Logical Trading Indicator V.1Features of the Logical Trading Indicator V.1
ATR-Based Trailing Stop Loss
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to implement a dynamic trailing stop loss. You can customize the sensitivity of your alerts by adjusting the ATR Multiple and ATR Period settings.
Higher ATR Multiple values create wider stops, while lower values result in tighter stops. This feature ensures that your trades are protected against adverse price movements. For best practice, use higher values on higher timeframes and lower values on lower term timeframes.
Bollinger Bands
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 includes Bollinger Bands, which can be customized to use either a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the basis.
You can adjust the length and standard deviation multiplier of the Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your strategy. The color of the basis line changes to green when price is above and red when price is below the line to represent the trend.
The bands show a range vs a single band that also represents when the price is in overbought and oversold ranges similar to an RSI. These bands also control the take profit signals.
You also have the ability to change the band colors as well as toggle them off, which only affects the view, they are still active which will still fire the take profit signals.
Momentum Indicator
Our indicator offers a momentum filter option that highlights market momentum directly on the candlesticks, identifying periods of bullish, bearish, or consolidation phases. You can enable or disable this filter as needed, providing valuable insights into market conditions.
By default, you will see the candlestick colors represent the momentum direction as green or red, and consolidation periods as white, but the filter on the BUY and SELL signals is not active. The view options and filter can be toggled on and off in the settings.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 generates buy and sell signals based on a combination of ATR-based filtering, Bollinger Band basis crossover, and optional momentum conditions if selected in the settings. These signals help you make informed decisions about when to enter or exit a trade. You can also enable a consolidation filter to stay out of trades during tight ranges.
Basically a BUY signal fires when the price closes above the basis line, and the price meets or exceeds the ATR multiple from the previous candle length, which is also editable in the settings.
If the momentum filter is engaged, it will not fire BUY signals when in consolidation periods. It works just the opposite for SELL signals.
Take Profit Signals
We've integrated a Take Profit feature that helps you identify points to exit your trades with profits. The indicator marks Long Take Profit when prices close below the upper zone line of the Bollinger Bands after the previous candle closes inside the band, suggesting an optimal point to exit a long trade or consider a short position.
Conversely, Short Take Profit signals appear when prices close above the lower zone after the previous candle closes inside of it, indicating the right time to exit a short trade or contemplate a long position.
Alerts for Informed Trading
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 comes equipped with alert conditions for buy signals, sell signals, take profit points, and more. Receive real-time notifications to your preferred devices or platforms to stay updated on market movements and trading opportunities.
ADW - Volatility MapThe ADW - Volatility Map script is a tool for traders to measure and visualize the volatility of a specific asset. It uses both the Average True Range (ATR) and True Range (TR) values in combination with the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) to provide a comprehensive map of the market's volatility.
Average True Range (ATR) : ATR is a measure of market volatility. It measures the average of true price ranges over a time period. In this script, we use it to calculate the ATR-CCI which gives us a more precise measure of volatility.
True Range (TR) : TR is the greatest distance the price moved during a period. It is used in this script to calculate the TR-CCI, adding another level of detail to our volatility measurement.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI) : CCI is a versatile indicator that can be used to identify a new trend or warn of extreme conditions. We use it to scale and compare the ATR and TR values, hence providing a relative measure of volatility.
The script interprets the CCI values and provides four different conditions for both ATR and TR:
Is Low (CCI < 0)
Is High (CCI > 0)
Is Extremely Low (CCI <= -100)
Is Extremely High (CCI >= 100)
The interpretation of these conditions is displayed on the chart using colour highlighting. When the ATR or TR are low, high, extremely low, or extremely high, the script fills the chart accordingly.
In addition, the script has an option `awaitBarConfirmation` set at the beginning. If this is true, the script will only display indicators for fully formed bars, ensuring that the indicators you see are based on confirmed information.
Note: The colours for different conditions can be customized at the beginning of the script, allowing you to personalize the visual output to match your preferences.
This script is designed to provide a visually clear and immediate understanding of the market's volatility. Use it to enhance your decision-making process and adapt your trading strategy to the current market conditions.
TheATR™: Volatility Extremes (VolEx)Volatility is a crucial aspect of financial markets that is closely monitored by traders and investors alike. The traditional Average True Range (ATR) oscillator is a widely used technical indicator for measuring volatility in financial markets. However, there are limitations to the ATR oscillator, as it does not account for changing market conditions and may not adequately reflect extreme price movements. To address these limitations, TheATR has developed the VolEx indicator, which aims to identify extremes in the ATR oscillator by building dynamic thresholds using either a 'percentage' or 'standard deviation' based comparison with the value of the ATR.
The VolEx indicator utilizes a dynamic approach to measure volatility by considering the current level of the ATR oscillator relative to the dynamically generated thresholds. The dynamic thresholds are calculated based on the current ATR value and the chosen method of comparison (either 'percentage' or 'standard deviation'). If the ATR value exceeds the upper dynamic threshold, the market is experiencing high volatility, while a value below the lower dynamic threshold indicates low volatility.
The VolEx indicator offers several advantages over traditional volatility indicators, such as the ATR oscillator. First, it takes into account the changing market conditions and adjusts the thresholds accordingly. Second, it offers flexibility in the choice of the comparison method, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies. Finally, it provides clear signals for identifying extremes in volatility, which can be used to inform trading decisions.
