Daily ATR%If You are using a percentage of the Daily Average True Range in determining your stop placement,
this quick indicator is for You.
excerpt from investopedia.com/articles/trading/06/stopplacement.asp
ATR % Stop Method
The ATR% stop method can be used by any type of trader because the width of the stop is determined by the percentage of average true range (ATR). ATR is a measure of volatility over a specified period of time. The most common length is 14, which is also a common length for oscillators such as the relative strength index (RSI) and stochastics. A higher ATR indicates a more volatile market, while a lower ATR indicates a less volatile market. By using a certain percentage of ATR, you ensure that your stop is dynamic and changes appropriately with market conditions.
For example, for the first four months of 2006, the GBP/USD average daily range was around 110 to 140 pips. A day trader may want to use a 10% ATR stop - meaning that the stop is placed 10% x ATR pips from the entry price.In this instance, the stop would be anywhere from 11 to 14 pips from your entry price. A swing trader might use 50% or 100% of ATR as a stop. In May and June of 2006, daily ATR was anywhere from 150 to 180 pips. As such, the day trader with the 10% stop would have stops from entry of 15 to 18 pips while the swing trader with 50% stops would have stops of 75 to 90 pips from entry.

UCS_Squeeze_Timing-V1There is an important information the Squeeze indicator is missing, which is the Pre Squeeze entry. While the Bollinger band begins to curves out of the KC, The breakout usually happens. There are many instances that the Squeeze indicator will fire, after the Major move, I cant blame the indicator, thats the nature (lagging) of all indicators, and we have to live with it.
Therefore pre-squeeze-fire Entry can be critical in timing your entry. Timing it too early could result in stoploss if it turns against you, ( or serious burn on options premium), because we never know when the squeeze will fire with the TTM squeeze, But now We know. Its a little timing tool. Managing position is critical when playing options.
I will code the timing signal when I get some time.

DECODE Moving Average ToolkitDECODE Moving Average Toolkit: Your All-in-One MA Analysis Powerhouse!
This versatile indicator is designed to be your go-to solution for analysing trends, identifying potential entry/exit points, and staying ahead of market movements using the power of Moving Averages (MAs).
Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, the Decode MAT offers a comprehensive suite of features in a user-friendly package.
Key Features:
Multiple Moving Averages: Visualize up to 10 Moving Averages simultaneously on your chart.
Includes 5 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and 5 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs).
Easily toggle the visibility of each MA and customize its length to suit your trading style and the asset you're analyzing.
Dynamic MA Ribbons: Gain a clearer perspective on trend direction and strength with 5 configurable MA Ribbons.
Each ribbon is formed between a corresponding EMA and SMA (e.g., EMA 20 / SMA 20).
The ribbon color changes to indicate bullish (e.g., green) or bearish (e.g., red) sentiment, providing an intuitive visual cue.
Toggle ribbon visibility with a single click.
Powerful Crossover Alerts: Never miss a potential trading opportunity with up to 5 customizable MA Crossover Alerts.
Define your own fast and slow MAs for each alert from any of the 10 available MAs.
Receive notifications directly through TradingView when your specified MAs cross over or cross under.
Optionally display visual symbols (e.g., triangles ▲▼) directly on your chart at the exact crossover points for quick identification.
Highly Customizable:
Adjust the source price (close, open, etc.) for all MA calculations.
Fine-tune the appearance (colors, line thickness) of every MA line, ribbon, and alert symbol to match your charting preferences.
User-Friendly Interface: All settings are neatly organized in the indicator's input menu, making configuration straightforward and intuitive.
How Can You Use the Decode MAT in Your Trading?
This toolkit is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to various trading strategies:
Trend Identification:
Use longer-term MAs (e.g., 50, 100, 200 period) to identify the prevailing market trend. When prices are consistently above these MAs, it suggests an uptrend, and vice-versa.
Observe the MA ribbons: A consistently green ribbon can indicate a strong uptrend, while a red ribbon can signal a downtrend. The widening or narrowing of the ribbon can also suggest changes in trend momentum.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
Shorter-term MAs (e.g., 10, 20 period EMAs) can act as dynamic levels of support in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. Look for price pullbacks to these MAs as potential entry opportunities.
Crossover Signals (Entries & Exits):
Golden Cross / Death Cross: Configure alerts for classic crossover signals. For example, a 50-period MA crossing above a 200-period MA (Golden Cross) is often seen as a long-term bullish signal. Conversely, a 50-period MA crossing below a 200-period MA (Death Cross) can be a bearish signal.
Shorter-Term Signals: Use crossovers of shorter-term MAs (e.g., EMA 10 crossing EMA 20) for more frequent, shorter-term trading signals. A fast MA crossing above a slow MA can signal a buy, while a cross below can signal a sell.
Use the on-chart symbols for quick visual confirmation of these crossover events.
Confirmation Tool:
Combine the Decode MAT with other indicators (like RSI, MACD, or volume analysis) to confirm signals and increase the probability of successful trades. For instance, a bullish MA crossover combined with an oversold RSI reading could strengthen a buy signal.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Apply the toolkit across different timeframes to get a broader market perspective. A long-term uptrend on the daily chart, confirmed by a short-term bullish crossover on the 1-hour chart, can provide a higher-confidence entry.
The DECODE Moving Average Toolkit empowers you to tailor your MA analysis precisely to your needs.
CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.
---
📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.
Trend Indicator with ArrowsTrend Indicator with arrows is a NoBrainer indicator to see the trend clearly.
UpTrend is defined as a candle closing above previous high. I
DownTrend is defined as a candle closing below previous low
A consolidation is defined as a candle closing inside previous candle high low.
