Trend identifier with signals - Swing TradingIndicator Objective
The "Trend identifier with signals - Swing Trading" indicator is designed to help traders identify market trends and provide clear visual signals for potential buy and sell points based on the interaction of price with the 20-period moving average.
How the Indicator Works
20-Period Moving Average:
The indicator calculates the 20-period simple moving average (SMA), which is a common tool for smoothing out price fluctuations and identifying the overall market direction.
The moving average is plotted on the chart, changing color according to the identified trend:
Green: Indicates an uptrend.
Red: Indicates a downtrend.
Gray: Indicates a neutral or undefined market condition.
Trend Identification on the Daily Chart:
The indicator checks the trend based on an adjustable period (default is 5 periods):
Uptrend: When the short-term moving average (5 periods) is above the long-term moving average (10 periods).
Downtrend: When the short-term moving average (5 periods) is below the long-term moving average (10 periods).
Signal for Touching the Moving Average:
When the price crosses the 20-period moving average, the candles are colored purple to indicate that there was a touch on the moving average.
This helps identify critical points where the price may reverse or continue its trend.
Trend Signal:
Green Flag: Appears below the candle when there is a touch on the moving average and the trend is up, suggesting a potential buy point.
Red Flag: Appears above the candle when there is a touch on the moving average and the trend is down, suggesting a potential sell point.
Lateral Zone Identification:
The indicator also checks if the price touched the moving average for 5 consecutive candles, indicating a possible consolidation or lateral zone.
If this occurs, a message "Possible Lateral Zone" is shown on the chart, helping the trader avoid trades in a market without a clear direction.
How the Indicator Helps Traders
Clear Trend Identification:
By changing the color of the moving average according to the trend (green for up, red for down), the indicator provides a clear visualization of market direction.
This allows traders to align their trades with the prevailing trend, increasing the probability of success.
Visual Buy and Sell Signals:
The green and red flags provide direct visual signals for potential entry and exit points, based on the interaction of price with the moving average.
This is particularly useful for novice traders who may struggle to identify these points on their own.
Risk Management and Trade Planning:
Identifying lateral zones helps traders avoid trading in trendless markets, where price movements are more unpredictable.
This improves risk management and allows traders to focus on more favorable opportunities.

Chandelier Exit Strategy with 200 EMA FilterStrategy Name and Purpose
Chandelier Exit Strategy with 200EMA Filter
This strategy uses the Chandelier Exit indicator in combination with a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to generate trend-based trading signals. The main purpose of this strategy is to help traders identify high-probability entry points by leveraging the Chandelier Exit for stop loss levels and the EMA for trend confirmation. This strategy aims to provide clear rules for entries and exits, improving overall trading discipline and performance.
Originality and Usefulness
This script integrates two powerful indicators to create a cohesive and effective trading strategy:
Chandelier Exit : This indicator is based on the Average True Range (ATR) and identifies potential stop loss levels. The Chandelier Exit helps manage risk by setting stop loss levels at a distance from the highest high or lowest low over a specified period, multiplied by the ATR. This ensures that the stop loss adapts to market volatility.
200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) : The EMA acts as a trend filter. By ensuring trades are only taken in the direction of the overall trend, the strategy improves the probability of success. For long entries, the close price must be above the 200 EMA, indicating a bullish trend. For short entries, the close price must be below the 200 EMA, indicating a bearish trend.
Combining these indicators adds layers of confirmation and risk management, enhancing the strategy's effectiveness. The Chandelier Exit provides dynamic stop loss levels based on market volatility, while the EMA ensures trades align with the prevailing trend.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry
A buy signal is generated by the Chandelier Exit.
The close price is above the 200 EMA, indicating a strong bullish trend.
Short Entry
A sell signal is generated by the Chandelier Exit.
The close price is below the 200 EMA, indicating a strong bearish trend.
Exit Conditions
For long positions: The position is closed when a sell signal is generated by the Chandelier Exit.
For short positions: The position is closed when a buy signal is generated by the Chandelier Exit.
Risk Management
Account Size: 1,000,00 yen
Commission and Slippage: 17 pips commission and 1 pip slippage per trade
Risk per Trade: 10% of account equity
Stop Loss: For long trades, the stop loss is placed slightly below the candle that generated the buy signal. For short trades, the stop loss is placed slightly above the candle that generated the sell signal. The stop loss levels are dynamically adjusted based on the ATR.
Settings Options
ATR Period: Set the period for calculating the ATR to determine the Chandelier Exit levels.
ATR Multiplier: Set the multiplier for ATR to define the distance of stop loss levels from the highest high or lowest low.
Use Close Price for Extremums: Choose whether to use the close price for calculating the extremums.
EMA Period: Set the period for the EMA to adjust the trend filter sensitivity.
Show Buy/Sell Labels: Choose whether to display buy and sell labels on the chart for visual confirmation.
Highlight State: Choose whether to highlight the bullish or bearish state on the chart.
Sufficient Sample Size
The strategy has been backtested with a sufficient sample size to evaluate its performance accurately. This ensures that the strategy's results are statistically significant and reliable.

S&P Short-Range Oscillator**SHOULD BE USED ON THE S&P 500 ONLY**
The S&P Short-Range Oscillator (SRO), inspired by the principles of Jim Cramer's oscillator, is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in the stock market, specifically for the S&P 500 index. The SRO combines several market indicators to provide a normalized measure of market sentiment, assisting traders in making informed decisions.
The SRO utilizes two simple moving averages (SMAs) of different lengths: a 5-day SMA and a 10-day SMA. It also incorporates the daily price change and market breadth (the net change of closing prices). The 5-day and 10-day SMAs are calculated based on the closing prices. The daily price change is determined by subtracting the opening price from the closing price. Market breadth is calculated as the difference between the current closing price and the previous closing price.
The raw value of the oscillator, referred to as SRO Raw, is the sum of the daily price change, the 5-day SMA, the 10-day SMA, and the market breadth. This raw value is then normalized using its mean and standard deviation over a 20-day period, ensuring that the oscillator is centered and maintains a consistent scale. Finally, the normalized value is scaled to fit within the range of -15 to 15.
When interpreting the SRO, a value below -5 indicates that the market is potentially oversold, suggesting it might be a good time to start buying stocks as the market could be poised for a rebound. Conversely, a value above 5 suggests that the market is potentially overbought. In this situation, it may be prudent to hold on to existing positions or consider selling if you have substantial gains.
The SRO is visually represented as a blue line on a chart, making it easy to track its movements. Red and green horizontal lines mark the overbought (5) and oversold (-5) levels, respectively. Additionally, the background color changes to light red when the oscillator is overbought and light green when it is oversold, providing a clear visual cue.
By incorporating the S&P Short-Range Oscillator into your trading strategy, you can gain valuable insights into market conditions and make more informed decisions about when to buy, sell, or hold your stocks. However, always consider other market factors and perform your own analysis before making any trading decisions.
