Macketings 1min ScalpingThis is a hyper-reactive scalping strategy designed for the 1-minute chart. It utilizes a strict four-EMA hierarchy (80/90/340/500) to ensure trades are only taken in the strongest aligned market trend. The strategy is built to be extremely tight on risk and focuses on capturing the immediate, high-momentum swing that follows a confirmed EMA retest or breakout.
Key Mechanics (How it Works):
Strict Trend Alignment: Entry is only permitted when the faster EMA band (80/90) and the price action are correctly aligned with the slow trend (340/500).
Long: EMA 80/90 must be above EMA 340/500, AND EMA 340 must be above EMA 500. (And vice-versa for Short.)
Expanded Retest Entry: The strategy waits for the price to retest or briefly enter the 80/90 band, then immediately enters upon the confirmed momentum breakout from that band.
Dynamic Risk Management (Tight Ride): The strategy is engineered to ride the wave aggressively while protecting capital immediately:
Extremely Tight Initial Stop Loss (0.2% default): Limits initial risk instantly.
Break-Even Security: Once profit hits 0.3%, the Stop Loss is automatically trailed to secure 0.2% profit (a risk-free trade).
Aggressive Exit Logic: Positions are closed not only upon hitting the Take Profit target (2.5%) but also immediately if the 80/90 EMA band crosses the 340 EMA, signaling a critical loss of momentum.
Disclaimer:
This strategy requires high-liquidity instruments and is best used on low timeframes (1-minute) due to its dependency on fast momentum shifts and tight stops. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial before deployment.

Smart Trend Signal with Bands [wjdtks255]Indicator Description for TradingView
Title: Adaptive Trend Kernel
Description:
The "Adaptive Trend Kernel " is a versatile trend-following and volatility indicator designed to help traders identify dynamic market trends, potential reversals, and price extremes within a channel. Built upon a customized linear regression model, this indicator provides clear visual cues to enhance your trading decisions.
Key Features:
Regression Line: A central dynamic line representing the core trend direction, calculated based on a user-defined "Regression Length."
Regression Bands: Standard deviation-based bands plotted around the Regression Line, which act like a dynamic channel. These bands expand and contract with market volatility, indicating potential overbought/oversold conditions relative to the trend.
Trend Reversal Signals: Distinct "Up" (green triangle up) and "Down" (red triangle down) signals are generated when the price (close) crosses over or under the Regression Line. These signals suggest potential shifts in the short-term trend direction.
Visual Customization: Highly flexible input options for adjusting line colors, band colors, line width, and panel opacity. Users can toggle the visibility of bands and trend labels to suit their chart preferences.
Panel Label: A subtle "Regression" label is dynamically positioned, offering clear context without cluttering the main chart.
How it Works: The indicator calculates a linear regression line as the adaptive center of the price movement. Standard deviation is then used to create upper and lower bands, encapsulating typical price fluctuations. Signals are fired when price breaks out of the regression line, suggesting a momentum shift in line with the established trend or a potential reversal.
Trading Methods & Strategies
Here are some trading strategies you can apply using the "Adaptive Trend Kernel " indicator:
Trend-Following with Confirmation:
Long Entry: Look for an "Up" signal (green triangle up) when the price is above the Regression Line, especially after a brief retracement towards the line. This confirms that the uptrend is likely resuming.
Short Entry: Look for a "Down" signal (red triangle down) when the price is below the Regression Line, especially after a brief rally towards the line. This confirms that the downtrend is likely resuming.
Exit Strategy: Consider exiting if an opposite signal appears, or if the price closes outside the opposite band, indicating potential overextension or reversal.
Reversal / Counter-Trend Play:
Long Entry (Aggressive): When the price approaches or briefly dips below the Lower Regression Band and then generates an "Up" signal (green triangle up). This could indicate a potential bounce from an oversold condition relative to the trend.
Short Entry (Aggressive): When the price approaches or briefly moves above the Upper Regression Band and then generates a "Down" signal (red triangle down). This could indicate a potential pullback from an overbought condition relative to the trend.
Confirmation: This strategy works best when combined with other reversal confirmation patterns (e.g., bullish/bearish engulfing candlesticks) or divergences in other momentum indicators (like RSI).
Volatility Breakout:
Entry (Long): After a period of low volatility where the Regression Bands are narrow, observe if the price decisively breaks above the Upper Regression Band and an "Up" signal appears. This suggests a strong bullish momentum breakout.
Entry (Short): After a period of low volatility where the Regression Bands are narrow, observe if the price decisively breaks below the Lower Regression Band and a "Down" signal appears. This suggests a strong bearish momentum breakdown.
Management: Volatility breakouts can be swift; use appropriate risk management and profit-taking strategies.
Important Considerations:
Risk Management: Always apply proper stop-loss and take-profit levels. No indicator is infallible.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Adjust the "Regression Length" and "Band Multiplier" according to the asset and timeframe you are trading. Shorter lengths might suit scalping, while longer lengths are better for swing trading.
Confirmation with Other Tools: For higher conviction trades, use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools such like volume, MACD, or RSI on an oscillator pane.
Backtesting: Always backtest any strategy on historical data to understand its performance characteristics before live trading.
Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion # Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion
## TITLE:
Elliott Wave + Smart Money Concepts Fusion
---
## SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Automated Elliott Wave pattern detection with Smart Money Concepts confirmation, EWO oscillator integration, and confluence scoring system.
---
## FULL DESCRIPTION:
### 📊 OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system:
- **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns
- **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation
- **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation
The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators.
