ACR(Average Candle Range) With TargetsWhat is ACR?
The Average Candle Range (ACR) is a custom volatility metric that calculates the mean distance between the high and low of a set number of past candles. ACR focuses only on the actual candle range (high - low) of specific past candles on a chosen timeframe.
This script calculates and visualizes the Average Candle Range (ACR) over a user-defined number of candles on a custom timeframe. It displays a table of recent range values, plots dynamic bullish and bearish target levels, and marks the start of each new candle with a vertical line. All calculations update in real time as price action develops. This script was inspired by the “ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily Range Meter°” by toodegrees.
Key Features
Custom Timeframe Selection: Choose any timeframe (e.g., 1D, 4H, 15m) for analysis.
User-Defined Lookback: Calculate the average range across 1 to 10 previous candles.
Dynamic Targets:
Bullish Target: Current candle low + ACR.
Bearish Target: Current candle high – ACR.
Live Updates: Targets adjust intrabar as highs or lows change during the current candle.
Candle Start Markers: Vertical lines denote the open of each new candle on the selected timeframe.
Floating Range Table:
Displays the current ACR value.
Lists individual ranges for the previous five candles.
Extend Target Lines: Choose to extend bullish and bearish target levels fully across the screen.
Global Visibility Controls: Toggle on/off all visual elements (targets, vertical lines, and table) for a cleaner view.
How It Works
At each new candle on the user-selected timeframe, the script:
Draws a vertical line at the candle’s open.
Recalculates the ACR based on the inputted previous number of candles.
Plots target levels using the current candle's developing high and low values.
Limitation
Once the price has already moved a full ACR in the opposite direction from your intended trade, the associated target loses its practical value. For example, if you intended to trade long but the bearish ACR target is hit first, the bullish target is no longer a reliable reference for that session.
Use Case
This tool is designed for traders who:
Want to visualize the average movement range of candles over time.
Use higher or lower timeframe candles as structural anchors.
Require real-time range-based price levels for intraday or swing decision-making.
This script does not generate entry or exit signals. Instead, it supports range awareness and target projection based on historical candle behavior.
Key Difference from Similar Tools
While this script was inspired by “ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily Range Meter°” by toodegrees, it introduces a major enhancement: the ability to customize the timeframe used for calculating the range. Most ADR or candle-range tools are locked to a single timeframe (e.g., daily), but this version gives traders full control over the analysis window. This makes it adaptable to a wide range of strategies, including intraday and swing trading, across any market or asset.
Ketidakstabilan
EMA Channel with ATR Offset + 2 Custom EMAsJust an alternative channel indicator to Bollinger Bands or Ketner channels that uses ATR offsets as the corridor of possible movements, which I recommend changing to fit various tickers.
Also thrown in is EMA, default is 100 and 50 periods for trend direction and potential confirmation
ATR-Scaled Deviation OscillatorATR-DevOsc is a custom momentum-and-volatility adaptive oscillator that scales N-bar price momentum by its rolling deviation and then reacts dynamically to sudden ATR spikes. By shrinking the deviation window when true volatility surges, it amplifies extreme moves—making medium-term trend shifts and deep drawdowns far more likely to breach your predefined thresholds.
Key features include:
• configurable momentum length and separate deviation length for precise control over look-back periods
• ATR Reaction Multiplier to tune how strongly sudden volatility spikes contract the deviation, boosting oscillator amplitude during extreme moves
• independent upper and lower threshold inputs for clear long/short signal definitions
• integrated candle-coloring overlay to immediately visualize trend state on your price chart
• built-in alert conditions for both oscillator-threshold crossovers and ATR-reactive triggers
This indicator is particularly useful for swing traders seeking medium-term entry and exit points in highly volatile markets like BTC. It combines normalized momentum readings with true volatility feedback, so large drawdowns or breakouts generate unmistakable signal events while routine noise stays filtered.
Note: ATR-DevOsc is provided “as is” without formal robustness or optimization testing. Past performance is not indicative of future results; use in live trading only after sufficient back-testing and validation.

Dollar Volume + SD [ZTD]### So, What's the Big Deal with SD Dollar Volume?
TL:DR
What you see:
1. $ Volume = (Price * Volume) / 1M (we divide it by 1M by default so you don't have to look at 12 digits but you can select between 100k/1M/10M)
2. User selected M.A. period with difference sources
3. Up to 4 Standard Deviation from that M.A.
4. Color coded (explained below)
That's it, no fancy useless multi color rainbows. Functional, bringing depth and clarity to your analysis based on reality not optical illusion.
--------------
The Long version
You know how we've always looked at volume? It's a classic, but it's got a blind spot. A million shares traded when a stock is at $10 is a completely different ballgame from a million shares traded when it's at $200. The first is $10M in action; the second is $200M. Traditional volume treats them the same, but they are not the same story.
That's the whole idea behind the **Dollar Volume Standard Deviation (SD $VVOLUME)** indicator. Instead of just counting shares, it tracks the **actual dollar amount** ( also refered as Dollar Volume) changing hands. This gives you a much clearer picture of the real financial power behind a price move. It helps you see when the "big money" is truly stepping in or backing off.
Think about it this way: after a 20% drop on earnings, you might see a 10% volume increase and think, "Wow, buyers are stepping in!" But if you look at the *value traded*, it might actually be lower than the day before because the share price is so much cheaper. This indicator cuts through that noise.
What about that smaller stock you bought that suddenly doubles in prices in a matter of months. Do you really thing the volume you are looking at carries any meaning anymore?
