Madstrat Strategy - Dual TF# Madstrat Strategy - Dual TF: Complete User Guide
## Overview
The Madstrat Strategy indicator is a comprehensive forex trading system that identifies high-probability trade setups based on a day-counting methodology combined with multi-timeframe EMA alignment analysis. It generates two primary signal types:
1. **Day 3 Signals** - Based on the GSD/RSD (Green Setup Day/Red Setup Day) counting system
2. **Pure Price Action (PA) Signals** - Based on EMA alignment across multiple timeframes with EQ rejection
The indicator operates on **two timeframe combinations simultaneously**:
- **15-minute / 1-hour** combo
- **30-minute / 2-hour** combo
---
## Section 1: Timeframe Signals
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show 15m/1hr Signals | ✓ Enabled | Displays signals from the 15-minute LTF with 1-hour HTF confirmation |
| Show 30m/2hr Signals | ✓ Enabled | Displays signals from the 30-minute LTF with 2-hour HTF confirmation |
| Trade Levels Source | Most Recent | Determines which combo draws SL/TP levels |
### How It Works
Each timeframe combination operates independently with its own:
- Signal spacing rules (4 bars for 15m, 2 bars for 30m = both equal ~1 hour)
- Daily signal limits (3 Day 3 signals + 3 Pure PA signals per combo per day)
- EMA alignment checks on both LTF and HTF
**Trade Levels Source Options:**
- **15m/1hr** - Only 15m/1hr signals draw trade levels
- **30m/2hr** - Only 30m/2hr signals draw trade levels
- **Most Recent** - Whichever signal fires most recently draws levels (15m/1hr takes priority if both fire simultaneously)

| Day 3 Sell | Orange |
| Pure PA Buy | Lime |
| Pure PA Sell | Maroon |
---
## Section 3: Enhanced FBR Rules
### What is FBR?
**FBR (Failed Breakout Retest)** occurs when price breaks below the previous week's low (or above the previous week's high) but fails to close outside the range, closing back inside instead. This signals a potential reversal and resets the day count to "Day 1" of a new setup sequence.
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Enhanced FBR Rule | ✓ Enabled | Prevents FBR detection after a clean breakout |
| Show Clean Breakout Labels | ✓ Enabled | Displays labels when clean breakouts occur |
| Bull Breakout Label Color | Blue (25% transparent) | Background color for bullish breakout labels |
| Bear Breakout Label Color | Red (25% transparent) | Background color for bearish breakout labels |
### How Enhanced FBR Works
1. **Clean Breakout Detection**: A clean breakout occurs when price breaks AND closes outside the previous week's range
2. **FBR Blocking**: Once a clean breakout occurs in a week, FBR detection is disabled for the remainder of that week
3. **Weekly Reset**: Both clean breakout and FBR flags reset at the start of each new trading week (Sunday rollover)
### Label Types
- **"CLEAN BULL BO"** - Price broke above previous week high and closed above it
- **"CLEAN BEAR BO"** - Price broke below previous week low and closed below it
- **"FBR Day 1"** - Failed breakout retest detected, count reset to Day 1
---
## Section 4: Real-Time Day Labels
### Purpose
The real-time label shows a **live projection** of what today's day classification will be, updating throughout the trading session as price action develops.
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Real-Time Day Labels | ✓ Enabled | Shows dynamic label that updates during trading |
| Real-Time Label Position | Right | Position of label relative to current candle |
| Real-Time Label Background | Yellow (20% transparent) | Background color |
| Real-Time Label Text | White | Text color |
### Label Text Meanings
| Label | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| LIVE: GSD Day X | Projected Green Setup Day (after 2+ red days) |
| LIVE: GD Day X | Projected Green Day (continuing green trend) |
| LIVE: RSD Day X | Projected Red Setup Day (after 2+ green days) |
| LIVE: RD Day X | Projected Red Day (continuing red trend) |
| LIVE: INSIDE DAY | Price range is entirely within previous day's range |
| LIVE: FBR - GSD Day 1 | Bullish failed breakout retest detected |
| LIVE: FBR - RSD Day 1 | Bearish failed breakout retest detected |
| LIVE: ... CLEAN BULL BO | Clean bullish breakout detected |
| LIVE: ... CLEAN BEAR BO | Clean bearish breakout detected |

## Section 5: Daily Session Definition
### Instrument Presets
| Preset | Sunday Open | Friday Close | Rollover | Use Case |
|--------|-------------|--------------|----------|----------|
| Forex (FX Pairs) | 17:05 ET | 16:59 ET | 17:00 ET | EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc. |
| Metals (XAU/XAG) | 18:05 ET | 16:59 ET | 17:00 ET | Gold, Silver |
| Custom | User-defined | User-defined | User-defined | Other instruments |
### Why This Matters
The indicator uses **OANDA-style daily rollover** (5 PM Eastern) rather than UTC midnight. This ensures:
- Accurate day counting for forex markets
- Correct GSD/RSD classification
- Proper weekly level calculations
### Session Break Line
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show Session Break Line | ✓ Enabled | Draws vertical line at daily rollover |
| Session Break Line Color | Black | Line color |
| Width | 2 | Line thickness (1-5) |
| Style | Solid | Solid, dashed, or dotted |
---
## Section 6: Day Labels (GSD/RSD System)
### The Core Day Counting Methodology
This is the foundation of the Madstrat Strategy:
1. **Green Day (GD)**: Daily candle closes higher than it opened
2. **Red Day (RD)**: Daily candle closes lower than it opened
3. **Green Setup Day (GSD)**: A green day that follows 2 or more consecutive red days
4. **Red Setup Day (RSD)**: A red day that follows 2 or more consecutive green days
### The Day 3 Signal
**Day 3** is when the setup is "mature" and ready for a trade:
- **GSD Day 3**: Third consecutive green day after a red sequence of 2+ days
- **RSD Day 3**: Third consecutive red day after a green sequence of 2+ days
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Max Historical Labels | 60 | Number of day labels to retain on chart |
| Show Day of Week Labels | ✓ Enabled | Shows M O N, T U E, etc. |
| Label Position | Top | Top or bottom of chart |
| Label Hour | 6 | Hour (0-23) when day labels appear |
| GSD/GD Label Background | Blue (25% transparent) | Green day label color |
| RSD/RD Label Background | Red (25% transparent) | Red day label color |
| Inside Day Label Background | Gray (25% transparent) | Inside day label color |
### Important Notes
- **Inside Days** do not increment the count - they are neutral
- **FBR events** reset the count to Day 1 and establish a new trend direction
- **Clean Breakouts** also reset to Day 1 but block further FBR detection that week

## Section 7: Daily Levels
Displays the previous day's key price levels:
### Available Levels
| Level | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Previous Day's High (PDH) | ✓ Enabled, Blue | Highest price of previous session |
| Previous Day's Low (PDL) | ✓ Enabled, Green | Lowest price of previous session |
| Previous Day's EQ | ✓ Enabled, Black | Equilibrium (midpoint of PDH/PDL) |
| 75% Level | ✗ Disabled | 75% of previous day's range |
| 25% Level | ✗ Disabled | 25% of previous day's range |
### EQ Rejection (Critical for Signals)
The **EQ (Equilibrium)** level is crucial for signal generation:
- **Bullish EQ Rejection**: Price wicks down to touch EQ, then closes above it
- **Bearish EQ Rejection**: Price wicks up to touch EQ, then closes below it
The indicator tracks these rejections throughout the day and uses them as a key filter for both Day 3 and Pure PA signals.

