CCI Level Zero Strategy (by Marcoweb) v1.0Hi guys,
My strategy is ready :)
Finally the zero level of the CCI gives the start and stop to my positions. As you could notice, setting up the CCI length to 340 area on 1 minute chart will let the profit factor go up to 20% from an already wonderful 16%. This is a great result cause will let profitable trades run while stopping the wrong ones with a very limited loss. What makes our profit are not several small little positions that are clearly unrepitable in real trade but few and very profitable positions in which jumping in will be easier due to their length (71 bars average).
Please share with me your impressions and suggestions.
Have a nice trade :)
I_Heikin Ashi CandleWhen apply a strategy to Heikin Ashi Candle chart (HA candle), the strategy will use the open/close/high/low values of the Heikin Ashi candle to calculate the Profit and Loss, hence also affecting the Percent Profitable, Profit Factor, etc., often resulting a unrealistic high Percent Profitable and Profit Factor, which is misleading. But if you want to use the HA candle's values to calculate your indicator / strategy, but pass the normal candle's open/close/high/low values to the strategy to calculate the Profit / Loss, you can do this:
1) set up the main chart to be a normal candle chart
2) use this indicator script to plot a secondary window with indicator looks exactly like a HA-chart
3) to use the HA-candle's open/close/high/low value to calculate whatever indicator you want (you may need to create a separate script if you want to plot this indicator in a separate indicator window)
MACDouble + RSI (rec. 15min-2hr intrv) Uses two sets of MACD plus an RSI to either long or short. All three indicators trigger buy/sell as one (ie it's not 'IF MACD1 OR MACD2 OR RSI > 1 = buy", its more like "IF 1 AND 2 AND RSI=buy", all 3 match required for trigger)
The MACD inputs should be tweaked depending on timeframe and what you are trading. If you are doing 1, 3, 5 min or real frequent trading then 21/44/20 and 32/66/29 or other high value MACDs should be considered. If you are doing longer intervals like 2, 3, 4hr then consider 9/19/9 and 21/44/20 for MACDs (experiment! I picked these example #s randomly).
Ideal usage for the MACD sets is to have MACD2 inputs at around 1.5x, 2x, or 3x MACD1's inputs.
Other settings to consider: try having fastlength1=macdlength1 and then (fastlength2 = macdlength2 - 2). Like 10/26/10 and 23/48/20. This seems to increase net profit since it is more likely to trigger before major price moves, but may decrease profitable trade %. Conversely, consider FL1=MCDL1 and FL2 = MCDL2 + (FL2 * 0.5). Example: 10/26/10 and 22/48/30 this can increase profitable trade %, though may cost some net profit.
Feel free to message me with suggestions or questions.
SPY Master v1.0This is a simple swing trading algorithm that uses a fast RSI-EMA to trigger buy/cover signals and a slow RSI-EMA to trigger sell/short signals for SPY, an xchange-traded fund for the S&P 500.
The idea behind this strategy follows the premise that most profitable momentum trades usually occur during periods when price is trending up or down. Periods of flat price actions are usually where most unprofitable trades occur. Because we cannot predict exactly when trending periods will occur, the algorithm basically bets money on all trade opportunities during all market conditions. Despite an accuracy rate of only 40%, the algorithm's asymmetric risk/reward profile allows the average winner to be 2x the average loser. The end result is a positive (profitable) net payout.
TRADING RULES:
Buy/Cover = EMA3(RSI2) cross> 50
Sell/Short = EMA5(RSI2) cross< 50
BACKTEST SETTINGS:
- Period = March 2011 - Present
- Initial capital = $10,000
- Dividends excluded
- Trading costs excluded
PERFORMANCE COMPARISON:
There are 657 trades, which means 1,314 orders. Assuming each order costs $2 (what I pay for at Interactive Brokers), total trading costs should be $2,628.
-SPY (buy & hold) = 132.73 ---> 193.22 = +45.57% (dividends excluded)
-SPY Master v1.0 = $12,649 - $2,628 = $10,021 = +100.21%
DISCLAIMER: None of my ideas and posts are investment advice. Past performance is not an indication of future results. This strategy was constructed with the benefit of hindsight and its future performance cannot be guaranteed.

