Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio Strategy [KL]I recently published an indicator called "Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio Indicator". In the description of that script, I hypothesized about how the Efficiency Ratio could be applied to identify bullish moves in instances where price had already gone up steeply, but rests for a while, allowing for entry in expectation that price will continually rise. I decided to test out this idea with Pinescript.
About Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio ("ER")
ER was developed by a systematic trader by the name of Perry J. Kaufman.
Formula
The formula is:
= A divided by B,
where:
A = Current closing price minus the closing price at the start of the lookback period
B = Sum of differences between closing prices (in absolute terms) of consecutive bars over the lookback period
How this strategy enters a trade (Long):
- code: entry_signal_long = ER > 0 and ER_is_mid
- meaning: when ER is positive, strategy assumes price has risen. Usually ER value begins high (red), and unless it is a false move, then it should stay positive. This strategy will patiently wait until ER drops to medium (yellow), and then place a trade.
- how low/medium/high is dynamically determined: Refer to the description of my other script("Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio Indicator") for details. Trying to keep this as short as possible.
How this strategy exits a trade (Long):
- when price hits stop limit; stop limit is based on low of bars, trails upward based on ATR
- included a feature called "tightening TSL", which tries to reduce the stop-buffer during periods of high volatility implied by ER (very experimental, opening the floor for suggestions on how this can be improved)
Breakout!
[KL] Double Bollinger Bands Strategy (for Crypto/FOREX)This strategy uses a setup consisting of two Bollinger Bands based on the 20 period 20-SMA +/-
(a) upper/lower bands of two standard deviations apart, and
(b) upper/lower bands of one standard deviation apart.
We consider price at +/- one standard deviation apart from 20-SMA as the "Neutral Zone".
If price closes above Neutral Zone after a period of consolidation, then it's an opportunity for entry. Strategy will long, anticipating for breakout.
The illustration below shows price closing above the Neutral Zone after a period of consolidation.
a.c-dn.net
Position is exited when prices closes at Neutral Zone (being lower than prior bars)
Qullamaggie BreakoutThe intent of this strategy is to buy breakouts with a tight stop on smaller timeframes in the direction of the longer term trend. Default longer term trend is the daily, but the user can choose any timeframe to use for the SMAs (which act as filters and trailing stops).
Exit the trade using a trailing stop of a close below either the 10 MA or 20 MA (user choice) on that larger timeframe as the position moves in your favor (i.e. whenever position price rises above the MA). This is one area where this script could use a little work or some human intervention - when the trade is entered right in the vicinity of the moving averages, you get some whipsaw. Not sure how to avoid that at this point though if you want to look at those longer term moving averages as your exit criteria.
Option of using daily ATR as a measure of finding contracting ranges and ensuring a decent risk/reward. (If the difference between the breakout point and your stop level is below a certain % of ATR, it could possibly find those consolidating periods.)
72s Strat: Backtesting Adaptive HMA+ pt.1This is a follow up to my previous publication of Adaptive HMA+ few months ago, as a mean to provide some kind of initial backtesting tools. Which can be use to explore many possible strategies, optimise its settings to better conform user's pair/tf, and hopefully able to help tweaking your general strategy.
If you haven't read the study or use the indicator, kindly go here first to get the overall idea.
The first strategy introduce in this backtest is one most basic already described in the study; buy/sell is when movement is there and everything is on the right side; When RSI has turned to other side, we can use it as exit point (if in profit of course, else just let it hit our TP/SL, why would we exit before profit). Also, base on RSI when we make entry, we can further differentiate type of signals. --Please check all comments in code directly where the signals , entries , and exits section are.
Second additional strategy to check; is when we also use second faster Adaptive HMA+ for exit. So this is like a double orders on a signal but with different exit-rule (/more on this on snapshots below). Alternatively, you can also work the code so to only use this type of exit.
There's also an additional feature which you can enable its visuals, the Distance Zone , is to help measuring price distance to our xHMA+. It's just a simple atr based envelope really, I already put the sample code in study's comment section, but better gonna update it there directly for non-coder too, after this.
