DMI-ADX HistogramThe Average Direction Index (ADX) coupled with the Direction Movement Index (DMI), developed by J. Welles Wilder, is a popular indicator that measures trend direction and strength.
The AX line (blue) is used to show the strength of the current trend. It does not tell you the trend direction. The under laid histogram shows relative movements of the price with green showing positive momentum and red showing negative momentum. Use these ADX and DMI together to find trend strength and direction.
- ADX line below 20 indicates that the underlying is in accumulation/distribution.
- ADX line above 20 mean that the underlying is trending with over 60 being very strong.
*When the ADX line is below 20 it is likely to see many reversal signals on the DMI Histogram. It is best to use the DMI signals when the ADX line is above 20 or higher. This is also a good level to play around with.
Motivation
Normally the direction movements are plotted as lines with the DI+ being green and the DI- being red. When the DI+ (green) crosses over DI- (red) this may indicate a buy signal, and vice versa. I found this visual representation made it difficult to see signals as well as lacked the ability to easy see the relative strength of other moves.
I have also noticed that the histogram values will periodically cross the ADX line, but not for very long periods. This could be a useful signal to explore further in the future.
In this image the top indicator is using the normal DI+/- lines, where the bottom indicator is using an absolute histogram.

angle bar colors [LM]Hello guys,
I would like to introduce you angle bar colors indicator. It colors bars depending the angle of the bar x length back and current one
lime angle > 70 degrees
green 20 < angle < 70 degrees
orange 0 > angle <= 20 degrees
purple 0 > angle >= -20 degrees
red -20 > angle > -70 degrees
maroon angle < -70 degrees
Any suggestions are welcome
ADX + DI x Upgraded to Pine v4 x KingThiesAverage Directional Movement Index
Momentum based tool to measure trend strength on scale of 1-100
Similar to the aroon but incorporates a 3rd measure, while aroon uses two
The majority of these calculations were pre-existing in older pine scripts but have since been updated
signals are given when -DI and +DI cross, ADX illustrates corresponding strength at time of cross
Full Intro
ADX can help investors to identify trend strengths, as di - di determines the trend direction, while d - d is an impulse indicator. If the ADX is below 20, it can be considered impulsive, while it is above 25 on a trend line.
A trading signal can be generated when the di - DI line is switched to d - d and vice versa. If the di-line crosses and the ADX is above 20 (ideally 25), a potential buy signal could ebb away.
If the ADX is above 20, there is the possibility of potential short selling if the DI crosses over DI. You can also use crosses to get out of the current deal if you need it for a long time.
If the di-line is crossed and the Adx is below 20 (or 25), there may be opportunities to enter the potential for short trading, but only if di are above or below DI or if the price is trendy and may not prove to be the ideal time to start trading.

Trend QualityThe quality of the current trend is calculated by adding or subtracting
one point to the total value depending on the following criteras:
1. EMA-8, MA-20, MA-50, MA-100, MA-200 , each get a point if they are increasing.
2. EMA-8 > MA-20 > MA-20 > MA-50 > MA-100 > MA-200 , each condition that is true gets one point.
On top of the Trend Quality value we apply a "weekly" (5 periods) and
a "monthly" (22 periods) moving average.
When above a value of 5, a strong trend is indicated and hence
a trend following strategy should be used.
Use this to Buy when bouncing back from e.g MA-20 or a confirming
consolidation/candlestick/trendline pattern.
When the trend decreases below Zero a trend shift may have occured.

