Livermore's Pyramiding Trading - 3Commas [SwissAlgo]
📊 J. LIVERMORE'S PYRAMIDING TRADING - 3Commas Integrated
A Trading Approach Inspired by Jesse Livermore's Position Building Principles
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is an educational tool based on historical trading principles. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose. You are responsible for all trading decisions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 WHO WAS JESSE LIVERMORE?
Jesse Livermore (1877-1940) was one of the greatest traders in history.
His core insight: "Most traders do everything backward."
♦ "They deploy all capital at once" → Livermore entered with a small fraction of his capital (he started with a 'test position' to validate his trade idea and waited for market confirmation to deploy more, building positions in steps = "pyramiding")
♦ "They average down" (DCA) → Livermore added to trades showing good results only, and never to losing trades, as the trend kept aligning with his trade idea
♦ "They use arbitrary % stops" → Livermore exited when structure appeared broken (he trailed his stop loss to try to protect unrealized profit - if any)
♦ "They take profits too early or set arbitrary TP%" → Livermore let trades showing positive results run until proven wrong (trial take profit)
💬 "I always made money when I was sure I was right before I began. What beat me was not having enough brains to stick to my own game."
— Jesse Livermore
This indicator tries to translate his principles into a SYSTEMATIC FRAMEWORK :
BO = Base Order (first order, base of the pyramid)
PO = Pyramid Orders (additional layers of capital deployed as long as the 'tape' does not invalidate the trade idea)
♦ Test First (BO - 20%) - Small entry to test your idea. If wrong, lose small. If right, can consider pyramiding into strength.
♦ Build Position Size (PO1-3 - 80%) - Add only as trend unfolds favorably (the indicator uses specific Fibonacci levels to track milestones - 0.618, 1.0, 1.272 - and looks for strong confluence among price, volume, trend, momentum, break of resistance/support levels to suggest and trigger actions: entries, exit)
♦ Attempt to Protect Capital - Dynamic stops: the indicator trails the stop loss, to try to protect potential gains from previous steps (if any)
♦ Discipline - Trades fire only when ALL conditions align

🎯 INDICATOR FEATURES
You map 3 points on the chart → The indicator generates a systematic trading plan structure based on your wave analysis.
✓ Auto-detects trade direction: Uptrend wave (A➚B➘C) = Long signals | Downtrend wave (A➘B➚C) = Short signals
✓ Entry/exit prices: BO, PO1, PO2, PO3, and dynamic EXIT (trailing stop)
✓ Real-time condition monitoring: Live ✓/✗ checks for each order (price closes + volume + trend + pivot breaks + candle quality + sequence)
✓ Visual trade execution: Green labels mark entries (BO/PO1/PO2/PO3), red labels mark EXIT
✓ Optional 3Commas automation: JSON webhooks for hands-free execution via Signal Bots
⏰ Recommended Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
(Lower timeframes like 15m/5m produce excessive noise and false signals)

⚙️ SETUP IN 3 STEPS
🟡 STEP 1: Map Your Wave (Points A → B → C)
Identify a completed wave pattern:
For LONGS:
♦ Point A = Swing low (wave start)
♦ Point B = Swing high (impulse end)
♦ Point C = Pullback low (retrace end - where next wave may begin)
For SHORTS:
♦ Point A = Swing high (wave start)
♦ Point B = Swing low (impulse end)
♦ Point C = Pullback high (retrace end - where next wave may begin)
How to set points:
Settings → Enter dates manually OR drag the vertical lines directly on the chart (easier - just click and drag the pre-mapped A/B/C lines)
Requirements (auto-validated by code):
✓ All dates must be in the past (Point C = completed retrace, not forming)
✓ Clear impulse A→B (minimum 5% move)
✓ Clear retrace B→C (minimum 3% pullback)
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟡 STEP 2: Set Budget & Allocation
Settings → "TRADE PARAMETERS"
♦ Total Budget: $10,000 (example - capital for THIS trade only, not your entire account)
♦ Allocation (must total 100%):
BO = 20% ($2,000) - test position
PO1 = 25% ($2,500) @ Fib 0.618
PO2 = 30% ($3,000) @ Fib 1.0
PO3 = 25% ($2,500) @ Fib 1.272
💬 "It was never my thinking that made big money for me. It was always my sitting. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟡 STEP 3: Monitor Your Trade Plan Table
The table (top-right corner) has 4 sections that guide your execution:
BUDGET DEPLOYMENT
♦ Trigger prices for each order (BO auto-calculated at 0.5 Fib between B-C)
♦ Dollar amount per entry
♦ Fibonacci level assigned to each PO
ENTRY/EXIT CONDITIONS
Each column (BO, PO1, PO2, PO3) shows live status (✓ or ✗) for:
♦ Price: 2 consecutive closes (BO) | 3 consecutive closes (POs)
♦ Volume: OBV directional alignment OR volume spike above average
♦ Trend: Normal or Strong Bull/Bear (no entries in Uncertain trend)
♦ Pivot: Nearest resistance (longs) or support (shorts) broken
♦ Clean Candle: Momentum without reversal wicks <30% (POs only)
♦ Sequence: Prior order must have fired first (POs only - no skipping levels)
TRIGGERED?
Shows execution status for each order (✓ = fired, ✗ = waiting)
If using 3Commas: ✓ confirms JSON alert was sent to your bot for real execution
VALIDATIONS
✓ Green = All checks passed, setup is valid
⚠️ Yellow = Warning (e.g., budget doesn't equal 100%, deep retrace)
✗ Red = Error (e.g., dates in wrong order, invalid wave structure)
⚠️ Wait for ALL ✓✓✓✓✓ (or ✓✓✓✓✓✓) to align in a column before that order fires at bar close

📊 CHART VISUALS - READING THE INDICATOR
Fibonacci Extension Lines
After mapping A-B-C, horizontal lines extend to the right:
♦ Solid green/red lines = Active PO entry levels (0.618, 1.0, 1.272)
♦ Dotted gray lines = Reference Fib levels used for exit tracking (2.0, 2.618, 3.0, etc.)
♦ Labels on right = Show level and price: "Fib 0.618 / $67,324 "
Entry/Exit Price Lines
♦ Thick green line (longs) / red line (shorts) = BO entry price with direction label
♦ Dashed red line = Current EXIT price (your trailing stop loss - appears after BO fires and moves as price extends)
Trade Execution Labels
Visual confirmation when orders fire on the chart:
♦ Green labels (below/above candles) = BO, PO1, PO2, PO3 entries executed
♦ Red label = EXIT triggered (position closed)
Trend Strength Indicator (EMA Line)
The thick colored line shows real-time trend status:
♦ Bright lime = Strong bullish trend
♦ Light green = Normal bullish trend
♦ Bright red = Strong bearish trend
♦ Light red = Normal bearish trend
♦ Gray = Uncertain/weak trend (no entries fire in this state)
Entries require at least Normal trend strength aligned with your trade direction.

