Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy Description:
The Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy is designed to leverage market volatility specifically in Bitcoin (BTC) using a combination of volatility indicators and trend-following techniques. This strategy utilizes the VIXFix (a volatility indicator adapted for crypto markets) and the BVOL7D (Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Index from BitMEX) to identify periods of high volatility, while confirming trends with the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). These components work together to offer a comprehensive system that traders can use to enter positions when volatility and trends are aligned in their favor.
Key Features:
VIXFix (Volatility Index for Crypto Markets): This indicator measures the highest price of Bitcoin over a set period and compares it with the current low price to gauge market volatility. A rise in VIXFix indicates increasing market volatility, signaling that large price movements could occur.
BVOL7D (Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Index): This volatility index, provided by BitMEX, measures the volatility of Bitcoin over the past 7 days. It helps traders monitor the recent volatility trend in the market, particularly useful when making short-term trading decisions.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The 50-period EMA acts as a trend indicator. When the price is above the EMA, it suggests the market is in an uptrend, and when the price is below the EMA, it suggests a downtrend.
How It Works:
Long Entry: A long position is triggered when both the VIXFix and BVOL7D indicators are rising, signaling increased volatility, and the price is above the 50-period EMA, confirming that the market is trending upward.
Exit: The strategy exits the position when the price crosses below the 50-period EMA, which signals a potential weakening of the uptrend and a decrease in volatility.
This strategy ensures that traders only enter positions when the volatility aligns with a clear trend, minimizing the risk of entering trades during periods of market uncertainty.
Testing and Timeframe:
This strategy has been tested on Bitcoin using the daily timeframe, which provides a longer-term perspective on market trends and volatility. However, users can adjust the timeframe according to their trading preferences. It is crucial to note that this strategy does not include comprehensive risk management, aside from the exit condition when the price crosses below the EMA. Users are strongly advised to implement their own risk management techniques, such as setting appropriate stop-loss levels, to safeguard their positions during high volatility periods.
Utility:
The Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy is particularly well-suited for traders who aim to capitalize on the high volatility often seen in the Bitcoin market. By combining volatility measurements (VIXFix and BVOL7D) with a trend-following mechanism (EMA), this strategy helps identify optimal moments for entering and exiting trades. This approach ensures that traders participate in potentially profitable market moves while minimizing exposure during times of uncertainty.
Use Cases:
Volatility-Based Entries: Traders looking to take advantage of market volatility spikes will find this strategy useful for timing entry points during market swings.
Trend Confirmation: By using the EMA as a confirmation tool, traders can avoid entering trades that go against the trend, which can result in significant losses during volatile market conditions.
Risk Management: While the strategy exits when price falls below the EMA, it is important to recognize that this is not a full risk management system. Traders should use caution and integrate additional risk measures, such as stop-losses and position sizing, to better manage potential losses.
How to Use:
Step 1: Monitor the VIXFix and BVOL7D indicators. When both are rising and the Bitcoin price is above the EMA, the strategy will trigger a long entry, indicating that the market is experiencing increased volatility with a confirmed uptrend.
Step 2: Exit the position when the price drops below the 50-period EMA, signaling that the trend may be reversing or weakening, reducing the likelihood of continued upward price movement.
This strategy is open-source and is intended to help traders navigate volatile market conditions, particularly in Bitcoin, using proven indicators for volatility and trend confirmation.
Risk Disclaimer:
This strategy has been tested on the daily timeframe of Bitcoin, but users should be aware that it does not include built-in risk management except for the below-EMA exit condition. Users should be extremely cautious when using this strategy and are encouraged to implement their own risk management, such as using stop-losses, position sizing, and setting appropriate limits. Trading involves significant risk, and this strategy does not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always test any strategy in a demo environment before applying it to live markets.

Fractal Breakout Trend Following StrategyOverview
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following Strategy is a trend-following system which utilizes the Willams Fractals and Alligator to execute the long trades on the fractal's breakouts which have a high probability to be the new uptrend phase beginning. This system also uses the normalized Average True Range indicator to filter trades after a large moves, because it's more likely to see the trend continuation after a consolidation period. Strategy can execute only long trades.
Unique Features
Trend and volatility filtering system: Strategy uses Williams Alligator to filter the counter-trend fractals breakouts and normalized Average True Range to avoid the trades after large moves, when volatility is high
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Flexible Risk Management: Users can choose the stop-loss percent (by default = 3%) for trades, but strategy also has the dynamic stop-loss level using down fractals.
Methodology
The strategy places stop order at the last valid fractal breakout level. Validity of this fractal is defined by the Williams Alligator indicator. If at the moment of time when price breaking the last fractal price is higher than Alligator's teeth line (8 period SMA shifted 5 bars in the future) this is a valid breakout. Moreover strategy has the additional volatility filtering system using normalized ATR. It calculates the average normalized ATR for last user-defined number of bars and if this value lower than the user-defined threshold value the long trade is executed.
When trade is opened, script places the stop loss at the price higher of two levels: user defined stop-loss from the position entry price or down fractal validation level. The down fractal is valid with the rule, opposite as the up fractal validation. Price shall break to the downside the last down fractal below the Willians Alligator's teeth line.
Strategy has no fixed take profit. Exit level changes with the down fractal validation level. If price is in strong uptrend trade is going to be active until last down fractal is not valid. Strategy closes trade when price hits the down fractal validation level.
Risk Management
The strategy employs a combined approach to risk management:
It allows positions to ride the trend as long as the price continues to move favorably, aiming to capture significant price movements. It features a user-defined stop-loss parameter to mitigate risks based on individual risk tolerance. By default, this stop-loss is set to a 3% drop from the entry point, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages Williams Fractals to open long trade when price has broken the key resistance level to the upside. This resistance level is the last up fractal and is shall be broken above the Williams Alligator's teeth line to be qualified as the valid breakout according to this strategy. The Alligator filtering increases the probability to avoid the false breakouts against the current trend.
Moreover strategy has an additional filter using Average True Range(ATR) indicator. If average value of ATR for the last user-defined number of bars is lower than user-defined threshold strategy can open the long trade according to open trade condition above. The logic here is following: we want to open trades after period of price consolidation inside the range because before and after a big move price is more likely to be in sideways, but we need a trend move to have a profit.
Another one important feature is how the exit condition is defined. On the one hand, strategy has the user-defined stop-loss (3% below the entry price by default). It's made to give users the opportunity to restrict their losses according to their risk-tolerance. On the other hand, strategy utilizes the dynamic exit level which is defined by down fractal activation. If we assume the breaking up fractal is the beginning of the uptrend, breaking down fractal can be the start of downtrend phase. We don't want to be in long trade if there is a high probability of reversal to the downside. This approach helps to not keep open trade if trend is not developing and hold it if price continues going up.

IsAlgo - Support & Resistance Strategy► Overview:
The Support & Resistance Strategy is designed to identify critical support and resistance levels and execute trades when the price crosses these levels. Utilizing a combination of a moving average, ATR indicator, and the highest and lowest prices, this strategy aims to accurately pinpoint entry and exit points for trades based on market movements.
► Description:
The Support & Resistance Strategy leverages the ATR (Average True Range) and a moving average to identify key support and resistance levels. The strategy calculates these levels by measuring the distance between the current market price and the moving average. This distance is continuously compared with each new candle to provide an estimate of the support and resistance levels.
The ATR is utilized to determine the width of these levels, ensuring they adjust to market volatility. To validate these levels, the strategy counts how often a candle’s low or high touches the estimated support or resistance and then bounces back. A higher frequency of such touches indicates a stronger, more reliable level.
Once the levels are confirmed, the strategy waits for a candle to close above the resistance level or below the support level. A candle closing above the resistance triggers a long entry, while a candle closing below the support triggers a short entry.
The strategy incorporates multiple stop-loss options to manage risk effectively. These options include setting stop-loss levels based on fixed pips, ATR calculations, or the highest/lowest prices of previous candles. Up to three take-profit levels can be set using fixed pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios. A trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, and a break-even feature moves the stop loss to the entry price once a certain profit level is reached.
Additionally, the strategy can close trades if the price crosses the opposite support or resistance level or if a candle moves significantly against the trade direction.

Momentum Alligator 4h Bitcoin StrategyOverview
The Momentum Alligator 4h Bitcoin Strategy is a trend-following trading system that operates on dual time frames. It utilizes the 1D Williams Alligator indicator to identify the prevailing major price trend and seeks trading opportunities on the 4-hour (4h) time frame when the momentum is turning up. The strategy is designed to close trades if the trend fails to develop or holding position if price continues increasing without any significant correction. Note that this strategy is specifically tailored for the 4-hour time frame.
Unique Features
2-layers market noise filtering system: Trades are only initiated in the direction of the 1D trend, determined by the Williams Alligator indicator. This higher time frame confirmation filters out minor trade signals, focusing on more substantial opportunities. At the same time, strategy has additional filter on 4h time frame with Awesome Oscillator which is showing the current price momentum.
Flexible Risk Management: The strategy exclusively opens long positions, resulting in fewer trades during bear markets. It incorporates a dynamic stop-loss mechanism, which can either follow the jaw line of the 4h Alligator or a user-defined fixed stop-loss. This flexibility helps manage risk and avoid non-trending markets.
Methodology
The strategy initiates a long position when the d-line of Stochastic RSI crosses up it's k-line. It means that there is a high probability that price momentum reversed from down to up. To avoid overtrading in potentially choppy markets, it skips the next two trades following a winning trade, anticipating sideways movement after a significant price surge.
This strategy has two layers trades filtering system: 4h and 1D time frames. The first one is awesome oscillator. It shall be increasing and value has to be higher than it's 5-period SMA. This is an additional confirmation that long trade is opened in the direction of the current momentum. As it was mentioned above, all entry signals are validated against the 1D Williams Alligator indicator. A trade is only opened if the price is above all three lines of the 1D Alligator, ensuring alignment with the major trend.
A trade is closed if the price hits the 4h jaw line of the Alligator or reaches the user-defined stop-loss level.
Risk Management
The strategy employs a combined approach to risk management:
It allows positions to ride the trend as long as the price continues to move favorably, aiming to capture significant price movements. It features a user-defined stop-loss parameter to mitigate risks based on individual risk tolerance. By default, this stop-loss is set to a 2% drop from the entry point, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages Stochastic RSI on 4h time frame to open long trade when momentum started reversing to the upside. On the one hand, Stochastic RSI is one of the most sensitive indicator, which allows to react fast on the potential trend reversal. On the other hand, this indicator can be too sensitive and provide a lot of false trend changing signals. To eliminate this weakness we use two-layers trades filtering system.
The first layer is the 4h Awesome oscillator. This is less sensitive momentum indicator. Usually it starts increasing when price has already passed significant distance from the actual reversal point. The strategy opens long trade only is Awesome oscillator is increasing and above it's 5-period SMA. This approach increases the probability to filter the false signals during the choppy market or if the reversal is false.
The second layer filter is the Williams Alligator indicator on 1D time frame. The 1D Alligator serves as a filter for identifying the primary trend and increases probability to avoid the trades with low potential because trading against major trend usually is more risky. It's much better to catch the trend continuation than local bounce.
Last but not least feature of this strategy is close trades condition. It uses the flexible approach. First of all, user can set up the fixed stop-loss according to his own risk-tolerance, by default this value is 2% of price movement. It restricts the potential loss at the moment when trade has just been opened. Moreover strategy utilizes the 4h Williams Alligator's jaw line to exit the trade. If price fell below it trade is closed. This approach helps to not keep open trade if trend is not developing and hold it if price continues going up.
Backtest Results:
Operating window: Date range of backtests is 2021.01.01 - 2024.05.01. It is chosen to let the strategy to close all opened positions.
Commission and Slippage: Includes a standard Binance commission of 0.1% and accounts for possible slippage over 5 ticks.

