Reversed Large Bars Strategy with Williams %RThis strategy script is ideal for volatile assets such as Natural Gas (NATGAS) or Crude Oil (WTI/Brent), which often exhibit strong price movements with high volume.
How It Works:
The strategy identifies short-term reversals after two consecutive large candles with significant volume, under specific conditions. It is based on the assumption that after strong directional moves, a temporary price exhaustion or reversal may occur.
Logic Breakdown:
Large Bar Detection:
A bar is considered “large” if its range (high – low) is significantly higher than the average (by a configurable percentage) and is accompanied by a spike in volume.
Two Consecutive Large Bars:
Entry is only considered when two large bars appear back-to-back — this strengthens the momentum signal.
Candle Type Filter:
For short entries: Two consecutive large bullish bars followed by a bullish candle → implies overextension upwards.
For long entries: Two consecutive large bearish bars followed by a bearish candle → implies overextension downwards.
Williams %R Filter:
The Williams %R oscillator adds confirmation based on overbought/oversold conditions:
Longs are allowed when %R is below the oversold level.
Shorts are allowed when %R is above the overbought level.
Ratio Logic:
A running percentage of bullish vs bearish large bars is tracked over a rolling period. This ensures entries are filtered based on broader context and trend dominance.
Stop Loss / Take Profit / Breakeven:
Each trade includes configurable SL/TP, and optional breakeven logic:
If unrealized profit exceeds a set percentage, SL is moved to entry (optionally with a buffer).

MACD Liquidity Tracker Strategy [Quant Trading]MACD Liquidity Tracker Strategy
Overview
The MACD Liquidity Tracker Strategy is an enhanced trading system that transforms the traditional MACD indicator into a comprehensive momentum-based strategy with advanced visual signals and risk management. This strategy builds upon the original MACD Liquidity Tracker System indicator by TheNeWSystemLqtyTrckr , converting it into a fully automated trading strategy with improved parameters and additional features.
What Makes This Strategy Original
This strategy significantly enhances the basic MACD approach by introducing:
Four distinct system types for different market conditions and trading styles
Advanced color-coded histogram visualization with four dynamic colors showing momentum strength and direction
Integrated trend filtering using 9 different moving average types
Comprehensive risk management with customizable stop-loss and take-profit levels
Multiple alert systems for entry signals, exits, and trend conditions
Flexible signal display options with customizable entry markers
How It Works
Core MACD Calculation
The strategy uses a fully customizable MACD configuration with traditional default parameters:
Fast MA : 12 periods (customizable, minimum 1, no maximum limit)
Slow MA : 26 periods (customizable, minimum 1, no maximum limit)
Signal Line : 9 periods (customizable, now properly implemented and used)
Cryptocurrency Optimization : The strategy's flexible parameter system allows for significant optimization across different crypto assets. Traditional MACD settings (12/26/9) often generate excessive noise and false signals in volatile crypto markets. By using slower, more smoothed parameters, traders can capture meaningful momentum shifts while filtering out market noise.
Example - DOGE Optimization (45/80/290 settings) :
• Performance : Optimized parameters yielding exceptional backtesting results with 29,800% PnL
• Why it works : DOGE's high volatility and social sentiment-driven price action benefits from heavily smoothed indicators
• Timeframes : Particularly effective on 30-minute and 4-hour charts for swing trading
• Logic : The very slow parameters filter out noise and capture only the most significant trend changes
Other Optimizable Cryptocurrencies : This parameter flexibility makes the strategy highly effective for major altcoins including SUI, SEI, LINK, Solana (SOL) , and many others. Each crypto asset can benefit from custom parameter tuning based on its unique volatility profile and trading characteristics.
Four Trading System Types
1. Normal System (Default)
Long signals : When MACD line is above the signal line
Short signals : When MACD line is below the signal line
Best for : Swing trading and capturing longer-term trends in stable markets
Logic : Traditional MACD crossover approach using the signal line
2. Fast System
Long signals : Bright Blue OR Dark Magenta (transparent) histogram colors
Short signals : Dark Blue (transparent) OR Bright Magenta histogram colors
Best for : Scalping and high-volatility markets (crypto, forex)
Logic : Leverages early momentum shifts based on histogram color changes
3. Safe System
Long signals : Only Bright Blue histogram color (strongest bullish momentum)
Short signals : All other colors (Dark Blue, Bright Magenta, Dark Magenta)
Best for : Risk-averse traders and choppy markets
Logic : Prioritizes only the strongest bullish signals while treating everything else as bearish
4. Crossover System
Long signals : MACD line crosses above signal line
Short signals : MACD line crosses below signal line
Best for : Precise timing entries with traditional MACD methodology
Logic : Pure crossover signals for more precise entry timing
Color-Coded Histogram Logic
The strategy uses four distinct colors to visualize momentum:
🔹 Bright Blue : MACD > 0 and rising (strong bullish momentum)
🔹 Dark Blue (Transparent) : MACD > 0 but falling (weakening bullish momentum)
🔹 Bright Magenta : MACD < 0 and falling (strong bearish momentum)
🔹 Dark Magenta (Transparent) : MACD < 0 but rising (weakening bearish momentum)
Trend Filter Integration
The strategy includes an advanced trend filter using 9 different moving average types:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) - Default
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
HMA (Hull Moving Average)
RMA (Running Moving Average)
LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average)
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average)
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average)
VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average)
Default Settings : 50-period EMA for trend identification
Visual Signal System
Entry Markers : Blue triangles (▲) below candles for long entries, Magenta triangles (▼) above candles for short entries
Candle Coloring : Price candles change color based on active signals (Blue = Long, Magenta = Short)
Signal Text : Optional "Long" or "Short" text inside entry triangles (toggleable)
Trend MA : Gray line plotted on main chart for trend reference
Parameter Optimization Examples
DOGE Trading Success (Optimized Parameters) :
Using 45/80/290 MACD settings with 50-period EMA trend filter has shown exceptional results on DOGE:
Performance : Backtesting results showing 29,800% PnL demonstrate the power of proper parameter optimization
Reasoning : DOGE's meme-driven volatility and social sentiment spikes create significant noise with traditional MACD settings
Solution : Very slow parameters (45/80/290) filter out social media-driven price spikes while capturing only major momentum shifts
Optimal Timeframes : 30-minute and 4-hour charts for swing trading opportunities
Result : Exceptionally clean signals with minimal false entries during DOGE's characteristic pump-and-dump cycles
Multi-Crypto Adaptability :
The same optimization principles apply to other major cryptocurrencies:
SUI : Benefits from smoothed parameters due to newer coin volatility patterns
SEI : Requires adjustment for its unique DeFi-related price movements
LINK : Oracle news events create price spikes that benefit from noise filtering
Solana (SOL) : Network congestion events and ecosystem developments need smoothed detection
General Rule : Higher volatility coins typically benefit from very slow MACD parameters (40-50 / 70-90 / 250-300 ranges)
Key Input Parameters
System Type : Choose between Fast, Normal, Safe, or Crossover (Default: Normal)
MACD Fast MA : 12 periods default (no maximum limit, consider 40-50 for crypto optimization)
MACD Slow MA : 26 periods default (no maximum limit, consider 70-90 for crypto optimization)
MACD Signal MA : 9 periods default (now properly utilized, consider 250-300 for crypto optimization)
Trend MA Type : EMA default (9 options available)
Trend MA Length : 50 periods default (no maximum limit)
Signal Display : Both, Long Only, Short Only, or None
Show Signal Text : True/False toggle for entry marker text
Trading Applications
Recommended Use Cases
Momentum Trading : Capitalize on strong directional moves using the color-coded system
Trend Following : Combine MACD signals with trend MA filter for higher probability trades
Scalping : Use "Fast" system type for quick entries in volatile markets
Swing Trading : Use "Normal" or "Safe" system types for longer-term positions
Cryptocurrency Trading : Optimize parameters for individual crypto assets (e.g., 45/80/290 for DOGE, custom settings for SUI, SEI, LINK, SOL)
Market Suitability
Volatile Markets : Forex, crypto, indices (recommend "Fast" system or smoothed parameters)
Stable Markets : Stocks, ETFs (recommend "Normal" or "Safe" system)
All Timeframes : Effective from 1-minute charts to daily charts
Crypto Optimization : Each major cryptocurrency (DOGE, SUI, SEI, LINK, SOL, etc.) can benefit from custom parameter tuning. Consider slower MACD parameters for noise reduction in volatile crypto markets
Alert System
The strategy provides comprehensive alerts for:
Entry Signals : Long and short entry triangle appearances
Exit Signals : Position exit notifications
Color Changes : Individual histogram color alerts
Trend Conditions : Price above/below trend MA alerts

5 EMA STRATEGY by Power of Stocks(StockYogi)5 EMA STRATEGY by Power of Stocks(StockYogi)
This is a 5 EMA Breakout Strategy inspired by the trading principles taught by Shubhashi Pani, founder of the Power of Stocks (POS) community.
The strategy is designed to:
• Detect breakout setups when price breaks the high/low of a signal candle (based on EMA conditions)
• Enter trades only if the breakout occurs within the next 3 candles
• Allow multiple trades in the same direction without closing the earlier one
• Use independent stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) targets for each trade based on a user-defined risk-reward ratio
• Optionally enter trades only at candle close
• Optionally avoid trades during a custom time window (e.g., 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM IST)
• Optionally close all open positions at a defined time (e.g., 3:30 PM IST)
The goal of this strategy is to provide greater flexibility and realism for intraday or short-term traders following structured breakout systems.
Disclaimer: This script is an implementation of technical ideas for educational purposes only. It is not financial advice. All trading involves risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

Strategy Builder Pro [ChartPrime]ChartPrime Strategy Creator Overview
The ChartPrime Strategy Builder offers traders an innovative, structured approach to building and testing strategies. The Strategy Creator allows users to combine, test, and automate complex strategies with many parameters.
Key Features of the ChartPrime Strategy Builder
1. Customizable Buy and Sell Conditions
The Strategy Creator provides flexibility in establishing entry and exit rules, with separate sections for long and short strategies. Traders can combine multiple conditions in each section to fine-tune when positions are opened or closed. For instance, they might choose to only buy when the indicator signals a buy and the Dynamic Reactor (a low lag filter) indicator shows a bullish trend. Users are able to pick, mix and match the following list of features:
Signal Mode: Select the type of assistive signals you are requiring. Provided are both trend following signals with self optimization using backtest results as well as reversal signals, aiming to provide real time tops and bottoms in markets. Both these signal modes can be fine tuned using the tuning input to refine signals to a trader's liking. ChartPrime Trend Signals leverage audio engineering inspired techniques and low-pass filters in order to achieve and attempt to produce lower lag response times and therefore are designed to have a uniqueness when compared to more classical trend following approaches.
The Dynamic Reactor: provides a simple band passing through the chart. This can provide assistance in support and resistance locations as well as identifying the trend direction expressed via green and red colors. Taking a moving average and applying unique adaptivity calculations gives this plot a unique and fast behavior.