In this sample I use Lot for order quantity size just because that's what I use on my broker. Also what few friends use while we forward-testing it since the study is published, so we also checked/compared each profit/loss report by real number. To use default or other unit of measurement, change the entry code accordingly.
If you change your order size, you should also change the commission in Properties Tab. My broker commission is 5 USD per order/lot, so in there with example order size 0.1 lot I put commission 0.5$ per order (I'll put 2.5$ for 0.5 lot, 10$ for 2 lot, and so on). Crypto usually has higher charge. --It is important that you should fill it base on your broker.
SETTINGS
I'm trying to keep it short. Please explore it further again. (Beginner should also first get acquaintance with terms use here.)
ORDERS:
Base Minimum Profit Before Exit:
The number is multiplier of ongoing ATR. Means that when basic exit condition is met, algo will check whether you're already in minimum profit or not, if not, let it still run to TP or SL, or until it meets subsequent exit condition, then it will check again.
Default Target Profit:
Multiplier of ATR at signal. If reached before any eligible exit condition is met, exit TP.
Base StopLoss Point:
You can change directly in code to use other like ATR Trailing SL, fix percent SL, or whatever. In the sample, 4 options provided.
Maximum StopLoss:
This is like a safety-net, that if at some point your chosen SL point from input above happens to be exceeding this maximum input that you can tolerate, then this max point is the one will be use as SL.
Activate 2nd order...:
The additional doubling of certain buy/sell with different exits as described above. If enable, you should also set pyramiding to at least: 2. If not, it does nothing.
ADAPTIVE HMA+ PERIOD
Many users already have their own settings for these. So in here I only sample the default as first presented in the study. Make it to your adaptive.
MARKET MOVEMENT
(1) Now you can check in realtime how much slope degree is best to define your specific pair/tf is out of congestion (yellow) area. And (2) also able to check directly what ATR lengths are more suitable defining your pair's volatility.
DISTANCE ZONE
Distance Multiplier. Each pair/tf has its own best distance zone (in xHMA+ perspective). The zone also determine whether a signal should appear or not. (Or what type of signal, if you wanna go more detail in constructing your strategy)
USAGE
(Provided you already have your own comfortable settings for minimum-maximum period of Adaptive HMA+. Best if you already have backtested it manually too and/or apply as an add-on to your working strategy)
1. In our experiences, first most important to define is both elements in the Market Movement Settings . These also tend to be persistent for whole season since it's kinda describing that pair/tf overall behaviour. Don't worry if you still get a low Profit Factor here, but by tweaking you should start to see positive changes in one of Max Drawdown and Net Profit, or Percent Profitable.
2. Afterwards, find your pair/tf Distance Zone . When optimising this, what we seek is just a "not to bad" equity curves to start forming. At least Max Drawdown should lessen more. Doesn't have to be great already, but should be better, no red in Net Profit.
3. Then go manage the "Trailing Minimum Profit", TP, SL, and max SL.
4. Repeat 1,2,3. 👻
5. Manage order size, commission, and/or enable double-order (need pyramiding) if you like. Check if your equity can handle max drawdown before margin call.
6. After getting an acceptable backtest result, go to List of Trades tab and find the biggest loss or when many sequencing loss in a row happened. Click on it to go to exact point on chart, observe why the signal failed and get at least general idea how it can be prevented . The rest is yours, you should know your pair/tf more than other.
You can also re-explore your minimum-maximum period for both Major and minor xHMA+.
Keep in mind that all numbers in Setting are conceptually in a form of range . You don't want to get superb equity curves but actually a "fragile" , means one can easily turn it to disaster just by changing only a fraction in one/two of the setting.
---
If you just wanna test the strength of the indicator alone, you can disable "Use StopLoss" temporarily while optimising settings.
Using no SL might be tempting in overall result data in some cases, but NOTE: It is not recommended to not using SL, don't forget that we deliberately enter when it's in high volatility. If want to add flexibility or trading for long-term, just maximise your SL. ie.: chose SL Point>ATR only and set it maximum. (Check your max drawdown after this).
