[MV] %B with SMA + Volume Based Colored Bars
Entry Signal when %B Crosses with SMA and this is more meaningful if it supports colored bars.
Black Bar when prices go down and volume is bigger than 150% of its average, that indicates us price action is supported by a strong bearish volume
Blue Bar when prices go up and volume bigger than 150% of its average, that indicates us price action is supported by a strong bullish volume

# Introduction
**Penny Stock Short Signal Pro (PSSP)** is a comprehensive Pine Script v6 indicator specifically engineered for identifying high-probability short-selling opportunities on low-priced, high-volatility stocks. Unlike generic indicators that apply broad technical analysis, PSSP is purpose-built for the unique characteristics of penny stock price action—where parabolic moves, retail FOMO, and violent reversals create predictable patterns for prepared traders.
## Key Features
- **7 Independent Detection Systems** working in concert to identify exhaustion points
- **Composite Signal Engine** that requires multiple confirmations before triggering
- **Real-Time Dashboard** displaying all signal states and market metrics
- **Automatic Risk Management** with dynamic stop-loss and profit target calculations
- **Customizable Sensitivity** for different trading styles (scalping vs. swing)
- **Built-in Alert System** for all major signal types
## Who Is This For?
- **Active Day Traders** looking to capitalize on intraday reversals
- **Short Sellers** who specialize in penny stocks and small caps
- **Momentum Traders** who want to identify when momentum is exhausting
- **Risk-Conscious Traders** who need clear entry/exit levels
---
# Why Short Penny Stocks?
## The Penny Stock Lifecycle
Penny stocks follow a remarkably predictable lifecycle that creates shorting opportunities:
```
PHASE 1: ACCUMULATION
└── Low volume, tight range
└── Smart money quietly building positions
PHASE 2: MARKUP / PROMOTION
└── News catalyst or promotional campaign
└── Volume increases, price begins rising
└── Early momentum traders enter
PHASE 3: DISTRIBUTION (YOUR OPPORTUNITY)
└── Parabolic move attracts retail FOMO buyers
└── Smart money selling into strength
└── Volume climax signals exhaustion
└── ⚠️ PSSP SIGNALS FIRE HERE ⚠️
PHASE 4: DECLINE
└── Support breaks, panic selling
└── Price returns toward origin
└── Short sellers profit
```
## Why Shorts Work on Penny Stocks
1. **No Fundamental Support**: Most penny stocks have no earnings, revenue, or assets to justify elevated prices
2. **Promotional Nature**: Many rallies are driven by promoters who will eventually stop
3. **Retail Exhaustion**: Retail buying power is finite—when it's exhausted, gravity takes over
4. **Float Dynamics**: Low float stocks move fast in both directions
5. **Technical Levels Matter**: VWAP, round numbers, and prior highs become self-fulfilling resistance
---
# The 7 Core Detection Systems
PSSP employs seven independent detection algorithms. Each identifies a specific type of exhaustion or reversal signal. When multiple systems fire simultaneously, the probability of a successful short dramatically increases.
---
## 1. PARABOLIC EXHAUSTION DETECTOR
### What It Detects
Identifies when price has moved too far, too fast and is likely to reverse. This system looks for the classic "blow-off top" pattern common in penny stock runners.
### Technical Logic
```
Parabolic Signal = TRUE when:
├── Consecutive green candles ≥ threshold (default: 3)
├── AND price extension from VWAP ≥ threshold ATRs (default: 1.5)
└── OR shooting star / upper wick rejection pattern forms
```
### Visual Representation
```
╱╲ ← Shooting star / upper wick
╱ ╲ (Parabolic exhaustion)
╱
╱
╱
══════════════ VWAP
╱
╱
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
Penny stocks are notorious for parabolic moves driven by retail FOMO. When everyone who wants to buy has bought, there's no one left to push prices higher. The shooting star pattern shows that sellers are already stepping in at higher prices.
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Lookback Period | 10 | 3-30 | Bars to analyze for pattern |
| Extension Threshold | 1.5 ATR | 0.5-5.0 | How far above VWAP is "parabolic" |
| Consecutive Green Bars | 3 | 2-10 | Minimum green bars for exhaustion |
---
## 2. VWAP REJECTION SYSTEM
### What It Detects
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the single most important level for institutional traders. This system identifies when price tests above VWAP and gets rejected back below—a powerful short signal.
### Technical Logic
```
VWAP Rejection = TRUE when:
├── Candle high pierces above VWAP
├── AND candle closes below VWAP
├── AND candle is bearish (close < open)
└── AND rejection distance is within sensitivity threshold
```
### Visual Representation
```
High ──→ ╱╲
╱ ╲
VWAP ════════╱════╲═══════════
Close ←── Rejection
```
### Extended VWAP Signals
The system also tracks VWAP standard deviation bands. Rejection from the upper band (2 standard deviations above VWAP) is an even stronger signal.
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Algorithms and institutions use VWAP as their benchmark
- Failed attempts to reclaim VWAP often lead to waterfall selling
- VWAP acts as a "magnet" that price tends to revert toward
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Rejection Sensitivity | 0.5 ATR | 0.1-2.0 | How close to VWAP for valid rejection |
| Show VWAP Line | True | - | Display VWAP on chart |
| Show VWAP Bands | True | - | Display standard deviation bands |
| Band Multiplier | 2.0 | 0.5-4.0 | Standard deviations for bands |
---
## 3. VOLUME CLIMAX DETECTOR
### What It Detects
Identifies "blow-off tops" where extreme volume accompanies a price spike. This often marks the exact top as it represents maximum retail participation—after which buying power is exhausted.
### Technical Logic
```
Volume Climax = TRUE when:
├── Current volume ≥ (Average volume × Climax Multiple)
├── AND one of:
│ ├── Selling into the high (upper wick > lower wick on green bar)
│ └── OR post-climax weakness (red bar following climax bar)
```
### Visual Representation
```

╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱
Volume:
▂▃▅▇██▇▅▃▂▁
↑
Volume Climax (3x+ average)
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Retail traders pile in at the top, creating volume spikes
- Market makers and smart money use this liquidity to exit
- Once the volume spike passes, there's no fuel left for higher prices
- The "smart money selling into dumb money buying" creates the top
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Volume MA Length | 20 | 5-50 | Period for average volume calculation |
| Climax Volume Multiple | 3.0x | 1.5-10.0 | Multiple of average for "climax" |
| Show Volume Bars | True | - | Visual volume representation |
---
## 4. RSI DIVERGENCE ANALYZER
### What It Detects
Bearish divergence occurs when price makes higher highs but RSI (momentum) makes lower highs. This indicates that momentum is weakening even as price pushes higher—a warning of imminent reversal.
### Technical Logic
```
Bearish Divergence = TRUE when:
├── RSI is in overbought territory (> threshold)
├── AND RSI is declining (current < previous < prior)
└── Indicates momentum exhaustion before price catches up
```
### Visual Representation
```
Price: /\ /\
/ \ / \ ← Higher high
/ \/
/
/
RSI: /\
/ \ /\
/ \/ \ ← Lower high (DIVERGENCE)
/ \
════════════════════ Overbought (70)
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Penny stocks often push to new highs on weaker and weaker momentum
- Divergence signals that fewer buyers are participating at each new high
- Eventually, the lack of buying pressure leads to collapse
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| RSI Length | 14 | 5-30 | Standard RSI calculation period |
| Overbought Level | 70 | 60-90 | RSI level considered overbought |
| Divergence Lookback | 14 | 5-30 | Bars to look back for swing highs |
---
## 5. KEY LEVEL REJECTION TRACKER
### What It Detects
Identifies rejections from significant price levels where shorts are likely to be concentrated: High of Day (HOD), premarket highs, and psychological levels (whole and half dollars).
### Technical Logic
```
Level Rejection = TRUE when:
├── Price touches key level (within 0.2% tolerance)
├── AND candle is bearish (close < open)
├── AND close is in lower portion of candle range
│
├── Key Levels Tracked:
│ ├── High of Day (HOD)
│ ├── Premarket High
│ └── Psychological levels ($1.00, $1.50, $2.00, etc.)
```
### Visual Representation
```
HOD ─────────────────────────────────
╱╲ ← Rejection
╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱
─────────────────────────────────
PM High ─────────────────────────────
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- **HOD**: The high of day is where the most traders are trapped long. Failure to break HOD often triggers stop-loss cascades
- **Premarket High**: Represents overnight enthusiasm; failure to exceed often means the "news" is priced in
- **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers ($1, $2, $5) attract orders and act as natural resistance
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Track HOD Rejection | True | - | Monitor high of day |
| Track Premarket High | True | - | Monitor premarket resistance |
| Track Psychological Levels | True | - | Monitor round numbers |
---
## 6. FAILED BREAKOUT DETECTOR
### What It Detects
Identifies "bull traps" where price breaks above resistance but immediately fails and closes back below. This traps breakout buyers and often leads to accelerated selling.
