MPF EMA Cross Strategy (8~13~21) by Market Pip FactoryThis script is for a complete strategy to win maximum profit on trades whilst keeping losses at a minimum, using sound risk management at no greater than 1.5%
The 3x EMA Strategy uses the following parameters for trade activation and closure.
1/ Daily Time Frame for trend confirmation
2/ 4 Hourly Time Frame for trend confirmation
3/ 1 Hourly Time Frame for trend confirmation AND trade execution
4/ 3x EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages)
* EMA#1 = 8 EMA (Red Color)
* EMA#2 = 13 EMA (Blue Color)
* EMA#3 = 21 EMA (Orange Color)
5/ Fanning of all 3x EMAs and CrossOver/CrossUnder for Trend Confirmation
6/ Price Action touching an 8 EMA for trade activation
7/ Price Action touching a 21 EMA for trade cancellation BEFORE activation
* For LONG trades: 8 EMA would be ABOVE 21 EMA
* For SHORT trades: 8 EMA would be BELOW 21 EMA
* For trade Cancellation, price action would touch the 21 EMA before trade is activated
* For trade Entry, price action would touch 8 EMA
Once trigger parameter is identified, entry is found by:
a) Price action touches 8 EMA (Candle must Close for confirmed Trade preparation)
b) Trade preparation can be cancelled before trade is activated if price action touches 21 EMA
c) Trailing Stop Loss can be used (optional) by counting back 5 candles from current candle
CLOSURE of a Trade is identified by:
e) 8 EMA crossing the 21 EMA, then close trade, no matter LONG or SHORT
f) Trail Stop Loss
IMPORTANT:
g) No more than ONE activated trade per EMA crossover
h) No more than ONE active trade per pair
NOTE: This strategy is to be used in conjunction with Cipher Twister (my other indicator) to reduce trades on
sideways price action and market trends for super high win ratio.
NOTE: Enabling of LONGs and SHORTs Via Cipher Twister is done by using the previous
green or red dot made. Additionally, when the trend changes, so do the dot's validity based
on being above or below the 0 centerline.
----------------------------
Strategy and Bot Logic
----------------------------
.....::: FOR SHORT TRADES ONLY :::.....
The Robot must use the following logic to enable and activate the SHORT trades:
Parameters:
$(crossunder)=8EMA,21EMA=Bearish $(crossover)=8EMA,21EMA=Bullish $entry=SELL STOP ORDER (Short)
$EMA#1 = 8 EMA (Red Color) $EMA#2 = 13 EMA (Blue Color) $EMA#3 = 21 EMA (Orange Color)
Strategy Logic:
1/ Check Daily Time Frame for trend confirmation if:
(look back up to 50 candles - find last cross of EMAs)
$(chart)=daily and trend=$(crossunder) then goto 2/ *Means: crossunder = ema21 > ema8
$(chart)=daily and trend=$(crossover) then stop (No trades) *Means: crossover = ema8 > ema21
NOTE: This function is switchable. 0=off and 1=on(active). Default = 1 (on)
2/ Check 4 Hourly Time Frame for trend confirmation if:
(look back up to 50 candles - find last cross of EMAs)
$(chart)=4H and trend=$(crossunder) then goto 3/ *Means: crossunder = ema21 > ema8
$(chart)=4H and trend=$(crossover) then stop (No trades) *Means: crossover = ema8 > ema21
NOTE: This function is switchable. 0=off and 1=on(active). Default = 1 (on)
3/ 1 Hourly Time Frame for trend confirmation AND trade execution if:
(look back up to 50 candles - find last cross of EMAs)
$(chart)=1H and trend=$(crossunder) then goto 4/ *Means: crossunder = ema21 > ema8
$(chart)=1H and trend=$(crossover) then stop (No trades) *Means: crossover = ema8 > ema21
4/ Trade preparation:
* if Next (subsequent) candle touches 8EMA, then set STOP LOSS and ENTRY
* $stoploss=3 pips ABOVE current candle HIGH
* $entry=3 pips BELOW current candle LOW
5/ Trade waiting (ONLY BEFORE entry is hit and trade activated):
* if price action touches 21 EMA then cancel trade and goto 1/
Note: Once trade is active this function does not apply !
6/ Trade Activation:
* if price activates/hits ENTRY price, then bot activates trade SHORTs market
7/ Optional Trailing stop:
* if active, then trailing stop 3 pips ABOVE previous HIGH of previous 5th candle
or * Move Stop Loss to Break Even after $X number of pips
NOTE: This means count back and apply accordingly to the 5th previous candle from current candle.
NOTE: This function is switchable. 0=off and 1=on(active). Default = 0 (off)
8/ Trade Close ~ Take Profit:
* Only TP when
$(chart)=1H and trend=$(crossover) then close trade ~ Or obviously if Stop Loss is hit if 7/ is activated.
----------END FOR SHORT TRADES LOGIC----------
.....::: FOR LONG TRADES ONLY :::.....
The Robot must use the following logic to enable and activate the LONG trades:
Parameters:
$(crossunder)=8EMA,21EMA=Bearish $(crossover)=8EMA,21EMA=Bullish $entry=BUY STOP ORDER (Long)
$EMA#1 = 8 EMA (Red Color) $EMA#2 = 13 EMA (Blue Color) $EMA#3 = 21 EMA (Orange Color)
Strategy Logic:
1/ Check Daily Time Frame for trend confirmation if:
(look back up to 50 candles - find last cross of EMAs)
$(chart)=daily and trend=$(crossover) then goto 2/ *Means: crossover = ema8 > ema21
$(chart)=daily and trend=$(crossunder) then stop (No trades) *Means: crossunder = ema21 > ema8
NOTE: This function is switchable. 0=off and 1=on(active). Default = 1 (on)
2/ Check 4 Hourly Time Frame for trend confirmation if:
(look back up to 50 candles - find last cross of EMAs)
$(chart)=4H and trend=$(crossover) then goto 3/ *Means: crossover = ema8 > ema21
$(chart)=4H and trend=$(crossunder) then stop (No trades) *Means: crossunder = ema21 > ema8
NOTE: This function is switchable. 0=off and 1=on(active). Default = 1 (on)
3/ 1 Hourly Time Frame for trend confirmation AND trade execution if:
(look back up to 50 candles - find last cross of EMAs)
$(chart)=1H and trend=$(crossover) then goto 4/ *Means: crossover = ema8 > ema21
$(chart)=1H and trend=$(crossunder) then stop (No trades) *Means: crossunder = ema21 > ema8
4/ Trade preparation:
* if Next (subsequent) candle touches 8EMA, then set STOP LOSS and ENTRY
* $stoploss=3 pips BELOW current candle LOW
* $entry=3 pips ABOVE current candle HIGH
5/ Trade waiting (ONLY BEFORE entry is hit and trade activated):
* if price action touches 21 EMA then cancel trade and goto 1/
Note: Once trade is active this function does not apply !
6/ Trade Activation:
* if price activates/hits ENTRY price, then bot activates trade LONGs market
7/ Optional Trailing stop:
* if active, then trailing stop 3 pips BELOW previous LOW of previous 5th candle
or * Move Stop Loss to Break Even after $X number of pips
NOTE: This means count back and apply accordingly to the 5th previous candle from current candle.
NOTE: This function is switchable. 0=off and 1=on(active). Default = 0 (off)
8/ Trade Close ~ Take Profit:
* Only TP when
$(chart)=1H and trend=$(crossunder) then close trade ~ Or obviously if Stop Loss is hit if 7/ is activated.
----------END FOR LONG TRADES LOGIC----------
IMPORTANT:
* If an existing trade is already open for that same pair, & price action touches 8EMA, do NOT open a new trade..
* bot must continuously check if a trade is currently open on the pair that triggers
* New trades are to be only opened if there is no active trade opened on current pair.
* Only 1 trade per pair rule !
* 5 simultaneous open trades (not same pairs) default = 5 but value can be changed accordingly.
* Maximum risk management must not exceed 1.5% on lot size

Buscar en scripts para "Trailing stop"
Bjorgum AutoTrailOne Time Trade Risk Management
Incorporating the new interactive feature, this script is meant as a one time trailing stop for the active trader to manage positional risk of an ongoing trade. As a crypto trader or Fx trader, many may find themselves in a position late into the evening, or perhaps daily life is calling while a trade progresses in their favor. Adding a trailing stop to a position thats trending can help to keep you in the trade and lock in gains if things turn around when you are unable to react.
To use the trail, the user would add the script to the chart. Once added, a set of crosshairs will appear allowing the user to choose a point to begin. Often choosing to start a trail from a swing high/ low can be an ideal option. This tends to provide some protection for a stop by placing it under support for a long trade or above resistance for a short trade.
Price based trail
The trail will automatically plot and the offset is a factor of the distance from price action selected by the crosshairs. If placed above price action the script will plot a short trail, if placed below it will trail for a long position.
Additionally, there are several other trail types other than price based. There is also percent based, which offsets the trail as a percent from close. A hard stop is placed at the cross hair value, then once the distance is exceeded by the percentage specified, the trail begins.
There are 2 more volatility based trails. There is a PSAR trail which can provide quicker and tighter stops that accelerate with the trend locking in gains faster, and an ATR trail that keeps a distance from price action as a function of volatility. Volatility levels can be adjusted from the menu.
Volatility based trail (ATR)
Volatility based trail (PSAR)
Lastly, within the code for more the more technical savvy, is some starting setups for string alerts to be sent to exchanges via 3rd party or custom API applications. Some string manipulation is required for specific providers to meet their requirements, but there is some building block alerts that will take the ticker symbol, recognize the asset your trading (Fx, Crypto, etc) and take input quantity or exchange names from the settings via inputs.
Complex strings can be built to perform almost any trade related task when to comes to alerts via web hook. A little setup this way with some technology to back your system can mean a semi-automated half man, half machine setup that actually manages your trail stop while you cannot. For those that don’t go this far, there is some basic alert functionality that well trigger when a trail is hit so you can react and make a decision.
Please note that for now, interactive mode is engaged only when the script is added to the chart. Additional stops, or for adjustments to be made it is best to add a new version. Also as real trades could be at play managing an actual position, alerts are designed to go off only once to ensure no duplicate orders are sent meaning alerts are not reoccurring. Once an alert is triggered, a new trail is to be set up.
A modified version of the TradingView built in SAR equation was used in this script. To provide the value of the SAR on the stop candle, it was necessary to alter the equation to extract this value as the regular SAR “flips” at this point. Thank you to TradingView for supplying access to the built in formula so that this SAR could behave the same as the built-in function outside of these alterations
Example of SAR value maintained in trigger candle
Cheers and happy trading.