In summary, the VolEx indicator developed by TheATR is a dynamic and flexible technical indicator that offers a robust approach to measuring volatility in financial markets. By utilizing dynamic thresholds and allowing for different comparison methods, the VolEx indicator provides a valuable tool for traders and investors seeking to identify extremes in market volatility..
NOTE: It is important to note that volatility, as measured by the VolEx indicator, does not provide any directional bias for the market movement. Rather, it simply indicates the degree to which the market is moving, regardless of direction. Traders and investors must use other technical or fundamental analysis tools to determine the direction of the market and make informed trading decisions based on their individual strategies and risk tolerance.

(JS) Checklist SignalsWhat if I told you that you could use over 10 indicators at once without having a single one of them on you chart? Enter the Checklist Signals. This is probably the most complex yet simple indicator I've ever done.
What you get is 6 rows (if you want them all) of labels that hover at the top of your screen with a ton of extremely useful information. I will go down the list of options in the indicator settings and explain how it all works.
So the label placement is based on ATR. You choose your X Axis and Y Axis starting point then adjust the lookback period. Default lookback is 600 bars. What that means is, the indicator finds the highest high in the last 600 bars, then begins to place the labels above that zone based on the ATR of the chart. Different timeframes require very different combinations so it's all customizable. Sometimes if labels overlap you need to adjust the X Axis starting point, or the spread on either axis.
The next set of options allows you to decide what you'd prefer to be set on or off. Let's start with ATR and VWAP. I have added bands for both of these. When price is below the mean (which is the 21 ema by default), then the labels show you the next 5 standard deviations of ATR going down. When under one of these levels the label turns red. The opposite is true when above the mean and in those instances the labels will be green. It is the same with the VWAP, though instead of using the mean we use the daily VWAP as the starting point. If you choose to have levels switched on then you can see the actual values of each standard deviation level. Down lower in the options you can change the resolution and source used for VWAP.
The next option is "Trending". This creates a moving average using the length of the Trending Lookback Period (default is 5) and then tells you using arrows in the label which direction the trend of the indicator is going.
The next area let's you specify the information you receive in the Squeeze labels. By default all options are one - and this tells you if there's a Squeeze, what type of Squeeze there is, and how many bars the Squeeze has been building up or since it fired. These labels are color coded to correspond with the Squeeze type as well.
Then we get to another one of my indicators, the Ballista. One of the main signals is the "Inverted Squeeze" where the short term momentum inverts against the long term momentum. Here I have the distance between the two oscillators in the first label, and then the second label tells you if there's an Inverted Squeeze signal, if there's potential entry, confirmed entry, or how many bars its been since the last entry signal.
The next feature is off by default, but it will add arrows to your chart based on a simple lower highs and higher lows signals. Turning arrows on will place them right on your chart above or below each bar.
The rest of it is customizable settings of all the other indicators that are shown. Now looking at the labels themselves, starting in the top left corner:
First Row-
ADX + DMI: These labels show the ADX, DI+, & DI- values in each label. Whenever the DI+ or DI- is above the other then their respective label will light up. Also, when the ADX is above 20 (confirming the trend) it lights up in the same color as well.
Squeeze: I described how this worked above, the labels tell you if there's a Squeeze, how long there's been one, and how long since it fired, all while also changing to color of the associated Squeeze type.
Second Row -
Stacked EMAs: The top label looks at the EMA values using the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence. It looks at the EMA 8, 21, 34, 55, 89, & 233 and tells you if they're all stacked in the same direction (Stacked Bear meaning they're all crossed down in order, Stacked Bull meaning they're all crossed up in order). If the EMAs are all stacked but 1 or 2 it will say Stacked -1 or Stacked -2. When they're all over the place it will say they aren't stacked at all.
BB%: This tells you the value of the Bollinger Band %. If this is negative then you know that price is currently below the lower Bollinger Band, and if it is above 100% it is above the upper Bollinger Band.
RSI: This tells you the value of the RSI and the label changes colors based on the value.
Stoch: This tells you the Stochastic value and changes colors based on the value, same as the RSI.
Third Row -
The Mean: This tells you the numerical value of whatever you have the mean set as (21 ema by default). The label changes colors based on price being above or below the mean.
One ATR: This was something I added for those looking to plan their trades out. This tells you the value of one ATR so you can have a better idea of how to plan your trades based on this distance.
VIX: This tells you the current value of the VIX, and color changes based on being green or red on the day.
Ballista: I explained this above, it tells you the distance between the two oscillators and changes colors based on the trend being above or below 0. When there's an Inverted Squeeze this label is gray.
Inverted Squeeze: This label tells you if there's an inverted squeeze as well as if it is showing an entry or how many bars since the last entry signal. This label turns fuchsia on a bear signal and lime on a bull signal.
Fourth Row -
ATR Bands: As I explained above, this plots each standard deviation using ATR and changes colors based on price's relationship to each one.
Fifth Row -
VWAP: The three labels here show the daily, weekly, and monthly VWAP values, and color changes based on price's relationship to each one.
Sixth Row -
VWAP Bands: These are the standard deviation levels of the VWAP resolution of your choosing (as explained above), and just as the others, colors change based on price's relationship to each one.
I thought this was a really cool indicator that could be used for people like me who like knowing the right information, but HATE having their charts clustered with a ton of stuff. Hope you all like it, enjoy!
Jeges JigsThis is a combination of all my old indicators, with an added feature for trend lines (inspiration for this came from Wedge Maker script thanks to veryfid, I hope he doesn't mind).
