMF and multiple EMAs.
Every single aspect is weighted into the decision before giving out an indication.
Most buy/sell Algorithms FAIL because they try to apply the same strategy to every single chart, which
are as individual as humans.
To conquer this problem, MKAST has a wide range of settings and variables which can be easily
modified.
To make it a true strategy, MKAST has as well settings for Take Profit Points, Multiple Entries and Stop
Losses. Everything with an Alert Feature of course.
I know from experience that many people take one Algorithm and are simply too LAZY to add multiple Algorithms to make a rational choice.
The result of that is that they lose money, by following blatantly only one Algorithm.
MKAST has additional 9 Indicators, perfect for the crypto market, which can be turned on and off.
Manual
MKAST Signals Settings
“Show Signals?” - On/Off to show the Buy/Sell Signals.
“Aggressiveness” - Increase to make the signals less aggressive and decrease to make them more aggressive.
“Show Custom Signals?” - On/Off to show custom MKAST Signals as chosen in the settings below.
“Custom Buy/Sell Aggressiveness” - Choose a custom Aggressiveness for each buy and sell signal individually.
“TJ-Index Requirement For Buy/Sell” - If the TJ-Index is below the given number, it will show the signal in grey, this also applies for normal signals. Buy 0 and Sell 15 shows all signals in their original colour again.
“Don’t show signals that don’t meet index requirement?” - Checked, it will completely not show signals which would be “grey” as in the explanation above.
“Change Backgroundcolour if index is at 15 or 0?” - Checked, changes the colour of the chart if the index is at 15 or 0 points
MKAST Panel Settings
“Show Info Panel?” - Shows Info Panel on the chart.
“Move Info Panel UP by %” - Moves Info Panel up/down.
“Move Info Panel Left/Right ” - Moves Info Panel Left/Right.
“Show BitMEX Panel?” - Shows BitMEX Panel on the chart.
“Move BitMEX Panel by % ” - Moves BitMEX Panel up/down.
“Move BitMEX Panel Left/Right” - Moves BitMEX Panel Left/Right. “Signal Source” - Choose source of candle open/close for Equity calculation.
“Leverage Used?” - Select the used Leverage for your strategy and Equity calculation.
“Fees Per Trade in % ” - Deducts these fees after each trade from Equity calculation.
“Round Current Profit Price?” - Rounds the number on the Panel. “Trading Periods ” - Choose a trading Period which will be used to calculate Period Equity.
“Show separations of each Trading Period?” - Show separations on the chart of each Trading Period.
The very new feature on Tradingview and obviously now as well on MKAST are Information Panels.
I have chosen to add an Info Panel and a BitMEX Price Panel into MKAST, to make live and even
backtesting easier.
With only one blink of an eye the user is able to see ALL relevant information, without having to go
through various ways of checking and using other tools.
The Info Panel:
The first row shows the current profit. This is calculated since the signal initiation and the current candle close. Followed by a single number, which represents the current TJ-Index, removing the need of having to add the actual TJ-Index Oscillator on the chart.
The second row shows the current position and its status. This was added on request of many users wanting to know if their position is “about to change” or not. The status shows the users if the position is “endangered” or “okay”.
Followed by the “backtesting tool” already included inside the Panel. No need for complex oscillators with a hard reading for backtesting. With this one and simple panel, you see the Period Equity for the period chosen previously in the settings. This calculates all profits made inside that period and re-sets when the period ends. Right next to it, the Total Equity calculating ALL profits since the beginning of the chart.
Right below, you see the information about the last long and short position which have been open. This helps with the evaluation and documentation of the last trade.
The BitMEX Panel:
A convenient panel which shows all BitMEX contracts and their LIVE prices. The need for opening each chart goes away, the quality and experience of trading increases.
MKAST custom Signals are one of the notorious possibilities for ADVANCED strategies with MKAST.
Users who requested these features and use them frequently are the ones, having already a very unique trading strategy and they use these very custom signals as confluence or for multiple entry trades.
These custom signals and their settings can be mostly ignored by the majority of traders who are using this Algorithm.
The idea behind the grey signals has its roots in the idea of the TJ-Index. The TJ-Index being 15 Algorithms and conditions possible showing a bullish or bearish interpretation. The index counts the Algorithms which are showing a bullish interpretation.
Like that we can make sure that signals are shown in the original colour, are only those who have an additional confluence with the TJ-Index, not letting the user buy, if at least the majority is not bullish , and not letting the user sell, if at least the majority is bearish .
The custom buy and sell aggressiveness lets the user customise the MKAST algorithm even more.
Either the users wants to see how signals are changing on a different (slightly lower or higher) aggressiveness, being able to expect a change on their own settings. OR seeing that some signals of the same sort are a little out of place and is able to move these to a different aggressiveness, increasing the profitability even more.
Needless to say, custom signals are NOT a part of the Info Panel.
MKAST Label & Trendline Settings
“Show Labels?” - On/Off to show Labels above each signal, with the percentage gain or loss, calculated from the last signal to the new signal.
“Show Trendlines?” - On/Off to show automatic Trendlines following Gainzy Lines.
“Lookback Length” - Choose a length that the automatic trendiness use for calculation. Comparable to Aggressiveness.
“Wicks//Bodies” - Change between trendiness connecting from wick to wick or from body to body.
“Black lines// Coloured lines” - Change between simply black lines or changing colour lines.
“Filter Trendlines?” - On/Off to show all trendiness or just resistance decreasing and support increasing ones.
“Limit Extensions Of The Lines?” - This value increases by how much the trendiness are being extended. 0 = endless extension, otherwise 100 = maximum custom extension.MKAST Strategy “Take Profit 1” - On/Off to show TP1 points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is active.
“Take Profit 2 ” - On/Off to show TP2 points.
“Take Profit 2 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is
active.
“Take Profit 3” - On/Off to show TP3 points.
“Take Profit 3 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is active.
“Second Entry” - On/Off to show Second Entry points.
“Second Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Second Entry is active.
“Third Entry” - On/Off to show Third Entry points.
“Third Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Third Entry is active.
“Stop Loss” - On/Off to show Stop Loss points.
“Stop Loss After %” - Set the percentage after which Stop Loss is active.
MKAST Strategy
To make the life of the MKAST user even easier, I have added all adjustable Take Profit Points, Multiple entry points and Stop Loss points.
I have never seen a sustainable and reliable trading strategy without TPs, Multiple entry and especially without a stop loss. Everything in the usual and fully customisable MKAST style.
Simply choose how many Take Profit points you would like to have and choose the percentage after which you would like to see the Take Profit point appear on the chart and notify you to take profits.
Are you a Trader who likes Multiple Entries? Also no problem with MKAST. Select how many additional entries you would like to have and after how many percent you would like them to appear on the chart and remind you of adding to the position.
What would a Strategy be without a Stop Loss? Same settings apply here as on the TPs and MEs .
All of the settings are able to take fractions of a number as well. This enables users to even use all of the strategy settings for scalping or FX pairs, where high leverage and the smallest of moves are used for trading.
Needless to say, all of these settings work on RENKO and Heikin Ashi as well. These might need adjustment, since the calculation is different, yet there is nothing standing in the way of it anymore.
Crypto Modified Indicators
“Show Divergences?” - On/Off to show Divergences on the Chart based on the data of 10 different Algorithms.
“Show Oversold/bought?” - On/Off to change the colour of the chart in Oversold/bought conditions.
“Oversold/bought value?” - Choose a value for which the chart is Oversold/bought.
“Show Fibonacci Levels?” - On/Off to show automatic Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Lookback Lenght” - This value states how many candles from right now are taken into account to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Custom Period” - Choose a custom Timeframe that should be used to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
“2nd-7th Fibonacci Level” - Enter a value for the Fibonacci Levels you would like to use and see on the chart.
“Plot 1.618 Level?” - On/Off for the Fibonacci extension level.
Crypto Modified Indicators
“Show Bands?” - On/Off to show the TJ-Bands on the chart.
“Bands Length” - Choose a value for the TJ-Bands Lenght
“Show Show EMA 1-3?” - On/Off to show the EMAs 1-3 on the chart.
“EMA Lenght 1-3” - Choose a value for the first to third EMA Lenght
“Show Ichimoku? ” - On/Off to show Ichimoku on the chart.
“Show Tenkin?” - On/Off to show Tenkin on the chart. “Tenkin” - Set the lenght of the Tenkin.
“Show Kijun?” - On/Off to show Kijun on the chart.
“Kijun” - Set the lenght of the Kijun.
“Show Senkou?” - On/Off to show the Senkou on the chart. “Senkou” - Set the lenght of the Senkou.
“Displacement” - Set the value of the Displacement.
“Show Chikou Span?” - On/Off to show the Chikou Span on the chart.
Crypto Custom Indicators
In the picture above, you see the first pair of Crypto Custom Indicators. The oversold and overbought conditions are highlighted.
Bullish and Bearish divergences are also plotted on the chart.
This is personally my favourite combination of Indicators and MKAST settings. It shows nicely
everything one needs to know and makes it easier to decide wether to follow a signal or not.
We here as well a perfect example of the Automatic Fibonacci Lines (Lookback 50, Timeframe 1D).
It shows all significant levels, which we can see being respected.
Orange = 23.6%, Green = 38.2%, Red = 50%, Yellow = 61.8%, Blue = 78.6%, White = 0%;100%
In this picture above, we observe the perfect ensemble of MKAST and an EMA strategy, especially modified for crypto markets.
Here, as by default, we have the EMAs at 21, 90 and 200. These have shown to be very significant moving support and resistance points in the crypto market.
In this picture above, I lowered the timeframe to show the highly significant levels of the Ichimoku . It has not the “usual values”. These here have been modified for the volatile crypto market and set as default.
An incredibly powerful tool for anyone who is ready to step up their trading game. It is a huge part of the MKAST back end and the strategy behind it.
MKAST Custom Alerts
1
MKAST without any doubt has Custom Alerts for all Signals that it is painting on the chart.
One can even choose to receive custom notifications for Take Profit points, Multiple Entry points and
the Stop Loss points.
The signals appear on the chart DURING the candle, not at the end of the candle. Therefore, the
alerts do this as well. These appear during the candle.
Here we can see all of the possible Alerts that can be chosen to be displayed. In total it is 14 different custom alerts, based on what the trader is looking for and how he is trading.
Personally, I have 10-15 coins that I trade the most and for these I have custom notifications, mostly though only the MKAST Buy/Sell and Stop Loss Signals.
To activate Alerts for MKAST,
1) Go to the “ALERT” icon on the top tool bar of your Tradingview.
2) Select “CONDITION” as “—MKAST—“
3) Then choose ONE condition from the list of conditions.
4) On “OPTIONS” you can set how many times it appears, I have “Once per Bar”.
4.1) If you want to make sure that the signal is truly there and not just a condition for a second during the candle, choose “ONCE PER BAR CLOSE”.
5) “Expiration Time” sets the time until the alert expires. PRO users have no expiration for alerts.
6) “Alert Actions” give you a row of choices what happens and how you want to be notified.
7) “Message” is the message that you receive inside the notification.

