Best Buying & Selling Flip Zone @MaxMaserati 3.0Best Buying & Selling Flip Zone 3.0 🐂🐻
Best Buying & Selling Flip Zone 3.0 is an advanced, multi-timeframe Price Action tool designed to identify high-probability institutional supply and demand zones.
By analyzing candle range and body size (Expander vs. Normal candles), this indicator categorizes market structure shifts into three distinct tiers of strength (A+++, A++, A+). It includes a built-in Trade Manager, Volume Tracking, and a unique "Defender/Attacker" Multi-Timeframe (MTF) entry confirmation system.
🚀 Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Monitor Higher Timeframe (HTF) zones while trading on a Lower Timeframe (LTF).
Tiered Setup Grading: Automatically classifies zones based on the strength of the candle engulfing action (King Slayer, Crusher, Drift).
Smart Entry Confirmation: The script can wait for price to tap an HTF zone and then automatically search for a confirmation pattern on the current timeframe before signaling a trade.
Built-in Trade Management: Visualizes Entry, Stop Loss (SL), and Take Profit (TP) levels with customizable Risk:Reward ratios.
Volume Tracking: Monitors the volume utilized to create a zone and tracks "remaining" volume as price tests the zone.
Zone Deletion Logic: Automatically removes zones that have been invalidated by either a wick or a candle close.
🧠 How It Works: The "A-Grade" Logic
The indicator analyzes candles based on their body-to-range ratio to define "Expander" (Explosive move) vs. "Normal" candles. It then looks for engulfing behaviors to create zones:
A+++ (King Slayer):
Logic: A Bullish Expander engulfs a Bearish Expander (or vice versa).
Significance: This is the strongest signal, indicating a massive shift in momentum where aggressive buyers completely overwhelmed aggressive sellers.
A++ (Crusher):
Logic: A Bullish Expander engulfs a Bearish Normal candle.
Significance: Strong momentum overcoming standard price action. High probability.
A+ (Drift):
Logic: A Bullish Normal candle engulfs a Bearish Normal candle.
Significance: A standard flip zone. Good for continuation plays but less aggressive than KS or CR setups.
🛠️ Functionality Guide
1. General Filters & Timeframes
Higher Timeframe: Select a timeframe higher than your chart (e.g., Select 4H while trading on 15m). The indicator will draw the major zones from the 4H.
Deletion Logic:
Wick (Hard): Zone is removed immediately if price touches the invalidation level.
Close (Soft): Zone is removed only if a candle closes past the invalidation level.
2. LTF Entry Confirmation (The "Master" Switch)
When Show LTF Entry Logic is enabled, the indicator does not signal immediately upon an HTF zone creation. Instead:
It waits for the price to retraced and touch the HTF zone.
Once touched, it scans the current timeframe for a valid flip setup (KS, CR, or DR).
It creates a tighter entry box and draws trade lines only when this confirmation occurs.
3. Trade Management
Risk:Reward: Set your desired RR (e.g., 2.0).
SL Padding: Add breathing room (ticks) to your Stop Loss.
SL Source: Choose between a safer Stop Loss (based on the HTF zone) or a tighter Stop Loss (based on the LTF confirmation candle).
4. Volume Stats
Labels display the volume involved in the zone's creation. As price taps the zone, the volume is "depleted" from the label, giving you insight into the remaining order flow absorption.
🎨 Visual Customization
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Buyers (Green) and Sellers (Red) zones across all three strength tiers.
Labels: Toggle technical names, touch counts, and timeframe labels.
Lines: Option to show "Aggressive Open Lines" to mark the exact opening price of the flip zone extended forward.

This tool is for educational purposes and chart analysis assistance only. Past performance of a setup (A+++/King Slayer) does not guarantee future results. Always manage risk and use this in conjunction with your own trading strategy.
Bubble Risk ModelThe question of whether markets can be objectively assessed for overextension has occupied financial researchers for decades. Charles Kindleberger, in his seminal work "Manias, Panics, and Crashes" (1978), documented that speculative bubbles follow remarkably consistent patterns across centuries and asset classes. Yet identifying these patterns in real time remains notoriously difficult. The Bubble Risk Model attempts to address this challenge not by predicting crashes, but by systematically measuring the statistical characteristics that historically precede fragile market conditions.
The theoretical foundation draws from two distinct research traditions. The first is the work on regime-switching models pioneered by James Hamilton (1989), who demonstrated that economic time series often exhibit discrete shifts between different behavioral states. The second is the literature on tail risk and market fragility, most notably articulated by Nassim Taleb in "The Black Swan" (2007), which emphasizes that extreme events carry disproportionate importance and that traditional risk measures systematically underestimate their probability.
Rather than attempting to build a probabilistic model requiring assumptions about underlying distributions, the Bubble Risk Model operates as a deterministic state-inference system. This distinction matters. Lawrence Rabiner's foundational tutorial on Hidden Markov Models (1989) established the mathematical framework for inferring hidden states from observable data through Bayesian updating. The present model borrows the conceptual architecture of states and transitions but replaces probabilistic inference with rule-based logic. States are not computed through forward-backward algorithms but inferred through deterministic thresholds. This trade-off sacrifices theoretical elegance for practical robustness and interpretability.