UpTrend - Indicated with a green arrow below the candle with the current indicator.
DownTrend - ndicated with a red arrow above the candle with the current indicator.
So How to use this Indicator?
Identify zones of consolidation where the indicator doesn't show any arrows. Upon shift from consolidation to UpTrend or DownTrend take a entry. This is one way.
Second and most useful way is wait for Support or resistant hit.
If it's a support. Upon support hit wait for Consolidation, DownTrend and then UpTrend/(Consolidation again with uptrend) for long entry.
If its a resistance. Upon resistance hit wait for Consolidation, Uptrend and then DownTrend/(Consolidation again with DownTrend) for short Entry.
Smart Money Pivot Strategy [Jason Kasei]This strategy is designed to identify key pivot points (Pivot High and Pivot Low) in the market and leverage the "Smart Money" concept to capture price breakout opportunities. It supports both long and short trades, offering customizable stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) settings, while visually plotting pivot points and breakout signals on the chart.
Core Features
Pivot Point Detection:
Utilizes ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to detect the highest (Pivot High) and lowest (Pivot Low) points within a specified period (default: 20 bars).
Trading Signals:
Long Signal: Triggered when the price breaks above a previous Pivot High, indicating a potential uptrend.
Short Signal: Triggered when the price breaks below a previous Pivot Low, indicating a potential downtrend.
How It Works
Detects Pivot High (PH) and Pivot Low (PL) over the specified period and records their price and time.
Triggers a long entry when the price breaks above a Pivot High and a short entry when it falls below a Pivot Low.
Sets exit conditions automatically based on predefined SL and TP percentages after entry.
Plots breakout points and levels on the chart for analysis.
Considerations
The strategy relies on accurate pivot point detection; adjust the period parameter based on market volatility.
In highly volatile markets, consider widening the stop loss to avoid frequent triggering.
Combine with other indicators or analysis methods to validate signals and avoid blind trading.
Long Term Profitable Swing | AbbasA Story of a Profitable Swing Trading Strategy
Imagine you're sailing across the ocean, looking for the perfect wave to ride. Swing trading is quite similar—you're navigating the stock market, searching for the ideal moments to enter and exit trades. This strategy, created by Abbas, helps you find those waves and ride them effectively to profitable outcomes.
🌊 Finding the Perfect Wave (Entry)
Our journey begins with two simple signs that tell us a great trading opportunity is forming:
- Moving Averages: We use two lines that follow price trends—the faster one (EMA 16) reacts quickly to recent price moves, and the slower one (EMA 30) gives us a longer-term perspective. When the faster line crosses above the slower line, it's like a clear signal saying, "Hey! The wave is rising, and prices might move higher!"
- RSI Momentum: Next, we check a tool called the RSI, which measures momentum (how strongly prices are moving). If the RSI number is above 50, it means there's enough strength behind this rising wave to carry us forward.
When both signals appear together, that's our green light. It's time to jump on our surfboard and start riding this promising wave.
⚓ Safely Riding the Wave (Risk Management)
While we're riding this wave, we want to ensure we're safe from sudden surprises. To do this, we use something called the Average True Range (ATR), which measures how volatile (or bumpy) the price movements are:
- Stop-Loss: To avoid falling too hard, we set a safety line (stop-loss) 8 times the ATR below our entry price. This helps ensure we exit if the wave suddenly turns against us, protecting us from heavy losses.
- Take Profit: We also set a goal to exit the trade at 11 times the ATR above our entry. This way, we capture significant profits when the wave reaches a nice high point.
🌟 Multiple Rides, Bigger Adventures
This strategy allows us to take multiple positions simultaneously—like riding several waves at once, up to 5. Each trade we make uses only 10% of our trading capital, keeping risks manageable and giving us multiple opportunities to win big.
🗺️ Easy to Follow Settings
Here are the basic settings we use:
- Fast EMA**: 16
- Slow EMA**: 30
- RSI Length**: 9
- RSI Threshold**: 50
- ATR Length**: 21
- ATR Stop-Loss Multiplier**: 8
- ATR Take-Profit Multiplier**: 11
These settings are flexible—you can adjust them to better suit different markets or your personal trading style.
🎉 Riding the Waves of Success
This simple yet powerful swing trading approach helps you confidently enter trades, clearly know when to exit, and effectively manage your risk. It’s a reliable way to ride market waves, capture profits, and minimize losses.
Happy trading, and may you find many profitable waves to ride! 🌊✨
Please test, and take into account that it depends on taking multiple longs within the swing, and you only get to invest 25/30% of your equity.
Fibonacci & Bollinger Bands StrategyTrading System: Fibonacci & Bollinger Bands Strategy
1. Session Timing
Trade only from 1 PM onwards.
Identify the first candle on the 1 PM vertical line to set the market direction.
If it's a bullish candle, look for buy opportunities.
If it's a bearish candle, look for sell opportunities.
2. Fibonacci Retracement as a Measuring Tool
Identify the recent swing high and swing low before the 1 PM session.
Draw Fibonacci retracement levels from low to high (for buys) or high to low (for sells).
Key retracement levels to watch: 0.0%, 50.0%, and 100.0%.
Entries can be placed at 0.0% or 50.0%, aiming for a move toward 100.0% retracement.
3. Bollinger Bands Confirmation
If the Bollinger Bands are above price, expect a downward move (sell).
If the Bollinger Bands are below price, expect an upward move (buy).
Use this as additional confirmation for your Fibonacci-based trade.
4. Entry & Exit Rules
Entry:
If the 1 PM candle confirms a bullish bias, enter long near Fibonacci 0.0% or 50.0%.
