Livermore 5-Step Trade Dashboard [t2make]█ OVERVIEW
Jesse Livermore — arguably the greatest stock trader of the 20th century — never entered a trade on impulse. In "How to Trade in Stocks" (1940), he outlined a disciplined, top-down checklist that filtered out noise and kept him on the right side of the market.
This indicator translates Livermore's 5-step pre-trade test into a real-time, on-chart dashboard that automatically evaluates both LONG and SHORT setups simultaneously and tells you which direction has the stronger case — or tells you to sit on your hands.
No manual switching. No guessing. The market speaks, and the dashboard listens.
█ THE 5 STEPS
① MARKET TREND — "There is a time to go long, a time to go short, and a time to go fishing."
Compares fast/slow EMAs on your chosen market index (default: SPY). If the general market isn't trending in a clear direction, there's no trade. Period.
② SECTOR TREND — "Stocks move in groups. You must know which group your stock belongs to."
Checks whether the sector ETF (XLK, XLF, XLE, etc.) is confirming the broader trend. Livermore never fought the group.
③ STOCK ACTION — "The stock must be acting right."
The individual stock must be trending (EMA alignment) AND showing above-average volume. Trend without conviction is just drift.
④ PIVOTAL TIMING — "The pivotal point is where the money is made."
Price must be at or near a pivot high (for longs) or pivot low (for shorts), confirmed by RSI momentum. This is Livermore's famous "line of least resistance" — enter only when the stock is ready to move.
⑤ RISK MANAGEMENT — "Always define your risk before entering a trade."
ATR-based stop-loss, position risk as a percentage, and minimum reward-to-risk ratio. If the math doesn't work, the trade doesn't happen.
█ AUTO DIRECTION
This is the key differentiator. The script scores all 5 steps for both Long AND Short independently, then:
• The side with more passing steps wins
• If tied, the side aligned with the market trend (Step 1) takes priority
• If neither side scores, the dashboard shows "— NONE" — stay flat
The bottom row always displays both scores side by side (e.g., ▲ L 4/5 vs ▼ S 1/5) so you can see the full picture at a glance.
█ DASHBOARD SIGNALS
✅ GO TRADE — 5/5 steps pass. This is your green light.
⚠ ALMOST — 4/5 steps pass. One condition away — watch closely.
⏳ WATCH — 3/5 steps pass. Setup is forming but not ready.
🚫 NO TRADE — Below 3/5. Stay out.
On-chart markers:
🟢 Green ▲ below bar = Long 5/5 triggered
🔴 Red ▼ above bar = Short 5/5 triggered
🟡 Yellow ◆ = 4/5 (almost ready)
Subtle background tint when all 5 pass
█ HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to any stock or ETF chart
2. In settings, set your Market Index (SPY, QQQ, etc.) and Sector ETF to match your stock's sector
3. The dashboard does the rest — auto-detects direction and scores each step
4. Only trade when you see 5/5 PASS
5. Use the calculated Stop and Target levels as starting points for your trade plan
6. Set alerts for 5/5 and 4/5 triggers to get notified across your watchlist
Sector ETF reference: XLK (Tech), XLF (Financials), XLE (Energy), XLV (Healthcare), XLI (Industrials), XLP (Consumer Staples), XLU (Utilities), XLB (Materials), XLRE (Real Estate), XLC (Communications), XLY (Consumer Discretionary)
█ SETTINGS
Dashboard: Position (4 corners), Size (S/M/L), toggle EMAs and levels on/off
Step 1: Market symbol, fast/slow EMA periods
Step 2: Sector ETF symbol, EMA period
Step 3: Stock fast/slow EMA, volume surge multiplier, volume avg period
Step 4: Pivot lookback, RSI toggle, RSI period and OB/OS thresholds
Step 5: Max risk %, min R:R ratio, ATR period and multiplier
█ LIMITATIONS
• This is a checklist tool, not a signal generator — it tells you WHEN conditions align, not WHERE to enter tick-by-tick
• Works best on daily timeframe with stocks and ETFs that have reliable volume data
• Sector ETF must be set manually to match the stock you're analyzing
• Crypto and forex pairs may need adjusted parameters since they lack traditional sector groupings
• Past alignment of all 5 steps does not guarantee future results
█ NOTES
This indicator is inspired by Livermore's principles but is an interpretation, not a literal recreation. Livermore traded in an era before EMAs and RSI existed — he used price action and tape reading. The underlying logic, however, is the same: confirm the market, confirm the group, confirm the stock, wait for the pivot, and define your risk.
