Uptrick: Time Based ReversionIntroduction
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum and potential trend shifts by combining multiple moving averages, a streak-based trend analysis system, and adaptive color visualization. It helps traders identify strong trends, spot potential reversals, and make more informed trading decisions.
Purpose
The primary goal of this indicator is to assist traders in distinguishing between sustained market movements and short-lived fluctuations. By evaluating how price behaves relative to its moving averages, and by measuring consecutive streaks above or below these averages, the indicator highlights areas where trends are likely to continue or lose momentum.
Overview
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion calculates one or more moving averages of price data and then tracks the number of consecutive bars (streaks) above or below these averages. This streak-based detection provides insight into whether a trend is gaining strength or nearing a potential reversal point. The indicator offers:
• Multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA)
• Optional second and third moving average layers for additional smoothing of first moving average
• A streak detection system to quantify trend intensity
• A dynamic color scheme that changes with streak strength
• Optional buy and sell signals for potential trade entries and exits
• A ribbon mode that applies moving averages to Open, High, Low, and Close prices for a more detailed visualization of overall trend alignment
Originality and Uniqueness
Unlike traditional moving average indicators, Uptrick: Time Based Reversion incorporates a streak measurement system to detect trend strength. This approach helps clarify whether a price movement is merely a quick fluctuation or part of a longer-lasting trend. Additionally, the optional ribbon mode extends this logic to Open, High, Low, and Close prices, creating a layered and intuitive visualization that shows complete trend alignment.
Inputs and Features
1. Enable Ribbon Mode
This input lets you activate or deactivate the ribbon display of multiple moving averages. When enabled, the script plots moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices and uses color fills to show whether these four data points are collectively above or below their respective moving averages.
2. Color Scheme Selection
Users can choose from several predefined color schemes, such as Default, Emerald, Crimson, Sapphire, Gold, Purple, Teal, Orange, Gray, Lime, or Aqua. Each scheme assigns distinct bullish, bearish and neutral colors..
3. Show Buy/Sell Signals
The indicator can display buy or sell signals based on its streak analysis logic. These signals appear as markers on the chart, indicating a “Safe Uptrend” (buy) or “Safe Downtrend” (sell).
4. Moving Average Types and Lengths
• First MA Type and Length: Choose SMA, EMA, or WMA along with a customizable period.
• Second and Third MA Types and Lengths: You can optionally stack additional moving averages for further smoothing, each with its own customizable type and period.
5. Streak Threshold Multiplier
This numeric input determines how strong a streak must be before the script considers it a “safe” trend. A higher multiplier requires a longer or more intense streak for a buy or sell signal.
6. Dynamic Transparency Calculation
The color intensity adapts to the streak’s strength. Longer streaks increase the transparency of the opposing color, making the current dominant color stand out. This feature ensures that a vigorous uptrend or downtrend is visually distinct from short-lived or weaker moves.
7. Ribbon Moving Averages
In ribbon mode, the script calculates moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices. Each of these is optionally smoothed again if the second and/or third moving average layers are active. The final result is a ribbon of moving averages that helps confirm whether the market is uniformly aligned above or below these key reference points.
Calculation Methodology
1. Initial Moving Average
The script calculates the first moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) of the closing price over a user-defined period.
2. Optional Secondary and Tertiary Averages
If selected, the script then applies a second and/or third smoothing step. Each of these steps can be a different type of moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) with its own period length.
3. Streak Detection
The indicator counts consecutive bars above or below the smoothed moving average. A running total (streakUp or streakDown) increments with every bar that remains above or below that average.
4. Reversion Intensity
The script compares the current streak value to its own average (calculated over the final chosen period). This ratio determines whether the streak is nearing a likely reversion or is strong enough to continue.
5. Color Assignment and Signals
The indicator calculates color transparency based on streak intensity. Buy and sell signals appear when the streak meets or exceeds the threshold multiplier, indicating a safe uptrend or downtrend.
