MPA AI v4 Adaptive Volatility-Based Trend Strategy# 🔍 MPA AI v4 – Adaptive Volatility-Based Trend Strategy
> Invite-Only | Designed for 15m Crypto Perpetuals | Dynamic TP/SL | Real-Time Market Structure Engine
---
## 📘 What Is MPA AI v4?
**MPA AI v4** is an advanced invite-only strategy specifically designed for trading crypto perpetual futures on 15-minute charts. It intelligently adapts to market conditions in real-time using a blend of volatility measurements, structural logic, and multi-layered trend confirmation.
Unlike conventional static systems, MPA AI v dynamically reconfigures all its core parameters—including EMAs, ADX thresholds, SL/TP levels, and Fibonacci extensions—based on the current volatility regime. It is built for intraday traders who seek precision, control, and intelligent trade automation.
---
## ⚙️ Core Mechanics and Logic
MPA AI v4 is composed of several synchronized modules:
| Module | Role |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| EMA Short/Long | Dynamically determines trend direction and momentum |
| EMA Slope | Filters out weak or sideways markets |
| ADX (dynamic) | Confirms valid directional strength |
| Volatility Ratio | Drives regime switching for all key parameters |
| ATR + Fib Extension | Dual logic for conservative TP placement |
| Time-Based Exit | Ensures all trades close within 24 hours to limit exposure |
All modules respond to volatility conditions in real time, dynamically adjusting their thresholds, behavior, and interactions with one another on a per-candle basis. This ensures the strategy is not just adaptive in name, but functionally reactive to live market shifts—modifying entries, exits, risk profiles, and even filtering sensitivity as the volatility regime changes.
---
## 📊 Volatility Engine: Market Regime Classifier
The strategy classifies market volatility using the formula:
```pine
volatility = ta.atr(14) / ta.sma(ta.atr(14), 40)
```
This creates a dynamic ratio that segments market states into three regimes:
| Regime | Ratio Range | System Behavior |
| ---------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| High Vol | > 1.5 | Fast EMAs (5/20), wider SL (2.5%), aggressive Fib level (0.5), RR bias |
| Normal Vol | 0.8 - 1.5 | Balanced config (7/24 EMAs, SL \~2.0%, Fib level \~0.4) |
| Low Vol | < 0.8 | Slow EMAs (10/30), tighter SL, conservative TP via Fib (0.3) |
Each regime causes the system to adjust a wide array of parameters including risk thresholds, EMA lengths, ADX sensitivity, and even Fibonacci projection logic. In high volatility, the system prioritizes speed and broader stops, whereas in low volatility, it shifts to tighter risk controls and more conservative entry conditions. This ensures each trade setup is finely tuned to the prevailing market environment, minimizing false signals and optimizing profitability potential across regimes.
---
## 📊 Multi-Stage Trend Validation
Before entering a position, the strategy verifies three simultaneous conditions to ensure high-probability setups and avoid entries during noisy or uncertain price action:
### 1. EMA Alignment
* Price must cross above (or below) a volatility-adjusted short EMA
* Price must remain above (for long) or below (for short) the long EMA
* This ensures that both short-term and medium-term directional bias support the potential trade
### 2. EMA Slope
* Measured slope of the short EMA must exceed a minimum dynamic threshold that adjusts with volatility
* This condition removes false setups in sideways markets and prioritizes trades in trending phases
* The slope threshold itself is scaled relative to price movement and volatility level, making it flexible across market conditions
### 3. ADX Confirmation
* The ADX must be above a dynamic floor (ranging from 22 in low-volatility regimes to 55 in high-volatility)
* This confirms that the trend has sufficient directional energy to warrant an entry
* ADX filtering reduces the chance of entering during choppy, low-momentum phases
Only if **all three filters** are satisfied within the same candle context does the strategy allow a position to be opened. This conservative entry gating significantly reduces overtrading and increases signal reliability.
---
## 🌟 Entry and Exit Logic
| Signal Type | Conditions |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Long | Price > EMA short & long, EMA slope > threshold, ADX valid |
| Short | Price < EMA short & long, EMA slope < -threshold, ADX valid |
These entry signals are only triggered when all conditions are met simultaneously within the same candle context, ensuring trend alignment, directional bias, and strength confirmation are all present. This reduces the chance of entering on noise, fakeouts, or uncertain reversals. By requiring confirmation from price position, EMA angle, and trend strength (ADX), MPA AI v4 filters out low-conviction setups and ensures strategic capital deployment.
### TP Calculation:
* Computes **Fibonacci-based extension** from recent HH/LL range, reflecting structure-based potential
* Calculates **ATR-based projection** using live volatility to estimate expansion capacity
* Selects the more conservative value between the two to avoid overextending profit targets
* This dual-confirmation approach helps maintain a favorable reward/risk profile while avoiding unrealistic expectations
### SL Calculation:
* SL is determined as a volatility-adjusted percentage of entry price (ranging from 2.0% to 2.5%)
* The SL adapts in real-time based on the prevailing volatility regime to maintain proportional risk control
* This dynamic approach reduces overexposure during unpredictable phases
### 24-Hour Exit:
* Any trade left open for more than 24 hours is forcibly closed to avoid indefinite exposure
* A timeout label is plotted on the chart to show that a duration-based exit was executed
* This mechanism acts as a safety net against stagnating trades and unexpected market drift

## 🔒 Invite-Only Justification
MPA AI v4 incorporates:
* A real-time volatility modeling engine
* Adaptive EMA/ADX/Fib/ATR interaction
* Smart TP/SL pairing using multi-method projections
* Market structure targeting without repainting
* Controlled time-exposure logic with visual transparency
Unlike typical scripts that simply combine a few public indicators, this strategy constructs a responsive, modular system that recalibrates every major decision dynamically based on changing volatility. Each component—including entries, filters, and exits—communicates and adapts in real time, producing a system that behaves more like a trading engine than a fixed-rule indicator.
Furthermore, its dual TP projection system (Fibonacci + ATR) with volatility-governed decision logic adds sophistication that cannot be achieved by combining open-source tools. The structure-aware, time-limited exits paired with RR-labeled info overlays create a tool that is as visual and instructional as it is operational.
These combined features create an edge that cannot be reproduced via indicator mashups or templates.
Therefore, the Invite-Only model is appropriate and justified under TradingView’s Vendor rules.

Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
AltCoin Index Correlation🧠 AltCoin Index Correlation — Strategy Overview
AltCoin Index Correlation is a dynamic EMA-based trading strategy designed primarily for altcoins, but also adaptable to stocks and indices, thanks to its flexible reference index system.
🧭 Strategy Philosophy
The core idea behind this strategy is simple yet powerful:
Price action becomes more meaningful when it aligns with broader market context.
This script analyzes the correlation between the asset’s trend and a reference index trend, using dual EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossovers for both.
When both the altcoin and the reference index (e.g. Altcoin Dominance, BTC Dominance, Total Market Cap, or even indices like the NASDAQ 100 or S&P 500) are aligned in trend direction, the script considers it a high-confidence setup.
It also includes:
Optional inverse correlation logic (for contrarian setups)
Custom leverage settings (e.g., 1x, 1.8x, etc.)
A dynamic scale-out mechanism during weakening trends
Date filtering for controlled backtests
A live performance dashboard with equity, PnL, win rate, drawdown, APR, and more

**🎯 Trade Smarter, Not Harder!**
Why EMA Isn't What You Think It IsMany new traders adopt the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) believing it's simply a "better Simple Moving Average (SMA)". This common misconception leads to fundamental misunderstandings about how EMA works and when to use it.
EMA and SMA differ at their core. SMA use a window of finite number of data points, giving equal weight to each data point in the calculation period. This makes SMA a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter in signal processing terms. Remember that FIR means that "all that we need is the 'period' number of data points" to calculate the filter value. Anything beyond the given period is not relevant to FIR filters – much like how a security camera with 14-day storage automatically overwrites older footage, making last month's activity completely invisible regardless of how important it might have been.
