BB Breakout + Momentum Squeeze [Strategy]This Strategy is Based on 3 free indicators
- Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator: Link
- TTM Squeeze Pro: Link
- Rolling ATR Bands: Link
Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator - This tool shows how strong a market trend is by measuring how often prices move outside their normal Bollinger bands range. It helps you see whether prices are strongly moving in one direction or just moving sideways. By looking at how much and how frequently prices push beyond their typical boundaries, you can identify which direction the market is heading over your selected time period.
TM Squeeze Pro - This is a custom version of the TTM Squeeze indicator.
It's designed to help traders spot consolidation phases in the market (when price is coiling or "squeezing") and to catch breakouts early when volatility returns. The logic is based on the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, combined with a momentum oscillator to show direction and strength.
Rolling ATR Bands - This indicator combines volatility bands (ATR) with momentum and trend signals to show where the market might be breaking out, retesting, or trending. It's highly visual and helpful for traders looking to time entries/exits during trending or volatile moves.
Logic Of the Strategy:
We are going to use the Bollinger Bands Breakout to determine the direction of the market. Than check the Volatility of the price by looking at the TTM Squeeze indicator. And use the ATR Bands to determine dynamic Stop Losses and based on the calculate the Take Profit targets and quantity for each position dynamically.
For the Long Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bull Power (Green line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
For the Short Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bear Power (Red line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
Stop Loss is determined by the Lower ATR Band (for the Long entry) and Upper ATR Band (For the Short entry)
Take Profit is 1:1.5 risk reward ration, which means if the Stop loss is 1% the TP target will be 1.5%
Move stop Loss to Breakeven: If the price will go in the direction of the trade for at least half of the Risk Reward target then the stop will automatically be adjusted to the entry price. For Example: the Stop Loss is 1%, the price has move at least 0.5% in the direction of your trade and that will move the Stop Loss level to the Entry point.
You can Adjust the parameters for each indicator used in that script and also adjust the Risk and Money management block to see how the PnL will change.
is_strategyCorrection-Adaptive Trend Strategy (Open-Source)
Core Advantage: Designed specifically for the is_correction indicator, with full transparency and customization options.
Key Features:
Open-Source Code:
✅ Full access to the strategy logic – study how every trade signal is generated.
✅ Freedom to customize – modify entry/exit rules, risk parameters, or add new indicators.
✅ No black boxes – understand and trust every decision the strategy makes.
Built for is_correction:
Filters out false signals during market noise.
Works only in confirmed trends (is_correction = false).
Adaptable for Your Needs:
Change Take Profit/Stop Loss ratios directly in the code.
Add alerts, notifications, or integrate with other tools (e.g., Volume Profile).
For Developers/Traders:
Use the code as a template for your own strategies.
Test modifications risk-free on historical data.
How the Strategy Works:
Main Goal:
Automatically buys when the price starts rising and sells when it starts falling, but only during confirmed trends (ignoring temporary pullbacks).
What You See on the Chart:
📈 Up arrows ▼ (below the candle) = Buy signal.
📉 Down arrows ▲ (above the candle) = Sell signal.
Gray background = Market is in a correction (no trades).
Key Mechanics:
Buy Condition:
Price closes higher than the previous candle + is_correction confirms the main trend (not a pullback).
Example: Red candle → green candle → ▼ arrow → buy.
Sell Condition:
Price closes lower than the previous candle + is_correction confirms the trend (optional: turn off short-selling in settings).
Exit Rules:
Closes trades automatically at:
+0.5% profit (adjustable in settings).
-0.5% loss (adjustable).
Or if a reverse signal appears (e.g., sell signal after a buy).
User-Friendly Settings:
Sell – On (default: ON):
ON → Allows short-selling (selling when price falls).
OFF → Strategy only buys and closes positions.
Revers (default: OFF):
ON → Inverts signals (▼ = sell, ▲ = buy).
%Profit & %Loss:
Adjust these values (0-30%) to increase/decrease profit targets and risk.
Example Scenario:
Buy Signal:
Price rises for 3 days → green ▼ arrow → strategy buys.
Stop loss set 0.5% below entry price.
If price keeps rising → trade closes at +0.5% profit.
Correction Phase:
After a rally, price drops for 1 day → gray background → strategy ignores the drop (no action).
Stop Loss Trigger:
If price drops 0.5% from entry → trade closes automatically.
Key Features:
Correction Filter (is_correction):
Acts as a “noise filter” → avoids trades during temporary pullbacks.
Flexibility:
Disable short-selling, flip signals, or tweak profit/loss levels in seconds.
Transparency:
Open-source code → see exactly how every signal is generated (click “Source” in TradingView).
Tips for Beginners:
Test First:
Run the strategy on historical data (click the “Chart” icon in TradingView).
See how it performed in the past.
Customize It:
Increase %Profit to 2-3% for volatile assets like crypto.
Turn off Sell – On if short-selling confuses you.
Trust the Stop Loss:
Even if you think the price will rebound, the strategy will close at -0.5% to protect your capital.

Трендовая стратегия с открытым кодом
Главное преимущество: Полная прозрачность логики и адаптация под ваши нужды.
Особенности:
Открытый исходный код:
✅ Видите всю «кухню» стратегии – как формируются сигналы, когда открываются сделки.
✅ Меняйте правила – корректируйте тейк-профит, стоп-лосс или добавляйте новые условия.
✅ Никаких секретов – вы контролируете каждое правило.
Заточка под is_correction:
Игнорирует ложные сигналы в коррекциях.
Работает только в сильных трендах (is_correction = false).
Гибкая настройка:
Подстройте параметры под свой риск-менеджмент.
Добавьте свои индикаторы или условия для входа.
Для трейдеров и разработчиков:
Используйте код как основу для своих стратегий.
Тестируйте изменения на истории перед реальной торговлей.
Простыми словами:
Почему это удобно:
Открытый код = полный контроль. Вы можете:
Увидеть, как именно стратегия решает купить или продать.
Изменить правила закрытия сделок (например, поставить TP=2% вместо 1.5%).
Добавить новые условия (например, торговать только при высоком объёме).
Примеры кастомизации:
Новички: Меняйте только TP/SL в настройках (без кодинга).
Продвинутые: Добавьте RSI-фильтр, чтобы избегать перекупленности.
Разработчики: Встройте стратегию в свою торговую систему.
Как начать:
Скачайте код из TradingView.
Изучите логику в разделе strategy.entry/exit.
Меняйте параметры в блоке input.* (безопасно!).
Тестируйте изменения и оптимизируйте под свои цели.
Как работает стратегия:
Главная задача:
Автоматически покупает, когда цена начинает расти, и продаёт, когда падает. Но делает это «умно» — только когда рынок в основном тренде, а не во временном откате (коррекции).
Что видно на графике:
📈 Стрелки вверх ▼ (под свечой) — сигнал на покупку.
📉 Стрелки вниз ▲ (над свечой) — сигнал на продажу.
Серый фон — рынок в коррекции (не торгуем).
Как это работает:
Когда покупаем:
Если цена закрылась выше предыдущей и индикатор is_correction показывает «основной тренд» (не коррекция).
Пример: Была красная свеча → стала зелёная → появилась стрелка ▼ → покупаем.
Когда продаём:
Если цена закрылась ниже предыдущей и is_correction подтверждает тренд (опционально, можно отключить в настройках).
Когда закрываем сделку:
Автоматически при достижении:
+0.5% прибыли (можно изменить в настройках).
-0.5% убытка (можно изменить).
Или если появился противоположный сигнал (например, после покупки пришла стрелка продажи).
Настройки для чайников:
«Sell – On» (включено по умолчанию):
Если включено → стратегия будет продавать в шорт.
Если выключено → только покупки и закрытие позиций.
«Revers» (выключено по умолчанию):
Если включить → стратегия будет работать наоборот (стрелки ▼ = продажа, ▲ = покупка).
«%Profit» и «%Loss»:
Меняйте эти цифры (от 0 до 30), чтобы увеличить/уменьшить прибыль и риски.
Пример работы:
Сигнал на покупку:
Цена 3 дня растет → появляется зелёная стрелка ▼ → стратегия покупает.
Стоп-лосс ставится на 0.5% ниже цены входа.
Если цена продолжает расти → сделка закрывается при +0.5% прибыли.
Коррекция:
После роста цена падает на 1 день → фон становится серым → стратегия игнорирует это падение (не закрывает сделку).
Стоп-лосс:
Если цена упала на 0.5% от точки входа → сделка закрывается автоматически.
Важные особенности:
Фильтр коррекций (is_correction):
Это «защита от шума» — стратегия не реагирует на мелкие откаты, работая только в сильных трендах.