The measurement framework rests on four empirically grounded components. The first captures trailing twelve-month returns, reflecting the well-documented momentum effect identified by Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), who found that securities with strong past performance tend to continue outperforming over intermediate horizons. The second component measures trend persistence as the proportion of positive daily returns over a quarterly window, drawing on the research by Campbell and Shiller (1988) showing that price trends exhibit serial correlation that deviates from random walk assumptions. The third normalizes the distance between current prices and their long-term moving average by volatility, addressing the cross-sectional comparability problem noted by Fama and French (1992) when analyzing assets with different variance characteristics. The fourth component calculates return efficiency as the ratio of returns to realized volatility, a concept related to the Sharpe ratio but stripped of distributional assumptions that often fail in practice.
The aggregation methodology deliberately prioritizes worst-case scenarios. Rather than averaging component scores, the model uses quantile-based aggregation with an explicit tail penalty. This design choice reflects the asymmetric error costs in bubble detection: failing to identify fragility carries greater consequences than occasional false positives. The approach aligns with the precautionary principle advocated by Taleb and colleagues in their work on fragility and antifragility (2012), which argues that systems exposed to tail risks require conservative assessment frameworks.
Normalization presents a particular challenge. Raw metrics like year-over-year returns are not directly comparable across asset classes with different volatility profiles. The model addresses this through percentile ranking over multiple historical windows, typically two and five years. This dual-window approach provides regime stability, preventing the normalization from adapting too quickly during extended bull markets where elevated readings become statistically normal. The methodology draws on the concept of lookback bias documented by Lo and MacKinlay (1990), who demonstrated that single-window statistical measures can produce misleading results when market regimes shift.
The state machine introduces controlled inertia into the system. Once the model enters a particular state, transitions become progressively more difficult as the state matures. This transition resistance mechanism prevents rapid oscillation near threshold boundaries, a problem that plagues many indicator-based systems. The concept parallels the hysteresis effects described in economic literature by Dixit (1989), where systems exhibit path dependence and resist returning to previous states even when underlying conditions change.
Volatility regime detection adds contextual interpretation. Research by Engle (1982) on autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity established that volatility clusters, with periods of high volatility tending to follow other high-volatility periods. The model scales its maturity thresholds inversely with volatility: in calm markets, states mature slowly and persist longer; in turbulent markets, information decays faster and states become more transient. This adaptive behavior reflects the empirical observation that low-volatility environments often precede significant market dislocations, as documented by Brunnermeier and Pedersen (2009) in their work on liquidity spirals.
The confidence metric addresses internal model consistency. When individual components diverge substantially, the overall score becomes less reliable regardless of its absolute level. This approach draws on ensemble methods in machine learning, where disagreement among predictors signals increased uncertainty. Dietterich (2000) provides theoretical justification for this principle, demonstrating that ensemble disagreement correlates with prediction error.
Distribution drift detection monitors whether the model's calibration remains valid. By comparing recent score distributions to longer historical baselines, the model can identify when market structure has shifted sufficiently to potentially invalidate its historical percentile rankings. This self-diagnostic capability reflects the concern raised by Andrews (1993) about parameter instability in time series models, where structural breaks can render previously estimated relationships unreliable.
The cross-asset analysis extends the framework beyond individual securities. By calculating scores for multiple asset classes simultaneously and measuring their correlation, the model distinguishes between idiosyncratic overextension affecting a single asset and systemic conditions affecting markets broadly. This differentiation matters for portfolio construction, as documented by Longin and Solnik (2001), who found that correlations between international equity markets increase significantly during periods of market stress.
Several limitations deserve explicit acknowledgment. The model cannot identify timing. Overextended conditions can persist far longer than rational analysis might suggest, a phenomenon documented by Shiller (2000) in his analysis of speculative episodes. The model provides no mechanism for determining when fragile conditions will resolve. Additionally, the cross-asset analysis lacks lead-lag detection, meaning it cannot distinguish whether assets became overextended simultaneously or sequentially. Finally, the rule-based nature of state inference means the model cannot express graduated probability assessments; states are discrete rather than continuous.
The philosophical stance underlying the model is one of epistemic humility. It does not claim to identify bubbles definitively or predict their collapse. Instead, it provides a systematic framework for measuring characteristics that have historically been associated with fragile market conditions. The distinction between information and action remains the user's responsibility. States describe current conditions; how to respond to those conditions requires judgment that no quantitative model can provide.
Practical guide for traders
This section translates the model's outputs into actionable intelligence for both retail traders managing personal portfolios and professional traders operating within institutional frameworks. The interpretation differs not in kind but in scale and consequence.
