FSS Indicator 2.0 -- by @FlokicryptoThis script is unique not only in that it removes the need for the user to run each of these indicators individually; it provides an ‘at-a-glance’ summary of the aggregate indicator data, while also providing the user a simultaneous recommended stop loss value based on past market behavior for the given asset and the user's tolerance to risk by editing the ATR Multiplier in the inputs.
The basic concept of the script is to apply past data to present market conditions, and through the use of that data, provide an additional confluence/confirmation signal which simultaneously provides a recommended stop loss value based on average true range (ATR).
The FSS Indicator uses a blend of :
RSI: If within a defined RSI range, increments print score.
MACD: trend and crossovers increment print score.
Histogram: increments print score if a trend of X candles is up or down.
21 EMA: Increments print score if price is above/below 21EMA.
Parabolic SAR: Increments print score if price is above/below Parabolic SAR.
These parameters generate a print score, which is then determined to be sufficient or not to print a LONG or a SHORT signal on the candle.
This script will be best used in addition to Elliott Waves Theory, which gives a more specific idea as to where a stock or crypto is at in its overall cycle. I encourage you to test it out and try different settings. If you have a request to unlock certain settings, please contact me.
The indicator isn't built to find bottoms or tops, won't trigger 100% of the time, but should see a high success rate when triggered on higher timeframes. After testing on several pairs/tickers (Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, DJI, SPX and others) on multiple timeframes I have seen the best results on 12-hour, Daily, 2-day, 3-day & weekly timeframes. The success criteria are as follows: Stop Loss not hitting before a rise of at least 10% in value for a long, or a loss of at least 10% in value for a short; waiting until the signal-candle closes for confirmation and back testing.
**Disclaimer: These recommendations are the result of back-tests and past results will never guarantee future performance of this script on any chart.**
The following screenshots illustrate the script activated on Crypto and Traditional stocks.
Basic HOWTO do certain things with the FSS Indicator:
Add the indicator: through Invite-only scripts, once you have secured access from the author.
Chose ticker & timeframe: The indicator should show up within a few seconds of changing either of these parameters.
Change SL variables:
- ATR Period: changes the candle range to calculate the stop loss: changing this is not recommended.
- ATR Multiplier: This directly affects the risk adjustment of the stop loss. Increasing this value will loosen the SL, decreasing this value will tighten the SL.

Investments/swing trading strategy for different assetsStop worrying about catching the lowest price, it's almost impossible!: with this trend-following strategy and protection from bearish phases, you will know how to enter the market properly to obtain benefits in the long term.
Backtesting context: 1899-11-01 to 2023-02-16 of SPX by Tvc. Commissions: 0.05% for each entry, 0.05% for each exit. Risk per trade: 2.5% of the total account
For this strategy, 5 indicators are used:
One Ema of 200 periods
Atr Stop loss indicator from Gatherio
Squeeze momentum indicator from LazyBear
Moving average convergence/divergence or Macd
Relative strength index or Rsi
Trade conditions:
There are three type of entries, one of them depends if we want to trade against a bearish trend or not.
---If we keep Against trend option deactivated, the rules for two type of entries are:---
First type of entry:
With the next rules, we will be able to entry in a pull back situation:
Squeeze momentum is under 0 line (red)
Close is above 200 Ema and close is higher than the past close
Histogram from macd is under 0 line and is higher than the past one
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
For closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
Second type of entry:
With the next rules, we will not lose a possible bullish movement:
Close is above 200 Ema
Squeeze momentum crosses under 0 line
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
Like in the past type of entry, for closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
---If we keep Against trend option activated, the rules are the same as the ones above, but with one more type of entry. This is more useful in weekly timeframes, but could also be used in daily time frame:---
Third type of entry:
Close is under 200 Ema
Squeeze momentum crosses under 0 line
Once these rules are met, we enter into a buy position. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point) and break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.
Like in the past type of entries, for closing this position: Squeeze momentum crosses over 0 and, until squeeze momentum crosses under 0, we close the position. Otherwise, we would have closed the position due to break even or stop loss.
Risk management
For calculating the amount of the position you will use just a small percent of your initial capital for the strategy and you will use the atr stop loss for this.
Example: You have 1000 usd and you just want to risk 2,5% of your account, there is a buy signal at price of 4,000 usd. The stop loss price from atr stop loss is 3,900. You calculate the distance in percent between 4,000 and 3,900. In this case, that distance would be of 2.50%. Then, you calculate your position by this way: (initial or current capital * risk per trade of your account) / (stop loss distance).
Using these values on the formula: (1000*2,5%)/(2,5%) = 1000usd. It means, you have to use 1000 usd for risking 2.5% of your account.
We will use this risk management for applying compound interest.
In settings, with position amount calculator, you can enter the amount in usd of your account and the amount in percentage for risking per trade of the account. You will see this value in green color in the upper left corner that shows the amount in usd to use for risking the specific percentage of your account.
Script functions
Inside of settings, you will find some utilities for display atr stop loss, break evens, positions, signals, indicators, etc.
You will find the settings for risk management at the end of the script if you want to change something. But rebember, do not change values from indicators, the idea is to not over optimize the strategy.
If you want to change the initial capital for backtest the strategy, go to properties, and also enter the commisions of your exchange and slippage for more realistic results.
If you activate break even using rsi, when rsi crosses under overbought zone break even will be activated. This can work in some assets.
---Important: In risk managment you can find an option called "Use leverage ?", activate this if you want to backtest using leverage, which means that in case of not having enough money for risking the % determined by you of your account using your initial capital, you will use leverage for using the enough amount for risking that % of your acount in a buy position. Otherwise, the amount will be limited by your initial/current capital---
Some things to consider
USE UNDER YOUR OWN RISK. PAST RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT THE FUTURE.
DEPENDING OF % ACCOUNT RISK PER TRADE, YOU COULD REQUIRE LEVERAGE FOR OPEN SOME POSITIONS, SO PLEASE, BE CAREFULL AND USE CORRECTLY THE RISK MANAGEMENT
Do not forget to change commissions and other parameters related with back testing results!

Harmonic Pattern Detection, Prediction, and Backtesting ToolOverview:
The ultimate harmonic XABCD pattern identification, prediction, and backtesting system.
Harmonic patterns are among the most accurate of trading signals, yet they're widely underutilized because they can be difficult to spot and tedious to validate. If you've ever come across a pattern and struggled with questions like "are these retracement ratios close enough to the harmonic ratios?" or "what are the Potential Reversal levels and are they confluent with point D?", then this tool is your new best friend. Or, if you've never traded harmonic patterns before, maybe it's time to start. Put away your drawing tools and calculators, relax, and let this indicator do the heavy lifting for you.
- Identification -
An exhaustive search across multiple pivot lengths ensures that even the sneakiest harmonic patterns are identified. Each pattern is evaluated and assigned a score, making it easy to differentiate weak patterns from strong ones. Tooltips under the pattern labels show a detailed breakdown of the pattern's score and retracement ratios (see the Scoring section below for details).
- Prediction -
After a pattern is identified, paths to potential targets are drawn, and Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) levels are plotted based on the retracement ratios of the harmonic pattern. Targets are customizable by pattern type (e.g. you can specify one set of targets for a Gartley and another for a Bat, etc).
- Backtesting -
A table shows the results of all the patterns found in the chart. Change your target, stop-loss, and % error inputs and observe how it affects your success rate.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Scoring
//------------------------------------------------------
A percentage-based score is calculated from four components:
(1) Retracement % Accuracy - this measures how closely the pattern's retracement ratios match the theoretical values (fibs) defined for a given harmonic pattern. You can change the "Allowed fib ratio error %" in Settings to be more or less inclusive.
(2) PRZ Level Confluence - Potential Reversal Zone levels are projected from retracements of the XA and BC legs. The PRZ Level Confluence component measures the closeness of the closest XA and BC retracement levels, relative to the total height of the PRZ.
(3) Point D / PRZ Confluence - this measures the closeness of point D to either of the closest two PRZ levels (identified in the PRZ Level Confluence component above), relative to the total height of the PRZ. In theory, the closer together these levels are, the higher the probability of a reversal.
(4) Leg Length Symmetry - this measures the ΔX symmetry of each leg. You can change the "Allowed leg length asymmetry %" in settings to be more or less inclusive.
So, a score of 100% would mean that (1) all leg retracements match the theoretical fib ratios exactly (to 16 decimal places), (2) the closest XA and BC PRZ levels are exactly the same, (3) point D is exactly at the confluent PRZ level, and (4) all legs are exactly the same number of bars. While this is theoretically possible, you have better odds of getting struck by lightning twice on a sunny day.
Calculation weights of all four components can be changed in Settings.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Targets
//------------------------------------------------------
A hard-coded set of targets are available to choose from, and can be applied to each pattern type individually:
(1) .618 XA = .618 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(2) 1.272 XA = 1.272 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(3) 1.618 XA = 1.618 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(4) .618 CD = .618 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(5) 1.272 CD = 1.272 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(6) 1.618 CD = 1.618 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(7) A = point A
(8) B = point B
(9) C = point C
//------------------------------------------------------
// Stops
//------------------------------------------------------
Stop-loss levels are also user-defined, in one of three ways:
(1) % beyond the furthest PRZ level (below the PRZ level for bullish patterns, and above for bearish)
(2) % beyond point D
(3) % of distance to Target 1, beyond point D. This method allows for a proper Risk:Reward approach by defining your potential losses as a percentage of the potential gains. This is the default.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Results Table / Backtesting Statistics
//------------------------------------------------------
To properly assess the effectiveness of a specific pattern type, a time limit is enforced for a completed pattern to reach the targets or the stop level. When this time limit expires, the pattern has "timed out", and is no longer considered in the Success Rate statistics. During the time limit period, if price reaches Target 1 before reaching the Stop level, the pattern is considered successful. Conversely, if price reaches the Stop level before reaching Target 1, the pattern is considered a failure. The time limit can be changed in Settings, and is defined in terms of the total pattern length (point X to point D). It is set to 1.5 by default.
Increasing the time limit value will give you more realistic Success Rate values, but will less accurately represent the success rate of the harmonic patterns (i.e. the more time that elapses after a pattern completes, the less likely it is that the price action is related to that pattern).
//------------------------------------------------------
// Coming soon...
//------------------------------------------------------
I have a handful of other features in development, including:
(1) Drawing incomplete patterns as they develop. This will allow you more time to plan entries and stops, or potentially trade reversals from point C to point D PRZ levels.
(2) Support for the Shark and Cypher patterns
(3) Alerts
Please report any bugs, runtime errors, other issues or enhancement suggestions.
I also welcome any feedback from experienced harmonic pattern traders, especially regarding your strategy for setting targets and stop-losses.