This script looks for a period with increased volatility , as measured by ATR ( Average True Range ), then it looks for a high or a low in that area.
When price is above EMA (400 is default, can be changed), it looks for the highs and adds multiples of ATR to the high. Default values for multipliers are 3,9 and 27, meaning that the script will show 3xATR level above the high, 9xATR above the high and 27xATR above the high.
When price is below EMA it looks for the lows and subtracts multiples of ATR from the low.The script will show 3xATR level below the low, 9xATR below the low and 27xATR below the low.
Multipliers values can be changed as well, making it a versatile tool that shows potential levels of suppport/resistance based on the volatility .
Possible use cases:
Breakout trading, when price crosses a certain level, it may show potential profit targets for trades opened at a breakout.
Stoploss helper. Many traders use ATR for their stoplosses, 1 ATR below the swing low for long trades and 1 ATR above the swing high for short trades are common values used by many traders. In this case, the Lookback value comes handy, if we want to look maybe at a more recent value for swing high/low point.
It highlights ATR peaks, it also displays Bollinger bands of SMA400 (or Ema), breakouts for upper/lower bands.
Another thing you get is Parabolic SAR and Zigzag based on SAR.
Baseline-C [ID: AC-P]The "AC-P" version of jiehonglim's NNFX Baseline script is my personal customized version of the NNFX Baseline concept as part of the NNFX Algorithm stack/structure for 1D Trend Trading for Forex. Everget's JMA implementation is used for the baseline smoothing method, with optional ATR bands at 1.0x and 1.5x from the baseline.
NNFX = No Nonsense Forex
Baseline = Component of the NNFX Algorithm that consists of a single moving average
Baseline ---> Meant to be used in conjunction with ATR/C1/C2/Vol Indicator/Exit Indicator as per NNFX Algorithm setup/structure. C1 is 1st Confirmation Indicator, C2 is 2nd Confirmation Indicator.
JMA (Jurik Moving Average) is used for the baseline and slow baseline.
A slow baseline option is included, but disabled by default.
The faint orange/purple lines are 1.0x/1.5x ATR from the Baseline, and are what I use as potential TP/SL targets or to evaluate when to stay out of a trade (chop/missed entry/exit/other/ATR breach), depending on the trade setup (in conjunction with C1/C2/Vol Indicator/Exit Indicator)
This script is heavily based upon jiehonglim's NNFX Baseline script for signaling, barcoloring, and ATR.
SSL Channel option included but disabled by default (Erwinbeckers SSL component)
POC (Point of Control) from Volume Profile is included/enabled by default for both the current timeframe and 12HR timeframe
03.freeman's InfoPanel Divergence Indicator was used a reference to replace the current/previous ATR information infopanel/info draw from jiehonglim's script. I'm not sure whether I like the previous way ATR info was displayed vs how I have it currently, but it's something that is completely optional:
Specifically: I am tuning this baseline/indicator for 1D trading as part of the NNFX system, for Forex.
DO NOT USE THIS INDICATOR WITHOUT PROPER TUNING/ADJUSTMENT for your timeframe and asset class.
Note about lack of alerts:
Alerts for baseline crosses (and other crosses) have been purposefully omitted for this version upon initial publication. While getting alerts for baseline crosses under certain conditions/filtered conditions that eliminate low-importance signals and crossover whipsaw would be great, it's something I'm still looking into.
SPECIFICALLY: There are entry, exit, take profit, and continuation signal components in relation to the Baseline to the rest of the NNFX Algorithm stack (ATR/C1/C2/Vol Indicator/Exit Indicator), including but limited to the "1 candle rule" and the "7 candle rule" as per NNFX.
Implementing alerts that are significant that also factor in these rules while reducing alert spam/false signals would be ideal, but it's also the HTF/Daily chart - visually, entry/exit/continuation signal alignment is easy to spot when trading 1D - alerts may be redundant/a pursuit in diminishing returns (for now).

Manual Back Test LinesI created this indicator to primarily manually test other indicators in replay mode.
To use this indicator generally you will:
Select trade type: long or short
Enter your ATR (enter the actual ATR). The indicator will then calculate and plot your SL and targets based on your values
Default Stop Loss is ATR * 1.5
Default Target 1 is ATR * 1.5
Default Target 2 is ATR * 3
Using this indicator on Replay mode is great. What you do is go back in time. Hit play and as the indicator(s) you use provide signals pause.
Pull up options:
Select trade type
Update ATR value
Change date to entry date. Typically if you are trading off the daily timeframe you are going to wait for your current day candle to close to provide signal. That would mean your entry would be on the next day.
Click play and watch, track and record how trade unfolds.
Future updates:
I'd like to be able to have some way to click one button and have it fire that enter trade right now on chart. Also I'm working on figuring out how to calculate the ATR on the entry date so that isn't required to be entered.
Finally, I'd like to have some auto calculation on when targets and SL are hit. I have this partially done but it's more important that I use this indicator than spend time or funds to update it to do that. But I do plan on updating.
Multi ATR Volatility Bands CockpitMulti ATR Volatility Bands Cockpit
Multi ATR Volatility Bands Cockpit is a read-only volatility context indicator designed to describe how volatile the market is and where price currently sits within that volatility, using an EMA anchor and multiple ATR-based envelopes.
This tool does not generate trade signals or place orders. It is intended to support situational awareness and contextual analysis across symbols and timeframes.
What this indicator shows
Volatility Regime
Classifies current volatility using ATR as a percentage of price (e.g., Quiet, Normal, Volatile, Extreme).