### Technical Logic
```
Failed Breakout = TRUE when:
├── Price breaks above recent high (lookback period)
├── AND one of:
│ ├── Same bar closes below the breakout level
│ └── OR following bars show consecutive red candles
```
### Visual Representation
```
╱╲
╱ ╲ ← False breakout
Recent High ══╱════╲════════════════
╱ ╲
╱ ╲
╱ ╲ ← Trapped longs panic sell
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- Breakout traders enter on the break, providing exit liquidity for smart money
- When the breakout fails, these traders become trapped and must exit
- Their forced selling accelerates the decline
- Penny stocks have thin order books, making failed breakouts especially violent
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Breakout Lookback | 5 | 2-15 | Bars to define "recent high" |
| Confirmation Bars | 2 | 1-5 | Bars to confirm failure |
---
## 7. MOVING AVERAGE BREAKDOWN SYSTEM
### What It Detects
Monitors exponential moving averages (EMAs) for bearish crossovers and price rejections. EMA crosses often signal trend changes, while rejections from EMAs indicate resistance.
### Technical Logic
```
MA Breakdown = TRUE when:
├── Bearish EMA cross (fast crosses below slow)
└── OR EMA rejection (price tests EMA from below and fails)
```
### Visual Representation
```
╱╲ ← Rejection from EMA
╱ ╲
EMA 9 ═══════════╱════╲═══════════
╲
EMA 20 ═══════════════════╲════════
╲
Bearish cross ↓
```
### Why It Works on Penny Stocks
- EMAs smooth out the noise and show underlying trend direction
- When fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, it signals momentum shift
- Rejected attempts to reclaim EMAs show sellers are in control
### Key Settings
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| Fast EMA | 9 | 3-20 | Short-term trend |
| Slow EMA | 20 | 10-50 | Medium-term trend |
| Show EMAs | True | - | Display on chart |

# Risk Management
## Position Sizing Formula
```
Position Size = (Account Risk %) / (Stop Loss %)
Example:
- Account: $25,000
- Risk per trade: 1% = $250
- Entry: $2.00
- Stop: $2.20 (10% stop)
- Position Size: $250 / 10% = $2,500 worth
- Shares: $2,500 / $2.00 = 1,250 shares
```
## Risk Rules
### The 1% Rule
Never risk more than 1% of your account on any single trade. For a $25,000 account, max risk = $250.
### The 2x Stop Rule
If your stop gets hit twice on the same stock, stop trading it for the day. The pattern isn't working.
### The Daily Loss Limit
Set a maximum daily loss (e.g., 3% of account). Stop trading if hit.
### The Size-Down Rule
After a losing trade, reduce your next position size by 50%. Rebuild after a winner.
## Short-Specific Risks
### The Short Squeeze
- Penny stocks can squeeze violently
- ALWAYS use stops
- Never "hope" a position comes back
- Size appropriately for volatility
### The Hard-to-Borrow
- Check borrow availability before trading
- High borrow fees eat into profits
- Some stocks become HTB mid-trade
### The Halt Risk
- Penny stocks can halt on volatility
- Position size for worst-case halt against you
- Halts can open significantly higher

# Best Practices
## DO's
✅ **Wait for multiple signals** - Single signals have lower accuracy
✅ **Trade with the trend** - Short when daily trend is down
✅ **Use the dashboard** - Check signal count before entering
✅ **Respect stops** - The indicator calculates them for a reason
✅ **Size appropriately** - Penny stocks are volatile; position small
✅ **Trade liquid stocks** - Volume ≥ 500K daily average
✅ **Know the catalyst** - Understand why the stock is moving
✅ **Take partial profits** - Secure gains at T1
✅ **Journal your trades** - Track what works and what doesn't
✅ **Time your entries** - Best shorts often come 10:30-11:30 AM
## DON'Ts
❌ **Don't short strong stocks** - If it won't go down, don't force it
❌ **Don't fight the tape** - A stock going up can keep going up
❌ **Don't average up on losers** - Adding to losing shorts is dangerous
❌ **Don't ignore the dashboard** - It exists to help you
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Quality over quantity
❌ **Don't short into news** - Wait for the reaction first
❌ **Don't trade the first 5 minutes** - Too chaotic for reliable signals
❌ **Don't hold overnight** - Penny stock gaps can destroy accounts
❌ **Don't trade without stops** - Ever.
❌ **Don't trade on tilt** - After losses, take a break
## Optimal Trading Windows
| Time (ET) | Quality | Notes |
|-----------|---------|-------|
| 9:30-9:35 | ⭐ | Too volatile, avoid |
| 9:35-10:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Best shorts, morning runners exhaust |

# Troubleshooting
## Common Issues
### "Signals aren't appearing"
- Check that the relevant system is enabled in settings
- Ensure minimum signals threshold isn't too high
- Verify the stock has sufficient volume for calculations
### "Too many false signals"
- Increase minimum signals threshold
- Use more conservative settings (see Settings section)
- Focus on stocks with cleaner price action
### "Dashboard not showing"
- Ensure "Show Signal Dashboard" is enabled
- Check that your chart has enough space
- Try a different dashboard position
### "VWAP line is missing"
- VWAP requires intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.)
- VWAP resets daily; won't show on daily+ charts
- Ensure "Show VWAP Line" is enabled
### "Stop loss seems too tight/wide"
- Adjust Stop ATR Multiple in Risk Management settings
- Lower multiple = tighter stop
- Higher multiple = wider stop
### "Alerts not triggering"
- Verify alert is set to the correct indicator
- Check that alert hasn't expired
- Ensure notification settings are configured in TradingView
## Performance Optimization
If the indicator is slow:
1. Reduce the number of visual elements shown

SMA Reversal Sequential MTF - FinalSMA Reversal Sequential MTF - Final Edition
Here is the direct English translation of the description, maintaining the professional and factual tone without excessive ornamentation.
SMA Reversal Sequential MTF - Final Edition
1. Overview
This script is the final edition of "SMA Reversal Sequential MTF," featuring a proprietary logic that identifies market pivot points based on the structural changes of Simple Moving Averages (SMA). It integrates multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis covering from 1-minute to monthly scales, visualizing trend status, synchronization, and consolidations (squeezes) directly on the chart.
2. Core Logic
SMA Reversal Logic: Identifies points where the SMA shifts in a "V-shape" or "Inverted V-shape" based on the positional relationship of the three most recent MA points. The algorithm maintains strictly precise calculations consistent since the initial version.
Breakout Detection: Displays a "BREAK" label when the price closes beyond the most recent high or low established by a pivot point.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): Projects signals from higher timeframes (e.g., 1D, 4H, 1H) onto the current chart.
3. Input Settings
The settings menu is configured with bilingual labels (Japanese and English).
■ Main Settings
Use Short Period Settings (5, 3, 7)
OFF (Default): SMA 20, Offset 6, Lookback 20
ON: SMA 5, Offset 3, Lookback 7
■ Timeframe Visibility
Show Timeframes (1M to 1m)
Individually toggle the visibility of each timeframe. The settings are organized in descending order from higher to lower timeframes.
Hide Lower Timeframes
When ON, automatically hides signals from timeframes lower than the one currently displayed on the chart.
■ Drawing Options
Show Only Current TF Labels
Hides MTF labels and displays only the pivot points corresponding to the current chart timeframe.
Show Trendlines & Channels
Automatically plots lines connecting recent highs/lows and their parallel channels for the current timeframe.
Show Sequential Labels

Show Break Lines
Displays horizontal lines at un-breached highs/lows along with breakout labels.
■ Additional Alert Settings
Alert 1: 3-TF Sync
Triggers when the current timeframe and the two immediate higher timeframes align in the same trend direction.
Alert 2: 4-TF Sync
Triggers when four timeframes synchronize in the same trend direction.
Alert 3: Squeeze (Green ●)
Detects "Triangle Squeezes" (lower highs and higher lows) and displays a "●" on the chart with a notification.
4. Dashboard
The dashboard in the top-right corner displays the real-time trend status of five major timeframes (1D, 4H, 1H, 15M, 5M).
Blue: Bullish (Price has broken the recent high)
Red: Bearish (Price has broken the recent low)
Gray: Neutral
5. Trading Application
Market Context: Identify directional bias when dashboard colors align.
Entry Alignment: Utilize "Sync Alerts" on lower timeframes as signals when they align with the higher timeframe trend.
Volatility Contraction: The appearance of a green "●" (Squeeze) indicates energy consolidation, suggesting a potential breakout.