Vervoort Heiken Ashi Candlestick OscillatorHeiken-Ashi Candlestick Oscillator (HACO), by Sylvian Vervoort, is a digital oscillator version of the colored candlesticks.
Explanation from Vervoort:
"HACO is not meant to be an automatic trading system, so when there is a buy or sell signal from HACO, make sure it is confirmed by other TA techniques. HACO will certainly aid in signaling buy/sell opportunities and help you hold on to a trade, making it more profitable. The behavior of HACO is closely related to the level and speed of price change. It can be used on charts of any time frame ranging from intraday to monthly."
HACO has 2 configurable length parameters - "UP TEMA length" and "Down TEMA length". Vervoort suggests having them the same value.
I have also added an option to color the bars (overlay mode).

DEnvelope [Better Bollinger Bands]*** ***
Bollinger Bands (BB) usually expand quickly after a volatility increase but contract more slowly as volatility declines. This extended time it takes for BB to contract after a volatility drop can make trading some instruments using BB alone difficult or less profitable.
In the October 1998 issue of "Futures" there is an article written by Dennis McNicholl called "Better Bollinger Bands", in which the author recommends improving BB by modifying:
- the center line formula &
- different equations for calculating the bands.
These bands, called "DEnvelope", follow price more closely and respond faster to changes in volatility with these modifications.

RSI Signals Multi-Layer RSI System with Classical Divergence**DrFX RSI Signals Fixed** is an advanced RSI-based trading system that combines duration-filtered extreme conditions with classical divergence detection and momentum confirmation. This enhanced version addresses common RSI false signals through multi-layer filtering while adding proper divergence analysis for identifying high-probability reversal points.
**Core Innovation & Originality**
This indicator uniquely integrates five analytical layers:
1. **Duration-Validated Extreme Zones** - Confirms RSI has remained overbought/oversold for minimum bars within lookback period
2. **Classical Divergence Detection** - Proper implementation comparing swing highs/lows in both price and RSI
3. **Momentum Confirmation Signals** - RSI crossing 50-line after extreme conditions for trend confirmation
4. **Multi-Signal Classification** - Four distinct signal types (Buy, Sell, Strong Buy, Strong Sell, Momentum)
5. **Visual Zone Highlighting** - Background coloring for instant extreme zone identification
**Technical Implementation & Improvements**
**Enhanced Duration Filter:**
Unlike the previous version, this system uses a refined approach:
```
for i = 0 to lookback_bars - 1
if rsi > overbought
barsInOverbought := barsInOverbought + 1
```
This counts actual bars within the lookback period (default 20 bars) where RSI was extreme, requiring minimum duration (default 4 bars) for signal validation.
**Classical Divergence Detection:**
The system implements proper divergence analysis, a significant improvement over simple delta comparison:
**Bullish Divergence Logic:**
- Price makes lower low: `low < prevPriceLow`
- RSI makes higher low: `rsi > prevRsiLow`
- Indicates weakening downward momentum despite lower prices
**Bearish Divergence Logic:**
- Price makes higher high: `high > prevPriceHigh`
- RSI makes lower high: `rsi < prevRsiHigh`
- Indicates weakening upward momentum despite higher prices
**Signal Generation Framework:**
**Primary Signals:**
- **Buy Signal**: RSI crosses above oversold (30) after meeting duration requirements
- **Sell Signal**: RSI crosses below overbought (70) after meeting duration requirements
**Strong Signals:**
- **Strong Buy**: Buy signal + bullish divergence confirmation
- **Strong Sell**: Sell signal + bearish divergence confirmation
**Momentum Signals:**
- **Momentum Buy (M+)**: RSI crosses above 50 after recent oversold conditions
- **Momentum Sell (M-)**: RSI crosses below 50 after recent overbought conditions
**What Makes This Version Superior**
**Compared to Standard RSI:**
1. **Duration Requirement**: Prevents signals on brief RSI spikes
2. **Lookback Validation**: Ensures extreme conditions actually occurred recently
3. **Proper Divergence**: Uses swing high/low comparison, not just bar-to-bar deltas
4. **Momentum Layer**: Adds trend confirmation via 50-line crosses
**Compared to Previous Version:**
1. **Pine Script v5**: Modern syntax with improved performance
