Reset Every (Price)Someone requested a high/low price indicator that would reset the "remembered" prices daily. I started out doing just that, and then decided to make it much more configurable.
Choose the units (minutes, hours, days, weeks, months) and the number of those units, and this will reset the highest/lowest value remembered to the current values on your chosen time interval.
This should work with any time interval you desire, within reason...asking for resets every 4000 hours on a monthly chart will probably not work.
GE, monthly, every 7 months:
Ford, weekly, every 18 months:
Dow Jones Industrial Average, weekly, every 90 days:
LTCBTC, daily, every 10 days:
ETHUSD, 30 minutes, every 10 days:
BTCUSD, 1 minute, every 10 hours:
EURUSD, 1 minute, every 50 minutes:
Also, I am about to publish another version of this with just one source input that can be applied to any indicator...stay tuned!
XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):

Renko Price Bars Overlay// Shows the price renko bars (or range bars) instead of the PERIOD renko
// bars that are integrated into Trading View. The normal renko bars that
// Trading View offers only consider the drawing of a new brick when the
// price closes above or below the required brick size. This can produce
// misleading charts since depending on the time interval of a chart, new
// bricks may or may not be drawn. True price renko bars will draw a new
// brick immediately upon the price exceeding the next target brick size.
// When running this script in "Traditional" mode, the painting of the
// brick overlay band is INDEPENDENT of the chart interval. If price
// exceeds the required target price for the next brick, the band is
// updated immediately, instead of waiting for the price bar on the chart
// interval to close first. The brick starting anchor point will attempt
// to be a "nice number" at a round interval for the chart ticker. For
// example, if viewing EURUSD with the box size equal to 50 ticks/pips,
// the open and close prices will take the form of 1.2100, 1.2150, 1.2200,
// 1.2250, and so on. This is the same behavior as the normal traditional
// Renko bars in Trading View and other major trading platforms such as
// Meta Trader.
// Use the tick size in traditional mode to specify the block size, in
// ticks. This may give interesting results in FOREX pairs... as the tick
// size in Trading View may be 0.00001 instead of the normal pip size of
// 0.0001, so a 10 pip block size may be '100', and not the expected '10'.
// FOREX futures should work in the manner expected, a 10 pip block size
// will indeed equal 0.0010.
// The "ATR" mode functions differently than the Trading View built in
// version. The block size is updated each time the range is exceeded.
// In Trading View, when using the ATR mode, the ATR is the last ATR
// value calculated on the ENTIRE data interval, and is applied to all
// past data. You can see this when you press the '+' sign of the ticker
// in the top left of the chart window and you will see the brick size
// as a constant, the brick size is not a function of the ever changing
// ATR value of the price action. The block size of this script is not
// updated for each price candle (i.e. each 1HR on a 1HR chart), instead
// it is updated only when the price thresholds are exceeded requiring a
// the band to be updated. At that point the current ATR is considered
// and the brick size is updated.
// Options exist to show the current high and low of the brick, and to
// show the required levels that the price must exceed to draw a new
// brick and update the band.
Please leave comments if you notice any bugs or would like any new features added. I don't find much use for plotting the H/L of the current renko candle, but I have seen some request it in the past.
Cheers.
EMA Indicators with BUY sell SignalCombine 3 EMA indicators into 1. Buy and Sell signal is based on
- Buy signal based on 20 Days Highest High resistance
- Sell signal based on 10 Days Lowest Low support
Input :-
1 - Short EMA (20), Mid EMA (50) and Long EMA (200)
2 - Resistance (20) = 20 Days Highest High line
3 - Support (10) = 10 Days Lowest Low line
Volume Range EventsChanges in the feelings (positive, negative, neutral) in the market concerning the valuation of an instrument are often preceded with sudden outbursts of buying and selling frenzies. The aim of this indicator is to report such outbursts. We can see them as expansions of volume, sometimes 10 times more than usual. and as extensions of the trading range, also sometimes 10 times more than usual (e.g. usual range is 10 cent suddenly a whole dollar.) The changes are calculated in such a way that these fit between plus and minus 100 percent, the bars are scaled in some sort of logarithmic way. The Emoline is the same as the one in the True Balance of Power indicator, which I already published
ONLY RISES ARE EVENTS
Sometimes analysts are tempted to give meaning to low volume or small ranges. These simply mean that the market has little interest in trading this instrument. I believe that in such cases the trader needs to wait for expansion and extension events to happen, then he can make a better guess of where the market is heading. As events often mark the beginning or ending of a trend, this indicator provides an early and clear signal, because it doesn’t bother us about non-events.
WHAT IS USUAL?
If the algorithm would use an average as a normal to scale volume or range events, then previous peaks will act as spoilers by making the average so high that a following peak is scaled too small. I developed a function, usual() , that kicks out all extremes of a ‘population of values’ and which returns the average of the non-extreme values. It can be called with any serial. This function is called by both algorithms that report volume and range peaks, which guarantees that the results are really comparable. As this function has a fixed look back of 8 periods, we might state that ‘usual’ is a short lived relative value. I think this doesn’t matter for the practical use of the indicator.
COLORING AND INTERPRETATION
I follow the categories in the ‘Better Volume Indicator’, published by LeazyBear, these are:
1. Climactic Volumes, event >40 % (this means peak is 1.5 X usual)
LIME: Climax Buying Volume, direction up, range event also > 30 %
RED: Climax Selling Volume, direction down, range event also > 30 %
AQUA: Climax Churning Volume, both directions, range event < 30%
2. Smaller Volumes, event <40 %
GREEN: Supportive Volume, both directions, if combined with range event
BLUE: Churning Volume, both directions, if not combined with range event (Professional Trading)
3. Just Range Events