🔧 ENTRY LOGIC - TECHNICAL DETAILS
💬 "The big money was never made in the buying or the selling. The big money was made in the waiting."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟢 BASE ORDER (BO) - TEST POSITION
BO Price Calculation
Auto-calculated at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement between Point B and Point C
Formula: (Price B + Price C) / 2
Why this level?
♦ Midpoint between impulse end (B) and retrace end (C)
♦ Breakout above/below suggests retrace may be complete
♦ Designed to help position BO below all Fib extensions (to control sequence issues)
───────────────────────────────────────────
BO Entry Conditions - ALL 5 Must Align:
1️⃣ PRICE: 2 Consecutive Closes Beyond BO
♦ Longs: close > BO AND close > BO
♦ Shorts: close < BO AND close < BO
♦ Why: Designed to confirm breakout commitment and filter fakeouts
2️⃣ TREND: Normal OR Strong Trend Aligned
♦ Detection: 18-period EMA + ADX/DMI + higher timeframe slope
♦ States: Strong Bull/Bear (ADX>30), Normal Bull/Bear (price vs EMA), Uncertain
♦ Confirmation: Requires 3 consecutive bars in the same state (to reduce flip-flop)
♦ BO accepts: Normal OR Strong (you're testing early, basic alignment sufficient)
3️⃣ PIVOT: Nearest Resistance/Support Broken
♦ Storage: 60 most recent pivot highs/lows (dynamic lookback per timeframe)
♦ Longs: Nearest pivot HIGH above BO → must break with 2 closes
♦ Shorts: Nearest pivot LOW below BO → must break with 2 closes
♦ Price Discovery: If no pivot exists beyond BO = auto-pass
♦ Why: Aims to confirm momentum has overcome previous rejection zones
4️⃣ VOLUME: OBV Aligned OR Spike
♦ Directional OBV: OBV > 20-EMA (longs) OR OBV < 20-EMA (shorts)
♦ OR Volume Spike: Current volume > 20-period SMA
♦ Why: Checks for institutional participation signals
5️⃣ VALIDATIONS: Setup Valid (✅)
♦ Dates valid (A < B < C, all in past)
♦ Wave structure valid (min 5% impulse, min 3% retrace)
♦ Budget allocation = 100%
♦ Prices detected at all points
⚠️ BO fires once per bar close. Flag set permanently until trade resets.
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔺 PYRAMID ORDERS (PO1-3) - PYRAMIDING INTO STRENGTH
💬 "Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high. The big money was never made in the stock market by buying on declines."
— Jesse Livermore
PO Price Calculation
Fixed Fibonacci extensions from Point C:
Formula: Price C ± (Impulse Range × Fib Level)
Where: Impulse Range = |Price B - Price A|
Default Levels:
♦ PO1 @ Fib 0.618 (Golden Ratio)
♦ PO2 @ Fib 1.000 (Full impulse repeat)
♦ PO3 @ Fib 1.272 (Fibonacci sequence extension)
───────────────────────────────────────────
PO Entry Conditions - ALL 6 Must Align (STRICTER):
1️⃣ PRICE: 3 Consecutive Closes Beyond PO
♦ Longs: close > PO AND close > PO AND close > PO
♦ Shorts: close < PO AND close < PO AND close < PO
♦ Why: Higher conviction needed when adding capital (3 vs 2 closes for BO)
2️⃣ TREND: Same as BO
Normal OR Strong trend must remain aligned with trade direction
3️⃣ PIVOT: Per-Level Pivot Break
♦ Each PO checks its OWN nearest pivot (not shared with BO)
♦ Same 2-close break requirement
♦ PO3 Exception: Price discovery allowed (no pivot required if already profitable)
4️⃣ VOLUME: Same as BO
Sustained confirmation required (not weakening)
5️⃣ CLEAN CANDLE: <30% Reversal Wick (NEW)
♦ Filter: Uses ATR(14) - candles < ATR auto-pass (consolidation noise)
♦ Longs: Upper wick < 30% of candle range (no rejection at top)
♦ Shorts: Lower wick < 30% of candle range (no rejection at bottom)
♦ Why: Don't pyramid into weakness/rejection - only add on clean momentum
♦ Not checked for BO: Test position tolerates some wick risk
6️⃣ SEQUENCE: Prior Order Fired
♦ PO1 requires: BO fired
♦ PO2 requires: PO1 fired
♦ PO3 requires: PO2 fired
♦ Why: No skipping levels - disciplined building only
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ KEY DIFFERENCE:
BO (20% capital) = Lighter requirements, testing your idea early
POs (80% capital) = Stricter requirements, adding only to confirmed winners
♦ BO: 2 closes | POs: 3 closes
♦ BO: No candle check | POs: Clean candle required
♦ BO: Independent | POs: Sequential (must follow order)
♦ BO: No price discovery | PO3: Allows price discovery when profitable
💬 "Profits always take care of themselves, but losses never do. The speculator has to ensure himself against considerable losses by taking the first small loss."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚪 EXIT LOGIC - TECHNICAL DETAILS
🔴 EXIT PHILOSOPHY
The indicator uses TWO INDEPENDENT EXIT TRIGGERS (whichever fires first):
1) Structural Breakdown
Price breaks through the EXIT level with confirmation
2) Trend Reversal
Trend flips against your position AND price breaks EXIT level
Why two methods?
♦ Structure = price-based protection (hard stop)
♦ Trend = momentum-based exit (early warning when market character changes)
♦ Combined: Exit either when proven wrong (structure) or when conditions no longer favor your direction (trend)
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔴 EXIT PRICE CALCULATION
The EXIT price (your stop loss) adjusts dynamically based on position size:
BEFORE PO3 Fires (Fixed Stops):
♦ BO only = Stop at Point C (small position, tight stop near entry)
♦ PO1 fired = Stop at Fib 0.5 (moved to breakeven zone)
♦ PO2 fired = Stop at Fib 0.786 (protecting partial profits)
AFTER PO3 Fires (Trailing Stops):
♦ Tracking: Monitors the highest Fib reached (longs) or the lowest Fib reached (shorts)
♦ Placement: EXIT moves 1-2 Fib levels below the highest (longs) or above the lowest (shorts)
♦ Example: Price reaches Fib 2.618 → EXIT trails up to Fib 2.0
♦ Purpose: Designed to protect accumulated profits while allowing room for normal pullbacks
💬 "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔴 EXIT CONDITIONS
Exit Speed (Based on Risk Exposure):
♦ Full position (PO3 fired) = 1 close required (fast exit - more capital at risk)
♦ Partial position (BO/PO1/PO2 only) = 2 closes required (confirmation - less urgency)
METHOD 1: Structural Breakdown
Price violates the EXIT level with clean momentum:
For Longs:
♦ Price closes BELOW EXIT level (1 or 2 closes depending on position size)
♦ Clean candle required (lower wick < 50% of range - no false breakdown)
For Shorts:
♦ Price closes ABOVE EXIT level (1 or 2 closes depending on position size)
♦ Clean candle required (upper wick < 50% of range - no false breakout)
Why clean candle check?
Designed to reduce exits on wicks/fakeouts. If there's a large reversal wick (>50%), it suggests buyers/sellers are defending the level - not a true breakdown.
METHOD 2: Trend Reversal
Market character shifts against your position:
For Longs:
♦ Trend shifts from Bull → Normal Bear OR Strong Bear
♦ AND price breaks below EXIT level (same close requirements)
For Shorts:
♦ Trend shifts from Bear → Normal Bull OR Strong Bull
♦ AND price breaks above EXIT level (same close requirements)
Why this matters?
♦ Proactive exit before structural stop is hit
♦ If the trend that confirmed your entries reverses, the setup is invalidated
♦ Livermore principle: Exit when market proves you wrong, don't wait for max pain
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ EXIT BEHAVIOR
♦ Fires once per bar close (same as entries)
♦ Resets all tracking after exit (ready for fresh trade setup)
♦ Clears flags: boSignalFired, po1/po2/po3SignalFired, highestFib/lowestFib tracking
♦ If using 3Commas: Sends exit_long or exit_short JSON (market order closes 100% position)