Simple Moving Average Double HelixThis one is a mix of colour-coded moving averages and Ichimoku. It features two pairs of SMAs--default values of 9/20 and 50/200. Each SMA will be green when it rises and red when it falls. The spaces between each pair will fill with green or red depending on which line is on top. 9 over 20 or 50 over 200 makes a green cloud; if 9 or 50 falls below, the cloud will switch to green.
There's also the Ichimoku lagging span and a 35-period SMA (grey) that can be used as a trailing stop loss guideline.
Ideal long setup:
9, 20, 50, and 200 SMA are all green
both clouds are green
lagging span is above historic price action
Ideal short setup:
9, 20, 50, and 200 SMA are all red
both clouds are red
lagging span is below historic price action
TA Basics: further "Steps" with our Moving AverageSo far in this series of posts, we have worked thru creating a basic zero-lag moving average, then moved forward all the way to coding a "Fibonacci" Weighted Moving Average.
in this post we take a look at a technique that can help traders minimize noise in the underlying data and get better insight on the changes that are happening in the data series represented by the moving average. we'll look at adding "stepping" to our Fibonacci Moving Average as an example. we introduce the Stepping Fibonacci Moving Average , or Step_FiMA
note that you can use the same technique with any plot you may have. feel free to copy or leverage the relevant parts of the script - the script is commented to make this easier.
How is this useful?
==================
with "stepping", you get your indicator to "round" the outcome into pre-specified bands or ranges. this works very similar to how, for example, range or Renko charts work. you can easily see the difference in the chart above once we look at a non-stepped and a stepping moving average of the same length side-by-side
the more granular your timeframe is, you will see the effect of the stepping clearer - here's how the same chart looks when we go into the 1-hr aggregation
Notes about this script
====================
there are couple of pieces i wanted to highlight in the script if you plan to use some of it :
1 - the step(x) function is meant to try to automatically pick the best "suitable" step size based on the range of the underlying series (for example, the closing price). these ranges i included here in the code are just my own "best choices" - you are totally welcome to adjust these ranges and the resulting step size to your own preference
2 - we applied the stepping as a user-choice. user can choose a manual entry, or "0" to get the code to automatically pick the step size, or enter -1 (or actually any value below zero) to cancel the stepping option altogether - this gives us some flexibility on how to use the stepping in an indicator
3 - very important (and somehow confusing): on the "rounding" approach:
the magic math formula that actually creates the stepping is this one
result = round(input / step) * step
now, this tells the script to "round" the result up or down (the basic rounding) -- so for example, a price of 17 with a step of 5 would be rounded (down) to 15, where as a price of 18 would be rounded "up" to 20 -- this is not the way some of us would expect or want, cause the price never reached 20 and they would want an 18 to still be rounded to 15 - and the stepping line not to show 20 *until* the price actually hits or exceeds 20 -- in that case, you would need to replace the function "round" with the function "floor" --
so the new formula becomes: floor(input / step) * step
-- in an ideal world, we can make this rounding choice a user-option in the settings -- maybe in an improved version
4 - we kept the smoothing option, and it takes place before the stepping is applied - we continue to use that smoothing to further minimize the level changes in the FiMA line.
I hope you find this script useful in your journey with technical analysis and DIY scripting, and good luck in your trading.
BTC and ETH Long strategy - version 1I will start with a small introduction about myself. I'm now trading cryto currencies manually for almost 2 years. I decided to start after watching a documentary on the TV showing people who made big money during the Bitcoin pump which happened at the end of 2017.
The next day, I asked myself "Why should I not give it a try and learn how to trade".
This was in February 2018 and the price of Bitcoin was around 11500USD.
I didn't know how to trade. In fact, I didn't know the trading industry at all.
So, my first step into trading was to open an account with a broken. Then I directly bought 200$ worst of BTC . At that time, I saw the graph and thought "This can only go back in the upward direction!" :)
I didn't know anything about Stop loss, Take profit and Risk management.
Today, almost 2 years after, I think that I know how to trade and can also confirm that I still hold this bag of 200$ of bitcoin from 2018 :)
I did spend the 2 last years to learn technical analysis , risk management and leverage trading.
Today (14/05/2020), I know what I'm doing and I'm happy to see that the 2 last years have been positive in terms of gains. Of course, I did not make crazy money with my saving but at least I made more than if I would have kept it in my bank account.
Even if I like trading, I have a full time job which requires my full energy and lots of focus, so, the biggest problem I had is that I didn't have enough time to look at the charts.
Also, I realized that sometimes, neither technical analysis , nor fundamentals worked with crypto currency (at least for short time trading). So, as I have a developer background I decided to try to have a look at algo trading.
The goal for me was neither to make complex algos nor to beat the market but just to automate my trading with simple bot catching the big waves.
I then started to take a look at TV pine script and played with it.
I did my first LONG script in February 2020 to Long the BTC Market. It has some limitations but works well enough for me for the time being. Even if the real trades will bring me half of what the back testing shows, this will still be a lot more than what I was used to win during the last 2 years with my manual trading.
So, here we are! Below you will find some details about my first LONG script. I'm happy to share it with you.
Feel free to play with it, give your comments and bring improvements to it.
But please note that it only works fine with the candle size and crypto pair that I have mentioned below. If you use other settings this algo might loose money!
- Crypto pairs : XBTUSD and ETHXBT
- Candle size: 2 Hours
- Indicator used: Volatility , MACD (12, 26, 7), SMA (100), SMA (200), EMA (20)
- Default StopLoss: -1.5%
- Entry in position if: Volatility < 2%
AND MACD moving up
AND AME (20) moving up
AND SMA (100) moving up
AND SMA (200) moving up
AND EMA (20) > SAM (100)
AND SMA (100) > SMA (200)
- Exit the postion if: Stoploss is reached
OR EMA (20) crossUnder SMA (100)
Here is a summary of the results for this script:
XBTUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +107%
ETHXBT : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +39%
ETHUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +112%
It is far away from being perfect. There are still plenty of things which can be done to improve it but I just wanted to share it :) .
Enjoy playing with it....