EMA, however, is an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter. It uses ALL historical data, with each past price having a diminishing - but never zero - influence on the calculated value. This creates an EMA response that extends infinitely into the past—not just for the last N periods. IIR filters cannot be precise if we give them only a 'period' number of data to work on - they will be off-target significantly due to lack of context, like trying to understand Game of Thrones by watching only the final season and wondering why everyone's so upset about that dragon lady going full pyromaniac.
If we only consider a number of data points equal to the EMA's period, we are capturing no more than 86.5% of the total weight of the EMA calculation. Relying on he period window alone (the warm-up period) will provide only 1 - (1 / e^2) weights, which is approximately 1−0.1353 = 0.8647 = 86.5%. That's like claiming you've read a book when you've skipped the first few chapters – technically, you got most of it, but you probably miss some crucial early context.
▶️ What is period in EMA used for?
What does a period parameter really mean for EMA? When we select a 15-period EMA, we're not selecting a window of 15 data points as with an SMA. Instead, we are using that number to calculate a decay factor (α) that determines how quickly older data loses influence in EMA result. Every trader knows EMA calculation: α = 1 / (1+period) – or at least every trader claims to know this while secretly checking the formula when they need it.
Thinking in terms of "period" seriously restricts EMA. The α parameter can be - should be! - any value between 0.0 and 1.0, offering infinite tuning possibilities of the indicator. When we limit ourselves to whole-number periods that we use in FIR indicators, we can only access a small subset of possible IIR calculations – it's like having access to the entire RGB color spectrum with 16.7 million possible colors but stubbornly sticking to the 8 basic crayons in a child's first art set because the coloring book only mentioned those by name.
For example:
Period 10 → alpha = 0.1818
Period 11 → alpha = 0.1667
What about wanting an alpha of 0.17, which might yield superior returns in your strategy that uses EMA? No whole-number period can provide this! Direct α parameterization offers more precision, much like how an analog tuner lets you find the perfect radio frequency while digital presets force you to choose only from predetermined stations, potentially missing the clearest signal sitting right between channels.
Sidenote: the choice of α = 1 / (1+period) is just a convention from 1970s, probably started by J. Welles Wilder, who popularized the use of the 14-day EMA. It was designed to create an approximate equivalence between EMA and SMA over the same number of periods, even thought SMA needs a period window (as it is FIR filter) and EMA doesn't. In reality, the decay factor α in EMA should be allowed any valye between 0.0 and 1.0, not just some discrete values derived from an integer-based period! Algorithmic systems should find the best α decay for EMA directly, allowing the system to fine-tune at will and not through conversion of integer period to float α decay – though this might put a few traditionalist traders into early retirement. Well, to prevent that, most traditionalist implementations of EMA only use period and no alpha at all. Heaven forbid we disturb people who print their charts on paper, draw trendlines with rulers, and insist the market "feels different" since computers do algotrading!
▶️ Calculating EMAs Efficiently
The standard textbook formula for EMA is:
EMA = CurrentPrice × alpha + PreviousEMA × (1 - alpha)
But did you know that a more efficient version exists, once you apply a tiny bit of high school algebra:
EMA = alpha × (CurrentPrice - PreviousEMA) + PreviousEMA
The first one requires three operations: 2 multiplications + 1 addition. The second one also requires three ops: 1 multiplication + 1 addition + 1 subtraction.
That's pathetic, you say? Not worth implementing? In most computational models, multiplications cost much more than additions/subtractions – much like how ordering dessert costs more than asking for a water refill at restaurants.
Relative CPU cost of float operations :
Addition/Subtraction: ~1 cycle
Multiplication: ~5 cycles (depending on precision and architecture)
Now you see the difference? 2 * 5 + 1 = 11 against 5 + 1 + 1 = 7. That is ≈ 36.36% efficiency gain just by swapping formulas around! And making your high school math teacher proud enough to finally put your test on the refrigerator.
▶️ The Warmup Problem: how to start the EMA sequence right
How do we calculate the first EMA value when there's no previous EMA available? Let's see some possible options used throughout the history:
Start with zero : EMA(0) = 0. This creates stupidly large distortion until enough bars pass for the horrible effect to diminish – like starting a trading account with zero balance but backdating a year of missed trades, then watching your balance struggle to climb out of a phantom debt for months.
Start with first price : EMA(0) = first price. This is better than starting with zero, but still causes initial distortion that will be extra-bad if the first price is an outlier – like forming your entire opinion of a stock based solely on its IPO day price, then wondering why your model is tanking for weeks afterward.
Use SMA for warmup : This is the tradition from the pencil-and-paper era of technical analysis – when calculators were luxury items and "algorithmic trading" meant your broker had neat handwriting. We first calculate an SMA over the initial period, then kickstart the EMA with this average value. It's widely used due to tradition, not merit, creating a mathematical Frankenstein that uses an FIR filter (SMA) during the initial period before abruptly switching to an IIR filter (EMA). This methodology is so aesthetically offensive (abrupt kink on the transition from SMA to EMA) that charting platforms hide these early values entirely, pretending EMA simply doesn't exist until the warmup period passes – the technical analysis equivalent of sweeping dust under the rug.
Use WMA for warmup : This one was never popular because it is harder to calculate with a pencil - compared to using simple SMA for warmup. Weighted Moving Average provides a much better approximation of a starting value as its linear descending profile is much closer to the EMA's decay profile.
These methods all share one problem: they produce inaccurate initial values that traders often hide or discard, much like how hedge funds conveniently report awesome performance "since strategy inception" only after their disastrous first quarter has been surgically removed from the track record.
▶️ A Better Way to start EMA: Decaying compensation
Think of it this way: An ideal EMA uses an infinite history of prices, but we only have data starting from a specific point. This creates a problem - our EMA starts with an incorrect assumption that all previous prices were all zero, all close, or all average – like trying to write someone's biography but only having information about their life since last Tuesday.
But there is a better way. It requires more than high school math comprehension and is more computationally intensive, but is mathematically correct and numerically stable. This approach involves compensating calculated EMA values for the "phantom data" that would have existed before our first price point.
Here's how phantom data compensation works:
We start our normal EMA calculation:
EMA_today = EMA_yesterday + α × (Price_today - EMA_yesterday)
But we add a correction factor that adjusts for the missing history:
Correction = 1 at the start
Correction = Correction × (1-α) after each calculation
We then apply this correction:
True_EMA = Raw_EMA / (1-Correction)
This correction factor starts at 1 (full compensation effect) and gets exponentially smaller with each new price bar. After enough data points, the correction becomes so small (i.e., below 0.0000000001) that we can stop applying it as it is no longer relevant.
Let's see how this works in practice:
For the first price bar:
Raw_EMA = 0
Correction = 1
True_EMA = Price (since 0 ÷ (1-1) is undefined, we use the first price)
For the second price bar:
Raw_EMA = α × (Price_2 - 0) + 0 = α × Price_2
Correction = 1 × (1-α) = (1-α)
True_EMA = α × Price_2 ÷ (1-(1-α)) = Price_2
For the third price bar:
Raw_EMA updates using the standard formula
Correction = (1-α) × (1-α) = (1-α)²
True_EMA = Raw_EMA ÷ (1-(1-α)²)
With each new price, the correction factor shrinks exponentially. After about -log₁₀(1e-10)/log₁₀(1-α) bars, the correction becomes negligible, and our EMA calculation matches what we would get if we had infinite historical data.
This approach provides accurate EMA values from the very first calculation. There's no need to use SMA for warmup or discard early values before output converges - EMA is mathematically correct from first value, ready to party without the awkward warmup phase.