2. **Configurable Parameters**: All values adjustable via inputs
3. **Better Divergence**: Classical divergence logic replaces simplified delta method
4. **Additional Signals**: Momentum confirmations for trend following
5. **Visual Enhancements**: Background coloring and improved signal differentiation
6. **Alert System**: Built-in alert conditions for all signal types
**Parameter Configuration**
**Customizable Inputs:**
- **Overbought Level** (70): Upper threshold, range 50-90
- **Oversold Level** (30): Lower threshold, range 10-50
- **RSI Period** (14): Calculation period, range 2-50
- **Minimum Duration** (4): Required bars in extreme zone, range 1-20
- **Lookback Bars** (20): Period to check for extreme conditions, range 5-100
- **Divergence Lookback** (5): Period for divergence swing comparison, range 2-20
**Optimization Guidelines:**
- **Shorter Duration** (2-3): More frequent signals, higher noise
- **Longer Duration** (5-7): Fewer signals, better quality
- **Smaller Lookback** (10-15): Faster response, may miss context
- **Larger Lookback** (30-50): More context, potentially delayed signals
**Signal Interpretation Guide**
**Visual Signal Hierarchy:**
**Light Green Triangle (Buy):**
- RSI recovered from oversold
- Duration requirements met
- Entry on reversal from oversold territory
**Light Red Triangle (Sell):**
- RSI declined from overbought
- Duration requirements met
- Entry on reversal from overbought territory
**Blue Triangle (Strong Buy):**
- Buy signal with bullish divergence
- Highest probability long setup
- Price made lower low, RSI made higher low
**Magenta Triangle (Strong Sell):**
- Sell signal with bearish divergence
- Highest probability short setup
- Price made higher high, RSI made lower high
**Tiny Green Circle (M+):**
- RSI crossed above 50 after oversold
- Momentum confirmation for uptrend
- Secondary entry or trend confirmation
**Tiny Red Circle (M-):**
- RSI crossed below 50 after overbought
- Momentum confirmation for downtrend
- Secondary entry or trend confirmation
**Background Coloring:**
- **Light Red Background**: RSI > 70 (overbought zone)
- **Light Green Background**: RSI < 30 (oversold zone)
**Trading Strategy Application**
**Conservative Approach (Strong Signals Only):**
1. Wait for blue/magenta triangles (divergence confirmed)
2. Enter on signal bar close or next bar open
3. Stop loss beyond recent swing high/low
4. Target minimum 2:1 risk/reward ratio
**Aggressive Approach (All Signals):**
1. Take light green/red triangles for earlier entries
2. Use momentum circles as confirmation
3. Tighter stops with partial profit taking
4. Scale positions based on signal strength
**Momentum Trading:**
1. Use momentum signals (M+/M-) as trend filters
2. Take primary signals aligned with momentum direction
3. Avoid counter-momentum signals in strong trends
4. Exit when opposing momentum signal appears
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
1. Check higher timeframe for strong signals
2. Execute on lower timeframe primary signals
3. Use momentum signals for position management
4. Align all timeframe signals for best probability
**Optimal Market Conditions**
**Best Performance:**
- Mean-reverting markets with clear RSI extremes
- Range-bound or consolidating conditions
- Markets respecting support/resistance levels
- Timeframes: 15min to 4H for active trading
**Strong Signal Advantages:**
- Divergence signals often mark major turning points
- Work well at market structure levels
- Effective in both trending and ranging markets
- Higher success rate justifies waiting for setup
**Momentum Signal Benefits:**
- Confirms trend direction after extreme readings
- Useful for adding to positions
- Helps avoid counter-trend trades
- Works well in trending markets where reversals fail
**Technical Advantages**
**Divergence Accuracy:**
The improved divergence detection uses proper swing analysis rather than simple bar-to-bar comparison. This identifies genuine momentum shifts where price action diverges from oscillator movement over a meaningful period.
**Duration Logic:**
The for-loop counting method ensures the system checks actual RSI values within the lookback period, not just whether RSI touched levels. This distinguishes between sustained conditions and brief spikes.
**Momentum Filter:**
The 50-line crosses after extreme conditions provide an additional confirmation layer, helping traders distinguish between failed reversals (no momentum follow-through) and sustained moves (momentum confirmation).