Candlestick structures: analyze candlestick formation putting a spin on classical candlestick patterns and provide the most relevant formations on the chart. These are not classical and are filtered by further analyzing market activity. A trader's classic with a spin.
The Prime Trend Assistant: provides a trend following dynamic support and resistance level. This makes it perfect to use in confluence or as a filter for other supporting indicators. This is an adaptive trend following system designed to handle volatility leveraging filter kernels as opposed to low pass filters.
Money Flow: with further filters applied for early response to money flow changes in the market. This can be a great filter in trends.
Oscillator reversals: are built in leveraging an oscillator focusing on market momentum allowing users to enter based on market shifts and trends along with reversals.
Volume-Inspired Signals: determine overbought and oversold conditions, adding another layer of analysis to the oscillator. These appear as orange labels, providing a simple reading into a possible reversal.
The Volume Matrix: is a volume oscillator that shows whether money is flowing into or out of the market. Green suggests an uptrend with buyers in control, while red indicates a majority of sellers. By incorporating smoothed volume analysis, it distinguishes between bullish and bearish volumes, offering an early indication of potential trend reversals.
The True 7: is a middle-ranking system that evaluates the strength of a move and the overall trend, offering a numeric or visual representation of trend strength. It can also indicate when a trend is starting to reverse, providing leading signals for potential market shifts. Rather than using an oscillator, this offers the unique edge of falling into set categories, making understanding it simple. This can be a great confluence point when designing a strategy.
Take profits: These offer real-time suggestions from our algorithm on when it might be a good time to take profit. Using these as part of a strategy allows for great entries at bottoms and tops of trends.
Using features such as the Dynamic reactor have dual purposes. Traders can use this as both a filter and an entry condition. This allows for true interoperability when using the Strategy Builder. The above conditions are duplicated for short entries too allowing for symmetrical trading systems. By disabling all of the entry conditions on either long or short areas of the settings will create a strategy that only takes a single type of position. For example; a trader that just wants to take longs can disable all short options.
2. Layered Entries
Layered entries, a feature to enhance the uniqueness in the tool. It allows traders to average into positions as the market moves, rather than committing all capital at once. This feature is particularly useful for volatile markets where prices may fluctuate substantially. The Strategy Builder lets users adjust the number of layered entries, which can help in managing risk and optimizing entry points as well as the aggressiveness of the safety orders. With each safety order placed the system will automatically and dynamically scale into positions reducing the average entry price and hence dynamically adjust the potential take profits. Due to the potential complexities of exiting during multiple orders, a smart system is employed to automatically take profits on the layered system aiming to take profits at peaks of trends.
Users are able to override this smart TP system at the bottom of the settings instead targeting percentage profits for both short and long positions.
Entries lowering average buy price
The ability to adjust how quickly the system layers into positions can also be adjusted via the layered entries drop down between fast and slow mode where the slow mode will be more cautious when producing new orders.
3. Flexible Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) Options
Traders can set their TP and SL levels according to various parameters, including ATR (Average True Range), risk-reward ratio, trailing stops, or specific price changes. If layered entries are active, an automatic TP method is applied by default, though traders can manually specify TP values if they prefer. This setup allows for precise control over trade exits, tailored to the strategy’s risk profile.
Provided options
The ability to use external take profits and stop losses is also provided. By loading an indicator of your choice the plots will be added to the chart. By navigating to the external sources area of the settings, users can select this plot and use it as part of a wider trading system.
Example: Let’s say a user has entries based on the inbuilt trend signals and wishes to exit whenever the RSI crosses above 70, they can add RSI to the chart, select crossing up and enter the value of 70.
4. Integrated Reinvestment for Compounding Gains
The reinvestment option allows traders to reinvest a portion of their gains into future trades, increasing trade size over time and benefiting from compounding. For example, a user might set 30% of each trade's profit to reinvest, with the remaining 70% allocated for risk management or additional safety orders. This approach can enhance long-term growth while balancing risk.
Generally in trading it can be a good approach to take profits so we suggest a healthy balance. This setting is generally best used for slow steady strategies with the long term aim of accumulating as much of the asset as possible.
5. Leverage and Position Sizing
Users can configure leverage and position sizing to simulate varying risk levels and capital allocations. A dashboard on the interface displays margin requirements based on the selected leverage, allowing traders to estimate trade sizes relative to their available capital. Whenever using leverage especially with layered entries it’s important to keep a close eye on the position sizes to avoid potential liquidations.
6. Pre-Configured Strategies for Immediate Testing
For users seeking a starting point, ChartPrime includes a range of preset strategies. These were developed and backtested by ChartPrime’s team. This allows traders to start with a stable base and adapt it to their own preferences. It is vital to understand that historical performance doesn't guarantee future success, and traders should be mindful of overfitting. These pre-built configurations offer a structured way and base to design strategies off of. These are also subject to changing results as new price action arrives and they become outdated. They serve the purpose of simply being example use cases.
7. In-Depth Specific Backtesting Ranges
The Strategy Builder includes backtesting capabilities, providing a clear view of how different setups would have performed over specified time periods. Traders can select date ranges to target specific market conditions, then review results on TradingView to see how their strategies perform across different market trends.
Example Use Case: Developing a Strategy
Consider a trader who is focused on long positions only and prefers a lower-risk strategy (note these tools can be used for all assets; we are using an undisclosed asset as an example). Using the Strategy Builder, they could:
- Disable short conditions.
- Set long entry rules to trigger when both the ChartPrime oscillator and Quantum Reactor indicators show bullish signals.
- Enable layered entries to improve average entry prices by adding to positions during market dips.
- Run a backtest over a two-year period to see historical performance trends, making adjustments as needed.
The backtest will show where entries and exits would have occurred and how layered entries may have impacted profitability.
8. Iterative design
Strategy builders and creating a strategy is often an iterative process. By experimenting and using logic; a trader can arrive at a more sustainable system. Analyzing the shortcomings of your strategy and iteratively designing and filtering them out is the goal. For example; let’s say a strategy has high drawdown, a user would want to tighten stop losses for example to reduce this and find a balance point between optimizing winning trades and reducing the drawdown. When designing a strategy there are generally tradeoffs and optimizing taking into consideration a wide range of factors is key. This also applies to filtering techniques, entries and exits and every variable in the strategy.
Let’s say a strategy was taking too many long positions in a downtrend and after you’ve analyzed the data, you come to the conclusion this needs to be solved. Filtering these using built in trend following tools can be a great approach and refining with logic is a great approach.
The Strategy Builder also takes into consideration those who seek to automate especially via reinvesting and leverage features.
Considerations
The ChartPrime Strategy Builder aims to help traders build clear, rule-based strategies without excessive complexity. As with all backtesting tools, it's crucial to understand that historical performance doesn't guarantee future success, and traders should be mindful of overfitting. This tool offers a structured way to test strategies against various market conditions, helping traders refine their approaches with data-driven insights. Traders should also ensure they enter the correct fees when designing strategies and ensure usage on standard candle types.
MNQ EMA StrategyThis strategy is not perfected yet. ONE MINUTE TIMEFRAME
The goal is to take Longs above the 5 ema when price is above all the 200, 30, and 5 ema.
Short side is when candle closes below the 5 ema and price is below the 300, 30, and 5 ema.
I use candle range blocks for different time zones to avoid excess orders from being triggered. As well as blocks when stoploss is hit or after a profitable trade of certain ticks.
There is an RSI to avoid trades when there isn't too much movement.
My goal is to get an entry when price trades above the 5 ema and then next candle passes it by .25 instead of entering immediately. The stoploss as the low of candle before entry and TP as 3 times the stoploss. I've tried a million times to make it like this but I don't know how to use pine script or Code.
The sell side is basically the same, enter at candle close below 5 ema wait for low to get swept to enter and stoploss above previous high, with TP 3 times the stoploss.
Publishing in hopes anyone knows how to adjust this
CAUTION THIS STRATEGY WORKS WITH CURRENT PRICE ACTION DUE TO ME USING RECENT TICK COUNT RATHER THAN BASED ON CANDLES OR PERCENTAGES. THIS WILL ONLY WORK AS LONG AS MARKET MOVES AS IT HAS BEEN SINCE 2024. CME_MINI:MNQ1!
Fusion Sniper X [ Crypto Strategy]📌 Fusion Sniper X — Description for TradingView
Overview:
Fusion Sniper X is a purpose-built algorithmic trading strategy designed for cryptocurrency markets, especially effective on the 1-hour chart. It combines advanced trend analysis, momentum filtering, volatility confirmation, and dynamic trade management to deliver a fast-reacting, high-precision trading system. This script is not a basic mashup of indicators, but a fully integrated strategy with logical synergy between components, internal equity management, and visual trade analytics via a customizable dashboard.
🔍 How It Works
🔸 Trend Detection – McGinley Dynamic + Gradient Slope
McGinley Dynamic is used as the baseline to reflect adaptive price action more responsively than standard moving averages.
A custom gradient filter, calculated using the slope of the McGinley line normalized by ATR, determines if the market is trending up or down.
trendUp when slope > 0
trendDown when slope < 0
🔸 Momentum Confirmation – ZLEMA-Smoothed CCI
CCI (Commodity Channel Index) is used to detect momentum strength and direction.
It is further smoothed with ZLEMA (Zero Lag EMA) to reduce noise while keeping lag minimal.
Entry is confirmed when:
CCI > 0 (Bullish momentum)
CCI < 0 (Bearish momentum)
🔸 Volume Confirmation – Relative Volume Spike Filter
Uses a 20-period EMA of volume to calculate the expected average.
Trades are only triggered if real-time volume exceeds this average by a user-defined multiplier (default: 1.5x), filtering out low-conviction signals.
🔸 Trap Detection – Wick-to-Body Reversal Filter
Filters out potential trap candles using wick-to-body ratio and body size compared to ATR.
Avoids entering on manipulative price spikes where:
Long traps show large lower wicks.
Short traps show large upper wicks.
🔸 Entry Conditions
A trade is only allowed when:
Within selected date range
Cooldown between trades is respected
Daily drawdown guard is not triggered
All of the following align:
Trend direction (McGinley slope)
Momentum confirmation (CCI ZLEMA)
Volume spike active
No trap candle detected
🎯 Trade Management Logic
✅ Take Profit (TP1/TP2 System)
TP1: 50% of the position is closed at a predefined % gain (default 2%).
TP2: Remaining 100% is closed at a higher profit level (default 4%).
🛑 Stop Loss
A fixed 2% stop loss is enforced per position using strategy.exit(..., stop=...) logic.
Stop loss is active for both TP2 and primary entries and updates the dashboard if triggered.
❄️ Cooldown & Equity Protection
A user-defined cooldown period (in bars) prevents overtrading.
A daily equity loss guard blocks new trades if portfolio drawdown exceeds a % threshold (default: 2.5%).