If the 1 PM candle confirms a bearish bias, enter short near Fibonacci 0.0% or 50.0%.
Stop Loss: Below (for buys) or above (for sells) the swing low/high used for Fibonacci.
Take Profit: Target 100.0% retracement level or next key resistance/support.
5. Risk Management
Risk 1-2% per trade.
Avoid trading if price is too far from Fibonacci levels.
Confirm setup with Bollinger Bands alignment.
Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT)Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) Indicator
The Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) is a powerful momentum and breakout detection tool designed to identify consecutive bullish and bearish closes, potential reversals, and breakout points. By tracking consecutive candle closes and plotting key levels, this indicator provides traders with visual cues to recognize trend continuations, reversals, and breakout opportunities effectively.
🔹 Key Features of CCT
1️⃣ Consecutive Move Lines (Green/Red/Yellow Lines)
Tracks three consecutive bullish or bearish closes.
If the fourth candle confirms the trend, a green line (bullish) or red line (bearish) is drawn.
If the fourth candle fails to confirm, a yellow line is drawn, signaling potential indecision.
Helps traders spot trend continuations and exhaustion points.
2️⃣ Reversal Detection Lines (Cyan & Light Red)
Identifies bullish and bearish reversals based on three higher/lower closes followed by a reversal.
A cyan line indicates a bullish reversal, while a light red line signals a bearish reversal.
Useful for traders looking for trend reversals and key turning points.
3️⃣ Breakout Line (Dynamic Resistance/Support Level)
Automatically calculates a breakout level based on the previous timeframe’s open and close.
Can be customized to use different timeframes (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
Acts as a dynamic resistance or support level, helping traders determine breakout opportunities.
🔍 How to Use the Indicator?
✅ 1. Spotting Trend Continuations with Consecutive Move Lines
Green Line: Three consecutive bullish closes followed by a fourth higher close.
🚀 Indicates strong buying pressure & potential uptrend continuation.
Red Line: Three consecutive bearish closes followed by a fourth lower close.
📉 Indicates strong selling pressure & potential downtrend continuation.
Yellow Line: Three consecutive closes, but the fourth candle fails to confirm.
⚠️ Signals possible indecision or trend exhaustion.
🔥 Best Strategy:
If a green line appears near support, consider long entries.
If a red line appears near resistance, consider short entries.
If a yellow line appears, wait for further confirmation before entering a trade.
✅ 2. Identifying Trend Reversals with Reversal Lines
Cyan Line: A bearish trend with three consecutive lower closes, followed by a bullish candle → Possible uptrend reversal.
Light Red Line: A bullish trend with three consecutive higher closes, followed by a bearish candle → Possible downtrend reversal.
🔥 Best Strategy:
If a cyan line appears near a major support level, look for long entry opportunities.
If a light red line appears near resistance, prepare for a potential short entry.
Use these lines in combination with candlestick patterns (e.g., bullish engulfing, pin bars) for confirmation.
✅ 3. Using the Breakout Line for Key Entry & Exit Points
The breakout line represents a key dynamic level (midpoint of the previous timeframe’s open & close).
If price breaks above the breakout line, it suggests bullish momentum → Consider long trades.
If price breaks below the breakout line, it suggests bearish momentum → Consider short trades.
🔥 Best Strategy:
Use the breakout line in combination with support & resistance levels.
When price approaches the breakout line, watch for confirmation candles before entering a trade.
The breakout line can also act as a stop-loss or take-profit level.
🎯 How to Utilize CCT Effectively?
✅ For Intraday Traders
Use the consecutive close tracker on a 5M or 15M chart to catch short-term trends.
Watch for reversal lines near major intraday support/resistance for quick scalping opportunities.
Use the breakout line from the hourly chart to identify potential trend shifts.
✅ For Swing Traders
Apply the indicator on 1H, 4H, or daily charts to track medium-term trends.
Look for green/red lines near key Fibonacci retracement or pivot levels.
Use reversal lines to detect early trend reversals before bigger moves occur.
✅ For Breakout Traders
Focus on the breakout line on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) to identify strong momentum shifts.
If price crosses the breakout line with strong volume, enter trades with trend confirmation.
Place stop-loss just below the breakout level for controlled risk management.
🏆 Final Thoughts
The Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) is a powerful momentum and reversal indicator that helps traders:
✅ Identify strong trend continuations (green/red lines).
✅ Detect early reversal points (cyan/light red lines).
✅ Use a dynamic breakout line for better trade entries & exits.

Impulse MACD enhancedThis indicator is designed to provide robust trade entry signals by combining multiple technical filters. Here’s a summary of its key components:
Impulse MACD Calculation:
Uses a Zero-Lag EMA (ZLEMA) based approach to generate a momentum indicator (with a signal line and histogram) that identifies shifts in market momentum.
Simulated Higher Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Computes an SMA over a multiplied period to simulate a higher timeframe trend. It requires the price to be in line with this broader trend before signaling an entry.
RSI Filter:
Ensures that for bullish entries the RSI is above a set threshold (indicating momentum) and for bearish entries it’s below a threshold.
ADX Filter:
Uses a manually calculated ADX to confirm that the market is in a strong trend (ADX > 30) to reduce false signals in weakly trending or sideways markets.
Volume Filter:
Compares the current volume to a 20‑bar SMA of volume, requiring volume to be significantly higher (by a user-defined percentage) to confirm the strength of the move.
VWAP Confirmation:
Uses the Volume-Weighted Average Price as an extra layer of confirmation: bullish signals require the price to be above VWAP, bearish signals below.