Full Range Trading Strategy with DCA - Crypto, Forex, Stocks
Introduction
This is a Pine 4 range trading strategy. It has a twin study with several alerts. The design intent is to produce a commercial grade signal generator that can be adapted to any symbol and interval. Ideally, the script is reliable enough to be the basis of an automated trading system web-hooked to a server with API access to crypto, forex and stock brokerages. The strategy can be run in three different modes: long, short and bidirectional.
As a range trading strategy, the behavior of the script is to buy on weakness and sell on strength. As such trade orders are placed in a counter direction to price pressure. What you will see on the chart is a short position on peaks and a long position on valleys. Just to be clear, the range as well as trends are merely illusions as the chart only receives prices. However, this script attempts to calculate pivot points from the price stream. Rising pivots are shorts and falling pivots are longs. I refer to pivots as a vertex in this script which adds structural components to the chart formation. When trading in “Ping Pong” mode long and short positions are intermingled continuously as long as there exists a detectable vertex. Unfortunately, this can work against your backtest profitability on long duration trends where prices continue in a single direction without pullback. I have designed various features in the script to compensate for this event. A well configured script should perform in a range bound market and minimize losses in a trend. I also have a trend following version of this script for those not interested in trading the range. Please be aware these are two types of traders. You should know who you are.
This script employs a DCA feature which enables users to experiment with loss recovery techniques. This is an advanced feature which can increase the order size on new trades in response to stopped out or winning streak trades. The script keeps track of debt incurred from losing trades. When the debt is recovered the order size returns to the base amount specified in the TV properties tab. The inputs for this feature include a limiter to prevent your account from depleting capital during runaway markets. This implementation of DCA does not use pyramid levels. Only the order size on subsequent new trades are affected. Pyramids on the other hand increase the size of open positions. If you are interested in seeing pyramids in action please see the trend version of this script which features both DCA and pyramids. While DCA is a popular feature in crypto trading, it can make you a “bag” holder if your not careful. In other markets, especially margin trading, you’ll need a well funded account and much trading experience to manage this feature safely.
Consecutive loss limit can be set to report a breach of the threshold value. Every stop hit beyond this limit will be reported on a version 4 label above the bar where the stop is hit. Use the location of the labels along with the summary report tally to improve the adaptability of system. Don’t simply fit the chart. A good trading system should adapt to ever changing market conditions. On the study version the consecutive loss limit can be used to halt live trading on the broker side (managed manually).
Design
This script uses twelve indicators on a single time frame. The original trading algorithms are a port from a much larger program on another trading platform. I’ve converted some of the statistical functions to use standard indicators available on TradingView. The setups make heavy use of the Hull Moving Average in conjunction with EMAs that form the Bill Williams Alligator as described in his book “New Trading Dimensions” Chapter 3. Lag between the Hull and the EMAs form the basis of the entry and exit points. The vertices are calculated using one of five featured indicators. Each indicator is actually a composite of calculations which produce a distinct mean. This mathematical distinction enables the script to be useful on various instruments which belong to entirely different markets. In other words, at least one of these indicators should be able generate pivots on an arbitrarily selected instrument. Try each one to find the best fit.
The entire script is around 1800 lines of Pine code which is the maximum incidental size given the TradingView limits: local scopes, run-time duration and compile time. I’ve been working on this script for nearly two years and have tested it on various instruments stocks, forex and crypto. It performs well on higher liquidity markets that have at least a year of historical data. Although the script can be implemented on any interval, it has been optimized for small time frames down to 5 minutes. The 10 minute BTC/USD produces around 500 trades in 2 ½ months. The 1 hour BTC/USD produces around 1300 trades in 1 ½ years. Originally, this script contained both range trading and trend following logic but had to be broken into separate scripts due to the aforementioned limitations.
Inputs to the script use cone centric measurements in effort to avoid exposing adjustments to the various internal indicators. The goal was to keep the inputs relevant to the actual trade entry and exit locations as opposed to a series of MA input values and the like. As a result the strategy exposes over 50 inputs grouped into long or short sections. Inputs are available for the usual minimum profit and stop-loss as well as safeguards, trade frequency, DCA, modes, presets, reports and lots of calibrations. The inputs are numerous, I’m aware. Unfortunately, at this time, TradingView does not offer any other method to get data in the script. The usual initialization files such as cnf, cfg, ini, json and xml files are currently unsupported.
Example configurations for various instruments along with a detailed PDF user manual is available.
Indicator Repainting And Anomalies
Indicator repainting is an industry wide problem which mainly occurs when you mix backtest data with real-time data. It doesn't matter which platform you use some form of this condition will manifest itself on your chart over time. The critical aspect being whether live trades on your broker’s account continue to match your TradingView study.
Tackling this repainting issue has been a major project goal of this script. Based on my experience with Pine, most of the problems stem from TradingView’s implementation of multiple interval access. Whereas most platform provide a separate bar series for each interval requested, the Pine language interleaves higher time frames with the primary chart interval. The problem is exacerbated by allowing a look-ahead parameter to the Security function. The goal of my repaint prevention is simply to ensure that my signal trading bias remains consistent between the strategy, study and broker. That being said this is what I’ve done address this issue in this script:
1. This script uses only 1 time frame. The chart interval.
2. Every entry and exit condition is evaluated on closed bars only.
3. No security functions are called to avoid a look-ahead possibility.
4. Every contributing factor specified in the TradingView wiki regarding this issue has been addressed.
5. I’ve run a 10 minute chart live for a week and compared it to the same chart periodically reloaded. The two charts were highly correlated with no instances of completely opposite real-time signals.
The study does indeed bring up the TV warning dialog. The only reason for this is because the script uses an EMA indicator which according to TradingView is due to “peculiarities of the algorithm”.
One issue that comes up when comparing the strategy with the study is that the strategy trades show on the chart one bar later than the study. This problem is due to the fact that “strategy.entry()” and “strategy_exit()” do not execute on the same bar called. The study, on the other hand, has no such limitation since there are no position routines.
Please be aware that the data source matters. Cryptocurrency has no central tick repository so each exchange supplies TradingView its feed. Even though it is the same symbol the quality of the data and subsequently the bars that are supplied to the chart varies with the exchange. This script will absolutely produce different results on different data feeds of the same symbol. Be sure to backtest this script on the same data you intend to receive alerts for. Any example settings I share with you will always have the exchange name used to generate the test results.
Usage
The following steps provide a very brief set of instructions that will get you started but will most certainly not produce the best backtest. A trading system that you are willing to risk your hard earned capital will require a well crafted configuration that involves time, expertise and clearly defined goals. As previously mentioned, I have several example configs that I use for my own trading that I can share with you along with a PDF which describes each input in detail. To get hands on experience in setting up your own symbol from scratch please follow the steps below.
The input dialog box contains over 50 inputs separated into five sections. Each section is identified as such with a makeshift separator input. There are three main areas that must to be configured: long side, short side and settings that apply to both. The rest of the inputs apply to DCA, reporting and calibrations. The following steps address these three main areas only. You will need to get your backtest in the black before moving on to the more advanced features.
Step 1. Setup the Base currency and order size in the properties tab.
Step 2. Select the calculation presets in the Instrument Type field.
Step 3. Select “No Trade” in the Trading Mode field.
Step 4. Select the Histogram indicator from Section 2. You will be experimenting with different ones so it doesn’t matter which one you try first.
Step 5. Turn on Show Markers in Section 2.
Step 6. Go to the chart and checkout where the markers show up. Blue is up and red is down. Long trades show up along the red markers and short trades on the blue.
Step 7. Make adjustments to “Base To Vertex” and “Vertex To Base” net change and roc in Section 3. Use these fields to move the markers to where you want trades to be.
Step 8. Try a different indicator from Section 2 and repeat Step 7 until you find the best match for this instrument on this interval. This step is complete when the Vertex settings and indicator combination produce the most favorable results.
Step 9. Go to Section 3 and enable “Apply Red Base To Base Margin”.
Step 10. Go to Section 4 and enable “Apply Blue Base To Base Margin”.
Step 11. Go to Section 2 and adjust “Minimum Base To Base Blue” and “Minimum Base To Base Red”. Observe the chart and note where the markers move relative to each other. Markers further apart will produce less trades but will reduce cutoffs in “Ping Pong” mode.
Step 12. Return to Section 3 and 4 and turn off “Base To Base Margin” which was enabled in steps 9 and 10.
Step 13. Turn off Show Markers in Section 2.
Step 14. Put in your Minimum Profit and Stop Loss in the first section. This is in pips or currency basis points (chart right side scale). Percentage is not currently supported. This is a fixed value minimum profit and stop loss. Also note that the profit is taken as a conditional exit on a market order not a fixed limit. The actual profit taken will almost always be greater than the amount specified. The stop loss, on the other hand, is indeed a hard number which is executed by the TradingView broker simulator when the threshold is breached. On the study version, the stop is executed at the close of the bar.
Step 15. Return to step 3 and select a Trading Mode (Long, Short, BiDir, Ping Pong). If you are planning to trade bidirectionally its best to configure long first then short. Combine them with “BiDir” or “Ping Pong” after setting up both sides of the trade individually. The difference between “BiDir” and “Ping Pong” is that “Ping Pong” uses position reversal and can cut off opposing trades less than the specified minimum profit. As a result “Ping Pong” mode produces the greatest number of trades.
Step 16. Take a look at the chart. Trades should be showing along the markers plotted earlier.
Step 17. Make adjustments to the Vertex fields in Section 2 until the TradingView performance report is showing a profit. This includes the “Minimum Base To Base” fields. If a profit cannot be achieved move on to Step 18.
Step 18. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Long Entry Net Change” and “Long Entry ROC” in Section 3.
Step 19. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Short Entry Net Change” and “Short Entry ROC” in Section 4.
Step 20. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Sparse Long Delta” in Section 3.
Step 21. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Chase Long Delta” in Section 3.
Step 22. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Long Adherence Delta” in Section 3. This field requires the “Adhere to Rising Trend” checkbox to be enabled.
Step 23. Try each checkbox in Section 3 and see if it improves the backtest profitability. The “Caution Lackluster Longs” checkbox only works when “Long Caution Mode” is enabled.
Step 24. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Sparse Short Delta” in Section 4.
Step 25. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Chase Short Delta” in Section 4.
Step 26. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Short Adherence Delta” in Section 4. This field requires the “Adhere to Falling Trend” checkbox to be enabled.
Step 27. Try each checkbox in Section 4 and see if it improves the backtest profitability. The “Caution Lackluster Shorts” checkbox only works when “Short Caution Mode” is enabled.
Step 28. Enable the reporting conditions in Section 5. Look for long runs of consecutive losses or high debt sequences. These are indications that your trading system cannot withstand sudden changes in market sentiment.
Step 29. Examine the chart and see that trades are being placed in accordance with your desired trading goals. This is an important step. If your desired model requires multiple trades per day then you should be seeing hundreds of trades on the chart. Alternatively, you may be looking to trade fewer steep peaks and deep valleys in which case you should see trades at major turning points. Don’t simply settle for what the backtest serves you. Work your configuration until the system aligns with your desired model. Try changing indicators and even intervals if you cannot reach your simulation goals. Generally speaking, the histogram and Candle indicators produce the most trades. The Macro indicator captures the tallest peaks and valleys.
Step 30. Apply the backtest settings to the study version and perform forward testing.