Envelope Structure
Uses multiple ATR envelopes around an EMA to visualize typical, elevated, and extreme volatility ranges.
Price Location
Describes where price is relative to the envelopes (inside, outside, or beyond typical ranges).
Plain-Language Context
A concise, non-actionable explanation of the current volatility environment.
What makes this indicator unique
Unlike traditional band indicators that require interpretation from the chart alone, this script includes a Volatility “Cockpit” panel that summarizes volatility conditions in a clear, structured, and descriptive format.
The cockpit:
Translates raw volatility metrics into labeled regimes
Separates context from decision-making
Is designed to reduce interpretation ambiguity rather than generate signals
This makes the indicator suitable as a context layer alongside other analysis tools, rather than a standalone decision engine.
Display modes
Cockpit (Minimal)
Clean overlay with the EMA, outer envelope, and informational panel.
Bands (Detail)
Full ATR band stack with optional fills for deeper inspection of volatility structure.
Important notes
Indicator only — no trade execution, no buy/sell signals, no alerts
All calculations are based on confirmed historical bar data
No lookahead logic is used
Results vary by symbol, timeframe, and parameter selection
Intended use
This indicator is designed for traders and analysts who want to understand volatility conditions before making decisions elsewhere, not for generating entries or exits on its own.
Adaptive Trend & SL SystemAdaptive Trend & Risk System
1. The Problem: "Naked" Signals
Most trend indicators on TradingView have a fatal flaw: they tell you when to enter, but they never tell you when to leave . They give you a "Buy" signal, but leave you guessing about where to place your Stop Loss or where to take profit.
A signal without a risk management plan is not a strategy—it's a gamble.
2. The Solution: A Complete Trading System
The Adaptive Trend & Risk System (ATS) is designed to be a complete "Turnkey" trading suite. It doesn't just generate signals; it manages the entire lifecycle of the trade.
It combines three distinct market concepts into one clean overlay:
Trend Detection: Uses a Hull Moving Average (HMA) baseline to determine the immediate market flow.
Signal Filtering: Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to filter out "fakeouts" and weak trends.
Dynamic Risk Management: Automatically calculates Volatility-Based (ATR) Stop Losses and Risk:Reward targets the moment a signal is generated.
3. How It Works (The Math)
The script operates on a strict "State Machine" logic. It remembers the state of your trade bar-by-bar.
The Entry (Strong Signals)
A "STRONG" signal is only generated when two conditions are met:
Price crosses the Trend Baseline.
ADX (Trend Strength) is above the threshold (Default: 25).
Note: Weak signals (small triangles) are shown when price crosses the baseline but ADX is low. These are risky and should be treated with caution.
The Stop Loss (Red/Green Crosses ++++)
Upon a strong entry, the script calculates a Stop Loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Long SL: Low - (ATR * Multiplier)
Short SL: High + (ATR * Multiplier)
The "Hard" Stop: Unlike trailing stops that move every bar, this SL is fixed to the volatility at the moment of entry. It only disappears if price hits it (marked by an Orange X ) or if a reversal signal occurs.
The Targets (Blue/Purple Dots oooo)
The script projects two Take Profit levels based on your risk:
TP1 (Blue Dots): 1.5x your Risk.
TP2 (Purple Dots): 3.0x your Risk.
Smart Visuals: If price hits TP1, the dots disappear to keep your chart clean, letting you focus on TP2.
4. How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Wait for a "STRONG" Label. Do not trade every crossover. Wait for the large triangle with the text label.
Step 2: Place your Entry at the close of the signal bar.
Step 3: Place your Physical Stop Loss exactly at the level of the Green/Red Crosses .
Step 4: Place Limit Orders at the Blue Dots (TP1) and Purple Dots (TP2) .
Management:
If the Orange X appears, your Stop Loss was hit. Exit the trade immediately.
If a Weak Signal (small triangle) appears against your trade, consider tightening your stops, as momentum may be fading.
5. Settings Guide
Trend Baseline Length: Controls the sensitivity of the trend filter. Higher = Fewer signals, longer trends.
ATR Length: Controls how "volatile" the Stop Loss calculation is.
Stop Loss Multiplier: The "breathing room" for your trade. 2.0 is standard. 3.0 is for volatile assets like Crypto.
TP Risk:Reward Ratios: Fully customizable. Default is 1.5R and 3.0R.

Level to level Multi-TF + ATRLevel to level Multi-Timeframe + ATR/ADR Daily Progress
This indicator is a complete multi-timeframe market structure and volatility toolkit, designed primarily for active forex traders.
It combines Williams Fractals on five higher timeframes (Weekly, Daily, H4, H1, M5) with a live ATR/ADR dashboard, allowing you to see at a glance how much of the typical daily move has already been completed and how much “room” the market realistically has left to run.
Fractals are drawn as arrows and colored zones that clearly mark swing highs and lows, supply/demand pockets, and key reaction areas. These zones can be used as dynamic support/resistance, liquidity pools, and target/stop regions. The multi‑TF design lets you read higher‑timeframe structure while executing on lower timeframes, which is ideal for scalping and intraday trading.
The built‑in volatility table shows:
ATR Progress (%) with green / yellow / red status to indicate whether the current session is still developing, mature, or potentially exhausted.
Daily ATR & ADR values in pips, so you always know the typical and current range of the day.
Done / Left range, highlighting how many pips have already been travelled from low to high, and how many are statistically left.