---
### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS
**1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)**
- Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points
- Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%)
- Requires minimum wave size to filter noise
- Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals
**2. Wave Projections**
- Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618)
- Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%)
- Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4
**3. Smart Money Validation**
- **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint)
- **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance
**4. EWO Confirmation**
- Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100
- Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction
- Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold)
**5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)**
Points awarded for:
- Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts)
- Order Block presence (15 pts)
- Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts)
- Volume confirmation (10-15 pts)
- Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts)
- EWO confirmation (10-20 pts)
---
### 🎯 UNIQUE FEATURES
**Pattern Locking System**
- Once a valid pattern is detected, it locks until:
- Pattern invalidates (price breaks Wave 0)
- Pattern completes (Wave 5 reached)
- Auto-timeout (configurable bars)
- Prevents rapid signal flipping and false alerts
**Signal Stability Controls**
- Adjustable cooldown between signals (default: 20 bars)
- Minimum bar distance between wave points
- Direction change requirement option
- Confirmation bars after Wave 2 formation
**Visual Wave Tracking**
- Solid lines for impulse waves (0→1, 2→3, 4→5)
- Dashed lines for corrective waves (1→2, 3→4)
- Numbered labels on each wave point
- Real-time projection lines to targets
**Comprehensive Dashboard**
- Current wave status and lock state
- Pattern grade (A+ to D based on confluence)
- Projected vs actual wave levels (✓ when completed)
- SMC confirmation status
- Risk/Reward ratio calculation
- EWO trend direction
---
### 📈 TRADING APPLICATION
**Entry Strategy**
- Wait for Wave 1-2 pattern detection (diamond signal)
- Check confluence score (>65% = higher probability)
- Verify EWO alignment with pattern direction
- Enter after 30% retracement of Wave 2 (customizable)
**Risk Management**
- Stop Loss: Below Wave 0 (with buffer)
- Take Profit 1: Wave 3 projection
- Take Profit 2: Wave 5 projection
- R:R displayed in dashboard
**Invalidation Rules**
- Price breaks below Wave 0 (bullish) or above (bearish)
- Wave 2 level violated before Wave 3 forms
- Pattern timeout exceeded

Structure Pilot - Z&Z [Wang Indicators]Structure Pilot Zone & Zil is a complete suite of structure driven features that's build around pattern that can be visible around any timeframe.
Built in collaboration with Dave Teaches,
All these tools were shaped and combined together as the only toolkit Structure & DTFX traders want to have !
▫️ Structures & Zones ▫️
Zones are drawn when a break of structure (new high or low being created) or a market reversal happens.
It will highlight the last valid down move before a new high for bullish zones and the last valid up move before a new low for bearish zones.
These zones are used to analyze the market trend and to make entries into the market trend once the price retraces into these zones.
For example, with the latest bullish zones drawn in green for LTF zones and in blue for HTF zones, when the price retraces into this zone, there is a strong probability that the price will turn around to provide a buying opportunity all the way to the top of the zone or even higher.
These buying opportunities generally occur at specific retracement levels in the 30%, 50% and 70% zones, automatically represented by broken lines in the zones when they are created.
Example with bullish zones :
The aim with these zones is to find places on the chart where it's best to buy or sell, in order to take the biggest possible move while minimizing your risk.
Indeed, if the price is rising and a bullish zone has been created, I don't want to buy on the highs, preferring to wait for a retracement in my bullish zone to buy lower and reduce my risk, as the invalidation of the current trend will be found below the last protected low under the bullish zone drawn in blue for the HTF and in green for the LTF. Conversely, if the price is falling and a bearish zone has been created, I don't want to sell at the bottom. I'd rather wait for a retracement in the bearish zone to sell higher and reduce my risk, as the invalidation of the current trend will this time be above the last protected high above the bearish zone drawn in orange for the HTF and red for the LTF.
Example with bearish zones :
When it comes to market structure, it's good to know that zones recur within the same trend at a frequency of between 3 and 6 before there's a trend reversal.
So, after a certain number of successive zones, you can expect a reversal or the last protected high or low to be breached. The indicator automatically counts the number of successive zones, so you can keep track of the market and avoid surprises.
The zones are generated through the structure length. It can be increased to display larger (and more important) zones.
As we recommend keeping the default value (20) for new traders, experienced traders will find some success with other settings depending on their strategies.
Structure Pilot also provides auto HTF Zones, which is particularly useful to have a macro vision of the market.
Settings:
Swing types: Bullish only, Bearish only, both, or none
Structure length
Swing count: useful when it comes to tracking Trend strenght in any given time frame
Show Zones: Display boxes with 30%, 50%, and 70% fibs
Show HTF Zones: Display HTF zones with the same retracement configuration as the regular zones
Show 30%, 50% and 70%: Enable/disable these options to show or hide the corresponding fibs.
Box visibility, Line width & Line style: Style configuration for the zone
All settings can be activated or deactivated in the indicator parameters to suit individual needs and preferences.
30% Level : This is often considered a shallow retracement. If prices pull back to this level after an uptrend and flip in a lower timeframe, traders might view it as a strong sign of continued bullish momentum. Conversely, after a downtrend, this level could act as a temporary resistance where sellers might re-enter after a flip in a lower timeframe.
50% Level : This level is seen as a balance point or midpoint in the price move. A retracement to 50% can indicate a strong trend change or continuation.
70% Level : A retracement this deep can signal that the market might be losing steam or that the previous trend could be weakening. If the price bounces off this level, it might suggest that the trend is still in control but needed a more significant correction before moving further in its original direction.
We as structure traders prefer to take entry out of The 50% or when price retrace past it
there will be something at the level i'm looking for price to reverse from either some specific candles or imbalances.
Advanced traders might combine these levels with other tools or chart patterns that we bundle in this indicator.
▫️ ZIL ▫️
The ZIL Indicator is designed to automate the process of identifying key structural levels in the market and applying Fibonacci retracements when a significant price break occurs.
The indicator detects when a market structure (high or low) is broken and a candle closes below the previous low or above the previous high, indicating a potential trend shift or continuation.
• Tracks the break of structural lows or highs and waits for a confirmation candle that closes above or bellow the candle that set the new low.
Automated Fibonacci Retracement:
• Once the structure break is confirmed, the indicator automatically plots a Fibonacci retracement between:
• The high of the last bullish move (before the new low is set) or the low of the last bearish move (before the new high is set)
• The newly formed low after the structure break or the newly formed high after the structure break
Fibonacci levels plotted with colors :
• -0.27 : Dark red - Stop loss
• 0 : white - The new high/low - Potential entry
• 0.3, Orange 0.5, Light green 0.7: Green : Levels - Partial and take profit zones
• 1.15 pale blue - for your runner
We may long the retracement when the price is comming from a bearish zone using the ZIL to manage
Example :
Multi-Timeframe Support:
• Using the option "HTF ZIL" will display ZIL on higher timeframe (corresponding to the HTF Zones) on your charts to help traders find structural breaks and Fibonacci setups in both short-term and long-term markets.