On longer time frame? Think about Volume traded vs Value Traded on NVDA for example. Looking at volume alone on those charts is absolutely meaningless. I even wonder why volume alone ever existed in the first place as an indicator.
### How to Use It in Your Trading
This isn't just theory; here’s how you can actually use it to make better decisions.
#### Reading the Indicator
The indicator is designed to be visual and intuitive. Here’s what you're looking at:
* **The Bars:** Each bar on the indicator represents the total dollar value traded during that period. Bigger bar, more money moved.
* **The White Line:** This is your baseline—the moving average of the value traded. It shows you the normal level of money flow for that stock.
* **Bar Colors (The Important Part):**
* **Direction:** **Green** means the stock closed higher in that period. **Red** means it closed lower. Simple enough.
* **Intensity:** This is the real magic. The brightness or intensity of the color tells you how significant that money flow was. A dull, faded bar means the value traded was pretty average. A **bright, intense bar** means the value was way above normal (usually 1 or 2 standard deviations away from the average). *That's* when you need to pay attention.
#### Actionable Signals for Your Strategy
* **Spotting High-Conviction Moves:** When you see a bright, intense red or green bar that towers over the others, that's a signal of major conviction. Big players are making a decisive move, either buying up everything in sight or dumping their positions. This is your cue that something significant is happening.
* **Confirming a Trend's Strength:** Are you in a strong uptrend? Look for a consistent pattern of bright green bars. This tells you that significant capital is flowing in to support the rising price. It's confirmation that the trend has legs.
* **Catching a Weakening Trend (Divergence):** This is a powerful one. Imagine the stock price is grinding out new highs, but on the SD
V
VOLUME
indicator, the bars are getting smaller and less intense. That's a major red flag. It shows that even though the price is inching up, the real money isn't following. There's no conviction, and the trend could be about to reverse.
* **Gauging Liquidity:** If the bars are consistently low and dull, it's a sign that interest in the stock is drying up. It's a good way to spot illiquid conditions and avoid getting trapped in a stock that's hard to get out of.
Ultimately, SD SEED_YASHALGO_NSE_BREADTH:VOLUME helps you see the market from a different angle. It's not just about the noise of shares being traded; it's about following the money.
Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF) [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to dynamically adjust moving average calculations based on real time market regimes detected through the Hurst Exponent. The intention behind the creation of this indicator was not a buy/sell indicator but rather a tool to help sharpen traders ability to distinguish regimes in the market mathematically rather than guessing. By analyzing price persistence, it identifies whether the market is trending, mean-reverting, or exhibiting random walk behavior, automatically adapting the MA length to provide more responsive alerts in volatile conditions and smoother outputs in stable ones. This helps traders avoid false signals in choppy markets and capitalize on strong trends, making it ideal for adaptive trading strategies across various timeframes and assets.
Unlike traditional moving averages, HEAF incorporates fractal dimension analysis via the Hurst Exponent to create a self-tuning filter that evolves with market conditions. Traders benefit from visual cues like color coded regimes, adaptive bands for volatility channels, and an information panel that suggests appropriate strategies, enhancing decision making without constant manual adjustments by the user.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dynamic MA length adjustment using Hurst Exponent for regime-aware filtering, reducing lag in trends and noise in ranges.
Integrated market regime classification (trending, mean-reverting, random) with visual and alert-based notifications.
Customizable color themes and adaptive bands that incorporate ATR for volatility-adjusted channels.
Built-in information panel providing real-time strategy recommendations based on detected regimes.
Power sensitivity parameter to fine-tune adaptation aggressiveness, allowing personalization for different trading styles.
Support for multiple MA types (EMA, SMA, WMA) within an adaptive framework.
🔧 Core Components

Options Strategy V2.0📈 Options Strategy V2.0 – Intraday Reversal-Resilient Momentum System
Overview:
This strategy is designed specifically for intraday SPY, TSLA, MSFT, etc. options trading (0DTE or 1DTE), using high-probability signals derived from a confluence of technical indicators: EMA crossovers, RSI thresholds, ATR-based risk control, and volume spikes. The strategy aims to capture strong directional moves while avoiding overtrading, thanks to a built-in cooldown logic and optional time/session filters.
⚙️ Core Concept
The strategy executes trades only in the direction of the prevailing trend, determined by short- and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Entry signals are generated when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms momentum in the direction of the trend, and volume spikes suggest institutional activity.
To increase adaptability and user control, it includes a highly customizable parameter set for both long and short entries independently.
📌 Key Features
✅ Trend-Following Logic
Long entries are only allowed when EMA(short) > EMA(long)
Short entries are only allowed when EMA(short) < EMA(long)
✅ RSI Confirmation
Long: Requires RSI crossover above a configurable threshold
Short: Requires RSI crossunder below a configurable threshold
Optional rejection filters: Entry blocked above/below specific RSI extremes
✅ Volume Spike Filter
Confirms institutional participation by comparing current volume to an average multiplied by a user-defined factor.
✅ ATR-Based Risk Management
Both Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) are dynamically calculated using ATR × a multiplier.
TP/SL ratio is fully configurable.
✅ Cooldown Control
After every trade, the system waits for a set number of bars before allowing new entries.
This prevents overtrading and increases signal quality.
Optionally, cooldown is ignored for reversal trades, ensuring the system can react immediately to a confirmed trend change.
✅ Candle Body Filter (Noise Control)
Avoids trades on candles with too small bodies relative to wicks (often noise or indecision candles).
✅ VWAP Confirmation (Optional)
Ensures price is trading above VWAP for long entries, or below for short entries.
✅ Time & Session Filters
Trades only during regular market hours (09:30–16:00 EST).
