EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.

Stochastic Moving AverageHi all,
This Strategy script combines the power of EMAs along with the Stochastic Oscillator in a trend following / continuation manner, along with some cool functionalities.
I designed this script especially for trading altcoins, but it works just as good on Bitcoin itself and on some Forex pairs.
______ SIGNALS ______
The script has 4 mandatory conditions to unlock a trading signal. Find these conditions for a long trade below (works the exact other way round for shorts)
- Fast EMA must be higher than Slow EMA
- Stochastic K% line must be in oversold territory
- Stochastic K% line must cross over Stochastic D% line
- Price as to close between slow EMA and fast EMA
Once all the conditions are true, a trade will start at the opening of the next
______ SETTINGS ______
- Trade Setup:
Here you can choose to trade only longs or shorts and change your Risk:Reward.
You can also decide to adjust your volume per position according to your risk tolerance. With “% of Equity” your stop loss will always be equal to a fixed percentage of your initial capital (will “compound” overtime) and with “$ Amount” your stop loss will always be 'x' amount of the base currency (ex: USD, will not compound)
Stop Loss:
The ATR is used to create a stop loss that matches current volatility. The multiplier corresponds to how many times the ATR stop losses and take profits will be away from closing price.
- Stochastic:
Here you can find the usual K% & D% length and overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) levels.
The “Stochastic OB/OS lookback” increase the tolerance towards OB/OS territories. It allows to look 'x' bars back for a value of the Stochastic K line to be overbought or oversold when detecting an entry signal.
The “All must be OB/OS” refers to the previous “Stochastic OB/OS lookback” parameter. If this option is ticked, instead of needing only 1 OB/OS value within the lookback period to get a valid signal, now, all bars looked back must be OB/OS.
The color gradient drawn between the fast and slow EMAs is a representation of the Stochastic K% line position. With default setting colors, when fast EMA > slow EMA, gradient will become solid blue when Stochastic is oversold and when slow EMA > fast EMA, gradient will become solid blue when Stochastic is overbought
- EMAs:
Just pick your favorite ones
- Reference Market:
An additional filter to be certain to stay aligned with the current a market index trend (in our case: Bitcoin). If selected reference market (and timeframe) is trading above selected EMA, this strategy will only take long trades (vice-versa for shorts) Because, let’s face it… even if this filter isn’t bulletproof, you know for sure that when Bitcoin tanks, there won’t be many Alts going north simultaneously. Once again, this is a trend following strategy.
A few tips for increased performance: fast EMA and D% Line can be real fast… 😉
As always, my scripts evolve greatly with your ideas and suggestions, keep them coming! I will gladly incorporate more functionalities as I go.
All my script are tradable when published but remain work in progress, looking for further improvements.
Hope you like it!
Breakout Trend Trading Strategy - V1Strategy in nutshell:
This strategy is made to be used in daily time-frames. Works better on trending instruments where volume is available. Hence, this is more suitable for trending shares rather than currencies, commodities and indexes where volume data is either not present or not reliable.
Breakout signifies the continuation of trend. Hence, trade in the direction of breakouts. Breakouts are calculated based on high volume and price movement in a day. This will be combined with few other conditions to generate buy and sell signals along with stop and compound targets. Supertrend is used for trend bias. Our buy and sell targets do not directly depend on the bias. But, entry criteria in opposite trend is made much difficult than that of trend direction. Further explanation of method and input parameters are explained below.
Backtesting parameters :
Capital and position sizing : Capital and position sizing parameters are set to test investing 2000 wholly on certain stock without compounding.
Initial Capital : 2000
Order Size : 100% of equity
Pyramiding : 1
ExitOnSignal : If unchecked exit is triggered solely on trailing stop
Trade Direction : Long, Short or All. Short condition is riskier than long conditions and often results in losses as per my observation. On most of the stocks trending up, strategy will not generate any short signals. This is achieved by comparing yearly high lows to previous two years to decide whether to allow short or long entries.
allowImmediateCompound : Applicable only if compounding/pyramiding is enabled in trade. If checked allows to place compounding orders immediately. If unchecked, it waits for stopline to cross order price before placing next compound.
Display Mode :
Targets : Whenever breakout happens, show marker for upTarget and downTarget
TargetChannel : Show up target and downtarget as a channel
Target With Stop : Along with targets, show also stop levels for breakouts
Up Channel : Channel created from UpTarget and respective stops
Down Channel : Channel created from DownTarget and respective stops
ShowTrailingStop : Shows trailing stop and compound lines when there is a trading position.
ShowTargetLevels : Shows Buy Sell target levels along with stop and compound lines. Trades are done as market orders. Hence, target levels are displayed after strategy makes the trade. Since only one order allowed per side without compounding, target, stop and compound levels are shown sometimes even without trade being made. These can be considered as entry levels if there is no existing position.
ShowPreviousLevels : Shows previous buy/sell target levels. When enabled, layout can look messy.
StopMultiplyer: To Set trailing stop loss.
BacktestYears: Number of years to include in backtest
So far my test cases are:
Positive : AAPL, AMZN, TSLA, RUN, VRT, ASX:APT
Negative Test Cases: WPL, WHC, NHC, WOW, COL, NAB (All ASX stocks)
Special test case: WDI
Negative test cases still show losses in backtesting. I have attempted including many conditions to eliminate or reduce the loss. But, further efforts has resulted in reduction in profits in positive cases as well. Still experimenting. Will update whenever I find improvements. Comments and suggestions welcome :)
Grid Like StrategyIt is possible to use progressive position sizing in order to recover from past losses, a well-known position sizing system being the "martingale", which consists of doubling your position size after a loss, this allows you to recover any previous losses in a losing streak + winning an extra. This system has seen a lot of attention from the trading community (mostly from beginners), and many strategies have been designed around the martingale, one of them being "grid trading strategies".
While such strategies often shows promising results on paper, they are often subjects to many frictions during live trading that makes them totally unusable and dangerous to the trader. The motivations behind posting such a strategy isn't to glorify such systems, but rather to present the problems behind them, many users come to me with their ideas and glorious ways to make money, sometimes they present strategies using the martingale, and it is important to present the flaws of this methodology rather than blindly saying "you shouldn't use it".
Strategy Settings
Point determines the "grid" size and should be adjusted accordingly to the scale of the symbol you are applying the strategy to. Higher value would require larger price movements in order to trigger a trade, as such higher values will generate fewer trades.
The order size determines the number of contracts/shares to purchase.
The martingale multiplier determines the factor by which the position size is multiplied after a loss, using values higher to 2 will "squarify" your balance, while a value of 1 would use a constant position sizing.
Finally, the anti-martingale parameter determines whether the strategy uses a reverse martingale or not, if set to true then the position size is multiplied after any wins.
The Grid
Grid strategies are commons and do not present huge problems until we use certain position sizing methods such as the martingale. A martingale is extremely sensitive to any kind of friction (frictional costs, slippage...etc), the grid strategy aims to provide a stable and simple environment where a martingale might possibly behave well.
The goal of a simple grid strategy is to go long once the price crossover a certain level, a take profit is set at the level above the current one and stop loss is placed at the level below the current one, in a winning scenario the price reach the take profit, the position is closed and a new one is opened with the same setup. In a losing scenario, the price reaches the stop loss level, the position is closed and a short one is opened, the take profit is set at the level below the current one, and a stop loss is set at the level above the current one. Note that all levels are equally spaced.
It follows from this strategy that wins and losses should be constant over time, as such our balance would evolve in a linear fashion. This is a great setup for a martingale, as we are theoretically assured to recover all the looses in a losing streak.
Martingale - Exponential Decays - Risk/Reward
By using a martingale we double our position size (exposure) each time we lose a trade, if we look at our balance when using a martingale we see significant drawdowns, with our balance peaking down significantly. The martingale sequence is subject to exponential growth, as such using a martingale makes our balance exposed to exponential decays, that's really bad, we could basically lose all the initially invested capital in a short amount of time, it follows from this that the theoretical success of a martingale is determined by what is the maximum losing streak you can endure
Now consider how a martingale affects our risk-reward ratio, assuming unity position sizing our martingale sequence can be described by 2^(x-1) , using this formula we would get the amount of shares/contracts we need to purchase at the x trade of a losing streak, we would need to purchase 256 contracts in order to recover from a losing streak of size 9, this is enormous when you take into account that your wins are way smaller, the risk-reward ratio is totally unfair.
Of course, some users might think that a losing streak of size 9 is pretty unlikely, if the probability of winning and losing are both equal to 0.5, then the probability of 9 consecutive losses is equal to 0.5^9 , there are approximately 0.2% of chance of having such large losing streak, note however that under a ranging market such case scenario could happen, but we will see later that the length of a losing streak is not the only problem.
Other Problems
Having a capital large enough to tank 9any number of consecutive losses is not the only thing one should focus on, as we have to take into account market prices and trading dynamics, that's where the ugly part start.
Our first problem is frictional costs, one example being the spread, but this is a common problem for any strategy, however here a martingale is extra sensitive to it, if the strategy does not account for it then we will still double our positions costs but we might not recover all the losses of a losing streak, instead we would be recovering only a proportion of it, under such scenario you would be certain to lose over time.
Another problem are gaps, market price might open under a stop-loss without triggering it, and this is a big no-no.
Equity of the strategy on AMD, in a desired scenario the equity at the second arrow should have been at a higher position than the equity at the first arrow.
In order for the strategy to be more effective, we would need to trade a market that does not close, such as the cryptocurrency market. Finally, we might be affected by slippage, altho only extreme values might drastically affect our balance.
The Anti Martingale
The strategy lets you use an anti-martingale, which double the position size after a win instead of a loss, the goal here is not to recover from a losing strike but instead to profit from a potential winning streak.
Here we are exposing your balance to exponential gross but you might also lose a trade at the end a winning streak, you will generally want to reinitialize your position size after a few wins instead of waiting for the end of a streak.
Alternative
You can use other-kind of progressions for position sizing, such as a linear one, increasing your position size by a constant number each time you lose. More gentle progressions will recover a proportion of your losses in a losing streak.
You can also simulate the effect of a martingale without doubling your position size by doubling your target profit, if for example you have a 10$ profit-target/stop-loss and lose a trade, you can use a 20$ profit target to recover from the lost trade + gain a profit of 10$. While this approach does not introduce exponential decay in your balance, you are betting on the market reaching your take profits, considering the fact that you are doubling their size you are expecting market volatility to increase drastically over time, as such this approach would not be extremely effective for high losing streak.
Conclusion
You will see a lot of auto-trading strategies that are based on a grid approach, they might even use a martingale. While the backtests will look appealing, you should think twice before using such kind of strategy, remember that frictional costs will be a huge challenge for the strategy, and that it assumes that the trader has an important initial capital. We have also seen that the risk/reward ratio is theoretically the worst you can have on a strategy, having a low reward and a high risk. This does not mean that progressive position sizing is bad, but it should not be pushed to the extreme.
It is nice to note that the martingale is originally a betting system designed for casino games, which unlike trading are not subject to frictional costs, but even casino players don't use it, so why would you?

## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY
### The Three Fundamental Laws
#### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand**
- Price rises when demand exceeds supply
- Price falls when supply exceeds demand
- The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances
#### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect**
- A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect)
- A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect)
- Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement
#### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result**
- **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market)
- **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar)
- High effort with low result = potential reversal
- Low effort with high result = trend weakness
### The Five Phases
#### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend**
- Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying
- Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion
- Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range develops
- Supply being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
- Volume generally decreases
**Phase C: The Test (Spring)**
- False breakdown below support
- Traps late sellers
- Quick reversal on low volume
- Last chance to accumulate before markup
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance
- Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity
- Backup (BU): Final consolidation
- Demand clearly exceeds supply
**Phase E: Markup**
- New uptrend established
- Price moves rapidly higher
- Phase E can last months/years
- Original trading range becomes support
#### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend**
- Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling
- Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion
- Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range at top
- Demand being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
**Phase C: The Test (UTAD)**
- Upthrust After Distribution
- False breakout above resistance
- Traps late buyers
- Quick reversal
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support
- Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit
- Supply clearly exceeds demand
**Phase E: Markdown**
- New downtrend established
- Price moves rapidly lower
- Original trading range becomes resistance

## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B)
2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Buy on SOS breakout
- Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Below the spring low or trading range bottom
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range (cause)
- Project upward from breakout point (effect)
- Minimum target = range height
**Example:**
```
Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range)
SOS Breakout at: 120
Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum
```
### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range after uptrend
2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown
- Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Above the UTAD high or trading range top
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range
- Project downward from breakdown point
- Minimum target = range height
### Strategy 3: Spring Trading
**Setup:**
1. Strong downtrend followed by range
2. Price breaks below range bottom
3. Volume is LOW on breakdown
4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support
**Entry:**
- When candle closes above support level
- Or on retest of support
**Stop Loss:**
- Below spring low (usually tight)
**Target:**
- Top of trading range
- Previous swing high
**Risk/Reward:**
- Typically 1:3 or better
### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking
**Setup:**
1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones
2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test)
3. Volume decreasing during range
**Entry:**
- At next demand zone test
- On SOS breakout
**Confirmation:**
- Background turning green (Phase D/E)
- Table shows "BULLISH" bias
### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Strong trend in place
2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme
3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS)
**Entry:**
- When trend breaks down/up
- On retest of extreme
**Example (Bullish):**
```
Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar
Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar
```

- Spring is the key signal
### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution
```
Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing downtrend
- Shorter distribution period
- Often no clear BC (trend is already down)
- UTAD is the key signal
### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout
**Bullish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring)
```
- Price breaks support
- Volume is LOW
- Immediate strong reversal
- Very bullish
**Bearish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD)
```
- Price breaks resistance
- Volume may be high initially
- Quick rejection and reversal
- Very bearish
---
## TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
### Daily Charts (Most Reliable)
- Best for swing trading
- Clear phases and events
- Less noise
- Recommended for beginners
### 4-Hour Charts
- Good for active swing traders
- Faster signals than daily
- Still reliable
### 1-Hour Charts
- For day traders
- More false signals
- Need to filter carefully
- Use in conjunction with higher timeframe
### 15-Minute / 5-Minute
- Only for experienced traders
- High noise level
- Many false signals
- Use daily chart for context
**Golden Rule:** Always check higher timeframe first!
---
## MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS
### Top-Down Approach (Recommended)
1. **Weekly Chart** - Identify major trend and phase
2. **Daily Chart** - Find current accumulation/distribution
3. **4H Chart** - Identify entry timing
4. **Entry Timeframe** - Execute trade
### Example Analysis:
**Weekly:** Phase E Markup (bullish)
**Daily:** Phase B Re-accumulation
**4-Hour:** Spring detected
**Action:** Buy on daily LPS

## TROUBLESHOOTING
### Issue: Too Many Labels
**Solution:**
- Increase swing length (Settings → 7 or 10)
- Increase volume multipliers
- Turn off VSA labels if not needed
- Focus on major events only (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW)
### Issue: Missing Expected Events
**Solution:**
- Decrease swing length (Settings → 3)
- Decrease volume multipliers
- Turn OFF volume confirmation
- Check timeframe (use daily chart)
### Issue: False Signals
**Solution:**
- Use higher timeframe
- Wait for confirmation
- Don't trade against major trend
- Look for multiple signal convergence
### Issue: Can't See Background Colors
**Solution:**
- Check "Show Phases" is enabled
- Increase monitor brightness
- Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price)
### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly
**Solution:**
- Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
- Some symbols have poor volume data
- Forex spot pairs have no real volume
- Use futures or stock markets for best results
### Issue: No Trading Range Detected
**Solution:**
- Market may be trending strongly
- Trading range might be too small
- Wait for price to consolidate
- Not all markets have clear ranges
---
## ADVANCED TIPS
### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts
- Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause"
- Width of range × height = minimum move target
- Longer accumulation = larger markup
### 2. Watch for Absorption
- High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing
- In downtrend = accumulation
- In uptrend = distribution
### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs
- Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong
- Increases probability significantly
### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too
- Failed spring = weakness, expect lower
- Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher
### 5. Context is King
- Don't buy during Phase E Markdown
- Don't sell during Phase E Markup
- Respect the major trend
### 6. Volume Precedes Price
- Study volume changes first
- Price follows volume
- Decreasing volume in range = building energy
### 7. Composite Operator Mindset
- Think like institutions
- Where would smart money buy/sell?
- They need liquidity (retail traders)
---
## RISK MANAGEMENT
### Position Sizing
**Conservative:**
- Risk 1% per trade
- Wider stops at range boundaries
**Moderate:**
- Risk 1-2% per trade
- Stops below spring/above UTAD
**Aggressive:**
- Risk 2-3% per trade
- Tight stops
- Higher win rate needed
### Stop Loss Placement
**Accumulation:**
- Below spring low
- Below trading range bottom
- Below demand zone
**Distribution:**
- Above UTAD high
- Above trading range top
- Above supply zone
### Take Profit Strategy
**Method 1: Measured Move**
- Range height = minimum target
- 2x range height = extended target
**Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions**
- 1.0 = range height
- 1.618 = extended target
- 2.618 = maximum target
**Method 3: Trail the Stop**
- Move stop to breakeven at 1R
- Trail under swing lows in markup
- Lock in profits progressively
---

## COMPOSITE OPERATOR PSYCHOLOGY
### What Smart Money Does (Follow Them)
**Accumulation:**
```
1. Create fear (PS, SC)
2. Shake out weak hands (Spring)
3. Absorb supply quietly (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining supply (Test)
5. Mark it up (SOS → Phase E)
💰 They buy LOW when retail panics
```
**Distribution:**
```
1. Create euphoria (PSY, BC)
2. Trap late buyers (UTAD)
3. Distribute to buyers (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining demand (ST)
5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E)
💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys
```
### Where to Look for Smart Money
```
💰 Buy signals appear at:
- Demand zones (green boxes)
- Springs and shakeouts
- Tests of support
- After selling climax
💰 Sell signals appear at:
- Supply zones (red boxes)
- UTAD and upthrusts
- Weak rallies (LPSY)
- After buying climax
```

## PRACTICE EXERCISES
### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase
Look at any chart and ask:
1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely)
2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A)
3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C)
4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D)
5. Is trend running? (Phase E)
### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis
For each bar, note:
- Volume level (High/Normal/Low)
- Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow)
- Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?)
### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs
Go back 6 months:
- Mark all springs you can find
- Note the setup before each
- Track what happened after
- Calculate win rate

[SM-021] Gaussian Trend System [Optimized]This script is a comprehensive trend-following strategy centered around a Gaussian Channel. It is designed to capture significant market movements while filtering out noise during consolidation phases. This version (v2) introduces code optimizations using Pine Script v6 Arrays and a new Intraday Time Control feature.
1. Core Methodology & Math
The foundation of this strategy is the Gaussian Filter, originally conceptualized by @DonovanWall.
Gaussian Poles: Unlike standard moving averages (SMA/EMA), this filter uses "poles" (referencing signal processing logic) to reduce lag while maintaining smoothness.
Array Optimization: In this specific iteration, the f_pole function has been refactored to utilize Pine Script Arrays. This improves calculation efficiency and rendering speed compared to recursive variable calls, especially when calculating deep historical data.
Channel Logic: The strategy calculates a "Filtered True Range" to create High and Low bands around the main Gaussian line.
Long Entry: Price closes above the High Band.
Short Entry: Price closes below the Low Band.
2. Signal Filtering (Confluence)
To reduce false signals common in trend-following systems, the strategy employs a "confluence" approach using three additional layers:
Baseline Filter: A 200-period (customizable) EMA or SMA acts as a regime filter. Longs are only taken above the baseline; Shorts only below.
ADX Filter (Volatility): The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to measure trend strength. If the ADX is below a user-defined threshold (default: 20), the market is considered "choppy," and new entries are blocked.
Momentum Check: A Stochastic RSI check ensures that momentum aligns with the breakout direction.
3. NEW: Intraday Session Filter
Per user requests, a time-based filter has been added to restrict trading activity to specific market sessions (e.g., the New York Open).
How it works: Users can toggle a checkbox to enable/disable the filter.
Configuration: You can define a specific time range (Default: 09:30 - 16:00) and a specific Timezone (Default: New York).
Logic: The strategy longCondition and shortCondition now check if the current bar's timestamp falls within this window. If outside the window, no new entries are generated, though existing trades are managed normally.
4. Risk Management
The strategy relies on volatility-based exits rather than fixed percentage stops:
ATR Stop Loss: A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) is calculated at the moment of entry to set a dynamic Stop Loss.
ATR Take Profit: An optional Reward-to-Risk (RR) ratio can be set to place a Take Profit target relative to the Stop Loss distance.
Band Exit: If the trend reverses and price crosses the opposite band, the trade is closed immediately to prevent large drawdowns.

DISCLAIMER
This is a technical analysis tool, not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and test on a demo account first.
DarkPool FlowDarkPool Flow is a professional-grade technical analysis tool designed to align retail traders with the dominant "smart money" flow. Unlike standard moving average crossovers that often generate false signals during consolidation, this script employs a multi-layered filtering engine to isolate high-probability trends.
The core philosophy of this indicator is that Trends are fractal. A sustainable move on a lower timeframe must be supported by momentum on a higher timeframe. By comparing a "Fast Signal Trend" against a "Slow Anchor Trend" (e.g., Daily vs. Weekly), the script identifies the market bias used by institutional algorithms.
This edition features a Smart Recovery Engine, ensuring that valid trends are not missed simply because momentum started slowly, and a Dynamic Cloud that visually represents the strength of the trend spread.
Key Features
1. Auto-Adaptive Timeframe Logic
The script eliminates the guesswork of Multi-Timeframe (MTF) selection. By enabling "Auto-Adapt," the indicator detects your current chart timeframe and automatically maps it to the mathematically correct institutional pairings:
Scalping (<15m): Uses 15-Minute Trend vs. 1-Hour Anchor.
Day Trading (15m - 1H): Uses 4-Hour Trend vs. Daily Anchor.
Swing Trading (4H - Daily): Uses Daily Trend vs. Weekly Anchor (The classic "Golden" setup).
Investing (Weekly): Uses 21-Week EMA vs. 50-Week SMA (Bull Market Support Band logic).
2. Smart Recovery Signal Engine
Standard crossover scripts often miss major moves if the specific breakout candle has low volume or weak ADX. This script utilizes a state-machine logic that "remembers" the trend direction. If a trend begins during low volatility (gray candles), the script waits. The moment volatility and momentum confirm the move, a Smart Recovery Signal is triggered, allowing you to enter an existing trend safely.
3. Chop Protection (Gray Candles)
Preservation of capital is the priority. The script analyzes the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Volatility (ATR).
Colored Candles (Green/Red): The market is trending with sufficient strength. Trading is permitted.
Gray Candles: The market is in a low-energy chop or consolidation (ADX < 20). Trading is discouraged.
4. Dynamic Trend Cloud
The space between the Fast and Slow trends is filled with a dynamic cloud.
Darker/Opaque Cloud: Indicates a widening spread, suggesting accelerating momentum.
Lighter/Transparent Cloud: Indicates a narrowing spread, suggesting the trend may be weakening or consolidating.