🤖 3COMMAS AUTOMATION (OPTIONAL)
💬 "There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is also the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time."
— Jesse Livermore
Automation designed to help remove emotion and support disciplined execution.
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚡ QUICK SETUP IN 5 STEPS
STEP 1: Create Your Signal Bots
You need 2 SEPARATE BOTS (one for Longs, one for Shorts):
Go to 3Commas → Bots → Create Bot → Select "Signal Bot"
Basic Settings:
♦ Bot Name: "Livermore Long - " (example: "Livermore Long - BTCUSDT")
♦ Exchange: Your connected exchange
♦ Trading Pair: Must match TradingView chart exactly
♦ Strategy: Custom Signal
♦ Direction: LONG (for first bot) or SHORT (for second bot)
♦ Max Active Deals: 1
⚠️ CRITICAL SETTINGS:
Entry Orders:
♦ Toggle ON: "Entry Orders"
♦ Volume per Order: "Send in webhook, quote"
♦ Why: This lets the indicator control exact $ amounts per order (BO=$2K, PO1=$2.5K, etc.)
♦ If you skip this: Orders will use wrong sizes and break your allocation plan
Exit Orders:
♦ Toggle ON: "Exit Orders"
♦ Volume per Order: "100 Position %"
♦ Why: Closes your entire position when EXIT signal fires
♦ Toggle OFF: "Take Profit" (managed by indicator)
♦ Toggle OFF: "Stop Loss" (managed by indicator)
Click "Start Bot" for both Long and Short bots.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: Get Your Bot Credentials
For EACH BOT (Long and Short):
♦ Open the bot → Click "Orders" tab
♦ Scroll down to "Webhook Messages" section
♦ Copy these 3 values:
bot_uuid (long string like: a362cbcf-7e68-4379-a83d-ae6e47dba656)
secret (very long token starting with: eyJhbGciOiJ...)
webhook URL (refer to 3commas to get exact webhook - signal bots)
Note: The secret is usually the same for both bots, but the bot_uuid is different.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: Enter Credentials in Indicator
Back in TradingView:
♦ Open indicator Settings
♦ Find section: "1️⃣ INTEGRATE 3COMMAS"
♦ Paste:
Long = Your Long bot UUID
Short = Your Short bot UUID
Secret = Your secret token (same for both)
♦ Click "OK"
The indicator now has everything needed to build JSON payloads.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: Create TradingView Alert
This alert bridges TradingView → 3Commas. ONE ALERT HANDLES ALL SIGNALS (BO, PO1, PO2, PO3, EXIT).
How to create:
♦ Right-click chart → "Add Alert" (or click clock icon)
♦ Condition: Select this indicator from dropdown
♦ Trigger: "Any alert() function call"
♦ Alert Name: "Livermore Pyramiding - "
♦ Message: Leave default (indicator sends its own JSON)
♦ Webhook URL: Paste your 3Commas webhook URL from Step 2
♦ ⚠️ Alert Frequency: "Once Per Bar Close" (CRITICAL - controls duplicate orders)
♦ Expiration: Open-ended (or set specific date)
♦ Click "Create"
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 5: Test Before Going Live
🧪 NEVER TEST WITH REAL CAPITAL FIRST. Use one of these methods:
Test 1: Check Bot Status
♦ 3Commas → Bots → Both bots show "Active" (green)
♦ Click into each bot → Orders tab → Should say "Waiting for signal"
Test 2: Verify Alert Active
♦ TradingView → Alerts panel (bell icon)
♦ Your alert should show "Active" status
Test 3: Paper Trade / Tiny Position
♦ Use 3Commas paper mode if available, OR
♦ Set Total Budget to $10-50 for first real test
♦ Map a wave that's about to trigger
♦ Watch if orders actually appear on 3Commas
Test 4: Check JSON Format
♦ When alert fires → TradingView Alerts → Click your alert
♦ Look at "History" or "Log"
♦ Verify JSON has: bot_uuid, secret, action, price, amount
───────────────────────────────────────────
🛠️ COMMON ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
✗ Problem: Orders not appearing on 3Commas
Possible causes:
♦ Wrong webhook URL → Must be exact 3Commas URL (check for typos)
♦ Bot paused → Check bot status must be "Active" (green)
♦ Wrong bot UUID → Verify you copied Long UUID for longs, Short UUID for shorts
♦ Secret mismatch → Double-check secret is correct
♦ Exchange API issues → Verify exchange connection in 3Commas settings
How to debug:
♦ 3Commas → Your Signal Bot → Orders tab
♦ Look for "Rejected Signals" section
♦ Should show error messages if webhook failed
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: Orders executing at wrong prices
Possible causes:
♦ Limit order not filled → Price gapped through your level before order filled
♦ Slippage on exits → Exits use market orders (intentional - speed over exact price)
♦ Exchange minimums → Some exchanges have minimum order sizes
Solution:
♦ Entries use limit orders (wait for exact price - may not fill if price gaps)
♦ Exits use market orders (prioritize fast execution when structure breaks)
♦ This is INTENTIONAL DESIGN following Livermore's principle: exit when proven wrong
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: PO orders firing out of sequence or skipping
Possible causes:
♦ Alert not set to "Once Per Bar Close" → Change alert frequency setting
♦ Multiple alerts running → Delete old/duplicate alerts for this indicator
♦ Conditions changed mid-bar → Indicator only fires at bar close (protective feature)
Solution:
♦ Keep only 1 active alert per indicator instance
♦ Always use "Once Per Bar Close" frequency
♦ Wait for full bar to close before signals can fire
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: Bot not closing position on EXIT
Possible causes:
♦ Exit order setting wrong → Check bot settings
♦ Wrong JSON action → Should be "exit_long" or "exit_short"
♦ No position open → Can't close what doesn't exist
Solution:
♦ Verify: Bot Settings → Exit Orders → Volume per Order = "100 Position %"
♦ Check alert history for correct JSON payload
♦ If stuck: Manually close position in 3Commas, then fix settings
♦ Delete and recreate alert if JSON format is wrong
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔒 SECURITY BEST PRACTICES
♦ Never share bot UUID or Secret - Treat them like passwords
♦ Use restricted API keys - Limit to specific pairs, disable withdrawals
♦ Start small - Test with $10-50 first, scale up only after success
♦ Monitor first trades - Don't set-and-forget immediately
♦ Delete old alerts - If you change A/B/C points, delete old alert and create new one
───────────────────────────────────────────
📊 PREFER MANUAL TRADING?
Skip 3Commas entirely and use the indicator for planning only:
♦ Watch Trade Plan table for ✓✓✓✓✓ alignment
♦ Manually place limit orders at displayed prices
♦ Manually move stop loss as EXIT price updates
♦ Manually close when EXIT signal fires
Benefits: Full control, no API concerns, can override based on context
Drawbacks: Must watch chart constantly, emotions can interfere, may miss signals
───────────────────────────────────────────
✅ FINAL CHECKLIST BEFORE LIVE TRADING
✓ Both Signal Bots created (Long + Short)
✓ Entry Orders: Volume = "Send in webhook, quote"
✓ Exit Orders: Volume = "100 Position %"
✓ Take Profit and Stop Loss disabled in bots
✓ Bot UUIDs and Secret entered in indicator
✓ TradingView alert created with correct webhook
✓ Alert frequency = "Once Per Bar Close"
✓ Alert status shows "Active"
✓ Tested with small amounts successfully
✓ Trade Plan table shows ✅ (no validation errors)
✓ Understand your risk per trade
Once all checked: You're ready for automated pyramiding execution.

