Candlestick analysis
Pivot Edge ProOverview
Smart Pivot Analytics is a highly accurate technical analysis tool designed to identify and validate significant price levels. Unlike standard pivot indicators that only mark recent highs, this tool backtests each identified pivot against thousands of historical candlesticks to calculate its real-world “success rate.”
Key Features
Historical Backtesting: The indicator scans up to 4,900 historical columns to find every instance where price interacted with a specific pivot level.
Strength Score (%): Each level is assigned a percentage score based on its reversal rate. It calculates how many times the price has successfully reached and rejected the level, providing a statistical “hit rate.”
Dynamic Hit Counter: Displays the exact number of times a level has been tested (hit), helping traders distinguish between new levels and established “old” levels.
Smart Filtering: To keep the chart clean, the indicator automatically filters out weak levels and prevents “clutter” by merging levels that are too close together.
Infinite Left Projection: Lines extend left to infinity, allowing traders to see the historical significance of a level across the entire price history at a glance.
How to Trade with It
Red Levels (High Power > 75%): These are “Top Reaction Zones”. Expect a strong price rejection or significant breakout when these levels are tested.
Orange Levels (Medium Power): Suitable for profit targets or as secondary confirmation for entering a trade.
Encounter: Use these levels in conjunction with your existing strategy. When a high power pivot aligns with your entry signal, the probability of a successful trade increases significantly.
Technical Parameters
Lookback Period: Defines how far back in history the script calculates power.
Touch Radius: The "sensitivity" of the level (how close the price has to get to be considered a "hit").
Minimum Strength: A filter to show only the most reliable levels.

The Engulfing Liquidity Signal with Adjustable Trailing StopEngulfing Liquidity Signal with Adjustable Trailing Stop
This strategy is designed to enter long trades based on the Engulfing Liquidity Signal combined with a Trailing Stop. The strategy uses custom volume analysis and price action to detect potential market opportunities. The Trailing Stop is adjustable, allowing traders to customize the distance at which the stop will trail the price.
Key Features:
Engulfing Liquidity Signal: The strategy enters a trade when the market shows signs of strong liquidity and price action, typically when there is a strong reversal signal (bullish engulfing) accompanied by higher volume.
Trailing Stop: A dynamic exit strategy that locks in profits by trailing the stop level behind the highest price achieved since the trade entry. This prevents the position from being closed prematurely while still protecting profits if the market reverses.
Customizable Trailing Stop: Users can adjust the trailing stop percentage via the settings. This allows for greater flexibility in how closely the stop will trail the price.
No Fixed Take Profit: The strategy uses only the trailing stop, ensuring that profits are maximized based on price action without a fixed profit target.
How the Strategy Works:
Buy Signal (LongC):
The strategy triggers a buy signal when a bullish engulfing pattern occurs, and the liquidity conditions align (i.e., the volume is increasing and price action shows signs of a potential reversal).
The strategy enters a long position when the signal conditions are met.
Trailing Stop Logic:
Once the trade is initiated, a trailing stop is applied. The stop level follows the highest price achieved since entry, trailing the price based on a user-defined percentage.
The stop level adjusts upward as the price increases, locking in profits. If the price reverses and hits the trailing stop, the trade is closed.
The trailing stop is dynamic, meaning it moves only in the direction of profit, but it will not move lower once it has been set.
Sell Signal (ShortC):
The position will also be closed if a sell signal (ShortC) is generated. This ensures that the strategy exits the trade when a potential reversal is detected in the market.
No Fixed Take Profit:
The strategy does not use a fixed take profit level. Instead, the profit is managed entirely by the trailing stop, which ensures that positions remain open as long as the market is moving in favor of the trade, allowing the position to capture the maximum possible profit.
Settings:
Trailing Stop Percentage: The user can adjust the trailing stop distance by setting a percentage value between 10% and 100%. This controls how tightly or loosely the trailing stop will follow the price.
Benefits:
Maximized Profits: By using a trailing stop, the strategy aims to capture as much profit as possible without prematurely exiting trades.
Customizable: The adjustable trailing stop allows traders to tailor the strategy to their risk tolerance and market conditions.
Simple & Effective: The strategy is straightforward, relying on price action and volume signals, making it easy to understand and implement.
Ideal Use Case:
This strategy is suitable for traders who prefer to let their profits run and manage risk with a trailing stop. It is particularly useful in trending markets where the price continues to move in one direction for an extended period. By using a trailing stop, the strategy allows you to stay in the market and capture large moves while protecting profits.
