GoombX backtest publicGoombX is an MA and stoch RSI based indicator which looks for particular crosses to identify strong trends.
It produces clear signals for:
- LONG ENTRY when it detects a significant MA cross and the right stoch RSI conditions
- LONG EXIT when certain stoch RSI conditions are met
- LONG STOP when price moves x% below entry (default 10%)
- SHORT ENTRY when it detects a significant MA cross and the right stoch RSI conditions
- SHORT EXIT when certain stoch RSI conditions are met
- SHORT STOP when price moves x% above entry (default 10%)
It is best fitted for 1D charts
NOTES
This is the Strategy version of GoombX for backtesting purpose only (stops in October 2019)
I strongly recommend backtesting with fees if you plan on using GoombX for automated trading
A signal is only definitive once the trigger candle has closed

EMA Mega Cross StrategyBased on Anvamsi's script which uses 12/26 EMA crosses for entry/exit signals. I also add the following features:
* Optimized default parameters for ETH 4hr chart
* Use EMA 55/200 relationship to filter out signals
* Use RSI vs EMA of RSI to filter out signals
* Use 26/55 EMA relationship to filter out signals
* Use volume climax technique as an additional exit strategy
* Uses bull/bear RSI divs as an additional exit strategy
* Adds bull RSI div quick flip plays when nothing else is going on for extra $$
This very experimental and my first major script. I've kept it invite only because the only people using this should have a direct line of communication open with me at this point.
NOTE #1:
You can get 2018 ETH trade profitability to reach 100% if you change line 97 from:
if (shortEMA and (rsi1 <= ema(rsi1,RSIEMALength)) and shorttrend and (ema(close,26) < ema(close,55)))
to:
if (shortEMA and (rsi1 <= ema(rsi1,RSIEMALength)) and shorttrend)
Basically, you remove an extra filter from the short strategy. It's novel to see profitability hit 100% but if you look at performance from 2017, it increases the max draw down by a lot!
NOTE #2:
I couldn't get RSI bear div quick flips to work so they are disabled. The remaining short strategy is in effect.
NOTE #3:
The profitability is good for long-only, if you check Strategy Tester->Performance Summary.
NOTE #4:
I am not an expert trader (mainly due to psychological factors i think) but i can program and have a good understanding of signal processing from working with analog synthesizers. Use this at your own risk. I am not liable if you lose all of your money!
NOTE #5:
Code is really messy. Old code commented out everywhere. :/
SB_CM_RSI_2_Strategy_Version 1.0The strategy is based on the indicator posted by @ChrisMoody "CM RSI-2 Strategy Lower Indicator" which is based on "Larry Connors RSI-2 Strategy - Lower RSI"
In this strategy the longs are placed when a green color is encountered in the rsi and short when red color is encountered in the rsi.
Although the profits can be booked at different interval.
Just message in the script if you have any different idea regarding this indicator.

Cowabunga System from babypips.comPlease do read the information below as well, especially if you are new to Forex.
The Cowabunga System is a type of Mechanical Trading System that filters trades based on the trend of the 4 hour chart with EMAs and some other familiar indicators (RSI, Stochastics and MACD) while entering trades base on 15 minute chart.
I have coded (quite amateurishly) the basic system onto a 15 minute chart (the 4 hour settings are coded as well). The author says the system is to be traded off the 15 minute chart with the 4 hour chart only as a reference for trend direction.
4 Hour Chart Settings
5 EMA
10 EMA
Stochastics (10,3,3)
RSI (9)
Then we move onto the 15 minute chart, where he gives us the trade entry rules.
15 Minute Chart Settings
5 EMA
10 EMA
Stochastics (10,3,3)
RSI (9)
MACD (12,26,9)
Entry Rules - long entry rules used, obviously reverse these for shorting.
1. EMA must cross above the 10 EMA.
2. RSI must be greater than 50 and not overbought.
3. Stochastic must be headed up and not be in overbought territory.
4. MACD histogram must go from negative to positive OR be negative and start to increase in value.
What I did.
1. Set the RSI and Stochastic levels to avoid entries when they indicate overbought conditions for long and oversold conditions for short (80 and 20 levels).
2. Users can input specific times they want to backtest.
3. User's can configure profit targets, trailing stops and stops. Default is set it to was 100 pips profit target with a 40 pip trailing stop. (Note, when you are changing these values, please note that each pip is worth 10, so 100 pips is entered as 1000.)