Color Schemes and Visualization
This indicator offers multiple predefined color sets. Each scheme specifies a unique bullish color, bearish color and neutral color. The script automatically varies transparency to highlight strong trends and fade weaker ones, making it visually clear when a trend is intensifying or losing momentum.
Smoothing Techniques
By allowing up to three layers of moving average smoothing, the indicator accommodates different trading styles. A single layer provides faster reactions to market changes, while more layers reduce noise at the cost of slower responsiveness. Traders can choose the right balance between responsiveness and stability for their strategy, whether it is short-term scalping or long-term trend following.
Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator strategically combines specific smoothing techniques—SMA, EMA, and WMA—to leverage their complementary strengths. The SMA provides stable and consistent trend identification by equally weighting all data points, while the EMA emphasizes recent price movements, allowing quicker responses to market changes. WMA enhances sensitivity to recent price shifts, which helps in detecting subtle momentum changes early. By integrating these methods in layers, the indicator effectively balances responsiveness with stability, helping traders clearly identify genuine trend changes while filtering out short-term noise and false signals.
Ribbon Mode
If Open, High, Low, and Close prices remain above or below their respective moving averages consistently, the script colors the bars fully bullish or bearish. When the data points are mixed, a neutral color is applied. This mode provides a thorough perspective on whether the entire price range is aligned in one direction or showing conflicting signals.
Summary
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion combines multiple moving averages, streak detection, and dynamic color adjustments to help traders identify significant trends and potential reversal areas. Its flexibility allows it to be used either in a simpler form, with one moving average and streak analysis, or in a more advanced configuration with ribbon mode that charts multiple smoothed averages for a deeper understanding of price alignment. By adapting color intensities based on streak strength and providing optional buy/sell signals, this indicator delivers a clear and flexible tool suited to various trading strategies.

IBS (Internal Bar Strength) Trading Strategy for SPY and NDQImplementation by AlgoTradeKit
Overview
The IBS Trading Strategy is a daily bars long-only trading system, based on the concept of Internal Bar Strength (IBS). The strategy aims to identify potential reversals by monitoring how the previous bar’s close positions itself within its high-low range. It is suitable for stock and US indices. The default parameters are optimized for SPY/SPX and NDQ/QQQ
Strategy Concept
The Internal Bar Strength (IBS) is calculated using the formula:
IBS = (Previous Close - Previous Low) / (Previous High - Previous Low)
This value always lies between 0 and 1. An IBS value below 0.2 is typically interpreted as an oversold condition, while a value above 0.9 suggests an overbought state.
Trading Rules
- Long Entry :
- Condition 1 : IBS is below the user-defined entry threshold (default is 0.2).
- Condition 2 : The current price is above an N-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (default period is 252).
- Note : You can disable the EMA condition by setting the EMA period to 0.
- Long Exit
- The position is closed when IBS rises above the user-defined exit threshold (default is 0.9).
Customization Options
- IBS Entry Threshold : Adjust to set the sensitivity for entering a long trade based on oversold conditions.
- IBS Exit Threshold : Customize to define the exit point when the market becomes overbought.
- EMA Period : Set the lookback period for the EMA to align with your trend bias; disable this condition by setting the period to 0.
Risk Management & Trading Considerations
- Designed for daily charts, the strategy captures higher timeframe trends and minimizes noise.
- The entry and exit conditions are straightforward, aiming to avoid over-trading while letting clear signals dictate trade management.
- Always use proper risk management techniques and test the strategy thoroughly on historical data and in a simulated environment before applying it in live markets.

3 Red / 3 Green Strategy with Volatility CheckStrategy Name: 3 Red / 3 Green Strategy with Volatility Check by AlgoTradeKit
Overview
This long-only strategy is designed for daily bars on NASDAQ (or similar instruments) and combines simple price action with a volatility filter. It “tells it like it is” – enter when the market shows weakness, but only in sufficiently volatile conditions, and exit either on signs of a reversal or after a set number of days.