📊 Real-Time Dashboard (On-Chart Table)
Fusion Sniper X features a futuristic, color-coded dashboard with theme controls, showing:
Current position and entry price
Real-time profit/loss (%)
TP1, TP2, and SL status
Trend and momentum direction
Volume spike state and trap candle alerts
Trade statistics: total, win/loss, drawdown
Symbol and timeframe display
Themes include: Neon, Cyber, Monochrome, and Dark Techno.
📈 Visuals
McGinley baseline is plotted in orange for trend bias.
Bar colors reflect active positions (green for long, red for short).
Stop loss line plotted in red when active.
Background shading highlights active volume spikes.
✅ Why It’s Not Just a Mashup
Fusion Sniper X is an original system architecture built on:
Custom logic (gradient-based trend slope, wick trap rejection)
Synergistic indicator stacking (ZLEMA-smoothed momentum, ATR-based slope)
Position and equity tracking (not just signal-based plotting)
Intelligent risk control with take-profits, stop losses, cooldown, and max loss rules
An interactive dashboard that enhances usability and transparency
Every component has a distinct role in the system, and none are used as-is from public sources without modification or integration logic. The design follows a cohesive and rule-based structure for algorithmic execution.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This strategy is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Trading cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always backtest and forward-test before using on a live account. Use at your own risk.
📅 Backtest Range & Market Conditions Note
The performance results displayed for Fusion Sniper X are based on a focused backtest period from December 1, 2024 to May 10, 2025. This range was chosen intentionally due to the dynamic and volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets, where structural and behavioral shifts can occur rapidly. By evaluating over a shorter, recent time window, the strategy is tuned to current market mechanics and avoids misleading results that could come from outdated market regimes. This ensures more realistic, forward-aligned performance — particularly important for high-frequency systems operating on the 1-hour timeframe.

Volume Block Order AnalyzerCore Concept
The Volume Block Order Analyzer is a sophisticated Pine Script strategy designed to detect and analyze institutional money flow through large block trades. It identifies unusually high volume candles and evaluates their directional bias to provide clear visual signals of potential market movements.
How It Works: The Mathematical Model
1. Volume Anomaly Detection
The strategy first identifies "block trades" using a statistical approach:
```
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
isHighVolume = volume > avgVolume * volumeThreshold
```
This means a candle must have volume exceeding the recent average by a user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) to be considered a significant block trade.
2. Directional Impact Calculation
For each block trade identified, its price action determines direction:
- Bullish candle (close > open): Positive impact
- Bearish candle (close < open): Negative impact
The magnitude of impact is proportional to the volume size:
```
volumeWeight = volume / avgVolume // How many times larger than average
blockImpact = (isBullish ? 1.0 : -1.0) * (volumeWeight / 10)
```
This creates a normalized impact score typically ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, scaled by dividing by 10 to prevent excessive values.
3. Cumulative Impact with Time Decay
The key innovation is the cumulative impact calculation with decay:
```
cumulativeImpact := cumulativeImpact * impactDecay + blockImpact
```
This mathematical model has important properties:
- Recent block trades have stronger influence than older ones
- Impact gradually "fades" at rate determined by decay factor (default 0.95)
- Sustained directional pressure accumulates over time
- Opposing pressure gradually counteracts previous momentum
Trading Logic
Signal Generation
The strategy generates trading signals based on momentum shifts in institutional order flow:
1. Long Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from negative to positive
```
if ta.crossover(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
```
*Logic: Institutional buying pressure has overcome selling pressure, indicating potential upward movement*
2. Short Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from positive to negative
```
if ta.crossunder(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
```
*Logic: Institutional selling pressure has overcome buying pressure, indicating potential downward movement*
3. Exit Logic: Positions are closed when the cumulative impact moves against the position
```
if cumulativeImpact < 0
strategy.close("Long")
```
*Logic: The original signal is no longer valid as institutional flow has reversed*
Visual Interpretation System
The strategy employs multiple visualization techniques:
1. Color Gradient Bar System:
- Deep green: Strong buying pressure (impact > 0.5)
- Light green: Moderate buying pressure (0.1 < impact ≤ 0.5)
- Yellow-green: Mild buying pressure (0 < impact ≤ 0.1)
- Yellow: Neutral (impact = 0)
- Yellow-orange: Mild selling pressure (-0.1 < impact ≤ 0)
- Orange: Moderate selling pressure (-0.5 < impact ≤ -0.1)
- Red: Strong selling pressure (impact ≤ -0.5)
2. Dynamic Impact Line:
- Plots the cumulative impact as a line
- Line color shifts with impact value
- Line movement shows momentum and trend strength
3. Block Trade Labels:
- Marks significant block trades directly on the chart
- Shows direction and volume amount
- Helps identify key moments of institutional activity
4. Information Dashboard:
- Current impact value and signal direction
- Average volume benchmark
- Count of significant block trades
- Min/Max impact range
Benefits and Use Cases
This strategy provides several advantages:
1. Institutional Flow Detection: Identifies where large players are positioning themselves
2. Early Trend Identification: Often detects institutional accumulation/distribution before major price movements
3. Market Context Enhancement: Provides deeper insight than simple price action alone
4. Objective Decision Framework: Quantifies what might otherwise be subjective observations
5. Adaptive to Market Conditions: Works across different timeframes and instruments by using relative volume rather than absolute thresholds
Customization Options
The strategy allows users to fine-tune its behavior:
- Volume Threshold: How unusual a volume spike must be to qualify
- Lookback Period: How far back to measure average volume
- Impact Decay Factor: How quickly older trades lose influence
- Visual Settings: Labels and line width customization
This sophisticated yet intuitive strategy provides traders with a window into institutional activity, helping identify potential trend changes before they become obvious in price action alone.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The first setting you will want to set it the pyramiding setting. This setting controls the number of simultaneous trades in the same direction allowed in the strategy. For example, if you set it to 1, only one trade can be active in any time, and the second trade will not be entered unless the first one is exited. If it is set to 2, the script will handle both of them at the same time. Note that you should enter the same value to this pyramiding setting, and the pyramiding setting in the "Properties" tab of the script for this to work.
You can enable and set a backtesting window that will limit the entries to between the start date & end date.
Entry Conditions
From the "Long Conditions" or the "Short Conditions" groups, you can set your position entry conditions. For settings like "initial capital" or "order size", you can open the "Properties" tab, where these are handled.
The SFX Algo can use the following conditions for entry conditions :
1. Buy Signal (Any, or 1-5 ☆)
This condition is triggered when a Buy Signal occurs. Other timeframes are supported with this condition.
2. Buy | TP (1, 2 or 3)
This condition is triggered when a TP signal of any Buy signal occurs.
3. Buy | SL
This condition is triggered when a SL signal of any Buy signal occurs.
4. Buy | Rating Upgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a buy signal is increased.
5. Buy | Rating Downgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a buy signal is decreased.
6. Sell Signal (Any, or 1-5 ☆)
This condition is triggered when a Sell Signal occurs. Other timeframes are supported with this condition.
7. Sell | TP (1, 2 or 3)
This condition is triggered when a TP signal of any Sell signal occurs.
8. Sell | SL
This condition is triggered when a SL signal of any Sell signal occurs.
9. Sell | Rating Upgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a sell signal is increased.
10. Sell | Rating Downgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a sell signal is decreased.
11. Retracement Wave Retest (Bullish or Bearish)
A retest on the Retracement Wave occurs when the price temporarily moves against the prevailing trend, touching or entering the wave before continuing in the original trend direction. This retest serves as a confirmation that the wave is acting as dynamic support or resistance.
12. Retracement Wave Retracement (Bullish or Bearish)
A retracement on the Retracement Wave occurs when the price touches the wave, the condition is triggered immediately.
13. Volatility Bands Retest (Bullish or Bearish)
A retest of Volatility Bands occurs when the price initially moves beyond the bands, then pulls back to "retest" the band it just broke through before continuing its move. This can provide traders with confirmation of a breakout or signal a potential reversal.
14. Volatility Bands Retracement (Bullish or Bearish)
A retracement on the Volatility Bands occur when the price touches the band, the condition is triggered immediately.
🕒 TIMEFRAME CONDITIONS
The SFX Automation supports Multi-Timeframe (MTF) features for Buy & Sell signals. When setting an entry condition, you can also choose the timeframe.
External Conditions
Users can use external indicators on the chart to set entry conditions.
The second dropdown in the external condition settings allows you to choose a conditional operator to compare external outputs. Available options include:
Less Than or Equal To: <=
Less Than: <
Equal To: =
Greater Than: >
Greater Than or Equal To: >=
The position entry conditions work like this ;
Each side has 3 SFX Algo conditions and 2 Source conditions. Each condition can be enabled or disabled using the checkbox on the left side of them.
You can select which timeframe this condition should work on for Buy & Sell signals. If you select "Chart", the condition will work for the chart's current timeframe.
Lastly select the step of this condition from 1 to 6.
The Source Condition
The last condition on each side is a source condition that is different from the others. Using this condition, you can create your own logic using other indicators' outputs on your chart. For example, suppose that you have an EMA indicator in your chart. You can have the source condition to something like "EMA > high".
The Step System
Each condition has a step number, and conditions are in topological order based on them.
The conditions are executed step by step. This means the condition with step 2 cannot be executed before the condition with step 1 is executed.
Conditions with the same step numbers have "OR" logic. This means that if you have 2 conditions with step 3, the condition with step 4 can trigger after only one of the step 3 conditions is executed.
➕ OTHER ENTRY FEATURES
The SFX Automation allows traders to choose when to execute trades and when not to execute trades.
1. Only Take Trades
This setting lets users specify the time period when their strategy can open or execute trades.
2. Don't Take Trades
This setting lets users specify time periods when their strategy can't open or execute trades.
↩️ EXIT CONDITIONS
1. Exit on Opposite Signal
When enabled, a long position will close when short entry conditions are met, and a short position will close when long entry conditions are met.
2. Exit on Session End
When enabled, positions will be closed at the end of the trading session.
📈 TAKE PROFIT CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting take profit exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition TP
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for take profit exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed TP
Users can set a fixed TP for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a TP exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price TP to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $190, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $200 ($190 + $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a TP exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
🧩EXIT PERCENTAGES
For each 3 dynamic take-profit conditions, you can set the amount of the position to exit in terms of percentage. It's important to make sure that the total of the exit percentages are 100%.
📉 STOP LOSS CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting stop-loss exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition SL
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for stop-loss exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed SL
Users can set a fixed SL for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a SL exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price SL to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $200, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $190 ($200 - $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a SL exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
3. Trailing Stop
An explanation & example for the trailing stop feature is present on the write-up within the next section.
Exit conditions have the same logic of constructing conditions like the entry ones. You can construct a Take-Profit Condition & a Stop-Loss Condition. Note that the Take-Profit condition will only work if the position is in profit, regardless of if it's triggered or not. The same applies for the Stop-Loss condition, meaning that it will only work if the position is in loss.