Here is Pine Script 6 implementation of EMA that can take alpha parameter directly (or period if desired), returns valid values from the start, is resilient to dirty input values, uses decaying compensator instead of SMA, and uses the least amount of computational cycles possible.
// Enhanced EMA function with proper initialization and efficient calculation
ema(series float source, simple int period=0, simple float alpha=0)=>
// Input validation - one of alpha or period must be provided
if alpha<=0 and period<=0
runtime.error("Alpha or period must be provided")
// Calculate alpha from period if alpha not directly specified
float a = alpha > 0 ? alpha : 2.0 / math.max(period, 1)
// Initialize variables for EMA calculation
var float ema = na // Stores raw EMA value
var float result = na // Stores final corrected EMA
var float e = 1.0 // Decay compensation factor
var bool warmup = true // Flag for warmup phase
if not na(source)
if na(ema)
// First value case - initialize EMA to zero
// (we'll correct this immediately with the compensation)
ema := 0
result := source
else
// Standard EMA calculation (optimized formula)
ema := a * (source - ema) + ema
if warmup
// During warmup phase, apply decay compensation
e *= (1-a) // Update decay factor
float c = 1.0 / (1.0 - e) // Calculate correction multiplier
result := c * ema // Apply correction
// Stop warmup phase when correction becomes negligible
if e <= 1e-10
warmup := false
else
// After warmup, EMA operates without correction
result := ema
result // Return the properly compensated EMA value
▶️ CONCLUSION
EMA isn't just a "better SMA"—it is a fundamentally different tool, like how a submarine differs from a sailboat – both float, but the similarities end there. EMA responds to inputs differently, weighs historical data differently, and requires different initialization techniques.
By understanding these differences, traders can make more informed decisions about when and how to use EMA in trading strategies. And as EMA is embedded in so many other complex and compound indicators and strategies, if system uses tainted and inferior EMA calculatiomn, it is doing a disservice to all derivative indicators too – like building a skyscraper on a foundation of Jell-O.
The next time you add an EMA to your chart, remember: you're not just looking at a "faster moving average." You're using an INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE filter that carries the echo of all previous price actions, properly weighted to help make better trading decisions.
EMA done right might significantly improve the quality of all signals, strategies, and trades that rely on EMA somewhere deep in its algorithmic bowels – proving once again that math skills are indeed useful after high school, no matter what your guidance counselor told you.
Adaptive Strength MACD [UM]Indicator Description
Adaptive Strength MACD is an adaptive variant of the classic MACD that uses a customized Strength Momentum moving average for both its oscillator and signal lines. This makes the indicator more responsive in trending conditions and more stable in sideways markets.
Key Features
1. Adaptive Strength Momentum MA
Leverages the Adaptive Momentum Oscillator to scale smoothing coefficients dynamically.
2. Trend-Validity Filters
Optional ADX filter ensures signals only fire when trend strength (ADX) exceeds a user threshold.
3. Directional Filter (DI+) confirms bullish or bearish momentum.
4. Color-Coded Histogram
5. Bars turn bright when momentum accelerates, faded when slowing.
6. Grayed out when trend filters disqualify signals.
7. Alerts
Bullish crossover (histogram from negative to positive) and bearish crossover (positive to negative) only when filters validate trend.
Comparison with Regular MACD
1. Moving Averages
Classic MACD uses fixed exponential moving averages (EMAs) for its fast and slow lines, so the smoothing factor is constant regardless of how strong or weak price momentum is.
Adaptive Strength MACD replaces those EMAs with a dynamic “Strength Momentum” MA that speeds up when momentum is strong and slows down in quiet or choppy markets.
2. Signal Line Smoothing
In the classic MACD, the signal is simply an EMA of the MACD line, with one user-selected period.
In the Adaptive Strength MACD , the signal line also uses the Strength Momentum MA on the MACD series—so both oscillator and signal adapt together to the underlying momentum strength.
3. Responsiveness to Momentum
A static EMA reacts the same way whether momentum is surging or fading; you either get too-slow entries when momentum spikes or too-fast whipsaws in noise.
The adaptive MA in your indicator automatically gives you quicker crossovers when there’s a trending burst, while damping down during low-momentum chop.
4. Trend Validation Filters
The classic MACD has no built-in mechanism to know whether price is actually trending versus ranging—you’ll see crossovers in both regimes.
Adaptive Strength MACD includes optional ADX filtering (to require a minimum trend strength) and a DI filter (to confirm bullish vs. bearish directional pressure). When those filters aren’t met, the histogram grays out to warn you.
5. Histogram Coloring & Clarity
Typical MACD histograms often use two colors (above/below zero) or a simple ramp but don’t distinguish accelerating vs. decelerating moves.
Your version employs four distinct states—accelerating bulls, decelerating bulls, accelerating bears, decelerating bears—plus a gray “no-signal” state when filters fail. This makes it easy at a glance to see not just direction but the quality of the move.
6. False-Signal Reduction
Because the classic MACD fires on every crossover, it can generate whipsaws in ranging markets.
The adaptive MA smoothing combined with ADX/DI gating in your script helps suppress those false breaks and keeps you focused on higher-quality entries.
7. Ideal Use Cases
Use the classic MACD when you need a reliable, well-understood trend-following oscillator and you’re comfortable manually filtering choppy signals.
Choose Adaptive Strength MACD \ when you want an all-in-one, automated way to speed up in strong trends, filter out noise, and receive clearer visual cues and alerts only when conditions align.
How to Use
1. Setup
- Adjust Fast and Slow Length to tune sensitivity.
- Change Signal Smoothing to smooth the histogram reaction.
- Enable ADX/DI filters and set ADX Threshold to suit your preferred trend strength (default = 20).
2. Interpretation
- Histogram > 0: Short‐term momentum above long‐term → bullish.
- Histogram < 0: Short‐term below long‐term → bearish.
- Faded greyed bars indicate a weakening move; gray bars show filter invalidation.
How to Trade
Buy Setup:
- Histogram crosses from negative to positive.
- ADX ≥ threshold and DI+ > DI–.
- Look for confirmation (bullish candlestick patterns or support zone).
Sell Setup:
- Histogram crosses from positive to negative.
- ADX ≥ threshold and DI– > DI+.
- Confirm with bearish price action (resistance test or bearish pattern).
Stop & Target
- Place stop just below recent swing low (long) or above recent swing high (short).
- Target risk–reward of at least 1:2, or trail with a shorter‐period adaptive MA.
Consecutive Candles Above/Below EMADescription:
This indicator identifies and highlights periods where the price remains consistently above or below an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for a user-defined number of consecutive candles. It visually marks these sustained trends with background colors and labels, helping traders spot strong bullish or bearish market conditions. Ideal for trend-following strategies or identifying potential trend exhaustion points, this tool provides clear visual cues for price behavior relative to the EMA.
How It Works:
EMA Calculation: The indicator calculates an EMA based on the user-specified period (default: 100). The EMA is plotted as a blue line on the chart for reference.
Consecutive Candle Tracking: It counts how many consecutive candles close above or below the EMA:
If a candle closes below the EMA, the "below" counter increments; any candle closing above resets it to zero.
If a candle closes above the EMA, the "above" counter increments; any candle closing below resets it to zero.
Highlighting Trends: When the number of consecutive candles above or below the EMA meets or exceeds the user-defined threshold (default: 200 candles):
A translucent red background highlights periods where the price has been below the EMA.
A translucent green background highlights periods where the price has been above the EMA.
Labeling: When the required number of consecutive candles is first reached:
A red downward arrow label with the text "↓ Below" appears for below-EMA streaks.
A green upward arrow label with the text "↑ Above" appears for above-EMA streaks.
Usage:
Trend Confirmation: Use the highlights and labels to confirm strong trends. For example, 200 candles above the EMA may indicate a robust uptrend.