The S&P Short-Range Oscillator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gain insights into market sentiment. It provides clear buy and sell signals through its combination of multiple indicators and normalization process. However, traders should be aware of its lagging nature and potential complexity, and use it in conjunction with other analysis methods for the best results.
Disclaimer
The S&P Short-Range Oscillator is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves risk, and you should conduct your own research or consult a financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Trend Follower IndexDescription
The purpose of this index is to give an idea about the possible direction of the trend. The index is overbought between 70 and 100, and oversold between 30 and 0. Unlike a typical RSI calculation, the 6-bar simple moving average of the price is calculated first. Then, the 21-bar RSI value of this moving average is calculated.
Why
The 6-bar average is often one of the best averages to show the direction of prices. Closes below this average give strong indications of a trend reversal. To display this average on the horizontal plane, I used the RSI function and took 21 bar as the reference length. Because in my research, I realized that 21 bar length is the most ideal upper and lower points. That's why I coded an indicator that shows where a trend is going and how far that trend needs to go.
Use
It becomes oversold when the Moving Average falls below 30. Here we encounter 3 types of colors;
Light Blue: Indicates that the average is between 30 and 20. It indicates the stage when small purchases begin and the decline rate of the trend begins to decrease.
Blue: Indicates that the average is between 20 and 10. It indicates the stage when purchases begin to become more frequent and the rate of trend decline begins to decrease slightly.
Green: Indicates that the average has fallen below 10. It is the ideal level for purchasing. This indicates the stage when buying pressure has increased significantly and the trend is ready to reverse upward.
As the level decreases, purchases should increase.
Again, when the average value exceeds 70, it becomes overbought. Here we encounter three types of colors;
Yellow: Indicates that the average is between 70 and 80. It indicates the stage when small sales begin and the rate of increase in the trend begins to decrease.
Orange: Indicates that the average is between 80 and 90. It indicates the stage when sales begin to become more frequent and the upward trend begins to decrease somewhat.
Red: Indicates the average is above 90. It is an ideal level for sales. It now marks the stage where selling pressure has increased significantly and the trend is ready to turn downwards.
As the level increases, sales should increase.
Originality
First of all, this moving average is not an RSI. RSI is only used to establish the average on a flat basis. The RSI is merely a helpful tool in determining how much the moving average will rise or fall.
The 6-bar average of the value obtained by calculating Bar (Opening + Closing + High + Low) / 4 gives information about the main trend. In my research and usage, I have observed that as long as the price remains above this average, the price continues to move upwards, and when it remains below it, it is willing to move downwards.

MACD Screener [Luxmi AI] MTFMulti-Timeframe Stock Screener with MACD
Introduction
In the world of trading, having a reliable stock screener is crucial for identifying potential trading opportunities. One of the most effective tools for this purpose is the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. By using MACD crossovers and crossunders with the signal line as trend change indicators, traders can make informed decisions. This guide explores how to utilize a multi-timeframe stock screener built in Pine Script v5 that leverages the MACD indicator to its fullest potential.
Understanding the MACD Indicator
The MACD is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. It consists of three main components:
MACD Line - The difference between the 12-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and the 26-period EMA.
Signal Line - A 9-period EMA of the MACD line.
Histogram - The difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
A crossover occurs when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, a crossunder occurs when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, signaling a potential bearish trend.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters
A multi-timeframe approach provides a more comprehensive view of the market by analyzing trends across different timeframes. This method enhances the reliability of trading signals, as it reduces the likelihood of false signals. For instance, a MACD crossover on both daily and weekly charts offers a stronger indication of a trend change than a single timeframe signal.
Using Your Multi-Timeframe Stock Screener
Here’s how to effectively use it:
1. Setting Up Your Screener
Ensure that your stock screener is configured correctly to analyze multiple timeframes. You should be able to input the desired timeframes (e.g., daily and weekly) and set the conditions for MACD crossovers and crossunders.
2. Selecting Stocks for Analysis
Start by choosing a universe of stocks to analyze. This can be a list of stocks from major indices like the S&P 500, Nifty50 or specific sectors you are interested in. The screener will then apply the MACD criteria to these stocks.
3. Interpreting the Signals
- Bullish Signal (UP): A MACD crossover on both the daily and weekly charts suggests a strong bullish trend. This indicates that the stock is likely to move upward in the near future.
- Bearish Signal (DOWN): A MACD crossunder on both the daily and weekly charts signals a strong bearish trend. This indicates that the stock is likely to decline.
4. Confirming Signals with Other Indicators
While the MACD is a powerful indicator, it’s always a good idea to confirm its signals with other technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or moving averages. This multi-indicator approach can help you make more informed decisions and reduce the risk of false signals.
5. Monitoring and Adjusting
Regularly monitor the performance of the stocks' trend identified by your screener. Adjust the screener settings if necessary to improve its accuracy. Market conditions can change, and it’s important to ensure your screener adapts to these changes.
6. Backtesting and Validation
Before fully relying on the signals from your screener, backtest it using historical data. This will help you validate its effectiveness and fine-tune the parameters to achieve the best results.
Conclusion
Your multi-timeframe stock screener with MACD crossover and crossunder as trend change indicators is a powerful tool for identifying potential trading opportunities. By analyzing trends across different timeframes, you can gain a comprehensive view of the market and make more informed trading decisions. Remember to confirm signals with other indicators and regularly monitor the screener’s performance to ensure it remains effective in different market conditions. Happy trading!
Vlad Waves█ CONCEPT
Acceleration Line (Blue)
The Acceleration Line is calculated as the difference between the 8-period SMA and the 20-period SMA.
This line helps to identify the momentum and potential turning points in the market.
Signal Line (Red)
The Signal Line is an 8-period SMA of the Acceleration Line.
This line smooths out the Acceleration Line to generate clearer signals.
Long-Term Average (Green)
The Long-Term Average is a 200-period SMA of the Acceleration Line.
This line provides a broader context of the market trend, helping to distinguish between long-term and short-term movements.
█ SIGNALS
Buy Mode
A buy signal occurs when the Acceleration Line crosses above the Signal Line while below the Long-Term Average. This indicates a potential bullish reversal in the market.
When the Signal Line crosses the Acceleration Line above the Long-Term Average, consider placing a stop rather than reversing the position to protect gains from potential pullbacks.
Sell Mode
A sell signal occurs when the Acceleration Line crosses below the Signal Line while above the Long-Term Average. This indicates a potential bearish reversal in the market.
When the Signal Line crosses the Acceleration Line below the Long-Term Average, consider placing a stop rather than reversing the position to protect gains from potential pullbacks.
█ UTILITY
This indicator is not recommended for standalone buy or sell signals. Instead, it is designed to identify market cycles and turning points, aiding in the decision-making process.