"It was never my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting." — Jesse Livermore

1-Min Gold Taylor Technique# 🟡 1-Minute Gold Taylor Trading Technique - Professional Strategy
## 📊 OVERVIEW
The **1-Minute Gold Taylor Trading Technique** is a sophisticated intraday scalping strategy specifically designed for XAUUSD (Gold) on the 1-minute timeframe. This strategy implements George Douglas Taylor's classic 3-Day Trading Cycle adapted for modern algorithmic trading with precise entry and exit rules.
**Best For:** Gold traders, scalpers, and intraday momentum traders
**Timeframe:** 1-minute (optimal), can work on 3-5 minute
**Instrument:** XAUUSD, GC futures

## 🎯 STRATEGY CONCEPT
### Taylor's 3-Day Cycle (Modernized)
This strategy identifies and trades three distinct market phases:
1. **Accumulation Day** - Range-bound consolidation where smart money accumulates positions
2. **Manipulation Day** - Liquidity sweeps and stop-hunts creating high-probability reversal setups
3. **Distribution Day** - Trending continuation where positions are distributed
The strategy automatically detects these phases through price action and provides clear entry signals during the highest-probability setups.

Bollinger Bands with 3SD Volume SegmentationPurpose
This script provides a structured way to analyze how real traded volume distributes across the different volatility zones defined by Bollinger Bands with three standard deviations, it reveals where activity concentrates, how pressure shifts between buyers and sellers, and how market participation behaves as price moves through expanding or contracting volatility regimes. The tool turns the bands into a mechanical segmentation system that exposes the microstructure hidden inside each volatility layer.
How it works
The script calculates Bollinger Bands at one, two, and three standard deviations, then assigns every bar’s volume to the correct volatility zone based on where price closed, it reconstructs buy and sell volume from candle behavior, computes delta as the difference between them, and aggregates these values over the chosen lookback window. Each zone displays total volume, delta, and a dominance percentage that expresses how strongly buyers or sellers controlled that region, all updated dynamically on the most recent bar. For example, if the Mid–U1 zone shows 28,450 contracts with a –2,728 delta and –9.59% dominance, that indicates mild seller control in a normally balanced rotation area, while the L1–Mid zone showing 10,606 contracts, +1,816 delta, and 17.12% dominance signals buyers absorbing pressure and defending the pullback.
Rationale
Volatility zones behave like natural boundaries where liquidity concentrates, where traders commit, hesitate, or get trapped, and where expansions or reversals often originate, so segmenting volume and delta by these zones provides a clearer picture of intent and pressure than raw volume alone. By quantifying how much buying or selling occurred in each volatility layer, the script helps identify continuation, absorption, exhaustion, and imbalance, giving traders a mechanical, objective map of market behavior rather than relying on subjective interpretation.
FVG w/ Correlated ConfirmationThis Pine Script indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart—price gaps between candles where no trading occurred, often signaling potential support or resistance zones. It highlights bullish FVGs (gap ups) and bearish FVGs (gap downs) as colored boxes directly on the chart. The indicator also optionally confirms these FVGs by checking if a correlated asset (e.g., NASDAQ:NDX) shows a similar FVG, increasing confidence. Midpoint lines inside the boxes can be displayed to mark the center of the gap.
Boxes are anchored to the exact candles where the FVG forms and extend rightwards by a user-defined number of bars, remaining fixed and not sliding as new bars form. Correlated FVGs add an extra layer of confirmation from related markets, improving reliability and reducing false signals.

Simply we take the delta between stock performance in the chosen time frame versus the index. Simple but effective!
Institutional ROC + Z-Score HeatmapInstitutional ROC + Z-Score Heatmap
Identifies statistically significant daily price moves by calculating the z-score of the rate of change (ROC) against a configurable historical lookback period. Designed for cross-asset regime monitoring and volatility detection.