The Cowabunga System from babypips.com is another popular and active system. The author, Pip Surfer, continues to post wins and losses with this system. It shows there is a lot of honesty and integrity with this system if the author keeps up to date even 10 years later and is not afraid of sharing the times the system causes losses.
As an example of this, here is post he shared just last week . It's almost like a journal, he gives specific times and reasons why he entered, lets the readers know when he was stopped out, etc. I think that what he does is equally important as his system.

DTR V 1.0DTR V 1.0 – RSI + Stochastic Entry Strategy
by DTR Traders
This is a momentum-based entry and exit strategy that combines the RSI and Stochastic indicators. It’s designed to identify oversold buy opportunities and close positions during overbought conditions — great for catching short-term reversals.
🧠 Strategy Logic:
✅ Entry (Buy Signal):
A long trade is opened when both:
Stochastic is below the oversold level
RSI is below its oversold level
This double-confirmation helps filter out false signals and looks for strong oversold momentum.
❌ Exit (Sell Signal):
The position is closed when both:
Stochastic rises above the overbought level
RSI rises above its overbought level
This ensures you're exiting after a decent bounce or rally.
📈 Chart Behavior:
This script can automatically enter and exit trades using Pine Script’s strategy() function.
It plots visual signals on the chart and you can also see trades and PnL in the Strategy Tester tab. (Some Time Frames are more profitable than others, adjust it to your trading strategy).
💡 Use Cases:
Ideal for traders who like to buy low and sell high using oversold/overbought conditions.
Works well in ranging markets where price frequently reverses from extremes.
Can be adapted to different timeframes.
🚀 Tips for Better Performance:
Consider adding filters like trend confirmation (e.g., MA direction).
Pair with SL/TP management or alerts for real-time decision-making.
Backtest across assets and timeframes to find optimal settings.

Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS: Adaptive Quant, Real Regime Power
Let’s be honest: Most published strategies on TradingView look nearly identical—copy-paste “open-source quant,” generic “adaptive” buzzwords, the same shallow explanations. I’ve even fallen into this trap with my own previously posted strategies. Not this time.
What Makes This Unique
GENESIS is not a black-box mashup or a pre-built template. It’s the culmination of DAFE’s own adaptive, multi-factor, regime-aware quant engine—built to outperform, survive, and visualize live edge in anything from NQ/MNQ to stocks and crypto.
True multi-factor core: Volume/price imbalances, trend shifts, volatility compression/expansion, and RSI all interlock for signal creation.
Adaptive regime logic: Trades only in healthy, actionable conditions—no “one-size-fits-all” signals.
Momentum normalization: Uses rolling, percentile-based fast/slow EMA differentials, ALWAYS normalized, ALWAYS relevant—no “is it working?” ambiguity.
Position sizing that adapts: Not fixed-lot, not naive—not a loophole for revenge trading.
No hidden DCA or pyramiding—what you see is what you trade.
Dashboard and visual system: Directly connected to internal logic. If it’s shown, it’s used—and nothing cosmetic is presented on your chart that isn’t quantifiable.
📊 Inputs and What They Mean (Read Carefully)
Maximum Raw Score: How many distinct factors can contribute to regime/trade confidence (default 4). If you extend the quant logic, increase this.
RSI Length / Min RSI for Shorts / Max RSI for Longs: Fine-tunes how “overbought/oversold” matters; increase the length for smoother swings, tighten floors/ceilings for more extreme signals.
⚡ Regime & Momentum Gates
Min Normed Momentum/Score (Conf): Raise to demand only the strongest trends—your filter to avoid algorithmic chop.
🕒 Volatility & Session
ATR Lookback, ATR Low/High Percentile: These control your system’s awareness of when the market is dead or ultra-volatile. All sizing and filter logic adapts in real time.
Trading Session (hours): Easy filter for when entries are allowed; default is regular trading hours—no surprise overnight fills.
📊 Sizing & Risk
Max Dollar Risk / Base-Max Contracts: All sizing is adaptive, based on live regime and volatility state—never static or “just 1 contract.” Control your max exposures and real $ risk. ATR will effect losses in high volatility times.
🔄 Exits & Scaling
Stop/Trail/Scale multipliers: You choose how dynamic/flexible risk controls and profit-taking need to be. ATR-based, so everything auto-adjusts to the current market mode.
