Soldiers Pattern ModifiedThis can be perceived as modified 3 soldiers, relaxed NR4 or even extended harami candlestick pattern.
Works for any instrument and any timeframe.
The idea is to find out any number of candles having their individual highs and lows, all within high and low range of base candle.
The count of soldiers and if they must be of same color, both can be configured.
Additional configurable settings is to add further check of having body of soldiers as well within body of base candle.
Trading strategy: Trade high or low breakout of base candle, having other as stop loss, for a risk reward ratio of 1:2.

Candlestick Patterns Strategy (revisited)This strategy is used as a benchmark to see how it compares with other strategies posted by me recently. In all, the below collection of candlestick patterns appears to be one of the best among the ones that can be found here, imho.
Candle Patterns StrategyThe script allows you to test popular candlestick patterns on various instruments and timeframes. In addition, you can configure risk management (if the value is zero, it means the function is disabled), and you can also specify the time of the trading session (for example, so that the positions are not transferred to the next day).
The author is grateful to JayRogers and Phi35, their code examples helped a lot in writing the strategy.

Alpha Candle Breakout Signal on Momentum from Support Resistance
Hello traders,
Let’s start with a brief description of what this strategy/indicator is and what it does and how we trade based on Alpha Candles.
The definition of an Alpha Candle is that it is mathematically calculated, and significantly bigger than the previous candles. This could be a green candle or a red candle, as long as the body is significantly bigger than the previous candles at the end of the calculation. All calculations are done in real time, we do NOT paint the candle sticks after the close of the candle and do not use offset values. This is extremely important. You will see the candle changing it's color as the body of the candle gets bigger with real time data feed. (Recalculate On Every Tick is ON by default). Now besides the mathematical calculations, an Alpha Candle also represents the emotion in the market for that stock in that moment. We can also say that an Alpha Candle is a change in the momentum.
Now that we’ve identified the Alpha candle, the second step is, to have a look at the chart and identify if the Alpha candle is breaking to a new high / low from a consolidation period, or from a good chart pattern (ascending / descending triangle , pennant , sideways consolidation) or a sudden direction change of the stock (bounce). Remember, the script will paint all Alpha candles regardless.
NVAX day trading example
Forex
Crypto
PLUG (Bounce example)
The script will identify the Alpha candles that are breaking to a new high / low from a user input look back period (default is 20 bars back, but this can be changed by the user input). An Alpha candle that breaks the look back period, will have a stop loss line below for Green Alpha or above for Red Alpha Candle and reward targets, like target1 or target2 (both are user input fields, can be adjusted to personal R values, default values are 2R and 3R)
A 2R means two times the reward (profit) of a 1-unit risk. If you are comfortable of loosing $50 per trade which will be considered 1-unit, then 2R means $100 reward (profit) target and a 3R is $150 reward (profit) target. Those R values will be plotted and/or labelled on the chart with dollar amounts if desired. You can change your R values from the user input area, even with decimal points, like 2.5R or 3.75R. If you shoot for at least 2R, you could be wrong 6 times out of 10, and still make 2R profit, as long as the other 4 trades give you a total of 8R. This is a basic trading concept. It will force the new traders to focus on risk/reward rather then a gambling attitude.
The script is meant to work with candle stick chart patterns only, it is NOT meant to work with ranges, line charts or point and figure charts. It will work with time frames like (seconds,1,2,3,5,10 minute or any minutes, daily, weekly). If you are trading IPOs , there might not be enough data for the script to do the calculation, so just be aware.
The script will identify the candles if they are Green Alpha (going up, bullish ) or Red Alpha (going down, bearish ). In order to see them clearly, we’ve greyed out the rest of the candles, and made Green Alpha candles white, and Red Alphas are left as red. You can change the colors from the user input area.
There is also a look back period, between 1-55 and the initial value is 20 for Green Alpha and 10 for Red Alpha. So, if the Alpha Candle breaks this look back period, it will be considered as an opportunity to take the trade. The code will put the stop loss area, possible target1 and target2 areas with a blue diamond and will draw the resistance/support lines for that Alpha candle. Depending on the individual’s risk tolerance, a label on the right side of the screen will show the risk tolerance (user input value) and the number of shares to be traded based on the risk tolerance (# of shares will be for the last Alpha Candle that is formed, it will constantly update itself with the new Alpha Candle)
For those who might be familiar with the three-bar play, we implemented something similar, so the code will find them in real time. Once an Alpha Candle is formed, if the following candle is a very small candle, also called pin bar , it will be painted to orange, so you can see it clearly. This pin bar is significantly smaller than the previous candles and formed right after an Alpha Candle.
