Continuation Suite v1 — 5m/15mContinuation Suite v1 — 5m/15m (Non-Repainting, S/R + Trend Continuation)
What it does
Continuation Suite v1 is a practical intraday toolkit that combines non-repainting trend-continuation signals with auto-built Support/Resistance (S/R) from confirmed pivots. It’s designed for fast, liquid names on 5m charts with an optional 15m higher-timeframe (HTF) overlay. You get: stacked-EMA bias, disciplined pullback+reclaim entries, optional volume/volatility gates, a “Strong” signal tier, solid S/R lines or zones, and a compact dashboard for fast reads.
⸻
Why traders use it
• Clear bias using fast/mid/slow EMA stacking.
• Actionable entries that require a pullback, a reclaim, and (optionally) a minor break of prior extremes.
• Signal quality gates (volume vs SMA, ATR%, ADX/DI alignment, EMA spacing, slope).
• Non-repainting logic when “Confirm on Close” = ON. Intrabar previews show what’s forming, but confirmed signals only print on bar close.
• S/R that matters: confirmed-pivot lines or ATR-sized zones, optional HTF overlay, and auto de-dup to avoid clutter.
⸻
Signal construction (no magic, just rules)
Bullish continuation (base):
1. Trend: EMA fast > EMA mid > EMA slow
2. Pullback: price pulls into the stack (lowest low or close vs EMA fast/mid over a lookback)
3. Reclaim: close > EMA fast and close > open
4. Break filter (optional): current bar takes out the prior bar’s high
5. Filters: volume > SMA (if enabled) and ATR% ≤ max (if enabled)
6. Cooldown: a minimum bar gap between signals
Bearish continuation (base): mirror of the above.
Strong signals: base conditions plus ADX ≥ threshold, DI alignment (DI+>DI- for longs; DI->DI+ for shorts), minimum EMA-spacing %, and minimum fast-EMA slope.
Reference stops:
• Longs: lowest low over the pullback lookback
• Shorts: highest high over the pullback lookback
Alerts are included for: Bullish Continuation, Bearish Continuation, STRONG Bullish, STRONG Bearish.
⸻
S/R engine (current TF + optional HTF)
• Builds S/R from confirmed pivots only (left/right bars).
• Choose Lines (midlines) or Zones (ATR-sized).
• Zones merge when a new pivot lands near an existing zone’s mid (ATR-scaled epsilon).
• Touches counter tracks significance; you can require a minimum to draw.
• HTF overlay (default 15m) draws separate lines/zones with tiny TF tags on the right.
• De-dup option hides current-TF zones that sit too close to HTF zones (ATR-scaled), reducing overlap.
• Freeze on Close (optional) keeps arrays stable intrabar; snapshots show levels immediately as bars open.
⸻
Presets
• Auto: Detects QQQ-like tickers (QQQ, QLD, QID) or SoFi; else defaults to Custom.
• QQQ: Tighter ATR% and EMA settings geared to index-ETF behavior.
• SoFi: Wider ATR allowances and longer mid/slow for single-name behavior.
• Custom: Expose all key inputs to tune for your product.
⸻
Dashboard (top-right)
• Preset in use
• Bias (Bullish CONT / Bearish CONT / Neutral)
• Strong (Yes/No)
• Volatility (ATR% bucket)
• Trend (ADX bucket)
• HTF timeframe tag
• Volume (bucket or “off”)
• Signals mode (Close-Confirmed vs Intrabar)
⸻
Inputs you’ll actually adjust
Trend/Signals
• Fast/Mid/Slow EMA lengths
• Pullback lookback, Min bars between signals
• Volume filter (vol > SMA N)
• ATR% max filter (cap excessive volatility)
• Require break of prior bar’s high/low
• “Strong” gates: min EMA slope, min EMA spacing %, ADX length & threshold
Support/Resistance
• Lines vs Zones
• Pivot left/right bars
• Extend left/right (bars)
• Max pivots kept (current & HTF)
• Zone width (× ATR), Merge epsilon (× ATR), Min gap (× ATR)
• Min touches, Max zones per side near price
• De-dup current TF vs HTF (× ATR)
Repainting control
• Confirm on Close: when ON, signals/SR finalize on bar close (non-repainting)
• Freeze on Close: freeze S/R intrabar with snapshot updates
• Show previews: translucent intrabar labels for what’s forming
⸻
How to use it (straightforward)
1. Load on 5-minute chart (baseline). Keep Confirm on Close ON if you hate repainting.
2. Use Bias + Strong + S/R context. If a long prints into HTF resistance, you have information.
3. Manage risk off the reference stop (pullback extreme). If ATR% reads “Great,” widen expectations; if “Poor,” size down or pass.