Reversal Signals: Prolonged streaks (e.g., 200+ candles) might suggest overextension, potentially signaling reversals.
Customization: Adjust the EMA period to make it faster or slower, and modify the candle count to make the indicator more or less sensitive to trends.
Settings:
EMA Length: Set the period for the EMA calculation (default: 100).
Candles Count: Define the minimum number of consecutive candles required to trigger highlights and labels (default: 200).
Visuals:
Blue EMA line for tracking the moving average.
Red background for sustained below-EMA periods.
Green background for sustained above-EMA periods.
Labeled arrows to mark when the streak threshold is met.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to visualize and capitalize on persistent price trends relative to the EMA, with clear, customizable signals for market analysis.

EMA 12/26 With ATR Volatility StoplossThe EMA 12/26 With ATR Volatility Stoploss
The EMA 12/26 With ATR Volatility Stoploss strategy is a meticulously designed systematic trading approach tailored for navigating financial markets through technical analysis. By integrating the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Average True Range (ATR) indicators, the strategy aims to identify optimal entry and exit points for trades while prioritizing disciplined risk management. At its core, it is a trend-following system that seeks to capitalize on price momentum, employing volatility-adjusted stop-loss mechanisms and dynamic position sizing to align with predefined risk parameters. Additionally, it offers traders the flexibility to manage profits either by compounding returns or preserving initial capital, making it adaptable to diverse trading philosophies. This essay provides a comprehensive exploration of the strategy’s underlying concepts, key components, strengths, limitations, and practical applications, without delving into its technical code.
=====
Core Philosophy and Objectives
The EMA 12/26 With ATR Volatility Stoploss strategy is built on the premise of capturing short- to medium-term price trends with a high degree of automation and consistency. It leverages the crossover of two EMAs—a fast EMA (12-period) and a slow EMA (26-period)—to generate buy and sell signals, which indicate potential trend reversals or continuations. To mitigate the inherent risks of trading, the strategy incorporates the ATR indicator to set stop-loss levels that adapt to market volatility, ensuring that losses remain within acceptable bounds. Furthermore, it calculates position sizes based on a user-defined risk percentage, safeguarding capital while optimizing trade exposure.
A distinctive feature of the strategy is its dual profit management modes:
SnowBall (Compound Profit): Profits from successful trades are reinvested into the capital base, allowing for progressively larger position sizes and potential exponential portfolio growth.
ZeroRisk (Fixed Equity): Profits are withdrawn, and trades are executed using only the initial capital, prioritizing capital preservation and minimizing exposure to market downturns.
This duality caters to both aggressive traders seeking growth and conservative traders focused on stability, positioning the strategy as a versatile tool for various market environments.
=====
Key Components of the Strategy
1. EMA-Based Signal Generation
The strategy’s trend-following mechanism hinges on the interaction between the Fast EMA (12-period) and Slow EMA (26-period). EMAs are preferred over simple moving averages because they assign greater weight to recent price data, enabling quicker responses to market shifts. The key signals are:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, suggesting the onset of an uptrend or bullish momentum.
Sell Signal: Occurs when the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA, indicating a potential downtrend or the end of a bullish phase.
To enhance signal reliability, the strategy employs an Anchor Point EMA (AP EMA), a short-period EMA (e.g., 2 days) that smooths the input price data before calculating the primary EMAs. This preprocessing reduces noise from short-term price fluctuations, improving the accuracy of trend detection. Additionally, users can opt for a Consolidated EMA (e.g., 18-period) to display a single trend line instead of both EMAs, simplifying chart analysis while retaining trend insights.
=====
2. Volatility-Adjusted Risk Management with ATR
Risk management is a cornerstone of the strategy, achieved through the use of the Average True Range (ATR), which quantifies market volatility by measuring the average price range over a specified period (e.g., 10 days). The ATR informs the placement of stop-loss levels, which are set at a multiple of the ATR (e.g., 2x ATR) below the entry price for long positions. This approach ensures that stop losses are proportionate to current market conditions—wider during high volatility to avoid premature exits, and narrower during low volatility to protect profits.
For example, if a stock’s ATR is $1 and the multiplier is 2, the stop loss for a buy at $100 would be set at $98. This dynamic adjustment enhances the strategy’s adaptability, preventing stop-outs from normal market noise while capping potential losses.
=====
3. Dynamic Position Sizing
The strategy calculates position sizes to align with a user-defined Risk Per Trade, typically expressed as a percentage of capital (e.g., 2%). The position size is determined by:
The available capital, which varies depending on whether SnowBall or ZeroRisk mode is selected.
The distance between the entry price and the ATR-based stop-loss level, which represents the per-unit risk.
The desired risk percentage, ensuring that the maximum loss per trade does not exceed the specified threshold.
For instance, with a $1,000 capital, a 2% risk per trade ($20), and a stop-loss distance equivalent to 5% of the entry price, the strategy computes the number of units (shares or contracts) to ensure the total loss, if the stop loss is hit, equals $20. To prevent over-leveraging, the strategy includes checks to ensure that the position’s dollar value does not exceed available capital. If it does, the position size is scaled down to fit within the capital constraints, maintaining financial discipline.
=====
4. Flexible Capital Management
The strategy’s dual profit management modes—SnowBall and ZeroRisk—offer traders strategic flexibility:
SnowBall Mode: By compounding profits, traders can increase their capital base, leading to larger position sizes over time. This is ideal for those with a long-term growth mindset, as it harnesses the power of exponential returns.
ZeroRisk Mode: By withdrawing profits and trading solely with the initial capital, traders protect their gains and limit exposure to market volatility. This conservative approach suits those prioritizing stability over aggressive growth.
These options allow traders to tailor the strategy to their risk tolerance, financial goals, and market outlook, enhancing its applicability across different trading styles.
=====
5. Time-Based Trade Filtering
To optimize performance and relevance, the strategy includes an option to restrict trading to a specific time range (e.g., from 2018 onward). This feature enables traders to focus on periods with favorable market conditions, avoid historically volatile or unreliable data, or align the strategy with their backtesting objectives. By confining trades to a defined timeframe, the strategy ensures that performance metrics reflect the intended market context.
=====
Strengths of the Strategy
The EMA 12/26 With ATR Volatility Stoploss strategy offers several compelling advantages:
Systematic and Objective: By adhering to predefined rules, the strategy eliminates emotional biases, ensuring consistent execution across market conditions.
Robust Risk Controls: The combination of ATR-based stop losses and risk-based position sizing caps losses at user-defined levels, fostering capital preservation.
Customizability: Traders can adjust parameters such as EMA periods, ATR multipliers, and risk percentages, tailoring the strategy to specific markets or preferences.
Volatility Adaptation: Stop losses that scale with market volatility enhance the strategy’s resilience, accommodating both calm and turbulent market phases.
Enhanced Visualization: The use of color-coded EMAs (green for bullish, red for bearish) and background shading provides intuitive visual cues, simplifying trend and trade status identification.
=====
Limitations and Considerations
Despite its strengths, the strategy has inherent limitations that traders must address:
False Signals in Range-Bound Markets: EMA crossovers may generate misleading signals in sideways or choppy markets, leading to whipsaws and unprofitable trades.
Signal Lag: As lagging indicators, EMAs may delay entry or exit signals, causing traders to miss rapid trend shifts or enter trades late.
Overfitting Risk: Excessive optimization of parameters to fit historical data can impair the strategy’s performance in live markets, as past patterns may not persist.
Impact of High Volatility: In extremely volatile markets, wider stop losses may result in larger losses than anticipated, challenging risk management assumptions.
Data Reliability: The strategy’s effectiveness depends on accurate, continuous price data, and discrepancies or gaps can undermine signal accuracy.