Understanding the score
The primary output is a continuous score ranging from zero to one. Lower scores indicate elevated bubble risk; higher scores suggest more sustainable market conditions. This inverse relationship may seem counterintuitive but reflects the model's construction: it measures how extreme current conditions are relative to historical norms, with extremity mapping to fragility.
A score above 0.50 generally indicates normal market conditions where standard investment approaches remain appropriate. Scores between 0.30 and 0.50 represent an elevated zone where caution is warranted but not alarm. Scores below 0.30 enter the extreme territory where historical precedent suggests increased fragility. These thresholds are not magical boundaries but represent statistical rarity: a score below 0.30 indicates conditions that occur in roughly the bottom quintile of historical observations.
For retail traders, a score in the normal range means continuing with established strategies without modification. In the elevated range, this might mean pausing new position additions while maintaining existing holdings. In the extreme range, retail traders should consider whether their portfolio could withstand a significant drawdown and whether their time horizon permits waiting for recovery. For professional traders, the score integrates into broader risk frameworks: normal conditions permit full risk budgets, elevated conditions might trigger reduced position sizing or tighter stop losses, and extreme conditions could warrant defensive positioning or increased hedging activity.
Reading the states
The model classifies conditions into three discrete states: Normal, Elevated, and Extreme. These states differ from the continuous score by incorporating persistence and transition resistance. A market can have a score temporarily dipping below 0.30 without triggering an Extreme state if the condition proves transient.
The Normal state indicates business as usual. Market conditions fall within historical norms across all measured dimensions. For retail traders, this means standard portfolio management applies. For professional traders, full strategy deployment remains appropriate with normal risk parameters.
The Elevated state signals heightened attention. At least one dimension of market behavior has moved outside normal ranges, though not to extreme levels. Retail traders should review portfolio concentration and ensure diversification remains intact. Professional traders might reduce leverage slightly, tighten risk limits, or increase monitoring frequency.
The Extreme state represents statistically rare conditions. Multiple dimensions show readings that historically occur infrequently. Retail traders should seriously evaluate whether they can tolerate potential drawdowns and consider reducing exposure to volatile assets. Professional traders should implement defensive protocols, potentially reducing gross exposure, increasing cash allocations, or adding protective positions.
Interpreting transitions
State transitions carry more information than states themselves. The model tracks whether conditions are entering, persisting in, or exiting particular states.
An Entry into Extreme represents the most important signal. It indicates a regime shift from normal or elevated conditions into territory associated with historical fragility. For retail traders, this warrants immediate portfolio review. For professional traders, this typically triggers predefined defensive protocols.
Persistence in a state indicates stability. Whether Normal or Extreme, persistence suggests the current regime has become established. For retail traders, persistence in Extreme over extended periods actually reduces immediate concern; the dangerous moment was the entry, not the continuation. For professional traders, persistent Extreme states require maintained vigilance but do not necessarily demand additional action beyond what the initial entry triggered.
An Exit from Extreme suggests improving conditions. For retail traders, this might warrant cautious return to normal positioning over time. For professional traders, exits permit gradual normalization of risk budgets, though institutional memory typically counsels slower reentry than the mathematical signal might suggest.
Duration and its meaning
The model distinguishes between Tactical, Accelerating, and Structural durations in critical zones.
Tactical duration (10-39 bars in critical territory) represents short-term overextension. Many Tactical episodes resolve without significant market disruption. Retail traders should note the condition but need not take dramatic action. Professional traders might implement modest hedges or reduce marginal positions.
Accelerating indicates Tactical duration combined with actively deteriorating scores. This combination historically precedes more significant corrections. Retail traders should consider lightening positions in their most volatile holdings. Professional traders typically implement more substantial hedges.
Structural duration (40+ bars in critical territory) indicates persistent overextension that has become a market feature rather than a temporary condition. Paradoxically, Structural conditions are both more concerning and less immediately actionable than Accelerating conditions. The market has demonstrated ability to sustain extreme readings. Retail traders should maintain heightened awareness but recognize that timing remains impossible. Professional traders often find Structural conditions require strategy adaptation rather than simple defensive positioning.
Confidence and what it tells you
The Confidence reading indicates internal model consistency. High confidence means all four underlying components agree in their assessment. Low confidence means components diverge significantly.
High confidence combined with Extreme state represents the clearest signal. The model is both indicating fragility and agreeing with itself about that assessment. Retail and professional traders alike should treat this combination with maximum seriousness.
Low confidence in any state reduces signal reliability. For retail traders, low confidence suggests waiting for clearer conditions before making significant portfolio changes. For professional traders, low confidence warrants increased skepticism about the score and potentially reduced position sizing in either direction.
Alignment and model health
The Alignment indicator monitors whether the model's calibration remains valid relative to recent market behavior.
Good alignment means recent score distributions match longer-term historical patterns. The model's percentile rankings remain meaningful. Both retail and professional traders can interpret scores at face value.
Degraded alignment indicates that recent market behavior has shifted somewhat from historical norms. Scores remain interpretable but with reduced precision. Retail traders should apply wider uncertainty bands to their interpretation. Professional traders might reduce position sizing slightly or require additional confirmation before acting.