Entry signals are most effective when they occur away from the Long-Term Average, as this helps to avoid sideways movements.
Use larger timeframes, such as daily or weekly charts, for better accuracy and reliability of the signals.
█ CREDITS
The idea for this indicator came from Fabio Figueiredo (Vlad).

Support and resistance levels (Day, Week, Month) + EMAs + SMAs(ENG): This Pine 5 script provides various tools for configuring and displaying different support and resistance levels, as well as moving averages (EMA and SMA) on charts. Using these tools is an essential strategy for determining entry and exit points in trades.
Support and Resistance Levels
Daily, weekly, and monthly support and resistance levels play a key role in analyzing price movements:
Daily levels: Represent prices where a cryptocurrency has tended to bounce within the current trading day.
Weekly levels: Reflect strong prices that hold throughout the week.
Monthly levels: Indicate the most significant levels that can influence price movement over the month.
When trading cryptocurrencies, traders use these levels to make decisions about entering or exiting positions. For example, if a cryptocurrency approaches a weekly resistance level and fails to break through it, this may signal a sell opportunity. If the price reaches a daily support level and starts to bounce up, it may indicate a potential long position.
Market context and trading volumes are also important when analyzing support and resistance levels. High volume near a level can confirm its significance and the likelihood of subsequent price movement. Traders often combine analysis across different time frames to get a more complete picture and improve the accuracy of their trading decisions.
Moving Averages
Moving averages (EMA and SMA) are another important tool in the technical analysis of cryptocurrencies:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Gives more weight to recent prices, allowing it to respond more quickly to price changes.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equally considers all prices over a given period.
Key types of moving averages used by traders:
EMA 50 and 200: Often used to identify trends. The crossing of the 50-day EMA with the 200-day EMA is called a "golden cross" (buy signal) or a "death cross" (sell signal).
SMA 50, 100, 150, and 200: These periods are often used to determine long-term trends and support/resistance levels. Similar to the EMA, the crossings of these averages can signal potential trend changes.
Settings Groups:
EMA Golden Cross & Death Cross: A setting to display the "golden cross" and "death cross" for the EMA.
EMA 50 & 200: A setting to display the 50-day and 200-day EMA.

(RUS) Данный Pine 5 скрипт предоставляет разнообразные инструменты для настройки и отображения различных уровней поддержки и сопротивления, а также скользящих средних (EMA и SMA) на графиках. Использование этих инструментов является важной стратегией для определения точек входа и выхода из сделок.
Уровни поддержки и сопротивления
Дневные, недельные и месячные уровни поддержки и сопротивления играют ключевую роль в анализе движения цен:
Дневные уровни: Представляют собой цены, на которых криптовалюта имела тенденцию отскакивать в течение текущего торгового дня.
Недельные уровни: Отражают сильные цены, которые сохраняются в течение недели.
Месячные уровни: Указывают на наиболее значимые уровни, которые могут влиять на движение цены в течение месяца.
При торговле криптовалютами трейдеры используют эти уровни для принятия решений о входе в позицию или закрытии сделки. Например, если криптовалюта приближается к недельному уровню сопротивления и не удается его преодолеть, это может стать сигналом для продажи. Если цена достигает дневного уровня поддержки и начинает отскакивать вверх, это может указывать на возможность открытия длинной позиции.
Контекст рынка и объемы торговли также важны при анализе уровней поддержки и сопротивления. Высокий объем при приближении к уровню может подтвердить его значимость и вероятность последующего движения цены. Трейдеры часто комбинируют анализ различных временных рамок для получения более полной картины и улучшения точности своих торговых решений.
Скользящие средние
Скользящие средние (EMA и SMA) являются еще одним важным инструментом в техническом анализе криптовалют:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Экспоненциальная скользящая средняя, которая придает большее значение последним ценам. Это позволяет более быстро реагировать на изменения в ценах.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Простая скользящая средняя, которая равномерно учитывает все цены в заданном периоде.
Основные виды скользящих средних, которые используются трейдерами:
EMA 50 и 200: Часто используются для выявления трендов. Пересечение 50-дневной EMA с 200-дневной EMA называется "золотым крестом" (сигнал на покупку) или "крестом смерти" (сигнал на продажу).
SMA 50, 100, 150 и 200: Эти периоды часто используются для определения долгосрочных трендов и уровней поддержки/сопротивления. Аналогично EMA, пересечения этих средних могут сигнализировать о возможных изменениях тренда.
Группы настроек:
EMA Golden Cross & Death Cross: Настройка для отображения "золотого креста" и "креста смерти" для EMA.
EMA 50 & 200: Настройка для отображения 50-дневной и 200-дневной EMA.
Уровни поддержки и сопротивления: Включает настройки для дневных, недельных и месячных уровней.

Multi-Timeframe Trend IndicatorMulti-Timeframe Trend Indicator
The “Multi-Timeframe Trend Indicator” is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify trends across multiple timeframes using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This indicator is suitable for both novice and experienced traders. It allows users to customize the lengths of the short and long EMAs, providing a clear visualization of the trend direction (UP, DOWN, SIDE) for various intervals including 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours. The indicator offers extensive customization options, enabling adjustments for table position, colors, and more to suit individual trading preferences.
How the Calculation Works
The Multi-Timeframe Trend Indicator uses EMAs to calculate trends. EMAs give more weight to recent prices, making them responsive to new information. The short EMA, calculated over a shorter period, reacts quickly to price changes, while the long EMA, calculated over a longer period, smooths out fluctuations to show the overall trend.
For each timeframe, the indicator calculates both the short EMA and the long EMA. If the short EMA is above the long EMA, the trend is considered “UP”. If the short EMA is below the long EMA, the trend is “DOWN”. If the absolute difference between the short and long EMAs is within a user-defined threshold, the trend is classified as “SIDE” (sideways).
This calculation is repeated for multiple timeframes: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours. The results are displayed in a table, providing a comprehensive view of the trend direction across different timeframes.
How the Code Works
Input Parameters: Users can input the lengths of the short and long EMAs and the threshold for identifying sideways trends. These inputs allow for a high degree of customization to match individual trading strategies.
Trend Calculation Function: The trend function calculates the trend direction based on the EMAs. It uses the math.abs function to find the absolute difference between the EMAs and determines if the trend is “UP”, “DOWN”, or “SIDE” based on the threshold.
Requesting Data for Multiple Timeframes: The script uses the request.security function to fetch price data and calculate the EMAs for different timeframes independently of the current chart timeframe. This ensures consistency in trend analysis regardless of the displayed timeframe.
Creating and Updating the Table: A table is created to display the trend directions for each timeframe. The table’s position and appearance can be customized. The trend data for each timeframe is color-coded (green for UP, red for DOWN, gray for SIDE) and displayed in the table.