Range Average Retest Model [LuxAlgo]The Range Average Retest Model tool highlights setups from the range average retest entry model, a model using the retest of the average between two opposite swing points as an entry.
This tool uses long-term volatility coupled with user-defined multipliers to filter out swing areas and set take profit and stop loss levels for all trades.
Key features include:
Draw up to 165 swing areas and their associated trades
Filter out swing areas using Pivot Length , Selection Mode and Threshold parameters
Filter out trades with Maximum Distance and Minimum Distance parameters
Enable or disable swing areas and select default colors
Enable or disable overlapping trades and change the default colors for Take Profit and Stop Loss zones
🔶 USAGE
The "Range Average Retest Model" is an entry model that enters a position when the price retests the average made between two swing points. Users can determine the period of the detected swing points from the "Pivot Length" setting.
The conditions for long or short trades, regardless of whether the swing area is bullish or bearish, are as follows:
Long positions: the current bar close is below the swing area average and the last bar close was above it.
Short positions: the current bar close is above the swing area average price and the last bar close was below it.
Each trade is displayed on the chart with a line connecting it to its swing area highlighting the range average, a green area for the take profit, and a red area for the stop loss.
Both the Take Profit and Stop Loss levels are calculated by applying your own multiplier in the settings panel to the long-term volatility measure, in this case, the average true range over the last 200 bars.
Trades will remain open until they reach either the Stop Loss or Take Profit price levels.
🔹 Filtering Swing Areas
The daily chart of the Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) with pivot length 2 and bullish selection mode: it only detects bullish swing areas, but they are smaller and more numerous.
Traders can manipulate the behavior of the swing areas from the settings panel.
The Selection mode will filter areas by bias: it will detect bullish areas, bearish areas, or both.
The Threshold parameter is applied to the long-term volatility to filter out areas where the average prices are too close together; the higher the value, the greater the difference between the average prices must be.
🔹 Trades
3-minute chart of the Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) with pivot length 5, bearish selection mode maximum distance 4, and stop loss 2: many trades detected with very asymmetric risk/reward.
The behavior of the trades is also manipulated from the settings panel.
The maximum and minimum distance parameters specify the number of bars a trade must be away from a swing area.
The Take Profit and Stop Loss parameters are applied to the long-term volatility to obtain their respective price levels.
🔹 Overlapping Trades
Same chart as before, but with overlapping trades: messy, right?
By default the tool does not show overlapping trades, this allows for a cleaner chart.
In the settings panel traders can enable overlapping mode, in which case the tool will show all available trades.
Traders must be aware that the chart can be very crowded.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swings
Pivot Length: How many bars are used to confirm a swing point. The larger this parameter is, the larger and fewer swing areas will be detected.
Selection Mode: Swing area detection mode, detect only bullish swings, only bearish swings, or both.
Threshold: Swing area comparator. This threshold is multiplied by a measure of volatility (average true range over the last 200 bars), for a new swing area to be detected it must have an average level that is sufficiently distant from the average level of any untouched swing area, this parameter controls that distance.
🔹 Trades
Maximum distance: Maximum distance allowed between a swing area and a trade.
Minimum distance: Minimum distance allowed between a swing area and a trade.
Take profit: The size of the take profit - this threshold is multiplied by a measure of volatility (the average true range over the last 200 bars).
Stop loss: The size of the stop-loss: this threshold is multiplied by a measure of volatility (the average true range over the last 200 bars).
MACD of Relative Strenght StrategyMACD Relative Strenght Strategy :
INTRODUCTION :
This strategy is based on two well-known indicators: MACD and Relative Strenght (RS). By coupling them, we obtain powerful buy signals. In fact, the special feature of this strategy is that it creates an indicator from an indicator. Thus, we construct a MACD whose source is the value of the RS. The strategy only takes buy signals, ignoring SHORT signals as they are mostly losers. There's also a money management method enabling us to reinvest part of the profits or reduce the size of orders in the event of substantial losses.
RELATIVE STRENGHT :
RS is an indicator that measures the anomaly between momentum and the assumption of market efficiency. It is used by professionals and is one of the most robust indicators. The idea is to own assets that do better than average, based on their past performance. We calculate RS using this formula :
RS = close/highest_high(RS_Length)
Where highest_high(RS_Length) = highest value of the high over a user-defined time period (which is the RS_Length).
We can thus situate the current price in relation to its highest price over this user-defined period.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence - Divergence) :
This is one of the best-known indicators, measuring the distance between two exponential moving averages : one fast and one slower. A wide distance indicates fast momentum and vice versa. We'll plot the value of this distance and call this line macdline. The MACD uses a third moving average with a lower period than the first two. This last moving average will give a signal when it crosses the macdline. It is therefore constructed using the values of the macdline as its source.
It's important to note that the first two MAs are constructed using RS values as their source. So we've just built an indicator of an indicator. This kind of method is very powerful because it is rarely used and brings value to the strategy.
PARAMETERS :
RS Length : Relative Strength length i.e. the number of candles back to find the highest high and compare the current price with this high. Default is 300.
MACD Fast Length : Relative Strength fast EMA length used to plot the MACD. Default is 14.
MACD Slow Length : Relative Strength slow EMA length used to plot the MACD. Default is 26.
MACD Signal Smoothing : Macdline SMA length used to plot the MACD. Default is 10.
Max risk per trade (in %) : The maximum loss a trade can incur (in percentage of the trade value). Default is 8%.
Fixed Ratio : This is the amount of gain or loss at which the order quantity is changed. Default is 400, meaning that for each $400 gain or loss, the order size is increased or decreased by a user-selected amount.
Increasing Order Amount : This is the amount to be added to or subtracted from orders when the fixed ratio is reached. The default is $200, which means that for every $400 gain, $200 is reinvested in the strategy. On the other hand, for every $400 loss, the order size is reduced by $200.
Initial capital : $1000
Fees : Interactive Broker fees apply to this strategy. They are set at 0.18% of the trade value.
Slippage : 3 ticks or $0.03 per trade. Corresponds to the latency time between the moment the signal is received and the moment the order is executed by the broker.
Important : A bot has been used to test the different parameters and determine which ones maximize return while limiting drawdown. This strategy is the most optimal on BITSTAMP:ETHUSD in 8h timeframe with the parameters set by default.
ENTER RULES :
The entry rules are very simple : we open a long position when the MACD value turns positive. You are therefore LONG when the MACD is green.
EXIT RULES :
We exit a position (whether losing or winning) when the MACD becomes negative, i.e. turns red.
RISK MANAGEMENT :
This strategy can incur losses, so it's important to manage our risks well. If the position is losing and has incurred a loss of -8%, our stop loss is activated to limit losses.
MONEY MANAGEMENT :
The fixed ratio method was used to manage our gains and losses. For each gain of an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we increase the order size by a value defined by the user in the "Increasing order amount" parameter. Similarly, each time we lose an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we decrease the order size by the same user-defined value. This strategy increases both performance and drawdown.
Enjoy the strategy and don't forget to take the trade :)
MFR RangeHello Traders!
You requested it for many months, we are finally making our proprietary Range available to all.
First of all, how should a trader consider a Range in general:
In trading, a "range" refers to a specific price interval or zone within which an asset's price moves or consolidates for a period of time. Ranges are characterized by relatively horizontal or sideways price movements, where the price oscillates between a defined upper and lower boundary. Traders often use ranges to identify potential trading opportunities, manage risk, and make trading decisions.
Here's how ranges are used in trading:
1. Range Identification:
Traders identify ranges by observing price charts and looking for periods where the price appears to be moving horizontally with clear upper and lower boundaries.
Common range patterns include rectangles, channels, and horizontal consolidations.
2. Range Trading Strategies:
Range trading strategies aim to profit from price movements within the established range. Traders typically use two main approaches within a range:
Buying near the range's lower boundary: Traders buy when the price approaches the lower end of the range, anticipating a bounce or reversal towards the upper boundary. This is often referred to as "buying support."
Selling near the range's upper boundary: Traders sell when the price approaches the upper end of the range, anticipating a pullback or reversal towards the lower boundary. This is known as "selling resistance."
3. Risk Management:
Stop-loss orders are crucial when trading ranges. Traders set stop-loss orders just outside the range's boundaries to limit potential losses if the price breaks out of the range unpredictably.
4. Range Breakouts:
Ranges do not last indefinitely, and eventually, the price may break out of the range, leading to a significant price movement.
Traders often look for breakout patterns and use breakout trading strategies to capitalize on the potential for a strong price movement after the range is broken.
5. Volatility Consideration:
Some traders may assess the volatility within the range. If the price oscillates within the range with high volatility, they may consider trading shorter timeframes for smaller, quicker profits.
Lower volatility may prompt longer-term traders to take positions within the range, expecting a slower, more controlled price movement.
6. Time Frame Analysis:
Traders may analyze the time frame in which the range has developed, in our case MFR range are based solely on the Daily timeframe.
7. Confirmation Indicators:
Traders often use technical indicators like Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Averages, or Bollinger Bands to confirm range trading signals and assess overbought or oversold conditions.
8. Range Boundaries as Support and Resistance:
Once a range is identified, its upper and lower boundaries can serve as key support and resistance levels even after the range is broken. Traders pay attention to these levels for future trading decisions.
9. Range Expansion:
Some traders look for signs of range expansion, where the price starts to break out or trend strongly. This can signal the end of a range-bound market and a transition to a trending market.
It's important to note that while range trading can be profitable, it requires careful analysis and risk management. Traders must be prepared for the possibility of a breakout that can result in significant losses if they are on the wrong side of the trade. Additionally, market conditions can change, and ranges can evolve into trends or other patterns, so traders need to adapt their strategies accordingly.
What is specific to MFR range?
This script calculates and plots a trading range on a daily timeframe based on historical price data. Based on Benoit Mandelbrot and Edgar E. Peters publications on Range, we run a set of calculations over a defined period. The script will define those to generate the "Range High" and "Range Low". These values are used to define the upper and lower bounds of the trading range.
In short, how could I use this script?
A trader could use the Range to find overbought or oversold points to enter a position. The Lower Range being the price to buy an asset and the Upper Range being the place to sell an asset. This is recommended to be implemented only when our other indication called Trend matches the strategy: buy when the trend is bullish or short when the trend is bearish.
It's important to note that while Range is a useful tool, it should not be relied upon solely for making trading decisions. It's recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and consider other factors such as market conditions, risk management, and fundamental analysis. Remember that the Range indicator is just one tool among many, and it's important to consider other factors such as volume, momentum, volatility, and overall market conditions when making trading decisions. Additionally, using stop-loss orders and proper risk management techniques is crucial to mitigate potential losses.