💡 KEY REMINDERS - BEFORE YOU TRADE
💬 "The speculator's chief enemies are always boring from within. It is inseparable from human nature to hope and to fear."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES (AVOID THESE)
Mapping Incomplete Waves
♦ Point C must be in the PAST (completed retrace, not currently forming)
♦ Don't map a wave that's still developing - wait for confirmation
♦ Minimum requirements: 5% impulse (A→B), 3% retrace (B→C)
Ignoring Validation Warnings
♦ Never create alerts when status shows ✗ (red) or ⚠️ (yellow)
♦ Fix all errors first: dates in order, budget = 100%, valid wave structure
♦ Common issues: dates in future, Point C above B (longs) or below B (shorts)
Premature Manual Entries
♦ Don't enter just because price touched the level
♦ Wait for ALL ✓✓✓✓✓ (or ✓✓✓✓✓✓) to align in Trade Plan table
♦ Patience pays - partial confluence = partial edge = higher risk of losing trades
Wrong Timeframe Selection
♦ Avoid: 15m, 5m, 1m (too much noise, false signals)
♦ Use: 1H, 4H, Daily (cleaner structure, better confluence)
♦ Lower timeframes require faster decisions and produce more whipsaws
Over-Risking Capital
♦ Trade budget ≠ Account size
♦ Never risk capital you can't afford to lose
♦ One bad trade should NOT destroy your account
───────────────────────────────────────────
✅ LIVERMORE PRINCIPLES IN ACTION
Confirmation > Prediction
♦ Don't predict where price will go
♦ Wait for price to INDICATE direction via pivots + volume + trend
♦ Test first (BO 20%), build only when confirmed (POs 80%)
💬 "A man must believe in himself and his judgment if he expects to make a living at this game."
Pyramid on Strength, Never Weakness
♦ Add only when: 3 closes + clean candles + volume + pivot breaks
♦ Never average down (DCA into losers)
♦ If BO wrong, take small loss fast - don't hope and add more
💬 "Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high."
Respect Market Structure
♦ Pivots = where smart money previously acted (support/resistance)
♦ Breaking them = momentum overcoming barriers
♦ Entering before pivot break = entering into known rejection zones
Trend is Your Friend
♦ Never pyramid against the trend
♦ If trend shifts to Uncertain or reverses → no new entries
♦ Exit when trend proves you wrong (don't fight it)
💬 "I never argue with the tape. Getting sore at the market doesn't get you anywhere."
Discipline > Emotion
♦ Can't "almost" have all conditions met
♦ Either 100% aligned (all ✓) or you wait
♦ No exceptions, no "this time is different"
♦ Automation designed to help remove emotion - consider using 3Commas
💬 "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting."
───────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 FINAL THOUGHT
This indicator is a SYSTEMATIC FRAMEWORK, not a magic solution. It translates Livermore's century-old principles into actionable rules:
♦ Test small, build big
♦ Add to winners, cut losers fast
♦ Let structure guide exits
♦ Stay disciplined when emotions scream
The market will test your patience, discipline, and conviction. The indicator aims to reduce guesswork - but YOU still need to:
♦ Find valid wave structures
♦ Choose appropriate market conditions
♦ Size positions properly
♦ Accept losses as part of the game
💬 "The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer."

📘 Understanding Leverage Effect
1. What is the Leverage Effect?
Although there's no real leverage in the spot market, when Capital Amount is increased, capital usage works like leverage:
Capital Amount 5% (1.0x): 100% capital usage with full pyramiding = All your money in trades
Capital Amount 10% (2.0x): 200% capital usage with full pyramiding = Attempting to open trades worth 2x your capital
Capital Amount 15% (3.0x): 300% capital usage with full pyramiding = Attempting to open trades worth 3x your capital

📘 Understanding Leverage Effect
1. What is the Leverage Effect?
Although there's no real leverage in the spot market, when Capital Amount is increased, capital usage works like leverage:
Capital Amount 5% (1.0x): 100% capital usage with full pyramiding = All your money in trades
Capital Amount 10% (2.0x): 200% capital usage with full pyramiding = Attempting to open trades worth 2x your capital
Capital Amount 15% (3.0x): 300% capital usage with full pyramiding = Attempting to open trades worth 3x your capital
⚠️ IMPORTANT: If your capital runs out in the spot market, you cannot open new positions, therefore it's recommended to keep Capital Amount at 5% or below!
⚠️ Important Warnings
Pyramiding Risk: If price continues to decline, position grows and risk increases
Capital Requirements: Up to 10 positions can be added, requiring sufficient capital
Trend Dependency: Only works in uptrends

Bubble ChartBubble Chart- Visual Market Intelligence
⸻
⚡ Quick Start - Here is how you get started in 30 seconds
Default view (Y-axis: None) = market heatmap
X-axis always = performance
Bubble size = importance (your choice of metric)
Hover any bubble for details
Switch timeframes to change the measurement window
Pick any stock ticker to see their friends
Pick one of the 143 etfs listed below and see their top constituents
That's it. Everything else is deeper cuts of data
⸻
Overview
The Bubble Chart is a market-wide visual map designed to instantly reveal how thousands of stocks and ETFs are performing relative to their peers, all in a single glance.
It dynamically builds relationships between ~3,400 stocks and 143 ETFs , each with its own “friends list” of most-connected tickers. It’s a bit unlike all the other indicators, which you’ll see shortly. It’s a very Tops Down, then Sideways view of the market.
The 144 ETFs covered in the Bubble Chart indicator are listed here in this watchlist: www.tradingview.com
Each bubble represents a security.
X-axis → performance (% change)
Y-axis → variable (you choose the insight)
Bubble size → market cap, relative weight, or %volume
Color → relative performance (green up, red down)
Border → sector color
Your current chart’s timeframe determines the measurement window:
Intraday chart → today so far
Daily chart → week-to-date (WTD)
Weekly chart → month-to-date (MTD)
Monthly chart → year-to-date (YTD)
Everything is relative to that timeframe’s performance window — making it as useful for morning scans as for long-term sector rotations. I recommend starting with an intraday chart. The bubbles represent the day so far on this timeframe.
⸻
📦 Version Differences