Гибкие настройки:
Можно запретить шорты, перевернуть сигналы или изменить уровни прибыли/убытка за 2 клика.
Прозрачность:
Весь код открыт → вы можете увидеть, как формируется каждый сигнал (меню «Исходник» в TradingView).
Советы для новичков:
Начните с теста:
Запустите стратегию на исторических данных (кнопка «Свеча» в окне TradingView).
Посмотрите, как она работала в прошлом.
Настройте под себя:
Увеличьте %Profit до 2-3%, если торгуете валюты.
Отключите «Sell – On», если не понимаете шорты.
Доверяйте стоп-лоссу:
Даже если кажется, что цена развернётся — стратегия закроет сделку при -0.5%, защитив ваш депозит.
Где найти настройки:
Кликните на название стратегии в верхнем левом углу графика → откроется меню с ползунками и переключателями.
Важно: Стратегия предоставляет «рыбу» – чтобы она стала «уловистой», адаптируйте её под свой стиль торговли!
Pure Price Action Breakout with 1:5 RR
Description of the Price Action Trading Script (Pine Script v6)
Overview
This script is a pure price action-based breakout strategy designed for TradingView. It identifies key breakout levels and executes long and short trades based on market structure. The strategy ensures a minimum risk-to-reward ratio (RR) of 1:5, aiming for high profitability with well-defined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
How the Script Works
1️⃣ Breakout Identification
The script uses a lookback period to find the highest high and lowest low over the last n bars.
A bullish breakout occurs when the price closes above the previous highest high.
A bearish breakout happens when the price closes below the previous lowest low.
2️⃣ Entry & Exit Strategy
Long Entry: If a bullish breakout is detected, the script enters a long position.
Short Entry: If a bearish breakout is detected, the script enters a short position.
The stop-loss is placed at the recent swing low (for long trades) or recent swing high (for short trades).
The target price is calculated based on a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:5, ensuring profitable trades.
3️⃣ Risk Management
The stop-loss prevents excessive losses by exiting trades when the market moves unfavorably.
The strategy ensures that each trade has a reward potential at least 5 times the risk.
Positions are executed based on price action only, without indicators like moving averages or RSI.
4️⃣ Visual Representation
The script plots breakout levels to help traders visualize potential trade setups.
Entry points, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are labeled on the chart for easy tracking.
Key Features & Benefits
✔ Pure Price Action – No lagging indicators, only real-time price movements.
✔ High Risk-to-Reward Ratio (1:5) – Ensures high-profit potential trades.
✔ Real-time Entry & Exit Signals – Provides accurate trade setups.
✔ Dynamic Stop-loss Calculation – Adjusts based on recent market structure.
✔ Customizable Parameters – Lookback periods and risk ratios can be modified.
EMA SHIFT & PARALLEL [n_dot]BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P
This strategy was developed for CRYPTO FUTURES, (the settings for ETHUSDT.P) . I aimed for the strategy to function in a live environment, so I focused on making its operation realistic:
When determining the position, only 80% (adjustable) of the available cash is invested to reduce the risk of position liquidation.
I account for a 0.05% commission, typical on the futures market, for each entry and exit.
Concept:
I modified a simple, well-known method: the crossover of two exponential moving averages (FAST, SLOW) generates the entry and exit signals.
I enhanced the base idea as follows:
For the fast EMA, I incorporated a multiplier (offset) to filter out market noise and focus only on strong signals.
I use different EMAs for long and short entry points; both have their own FAST and SLOW EMAs and their own offset. For longs, the FAST EMA is adjusted downward (<1), while for shorts, it is adjusted upward (>1). Consequently, the signal is generated when the modified FAST EMA crosses the SLOW EMA.
Risk Management:
The position includes the following components:
Separate stop-losses for long and short positions.
Separate trailers for long and short positions.
The strategy operates so that the entry point is determined by the EMA crossover, while the exit is governed only by the Stop Loss or Trailer. Optionally, it can be set to close the position at the EMA recrossing ("Close at Signal").
Trailer Operation:
An entry percentage and offset are defined. The trailer activates when the price surpasses the entry price, calculated automatically by the system.
The trailer closes the position when the price drops by the offset percentage from the highest reached price.
Example for trailer:
Purchase Price = 100
Trailer Enter = 5% → Activation Price = 105 (triggers trailer if market price crosses it).
Trailer Offset = 2%
If the price rises to 110, the exit price becomes 107.8.
If the price goes to 120, the exit price becomes 117.6.
If the price falls below 117.6, the trailer closes the position.
Settings:
Source: Determines the market price reference.
End Close: Closes positions at the end of the simulation to avoid "shadow positions" and provide an objective result.
Lot proportional to free cash (%): Only a portion of free cash is invested to meet margin requirements.
Plot Short, Plot Long: Simplifies displayed information by toggling indicator lines on/off.
Long Position (toggleable):
EMA Fast ws: Window size for FAST EMA.
EMA Slow ws: Window size for SLOW EMA.
EMA Fast down shift: Adjustment factor for FAST EMA.
Stop Loss long (%): Percent drop to close the position.
Trailer enter (%): Percent above the purchase price to activate the trailer.
Trailer offset (%): Percent drop to close the position.
Short Position (toggleable):
EMA Fast ws: Window size for FAST EMA.
EMA Slow ws: Window size for SLOW EMA.
EMA Fast up shift: Adjustment factor for FAST EMA.
Stop Loss short (%): Percent rise to close the position.
Trailer enter (%): Percent below the purchase price to activate the trailer.
Trailer offset (%): Percent rise to close the position.
Operational Framework:
If in a long position and a short EMA crossover occurs, the strategy closes the long and opens a short (flip).
If in a short position and a long EMA crossover occurs, the strategy closes the short and opens a long (flip).
A position can close in three ways:
Stop Loss
Trailer
Signal Recrossing
If none are active, the position remains open until the end of the simulation.
Observations:
Shifts significantly deviating from 1 increase overfitting risk. Recommended ranges: 0.96–0.99 (long) and 1.01–1.05 (short).
The strategy's advantage lies in risk management, crucial in leveraged futures markets. It operates with relatively low DrawDown.
Recommendations:
Bullish Market: Higher entry threshold (e.g., 6%) and larger offset (e.g., 3%).
Volatile/Sideways Market: Tighter parameters (e.g., 3%, 1%).
The method is stable, and minor parameter adjustments do not significantly impact results, helping assess overfitting: if small changes lead to drastic differences, the strategy is over-optimized.
EMA Settings: Adjust FAST and SLOW EMAs based on the asset's volatility and cyclicality.
On the crypto market, especially in the Futures market, short time periods (1–15 minutes) often show significant noise, making patterns/repetitions hard to identify. I recommend setting the interval to at least 1 hour.
I hope this contributes to your success!
Sunil High-Frequency Strategy with Simple MACD & RSISunil High-Frequency Strategy with Simple MACD & RSI
This high-frequency trading strategy uses a combination of MACD and RSI to identify quick market opportunities. By leveraging these indicators, combined with dynamic risk management using ATR, it aims to capture small but frequent price movements while ensuring tight control over risk.
Key Features:
Indicators Used:
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The strategy uses a shorter MACD configuration (Fast Length of 6 and Slow Length of 12) to capture quick price momentum shifts. A MACD crossover above the signal line triggers a buy signal, while a crossover below the signal line triggers a sell signal.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): A shorter RSI length of 7 is used to gauge overbought and oversold market conditions. The strategy looks for RSI confirmation, with a long trade initiated when RSI is below the overbought level (70) and a short trade initiated when RSI is above the oversold level (30).
Risk Management:
Dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy uses ATR (Average True Range) to calculate dynamic stop loss and take profit levels based on market volatility.
Stop Loss is set at 0.5x ATR to limit risk.
Take Profit is set at 1.5x ATR to capture reasonable price moves.
Trailing Stop: As the market moves in the strategy’s favor, the position is protected by a trailing stop set at 0.5x ATR, allowing the strategy to lock in profits as the price moves further.
Entry & Exit Signals:
Long Entry: Triggered when the MACD crosses above the signal line (bullish crossover) and RSI is below the overbought level (70).
Short Entry: Triggered when the MACD crosses below the signal line (bearish crossover) and RSI is above the oversold level (30).
Exit Conditions: The strategy exits long or short positions based on the stop loss, take profit, or trailing stop activation.
Frequent Trades:
This strategy is designed for high-frequency trading, with trade signals occurring frequently as the MACD and RSI indicators react quickly to price movements. It works best on lower timeframes such as 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts, but can be adjusted for different timeframes based on the asset’s volatility.
