Turtle Trader StrategyTurtle Trader Strategy :
Introduction :
This strategy is based on the well known « Turtle Trader Strategy », that has proven itself over the years. It sends long and short signals with pyramid orders of up to 5, meaning that the strategy can trigger up to 5 orders in the same direction. Good risk and money management.
It's important to note that the strategy combines 2 systems working together (S1 and S2). Let’s describe the specific features of this strategy.
1/ Position size :
Position size is very important for turtle traders to manage risk properly. This position sizing strategy adapts to market volatility and to account (gains and losses). It’s based on ATR (Average True Range) which can also be called « N ». Its length is per default 20.
ATR(20) = (previous_atr(20)*19 + actual_true_range)/20
The number of units to buy is :
Unit = 1% * account/(ATR(20)*dollar_per_point)
where account is the actual account value and dollar_per_point is the variation in dollar of the asset with a 1 point move.
Depending on your risk aversion, you can increase the percentage of your account, but turtle traders default to 1%. If you trade contracts, units must be rounded down by default.
There is also an additional rule to reduce the risk if the value of the account falls below the initial capital : in this case and only in this case, account in the unit formula must be replace by :
account = actual_account*actual_account/initial capital
2/ Open a position :
2 systems are working together :
System 1 : Entering a new 20 day breakout
System 2 : Entering a new 55 day breakout
A breakout is a new high or new low. If it’s a new high, we open long position and vice versa if it’s a new low we enter in short position.
We add an additional rule :
System 1 : Breakout is ignored if last long/short position was a winner
System 2 : All signals are taken
This additional rule allows the trader to be in the major trends if the system 1 signal has been skipped. If a signal for system 1 has been skipped, and next candle is also a new 20 day breakout, S1 doesn’t give a signal. We have to wait S2 signal or wait for a candle that doesn’t make a new breakout to reactivate S1.
3/ Pyramid orders :
Turtle Strategy allows us to add extra units to the position if the price moves in our favor. I've configured the strategy to allow up to 5 orders to be added in the same direction. So if the price varies from 0.5*ATR(20) , we add units with the position size formula. Note that the value of account will be replaced by "remaining_account", i.e. the cash remaining in our account after subtracting the value of open positions.
4/ Stop Loss :
We set a stop loss at 1.5*ATR(20) below the entry price for longs and above the entry price for shorts. If pyramid units are added, the stop is increased/decreased by 0.5*ATR(20). Note that if SL is configured for a loss of more than 10%, we set the SL to 10% for the first entry order to avoid big losses. This configuration does not work for pyramid orders as SL moves by 0.5*ATR(20).
5/ Exit signals :
System 1 :
Exit long on a 10 day low
Exit short on a 10 day high
System 2 :
Exit long on a 20 day low
Exit short on a 20 day high
6/ What types of orders are placed ?
To enter in a position, stop orders are placed meaning that we place orders that will be automatically triggered by the signal at the exact breakout price. Stop loss and exit signals are also stop orders. Pyramid orders are market orders which will be triggered at the opening of the next candle to avoid repainting.
PARAMETERS :
Risk % of capital : Percentage used in the position size formula. Default is 1%
ATR period : ATR length used to calculate ATR. Default is 20
Stop ATR : Parameters used to fix stop loss. Default is 1.5 meaning that stop loss will be set at : buy_price - 1.5*ATR(20) for long and buy_price + 1.5*ATR(20) for short. Turtle traders default is 2 but 1.5 is better for cryptocurrency as there is a huge volatility.
S1 Long : System 1 breakout length for long. Default is 20
S2 Long : System 2 breakout length for long. Default is 55
S1 Long Exit : System 1 breakout length to exit long. Default is 10
S2 Long Exit : System 2 breakout length to exit long. Default is 20
S1 Short : System 1 breakout length for short. Default is 15
S2 Short : System 2 breakout length for short. Default is 55
S1 Short Exit : System 1 breakout length to exit short. Default is 7
S2 Short Exit : System 2 breakout length to exit short. Default is 20
Initial capital : $1000
Fees : Interactive Broker fees apply to this strategy. They are set at 0.18% of the trade value.
Slippage : 3 ticks or $0.03 per trade. Corresponds to the latency time between the moment the signal is received and the moment the order is executed by the broker.
Pyramiding : Number of orders that can be passed in the same direction. Default is 5.
Important : Turtle traders don't trade crypto. For this specific asset type, I modify some parameters such as SL and Short S1 in order to maximize return while limiting drawdown. This strategy is the most optimal on BINANCE:BTCUSD in 1D timeframe with the parameters set per default. If you want to use this strategy for a different crypto please adapt parameters.
NOTE :
It's important to note that the first entry order (long or short) will be the largest. Subsequent pyramid orders will have fewer units than the first order. We've set a maximum SL for the first order of 10%, meaning that you won't lose more than 10% of the value of your first order. However, it is possible to lose more on your pyramid orders, as the SL is increased/decreased by 0.5*ATR(20), which does not secure a loss of more than 10% on your pyramid orders. The risk remains well managed because the value of these orders is less than the value of the first order. Remain vigilant to this small detail and adjust your risk according to your risk aversion.
Enjoy the strategy and don’t forget to take the trade :)

Contrarian DC Strategy - w Entry SL Pause and TrailingStopDonchian Channel Setup:
The strategy uses a tool called the Donchian Channel. Imagine this as two lines (bands) on a chart that show the highest and lowest prices over a certain number of past trading days (default is 20 days).
There's also a centerline, which is the average of these two bands.
Entry Conditions for Trades:
Buying (Going Long): The strategy considers buying when the price touches or falls below the lower band of the Donchian Channel. However, this only happens if there has been a pause after a previous losing trade. This pause is a number of candles where no new trades are taken.
Selling (Going Short): Similarly, the strategy considers selling when price reaches or exceeds the upper band of the Donchian Channel. Again, this is subject to a pause after a losing trade.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Each trade has a "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit" set. The Stop Loss is a preset price level where the trade will close to prevent further losses if the market moves against your position. The Take Profit does the same but locks in profit if the market moves in your favor.
The Stop Loss is set based on a percentage of the price at which you entered the trade.
The Take Profit is determined by the Risk/Reward Ratio. This ratio helps balance how much you're willing to risk versus the potential reward.
Trailing Stop Loss:
When a trade is profitable, the strategy should involve a "Trailing Stop Loss." This means the Stop Loss level moves (or trails) the price movement to lock in profits as the market moves in your favor.
For a buy trade, if the price moves above the centerline of the Donchian Channel, the Trailing Stop Loss should be adjusted in the middle between the entry price and the centerline. Viceversa for a sell trade, it should be adjusted in the same way if the price goes below the centerline.
IMPORTANT: There's no allert for the trailing stop at the moment.
Post-Stop Loss Pause:
If a trade hits the Stop Loss (i.e., it's a losing trade), the strategy takes a break before opening another trade in the same direction. This pause helps to avoid entering another trade immediately in a potentially unfavorable market.
In summary, this strategy is designed to make trades based on the Donchian Channel, with specific rules for when to enter and exit trades, and mechanisms to manage risk and protect profits. It's contrarian because it tends to buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high, which is opposite to what many traders might do.