This script is open for beta testing. After successful beta test it will become a commercial application available by subscription only. I’ve invested quite a lot of time and effort into making this the best possible signal generator for all of the instruments I intend to trade. I certainly welcome any suggestions for improvements. Thank you all in advance.
Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI)Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI) - Where Physics Meets Finance
The Quantum Revolution in Market Analysis
After months of research into quantum mechanics and its applications to financial markets, I'm thrilled to present the Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI) - a groundbreaking approach that models price action through the lens of quantum physics. This isn't just another technical indicator; it's a paradigm shift in how we understand market behavior.
The Theoretical Foundation
Quantum Superposition in Markets
In quantum mechanics, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed. Similarly, markets exist in a superposition of potential states (bullish, bearish, neutral) until a significant volume event "collapses" the wave function into a definitive direction.
The mathematical framework:
Wave Function (Ψ): Represents the market's quantum state as a weighted sum of all possible states:
Ψ = Σ(αᵢ × Sᵢ)
Where αᵢ are probability amplitudes and Sᵢ are individual quantum states.
Probability Amplitudes: Calculated using the Born rule, normalized so Σ|αᵢ|² = 1
Observation Operator: Volume/Average Volume ratio determines observation strength
The Five Quantum States
Momentum State: Short-term price velocity (EMA of returns)
Mean Reversion State: Deviation from equilibrium (normalized z-score)
Volatility Expansion State: ATR relative to historical average
Trend Continuation State: Long-term price positioning
Chaos State: Volatility of volatility (market uncertainty)
Each state contributes to the overall wave function based on current market conditions.
Wave Function Collapse
When volume exceeds the observation threshold (default 1.5x average), the wave function "collapses," committing the market to a direction. This models how institutional volume forces markets out of uncertainty into trending states.
Collapse Detection Formula:
Collapse = Volume > (Threshold × Average Volume)
Direction = Sign(Ψ) at collapse moment
Advanced Quantum Concepts
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
The indicator calculates market uncertainty as the product of price and momentum
uncertainties:
ΔP × ΔM = ℏ (market uncertainty constant)
This manifests as dynamic uncertainty bands that widen during unstable periods.
Quantum Tunneling
Calculates the probability of price "tunneling" through resistance/support barriers:
P(tunnel) = e^(-2×|barrier_height|×√coherence_length)
Unlike classical technical analysis, this gives probability of breakouts before they occur.
Entanglement
Measures the quantum correlation between price and volume:
Entanglement = |Correlation(Price, Volume, lookback)|
High entanglement suggests coordinated institutional activity.
Decoherence
When market states lose quantum properties and behave classically:
Decoherence = 1 - Σ(amplitude²)
Indicates trend emergence from quantum uncertainty.
Visual Innovation
Probability Clouds
Three-tier probability distributions visualize market uncertainty:
Inner Cloud (68%): One standard deviation - most likely price range
Middle Cloud (95%): Two standard deviations - probable extremes
Outer Cloud (99.7%): Three standard deviations - tail risk zones
Cloud width directly represents market uncertainty - wider clouds signal higher entropy states.
Quantum State Visualization
Colored dots represent individual quantum states:
Green: Momentum state strength
Red: Mean reversion state strength
Yellow: Volatility state strength
Dot brightness indicates amplitude (influence) of each state.
Collapse Events
Aqua Diamonds (Above): Bullish collapse - upward commitment
Pink Diamonds (Below): Bearish collapse - downward commitment
These mark precise moments when markets exit superposition.
Implementation Details
Core Calculations
Feature Extraction: Normalize price returns, volume ratios, and volatility measures
State Calculation: Compute each quantum state's value
Amplitude Assignment: Weight states by market conditions and observation strength
Wave Function: Sum weighted states for final market quantum state
Visualization: Transform quantum values to price space for display
Performance Optimization
- Efficient array operations for state calculations
- Single-pass normalization algorithms
- Optimized correlation calculations for entanglement
- Smart label management to prevent visual clutter
Trading Applications:
Signal Generation
Bullish Signals:

Risk Management
Uncertainty-Based Position Sizing:
Narrow clouds: Normal position size
Wide clouds: Reduced position size
Extreme uncertainty: Stay flat
Quantum Stop Losses:
- Place stops outside probability clouds
- Adjust for Heisenberg uncertainty
- Respect quantum tunneling levels
Market Regime Recognition
Quantum Coherent (Superposed):
- Market in multiple states
- Avoid directional trades
- Prepare for collapse
Quantum Decoherent (Classical):
-Clear trend emergence
- Follow directional signals
- Traditional analysis applies
Advanced Features
Adaptive Dashboards
Quantum State Panel: Real-time wave function, dominant state, and coherence status
Performance Metrics: Win rate, signal frequency, and regime analysis
Information Guide: Comprehensive explanation of all quantum concepts
- All dashboards feature adjustable sizing for different screen resolutions.
Multi-Timeframe Quantum Analysis
The indicator adapts to any timeframe:
Scalping (1-5m): Short coherence length, sensitive thresholds
Day Trading (15m-1H): Balanced parameters
Swing Trading (4H-1D): Long coherence, stable states
Alert System
Sophisticated alerts for:
- Wave function collapse events
- Decoherence transitions
- High tunneling probability
- Strong entanglement detection
Originality & Innovation
This indicator introduces several firsts:
Quantum Superposition: First to model markets as quantum systems
Wave Function Collapse: Original volume-triggered state commitment
Tunneling Probability: Novel breakout prediction method
Entanglement Metrics: Unique price-volume quantum correlation
Probability Clouds: Revolutionary uncertainty visualization
Development Journey
Creating QSSI required:
- Deep study of quantum mechanics principles
- Translation of physics equations to market context
- Extensive backtesting across multiple markets
- UI/UX optimization for trader accessibility
- Performance optimization for real-time calculation
- The result bridges cutting-edge physics with practical trading.
Best Practices
Parameter Optimization
Quantum States (2-5):
- 2-3 for simple markets (forex majors)
- 4-5 for complex markets (indices, crypto)
Coherence Length (10-50):
- Lower for fast markets
- Higher for stable markets
Observation Threshold (1.0-3.0):
- Lower for active markets
- Higher for thin markets
Signal Confirmation
Always confirm quantum signals with:
- Market structure (support/resistance)
- Volume patterns
- Correlated assets
- Fundamental context
Risk Guidelines
- Never risk more than 2% per trade
- Respect probability cloud boundaries
- Exit on decoherence shifts
- Scale with confidence levels
Educational Value
QSSI teaches advanced concepts:
- Quantum mechanics applications
- Probability theory
- Non-linear dynamics
- Risk management
- Market microstructure
Perfect for traders seeking deeper market understanding.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and research purposes only. While quantum mechanics provides a fascinating framework for market analysis, no indicator can predict future prices with certainty. The probabilistic nature of both quantum mechanics and markets means outcomes are inherently uncertain.
Always use proper risk management, conduct thorough analysis, and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Conclusion
The Quantum State Superposition Indicator represents a revolutionary approach to market analysis, bringing institutional-grade quantum modeling to retail traders. By viewing markets through the lens of quantum mechanics, we gain unique insights into uncertainty, probability, and state transitions that classical indicators miss.
Whether you're a physicist interested in finance or a trader seeking cutting-edge tools, QSSI opens new dimensions in market analysis.
"The market, like Schrödinger's cat, exists in multiple states until observed through volume."
* As you may have noticed, the past two indicators I've released (Lorentzian Classification and Quantum State Superposition) are designed with strategy implementation in mind. I'm currently developing a stable execution platform that's completely unique and moves away from traditional ATR-based position sizing and stop loss systems. I've found ATR-based approaches to be unreliable in volatile markets and regime transitions - they often lag behind actual market conditions and can lead to premature exits or oversized positions during volatility spikes.
The goal is to create something that adapts to market conditions in real-time using the quantum and relativistic principles we've been exploring. Hopefully I'll have something groundbreaking to share soon. Stay tuned!
Trade with quantum insight. Trade with QSSI .

Multi-Factor Reversal AnalyzerMulti-Factor Reversal Analyzer – Quantitative Reversal Signal System
OVERVIEW
Multi-Factor Reversal Analyzer is a comprehensive technical analysis toolkit designed to detect market tops and bottoms with high precision. It combines trend momentum analysis, price action behavior, wave oscillation structure, and volatility breakout potential into one unified indicator.
This indicator is not a random mix of tools — each module is carefully selected for a specific purpose. When combined, they form a multi-dimensional view of the market, merging trend analysis, momentum divergence, and volatility compression to produce high-confidence signals.
Why Combine These Modules?
Module Combination Ideas & How to Use Them
Factor A: Trend Detector + Gold Zone
Concept:
• The Trend Detector (light yellow histogram) evaluates market strength:
• Histogram trending downward or staying below 50 → bearish conditions;
• Trending upward or staying above 50 → bullish conditions.
• The Gold Zone identifies areas of volatility compression — typically a prelude to explosive market moves.
Practical Application:
• When the Gold Zone appears and the Trend Detector is bearish → likely downside move;
• When the Gold Zone appears and the Trend Detector is bullish → likely upside breakout.
• Note: The Gold Zone does not mean the bottom is in. It is not a buy signal on its own — always combine it with other modules for directional bias.
Factor B: PAI + Wave Trend
Concept:
• PAI (Price Action Index) is a custom oscillator that combines price momentum with volatility dispersion, displaying strength zones:
• Green area → bullish dominance;
• Red area → bearish pressure.
• Wave Trend offers smoothed crossover signals via the main and signal lines.
Practical Application:
• When PAI is in the green zone and Wave Trend makes a bullish crossover → potential reversal to the upside;
• When PAI is in the red zone and Wave Trend shows a bearish crossover → potential start of a downtrend.
Factor C: Trend Detector + PAI
Concept:
• Combines directional trend strength with price action strength to confirm setups via confluence.
Practical Application:
• Trend Detector histogram bottoms out + PAI enters the green zone → high chance of upward reversal;
• Histogram tops out + PAI in the red zone → increased likelihood of downside continuation.
Multi-Factor Confluence (Advanced Use)
• When Trend Detector, PAI, and Wave Trend all align in the same direction (bullish or bearish), the directional signal becomes significantly more reliable.
• This setup is especially useful for trend-following or swing trade entries.
KEY FEATURES
1. Multi-Layer Reversal Logic
• Combines trend scoring, oscillator divergence, and volatility squeezes for triangulated reversal detection.
• Helps traders distinguish between trend pullbacks and true reversals.
2. Advanced Divergence Detection
• Detects both regular and hidden divergences using pivot-based confirmation logic.
• Customizable lookback ranges and pivot sensitivity provide flexible tuning for different market styles.
3. Gold Zone Volatility Compression
• Highlights pre-breakout zones using custom oscillation models (RSI, harmonic, Karobein, etc.).
• Improves anticipation of breakout opportunities following low-volatility compressions.
4. Trend Direction Context
• PAI and Trend Score components provide top-down insight into prevailing bias.
• Built-in “Straddle Area” highlights consolidation zones; breakouts from this area often signal new trend phases.
5. Flexible Visualization
• Color-coded trend bars, reversal markers, normalized oscillator plots, and trend strength labels.
• Designed for both visual discretionary traders and data-driven system developers.