Poor alignment signals significant distribution shift. The model may be comparing current conditions to an increasingly irrelevant historical baseline. Retail traders should rely more heavily on other information sources during Poor alignment periods. Professional traders typically reduce model weight in their decision frameworks until alignment recovers.
Volatility regime context
The volatility regime provides essential context for score interpretation.
Low volatility combined with Extreme state creates maximum concern. Research consistently shows that low-volatility environments can precede significant market dislocations. The market's apparent calm masks underlying fragility. Retail traders should recognize that low volatility does not mean low risk; it often means compressed risk premiums that will eventually normalize, potentially violently. Professional traders typically maintain or increase defensive positioning despite the market's calm appearance.
High volatility combined with Extreme state is actually less immediately concerning than low volatility. The market has already acknowledged stress; risk premiums have expanded; potential sellers may have already sold. Retail traders should resist the urge to panic sell during high-volatility extremes, as much of the adjustment may have already occurred. Professional traders recognize that high-volatility extremes often represent better entry points than low-volatility extremes.
Normal volatility requires no regime adjustment to interpretation. Scores mean what they appear to mean.
Cross-asset analysis
When enabled, the model calculates scores for multiple asset classes simultaneously, enabling systemic versus idiosyncratic risk assessment.
Systemic risk (multiple assets in Extreme with high correlation) indicates market-wide fragility. Diversification benefits are reduced precisely when most needed. Retail traders should recognize that their portfolio's apparent diversification may not protect them during systemic events. Professional traders implement cross-asset hedges and consider tail-risk protection.
Broad risk (multiple assets in Extreme with low correlation) suggests widespread but potentially unrelated overextension. Diversification may still provide some protection. Retail traders can take modest comfort in genuine diversification. Professional traders analyze which assets might offer relative value.
Isolated risk (single asset in Extreme while others remain Normal) indicates asset-specific rather than market-wide conditions. Retail traders holding the affected asset should evaluate their position specifically. Professional traders may find relative value opportunities going long unaffected assets against the extended one.
Scattered risk represents a few assets showing elevation without clear pattern. This typically warrants monitoring rather than action for both retail and professional traders.
Parameter guidance
The Short Percentile parameter (default 504 bars, approximately two years) controls the shorter normalization window. Increasing this value makes the model more conservative, requiring more extreme readings to flag concern. Retail traders should generally leave this at default. Professional traders might increase it for assets with shorter reliable history.
The Long Percentile parameter (default 1260 bars, approximately five years) controls the longer normalization window. This provides regime stability. Again, default settings suit most applications.
The Critical Threshold (default 0.30) determines where the Extreme state boundary lies. Lowering this value makes the model less sensitive, flagging fewer Extreme conditions. Raising it increases sensitivity. Retail traders seeking fewer false alarms might lower this to 0.25. Professional traders seeking earlier warning might raise it to 0.35.
The Structural Duration parameter (default 40 bars) determines when Tactical conditions become Structural. Shorter values provide earlier Structural classification. Longer values require more persistence before reclassification.
The State Maturity and Transition Resistance parameters control how readily the model changes states. Higher values create more stable states with fewer transitions. Lower values create more responsive but potentially noisier state changes. Default settings balance responsiveness against stability.
The Adaptive Smoothing parameters control how the model filters noise. In extreme zones, longer smoothing periods reduce whipsaws but increase lag. In normal zones, shorter periods maintain responsiveness. Most traders should leave these at defaults.
What the model cannot do
The model cannot predict when overextended conditions will resolve. Markets can remain irrational longer than any trader can remain solvent, as the saying goes. Extended Extreme readings may persist for months or even years before any correction materializes.
The model cannot distinguish between healthy bull markets and dangerous bubbles in their early stages. Both initially appear as strong returns and positive momentum. The model begins flagging concern only when statistical extremity develops, which may occur well into an advance.
The model cannot account for fundamental changes in market structure. If a new paradigm genuinely justifies higher valuations (rare but not impossible), the model will continue flagging extremity against historical norms that may no longer apply. The Alignment indicator provides partial protection against this failure mode but cannot eliminate it.
The model cannot replace judgment. It provides systematic measurement of conditions that have historically preceded fragility. Whether and how to act on that measurement remains entirely the trader's responsibility. Retail traders must still evaluate their personal circumstances, time horizons, and risk tolerance. Professional traders must still integrate model output with fundamental analysis, portfolio constraints, and client mandates.

EvansThis is a simple math problem:
If your risk-reward ratio is 1:3.
Even if you lose 3 out of 4 trades (a win rate of only 25%), as long as you hit one big win, you'll still break even.
That extra bit of win rate is your pure profit.

Big Candle Identifier with RSI Divergence and Advanced Stops1. Strategy Objective
The main goal of this strategy is to:
Identify significant price momentum (big candles).
Enter trades at opportune moments based on market signals (candlestick patterns and RSI divergence).
Limit initial risk through a fixed stop loss.