Fibonacci-Trading-Indicator_2 (Code-Änderung)Tägliche Gewinne mit dem Fibonacci-Trading Indikator
Die Notierungen bewegen sich in liquiden Märkten in Fibonacci-Verhältnissen. Mit diesem Indikator erhalten Sie für Tagesgeschäfte und für Positionstrades auf Basis einer Woche oder eines Monats Informationen, wo Sie in den Markt einsteigen sollten und was das mindeste erreichbare Kursziel ist. Dieses Kursziel liegt bei 61,8% der gestrigen Handelspanne, der Handelspanne der Vorwoche oder der Handelspanne des Vormonats. Dort realisieren Sie Ihre Gewinne.
Erforderliche Eingaben im Eigenschaftenfenster des Indikators:
• Vorwahl Aufwärtstrend/ Abwärtstrend.
• Zeitrahmen des Kursbalkens für das zu ermittelnde mögliche Hoch/ Tief.
• Handelspanne der vorherigen Periode.
• Aktuell tiefstes Tief des vorgewählten Zeitrahmens, wenn die Notierungen steigen.
• Aktuell höchstes Hoch des vorgewählten Zeitrahmens, wenn die Notierungen fallen.
Für die Erkennung der Bewegungsrichtung kann der Camelback-Indikator eine gute Hilfe sein.
Ausgaben im Chart sind die möglichen Kurslevels, für das mögliche Hoch oder Tief des Kursbalkens im eingestellten Zeitrahmen des Trading-Indikators.
Wichtige Bereiche für das Trading sind folgende Kurslevels:
• Einstiegsbereich 0% - 14,6% oder 0% - 23,6%
• Kursziellevel 61,8%
Kaufen/ verkaufen Sie innerhalb des Einstiegsbereichs zwischen 0% und 23,6%, während der Markt die Bewegungsrichtung vorgibt und sich in Richtung des long-/ oder short-Einstiegspunktes bewegt. Das sind jeweils die Kurslevels bei 14,6% oder 23,6%. Der 61,8%-Kurslevel ist das mindeste erwartbare Kursziel. Wir gehen davon aus, dass der aktuelle Kursbalken mindestens 61,8% der Handelsspanne, der vorherigen Periode erreichen wird. Realisieren Sie deshalb die angelaufenen Gewinne mit 50% der Position, wenn die Notierungen den 61,8% - Level erreicht haben. Mit einem geeigneten Trailing-Stopp lassen Sie sich mit der restlichen Position ausstoppen, riskieren Sie dafür aber nicht mehr als 50 % der angelaufenen Gewinne.
Wählen Sie einen kleinen Zeitrahmen, wenn sich die Notierungen noch im Einstiegsbereich bewegen, um die Richtung des Kursbalkens zu erkennen. Für Positionstrades auf Wochen- oder Monatssicht wird für den Einstieg der Einstiegsbereich 0% - bis 14,6% gewählt. Für Tagesgeschäfte (Zeitrahmen Tag vorgewählt) wird wegen der geringeren Tageshandelspanne der Einstiegsbereich 0% - 23,6% empfohlen.
Mit der Vorwahl Jahr und den entsprechenden Eingaben kann auch das mindeste erwartbare Jahreshoch/ Jahrestief ermittelt werden.
Die Fibonacci-Kurslevels lassen sich ein- und ausblenden. Klicken Sie im Chart auf das Zahnrad für „Chart Einstellungen“. Im Menü „Skalierungen“ kann mit der Vorwahl „Label für Indikatornahmen“ und „Label für letzten Indikatorwert“ die Kurslevels angezeigt werden. Schieben Sie den Chart nach rechts um Unterstützungen und Widerstände an den Kurslevels zu finden.
Bei Eingabefehlern oder fehlenden Eingaben zu einem Zeitrahmen wird der Indikator ausgeblendet.
Achten Sie zur Vermeidung von Verlusten auf ihr Handelsmanagement.
Daily profits with the Fibonacci trading indicator
The quotes move in Fibonacci ratios in liquid markets. With this indicator you receive information for daily trades and position trades based on a week or a month, where you should enter the market and what is the minimum price target that you can achieve. This price target is 61.8% of yesterday's trading range, the trading range of the previous week or the trading range of the previous month.
There you realize your profits.Required entries in the properties window of the indicator:
• Preselection uptrend / downtrend.
• Time frame of the price bar for the possible high / low to be determined.
• previous period trading range.
• Current lowest low of the selected time frame when prices rise.
• Current highest high in the selected time frame when prices fall.
The camelback indicator can be of great help in recognizing the direction of movement.
Outputs in the chart are the possible price levels for the possible high or low of the price bar in the set time frame of the trading indicator.
The following price levels are important areas for trading:
• Entry range 0% - 14.6% or 0% - 23.6%
• Target price level 61.8%
Buy / sell within the entry range between 0% and 23.6% as the market sets the direction of movement and moves towards the long / or short entry point. These are the price levels at 14.6% or 23.6%. The 61.8% price level is the minimum expected price target. We assume that the current bar will reach at least 61.8% of the trading range of the previous period. You should therefore realize the profits you have made with 50% of the position when the prices have reached the 61.8% level. With a suitable trailing stop you can be stopped with the rest of the position, but do not risk more than 50% of the profits.
Choose a small time frame when the quotes are still moving in the entry area to see the direction of the price bar. For position trades on a weekly or monthly perspective, the entry range 0% - to 14.6% is chosen. For day-to-day trades (pre-selected time frame), the entry range 0% - 23.6% is recommended due to the lower daily trading range.With the preselection year and the corresponding entries, the minimum expected annual high / annual low can also be determined.
The Fibonacci price levels can be shown and hidden. In the chart click on the gear wheel for “Chart Settings”. In the “Scaling” menu, the price levels can be displayed with the preselection “Label for indicator names” and “Label for last indicator value”. Slide the chart to the right to find support and resistance at the price levels.
In the event of input errors or missing entries for a time frame, the indicator is hidden.
Pay attention to your trade management to avoid losses.
Parabolic SAR & Arnoud Legoux Moving Avarage StrategyIn the first short signal example, after price closes below the ALMA and the parabolic SAR plots above the price high, sell signal is opened with the stops trailed to the PSAR values until the trade is stopped out.
Similarly, you can see a long position where price cuts above the ALMA and the Parabolic SAR plots below the price low. Using these values as the trailing stop levels, we can stay long into the trade until the trade is stopped out.
Find out optimal values by trying. May not produce accurate results in horizontal markets. Thank you.
SuperBandsI've been seeing a lot of volatility band indicators pop up recently, and after watching this trend for a while, I figured it was time to throw my two chips in. The original spark for this idea came years ago from RicardoSantos's Vector Flow Channel script, which used decay channels with timed events in an interesting way. That concept stuck with me, and I kept thinking about how to build something that captured the same kind of dynamic envelope behavior but with a different mathematical foundation. What I ended up with is a hybrid that takes the core logic of supertrend trailing stops, smooths them heavily with exponential moving averages, and wraps them in Donchian-style filled bands with momentum-based color gradients.
The basic mechanism here is pretty straightforward. Standard supertrend calculates a trailing stop based on ATR offset from price, then flips direction when price crosses the trail. This implementation does the same thing but adds EMA smoothing to the trail calculation itself, which removes a lot of the choppiness you get from raw supertrend during sideways periods. The smoothing period is adjustable, so you can tune how reactive versus stable you want the bands to be. Lower smoothing values make the bands track price more aggressively, higher values create wider, slower-moving envelopes that only respond to sustained directional moves.
Where this diverges from typical supertrend implementations is in the visual presentation and the separate treatment of bullish and bearish conditions. Instead of a single flipping line, you get persistent upper and lower bands that each track their own trailing stops independently. The bullish band trails below price and stays active as long as price doesn't break below it. The bearish band trails above price and remains active until price breaks above. Both bands can be visible simultaneously, which gives you a dynamic channel that adapts to volatility on both sides of price action. When price is trending strongly, one band will dominate and the other will disappear. During consolidation, both bands tend to compress toward price.
The color gradients are calculated by measuring the rate of change in each band's position and converting that delta into an angle using arctangent scaling. Steeper angles, which correspond to the band moving quickly to catch up with accelerating price, get brighter colors. Flatter angles, where the band is moving slowly or staying relatively stable, fade toward more muted tones. This gives you a visual sense of momentum within the bands themselves, not just from price movement. A rapidly brightening band often precedes expansion or breakout conditions, while fading colors suggest the trend is losing steam or entering consolidation.
The filled regions between price and each band serve a similar function to Donchian channels or Keltner bands, creating clearly defined zones that represent normal price behavior relative to recent volatility. When price hugs one band and the fill area compresses, you're in a strong directional regime. When price bounces between both bands and the fills expand, you're in a ranging environment. The transparency gradients in the fills make it easier to see when price is near the edge of the envelope versus safely inside it.
Configuration is split between bullish and bearish settings, which lets you asymmetrically tune the indicator if you find that your market or timeframe has different characteristics in uptrends versus downtrends. You can adjust ATR period, ATR multiplier, and smoothing independently for each direction. This flexibility is useful for instruments that exhibit different volatility profiles during bull and bear phases, or for strategies that want tighter trailing on longs than shorts, or vice versa.
The ATR period controls the lookback window for volatility measurement. Shorter periods make the bands react quickly to recent volatility spikes, which can be beneficial in fast-moving markets but also leads to more frequent whipsaws. Longer periods smooth out volatility estimates and create more stable bands at the cost of slower adaptation. The multiplier scales the ATR offset, directly controlling how far the bands sit from price. Smaller multipliers keep the bands tight, triggering more frequent direction changes. Larger multipliers create wider envelopes that give price more room to move without breaking the trail.
One thing to note is that this indicator doesn't generate explicit buy or sell signals in the traditional sense. It's a regime filter and envelope tool. You can use band breaks as directional cues if you want, but the primary value comes from understanding the current volatility environment and whether price is respecting or violating its recent behavioral boundaries. Pairing this with momentum oscillators or volume analysis tends to work better than treating band breaks as standalone entries.
From an implementation perspective, the supertrend state machine tracks whether each direction's trail is active, handles resets when price breaks through, and manages the EMA smoothing on the trail points themselves rather than just post-processing the supertrend output. This means the smoothing is baked into the trailing logic, which creates a different response curve than if you just applied an EMA to a standard supertrend line. The angle calculations use RMS estimation for the delta normalization range, which adapts to changing volatility and keeps the color gradients responsive across different market conditions.
