Volatility Adjusted Grid [Gann]█ OVERVIEW
Gann Square of 9 is one of the many brilliant concepts from W.D.Gann himself where it revolves around the idea that price is moving in a certain geometrical pattern. Numbers on the Square of 9 spiral tables, especially those lie in every 45degree in the chart act as key vibration levels where prices have tendency to react to (more on the table below).
There are few square of 9 related scripts here in Tradingview and while there's nothing wrong with them, it doesn't address 1 particular issue that i have: The numbers can be too rigid even when scaled based on current price because the levels are fixed, which makes them not tradable on certain timeframes depending on where the price currently sitting.
Heres 5min and 1hour Bitcoin chart to illustrate what i mean: Grey line on the left is based on Volatility Adjusted levels, while red/blue on the right are the standard Gann levels.
You can see that on 1hour chart, it provides a good levels (both Volatility Adjusted and the standard one happened to share the same multiplier in this case),
1Hour Chart:
On 5 min chart tells a different story as the range between blue/red levels can be deemed as to big for a short term trade, while the grey line is adjusted to suit that particular timeframe (You can still adjust to make it bigger/smaller from the settings, more on this below)
5Min Chart:
█ Little bit on Gann Square of 9 table
This is the square of nine table, the numbers highlighted in Red are known as Cardinal Cross and considered to be a major Support/Resistance while those in Blue color are known as Ordinal Cross considered as minor (but still important) Support/Resistance levels
Similarly, this script use these numbers (and certain multipliers) to print out the levels, with Cardinal numbers represented by solid lines and Ordinal numbers by dotted lines.
█ How it Works and Limitations
The Volatility Adjusted grid will go through several iterations of different multipliers to find the Gann number range that is at least bigger than times ATR. Because it's using ATR to determine the range, occasionally you'll notice that the line become smaller as ATR contracting (and vice versa). To overcome this, you can change the size range multiplier from the settings to retrieve the previous range size.
Use the size guide at the bottom left to find the multiplier that suits your need:
1st Row -> Previous Range -- Change Range Size to number lower than this to get a smaller range
2nd Row -> Next Range -- Change Range Size to number higher than this to get a larger range
Example:
Before:
After:
As you'll soon realise, the key here is to find the range that fits the historical structure and suits your own strategy. Enjoy :)

Tokyo:
7:00 pm - 4:00 am EST
Directional Strength Panel█ OVERVIEW
The panel display trend momentum of selected coins/symbol (up to 6) based on the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA). I'm using ALMA to measure the trend because it resolves 2 main issue of the more common moving averages, smoothing and responsiveness. By removing the minor fluctuations in price without sacrificing the responsiveness, the trend become much more clearer and easier to be measured.
In essence, as the meter approaches 100, it means the ALMA is pointing up (0 means pointing down)
█ Features
- Adjustable ALMA settings with options to turn on/off display the ALMA on current chart
- Select 6 symbols of your choice to be monitored in the settings (You have to manually update the label to display)
- Working on all timeframes
- Switch the panel color to suit background chart theme (Light/Dark)
█ Developer Notes
I'm working with table a lot lately and decided to publish this as a sample if anyone wishes to edit the script to display whatever they want. main calculation in get_data() function should be clamped to value between 0-100. As for the panel size, you can edit the row_max (currently set to 20 and 40) if you need it to be smaller or bigger (**i feel anything smaller than 16 is ugly)

Central Bank Interest RatesThis indicator will show central bank interest rates on any major currency pairs.
I included the last 10 values for the study and will update them with future changes.
Major currencies: USD, CAD, NZD, AUD, JPY, EUR, CHF, GBP
I might add CZK, TRY, ZAR, and Yuan in the future.
Sideways detection bollinger bandsSideways detection indicator using Bollinger bands .
In this case we take the original ratio between lower and upper and we smooth it even harder in order to get a better idea about the accuracy of the trend.
If the initial ratio is not between 0 and 1 and the smooth ratio is higher than our selected value, we get an idea if we are a in trending market or not.
Of course using it as a standalone has no usage, and it has to be combined with other tools like moving average, oscillators and so on.