I think this is quite important specially for beginners, so here's an example; Hypothetically in below scenario, because of some settings, the buy order after the loss sell signal didn't appear. Let's say if our initial capital only 1000$ using leverage and order size 0,5 lot (risky position sizing already), moreover if this happens at the beginning of your trading season, that's half of account gone already in one trade . Your max SL should've made you exit after that pumping bar.
The Trailing Minimum Profit is actually look like this. Search in the code if you want to plot it. I just don't like too many lines on chart.
To maximise profit we can try enabling double-order. The only added rule coded is: RSI should rising when buy and falling when sell. 2nd signal will appears above or below default buy/sell signal. (Of course it's also prone to double-loss, re-check your max drawdown after. Profit factor play its part in here for a long run). Snapshot in comparison:
Two default sell signals on left closed at RSI exit, the additional sell signal closed later on when price crossover minor xHMA+. On buy side, price haven't met our minimum profit when first crossunder minor xHMA+. If later on we hit SL on this "+buy" signal, at least we already profited from default buy signal. You can also consider/treat this as multiple TP points.
For longer-term trading, what you need to maximise is the Minimum Profit , so it won't exit whenever an exit condition happened, it can happen several times before reaching minimum profit. Hopefully this snapshot can explain:
Notice in comparison default sell and buy signal now close in average after 3 days. What's best is when we also have confirmation from higher TF. It's like targeting higher TF by entering from smaller TF.
As also mention in the study, we can still experiment via original HMA by putting same value for minimum-maximum period setting. This is experimental EU 1H with Major xHMA+: 144-144, Flat market 13, Distance multiplier 3.6, with 2nd order activated.
Kiwi was a bit surprising for me. It's flat market is effectively below 6, with quite far distance zone of 3.5. Probably because I'm using big numbers in adaptive period.
---
The result you see in strategy tester report below for EURUSD 15m is using just default settings you see in code, as follow:
0,1 lot for each order (which is the smallest allowed by my broker).
No pyramiding. Commission: 0.5 usd per order. Slippage: 3
Opening position is only using basic strategy #1 (RSI exit). Additional exit not activated.
Minimum Profit: 1. TP: 3.
SL use: Half-distance zone. Max SL: 4.5.
Major xHMA+: 172-233. minor xHMA+: 89-121
Distance Zone Multiplier: 2.7
RSI: Standard 14.
(From our forward-testing, the difference we get from net profit is because of the spread, our entry isn't exactly at the close/open price. Not so much though, but not the same. If somebody can direct me to any example where we can code our entry via current bid/ask price, that would be awesome!)
It's already a long post (sorry), think I'm gonna pause here. Check out the code :)

Trend Surfers - Premium Breakout + AlertsTrend Surfers - Premium Breakout Strategy with Alerts
I am happy today to release the first free Trend Surfers complete Breakout Strategy!
The strategy includes:
Entry for Long and Short
Stoploss
Position Size
Exit Signal
Risk Management Feature
How the strategy works
This is a Trend Following strategy. The strategy will have drawdowns, but they will be way smaller than what you would go through with buy and old.
As a Trend Following strategy, we will buy on strength, when a breakout occurs. And sell on weakness.
The strategy includes a FIX Stoploss determined by an ATR multiple and a trailing Stoploss/Takeprofit also determined by an ATR multiple.
You can also manage your risk by entering the maximum % you are willing to risk on every trade. Additionally, there is an option to enter how many pairs you will be trading with the strategy. This will change your position size in order to make sure that you have enough funds to trade all your favorite pairs.
Use the strategy with alerts
This strategy is alert-ready. All you have to do is:
Go on a pair you would like to trade
Create an alert
Select the strategy as a Trigger
Wait for new orders to be sent to you
Every Entry (Long/Short) will include:
Market Entry (Enter position NOW!)