Optional Long-Term & Short-Term MA Filters:
These filters can be enabled to ensure the price is trading above (or below) longer-term and shorter-term moving averages, further aligning the trade with the prevailing trend.
ATR Volatility Filter:
Checks that volatility (as measured by the ATR relative to price) is below a maximum threshold, which helps avoid taking trades in overly volatile conditions.
Price Action Filter:
Ensures that for a bullish signal the current close is above the highest high over a specified lookback period (and vice versa for bearish), indicating a clear breakout.
Signal Throttling:
Signals are limited to one every 10 bars to prevent excessive trading.
When all these conditions are met, the indicator outputs an entry signal for either a bullish or bearish trade.
This multi-filter approach aims to increase win rate by reducing false signals and aligning trades with strong, confirmed trends while filtering out noise.

[SHORT ONLY] ATR Sell the Rip Mean Reversion Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "ATR Sell the Rip Mean Reversion Strategy" is a contrarian system that targets overextended price moves on stocks and ETFs. It calculates an ATR‐based trigger level to identify shorting opportunities. When the current close exceeds this smoothed ATR trigger, and if the close is below a 200-period EMA (if enabled), the strategy initiates a short entry, aiming to profit from an anticipated corrective pullback.
█ HOW IS THE ATR SIGNAL BAND CALCULATED?
This strategy computes an ATR-based signal trigger as follows:
Calculate the ATR
The strategy computes the Average True Range (ATR) using a configurable period provided by the user:
atrValue = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
Determine the Threshold
Multiply the ATR by a predefined multiplier and add it to the current close:
atrThreshold = close + atrValue * atrMultInput
Smooth the Threshold
Apply a Simple Moving Average over a specified period to smooth out the threshold, reducing noise:
signalTrigger = ta.sma(atrThreshold, smoothPeriodInput)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The current close is above the smoothed ATR signal trigger.
The trade occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
If the EMA filter is enabled, the close must also be below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), indicating a potential bearish reversal and prompting the strategy to close its short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
ATR Period: The period used to calculate the ATR, allowing for adaptability to different volatility conditions (default is 20).
ATR Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the raw threshold (default is 1.0).
Smoothing Period: The period over which the raw ATR threshold is smoothed using an SMA (default is 10).
Start Time and End Time: Defines the time window during which trades are allowed.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only executed if the current close is below the 200-period EMA, confirming a bearish trend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for use on the Daily timeframe, targeting stocks and ETFs by capitalizing on overextended price moves.
It utilizes a dynamic, ATR-based trigger to identify when prices have potentially peaked, setting the stage for a mean reversion short entry.
The optional EMA filter helps align trades with broader market trends, potentially reducing false signals.
Backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the ATR multiplier, smoothing period, and EMA settings to match the volatility and behavior of specific markets.
Crypto Scanner v4This guide explains a version 6 Pine Script that scans a user-provided list of cryptocurrency tokens to identify high probability tradable opportunities using several technical indicators. The script combines trend, momentum, and volume-based analyses to generate potential buying or selling signals, and it displays the results in a neatly formatted table with alerts for trading setups. Below is a detailed walkthrough of the script’s design, how traders can interpret its outputs, and recommendations for optimizing indicator inputs across different timeframes.
## Overview and Key Components
The script is designed to help traders assess multiple tokens by calculating several indicators for each one. The key components include:
- **Input Settings:**
- A comma-separated list of symbols to scan.
- Adjustable parameters for technical indicators such as ADX, RSI, MFI, and a custom Wave Trend indicator.
- Options to enable alerts and set update frequencies.
- **Indicator Calculations:**
- **ADX (Average Directional Index):** Measures trend strength. A value above the provided threshold indicates a strong trend, which is essential for validating momentum before entering a trade.
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index):** Helps determine overbought or oversold conditions. When the RSI is below the oversold level, it may present a buying opportunity, while an overbought condition (not explicitly part of this setup) could suggest selling.
- **MFI (Money Flow Index):** Similar in concept to RSI but incorporates volume, thus assessing buying and selling pressure. Values below the designated oversold threshold indicate potential undervaluation.
- **Wave Trend:** A custom indicator that calculates two components (WT1 and WT2); a crossover where WT1 moves from below to above WT2 (particularly near oversold levels) may signal a reversal and a potential entry point.
- **Scanning and Trading Zone:**
- The script identifies a *bullish setup* when the following conditions are met for a token:
- ADX exceeds the threshold (strong trend).
- Both RSI and MFI are below their oversold levels (indicating potential buying opportunities).
- A Wave Trend crossover confirms near-term reversal dynamics.
- A *trading zone* condition is also defined by specific ranges for ADX, RSI, MFI, and a limited difference between WT1 and WT2. This zone suggests that the token might be in a consolidation phase where even small moves may be significant.
- **Alerts and Table Reporting:**
- A table is generated, with each row corresponding to a token. The table contains columns for the symbol, ADX, RSI, MFI, WT1, WT2, and the trading zone status.
- Visual cues—such as different background colors—highlight tokens with a bullish setup or that are within the trading zone.
- Alerts are issued based on the detection of a bullish setup or entry into a trading zone. These alerts are limited per bar to avoid flooding the trader with notifications.
## How to Interpret the Indicator Outputs
Traders should use the indicator values as guidance, verifying them against their own analysis before making any trading decision. Here’s how to assess each output:
- **ADX:**
- **High values (above threshold):** Indicate strong trends. If other indicators confirm an oversold condition, a trader may consider a long position for a corrective reversal.
- **Low values:** Suggest that the market is not trending strongly, and caution should be taken when considering entry.
- **RSI and MFI:**
- **Below oversold levels:** These conditions are traditionally seen as signals that an asset is undervalued, potentially triggering a bounce.