Like anything in life, nothing is free. Meaning you have to work for it. So if you are looking to buy/sell blindly based on some indicators and signals, please do not consider this script. However, once you start using it, you will see how patterns repeat, when they repeat and how they repeat. It will identify the action, but you have to check the validity from the charts, so user discretionary is advised. As an example, if the Alpha candle is breaking from a consolidation period at $10. Let’s assume stop loss is at $9 so the 2R target will be $12, but if there is a possible resistance at $11, then the trader has to decide to take the trade for a possible 1R return, or skip the trade.
We try to approach the trading as a set of rules and processing the trades one by one, with a calculated risk and reward. This script will give you the Candle stick formation that is worth consideration and will draw the Stop Loss area (you can tweak this to your liking), will draw the 2-3R Targets, and will calculate the number of shares to be purchased based on the Risk Tolerance user entered in the user input area. The rest is to let the trade take care of it self.
Charts and patterns work better, when there is enough volume in a particular stock. If the stock is trading very low in volume , things will not work as expected. So, we must focus on the abnormal stocks, like gap gainers, volume gainer stocks, or heavily traded stocks (for intraday trading). For swing or long-term traders, one could look for a Green Alpha candle, assess the risk and possible return and trade the plan on a daily chart pattern (long term), or 15,30,60 min charts for swing trades.
If you are looking to short a stock, look for stocks that are weak (gap downs), so look for Red Alpha formations in that stock.
Once the back testing is turned on, code will generate buy/sell signals, otherwise it will work as an indicator. But please keep in mind….. For day trading, the stock has to be abnormally trading, so the chart patterns and the Alpha Candles work correctly. Volume has to be more than usual. It is the best way to have predictable results for day trading. If the volume of the stock is 2-5 times or more than the average of 20 days period (early in the morning), and even more later in the day, it is a good indication that the stock is trading on an abnormal volume with some news (pre-market abnormality is a good sign for possible abnormality for that stock).
For back testing, user can select from the user input area :
• Long or Short Trades or both or use the script as an indicator
• Close any open position if an Alpha candle forms in the opposite direction
• Pyramid the trades up to 4 levels (allow to buy/sell 4 times in the same direction every time another Alpha Candle forms)
• Breakout/breakdown look back period (every time an Alpha Candle forms and breaks this look back period, it will be a trade opportunity)
• Target Reward areas
• Stop Loss area
• Time frame (change the time frame and observe which time frame made good profit. Test the plan for future trades. Test it in as many abnormal stocks for the day they were behaving abnormal as possible). Time frame is not a user input field, just the time frame of the chart, 2,5,10 min, 1 hour etc.
• Selective date testing (between two dates/times). This is very important as most of the good opportunities comes from abnormal price action with volume . If you back test with the maximum amount of data for that abnormal stock on that day, it will produce unrealistic results, because the stock will have a normal course of trend before the news. Remember, we are looking for stocks that are trading abnormal in both price and volume or stocks like AAPL , TSLA which are trading heavily on each day. It is also a good way to learn, how and when to buy/sell, where to put stop losses by observing the chart with the Alpha Candles showing the results.
• All the above values will have an impact on the total profit / loss.

Now that we’ve covered what the script does, let’s plan the trade and trade the plan.
Side Note:
-------------
We started coding this as an indicator to show the Alpha Candles to find opportunities in the market. Later in the development, we implemented it as a Strategy, to be able to back test the ideas, to tweak some rules for entry/exit and see the effects on our profit/loss percentages in general. We kept the original idea being an Indicator, to show us the Alpha Candles in real time. This requires the option “Indicator Mode” is to be selected from the User Input area, and leaving the “Recalculate On Every Tick” is selected from the Properties tab of the strategy (as of Pine Script v5). Strategy is turning this “On” by default.
Disclaimer: This script is an educational and personal use only tool and should be used accordingly. User can not publish any images created with this code. Do your own due diligence, do not buy / sell stocks based on any indicator, always use stop losses. We do not make any promises as this indicator or any indicator will make you a profitable trader. Trading and technical analysis is difficult, it takes time to build confidence and experience. Study the charts and candlestick formations. Study support/resistance areas and how to identify them. This will help you to tweak the script’s stop loss areas and 2R-3R targets. Do not invest any money you are not comfortable loosing.