No-trade zone (e.g., 14:15–15:45 EST) to avoid low-liquidity traps or late-day whipsaws.
✅ End-of-Day Auto Close
All open positions are force-closed at 15:55 EST, protecting against overnight risk (especially relevant for 0DTE options).
📊 Visual Aids
EMA plots show trend direction
VWAP line provides real-time mean-reversion context
Stop Loss and Take Profit lines appear dynamically with each trade
Alerts notify of entry signals and exit triggers
🔧 Customization Panel
Nearly every element of the strategy can be tailored:
EMA lengths (short and long, for both sides)
RSI thresholds and length
ATR length, SL multiplier, and TP/SL ratio
Volume spike sensitivity
Minimum EMA distance filter
Candle body ratio filter
Session restrictions
Cooldown logic (duration + reversal exception)
This makes the strategy extremely versatile, allowing both conservative and aggressive configurations depending on the trader’s profile and the market context.
📌 Example Use Case: SPY Options (0DTE or 1DTE)
This system was designed and tested specifically for SPY and other intraday options trading, where:
Delta is around 0.50 or higher
Trades are short-lived (often 1–5 candles)
You aim to trade 1–3 signals per day, filtering out weak entries
🚫 Important Notes
It is not a scalping strategy; it relies on confirmed breakouts with trend support
No pyramiding or re-entries without cooldown to preserve risk integrity
Should be used with real-time alerts and manual broker execution
📈 Alerts Included
📈 Long Entry Signal
📉 Short Entry Signal
⚠️ Auto-closed all positions at 15:55 EST
✅ Proven Settings – Real Trades + Backtest Results
The current version of the strategy includes the optimal settings I’ve arrived at through extensive backtesting, as well as 3 months of real trading with consistent profitability. These results reflect real-world execution under live market conditions using 0DTE SPY options, with disciplined trade management and risk control.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Options Strategy V2.0 is a robust, highly tunable intraday strategy that blends momentum, trend-following, and volume confirmation. It is ideal for disciplined traders focused on SPY or other 0DTE/1DTE options, and it includes guardrails to reduce false signals and improve execution timing.
Perfect for those who seek precision, flexibility, and risk-defined setups—not blind automation.

Tips
Disable the table & ATR plots to reduce chart clutter—leave only the red ΔClose% badge for a minimalist volatility alert.
Use the hidden ATR fields (plot outputs) in TradingView Strategies or Alerts to automate volatility-based entries/exits.
Adjust the deviation band to capture “normal” intraday moves vs. outsized volatility spikes.
Load this script on any US market chart (stocks, futures, crypto, etc.) to instantly visualize recent volatility structure, set dynamic SL levels, and highlight today’s price change relative to average true range.
DeltaTrace ForecastDeltaTrace Forecast is a forward-looking projection tool that visualizes the probable directional path of price using a multi-timeframe momentum model rooted in volatility-adjusted nonlinear dynamics. Rather than relying on traditional indicators that react to price after the fact, DeltaTrace estimates future price motion by tracing the progression of momentum changes across expanding timeframes—then scaling those deltas using adaptive volatility to forecast a plausible path forward.
At its core, DeltaTrace constructs a momentum vector from a series of smoothed z-scores derived from increasing multiples of the current chart's timeframe. These z-scores are normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), which compresses extreme values and emphasizes meaningful deviations without being overly sensitive to outliers. This nonlinear normalization ensures that explosive moves are weighted with less distortion, while still preserving the shape and direction of the underlying trend.
Once the z-scores are calculated for a range of 12 timeframes (from 1× the current timeframe up to 12×), the indicator computes the first difference between each adjacent pair. These differences—or deltas—represent the change in momentum from one timeframe to the next. In this structure, a strong positive delta implies momentum is strengthening as we look into higher timeframes, while a negative delta reflects waning or reversing strength.
However, not all deltas are treated equally. To make the projection adaptive to market volatility and temporally meaningful, each delta is scaled by the square root of its corresponding timeframe multiple, weighted by the ATR (Average True Range) of the base timeframe. This square-root volatility scaling mirrors the behavior of Brownian motion and reflects the natural geometric diffusion of price over time. By applying this scaling, the model tempers its forecast according to recent volatility while maintaining proportional distance over longer time horizons.
The result is a chain of projected price steps—11 in total—starting from the current closing price. These steps are cumulative, meaning each one builds upon the previous, forming a continuously adjusted polyline that represents the most recent forecast path of price. Each point in the forecast line is directional: if the next projected point is above the last, the segment is colored green (upward momentum); if below, it is colored red (downward momentum). This color coding gives immediate visual feedback on the nature of the projected path and allows for intuitive at-a-glance interpretation.
What makes DeltaTrace unique is its combination of ideas from signal processing, time-series momentum analysis, and volatility theory. Instead of relying on static support/resistance levels or lagging moving averages, it dynamically adapts to both momentum curvature and volatility structure. This allows it to be used not just for trend confirmation, but also for top-down bias fading, reversal anticipation, and path-following strategies.
Traders can use DeltaTrace in a variety of ways depending on their style:
For trend traders, a consistent upward or downward curve in the forecast suggests directional continuation and can be used for position sizing or confirmation of bias.
For mean-reversion traders, exaggerated divergence between the current price and the first few forecast points may indicate temporary exhaustion or overextension.
For scalpers or intraday traders, the short-term bend or flattening of the initial segments can reveal early signs of weakening momentum or build-up before breakout.
For swing traders, the full shape of the polyline gives an evolving map of market rhythm across time compression, allowing for context-aware decision-making.