- **Above typical resistance levels (not explicitly used here):** Would normally caution a trader against entering a long position.
- **Wave Trend (WT1 and WT2):**
- A crossover where WT1 moves upward above WT2 in an oversold environment can signal the beginning of a recovery or reversal, thereby reinforcing buy signals.
- **Trading Zone:**
- Being “in zone” means that the asset’s current values for ADX, RSI, MFI, and the closeness of the Wave Trend lines indicate a period of consolidation. This scenario might be suitable for both short-term scalping or as an early exit indicator, depending on further market analysis.
## Timeframe Optimization Input Table
Traders can optimize indicator inputs depending on the timeframe they use. The following table provides a set of recommended input values for various timeframes. These values are suggestions and should be adjusted based on market conditions and individual trading styles.
Timeframe ADX RSI MFI ADX RSI MFI WT Channel WT Average
5-min 10 10 10 20 30 20 7 15
15-min 12 12 12 22 30 20 9 18
1-hour 14 14 14 25 30 20 10 21
4-hour 16 16 16 27 30 20 12 24
1-day 18 18 18 30 30 20 14 28
Adjust these parameters directly in the script’s input settings to match the selected timeframe. For shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min), the shorter lengths help filter high-frequency noise. For longer timeframes (e.g., 1-day), longer input values may reduce false signals and capture more significant trends.
## Best Practices and Usage Tips
- **Token Limit:**
- Limit the number of tokens scanned to 10 per query line. If you need to scan more tokens, initiate a new query line. This helps manage screen real estate and ensures the table remains legible.
- **Confirming Signals:**
- Use this script as a starting point for identifying high potential trades. Each indicator’s output should be used to confirm your trading decision. Always cross-reference with additional technical analysis tools or market context.
- **Regular Review:**
- Since the script updates the table every few bars (as defined by the update frequency), review the table and alerts regularly. Market conditions change rapidly, so timely decisions are crucial.
## Conclusion
This Pine Script provides a comprehensive approach for scanning multiple cryptocurrencies using a combination of trend strength (ADX), momentum (RSI and MFI), and reversal signals (Wave Trend). By using the provided recommendation table for different timeframes and limiting the tokens to 20 per query line (with a maximum of four query lines), traders can streamline their scanning process and more effectively identify high probability tradable tokens. Ultimately, the outputs should be critically evaluated and combined with additional market research before executing any trades.
Daily COC Strategy with SHERLOCK WAVESThis indicator implements a unique trading strategy known as the "Daily COC (Candle Over Candle) Strategy" enhanced with "SHERLOCK WAVES" for pattern recognition. It's designed for traders looking to capitalize on specific candlestick formations with a negative risk-reward ratio, with the aim of achieving a high win rate (over 70%) through numerous trading opportunities, despite each trade having a higher risk relative to the reward.
Key Features:
Pattern Recognition: Identifies a setup based on three consecutive candles - a red candle followed by a shooting star, then an entry candle that does not break below the shooting star's low.
Negative Risk/Reward Trade Selection: Focuses on entries where the potential stop loss is greater than the take profit, banking on a high win rate to offset the individual trade's negative risk-reward ratio.
Visual Signals:
Green Label: Marks potential entry points at the high of the candle before the entry.
Green Dot: Indicates a winning trade closure.
Red Dot: Signals a losing trade closure.
Blue Circle: Warns when the current candle is within 2% of breaking above the previous candle's high, suggesting a potential setup is developing.
Green Circle: Plots the take profit level.
Red Circle: Plots the stop loss level.
Dynamic Statistics: A live updating label showing the number of trades, wins, losses, open trades, current account balance, and win percentage.
Customizable Parameters:
Risk % per Trade: Adjust the percentage of your account balance you're willing to risk on each trade.
Initial Account Balance: Set your starting balance for tracking performance.
Start Date for Strategy: Define when the strategy should start calculating from, allowing for backtesting.
Alerts:
An alert condition is set for when a potential trade setup is developing, helping traders prepare for entries.
Usage Tips:
This strategy is predicated on the idea that a high win rate can compensate for the negative risk-reward ratio of individual trades. It might not suit all market conditions or traders' risk profiles.
Use this strategy in conjunction with other analysis methods to validate trade setups.
Note: Always backtest thoroughly before applying to live markets. Consider this tool as part of a broader trading strategy, not a standalone solution. Monitor your win rate and adjust your risk management accordingly to ensure the strategy remains profitable over time.
This description now correctly explains the purpose behind the negative risk-reward ratio in the context of your trading strategy.
4 EMA & MACDThe indicator that combines Moving Average and MACD into one is very useful for providing a more complete picture of the market. Here's how it works:
Moving Average (MA): This is a trend indicator that smooths the price to show the dominant trend direction. MA helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways. For example, if the price is above the MA, it might indicate an uptrend, while if the price is below the MA, it might indicate a downtrend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): MACD measures market momentum and can provide entry and exit signals based on the difference between two moving averages (fast MA and slow MA). A buy signal occurs when the MACD crosses above the signal line, and a sell signal occurs when the MACD crosses below the signal line.
Combining both gives traders a more complete view:
MA provides an overview of the larger trend direction.
MACD helps identify moments when momentum supports a position for entering or exiting.
Common usage:
Entry: If the price is above the Moving Average (uptrend) and the MACD shows a buy signal (for example, MACD crossing above the signal line), it can be a signal to buy.
Exit: If the price starts moving below the MA and the MACD shows a sell signal, it can be a signal to sell or exit the position.
There is an indicator called MACD + Moving Average Cross, which combines both elements, providing stronger signals and making it easier to follow the market.