ATR and ADR projection lines are also plotted from the daily open, giving you clear intraday reference levels for take profit, stop placement, and expected session extremes.
This tool works especially well when combined with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) such as:
Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) using fractal highs/lows.
Liquidity grabs and stop hunts around fractal zones.
Order blocks and fair value gaps that overlap with higher‑TF fractals and ATR/ADR levels.
Use it on majors like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, XAU/USD or indices, on anything from fast M1–M5 scalping to H1–H4 swing trading. All colors, timeframes, sensitivities and volatility settings are fully customizable so you can adapt it to your own style and template.
Pro-Vision ATR + ExhaustionThis indicator is designed to provide Real-Time Volatility Guardrails. Unlike standard ATR indicators that plot a single line at the bottom of your chart, this tool projects volatility "shells" directly onto the price action from the current candle.
It answers the most critical question in a live trade: "How far can this stock move right now before it is statistically exhausted?"
The Components
Current ATR Centerpiece: The lines originate from the most recent price action, updating live with every tick.
Target Lines (1.5x ATR - Yellow): These represent the "Normal Expected Move." In a healthy trend, price often reaches these levels without much resistance.
Exhaustion Lines (3.0x ATR - Red): These represent "Extreme Volatility." Statistically, it is rare for price to sustain a move beyond 3x its average range in a single period without a pullback or consolidation.
How to Trade It
1. Profit Taking (The "Target" Exit)
If you are in a long position and price hits the Yellow Upper Line, it has achieved its expected volatility move for that timeframe.
Strategy: Scale out 50% of your position here. This locks in gains based on math rather than emotion.
2. Reversal Trading (The "Exhaustion" Play)
When price pierces or touches the Red Exhaustion Line, the asset is "overbought" or "oversold" relative to its recent volatility.
Strategy: Look for a reversal candle (like a shooting star or hammer) touching the red line.
The Trade: Short the asset at the red line with a tight stop, or close your long position immediately. These levels often act as "invisible" ceilings.
3. Setting "Smart" Stop Losses
Standard stops are often placed at arbitrary percentages. Using this indicator, you can place your stop just outside the 1.5x ATR line.
Strategy: If you enter a trade and price moves past the opposite ATR line, the volatility has shifted against you, and the original trade thesis is likely invalid.
4. Filtering Bad Entries (The "Don't Chase" Rule)
Strategy: If you are looking to go Long, but the price is already sitting at the Yellow Line, the "meat of the move" is likely over.
Rule: Never enter a new position if the price is already 75% of the way to the Red Exhaustion line. Wait for a mean reversion back to the middle.
MDZ Strategy v4.2 - Multi-factor trend strategyWhat This Strategy Does
MDZ (Momentum Divergence Zones) v4.2 is a trend-following strategy that enters long positions when multiple momentum and trend indicators align. It's designed for swing trading on higher timeframes (2H-4H) and uses ATR-based position management.
The strategy waits for strong trend confirmation before entry, requiring agreement across five different filters. This reduces trade frequency but aims to improve signal quality.
Entry Logic
A long entry triggers when ALL of the following conditions are true:
1. EMA Stack (Trend Structure)
Price > EMA 20 > EMA 50 > EMA 200
This "stacked" alignment indicates a strong established uptrend
2. RSI Filter (Momentum Window)
RSI between 45-75 (default)
Confirms momentum without entering overbought territory
3. ADX Filter (Trend Strength)
ADX > 20 (default)
Ensures the trend has sufficient strength, not a ranging market
4. MACD Confirmation
MACD line above signal line
Histogram increasing (momentum accelerating)
5. Directional Movement
+DI > -DI
Confirms bullish directional pressure
Exit Logic
Positions are managed with ATR-based levels:
ParameterDefaultDescriptionStop Loss2.5 × ATRBelow entry priceTake Profit6.0 × ATRAbove entry priceTrailing Stop2.0 × ATROptional, activates after entry
The default configuration produces a 1:2.4 risk-reward ratio.

Important Notes
⚠️ This is a long-only strategy. It does not take short positions.
⚠️ Historical results do not guarantee future performance. Backtests show what would have happened in the past under specific conditions. Markets change, and any strategy can experience drawdowns or extended losing periods.
⚠️ Risk management is your responsibility. The default settings risk 100% of equity per trade for backtesting purposes. In live trading, appropriate position sizing based on your risk tolerance is essential.
⚠️ Slippage and commissions matter. The backtest includes 0.02% commission and 1 tick slippage, but actual execution costs vary by broker and market conditions.
Best Practices
Test on your specific market — Results vary significantly across different instruments
Use appropriate position sizing — Never risk more than you can afford to lose
Combine with your own analysis — No indicator replaces understanding market context
Paper trade first — Validate the strategy matches your trading style before risking capital
Alerts
Two alerts are available:
MDZ Long Entry: Fires when all entry conditions are met
Uptrend Started: Fires when EMA stack first aligns bullish
Methodology
This strategy is based on the principle that trend continuation has better odds than reversal when multiple timeframe momentum indicators agree. By requiring five independent confirmations, it filters out weak setups at the cost of fewer total signals.
The ATR-based exits adapt to current volatility rather than using fixed pip/point targets, which helps the strategy adjust to different market conditions.

VIOP Scalping - ATR SNIPERVIOP Scalping – ATR SNIPER is a momentum-based scalping strategy designed to capture short, high-probability moves while keeping risk strictly defined using ATR-based stop-loss and fixed risk/reward targets. The strategy trades only when trend direction, momentum, and strength are aligned.