**Bullish Alignment:**
```
Price > 9 EMA > 18 EMA > 50 EMA
```
**Bearish Alignment:**
```
Price < 9 EMA < 18 EMA < 50 EMA
```
This alignment must be present on **both** the LTF (15m or 30m) **and** the HTF (1hr or 2hr) for a signal to generate.

## Section 12: Signal Types Explained
### Day 3 Signals (Primary)
Day 3 signals come in two forms:
#### Day 3 Detected (Live)
Fires when the **current day is projected** to become Day 3 based on real-time price action. This is an early signal that may change if the daily candle reverses before close.
#### Day 3 Confirmed
Fires when Day 3 has been **officially confirmed** by the previous day's close. This is a more reliable signal as the day count is locked in.
**Requirements for Day 3 Buy:**
1. GSD Count = 3 (confirmed) OR Projected GSD Count = 3 (live)
2. Not an inside day (current or previous)
3. Recent bullish EQ rejection (within recency bars)
4. Bullish EMA alignment on LTF
5. Bullish EMA alignment on HTF
6. Adequate candle body (not all wick)
7. ADX above threshold (if enabled)
8. Within allowed session (if filter enabled)
9. Signal spacing requirement met
10. Less than 3 Day 3 signals already today for this combo
**Day 3 Sell** - Same requirements but bearish (RSD Count = 3, bearish alignment, bearish EQ rejection)
### Pure PA Signals (Secondary)
Pure PA signals also come in two forms:
#### Pure PA Detected (LTF Only)
Fires when the **lower timeframe conditions** are met but HTF confirmation is still pending. This is an early warning that a full signal may be imminent.
#### Pure PA Confirmed (LTF + HTF)
Fires when **both LTF and HTF** conditions are aligned. This is the full confirmation signal.
**Requirements for Pure PA Buy:**
1. Recent bullish EQ rejection
2. Bullish EMA alignment on LTF (Price > 9 > 18 > 50)
3. Bullish EMA alignment on HTF (Price > 9 > 18 > 50)
4. Adequate candle body ratio (≥30%)
5. ADX above threshold on LTF
6. Not currently an inside day
7. Signal spacing requirement met
8. Less than 3 Pure PA signals already today for this combo
9. Within allowed session (if filter enabled)
**Pure PA Sell** - Same requirements but bearish
---
## Section 13: Trade Levels
When a signal fires, the indicator can draw:
| Level | Style | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| Stop Loss (SL) | Red dashed | Entry price ± (ATR × 1.5) |
| Take Profit 1 | Green dashed | 1:1 Risk/Reward |
| Take Profit 2 | Green dotted | 2:1 Risk/Reward |
| Take Profit 3 | Green dotted | 3:1 Risk/Reward |
These levels use a 14-period ATR for the stop loss calculation.

## Troubleshooting
### No Signals Appearing?
Check the debug table for:
1. **EQ Rejection Recent** - Is there a recent EQ rejection?
2. **LTF/HTF Positioning** - Are EMAs properly aligned?
3. **GSD/RSD Count** - Is it actually Day 3?
4. **Currently Inside?** - Inside days block signals
5. **Signal Spacing OK** - Has enough time passed since last signal?
6. **ADX value** - Is it above the threshold?
### Day Labels Not Matching Expected Count?
- Verify **Instrument Preset** matches your trading instrument
- Check if an **FBR** or **Clean Breakout** reset the count
- **Inside days** don't increment the count
- Week resets occur at **Sunday 5 PM ET** for forex
### Alerts Not Firing?
1. Ensure **Enable Dynamic Alerts** is checked
2. Verify the specific alert type is enabled (D3 Detected, D3 Confirmed, etc.)
3. Check that the alert condition is properly set up in TradingView
4. Confirm signal filters (session, ADX) aren't blocking the signal
### Understanding Detected vs Confirmed
| Scenario | Detected Alert | Confirmed Alert |
|----------|----------------|-----------------|
| Current day projected to be Day 3, candle still open | ✓ Fires | ✗ Won't fire |
| Previous day closed as Day 3, conditions met today | ✓ May fire | ✓ Fires |
| LTF aligned, HTF not yet aligned | ✓ PA Detected fires | ✗ PA Confirmed won't fire |
| Both LTF and HTF aligned | ✓ May fire | ✓ PA Confirmed fires |

Moving Averages
RC - Crypto Scalper v3Cryptocurrency scalping strategy for perpetual futures with risk management and automation capabilities.
## Strategy Overview
This strategy identifies high-probability scalping opportunities in cryptocurrency perpetual futures markets using adaptive position sizing, dynamic stop losses, and intelligent exit management to maintain consistent risk-adjusted returns across varying market conditions.
## Technical Foundation
The strategy employs exponential moving averages for trend detection, Bollinger Bands for volatility measurement and mean reversion signals, RSI for momentum confirmation and overbought/oversold conditions, ATR for dynamic volatility-based stop placement, and VWAP for institutional price level identification. These technical indicators are combined with volume analysis and optional multi-timeframe confirmation to filter low-probability setups.
## Entry Methodology
The strategy identifies trading opportunities using three complementary approaches that can be enabled individually or in combination:
Momentum-Based Entries: Detects directional price movements aligned with short-term and intermediate-term trend indicators, with momentum oscillator confirmation to avoid entries at exhaustion points. Volume analysis provides additional confirmation of institutional participation.
Mean Reversion Entries: Identifies price extremes using statistical volatility bands combined with momentum divergence, targeting high-probability reversal zones in ranging market conditions. Entries require initial price structure confirmation to reduce false signals.
Institutional Flow Entries: Monitors volume-weighted price levels to identify areas where institutional orders are likely concentrated, entering on confirmed breaks of these key levels with supporting directional bias from trend indicators.
Each methodology uses distinct combinations of the technical indicators mentioned above, with specific parameter relationships and confirmation requirements that can be customized based on trader preference and market conditions.
## Exit Framework
Adaptive Stop Loss: Uses ATR-based stops (default 0.7x multiplier on 14-period ATR) that automatically adjust to current market volatility. Stop distance expands during volatile periods to avoid premature stops while tightening during consolidation to protect capital. Alternative percentage-based stops available for traders preferring fixed-distance risk management.
Trailing Profit System: Employs a dual-target exit approach combining fixed limit orders with dynamic trailing stops. The system activates trailing stops when positions reach profitable thresholds, allowing winning trades to capture extended moves while protecting accumulated gains. The high fixed limit (6R default) serves as a ceiling for exceptional moves while the trailing mechanism handles the majority of exits at optimal profit levels.
Time-Based Management: Implements maximum holding period constraints (50 bars default) to prevent capital from being trapped in directionless price action. This ensures consistent capital turnover and prevents the strategy from holding through extended consolidation periods.
Breakeven Protection: Automatically adjusts stop loss to entry price plus commission costs once trades reach predefined profit thresholds (0.7R default), eliminating downside risk on positions that have demonstrated directional follow-through.