It’s important to understand that this is a path projection tool, not a precise price target predictor. The forecast does not attempt to predict exact price levels at exact bars, but rather illustrates how the market might evolve if the current multi-timeframe momentum structure persists. Like all models, it should be interpreted probabilistically and used in conjunction with other confirmation signals, risk management tools, or strategy frameworks.
Inputs allow customization of the z-score calculation length and ATR window to tune the sensitivity of the model. The color scheme for up/down forecast segments can also be adjusted for personal preference. Additionally, users can toggle the polyline forecast on or off, which may be useful for pairing this indicator with others in a crowded chart layout.
Because the forecast path is calculated only on the last bar, it does not repaint or shift once the candle closes—preserving historical accuracy for visual inspection and backtesting reference. However, it is also sensitive to changes in volatility and momentum structure, meaning it updates each bar as conditions evolve, making it most effective in real-time decision support.
DeltaTrace Forecast is particularly well-suited for traders who want a deeper understanding of hidden momentum shifts across timeframes without relying on traditional trend-following tools. It reveals the shape of future possibility based on present dynamics, offering a compact yet powerful visualization of directional bias, transition risk, and path strength.
To maximize its utility, consider pairing DeltaTrace with volume profiles, order flow tools, higher timeframe zones, or market structure indicators. Used in context, it becomes a powerful companion to both systematic and discretionary trading styles—especially for those who appreciate a blend of mathematics and intuition in their market analysis.
This indicator is not based on magic or black-box logic; every component—from the z-score standardization to the volatility-adjusted deltas—is fully transparent and grounded in simple, interpretable mechanics. If you're looking for a reliable way to visualize multi-timeframe bias and momentum diffusion, DeltaTrace provides a unique lens through which to interpret future potential in an ever-shifting market landscape.

Key features:
✅ Entries are triggered only when the SuperTrend direction changes (trend reversal).
✅ Exits are performed using a dynamic stop-loss placed at the SuperTrend line.
✅ Position size is automatically calculated based on the trader’s fixed dollar risk per trade and the current distance to the stop-loss.
✅ Rounding logic is included to ensure quantity is valid for the exchange’s lot size.
This strategy does not use any take-profit or classic trailing stop — the position is only closed when the trend reverses or the stop is hit by touching the SuperTrend line.
⚙️ Default Parameters
ATR Length: 300
Factor: 7.5
Risk per trade: $90 (3% of the default $3,000 capital)
Lot step: 10
Commission: 0.05%
These default parameters are not universal. They were optimized specifically for STXUSDT swap at 15M timeframe at Bybit and may not produce viable results on other pairs and timeframes.
Users are encouraged to customize the settings according to specific asset’s volatility, timeframe and other characteristics.
❗ These default settings yield meaningful backtesting results on STXUSDT with a reasonable number of trades (105+) over 7-month period. If applied to other assets, results may vary significantly.
📈 Position Sizing Logic
The strategy uses a dynamic position sizing formula:
Pine Script®
position_size = floor((risk_per_trade / stop_loss_distance) / lot_step) * lot_step
This ensures the trader always risks a fixed dollar amount per trade and never exceeds a sustainable equity exposure (recommended 2% or less).
✅ Realism in Backtesting
To ensure realistic and non-misleading backtest results, this strategy includes:
— Slippage and commission settings matching average exchange conditions (commission = 0.05%, slippage 5 ticks).
— Position sizing based on stop-loss distance (not fixed contract quantity).*
— A fixed risk-per-trade model that adheres to responsible capital management principles.
— This is in compliance with TradingView's Script publishing rules and House Rules.
📌 How to Use
Apply the strategy to a clean chart (preferably 15M for STXUSDT by default).
If using another asset, adjust:
- ATR Length
- Factor
- Risk per trade
- Qty step (lot precision for the symbol)
Avoid using with other indicators unless you understand their purpose.
Use the Strategy Tester to evaluate performance and optimize parameters.

Game Theory Trading StrategyGame Theory Trading Strategy: Explanation and Working Logic
This Pine Script (version 5) code implements a trading strategy named "Game Theory Trading Strategy" in TradingView. Unlike the previous indicator, this is a full-fledged strategy with automated entry/exit rules, risk management, and backtesting capabilities. It uses Game Theory principles to analyze market behavior, focusing on herd behavior, institutional flows, liquidity traps, and Nash equilibrium to generate buy (long) and sell (short) signals. Below, I'll explain the strategy's purpose, working logic, key components, and usage tips in detail.
1. General Description
Purpose: The strategy identifies high-probability trading opportunities by combining Game Theory concepts (herd behavior, contrarian signals, Nash equilibrium) with technical analysis (RSI, volume, momentum). It aims to exploit market inefficiencies caused by retail herd behavior, institutional flows, and liquidity traps. The strategy is designed for automated trading with defined risk management (stop-loss/take-profit) and position sizing based on market conditions.
Key Features:
Herd Behavior Detection: Identifies retail panic buying/selling using RSI and volume spikes.
Liquidity Traps: Detects stop-loss hunting zones where price breaks recent highs/lows but reverses.
Institutional Flow Analysis: Tracks high-volume institutional activity via Accumulation/Distribution and volume spikes.
Nash Equilibrium: Uses statistical price bands to assess whether the market is in equilibrium or deviated (overbought/oversold).
Risk Management: Configurable stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) percentages, dynamic position sizing based on Game Theory (minimax principle).
Visualization: Displays Nash bands, signals, background colors, and two tables (Game Theory status and backtest results).
Backtesting: Tracks performance metrics like win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, and Sharpe ratio.
Strategy Settings:
Initial capital: $10,000.
Pyramiding: Up to 3 positions.