Forex Master v4.0 (EUR/USD Mean-Reversion Algorithm)DESCRIPTION
Forex Master v4.0 is a mean-reversion algorithm currently optimized for trading the EUR/USD pair on the 5M chart interval. All indicator inputs use the period's closing price and all trades are executed at the open of the period following the period where the trade signal was generated.
There are 3 main components that make up Forex Master v4.0:
I. Trend Filter
The algorithm uses a version of the ADX indicator as a trend filter to trade only in certain time periods where price is more likely to be range-bound (i.e., mean-reverting). This indicator is composed of a Fast ADX and a Slow ADX, both using the same look-back period of 50. However, the Fast ADX is smoothed with a 6-period EMA and the Slow ADX is smoothed with a 12-period EMA. When the Fast ADX is above the Slow ADX, the algorithm does not trade because this indicates that price is likelier to trend, which is bad for a mean-reversion system. Conversely, when the Fast ADX is below the Slow ADX, price is likelier to be ranging so this is the only time when the algorithm is allowed to trade.
II. Bollinger Bands
When allowed to trade by the Trend Filter, the algorithm uses the Bollinger Bands indicator to enter long and short positions. The Bolliger Bands indicator has a look-back period of 20 and a standard deviation of 1.5 for both upper and lower bands. When price crosses over the lower band, a Long Signal is generated and a long position is entered. When price crosses under the upper band, a Short Signal is generated and a short position is entered.
III. Money Management
Rule 1 - Each trade will use a limit order for a fixed quantity of 50,000 contracts (0.50 lot). The only exception is Rule
Rule 2 - Order pyramiding is enabled and up to 10 consecutive orders of the same signal can be executed (for example: 14 consecutive Long Signals are generated over 8 hours and the algorithm sends in 10 different buy orders at various prices for a total of 350,000 contracts).
Rule 3 - Every order will include a bracket with both TP and SL set at 50 pips (note: the algorithm only closes the current open position and does not enter the opposite trade once a TP or SL has been hit).
Rule 4 - When a new opposite trade signal is generated, the algorithm sends in a larger order to close the current open position as well as open a new one (for example: 14 consecutive Long Signals are generated over 8 hours and the algorithm sends in 10 different buy orders at various prices for a total of 350,000 contracts. A Short Signal is generated shortly after the 14th Long Signal. The algorithm then sends in a sell order for 400,000 contracts to close the 350,000 contracts long position and open a new short position of 50,000 contracts).
My5min1. Follow the instructions for entry and exit exactly as above. Don’t second guess, or assume/presume anything.
2. Avoid entering the trade when the price is temporarily above /below 10 day MA, but the price candle hasn’t fully formed yet. Enter the trade only after the price candle closes above/below the 10 day MA.
3. Exit the trade immediately when the price candle closes above/below 10 day MA in the direction opposite to the trade. Don’t remain in the trade wishing it to turn in your favor.
4. Never ever trade in the opposite direction of the market. i.e. don’t buy when the price is below 200 day MA and sell when the price is above 200 day MA.
5. Take profits when limit is reached. Don’t be greedy and keep on increasing the target. Remember- A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
MACD, backtest 2015+ only, cut in half and doubledThis is only a slight modification to the existing "MACD Strategy" strategy plugin!
found the default MACD strategy to be lacking, although impressive for its simplicity. I added "year>2014" to the IF buy/sell conditions so it will only backtest from 2015 and beyond ** .
I also had a problem with the standard MACD trading late, per se. To that end I modified the inputs for fast/slow/signal to double. Example: my defaults are 10, 21, 10 so I put 20, 42, 20 in. This has the effect of making a 30min interval the same as 1 hour at 10,21,10. So if you want to backtest at 4hr, you would set your time interval to 2hr on the main chart. This is a handy way to make shorter time periods more useful even regardless of strategy/testing, since you can view 15min with alot less noise but a better response.
Used on BTCCNY OKcoin, with the chart set at 45 min (so really 90min in the strategy) this gave me a percent profitable of 42% and a profit factor of 1.998 on 189 trades.
Personally, I like to set the length/signals to 30,63,30. Meaning you need to triple the time, it allows for much better use of shorter time periods and the backtests are remarkably profitable. (i.e. 15min chart view = 45min on script, 30min= 1.5hr on script)
** If you want more specific time periods you need to try plugging in different bar values: replace "year" with "n" and "2014" with "5500". The bars are based on unix time I believe so you will need to play around with the number for n, with n being the numbers of bars.
MA Strength Indicator EnhancedThe "MA Strength" is an indicator that measures market trend strength or (in the case of forex pairs) the relative strength of individual currencies based on up to five different moving averages (MA). It offers multiple calculation methods, such as simple summation, normalized value, or measuring ATR/percentage distance from the price. The results are summarized in a clear table, and it provides customizable alerts for trend changes or shifts in currency strength. The high level of configurability (e.g., MA weighting, "all MA alignment" requirement) allows for fine-tuning the strategy.
💬 Interpreting the Table (Top Rows)
The top row of the table shows the final output of the indicator. This changes according to the set "Table Mode".
Trend Mode: The top row shows the final, aggregated trend status (e.g., "BULLISH", "NEUTRAL") and the corresponding "Trend Value". This is the value the indicator compares to its thresholds.
Forex Mode: (Only on 6-character pairs): The top two rows show the strength of the Base currency and the Quote currency separately.
Calculation of the top rows:
The indicator calculates the individual score of all active MAs (according to the chosen method).
Trend Value: This is the final value calculated from the scores.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, this will be the average of the scores (e.g., MA1 score is 5.0, MA2 score is 7.0 -> Trend Value is 6.0).
If averaging is OFF, this will be the sum of the scores (e.g., 5.0 + 7.0 = 12.0).
Forex Calculation: "Forex Mode" uses this "Trend Value". If the Trend Value is +6.0 (on an EURUSD pair):
The Base currency (EUR) value will be +6.0.
The Quote currency (USD) value will be -6.0.
The indicator compares these values to the thresholds to determine the "STRONG" status for EUR and "WEAK" status for USD.
📊 Calculation Methods
The indicator can calculate trend strength using 5 methods. The final "Trend Value" is derived from the results of these calculations.
Sum:
Description: Simply adds up the individual scores of all enabled moving averages (MA).
Formula: If the price is above an MA, it gets the "Score Above" value (e.g., +2.0); if below, it gets the "Score Below" value (e.g., -2.0).
Example: Result = (MA1 score) + (MA2 score) + ...
Normalized:
Description: Takes the sum obtained by the "Sum" method and converts it to a scale between -100% (maximally bearish) and +100% (maximally bullish). It takes into account the maximum possible positive and negative scores.
Formula: Result = (Total Score / Max Possible Score) * 100
Percentage Distance:
Description: This method also considers distance. The further the price is from the MA in percentage terms, the higher the score.
Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / MA * 100) * Weight (The "Weight" is the "Score Above/Below" value set in settings).
ATR Distance:
Description: Similar to percentage distance, but normalizes the distance using volatility via ATR (Average True Range).
Formula: MA Score = (|Close Price - MA| / ATR) * Weight
Candle Count:
Description: Counts how many consecutive candles have been above or below the MA. It multiplies this number by the set weight.
Formula: MA Score = (Number of consecutive candles) * Weight
⚙️ Settings Options
Moving Averages (MA 1-5)
For each moving average, you can set:
Enable MA: Turn the specific MA on or off.
Type: The type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.).
Period: The period of the MA (e.g., 50, 200).
Score Above / Below: The most important setting. This defines the "weight" of the MA in the calculation. In "Sum" mode, this is a fixed score; in distance-based modes, this is a multiplier (weight). It is advisable to write a positive number for "Score Above" and a negative number for "Score Below".
Calculation Settings
Enable Averaging: If this is on, the indicator shows the average of the active MA scores, not the total score.
Exception: This function is not available in "Normalized" mode.
Require All MA Alignment: This is a strict filter. If enabled, the indicator only gives a "BULLISH" (or "STRONG") signal if the price is above all enabled moving averages. Similarly, a "BEARISH" signal only occurs if the price is below all moving averages. If the price is on the opposite side of even just one MA (e.g., above 4, below 1), the status becomes "NEUTRAL", regardless of the scores.
Strength / Trend Thresholds
Enable Extra Levels: If active, statuses are expanded: "EXT. BULLISH" / "EXT. BEARISH" (Trend mode) or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK" (Forex mode). This indicates stronger, overbought/oversold conditions.
Threshold setting: The thresholds (e.g., "Strong Above - ATR") determine when the calculated value counts as a "STRONG" or "WEAK" status.
🔢 Setting Thresholds via Calculation
If "Enable Averaging" is OFF, the "Trend Value" shown in the table will be the sum of the individual MA scores. Therefore, we must define the threshold by adding up the minimum expected performance from each moving average. This allows us to set different expectations for short, medium, and long-term averages.
Step 1: Determine MA weights
In our example, we use 3 active MAs with the following weights (Score Above values):
MA1 (Short): Weight = +2
MA2 (Medium): Weight = +3
MA3 (Long): Weight = +4
Step 2: Determine the minimum expected distance
Define a minimum distance expected from each MA to trigger a "Strong" signal.
Step 3: Calculate target scores and the final threshold
Note: If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the resulting value (sum of target scores) must be
averaged to get the final threshold.
Example 1: ATR Distance
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is...
...at least 1.0 ATR above MA1 (Short),
...at least 1.5 ATR above MA2 (Medium),
...and at least 2.0 ATR above MA3 (Long).
-Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 1.0 * 2 = 2.0
MA2 Target Score: 1.5 * 3 = 4.5
MA3 Target Score: 2.0 * 4 = 8.0
-Final Threshold (Sum of Target Scores): 2.0 + 4.5 + 8.0 = 14.5
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - ATR" threshold to 14.5.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold: 4.8 (14.5 / 3 = 4.83).
Example 2: Percentage Distance
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if the price is...