How it works:
Calculates the daily percentage change (ROC)
Compares that move to the historical distribution of daily moves
Expresses the result as a z-score (standard deviations from the mean)
Color coding:
Teal: Extreme positive move (>3σ) — rare upside, potential blowoff top
Red: Extreme negative move (<-3σ) — rare downside, potential capitulation
Orange/Lime: Warning zone (2-3σ) — unusual but not extreme
Gray: Normal volatility — nothing actionable
Use cases:
Identify regime shifts across asset classes (equities, crypto, commodities)
Spot potential mean-reversion setups after extreme moves
Monitor cross-asset risk appetite (BTC, XBI, SPY) for tactical hedging signals
Recommended settings:
ROC Length: 1 (daily moves)
Lookback: 252 (1 year) for stable assets, 60-90 for volatile biotech

SAl VWAP LITE SA Final VWAP — LITE (Beginner Guide)
This strategy is designed to only take trades when 3 layers agree:
Market posture (HTF = 1H VWAP direction)
Mid confirmation (MID = 15m VWAP direction)
Execution entry (your chart timeframe signal: SMA trend + VWAP + wick flip + RSI)
It’s built to avoid chop by requiring trend + location + momentum + a reversal wick trigger.
1) What the script does (in plain English)
A Long (green) signal happens only when ALL are true:
✅ HTF VWAP is bullish (price above VWAP on 1H)
✅ MID VWAP is bullish (price above VWAP on 15m)
✅ Execution trend is bullish (SMA3 > SMA8 AND close > SMA8)
✅ Price is above VWAP on your current chart
✅ The prior candle had an upper wick (bearish rejection wick)
✅ RSI is strong (RSI > 55 by default)
A Short (red) signal happens only when ALL are true:
✅ HTF VWAP is bearish (price below VWAP on 1H)
✅ MID VWAP is bearish (price below VWAP on 15m)
✅ Execution trend is bearish (SMA3 < SMA8 AND close < SMA8)
✅ Price is below VWAP on your current chart
✅ The prior candle had a lower wick (bullish rejection wick)
✅ RSI is weak (RSI < 45 by default)
If those aren’t met, candles stay gray = no trade / neutral.
2) How to add it on TradingView (step-by-step)
Open TradingView
Click Pine Editor (bottom panel)
Paste the full script
Click Save
Click Add to chart
Go to Strategy Tester (bottom) to view results
If you want alerts:
You can still create alerts for strategy orders, but it works best if we convert it to an indicator version with alert conditions. (If you want, tell me and I’ll generate that version.)
3) Best instruments to use it on
This type of VWAP+trend+RSI filter works best on instruments with:
High liquidity
Clean trend behavior
Tight spreads / stable fills
Best:
Index futures: NQ / ES
Index ETFs: QQQ / SPY
Very liquid mega caps: AAPL / MSFT / NVDA
Avoid thin stocks or random low-volume names.
4) Best timeframes to run it on (beginner safe)
✅ Recommended execution timeframes (where entries trigger)
1 minute (fast, best if you’re experienced)
3 minute (balanced)
5 minute (most beginner friendly)
✅ Gate timeframes (already built in)
HTF = 60 min
MID = 15 min
These should usually stay as-is.
5) How to interpret the candle colors
Green candle = A valid LONG signal fired on that bar
Red candle = A valid SHORT signal fired on that bar
Gray candle = No signal (do nothing)
This is important: Gray is a feature, not a problem.
Gray means the system is protecting you from chop.
6) What “Strict Mode (HTF=MID)” really means
When Strict Mode = ON:
HTF and MID must agree exactly
This reduces signals but improves quality
When Strict Mode = OFF:
HTF alone can allow direction
More trades, more noise
Beginner rule: keep Strict Mode ON.
7) How to trade it (simple beginner rules)
Long trade rules
Wait for a green candle (signal candle)
Enter at the close of the candle (or next candle open)
Use your stop (your script currently uses TP+SL inside strategy)
Short trade rules
Wait for a red candle
Enter at the close (or next candle open)
Respect stop loss
Most important discipline rule
Do not take trades “because it’s close.”