This strategy provides an excellent combination of automated trade management with a Trailing Stop and Engulfing Liquidity Signal, making it a solid choice for traders seeking to automate their trades with customizable risk management.

WN 5-20-50 SMA Setup (Discrete Lines = SL TP) Multiple Entries Pretty Simple Script as I got this idea from a YouTuber that showed us how to use AI to make TradingView Indicators.
When the 5 day Simple Moving Average Goes Above the 20 day Simple Moving Average it issues a BUY Signal when the Trend itself is over the 50 day Simple Moving Average.
When the 5 day Simple Moving Average Goes Below the 20 day Simple Moving Average it issues a SELL Signal when the Trend itself is under the 50 day Simple Moving Average.
The Green Cloud Represents price over the 50 day Simple Moving Average. BUY signals will only show up in the green cloud.
The Red Cloud Represents price under the 50 day Simple Moving Average. SELL signals will only show up in the green cloud.
The lines represent Stop Loss and two Take Profit Levels. Take Profit 1 is 1.5x the stop loss and Take Profit 2 is 3x the Stop Loss.
This version of the Script has multiple Trend signals for entries so you can scale into a trade when the Trend is being aggressive.
UT Bot + Hull MA Close-Cross Confirm (Strategy)UT Bot + Hull MA Close-Cross Confirm (Strategy)
This strategy combines the classic UT Bot ATR trailing stop with a Hull Moving Average (HMA) close-cross confirmation to reduce false signals and improve trade quality.
The system works in two stages:
UT Bot Signal Detection
A volatility-adjusted ATR trailing stop identifies potential trend shifts using a 1-period EMA crossover. This provides early buy and sell signals based on momentum and volatility.
Hull MA Close-Cross Confirmation
UT Bot signals are only confirmed once price closes across the Hull Moving Average. If a UT signal occurs on the wrong side of the Hull MA, the strategy waits until a valid close-cross occurs before triggering an entry. This confirmation step helps filter chop and late-trend reversals.
Key Features
Non-repainting logic (uses bar-close confirmation)
Futures-friendly design (fixed contracts, point-based TP/SL)
Supports Long, Short, or Both directions
Built-in Take Profit & Stop Loss
Configurable Hull MA type (HMA / EHMA / THMA)
Optional Heikin Ashi signal source
Clean Buy/Sell alerts for automation and webhook execution
Trade Logic Summary
Long Entry:
UT Bot buy signal + confirmed close above Hull MA
Short Entry:
UT Bot sell signal + confirmed close below Hull MA
Exit:
Fixed Take Profit or Stop Loss (user-defined in points)
Alerts & Automation
The strategy includes dedicated Buy Alert and Sell Alert conditions designed for webhook automation (e.g., trade logging, execution engines, or external dashboards). Alerts trigger only on confirmed bar closes, matching backtest behavior.
Intended Use
This strategy is designed for futures markets (e.g., MNQ, ES, GC) and performs best on intraday timeframes. Session filters, risk rules, and trade management can be handled externally if desired.

Engulfing Strategy Core Concept:
This is a price action trading strategy that identifies high-probability trade setups by combining multi-timeframe engulfing patterns with Current Market Price (CMP) validation.
How It Works:
H4 Setup Zone (Primary Timeframe)
Identifies Bullish or Bearish Engulfing patterns on the 4-hour timeframe
When detected, marks a zone at the high and low of the engulfed candle
This zone represents the initial setup area
M30 Trade Control Zone (Confirmation Timeframe)
Looks for Engulfing patterns on the 30-minute timeframe
These patterns must form within or near the H4 setup zone
Acts as a confirmation that the setup is valid
CMP Validation (Current Market Price)
Monitors where price is currently trading relative to the zones
Validates whether the pattern is still active or has been invalidated
Helps determine entry timing and stop loss placement
Trade Setup:
Bullish Setup: Red candle engulfed by green candles → Zone marked at red candle's high/low → Wait for M30 confirmation → Enter when CMP validates the pattern
Bearish Setup: Green candle engulfed by red candles → Zone marked at green candle's high/low → Wait for M30 confirmation → Enter when CMP validates the pattern

Gold Smart Scalper V3 - Clean ChartOverview
The Gold Smart Scalper V3 is a trend-following momentum strategy specifically optimized for XAU/USD (Gold). It focuses on catching "value pullbacks" within a strong trend, avoiding the noise of sideways markets. Unlike many scalpers that use lagging indicators for exits, this version uses fixed ATR-based targets to lock in profits during high-volatility moves common in Gold.