This is an invite only strategy. We will give ample time to test it out. After that you will need to subscribe. To get access to this strategy trader can send me an email from the links below.
All the Best
Happy Trading
Daytrading ES Wick Length StrategyThis Pine Script strategy calculates the combined length of upper and lower wicks of candlesticks and uses a customizable moving average (MA) to identify potential long entry points. The strategy compares the total wick length to the MA with an added offset. If the wick length exceeds the offset-adjusted MA, the strategy enters a long position. The position is automatically closed after a user-defined holding period.
Key Features:
1. Calculates the sum of upper and lower wicks for each candlestick.
2. Offers four types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA) for analysis.
3. Allows the user to set a customizable MA length and an offset to shift the MA.
4. Automatically exits positions after a specified number of bars.
5. Visualizes the wick length as a histogram and the offset-adjusted MA as a line.

V15.0 Adaptive Chameleon [Pro]
# **V15.0 Adaptive Chameleon – Strategy Description**
**Adaptive Chameleon** is a fully automated TradingView strategy powered by a signal engine based on multi-timeframe trend analysis, adaptive moving averages, and a volatility filter. The goal is to trade in the direction of a strong and confirmed trend, avoid opening trades in weak or manipulative price zones, and establish positions with a clearly defined risk/reward ratio.
---
## **1. General Logic and Philosophy**
The strategy divides tasks between two timeframes:
* **4-Hour Chart → Trend Manager (Boss)**
Determines the direction and strength of the trend.
* **4-Minute Chart → Entry Trigger (Operating Unit)**
Generates the ideal entry signal in the direction of the trend.
Thanks to this structure, the strategy both follows the long-term main direction and finds clear entries with low lag on smaller timeframes.
---
## **2. Trend Detection (4H)**
The strategy uses **KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average)** and **ADX** to identify trends on the higher timeframe.
### **KAMA – Adaptive Trend Line**
* The KAMA is much more "smart" than traditional moving averages.
* It accelerates during price movements and decelerates during sideways movements.
* This allows for much clearer detection of trend direction.
### **ADX – Trend Strength Meter**
The strategy only opens trades when **trend strength** is rising (above the ADX average).
This prevents unnecessary trades when the trend is weak.
### **Trend Rules**
* Price above the KAMA → **Uptrend**
* Price below the KAMA → **Downtrend**
* ADX widening → **Trend strong**
The entry trigger is activated when these three conditions are met together.
---
## **3. Entry Engine (45m)**
On the 45-minute timeframe, the system uses the following components:
### **AlphaTrend (MFI + ATR-Based Adaptive Line)**
* Measures market flow direction with MFI (Money Flow Index),
* Measures price level breakouts with ATR (Volatility).
AlphaTrend detects whether the price is likely to reverse upwards or downwards.
### **Entry Signal**
* **Buy signal:** If the AlphaTrend has reversed upwards based on recent bars
* **Sell signal:** If the AlphaTrend has broken downwards
### **Pivot Points (For Stop)**
* The **pivotLow** and **pivotHigh** levels of the last 10 bars are calculated.
* These are used to determine the most logical stop distance.
---
## **4. Protection Shields**
The strategy uses two main filters to protect against the most dangerous conditions in the crypto market:
### **1. Pump/Dump Filter**
* A candlestick length greater than 4% is considered a "pump bar."
* Never open a trade on these bars.
The goal: to avoid sudden manipulation candlesticks.
### **2. RSI Filter**
* Long trades: RSI > 45 (open long on weak momentum)
* Short trades: RSI < 55 (open short on extremely strong momentum)
These filters provide more balanced entries.
---
## **5. Final Entry Conditions**
### **All conditions are required simultaneously for long:**
1. 4H trend up
2. ADX trend strength increasing
3. 45m AlphaTrend issued a "buy" signal
4. RSI > 45
5. No candlestick pump
6. Date range is suitable
### **All conditions apply in the opposite direction for short.**
---
## **6. Exit Mechanism (Stop, TP, Trailing)**
The strategy uses a three-layer structure on the exit side:
### **1. Pivot-Based Stop**
* Stop distance = Entry price − Pivot Low (for long)
* Minimum stop distance = **1% of the price**
Provides both structural and mathematical security.
### **2. Fixed R:R (Default 1:2)**
* TP = Entry + Stop Distance × R:R
The default 2R target is ideal for trend systems.