Narrow Range StrategyNarrow Range Strategy :
INTRODUCTION :
This strategy is based on the Narrow Range Day concept, implying that low volatility will generate higher volatility in the days ahead. The strategy sends us buy and sell signals with well-defined profit targets. It's a medium/long-term strategy. There's also a money management method that allows us to reinvest part of the profits or reduce the size of orders in the event of substantial losses.
NARROW RANGE (NR) DAY :
A Narrow Range Day is a day in which price variations are included in those of a specific day some time before. The high and low of this specific day form the "reference range". In general, we compare these variations with those of 4 or 7 days ago. The mathematical formula for finding an NR4 is :
If low > low(4) and high < high(4) :
nr = true
This implies that the current low is greater than the low of 4 days ago, and the current high is smaller than the high of 4 days ago. So today's volatility is lower than that of 4 days ago, and may be a sign of high volatility to come.
PARAMETERS :
Narrow Range Length : Corresponds to the number of candles back to compare current volatility. The default is 4, allowing comparison of current volatility with that of 4 candles ago.
Stop Loss : Percentage of the reference range on which to set an exit order to limit losses. The minimum value is 0.001, while the maximum is 1. The default value is 0.35.
Fixed Ratio : This is the amount of gain or loss at which the order quantity is changed. The default is 400, which means that for each $400 gain or loss, the order size is increased or decreased by an amount chosen by the user.
Increasing Order Amount : This is the amount to be added to or subtracted from orders when the fixed ratio is reached. The default is $200, which means that for every $400 gain, $200 is reinvested in the strategy. On the other hand, for every $400 loss, the order size is reduced by $200.
Initial capital : $1000
Fees : Interactive Broker fees apply to this strategy. They are set at 0.18% of the trade value.
Slippage : 3 ticks or $0.03 per trade. Corresponds to the latency time between the moment the signal is received and the moment the order is executed by the broker.
Important : A bot was used to test NR4 and NR7 with all possible Stop Losses in order to find out which combination generates the highest return on BITSTAMP:ETHUSD while limiting the drawdown. This strategy is the most optimal with an NR4 and a SL of 35% of the reference range size in 5D timeframe.
BUY AND SHORT SIGNALS :
When an NR is spotted, we create two stop orders on the high and low of the reference range. As soon as there's a breakout from this reference range (shown in blue on the chart), we open a position. We're LONG if there's a breakout on the high and SHORT if there's a breakout on the low. Executing a stop order cancels the second stop order.
RISK MANAGEMENT :
This strategy is subject to losses. We manage our risk with Stop Losses. The user is free to enter a SL as a percentage of the reference range. The maximum amount risked per trade therefore depends on the size of the range. The larger the range, the greater the risk. That's why we have set a maximum Stop Loss to 10% to limiting risks per trade.
The special feature of this strategy is that it targets a precise profit objective. This corresponds to the size of the reference range at the top of the high if you're LONG, or at the bottom of the low if you're short. In the same way, the larger the reference range, the greater the potential profits.
The risk reward remains the same for all trades and amounts to : 100/35 = 2.86. If the reference range is too high, we have set a SL to 10% of the trade value to limit losses. In that case, the risk reward is less than 2.86.
MONEY MANAGEMENT :
The fixed ratio method was used to manage our gains and losses. For each gain of an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we increase the order size by a value defined by the user in the "Increasing order amount" parameter. Similarly, each time we lose an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we decrease the order size by the same user-defined value. This strategy increases both performance and drawdown.
NOTE :
Please note that the strategy is backtested from 2017-01-01. As the timeframe is 5D, this strategy is a medium/long-term strategy. That's why only 37 trades were closed. Be careful, as the test sample is small and performance may not necessarily reflect what may happen in the future.
Enjoy the strategy and don't forget to take the trade :)

Risk Management: Implements a fixed dollar stop loss and restricts the number of trades per session to control exposure.
█ FEATURES
Customizable Stop Loss: Set your preferred stop loss amount to manage risk effectively.
Trade Session Configuration: Define the trading hours to focus on the most active market periods.
Entry Conditions: Enter long positions when the price breaks above the highest close in the lookback window and the ADX indicates potential trend strength.
Trade Limits: Restrict the number of trades per session to maintain disciplined trading.
Automated Exit: Automatically closes all positions at the end of the trading session to avoid overnight risk.
█ HOW TO USE
Configure Inputs :
Stop Loss ($): Set the maximum loss per trade.
Trade Session: Define the active trading hours.
Highest Lookback Window: Specify the number of bars to consider for the highest close.
Apply the Strategy :
Add the ADX Breakout strategy to your chart on TradingView.

Rsi Long-Term Strategy [15min]Hello, I would like to present to you The "RSI Long-Term Strategy" for 15min tf
The "RSI Long-Term Strategy " is designed for traders who prefer a combination of momentum and trend-following techniques. The strategy focuses on entering long positions during significant market corrections within an overall uptrend, confirmed by both RSI and volume. The use of long-term SMAs ensures that trades are made in line with the broader market trend. The stop-loss feature provides risk management by limiting losses on trades that do not perform as expected. This strategy is particularly well-suited for longer-term traders who monitor 15-minute charts but look for substantial trend reversals or continuations.
Indicators and Parameters:
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
- The RSI is calculated using a 10-period length. It measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. The script defines oversold conditions when the RSI is at or below 30 and overbought conditions when the RSI is at or above 70.
Volume Condition:
-The strategy incorporates a volume condition where the current volume must be greater than 2.5 times the 20-period moving average of volume. This is used to confirm the strength of the price movement.
Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
- The strategy uses two SMAs: SMA1 with a length of 250 periods and SMA2 with a length of 500 periods. These SMAs help identify long-term trends and generate signals based on their crossover.
Strategy Logic:
Entry Logic:
A long position is initiated when all the following conditions are met:
The RSI indicates an oversold condition (RSI ≤ 30).
SMA1 is above SMA2, indicating an uptrend.
The volume condition is satisfied, confirming the strength of the signal.
Exit Logic:
The strategy closes the long position when SMA1 crosses under SMA2, signaling a potential end of the uptrend (a "Death Cross").
Stop-Loss:
A stop-loss is set at 5% below the entry price to manage risk and limit potential losses.
Buy and sell signals are highlighted with circles below or above bars:
Green Circle : Buy signal when RSI is oversold, SMA1 > SMA2, and the volume condition is met.
Red Circle : Sell signal when RSI is overbought, SMA1 < SMA2, and the volume condition is met.
Black Cross: "Death Cross" when SMA1 crosses under SMA2, indicating a potential bearish signal.
to determine the level of stop loss and target point I used a piece of code by RafaelZioni, here is the script from which a piece of code was taken
I hope the strategy will be helpful, as always, best regards and safe trades

[TTI] High Volume Close (HVC) Setup📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
The High Volume Close (HVC) Setup is a specialised indicator designed for the TradingView platform used to identify specific bar. This tool was developed with the objective of identifying a technical pattern that trades have claimed is significant trading opportunities through a unique blend of volume analysis and price action strategies. It is based on the premise that high-volume bars, when combined with specific price action criteria, can signal key market movements.