Entry Conditions
- Price Action :
Enter a long position when there are 3 consecutive red days (each day's close is below its open).
- Volatility Filter :
The entry is allowed only if the current ATR (Average True Range) calculated over the specified ATR Period (default 12) is greater than its 30-day simple moving average. This ensures the market has enough volatility to justify the trade.
Exit Conditions
- Reversal Signal :
Exit the long position when 3 consecutive green days occur (each day's close is above its open), signaling a potential reversal.
- Time Limit :
Regardless of market conditions, any open trade is closed if it reaches the Maximum Trade Duration (default 22 days). This helps limit exposure during stagnant or unfavorable market conditions.
- You can toggle the three-green-day exit if you want to isolate the time-based exit.
Input Parameters
- Maximum Trade Duration (days): Default is 22 days.
- ATR Period: Default is 12.
- Use 3 Green Days Exit: Toggle to enable or disable the three-green-day exit condition.
How It Works
1. Entry: The strategy monitors daily price action for 3 consecutive down days. When this occurs and if the market is volatile enough (current ATR > 30-day ATR average), it opens a long position.
2. Exit: The position is closed if the price action reverses with 3 consecutive up days or if the trade has been open for the maximum allowed duration - i.e. use it on daily chart.
Risk Management
- The built-in maximum trade duration prevents trades from lingering too long in a non-trending or consolidating market.
- The volatility filter helps ensure that trades are only taken when there is sufficient price movement, potentially increasing the odds of a meaningful move.
Disclaimer
This strategy is provided “as is” without any warranties. It is essential to backtest and validate the performance on your specific instrument and market conditions before deploying live capital. Trading involves significant risk, and you should adjust parameters to match your risk tolerance.
Test and tweak this strategy to see if it fits your trading style and market conditions. Happy trading!

[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy" is a contrarian trading system aimed at exploiting overextended bullish moves in stocks and ETFs. It monitors the number of consecutive bars that close above a chosen short-term moving average (which can be either a Simple Moving Average or an Exponential Moving Average). Once the count reaches a preset threshold and the current bar’s close exceeds the previous bar’s high within a designated trading window, a short entry is initiated. An optional EMA filter further refines entries by requiring that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, helping to ensure that trades are taken in a bearish environment.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy utilizes a counter variable, `bullCount`, to track consecutive bullish bars based on their relation to the short-term moving average. Here’s how the count is determined:
Initialize the Counter
The counter is initialized at the start:
var int bullCount = na
Bullish Bar Detection
For each bar, if the close is above the selected moving average (either SMA or EMA, based on user input), the counter is incremented:
bullCount := close > signalMa ? (na(bullCount) ? 1 : bullCount + 1) : 0
Reset on Non-Bullish Condition
If the close does not exceed the moving average, the counter resets to zero, indicating a break in the consecutive bullish streak.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A short signal is generated when:
The number of consecutive bullish bars (i.e., bars closing above the short-term MA) meets or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The current bar’s close is higher than the previous bar’s high.
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
Additionally, if the EMA filter is enabled, the entry is only executed when the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit signal is triggered when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low, prompting the strategy to close the short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish bars required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).

Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+ [Alpha Extract]Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+
The AE's Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+ is designed to detect momentum shifts and divergence patterns, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points. By normalizing momentum readings and applying divergence detection, it enhances market timing for entries and exits.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator calculates normalized momentum using a combination of Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) and volatility-adjusted smoothing techniques. It highlights overbought and oversold conditions while identifying bullish and bearish divergences.
Core Calculation:
ATR-based volatility adjustment ensures dynamic sensitivity.
DPO is derived from the price minus a simple moving average (SMA) to isolate cyclical movements.
Momentum score is normalized using historical max values for consistent scaling.