5. Pullback & Retest Signals (+)
While triangles mark the start of a trend, the Plus (+) signs mark low-risk opportunities to add to a position. These appear when price dips into the cloud, finds support at the "Fair Value" zone, and closes back in the direction of the trend with confirmed momentum.
User Guide & Strategy
Setup
Add the indicator to your chart.
For Beginners: Enable "Auto-Adaptive Timeframes" in the settings.
For Advanced Users: Disable Auto-Adapt and manually configure your Fast/Slow pairings (Default is Daily 50 EMA / Weekly 50 EMA).
Signal Mode: Choose "First Breakout Only" for a cleaner chart, or "All Signals" if you wish to see re-entry points during choppy starts.
Long Entry Criteria (Buy)
Trend: The Cloud must be Green (Fast Trend > Slow Trend).
Signal: A Green Triangle appears below the bar.
Confirmation: The signal candle must not be Gray.
Re-Entry: A small Green (+) sign appears, indicating a successful test of the cloud support.
Short Entry Criteria (Sell)
Trend: The Cloud must be Red (Fast Trend < Slow Trend).
Signal: A Red Triangle appears above the bar.
Confirmation: The signal candle must not be Gray.
Re-Entry: A small Red (+) sign appears, indicating a successful test of the cloud resistance.
Stop Loss & Risk Management
Stop Loss: A standard institutional stop loss is placed just beyond the Slow Trend Line (the outer edge of the cloud). If price closes beyond the Slow Trend, the macro thesis is invalid.
Take Profit: Target liquidity pools or use a trailing stop based on the Fast Trend line.
Settings Overview
Mode Selection: Toggle between Auto-Adaptive logic or Manual control.
Manual Configuration: Define the specific Timeframe, Length, and Type (EMA, SMA, WMA) for both Fast and Slow trends.
Signal Logic: Toggle "Show Pullback Signals" on/off. Switch between "First Breakout" or "All Signals."
Quality Filters: Toggle individual filters (ATR, RSI, ADX) to adjust sensitivity. Turning these off makes the script more responsive but increases false signals.
Visual Style: Customize colors for Bullish, Bearish, and Neutral (Gray) states. Adjust cloud transparency.

EMA 12-26-100 Momentum Strategy# Triple EMA Multi-Signal Momentum Strategy
## 📊 Overview
**Triple EMA Multi-Signal** is a comprehensive trend-following momentum strategy designed specifically for cryptocurrency markets. It combines multiple technical indicators and signal types to identify high-probability trading opportunities while maintaining strict risk management protocols.
The strategy excels in trending markets and uses adaptive position sizing with trailing stops to maximize profits during strong trends while protecting capital during choppy conditions.
## 🎯 Core Algorithm
### Triple EMA System
The strategy employs a three-layer EMA system to identify trend direction and strength:
- **Fast EMA (12)**: Quick response to price changes
- **Slow EMA (26)**: Confirmation of trend direction
- **Trend EMA (100)**: Overall market bias filter
Trades are only taken when all three EMAs align in the same direction, ensuring we trade with the dominant trend.
### Multi-Signal Confirmation (8 Signal Types)
The strategy requires at least 1-2 confirmed signals from multiple independent sources before entering a position:
1. **EMA Crossover** - Fast EMA crossing Slow EMA (primary signal)
2. **MACD Cross** - MACD line crossing signal line (momentum confirmation)
3. **RSI Reversal** - RSI bouncing from oversold/overbought zones
4. **Price Action** - Strong bullish/bearish candles (>60% of range)
5. **Volume Spike** - Above-average volume confirmation
6. **Breakout** - Price breaking 20-period high/low with volume
7. **Pullback to EMA** - Trend continuation after healthy retracement
8. **Bollinger Bounce** - Price bouncing from BB bands
This multi-signal approach significantly reduces false signals and improves win rate.

Scout Regiment - KSI# Scout Regiment - KSI Indicator
## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - KSI (Key Stochastic Indicators) is a comprehensive momentum oscillator that combines three powerful technical indicators - RSI, CCI, and Williams %R - into a single, unified display. This multi-indicator approach provides traders with diverse perspectives on market momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversal points through advanced divergence detection.
### What is KSI?
KSI stands for "Key Stochastic Indicators" - a composite momentum indicator that:
- Displays multiple oscillators normalized to a 0-100 scale

- **Data Source**: Price source (default: close)
### How to Use
#### For Basic Momentum Trading
1. **Enable RSI Only** (primary indicator)
- Focus on 50-level crossovers
- Enable crossover labels for signals
2. **Identify Momentum Direction**
- RSI > 50 = Bullish momentum
- RSI < 50 = Bearish momentum
- Background color confirms direction
3. **Look for Extremes**
- RSI > 80 = Overbought (consider selling)
- RSI < 20 = Oversold (consider buying)
4. **Trade Setup**
- Enter long when RSI crosses above 50 from oversold
- Enter short when RSI crosses below 50 from overbought
#### For Divergence Trading
1. **Enable RSI with Divergence Detection**
- Turn on regular divergence
- Optionally add hidden divergence
2. **Wait for Divergence Signal**
- Yellow label = Bullish divergence
- Blue label = Bearish divergence
3. **Confirm with Price Structure**
- Wait for support/resistance break
- Look for candlestick patterns
- Check volume confirmation
4. **Enter Position**
- Enter after confirmation
- Stop beyond divergence pivot
- Target next key level
#### For Multi-Oscillator Confirmation
1. **Enable All Three Indicators**
- RSI (momentum)
- CCI dual (cycle analysis)
- Williams %R (extremes)
2. **Look for Alignment**
- All above 50 = Strong bullish
- All below 50 = Strong bearish
- Mixed signals = Consolidation
3. **Identify Extremes**
- All indicators > 80 = Extreme overbought
- All indicators < 20 = Extreme oversold
4. **Trade Reversals**
- Enter counter-trend when all aligned at extremes
- Confirm with divergence if available
- Use tight stops
#### For CCI Dual-Period Analysis
1. **Enable Both CCI Lines**
- CCI(33) = Short-term
- CCI(77) = Medium-term
2. **Watch for Crossovers**
- Green crosses above orange = Bullish acceleration
- Green crosses below orange = Bearish acceleration
3. **Analyze Divergence Between Periods**
- Short-term rising, medium falling = Potential reversal
- Both rising together = Strong trend
4. **Trade Accordingly**
- Follow crossover direction
- Exit when lines converge

### Best Practices
#### Choosing Which Indicators to Display
**For Beginners:**
- Use RSI only
- Enable background color and labels
- Focus on 50-level crossovers
- Simple and effective
**For Intermediate Traders:**
- RSI + Regular Divergence
- Add CCI for confirmation
- Use dual perspectives
- Better accuracy
**For Advanced Traders:**
- All three indicators
- Full divergence detection
- Multi-timeframe analysis
- Maximum information
#### Oscillator Priority
**Primary**: RSI (22)
- Most reliable
- Best divergence detection
- Good for all timeframes
- Use this as your main decision maker
**Secondary**: CCI (33/77)
- Adds cycle analysis
- Great for confirmation
- Dual-period crossovers valuable
- Use to confirm RSI signals
**Tertiary**: Williams %R (28)
- Extreme readings useful
- More volatile
- Best for short-term
- Use sparingly for extra confirmation
#### Timeframe Considerations
**Lower Timeframes (1m-15m):**
- More signals, less reliable
- Use tight divergence parameters
- Focus on RSI crossovers
- Quick entries and exits
**Medium Timeframes (30m-4H):**
- Balanced signal frequency
- Default settings work well
- Best for divergence trading
- Swing trading optimal
**Higher Timeframes (Daily+):**
- Fewer but stronger signals
- Widen divergence ranges
- All indicators more reliable
- Position trading best
#### Divergence Trading Tips
1. **Wait for Confirmation**
- Divergence alone isn't enough
- Need price structure break
- Volume helps validate
2. **Best at Extremes**
- Divergences near 80/20 levels most reliable
- Mid-level divergences often fail
- Combine with support/resistance
3. **Multiple Divergences**
- Second divergence stronger than first
- Third divergence extremely powerful
- Watch for "triple divergence"
4. **Timeframe Alignment**
- Check higher timeframe for direction
- Trade divergences in direction of larger trend
- Counter-trend divergences riskier
### Indicator Combinations
**With Moving Averages:**
- Use EMAs (21/55/144) for trend
- KSI for entry timing
- Enter when both align
**With Volume:**
- Volume confirms breakouts
- Divergence + volume divergence = Stronger
- Low volume at extremes = Reversal likely
**With Support/Resistance:**
- Price levels for targets
- KSI for entry timing
- Divergences at levels = Highest probability
**With Bias Indicator:**
- Bias shows price deviation
- KSI shows momentum
- Both diverging = Strong reversal signal
**With OBV Indicator:**
- OBV shows volume trend
- KSI shows price momentum
- Volume/momentum divergence powerful
### Common Patterns
1. **Bullish Reversal**: All oscillators oversold + RSI bullish divergence
2. **Bearish Reversal**: All oscillators overbought + RSI bearish divergence
3. **Trend Acceleration**: RSI > 50, both CCIs rising, Williams %R not extreme
4. **Weakening Trend**: RSI declining while price rising (pre-divergence warning)
5. **Strong Trend**: All oscillators stay above/below 50 for extended period
6. **Consolidation**: Oscillators crossing 50 frequently without extremes
7. **Exhaustion**: Multiple oscillators at extreme + hidden divergence failure
### Performance Tips
- Start simple: RSI only
- Add indicators gradually as you learn
- Disable unused features for cleaner charts
- Use labels strategically (not always on)
- Test different RSI lengths for your market
- Adjust divergence parameters based on volatility
### Alert Conditions
The indicator includes alerts for:
- RSI crossing above 50
- RSI crossing below 50
- RSI regular bullish divergence
- RSI regular bearish divergence
- RSI hidden bullish divergence
- RSI hidden bearish divergence

Scout Regiment - OBV# Scout Regiment - OBV Indicator
## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - OBV (On-Balance Volume) is an advanced momentum indicator that combines volume and price movement to identify the strength of buying and selling pressure. This indicator features an oscillator-based approach with divergence detection to help traders spot potential trend reversals and confirm price movements.