Visuals That Actually Matter
Dashboard (Top Right): Shows only live, relevant stats: scoring, status, position size, win %, win streak, total wins—all from actual trade engine state (not “simulated”).
Watermark (Bottom Right): Momentum bar visual is always-on, regime-aware, reflecting live regime confidence and momentum normalization. If the bar is empty, you’re truly in no-momentum. If it glows lime, you’re riding the strongest possible edge.
*No cosmetics, no hidden code distractions.
Backtest Settings
Initial capital: $10,000
Commission: Conservative, realistic roundtrip cost:
15–20 per contract (including slippage per side) I set this to $25
Slippage: 3 ticks per trade
Symbol: CME_MINI:NQ1!
Timeframe: 1 min (but works on all timeframes)
Order size: Adaptive, 1–3 contracts
No pyramiding, no hidden DCA
Why these settings?
These settings are intentionally strict and realistic, reflecting the true costs and risks of live trading. The 10,000 account size is accessible for most retail traders. 25/contract including 3 ticks of slippage are on the high side for NQ, ensuring the strategy is not curve-fit to perfect fills. If it works here, it will work in real conditions.
Why It Wins
While others put out “AI-powered” strategies with little logic or soul, GENESIS is ruthlessly practical. It is built around what keeps traders alive:
- Context-aware signals, not just patterns
- Tight, transparent risk
- Inputs that adapt, not confuse
- Visuals that clarify, not distract
- Code that runs clean, efficient, and with minimal overfitting risk (try it on QQQ, AMD, SOL, etc. out of the box)
Disclaimer (for TradingView compliance):
Trading is risky. Futures, stocks, and crypto can result in significant losses. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. This is for educational and informational purposes only. Use in simulation/backtest mode before live trading. No past performance is indicative of future results. Always understand your risk and ownership of your trades.
This will not be my last—my goal is to keep raising the bar until DAFE is a brand or I’m forced to take this private.
Use with discipline, use with clarity, and always trade smarter.

Vinicius Setup ATR
Description:
This script is a strategy based on the Supertrend indicator combined with volume analysis, candle strength, and RSI. Its goal is to identify potential entry points for buy and sell trades based on technical criteria, without promising profitability or guaranteed results.
Script Components:
Supertrend: Used as the main trend compass. When the trend is positive (direction = 1), buy signals are considered; when negative (direction = -1), sell signals are considered.
Volume: Entries are only validated if the volume is above the average of the last 20 candles, adjusted with a 1.2 multiplier.
Candle Body: The candle body must be larger than a certain percentage of the ATR, ensuring sufficient strength and volatility.
RSI: Used as a filter to avoid trades in extreme overbought or oversold zones.
Support and Resistance: Identified based on simple pivots (5 periods before and after).
Customizable Parameters:
ATR Length and Multiplier: Controls the sensitivity of the Supertrend.
RSI Period: Adjusts the relative strength filter.
Minimum Volume and Candle Body: Settings to validate entry signals.
Entry Conditions:
Buy: Positive trend + strong candle + high volume + RSI below 70.
Sell: Negative trend + strong candle + high volume + RSI above 30.
Exit Conditions:
The trade is closed upon the appearance of an opposite signal.
Notes:
This is a technical system with no profit guarantees.
It is recommended to test with realistic capital values and parameters suited to your risk management.
The script is not optimized for specific profitability, but rather to support study and the construction of setups with objective criteria.

Trailing Monster StrategyTrailing Monster Strategy
This is an experimental trend-following strategy that incorporates a custom adaptive moving average (PKAMA), RSI-based momentum filtering, and dynamic trailing stop-loss logic. It is designed for educational and research purposes only, and may require further optimization or risk management considerations prior to live deployment.
Strategy Logic
The strategy attempts to participate in sustained price trends by combining:
- A Power Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (PKAMA) for dynamic trend detection,
- RSI and Simple Moving Average (SMA) filters for market condition confirmation,
- A delayed trailing stop-loss to manage exits once a trade is in profit.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
- RSI exceeds the overbought threshold (default: 70),
- Price is trading above the 200-period SMA,
- PKAMA slope is positive (indicating upward momentum),
- A minimum number of bars have passed since the last entry.