15:50 AnticipeThis indicator is designed to anticipate the market behavior around a specific time of day (by default 15:50) by evaluating market conditions one minute before the target candle.
It is primarily intended for intraday trading on 1-minute charts, especially on index futures such as NQ / MNQ.
The logic combines trend, volatility compression, momentum, volume, and VWAP positioning, using a scoring system to determine whether a LONG, SHORT, or NEUTRAL bias is statistically favored before the target candle prints.
Core Concept
At the anticipation candle (15:49 by default), the indicator evaluates multiple technical conditions.
Each condition adds points to a LONG score or SHORT score.
If one side reaches the required score threshold and is stronger than the opposite side, a persistent signal is generated and held through the 15:50 candle.
The 15:50 candle is highlighted in yellow for visual reference.
Indicators Used
The system combines:
• Bollinger Bands to detect volatility compression
• EMA 9 / EMA 21 / EMA 89 for short-term and structural trend
• RSI for momentum confirmation
• Volume Spike Detection based on a volume SMA multiplier
• Anchored VWAP, reset daily and anchored at a configurable time
• Optional Reversal Mode for mean-reversion setups
Scoring Logic
Each side (LONG / SHORT) accumulates points based on conditions such as:
• Bollinger Band compression
• EMA 9 vs EMA 21 alignment
• Price location relative to EMA 9 and BB basis
• RSI above or below threshold
• Volume spike confirmation
• Price position relative to Anchored VWAP
If Reversal Mode is enabled, additional points are added when:
• Price touches or exceeds Bollinger extremes
• RSI divergence is detected
• Price deviates significantly from Anchored VWAP
Reversal conditions carry more weight, favoring exhaustion and snap-back setups.
Signal Generation
At the anticipation candle:
• LONG signal
Triggered when LONG score ≥ required threshold and stronger than SHORT score.
• SHORT signal
Triggered when SHORT score ≥ required threshold and stronger than LONG score.
• NEUTRAL signal
Displayed when neither side has a clear statistical edge.
Signals are displayed as labels above or below price, positioned dynamically using ATR to avoid candle overlap.
Once triggered, the signal remains active through the 15:50 candle and can be used for trade execution or confirmation.
Anchored VWAP
The Anchored VWAP:
• Resets automatically each trading day
• Starts calculating from a user-defined hour and minute
• Acts as a directional and mean-reversion reference
• Is fully integrated into both trend and reversal logic
Alerts
The indicator provides alert conditions for:
• Anticipated LONG setup
• Anticipated SHORT setup
• NEUTRAL condition
Alerts trigger when the anticipation signal becomes active, allowing automation or discretionary execution.
Intended Use
This indicator is best used as:
• A directional bias tool before a known time-based volatility event
• A confirmation layer, not a standalone entry system
• A way to structure disciplined trades instead of reacting emotionally to the 15:50 candle
It favors clarity, confluence, and probability, not prediction.
Big Candle Identifier with RSI Divergence and Advanced Stops1. Strategy Objective
The main goal of this strategy is to:
Identify significant price momentum (big candles).
Enter trades at opportune moments based on market signals (candlestick patterns and RSI divergence).
Limit initial risk through a fixed stop loss.
Maximize profits by using a trailing stop that activates only after the trade moves a specified distance in the profitable direction.
2. Components of the Strategy
A. Big Candle Identification
The strategy identifies big candles as indicators of strong momentum.
A big candle is defined as:
The body (absolute difference between close and open) of the current candle (body0) is larger than the bodies of the last five candles.
The candle is:
Bullish Big Candle: If close > open.
Bearish Big Candle: If open > close.
Purpose: Big candles signal potential continuation or reversal of trends, serving as the primary entry trigger.
B. RSI Divergence
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator used to detect overbought/oversold conditions and divergence.
Fast RSI: A 5-period RSI, which is more sensitive to short-term price movements.
Slow RSI: A 14-period RSI, which smoothens fluctuations over a longer timeframe.
Divergence: The difference between the fast and slow RSIs.
Positive divergence (divergence > 0): Bullish momentum.
Negative divergence (divergence < 0): Bearish momentum.
Visualization: The divergence is plotted on the chart, helping traders confirm momentum shifts.
C. Stop Loss
Initial Stop Loss:
When entering a trade, an immediate stop loss of 200 points is applied.
This stop loss ensures the maximum risk is capped at a predefined level.
Implementation:
Long Trades: Stop loss is set below the entry price at low - 200 points.
Short Trades: Stop loss is set above the entry price at high + 200 points.
Purpose:
Prevents significant losses if the price moves against the trade immediately after entry.
D. Trailing Stop
The trailing stop is a dynamic risk management tool that adjusts with price movements to lock in profits. Here’s how it works:
Activation Condition:
The trailing stop only starts trailing when the trade moves 200 ticks (profit) in the right direction:
Long Position: close - entry_price >= 200 ticks.
Short Position: entry_price - close >= 200 ticks.
Trailing Logic:
Once activated, the trailing stop:
For Long Positions: Trails behind the price by 150 ticks (trail_stop = close - 150 ticks).
For Short Positions: Trails above the price by 150 ticks (trail_stop = close + 150 ticks).
Exit Condition:
The trade exits automatically if the price touches the trailing stop level.
Purpose:
Ensures profits are locked in as the trade progresses while still allowing room for price fluctuations.
E. Trade Entry Logic
Long Entry:
Triggered when a bullish big candle is identified.
Stop loss is set at low - 200 points.
Short Entry:
Triggered when a bearish big candle is identified.
Stop loss is set at high + 200 points.
F. Trade Exit Logic
Trailing Stop: Automatically exits the trade if the price touches the trailing stop level.
Fixed Stop Loss: Exits the trade if the price hits the predefined stop loss level.
G. 21 EMA
The strategy includes a 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as a trend filter.
EMA helps visualize the overall market direction:
Price above EMA: Indicates an uptrend.
Price below EMA: Indicates a downtrend.
H. Visualization
Big Candle Identification:
The open and close prices of big candles are plotted for easy reference.
Trailing Stop:
Plotted on the chart to visualize its progression during the trade.
Green Line: Indicates the trailing stop for long positions.
Red Line: Indicates the trailing stop for short positions.
RSI Divergence:
Positive divergence is shown in green.
Negative divergence is shown in red.
3. Key Parameters
trail_start_ticks: The number of ticks required before the trailing stop activates (default: 200 ticks).
trail_distance_ticks: The distance between the trailing stop and price once the trailing stop starts (default: 150 ticks).
initial_stop_loss_points: The fixed stop loss in points applied at entry (default: 200 points).
tick_size: Automatically calculates the minimum tick size for the trading instrument.
4. Workflow of the Strategy
Step 1: Entry Signal
The strategy identifies a big candle (bullish or bearish).
If conditions are met, a trade is entered with a fixed stop loss.
Step 2: Initial Risk Management
The trade starts with an initial stop loss of 200 points.
Step 3: Trailing Stop Activation
If the trade moves 200 ticks in the profitable direction:
The trailing stop is activated and follows the price at a distance of 150 ticks.
Step 4: Exit the Trade
The trade is exited if:
The price hits the trailing stop.
The price hits the initial stop loss.
5. Advantages of the Strategy
Risk Management:
The fixed stop loss ensures that losses are capped.
The trailing stop locks in profits after the trade becomes profitable.
Momentum-Based Entries:
The strategy uses big candles as entry triggers, which often indicate strong price momentum.
Divergence Confirmation:
RSI divergence helps validate momentum and avoid false signals.
Dynamic Profit Protection:
The trailing stop adjusts dynamically, allowing the trade to capture larger moves while protecting gains.
6. Ideal Market Conditions
This strategy performs best in:
Trending Markets:
Big candles and momentum signals are more effective in capturing directional moves.
High Volatility:
Larger price swings improve the probability of reaching the trailing stop activation level (200 ticks).

1. Understanding the Indicator's Context
The indicator generates signals based on confluence (trend, volume, key zones, etc.), but it does not include predefined SL or TP levels. To establish them, we must:
Use dynamic or static support/resistance levels already present in the script.
Incorporate volatility (such as ATR) to adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Define a risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
2. Options for Determining SL and TP
Below, I provide several ideas based on the tools available in the script:
Stop Loss (SL)
The SL should protect you from adverse movements. You can base it on:
ATR (Volatility): Use the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) multiplied by a factor (e.g., 1.5 or 2) to set a dynamic SL.
Buy: SL = Entry Price - (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Sell: SL = Entry Price + (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Key Zones: Place the SL below a support (for buys) or above a resistance (for sells), using Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, or Liquidity Zones.
Buy: SL below the nearest ob_lows or fvg_lows.
Sell: SL above the nearest ob_highs or fvg_highs.
VWAP: Use the daily VWAP (vwap_day) as a critical level.