## Risk Management
Position Sizing: Dynamic position sizing based on account equity percentage risk model (2% default). Calculates optimal position size based on entry price, stop distance, and account risk tolerance. Includes maximum position exposure caps and minimum position size thresholds to ensure practical trade execution.
Daily Loss Limits: Automatic trading suspension when intraday losses exceed configured threshold (5% of equity default). Prevents catastrophic drawdown days and removes emotional decision-making during adverse market conditions. Resets automatically at the start of each new trading day.
Leverage Controls: Comprehensive leverage monitoring with built-in liquidation protection for margined positions. Strategy calculates liquidation prices based on leverage settings and automatically closes positions approaching critical margin levels, preventing forced liquidations.
Exposure Management: Multiple layers of position size controls including maximum position value as percentage of equity (50% default), leverage-adjusted margin requirements, and minimum capital availability thresholds before opening new positions.
## Market Filters
Session-Based Filtering: Configurable trading windows for Asian (00:00-08:00 UTC), London (08:00-16:00 UTC), and New York (13:00-21:00 UTC) sessions. Allows traders to focus on specific market hours or avoid illiquid periods based on their asset and trading style.
Volatility Requirements: Minimum and maximum ATR percentage thresholds ensure strategy only operates within optimal volatility ranges. Prevents trading during both insufficient movement periods and extreme volatility events where execution quality deteriorates.
Trend Alignment: Optional higher timeframe trend filter ensures directional bias aligns with broader market structure, reducing counter-trend entries during strong directional moves.
Volume Confirmation: Configurable volume requirements for entry validation, ensuring sufficient market participation and reducing false signals during low-liquidity periods.
## Automation Support
Built-in webhook integration generates JSON payloads compatible with popular broker automation platforms. Alert system provides comprehensive notifications for all entry signals, exit executions, risk limit breaches, and daily trading status updates. Supports both automated and manual execution workflows.
## Settings Explanation
Initial Capital: $5,000
Selected as realistic starting point for retail traders entering crypto futures markets. Strategy scales proportionally - larger accounts show similar percentage returns with proportionally larger absolute gains and position sizes.
Risk Per Trade: 2%
Conservative default providing significant drawdown tolerance. With 51% historical win rate and positive expectancy, risking 2% per trade allows for extended losing streaks without account impairment. Adjustable from 0.5% (very conservative) to 5% (aggressive, experienced traders only).
Leverage: 10x
Standard cross-margin leverage for cryptocurrency perpetual futures. Combined with 2% risk setting and maximum 50% equity position size caps, actual exposure remains controlled despite leverage. Built-in liquidation protection provides additional safety layer.
Commission: 0.055%
Modeled on major exchange maker fee structures (Bybit, Binance Futures).
**Slippage: 50 ticks**
Ultra-conservative slippage assumption representing extreme worst-case execution scenarios. ETH perpetual tick size is $0.01, therefore 50 ticks equals $0.50 per side or $1.00 round trip slippage per trade.
Real-world slippage on 30-minute timeframe typically ranges from 2-5 ticks ($0.02-0.05 round trip) under normal conditions, with 10-20 ticks during highly volatile periods. The 50-tick setting assumes every single trade executes during extreme market stress conditions.
This ultra-conservative modeling approach means real-world trading performance under typical market conditions may exceed backtest results, as the strategy has been tested under punishing execution cost assumptions that represent worst-case scenarios rather than expected outcomes.
Stop Loss: ATR-based (0.7x multiplier)
Volatility-adaptive stops optimized for 30-minute cryptocurrency perpetuals. The 0.7x multiplier balances protection against premature stops due to normal market noise. Lower multipliers (0.5-0.6x) suitable for lower timeframes, higher multipliers (0.8-1.2x) for higher timeframes.
Take Profit: 6R (Risk:Reward)
High target designed to work in conjunction with trailing stop system rather than as primary exit mechanism. Historical analysis shows most profitable trades exit via trailing stops at lower multiples, with the 6R limit capturing occasional extended moves. This configuration allows the trailing stop system to operate optimally while providing upside capture on exceptional price runs.
Trailing Stop: Activates at 1R | Offset 0.5R
Trailing mechanism engages when position reaches 1:1 risk-reward, then maintains 0.5R distance from peak favourable price. This configuration allows profitable trades room to develop while protecting accumulated gains from reversals.
Maximum Holding Period: 50 bars
Automatic exit trigger after 50 bars (25 hours on 30-minute timeframe) prevents capital commitment to non-trending price action. Adjustable based on timeframe and trading style preferences.

## Recommended Usage
Optimal Timeframes:
- Primary: 30-minute (tested and optimized)
- Alternative: 1-hour (more selective, fewer trades)
- Not recommended: <15-minute (execution quality deteriorates)
Suitable Assets:
High-liquidity cryptocurrency perpetual futures recommended:
- BTC/USDT (>$2B daily volume)
- ETH/USDT (>$1B daily volume)
- SOL/USDT, AVAX/USDT (>$100M daily volume)
- Avoid low-liquidity pairs (<$50M daily volume)
Risk Configuration:
- Conservative: 1-1.5% per trade
- Moderate: 2-3% per trade (default: 2%)
- Aggressive: 3-5% per trade (requires discipline)
## Important Considerations
Backtesting vs Live Trading: Always paper trade first. Real-world results vary based on execution quality, broker-specific factors, network latency, and individual trade management decisions. Backtest performance represents historical simulation with ultra-conservative cost assumptions, not guaranteed future results.
Market Conditions: Strategy designed for liquid, actively-traded markets. Performance characteristics:
- Strong trends: Optimal (trailing stops capture extended moves)
- Ranging markets: Moderate (mean reversion component provides edge)
- Low volatility: Reduced (ATR filter prevents most entries)
- Extreme volatility: Protected (maximum volatility filter prevents entries)
Cost Impact: Commission represents approximately 18.5% of gross profit in backtests. The 50-tick slippage assumption is deliberately punitive - typical execution will likely be 5-10x better (2-10 ticks actual vs 50 ticks modeled), meaning real-world net results may significantly exceed backtest performance under normal market conditions.
Execution Quality: 30-minute timeframe provides sufficient time for order placement and management. Automated execution recommended for consistency. Manual execution requires discipline to follow signals without hesitation or second-guessing.
Starting Procedures:
1. Run backtest on your specific asset and timeframe
2. Paper trade for minimum 50 trades or 2 weeks
3. Start with minimum position sizes (0.5-1% risk)
4. Gradually scale to target risk levels as confidence builds
5. Monitor actual execution costs vs backtest assumptions
## Strategy Limitations
- Requires liquid markets; performance degrades significantly on low-volume pairs
- No built-in news event calendar; traders should manually avoid scheduled high-impact events
- Weekend/holiday trading may experience wider spreads and different price behaviour
- Does not model spread costs (assumes mid-price fills); add 1-2 ticks additional cost for market orders
- Performance during market structure changes (regime shifts) may differ from backtest period
- Requires consistent monitoring during active trading hours for optimal automated execution
- Slippage assumptions are deliberately extreme; actual slippage will typically be much lower
## Risk Disclosure
Cryptocurrency trading involves substantial risk of loss. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. This strategy will experience losing streaks and drawdowns. The 11.53% maximum historical drawdown in bull market testing and 18.54% in bear market testing do not represent ceilings - larger drawdowns are possible and should be expected in live trading.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Market conditions evolve, and historical edge may diminish or disappear. No strategy works in all market conditions. The strategy has been tested with extremely conservative slippage assumptions (50 ticks per trade) that significantly exceed typical execution costs; this provides a safety margin but does not eliminate risk.