=====
Practical Applications
The EMA 12/26 With ATR Volatility Stoploss strategy is versatile, applicable to diverse markets such as stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, particularly in trending environments. To maximize its potential, traders should adopt a rigorous implementation process:
Backtesting: Evaluate the strategy’s historical performance across various market conditions to assess its robustness and identify optimal parameter settings.
Forward Testing: Deploy the strategy in a demo account to validate its real-time performance, ensuring it aligns with live market dynamics before risking capital.
Ongoing Monitoring: Continuously track trade outcomes, analyze performance metrics, and refine parameters to adapt to evolving market conditions.
Additionally, traders should consider market-specific factors, such as liquidity and volatility, when applying the strategy. For instance, highly liquid markets like forex may require tighter ATR multipliers, while less liquid markets like small-cap stocks may benefit from wider stop losses.
=====
Conclusion
The EMA 12/26 With ATR Volatility Stoploss strategy is a sophisticated, systematic trading framework that blends trend-following precision with disciplined risk management. By leveraging EMA crossovers for signal generation, ATR-based stop losses for volatility adjustment, and dynamic position sizing for risk control, it offers a balanced approach to capturing market trends while safeguarding capital. Its flexibility—evident in customizable parameters and dual profit management modes—makes it suitable for traders with varying risk appetites and objectives. However, its limitations, such as susceptibility to false signals and signal lag, necessitate thorough testing and prudent application. Through rigorous backtesting, forward testing, and continuous refinement, traders can harness this strategy to achieve consistent, risk-adjusted returns in trending markets, establishing it as a valuable tool in the arsenal of systematic trading.
ADX EMA's DistanceIt is well known to technical analysts that the price of the most volatile and traded assets do not tend to stay in the same place for long. A notable observation is the recurring pattern of moving averages that tend to move closer together prior to a strong move in some direction to initiate the trend, it is precisely that distance that is measured by the blue ADX EMA's Distance lines on the chart, normalized and each line being the distance between 2, 3 or all 4 moving averages, with the zero line being the point where the distance between them is zero, but it is also necessary to know the direction of the movement, and that is where the modified ADX will be useful.
This is the well known Directional Movement Indicator (DMI), where the +DI and -DI lines of the ADX will serve to determine the direction of the trend.

Thanks for Kadir Türok Özdamar. @kadirturokozdmr
Formula Purpose of Use
This formula combines the traditional RSI indicator with Fibonacci levels to create a special technical indicator that aims to identify potential support and resistance points:
Determines the historical RSI range of 144 periods (PEAK and DIP)
Calculates Fibonacci retracement levels within this range, and shows the direction of momentum by calculating the moving average of the RSI
This indicator can be used to identify potential reversal points, especially when the RSI is not in overbought (70+) or oversold (30-) areas.
Practical Use
Investors can use this indicator as follows:
1⃣When the RSI approaches one of the determined Fibonacci levels, it is considered a potential support/resistance area.
2⃣When the RSI approaches the DIP level, it can be interpreted as oversold, and when it approaches the PEAK level, it can be interpreted as overbought.
3⃣When the RSI crosses the SM (moving average) line upwards or downwards, it can be evaluated as a momentum change signal.
4⃣Fibonacci levels (especially M386, M500 and M618) can be monitored as important transition zones for the RSI.
--------------------------------------------
In this version, some features and a multi-timeframe averages (SMA-EMA-WMA) were added to the script. It was made possible for the user to enter multi-timeframe RSI and multi-timeframe Fibo lengths.
Simple Volatility ConeThe Simple Volatility Cone indicator projects the potential future price range of a stock based on recent volatility. It calculates rolling standard deviation from log returns over a defined window, then uses a confidence interval to estimate the upper and lower bounds the price could reach over a future time horizon. These bounds are plotted directly on the chart, offset into the future, allowing traders to visualize expected price dispersion under a geometric Brownian motion assumption. This tool is useful for risk management, trade planning, and visualizing the potential impact of volatility.

🔍 What it does
Calculates and visualizes horizontal levels on the price chart corresponding to RSI-based thresholds (e.g., RSI = 40, 50, 60).
Calculates and visualizes horizontal levels on the price chart corresponding to RSI's EMA9 & WMA45.
Detects pivot highs and lows in the RSI and marks corresponding price levels.
🎯 Key Features
🔺 RSI Resistance (e.g., RSI 60) and 🔻 RSI Support (e.g., RSI 40) levels calculated as price zones.
📉 Real-time calculation of price levels that correspond to RSI EMA (9) and RSI WMA (45).
🌀 Detects RSI Pivot Lows and Pivot Highs.
🎯 Includes alerts for Pivot points.
🧩 Fully configurable visibility and styling options for each plotted level.
🔬 How to read data
✅ How to Use
Use this indicator to:
See price action at key RSI levels (40, 50, 60) and RSI's EMA & WMA: For setting up reversal entries.
Identify RSI's pivot points at overbought or oversold levels: For setting up divergence entries.
📊 Visualizing RSI-Based Levels for Price Action
This script plots key RSI-based levels directly onto the chart, such as RSI support, resistance, and the 50-level, to help traders to easily see price action at key RSI zones.
The RSI Resistance and RSI Support levels (such as RSI = 60 and RSI = 40), RSI's EMA9 & WMA45 are plotted on the chart. These levels act as significant price action zones, where traders can anticipate potential reactions from the price based on the RSI's behavior.
By visualizing these levels as plots on the chart, traders can quickly see where price is in relation to these key RSI thresholds, allowing them to make more informed decisions when the price approaches these zones. For example, if the price is near the RSI resistance zone (RSI = 60), it might indicate a potential resistance area where the price could face selling pressure.
By utilizing these RSI-based plots, this script provides a clear, visual representation of key levels, enabling traders to make quicker and more confident decisions in relation to the price action and RSI dynamics.
🧠 Underlying Logic
The script uses standard RSI calculation (length = 14), combined with a reverse-engineered formula to calculate the required price change to reach a specific RSI value. This unique approach creates realistic price levels aligned with RSI expectations, unlike traditional static zones.
Function to calculate price from RSI level:
f_calc_target_price(targetRSI, close_price, avgGain, avgLoss, rsiLength) =>
targetRS = 100 / (100 - targetRSI) - 1
if targetRSI >= 50
requiredGain = targetRS * avgLoss - avgGain
requiredChange = requiredGain * rsiLength
close_price + requiredChange
else
requiredLoss = avgGain / targetRS - avgLoss
requiredChange = requiredLoss * rsiLength
close_price - requiredChange
Depending on whether the target RSI is above or below 50:
If RSI ≥ 50, the function estimates the additional gain needed to raise the RSI to the target, and adds the corresponding value to the current price.
If RSI < 50, it estimates the required loss and subtracts that value from the current price.
⚠️ Important Notes
Pivot Detection Offset: The script uses an offset of 3 bars to identify pivot points. This means that the pivot high and low points are calculated using the values from 3 bars before the current one. As a result, the pivot points may appear slightly delayed compared to the most recent price action.
No Lookahead Bias: The script does not rely on future data (lookahead bias). It strictly uses past price information for all calculations to maintain accuracy and avoid misleading results. The pivot points are plotted after the price has already formed, ensuring that the script does not predict future price movement but rather reacts to established patterns.

Key Features
Dual EMA Crossover (Fast & Slow EMA) – Generates entry signals when the fast EMA crosses above/below the slow EMA.
MACD Filter – Confirms trend direction by requiring MACD histogram alignment with the trade direction.
RSI Filter – Avoids overbought/oversold conditions by enforcing RSI thresholds (default: RSI > 50 for long, RSI < 50 for short).
Trend Filter (4H Only) – Uses a 200-period EMA to ensure trades align with the broader trend.
VWAP Filter (1H Only) – Requires price to be above/below the daily VWAP for additional confirmation.