4. Alerts: wire the four alert types to your workflow.
⸻
Notes and constraints
• Designed for liquid symbols. Thin books and synthetic “volume” will degrade the volume gate.
• S/R is pivot-based. On very choppy tape, touch counts help. Increase min touches or switch to Lines to declutter.
• If your chart timeframe isn’t 5m, behavior changes because lengths are in bars, not minutes. Tune lengths accordingly.
⸻

Parabolic Short Criteria Parabolic Short Criteria
This indicator identifies overextended stocks that may be prime candidates for parabolic short setups, based on criteria by Bracco (@Braczyy on twitter/X) in his writeup "The Parabolic Short" (unchartedterritoryy.substack.com). One of the best in the game at Parabolic Short setups.
What It Measures:
The indicator calculates and displays metrics that quantify how overextended a stock is relative to key moving averages and its recent price action:
Distance Metrics:
ATR Extension above 50 SMA: Measures how many ATRs (Average True Range) the current price is above the 50-day Simple Moving Average. Higher values indicate extreme extension.
% Above 9/20/50/200 Moving Averages: Shows the percentage distance between current price and each key moving average level.
Momentum Metrics:
Consecutive Green Days: Counts how many days in a row the stock has closed higher
Consecutive Gap Ups: Tracks sequential gap-up openings (today's low > yesterday's high)
Range Expansion: Analyzes how many of the last 4 days showed larger percentage moves than the prior day
Volume Expansion: Counts consecutive days of increasing volume
Color Coding System:
Each metric uses a 4-tier color system for quick visual assessment:
Dark Green: Extremely overextended (highest alert level)
Light Green: Significantly overextended
Yellow: Moderately overextended
Red: Not overextended
Use Case:
This indicator is designed for traders looking to identify parabolic moves that have reached unsustainable levels. When multiple metrics show dark green or green, the stock may be due for a pullback or reversal. Not all criteria are often met at once, but the more the better.
EMA Candle ColorEMA Candle Color - Visual EMA-Based Candle Coloring System
Overview:
This indicator provides a visual approach to trend identification by coloring candles based on their relationship with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The script dynamically colors both the candle bars and plots custom candles to give traders an immediate visual representation of price momentum relative to the EMA.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates an EMA based on your chosen source (default: open price) and length (default: 10 periods). It then applies a simple yet effective rule:
When the source price is ABOVE the EMA → Candles turn GREEN (bullish)
When the source price is BELOW the EMA → Candles turn RED (bearish)
This instant visual feedback helps traders quickly identify:
Current trend direction
Potential support/resistance levels (the EMA line itself)
Momentum shifts when candles change color
Key Features:
Customizable EMA Parameters: Adjust the EMA length (1-500) and source (open, close, high, low, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4)
Custom Color Selection: Choose your preferred bullish and bearish colors to match your chart theme
Dual Visualization: Both bar coloring and custom plotcandle for enhanced visibility
Offset Capability: Shift the EMA line forward or backward for advanced analysis
Clean Design: Minimal overlay that doesn't clutter your chart
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust the EMA Length based on your trading timeframe:
- Shorter periods (5-20) for day trading and scalping
- Medium periods (20-50) for swing trading
- Longer periods (50-200) for position trading
3. Watch for candle color changes as potential entry/exit signals
4. Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Trading Applications:
Trend Following: Stay in trades while candles remain the same color
Reversal Signals: Watch for color changes as early reversal warnings
Filter System: Only take long positions during green candles, shorts during red
Visual Clarity: Quickly assess market sentiment at a glance
Settings:
Length: EMA calculation period (default: 10)
Source: Price data used for EMA calculation (default: open)
Offset: Shift EMA line on chart (default: 0)
Bullish Color: Color for candles above EMA (default: green)
Bearish Color: Color for candles below EMA (default: red)
Technical Details:
The script uses Pine Script v6 and employs the standard ta.ema() function for smooth, responsive EMA calculations. The candle coloring is achieved through both barcolor() and plotcandle() functions, ensuring visibility across different chart settings.
Note:
This indicator works on all timeframes and instruments. For best results, combine with proper risk management and additional confirmation indicators. The EMA Candle Color system is designed to simplify trend identification, not as a standalone trading system.