⸻
📊 Y-Axis Options
1. “None” - Heatmap Mode
By default, the Y-axis is set to “None”.
In this mode, the chart functions as a market heatmap, with:
Left-to-right representing relative performance (% change)
Bubble color indicating gain/loss
Bubble size reflecting your chosen metric (Market Cap, Weight, or %Volume)
Up-down randomized just for bubble separation
Think of it as a fancy heatmap with extra context — sector coloring, bubble sizing, and tooltips that surface live data.
Perfect for a quick snapshot of the day’s winners and losers across your selected universe.
⸻
1. %Turnover
This measures conviction behind each move.
Turnover = current money flow vs. average money flow over your lookback window.
A large % move with low turnover = a weak move with little backing.
A moderate % move with high turnover = strong participation, higher conviction.
This is my personal favorite morning setup — it instantly reveals where real buying and selling pressure is emerging as the session unfolds.
A horizontal line across your selected ticker acts as a benchmark, so you can compare others’ conviction levels relative to it.
Any %turnover score >100 means more money than average is flowing in and out of this name. In the example above, ELS, AMT, SUI, and PSA were positive on the day and saw more than the average amount of money being transacted on these tickers today. Do the same for the negative (KIM, ESS, HST, etc), and you know where the money is going. Below 100, the move lacked conviction.
⸻
2. %ATR
Measures range expansion or compression relative to average volatility.
A stock can move big in price but stay inside a tight range → no expansion.
A stock can move little but break its typical volatility boundary → range expansion.
Expansion often signals momentum continuation; compression after large moves can precede turnarounds or consolidations.
This view helps you spot early volatility inflection points.
In the example above, in XLRE, you can see there are a lot of companies that are experiencing a range expansion to the downside. These stocks are now short setup stocks, as the power is pretty overwhelming (number of top companies as well as magnitude over the 100 index). However, there are 3 Stocks that are doing something completely different than the rest. AMT, SBAC, and CCI are experiencing range expansion (volatility) to the upside. These may become the new leaders. You would have to inspect each ticker to see what’s going on.
⸻
3. ROC(5) Z-Score
Z-Score quantifies how far a data point deviates from its mean, measured in standard deviations.
Here it’s applied to 5-period Rate of Change (ROC5).
A high positive Z-Score = performance far above its historical average.
A low (negative) Z-Score = deeply oversold vs. history.
Use this view to identify stretched momentum or mean-reversion candidates:
Stocks high on the Y-axis and green = extended upside momentum
Stocks high but red = potential reversal zones
Stocks low and red = extreme washouts that may soon rebound
This makes it a powerful stock-picking lens for traders who look for reversions or contrarian entries.
The following is the XLU and its 5 top holdings. Looked at on the daily timeframe, which means the ROC(5) score is for its weekly ROC (see timeframe discussion above).
What you can see here is most stocks are within their normal acceleration band. However BIIB is very close to -200. This is uncommon.As you can see from the chart of BIIB with it’s ROC(5) graphed below it, this does indicate a short term turn, and is a high probability long setup.
⸻
4. RSI(15) Z-Score
Similar to the ROC version, but based on RSI(15).
It contextualizes RSI against its own historical distribution, not the fixed 0–100 scale.
When RSI’s Z-Score is above +100 → historically overbought.
Below -100 → historically oversold.
A stock with a high RSI Z-Score but negative performance may be starting to roll over.
A stock with a low RSI Z-Score but positive performance could be beginning a rebound.
This lens is especially powerful for early spotting of turning points in swing and position trades.
In this view, we can see a bunch of stocks that are at or below their -200 Z-Score which suggests RSI is going to increase soon. Taking a look at KKR, we see that it is indeed an area where we might want to look for a short term bounce. .
⸻
5. %52-Week High / %52-Week Low
These two let you visualize positioning within the broader yearly range.
%52-Week High:
Shows how close each ticker is to its highs. Stocks near the top may be in breakout mode.
%52-Week Low:
Shows distance from the lows. Watching these can highlight potential recovery trades — many reversals start when beaten-down stocks begin to cluster and climb from their lows.
Are you really going to want to mess around with VZ? Other companies are winning the race
⸻
⚙️ Bubble Size Options
Market Cap-
Larger companies = larger bubbles.
Ideal for weighting visibility by overall size of influence in the market or sector.
ETF/Friend Weight-
Scales bubbles by their relationship weight to the target ETF or stock.
This helps identify which peers or constituents exert the most pull within the current context.
%Volume-
This scales by relative volume to average volume.
Big bubbles here mean unusual activity, perfect for spotting where participation is surging.
⸻
👥 Friends — Relationship Mapping
Every ticker on the chart has its own “friends list.”
These aren’t arbitrary. They’re discovered through a multi-stage algorithm that analyzes co-occurrence of holdings across ETFs and sectors, roughly like social network analysis for stocks. This is what allows a chart of one stock to intelligently surface others that behave like it, whether through shared ETFs, sector overlap, or statistical co-presence.
Why Friends Matter: When you load AAPL, the chart doesn't just show random stocks. It shows AAPL's "friends", the tickers most connected to it through:
Shared ETF holdings
Sector relationships
Statistical co-movement
This means you're seeing AAPL's context, not just AAPL. Example: AAPL up 2% might look strong, but if all its friends are up 3-4%, AAPL is actually lagging. The chart reveals this instantly.
In this friendship look, you can see companies that are in better (and worse) shape for the month (we are looking at it on the “W” timeframe). If I didn’t own ORCL, INTC, or MU (hidden use tooltip), I should start looking at them.

🧩 Data Sources
ETF Constituents:
ETF holdings are derived from information filed with the SEC’s EDGAR database, specifically N-PORT-P filings. These filings are public records submitted by ETF issuers.
Because EDGAR data can vary in structure and naming conventions, additional parsing, fuzzy matching, and ticker reconciliation logic were applied. Some inconsistencies may remain, and minor inaccuracies are possible.
EDGAR filings can also lag slightly behind real-time changes to ETF portfolios; however, for this visualization tool, that level of latency does not materially affect its purpose or insights.
Exchange & Share Count Data:
Information on exchanges and outstanding shares primarily comes from the SEC Company Facts API.
When unavailable, supplemental values are inferred from public SEC filings such as 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K reports, and the SEC Company Submissions API for general company metadata.
All such data is publicly accessible through the SEC’s online systems.
I will update the SEC information on the ETFs once every 3 months to ensure etf constituent accuracy.
Sector & Industry Classification:
Sector and industry classifications were developed through a custom workflow that combines automated and human-reviewed methods.
An internal AI system analyzed each company’s publicly available website information to summarize business activities and assign one of 144 custom-defined industry categories.
Results were cross-checked by multiple independent classification models, and any uncertain outputs were manually reviewed for accuracy.
To improve interpretive consistency, publicly available information from StockAnalysis.com was also referenced (not republished) to inform final classifications.
Their content was used in accordance with their stated policy allowing limited reference with attribution — no full content or proprietary data was reproduced.