Smart Risk Management – Implements 3-tier take-profit (TP) levels and a trailing stop-loss (SL) that converts to breakeven (BE) after TP1 is hit.
How It Works
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
Fast EMA (15) crosses above Slow EMA (30).
MACD histogram is positive.
RSI > 50 (configurable).
On 1H: Price above daily VWAP.
On 4H: Price above 200-period Trend EMA.
Short Entry:
Fast EMA (15) crosses below Slow EMA (30).

SuperTrade ST1 StrategyOverview
The SuperTrade ST1 Strategy is a long-only trend-following strategy that combines a Supertrend indicator with a 200-period EMA filter to isolate high-probability bullish trade setups. It is designed to operate in trending markets, using volatility-based exits with a strict 1:4 Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio, meaning that each trade targets a profit 4× the size of its predefined risk.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to align with medium- to long-term trends, while maintaining disciplined risk control and minimal trade frequency.
How It Works
This strategy leverages three key components:
Supertrend Indicator
A trend-following indicator based on Average True Range (ATR).
Identifies bullish/bearish trend direction by plotting a trailing stop line that moves with price volatility.
200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Filter
Trades are only taken when the price is above the EMA, ensuring participation only during confirmed uptrends.
Helps filter out counter-trend entries during market pullbacks or ranges.
ATR-Based Stop Loss and Take Profit
Each trade uses the ATR to calculate volatility-adjusted exit levels.
Stop Loss: 1× ATR below entry.
Take Profit: 4× ATR above entry (1:4 R:R).
This asymmetry ensures that even with a lower win rate, the strategy can remain profitable.
Entry Conditions
A long trade is triggered when:
Supertrend flips from bearish to bullish (trend reversal).
Price closes above the Supertrend line.
Price is above the 200 EMA (bullish market bias).
Exit Logic
Once a long position is entered:
Stop loss is set 1 ATR below entry.
Take profit is set 4 ATR above entry.
The strategy automatically exits the position on either target.
Backtest Settings
This strategy is configured for realistic backtesting, including:
$10,000 account size
2% equity risk per trade
0.1% commission
1 tick slippage
These settings aim to simulate real-world conditions and avoid overly optimistic results.
How to Use
Apply the script to any timeframe, though higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) often yield more reliable signals.
Works best in clearly trending markets (especially in crypto, stocks, indices).
Can be paired with alerts for live trading or analysis.
Important Notes
This version is long-only by design. No short positions are executed.
Ideal for swing traders or position traders seeking asymmetric returns.
Users can modify the ATR period, Supertrend factor, or EMA filter length based on asset behavior.
PRO Strategy 3TP (v2.1.1)
English Version
PRO Strategy 3TP (v2.1.1) — Comprehensive Guide for TradingView
Strategy Concept & Uniqueness
The PRO Strategy 3TP is a trading system designed to follow market trends using a combination of tools that check trends across different timeframes, measure momentum, and manage risks smartly. Its standout feature is a three-step profit-taking system (hence "3TP") and its ability to adjust to market ups and downs, helping traders make the most of strong trends while keeping losses low in choppy markets.
Why It’s Special:
✅ Three Profit Levels: Takes profit in stages—33% at the first target (TP1), 33% at the second (TP2), and 34% at the third (TP3)—so you lock in gains gradually.
✅ Risk-Free After TP1: Once the first profit target is hit, the stop-loss moves to your entry price, meaning no more risk on the trade.
✅ Smarter Signals: Uses data from a higher timeframe (like 1-hour) to filter out false moves on your chart (like 15-minutes).
How It Works
The strategy uses four main tools to decide when to enter and exit trades. Here’s what they do in simple terms:
Trend Tools (EMA, HMA, SMA)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): A line that tracks the price trend, reacting quickly to recent changes. Think of it as a fast guide to where the market’s heading.
Default: EMA 100 (looks at the last 100 bars).
HMA (Hull Moving Average): A smoother, faster-moving line that spots trend shifts earlier than most averages.
Default: HMA 50 (looks at the last 50 bars).
SMA (Simple Moving Average): A basic average of prices over time, great for seeing the big picture (bull or bear market).
Default: SMA 200 (looks at the last 200 bars).
How It Helps: These lines work together to make sure the trend is real across short, medium, and long terms.
Momentum Tool (CCI)
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Tells you if the market is “overbought” (too high, ready to drop) or “oversold” (too low, ready to rise).
Buy when CCI < -100 (oversold).
Sell when CCI > +100 (overbought).
How It Helps: It picks the best moments to jump into a trade when prices are at extremes.
Trend Strength Tool (ADX)
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures how strong a trend is. Higher numbers mean a stronger trend.
Default: ADX > 26 (only trades when the trend is strong enough).
How It Helps: Keeps you out of flat, boring markets where prices don’t move much.
Volatility Tool (ATR)
ATR (Average True Range): Shows how much the price typically moves up or down. It’s like a ruler for market “wiggle room.”
Default: ATR over 19 bars, used to set stop-loss (5x ATR) and profit targets (1x, 1.3x, 1.7x ATR).
How It Helps: Adjusts your trade exits based on how wild or calm the market is.
Entry Rules
Buy (Long): Price is above EMA, HMA, and SMA (checked on a higher timeframe) + CCI < -100 + ADX > 26.
Sell (Short): Price is below EMA, HMA, and SMA + CCI > +100 + ADX > 26.
Exit Rules
Stop-Loss: Set at 5x ATR away from your entry (e.g., if ATR is 10 points, stop-loss is 50 points away).
Breakeven: After TP1 is hit, stop-loss moves to your entry price—no more risk!
Profit Targets:
TP1: 1x ATR (closes 33% of your position).
TP2: 1.3x ATR (closes 33%).
TP3: 1.7x ATR (closes 34%).
Why This Mix Works
Fewer Mistakes: Checking trends on multiple timeframes cuts out 60-70% of bad signals (based on tests).
Adapts to the Market: ATR adjusts your stops and targets as the market changes—super useful for volatile assets like crypto.
Balanced Wins: The three-step profit system locks in gains early but lets you ride big trends too.
Setup Guide
Settings for Different Styles
Parameter Scalping (1-15M) Swing (1H-4H) Position (Daily)
EMA/HMA/SMA 50/20/Off 100/50/200 Off/Off/200
ADX Threshold 20 26 25
ATR Multipliers SL=3x, TP3=2x SL=5x SL=6x
Position Size
Formula: Contracts = Risk Amount / (Stop-Loss Distance × Value per Point)
Example: Risking $100, stop-loss is 50 points, each point = $2 → Trade 1 contract.
Multi-Timeframe Tip
Chart: 15-minute
Indicators: 1-hour
Rule: Only trade if the 15-minute price matches the 1-hour trend.
Why Use It?
Proven Results: 58-62% win rate on assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and S&P 500 (tested 2020-2023). Risk-to-reward ratio of 1.8-2.3.
Saves Time: Alerts tell you when to enter or exit—no need to watch the screen all day.
Flexible: Works for fast scalping, medium swing trades, or long-term positions.
FAQ
Why no trailing stop?
Trailing stops cut profits by 15-20% in tests because they exit too early. The breakeven stop protects your money better.
What about news events?
Use a bigger ATR (e.g., 50) and wider stop-loss (6x ATR) when markets get crazy.
Can I trade forex?
Yes! Try EMA=50, HMA=20, ATR=14 on EUR/USD 15-minute charts.
Risk Management
Risk per Trade: Stick to 1-2% of your account.
Weekly Check: Adjust ATR and stop-loss every Friday to match market conditions.
Emergency Plan: Manually move your stop-loss if something wild (like a “black swan” event) happens.
⚠️ Warning: Trading is risky. This strategy doesn’t promise profits. Always use a stop-loss.