ENIGMA Signals with Retests Select higher Time FrameENIGMA Signals with Retests – Script Description
The "ENIGMA Signals with Retests" script is a unique indicator designed for traders who prefer precision trading based on price action retests of key levels derived from higher timeframes. This tool is ideal for those employing multi-timeframe analysis strategies, helping them detect high-probability trade entries when the price interacts with significant support and resistance levels.
What Does This Script Do?
This indicator identifies key levels from a higher timeframe selected by the user (e.g., 4-hour or daily), then tracks price action on lower timeframes to provide actionable buy and sell signals when the price retests these levels. It visually plots the key levels on the chart and triggers alerts for potential trade opportunities when conditions are met.
How It Works
Key Level Detection:
The script uses custom functions to detect recent swing highs and swing lows on the selected higher timeframe (such as 4H or Daily). These levels represent potential areas of support and resistance where price reactions are likely to occur.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The indicator leverages the request.security() function to retrieve price data from the user-defined higher timeframe and plots horizontal lines on the chart for the most recent swing highs and lows.
Retest-Based Signals:
Once the key levels are plotted, the script continuously monitors the price on the lower timeframe:
A Buy Signal is triggered when the price closes below a key high level and then moves back above it, indicating a potential bullish retest.
A Sell Signal is triggered when the price closes above a key low level and then moves back below it, indicating a potential bearish retest.
These retest signals are displayed as green and red arrows on the chart, helping traders identify optimal entry points.
Alerts for Retests:
The script includes built-in alert conditions that notify traders when a valid retest signal occurs. This allows traders to react promptly without constantly monitoring the chart.
How to Use the Script
Select Your Key Timeframe:
From the input settings, choose a higher timeframe that suits your trading style (e.g., 4H for intraday trading or Daily for swing trading).
Adjust Visual Preferences:
Customize the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) and length of the plotted levels.
Toggle labels for the levels on or off as per your preference.
Trade Execution:
Once a retest signal appears on the lower timeframe, consider entering a trade in the direction of the signal. The buy signal suggests a potential long entry, while the sell signal indicates a potential short entry.
Set Alerts:
Use the alert conditions provided to get notified whenever a valid retest occurs. This helps in reducing screen time and improving trading efficiency.
Underlying Concepts
This script is grounded in the principles of support and resistance, retests, and breakout trading. By focusing on multi-timeframe key levels, it aligns with widely used trading concepts like:
Breakout and Retest: Entering trades after a confirmed breakout and successful retest of a significant level.
Swing Highs and Lows: Recognizing swing points to identify strong price reaction zones.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Enhancing trade probability by ensuring that the signals on lower timeframes correspond with key levels from higher timeframes.
Why This Script Is Unique
Unlike many generic trend-following or scalping indicators, "ENIGMA Signals with Retests" offers:
Precision Signals: It only provides signals when specific retest conditions are met, reducing false signals and noise.
Multi-Timeframe Customization: Users can tailor the higher timeframe to their strategy, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Alert Functionality: Alerts are integrated, allowing traders to stay updated without constantly monitoring the charts.
This script is perfect for traders looking for a systematic way to trade retests of key levels across multiple timeframes. Whether you're a scalper, day trader, or swing trader, "ENIGMA Signals with Retests" can help improve your precision and timing in the market.
4H CRT (1AM and 5AM)This TradingView script is designed to assist traders in implementing the "4-Hour Candle Ranges Theory Strategy (CRT)" by identifying key levels and setups based on the 1am and 4am (5am) 4-hour candles. This strategy is particularly effective for trading high-volatility assets such as Gold, EUR/USD, NAS100, US30, and S&P500, with US30 showing a notably high win rate. Here's how the strategy works:
Key Features:
1. Marking 1am and 4am 4-Hour Candle Ranges
- The script highlights the high and low of the 1am 4-hour candle.
- It visually tracks whether the high or low of the 1am candle is taken out by the subsequent 4-hour candle (5am).
2. Entry Setup Rules
- Primary Setup: Wait for the high or low of the 1am candle to be taken out by the 5am candle. Once this sweep occurs, wait for a Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower time frame (15min) to confirm your entry.
- Secondary Setup: If the 5am candle fails to take out the high or low of the 1am candle, the setup focuses on the levels formed by the 5am candle.
3. Trade Execution on 15-Minute Timeframe
- The script supports a lower time frame (15min) view to identify MSS and fine-tune entries.
4. Rinse and Repeat
- This process can be applied daily for consistent opportunities across the specified assets.
Advantages:
- Provides clear visual markers for key levels based on the 4-hour candles.
- Automates level plotting, saving traders time and reducing manual errors.
- Integrates well with the 15-minute timeframe for precise entry triggers.
- Optimized for popular trading instruments, especially US30 for a higher probability of success.
This script simplifies the application of CRT by automating the process of identifying and marking critical levels, enabling traders to focus on executing high-probability setups effectively.

Dabel MS + FVGThis script is designed to assist traders by identifying market structures, imbalances, and potential trade opportunities using Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shifts (MSS). It visually highlights imbalances in price action, key pivots, and market structure changes, providing actionable information for making trading decisions.
Key features:
Imbalances Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish price gaps (Fair Value Gaps) using colored boxes. Users can choose the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) for imbalance midlines.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks pivot highs and lows to identify BOS and MSS in two separate market structures with adjustable pivot strengths.
Customizable Visualization: Allows users to choose line styles, colors, and display options for both imbalances and market structures.
Alerts: Alerts traders when BOS or MSS occur, helping to monitor the market effectively.