Customizable Parameters:
MACD Settings: Adjust the Fast Length, Slow Length, and Signal Length to tune the MACD’s sensitivity.
RSI Settings: Customize the RSI Length, Overbought, and Oversold levels to better match your trading style.
ATR Settings: Modify the ATR Length and multipliers for Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Trailing Stop to optimize risk management according to market volatility.
Important Notes:
Market Conditions: This strategy is designed to capture smaller, quicker moves in trending markets. It may not perform well during choppy or sideways markets.
Optimizing for Asset Volatility: Adjust the ATR multipliers based on the asset’s volatility to suit the risk-reward profile that fits your trading goals.
Backtesting: It's recommended to backtest the strategy on different assets and timeframes to ensure optimal performance.
Summary:
The Sunil High-Frequency Strategy leverages a simple combination of MACD and RSI with dynamic risk management (using ATR) to trade small but frequent price movements. The strategy ensures tight stop losses and reasonable take profits, with trailing stops to lock in profits as the price moves in favor of the trade. It is ideal for scalping or intraday trading on lower timeframes, aiming for quick entries and exits with controlled risk.
Omega_galskyThe strategy uses three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) — EMA8, EMA21, and EMA89 — to decide when to open buy or sell trades. It also includes a mechanism to move the Stop Loss (SL) to the Break-Even (BE) point, which is the entry price, once the price reaches a Risk-to-Reward (R2R) ratio of 1:1.
Key Steps:
Calculating EMAs: The script computes the EMA values for the specified periods. These help identify market trends and potential entry points.
Buy Conditions:
EMA8 crosses above EMA21.
The candle that causes the crossover is green (closing price is higher than the opening price).
The closing price is above EMA89.
If all conditions are met, a buy order is executed.
Sell Conditions:
EMA8 crosses below EMA21.
The candle that causes the crossover is red (closing price is lower than the opening price).
The closing price is below EMA89.
If all conditions are met, a sell order is executed.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Initial Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are calculated based on the entry price and a percentage defined by the user.
These levels help protect against large losses and lock in profits.
Break-Even Logic:
When the price moves favorably to reach a 1:1 R2R ratio:
For a buy trade, the Stop Loss is moved to the entry price if the price increases sufficiently.
For a sell trade, the Stop Loss is moved to the entry price if the price decreases sufficiently.
This ensures the trade is risk-free after the price reaches the predefined level.
Visual Representation:
The EMAs are plotted on the chart for easy visualization of trends and crossovers.
Entry and exit points are also marked on the chart to track trades.
Purpose:
The strategy is designed to capitalize on EMA crossovers while minimizing risks using Break-Even logic and predefined Stop Loss/Take Profit levels. It automates decision-making for trend-following traders and ensures disciplined risk management.
Gold Trade Setup Strategy
Title: Profitable Gold Setup Strategy with Adaptive Moving Average & Supertrend
Introduction:
This trading strategy for Gold (XAU/USD) combines the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) and Supertrend, tailored for high-probability setups during specific trading hours. The AMA identifies the trend, while the Supertrend confirms entry and exit points. The strategy is optimized for swing and intraday traders looking to capitalize on Gold’s price movements with precise trade timing.
Strategy Components:
1. Adaptive Moving Average (AMA):
• Reacts dynamically to market conditions, filtering noise in choppy markets.
• Serves as the primary trend indicator.
2. Supertrend:
• Confirms entry signals with clear buy and sell levels.
• Acts as a trailing stop-loss to protect profits.
Trading Rules:
Trading Hours:
• Only take trades between 8:30 AM and 10:30 PM IST.
• Avoid trading outside these hours to reduce noise and low-volume setups.
Buy Setup:
1. Trend Confirmation: The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) must be green.
2. Signal Confirmation: The Supertrend should turn green after the AMA is green.
3. Trigger: Take the trade when the high of the trigger candle (the candle that turned Supertrend green) is broken.
Sell Setup (Optional if included):
• Reverse the rules for a short trade: AMA and Supertrend should both indicate bearish conditions (red), and take the trade when the low of the trigger candle is broken.
Stop-Loss and Targets:
• Place the stop-loss at the low of the trigger candle for long trades.
• Set a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use the Supertrend line as a trailing stop-loss.
Timeframes:
• Recommended timeframes: 1H, 4H, or Daily for swing trading.
• For intraday trading, use 15-minute or 30-minute charts.
Why This Strategy Works:
• Combines trend-following (AMA) with momentum-based entries (Supertrend).
• Focused trading hours filter out low-probability setups.
• Provides precise entry, stop-loss, and target levels for disciplined trading.
Conclusion:
This Gold Setup Strategy is designed for traders seeking a structured approach to trading Gold. Follow the rules strictly, backtest the strategy extensively, and share your results. Let’s master the Gold market together!

The "IU Open Equal to High/Low Strategy" is designed to identify and trade specific market conditions where the day's first price action shows a strong directional bias. This strategy automatically enters trades based on the relationship between the market's open price and its first high or low of the day.
Entry Conditions:
1. Long Entry: A long position is initiated when the first open price of the session equals the day's first low. This signals a potential upward move.
2. Short Entry: A short position is initiated when the first open price of the session equals the day's first high. This signals a potential downward move.
Exit Conditions:
1. Stop Loss (SL): For both long and short trades, the stop loss is calculated based on the low or high of the candle where the position was entered.
2. Take Profit (TP): The take profit is set using a Risk-to-Reward (RTR) ratio, which is customizable by the user. The TP is calculated relative to the entry price and the distance between the entry and the stop loss.
Additional Features:
- Plots are used to visualize the entry price, stop loss, and take profit levels directly on the chart, providing clear and actionable insights.
- Labels are displayed to indicate the occurrence of the "Open == Low" or "Open == High" conditions for easier identification of potential trade setups.
- A dynamic fill highlights the areas between the entry price and the stop loss or take profit, offering a clear visual representation of the trade's risk and reward zones.
This strategy is designed for traders looking to capitalize on directional momentum at the start of the trading session. It is customizable, allowing users to set their desired Risk-to-Reward ratio and tailor the strategy to fit their trading style.
R-based Strategy Template [Daveatt]Have you ever wondered how to properly track your trading performance based on risk rather than just profits?
This template solves that problem by implementing R-multiple tracking directly in TradingView's strategy tester.
This script is a tool that you must update with your own trading entry logic.
Quick notes
Before we dive in, I want to be clear: this is a template focused on R-multiple calculation and visualization.
I'm using a basic RSI strategy with dummy values just to demonstrate how the R tracking works. The actual trading signals aren't important here - you should replace them with your own strategy logic.
R multiple logic
Let's talk about what R-multiple means in practice.
Think of R as your initial risk per trade.
For instance, if you have a $10,000 account and you're risking 1% per trade, your 1R would be $100.
A trade that makes twice your risk would be +2R ($200), while hitting your stop loss would be -1R (-$100).
This way of measuring makes it much easier to evaluate your strategy's performance regardless of account size.
Whenever the SL is hit, we lose -1R
Proof showing the strategy tester whenever the SL is hit: i.imgur.com
The magic happens in how we calculate position sizes.
The script automatically determines the right position size to risk exactly your specified percentage on each trade.
This is done through a simple but powerful calculation:
risk_amount = (strategy.equity * (risk_per_trade_percent / 100))
sl_distance = math.abs(entry_price - sl_price)
position_size = risk_amount / (sl_distance * syminfo.pointvalue)
Limitations with lower timeframe gaps
This ensures that if your stop loss gets hit, you'll lose exactly the amount you intended to risk. No more, no less.
Well, could be more or less actually ... let's assume you're trading futures on a 15-minute chart but in the 1-minute chart there is a gap ... then your 15 minute SL won't get filled and you'll likely to not lose exactly -1R
This is annoying but it can't be fixed - and that's how trading works anyway.
Features
The template gives you flexibility in how you set your stop losses. You can use fixed points, ATR-based stops, percentage-based stops, or even tick-based stops.
Regardless of which method you choose, the position sizing will automatically adjust to maintain your desired risk per trade.
To help you track performance, I've added a comprehensive statistics table in the top right corner of your chart.
It shows you everything you need to know about your strategy's performance in terms of R-multiples: how many R you've won or lost, your win rate, average R per trade, and even your longest winning and losing streaks.
Happy trading!
And remember, measuring your performance in R-multiples is one of the most classical ways to evaluate and improve your trading strategies.