Buy: SL below vwap_day.
Sell: SL above vwap_day.
Take Profit (TP)
The TP should maximize profits. You can base it on:
Risk/Reward Ratio: Multiply the SL distance by a factor (e.g., 2 or 3).
Buy: TP = Entry Price + (SL Distance * 2).
Sell: TP = Entry Price - (SL Distance * 2).
Key Zones: Target the next resistance (for buys) or support (for sells).
Buy: TP at the next ob_highs, fvg_highs, or liq_zone_high.
Sell: TP at the next ob_lows, fvg_lows, or liq_zone_low.
Ichimoku: Use the cloud levels (Senkou Span A/B) as targets.
Buy: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is higher).
Sell: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is lower).
3. Practical Implementation
Since the script does not automatically draw SL/TP, you can:
Calculate them manually: Observe the chart and use the levels mentioned.
Modify the code: Add SL/TP as labels (label.new) at the moment of the signal.
Here’s an example of how to modify the code to display SL and TP based on ATR with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio:
Modified Code (Signals Section)
Find the lines where the signals (trade_buy and trade_sell) are generated and add the following:
pinescript
// Calculate SL and TP based on ATR
atr_sl_mult = 1.5 // Multiplier for SL
atr_tp_mult = 3.0 // Multiplier for TP (1:2 ratio)
sl_distance = atr_smooth * atr_sl_mult
tp_distance = atr_smooth * atr_tp_mult
if trade_buy
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price - sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price + tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, low, "Buy: " + str.tostring(math.round(bull_conditions, 1)), color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
if trade_sell
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price + sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price - tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, high, "Sell: " + str.tostring(math.round(bear_conditions, 1)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
Code Explanation
SL: Calculated by subtracting/adding sl_distance to the entry price (close) depending on whether it’s a buy or sell.
TP: Calculated with a double distance (tp_distance) for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Visualization: Labels are added to the chart to display SL (red) and TP (blue).
4. Practical Strategy Without Modifying the Code
If you don’t want to modify the script, follow these steps manually:
Entry: Take the trade_buy or trade_sell signal.
SL: Check the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) on the chart or calculate a fixed level (e.g., 1.5 times the ATR). Also, review nearby key zones (OB, FVG, VWAP).
TP: Define a target based on the next key zone or multiply the SL distance by 2 or 3.
Example:
Buy at 100, ATR = 2.
SL = 100 - (2 * 1.5) = 97.
TP = 100 + (2 * 3) = 106.
5. Recommendations
Test in Demo: Apply this logic in a demo account to adjust the multipliers (atr_sl_mult, atr_tp_mult) based on the market (forex or crypto).
Combine with Zones: If the ATR-based SL is too wide, use the nearest OB or FVG as a reference.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Adjust the TP based on your tolerance (1:1, 1:2, 1:3)

Leverage requirements and position amount calculations
Fee-adjusted risk-reward ratios for realistic profit expectations
Break-even price including all trading costs
Individual profit calculations for partial position closures
Detailed Take-Profit Calculation Formula:
The take-profit prices are calculated using the following mathematical formula:
// Core variables:
// risk_amount = account_size * (risk_percentage / 100)
// total_risk_per_share = |entry_price - sl_price| + (entry_price * fee%) + (sl_price * fee%)
// shares = risk_amount / total_risk_per_share
// direction_factor = 1 for long positions, -1 for short positions
// Take-profit calculation:
net_win = total_risk_per_share * shares * RR_ratio
tp_price = (net_win + (direction_factor * entry_price * shares) + (entry_price * fee% * shares)) / (direction_factor * shares - fee% * shares)
Step-by-step example for a long position (based on screenshot):
Account Size: 2,000 USDT, Risk: 2% = 40 USDT
Entry: 102,062.9 USDT, Stop Loss: 102,178.4 USDT, Fee: 0.06%
Risk per share: |102,062.9 - 102,178.4| + (102,062.9 × 0.0006) + (102,178.4 × 0.0006) = 115.5 + 61.24 + 61.31 = 238.05 USDT
Shares: 40 ÷ 238.05 = 0.168 shares (rounded to 0.17 in display)
Position Size: 0.17 × 102,062.9 = 17,350.69 USDT
Position Amount (with 9x leverage): 17,350.69 ÷ 9 = 1,927.85 USDT
For 2:1 RR: Net win = 238.05 × 0.17 × 2 = 80.94 USDT
TP1 price = (80.94 + (1 × 102,062.9 × 0.17) + (102,062.9 × 0.0006 × 0.17)) ÷ (1 × 0.17 - 0.0006 × 0.17) = 101,464.7 USDT
For 3:1 RR: TP2 price = 101,226.7 USDT (following same formula with RR=3)
This ensures that after accounting for all fees, the actual risk-reward ratio matches the specified target ratio.
Risk Management Features
Maximum Trade Amount: Optional setting to limit position size regardless of account size
Leverage Limits: Built-in maximum leverage protection
Fee Integration: All calculations include realistic trading fees for accurate expectations
Validation: Automatic checking that take-profit portions sum to 100%
Historical Tracking: Visual indication when stop-loss or take-profit levels are reached (within last 5000 bars)
Understanding Max Trade Amount - Multiple Simultaneous Trades:
The "Max Trade Amount" feature is designed for traders who want to open multiple positions simultaneously while maintaining proper risk management. Here's how it works:
Key Concept:
- Risk percentage (2%) always applies to your full Account Size
- Max Trade Amount limits the capital allocated per individual trade
- This allows multiple trades with full risk on each trade
Example from Screenshot:
Account Size: 2,000 USDT
Max Trade Amount: 500 USDT
Risk per Trade: 2% × 2,000 = 40 USDT per trade
Stop Loss Distance: 0.11% from entry
Result: Position Size = 17,350.69 USDT with 35x leverage
Total Risk (including fees): 40.46 USDT
Multiple Trades Strategy:
With this setup, you can open:
Trade 1: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 2: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 3: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 4: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Total Portfolio Exposure:
- 4 simultaneous trades = 4 × 495.73 = 1,982.92 USDT position amount
- Total risk exposure = 4 × 40 = 160 USDT (8% of account)

Liquidity Retest Strategy (Apicode) - TP/SL Lines FixedTechnical Documentation:
1. Purpose and underlying concept
This strategy targets a common behavior in liquid markets: liquidity sweeps around meaningful support/resistance levels, followed by a retest and rejection (reversal) with confirmation.
The core thesis is that many initial “breaks” are not continuation moves, but rather stop-runs and order harvesting. After the sweep, price reclaims the level and closes back on the opposite side, offering a structured entry with defined risk.
The strategy includes:
Support/Resistance detection via pivots
Dynamic selection of the “working” level using an ATR-based proximity window
Rejection validation via candle structure (wick + close)
Optional filters: volume, VWAP-like bias, and EMA trend
Risk management with static TP/SL (ATR-based or %), plus trailing stop (ATR-based or %), with per-trade lines plotted
2. Main components
2.1. Volatility metric: ATR
atr = ta.atr(atrLength) is used in two essential places:
Level selection (proximity to S/R): prevents trading levels that are too far from current price.
Sweep validation (minimum wick size): requires the wick to extend beyond the level by a volatility-relative amount.
Optionally, ATR can also be used for:
Static TP/SL (when usePercent = false)
Trailing stop (when useTrailPercent = false)
2.2. Building S/R levels with pivots
Pivots are detected using:
pivotHigh = ta.pivothigh(pivotLookback, rightBars)
pivotLow = ta.pivotlow(pivotLookback, rightBars)
Each confirmed pivot is stored in arrays:
resistanceLevels for resistance
supportLevels for support
The array size is capped by maxLevels, which reduces noise and manages chart resource usage (lines).
2.3. Selecting the “best” level each bar
On each bar, a single support S and/or resistance R candidate is chosen:
Support: nearest level below price (L < price)
Resistance: nearest level above price (L > price)
Only levels within atr * maxDistATR are considered
This produces dynamic “working levels” that adapt to price location and volatility.
2.4. Rejection pattern (retest + sweep)
After selecting the working level:
Support rejection (long setup)
Conditions:
Low touches/crosses support: low <= S
Close reclaims above: close > S
Bullish candle: close > open
Sufficient wick below the level (liquidity sweep): (S - low) >= atr * minWickATR
This aims to capture a stop sweep below support followed by immediate recovery.