Maximize profits by using a trailing stop that activates only after the trade moves a specified distance in the profitable direction.
2. Components of the Strategy
A. Big Candle Identification
The strategy identifies big candles as indicators of strong momentum.
A big candle is defined as:
The body (absolute difference between close and open) of the current candle (body0) is larger than the bodies of the last five candles.
The candle is:
Bullish Big Candle: If close > open.
Bearish Big Candle: If open > close.
Purpose: Big candles signal potential continuation or reversal of trends, serving as the primary entry trigger.
B. RSI Divergence
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator used to detect overbought/oversold conditions and divergence.
Fast RSI: A 5-period RSI, which is more sensitive to short-term price movements.
Slow RSI: A 14-period RSI, which smoothens fluctuations over a longer timeframe.
Divergence: The difference between the fast and slow RSIs.
Positive divergence (divergence > 0): Bullish momentum.
Negative divergence (divergence < 0): Bearish momentum.
Visualization: The divergence is plotted on the chart, helping traders confirm momentum shifts.
C. Stop Loss
Initial Stop Loss:
When entering a trade, an immediate stop loss of 200 points is applied.
This stop loss ensures the maximum risk is capped at a predefined level.
Implementation:
Long Trades: Stop loss is set below the entry price at low - 200 points.
Short Trades: Stop loss is set above the entry price at high + 200 points.
Purpose:
Prevents significant losses if the price moves against the trade immediately after entry.
D. Trailing Stop
The trailing stop is a dynamic risk management tool that adjusts with price movements to lock in profits. Here’s how it works:
Activation Condition:
The trailing stop only starts trailing when the trade moves 200 ticks (profit) in the right direction:
Long Position: close - entry_price >= 200 ticks.
Short Position: entry_price - close >= 200 ticks.
Trailing Logic:
Once activated, the trailing stop:
For Long Positions: Trails behind the price by 150 ticks (trail_stop = close - 150 ticks).
For Short Positions: Trails above the price by 150 ticks (trail_stop = close + 150 ticks).
Exit Condition:
The trade exits automatically if the price touches the trailing stop level.
Purpose:
Ensures profits are locked in as the trade progresses while still allowing room for price fluctuations.
E. Trade Entry Logic
Long Entry:
Triggered when a bullish big candle is identified.
Stop loss is set at low - 200 points.
Short Entry:
Triggered when a bearish big candle is identified.
Stop loss is set at high + 200 points.
F. Trade Exit Logic
Trailing Stop: Automatically exits the trade if the price touches the trailing stop level.
Fixed Stop Loss: Exits the trade if the price hits the predefined stop loss level.
G. 21 EMA
The strategy includes a 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as a trend filter.
EMA helps visualize the overall market direction:
Price above EMA: Indicates an uptrend.
Price below EMA: Indicates a downtrend.
H. Visualization
Big Candle Identification:
The open and close prices of big candles are plotted for easy reference.
Trailing Stop:
Plotted on the chart to visualize its progression during the trade.
Green Line: Indicates the trailing stop for long positions.
Red Line: Indicates the trailing stop for short positions.
RSI Divergence:
Positive divergence is shown in green.
Negative divergence is shown in red.
3. Key Parameters
trail_start_ticks: The number of ticks required before the trailing stop activates (default: 200 ticks).
trail_distance_ticks: The distance between the trailing stop and price once the trailing stop starts (default: 150 ticks).
initial_stop_loss_points: The fixed stop loss in points applied at entry (default: 200 points).
tick_size: Automatically calculates the minimum tick size for the trading instrument.
4. Workflow of the Strategy
Step 1: Entry Signal
The strategy identifies a big candle (bullish or bearish).
If conditions are met, a trade is entered with a fixed stop loss.
Step 2: Initial Risk Management
The trade starts with an initial stop loss of 200 points.
Step 3: Trailing Stop Activation
If the trade moves 200 ticks in the profitable direction:
The trailing stop is activated and follows the price at a distance of 150 ticks.
Step 4: Exit the Trade
The trade is exited if:
The price hits the trailing stop.
The price hits the initial stop loss.
5. Advantages of the Strategy
Risk Management:
The fixed stop loss ensures that losses are capped.
The trailing stop locks in profits after the trade becomes profitable.
Momentum-Based Entries:
The strategy uses big candles as entry triggers, which often indicate strong price momentum.
Divergence Confirmation:
RSI divergence helps validate momentum and avoid false signals.
Dynamic Profit Protection:
The trailing stop adjusts dynamically, allowing the trade to capture larger moves while protecting gains.
6. Ideal Market Conditions
This strategy performs best in:
Trending Markets:
Big candles and momentum signals are more effective in capturing directional moves.
High Volatility:
Larger price swings improve the probability of reaching the trailing stop activation level (200 ticks).

1. Understanding the Indicator's Context
The indicator generates signals based on confluence (trend, volume, key zones, etc.), but it does not include predefined SL or TP levels. To establish them, we must:
Use dynamic or static support/resistance levels already present in the script.