**Risk Management Integration**
**Signal Priority:**
1. **Highest**: Strong signals with divergence (blue/magenta triangles)
2. **Medium**: Primary signals without divergence (light green/red triangles)
3. **Confirmation**: Momentum signals (tiny circles)
**Position Sizing:**
- Larger positions on strong signals (divergence present)
- Standard positions on primary signals
- Smaller positions or adds on momentum signals
**Stop Placement:**
- Beyond recent swing structure
- Below/above divergence swing low/high for strong signals
- Trail stops when momentum signals align with position
**Alert System**
Built-in alert conditions for:
- Buy Signal: RSI buy without divergence
- Sell Signal: RSI sell without divergence
- Strong Buy Alert: Buy with bullish divergence
- Strong Sell Alert: Sell with bearish divergence
Configure alerts via TradingView's alert system to receive notifications for chosen signal types.
**Important Considerations**
**Strengths:**
- Multiple confirmation layers reduce false signals
- Classical divergence improves reversal detection
- Momentum signals add trend-following capability
- Highly customizable for different trading styles
- No repainting - all signals fixed at bar close
**Limitations:**
- Duration requirements may cause missed quick reversals
- Divergence lookback period affects sensitivity
- Not suitable as standalone system
- Requires understanding of RSI principles and divergence concepts
**Best Practices:**
- Combine with price action and support/resistance
- Use higher timeframe context for directional bias
- Respect overall market trend and structure
- Implement proper position sizing based on signal type
- Test parameters on your specific instrument and timeframe
**Comparison Summary**
This enhanced version represents a significant upgrade:
- Upgraded to Pine Script v5 modern standards
- Proper classical divergence detection (not simplified)
- Added momentum confirmation signals
- Fully customizable parameters via inputs
- Visual background zone highlighting
- Comprehensive alert system
- Better signal differentiation through color coding
The system transforms basic RSI analysis into a multi-dimensional trading tool suitable for various market conditions and trading styles.
**Disclaimer**: This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes. While the multi-layer filtering and classical divergence detection improve upon standard RSI implementations, no indicator guarantees profitable trades. The duration filtering reduces false signals but may delay entries. Divergence signals, while statistically favorable, can fail in strong trending conditions. Always use proper risk management, position sizing, and stop-loss orders. Consider multiple confirmation methods and market context before making trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Hosoda’s CloudsMany investors aim to develop trading systems with a high win rate, mistakenly associating it with substantial profits. In reality, high returns are typically achieved through greater exposure to market trends, which inevitably lowers the win rate due to increased risk and more volatile conditions.
The system I present, called “Hosoda’s Clouds” in honor of Goichi Hosoda , the creator of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator, is likely one of the first profitable systems many traders will encounter. Designed to capture trends, it performs best in markets with clear directional movements and is less suitable for range-bound markets like Forex, which often exhibit lateral price action.
This system is not recommended for low timeframes, such as minute charts, due to the random and emotionally driven nature of price movements in those periods. For a deeper exploration of this topic, I recommend reading my article “Timeframe is Everything”, which discusses the critical importance of selecting the appropriate timeframe.
I suggest testing and applying the “Hosoda’s Clouds” strategy on assets with a strong trending nature and a proven track record of performance. Ideal markets include Tesla (1-hour, 4-hour, and daily), BTC/USDT (daily), SPY (daily), and XAU/USD (daily), as these have consistently shown clear directional trends over time.
Commissions and Configuration
Commissions can be adjusted in the system’s settings to suit individual needs. For evaluating the effectiveness of “Hosoda’s Clouds,” I’ve used a standard commission of $1 per order as a baseline, though this can be modified in the code to accommodate different brokers or preferences.
The margin per trade is set to $1,000 by default, but users are encouraged to experiment with different margin settings in the configuration to match their trading style.
Rules of the “Hosoda’s Clouds” System (Bullish Strategy)
This strategy is designed to capture trending movements in bullish markets using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator. The rules are as follows:
Long Entry: A long position is triggered when the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen below the Ichimoku cloud, identifying potential reversals or bounces in a bearish context.
Stop Loss (SL): Placed at the low of the candle 12 bars prior to the entry candle. This setting has proven optimal in my tests, but it can be adjusted in the code based on risk tolerance.
Take Profit (TP): The position is closed when the Tenkan-sen crosses below the bottom of the Ichimoku cloud (the minimum of Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B).
