EMA Cross + RSI + ADX - Autotrade Strategy V2Overview
A versatile trend-following strategy combining EMA 9/21 crossovers with RSI momentum filtering and optional ADX trend strength confirmation. Designed for both cryptocurrency and traditional futures/options markets with built-in stop loss management and automated position reversals.
Key Features
Multi-Market Compatibility: Works on both crypto futures (Bitcoin, Ethereum) and traditional markets (NIFTY, Bank NIFTY, S&P 500 futures, equity options)
Triple Confirmation System: EMA crossover + RSI filter + ADX strength (optional)
Automated Risk Management: 2% stop loss with wick-touch detection
Position Auto-Reversal: Opposite signals automatically close and reverse positions
Webhook Ready: Six distinct alert messages for automation (Entry Buy/Sell, Close Long/Short, SL Hit Long/Short)
Performance Metrics
NIFTY Futures (15min): 50%+ win rate with ADX filter OFF
Crypto Markets: Requires extensive backtesting before live deployment
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts (patience required for higher timeframes)
Strategy Logic
Entry Signals:
LONG: EMA 9 crosses above EMA 21 + RSI > 55 + ADX > 20 (if enabled)
SHORT: EMA 9 crosses below EMA 21 + RSI < 45 + ADX > 20 (if enabled)
Exit Signals:
Opposite EMA crossover (auto-closes current position)
Stop loss hit at 2% from entry price (tracks candle wicks)
Technical Indicators:
Fast EMA: 9-period (short-term trend)
Slow EMA: 21-period (primary trend)
RSI: 14-period with 55/45 thresholds (momentum confirmation)
ADX: 14-period with 20 threshold (trend strength filter - optional)
Market-Specific Settings
Traditional Markets (NIFTY, Bank NIFTY, S&P Futures, Options)
Recommended Settings:
ADX Filter: Turn OFF (less choppy, cleaner trends)
Timeframe: 15-minute chart
Win Rate: 50%+ on NIFTY Futures
Why No ADX: Traditional markets have more institutional participation and smoother price action, making ADX unnecessary
Cryptocurrency Markets (BTC, ETH, Altcoins)
Recommended Settings:
ADX Filter: Turn ON (ADX > 20)
Timeframe: 15-minute to 1-hour
Extensive backtesting required before live trading
Why ADX: Crypto markets are highly volatile and prone to false breakouts; ADX filters low-quality chop
Best Practices
✅ Backtest thoroughly on your specific instrument and timeframe
✅ Use larger timeframes (1H, 4H) for higher quality signals and better risk/reward
✅ Adjust RSI thresholds based on market volatility (try 52/48 for more signals, 60/40 for fewer but stronger)
✅ Monitor ADX effectiveness - disable for traditional markets, enable for crypto
✅ Proper position sizing - adjust default_qty_value based on your capital and instrument price
✅ Paper trade first - test for 2-4 weeks before risking real capital
Risk Management
Fixed 2% stop loss per trade (adjustable)
Stop loss tracks candle wicks for accurate execution
Positions auto-reverse on opposite signals (no manual intervention needed)
0.075% commission built into backtest (adjust for your broker)
Customization Options
All parameters are adjustable via inputs:
EMA periods (default: 9/21)
RSI length and thresholds (default: 14-period, 55/45 levels)
ADX length and threshold (default: 14-period, 20 threshold)
Stop loss percentage (default: 2%)
Webhook Automation
This strategy includes six distinct alert messages for automated trading:
"Entry Buy" - Long position opened
"Entry Sell" - Short position opened
"Close Long" - Long position closed on opposite crossover
"Close Short" - Short position closed on opposite crossover
"SL Hit Long" - Long stop loss triggered
"SL Hit Short" - Short stop loss triggered
Compatible with Delta Exchange, Binance Futures, 3Commas, Alertatron, and other webhook platforms.
Important Notes
⚠️ Crypto markets require extensive backtesting - volatility patterns differ significantly from traditional markets
⚠️ Higher timeframes = better results - 15min works but 1H/4H provide cleaner signals
⚠️ ADX toggle is critical - OFF for traditional markets, ON for crypto
⚠️ Not financial advice - always conduct your own research and use proper risk management
⚠️ Past performance ≠ future results - backtest results may not reflect live trading conditions
Disclaimer
This strategy is for educational and informational purposes only. Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss. Always backtest thoroughly, start with paper trading, and never risk more than you can afford to lose. The author assumes no responsibility for any trading losses incurred using this strategy.

Top Finder & Dip Hunter [BackQuant]Top Finder & Dip Hunter
A practical tool to map where price is statistically most likely to exhaust or mean-revert. It builds objective support for dips and resistance for tops from multiple methodologies, then filters raw touches with volume, momentum, trend, and price-action context to surface higher-quality reversal opportunities.
What this does
Draws a Dip Support line and a Top Resistance line using the method you select, or a blended hybrid.
Evaluates each touch/penetration against Quality Filters and assigns a 0–100 composite score.
Prints clean DIP and TOP signals only when depth/extension and quality pass your thresholds.
Optionally annotates the chart with the computed quality score at signal time.
Why it’s useful
Objectivity: Converts vague “looks extended” into rules, reduces discretion creep.
Signal hygiene: Filters raw touches using trend, volume, momentum, and candle structure to avoid obvious traps.
Adaptable regimes: Switch methods, sensitivity, and lookbacks to match choppy vs trending conditions.
How support and resistance are built
Pick one per side, or use “Hybrid.”
Dynamic: Anchors to the extreme of a lookback window, padded by recent ATR, so buffers expand in volatile periods and contract when calm.
Fibonacci: Uses the 0.618/0.786 retracement pair inside the current swing window to target common reaction zones.
Volatility: Uses a moving-average basis with standard-deviation bands to capture statistically stretched moves.
Volume-Weighted: Centers off VWAP and penalizes deviations using dispersion of price around VWAP, helpful on intraday instruments.
Hybrid: A weighted average of the above to smooth out single-method biases.
When a touch becomes a signal
Depth/extension test:
Dips must penetrate their support by at least Min Dip Depth % .
Tops must extend above resistance by at least Min Top Rise % .
Quality Score gate: The composite must clear Min Quality Score . Components:
Trend alignment: Favor dips in bullish regimes and tops in bearish regimes using EMAs and RSI.
Volume confirmation: Reward expansion or spikes versus a 20-period baseline.
RSI context: Prefer oversold for dips, overbought for tops.
Momentum shift: Look for short-term momentum turning in the expected direction.
Candle structure: Reward hammer/shooting-star style responses at the level.
How to use it
Pick your regime:
Range/chop, small caps, mean-revert intraday → Volatility or Volume Weighted .
Cleaner swings/trends → Dynamic or Fibonacci .