Inputs:
• # of Candles to analyze (default = 20)
Pivot trend indicatorThis is a LAGGING indicator which can provide a good indication of trend. It require a certain (configurable) number of candles to have closed before it can determine whether a pivot has formed.
It provides a 20 period SMA for the timeframe of your choice which is color coded to show the trend according to confirmed pivots.
Anticipated usage:
Long / Short bias is determined by pivot trend
Trader seeks entries according to their strategy
Black consolidation areas may trigger a re-evaluation of the trade and can serve as good profit taking areas
The SMA colors:
Green -> Higher highs & Higher lows
Red -> Lower highs & Lowers lows
Black -> No clear trend from the pivots
Why the 20 SMA?
Feel free to adjust it for your purposes. I personally find that using a higher time frame 20 SMA is a better indication of trend than longer period MAs on shorter time frames. This can be seen from comparing the 20 daily SMA and 200 hourly SMA.
Pivot adjustment
The pivots use the selected time frame (not) the MA trend time frame. You can specify the left and right candles required to confirm a pivot
VIX reversion-Buschi
English:
A significant intraday reversion (commonly used: 3 points) on a high (over 20 points) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) can be a sign of a market bottom, because there is the assumption that some of the "big guys" liquidated their options / insurances because the worst is over.
This indicator shows these reversions (3 points as default) when the VIX was over 20 points. The character "R" is then shown directly over the daily column, the VIX need not to be loaded explicitly.
Deutsch:
Eine deutliche Intraday-Umkehr (3 Punkte im Normalfall) bei einem hohen (über 20 Punkte) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) kann ein Zeichen für eine Bodenbildung im Markt sein, weil möglicherweise einige "große Jungs" ihre Optionen / Versicherungen auflösen, weil das schlimmste vorbei ist.
Dieser Indikator zeigt diese Umkehr (Standardwert: 3 Punkte), wenn der VIX vorher über 20 Punkte lag. Der Buchstabe "R" wird dabei direkt über dem Tagesbalken angezeigt, wobei der VIX nicht explizit geladen werden muss.
Triple Moving Average HeatmapHi everyone
I didn't publish on Friday because I was working on an Expert Advisor in MT4. The day I don't publish, some scripts spamming guys published many (not useful) scripts the same to kick me out of the TOP #1 ranking.
So what I'm going to do about it? crying or sharing more quality scripts than before? :)
I guess you know the answer :) I'm gonna share a few quality scripts that I have in my library. I noticed that you guys tend to like more the scripts useful for your trading actually making you money rather than a copy-paste (of another copy-paste)
Alright, enough for the trolling now let's introduce the Three MA heatmap which is an upgrade of that script : MA-heatmap-Double-cross-edition/
The challenge was to keep the heatmap not rolling and to make it match with the MA cross. I did it using this
```
since_ma_buy = barssince(macrossover)
since_ma_sell = barssince(macrossunder)
heatmap_color() =>
since_ma_buy < since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.green, 20) : since_ma_buy > since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
This is a technique that I found after drinking three glasses of red wine (#french) to keep the heatmap stable and not rolling.
To get what I'm saying I invite you to replace the piece of code above by what everyone would normally do
```
heatmap_color() =>
macrossunder() ? color.new(color.green, 20) : macrossover() ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
Ah and I'm not done sharing for the day, a few scripts are coming also after that one and tonight !!!!! I want to live in a world where you guys can enjoy quality scripts (mostly) :)