### **3. Optional Trailing Stop**
* Dynamic trailing stop that follows the price by a certain percentage.
* Allows trend trades to yield greater profits.
---
## **7. Chart Displays**
* Purple line:** 4H WEDGE (main trend line)
* Yellow background:** Pump protection is active (trades will not be opened on that bar)
---
## **8. Practical Effect of the Strategy**
This system has an adaptive structure based on trend variations.
**Strengths:**
* Very high accuracy (76–80% in SOL and ETH tests)
* Low drawdown (approximately 6–7%)
* Safe entries thanks to pump/dump and extreme momentum filters
* Clearly defined stop and target structure
* Low noise thanks to multi-timeframe compatibility
**Weaknesses:**
* Performance may decrease in sideways markets without trends
* Overtrading may occur if the ADX filter is closed
* Very small stops can sometimes cause unnecessary triggers
---
## **9. Conclusion**
**Adaptive Chameleon** is a trend-based and highly stable strategy with well-established risk management, manipulation filtering, and entry into lower timeframes with clear trend direction detection and low-latency signals.
SOL and ETH demonstrated strong and balanced performance in backtests with metrics such as:
* **600+ trades**
* **30–37% profit**
* **76–80% win rate**
* **Low max drawdown**
ORB Heikin Ashi SPY 5min Correlation StrategyOverview:
The ORB (Opening Range Breakout) strategy combined with Heikin Ashi candles and Relative Volume (RVOL) indicator aims to capitalize on significant price movements that occur shortly after the market opens. This strategy identifies breakouts above or below the opening range, using Heikin Ashi candles for smoother price visualization and RVOL to gauge the strength of the breakout.
Components:
Opening Range Breakout (ORB): The strategy starts by defining the opening range, typically the first few minutes of the trading session. It then identifies breakouts above the high or below the low of this range as potential entry points.
Heikin Ashi Candles: Heikin Ashi candles are used to provide a smoother representation of price movements compared to traditional candlesticks. By averaging open, close, high, and low prices of the previous candle, Heikin Ashi candles reduce noise and highlight trends more effectively.
Relative Volume (RVOL): RVOL compares the current volume of a stock to its average volume over a specified period. It helps traders identify abnormal trading activity, which can signal potential price movements.
Candle for correlation : In this case we are using SPY candles. It can also use different asset
Strategy Execution:
Initialization: The strategy initializes by setting up variables and parameters, including the ORB period, session timings, and Heikin Ashi candle settings.
ORB Calculation: It calculates the opening range by identifying the high and low prices during the specified session time. These values serve as the initial reference points for potential breakouts. For this we are looking for the first 30 min of the US opening session.
After that we are going to use the next 2 hours to check for breakout opportunities.
Heikin Ashi Transformation: Optionally, the strategy transforms traditional candlestick data into Heikin Ashi format for smoother visualization and trend identification.
Breakout Identification: It continuously monitors price movements within the session and checks if the current high breaches the ORB high or if the current low breaches the ORB low. These events trigger potential long or short entry signals, respectively.
RVOL Analysis: Simultaneously, the strategy evaluates the relative volume of the asset to gauge the strength of the breakout. A surge in volume accompanying the breakout confirms the validity of the signal. In this case we are looking for at least a 1 value of the division between currentVolume and pastVolume
Entry and Exit Conditions: When a breakout occurs and is confirmed by RVOL and is within our session time, the strategy enters a long or short position accordingly. It does not have a stop loss or a takie profit level, instead it will always exit at the end of the trading session, 5 minutes before
Position Sizing and Commissions: For the purpose of this backtest, the strategy allocated 10% of the capital for each trade and assumes a trading commission of 0.01$ per share ( twice the IBKR broker values)
Session End: At the end of the trading session, the strategy closes all open positions to avoid overnight exposure.
Conclusion:
The combination of ORB breakout strategy, Heikin Ashi candles, and RVOL provides traders with a robust framework for identifying and capitalizing on early trends in the market. By leveraging these technical indicators together, traders can make more informed decisions and improve the overall performance of their trading strategies. However, like any trading strategy, it's essential to backtest thoroughly and adapt the strategy to different market conditions to ensure its effectiveness over time.
Fractional Candlestick Long Only Experimental V10Fractional Candlestick Long-Only Strategy – Technical Description
This document provides a professional English description of the "Fractional Candlestick Long Only Experimental V6" strategy using pure CF/AB fractional kernels and wavelet-based filtering.