Core Methodology
The strategy operates on three layers of confirmation:
Macro Trend (HTF Filter): Uses a 50-period EMA to ensure trades are only taken in the direction of the higher-timeframe momentum.
The Value Zone: Instead of "chasing" green or red candles, the script waits for a pullback to the space between the 9 EMA and 21 EMA. This ensures a better risk-to-reward entry point.
The Trigger: A trade is only executed when price confirms the resumption of the trend by crossing back over the signal EMA after the pullback.
Key Features
Fixed Profit Targets: Replaced dynamic trailing stops with fixed Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels based on ATR, ensuring exits aren't "hunted" by Gold's signature volatility spikes.
C lean Chart Interface : All moving average plots are hidden. The only visuals provided are the active TP/SL levels when a trade is live, keeping your workspace clutter-free.
Single-Trade Logic: The script includes a "One Trade Per Cross" gate, preventing the strategy from over-trading or "stacking" positions during choppy price action.
Settings & OptimizationATR Multipliers :
Stop Loss (SL): Default $2.0 \times ATR$. Protects against standard market noise.Take Profit (TP): Default $3.0 \times ATR$. Designed for a high Risk/Reward profile.Timeframe Recommendation: Optimized for 15m and 1H for swing scalping, or 5m for aggressive scalping.Instrument: Specifically tuned for Gold (XAU/USD), but applicable to other high-volatility pairs like GBP/JPY or NASDAQ.

A-Share Broad-Based ETF Dual-Core Timing System1. Strategy Overview
The "A-Share Broad-Based ETF Dual-Core Timing System" is a quantitative trading strategy tailored for the Chinese A-share market (specifically for broad-based ETFs like CSI 300, CSI 500, STAR 50). Recognizing the market's characteristic of "short bulls, long bears, and sharp bottoms," this strategy employs a "Left-Side Latency + Right-Side Full Position" dual-core driver. It aims to safely bottom-fish during the late stages of a bear market and maximize profits during the main ascending waves of a bull market.
2. Core Logic
A. Left-Side Latency (Rebound/Bottom Fishing)
Capital Allocation: Defaults to 50% position.
Philosophy: "Buy when others fear." Seeks opportunities in extreme panic or momentum divergence.
Entry Signals (Triggered by any of the following):
Extreme Panic: RSI Oversold (<30) + Price below Bollinger Lower Band + Bullish Candle Close (Avoid catching falling knives).
Oversold Bias: Price deviates more than 15% from the 60-day MA (Life Line), betting on mean reversion.
MACD Bullish Divergence: Price makes a new low while MACD histogram does not, accompanied by strengthening momentum.
B. Right-Side Full Position (Trend Following)
Capital Allocation: Aggressively scales up to Full Position (~99%) upon signal trigger.
Philosophy: "Follow the trend." Strike heavily once the trend is confirmed.
Entry Signals (All must be met):
Upward Trend: MACD Golden Cross + Price above 20-day MA.
Breakout Confirmation: CCI indicator breaks above 100, confirming a main ascending wave.
Volume Support: Volume MACD Golden Cross, ensuring price increase is backed by volume.
C. Smart Risk Control
Bear Market Exhaustion Exit: In a bearish trend (MA20 < MA60), the strategy does not "hold and hope." It immediately liquidates left-side positions upon signs of rebound exhaustion (breaking below MA20, touching MA60 resistance, or RSI failure).
ATR Trailing Stop: Uses Average True Range (ATR) to calculate a dynamic stop-profit line that rises with the price to lock in profits.
Hard Stop Loss: Forces a stop-loss if the left-side bottom fishing fails and losses exceed a set ATR multiple, preventing deep drawdowns.
3. Recommendations
Target Assets: High liquidity broad-based ETFs such as CSI 300 ETF (510300), CSI 500 ETF (510500), ChiNext ETF (159915), STAR 50 ETF (588000).
Timeframe: Daily Chart.

[TA] Sessions OHLC# TA Sessions OHLC
TA Sessions OHLC is a session-based market structure indicator that maps Regular Trading Hours (RTH) and Globex / Extended Hours (ETH) levels directly onto your chart.
