Pullback Traps v. 0.1Trading Strategy for scalping the CME_MINI:ES1! and CME_MINI:MES1! futures on the 5 min. time frame.
The strategy will count legs and look for failed pullbacks and failed second entries where shorters get trapped.
How to use:
When a trap occurs (Marked with green light) place an order one tick above the high of the trap and enter on next candle
If entry doesn't happen on next candle and it has a lower high, move entry to one tick above high of that candle.
Keep doing the above until you enter or until a candle is marked with a blue light and the text Trap Dead.
If you see Trap dead and you haven't entered, quickly cancel your order.
What is green light?
A second or later pullback down away from the uptrend. When the green light is present the shorters haven't made a 1 point profit and short scalpers are trapped.
What is blue light?
1. Shorters made their 1 point profit and trap is dead. Cancel your trade. Or...
2. Shorters hit their stop loss and you're probably in a trade now and about to profit.
Profit and stop loss:
Numbers are done with profit 5 ticks and stop loss 30 ticks.
Should I have a stop loss 6 times greater than profit?
Probably not. The numbers you see here are made with these profit and stop loss figures but I don't advice it in real trading.
The numbers look good on this backtest but in reality a few bad trades would ruin everything.
This was made purely for fun and sim trading - Feel free to do your own testing and show the resulsts.

GG ES Scalp IBTT Momentum Strategy v1.0Script for Scalping the ES. Apply it to a 15 second chart. The Momentum Multiplier is a float input and the lower the number the less conservative the strategy is. It doesn't fire signals everyday but its pretty accurate. Send me a message to get access.
CME_MINI:ES1!
US Indices Cash Initial BalanceThis indicator plots the Cash Initial Balance for the ES, YM, NQ.
The Cash Initial Balance for US indices is the high & low from 9:30-10:30 ET, the first hour after the NYSE open.
ABUs EurorampThis strategy backtests the opening ramp of Europe at 9am European time, which is 2am Chicago time ( CME ES timezone ) on the ES Futures Contract.
The following conditions are embedded in the strategy:
- Market entry at 2 am Chicago time
- Size = 2 contracts
- Stop = -5 points
- TP 1 = +3 points (1 Contract)
- Stop to Break even (entry + 0.5) after TP 1 is reached
- Set a TP 2 stop to +5 if entry is +10 points
- Close all positions EOD RTH
As the script entry / stops / TPs work on candle closes, best is to use the strategy on the 5min chart.
GMS: Mr. Yen's Color ZoneThis is Mr. Yen's color zone. I have also added an input to adjust the sizes of each box. Mainly targeted for MES and ES.
The default settings are as he describes:
white line is the previous day close
red zone = +/- 20 from the previous day close
yellow zone = +/- 40 from the previous day close
green zone = +/- 60 from the previous day close
blue zone = +/- 100 from the previous day close
The source code is open, so feel free to take a look and see whats up. This indicator is quite similar to his, however there is a gap at the cash close to overnight open on his chart that I'm not sure how to adjust for. In any case, this one is still pretty good!
I hope it helps,
Andre
(JS)S&P 500 Volatility Oscillator For Options 2.0I am going to start taking requests to open source my indicators and they will also be updated to Version 4 of Pinescript.
I added some features to the original code such the ability to smooth the oscillator and select the look back periods for the historical volatility.

"The idea for this started here: www.tradingview.com with the user @dime
This should only be used on SPX or SPY (though you could use it on other things for correlation I suppose) given that the instrument used to create this calculation is derived from the S&P 500 (thank you VIX ). There's a lot of moving parts here though, so allow me to explain...
First: The main signal is when Implied Volatility (from VIX ) drops beneath Historical Volatility - which is what you want to see so you aren't purchasing a ton of premium on long options. Green and above 0 means that IV% has dropped lower than Historical Volatility . (this signal, for example, would suggest using a Long Call or Put depending on your sentiment)
Second: The green line running underneath zero is the bottom portion of the "Average True Range" derived from the values used to create the oscillator. the closer the bottom histogram is to the green line, the more "normal" IV% is. Obviously, if this gets far away from the line then it could be setting up nicely to short options and sell the IV premium to someone else. (this signal, for example, would suggest using something like a Bull Put Spread)
Third: The red background along with the white line that drops down below zero signals when (and how far) the IV% from 3 months out (from VIX3M ) is less than the current IV%. This would signal the current environment has IV way too high, a signal to short options once again (and don't take any long option positions!).
Tried to make this simple, yet effective. If you trade options on SPX , SPY , even ES1! futures - this is a tool tailored specifically for you! As I said before, if you want you can use it for correlation on other securities. Any other ideas or suggestions surrounding this, please let me know! Enjoy!