### What is OBV?
On-Balance Volume (OBV) is a cumulative volume indicator that adds volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days:
- **Rising OBV**: Accumulation (buying pressure)
- **Falling OBV**: Distribution (selling pressure)
- **OBV Oscillator**: The difference between OBV and its smoothed moving average, making divergences easier to spot
### Key Features
#### 1. **OBV Oscillator Display**
Instead of displaying raw OBV values, this indicator shows the oscillator (difference between OBV and its smoothed line):
**Benefits:**
- Easier to identify divergences
- Clearer trend changes
- More sensitive to momentum shifts
- Zero line as reference point
**Visual Elements:**
- **Step Line**: Main OBV oscillator line
- Green: Positive oscillator (accumulation)
- Red: Negative oscillator (distribution)
- **Histogram**: Visual representation of oscillator strength
- Green bars: Above zero line
- Red bars: Below zero line
- **Zero Line**: White dotted horizontal line as reference
#### 2. **Smoothing Options**
Choose from multiple moving average types to smooth the OBV:
- **None**: Raw OBV (most sensitive)
- **SMA**: Simple Moving Average (equal weight)
- **EMA**: Exponential Moving Average (recent price emphasis) - Default
- **SMMA (RMA)**: Smoothed Moving Average (very smooth)
- **WMA**: Weighted Moving Average (linear weight)
- **VWMA**: Volume Weighted Moving Average (volume emphasis)
**Default Settings:**
- Type: EMA
- Length: 21 periods
- Best for: Most market conditions
#### 3. **Multi-Timeframe Analysis**
- Calculate OBV on any timeframe
- View higher timeframe momentum on lower timeframe charts
- Align trades with larger timeframe volume trends
- Empty field = Current chart timeframe
#### 4. **Visual Enhancements**
**Background Color**
- Light green: Positive oscillator (bullish volume pressure)
- Light red: Negative oscillator (bearish volume pressure)
- Optional display for cleaner charts
**Crossover Labels**
- "突破" (Breakout): When oscillator crosses above zero
- "跌破" (Breakdown): When oscillator crosses below zero
- Indicates potential trend changes
- Can be toggled on/off
#### 5. **Comprehensive Divergence Detection**
The indicator automatically detects four types of divergences:
**Regular Bullish Divergence (Yellow)**
- **Price**: Makes lower lows
- **OBV**: Makes higher lows
- **Signal**: Potential upward reversal
- **Label**: "看涨" (Bullish)
- **Use**: Enter long positions
**Regular Bearish Divergence (Blue)**
- **Price**: Makes higher highs
- **OBV**: Makes lower highs
- **Signal**: Potential downward reversal
- **Label**: "看跌" (Bearish)
- **Use**: Enter short positions or exit longs
**Hidden Bullish Divergence (Light Yellow)**
- **Price**: Makes higher lows
- **OBV**: Makes lower lows
- **Signal**: Trend continuation (uptrend)
- **Label**: "隐藏看涨" (Hidden Bullish)
- **Use**: Add to long positions
**Hidden Bearish Divergence (Light Blue)**
- **Price**: Makes lower highs
- **OBV**: Makes higher highs
- **Signal**: Trend continuation (downtrend)

2. **Confirm with OBV Oscillator**
- Strong uptrend: OBV oscillator staying positive
- Strong downtrend: OBV oscillator staying negative
- Weak trend: OBV oscillator frequently crossing zero
3. **Volume Confirmation**
- Trend with increasing OBV = Strong trend
- Trend with decreasing OBV = Weak trend (watch for reversal)
#### For Divergence Trading
1. **Enable Divergence Detection**
- Start with regular divergences only

### Trading Strategies
#### Strategy 1: Regular Divergence Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Price in strong trend (up or down)
2. Regular divergence appears
3. Price reaches support/resistance level
**Entry:**
- Bullish: After "看涨" label, when price breaks above recent high
- Bearish: After "看跌" label, when price breaks below recent low
**Stop Loss:**
- Bullish: Below divergence low
- Bearish: Above divergence high
**Exit:**
- Take profit at next major support/resistance
- Or when opposite divergence appears
**Best For:** Swing trading, reversal trading
#### Strategy 2: Hidden Divergence Continuation
**Setup:**
1. Clear trend established
2. Price pulls back (retracement)
3. Hidden divergence appears
**Entry:**
- Bullish: After "隐藏看涨" label, when price resumes uptrend
- Bearish: After "隐藏看跌" label, when price resumes downtrend
**Stop Loss:**
- Behind the pullback swing point
**Exit:**
- Trail stop as trend continues
- Exit on regular divergence (reversal signal)
**Best For:** Trend following, adding to positions
#### Strategy 3: Zero Line Crossover
**Setup:**
1. Enable crossover labels
2. Oscillator crosses zero line
3. Confirm with price structure break
**Entry:**
- "突破" label = Buy signal
- "跌破" label = Sell signal
**Stop Loss:**
- Below/above recent swing
**Exit:**
- When oscillator crosses back over zero
- Or at predetermined target
**Best For:** Momentum trading, quick trades
#### Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Confluence
**Setup:**
1. Set indicator to higher timeframe (e.g., 4H on 1H chart)
2. Wait for higher TF oscillator to be positive (uptrend) or negative (downtrend)
3. Look for entries on current timeframe aligned with higher TF
**Entry:**
- Long: When both timeframes show positive oscillator or bullish divergence
- Short: When both timeframes show negative oscillator or bearish divergence
**Stop Loss:**
- Based on current timeframe structure
**Exit:**
- When higher timeframe oscillator turns negative (for longs) or positive (for shorts)
**Best For:** Swing trading, high-probability setups
### Best Practices
#### Volume Analysis
1. **Strong Moves Need Volume**
- Price increase + Rising OBV = Healthy uptrend
- Price increase + Falling OBV = Weak uptrend (warning)
2. **Watch for Confirmation**
- New highs with new OBV highs = Confirmed
- New highs without new OBV highs = Potential divergence
3. **Consider Context**
- Low volume periods (Asian session, holidays) = Less reliable
- High volume periods (News, London/NY overlap) = More reliable
#### Divergence Trading Tips
1. **Not All Divergences Work**
- Wait for price confirmation
- Stronger in oversold/overbought areas
- Better at support/resistance levels
2. **Multiple Divergences**
- Multiple divergences on same trend = Stronger signal
- Quick divergence failures = Ignore and wait for next
3. **Timeframe Matters**
- Higher timeframe divergences = More reliable
- Lower timeframe divergences = More frequent, less reliable
#### Smoothing Selection
1. **No Smoothing (None)**
- Most sensitive, more signals
- More noise, more false signals
- Best for: Scalping, very active trading
2. **EMA (Default)**
- Balanced approach
- Good for most strategies
- Best for: Swing trading, day trading
3. **SMMA (RMA)**
- Very smooth, fewer signals
- Less responsive to sudden changes
- Best for: Position trading, longer timeframes
### Indicator Combinations
**With Moving Averages:**
- Use EMAs for trend direction
- OBV for volume confirmation
- Enter when both align
**With RSI:**
- RSI for overbought/oversold
- OBV for volume confirmation
- Divergences on both = Stronger signal
**With Price Action:**
- Support/resistance for levels
- OBV for strength confirmation
- Breakouts with positive OBV = More likely to succeed
**With Bias Indicator:**
- Bias for price deviation
- OBV for volume confirmation
- Both showing divergence = High probability reversal
### Common Patterns
1. **Accumulation**: OBV rising while price consolidates (breakout likely)
2. **Distribution**: OBV falling while price consolidates (breakdown likely)
3. **Confirmation**: OBV and price both making new highs/lows (trend strong)
4. **Divergence**: OBV and price moving opposite directions (reversal warning)
5. **False Breakout**: Price breaks but OBV doesn't confirm (likely to fail)
### Performance Tips
- Disable unused display features for faster loading
- Start with regular divergences only, add hidden later
- Use histogram for quick visual reference
- Enable crossover labels for clear entry signals
- Test different smoothing lengths for your market

### 概述
Scout Regiment - OBV（能量潮）是一个高级动量指标，结合成交量和价格变动来识别买卖压力的强度。该指标采用振荡器方法并具有背离检测功能，帮助交易者发现潜在的趋势反转并确认价格走势。
### 什么是OBV？
能量潮（OBV）是一个累积成交量指标，在上涨日累加成交量，在下跌日减去成交量：
- **上升的OBV**：积累（买入压力）
- **下降的OBV**：派发（卖出压力）
- **OBV振荡器**：OBV与其平滑移动平均线之间的差值，使背离更容易识别
### 核心功能

- 对动量变化更敏感
- 零线作为参考点
**视觉元素：**
- **阶梯线**：主OBV振荡器线
- 绿色：正振荡器（积累）
- 红色：负振荡器（派发）
- **柱状图**：振荡器强度的可视化表示
- 绿色柱：零线以上
- 红色柱：零线以下
- **零线**：白色虚线作为参考
#### 2. **平滑选项**

### 最佳实践
#### 成交量分析
1. **强势波动需要成交量**
- 价格上涨 + 上升的OBV = 健康上升趋势
- 价格上涨 + 下降的OBV = 弱上升趋势（警告）
2. **注意确认**
- 新高伴随新OBV高点 = 已确认
- 新高没有新OBV高点 = 潜在背离
3. **考虑背景**
- 低成交量期（亚洲时段、假期）= 可靠性较低
- 高成交量期（新闻、伦敦/纽约重叠）= 更可靠
#### 背离交易技巧
1. **不是所有背离都有效**
- 等待价格确认
- 在超卖/超买区域更强
- 在支撑/阻力水平更好
2. **多重背离**
- 同一趋势上多个背离 = 更强信号
- 背离快速失败 = 忽略并等待下一个
3. **时间框架重要**
- 更高时间框架背离 = 更可靠
- 更低时间框架背离 = 更频繁，可靠性较低
#### 平滑选择
1. **无平滑（None）**
- 最敏感，更多信号
- 更多噪音，更多假信号
- 适合：剥头皮、非常活跃的交易
2. **EMA（默认）**
- 平衡方法
- 适合大多数策略
- 适合：波段交易、日内交易
3. **SMMA (RMA)**
- 非常平滑，更少信号
- 对突然变化响应较慢
- 适合：仓位交易、更长时间框架
### 指标组合
**与移动平均线配合：**
- 使用EMA确定趋势方向
- OBV确认成交量
- 两者一致时进入
**与RSI配合：**
- RSI用于超买超卖
- OBV用于成交量确认
- 两者都背离 = 更强信号
**与价格行为配合：**
- 支撑/阻力确定水平
- OBV确认强度
- 正OBV的突破 = 更可能成功
**与Bias指标配合：**
- Bias用于价格偏离
- OBV用于成交量确认
- 两者都显示背离 = 高概率反转
### 常见形态
1. **积累**：OBV上升而价格盘整（突破可能）
2. **派发**：OBV下降而价格盘整（跌破可能）
3. **确认**：OBV和价格都创新高/新低（趋势强劲）
4. **背离**：OBV和价格反向移动（反转警告）
5. **假突破**：价格突破但OBV不确认（可能失败）

AMF PG Strategy v2.3AMF PG Strategy v2.3
1. Core Philosophy: Filtered and Volatility-Aware Trend Following
"AMF PG Strategy" is an advanced trend-following system designed to adapt to the dynamic nature of modern markets. The strategy's core philosophy is not just to follow the trend but also to wait for the right conditions to enter the market.
This is not a "black box." It is a rules-based framework that gives the user full control over various market filters. By requiring multiple conditions to be met simultaneously, the strategy aims to filter out low-quality signals and focus only on high-probability trend opportunities.
2. Core Engine: AMF PG Trend Following
At the heart of the strategy is a proprietary, volatility-aware trend-following mechanism called AMF PG (Praetorian Guard). This engine operates as follows:
Dynamic Bands: Creates a dynamic upper and lower band around the price that is constantly recalculated. The width of these bands is not fixed; It dynamically adjusts based on recent market volatility, volume flow, and price expansion. This adaptive structure allows the strategy to adapt to both calm and high-volatility markets.
Entry Signals: A buy signal is triggered when the price rises above the upper band. A sell signal is triggered when the price falls below the lower band. However, these signals are executed only when all the active filters described below give the green light.
Trailing Stop-Loss: When a position is entered, the opposite band automatically acts as a trailing stop-loss level. For example, when a buy position is opened, the lower band follows the price as a stop-loss. This allows for profit retention and trend continuation.
3. Multi-Layered Filter System: Understanding the Market
The power of this strategy comes from its modular filter system, which allows the user to filter market conditions based on their own analysis. Each filter can be enabled or disabled individually in the settings:
Filter 1: Trend Strength (ADX Filter): This filter confirms whether there is a strong trend in the market. It uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) indicator and only allows trades if the ADX value is above a certain threshold. This helps avoid trading in weak or directionless markets. It also confirms the direction of the trend by checking the position of the DMI (+DI and -DI) lines.
Filter 2: Sideways Market (Chop Index Filter): This filter determines whether the market is excessively choppy or directionless. Using the Chop Index, this filter aims to protect against fakeouts by blocking trades when the market is highly indecisive.