Resistance rejection (short setup)
Symmetric conditions:
High touches/crosses resistance: high >= R
Close rejects back below: close < R
Bearish candle: close < open
Sufficient wick above the level: (high - R) >= atr * minWickATR
2.5. Optional filters
Final signals are the rejection pattern AND enabled filters:
1.- Volume filter
High volume is defined as: volume > SMA(volume, 20) * volMult
When useVolFilter = true, setups require relatively elevated participation
2.- VWAP-like bias filter
A VWAP-like series is computed over vwapLength (typical price weighted by volume)
When useVWAPFilter = true:
- Longs only if close > vwap
- Shorts only if close < vwap
3.- EMA trend filter
Uptrend if EMA(fast) > EMA(slow)
When useTrendFilter = true:
- Longs only in uptrend
- Shorts only in downtrend
2.6. Backtest time window (time filter)
To keep testing focused and reduce long-history noise:
useMaxLookbackDays enables the filter
maxLookbackDays defines how many days back from timenow entries are allowed
Entries are permitted only when time >= startTime.
3. Entry rules and position control
3.1. Entries
strategy.entry('Long', strategy.long) when longSetup and no long position is open
strategy.entry('Short', strategy.short) when shortSetup and no short position is open
No pyramiding is allowed (pyramiding = 0). Position gating is handled by:
Long allowed if strategy.position_size <= 0
Short allowed if strategy.position_size >= 0
4. Risk management: TP/SL and trailing (with plotted lines)
4.1. Detecting entry/exit events
Events are identified via changes in strategy.position_size:
LongEntry: transition into a long
shortEntry: transition into a short
flatExit: transition back to flat
This drives per-trade line creation, updates, and cleanup of state variables.
4.2. Static TP/SL
On entry, entryPrice := strategy.position_avg_price is stored.
Percent mode (usePercent = true)
Long:
staticSL = entryPrice*(1 - slPerc/100)
staticTP = entryPrice*(1 + tpPerc/100)
Short:
staticSL = entryPrice*(1 + slPerc/100)
staticTP = entryPrice*(1 - tpPerc/100)
ATR mode (usePercent = false)
Long:
staticSL = entryPrice - atrAtEntry*slATR
staticTP = entryPrice + atrAtEntry*tpATR
Short:
staticSL = entryPrice + atrAtEntry*slATR
staticTP = entryPrice - atrAtEntry*tpATR
4.3. Trailing stop (custom)
While a position is open, the script tracks the most favorable excursion:
Long: hhSinceEntry = highest high since entry
Short: llSinceEntry = lowest low since entry
A trailing candidate is computed:
Percent trailing (useTrailPercent = true)
Long: trailCandidate = hhSinceEntry*(1 - trailPerc/100)
Short: trailCandidate = llSinceEntry*(1 + trailPerc/100)
ATR trailing (useTrailPercent = false)
Long: trailCandidate = hhSinceEntry - atr*trailATR
Short: trailCandidate = llSinceEntry + atr*trailATR
Then the effective stop is selected:
Long: slUsed = max(staticSL, trailCandidate) when useTrail is enabled
Short: slUsed = min(staticSL, trailCandidate) when useTrail is enabled
If useTrail is disabled, slUsed remains the static stop.
Take profit remains static:
tpUsed = staticTP
Exit orders are issued via:
strategy.exit(..., stop=slUsed, limit=tpUsed)
4.4. Per-trade TP/SL lines
On each entry, two lines are created (SL and TP) via f_createLines().
During the trade, the SL line updates when trailing moves the stop; TP remains fixed.
On exit (flatExit), both lines are finalized on the exit bar and left on the chart as historical references.
This makes it straightforward to visually audit each trade: entry context, intended TP, and trailing evolution until exit.
5. Visualization and debugging
BUY/SELL labels with configurable size (xsize)
Debug mode (showDebug) plots the chosen working support/resistance level each bar
Stored pivot levels are drawn using reusable line slots, projected a fixed 20 bars to the right to keep the chart readable and efficient
6. Parameter guidance and practical notes
pivotLookback / rightBars: controls pivot significance vs responsiveness. Lower rightBars confirms pivots earlier but can increase noise.
maxDistATR: too low may reject valid levels; too high may select distant, less relevant levels.
minWickATR: key quality gate for “real” sweeps. Higher values reduce frequency but often improve signal quality.
Filters:
Volume filter tends to help in ranges and active sessions.
VWAP bias is useful intraday to align trades with session positioning.
EMA trend filter is helpful in directional markets but may remove good mean-reversion setups.
Percent TP/SL: provides consistent behavior across assets with variable volatility, but is less adaptive to sudden regime shifts.
Percent trailing: can capture extensions well; calibrate trailPerc per asset/timeframe (too tight = premature exits).
7. Known limitations
Pivot-derived levels are a heuristic; in strong trends, valid retests may be limited.
The time filter uses timenow; behavior may vary depending on historical context and how the platform evaluates “current time.”
TP/SL and trailing are computed from bar OHLC; in live trading, intrabar sequencing and fills may differ from bar-close simulation.
PivotBoss VWAP Bands (Auto TF) - FixedWhat this indicator shows (high level)
The indicator plots a VWAP line and three bands above (R1, R2, R3) and three bands below (S1, S2, S3).
Band spacing is computed from STD(abs(VWAP − price), N) and multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 to form R1–R3 / S1–S3. The script is timeframe-aware: on 30m/1H charts it uses Weekly VWAP and weekly bands; on Daily charts it uses Monthly VWAP and monthly bands; otherwise it uses the session/chart VWAP.
VWAP = the market’s volume-weighted average price (a measure of fair value). Bands = volatility-scaled zones around that fair value.
Trading idea — concept summary
VWAP = fair value. Price above VWAP implies bullish bias; below VWAP implies bearish bias.
Bands = graded overbought/oversold zones. R1/S1 are near-term limits, R2/S2 are stronger, R3/S3 are extreme.
Use trend alignment + price action + volume to choose higher-probability trades. VWAP bands give location and magnitude; confirmations reduce false signals.
Entry rules (multiple strategies with examples)
A. Momentum breakout (trend-following) — preferred on trending markets
Setup: Price consolidates near or below R1 and then closes above R1 with above-average volume. Chart: 30m/1H (Weekly VWAP) or Daily (Monthly VWAP) depending on your timeframe.
Entry: Enter long at the close of the breakout bar that closes above R1.
Stop-loss: Place initial stop below the higher of (VWAP or recent swing low). Example: if price broke R1 at ₹1,200 and VWAP = ₹1,150, set stop at ₹1,145 (5 rupee buffer below VWAP) or below the last swing low if that is wider.
Target: Partial target at R2, full target at R3. Trail stop to VWAP or to R1 after price reaches R2.
Example numeric: Weekly VWAP = ₹1,150, R1 = ₹1,200, R2 = ₹1,260. Buy at ₹1,205 (close above R1), stop ₹1,145, target1 ₹1,260 (R2), target2 ₹1,320 (R3).
B. Mean-reversion fade near bands — for range-bound markets
Setup: Market is not trending (VWAP flatish). Price rallies up to R2 or R3 and shows rejection (pin bar, bearish engulfing) on increasing or neutral volume.
Entry: Enter short after a confirmed rejection candle that fails to sustain above R2 or R3 (prefer confirmation: close back below R1 or below the rejection candle low).
Stop-loss: Just above the recent high (e.g., 1–2 ATR or a fixed buffer above R2/R3).
Target: First target VWAP, second target S1. Reduce size if taking R3 fade as it’s an extreme.
Example numeric: VWAP = ₹950, R2 = ₹1,020. Price spikes to ₹1,025 and forms a bearish engulfing candle. Enter short at ₹1,015 after the next close below ₹1,020. Stop at ₹1,035, target VWAP ₹950.
C. Pullback entries in trending markets — higher probability
Setup: Price is above VWAP and trending higher (higher highs and higher lows). Price pulls back toward VWAP or S1 with decreasing downside volume and a reversal candle forms.
Entry: Long when price forms a bullish reversal (hammer/inside-bar) with a close back above the pullback candle.
Stop-loss: Below the pullback low (or below S2 if a larger stop is justified).
Target: VWAP then R1; if momentum resumes, trail toward R2/R3.
Example numeric: Price trending above Weekly VWAP at ₹1,400; pullback to S1 at ₹1,360. Enter long at ₹1,370 when a bullish candle closes; stop at ₹1,350; first target VWAP ₹1,400, second target R1 ₹1,450.
Exit rules and money management
Basic exit hierarchy
Hard stop exit — when price hits initial stop-loss. Always use.
Target exit — take partial profits at R1/R2 (for longs) or S1/S2 (for shorts). Use trailing stops for the remainder.
VWAP invalidation — if you entered long above VWAP and price returns and closes significantly below VWAP, consider exiting (condition depends on timeframe and trade size).
Price action exit — reversal patterns (strong opposite candle, bearish/bullish engulfing) near targets or beyond signals to exit.
Trailing rules
After price reaches R2, move stop to breakeven + a small buffer or to VWAP.
After price reaches R3, trail by 1 ATR or lock a defined profit percentage.