Capital at Risk: Only trade with capital you can afford to lose completely. The strategy's positive historical performance across both bull and bear markets does not eliminate the possibility of significant losses or account impairment.
Not Financial Advice: This strategy is an educational tool, not investment advice. Users are solely responsible for their trading decisions, risk management, and outcomes. The developer assumes no liability for trading losses.
Leverage Warning: Trading with leverage can result in losses exceeding initial investment. Ensure you understand leverage mechanics and liquidation risks before using leveraged products.

GardFx - Fusion - ORBFusion ORB & Bias Monitor
This indicator is a comprehensive toolkit designed for session-based traders. It combines an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) visualizer with a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) trend bias dashboard. It is designed to help traders identify key session levels while keeping track of the broader market trend.
How it Works
1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Lines The script identifies the High and Low prices established during the first 15 minutes of a specific session or a manually defined start time.
Calculation: The script tracks the high and low values of candles occurring within the 15-minute window defined by the user settings. It then projects these levels forward using line.new.
Reset Logic: The lines automatically reset at the start of a new session (London or New York) or at specific reset times to ensure the chart remains clean for the next trading opportunity.
2. Multi-Timeframe Bias Dashboard The dashboard provides a quick "Bullish" or "Bearish" sentiment check across four timeframes: Daily, 4-Hour, 1-Hour, and 15-Minute.
Methodology: The script uses request.security to fetch the closing price and a 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for each timeframe.
Signal:
Bullish: Current Close > 50 EMA
Bearish: Current Close < 50 EMA
3. Exchange Clock & Session Tracker A built-in clock displays the current Exchange Time and identifies the active trading session (Asia, London, or New York). This uses timenow and timezone-specific checks to account for Daylight Savings Time shifts between London and New York.
Settings
Automate Session Times: Toggles between automatic detection of London (08:00) and NY (09:30) opens, or a manual user-defined start time.
Manual Start Hour/Minute: Defines the start of the ORB calculation if automation is disabled.
Bias EMA Length: Adjustable length for the trend detection EMA (Default: 50).
Visuals: Users can customize line colors, width, and toggle the mid-line display.
Usage This tool is best used on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute) to visualize the 15-minute opening range boundaries. Traders often observe price action around these high/low lines to determine potential breakouts or reversals, using the MTF Dashboard to align trades with the higher timeframe momentum.
Negative & Positive Divergence Alert System by TWTA"Negative & Positive Divergence Alert System by TWTA" is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator that detects bullish (positive) and bearish (negative) divergences on MACD (both classic and hidden/advanced forms), draws automatic support/resistance zones (SRv2), shows nearest S/R levels, 27-period EMA, volume filters, and gives real-time alerts + on-chart labels A-PD(Advanced Pozitive Divergence), B-PD(Base Pozitive Divergence), A-ND(Avanced Negative Divergence), B-ND(Base Negative Divergence).

Grid Trading with Moving Average [PUCHON]Grid Trading with Moving Average
This strategy enhances the classic Grid Trading approach by incorporating a Moving Average (MA) filter to reduce drawdown and trade in the direction of the trend.
Key Features:
Moving Average Filter: The strategy uses a Moving Average (SMA or EMA) to determine the trend direction.
Trend Following: Buy orders are only placed when the price is above the Moving Average.
Drawdown Reduction: If the price falls below the Moving Average, the strategy stops placing new buy orders and cancels any pending orders below the MA line. This prevents buying into a strong downtrend.
Dynamic Visualization:
The Moving Average line changes color based on the trend: Green when bullish (Body Middle > MA) and Red when bearish (Body Middle < MA).
A background fill indicates the trend zone: Green for uptrend and Red for downtrend.
Grid Trading Logic: Places a grid of Buy Limit orders at defined levels. Each order has a Take Profit at the next grid level up.
Performance Dashboard: A real-time dashboard displays key metrics such as Initial Capital, Avg. Profit per Grid, Cashflow, Max Drawdown, Avg Monthly Return, and CAGR.
Settings:
Grid Settings: Configure Upper Price, Lower Price, Number of Grid Lines, and Grid Type (Arithmetic/Geometric).
Moving Average Filter: Enable/Disable the filter, choose MA Type (SMA/EMA), Length, and Source.
Dashboard Settings: Toggle visibility and adjust the position of the dashboard.
How it Works:
The strategy continuously monitors the price relative to the Moving Average. When the price is in a "Safe Zone" (above MA), it actively trades the grid. When the price enters the "Danger Zone" (below MA), it pauses buying to protect capital, effectively using the MA as a dynamic risk management tool.
QuantMotions - TPR Sentinel LineTPR Sentinel Line is an advanced adaptive Support/Resistance system that combines multi-layered trend analysis with a directional Time-Price Ratio (TPR) engine. The indicator dynamically builds a stabilized support or resistance line that adjusts to market volatility, trend strength, ATR expansion and contraction, and real-time slope changes.
This creates a high-precision, self-adjusting trend barrier that acts as support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends, and a neutral anchor during sideways phases.
Key Features
✔ Adaptive Trend Base
- A composite trend model blending:
- Kijun-style midpoint
- Donchian midline
- SMA & EMA smoothing
This creates a stable baseline that reacts smoothly but reliably to structural trend shifts.
✔ Directional TPR Calculation
The indicator measures slope across short, medium, and long trend windows, normalizes it with ATR, and determines:
- Trend direction
- Trend strength
- Momentum quality
✔ Dynamic Support/Resistance Line
Depending on trend direction:
- In uptrends → the line becomes adaptive support
- In downtrends → the line becomes adaptive resistance
- In neutral phases → the line centers around the smoothed trend base
A built-in lag factor prevents unrealistic jumps and keeps the level stable.
✔ Automatic Support/Resistance Zones
The indicator expands the main line into upper and lower zones based on ATR and trend strength, creating a dynamic volatility envelope around the trend structure.
✔ Signals & Alerts
- Support bounce
- Resistance rejection
- Breakouts above/below the dynamic line
These events help identify high-probability continuation or reversal moments.
✔ Information Panel
A real-time status table displays:
- Trend direction
- Trend strength
- Current S/R level
🎯 Ideal For
- Precision entries on pullbacks
- Detecting trend shifts earlier
- Identifying strong or weak trend phases
- Adaptive take-profit and stop-loss zones
- Filtering false breakouts
💡 Summary
TPR Sentinel Line gives you a living, breathing support/resistance structure that evolves with the market.
Instead of relying on static levels, you get a continuously adapting trend barrier that reflects real strength, real volatility, and real momentum.
A powerful tool for traders who want structure, clarity, and trend confidence.
[iQ]PRO Engineering42+🔬 PRO Engineering42+ ⚙️
The Next Evolution in Signal Processing for Precision Market Analysis
Introducing PRO Engineering42+, a proprietary, cutting-edge technical analysis tool engineered to distill meaningful market structure from the inherent noise of price action. This indicator is built upon a sophisticated, multi-stage signal processing framework, leveraging advanced mathematics to provide traders with a uniquely clarified view of the underlying market trend and momentum.
