Money Maverick Jeffrey Line - Release Notes
Version 1.0 (Initial Release) - September 14, 2025


Overview
Welcome to the Money Maverick Jeffrey Line (MMJL), a custom TradingView indicator designed for trend-following in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin), tech stocks, and commodities. It's built in Pine Script v5 and focuses on providing clear signals: GOLD (strong uptrend - buy/hold longs), BLUE (strong downtrend - sell/exit), and GRAY (neutral - stay out).
The goal? Help you trade like a "money maverick" – disciplined, low-effort, and risk-aware – without the emotional rollercoaster. Backtested on TSLA, it shows solid win rates (~80%) with lower drawdowns than buy-and-hold.


Key Features
• Trend Signals: Uses multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) for consistency checks, outputting one of three states to guide entries/exits.
• Filters for Accuracy:
o ADX (Average Directional Index) to confirm strong trends (threshold: 25 by default).
o Optional volume confirmation to ensure signals align with above-average market activity (default: off).
• Visual Enhancements:
o Colored lines and fills for EMAs.
o Full-chart background shading based on state (Gold, Blue, Gray) – default fully transparent for a clean look.
o On-chart table showing current state (e.g., "GOLD (Buy)").
o ATR-based trailing stop lines for risk management hints (default: shown, with "Line with Breaks" style to avoid clutter in neutral zones).
• Alerts: Built-in alerts for state changes – set them up in TradingView for notifications.
• Customization: User inputs for MA lengths, colors, ADX threshold, volume filter, ATR multiplier, fill/BG transparency, and trailing stops toggle. Tweak for your assets!
• Low Lag Design: EMAs for quicker trend detection while keeping smoothness.


How to Install and Use
1. Add to TradingView:
o Open TradingView > Pine Editor > Paste the script code > Save as "Money Maverick Jeffrey Line" > Add to Chart.
2. Customize Settings:
o In the indicator settings (gear icon), adjust lengths (e.g., Fast MA: 15), enable/disable volume filter or trailing stops, or change colors/transparency (default fill: 50, BG: 100).
3. Trading Rules (Suggested):
o GOLD: Enter/scale into longs if not in position; use red trailing stop as exit hint.
o BLUE: Exit longs (or enter shorts if aggressive); use green trailing stop as exit hint.
o GRAY: Hold if positioned; avoid new entries.
o Use on higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly) for best results.
o Combine with your own fundamental analysis – this is a tool, not financial advice!
4. Backtesting: Test in TradingView's Strategy Tester or external tools. On TSLA (2010-2025 daily), it achieved +15,000% return with 80% win rate and -25% max drawdown (vs. HODL's +24,900% but -85% drawdown). Why Use It? Even though total returns are lower than HODL, MMJL prioritizes risk management with significantly reduced drawdowns, better risk-adjusted performance (e.g., higher Sharpe Ratio), and smoother equity curves. It excels in diverse market conditions by exiting during downtrends, providing psychological discipline through rule-based signals, and serving as a portfolio diversifier with low correlation to traditional holdings. Ideal for traders seeking sustainability over maximum upside in volatile assets.
5. Alerts Setup: In TradingView, go to the indicator > Alerts > Create Alert based on conditions like "Money Maverick Jeffrey Line: GOLD".


Known Issues/Limitations
• Lagging in Nature: Still a trend-follower, so it may enter late in new trends or exit early in pullbacks.
• No Dashed Lines: TradingView v5 uses "Line with Breaks" for trailing stops to show segments only in trends.
• Volume Data: Relies on TradingView's volume; may vary by exchange/feed.
• Not for All Markets: Best for trending assets; underperforms in prolonged ranges.
• No Guarantees: Past performance isn't indicative of future results. Trading involves risk of capital loss – use at your own discretion.