USAGE GUIDELINES
1. Applicable Markets
• Suitable for stocks, crypto, futures, and forex
• Supports reversal, mean-reversion, and breakout trading styles
2. Recommended Timeframes
• Short-term traders: 5m / 15m / 1H — use Wave Trend divergence + Gold Zone
• Swing traders: 4H / Daily — rely on Price Action Index and Trend Detector
• Macro trend context: use PAI HTF mode for higher timeframe overlays
3. Reversal Strategy Flow
• Watch for divergence (WT/PAI) + Gold Zone compression
• Confirm with Trend Score weakening or flipping
• Use Straddle Area breakout for final trigger
• Optional: enable bar coloring or labels for visual reinforcement
• The indicator performs optimally when used in conjunction with a harmonic pattern recognition tool
4. Additional Note on the Gold Zone
The “Gold Zone” does not directly indicate a market bottom. Since it is displayed at the bottom of the chart, it may be misunderstood as a bullish signal. In reality, the Gold Zone represents a compression of price momentum and volatility, suggesting that a significant directional move is about to occur. The direction of that move—upward or downward—should be determined by analyzing the histogram:
• If histogram momentum is weakening, the Gold Zone may precede a downward move.
• If histogram momentum is strengthening, it may signal an upcoming rebound or rally.
Treat the Gold Zone as a warning of impending volatility, and always combine it with trend indicators for accurate directional judgment.
RISK DISCLAIMER
• This indicator calculates trend direction based on historical data and cannot guarantee future market performance. When using this indicator for trading, always combine it with other technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and personal trading experience for comprehensive decision-making.
• Market conditions are uncertain, and trend signals may result in false positives or lag. Traders should avoid over-reliance on indicator signals and implement stop-loss strategies and risk management techniques to reduce potential losses.
• Leverage trading carries high risks and may result in rapid capital loss. If using this indicator in leveraged markets (such as futures, forex, or cryptocurrency derivatives), exercise caution, manage risks properly, and set reasonable stop-loss/take-profit levels to protect funds.
• All trading decisions are the sole responsibility of the trader. The developer is not liable for any trading losses. This indicator is for technical analysis reference only and does not constitute investment advice.
• Before live trading, it is recommended to use a demo account for testing to fully understand how to use the indicator and apply proper risk management strategies.
CHANGELOG

Head & Shoulders Pattern (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Head & Shoulders Pattern (Zeiierman) is an advanced pattern recognition tool that automatically detects and visualizes one of the most powerful reversal patterns in technical analysis — the classic Head & Shoulders and Inverse Head & Shoulders formations .
This indicator brings structure clarity directly onto the price chart, allowing traders to instantly spot potential major reversal zones without manually drawing or searching for patterns.
It doesn't just draw lines — it intelligently scans price action for symmetry, pivot behavior, and neckline structures — then projects realistic price targets based on the pattern's height.
⚪ In simple terms:
▸ Standard Head & Shoulders → Bearish Reversal Pattern
▸ Inverse Head & Shoulders → Bullish Reversal Pattern
▸ Target Projection → Estimated Move from Neckline Break
▸ Labels → Clear annotation of Left Shoulder, Head, and Right Shoulder
█ How It Works
The indicator combines multiple technical detection layers into a clean visual model:
⚪ Dynamic Pivot Engine
Automatically detects pivot highs and lows based on user-defined Period.
Longer Period = Broader, higher-confidence patterns
Shorter Period = Smaller, more frequent patterns
⚪ Pattern Detection Logic
Scans pivot structures in real-time to identify valid:
Bearish Head & Shoulders (H&S)
Bullish Inverse Head & Shoulders (iH&S)
Conditions include:
▸ Symmetry validation
▸ Head above (or below) Shoulders
▸ Neckline structure
▸ Minimum price conditions met
█ How to Use
⚪ Reversal Trading
Look for Head & Shoulders at the top of an uptrend
Look for Inverse Head & Shoulders at the bottom of a downtrend
⚪ What makes our tool truly unique is that it goes beyond the traditional textbook definition.
Our custom Head & Shoulders algorithm is built with flexibility and adaptability in mind. It dynamically responds to real-time price action, allowing it to detect valid patterns not only at major trend reversals — but also within trending environments.
That means you can spot Head & Shoulders formations at:
Consolidation zones
Trend continuation areas
Corrective phases within established trends
It doesn’t have to be the absolute top or bottom of a move — and that’s the real power of this tool. It adapts. It evolves. It finds structure where most indicators stay blind.
█ Common Real-World Stop Loss Strategies with Head & Shoulders Patterns
Not all Head & Shoulders patterns are created equal — and neither are the stop loss strategies used to trade them.
Depending on your trading style, risk tolerance, and market context — here are the 3 most common ways traders manage stop placement when trading Head & Shoulders (H&S) or Inverse Head & Shoulders (iH&S) patterns:
⚪ Conservative Stop Placement
Maximum Safety — Minimum Chance of Being Stopped Prematurely
Stop Placement:
Above the Head (Bearish H&S)
Below the Head (Bullish iH&S)
Pros: Safest approach. Provides maximum protection against false breakouts and noise.
Cons: Often results in very large stop losses, especially on bigger patterns or higher timeframes. Risk-to-Reward (RR) can be poor unless the target is far.
⚪ Aggressive Stop Placement
Tighter Risk — Faster Invalidations
Stop Placement:
Above the Right Shoulder (Bearish H&S)
Below the Right Shoulder (Bullish iH&S)
Pros: Smaller stop losses. Improved RR. Ideal for traders who want tighter control over risk.
Cons: Higher chance of getting stopped on retests or minor volatility around the neckline zone.
⚪ Neckline Reclaim Invalidation
Dynamic & Price-Action Based Exit
Stop Placement:
Exit the trade if price closes back above (bearish) or below (bullish) the neckline after breaking it.
Pros: Dynamic approach based on market behavior rather than static levels. Allows more flexibility.
Cons: Requires active trade management. Not suitable for fully automated or set-and-forget trading styles.
█ Why It's Useful
This is not a basic pattern drawing tool — it's a complete detection system built for traders who want to:
Automatically detect powerful reversal patterns
Avoid the subjectivity of manually drawing H&S structures
Trade with clear target projections
Identify high-probability reversal zones
Visually map structure shifts in real-time

Rachas ATR AssistHey Traders!
This indicator is a simple, it uses Average True Range (ATR) data from the daily chart and the current timeframe to estimate potential range and volatility.
This indicator compares the daily ATR to the current daily wick range (from low to high), helping you gauge how much "room" might be left for price movement within the day. Alongside that, it shows the ATR over the last 14 candles and 5 candles on your current chart for intraday volatility awareness—ideal for setting stops, targets, or position sizing.
Gauge Daily Potential Movement:
The "Day Range Difference" cell shows how much of the expected daily range (based on ATR) is still unfilled. If the market has moved less than the average, there's still potential for expansion. If it's close to or above the ATR, expect a slowdown or reversal.
Position Sizing & Stop Losses:
Use the 14-period ATR and 5-period ATR on your current timeframe to understand recent volatility. This helps in choosing logical stop loss levels and adjusting position sizes based on market conditions.
Volatility Awareness:
Knowing the average daily range and how much of it has been used lets you avoid entering trades too late in the move or placing stops in overly tight spots.

Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.
Supertrend ProSupertrend Pro - Multi-Trend Analysis and Trading Signal Filtering
OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates trend direction based on the Supertrend indicator and integrates dual-trend analysis, upper and lower trend bands, trading signal alerts, moving average filtering, and the EMA 200 bull-bear division line to provide traders with more precise trend identification and trading signals.
It is suitable for trend trading, short-term trading, and swing trading, effectively filtering market noise and improving trade accuracy.
IMPLEMENTATION PRINCIPLES
1. Primary Trend: Uses the Supertrend indicator to calculate major trend direction, suitable for long-term trend assessment.
2. Secondary Trend: Detects short-term trend changes, capturing finer market movements.
3. Upper and Lower Trend Bands: Utilizes ATR (Average True Range) to calculate dynamic trend channels, assisting in trend strength assessment.
4. Trading Signal Alerts: Provides buy/sell signals when trends reverse, with optional moving average filtering to reduce false signals.
5. Moving Average Filtering: Supports multiple MA types, such as EMA, SMA, HMA, McGinley, helping to filter market noise.
6. EMA 200 Bull-Bear Division Line: Combines ATR-based trend buffer zones to distinguish between long-term bull and bear markets, enhancing trend accuracy.
KEY FEATURES
1. Dual-Trend Analysis
• Primary trend is suitable for long-term trend tracking, reducing interference from short-term fluctuations.
• Secondary trend is ideal for short-term trading opportunities, allowing faster identification of market turning points.
• By combining both, traders can follow the major trend direction while using the secondary trend for optimized entry points, improving trade success rates.
2. Upper and Lower Trend Bands
• ATR-based dynamic bands adjust to market volatility, avoiding the limitations of fixed support and resistance levels.
• Trend confirmation: When the price reaches the upper or lower band, traders can determine whether the market is overheated or oversold, aiding trading decisions.
• Combining primary and secondary trend bands provides clearer trend validation, reducing false signals.
3. Trading Signal Alerts
• Automatic buy/sell signal alerts when the trend reverses, eliminating the need for manual trend assessment.
• Moving average filtering improves signal reliability, reducing false signals.
• Supports various signal markers (circles/arrows/labels) to help traders clearly visualize entry points.
4. Moving Average Filtering
• Supports multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, HMA, WMA, McGinley, etc.), adapting to different trading styles.
• Prevents counter-trend trading:
· Long entries only when the price is above the MA filter.
· Short entries only when the price is below the MA filter.
• Customizable MA periods to suit different market conditions and prevent excessive signal noise.
5. Trading Reference Lines
• Short-term trend: HMA 25 serves as an entry reference line. Waiting for MA color changes before placing trades can improve stability.
• Long-term trend: EMA 200 as the bull-bear division line helps traders distinguish between long-term bullish and bearish trends, avoiding counter-trend trades.
• Dynamic buffer adjustment: Uses ATR-based volatility buffers to reduce false signals and enhance trend detection accuracy.
• Color-coded trend identification:
· Aqua (Bull Market): Price is above the buffer zone.
· Fuchsia (Bear Market): Price is below the buffer zone.
· White: Price is within the buffer zone, indicating an unclear market direction.
USAGE GUIDELINES
1. Applicable Markets
• Suitable for stocks, futures, cryptocurrencies, and forex
• Supports short-term trading, trend trading, and swing trading
2. Recommended Timeframes
• Short-term traders can use 5m, 15m, and 1H timeframes, leveraging secondary trend signals for quick market entries.
• Trend traders can use 4H and daily timeframes, relying on primary trend signals to assess major trends.
• Long-term investors can use the EMA 200 bull-bear division line to determine macro trend direction and avoid counter-trend trades.
3. Trading Strategy
• Long Entry:
The primary trend is bullish (Green).
The secondary trend triggers a buy signal (Long).
• Short Entry:
· The primary trend is bearish (Red).
· The secondary trend triggers a sell signal (Short).
• Enable Moving Average Filtering:
· Only enter long trades when the price is above the MA filter.
· Only enter short trades when the price is below the MA filter.
• Use EMA 200 for Market Direction:
· If the price is above EMA 200 + buffer, the market is in a bullish trend → favor long trades.