This script is provided for educational and testing purposes only. It does not guarantee profitability and must be used with proper risk management.
Core Idea
Trade in the direction of the dominant trend, confirm momentum acceleration, and manage risk using ATR-based dynamic stops and targets.
How the Strategy Works
The main trend is defined using a Weighted Moving Average (WMA).
Momentum is measured by the distance and direction between a fast EMA and a slow EMA.
Trend strength is confirmed using ADX.
RSI is used as a filter to avoid weak or overextended market conditions.
Entries are blocked during a predefined no-trade time window to avoid high-noise periods.
Long Entry Conditions
Fast EMA is above Slow EMA and the EMA difference is greater than the minimum threshold.
EMA momentum is increasing compared to the previous bar.
RSI is within the user-defined long range.
Current close is higher than the previous close.
ADX is above the minimum strength threshold.
Price is above the WMA trend line.
The current bar is not inside the no-trade session.
Short Entry Conditions
Fast EMA is below Slow EMA and the EMA difference is below the negative threshold.
Bearish EMA momentum is increasing.
RSI is within the user-defined short range.
Current close is lower than the previous close.
ADX is above the minimum strength threshold.
Price is below the WMA trend line.
The current bar is not inside the no-trade session.
Risk Management – ATR Sniper Logic
Stop-loss distance is calculated as ATR multiplied by the ATR Multiplier.
Take-profit distance is calculated using the defined Risk/Reward ratio.
Stop-loss and take-profit levels are dynamically calculated per trade.
Only one position can be open at any given time.
What You See on the Chart
Weighted Moving Average (WMA) trend line.
Fast EMA and Slow EMA lines.
Dynamic stop-loss line during active trades.
Dynamic take-profit line during active trades.
Recommended Use
Intraday scalping on VİOP instruments.
Momentum-based short-term trading.
Traders who prefer rule-based systems with strict risk control.
Always backtest and forward-test on your own instruments and timeframes before using this strategy in live markets.
Shock Wave: EMA9 Slope / ATR (Normalized) for SPYShock Wave – EMA9 Slope Normalized by ATR (Fragility Gauge)
This indicator measures trend fragility, not direction.
Instead of relying on visual trendline angles (which change with zoom and chart scaling), this tool normalizes the slope of the 9-EMA by ATR, producing a scale-independent steepness metric that remains consistent across timeframes and zoom levels.
The goal is to identify late-stage acceleration and liquidity vulnerability — conditions where price is advancing faster than inventory can rebalance and the market becomes sensitive to forced liquidation.
What this indicator shows
Normalized EMA9 slope (ATR per bar)
An angle-like degree value derived from the normalized slope (for intuition only)
Background shading to highlight trend maturity / fragility
A compact table showing live readings on the chart
How to interpret
Green / low values (< ~0.30 ATR/bar): Healthy, sustainable trend
Orange / mid values (~0.30–0.40 ATR/bar): Late-stage acceleration
Red / high values (≥ ~0.45 ATR/bar): Fragile / liquidation-prone conditions
These thresholds are empirically derived from historical index behavior (e.g., SPY prior to 2018, 2020, 2022 volatility events).
Important notes
This is not a buy or sell signal
Red does not mean “short”
The indicator highlights risk asymmetry, not timing
Best used on higher timeframes (weekly) in conjunction with liquidity, inducement, and higher-timeframe structure analysis
Why use this
Markets often fail after strong trends, not because they are weak, but because they are crowded. This tool helps quantify when a trend has become structurally vulnerable, providing context for liquidity-based frameworks and macro risk management.
Daily ATR Dashboard - NIRALADaily ATR Dashboard: Volatility at a Glance
What is this?
The "Daily ATR Dashboard" is a simple, non-intrusive utility tool designed for intraday traders. It places a clean information table in the top-right corner of your chart, displaying the Daily Average True Range (DATR) for the current session and the previous two days.
Why is it useful?
Understanding daily volatility is crucial for setting realistic targets and stop-losses.
Know the Range: Instantly see how much the instrument typically moves in a day.
Context: Compare today's volatility with yesterday's and the day before to gauge if the market is expanding (becoming more volatile) or contracting (consolidating).
Clean Charts: Instead of plotting a messy ATR line indicator below your price action, this dashboard gives you the raw data you need without cluttering your workspace.
Features:
Real-Time Data: The "Today" row updates in real-time as the current daily candle develops.
Historical Context: Automatically fetches and displays the final DATR values for the previous two sessions ("Yesterday" and "Day Before").
Highlighted Current Day: The current day's data is highlighted in yellow for immediate visibility.
Customizable: You can adjust the ATR length (default is 14) and the text size to fit your screen perfectly.
How to Read It:
Today: The current volatility of the ongoing daily session.
Yesterday / Day Before: The finalized volatility of past sessions.
Tip: If "Today's" ATR is significantly lower than the previous days, expect potential expansion or a breakout soon. If it is significantly higher, the market may be overextended.
Settings:
DATR Length: The lookback period for the ATR calculation (Default: 14).
Text Size: Adjust the size of the table text (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).

Uptrick: Volume Weighted BandsIntroduction
This indicator, Uptrick: Volume Weighted Bands, overlays dynamic, volume-informed trend channels directly on the chart. By fusing price and volume data through volume-weighted and exponential moving averages, the script forms a core trend line with adaptive bandwidth controlled by volatility. It is designed to help traders identify trend direction, breakout entries, and extended conditions that may warrant take-profits or pullback re-entries.