1. Fractional Candlesticks (CF / AB)
The strategy computes two fractional representations of price using Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) and Atangana–Baleanu (AB) kernels. These provide long-memory filtering without EMA approximations. Both CF and AB versions are applied to O/H/L/C, producing fractional candlesticks and fractional Heikin-Ashi variants.
2. Trend Stack Logic
Trend confirmation is based on a 4-component stack:
- CF close > AB close
- HA_CF close > HA_AB close
- HA_CF bullish
- HA_AB bullish
The user selects how many components must align (4, 3, or any 2).
3. Wavelet Filtering
A wavelet transform (Haar, Daubechies-4, Mexican Hat) is applied to a chosen source (e.g., HA_CF close). The wavelet response is used as:
- entry filter (4 modes)
- exit filter (4 modes)
Wavelet modes: off, confirm, wavelet-only, block adverse signals.
4. Trailing System
Trailing stop uses fractional AB low × buffer, providing long-memory dynamic trailing behavior. A fractional trend channel (CF/AB lows vs HA highs) is also plotted.
5. Exit Framework
Exit options include: stack flip, CF
Forex Hammer and Hanging Man StrategyThe strategy is based on two key candlestick chart patterns: Hammer and Hanging Man. These chart patterns are widely used in technical analysis to identify potential reversal points in the market. Their relevance in the Forex market, known for its high liquidity and volatile price movements, is particularly pronounced. Both patterns provide insights into market sentiment and trader psychology, which are critical in currency trading, where short-term volatility plays a significant role.
1. Hammer:
• Typically occurs after a downtrend.
• Signals a potential trend reversal to the upside.
• A Hammer has:
• A small body (close and open are close to each other).
• A long lower shadow, at least twice as long as the body.
• No or a very short upper shadow.
2. Hanging Man:
• Typically occurs after an uptrend.
• Signals a potential reversal to the downside.
• A Hanging Man has:
• A small body, similar to the Hammer.
• A long lower shadow, at least twice as long as the body.
• A small or no upper shadow.
These patterns are a manifestation of market psychology, specifically the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. The Hammer reflects a situation where sellers tried to push the price down but were overpowered by buyers, while the Hanging Man shows that buyers failed to maintain the upward movement, and sellers could take control.
Relevance of Chart Patterns in Forex
In the Forex market, chart patterns are vital tools because they offer insights into price action and market sentiment. Since Forex trading often involves large volumes of trades, chart patterns like the Hammer and Hanging Man are important for recognizing potential shifts in market momentum. These patterns are a part of technical analysis, which aims to forecast future price movements based on historical data, relying on the psychology of market participants.
Scientific Literature on the Relevance of Candlestick Patterns
1. Behavioral Finance and Candlestick Patterns:
Research on behavioral finance supports the idea that candlestick patterns, such as the Hammer and Hanging Man, are relevant because they reflect shifts in trader psychology and sentiment. According to Lo, Mamaysky, and Wang (2000), patterns like these could be seen as representations of collective investor behavior, influenced by overreaction, optimism, or pessimism, and can often signal reversals in market trends.
2. Statistical Validation of Chart Patterns:
Studies by Brock, Lakonishok, and LeBaron (1992) explored the profitability of technical analysis strategies, including candlestick patterns, and found evidence that certain patterns, such as the Hammer, can have predictive value in financial markets. While their study primarily focused on stock markets, their findings are generally applicable to the Forex market as well.
3. Market Efficiency and Candlestick Patterns:
The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) posits that all available information is reflected in asset prices, but some studies suggest that markets may not always be perfectly efficient, allowing for profitable exploitation of certain chart patterns. For instance, Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) found that momentum strategies, which often rely on price patterns and trends, could generate significant returns, suggesting that patterns like the Hammer or Hanging Man may provide a slight edge, particularly in short-term Forex trading.
Testing the Strategy in Forex Using the Provided Script
The provided script allows traders to test and evaluate the Hammer and Hanging Man patterns in Forex trading by entering positions when these patterns appear and holding the position for a specified number of periods. This strategy can be tested to assess its performance across different currency pairs and timeframes.
1. Testing on Different Timeframes:
• The effectiveness of candlestick patterns can vary across different timeframes, as market dynamics change with the level of detail in each timeframe. Shorter timeframes may provide more frequent signals, but with higher noise, while longer timeframes may produce more reliable signals, but with fewer opportunities. This multi-timeframe analysis could be an area to explore to enhance the strategy’s robustness.