The HVC is applicable both for swing and longer term trading and as a technical tool it can be used by traders of any asset type (stocks, ETF, crypto, forex etc).
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
The uniqueness of the HVC Setup lies in its flexibility to determine an important price level based on historically important bar. The idea is to identify significant bars (e.g. those who have created the HIGHEST VOLUME: Ever, Yearly, Quarterly and meet additional criteria from the settings) and plot on the chart the close on that day as a significant level as well as theoretical stop loss and target levels. This approach allows traders to discern high volume bars that are contextually significant — a method not commonly found in standard trading tools.
🎯 ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
The HVC Setup indicator performs a series of calculations to identify high volume close bars/bar (HVC bars) based on the user requirements.
These bars are determined based on the highest volume recorded within a user-inputs:
👉 Period (Ever, Yearly, Quarterly) and must meet additional criteria such as:
👉 a minimum percentage Price Change (change is calculated based on a close/close) and
👉 specific Closing Range requirements for the HVC da.
The theory is that this is a significant bar that is important to know where it is on the chart.
The script includes a comparative analysis of the HVC bar's price against historical price highs (all-time, yearly, quarterly), which provides further context and significance to the identified bars. All of these USER input requirement are then taken into account as a condition to identity the High Volume Close Bar (HVC).
The visual representation includes color-coded bar (default is yellow) and lines to delineate these key trading signals. It then draws a blue line for the place where the close ofthe bar is, a red line that would signify a stop loss and 2 target profit levels equal to 2R and 3R of the risked level (close-stop loss). Additional lines can be turned on/off with their coresponding checkboxes in the settings.
If the user chooses "Ever" for Period - the script will look at the first available bar ever in Tradingview - this is generally the IPO bar;
If the users chooses "Yearly" - the script would look at the highest available bar for a completed year;
If the users chooses "Quarterly" - it would do the same for the quarter. (works on daily timeframe only);
While we have not backtested the performance of the script, this methodology has been widely publicised.
🛠️ ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
To utilize the HVC Setup effectively:
👉Customize Input Settings: Choose the HVC period, percentage change threshold, closing range, stop loss distance, and target multiples according to your trading strategy. Use the tick boxes to enable and disable if a given condition is used within the calculation.
👉Identify HVC Bars: The script highlights HVC bars, indicating potential opportunities based on volume and price action analysis.
👉Interpret Targets and Stop Losses: Use the color-coded lines (green for targets, red for stop losses) to guide your trade entries and exits.
👉Contextual Analysis: Always consider the HVC bar signals in conjunction with overall market trends and additional technical indicators for comprehensive trading decisions.
This script is designed to assist traders in identifying high-potential trading setups by using a combination of volume and price analysis, enhancing traditional methods with a unique, algorithmically driven approach.
Supertrend, MA 44|6, EMA FIBS 13|21|34I have this indicator based on my strategy. This indicator is based on existing functions available in the system. I haven't added anything new. This indicator uses Supertrend, MA44|6, EMA fibs 13|21|34 combining to find a profitable trade.
- Supertrend : Indicator uses supertrend strategy with default ATR period of 10 and Factor value 3. These values can be customized based on your preferences. Uptrend is denoted by green color and downtrend by red color. You can change the colors based on your preferences.
- MA 44|6: Indicator plots moving averages of 44 and 6. These values can be customized based on your preferences. Although it is highly recommended to keep 44 as is. Value 6 can be adjusted based on your preference. Default color for uptrend is green and for downtrend is red. You can change the colors based on your preferences.
- FIBS EMA 13|21|34: Indicator plots EMA of fibbonacci numbers 13, 21,34 to identify consolidation and breakout. The periods can be adjusted but it is highly recommended not to do so. Default colors for 13,21 and 34 is Aqua, Blue and Navy respectively. You can change the colors based on your preferences.
When to take trade?
To take a trade all conditions needs to be fulfilled.
Supertrend : Always take a trade in the direction of Supertrend. It is always advisable to take trade if the trend is changing or price is taking support of resistance.
MA 44|6: Moving average 44 indicates average price of 44 last candles and 6 for last 6 candles. Price crossing MA 44 indicates change in trend. It is advisable to take trade at crossing the line above or below. If many candles closing near MA 44 then it indicates consolidation. The more far the candle closes from MA44 the better. MA 6 is used to identify when to enter or exit the trade. If candle closes away from MA 6 then you can wait for candle to start near the MA 6 line. If candle closes above/below MA 6 you can exit your trade.
Fibonacci 13|21|34: When all lines are closed it indicates consolidation. When price breakouts to either direction you can take a trade in that direction with following conditions.
Bullish Trade:
When to enter?
If candle closed above MA 44, Supertrend is uptrend and EMA Fibs are moving away and are above MA 44. The price is near to MA 6 line then you can enter into bullish trade. If price is away from MA 6 then you should wait until the price/line comes near to avoid loss.
When to exit?
Price moving in opposite direction:
You should set a stop loss when you enter the trade. The stop loss can be set below the low of the previous candle or any other strategy you have. But it is really important to set the stop loss. If price moves in opposite direction then your stop loss will hit and you will be out of the trade.
Price moving in same direction:
Once you enter the trade you can exit based on two conditions whichever suits you.
1. Exit the trade if candle closes below MA6. The drawback is you may exit too early. You can also adjust the period based on your preferences.
2. Exit the trade if candle closed below low of previous candle. The drawback is you may book less profit but you can capture the movement very well.
Bearish Trade:
When to enter?
If candle closed below MA 44, Supertrend is downtrend and EMA Fibs are moving away and are below MA 44. The price is near to MA 6 line then you can enter into bearish trade. If price is away from MA 6 then you should wait until the price/line comes near to avoid loss.
When to exit?
Price moving in opposite direction:
You should set a stop loss when you enter the trade. The stop loss can be set below the low of the previous candle or any other strategy you have. But it is really important to set the stop loss. If price moves in opposite direction then your stop loss will hit and you will be out of the trade.
Price moving in same direction:
Once you enter the trade you can exit based on two conditions whichever suits you.
1. Exit the trade if candle closes below MA6. The drawback is you may exit too early. You can also adjust the period based on your preferences.
2. Exit the trade if candle closed below low of previous candle. The drawback is you may book less profit but you can capture the movement very well.
When not to take trade?
1. If MA 44 is completely horizontal and EMA Fibs are very close to each other. This indicates that the market is consolidated and if you enter the trade you may hit stop loss very often.
Note: Please note that I am not expert and I don't take any responsibility of your profits or losses. I have created this indicator based on my knowledge and it is for study purpose. Use of this indicator is totally your responsibility. Use all your knowledge and expertise and don't totally depend on the indicator. Don't forget to use stop loss and do money management.
Happy Trading!
FVG Visual Trading ToolHow to Use the FVG Tool
1. Identify the FVG Zone
Bullish FVG: Look for green boxes that represent potential support zones. These are areas where price is likely to retrace before continuing upward.
Bearish FVG: Look for red boxes that represent potential resistance zones. These are areas where price is likely to retrace before continuing downward.
2. Set Up Your Trade
Entry: Place a limit order at the retracement zone (inside the FVG box). This ensures you enter the trade when the price retraces into the imbalance.