...at least 0.5% above MA1,
...at least 1.0% above MA2,
...and at least 1.5% above MA3.
-Calculation (Expected Distance * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 0.5 * 2.0 = 1.0
MA2 Target Score: 1.0 * 3.0 = 3.0
MA3 Target Score: 1.5 * 4.0 = 6.0
-Final Threshold (Sum): 1.0 + 3.0 + 6.0 = 10.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Percentage" threshold to 10.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 3: Candle Count
-Goal: I want a "Strong" signal if...
...at least 3 consecutive candles are above MA1,
...at least 5 consecutive candles are above MA2,
...and at least 10 consecutive candles are above MA3.
-Calculation (Expected Candle Count * Weight):
MA1 Target Score: 3 * 2.0 = 6.0
MA2 Target Score: 5 * 3.0 = 15.0
MA3 Target Score: 10 * 4.0 = 40.0
-Final Threshold (Sum): 6.0 + 15.0 + 40.0 = 61.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Candle" threshold to 61.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 4: Sum
In this mode, distance does not matter, only whether the price is above or below the MA.
-Goal: "Strong" signal if the price is above the long-term averages, but can be below the short-term (MA1).
MA1 (Short): Can be below (Weight: -2.0)
MA2 (Medium): Must be above (Weight: +3.0)
MA3 (Long): Must be above (Weight: +4.0)
-Calculation: -2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 5.0
-Setting: Set "Strong Above - Sum" threshold to 5.0.
If it must be above all three moving averages, the threshold would be 2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 = 9.0.
If "Enable Averaging" is ON, the obtained value must be averaged, and the result will be the
threshold.
Example 5: Normalized
The basic logic is similar to the "Sum" method.
-Goal: "Strong" signal if price is above MA2 and MA3, but potentially below MA1.
-Calculation: Target Sum: 5.0. Max Possible Score (above all): 9.0.
-Threshold: (5.0 / 9.0) * 100 = 55.5
In this calculation method, averaging cannot be set.
The Usage of the "ATR %" Row
The "ATR %" row shows the percentage movement of an average candle.
How to use this with "Percentage Distance" mode:
This number gives a baseline. It helps decide if the "Percentage Distance" threshold is realistic.
Example: You see the "ATR %" value is hovering around 1.2%. This means a "normal" candle moves about 1.2%.
If you set the Percentage threshold to 0.5%, it is too low. The indicator will constantly give a "Strong" signal because even average movement (noise) exceeds the threshold.
Correct Usage: If "normal" movement is 1.2%, then a "strong" movement (trend) needs to be significantly larger. For example, set the threshold to double the ATR %: 2.4 (2 * 1.2). Thus, you only get a "Strong" signal if the movement is twice the average volatility.
Supplementary Information
Rounding Differences:
The numbers displayed in the table and the precision of calculations in the background differ.
Table Display: The indicator rounds numbers to two decimal places in the table. So, if the value is 0.996, the table shows 1.00 (rounded up).
Internal Calculation: The background calculation uses much higher precision. When determining status (STRONG vs NEUTRAL), the program compares the precise, unrounded value to the threshold.
Result: Due to rounding, it may happen that if the threshold is 1.00 and the table shows 1.00, the status flickers between Strong and Neutral. If this is bothersome, it is advisable to set a slightly lower threshold (e.g., 0.98).
🔔 Alert Settings
The indicator can send alerts when the status changes.
Alert Method:
Trend: Alerts when the main trend status changes (e.g., from "NEUTRAL" to "BULLISH"). You can specify which direction to alert for (e.g., only "BULLISH").
Forex: Works only on 6-character forex pairs. You can set separate alerts for the Base or Quote currency.
Forex Strength Level: You can specify at which status level to alert (e.g., "WEAK" or "EXT. STRONG").
📈 Trading Tips
Trend Confirmation: Use the "BULLISH" / "BEARISH" status to confirm your existing strategy (e.g., breakouts, bounces off support).
Forex Pairing: In Forex mode, look for pairs where the Base currency is "STRONG" and the Quote currency is "WEAK" (or "EXT. STRONG" / "EXT. WEAK") for a long position.
Short Position: Reverse the above (Base: WEAK, Quote: STRONG).
Gold AI RSI Monitor [Stacked + KNN]Here is a comprehensive description and user guide for the Gold AI RSI Monitor. You can copy and paste this into the "Description" field if you publish the script on TradingView, or save it for your own reference.
Gold AI RSI Monitor
🚀 Overview
The Gold AI RSI Monitor is a next-generation dashboard designed specifically for trading volatile assets like Gold (XAUUSD). It completely reimagines the traditional RSI by "stacking" 10 different timeframes (from 1-minute to Monthly) into a single, vertical view.
Integrated into this dashboard is a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) Machine Learning algorithm. This AI analyzes historical price action to find patterns similar to the current market and predicts the next likely move with a confidence score.
📊 Visual Guide: How to Read the Chart
1. The "Stacked" Lanes Instead of switching timeframes constantly, this indicator displays them all at once using vertical offsets.
Bottom Lane (0-100): 1-Minute RSI
Middle Lanes: 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 2H, 4H, Daily
Top Lane (900-1000): Monthly RSI
2. Gradient Color System The RSI lines change color based on momentum strength:
🔴 Red: Oversold / Bearish (Approaching 30 or lower)
🟡 Yellow: Neutral (Around 50)
🟢 Green: Overbought / Bullish (Approaching 70 or higher)
3. Tracker Lines Each timeframe has a dotted horizontal line extending to the right. This allows you to instantly see the exact RSI value for every timeframe without squinting.
🤖 The AI Engine (KNN)
The "AI" component uses a K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm.
Learning: It scans the last 1,000 bars of history.
Matching: It finds the 5 historical moments that look mathematically identical to the current market conditions (based on RSI and Volatility).
Predicting: It checks if price went UP or DOWN after those historical matches.
The Signals:
Buying Signal: If the majority of historical matches resulted in a price increase, the AI triggers a BUY.
Selling Signal: If the majority resulted in a drop, the AI triggers a SELL.
🎯 How to Trade with This Indicator
1. The "Crosshair" Signal
When the AI detects a high-probability setup, a massive Crosshair appears on your chart:
Green Crosshair: Strong BUY signal.
Red Crosshair: Strong SELL signal.
Note: The crosshair consists of a thick vertical line and a dashed horizontal line intersecting at the signal candle.
2. Timeframe Alignment (Confluence)
Do not rely on the AI alone. Look at the stacked RSIs:
Strong Long: The AI shows a Green Crosshair AND the lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) are all turning Green/upward.
Strong Short: The AI shows a Red Crosshair AND the lower timeframes are turning Red/downward.
3. Support & Resistance Zones
Bottom Dotted Line (30): Support. If RSI hits this and turns up, it's a buying opportunity.
Top Dotted Line (70): Resistance. If RSI hits this and turns down, it's a selling opportunity.
⚙️ Settings Guide
RSI Length: Default is 14. Lower (e.g., 7) makes it faster/choppier; higher (e.g., 21) makes it smoother.
Enable AI Signals: Toggles the KNN calculation on/off.
Neighbors (K): How many historical matches to check. Default is 5.
Increase to 9-10 for fewer, more conservative signals.
Decrease to 3 for faster, more aggressive signals.
AI Timeframe: CRITICAL SETTING.
If left empty, the AI calculates based on your current chart.
Recommendation: For Gold scalping, set this to 15m or 1h. This ensures the AI looks at the bigger trend even if you are zooming in on the 1-minute chart.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes. The "AI" is a statistical probability algorithm based on past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Always manage your risk.
Real Relative Strength Indicator### What is RRS (Real Relative Strength)?
RRS is a volatility-normalized relative strength indicator that shows you – in real time – whether your stock, crypto, or any asset is genuinely beating or lagging the broader market after adjusting for risk and volatility. Unlike the classic “price ÷ SPY” line that gets completely fooled by volatility regimes, RRS answers the only question that actually matters to professional traders:
“Is this ticker moving better (or worse) than the market on a risk-adjusted basis right now?”
It does this by measuring the excess momentum of your ticker versus a benchmark (SPY, QQQ, BTC, etc.) and then dividing that excess by the average volatility (ATR) of both instruments. The result is a clean, centered-around-zero oscillator that works the same way in calm markets, crash markets, or parabolic bull runs.
### How to Use the RRS Indicator (Aqua/Purple Area Version) in Practice
The indicator is deliberately simple to read once you know the rules:
Positive area (aqua) means genuine outperformance.
Negative area (purple) means genuine underperformance.
The farther from zero, the stronger the leadership or weakness.
#### Core Signals and How to Trade Them
- RRS crossing above zero → one of the highest-probability long signals in existence. The asset has just started outperforming the market on a risk-adjusted basis. Enter or add aggressively if price structure agrees.
- RRS crossing below zero → leadership is ending. Tighten stops, take partial or full profits, or flip short if you trade both sides.
- RRS above +2 (bright aqua area) → clear leadership. This is where the real money is made in bull markets. Trail stops, add on pullbacks, let winners run.
- RRS below –2 (bright purple area) → clear distribution or capitulation. Avoid new longs, consider short entries or protective puts.
- Extreme readings above +4 or below –4 (background tint appears) → rare, very high-conviction moves. Treat these like once-a-month opportunities.
- Divergence (not plotted here, but easy to spot visually): price making new highs while the aqua area is shrinking → distribution. Price making new lows while the purple area is shrinking → hidden buying and coming reversal.
#### Best Settings by Style and Asset Class
For stocks and ETFs: keep benchmark as SPY (or QQQ for tech-heavy names) and length 14–20 on daily/4H charts.
For crypto: change the benchmark to BTCUSD (or ETHUSD) immediately — otherwise the reading is meaningless. Length 10–14 works best on 1H–4H crypto charts because volatility is higher.
For day trading: drop length to 10–12 and use 15-minute or 5-minute charts. Signals are faster and still extremely clean.
#### Highest-Edge Setups (What Actually Prints Money)
- RRS crosses above zero while price is still below a major moving average (50 EMA, 200 SMA, etc.) → early leadership, often catches the exact bottom of a new leg up.
- RRS already deep aqua (+3 or higher) and price pulls back to support without RRS dropping below +1 → textbook add-on or re-entry zone.
- RRS deep purple and suddenly turns flat or starts curling up while price is still falling → hidden accumulation, usually the exact low tick.
That’s it. Master these few rules and the RRS becomes one of the most powerful edge tools you will ever use for rotation trading...