What this really demonstrates is that there are endless ways to combine basic technical concepts into something that feels fresh without reinventing mathematics. ATR offsets, trailing stops, EMA smoothing, and Donchian fills are all standard building blocks, but arranging them in a particular way produces behavior that's distinct from each component alone. Whether this particular arrangement works better than other volatility band systems depends entirely on your market, timeframe, and what you're trying to accomplish. For me, it scratched the itch I had from seeing Vector Flow years ago and wanting to build something in that same conceptual space using tools I'm more comfortable with.
Forecast PriceTime Oracle [CHE] Forecast PriceTime Oracle — Prioritizes quality over quantity by using Power Pivots via RSI %B metric to forecast future pivot highs/lows in price and time
Summary
This indicator identifies potential pivot highs and lows based on out-of-bounds conditions in a modified RSI %B metric, then projects future occurrences by estimating time intervals and price changes from historical medians. It provides visual forecasts via diagonal and horizontal lines, tracks achievement with color changes and symbols, and displays a dashboard for statistical overview including hit rates. Signals are robust due to median-based aggregation, which reduces outlier influence, and optional tolerance settings for near-misses, making it suitable for anticipating reversals in ranging or trending markets.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard pivot detection often lags or generates false signals in volatile conditions, missing the timing of true extrema. This design leverages out-of-bounds excursions in RSI %B to capture "Power Pivots" early—focusing on quality over quantity by prioritizing significant extrema rather than every minor swing—then uses historical deltas in time and price to forecast the next ones, addressing the need for proactive rather than reactive analysis. It assumes that pivot spacing follows statistical patterns, allowing users to prepare entries or exits ahead of confirmation.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from traditional ta.pivothigh/low, which require fixed left/right lengths and confirm only after bars close, often too late for dynamic markets.
- Architecture differences:
- Detects extrema during OOB runs rather than post-bar symmetry.
- Aggregates deltas via medians (or alternatives) over a user-defined history, capping arrays to manage resources.
- Applies tolerance thresholds for hit detection, with options for percentage, absolute, or volatility-adjusted (ATR) flexibility.
- Freezes achieved forecasts with visual states to avoid clutter.
- Practical effect: Charts show proactive dashed projections instead of retrospective dots; the dashboard reveals evolving hit rates, helping users gauge reliability over time without manual calculation.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a smoothed RSI over a specified length, then applies Bollinger Bands to derive %B, flagging out-of-bounds below zero or above one hundred as potential run starts. During these runs, it tracks the extreme high or low price and bar index. Upon exit from the OOB state, it confirms the Power Pivot at that extreme and records the time delta (bars since prior) and price change percentage to rolling arrays.
For forecasts, it calculates the median (or selected statistic) of recent deltas, subtracts the confirmation delay (bars from apex to exit), and projects ahead by that adjusted amount. Price targets use the median change applied to the origin pivot value. Lines are drawn from the apex to the target bar and price, with a short horizontal at the endpoint. Arrays store up to five active forecasts, pruning oldest on overflow.
Tolerance adjusts hit checks: for highs, if the high reaches or exceeds the target (adjusted by tolerance); for lows, if the low drops to or below. Once hit, the forecast freezes, changing colors and symbols, and extends the horizontal to the hit bar. Persistent variables maintain last pivot states across bars; arrays initialize empty and grow until capped at history length.
Parameter Guide
Source: Specifies the data input for the RSI computation, influencing how price action is captured. Default is close. For conservative signals in noisy environments, switch to high; using low boosts responsiveness but may increase false positives.
RSI Length: Sets the smoothing period for the RSI calculation, with longer values helping to filter out whipsaws. Default is 32. Opt for shorter lengths like 14 to 21 on faster timeframes for quicker reactions, or extend to 50 or more in strong trends to enhance stability at the cost of some lag.
BB Length: Defines the period for the Bollinger Bands applied to %B, directly affecting how often out-of-bounds conditions are triggered. Default is 20. Align it with the RSI length: shorter periods detect more potential runs but risk added noise, while longer ones provide better filtering yet might overlook emerging extrema.
BB StdDev: Controls the multiplier for the standard deviation in the bands, where wider settings reduce false out-of-bounds alerts. Default is 2.0. Narrow it to 1.5 for highly volatile assets to catch more signals, or broaden to 2.5 or higher to emphasize only major movements.
Show Price Forecast: Enables or disables the display of diagonal and target lines along with their updates. Default is true. Turn it off for simpler chart views, or keep it on to aid in trade planning.
History Length: Determines the number of recent pivot samples used for median-based statistics, where more history leads to smoother but potentially less current estimates. Default is 50. Start with a minimum of 5 to build data; limit to 100 to 200 to prevent outdated regimes from skewing results.
Max Lookahead: Limits the number of bars projected forward to avoid overly extended lines. Default is 500. Reduce to 100 to 200 for intraday focus, or increase for longer swing horizons.
Stat Method: Selects the aggregation technique for time and price deltas: Median for robustness against outliers, Trimmed Mean (20%) for a balanced trim of extremes, or 75th Percentile for a conservative upward tilt. Default is Median. Use Median for even distributions; switch to Percentile when emphasizing potential upside in trending conditions.
Tolerance Type: Chooses the approach for flexible hit detection: None for exact matches, Percentage for relative adjustments, Absolute for fixed point offsets, or ATR for scaling with volatility. Default is None. Begin with Percentage at 0.5 percent for currency pairs, or ATR for adapting to cryptocurrency swings.
Tolerance %: Provides the relative buffer when using Percentage mode, forgiving small deviations. Default is 0.5. Set between 0.2 and 1.0 percent; higher values accommodate gaps but can overstate hit counts.
Tolerance Points: Establishes a fixed offset in price units for Absolute mode. Default is 0.0010. Tailor to the asset, such as 0.0001 for forex pairs, and validate against past wick behavior.
ATR Length: Specifies the period for the Average True Range in dynamic tolerance calculations. Default is 14. This is the standard setting; shorten to 10 to reflect more recent volatility.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the ATR scale for tolerance width in ATR mode. Default is 0.5. Range from 0.3 for tighter precision to 0.8 for greater leniency.
Dashboard Location: Positions the summary table on the chart. Default is Bottom Right. Consider Top Left for better visibility on mobile devices.
Dashboard Size: Controls the text scaling for dashboard readability. Default is Normal. Choose Tiny for dense overlays or Large for detailed review sessions.
Text/Frame Color: Sets the color scheme for dashboard text and borders. Default is gray. Align with your chart theme, opting for lighter shades on dark backgrounds.
Reading & Interpretation
Forecast lines appear as dashed diagonals from confirmed pivots to projected targets, with solid horizontals at endpoints marking price levels. Open targets show a target symbol (🎯); achieved ones switch to a trophy symbol (🏆) in gray, with lines fading to gray. The dashboard summarizes median time/price deltas, sample counts, and hit rates—rising rates indicate improving forecast alignment. Colors differentiate highs (red) from lows (lime); frozen states signal validated projections.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on low forecast hits during uptrends (higher highs/lower lows structure); filter with EMA crossovers to ignore counter-trend signals.
- Reversal setups: Short above high projections in overextended rallies; use volume spikes as confirmation to reduce false breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Trail stops to prior pivot lows; conservative on low hit rates (below 50%), aggressive above 70% with tight tolerance.
- Multi-TF: Apply on 1H for entries, 4H for time projections; combine with Ichimoku clouds for confluence on targets.
- Risk management: Position size inversely to delta uncertainty (wider history = smaller bets); avoid low-liquidity sessions.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Confirmation occurs on OOB exit, so live-bar pivots may adjust until close, but projections update only on events to minimize repaint. No security or HTF calls, so no external lookahead issues. Arrays cap at history length with shifts; forecasts limited to five active, pruning FIFO. Loops iterate over small fixed sizes (e.g., up to 50 for stats), efficient on most hardware. Max lines/labels at 500 prevent overflow.
Known limits: Sensitive to OOB parameter tuning—too tight misses runs; assumes stationary pivot stats, which may shift in regime changes like low vol. Gaps or holidays distort time deltas.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit forex/crypto on 1H–4H: RSI 32/BB 20 for balanced detection, Median stats over 50 samples, None tolerance for exactness.
- Too many false runs: Increase BB StdDev to 2.5 or RSI Length to 50 for filtering.
- Lagging forecasts: Shorten History Length to 20; switch to 75th Percentile for forward bias.
- Missed near-hits: Enable Percentage tolerance at 0.3% to capture wicks without overcounting.
- Cluttered charts: Reduce Max Lookahead to 200; disable dashboard on lower TFs.

Adaptive Trend Breaks Adaptive Trend Breaks
## WHAT IT DOES
This script is a modified and enhanced version of "Trendline Breakouts With Targets" concept by ChartPrime.
Adaptive Trend Breaks (ATB) is a trendline breakout system optimized for scalping liquid futures contracts. The indicator automatically draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on pivot points, then generates trade signals when price breaks through these levels with confirmation filters. It includes automated target and stop-loss placement with real-time P&L tracking in dollars.
## HOW IT WORKS
**Trendline Detection Method:**
The indicator uses pivot high/low detection to identify significant price turning points. When a new pivot forms, it calculates the slope between consecutive pivots to draw dynamic trendlines. These lines extend forward based on the established trend angle, creating actionable support and resistance zones.
**Band System:**
Around each trendline, the script creates a "band" using a volatility-adjusted calculation: `ATR(14) * 0.2 * bandwidth multiplier / 2`. This adaptive band accounts for current market conditions - wider during volatile periods, tighter during quiet markets.