Filter 3: Market Structure (Hurst Exponent Filter): This is one of the strategy's most advanced filters. It analyzes the current market behavior using the Hurst Exponent. This mathematical tool attempts to determine whether a market tends to trend (permanent), tends to revert to the mean (anti-permanent), or moves randomly. This filter ensures that signals are generated only when market structure supports trending trades.
4. Risk Management: Maximum Drawdown Protection
This strategy includes a built-in capital protection mechanism. Users can specify the percentage of their capital they will tolerate to decline from its peak. If the strategy's capital reaches this set drawdown limit, the protection feature is activated, closing all open positions and preventing new trades from being opened. This acts as an emergency brake to protect capital against unexpected market conditions.
5. Automation Ready: Customizable Webhook Alerts
The strategy is designed for traders who want to automate their signals. From the Settings menu, you can configure custom alert messages in JSON format, compatible with third-party automation services (via Webhooks).
6. Strategy Backtest Information
Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results. The published chart and performance report were generated on the 4-hour timeframe of the BTCUSD pair with the following settings:
Test Period: January 1, 2016 - October 31, 2025
Default Position Size: 15% of Capital
Pyramiding: Closed
Commission: 0.0008
Slippage: 2 ticks (Please enter the slippage you used in your own tests)
Testing Approach: The published test includes 423 trades and is statistically significant. It is strongly recommended that you test on different assets and timeframes for your own analysis. The default settings are a template and should be adjusted by the user for their own analysis.

Estrategia Cava - IndicadorSimplified Criteria of the Cava Strategy
Below is the logic behind the Cava strategy, broken down into conditions for a buy operation:
Variables and Necessary Data
EMA 55: 55-period Exponential Moving Average.
MACD: Two lines (MACD Line and Signal Line) and the histogram.
RSI: Relative Strength Index.
Stochastic: Two lines (%K and %D).
Closing Price: The closing price of the current period.
Previous Closing Price: The closing price of the previous period.
Entry Logic (Buy Operation)
Trend Condition (EMA 55):
The price must be above the EMA 55.
The EMA 55 must have a positive slope (or at least not a negative one). This can be checked if the current EMA 55 is greater than the previous period's EMA 55.
Momentum Conditions (Oscillators):
MACD: The MACD line must have crossed above the signal line. For a strong signal, this cross should occur near or above the zero line.
RSI: The RSI must have exited the "oversold" zone (generally below 30) and be rising.
Stochastic: The Stochastic must have crossed upwards from the "oversold" zone (generally below 20).
Confirmation Condition (Price):
The current closing price must be higher than the previous closing price. This confirms the strength of the signal.
Position Management (Exit)
Take Profit: An exit can be programmed at a predetermined price target (e.g., the next resistance level) or when the momentum of the move begins to decrease.
Stop Loss: A stop loss should be placed below a significant support level or the entry point to limit losses in case the trade does not evolve as expected. The Cava strategy focuses on dynamic stop-loss management, moving it in the trader's favor as the price moves.
In summary, the strategy is a filtering system. If all conditions are met, the trade is considered high probability. If only some are met, the signal is discarded, and you wait for the next one. It's crucial to understand that discipline and risk management are just as important as the indicators themselves.

It is not an automated execution system; rather, it aggregates lightweight “quantum” signals — VWAP position, momentum oscillator behaviour, multi-EMA trend scoring, volume flow and institutional activity heuristics, market microstructure pivots and volatility measures — and synthesizes them into a single, transparent score and signal recommendation. The primary goal is to make explicit why a given market looks favourable or unfavourable by showing the individual ingredients and how they combine, enabling traders to learn, test and form rules based on observable market mechanics.
Each module of the matrix answers a distinct market question. VWAP and its percentage distance indicate whether the current price is trading above or below the intraday volume-weighted average — a proxy for intraday institutional control and value. The quantum momentum oscillator (fast and slow EMA difference scaled to percent) captures short-to-intermediate momentum shifts, providing a quickly responsive view of directional pressure. Multi-EMA trend scoring (8/21/50) produces a simple, transparent trend score by counting conditions such as price above EMAs and cross-EMAs ordering; this score is used to categorize market trend into descriptive buckets (e.g., STRONG UP, WEAK UP, NEUTRAL, DOWN). Volume analysis compares current volume to a recent moving average and computes a Z-score to detect spikes and unusual participation; additional buy/sell pressure heuristics (buyingPressure, sellingPressure, flowRatio) estimate whether upside or downside participation dominates the bar. Institutional activity is approximated by flagging large orders relative to volume baseline (e.g., volume > 2.5× MA) and estimating a dark pool proxy; this is a heuristic to highlight bars that likely had large players involved.
The dashboard also performs market-structure detection with small pivot windows to identify recent local support/resistance areas and computes price position relative to the daily high/low (dailyMid, pricePosition). Volatility is measured via ATR divided by price and bucketed into LOW/NORMAL/HIGH/EXTREME categories to help you adapt stop sizing and expectational horizons. Finally, all these pieces feed an interpretable scoring function that rewards alignment: VWAP above, strong flow ratio, bullish trend score, bullish momentum, and favorable RSI zone add to the overall score which is presented as a 0–100 metric and a colored emoji indicator for at-a-glance assessment.
The mashup is purposeful: each indicator covers a failure mode of the other. For example, momentum readings can be misleading during volatility spikes; VWAP informs whether institutions are on the bid or offer; volume Z-score detects abnormal participation that can validate a breakout; multi-EMA score mitigates single-EMA whipsaws by requiring a combination of price/EMA conditions. Combining these signals increases information content while keeping each component explainable — a key compliance requirement. The script intentionally emphasizes transparency: when it shows a BUY/SELL/HOLD recommendation, the dashboard shows the underlying sub-components so a trader can see whether VWAP, momentum, volume, trend or structure primarily drove the score.
For practical use, adopt a clear workflow: (1) check the matrix score and read the component tiles (VWAP position, momentum, trend and volume) to understand the drivers; (2) confirm market-structure support/resistance and pricePosition relative to the daily range; (3) require at least two corroborating components (for example, VWAP ABOVE + Momentum BULLISH or Volume spike + Trend STRONG UP) before considering entries; (4) use ATR-based stops or daily pivot distance for stop placement and size positions such that the trade risks a small, pre-defined percent of capital; (5) for intraday scalps shorten holding time and tighten stops, for swing trades increase lookback lengths and require multi-timeframe (higher TF) agreement. Treat the matrix as an idea filter and replay lab: when an alert triggers, replay the bars and observe which components anticipated the move and which lagged.
Parameter tuning matters. Shortening the momentum length makes the oscillator more sensitive (useful for scalping), while lengthening it reduces noise for swing contexts. Volume profile bars and MA length should match the instrument’s liquidity — increase the MA for low-liquidity stocks to reduce false institutional flags. The trend multiplier and signal sensitivity parameters let you calibrate how aggressively the matrix counts micro evidence into the score. Always backtest parameter sets across multiple periods and instruments; run walk-forward tests and keep a simple out-of-sample validation window to reduce overfitting risk.
Limitations and failure modes are explicit: institutional flags and dark-pool estimates are heuristics and cannot substitute for true tape or broker-level order flow; volume split by price range is an approximation and will not perfectly reflect signed volume; pivot detection with small windows may miss larger structural swings; VWAP is typically intraday-centric and less meaningful across multi-day swing contexts; the score is additive and may not capture non-linear relationships between features in extreme market regimes (e.g., flash crashes, circuit breaker events, or overnight gaps). The matrix is also susceptible to false signals during major news releases when price and volume behavior dislocate from typical patterns. Users should explicitly test behavior around earnings, macro data and low-liquidity periods.
To learn with the matrix, perform these experiments: (A) collect all BUY/SELL alerts over a 6-month period and measure median outcome at 5, 20 and 60 bars; (B) require additional gating conditions (e.g., only accept BUY when flowRatio>60 and trendScore≥4) and compare expectancy; (C) vary the institutional threshold (2×, 2.5×, 3× volumeMA) to see how many true positive spikes remain; (D) perform multi-instrument tests to ensure parameters are not tuned to a single ticker. Document every test and prefer robust, slightly lower returns with clearer logic rather than tuned “optimal” results that fail out of sample.
Originality statement: This script’s originality lies in the curated combination of intraday value (VWAP), multi-EMA trend scoring, momentum percent oscillator, volume Z-score plus buy/sell flow heuristics and a compact, interpretable scoring system. The script is not a simple indicator mashup; it is a didactic ensemble specifically designed to make internal rationale visible so traders can learn how each market characteristic contributes to actionable probability. The tool’s novelty is its emphasis on interpretability — showing the exact contributing signals behind a composite score — enabling reproducible testing and educational value.
Finally, for TradingView publication, include a clear description listing the modules, a short non-technical summary of how they interact, the tunable inputs, limitations and a risk disclaimer. Remove any promotional content or external contact links. If you used trademark symbols, either provide registration details or remove them. This transparent documentation satisfies TradingView’s requirement that mashups justify their composition and teach users how to use them.
Quantum Trading Matrix — multi-factor intraday dashboard (educational use only).
Purpose: Combines intraday VWAP position, a fast/slow EMA momentum percent oscillator, multi-EMA trend scoring (8/21/50), volume Z-score and buy/sell flow heuristics, pivot-based microstructure detection, and ATR-based volatility buckets to produce a transparent, componentized market score and trade-idea indicator. The mashup is intentional: VWAP identifies intraday value, momentum detects short bursts, EMAs provide structural trend bias, and volume/flow confirm participation. Signals require alignment of at least two components (for example, VWAP ABOVE + Momentum BULLISH + positive flow) for higher confidence.
Inputs: momentum period, volume MA/profile length, EMA configuration (8/21/50), trend multiplier, signal sensitivity, color and display options. Use shorter momentum lengths for scalps and longer for swing analysis. Increase volume MA for thinly traded instruments.
Limitations: Institutional/dark-pool estimates and flow heuristics are approximations, not actual exchange tape. VWAP is intraday-focused. Expect false signals during major news or low-liquidity sessions. Backtest and paper-trade before applying real capital.

Bullish Breakaway Dual Session-Publish-Consolidated FVG
Inspired by the FVG Concept:
This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
Bullish consolidated FVG & Bullish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday low is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bullish breakaway candle, which must have its low above the high of the intraday low candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low). Then it will use this candle as an anchor to search for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. breakaways until the session ends.
Session Reset: Occurs at session close.
Repaint Behavior:
If a new intraday (or intra-session) low forms, earlier breakaway patterns are wiped, and the system restarts from the new low.
Counter:
A session-based counter at the top of the chart displays how many bullish consolidated FVGs have formed.
Settings
• Session Setup:
Choose ETH, RTH, or custom session. The indicator is designed for CME futures in New York timezone, but can be adjusted for other markets.
If nothing appears on your chart, check if you loaded it during an inactive session (e.g., weekend/Friday night).
• Max Zones to Show:
Default = 3 (recommended). You can increase, but 3 zones are usually most useful.
• Timeframe:
Best on 1m, 5m, or 15m. (If session range is big, try higher time frame)
Usage
1. Avoid Trading in Wrong Direction
• No bullish breakaway = No long trade.
• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong downtrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal
• When a bullish breakaway appears after an intraday low, it signals a potential reversal.
• You will need adjust position sizing, watch out liquidity hunt, and place stop loss.
• Best entries of your preferred choices: (this is your own trading edge)
Retest
Breakout
Engulf
MA cross over
Whatever your favorite approach
• Reversal signal is the strongest when price stays within/above the breakaway candle’s
range. Weak if it breaks below.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Failed Trade Example:
This indicator will repaint if a new intraday session low is updated. So it is possible to have a failed trade. Here is an example from the same session in 1m chart. However, if you enter the trade later at another bullish breakaway candle signal. The loss can be mitigated by the profit.