Stoploss price
Position Size
Leverage
* If you do not wish to use leverage, you can multiply the Position Size by the Leverage. But doing that, you might end up with a position greater than your equity. Trading on Futures is better in order to have accurate risk management.
Exit signals:
When you receive an exit signal, you need to close the position ASAP. If you want to keep your results as close as possible to the backtest results, you need to execute quickly and follow what the strategy is telling you.
Do not try to outsmart the strategy
Leave your emotion out of trading! If you trust the strategy, you will have way better returns than if you try to outsmart it. Follow each signal you receive even if it doesn't seem logical at the moment.
Become a machine that executes. Don't look at fundamentals. Follow the trend! Trust the strategy!
I hope you enjoy it!
Break of structure (BOS) forex StrategyPlease read all Details before using this indicator
This strategy is based on taking position after the break of a Previous High/Low swing happens (fixed time frame), the break of structure happens because of the swing happens then we go long or short respectively in this strategy.
I will be discussing the setting details through which you can make it work on different forex pairs.
Does it work on other pairs?
Yes, I have found similar back test results on other USD pairs.
Does it works on smaller time frame?
Yes it does work on smaller time frame , you have to understand the below concepts used and try different settings.
For the user the most important thing is to understand the settings of the indicator so that they can optimize the setting and get the best results:
This indicator contains the following IMPORTANT setting:
i. Fixed trading session for long trades (long position can be taken in that period of time only)
ii. Fixed trading session for short trades (Short position can be taken in that period of time only)
The concept behind restricting the time to go long or short is because in forex the particular pair move in a particular direction depending upon the currency and time zones.
This strategy works on different forex pairs, you need to find the best settings. I will be providing the best settings which works for this strategy and different pairs.
2. Choose Previous High/Low Timeframe
This is the most important option where you have to choose the timeframe for which you want H/L by default it is set to “D”. This timeframe H/L reference will be taken for taking trading decisions.
3.Setting for back test selection date range you can check the beck test of a particular time range.
4.You can check Long and Short positions performance separately, by unchecking the “Go_long” option it will remove all long positions from back test. Vice versa for “Go_short option”
5.Internal Bar Strength
IBS is simply an indicator where you buy on weakness and sell on strength, the cornerstone of any mean-reverting strategy.
It oscillates from zero to one and measures the relative position of the closing price relative to the High and Low.
IBS = (Close – Low) / (High – Low)
In the input setting the you can disable enable the IBS option from the strategy.
6. Parkinson volatility
Parkinson volatility is a volatility measure that uses the stock’s high and low price of the day (can be changed in the setting, instead of day it can be set to any bar length)
The main difference between regular volatility and Parkinson volatility is that the latter uses high and low prices for a day, rather than only the closing price.
In the setting you have three option
i. Enter Volatility Threshold
If the Parkinson volatility value is greater than the the threshold value then it lets the trade happen.
ii.Set the high/low bar time frame for calculating Parkinson volatility. ( Set 60m by default)
Formula used as below:
high_=security(syminfo.ticker, input("60"), high)
low_=security(syminfo.ticker, input("60"), low)
hourlyRangeSquared = pow((log(high_) - log(low_)), 2)
dailyParkinsonVol = sqrt(sum(hourlyRangeSquared, 24) / (4 * log(2)))
7. "Enter no of contract size"
This setting helps you to set the contract size , by default it is set to 100000.
8. “Zigzag Filter Length” this setting is for SWING H/L Lookback. With the help of this I have ploted Swing Support and Resistance.
9.Futrther confirmation of trade is done through the RSI criteria. In this I have provided four kind of RSI confirmation you can test all by selecting any one of the four.
i. filter trade on the basis of BB of RSI (as shown in the image)
ii. filter trade on the basis of RSI Levels (RSI>50 for long, vice versa for short)
iii. filter trade by rsi>basis of BB of RSI(for long) & rsi<50(for short)
iv. filter trade by rsi>50(long) & rsi< basis of BB of RSI(short)
SELECT ONLY ONE OF THE ABOVE IN SETTING.