It provides a clear, consistent framework for understanding where price is trading relative to session structure , so you can make better decisions around context, bias, and execution.
This indicator does not generate signals. It defines the map.
---
## What TA Sessions OHLC Plots
### 🔹 Regular Trading Hours (RTH)
* Session High
* Session Low
* Session Mid
* RTH Open
* Optional Previous RTH High / Low
### 🔹 Globex / Extended Trading Hours (ETH)
* Session High
* Session Low
* Session Mid
* Globex Open
* Globex Close
* Optional Previous Globex High / Low
### 🔹 Additional References
* Previous Open / Previous Close
* Week Open / Previous Week Open
* Optional RTH range extension levels (projected above and below the session range)
### 🔹 Session Table (Optional)
An on-chart table showing:
* Open, High, Low, Mid, Close, Range
For both RTH and ETH , with configurable layout and styling.
---
## How Traders Use This Indicator
TA Sessions OHLC is designed to answer one core question:
“Where are we trading relative to the session?”
Below are common, practical use cases.
---
## 1️⃣ Session Bias & Context
* Price above RTH Mid → bullish session context
* Price below RTH Mid → bearish session context
* Price rotating around mid → balanced / rotational session
Many traders use the session mid as a bias filter , not an entry signal.
---
## 2️⃣ RTH vs Globex Behavior
Globex often sets the range , and RTH decides acceptance or rejection .
Common observations:
* RTH breaking and holding above Globex High → acceptance
* RTH failing at Globex High/Low → rejection / fade opportunity
* RTH trading back into Globex range → balance / chop risk
TA Sessions OHLC makes these relationships explicit.
---
## 3️⃣ Previous Session Levels as Reaction Zones
Previous RTH and Globex highs/lows frequently act as:
* Support / resistance
* Liquidity targets
* Decision points during trend continuation or reversal
Use them to:
* Define areas to take profits
* Avoid chasing trades into known reference levels
* Frame risk (what happens if this level fails?)
---
## 4️⃣ Opens & Closes as Anchors
* RTH Open often defines early bias
* Globex Close often acts as an overnight reference
* Previous Close is frequently defended or tested early in the session
These levels help identify:
* Early trend days
* Failed opens
* Range-bound sessions
---
## 5️⃣ Range Expansion & Extension Levels
Optional extension levels project potential expansion beyond the RTH range.
Typical use:
* Price breaks RTH High → extension levels become contextual upside zones
* Price breaks RTH Low → downside extensions frame potential continuation
These are reference zones , not targets.
---
## How NOT to Use This Indicator
* Do not treat levels as automatic buy/sell signals
* Do not assume every level must hold
* Do not trade every touch
This tool defines structure , not entries.
---
## Best Practices
* Use on intraday charts (1–30 minute recommended)
* Combine with:
* Order flow
* Price action
* Volume / VWAP
* Your existing execution model
* Disable levels you don’t use to keep charts clean
---
## Supported Sessions
Preconfigured for:
* CME
* NYSE
* London
* Tokyo
Higher-timeframe session modes (weekly/monthly) are not included in this version and may be added later.
---
## Who This Indicator Is For
TA Sessions OHLC is built for traders who:
* Care about session behavior
* Trade futures, indices, or liquid intraday markets
* Want objective structure without signals or bias
* Prefer understanding context before execution

Real-Time Mitigation FVG [cx.liquidityhunter]
This is the only **Fair Value Gap (FVG)** indicator 100% focused on **Liquidity Warfare**. It doesn't just detect the gap; it monitors in **Real-Time** how buyers and sellers are fighting inside that zone and how much of it has been mitigated (filled).
Why "Real-Time Mitigation"?
Because it shows you live mitigation % and Buy/Sell Pressure. If a Bullish FVG is being mitigated but Sell Pressure is 90%, it's a trap! This indicator reveals it.
Key Features:
⚡ Live Mitigation Monitor: Calculates tick-by-tick what percentage of the FVG has been filled (0-100%).
⚖️ Sell/Buy Pressure: Internal bar showing volume dominance. Who controls the gap?
🚨 Mitigation Entry Alerts: Set alerts for when price mitigates a specific % (e.g., 50% "Equilibrium") of a high-quality FVG.
🧹 Quality Filtering: Hides "trash" FVGs that lack institutional volume.