Notes on the Code
margin_long=0: Ideal for strategies requiring a fixed position size, particularly useful for manual entries or testing with a constant capital allocation.
margin_long=100: Recommended for high-frequency systems where positions are closed quickly, simulating gradual growth based on realized profits and reflecting real-world broker constraints.

Conclusion
With the “ Hosoda’s Clouds ” strategy, I aim to showcase the potential of technical analysis to generate consistent profits in trending markets, challenging recent doubts about its effectiveness.

I hope it encourages the creation of new strategies, fosters creativity in technical analysis, and empowers traders to approach the markets with confidence and discipline.
Opening Range IndicatorComplete Trading Guide: Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What Are Opening Ranges?
Opening ranges capture the high and low prices during the first few minutes of market open. These levels often act as key support and resistance throughout the trading day because:
Heavy volume occurs at market open as overnight orders execute
Institutional activity is concentrated during opening minutes
Price discovery happens as market participants react to overnight news
Psychological levels are established that traders watch all day
Understanding the Three Timeframes
OR5 (5-Minute Range: 9:30-9:35 AM)
Most sensitive - captures immediate market reaction
Quick signals but higher false breakout rate
Best for scalping and momentum trading
Use for early entry when conviction is high
OR15 (15-Minute Range: 9:30-9:45 AM)
Balanced approach - most popular among day traders
Moderate sensitivity with better reliability
Good for swing trades lasting several hours
Primary timeframe for most strategies
OR30 (30-Minute Range: 9:30-10:00 AM)
Most reliable but slower signals
Lower false breakout rate
Best for position trades and trend following
Use when looking for major moves
Core Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Basic Breakout
Setup:
Wait for price to break above OR15 high or below OR15 low
Enter on the breakout candle close
Stop loss: Opposite side of the range
Target: 2-3x the range size
Example:
OR15 range: $100.00 - $102.00 (Range = $2.00)
Long entry: Break above $102.00
Stop loss: $99.50 (below OR15 low)
Target: $104.00+ (2x range size)
Strategy 2: Multiple Confirmation
Setup:
Wait for OR5 break first (early signal)
Confirm with OR15 break in same direction
Enter on OR15 confirmation
Stop: Below OR30 if available, or OR15 opposite level
Why it works:
Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals and increases probability of sustained moves.
Strategy 3: Failed Breakout Reversal
Setup:
Price breaks OR15 level but fails to hold
Wait for re-entry into the range
Enter reversal trade toward opposite OR level
Stop: Recent breakout high/low
Target: Opposite side of range + extension
Key insight: Failed breakouts often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
Range Quality Assessment
High-Quality Ranges (Trade these):
Range size: 0.5% - 2% of stock price
Clean boundaries (not choppy)
Volume spike during range formation
Clear rejection at range levels
Low-Quality Ranges (Avoid these):
Very narrow ranges (<0.3% of stock price)
Extremely wide ranges (>3% of stock price)
Choppy, overlapping candles
Low volume during formation
Volume Confirmation
For Breakouts:
Look for volume spike (2x+ average) on breakout
Declining volume often signals false breakout
Rising volume during range formation shows interest
Market Context Filters
Best Conditions:
Trending market days (SPY/QQQ with clear direction)
Earnings reactions or news-driven moves
High-volume stocks with good liquidity
Volatility above average (VIX considerations)
Avoid Trading When:
Extremely low volume days
Major economic announcements pending
Holidays or half-days
Choppy, sideways market conditions
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Conservative: Risk 0.5% of account per trade
Moderate: Risk 1% of account per trade
Aggressive: Risk 2% maximum per trade
Stop Loss Placement
Inside the range: Quick exit but higher stop-out rate
Outside opposite level: More room but larger risk
ATR-based: 1.5-2x Average True Range below entry
Profit Taking
Target 1: 1x range size (take 50% off)
Target 2: 2x range size (take 25% off)
Runner: Trail remaining 25% with moving stops
Specific Entry Techniques
Breakout Entry Methods
Method 1: Immediate Entry
Enter as soon as price closes above/below range
Fastest entry but highest false signal rate
Best for strong momentum situations
Method 2: Pullback Entry
Wait for breakout, then pullback to range level
Enter when price bounces off former resistance/support
Better risk/reward but may miss some moves
Method 3: Volume Confirmation
Wait for breakout + volume spike
Enter after volume confirmation candle
Reduces false signals significantly
Multiple Timeframe Entries
Aggressive: OR5 break → immediate entry
Conservative: OR5 + OR15 + OR30 all align → enter
Balanced: OR15 break with OR30 support → enter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Trading Poor-Quality Ranges
❌ Don't trade ranges that are too narrow or too wide
✅ Focus on clean, well-defined ranges with good volume

AlgoPilotX - Breakout & Breakdown Meter (v1)Version Note:
This is a revised and improved version of the AlgoPilotX – Breakout & Breakdown Meter. It includes expanded explanations of the underlying logic, variable usage, and originality to comply with TradingView guidelines.