IU EMA Channel StrategyIU EMA Channel Strategy
Overview:
The IU EMA Channel Strategy is a simple yet effective trend-following strategy that uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on the high and low prices. It provides clear entry and exit signals by identifying price crossovers relative to the EMAs while incorporating a built-in Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) for effective risk management.
Inputs ( Settings ):
- RTR (Risk-to-Reward Ratio): Define the ratio for risk-to-reward (default = 2).
- EMA Length: Adjust the length of the EMA channels (default = 100).
How the Strategy Works
1. EMA Channels:
- High-based EMA: EMA calculated on the high price.
- Low-based EMA: EMA calculated on the low price.
The area between these two EMAs creates a "channel" that visually highlights potential support and resistance zones.
2. Entry Rules:
- Long Entry: When the price closes above the high-based EMA (crossover).
- Short Entry: When the price closes below the low-based EMA (crossunder).
These entries ensure trades are taken in the direction of momentum.
3. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Stop Loss:
- For long positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's low.
- For short positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's high.
- Take Profit:
- TP is automatically calculated using the Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) you define.
- Example: If RTR = 2, the TP will be 2x the risk distance.
4. Exit Rules:
- Positions are closed at either the stop loss or the take profit level.
- The strategy manages exits automatically to enforce disciplined risk management.
Visual Features
1. EMA Channels:
- The high and low EMAs are dynamically color-coded:
- Green: Price is above the EMA (bullish condition).
- Red: Price is below the EMA (bearish condition).
- The area between the EMAs is shaded for better visual clarity.
2. Stop Loss and Take Profit Zones:
- SL and TP levels are plotted for both long and short positions.
- Zones are filled with:
- Red: Stop Loss area.
- Green: Take Profit area.
Be sure to manage your risk and position size properly.
TheHorsyAlgoPROThe Horsy algo is an automated strategy that uses any minute Higher timeframe range as reference and search for a purge of liquidity on the HTF high or low where buyside or sell side liquidity is, the algo only search this at specific desired times that can be configured according to the time you usually trade, the strategy is known as Turtle soup purge and reverse or lately as CRT.
Why is useful?
The purpose of this Algorithm is to help turtle soup traders to quickly identify when the market is likely to reverse the algo evaluates if the opportunity is worth it, base on risk reward and other desired filters. Also this strategy can help to quickly backtest the trader strategy it can be configured in different timeframes and adapt to the trader personality, they can easily see the results and statistics and notice if its profitable or not.
This algo is useful for intraday traders looking for a purge and reverse at a key times and at key HTF price levels this only looks the previous HTF highs and lows but is important to also monitor Order blocks, FVGs, gaps, or wicks to have the best results.
How it works and how it does it?
The Horsy algo simply Jumps from one type of liquidity to another one buyside to sell side or vice versa. In order for the algo to trigger an entry it has to meet these conditions
1. Take HTF liquidity, trade above a HTF high or below a HTF low in the selected time window
2. Make a change in the state of delivery with a close below the previous candle low for shorts and close above previous candle high for longs.
3. Allow for a reasonable risk reward, it will use the highest high for shorts and the lowest low for longs. The default take profit is the opposite side of the range.
4. Validate others user filters this include enter only trades aligned with the HTF bias, or trades aligned with the LTF bias or booth. The algo have the option to enter only premium and discount entries. And finally, an option to allow for different contract sizes depending of the maximum percent of the account we want to risk default is 1%. For this last option is important to check the initial balance and leverage are configured correctly, is disable by default because it requires more capital to perform well.
We can see the algo performing in the picture below with a short trade, notice there are some white lines, they are the high or the low of HTF candle that start generating inside candles in the HTF meaning a possible consolidation. The algo plots the HTF ranges in a shaded boxes as you can see below
The HTF bias as you can see in the picture is calculated based on the last close of the HTF meaning close above previous HTF high is bullish close below previous HTF low is bearish. This HTF bias level is also the last HTF mid-price or 50%. By default, this line is enabled.
The LTF bias is calculated based on the range created from the expansion outside the previous HTF range is also the mid-price. If the LTF close above previous HTF high is bullish and if the LTF close below previous HTF low is bearish. By default this LTF bias line is disable.
This strategy includes an original and personal developed code that uses dealing ranges to recognize if the market is expanding, retracing, reversing or consolidating. This allow the algo to exit the position when it detects a retracement or at the end of the expansion. This is the default exit type.
You can monitor the previous dealing ranges created in history with an option than can be enable, by default is disable, this ranges are created after price takes buyside and then sell side or vice versa. So this dealing ranges can be useful also to identify minor pools of liquidity and premium and discount in the lower timeframe.
The picture below is a long example, the exit in this case is just at the high of the range. The normal take profit is in a blue line for longs.
How to use it?
First select the desired HTF timeframe recommended is from 30min to 240min then you setup the chart on the lower timeframe you want to trade recommended is from 1min to 15min to enter. By default This strategy is designed to work for intraday during key times when price take stops and then moves quickly away from them. You can select as much as 6 different times or just one. After you select the desired time window where the algo will look for the purge and reverse, They are highlighted in the candles that change colors excluding the gray ones that indicates consolidation.
Then the Algo allow to performs several additional filters in the entries you can select if you want to trade only longs or shorts trades, you can select when to move the stop loss to Break even. In deviations of the risk or you can just select to remove risk when price hits the 50% of previous HTF range.
You can select the minimum desired risk reward of the trade before is allow to be taken. Once is configured correctly the algo should trigger signals with a triangle up or down plus the strategy entry.
At the beginning of the picture there are some blue lines in the HTF high low and close, this is to easily identify that the market is in the Asia session, the time can be configured by the user, these lines are normally gray.
On the right top of the screen you can see some statistics about the strategy how many trades it took, ARR is an approximated value of the accumulated total risk reward of all the trades when they get closed in the simulation.
Profit factor and percent profitable are also shown should be green it means that the strategy makes money over time. But apart from that is important to notice how it makes money it is stable over time? it is a roller coaster? that why I Include this other measurements MxcsTps is the maximum consecutives take profits and Mxcsls is the maximum consecutive stop losses it takes, the slash number after it is the consecutive Break evens. So this way you know what to expect and what is normal in the strategy.
The algo shows all the times the stop loss, take profit and break even level if enable in the colored red lines for short and blue lines for longs. You can also select how price will manage the profit or stoploss point meaning that you can choose to wait for the candle to close to invalidate your idea or to take profit. This is good to avoid liquidity sweeps but can also lead to mayor loses if the idea is wrong. The default setting is to close the trade when price takes the high or low where the stoploss is, the take profit is taken after a retracement to allow to profit on expansions. You can select also to exit on a reversal if you want to ride all the move. This last option has to be used with caution because sometimes price just retrace or reverse very fast decreasing the trade profit and overall strategy performance.
The algo have the option to use standard deviation from the normal risk if you prefer to prevent liquidity sweeps near the stop level this make wider stops but can lead to increased loses so it has to be used carefully.
Below is a picture that show the entry stop and take profit levels with an exit on a retracement activated.
Strategy Results
The backtesting results are obtained simulating a 2000usd account in the Micro Nasdaq using 1 contract per trade. Commission are set to 2usd per contract, slippage to 1tick. You can see in list of trades we are not risking more than 1 % percent of the account. The backtested range is from august to November 2024. This strategy doesn’t generate too much trades because of the time filters and conditions that has to be meet to take an entry but you can see the results of the last 4months with the available data that are around 32 trades.
The default settings for this strategy is HTF as 240min designed to work on a LTF 5min chart, the default purge times are 245-300, 745-800, 845-900, 1045-1100 and 1245-1300 UTC-4, the algo will look for shorts or longs, with a minimum risk reward of 2.0. With an additional filter of the HTFBias. The take profit is by default taken on the first retracement after hitting the target. The default settings are optimized to work on the Nasdaq or Spy, but can also perform well in other assets with the correct adjustments.
Remember entries constitute only a small component of a complete winning strategy. Other factors like risk management, position-sizing, trading frequency, trading fees, and many others must also be properly managed to achieve profitability. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. To really take advantage of this strategy you have to study turtle soup and the HTF key levels use this only as a confirmation that your overall idea will play out and use it to backtest your model.

Candle Range Theory [Advanced] - AlgoVisionUnderstanding Candle Range Theory (CRT) in the AlgoVision Indicator
Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a structured approach to analyzing market movements within the price ranges of candlesticks. CRT is founded on the idea that each candlestick on a chart, regardless of timeframe, represents a distinct range of price action, marked by the candle's open, high, low, and close. This range gives insights into market dynamics, and when analyzed in lower timeframes, reveals patterns that indicate underlying market sentiment and institutional behaviors.