Customization Options: Users can customize the colors, table position, and EMA lengths through the indicator settings, providing flexibility to adapt the indicator to their trading style.

VWMA Multiple TimeframesVWMA Multiple Timeframes Indicator
This TradingView indicator plots the Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) across multiple timeframes on your chart. The VWMA is a type of moving average that gives more weight to periods with higher volume, making it a valuable tool for traders who want to incorporate volume into their technical analysis.
Features:
Multi-timeframe Analysis: This indicator calculates and plots the VWMA on five different timeframes:
Weekly (W)
Daily (D)
4 Hours (240 minutes)
1 Hour (60 minutes)
15 Minutes
Visual Representation: Each timeframe's VWMA is plotted with a different color, making it easy to distinguish between them on the chart:
Weekly VWMA: Gray
Daily VWMA: Blue
4 Hours VWMA: Red
1 Hour VWMA: Green
15 Minutes VWMA: Purple
How to Use:
Trend Identification: Use the VWMA to identify the direction of the trend on different timeframes. For example, if the VWMA is trending upwards on multiple timeframes, it indicates a strong upward trend.
Support and Resistance: The VWMA can act as dynamic support or resistance levels. Price bouncing off a VWMA line might indicate a continuation of the trend.
Volume Confirmation: The VWMA considers volume, making it useful for confirming the strength of price movements. High volume moves that cause the VWMA to change direction can be more significant than low volume moves.
This indicator is ideal for traders who use multi-timeframe analysis and want to incorporate volume into their trend and support/resistance identification. Feel free to customize the periods and timeframes to suit your trading style.
Normalized Hull Moving Average Oscillator w/ ConfigurationsThis indicator uniquely uses normalization techniques applied to the Hull Moving Average (HMA) and allows the user to choose between a number of different types of normalization, each with their own advantages. This indicator is one in a series of experiments I've been working on in looking at different methods of transforming data. In particular, this is a more usable example of the power of data transformation, as it takes the Hull Moving Average of Alan Hull and turns it into a powerful oscillating indicator.
The indicator offers multiple types of normalization, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. My personal favorites are the Mean Normalization , which turns the data series into one centered around 0, and the Quantile Transformation , which converts the data into a data set that is normally distributed.
I've also included the option of showing the mean, median, and mode of the data over the period specified by the length of normalization. Using this will allow you to gather additional insights into how these transformations affect the distribution of the data series.
Types of Normalization:
1. Z-Score
Overview: Standardizes the data by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
Benefits: Centers the data around 0 with a standard deviation of 1, reducing the impact of outliers.
Disadvantages: Works best on data that is normally distributed
Notes: Best used with a mid-longer length of transformation.
2. Min-Max
Overview: Scales the data to fit within a specified range, typically 0 to 1.
Benefits: Simple and fast to compute, preserves the relationships among data points.
Disadvantages: Sensitive to outliers, which can skew the normalization.
Notes: Best used with mid-longer length of transformation.
3. Mean Normalization
Overview: Subtracts the mean and divides by the range (max - min).
Benefits: Centers data around 0, making it easier to compare different datasets.
Disadvantages: Can be affected by outliers, which influence the range.
Notes: Best used with a mid-longer length of transformation.
4. Max Abs Scaler
Overview: Scales each feature by its maximum absolute value.
Benefits: Retains sparsity and is robust to large outliers.
Disadvantages: Only shifts data to the range , which might not always be desirable.
Notes: Best used with a mid-longer length of transformation.
5. Robust Scaler
Overview: Uses the median and the interquartile range for scaling.
Benefits: Robust to outliers, does not shift data as much as other methods.
Disadvantages: May not perform well with small datasets.
Notes: Best used with a longer length of transformation.
6. Feature Scaling to Unit Norm
Overview: Scales data such that the norm (magnitude) of each feature is 1.
Benefits: Useful for models that rely on the magnitude of feature vectors.
Disadvantages: Sensitive to outliers, which can disproportionately affect the norm. Not normally used in this context, though it provides some interesting transformations.
Notes: Best used with a shorter length of transformation.
7. Logistic Function
Overview: Applies the logistic function to squash data into the range .
Benefits: Smoothly compresses extreme values, handling skewed distributions well.
Disadvantages: May not preserve the relative distances between data points as effectively.
Notes: Best used with a shorter length of transformation. This feature is actually two layered, we first put it through the mean normalization to ensure that it's generally centered around 0.
8. Quantile Transformation
Overview: Maps data to a uniform or normal distribution using quantiles.
Benefits: Makes data follow a specified distribution, useful for non-linear scaling.
Disadvantages: Can distort relationships between features, computationally expensive.
Notes: Best used with a very long length of transformation.
Conclusion
This indicator is a powerful example into how normalization can alter and improve the usability of a data series. Each method offers unique insights and benefits, making this indicator a useful tool for any trader. Try it out, and don't hesitate to reach out if you notice any glaring flaws in the script, room for improvement, or if you just have questions.
No Lag SupertrendNo Lag Supertrend indicator improves upon the original supertrend by incorporating calculation methods that enhance responsiveness and accuracy. Traditional supertrend indicators often suffer from lag, which can delay signals and affect trading decisions. No Lag Supertrend addresses this issue through the use of KAMA (Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average) and Hull ATR (Average True Range) calculations.
Goals of No Lag Supertrend:
- Lag reduction: one of the main issues with traditional supertrend indicators is their lag, which can result in delayed entry and exit signals. By integrating KAMA and Hull ATR, the no lag supertrend minimizes this delay, providing more timely signals.
- Market Noise Filtering: The combined use of KAMA and Hull ATR effectively filters out market noise, ensuring that signals are based on significant price movements rather than minor fluctuations.
- Consistency Across Different Market Conditions: The adaptive nature of KAMA and the smooth responsiveness of Hull ATR ensure that the No Lag Supertrend performs consistently across various market conditions, from trending to volatile markets.
Credits: This code is based on the TradingView supertrend but improved the ATR calculations.

T3 [RATE OF CHANGE] by SKiNNiEHDeveloped by Tim Tillson, the Tilson Moving Average (T3) is a trend indicator with the advantage of having less lag than other ones. That is, a faster moving average. The T3 moving average is an "indicator of an indicator" as it includes several EMAs of another EMA. Unlike other moving averages, the t3 adds the so-called volume factor, a value between 0 and 1.
The T3 RATE OF CHANGE by SKiNNiEH is a unique indicator that integrates the T3 moving average with a normalized Rate of Change (RoC) calculation. Unlike traditional T3 moving averages, this indicator provides additional smoothing modes (SINGLE, DOUBLE & TRIPLE) for the T3, whilst enhancing visual feedback of the plotted line by generating a dynamic line thickness, a dynamic line color & brightness and trade entry bars, offering traders a more dynamic view of market conditions without going "overboard" with settings.