AlgoPilotX – Breakout & Breakdown Meter is a structured trading tool that combines Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection, session-based support/resistance breakouts, and a clean market condition info panel. It’s designed to help traders spot potential setups early and confirm stronger breakouts or breakdowns with context from momentum, volatility, and trend indicators.
How It Works
Session Levels → The first candle high/low of the session defines dynamic support/resistance. Unlike static pivots, these levels update with each new trading session and reflect real intraday sentiment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) → A three-candle imbalance highlights inefficiencies. When detected, the script marks the open of the third candle as a potential entry (light green/red arrow).
Pullback Confirmations → If price pulls back into session support/resistance and then breaks away strongly, a stronger entry signal (dark green/red arrow) is plotted.
Breakouts & Breakdowns → Additional arrows appear when price crosses decisively above resistance or below support.
Signal Hierarchy → Arrows vary by color/size:
Light = early/potential setups.
Dark/Large = stronger confirmations.
Info Panel Dashboard → RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and EMAs are displayed in a compact table with both numeric values and Bullish/Bearish/Neutral states, color-coded for quick interpretation.
How the Functions and Variables Work Together
Session Levels (Support & Resistance)
The script uses time() and session inputs to identify the first candle of the chosen trading session.
Variables sessionHigh and sessionLow are stored with var so they persist until the next session.
These levels are then plotted as dynamic support/resistance lines. This approach is different from static pivots or daily highs/lows, because it adapts in real-time to the market open.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
Conditions check for three-candle imbalances ( low > high for bullish, high < low for bearish).
When detected, a potential entry is marked at the open of the third candle.
Variables fvgBull and fvgBear define this logic , making FVGs a core entry condition rather than a side overlay.
Entry Hierarchy (Light vs. Dark Arrows)
longPotentialEntry and shortPotentialEntry mark light green/red arrows as early signals.
pullbackToSupport and pullbackToResistance build on these by requiring price to return to session levels and then break away again.
This creates the dark green/red arrows for stronger entries, introducing a two-step filtering process.
Breakout & Breakdown Detection
breakAbove = ta.crossover(close, sessionHigh)
breakBelow = ta.crossunder(close, sessionLow)
These conditions confirm true breakouts or breakdowns beyond support/resistance, reducing noise.
Info Panel Construction
A table is created and updated each bar.
Functions like ta.rsi(), ta.ema(), ta.sma(), and ta.stdev() calculate RSI, MACD, EMAs, and Bollinger Bands.
Each indicator’s state is summarized into human-readable text (e.g., “Bullish,” “Bearish,” “Above,” “Oversold”) and displayed with color coding using the helper function f_stateColor().
Values are also displayed numerically (RSI, MACD histogram, EMA levels, BB width), making this a dashboard rather than just arrows on a chart.
Helper Function for States
f_stateColor(state) translates qualitative states into consistent colors (green for bullish/above, red for bearish/below, orange for neutral, purple for overbought/oversold).
This ensures that every signal in the info panel has a visual identity that traders can read instantly.
Alerts Integration
alertcondition() is tied to each major event: FVG potential entries, strong pullback confirmations, and breakout/breakdown signals.
This allows the script to be used for alerts, notifications and automation , not just visual charting.
How to Use
1. Default timeframe = 15m (adjustable).
2. The first session candle defines support & resistance.
3. Watch for arrows:
Light green (▲) below candle → Potential breakout long (FVG detected).
Dark green (▲) below candle → Strong breakout confirmation after pullback.
Light red (▼) above candle → Potential breakdown short (FVG detected).
Dark red (▼) above candle → Strong breakdown confirmation after pullback.
Larger arrows = higher confidence signals.
