📈 Ultimate Scalper v2
Strategy Type: Trend-Pullback Scalping
Indicators Used: EMA (12/21), MACD Histogram, ADX, ATR
Platform: TradingView (Pine Script v5)
Author: robinunga16
🎯 Strategy Overview
The Ultimate Scalper v2 is a scalping strategy that catches pullbacks within short-term trends using a dynamic combination of 12/21 EMA bands, MACD Histogram crossovers, and ADX for trend confirmation. It uses ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit levels, making it suitable for volatility-sensitive environments.
🧠 Logic Breakdown
🔍 Trend Detection
Uses the 12 EMA and 21 EMA to identify the short-term trend:
Uptrend: EMA 12 > EMA 21 and ADX > threshold
Downtrend: EMA 12 < EMA 21 and ADX > threshold
The ADX (default: 25) filters out low-momentum environments.
📉 Pullback Identification
Once a trend is detected:
A pullback is flagged when the MACD Histogram moves against the trend (below 0 in uptrend, above 0 in downtrend).
An entry signal is triggered when the histogram crosses back through zero (indicating momentum is resuming in the trend direction).
🟢 Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
EMA 12 > EMA 21
ADX > threshold
MACD Histogram was below 0 and crosses above 0
Short Entry:
EMA 12 < EMA 21
ADX > threshold
MACD Histogram was above 0 and crosses below 0
❌ Exit Logic (ATR-based)
The strategy calculates stop-loss and take-profit levels using ATR at the time of entry:
Stop-Loss: Entry Price −/+ ATR × Multiplier
Take-Profit: Entry Price ± ATR × 2 × Multiplier
Default ATR Multiplier: 1.0
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
ADX Threshold: Minimum trend strength for trades (default: 25)
ATR Multiplier: Controls SL/TP distance (default: 1.0)
📊 Visuals
EMA 12 and EMA 21 band can be added manually for visual reference.
Entry and exit signals are plotted via TradingView’s built-in backtesting engine.

CVD Trend IndikatorCVD Trend Indicator (Cumulative Volume Delta)
This Pine Script indicator is designed to help traders visualize the underlying buying and selling pressure in the market by analyzing the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It provides insights into whether buyers or sellers are more aggressive over time, aiding in trend confirmation and potential reversal identification.
How it Works:
The indicator calculates the Cumulative Volume Delta for each candlestick.
If the candle closes higher than it opened (close > open), its entire volume is considered buying volume (positive delta).
If the candle closes lower than it opened (close < open), its entire volume is considered selling volume (negative delta).
If the candle closes at the same price it opened (close == open), its delta is considered zero.
These individual candle deltas are then cumulatively summed up over time, creating the CVD line. A rising CVD indicates increasing buying pressure, while a falling CVD suggests growing selling pressure.
The indicator also features an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the CVD, which helps smooth out the CVD line and identify the prevailing trend in buying/selling pressure more clearly.
Key Features:
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Line:
Rising CVD (Blue Line): Indicates aggressive buying pressure is dominant, supporting bullish price action.
Falling CVD (Blue Line): Suggests aggressive selling pressure is dominant, supporting bearish price action.
CVD Moving Average (Red Line, optional):
A user-defined SMA of the CVD, which acts as a trend filter for the volume delta.
When the CVD crosses above its MA, it can signal increasing buying momentum.
When the CVD crosses below its MA, it can signal increasing selling momentum.
Session Reset:
The CVD automatically resets at the beginning of each new trading session (daily by default). This provides a fresh perspective on the day's accumulated buying or selling pressure, which is particularly useful for day traders.
Background Color Visuals:
The indicator panel's background changes color to visually represent periods of dominant buying pressure (green background when CVD > CVD MA) or selling pressure (red background when CVD < CVD MA), offering a quick glance at the market's underlying bias.
Trading Insights:
Trend Confirmation: Use a rising CVD (and its MA) to confirm an uptrend, or a falling CVD (and its MA) to confirm a downtrend.
Divergences: Look for CVD Divergences as potential reversal signals:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but CVD makes a higher low (suggests selling pressure is weakening).
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but CVD makes a lower high (suggests buying pressure is weakening).
Momentum Shifts: Sudden, sharp changes in the CVD's direction or its cross over/under its MA can signal shifts in market momentum.
Support/Resistance Confirmation: Observe CVD behavior around key price levels. Weakening buying pressure at resistance or weakening selling pressure at support can confirm the strength of these levels.