2. Exit Strategies:
• The script incorporates an exit strategy where positions are closed after holding them for a specified number of periods. This is useful for testing how long the reversal patterns typically take to play out and when the optimal exit occurs for maximum profitability. It can also help to adjust the exit logic based on real-time market behavior.
Conclusion
The Hammer and Hanging Man patterns are widely recognized in technical analysis as potential reversal signals, and their application in Forex trading is valuable due to the market’s high volatility and liquidity. This strategy leverages these candlestick patterns to enter and exit trades based on shifts in market sentiment and psychology. Testing and optimization, as offered by the script, can help refine the strategy and improve its effectiveness.
For further refinement, it could be valuable to consider combining candlestick patterns with other technical indicators or using multi-timeframe analysis to confirm patterns and increase the probability of successful trades.

Candle Emotion Index (CEI) StrategyThe Candle Emotion Index (CEI) Strategy is an innovative sentiment-based trading approach designed to help traders identify and capitalize on market psychology. By analyzing candlestick patterns and combining them into a unified metric, the CEI Strategy provides clear entry and exit signals while dynamically managing risk. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to leverage market sentiment to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
How It Works
The CEI Strategy is built around three core oscillators that reflect key emotional states in the market:
Indecision Oscillator . Measures market uncertainty using patterns like Doji and Spinning Tops. High values indicate hesitation, signaling potential turning points.
Fear Oscillator . Tracks bearish sentiment through patterns like Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing. Helps identify moments of intense selling pressure.
Greed Oscillator . Detects bullish sentiment using patterns like Marubozu, Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Three White Soldiers. Highlights periods of strong buying interest.
These oscillators are averaged into the Candle Emotion Index (CEI):
CEI = (Indecision + Fear + Greed) / 3
This single value quantifies overall market sentiment and drives the strategy’s trading decisions.
Key Features
Sentiment-Based Trading Signals . Long Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a lower threshold (e.g., 0.1), indicating increasing bullish sentiment. Short Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a higher threshold (e.g., 0.2), signaling rising bearish sentiment.
Volume Confirmation . Trades are validated only if volume exceeds a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over the lookback period. This ensures entries are backed by significant market activity.
Break-Even Recovery Mechanism . If a trade moves into a loss, the strategy attempts to recover to break-even instead of immediately exiting at a loss. This feature provides flexibility, allowing the market to recover while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Dynamic Risk Management . Maximum Holding Period: Trades are closed after a user-defined number of candles to avoid overexposure to prolonged uncertainty. Profit-Taking Conditions: Positions are exited when favorable price moves are confirmed by increased volume, locking in gains. Loss Threshold: Trades are exited early if the price moves unfavorably beyond a set percentage of the entry price, limiting potential losses.
Cooldown Period . After a trade is closed, a cooldown period prevents immediate re-entry, reducing overtrading and improving signal quality.
Why Use This Strategy?
The CEI Strategy combines advanced sentiment analysis with robust trade management, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market psychology and identify high-probability setups. Its unique features, such as the break-even recovery mechanism and volume confirmation, add an extra layer of discipline and reliability to trading decisions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Indicators . Use trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, ADX) and momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm signals.
Align with Key Levels . Incorporate support and resistance levels for refined entries and exits.
Multi-Market Compatibility . Apply this strategy to forex, crypto, stocks, or any asset class with strong volume and price action.

Ahsan Tufail Precise MA Crossover Filter for Reliable SignalsIntroduction:
In the ever-evolving world of Forex trading, strategies that provide a competitive edge are highly sought after. The Moving Average (MA) crossover technique is a popular long-term approach, but its vulnerability to false signals can lead to potential losses. To overcome this challenge, we introduce a game-changing MA crossover filter designed to weed out false signals and unlock the full potential of this strategy. In this article, we delve into the mechanics of this filter, providing a comprehensive analysis of its components and how it enhances the accuracy of buy and sell signals.
The Power of the MA Crossover Filter:
The essence of our MA crossover filter lies in the integration of a specialized indicator that operates on a scale of 0 to 100. This ingenious indicator dynamically measures the distance between the middle Bollinger band and either the upper or lower Bollinger band. By analyzing the values of the last 504 candlesticks, it maps the range from 50 to 100 for the largest and smallest distances between the middle and upper Bollinger bands. Similarly, for values ranging from 0 to 50, it measures the distance between the middle and lower Bollinger bands.