Myfractalrange TrendHello Traders!
This is our main addition to MFR TradingView account: Myfractalrange Trend.
Many Trend signals exist out there, each trader has at some point created its own.
At Myfractalrange, we have developed a proprietary formula based on Price, Volume and Volatility.
Before going into how subscribers can use the Trend script, let't have a look at the different data point provided one by one:
- Bullish Trend: If the price of the asset is above this value, the asset is considered to be Bullish Trend. Default colour is green
- Bearish Trend : If the price of the asset is below this value, the asset is considered to be Bearish Trend. Default colour is red
- Neutral Trend: If the price of the asset is between the value of the Bullish Trend and the value of the Bearish Trend, the asset is considered to be Neutral Trend. Default colour is yellow
How does the script work?
The provided script is proprietary, so while the specific calculations and data sources cannot be disclosed, here is a broad explanation on how it works:
- It will retrieve the relevant data from the asset, could be volume, close, high, low, etc.
- The script will then check the length for the trend calculation of this specific asset and compute the Trend line
- From the value of this Trend line, we will then generate the "bullish" and "bearish" values
- The script will then plot the Bullish and Bearish values on the chart, the area between both being set as the Neutral area
How to use trend when trading?
When trading, understanding and utilising trends can be valuable for making informed trading decisions. Here are some key ways to use trends in trading:
- Trend Identification: Identifying the presence and direction of a trend is crucial
- Trend Following: One common trading strategy is trend following, which involves trading in the direction of the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, traders may look for opportunities to buy or go long, while in a downtrend, they may seek opportunities to sell or go short. Trend following strategies assume that trends are more likely to continue than reverse, and traders aim to capitalise on sustained price movements
- Trend Reversals: Identifying potential trend reversals is another approach. Traders may look for signs that a trend is losing momentum or showing signs of exhaustion. Traders may then consider taking contrarian positions or closing existing trades.
- Timing Entries and Exits: Trends can help with timing entry and exit points. Traders often aim to enter trades at favourable points within a trend, such as during pullbacks in an uptrend or rallies in a downtrend. This allows them to potentially capture favourable risk-to-reward ratios
- Risk Management: Incorporating trend analysis into risk management is crucial. Traders can set stop-loss orders or trailing stops based on the trend, aiming to protect profits or limit losses if the trend reverses. Position sizing can also be adjusted based on the strength or duration of a trend, with larger positions taken in strong, well-established trends
- Multiple Time Frame Analysis: Examining trends across different time frames can provide a broader perspective. Traders can look for alignment in trends across shorter-term and longer-term charts to gain confidence in their trading decisions. For example, a Trend on a daily chart may align with a Trend on a hourly chart, reinforcing the potential trading opportunity
The Myfractalrange Trend signal can be used for all the possibilities listed above
Here is an example of a Bullish Trend pattern: BTFD set up
Here is an example of a Bearish Trend pattern: STFR set up
Why use Trend in combination with other indicators, such as Hurst and probable Range?
Using Trend in combination with Hurst exponent and probable Range can provide traders with a more comprehensive view of market dynamics and potential trading opportunities. Here's how the three concepts can complement each other:
- Trend Analysis: Trend analysis helps identify the prevailing direction of the market. It provides insights into whether the market is in an uptrend (Bullish), downtrend (Bearish), or sideways consolidation (Neutral). Trend analysis helps traders align their positions with the dominant market direction, increasing the likelihood of successful trades
- Hurst exponent: Hurst exponent is a measure of the persistence or mean reversion characteristics of a time series. It provides insights into the strength and sustainability of price movements. Hurst momentum analysis helps traders understand whether the market is exhibiting trending behaviour or mean-reverting behaviour. It can help identify potential reversals or continuation patterns in the price action.
- Probable Range: The Range refers to the expected price range within which an asset is likely to fluctuate, in our case the MFR Ranges (normal and longer-term). It helps traders set realistic profit targets and stop-loss levels. By combining the probable range with the trend and the Hurst Exponent, traders can better gauge the potential extent of price movements and make more informed decisions regarding entry and exit points.
How to use these tools together?
- Confirmation and Confluence: Combining Trend with Hurst & Range can provide confirmation and confluence signals. For instance, when the trend analysis indicates an uptrend, Hurst confirms strong positive momentum and Range confirms the upside potential, it provides a stronger signal for potential bullish trades
- Timing Entries and Exits: The combination of trend analysis, Hurst and Range can assist in timing entry and exit points. For example, when trend analysis indicates an uptrend, traders can look for bullish signals from Hurst value and low of the MFR Range to identify potential entry points during pullbacks or periods of consolidation. Conversely, in a downtrend, bearish signals from Hurst at the top of the MFR Range can guide traders in identifying potential short-selling opportunities during corrective rallies
- Risk Management: The integration of trend analysis with Hurst and Range can also aid in risk management. Traders can adjust their stop-loss levels and profit targets based on the strength of the trend, its strength and its Range. Tighter stop-loss levels can be set when both trend analysis, Hurst value and Range are aligned, indicating a higher probability of trend continuation. Conversely, wider stop-loss levels may be used when conflicting signals or weakening trends are observed
By combining Trend analysis, Hurst exponent and MFR probable Range, traders can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market's behaviour and make more informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that while Trend is a useful tool, it should not be relied upon solely for making trading decisions. It's recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and consider other factors such as market conditions, risk management, and fundamental analysis. Remember that the momentum indicator is just one tool among many, and it's important to consider other factors such as volume, momentum, volatility, and overall market conditions when making trading decisions. Additionally, using stop-loss orders and proper risk management techniques is crucial to mitigate potential losses.

Bollinger Bands Strategy with Intraday Intensity IndexFor Educational Purposes. Results can differ on different markets and can fail at any time. Profit is not guaranteed.
This only works in a few markets and in certain situations. Changing the settings can give better or worse results for other markets.
This is a mean reversion strategy based on Bollinger Bands and the Intraday Intensity Index (a volume indicator). John Bollinger mentions that the Intraday Intensity Index can be used with Bollinger Bands and is one of the top indicators he recommends in his book. It seems he prefers it over the other volume indicators that he compares to for some reason. III looks a lot like Chaikin Money Flow but without the denominator in that calculation. On the default settings of the BBs, the III helps give off better entry signals. John Bollinger however is vague on how to use the BBs and it's hard to say if one should enter when it is below/above the bands or when the price crosses them. I find that with many indicators and strategies it's best to wait for a confirmation of some sort, in this case by waiting for some crossover of a band. Like most mean reversion strategies, the exit is very loose if using BBs alone. Usually the plan to exit is when the price finally reverts back to the mean or in this case the middle band. This can potentially lead to huge drawdowns and/or losses. Mean reversion strategies can have high win/loss ratios but can still end up unprofitable because of the huge losses that can occur. These drawdowns/losses that mean reversion strategies suffer from can potentially eat away at a large chunk of all that was previously made or perhaps up to all of it in the worst cases, can occur weeks or perhaps up to months after being profitable trading such a strategy, and will take a while and several trades to make it all back or keep a profitable track record. It is important to have a stop loss, trailing stop, or some sort of stop plan with these types of strategies. For this one, in addition to exiting the trade when price reverts to the middle band, I included a time-based stop plan that exits with a gain or with a loss to avoid potentially large losses, and to exit after only a few periods after taking the trade if in profit instead of waiting for the price to revert back to the mean.

PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION TO SAVE TIME AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
This is the backtesting version for this script
In this back tested version I have shown it to be used on regular candles with realistic calculations in regards to positions sizes, slippage, fees and more

This is a official version of AltSignals Long/Short Reverse Indicator
Description:
This indicator uses various indicators in combination with each other, some of the key ones to mention is Hulls, EMA , MA. Along with that it uses EMA crossovers to get the precise entries and exits.
The recommended time frames with this indictor are shorter ones, for example 5m,10m,15m work well, along with that I have found that some of the more unique time frames also work well such as 20m,45m,2hr and so on.
This indicator is not super advanced but it's still very powerful, with only 130 lines of code.
This indicator works on every chart, time, and candle type but you must play with the settings to find what is best, the same setting will not work on every pair etc.
With AltSignals Swing Indicator it trades one way, that means it gives 3 pieces of information. BUY/TakeProfit/StopLoss.
Unlike most indicators which Buy and Sell both ways this one focuses on one direction of trading so please take into account when using this.
I have added in a reverse strategy which basically shows the opposite values of of the buy, so if you select the box in the settings and un-tick it, then it will show opposite directions so sells only.
This feature is very useful especially in general bear markets when buying is difficult.
I have also added in the option for no stop losses to be used, if you set the stop loss value = 100 then it will show no stop losses.
I suggest a stop loss somewhere in the region of 1-2-3%, please note that you can use decimal stop losses too so for example 0.1 or 0.5.
This indicator is NOT a once size fits all, every chart is different, time frame and candles also, so i would suggest spending some time going through and playing with the channel length settings, which will change the EMA numbers.
Using this along with the back script to find the ideal settings is the best way to use this script, once you have done that make sure to save those values somewhere.
Its important to remember that the Regular script and the back testing script values should be the same for them to match up on the chart, so the channel lengths, stop losses and so on values should be the same.