· If the price is below EMA 200 - buffer, the market is in a bearish trend → favor short trades.
• Market Volatility Considerations:
· Short timeframes (1m, 5m) may produce more noise, reducing signal reliability.
· Higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) provide more stable trend signals but may miss some short-term trade opportunities.

━ First Steps:
When opening, select any point on the chart. It will not affect anything until you turn on Manual Start mode (more on this below).
The chart will immediately show the best results of the default Auto mode. You can switch Part's to try to find even better results in the table.
Now you can display any result from the table on the chart by entering its ID in the settings.
Repeat steps 3-4 until you determine which type of Stop Loss you like best. Then set it in the settings instead of Auto mode.
* Example: I flipped through 14 parts before I liked the first result and entered its ID so I could visually evaluate it on the chart.
Then select the stop loss type, choose it in place of Auto mode and repeat steps 3-4 or immediately follow the recommendations of the algorithm.
Now the Genetic Algorithm at the bottom right will prompt you to enter the Parameters you need to search for and select even better results.
Parameters must be entered All at once before they are updated. Enter recommendations strictly in fields with the same names.
Repeat steps 5-6 until there are approximately 10 Part's left or as you like. And after that, easily pour through the remaining Parts and select the best parameters.
━ Example of the finished result.
━ Example of use with Takes
You can also test at the same time along with Take Profit. In this example, I simply enabled Risk/Reward mode and immediately specified in the TP field Maximum RR, Minimum RR and Step. So in this example I can test (3-1) / 0.1 = 20 Takes of different sizes. There are additional tips in the settings.

⭕️ How it Works
Hypothesis of Uniform Distribution of Rare Elements After Mixing.
'This hypothesis states that if an array of N elements contains K valid elements, then after mixing, these valid elements will be approximately uniformly distributed.'
'This means that in a random sample of k elements, the proportion of valid elements should closely match their proportion in the original array, with some random variation.'
'According to the central limit theorem, repeated sampling will result in an average count of valid elements following a normal distribution.'
'This supports the assumption that the valid elements are evenly spread across the array.'
'To test this hypothesis, we can conduct an experiment:'
'Create an array of 1,000,000 elements.'
'Select 1,000 random elements (1%) for validation.'
'Shuffle the array and divide it into groups of 1,000 elements.'
'If the hypothesis holds, each group should contain, on average, 1~ valid element, with minor variations.'
* I'd like to attach more details to My hypothesis but it won't be very relevant here. Since this is a whole separate topic, I will leave the minimum part for understanding the engine.
Practical Application
To apply this hypothesis, I needed a way to generate and thoroughly mix numerous possible combinations. Within Pine, generating over 100,000 combinations presents significant challenges, and storing millions of combinations requires excessive resources.
I developed an efficient mechanism that generates combinations in random order to address these limitations. While conventional methods often produce duplicates or require generating a complete list first, my approach guarantees that the first 10% of possible combinations are both unique and well-distributed. Based on my hypothesis, this sampling is sufficient to determine optimal testing parameters.
Most generators and randomizers fail to accommodate both my hypothesis and Pine's constraints. My solution utilizes a simple Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) for pseudo-randomization, enhanced with prime numbers to increase entropy during generation. I pre-generate the entire parameter range and then apply systematic mixing. This approach, combined with a hybrid combinatorial array-filling technique with linear distribution, delivers excellent generation quality.
My engine can efficiently generate and verify 300 unique combinations per batch. Based on the above, to determine optimal values, only 10-20 Parts need to be manually scrolled through to find the appropriate value or range, eliminating the need for exhaustive testing of millions of parameter combinations.
For the Score statistic I applied all the same, generated a range of Weights, distributed them randomly for each type of statistic to avoid manual distribution.
Score ━ based on Trade, Profit, WinRate, Profit Factor, Drawdown, Sharpe & Sortino & Omega & Calmar Ratio.
⭕️ Notes
For attentive users, a little tricks :)
To save time, switch parts every 3 seconds without waiting for it to load. After 10-20 parts, stop and wait for loading. If the pause is correct, you can switch between the rest of the parts without loading, as they will be cached. This used to work without having to wait for a pause, but now it does slower. This will save a lot of time if you are going to do a deeper backtest.
Sometimes you'll get the error “The scripts take too long to execute.”
For a quick fix you just need to switch the TF or Ticker back and forth and most likely everything will load.
The error appears because of problems on the side of the site because the engine is very heavy. It can also appear if you set too long a period for testing in BackWin or use a heavy indicator for testing.
Manual Start - Allow you to Start you Result from any point. Which in turn can help you choose a good stop-stick for your real position.
* It took me half a year from idea to current realization. This seems to be one of the few ways to build something automatic in backtest format and in this particular Pine environment. There are already better projects in other languages, and they are created much easier and faster because there are no limitations except for personal PC. If you see solutions to improve this system I would be glad if you share the code. At the moment I am tired and will continue him not soon.
Also You can use my previosly big Backtest project with more manual settings(updated soon)
Wick Size in USD with 10-Bar AverageWick Size in USD with 10-Bar Average
Version: 1.0
Author: QCodeTrader
🔍 Overview
This indicator converts the price wicks of your candlestick chart into USD values based on ticks, providing both raw and smoothed data via a 10-bar simple moving average. It helps traders visualize the monetary impact of price extremes, making it easier to assess volatility, potential risk, and plan appropriate stop loss levels.
⚙️ Key Features
Tick-Based Calculation:
Converts wick sizes into ticks (using a fixed tick size of 0.01, typical for stocks) and then into USD using a customizable tick value.
10-Bar Moving Average:
Smooths out the wick values over the last 10 bars, giving you a clearer view of average wick behavior.
Bullish/Bearish Visual Cues:
The chart background automatically highlights bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red for quick visual assessment.
Stop Loss Optimization:
The indicator highlights long wick sizes, which can help you set more accurate stop loss levels. Even when the price moves in your favor, long wicks may indicate potential reversals—allowing you to account for this risk when planning your stop losses.
User-Friendly Customization:
Easily adjust the USD value per tick through the settings to tailor the indicator to your specific instrument.
📊 How It Works
Wick Calculation:
The indicator calculates the upper and lower wicks by measuring the distance between the candle’s high/low and its body (open/close).
Conversion to Ticks & USD:
These wick sizes are first converted from price points to ticks (dividing by a fixed tick size of 0.01) and then multiplied by the user-defined tick value to convert the measurement into USD.
Smoothing Data:
A 10-bar simple moving average is computed for both the upper and lower wick values, providing smoothed data that helps identify trends and deviations.
Visual Representation:
Columns display the raw wick sizes in USD.
Lines indicate the 10-bar moving averages.
Background Color shifts between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on candle type.
⚡ How to Use
Add the Indicator:
Apply it to your chart to begin visualizing wick sizes in monetary terms.
Customize Settings:
Adjust the Tick Value in USD in the settings to match your instrument’s tick value.
(Note: The tick size is fixed at 0.01, which is standard for many stocks.)
Optimize Your Stop Loss:
Analyze the raw and averaged wick values to understand volatility. Long wicks—even when the price moves in your favor—may indicate potential reversals. This insight can help you set more accurate stop loss levels to protect your gains.
Analyze:
Use the indicator’s data to gauge market volatility and assess the significance of price movements, aiding in more informed trading decisions.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to understand the impact of extreme price movements in monetary terms, optimize stop loss levels, and effectively manage risk across stocks and other instruments with similar tick structures.
Supertrend pro+ (Adaptive ATR) Supertrend Pro+ (Adaptive ATR) - Param Approach
By SKP
Overview
This advanced Supertrend Pro+ strategy improves on the classic Supertrend indicator by integrating an Adaptive ATR, ensuring dynamic volatility adjustments for more accurate trend detection. This strategy filters out false signals using ADX trend strength validation and volume confirmation, making it a powerful tool for trend-following traders.
Key Features
✔ Adaptive ATR Calculation - Dynamically adjusts to market volatility for more reliable Supertrend signals.
✔ ADX Trend Filter - Ensures trades occur only in strong trending markets, avoiding false breakouts.
✔ Volume Confirmation - Prevents trading in low-liquidity conditions by verifying volume strength.
✔ Multi-Timeframe Analysis - Displays Supertrend trends from different timeframes for enhanced trade confidence.

✔ Custom Alerts for Trade Signals - Alerts trigger on confirmed Supertrend buy/sell signals and potential trend shifts.
✔ Max Drawdown Protection - Automatically closes trades if equity drops beyond a set percentage, preventing excessive losses.
How It Works
Adaptive ATR Calculation
Instead of using a fixed ATR, this strategy calculates an adaptive ATR based on a longer-term ATR baseline.
If volatility increases, the ATR expands dynamically, ensuring stop-losses and Supertrend calculations adjust accordingly.
Supertrend Confirmation
Uses an enhanced Supertrend algorithm with adaptive ATR to determine trend direction.
If price crosses above the trendline, it signals a bullish reversal (Buy Signal).
If price crosses below the trendline, it signals a bearish reversal (Sell Signal).
ADX Trend Strength Filter
Trades are only taken when ADX is above the threshold, ensuring entry in strong trending markets.
Volume Confirmation
Uses a relative volume filter to ensure sufficient liquidity before entering trades.
Helps avoid false breakouts in low-volume conditions.
Risk Management
Trailing Stop Loss - Automatically moves the stop as price moves in favor of the trade.
Manual Stop Loss & Take Profit - Allows precise percentage-based exit points.
Max Drawdown Protection - Closes all trades if equity falls below a set threshold, reducing risk.
Multi-Timeframe Supertrend Table
Displays Supertrend signals across different timeframes (1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 1 hour, Daily)
Helps traders align their entries with higher timeframe trends for better accuracy.
Custom Alerts
Alerts notify when a new buy/sell signal appears.
Extra early warning alerts indicate potential trade setups before confirmation.
How to Use
📌 For trend-following traders:
Focus on entries in the direction of the higher timeframes.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The first setting you will want to set it the pyramiding setting. This setting controls the number of simultaneous trades in the same direction allowed in the strategy. For example, if you set it to 1, only one trade can be active in any time, and the second trade will not be entered unless the first one is exited. If it is set to 2, the script will handle both of them at the same time. Note that you should enter the same value to this pyramiding setting, and the pyramiding setting in the "Properties" tab of the script for this to work.
You can enable and set a backtesting window that will limit the entries to between the start date & end date.
Then, you can enter your desired settings for Supply & Demand Zones. You can also enable and set up to 3 timeframes, which you can use later on when customizing your strategies enter / exit conditions.
Entry Conditions
From the "Long Conditions" or the "Short Conditions" groups, you can set your position entry conditions. For settings like "initial capital" or "order size", you can open the "Properties" tab, where these are handled.
The S&D Automation can use the following conditions for entry conditions :
1. Demand Zone
Detection: Triggered when a Demand Zone forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests a Demand Zone. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
2nd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Demand Zone for the second time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
3rd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Demand Zone for the third time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches a Demand Zone
Break: Triggered when a Demand Zone is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
2. Supply Zone
Detection: Triggered when a Supply Zone forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests a Supply Zone. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Supply Zone and closes outside of it.
2nd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Supply Zone for the second time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Supply Zone and closes outside of it.