Unsure or mixed conditions → Hybrid .
Set windows: Start with Lookback = 50 for both sides. Increase in higher timeframes or slow assets, decrease for fast scalps.
Tune sensitivity: Raise Dip/Top Sensitivity to widen buffers and reduce noise. Lower to be more aggressive.
Gate with quality: Begin with Min Quality Score = 60 . Push to 70–80 for cleaner swing entries, relax to 50–60 for scalps.
Act on first prints: The script only fires on new qualified events. Use the score label to prioritize A-setups.
Typical workflows
Intraday futures/crypto: Volume-Weighted or Volatility methods for both sides, higher Sensitivity , require Volume Filter and Momentum Filter on. Look for DIP during opening drive exhaustion and TOP near late-session fatigue.
Swing equities/FX: Dynamic or Fibonacci with moderate sensitivity. Keep Trend Filter on to only take dips above the 200-EMA and tops below it.
Countertrend scouts: Lower Min Dip Depth % / Min Top Rise % slightly, but raise Min Quality Score to compensate.
Reading the chart
Lines: “Dip Support” and “Top Resistance” are the current actionable rails, lightly smoothed to reduce flicker.
Signals: “DIP” prints below bars when a qualified dip appears, “TOP” prints above for qualified tops.
Scores: Optional labels show the composite at signal time. Favor higher numbers, especially when aligned with higher-timeframe trend.
Background hints: Light highlights mark raw touches meeting depth/extension, even if they fail quality. Treat these as early warnings.
Tuning tips
If you get too many false DIP signals in downtrends, raise Min Dip Depth % and keep Trend Filter on.
If tops appear late in squeezes, lower Top Sensitivity slightly or switch top side to Fibonacci .
On assets with erratic volume, prefer Volatility or Dynamic methods and down-weight the Volume Filter .
For strict systems, increase Min Quality Score and require both Volume and Momentum filters.
What this is not
It is not a blind reversal signal. It’s a structured context tool. Combine with your risk plan and higher-timeframe map.
It is not a guarantee of mean reversion. In strong trends, expect fewer, higher-score opportunities and respect invalidation quickly.
Suggested presets
Scalp preset: Lookback 30–40, Sensitivity 1.2–1.5, Quality ≥ 55, Volume & Momentum filters ON.
Swing preset: Lookback 75–100, Sensitivity 1.0–1.2, Quality ≥ 70, Trend & Volume filters ON.
Chop preset: Volatility/Volume-Weighted methods, Quality ≥ 60, Momentum filter ON, RSI emphasis.
Input quick reference
Dip/Top Method: Choose the model for each side or “Hybrid” to blend.
Lookback: Swing window the levels are built from.
Sensitivity: Scales volatility padding around levels.
Min Dip Depth % / Min Top Rise %: Minimum breach/extension to qualify.
Quality Filters: Trend, Volume, Momentum toggles, plus Min Quality Score gate.
Visuals: Colors and whether to print score labels.
Best practices
Map higher-timeframe trend first, then act on lower-timeframe DIP/TOP in the trend’s favor.
Use the score as triage. Skip mediocre prints into news or at session open unless score is exceptional.
Pre-define stop placement relative to the level you used. If a DIP fails, exit on loss of structure rather than waiting for the next print.
Bottom line: Top Finder & Dip Hunter codifies where reversals are most defensible and only flags the ones with supportive context. Tune the method and filters to your market, then let the score keep your playbook disciplined.
Moving Average ProjectionDisplays 2-5 moving averages (solid lines) and projects their future trajectory (dashed lines) based on current trend momentum. This helps you anticipate where key MAs are heading and identify potential future support/resistance levels.
Important: Projections show where MAs would move IF the current trend continues—they're not predictions. Market conditions change, so use projections as planning tools, not trading signals.
General Settings
Number of MAs (2-5) controls how many moving averages display on your chart. Start with 2-3 to avoid clutter. Projection Bars (1-100) determines how far into the future to project—use 10-20 for intraday charts and 20-40 for daily charts. Lookback for Slope (2-100) sets the number of bars used to calculate trend slope, where shorter lookbacks are more responsive and longer ones are smoother. The default of 20 works well for most situations.
Individual MA Settings (MA 1-5)
Each MA has four settings: Length sets the period for the MA (common values are 9, 20, 50, 100, and 200), Type lets you choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, or RMA (EMA is most popular), Color sets the historical MA line color, and Projection Color sets the projected line color (usually a lighter or transparent version of the main color).
MA Types Quick Reference: EMA is most popular and responsive to recent prices. SMA gives equal weight to all periods and is the smoothest. HMA is very responsive with low lag. VWMA incorporates volume data.
Quick Setup Examples
Day Trading: 3 MAs (9/21/50 EMA), 10-15 projection bars, 10-15 lookback
Swing Trading: 2 MAs (50/200 EMA), 20-30 projection bars, 20 lookback
Scalping: 2 MAs (9/20 EMA), 5-10 projection bars, 5-10 lookback
How to Use
Trend Identification: An uptrend shows price above rising MAs with projections pointing up. A downtrend shows price below falling MAs with projections pointing down. Consolidation appears as flat MAs with horizontal projections.
Support & Resistance: Rising MA projections act as future dynamic support levels, while falling MA projections act as future dynamic resistance levels.
Anticipating Changes: Watch for projected MA crossovers before they happen. When projections converge, expect volatility or consolidation. Steep projections suggest unsustainable trends, so be cautious. Flat projections indicate ranging markets.
Trade Planning: Check the current trend using MA alignment, then look at projections to gauge trend continuation likelihood. Use projected MA levels for potential targets or stop placement.
Important Tips
When Projections Work Best: Projections are most reliable in stable trending markets with consistent momentum, low volatility environments, and away from major news events.
When to Be Cautious: Use caution during high volatility or choppy price action, around major economic releases, when projections show extreme or parabolic angles, and during trend transitions.
Combine With Other Analysis: Don't trade projections alone. Use them alongside price action, volume, support and resistance levels, and other indicators for confirmation.
Best Practices
Start with 2-3 MAs to avoid chart clutter. Match your projection and lookback bars to your trading timeframe. Use consistent color schemes for quick interpretation. Adjust settings as market conditions change. Always use proper risk management—projections are planning tools, not guarantees.
Troubleshooting
Projections not showing: Check that Projection Bars > 0 and you're viewing the most recent bar
Chart too cluttered: Reduce number of MAs or increase projection color transparency
Projections too volatile: Increase lookback bars or switch to EMA/SMA from HMA
Can't see certain MAs: Verify "Number of MAs" setting includes them (MA 3 won't show if set to 2)
Power Balance ForecasterHey trader buddy! Remember the old IBM 5150 on Wall Street back in the 80s? :) Well, I wanted to pay tribute to it with this retro-style code when MS DOS and CRT screens were the cutting edge of technology...