**Breakout Logic:**
A breakout signal triggers when:
1. Price closes beyond the trendline + band zone
2. Volume exceeds the 20-period moving average by your set multiplier (default 1.2x)
3. Price is within Regular Trading Hours (9:30-16:00 EST) if session filter enabled
4. Current ATR meets minimum volatility threshold (prevents trading dead markets)
**Target & Stop Calculation:**
Upon breakout confirmation:
- **Entry**: Trendline breach point
- **Target**: Entry ± (bandwidth × target multiplier) - default 8x for quick scalps
- **Stop**: Entry ± (bandwidth × stop multiplier) - default 8x for 1:1 risk/reward
- Multipliers adjust automatically to market volatility through the ATR-based band
**P&L Conversion:**
The script converts point movements to dollars using:
```
Dollar P&L = (Price Points × Contract Point Value × Quantity)
```
For example, a 10-point NQ move with 2 contracts = 10 × $20 × 2 = $400
## HOW TO USE IT
**Setup:**
1. Select your instrument (NQ/ES/YM/RTY) - point values auto-configure
2. Set contract quantity for accurate dollar P&L
3. Choose pivot period (lower = more signals but more noise, default 5 for scalping)
4. Adjust bandwidth multiplier if trendlines are too tight/loose (1-5 range)
**Filters Configuration:**
- **Volume Filter**: Requires breakout volume > moving average × multiplier. Increase multiplier (1.5-2.0) for higher conviction trades
- **Session Filter**: Enable to trade only RTH. Disable for 24-hour trading
- **ATR Filter**: Prevents signals during low volatility. Increase minimum % for more active markets only
**Risk Management:**
- Set target/stop multipliers based on your risk tolerance
- 8x bandwidth = approximately 1:1 risk/reward for most liquid futures
- Enable trailing stops for trend-following approach (moves stop to protect profits)
- Adjust line length to see targets further into the future
**Statistics Table:**
- Choose timeframe to analyze: all-time, today, this week, custom days
- Monitor win rate, profit factor, and net P&L in dollars
- Track long vs short performance separately
- See real-time unrealized P&L on active trades
**Reading Signals:**
- **Green triangle below bar** = Long breakout (resistance broken)
- **Red triangle above bar** = Short breakout (support broken)
- **White dashed line** = Entry price
- **Orange line** = Take profit target with dollar value
- **Red line** = Stop loss with dollar value
- **Green checkmark (✓)** = Target hit, winning trade
- **Red X (✗)** = Stop hit, losing trade
## WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
**Limitations to Understand:**
- Does not predict future trendline formations - it reacts to breakouts after they occur
- Historical trendlines disappear after breakout (not kept on chart for clarity)
- Requires sufficient volatility - may not signal in extremely quiet markets
- Volume filter requires exchange volume data (not available on all symbols)
- Statistics are indicator-based simulations, not actual trading results
- Does not account for slippage, commissions, or order fills
## BEST PRACTICES
**Recommended Settings by Market:**
- **NQ (Nasdaq)**: Default settings work well, consider volume multiplier 1.3-1.5
- **ES (S&P 500)**: Slightly slower, try period 7-8, volume 1.2
- **YM (Dow)**: Lower volatility, reduce bandwidth to 1.5-2
- **RTY (Russell)**: Higher volatility, increase bandwidth to 3-4
**Risk Management:**
- Never risk more than 2-3% of account per trade
- Use contract quantity calculator: Max Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × Point Value)
- Start with 1 contract while learning the system
- Backtest your specific timeframe and instrument before live trading
**Optimization Tips:**
- Increase pivot period (7-10) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- Raise volume multiplier (1.5-2.0) in choppy markets
- Lower target/stop multipliers (5-6x) for tighter profit taking
- Use trailing stops in strong trending conditions
- Disable session filter for overnight gaps and Asia session moves
## TECHNICAL DETAILS
**Key Calculations:**
- Pivot Detection: `ta.pivothigh(high, period, period/2)` and `ta.pivotlow(low, period, period/2)`
- Slope Calculation: `(newPivot - oldPivot) / (newTime - oldTime)`
- Adaptive Band: `min(ATR(14) * 0.2, close * 0.002) * multiplier / 2`
- Breakout Confirmation: Price crosses trendline + 10% of band threshold
**Data Requirements:**
- Minimum bars in view: 500 for proper pivot calculation
- Volume data required for volume filter accuracy
- Intraday timeframes recommended (1min - 15min) for scalping
- Works on any timeframe but optimized for fast execution
**Performance Metrics:**
All statistics calculate based on indicator signals:
- Tracks every signal as a trade from entry to TP/SL
- P&L in actual contract dollar values
- Win rate = (Winning trades / Total trades) × 100
- Profit factor = Gross profit / Gross loss
- Separates long/short performance for bias analysis
## IDEAL FOR
- Futures scalpers and day traders
- Traders who prefer visual trendline breakouts
- Those wanting automated TP/SL placement
- Traders tracking performance in dollar terms
- Multiple timeframe analysis (compare 1min vs 5min signals)
## NOT SUITABLE FOR
- Swing trading (targets too close)
- Stocks/forex without modifying point values
- Extremely low timeframes (<30 seconds) - too much noise
- Markets without volume data if using volume filter
- Illiquid contracts (signals may not execute at shown prices)

**Settings Summary:**
- Core: Period, bandwidth, extension, trendline style
- Filters: Volume, RTH session, ATR volatility
- Risk: R:R ratio, target/stop multipliers, trailing stop
- Display: Stats table position, size, colors
- Stats: Timeframe selection (all-time to custom days)

RSI Donchian Channel [DCAUT]█ RSI Donchian Channel
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Donchian Channel represents an important synthesis of two complementary analytical frameworks: momentum oscillators and breakout detection systems. This indicator addresses a common limitation in traditional RSI analysis by replacing fixed overbought/oversold thresholds with adaptive zones derived from historical RSI extremes.
Key Enhancement:
Traditional RSI analysis relies on static threshold levels (typically 30/70), which may not adequately reflect changing market volatility regimes. This indicator adapts the reference zones dynamically based on the actual RSI behavior over the lookback period, helping traders identify meaningful momentum extremes relative to recent price action rather than arbitrary fixed levels.
The implementation combines the proven momentum measurement capabilities of RSI with Donchian Channel's breakout detection methodology, creating a framework that identifies both momentum exhaustion points and potential continuation signals through the same analytical lens.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Core Calculation Process:
Step 1: RSI Calculation
The Relative Strength Index measures momentum by comparing the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses:
Calculate price changes between consecutive periods
Separate positive changes (gains) from negative changes (losses)
Apply selected smoothing method (RMA standard, also supports SMA, EMA, WMA) to both gain and loss series
Compute Relative Strength (RS) as the ratio of smoothed gains to smoothed losses
Transform RS into bounded 0-100 scale using the formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Step 2: Donchian Channel Application
The Donchian Channel identifies the highest and lowest RSI values within the specified lookback period:
Upper Channel: Highest RSI value over the lookback period, represents the recent momentum peak
Lower Channel: Lowest RSI value over the lookback period, represents the recent momentum trough
Middle Channel (Basis): Average of upper and lower channels, serves as equilibrium reference
Channel Width Dynamics:
The distance between upper and lower channels reflects RSI volatility. Wide channels indicate high momentum variability, while narrow channels suggest momentum consolidation and potential breakout preparation. The indicator monitors channel width over a 100-period window to identify squeeze conditions that often precede significant momentum shifts.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Primary Signal Categories:
Breakout Signals:
Upper Breakout: RSI crosses above the upper channel, indicates momentum reaching new relative highs and potential trend continuation, particularly significant when accompanied by price confirmation
Lower Breakout: RSI crosses below the lower channel, suggests momentum reaching new relative lows and potential trend exhaustion or reversal setup
Breakout strength is enhanced when the channel is narrow prior to the breakout, indicating a transition from consolidation to directional movement
Mean Reversion Signals:
Upper Touch Without Breakout: RSI reaches the upper channel but fails to break through, may indicate momentum exhaustion and potential reversal opportunity
Lower Touch Without Breakout: RSI reaches the lower channel without breakdown, suggests potential bounce as momentum reaches oversold extremes
Return to Basis: RSI moving back toward the middle channel after touching extremes signals momentum normalization
Trend Strength Assessment:
Sustained Upper Channel Riding: RSI consistently remains near or above the upper channel during strong uptrends, indicates persistent bullish momentum
Sustained Lower Channel Riding: RSI stays near or below the lower channel during strong downtrends, reflects persistent bearish pressure
Basis Line Position: RSI position relative to the middle channel helps identify the prevailing momentum bias
Channel Compression Patterns:
Squeeze Detection: Channel width narrowing to 100-period lows indicates momentum consolidation, often precedes significant directional moves
Expansion Phase: Channel widening after a squeeze confirms the initiation of a new momentum regime
Persistent Narrow Channels: Extended periods of tight channels suggest market indecision and accumulation/distribution phases
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Trend Continuation Strategy:
This approach focuses on identifying and trading momentum breakouts that confirm established trends:
Identify the prevailing price trend using higher timeframe analysis or trend-following indicators
Wait for RSI to break above the upper channel in uptrends (or below the lower channel in downtrends)
Enter positions in the direction of the breakout when price action confirms the momentum shift
Place protective stops below the recent swing low (long positions) or above swing high (short positions)
Target profit levels based on prior swing extremes or use trailing stops to capture extended moves
Exit when RSI crosses back through the basis line in the opposite direction
Mean Reversion Strategy:
This method capitalizes on momentum extremes and subsequent corrections toward equilibrium:
Monitor for RSI reaching the upper or lower channel boundaries
Look for rejection signals (price reversal patterns, volume divergence) when RSI touches the channels
Enter counter-trend positions when RSI begins moving back toward the basis line
Use the basis line as the initial profit target for mean reversion trades
Implement tight stops beyond the channel extremes to limit risk on failed reversals
Scale out of positions as RSI approaches the basis line and closes the position when RSI crosses the basis
Breakout Preparation Strategy:
This approach positions traders ahead of potential volatility expansion from consolidation phases:
Identify squeeze conditions when channel width reaches 100-period lows
Monitor price action for consolidation patterns (triangles, rectangles, flags) during the squeeze
Prepare conditional orders for breakouts in both directions from the consolidation
Enter positions when RSI breaks out of the narrow channel with expanding width
Use the channel width expansion as a confirmation signal for the breakout's validity
Manage risk with stops just inside the opposite channel boundary
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy:
Combining RSI Donchian Channel analysis across multiple timeframes can improve signal reliability:
Identify the primary trend direction using a higher timeframe RSI Donchian Channel (e.g., daily or weekly)
Use a lower timeframe (e.g., 4-hour or hourly) to time precise entry points
Enter long positions when both timeframes show RSI above their respective basis lines
Enter short positions when both timeframes show RSI below their respective basis lines
Avoid trades when timeframes provide conflicting signals (e.g., higher timeframe below basis, lower timeframe above)
Exit when the higher timeframe RSI crosses its basis line in the opposite direction
Risk Management Guidelines:
Effective risk management is essential for all RSI Donchian Channel strategies:
Position Sizing: Calculate position sizes based on the distance between entry point and stop loss, limiting risk to 1-2% of capital per trade
Stop Loss Placement: For breakout trades, place stops just inside the opposite channel boundary; for mean reversion trades, use stops beyond the channel extremes
Profit Targets: Use the basis line as a minimum target for mean reversion trades; for trend trades, target prior swing extremes or use trailing stops
Channel Width Context: Increase position sizes during narrow channels (lower volatility) and reduce sizes during wide channels (higher volatility)
Correlation Awareness: Monitor correlations between traded instruments to avoid over-concentration in similar setups
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