Tips:
Use on higher timeframes for more reliable signals
Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
Consider using multiple EMA periods for confluence
Disable default candles if using the plotcandle feature to avoid overlap
This script is open-source. Feel free to use it as a foundation for your own trading system or modify it to suit your specific trading style.

EMA 9, 21 & 50 Indicator with Floating Labels🟢 EMA 9, 21 & 50 Indicator with Floating Labels
📘 Overview
This indicator plots three exponential moving averages (EMAs) to visualize short-, medium-, and longer-term trend structure on any timeframe:
EMA 9 – Bright Green (short-term momentum)
EMA 21 – Bright Yellow (medium-term trend)
EMA 50 – Red (broader trend confirmation)
Each EMA has a floating label on the right edge of the chart, so line identities remain visible as new candles form.
🪶 Features
Clear, fixed colors for easy recognition (Green 9 / Yellow 21 / Red 50)
Floating labels that stay visible off the right edge
Clean overlay compatible with any chart style
Lightweight and fast to render
📈 How to Use
Trend Filter:
Price above 21 & 50 → bullish bias; look for long setups or pullbacks toward the 9/21.
Price below 21 & 50 → bearish bias; look for short setups or rallies into 9/21.
Momentum vs. Structure:
9 EMA = momentum guide for quick swings.
21 EMA = primary trend line for swing entries/exits.
50 EMA = confirmation of broader direction.
🔧 Tips
Analyze trend on Daily or 4H; fine-tune entries on 1H/15m near the 9 or 21 EMA.
Pair with volume or RSI/MACD for extra confirmation at EMA touches/crosses.
Dual EMA Trend Ribbon (Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmation) Dual EMA Trend Ribbon (Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmation)
This Pine Script indicator creates a visually clear representation of trend direction using two overlaid Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbons, which allows traders to assess both short-term and medium-term momentum at a glance.
How It Works:
The indicator plots two separate EMA ribbons, each calculated using a distinct set of periods, simulating a multi-timeframe approach on a single chart:
Inner (Fast) Ribbon (Defaults 10/30): Represents the fast-moving, short-term trend.
Green: Fast EMA 1 > Slow EMA 1 (Short-term Bullish)
Red: Fast EMA 1 < Slow EMA 1 (Short-term Bearish)
Outer (Slow) Ribbon (Defaults 40/50): Represents the slower, medium-term trend.
Darker Green/Red: Indicates the overall, underlying market bias.
How to Use:
Strong Trend Confirmation: A strong signal occurs when both ribbons are aligned (e.g., both are Green). This suggests that short-term momentum aligns with the medium-term bias.
Trend Weakness/Reversal: Pay attention when the two ribbons cross or when the fast ribbon changes color against the slow ribbon's color (e.g., fast ribbon turns Red while the slow ribbon remains Green). This often signals a temporary pullback or potential reversal of the underlying trend.
Settings: Users can easily adjust the four input periods (Fast EMA 1, Slow EMA 1, Fast EMA 2, Slow EMA 2) to customize the sensitivity to any trading style or asset.

Daily/Weekly EMAs on Lower TimeframesThis indicator allows traders to view Daily and Weekly EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) directly on lower timeframes such as 1m, 5m, 15m, or 1h charts — providing a higher timeframe perspective without switching charts.
The script includes individual checkboxes for each EMA length — 5, 8, 9, 21, 50, and 200 — organized into two clear sections:
🟢 Daily EMAs
🔵 Weekly EMAs
You can selectively enable or disable any EMA to match your trading style and reduce chart clutter.
Each EMA is color-coded for clarity and consistency:
5 EMA: Green
8 EMA: Blue
9 EMA: Blue
21 EMA: Orange
50 EMA: Purple
200 EMA: Red
Weekly EMAs appear slightly transparent to distinguish them from daily ones.
This makes it easy to visualize higher timeframe trend direction, confluence zones, and dynamic support/resistance levels while trading intraday.
💡 Key Features

Moving Average Ribbon AZlyMoving Average Ribbon AZly
The Moving Average Ribbon AZly is a flexible trend-following indicator that visualizes market direction, strength, and transition phases using multiple customizable moving averages. It helps traders instantly identify when short-, medium-, and long-term trends align or diverge.