Stop-Loss (SL): Place your stop-loss just below the FVG box for bullish trades or just above the FVG box for bearish trades. The tool provides a suggested SL level.
Take-Profit (TP): Set your take-profit level at a 2:1 risk-reward ratio (or higher). The tool provides a suggested target level.
3. Let the Trade Run
Once your trade is set up, let it play out. Avoid micromanaging the trade unless market conditions change drastically.
Step-by-Step Example
Bullish FVG Trade
Identify the FVG:
A green box appears, indicating a bullish FVG.
The tool provides the target price (e.g., 0.6371) and the stop-loss level (e.g., 0.6339).
Set Up the Trade:
Place a limit buy order at the retracement zone (inside the green box).
Set your stop-loss just below the FVG box (e.g., 0.6339).
Set your take-profit at a 2:1 risk-reward ratio or the suggested target (e.g., 0.6371).
Monitor the Trade:
Wait for the price to retrace into the FVG zone and trigger your limit order.
Let the trade run until it hits the take-profit or stop-loss.
Bearish FVG Trade
Identify the FVG:
A red box appears, indicating a bearish FVG.
The tool provides the target price and the stop-loss level.
Set Up the Trade:
Place a limit sell order at the retracement zone (inside the red box).
Set your stop-loss just above the FVG box.
Set your take-profit at a 2:1 risk-reward ratio or the suggested target.
Monitor the Trade:
Wait for the price to retrace into the FVG zone and trigger your limit order.
Let the trade run until it hits the take-profit or stop-loss.
Key Features of the Tool in Action
Visual Clarity:
The green and red boxes clearly show the FVG zones, making it easy to identify potential trade setups.
Labels provide the target price and stop-loss level for quick decision-making.
Risk-Reward Management:
The tool encourages disciplined trading by providing predefined SL and TP levels.
A 2:1 risk-reward ratio ensures that profitable trades outweigh losses.
Hands-Off Execution:
By placing limit orders, you can let the trade execute automatically without needing to monitor the market constantly.
Best Practices
Trade in the Direction of the Trend:
Use higher timeframes (e.g., 4-hour or daily) to identify the overall trend.
Focus on bullish FVGs in an uptrend and bearish FVGs in a downtrend.
Combine with Confirmation Signals:
Look for additional confirmation, such as candlestick patterns (e.g., engulfing candles) or indicator signals (e.g., RSI, MACD).
Adjust Parameters for Volatility:
For highly volatile markets, consider increasing the stop-loss percentage to avoid being stopped out prematurely.
Avoid Overtrading:
Not every FVG is a good trading opportunity. Be selective and only trade setups that align with your strategy.
Backtest and Optimize:
Use historical data to test the tool and refine your approach before trading live.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Entering Without Confirmation:
Wait for price to retrace into the FVG zone before entering a trade.
Avoid chasing trades that have already moved away from the zone.
Ignoring Risk Management:
Always use a stop-loss to protect your account.
Stick to a consistent risk-reward ratio.
Trading Against the Trend:
Avoid taking trades that go against the prevailing market trend unless there is strong evidence of a reversal.
Final Thoughts
The FVG Visual Trading Tool is a powerful aid for identifying high-probability trade setups. By following the steps outlined above, you can use the tool to trade with confidence and discipline. Remember, no tool guarantees success, so always combine it with sound trading principles and proper risk management
Sunil 2 Bar Breakout StrategyDetailed Explanation of the Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy
Introduction
The Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy is a simple yet effective price-action-based approach designed to identify breakout opportunities in financial markets. This strategy analyzes the movement of the last three candles to detect momentum and initiates trades in the direction of the breakout. It is equipped with a built-in stop-loss mechanism to protect capital, making it suitable for traders looking for a structured and disciplined trading system.
The strategy works well across different timeframes and asset classes, including indices, stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. Its versatility makes it ideal for both intraday and swing trading.
Core Concept
The strategy revolves around two primary conditions: breakout identification and risk management.
Breakout Identification:
Long Trade Setup: The strategy identifies bullish breakouts when:
The current candle's closing price is higher than the previous candle's closing price.
The high of the previous candle is greater than the highs of the two candles before it.
Short Trade Setup: The strategy identifies bearish breakouts when:
The current candle's closing price is lower than the previous candle's closing price.
The low of the previous candle is lower than the lows of the two candles before it.
Risk Management:
Stop-Loss: For each trade, a stop-loss is automatically set:
For long trades, the stop-loss is set to the low of the previous candle.
For short trades, the stop-loss is set to the high of the previous candle.
This ensures that losses are minimized if the breakout fails.
Exit Logic:
The trade is closed automatically when the stop-loss is hit.
This approach maintains discipline and prevents emotional trading.
Strategy Workflow
Entry Criteria:
Long Entry: A long trade is triggered when:
The current close is greater than the previous close.
The high of the previous candle exceeds the highs of the two candles before it.
Short Entry: A short trade is triggered when:
The current close is less than the previous close.
The low of the previous candle is below the lows of the two candles before it.
Stop-Loss Placement:
For long trades, the stop-loss is set at the low of the previous candle.
For short trades, the stop-loss is set at the high of the previous candle.
Trade Management:
Trades are exited automatically if the stop-loss level is hit.
The strategy avoids re-entering trades until new breakout conditions are met.
Default Settings
Position Sizing:
The default position size is set to 1% of the account equity. This ensures proper risk management and prevents overexposure to the market.
Stop-Loss:
Stop-loss levels are automatically calculated based on the previous candle’s high or low.
Timeframes:
The strategy is versatile and works across multiple timeframes. However, it is recommended to test it on 15-minute, 1-hour, and daily charts for optimal performance.
Key Features
Automated Trade Execution:
The strategy handles both trade entry and exit automatically based on pre-defined conditions.
Built-In Risk Management:
The automatic stop-loss placement ensures losses are minimized on failed breakouts.
Works Across Markets:
The strategy is compatible with a wide range of instruments, including indices, stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
Clear Signals:
Entry and exit points are straightforward and based on objective conditions, reducing ambiguity.
Versatility:
Can be used for both day trading and swing trading, depending on the chosen timeframe.
Best Practices for Using This Strategy
Backtesting:
Test the strategy on your chosen instrument and timeframe using TradingView's Strategy Tester to evaluate its performance.
Market Conditions:
The strategy performs best in trending markets or during periods of high volatility. Avoid using it in range-bound or choppy markets.
Position Sizing:
Use the default position size (1% of equity) or adjust based on your risk tolerance and account size.
Instrument Selection:
Focus on instruments with good liquidity and volatility, such as indices (e.g., NIFTY, BANKNIFTY), forex pairs, or major cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
Potential Enhancements
To make the strategy even more robust, consider adding the following optional features:
Stop-Loss Multiplier:
Allow users to customize the stop-loss distance as a multiple of the default level (e.g., 1.5x the low or high of the previous candle).
Take-Profit Levels:
Add user-defined take-profit levels, such as a fixed risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
Time Filter:
Include an option to restrict trading to specific market hours (e.g., avoid low-liquidity times).