How It Works
Visualization
The T3 line varies in thickness and color based on the RoC values, giving traders visual cues about market strength and direction.
Thicker and brighter lines indicate stronger trends, while thinner and duller lines suggest weaker trends.
Rate of Change Filte r
This filter refines trend detection by using the line thickness measurement.
Adjustable from 0 (disabled) to 4, where higher settings only consider stronger trends for signals.
The T3 line turns gray when the filter is triggered or when the RoC is extremely low, signaling a weak or neutral market.
T3 Calculation (mode)
SINGLE
The T3 calculation is applied once to the closing price.
This mode has the least smoothing effect and the least lag. It reacts more quickly to price changes but is less smooth.
DOUBLE
The T3 calculation is applied twice sequentially.
The first T3 calculation smooths the closing price.
The second T3 calculation smooths the result of the first T3 calculation.
This mode provides more smoothing and introduces more lag compared to SINGLE mode. It is smoother but reacts slower to price changes.
TRIPLE
The T3 calculation is applied three times sequentially.
The first T3 calculation smooths the closing price.
The second T3 calculation smooths the result of the first T3 calculation.
The third T3 calculation smooths the result of the second T3 calculation.
This mode provides the most smoothing and introduces the most lag by reacting the slowest to price changes.
Rate of Change (RoC) Calculation
The script calculates the Rate of Change (RoC) for the T3 values based on the selected mode (SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE). The RoC measures the percentage change between the most recent value and a value in the past. The measurement is then normalized in three different ranges.
Normalization 5: Determines T3 line thickness on a scale from 0 - 5
Normalization 10: Determines T3 color brightness on a scale from 0 - 10
Normalization 100: Determines Rate of Change percentage
Rate of Change Filter
The script uses the RoC filter to refine the trend detection logic. By using the line thickness measurement, a filter can be enabled by setting this input on 1 - 4. As an example, setting this to 4 means that only a line thickness of 5 would be considered for a trade signal. Setting this to 0 disables the filter. The T3 line will turn gray when the filter is triggered, the T3 line can also turn gray without the filter, when the Rate of Change is extremely low.
Trade Signals
A trade signal is printed as a vertical green or red bar when the following conditions are met:
Long:
Closing price is above the T3 line
Rate of Change percentage is above 0
Previous trade signal was a short signal **
Rate of Change is not filtered
Short:
Closing price is below the T3 line
Rate of Change percentage is below 0
Previous trade signal was a long signal **
Rate of Change is not filtered
** Or this is the very first recorded trade signal
It should be noted that the trade signals in this script are trade entry signals, not trade exit signals. Use at your own risk.
Instructions for Use
Setting Up the Indicator
Apply the indicator to your trading chart.
Choose the desired T3 mode (SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE) based on your need for smoothing and lag.
Set the desired length (lookback period).
Set the desired factor between 0 and 1 (increments of 0.1)
Choose an overall line thickness and brightness that suits your screen and taste preferences.
Apply the Rate of Change filter. Setting this to 0 will disable the filter
Tip: use the trade entry vertical bars as a visual calibration tool the adjust mode, length, factor and filter.
Interpreting Visual Cues
Observe the T3 line's thickness: thicker lines indicate stronger trends, while thinner lines suggest weaker trends.
Observe the T3 line's color and color brightness: green indicates a more bullish trend, while red indicates a more bearish trend. A brighter color suggest a stronger trend. A gray color means the RoC is very low / neutral, or the RoC filter is active.
Observe the T3 line's location relative to price: below price indicates a more bullish trend, above price indicates a more bearish trend. The T3 line distance from price can also be an indication of trend strength.
Observe vertical bars: a vertical bar is printed green when long conditions are met, a vertical bar is printed red when short conditions are met. See the rules that explain the trigger for this bar above.

EMA Cross Fibonacci Entry with RetracementThe EMA Cross Fibonacci Entry with Retracement is a trading strategy that combines two popular technical analysis tools: Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Fibonacci retracement levels. Here's a brief overview of how this strategy typically works:
### Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
1. **EMAs Calculation**: EMAs give more weight to recent price data, making them more responsive to price changes. Commonly used periods for EMAs in this strategy are the 50-period and 200-period EMAs.
2. **EMA Cross**: The strategy looks for a "golden cross" (short-term EMA crosses above the long-term EMA) as a potential buy signal, and a "death cross" (short-term EMA crosses below the long-term EMA) as a potential sell signal.
### Fibonacci Retracement Levels
1. **Fibonacci Retracement**: This tool is used to identify potential support and resistance levels based on the Fibonacci sequence. The key retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%.
2. **Drawing Retracement Levels**: Traders draw Fibonacci retracement levels from a significant peak to a significant trough (or vice versa) to identify potential retracement levels where the price might reverse.
### Combining EMA Cross with Fibonacci Retracement
1. **Identify EMA Cross**: First, traders look for an EMA cross. For example, a golden cross where a shorter EMA (e.g., 50 EMA) crosses above a longer EMA (e.g., 200 EMA) suggests a bullish trend.
2. **Wait for Retracement**: After identifying a cross, traders wait for the price to retrace to a Fibonacci level. The key levels to watch are 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%.
3. **Entry Point**: The entry point is when the price retraces to a Fibonacci level and shows signs of reversal (e.g., bullish candlestick patterns, support at Fibonacci levels). This is typically when traders enter a long position.
4. **Confirmation with EMA**: Ensure that the EMAs support the trend. For a buy entry, the short-term EMA should remain above the long-term EMA.
### Example of a Bullish Entry
1. **Golden Cross**: 50 EMA crosses above 200 EMA.
2. **Retracement**: Price retraces to the 38.2% Fibonacci level.
3. **Entry Signal**: At the 38.2% level, a bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., hammer) forms, indicating potential support.
4. **Entry Point**: Enter a long position at the close of the bullish candlestick.
### Risk Management
1. **Stop Loss**: Place a stop loss below the next Fibonacci retracement level or below the recent swing low to limit potential losses.
2. **Take Profit**: Set a take profit target based on a risk-reward ratio, previous resistance levels, or further Fibonacci extensions.
### Conclusion
The EMA Cross Fibonacci Entry with Retracement strategy is a systematic approach to identifying entry points in a trending market. By combining the responsiveness of EMAs with the predictive power of Fibonacci retracement levels, traders aim to enter trades at optimal points, increasing their chances of success while managing risk effectively.
Fractalyst Moving Average [Adaptive] | FractalystWhat's the indicator purpose and functionality?
Moving averages are widely used technical indicators in trading.
Typically, they provide reliable entry signals in trending markets but can falter during consolidation periods.
Now, imagine a moving average that adjusts to market conditions.
The Fractalyst Moving Average does just that by adapting to the market's noise level, which is the erratic price movement within trends or consolidation phases.