Overview
The Volume Weighted Bands system is built around a trend line calculated by averaging a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), both over a configurable lookback period. This hybrid trend baseline is then smoothed further and expanded into dynamic upper and lower bands using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier. These bands adapt with market volatility and shift color based on prevailing price action, helping traders quickly identify bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Originality and Unique Features
This script introduces originality by blending both price and volume in the core trend calculation, a technique that is more responsive than traditional moving average bands. Its multi-mode visualization (cloud, single-band, or line-only), combined with selective buy/sell signals, makes it flexible for discretionary and algorithmic strategies alike. Optional modules for take-profit signals based on z-score deviation and RSI slope, as well as buy-back detection logic with cooldown filters, offer practical tools for managing trades beyond simple entries.
Explanation of Inputs
Every user input in this script is included to give the trader control over behavior and visual presentation:
Trend Length (len): Defines the lookback window for both the VWMA and EMA, controlling the sensitivity of the core trend baseline. A lower value makes the bands more reactive, while a higher value smooths out short-term noise.
Extra Smoothing (smoothLen): Applies an additional EMA to the blended VWMA/EMA average. This second-level smoothing ensures the central trend line reacts gradually to shifts in price.
Band Width (ATR Multiplier) (bandMult): Multiplies the ATR to create the width of the upper and lower bands around the trend line. Larger values widen the bands, capturing more volatility, while smaller values narrow them.
ATR Length (atrLen): Sets the length of the ATR used in calculating band width and signal offsets. Longer values produce smoother band boundaries.
Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles the primary crossover/crossunder entry signals, which are labeled when the close crosses the upper or lower band.
Visual Mode (visualMode): Allows selection between three display modes:
--> Cloud: Shows both bands and the central trend line with a shaded background.
--> Single Band: Displays only the active (upper or lower) band depending on trend state, with gradient fill to price.
--> Line Only: Shows only the trend line for a minimal visual profile.
Take Profit Signals (enableTP): Enables a z-score-based profit-taking signal system. Signals occur when price deviates significantly from the trend line and RSI confirms exhaustion.
TP Z-Score Threshold (tpThreshold): Sets the z-score deviation required to trigger a take-profit signal. Higher values reduce the frequency of signals, focusing on more extreme moves.
Re-Entries (enableBuyBack): Enables logic to signal when price reverts into the band after an initial breakout, suggesting a possible re-entry or pullback setup.
Buy Back Cooldown (bars) (buyBackCooldown): Defines a minimum bar count before a new buy-back signal is allowed, preventing rapid retriggering in choppy conditions.
Buy Offset and Sell Offset: Hidden inputs used to vertically adjust the placement of the Buy ("𝓤𝓹") and Sell ("𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷") labels relative to the bands. These use ATR units to maintain proportionality across different instruments and timeframes.
Take-Profit Signal Module
The take-profit module uses a z-score of the distance between price and the trend line to detect extended conditions. In bullish trends, a signal appears when price is well above the band and RSI indicates exhaustion; the opposite applies for bearish conditions. A boolean flag is used to prevent retriggering until RSI resets. These signals are plotted with minimalist “X” markers near recent highs or lows, based on whether the market is extended upward or downward.
Re-Entry Logic
The re-entry system identifies instances where price momentarily dips or spikes into the opposite band but closes back inside, implying a continuation of the prevailing trend. This module can be particularly useful for traders managing entries after brief pullbacks. A built-in cooldown period helps filter out noise and prevents signal overloading during fast markets. Visual markers are shown as upward or downward arrows near the relevant candle wicks.
How to Use This Indicator
The basic usage of this indicator follows a directional, signal-driven approach. When a buy signal appears, it suggests entering a long position. The recommended stop loss placement is below the lower band, allowing for some breathing space to accommodate natural volatility. As the position progresses, take partial profits—typically 10% to 15% of the position—each time a take-profit signal (marked with an "X") is shown on the chart.
An optional feature is the buy-back signal, which can be used to re-enter after partial exits or missed entries. Utilizing this can help reduce losses during false breakouts or trend reversals by scaling in more gradually. However, it also means that in strong, clean trends, the full position may not be captured from the start, potentially reducing the total return. It is up to the trader to decide whether to enter fully on the initial signal or incrementally using buy-backs.
When a sell signal appears, the strategy advises fully exiting any long positions and immediately switching to a short position. The short trade follows the same logic: place your stop loss above the upper band with some margin, and again, take partial profits at each take-profit signal.
Visual Presentation and Signal Labels
All signals are plotted with clean, minimal labels that avoid clutter, and are color-coded using a custom palette designed to remain clear across light and dark chart themes. Bullish trends are marked in teal and bearish trends in magenta. Candles and wicks are also colored accordingly to align price action with the detected trend state. Buy and sell entries are marked with "𝓤𝓹" and "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" labels.
Summary
In summary, the Uptrick: Volume Weighted Bands indicator provides a versatile, visually adaptive trend and volatility tool that can serve multiple styles of trading. Through its integration of price, volume, and volatility, along with modular take-profit and buy-back signaling, it aims to provide actionable structure across a range of market conditions.