RSI Source:
Defines the price data series used for RSI calculation:
Close (Default): Standard choice providing end-of-period momentum assessment, suitable for most trading styles and timeframes
High-Low Average (HL2): Reduces the impact of closing auction dynamics, useful for markets with significant end-of-day volatility
High-Low-Close Average (HLC3): Provides a more balanced view incorporating the entire period's range
Open-High-Low-Close Average (OHLC4): Offers the most comprehensive price representation, helpful for identifying overall period sentiment
Strategy Consideration: Use Close for end-of-period signals, HL2 or HLC3 for intraday volatility reduction, OHLC4 for capturing full period dynamics
RSI Length:
Controls the number of periods used for RSI calculation:
Short Periods (5-9): Highly responsive to recent price changes, produces more frequent signals with increased false signal risk, suitable for short-term trading and volatile markets
Standard Period (14): Widely accepted default balancing responsiveness with stability, appropriate for swing trading and intermediate-term analysis
Long Periods (21-28): Produces smoother RSI with fewer signals but more reliable trend identification, better for position trading and reducing noise in choppy markets
Optimization Approach: Test different lengths against historical data for your specific market and timeframe, consider using longer periods in ranging markets and shorter periods in trending markets
RSI MA Type:
Determines the smoothing method applied to price changes in RSI calculation:
RMA (Relative Moving Average - Default): Wilder's original smoothing method providing stable momentum measurement with gradual response to changes, maintains consistency with classical RSI interpretation
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Treats all periods equally, responds more quickly to changes than RMA but may produce more whipsaws in volatile conditions
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Weights recent periods more heavily, increases responsiveness at the cost of potential noise, suitable for traders prioritizing early signal generation
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Applies linear weighting favoring recent data, offers a middle ground between SMA and EMA responsiveness
Selection Guidance: Maintain RMA for consistency with traditional RSI analysis, use EMA or WMA for more responsive signals in fast-moving markets, apply SMA for maximum simplicity and transparency
DC Length:
Specifies the lookback period for Donchian Channel calculation on RSI values:
Short Periods (10-14): Creates tight channels that adapt quickly to changing momentum conditions, generates more frequent trading signals but increases sensitivity to short-term RSI fluctuations
Standard Period (20): Balances channel responsiveness with stability, aligns with traditional Bollinger Bands and moving average periods, suitable for most trading styles
Long Periods (30-50): Produces wider, more stable channels that better represent sustained momentum extremes, reduces signal frequency while improving reliability, appropriate for position traders and higher timeframes
Calibration Strategy: Match DC length to your trading timeframe (shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading), test channel width behavior during different market regimes, consider using adaptive periods that adjust to volatility conditions
Market Adaptation: Use shorter DC lengths in trending markets to capture momentum shifts earlier, apply longer periods in ranging markets to filter noise and focus on significant extremes
Parameter Combination Recommendations:
Scalping/Day Trading: RSI Length 5-9, DC Length 10-14, EMA or WMA smoothing for maximum responsiveness
Swing Trading: RSI Length 14, DC Length 20, RMA smoothing for balanced analysis (default configuration)
Position Trading: RSI Length 21-28, DC Length 30-50, RMA or SMA smoothing for stable signals
High Volatility Markets: Longer RSI periods (21+) with standard DC length (20) to reduce noise
Low Volatility Markets: Standard RSI length (14) with shorter DC length (10-14) to capture subtle momentum shifts
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Adaptive Threshold Mechanism:
Unlike traditional RSI analysis with fixed 30/70 thresholds, this indicator's Donchian Channel approach provides several improvements:
Context-Aware Extremes: Overbought/oversold levels adjust automatically based on recent momentum behavior rather than arbitrary fixed values
Volatility Adaptation: In low volatility periods, channels narrow to reflect tighter momentum ranges; in high volatility, channels widen appropriately
Market Regime Recognition: The indicator implicitly adapts to different market conditions without manual threshold adjustments
False Signal Reduction: Adaptive channels help reduce premature reversal signals that often occur with fixed thresholds during strong trends
Signal Quality Characteristics:
The indicator's dual-purpose design provides distinct advantages for different trading objectives:
Breakout Trading: Channel boundaries offer clear, objective breakout levels that update dynamically, eliminating the ambiguity of when momentum becomes "too high" or "too low"
Mean Reversion: The basis line provides a natural profit target for reversion trades, representing the midpoint of recent momentum extremes
Trend Strength: Persistent channel boundary riding offers an objective measure of trend strength without additional indicators
Consolidation Detection: Channel width analysis provides early warning of potential volatility expansion from compression phases
Comparative Analysis:
When compared to traditional RSI implementations and other momentum frameworks:
vs. Fixed Threshold RSI: Provides market-adaptive reference levels rather than static values, helping to reduce false signals during trending markets where RSI can remain "overbought" or "oversold" for extended periods
vs. RSI Bollinger Bands: Offers clearer breakout signals and more intuitive extreme identification through actual high/low boundaries rather than statistical standard deviations
vs. Stochastic Oscillator: Maintains RSI's momentum measurement advantages (unbounded calculation avoiding scale compression) while adding the breakout detection capabilities of Donchian Channels
vs. Standard Donchian Channels: Applies breakout methodology to momentum space rather than price, providing earlier signals of potential trend changes before price breakouts occur
Performance Characteristics:
The indicator exhibits specific behavioral patterns across different market conditions:
Trending Markets: Excels at identifying momentum continuation through channel breakouts, RSI tends to ride one channel boundary during strong trends, providing trend confirmation
Ranging Markets: Channel width narrows during consolidation, offering early preparation signals for potential breakout trading opportunities
High Volatility: Channels widen to reflect increased momentum variability, automatically adjusting signal sensitivity to match market conditions
Low Volatility: Channels contract, making the indicator more sensitive to subtle momentum shifts that may be significant in calm market environments
Transition Periods: Channel squeezes often precede major trend changes, offering advance warning of potential regime shifts
Limitations and Considerations:
Users should be aware of certain operational characteristics:
Lookback Dependency: Channel boundaries depend entirely on the lookback period, meaning the indicator has no predictive element beyond identifying current momentum relative to recent history
Lag Characteristics: As with all moving average-based indicators, RSI calculation introduces lag, and channel boundaries update only as new extremes occur within the lookback window
Range-Bound Sensitivity: In extremely tight ranges, channels may become very narrow, potentially generating excessive signals from minor momentum fluctuations
Trending Persistence: During very strong trends, RSI may remain at channel extremes for extended periods, requiring patience for mean reversion setups or commitment to trend-following approaches
No Absolute Levels: Unlike traditional RSI, this indicator provides no fixed reference points (like 50), making it less suitable for strategies that depend on absolute momentum readings
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to help traders understand momentum dynamics and identify potential trading opportunities. The RSI Donchian Channel has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important considerations:
Performance varies significantly across different market conditions, timeframes, and instruments
Historical signal patterns do not guarantee future results, as market behavior continuously evolves
Effective use requires understanding of both RSI momentum principles and Donchian Channel breakout concepts
Risk management practices (stop losses, position sizing, diversification) are essential for any trading application
Consider combining with additional analytical tools such as volume analysis, price action patterns, or trend indicators for confirmation
Backtest thoroughly on your specific instruments and timeframes before live trading implementation
Be aware that optimization on historical data may lead to curve-fitting and poor forward performance
The indicator performs best when used as part of a comprehensive trading methodology that incorporates multiple forms of market analysis, sound risk management, and realistic expectations about win rates and drawdowns.
Intraday Momentum for Volatile Stocks 29.09The strategy targets intraday momentum breakouts in volatile stocks when the broader market (Nifty) is in an uptrend. It enters long positions when stocks move significantly above their daily opening price with sufficient volume confirmation, then manages the trade using dynamic ATR-based stops and profit targets.
Entry Conditions
Price Momentum Filter: The stock must move at least 2.5% above its daily opening price, indicating strong bullish momentum. This percentage threshold is customizable and targets gap-up scenarios or strong intraday breakouts.
Volume Confirmation: Daily cumulative volume must exceed the 20-day average volume, ensuring institutional participation and genuine momentum. This prevents false breakouts on low volume.
Market Regime Filter: The Nifty index must be trading above its 50-day SMA, indicating a favorable market environment for momentum trades. This macro filter helps avoid trades during bearish market conditions.
Money Flow Index: MFI must be above 50, confirming buying pressure and positive money flow into the stock. This adds another layer of momentum confirmation.
Time Restriction: Trades are only initiated before 3:00 PM to ensure sufficient time for position management and avoid end-of-day volatility.
Exit Management
ATR Trailing Stop Loss: Uses a 3x ATR multiplier for dynamic stop-loss placement that trails higher highs, protecting profits while giving trades room to breathe. The trailing mechanism locks in gains as the stock moves favorably.
Profit Target: Set at 4x ATR above the entry price, providing a favorable risk-reward ratio based on the stock's volatility characteristics. This adaptive approach adjusts targets based on individual stock behavior.
Position Reset: Both stops and targets reset when not in a position, ensuring fresh calculations for each new trade.
Key Strengths
Volatility Adaptation: The ATR-based approach automatically adjusts risk parameters to match current market volatility levels. Higher volatility stocks get wider stops, while calmer stocks get tighter management.
Multi-Timeframe Filtering: Combines intraday price action with daily volume patterns and market regime analysis for robust signal generation.
Risk Management Focus: The strategy prioritizes capital preservation through systematic stop-loss placement and position sizing considerations.
Considerations for NSE Trading
This strategy appears well-suited for NSE intraday momentum trading, particularly for mid-cap and small-cap stocks that exhibit high volatility. The Nifty filter helps align trades with broader market sentiment, which is crucial in the Indian market context where sectoral and index movements strongly influence individual stocks.
The 2.5% threshold above open price is appropriate for volatile NSE stocks, though traders might consider adjusting this parameter based on the specific stocks being traded. The strategy's emphasis on volume confirmation is particularly valuable in the NSE environment where retail participation can create misleading price movements without institutional backin

Triple Quad Frosty v4.5Triple Quad Frosty v4.5 is a Renko-friendly strategy that lets you trade from up to four signal sources per side. Orders are only placed when your chosen conditional filters (A/B/C) agree, giving you full control over when entries are valid. You decide how signals must line up — from simple single-source triggers to majority or full agreement across all four.
Renko-based, with customizable static stops, take profits, and trailing stops. Time/day filters, daily trade limits, and forced closures let you restrict trading to specific windows.
The HTF filters in Triple Quad Frosty v4.5 use a higher-timeframe Hull Moving Average (HMA) to confirm trend direction, while slope and distance settings on the local HMA help filter out weak or choppy setups. Longs only trigger when price is above the HTF HMA and meets slope/distance requirements, and shorts only when the opposite is true.