🔧 How it works
Up to six moving averages can be plotted, each with its own:
Type (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA)
Length, color, and width
Custom source input
The script also adds adaptive color fills between key pairs:
MA1–MA2: short-term momentum
MA4–MA5: mid-term bias
MA5–MA6: long-term trend
Bullish alignment paints green or blue ribbons, while bearish alignment turns them red or pink. The wider the ribbon, the stronger the trend separation.
💡 Why it’s better
Unlike typical ribbon indicators, this version offers full per-line customization, adaptive color fills, and a clean, high-contrast design that makes trend shifts instantly recognizable . It’s optimized for clarity, flexibility, and smooth performance on any market or timeframe.
🎯 Trading ideas
Trend confirmation: Trade only in the direction of the ribbon (green for long, red for short).
Early reversals: Watch for the fastest MAs (MA1–MA2) crossing the mid-term pair (MA4–MA5) as early signals of a trend shift.
Momentum compression: When the ribbon narrows or colors alternate rapidly, it signals consolidation or potential breakout zones.
Pullback entries: Enter trades when price bounces off the outer ribbon layer in the direction of the dominant trend.
Multi-timeframe use: Combine with a higher timeframe ribbon to confirm overall market bias.
📊 Recommended use
Works on all markets and timeframes. Ideal for trend-following, swing trading, and visual confirmation of price structure.
EMA Trend Buy sell strategyThis strategy is built to help investors get into a trend safely and smartly — without rushing and without getting in and out too often.
When to Buy:
First Signal – Small Step In (50% Buy)
When the short-term trend (EMA 18) turns positive and goes above the medium trend (EMA 33),
👉 we buy half of our planned position.
This is an early warning that a new upward trend might be starting.
Second Signal – Full Confidence (Buy other 50%)
If the medium-term trend (EMA 33) also crosses above the long-term (EMA 50),
👉 we buy the other half of the position.
Now we’re more confident that the trend is real.
When to Sell:
First Warning – Reduce Position (Sell 50%)
If EMA 33 falls below EMA 50,
👉 we sell half of the position to reduce risk.
Trend Reversal – Exit Completely (Sell the rest)
If EMA 18 also falls below EMA 33,
👉 we sell the remaining half and leave the trade fully.
Why This Strategy?
📉 We don’t jump in all at once.
→ We wait for confirmation before going full in.
⏳ We stay in the trade as long as the trend is healthy.
→ No overtrading or reacting to small moves.
📊 We get out slowly, not suddenly.
→ This helps protect profits and avoid emotional decisions.

FirstStrike Long 200 - Daily Trend Rider [KedArc Quant]Strategy Description
FirstStrike Long 200 is a disciplined, long-only momentum strategy designed for daily "strike-first" entries in trending markets. It scans for RSI momentum above a customizable trigger (default 50), confirmed by EMA trend filters, and limits you to *exactly one trade per day* to avoid overtrading. It uses ATR for dynamic risk management (1.5x stop, 2:1 RR target) and optional trailing stops to ride winners. Backtested with realistic commissions and sizing, it prioritizes low drawdowns (<1% max in tests) over aggressive gains—ideal for swing traders seeking quality setups in bull runs.
Why It's Different from Other Strategies
Unlike generic RSI crossover bots or EMA ribbon mashups that spam signals and bleed in chop, FirstStrike enforces a "one-and-done" daily gate, blending precision momentum (RSI modes with grace/sustain) with robust filters (volume, sessions, rearm dips).
How It Helps Traders
- Reduces Emotional Trading: One entry/day forces discipline—miss a setup? Wait for tomorrow. Perfect for busy pros avoiding screen fatigue.
- Adapts to Regimes: Switch modes for trends ("Cross+Grace") vs. ranges ("Any bar")—boosts win rates 5-10% in backtests on high-beta names like .
- Risk-First Design: ATR scales stops to vol capping DD at 0.2% while targeting 2R winners. Trailing option locks +3-5% runs without early exits.
- Quick Insights: Labels/alerts flag entries with RSI values; bgcolor highlights signals for visual scanning. Helps spot "first-strike" edges in uptrends, filtering ~60% noise.
Why This Is Not a Mashup
This isn't a Frankenstein of off-the-shelf indicators—while it uses standard RSI/EMA/ATR (core Pine primitives), the innovation lies in:
- Custom Trigger Engine: Switchable modes (e.g., "Cross+Grace+Sustain" requires post-cross hold) prevent perpetual signals, unlike basic `ta.crossover()`.
- Daily Rearm Gate: Resets eligibility only after a dip (if enabled), tying momentum to mean-reversion—original logic not found in common scripts.