MPO4 Lines – Modal Engine█ OVERVIEW
MPO4 Lines – Modal Engine is an advanced multi-line modal oscillator for TradingView, designed to detect momentum shifts, trend strength, and reversal points through candle-based pressure analysis with multiple fast lines and a reference slow line. It features divergence detection on Fast Line A, overbought/oversold return signals, dynamic coloring modes, and layered gradient visualizations for enhanced clarity and decision-making.
█ CONCEPT
The indicator is built upon the Market Pressure Oscillator (MPO) and serves as its expanded evolution, aimed at enabling broader market analysis through multiple lines with varying parameters. It calculates modal pressure using candle body size and direction, weighted against average body size over a lookback period, then normalized and smoothed via EMA. It generates four distinct oscillator lines: a heavily smoothed Slow Line (trend reference), two Fast Lines (A & B) for momentum and support/resistance, and an optional Line 4 for additional confirmation. Divergence is calculated solely on Fast Line A, with visual gradients between lines and bands for intuitive interpretation.
█ WHY USE IT?
- Multi-Layer Momentum: Combines slow trend reference with dual fast lines for precise entry/exit timing.
- Divergence Precision: Bullish/bearish divergences on Fast Line A with labeled confirmation.
- OB/OS Return Signals: Clear buy/sell markers when Fast Line A exits oversold/overbought zones.
- Dynamic Visuals: Gradient fills, line-to-line shading, and band gradients for instant market state recognition.
- Flexible Coloring: Slow Line color by direction or zero-position; fast lines by sign.
- Full Customization: Independent lengths, smoothing, visibility, and transparency — by adjusting the lengths of different lines, you can tailor results for various strategies; for example, enabling Line 4 and tuning its length allows trading based on crossovers between different lines.
█ HOW IT WORKS?
- Candle Pressure Calculation: Body = math.abs(close - open); avgBody = ta.sma(body, len). Direction = +1 (bull), –1 (bear), 0 (neutral). Weight = body / avgBody. Contribution = direction × weight.
- Rolling Sum & Normalization: Sums contributions over lookback, normalizes to ±100 scale (÷ (len × 2) × 100).
Smoothing: Applies primary EMA (smoothLen), with extra EMA on Slow Line for stability.
Line Structure:
- Slow Line = calcCPO(len1=20, smoothLen1=5) → extra EMA (5)
- Fast Line A = calcCPO(len2=6, smoothLen2=7)
- Fast Line B = calcCPO(len3=6, smoothLen3=10)
- Line 4 = calcCPO(len4=14, smoothLen4=1)
Divergence Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh/low on price and Fast Line A (pivotLength left/right). Bullish: lower price low + higher osc low. Bearish: higher price high + lower osc high. Valid within 5–60 bar window.
Signals:
- Buy: Fast Line A crosses above oversold (–30)
- Sell: Fast Line A crosses below overbought (+30)
- Slow Line color flip (direction or zero-cross)
- Divergence labels ("Bull" / "Bear")
- Band Coloring as Momentum Signal:
When Fast Line A ≤ Fast Line B → Overbought band turns red (bearish pressure building)
When Fast Line A > Fast Line B → Oversold band turns green (bullish pressure building) This dynamic coloring serves as visual confirmation of momentum shift following fast line crossovers
Visualization:
- Gradients: Fast B → Zero (multi-layer fade), Fast A ↔ B fill, OB/OS bands
- Dynamic colors: Green/red based on sign or trend
- Zero line + dashed OB/OS thresholds
Alerts: Trigger on OB/OS returns, Slow Line changes, and divergences.
█ SETTINGS AND CUSTOMIZATION
- Line Visibility: Toggle Slow, Fast A, Fast B, Line 4 independently.
Line Lengths:
- Slow Line: Base (20), Primary EMA (5), Extra EMA (5)
- Fast A: Lookback (6), EMA (7)
- Fast B: Lookback (6), EMA (10)
- Line 4: Lookback (14), EMA (1)
- Slow Line Coloring Mode: “Direction” (trend-based) or “Position vs Zero”.
- Bands & Thresholds: Overbought (+30), Oversold (–30), step 0.1.
- Signals: Enable Fast A OB/OS return markers (default: on).
- Divergence: Enable/disable, Pivot Length (default: 2, min 1).
- Colors & Appearance: Full control over bullish/bearish hues for all lines, zero, bands, divergence, and text.
Gradients & Transparency:
- Fast B → Zero: 75 (default)
- Fast A ↔ B fill: 50
- Band gradients: 40
- Toggle each gradient independently
█ USAGE EXAMPLES
The indicator allows users to configure various strategies manually, though no built-in alerts exist for them. Entry signals can include color of fast lines, crossovers between different lines, alignment of colors across lines, or consistency in direction.
- Trend Confirmation: Slow Line above zero + green = bullish bias; below + red = bearish.
- Entry Timing: Buy on Fast A crossing above –30 (circle marker), especially if Slow Line is rising or near zero.
- Reversal Setup: Bullish divergence (“Bull” label) + Fast A in oversold + green gradient band = high-probability long.
- Scalping: Fast A vs Fast B crossover in direction of Slow Line trend.
- Noise Reduction: Increase extraSmoothLen on Slow Line
█ USER NOTES
- Best combined with volume, support/resistance, or trend channels.
- Adjust lookback and smoothing to asset volatility.
- Divergence delay = pivotLength; plan entries accordingly.
Index Weighted Returns [SS]This is the index weighted return indicator.
It supports a few ETFs, including:
SPY/SPX
QQQ/NDX
ARKK
SMH
UFO
XBI
QTUM
What it does is it takes the top, approximately 40, of the most heavily weighted tickers on the ETF, monitors their returns using the request security function, and then uses their weight to calculate the synthetic returns of the ETF of interest.
For example, in the chart we have SMH.
The indicator is looking at the top weighted tickers of SMH, calculating their returns, adjusting it for their individual weight on SMH and then predicting the expected return of SMH based on the weighing and holding's returns themselves.
How to Use it
The indicator is pretty straight forward, you select which ever index you are on and your desired timeframe (you can do as low as 30-Minutes or as high as monthly or quarterly).
The indicator will then retrieve the top holdings for that ticker, their corresponding weights and calculate the expected daily return based on the weight and return of these tickers.
It will plot this return for you on the chart.
Other Options
There is an optional table for you to view the actual weight, ticker composition and period returns for each of the top x tickers for an index. You can simply toggle "Show Table" in the settings menu, and it will show you the list of all tickers included, their period returns and their weight on the ETF.
Tips for Use
Works well to see when an index may be over the actual top weighted tickers, implying a pullback/sell, or under. For example:
SPY today fell well below its top tickers and is currently rallying back up to the expected close range.