Short Entry:
- RSI falls below the oversold threshold (default: 30),
- Price is trading below the 200-period SMA,
- PKAMA slope is negative (indicating downward momentum),
-A minimum number of bars have passed since the last entry.
Exit Conditions
- A trailing stop-loss is applied once the position has been open for a user-defined number of bars.
- The trailing distance is calculated as a fixed percentage of the average entry price.
Technical Notes
This script implements a custom version of the Power Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (PKAMA), conceptually inspired by alexgrover’s public implementation on TradingView .
Unlike traditional moving averages, PKAMA dynamically adjusts its responsiveness based on recent market volatility, allowing it to better capture trend changes in fast-moving assets like altcoins.

Adaptive Fibonacci Pullback System -FibonacciFluxAdaptive Fibonacci Pullback System (AFPS) - FibonacciFlux
This work is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Original concepts by FibonacciFlux.
Abstract
The Adaptive Fibonacci Pullback System (AFPS) presents a sophisticated, institutional-grade algorithmic strategy engineered for high-probability trend pullback entries. Developed by FibonacciFlux, AFPS uniquely integrates a proprietary Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend engine (0.618, 1.618, 2.618 ratios) for harmonic volatility assessment, an Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) Channel providing dynamic market context, and a synergistic Multi-Timeframe (MTF) filter suite (RSI, MACD, Volume). This strategy transcends simple indicator combinations through its strict, multi-stage confluence validation logic. Historical simulations suggest that specific MTF filter configurations can yield exceptional performance metrics, potentially achieving Profit Factors exceeding 2.6 , indicative of institutional-level potential, while maintaining controlled risk under realistic trading parameters (managed equity risk, commission, slippage).
4 hourly MTF filtering
1. Introduction: Elevating Pullback Trading with Adaptive Confluence
Traditional pullback strategies often struggle with noise, false signals, and adapting to changing market dynamics. AFPS addresses these challenges by introducing a novel framework grounded in Fibonacci principles and adaptive logic. Instead of relying on static levels or single confirmations, AFPS seeks high-probability pullback entries within established trends by validating signals through a rigorous confluence of:
Harmonic Volatility Context: Understanding the trend's stability and potential turning points using the unique Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend.
Adaptive Market Structure: Assessing the prevailing trend regime via the AMA Channel.
Multi-Dimensional Confirmation: Filtering signals with lower-timeframe Momentum (RSI), Trend Alignment (MACD), and Market Conviction (Volume) using the MTF suite.
The objective is to achieve superior signal quality and adaptability, moving beyond conventional pullback methodologies.
2. Core Methodology: Synergistic Integration
AFPS's effectiveness stems from the engineered synergy between its core components:
2.1. Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend Engine: Utilizes specific Fibonacci ratios (0.618, 1.618, 2.618) applied to ATR, creating a multi-layered volatility envelope potentially resonant with market harmonics. The averaged and EMA-smoothed result (`smoothed_supertrend`) provides a robust, dynamic trend baseline and context filter.
// Key Components: Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend & Smoothing
average_supertrend = (supertrend1 + supertrend2 + supertrend3) / 3
smoothed_supertrend = ta.ema(average_supertrend, st_smooth_length)
2.2. Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) Channel: Provides dynamic market context. The `ama_midline` serves as a key filter in the entry logic, confirming the broader trend bias relative to adaptive price action. Extended Fibonacci levels derived from the channel width offer potential dynamic S/R zones.
// Key Component: AMA Midline
ama_midline = (ama_high_band + ama_low_band) / 2
2.3. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Filter Suite: An optional but powerful validation layer (RSI, MACD, Volume) assessed on a lower timeframe. Acts as a **validation cascade** – signals must pass all enabled filters simultaneously.
2.4. High-Confluence Entry Logic: The core innovation. A pullback entry requires a specific sequence and validation:
Price interaction with `average_supertrend` and recovery above/below `smoothed_supertrend`.
Price confirmation relative to the `ama_midline`.
Simultaneous validation by all enabled MTF filters.
// Simplified Long Entry Logic Example (incorporates key elements)
long_entry_condition = enable_long_positions and
(low < average_supertrend and close > smoothed_supertrend) and // Pullback & Recovery
(close > ama_midline and close > ama_midline) and // AMA Confirmation
(rsi_filter_long_ok and macd_filter_long_ok and volume_filter_ok) // MTF Validation
This strict, multi-stage confluence significantly elevates signal quality compared to simpler pullback approaches.