Hybrid Composite Signal Generation
At its core, PRO Engineering42+ begins with a Hybrid Base Signal. This signal is not a mere average but a intelligently weighted composite, harmonizing the strengths of multiple distinct, adaptive moving average techniques. This fusion is designed to achieve a superior balance of responsiveness to trend shifts and smoothness for noise rejection, establishing a foundation of dynamic market memory.
Adaptive Volatility Clamping
The initial Hybrid Base is then subjected to an innovative process we term Adaptive Volatility Clamping. This critical step dynamically adjusts the signal's sensitivity in real-time based on the market's current volatility profile (measured using True Range), ensuring the signal remains tightly coupled with price action during quiet periods while minimizing whipsaws and overshoots during high-volatility events. This is achieved through a precise, weighted mechanism that prioritizes price context.
Proprietary Spectral Filtration and Gating
The hallmark of PRO Engineering42+ is its final stage: Advanced Frequency Domain Analysis using a proprietary Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) filter.
Frequency Isolation: The tool mathematically decomposes the pre-processed (clamped) signal into its constituent frequencies (or periodic cycles). Traders can isolate and focus on a specific, tunable bandwidth (FFT Low/High Freq) that represents the most relevant market cycles for their trading style, effectively filtering out disruptive high-frequency noise and irrelevant, extremely low-frequency components.
Intelligent Spectral Gating: This feature introduces a proprietary, volatility-aware thresholding mechanism (Spectral Gating Level). The filter actively assesses the power spectrum of the decomposed signal, only allowing frequencies with power exceeding a dynamically calculated standard deviation level to pass through. This unique "gate" intelligently suppresses less significant cycles, leaving only the statistically dominant, market-driving components to form the final output, resulting in an exceptionally clean and responsive oscillator.
The result is a powerful, low-lag Hybrid FFT Oscillator that provides an unparalleled measure of directional bias and momentum.
Key Features for Exclusive Members
Closed Source & Invite Only: The underlying Pine Script logic, including the proprietary spectral gating calculation and hybrid weighting methodology, is intentionally obscured and available exclusively to a select group of paying members.
Maximum Data Efficiency: Optimized with a low max_bars_back and robust dependency structure to ensure maximum calculation efficiency.
Precision Control: Fine-tune the system's performance using controls like Hybrid Base Length, FFT Window Size, and the Spectral Gating Level to perfectly match any asset, timeframe, and trading strategy.
Experience the future of analytical precision. This is not just an indicator; it is a proprietary engineering solution for market mastery.

VWolf – Apex GateOverview
VWolf – Apex Gate is a trend-continuation system that blends a Pivot-weighted Supertrend (PVT ST) with an optional **Normal Supertrend** trigger, all **gated by a 200-EMA directional filter. The strategy’s risk controls are volatility-aware—**stops and targets scale by ATR**, and quantity is computed from a fixed **% risk per trade**. Clear **Backtest / Forwardtest** modes with date windows let you validate on segmented datasets before committing to live use.
Recommended Use
- **Markets:** High-liquidity instruments (indices, large-cap equities, liquid FX and major crypto pairs) where trends and pullbacks are clean.
- **Timeframes:** 15m–1h for active intraday; 4h–1D for swing. Lower timeframes may benefit from stricter EMA gating and slightly wider ATR stops.
- **Workflow:**
1. Start with **Backtest** to set baseline ATR/EMA parameters.
2. Move to **Forwardtest** to confirm generalization.
3. Consider walk-forward or multi-symbol rotation to assess robustness.
Strengths & Precautions
Strengths
- **Dual engine** (PVT ST + Normal ST) improves signal quality; the **EMA gate** screens counter-trend noise.
- **ATR-native** stops/targets standardize risk across regimes/instruments.
- **Capital-proportional sizing** preserves account geometry and smooths drawdowns.
- **Clear test segmentation** supports objective evaluation.
Precautions
- **Whipsaw risk** in tight ranges: widen ATR multipliers, enable the EMA gate, or require co-confirmation.
- **Supertrend-anchored stops** can expand in volatility spikes; ensure **% risk** remains within tolerance.
- **One-position policy** avoids stacking risk but forgoes scaling into strong trends; advanced users may prefer add-on frameworks outside this baseline.
Conclusion
VWolf – Apex Gate seeks to enter shortly after **regime flips**, demanding alignment between a **pivot-aware Supertrend** and (optionally) a **classic Supertrend**, while an **EMA gate** enforces directional discipline. With **ATR-driven** stops/targets and **fixed-fraction** sizing, the system adapts naturally to changing volatility. Use the **Backtest** window to dial ranges and the **Forwardtest** window to prove durability on unseen data. For best results, tailor ATR multipliers and the EMA gate to your instrument’s structure and your personal drawdown tolerance.
Aggressive ScalpingA high-precision intraday indicator designed for Nasdaq futures scalpers who need fast, reliable, and clean signals. This tool blends trend structure (Fast/Slow EMAs), volatility compression (ADX), momentum (RSI), and VWAP positioning to identify high-quality entries during the most active parts of the trading day.
Key Components
• EMA Trend Engine
Fast EMA vs Slow EMA alignment helps identify micro-trend direction and early momentum shifts.
• ADX Compression Filter
ADX below a user-defined threshold highlights low-trend, high-compression zones—ideal for quick scalps and mean-reversion entries. Background shading optionally highlights these squeeze periods.
• VWAP Context Filter
An optional VWAP filter ensures long signals only trigger above VWAP and short signals only below—improving directional quality during intraday sessions.
• RSI Extremes
RSI helps prevent taking late momentum entries near exhaustion levels (overbought/oversold).
Signal Conditions
Long Signal
• Fast EMA > Slow EMA
• RSI below overbought
• ADX < threshold (range/compression mode)
• Price above VWAP (optional filter)
Short Signal
• Fast EMA < Slow EMA
• RSI above oversold
• ADX < threshold
• Price below VWAP (optional filter)
Alerts fire automatically when Fast EMA crosses Slow EMA and conditions confirm.
200 Week MA Extensions (Crypto Currently Strategy)Bitcoin 200 Week MA Extensions
The 200-week moving average has never been breached in Bitcoin's history, making it one of the most reliable indicators for identifying absolute market bottoms. This indicator plots the 200 Week MA along with percentage extensions above it to help identify potential cycle tops and key resistance levels during bull markets.
What is the 200 Week MA?