Thresholds are dynamically adjusted based on average absolute momentum.
dpo = close - ma
sd = (dpo / volatility) * 100
normalizedSD = sd / maxAbsSD
The momentum score is plotted as a histogram, where:
Green bars indicate strong upward momentum.
Red bars indicate strong downward momentum.
Neutral values fade into gray.
🔶 DETAILS
📊 Visual Features:
Histogram bars dynamically color-coded based on momentum strength.
Threshold bands provide reference points for overbought and oversold levels.
Divergence markers (Bullish/Bearish & Hidden Bullish/Bearish) highlight key reversal signals.
🛠 How Divergences Work:
Bullish Divergence (𝓞𝓢): Price makes a lower low while momentum makes a higher low.
Bearish Divergence (𝓞𝓑): Price makes a higher high while momentum makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences confirm trend continuations rather than reversals.
📌 Example of Divergence Logic:
bullishDiv = (low == priceLow) and (sd > momentumLow)
bearishDiv = (high == priceHigh) and (sd < momentumHigh)
🔶 EXAMPLES
📍 The chart below illustrates price reacting to momentum divergences, identifying potential tops and bottoms before major price moves.
📌 Example snapshots:
A bullish divergence leading to a reversal in price.
A bearish divergence marking the beginning of a downtrend.

Analyze The Market: Observe how price interacts with Fibonacci levels alongside the volume profile to confirm support/resistance zones. Switch between custom range or continuous mode to align the tool with your trading style.
⚙️ How It Works
The indicator calculates pivot highs/lows dynamically (or uses user-defined time periods) to plot Fibonacci retracement levels. It then builds a volume profile by analyzing historical volume data, grouping it into price bins to highlight volume-heavy zones. The Point of Control (PoC) is identified as the level with the highest traded volume, acting as a key price magnet. The color-coded Fibonacci levels help traders spot retracement zones, while the volume profile confirms strength or weakness in those areas.
AE - ATR Exhaustion ChannelAE - ATR Exhaustion Channel
📈 Overview
Identify Exhaustion Zones & Trend Breakouts with ATR Precision!
The AE - ATR Exhaustion Channel is a powerful volatility-based trading tool that combines an averaged SMA with ATR bands to dynamically highlight potential trend exhaustion zones. It provides real-time breakout detection by marking when price moves beyond key volatility bands, helping traders spot overextensions and reversals with ease.
🔑 Key Features
✔️ ATR-SMA Hybrid Channel: Uses an averaged SMA as the core trend filter while incorporating adaptive ATR-based bands for precise volatility tracking.
✔️ Dynamic Exhaustion Markers: Marks red crosses when price exceeds the upper band and green crosses when price drops below the lower band.
✔️ Customizable ATR Sensitivity: Adjust the ATR multiplier and length settings to fine-tune band sensitivity based on market conditions.
✔️ Clear Channel Visualization: A gray SMA midpoint and a blue-filled ATR band zone make it easy to track market structure.
📚 How It Works
1️⃣ Averaged SMA Calculation: The script calculates an averaged SMA over a user-defined range (min/max period). This smooths out short-term fluctuations while preserving trend direction.
2️⃣ ATR Band Construction: The ATR value (adjusted by a multiplier) is added to/subtracted from the SMA to form dynamic upper and lower volatility bands.
3️⃣ Exhaustion Detection:
If high > upper ATR band, a red cross is plotted (potential overextension).
If low < lower ATR band, a green cross is plotted (potential reversal zone).
4️⃣ Filled ATR Channel: The area between the upper and lower bands is shaded blue, providing a visual trading range.
🎨 Customization & Settings
⚙️ ATR Length – Adjusts the ATR calculation period (default: 14).
⚙️ ATR Multiplier – Scales the ATR bands for tighter or wider volatility tracking (default: 0.8, adjustable in 0.1 steps).
⚙️ SMA Range (Min/Max Length) – Defines the period range for calculating the averaged SMA (default: 5-20).