Full Range Trading Strategy with DCA - Crypto, Forex, Stocks
Introduction
This is a Pine 4 range trading strategy. It has a twin study with several alerts. The design intent is to produce a commercial grade signal generator that can be adapted to any symbol and interval. Ideally, the script is reliable enough to be the basis of an automated trading system web-hooked to a server with API access to crypto, forex and stock brokerages. The strategy can be run in three different modes: long, short and bidirectional.
As a range trading strategy, the behavior of the script is to buy on weakness and sell on strength. As such trade orders are placed in a counter direction to price pressure. What you will see on the chart is a short position on peaks and a long position on valleys. Just to be clear, the range as well as trends are merely illusions as the chart only receives prices. However, this script attempts to calculate pivot points from the price stream. Rising pivots are shorts and falling pivots are longs. I refer to pivots as a vertex in this script which adds structural components to the chart formation. When trading in “Ping Pong” mode long and short positions are intermingled continuously as long as there exists a detectable vertex. Unfortunately, this can work against your backtest profitability on long duration trends where prices continue in a single direction without pullback. I have designed various features in the script to compensate for this event. A well configured script should perform in a range bound market and minimize losses in a trend. I also have a trend following version of this script for those not interested in trading the range. Please be aware these are two types of traders. You should know who you are.
This script employs a DCA feature which enables users to experiment with loss recovery techniques. This is an advanced feature which can increase the order size on new trades in response to stopped out or winning streak trades. The script keeps track of debt incurred from losing trades. When the debt is recovered the order size returns to the base amount specified in the TV properties tab. The inputs for this feature include a limiter to prevent your account from depleting capital during runaway markets. This implementation of DCA does not use pyramid levels. Only the order size on subsequent new trades are affected. Pyramids on the other hand increase the size of open positions. If you are interested in seeing pyramids in action please see the trend version of this script which features both DCA and pyramids. While DCA is a popular feature in crypto trading, it can make you a “bag” holder if your not careful. In other markets, especially margin trading, you’ll need a well funded account and much trading experience to manage this feature safely.
Consecutive loss limit can be set to report a breach of the threshold value. Every stop hit beyond this limit will be reported on a version 4 label above the bar where the stop is hit. Use the location of the labels along with the summary report tally to improve the adaptability of system. Don’t simply fit the chart. A good trading system should adapt to ever changing market conditions. On the study version the consecutive loss limit can be used to halt live trading on the broker side (managed manually).
Design
This script uses twelve indicators on a single time frame. The original trading algorithms are a port from a much larger program on another trading platform. I’ve converted some of the statistical functions to use standard indicators available on TradingView. The setups make heavy use of the Hull Moving Average in conjunction with EMAs that form the Bill Williams Alligator as described in his book “New Trading Dimensions” Chapter 3. Lag between the Hull and the EMAs form the basis of the entry and exit points. The vertices are calculated using one of five featured indicators. Each indicator is actually a composite of calculations which produce a distinct mean. This mathematical distinction enables the script to be useful on various instruments which belong to entirely different markets. In other words, at least one of these indicators should be able generate pivots on an arbitrarily selected instrument. Try each one to find the best fit.
The entire script is around 1800 lines of Pine code which is the maximum incidental size given the TradingView limits: local scopes, run-time duration and compile time. I’ve been working on this script for nearly two years and have tested it on various instruments stocks, forex and crypto. It performs well on higher liquidity markets that have at least a year of historical data. Although the script can be implemented on any interval, it has been optimized for small time frames down to 5 minutes. The 10 minute BTC/USD produces around 500 trades in 2 ½ months. The 1 hour BTC/USD produces around 1300 trades in 1 ½ years. Originally, this script contained both range trading and trend following logic but had to be broken into separate scripts due to the aforementioned limitations.
Inputs to the script use cone centric measurements in effort to avoid exposing adjustments to the various internal indicators. The goal was to keep the inputs relevant to the actual trade entry and exit locations as opposed to a series of MA input values and the like. As a result the strategy exposes over 50 inputs grouped into long or short sections. Inputs are available for the usual minimum profit and stop-loss as well as safeguards, trade frequency, DCA, modes, presets, reports and lots of calibrations. The inputs are numerous, I’m aware. Unfortunately, at this time, TradingView does not offer any other method to get data in the script. The usual initialization files such as cnf, cfg, ini, json and xml files are currently unsupported.
Example configurations for various instruments along with a detailed PDF user manual is available.
Indicator Repainting And Anomalies
Indicator repainting is an industry wide problem which mainly occurs when you mix backtest data with real-time data. It doesn't matter which platform you use some form of this condition will manifest itself on your chart over time. The critical aspect being whether live trades on your broker’s account continue to match your TradingView study.
Tackling this repainting issue has been a major project goal of this script. Based on my experience with Pine, most of the problems stem from TradingView’s implementation of multiple interval access. Whereas most platform provide a separate bar series for each interval requested, the Pine language interleaves higher time frames with the primary chart interval. The problem is exacerbated by allowing a look-ahead parameter to the Security function. The goal of my repaint prevention is simply to ensure that my signal trading bias remains consistent between the strategy, study and broker. That being said this is what I’ve done address this issue in this script:
1. This script uses only 1 time frame. The chart interval.
2. Every entry and exit condition is evaluated on closed bars only.
3. No security functions are called to avoid a look-ahead possibility.
4. Every contributing factor specified in the TradingView wiki regarding this issue has been addressed.
5. I’ve run a 10 minute chart live for a week and compared it to the same chart periodically reloaded. The two charts were highly correlated with no instances of completely opposite real-time signals.
The study does indeed bring up the TV warning dialog. The only reason for this is because the script uses an EMA indicator which according to TradingView is due to “peculiarities of the algorithm”.
One issue that comes up when comparing the strategy with the study is that the strategy trades show on the chart one bar later than the study. This problem is due to the fact that “strategy.entry()” and “strategy_exit()” do not execute on the same bar called. The study, on the other hand, has no such limitation since there are no position routines.
Please be aware that the data source matters. Cryptocurrency has no central tick repository so each exchange supplies TradingView its feed. Even though it is the same symbol the quality of the data and subsequently the bars that are supplied to the chart varies with the exchange. This script will absolutely produce different results on different data feeds of the same symbol. Be sure to backtest this script on the same data you intend to receive alerts for. Any example settings I share with you will always have the exchange name used to generate the test results.
Usage
The following steps provide a very brief set of instructions that will get you started but will most certainly not produce the best backtest. A trading system that you are willing to risk your hard earned capital will require a well crafted configuration that involves time, expertise and clearly defined goals. As previously mentioned, I have several example configs that I use for my own trading that I can share with you along with a PDF which describes each input in detail. To get hands on experience in setting up your own symbol from scratch please follow the steps below.
The input dialog box contains over 50 inputs separated into five sections. Each section is identified as such with a makeshift separator input. There are three main areas that must to be configured: long side, short side and settings that apply to both. The rest of the inputs apply to DCA, reporting and calibrations. The following steps address these three main areas only. You will need to get your backtest in the black before moving on to the more advanced features.
Step 1. Setup the Base currency and order size in the properties tab.
Step 2. Select the calculation presets in the Instrument Type field.
Step 3. Select “No Trade” in the Trading Mode field.
Step 4. Select the Histogram indicator from Section 2. You will be experimenting with different ones so it doesn’t matter which one you try first.
Step 5. Turn on Show Markers in Section 2.
Step 6. Go to the chart and checkout where the markers show up. Blue is up and red is down. Long trades show up along the red markers and short trades on the blue.
Step 7. Make adjustments to “Base To Vertex” and “Vertex To Base” net change and roc in Section 3. Use these fields to move the markers to where you want trades to be.
Step 8. Try a different indicator from Section 2 and repeat Step 7 until you find the best match for this instrument on this interval. This step is complete when the Vertex settings and indicator combination produce the most favorable results.
Step 9. Go to Section 3 and enable “Apply Red Base To Base Margin”.
Step 10. Go to Section 4 and enable “Apply Blue Base To Base Margin”.
Step 11. Go to Section 2 and adjust “Minimum Base To Base Blue” and “Minimum Base To Base Red”. Observe the chart and note where the markers move relative to each other. Markers further apart will produce less trades but will reduce cutoffs in “Ping Pong” mode.
Step 12. Return to Section 3 and 4 and turn off “Base To Base Margin” which was enabled in steps 9 and 10.
Step 13. Turn off Show Markers in Section 2.
Step 14. Put in your Minimum Profit and Stop Loss in the first section. This is in pips or currency basis points (chart right side scale). Percentage is not currently supported. This is a fixed value minimum profit and stop loss. Also note that the profit is taken as a conditional exit on a market order not a fixed limit. The actual profit taken will almost always be greater than the amount specified. The stop loss, on the other hand, is indeed a hard number which is executed by the TradingView broker simulator when the threshold is breached. On the study version, the stop is executed at the close of the bar.
Step 15. Return to step 3 and select a Trading Mode (Long, Short, BiDir, Ping Pong). If you are planning to trade bidirectionally its best to configure long first then short. Combine them with “BiDir” or “Ping Pong” after setting up both sides of the trade individually. The difference between “BiDir” and “Ping Pong” is that “Ping Pong” uses position reversal and can cut off opposing trades less than the specified minimum profit. As a result “Ping Pong” mode produces the greatest number of trades.
Step 16. Take a look at the chart. Trades should be showing along the markers plotted earlier.
Step 17. Make adjustments to the Vertex fields in Section 2 until the TradingView performance report is showing a profit. This includes the “Minimum Base To Base” fields. If a profit cannot be achieved move on to Step 18.
Step 18. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Long Entry Net Change” and “Long Entry ROC” in Section 3.
Step 19. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Short Entry Net Change” and “Short Entry ROC” in Section 4.
Step 20. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Sparse Long Delta” in Section 3.
Step 21. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Chase Long Delta” in Section 3.
Step 22. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Long Adherence Delta” in Section 3. This field requires the “Adhere to Rising Trend” checkbox to be enabled.
Step 23. Try each checkbox in Section 3 and see if it improves the backtest profitability. The “Caution Lackluster Longs” checkbox only works when “Long Caution Mode” is enabled.
Step 24. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Sparse Short Delta” in Section 4.
Step 25. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Chase Short Delta” in Section 4.
Step 26. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Short Adherence Delta” in Section 4. This field requires the “Adhere to Falling Trend” checkbox to be enabled.
Step 27. Try each checkbox in Section 4 and see if it improves the backtest profitability. The “Caution Lackluster Shorts” checkbox only works when “Short Caution Mode” is enabled.
Step 28. Enable the reporting conditions in Section 5. Look for long runs of consecutive losses or high debt sequences. These are indications that your trading system cannot withstand sudden changes in market sentiment.
Step 29. Examine the chart and see that trades are being placed in accordance with your desired trading goals. This is an important step. If your desired model requires multiple trades per day then you should be seeing hundreds of trades on the chart. Alternatively, you may be looking to trade fewer steep peaks and deep valleys in which case you should see trades at major turning points. Don’t simply settle for what the backtest serves you. Work your configuration until the system aligns with your desired model. Try changing indicators and even intervals if you cannot reach your simulation goals. Generally speaking, the histogram and Candle indicators produce the most trades. The Macro indicator captures the tallest peaks and valleys.
Step 30. Apply the backtest settings to the study version and perform forward testing.
This script is open for beta testing. After successful beta test it will become a commercial application available by subscription only. I’ve invested quite a lot of time and effort into making this the best possible signal generator for all of the instruments I intend to trade. I certainly welcome any suggestions for improvements. Thank you all in advance.
JackBot Scalper v6Jackbot Scalper v6 Update
In Version 6, Jackbot has improved performance on higher time frames with close to 85% success rate on 1-hour times frames and 70% success rate on 15-minute time frames.
Who
I am Jack Donaghy, a crypto trader and wealth strategist at an international asset management firm. I have traded billions in assets for clients and have grown a portfolio of personal assets by nearly 2200% within the last 1.5 years from trading. I originally invested in cryptocurrencies in November of 2016 and have been catching waves ever since. This bot is for those interested in scalping methods.
What
Jackbot Pro Scalper is a scalping study for Bitcoin that operates on small timeframes. It has a 60-70% success rate and operates with the goal of maximizing gains while minimizing losses. This bot works well with leveraged strategies as it pursues both long and short positions. While I primarily use the bot on BitMex, I have seen good success on Bitfinex with various USDT pairs including VEN and ETH.
When
With v6, the best results have come from 13, 15, and 17-minute charts with incredible success found on the 1-hour charts.
How
The bot works by 1. Defining its entry point. 2. Defining a take profit 3. Defining a stop loss. The magic of the bot is that it will not close a trade at the take profit, if volume and price are increasing, it will hold the exit until another indicator determines a reversal of the trend. More than that would ruin the logic so you will just have to see for yourself.
To Trade
Large Spikes = Entries (Green = Long, Red = Short)
Small Spikes = Take Profit (Green = Long Exit, Red = Short Exit)
Medium Spikes = Stop Loss (Purple = Long SL, Yellow = Short SL)
Previous Results
Backtested, Jackbot v6 shows that with 1 Bitcoin (unleveraged) you can make about 12K in a 1.5 month period. My personal experience was trading a test amount of Bitcoin on a particularly good run at 25x leverage using 25% of a test portfolio It went from 0.015 Bitcoin to 0.091 within 10 days. See ibb.co (This test was from V5.4 which V6 has improved upon.)
Disclaimer: This strategy is by no means perfect and not every trade will be a winner. It is a tool in your belt, not a perfect 100% trader. Previously, results show with a 25x leveraged position, the losses are ~20% before it will cut off the trade, however, the gains can be 40%+ (As the bot continues to run in certain conditions, it will often pick up major moves and hold them for longer.) It can have bad runs and a slew of poor entries, especially in tight volatile ranges.
PLEASE NOTE: This strategy can struggle with chop following major moves, if you are manually entering, consider other market conditions before entry if the price is in a tight range.
Cost
Jackbot will be offered for 0.1 Bitcoin and will be limited to the first 100 people who apply.