Customization:
showMA: Toggle the visibility of the CVD's Moving Average.
maLength: Adjust the period for the CVD's Moving Average to control its sensitivity to recent price action. A shorter length makes it more reactive, while a longer length makes it smoother.
Disclaimer: No indicator is foolproof. Always use the CVD Trend Indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, price action, and robust risk management strategies. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial for understanding its effectiveness in different market conditions and timeframes.
Kaufman Trend Strength Signal█ Overview
Kaufman Trend Strength Signal is an advanced trend detection tool that decomposes price action into its underlying directional trend and localized oscillation using a vector-based Kalman Filter.
By integrating adaptive smoothing and dynamic weighting via a weighted moving average (WMA), this indicator provides real-time insight into both trend direction and trend strength — something standard moving averages often fail to capture.
The core model assumes that observed price consists of two components:
(1) a directional trend, and
(2) localized noise or oscillation.
Using a two-step Predict & Update cycle, the filter continuously refines its trend estimate as new market data becomes available.
█ How It Works
This indicator employs a Kalman Filter model that separates the trend from short-term fluctuations in a price series.
Predict & Update Cycle : With each new bar, the filter predicts the price state and updates that prediction using the latest observed price, producing a smooth but adaptive trend line.
Trend Strength Normalization : Internally, the oscillator component is normalized against recent values (N periods) to calculate a trend strength score between -100 and +100.
(Note: The oscillator is not plotted on the chart but is used for signal generation.)
Filtered MA Line : The trend component is plotted as a smooth Kalman Filter-based moving average (MA) line on the main chart.
Threshold Cross Signals : When the internal trend strength crosses a user-defined threshold (default: ±60), visual entry arrows are displayed to signal momentum shifts.
█ Key Features
Adaptive Trend Estimation : Real-time filtering that adjusts dynamically to market changes.
Visual Buy/Sell Signals : Entry arrows appear when the trend strength crosses above or below the configured threshold.
Built-in Range Filter : The MA line turns blue when trend strength is weak (|value| < 10), helping you filter out choppy, sideways conditions.
█ How to Use
Trend Detection :
• Green MA = bullish trend
• Red MA = bearish trend
• Blue MA = no trend / ranging market
Entry Signals :
• Green triangle = trend strength crossed above +Threshold → potential bullish entry
• Red triangle = trend strength crossed below -Threshold → potential bearish entry
█ Settings
Entry Threshold : Level at which the trend strength triggers entry signals (default: 60)
Process Noise 1 & 2 : Control the filter’s responsiveness to recent price action. Higher = more reactive; lower = smoother.
Measurement Noise : Sets how much the filter "trusts" price data. High = smoother MA, low = faster response but more noise.
Trend Lookback (N2) : Number of bars used to normalize trend strength. Lower = more sensitive; higher = more stable.
Trend Smoothness (R2) : WMA smoothing applied to the trend strength calculation.
█ Visual Guide
Green MA Line → Bullish trend
Red MA Line → Bearish trend
Blue MA Line → Sideways/range
Green Triangle → Entry signal (trend strengthening)
Red Triangle → Entry signal (trend weakening)
█ Best Practices
In high-volatility conditions, increase Measurement Noise to reduce false signals.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, EMA) for confirmation and filtering.
Adjust "Entry Threshold" and noise settings depending on your timeframe and trading style.

Codigo Trading 1.0📌Codigo Trading 1.0
This indicator strategically combines SuperTrend, multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR) to offer clear entry and exit signals, as well as an in-depth view of market trends. Ideal for traders looking to optimize their operations with an all-in-one tool.
🔩How the Indicator Works:
This indicator relies on the interaction and confirmation of several key components to generate signals:
SuperTrend: Determines the primary trend direction. An uptrend SuperTrend signal (green line) indicates an upward trend, while a downtrend (red line) signals a downward trend. It also serves as a guide for setting Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
EMAs: Includes EMAs of 10, 20, 55, 100, 200, and 325 periods. The relationship between the EMA 10 and EMA 20 is fundamental for confirming the strength and direction of movements. An EMA 10 above the EMA 20 suggests an uptrend, and vice versa. Longer EMAs act as dynamic support and resistance levels, offering a broader view of the market structure.
RSI: Used to identify overbought (RSI > 70/80) and oversold (RSI < 30/20) conditions, generating "Take Profit" alerts for potential trade closures.
ATR: Monitors market volatility to help you manage exits. ATR exit signals are triggered when volatility changes direction, indicating a possible exhaustion of the movement.