Bitcoin (BTC) Scalp / Short-term Short IndicatorThe purpose of this scalping Indicator is to help identifying Sell signals for short term trades on Bitcoin (Spot, Features, etc.) .
This script is working with more indicators and everything is balanced by hard work on (back)testing.
Result for users is a simple signal to SELL.
You can use it as easy indicator in your graph or create alerts.
I have the best results on 1min graph, with leverage and stop-loss feature.
This is my own version of scalping Sell Script / Indicator, which is a combination of few indicators, for example RSI , BB and price levels (actual and average) and works on standard candles.
SELL signal paints above the candle and you can set your target / trailing / stop-loss in the settings and check how it works in Strategy Tester.
Settings of this Indicator:
Take Profit
Stop Loss
Trailing Stop Loss
Trailing Stop Loss Offset
Initial Capital
Base Currency
Order size
Pyramiding
Commissions
Slippage
Average price lines (colors and visibility)
Plot background
These signals can be often observed at the beginning of a strong move, but there is a significant probability that these price levels will be revisited at a later point in time again.
Therefore these are interesting levels to place limit orders.
A Sell signal is defined as the last up candle before a sequence of down candles.
In my trading settings I have more but small positions, one safety limit order (for price averaging = better entry - easier close in profit) and stop-loss.
Sometimes trailing-profit feature have very nice profits.
Settings depends on your own money-management and free capital.
Don't ignore UP / DOWN trend. For UP trend I have an Indicator too (check my profile).
In addition to the upper/lower limits of each line, also average value is marked as this is an interesting area for price interaction and better view.

Grid Like StrategyIt is possible to use progressive position sizing in order to recover from past losses, a well-known position sizing system being the "martingale", which consists of doubling your position size after a loss, this allows you to recover any previous losses in a losing streak + winning an extra. This system has seen a lot of attention from the trading community (mostly from beginners), and many strategies have been designed around the martingale, one of them being "grid trading strategies".
While such strategies often shows promising results on paper, they are often subjects to many frictions during live trading that makes them totally unusable and dangerous to the trader. The motivations behind posting such a strategy isn't to glorify such systems, but rather to present the problems behind them, many users come to me with their ideas and glorious ways to make money, sometimes they present strategies using the martingale, and it is important to present the flaws of this methodology rather than blindly saying "you shouldn't use it".
Strategy Settings
Point determines the "grid" size and should be adjusted accordingly to the scale of the symbol you are applying the strategy to. Higher value would require larger price movements in order to trigger a trade, as such higher values will generate fewer trades.
The order size determines the number of contracts/shares to purchase.
The martingale multiplier determines the factor by which the position size is multiplied after a loss, using values higher to 2 will "squarify" your balance, while a value of 1 would use a constant position sizing.
Finally, the anti-martingale parameter determines whether the strategy uses a reverse martingale or not, if set to true then the position size is multiplied after any wins.
The Grid
Grid strategies are commons and do not present huge problems until we use certain position sizing methods such as the martingale. A martingale is extremely sensitive to any kind of friction (frictional costs, slippage...etc), the grid strategy aims to provide a stable and simple environment where a martingale might possibly behave well.
The goal of a simple grid strategy is to go long once the price crossover a certain level, a take profit is set at the level above the current one and stop loss is placed at the level below the current one, in a winning scenario the price reach the take profit, the position is closed and a new one is opened with the same setup. In a losing scenario, the price reaches the stop loss level, the position is closed and a short one is opened, the take profit is set at the level below the current one, and a stop loss is set at the level above the current one. Note that all levels are equally spaced.
It follows from this strategy that wins and losses should be constant over time, as such our balance would evolve in a linear fashion. This is a great setup for a martingale, as we are theoretically assured to recover all the looses in a losing streak.
Martingale - Exponential Decays - Risk/Reward
By using a martingale we double our position size (exposure) each time we lose a trade, if we look at our balance when using a martingale we see significant drawdowns, with our balance peaking down significantly. The martingale sequence is subject to exponential growth, as such using a martingale makes our balance exposed to exponential decays, that's really bad, we could basically lose all the initially invested capital in a short amount of time, it follows from this that the theoretical success of a martingale is determined by what is the maximum losing streak you can endure
Now consider how a martingale affects our risk-reward ratio, assuming unity position sizing our martingale sequence can be described by 2^(x-1) , using this formula we would get the amount of shares/contracts we need to purchase at the x trade of a losing streak, we would need to purchase 256 contracts in order to recover from a losing streak of size 9, this is enormous when you take into account that your wins are way smaller, the risk-reward ratio is totally unfair.
Of course, some users might think that a losing streak of size 9 is pretty unlikely, if the probability of winning and losing are both equal to 0.5, then the probability of 9 consecutive losses is equal to 0.5^9 , there are approximately 0.2% of chance of having such large losing streak, note however that under a ranging market such case scenario could happen, but we will see later that the length of a losing streak is not the only problem.
Other Problems
Having a capital large enough to tank 9any number of consecutive losses is not the only thing one should focus on, as we have to take into account market prices and trading dynamics, that's where the ugly part start.
Our first problem is frictional costs, one example being the spread, but this is a common problem for any strategy, however here a martingale is extra sensitive to it, if the strategy does not account for it then we will still double our positions costs but we might not recover all the losses of a losing streak, instead we would be recovering only a proportion of it, under such scenario you would be certain to lose over time.
Another problem are gaps, market price might open under a stop-loss without triggering it, and this is a big no-no.
Equity of the strategy on AMD, in a desired scenario the equity at the second arrow should have been at a higher position than the equity at the first arrow.
In order for the strategy to be more effective, we would need to trade a market that does not close, such as the cryptocurrency market. Finally, we might be affected by slippage, altho only extreme values might drastically affect our balance.
The Anti Martingale
The strategy lets you use an anti-martingale, which double the position size after a win instead of a loss, the goal here is not to recover from a losing strike but instead to profit from a potential winning streak.
Here we are exposing your balance to exponential gross but you might also lose a trade at the end a winning streak, you will generally want to reinitialize your position size after a few wins instead of waiting for the end of a streak.
Alternative
You can use other-kind of progressions for position sizing, such as a linear one, increasing your position size by a constant number each time you lose. More gentle progressions will recover a proportion of your losses in a losing streak.
You can also simulate the effect of a martingale without doubling your position size by doubling your target profit, if for example you have a 10$ profit-target/stop-loss and lose a trade, you can use a 20$ profit target to recover from the lost trade + gain a profit of 10$. While this approach does not introduce exponential decay in your balance, you are betting on the market reaching your take profits, considering the fact that you are doubling their size you are expecting market volatility to increase drastically over time, as such this approach would not be extremely effective for high losing streak.
Conclusion
You will see a lot of auto-trading strategies that are based on a grid approach, they might even use a martingale. While the backtests will look appealing, you should think twice before using such kind of strategy, remember that frictional costs will be a huge challenge for the strategy, and that it assumes that the trader has an important initial capital. We have also seen that the risk/reward ratio is theoretically the worst you can have on a strategy, having a low reward and a high risk. This does not mean that progressive position sizing is bad, but it should not be pushed to the extreme.
It is nice to note that the martingale is originally a betting system designed for casino games, which unlike trading are not subject to frictional costs, but even casino players don't use it, so why would you?
Thx for reading
TradeChartist Plug and Trade™TradeChartist Plug and Trade is an extremely useful indicator that can be connected to almost any Study script (not a Strategy) on Trading View (with an Oscillatory or Non-Oscillatory Signal plot) to generate Trade Signals with Stop Loss plot, user set or automatic Target plots and create Alerts based on Past Performance, determined by Past Gains/Drawdowns for each Trade. The indicator is packed with a lot of features including TradeChartist's signature Dashboard and Real-time Gains Tracker, Automatic Targets Generator, Take Profit recommendation, option to paint price bars based on Trade/Price Trend, 3 types of Stop Loss plots to choose from, with option for user to set fixed Target to take profits.
1. How does ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade connect to another Study script/indicator signal?
Plug and Trade is elegantly designed with simplicity in mind, without compromising on functionality, so any trader - beginner to advanced, can just plug an external signal to the indicator with ease by just following these simple steps.
Add to price chart, the Indicator along with the signal plot to be tested and assessed for performance.
Plug the signal into ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade by choosing it from the Plug Signal Here drop-down.
Choose Signal type as Oscillatory if signal oscillates between set values or crosses a certain value periodically (Example: RSI, CCI, TRIX etc that are mostly not overlayed on Price chart and may be in a separate pane from price chart as it may not fit on Price scale), Choose Signal Type as Non Oscillatory if the signal can be plotted on price scale and Trades are normally generated when price crosses above or below it (Moving Averages, SAR indicators like SuperTrend, etc.).
For oscillators, default Oscillator value for Trade Signals is 0 as most Oscillators have 0 as their mid point. The value can be changed if the Signal doesn't oscillate with 0 as its mid point. For example, if the connected Signal is RSI, the values can be changed to Upper and Lower band values to generate Trade Signals.
Plot the Signal on chart if the signal is Non Oscillatory.
2. How can the plugged Signal's performance be assessed using ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade and subsequently used for generating Trade Entries and to create Alerts?
Once the Signal is plugged into the indicator based on steps above, Plug and Trade automatically plots the Trade entries based on the Signal type.
Plot Trade Entries after Bar Close from settings can be checked for signals that do not confirm until bar close. By doing this, repainting can be avoided for most signals and true performance can be assessed. Also, alerts can be created using Once Per Bar rather than Once Per Bar Close .
The real-time Gains Tracker and Dashboard are useful in tracking gains and other useful indicator values like RSI, Stoch, ATR and EMA in real-time with price movement.
Enabling Past Performance from settings will plot Maximum Gains achieved and Maximum Drawdown for each trade as labels . Trading View only plots finite number of labels and old labels are deleted automatically. But to access past performance beyond the last available label, bar replay can be used.
User can choose from 3 types of Stop Losses from the settings - Fixed %, Trailing % and ATR Stop Loss namely and a Fixed TP % to create plots on price chart and to create alerts.
If the user prefers automatic targets based on Trade entries, Recommend Targets can be enabled from the settings. The automatic targets are generated at the time of Trade Entry, along with Target prices and % which turn green when hit.
Each BUY and SELL Trade are tracked in its entirety and the highest high since BUY and lowest low since SELL are plotted on the price chart and also displayed on the Plug and Play Dashboard
Choppiness can be easily spotted if there are numerous Past Performance labels or several Trade Entries around a short timeframe on chart. This may mean that the signal needs smoothing or may not be suitable for the asset to trade on the chart timeframe. Suitability of a Study script for the asset can be determined in many ways using this indicator.
3. What other features are included in ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade?
Enabling Spot Price Bars to take Profit option from settings automatically plots $ sign above/below candles where Profit taking is recommended or Stop Loss moved to secure profits/reduce loss.
Enabling Paint Price Bars with Trade Trend paints price bars with colors that help picture Trade/Price trend. Trend spotting using this works best with (bars/hollow candles/candles with no border) on dark background.
Both features work on Price chart even without any Signal plugged in.
===================================================================================================================