📊 MARKET ANALYSIS & TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Support & Resistance Trading
POC as Key Level:
- Price tends to return to POC (magnetic effect)
- Strategy :
- When price is above POC → Look for pullbacks to POC for long entries
- When price is below POC → Look for rallies to POC for short entries
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
Value Area Trading:
- Inside Value Area (between VAH & VAL):
- Market is in balance/equilibrium
- Range-bound trading strategies
- Look for mean reversion
- Outside Value Area :
- Price accepted above VAH = Bullish breakout
- Price accepted below VAL = Bearish breakdown
- Trend-following strategies
Example Setup:
Price above VAH + Strong buying delta = Bullish trend
→ Wait for pullback to VAH
→ Enter long with stop below VAH
→ Target: Next HVN or previous session high
2. Volume Node Trading
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Characteristics : Strong support/resistance, consolidation zones
- Trading Strategy :
- Price approaching HVN from above → Potential support
- Price approaching HVN from below → Potential resistance
- Breakout from HVN → Strong momentum move
- Setup : Place limit orders at HVN boundaries
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Characteristics : Low liquidity, fast price movement
- Trading Strategy :
- Price in LVN = Don't chase, wait for next HVN
- LVN breakout = Rapid moves, use wider stops
- Price rejection from LVN = Quick return to HVN
- Setup : Avoid placing stops in LVN zones
Example:
Price consolidating at HVN (yellow) near $50,000
→ Breakout above with volume
→ Fast move through LVN (orange) gap
→ Next target: Upper HVN at $51,500
3. Delta Analysis for Entry Timing
Strong Buying Delta (Green zones):
- Δ > +20% = Buyers in control
- Bullish Signal : Accumulation zone
- Strategy : Look for long entries on pullbacks
- Confirmation : Rising price + positive delta
Strong Selling Delta (Red zones):
- Δ < -20% = Sellers in control
- Bearish Signal : Distribution zone
- Strategy : Look for short entries on rallies
- Confirmation : Falling price + negative delta
Delta Divergence (Advanced):
- Bullish Divergence : Price making lower lows, but delta improving (less negative)
- Indicates selling pressure weakening
- Potential reversal signal
- Bearish Divergence : Price making higher highs, but delta weakening (less positive)
- Indicates buying pressure exhausting
- Potential reversal signal
4. Imbalance Zone Trading
Buy Imbalance (Bright Green):
- 70%+ buying pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of buyers
- Smart money distribution
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bearish candles, resistance)
- Take profits on long positions
- Consider short entries with confirmation
Sell Imbalance (Bright Red):
- 70%+ selling pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of sellers
- Smart money accumulation
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bullish candles, support)
- Take profits on short positions
- Consider long entries with confirmation
Example:
```
Price at VAH with 80% sell imbalance
→ Selling exhaustion likely
→ Wait for bullish reversal candle
→ Enter long with stop below VAL
```
5. Multi-Session Analysis
When "Separate Profiles Per Session" is enabled:
Session-Specific Levels:
- Each session creates its own POC and value area
- Compare sessions to identify:
- Where institutions accumulated/distributed
- Which levels each session respected
- Unfinished business from previous sessions
Trading Strategies:
A. Session POC Confluence
London POC: $49,500
NY POC: $49,550
→ Strong support zone at $49,500-$49,550
→ High probability long setup on pullback
B. Value Area Overlap
London VAH: $50,000
NY VAL: $49,800
→ Overlap creates strong consolidation zone
→ Breakout strategy: Enter on break above $50,000
C. Unfinished Business
London session rejected $51,000 (sell imbalance)
NY session hasn't tested this level yet
→ Watch for NY session to revisit $51,000
→ Potential reversal zone
D. Session Handoff
Tokyo session: Sideways, low volume
London session: Strong buying delta, break above VAH
NY session: Continuation or reversal?
→ Monitor NY open for direction confirmation
6. Market Profile Analysis
Profile Shape Interpretation:
A. P-Shape (Peak at Top)
- High volume at top of range
- Interpretation : Distribution, potential reversal down
- Strategy : Look for shorts at resistance
B. b-Shape (Peak at Bottom)
- High volume at bottom of range
- Interpretation : Accumulation, potential reversal up
- Strategy : Look for longs at support
C. D-Shape (Peak in Middle)
- Balanced profile, POC in center
- Interpretation : Equilibrium, neutral market
- Strategy : Range trading between VAH/VAL
D. Thin Profile (LVN Gap)
- Low volume throughout
- Interpretation : Trending market, little acceptance
- Strategy : Trend following, avoid counter-trend trades