⚙️ Rolling Lookback Length – Controls how far back the high/low comparison is calculated (default: 50 bars).
🚀 Practical Usage
📌 Spotting Exhaustion Zones – Look for red/green markers appearing outside the ATR bands, signaling potential trend exhaustion and possible reversal opportunities.
📌 Breakout Confirmation – Price consistently breaching the upper band with momentum could indicate continuation, while repeated touches without strong closes may hint at reversal zones.
📌 Trend Reversal Signals – Watch for green markers below the lower band in uptrends (buy signals) and red markers above the upper band in downtrends (sell signals).
🔔 Alerts & Notifications
📢 Set Alerts for Exhaustion Signals!
Traders can configure alerts to trigger when price breaches the ATR bands, allowing for instant notifications when volatility-based exhaustion is detected.
📊 Example Scenarios
✔ Trend Exhaustion in Overextended Moves – A series of red crosses near resistance may indicate a short opportunity.

Monitor the Charts , switch between smoothed and I smoothed modes to identify trend and price swings, use divergences and reversal signals for potential entry/exits.
Set alerts for bullish/bearish crossovers and divergence signals to stay ahead of market moves.
⚙ How It Works :
The indicator begins by applying a Hilbert Transform frequency estimation to the price series, identifying the dominant market cycle length. This is used to calculate a period for the RSI that matches its resonant frequency with the dominant market frequency, dynamically adjusting the Oscillator. The oscillator then applies an optional Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for signal refinement. Additionally, the indicator scans for bullish and bearish divergences by comparing oscillator movements against price action, plotting signals accordingly. When overbought/oversold conditions or divergence events occur, alerts are triggered to notify the trader in real time.
Overextension Oscillator [by DanielM]The Overextension Oscillator is an indicator that detects when a market move has extended significantly beyond its typical range, signaling potential areas for a correction or reversal. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on fixed overbought/oversold levels, this tool dynamically adjusts its thresholds based on historical swing high and swing low movements.
By analyzing all swing points on the chart, the indicator determines the expected range of price movements and identifies when the price extends beyond normal levels. Since every asset has different price behavior and volatility, swing lengths may vary from asset to asset, ensuring that overextension is measured relative to each market's historical price behavior.
How It Works
1️⃣ Swing Detection & Data Collection
The indicator scans all available swing highs and swing lows on the chart to gather a complete dataset of past price fluctuations.
It records the percentage differences between swings to determine how much price typically moves in a given market.
2️⃣ Overextension Calculation
Using the stored swing data, the indicator calculates:
Average Swing Difference – Measures the average percentage difference between swings.
Average Move Percentage – Determines the typical magnitude of price moves within a trend cycle.
These values are used to create dynamic overextension thresholds that adjust based on historical data.
3️⃣ Price Distance & Overextension Measurement
The indicator calculates the distance between the current price and the closest historical swing point. If this distance exceeds the predefined threshold based on past swings, the move is considered overextended. The greater the deviation, the higher the probability of a pullback or short-term reversal.
4️⃣ Buy/Sell Signal Generation
A Buy signal is generated when the price has dropped below an overextended threshold relative to a past swing low.
A Sell signal is generated when the price has risen beyond an overextended threshold relative to a past swing high.
These signals indicate that the price has reached a level where it historically tends to slow down or reverse.
Two-Pole Oscillator [BigBeluga]
The Two-Pole Oscillator is an advanced smoothing oscillator designed to provide traders with precise market signals by leveraging deviation-based calculations combined with a unique two-pole filtering technique. It offers clear visual representation and actionable signals for smart trading decisions.
🔵Key Features:
Two-Pole Filtering: Smooths out the main oscillator signal to reduce noise, providing a cleaner and more reliable view of market momentum and trend strength.