HTF ZIL is really usefull to manage trades if the regular ZIL target get ran through
Wang use case :
HTF zill level are used when the small zill get ran through
▫️ Opening Range Tracker ▫️
The Opening Range Tracker is designed to help traders identify and track the opening range of a specified time period, specifically starting with the 144-minute candle between 8:24 AM and 10:48 AM. (default value) The indicator highlights this range and automatically plots key levels (30%, 50%, 70%) to provide potential strong reaction areas for trading. The time period for the opening range is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust it according to their strategy.
Opening range should be seen and used as a classic zone. If we trade above or below it price tend to come back into it and bounce of of the One or multiple level...
classic 30/50/70.
• Customizable Opening Range: Adapt the indicator to any market or session by changing the opening range time window.
• Precise Levels for Trading: The 30%, 50%, and 70% levels provide key zones where price may react, helping traders define entries, exits, or stop loss placements.
• Visual Clarity: The range box and levels make it easy to see the important price areas during the opening range and the rest of the trading session. If we range a lot in the opening range, we may range for the rest of the day. We should keep that in mind to avoid taking wrong decisions.
its basically a large zone that's we have seen often time price rejects from the level in it
Daily Reset: Each trading day resets the opening range, giving traders fresh data and new opportunities to capitalize on market movements.
Structure Pilot is built for beginner and experienced. It provides the tools to the traders that want to learn, understand, and trade efficiently within the principles of structure trading.

### MACD_sma20 – Multi-Timeframe MACD Pullback & SMA20 Dashboard
This script is a complete trading toolkit built around a **MACD pullback strategy** combined with **multi-timeframe SMA20 filters**, volume analysis, and a compact information panel.
It is designed for traders who like to:
* Trade **MACD pullbacks above the moving average**
* Track **key SMA20 levels across multiple timeframes** (Daily, 3-Day, Weekly, Monthly)
* Quickly see whether **current price is above or below those reference levels**
* Use **clean visual signals** for entries and exits, instead of staring at raw indicator values
---
### Core Features
#### 1. MACD Pullback Long Signal (Green Triangle Up)
The script detects a **bullish MACD pullback** pattern:
* MACD line is still **above** the signal line
* Both MACD line and histogram **pull back** for several bars
* Then MACD turns back up again, with price trading **above the local SMA20**
When this “pullback and re-acceleration” is confirmed, a **green triangle below the bar** is plotted as a **long entry signal**.
There is also an optional filter:
* **Weekly SMA20 filter**:
If enabled, long signals are only triggered when **current price is above the Weekly SMA20**, helping you stay on the right side of the higher-timeframe trend.
---
#### 2. Bearish Pullback Confirmation Signal (Red Triangle Down)
On the short side, the script detects a **bearish pullback confirmation** based on:
* A recent **high-volume bearish candle** (large down bar with volume above a multiple of the 20-period volume average)
* At least a minimum number of **negative MACD histogram bars**
* MACD line moving closer to the signal line (loss of momentum)
* Price recovering back up near the **top of that high-volume bearish candle**, then starting to fall again while MACD stays positive
When all conditions align, the script prints a **red triangle above the bar**, indicating a **bearish pullback confirmation** – often a good area to take profits on longs or consider short/hedge setups.
---
#### 3. Signal History Tracking
For both long and short signals, the script internally tracks the **most recent three signals**:
* Timestamp of the signal
* Price at the signal
* Short-term percentage change into the signal
This is mainly for internal use and future expansion, but already gives you a structured signal history if you want to extend or connect the logic later.
---
### Multi-Timeframe SMA20 Dashboard (Bottom-Right Panel)
One of the most useful parts of this script is the **compact dashboard table** in the **bottom-right corner** of the chart. It updates in real time and shows:
1. **Current Price**
2. **Daily SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
3. **3-Day SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
4. **Weekly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
5. **Monthly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
6. **RSI** (current timeframe)
For each timeframe’s SMA20:
* If **price ≥ SMA20**, the status cell is **green** with a ✓
* If **price < SMA20**, the status cell is **red** with a ✗
This gives you, at a glance:
* Is the market in a **short-term uptrend or downtrend** (Daily SMA20)?
* Is the **swing / position trend** healthy (3D & Weekly SMA20)?
* Is the broader **macro structure** supportive (Monthly SMA20)?
You don’t need to manually switch timeframes or add multiple moving averages – the script does all of that for you automatically using `request.security`.
---
### Alerts
The script comes with two built-in alert conditions:
* **MACD回踩转多信号 (MACD pullback bullish signal)**
* **空头回抽确认信号 (Bearish pullback confirmation signal)**
You can attach TradingView alerts to these conditions to get notified whenever a new long or bearish-confirmation setup appears, even when you’re not watching the chart.
---
### How to Use It in Your Trading
1. **Choose your main trading timeframe**
* For intraday swing: 15m / 1h / 4h
* For swing / position: 4h / Daily
2. **Watch the bottom-right SMA20 panel**
* If most higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are **green**, you are trading **with the larger trend**.
* If they are **mixed or mostly red**, you’re either counter-trend or in a choppy transition zone.
3. **Use the green MACD pullback signals**
* Prefer long setups when:
* The **Weekly and Monthly SMA20 rows are green**, and
* The signal appears **above the Daily SMA20**
* This stacks multiple edges: trend + pullback + momentum re-acceleration.
4. **Use the red bearish confirmation signals for risk management**
* Take partial profits on longs when a red signal appears near resistance.
* Consider hedge/short opportunities if higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are already red or turning red.
5. **Use RSI as a context indicator**
* Combine with overbought/oversold zones or your own RSI thresholds for additional confirmation.
---
### Why This Script Is Useful
* **Trend awareness across timeframes**:
You always know where current price sits relative to the Daily / 3-Day / Weekly / Monthly SMA20 – without switching charts.
* **Clear, rule-based signals**:
The MACD logic is explicit and systematic, focused on **pullbacks within trends** rather than random crossovers.
* **Volume-aware bearish logic**:
High-volume bearish candles often mark important supply zones. The script builds this idea directly into the short-side confirmation logic.
* **Visual and intuitive**:
Green/Red triangles + Green/Red table cells make it easy to interpret even if you are not a heavy indicator user.
* **Flexible**:
All key parameters (MACD lengths, SMA length, volume threshold, lookback period, RSI length, weekly filter) are customizable, so you can adapt it to different markets (crypto, stocks, FX) and timeframes.