- Per-Day Isolation: `var` vars + `ta.change(time("D"))` ensure zero pyramiding/overlaps, beyond simple session filters.
All formulae are derived in-house for "first-strike" (early RSI pops in trends), not copied from public repos.
Input Configurations
Let's break down every input in the FirstStrike Long 200 strategy. These settings let you tweak the strategy like a dashboard—start with defaults for quick testing,
then adjust based on your asset or timeframe (5m for intraday). They're grouped logically to keep things organized, and most have tooltips in the script for quick reminders.
RSI / Trigger Group: The Heart of Momentum Detection
This is where the magic starts—the strategy hunts for "upward energy" using RSI (Relative Strength Index), a tool that measures if a stock is overbought (too hot) or oversold (too cold) on a 0-100 scale.
- RSI Length: How many bars (candles) back to calculate RSI. Default is 14, like a 14-day window for daily charts. Shorter (e.g., 9) makes it snappier for fast markets; longer (21) smooths out noise but misses quick turns.
- Trigger Level (RSI >= this): The key RSI value where the strategy says, "Go time!" Default 50 means enter when RSI crosses or holds above the neutral midline. Why is this trigger required? It acts as your "green light" filter—without it, you'd enter on every tiny price wiggle, leading to endless losers. RSI above this shows building buyer power, avoiding weak or sideways moves. It's essential for quality over quantity, especially in one-trade-per-day setups.
- Trigger Mode: Picks how strict the RSI signal must be. Options: "Cross only" (exact RSI crossover above trigger—super precise, fewer trades); "Cross+Grace" (crossover or within a grace window after—gives a second chance); "Cross+Grace+Sustain" (crossover/grace plus RSI holding steady for bars—best for steady climbs); "Any bar >= trigger" (looser, any bar above—more opportunities but riskier in chop). Start with "Any bar" for trends, switch to "Cross only" for caution.
- Grace Window (bars after cross): If mode allows, how many bars post-RSI-cross you can still enter if RSI dips but recovers. Default 30 (about 2.5 hours on 5m). Zero means no wiggle room—pure precision.
- Sustain Bars (RSI >= trigger): In sustain mode, how many straight bars RSI must stay above trigger. Default 3 ensures it's not a fluke spike.
- Require RSI Dip Below Rearm Before Any Entry?: A yes/no toggle. If on, the strategy "rearms" only after RSI dips below a low level (like a breather), preventing back-to-back signals in overextended rallies.
- Rearm Level (if requireDip=true): The dip threshold for rearming. Default 45—RSI must go below this to reset eligibility. Lower (30) for deeper pullbacks in volatile stocks.
For the trigger level itself, presets matter a lot—default 50 is neutral and versatile for broad trends. Bump to 55-60 for "strong momentum only" (fewer but higher-win trades, great in bull runs like tech surges); drop to 40-45 for "early bird" catches in recoveries (more signals but watch for fakes in ranges). The optimize hint (40-60) lets you test these in TradingView to match your risk—higher presets cut noise by 20-30% in backtests.
Trend / Filters Group: Keeping You on the Right Side of the Market
These EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) act like guardrails, ensuring you only long in uptrends.
- EMA (Fast) Confirmation: Short-term EMA for price action. Default 20 periods—price must be above this for "recent strength." Shorter (10) reacts faster to intraday pops.
- EMA (Trend Filter): Long-term EMA for big-picture trend. Default 200 (classic "above the 200-day" rule)—price above it confirms bull market. Minimum 50 to avoid over-smoothing.
Optional Hour Window Group: Timing Your Strikes
Avoid bad hours like lunch lulls or after-hours tricks.
- Restrict by Session?: Yes/no for using exact market hours. Default off.
- Session (e.g., 0930-1600 for NYSE): Time string like "0930-1600" for open to close. Auto-skips pre/post-market noise.
- Restrict by Hour Range?: Fallback yes/no for simple hours. Default off.
- Start Hour / End Hour: Clock times (0-23). Defaults 9-15 ET—focus on peak volume.
Volume Filter Group: No Volume, No Party
Confirms conviction—big moves need big participation.
- Require Volume > SMA?: Yes/no toggle. Default off—only fires on above-average volume.
- Volume SMA Length: Periods for the average. Default 20—compares current bar to recent norm.
Risk / Exits Group: Protecting and Profiting Smartly
Dynamic stops based on volatility (ATR = Average True Range) keep things realistic.