You can see in the primary chart, SMH fell below and returned to its balance, being at the expected close range based on its component tickers.
That is the indicator!
Its simple but powerful!
Hope you enjoy and as always, safe trades!
BlackScrum Swing Boxes 1/2/3 After seeing influencers selling their indicator suite's online, I decided to start making replicas of them, maybe mine are better, maybe they are worse. I use them in my day to day trading and they help me make money, hopefully they help you make money.
Not financial advice, Do Your Own Research.
Everything provided without warranty or liability. If you stuff up, learn from it, get better, we all make mistakes.
// BlackScrum — 1/2/3-Bar Swing Boxes (auto timeframe)
//
// DESCRIPTION
// This indicator displays three swing-direction boxes (1B, 2B, 3B) in the top-right corner of the chart.
// The boxes automatically adapt to the chart's timeframe (15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, etc.).
// Each box represents the direction of the most recently confirmed swing pivot:
// • 1B → 1-bar swing (fastest, most sensitive)
// • 2B → 2-bar swing (medium confirmation)
// • 3B → 3-bar swing (slowest, strongest confirmation)
//
// COLORS
// • GREEN = last confirmed swing pivot was a higher low (up swing)
// • RED = last confirmed swing pivot was a lower high (down swing)
// • GREY = no clear swing yet (fresh/transition area)
//
// CONFLUENCE
// • ALL GREEN = bullish alignment across 1B, 2B, 3B → strong trend continuation signal
// • ALL RED = bearish alignment across all three → strong downtrend continuation signal
//
// HOW TO USE (TRADEPLAY)
//
// 1) ENTRIES
// • Aggressive entry → enter when ALL GREEN prints on your timeframe.
// • Safer pullback entry → wait for 1B to briefly turn red during a green 2B/3B,
// then flip back to green. Enter on the re-flip.
// • Multi-timeframe filter:
// Take longs only when higher TF (e.g., 1H/4H) boxes are at least neutral-to-green.
//
// 2) EXITS
// • Weakness exit → when 1B flips against your position while 2B is neutral/red.
// • Full exit → when ALL RED prints.
// • Time stop → if price hasn’t moved after several bars of your execution timeframe.
//
// 3) STOP-LOSS / RISK
// • Place stops beyond the latest opposite swing used by 2B or 3B.
// • Add 0.5–1× ATR buffer if your market has stop-hunt volatility.
// • Always size position based on the distance to the swing stop.
//
// 4) WHEN TO IGNORE SIGNALS
// • Chop zones → 1B flipping repeatedly while 2B/3B disagree.
// • News candles → wait for pivots to confirm on the *closed* bar.
//
// 5) USING WITH OTHER TOOLS
// • With a trend ribbon (e.g., Larsson-style):
// Only take ALL GREEN longs when the ribbon is UP, and ALL RED shorts when ribbon is DOWN.
// • With a Fear & Greed index:
// Prefer longs when F&G > 60,
// Avoid longs when F&G < 40 unless countertrend scalping.
//
// 6) TIMEFRAME GUIDANCE
// • Scalping: 5m / 15m, confirmed by 1H or 4H boxes.
// • Swinging: 1H / 4H with daily filter.
// • Positioning: 1D with weekly confirmation.
//
// 7) INTERPRETATION CHEATSHEET
// • 1B green, 2B grey, 3B red → short-term bounce inside higher timeframe downtrend.
// • 1B/2B green, 3B grey → early trend reversal forming.
// • All grey → fresh swing area; wait for direction.
//
// 8) CUSTOMIZATION

TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1×ATR, TP = 2×ATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.
---
## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensible—both for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.

GTI BGTI: RSI Suite (Standard • Stochastic • Smoothed)
A three-layer momentum and trend toolkit that combines Standard RSI, Stochastic RSI, and a Smoothed/“Macro” RSI to help you read intraday swings, trend transitions, and high-probability reversal/continuation spots.
All in one pane with intuitive coloring and optional divergence markers and alerts.
Why this works
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) visualizes fast momentum swings and timing.
* Standard RSI moves more gradually, helping confirm trend transitions that may span several Stochastic cycles.
* Smoothed RSI (Average → Macro) adds a second-pass filter and slope persistence to reveal the macro direction while suppressing noise.
Used together, Stochastic guides entries/exits around local highs/lows, while the RSI layers improve confidence when a small swing is likely part of a larger turn.
What you’ll see
* Standard RSI (yellow; pink above Bull line, aqua below Bear line).
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) with contextual colors:
* Greens when RSI is weak/oversold (bearish conditions → watch for bullish reversals/continuations).
* Reds when RSI is strong/overbought (bullish conditions → watch for bearish reversals/continuations).
* Smoothed (Macro) RSI with trend color:
* Red when macro is ascending (bullish),
* Aqua when macro is descending (bearish).
* Divergences (optional markers):
* Bearish: RSI Lower High + Price Higher High (red ⬇).
* Bullish: RSI Higher Low + Price Lower Low (green ⬆).
* No repaint: pivots confirm after the chosen right-bars window.
How to use it
* Bullish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a higher low after price has been in a overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall downtrend
* Bullish Oversold
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly low level after price has a short but strong dip during an overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall uptrend
* Bullish Continuation
* Macro RSI is ascending with a strong slope or forming a higher low above the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a bottom but still painted red
* Bearish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a lower high after price has been in a overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall uptrend
* Bearish Overbought
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly high level after price has a short but strong jump during an overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall downtrend
* Bearish Continuation
* Macro RSI is descending with a strong slope or forming a lower high below the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a top but still painted green
* Divergences: Use as signals of exhaustion—best when aligned with Macro RSI color/slope and key levels (e.g., Bull/Bear lines, 50 midline).
*** IMPORTANT ***
* Stack confluence, don’t single-signal trade. Look for:
* 1) Macro RSI color & slope (red = ascending/bullish, aqua = descending/bearish)
* 2) Standard RSI location (above/below Bull/Bear lines or 50)
* 3) Stoch flip + direction
* 4) Price structure (HH/HL vs LH/LL)
* 5) Divergence type (regular vs hidden) at meaningful levels
* Trade with the macro
* Prioritize longs when Macro RSI is red or just flipped up
* Prioritize shorts when Macro RSI is aqua or just flipped down
* Counter-trend setups = smaller size and faster management.
* Location > signal
* The same crossover/divergence is higher quality near Bull (~60)/Bear(~40) or extremes than in the mid-range chop around 50.
* Early vs confirmed
* Use the early pivot heads-up for anticipation, but scale in only after the confirmed pivot (right-bars complete). If early signal fails to confirm, stand down.
* Define invalidation upfront
* For divergence entries, place stops beyond the pivot extreme (LL/HH). If Macro RSI flips against your trade or RSI breaks back through 50 with slope, exit or tighten.