- Use "Session Background Overlay" instead of separate profiles
For scalping (1-5 min):
- LookBack: 300-500 bars
- Bins: 20-30
- Enable separate session profiles
- Focus on imbalance zones
For swing trading (1H-4H):
- LookBack: 100-200 bars
- Bins: 25-35
- Focus on VAH/VAL and HVN
- Disable session features
For position trading (Daily):
- LookBack: 50-100 bars
- Bins: 30-40
- Focus on weekly/monthly POC
- Compare with previous week profiles
---
📚 ADVANCED CONCEPTS
1. Composite Profiles

- Use for swing trading key levels
2. Profile Migration
- Track how POC moves day over day
- Uptrend : POC migrating higher
- Downtrend : POC migrating lower
- Range : POC oscillating in same area
3. Failed Auctions
- Price briefly leaves value area but quickly returns
- Failed auction high : Bearish signal
- Failed auction low : Bullish signal
- Indicates rejection of new price levels
4. Overnight Inventory
- Compare previous day's close to value area
- Close above VAH : Bullish bias for next day

📊 INTEGRATION WITH OTHER INDICATORS
Complementary Indicators:
1. Moving Averages (20/50/200 EMA)
- Use with POC and VAH/VAL
- Confluence with EMAs = stronger levels
2. RSI/Stochastic
- Overbought at resistance (VAH/HVN) = strong short
- Oversold at support (VAL/HVN) = strong long
3. VWAP

Happy Trading! 📈🚀
DAS-Style RVOLDAS RVOL compares the current 1-minute volume to the average volume of that same minute over the past 14 trading days.
Example:
Current 10:00 AM 1-minute volume = 10M
Avg 10:00 AM 1-min volume over last 14 days = 1M
→ RVOL = 10.0 (or 1000%)
So this is time-of-day specific — not just average volume across the whole day.
Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) is a momentum-based indicator that measures the directional pressure of cumulative volume delta (CVD) combined with price efficiency. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 50 indicating net buying pressure and readings below 50 indicating net selling pressure.
The indicator is designed to identify the strength and sustainability of volume-driven trends while remaining responsive during consolidation periods.
How the Indicator Works
The VPO analyzes volume flow by examining price action at lower timeframes to build a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). For each chart bar, the indicator looks at intrabar price movements to classify volume as either buying volume or selling volume. These classifications are accumulated into a running total that tracks net directional volume.
The indicator then measures the momentum of this CVD over both short-term and longer-term periods, providing responsiveness to recent changes while maintaining awareness of the broader trend. These momentum readings are normalized using percentile ranking, which creates a stable 0-100 scale that works consistently across different instruments and market conditions.
A key feature is the extreme zone persistence mechanism. When the indicator enters extreme zones (above 80 or below 20), it maintains elevated readings as long as volume pressure continues in the same direction. This allows the VPO to stay in extreme zones during strong trends rather than quickly reverting to neutral, making it useful for identifying sustained volume pressure rather than just temporary spikes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
While many indicators measure volume or volume delta, the VPO specifically measures how aggressively CVD is currently changing and whether that pressure is being sustained. It's the difference between knowing "more volume has accumulated on the buy side" versus "buying pressure is intensifying right now and shows signs of continuation."
1. Focus on CVD Momentum, Not CVD Levels
Most CVD indicators display the cumulative volume delta as a line that trends up or down indefinitely. The VPO is fundamentally different - it measures the slope of CVD rather than the absolute level. This transforms CVD from an unbounded cumulative metric into a bounded 0-100 oscillator that shows the intensity and direction of current volume pressure, not just the historical accumulation.
2. Designed to Stay in Extremes During Trends
Unlike traditional oscillators that treat extreme readings (above 80 or below 20) as overbought/oversold reversal signals, the VPO is engineered to oscillate within extreme zones during strong trends. When sustained buying or selling pressure exists, the indicator remains elevated (e.g., 80-95 or 5-20) rather than quickly reverting to neutral. This makes it useful for trend continuation identification rather than exclusively for reversal trading.
3. Percentile-Based Normalization
The VPO uses percentile ranking over a lookback window, which provides consistent behavior across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility regimes without constant recalibration.
4. Dual-Timeframe Momentum Synthesis
The indicator simultaneously considers short-term CVD momentum (responsive to recent changes) and longer-term CVD momentum (tracking trend direction), weighted and combined with a slow-moving trend bias. This multi-timeframe approach helps it stay responsive in ranging markets while maintaining context during trends.
How to Use the Indicator
Understanding the Zones:
80-100 (Strong Buying Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly positive. In trending markets, the indicator oscillates within this zone rather than immediately reverting to neutral. This suggests sustained accumulation and trend continuation probability.
60-80 (Moderate Buying): Positive volume pressure but not extreme. Suitable for identifying pullback entry opportunities within uptrends.
40-60 (Neutral Zone): Volume pressure is balanced or unclear. No strong directional edge from volume. Often seen during consolidation or trend transitions.
20-40 (Moderate Selling): Negative volume pressure developing. May indicate distribution or downtrend continuation setups.
0-20 (Strong Selling Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly negative. During downtrends, sustained readings in this zone suggest continued distribution and downside follow-through probability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: When price makes new highs/lows, check if VPO confirms with similarly elevated readings. Divergences (price making new highs while VPO fails to reach prior highs) may indicate weakening momentum.
Range Trading: During consolidation, the VPO typically oscillates between 30-70. Readings toward the low end of the range (30-40) may present accumulation opportunities, while readings at the high end (60-70) may indicate distribution zones.
Extreme Persistence: If VPO reaches 90+ or drops below 10, this indicates exceptional volume pressure. Rather than fading these extremes immediately, monitor whether the indicator stays elevated. Sustained extreme readings suggest strong trend continuation potential.
Context with Price Action: The VPO is most effective when combined with price action or other orderflow indicators. Use the indicator to gauge whether volume is confirming or contradicting.
What the Indicator Does NOT Do:
It does not provide specific entry or exit signals
It does not predict future price direction
It does not guarantee profitable trades
It should not be used as a standalone trading system
Settings Explanation
Momentum Period (Default: 14)
This parameter controls the lookback period for CVD rate-of-change calculations.
Lower values (5-10): Make the indicator more responsive to recent volume changes. Useful for shorter-term trading and more active oscillation. May produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
Default value (14): Provides balanced responsiveness while filtering out most noise. Suitable for swing trading and daily timeframe analysis.
Higher values (20-50): Create smoother readings and focus on longer-term volume trends. Better for position trading and reducing false signals, but with slower reaction to genuine changes in volume pressure.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires intrabar data to function properly. On some instruments or timeframes where lower timeframe data is not available, the indicator may not display.
The indicator uses request.security_lower_tf() which has a limit of intrabars. On higher timeframes, this provides extensive history, but on very low timeframes (<1-minute charts), the indicator may only cover limited historical bars.
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument. The indicator's effectiveness depends on accurate volume reporting from the data feed.