1hourly filtering
3. Realistic Implementation and Performance Potential
AFPS is designed for practical application, incorporating realistic defaults and highlighting performance potential with crucial context:
3.1. Realistic Default Strategy Settings:
The script includes responsible default parameters:
strategy('Adaptive Fibonacci Pullback System - FibonacciFlux', shorttitle = "AFPS", ...,
initial_capital = 10000, // Accessible capital
default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity, // Equity-based risk
default_qty_value = 4, // Default 4% equity risk per initial trade
commission_type = strategy.commission.percent,
commission_value = 0.03, // Realistic commission
slippage = 2, // Realistic slippage
pyramiding = 2 // Limited pyramiding allowed
)
Note: The default 4% risk (`default_qty_value = 4`) requires careful user assessment and adjustment based on individual risk tolerance.
3.2. Historical Performance Insights & Institutional Potential:
Backtesting provides insights into historical behavior under specific conditions (always specify Asset/Timeframe/Dates when sharing results):
Default Performance Example: With defaults, historical tests might show characteristics like Overall PF ~1.38, Max DD ~1.16%, with potential Long/Short performance variance (e.g., Long PF 1.6+, Short PF < 1).
Optimized MTF Filter Performance: Crucially, historical simulations demonstrate that meticulous configuration of the MTF filters (particularly RSI and potentially others depending on market) can significantly enhance performance. Under specific, optimized MTF filter settings combined with appropriate risk management (e.g., 7.5% risk), historical tests have indicated the potential to achieve **Profit Factors exceeding 2.6**, alongside controlled drawdowns (e.g., ~1.32%). This level of performance, if consistently achievable (which requires ongoing adaptation), aligns with metrics often sought in institutional trading environments.
Disclaimer Reminder: These results are strictly historical simulations. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Achieving high performance requires careful parameter tuning, adaptation to changing markets, and robust risk management.
3.3. Emphasizing Risk Management:
Effective use of AFPS mandates active risk management. Utilize the built-in Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Trailing Stop features. The `pyramiding = 2` setting requires particularly diligent oversight. Do not rely solely on default settings.
4. Conclusion: Advancing Trend Pullback Strategies
The Adaptive Fibonacci Pullback System (AFPS) offers a sophisticated, theoretically grounded, and highly adaptable framework for identifying and executing high-probability trend pullback trades. Its unique blend of Fibonacci resonance, adaptive context, and multi-dimensional MTF filtering represents a significant advancement over conventional methods. While requiring thoughtful implementation and risk management, AFPS provides discerning traders with a powerful tool potentially capable of achieving institutional-level performance characteristics under optimized conditions.

Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB### Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB
This strategy combines three distinct trading approaches—reversals, trend breakouts, and opening range breakouts (ORB)—into a single, cohesive system. The goal is to capture high-probability setups across different market conditions, leveraging a mashup of technical indicators for confirmation and risk management. Below, I’ll explain why this combination works, how the components interact, and how to use it effectively.
#### Why the Mashup?
- **Reversals**: Identifies overextended moves using RSI (overbought/oversold) and SMA50 crosses, filtered by VWAP and SMA200 trend direction. This targets mean-reversion opportunities in trending markets.
- **Breakouts**: Uses EMA9/EMA20 crossovers with VWAP and SMA200 confirmation to catch momentum-driven trend continuations.
- **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**: Detects early momentum by breaking the high/low of a user-defined opening range (default: 15 bars) with volume confirmation. This adds a time-based edge, ideal for intraday trading.
The synergy comes from blending these methods: reversals catch pullbacks, breakouts ride trends, and ORB exploits early volatility—all filtered by trend (SMA200) and anchored by VWAP for context.
#### How It Works
1. **Indicators**:
- **EMA9/EMA20**: Fast-moving averages for breakout signals.
- **SMA50**: Medium-term trend filter for reversals.
- **SMA200**: Long-term trend direction to align trades.
- **RSI (14)**: Measures overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions.
- **VWAP**: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level.
- **ATR (14)**: Sets stop-loss distance (default: 1.5x ATR).
- **Volume**: Confirms ORB breakouts (1.5x average volume of opening range).