The 6 Line Death PunchIf you are looking to discover what trend you are in, you need to first what direction the price is going in...
I've been using and testing a mixture of EMA's and SMA's for a long time and I've found that these ones are by far the best.
EMA 3
EMA 8
MA 20
EMA 55
MA 100
MA 200
EMA 3 & 8 Crossover is a good method for confirming a coin going to the upside or to the downside.
EMA 8 is known as the Trigger Line (trademarked brand) as one of the fib numbers it shows good support or resistance of a trend.
MA 20 universal way of seeing trend direction in the stock market, works well with crypto too.
EMA 55, another trusty fib number. Works very well and could trade off that alone as support and resistance.
MA 100 and MA 200. Long ranged moving averages which govern the overall longer-term trend.
LONG ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles above EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles above MA 20
Option 4 - Candles Above EMA 55.
SHORT ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles below EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles below MA 20
Option 4 - Candles below EMA 55.
Signals for call and putSorry for the Google Translate English
Indicator for signals of call and put, using Bollinger bands (period 20, standard deviation 2.5), market trend of (sma, períod 100) and stochastic (period 20, %D 3).
I was overthrown but in pine scrip, the function "stoch()" no way to smooth (3). If anyone knows how to smooth inside the script, help me! Please.
With smoothed stochastic the hit rate grows a lot.

XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):
BEKB(Bekaert): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=44, Strength-Buy=65, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=55, Strength-Sell=120, Stop#ATR=20

W%R Pullback+EMA Trend [TS_Indie]🔰 Core Concept of the Strategy
The main idea is “Trend-Following with Momentum Pullback.”
This means trading in the direction of the main trend (defined by EMA) while using Williams %R to identify pullback entries (buying the dip or selling the rally) where momentum returns to the trend direction.
📊 Indicators Used
1. EMA Fast – Defines the short-term trend.
2. EMA Slow – Defines the long-term trend (used as a trend filter).
3. Williams %R
• Overbought zone: above -20
• Oversold zone: below -80
⚙️ Entry Rules
🔹 Buy Setup
1. EMA Fast > EMA Slow → Uptrend condition.
2. Williams %R on the previous candle dropped below -80, and on the current candle, it crosses back above -80 → indicates momentum returning to the upside.
3. Current close is above EMA Fast.
4. Entry Buy at the close of the candle where %R crosses above -80.
🎯 Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit
1. Entry : At the candle close where the signal occurs.
2. Stop Loss : At the lowest low between the current and previous candles.
3. Take Profit : Calculated based on entry price and stop loss distance multiplied by the Risk/Reward Ratio.
🔹 Sell Setup
1. EMA Fast < EMA Slow → Downtrend condition.
2. Williams %R on the previous candle went above -20, and on the current candle, it crosses back below -20 → indicates renewed selling momentum.
3. Current price is below EMA Fast.
4. Entry Sell at the close of the candle where %R crosses below -20.
🎯 Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit
1. Entry : At the candle close where the signal occurs.
2. Stop Loss : At the highest high between the current and previous candles.
3. Take Profit : Calculated based on entry price and stop loss distance multiplied by the Risk/Reward Ratio.
⚙️ Optional Parameters
• Custom Risk/Reward Ratio for Take Profit.
• Option to add ATR buffer to Stop Loss.
• Adjustable EMA Fast period.
• Adjustable EMA Slow period.
• Adjustable Williams %R period.
• Option to enable Long only / Short only positions.

Guys, try adjusting the parameters yourselves!
I’ve been tweaking the settings for several days and managed to get great results on XAU/USD in the 5-minute timeframe.
I think this strategy is quite interesting and could potentially deliver good results on other instruments as well.