🗒️Entry and Exit Signals:
I designed specific alerts based on all the indicators I use in conjunction:
Long Entries: When SuperTrend is bullish and EMA 10 crosses above EMA 20.
Short Entries: When SuperTrend is bearish and EMA 10 crosses below EMA 20.
RSI Exits (Take Profit): Indicated by "TP" labels on the chart, when the RSI reaches extreme levels (overbought for longs, oversold for shorts).
EMA 20 Exits: When the price closes below EMA 20 (for longs) or above EMA 20 (for shorts).
ATR Exits: When the ATR changes direction, signaling a possible decrease in momentum.
📌Key Benefits:
Clarity in Trend: Quickly identifies market direction with SuperTrend and EMA alignment.
Strategic Entry and Exit Signals: Receive timely alerts to optimize your entry and exit points.
Assisted Trade Management: RSI and ATR help you consider when to take profits or exit a position.
Intuitive Visualization: Arrows, labels, and colored lines make analysis easy to interpret.

The Institutional Intraday Master is a custom TradingView script that helps you:
• Spot when big institutions (like hedge funds) might be buying or selling.
• Identify important price levels based on recent trading activity.
• Get clear buy (“INST LONG”) and sell (“INST SHORT”) signals.
• Manage risk with automatic stop (invalidation) signals.
2. Key Acronyms & Terms
Acronym Meaning
RSI Relative Strength Index (momentum measure)
POC Point of Control (price with most volume)
VAH Value Area High (top of high-volume zone)
VAL Value Area Low (bottom of high-volume zone)
ATR Average True Range (volatility measure)
MACD Moving Average Convergence Divergence
3. How to Add the Script to TradingView
1. Copy the full Pine Script code (see previous answer).
2. Open TradingView and go to the chart of your chosen stock or ETF (e.g., SPY, AAPL).
3. Click Pine Editor at the bottom of the screen.
4. Paste the code into the editor.
5. Click Add to Chart (or “Save” then “Add to Chart”).
6. The indicator will appear on your chart with colored backgrounds, lines, and buy/sell signals.
4. What Do the Visuals Mean?
• Green Background:
Institutions are likely buying (bullish bias).
• Red Background:
Institutions are likely selling (bearish bias).
• Purple Dots (POC):
The price where the most volume traded in the last 30 bars (often a “magnet” for price).
• Gray Lines (VAH/VAL):
The top and bottom of the high-volume area—think of these as “fair value” boundaries.
• Blue Lines:
Recent breakout levels (upper = bullish breakout, lower = bearish breakout).
• Green “INST LONG” Label:
Suggested buy (long) entry.
• Red “INST SHORT” Label:
Suggested sell (short) entry.
5. How to Use for Day Trading
A. Setup
• Use a 5-minute or 15-minute chart for intraday trading.
• The indicator will automatically update key levels and signals.
B. Entry Signals
• Buy (Long):
• When you see a green “INST LONG” label, and the background is green.
• Example: Price breaks above the blue upper band with strong volume.
• Sell (Short):
• When you see a red “INST SHORT” label, and the background is red.
• Example: Price breaks below the blue lower band with strong volume.
C. Risk Management
• The script uses ATR (Average True Range) to suggest stop-loss distances.
• Stop out (invalidation):
• If you’re long and price closes below the gray VAL line or drops by more than 1 ATR from the last low, consider exiting.
• If you’re short and price closes above the gray VAH line or rises by more than 1 ATR from the last high, consider exiting.
D. Take Profit
• Consider taking profit at the next major volume level (POC, VAH/VAL) or when a reversal signal appears.
6. Example Trade
Let’s say you’re trading SPY on a 5-minute chart:
• The background turns green, and a green “INST LONG” label appears at $590.
• The purple POC dot is at $592, and the gray VAH is at $593.
• Trade Plan:
• Enter long at $590.
• Set a stop-loss at $588 (2 ATR below entry).
• Target $592 (POC) or $593 (VAH) for profit.
If price reaches $592 and starts to stall, you might take profit. If price falls to $588, you exit for a small loss.
7. Keys to Watch for Invalidation
• Invalidation means your trade setup is no longer valid.
• For longs:
• Price closes below VAL or makes a new low by more than 1 ATR.
• For shorts:
• Price closes above VAH or makes a new high by more than 1 ATR.
• Always honor your stop-loss!
8. Tips for Success
• Don’t trade every signal. Wait for confirmation (e.g., strong volume, trend in your favor).
• Practice on a simulator before using real money.
• Adjust settings (like ATR multiplier or volume profile length) to fit your style and the asset’s volatility.