Conclusion
The Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy is an excellent tool for traders looking to capitalize on breakout opportunities while maintaining disciplined risk management. Its simplicity, combined with its effectiveness, makes it suitable for traders of all experience levels. By adhering to the clearly defined rules, traders can achieve consistent results while avoiding emotional trading decisions.
This strategy is a reliable addition to any trader’s toolbox and is designed to work seamlessly across different market conditions and instruments.
RSI Trend Following StrategyOverview
The RSI Trend Following Strategy utilizes Relative Strength Index (RSI) to enter the trade for the potential trend continuation. It uses Stochastic indicator to check is the price is not in overbought territory and the MACD to measure the current price momentum. Moreover, it uses the 200-period EMA to filter the counter trend trades with the higher probability. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Two layers trade filtering system: Strategy utilizes MACD and Stochastic indicators measure the current momentum and overbought condition and use 200-period EMA to filter trades against major trend.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level script activates the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Wide opportunities for strategy optimization: Flexible strategy settings allows users to optimize the strategy entries and exits for chosen trading pair and time frame.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
RSI is above 50 level.
MACD line shall be above the signal line
Both lines of Stochastic shall be not higher than 80 (overbought territory)
Candle’s low shall be above the 200 period EMA
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with trailing EMA(by default = 20 period). If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 1.75)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 2.25)
MACD Fast Length (by default = 12, period of averaging fast MACD line)
MACD Fast Length (by default = 26, period of averaging slow MACD line)
MACD Signal Smoothing (by default = 9, period of smoothing MACD signal line)
Oscillator MA Type (by default = EMA, available options: SMA, EMA)
Signal Line MA Type (by default = EMA, available options: SMA, EMA)
RSI Length (by default = 14, period for RSI calculation)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20, period for EMA, which shall be broken close the trade after trailing profit activation)
Justification of Methodology
This trading strategy is designed to leverage a combination of technical indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Stochastic Oscillator, and the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA)—to determine optimal entry points for long trades. Additionally, the strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) for dynamic risk management to adapt to varying market conditions. Let's look in details for which purpose each indicator is used for and why it is used in this combination.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis to measure the speed and change of price movements in a financial market. It helps traders identify whether an asset is potentially overbought (overvalued) or oversold (undervalued), which can indicate a potential reversal or continuation of the current trend.
How RSI Works? RSI tracks the strength of recent price changes. It compares the average gains and losses over a specific period (usually 14 periods) to assess the momentum of an asset. Average gain is the average of all positive price changes over the chosen period. It reflects how much the price has typically increased during upward movements. Average loss is the average of all negative price changes over the same period. It reflects how much the price has typically decreased during downward movements.
RSI calculates these average gains and losses and compares them to create a value between 0 and 100. If the RSI value is above 70, the asset is generally considered overbought, meaning it might be due for a price correction or reversal downward. Conversely, if the RSI value is below 30, the asset is considered oversold, suggesting it could be poised for an upward reversal or recovery. RSI is a useful tool for traders to determine market conditions and make informed decisions about entering or exiting trades based on the perceived strength or weakness of an asset's price movements.
This strategy uses RSI as a short-term trend approximation. If RSI crosses over 50 it means that there is a high probability of short-term trend change from downtrend to uptrend. Therefore RSI above 50 is our first trend filter to look for a long position.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular momentum and trend-following indicator used in technical analysis. It helps traders identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in an asset's price.
The MACD consists of three components:
MACD Line: This is the difference between a short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a long-term EMA, typically calculated as: MACD Line = 12 period EMA − 26 period EMA
Signal Line: This is a 9-period EMA of the MACD Line, which helps to identify buy or sell signals. When the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line, it can be a bullish signal (suggesting a buy); when it crosses below, it can be a bearish signal (suggesting a sell).
Histogram: The histogram shows the difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line, visually representing the momentum of the trend. Positive histogram values indicate increasing bullish momentum, while negative values indicate increasing bearish momentum.
This strategy uses MACD as a second short-term trend filter. When MACD line crossed over the signal line there is a high probability that uptrend has been started. Therefore MACD line above signal line is our additional short-term trend filter. In conjunction with RSI it decreases probability of following false trend change signals.
The Stochastic Indicator is a momentum oscillator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specific period. It's used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 80 indicating overbought conditions and readings below 20 indicating oversold conditions.
It consists of two lines:
%K: The main line, calculated using the formula (CurrentClose−LowestLow)/(HighestHigh−LowestLow)×100 . Highest and lowest price taken for 14 periods.
%D: A smoothed moving average of %K, often used as a signal line.
This strategy uses stochastic to define the overbought conditions. The logic here is the following: we want to avoid long trades in the overbought territory, because when indicator reaches it there is a high probability that the potential move is gonna be restricted.
The 200-period EMA is a widely recognized indicator for identifying the long-term trend direction. The strategy only trades in the direction of this primary trend to increase the probability of successful trades. For instance, when the price is above the 200 EMA, only long trades are considered, aligning with the overarching trend direction.
Therefore, strategy uses combination of RSI and MACD to increase the probability that price now is in short-term uptrend, Stochastic helps to avoid the trades in the overbought (>80) territory. To increase the probability of opening long trades in the direction of a main trend and avoid local bounces we use 200 period EMA.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements.

ChartArt-Bankniftybuying5minName: ChartArt-BankNifty Buying Strategy (5-Minute)
Timeframe: 5-Minute Candles
Asset: BankNifty (Indian Stock Market Index)
Trading Hours: 9:30 AM - 2:45 PM IST (Indian Standard Time)
This strategy is designed for BankNifty intraday traders who want to capitalize on short-term price movements within a defined trading window. It combines technical indicators like Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and candlestick patterns to identify potential buy signals during intraday downtrends. The strategy employs specific entry, stop-loss, and target conditions to manage trades effectively and minimize risk.
Technical Indicators Used
Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
EMA7: 7-period SMA on closing price.
EMA5: 5-period SMA on closing price.
Purpose: Used to identify the intraday trend by comparing short-term moving averages. The strategy focuses on situations where the market is in a minor downtrend, indicated by EMA5 being below EMA7.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI14: 14-period RSI, a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
SMA14: 14-period SMA of the RSI.
Purpose: RSI is used to identify potential reversal points. The strategy looks for situations where the RSI is below its own moving average, suggesting weakening momentum in the downtrend.
Candlestick Patterns:
Relaxed Hammer or Doji (2nd Candle): A pattern where the second candle in a 3-candle sequence shows a potential reversal signal (Hammer or Doji), indicating indecision or a potential turning point.
Bearish 1st Candle: The first candle is bearish, setting up the context for a potential reversal.
Bullish 3rd Candle: The third candle must be bullish with specific characteristics (closing near the high, surpassing the previous high), confirming the reversal.
Strategy Conditions
Time Condition:
The strategy is only active during specific hours (9:30 AM to 2:45 PM IST). This ensures that trades are only taken during the most liquid hours of the trading day, avoiding potential volatility or lack of liquidity towards market close.
Intraday Downtrend Condition:
EMA5 < EMA7: Indicates that the market is in a minor downtrend. The strategy looks for reversal opportunities within this trend.
RSI Condition:
RSI14 <= SMA14: Indicates that the current RSI value is below its 14-period SMA, suggesting potential weakening momentum, which can precede a reversal.