10.For Exiting the trade I have used the trailing SL you can change it in setting.
You can exit the trade using two targets (two take profit) using different size for exiting the trade.
If you want to take only on target then you have to make QANTITY of shares for 1st Exit as 100. Then you will exit all your position in the first target.

Moving Regression Band Breakout strategyFollowing the introduction of the Moving Regression Prediction Bands indicator (see link below), I'd like to propose how to utilize it in a simple band breakout strategy :
Go long after the candle closes above the upper band . The lower band (alternatively, the lower band minus the 14-period ATR or the central line ) will serve as a support line .
Exit as soon as the candle closes below the support line .
To manage the risk of false breakouts, a fixed stop loss is set to the value of the support line at the time of opening a position. When the support line moves above the position opening price, shift the stop loss to breakeven.
The same logic but in reverse applies to short positions.
As an option, it is possible to allow long entries only when the slope of the Moving Regression curve is positive (and short entries when the slope is negative).
Model parameters:
Length and Polynomial Order define the lag and smoothness of the model.
Multiplier specifies the width of the channel.
As the default model parameter values, I set those that I found to provide optimal risk / reward ratio on the daily timeframe (for both trending and range-bound market). However, the settings are very flexible and can be well-adjusted to particular market conditions. Feel free to play around and leave feedback in the comments!
Here's the original Moving Regression Prediction Bands script:
LAGging span leaves Bollinger Bands strategyAbstract
This script points out the positions a lagging span leaves a Bollinger Band.
This script does not plot a lagging span but moves the Bollinger Band forward.
You can find profit opportunities by combining this script and risk management.
Introduction
Bollinger Bands is a popular indicator.
It contains a moving average, an upper band and a lower band.
The moving average can indicate trend, the upper band and the lower band can indicate if the price is far away from the moving average.
However, in trading markets, anything can happen.
Both continuation and reversal are possible when the price touches the moving average, the upper band or the lower band.
Therefore, many traders adjust the parameters of the Bollinder Band or add other indicators to improve their trading strategies.
@Daveatt et. al. provided an idea that uses a lagging span.
A lagging span is a line chart. It displays the reference price but in earlier time.
For example, if the offset of a lagging span is 26 days, the value of the lagging span on 29 days ago is the reference price 3 days ago.
A lagging span is a part of Ichimoku Cloud.
It can compare the price to the earlier price and the values of indicators in the past.
To compare the price to the values of indicators in the past, we can also shift indicators forward instead of adding a lagging span into the chart.
This script uses shift-the-indicators-forward method.
In other words, this script plots the Bollinger Band forward so that the price can be compared to the values of the Bollinger Band in the past.
Computing and Adjusting
(1) Compute Moving Average
(2) Compute Standard Derivation
(3) Upper Band = Moving Average + Standard Derivation * Multi
(4) Lower Band = Moving Average - Standard Derivation * Multi
(5) Shift the Bollinger Band forward according to the offset parameter.
(6) Mark the points the price leaves the shifted Bollinger Band
(7) Compute the most possible loss and profit before the next opposite signal.
Parameters
source : the data for computing the bollinger band. can be open, high, low, close or their combination.
length : how many days are calculated by the bollinger band
mult : the distance from the moving average to the upper band and the distance from the moving average to the upper band is equal to ( mult * standard derivation ) .
x_offset : the offset of the lagging span
Conclusion
This script can find signals for potential breakout or trend continuation.
If you want to use this signal well, you need to know when to cut loss and protect the profit.

alGROWithm Premium - Strategy TesterThe alGROWithm Strategy Tester is a supplement to the original alGROWithm indicator.
Use this strategy to do your own back testing and find the best settings that work for your asset of choice.
█ WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
Different assets require different settings for optimal results. This strategy script will allow you back test different settings for alGROWithm in order to analyze key metrics such as win rate and P/L. TradingView functionality also enables you to view a high level performance summary and even see every single individual trade made by the algo.