4. Check the Info Panel for context:
RSI → momentum
MACD → trend confirmation
Bollinger Bands → overbought/oversold
EMA20 & EMA50 → short- and medium-term trend bias
5. Always confirm with your own price action, volume, and risk management rules.
6. Easily move the Info Panel to any corner of the chart via settings to keep your view clear.
Why This Structure Is Original
Not a mashup : Instead of simply overlaying RSI, MACD, or EMAs, the script integrates them into a signal-filtering framework.
Dynamic anchoring: Session-based high/low variables make levels adaptive to intraday structure, unlike fixed pivots.
Dual entry tiering: Light vs. dark arrows are built by combining FVGs + pullback conditions, offering nuance most breakout scripts lack.
Dashboard-style panel: Variables are summarized into a real-time info box with both numbers and state labels, replacing multiple chart overlays with one compact tool.
Modular functions: Breakout, pullback, FVG detection, and indicator states are modularized with separate variables — making the script flexible, extendable, and unique in design.

Expected Value Monte CarloI created this indicator after noticing that there was no Expected Value indicator here on TradingView.
The EVMC provides statistical Expected Value to what might happen in the future regarding the asset you are analyzing.
It uses 2 quantitative methods:
Historical Backtest to ground your analysis in long-term, factual data.
Monte Carlo Simulation to project a cone of probable future outcomes based on recent market behavior.
This gives you a data-driven edge to quantify risk, and make more informed trading decisions.
The indicator includes:
Dual analysis: Combines historical probability with forward-looking simulation.
Quantified projections: Provides the Expected Value ($ and %), Win Rate, and Sharpe Ratio for both methods.
Asset-aware: Automatically adjusts its calculations for Stocks (252 trading days) and Crypto (365 days) for mathematical accuracy.
The projection cone shows the mean expected path and the +/- 1 standard deviation range of outcomes.
No repainting
Calculation:
1. Historical Expected Value:
This is a systematic backtest over thousands of bars. It calculates the return Rᵢ for N past trades (buy-and-hold). The Historical EV is the simple average of these returns, giving a baseline performance measure.
Historical EV % = (Σ Rᵢ) / N
2. Monte Carlo Projection:
This projection uses the Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) model to simulate thousands of future price paths based on the market's recent behavior.
It first measures the drift (μ), or recent trend, and volatility (σ), or recent risk, from the Projection Lookback period. It then projects a final return for each simulation using the core GBM formula:
Projected Return = exp( (μ - σ²/2)T + σ√T * Z ) - 1
(Where T is the time horizon and Z is a random variable for the simulation.)
The purple line on the chart is the average of all simulated outcomes (the Monte Carlo EV). The cone represents one standard deviation of those outcomes.
The dashed lines represent one standard deviation (+/- 1σ) from the average, forming a cone of probable outcomes. Roughly 68% of the simulated paths ended within this cone.
This projection answers the question: "If the recent trend and volatility continue, where is the price most likely to go?"
Here's how to read the indicator
Expected Value ($/%): Is my average trade profitable?
Win Rate: How often can I expect to be right?
Sharpe Ratio: Am I being adequately compensated for the risk I'm taking?
User Guide
Max trade duration (bars): This is your analysis timeframe. Are you interested in the probable outcome over the next month (21 bars), quarter (63 bars), or year (252 bars)?
Position size ($): Set this to your typical trade size to see the Expected Value in real dollar terms.
Projection lookback (bars): This is the most important input for the Monte Carlo model. A short lookback (e.g., 50) makes the projection highly sensitive to recent momentum. Use this to identify potential recency bias. A long lookback (e.g., 252) provides a more stable, long-term projection of trend and volatility.
Historical Lookback (bars): For the historical backtest, more data is always better. Use the maximum that your TradingView plan allows for the most statistically significant results.
Use TP/SL for Historical EV: Check this box to see how the historical performance would have changed if you had used a simple Take Profit and Stop Loss, rather than just holding for the full duration.
I hope you find this indicator useful and please let me know if you have any suggestions. 😊
ORB Breakout Strategy with reversalORB 1,5,15,30,60min with reversals, its my first strategy Im not 100% sure it works well. Im not a programmer nor a profitable trader.