IF you have any questions let me know
3x EMA fast, 3 x MA slow + BB + PsarThis is a trend system which combines multiple fast EMA + mulitple slower SMA together with bollinger band channel and PSAR.
For entry rules the ones that I use are:
Long
We are inside BB channel, psar is ascending, and our close is above all moving averages or below all EMA'S + 1 SMA
WE can exit either when our close is below all EMA's or when PSAR is descending or when we hit upper/lower BB levels
Short
We are inside BB channel, psar is descnending, and our close is below all moving averages or below all EMA's + 1 SMA
WE can exit either when our close is above all EMA's or when PSAR is ascending or when we hit upper/lower BB levels

Extremely high win rate FOREX swing strategyTHis is a very simple yet extremely efficient FOREX strategy .
In general it tends to work the best against NZD and AUD pairs, however other major pairs and crosses can work as well.
It's made of a time management, together with MACD , moving average , a price action rule and a risk management.
THe logic behind is the next one :
For LONG:
We have 3 ascending candles.
Histogram of MACD is positive.
Last close of a candle is was above moving average.
If all those previous condition happened before 17/18 UTC time depending if its summer time or not, we enter the trade.
For Short:
We have 3 descending candles.
Histogram of MACD is negative.
Last close of a candle is was below moving average.
If all those previous condition happened before 17/18 UTC time depending if its summer time or not, we enter the trade.
RIsk management
For risk management, since we aim to have a 95%+ win rate, we aim to have a 5:1 or 10:1 risk to reward ratio. Meaning that for each $ we can win, we can lose 5-10$.
THats why I recommend to be extremely careful when playing with leverage with this strategy.
Full Forex scalper StrategyTHis is a FOREX scalping system that can be optimized with almost all majors and crosses pairs.
Its made of multiple elements such as :
MACD
Stochastic RSI
Fast VW moving average
Slow VW moving average
Time management( forex sessions as inputs)
Rules for entry
Long
Last 2 MACD values were ascending, fast moving average is below moving average and stochastic RSI is below 30 level. At the same time we are either into London or NY session.
Short
Last 2 MACD values were descending, fast moving average is above moving average and stochastic RSI is above 70 level. At the same time we are either into London or NY
Rules for exit
WE have 2 exit possibilities: we can exit either at the end of NY/London Session or based on a TP/SL risk management calculating % in movement.
If you have any questions let me know !

Its components are
200 EMA
MACD
OBV
PSAR
RIsk management with tp and sl movements
Rules for entry
For long = Previous histogram from MACD was below 0 and current one is above 0. CLose of a candle is above EMA 200 , OBV oscillator is negative and we have an uptrend from PSAR
For short = Previous histogram from MACD was above 0 and current one is below 0. CLose of a candle is below EMA 200 , OBV oscillator is positive and we have an downtrend from PSAR
Rules for exit
For tp and sl values we calculate the distance from the close of candle until the psar values.
If you have any questions, let me know !
Forex Daytrade T3 MA sessionThis is a simple yet very efficient daytrading strategy for most crosses pairs, like EUR/NZD, EUR/AUD , GBP/NZD, GBP/AUD and so on.
It tends to works best with 1h and 15 min time frame charts.
Its components are :
Entry time = session that we want to trade, where we can combine for example half of London and all of NY using an hour system.
T3 Moving average
Price action.
Rules for entry
For long , we are during the hours we want to trade, current close is price is above previous high and at the same time is above moving average
For short , we are during the hours we want to trade, current close is price is below previous low and at the same time is below moving average
Rules for exit
We exit when either the opposite condition is triggered, if the hours of trading are off or based on a percentage TP/SL system movement.
For this example we use 1% movement both for TP and SL

MACD
Rules
For long :close of the candle is above moving average 50, moving average 50> moving average 100, macd histogram is positive and cross over of stochastic rsi with the oversold level.
For short :close of the candle is below moving average 50, moving average 50 < moving average 100, macd histogram is negative and cross under of stochastic rsi with the overbought level.
Exit
For exit we have take profit and stop loss using fixed pip points.
For this example on EURUSD we use 20 pips for both tp and sl
IF you have any questions let me know !
Swing forex strategy 15minThis is a strategy made using BB+ RSI indicators that seems to work great with 15 min major pairs for FOREX.