2. **Entry Conditions**:
- **Long**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI < 30 + below VWAP + uptrend), breakout (EMA9 > EMA20 + above VWAP + uptrend), or ORB (break above opening range high + volume).
- **Short**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI > 70 + above VWAP + downtrend), breakout (EMA9 < EMA20 + below VWAP + downtrend), or ORB (break below opening range low + volume).
3. **Risk Management**:
- Risks 5% of equity per trade (based on the initial capital set in the strategy tester).
- Stop-loss: Based on lowest low/highest high over 7 bars ± 1.5x ATR.
- Targets: Two exits at 1:1 and 1:2 risk:reward (50% of position at each).
- Break-even: Stop moves to entry price after the first target is hit.
4. **Backtesting Settings**:
- Commission: Hardcoded at 0.1% per trade (realistic for most brokers).
- Slippage: Hardcoded at 2 ticks (realistic for most markets).
- Tested on datasets yielding 100+ trades (e.g., 2-min or 5-min charts over months).
#### How to Use It
- **Timeframe**: Works best on intraday (2-min, 5-min) or daily charts. Adjust `Opening Range Bars` (e.g., 15 bars = 30 min on 2-min chart) for your timeframe.
- **Settings**:
- Set your initial equity in the TradingView strategy tester’s "Properties" tab under "Initial Capital" (e.g., $10,000). The script automatically risks 5% of this equity per trade.
- Adjust `Stop Loss ATR Multiplier` or `Risk:Reward Targets` based on your risk tolerance.
- Note that commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) are fixed in the script for backtesting consistency.
- **Execution**: Enter on signal, monitor plotted stop (red) and targets (green/blue). The strategy supports pyramiding (up to 2 positions) for scaling into trends.
#### Backtesting Notes
Results are realistic with commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) included. For a sufficient sample, test on volatile instruments (e.g., stocks, forex) over 3-6 months on lower timeframes. The default 1.5x ATR stop may seem wide, but it’s justified to avoid premature exits in volatile markets—feel free to tweak it with justification. The script assumes an initial capital of $10,000 in the strategy tester for the 5% risk calculation (e.g., $500 risk per trade); adjust this in the "Properties" tab as needed.
This mashup isn’t just a random mix; it’s a deliberate fusion of complementary strategies, offering traders flexibility across market phases. Questions? Let me know!
Ultimate Trading BotHow the "Ultimate Trading Bot" Works:
This Pine Script trading bot executes buy and sell trades based on a combination of technical indicators:
Indicators Used:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures momentum and determines overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels.
A crossover above 30 suggests a potential buy, and a cross below 70 suggests a potential sell.
Moving Average (MA)
A simple moving average (SMA) of 50 periods to track the trend.
Prices above the MA indicate an uptrend, while prices below indicate a downtrend.
Stochastic Oscillator (%K and %D)
Identifies overbought and oversold conditions using a smoothed stochastic formula.
A crossover of %K above %D signals a buy, and a crossover below %D signals a sell.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Uses a 12-period fast EMA and a 26-period slow EMA, with a 9-period signal line.
A crossover of MACD above the signal line suggests a bullish move, and a cross below suggests bearish movement.
Trade Execution:
Buy (Long Entry) Conditions:
RSI crosses above 30 (indicating recovery from an oversold state).
The closing price is above the 50-period moving average (showing an uptrend).
The MACD line crosses above the signal line (indicating upward momentum).
The Stochastic %K crosses above %D (indicating bullish momentum).
→ If all conditions are met, the bot enters a long (buy) position.
Sell (Exit Trade) Conditions:
RSI crosses below 70 (indicating overbought conditions).
The closing price is below the 50-period moving average (downtrend).
The MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish signal).
The Stochastic %K crosses below %D (bearish momentum).
→ If all conditions are met, the bot closes the long position.
Visuals:
The bot plots the moving average, RSI, MACD, and Stochastic indicators for reference.
It also displays buy/sell signals with arrows:
Green arrow (Buy Signal) → When all buy conditions are met.
Red arrow (Sell Signal) → When all sell conditions are met.

Volatility Momentum Breakout StrategyDescription:
Overview:
The Volatility Momentum Breakout Strategy is designed to capture significant price moves by combining a volatility breakout approach with trend and momentum filters. This strategy dynamically calculates breakout levels based on market volatility and uses these levels along with trend and momentum conditions to identify trade opportunities.