Max stoploss in points sets maximum fixed stoploss
Stop offset sets additional points below/above signal bar
RR Ratio is pretty self explanatory, it sets target based on stoploss
American session is time when positions can be opened
ORB SessionIs basically almost the same but when the time runs it closes all positions\
ORB candle timeframe is the time which orb is measured
Enable reverse position enables reversing positions on stoploss of first position, stoploss of reverse position is based on max stoploss and target is set by RR times max stoploss
Im sharing this to share this with my friends, discuss some things and dont have to test it manually.
I made it all myself and with help of AI
Sorry for bad english

QZ Trend (Crypto Edition) v1.1a: Donchian, EMA, ATR, Liquidity/FThe "QZ Trend (Crypto Edition)" is a rules-based trend-following breakout strategy for crypto spot or perpetual contracts, focusing on following trends, prioritizing risk control, seeking small losses and big wins, and trading only when advantageous.
Key mechanisms include:
- Market filters: Screen favorable conditions via ADX (trend strength), dollar volume (liquidity), funding fee windows, session/weekend restrictions, and spot-long-only settings.
- Signals & entries: Based on price position relative to EMA and EMA trends, combined with breaking Donchian channel extremes (with ATR ratio confirmation), plus single-position rules and post-exit cooldowns.
- Position sizing: Calculate positions by fixed risk percentage; initial stop-loss is ATR-based, complying with exchange min/max lot requirements.
- Exits & risk management: Include initial stop-loss, trailing stop (tightens only), break-even rule (stop moves to entry when target floating profit is hit), time-based exit, and post-exit cooldowns.
- Pyramiding: Add positions only when profitable with favorable momentum, requiring ATR-based spacing; add size is a fraction of the base position, with layers sharing stop logic but having unique order IDs.
Charts display EMA, Donchian channels, current stop lines, and highlight low ADX, avoidable funding windows, and low-liquidity periods.
Recommend starting with 4H or 1D timeframes, with typical parameters varying by cycle. Liquidity settings differ by token; perpetuals should enable funding window filters, while spot requires "long-only" and matching fees. The strategy performs well in trends with quick stop-losses but faces whipsaws in ranges (filters mitigate but don’t eliminate noise). Share your symbol and timeframe for tailored parameters.
Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)
- Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites)
- Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization
Visual Customization
- Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state
- Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range
- TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure
- Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range
Clean Chart Presentation
- Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites)
- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites

BUY & SELL Probability (M5..D1) - MTFMTF Probability Indicator (M5 to D1)
Indicator — Dual Histogram with Buy/Sell Labels
This indicator is designed to provide a probabilistic bias for bullish or bearish conditions by combining three different analytical components across multiple timeframes. The goal is to reduce noise from single-indicator signals and instead highlight confluence where trend, momentum, and strength agree.
Why this combination is useful
- EMA(200) Trend Filter: Identifies whether price is trading above or below a widely used long-term moving average.
- MACD Momentum: Detects short-term directional momentum through line crossovers.
- ADX Strength: Measures how strong the trend is, preventing signals in weak or flat markets.
By combining these, the indicator avoids situations where one tool signals a trade but others do not, helping to filter out low-probability setups.
How it works
- Each timeframe (M5, M15, H1, H4, D1) generates its own trend, momentum, and strength score.
- Scores are weighted according to user-defined importance and then aggregated into a single probability.
- Proximity to recent support and resistance levels can adjust the final score, accounting for nearby barriers.
- The final probability is displayed as:
- Histogram (subwindow): Green bars for bullish probability >50%, red bars for bearish <50%.
- On-chart labels: Showing exact buy/sell percentages on the last bar for quick reference.
Inputs
- EMA length (default 200), MACD settings, ADX period.
- Weights for each timeframe and component (trend, momentum, strength).
- Optional boost for the chart’s current timeframe.
- Smoothing length for probability values.
- Lookback period for support/resistance adjustment.
How to use it
- A green histogram above zero indicates bullish probability >50%.
- A red histogram below zero indicates bearish probability >50%.
- Neutral readings near 50% show low confluence and may be best avoided.
- Users can adjust weights to emphasize higher or lower timeframes, depending on their trading style.
Notes
- This script does not guarantee profitable trades.
- Best used together with price action, volume, or additional confirmation tools.
- Signals are calculated only on closed bars to avoid repainting.
- For testing and learning purposes — not financial advice.