5m Exit AlertsThese can help a lot with Daytrading if you don't have a price target in mind when there's no clear resistance / support nearby, and you don't trust the market enough to hold it as a swing trade.
Keep in mind that its main purpose is to give you a "warning" that it might be good to look at your screen, instead of guaranteeing you "now is the best time to exit". You won't reach high winning stats by blindly following this alert.
"A Exit LONG":
(I'm using letters instead of numbers for all Exit alerts to make sure I don't accidentally confuse Enter and Exit alerts).
There are 4 conditions that might trigger it. The reasons show up in the exit alert message (unfortunately only as a number, since alert messages can't have "dynamic text" in TradingView), and can also be displayed as symbols in the chart (see image above - make sure to enable "Show Signals" in the indicator settings first though).
Here are the conditions sorted from best to worst:
Technical reversal: Bearish Hammer candle with Volume > 2 * avg volume (of last 30 candles), when 5m candle closed. Reversal very likely. This is usually the best time to take your gains for the rest of the day.
EMA 3/8 cross: standard 5m EMA 3/8 cross, indicating a trend reversal, or at least a pullback. Can also be helpful to detect double tops / double bottoms.
Trailing Stop Loss: Crossed below 30m EMA 8, 5m candle closed. This is a "fallback" alert in case EMA 3 was already below EMA 8 before you set up the alert. It's not unlikely that the stock might go further down to VWAP, so depending on the chart and market this might be a good opportunity to save the gains you have left.
"Final" Stop Loss: Crossed below VWAP. Usually not a good sign. If you entered around VWAP your losses shouldn't be big yet, but if you plan on holding the stock the Daily chart and market outlook should better be quite convincing, and you wouldn't have needed to use this alert in the first place.
Keep in mind these work of course best if you picked a "good" stock: clear movement, tidy price action, high volume. Otherwise alerts are more likely to be triggered redundantly.
Always consider how the market and stock looks like, then decide whether to exit or not! Usually it makes sense to wait a bit to see f. e. whether the stock bounces off the 30m EMA 8, and it's just a pullback.
"B Enter SHORT":
Similar, but for shorts...
"C 1m Scalp LONG" + "D 1m Scalp SHORT":
Simple Scalping alert for EMA 3/8 cross on a 1m chart - but without needing to use a 1m chart to set it up!
Unfortunately it's not as accurate as manually setting this alert up on a 1m chart. It might be an advantage though that it sometimes is triggered 1-2 min later, since this means there are less redundant triggerings.
It can be useful esp. on high momentum trades, but I honestly haven't used it in a looong while.
"X Candle Close":
same as in 5m Entry indicator: triggered when 5m candle is confirmed
"Z Trend Change: UP" + "Z Trend Change: DOWN":
This one is meant to be used only on SPY: It alerts you when SPY is changing its trending direction, which might mean entering or closing existing trades.
I have therefore set it up to never end (by setting it to "Once Per Bar Close" in the alert settings).
It's based on DMI positive or negative being > 25. I had it based on VWAP at the beginning, but there were days where it was triggered every 5 minutes...

Trend MasterOverview
The Strategy is a trend-following trading system designed for forex, stocks, or other markets on TradingView. It uses pivot points to identify support and resistance levels, combined with a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to filter trades. The strategy enters long or short positions based on trend reversals during specific trading sessions (London or New York). It incorporates robust risk management, including position sizing based on risk percentage or fixed amount, trailing stop-losses, breakeven moves, and weekly/monthly profit/loss limits to prevent overtrading.
This script is ideal for traders who want a semi-automated approach with visual aids like colored session backgrounds, support/resistance lines, and a performance dashboard. It supports backtesting from a custom start date and can limit trades to one per session for discipline. Alerts are built-in for entries, exits, and stop-loss adjustments, making it compatible with automated trading bots.
Key Benefits:
Trend Reversal Detection: Spots higher highs/lows and lower highs/lows to confirm trend changes.
Session Filtering: Trades only during high-liquidity sessions to avoid choppy markets.
Risk Control: Automatically calculates position sizes to risk only a set percentage or dollar amount per trade.
Performance Tracking: Displays a table of weekly or monthly P&L (profit and loss) with color-coded heatmaps for easy review.
Customizable: Adjust trade direction, risk levels, take-profit ratios, and more via inputs.
The strategy uses a 1:1.2 risk-reward ratio by default but can be tweaked.
How It Works
Trend Identification:
The script calculates pivot highs and lows using left (4) and right (2) bars to detect swing points.
It identifies patterns like Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) to determine the trend direction (uptrend if above resistance, downtrend if below support).
Support (green dotted lines) and resistance (red dotted lines) are drawn dynamically and update on trend changes.
Bars are colored blue (uptrend) or black (downtrend) for visual clarity.
Entry Signals:
Long Entry: Price closes above the 200 EMA, trend shifts from down to up (e.g., breaking resistance), during an active session (London or NY), and no trade has been taken that session (if enabled).
Short Entry: Price closes below the 200 EMA, trend shifts from up to down (e.g., breaking support), during an active session, and no prior trade that session.
Trades can be restricted to "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both."
Entries are filtered by a start date (e.g., from January 2022) and optional month-specific testing.
Position Sizing and Risk:
Risk per trade: Either a fixed dollar amount (e.g., $500) or percentage of equity (e.g., 1%).
Quantity is calculated as: Risk Amount / (Entry Price - Stop-Loss Price).
This ensures you never risk more than intended, regardless of market volatility.
Stop-Loss (SL) and Take-Profit (TP):
SL for Longs: Set below the recent support level, adjustable by a "reduce value" (e.g., tighten by 0-90%) and gap (e.g., add a buffer).
SL for Shorts: Set above the recent resistance level, with similar adjustments.
TP: Based on risk-reward ratio (default 1.2:1), so if SL is 100 pips away, TP is 120 pips in profit.
Visual boxes show SL (red) and TP (green) on the chart for the next 4 bars after entry.
Trade Management:
Trailing SL: Automatically moves SL to the new support (longs) or resistance (shorts) if it tightens the stop without increasing risk.
Breakeven Move: If enabled, SL moves to entry price once profit reaches a set ratio of initial risk (default 1:1). For example, if risk was 1%, SL moves to breakeven at 1% profit.
One Trade Per Session: Prevents multiple entries in the same London or NY session to avoid overtrading.
Sessions include optional weekend inclusion and are highlighted (blue for London, green for NY).
Risk Limits (Weekly/Monthly):
Monitors P&L for the current week or month.
Stops trading if losses hit a limit (e.g., -3%) or profits reach a target (e.g., +7%).
Resets at the start of each new week/month.
Alerts notify when limits are hit.
Exits:
Trades exit at TP, SL, or manually via alerts.
No time-based exits; relies on price action.
Performance Dashboard:
A customizable table (position, size, colors) shows P&L percentages for each week/month in a grid.
Rows = Years, Columns = Weeks (1-52) or Months (1-12).
Color scaling: Green for profits (darker for bigger wins), red for losses (darker for bigger losses).
Yearly totals in the last column.
Helps visualize strategy performance over time without manual calculations.

