Liquidity Sweep Breakout - LSBLiquidity Sweep Breakout - LSB
A professional session-based breakout system designed for OANDA:USDJPY and other JPY pairs.
Not guesswork, but precision - built on detailed observation of institutional moves to capture clear trade direction daily.
Master the Market’s Daily Bank Flow.
---
Strategy Detail:
I discovered this strategy after carefully studying how Japanese banks influence the forex market during their daily settlement period. Banks are some of the biggest players in the financial world, and when they adjust or settle their accounts in the morning, it often creates a push in the market. From years of observation, I noticed a consistent pattern, once banks finish their settlements, the market usually continues moving in the same direction that was formed right after those actions. This daily banking flow often sets the tone for the entire trading session, especially for JPY pairs like USDJPY.
To capture this move, I built the indicator so that it follows the bank-driven trend with clear rules for entries, stop-loss (SL), and take-profit (TP). The system is designed with professional risk management in mind. By default, it assumes a $10,000 account size, risks only 1% of that balance per trade, and targets a 1:1.5 reward-to-risk ratio. This means for every $100 risked, the potential profit is $150. Such controlled risk makes the system safer and more sustainable for long-term traders. At the same time, users are not limited to this setup, they can adjust the account balance in the settings, and the indicator will automatically recalculate the lot size and risk levels based on their own capital. This ensures the strategy works for small accounts and larger accounts alike.
🌍 Why It Works
Fundamentally driven: Based on **daily Japanese banking settlement flows**.
Session-specific precision: Targets the exact window when USDJPY liquidity reshapes.
Risk-managed: Always calculates lot size based on account and risk preferences.
Automatable: With webhook + MT5 EA, it can be fully hands-free.

🔎 Strategy Concept
The Tokyo Magic Breakout (TMB) is built on years of session observation and the unique daily rhythm of the Japanese banking system.
Every morning between 5:50 AM – 6:10 AM PKT (09:50 – 10:10 JST), Japanese banks perform daily reconciliation and settlement. This often sets the tone for the USDJPY direction of the day.
This strategy isolates that critical moment of liquidity adjustment and waits for a clean breakout confirmation. Instead of chasing noise, it executes only when price action is aligned with the Tokyo market’s hidden flows.
---
🕒 Timing Logic
Session Start: 5:00 AM PKT (Tokyo market open range).
Magic Candle: The 5:54 AM PKT candle is marked as the reference “breakout selector.”
Checkpoints: First confirmation at 6:30 AM PKT, then every 15 minutes until 8:30 AM PKT.
* If price stays inside the magic range → wait.
* If a breakout happens but the candle wick touches the range → wait for the next checkpoint.
* If by 8:30 AM PKT no clean breakout occurs → the day is marked as No Trade Day (NTD).
👉 Recommended timeframe: 3-Minute chart (3M) for precise signals.
---
📈 Trade Execution
Entry: Clean break above/below the magic candle’s range.
Stop-Loss: Opposite side of the Tokyo session high/low.
Take-Profit: Calculated by Reward\:Risk ratio (default 1.5:1).
Lot Size: Auto-calculated based on your risk model:
* Fixed Dollar
* % of Equity
* Conservative (minimum of both).
Visuals include:
✅ Entry/SL/TP lines
✅ Shaded risk (red) and reward (green) zones
✅ Trade labels (Buy/Sell with lot size & levels)

Analisis Trend
BTC H4/D1 Bollinger Breakout Momentum Robot [AlgoChadLin]The Bitcoin H4 Bollinger Breakout Momentum is a specialized trading system meticulously crafted to capture the significant, high-volatility moves characteristic of the Bitcoin market.
This strategy prioritizes a favorable risk-reward ratio, focusing on quality over quantity. Its core philosophy is to identify and ride major trend breakouts using a Bollinger Band channel combined with a weighted price channel. It aims to catch large-scale movements that can generate substantial returns, potentially building wealth with just a few successful trades.