You can also set a Fixed TP & Fixed SL based on the price movement after the position is entered. You have options like "Price", "Ticks", "%", or "Average True Range". For example, you can set a Fixed TP like "5%", and the position will be entered once it moves 5% up in a long position.
Trailing Stop
For the Fixed SL, you also have a "Trailing" stop option, which you can set it's activation level as well. The Trailing stop activation level and it's value are expressed in ticks. Check this scenerio for an example :
We have a ticker with a tick value of $1. Our Trailing Stop is set to 10 ticks, and the activation level is set to 30 ticks.
We buy 1 contract when the price is $100.
When the price becomes $110, we are in $10 (10 ticks) profit and the trailing stop is now activated.
The current price our stop's on is $110 - $30 (30 ticks), which is the level of $80.
The trailing stop will only move if the price moves up the highest high the price has been after we entered the position.
Let's suppose that price moves up $40 right after our trailing stop is activated. The price will now be $150, and our trailing stop will sit on $150 - $30 (30 ticks) = $120.
If the price is down the $120 level, our stop loss will be triggered.
There is also a "Hard SL" option designed for a backup stop-loss when trailing stops are enabled. You can enable & set this option and if the price goes down before our trailing stop even activates, the position will be exited.
You can also move stop-loss to the break-even (entry price of the position) after a certain profit is achieved using the last setting of the exit conditions. Note that for this to work, you will need to have a Fixed SL setup.
➕ OTHER EXIT FEATURES
1. Move Stop Loss to Breakeven
This setting allows the strategy to automatically move the SL to Breakeven (BE) when the position is in profit by a certain amount. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method moves the SL to BE when price reaches a specified level.
Ticks: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Example Entry Scenario
To give an example , check this scenario; out conditions are :
LONG CONDITIONS
Buy Signal Any☆, Step 1
Bullish R. Wave Retest, Step 2
Bullish V. Bands Retest, Step 2
open > close, Step 3
First, the strategy needs to detect a Buy Signal with any star rating in order to start working.
After it's detected, now it's looking for either a Bullish R. Wave Retest, or a Bullish V. Bands Retest to proceed to the next step, the reason for this is that they both have the same step number.
After one of them is detected, the strategy will consistently check candlesticks for the condition open > close. If a bullish candlestick occurs, a long position will be entered.
⏰ ALERTS
This indicator uses TradingView's strategy alert system. All entries and exits will be sent as an alert if configured. It's possible to further customize these alerts to your liking. For more information, check TradingView's strategy alert customization page: www.tradingview.com
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. Backtesting Settings
Pyramiding: Controls the number of simultaneous trades allowed in the strategy. This setting must have the same value that is entered on the script's properties tab on the settings pane.
Enable Custom Backtesting Period: Restricts backtesting to a specific date range.
Start & End Time Configuration: Define precise start and end dates for historical analysis.
2. Algorithm Settings
Sensitivity: The sensitivity setting is a key parameter that influences the number of signals the SFX Algo generates. By adjusting this parameter, you can control the frequency of signals produced by the algorithm.
Signal Strength: The Signal Strength setting filters signals based on their quality, allowing traders to focus on the most reliable opportunities. This feature helps traders balance the quantity and reliability of the algorithm’s signals to suit their trading strategy.
Time Weighting: The Time Weighting setting determines how the SFX Algo evaluates historical market data to generate signals.
a) Recent Trends
Focuses on the most recent movements for short-term analysis. This setting is good for scalpers and intraday traders who need to react quickly to market changes.
b) Mixed Trends
Balances recent and historical price movements for a comprehensive market view. This setting is well-suited for swing traders and those who want to capture medium-term opportunities by combining the benefits of short-term responsiveness with the reliability of long-term trends.
c) Long-term Trends
Relies on extended historical market data to identify broader market trends, making it an excellent choice for traders focused on long-term strategies.
Minimum Star Rating: The Minimum Star Rating setting allows you to filter signals based on their strength, showing only those that meet or exceed your chosen threshold. For instance, setting the minimum star rating to 3 ensures you only receive signals with a rating of 3 stars or higher.
3. Take Profit / Stop Loss Methods
Key Levels
The Key Levels method uses pivot points to set take profit and stop-loss levels. The TP and SL levels are shown when a new signal is generated.
Volatility Bands
This TP/SL method uses the Volatility Bands overlay to set dynamic TP and SL levels. These levels are not predetermined so they will not be shown in advance when a signal is generated.
Signal Rating
Sets take profit and stop-loss levels based on changes in a signal's rating strength. These levels are not predetermined so they will not be shown in advance when a signal is generated.
Auto Stop-Loss
The auto method can only be applied to the SL. The auto method allows the algorithm to detect SL automatically when a momentum shift is detected. You can adjust the risk tolerance of the Auto SL by adjusting the ‘Auto Risk Tolerance’ setting. You can choose between Low, Medium, and High. A high-risk tolerance will result in stop losses being triggered less often.
4. Entry Conditions for Long & Short Trades
Multiple Conditions (1-6): Configure up to six independent conditions per trade direction.
Timeframe Specification: Choose between timeframes for Buy & Sell signals.
Trade Execution Filters: Restrict trades within specific trading sessions.
5. Exit Conditions for Long & Short Trades
Exit on Opposite Signal: Automatically exit trades upon opposite trade conditions.
Exit on Session End: Closes all positions at the end of the trading session.
Multiple Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) Configurations:
TP/SL based on % move, ATR, Ticks, or Fixed Price.
Hard SL option for additional risk control.
Move SL to BE (Break Even) after a certain profit threshold.
Liquidity Trading Algorithm (LTA)
The Liquidity Trading Algorithm is an algorithm designed to provide trade signals based on
liquidity conditions in the market. The underlying algorithm is based on the Liquidity
Dependent Price Movement (LDPM) metric and the Liquidity Dependent Price Stability (LDPS)
algorithm.
Together, LDPM and LDPS demonstrate statistically significant forecasting capabilities for price-
action on equities, cryptocurrencies, and futures. LTA takes these liquidity measurements and
translates them into actionable insights by way of entering or exiting a position based
on the future outlooks, as measured by the current liquidity status.
The benefit of LTA is that it can incorporate these powerful liquidity measurements into
actionable insights with several features designed to help you tailor LTA's behavior and
measurements to your desired vantage point. These customizable features come by the way of determining LTA's assessment style, and additional monitoring systems for avoiding bear and bull traps, along with various other quality of life features, discussed in more detail below.
First, a few quick facts:
- LTA is compatible on a wide array of instruments, including Equities, Futures, Cryptocurrencies, and Forex.
- LTA is compatible on most intervals in so long as the data can be calculated appropriately,
(be sure to do a backtest on timescales less than 1-minue to ensure the data can be computed).
- LTA only measures liquidity at the end of the interval of the chart chosen, and does not respond to conditions during the candle interval, unless specified (such as with `Stops`).
- LTA is interval-dependent, this means it will measure and behave differently on different
intervals as the underlying algorithms are dependent on the interval chosen.
- LTA can utilize fractional share sizing for cryptocurrencies.
- LTA can be restricted to either bullish or bearish indications.
- Additional Monitoring Systems are available for additional risk mitigation.
In short, LTA is a widely applicable, unique algorithm designed to translate liquidity measurements into liquidity insights.
Before getting more into the details, here is a quick list of the main features and settings
available for customization:
- Backtesting Start Date: Manual selection of the start date for the algorithm during backtesting.
- Assessment Style: adjust how LDPM and LDPS measure and respond to changes in liquidity.
- Impose Wait: force LTA to wait before entering or exiting a position to ensure conditions have remained conducive.
- Trade Direction Allowance: Restrict LTA to only long or only short, if desired.
- Position Sizing Method: determine how LTA calculates position sizing.
- Fractional Share Sizing: allow LTA to calculate fractional share sizes for cryptocurrencies
- Max Size Limit: Impose a maximum size on LTA's positions.
- Initial Capital: Indicate how much capital LTA should stat with.
- Portfolio Allotment: Indicate to LTA how much (in percentages) of the available balance should be considered when calculating position size.
- Enact Additional Monitoring Systems: Indicate if LTA should impose additional safety criteria when monitoring liquidity.
- Configure Take Profit, Stop-Loss, Trailing Stop Loss
- Display Information tables on the current position, overall strategy performance, along
with a text output showing LTA's processes.
- Real-time text output and updates on LTA's inner workings.
Let's get into some more of the details.
LTA's Assessment Style
LTA's assessment style determines how LTA collects and responds to changing data. In traditional terms, this is akin to (but not quite exactly the same as) the sensitivity versus specificity spectrum, whereby on one end (the sensitive end), an algorithm responds to changes in data in a reactive manner (which tends to lower its specificity, or how often it is correct in its indications), and on the other end, the opposite one, the algorithm foresakes quick changes for longevity of outlook.
While this is in part true, it is not a full view of the underlying mechanisms that changing the assessment style augments. A better analogy would be that the sensitive end of the spectrum (`Aggressive`) is in a state such that the algorithm wants to changing its outlooks, and as such, with changes in data, the algorithm has to be convinced as to why that is not a good idea to change outlooks, whereas the the more specific states (`Conservative`, `Diamond`) must be convinced that their view is no longer valid and that it needs to be changed.
This means the `Aggressive` and the `Diamond` settings fundamentally differ not just in their
data collection, but also in the data processing such that the `Aggressive` decision tree has to
be convinced that the data is the same (as its defualt is that it has changed),
and the `Diamond` decision tree has to be convinced that the data is not the same, and as such, the outlook need changed.
From there, the algorithm cooks through the data and determines to what the outlook should be changed to, given the current state of liquidity.
`Balanced` lies in the middle of this balance, attempting to balance being open to new ideas while not removing the wisdom of the past, as it were.
On a scale of most `sensitive` to most `specific`, it is as follows: `Aggressive`, `Balanced`,
`Conservative`, `Diamond`.
Functionally, these different modes can help in different liquidity environments, as certain
environments are more conducive to an eager approach (such as found near `Aggressive`) or are more conducive to a more conservative approach, where sudden changes in liquidity are known to be short-lived and unremarkable (such as many previously identified bull or bear traps).
For instance, on low interval views, it can often-times be beneficial to keep the algorithm towards the `Sensitive` end, since on the lower-timeframes, the crosswinds can change quite dramatically; whereas on the longer intervals, it may be useful to maintain a more `Specific` algorithm (such as found near `Diamond` mode) setting since longer intervals typically lend themselves to longer time-horizons, which themselves typically lend themselves to "weathering the storm", as it were.
LTA's Assessment Style is also supported by the Additional Monitoring Systems which works
to add sensitivity without sacrificing specificity by enacting a separate monitoring system, as described below.
Additional Monitoring Systems
The Additional Monitoring System (AMS) attempts to add more context to any changes in liquidity conditions as measured, such that LTA as a whole will have an expanded view into any rapidly changing liquidity conditions before these changes manifest in the traditional data streams. The ideal is that this allows for early exits or early entrances to positions "a head of time".