The 200-week simple moving average is the average closing price of Bitcoin over the past 200 weeks (approximately 3.8 years). It's a ultra-long-term trend indicator that:
Has never been broken to the downside in Bitcoin's entire history
Acts as the ultimate floor for Bitcoin price during bear markets
Rises steadily over time, reflecting Bitcoin's long-term growth trajectory
Moves slowly, making it a stable reference point for market cycles
Key Components:
200 Week MA - Blue Line (Base Level)
The foundation line that has historically marked absolute bottoms
Currently around $62,000 (and rising ~$500-800 per week)
Touching this level has historically represented generational buying opportunities
Last tested during the COVID crash (March 2020) and 2022 bear market
+50% Extension - Green Line (1.5x the 200 Week MA)
First major resistance zone above the base
Often acts as support during healthy bull market corrections
Historically a comfortable zone for accumulation in early bull markets
+100% Extension - Yellow Line (2.0x the 200 Week MA)
Double the 200 Week MA value
Represents a well-developed bull market
Often tested multiple times during mid-cycle consolidations
Can act as strong resistance when first approached
+150% Extension - Orange Line (2.5x the 200 Week MA)
Advanced bull market territory
Historically marks the acceleration phase of bull runs
Breaking above this level often signals euphoric market conditions approaching
+200% Extension - Red Line (3.0x the 200 Week MA)
Triple the 200 Week MA value
Extreme overextension zone
Historically near or beyond previous cycle tops
Suggests extreme caution and profit-taking considerations
Historical Context:
2020-2021 Bull Market:
March 2020: Price touched the 200 Week MA (~$5,000) - absolute bottom
Throughout 2020: Price traded between +50% and +100% extensions
Late 2020 - Early 2021: Price broke above +100%, accelerated to +150%
April 2021 & November 2021: Price reached +200% extension area, marking local/cycle tops
2022 Bear Market:
Price fell from +200% extension back toward the 200 Week MA
June 2022: Price came within 10% of the 200 Week MA ($18,000)
Bounce from near the 200 Week MA marked the bear market bottom
2023-2024 Recovery:
Price recovered from near 200 Week MA back through the extension levels
Each extension level acted as resistance, then support as bull market developed
Current position relative to extensions helps gauge cycle maturity
How to Use This Indicator:
For Long-Term Accumulation:
At 200 Week MA: Maximum conviction buying zone - historically has never failed
+0% to +50%: Excellent accumulation zone, low risk relative to reward
+50% to +100%: Good accumulation zone during bull market dips
Above +100%: Consider reducing accumulation, focus on holding or taking profits
For Profit Taking:
Approaching +100%: Consider taking initial profits (10-20% of position)
+100% to +150%: Take incremental profits as price advances
+150% to +200%: Increase profit-taking pace significantly
Above +200%: Maximum caution - historically unsustainable levels
For Risk Management:
Distance from 200 Week MA indicates market risk level
Further above = higher risk, more extended, closer to top
Closer to = lower risk, better value, closer to bottom
Use extensions as profit-taking targets in bull markets
Use extensions as re-entry targets during corrections
For Cycle Timing:
Bear Market: Price converges toward 200 Week MA
Early Bull: Price in +0% to +50% range, building base
Mid Bull: Price in +50% to +100% range, healthy growth
Late Bull: Price in +100% to +150% range, acceleration
Euphoric Top: Price at +150% to +200%+, extreme extension
Key Insights:
The 200 Week MA as Ultimate Support:
Bitcoin has touched or approached this level during every major bear market
It rises consistently (~$30,000 per year currently), creating a rising floor
Breaking below would be unprecedented and signal a fundamental market structure change
Provides enormous psychological and technical support
Extension Levels as Resistance/Support:
Bull markets often stall at each extension level before breaking through
Once broken, extensions often flip from resistance to support
Rejections from higher extensions can signal local or cycle tops
Corrections back to lower extensions offer re-entry opportunities
Diminishing Returns:
Each cycle's top has formed at progressively lower extension multiples
2013: ~10x the then-200WMA
2017: ~5x the then-200WMA
2021: ~3x the then-200WMA
Suggests future tops may not reach +200% extension (market maturation)
Best Practices:
Do:
Use the 200 Week MA as your ultimate risk-off level for long-term holdings
Scale into positions as price approaches the 200 Week MA
Take profits incrementally as price rises through extensions
View corrections back to lower extensions as opportunities
Combine with other on-chain metrics (MVRV, Realized Price) for confirmation
Don't:
Expect the 200 Week MA to provide perfect entry timing (you might be early)
Assume price will reach +200% extension every cycle
Sell all holdings at first extension level during bull markets
Ignore price action and volume when making decisions
Panic if price approaches the 200 Week MA (historically the best time to buy)
Why This Indicator Works:
The 200 Week MA represents nearly 4 years of price data, which:
Encompasses approximately one full Bitcoin halving cycle
Smooths out all short and medium-term volatility
Reflects Bitcoin's true long-term adoption and growth trend
Provides a slow-moving, stable reference that doesn't whipsaw
The extension levels work because:
They create objective profit-taking targets based on historical overextension
They account for the rising base (200 Week MA) over time
They've proven reliable across multiple market cycles
They help remove emotion from buy/sell decisions
Technical Notes:
Calculations performed on weekly timeframe data for consistency
The indicator displays correctly on any chart timeframe (Daily, 4H, etc.)
Uses lookahead_on to prevent repainting and show consistent historical values
All extension levels update automatically as the 200 Week MA rises
Best viewed on logarithmic scale for full historical perspective
Important Reminders:
Past performance does not guarantee future results - while the 200 Week MA has never been breached, future market conditions could differ
Market maturation - as Bitcoin matures, cycle dynamics may change
Black swan events - unexpected macro events could temporarily break historical patterns
Not financial advice - this is an educational tool, always do your own research
Recommended Usage:
Best Timeframes: Daily, Weekly, Monthly charts
Pair With: MVRV Ratio, Realized Price, Stock-to-Flow, Fear & Greed Index
Update Frequency: Weekly (the base 200 Week MA only changes weekly)
Chart Type: Logarithmic scale recommended for full historical view
Strategy Example:
Buy aggressively when price is within 20% of 200 Week MA
Hold and accumulate between 200WMA and +50% extension
Begin scaling out profits at +100% extension (20% of position)
Scale out more at +150% extension (40% of position)
Significant profit-taking at +200% extension (remaining position)
Wait for next cycle and repeat
This indicator provides a simple, objective, and historically reliable framework for navigating Bitcoin's market cycles. By respecting the 200 Week MA as the ultimate floor and using the extensions as profit-taking guides, investors can remove emotion and develop disciplined strategies for long-term success.

Core Features & Logic
1. Dynamic Support & Resistance Zones
· Logic: Automatically detects dynamic tops and bottoms based on Pivot High/Low lookback combined with ATR volatility.
· Visuals: Purple zones indicate Resistance (potential sell zones), and Green zones indicate Support (potential buy zones).
· Signals: Arrows appear when price touches these zones and shows a reversal structure.
2. Enhanced SuperTrend
· Logic: Uses a classic ATR-based trend following algorithm to filter market noise.
· Usage: Acts as the primary trend filter. The background color changes with the trend (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish) to help traders stay on the right side of the market.
3. EMA System
· Configuration: Includes three specific EMA lines configured to identify medium to long-term trends.
· Usage: Used to determine the broader market direction. Look for long setups when price is above the EMAs, and short setups when below.
4. Enhanced RSI Reversal Signals
· Red Triangle (R): RSI crosses under the Overbought threshold, suggesting a risk of a top/pullback.
· Blue Triangle (R): RSI crosses over the Oversold threshold, suggesting a potential bottom/bounce.
· Note: These signals are best used as confirmation near Support & Resistance zones.
5. Volume Anomalies (High Vol Highlight)
· Logic: Identifies "Explosive Volume" when the current candle's volume is significantly higher than the average volume.
· Visuals: The candle body is highlighted in bright Yellow, indicating institutional activity or extreme emotional volatility.