Strategy Logic
Breakout Entry: The strategy's primary entry signals are triggered by a confirmed breakout from a consolidating market. It uses a dual-moving average channel (Bollinger Bands) to identify when price is moving from a sideways range into a clear trend. The entry order is placed with a stop mechanism, ensuring a trade is only executed when the momentum is strong and confirmed.
Weighted Price Channel: To refine entry points, the strategy uses a unique weighted price channel. This channel is derived from a custom calculation of high, low, and close prices, providing a more sensitive and dynamic measure for placing pending orders.
Dual-Layered Exits: The strategy manages trades with a dual-layered exit approach. It uses a fixed take-profit to secure large gains, reflecting the strategy's focus on big-picture moves. Additionally, a monthly close is used as a hard stop-loss, providing a robust higher-timeframe protection against major reversals.
Move-to-Breakeven: To protect capital, the strategy includes a move-to-breakeven feature. Once a position reaches a certain level of profit, the stop-loss is automatically adjusted to a breakeven point plus a small buffer, eliminating the risk of a losing trade.
Parameters
Bollinger Bands Period: Defines the lookback period for the Bollinger Bands, which helps to determine the breakout points for entry.
HMA Period: Sets the period for the Hull Moving Average, which serves as a dynamic exit signal.
Price Channel Period: Defines the lookback period for the weighted price channel, which influences the entry price.
Entry Price Multiplier: Adjusts the distance of the pending order from the weighted price channel.
Profit Target Percentage: A percentage value that sets the take-profit level based on the entry price.
Move-to-Breakeven Trigger: A value in ticks that determines when to move the stop-loss to breakeven.
Breakeven Ad
ditional Pips: A value in ticks that adds a buffer to the breakeven stop-loss.
Setup
Timeframe: H4/D1, the higher the better.
Asset: This strategy is specifically designed for Bitcoin (BTC) and its characteristic large price swings. Its focus on big-picture moves and high volatility makes it a suitable tool for capturing Bitcoin's explosive potential.

BTCUSD Daily Nexus Protocol Robot [AlgoChadLin]The BTCUSD Daily Nexus Protocol Robot is a sophisticated, multi-faceted trading system designed for the Bitcoin Daily (D1) timeframe . It operates by integrating a diverse set of technical indicators to form a robust, rule-based trading protocol. This strategy focuses on identifying high-conviction trade setups and managing them with precision.
Strategy Logic
Entry Confirmation: The strategy uses a powerful combination of multiple indicators. Entry signals are confirmed when the closing price moves relative to the VWAP, indicating a shift in momentum.
Targeted Entries: To pinpoint optimal entry points, the system utilizes Keltner Channels and Average True Range (ATR). A long entry is placed as a limit order above the upper Keltner Channel, while a short entry is set below the lower channel.
Dynamic Exits: Risk and reward are managed through a dual-layered exit approach. The strategy uses a dynamic SuperTrend value and ATR to set a trailing stop-loss, protecting capital and locking in profits. Additionally, a time-based exit and an Ichimoku signal provide alternative exit conditions to ensure positions are closed under specific market circumstances.
Parameters
VWAP Period: Defines the lookback period for the VWAP indicator.
Keltner Channel Period: Sets the period for the Keltner Channel, which helps define entry levels.
Entry ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the distance of the limit order from the Keltner Channel.
Stop-Loss ATR Period & Multiplier: Configures the dynamic stop-loss based on the SuperTrend and ATR.
Exit After Bars: Specifies the maximum duration a trade can be open.
Pending
Order Valid Bars: Determines how long a pending order remains active.

HMK-2 | PCA-1 + Rejim + Chebyshev + VWAP (Input'lu, v6)📌 HMK-2 | PCA-1 + Regime + Chebyshev + VWAP Strategy
1️⃣ Core Structure
Instead of relying on a single indicator, this system uses the Z-Score normalized average of three oscillators (RSI, MFI, ROC).