Position sizing & risk
Risk per trade: commonly 0.5–2% of account equity.
Determine position size by RiskAmount ÷ (EntryPrice − StopPrice).
If the stop distance is large (e.g., trading R3 fades), reduce position size.
Filters & confirmation (to reduce false signals)
Volume filter: For breakouts, require volume above short-term average (e.g., >20-period average). Breakouts on low volume are suspect.
Trend filter: Only take breakouts in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend (for example, use Daily/Weekly trend when trading 30m/1H).
Candle confirmation: Prefer entries on close of the confirming candle (not intrabar noise).
Multiple confirmations: When R1 break happens but RSI/plotted momentum indicator does not confirm, treat signal as lower probability.
Special considerations for timeframe-aware logic
On 30m/1H the script uses Weekly VWAP/bands. That means band levels change only on weekly candles — they are strong, structural levels. Treat R1/R2/R3 as significant and expect fewer, stronger signals.
On Daily, the script uses Monthly VWAP/bands. These are wider; trades should allow larger stops and smaller position sizes (or be used for swing trades).
On other intraday charts you get session VWAP (useful for intraday scalps).
Example: If you trade 1H and the Weekly R1 is at ₹2,400 while session VWAP is ₹2,350, a close above Weekly R1 represents a weekly-level breakout — prefer that for swing entries rather than scalps.
Example trade walkthrough (step-by-step)
Context: 1H chart, auto-mapped → Weekly VWAP used.
Weekly VWAP = ₹3,000; R1 = ₹3,080; R2 = ₹3,150.
Price consolidates below R1. A large bullish candle closes at ₹3,085 with volume 40% above the 20-bar average.
Entry: Buy at close ₹3,085.
Stop: Place stop at ₹2,995 (just under Weekly VWAP). Risk = ₹90.
Position size: If risking ₹900 per trade → size = 900 ÷ 90 = 10 units.
Targets: Partial take-profit at R2 = ₹3,150; rest trailed with stop moved to breakeven after R2 is hit.
If price reverses and closes below VWAP within two bars, exit immediately to limit drawdown.
When to avoid trading these signals
High-impact news (earnings, macro announcements) that can gap through bands unpredictably.
Thin markets with low volume — VWAP loses significance when volumes are extremely low.
When weekly/monthly bands are flat but intraday price is volatile without clear structure — prefer session VWAP on smaller timeframes.
Alerts & automation suggestions
Alert on close above R1 / below S1 (use the built-in alertcondition the script adds). For higher-confidence alerts, require volume filter in the alert condition.
Automated order rules (if you automate): use limit entry at breakout close plus a small slippage buffer, immediate stop order, and OCO for TP and SL.

ApicodeLibrary "Apicode"
percentToTicks(percent, from)
Converts a percentage of the average entry price or a specified price to ticks when the
strategy has an open position.
Parameters:
percent (float) : (series int/float) The percentage of the `from` price to express in ticks, e.g.,
a value of 50 represents 50% (half) of the price.
from (float) : (series int/float) Optional. The price from which to calculate a percentage and convert
to ticks. The default is `strategy.position_avg_price`.
Returns: (float) The number of ticks within the specified percentage of the `from` price if
the strategy has an open position. Otherwise, it returns `na`.
percentToPrice(percent, from)
Calculates the price value that is a specific percentage distance away from the average
entry price or a specified price when the strategy has an open position.
Parameters:
percent (float) : (series int/float) The percentage of the `from` price to use as the distance. If the value
is positive, the calculated price is above the `from` price. If negative, the result is
below the `from` price. For example, a value of 10 calculates the price 10% higher than
the `from` price.
from (float) : (series int/float) Optional. The price from which to calculate a percentage distance.
The default is `strategy.position_avg_price`.
Returns: (float) The price value at the specified `percentage` distance away from the `from` price
if the strategy has an open position. Otherwise, it returns `na`.
percentToCurrency(price, percent)
Parameters:
price (float) : (series int/float) The price from which to calculate the percentage.
percent (float) : (series int/float) The percentage of the `price` to calculate.
Returns: (float) The amount of the symbol's currency represented by the percentage of the specified
`price`.
percentProfit(exitPrice)
Calculates the expected profit/loss of the open position if it were to close at the
specified `exitPrice`, expressed as a percentage of the average entry price.
NOTE: This function may not return precise values for positions with multiple open trades
because it only uses the average entry price.
Parameters:
exitPrice (float) : (series int/float) The position's hypothetical closing price.
Returns: (float) The expected profit percentage from exiting the position at the `exitPrice`. If
there is no open position, it returns `na`.

Returns: (float) The value of the `price`, expressed in ticks.
ticksToPrice(ticks, from)
Calculates the price value at the specified number of ticks away from the average entry
price or a specified price when the strategy has an open position.
Parameters:
ticks (float) : (series int/float) The number of ticks away from the `from` price. If the value is positive,
the calculated price is above the `from` price. If negative, the result is below the `from`
price.
from (float) : (series int/float) Optional. The price to evaluate the tick distance from. The default is
`strategy.position_avg_price`.
Returns: (float) The price value at the specified number of ticks away from the `from` price if
the strategy has an open position. Otherwise, it returns `na`.

`strategy.exit()` call.
Parameters:
ticks (float) : (series int/float) The number of ticks from the position's average entry price to the
stop-loss level. If the position is long, the value represents the number of ticks *below*
the average entry price. If short, it represents the number of ticks *above* the price.
Returns: (float) The calculated stop-loss value for the open position. If there is no open position,
it returns `na`.
ticksToTpLevel(ticks)
Calculates a take-profit level using a specified tick distance from the position's average
entry price. A script can plot the returned value and use it as the `limit` argument in a
`strategy.exit()` call.
Parameters:
ticks (float) : (series int/float) The number of ticks from the position's average entry price to the
take-profit level. If the position is long, the value represents the number of ticks *above*
the average entry price. If short, it represents the number of ticks *below* the price.

specified percentage of equity at the stop-loss level.
calcPositionSizeByStopLossPercent(stopLossPercent, riskPercent, entryPrice)
Calculates the entry quantity required to risk a specified percentage of the strategy's
current equity at a percent-based stop-loss level.
Parameters:
stopLossPercent (float) : (series int/float) The percentage of the `entryPrice` to use as the stop-loss distance.
riskPercent (float) : (series int/float) The percentage of the strategy's equity to risk if a trade moves
`stopLossPercent` of the `entryPrice` in the unfavorable direction.
entryPrice (float) : (series int/float) Optional. The entry price to use in the calculation. The default is
`close`.
Returns: (int) The number of contracts/shares/lots/units to use as the entry quantity to risk the
specified percentage of equity at the stop-loss level.
exitPercent(id, lossPercent, profitPercent, qty, qtyPercent, comment, alertMessage)
A wrapper for the `strategy.exit()` function designed for creating stop-loss and
take-profit orders at percentage distances away from the position's average entry price.
NOTE: This function calls `strategy.exit()` without a `from_entry` ID, so it creates exit
orders for *every* entry in an open position until the position closes. Therefore, using
this function when the strategy has a pyramiding value greater than 1 can lead to
unexpected results. See the "Exits for multiple entries" section of our User Manual's
"Strategies" page to learn more about this behavior.
Parameters:
id (string) : (series string) Optional. The identifier of the stop-loss/take-profit orders, which
corresponds to an exit ID in the strategy's trades after an order fills. The default is
`"Exit"`.
lossPercent (float) : (series int/float) The percentage of the position's average entry price to use as the
stop-loss distance. The function does not create a stop-loss order if the value is `na`.
profitPercent (float) : (series int/float) The percentage of the position's average entry price to use as the
take-profit distance. The function does not create a take-profit order if the value is `na`.
qty (float) : (series int/float) Optional. The number of contracts/lots/shares/units to close when an
exit order fills. If specified, the call uses this value instead of `qtyPercent` to
determine the order size. The exit orders reserve this quantity from the position, meaning
other orders from `strategy.exit()` cannot close this portion until the strategy fills or
cancels those orders. The default is `na`, which means the order size depends on the
`qtyPercent` value.
qtyPercent (float) : (series int/float) Optional. A value between 0 and 100 representing the percentage of the
open trade quantity to close when an exit order fills. The exit orders reserve this
percentage from the open trades, meaning other calls to this command cannot close this
portion until the strategy fills or cancels those orders. The percentage calculation
depends on the total size of the applicable open trades without considering the reserved
amount from other `strategy.exit()` calls. The call ignores this parameter if the `qty`
value is not `na`. The default is 100.
comment (string) : (series string) Optional. Additional notes on the filled order. If the value is specified
and not an empty "string", the Strategy Tester and the chart show this text for the order
instead of the specified `id`. The default is `na`.
alertMessage (string) : (series string) Optional. Custom text for the alert that fires when an order fills. If the
value is specified and not an empty "string", and the "Message" field of the "Create Alert"
dialog box contains the `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}` placeholder, the alert message
replaces the placeholder with this text. The default is `na`.