Color-coded labels mark each exit as a win or loss, with reversal trades labeled separately for clarity. Conditional bars plotted above and below the chart show when the A/B/C filters align on a long or short bias, giving clear visual confirmation of entry conditions. Stop loss and take profit levels are plotted directly on the chart with guide lines, so you can easily track active trade management in real time.
Gann Fan Strategy [KedarArc Quant]Description
A single-concept, rule-based strategy that trades around a programmatic Gann Fan.
It anchors to a swing (or a manual point), builds 1×1 and related fan lines numerically, and triggers entries when price interacts with the 1×1 (breakout or bounce). Management is done entirely with the fan structure (next/previous line) plus optional ATR trailing.
What TV indicators are used
* Pivots: `ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow` to confirm swing highs/lows for anchor selection.
* ATR: `ta.atr` only to scale the 1×1 slope (optional) and for an optional trailing stop.
* EMA: `ta.ema` as a trend filter (e.g., only long above the EMA, short below).
No RSI/MACD/Stoch/Heikin/etc. The logic is one coherent framework: Gann price–time geometry, with ATR as a scale and EMA as a risk filter.
How it works
1. Anchor
* Auto: chooses the most recent *confirmed* pivot (you control Left/Right).
* Manual: set a price and bar index and the fan will hold that point (no re-anchoring).
* Optional Re-anchor when a newer pivot confirms.
2. 1×1 Slope (numeric, not cosmetic)
* ATR mode: `1×1 = ATR(Length) × Multiplier` (adapts to volatility).
* Fixed mode: `ticks per bar` (constant slope).
Because slope is numeric, it doesn’t change with chart zoom, unlike the drawing tool.
3. Fan Lines
Builds classic ratios around the 1×1: 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 8/1.
4. Signals
* Breakout: cross of price over/under the 1×1 in the EMA-aligned direction.
* Bounce (optional): touch + reversal across the 1×1 to reduce whipsaw.
5. Exits & Risk
* Take-profit at the next fan line; Stop at the previous fan line.
* If a level is missing (right after re-anchor), a fallback Risk-Reward (RR) is used.
* Optional ATR trailing stop.
Why this is unique
* True numeric fan: The 1×1 slope is calculated from ATR or fixed ticks—not from screen geometry—so it is scale-invariant and reproducible across users/timeframes.
* Deterministic anchor logic: Uses confirmed pivots (with your L/R settings). No look-ahead; anchors update only when the right bars complete.
* Fan-native trade management: Both entries and exits come from the fan structure itself (with a minimal ATR/EMA assist), keeping the method pure.
* Two entry archetypes: Breakout for momentum days; Bounce for range days—switchable without changing the core model.
* Manual mode: Lock a session’s bias by anchoring to a chosen swing (e.g., day’s first major low/high) and keep the fan constant all day.
Inputs (quick guide)
* Auto Anchor (Left/Right): pivot sensitivity. Higher values = fewer, stronger anchors.
* Re-anchor: refresh to newer pivots as they confirm.
* Manual Anchor Price / Bar Index: fixes the fan (turn Auto off).
* Scale 1×1 by ATR: on = adaptive; off = use ticks per bar.
* ATR Length / ATR Multiplier: controls adaptive slope; start around 14 / 0.25–0.35.
* Ticks per bar: exact fixed slope (match a hand-drawn fan by computing slope ÷ mintick).
* EMA Trend Filter: e.g., 50–100; trades only in EMA direction.
* Use Bounce: require touch + reverse across 1×1 (helps in chop).
* TP/SL at fan lines; Fallback RR for missing levels; ATR Trailing Stop optional.
* Transparency/Plot EMA: visual preferences.
Tips
* Range days: larger pivots (L/R 8–12), Bounce ON, ATR Multiplier \~0.30–0.40, EMA 100.
* Trend days: L/R 5–6, Breakout, Multiplier \~0.20–0.30, EMA 50, ATR trail 1.0–1.5.
* Match the TV Gann Fan drawing: turn ATR scale OFF, set ticks per bar = `(Δprice between anchor and 1×1 target) / (bars) / mintick`.
Repainting & testing notes
* Pivots require Right bars to confirm; anchors are set after confirmation (no look-ahead).
* Signals use the current bar close with TradingView strategy mechanics; real-time vs. bar-close can differ slightly, as with any strategy.
* Re-anchoring legitimately moves the structure when new pivots confirm—by design.

J12Matic Builder by galgoomA flexible Renko/tick strategy that lets you choose between two entry engines (Multi-Source 3-way or QBand+Moneyball), with a unified trailing/TP exit engine, NY-time trading windows with auto-flatten, daily profit/loss and trade-count limits (HALT mode), and clean webhook routing using {{strategy.order.alert_message}}.
Highlights
Two entry engines
Multi-Source (3): up to three long/short sources with Single / Dual / Triple logic and optional lookback.
QBand + Moneyball: Gate → Trigger workflow with timing windows, OR/AND trigger modes, per-window caps, optional same-bar fire.
Unified exit engine: Trailing by Bricks or Ticks, plus optional static TP/SL.
Session control (NY time): Evening / Overnight / NY Session windows; auto-flatten at end of any enabled window.
Day controls: Profit/Loss (USD) and Trade-count limits. When hit, strategy HALTS new entries, shows an on-chart label/background.
Alert routing designed for webhooks: Every order sets alert_message= so you can run alerts with:
Condition: this strategy
Notify on: Order fills only
Message: {{strategy.order.alert_message}}
Default JSONs or Custom payloads: If a Custom field is blank, a sensible default JSON is sent. Fill a field to override.
How to set up alerts (the 15-second version)
Create a TradingView alert with this strategy as Condition.
Notify on: Order fills only.
Message: {{strategy.order.alert_message}} (exactly).
If you want your own payloads, paste them into Inputs → 08) Custom Alert Payloads.
Leave blank → the strategy sends a default JSON.
Fill in → your text is sent as-is.
Note: Anything you type into the alert dialog’s Message box is ignored except the {{strategy.order.alert_message}} token, which forwards the payload supplied by the strategy at order time.
Publishing notes / best practices
Renko users: Make sure “Renko Brick Size” in Inputs matches your chart’s brick size exactly.
Ticks vs Bricks: Exit distances switch instantly when you toggle Exit Units.
Same-bar flips: If enabled, a new opposite signal will first close the open trade (with its exit payload), then enter the new side.
HALT mode: When day profit/loss limit or trade-count limit triggers, new entries are blocked for the rest of the session day. You’ll see a label and a soft background tint.
Session end flatten: Auto-closes positions at window ends; these exits use the “End of Session Window Exit” payload.
Bar magnifier: Strategy is configured for on-close execution; you can enable Bar Magnifier in Properties if needed.
Default JSONs (used when a Custom field is empty)
Open: {"event":"open","side":"long|short","symbol":""}
Close: {"event":"close","side":"long|short|flat","reason":"tp|sl|flip|session|limit_profit|limit_loss","symbol":""}
You can paste any text/JSON into the Custom fields; it will be forwarded as-is when that event occurs.
Input sections — user guide
01) Entries & Signals
Entry Logic: Choose Multi-Source (3) or QBand + Moneyball (pick one).
Enable Long/Short Signals: Master on/off switches for entering long/short.
Flip on opposite signal: If enabled, a new opposite signal will close the current position first, then open the other side.
Signal Logic (Multi-Source):
Single: any 1 of the 3 sources > 0
Dual: Source1 AND Source2 > 0
Triple (default): 1 AND 2 AND 3 > 0
Long/Short Signal Sources 1–3: Provide up to three series (often indicators). A positive value (> 0) is treated as a “pulse”.
Use Lookback: Keeps a source “true” for N bars after it pulses (helps catch late triggers).
Long/Short Lookback (bars): How many bars to remember that pulse.
01b) QBands + Moneyball (Gate -> Trigger)
Allow same-bar Gate->Trigger: If ON, a trigger can fire on the same bar as the gate pulse.
Trigger must fire within N bars after Gate: Size of the gate window (in bars).
Max signals per window (0 = unlimited): Cap the number of entries allowed while a gate window is open.
Buy/Sell Source 1 – Gate: Gate pulse sources that open the buy/sell window (often a regime/zone, e.g., QBands bull/bear).
Trigger Pulse Mode (Buy/Sell): How to detect a trigger pulse from the trigger sources (Change / Appear / Rise>0 / Fall<0).
Trigger A/B sources + Extend Bars: Primary/secondary triggers plus optional extension to persist their pulse for N bars.
Trigger Mode: Pick S2 only, S3 only, S2 OR S3, or S2 AND S3. AND mode remembers both pulses inside the window before firing.
02) Exit Units (Trailing/TP)
Exit Units: Choose Bricks (Renko) or Ticks. All distances below switch accordingly.
03) Tick-based Trailing / Stops (active when Exit Units = Ticks)
Initial SL (ticks): Starting stop distance from entry.
Start Trailing After (ticks): Start trailing once price moves this far in your favor.
Trailing Distance (ticks): Offset of the trailing stop from peak/trough once trailing begins.
Take Profit (ticks): Optional static TP distance.
Stop Loss (ticks): Optional static SL distance (overrides trailing if enabled).
04) Brick-based Trailing / Stops (active when Exit Units = Bricks)
Renko Brick Size: Must match your chart’s brick size.
Initial SL / Start Trailing After / Trailing Distance (bricks): Same definitions as tick mode, measured in bricks.
Take Profit / Stop Loss (bricks): Optional static distances.
05) TP / SL Switch
Enable Static Take Profit: If ON, closes the trade at the fixed TP distance.
Enable Static Stop Loss (Overrides Trailing): If ON, trailing is disabled and a fixed SL is used.
06) Trading Windows (NY time)
Use Trading Windows: Master toggle for all windows.
Evening / Overnight / NY Session: Define each session in NY time.
Flatten at End of : Auto-close any open position when a window ends (sends the Session Exit payload).
07) Day Controls & Limits
Enable Profit Limits / Profit Limit (Dollars): When daily net PnL ≥ limit → auto-flatten and HALT.
Enable Loss Limits / Loss Limit (Dollars): When daily net PnL ≤ −limit → auto-flatten and HALT.
Enable Trade Count Limits / Number of Trades Allowed: After N entries, HALT new entries (does not auto-flatten).
On-chart HUD: A label and soft background tint appear when HALTED; a compact status table shows Day PnL, trade count, and mode.
08) Custom Alert Payloads (used as strategy.order.alert_message)
Long/Short Entry: Payload sent on entries (if blank, a default open JSON is sent).