The traditional use of this system is to indicate when liquidity is suggestive of the end of a particular run (be it a bear run or a bull run), so an early exit can be initiated (and thus,
downside averted) even before the data officially showcase such changes. In such cases (when AMS becomes activated), the algorithm will signal to exit any open positions, and will restrict the opening of any new positions.
When a position is exited because of AMS, it is denoted as an `Early Exit` and if a position is prevented from being entered, the text output will display `AM prevented entry...` to indicate that conditions are not meeting AMS' additional standards.
The algorithm will wait to make any actions while `AMS` is `active` and will only enter into a new position once `AMS` has been `deactivated` and overall liquidity conditions are appropriate.
Functionally, the benefits of AMS translate to:
- Toggeling AMS on will typically see a net reduction in overall profitability, but
- AMS will typically (almost always) reduce max drawdown,
an increases in max runup, and increase return-over-maxdrawdown, and
- AMS can provide benefit for equities that experience a lot of "traps" by navigating early
entrance and early exits.
So in short, AMS is way of adding an additional level of liquidity monitoring that attempts to
exit positions if conditions look to be deteriorating, and to enter conditions if they look to be
improving. The cost of this additional monitoring, however, is a greater number of trades indicated, and a lower overall profitability.
Impose Wait
Note: `Impose Wait` will not force Take Profit, Stop Loss, or Trailing Stop Loss to
wait.
LTA can be indicated to `wait` before entering or exiting a position if desired. This means that if conditions change, whereas without a `wait` imposed, the algorithm would immediately indicate this change via a signal to alter the strategy's position, with a `wait` imposed, the algorithm will `wait` the indicated number of bars, and then re-check conditions before proceeding.
If, while waiting, conditions change to a state that is no longer compatible with the "order-in-
waiting", then the order-in-waiting is removed, and the counts reset (i.e.: conditions must remain favorable to the intended positional change throughout the wait period).
Since LTA works at the end-of-intervals, there is an inherently "built-in" wait of 1 bar when
switching directly from long to short (i.e.: if a full switch is indicated, then it is indicated as
conditions change -> exit new position -> wait until -> check conditions ->
enter new position as indicated). Thus, to impose a wait of `1 bar` would be to effectively have a total of two candles' ends prior to the entrance of the new position).
There are two main styles of `Impose Wait` that you can utilize:
- `Wait` : this mode will cause LTA to `wait` when both entering and exiting a position (in so long as it is not an exit signaled via a Take Profit, Stop Loss or Trailing Stop Loss).
- `Exit-Wait` : This mode will >not< cause LTA to `wait` if conditions require the closing of a position, but will force LTA to wait before entering into a position.
Position:
In addition to the availability to restrict LTA to either a long-only or short-only strategy, LTA
also comprises additional flexibility when deciding on how it should navigate the markets with
regards to sizing. Notably, this flexibility benefits several aspects of LTA's existence, namely the ability to determine the `Sizing Method`, or if `Fractional Share Sizing` should be employed, and more, as discussed below.
Position Sizing Method
There are two main ways LTA can determine the size of a position. Either via the `Fixed-Share` choice, or the `Fixed-Percentage` choice.
- `Fixed-Share` will use the amount indicated in the `Max Sizing Limit` field as the position size, always.
Note: With `Fixed-Share` sizing, LTA will >not< check if the balance is sufficient
prior to signaling an entrance.
- `Fixed-Percentage` will use the percentage amount indicated in the `Portfolio Allotment` field as the percentage of available funds to use when calculating the position size. Additionally, with the `Fixed-Percentage` choice, you can set the `Max Sizing Limit` if desired, which will ensure that no position will be entered greater than the amount indicated in the field.
Fractional Share Sizing
If the underlying instrument supports it (typically only cryptocurrencies), share sizing can be
fractionalized. If this is done, the resulting positin size is rounded to `4 digits`. This means any
position with a size less than `0.00005` will be rounded to `0.0000`
Note: Ensure that the underlying instrument supports fractional share sizing prior
to initiating.
Max Sizing Limit
As discussed above, the `Max Sizing Limit` will determine:
- The position size for every position, if `Sizing Method : Fixed-Share` is utilized, or
- The maximum allowed size, regardless of available capital, if `Sizing Method : Fixed-Percentage` is utilized.
Note: There is an internal maximum of 100,000 units.
Initial Capital
Note: There are 2 `Initial Capital` settings; one in LTA's settings and one in the
`Properties` tab. Ensure these two are the same when doing backtesting.
The initial capital field will be used to determine the starting balanace of the strategy, and
is used to calculate the internal data reporting (the data tables).
Portfolio Allotment
You can specify how much of the total available balance should be used when calculating the share size. The default is 100%.
Stops
Note: Stops over-ride `AMS` and `Impose Wait`, and are not restricted to only the
end-of-candle and will occur instantaneously upon their activation. Neither `AMS` nor `Impose Wait` can over-ride a signal from a `Take-Profit`, `Stop-Loss`, or a `Trailing-Stop Loss`.
LTA enhouses three stops that can be configured, a `Take-Profit`, a `Stop-Loss` and a `Trailing-Stop Loss`. The configurations can be set in the settings in percent terms. These exit signals will always over-ride AMS or any other restrictions on position exit.
Their configuration is rather standard; set the percentages you want the signal to be sent at and so it will be done.
Some quick notes on the `Trailing-Stop Loss`:
- The activation percentage must be reached (in profits) prior to the `Traililng-Stop Loss`
from activating the downside protection. For example, if the `Activation Percentage` is 10%, then unless the position reaches (at any point) a 10% profit, then it will not signal any exits on the downside, should it occur.
- The downside price-point is continuously updated and is calculated from the maximum profit reached in the given position and the loss percentage placed in the appropriate field.
Data Tables and Data Output
LTA provides real-time data output through a variety of mechanisms:
- `Position Table`
The `Position Table` displays information about the current position, including:
> Position Duration : how long the position has been open for.
> Indicates if the side is Long or Short, depending on if it is long or short.
> Entry Price: the price the position was entered at.
> Current Price (% Dif): the current price of the underlying and the %-difference between the entry price and the current price.
> Max Profit ($/%): the maximum profit reached in $ and % terms.
> Current PnL ($/%) : the current PnL for the open position.
- `Performance Table`
The `Performance Table` displays information regarding the overall performance of the algorithm since its `Start Date`. These data include:
> Initial Equity ($): The initial equity the algorithm started with.
> Current Equity ($): The current total equity of the account (including open positions)
> Net Profits ($|%) : The overall net profit in $ and % terms.
> Long / Short Trade Counts: The respective trade counts for the positions entered.
> Total Closed Trades: The running sum of the number of trades closed.
> Profitability: The calculation of the number of profitable trades over the total number of
trades.
> Avg. Profit / Trade: The calculation of the average profit per trade in both $ and % terms.
> Avg. Loss / Trade: The calculation of the average loss per trade in both $ and % terms.
> Max Run-Up: The maximum run-up the algorithm has seen in both $ and % terms.
> Max Drawdown: The maximum draw-down the algorithm has seen in both $ and % terms.
> Return-Over-Max-Drawdown: the ratio of the maximum drawdown against the current net profits.
- `Text Output`
LTA will output, if desired, signals to the text output field every time it analysis or performs and action. These messages can include information such as:
"
08:00:00 >> AM Protocol activated ... exiting position ...
08:00:00 >> Exit Order Created for qty: 2, profit: 380 (4.34%)
...
09:30:00 >> Checking conditions ...
09:30:00 >> AM protocol prevented entry ... waiting ...
"
This way, you can keep an eye out on what is happening "under the hood", as it were.
LTA will produce a message at the end of its assessment at the end of each candle interval, as well as when a position is exited due to a `Stop` or due to `AMS` being activated.
Additionally, the `Text Output` includes a initial message, but for space-constraints, this
can be toggled off with the `Blank Text Output` option within LTA's configurations.

4Vietnamese 3x SupertrendThis strategy attempts to capture long positions in the Vietnamese stock market using a combination of three Supertrend indicators and additional filters. It utilizes pyramiding to enter up to three long positions with a 33.33% allocation each.
Key Elements:
Supertrend Indicators: Three Supertrend indicators are used with different lengths and multipliers to identify potential trend changes.
Entry Conditions:
The strategy looks for a downtrend on the slowest Supertrend (Supertrend3) followed by uptrends on the medium (Supertrend2) and fast (Supertrend1) Supertrends.
Alternatively, if Supertrend3 is still downtrending, but Supertrend1 is downtrending and a significant previous high (highestGreen) exists, an entry signal is generated.
An optional filter allows using the highest of the last two red candles for highestGreen calculation.
Entry Stop Loss:
An optional stop loss can be set based on the entry price of previous long positions, preventing further losses if the price falls below entry prices.
Exit Conditions:
Three exit options are available:
- All Downtrend Exit: Close all positions if all Supertrends turn uptrend and a bearish candlestick pattern (close price lower than open price) is formed.
- Average Price in Loss Exit: Close all positions if the average entry price of open positions is higher than the current closing price (indicating a loss).
- All Positions in Loss Exit: Close all positions if any of the following conditions are met:
A single open position exists, and its entry price is higher than the current close price.
Two open positions exist, and their entry prices are both higher than the current close price.
Three open positions exist, and their entry prices are all higher than the current close price.
Pyramiding: The strategy allows entering up to three long positions with a fixed allocation of 33.33% each.
Customization Options:
The strategy provides various input parameters to customize its behavior:
Supertrend lengths and multipliers for each indicator.
Option to use the highest of the last two red candles for highestGreen calculation.
Enabling/disabling Entry Stop Loss and different exit conditions.
Further Enhancements:
Explore additional entry and exit filters to refine trade signals.
Consider incorporating risk management techniques like position sizing and trailing stops.
Backtest the strategy with historical data to evaluate its effectiveness and identify potential areas for improvement.
Fibonacci-Only StrategyFibonacci-Only Strategy
This script is a custom trading strategy designed for traders who leverage Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential trade entries and exits. The strategy is versatile, allowing users to trade across multiple timeframes, with built-in options for dynamic stop loss, trailing stops, and take profit levels.
Key Features:
Custom Fibonacci Levels:
This strategy calculates three specific Fibonacci retracement levels: 19%, 82.56%, and the reverse 19% level. These levels are used to identify potential areas of support and resistance where price reversals or breaks might occur.
The Fibonacci levels are calculated based on the highest and lowest prices within a 100-bar period, making them dynamic and responsive to recent market conditions.
Dynamic Entry Conditions:
Touch Entry: The script enters long or short positions when the price touches specific Fibonacci levels and confirms the move with a bullish (for long) or bearish (for short) candle.
Break Entry (Optional): If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script can also enter positions when the price breaks through Fibonacci levels, providing more aggressive entry opportunities.
Stop Loss Management:
The script offers flexible stop loss settings. Users can choose between a fixed percentage stop loss or an ATR-based stop loss, which adjusts based on market volatility.
The ATR (Average True Range) stop loss is multiplied by a user-defined factor, allowing for tailored risk management based on market conditions.