Position size: 10% of equity (default_qty_value=10).
Configurable inputs for RSI, volume, liquidity, institutional flow, Nash equilibrium, and risk management.
Warning: This is a strategy, not just an indicator. It executes trades automatically in TradingView's Strategy Tester. Always backtest thoroughly and use proper risk management before live trading.
2. Working Logic (Step by Step)
The strategy processes each bar (candle) to generate signals, manage positions, and update performance metrics. Here's how it works:
a. Input Parameters
The inputs are grouped for clarity:
Herd Behavior (🐑):
RSI Period (14): For overbought/oversold detection.
Volume MA Period (20): To calculate average volume for spike detection.
Herd Threshold (2.0): Volume multiplier for detecting herd activity.
Liquidity Analysis (💧):
Liquidity Lookback (50): Bars to check for recent highs/lows.
Liquidity Sensitivity (1.5): Volume multiplier for trap detection.
Institutional Flow (🏦):
Institutional Volume Multiplier (2.5): For detecting large volume spikes.
Institutional MA Period (21): For Accumulation/Distribution smoothing.
Nash Equilibrium (⚖️):
Nash Period (100): For calculating price mean and standard deviation.
Nash Deviation (0.02): Multiplier for equilibrium bands.
Risk Management (🛡️):
Use Stop-Loss (true): Enables SL at 2% below/above entry price.
Use Take-Profit (true): Enables TP at 5% above/below entry price.
b. Herd Behavior Detection
RSI (14): Checks for extreme conditions:
Overbought: RSI > 70 (potential herd buying).
Oversold: RSI < 30 (potential herd selling).
Volume Spike: Volume > SMA(20) x 2.0 (herd_threshold).
Momentum: Price change over 10 bars (close - close ) compared to its SMA(20).
Herd Signals:
Herd Buying: RSI > 70 + volume spike + positive momentum = Retail buying frenzy (red background).
Herd Selling: RSI < 30 + volume spike + negative momentum = Retail selling panic (green background).
c. Liquidity Trap Detection
Recent Highs/Lows: Calculated over 50 bars (liquidity_lookback).
Psychological Levels: Nearest round numbers (e.g., $100, $110) as potential stop-loss zones.
Trap Conditions:
Up Trap: Price breaks recent high, closes below it, with a volume spike (volume > SMA x 1.5).
Down Trap: Price breaks recent low, closes above it, with a volume spike.
Visualization: Traps are marked with small red/green crosses above/below bars.
d. Institutional Flow Analysis
Volume Check: Volume > SMA(20) x 2.5 (inst_volume_mult) = Institutional activity.
Accumulation/Distribution (AD):
Formula: ((close - low) - (high - close)) / (high - low) * volume, cumulated over time.
Smoothed with SMA(21) (inst_ma_length).
Accumulation: AD > MA + high volume = Institutions buying.
Distribution: AD < MA + high volume = Institutions selling.
Smart Money Index: (close - open) / (high - low) * volume, smoothed with SMA(20). Positive = Smart money buying.
e. Nash Equilibrium
Calculation:
Price mean: SMA(100) (nash_period).
Standard deviation: stdev(100).
Upper Nash: Mean + StdDev x 0.02 (nash_deviation).
Lower Nash: Mean - StdDev x 0.02.
Conditions:
Near Equilibrium: Price between upper and lower Nash bands (stable market).
Above Nash: Price > upper band (overbought, sell potential).
Below Nash: Price < lower band (oversold, buy potential).
Visualization: Orange line (mean), red/green lines (upper/lower bands).
f. Game Theory Signals
The strategy generates three types of signals, combined into long/short triggers:
Contrarian Signals:
Buy: Herd selling + (accumulation or down trap) = Go against retail panic.
Sell: Herd buying + (distribution or up trap).
Momentum Signals:
Buy: Below Nash + positive smart money + no herd buying.
Sell: Above Nash + negative smart money + no herd selling.
Nash Reversion Signals:
Buy: Below Nash + rising close (close > close ) + volume > MA.
Sell: Above Nash + falling close + volume > MA.
Final Signals:
Long Signal: Contrarian buy OR momentum buy OR Nash reversion buy.
Short Signal: Contrarian sell OR momentum sell OR Nash reversion sell.
g. Position Management
Position Sizing (Minimax Principle):
Default: 1.0 (10% of equity).
In Nash equilibrium: Reduced to 0.5 (conservative).
During institutional volume: Increased to 1.5 (aggressive).
Entries:
Long: If long_signal is true and no existing long position (strategy.position_size <= 0).
Short: If short_signal is true and no existing short position (strategy.position_size >= 0).
Exits:
Stop-Loss: If use_sl=true, set at 2% below/above entry price.
Take-Profit: If use_tp=true, set at 5% above/below entry price.
Pyramiding: Up to 3 concurrent positions allowed.
h. Visualization
Nash Bands: Orange (mean), red (upper), green (lower).
Background Colors:
Herd buying: Red (90% transparency).
Herd selling: Green.
Institutional volume: Blue.
Signals:
Contrarian buy/sell: Green/red triangles below/above bars.

j. Alerts
No explicit alertconditions defined, but you can add them for long_signal and short_signal (e.g., alertcondition(long_signal, "GT Long Entry", "Long Signal Detected!")).
Use TradingView's alert system with Strategy Tester outputs.
3. Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best for H1-D1 timeframes. Shorter frames (M1-M15) may produce noisy signals.
Settings:
Risk Management: Adjust sl_percent (e.g., 1% for volatile markets) and tp_percent (e.g., 3% for scalping).
Herd Threshold: Increase to 2.5 for stricter herd detection in choppy markets.