Uptrick: Relative Strength Rotation SystemIntroduction
The Uptrick: Relative Strength Rotation System is an indicator engineered to implement a regime-aware tactical allocation strategy across a predefined set of user-specified assets. It visualizes a simulated equity curve produced by a closed, managed rotation engine. The system is designed to identify relative strength relationships dynamically and rotate into stronger-performing assets, while offering an optional fallback into a defensive state when market conditions are deemed unfavorable by the logic.
Overview
This indicator allocates capital by continuously evaluating the relative strength between all asset pairs within the selected group. Unlike simplistic momentum models or rank-based selectors, this system uses internally calculated scores that compare each asset across multiple dimensions, forming a comprehensive decision matrix. These scores are evaluated through a regime-aware layer that determines whether the system should remain invested or move into an idle allocation. The rotation logic is implemented through a rebalancing structure that maintains exposure to a single asset at any time, or transitions into a fallback asset such as cash or PAXG based on internal conditions. Outputs include a dynamically colored equity curve, context-sensitive labels, and optional overlays comparing buy-and-hold performance of the selected assets.
Originality
The indicator utilizes a scoring matrix based on custom asset-to-asset comparative ratios, resulting in a relational framework that evaluates assets in the context of each other rather than in isolation. Each asset is analyzed through multiple statistical dimensions, including trend strength and normalized deviation using Z-score calculations. These metrics form the foundation of an adaptive matrix used to derive consensus leadership. A key differentiator lies in the optional routing of idle allocations to PAXG—a tokenized gold asset—offering a non-cash defensive alternative that introduces both diversification and risk modulation not typically seen in rotation models. The engine also includes an override layer that filters decisions through market state awareness, adding tactical discipline during ambiguous or bearish regimes. Taken together, these features form a self-contained rotation mechanism with multiple embedded controls and fallback logic, all of which are abstracted from the user.
Inputs and Features
Exponential Length (EMA Length)
Specifies the smoothing length used by one of the internal scoring models. Lower values allow for more responsive asset comparisons, while longer values smooth out short-term volatility in score changes.
Z Score
Controls the statistical lookback length used for normalized relative comparisons. This Z-score is a cornerstone of the system’s comparative matrix, standardizing inter-asset ratio behaviors to detect statistically significant deviations from recent behavior. It allows the rotation engine to isolate and prioritize sustained leadership across assets, regardless of price volatility.
Rebalance Every N Bars
Sets how frequently the system evaluates potential changes in leadership. This controls the cadence of reallocation and can be tuned for faster or slower responsiveness.
When Bearish / Neutral, go to
Lets the user select how the system behaves during non-confirmed or bearish conditions. It can either route to a flat cash-equivalent state or into a user-defined defensive asset (such as PAXG), introducing an added layer of optional protection.
Cash Filter
Activates an override that forces the system into an idle state during unfavorable market regimes, even if a leader is otherwise present. This regime-aware mechanism adds another layer of conditional control to mitigate exposure risk.
Start Date
Defines the point in history from which the equity simulation begins. All calculations and equity values prior to this point are excluded.
Asset Inputs (Asset 1 to Asset 4)
Allow the user to specify up to four assets to be evaluated within the rotation universe. These may include crypto, forex, or other tradable symbols supported by TradingView.
PAXG Fallback Asset
Specifies the asset used as a fallback when the idle state is active and the defensive mode is set to PAXG rather than cash.
Color Settings
Users can customize the chart color palette for each asset and idle condition for enhanced clarity.
HODL Curve Toggles
Enable buy-and-hold equity curves for each input asset to be plotted for direct performance comparison with the system’s output.
Simple Mode
Reduces visual noise by simplifying the chart’s appearance and removing optional elements.
Background Color and Shadow Equity Fill
Offer additional styling options that reflect the system's current allocation, enhancing chart readability.

Summary
The Uptrick: Relative Strength Rotation System is a rotation engine that leverages a proprietary scoring matrix to simulate tactical asset allocation. It analyzes inter-asset behavior through pairwise ratio metrics and statistically normalized scoring methods, enabling it to identify leadership dynamics within a defined universe. The inclusion of PAXG as a defensive fallback, regime-aware cash filtering, and customizable rebalancing cadence gives the system adaptability beyond traditional relative strength models. Users are provided with transparent visual feedback through an equity curve, contextual labels, buy-and-hold overlays, and real-time equity statistics. The system is not designed to disclose its internal mechanics, but it enables full visualization of its output and decisions for comparative analysis.