Trailing Stop Mechanism:
The script includes an optional trailing stop feature, which adjusts the stop loss level as the market moves in favor of the trade. This helps lock in profits while allowing the trade to run if the trend continues.
The trailing stop is calculated as a percentage of the difference between the entry price and the current market price.
Multiple Take Profit Levels:
The strategy calculates seven take profit levels, each at incremental percentages above (for long trades) or below (for short trades) the entry price. This allows for gradual profit-taking as the market moves in the trade's favor.
Each take profit level can be customized in terms of the percentage of the position to be closed, providing precise control over exit strategies.
Strategy Backtesting and Results:
Realistic Backtesting:
The script has been backtested with realistic account sizes, commission rates, and slippage settings to ensure that the results are applicable to actual trading scenarios.
The backtesting covers various timeframes and markets to ensure the strategy's robustness across different trading environments.
Default Settings:
The script is published with default settings that have been optimized for general use. These settings include a 15-minute timeframe, a 1.0% stop loss, a 2.0 ATR multiplier for stop loss, and a 1.5% trailing stop.
Users can adjust these settings to better fit their specific trading style or the market they are trading.
How It Works:
Long Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a long position when the price touches the 19% Fibonacci level (from high to low) or the reverse 19% level (from low to high) and confirms the move with a bullish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a long position when the price breaks below the 19% Fibonacci level and then moves back up, confirming the break with a bullish candle.
Short Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a short position when the price touches the 82.56% Fibonacci level and confirms the move with a bearish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a short position when the price breaks above the 82.56% Fibonacci level and then moves back down, confirming the break with a bearish candle.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
The stop loss for each trade is calculated based on the selected method (fixed percentage or ATR-based). The strategy then manages the trade by either trailing the stop or taking profit at predefined levels.
The take profit levels are set at increments of 0.5% above or below the entry price, depending on whether the position is long or short. The script gradually exits the trade as these levels are hit, securing profits while minimizing risk.
Usage:
For Fibonacci Traders:
This script is ideal for traders who rely on Fibonacci retracement levels to find potential trade entries and exits. The script automates the process, allowing traders to focus on market analysis and decision-making.
For Trend and Swing Traders:
The strategy's flexibility in handling both touch and break entries makes it suitable for trend-following and swing trading strategies. The multiple take profit levels allow traders to capture profits in trending markets while managing risk.
Important Notes:
Originality: This script uniquely combines Fibonacci retracement levels with dynamic stop loss management and multiple take profit levels. It is not just a combination of existing indicators but a thoughtful integration designed to enhance trading performance.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk, and it is crucial to test this script in a demo account or through backtesting before applying it to live trading. Users should ensure that the settings align with their individual risk tolerance and trading strategy.
Moving Average Crossover Swing StrategyMoving Average Crossover Swing Strategy
**Overview:**
The basic concept of this strategy is to generate a signal when a faster/shorter length moving average crosses over (for Longs) or crosses under (for Shorts) a medium/longer length moving average. All of which are customizable. This strategy can work on any timeframe, however the daily is the timeframe used for the default settings and screenshots, as it was designed to be a multi-day swing strategy. Once a signal has been confirmed with a candle close, based on user options, the strategy will enter the trade on the open of the next candle.
The crossover strategy is nothing new to trading, but what can make this strategy unique and helpful, is the addition of further confirmation points, ATR based stop loss and take profit targets, optional early exit criteria, customizable to your needs and style, and just about everything visual can be toggled on/off. This strategy is based on a Trend (MA) indicator and a Momentum (MACD) indicator. While a Volume-based indicator is not shown here, one could consider using their favorite from that category to further compliment the signal idea.
It should be noted that depending on the time frame, direction(s) chosen, the signal options, confirmation options, and exit options selected, that a ticker may not produce more than 100 trades on the back test. Depending on your style and frequency, one could consider adjusting options and/or testing multiple tickers. It should also be noted that this strategy simply tests the underlying stock prices, not options contracts. And of course, testing this strategy against historical data does not assume that the same results will occur in future price action.
Shoutout given to Ripster's Clouds Indicator as pieces of that code were taken and modified to create both the Cloud visualization effects, and the Moving Average Pair Plots that are implemented in this strategy.
BASIC DEFAULTS
All can be changed as normal
Initial capital = 10,000
Order Sizing = 25% of equity (use the "Inputs" tab to modify this)
Pyramiding = 0
Commission = 0.65 USD per order
Price Verification = 1 tick
Slippage = 1 tick
RISK MANAGMENT
You will notice two different percentage options and ATR multipliers. This strategy will adjust position sizing by not exceeding either one of those % values based on the ATR (Average True Range) of the symbol and the multipliers selected, should the stock hit the stop loss price.
For Example, lets assume these values are true:
Account size = $10,000,
Max Risk = 1% of account size
Max Position Size = 25% of the account size
Stock Price = 23.45
ATR = 3.5
ATR Stop Loss Multiplier = 1.4
Then the formulas would be:
ACCT_SIZE * MaxRisk_% = 10000 * .01 = $100 (MaxCashRisk)
-----
MaxCashRisk / (ATR * ATR_SL_MULTIPLIER) = 100 / (3.5 * 1.4) = 20.4 Shares based on Max Cash Risk
-----
(ACCT_SIZE * MaxEquity_%) / STOCK_PRICE = (10000 * .25) / 23.45 = 106.61 Shares based on Max Equity Allocation
The minimum value of each of those options is then used, which in this case would be to purchase 20 shares so as not to exceed the max dollar risk should the stock reach the stop loss target. Likewise, if the ATR were to be much lower, say 0.48 cents, and all else the same, then the strategy would purchase the 106 shares based on Max Equity Allocation because the Max Cash Risk would require 149.25 shares.
MOVING AVERAGE OPTIONS
Select between and change the length & type of up to 5 pairs (10 total) of moving averages
The "Show Cloud-x" option will display a fill color between the "a" and "b" pairs
All moving averages lines can be toggled on/off in the "Style" tab, as well as adjusting their colors.
Visualization features do not affect calculations, meaning you could have all or nothing on the chart and the strategy will still produce results
SIGNAL CHOICES
Choose the fast/shorter length MA and the medium/longer length MA to determine the entry signal
CONFIRMATION OPTIONS
Both of these have customizable values and can be toggled on/off
A candle close over a slower/much longer length moving average
An additional cross-over (cross-under for Shorts) on the MACD indicator using default MACD values. While the MACD indicator is not necessary to have on the chart, it can help to add that for visualization. The calculations will perform whether the indicator is on the chart or not.
EARLY EXIT CRITERIA
Both can be toggled on/off with customizable values
MA Cross Exit will exit the trade early if the select moving averages cross-under (for longs) or cross-over (for shorts), indicating a potential reversal.
Max Bars in Trades will act as a last-resort exit by simply calculating the amount of full bars the trade has been open, and exiting on the opening of the next bar. For example: the default value is 8 bars, so after 8 full bars in the trade, if no other exit has been triggered (Stop Loss, Take Profit, or MA Cross(if enabled)), then the trade will exit at the opening of the 9th bar.
Finally, there is a table displaying the amount of trades taken for each side, and the amount & percent of both early exits. This table can be turned off in the "Style" tab
ADDITIONAL PLOTS
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence):
- The MACD is an optional confirmation indicator for this strategy.
- Plotting the indicator is not necessary for the strategy to work, but it can be helpful to visually see the status and position of the MACD if this feature is enabled in the strategy
- This helps to identify if there is also momentum behind the entry signal

○ Profit: Use the MP condition only for example: Exits will only be allowed when the profit of the position exceeds the condition of the MP parameter
█ POSITION INVESTMENT
Determine the percentage of your trading budget you would like to use in each position based on the strategy's profit or loss.
• LINVB - Loss Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is in a loss.
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• LINV% - Loss Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 10% in loss, and a initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 50%, your investment will be 50% of $90, $45.
• PINVB - Profit Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is in profit.
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• PINV% - Profit Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 10% in profit, and an initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 100%, your investment will be 100% of $110, $110.
• XINVB - Custom Profit Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is above a custom profit threshold (XT).
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• XINV% - Custom Profit Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 100% in profit, exceeding the XT threshold of 50%, and an initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 50%, your investment will be 50% of $200, $100.
• XT% - Custom Profit Threshold: Determine how much profit triggers these custom profit investment settings.
• ELIB% - Entry Long Investment Base: Following previous settings, you can further restrict the investment according to the long trading direction.
○ For instance, if the previous calculation resulted in $45 to be used as an investment, and you've set the ELIB% to 50%, your long position will use 50% of $45, which is $22.5.
• ESIB% - Entry Short Investment Base: Following previous settings, you can further restrict the investment according to the short trading direction.
○ For example, if the previous calculation resulted in $45 to be used as an investment, and you've set the ESIB% to 50%, your short position will use 50% of $45, which is $22.5.
• RISK% - Risk Percentage:
○ Determine how much of the calculated position investment is at risk when the stop-loss is hit.
- For example, 1% of $45 represents a maximum loss of $0.45.
○ Risk percentage works together with the stop loss and the max leverage.
• MXLVG - Maximum Leverage:
○ Investigate the trading rules for your trading pair and use the maximum allowed amount of leverage.
○ To determine the number of contracts to be bought or sold, considering the stop loss and the specified risk percentage, the maximum leverage available will constrain the amount of leverage utilized to ensure that the maximum risk threshold is not exceeded. For instance, suppose the stop loss is set at 1%, and the risk percentage is defined as 10%. Initially, the calculated leverage to be used would be 10. However, if there is a maximum leverage cap set at 5, it would constrain the calculated leverage of 10 to adhere to the maximum limit of 5.
█ EXIT STOP LOSS
Determine the Stop Loss price based on your selected configuration.
As the stop loss is an integral part of the ordered contracts calculation used in conjunction with the Risk and Max leverage, you'll always need to provide a stop loss price.
• SLLB - Stop Loss Long Base: Choose a stop loss mode for calculating stop loss prices in long positions.
○ Risk: Determines the price using the Risk parameter (RISK%) and maximum leverage (MXLVG). In this case, SLLB% will not have any impact.
○ Price Entry + Offset: Calculates the stop loss price based on a offset percentage (SLLB%) from the entry price of the position.
○ Source: Computes the stop loss price based on an external indicator defined in SLLSRC.
- If this results in an invalid price, the calculation will revert to using the price entry + offset.
○ Source + Offset: Determines the stop loss price based on a positive or negative offset percentage (SLLB%) from an external indicator defined in SLLSRC.
- If this results in an invalid price, the calculation will fall back to using the price entry + offset.

█ EXIT TAKE PROFIT
Determine the Take Profit price based on your selected configuration.
• TPLB - Take Profit Long Base: Choose a take profit mode for calculating take profit prices in long positions.
○ Reward: Determines the take profit price using the Risk parameter (RISK%) and the calculated Stop Loss price and the set reward percentage (TPLB%).