Breakout Range Signal with Quality Analysis [Dova Lazarus]📌 Breakout Range Signal with Quality Analysis
🎓 Training-focused indicator for breakout logic, SL & TP behavior and signal quality assessment
🔷 PURPOSE
This tool identifies breakout candles from a calculated channel range and visually simulates entries, stop losses, and take profits, providing live and historical performance metrics.
⚙️ MAIN SETTINGS
1️⃣ Channel Setup
channel_length = 10 → how many candles are averaged to form channel boundaries
channel_multiplier = 0.0 → adds expansion above/below the base channel
channel_smoothing_type = SMA → smoothing method for high/low averaging
📊 The channel consists of two moving averages: one from highs, the other from lows. When expanded (via multiplier), it creates a buffer range for breakout validation.
2️⃣ Signal Detection
Body > Channel % = 50 → a breakout candle's body must exceed 150% of the channel width
Signal Mode:
• Weak → every valid breakout candle is highlighted
• Strong → only the first signal in a sequence is shown (helps reduce noise)
🟦 Bullish signals (blue):
• Candle opens inside the channel
• Closes above the channel
• Body is large enough
• Optional: confirms with trend (if enabled)
🟨 Bearish signals (yellow):
• Candle opens inside the channel
• Closes below the channel
• Body is large enough
• Optional: confirms with trend
3️⃣ Trend Filter (optional)
Enabled via checkbox
Uses a higher timeframe MA to filter signals
Bullish signals are allowed only if price is below the trend MA
Bearish signals only if price is above it
⏱️ trend_timeframe = 1D (typically set higher than the chart's timeframe)
🟢 Trend line is plotted if enabled
🎯 ENTRY, STOP LOSS & TAKE PROFIT LOGIC
SL and TP are based on channel width, not fixed pip/tick size:
📍 Entry Price = close of the breakout candle
🛑 Stop Loss:
• Bullish → below the lower channel border (minus offset)
• Bearish → above the upper channel border (plus offset)
🎯 Take Profit:
• Bullish → entry + channel width × profit multiplier
• Bearish → entry − channel width × profit multiplier
You can control:
Profit Target Multiplier (e.g., 1.0 → TP = 1×channel width)
Stop Loss Target Multiplier (e.g., 0.5 → SL = 0.5×channel width)
Signals to Show = how many historical SL/TP setups to display
📈 Lines and labels ("TP", "SL") are drawn on the chart for clarity.
🧪 QUALITY ANALYSIS MODULE
If enabled, the indicator will:
Track each new signal (entry, SL, TP)
Analyze outcomes:
• Win = TP hit before SL
• Loss = SL hit before TP
• Expired = signal unresolved after N bars
Display statistics in a table (top-right corner):
📋 Table fields:
✅ Overall win rate
📈 Bullish win rate
📉 Bearish win rate
🔢 Total signals
🕓 Pending (still active trades)
Maximum bars to wait for outcome is customizable (max_bars_to_analyze).
📐 VISUALIZATION TOOLS
TP / SL lines per signal
Labels “TP” and “SL”
Optional channel lines and trendline for better context
Colored bars for valid signals (blue/yellow)
📌 BEST USE CASES
Understand how breakout signals are formed
Learn SL/TP logic based on dynamic range

Bear Market Defender [QuantraSystems]Bear Market Defender
A system to short Altcoins when BTC is ranging or falling - benefit from Altcoin bleed or collapse .
QuantraSystems guarantees that the information created and published within this document and on the TradingView platform is fully compliant with applicable regulations, does not constitute investment advice, and is not exclusively intended for qualified investors.
Important Note!
The system equity curve presented here has been generated as part of the process of testing and verifying the methodology behind this script.
Crucially, it was developed after the system was conceptualized, designed, and created, which helps to mitigate the risk of overfitting to historical data. In other words, the system was built for robustness, not for simply optimizing past performance.
This ensures that the system is less likely to degrade in performance over time, compared to hyper-optimized systems that are tailored to past data. No tweaks or optimizations were made to this system post-backtest.
Even More Important Note!!
The nature of markets is that they change quickly and unpredictably. Past performance does not guarantee future results - this is a fundamental rule in trading and investing.
While this system is designed with broad, flexible conditions to adapt quickly to a range of market environments, it is essential to understand that no assumptions should be made about future returns based on historical data. Markets are inherently uncertain, and this system - like all trading systems - cannot predict future outcomes.
INTRODUCTION TO THE STAR FRAMEWORK
The STAR Framework – an abbreviation for Strategic Trading with Adaptive Risk - is a bespoke portfolio-level infrastructure for dynamic, multi-asset crypto trading systems. It combines systematic position management, adaptive sizing, and “intra-system” diversification, all built on a rigorous foundation of Risk-based position sizing .
At its core, STAR is designed to facilitate:
Adaptive position sizing based on user-defined maximum portfolio risk
Capital allocation across multiple assets with dynamic weight adjustment
Execution-aware trading with robust fee and slippage adjustment
Realistic equity curve logic based on a compounding realized PnL and additive unrealized PnL
The STAR Framework is intended for use as both a standalone portfolio system or preferred as a modular component within a broader trading “global portfolio” - delivering a balance of robustness and scalability across strategy types, timeframes, and market regimes.
RISK ALLOCATION VIA "R" CALCULATIONS
The foundational concept behind STAR is the use of the R unit - a dynamic representation of risk per trade. R is defined by the distance between a trade's entry and its stoploss, making it an intuitive and universally adaptive sizing unit across any token, timeframe, or market.
Example: Suppose the entry price is $100, and the stoploss is $95. A $5 move against the position represents a 1R loss. A 15% price increase to $115 would equal a +3R gain.
This makes R-based systems highly flexible: the user defines the percentage of capital that is put at risk per R and all positions are scaled accordingly - whether the token is volatile, illiquid, or slow-moving.
R is an advantageous method for determine position sizing - instead of being tied to complex value at risk mechanisms with having layered exit criteria, or continuous volatility-based sizing criteria that need to be adjusted while in an open trade, R allows for very straightforward sizing, invalidation and especially risk control – which is the most fundamental.
REALIZED BALANCE, FEES & SLIPPAGE ACCOUNTING
All position sizing, risk metrics, and the base equity curve within STAR are calculated based on realized balance only .
This means:
No sizing adjustments are made based on unrealized profit and loss ✅
No active positions are included in the system's realized equity until fully closed ✅
Every trade is sized precisely according to current locked-in realized portfolio balance ✅
This creates the safest risk profile - especially when multiple trades are open. Unrealized gains are not used to inflate sizing, ensuring margin safety across all assets.
All calculations also incorporate slippage and fees, based on user-defined estimates – which can and should be based upon user-collected data - and updated frequently forwards in time. These are not cosmetic, or simply applied to the final equity curve - they are fully integrated into the dynamic position sizing and equity performance , ensuring:
Stoploss hits result in exactly a −1R loss, even after slippage and fees ✅
Winners are discounted based on realistic execution costs ✅
No trade is oversized due to unaccounted execution costs ✅
Example - Slippage in R Units:
Let R be defined as the distance from entry to stoploss.
Suppose that distance is $1, and the trade is closed at a win of +$2.
If execution slippage leads to a 50 cent worse entry and a 50 cent worse exit, you’ve lost $1 extra - which is an additional 1R in execution slippage. This makes the effective return 1.0R instead of the intended 2.0R.
This is equivalent to a slippage value of 50%.
Thus, slippage in STAR is tracked and modelled on an R-adjusted basis , enabling more accurate long-term performance modelling.
MULTI-ASSET, LONG/SHORT SUPPORT
STAR supports concurrent long and short positions across multiple tokens. This can sometimes result in partially hedged exposure - for example, being long one asset and short another.
This structure has key benefits:
Diversifies idiosyncratic risk by distributing exposure across multiple tokens
Allows simultaneous exploitation of relative strength and weakness
Reduces portfolio volatility via natural hedging during reduced trending periods
Even in a highly correlated market like crypto, short-term momentum behaviour often varies between tokens - making diversified, multi-directional exposure a strategic advantage .
EQUITY CURVE
The STAR framework only updates the underlying realized equity when a position is closed, and the trade outcome is known. This approach ensures:
True representation of actual capital available for trading
No exposure distortion due to unrealized gains
Risk remains tightly linked to realized results
This trade-to-trade basis for realized equity modelling eliminates the common pitfall of overallocation based on unrealized profits.
The visual equity curve represents an accurate visualization of the Total Equity however, which is equivalent to what would be the realized equity if all trades were closed on the prior bar close.
TIMEFRAME CONSIDERATIONS
Lower timeframes typically yield better performance for STAR due to:
Greater data density per day - more observations = better statistical inference
Faster compounding - more trades per week = faster capital rotation
However, lower timeframes also suffer from increased slippage and fees. STAR's execution-aware structure helps mitigate this, but users must still choose timeframes appropriate to their liquidity, costs, and operational availability.
INPUT OPTIONS
Fees (direct trading costs - the percentage of capital removed from the initial position size)
Slippage (execution delay, as a percentage. In practice, the fill price is often worse than the signal price. This directly affects R and hence position sizing)
Risk % ( Please note : this is the risk level if every position is opened at once. 5% risk for 5 assets is 1% risk per position)
System Start date
Float Precision value of displayed numbers
Table visualization - positioning and table sizes
Adjustable color options
VISUAL SIMPLICITY
To avoid usual unnecessary complexity and empower fast at-a-glance action taking, as well as enable mobile compatibility, only the most relevant information is presented.
This includes all information required to open positions in one table.
As well as a quick and straightforward overview for the system stats
Lastly, there is an optional table that can be enabled
displaying more detailed information if desired:
USAGE GUIDELINES
To use STAR effectively:
Input your average slippage and fees %
Input your maximum portfolio risk % (this controls overall leverage and is equivalent to the maximum loss that the allocation to STAR would bring if ALL positions are allocated AND hit their stop loss at the same time)
Wait for signal alerts with entry, stop, and size details
STAR will dynamically calculate sizing, risk exposure, and portfolio allocation on your behalf. Position multipliers, stop placement, and asset-specific risk are all embedded in the system logic.
Note: Leverage must be manually set to ISOLATED on your exchange platform to prevent unwanted position linking.
ABOUT THE BEAR MARKET DEFENDER STRATEGY
The first strategy to launch on the STAR Framework is the BEAR MARKET DEFENDER (BMD) - a fast-acting, trend following system based upon the Trend Titan NEUTRONSTAR. For the details of the logic behind NEUTRONSTAR, please refer to the methodology and trend aggregation section of the following indicator:
The BMD ’s short side exit calculation methodology is slightly improved compared to NEUTRONSTAR, to capture downtrends more consistently and also cut positions faster – which is crucial when considering general jump risk in the Crypto space.
Accordingly, the only focus of the BMD is to capture trends to the short side, providing the benefit of being in a spectrum from no correlation to being negatively correlated in risk and return behavior to classical Crypto long exposure.
More precisely, Crypto behavior showcases that when Bitcoin is in a ranging/mean reverting environment, most tokens that don’t fall into the “Blue-Chip” category tend to find themselves in a trend towards 0.
Typically during this period most Crypto portfolios suffer heavily due to a “Crypto-long” biased exposure.
The Bear Market Defender thrives in these chaotic, high volatility markets where most coins trend towards zero while the traditional Crypto long exposure is either flat or in a drawdown, therefore the BMD adds a source of uncorrelated risk and returns to hedge typical long exposure and bolster portfolio volatility.
Because of the BMD's short-only exposure, it will often suffer small losses during strong uptrends. During these periods, long exposure performs the best and the goal is to outperform the temporary underperformance in the BMD .
To take advantage of the abovementioned behavior of most tokens trending to zero, assets traded in the BMD are systematically updated on a quarterly basis with available liquidity being an important consideration for the tokens to be eligible for selection.
FINAL SUMMARY
The STAR Framework represents a new generation of portfolio grade trading infrastructure, built around disciplined execution, realized equity, and adaptive position sizing. It is designed to support any number of future methodologies - beginning with BMD .
The Bear Market Defender is here to hedge out commonly long biased portfolio allocations in the Crypto market, specializing in bringing uncorrelated returns during periods of sideways price action on Bitcoin, or whole-market downturns.
Together, STAR + BMD deliver a scalable, volatility tuned system that prioritizes capital preservation, signal accuracy, and adaptive risk allocation. Whether deployed standalone or within a broader portfolio, this framework is engineered for high performance, longevity, and adaptability in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.