Market Regime IndexThe Market Regime Index is a top-down macro regime nowcasting tool that offers a consolidated view of the market’s risk appetite. It tracks 32 of the world’s most influential markets across asset classes to determine investor sentiment by applying trend-following signals to each independent asset. It features adjustable parameters and a built-in alert system that notifies investors when conditions transition between Risk-On and Risk-Off regimes. The selected markets are grouped into equities (7), fixed income (9), currencies (7), commodities (5), and derivatives (4):
Equities = S&P 500 E-mini Index Futures, Nasdaq-100 E-mini Index Futures, Russell 2000 E-mini Index Futures, STOXX Europe 600 Index Futures, Nikkei 225 Index Futures, MSCI Emerging Markets Index Futures, and S&P 500 High Beta (SPHB)/Low Beta (SPLV) Ratio.
Fixed Income = US 10Y Treasury Yield, US 2Y Treasury Yield, US 10Y-02Y Yield Spread, German 10Y Bund Yield, UK 10Y Gilt Yield, US 10Y Breakeven Inflation Rate, US 10Y TIPS Yield, US High Yield Option-Adjusted Spread, and US Corporate Option-Adjusted Spread.
Currencies = US Dollar Index (DXY), Australian Dollar/US Dollar, Euro/US Dollar, Chinese Yuan/US Dollar, Pound Sterling/US Dollar, Japanese Yen/US Dollar, and Bitcoin/US Dollar.
Commodities = ICE Brent Crude Oil Futures, COMEX Gold Futures, COMEX Silver Futures, COMEX Copper Futures, and S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) Futures.
Derivatives = CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX), ICE US Bond Market Volatility Index (MOVE), CBOE 3M Implied Correlation Index, and CBOE VIX Volatility Index (VVIX)/VIX.
All assets are directionally aligned with their historical correlation to the S&P 500. Each asset contributes equally based on its individual bullish or bearish signal. The overall market regime is calculated as the difference between the number of Risk-On and Risk-Off signals divided by the total number of assets, displayed as the percentage of markets confirming each regime. Green indicates Risk-On and occurs when the number of Risk-On signals exceeds Risk-Off signals, while red indicates Risk-Off and occurs when the number of Risk-Off signals exceeds Risk-On signals.
Bullish Signal = (Fast MA – Slow MA) > (ATR × ATR Margin)
Bearish Signal = (Fast MA – Slow MA) < –(ATR × ATR Margin)
Market Regime = (Risk-On signals – Risk-Off signals) ÷ Total assets
This indicator is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to include or exclude individual assets that contribute to the market regime and adjust the input parameters used for trend signal detection. These parameters apply to each independent asset, and the overall regime signal is smoothed by the signal length to reduce noise and enhance reliability. Investors can position according to the prevailing market regime by selecting factors that have historically outperformed under each regime environment to minimise downside risk and maximise upside potential:
Risk-On Equity Factors = High Beta > Cyclicals > Low Volatility > Defensives.
Risk-Off Equity Factors = Defensives > Low Volatility > Cyclicals > High Beta.
Risk-On Fixed Income Factors = High Yield > Investment Grade > Treasuries.
Risk-Off Fixed Income Factors = Treasuries > Investment Grade > High Yield.
Risk-On Commodity Factors = Industrial Metals > Energy > Agriculture > Gold.
Risk-Off Commodity Factors = Gold > Agriculture > Energy > Industrial Metals.
Risk-On Currency Factors = Cryptocurrencies > Foreign Currencies > US Dollar.
Risk-Off Currency Factors = US Dollar > Foreign Currencies > Cryptocurrencies.
In summary, the Market Regime Index is a comprehensive macro risk-management tool that identifies the current market regime and helps investors align portfolio risk with the market’s underlying risk appetite. Its intuitive, color-coded design makes it an indispensable resource for investors seeking to navigate shifting market conditions and enhance risk-adjusted performance by selecting factors that have historically outperformed. While it has proven historically valuable, asset-specific characteristics and correlations evolve over time as market dynamics change.
Risk Recommender — (Heatmap)📊 Risk Recommender — Per-Trade & Annualized (Heatmap Columns)
Estimate the optimal risk percentage for any market regime.
This tool dynamically recommends how much of your account equity to risk — either per trade or at a portfolio (annualized) level — using volatility as the guide.
⚙️ How it works
Two distinct modes give you flexibility:
1️⃣ Per-Trade (ATR-based)
• Calculates the current Average True Range (ATR) compared to its long-term baseline.
• When volatility is high (ATR ↑), risk per trade decreases to maintain constant dollar risk.
• When volatility is low (ATR ↓), risk per trade increases within your defined floor and ceiling.
• The display is normalized by stop distance (× ATR) and smoothed to avoid noise.
2️⃣ Annualized (Volatility Targeting)
• Computes realized volatility (standard deviation of log returns) and an EWMA forecast of future volatility.
• Blends current and forecast volatilities to estimate “effective” volatility.
• Scales your base risk so that portfolio volatility converges toward your chosen annual target (e.g., 20%).
• Useful for portfolio-level or systematic strategies that maintain constant volatility exposure.
🎨 Heatmap Visualization
The vertical column graph acts like a thermometer:
• 🟥 Red → “Reduce risk” (volatility high).
• 🟩 Green → “Increase risk” (volatility low).
• Smoothed and bounded between your Floor and Ceiling risk levels.
• Optional dotted guides mark those bounds.
• Label shows the current mode, recommended risk %, and key metrics (ATR ratio or effective volatility).
🔧 Key Inputs
• Base max risk per trade (%) — your normal per-trade risk budget.
• ATR length / Baseline ATR length — control sensitivity to short- vs. long-term volatility.
• Target annualized volatility (%) — portfolio volatility target for quant mode.
• λ (lambda) — smoothing factor for the EWMA volatility forecast (0.90–0.99 typical).
• Floor & Ceiling — clamps the output to avoid extreme sizing.
• Smoothing & Hysteresis — prevent rapid changes in risk recommendations.
🧮 Interpreting the Output
• “Recommended Risk (%)” = suggested portion of equity to risk on the next trade (or current exposure).
• In Per-Trade mode: reflects current ATR ÷ baseline ATR .
• In Annualized mode: reflects target volatility ÷ effective volatility .
• Use the color and height of the column as a quick visual cue for aggressiveness.
💡 Typical Use Cases
• Position-sizing overlay for discretionary traders.
• Volatility-targeting component for algorithmic or multi-asset systems.
• Educational tool to understand how volatility governs prudent risk management.
📘 Notes
• This indicator provides risk suggestions only ; it does not place trades.
• Works on any symbol or timeframe.
• Combine with your own strategy or alerts for full automation.
• All calculations use built-in Pine functions; no proprietary logic.

15-Min RSI Scalper [SwissAlgo]15-Min RSI Scalper
Tracks RSI Momentum Loss and Gain to Generate Signals
-------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CALCULATES
This indicator attempts to identify RSI directional changes (RSI momentum) using a step-by-step "ladder" method. It reads RSI(14) from the next higher timeframe relative to your chart. On a 15-minute chart, it uses 1-hour RSI. On a 5-minute chart, it uses 15-minute RSI, and so on.
How the ladder logic works:
The indicator doesn't track RSI all the time. It only starts tracking when RSI crosses into potentially extreme territory (these are called "events" in the code):
For sell signals : when RSI crosses above a dynamic upper threshold (typically between 60-80, calculated as the 90th percentile of recent RSI)
For buy signals : when RSI crosses below a dynamic lower threshold (typically between 20-40, calculated as the 10th percentile of recent RSI)
Once tracking begins, RSI movement is divided into 2-point steps (boxes). The indicator counts how many boxes RSI climbs or falls.
A signal generates only when:
RSI reverses direction by at least 2 boxes (4 RSI points) from its extreme
RSI holds that reversal for 3 consecutive confirmed bars
Example: Dynamic threshold is at 68. RSI crosses above 68 → tracking starts. RSI climbs to 76 (4 boxes up). Then it drops back to 72 and stays below that level for 3 bars → sell signal prints. The buy signal works the same way in reverse.
-------------------------------------------------------
SIGNAL GENERATION METHODOLOGY
Sell Signal (Red Triangle)
RSI crosses above a dynamic start level (calculated as the 90th percentile of the last 1000 bars, constrained between 60-80)
Indicator tracks upward progression in 2-point boxes
RSI reverses and drops below a boundary 2 boxes below the highest box reached
RSI remains below that boundary for 3 confirmed bars
Red triangle plots above price
Reset condition: RSI returns below 50
Buy Signal (Green Triangle)
RSI crosses below a dynamic start level (10th percentile of last 1000 bars, constrained between 20-40)
Indicator tracks downward progression in 2-point boxes
RSI reverses and rises above a boundary 2 boxes above the lowest box reached
RSI remains above that boundary for 3 confirmed bars
Green triangle plots below price
Reset condition: RSI returns above 50
-------------------------------------------------------
TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
All parameters are hardcoded:
RSI Period: 14
Box Size: 2 RSI points
Reversal Threshold: 2 boxes (4 RSI points)
Confirmation Period: 3 bars
Reset Level: RSI 50
Sell Start Range: 60-80 (dynamic)
Buy Start Range: 20-40 (dynamic)
Lookback for Percentile: 1000 bars
Note: Since the code is open source, users can modify these hardcoded values directly in the script to adjust sensitivity. For example, increasing the confirmation period from 3 to 5 bars will produce fewer but more conservative signals. Decreasing the box size from 2 to 1 will make the indicator more responsive to smaller RSI movements.
-------------------------------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
Automatic Higher Timeframe RSI
When applied to a 15-minute chart, the indicator automatically reads 1-hour RSI data. This is the next standard timeframe above 15 minutes in the indicator's logic.
Dynamic Adaptive Start Levels
Sell signals use the 90th percentile of RSI over the last 1000 bars, constrained between 60-80. Buy signals use the 10th percentile, constrained between 20-40. These thresholds recalculate on each bar based on recent data.
Ladder Box System
RSI movements are tracked in 2-point boxes. The indicator requires a 2-box reversal followed by 3 consecutive bars maintaining that reversal before generating a signal.
Dual Signal Output
Red down-triangles plot above price when the sell signal conditions are met. Green up-triangles plot below the price when buy signal conditions are met.
-------------------------------------------------------
REPAINTING
This indicator does not repaint. All calculations use "barstate.isconfirmed" to ensure signals appear only on closed bars. The request.security() call uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent forward-looking bias.
-------------------------------------------------------
INTENDED CHART TIMEFRAME
This indicator is designed for use on 15-minute charts. The visual reminder table at the top of the chart indicates this requirement.
On a 15-minute chart:
RSI data comes from the 1-hour timeframe
Signals reflect 1-hour momentum shifts
3-bar confirmation equals 45 minutes of price action
Using it on other timeframes will change the higher timeframe RSI source and may produce different behavior.
-------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES NOT DO
Does not predict future price movements
Does not provide entry or exit advice
Does not guarantee profitable trades
Does not replace comprehensive technical analysis
Does not account for fundamental factors, news events, or market structure
Does not adapt to all market conditions equally
-------------------------------------------------------
EDUCATIONAL USE
This indicator demonstrates one approach to momentum reversal detection using:
Multi-timeframe analysis
Adaptive thresholds via percentile calculation
Step-wise momentum tracking
Multi-bar confirmation logic
It is designed as a technical study, not a trading system. Signals represent calculated conditions based on RSI behavior, not trade recommendations. Always do your own analysis before taking market positions.
-------------------------------------------------------