Candlestick Patterns:
1st Candle: Must be bearish, setting up the context for a potential reversal.
2nd Candle: Must either be a Hammer or Doji, indicating a potential reversal pattern.
3rd Candle: Must be bullish, with specific characteristics (closing near the high, breaking the previous high, etc.), confirming the reversal.
RSI Crossover Condition:
A crossover of the RSI over its SMA in the last 5 periods is also checked, adding further confirmation to the reversal signal.
Entry and Exit Rules
Entry Signal:
A buy signal is generated when all the conditions (time, intraday downtrend, bearish 1st candle, hammer/doji 2nd candle, bullish 3rd candle, and RSI condition) are met. The trade is entered at the high of the bullish third candle.
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is calculated based on the difference between the entry price and the low of the second candle. If this difference is greater than 90 points, the stop loss is placed at the midpoint of the second candle's range (average of high and low). Otherwise, it is placed at the low of the second candle.
Target 1:
The first target is set at 1.8 times the difference between the entry price and the stop loss. When this target is hit, half of the position is exited to lock in partial profits.
Target 2:
The second target is set at 3 times the difference between the entry price and the stop loss. The remaining position is exited at this point, or if the price hits the stop loss.
Originality and Usefulness
This strategy is original in its combination of multiple technical indicators and candlestick patterns to identify potential reversals in a specific intraday timeframe. By focusing on minor downtrends and utilizing a 3-candle reversal pattern, the strategy seeks to capture quick price movements with a structured approach to risk management.
Key Benefits:
High Precision: The strategy’s multi-step filtering process (time condition, trend confirmation, candlestick pattern analysis, and momentum evaluation via RSI) increases the likelihood of accurate trade signals.
Risk Management: The use of a dynamic stop-loss based on candle characteristics, combined with partial profit-taking, allows traders to lock in profits while still giving the trade room to develop further.
Structured Approach: The strategy provides a clear, rule-based system for entering and exiting trades, which can help remove emotional decision-making from the trading process.
Charts and Signals
The strategy produces signals in the form of labels on the chart:
Buy Signal: A green label is plotted below the candle that meets all entry conditions, indicating a potential buy opportunity.
Stop Loss (SL): A red dashed line is drawn at the stop-loss level with a label indicating "SL".
Target 1 (1st TG): A blue dashed line is drawn at the first target level with a label indicating "1st TG".
Target 2 (2nd TG): Another blue dashed line is drawn at the second target level with a label indicating "2nd TG".
These visual aids help traders quickly identify entry points, stop loss levels, and target levels on the chart, making the strategy easy to follow and implement.
Backtesting and Optimization
Backtesting: The strategy can be backtested on TradingView using historical data to evaluate its performance. Traders should consider testing across different market conditions to ensure the strategy's robustness.
Optimization: Parameters such as the RSI period, moving averages, and target multipliers can be optimized based on backtesting results to refine the strategy further.
Conclusion
The ChartArt-BankNifty Buying Strategy offers a well-rounded approach to intraday trading, focusing on capturing reversals in minor downtrends. With a strong emphasis on technical analysis, precise entry and exit rules, and robust risk management, this strategy provides a solid framework for traders looking to engage in intraday trading on BankNifty.

1. Divergence Detection (Core Signal Logic)
The strategy’s core is its ability to detect bullish and bearish divergences between price and On-Balance Volume (OBV), pinpointing reversals with surgical accuracy.
How It Works:
Price Slope: Uses linear regression over a lookback (default: 9 bars) to measure price momentum (priceSlope).
OBV Slope: OBV tracks volume flow (+volume if price rises, -volume if falls), with its slope calculated similarly (obvSlope).
Bullish Divergence: Price slope negative (falling), OBV slope positive (rising), and price above 50-bar SMA (trend_ma).
Bearish Divergence: Price slope positive (rising), OBV slope negative (falling), and price below 50-bar SMA.
Smoothing: Requires two consecutive divergence bars (bullDiv2, bearDiv2) to confirm signals, reducing false positives.
Strength: Divergence intensity (divStrength = |priceSlope * obvSlope| * sensitivity) is normalized (0–1, divStrengthNorm) for visuals.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Divergences catch hidden momentum shifts, often exploited by institutions, giving you an edge on reversals.
- The 50-bar SMA filter aligns signals with the broader trend, avoiding choppy markets.
- Adjustable lookback (min: 3) and sensitivity (default: 1.0) let you tune for different instruments or timeframes.
2. Filters for Precision
Four advanced filters ensure signals are high-probability and market-aligned, cutting through the noise of volatile futures.
Z-Score Filter:
Logic: Calculates z-score ((close - SMA) / stdev) over a lookback (default: 50 bars). Blocks entries if |z-score| > threshold (default: 1.5) unless disabled (useZFilter = false).
Impact: Avoids trades during extreme price moves (e.g., blow-off tops), keeping you in statistically safe zones.
ATR Percentile Volatility Filter:
Logic: Tracks 14-bar ATR in a 100-bar window (default). Requires current ATR > 80th percentile (percATR) to trade (tradeOk).
Impact: Ensures sufficient volatility for meaningful moves, filtering out low-volume chop.
Multi-Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Logic: Uses a 50-bar SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 60min). Longs require price > HTF MA (bullTrendOK), shorts < HTF MA (bearTrendOK).
Impact: Aligns trades with the bigger trend, reducing counter-trend losses.
US Session Filter:
Logic: Restricts trading to 9:30am–4:00pm ET (default: enabled, useSession = true) using America/New_York timezone.
Impact: Focuses on high-liquidity hours, avoiding overnight spreads and erratic moves.
Evolution:
- These filters create a robust signal pipeline, ensuring trades are timed for optimal conditions.
- Customizable inputs (e.g., zThreshold, atrPercentile) let traders adapt to their style without compromising quality.
3. Risk Management
The strategy’s risk controls are a masterclass in balancing aggression and safety, protecting capital in volatile markets.
Daily Loss Kill Switch:
Logic: Tracks daily loss (dayStartEquity - strategy.equity). Halts trading if loss ≥ $300 (default) and enabled (killSwitch = true, killSwitchActive).
Impact: Caps daily downside, crucial during events like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
Rolling Drawdown Kill Switch:
Logic: Monitors drawdown (rollingPeak - strategy.equity) over 100 bars (default). Stops trading if > $1000 (rollingKill).
Impact: Prevents prolonged losing streaks, preserving capital for better setups.
Dynamic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * multiplier (default: 1.0x, stopDist). TPs = entry ± ATR * 1.5x (profitDist). Longs: stop below, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Adapts to volatility, keeping stops tight but realistic, with TPs targeting 1.5:1 reward/risk.
Max Bars in Trade:
Logic: Closes trades after 8 bars (default) if not already exited.
Impact: Frees capital from stagnant trades, maintaining efficiency.
Kill Switch Buffer Dashboard:
Logic: Shows smallest buffer ($300 - daily loss or $1000 - rolling DD). Displays 0 (red) if kill switch active, else buffer (green).
Impact: Real-time risk visibility, letting traders adjust dynamically.
Why It’s Brilliant:
- Kill switches and ATR-based exits create a safety net, rare in generic scripts.