█ BEST PRACTICES
Depending on the asset you are testing, it is very important to update the settings as needed. For example, if you are back testing on US30, you will likely need to increase the starting capital. For other assets, you may also need to change the order size to use the Contracts option.
It is important to decide for yourself which back testing parameter you will weigh more heavily in terms of importance. For example, a day trader may want to use a setting that maximizes win rate rather than profit % since we are humans and not computers. Further, it is highly recommended to utilize all of the rich features that TradingView provides with regards to back testing. For example, using the List of Trades tab, go back to find a failed trade and analyze the trade to see if you actually would have taken it in the moment.
After finding the best sensitivity for your asset, it is important to set that sensitivity value on the non-strategy version of alGROWithm for usage. Changing settings on this version will not carry over to the non-strategy version.
█ DEFAULT SETTINGS
We have set the following default settings on the strategy:
Starting capital: $100k
Order size: 30% of equity
Sell 1/5 of position every Take Profit level
TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Strategy™TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Strategy is the strategy backtester version of ™TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Filter .
===================================================================================================================
Features of ™TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Strategy
========================================================
Option to plot Donchian Channels of user preferred length, based on the Source price in addition to High/Low Donchian Channels.
Generates trade entries based on user preferred Breakout Price. For example, if the user prefers HL2 as breakout price, irrespective of the Donchian Channels type, trade entries are generated only when hl2 price (average of high/low) breaks out of the upper or lower band.
Option to plot background colour based on Breakout trend. The bull zones are filled with green background, the Bear zones are filled with red background and the bar that broke out is filled with orange background.
Option to colour price bars using Donchian Channels price trend. The Donchian Channels basis line is plotted using the same colours as coloured bars as default.
Note: This script does not repaint. To use the script for trade entries, wait for the bar close without Backtester or Strategy entries (with Backtester) and use a second confirmator (includes fundamentals) based on asset type as some markets require users to have good pulse on the fundamentals as trading by Technicals/price action dynamic alone may not be safe.
Note: Trend Based Stochastic of the same DC Length can be used from ™TradeChartist Risk Meter for Trade Confirmations too.

London breakout GBPUSD daytradeHello,
First I want to WARN THAT YOU NEED A MINIMUM OF 30X LEVERAGE FOR THIS STRATEGY IN ORDER TO WORK.
THE REASON IS THAT THE SIZE IS CALCULATED BASED ON A VERY SHORT STOP LOSS LEVEL IN PIPS
UTILIZE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
This is a daytrading strategy, that's suited for GBPUSD 1H timechart.
It a very simple strategy that utilizes 2 moving averages : a very fast one and a very slow one.
It will always enter only at the beginning candle of London session, and it will always exit at the candle at the finish of London session.
So the rules are simple :
If its 8 am GMT and the candle close or high cross the slow moving average and we are above at the same over the slow moving average we make a long movement. The oposite condition is applied for short.
At the same time we always use a very small stop loss = 50-100 points ( 5-10 pips).
We dont have a take profit, in our case the trade ends always at the end of London session. In this case at 15h GMT
It might work on other currencies aswell, but it has to be tested first.
For any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
Soldiers Pattern ModifiedThis can be perceived as modified 3 soldiers, relaxed NR4 or even extended harami candlestick pattern.
Works for any instrument and any timeframe.
The idea is to find out any number of candles having their individual highs and lows, all within high and low range of base candle.
The count of soldiers and if they must be of same color, both can be configured.
Additional configurable settings is to add further check of having body of soldiers as well within body of base candle.
Trading strategy: Trade high or low breakout of base candle, having other as stop loss, for a risk reward ratio of 1:2.
2 Candles Inside ATR2 agitated candles falling inside ATR range, awaiting possibly a big move.
Buy / Sell signals at combined high / low can be used as order with other as stop loss.
Counter trade, when this minimal stop loss is hit, is also as useful. However, wait till the SL candle closes, before opening position on the other side.
Works quite well on 15 mins chart, with settings of ATR duration 25 and multiplier 0.6. These settings are configurable, so feel free.