Signal (PCA-1):
RSI(14), MFI(14), ROC(5) → each is converted into a z-score.
Their average becomes the “composite signal,” our PCA-1 value.
Trend direction: If the Z-score EMA is rising → trend UP. If falling → trend DOWN.
2️⃣ Side Filters
Regime Filter (ADX + EMA)
ADX is calculated manually.
If ADX > 20 → trend exists → a 50-period EMA of this value smooths it.
This turns “trend regime” into a probability between 0–1.
Chebyshev Filter
A return series is checked against mean ± k*sigma bands.
If the return is within this band → valid signal. Extreme moves are filtered out.
VWAP Filter
Long trades: price must be above VWAP.
Short trades: price must be below VWAP.
Trades are only taken on the correct side of institutional cost averages.
3️⃣ Entry Conditions
Long:
PCA-1 signal crosses above threshold.
Trend Up + Regime OK + Chebyshev OK + Above VWAP.
Short:
PCA-1 signal crosses below threshold.
Trend Down + Regime OK + Chebyshev OK + Below VWAP.
4️⃣ Exit Mechanism
Main Exit: ATR-based stop/target.
Stop = entry price – ATR × (SL factor).
Take profit = entry price + ATR × (TP factor).
Additional Exit:
If price crosses to the opposite side of VWAP.
If PCA-1 signal crosses zero.
👉 Prevents trades from being locked, makes exits adaptive.
5️⃣ Labels / Visualization
AL / SHORT → entry points.
SAT / COVER → exit points.

💡 Final Note
This is a base model of the system — open for further development.
I’ve shared the logic to give you a roadmap.
If you spot errors, fix them → that’s how you’ll improve it.

Script_Algo - High Low Range MA Crossover Strategy🎯 Core Concept
This strategy uses modified moving averages crossover, built on maximum and minimum prices, to determine entry and exit points in the market. A key advantage of this strategy is that it avoids most false signals in trendless conditions, which is characteristic of traditional moving average crossover strategies. This makes it possible to improve the risk/reward ratio and, consequently, the strategy's profitability.
📊 How the Strategy Works
Main Mechanism
The strategy builds 4 moving averages:
Two senior MAs (on high and low) with a longer period
Two junior MAs (on high and low) with a shorter period
Buy signal 🟢: when the junior MA of lows crosses above the senior MA of highs
Sell signal 🔴: when the junior MA of highs crosses below the senior MA of lows
As seen on the chart, it was potentially possible to make 9X on the WIFUSDT cryptocurrency pair in just a year and a half. However, be careful—such results may not necessarily be repeated in the future.
Special Feature
Position closing priority ❗: if an opposite signal arrives while a position is open, the strategy first closes the current position and only then opens a new one
⚙️ Indicator Settings
Available Moving Average Types
EMA - Exponential MA
SMA - Simple MA
SSMA - Smoothed MA
WMA - Weighted MA
VWMA - Volume Weighted MA
RMA - Adaptive MA
DEMA - Double EMA
TEMA - Triple EMA
Adjustable Parameters
Senior MA Length - period for long-term moving averages
Junior MA Length - period for short-term moving averages
✅ Advantages of the Strategy
🛡️ False Signal Protection - using two pairs of modified MAs reduces the number of false entries
🔄 Configuration Flexibility - ability to choose MA type and calculation periods
⚡ Automatic Switching - the strategy automatically closes the current position when receiving an opposite signal
📈 Visual Clarity - all MAs are displayed on the chart in different colors
⚠️ Disadvantages and Risks
📉 Signal Lag - like all MA-based strategies, it may provide delayed signals during sharp movements
🔁 Frequent Switching - in sideways markets, it may lead to multiple consecutive position openings/closings
📊 Requires Optimization - optimal parameters need to be selected for different instruments and timeframes
💡 Usage Recommendations
Backtest - test the strategy's performance on historical data
Optimize Parameters - select MA periods suitable for the specific trading instrument
Use Filters - add additional filters to confirm signals
Manage Risks - always use stop-loss and take-profit orders.