- For example: Risk 1%, Calculated Stop loss price: $90, Entry price: $100, Reward (TPLB%): 2%, will result in a take profit price on $120.
○ Price Entry + Offset: Calculates the take profit price based on a offset percentage (TPLB%) from the entry price of the position.
- For example: Entry price: $100, Offset (TPLB%): 2%, will result in a take profit price on $102.
○ Source: Computes the take profit price based on an external input from another indicator defined in TPLSRC.
- If this results in an invalid price, the calculation will revert to using the price entry + offset.
○ Source + Offset: Determines the take profit price based on a positive or negative offset percentage (TPLB%) from an external indicator inpuy defined in TPLSRC.
- If this results in an invalid price, the calculation will fall back to using the price entry + offset.
• TPLB% - Take Profit Long Base Percentage: Define an offset percentage that will be applied in the price entry + offset and source + offset take profit modes.
• TPLSRC - Take Profit Long Source: Choose to connect an external indicator as the source for take profit (of course only those which provide price values eg: bollinger bands, moving averages... but not oscillators).
• TPLT - Take Profit Long Trailing:
○ Fixed: The initial take profit will be kept and no trailing take profit will be applied.
○ Trail Profit: Takes into account all settings defined in TPLB and TPLB% and recalculates them with each candle.
- If an applicable take profit is computed, it replaces the existing take profit. In this mode TPLT% will be disregarded.
○ Trail Profit till BE: Similar to trailing profit mode, but it stops trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Profit from BE: Similar to trailing profit mode, but it starts trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Price: Computes the trailing take profit price based on an offset percentage (TPLT%) from the closing price of the current candle.
- If an applicable take profit price is calculated, it will be set as the new take profit price.
○ Trail Price till BE: Similar to the Trail Price mode, but it stops trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Price from BE: Similar to Trail Price mode, but it starts trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Incr: Adapts the trailing take profit price based on the offset percentage (TPLT%). Each price change against your position will incrementally adapt the trailing take profit with TPLT%.
○ Trail Incr till BE: Similar to the Trail Incr mode, but it stops trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
• TPLT% - Take Profit Long Trailing Percentage: This percentage serves as an offset or increment depending on your chosen trailing mode.

█ ENTRY INVESTMENT DISTRIBUTION
Based on your position investment calculation you can distribute the position investment accross the initial opening trade of the position (SIG%) or the follow up Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA%) or Break Out (BRO%) trades.
For example: SIG%: 10%, DCA%: 45%, BRO%: 45% and the calculated Position Investment is $100, then the initial trade will receive $10, DCA will receive $45, and BRO will receive $45 to work with. Disable BRO and or DCA by setting them to 0%. Keep in mind that the sum of SIG, BRO and DCA may not exceed 100%.
• SIG% - Initial order investment percentage based on the signal: The percentage of the position investment distributed over normal trades.
• DCA% - Dollar Cost Averaging investment percentage: The percentage of the position investment distributed to DCA trades.
• BRO% - Break Out investment percentage: The percentage of the position investment distributed to BRO trades.
█ ENTRY DCA
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) is a risk mitigation strategy where the allocated DCA% budget from the Entry Investment Distribution is distributed among x levels (DCA#) based on calculated prices (DPLM) and order sizes (DOSM), when prices move against your position.
• DCA# - Maximum DCA levels: Set the maximum number of DCA levels.
• DPLM - DCA Price Level Mode: Choose a price level mode that determines at which prices the additional purchases are distributed:
○ Linear: Entry prices are evenly spaced at regular intervals.
○ QuadIn: Entry prices are front-loaded, with more at the beginning and fewer later.
○ QuadOut: Entry prices are back-loaded, with fewer at the beginning and more later.
○ QuadInOut: Entry prices start front-loaded, then become back-loaded.
○ CubicIn: Similar to QuadIn but with a smoother front-loaded distribution.
○ CubicOut: Similar to QuadOut but with a smoother back-loaded distribution.
○ ExpoIn: Entry prices are exponentially increasing, starting small and growing.
○ ExpoOut: Entry prices are exponentially decreasing, starting large and reducing.
○ ExpoInOut: Entry prices start exponentially increasing, then decrease exponentially.
• DOSM - DCA Order Size Mode: Choose a DCA budget distribution mode for order sizes:
○ Linear: Order sizes are evenly spaced at regular intervals.
○ QuadIn: Order sizes are front-loaded, with larger orders at the beginning and smaller ones later.
○ QuadOut: Order sizes are back-loaded, with smaller orders at the beginning and larger ones later.
○ QuadInOut: Order sizes start front-loaded and transition to back-loaded.
○ CubicIn: Similar to QuadIn but with a smoother front-loaded distribution of order sizes.
○ CubicOut: Similar to QuadOut but with a smoother back-loaded distribution of order sizes.
○ ExpoIn: Order sizes exponentially increase, starting small and growing.
○ ExpoOut: Order sizes exponentially decrease, starting large and reducing.
○ ExpoInOut: Order sizes start exponentially increasing, then decrease exponentially.
For a visual representation of the price or order size distribution modes, refer to online easing curves.
█ ENTRY BRO
BRO (Break Out) is a risk mitigation strategy where the allocated BRO% budget from the Entry Investment Distribution is distributed among x levels (BRO#) based on calculated prices (BPLM) and order sizes (BOSM), when prices move in favor of your position.
• BRO# - Maximum BRO levels: Set the maximum number of BRO levels.
• BPLM - BRO Price Level Mode: Choose a price level mode that determines at which prices the additional purchases are distributed:
○ Distribution easing modes work similar as the DCA easing modes.
• BOSM - BRO Order Size Mode: Choose a BRO budget distribution mode for order sizes:
○ Distribution easing modes work similar as the DCA easing modes.
█ ORDER SETTINGS

█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with signals and a signal filter
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, monitor, or strategy .
Let's connect the Strategy - Plus to a connectable signal filter and connectable indicators :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load MA - Plus / Connectable
• Load Signal filter - Plus / Connectable
• Load Strategy - Plus / Connectable
2. Signal Filter Plus: Connect the MA - Plus to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the five input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→, 4→, 5→) and choose : MA - Plus / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter settings if needed
• The default filter mode for the trading direction is SWING, and is compatible with the default settings in the strategy and indicators.
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold is 'ABOVE' Threshold 1 (TH1) and Threshold 2 (TH2), both set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score is 1 point above the threshold.
5. Strategy Plus: Connect one of the strategy plus inputs to the signal filters signal connector in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter - Plus: Signal connector
6. Strateg Plus: Enable filter compatible directions
• As the default setting of the filter is SWING, we should also set the SM (Strategy mode) to SWING.
7. Strateg Plus: You're ready to start optimizing
• Dive into all parameters and start optimizing your backtesting results.
█ BENEFITS
• Adaptable Modular Design: Arrange indicators in diverse structures via direct or daisy chaining, allowing tailored configurations to align with your analysis approach.
• Streamlined Backtesting: Simplify the iterative process of testing and adjusting combinations, facilitating a smoother exploration of potential setups.
• Intuitive Interface: Navigate TradingView with added ease. Integrate desired indicators, adjust settings, and establish alerts without delving into complex code.
• Signal Weight Precision: Leverage granular weight allocation among signals, offering a deeper layer of customization in strategy formulation.
• Advanced Signal Filtering: Define entry and exit conditions with more clarity, granting an added layer of strategy precision.
• Clear Visual Feedback: Distinct visual signals and cues enhance the readability of charts, promoting informed decision-making.
• Standardized Defaults: Indicators are equipped with universally recognized preset settings, ensuring consistency in initial setups across different types like momentum or volatility.
• Reliability: Our indicators are meticulously developed to prevent repainting. We strictly adhere to TradingView's coding conventions, ensuring our code is both performant and clean.
█ COMPATIBLE INDICATORS
Each indicator that incorporates our open-source 'azLibConnector' library and adheres to our conventions can be effortlessly integrated and used as detailed above.
For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES, CLARIFICATIONS AND TIPS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.
• Point systems: The azLibConnector provides 500 points for each direction (EL: Enter long, XL: Exit long, ES: Enter short, XS: Exit short) Remember this cap when devising a point structure.
• Flow misconfiguration: In daisy chains the first indicator should always have a flow (⌥) setting of 'indicator only' while other indicator should have a flow (⌥) setting of 'both'.
• Hide attributes: As connectable indicators send through quite some information you'll notice all the arguments are taking up some screenwidth and cause some visual clutter. You can disable arguments in Chart Settings / Status line.
• Layout and abbreviations: To maintain a consistent structure, we use abbreviations for each input. While this may initially seem complex, you'll quickly become familiar with them. Each abbreviation is also explained in the inline tooltips.
• Inputs: Connecting a connectable indicator directly to the strategy delivers the raw signal without a weight threshold, meaning every signal will trigger a trade.
• Layout and Abbreviations: Abbreviations streamline structure and input identification. Although they may seem complex initially, inline tooltips provide explanations, facilitating quick acclimatization.
• Total Trade Limit Error & Date-Time Filter: For deep backtesting, be mindful of the total trade limit. Utilize the date-time filter to narrow the test scope and avoid TradingView order limits.
• Calculation Timeout: Encounter a timeout? Adjust any parameter slightly to restart the calculation process.
• Message Character Limit: To stay within message character limits, consider turning off certain features or setting some to 'once'.
• Direct Indicator-to-Strategy Connection: When connecting an indicator directly to a strategy without thresholds, the strategy will default to long if weights are equally assigned.
• Pyramid Enabling with DCA and BRO: Activate pyramid orders, enabling you to optimize your strategy during Dollar Cost Averaging and Break Out trades.
• Recalculate & Fill Orders Properties: Adjusting these default settings in strategy properties tab may lead to unexpected behavior when backtesting. Approach with caution.
• Optimized for Crypto: Our indicators have been optimized and tested primarily on cryptocurrency markets. Results in other markets may vary.
• Inline Tooltips Documentation: Detailed documentation and guidance are available via inline tooltips for immediate assistance.
• Strategy Settings Margin: Set margin to 1 to be able to apply leverage.
• Styling Panel: Explore the styling panel to disable labels or any other visual cues to reduce clutter on busy charts, enhancing visual clarity and personalization.
• Applying Leverage on Spot Markets: Ensure that maximum leverage on spot markets is configured to 1.
• Unrealistic Order Sizes: Verify that the order book can accommodate your backtested order sizes.

Captain Backtest Model [TFO]Created by @imjesstwoone and @mickey1984, this trade model attempts to capture the expansion from the 10:00-14:00 EST 4h candle using just 3 simple steps. All of the information presented in this description has been outlined by its creators, all I did was translate it to Pine Script. All core settings of the trade model may be edited so that users can test several variations, however this description will cover its default, intended behavior using NQ 5m as an example.
Step 1 is to identify our Price Range. In this case, we are concerned with the highest high and the lowest low created from 6:00-10:00 EST.