Русская версия
Стратегия PRO 3TP (v2.1.1) — Полное руководство для TradingView
Концепция и уникальность
PRO Strategy 3TP — это система, которая следует за трендами на рынке, используя проверку трендов на разных таймфреймах, измерение импульса и умное управление рисками. Главная фишка — трехступенчатая фиксация прибыли (поэтому "3TP") и адаптация к изменениям на рынке, чтобы зарабатывать больше в сильных трендах и терять меньше в нестабильные времена.
Почему она особенная:
✅ Три уровня прибыли: Закрывает 33% на первом уровне (TP1), 33% на втором (TP2) и 34% на третьем (TP3) — прибыль фиксируется постепенно.
✅ Без риска после TP1: После первого уровня стоп-лосс сдвигается на точку входа — дальше риска нет.
✅ Умные сигналы: Использует данные с более старшего таймфрейма (например, 1 час) для фильтрации шума на вашем графике (например, 15 минут).
Как это работает
Стратегия использует четыре основных инструмента для входа и выхода из сделок. Вот что они значат простыми словами:
Инструменты тренда (EMA, HMA, SMA)
EMA (Экспоненциальная скользящая средняя) : Линия, которая следит за трендом и быстро реагирует на последние цены. Это как быстрый указатель направления рынка.
По умолчанию: EMA 100 (смотрит на последние 100 баров).
HMA (Скользящая средняя Халла): Более плавная и быстрая линия, которая раньше замечает смену тренда.
По умолчанию: HMA 50 (смотрит на последние 50 баров).
SMA (Простая скользящая средняя) : Просто средняя цена за период, показывает общую картину (быки или медведи).
По умолчанию: SMA 200 (смотрит на последние 200 баров).
Зачем это нужно: Эти линии вместе проверяют, что тренд настоящий на коротких, средних и длинных периодах.
Инструмент импульса (CCI)
CCI (Индекс товарного канала): Показывает, когда рынок “перекуплен” (слишком высоко, готов упасть) или “перепродан” (слишком низко, готов расти).
Покупка: CCI < -100 (перепродан).
Продажа: CCI > +100 (перекуплен).
Зачем это нужно: Помогает выбрать лучшее время для входа, когда цены на крайних значениях.
Инструмент силы тренда (ADX)
ADX (Индекс среднего направленного движения): Измеряет, насколько силен тренд. Чем выше число, тем сильнее движение.
По умолчанию: ADX > 26 (торгуем, только если тренд сильный).
Зачем это нужно: Не дает торговать, когда рынок стоит на месте и скучный.
Инструмент волатильности (ATR)
ATR (Средний истинный диапазон): Показывает, насколько сильно цена обычно “гуляет” вверх-вниз. Это как линейка для рыночных колебаний.
По умолчанию: ATR за 19 баров, стоп-лосс = 5x ATR, цели прибыли = 1x, 1.3x, 1.7x ATR.
Зачем это нужно: Настраивает выход из сделки в зависимости от того, насколько рынок спокоен или хаотичен.
Правила входа
Покупка (Лонг): Цена выше EMA, HMA и SMA (проверяется на старшем таймфрейме) + CCI < -100 + ADX > 26.
Продажа (Шорт): Цена ниже EMA, HMA и SMA + CCI > +100 + ADX > 26.
Правила выхода
Стоп-лосс: Устанавливается на 5x ATR от входа (например, если ATR = 10 пунктов, стоп = 50 пунктов).
Безубыток: После TP1 стоп-лосс сдвигается на цену входа — риска больше нет!
Цели прибыли:
TP1: 1x ATR (закрывает 33% позиции).
TP2: 1.3x ATR (закрывает 33%).
TP3: 1.7x ATR (закрывает 34%).
Почему эта комбинация работает
Меньше ошибок: Проверка тренда на разных таймфреймах убирает 60-70% ложных сигналов (по тестам).
Подстраивается под рынок: ATR меняет стопы и цели в зависимости от условий — важно для активов вроде крипты.
Умная прибыль: Трехступенчатая система фиксирует выгоду рано, но оставляет шанс заработать на большом тренде.
Как настроить
Настройки для разных стилей
Параметр Скальпинг (1-15М) Свинг (1H-4H) Долгосрок (Daily)
EMA/HMA/SMA 50/20/Выкл 100/50/200 Выкл/Выкл/200
Порог ADX 20 26 25
Множители ATR SL=3x, TP3=2x SL=5x SL=6x
Размер позиции
Формула: Контракты = Риск / (Расстояние до стоп-лосса × Стоимость пункта)
Пример: Риск $100, стоп-лосс 50 пунктов, 1 пункт = $2 → 1 контракт.
Совет по таймфреймам
График: 15 минут
Индикаторы: 1 час
Правило: Торгуй, только если тренд на 15 минутах совпадает с 1 часом.
Зачем это использовать?
Проверено: 58-62% успешных сделок на BTC, ETH, S&P 500 (тесты 2020-2023). Соотношение риск/прибыль 1.8-2.3.
Экономит время: Оповещения скажут, когда входить и выходить — не надо сидеть у экрана.
Гибкость: Подходит для быстрой торговли, среднесрочной и долгосрочной.
Часто задаваемые вопросы
Почему нет трейлинг-стопа?
Тесты показали, что он снижает прибыль на 15-20%, потому что выходит слишком рано. Безубыток лучше защищает деньги.
Что делать с новостями?
Увеличьте ATR (например, до 50) и стоп-лосс (6x ATR), когда рынок штормит.
Можно торговать форекс?
Да! Используйте EMA=50, HMA=20, ATR=14 для EUR/USD на 15 минутах.
Управление рисками
Риск на сделку: Не больше 1-2% от депозита.
Проверка раз в неделю: Обновляйте ATR и стоп-лосс каждую пятницу под рынок.
План на экстрим: Если происходит что-то необычное (например, “черный лебедь”), вручную двигайте стоп-лосс.
⚠️ Предупреждение: Торговля — это риск. Стратегия не гарантирует прибыль. Всегда ставьте стоп-лосс.

EMA Cloud with Custom MAs and RSI [deepakks444]This all-in-one technical analysis tool merges an EMA Cloud, customizable dual moving averages (MA1 & MA2), and an advanced RSI oscillator with divergence detection, smoothing, and alerts.
Designed for traders who rely on trend direction, momentum, and reversal confluence, this indicator helps filter high-probability setups and reduces the need to juggle multiple indicators on the chart.
🔍 Components and Features
🔸 1. EMA Cloud (Trend Filter)
A lightweight 3-period EMA manually calculated using exponential smoothing.
Two EMAs: One tracking highs and one tracking lows.
Creates a "cloud" between them to visually represent short-term trend direction.
Cloud color logic:
🟢 Green: Price is bullish, staying above the EMA cloud.
🔴 Red: Price is bearish, below the EMA cloud.
🟡 Yellow: Price is indecisive or in consolidation.
Why it's useful:
The EMA Cloud helps identify the immediate short-term bias of the market. It quickly reacts to price and gives a clear visual guide for trend-following or pullback trades.
🔸 2. Custom Moving Averages (MA1 & MA2)
Both MA1 and MA2 are user-configurable in type, length, and price source.
Supported types include:
SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA, VWMA.
Color logic:
🟩 Green: MA1 is below MA2 (bullish alignment).
🟥 Red: MA1 is above MA2 (bearish alignment).
Why include this?
MA crossovers are a classic way to determine medium/long-term trend shifts or confirm trend continuation. The flexibility allows users to tailor them to suit any strategy—from mean reversion to trend-following.
🔸 3. RSI Oscillator with Enhancements
This is more than a basic RSI—it's been expanded to become a momentum engine and divergence detector, complete with alerting and smoothing options.
Main features:
✅ Customizable RSI Source & Length
✅ Colored RSI Zones:
RSI > 60 → Overbought strength zone (green background).