---
In short, this script is a **multi-timeframe MACD pullback system with an integrated SMA20 dashboard**, suitable for swing traders and position traders who want a structured, visually clean way to align entries with trend and momentum while keeping an eye on higher-timeframe levels.
Qullamagi EMA Breakout Autotrade (Crypto Futures L+S)Title: Qullamagi EMA Breakout – Crypto Autotrade
Overview
A crypto-focused, Qullamagi-style EMA breakout strategy built for autotrading on futures and perpetual swaps.
It combines a 5-MA trend stack (EMA 10/20, SMA 50/100/200), volatility contraction boxes, volume spikes and an optional higher-timeframe 200-MA filter. The script supports both long and short trades, partial take profit, trailing MA exits and percent-of-equity position sizing for automated crypto futures trading.
Key Features (Crypto)
Qullamagi MA Breakout Engine – trades only when price is aligned with a strong EMA/SMA trend and breaks out of a tight consolidation range. Longs use: Close > EMA10 > EMA20 > SMA50 > SMA100 > SMA200. Shorts are the mirror condition with all MAs sloping in the trend direction.
Strict vs Loose Modes – Strict (Daily) is designed for cleaner swing trades on 1H–4H (full MA stack, box+ATR and volume filters, optional HTF filter). Loose (Intraday) focuses on 10/20/50 alignment with relaxed filters for more frequent 15m–30m signals.
Volatility & Volume Filters for Crypto – ATR-based box height limit to detect volatility contraction, wide-candle filter to avoid chasing exhausted breakouts, and a volume spike condition requiring current volume to exceed an SMA of volume.
Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter (Optional) – uses a 200-period SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 1D). Longs only when HTF close is above the HTF 200-SMA, shorts only when it is below, helping avoid trading against dominant crypto trends.
Autotrade-Oriented Trade Management – position size as % of equity, initial stop anchored to a chosen MA (EMA10 / EMA20 / SMA50) with optional buffer, partial take profit at a configurable R-multiple, trailing MA exit for the remainder, and an optional cooldown after a full exit.
Markets & Timeframes
Best suited for BTC, ETH and major altcoin futures/perpetuals (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.).
Strict preset: 1H–4H charts for classic Qullamagi-style trend structure and fewer fake breakouts.
Loose preset: 15m–30m charts for higher trade frequency and more active intraday trading.
Always retune ATR length, box length, volume multiplier and position size for each symbol and exchange.
Strategy Logic (Quick Summary)
Long (Strict): MA stack in bullish alignment with all MAs sloping up → tight volatility box (ATR-based) → volume spike above SMA(volume) × multiplier → breakout above box high (close or intrabar) → optional HTF close above 200-SMA.
Short: Mirror logic: bearish MA stack, tight box, volume spike and breakdown below box low with optional HTF downtrend.
Best Practices for Crypto
Backtest on each symbol and timeframe you plan to autotrade, including commissions and slippage.
Start on higher timeframes (1H/4H) to learn the behavior, then move to 15m–30m if you want more signals.
Use the higher-timeframe filter when markets are strongly trending to reduce counter-trend trades.
Keep position-size percentage conservative until you fully understand the drawdowns.
Forward-test / paper trade before connecting to live futures accounts.
Webhook / Autotrade Integration
Designed to work with TradingView webhooks and external crypto trading bots.
Alert messages include structured fields such as: EVENT=ENTRY / SCALE_OUT / EXIT, SIDE=LONG / SHORT, STRATEGY=Qullamagi_MA.

cd_sfp_CxGeneral:
This indicator is designed to assist users who trade the Swing Failure Pattern ( SFP ).
In technical literature (various definitions exist), an SFP is a situation where the price violates a previous swing level but fails to close beyond that level.
• (Liquidity Sweep)
• (Buyer or seller dominance)
• (Stop hunt)
• (Turtle Soup)
The general strategy is built upon seeking trade opportunities after an SFP is formed and conviction is established that the market direction has changed.
Components used to gather confirmation:
• Determining Bias: Periodic SAR
• Obtaining Breakout/Reversal Confirmation: Change in State Delivery (CISD)
• Defining the Buyer/Seller Block (Supply/Demand Zones): Mitg Blocks (Mitigation Blocks), FVG (Fair Value Gaps), and Standard Deviation Projection
• Key Levels: Previous HTF (Higher Time Frame) levels
• Setting Targets: Standard Deviation Projection
• Trade Management: Anchored VWAP and opposing blocks
• Time-Based Context: Session Killzone times
• Notifications: An alarm/alert system will be utilized to stay informed.
________________________________________
Details:
Swing and Swing Failure Pattern:
Swing Sweep Types (Liquidity Sweep):
1. Single
2. Consecutive (The liquidity of the entity that swept the liquidity is being swept)
Bias Determination
We need to filter out the numerous SFPs that occur across all time frames. Our first strong filter will be the Bias. We will only look for trades aligned with our bias.
We will use Periodic SAR (Stop and Reverse) to determine the bias. We compare the price with the SAR value from a Higher Time Frame than the one we are trading on.
• Price > SAR => Bullish Bias
• Price < SAR => Bearish Bias
Depending on the pair, H1 SAR may be chosen for scalp trades, and Daily/Weekly SAR for intraday and swing trades.
Key Levels
Strategies looking for trades after a liquidity grab generally state that the sweep / stop hunt movement should occur at a significant price level.
The most fundamental Key Level levels are (User can customize):
• Previous Week High & Low
• Previous Day High & Low
• Previous H4 High & Low
• Previous H1 High & Low
• Asia Killzone High & Low
• London Killzone High & Low
• New York Killzone High & Low
• Monday Range High & Low values
We will prefer SFP formations that occur when these levels are swept. When Key Levels are violated, an information label appears on the screen.
Blocks / Zones
To strengthen our hand, we will use three types of blocks/zones, either with Key Levels or separately. When an SFP structure is formed in these areas (along with bias and breakout confirmation), our expectation is for the price to continue in our desired direction. These regions are:
1. Mitigation Blocks (Mtg)
o (Details can be found in the cd_VWAP_mtg_Cx indicator)
o In short: A second candle, following a bullish candle, crosses its high but fails to close above it. We call this a sweep / SFP. When the price, which was expected to go to the low, instead makes a new high/close, an Mtg block is formed. (Buyers are dominant)
2. FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
o We use classic FVG structures.