Incorporate volatility (such as ATR) to adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Define a risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
2. Options for Determining SL and TP
Below, I provide several ideas based on the tools available in the script:
Stop Loss (SL)
The SL should protect you from adverse movements. You can base it on:
ATR (Volatility): Use the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) multiplied by a factor (e.g., 1.5 or 2) to set a dynamic SL.
Buy: SL = Entry Price - (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Sell: SL = Entry Price + (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Key Zones: Place the SL below a support (for buys) or above a resistance (for sells), using Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, or Liquidity Zones.
Buy: SL below the nearest ob_lows or fvg_lows.
Sell: SL above the nearest ob_highs or fvg_highs.
VWAP: Use the daily VWAP (vwap_day) as a critical level.
Buy: SL below vwap_day.
Sell: SL above vwap_day.
Take Profit (TP)
The TP should maximize profits. You can base it on:
Risk/Reward Ratio: Multiply the SL distance by a factor (e.g., 2 or 3).
Buy: TP = Entry Price + (SL Distance * 2).
Sell: TP = Entry Price - (SL Distance * 2).
Key Zones: Target the next resistance (for buys) or support (for sells).
Buy: TP at the next ob_highs, fvg_highs, or liq_zone_high.
Sell: TP at the next ob_lows, fvg_lows, or liq_zone_low.
Ichimoku: Use the cloud levels (Senkou Span A/B) as targets.
Buy: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is higher).
Sell: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is lower).
3. Practical Implementation
Since the script does not automatically draw SL/TP, you can:
Calculate them manually: Observe the chart and use the levels mentioned.
Modify the code: Add SL/TP as labels (label.new) at the moment of the signal.
Here’s an example of how to modify the code to display SL and TP based on ATR with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio:
Modified Code (Signals Section)
Find the lines where the signals (trade_buy and trade_sell) are generated and add the following:
pinescript
// Calculate SL and TP based on ATR
atr_sl_mult = 1.5 // Multiplier for SL
atr_tp_mult = 3.0 // Multiplier for TP (1:2 ratio)
sl_distance = atr_smooth * atr_sl_mult
tp_distance = atr_smooth * atr_tp_mult
if trade_buy
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price - sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price + tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, low, "Buy: " + str.tostring(math.round(bull_conditions, 1)), color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
if trade_sell
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price + sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price - tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, high, "Sell: " + str.tostring(math.round(bear_conditions, 1)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
Code Explanation
SL: Calculated by subtracting/adding sl_distance to the entry price (close) depending on whether it’s a buy or sell.
TP: Calculated with a double distance (tp_distance) for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Visualization: Labels are added to the chart to display SL (red) and TP (blue).
4. Practical Strategy Without Modifying the Code
If you don’t want to modify the script, follow these steps manually:
Entry: Take the trade_buy or trade_sell signal.
SL: Check the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) on the chart or calculate a fixed level (e.g., 1.5 times the ATR). Also, review nearby key zones (OB, FVG, VWAP).
TP: Define a target based on the next key zone or multiply the SL distance by 2 or 3.
Example:
Buy at 100, ATR = 2.
SL = 100 - (2 * 1.5) = 97.
TP = 100 + (2 * 3) = 106.
5. Recommendations
Test in Demo: Apply this logic in a demo account to adjust the multipliers (atr_sl_mult, atr_tp_mult) based on the market (forex or crypto).
Combine with Zones: If the ATR-based SL is too wide, use the nearest OB or FVG as a reference.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Adjust the TP based on your tolerance (1:1, 1:2, 1:3)

Position size based on risk amount and price difference between entry and stop-loss
Leverage requirements and position amount calculations
Fee-adjusted risk-reward ratios for realistic profit expectations
Break-even price including all trading costs
Individual profit calculations for partial position closures
Detailed Take-Profit Calculation Formula:
The take-profit prices are calculated using the following mathematical formula:
// Core variables:
// risk_amount = account_size * (risk_percentage / 100)
// total_risk_per_share = |entry_price - sl_price| + (entry_price * fee%) + (sl_price * fee%)
// shares = risk_amount / total_risk_per_share
// direction_factor = 1 for long positions, -1 for short positions
// Take-profit calculation:
net_win = total_risk_per_share * shares * RR_ratio
tp_price = (net_win + (direction_factor * entry_price * shares) + (entry_price * fee% * shares)) / (direction_factor * shares - fee% * shares)
Step-by-step example for a long position (based on screenshot):
Account Size: 2,000 USDT, Risk: 2% = 40 USDT
Entry: 102,062.9 USDT, Stop Loss: 102,178.4 USDT, Fee: 0.06%
Risk per share: |102,062.9 - 102,178.4| + (102,062.9 × 0.0006) + (102,178.4 × 0.0006) = 115.5 + 61.24 + 61.31 = 238.05 USDT
Shares: 40 ÷ 238.05 = 0.168 shares (rounded to 0.17 in display)
Position Size: 0.17 × 102,062.9 = 17,350.69 USDT
Position Amount (with 9x leverage): 17,350.69 ÷ 9 = 1,927.85 USDT
For 2:1 RR: Net win = 238.05 × 0.17 × 2 = 80.94 USDT
TP1 price = (80.94 + (1 × 102,062.9 × 0.17) + (102,062.9 × 0.0006 × 0.17)) ÷ (1 × 0.17 - 0.0006 × 0.17) = 101,464.7 USDT
For 3:1 RR: TP2 price = 101,226.7 USDT (following same formula with RR=3)
This ensures that after accounting for all fees, the actual risk-reward ratio matches the specified target ratio.