Take only when the candle is green/red.
8) Why the wick rule is powerful
This is a key “needle shifter.”
Long requires prior bearish wick (upper wick):
That shows sellers tried to push up resistance / reject price — and failed.
If the market is still above VWAP + trend is up, that wick often marks a “dip-then-go” continuation.
Short requires prior bullish wick (lower wick):
Buyers tried to defend and push up — but got rejected.
Under VWAP + downtrend + weak RSI, that wick often becomes the last pullback before continuation down.
So the wick rule helps avoid entering mid-candle or late chase entries.
9) How to avoid the 100-point reversal problem you mentioned
Those big reversals usually come from one of these:
(A) Taking signals inside chop
Fix: keep Strict Mode ON, and keep RSI thresholds.
(B) Trading directly into a major support/resistance zone
Fix:
Avoid entries right at prior day high/low, overnight high/low, or major swing points
Don’t short directly into support; don’t long into resistance
(C) News spikes
Fix:
Avoid trading major news windows (CPI, FOMC, Powell, NFP)
VWAP systems can get steamrolled temporarily during high-impact releases
10) Beginner settings I recommend (starting defaults)
Keep these:
Strict Mode = ✅ ON
RSI Length = 14
RSI Bull > 55
RSI Bear < 45
SMA = 3 & 8 (as you have now)
HTF = 60m, MID = 15m
If you want fewer trades but higher quality:
RSI Bull > 58
RSI Bear < 42
wickMinTicks = 2 (filters tiny meaningless wicks)
11) What you should NOT do (common beginner mistakes)
❌ Don’t take trades when candles are gray
❌ Don’t reverse immediately because the opposite color appears one candle later
❌ Don’t use this as a prediction tool — it’s a confirmation tool
❌ Don’t force trades in low volume periods (midday chop)
12) Best “times of day” to trade it (for index products)
For NQ/ES/QQQ/SPY, the cleanest VWAP trend behavior is usually:
9:35–11:00 ET (best)
1:30–3:30 ET (good)
Avoid 11:30–1:15 ET (chop zone)
Why You Should Monitor the Strategy Report (Very Important)
This script is intentionally published as a strategy, not just an indicator.
That is by design.
The Strategy Tester Report is a core part of how this tool should be evaluated.
When you open the Strategy Tester tab in TradingView, you gain insight into:
Win rate consistency across timeframes
Drawdown behavior during choppy vs trending conditions
How often signals occur (selectivity matters)
Performance differences between 1m, 3m, and 5m charts
The value of the HTF + MID gating logic during high-risk periods
⚠️ Do not judge this tool based on a handful of trades or one session.
Its real value shows up when you observe:
Fewer trades during chop
Cleaner participation during directional sessions
Reduced exposure during regime conflict
This is exactly why the higher-timeframe VWAP posture and RSI/wick filters exist.
🧠 How to Use the Strategy Report Effectively (Beginner Tip)
To properly evaluate the system:
Apply the strategy to one instrument (ex: NQ, ES, QQQ)
Test one execution timeframe at a time (1m, 3m, or 5m)
Keep HTF = 60m and MID = 15m fixed
Review results over multiple days, not single sessions
Pay attention to:
Max drawdown
Trade clustering
Losing streak behavior (this matters more than win rate alone)
This will give you a much more realistic understanding of what the system is designed to do.

Institutional Liquidity MapInstitutional Liquidity Map: Detailed Description
The Core Phi losophy: Mapping vs. Predicting
This indicator serves as a Microstructure Navigation System. Unlike retail indicators that rely on lagged mathematical formulas (like RSI or MACD), this tool identifies the areas of high-interest where institutional orders are clustered. It focuses on the mechanics of liquidity provision and rebalancing, allowing you to see where the "Smart Money" has left a footprint.
Key Modules & Institutional Meaning
Confirmed Liquidity (BSL & SSL): These are the structural anchors. They represent "Liquidity Pools" where retail stop-losses are heavily concentrated. Institutions drive price into these zones to generate the counter-party volume needed to fill their large positions.