Therefore you should use smaller position size for your 1st trade. You should also considering using 5m chart to avoid 1m bull trap. In this example, if you use 5m chart, you can totally avoid this failed trade.
If you enter the trade, you will see the intraday low is stop loss hunted. You can also see the 1st bullish breakaway candle is super weak. There are a lot of candles below the breakaway candle low, so it is very possible to fail.
In the next chart, you can see the failed traded get stop loss hunted. However you can enter another trade with huge profit to win back the loss from the 1st trade if you follow the rule.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:
1. Prevents wrong-direction trades.
2. Confirms trend entry after reversal signals.
3. Filters false positives using higher timeframes.
How to sharp your edge:
1. ⏳Extreme patience⏳: Do not guess the bottom during a downtrend before a confirmed bullish breakaway candle. If you get caught, have the courage to cut loss. This is literally the most important usage of this indicator. Again, this is the most important rule of this indicator and actually the hardest rule to follow.
2. 🛎Better Entry🛎: After a confirmed bullish breakaway, you will always have a good opportunity to enter the trade using established trading technique. Your edge will come from the position size, draw down, stop loss placement, risk/reward ratio.
3. ✂Cut loss fast✂: If you enter a trade according to the rule, but you are still not making profit for a period of time, and the price is below the low of the breakaway candle. It is very likely you may hit stop loss soon (intraday session low). It won't be a bad idea to cut loss before stop loss hit.
4. 🔂Reentry with confidence after stop loss🔂: a stop loss will not invalidate the indicator. If you see a second chance to reenter, you should still follow the trade guide and rule.
5. 🕔Time frame matter🕔: try 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m time frame. Over time, you should know what time frame work best for you and the market. Higher time frame will reduce the noise of false positive trade, but it comes with a higher stop loss placement and less max profit, however it may come with a lower draw down. Time frame will matter depending on the range of the session. If the session range is small (<0.5%), lower time frame is good. If session range is big (>1%), 5m time frame is better. Remember to wait for candle to close, if you use higher time frame.
Last Mention:
The indicator is only used for bullish side trading.
Drawdown Distribution Analysis (DDA) ACADEMIC FOUNDATION AND RESEARCH BACKGROUND
The Drawdown Distribution Analysis indicator implements quantitative risk management principles, drawing upon decades of academic research in portfolio theory, behavioral finance, and statistical risk modeling. This tool provides risk assessment capabilities for traders and portfolio managers seeking to understand their current position within historical drawdown patterns.
The theoretical foundation of this indicator rests on modern portfolio theory as established by Markowitz (1952), who introduced the fundamental concepts of risk-return optimization that continue to underpin contemporary portfolio management. Sharpe (1966) later expanded this framework by developing risk-adjusted performance measures, most notably the Sharpe ratio, which remains a cornerstone of performance evaluation in financial markets.
The specific focus on drawdown analysis builds upon the work of Chekhlov, Uryasev and Zabarankin (2005), who provided the mathematical framework for incorporating drawdown measures into portfolio optimization. Their research demonstrated that traditional mean-variance optimization often fails to capture the full risk profile of investment strategies, particularly regarding sequential losses. More recent work by Goldberg and Mahmoud (2017) has brought these theoretical concepts into practical application within institutional risk management frameworks.
Value at Risk methodology, as comprehensively outlined by Jorion (2007), provides the statistical foundation for the risk measurement components of this indicator. The coherent risk measures framework developed by Artzner et al. (1999) ensures that the risk metrics employed satisfy the mathematical properties required for sound risk management decisions. Additionally, the focus on downside risk follows the framework established by Sortino and Price (1994), while the drawdown-adjusted performance measures implement concepts introduced by Young (1991).
MATHEMATICAL METHODOLOGY
The core calculation methodology centers on a peak-tracking algorithm that continuously monitors the maximum price level achieved and calculates the percentage decline from this peak. The drawdown at any time t is defined as DD(t) = (P(t) - Peak(t)) / Peak(t) × 100, where P(t) represents the asset price at time t and Peak(t) represents the running maximum price observed up to time t.
Statistical distribution analysis forms the analytical backbone of the indicator. The system calculates key percentiles using the ta.percentile_nearest_rank() function to establish the 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 95th percentiles of the historical drawdown distribution. This approach provides a complete picture of how the current drawdown compares to historical patterns.
Statistical significance assessment employs standard deviation bands at one, two, and three standard deviations from the mean, following the conventional approach where the upper band equals μ + nσ and the lower band equals μ - nσ. The Z-score calculation, defined as Z = (DD - μ) / σ, enables the identification of statistically extreme events, with thresholds set at |Z| > 2.5 for extreme drawdowns and |Z| > 3.0 for severe drawdowns, corresponding to confidence levels exceeding 99.4% and 99.7% respectively.
ADVANCED RISK METRICS
The indicator incorporates several risk-adjusted performance measures that extend beyond basic drawdown analysis. The Sharpe ratio calculation follows the standard formula Sharpe = (R - Rf) / σ, where R represents the annualized return, Rf represents the risk-free rate, and σ represents the annualized volatility. The system supports dynamic sourcing of the risk-free rate from the US 10-year Treasury yield or allows for manual specification.
The Sortino ratio addresses the limitation of the Sharpe ratio by focusing exclusively on downside risk, calculated as Sortino = (R - Rf) / σd, where σd represents the downside deviation computed using only negative returns. This measure provides a more accurate assessment of risk-adjusted performance for strategies that exhibit asymmetric return distributions.
The Calmar ratio, defined as Annual Return divided by the absolute value of Maximum Drawdown, offers a direct measure of return per unit of drawdown risk. This metric proves particularly valuable for comparing strategies or assets with different risk profiles, as it directly relates performance to the maximum historical loss experienced.
Value at Risk calculations provide quantitative estimates of potential losses at specified confidence levels. The 95% VaR corresponds to the 5th percentile of the drawdown distribution, while the 99% VaR corresponds to the 1st percentile. Conditional VaR, also known as Expected Shortfall, estimates the average loss in the worst 5% of scenarios, providing insight into tail risk that standard VaR measures may not capture.
To enable fair comparison across assets with different volatility characteristics, the indicator calculates volatility-adjusted drawdowns using the formula Adjusted DD = Raw DD / (Volatility / 20%). This normalization allows for meaningful comparison between high-volatility assets like cryptocurrencies and lower-volatility instruments like government bonds.
The Risk Efficiency Score represents a composite measure ranging from 0 to 100 that combines the Sharpe ratio and current percentile rank to provide a single metric for quick asset assessment. Higher scores indicate superior risk-adjusted performance relative to historical patterns.
COLOR SCHEMES AND VISUALIZATION
The indicator implements eight distinct color themes designed to accommodate different analytical preferences and market contexts. The EdgeTools theme employs a corporate blue palette that matches the design system used throughout the edgetools.org platform, ensuring visual consistency across analytical tools.
The Gold theme specifically targets precious metals analysis with warm tones that complement gold chart analysis, while the Quant theme provides a grayscale scheme suitable for analytical environments that prioritize clarity over aesthetic appeal. The Behavioral theme incorporates psychology-based color coding, using green to represent greed-driven market conditions and red to indicate fear-driven environments.
Additional themes include Ocean, Fire, Matrix, and Arctic schemes, each designed for specific market conditions or user preferences. All themes function effectively with both dark and light mode trading platforms, ensuring accessibility across different user interface configurations.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Asset allocation and portfolio construction represent primary use cases for this analytical framework. When comparing multiple assets such as Bitcoin, gold, and the S&P 500, traders can examine Risk Efficiency Scores to identify instruments offering superior risk-adjusted performance. The 95% VaR provides worst-case scenario comparisons, while volatility-adjusted drawdowns enable fair comparison despite varying volatility profiles.
The practical decision framework suggests that assets with Risk Efficiency Scores above 70 may be suitable for aggressive portfolio allocations, scores between 40 and 70 indicate moderate allocation potential, and scores below 40 suggest defensive positioning or avoidance. These thresholds should be adjusted based on individual risk tolerance and market conditions.
Risk management and position sizing applications utilize the current percentile rank to guide allocation decisions. When the current drawdown ranks above the 75th percentile of historical data, indicating that current conditions are better than 75% of historical periods, position increases may be warranted. Conversely, when percentile rankings fall below the 25th percentile, indicating elevated risk conditions, position reductions become advisable.
Institutional portfolio monitoring applications include hedge fund risk dashboard implementations where multiple strategies can be monitored simultaneously. Sharpe ratio tracking identifies deteriorating risk-adjusted performance across strategies, VaR monitoring ensures portfolios remain within established risk limits, and drawdown duration tracking provides valuable information for investor reporting requirements.
Market timing applications combine the statistical analysis with trend identification techniques. Strong buy signals may emerge when risk levels register as "Low" in conjunction with established uptrends, while extreme risk levels combined with downtrends may indicate exit or hedging opportunities. Z-scores exceeding 3.0 often signal statistically oversold conditions that may precede trend reversals.
STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND VALIDATION
The indicator provides 95% confidence intervals around current drawdown levels using the standard formula CI = μ ± 1.96σ. This statistical framework enables users to assess whether current conditions fall within normal market variation or represent statistically significant departures from historical patterns.
Risk level classification employs a dynamic assessment system based on percentile ranking within the historical distribution. Low risk designation applies when current drawdowns perform better than 50% of historical data, moderate risk encompasses the 25th to 50th percentile range, high risk covers the 10th to 25th percentile range, and extreme risk applies to the worst 10% of historical drawdowns.
Sample size considerations play a crucial role in statistical reliability. For daily data, the system requires a minimum of 252 trading days (approximately one year) but performs better with 500 or more observations. Weekly data analysis benefits from at least 104 weeks (two years) of history, while monthly data requires a minimum of 60 months (five years) for reliable statistical inference.
IMPLEMENTATION BEST PRACTICES
Parameter optimization should consider the specific characteristics of different asset classes. Equity analysis typically benefits from 500-day lookback periods with 21-day smoothing, while cryptocurrency analysis may employ 365-day lookback periods with 14-day smoothing to account for higher volatility patterns. Fixed income analysis often requires longer lookback periods of 756 days with 34-day smoothing to capture the lower volatility environment.
Multi-timeframe analysis provides hierarchical risk assessment capabilities. Daily timeframe analysis supports tactical risk management decisions, weekly analysis informs strategic positioning choices, and monthly analysis guides long-term allocation decisions. This hierarchical approach ensures that risk assessment occurs at appropriate temporal scales for different investment objectives.
Integration with complementary indicators enhances the analytical framework. Trend indicators such as RSI and moving averages provide directional bias context, volume analysis helps confirm the severity of drawdown conditions, and volatility measures like VIX or ATR assist in market regime identification.
ALERT SYSTEM AND AUTOMATION
The automated alert system monitors five distinct categories of risk events. Risk level changes trigger notifications when drawdowns move between risk categories, enabling proactive risk management responses. Statistical significance alerts activate when Z-scores exceed established threshold levels of 2.5 or 3.0 standard deviations.
New maximum drawdown alerts notify users when historical maximum levels are exceeded, indicating entry into uncharted risk territory. Poor risk efficiency alerts trigger when the composite risk efficiency score falls below 30, suggesting deteriorating risk-adjusted performance. Sharpe ratio decline alerts activate when risk-adjusted performance turns negative, indicating that returns no longer compensate for the risk undertaken.