This indicator incorporates market structure into moving averages to more effectively identify potential market trends.
By dynamically calculating moving averages based on external swing highs and lows, it offers robust trend identification and adapts to different market conditions, giving traders valuable insights into current market condition.
------
How does FRMA react in a trending and consolidating market?
When the market trends, the FRMA adjusts quickly to price movements, closely tracking the trend and positioning itself close to prices. This responsiveness allows it to provide timely signals and effectively capture trends.
However, in consolidating markets where there is little net change in price over time, the FRMA reacts slowly. As consolidation prolongs, the FRMA may even cease to move significantly, appearing non-reactive. This characteristic helps minimize false signals and unnecessary trades during periods of market indecision.
Notice how the FRMA tracks prices closely when the market is trending. When the market begins to consolidate, however, the FRMA becomes relatively unresponsive and stays horizontal.
------
What are the underlying calculations behind FRMA?
Identifying Swing Highs and Lows: FRMA begins by identifying the most recent external swing highs and lows, which are key pivot points in the market's price structure.
Defining Market Structure: It calculates the distance between these external swing levels. When price remains confined between these levels, indicating a horizontal market, it signifies minor intermediate ranges or a lack of clear trend direction.
Adapting to Breaks of Structure: When a new break of structure occurs—such as a significant price movement above a previous swing high or below a swing low—the FRMA updates dynamically.
It adjusts its values to reflect the midpoint (50%) of the distance between the external swing highs and lows.
This adjustment helps the FRMA react promptly to changes in different market environments.
------
How to use the FRMA in trading?
In a trend-following context, the FRMA provides clear signals for trading:
Buying Signal: Look to buy when the FRMA is rising. This indicates that the market is in an uptrend, with prices consistently moving higher. Buying at these points aligns with the trend momentum and increases the likelihood of capturing profitable movements.
Selling Signal: Consider selling when the FRMA is falling. A declining FRMA suggests that the market is in a downtrend, where prices are consistently decreasing. Selling during these periods helps capitalize on downward movements and potential profit-taking opportunities.
Avoiding Trades: Avoid trading when the FRMA appears horizontal and the market is consolidating. This indicates a lack of clear trend direction or significant price movement, which can lead to choppy price action and increased risk of false signals. Waiting for the FRMA to resume a clear trend direction can help avoid unnecessary losses in consolidating markets.
Note: These rules are just examples and may generate numerous false signals. Even when the FRMA is less responsive, it can exhibit frequent changes in direction.
Traders should apply additional filters or confirmatory indicators to refine their trading decisions and mitigate the impact of false signals.
Depending on whether they're employing mean-reversion or trend-following trading styles, traders need to adjust other market filters accordingly.
It's crucial to conduct thorough backtesting using various market conditions and filters to validate and optimize their trading strategies effectively.
This process helps traders identify the settings that best align with their trading goals and market conditions.
------
What makes this moving average unique compared to others?
Yes, it's another moving average, but the Fractalyst Adaptive Moving Average stands out for a compelling reason.
Its calculation is more sophisticated, leveraging market structure to identify potential consolidation and trending environments, similar to conventional moving averages such as SMA and EMA.
------
How does the FRMA's stack up against the other moving averages?
Since markets are always evolving, using adaptive strategy elements like the FRMA certainly makes a whole lot of sense.
However, from a practical standpoint, the only way to find out would be to exhaustively backtest the various moving averages across all markets of interest.
Establishing equivalency between the FRMA and other moving averages may be a little challenging, since the FRMA does not use a single integer value for its lookback period.
Assuming the backtests produced roughly equal results, I’d personally prefer to use the FRMA. Its adaptive qualities give me confidence that the strategy can weather changing market conditions.

Moving Average Crossover Swing StrategyMoving Average Crossover Swing Strategy
**Overview:**
The basic concept of this strategy is to generate a signal when a faster/shorter length moving average crosses over (for Longs) or crosses under (for Shorts) a medium/longer length moving average. All of which are customizable. This strategy can work on any timeframe, however the daily is the timeframe used for the default settings and screenshots, as it was designed to be a multi-day swing strategy. Once a signal has been confirmed with a candle close, based on user options, the strategy will enter the trade on the open of the next candle.
The crossover strategy is nothing new to trading, but what can make this strategy unique and helpful, is the addition of further confirmation points, ATR based stop loss and take profit targets, optional early exit criteria, customizable to your needs and style, and just about everything visual can be toggled on/off. This strategy is based on a Trend (MA) indicator and a Momentum (MACD) indicator. While a Volume-based indicator is not shown here, one could consider using their favorite from that category to further compliment the signal idea.
It should be noted that depending on the time frame, direction(s) chosen, the signal options, confirmation options, and exit options selected, that a ticker may not produce more than 100 trades on the back test. Depending on your style and frequency, one could consider adjusting options and/or testing multiple tickers. It should also be noted that this strategy simply tests the underlying stock prices, not options contracts. And of course, testing this strategy against historical data does not assume that the same results will occur in future price action.
Shoutout given to Ripster's Clouds Indicator as pieces of that code were taken and modified to create both the Cloud visualization effects, and the Moving Average Pair Plots that are implemented in this strategy.
BASIC DEFAULTS
All can be changed as normal
Initial capital = 10,000
Order Sizing = 25% of equity (use the "Inputs" tab to modify this)
Pyramiding = 0
Commission = 0.65 USD per order
Price Verification = 1 tick
Slippage = 1 tick
RISK MANAGMENT
You will notice two different percentage options and ATR multipliers. This strategy will adjust position sizing by not exceeding either one of those % values based on the ATR (Average True Range) of the symbol and the multipliers selected, should the stock hit the stop loss price.
For Example, lets assume these values are true:
Account size = $10,000,
Max Risk = 1% of account size
Max Position Size = 25% of the account size
Stock Price = 23.45
ATR = 3.5
ATR Stop Loss Multiplier = 1.4
Then the formulas would be:
ACCT_SIZE * MaxRisk_% = 10000 * .01 = $100 (MaxCashRisk)
-----
MaxCashRisk / (ATR * ATR_SL_MULTIPLIER) = 100 / (3.5 * 1.4) = 20.4 Shares based on Max Cash Risk
-----
(ACCT_SIZE * MaxEquity_%) / STOCK_PRICE = (10000 * .25) / 23.45 = 106.61 Shares based on Max Equity Allocation
The minimum value of each of those options is then used, which in this case would be to purchase 20 shares so as not to exceed the max dollar risk should the stock reach the stop loss target. Likewise, if the ATR were to be much lower, say 0.48 cents, and all else the same, then the strategy would purchase the 106 shares based on Max Equity Allocation because the Max Cash Risk would require 149.25 shares.