Bollinger Bands Breakout StrategyBollinger Bands Breakout Strategy is the strategy version of Bollinger Bands Filter study version, which can be found under my scripts page. The strategy goes long when price closes above the upper band and goes short signal when price closes below the lower band.
Bollinger Bands is a classic indicator that uses a simple moving average of 20 periods, along with plots of upper and lower bands that are 2 standard deviations away from the basis line. These bands help visualize price volatility and trend based on where the price is, in relation to the bands.
The strategy doesn't take into account any other parameters such as Volume / RSI / Fundamentals etc, so user must use discretion based on confirmations from another indicator or based on fundamentals. The strategy results are based on purely long and short trades and doesn't take into account any user defined targets or stop losses.
The strategy works great when the price closes above/below upper/lower bands with continuation on next bar. It is definitely useful to have this strategy or the Bollinger Bands filter along with other indicators to get early glimpse of breach/fail of bands on candle close during BB squeeze or based on volatility .
This can be used on Heikin Ashi candles for spotting trends, but HA candles are not recommended for trade entries as they don't reflect true price of the asset.
The strategy settings default is 55 SMA and 1 standard deviation for Bollinger Bands filter, but these can be changed from settings.
It is definitely worth reading the 22 rules of Bollinger Bands written by John Bollinger if interested in trading Bollinger Bands successfully.
[TVExtBot]Volatility Breakout Strategy(BackTest)Volatility Breakout Strategy(BackTest)
It is based on the legendary trader Larry R. Williams' volatility breakout strategy.

변동성 돌파 전략이란 전설적인 트레이더 래리 윌리엄스(Larry R. Williams)의 변동성 돌파 전략을 기본으로 개발한 전략입니다.
변동성 돌파 전략은 일일 단위로 일정 수준 이상의 범위를 뛰어넘는 강한 상승세를 돌파 신호로 상승하는 추세를 따라가며 일 단위로 빠르게 수익을 실현하는 단기매매 전략입니다.
* Pivot Levels Detector (for H4, D2) [aleeert]Pivot Levels Detector is the script based on idea about breakouts of pivot levels which based on certain numbers of bars used for reaching the target and breakout the level. Working timeframes are H4 and 2D . The script works better with BTCUSD, ETHUSD, EOSBTC, AAPL, TSLA.
No repainting!
The script doesn't use any moving averages or other relative methods which cancel or change data on previous bars. Once the signal is showed it will stay forever.
NOTE: The results from Strategy Tester could slight vary from results you see on the chart. It's because of calculation method used on Strategy Tester, which uses a data from closed bars only, not by target reaching. So the results you see on the chart are more correct.

Monday + Tuesday Fib BreakoutINTENDED FOR DAILY CHART ONLY
This is my take on a simple breakout based on the well known Fibonacci Retracement. It was created with the main intention of swing trading Futures with a small account, though it can also be used for other instruments - just tweak the settings to what fits best for you.
As you can see, the strategy is trading a single contract every time and the stop loss is hard (no trailing yet) - I'm trying to show how well it works with a small account, obviously you can scale up from here.
The strategy:
Account Starting Balance: $500
Instrument: E-Mini Russell 2000 Futures
Contracts: 1 contract per trade
Commission: $0.34 per trade
Next Steps:
- Add more description to all the settings
- Add Trailing Stops
Don't forget:
For educational purpose only
Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
Breakout Trend Follower StrategyThis strategy goes long when highs are broken and uses a trailing stop that follows swing lows. User can configure a back test date range and choose whether or not to only take trades above a selected moving average.
The desire for me to make this script was to try to capture those extreme breakouts that can occur after a consolidation/equilibrium pattern. This catches those using stop-buys as the entry. Out of all the scripts I have made thus far, this one is the one that has the best results. Time frames might vary due to commission structures, etc. I currently use this strategy on stocks on the 30-min time frame and crypto (with Coinbase's high fees) on the 2-hr time frame.