Returns: (void) The function does not return a usable value.
closeAllAtEndOfSession(comment, alertMessage)
A wrapper for the `strategy.close_all()` function designed to close all open trades with a
market order when the last bar in the current day's session closes. It uses the command's
`immediately` parameter to exit all trades at the last bar's `close` instead of the `open`
of the next session's first bar.
Parameters:
comment (string) : (series string) Optional. Additional notes on the filled order. If the value is specified
and not an empty "string", the Strategy Tester and the chart show this text for the order
instead of the automatically generated exit identifier. The default is `na`.
alertMessage (string) : (series string) Optional. Custom text for the alert that fires when an order fills. If the
value is specified and not an empty "string", and the "Message" field of the "Create Alert"
dialog box contains the `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}` placeholder, the alert message
replaces the placeholder with this text. The default is `na`.
Returns: (void) The function does not return a usable value.
closeAtEndOfSession(entryId, comment, alertMessage)
A wrapper for the `strategy.close()` function designed to close specific open trades with a
market order when the last bar in the current day's session closes. It uses the command's
`immediately` parameter to exit the trades at the last bar's `close` instead of the `open`
of the next session's first bar.
Parameters:
entryId (string)
comment (string) : (series string) Optional. Additional notes on the filled order. If the value is specified
and not an empty "string", the Strategy Tester and the chart show this text for the order
instead of the automatically generated exit identifier. The default is `na`.
alertMessage (string) : (series string) Optional. Custom text for the alert that fires when an order fills. If the
value is specified and not an empty "string", and the "Message" field of the "Create Alert"
dialog box contains the `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}` placeholder, the alert message
replaces the placeholder with this text. The default is `na`.
Returns: (void) The function does not return a usable value.
sortinoRatio(interestRate, forceCalc)
Calculates the Sortino ratio of the strategy based on realized monthly returns.
Parameters:
interestRate (simple float) : (simple int/float) Optional. The *annual* "risk-free" return percentage to compare against
strategy returns. The default is 2, meaning it uses an annual benchmark of 2%.
forceCalc (bool) : (series bool) Optional. A value of `true` forces the function to calculate the ratio on the
current bar. If the value is `false`, the function calculates the ratio only on the latest
available bar for efficiency. The default is `false`.
Returns: (float) The Sortino ratio, which estimates the strategy's excess return per unit of
downside volatility.
sharpeRatio(interestRate, forceCalc)
Calculates the Sharpe ratio of the strategy based on realized monthly returns.
Parameters:
interestRate (simple float) : (simple int/float) Optional. The *annual* "risk-free" return percentage to compare against
strategy returns. The default is 2, meaning it uses an annual benchmark of 2%.
forceCalc (bool) : (series bool) Optional. A value of `true` forces the function to calculate the ratio on the
current bar. If the value is `false`, the function calculates the ratio only on the latest
available bar for efficiency. The default is `false`.
Returns: (float) The Sortino ratio, which estimates the strategy's excess return per unit of
total volatility.

Katz Exploding PowerBand FilterUnderstanding the Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) v2.4
1. Indicator Overview
The Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) is an advanced technical indicator designed to identify moments of expanding bullish or bearish momentum, often referred to as "power." It operates as a standalone oscillator in a separate pane below the main price chart.
Its primary goal is to measure underlying market strength by calculating custom "Bull" and "Bear" power components. These components are then filtered through a versatile moving average and a dual signal line system to generate clear entry and exit signals. This indicator is not a simple momentum oscillator; it uses a unique calculation based on exponential envelopes of both price and squared price to derive its values.
2. On-Chart Lines and Components
The indicator pane consists of five main lines:
Bullish Component (Thick Green/Blue/Yellow/Gray Line): This is the core of the indicator. It represents the calculated bullish "power" or momentum in the market.
Bright Green: Indicates a strong, active long signal condition.
Blue: Shows the bull component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a potential sign of a reversal or weakening downtrend.
Yellow: A warning sign that bullish power is weakening and has fallen below the primary signal lines.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bullish power.
Bearish Component (Thick Red/Purple/Yellow/Gray Line): This line represents the calculated bearish "power" or downward momentum.
Bright Red: Indicates a strong, active short signal condition.
Purple: Shows the bear component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a sign of potential trend continuation.
Yellow: A warning sign that bearish power is weakening.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bearish power.
MA Filter (Purple Line): This is the main filter, calculated using the moving average type and length you select in the settings (e.g., HullMA, EMA). The Bull and Bear components are compared against this line to determine the underlying trend bias.
Signal Line 1 (Orange Line): A fast Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the stronger power component. It acts as the first level of dynamic support or resistance for the power lines.
Signal Line 2 (Lime/Gray Line): A slower EMA that acts as a confirmation filter.
Lime Green: The line turns lime when it is rising and the faster Signal Line 1 is above it, indicating a confirmed bullish trend in momentum.
Gray: Indicates a neutral or bearish momentum trend.
3. On-Chart Symbols and Their Meanings
Various characters are plotted at the bottom of the indicator pane to provide clear, actionable signals.
L (Pre-Long Signal): The first sign of a potential long entry. It appears when the Bullish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
S (Pre-Short Signal): The first sign of a potential short entry. It appears when the Bearish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
▲ (Post-Long Signal): A stronger confirmation for a long entry. It appears with the 'L' signal only if the momentum trend is also confirmed bullish (i.e., the slower Signal Line 2 is lime green).
▼ (Post-Short Signal): A stronger confirmation for a short entry. It appears with the 'S' signal only if the momentum trend is confirmed bullish.
Exit / Take-Profit Symbols:
These symbols appear when a power component crosses below a line, suggesting that momentum is fading and it may be time to take profit.
⚠️ (Exit Signal 1): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the main MA Filter. This is the first and most sensitive take-profit signal.
☣️ (Exit Signal 2): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the faster Signal Line 1. This is a moderate take-profit signal.
🚼 (Exit Signal 3): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the slower Signal Line 2. This is the slowest take-profit signal, suggesting the trend is more definitively exhausted.
4. Trading Strategy and Rules
Long Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an L to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bullish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a green ▲ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a long (buy) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Short Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an S to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bearish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a maroon ▼ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a short (sell) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Take Profit (TP) Rules:
The indicator provides three levels of take-profit signals. You can choose to exit your entire position or scale out at each level.
For a long trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bullish Component.
For a short trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bearish Component.
Stop Loss (SL) Rules:
The indicator does not provide an explicit stop loss. You must use your own risk management rules. Common methods include:
Swing High/Low: For a long position, place your stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart. For a short position, place it above the most recent swing high.
ATR-Based: Use an Average True Range (ATR) indicator to set a volatility-based stop loss.
Fixed Percentage: Risk a fixed percentage (e.g., 1-2%) of your account on the trade.
5. Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be considered financial advice. All trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. The signals generated by this indicator are probabilistic and can result in losing trades. Always use proper risk management, such as setting a stop loss, and never risk more than you are willing to lose. It is recommended to backtest this indicator and use it in conjunction with other forms of analysis before trading with real capital. The indicator should only be used for educational purposes.
EAOBS by MIGVersion 1
1. Strategy Overview Objective: Capitalize on breakout movements in Ethereum (ETH) price after the Asian open pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) by identifying high and low prices during the session and trading breakouts above the high or below the low.
Timeframe: Any (script is timeframe-agnostic, but align with session timing).
Session: Pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST, adjustable for other time zones, e.g., 12:00 AM–12:59 AM GMT).
Risk-Reward Ratios (R:R): Targets range from 1.2:1 to 5.2:1, with a fixed stop loss.
Instrument: Ethereum (ETH/USD or ETH-based pairs).
2. Market Setup Session Monitoring: Monitor ETH price action during the pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST), which aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., 9:00 AM–9:59 AM JST).
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low during this session.
Breakout Triggers: Buy Signal: Price breaks above the session’s high after the session ends (7:59 PM EST).
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the session’s low after the session ends.
Visualization: The session is highlighted on the chart with a white background.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the session’s high and low, extended for 30 bars, along with take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
3. Entry Rules Long (Buy) Entry: Enter a long position when the price breaks above the session’s high price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just above the session high (e.g., add a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%, to avoid false breakouts, depending on volatility).
Short (Sell) Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the session’s low price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just below the session low (e.g., subtract a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%).
Confirmation: Use a candlestick close above/below the breakout level to confirm the entry.
Optionally, add volume confirmation or a momentum indicator (e.g., RSI or MACD) to filter out weak breakouts.