MOVING AVERAGE OPTIONS
Select between and change the length & type of up to 5 pairs (10 total) of moving averages
The "Show Cloud-x" option will display a fill color between the "a" and "b" pairs
All moving averages lines can be toggled on/off in the "Style" tab, as well as adjusting their colors.
Visualization features do not affect calculations, meaning you could have all or nothing on the chart and the strategy will still produce results
SIGNAL CHOICES
Choose the fast/shorter length MA and the medium/longer length MA to determine the entry signal
CONFIRMATION OPTIONS
Both of these have customizable values and can be toggled on/off
A candle close over a slower/much longer length moving average
An additional cross-over (cross-under for Shorts) on the MACD indicator using default MACD values. While the MACD indicator is not necessary to have on the chart, it can help to add that for visualization. The calculations will perform whether the indicator is on the chart or not.
EARLY EXIT CRITERIA
Both can be toggled on/off with customizable values
MA Cross Exit will exit the trade early if the select moving averages cross-under (for longs) or cross-over (for shorts), indicating a potential reversal.
Max Bars in Trades will act as a last-resort exit by simply calculating the amount of full bars the trade has been open, and exiting on the opening of the next bar. For example: the default value is 8 bars, so after 8 full bars in the trade, if no other exit has been triggered (Stop Loss, Take Profit, or MA Cross(if enabled)), then the trade will exit at the opening of the 9th bar.
Finally, there is a table displaying the amount of trades taken for each side, and the amount & percent of both early exits. This table can be turned off in the "Style" tab
ADDITIONAL PLOTS
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence):
- The MACD is an optional confirmation indicator for this strategy.
- Plotting the indicator is not necessary for the strategy to work, but it can be helpful to visually see the status and position of the MACD if this feature is enabled in the strategy
- This helps to identify if there is also momentum behind the entry signal
AlgoBuilder [Mean-Reversion] | FractalystWhat's the strategy's purpose and functionality?
This strategy is designed for both traders and investors looking to rely and trade based on historical and backtested data using automation.
The main goal is to build profitable mean-reversion strategies that outperform the underlying asset in terms of returns while minimizing drawdown.
For example, as for a benchmark, if the S&P 500 (SPX) has achieved an estimated 10% annual return with a maximum drawdown of -57% over the past 20 years, using this strategy with different entry and exit techniques, users can potentially seek ways to achieve a higher Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) while maintaining a lower maximum drawdown.
Although the strategy can be applied to all markets and timeframes, it is most effective on stocks, indices, future markets, cryptocurrencies, and commodities and JPY currency pairs given their trending behaviors.
In trending market conditions, the strategy employs a combination of moving averages and diverse entry models to identify and capitalize on upward market movements. It integrates market structure-based moving averages and bands mechanisms across different timeframes and provides exit techniques, including percentage-based and risk-reward (RR) based take profit levels.
Additionally, the strategy has also a feature that includes a built-in probability function for traders who want to implement probabilities right into their trading strategies.
Performance summary, weekly, and monthly tables enable quick visualization of performance metrics like net profit, maximum drawdown, profit factor, average trade, average risk-reward ratio (RR), and more.
This aids optimization to meet specific goals and risk tolerance levels effectively.

How does the strategy perform for both investors and traders?
The strategy has two main modes, tailored for different market participants: Traders and Investors.
Trading:
1. Trading:
- Designed for traders looking to capitalize on bullish trending markets.
- Utilizes a percentage risk per trade to manage risk and optimize returns.
- Suitable for active trading with a focus on mean-reversion and risk per trade approach.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
3. Investing:
- Geared towards investors who aim to capitalize on bullish trending markets without using leverage while mitigating the asset's maximum drawdown.
- Utilizes pre-define percentage of the equity to buy, hold, and manage the asset.
- Focuses on long-term growth and capital appreciation by fully investing in the asset during bullish conditions.
- ◓: Mode | %: Risk not applied (In investing mode, the strategy uses 10% of equity to buy the asset)
-----
What's is FRMA? How does the triple bands work? What are the underlying calculations?
Middle Band (FRMA):
The middle band is the core of the FRMA system. It represents the Fractalyst Moving Average, calculated by identifying the most recent external swing highs and lows in the market structure.
By determining these external swing pivot points, which act as significant highs and lows within the market range, the FRMA provides a unique moving average that adapts to market structure changes.
Upper Band:
The upper band shows the average price of the most recent external swing highs.
External swing highs are identified as the highest points between pivot points in the market structure.
This band helps traders identify potential overbought conditions when prices approach or exceed this upper band.
Lower Band:
The lower band shows the average price of the most recent external swing lows.
External swing lows are identified as the lowest points between pivot points in the market structure.
The script utilizes this band to identify potential oversold conditions, triggering entry signals as prices approach or drop below the lower band.
Adjustments Based on User Inputs:
Users can adjust how the upper and lower bands are calculated based on their preferences:
Upper/Lower: This method calculates the average bands using the prices of external swing highs and lows identified in the market.
Percentage Deviation from FRMA: Alternatively, users can opt to calculate the bands based on a percentage deviation from the middle FRMA. This approach provides flexibility to adjust the width of the bands relative to market conditions and volatility.
-----
What's the purpose of using moving averages in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Using moving averages is a widely-used technique to trade with the trend.
The main purpose of using moving averages in this strategy is to filter out bearish price action and to only take trades when the price is trading ABOVE specified moving averages.
The script uses different types of moving averages with user-adjustable timeframes and periods/lengths, allowing traders to try out different variations to maximize strategy performance and minimize drawdowns.
By applying these calculations, the strategy effectively identifies bullish trends and avoids market conditions that are not conducive to profitable trades.
The MA filter allows traders to choose whether they want a specific moving average above or below another one as their entry condition.
This comparison filter can be turned on (>) or off.
For example, you can set the filter so that MA#1 > MA#2, meaning the first moving average must be above the second one before the script looks for entry conditions. This adds an extra layer of trend confirmation, ensuring that trades are only taken in more favorable market conditions.
⍺: MA Period | Σ: MA Timeframe
-----
What entry modes are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
The strategy by default uses two different techniques for the entry criteria with user-adjustable left and right bars: Breakout and Fractal.
1. Breakout Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot high points with a default period of 3.
- It stores the most recent high level in a variable.
- When the price crosses above this most recent level, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot high left bars period | ◨: Pivot high right bars period
2. Fractal Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot low points with a default period of 3.
- When a pivot low is detected, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot low left bars period | ◨: Pivot low right bars period
2. Hunt Entries :
- The strategy identifies a candle that wicks through the lower FRMA band.
- It waits for the next candle to close above the low of the wick candle.
- When this condition is met and the bar is closed, the strategy takes the buy entry.
By utilizing these entry modes, the strategy aims to capitalize on bullish price movements while ensuring that the necessary conditions are met to validate the entry points.