- Customizable risk inputs (maxDailyLoss, dynamicStopMult) suit different account sizes.
- Buffer metric empowers disciplined trading, a DAFE signature.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are precise, filtered, and adaptive, ensuring trades are deliberate and profitable.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: bullDiv2, cooldown passed (canSignal), ATR filter passed (tradeOk), in US session (inSession), no kill switches (not killSwitchActive, not rollingKill), z-score OK (zOk), HTF trend bullish (bullTrendOK), no existing long (lastDirection != 1, position_size <= 0). Closes shorts first.
Short Entry: Same, but for bearDiv2, bearTrendOK, no long (lastDirection != -1, position_size >= 0). Closes longs first.
Adaptive Cooldown: Default 2 bars (cooldownBars). Doubles (up to 10) after a losing trade, resets after wins (dynamicCooldown).
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Set per trade (ATR-based). Exits on stop/TP hits.
Other Exits: Closes if maxBarsInTrade reached, ATR filter fails, or kill switch activates.
Position Management: Ensures no conflicting positions, closing opposites before new entries.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Multi-filtered entries minimize false signals, a stark contrast to basic scripts.
- Adaptive cooldown prevents overtrading, especially after losses.
- Clean position handling ensures smooth execution, even in fast markets.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are a DAFE hallmark, blending function with clean flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Aurora Bands:
Display: Bands around price during divergences (bullish: below low, bearish: above high), sized by ATR * bandwidth (default: 0.5).
Colors: Aqua (bullish), fuchsia (bearish), with transparency tied to divStrengthNorm.
Purpose: Highlights divergence zones with a glowing, futuristic vibe.
Divergence Orbs:
Display: Large/small circles (aqua below for bullish, fuchsia above for bearish) when bullDiv2/bearDiv2 and canSignal. Labels show strength (0–1).
Purpose: Pinpoints entries with eye-catching clarity.
Gradient Background:
Display: Green (bullish), red (bearish), or gray (neutral), 90–95% transparent.
Purpose: Sets the market mood without clutter.
Strategy Plots:
- Stop/TP Lines: Red (stops), green (TPs) for active trades.
- HTF MA: Yellow line for trend context.

Keltner Channel StrategyOverview
The Keltner Channel Strategy is a powerful trend-following and mean-reversion system that leverages the Keltner Channels, EMA crossovers, and ATR-based stop-losses to optimize trade entries and exits. This strategy has proven to be highly effective, particularly when applied to Gold (XAUUSD) and other commodities with strong trend characteristics.
📈 How It Works
This strategy incorporates two trading approaches: 1️⃣ Keltner Channel Reversal Trades – Identifies overbought and oversold conditions when price touches the outer bands.
2️⃣ Trend Following Trades – Uses the 9 EMA & 21 EMA crossover, with confirmation from the 50 EMA, to enter trades in the direction of the trend.
🔍 Entry & Exit Criteria
📊 Keltner Channel Entries (Reversal Strategy)
✅ Long Entry: When the price crosses below the lower Keltner Band (potential reversal).
✅ Short Entry: When the price crosses above the upper Keltner Band (potential reversal).
⏳ Exit Conditions:
Long positions close when price crosses back above the mid-band (EMA-based).
Short positions close when price crosses back below the mid-band (EMA-based).
📈 Trend Following Entries (Momentum Strategy)
✅ Long Entry: When the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA, and price is above the 50 EMA (bullish momentum).
✅ Short Entry: When the 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA, and price is below the 50 EMA (bearish momentum).
⏳ Exit Conditions:
Long positions close when the 9 EMA crosses back below the 21 EMA.
Short positions close when the 9 EMA crosses back above the 21 EMA.
📌 Risk Management & Profit Targeting
ATR-based Stop-Losses:
Long trades: Stop set at 1.5x ATR below entry price.
Short trades: Stop set at 1.5x ATR above entry price.
Take-Profit Levels:
Long trades: Profit target 2x ATR above entry price.
Short trades: Profit target 2x ATR below entry price.

SL Hunting Detector📌 Step 1: Identify Liquidity Zones
The script plots high-liquidity zones (red) and low-liquidity zones (green).
These are areas where big players target stop-losses before reversing the price.
Example:
If price is near a red liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal downward.
If price is near a green liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal upward.
📌 Step 2: Watch for Stop-Loss Hunts (Fakeouts)
The indicator marks stop-loss hunts with red (bearish) or green (bullish) arrows.
When do stop-loss hunts occur?
✅ A long wick below support (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal upward.
✅ A long wick above resistance (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal downward.
Confirmation:
Volume must spike (volume > 1.5x the average volume).
ATR-based wicks must be longer than usual (showing a stop-hunt trap).
📌 Step 3: Enter a Trade After a Stop-Hunt
🔹 Bullish Trade (Buying a Dip)
If a green arrow appears (stop-hunt below support):
✅ Enter a long (buy) trade at or just above the wick’s recovery level.
✅ Stop-loss: Below the wick’s low (avoid getting hunted again).
✅ Take-profit: Next resistance level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
🔹 Bearish Trade (Shorting a Fakeout)
If a red arrow appears (stop-hunt above resistance):
✅ Enter a short (sell) trade at or just below the wick’s rejection level.
✅ Stop-loss: Above the wick’s high (avoid getting stopped out).
✅ Take-profit: Next support level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
📌 Step 4: Set Alerts & Automate
✅ The indicator triggers alerts when a stop-hunt is detected.
✅ You can set TradingView to notify you instantly when:
A bullish stop-hunt occurs → Look for long entry.
A bearish stop-hunt occurs → Look for short entry.
📌 Example Trade Setup
Example (BTC Long Trade on Stop-Hunt)
BTC is near $40,000 support (green liquidity zone).
A long wick drops to $39,800 with a green arrow (bullish stop-hunt signal).
Volume spikes, and price recovers quickly back above $40,000.
Trade entry: Buy at $40,050.
Stop-loss: Below wick ($39,700).
Take-profit: $41,500 (next resistance).
Result: BTC pumps, stop-loss remains safe, and trade profits.
🔥 Final Tips
Always wait for confirmation (don’t enter blindly on signals).
Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H) for better accuracy.
Combine with Order Flow tools (like Bookmap) to see real liquidity zones.

Trend Signals with TP & SL [UAlgo] StrategyThe "Trend Signals with TP & SL Strategy" is a trading strategy designed to capture trend continuation signals while incorporating sophisticated risk management techniques. This strategy is tailored for traders who wish to capitalize on trending market conditions with precise entry and exit points, automatically calculating Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels based on either Average True Range (ATR) or percentage values. The strategy aims to enhance trade management by preventing multiple simultaneous positions and dynamically adapting to changing market conditions.
This strategy is highly configurable, allowing traders to adjust sensitivity, the ATR calculation method, and the cloud moving average length. Additionally, the strategy can display buy and sell signals directly on the chart, along with visual representation of entry points, stop losses, and take profits. It also features a cloud-based trend analysis using a MACD-driven color fill that indicates the strength and direction of the trend.