Risk Management Features
Maximum Trade Amount: Optional setting to limit position size regardless of account size
Leverage Limits: Built-in maximum leverage protection
Fee Integration: All calculations include realistic trading fees for accurate expectations
Validation: Automatic checking that take-profit portions sum to 100%
Historical Tracking: Visual indication when stop-loss or take-profit levels are reached (within last 5000 bars)
Understanding Max Trade Amount - Multiple Simultaneous Trades:
The "Max Trade Amount" feature is designed for traders who want to open multiple positions simultaneously while maintaining proper risk management. Here's how it works:
Key Concept:
- Risk percentage (2%) always applies to your full Account Size
- Max Trade Amount limits the capital allocated per individual trade
- This allows multiple trades with full risk on each trade
Example from Screenshot:
Account Size: 2,000 USDT
Max Trade Amount: 500 USDT
Risk per Trade: 2% × 2,000 = 40 USDT per trade
Stop Loss Distance: 0.11% from entry
Result: Position Size = 17,350.69 USDT with 35x leverage
Total Risk (including fees): 40.46 USDT
Multiple Trades Strategy:
With this setup, you can open:
Trade 1: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 2: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 3: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 4: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Total Portfolio Exposure:
- 4 simultaneous trades = 4 × 495.73 = 1,982.92 USDT position amount
- Total risk exposure = 4 × 40 = 160 USDT (8% of account)

Liquidity Retest Strategy (Apicode) - TP/SL Lines FixedTechnical Documentation:
1. Purpose and underlying concept
This strategy targets a common behavior in liquid markets: liquidity sweeps around meaningful support/resistance levels, followed by a retest and rejection (reversal) with confirmation.
The core thesis is that many initial “breaks” are not continuation moves, but rather stop-runs and order harvesting. After the sweep, price reclaims the level and closes back on the opposite side, offering a structured entry with defined risk.
The strategy includes:
Support/Resistance detection via pivots
Dynamic selection of the “working” level using an ATR-based proximity window
Rejection validation via candle structure (wick + close)
Optional filters: volume, VWAP-like bias, and EMA trend
Risk management with static TP/SL (ATR-based or %), plus trailing stop (ATR-based or %), with per-trade lines plotted
2. Main components
2.1. Volatility metric: ATR
atr = ta.atr(atrLength) is used in two essential places:
Level selection (proximity to S/R): prevents trading levels that are too far from current price.
Sweep validation (minimum wick size): requires the wick to extend beyond the level by a volatility-relative amount.
Optionally, ATR can also be used for:
Static TP/SL (when usePercent = false)
Trailing stop (when useTrailPercent = false)
2.2. Building S/R levels with pivots
Pivots are detected using:
pivotHigh = ta.pivothigh(pivotLookback, rightBars)
pivotLow = ta.pivotlow(pivotLookback, rightBars)
Each confirmed pivot is stored in arrays:
resistanceLevels for resistance
supportLevels for support
The array size is capped by maxLevels, which reduces noise and manages chart resource usage (lines).
2.3. Selecting the “best” level each bar
On each bar, a single support S and/or resistance R candidate is chosen:
Support: nearest level below price (L < price)
Resistance: nearest level above price (L > price)
Only levels within atr * maxDistATR are considered
This produces dynamic “working levels” that adapt to price location and volatility.
2.4. Rejection pattern (retest + sweep)
After selecting the working level:
Support rejection (long setup)
Conditions:
Low touches/crosses support: low <= S
Close reclaims above: close > S
Bullish candle: close > open
Sufficient wick below the level (liquidity sweep): (S - low) >= atr * minWickATR
This aims to capture a stop sweep below support followed by immediate recovery.
Resistance rejection (short setup)
Symmetric conditions:
High touches/crosses resistance: high >= R
Close rejects back below: close < R
Bearish candle: close < open
Sufficient wick above the level: (high - R) >= atr * minWickATR
2.5. Optional filters
Final signals are the rejection pattern AND enabled filters:
1.- Volume filter
High volume is defined as: volume > SMA(volume, 20) * volMult
When useVolFilter = true, setups require relatively elevated participation
2.- VWAP-like bias filter
A VWAP-like series is computed over vwapLength (typical price weighted by volume)
When useVWAPFilter = true:
- Longs only if close > vwap
- Shorts only if close < vwap
3.- EMA trend filter
Uptrend if EMA(fast) > EMA(slow)
When useTrendFilter = true:
- Longs only in uptrend
- Shorts only in downtrend
2.6. Backtest time window (time filter)
To keep testing focused and reduce long-history noise:
useMaxLookbackDays enables the filter
maxLookbackDays defines how many days back from timenow entries are allowed
Entries are permitted only when time >= startTime.