How It Works:
1. Volatility Breakout:
• Methodology:
The strategy computes the highest high and lowest low over a defined lookback period (excluding the current bar to avoid look-ahead bias). A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) is then added to (or subtracted from) these levels to form dynamic breakout thresholds.
• Purpose:
This method helps capture significant price movements (breakouts) while ensuring that only past data is used, thereby maintaining realistic signal generation.
2. Trend Filtering:
• Methodology:
A short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is applied to determine the prevailing trend.
• Purpose:
Long trades are considered only when the current price is above the EMA, indicating an uptrend, while short trades are taken only when the price is below the EMA, indicating a downtrend.
3. Momentum Confirmation:
• Methodology:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is used to gauge market momentum.
• Purpose:
For long entries, the RSI must be above a mid-level (e.g., above 50) to confirm upward momentum, and for short entries, it must be below a similar threshold. This helps filter out signals during overextended conditions.
Entry Conditions:
• Long Entry:
A long position is triggered when the current closing price exceeds the calculated long breakout level, the price is above the short-term EMA, and the RSI confirms momentum (e.g., above 50).
• Short Entry:
A short position is triggered when the closing price falls below the calculated short breakout level, the price is below the EMA, and the RSI confirms momentum (e.g., below 50).
Risk Management:
• Position Sizing:
Trades are sized to risk a fixed percentage of account equity (set here to 5% per trade in the code, with each trade’s stop loss defined so that risk is limited to approximately 2% of the entry price).
• Stop Loss & Take Profit:
A stop loss is placed a fixed ATR multiple away from the entry price, and a take profit target is set to achieve a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
• Realistic Backtesting:
The strategy is backtested using an initial capital of $10,000, with a commission of 0.1% per trade and slippage of 1 tick per bar—parameters chosen to reflect conditions faced by the average trader.
Important Disclaimers:
• No Look-Ahead Bias:
All breakout levels are calculated using only past data (excluding the current bar) to ensure that the strategy does not “peek” into future data.
• Educational Purpose:
This strategy is experimental and provided solely for educational purposes. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
• User Responsibility:
Traders should thoroughly backtest and paper trade the strategy under various market conditions and adjust parameters to fit their own risk tolerance and trading style before live deployment.
Conclusion:
By integrating volatility-based breakout signals with trend and momentum filters, the Volatility Momentum Breakout Strategy offers a unique method to capture significant price moves in a disciplined manner. This publication provides a transparent explanation of the strategy’s components and realistic backtesting parameters, making it a useful tool for educational purposes and further customization by the TradingView community.

DSL Strategy [DailyPanda]
Overview
The DSL Strategy by DailyPanda is a trading strategy that synergistically combines the idea from indicators to create a more robust and reliable trading tool. By integrating these indicators, the strategy enhances signal accuracy and provides traders with a comprehensive view of market trends and momentum shifts. This combination allows for better entry and exit points, improved risk management, and adaptability to various market conditions.
Combining ideas from indicators adds value by:
Enhancing Signal Confirmation : The strategy requires alignment between trend and momentum before generating trade signals, reducing false entries.
Improving Accuracy : By integrating price action with momentum analysis, the strategy captures more reliable trading opportunities.
Providing Comprehensive Market Insight : The combination offers a better perspective on the market, considering both the direction (trend) and the strength (momentum) of price movements.
How the Components Work Together
1. Trend Identification with DSL Indicator
Dynamic Signal Lines : Calculates upper and lower DSL lines based on a moving average (SMA) and dynamic thresholds derived from recent highs and lows with a specified offset. These lines adapt to market conditions, providing real-time trend insights.
ATR-Based Bands : Adds bands around the DSL lines using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a width factor. These bands account for market volatility and help identify potential stop-loss levels.
Trend Confirmation : The relationship between the price, DSL lines, and bands determines the current trend. For example, if the price consistently stays above the upper DSL line, it indicates a bullish trend.
2. Momentum Analysis
RSI Calculation : Computes the RSI over a specified period to measure the speed and change of price movements.
Zero-Lag EMA (ZLEMA) : Applies a ZLEMA to the RSI to minimize lag and produce a more responsive oscillator.
DSL Application on Oscillator : Implements the DSL concept on the oscillator by calculating dynamic upper and lower levels. This helps identify overbought or oversold conditions more accurately.