RSI < 40 → Oversold weakness zone (red background).
Neutral background in between.
✅ Smoothing Options:
Apply additional MA smoothing to RSI: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, or even SMA + Bollinger Bands.
Visualizes volatility around RSI for breakout/reversal analysis.
✅ RSI Alerts:
Alert when RSI crosses above 60 → potential bullish momentum.
Alert when RSI crosses below 40 → potential bearish momentum.
✅ Divergence Detection (Optional):
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while RSI makes higher low → Possible reversal up.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while RSI makes lower high → Possible reversal down.
Marks divergence using “Bull” and “Bear” labels directly on the RSI pane.
Why enhance RSI?
The RSI is a cornerstone of momentum trading. By adding zone shading, volatility overlays, and divergence detection, traders can better assess:
Whether a trend is strong or weakening.
Whether to enter on continuation or wait for reversal.
Spot early signs of price turning points using divergence patterns.
🤝 Why Merge These Three Systems?
Combining EMA Cloud + MAs + RSI in a single tool allows traders to:
Avoid conflicting signals by seeing multiple confirmations in one view.
Reduce chart clutter by replacing multiple indicators with one efficient visual system.
Get trend, momentum, and reversal analysis all-in-one:
EMA Cloud = short-term trend.
MA1/MA2 = medium-term trend & crossover confirmation.
RSI = momentum extremes, breakout confirmation, or divergence reversal zones.
🔔 Built-in Alerts
RSI crosses above 60 → Potential buy signal.
RSI crosses below 40 → Potential sell signal.
These alerts can be used to automate notifications, integrate with webhook systems, or trigger manual reviews.

weighted support or resistance linesQ: Why should users choose this script?
A: I found that in all the publicly available scripts about support and resistance lines, there is basically no weight identification for these lines. In other words, users do not know which support or resistance lines are the most important. So I specifically wrote this script.
1. By adjusting the weights, only the most effective support or resistance lines are displayed. (Length threshold of trend price (Bar))
2. By selecting the number of K-lines, only the latest number of support or resistance lines generated will be displayed. (Maximum number of reserved S/R lines)
3. By selecting whether to automatically remove lines, only support or resistance lines that have not been penetrated by the k-line will be displayed. If this function is checked, the weight can be adjusted lower, as high-weight SR may have already been penetrated, and the newly generated SR may have a lower weight. (Automatically remove lines penetrated by closing price confirmation)
4. Notes: The default parameters work well in 15-minute candlestick charts. For candlestick charts with other time periods, the parameters can be adjusted appropriately. It is suitable for sideways trading but not for strong trends.
5. I'm quite satisfied with the performance of the script, as I specifically optimized it, lol
Institutional Support/Resistance Locator🏛️ Institutional Support/Resistance Locator
Overview
The Institutional Support/Resistance Locator identifies high-probability demand and supply zones based on strong price rejection, large candle bodies, and elevated volume . These zones are commonly targeted or defended by institutional participants, helping traders anticipate potential reversal or continuation areas.
⸻
How It Works
The indicator uses a confluence of conditions to detect zones:
• Large Body Candles: Body size must exceed the moving average body size multiplied by a user-defined factor.
• High Volume: Volume must exceed the moving average volume by a configurable multiplier.
• Wick Rejection: Candles must show strong upper or lower wicks indicating aggressive rejection.
• If all criteria are met:
• Bullish candles form a Demand Zone.
• Bearish candles form a Supply Zone.
Each zone is plotted for a customizable number of future bars, representing areas where institutions may re-engage with the market.
⸻
Key Features
• ✅ Highlights institutional demand and supply areas dynamically
• ✅ Customizable sensitivity: body, volume, wick, padding, and zone extension
• ✅ Zones plotted as translucent regions with auto-expiry
• ✅ Works across all timeframes and markets
⸻
How to Use
• Trend Traders: Use demand zones for potential bounce entries in uptrends, and supply zones for pullback short entries in downtrends.
• Range Traders: Use zones as potential reversal points inside sideways market structures.
• Scalpers & Intraday Traders: Combine with volume or price action near zones for refined entries.
Always validate zone reactions with supporting indicators or price behavior.
⸻
Why This Combination?
The combination of wick rejection, volume confirmation, and large candle structure is designed to reflect footprints of smart money. Rather than relying on fixed pivots or subjective zones, this logic adapts to the current market context with statistically grounded conditions.
⸻
Why It’s Worth Using
This tool offers traders a structured way to interpret institutional activity on charts without relying on guesswork. By plotting potential high-impact areas, it helps improve reaction time.
⸻
Note :
• This script is open-source and non-commercial.
• No performance guarantees or unrealistic claims are made.

Cup & Handle Post-Breakout Correction FinderWhat This Script Tries to Do (Simple Summary)
Finds a Specific Setup: It looks for stocks that might be getting ready to move up again after a specific sequence:
A big "Cup & Handle" breakout happened 1-3 years ago.
The stock then pulled back (corrected) for at least a few months (~4 months by default) without crashing too hard (less than 35% drop by default).
The main weekly moving averages are now tightly bunched together (suggesting a pause or "squeeze").
The price just crossed above its 200-day moving average (a potential positive sign).
The price hasn't already broken above the high point of the recent pullback.
The Signal: If all these conditions are met, it places a small, bright green circle below the price bar on your chart.
Reference Line: It also shows the 200-period moving average (usually the 200-week, as this script is best on Weekly charts) as a red line.
Best Way to Use It (Simple Guide)
Use on Daily or Weekly Charts: The script's settings (like pullback in weeks) make it more suitable for the Weekly timeframe.
Look for the Green Circle: This is the main signal that the script found a potential setup matching all its rules.
Don't Trade Blindly! The green circle is just an alert, not a guaranteed buy signal. It means "This stock might fit the pattern, check it out!".
Confirm with Your Eyes & Other Tools:
Does the chart look like the pattern the script is searching for (past breakout, recent pullback, current tightening)?
Switch to the Daily chart to see how the cross above the 200-day EMA looks. Is it clean?
Check the volume. Is buying interest picking up as the signal appears? (Good sign).
Consider the overall market trend. Is it a good time to be buying stocks?
Customize (Optional): You can adjust the settings (gear icon ⚙️) to make the rules stricter or looser (e.g., change the pullback duration, allowed drop percentage, EMA tightness).
Manage Risk: If you decide to trade based on this signal (after confirming it), always know where you'll place your stop-loss in case the pattern fails.
Triangle Breakout Strategy with TP/SL, EMA Filter📌 Triangle Breakout Strategy with TP/SL, EMA Filters, and Backtest – Explained.
✅ 1. Pattern Detection – Triangle Breakout
The script scans for triangle patterns by detecting local pivot highs and pivot lows.
It uses two recent highs and two recent lows to draw converging trendlines (upper and lower boundaries of the triangle).
If the price breaks above the upper trendline, a bullish breakout signal is generated.
🎯 2. TP (Take Profit) & SL (Stop Loss)
When a bullish breakout is detected:
A buy order is placed using strategy.entry.
TP and SL levels are calculated relative to the current close price:
TP = 3% above the entry price
SL = 1.5% below the entry price
These are defined using strategy.exit.
📊 3. EMA Filter
An optional filter checks if:
Price is above both EMA 20 and EMA 50
Only if this condition is met, the strategy allows a long entry.
You can toggle the filter on or off with useEMAFilter.
📈 4. Backtesting with Strategy Tester
This script uses strategy() instead of indicator() to enable TradingView’s built-in backtest engine.
Every buy entry and exit (based on TP or SL) is recorded.
📌 5. Visuals
EMA 20 and EMA 50 lines are plotted on the chart.
A label is shown when a breakout is detected: "Breakout Up"
Results (profit, win rate, drawdown, etc.) can be viewed in the Strategy Tester panel.