Session Opening Range Breakout (ORBO)This strategy automates a classic Opening Range Breakout (ORBO) approach: it builds a price range for the first minutes after the market opens, then looks for strong breakouts above or below that range to catch early directional moves.
Concept
The idea behind ORBO is simple:
The first minutes after the session open are often highly informative.
Price forms an “opening range” that acts as a mini support/resistance zone.
A clean breakout beyond this zone can lead to high-momentum moves.
This script turns that logic into a fully backtestable strategy in TradingView.
How the strategy works
Opening Range Session
Default session: 09:30–09:50 (exchange time)
During this window, the script tracks:
orHigh → highest high within the session
orLow → lowest low within the session
This forms your Opening Range for the day.
Breakout Logic (after the window ends)
Once the defined session ends:
Long Entry:
If the close crosses above the Opening Range High (orHigh),
→ strategy.entry("OR Long", strategy.long) is triggered.
Short Entry:
If the close crosses below the Opening Range Low (orLow),
→ strategy.entry("OR Short", strategy.short) is triggered.
Only one opening range per day is considered, which keeps the logic clean and easy to interpret.
Daily Reset
At the start of a new trading day, the script resets:
orHigh := na
orLow := na
A fresh Opening Range is then built using the next session’s 09:30–09:50 candles.
This ensures entries are always based on today’s structure, not yesterday’s.
Visuals & Inputs
Inputs:
Opening range session → default: "0930-0950"

Fill range body → optional shaded zone between OR High and OR Low
Chart visuals:
A green line marks the Opening Range High.
A red line marks the Opening Range Low.
Optional yellow fill highlights the entire OR zone.
Background shading during the session shows when the range is currently being built.
These visuals make it easy to see:

Regime Filter [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Regime Filter is a dual-factor trend condition tool combining price trend momentum and volume expansion into a single, easy-to-read visual framework. It quantifies recent trend direction and volume shifts, then shows them as:
Two oscillator plots for Trend and Volume regimes
Dynamic candle coloring for trend clarity
A quadrant scatter map in your chart corner for immediate regime recognition.
This filter helps traders quickly detect when a trend is healthy & confirmed by strong volume, or weakening & vulnerable due to low volume.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Trend Oscillator: A loop-based trend value calculated by comparing the current smoothed price (HMA of HLC3) against its own trailing history. Positive values indicate trend-up regimes, negative values signal trend-down phases.
Volume Oscillator: Similar loop logic but on smoothed volume (HMA of Volume) — highlighting whether trading activity is expanding or contracting relative to past bars.
hma = ta.hma(hlc3, 15)
vol = ta.hma(volume, 15)
for i = 0 to len
if hma > hma
trend += 1
else
trend -= 1
for i = 0 to len
if vol > vol
voltrend += 1
else
voltrend -= 1
Regime Map Scatter Plot: A unique 2D quadrant displayed in the bottom-right corner. This shows where the market is sitting:
> Top Right (green): Trend ↑ and Volume ↑ → strong confirmed up trend.
> Top Left (red): Trend ↓ but Volume ↑ → strong sell momentum.
> Bottom Right (blue): Trend ↑ but Volume ↓ → uptrend losing steam.
> Bottom Left (yellow): Trend ↓ and Volume ↓ → weak bearish drift.
Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles are colored by trend only: green for uptrends, red for downtrends, and orange near reversals.
Threshold Fills: The oscillator region is shaded green above +10 (healthy uptrend) and red below -10 (strong downtrend) for instant confidence.
🔵 FEATURES
Normalized trend and volume values adapt automatically to your lookback length.
Candlestick color overrides highlight current trend state in real-time.
Clear zero-line and fill bands help you gauge strength vs. noise.
Scatter regime dashboard updates live to track when trend and volume align or decouple.
Color gradients show intensification or cooling in both oscillators and the regime map.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for sustained positive trend and volume values to confirm strong directional moves.
Watch for the scatter dot in the green square (top right) for high-confidence breakouts.
If the dot drops to bottom right, uptrend may be tiring — possible exit zone.
If the dot jumps top left, bearish drive is reinforced by heavy volume — caution on longs.
Use the orange trend coloring as an early warning that trend pressure may be shifting.
Combine with breakout levels or moving averages for a robust regime filter system.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Regime Filter distills price trend and volume dynamics into an actionable multi-mode display: oscillators, color-coded candles, and an intuitive scatter map. This all-in-one layout helps traders visually read market regime strength and spot fading trends before they turn — perfect for swing traders, intraday scalpers, and macro trend followers alike.