RS Alpha w/ Confidence Period | viResearchRS Alpha α w/ Confidence Period | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The RS Alpha α w/ Confidence Period indicator from viResearch is a comprehensive multi-asset allocation and momentum-ranking system that integrates alpha–beta analysis, pairwise relative strength comparison, and volatility-adjusted confidence filtering.
Its primary objective is to identify dominant crypto assets during “safe” investment periods while dynamically reallocating exposure based on a calculated relative strength hierarchy.
At its core, RS Alpha α measures the systematic (β) and idiosyncratic (α) performance of each asset relative to Bitcoin (as the benchmark), combining these measures with inter-asset ratio trends to determine which assets exhibit superior momentum and market leadership.
The “Confidence Period” module introduces an additional dimension of market phase assessment, identifying safe and unsafe allocation windows based on historical equity peaks and troughs. This dynamic filter enhances portfolio resilience by restricting allocation to favorable trend conditions while avoiding high-risk market phases.
This integration of alpha–beta decomposition, relative strength comparison, and confidence-state filtering represents a quantitative evolution of traditional relative strength analysis, designed for adaptive asset rotation across major cryptocurrencies.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The indicator is structured around three major analytical layers:
1. Alpha–Beta Decomposition
-Each asset’s return is decomposed into systematic (beta) and idiosyncratic (alpha) components relative to Bitcoin using a covariance-based regression model.
-Assets with positive alpha above the median are considered outperformers and eligible for allocation.
2. Pairwise Ratio-Based Momentum Matrix
-Every asset is compared against all others through a ratio-trend matrix, where CCI-derived trend scores quantify the directional momentum between each pair.
-This matrix produces a relative strength score for each asset, reflecting its aggregate dominance in the group.
3. Confidence Period Logic (Dynamic Market Phases)
-Using the system’s internal equity curve, the script identifies peak (safe) and nadir (unsafe) periods.
-Allocation is only active during safe confidence phases, ensuring capital exposure aligns with favorable equity momentum.
-When enabled, the model can shift unallocated capital into PAXG (Gold-backed token) as a defensive asset.
By combining these layers, RS Alpha α w/ Confidence Period determines not only which assets to hold but also when to be invested, applying a systematic market-timing overlay to multi-asset selection.
Features and User Inputs
The indicator includes a rich set of customizable parameters to support portfolio and risk management preferences:
Start Date Filter – Defines the beginning of live strategy evaluation.
Display Options – Toggle drawdown metrics, background colorization, and intra-bar updates for visual customization.
Allocation Filters – Enable or disable intra-trend validation, trend source confirmation, or fallback to PAXG during cash periods.
Confidence Period Controls – Adjust the peak and nadir lookback lengths that govern safe/unsafe phase detection.
Asset Selection – Modify or replace up to seven crypto assets in the ranking matrix, including BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, XRP, BNB, and PAXG.
Each module operates cohesively to maintain analytical transparency while allowing user-level control over system sensitivity and behavior.
Practical Applications
The RS Alpha α w/ Confidence Period indicator is suitable for both systematic traders and quantitative portfolio managers seeking dynamic asset rotation frameworks.
Key applications include:
Market Regime Detection: Identify and visualize transitions between “safe” and “unsafe” market environments using confidence overlays.
Alpha-Focused Asset Selection: Highlight crypto assets demonstrating statistically significant outperformance relative to Bitcoin.
Portfolio Rotation: Dynamically reallocate exposure toward leading assets while reducing capital risk during weak phases.
Risk-Managed Trend Participation: Utilize the confidence-state model to align exposure with favorable market momentum only.
This framework bridges quantitative finance with market regime analytics, enabling a disciplined and data-driven approach to crypto asset allocation.
Advantages and Strategic Value
RS Alpha α extends beyond traditional relative strength indicators by incorporating multi-asset covariance analysis, ratio-based dominance scoring, and volatility-aware regime filtering.
Its three-tier analytical framework — combining trend quality, performance attribution, and confidence-state validation — enhances the reliability of trend-following and rotation signals.
The system is particularly valuable for traders aiming to:
Reduce drawdowns during volatile phases.
Identify consistent outperformers early in developing market trends.
Maintain exposure only when statistical conditions indicate high confidence.
The integrated drawdown monitor, visual allocation tables, and dynamic alert system make RS Alpha α both powerful and transparent, suitable for discretionary and automated strategy workflows alike.
Alerts and Visualization
The script provides clear visual and alert-based feedback mechanisms:
Color-coded background zones differentiate safe vs. unsafe investment periods.
Allocation labels and tables display current dominant assets and their strength scores in real-time.
Max Drawdown Display offers ongoing performance diagnostics.
Alert System automatically notifies users when allocations change (e.g., “50% ETH / 50% SOL” or “100% CASH”).
These visualization features make the indicator not only analytically robust but also intuitively interpretable, even in live market environments.
Summary and Usage Tips
The RS Alpha α w/ Confidence Period | viResearch indicator represents a sophisticated evolution of relative strength analysis — combining alpha–beta decomposition, multi-asset momentum ranking, and dynamic confidence filtering to provide a structured, risk-aware framework for crypto asset rotation.
By integrating market regime awareness with systematic selection logic, it helps traders identify when to participate, what to hold, and when to stay defensive.
For best results, apply on the 1D timeframe as recommended, and use it alongside other viResearch systematic models for portfolio-level insight and tactical confirmation.
Note: Past performance does not guarantee future results. The indicator is intended for research and educational purposes within TradingView.