Traders need this because it’s a plug-and-play system that blends beginner-friendly simplicity with pro-level market awareness. Whether you’re just starting or scalping 5min MNQ, this strat’s your key to trading with confidence and style.
Strategy Components
1. Core Signal Logic (High-Speed Momentum)
The strategy’s engine is a momentum-based system using fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), now tuned for faster, more frequent trades.
How It Works:
Fast/Slow EMAs: Fast EMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 7, Conservative: 9 bars) and slow EMA (12/14/18 bars) track short-term vs. longer-term momentum.
Crossover Signals:
Buy: Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, and trend_dir = 1 (fast EMA > slow EMA + ATR * strength threshold).
Sell: Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, and trend_dir = -1 (fast EMA < slow EMA - ATR * strength threshold).
Strength Filter: ma_strength = fast EMA - slow EMA must exceed an ATR-scaled threshold (Aggressive: 0.15, Balanced: 0.18, Conservative: 0.25) for robust signals.
Trend Direction: trend_dir confirms momentum, filtering out weak crossovers in choppy markets.
Evolution:
Faster EMAs (down from 7–10/21–50) catch short-term trends, perfect for active futures markets.
Lower strength thresholds (0.15–0.25 vs. 0.3–0.5) make signals more sensitive, boosting trade frequency without sacrificing quality.
Preset tuning ensures beginners get optimized settings, while pros can tweak via mode selection.
2. Market Sentiment Filters
The strategy leans hard into market sentiment with a VIX filter, SPX trend analysis, and sector breadth visuals, keeping trades aligned with the big picture.
VIX Filter:
Logic: Blocks long entries if VIX > threshold (default: 20, can_long = vix_close < vix_limit). Shorts are always allowed (can_short = true).
Impact: Prevents longs during high-fear markets (e.g., VIX spikes in crashes), while allowing shorts to capitalize on downturns.
SPX Trend Filter:
Logic: Compares S&P 500 (SPX) close to its SMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 8, Conservative: 12 bars). spx_trend = 1 (UP) if close > SMA, -1 (DOWN) if < SMA, 0 (FLAT) if neutral.
Impact: Provides dashboard context, encouraging trades that align with market direction (e.g., longs in UP trend).
Sector Breadth (Visual):
Logic: Tracks 10 sector ETFs (XLK, XLF, XLE, etc.) vs. their SMAs (same lengths as SPX). Each sector scores +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral), summed as breadth (-10 to +10).
Display: Green background if breadth > 4, red if breadth < -4, else neutral. Dashboard shows sector trends (↑/↓/-).
Impact: Faster SMA lengths make breadth more responsive, reflecting sector rotations (e.g., tech surging, energy lagging).
Why It’s Brilliant:
- VIX filter adds pro-level volatility awareness, saving beginners from panic-driven losses.
- SPX and sector breadth give a 360° view of market health, boosting signal confidence (e.g., green BG + buy signal = high-probability trade).
- Shorter SMAs make sentiment visuals react faster, perfect for 5min charts.
3. Risk Management
The risk controls are a fortress, now tighter and more dynamic to support frequent trading while keeping accounts safe.
Preset-Based Risk:
Aggressive: Fast EMAs (5/12), tight stops (1.1x ATR), 1-bar cooldown. High trade frequency, higher risk.
Balanced: EMAs (7/14), 1.2x ATR stops, 1-bar cooldown. Versatile for most traders.
Conservative: EMAs (9/18), 1.3x ATR stops, 2-bar cooldown. Safer, fewer trades.
Impact: Auto-scales risk to match style, making it foolproof for beginners.
Adaptive Stops and Take-Profits:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * atr_mult (1.1–1.3x, down from 1.2–2.0x). Take-profits = entry ± ATR * take_mult (2x stop distance, 2:1 reward/risk). Longs: stop below entry, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Tighter stops increase trade turnover while maintaining solid risk/reward, adapting to volatility.
Trade Cooldown:
Logic: Preset-driven (Aggressive/Balanced: 1 bar, Conservative: 2 bars vs. old user-input 2). Ensures bar_index - last_trade_bar >= cooldown.
Impact: Faster cooldowns (especially Aggressive/Balanced) allow more trades, balanced by VIX and strength filters.
Contract Sizing:
Logic: User sets contracts (default: 1, max: 10), no preset cap (unlike old 7/5/3 suggestion).
Impact: Flexible but risks over-leverage; beginners should stick to low contracts.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Tighter stops and faster cooldowns make it a high-octane system without blowing up accounts.
- Preset-driven risk removes guesswork, letting newbies trade confidently.
- 2:1 TPs ensure profitable trades outweigh losses, even in volatile sessions like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are simple yet razor-sharp, now with VIX filtering and faster signals:
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: buy_signal (fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, trend_dir = 1), no position (strategy.position_size = 0), cooldown passed (can_trade), and VIX < 20 (can_long). Enters with user-defined contracts.
Short Entry: sell_signal (fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, trend_dir = -1), no position, cooldown passed, can_short (always true).
Logic: Tracks last_entry_bar for visuals, last_trade_bar for cooldowns.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: ATR-based stops (1.1–1.3x) and TPs (2x stop distance). Longs exit if price hits stop (below) or TP (above); shorts vice versa.
No Other Exits: Keeps it straightforward, relying on stops/TPs.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending clean function with informative metrics utilized by professionals, now enhanced by faster signals and a responsive breadth background:
EMA Plots:
Display: Fast EMA (blue, 2px), slow EMA (orange, 2px), using faster lengths (5–9/12–18).
Purpose: Highlights momentum shifts, with crossovers signaling entries.
Sector Breadth Background:
Display: Green (90% transparent) if breadth > 4, red (90%) if breadth < -4, else neutral.
Purpose: Faster breadth_sma_len (5–12 vs. 10–50) reflects sector shifts in real-time, reinforcing signal strength.
- Visuals are intuitive, turning complex signals into clear buy/sell cues.
- Faster breadth background reacts to market rotations (e.g., tech vs. energy), giving a pro-level edge.
6. Sector Breadth Dashboard
The new bottom-left dashboard is a game-changer, a 3x16 table (black/gray theme) that’s your market command center:
Metrics:
VIX: Current VIX (red if > 20, gray if not).
SPX: Trend as “UP” (green), “DOWN” (red), or “FLAT” (gray).
Trade Longs: “OK” (green) if VIX < 20, “BLOCK” (red) if not.
Sector Breadth: 10 sectors (Tech, Financial, etc.) with trend arrows (↑ green, ↓ red, - gray).
Placeholder Row: Empty for future metrics (e.g., ATR, breadth score).
Purpose: Consolidates regime, volatility, market trend, and sector data, making decisions a breeze.
- VIX and SPX metrics add context, helping beginners avoid bad trades (e.g., no longs if “BLOCK”).
Sector arrows show market health at a glance, like a cheat code for sentiment.
Key Features
Beginner-Ready: Preset modes and clear visuals make futures trading a breeze.
Sentiment-Driven: VIX filter, SPX trend, and sector breadth keep you in sync with the market.
High-Frequency: Faster EMAs, tighter stops, and short cooldowns boost trade volume.

Visual Mastery: DAFE’s clean flair, EMAs, dashboard—makes trading fun and clear.
Backtestable: Lean code and fixed qty ensure accurate historical testing.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Load on a 5min MNQ/ES chart in TradingView.
Pick Preset: Aggressive (scalping), Balanced (versatile), or Conservative (safe). Balanced is default.
Set Contracts: Default 1, max 10. Stick low for safety.
Check Dashboard: Bottom-left shows preset, VIX, SPX, and sectors. “OK” + green breadth = strong buy.
Backtest: Run in strategy tester to compare modes.
Live Trade: Connect to Tradovate or similar. Watch for slippage (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES issues).