* Multi-timeframe alignment
* Best results come when entry timeframe (e.g., 1H) aligns with higher-TF macro (e.g., 4H/D). If they disagree, treat it as mean-reversion only.
* Avoid common traps
* Skip: isolated Stochastic flips without RSI support, divergences without price HH/LL confirmation, and serial divergences when Macro RSI slope is strong against the idea.
* Parameter guidance
* Start with defaults; then tune: confirmBars 3–7, minSlope 0.05–0.15 RSI pts/bar, pivot left/right tighter for faster but noisier signals, wider for cleaner but fewer.
* Alerts = workflow, not auto-trades
* Use Macro Flip + Divergence alerts as a checklist trigger; enter only when your confluence rules are met and risk is defined.
Key inputs (tweak to your market/timeframe)
* RSI / Stochastic lengths and K/D smoothing.
* Bull / Bear Lines (default 61.1 / 43.6).
* Average RSI Method/Length (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA) + Macro Smooth Length.
* Trend confirmation: bars of persistence and minimum slope to reduce flip noise.
* Pivot look-back (left/right) for divergence confirmation strictness.
Alerts included
* Macro Flip Up / Down (Smoothed RSI regime change).
* RSI Bullish/Bearish Divergence (confirmed at pivot).
* Stochastic RSI continuation/divergence (optional).
Tips
* Level + Slope matter. High/low RSI level flags conditions; slope confirms impulse/continuation.
* Let Stochastic time the swing; let Macro RSI filter the trend.
* Tighten or loosen pivot windows to trade fewer/cleaner vs. more/faster signals.
Sinal de Shorts e Longs (OI + OBV + RSI)This indicator combines Open Interest (OI), On-Balance Volume (OBV), and RSI to identify potential short and long pressures in the market.
When OI increases, OBV decreases, and RSI > 40, it signals short entries and possible bearish pressure.
When OI increases, OBV also increases, and RSI < 60, it signals long entries and potential bullish reversals.
Visual signals (S and L) are displayed directly on the chart for quick interpretation.
Useful for tracking futures market sentiment and spotting shifts in trader positioning.

Quantum Fluxtrend [CHE] Quantum Fluxtrend — A dynamic Supertrend variant with integrated breakout event tracking and VWAP-guided risk management for clearer trend decisions.
Summary
The Quantum Fluxtrend builds on traditional Supertrend logic by incorporating a midline derived from smoothed high and low values, creating adaptive bands that respond to market range expansion or contraction. This results in fewer erratic signals during volatile periods and smoother tracking in steady trends, while an overlaid event system highlights breakout confirmations, potential traps, or continuations with visual lines, labels, and percentage deltas from the close. Users benefit from real-time VWAP calculations anchored to events, providing dynamic stop-loss suggestions to help manage exits without manual adjustments. Overall, it layers signal robustness with actionable annotations, reducing noise in fast-moving charts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard Supertrend indicators often generate excessive flips in choppy conditions or lag behind in low-volatility drifts, leading to whipsaws that erode confidence in trend direction. This design addresses that by centering bands around a midline that reflects recent price spreads, ensuring adjustments are proportional to observed variability. The added event layer captures regime shifts explicitly, turning abstract crossovers into labeled milestones with trailing VWAP for context, which helps traders distinguish genuine momentum from fleeting noise without over-relying on raw price action.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Diverges from the classic Supertrend, which uses average true range for fixed offsets from a median price.
- Architecture differences:
- Bands form around a central line averaged from smoothed highs and lows, with offsets scaled by half the range between those smooths.
- Regime direction persists until a clear breach of the prior opposite band, preventing premature reversals.
- Event visualization draws persistent lines from flip points, updating labels based on price sustainment relative to the trigger level.
- VWAP resets at each event, accumulating volume-weighted prices forward for a trailing reference.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer direction changes overall, with color-coded annotations that evolve from initial breakout to continuation or trap status, making it easier to spot sustained moves early. VWAP lines provide a volume-informed anchor that curves with price, offering visual cues for adverse drifts.
How it works (technical)
The process starts by smoothing high and low prices over a user-defined period to form upper and lower references. A midline sits midway between them, and half the spread acts as a base for band offsets, adjusted by a multiplier to widen or narrow sensitivity. On each bar, the close is checked against the previous bar's opposite band: crossing above expands the lower band downward in uptrends, or below contracts the upper band upward in downtrends, creating a ratcheting effect that locks in direction until breached.
Persistent state tracks the current regime, seeding initial bands from the smoothed values if no prior data exists. Flips trigger new horizontal lines at the breach level, styled by direction, alongside labels that monitor sustainment—price holding above for up-flips or below for down-flips keeps the regime, while reversal flags a trap.
Separately, at each flip, a dashed VWAP line initializes at the breach price and extends forward, accumulating the product of typical prices and volumes divided by total volume. This yields a curving reference that updates bar-by-bar. Warnings activate if price strays adversely from this VWAP, tinting the background for quick alerts.
No higher timeframe data is pulled, so all computations run on the chart's native resolution, avoiding lookahead biases unless repainting is enabled via input.
Parameter Guide
SMA Length — Controls smoothing of highs and lows for midline and range base; longer values dampen noise but increase lag. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Shortens responsiveness in trends (e.g., 10–14) but risks more flips; extend to 30+ for stability in ranging markets.
Multiplier — Scales band offsets from the half-range; higher amplifies to capture bigger swings. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs: Above 1.5 widens for volatile assets, reducing false signals; below 0.8 tightens for precision but may miss subtle shifts.
Show Bands — Toggles visibility of basic and adjusted band lines for reference. Default: false. Tip: Enable briefly to verify alignment with price action.
Show Background Color — Displays red tint on VWAP adverse crosses for visual warnings. Default: false. Trade-offs: Helps in live monitoring but can clutter clean charts.
Line Width — Sets thickness for event and VWAP lines. Default: 2. Tip: Thicker (3–5) for emphasis on key levels.
+Bars after next event — Extends old lines briefly before cleanup on new flips. Default: 20. Trade-offs: Longer preserves history (40+) at resource cost; shorter keeps charts tidy.
Allow Repainting — Permits live-bar updates for smoother real-time view. Default: false. Tip: Disable for backtest accuracy.
Extension 1 Settings (Show, Width, Size, Decimals, Colors, Alpha) — Manages dotted connector from event label to current close, showing percentage change. Defaults: Shown, width 2, normal size, 2 decimals, lime/red for gains/losses, gray line, 90% transparent background. Trade-offs: Fewer decimals for clean display; adjust alpha for readability.