3. Standard Deviation Projection Boxes
o When we get an SFP structure + breakout confirmation (CISD), we use the Standard Deviation Projection to determine our profit-taking and take-profit levels.
o Based on the idea that the price often respects the range between -2 and -2.5 of the projection values, we box this range and use it as our area of interest. (Our expectation is for the price to reverse after reaching this target).
o Let's mark it on the chart.
Confirmation
To summarize what has been explained so far: we look for the price to form an SFP structure in levels/zones we deem important, aligned with our bias, and for the breakout to be confirmed with a CISD.
No single component is strong on its own, but the success rate increases when they occur together.
We observe the following as additional confirmation along with the CISD: a new Mtg block forming in the direction of the breakout, high-volume movement (with FVG and a large body), and respect for VWAPs, the resistance/support line, and the defense block.
Additional Confirmations with Breakouts:
• Defence block, new mtg and VWAP
• Resistance / Support Line:
Indicator Signals
The indicator marks all formed sweeps, selected key levels, blocks, the projection, and CISD confirmations on the screen. The candle where the CISD confirmation occurs is indicated by an arrow.
• Arrows with double short lines signify a CISD that follows an SFP occurring at a Key Level.
• All other CISD candle indications are shown with single-line arrows.
Trade Management
When selecting profit targets in trades (preferably), the projection, opposing blocks, and structures that have formed are taken into account. Do not neglect to look at the structures that have formed against you when entering a trade.
Menu Settings:
• For Mtg blocks, the trading timeframe or a higher timeframe can be selected.
• FVGs formed in the current timeframe are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in "Fvg" option).
• Deviation boxes are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in box).
• The SAR HTF setting (H1) for scalp trades may vary depending on the pair. Users trying trades on higher timeframes should increase the HTF setting.
o Example: If you are looking for a trade with an SFP structure on H1, the SAR HTF setting should be H4 or higher.
• VWAP lines are refreshed starting from the candle that executed the sweep when the price forms an SFP. The only setting to adjust is the source selection setting (hlc3 is selected).
• Time frames and Killzone / Special Zone settings for Key Levels can be changed/should be checked.
Alarms / Alerts:
The conditions that will trigger an alert can be selected from the menu.
• To receive an alert aligned with the bias, the "Alignment with bias" checkbox must be selected.
• The alert should be set on the timeframe where you plan to enter the trade.
• The display options do not affect the alarm conditions. (Example: FVGs are monitored even when the menu selection is "off").
• If the necessary conditions are met, the alarm is triggered on the new candle that opens after the CISD confirmation.
• The alarm will not be triggered more than once at the same Key Level.
The user can preferably select alerts:
• Bias-aligned or Bias-independent
• Sweep (without waiting for CISD)
• Sweep + CISD (without looking for other conditions)
• Sweep + Key Level + CISD (the swept level is a Key Level)
• Sweep + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed in any of the blocks)
• Sweep + Mtg + CISD (SFP formed in the Mtg block)
• Sweep + Fvg + CISD (SFP formed inside the FVG)
• Sweep + Deviation Box + CISD (SFP formed inside the Dev. Box)
• Sweep + Key Level + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed simultaneously at a Key Level and any of the blocks)
Trade Example:
• Conditions: Bias-aligned + Sweep + Mtg/Fvg/Dev (at least one) + CISD
• Extra Confirmations: Respect for the Defense Block + Respect for VWAP
• Target (TP): Projection between -2 and -2.5
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions regarding my indicator, which I believe will be successful in the long run by adhering to uncompromising risk management and a strict trading plan.
Happy Trading!
VWAP Diario + VWAP 08:00-12:00 ventanas NYWhat it plots
Daily VWAP (main line)
Anchored to the current trading day and only visible between 19:00 and 16:50 New York (UTC-5) to prevent any “ghost” segments.
Dynamic color: turns green when price closes above (bullish bias) and red when price closes below (bearish bias).
Optional standard-deviation/percentage bands (off by default).
08:00–12:00 VWAP (morning line)
Resets at 08:00 NY and shows until 12:00 NY only.
Acts as a morning value guide for early direction and pullbacks.
Clean rendering: Both lines use strict time masks and line breaks, so nothing is drawn outside their windows. You can toggle either line on/off.
How to Read It
Daily VWAP ≈ “fair value” of the whole session; use it for directional bias and confluence.
08:00–12:00 VWAP ≈ “fair value” of the morning; helps refine entries during the open.
Alignment:
Bullish environment: price and 08–12 VWAP sit above the Daily VWAP.
Rotation/mixed: price oscillates between the two lines.
Bearish: price and 08–12 VWAP sit below the Daily VWAP.
Two Mechanical Playbooks
Recommended charts: 1-minute for entries, 5-minute for context on NQ/Nasdaq100.
Primary execution window: 09:30–12:00 NY.
A) Trend Play (Break → Pullback to VWAP)
Goal: Join the day’s impulse with value confirmation.
Rules
Bias filter before 09:30
Bullish: 08–12 VWAP ≥ Daily VWAP; Bearish: 08–12 ≤ Daily.
First push 09:30–09:45 breaks the initial range high (bull) or low (bear).
Entry (pullback into confluence)
Wait for a pullback that tags/wicks the 08–12 VWAP or the Daily VWAP in the direction of bias.
Go long on bullish rejection (close back above); short on bearish rejection.
Stop-loss
Beyond the rejection wick or the touched VWAP (e.g., 1–1.5× ATR(1m/5m)).
Take-profit
TP1 = 1R (scale 50%); TP2 = 2–3R or day extremes (HOD/LOD).
If bands are on, consider exiting on a clean tag of the opposite band.
Management
Move to breakeven at 1R; exit early if price reclaims the opposite side of Daily VWAP.
Avoid when the morning is choppy and price sits glued between the two VWAPs.
B) Mean-Reversion Play (Controlled Reversal at Daily VWAP)
Goal: Capture a return to value after an overstretch and a clean rejection.
Rules
Stretch condition
Fast move away from Daily VWAP (3–5 bars) or beyond Band #1/#2 if enabled.
Rejection signal at Daily VWAP
A bar that touches Daily VWAP and closes back on the opposite side (pin/engulfing/strong close).
Entry
Long if a selloff rejects above Daily VWAP.