6. Multi-Timeframe Dashboard

BTC Key Support Levels (True Market Mean, Realized Price, MVRV)Bitcoin Key Onchain Support Levels + Moving Averages
This indicator combines critical Bitcoin on-chain metrics with traditional technical analysis to identify key support levels and price trends. It's designed to help traders and investors understand Bitcoin's fundamental value zones and market positioning.
Key Metrics Included:
On-Chain Support Levels:
True Market Mean (Active Coins) - Blue Line
Calculates investor capital (Realized Cap minus Thermocap) divided by active supply (coins moved in last year)
Represents the average cost basis of active market participants
Historically acts as strong support during bull markets
True Market Mean (Free Float) - Green Line
Same investor capital calculation but divided by free float supply
Provides a more conservative support estimate
Useful for identifying extreme value zones
Realized Price - Purple Line
The average price at which all bitcoins last moved on-chain
Represents the aggregate cost basis of all Bitcoin holders
Historical major support level during bear markets
Delta Realized Price - Red Line
Realized Price minus its all-time average
Helps identify when Bitcoin is trading below or above its historical average cost basis
Useful for spotting macro trend shifts
MVRV 0sd (Mean MVRV) - Yellow Line
Price level where Market Value equals the historical average MVRV ratio times Realized Value
Represents "fair value" based on Bitcoin's historical valuation patterns
Strong dynamic support/resistance level
Traditional Moving Averages:
50 Day SMA - White Dotted Line
Short-term trend indicator
Common entry/exit signal for swing traders
200 Day SMA - White Dashed Line
Long-term trend indicator
Classic bull/bear market dividing line
50 Week SMA - Orange Dotted Line
Medium-term trend on weekly timeframe
Historically strong support in bull markets, some traders use as dividing line between bull and bear markets
200 Week SMA - Orange Dashed Line
Long-term weekly trend
Very rarely breached; considered ultimate bottom indicator representing the deepest possible value for long term investors
How to Use This Indicator:
For Long-Term Investors:
Look for price approaching the Red (Delta Realized Price) or Purple (Realized Price) lines during corrections as potential accumulation zones
The 200 Week SMA (orange dashed) has historically marked cycle bottoms
When price is above the Blue line (True Market Mean - Active), the bull market is typically healthy
For Traders:
Use the moving averages for trend confirmation and entry/exit signals
The Yellow line (MVRV 0sd) often acts as dynamic support/resistance
Watch for price interactions with the Blue line during consolidations
Cross-referencing on-chain levels with moving averages provides high-probability trade setups
Market Cycle Context:
Bull Market: Price typically stays above the Yellow and Blue lines
Bear Market: Price often trades between Purple (Realized Price) and Red (Delta Realized Price)
Extreme Value: Price near or below Red line and 200 Week SMA
Overheated: Price significantly above all on-chain metrics
Technical Notes:
This indicator uses real Bitcoin on-chain data including:
Realized Cap from CoinMetrics
Supply and active supply metrics from Glassnode
Block mining data and transaction fees
Thermocap calculation (cumulative security spend)
All calculations are performed on daily data and maintain consistency across different chart timeframes. The on-chain metrics provide fundamental value floors that complement traditional technical analysis.
Best Practices:
Use on logarithmic scale for better visualization across Bitcoin's entire price history
Most effective on daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes
Combine with volume analysis and other indicators for confirmation
On-chain levels are slow-moving; don't expect daily precision
Historical support levels are not guarantees of future performance
Arkham ORB Indicator 3.815-Minute ORB Breakout Indicator with Volume Confirmation & Dynamic Risk Management
This closed-source indicator identifies high-probability breakout opportunities during the New York session open (8:30-9:30 AM ET) using a systematic Opening Range Breakout methodology combined with volume validation and adaptive volatility-based risk management.
Core Methodology - How It Works
Opening Range Framework
The indicator establishes the Opening Range by tracking the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session (8:30-8:45 AM ET). This range represents the initial price discovery zone where early participants establish equilibrium. Breakouts above the high or below the low signal potential directional moves as liquidity enters the market during the full NY session.
Volume-Based Breakout Validation
To distinguish genuine breakouts from false moves, the indicator employs a rolling volume analysis system. It calculates a 12-period median of volume and applies a 1.2x threshold multiplier. Only price movements accompanied by volume exceeding this threshold are flagged as valid breakout signals. This approach filters out low-conviction breakouts that often occur in choppy, low-participation conditions and significantly reduces false signals at ORB levels.
Adaptive Volatility-Based Stop Loss Calculation
Unlike fixed-point stop losses, this indicator uses a dynamic calculation based on a 10-day lookback of historical ORB ranges. The stop loss is derived by analyzing recent Opening Range sizes and applying a 0.5x multiplier to the average. This creates three key advantages:
Compression adaptation: When recent ORBs shrink (low volatility), stops automatically tighten to reduce risk exposure
Expansion adaptation: When recent ORBs expand (high volatility), stops widen to prevent premature exits on legitimate moves
Hybrid intelligence: The system detects outlier volatility days by comparing current ORB size to the 10-day average. When divergence exceeds 50%, it recognizes abnormal conditions and adjusts stop placement accordingly rather than blindly using historical averages
Multi-Entry Risk Framework
The indicator recognizes that different traders enter at different points relative to the ORB level. It provides simultaneous risk calculations for three entry strategies:
Direct ORB Entry (0-point offset): Immediate breakout entries at the ORB high/low
Pullback Entry 1 (default 5.5 points): Conservative entries waiting for initial retracements
Pullback Entry 2 (default 11.0 points): Deeper retest entries for very conservative approaches
Each entry type displays independently calculated metrics (stop loss distance, contract sizing, take profit levels) that account for the actual entry point's distance from the ORB level. This ensures accurate position sizing and risk/reward ratios regardless of which entry method you use.
Smart Volatility Detection & Alerts
The indicator continuously compares the current day's ORB size against the 10-day historical average. When divergence exceeds a configurable threshold (default 50%), it alerts you to abnormal market conditions:
Compression warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ smaller than average (potential low-volatility trap)
Expansion warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ larger than average (potential news event or unusual volatility)
This allows you to adjust expectations and position sizing based on whether current conditions match your backtested historical environment.
Risk Management Safeguards
Min/Max Stop Loss Caps
To prevent extreme stop placements in unusual conditions:
Minimum stop: 35 points (prevents overly tight stops that get hit by noise)
Maximum stop: 75 points (caps risk exposure during extreme volatility events)
Both caps are fully adjustable and can be toggled on/off
Contract Rounding & Risk Display
The indicator automatically rounds to whole contracts and displays real-time risk metrics including:
Suggested stop loss level (adjusted for entry offset + volatility)
Number of contracts (sized to your account risk parameters)
Suggested take profit level (maintains your configured risk/reward ratio)
Dollar risk and potential profit for each entry type
What Makes This Original
This indicator combines several methodological elements that work together as a cohesive risk management system:
Volume confirmation prevents trading every ORB breakout indiscriminately
Adaptive volatility stops ensure your risk scales with current market conditions, not fixed assumptions
Multi-entry framework provides accurate calculations for various entry styles without requiring separate indicators
Outlier detection warns when today's conditions deviate significantly from your backtested norms
Integrated position sizing removes the mental math from determining contracts and risk/reward
Rather than simply plotting ORB levels or using fixed stops, this system adapts to changing volatility while validating breakouts with participation metrics.