# 🥣 Turtle Soup Strategy (Enhanced)
## A Mean-Reversion Strategy Based on Failed Breakouts
---
## Historical Origins
### The Original Turtle Traders (1983-1988)
The Turtle Trading system is one of the most famous experiments in trading history. In 1983, legendary commodities trader **Richard Dennis** made a bet with his partner **William Eckhardt** about whether great traders were born or made. Dennis believed trading could be taught; Eckhardt believed it was innate.
To settle the debate, Dennis recruited 23 ordinary people through newspaper ads—including a professional blackjack player, a fantasy game designer, and an accountant—and taught them his trading system in just two weeks. He called them "Turtles" after turtle farms he had visited in Singapore, saying *"We are going to grow traders just like they grow turtles in Singapore."*
The results were extraordinary. Over the next five years, the Turtles reportedly earned over **$175 million in profits**. The experiment proved Dennis right: trading could indeed be taught.
#### The Original Turtle Rules:
- **Entry:** Buy when price breaks above the 20-day high (System 1) or 55-day high (System 2)
- **Exit:** Sell when price breaks below the 10-day low (System 1) or 20-day low (System 2)
- **Stop Loss:** 2x ATR (Average True Range) from entry
- **Position Sizing:** Based on volatility (ATR)
- **Philosophy:** Pure trend-following—catch big moves by riding breakouts
The Turtle system was a **trend-following** strategy that assumed breakouts would lead to sustained trends. It worked brilliantly in trending markets but suffered during choppy, range-bound conditions.
---
### The Turtle Soup Strategy (1990s)
In the 1990s, renowned trader **Linda Bradford Raschke** (along with Larry Connors) observed something interesting: many of the breakouts that the Turtle system traded actually *failed*. Price would spike above the 20-day high, trigger Turtle buy orders, then immediately reverse—trapping the breakout traders.
Raschke realized these failed breakouts were predictable and tradeable. She developed the **Turtle Soup** strategy, which does the *exact opposite* of the original Turtle system:
> *"Instead of buying the breakout, we wait for it to fail—then fade it."*
The name "Turtle Soup" is a clever play on words: the strategy essentially "eats" the Turtles by trading against them when their breakouts fail.
#### Original Turtle Soup Rules:
- **Setup:** Price makes a new 20-day high (or low)
- **Qualifier:** The previous 20-day high must be at least 3-4 days old (not a fresh breakout)
- **Entry Trigger:** Price reverses back inside the channel (failed breakout)
- **Entry:** Go SHORT (against the failed breakout above), or LONG (against the failed breakdown below)
- **Philosophy:** Mean-reversion—fade false breakouts and profit from trapped traders
#### Turtle Soup Plus One Variant:
Raschke also developed a more conservative variant called "Turtle Soup Plus One" which waits for the *next bar* after the breakout to confirm the failure before entering. This reduces false signals but may miss some opportunities.
---
## Our Enhanced Turtle Soup Strategy
We have taken the classic Turtle Soup concept and enhanced it with modern technical indicators and filters to improve signal quality and adapt to today's markets.
### Core Logic Preserved
The fundamental strategy remains true to Raschke's original concept:
| Turtle (Original) | Turtle Soup (Our Strategy) |
|-------------------|---------------------------|
| BUY breakout above 20-day high | SHORT when that breakout FAILS |
| SELL breakout below 20-day low | LONG when that breakdown FAILS |
| Trend-following | Mean-reversion |
| "The trend is your friend" | "Failed breakouts trap traders" |
---
### Enhancements & Improvements
#### 1. RSI Exhaustion Filter
**Addition:** RSI must confirm exhaustion before entry
- **For SHORT entries:** RSI > 60 (buyers exhausted)
- **For LONG entries:** RSI < 40 (sellers exhausted)
**Why:** The original Turtle Soup had no momentum filter. Adding RSI ensures we only fade breakouts when the market is showing signs of exhaustion, significantly reducing false signals. This enhancement was inspired by later traders who found RSI extremes (originally 90/10, softened to 60/40) dramatically improved win rates.
#### 2. ADX Trending Filter
**Addition:** ADX must be > 20 for trades to execute
**Why:** While the original Turtle Soup was designed for ranging markets, we found that requiring *some* trend strength (ADX > 20) actually improves results. This ensures we're trading in markets with enough directional movement to create meaningful failed breakouts, rather than random noise in dead markets.
#### 3. Heikin Ashi Smoothing
**Addition:** Optional Heikin Ashi calculations for breakout detection
**Why:** Heikin Ashi candles smooth out price noise and make trend reversals more visible. When enabled, the strategy uses HA values to detect breakouts and failures, reducing whipsaws from erratic price spikes.
#### 4. Dynamic Donchian Channels with Regime Detection
**Addition:** Color-coded channels based on market regime
- 🟢 **Green:** Bullish regime (uptrend + DI+ > DI- + OBV bullish)
- 🔴 **Red:** Bearish regime (downtrend + DI- > DI+ + OBV bearish)
- 🟡 **Yellow:** Neutral regime
**Why:** Visual regime detection helps traders understand the broader market context. The original Turtle Soup had no regime awareness—our enhancement lets traders see at a glance whether conditions favor the strategy.
#### 5. Volume Spike Detection (Optional)
**Addition:** Optional filter requiring volume surge on the breakout bar
**Why:** Failed breakouts are more significant when they occur on high volume. A volume spike on the breakout bar (default 1.2x average) indicates more traders got trapped, creating stronger reversal potential.
#### 6. ATR-Based Stops and Targets
**Addition:** Configurable ATR-based stop losses and profit targets
- **Stop Loss:** 1.5x ATR (default)
- **Profit Target:** 2.0x ATR (default)
**Why:** The original Turtle Soup used fixed stop placement. ATR-based stops adapt to current volatility, providing tighter stops in calm markets and wider stops in volatile conditions.
#### 7. Signal Cooldown
**Addition:** Minimum bars between trades (default 5)
**Why:** Prevents overtrading during choppy conditions where multiple failed breakouts might occur in quick succession.
#### 8. Real-Time Info Panel
**Addition:** Comprehensive dashboard showing:
- Current regime (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
- RSI value and zone
- ADX value and trending status
- Breakout status
- Bars since last high/low
- Current setup status
- Position status
**Why:** Gives traders instant visibility into all strategy conditions without needing to check multiple indicators.

## Philosophy
> *"The Turtle system made millions by following breakouts. The Turtle Soup strategy makes money when those breakouts fail. In trading, there's always someone on the other side of the trade—this strategy profits by being the smart money that fades the trapped breakout traders."*
The beauty of the Turtle Soup strategy is its elegant simplicity: it exploits a known, repeatable pattern (failed breakouts) while using modern filters (RSI, ADX) to improve timing and reduce false signals.

## A Mean-Reversion Strategy Based on Failed Breakouts

## Historical Origins
### The Original Turtle Traders (1983-1988)
The Turtle Trading system is one of the most famous experiments in trading history. In 1983, legendary commodities trader **Richard Dennis** made a bet with his partner **William Eckhardt** about whether great traders were born or made. Dennis believed trading could be taught; Eckhardt believed it was innate.
To settle the debate, Dennis recruited 23 ordinary people through newspaper ads—including a professional blackjack player, a fantasy game designer, and an accountant—and taught them his trading system in just two weeks. He called them "Turtles" after turtle farms he had visited in Singapore, saying *"We are going to grow traders just like they grow turtles in Singapore."*
The results were extraordinary. Over the next five years, the Turtles reportedly earned over **$175 million in profits**. The experiment proved Dennis right: trading could indeed be taught.
#### The Original Turtle Rules:
- **Entry:** Buy when price breaks above the 20-day high (System 1) or 55-day high (System 2)
- **Exit:** Sell when price breaks below the 10-day low (System 1) or 20-day low (System 2)
- **Stop Loss:** 2x ATR (Average True Range) from entry
- **Position Sizing:** Based on volatility (ATR)
- **Philosophy:** Pure trend-following—catch big moves by riding breakouts
The Turtle system was a **trend-following** strategy that assumed breakouts would lead to sustained trends. It worked brilliantly in trending markets but suffered during choppy, range-bound conditions.