Key Concepts of Candle Range Theory
Candlestick Range: The range of a candlestick is simply the distance between its high and low. Across timeframes, this range highlights significant price behavior, with each candlestick representing a snapshot of price movement. The body (distance between open and close) shows the primary price action, while wicks (shadows) reflect price fluctuations or "noise" around this movement.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: A higher-timeframe (HTF) candlestick can be dissected into smaller, structured price movements in lower timeframes (LTFs). By analyzing these smaller movements, traders gain a detailed view of the market’s progression within the HTF candlestick’s range. Each HTF candlestick’s high and low provide support and resistance levels on the LTF, where the price can "sweep," break out, or retest these levels.
Market Behavior within the Range: Price action within a range doesn’t move randomly; it follows structured behavior, often revealing patterns. By analyzing these patterns, CRT provides insights into the market’s intention to accumulate, manipulate, or distribute assets within these ranges. This behavior can indicate future market direction and increase the probability of accurate trading signals.
CRT and ICT Power of 3: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution (AMD)
A foundational element of our CRT indicator is its combination with ICT’s Power of 3 (Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution or AMD). This approach identifies three stages of market movement:
Accumulation: During this phase, institutions accumulate positions within a tight price range, often leading to sideways movement. Here, price consolidates as institutions carefully enter or exit positions, erasing traces of their intent from public view.
Manipulation: Institutions often use manipulation to create false breakouts, targeting retail traders who enter the market on perceived breakouts or reversals. Manipulation is characterized by liquidity grabs, false breakouts, or stop hunts, as price momentarily moves outside the established range before quickly returning.
Distribution: Following accumulation and manipulation, the distribution phase aligns with the true market direction. Institutions now allow the market to move with the trend, initiating a stronger and more sustained price movement that aligns with their intended position.
This AMD cycle is often observed across multiple timeframes, allowing traders to refine entries and exits by identifying accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases on smaller timeframes within the range of a higher-timeframe candle. CRT views this cycle as the "heartbeat" of the market—a continuous loop of price movements. With our indicator, you can identify this cycle on your current timeframe, with the signal candle acting as the "manipulation" candle.
How to Use the Premium AlgoVision CRT Indicator
1. Indicator Display Options
Bullish/Bearish Plot Indication: Toggles the display of bullish or bearish CRT signals. Turn this on to display signals on your chart or off to reduce screen clutter.
Order Block Indication: Highlights the order block entry price, which is the preferred entry point for CRT trades.
Purge Time Indication: Shows when the low or high of Candle 1 is purged by Candle 2, helping to identify potential manipulation points.
2. Filter Options
Match Indicator Candle with Signal: Ensures that only bullish Candle 2s (for longs) or bearish Candle 2s (for shorts) are signaled. This filter helps eliminate signals where the candlestick’s direction does not align with the CRT model.
Take Profit Already Reached: When enabled, this filter removes CRT signals if take profit levels are reached within Candle 2. This helps focus on setups where there’s still room for price movement.
Midnight Price Filter: Filters signals based on midnight price levels:
Longs: Only signals if the order block entry price is below the midnight price.
Shorts: Only signals if the order block entry price is above the midnight price.
3. Entry and Exit Settings
Wick out prevention: Allows positions to stay open and prevent getting wicked out. Positions will still be able to close if determined by the algorithm.
Buy/Sell: This allows you to set you daily bias. You can select to only see buys or sells.
Custom Stop Loss: Sets a custom stop loss distance from the entry price (e.g., $100 or $200 away) if the predefined stop loss based on Candle 2’s low/high doesn’t suit your preference.
Take Profit Levels: Choose from three take profit levels:
Optimized Take Profit: Uses an optimized take profit level based on CRT’s recommended exit point.
Take Profit 1: Sets an initial take profit level.
Take Profit 2: Sets a secondary take profit level for a more extended exit target.
Timeframe of Order Block: Select the timeframe of the order block entry, which can be tailored based on the timeframe of the CRT signal.
Risk-to-Reward Filter: Filters trades based on a specified risk-to-reward ratio, using the indicator’s stop loss as the base. This helps to ensure trades meet minimum reward criteria.
4. Risk Management
Fixed Entry QTY: This will allow you to open all positions with a fixed QTY
Risk to Reward Ratio: This allows you to set a minimum risk to reward ratio, the strategy will only take trades if this risk to reward is met.
Risk Type:
Fixed Amount: Allows you to risk a fixed $ amount.
% of account: Allows you to risk % of account equity.
5. Day and Time Filters
Filter by Days: Specify the days of the week for CRT signals to appear. For instance, you could enable signals only on Thursdays. This setting can be adjusted to any day or combination of days.
Purge Time Filter: Filters CRT signals based on specific purge times when Candle 1’s low/high is breached by Candle 2, as CRT setups are observed to work best during certain times.
Hour Filters for CRT Signals:
1-Hour CRT Times: Allows filtering CRT signals based on specific 1-hour time intervals.
4-Hour CRT Times: Filter 4-hour CRT signals based on specified times.
Forex and Futures Conversion: Adjusts times based on standard sessions for Forex (e.g., 9:00 AM 4-hour candle) and Futures (e.g., 10 PM candle for Futures or 8 AM for Crypto).
6. Currency and Asset-Specific Filters
Crypto vs. Forex Mode: This setting adjusts the indicator’s timing to match market sessions specific to either crypto or Forex/Futures, ensuring the CRT model aligns with the asset type.
Additional Notes
Backtesting Options: Adjust these to test risk management, such as risking a fixed amount or a percentage of the account, for historical performance insights.
Optimized Settings: This version includes all features and optimized settings, with the most refined data analysis.
Conclusion By combining CRT with ICT Power of 3, the AlgoVision Indicator allows traders to leverage the CRT candlestick as a versatile tool for identifying potential market moves. This method provides beginners and seasoned traders alike with a robust framework to understand market dynamics and refine trade strategies across timeframes. Setting alerts on the higher timeframe to catch bullish or bearish CRT signals allows you to plan and execute trades on the lower timeframe, aligning your strategy with the broader market flow.
CCI Threshold StrategyThe CCI Threshold Strategy is a trading approach that utilizes the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) as a momentum indicator to identify potential buy and sell signals in financial markets. The CCI is particularly effective in detecting overbought and oversold conditions, providing traders with insights into possible price reversals. This strategy is designed for use in various financial instruments, including stocks, commodities, and forex, and aims to capitalize on price movements driven by market sentiment.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI was developed by Donald Lambert in the 1980s and is primarily used to measure the deviation of a security's price from its average price over a specified period.
The formula for CCI is as follows:
CCI=(TypicalPrice−SMA)×0.015MeanDeviation
CCI=MeanDeviation(TypicalPrice−SMA)×0.015
where:
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
SMA = Simple Moving Average of the Typical Price
Mean Deviation = Average of the absolute deviations from the SMA
The CCI oscillates around a zero line, with values above +100 indicating overbought conditions and values below -100 indicating oversold conditions (Lambert, 1980).
Strategy Logic
The CCI Threshold Strategy operates on the following principles:
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: The number of periods used to calculate the CCI. A common choice is 9, as it balances responsiveness and noise.
Buy Threshold: Typically set at -90, indicating a potential oversold condition where a price reversal is likely.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy allows for risk management through customizable stop loss and take profit points.
Entry Conditions:
A long position is initiated when the CCI falls below the buy threshold of -90, indicating potential oversold levels. This condition suggests that the asset may be undervalued and due for a price increase.
Exit Conditions:
The long position is closed when the closing price exceeds the highest price of the previous day, indicating a bullish reversal. Additionally, if the stop loss or take profit thresholds are hit, the position will be exited accordingly.
Risk Management:
The strategy incorporates optional stop loss and take profit mechanisms, which can be toggled on or off based on trader preference. This allows for flexibility in risk management, aligning with individual risk tolerances and trading styles.
Benefits of the CCI Threshold Strategy
Flexibility: The CCI Threshold Strategy can be applied across different asset classes, making it versatile for various market conditions.
Objective Signals: The use of quantitative thresholds for entry and exit reduces emotional bias in trading decisions (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974).
Enhanced Risk Management: By allowing traders to set stop loss and take profit levels, the strategy aids in preserving capital and managing risk effectively.
Limitations
Market Noise: The CCI can produce false signals, especially in highly volatile markets, leading to potential losses (Bollinger, 2001).
Lagging Indicator: As a lagging indicator, the CCI may not always capture rapid market movements, resulting in missed opportunities (Pring, 2002).