Liquidity Lookback: Reduce to 20 for faster markets (e.g., crypto).
Nash Period: Increase to 200 for longer-term analysis.
Backtesting:
Use TradingView's Strategy Tester to evaluate performance.
Check win rate (>50%), profit factor (>1.5), and max drawdown (<20%) for viability.
Test on different assets/timeframes to ensure robustness.
Live Trading:
Start with a demo account.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., EMAs, support/resistance) for confirmation.
Monitor liquidity traps and institutional flow for context.
Risk Management:
Always use SL/TP to limit losses.
Adjust position_size for risk tolerance (e.g., 5% of equity for conservative trading).
Avoid over-leveraging (pyramiding=3 can amplify risk).
Troubleshooting:
If no trades are executed, check signal conditions (e.g., lower herd_threshold or liquidity_sensitivity).
Ensure sufficient historical data for Nash and liquidity calculations.
If tables overlap, adjust position.top_right/bottom_right coordinates.
4. Key Differences from the Previous Indicator
Indicator vs. Strategy: The previous code was an indicator (VP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy) focused on visualization and alerts. This is a strategy with automated entries/exits and backtesting.
Volume Profile: Absent in this strategy, making it lighter but less focused on high-volume zones.
Wick Analysis: Not included here, unlike the previous indicator's heavy reliance on wick patterns.
Backtesting: This strategy includes detailed performance metrics and a backtest table, absent in the indicator.
Simpler Signals: Focuses on Game Theory signals (contrarian, momentum, Nash reversion) without the "Power/Ultra Power" hierarchy.
Risk Management: Explicit SL/TP and dynamic position sizing, not present in the indicator.
5. Conclusion
The "Game Theory Trading Strategy" is a sophisticated system leveraging herd behavior, institutional flows, liquidity traps, and Nash equilibrium to trade market inefficiencies. It’s designed for traders who understand Game Theory principles and want automated execution with robust risk management. However, it requires thorough backtesting and parameter optimization for specific markets (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks). The backtest table and visual aids make it easy to monitor performance, but always combine with other analysis tools and proper capital management.

Mig Trade Model - Kill Zones
Key features:
Liquidity Hunt Detection: Spots aggressive moves that "hunt" stops beyond recent swing highs/lows.
Consolidation Filter: Requires 1-3 small-range candles after a hunt before confirming with a strong candle.
Bias Application: Uses daily open/close to auto-detect bias or allows manual override.
Kill Zone Restriction: Limits signals to London (default: 7-10 AM UTC) and NY (default: 12-3 PM UTC) sessions for better relevance in active markets.
This strategy is inspired by smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies, aiming to capture venom-like "stings" in price action where liquidity is grabbed before reversals.
How It Works
ATR Calculation: Uses a user-defined ATR length (default: 14) to measure volatility, which scales candle body and range thresholds.
Bias Determination:
Auto: Compares daily close to open (bullish if close > open).
Manual: User selects "Bullish" or "Bearish."
Strong Candles:
Bullish: Green candle with body > 2x ATR (configurable).
Bearish: Red candle with body > 2x ATR.
Small Range Candles:
Candles where high-low < 0.5x ATR (configurable).
Liquidity Hunt:
Bullish Hunt: Strong bearish candle making a new low below the past swing low (default: 10 bars).
Bearish Hunt: Strong bullish candle making a new high above the past swing high.
Signal Generation:
After a hunt, counts 1-3 small-range candles.
Confirms with a strong candle in the opposite direction (e.g., strong bullish after bearish hunt).
Resets if >3 small candles or an opposing strong candle appears.
Kill Zone Filter:
Checks if the current bar's time (in UTC) falls within London or NY Kill Zones.
Only allows final "Buy" (bullish entry) or "Sell" (bearish entry) if bias matches and in Kill Zone.
Plots:
Yellow circle (below): Bullish liquidity hunt.
Orange circle (above): Bearish liquidity hunt.
Blue diamond (below): Raw bullish signal.
Purple diamond (above): Raw bearish signal.
Green triangle up ("Buy"): Filtered bullish entry.
Red triangle down ("Sell"): Filtered bearish entry.
Inputs
Bias: "Auto" (default), "Bullish", or "Bearish" – Controls signal direction based on daily trend.
ATR Length: 14 (default) – Period for ATR calculation.
Swing Length for Liquidity Hunt: 10 (default) – Bars to look back for swing highs/lows.
Strong Candle Body Multiplier (x ATR): 2.0 (default) – Threshold for strong candle bodies.
Small Range Multiplier (x ATR): 0.5 (default) – Threshold for small-range candles.
London Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 7/10 (default) – Customize London session hours.
NY Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 12/15 (default) – Customize New York session hours.
Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-15 min) for intraday trading, especially forex pairs like EURUSD or GBPUSD.
Timezone Adjustment: Inputs are in UTC. If your chart is in a different timezone (e.g., EST = UTC-5), adjust hours accordingly (e.g., London: 2-5 AM EST → 7-10 UTC).
Risk Management: Use with stop-loss (e.g., beyond the hunt low/high) and take-profit based on ATR multiples. Not financial advice—backtest thoroughly.
Customization: Tweak multipliers for different assets; higher for volatile cryptos, lower for stocks.
Limitations: Relies on historical data; may generate false signals in ranging markets. Combine with other indicators like volume or support/resistance.