TRADING STRATEGIES
Conservative risk parity strategies can be implemented by monitoring Risk Efficiency Scores across a diversified asset portfolio. Monthly rebalancing maintains equal risk contribution from each asset, with allocation reductions triggered when risk levels reach "High" status and complete exits executed when "Extreme" risk levels emerge. This approach typically results in lower overall portfolio volatility, improved risk-adjusted returns, and reduced maximum drawdown periods.
Tactical asset rotation strategies compare Risk Efficiency Scores across different asset classes to guide allocation decisions. Assets with scores exceeding 60 receive overweight allocations, while assets scoring below 40 receive underweight positions. Percentile rankings provide timing guidance for allocation adjustments, creating a systematic approach to asset allocation that responds to changing risk-return profiles.
Market timing strategies with statistical edges can be constructed by entering positions when Z-scores fall below -2.5, indicating statistically oversold conditions, and scaling out when Z-scores exceed 2.5, suggesting overbought conditions. The 95% VaR serves as a stop-loss reference point, while trend confirmation indicators provide additional validation for position entry and exit decisions.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Several statistical limitations affect the interpretation and application of these risk measures. Historical bias represents a fundamental challenge, as past drawdown patterns may not accurately predict future risk characteristics, particularly during structural market changes or regime shifts. Sample dependence means that results can be sensitive to the selected lookback period, with shorter periods providing more responsive but potentially less stable estimates.
Market regime changes can significantly alter the statistical parameters underlying the analysis. During periods of structural market evolution, historical distributions may provide poor guidance for future expectations. Additionally, many financial assets exhibit return distributions with fat tails that deviate from normal distribution assumptions, potentially leading to underestimation of extreme event probabilities.
Practical limitations include execution risk, where theoretical signals may not translate directly into actual trading results due to factors such as slippage, timing delays, and market impact. Liquidity constraints mean that risk metrics assume perfect liquidity, which may not hold during stressed market conditions when risk management becomes most critical.
Transaction costs are not incorporated into risk-adjusted return calculations, potentially overstating the attractiveness of strategies that require frequent trading. Behavioral factors represent another limitation, as human psychology may override statistical signals, particularly during periods of extreme market stress when disciplined risk management becomes most challenging.
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
Performance optimization ensures reliable operation across different market conditions and timeframes. All technical analysis functions are extracted from conditional statements to maintain Pine Script compliance and ensure consistent execution. Memory efficiency is achieved through optimized variable scoping and array usage, while computational speed benefits from vectorized calculations where possible.
Data quality requirements include clean price data without gaps or errors that could distort distribution analysis. Sufficient historical data is essential, with a minimum of 100 bars required and 500 or more preferred for reliable statistical inference. Time alignment across related assets ensures meaningful comparison when conducting multi-asset analysis.
The configuration parameters are organized into logical groups to enhance usability. Core settings include the Distribution Analysis Period (100-2000 bars), Drawdown Smoothing Period (1-50 bars), and Price Source selection. Advanced metrics settings control risk-free rate sourcing, either from live market data or fixed rate specification, along with toggles for various risk-adjusted metric calculations.
Display options provide flexibility in visual presentation, including color theme selection from eight available schemes, automatic dark mode optimization, and control over table display, position lines, percentile bands, and standard deviation overlays. These options ensure that the indicator can be adapted to different analytical workflows and visual preferences.
CONCLUSION
The Drawdown Distribution Analysis indicator provides risk management tools for traders seeking to understand their current position within historical risk patterns. By combining established statistical methodology with practical usability features, the tool enables evidence-based risk assessment and portfolio optimization decisions.
The implementation draws upon established academic research while providing practical features that address real-world trading requirements. Dynamic risk-free rate integration ensures accurate risk-adjusted performance calculations, while multiple color schemes accommodate different analytical preferences and use cases.
Academic compliance is maintained through transparent methodology and acknowledgment of limitations. The tool implements peer-reviewed statistical techniques while clearly communicating the constraints and assumptions underlying the analysis. This approach ensures that users can make informed decisions about the appropriate application of the risk assessment framework within their broader trading and investment processes.

## How It Works
### Trade Direction Detection
The script automatically determines your trade direction:
- **Long Trade**: Entry price > Stop loss price
- **Short Trade**: Entry price < Stop loss price
### Position Size Calculation
#### For Long Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Stop Loss × (1 - Fee) - Entry Price × (1 + Fee))
```
#### For Short Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Entry Price × (1 - Fee) - Stop Loss × (1 + Fee))
```
### Fee Adjustment
The script accounts for fees on both entry and exit:
- **Long trades**: You pay fees when buying (entry) and selling (exit)
- **Short trades**: You pay fees when shorting (entry) and covering (exit)
## Output Display
The indicator displays a table with the following information:
### Trade Information
- **Trade Type**: Shows whether it's a LONG, SHORT, or INVALID trade
- **Entry Price**: Your specified entry price
- **Stop Loss**: Your specified stop loss price
- **Fee (%)**: The fee percentage being used
### Risk Parameters
- **Risk Amount**: The dollar amount you're willing to risk
- **Risk Factor**: The multiplier being applied
### Calculated Values
- **Effective Entry**: The actual cost per share including fees
- **Effective Exit**: The actual exit value per share including fees
- **Expected Loss**: The calculated loss if stop loss is hit
- **Deviation from Risk %**: Shows how close the expected loss is to your target risk
- **Position Size**: The number of shares/units to trade
## Usage Examples
### Example 1: Long Trade
- Entry Price: $100.00
- Stop Loss: $95.00
- Risk Amount: $500.00
- Risk Factor: 1.0
- Fee: 0.01%
**Result**: The script will calculate how many shares to buy so that if the stop loss is hit, you lose approximately $500 (accounting for fees). Position Size: 99.61152
### Example 2: Short Trade
- Entry Price: $50.00
- Stop Loss: $55.00
- Risk Amount: $300.00
- Risk Factor: 1.0
- Fee: 0.01%
**Result**: The script will calculate how many shares to short so that if the stop loss is hit, you lose approximately $300 (accounting for fees). Position Size: 59.87426
## Important Notes
### Validation Requirements
For the script to work properly, all of the following must be true:
- Entry price > 0
- Stop loss > 0
- Risk amount > 0
- Entry price ≠ Stop loss (to determine direction)
### Negative Position Sizes
The script may show negative position sizes, which is normal:
- **Negative values for long trades**: Represents shares to buy
- **Negative values for short trades**: Represents shares to short
### Risk Deviation
The "Deviation from Risk %" shows how closely the calculated position size matches your target risk. Small deviations are normal due to:
- Fee calculations
- Rounding
- Market precision
## Color Coding
The table uses color coding for easy identification:
- **Green**: Long trade information
- **Red**: Short trade information
- **Gray**: Invalid trade (when inputs are incorrect)
- **Blue**: Final position size
- **Red background**: Risk-related calculations
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Position Size shows 0**
- Check that all inputs are greater than 0
- Ensure entry price is different from stop loss
2. **Trade Type shows INVALID**
- Verify that entry price and stop loss are both positive
- Make sure entry price ≠ stop loss
3. **Large Risk Deviation**
- This is normal for very small position sizes
- Consider adjusting your risk amount or price levels
## Best Practices
1. **Always validate your inputs** before placing actual trades
2. **Double-check the trade direction** shown in the table
3. **Review the expected loss** to ensure it aligns with your risk management
4. **Consider the effective entry/exit prices** which include fees
5. **Use appropriate risk factors** - avoid extreme values that could lead to overexposure
## Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and planning purposes only. Always verify calculations manually and consider market conditions, liquidity, and other factors before placing actual trades. The script assumes that fees are charged on both entry and exit transactions.
Lorentzian Classification - Advanced Trading DashboardLorentzian Classification - Relativistic Market Analysis
A Journey from Theory to Trading Reality
What began as fascination with Einstein's relativity and Lorentzian geometry has evolved into a practical trading tool that bridges theoretical physics and market dynamics. This indicator represents months of wrestling with complex mathematical concepts, debugging intricate algorithms, and transforming abstract theory into actionable trading signals.
The Theoretical Foundation
Lorentzian Distance in Market Space
Traditional Euclidean distance treats all feature differences equally, but markets don't behave uniformly. Lorentzian distance, borrowed from spacetime geometry, provides a more nuanced similarity measure:
d(x,y) = Σ ln(1 + |xi - yi|)
This logarithmic formulation naturally handles:
Scale invariance: Large price moves don't overwhelm small but significant patterns
Outlier robustness: Extreme values are dampened rather than dominating
Non-linear relationships: Captures market behavior better than linear metrics
K-Nearest Neighbors with Relativistic Weighting
The algorithm searches historical market states for patterns similar to current conditions. Each neighbor receives weight inversely proportional to its Lorentzian distance:
w = 1 / (1 + distance)
This creates a "gravitational" effect where closer patterns have stronger influence on predictions.
The Implementation Challenge
Creating meaningful market features required extensive experimentation:
Price Features: Multi-timeframe momentum (1, 2, 3, 5, 8 bar lookbacks) Volume Features: Relative volume analysis against 20-period average
Volatility Features: ATR and Bollinger Band width normalization Momentum Features: RSI deviation from neutral and MACD/price ratio
Each feature undergoes min-max normalization to ensure equal weighting in distance calculations.
The Prediction Mechanism
For each current market state:
Feature Vector Construction: 12-dimensional representation of market conditions
Historical Search: Scan lookback period for similar patterns using Lorentzian distance
Neighbor Selection: Identify K nearest historical matches
Outcome Analysis: Examine what happened N bars after each match
Weighted Prediction: Combine outcomes using distance-based weights
Confidence Calculation: Measure agreement between neighbors
Technical Hurdles Overcome
Array Management: Complex indexing to prevent look-ahead bias
Distance Calculations: Optimizing nested loops for performance
Memory Constraints: Balancing lookback depth with computational limits
Signal Filtering: Preventing clustering of identical signals
Advanced Dashboard System
Main Control Panel
The primary dashboard provides real-time market intelligence:
Signal Status: Current prediction with confidence percentage
Neighbor Analysis: How many historical patterns match current conditions
Market Regime: Trend strength, volatility, and volume analysis
Temporal Context: Real-time updates with timestamp
Performance Analytics
Comprehensive tracking system monitors:
Win Rate: Percentage of successful predictions
Signal Count: Total predictions generated
Streak Analysis: Current winning/losing sequence
Drawdown Monitoring: Maximum equity decline
Sharpe Approximation: Risk-adjusted performance estimate
Risk Assessment Panel

RSI Positioning: Overbought/oversold conditions
ATR Percentage: Current volatility relative to price
Bollinger Position: Price location within volatility bands
MACD Alignment: Momentum confirmation
Confidence Heatmap
Visual representation of prediction reliability:
Historical Confidence: Last 10 periods of prediction certainty
Strength Analysis: Magnitude of prediction values over time
Pattern Recognition: Color-coded confidence levels for quick assessment
Input Parameters Deep Dive
Core Algorithm Settings
K Nearest Neighbors (1-20): More neighbors create smoother but less responsive signals. Optimal range 5-8 for most markets.
Historical Lookback (50-500): Deeper history improves pattern recognition but reduces adaptability. 100-200 bars optimal for most timeframes.
Feature Window (5-30): Longer windows capture more context but reduce sensitivity. Match to your trading timeframe.
Feature Selection
Price Changes: Essential for momentum and reversal detection Volume Profile: Critical for institutional activity recognition Volatility Measures: Key for regime change detection Momentum Indicators: Vital for trend confirmation
Signal Generation
Prediction Horizon (1-20): How far ahead to predict. Shorter horizons for scalping, longer for swing trading.
Signal Threshold (0.5-0.9): Confidence required for signal generation. Higher values reduce false signals but may miss opportunities.