Conclusion
The CCI Threshold Strategy offers a systematic approach to trading based on well-established momentum principles. By focusing on overbought and oversold conditions, traders can make informed decisions while managing risk effectively. As with any trading strategy, it is crucial to backtest the approach and adapt it to individual trading styles and market conditions.

Price Action StrategyThe **Price Action Strategy** is a tool designed to capture potential market reversals by utilizing classic reversal candlestick patterns such as Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, and Pin Bar near dinamic support and resistance levels.
***Note to moderators
- The moving average was removed from the strategy because it was not suitable for the strategy and not participating in the entry or exit criteria.
- The moving average length has been replaced/renamed by the support/resistance lenght.
- The bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing patterns were also removed because in practice they were not working as entry criteria, since the candle price invariably closes far from the support/resistance level even considering the sensitivity range. There was no change in the backtest results after removing these patterns.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and resistance are pivotal price levels where the asset has previously struggled to move lower (support) or higher (resistance). These levels act as psychological barriers where buying interest (at support) or selling interest (at resistance) often increases, potentially causing price reversals.
- In this strategy, support is calculated as the lowest low and resistance as the highest high over a 16-period length. When the price nears these levels, it indicates possible zones for a reversal, and the strategy looks for specific candlestick patterns to confirm an entry.
2. Candlestick Patterns
- This strategy uses classic reversal patterns, including:
- **Hammer**: Indicates a buy signal, suggesting rejection of lower prices.
- **Shooting Star**: Suggests a sell signal, showing rejection of higher prices.
- **Doji**: Reflects indecision and potential reversal.
- **Pin Bar**: Represents price rejection with a long shadow, often signaling a reversal.
By combining these reversal patterns with the proximity to dinamic support or resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture potential reversal movements.
3. Sensitivity Level
- The sensitivity parameter adjusts the acceptable range (Default 0.018 = 1.8%) around support and resistance levels within which reversal patterns can trigger trades (i.e. the closing price of the candle must occur within the specified range defined by the sensitivity parameter). A higher sensitivity value expands this range, potentially leading to less accurate signals, as it may allow for more false positives.
4. Entry Criteria
- **Buy (Long)**: A Hammer, Doji, or Pin Bar pattern near support.
- **Sell (Short)**: A Shooting Star, Doji, or Pin Bar near resistance.
5. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 9.5%
- Stop loss = 16%
6. No Repainting
- The Price Action Strategy is not subject to repainting.
7. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 16% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
8. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.
9. Chart Visualization
- Support and resistance levels are displayed as green (support) and red (resistance) lines.
- Only the candlestick pattern that generated the entry signal to triger the trade is identified and labeled on the chart. During the operation, the occurrence of new Doji, Pin Bar, Hammer and Shooting Star patterns will not be demonstrated on the chart, since the exit criteria are based on percentage take profit and stop loss.

XAU/USD Strategy with Correct ADX and Bollinger Bands Fill1. *Indicators Used*:
- *Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)*: Two EMAs (20-period and 50-period) are used to identify the trend direction and potential entry points based on crossovers.
- *Relative Strength Index (RSI)*: A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It identifies overbought and oversold conditions.
- *Bollinger Bands*: These consist of a middle line (simple moving average) and two outer bands (standard deviations away from the middle). They help to identify price volatility and potential reversal points.
- *Average Directional Index (ADX)*: This indicator quantifies trend strength. It's derived from the Directional Movement Index (DMI) and helps confirm the presence of a strong trend.
- *Average True Range (ATR)*: Used to calculate position size based on volatility, ensuring that trades align with the trader's risk tolerance.
2. *Entry Conditions*:
- *Long Entry*:
- The 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA (indicating a potential bullish trend).
- The RSI is below the oversold level (30), suggesting the asset may be undervalued.
- The price is below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating potential price reversal.
- The ADX is above a specified threshold (25), confirming that there is sufficient trend strength.
- *Short Entry*:
- The 20 EMA crosses below the 50 EMA (indicating a potential bearish trend).
- The RSI is above the overbought level (70), suggesting the asset may be overvalued.
- The price is above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating potential price reversal.
- The ADX is above the specified threshold (25), confirming trend strength.
3. *Position Sizing*:
- The script calculates the position size dynamically based on the trader's risk per trade (expressed as a percentage of the total capital) and the ATR. This ensures that the trader does not risk more than the specified percentage on any single trade, adjusting the position size according to market volatility.
4. *Exit Conditions*:
- The strategy uses a trailing stop-loss mechanism to secure profits as the price moves in the trader's favor. The trailing stop is set at a percentage (1.5% by default) below the highest price reached since entry for long positions and above the lowest price for short positions.
- Additionally, if the RSI crosses back above the overbought level while in a long position or below the oversold level while in a short position, the position is closed to prevent losses.
5. *Alerts*:
- Alerts are set to notify the trader when a buy or sell condition is met based on the strategy's rules. This allows for timely execution of trades.
### Summary
This strategy aims to capture significant price movements in the XAU/USD market by combining trend-following (EMAs, ADX) and momentum indicators (RSI, Bollinger Bands). The dynamic position sizing based on ATR helps manage risk effectively. By implementing trailing stops and alert mechanisms, the strategy enhances the trader's ability to act quickly on opportunities while mitigating potential losses.
InvoTrading - Swing High and Low with BreakoutInvoTrading - Swing High and Low with Breakout Strategy
This strategy is designed to identify trading opportunities based on swing highs and lows, combined with breakout confirmations. It utilizes pivot points to detect potential reversal levels and initiates trades when the price breaks out of these levels under specific conditions.
Key Features:
- Pivot Points: The strategy calculates pivot highs and lows using customizable left and right bars. These pivots represent potential swing points in the market.
- Breakout Detection: It monitors for breakouts above pivot highs (Bullish Break of Structure - BOS) and below pivot lows (Bearish Break of Structure).
- Strong Swings (Optional): You can enable "Strong Swing" detection, which considers only those pivots where the price attempted but failed to break the pivot level, indicating stronger support or resistance.
- Trade Management: The strategy sets entry points, stop losses, and take profits based on a customizable risk-reward ratio.
- Trade Table: An optional table displays recent trades, including their status (Pending, Success, or Failed).
- Visual Aids: Customizable colors and line settings help visualize pivot points, strong swings, and breakout candles on the chart.
---
Settings:
1. Pivot Settings:
- Left Bars: Number of bars to the left of the pivot point (default: 5).
- Right Bars: Number of bars to the right of the pivot point (default: 5).
- Pivot Based On: Choose between "High/Low" or "Close" prices for pivot calculations.
2. Color Settings:
- Pivot High Color: Color for Pivot High markers (default: Blue).
- Pivot Low Color: Color for Pivot Low markers (default: Red).
- Strong Swing High Color: Color for Strong Swing High markers (default: Black).
- Strong Swing Low Color: Color for Strong Swing Low markers (default: Black).
- Breakout Candle Color (BOS): Color for the breakout candle (default: Yellow).
3. Line Settings:
- Line Width: Width of the pivot lines (default: 1).
- Line Length (Bars): Length of the pivot lines in bars (default: 20).
- Maximum Number of Lines to Keep: Limits the number of pivot lines displayed to avoid clutter (default: 100).
4. Trade Settings:
- Enable Buy and Sell Signals: Activates trade entries and exits on the chart (default: False).
- Show Trades Table: Displays a table summarizing recent trades (default: False).
- Risk-Reward Ratio: Sets the desired risk-reward ratio for trades (default: 1.5).
- Number of Trades to Display: Maximum number of recent trades shown in the table (default: 5).
- Enable Strong Trade: Only triggers trades when a "Strong Swing" is detected (default: False).
---
How It Works:
- Pivot Detection: The script identifies pivot highs and lows based on the specified number of left and right bars.
- Strong Swings: If enabled, the strategy marks a pivot as a strong swing if the price attempts to break it but closes back within the pivot level.
- Breakout Confirmation:
- Long Entry: Occurs when the price closes above a pivot high, signaling a bullish breakout. If "Strong Trade" is enabled, it must be a strong swing high.
- Short Entry: Occurs when the price closes below a pivot low, signaling a bearish breakout. If "Strong Trade" is enabled, it must be a strong swing low.
- Trade Execution: Upon a valid breakout, the strategy places a trade with a stop loss set at the previous candle's low (for longs) or high (for shorts). The take profit is calculated based on the specified risk-reward ratio.
- Trade Monitoring: The strategy updates the status of each trade (Pending, Success, Failed) based on whether the take profit or stop loss is hit.
- Visualization: Breakout candles are highlighted, and pivot lines are drawn with customizable colors and widths. Strong swings are marked distinctly.