Unveiling the Signal Execution Process:
The brilliance of this filter is revealed in its meticulous execution of buy and sell signals, which significantly reduces false crossovers. Let's explore the process step-by-step:
Buy Signal Precision:
To initiate a buy signal, the price must be positioned above the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter validates the crossover by checking the indicator's value, ensuring it falls below the threshold of 25.
Sell Signal Accuracy:
For a sell signal, the price must be below the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter confirms the crossover by verifying the indicator's value, which should exceed the threshold of 75.
This selective approach ensures that only high-confidence crossovers are considered, maximizing the potential for profitable trades.
Fine-Tuning the Filter for Optimal Performance:
While the MA crossover filter exhibits its prowess in GBPUSD and EURUSD currency pairs, it may require adjustments for other pairs. Currency pairs possess unique characteristics, and adapting the filter to specific behavior is crucial for its success.
To fine-tune the filter for alternative currency pairs, traders should conduct rigorous backtesting and analyze historical price data. By experimenting with indicator threshold values, traders can calibrate the filter to accurately match the dynamics of the target currency pair. This iterative process allows for customization, ultimately resulting in a finely-tuned filter that aligns with the unique behavior of the selected market.
Conclusion:
The MA crossover filter represents a paradigm shift in long-term Forex trading strategies. By intelligently filtering false signals, this precision tool unleashes the true potential of the MA crossover technique, elevating its profitability and enhancing overall trading performance. While no strategy guarantees absolute success, incorporating this filter empowers traders with a heightened level of confidence in their buy and sell signals. Embracing the power of this innovative filter can be a transformative step towards mastering Forex profits and staying ahead in the dynamic world of currency trading.

Engulfing with TrendThe script above is a trading strategy with rules based on the Engulfing candlestick pattern within the context of the trend. Some key elements of this script include:
1. ATR (Average True Range) settings to measure market volatility.
2. Supertrend settings to identify the market trend.
3. Conditions for determining uptrend and downtrend.
4. Determination of Bullish (Engulfing pattern during uptrend) and Bearish (Engulfing pattern during downtrend).
5. Calculation of Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels based on the Engulfing pattern.
6. Entry conditions based on the Engulfing pattern and the corresponding trend.
7. Exit conditions based on price crossovers with SL and TP levels.
8. Plotting of the Engulfing patterns on the chart.
This strategy is used to identify trading opportunities based on Engulfing candlestick patterns that align with the direction of the market trend. Additionally, stop loss and take profit levels are calculated based on the Engulfing pattern, and trading signals are displayed on the chart.
It's important to note that this script can be customized according to your trading preferences and strategy.
Inside Bar Momentum StrategyDescription for the strategy:
It's an inside bar momentum trade, looking for candlestick formations breakout and trading momentum with a short stop and target to 80% of the initial candle.

Hilly's 0010110 Reversal Scalping Strategy - 5 Min CandlesKey Features and Rationale:
Timeframe: Restricted to 5-minute candles as requested.
Pattern Integration: Includes single (Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji), two (Engulfing, Harami), and three-plus (Morning Star, Evening Star) candlestick patterns, plus reversal patterns based on RSI extremes.
VWAP Cross: Incorporates bullish (price crosses above VWAP) and bearish (price crosses below VWAP) signals, enhanced by trend context.
Volume Analysis: Uses a volume spike threshold to filter noise, with a simple day-start volume comparison for financial environment context.
Financial Environment: Approximates the day's sentiment using early-hour volume compared to current volume, adjusted by trend.
Aggregation: Scores each condition (e.g., 1 for basic patterns, 2 for strong patterns like Engulfing, 3 for three-candle patterns) and decides based on weighted consensus, with trendStrength as a tunable threshold.
Risky Approach: Minimal filtering and a low trendStrength (default 0.5) allow frequent signals, aligning with your $100-to-$200 goal, but expect higher risk.
Suggested Inputs:
EMA Length: 10 (short enough for 5-minute sensitivity).
VWAP Lookback: 1 (uses current session VWAP).
Volume Threshold Multiplier: 1.2 (moderate spike requirement).
RSI Length: 14 (standard, adjustable to 7 for more sensitivity).
Trend Strength Threshold: 0.5 (balance between signals; lower to 0.4 for more trades, raise to 0.6 for fewer).