3rd Retest: Triggered when price retests a Supply Zone for the third time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Supply Zone and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches a Supply Zone
Break: Triggered when a Supply Zone is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
3. Any Zone
Detection: Triggered when any Supply or Demand Zone forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests any Supply or Demand Zone. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters any Supply or Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
2nd Retest: Triggered when price retests any Supply or Demand Zone for the second time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters any Supply or Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
3rd Retest: Triggered when price retests any Supply or Demand Zone for the third time. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters any Supply or Demand Zone and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches any Supply or Demand Zone
Break: Triggered when any Supply or Demand Zone is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
🕒 TIMEFRAME CONDITIONS
The S&D Automation supports Multi-Timeframe (MTF) features, just like the Supply & Demand indicator. When setting an entry condition, you can also choose the timeframe.
To set up MTF conditions, navigate to the 'Timeframes' section in the settings, select your desired timeframes, and enable them. You can choose up to three timeframes.
Once you've selected your timeframes, you can use them in your strategy. When setting long and short entry/exit conditions, you can choose from Timeframe 1, Timeframe 2, or Timeframe 3.
External Conditions
Users can use external indicators on the chart to set entry conditions.
The second dropdown in the external condition settings allows you to choose a conditional operator to compare external outputs. Available options include:
Less Than or Equal To: <=
Less Than: <
Equal To: =
Greater Than: >
Greater Than or Equal To: >=
The position entry conditions work like this ;
Each side has 5 S&D Zone conditions and 1 Source condition. Each condition can be enabled or disabled using the checkbox on the left side of them.
The next selection is the alert type, which you can select between "Detection", "Retest", "Retracement" or "Break".
You can select which timeframe this condition should work on from Timeframe 1, 2, or 3. If you select "Any Timeframe", the condition will work for all timeframes.
Lastly select the step of this condition from 1 to 6.
The Source Condition
The last condition on each side is a source condition that is different from the others. Using this condition, you can create your own logic using other indicators' outputs on your chart. For example, suppose that you have an EMA indicator in your chart. You can have the source condition to something like "EMA > high".
The Step System
Each condition has a step number, and conditions are in topological order based on them.
The conditions are executed step by step. This means the condition with step 2 cannot be executed before the condition with step 1 is executed.
Conditions with the same step numbers have "OR" logic. This means that if you have 2 conditions with step 3, the condition with step 4 can trigger after only one of the step 3 conditions is executed.
➕ OTHER ENTRY FEATURES
The S&D Automation allows traders to choose when to execute trades and when not to execute trades.
1. Only Take Trades
This setting lets users specify the time period when their strategy can open or execute trades.
2. Don't Take Trades
This setting lets users specify time periods when their strategy can't open or execute trades.
↩️ EXIT CONDITIONS
1. Exit on Opposite Signal
When enabled, a long position will close when short entry conditions are met, and a short position will close when long entry conditions are met.
2. Exit on Session End
When enabled, positions will be closed at the end of the trading session.
📈 TAKE PROFIT CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting take profit exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition TP
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for take-profit exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed TP
Users can set a fixed TP for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a TP exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price TP to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $190, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $200 ($190 + $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a TP exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
📉 STOP LOSS CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting stop-loss exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition SL
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for stop-loss exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed SL
Users can set a fixed SL for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a SL exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price SL to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $200, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $190 ($200 - $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a SL exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
3. Trailing Stop
An explanation & example for the trailing stop feature is present on the write-up within the next section.
Exit conditions have the same logic of constructing conditions like the entry ones. You can construct a Take-Profit Condition & a Stop-Loss Condition. Note that the Take-Profit condition will only work if the position is in profit, regardless of if it's triggered or not. The same applies for the Stop-Loss condition, meaning that it will only work if the position is in loss.
You can also set a Fixed TP & Fixed SL based on the price movement after the position is entered. You have options like "Price", "Ticks", "%", or "Average True Range". For example, you can set a Fixed TP like "5%", and the position will be entered once it moves 5% up in a long position.
Trailing Stop
For the Fixed SL, you also have a "Trailing" stop option, for which you can set its activation level as well. The Trailing stop activation level and its value are expressed in ticks. Check this scenario for an example :
We have a ticker with a tick value of $1. Our Trailing Stop is set to 10 ticks, and the activation level is set to 30 ticks.
We buy 1 contract when the price is $100.
When the price becomes $110, we are in $10 (10 ticks) profit and the trailing stop is now activated.
The current price our stop's on is $110 - $30 (30 ticks), which is the level of $80.
The trailing stop will only move if the price moves up the highest high the price has been after we entered the position.
Let's suppose that price moves up $40 right after our trailing stop is activated. The price will now be $150, and our trailing stop will sit on $150 - $30 (30 ticks) = $120.
If the price is down the $120 level, our stop loss will be triggered.
There is also a "Hard SL" option designed for a backup stop-loss when trailing stops are enabled. You can enable & set this option and if the price goes down before our trailing stop even activates, the position will be exited.
You can also move stop-loss to the break-even (entry price of the position) after a certain profit is achieved using the last setting of the exit conditions. Note that for this to work, you must have a Fixed SL set-up.
➕ OTHER EXIT FEATURES
1. Move Stop Loss to Breakeven
This setting allows the strategy to automatically move the SL to Breakeven (BE) when the position is in profit by a certain amount. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method moves the SL to BE when price reaches a specified level.
Ticks: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Example Entry Scenario
To give an example , check this scenario; out conditions are :
LONG CONDITIONS
Demand Zone Detection, Step 1
Supply Zone Retest, Step 2
Demand Zone Break, Step 2
open > close, Step 3
First, the strategy needs to detect a Demand Zone Detection in order to start working.
After it's detected, now it's looking for either a Supply Zone Retest, or a Demand Zone Break to proceed to the next step, the reason for this is that they both have the same step number.
After one of them is detected, the strategy will consistently check candlesticks for the condition open > close. If a bullish candlestick occurs, a long position will be entered.
⏰ ALERTS
This indicator uses TradingView's strategy alert system. All entries and exits will be sent as an alert if configured. It's possible to further customize these alerts to your liking. For more information check TradingView's strategy alert customization page : www.tradingview.com
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. Backtesting Settings
Pyramiding: Controls the number of simultaneous trades allowed in the strategy. This setting must have the same value that is entered on the script's properties tab on the settings pane.
Enable Custom Backtesting Period: Restricts backtesting to a specific date range.
Start & End Time Configuration: Define precise start and end dates for historical analysis.
2. General Configuration
Detection Method: There are two detection methods you can choose from for identifying Supply & Demand Zones. Both methods aim to identify key areas where price is likely to react, but they do so using different approaches. Traders can choose the method that aligns with their trading style and time horizon.
Sensitivity: The Sensitivity setting allows traders to adjust how aggressively the script identifies supply and demand zones when using the Momentum Detection Method. This setting directly impacts the threshold for detecting zones when using the momentum detection method.
Zone Invalidation: The Zone Invalidation setting determines how supply and demand zones are invalidated.
Wick -> A zone is invalidated if a candle’s wick goes below a demand zone or above a supply zone.
Close -> A zone is invalidated if a candle closes below a demand zone or above a supply zone.
Zone Visibility Range: The Zone Visibility Range setting controls how far from the current price supply and demand zones are displayed on the chart. It helps traders focus on relevant zones while avoiding clutter from distant or less impactful areas.
Minimum Zone Width: The Minimum Zone Width setting defines the smallest size a supply or demand zone must have to be displayed on the chart. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) as a reference to ensure zones are proportionate to current market volatility.
Minimum Zone Length: The Minimum Zone Length setting determines the minimum number of bars a supply or demand zone must span to be displayed on the chart. This setting helps filter out short-lived or insignificant zones, ensuring only meaningful areas of supply or demand are highlighted.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK?
The first setting you will want to set it the pyramiding setting. This setting controls the number of simultaneous trades in the same direction allowed in the strategy. For example, if you set it to 1, only one trade can be active in any time, and the second trade will not be entered unless the first one is exited. If it is set to 2, the script will handle both of them at the same time. Note that you should enter the same value to this pyramiding setting, and the pyramiding setting in the "Properties" tab of the script for this to work.
For deep backtesting, you can set "Max Distance To Last Bar" to "Unlimited". If you encounter any memory issues, try decreasing this setting to a lower value.
You can enable and set a backtesting window that will limit the entries to between the start date & end date.
Then, you can enter your desired settings to Price Action features like FVGs, IFVGs, Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, Liquidity Grabs, Market Structures, EQH & EQL and Volume Imbalances. You can also enable and set up to 3 timeframes, which you can use later on when customizing your strategies enter / exit conditions.
Entry Conditions
From the "Long Conditions" or the "Short Conditions" groups, you can set your position entry conditions. For settings like "initial capital" or "order size", you can open the "Properties" tab, where these are handled.
The PAT Automation can use the following conditions for entry conditions :
1. Order Block (OB)
Detection: Triggered when an Order Block forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests an Order Block. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters an Order Block and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches an Order Block
Break: Triggered when an Order Block is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
2. Breaker Block (BB)
Detection: Triggered when a Breaker Block forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests a Breaker Block. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Breaker Block and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches a Breaker Block
Break: Triggered when a Breaker Block is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Detection: Triggered when an FVG forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests an FVG. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters an FVG and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches an FVG
Break: Triggered when an FVG is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
4. Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
Detection: Triggered when an IFVG forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests an IFVG. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters an IFVG and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches an IFVG
Break: Triggered when an IFVG is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
5. Break of Structure (BOS)
Detection: Triggered when a BOS forms or is detected
6. Change of Character (CHoCH)
Detection: Triggered when a CHoCH forms or is detected
7. Change of Character Plus (CHoCH+)
Detection: Triggered when a CHoCH+ forms or is detected
8. Volume Imbalance (VI)
Detection: Triggered when a Volume Imbalance forms or is detected
9. Equal High (EQH)
Detection: Triggered when an EQH is detected
10. Equal Low (EQL)
Detection: Triggered when an EQL is detected
11. Buyside Liquidity Grab
Detection: Triggered when a liquidity grab occurs at Buyside Liquidity (BSL).
12. Sellside Liquidity Grab
Detection: Triggered when a liquidity grab occurs at Sellside Liquidity (SSL).
🕒 TIMEFRAME CONDITIONS
The PAT Automation supports Multi-Timeframe (MTF) features, just like the Price Action Toolkit. When setting an entry condition, you can also choose the timeframe.
To set up MTF conditions, navigate to the 'Timeframes' section in the settings, select your desired timeframes, and enable them. You can choose up to three timeframes.
Once you've selected your timeframes, you can use them in your strategy. When setting long and short entry / exit conditions, you can choose from Timeframe 1, Timeframe 2, or Timeframe 3.
External Conditions
Users can use external indicators on the chart to set entry conditions.
The second dropdown in the external condition settings allows you to choose a conditional operator to compare external outputs. Available options include:
Less Than or Equal To: <=
Less Than: <
Equal To: =
Greater Than: >
Greater Than or Equal To: >=
The position entry conditions work like this ;
Each side has 5 Price Action conditions and 1 Source condition. Each condition can be enabled or disabled using the checkbox on the left side.