Extension 2 Settings (Show, Method, Stop %, Ticks, Decimals, Size, Color, Inherit, Alpha) — Positions stop label at VWAP end, offset by percent or ticks. Defaults: Shown, percent method, 1.0%, 20 ticks, 4 decimals, normal size, white text, inherit tint, 0% alpha. Trade-offs: Percent for proportional risk; ticks for fixed distance in tick-based assets.
Alert Toggles — Enables notifications for breakouts, continuations, traps, or VWAP warnings. All default: true. Tip: Layer with chart alerts for multi-condition setups.
Reading & Interpretation
The main Supertrend line colors green for up-regimes (price above lower band) and red for down (below upper band), serving as a dynamic support/resistance trail. Flip shapes (up/down triangles) mark regime changes at band breaches.
Event lines extend horizontally from flips: green for bull, red for bear. Labels start blank and update to "Bull/Bear Cont." if price sustains the direction, or "Trap" if it reverses, with colors shifting lime/red/gray accordingly. A dotted vertical links the trailing label to the current close, mid-labeled with the percentage delta (positive green, negative red).
VWAP dashes yellow (bull) or orange (bear) from the event, curving to reflect volume-weighted average. At its end, a left-aligned label shows suggested stop price, annotated with offset details. Background red hints at weakening if price crosses VWAP opposite the regime.
Deltas near zero suggest consolidation; widening extremes signal momentum buildup or exhaustion.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green flip shapes confirmed by higher highs, using the event line as initial stop below. Trail stops to VWAP for bull runs, exiting on trap labels or red background warnings. Filter with volume spikes to avoid low-conviction breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative: Set hard stops at suggested SL labels. Aggressive: Hold through minor traps if delta stays positive, but cut on regime flip. Pair with momentum oscillators for overbought pullbacks.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m–4H; for crypto, bump multiplier to 1.5 for volatility. Scale SMA length proportionally across timeframes (e.g., double for daily). Combine with structure tools like Fibonacci for confluence on event lines.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Live bars update lines and labels dynamically if repainting is allowed, but signals confirm on close for stability—flips only trigger post-bar. No higher timeframe calls, so no inherent lookahead, though volume weighting assumes continuous data.
Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels max; events prune old ones on new flips to stay under budget, with brief extensions for visibility. Arrays or loops absent, keeping it lightweight.
Known limits include lag in extreme gaps (e.g., overnight opens) where bands may not adjust instantly, and VWAP sensitivity to sparse volume in illiquid sessions.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with SMA 20, multiplier 1.0 for balanced response across majors. For choppy pairs: Lengthen SMA to 30, multiplier 0.8 to tighten bands and cut flips. For trending equities: Shorten to 14, multiplier 1.2 for quicker entries. If traps dominate, enable bands to inspect range compression; for sluggish signals, reduce extension bars to focus on recent events.

Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC)The Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC) is a technical momentum indicator developed by Larry Williams that combines three different time periods to reduce the volatility and false signals common in single-period oscillators. By using a weighted average of three Stochastic-like calculations across short, medium, and long-term periods, the Ultimate Oscillator provides a more comprehensive view of market momentum while maintaining sensitivity to price changes.
The indicator addresses the common problem of oscillators being either too sensitive (generating many false signals) or too slow (missing opportunities). By incorporating multiple timeframes with decreasing weights for longer periods, ULTOSC attempts to capture both short-term momentum shifts and longer-term trend strength, making it particularly valuable for identifying divergences and potential reversal points.
## Core Concepts
* **Multi-timeframe analysis:** Combines three different periods (typically 7, 14, 28) to capture various momentum cycles
* **Weighted averaging:** Assigns higher weights to shorter periods for responsiveness while including longer periods for stability
* **Buying pressure focus:** Measures the relationship between closing price and the true range rather than just high-low range
* **Divergence detection:** Particularly effective at identifying momentum divergences that precede price reversals
* **Normalized scale:** Oscillates between 0 and 100, with clear overbought/oversold levels
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Fast Period | 7 | Short-term momentum calculation | Lower (5-6) for more sensitivity, higher (9-12) for smoother signals |
| Medium Period | 14 | Medium-term momentum calculation | Adjust based on typical swing duration in the market |
| Slow Period | 28 | Long-term momentum calculation | Higher values (35-42) for longer-term position trading |
| Fast Weight | 4.0 | Weight applied to fast period | Higher weight increases short-term sensitivity |
| Medium Weight | 2.0 | Weight applied to medium period | Adjust to balance medium-term influence |
| Slow Weight | 1.0 | Weight applied to slow period | Usually kept at 1.0 as the baseline weight |
**Pro Tip:** The classic 7/14/28 periods with 4/2/1 weights work well for most markets, but consider using 5/10/20 with adjusted weights for faster markets or 14/28/56 for longer-term analysis.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
The Ultimate Oscillator calculates three separate "buying pressure" ratios using different time periods, then combines them using weighted averaging. Buying pressure is defined as the close minus the true low, divided by the true range.
**Technical formula:**
```
BP = Close - Min(Low, Previous Close)
TR = Max(High, Previous Close) - Min(Low, Previous Close)
BP_Sum_Fast = Sum(BP, Fast Period)
TR_Sum_Fast = Sum(TR, Fast Period)
Raw_Fast = 100 × (BP_Sum_Fast / TR_Sum_Fast)
BP_Sum_Medium = Sum(BP, Medium Period)
TR_Sum_Medium = Sum(TR, Medium Period)
Raw_Medium = 100 × (BP_Sum_Medium / TR_Sum_Medium)
BP_Sum_Slow = Sum(BP, Slow Period)
TR_Sum_Slow = Sum(TR, Slow Period)
Raw_Slow = 100 × (BP_Sum_Slow / TR_Sum_Slow)
ULTOSC = 100 × / (Fast_Weight + Medium_Weight + Slow_Weight)
```
Where:
- BP = Buying Pressure
- TR = True Range
- Fast Period = 7, Medium Period = 14, Slow Period = 28 (defaults)
- Fast Weight = 4, Medium Weight = 2, Slow Weight = 1 (defaults)
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The implementation uses efficient circular buffers for all three period calculations, maintaining O(1) time complexity per bar. The algorithm properly handles true range calculations including gaps and ensures accurate buying pressure measurements across all timeframes.