How to Use It
Apply to a 5-minute chart of futures instruments (optimized for MNQ/NQ)
Set your account risk parameters in settings (account size, risk per trade %)
Monitor the ORB formation period (8:30-8:45 AM ET) - levels will be drawn
Watch for breakout signals during 8:45-9:30 AM ET with volume confirmation
Choose your entry style from the three displayed options based on your risk tolerance
Use the suggested stops and targets from the real-time risk table
Pay attention to volatility warnings - adjust position sizing if conditions are abnormal
Fully Customizable Settings
All parameters used in the indicator's calculations are user-adjustable, allowing you to adapt the system to your trading style and risk tolerance:

able MACD Overview
Purpose: The indicator combines the traditional MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) with a short-term “forecast” (projection) of MACD/histogram values to give early warning of momentum changes.
Typical outputs:
MACD line (fastEMA − slowEMA)
Signal line (EMA of MACD)
Histogram (MACD − signal)
Forecasted MACD or histogram projected N bars ahead
Optional buy/sell markers and alert conditions
Add the indicator to TradingView (Installation)
Open TradingView and the chart you want to apply the indicator to.
Click “Pine Editor” at the bottom of the chart.
Copy the contents of able_macd_forecast.pine into the Pine Editor window.
Click “Add to chart” (or Save then Add to chart). If it’s a study, it will appear on the chart below price.
If you plan to re-use the script, click Save and give it a meaningful name.
Inputs / Parameters (typical) Note: exact input names may differ in your script. Replace the names below with the script’s input labels when you inspect it.
Source: price source for calculations (close, hl2, etc.).
Fast Length: length for the fast EMA (commonly 12).
Slow Length: length for the slow EMA (commonly 26).
Signal Length: length for the MACD signal EMA (commonly 9).
Forecast Length / Horizon: how many bars ahead the script projects the MACD/histogram (e.g., 1–5).
Forecast Method / Smoothing: choice of projection method (linear regression, EMA extrapolation, simple slope * N, etc.) if available.
Histogram Thresholds: numeric thresholds to emphasize significant momentum (optional).
Show Forecast: toggle on/off the forecast plot.
Alerts On/Off toggles: enable or disable alert conditions baked into the indicator.
Visual / Style settings: colors, plot thickness, histogram style (columns/areas), show labels, show buy/sell arrows.
How the indicator is typically calculated (summary)
MACD line = EMA(source, fast) − EMA(source, slow)
Signal line = EMA(MACD line, signal length)
Histogram = MACD − Signal
Forecast = method-specific short-term projection of MACD or histogram (for example: extend the last slope forward, apply linear regression to MACD values and extrapolate N bars, or apply an additional smoothing and extend that value) Note: For exact math, I need to inspect the script; this is the typical approach.
How to read the indicator (signals & interpretation)
Bullish signal:
MACD line crossing above the signal line (MACD cross up).
Histogram turns positive (cross above zero).
Forecast shows MACD/histogram moving higher in the next N bars (if forecast is positive or trending up).
Bearish signal:
MACD line crossing below the signal line (MACD cross down).
Histogram turns negative (cross below zero).
Forecast shows MACD/histogram moving lower ahead.
Confirmations:
Use price action (higher highs/lows for bullish, lower highs/lows for bearish).
Volume or other momentum/confluence indicators (RSI, ADX).
Divergences:
Bullish divergence: price makes lower low while MACD histogram makes higher low.
Bearish divergence: price makes higher high while MACD histogram makes lower high.
Forecast behavior:
If the forecast leads the MACD cross (forecast crosses before the current MACD does), it’s an early warning.
Use caution: forecasts are prone to false signals; always confirm.
Common trading setups using this indicator
Conservative:
Wait for MACD to cross signal + histogram above zero + forecast already trending same direction.
Use stop below recent swing low (for long) or above recent swing high (for short).
Aggressive (early entry):
Enter when forecast turns positive while MACD still below signal (anticipating cross).
Use tighter stops and smaller position sizes.
Exit rules:
Opposite MACD cross, histogram flipping sign, or a target based on risk-reward.
Use trailing stop based on ATR or structure.
Example settings for different timeframes (starting points)
Scalping / 5–15 min:
Fast 8, Slow 21, Signal 5, Forecast 1–2
Intraday / 1H:
Fast 12, Slow 26, Signal 9, Forecast 2–3
Swing / 4H–Daily:
Fast 12, Slow 26, Signal 9, Forecast 3–5 Adjust based on the asset volatility and backtests.
Adding alerts (TradingView)
Click the “Alerts” button (clock icon) or press Alt + A.
In the Condition dropdown, select the indicator name (able_macd_forecast) and choose a plotted series or built-in alert condition (if the script uses alertcondition).
Common alert types:
MACD crosses Signal (Crossing)
Histogram crosses 0 (Crossing)
Forecast crosses 0 or Forecast trend change (if provided)
Message templates:
“{{ticker}}: MACD crossed above signal on {{interval}}”
“{{ticker}} Forecast positive: MACD forecast shows upward momentum”
Customize the message for your trade automation or notifications.
Configure frequency (Only once, Once per bar, or Once per bar close) — for signals like crossovers, “Once per bar close” is usually safer to avoid repainting issues. Note: If the script includes alertcondition() calls with explicit IDs/messages, use those directly — they are the most reliable for automation.
Backtesting / Strategy conversion
If this script is a study (indicator), you can:
Convert it to a strategy by adding strategy.* order calls (strategy.entry, strategy.close) using the entry/exit logic you prefer, or
Use TradingView’s “Bar Replay” to manually test signals across different markets/timeframes.
If you want, I can help convert or write a strategy wrapper that uses the indicator’s signals to place backtest trades (I’ll need the code).
Practical tips & best practices
Use higher timeframe confirmation for lower-timeframe entries (e.g., check daily MACD momentum before trading 15m signals).
Beware of choppy markets; MACD / forecast may produce whipsaws. Combine with trend filters (moving average direction, ADX).
If you rely on forecasted values, prefer alerts “on bar close” when possible to reduce false alerts from intra-bar noise.
Tune parameters for the specific asset (FX, crypto, stocks have different behavior).
Record each signal and outcome for a sample period (20–100 trades) to evaluate performance.
Troubleshooting
Indicator won’t add: verify Pine version in script header (//@version=4 or //@version=5). TradingView may reject scripts with unsupported version syntax.
Plots missing: check script inputs (Some scripts hide plots if toggles are off).
Alerts firing too often: change alert frequency to “Once per bar close” or adjust threshold values.
Forecast seems to repaint: some forecast methods can repaint (use “bar_index” or store values only on closed bars, or use non-repainting forecast methods). Ask me to inspect the script for repainting logic.
What I can do next (recommended)
If you paste the content of able_macd_forecast.pine here, I will:
Produce a precise, line-by-line usage guide mapping to the exact input names and default values.
Show the exact plotted series names and how to reference them for alerts.
Point out any repainting risks and suggest fixes.
Provide example alert messages that match the script’s alertcondition IDs (if any).
Optionally convert it into a strategy for backtesting, or add non-repainting forecast logic if needed.