### The Turtle Soup Strategy (1990s)
In the 1990s, renowned trader **Linda Bradford Raschke** (along with Larry Connors) observed something interesting: many of the breakouts that the Turtle system traded actually *failed*. Price would spike above the 20-day high, trigger Turtle buy orders, then immediately reverse—trapping the breakout traders.
Raschke realized these failed breakouts were predictable and tradeable. She developed the **Turtle Soup** strategy, which does the *exact opposite* of the original Turtle system:
> *"Instead of buying the breakout, we wait for it to fail—then fade it."*
The name "Turtle Soup" is a clever play on words: the strategy essentially "eats" the Turtles by trading against them when their breakouts fail.
#### Original Turtle Soup Rules:
- **Setup:** Price makes a new 20-day high (or low)
- **Qualifier:** The previous 20-day high must be at least 3-4 days old (not a fresh breakout)
- **Entry Trigger:** Price reverses back inside the channel (failed breakout)
- **Entry:** Go SHORT (against the failed breakout above), or LONG (against the failed breakdown below)
- **Philosophy:** Mean-reversion—fade false breakouts and profit from trapped traders
#### Turtle Soup Plus One Variant:
Raschke also developed a more conservative variant called "Turtle Soup Plus One" which waits for the *next bar* after the breakout to confirm the failure before entering. This reduces false signals but may miss some opportunities.

## Our Enhanced Turtle Soup Strategy
We have taken the classic Turtle Soup concept and enhanced it with modern technical indicators and filters to improve signal quality and adapt to today's markets.
### Core Logic Preserved
The fundamental strategy remains true to Raschke's original concept:
| Turtle (Original) | Turtle Soup (Our Strategy) |
|-------------------|---------------------------|
| BUY breakout above 20-day high | SHORT when that breakout FAILS |
| SELL breakout below 20-day low | LONG when that breakdown FAILS |
| Trend-following | Mean-reversion |
| "The trend is your friend" | "Failed breakouts trap traders" |

### Enhancements & Improvements
#### 1. RSI Exhaustion Filter
**Addition:** RSI must confirm exhaustion before entry
- **For SHORT entries:** RSI > 60 (buyers exhausted)
- **For LONG entries:** RSI < 40 (sellers exhausted)
**Why:** The original Turtle Soup had no momentum filter. Adding RSI ensures we only fade breakouts when the market is showing signs of exhaustion, significantly reducing false signals. This enhancement was inspired by later traders who found RSI extremes (originally 90/10, softened to 60/40) dramatically improved win rates.
#### 2. ADX Trending Filter
**Addition:** ADX must be > 20 for trades to execute
**Why:** While the original Turtle Soup was designed for ranging markets, we found that requiring *some* trend strength (ADX > 20) actually improves results. This ensures we're trading in markets with enough directional movement to create meaningful failed breakouts, rather than random noise in dead markets.
#### 3. Heikin Ashi Smoothing
**Addition:** Optional Heikin Ashi calculations for breakout detection
**Why:** Heikin Ashi candles smooth out price noise and make trend reversals more visible. When enabled, the strategy uses HA values to detect breakouts and failures, reducing whipsaws from erratic price spikes.
#### 4. Dynamic Donchian Channels with Regime Detection
**Addition:** Color-coded channels based on market regime
- 🟢 **Green:** Bullish regime (uptrend + DI+ > DI- + OBV bullish)
- 🔴 **Red:** Bearish regime (downtrend + DI- > DI+ + OBV bearish)
- 🟡 **Yellow:** Neutral regime
**Why:** Visual regime detection helps traders understand the broader market context. The original Turtle Soup had no regime awareness—our enhancement lets traders see at a glance whether conditions favor the strategy.
#### 5. Volume Spike Detection (Optional)
**Addition:** Optional filter requiring volume surge on the breakout bar
**Why:** Failed breakouts are more significant when they occur on high volume. A volume spike on the breakout bar (default 1.2x average) indicates more traders got trapped, creating stronger reversal potential.
#### 6. ATR-Based Stops and Targets
**Addition:** Configurable ATR-based stop losses and profit targets
- **Stop Loss:** 1.5x ATR (default)
- **Profit Target:** 2.0x ATR (default)
**Why:** The original Turtle Soup used fixed stop placement. ATR-based stops adapt to current volatility, providing tighter stops in calm markets and wider stops in volatile conditions.
#### 7. Signal Cooldown
**Addition:** Minimum bars between trades (default 5)
**Why:** Prevents overtrading during choppy conditions where multiple failed breakouts might occur in quick succession.
#### 8. Real-Time Info Panel
**Addition:** Comprehensive dashboard showing:
- Current regime (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
- RSI value and zone
- ADX value and trending status
- Breakout status
- Bars since last high/low
- Current setup status
- Position status
**Why:** Gives traders instant visibility into all strategy conditions without needing to check multiple indicators.

## Entry Rules Summary
### SHORT Entry (Fading Failed Breakout Above)
1. ✅ Price breaks ABOVE the 20-period Donchian high
2. ✅ Previous 20-period high was at least 1 bar ago
3. ✅ Price closes back BELOW the Donchian high (failed breakout)
4. ✅ RSI > 60 (exhausted buyers)
5. ✅ ADX > 20 (trending market)
6. ✅ Cooldown period met
→ **Enter SHORT**, betting the breakout will fail
### LONG Entry (Fading Failed Breakdown Below)
1. ✅ Price breaks BELOW the 20-period Donchian low
2. ✅ Previous 20-period low was at least 1 bar ago
3. ✅ Price closes back ABOVE the Donchian low (failed breakdown)
4. ✅ RSI < 40 (exhausted sellers)
5. ✅ ADX > 20 (trending market)
6. ✅ Cooldown period met
→ **Enter LONG**, betting the breakdown will fail
---
## Exit Rules
1. **ATR Stop Loss:** Position closed if price moves 1.5x ATR against entry
2. **ATR Profit Target:** Position closed if price moves 2.0x ATR in favor
3. **Channel Exit:** Position closed if price breaks the exit channel in the opposite direction
4. **Mid-Channel Exit:** Position closed if price returns to channel midpoint

## Best Market Conditions
The Turtle Soup strategy performs best when:
- ✅ Markets are prone to false breakouts
- ✅ Volatility is moderate (not too low, not extreme)
- ✅ Price is oscillating within a broader range
- ✅ There are clear support/resistance levels
The strategy may struggle when:
- ❌ Strong trends persist (breakouts follow through)
- ❌ Volatility is extremely low (no meaningful breakouts)
- ❌ Markets are in news-driven directional moves

AlphaRank MA Lens – Multi-Timeframe Moving Average MapAlphaRank MA Lens – Multi-Timeframe Moving Average Map
AlphaRank MA Lens is a clean, open-source moving-average overlay that turns price action into an easy-to-read trend map. It focuses on structure and context only — no signals, no backtest, no hype — just a clear view of where price sits relative to key moving averages.
The script plots the 10 / 20 / 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 730 moving averages with full color control and a single “MA Type” switch, so you can flip the whole stack between SMA and EMA in one click. Instead of loading multiple separate MA indicators, this puts the full trend stack in one tool.
An optional background highlight lets you choose a reference MA (for example the 200 MA) and softly shade the chart:
Green when price is above that MA
Red when price is below it
This makes trend regime changes easy to see at a glance.
How traders typically use it (education only):
10/20/50 MAs → short-term trend and momentum.
100/150/200/730 MAs → bigger structural trend and “where price lives” in the long-term range.
Many traders consider conditions healthier when price and the short MAs are stacked above the longer MAs, and weaker when price trades below them.