Twisted Forex's Doji + Area StrategyTitle
Twisted Forex’s Doji + Area Strategy
Description
What this strategy does
This strategy looks for doji candles forming inside or near supply/demand areas . Areas are built from swing pivots and sized with ATR, then tracked for retests (“confirmations”). When a doji prints close to an area and quality checks pass, the strategy places a trade with the stop beyond the doji and a configurable R:R target.
How areas (zones) are built
• Swings are detected with a user-set pivot length.
• Each swing spawns a horizontal area centered at the pivot price with half-height = zoneHalfATR × ATR .
• Duplicates are de-duplicated by center distance (ATR-scaled).
• Areas fade when broken beyond a buffer or after an optional age (expiry).
• Retests are recorded when price touches and then bounces away from the area; repeated reactions increase the zone’s “strength”.
Signal logic (summary)
Doji detection: strict or loose body criteria with optional minimum wick fractions and ATR-scaled minimum range.
Proximity: price must be inside/near a supply or demand area (proxATR × ATR).
Side resolution: overlap is resolved by (a) which side price penetrates more, (b) fast/slow EMA trend, or (c) nearest distance. Optional “previous candle flip” can bias long after a bearish candle and short after a bullish one.
Optional 1-bar confirmation: the bar after the doji must close away from the area by confirmATR × ATR .
Quality filter (Off/Soft/Strict): four checks—(i) wick rejection past the edge, (ii) doji closes in an edge “band” of the area, (iii) fresh touch (cooldown), (iv) approach impulse over a short lookback. In Strict , thresholds auto-tighten.
Orders & exits
• Long: stop below doji low minus buffer; Short: above doji high plus buffer.
• Target = rrMultiple × risk distance .
• Pyramiding is off by default.
Position sizing
You can size from the script or from Strategy Properties:
• Script-driven (default): set Position sizing = “Risk % of equity” and choose riskPercent (e.g., 1.0%). The script applies safe floors/rounding (FX micro-lots by default) so quantity never rounds to zero.
• Properties-driven : toggle Use TV Properties → Order size ON, then pick “Percent of equity” in Properties (e.g., 1%). The header includes safe defaults so trades still place.
Key inputs to explore
• Zone building : pivotLen, zoneHalfATR, minDepartureATR, expiryBars, breakATR, leftBars, dedupeATR.
• Doji & proximity : strictDoji, dojiBodyFrac, minWickFrac, minRangeATR, proxATR, minBarsBetween.
• Overlap resolution : usePenetration, useTrend (EMA 21/55), “previous candle flip”, needNextBarConf & confirmATR.
• Quality : qualityMode (Off/Soft/Strict), minQualPass/kStrict, wickPenATR, edgeBandFrac, approachLookback, approachMinATR, freshTouchBars.
• Zone strength gating : minStrengthSoft / minStrengthStrict.
• HTF confluence (optional) : useHTFTrend (HTF EMA 34/89) and/or useHTFZoneProx (HTF swing bands).
Tips to make it cleaner / higher quality
• Turn needNextBarConf ON and use confirmATR = 0.10–0.15 .
• Increase approachMinATR (e.g., 0.35–0.45) to require a stronger pre-touch impulse.
• Raise minStrengthSoft/Strict (e.g., 4–6) so only well-reacted zones can signal.
• Use signalsOnlyConfirmed ON if you prefer trades only from zones with retests (the script falls back gracefully when none exist yet).
• Nudge proxATR to 0.5–0.6 to demand tighter proximity to the level.
• Optional: enable useHTFTrend to filter counter-trend setups.
Default settings used in this publication
• Initial capital: 100,000 (illustrative).
• Slippage: 1 tick; Commission: 0% (you can raise commission if you prefer—spread is partly modeled by slippage).
• Sizing: Risk % of equity via inputs; riskPercent = 1.0% ; FX uses micro-lot floors by default.
• Quality: Off by default (Soft/Strict available).
• HTF trend gate: Off by default.
Backtesting notes
For a meaningful sample size, test on liquid symbols/timeframes that yield 100+ trades (e.g., majors on 5–15m over 1–2 years). Backtests are modelled and broker costs/spread vary—validate on your feed and forward-test.
How to read the chart
Shaded bands are supply (above) and demand (below). Brighter bands are the nearest K per side (visual aid). BUY/SELL labels mark entries; colored dots show entry/SL/TP levels. You can hide zones or unconfirmed zones for a cleaner view.

nATR*ATR Multiplication Indicator - Optimal Selection Tool forThis indicator is specifically designed as an analysis tool for investors using grid bot strategies. It displays both nATR (Normalized Average True Range) and ATR (Average True Range) values on a single chart screen, calculating the multiplication of these two critical volatility measurements.
Primary Purpose of the Indicator:
To facilitate the selection of the most optimal stock and time period for grid bot trading. The nATR*ATR multiplication provides a hybrid measurement that combines both percentage-based return potential (nATR) and absolute volatility magnitude (ATR).
Importance for Grid Bot Strategy:
High nATR: Greater percentage-based return potential
High ATR: Wider price range = Fewer grid levels = More budget allocation per grid
Formula: Price Range/ATR = Theoretical Grid Count
Usage Advantages:
Test different time periods to find the highest multiplication value
Make optimal stock and time frame selections for grid bot setup
Monitor both nATR and ATR values on a single screen
High multiplication values indicate ideal conditions for grid bots
Technical Features:
Adjustable calculation period (1-500 candles)
Visual alert system (high/low multiplication values)
Real-time value tracking table
SMA-based smoothed calculations
This serves as a reliable guide for grid bot investors in optimal timing and stock selection.