Quantum Expansion Engine MTF# 🎯 QUANTUM EXPANSION ENGINE MTF
## *Your Unfair Advantage in the Markets*
---
## 🔥 WHAT IS THIS BEAST?
Welcome to the **Quantum Expansion Engine MTF** - the most advanced multi-timeframe market scanner that separates winners from losers. This isn't just another indicator. This is your personal trading radar that scans multiple markets simultaneously and tells you EXACTLY:
✅ **WHICH** market to trade (ranked by opportunity)
✅ **WHICH** direction to trade (BUY or SELL)
✅ **WHEN** to enter (price location analysis)
✅ **WHERE** to take profit (probability-based targets)
While other traders are guessing, you'll know **with mathematical precision** where the best opportunities are hiding.
---
## 💎 WHY THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
### **The Problem with Traditional Trading:**
- You stare at ONE chart, hoping it moves
- You have NO IDEA if better opportunities exist elsewhere
- You chase moves that already happened
- You miss the REAL winners because you weren't watching
### **The Quantum Solution:**
✨ Scans **8+ markets simultaneously** in real-time
✨ Uses **multi-timeframe analysis** (4H for direction, current TF for entry)
✨ Calculates **expansion potential** using ADR (Average Daily Range) and ATR
✨ Ranks opportunities from **BEST to WORST**
✨ Shows you **exact entry zones** with color-coded price location
✨ Gives **probability-based profit targets** so you know what's realistic
**Translation:** You'll never trade a dead market again. You'll always be on the HOTTEST movers. 🔥
---
## 🎮 THE CONTROL CENTER: YOUR SETTINGS
### **🎯 Display Filter** (Temperature Control)
Choose what opportunities you want to see:
- **"Show All"** - See everything (beginners start here)
- **"HOT Only"** 🔥 - ONLY the absolute best setups (advanced traders)
- **"WARM Only"** ⚡ - Moderate opportunities
- **"HOT + WARM"** 🔥⚡ - **RECOMMENDED** - Filters out garbage, shows quality
- **"WARM + COLD"** - Everything except hot (not recommended)
**Pro Tip:** Set to **"HOT + WARM"** and only trade what appears. This alone will 10x your win rate.
---
### **📊 Asset Type Filter** (Market Focus)
Focus on what you trade best:
- **"Show All"** - All markets
- **"Forex Only"** 💱 - Currency pairs only (EURUSD, GBPUSD, etc.)
- **"Indices Only"** 📈 - Stock indices (US30, NAS100, SPX500)
- **"Commodities Only"** 🥇 - Gold, Silver, Oil
- **"Forex + Indices"** 💱📈 - Most popular combo
- **"Forex + Commodities"** 💱🥇
- **"Indices + Commodities"** 📈🥇
**Pro Tip:** Forex traders → "Forex Only". Index traders → "Indices Only". Don't mix if you're focused.
---
### **📊 Higher Timeframe (MTF Analysis)**
Default: **240 (4-Hour)**
This is WHERE the magic happens. The engine analyzes trend direction and momentum on a HIGHER timeframe (4H or Daily), then shows you entries on your current timeframe.
**Why This Works:**
- Higher timeframe = stronger trends
- Current timeframe = precise entries
- You trade WITH the big picture, not against it
**Settings to Try:**
- **240 (4H)** - Swing traders, intraday trends
- **D (Daily)** - Position traders, major swings
- **60 (1H)** - Day traders (faster signals)
---
### **🎚️ Thresholds** (Fine-Tuning)
**🔥 HOT Threshold** (Default: 0.0015)
- Higher = stricter (fewer hot signals, higher quality)
- Lower = more generous (more hot signals)
- **Keep at 0.0015** unless you know what you're doing
**⚡ WARM Threshold** (Default: 0.0008)
- Defines the minimum "decent" opportunity
- **Keep at 0.0008** for balanced results
---
### **🎯 Take Profit Settings**
**TP1 Distance:** 250 points (conservative, high probability)
**TP2 Distance:** 500 points (moderate, balanced)
**TP3 Distance:** 1000 points (aggressive, trending markets)
**How to Use:**
- The engine shows **probability %** for each target
- Look for the **🎯 target icon** - that's your recommended exit
- **Green TP (70%+)** = High confidence, take it
- **Yellow TP (50-69%)** = Decent chance
- **Red TP (<50%)** = Low probability, avoid or scale down
**Pro Strategy:** Take 50% profit at TP1, let 50% run to TP2 or TP3. Lock in wins, let winners run.
---
## 🏆 THE QUANTUM TRADING METHOD (STEP-BY-STEP)
### **PHASE 1: SETUP** ⚙️
1. Add indicator to ANY chart (doesn't matter which - it scans all symbols)
2. Set **Display Filter** to **"HOT + WARM"**
3. Set **Asset Type Filter** to your preferred markets
4. Set **Higher Timeframe** to **240** (4H)
5. Position HUD where you like it (Bottom Right recommended)
---
### **PHASE 2: SCAN** 👀
**Every morning or before your trading session:**
1. Open the chart and check the HUD
2. Look at **RANK #1** - This is your BEST opportunity
3. Check its color:
- 🔥 **GREEN (#1)** = Prime setup, highest priority
- ⚡ **YELLOW (#1)** = Good setup, decent opportunity
- ❄️ **RED (#1)** = Market is cold, wait or skip
4. Note the **DIRECTION**: 📈 BUY or 📉 SELL
5. Check **📍LOC%** (price location in daily range)
---
### **PHASE 3: VALIDATE** ✅
**Before entering, confirm these THREE things:**
**✅ CHECK #1: Temperature + Direction Match**
- 🔥 GREEN + 📈 BUY = STRONG
- 🔥 GREEN + 📉 SELL = STRONG
- ⚡ YELLOW = DECENT
- ❄️ RED = SKIP
**✅ CHECK #2: Price Location Makes Sense**
For **📈 BUY** signals, you want:
- 🟢 0-20% = PERFECT (price at lows)
- 🔵 20-40% = GOOD (still low)
- 🟡 40-60% = OKAY (middle, less ideal)
- 🟠 60-80% = RISKY (price high)
- 🔴 80-100% = AVOID (price at highs, don't buy!)
For **📉 SELL** signals, you want:
- 🔴 80-100% = PERFECT (price at highs)
- 🟠 60-80% = GOOD (still high)
- 🟡 40-60% = OKAY (middle, less ideal)
- 🔵 20-40% = RISKY (price low)
- 🟢 0-20% = AVOID (price at lows, don't sell!)
**✅ CHECK #3: Take Profit Probability**
- Look for **GREEN TP** percentages (70%+)
- The **🎯 icon** shows recommended target
- If all TPs are red/low, market may be exhausted
---
### **PHASE 4: EXECUTE** 🎯
**The Entry:**
1. Switch to the specific market (e.g., EURUSD, NAS100)
2. Switch to YOUR entry timeframe (5M, 15M, 1H - whatever you trade)
3. Wait for a pullback/confirmation in your direction
4. Enter with proper risk management (1-2% risk per trade)
**The Stop Loss:**
Use ATR-based stops:
- **Conservative:** 1.5 x ATR below entry (BUY) or above entry (SELL)
- **Aggressive:** 1.0 x ATR
- **Or use structure:** Recent swing high/low
**The Targets:**
Follow the **🎯 recommended TP** from the HUD:
- If **TP1** is recommended → Conservative exit at 250 points
- If **TP2** is recommended → Hold for 500 points
- If **TP3** is recommended → Let it run to 1000 points
**Pro Scaling Strategy:**
- Take 33% profit at TP1
- Take 33% profit at TP2
- Let 33% run to TP3 or trailing stop
---
### **PHASE 5: MONITOR** 📊
**Throughout the day:**
- Check HUD every 1-4 hours for NEW opportunities
- If a HOTTER setup appears, consider moving capital
- The #1 spot can change as markets move
- **Alerts enabled?** You'll get notified automatically! 🔔
---
## 🚀 ADVANCED TECHNIQUES FOR DOMINANCE
### **🔥 THE "HOT ONLY" SNIPER METHOD**
**Settings:**
- Display Filter: **"HOT Only"**
- Asset Filter: Your specialty (Forex/Indices)
- Higher TF: **240** or **D**
**Strategy:**
Only trade when markets appear in the HUD. If nothing shows = NO TRADES TODAY.
**Why This Works:**
You're ONLY trading the absolute best setups. Your win rate will skyrocket because you're ultra-selective. You might only take 2-3 trades per week, but they'll be QUALITY.
---
### **⚡ THE "MULTI-MARKET" SCALPER METHOD**
**Settings:**
- Display Filter: **"HOT + WARM"**
- Asset Filter: **"Show All"**
- Higher TF: **60** (1H)
**Strategy:**
Trade the top 3 opportunities simultaneously. Diversify across markets (one forex, one index, one commodity).
**Why This Works:**
You're not putting all eggs in one basket. If NAS100 is choppy, EURUSD might be trending. Spread risk, increase opportunities.
---
### **📈 THE "SESSION HUNTER" METHOD**
**Settings:**
- Display Filter: **"HOT + WARM"**
- Asset Filter: Changes per session
- Higher TF: **240**
**Strategy:**
- **Asian Session (8PM-4AM EST):** Focus on **"Forex Only"** (JPY pairs)
- **London Session (3AM-12PM EST):** Focus on **"Forex + Indices"** (EUR, GBP, FTSE)
- **NY Session (8AM-5PM EST):** Focus on **"Indices Only"** (US30, NAS100, SPX500)
**Why This Works:**
You trade markets when they're MOST ACTIVE. Asian session = Yen. London = Euro/Pound. NY = Indices. Maximum volatility = maximum profit potential.
---
## 💰 REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE TRADE
**Scenario:** It's 9 AM EST (NY Session Opens)
**Step 1:** Check HUD
```
🔥 1 EURUSD 📈 BUY 0.5995 🟢 8% TP1: 0% TP2: 0% TP3: 0%
⚡ 2 GBPUSD 📈 BUY 0.5992 🟢 5% TP1: 85% TP2: 60% TP3: 45%
```
**Step 2:** Analyze
- **EURUSD** is HOT 🔥 but TPs are 0% (market exhausted for the day)
- **GBPUSD** is WARM ⚡ with STRONG TP probabilities
- **GBPUSD** shows 📈 BUY + 🟢 5% (price near lows) = PERFECT SETUP
**Step 3:** Execute GBPUSD Trade
- Switch to GBPUSD 15-minute chart
- Wait for bullish confirmation (break of resistance, candlestick pattern)
- Enter BUY at 1.2650
- Stop Loss: 1.2620 (30 pips, 1.5x ATR)
- Take Profit #1: 1.2675 (25 pips) ← **TP1 has 85% probability**
- Take Profit #2: 1.2700 (50 pips) ← **TP2 has 60% probability**
**Step 4:** Manage
- Price hits TP1 at 1.2675 → Take 50% profit (+25 pips)
- Move stop loss to breakeven
- Let remaining 50% run to TP2
- Price hits TP2 at 1.2700 → Take remaining profit (+50 pips)
**Result:** +37.5 pips average (25+50/2), ZERO risk after TP1, HIGH probability setup. 💰
---
## 🎯 THE GOLDEN RULES OF QUANTUM TRADING
### **RULE #1: Trust the Temperature 🌡️**
If it's 🔥 GREEN = Trade it
If it's ⚡ YELLOW = Consider it
If it's ❄️ RED = Skip it
The math doesn't lie. Cold markets stay cold. Hot markets MOVE.
---
### **RULE #2: Location, Location, Location 📍**
NEVER buy 📈 at 🔴 80%+
NEVER sell 📉 at 🟢 0-20%
Wait for price to be in the RIGHT zone or walk away.
---
### **RULE #3: Respect the Probabilities 🎲**
If TP shows 25% probability, it's a COIN FLIP.
If TP shows 75% probability, it's FAVORABLE ODDS.
Trade the odds, not emotions.
---
### **RULE #4: Higher Timeframe is BOSS 👑**
The 4H/Daily trend direction is your NORTH STAR.
Don't fight it. Trade WITH it.
---
### **RULE #5: No HUD Signal = No Trade 🚫**
If nothing appears in your filtered view, the markets are DEAD.
Cash is a position. Patience is a strategy.
---
## 🔔 ALERT SETUP (Never Miss a Setup!)
**Enable Alerts:**
1. In settings, turn ON:
- 🔥 **Enable HOT Alerts**
- ⚡ **Enable WARM Alerts** (optional)
2. In TradingView, right-click chart → **Add Alert**
3. Set **Condition:** Your indicator name
4. **Notification:** Phone, Email, SMS - your choice
5. Click **Create**
**What Happens:**
You get notified THE MOMENT a hot opportunity appears. You can be away from computer and still catch setups!
---
## 📊 BEST PRACTICES & PRO TIPS
### **⏰ BEST TIMES TO SCAN:**
- **Pre-Market:** 30 min before major sessions open
- **Session Opens:** London (3 AM EST), NY (9:30 AM EST)
- **Mid-Session:** Check every 2-4 hours
- **Avoid:** Late Friday (low liquidity), major news events (wait for dust to settle)
### **💼 RISK MANAGEMENT:**
- Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
- If #1 and #2 are both 🔥 HOT, split your risk (1% each)
- Use proper position sizing calculators
- **The engine finds setups. YOU manage risk.**
### **🧠 PSYCHOLOGY:**
- **FOMO is the enemy.** If you miss #1, there's always a #2, #3, tomorrow
- **Quality > Quantity.** 3 great trades/week beats 20 mediocre trades
- **The HUD is objective.** Your emotions are not. Trust the system.
### **📈 PERFORMANCE TRACKING:**
Keep a journal:
- What was the rank? (#1, #2, #3)
- What was the temperature? (🔥⚡❄️)
- What was price location? (🟢🔵🟡🟠🔴)
- What was TP probability?
- Did it hit target?
**After 20 trades, patterns emerge.** You'll see what works best for YOUR style.