Short if a rally rejects below Daily VWAP.
Stop-loss
Just beyond the rejection wick or ~1× ATR(1m).
Take-profit
TP1 = 1R or the 08–12 VWAP; TP2 = 2–3R or a prior consolidation.
Management
If price crosses and holds on the other side of Daily VWAP (2 closes), cut the idea.
Avoid during high-impact news or when the session is strongly trending (prefer Play A).
Quality Filters
Volatility: Ensure ATR(14, 1m) or the 09:30–09:45 range exceeds your minimum.
Spread/liquidity: Skip abnormal spreads at the open.
News: If a red-level release is imminent, wait 2–3 bars after the print.
Coherence: Prefer trades when 08–12 and Daily VWAP don’t conflict.
Risk & Trade Management
Risk per trade: 0.25%–0.5% account risk.
Daily cap: 2–3 trades; stop for the day at –1R to –1.5R.
No over-reentry: Don’t chase if price is sitting exactly on a VWAP; wait for separation.
Log your metrics: setup type (A/B), confluences, distance to VWAP at trigger, time, R multiple.
Quick Pre-Trade Checklist
Bias aligned? (price vs Daily and 08–12 VWAP)
Choose Trend or Mean-Reversion play
Clear confluence at the VWAP line?
Realistic stop (≤ ~1.5× ATR 1m)?
Any imminent news?
TP plan: TP1 = 1R → BE, TP2 = 2–3R.

ETH Short-Term VWAP+EMA/RSI (ATR Risk, <1h) (James Logan)ETH Short-Term VWAP + EMA / RSI Strategy (ATR-based Risk Control)
A short-term (< 1 hour) ETH trading system designed for intraday scalps and momentum swings on 5- to 15-minute charts.
It blends trend confirmation (EMA 50 / 200) with intrabar structure (EMA 21 pullback & VWAP filter) and RSI momentum triggers, managing exits dynamically through ATR-based stop, take-profit, and trailing stop targets.
Core logic
• Long when RSI crosses above the threshold within an up-trend (EMA 50 > EMA 200) and price is above VWAP.
• Short when RSI crosses below threshold within a down-trend (EMA 50 < EMA 200) and price is below VWAP.
• Optional pullback confirmation to the 21-EMA for cleaner entries.
• Risk defined by ATR-multiples for stop-loss, take-profit, and an adaptive trailing stop.
• Automatic flat-out exit after a set number of bars (time-based close).
Best use
• 5 min – 15 min ETH/USDT charts (Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, etc.)
• Works with both spot and perpetual data.
• Tune ATR and RSI thresholds per venue; defaults are balanced for 0.05 % per-side fees.
Key parameters
• ATR SL × 1.6 ATR TP × 2.2 ATR Trail × 2.0
• RSI 50 cross | EMA 50/200 trend filter | VWAP confirmation
• Default position sizing = USD-based (e.g. $1 000 per trade).
Notes
• All orders and exits are simulated at bar close; use 1-minute bar magnifier for finer fill modeling.
• No repainting—uses only confirmed bar data.
• Best validated with ≥ 200 trades and profit factor > 1.25 over multi-month backtests.

istance).
📊 On-Chart Visuals
Detailed Labels: A box appears on the entry bar showing the action, SL/TP prices, Risk/Reward in Pips, and the exact R:R ratio.
Horizontal Lines: Dashed lines display the calculated SL (Red) and TP (Green) levels while the trade is active.
Background: The chart background is shaded to highlight the active London and New York tradi
ng sessions.
Confirmed Momentum QQQ (RSI/MACD Filter)Gemini and Myself,
How This Targets a Higher Win Rate
The key to the win rate increase is the RSI 20/80 filter.
Long Signal: A long entry is now only taken if the trend is up (SMA cross), the MACD is bullish, and the RSI is not overbought (below 80). By only entering when momentum is not yet exhausted, you increase the chance that the price can travel far enough to hit your 4.0 point Take Profit.
Wider SL: The wider Stop Loss of 2.5 points reduces the chance of being stopped out prematurely by routine market movements (whipsaws), which is the number one killer of win rates in high-frequency trading.
After applying these changes, you will need to run the Strategy Tester again to see the new win rate and the new total number of trades.
Would you like me to help you interpret the new Strategy Tester results once you apply these settings?

• Signals are NOT repainting after pivot confirmation
• Not a "holy grail" - combine with other analysis and proper risk management
• Requires patience - quality setups are infrequent but high-probability
• Always backtest on historical data before live trading
ELLIOTT WAVE THEORY BACKGROUND
------------------------------
Elliott Wave Theory, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1930s, proposes that market prices move in predictable wave patterns driven by investor psychology. An impulse wave consists of five sub-waves (three in the trend direction, two corrections), followed by a three-wave correction. This indicator automates the identification of these patterns and validates them against Elliott's original rules.
DISCLAIMER
----------
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own analysis and never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. The indicator provides signals based on technical analysis patterns and does not constitute financial advice.

Victoria Overlay - HTF 200 + VWAP + ATR Stop + MA TrioConsolidated road to minions
Buy Setup:
EMA1 crosses above SMA3.
RSI confirms above 50.
Volume increasing (confirming momentum).
Candle closes above SMA1 base.
Sell Setup:
EMA1 crosses below SMA3.
RSI drops below 50 or exits overbought.
Volume confirms (declining or reversing).
Candle closes below SMA1 base.
Tips:
Think of EMA1 as the scalper’s trigger.
SMA3 is your momentum check.
SMA1 (base) = short-term bias.
Avoid entries during low-volume chop.
Use for day trades or tight scalps; exits happen fast.
Overlay (Smoothed Heikin Ashi + Swing + VWAP + ATR Stop + 200-SMA)
Purpose: Multi-layer trend confirmation + clean structure.
Type: Swing alignment tool.
🟩 BUY / CALL Conditions
Green “Buy (Gated)” arrow appears.
Price is above VWAP, above 200-SMA, and above ATR stop.
ATR stop (green line) sits under price → support confirmed.
Heikin-Ashi candles are green/lime.
Bias label says “Above VWAP | Above 200 | Swing Up”.
🟥 SELL / PUT Conditions
Red “Sell (Gated)” arrow appears.
Price is below VWAP, below 200-SMA, and below ATR stop.
ATR stop (red line) sits above price → resistance confirmed.