Candle Channel█ OVERVIEW
The "Candle Channel" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool that plots a price channel based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of candlestick midpoints. The channel bands, calculated based on candlestick volatility, form dynamic support and resistance levels that adapt to price movements. The script generates signals for reversals from the bands and SMA breakouts, making it useful for both short-term and long-term traders. By adjusting the SMA length, the channel can vary in nature—from a wide channel encapsulating price movement to narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands. The channel width can be further customized using a scaling parameter, allowing adaptation to different trading styles and markets.
█ MECHANISM
Band Calculation
The indicator is based on the following calculations:
Candlestick Midpoint: Calculated as the arithmetic average of the candle’s high and low prices: (high + low) / 2.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The average of candlestick midpoints over a specified length (default: 20 candles), forming the channel’s centerline.
Average Candle Height: Calculated as the average difference between the high and low prices (high - low) over the same SMA length, serving as a measure of market volatility.
Band Scaling: The user specifies a percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%), which is multiplied by the average height to create an offset. The upper band is SMA + offset, and the lower band is SMA - offset.Example: For an average candle height of 10 points and 200% scaling, the offset is 20 points, meaning the bands are ±20 points from the SMA.
Channel Characteristics: The SMA length determines the channel’s dynamics. Shorter SMA values (10–30) create a wide channel that contains price movement, ideal for scalping or short-term trading. Longer SMA values (above 30, e.g., 50–100) transform the channel into narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, suitable for longer-term analysis. Band scaling further adjusts the channel width to match market volatility.
Signals
Reversal from Bands: Signals are generated when the price closes outside the band (above the upper or below the lower) and then returns to the channel, indicating a potential trend reversal.
SMA Breakout: Signals are generated when the price crosses the SMA upward (bullish signal) or downward (bearish signal), suggesting potential trend changes.
Visualization
Centerline: The SMA of candlestick midpoints, displayed as a thin line.
Channel Bands: Upper and lower channel boundaries, with customizable colors.
Fill: Options include a gradient (smooth color transition between bands) or solid color. The fill can also be disabled for greater clarity.
█ FEATURES AND SETTINGS
SMA Length: Determines the moving average period (default: 20). Values of 10–30 are suitable for a wide channel containing price movement, ideal for short-term timeframes. Longer values (e.g., 50–100) create narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, better suited for higher timeframes.
Band Scaling: Percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%). Adjusts the channel width to match market volatility—smaller values (e.g., 50–100%) for narrower bands, larger values (e.g., 200–300%) for wider channels.
Fill Type: Gradient, solid, or no fill, allowing customization to user preferences.
Colors: Options to change the colors of bands, fill, and signals for better readability.
Signals: Options to enable/disable reversal signals from bands and SMA breakout signals.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the script to your chart in TradingView by clicking "Add to Chart" in the Pine Editor.
Adjust input parameters in the script settings:
SMA Length: Set to 10–30 for a wide channel containing price movement, suitable for scalping or short-term trading. Set above 30 (e.g., 50–100) for narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands.
Band Scaling: Adjust the channel width to market volatility. Smaller values (50–100%) for tighter support/resistance bands, larger values (200–300%) for wider channels containing price movement.
Fill Type and Colors: Choose a gradient for aesthetics or a solid fill for clarity.
Analyze signals:
Reversal Signals: Triangles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate potential reversal points.
SMA Breakout Signals: Circles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate trend changes.
Test the indicator on different instruments and timeframes to find optimal settings for your trading style.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator may generate false signals in highly volatile or consolidating markets.
On low-liquidity charts (e.g., exotic currency pairs), the bands may be less reliable.
Effectiveness depends on properly matching parameters to the market and timeframe.

This tool is ideal for short-term volatility tracking, scalping strategies, and identifying market conditions where price is expanding or contracting.
Two assets correlation trackerHi, I made this simple script to see how two correlated assets are actually performing short-term. The idea comes from correlation between BTC and ETH that that usually stands 0.9 (Pearson's correlation). However Pearson's correlation doesn't indicate the relative price difference and cannot be used trading correlation when used alone.
My approach is simple - we can select the date/time from which we will start tracking the price change, and instead of tracking the price, we track 100 USD worth of BTC and ETH and how this investment perform. This gives us the price difference relative to a point in the near future, I would suggest using latest trend shift, for example.
On example of how this can be used: If we see that BTC is falling slower than ETH since trend shift, we can long BTC and short ETH in equal parts and expect to gain from the difference while hedging potential loss.
Ultimate Scalping Strategy v2Strategy Overview
This is a versatile scalping strategy designed primarily for low timeframes (like 1-min, 3-min, or 5-min charts). Its core logic is based on a classic EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossover system, which is then filtered by the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) to confirm the trade's direction in alignment with the market's current intraday sentiment.
The strategy is highly customizable, allowing traders to add layers of confirmation, control trade direction, and manage exits with precision.
Core Strategy Logic
The strategy's entry signals are generated when two primary conditions are met simultaneously:
Momentum Shift (EMA Crossover): It looks for a crossover between a fast EMA (default length 9) and a slow EMA (default length 21).
Buy Signal: The fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, indicating a potential shift to bullish momentum.
Sell Signal: The fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, indicating a potential shift to bearish momentum.
Trend/Sentiment Filter (VWAP): The crossover signal is only considered valid if the price is on the "correct" side of the VWAP.
For a Buy Signal: The price must be trading above the VWAP. This confirms that, on average, buyers are in control for the day.
For a Sell Signal: The price must be trading below the VWAP. This confirms that sellers are generally in control.
Confirmation Filters (Optional)
To increase the reliability of the signals and reduce false entries, the strategy includes two optional confirmation filters:
Price Action Filter (Engulfing Candle): If enabled (Use Price Action), the entry signal is only valid if the crossover candle is also an "engulfing" candle.