THe rules for it are simple:
For long we enter when the close of our candle crosses upwards the lower line and rsi crossover the over sold line
We exit long when we have a short entry.
For short we enter when the close of the candle crosses downwards the top line and rsi cross under the over bought line
WE exit short when we have a long entry.
Careful, this strategy has no risk management inside.

[astropark] price levels lightDear Followers,
today I'm glad to present you an light version indicator of my "price levels" one that you can see here below:
It's a great analysis tool, for both scalpers, day traders and swing traders, and it works on every timeframe, market and pair .
I suggest you so check-out previous version indicator's description to understand how to use it and why such a tool may be important for your trading journey.
This light indicator puts the focus on following values only:
Monday Range (High - Low - Mid Range)
Weekly Open (which is also Monday Open)
Monthly Open
Yearly Open
Yearly Range (High - Low)
Besides it's a light version, it comes with a nice feature, enabled by default: shows only latest value of each type!
This way you will have a very clean chart, as you can skip to see previous not anymore important values, focusing on latest ones.
As in the not-light version, you can:
choose price levels to hide and show
change each level color / thickness / display style (solid or dotted)
choose to show or hide price labels and change their size
This is a premium indicator , so send me a private message in order to get access to this script.
[astropark] Moon Phases [alarms]Dear Followers,
today I'm glad to present you an indicator which calculates Moon Phases and let's you set an alert over it.
This is a public free indicator based on the public one by @paaax:
I added my usual alert system logic, plus some more customization inputs for easy coloring.
The lower the timeframe you use it and set your alerts on, the more precise the alert value you get.
Here below the script for backtesting it:
Enjoy!
-- astropark
quarter level dinamicLimited quarter level script but more flexible in compared to my FX script, same logic behind
quarter level 0.5 to 2.0This script could help to see edged level for a reverse on forex, not for yen pairs and is based on quarter and round number theory.
I suggest to use it on H4 timeframe or lower to have a confermation on support or resistance level.
Alert(), alertcondition() or strategy alerts?Variety of possibilities offered by PineScript, especially thanks to recent additions, created some confusion. Especially one question repeats quite often - which method to use to trigger alerts?
I'm posting this to clarify and give some syntax examples. I'll discuss these 3 methods in chronological order, meaning - in the order they were introduced to PineScript.
ALERTCONDITION() - it is a function call, which can be used only in study-type script. Since years ago, you could create 2 types of a script: strategy and study. First one enables creating a backtest of a strategy. Second was to develop scripts which didn't require backtesting and could trigger alerts. alertcondition() calls in strategy-type scripts were rejected by Pine compiler. On the other hand compiling study-type scripts rejected all strategy...() calls. That created difficulties, because once you had a nice and backtested strategy, you had to rip it off from all strategy...() function calls to convert your script to study-type so you could produce alerts. Maintenance of two versions of each script was necessary and it was painful.
"STRATEGY ALERTS" were introduced because of alertcondition() pains. To create strategy alert, you need to click "Add alert" button inside Strategy Tester (backtester) and only there. Alerts set-up this way are bound with the backtester - whenever backtester triggers an order, which is visible on the chart, alert is also fired. And you can customize alert message using some placeholders like {{strategy.order.contracts}} or {{ticker}}.
ALERT() was added last. This is an alerts-triggering function call, which can be run from strategy-type script. Finally it is doable! You can connect it to any event coded in PineScript and generate any alert message you want, thanks to concatenation of strings and wrapping variables into tostring() function.
Out of these three alertcondition() is obviously archaic and probably will be discontinued. There is a chance this makes strategy/study distinction not making sense anymore, so I wouldn't be surprised if "studies" are deprecated at some point.
But what are the differences between "Strategy alerts" and alert()? "Strategy alerts" seem easier to set-up with just a few clicks and probably easier to understand and verify, because they go in sync with the backtester and on-chart trade markers. It is especially important to understand how they work if you're building strategy based on pending orders (stop and limit) - events in your code might trigger placing pending order, but alert will be triggered only (and when) such order is executed.
But "Strategy Alerts" have some limitations - not every variable you'd like to include in alert message is available from PineScript. And maybe you don't need the alert fired when the trade hit a stop-loss or take-profit, because you have already forwarded info about closing conditions in entry alert to your broker/exchange.