3. Entry rules and position control
3.1. Entries
strategy.entry('Long', strategy.long) when longSetup and no long position is open
strategy.entry('Short', strategy.short) when shortSetup and no short position is open
No pyramiding is allowed (pyramiding = 0). Position gating is handled by:
Long allowed if strategy.position_size <= 0
Short allowed if strategy.position_size >= 0
4. Risk management: TP/SL and trailing (with plotted lines)
4.1. Detecting entry/exit events
Events are identified via changes in strategy.position_size:
LongEntry: transition into a long
shortEntry: transition into a short
flatExit: transition back to flat
This drives per-trade line creation, updates, and cleanup of state variables.
4.2. Static TP/SL
On entry, entryPrice := strategy.position_avg_price is stored.
Percent mode (usePercent = true)
Long:
staticSL = entryPrice*(1 - slPerc/100)
staticTP = entryPrice*(1 + tpPerc/100)
Short:
staticSL = entryPrice*(1 + slPerc/100)
staticTP = entryPrice*(1 - tpPerc/100)
ATR mode (usePercent = false)
Long:
staticSL = entryPrice - atrAtEntry*slATR
staticTP = entryPrice + atrAtEntry*tpATR
Short:
staticSL = entryPrice + atrAtEntry*slATR
staticTP = entryPrice - atrAtEntry*tpATR
4.3. Trailing stop (custom)
While a position is open, the script tracks the most favorable excursion:
Long: hhSinceEntry = highest high since entry
Short: llSinceEntry = lowest low since entry
A trailing candidate is computed:
Percent trailing (useTrailPercent = true)
Long: trailCandidate = hhSinceEntry*(1 - trailPerc/100)
Short: trailCandidate = llSinceEntry*(1 + trailPerc/100)
ATR trailing (useTrailPercent = false)
Long: trailCandidate = hhSinceEntry - atr*trailATR
Short: trailCandidate = llSinceEntry + atr*trailATR
Then the effective stop is selected:
Long: slUsed = max(staticSL, trailCandidate) when useTrail is enabled
Short: slUsed = min(staticSL, trailCandidate) when useTrail is enabled
If useTrail is disabled, slUsed remains the static stop.
Take profit remains static:
tpUsed = staticTP
Exit orders are issued via:
strategy.exit(..., stop=slUsed, limit=tpUsed)
4.4. Per-trade TP/SL lines
On each entry, two lines are created (SL and TP) via f_createLines().
During the trade, the SL line updates when trailing moves the stop; TP remains fixed.
On exit (flatExit), both lines are finalized on the exit bar and left on the chart as historical references.
This makes it straightforward to visually audit each trade: entry context, intended TP, and trailing evolution until exit.
5. Visualization and debugging
BUY/SELL labels with configurable size (xsize)
Debug mode (showDebug) plots the chosen working support/resistance level each bar
Stored pivot levels are drawn using reusable line slots, projected a fixed 20 bars to the right to keep the chart readable and efficient
6. Parameter guidance and practical notes
pivotLookback / rightBars: controls pivot significance vs responsiveness. Lower rightBars confirms pivots earlier but can increase noise.
maxDistATR: too low may reject valid levels; too high may select distant, less relevant levels.
minWickATR: key quality gate for “real” sweeps. Higher values reduce frequency but often improve signal quality.
Filters:
Volume filter tends to help in ranges and active sessions.
VWAP bias is useful intraday to align trades with session positioning.
EMA trend filter is helpful in directional markets but may remove good mean-reversion setups.
Percent TP/SL: provides consistent behavior across assets with variable volatility, but is less adaptive to sudden regime shifts.
Percent trailing: can capture extensions well; calibrate trailPerc per asset/timeframe (too tight = premature exits).
7. Known limitations
Pivot-derived levels are a heuristic; in strong trends, valid retests may be limited.
The time filter uses timenow; behavior may vary depending on historical context and how the platform evaluates “current time.”
TP/SL and trailing are computed from bar OHLC; in live trading, intrabar sequencing and fills may differ from bar-close simulation.
BackTestLibLibrary "BackTestLib"
Allows backtesting indicator performance. Tracks typical metrics such as won/loss, profit factor, draw down, etc. Trading View strategy library provides similar (and more comprehensive)
functionality but only works with strategies. This libary was created to address performance tracking within indicators.
Two primary outputs are generated:
1. Summary Table: Displays overall performance metrics for the indicator over the chart's loaded timeframe and history
2. Details Table: Displays a table of individual trade entries and exits. This table can grow larger than the available chart space. It does have a max number of rows supported. I haven't
found a way to add scroll bars or scroll bar equivalents yet.