Condition 2: Midpoint of the Body The script calculates the exact midpoint of the body of that previous bearish candle.
• Formula: (Previous Open + Previous Close) / 2.
Condition 3: 50% Recovery (longCondition) The current candle must be bullish (green) and, most importantly, its closing price must be above the midpoint calculated in the previous step.
Once these parameters are met, the system executes a long entry and calculates the exit parameters:
Stop Loss (SL): Placed at the low of the candle that generated the entry signal.
Take Profit (TP): Calculated by projecting the risk distance upward.
• Calculation: Entry Price + (Risk * 1).
Risk:Reward Ratio of 1:1.
About the Profit Factor
In my experience, TradingView calculates profits and losses based on the percentage of movement, which can cause returns to not match expectations. This doesn’t significantly affect trending systems, but it can impact systems with a high win rate and a well-defined risk-reward ratio. It only takes one large entry candle that triggers the SL to translate into a major drop in performance.
For example, you might see a system with a 60% win rate and a 1:1 risk-reward ratio generating losses, even though commissions are under control relative to the number of trades.
My recommendation is to manually calculate the performance of systems with a well-defined risk-reward ratio, assuming you will trade using a fixed amount per trade and limit losses to a fixed percentage.
Remember that, even if candles are larger or smaller in size, we can maintain a fixed loss percentage by using leverage (in cases of low volatility) or reducing the capital at risk (when volatility is high).
Implementing leverage or capital reduction based on volatility is something I haven’t been able to incorporate into the code, but it would undoubtedly improve the system’s performance dramatically, as it would fix a consistent loss percentage per trade, preventing losses from fluctuating with volatility swings.
For example, we can maintain a fixed loss percentage when volatility is low by using the following formula:
Leverage = % of SL you’re willing to risk / % volatility from entry point to exit or SL
And if volatility is high and exceeds the fixed percentage we want to expose per trade (if SL is hit), we could reduce the position size.
For example, imagine we only want to risk 15% per SL on Tesla, where volatility is high and would cause a 23.57% loss. In this case, we subtract 23.57% from 15% (the loss percentage we’re willing to accept per trade), then subtract the result from our usual position size.
23.57% - 15% = 8.57%
Suppose I use $200 per trade.
To calculate 8.57% of $200, simply multiply 200 by 8.57/100. This simple calculation shows that 8.57% equals about $17.14 of the $200. Then subtract that value from $200:
$200 - $17.14 = $182.86
In summary, if we reduced the position size to $182.86 (from the usual $200, where we’re willing to lose 15%), no matter whether Tesla moves up or down 23.57%, we would still only gain or lose 15% of the $200, thus respecting our risk management.
Final Notes
The code is extremely simple, and every step of its development is detailed within it.
If you liked this strategy, which complements very well with others I’ve already published, stay tuned. Best regards.

Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator [ApexLegion]Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
Design Rationale
Standard indicators frequently generate binary 'BUY' or 'SELL' signals without accounting for the broader market context. This often results in erratic "Flip-Flop" behavior, where signals are triggered indiscriminately regardless of the prevailing volatility regime.
Impulse Reactor was engineered to address this limitation by unifying two critical requirements: Quantitative Rigor and Execution Flexibility.
The Solution
Composite Analytical Framework This script is not a simple visual overlay of existing indicators. It is an algorithmic synthesis designed to function as a unified decision-making engine. The primary objective was to implement rigorous quantitative analysis (Volatility Normalization, Structural Filtering) directly within an alert-enabled framework. This architecture is designed to process signals through strict, multi-factor validation protocols before generating real-time notifications, allowing users to focus on structurally validated setups without manual monitoring.
How It Works
This is not a simple visual mashup. It utilizes a cross-validation algorithm where the Trend Structure acts as a gatekeeper for Momentum signals:
Logic over Lag: Unlike simple moving average crossovers, this script uses a 15-layer Gradient Ribbon to detect "Laminar Flow." If the ribbon is knotted (Compression), the system mathematically suppresses all signals.
Volatility Normalization: The core calculation adapts to ATR (Average True Range). This means the indicator automatically expands in volatile markets and contracts in quiet ones, maintaining accuracy without constant manual tweaking.
Adaptive Signal Thresholding: It incorporates an 'Anti-Greed' algorithm (Dynamic Thresholding) that automatically adjusts entry criteria based on trend duration. This logic aims to mitigate the risk of entering positions during periods of statistical trend exhaustion.
Why Use It?
Market State Decoding: The gradient Ribbon visualizes the underlying trend phase in real-time.
◦ Cyan/Blue Flow: Strong Bullish Trend (Laminar Flow).
◦ Magenta/Pink Flow: Strong Bearish Trend.
◦ Compressed/Knotted: When the ribbon lines are tightly squeezed or overlapping, it signals Consolidation. The system filters signals here to avoid chop.
Noise Reduction: The goal is not to catch every pivot, but to isolate high-confidence setups. The logic explicitly filters out minor fluctuations to help maintain position alignment with the broader trend.
⚖️ Chapter 1: System Architecture
Introduction: Composite Analytical Framework
System Overview
Impulse Reactor serves as a comprehensive technical analysis engine designed to synthesize three distinct market dimensions—Momentum, Volatility, and Trend Structure—into a unified decision-making framework. Unlike traditional methods that analyze these metrics in isolation, this system functions as a central processing unit that integrates disparate data streams to construct a coherent model of market behavior.
Operational Objective
The primary objective is to transition from single-dimensional signal generation to a multi-factor assessment model. By fusing data from the Impulse Core (Volatility), Gradient Oscillator (Momentum), and Structural Baseline (Trend), the system aims to filter out stochastic noise and identify high-probability trade setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
Market Microstructure Analysis: Limitations of Conventional Models
Extensive backtesting and quantitative analysis have identified three critical inefficiencies in standard oscillator-based strategies:
• Bounded Oscillator Limitations (The "Oscillation Trap"): Traditional indicators such as RSI or Stochastics are mathematically constrained between fixed values (0 to 100). In strong trending environments, these metrics often saturate in "overbought" or "oversold" zones. Consequently, traders relying on static thresholds frequently exit structurally valid positions prematurely or initiate counter-trend trades against prevailing momentum, resulting in suboptimal performance.
• Quantitative Blindness to Quality: Standard moving averages and trend indicators often fail to distinguish the qualitative nature of price movement. They treat low-volume drift and high-velocity expansion identically. This inability to account for "Volatility Quality" leads to delayed responsiveness during critical market events.
• Fractal Dissonance (Timeframe Disconnect): Financial markets exhibit fractal characteristics where trends on lower timeframes may contradict higher timeframe structures. Manual integration of multi-timeframe analysis increases cognitive load and susceptibility to human error, often resulting in conflicting biases at the point of execution.
Core Design Principles
To mitigate the aforementioned systemic inefficiencies, Impulse Reactor employs a modular architecture governed by three foundational principles:
Principle A:
Volatility Precursor Analysis Market mechanics demonstrate that volatility expansion often functions as a leading indicator for directional price movement. The system is engineered to detect "Volatility Deviation" — specifically, the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility baselines—prior to its manifestation in price action. This allows for entry timing aligned with the expansion phase of market volatility.
Principle B:
Momentum Density Visualization The system replaces singular momentum lines with a "Momentum Density" model utilizing a 15-layer Simple Moving Average (SMA) Ribbon.
• Concept: This visualization represents the aggregate strength and consistency of the trend.
• Application: A fully aligned and expanded ribbon indicates a robust trend structure ("Laminar Flow") capable of withstanding minor counter-trend noise, whereas a compressed ribbon signals consolidation or structural weakness.
Principle C:
Adaptive Confluence Protocols Signal validity is strictly governed by a multi-dimensional confluence logic. The system suppresses signal generation unless there is synchronized confirmation across all three analytical vectors:
1. Volatility: Confirmed expansion via the Impulse Core.
2. Momentum: Directional alignment via the Hybrid Oscillator.
3. Structure: Trend validation via the Baseline. This strict filtering mechanism significantly reduces false positives in non-trending (choppy) environments while maintaining sensitivity to genuine breakouts.
🔍 Chapter 2: Core Modules & Algorithmic Logic
Module A: Impulse Core (Normalized Volatility Deviation)
Operational Logic The Impulse Core functions as a volatility-normalized momentum gauge rather than a standard oscillator. It is designed to identify "Volatility Contraction" (Squeeze) and "Volatility Expansion" phases by quantifying the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility states.
Volatility Z-Score Normalization
The formula implements a custom normalization algorithm. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on absolute price changes, this logic calculates the Z-Score of the Volatility Spread.
◦ Numerator: (atr_f - atr_s) captures the raw momentum of volatility expansion.
◦ Denominator: (std_f + 1e-6) standardizes this value against historical variance.
◦ Result: This allows the indicator scales consistently across assets (e.g., Bitcoin vs. Euro) without manual recalibration.
f_impulse() =>
atr_f = ta.atr(fastLen) // Fast Volatility Baseline
atr_s = ta.atr(slowLen) // Slow Volatility Baseline
std_f = ta.stdev(atr_f, devLen) // Volatility Standard Deviation
(atr_f - atr_s) / (std_f + 1e-6) // Normalized Differential Calculation
Algorithmic Framework
• Differential Calculation: The system computes the spread between a Fast Volatility Baseline (ATR-10) and a Slow Volatility Baseline (ATR-30).
• Normalization Protocol: To standardize consistency across diverse asset classes (e.g., Forex vs. Crypto), the raw differential is divided by the standard deviation of the volatility itself over a 30-period lookback.
• Signal Generation:
◦ Contraction (Squeeze): When the Fast ATR compresses below the Slow ATR, it registers a potential volatility buildup phase.
◦ Expansion (Release): A rapid divergence of the Fast ATR above the Slow ATR signals a confirmed volatility expansion, validating the strength of the move.
Module B: Gradient Oscillator (RSI-SMA Hybrid)
Design Rationale To mitigate the "noise" and "false reversal" signals common in single-line oscillators (like standard RSI), this module utilizes a 15-Layer Gradient Ribbon to visualize momentum density and persistence.
Technical Architecture
• Ribbon Array: The system generates 15 sequential Simple Moving Averages (SMA) applied to a volatility-adjusted RSI source. The length of each layer increases incrementally.
• State Analysis:
Momentum Alignment (Laminar Flow): When all 15 layers are expanded and parallel, it indicates a robust trend where buying/selling pressure is distributed evenly across multiple timeframes. This state helps filter out premature "overbought/oversold" signals.
• Consolidation (Compression): When the distance between the fastest layer (Layer 1) and the slowest layer (Layer 15) approaches zero or the layers intersect, the system identifies a "Non-Tradable Zone," preventing entries during choppy market conditions.
// Laminar Flow Validation
f_validate_trend() =>
// Calculate spread between Ribbon layers
ribbon_spread = ta.stdev(ribbon_array, 15)
// Only allow signals if Ribbon is expanded (Laminar Flow)
is_flowing = ribbon_spread > min_expansion_threshold
// If compressed (Knotted), force signal to false
is_flowing ? signal : na
Module C: Adaptive Signal Filtering (Behavioral Bias Mitigation)
This subsystem, operating as an algorithmic "Anti-Greed" Mechanism, addresses the statistical tendency for signal degradation following prolonged trends.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment
• Win Streak Detection: The algorithm internally tracks the outcome of closed trade cycles.
• Sensitivity Multiplier: Upon detecting consecutive successful signals in the same direction, a Penalty_Factor is applied to the entry logic.
• Operational Impact: This effectively raises the Required_Slope threshold for subsequent signals. For example, after three consecutive bullish signals, the system requires a 30% steeper trend angle to validate a fourth entry. This enforces stricter discipline during extended trends to reduce the probability of entering at the point of trend exhaustion.
Anti-Greed Logic: Dynamic Threshold Calculation
f_adjust_threshold(base_slope, win_streak) =>
// Adds a 10% penalty to the difficulty for every consecutive win
penalty_factor = 0.10
risk_scaler = 1 + (win_streak * penalty_factor)
// Returns the new, harder-to-reach threshold
base_slope * risk_scaler
Module D: Trend Baseline (Triple-Smoothed Structure)
The Trend Baseline serves as the structural filter for all signals. It employs a Triple-Smoothed Hybrid Algorithm designed to balance lag reduction with noise filtration.
Smoothing Stages
1. Volatility Banding: Utilizes a SuperTrend-based calculation to establish the upper and lower boundaries of price action.
2. Weighted Filter: Applies a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to prioritize recent price data.
3. Exponential Smoothing: A final Exponential Moving Average (EMA) pass is applied to create a seamless baseline curve.
Functionality
This "Heavy" baseline resists minor intraday volatility spikes while remaining responsive to sustained structural shifts. A signal is only considered valid if the price action maintains structural integrity relative to this baseline
🚦 Chapter 3: Risk Management & Exit Protocols
Quantitative Risk Management (TP/SL & Trailing)
Foundational Architecture: Volatility-Adjusted Geometry Unlike strategies relying on static nominal values, Impulse Reactor establishes dynamic risk boundaries derived from quantitative volatility metrics. This design aligns trade invalidation levels mathematically with the current market regime.
• ATR-Based Dynamic Bracketing:
The protocol calculates Stop-Loss and Take-Profit levels by applying Fibonacci coefficients (Default: 0.786 for SL / 1.618 for TP) to the Average True Range (ATR).
◦ High Volatility Environments: The risk bands automatically expand to accommodate wider variance, preventing premature exits caused by standard market noise.
◦ Low Volatility Environments: The bands contract to tighten risk parameters, thereby dynamically adjusting the Risk-to-Reward (R:R) geometry.
• Close-Validation Protocol ("Soft Stop"):
Institutional algorithms frequently execute liquidity sweeps—driving prices briefly below key support levels to accumulate inventory.
◦ Mechanism: When the "Soft Stop" feature is enabled, the system filters out intraday volatility spikes. The stop-loss is conditional; execution is triggered only if the candle closes beyond the invalidation threshold.
◦ Strategic Advantage: This logic distinguishes between momentary price wicks and genuine structural breakdowns, preserving positions during transient volatility.
• Step-Function Trailing Mechanism:
To protect unrealized PnL while allowing for normal price breathing, a two-phase trailing methodology is employed:
◦ Phase 1 (Activation): The trailing function remains dormant until the price advances by a pre-defined percentage threshold.
◦ Phase 2 (Dynamic Floor): Once armed, the stop level creates a moving floor, adjusting relative to price action while maintaining a volatility-based (ATR) buffer to systematically protect unrealized PnL.
• Algorithmic Exit Protocols (Dynamic Liquidity Analysis)
◦ Rationale: Inefficiencies of Static Targets Static "Take Profit" levels often result in suboptimal exits. They compel traders to close positions based on arbitrary figures rather than evolving market structure, potentially capping upside during significant trends or retaining positions while the underlying trend structure deteriorates.
◦ Solution: Structural Integrity Assessment The system utilizes a Dynamic Liquidity Engine to continuously audit the validity of the position. Instead of targeting a specific price point, the algorithm evaluates whether the trend remains statistically robust.
Multi-Factor Exit Logic (The Tri-Vector System)
The Smart Exit protocol executes only when specific algorithmic invalidation criteria are met:
• 1. Momentum Exhaustion (Confluence Decay): The system monitors a 168-hour rolling average of the Confluence Score. A significant deviation below this historical baseline indicates momentum exhaustion, signaling that the driving force behind the trend has dissipated prior to a price reversal. This enables preemptive exits before a potential drawdown.
• 2. Statistical Over-Extension (Mean Reversion): Utilizing the core volatility logic, the system identifies instances where price deviates beyond 2.0 standard deviations from the mean. While the trend may be technically bullish, this statistical anomaly suggests a high probability of mean reversion (elastic snap-back), triggering a defensive exit to capitalize on peak valuation.
• 3. Oscillator Rejection (Immediate Pivot): To manage sudden V-shaped volatility, the system monitors RSI pivots. If a sharp "Pivot High" or divergence is detected, the protocol triggers an immediate "Peak Exit," bypassing standard trend filters to secure liquidity during high-velocity reversals.
🎨 Chapter 4: Visualization Guide
Gradient Oscillator Ribbon
The 15-layer SMA ribbon visualized via plot(r1...r15) represents the "Momentum Density" of the market.
• Visuals:
◦ Cyan/Blue Ribbon: Indicates Bullish Momentum.
◦ Pink/Magenta Ribbon: Indicates Bearish Momentum.
• Interpretation:
◦ Laminar Flow: When the ribbon expands widely and flows in parallel, it signifies a robust trend where momentum is distributed evenly across timeframes. This is the ideal state for trend-following.
◦ Compression (Consolidation): If the ribbon becomes narrow, twisted, or knotted, it indicates a "Non-Tradable Zone" where the market lacks a unified direction. Traders are advised to wait for clarity.
◦ Over-Extension: If the top layer crosses the Overbought (85) or Oversold (15) lines, it visually warns of potential market overheating.
Trend Baseline
The thick, color-changing line plotted via plot(baseline) represents the Structural Backbone of the market.
• Visuals: Changes color based on the trend direction (Blue for Bullish, Pink for Bearish).
• Interpretation:
Structural Filter: Long positions are statistically favored only when price action sustains above this baseline, while short positions are favored below it.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The baseline acts as a dynamic support level during uptrends and resistance during downtrends.
Entry Signals & Labels
Text labels ("Long Entry", "Short Entry") appear when the system detects high-probability setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
• Visuals: Labeled signals appear above/below specific candles.
• Interpretation:
These signals represent moments where Volatility (Expansion), Momentum (Alignment), and Structure (Trend) are synchronized.
Smart Exit: Labels such as "Smart Exit" or "Peak Exit" appear when the system detects momentum exhaustion or structural decay, prompting a defensive exit to preserve capital.
Dynamic TP/SL Boxes
The semi-transparent colored zones drawn via fill() represent the risk management geometry.
• Visuals: Colored boxes extending from the entry point to the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels.
• Function:
Volatility-Adjusted Geometry: Unlike static price targets, these boxes expand during high volatility (to prevent wicks from stopping you out) and contract during low volatility (to optimize Risk-to-Reward ratios).
SAR + MACD Glow
Small glowing shapes appearing above or below candles.
• Visuals: Triangle or circle glows near the price bars.
• Interpretation:
This visual indicates a secondary confirmation where Parabolic SAR and MACD align with the main trend direction. It serves as an additional confluence factor to increase confidence in the trade setup.
Support/Resistance Table
A small table located at the bottom-right of the chart.
• Function: Automatically identifies and displays recent Pivot Highs (Resistance) and Pivot Lows (Support).
• Interpretation: These levels can be used as potential targets for Take Profit or invalidation points for manual Stop Loss adjustments.
🖥️ Chapter 5: Dashboard & Operational Guide
Integrated Analytics Panel (Dashboard Overview)
To facilitate rapid decision-making without manual calculation, the system aggregates critical market dimensions into a unified "Heads-Up Display" (HUD). This panel monitors real-time metrics across multiple timeframes and analytical vectors.
A. Intermediate Structure (12H Trend)
• Function: Anchors the intraday analysis to the broader market structure using a 12-hour rolling window.
• Interpretation:
◦ Bullish (> +0.5%): Indicates a positive structural bias. Long setups align with the macro flow.
◦ Bearish (< -0.5%): Indicates structural weakness. Short setups are statistically favored.
◦ Neutral: Represents a ranging environment where the Confluence Score becomes the primary weighting factor.
B. Composite Confluence Score (Signal Confidence)
• Definition: A probability metric derived from the synchronization of Volatility (Impulse Core), Momentum (Ribbon), and Trend (Baseline).
• Grading Scale:
Strong Buy/Sell (> 7.0 / < 3.0): Indicates full alignment across all three vectors. Represents a "Prime Setup" eligible for standard position sizing.
Buy/Sell (5.0–7.0 / 3.0–5.0): Indicates a valid trend but with moderate volatility confirmation.
Neutral: Signals conflicting data (e.g., Bullish Momentum vs. Bearish Structure). Trading is not recommended ("No-Trade Zone").
C. Statistical Deviation Status (Mean Reversion)
• Logic: Utilizes Bollinger Band deviation principles to quantify how far price has stretched from the statistical mean (20 SMA).
• Alert States:
Over-Extended (> 2.0 SD): Warning that price is statistically likely to revert to the mean (Elastic Snap-back), even if the trend remains technically valid. New entries are discouraged in this zone.
Normal: Price is within standard distribution limits, suitable for trend-following entries.
D. Volatility Regime Classification
• Metric: Compares current ATR against a 100-period historical baseline to categorize the market state.
• Regimes:
Low Volatility (Lvl < 1.0): Market Compression. Often precedes volatility expansion events.
Mid Volatility (Lvl 1.0 - 1.5): Standard operating environment.
High Volatility (Lvl > 1.5): Elevated market stress. Risk parameters should be adjusted (e.g., reduced position size) to account for increased variance.
E. Performance Telemetry
• Function: Displays the historical reliability of the Trend Baseline for the current asset and timeframe.
• Operational Threshold: If the displayed Win Rate falls below 40%, it suggests the current market behavior is incoherent (choppy) and does not respect trend logic. In such cases, switching assets or timeframes is recommended.
Operational Protocols & Signal Decoding
Visual Interpretation Standards
• Laminar Flow (Trade Confirmation): A valid trend is visually confirmed when the 15-layer SMA Ribbon is fully expanded and parallel. This indicates distributed momentum across timeframes.
• Consolidation (No-Trade): If the ribbon appears twisted, knotted, or compressed, the market lacks a unified directional vector.
• Baseline Interaction: The Triple-Smoothed Baseline acts as a dynamic support/resistance filter. Long positions remain valid only while price sustains above this structure.
System Calibration (Settings)
• Adaptive Signal Filtering (Prev. Anti-Greed): Enabled by default. This logic automatically raises the required trend slope threshold following consecutive wins to mitigate behavioral bias.
• Impulse Sensitivity: Controls the reactivity of the Volatility Core. Higher settings capture faster moves but may introduce more noise.