Alert() was added to PineScript to fill all these gaps. Is allows concatenating any alert message you want, with any variable you want inside it and you can attach alert() function at any event in your PineScript code. For example - when placing orders, crossing variables, exiting trades, but not explicitly at pending orders execution.
The Verdict
"Strategy Alerts" might seem a better fit - easier to set-up and verify, flexible and they fire only when a trade really happens, not producing unnecessary mess when each pending order is placed. But these advantages are illusionary, because they don't give you the full-control which is needed when trading with real money. Especially when using pending orders. If an alert is fired when price actually hit a stop-order or limit-order level, and even if you are executing such alert within 1 second thanks to a tool like TradingConnector, you might already be late and you are making entry at a market price. Slippage will play a great role here. You need to send ordering alert when logical conditions are met - then it will be executed at the price you want. Even if you need to cancel all the pending orders which were not executed. Because of that I strongly recommend sticking to ALERT() when building your alerts system.
Below is an example strategy, showing syntax to manage placing the orders and cancelling them. Yes, this is another spin-off from my TradingView Alerts to MT4 MT5 . As usual, please don't pay attention to backtest results, as this is educational script only.
P.S. For the last time - farewell alertcondition(). You served us well.
TradingWise Supply and Demand Indicator 1.0TradingWise Supply and Demand Indicator 1.0 is based on the Price Action candlestick patterns to identify the Supply and Demand zones in the charts (Areas of liquidity). It works on all Timeframes and Asset Classes. This Script helps the traders to identify the demand and supply zones with identifications on the candle stick patterns indicating the origin of the Strong move. Also it generates Alerts automatically once the supply or demand area is formed thus by reducing the hours spent on the charts and reducing the missed trade Opportunities as well. This Indicator is extremely helpful for those on Full time Jobs/ Busy Schedule.
Buy/Sell Alerts by Indicator:
Green Diamond + DZ Sign ---> Indicates the Demand Zone Formation. Place Buy Trade upon Entry Criteria Met
Orange Diamond + SZ Sign ---> Indicates the Supply Zone Formation. Place Sell Trade upon Entry Criteria Met
WOTS Forex IndicatorThe WOTS Forex Indicator gives you a true picture of the market entry points, after a scan it performs every period (after every candlestick closes) . It is pretty straightforward in its use with clear visual representation of the entry and exit points provided by the indicator.
This allows you to make improved entry and exit points either you're going long or short on any Forex pair you like, and accommodates many trading styles, systems, and strategies.
It will work along most TradingView indicators and the timeframes we recommend you using it are the 30M, 1H and sometimes the 4H chart.
The specific components of the indicator are:
Methodology:
The indicator uses a MACD oscillator to determine the local trend direction and to give buy & sell signals when its conditions are met.
An optional build-in indicator, exponential moving average cross (EMA cross), can be used to filter out 'false' signals.
The calculation of the entry points are drawn from universal prices that fit every pair in the Forex market you may choose.
Persistent variables are used for buy and sell prices, enabling color-coding of the signals (profitable or not).
Features:
Color coded labels - Buy & Sell
Four types of entries - Bull Buy = orange, Scalp Buy = green & Bear Sell = purple, Scalp Sell = red
Universal prices fitting all Forex pairs
Four Buy and Sell signal alerts
Remarks:
In our experience and recommendation, the values used work best on the 30-minute & 1-Hour timeframes. We encourage everyone to experiment the best results we had, were on this specific timeframe, higher or even lower.
Using the indicator on non-standard charts (Heikin Ashi, Renko etc.) can produce unrealistic results.
- Thanks to John Aslanis and Alexandros Temelkou the idealists and creators of this indicator.

Moving Stop-Loss mechanism + alerts to MT4/MT5"How to code moving stop-loss mechanism", is one of the most often repeating questions in private messages I receive, so just to focus on this mechanism, I made a spin-off from my previous script: TradingView-Alerts-to-MT4-MT5-dynamic-variables-NON-REPAINTING .