Step 2 is to wait for either the high or low of said range to be taken out. Whichever side gets taken first determines the long/short bias for the remainder of the Trade Window (i.e. if price takes the range high, bias is long, and vice versa). Bias must be determined by 11:15 EST, otherwise no trades will be taken. This filter is intended to weed out "choppy" trading days.
Step 3 is to wait for a retracement and enter with a close through the previous candle's high (if long biased) or low (if short biased). There are a couple toggleable criteria that we use to define a retracement; one is checking for opposite close candles that indicate a pullback; another is checking if price took the previous candle's low (if long biased) or high (if short biased).
This trade model was initially tested for index futures, particularly ES and NQ, using a 5m chart, however this indicator allows us to backtest any symbol on any timeframe. Creators @imjesstwoone and @mickey1984 specified a 5 point stop loss on ES and a 25 point stop loss on NQ with their testing.
I've personally found some success in backtesting NQ 5m using a 25 point stop loss and 75 point profit target (3:1 R). Enabling the Use Fixed R:R parameter will ensure that these stops and targets are utilized, otherwise it will enter and hold the position until the close of the Trade Window.
twisted SMA strategy [4h] Hello
I would like to introduce a very simple strategy that uses a combination of 3 simple moving averages ( SMA 4 , SMA 9 , SMA 18 )
this is a classic combination showing the most probable trend directions
Crosses were marked on the basis of the color of the candles (bulish cross - blue / bearish cross - maroon)
ma 100 was used to determine the main trend, which is one of the most popular 4-hour candles
We define main trend while price crosses SMA100 ( for bullish trend I use green candle color )
The long position strategy was created in combination of 3 moving averages with Kaufman's adaptive moving average by alexgrover
The strategy is very accurate and is easy to use indicators
the strategy uses only Buy (Long) signals in a combination of crossovers of the SMA 4, SMA 9, SMA 18 and the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average.
As a signal to close a long position, only the opposite signal of the intersection of 3 different moving averages is used
the current strategy is recommended for higher time zones (4h +) due to the strength of the closing candles, which translates into signal strength
works fascinatingly well for long-term bullish market assets (for example 4h Apple, Tesla charts)
Enjoy and trade safe ;)
Seer's HutThis is a strategy based on Exponential Moving Averages or Volume Weighted Moving Averages against Adaptive fib resistance / support level and profit percentage which can be definetly defined by user and targeting small profits(profits will be raised by leverages).
In this strategy, there are predefined values which are collected one by one with statistical background and backtests. This gives an advantage to see which ratios are working better for each symbol. Also this statistics are re-evaluated monthly and if there is a need they are going to be changed with the help of libraries. Also IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE IN DAILY INTERVAL GRAPHICS!!!!
When we deep dive to strategy, it is based on profit percentages. it is similar to the MOST system. MOST only changes the way with default value of %2. But this hardcoded strategy is not working well with each Symbol.
So this is the point where DC and ADR Statistics are involved.
For Ex. while BTC is suits well with %2, it does not do wonders for RSR or RUNE which is 4-5% for each.
There is 3 options for setting the statistical usage of this indicator.
1. Auto calculated based on 1000 days of ADR and DC
imgur.com
2. Using Library where statistical values are stored.
imgur.com
3. User-defined values used. Yeah you read it right. Fully on-demand changes are supported. Which gives freedom to users for setup their own Adaptive FIB and Profit Percentages.
imgur.com
Based on this 3 options, TP and SL points are calculated on bar closures. Strategy Orders are also shown / raised with the closures.
Ok, system calculates these values but how to read / use them. what is this strategy based on ?
This strategy is mostly looking for minimizing the LOSS in case of any stop. So because of this, in each TP, system gives order signal to close half of the remaining open position.
There are 7 type of orders
OL : Open Long (Close Short and Open Long if in position)
CL 50 : Close Long - %50 of Open Position
CL 100 : Close Long - Close all position
OS : Open Short (Close Long and Open Short if in position)
CL 50 : Close Short - %50 of Open Position
CL 100 : Close Short - Close all position
TP5 : Highest TP reached. Close all position.
Script checks cross of EMA / VWMA and adFib to decide open a position. In reversal / crosses, adFib line had been set to defined Fib. Percentage (FP) level.
For creating the TP points, Profit Percentage (PP) parameter had been used which I briefly introduce at the beginning with the options.
One important topic about this strategy, it is not stacking / pyramiding the positions. Which means, it always calculate one way position. For example we are in the long position after OL signal.
We reached TP values and take profits. Later on due to FP crossing EMA, OS order signal given. This means you have to close all long position and open short position.
But beware. These calculated points are based on given values or calculated regarding to average ADR / DC ratings. For supporting strategy, several methods also had been included in the options.
imgur.com
These are:
1. MA plotting (Optional 4 EMA, 1WMA) - checking for Golden and Death Cross
2. Bollinger Bands (Length 25 and Multiplier 2.5 set as default. Used in correlation with TEMA)
3. Kama 2 / Kama 5 - Crossing speaks of Trend way
4. TEMA (TEMA 50, VWMA 25 calculations and plotting. Used for TEMA 50 / VWMA 25 / SMA 25 cross checks for weakening or strengthening trend analysis)
5. ATR plotting
6. Chandelier Exit plotting (Widely used for calculating Stop levels in market)
7. PSAR (Widely used for indicating trend reversal)
Also for the ease of use, if the users does not want to plot any values on the graph and just want to see the values there is couple of tables also included.
1. EMA info
2. KAMA info
3. Order info
4. TP/SL info
imgur.com
Some important notes:
1. To minimize the stop just after the order opening candle in volatile grounds, system prevents to raise new order signals if there is a signal already raised in last 4 candle.
2. if system reach and give close order in one of the TP points (For Ex TP1.), then index goes down and goes up again same TP (above TP1 in scenario) after 4 candle, system gives a close order signal again in the same TP.
3. There is a Profit Factor value had been shown at Order Info table. This information shows how profitable is the setup regarding to given FP and PP values.
In general market conditions, A Profit Factor above 1.50 is considered good enough and above 2.0 it is considered ideal. A strategy with profit factor less than 1.20 suggests too bigger a risk taken for making money.
In some cases automatic ADR and DC calculations are not good enough. so if you want to find a good Profit Factor value, you can change the system automatic calculation to manual value entering and you can see the results directly with in this field.

TrendShift Pro v1.1TrendShift uses a unique series of moving average calculations to signal shifts in trend direction that goes above and beyond what is possible with common moving average trading techniques like simple moving average crosses.
What makes TrendShift different :
Unique moving average calculations - The unique calculations allow signals of shifts in trend direction to occur quickly but also avoid the chop and frequent flipflops that are common with standard moving average trading technique.
Trading filtering - A clear method of trade confirmation and additional trade filtering using popular indicators like the Ichimoku Cloud and Parabolic SAR which work synergistically with the unique moving average calculations and add additional layers of caution and refinement to filter out unreliable signals.
Dynamic trailing stoploss – A dynamically adjusted fractal stop which provides a unique and effective method of managing risk while capturing the duration of a trending move.

Usage :
The indicator is optimized for the 4 hour timeframe. A green bullish or red bearish signal candle indicates there has been a meaningful shift towards the respective trend direction. When a long/short entry signal is given, that means the signal candle has been confirmed and a trade can be entered accordingly.
Once a signal has been generated, a dynamically adjust stoploss will appear and self-adjust every 24-48 hours. Your stoploss should be trailed accordingly.

US Market Balance of Power Heikin Ashi Swing StrategyThis is a swing strategy, using the power of correlation, mainly designed for an investment approach for the US Market.
It uses the original OBV formula, which has been adapted to monthly heikin ashi candles values, which are taken from the correlated asset, in this case we are using QQQ chart for testing, but internally we are using the logic from SPY chart for calculations.
Once we that value, we make a moving average of it with the length of half of a year to have an idea about the overall price trend during that period of time.
After that, we are going to apply a percentile formula for the OBV value, and we are going to look for the percentile near 100th rank of the entire history of that data.
Finally once we have the top percentile values, we are going to create different formulas for long and short entries:
Short Entry/ Long exit = Current top percentile is higher than the previous top percentile value
Long Entry/ Short Exit = Current obv value is negative and the top percentile is smaller than the previous one or we are near the top values for the OBV oscillators ( crossing upwards previous candle/downwards current candle)
The strategy has been tested using 25% of the entire initial capital available in order to have an idea about the compound effect over the entire history of time which was selected.
From the test which can determine, that on average when we have strong bullish trends, the initial buy n hold strategy outperforms us, however the strategy is definitely a winner when there are side market/ bearish periods of time since it will help cut losses during these periods.
If you have any questions, please let me know !
EMA + Williams Fractal Pullback [Trading Nerd]EMA Pullback Strategy with Williams Fractal Indicator
Backtesting script that searches for trends (long and short) and a following pullback into the EMAs. It enters on the first Williams Fractal in the desired direction. I found the Strategy on YouTube as a "M1 Scalping Strategy for Bitcoin".
Including fees the strategy is not profitalbe in lower timeframes (at least if not optimized). But it seems to work on higher timeframes as a swing traiding strategy.
Strategy Conditions
Longs:
EMA 1 > EMA 2 and EMA 2 > EMA 3
Number of need to be above the EMA 1
Then a Pullback into the EMAs is required
Enter on the first bullish Williams Fractal
Signal is canceled if the price closes below the EMA 3
Shorts:
EMA 1 < EMA 2 and EMA 2 < EMA 3
Number of need to be below the EMA 1
Then a Pullback into the EMAs is required
Enter on the first bearish Williams Fractal
Singal is canceled if the price closes above the EMA 3
Take Profit
A Risk Reward Take Profit is possible. If you want to use only a trailing Stop Loss, you can set the Take Profit to 'None'
Stop Loss
The default Stop Loss is EMA. If the Pullback has not reached the EMA 2, the Stop Loss is set to the EMA 2. If the Pullback has reached the EMA 2, the Stop Loss is set to the EMA 3.
Other Stop Loss types are available: ATR, HH/LL
Trailing Stop Loss
Available trailing Stop Loss types: ATR, HH/LL. Best practice is to also set the Stop Loss type to the same value.
The Stop Loss is updated if the value from the latest closed candle is greater/less than the previous value for a long/short trade.
Additional
Time Filter: Only opens trade in the defined Session. Open trades are still being closed outside of the Session.
Start Date/End Date: Limits the backtest for the defined Date Range
Trading Days: Only open Trades on the checked Days
Risk % per Trade: If enabled the Strategy uses X% of the capital (defined in Settings -> Properties -> Initial Capital)
Use Compound Interest: If enabled Capital is recalculated for every trade (initial capital + net Profit)
IMPORTANT: For low Timeframes and Markets with tight SL (like Forex) it requires a lower Margin Percent than default. Go to Settings->Properties and lower the required Long/Short Margin. Otherwise Trades might not be considered because of too less capital/marign. Margins can e.g. set to: 2% (Forex), 10% (Stocks), 20% (Crypto).