Imbalance No SL📊 Strategy Name: Imbalance No SL
This strategy specially trades on price jumps (true imbalances) in the market, takes advantage of momentum only, and as soon as the opposite signal and profit is received, the trade is closed immediately.
Imbalance No SL strategy specially generates buy and sell signals based on "Imbalance" logic, without any fixed Stop Loss.
🔍 Core Logic
Imbalance Detection
Bullish Imbalance : When the low of the current candle is above the high of the previous candle.
(i.e. a jump type gap occurred in the market – demand is high, price went straight up)
Bearish Imbalance : When the high of the current candle is below the low of the previous candle.
(i.e. the market suddenly fell down)
Creating Visual Box and Label on Signal:
As soon as bullish imbalance is found, green box & IMB BULL label is displayed on the chart.
Bearish has red box & IMB BEAR label.
Trade Entry Logic
BUY on Bullish Imbalance: If there is already a buy or neutral position, then a new “BUY” signal will fire.
SELL on Bearish Imbalance: If already in sell or neutral position, then new “SELL” signal will fire.
You can set quantity/lot size from ‘qty’ input field.
Trade Average Calculation
Buy/Sell maintains average price and their count (so that if averaging is done then correct P&L is calculated).
Trade Exit Logic (Profit Booking/Signal Reverse)
If your buy is going on and bearish imbalance is formed + price is above your average, then buy will be closed (profit condition).
If sell is going on and bullish imbalance is formed + price is below average, then sell will be closed.
Chart Cleaning/Management
Only keep the label and box of the latest signal on the chart, old boxes/labels are automatically deleted.
Alert
You can get alert on bullish or bearish signal (by using alert feature of TradingView).
✅ Simple Explanation for User
This strategy buys or sells directly at the gap (imbalance).
Whenever there is a clear signal of momentum in the market (breakout of the gap), then the trade entry takes place.
When there is an imbalance in the opposite direction and profit is made, the system closes the trade (closes).
There is no fixed stop-loss, risk management is handled by trade averaging/close.
You will know at every point on the visually chart that at which bar the buy, sell and exit took place.
⚠️ What to remember?
If the market is in trend then this script gives very good signals.
In choppy/sideways market, some loss trades can also come because there is no SL.
Big profit or big loss – both depend on the imbalance signal and market speed.
Instant Breakout Strategy with RSI & VWAPInstant Breakout Strategy with RSI & VWAP
This TradingView strategy (Pine Script v6) trades breakouts using pivot points, with optional filters for volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP. It’s optimized for the 1-second timeframe.
Overview
The strategy identifies breakouts when price crosses above resistance (pivot highs) or below support (pivot lows). It can use basic pivot breakouts or add filters for stronger signals. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are set using ATR, and signals are shown on the chart.
Inputs
Left/Right Pivot Bars: Bars to detect pivots (default: 3). Lower values increase sensitivity.
Volume Surge Multiplier: Volume threshold vs. 20-period average (default: 1.5).
Momentum Threshold: Minimum % price change from bar open (default: 1%).
Take-Profit ATR Multiplier: ATR multiplier for take-profit (default: 9.0).
Stop-Loss ATR Multiplier: ATR multiplier for stop-loss (default: 1.0).
Use Filters: Enable/disable volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP filters (default: off).
How It Works
1. Pivot Detection
Finds pivot highs (resistance) and lows (support) using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow.
Tracks the latest pivot levels.
2. Volume Surge
Compares current volume to a 20-period volume average.
A surge occurs if volume exceeds the average times the multiplier.
3. Momentum
Measures price change from the bar’s open.
Bullish: Price rises >1% from open.
Bearish: Price falls >1% from open.
4. RSI and VWAP
RSI: 3-period RSI. Above 50 is bullish; below 50 is bearish.
VWAP: Price above VWAP is bullish; below is bearish.