Trading Strategy
Imbalance Trading:
Imbalances (gaps) represent areas where supply or demand was left unfilled. These gaps often act as magnet zones where the price revisits to fill.
Bullish Imbalance: Look for buying opportunities when price enters a green imbalance zone.
Bearish Imbalance: Look for selling opportunities when price enters a red imbalance zone.
Use the midline of the imbalance box as a key reference point for potential reversals.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS):
BOS: Indicates a continuation of the existing trend. For example:
Bullish BOS: Look for continuation in the uptrend after a high is broken.
Bearish BOS: Look for continuation in the downtrend after a low is broken.
MSS: Suggests a potential reversal in market structure. For example:
Bullish MSS: Indicates a possible shift from a bearish to bullish market.
Bearish MSS: Indicates a potential shift from a bullish to bearish market.
Multiple Market Structures:
This script provide two sets of market structures, allowing traders to compare short-term and long-term trends.
Adjust the pivot strength to suit your trading style (lower for intraday trading, higher for swing or positional trading).
Entry and Exit:
Entry: Look for entries near imbalances or after confirmed BOS/MSS in line with the overall trend.
Exit: Place stop-loss below/above recent pivots and take profit at nearby support/resistance or imbalance zones.
For New Traders
Focus on Basics: Understand what BOS and MSS mean and how they signal trend direction or reversals.
Use Alerts: Rely on the script's alert system to catch important moments without staring at charts all day.
Start Small: Test this strategy on a demo account before using it live. You can understand it more with practice.
Adaptive Momentum Reversion StrategyThe Adaptive Momentum Reversion Strategy: An Empirical Approach to Market Behavior
The Adaptive Momentum Reversion Strategy seeks to capitalize on market price dynamics by combining concepts from momentum and mean reversion theories. This hybrid approach leverages a Rate of Change (ROC) indicator along with Bollinger Bands to identify overbought and oversold conditions, triggering trades based on the crossing of specific thresholds. The strategy aims to detect momentum shifts and exploit price reversions to their mean.
Theoretical Framework
Momentum and Mean Reversion: Momentum trading assumes that assets with a recent history of strong performance will continue in that direction, while mean reversion suggests that assets tend to return to their historical average over time (Fama & French, 1988; Poterba & Summers, 1988). This strategy incorporates elements of both, looking for periods when momentum is either overextended (and likely to revert) or when the asset’s price is temporarily underpriced relative to its historical trend.
Rate of Change (ROC): The ROC is a straightforward momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price over a specified period (Wilder, 1978). The strategy calculates the ROC over a 2-period window, making it responsive to short-term price changes. By using ROC, the strategy aims to detect price acceleration and deceleration.
Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands are used to identify volatility and potential price extremes, often signaling overbought or oversold conditions. The bands consist of a moving average and two standard deviation bounds that adjust dynamically with price volatility (Bollinger, 2002).
The strategy employs two sets of Bollinger Bands: one for short-term volatility (lower band) and another for longer-term trends (upper band), with different lengths and standard deviation multipliers.
Strategy Construction
Indicator Inputs:
ROC Period: The rate of change is computed over a 2-period window, which provides sensitivity to short-term price fluctuations.
Bollinger Bands:
Lower Band: Calculated with a 18-period length and a standard deviation of 1.7.
Upper Band: Calculated with a 21-period length and a standard deviation of 2.1.
Calculations:
ROC Calculation: The ROC is computed by comparing the current close price to the close price from rocPeriod days ago, expressing it as a percentage.
Bollinger Bands: The strategy calculates both upper and lower Bollinger Bands around the ROC, using a simple moving average as the central basis. The lower Bollinger Band is used as a reference for identifying potential long entry points when the ROC crosses above it, while the upper Bollinger Band serves as a reference for exits, when the ROC crosses below it.
Trading Conditions:
Long Entry: A long position is initiated when the ROC crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, signaling a potential shift from a period of low momentum to an increase in price movement.
Exit Condition: A position is closed when the ROC crosses under the upper Bollinger Band, or when the ROC drops below the lower band again, indicating a reversal or weakening of momentum.
Visual Indicators:
ROC Plot: The ROC is plotted as a line to visualize the momentum direction.
Bollinger Bands: The upper and lower bands, along with their basis (simple moving averages), are plotted to delineate the expected range for the ROC.
Background Color: To enhance decision-making, the strategy colors the background when extreme conditions are detected—green for oversold (ROC below the lower band) and red for overbought (ROC above the upper band), indicating potential reversal zones.
Strategy Performance Considerations
The use of Bollinger Bands in this strategy provides an adaptive framework that adjusts to changing market volatility. When volatility increases, the bands widen, allowing for larger price movements, while during quieter periods, the bands contract, reducing trade signals. This adaptiveness is critical in maintaining strategy effectiveness across different market conditions.
The strategy’s pyramiding setting is disabled (pyramiding=0), ensuring that only one position is taken at a time, which is a conservative risk management approach. Additionally, the strategy includes transaction costs and slippage parameters to account for real-world trading conditions.
Empirical Evidence and Relevance
The combination of momentum and mean reversion has been widely studied and shown to provide profitable opportunities under certain market conditions. Studies such as Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) confirm that momentum strategies tend to work well in trending markets, while mean reversion strategies have been effective during periods of high volatility or after sharp price movements (De Bondt & Thaler, 1985). By integrating both strategies into one system, the Adaptive Momentum Reversion Strategy may be able to capitalize on both trending and reverting market behavior.
Furthermore, research by Chan (1996) on momentum-based trading systems demonstrates that adaptive strategies, which adjust to changes in market volatility, often outperform static strategies, providing a compelling rationale for the use of Bollinger Bands in this context.