Regular Long/Short Exit: Payload sent on closes from SL/TP/flip (if blank, a default close JSON is sent).
End of Session Window Exit: Payload sent when any enabled window ends and positions are flattened.
Profit/Loss/Trade Limit Close: Payload sent when daily profit/loss limit causes auto-flatten.
Tip: Any tokens you include here are forwarded “as is”. If your downstream expects variables, do the substitution on the receiver side.
Known limitations
No bracket orders from Pine: This strategy doesn’t create OCO/attached brackets on the broker; it simulates exits with strategy logic and forwards your payloads for external automation.
alert_message is per order only: Alerts fire on order events. General status pings aren’t sent unless you wire a separate indicator/alert.
Renko specifics: Backtests on synthetic Renko can differ from live execution. Always forward-test on your instrument and settings.
Quick checklist before you publish
✅ Brick size in Inputs matches your Renko chart
✅ Exit Units set to Bricks or Ticks as you intend
✅ Day limits/Windows toggled as you want
✅ Custom payloads filled (or leave blank to use defaults)
✅ Your alert uses Order fills only + {{strategy.order.alert_message}}

EAOBS by MIGVersion 1
1. Strategy Overview Objective: Capitalize on breakout movements in Ethereum (ETH) price after the Asian open pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) by identifying high and low prices during the session and trading breakouts above the high or below the low.
Timeframe: Any (script is timeframe-agnostic, but align with session timing).
Session: Pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST, adjustable for other time zones, e.g., 12:00 AM–12:59 AM GMT).
Risk-Reward Ratios (R:R): Targets range from 1.2:1 to 5.2:1, with a fixed stop loss.
Instrument: Ethereum (ETH/USD or ETH-based pairs).
2. Market Setup Session Monitoring: Monitor ETH price action during the pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST), which aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., 9:00 AM–9:59 AM JST).
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low during this session.
Breakout Triggers: Buy Signal: Price breaks above the session’s high after the session ends (7:59 PM EST).
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the session’s low after the session ends.
Visualization: The session is highlighted on the chart with a white background.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the session’s high and low, extended for 30 bars, along with take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
3. Entry Rules Long (Buy) Entry: Enter a long position when the price breaks above the session’s high price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just above the session high (e.g., add a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%, to avoid false breakouts, depending on volatility).
Short (Sell) Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the session’s low price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just below the session low (e.g., subtract a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%).
Confirmation: Use a candlestick close above/below the breakout level to confirm the entry.
Optionally, add volume confirmation or a momentum indicator (e.g., RSI or MACD) to filter out weak breakouts.
Position Size: Calculate position size based on risk tolerance (e.g., 1–2% of account per trade).
Risk is determined by the stop-loss distance (10 points, as defined in the script).
4. Exit Rules Take-Profit Levels (in points, based on script inputs):TP1: 12 points (1.2:1 R:R).
TP2: 22 points (2.2:1 R:R).
TP3: 32 points (3.2:1 R:R).
TP4: 42 points (4.2:1 R:R).
TP5: 52 points (5.2:1 R:R).
Example for Long: If session high is 3000, TP levels are 3012, 3022, 3032, 3042, 3052.
Example for Short: If session low is 2950, TP levels are 2938, 2928, 2918, 2908, 2898.
Strategy: Scale out of the position (e.g., close 20% at TP1, 20% at TP2, etc.) or take full profit at a preferred TP level based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss: Fixed at 10 points from the entry.
Long SL: Session high - 10 points (e.g., entry at 3000, SL at 2990).
Short SL: Session low + 10 points (e.g., entry at 2950, SL at 2960).
Trailing Stop (Optional):After reaching TP2 or TP3, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits (e.g., trail by 10–15 points below the current price).
5. Risk Management per Trade: Limit risk to 1–2% of your trading account per trade.
Calculate position size: Account Size × Risk % ÷ (Stop-Loss Distance × ETH Price per Point).
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. If SL = 10 points and 1 point = $1, position size = $100 ÷ 10 = 0.1 ETH.
Daily Risk Limit: Cap daily losses at 3–5% of the account to avoid overtrading.
Maximum Exposure: Avoid taking both long and short positions simultaneously unless using separate accounts or strategies.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust position size during high-volatility periods (e.g., major news events like Ethereum upgrades or macroeconomic announcements).
6. Trade Management Monitoring :Watch for breakouts after 7:59 PM EST.
Monitor price action near TP and SL levels using alerts or manual checks.
Trade Duration: Breakout lines extend for 30 bars (script parameter). Close trades if no TP or SL is hit within this period, or reassess based on market conditions.
Adjustments: If the market shows strong momentum, consider holding beyond TP5 with a trailing stop.
If the breakout fails (e.g., price reverses before TP1), exit early to minimize losses.
7. Additional Considerations Market Conditions: The 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST session aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., Tokyo Stock Exchange open at 9:00 AM JST), which may introduce higher volatility due to Asian trading activity.
Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or extreme volatility (e.g., major crypto news).
Check for upcoming events (e.g., Ethereum network upgrades, ETF decisions) that could impact price.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical ETH data using the session high/low breakouts for the 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST window to validate performance.
Adjust TP/SL levels based on backtest results if needed.
Broker and Fees: Use a low-fee crypto exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro) to maximize R:R.
Account for trading fees and slippage in your position sizing.
Time zone Adjustment: Adjust session time input for your time zone (e.g., "0000-0059" for GMT).
Ensure your trading platform’s clock aligns with the script’s time zone (default: America/New_York).
8. Example Trade Scenario: Session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) records a high of 3050 and a low of 3000.
Long Trade: Entry: Price breaks above 3050 (e.g., enter at 3051).
TP Levels: 3063 (TP1), 3073 (TP2), 3083 (TP3), 3093 (TP4), 3103 (TP5).
SL: 3040 (3050 - 10).
Position Size: For a $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. SL = 11 points ($11). Size = $100 ÷ 11 = ~0.09 ETH.
Short Trade: Entry: Price breaks below 3000 (e.g., enter at 2999).
TP Levels: 2987 (TP1), 2977 (TP2), 2967 (TP3), 2957 (TP4), 2947 (TP5).
SL: 3010 (3000 + 10).
Position Size: Same as above, ~0.09 ETH.
Execution: Set alerts for breakouts, enter with limit orders, and monitor TPs/SL.
9. Tools and Setup Platform: Use TradingView to implement the Pine Script and visualize breakout levels.
Alerts: Set price alerts for breakouts above the session high or below the session low after 7:59 PM EST.
Set alerts for TP and SL levels.
Chart Settings: Use a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for precise session tracking.
Overlay the script to see high/low lines, TP levels, and SL levels.
Optional Indicators: Add RSI (e.g., avoid overbought/oversold breakouts) or volume to confirm breakouts.
10. Risk Warnings Crypto Volatility: ETH is highly volatile; unexpected news can cause rapid price swings.
False Breakouts: Breakouts may fail, especially in low-volume sessions. Use confirmation signals.
Leverage: Avoid high leverage (e.g., >5x) to prevent liquidation during volatile moves.
Session Accuracy: Ensure correct session timing for your time zone to avoid misaligned entries.
11. Performance Tracking Journaling :Record each trade’s entry, exit, R:R, and outcome.
Note market conditions (e.g., trending, ranging, news-driven).
Review: Weekly: Assess win rate, average R:R, and adherence to the plan.
Monthly: Adjust TP/SL or session timing based on performance.

ATR Trend Color📌 ATR Trend Color — Visually clean trend-following tool based on adaptive ATR trailing stop
► Description
ATR Trend Color is a simple yet powerful indicator designed to visually identify and follow the market trend using an adaptive ATR-based trailing stop. Its main advantage lies in clarity — it uses just a single line that dynamically changes color based on trend direction:
✅ Blue line indicates price is above the trailing stop (bullish trend).
🔻 Black line indicates price is below the trailing stop (bearish trend).
This clean display allows for instant trend recognition and potential exit or reversal zones.
► How it works
The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate a dynamic trailing stop level. ATR measures volatility and adjusts the trailing line to match current market conditions:
When the price rises, the line moves up and acts as dynamic support.
When the price drops, the line moves down and acts as resistance.
This behavior makes it ideal for trend following and volatility-adjusted stop-loss placement.
► Key Features:
✅ Clean chart with just one ATR trailing line
✅ Dynamic color changes in real-time
✅ Great for trend confirmation and management
✅ Customizable ATR period and multiplier
✅ Step line with diamonds for high visual clarity
► How to use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust ATR period and multiplier to your strategy (default: ATR 7 / multiplier 3.1).
Follow the line color:
Blue: Bullish trend — may signal to stay in long positions.
Black: Bearish trend — may suggest exit or short entries.
► Originality
Unlike typical ATR trailing stop indicators that display two lines or static colors, ATR Trend Color simplifies visualization by using a single smart line with real-time visual feedback on trend direction.
Additionally, it uses the “Step line with diamonds” display mode to enhance readability in fast or noisy markets.
All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener (Enhanced)All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced: Uncover High-Conviction Trend Alignments with Confidence
Description:
Are you ready to elevate your trading from mere guesswork to precise, data-driven decisions? The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is not just another indicator; it's a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, trend-following powerhouse designed to cut through market noise and pinpoint high-probability trading opportunities. Built on the foundational strength of comprehensive Moving Average confluence and fortified with critical confirmation signals from Momentum, Volume, and Relative Strength, this script empowers you to identify truly robust trends and manage your trades with unparalleled clarity.
The Power of Multi-Factor Confluence: Beyond Simple Averages
In the unpredictable world of financial markets, true strength or weakness is rarely an isolated event. It's the harmonious alignment of multiple technical factors that signals a high-conviction move. While our original "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener" intelligently identified stocks where price was consistently above or below a full spectrum of Simple Moving Averages (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200), this Enhanced version takes it a crucial step further.
We've integrated a powerful three-pronged confirmation system to filter out weaker signals and highlight only the most compelling setups:
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC): A strong trend isn't just about price direction; it's about the speed and intensity of that movement. Positive momentum confirms that buyers are still aggressively pushing price higher (for bullish signals), while negative momentum validates selling pressure (for bearish signals).
Volume: No trend is truly trustworthy without the backing of smart money. Above-average volume accompanying an "All SMAs" alignment signifies strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move. It separates genuine trend starts from speculative whims.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): This versatile oscillator ensures the trend isn't just "there," but that it's developing healthily. We use RSI to confirm a bullish bias (above 50) or a bearish bias (below 50), adding another layer of confidence to the direction.