For Price Action Conditions, you can set a direction: "Any", "Bullish" or "Bearish".
Then a Price Action Feature, like "FVG" or "Order Block".
The last part of our constructed condition is the alert type, which you can select between "Detection", "Retest", "Retracement" or "Break".
Now you should have a constructed condition, which should look like "Bullish Order Block Retest".
You can select which timeframe should this condition work on from Timeframe 1, 2 or 3. If you select "Any Timeframe", the condition will work for all timeframes.
Lastly select the step of this condition from 1 to 6.
The Source Condition
The last condition on each side is a source condition that is different from the others. Using this condition, you can create your own logic using other indicators' outputs on your chart. For example, suppose that you have an EMA indicator in your chart. You can have the source condition to something like "EMA > high".
The Step System
Each condition has a step number, and conditions are in topological order based on them.
The conditions are executed step by step. This means the condition with step 2 cannot be executed before the condition with step 1 is executed.
Conditions with the same step numbers have "OR" logic. This means that if you have 2 conditions with step 3, the condition with step 4 can trigger after only one of the step 3 conditions is executed.
➕ OTHER ENTRY FEATURES
The PAT Automation allows traders to choose when to execute trades and when not to execute trades.
1. Only Take Trades
This setting lets users specify the time period when their strategy can open or execute trades.
2. Don't Take Trades
This setting lets users specify time periods when their strategy can't open or execute trades.
↩️ EXIT CONDITIONS
1. Exit on Opposite Signal
When enabled, a long position will close when short entry conditions are met, and a short position will close when long entry conditions are met.
2. Exit on Session End
When enabled, positions will be closed at the end of the trading session.
📈 TAKE PROFIT CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting take profit exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition TP
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for take-profit exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed TP
Users can set a fixed TP for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a TP exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price TP to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $190, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $200 ($190 + $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a TP exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
📉 STOP LOSS CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting stop-loss exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition SL
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for stop-loss exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed SL
Users can set a fixed SL for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a SL exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price SL to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $200, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $190 ($200 - $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a SL exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
3. Trailing Stop
An explanation & example for the trailing stop feature is present on the write-up within the next section.
Exit conditions have the same logic of constructing conditions like the entry ones. You can construct a Take-Profit Condition & a Stop-Loss Condition. Note that the Take-Profit condition will only work if the position is in profit, regardless of if it's triggered or not. The same applies for the Stop-Loss condition, meaning that it will only work if the position is in loss.
You can also set a Fixed TP & Fixed SL based on the price movement after the position is entered. You have options like "Price", "Ticks", "%", or "Average True Range". For example, you can set a Fixed TP like "5%", and the position will be entered once it moves 5% up in a long position.
Trailing Stop
For the Fixed SL, you also have a "Trailing" stop option, which you can set it's activation level as well. The Trailing stop activation level and it's value are expressed in ticks. Check this scenerio for an example :
We have a ticker with a tick value of $1. Our Trailing Stop is set to 10 ticks and activation level is set to 30 ticks.
We buy 1 contract when the price is $100.
When the price becomes $110, we are in $10 (10 ticks) profit and the trailing stop is now activated.
The current price our stop's on is $110 - $30 (30 ticks), which is the level of $80.
The trailing stop will only move if the price moves up the highest high the price has been after we entered the position.
Let's suppose that price moves up $40 right after our trailing stop is activated. The price will now be $150, and our trailing stop will sit on $150 - $30 (30 ticks) = $120.
If the price is down the $120 level, our stop loss will be triggered.
There is also a "Hard SL" option designed for a backup stop-loss when trailing stops are enabled. You can enable & set this option and if the price goes down before our trailing stop even activates, the position will be exited.
You can also move stop-loss to the break-even (entry price of the position) after a certain profit is achieved using the last setting of the exit conditions. Note that for this to work, you will need to have a Fixed SL set-up.
➕ OTHER EXIT FEATURES
1. Move Stop Loss to Breakeven
This setting allows the strategy to automatically move the SL to Breakeven (BE) when the position is in profit by a certain amount. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method moves the SL to BE when price reaches a specified level.
Ticks: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Example Entry Scenario
To give an example , check this scenario; out conditions are :
LONG CONDITIONS
Bullish Order Block Detection, Step 1
Bullish CHoCH Detection, Step 2
Bullish Volume Imbalance Detection, Step 2
Bullish IFVG Retest, Step 3
First, the strategy needs to detect a Bullish Order Block in order to start working.
After it's detected, now it's looking for either a CHoCH, or a Volume Imbalance to proceed to the next step, the reason for this is that they both have the same step number.
After one of them is detected, the strategy will consistently check all IFVGs for a retest. If the retest occurs, a long position will be entered.

// Important Notes and Disclaimers:
// * **Backtesting Results:** Past performance is not indicative of future results. Backtesting results can be affected by various factors, including market volatility, slippage, and transaction costs.
// * **Risk Management:** This strategy is provided for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Always use proper risk management techniques when trading. Adjust Stop Loss and Take Profit levels according to your risk tolerance.
// * **Slippage:** The strategy takes into account slippage by specifying a slippage parameter on the `strategy` declaration. However, real-world slippage may vary.
// * **Market Conditions:** The performance of this strategy can vary significantly depending on market conditions. It may perform well in trending markets but poorly in ranging or choppy markets.
// * **Pip Value Accuracy:** **Ensure the `Pip Value` is correctly set for the specific instrument you are trading. Incorrect pip value will result in incorrect stop loss and take profit placement.** This is critical.
// * **Broker Compatibility:** The strategy's performance may vary depending on your broker's execution policies and fees.
// * **Disclaimer:** I am not a financial advisor, and this script is not financial advice. Use this strategy at your own risk. I am not responsible for any losses incurred while using this strategy.
Z PLUS table take profit & Stop lose ### General Description:
The **Z PLUS Take Profit & Stop Loss** indicator is designed to provide traders with a structured approach to setting take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels. It integrates multiple technical analysis techniques, including moving averages, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to generate signals for potential trade entries and exits.
Key features of this indicator include:
1. **Trend Detection** – Uses a moving average-based strategy combined with RSI confirmation to determine bullish or bearish trends. The system identifies trend reversals and signals potential long (buy) or short (sell) opportunities.
2. **ATR-Based Stop Loss** – Implements an adaptive stop-loss mechanism that adjusts dynamically based on market volatility. This ensures that stop losses are positioned in a way that minimizes premature exits while still protecting against excessive losses.
3. **Swing High & Swing Low Take Profit Levels** – Incorporates a swing high and swing low detection method to identify key levels for taking profits. These levels help traders optimize their risk-reward ratios.
4. **ADX for Trend Strength Confirmation** – Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) to determine the strength of the trend and adjust stop-loss levels accordingly. The indicator differentiates between strong and weak trends to enhance decision-making.
5. **Visual Signals & Color Coding** – Provides visual cues such as colored stop-loss lines and plotted take-profit markers to enhance usability. The indicator dynamically updates these levels based on price movements.
6. **Flexible Configuration** – Allows users to modify key parameters such as ATR length, sensitivity factors, and profit target percentages to tailor the strategy to their specific trading style and market conditions.
This indicator is best suited for traders looking to improve their risk management strategies while maintaining a structured approach to profit-taking and stop-loss placement.

Skeleton Key LiteSkeleton Key Lite Strategy
Note : Every input, except for the API Alerts, depends on an external indicator to provide the necessary values for the strategy to function.
Definitions
Strategy Direction: The trading direction (long or short) as determined by an external source, such as an indicator.
Threshold Conditions:
- Enter Condition: Defines the condition for entering a trade.
- Exit Condition: Defines the condition for exiting a trade.
Stop Loss (SL):
- Trail SL: A trailing stop loss, dynamically updated during the trade.
- Basic SL: A static stop loss level.
- Emergency SL (ER SL): A fallback stop loss for extreme conditions.
- Max SL: The maximum risk tolerance in stop loss.
- Limit SL: A predefined stop loss that is executed as a limit order.
Take Profit (TP):
- Max TP: The maximum profit target for a trade.
- Limit TP: A predefined take profit level executed as a limit order.
API Alerts:
- API Entry: JSON-based configuration for sending entry signals.
- API Exit: JSON-based configuration for sending exit signals.
Broad Concept
The Skeleton Key Lite strategy script is designed to provide a generalized framework for orchestrating trade execution based on external indicators. It allows QuantAlchemy and others to encapsulate strategies into indicators, which can then be backtested and automated using this strategy script.
Inputs
Note : All inputs are dependent on external indicators for values except for the API Alerts.
Strategy Direction:
- Source: Direction signal from an external indicator.
- Options: `LONG` (`1`), `SHORT` (`-1`).
Trade Conditions:
- Enter: Source input, trigger for entry condition.
- Exit: Source input, trigger for exit condition.
Stops and Take Profits:
- Trail SL: Enable/disable dynamic trailing stop loss.
- Basic SL: Enable/disable static stop loss.
- Emergency SL: Enable/disable emergency stop loss.
- Max SL: Enable/disable maximum risk stop loss.
- Max TP: Enable/disable maximum take profit.
- Limit SL: Enable/disable predefined stop loss executed as a limit order.
- Limit TP: Enable/disable predefined take profit executed as a limit order.
Alerts:
- API Entry: Configurable JSON message for entry signals.
- API Exit: Configurable JSON message for exit signals.
How It Works
Trade Logic:
- Conditions for entering and exiting trades are evaluated based on the selected input sources.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Management:
- Multiple stop loss types (trailing, basic, emergency, etc.) and take profit levels are calculated dynamically during the trade entry. Trailing stop loss is updated during the trade based on the selected input.
API Alerts:
- Alerts are triggered using customizable JSON messages, which can be integrated with external trading systems or APIs.
Trade Execution:
- Enter: Initiates a new trade if entry conditions are met and there is no open position.
- Exit: Closes all trades if exit conditions are met or stop loss/take profit thresholds are hit.
Key Features
Customizable: Fully configurable entry and exit conditions based on external indicators.
Encapsulation: Integrates seamlessly with indicators, allowing strategies to be developed as indicator-based signals.
Comprehensive Risk Management:
- Multiple stop loss and take profit options.
- Emergency stop loss for unexpected conditions.
API Integration: Alerts are designed to interface with external systems for automation and monitoring.
Plots
The script plots key variables on the chart for better visualization:
Enter and Exit Signals:
- `enter`: Displays when the entry condition is triggered.
- `exit`: Displays when the exit condition is triggered.
Risk Management Levels:
- `trailSL`: Current trailing stop loss level.
- `basicSL`: Static stop loss level.
- `erSL`: Emergency stop loss level.
- `maxSL`: Maximum risk stop loss level.
Profit Management Levels:
- `maxTP`: Maximum take profit level.
- `limitTP`: Limit-based take profit level.
Limit Orders:
- `limitSL`: Limit-based stop loss level.
- `limitTP`: Limit-based take profit level.
Proposed Interpretations
Entry and Exit Points:
- Use the plotted signals (`enter`, `exit`) to analyze the trade entry and exit points visually.
Risk and Profit Levels:
- Monitor the stop loss (`SL`) and take profit (`TP`) levels to assess trade performance.
Dynamic Trail SL:
- Observe the `trailSL` to evaluate how the trailing stop adapts during the trade.