Signal Generation : Detects crossovers between the oscillator and its DSL lines. A crossover above the lower DSL line signals potential bullish momentum, while a crossover below the upper DSL line signals potential bearish momentum.
3. Integrated Signal Filtering
Confluence Requirement : A trade signal is generated only when both the DSL indicator and oscillator agree. For instance, a long entry requires both an uptrend confirmation from the DSL indicator and a bullish momentum signal from the oscillator.
Risk Management Integration : The strategy uses the DSL indicator's bands for setting stop-loss levels and calculates take-profit levels based on a user-defined risk-reward ratio. This ensures that every trade has a predefined risk management plan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originality and Value Added to the Community
Unique Synergy : While both indicators are available individually, this strategy is original in how it combines them to enhance their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses, offering a novel approach not present in existing scripts.
Enhanced Reliability : By requiring confirmation from both trend and momentum indicators, the strategy reduces false signals and increases the likelihood of successful trades.
Versatility : The customizable parameters allow traders to adapt the strategy to different instruments, timeframes, and trading styles, making it a valuable tool for a wide range of trading scenarios.
Educational Contribution : The script demonstrates an effective method of combining indicators for improved trading performance, providing insights that other traders can learn from and apply to their own strategies.

Larry Conners SMTP StrategyThe Spent Market Trading Pattern is a strategy developed by Larry Connors, typically used for short-term mean reversion trading. This strategy takes advantage of the exhaustion in market momentum by entering trades when the market is perceived as "spent" after extended trends or extreme moves, expecting a short-term reversal. Connors uses indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index) and price action patterns to identify these opportunities.
Key Elements of the Strategy:
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: The strategy looks for extreme overbought or oversold conditions, often indicated by low RSI values (below 30 for oversold and above 70 for overbought).
Mean Reversion: Connors believed that markets, especially in short-term scenarios, tend to revert to the mean after periods of strong momentum. The "spent" market is assumed to have expended its energy, making a reversal likely.
Entry Signals:
In an uptrend, a stock or market index making a significant number of consecutive up days (e.g., 5-7 consecutive days with higher closes) indicates overbought conditions.
In a downtrend, a similar number of consecutive down days indicates oversold conditions.
Reversal Anticipation: Once an extreme in price movement is identified (such as consecutive gains or losses), the strategy places trades anticipating a reversion to the mean, which is usually the 5-day or 10-day moving average.
Exit Points: Trades are exited when prices move back toward their mean or when the extreme conditions dissipate, usually based on RSI or moving average thresholds.
Why the Strategy Works:
Human Psychology: The strategy capitalizes on the fact that markets, in the short term, often behave irrationally due to the emotions of traders—fear and greed lead to overextended moves.
Mean Reversion Tendency: Financial markets often exhibit mean-reverting behavior, where prices temporarily deviate from their historical norms but eventually return. Short-term exhaustion after a strong rally or sell-off offers opportunities for quick profits.
Overextended Moves: Markets that rise or fall too quickly tend to become overextended, as buyers or sellers get exhausted, making reversals more probable. Connors’ approach identifies these moments when the market is "spent" and ripe for a reversal.
Risks of the Spent Market Trading Pattern Strategy:
Trend Continuation: One of the key risks is that the market may not revert as expected and instead continues in the same direction. In trending markets, mean-reversion strategies can suffer because strong trends can last longer than anticipated.
False Signals: The strategy relies heavily on technical indicators like RSI, which can produce false signals in volatile or choppy markets. There can be times when a market appears "spent" but continues in its current direction.
Market Timing: Mean reversion strategies often require precise market timing. If the entry or exit points are mistimed, it can lead to losses, especially in short-term trades where small price movements can significantly impact profitability.
High Transaction Costs: This strategy requires frequent trades, which can lead to higher transaction costs, especially in markets with wide bid-ask spreads or high commissions.
Conclusion:
Larry Connors’ Spent Market Trading Pattern strategy is built on the principle of mean reversion, leveraging the concept that markets tend to revert to a mean after extreme moves. While effective in certain conditions, such as range-bound markets, it carries risks—especially during strong trends—where price momentum may not reverse as quickly as expected.
For a more in-depth explanation, Larry Connors’ books such as "Short-Term Trading Strategies That Work" provide a comprehensive guide to this and other strategies .