- ATR Length: Bars for ATR calc. Default 14—measures recent "wiggle room" in price.
- ATR Stop Multiplier: How far below entry for stop-loss. Default 1.5x ATR—gives breathing space without huge risk
- Take-Profit R Multiple: Reward target as multiple of risk. Default 2.0 (2:1 ratio)—aims for twice your stop distance.
- Use Trailing Stop?: Yes/no for profit-locking trail. Default off—activates after entry.
- Trailing ATR Multiplier: Trail distance. Default 2.0x ATR—looser than initial stop to let winners run.
These inputs make the strategy plug-and-play: Defaults work out-of-box for trending stocks, but tweak RSI trigger/modes first for your style.
Always backtest changes—small shifts can flip a 40% win rate to 50%+!
Outputs (Visuals & Alerts):
- Plots: Blue EMA200 (trend line), Orange EMA20 (price filter), Green dashed entry price.

Entry-Exit Logic
Entry (Long Only, One Per Day):
1. Daily Reset: New day clears trade gate and (if required) rearm status.
2. Filters Pass: Time/session OK + Close > EMA200 (trend) + Close > EMA20 (price) + Volume > SMA (if enabled) + Rearmed (dip below rearm if toggled).
3. Trigger Fires: RSI >= trigger via selected mode (e.g., crossover + grace window).
4. Execute: Enter long at close; set daily flag to block repeats.
Exit:
- Stop-Loss: Entry - (ATR * 1.5) – dynamic, vol-scaled.
- Take-Profit: Entry + (Risk * 2.0) – fixed RR.
- Trailing (Optional): Activates post-entry; trails at Close - (ATR * 2.0), updating on each bar for trend extension.
No shorts or hedging—pure long bias.
Formulae Used
- RSI: `ta.rsi(close, rsiLen)` – Standard 14-period momentum oscillator (0-100).
- EMAs: `ta.ema(close, len)` – Exponential moving averages for trend/price filters.
- ATR: `ta.atr(atrLen)` – True range average for stop sizing: Stop = Entry - (ATR * mult).
- Volume SMA: `ta.sma(volume, volLen)` – Simple average for relative strength filter.
- Grace Window: `bar_index - lastCrossBarIndex <= graceBars` – Counts bars since RSI crossover.
- Sustain: `ta.barssince(rsi < trigger) >= sustainBars` – Consecutive bars above threshold.
- Session Check: `time(timeframe.period, sessionStr) != 0` – TradingView's built-in session validator.
- Risk Distance: `riskPS = entry - stop; TP = entry + (riskPS * RR)` – Asymmetric reward calc.
FAQ
Q: Why only one trade/day?
A: Prevents revenge trading in volatile sessions . Backtests show it cuts losers by 20-30% vs. multi-entry bots.
Q: Does it work on all assets/timeframes?
A: Best for trending stocks/indices on 5m-1H. Test on crypto/forex with wider ATR mult (2.0+).
Q: How to optimize?
A: Use TradingView's optimizer on RSI trigger (40-60) and EMA fast (10-30). Aim for PF >1.0 over 1Y data.
Q: Alerts don't fire—why?
A: Ensure `alertcondition` is enabled in script settings. Test with "Any alert() function calls only."
Q: Trailing stop too loose?
A: Tune `trailMult` to 1.5 for tighter; it activates alongside fixed TP/SL for hybrid protection.
Glossary
- Grace Window: Post-RSI-cross period (bars) where entry still allowed if RSI holds trigger.
- Rearm Dip: Optional pullback below a low RSI level (e.g., 45) to "reset" eligibility after signals.
- Profit Factor (PF): Gross profit / gross loss—>1.0 means winners outweigh losers.
- R Multiple: Risk units (e.g., 2R = 2x stop distance as target).
- Sustain Bars: Consecutive bars RSI stays >= trigger for mode confirmation.
Recommendations
- Backtest First: Run on your symbols (/) over 6-12M; tweak RSI to 55 for +5% win rate.
- Live Use: Start paper trading with `useSession=true` and `useVol=true` to filter noise.
- Pairs Well With: Higher TF (daily) for bias; add ADX (>25) filter for strong trends (code snippet in prior chats).
- Risk Note: 10% sizing suits $100k+ accounts; scale down for smaller. Not financial advice—past performance ≠ future.
- Publish Tip: Add tags like "momentum," "RSI," "long-only" on TradingView for visibility.