5. ATR
14-period ATR sets take-profit (close ± atr * 9.0) and stop-loss (close ± atr * 1.0).
Trading Rules
Breakout Conditions
Bullish Breakout:
Price crosses above the latest pivot high.
With filters: Volume surge, bullish momentum, RSI > 50, price > VWAP.
Without filters: Only the crossover is needed.
Bearish Breakout:
Price crosses below the latest pivot low.
With filters: Volume surge, bearish momentum, RSI < 50, price < VWAP.
Without filters: Only the crossunder is needed.
Entries and Exits
Long: Enter on bullish breakout. Set take-profit and stop-loss. Close any short position.
Short: Enter on bearish breakout. Set take-profit and stop-loss. Close any long position.
Visuals
Signals: Green triangles (bullish) below bars, red triangles (bearish) above bars.
Pivot Levels: Green line (resistance), red line (support).
Indicators: RSI (blue, separate pane), VWAP (purple, on chart).
How to Use
Apply to a 1-second chart in TradingView for best results.
Adjust inputs (e.g., pivot bars, multipliers). Enable filters for stricter signals.
Watch for buy/sell triangles and monitor RSI/VWAP.
Use ATR-based take-profit/stop-loss for risk management.
Notes
Best on 1-second timeframe due to fast RSI and responsiveness.
Disable filters for more signals (less confirmation).
Backtest before live trading to check performance.
This strategy uses pivots, volume, momentum, RSI, and VWAP for clear breakout trades on the 1-second timeframe.

Pivot Distance Strategy# Multi-Timeframe Pivot Distance Strategy
## Core Innovation & Originality
This strategy revolutionizes moving average crossover trading by applying MA logic to **pivot distance relationships** instead of raw price data. Unlike traditional MA crossovers that react to price changes, this system reacts to **structural momentum changes** in how current price relates to recent significant pivot levels, creating earlier signals with fewer false positives.
## Methodology & Mathematical Foundation
### Pivot Distance Oscillator
The strategy calculates:
- **High Pivot Percentage**: (Current Close / Last Pivot High) × 100
- **Low Pivot Percentage**: (Last Pivot Low / Current Close) × 100
- **Pivot Distance**: High Pivot Percentage - Low Pivot Percentage
This creates a standardized oscillator measuring market structure compression/expansion regardless of asset price or volatility.
### Multi-Timeframe Filter
Higher timeframe analysis provides directional bias:
- **HTF Long** → Allow long entries, force short exits
- **HTF Short** → Allow short entries, force long exits
- **HTF Squeeze** → Block all entries, force all exits
## Signal Generation Methods
### Method 1: Dual MA Crossover (Primary/Default)
**Fast MA (14 EMA)** and **Slow MA (50 SMA)** applied to pivot distance values:
- **Long Signal**: Fast MA crosses above Slow MA (accelerating bullish pivot momentum)
- **Short Signal**: Fast MA crosses below Slow MA (accelerating bearish pivot momentum)
**Key Advantage**:
- Traditional: Fast MA(price) crosses Slow MA(price) - reacts to price changes
- This Strategy: Fast MA(pivot distance) crosses Slow MA(pivot distance) - reacts to structural changes
- Result: Earlier signals, better trend identification, fewer ranging market whipsaws
### Method 2: MA Cross Zero
- **Long**: Pivot Distance MA crosses above zero
- **Short**: Pivot Distance MA crosses below zero
### Method 3: Pivot Distance Breakout (Squeeze-Based)
Uses dynamic threshold envelopes to detect compression/expansion cycles:
- **Long**: Distance breaks above dynamic breakout threshold after squeeze
- **Short**: Distance breaks below negative breakout threshold after squeeze
**Note**: Only the Breakout method uses threshold envelopes; MA Cross modes operate without them for cleaner signals.
## Risk Management Integration
- **ATR-Based Stops**: Entry ± (ATR × Multiplier) for stops/targets
- **Trailing Stops**: Dynamic adjustment based on profit thresholds
- **Cooldown System**: Prevents overtrading after stop-loss exits
## How to Use
### Setup (Default: MA Cross MA)
1. **Strategy Logic**: "MA Cross MA" for structural momentum signals
2. **MA Settings**: 14 EMA (fast) / 50 SMA (slow) - both adjustable
3. **Multi-Timeframe**: Enable HTF for trend alignment
4. **Risk Management**: ATR stop loss, ATR take profit
### Signal Interpretation
- **Blue/Purple lines**: Fast/Slow MAs of pivot distance
- **Green/Red histogram**: Positive/negative pivot distance
- **Triangle markers**: MA crossover entry signals
- **HTF display**: Shows higher timeframe bias (top-left)
### Trade Management
- **Entry**: Clean MA crossover with HTF alignment
- **Exit**: Opposite crossover, HTF change, or risk management triggers
## Unique Advantages
1. **Structural vs Price Momentum**: Captures market structure changes rather than just price movement, naturally filtering noise
2. **Multi-Modal Flexibility**: Three signal methods for different market conditions or strategies
3. **Timeframe Alignment**: HTF filtering improves win rates by preventing counter-trend trades
Aura Trail Bitcoin H1 StrategyAuraTrail Bitcoin H1 Strategy is a meticulously crafted trend-following system designed for the Bitcoin H1 timeframe. It leverages powerful candlestick patterns and robust trailing stop logic to identify and capitalize on sustained market movements, while actively managing risk.
Strategy Logic
Signal Identification: The strategy's core is based on classic reversal candlestick patterns: the Hammer for bullish entry signals and the Shooting Star for bearish signals. It waits for the confirmation of these patterns on the previous bar.
Long Entry: A long trade is initiated when a confirmed Hammer pattern appears. The entry is placed as a pending order at the high of the previous day, aiming to enter the trade only if the bullish momentum continues.
Short Entry: A short trade is triggered upon a confirmed Shooting Star pattern. The entry is a pending order at the low of the previous day, designed to capture further downside movement.
Risk Management: The initial stop-loss is calculated based on the previous day's open and bar range. The strategy then uses a dynamic Trailing Stop based on a combination of short-term (45-period) and long-term (95-period) Average True Range (ATR) to lock in profits as the trade moves favorably.
Money Management: Position size is dynamically adjusted based on a configurable multiplier, which can be tailored to manage pyramiding or scaling into a position, ensuring controlled risk exposure.
Parameters
Initial Lots: Defines the starting position size for the first trade.
Lot Multiplier: Adjusts position size for subsequent entries in a pyramiding sequence.
Trailing Stop Coefficient: A multiplier for ATR to set the trailing stop distance.
Trailing Activation Coefficient: A multiplier for ATR to determine when the trailing stop becomes active.
Profit Target %: Defines a percentage gain for profit-taking.
Setup
Timeframe: 1-Hour (H1)
Asset: Bitcoin, also suitable for other volatile assets with clear candlestick patterns and trending behavior.

1. **Price Action**: Looks for price interaction with key support/resistance levels
2. **Volume Confirmation**: Ensures sufficient market interest and liquidity
3. **Trend Alignment**: Optional filter prevents counter-trend positions
4. **Time Validation**: Only trades during user-defined optimal periods
5. **Zone Analysis**: Entry occurs within calculated buffer zones around key levels
### Risk Management Philosophy
FlowState Trader employs a three-tier risk management approach:
1. **Initial Protection**: ATR-based stop losses set at strategy entry
2. **Profit Preservation**: Trailing stops activate once position becomes profitable
3. **Scaled Exit**: Partial profit-taking allows for both security and potential
### Time-Based Edge
The time filtering system recognizes that not all trading hours are equal:
- Avoids low-volume, high-spread periods
- Focuses on optimal liquidity windows
- Prevents trading during news events (lunch hours)
- Allows customization for different market sessions