Smoothing (1-10): EMA applied to raw predictions. More smoothing reduces noise but increases lag.
Visual Design Philosophy
Color Themes
Professional: Corporate blue/red for institutional environments Neon: Cyberpunk cyan/magenta for modern aesthetics
Matrix: Green/red hacker-inspired palette Classic: Traditional trading colors
Information Hierarchy
The dashboard system prioritizes information by importance:
Primary Signals: Largest, most prominent display
Confidence Metrics: Secondary but clearly visible
Supporting Data: Detailed but unobtrusive
Historical Context: Available but not distracting
Trading Applications
Signal Interpretation
Long Signals: Prediction > threshold with high confidence
Look for volume confirmation
- Check trend alignment
- Verify support levels
Short Signals: Prediction < -threshold with high confidence
Confirm with resistance levels
- Check for distribution patterns
- Verify momentum divergence
- Market Regime Adaptation
Trending Markets: Higher confidence in directional signals
Ranging Markets: Focus on reversal signals at extremes
Volatile Markets: Require higher confidence thresholds
Low Volume: Reduce position sizes, increase caution
Risk Management Integration
Confidence-Based Sizing: Larger positions for higher confidence signals
Regime-Aware Stops: Wider stops in volatile regimes
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Align signals across timeframes
Volume Confirmation: Require volume support for major signals
Originality and Innovation
This indicator represents genuine innovation in several areas:
Mathematical Approach
First application of Lorentzian geometry to market pattern recognition. Unlike Euclidean-based systems, this naturally handles market non-linearities.
Feature Engineering
Sophisticated multi-dimensional feature space combining price, volume, volatility, and momentum in normalized form.
Visualization System
Professional-grade dashboard system providing comprehensive market intelligence in intuitive format.
Performance Tracking
Real-time performance analytics typically found only in institutional trading systems.
Development Journey
Creating this indicator involved overcoming numerous technical challenges:
Mathematical Complexity: Translating theoretical concepts into practical code
Performance Optimization: Balancing accuracy with computational efficiency
User Interface Design: Making complex data accessible and actionable
Signal Quality: Filtering noise while maintaining responsiveness
The result is a tool that brings institutional-grade analytics to individual traders while maintaining the theoretical rigor of its mathematical foundation.
Best Practices
- Parameter Optimization
- Start with default settings and adjust based on:
Market Characteristics: Volatile vs. stable
Trading Timeframe: Scalping vs. swing trading
Risk Tolerance: Conservative vs. aggressive
Signal Confirmation
Never trade on Lorentzian signals alone:
Price Action: Confirm with support/resistance
Volume: Verify with volume analysis
Multiple Timeframes: Check higher timeframe alignment
Market Context: Consider overall market conditions
Risk Management
Position Sizing: Scale with confidence levels
Stop Losses: Adapt to market volatility
Profit Targets: Based on historical performance
Maximum Risk: Never exceed 2-3% per trade
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and research purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or guarantee profitable trading results. The Lorentzian classification system reveals market patterns but cannot predict future price movements with certainty. Always use proper risk management, conduct your own analysis, and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
Market dynamics are inherently uncertain, and past performance does not guarantee future results. This tool should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not as a standalone solution.
Bringing the elegance of relativistic geometry to market analysis through sophisticated pattern recognition and intuitive visualization.

BONK 1H Long Volatility StrategyGrok 1hr bonk strategy:
Key Changes and Why They’re Made
1. Indicator Adjustments
Moving Averages:
Fast MA: Changed to 5 periods (from, e.g., 9 on a higher timeframe).
Slow MA: Changed to 13 periods (from, e.g., 21).
Why: Shorter periods make the moving averages more sensitive to quick price changes on the 1-hour chart, helping identify trends faster.
ATR (Average True Range):
Length: Set to 10 periods (down from, e.g., 14).
Multiplier: Reduced to 1.5 (from, e.g., 2.0).
Why: A shorter ATR length tracks recent volatility better, and a lower multiplier lets the strategy catch smaller price swings, which are more common hourly.
RSI:
Kept at 14 periods with an overbought level of 70.
Why: RSI stays the same to filter out overbought conditions, maintaining consistency with the original strategy.
2. Entry Conditions
Trend: Requires the fast MA to be above the slow MA, ensuring a bullish direction.
Volatility: The candle’s range (high - low) must exceed 1.5 times the ATR, confirming a significant move.
Momentum: RSI must be below 70, avoiding entries at potential peaks.
Price: The close must be above the fast MA, signaling a pullback or trend continuation.
Why: These conditions are tightened to capture frequent volatility spikes while filtering out noise, which is more prevalent on a 1-hour chart.
3. Exit Strategy
Profit Target: Default is 5% (adjustable from 3-7%).
Stop-Loss: Default is 3% (adjustable from 1-5%).
Why: These levels remain conservative to lock in gains quickly and limit losses, suitable for the faster pace of a 1-hour timeframe.
4. Risk Management
The strategy may trigger more trades on a 1-hour chart. To avoid overtrading:
The ATR filter ensures only volatile moves are traded.
Trading fees (e.g., 0.5% on Coinbase) reduce the net profit to ~4% on winners and -3.5% on losers, requiring a win rate above 47% for profitability.
Suggestion: Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade to manage exposure.
5. Visuals and Alerts
Plots: Blue fast MA, red slow MA, and green triangles for buy signals.
Alerts: Trigger when an entry condition is met, so you don’t need to watch the chart constantly.
How to Use the Strategy
Setup:
Load TradingView, select BONK/USD on the 1-hour chart (Coinbase pair).
Paste the script into the Pine Editor and add it to your chart.
Customize:
Adjust the profit target (e.g., 5%) and stop-loss (e.g., 3%) to your preference.
Tweak ATR or MA lengths if BONK’s volatility shifts.
Trade:
Look for green triangle signals and confirm with market context (e.g., volume or news).
Enter trades manually or via TradingView’s broker tools if supported.
Exit when the profit target or stop-loss is hit.
Test:
Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to backtest on historical data and refine settings.
Benefits of the 1-Hour Timeframe
Faster Opportunities: Captures shorter-term uptrends in BONK’s volatile price action.
Responsive: Adjusted indicators react quickly to hourly changes.
Conservative: Maintains the 3-7% profit goal with tight risk control.
Potential Challenges
Noise: The 1-hour chart has more false signals. The ATR and MA filters help, but caution is needed.
Fees: Frequent trading increases costs, so ensure each trade’s potential justifies the expense.
Volatility: BONK can move unpredictably—monitor broader market trends or Solana ecosystem news.
Final Thoughts
Switching to a 1-hour timeframe makes the strategy more active, targeting shorter volatility spikes while keeping profits conservative at 3-7%. The adjusted indicators and conditions balance responsiveness with reliability. Backtest it on TradingView to confirm it suits BONK’s behavior, and always use proper risk management, as meme coins are highly speculative.
Disclaimer: This is for educational purposes, not financial advice. Cryptocurrency trading, especially with assets like BONK, is risky. Test thoroughly and trade responsibly.

Warnings: Note orange crosses (suppression_bear) or yellow crosses (suppression_bull).
3. Confirm the Signal
For Strong Bullish Divergence (Buy):
Green triangle appears.
Price closes above the 5-day SMA (purple line) and a recent swing high.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) exceeds the threshold (yellow line).
For Strong Bearish Divergence (Sell):
Red triangle appears.
Price closes below the 5-day SMA and a recent swing low.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) falls below the threshold (yellow line).
4. Enter the Trade
Long:
Buy at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Below the recent swing low or 2 × ATR(14) below entry.
Short:
Sell/short at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Above the recent swing high or 2 × ATR(14) above entry.
5. Manage the Trade
Take Profit:
Aim for a 2:1 or 3:1 risk-reward ratio (e.g., risk $0.05, target $0.10-$0.15).
Or exit when an opposite suppression signal appears (e.g., orange cross for longs).
Trailing Stop:
Move stop to breakeven after a 1:1 RR move.
Trail using the 5-day SMA or 2 × ATR(14).
Early Exit:
Exit if a suppression signal appears against your position (e.g., suppression_bull while short).
6. Filter Out Noise
Avoid trades if a suppression signal precedes a divergence within 2-3 days.

RSI Failure Swing Pattern (with Alerts & Targets)RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator – Detailed Description
Overview
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a trend reversal detection tool based on the principles of failure swings in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator identifies key reversal signals by analyzing RSI swings and confirming trend shifts using predefined overbought and oversold conditions.
Failure swing patterns are one of the strongest RSI-based reversal signals, initially introduced by J. Welles Wilder. This indicator detects these patterns and provides clear buy/sell signals with labeled entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels. The tool is designed to work across all timeframes and assets.
How the Indicator Works
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern consists of two key structures:
1. Bullish Failure Swing (Buy Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters oversold territory (below 30), recovers, forms a higher low above the oversold level, and finally breaks above the intermediate swing high in RSI.
Step 1: RSI dips below 30 (oversold condition).
Step 2: RSI rebounds and forms a local peak.
Step 3: RSI retraces but does not go below the previous low (higher low confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks above the previous peak, confirming a bullish trend reversal.
Buy signal is triggered at the breakout above the RSI peak.
2. Bearish Failure Swing (Sell Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters overbought territory (above 70), declines, forms a lower high below the overbought level, and then breaks below the intermediate swing low in RSI.
Step 1: RSI rises above 70 (overbought condition).
Step 2: RSI declines and forms a local trough.
Step 3: RSI bounces but fails to exceed the previous high (lower high confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks below the previous trough, confirming a bearish trend reversal.
Sell signal is triggered at the breakdown below the RSI trough.
Features of the Indicator
Custom RSI Settings: Adjustable RSI length (default 14), overbought/oversold levels.
Buy & Sell Signals: Buy/sell signals are plotted directly on the price chart.
Entry, Stop-Loss, and Profit Targets:
Entry: Price at the breakout of the RSI failure swing pattern.
Stop-Loss: Lowest low (for buy) or highest high (for sell) of the previous two bars.
Profit Targets: Two levels calculated based on Risk-Reward ratios (1:1 and 1:2 by default, customizable).
Labeled Price Levels:
Entry Price Line (Blue): Marks the point of trade entry.
Stop-Loss Line (Red): Shows the calculated stop-loss level.
Target 1 Line (Orange): Profit target at 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Target 2 Line (Green): Profit target at 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Alerts for Trade Execution:
Buy/Sell signals trigger alerts for real-time notifications.
Alerts fire when price reaches stop-loss or profit targets.
Works on Any Timeframe & Asset: Suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, indices, and commodities.
Why Use This Indicator?
Highly Reliable Reversal Signals: Unlike simple RSI overbought/oversold strategies, failure swings filter out false breakouts and provide strong confirmation of trend reversals.
Risk Management Built-In: Stop-loss and take-profit levels are automatically set based on historical price action and risk-reward considerations.
Easy-to-Use Visualization: Clearly marked entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels make it beginner-friendly while still being valuable for experienced traders.
How to Trade with the Indicator
Buy Trade Example (Bullish Failure Swing)
RSI drops below 30 and recovers.
RSI forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous peak.
Entry: Buy when RSI crosses above its previous peak.
Stop-Loss: Set below the lowest low of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Sell Trade Example (Bearish Failure Swing)
RSI rises above 70 and then declines.
RSI forms a lower high and then breaks below the previous trough.
Entry: Sell when RSI crosses below its previous trough.
Stop-Loss: Set above the highest high of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Final Thoughts
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify high-probability trend reversals. By using the RSI failure swing concept along with built-in risk management tools, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading with clear entry and exit points. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator helps in capturing momentum shifts while minimizing risk.