Institutional Order Blocks (OB): This module identifies the exact candle where accumulation or distribution occurred. It specifically looks for displacement—a move so fast and strong that it confirms institutional intent rather than retail noise.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) / Imbalances: When price moves too rapidly, it creates a "hole" in the price action where orders weren't fully matched. The market views these as inefficiencies; price is naturally drawn back to these zones to "rebalance" before continuing the trend.
Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Runs): This identifies the "Trap." It marks instances where price wicks past a confirmed high or low to trigger stops, only to close back within the range. This is often the precursor to a massive reversal.
Best Use Case Scenarios
1. The High-Probability "Confluence Cluster"
The most powerful way to use this indicator is by looking for the overlapping of modules.
The Scenario: You see a BSL Sweep occur at a Previous Day High, immediately followed by a Bearish Order Block and a Bearish FVG.
The Strategy : Use the FVG/OB zone as your "Sell Zone." This cluster indicates that institutions have trapped buyers at the high and are now aggressively pushing price lower.
2. Re-entry via "FVG Rebalancing"
When the market is in a strong trend (like your LINK screenshot), price often leaves gaps.
The Scenario: A strong impulsive move breaks structure, leaving an active FVG box.
The Strategy: Do not chase the candle. Wait for the indicator to show price returning to fill that box. This retest of the imbalance is often the safest entry point for trend continuation.
3. Target Selection using "Liquidity Pools"
Retail traders often set arbitrary take-profit targets (e.g., 2%). Institutional traders target Liquidity.
The Scenario: You are in a Short trade.
The Strategy: Look for the nearest Confirmed SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity) line. This is your target. Price is magnetically drawn to these levels because that is where the most sell-stops are located, providing the liquidity for you to exit your short (by buying back) with minimal slippage.
4. Daily Bias Anchor (Session VWAP)
Use the Session VWAP as your "Line in the Sand."
The Strategy: If price is above VWAP, only look for Bullish Order Blocks and SSL Sweeps. If price is below VWAP, prioritize Bearish Order Blocks and BSL Sweeps. This ensures you are always trading in alignment with the institutional "Fair Value" for the day.
EMA 9 13 15 21 50 200EMA Multi Cross Alert System is a multi-moving average indicator designed to help traders quickly identify trend shifts and momentum changes using key Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossover signals.
The script plots six important EMAs (9, 13, 15, 21, 50, and 200) directly on the price chart, allowing traders to monitor short-term, medium-term, and long-term trend alignment in real time.
The indicator automatically generates alerts when critical EMA crossover events occur, helping traders react quickly without constantly watching charts.
CM_EMA Trend Bars + 9/21/34CM_EMA Trend Bars + 9/21/34 is a trend-following momentum indicator designed to clearly visualise market direction and strength using a triple Exponential Moving Average structure.
The indicator combines 9, 21, and 34 EMA calculations to colour price bars based on trend alignment. When faster EMAs are stacked above slower EMAs, bars highlight bullish momentum. When faster EMAs are stacked below slower EMAs, bars reflect bearish momentum. This makes trend conditions instantly readable without cluttering the chart.
By focusing on EMA structure rather than lagging signals, CM_EMA Trend Bars helps traders:
Identify high-probability trend conditions
Stay aligned with momentum
Filter out low-quality countertrend trades
Avoid chop and indecision zones

Trend confirmation
Bias filtering
Trade management and hold decisions
Scalping, day trading, and intraday swing trading
Key features:
Triple EMA logic using 9 / 21 / 34
Clean, non-repainting bar colouring

Strat + 50% Rule TheSTRAT, a niche yet popular trading strategy, was developed by Rob Smith over his 30-year career in the financial markets. The method is praised for its objectivity and systematic approach, while its complexity and unique perspective make it less widely understood. TheSTRAT is a multi-timeframe strategy that focuses on three primary components: Inside Bars, Directional Bars, and Outside Bars. The approach also emphasizes several key principles, including Full Time Frame Continuity, Broadening Formations, and the significance of Inside Bars. With the indicator you will see the numbers on the Bars, you will see the Previous day, week, month Highs and Lows. You will see the table displaying the lastest Strat Bars as well as the 50% rule retracement... If above the previous week 50% the dot will turn green and viceversa if the opposite is true.