Heikin-Ashi candles are red.
Bias label says “Below VWAP | Below 200 | Swing Down”.
Exit / Risk Control:
Close position when price crosses ATR stop.
If Heikin candles flip color, momentum is reversing.
Best Use Cases:
For next-day or multi-hour swing entries.
Use ATR Stop for dynamic stop loss.
Stay out when the bias label is mixed (e.g. “Above VWAP | Below 200 | Swing Down”).
Pro Tip:
On big news days, let VWAP reset post-open before acting on arrows — filters fake signals.
RSI Panel Pro (v6)
Purpose: Strength + exhaustion confirmation.
Type: Momentum filter.
Key Levels:
Overbought: 80+ → take profits soon.
Oversold: 20– → watch for bounce setups.
Bull regime: RSI above 60 = momentum strong.
Bear regime: RSI below 40 = weakness.
Buy / Entry Signals:
RSI crosses up from below 40 or 20.
RSI line is above RSI-EMA (gray line).
Higher timeframe RSI (if used) is also rising.
Trim / Exit:
RSI drops under 60 after being strong.
RSI crosses below its EMA.
Sell / Put Setup:
RSI fails at 60 or drops below 40.
RSI crosses under EMA after a bounce.
Tips:
Pair RSI panel with Victoria Overlay — only take gated buys when RSI confirms.
RSI < 40 but above 20 = “loading zone” for reversals.
RSI > 70 = overextended → wait for confirmation before entering.
Combined Execution Rules
Goal What to Watch Action
Entry (CALL) EMA1 > SMA3, Buy (Gated) arrow, RSI rising > 50 Buy call / open long
Entry (PUT) EMA1 < SMA3, Sell (Gated) arrow, RSI < 50 Buy put / open short
Exit Early Price crosses ATR stop or RSI flips under EMA Exit trade / protect gains
Trend Filter VWAP + 200-SMA alignment Only trade in that direction
Avoid Trades Conflicting bias label or low volume Stay flat
Pro Tips
VWAP → Intraday mean: above = bullish control, below = bearish control.
ATR Stop → Dynamic trailing stop: never widen it manually.
Smoothed Heikin-Ashi → filters noise: trend stays until color flips twice.
RSI Panel → confirms whether to hold through pullbacks.
If RSI and Overlay disagree — wait, not trade.
Average Price Calculator / VisualizerDCA Average Price Calculator - Visualize Your Breakeven & TP!
Ever wished you could visualize your trades and instantly see your average entry price right here on TradingView? Especially if you're a DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) trader like me, tracking multiple entries can be a hassle. You're constantly switching to a spreadsheet or calculator to figure out your breakeven and take-profit levels. Well I've developed this DCA Average Price Calculator to solve exactly that problem, bringing all your position planning directly onto your chart.
What It Does
This indicator is a interactive tool designed to calculate the weighted average price of up to 10 separate trade entries. It then plots your crucial breakeven (average price) and a customizable take-profit target directly on your chart, giving you a clear visual of your position.
Key Features
Up to 10 Order Entries: Plan complex DCA strategies with support for up to ten individual buys.
Flexible Size Input: Enter your position size in either USD Amount or Number of Shares/Contracts. The script is smart enough to know which one you're using.
Instant Average Price Calculation: Your weighted average price (your breakeven point) is calculated and plotted in real-time as a clean yellow line.
Customizable Take-Profit Target: Set your desired profit percentage and see your take-profit level instantly plotted as a green line.
Detailed On-Chart Labels: Each order you plot is marked with a detailed label showing the entry price, the number of shares purchased, and the total USD value of that entry.
Clean & Uncluttered UI: The main Average and TP labels are intelligently shifted to the right, ensuring they don't overlap with your entry markers, keeping your chart readable.
How to Use It - Simple Steps
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the script's 'Settings' menu.
In the 'Take Profit' section, set your desired profit percentage (e.g., 1 for 1%).
Under the 'Orders' section, begin filling in your entries. For each 'Order #', enter the Price.
Next, enter the size. You can either fill in the 'Size (USD)' box OR the '/ Shares' box. Leave the one you're not using at 0.
As you add orders, the 'Avg' (yellow) and 'TP' (green) lines, along with the blue order labels, will automatically appear and adjust on your chart!
Who Is This For?
DCA Traders: This is the ultimate tool for you!
Position Traders: Keep track of scaling into a larger position over time.
Manual Backtesters: Quickly simulate and visualize how a series of buys would have played out.
Any Trader who wants a quick and easy way to calculate their average entry without leaving TradingView.
I built this tool to improve my own trading workflow, and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me. If you find it useful, please consider giving it a 'Like' and feel free to leave any feedback or suggestions in the comments!

BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
• Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
• Default demo. SPY on daily
• Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
• Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
• Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
• Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
• Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
• ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
• Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
• Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
• Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
• Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
• Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
• Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
• While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
• IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
• Markers for Long and Short setups
• Exit markers from ATR or time rules
• Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
• Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction optional. Flips long and short
Logic
• BB Length. Typical 10 to 50. Higher smooths more
• BB Mult. Typical 1.0 to 2.5. Higher widens entries
• EMA Length long. Typical 10 to 50
• EMA Length short. Typical 5 to 30
• ADX Minimum for short. Typical 15 to 35
Filters
• Regime Type. none or trend or mean reversion
• Rank Lookback. Typical 100 to 300
• Basis Slope Length and Threshold. Larger values reduce false trends
Risk
• ATR Length. Typical 10 to 21
• ATR Stop Mult. Typical 1.0 to 3.0
• ATR Take Profit Mult. Typical 2.0 to 5.0
• Breakeven Trigger R. Move stop to entry after the chosen multiple
• Time Exit. Minimum bars and extension when profit exceeds a fraction of ATR
Bias and rearm
• Bias flips kept. Array depth
• Keep rearm when flat. Maintain a pending order while flat
UI
• Show markers and levels. Clean defaults
Usage recipes
Alerts update in real time and can change while the bar forms. Select on bar close for conservative workflows.

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Costs and fills vary by venue. Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close. Strategies use standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact releases and thin liquidity can break assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may require larger ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast in the mean reversion signal. If stop and target can both be touched inside one bar, outcome follows the TradingView order model for that bar path.