// Two-pole smooth filter function
f_two_pole_filter(source, length) =>
var float smooth1 = na
var float smooth2 = na
alpha = 2.0 / (length + 1)
if na(smooth1)
smooth1 := source
else
smooth1 := (1 - alpha) * smooth1 + alpha * source
if na(smooth2)
smooth2 := smooth1
else
smooth2 := (1 - alpha) * smooth2 + alpha * smooth1
Deviation-Based Oscillator: Utilizes price deviations from the mean to generate dynamic signals, making it ideal for detecting overbought and oversold conditions.
float sma1 = ta.sma(close, 25)
float sma_n1 = ((close - sma1) - ta.sma(close - sma1, 25)) / ta.stdev(close - sma1, 25)
Signal Gradient Strength: Signals on the main oscillator line feature gradient coloring based on their proximity to the 0 level:
➔ Closer to 0: More transparent, indicating weaker signals.
➔ Closer to 1 or -1: Less transparent, highlighting stronger signals.
Level-Based Signal Validation: Parallel levels are plotted on the chart for each signal:
➔ If a level is crossed by price, the signal is invalidated, marked by an "X" at the invalidation point.
Trend Continuation
Invalidation Levels: Serve as potential stop-loss or trade-reversal zones, enabling traders to make more informed and disciplined trading decisions.
Dynamic Chart Plotting: Signals are plotted directly on the chart with corresponding levels, providing a comprehensive visual representation for easy interpretation.
🔵How It Works:
The oscillator calculates price deviation from a mean value and applies two-pole filtering to smooth the resulting signal.
Gradient-colored signals reflect their strength, with transparency indicating proximity to the 0 level on the oscillator scale.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on crossovers and crossunders of the oscillator line with a signal line.
If a level is crossed, the corresponding signal is marked with a "X" plotted on the chart at the crossover point.
🔵Use Cases:
Detecting overbought or oversold market conditions with a smoother, noise-free oscillator.
Using invalidation levels to set clear stop-loss or trade exit points.
Identifying strong momentum signals and filtering out weaker, less reliable ones.
Combining oscillator signals with price action for more precise trade entries and exits.
This indicator is perfect for traders seeking a refined approach to oscillator analysis, combining signal strength visualization with actionable invalidation levels to enhance trading precision and strategy.
Bearish Wick Reversal█ STRATEGY OVERVIEW
The "Bearish Wick Reversal Strategy" identifies potential bullish reversals following significant bearish price rejection (long lower wicks). This counter-trend approach enters long positions when bearish candles show exaggerated downside wicks relative to closing prices, then exits on bullish confirmation signals. Includes optional EMA trend filtering for improved reliability.
█ What is a Bearish Wick?
A price rejection pattern where:
Bearish candle (close < open) forms with extended lower wick
Wick represents failed selloff: Low drops significantly below close
Measured as: (Low - Close)/Close × 100 (Negative percentage indicates downward extension)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY CONDITION
Bearish candle forms with close < open
Lower wick exceeds user-defined threshold (Default: -1% of close price)
The signal occurs within the specified time window
If enabled, the close price must also be above the 200-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Ideal Market: Volatile instruments with frequent price rejections
Key Risk: False signals in sustained bearish trends
Optimization Tip: Test various thresholds
Filter Impact: EMA reduces trades but improves win rate and reduces drawdown

Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify trading opportunities based on the closing price's position within the daily price range. It enters a long position when the IBS indicates oversold conditions and exits when the IBS reaches overbought levels. This strategy was designed to be used on the daily timeframe.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
- **Low IBS (≤ 0.2)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- **High IBS (≥ 0.8)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The IBS value drops below the Lower Threshold (default: 0.2).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the IBS value rises to or above the Upper Threshold (default: 0.8). This prompts the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Upper Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy exits trades. Default is 0.8.
Lower Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy enters long positions. Default is 0.2.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for ranging markets and performs best when prices frequently revert to the mean.
It is sensitive to extreme IBS values, which help identify potential reversals.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the Upper/Lower Thresholds for specific instruments and market conditions.