Conclusion
The Adaptive Momentum Reversion Strategy provides a robust framework for trading based on the dual concepts of momentum and mean reversion. By using ROC in combination with Bollinger Bands, the strategy is capable of identifying overbought and oversold conditions while adapting to changing market conditions. The use of adaptive indicators ensures that the strategy remains flexible and can perform across different market environments, potentially offering a competitive edge for traders who seek to balance risk and reward in their trading approaches.

Range Channel by Atilla YurtsevenThis script creates a dynamic channel around a user-selected moving average (MA). It calculates the relative difference between price and the MA, then finds the average of the positive differences and the negative differences separately. Using these averages, it plots upper and lower bands around the MA as well as a histogram-like oscillator to show when price moves above or below the average thresholds.
How It Works
Moving Average Selection
The indicator allows you to choose among multiple MA types (SMA, EMA, WMA, Linear Regression, etc.). Depending on your preference, it calculates the chosen MA for the selected lookback period.
Relative Difference Calculation
It then computes the percentage difference between the source (typically the closing price) and the MA. (diff = (src / ma - 1) * 100)
Positive & Negative Averages
- Positive differences are averaged and represent how far the price typically moves above the MA.
- Negative differences are similarly averaged for when price moves below the MA.
Range Channel & Oscillator
- The channel is plotted around the MA using the average positive and negative differences (Upper Edge and Lower Edge).
- The “Untrended” histogram plots the difference (diff). Green bars occur when price is above the MA on average, and red bars when below. Two additional lines mark the upper and lower average thresholds on this histogram.
How to Use
Identify Overbought/Oversold Zones: The upper edge can serve as a dynamic overbought level, while the lower edge can suggest potential oversold conditions. When the histogram approaches or crosses these levels, it may signal price extremes relative to its average movement.
Trend Confirmation: Compare price action relative to the channel. If price and the histogram consistently remain above the MA and upper threshold, it could indicate a stronger bullish trend. If they remain below, it might signal a prolonged bearish trend.
Entry/Exit Timings:
- Entry: Traders can look for moments when price breaks back inside the channel from an extreme, anticipating a mean reversion.
- Exit: Watching how price interacts with these dynamic edges can help define stop-loss or take-profit points.
Because these thresholds adapt over time based on actual price behavior, they can be more responsive than fixed-percentage bands. However, like all indicators, it’s most effective when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental tools.

VIX Spike StrategyThis script implements a trading strategy based on the Volatility Index (VIX) and its standard deviation. It aims to enter a long position when the VIX exceeds a certain number of standard deviations above its moving average, which is a signal of a volatility spike. The position is then exited after a set number of periods.
VIX Symbol (vix_symbol): The input allows the user to specify the symbol for the VIX index (typically "CBOE:VIX").
Standard Deviation Length (stddev_length): The number of periods used to calculate the standard deviation of the VIX. This can be adjusted by the user.
Standard Deviation Multiplier (stddev_multiple): This multiplier is used to determine how many standard deviations above the moving average the VIX must exceed to trigger a long entry.
Exit Periods (exit_periods): The user specifies how many periods after entering the position the strategy will exit the trade.
Strategy Logic:
Data Loading: The script loads the VIX data, both for the current timeframe and as a rescaled version for calculation purposes.
Standard Deviation Calculation: It calculates both the moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation of the VIX over the specified period (stddev_length).
Entry Condition: A long position is entered when the VIX exceeds the moving average by a specified multiple of its standard deviation (calculated as vix_mean + stddev_multiple * vix_stddev).
Exit Condition: After the position is entered, it will be closed after the user-defined number of periods (exit_periods).
Visualization:
The VIX is plotted in blue.
The moving average of the VIX is plotted in orange.
The threshold for the VIX, which is the moving average plus the standard deviation multiplier, is plotted in red.
The background turns green when the entry condition is met, providing a visual cue.
Sources:
The VIX is often used as a measure of market volatility, with high values indicating increased uncertainty in the market.
Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the variability or dispersion of a set of data points. In financial markets, it is used to measure the volatility of asset prices.

Gauti Market Maker Killzone EMA1. Identifying the Trend
Use Daily (1D) and Hourly (1H) Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to define the overall trend:
Bullish Trend: Both 1D and 1H EMAs are upward sloping, and the price is above these EMAs.
Bearish Trend: Both 1D and 1H EMAs are downward sloping, and the price is below these EMAs.
2. Confirmation with Higher Timeframes
Bullish Conditions:
Check 1D and 4H charts for price action above the EMA bands.
Look for price forming higher highs and higher lows or respecting support at the EMA bands.
Bearish Conditions:
Check 1D and 4H charts for price action below the EMA bands.
Look for price forming lower highs and lower lows or respecting resistance at the EMA bands.
Note: Crossover of EMAs on higher timeframes is an optional extra confirmation, but not mandatory for entry.
3. Entry Strategy
Use the 15-Minute (15M) timeframe for entries.
Entries are taken only during Killzones:
Killzones: London Open, New York Open, or other intraday key trading sessions. (Define the time ranges for these zones based on your trading hours.)
Wait for the price to touch or pull back to the EMA band during the Killzones in the direction of the overall trend:
In a bullish trend, enter long when the price touches the EMA band and shows signs of rejection or reversal.
In a bearish trend, enter short when the price touches the EMA band and shows signs of rejection or reversal.
4. Checklist for Entry
Confirm the following before entering:
1D Trend aligns with the 1H Trend.
Price Action in 1D and 4H supports the trend.
Killzone session is active.
Price is reacting to the EMA band on the 15M chart in the trend direction.