Gradient Sniper Elite🧠 Gradient Sniper Elite — Precision Trend Detection and Tactical Trade Execution for Crypto
Gradient Sniper Elite is a high-performance crypto trend strategy engineered for accuracy, adaptability, and smart execution on the 1-hour timeframe. This script is not just a mashup — it's a purpose-built system that combines trend, momentum, and volume filters in a structured and non-repainting framework designed for optimal entry and exit timing.
🔍 What Makes It Original?
This strategy combines several proven concepts into a unified, precision-calibrated trade engine:
✅ ZLEMA Gradient Filter: A slope-based trend filter that captures the direction and strength of momentum shifts without repainting.
✅ TEMA Confirmation: Triple EMA logic confirms trend acceleration or exhaustion by analyzing layered EMA cross-smoothing.
✅ RMI-Based Trend Direction: Replaces traditional RSI with a Relative Momentum Index (RMI), which smooths price momentum and avoids lag.
✅ ROC & Smoothed CCI: Dual momentum filters ensure that trades align with both velocity and structure of price moves.
✅ Volume Spike Filter: Filters out false breakouts and manipulation by confirming entries only during statistically significant volume surges.
✅ TP1/TP2 Split Take Profit Logic: 50% partial exit at TP1 and full exit at TP2. Ensures flexible profit-taking while maximizing trend continuation gains.
✅ Trend Weakness Exit: Trades are exited cleanly when the trend begins to weaken (as confirmed by RMI flip), preventing overstay and drawdown.
✅ 1-Bar Reversal Delay: The system enforces a 1-bar delay between a trade closure and any potential reversal entry, ensuring clean trend reversals and realistic live trading behavior.
✅ No Stop Loss: This strategy does not use a stop loss. Instead, it exits trades based on trend weakness or TP2 being hit. This avoids premature exits in volatile crypto environments, while maintaining controlled and dynamic trade management logic.
⚙️ How It Works
This strategy uses multi-layered confirmation:
Trend Structure
ZLEMA Gradient: Captures the slope of price action.
White Line + Fast/Slow Tether Lines: Define macro trend structure and act as dynamic S/R filters.
Momentum Alignment
Rate of Change (ROC): Measures directional velocity.
Smoothed CCI: Refines entry timing within the trend.
TEMA: Adds second-layer trend confirmation.
Volume Confirmation
Entry signals are validated by detecting relative volume spikes compared to a moving average baseline, avoiding entries on low-volume or fake breakouts.
Trade Management
Dynamic take-profits (TP1/TP2).
Immediate exit on trend weakening.
No same-bar entry/exit — reversal entries are delayed until after full exit confirmation.
No stop loss — trade management is handled via trend logic and take profit levels.
📊 Dashboard Overview
Gradient Sniper Elite includes a built-in dashboard in the top-right corner of the chart. It dynamically updates on each bar and shows:
📍 Position: Displays "Long", "Short", or "Flat" depending on the active trade
💰 Entry Price: The exact price where the trade was entered
📈 Unrealized %: Current profit/loss as a percentage
💵 Unrealized $: Estimated PnL in dollars, scaled to your backtest capital
📊 Trades / Win Rate: Live counter for total trades, win/loss count, and win rate
🎯 TP1 Hit / TP2 Hit: Shows ✅ or ❌ depending on whether each target level was reached during the current trade
This dashboard helps you monitor trade status, track live performance, and validate signal behavior in real time — all without repainting or relying on external tools.
📈 How to Use
Timeframe: Optimized for the 1-hour timeframe, but adaptable.
Asset Class: Primarily built for crypto markets, especially fast-moving alts like AVAX, LINK, QNT, etc.
Trade Mode: Supports long and short trades with clean reversal logic.
Dashboard: Live stats including position status, TP1/TP2 hit, win rate, and real-time PnL tracking.
Backtest Ready: Built with full compliance to TradingView backtest engine — results are realistic and match live-bar behavior.
⚠️ No Repainting — No Guesswork
Every element in this script is designed to work with confirmed bar data only. There is zero forward-looking logic. This makes Gradient Sniper Elite fully compatible with both backtesting and live algo execution.
🧩 Why This Isn’t Just a Mashup
Each indicator in this strategy has a specific role:
ZLEMA: Core trend slope engine.
TEMA: Trend reinforcement.
RMI: Directional decision layer.
CCI & ROC: Entry timing refinement.
Volume Filter: Risk filtering.
They’re not merged randomly, but combined in sequence to eliminate noise and optimize entries.

RSI Failure Swing Pattern (with Alerts & Targets)RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator – Detailed Description
Overview
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a trend reversal detection tool based on the principles of failure swings in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator identifies key reversal signals by analyzing RSI swings and confirming trend shifts using predefined overbought and oversold conditions.
Failure swing patterns are one of the strongest RSI-based reversal signals, initially introduced by J. Welles Wilder. This indicator detects these patterns and provides clear buy/sell signals with labeled entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels. The tool is designed to work across all timeframes and assets.
How the Indicator Works
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern consists of two key structures:
1. Bullish Failure Swing (Buy Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters oversold territory (below 30), recovers, forms a higher low above the oversold level, and finally breaks above the intermediate swing high in RSI.
Step 1: RSI dips below 30 (oversold condition).
Step 2: RSI rebounds and forms a local peak.
Step 3: RSI retraces but does not go below the previous low (higher low confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks above the previous peak, confirming a bullish trend reversal.
Buy signal is triggered at the breakout above the RSI peak.
2. Bearish Failure Swing (Sell Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters overbought territory (above 70), declines, forms a lower high below the overbought level, and then breaks below the intermediate swing low in RSI.
Step 1: RSI rises above 70 (overbought condition).
Step 2: RSI declines and forms a local trough.
Step 3: RSI bounces but fails to exceed the previous high (lower high confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks below the previous trough, confirming a bearish trend reversal.
Sell signal is triggered at the breakdown below the RSI trough.
Features of the Indicator
Custom RSI Settings: Adjustable RSI length (default 14), overbought/oversold levels.
Buy & Sell Signals: Buy/sell signals are plotted directly on the price chart.
Entry, Stop-Loss, and Profit Targets:
Entry: Price at the breakout of the RSI failure swing pattern.
Stop-Loss: Lowest low (for buy) or highest high (for sell) of the previous two bars.
Profit Targets: Two levels calculated based on Risk-Reward ratios (1:1 and 1:2 by default, customizable).
Labeled Price Levels:
Entry Price Line (Blue): Marks the point of trade entry.
Stop-Loss Line (Red): Shows the calculated stop-loss level.
Target 1 Line (Orange): Profit target at 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Target 2 Line (Green): Profit target at 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Alerts for Trade Execution:
Buy/Sell signals trigger alerts for real-time notifications.
Alerts fire when price reaches stop-loss or profit targets.
Works on Any Timeframe & Asset: Suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, indices, and commodities.
Why Use This Indicator?
Highly Reliable Reversal Signals: Unlike simple RSI overbought/oversold strategies, failure swings filter out false breakouts and provide strong confirmation of trend reversals.
Risk Management Built-In: Stop-loss and take-profit levels are automatically set based on historical price action and risk-reward considerations.
Easy-to-Use Visualization: Clearly marked entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels make it beginner-friendly while still being valuable for experienced traders.
How to Trade with the Indicator
Buy Trade Example (Bullish Failure Swing)
RSI drops below 30 and recovers.
RSI forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous peak.
Entry: Buy when RSI crosses above its previous peak.
Stop-Loss: Set below the lowest low of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Sell Trade Example (Bearish Failure Swing)
RSI rises above 70 and then declines.
RSI forms a lower high and then breaks below the previous trough.
Entry: Sell when RSI crosses below its previous trough.
Stop-Loss: Set above the highest high of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Final Thoughts
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify high-probability trend reversals. By using the RSI failure swing concept along with built-in risk management tools, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading with clear entry and exit points. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator helps in capturing momentum shifts while minimizing risk.

Unlike traditional RSI indicators, this version applies a Gaussian-weighted smoothing algorithm, making it more responsive to price action while reducing noise. Additionally, the trailing stop feature dynamically adjusts based on volatility and trend conditions, allowing traders to:
Detects real-time divergences (bullish/bearish) with a smart pivot-based system.
Filter noise with Gaussian weighting, ensuring smoother RSI transitions.
Utilize crossover-based trailing stop activation, for systematic trade management.
👽 The Math Behind the Indicator
👾 Gaussian Weighted RSI Calculation
Traditional RSI calculations rely on simple averages of gains and losses. Instead, this indicator weights recent price changes using a Gaussian distribution, prioritizing more relevant data points while maintaining smooth transitions.
Key Features:
Exponential decay ensures recent price changes are weighted more heavily.
Reduces short-term noise while maintaining responsiveness.
👾 Real-Time Divergence Detection
The indicator detects bullish and bearish divergences using pivot points on RSI compared to price action.
👾 Dynamic ATR-Based Trailing Stop
Bullish Trailing Stop: Activates when RSI crosses above 20 and dynamically adjusts based on low - ATR multiplier.
Bearish Trailing Stop: Activates when RSI crosses below 80 and adjusts based on high + ATR multiplier
This allows traders to:
Lock in profits systematically by adjusting stop-losses dynamically.
Stay in trades longer while maintaining adaptive risk management.
👽 How It Adapts to Market Movements
✔️ Gaussian Filtering ensures smooth RSI transitions while preventing excessive lag.
✔️ Real-Time Divergence Alerts provide early trade signals based on price-RSI discrepancies.
✔️ ATR Trailing Stop dynamically expands or contracts based on market volatility.
✔️ Crossover-Based Activation enables the stop-loss system only when RSI confirms a momentum shift.
👽 How Traders Can Use This Indicator
👾 Divergence Trading
Traders can use real-time divergence detection to anticipate reversals before they happen.
Bullish Divergence Setup:
Look for RSI making a higher low, while price makes a lower low.
Enter long when RSI confirms upward momentum.
Bearish Divergence Setup:
Look for RSI making a lower high, while price makes a higher high.
Enter short when RSI confirms downward momentum.
👾 Trailing Stop Signals
Bullish Signal and Trailing Stop Activation:
When RSI crosses above 20, a trailing stop is placed using low - ATR multiplier.
If price crosses below the stop, it exits the trade and removes the stop.
Bearish Signal and Trailing Stop Activation:
When RSI crosses below 80, a trailing stop is placed using high + ATR multiplier.
If price crosses above the stop, it exits the trade and removes the stop.
This makes trend-following strategies more efficient, while ensuring proper risk management.
👽 Why It’s Useful for Traders
✔️ Dynamic and Adaptive: Adjusts to changing market conditions automatically.
✔️ Noise Reduction: Gaussian-weighted RSI reduces short-term price distortions.
✔️ Comprehensive Strategy Tool: Combines momentum detection, divergence analysis, and automated risk management into a single indicator.
✔️ Works Across Markets & Timeframes: Suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures trading.