Position Size: Calculate position size based on risk tolerance (e.g., 1–2% of account per trade).
Risk is determined by the stop-loss distance (10 points, as defined in the script).
4. Exit Rules Take-Profit Levels (in points, based on script inputs):TP1: 12 points (1.2:1 R:R).
TP2: 22 points (2.2:1 R:R).
TP3: 32 points (3.2:1 R:R).
TP4: 42 points (4.2:1 R:R).
TP5: 52 points (5.2:1 R:R).
Example for Long: If session high is 3000, TP levels are 3012, 3022, 3032, 3042, 3052.
Example for Short: If session low is 2950, TP levels are 2938, 2928, 2918, 2908, 2898.
Strategy: Scale out of the position (e.g., close 20% at TP1, 20% at TP2, etc.) or take full profit at a preferred TP level based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss: Fixed at 10 points from the entry.
Long SL: Session high - 10 points (e.g., entry at 3000, SL at 2990).
Short SL: Session low + 10 points (e.g., entry at 2950, SL at 2960).
Trailing Stop (Optional):After reaching TP2 or TP3, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits (e.g., trail by 10–15 points below the current price).
5. Risk Management per Trade: Limit risk to 1–2% of your trading account per trade.
Calculate position size: Account Size × Risk % ÷ (Stop-Loss Distance × ETH Price per Point).
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. If SL = 10 points and 1 point = $1, position size = $100 ÷ 10 = 0.1 ETH.
Daily Risk Limit: Cap daily losses at 3–5% of the account to avoid overtrading.
Maximum Exposure: Avoid taking both long and short positions simultaneously unless using separate accounts or strategies.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust position size during high-volatility periods (e.g., major news events like Ethereum upgrades or macroeconomic announcements).
6. Trade Management Monitoring :Watch for breakouts after 7:59 PM EST.
Monitor price action near TP and SL levels using alerts or manual checks.
Trade Duration: Breakout lines extend for 30 bars (script parameter). Close trades if no TP or SL is hit within this period, or reassess based on market conditions.
Adjustments: If the market shows strong momentum, consider holding beyond TP5 with a trailing stop.
If the breakout fails (e.g., price reverses before TP1), exit early to minimize losses.
7. Additional Considerations Market Conditions: The 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST session aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., Tokyo Stock Exchange open at 9:00 AM JST), which may introduce higher volatility due to Asian trading activity.
Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or extreme volatility (e.g., major crypto news).
Check for upcoming events (e.g., Ethereum network upgrades, ETF decisions) that could impact price.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical ETH data using the session high/low breakouts for the 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST window to validate performance.
Adjust TP/SL levels based on backtest results if needed.
Broker and Fees: Use a low-fee crypto exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro) to maximize R:R.
Account for trading fees and slippage in your position sizing.
Time zone Adjustment: Adjust session time input for your time zone (e.g., "0000-0059" for GMT).
Ensure your trading platform’s clock aligns with the script’s time zone (default: America/New_York).
8. Example Trade Scenario: Session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) records a high of 3050 and a low of 3000.
Long Trade: Entry: Price breaks above 3050 (e.g., enter at 3051).
TP Levels: 3063 (TP1), 3073 (TP2), 3083 (TP3), 3093 (TP4), 3103 (TP5).
SL: 3040 (3050 - 10).
Position Size: For a $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. SL = 11 points ($11). Size = $100 ÷ 11 = ~0.09 ETH.
Short Trade: Entry: Price breaks below 3000 (e.g., enter at 2999).
TP Levels: 2987 (TP1), 2977 (TP2), 2967 (TP3), 2957 (TP4), 2947 (TP5).
SL: 3010 (3000 + 10).
Position Size: Same as above, ~0.09 ETH.
Execution: Set alerts for breakouts, enter with limit orders, and monitor TPs/SL.
9. Tools and Setup Platform: Use TradingView to implement the Pine Script and visualize breakout levels.
Alerts: Set price alerts for breakouts above the session high or below the session low after 7:59 PM EST.
Set alerts for TP and SL levels.
Chart Settings: Use a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for precise session tracking.
Overlay the script to see high/low lines, TP levels, and SL levels.
Optional Indicators: Add RSI (e.g., avoid overbought/oversold breakouts) or volume to confirm breakouts.
10. Risk Warnings Crypto Volatility: ETH is highly volatile; unexpected news can cause rapid price swings.
False Breakouts: Breakouts may fail, especially in low-volume sessions. Use confirmation signals.
Leverage: Avoid high leverage (e.g., >5x) to prevent liquidation during volatile moves.
Session Accuracy: Ensure correct session timing for your time zone to avoid misaligned entries.
11. Performance Tracking Journaling :Record each trade’s entry, exit, R:R, and outcome.
Note market conditions (e.g., trending, ranging, news-driven).
Review: Weekly: Assess win rate, average R:R, and adherence to the plan.
Monthly: Adjust TP/SL or session timing based on performance.

Version 1.0 | Pine Script v6
Purpose & Innovation
AI QUANT OCULUS integrates four distinct technical concepts—exponential trend filtering, adaptive smoothing, momentum oscillation, and Gaussian smoothing—into a single, cohesive system that delivers clear, objective buy and sell signals along with automatically plotted stop-loss and three profit-target levels. This mash-up goes beyond a simple EMA crossover or standalone TRIX oscillator by requiring confluence across trend, adaptive moving averages, momentum direction, and smoothed price action, reducing false triggers and focusing on high‐probability turning points.
How It Works & Why Its Components Matter
Trend Filter: EMA vs. Adaptive MA
EMA (20) measures the prevailing trend with fixed sensitivity.
Adaptive MA (also EMA-based, length 10) approximates a faster-responding moving average, standing in for a KAMA-style filter.
Bullish bias requires AMA > EMA; bearish bias requires AMA < EMA. This ensures signals align with both the underlying trend and a more nimble view of recent price action.
Momentum Confirmation: TRIX
Calculates a triple-smoothed EMA of price over TRIX Length (15), then converts it to a percentage rate-of-change oscillator.
Positive TRIX reinforces bullish entries; negative TRIX reinforces bearish entries. Using TRIX helps filter whipsaws by focusing on sustained momentum shifts.
Gaussian Price Smoother
Applies two back-to-back 5-period EMAs to the price (“gaussian” smoothing) to remove short-term noise.
Price above the smoothed line confirms strength for longs; below confirms weakness for shorts. This layer avoids entries on erratic spikes.
Confluence Signals
Buy Signal (isBull) fires only when:
AMA > EMA (trend alignment)
TRIX > 0 (momentum support)
Close > Gaussian (price strength)
Sell Signal (isBear) fires under the inverse conditions.
Requiring all three conditions simultaneously sharply reduces false triggers common to single-indicator systems.
Automatic Risk & Reward Plotting
On each new buy or sell signal (edge detection via not isBull or not isBear ), the script:
Stores entryPrice at the signal bar’s close.
Draws a stop-loss line at entry minus ATR(14) × Stop Multiplier (1.5) by default.
Plots three profit-target lines at entry plus ATR × Target Multiplier (1×, 1.5×, and 2×).
All previous labels and lines are deleted on each new signal, keeping the chart uncluttered and focusing only on the current trade.
Inputs & Customization
Input Description Default
EMA Length Period for the main trend EMA 20
Adaptive MA Length Period for the faster adaptive EM A substitute 10
TRIX Length Period for the triple-smoothed momentum oscillator 15
Dominant Cycle Length (Reserved) 40
Stop Multiplier ATR multiple for stop-loss distance 1.5
Target Multiplier ATR multiple for first profit target 1.5
Show Buy/Sell Signals Toggle on-chart labels for entry signals On
How to Use
Apply to Chart: Best on 15 m–1 h timeframes for swing entries or 5 m for agile scalps.
Wait for Full Confluence:
Look for the AMA to cross above/below the EMA and verify TRIX and Gaussian conditions on the same bar.
A bright “LONG” or “SHORT” label marks your entry.
Manage the Trade:
Place your stop where the red or green SL line appears.
Scale or exit at the three yellow TP1/TP2/TP3 lines, automatically drawn by volatility.
Repeat Cleanly: Each new signal clears prior annotations, ensuring you only track the active setup.
Why This Script Stands Out
Multi-Layer Confluence: Trend, momentum, and noise-reduction must all align, addressing the weaknesses of single-indicator strategies.
Automated Trade Management: No manual plotting—stop and target lines appear seamlessly with each signal.
Transparent & Customizable: All logic is open, adjustable, and clearly documented, allowing traders to tweak lengths and multipliers to suit different instruments.
Disclaimer
No indicator guarantees profit. Always backtest AI QUANT OCULUS extensively, combine its signals with your own analysis and risk controls, and practice sound money management before trading live.