Overbought / Oversold:
Trigger: Fires when the ribbon extends into extreme zones.
Usage: Warning signal to prepare for a potential reversal or pullback.
💡 Secondary Confirmation (Confluence)
SAR+MACD Bullish:
Trigger: Fires when Parabolic SAR and MACD align bullishly with the main trend.
Usage: Ideal for Pyramiding (adding to an existing winning position).
SAR+MACD Bearish:
Trigger: Fires when Parabolic SAR and MACD align bearishly.
Usage: Ideal for adding to short positions.
⚠️ Chapter 7: Conclusion & Risk Disclosure
Methodological Synthesis
Impulse Reactor represents a shift from reactive price tracking to proactive energy analysis. By decomposing market activity into its atomic components — Volatility, Momentum, and Structure — and reconstructing them into a coherent decision model, the system aims to provide a quantitative framework for market engagement. It is designed not to predict the future, but to identify high-probability conditions where kinetic energy and trend structure align.

TrategyMulti-Indicator Trading System - Detailed Description
═══════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines four proven technical analysis tools (EMA, RSI, MACD, ATR) with a specific logic that filters out low-probability setups. Unlike simple indicator mashups, this system requires all conditions to align simultaneously before generating a signal, significantly reducing false entries.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
CORE COMPONENTS & LOGIC
1. Trend Detection - Triple EMA Filter
The system uses three Exponential Moving Averages (5, 10, 20 periods) to establish trend direction and strength:
For LONG signals:
• EMA(5) must be above EMA(10)
• EMA(10) must be above EMA(20)
• Price must be trading above all three EMAs
This creates a "stacked EMA" configuration that confirms a strong uptrend.
For SHORT signals:
• EMA(5) must be below EMA(10)
• EMA(10) must be below EMA(20)
• Price must be trading below all three EMAs
This inverse configuration confirms a strong downtrend.
2. Momentum Confirmation - RSI Filter
The RSI (14-period) acts as a momentum filter to avoid entering during exhausted moves:
For LONG signals:
• RSI must be above 40 (avoiding oversold extremes)
• RSI must be rising (current RSI > previous RSI)
For SHORT signals:
• RSI must be below 60 (avoiding overbought extremes)
• RSI must be falling (current RSI < previous RSI)
This prevents entries at extreme overbought/oversold levels while confirming momentum direction.
3. Entry Trigger - MACD Crossover
The MACD (12, 26, 9) provides the precise entry timing:
LONG trigger: MACD line crosses above Signal line
SHORT trigger: MACD line crosses below Signal line
The signal only fires when this crossover occurs while all other conditions are already met.
4. Risk Management - ATR-Based TP/SL
Take Profit and Stop Loss levels are calculated dynamically using the 14-period ATR (Average True Range), adjusted for timeframe:
5-Minute Charts:
• Take Profit: 1.0 × ATR
• Stop Loss: 0.5 × ATR
4-Hour Charts and above:
• Take Profit: 2.0 × ATR
• Stop Loss: 1.0 × ATR
This adaptive approach accounts for different volatility levels across timeframes.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
A signal is only generated when ALL four conditions are simultaneously true:
LONG Signal Requirements:
1. ✓ Triple EMA alignment (bullish stack)
2. ✓ Price above all EMAs
3. ✓ RSI > 40 and rising
4. ✓ MACD bullish crossover
SHORT Signal Requirements:
1. ✓ Triple EMA alignment (bearish stack)
2. ✓ Price below all EMAs
3. ✓ RSI < 60 and falling
4. ✓ MACD bearish crossover
This multi-layered filtering approach is what differentiates this system from basic indicator combinations.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS
Trend + Momentum + Timing:
• EMAs establish the overall trend context
• RSI confirms momentum is present (not exhausted)
• MACD provides precise entry timing
• ATR adapts risk management to current volatility
Key Innovation: The system waits for all filters to align rather than acting on individual signals, which significantly reduces whipsaws and false breakouts common in single-indicator strategies.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
OPTIMIZED TIMEFRAMES
While the indicator works on all timeframes, it has been specifically optimized and backtested on:
• 5-minute charts (for scalping/day trading)
• 4-hour charts (for swing trading)
The ATR multipliers automatically adjust based on the selected timeframe.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
VISUAL FEATURES
• Green arrows below bars: Long signal
• Red arrows above bars: Short signal
• Green line: Take Profit level
• Red line: Stop Loss level
• Alert capability: Configurable alerts for paid TradingView subscriptions
═══════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Wait for a colored arrow to appear
3. Enter the trade in the direction of the arrow
4. Set your Take Profit at the green line
5. Set your Stop Loss at the red line
6. (Optional) Set up alerts to receive notifications
Note: Not every arrow will show TP/SL lines. Lines only appear when the ATR-based calculation determines there is sufficient volatility to justify the trade setup.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT MAKES THIS INVITE-ONLY WORTHY
Unlike free indicators that simply plot standard EMAs, RSI, or MACD separately, this system:
1. Integrates all four indicators with specific thresholds designed to work together
2. Uses adaptive risk management that adjusts to timeframe and volatility
The value lies not in the individual components (which are public domain) but in the specific combination logic, thresholds, and ATR-based risk system that took months of testing to optimize.

Hanzo Strategy - Volume & Smart Money📊 HANZO STRATEGY - Complete Description
## 🎯 Strategy Overview
The **Hanzo Strategy** is an advanced institutional trading system that combines Volume Profile analysis, Smart Money Concepts, and Price Action patterns to identify high-probability trade setups. This strategy is specifically designed for trading Gold (XAUUSD), NAS100, and US30 on the 15-minute timeframe.
---
## 🧠 Core Trading Philosophy
The Hanzo Strategy operates on the principle that **institutional money leaves footprints** in the market through:
- Volume accumulation at key price levels
- Liquidity sweeps and stop hunts
- Order block formations
- Strategic wick rejections at support/resistance
By identifying these institutional behaviors and combining them with precise volume analysis, the strategy aims to trade **with** the smart money, not against it.
---
## 🔑 Key Components
### 1️⃣ **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)**
- **What it does:** Analyzes the last 2 days of price action and calculates where the most volume traded
- **Point of Control (POC):** The price level with the highest trading volume - acts as a magnet for price
- **How we use it:** Price tends to revert to POC. When price is far from POC and starts moving toward it, we prepare for entries
- **Visual:** Yellow cross line on the chart marking the POC
### 2️⃣ **Wick Cluster Detection**
- **What it does:** Automatically identifies price levels where multiple candle wicks have rejected (2-6+ wicks)
- **Why it matters:** Multiple rejections at the same level indicate strong institutional support/resistance
- **Upper wick clusters:** Resistance zones where price was rejected downward
- **Lower wick clusters:** Support zones where price was rejected upward
- **Visual:** Dashed lines (red for resistance, green for support)
### 3️⃣ **Session Volatility Boxes**
- **London Session (8:00-16:00 UTC+3):** Captures European market volatility range
- **New York Session (13:30-20:00 UTC+3):** Captures US market volatility range
- **How we use it:** These ranges often act as support/resistance for the rest of the day
- **Visual:** Blue box for London, Orange box for New York
### 4️⃣ **Smart Money Zones**
**Order Blocks:**
- Strong institutional areas where banks and hedge funds placed large orders
- **Bullish Order Block:** Area where smart money bought heavily before a strong upward move
- **Bearish Order Block:** Area where smart money sold heavily before a strong downward move
- **Visual:** Green/Red filled boxes with "Bull OB" or "Bear OB" labels
**Liquidity Sweeps:**
- Price breaks above recent high or below recent low, then quickly reverses
- This is a "stop hunt" - institutions triggering retail stops before moving in the real direction
- **Bullish Sweep:** Price dips below support, grabs stops, then reverses up
- **Bearish Sweep:** Price pops above resistance, grabs stops, then reverses down
- **Visual:** Triangle markers (green up = bullish, red down = bearish)
### 5️⃣ **Engulfing Pattern Recognition**
- **Bullish Engulfing:** Large green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle - shows strong buying pressure
- **Bearish Engulfing:** Large red candle fully engulfs the previous green candle - shows strong selling pressure
- **How we use it:** Confirmation signal when combined with other factors
- **Visual:** Small circles below/above candles
### 6️⃣ **Trend Bias Indicator**
- Dynamically calculates market bias based on price position relative to POC
- **Bullish:** Price > 0.2% above POC
- **Neutral:** Price within 0.2% of POC
- **Bearish:** Price > 0.2% below POC
- **Visual:** Label at top of chart showing current bias
---
## 📈 Entry Signal Logic
The strategy generates **LONG** and **SHORT** signals based on confluence of multiple factors:
### 🟢 LONG ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses above POC from below + Trend Bias is Bullish
**OR**
2. **Support Bounce:** Price touches a lower wick cluster + Bullish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bearish
### 🔴 SHORT ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses below POC from above + Trend Bias is Bearish
**OR**
2. **Resistance Rejection:** Price touches an upper wick cluster + Bearish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bullish
---
## 🎯 Risk Management
### Stop Loss:
- **Calculation:** 2 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Logic:** Uses Average True Range to adapt to current market volatility
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, stop loss is 20 points away
### Take Profit:
- **Calculation:** 3 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Risk:Reward Ratio:** 1:1.5 (risking 2 ATR to make 3 ATR)
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, take profit is 30 points away
### Position Sizing:
- **Default:** 2% of account equity per trade
- **Adjustable:** Can be modified in strategy settings

### 2. **POC Strategy**
- Best entries occur when price returns to POC after being far away
- Wait for POC touch + confirmation pattern (engulfing, order block)
- POC acts as support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
### 3. **Wick Cluster Strategy**
- Strongest signals occur when wick clusters align with POC
- Look for 4+ wicks at the same level for highest probability
- Recent clusters (formed in last 2 days) are stronger than old ones
### 4. **Order Block Strategy**
- Fresh order blocks (just formed) are more powerful
- Wait for price to return to order block zone before entering
- Best when order block + wick cluster occur at same level
### 5. **London/NY Box Strategy**
- If price breaks above session high → look for LONG pullback entries
- If price breaks below session low → look for SHORT pullback entries
- Price often returns to session mid-point before continuing
### 6. **Risk Management Rules**
- **Never risk more than 2% per trade**
- **Don't trade more than 3 positions simultaneously**
- **If 2 losses in a row, reduce size to 1% or stop for the day**
- **Move stop to breakeven after 1:1 profit reached**
### 7. **High-Probability Setups**
Look for **CONFLUENCE** - the more factors aligned, the better:
✅ **BEST LONG SETUP:**
- Price at lower wick cluster (support)