A Bullish Engulfing candle is a large green candle that completely "engulfs" the body of the previous smaller red candle, signaling strong buying pressure.
A Bearish Engulfing candle is a large red candle that engulfs the previous smaller green candle, signaling strong selling pressure.
Volume Filter (Volume Spike): If enabled (Use Volume Confirmation), the entry signal must be accompanied by a surge in volume. This is confirmed if the volume of the entry candle is greater than its recent moving average (default 20 periods). This ensures the move has strong participation behind it.
Exit Strategy
A position can be closed in one of three ways, creating a comprehensive exit plan:
Stop Loss (SL): A fixed stop loss is set at a level determined by a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). For example, a 1.5 multiplier places the stop 1.5 times the current ATR value away from the entry price. This makes the stop dynamic, adapting to market volatility.
Take Profit (TP): A fixed take profit is also set using an ATR multiplier. By setting the TP multiplier higher than the SL multiplier (e.g., 2.0 for TP vs. 1.5 for SL), the strategy aims for a positive risk-to-reward ratio on each trade.
Exit on Opposite Signal (Reversal): If enabled, an open position will be closed automatically if a valid entry signal in the opposite direction appears. For example, if you are in a long trade and a valid short signal occurs, the strategy will exit the long position immediately. This feature turns the strategy into more of a reversal system.
Key Features & Customization
Trade Direction Control: You can enable or disable long and short trades independently using the Allow Longs and Allow Shorts toggles. This is useful for trading in harmony with a higher-timeframe trend (e.g., only allowing longs in a bull market).
Visual Plots: The strategy plots the Fast EMA, Slow EMA, and VWAP on the chart for easy visualization of the setup. It also plots up/down arrows to mark where valid buy and sell signals occurred.
Dynamic SL/TP Line Plotting: A standout feature is that the strategy automatically draws the exact Stop Loss and Take Profit price lines on the chart for every active trade. These lines appear when a trade is entered and disappear as soon as it is closed, providing a clear visual of your risk and reward targets.
Alerts: The script includes built-in alertcondition calls. This allows you to create alerts in TradingView that can notify you on your phone or execute trades automatically via a webhook when a long or short signal is generated.

Titan Wick Zone IndicatorThe Titan Wick Zone Indicator visually highlights the upper and lower wick regions of each candlestick on your chart, helping traders instantly identify areas where price was aggressively rejected (top wick) or absorbed (bottom wick). The indicator fills the area above the candle body to the wick high in red (sell zone), and the area below the candle body to the wick low in green (buy zone), both with adjustable opacity for clear visibility.
How to Use:
Spot Rejection and Absorption:
The red-filled upper wick zone marks where upward price moves were sharply rejected by sellers, often indicating supply, resistance, or “stop hunt” zones.
The green-filled lower wick zone marks where downward price moves were absorbed by buyers, pointing to potential demand, support, or accumulation zones.
Enhance Price Action Analysis:
Use these zones to avoid entering trades at price extremes, spot potential reversals, and find areas of confluence with support/resistance, Fibonacci levels, or order blocks.
Risk Management:
The indicator helps visualize where liquidity hunts or false breakouts may occur, so you can better place stop losses outside of volatile wick zones.
Ideal For:
Price action traders, scalpers, and swing traders seeking a visual edge in spotting supply/demand dynamics, liquidity zones, and wick-driven traps.

名前：Hunting Bollinger Bands for scalping
目的：レンジ相場での短期的な反発を狙った逆張りシグナルを表示
対象ユーザー：スキャルピングやデイトレードで、特にゴールド(XAU/USD)での小幅な値動きを狙うトレーダー
推奨利幅：ゴールドでおよそ 3ドル前後 を目安にスキャルピングを行うと有効
メインロジック：
ボリンジャーバンド（±2σ）で過剰な価格乖離を検出
バー間隔フィルターで過剰シグナルを制御
BUY/SELLラベルで視覚的にシンプルなエントリーポイントを表示
📌 シグナル条件
BUY（買いシグナル）
現在価格が ボリンジャーバンド下限（Lower Band）を下回った時
前回シグナルから指定したバー数以上経過
この条件を満たした場合、ローソク足下に「BUY」ラベルを表示します。
SELL（売りシグナル）
現在価格が ボリンジャーバンド上限（Upper Band）を上回った時
前回シグナルから指定したバー数以上経過
この条件を満たした場合、ローソク足上に「SELL」ラベルを表示します。
📌 パラメータ
項目 説明 初期値
ボリンジャーバンド期間 (bbLength) ボリンジャーバンド計算の期間 20
標準偏差 (bbStdDev) バンド幅を決める標準偏差 2.0
シグナル間隔 (barLimit) シグナルの連続表示を防止する最小バー間隔 10
📌 使い方
インジケーターをチャートに追加すると、ボリンジャーバンドとBUY/SELLラベルが表示されます
シグナルが出たら、反発確認後にスキャルピングエントリー（ゴールドなら約3ドルを目安に）
「シグナル間隔（barLimit）」を調整して、シグナルの過剰表示を防ぐ
経済指標発表や強いトレンド発生時は使用を控える
📌 このインジケーターが向いている相場
レンジ相場
小さな値幅（約3ドル前後）を狙うスキャルピング
トレンドが弱い横ばいの時間帯（例：アジア時間のゴールドなど）
📌 注意点
強いトレンド相場では、逆張りシグナルが連続的に発生し、損切りが増える可能性あり
200MAやRSI、VWAPなど他の指標と組み合わせることで精度を高められる
シグナルは参考用であり、単独での売買判断は推奨されない