🔶 Key Features
Configurable Trend Continuation Signals:
Source Selection: The strategy uses the midpoint of the high-low range as the default source, but it is adjustable.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the trend signals can be adjusted using a multiplier, ranging from 0.5 to 5.
ATR Calculation: The strategy allows users to choose between two ATR calculation methods for better adaptability to different market conditions.
Cloud Moving Average: Traders can adjust the cloud moving average length, which is used in conjunction with MACD to provide a visual trend indication.
Take Profit & Stop Loss Management:
ATR-Based or Percent-Based: The strategy offers flexibility in setting TP and SL levels, allowing traders to choose between ATR-based multipliers or fixed percentage values.
Dynamic Adjustment: TP and SL levels are dynamically adjusted according to the selected method, ensuring trades are managed based on real-time market conditions.
Prevention of Multiple Positions:
Single Position Control: To reduce risk and enhance strategy reliability, the strategy includes an option to prevent multiple positions from being opened simultaneously.
Visual Trade Indicators:
Buy/Sell Signals: Clearly displays buy and sell signals on the chart for easy interpretation.
Entry, SL, and TP Lines: Draws lines for entry price, stop loss, and take profit directly on the chart, helping traders to monitor trades visually.
Trend Cloud: A color-filled cloud based on MACD and the cloud moving average provides a visual cue of the trend’s direction and strength.
Performance Summary Table:
In-Chart Statistics: A table in the top right of the chart displays key performance metrics, including total trades, wins, losses, and win rate percentage, offering a quick overview of the strategy’s effectiveness.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Trend Signals: The strategy identifies trend continuation signals based on price action relative to an ATR-based threshold. A buy signal is generated when the price crosses above a key level, indicating an uptrend. Conversely, a sell signal occurs when the price crosses below a level, signaling a downtrend.
Cloud Visualization: The cloud, derived from MACD and moving averages, changes color to reflect the current trend. A positive cloud in aqua suggests an uptrend, while a red cloud indicates a downtrend. The transparency of the cloud offers further nuance, with more solid colors denoting stronger trends.
Entry and Exit Management: Once a trend signal is generated, the strategy automatically sets TP and SL levels based on your chosen method (ATR or percentage). The stop loss and take profit lines will appear on the chart, showing where the strategy will exit the trade. If the price reaches either the SL or TP, the trade is closed, and the respective line is deleted from the chart.
Performance Metrics: The strategy’s performance is tracked in real-time with an in-chart table. This table provides essential information about the number of trades executed, the win/loss ratio, and the overall win rate. This information helps traders assess the strategy's effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.
This strategy is designed for those who seek to engage with trending markets, offering robust tools for entry, exit, and overall trade management. By understanding and leveraging these features, traders can potentially improve their trading outcomes and risk management.

Underlying Principles and Assumptions
Leverage Calculation
The leverage calculation is fundamental to risk management in trading. It ensures that the risk per trade does not exceed a specified percentage of the portfolio. This calculation takes into account the potential loss from the entry price to the stop loss level, adjusted for trading fees. By dividing the maximum acceptable loss by the total potential loss (including fees), we derive a leverage that limits the exposure per trade. This approach helps traders avoid over-leveraging, which can lead to significant losses.
ATR and Stop Loss
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to set stop loss levels because it measures market volatility. A higher ATR indicates more volatility, which means wider stop losses are needed to avoid being prematurely stopped out by normal market fluctuations. By using an ATR multiplier, the stop loss is dynamically adjusted based on current market conditions, providing a more robust risk management strategy.
Take Profit Calculation
The take profit level is calculated as a multiple of the ATR, ensuring that it is set at a realistic level relative to market volatility. This method aims to capture significant price movements while avoiding the noise of smaller fluctuations. Setting take profit targets this way helps in locking in profits when the market moves favorably.
RSI for Trend Confirmation
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is used to confirm the trend direction. An RSI above 50 typically indicates a bullish trend, while an RSI below 50 indicates a bearish trend. By aligning trades with the prevailing trend, the script increases the probability of successful trades. This trend confirmation helps in making informed decisions about leverage and position sizing.
Risk Color Coding
The script uses color coding to visually indicate the risk level and trend direction. Green indicates a favorable condition for long trades, red for short trades, and gray for neutral conditions. This intuitive color coding aids in quickly assessing the market conditions and making timely trading decisions.
Conclusion
This script aims to provide a comprehensive risk management tool for traders. By integrating portfolio size, leverage, fees, ATR, and RSI, it helps in making informed trading decisions. We hope you find this tool useful in your trading journey.
Happy Trading!

Nifty 50 5mint Strategy
The script defines a specific trading session based on user inputs. This session is specified by a time range (e.g., "1000-1510") and selected days of the week (e.g., Monday to Friday). This session definition is crucial for trading only during specific times.
Lookback and Breakout Conditions:
The script uses a lookback period and the highest high and lowest low values to determine potential breakout points. The lookback period is user-defined (default is 10 periods).
The script also uses Bollinger Bands (BB) to identify potential breakout conditions. Users can enable or disable BB crossover conditions. BB consists of an upper and lower band, with the basis.
Additionally, the script uses Dema (Double Exponential Moving Average) and VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) . Users can enable or disable this condition.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Buy conditions are met when the close price exceeds the highest high within the specified lookback period, Bollinger Bands conditions are satisfied, Dema-VWAP conditions are met, and the script is within the defined trading session.
Sell conditions are met when the close price falls below the lowest low within the lookback period, Bollinger Bands conditions are satisfied, Dema-VWAP conditions are met, and the script is within the defined trading session.
When either condition is met, it triggers a "long" or "short" position entry.
Trailing Stop Loss (TSL):
Users can choose between fixed points ( SL by points ) or trailing stop (Profit Trail).
For fixed points, users specify the number of points for the stop loss. A fixed stop loss is set at a certain distance from the entry price if a position is opened.
For Profit Trail, users can enable or disable this feature. If enabled, the script uses a "trail factor" (lookback period) to determine when to adjust the stop loss.
If the price moves in the direction of the trade and reaches a certain level (determined by the trail factor), the stop loss is adjusted, trailing behind the price to lock in profits.
If the close price falls below a certain level (lowest low within the trail factor(lookback)), and a position is open, the "long" position is closed (strategy.close("long")).
If the close price exceeds a certain level (highest high within the specified trail factor(lookback)), and a position is open, the "short" position is closed (strategy.close("short")).
Positions are also closed if they are open outside of the defined trading session.
Background Color:
The script changes the background color of the chart to indicate buy (green) and sell (red) signals, making it visually clear when the strategy conditions are met.
In summary, this script implements a breakout trading strategy with various customizable conditions, including Bollinger Bands, Dema-VWAP crossovers, and session-specific rules. It also includes options for setting stop losses and trailing stop losses to manage risk and lock in profits. The "trail factor" helps adjust trailing stops dynamically based on recent price movements. Positions are closed under certain conditions to manage risk and ensure compliance with the defined trading session.
CE=Buy, CE_SL=stoploss_buy, tCsl=Trailing Stop_buy.
PE=sell, PE_SL= stoploss_sell, tpsl=Trailing Stop_sell.
Remember that trading involves inherent risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Exercise caution, manage risk diligently, and consider the advice of financial experts when using this script or any trading strategy.