When the price aligns above ALL six critical SMAs, and is simultaneously confirmed by robust positive momentum, healthy volume, and a bullish RSI bias, you have an exceptionally strong "STRONGLY BULLISH" signal. This confluence often precedes sustained upward moves, signaling prime accumulation phases. Conversely, a "STRONGLY BEARISH" signal, where price is below ALL SMAs with negative momentum, confirming volume, and a bearish RSI bias, indicates powerful distribution and potential for significant downside.
How to Use This Enhanced Screener:
Add to Chart: Go to TradingView's Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Customize Parameters: Fine-tune the lengths of your SMAs, RSI, Momentum, and Volume averages via the indicator's settings. Experiment to find what best suits your trading style and the assets you trade.
Choose Your Timeframe Wisely:
Daily (1D) and 4-Hour (240 min) are highly recommended. These timeframes cut through intraday noise and provide more reliable, actionable signals for swing and position trading.
Shorter timeframes (e.g., 15min, 60min) can be used by advanced day traders for very short-term entries, but be aware of increased volatility and noise.
Visual Confirmation:
Green/Red Triangles: Appear on your chart, indicating confirmed bullish or bearish signals.
Background Color: The chart background will subtly turn lime green for "STRONGLY BULLISH" and red for "STRONGLY BEARISH" conditions.
On-Chart Status Table: A clear table displays the current signal status ("STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH," or "SMAs Mixed") for immediate feedback.
Set Up Alerts (Your Primary Screener Tool): This is the game-changer! Create custom alerts on TradingView based on the "Confirmed Bullish Trade" and "Confirmed Bearish Trade" conditions. Receive instant notifications (email, pop-up, mobile) for any stock in your watchlist that meets these stringent criteria. This allows you to scan the entire market effortlessly and act decisively.
Strategic Stop-Loss Placement: The Trader's Lifeline
Even the most robust signals can fail. Protecting your capital is paramount. For this trend-following strategy, your stop-loss should be placed where the underlying trend structure is broken.
For a "STRONGLY BULLISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just below the most recent significant swing low (higher low). This is the last point where buyers stepped in to support the price. If price breaks below this, your bullish thesis is invalidated.
For a "STRONGLY BEARISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just above the most recent significant swing high (lower high). If price breaks above this, your bearish thesis is invalidated.
Alternatively, consider placing your stop-loss just below the 20-period SMA (for bullish trades) or above the 20-period SMA (for bearish trades). A significant close beyond this intermediate-term average often indicates a critical shift in momentum. Always ensure your chosen stop-loss adheres to your pre-defined risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of capital).
Disciplined Profit Booking: Maximizing Gains
Just as important as knowing when you're wrong is knowing when to take profits.
Trailing Stop-Loss: As your trade moves into profit, trail your stop-loss upwards (for longs) or downwards (for shorts). You can trail it using:
Previous Swing Lows/Highs: Move your stop to just below each new higher low (for longs) or just above each new lower high (for shorts).
A Moving Average (e.g., 10-period or 20-period SMA): If price closes below your chosen trailing SMA, exit. This allows you to ride the trend while protecting accumulated profits.
Target Levels: Identify potential resistance levels (for longs) or support levels (for shorts) using pivot points, previous highs/lows, or Fibonacci extensions. Consider taking partial profits at these levels and letting the rest run with a trailing stop.
Loss of Confluence: If the "STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH" condition ceases to be met (e.g., RSI crosses below 50, or volume drops significantly), this can be a signal to reduce or exit your position, even if your stop-loss hasn't been hit.
The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is your comprehensive partner in navigating the markets. By combining robust trend identification with critical confirmation signals and disciplined risk management, you're equipped to make smarter, more confident trading decisions. Add it to your favorites and unlock a new level of precision in your trading journey!

Core Functional Components
1. Advanced Moving Averages
A distinguishing feature of the DAFE strategy is its robust, multi-choice moving averages (MAs). Clients can choose from a wide array of MAs—each with specific strengths—in order to fine-tune their trading signals. The code includes user-defined functions for the following MAs:
imgur.com
Hull Moving Average (HMA):
The hma(src, len) function calculates the HMA by using weighted moving averages (WMAs) to reduce lag considerably while smoothing price data. This function computes an intermediate WMA of half the specified length, then a full-length WMA, and finally applies a further WMA over the square root of the length. This design allows for rapid adaptation to price changes without the typical delays of traditional moving averages.
Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA):
Implemented via tema(src, len), TEMA uses three consecutive exponential moving averages (EMAs) to effectively cancel out lag and capture price momentum. The final formula—3 * (ema1 - ema2) + ema3—produces a highly responsive indicator that filters out short-term noise.
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA):
Through the dema(src, len) function, DEMA calculates an EMA and then a second EMA on top of it. Its simplified formula of 2 * ema1 - ema2 provides a smoother curve than a single EMA while maintaining enhanced responsiveness.
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA):
With vwma(src, len), this MA accounts for trading volume by weighting the price, thereby offering a more contextual picture of market activity. This is crucial when volume spikes indicate significant moves.
Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA):
The zlema(src, len) function applies a correction to reduce the inherent lag found in EMAs. By subtracting a calculated lag (based on half the moving average window), ZLEMA is exceptionally attuned to recent price movements.
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA):
The alma(src, len, offset, sigma) function introduces ALMA—a type of moving average designed to be less affected by outliers. With parameters for offset and sigma, it allows customization of the degree to which the MA reacts to market noise.
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA):
The custom kama(src, len) function is noteworthy for its adaptive nature. It computes an efficiency ratio by comparing price change against volatility, then dynamically adjusts its smoothing constant. This results in an MA that quickly responds during trending periods while remaining smoothed during consolidation.
Each of these functions—integrated into the strategy—is selectable by the trader (via the fastMAType and slowMAType inputs). This flexibility permits the tailored application of the MA most suited to current market dynamics and individual risk management preferences.
2. ATR-Based Filters and Risk Controls
ATR Calculation and Volatility Filter:
The strategy computes the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined period (atrPeriod). ATR is then used to derive both:
Volatility Assessment: Expressed as a ratio of ATR to closing price, ensuring that trades are taken only when volatility remains within a safe, predefined threshold (volatilityThreshold).
ATR-Based Entry Filters: Implemented as atrFilterLong and atrFilterShort, these conditions ensure that for long entries the price is sufficiently above the slow MA and vice versa for shorts. This acts as an additional confirmation filter.
Dynamic Exit Management:
The exit logic employs a dual approach:
Fixed Stop and Profit Target: Stops and targets are set at multiples of ATR (fixedStopMultiplier and profitTargetATRMult), helping manage risk in volatile markets.
Trailing Stop Adjustments: A trailing stop is calculated using the ATR multiplied by a user-defined offset (trailOffset), which captures additional profits as the trade moves favorably while protecting against reversals.
3. Multi-Timeframe Trend Filtering
The strategy enhances its signal reliability by leveraging a secondary, higher timeframe analysis:
15-Minute Trend Analysis:
By retrieving 15-minute moving averages (fastMA15m and slowMA15m) via request.security, the strategy determines the broader market trend. This secondary filter (enabled or disabled through useTrendFilter) ensures that entries are aligned with the prevailing market direction, thereby reducing the incidence of false signals.
4. Signal and Execution Logic
Combined MA Alignment:
The entry conditions are based primarily on the alignment of the fast and slow MAs. A long condition is triggered when the current price is above both MAs and the fast MA is above the slow MA—complemented by the ATR filter and volume conditions. The reverse applies for a short condition.
Volume and Time Window Validation:
Trades are permitted only if the current volume exceeds a minimum (minVolume) and the current hour falls within the predefined trading window (tradingStartHour to tradingEndHour). An additional volume spike check (comparing current volume to a moving average of past volumes) further filters for optimal market conditions.
Comprehensive Order Execution:
The strategy utilizes flexible order execution functions that allow pyramiding (up to 10 positions), ensuring that it can scale into positions as favorable conditions persist. The use of both market entries and automated exits (with profit targets, stop-losses, and trailing stops) ensures that risk is managed at every step.
5. Integrated Dashboard and Metrics
For transparency and real-time analysis, the strategy includes:
On-Chart Visualizations:
Both fast and slow MAs are plotted on the chart, making it easy to see the market’s technical foundation.
Dynamic Metrics Dashboard:
A built-in table displays crucial performance statistics—including current profit/loss, equity, ATR (both raw and as a percentage), and the percentage gap between the moving averages. These metrics offer immediate insight into the health and performance of the strategy.
Input Parameters: Detailed Breakdown
Every input is meticulously designed to offer granular control:
Fast & Slow Lengths:
Determine the window size for the fast and slow moving averages. Smaller values yield more sensitivity, while larger values provide a smoother, delayed response.
Fast/Slow MA Types:
Choose the type of moving average for fast and slow signals. The versatility—from basic SMA and EMA to more complex ones like HMA, TEMA, ZLEMA, ALMA, and KAMA—allows customization to fit different market scenarios.
ATR Parameters:
atrPeriod and atrMultiplier shape the volatility assessment, directly affecting entry filters and risk management through stop-loss and profit target levels.
Trend and Volume Filters:
Inputs such as useTrendFilter, minVolume, and the volume spike condition help confirm that a trade occurs in active, trending markets rather than during periods of low liquidity or market noise.
Trading Hours:
Restricting trade execution to specific hours (tradingStartHour and tradingEndHour) helps avoid illiquid or choppy markets outside of prime trading sessions.
Exit Strategies:
Parameters like trailOffset, profitTargetATRMult, and fixedStopMultiplier provide multiple layers of risk management and profit protection by tailoring how exits are generated relative to current market conditions.
Pyramiding and Fixed Trade Quantity:
The strategy supports multiple entries within a trend (up to 10 positions) and sets a predefined trade quantity (fixedQuantity) to maintain consistent exposure and risk per trade.
Dashboard Controls:
The resetDashboard input allows for on-the-fly resetting of performance metrics, keeping the strategy’s performance dashboard accurate and up-to-date.
Why This Strategy is Truly Exceptional
Multi-Faceted Adaptability:
The ability to switch seamlessly between various moving average types—each suited to particular market conditions—enables the strategy to adapt dynamically. This is a testament to the high level of coding sophistication and market insight infused within the system.
Robust Risk Management:
The integration of ATR-based stops, profit targets, and trailing stops ensures that every trade is executed with well-defined risk parameters. The system is designed to mitigate unexpected market swings while optimizing profit capture.
Comprehensive Market Filtering:
By combining moving average crossovers with volume analysis, volatility thresholds, and multi-timeframe trend filters, the strategy only enters trades under the most favorable conditions. This multi-layered filtering reduces noise and enhances signal quality.