Btc and Eth 5 min winnerWhat the Strategy Does
Finding the Trend (Like Watching the Bus Move): The strategy uses special tools called Hull Moving Averages (HMAs) to figure out if Bitcoin (BTC) Ethereum (ETH) prices are generally going up or down. It looks at short-term (5 minutes) and long-term (10 minutes) price movements to make sure the “bus” (the market) is moving strongly in one direction—up for buying, down for selling.
Spotting Good Times to Jump On (Buy or Sell Signals): It looks for two types of opportunities:
Pullbacks: When the price dips a little while still moving up (like the bus slowing down but not stopping), it’s a chance to buy.
Breakouts: When the price suddenly jumps higher after being stuck (like the bus speeding up), it’s another chance to buy. It does the opposite for selling when prices are dropping.
It also checks if there’s enough “passenger activity” (volume) and momentum (speed of price change) to make sure it’s a good move.
Avoiding Traffic Jams (Filters): The strategy uses tools like RSI (to check if the market’s too fast or too slow), volume (to see if enough people are trading), and ATR (to measure how wild the price swings are). It skips trades if things look too chaotic or if the trend isn’t strong enough.
Setting Safety Stops and Profit Targets: Once you’re on the “bus,” it sets rules to protect you:
Stop-Loss: If the price moves against you by a small amount (0.5% of the typical price swing), you jump off to avoid losing too much—think of it as getting off before the bus crashes.
Take-Profit: If the price moves in your favor by a small amount (1.0% of the typical swing), you cash out—imagine getting off at your stop with a profit.
Trailing Stop: If the price keeps moving your way, it adjusts your exit point to lock in more profit, like moving your stop closer as the bus keeps going.
Using Leverage (10x Boost): This strategy uses 10x leverage on Binance futures, meaning for every $1 you have, you trade like you have $10. This can make profits (or losses) 10 times bigger, so it’s risky but can be rewarding if you’re careful.
Why 5 Minutes and Bitcoin and Ethereum?
5-Minute Chart: This is like checking the bus every 5 minutes to make quick, small trades—perfect for fast, short profits.
Bitcoin Ethereum (BTC/USD)(ETH/USD): It’s the most popular and liquid crypto, so there’s lots of activity, making it easier to jump on and off without getting stuck.
Why It Aims for 90% Wins (But Be Realistic)
The goal is to win 9 out of 10 trades by being super picky about when to trade—only jumping on when the trend, momentum, and volume are all perfect. But in real trading, markets can be unpredictable, so 90% is very hard to achieve. Still, this strategy tries to be as accurate as possible by avoiding bad moves and focusing on strong trends.
Risks for a New Trader
Leverage: Trading with 10x leverage means small price moves can lead to big losses if you’re not careful. Start with a demo account (pretend money) on TradingView or Binance to practice.
Learning Curve: This strategy uses technical terms (like HMAs, RSI) and tools you’ll need to learn over time. Don’t rush—just practice and ask questions!
How to Use It
Go to TradingView, load this strategy on a 5-minute BTC/USD futures chart on Binance.
Watch the green triangles (buy signals) and red triangles (sell signals) on the chart—they tell you when to trade.
Use the stops and targets to manage your trades—don’t guess, let the strategy guide you.
Start small, learn from each trade, and don’t risk money you can’t afford to lose.
This is like learning to ride a bike—start slow, practice, and you’ll get better. If you have more questions or want simpler tips, feel free to ask! Trading can be fun and rewarding, but it takes patience and practice.
Price Action Trend and Margin EquityThe Price Action Trend and Margin Equity indicator is a multifunctional market analysis tool that combines elements of money management and price pattern analysis. The indicator helps traders identify key price action patterns and determine optimal entry, exit and stop loss levels based on the current trend.
The main components of the indicator:
Money Management:
Allows the trader to set risk management parameters such as the percentage of possible loss on the position, the use of fixed leverage and the total capital.
Calculates the required leverage level to achieve a specified percentage of loss.
Price Action:
Correctly identifies various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Engulfing Bar, PPR Bar and Inside Bar.
Displays these patterns on the chart with the ability to customize candle colors and display styles.
Allows the trader to customize take profit and stop loss points to display them on the chart.
The ability to display patterns only in the direction of the trend.
Trend: (some code taken from ChartPrime)
Uses a trend cloud to visualize the current market direction.
The trend cloud is displayed on the chart and helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Alert:
Allows you to set an alert that will be triggered when the pattern is formed.
Example of use:
Let's say a trader uses the indicator to trade the crypto market. He sets the money management parameters, setting the maximum loss per position to 5% and using a fixed leverage of 1:100. The indicator automatically calculates the required position size to meet these parameters ($: on the label). Or displays the leverage (X: on the label) to achieve the required risk.
The trader receives an alert when a Pin Bar is formed. The indicator displays the entry, exit, and stop loss levels based on this pattern. The trader opens a position for the recommended amount in the direction indicated by the indicator and sets the stop loss and take profit at the recommended levels.
General Settings:
Position Loss Percentage: Sets the maximum loss percentage you are willing to take on a single position.
Use Fixed Leverage: Enables or disables the use of fixed leverage.
Fixed Leverage: Sets the fixed leverage level.
Total Equity: Specifies the total equity you are using for trading. (Required for calculation when using fixed leverage)
Turn Patterns On/Off: You can turn on or off the display of various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Engulfing), Inside Bar, and PPR Bar.
Pattern Colors: Sets the colors for displaying each pattern on the chart.
Candle Color: Allows you to set a neutral color for candles that do not match the price action.
Show Lines: Allows you to turn on or off the display of labels and lines.
Line Length: Sets the length of the stop, entry, and take profit lines.
Label color: One color for all labels (configured below) or the color of the labels in the color of the candle pattern.
Pin entry: Select the entry point for the pin bar: candle head, bar close, or 50% of the candle.
Coefficients for stop and take lines.
Use trend for price action: When enabled, will show price action signals only in the direction of the trend.
Display trend cloud: Enables or disables the display of the trend cloud.
Cloud calculation period: Sets the period for which the maximum and minimum values for the cloud are calculated. The longer the period, the smoother the cloud will be.
Cloud colors: Sets the colors for uptrends and downtrends, as well as the transparency of the cloud.
The logic of the indicator:
Pin Bar is a candle with a long upper or lower shadow and a short body.
Logic: If the length of one shadow is twice the body and the opposite shadow of the candle, it is considered a Pin Bar.
An Inside Bar is a candle that is completely engulfed by the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are inside the previous candle, it is an Inside Bar.
An Outside Bar or Engulfing is a candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are outside the previous candle and close outside the previous candle, it is an Outside Bar.
A PPR Bar is a candle that closes above or below the previous candle.
Logic: If the current candle closes above the high of the previous candle or below its low, it is a PPR Bar.
Stop Loss Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios. If set to 1.0, it shows the correct stop for the pattern by pushing away from the entry point.
Take Profit Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios.
Create a Label: The label is created at the stop loss level and contains information about the potential leverage and loss.
The formula for calculating the $ value is:
=(Total Capital x (Maximum Loss Percentage on Position/100)) / (Difference between Entry Level and Stop Loss Level × Ratio that sets the stop loss level relative to the length of the candlestick shadow × Fixed Leverage Value) .
Labels contain the following information:
The percentage of price change from the recommended entry point to the stop loss level.
Required Leverage (X: ): The amount of leverage required to achieve the specified loss percentage. (Or a fixed value if selected).
Required Capital ($: ): The amount of capital required to open a position with the specified leverage and loss percentage (only displayed when using fixed leverage).
The trend cloud identifies the maximum and minimum price values for the specified period.
The cloud value is set depending on whether the current price is equal to the high or low values.
If the current closing price is equal to the high value, the cloud is set at the low value, and vice versa.