Limitations
Dependence on Indicators:
- This script relies on external indicators to provide signals for strategy execution.
No Indicator Included:
- Users must integrate an appropriate indicator for source inputs.
Back-Test Constraints:
- Back-testing results depend on the accuracy and design of the integrated indicators.
Final Thoughts
The Skeleton Key Lite strategy by QuantAlchemy provides a robust framework for automated trading by leveraging indicator-based signals. Its flexibility and comprehensive risk management make it a valuable tool for traders seeking to implement and backtest custom strategies.

TradingIQ - Counter Strike IQIntroducing "Counter Strike IQ" by TradingIQ
Counter Strike IQ is an exclusive trading algorithm developed by TradingIQ, designed to trade upside/downside breakouts of varying significance. By integrating artificial intelligence and IQ Technology, Counter Strike IQ analyzes historical and real-time price data to construct a dynamic trading system adaptable to various asset and timeframe combinations.
Philosophy of Counter Strike IQ
Counter Strike IQ operates on a single premise: Support and resistance levels cannot hold forever. At some point either side must break for the underlying asset to exhibit trends; otherwise, prices would be confined to an infinitely narrowing range.
Counter Strike IQ is designed to work straight out of the box. In fact, its simplicity requires just four user settings to manage output, making it incredibly straightforward to manage.
Minimum ATR Profit, Minimum ATR Stop, EMA Filter and EMA Filter Length are the only settings that manage the performance of Counter Strike IQ!
Traders don’t have to spend hours adjusting settings and trying to find what works best - Counter Strike IQ handles this on its own.
Key Features of Counter Strike IQ
Self-Learning Breakout Detection
Employs AI and IQ Technology to identify notable breakouts in real-time.
AI-Generated Trading Signals
Provides breakout trading signals derived from self-learning algorithms.
Comprehensive Trading System
Offers clear entry and exit labels.
Performance Tracking
Records and presents trading performance data, easily accessible for user analysis.
Self-Learning Trading Exits
Counter Strike IQ learns where to exit positions.
Long and Short Trading Capabilities
Supports both long and short positions to trade various market conditions.
Strike Channel
The Strike Channel represents what Counter Strike IQ considers a tradable long opportunity or a tradable short opportunity. The Strike Channel is dynamic and adjusts from chart to chart.
IQ Graph Gradient
Introduces the IQ Graph Gradient, designed to classify extreme values in price on a grand scale.
How It Works
Counter Strike IQ operates on a straightforward heuristic: go long during significant upside price moves that break established resistance levels and go short during significant downside price moves that break established support levels.
IQ Technology, TradingIQ's proprietary AI algorithm, defines what constitutes a “significant price move” and what’s considered a tradable breakout. For Counter Strike IQ, this algorithm evaluates all historical support/resistance breaks and any subsequent breakouts. For instance, the price move following up to a breakout is measured and learned from, including the significance of the identified support/resistance level (how long it’s been active, how far price moved away from it, etc). By analyzing these patterns, Counter Strike IQ adapts to identify and trade similar future breakout sequences.
In simple terms, Counter Strike IQ learns from violations of historical support/resistance levels to identify potential entry points at currently established support/resistance levels. Using this knowledge, it determines the optimal, current support/resistance price level where a breakout has a higher chance of occurring.
For long positions, Counter Strike IQ places a stop-market order at the AI-identified resistance point. If price violates this level a market order will be placed and a long position entered. Of course, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. After the position is entered TP1 is placed (identifiable on the price chart). TP1 has a twofold purpose:
Acts as a legitimate profit target to exit 50% of the position.
Once TP1 is closed over, the initial stop loss is converted to a trailing stop, and the long position remains active so long as price continues to uptrend.
For short positions, Counter Strike IQ places a stop-market order at the AI-identified support point. If price violates this level a market order will be placed and a short position entered. Again, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. Upon entry TP1 is placed (identifiable on the price chart). TP1 has a twofold purpose:
Acts as a legitimate profit target to exit 50% of the position.
Once TP1 is closed over, the initial stop loss is converted to a trailing stop, and the short position remains active so long as price continues to downtrend.
As a trading system, Counter Strike IQ exits TP1 using a limit order, with all stop losses exited as stop market orders.
What Classifies As a Tradable Upside Breakout or Tradable Downside Breakout?
For Counter Strike IQ, tradable price breakouts are not manually set but are instead learned by the system. What qualifies as a significant upside or downside breakout in one market might not hold the same significance in another. Counter Strike IQ continuously analyzes historical and current support/resistance levels, how far price has extended from those levels, the raw-dollar price move leading up to a violation of those levels, their longevity, and more, to determine which future levels have a higher chance of breaking out when retested!
The image above illustrates the Strike Channel and explains the corresponding prices and levels
The green upper line represents the Long Breakout Point.
The pink lower line represents the Short Breakout Point.
Any price between the two deviation points is considered “Acceptable”.
The image above shows a long position being entered after the Upside Breakout Point was reached.
Green arrows indicate that the strategy entered a long position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at TP1, the initial stop loss, or at the trailing stop.
Blue lines indicate the TP1 level for the current trade. Red lines indicate the initial stop loss price.
If price closes above TP1, the initial stop loss will be replaced with a trailing stop. A blue line (similar to the blue line shown for TP1) will trail price and correspond to the trailing stop price of the trade.
The image above shows the trailing stop price, represented by a blue line, used for the long position!
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
The image above shows a short position being entered after the Downside Breakout Point was reached.
Red arrows indicate that the strategy entered a short position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at TP1, the initial stop loss, or at the trailing stop.
Blue lines indicate the TP1 level for the current trade. Red lines indicate the initial stop loss price.
If price closes below TP1, the initial stop loss will be replaced with a trailing stop. A blue line (similar to the blue line shown for TP1) will trail price and correspond to the trailing stop price of the trade.
The image above shows the trailing stop price, represented by a blue line, used for the short position!
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
IQ Gradient Graph
The IQ Gradient Graph provides a macro characterization of extreme prices.
The lower macro extremity of the IQ Gradient Graph is colored green, while the upper macro extremity is colored red.
Minimum Profit Target And Stop Loss
The Minimum ATR Profit Target and Minimum ATR Stop Loss setting control the minimum allowed profit target and stop loss distance. On most timeframes users won’t have to alter these settings; however, on very-low timeframes such as the 1-minute chart, users can increase these values so gross profits exceed commission.
After changing either setting, Counter Strike IQ will retrain on historical data - accounting for the newly defined minimum profit target or stop loss.
AI Direction
The AI Direction setting controls the trade direction Counter Strike IQ is allowed to take.
“Trade Longs” allows for long trades.
“Trade Shorts” allows for short trades.
EMA Filter
The EMA Filter setting controls whether the AI should implement an EMA trading filter. Simply, if the EMA Filter is active, long trades can only initiate if price is trading above the user-defined EMA. Conversely, short trades can only initiate if price is trading below the user-defined EMA.
The image above shows the EMA Filter in action!
Verifying Counter Strike IQ’s Effectiveness
Counter Strike IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for the long strategy and the short strategy it uses. This information can be found in the table located in the top-right corner of your chart showing.
This table shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor.
The image above shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor for Counter Strike IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates a strategy profitably traded historical price data.

Using Counter Strike IQ
While Counter Strike IQ is a full-fledged trading system with entries and exits - manual traders can certainly make use of its on chart indications and visualizations.
The hallmark feature of Counter Strike IQ is its ability to signal a breakout near its origin point. Long entries are often signaled near the start of a large upside price move; short entries are often signaled near the start of a large downside price move.
For live analysis, the Strike Channel serves as a valuable tool for identifying breakout points.
The further price moves toward the Upside Breakout Point (green), the stronger the indication that price might breakout to the upside. Conversely, the deeper price reaches toward the Downside Breakout Point (red), the stronger the indication that price might breakout to the downside.
Of course, should buying or selling pressure stall, price may fail to breakout at the identified breakout level. This is a natural consequence of any breakout trading strategy!
With this information at hand, traders can quickly switch between charts and timeframes to identify optimized areas of interest.
TS CalculatorWhat is Trailing Stop?
A trailing stop is a type of stop-loss order that adjusts itself as the price of an asset moves in a favorable direction. It’s designed to lock in profits or limit losses by following the asset’s price movement. Here’s how it works:
How a Trailing Stop Works
Initial Setup: You set a trailing stop at a certain percentage or dollar amount below (for long trades) or above (for short trades) the current market price.
Price Movement: As the price moves in your favor, the trailing stop moves with it, maintaining the set distance.
Locking in Profits: If the price reverses direction by the set amount, the trailing stop triggers a market order to sell (for long trades) or buy (for short trades), locking in your profits or limiting your losses.
Example
Long Trade: If you buy a stock at $100 and set a trailing stop at 10%, the stop-loss order will initially be at $90. If the stock price rises to $120, the trailing stop moves up to $108 (10% below $120). If the price then drops to $108, the trailing stop triggers a sell order.
Short Trade: If you short a stock at $100 and set a trailing stop at 10%, the stop-loss order will initially be at $110. If the stock price falls to $80, the trailing stop moves down to $88 (10% above $80). If the price then rises to $88, the trailing stop triggers a buy order.
Benefits
Automated Risk Management: It helps manage risk without the need to constantly monitor the market.
Profit Protection: It locks in profits as the price moves in your favor.
Flexibility: It adjusts dynamically with the market price, unlike a fixed stop-loss order.
What this script does ?
This script plots the Trailing Stop from the point of entry to current date, until it hits the trailing stop. Some of the market did not give the trailing stop values exactly so this script may give you a wise view of that.
Variables
Date : Date with YYYY-MM-DD format
Time : Time with HH:MM:SS format
Entry Price : Activation Price of TS order
Bounceback Ratio : Ratio for TS
Order Type : Position of order as Long/Short
There is an also a table implemented which shows

SL ManagerSTOP LOSS MANAGER
Overview:
The "SL Manager" indicator is designed to assist traders in managing their stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels for both long and short positions. This tool helps you visualize intermediate levels, enhancing your trading decisions by providing crucial information on the chart.
Usage:
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to manage their trades more effectively by visualizing potential adjustment points for their stop loss and take profit levels. It helps in making informed decisions to maximize profits and minimize risks by providing clear levels to take partial profits and adjust stop losses.
Features:
Position Input: Select between "long" and "short" positions.
Entry Price: Specify the entry price of your trade.
Take Profit: Define the price level at which you want to take profit.
Stop Loss: Set the stop loss price level to manage your risk.
Intermediate Levels:
For both long and short positions, the indicator calculates and plots the following intermediate levels:
50% Take Profit (TP 50%): Midway between the entry price and the take profit level, where you can take partial profits and move your SL up to the 25% mark.
75% Take Profit (TP 75%): Three-quarters of the way from the entry price to the take profit level, where you can take partial profits and move your SL to breakeven.
Stop Loss Move to 25% (SL Move to 25%): A level where the stop loss can be adjusted to lock in profits.
Visualization:
The indicator plots the calculated levels directly on the chart, provided the data for the current day is available. Different color codes and line styles distinguish between the various levels:
TP 50% and TP 75% are plotted in green.
SL Move to 25% is plotted in red .
Entry/Breakeven is plotted in blue.