---
Usage Tips:
- Backtesting: Before using this strategy live, backtest it on different time frames and instruments to assess its performance.
- Customization: Adjust the pivot settings and risk-reward ratio to match your trading style and the volatility of the instrument you're trading.
- Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques, even though the strategy calculates stop losses and take profits.

Strategy Description for Publishing: Nifty Scalping 3 Minutes Options on Dhan
Overview:
The Nifty Scalping 3 Minutes Options on Dhan strategy is an enhanced version tailored for trading Nifty Options, building on the core logic used in the previously published Nifty Scalping 3 Minutes Strategy. This strategy provides automated order execution via JSON alerts for seamless integration with the Dhan platform, enabling hands-free options trading.
This system is designed to capture short-term market moves using a combination of technical indicators like the Jurik Moving Average (JMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Bollinger Bands, while also allowing traders to manage risk effectively with custom inputs for maximum loss per lot and partial profit booking.
For more details on the core logic and performance of the strategy, please refer to our earlier published strategy:
Nifty Scalping 3 Minutes Strategy
Key Features:
JMA and EMA Crossovers: Trades are executed when the Jurik Moving Average (JMA) crosses over (for long trades) or under (for short trades) the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), signaling trend direction.
Price-Volume Spike Detection: Ensures that trades are executed only when significant market activity is detected, avoiding low-momentum conditions. Price-volume relationships are monitored to confirm the strength of market movements.
Bollinger Band Noise Filter: Filters out low-volatility periods by executing trades only when prices break through the upper or lower Bollinger Bands, confirming high volatility.
Customizable Risk Management: Traders can set their own maximum risk per lot (e.g., ₹650), and the strategy adjusts the stop-loss accordingly to ensure that no trade exceeds this threshold.
Partial Profit Booking: A predefined percentage (e.g., 60%) of the position can be booked as profit once the first profit target is reached, with the remaining position trailed using an ATR-based stop.
STBT/BTST Support: The strategy offers the flexibility to carry trades overnight, supporting Sell Today, Buy Tomorrow (STBT) and Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow (BTST).
Time-Based Exit: The strategy automatically closes any open positions by 3:20 PM to avoid the volatile end-of-day market conditions.
Inputs for Traders:
Option Quantity: Select the number of contracts to trade (e.g., 10).
Maximum Risk Per Lot: Set your maximum allowable loss per lot (e.g., ₹650), ensuring that your risk is managed effectively.
Partial Profit Booking Percentage: Define what percentage of your position to book as profit (e.g., 60%) when the first target is hit.
STBT/BTST Option: Choose whether to allow positions to be carried overnight.
Alert Secret Key: Input your secret key for the Dhan platform to trigger automated orders via JSON alerts.
Option Expiry Date: Specify the expiry date for the options being traded.
Trade Logic:
Long Trades: Triggered when JMA crosses above EMA, supported by filters like price-volume spikes and Bollinger Band breakouts. The strategy waits for momentum confirmation before entering long trades, with stop-loss and profit-taking mechanisms in place.
Short Trades: Triggered when JMA crosses below EMA, with confirmation through additional filters to ensure strong market trends before entering short positions.
Risk Management:
Stop-Loss: A dynamic stop-loss is placed for each trade based on the trader's maximum risk per lot. The stop-loss adapts to market conditions using ATR trailing stops to capture further gains as the trade progresses.
Partial Profit Booking: Once the first profit target is hit (2.1x risk for long trades and 2.5x risk for short trades), a percentage of the position is booked as profit, and the remainder is trailed using an ATR stop.
Automation via JSON Alerts:This strategy sends automated JSON alerts to the Dhan platform for seamless execution of orders. The alerts support multi-leg orders for both entry and exit, ensuring that trades are executed efficiently without manual intervention.
Why Use This Strategy?
The Nifty Scalping 3 Minutes Options on Dhan strategy is perfect for traders who want to capitalize on quick market moves in options, backed by strong risk management and automation. With automated alerts, customizable inputs, and advanced technical filters, this strategy is ideal for traders looking to engage in high-probability options trades with minimal effort.

Intramarket Difference Index StrategyHi Traders !!
The IDI Strategy:
In layman’s terms this strategy compares two indicators across markets and exploits their differences.
note: it is best the two markets are correlated as then we know we are trading a short to long term deviation from both markets' general trend with the assumption both markets will trend again sometime in the future thereby exhausting our trading opportunity.
📍 Import Notes:
This Strategy calculates trade position size independently (i.e. risk per trade is controlled in the user inputs tab), this means that the ‘Order size’ input in the ‘Properties’ tab will have no effect on the strategy. Why ? because this allows us to define custom position size algorithms which we can use to improve our risk management and equity growth over time. Here we have the option to have fixed quantity or fixed percentage of equity ATR (Average True Range) based stops in addition to the turtle trading position size algorithm.
‘Pyramiding’ does not work for this strategy’, similar to the order size input togeling this input will have no effect on the strategy as the strategy explicitly defines the maximum order size to be 1.
This strategy is not perfect, and as of writing of this post I have not traded this algo.
Always take your time to backtests and debug the strategy.
🔷 The IDI Strategy:
By default this strategy pulls data from your current TV chart and then compares it to the base market, be default BINANCE:BTCUSD . The strategy pulls SMA and RSI data from either market (we call this the difference data), standardizes the data (solving the different unit problem across markets) such that it is comparable and then differentiates the data, calling the result of this transformation and difference the Intramarket Difference (ID). The formula for the the ID is
ID = market1_diff_data - market2_diff_data (1)
Where
market(i)_diff_data = diff_data / ATR(j)_market(i)^0.5,
where i = {1, 2} and j = the natural numbers excluding 0
Formula (1) interpretation is the following
When ID > 0: this means the current market outperforms the base market
When ID = 0: Markets are at long run equilibrium
When ID < 0: this means the current market underperforms the base market
To form the strategy we define one of two strategy type’s which are Trend and Mean Revesion respectively.
🔸 Trend Case:
Given the ‘‘Strategy Type’’ is equal to TREND we define a threshold for which if the ID crosses over we go long and if the ID crosses under the negative of the threshold we go short.
The motivating idea is that the ID is an indicator of the two symbols being out of sync, and given we know volatility clustering, momentum and mean reversion of anomalies to be a stylised fact of financial data we can construct a trading premise. Let's first talk more about this premise.
For some markets (cryptocurrency markets - synthetic symbols in TV) the stylised fact of momentum is true, this means that higher momentum is followed by higher momentum, and given we know momentum to be a vector quantity (with magnitude and direction) this momentum can be both positive and negative i.e. when the ID crosses above some threshold we make an assumption it will continue in that direction for some time before executing back to its long run equilibrium of 0 which is a reasonable assumption to make if the market are correlated. For example for the BTCUSD - ETHUSD pair, if the ID > +threshold (inputs for MA and RSI based ID thresholds are found under the ‘‘INTRAMARKET DIFFERENCE INDEX’’ group’), ETHUSD outperforms BTCUSD, we assume the momentum to continue so we go long ETHUSD.
In the standard case we would exit the market when the IDI returns to its long run equilibrium of 0 (for the positive case the ID may return to 0 because ETH’s difference data may have decreased or BTC’s difference data may have increased). However in this strategy we will not define this as our exit condition, why ?
This is because we want to ‘‘let our winners run’’, to achieve this we define a trailing Donchian Channel stop loss (along with a fixed ATR based stop as our volatility proxy). If we were too use the 0 exit the strategy may print a buy signal (ID > +threshold in the simple case, market regimes may be used), return to 0 and then print another buy signal, and this process can loop may times, this high trade frequency means we fail capture the entire market move lowering our profit, furthermore on lower time frames this high trade frequencies mean we pay more transaction costs (due to price slippage, commission and big-ask spread) which means less profit.
By capturing the sum of many momentum moves we are essentially following the trend hence the trend following strategy type.
Here we also print the IDI (with default strategy settings with the MA difference type), we can see that by letting our winners run we may catch many valid momentum moves, that results in a larger final pnl that if we would otherwise exit based on the equilibrium condition(Valid trades are denoted by solid green and red arrows respectively and all other valid trades which occur within the original signal are light green and red small arrows).
another example...
Note: if you would like to plot the IDI separately copy and paste the following code in a new Pine Script indicator template.

Note it is possible that after printing a buy the strategy then prints many sell signals before returning to a buy, which again has the same implication (less profit. Potentially because we exit early only for price to continue upwards hence missing the larger "trend"). The image below showcases this cenario and again, by allowing our winner to run we may capture more profit (theoretically).
This should be clear...