The logic here moves the stop-loss each time a trade is running and a new pivot high/low is detected. When such event occurs (UpdateLongStopLoss or UpdateShortStopLoss), stoploss_long or stoploss_short mutable variable is modified. And it needs to be coded inside strategy.exit() line as "stop=stoploss_long" or "stop=stoploss_short". Entries are pretty straightforward - on Stoch crosses.
Last lines of the script show how to wrap information about such updates and send send alerts to MetaTrader via TradingConnector for execution in Forex/indices/commodities/crypto markets via MetaTrader. Please note that "tradeid=" variable must be passed with each alert, to let MetaTrader know which trade to modify. SLMOD, TPMOD are recently added commands, along with BE (as in "move stop-loss to breakeven" - but that's another topic).
Please disregard strategy backtest results, as this script is for coding education purposes only. However, it seems with the stop-loss mechanism enabled, the results are even better, than in original version of the script :)
test Xbr Super Volume 3.0A new update that can be used in liquid markets using graphical analysis.
The logic of this indicator is to automatically carry out the analysis of points where there is volume absorption, indicating on the graph through an arrow and lines from which defenses and fights can be generated.
Using this methodology we can find good moments to negotiate.
Scalp - 50/200 EMAWorks on any timeframe but was built originally for scalping. Uses 50EMA and 200EMA to define the trend and touch backs on to the 50 EMA for entry.
200 EMA - White Line
50 EMA - Yellow Line
ATR: Length 14 Smoothing RMA
1. Wait for 50ema to crossover 200 ema – Then wait for candle to touch 50 ema after the cross.
2. Entry: Green candle that closes above 50 ema without getting more than 3 candles closing below(BUY) or above (SELL) 50ema.
3. Stop loss: 2x ATR value below entry candle.
4. Take profit: 1.5x the risk.
Settings allow for # of Entries allowed per trend as well as EMA periods.
Opposite for Sell Entries (Stop Loss: 2x ATR value above entry candle)
How to use Leverage and Margin in PineScriptEn route to being absolutely the best and most complete trading platform out there, TradingView has just closed 2 gaps in their PineScript language.
It is now possible to create and backtest a strategy for trading with leverage.
Backtester now produces Margin Calls - so recognizes mid-trade drawdown and if it is too big for the broker to maintain your trade, some part of if will be instantly closed.
New additions were announced in official blogpost , but it lacked code examples, so I have decided to publish this script. Having said that - this is purely educational stuff.
█ LEVERAGE
Let's start with the Leverage. I will discuss this assuming we are always entering trades with some percentage of our equity balance (default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity), not fixed order quantity.
If you want to trade with 1:1 leverage (so no leverage) and enter a trade with all money in your trading account, then first line of your strategy script must include this parameter:
default_qty_value = 100 // which stands for 100%
Now, if you want to trade with 30:1 leverage, you need to multipy the quantity by 30x, so you'd get 30 x 100 = 3000:
default_qty_value = 3000 // which stands for 3000%
And you can play around with this value as you wish, so if you want to enter each trade with 10% equity on 15:1 leverage you'd get default_qty_value = 150.
That's easy. Of course you can modify this quantity value not only in the script, but also afterwards in Script Settings popup, "Properties" tab.
█ MARGIN
Second newly released feature is Margin calculation together with Margin Calls. If the market goes against your trades and your trading account cannot maintain mid-trade drawdown - those trades will be closed in full or partly. Also, if your trading account cannot afford to open more trades (pyramiding those trades), Margin mechanism will prevent them from being entered.
I will not go into details about how Margin calculation works, it was all explainged in above mentioned blogpost and documentation .
All you need to do is to add two parameters to the opening line of your script:
margin_long = 1./30*50, margin_short = 1./30*50
Whereas "30" is a leverage scale as in 30:1, and "50" stands for 50% of Margin required by your broker. Personally the Required Margin number I've met most often is 50%, so I'm using value 50 here, but there are literally 1000+ brokers in this world and this is individual decision by each of them, so you'd better ask yourself.
--------------------
Please note, that if you ever encounter a strategy which triggers Margin Call at least once, then it is probably a very bad strategy. Margin Call is a last resort, last security measure - all the risks should be calculated by the strategy algorithm before it is ever hit. So if you see a Margin Call being triggred, then something is wrong with risk management of the strategy. Therefore - don't use it!