-----
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Initial Stop-Loss:
1. ATR Based:
The Average True Range (ATR) is a method used in technical analysis to measure volatility. It is not used to indicate the direction of price but to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ATR, the True Range (TR) first needs to be identified. The TR takes into account the most current period high/low range as well as the previous period close.
The True Range is the largest of the following:
- Current Period High minus Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High minus Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low minus Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then calculated as the moving average of the TR over a specified period. (The default period is 14).
Example - ATR (14) * 2
⍺: ATR period | Σ: ATR Multiplier
2. ADR Based:
The Average Day Range (ADR) is an indicator that measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ADR for a particular day:
- Calculate the average of the high prices over a specified number of days.
- Calculate the average of the low prices over the same number of days.
- Find the difference between these average values.
- The default period for calculating the ADR is 14 days. A shorter period may introduce more noise, while a longer period may be slower to react to new market movements.
Example - ADR (20) * 2
⍺: ADR period | Σ: ADR Multiplier
3. PL Based:
This method places the stop-loss at the low of the previous candle.
If the current entry is based on the hunt entry strategy, the stop-loss will be placed at the low of the candle that wicks through the lower FRMA band.
Example:
If the previous candle's low is 100, then the stop-loss will be set at 100.
This method ensures the stop-loss is placed just below the most recent significant low, providing a logical and immediate level for risk management.
Application in Strategy (ATR/ADR):
- The strategy calculates the current bar's ADR/ATR with a user-defined period.
- It then multiplies the ADR/ATR by a user-defined multiplier to determine the initial stop-loss level.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop.
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance.
-----
What type of break-even and take profit identification methods are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
For Break-Even:
Percentage (%) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain percentage above the entry.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price * (1 + Percentage / 100)
Example:
If the entry price is $100 and the break-even percentage is 5%, the break-even level is $100 * 1.05 = $105.
Risk-to-Reward (RR) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain RR ratio.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price + (Initial Risk * RR Ratio)
Example:
If the entry price is $100, the initial risk is $10, and the RR ratio is 2, the break-even level is $100 + ($10 * 2) = $120.
FRMA Based:
Moves the stop-loss to break-even when the price hits the FRMA level at which the entry was taken.
Calculation:
Break-even level = FRMA level at the entry
Example:
If the FRMA level at entry is $102, the break-even level is set to $102 when the price reaches $102.
For TP1 (Take Profit 1):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed or 50% if the TP2 boolean is enabled.
- Similar to break-even, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP1 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP2 (Take Profit 2):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed.
- As with break-even and TP1, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP2 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
When Both Percentage (%) Based and RR Based Take Profit Levels Are Off:
The script will adjust the take profit level to the higher FRMA band set within user inputs.
Calculation:
Take profit level = Higher FRMA band length/timeframe specified by the user.
This ensures that when neither percentage-based nor risk-to-reward-based take profit methods are enabled, the strategy defaults to using the higher FRMA band as the take profit level, providing a consistent and structured approach to profit-taking.
For TP1 and TP2, it's specifying the price levels at which the position is partially or fully closed based on the chosen method (percentage or RR) above the entry price.
These calculations are crucial for managing risk and optimizing profitability in the strategy.
⍺: BE/TP type (%/RR) | Σ: how many RR/% above the current price

What's the ADR filter? What does it do? What are the underlying calculations?
The Average Day Range (ADR) measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
The period of the ADR filter used in this strategy is tied to the same period you've used for your initial stop-loss.
Users can define the minimum ADR they want to be met before the script looks for entry conditions.
ADR Bias Filter:
- Compares the current bar ADR with the ADR (Defined by user):
- If the current ADR is higher, it indicates that volatility has increased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬆)
- If the current ADR is lower, it indicates that volatility has decreased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬇)
Calculations:
1. Calculate ADR:
- Average the high prices over the specified period.
- Average the low prices over the same period.
- Find the difference between these average values in %.
2. Current ADR vs. ADR (DbU):
- Calculate the ADR for the current bar.
- Calculate the ADR (DbU).
- Compare the two values to determine if volatility has increased or decreased.
By using the ADR filter, the strategy ensures that trades are only taken in favorable market conditions where volatility meets the user's defined threshold, thus optimizing entry conditions and potentially improving the overall performance of the strategy.
>: Minimum required ADR for entry | %: Current ADR comparison to ADR of 14 days ago.
-----
What's the probability filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability filter is designed to enhance trade entries by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out unfavorable conditions.
This filter helps in identifying optimal entry points where the likelihood of a profitable trade is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
Example - BSL > 55%
-----
What's the range length Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The range length filter identifies the price distance between buyside and sellside liquidity levels in percentage terms. When enabled, the script only looks for entries when the minimum range length is met. This helps ensure that trades are taken in markets with sufficient price movement.
Calculations:
Range Length (%) = ( ( Buyside Level − Sellside Level ) / Current Price ) ×100
Range Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current range price has broken above the previous external swing high.
Bearish Bias: The current range price has broken below the previous external swing low.
Example - Range length filter is enabled | Range must be above 1%
>: Minimum required range length for entry | %: Current range length percentage in a (Bullish/Bearish) range
-----
What's the day filter Filter, what does it do?
The day filter allows users to customize the session time and choose the specific days they want to include in the strategy session. This helps traders tailor their strategies to particular trading sessions or days of the week when they believe the market conditions are more favorable for their trading style.
Customize Session Time:
Users can define the start and end times for the trading session.
This allows the strategy to only consider trades within the specified time window, focusing on periods of higher market activity or preferred trading hours.
Select Days:
Users can select which days of the week to include in the strategy.
This feature is useful for excluding days with historically lower volatility or unfavorable trading conditions (e.g., Mondays or Fridays).
Benefits:
Focus on Optimal Trading Periods:
By customizing session times and days, traders can focus on periods when the market is more likely to present profitable opportunities.
Avoid Unfavorable Conditions:
Excluding specific days or times can help avoid trading during periods of low liquidity or high unpredictability, such as major news events or holidays.
Increased Flexibility: The filter provides increased flexibility, allowing traders to adapt the strategy to their specific needs and preferences.
Example - Day filter | Session Filter
θ: Session time | Exchange time-zone
-----
What tables are available in this script?
Table Type:
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades and more.
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most mean-reversion successful strategies have a percent profitability of 40-80% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- OFF: Hides the performance table.
Profit Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing profit in the performance table, helping to quickly distinguish profitable periods.
Loss Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing loss in the performance table, helping to quickly identify loss-making periods.
These customizable tables provide traders with flexible and detailed performance analysis, aiding in better strategy evaluation and optimization.
-----
User-input styles and customizations:
To facilitate studying historical data, all conditions and rules can be applied to your charts. By plotting background colors on your charts, you'll be able to identify what worked and what didn't in certain market conditions.
Please note that all background colors in the style are disabled by default to enhance visualization.