🔸 Mean Reversion Case:
We stated prior that mean reversion of anomalies is an standerdies fact of financial data, how can we exploit this ?
We exploit this by normalizing the ID by applying the Ehlers fisher transformation. The transformed data is then assumed to be approximately normally distributed. To form the strategy we employ the same logic as for the z score, if the FT normalized ID > 2.5 (< -2.5) we buy (short). Our exit conditions remain unchanged (fixed ATR stop and trailing Donchian Trailing stop)
🔷 Position Sizing:
If ‘‘Fixed Risk From Initial Balance’’ is toggled true this means we risk a fixed percentage of our initial balance, if false we risk a fixed percentage of our equity (current balance).
Note we also employ a volatility adjusted position sizing formula, the turtle training method which is defined as follows.
Turtle position size = (1/ r * ATR * DV) * C
Where,
r = risk factor coefficient (default is 20)
ATR(j) = risk proxy, over j times steps
DV = Dollar Volatility, where DV = (1/Asset Price) * Capital at Risk
🔷 Risk Management:
Correct money management means we can limit risk and increase reward (theoretically). Here we employ
Max loss and gain per day
Max loss per trade
Max number of consecutive losing trades until trade skip
To read more see the tooltips (info circle).
🔷 Take Profit:
By defualt the script uses a Donchain Channel as a trailing stop and take profit, In addition to this the script defines a fixed ATR stop losses (by defualt, this covers cases where the DC range may be to wide making a fixed ATR stop usefull), ATR take profits however are defined but optional.
ATR SL and TP defined for all trades
🔷 Hurst Regime (Regime Filter):
The Hurst Exponent (H) aims to segment the market into three different states, Trending (H > 0.5), Random Geometric Brownian Motion (H = 0.5) and Mean Reverting / Contrarian (H < 0.5). In my interpretation this can be used as a trend filter that eliminates market noise.
We utilize the trending and mean reverting based states, as extra conditions required for valid trades for both strategy types respectively, in the process increasing our trade entry quality.
🔷 Example model Architecture:
Here is an example of one configuration of this strategy, combining all aspects discussed in this post.
Future Updates
- Automation integration (next update)
Multi-Factor StrategyThis trading strategy combines multiple technical indicators to create a systematic approach for entering and exiting trades. The goal is to capture trends by aligning several key indicators to confirm the direction and strength of a potential trade. Below is a detailed description of how the strategy works:
Indicators Used
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
MACD Line: The difference between the 12-period and 26-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
Signal Line: A 9-period EMA of the MACD line.
Usage: The strategy looks for crossovers between the MACD line and the Signal line as entry signals. A bullish crossover (MACD line crossing above the Signal line) indicates a potential upward movement, while a bearish crossover (MACD line crossing below the Signal line) signals a potential downward movement.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Usage: RSI is used to gauge the momentum of the price movement. The strategy uses specific thresholds: below 70 for long positions to avoid overbought conditions and above 30 for short positions to avoid oversold conditions.
ATR (Average True Range):
Usage: ATR measures market volatility and is used to set dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. A stop loss is set at 2 times the ATR, and a take profit at 3 times the ATR, ensuring that risk is managed relative to market conditions.
Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
50-day SMA: A short-term trend indicator.
200-day SMA: A long-term trend indicator.
Usage: The strategy uses the relationship between the 50-day and 200-day SMAs to determine the overall market trend. Long positions are taken when the price is above the 50-day SMA and the 50-day SMA is above the 200-day SMA, indicating an uptrend. Conversely, short positions are taken when the price is below the 50-day SMA and the 50-day SMA is below the 200-day SMA, indicating a downtrend.
Entry Conditions
Long Position:
-MACD Crossover: The MACD line crosses above the Signal line.
-RSI Confirmation: RSI is below 70, ensuring the asset is not overbought.
-SMA Confirmation: The price is above the 50-day SMA, and the 50-day SMA is above the 200-day SMA, indicating a strong uptrend.
Short Position:
MACD Crossunder: The MACD line crosses below the Signal line.
RSI Confirmation: RSI is above 30, ensuring the asset is not oversold.
SMA Confirmation: The price is below the 50-day SMA, and the 50-day SMA is below the 200-day SMA, indicating a strong downtrend.
Opposite conditions for shorts
Exit Strategy
Stop Loss: Set at 2 times the ATR from the entry price. This dynamically adjusts to market volatility, allowing for wider stops in volatile markets and tighter stops in calmer markets.
Take Profit: Set at 3 times the ATR from the entry price. This ensures a favorable risk-reward ratio of 1:1.5, aiming for higher rewards on successful trades.
Visualization
SMAs: The 50-day and 200-day SMAs are plotted on the chart to visualize the trend direction.
MACD Crossovers: Bullish and bearish MACD crossovers are highlighted on the chart to identify potential entry points.
Summary
This strategy is designed to align multiple indicators to increase the probability of successful trades by confirming trends and momentum before entering a position. It systematically manages risk with ATR-based stop loss and take profit levels, ensuring that trades are exited based on market conditions rather than arbitrary points. The combination of trend indicators (SMAs) with momentum and volatility indicators (MACD, RSI, ATR) creates a robust approach to trading in various market environments.
Zero-lag TEMA Crosses Strategy[Pakun]Here's the adjusted strategy description in English, aligned with the house rules:
---
### Strategy Name: Zero-lag TEMA Cross Strategy
**Purpose:** This strategy aims to identify entry and exit points in the market using Zero-lag Triple Exponential Moving Averages (TEMA). It focuses on minimizing lag and improving the accuracy of trend-following signals.
### Uniqueness and Usefulness
**Uniqueness:** This strategy employs the less commonly used Zero-lag TEMA, compared to standard moving averages. This unique approach reduces lag and provides more timely signals.
**Usefulness:** This strategy is valuable for traders looking to capture trend reversals or continuations with reduced lag. It has the potential to enhance the profitability and accuracy of trades.
### Entry Conditions
**Long Entry:**
- **Condition:** A crossover occurs where the short-term Zero-lag TEMA surpasses the long-term Zero-lag TEMA.
- **Signal:** A buy signal is generated, indicating a potential uptrend.
**Short Entry:**
- **Condition:** A crossunder occurs where the short-term Zero-lag TEMA falls below the long-term Zero-lag TEMA.
- **Signal:** A sell signal is generated, indicating a potential downtrend.
### Exit Conditions
**Exit Strategy:**
- **Stop Loss:** Positions are closed if the price moves against the trade and hits the predefined stop loss level. The stop loss is set based on recent highs/lows.
- **Take Profit:** Positions are closed when the price reaches the profit target. The profit target is calculated as 1.5 times the distance between the entry price and the stop loss level.
### Risk Management
**Risk Management Rules:**
- This strategy incorporates a dynamic stop loss mechanism based on recent highs/lows over a specified period.
- The take profit level ensures a reward-to-risk ratio of 1.5 times the stop loss distance.
- These measures aim to manage risk and protect capital.
**Account Size:** ¥500,000

IsAlgo - Manual TrendLine► Overview:
Manual TrendLine is a strategy that allows traders to manually insert a trendline and opens trades when the trendline is retested or when the price hits a new highest high or lowest low. It provides flexibility in trendline configuration and trading behavior, enabling responsive and adaptable trading strategies.
► Description:
The Manual TrendLine strategy revolves around using manually defined trendlines as the primary tool for making trading decisions. Traders start by specifying two key points on the chart to establish the trendline. Each point is defined by a specific time and price, enabling precise placement according to the trader’s analysis and insights. Additionally, the strategy allows for the adjustment of the trendline’s width, which acts as a buffer zone around the trendline, providing flexibility in how closely price movements must align with the trendline to trigger trades.
Once the trendline is established, the strategy continuously monitors price movements relative to this line. One of its core functions is to execute trades when the price retests the trendline. A retest occurs when the price approaches the trendline after initially diverging from it, indicating potential continuation of the prevailing trend. This behavior is often seen as a confirmation of the trend’s strength, and the strategy takes advantage of these moments to enter trades in the direction of the trend.
Beyond retests, the strategy also tracks the formation of new highest highs and lowest lows in relation to the trendline. When the price reaches a new highest high or lowest low, it signifies strong momentum in the trend’s direction. The strategy can be configured to open trades at these critical points.
Another key feature of the strategy is its response to trendline breaks. A break occurs when the price moves through the trendline, potentially signaling a reversal or a significant shift in market sentiment. The strategy can be set to open reverse trades upon such breaks, enabling traders to quickly adapt to changing market conditions. Additionally, traders have the option to stop opening new trades after a trendline break, helping to avoid trades during periods of uncertainty or increased volatility.