How to use:
Use it to validate your entries. Before placing a limit order on an FVG, check this indicator:
1. Is volume supporting the direction? (Internal bar matches FVG color).
2. Has it mitigated at least 50% (discount zone)?

ADX Regime (5m) Companion PaneADX Regime Filter (5-Minute) — Trade Permission Indicator
This indicator is a market regime filter designed to answer one question only:
Is this market worth trading right now?
It is built specifically for intraday futures trading, with a strong focus on Gold (GC / MGC) and prop-firm style discipline.
What This Indicator Does
This ADX indicator does not give buy or sell signals.
Instead, it tells you when to trade and when to stand down.
Gold spends a large portion of the day in compression or VWAP chop.
Trading during those periods destroys consistency and drawdown control.
This indicator helps you avoid those conditions.
How ADX Is Used Here
ADX is calculated on the 5-minute timeframe
It measures trend strength and expansion, not direction
Direction should come from structure or higher-timeframe bias, not ADX
ADX is used strictly as a permission filter.
ADX Zones Explained
The indicator includes clear horizontal reference levels:
Below 18
Compression / chop
No trade environment
20 to 35
Optimal expansion zone
Best conditions for pullbacks and continuations
35 to 45
Strong trend
Trade cautiously or only first pullbacks
Above 45
Late expansion or news-driven volatility
No new entries recommended
These zones are visual guides to keep trading decisions objective.
What This Indicator Is NOT
It is not a signal generator
It is not an entry tool
It is not predictive
ADX does not tell you what direction to trade.
It tells you whether trading is allowed at all.
Best Practices
Use ADX on the 5-minute chart
Combine it with:
Higher-timeframe trend
VWAP or key levels
Clear price action
If ADX is below 18, standing aside is a valid trade decision
Who This Indicator Is For
Futures traders
Prop firm traders
Traders who value:
Capital protection
Fewer but higher-quality trades
Consistency over activity
Core Principle
ADX is a gatekeeper.
When it says no, you do nothing.
When it says yes, you still wait for structure and location.
This mindset alone can dramatically improve discipline and results.
GC/MGC VWAP Pullback + ADX Regime (Prop-Safe)GC / MGC VWAP Pullback + ADX Regime Strategy (Prop-Safe)
This strategy is designed specifically for Gold futures (GC & MGC) and prop firm trading, where capital preservation, consistency, and avoiding chop matter more than trade frequency.
The core philosophy is simple:
Only trade gold when it is expanding, aligned, and at the right location.
Strategy Concept
Gold moves in bursts, not constantly.
Most losses come from trading compression, VWAP chop, or late momentum.
This strategy filters those environments out and trades only:
Strong intraday momentum
Clear higher-timeframe direction
First pullbacks to VWAP
Clean price rejection with follow-through
It intentionally produces fewer but higher-quality trades.
Market Regime Filter (ADX)
ADX is evaluated on the 5-minute chart
This is the trade permission filter
ADX zones:
Below 18 → No trade (compression / chop)
20–35 → Optimal trading zone
35–45 → Caution (strong trend, reduced opportunity)
Above 45 → No new entries (late expansion / news risk)
ADX does not determine direction.
It only determines whether trading is allowed.
Direction Filter (Higher Timeframe)
Direction comes from the 1-Hour chart
EMA 20 above EMA 50 → Long bias only
EMA 20 below EMA 50 → Short bias only
Optional slope confirmation for additional strictness
No counter-trend trades.
Entry Logic (5-Minute Chart)
Trades are taken using a VWAP pullback continuation model.
Long Setup
ADX between 20–35
1H EMA 20 > EMA 50
Price pulls back to VWAP
Bullish rejection candle at VWAP
Entry on break of the rejection candle high
Short Setup
ADX between 20–35
1H EMA 20 < EMA 50
Price pulls back to VWAP from below
Bearish rejection candle at VWAP
Entry on break of the rejection candle low
All entries use stop orders, not market orders, to ensure follow-through.
Risk Management
Stop loss is placed beyond the rejection candle
Partial profit at 1R
Final target at 2R
No pyramiding
One clean setup is preferred over multiple trades
This structure aligns well with prop firm rules, trailing drawdowns, and consistency requirements.
What This Strategy Avoids
VWAP chop
Range-bound sessions
Overtrading
Late entries after news spikes
Counter-trend setups
If conditions are not ideal, no trade is the correct trade.
Best Use Case
Instruments: GC, MGC
Timeframe: 5-minute
Style: Intraday, prop-firm friendly
Ideal for traders who value:
Discipline
Structure
Capital protection