## Interpretation Details
ULTOSC provides several analytical perspectives:
* **Overbought/Oversold conditions:** Values above 70 suggest overbought conditions, below 30 suggest oversold conditions
* **Momentum direction:** Rising ULTOSC indicates increasing buying pressure, falling indicates increasing selling pressure
* **Divergence analysis:** Divergences between ULTOSC and price often precede significant reversals
* **Trend confirmation:** ULTOSC direction can confirm or question the prevailing price trend
* **Signal quality:** Extreme readings (>80 or <20) indicate strong momentum that may be unsustainable
* **Multiple timeframe consensus:** When all three underlying periods agree, signals are typically more reliable
## Trading Applications
**Primary Uses:**
- **Divergence trading:** Identify when momentum diverges from price for reversal signals
- **Overbought/oversold identification:** Find potential entry/exit points at extreme levels
- **Trend confirmation:** Validate breakouts and trend continuations
- **Momentum analysis:** Assess the strength of current price movements
**Advanced Strategies:**
- **Multi-divergence confirmation:** Look for divergences across multiple timeframes
- **Momentum breakouts:** Trade when ULTOSC breaks above/below key levels with volume
- **Swing trading entries:** Use oversold/overbought levels for swing position entries
- **Trend strength assessment:** Evaluate trend quality using momentum consistency
## Signal Combinations
**Strong Bullish Signals:**
- ULTOSC rises from oversold territory (<30) with positive price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks above 50 after forming a base near 30
- All three underlying periods show increasing buying pressure
**Strong Bearish Signals:**
- ULTOSC falls from overbought territory (>70) with negative price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks below 50 after forming a top near 70
- All three underlying periods show decreasing buying pressure
**Divergence Signals:**
- **Bullish divergence:** Price makes lower lows while ULTOSC makes higher lows
- **Bearish divergence:** Price makes higher highs while ULTOSC makes lower highs
- **Hidden bullish divergence:** Price makes higher lows while ULTOSC makes lower lows (trend continuation)
- **Hidden bearish divergence:** Price makes lower highs while ULTOSC makes higher highs (trend continuation)

| **RSI** | 1 period | Price momentum | Momentum analysis |
| **Williams %R** | 1 period | Price position | Short-term signals |
## Advanced Configurations
**Fast Trading Setup:**
- Fast: 5, Medium: 10, Slow: 20
- Weights: 4/2/1, Thresholds: 75/25
**Standard Setup:**
- Fast: 7, Medium: 14, Slow: 28
- Weights: 4/2/1, Thresholds: 70/30
**Conservative Setup:**
- Fast: 14, Medium: 28, Slow: 56
- Weights: 3/2/1, Thresholds: 65/35
**Divergence Focused:**
- Fast: 7, Medium: 14, Slow: 28
- Weights: 2/2/2, Thresholds: 70/30
## Market-Specific Adjustments
**Volatile Markets:**
- Use longer periods (10/20/40) to reduce noise
- Consider higher threshold levels (75/25)
- Focus on extreme readings for signal quality
**Trending Markets:**
- Emphasize divergence analysis over absolute levels
- Look for momentum confirmation rather than reversal signals
- Use hidden divergences for trend continuation
**Range-Bound Markets:**
- Standard overbought/oversold levels work well
- Trade reversals from extreme levels
- Combine with support/resistance analysis
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Lagging component:** Contains inherent lag due to multiple moving average calculations
* **Complex calculation:** More computationally intensive than single-period oscillators
* **Parameter sensitivity:** Performance varies significantly with different period/weight combinations
* **Market dependency:** Most effective in trending markets with clear momentum patterns
* **False divergences:** Not all divergences lead to significant price reversals
* **Whipsaw potential:** Can generate conflicting signals in choppy markets
## Best Practices
**Effective Usage:**
- Focus on divergences rather than absolute overbought/oversold levels
- Combine with trend analysis for context
- Use multiple timeframe analysis for confirmation
- Pay attention to the speed of momentum changes
**Common Mistakes:**
- Over-relying on overbought/oversold levels in strong trends
- Ignoring the underlying trend direction
- Using inappropriate period settings for the market being analyzed
- Trading every divergence without additional confirmation
**Signal Enhancement:**
- Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
- Use price action context (support/resistance levels)
- Consider market volatility when setting thresholds
- Look for convergence across multiple momentum indicators
## Historical Context and Development
The Ultimate Oscillator was developed by Larry Williams and introduced in his 1985 article "The Ultimate Oscillator" in Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Williams designed it to address the limitations of single-period oscillators by:
- Reducing false signals through multi-timeframe analysis
- Maintaining sensitivity to short-term momentum changes
- Providing more reliable divergence signals
- Creating a more robust momentum measurement tool
The indicator has become a standard tool in technical analysis, particularly valued for its divergence detection capabilities and its balanced approach to momentum measurement.

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

iFVG Strategie by Futures.RobbyiFVG Strategy Checklist by Futures.Robby
Updated: October 27, 2025
Description
This script is a manual checklist designed to help traders evaluate their setups based on the iFVG (Fair Value Gap) strategy. It serves solely as a visual aid and does not perform automatic analysis, signal generation, or trade execution.
How It Works
The script creates an interactive checklist directly on the chart. Traders manually select which criteria are met, and the script calculates a percentage score, displaying it with color coding:
Green (≥ 60%): Good fulfillment of criteria
Orange (40–59%): Partial fulfillment
Red (< 40%): Poor fulfillment
Checklist Criteria
The checklist is divided into two main sections:

Ehlers Ultrasmooth Filter (USF)# USF: Ultrasmooth Filter
## Overview and Purpose
The Ultrasmooth Filter (USF) is an advanced signal processing tool that represents the pinnacle of noise reduction technology for financial time series. Developed by John Ehlers, this filter implements a complex algorithm that provides exceptional smoothing capabilities while minimizing the lag typically associated with heavy filtering. USF builds upon the Super Smooth Filter (SSF) with enhanced noise suppression characteristics, making it particularly valuable for identifying clear trends in extremely noisy market conditions where even traditional smoothing techniques struggle to produce clean signals.
## Core Concepts
* **Maximum noise suppression:** Provides the highest level of noise reduction among Ehlers' filter designs
* **Optimized coefficient structure:** Uses carefully designed mathematical relationships to achieve superior filtering performance
* **Market application:** Particularly effective for long-term trend identification and minimizing false signals in highly volatile market conditions
The core innovation of USF is its second-order filter structure with optimized coefficients that create an exceptionally smooth frequency response. By careful mathematical design, USF achieves near-optimal noise suppression characteristics while minimizing the lag and waveform distortion that typically accompany such heavy filtering. This makes it especially valuable for identifying major market trends amid significant short-term volatility.
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Length | 20 | Controls the cutoff period | Increase for smoother signals, decrease for more responsiveness |
| Source | close | Price data used for calculation | Consider using hlc3 for a more balanced price representation |
**Pro Tip:** USF is ideal for defining major market trends - try using it with a length of 40-60 on daily charts to identify dominant market direction and ignoring shorter-term noise completely.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
The Ultrasmooth Filter creates an extremely clean price representation by combining current and past price data with previous filter outputs using precisely calculated mathematical relationships. This creates a highly effective "averaging" process that removes virtually all market noise while still maintaining the essential trend information.