Уровки тейк-профита: Рассчитываются на основе заданных коэффициентов.
Создание метки: Метка создается на уровне стоп-лосс и содержит информацию о потенциальном плече и убытке.
Формула для вычисления значения $:
=(Общий капитал x (Максимальный процент убытка по позиции/100)) / (Разница между уровнем входа и уровнем стоп-лосс × Коэффициент, задающий уровень стоп-лосс относительно длины тени свечи × Значение фиксированного плеча).
Метки содержат следующую информацию:
Процент изменения цены от рекомендованной точки входа до уровня стоп-лосс.
Необходимое плечо (Х: ): Уровень плеча, необходимый для достижения заданного процента убытка. (Или фиксированное значение если оно выбрано).
Необходимый капитал ($: ): Сумма капитала, необходимая для открытия позиции с заданным плечом и процентом убытка (отображается только при использовании фиксированного плеча).
Облако тренда определяет максимальные и минимальные значения цены за указанный период.
Значение облака устанавливается в зависимости от того, совпадает ли текущая цена с максимальными или минимальными значениями.
Если текущая цена закрытия равна максимальному значению, облако устанавливается на уровне минимального значения, и наоборот.
ATR Trailing Stop by GideonMATR Trailing Stop Indicator
This ATR Trailing Stop Indicator is designed for traders who wish to enhance their exit strategies by leveraging volatility-based stops. It offers a systematic approach to trend management and risk control, enabling traders to capture extended trends while protecting their capital during market reversals. Works on Indian Indices as well.
Overview:
The ATR Trailing Stop indicator is a dynamic trend-following tool that adjusts stop levels based on market volatility. By incorporating the Average True Range (ATR), the indicator provides a flexible exit strategy that adapts to changing market conditions, helping traders lock in profits during trends and limit losses during reversals.
How It Works:
True Range and ATR Calculation:
The indicator first calculates the True Range (TR) for each bar, defined as the maximum of:
The difference between the high and low,
The absolute difference between the high and the previous close, and
The absolute difference between the low and the previous close.
Using the TR values, the ATR is computed over a user-defined period (default is 14 bars) with an option to use either a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the smoothing method.
Trailing Stop Determination:
Two potential stop levels are calculated:
For an uptrend, the stop is determined as:
Stop = Close – (Multiplier × ATR)
For a downtrend, the stop is:
Stop = Close + (Multiplier × ATR)
The indicator maintains a persistent trailing stop that dynamically adjusts:
In an uptrend, the trailing stop only moves upward (or remains flat) to secure gains.
In a downtrend, it only moves downward, thereby protecting the position from excessive losses.
A reversal in trend is identified when the price crosses the trailing stop level, at which point the indicator flips the trend and resets the stop level accordingly.
Rationale:
Utilizing the ATR for trailing stops ensures that the stop levels are directly influenced by market volatility. This dynamic adjustment helps accommodate the natural price fluctuations of the market, providing a more adaptive risk management tool compared to fixed stop-loss levels. The approach is particularly useful in volatile markets where traditional static stops might be triggered prematurely.
Customization:
Key parameters that can be adjusted include:
ATR Period: The number of bars used to calculate the ATR.
ATR Multiplier: The factor that determines how far the trailing stop is set from the current price.
Smoothing Method: Option to choose between SMA and EMA for ATR calculation, allowing traders to tailor the sensitivity of the indicator to their specific trading style.
Altcoins DCA ScalperIntroduction
The Altcoins DCA Scalper is a Pine Strategy Script designed to automate Altcoins trading through 3Commas integration. It implements a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy that expands upon 3Commas' standard DCA capabilities, helping to manage risk while trading both long and short positions automatically.
This tool aims to assist both beginners exploring automated trading and experienced 3Commas users seeking dynamic DCA automation. The script is specifically designed for the 1-minute timeframe , where it has shown a good balance between performance and risk management. Complete setup typically takes less than 10 minutes, with a detailed guide making configuration straightforward for users of all experience levels.
------------------------------
🔶 What is DCA?
------------------------------
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) refers to the practice of gradually increasing your position size at lower prices when trading long, or at higher prices when trading short, to achieve a better average entry price if the market moves against the initial entry . Instead of investing all capital at once, which could result in a significant drawdown if the price moves unfavorably, DCA spreads entries across different price levels to help manage potential drawdowns as they occur.
In this script, DCA is implemented through a system that:
🔹 Triggers safety orders only when/if needed (if take profit isn't reached quickly)
🔹 Dynamically adjusts order sizing based on market volatility
🔹 Automatically reduces take profit targets after each DCA order to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome
🔹 Can handle drawdowns depending on market volatility and settings
The images below illustrate two scenarios: one where an entry reaches the take profit directly, without activating DCA orders, and another where DCA is utilized, with the order closing positively after two DCA orders.
Case 1: Order closes in profit after entry
Case 2: Order closes in profit after 2 DCA orders (dynamically placed based on trend and volatility)
This DCA implementation aims to enhance standard 3Commas DCA by adding market-adaptive features while maintaining risk management principles.
------------------------------
🔶 Could this strategy script benefit you?

* Apply the script to your TradingView charts
* Use the built-in backtesting to analyze performance on different pairs
* Focus on USDT.P futures pairs with good volatility
4️⃣ Trading Activation
* Create TradingView alerts for each trading pair you want to activate
* Example: Set an alert for BINANCE: XRPUSDT.P following the in-script guide
* The script automatically manages all aspects:
* Entry and exit decisions
* DCA execution
* Risk management
* Position monitoring
Capital Requirements
* Important: Ensure sufficient capital to cover all activated pairs
* Consider volatility class when allocating capital to specific pairs
Once setup is complete, the script operates fully automatically while you maintain complete control of your funds through 3Commas and your exchange.

------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions
------------------------------
Here are some common questions you may have, and our answers:
❓ Is this tool only for experts? I'm new to algo trading, can I use it?
No, the Altcoins DCA Scalper could be used by both beginners and experienced traders. The setup process is guided, and the algorithm handles all the calculations in the background.
❓ I'm not familiar with 3Commas. Is that a problem?
While the script is designed to work with 3Commas, a step-by-step guide is provided within the script to help you set up your 3Commas accounts and bots, if needed.
❓ Do I need to constantly monitor the script after it's set up?
No, after the initial setup and configuration, the script operates autonomously. It handles all aspects of trading including entries, exits, DCA management, and risk controls. However, we recommend:
* Checking performance metrics daily
* Reviewing position statistics weekly
* Adjusting pair selection monthly based on performance
* Monitoring overall market conditions that might require adjustments
❓ Can I use it with leverage?
Yes, the script is designed to work with leverage up to 5x on perpetual futures pairs (USDT.P). It includes specific features for leveraged trading:
* Dynamic safety order placement based on distance to liquidation
* Pre-liquidation exit system to minimize exchange fees
* Adjustable take-profit targets optimized for leveraged positions
* Emergency exit system for extreme market movements
* Optional risk controls specific to leverage:
* Automatic exit in the liquidation danger zone
* Position size scaling based on leverage level
* Safety order adjustments for different leverage settings
While leverage can amplify returns, it also increases risk. We recommend starting with lower leverage (2x), or no leverage at all, until familiar with the script's operation.
❓ Does this script guarantee profits?
No, no script or trading strategy can guarantee profits. The Altcoins DCA Scalper provides a framework for implementing an automated DCA strategy, but your success will depend on many different factors and conditions.
❓ Do I need to understand the complex algorithms used in the script?
No, it’s not necessary. The logic is handled by the script, and you do not need to understand every detail to use it effectively. However, a basic knowledge of DCA concepts will be beneficial.
❓ Can I use this script with spot or leveraged trades?
The script is optimized for USDT.P pairs (perpetual futures) with leverage up to 5x. This allows:
* Automatic long/short position management
* Increased capital utilization
* Full DCA functionality without holding the underlying assets
* Enhanced risk management features specific to futures
While spot trading is possible, it requires holding underlying assets for shorts and doesn't access the script's full capabilities.
❓What timeframe should I use?
This script is optimized for the 1-minute timeframe , which is the recommended setting for the best balance between performance, capital efficiency, and risk. While we recommend using the tool on the 1 minute TF, it would work on other timeframes too.
❓ What happens if my internet/computer goes down?
Since the script sends signals from Tradingview to 3Commas (which executes trades on your exchange), your positions and DCA management continue to function even if your TradingView chart is closed or your computer is off. The script only needs to be active to generate new signals.
❓ How are the DCA parameters determined?
The script dynamically adjusts DCA parameters based on:
* The pair's volatility class (compared to the overall altcoin market)
* Current market conditions and volatility
* Position direction (long/short)
* Leverage settings
* Number of safety orders already executed
This allows for adaptive/dynamic DCA compared to static or %-based parameters.
❓ What exchanges are supported?
The script works with any exchange supported by 3Commas for futures trading (approximately 15 different crypto Exchanges). However, it's optimized for Binance Futures (USDT.P pairs) due to its high liquidity and for consistency.
❓ What happens during extreme market conditions?
The script includes some (optional) protective measures that can be activated:
* Emergency exits during sharp and abnormal market moves

* Position closure on significant trend changes
* Special handling of aged positions
These features aim to protect capital during unusual market conditions.
❓How many pairs can I trade simultaneously?
This depends on your total capital. As a general indication, define the number of pairs to activate based on:

CandelaCharts - Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)# SWING FAILURE PATTERN
📝 Overview
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) indicator is designed to identify and highlight Swing Failure Patterns on a user’s chart. This pattern typically emerges when significant market participants generate liquidity by driving price action to key levels. An SFP occurs when the price temporarily breaks above a resistance level or below a support level, only to quickly reverse and return within the previous range. These movements are often associated with stop-loss hunting or liquidity grabs, providing traders with potential opportunities to anticipate reversals or key market turning points.
A Bullish SFP occurs when the price dips below a key support level, triggering stop-loss orders, but then swiftly reverses upward, signaling a potential upward trend or reversal.
A Bearish SFP happens when the price spikes above a key resistance level, triggering stop-losses of short positions, but then quickly reverses downward, indicating a potential bearish trend or reversal.
The indicator is a powerful tool for traders, helping to identify liquidity grabs and potential reversal points in real-time. Marking bullish and bearish Swing Failure Patterns on the chart, it provides clear visual cues for spotting market traps set by major players, enabling more informed trading decisions and improved risk management.

📒 Usage
The best approach is to combine a few complementary indicators to gain a clearer market perspective. This doesn’t mean relying on the Golden Cross, RSI divergences, SFPs, and funding rates simultaneously, but rather focusing on one or two that align well in a given scenario.
The example above demonstrates the confluence of a Bearish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) with an RSI divergence. This combination strengthens the signal, as the Bearish SFP indicates a potential reversal after a liquidity grab, while the RSI divergence confirms weakening momentum at the key level. Together, these indicators provide a more robust setup for identifying potential market reversals with greater confidence.