Regimes with extreme one sided trend and very low volatility can reduce mean reversion edges. Results vary by symbol and venue. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Backtest realism
Costs are realistic for liquid equities. Sizing does not exceed five percent per trade by default. Any departure should be justified by the user.

ATR SL/TP Precision Zones (Dots)ATR SL/TP Precision Zones (Dots) is a volatility-based tool designed to help traders set accurate Stop Loss and Take Profit levels based on real market volatility — not fixed pips or emotion.
This indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by 1.2 to calculate dynamic distance bands.
Instead of drawing a ribbon or channel, it places simple dots above and below each candle:
Upper Dot (Green) → Suggested Take Profit / Price Stretch Zone
Lower Dot (Red) → Suggested Stop Loss Cushion / Support Expansion Zone
Because ATR measures market volatility, these dots expand during high volatility and tighten during slow markets, helping traders avoid stop-loss hunts and premature exits.
Why This Works
Most traders lose because:
They set SL too close → stopped out by noise
They set TP too far → price never reaches it
This tool calibrates those distances automatically based on real price movement behavior.
ATR = volatility
Volatility = market breathing room
This indicator ensures your trade has room to breathe, increasing win consistency.
Best Use Cases
Scalping
Swing trading
Trend continuation entries
Reversal confirmations with support/resistance
Works on Crypto / Forex / Stocks / Futures
PSAR with ATR Trailing Stop + SMA Filter📈 Strategy Overview: PSAR + 6×ATR Trailing Stop with SMA Filter
This strategy is built around the principle of “Cut the losers, let the winners run” — a disciplined, trend-following approach that combines the Parabolic SAR indicator with dynamic risk management and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter.
🔍 Strategy Logic
Trend Filter Trades are only taken in the direction of the prevailing trend, defined by a user-selected SMA (default: 100).
✅ Long trades only when price is above the SMA
✅ Short trades only when price is below the SMA
Entry Signal: A trade is triggered when the Parabolic SAR flips to the opposite side of the price bars, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Stop Loss: The stop loss is dynamically set at 6×ATR from the entry price. This adapts to market volatility and is recalculated every bar — effectively acting as a trailing stop.
Exit Logic: There is no fixed take profit. The trade remains open until the trailing stop is hit — allowing winners to run and losers to be cut quickly.
Risk Management: Each trade risks 0.5% of total equity, ensuring consistent position sizing and capital preservation.
📊 Visual Elements
PSAR dots mark trend direction changes
SMA line shows the broader trend filter
Trailing stop crosses (with 50% opacity) indicate the current stop level without cluttering the chart
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
PSAR parameters: Start, Increment, Maximum

TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1×ATR, TP = 2×ATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.
---
## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensible—both for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.
NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
• Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
• Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
• Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
• Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
• Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
• Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
• VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
• Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
• Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
• Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
• Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
• Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
• Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
• Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
• Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
• Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
• VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
• VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
• Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital one hundred thousand USD
• Base currency USD
• request.security uses lookahead off
• Commission cash per contract two point five $ per each contract. Slippage one tick
• Default order size method FIXED with value one contract. Pyramiding zero. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier OFF. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick ON
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
• Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
• Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
• Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.

ADX Color Change by BehemothI find this tool to be the most valuable and accurate entry point indicator along with moving averages and the VWAP.
ADX Color Indicator - Controls & Intraday Trading Benefits
Indicator Controls:
1. ADX Length (default: 14)
- Controls the calculation period for ADX
- Lower values (7-10) = more sensitive, faster signals (better for scalping)
- Higher values (14-20) = smoother, fewer false signals (better for swing trades)
- *Intraday tip:* Try 10-14 for most intraday timeframes
2. Show Threshold Levels (default: On)
- Displays the 20 and 25 horizontal lines
- Helps you quickly identify when ADX crosses key strength levels
3. Use Custom Timeframe (default: Off)
- Allows viewing higher timeframe ADX on lower timeframe charts
- *Example:* Trade on 5-min chart but see 15-min or 1-hour ADX
4. Custom Timeframe
- Select any timeframe: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, D, etc.
- *Intraday tip:* Use 15m or 1H ADX on 5m charts for better trend context
5. Show +DI and -DI (default: Off)
- Shows directional movement indicators
- Green line (+DI) > Red line (-DI) = bullish trend
- Red line (-DI) > Green line (+DI) = bearish trend
6. Show Background Zon es (default: Off)
- Visual background colors for quick trend strength identification
- Green = strong trend (ADX > 25)
- Yellow = moderate trend (ADX 20-25)
Intraday Trading Benefits:
1. Avoid Choppy Markets
- When ADX < 20 (no background color), market is ranging
- Reduces false breakout trades and whipsaws
- Save time and capital by stepping aside during low-quality setups
2. Identify High-Probability Trend Trades
- **Green line + Green zone** = strong trend building, look for pullback entries
- Yellow line crossing above 20 = early trend formation signal
- Catch trends early when ADX starts rising from below 20
3. Multi-Timeframe Analysis
- Use custom timeframe to align with higher timeframe trends
- *Example:* If 1H ADX shows green (strong trend), take breakout trades on 5m chart in same direction
- Increases win rate by trading with the bigger picture
4. Exit Signals
- When ADX turns red (falling), trend is weakening
- Consider tightening stops or taking profits
- Avoid entering new positions when ADX is declining
5. Quick Visual Confirmation
- Color coding eliminates need to analyze numbers
- Instant recognition: Green = go, Yellow = caution, Red = trend dying
- Faster decision-making during fast market moves
6. Scalping Strategy
- Set ADX length to 7-10 for sensitive signals
- Only scalp when ADX is rising (blue, yellow, or green)
- Exit when ADX turns red
7. Breakout Confirmation
- Wait for ADX to rise above 20 after a breakout
- Filters false breakouts in ranging markets
- Yellow or green color confirms momentum behind the move
Optimal Intraday Settings:
- Day Trading (5-15 min charts):** ADX Length = 10-14
- Scalping (1-5 min charts):** ADX Length = 7-10, watch custom 15m timeframe
- Swing Intraday (30min-1H charts):** ADX Length = 14-20
Simple Trading Rules:
✅ Trade: ADX rising + above 20 (yellow or green)
⚠️ Caution: ADX flat or just crossed 20
❌ Avoid:*ADX falling (red) or below 20
The key advantage is staying out of low-quality, choppy price action which is where most intraday traders lose money!