**Technical formula:**
USF = (1-c1)X + (2c1-c2)X₁ - (c1+c3)X₂ + c2×USF₁ + c3×USF₂
Where coefficients are calculated as:
- a1 = exp(-1.414π/length)
- b1 = 2a1 × cos(1.414 × 180/length)
- c1 = (1 + c2 - c3)/4
- c2 = b1
- c3 = -a1²
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The filter combines both feed-forward (X terms) and feedback (USF terms) components in a second-order structure, creating a response with exceptional roll-off characteristics and minimal passband ripple.
## Interpretation Details
The Ultrasmooth Filter can be used in various trading strategies:
* **Major trend identification:** The direction of USF indicates the dominant market trend with minimal noise interference
* **Signal generation:** Crossovers between price and USF generate high-reliability trade signals with minimal false positives
* **Support/resistance levels:** USF can act as strong dynamic support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends
* **Market regime identification:** The slope of USF helps identify whether markets are in trending or consolidation phases
* **Multiple timeframe analysis:** Using USF across different chart timeframes creates a cohesive picture of nested trend structures
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Significant lag:** The extreme smoothing comes with increased lag compared to lighter filters
* **Initialization period:** Requires more bars than simpler filters to stabilize at the start of data
* **Less suitable for short-term trading:** Generally too slow-responding for short-term strategies
* **Parameter sensitivity:** Performance depends on appropriate length selection for the timeframe
* **Complementary tools:** Best used alongside faster-responding indicators for timing signals

Ehlers Even Better Sinewave (EBSW)# EBSW: Ehlers Even Better Sinewave
## Overview and Purpose
The Ehlers Even Better Sinewave (EBSW) indicator, developed by John Ehlers, is an advanced cycle analysis tool. This implementation is based on a common interpretation that uses a cascade of filters: first, a High-Pass Filter (HPF) to detrend price data, followed by a Super Smoother Filter (SSF) to isolate the dominant cycle. The resulting filtered wave is then normalized using an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) mechanism, producing a bounded oscillator that fluctuates between approximately +1 and -1. It aims to provide a clear and responsive measure of market cycles.
## Core Concepts
* **Detrending (High-Pass Filter):** A 1-pole High-Pass Filter removes the longer-term trend component from the price data, allowing the indicator to focus on cyclical movements.
* **Cycle Smoothing (Super Smoother Filter):** Ehlers' Super Smoother Filter is applied to the detrended data to further refine the cycle component, offering effective smoothing with relatively low lag.
* **Wave Generation:** The output of the SSF is averaged over a short period (typically 3 bars) to create the primary "wave".
* **Automatic Gain Control (AGC):** The wave's amplitude is normalized by dividing it by the square root of its recent power (average of squared values). This keeps the oscillator bounded and responsive to changes in volatility.
* **Normalized Oscillator:** The final output is a single sinewave-like oscillator.
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
| ----------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Source | close | Price data used for calculation. | Typically `close`, but `hlc3` or `ohlc4` can be used for a more comprehensive price representation. |
| HP Length | 40 | Lookback period for the 1-pole High-Pass Filter used for detrending. | Shorter periods make the filter more responsive to shorter cycles; longer periods focus on longer-term cycles. Adjust based on observed cycle characteristics. |
| SSF Length | 10 | Lookback period for the Super Smoother Filter used for smoothing the detrended cycle component. | Shorter periods result in a more responsive (but potentially noisier) wave; longer periods provide more smoothing. |
**Pro Tip:** The `HP Length` and `SSF Length` parameters should be tuned based on the typical cycle lengths observed in the market and the desired responsiveness of the indicator.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
1. Remove the trend from the price data using a 1-pole High-Pass Filter.
2. Smooth the detrended data using a Super Smoother Filter to get a clean cycle component.
3. Average the output of the Super Smoother Filter over the last 3 bars to create a "Wave".
4. Calculate the average "Power" of the Super Smoother Filter output over the last 3 bars.
5. Normalize the "Wave" by dividing it by the square root of the "Power" to get the final EBSW value.
**Technical formula (conceptual):**
1. **High-Pass Filter (HPF - 1-pole):**
`angle_hp = 2 * PI / hpLength`
`alpha1_hp = (1 - sin(angle_hp)) / cos(angle_hp)`
`HP = (0.5 * (1 + alpha1_hp) * (src - src )) + alpha1_hp * HP `
2. **Super Smoother Filter (SSF):**
`angle_ssf = sqrt(2) * PI / ssfLength`
`alpha2_ssf = exp(-angle_ssf)`
`beta_ssf = 2 * alpha2_ssf * cos(angle_ssf)`
`c2 = beta_ssf`
`c3 = -alpha2_ssf^2`
`c1 = 1 - c2 - c3`
`Filt = c1 * (HP + HP )/2 + c2*Filt + c3*Filt `
3. **Wave Generation:**
`WaveVal = (Filt + Filt + Filt ) / 3`
4. **Power & Automatic Gain Control (AGC):**
`Pwr = (Filt^2 + Filt ^2 + Filt ^2) / 3`
`EBSW_SineWave = WaveVal / sqrt(Pwr)` (with check for Pwr == 0)
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The combination of HPF and SSF creates a form of band-pass filter. The AGC mechanism ensures the output remains scaled, typically between -1 and +1, making it behave like a normalized oscillator.
## Interpretation Details
* **Cycle Identification:** The EBSW wave shows the current phase and strength of the dominant market cycle as filtered by the indicator. Peaks suggest cycle tops, and troughs suggest cycle bottoms.
* **Trend Reversals/Momentum Shifts:** When the EBSW wave crosses the zero line, it can indicate a potential shift in the short-term cyclical momentum.
* Crossing up through zero: Potential start of a bullish cyclical phase.
* Crossing down through zero: Potential start of a bearish cyclical phase.
* **Overbought/Oversold Levels:** While normalized, traders often establish subjective or statistically derived overbought/oversold levels (e.g., +0.85 and -0.85, or other values like +0.7, +0.9).
* Reaching above the overbought level and turning down may signal a potential cyclical peak.
* Falling below the oversold level and turning up may signal a potential cyclical trough.
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Parameter Sensitivity:** The indicator's performance depends on tuning `hpLength` and `ssfLength` to prevailing market conditions.
* **Non-Stationary Markets:** In strongly trending markets with weak cyclical components, or in very choppy non-cyclical conditions, the EBSW may produce less reliable signals.
* **Lag:** All filtering introduces some lag. The Super Smoother Filter is designed to minimize this for its degree of smoothing, but lag is still present.
* **Whipsaws:** Rapid oscillations around the zero line can occur in volatile or directionless markets.
* **Requires Confirmation:** Signals from EBSW are often best confirmed with other forms of technical analysis (e.g., price action, volume, other non-correlated indicators).