Release Notes: Cosmetic update for a much cleaner look:
-Replaced the "HIGH IV" with a simlple "H"
-Now the white line is constantly showing you the relationship between VIX and VIX3M - when VIX is greater than VIX3M the background still goes red
-However, now when VIX drops below Historical Volatility, the background is bright green
-When both above are true - it's dark green
-The Average True Range on the bottom is now a series of crosses"
Calendar Spread - OldinvestorSimply choose what two securities (symbols) you want to compare. The study will subtract Open, High, Low, and Close of second input from the first. You may also move the plot line wherever you choose. It may be necessary to move the plot line in order for some charts to look right.
@WACC Volatility Weighted PUT/CALL Positions [SPX]This indicator is based on Volatility and Market Sentiment. When volatility is high, and market sentiment is positive, the indicator is in a low or 'buy state'. When volatility is low and market sentiment is poor, the indicator is high.
The indicator uses the VIX as it's volatility input.
The indicator uses the spread between the Call Volume on SPX/SPY and the Put Volume.
This is pulled from CVSPX and PVSPX.
When volatility and put/call reaches a critical level, such as the levels present in a crisis or a sell off, the line will be green. See Sept 2015, 2008, and Feb 2018.
This level can be edited in the source code.
As the indicator is based on Put/Call, the indicator works best on larger time frames as the put/call ratio becomes a more discernible measure of sentiment over time.
Cowabunga System from babypips.comPlease do read the information below as well, especially if you are new to Forex.
The Cowabunga System is a type of Mechanical Trading System that filters trades based on the trend of the 4 hour chart with EMAs and some other familiar indicators (RSI, Stochastics and MACD) while entering trades base on 15 minute chart.
I have coded (quite amateurishly) the basic system onto a 15 minute chart (the 4 hour settings are coded as well). The author says the system is to be traded off the 15 minute chart with the 4 hour chart only as a reference for trend direction.
4 Hour Chart Settings
5 EMA
10 EMA
Stochastics (10,3,3)
RSI (9)
Then we move onto the 15 minute chart, where he gives us the trade entry rules.
15 Minute Chart Settings
5 EMA
10 EMA
Stochastics (10,3,3)
RSI (9)
MACD (12,26,9)
Entry Rules - long entry rules used, obviously reverse these for shorting.
1. EMA must cross above the 10 EMA.
2. RSI must be greater than 50 and not overbought.
3. Stochastic must be headed up and not be in overbought territory.
4. MACD histogram must go from negative to positive OR be negative and start to increase in value.
What I did.
1. Set the RSI and Stochastic levels to avoid entries when they indicate overbought conditions for long and oversold conditions for short (80 and 20 levels).
2. Users can input specific times they want to backtest.
3. User's can configure profit targets, trailing stops and stops. Default is set it to was 100 pips profit target with a 40 pip trailing stop. (Note, when you are changing these values, please note that each pip is worth 10, so 100 pips is entered as 1000.)
The Cowabunga System from babypips.com is another popular and active system. The author, Pip Surfer, continues to post wins and losses with this system. It shows there is a lot of honesty and integrity with this system if the author keeps up to date even 10 years later and is not afraid of sharing the times the system causes losses.
As an example of this, here is post he shared just last week . It's almost like a journal, he gives specific times and reasons why he entered, lets the readers know when he was stopped out, etc. I think that what he does is equally important as his system.

Free Strategy #08 (Combo of #01 and #02) (ES / SPY)This strategy was designed to be traded on daily data on the ES and SPY—the strategy was originally developed for NinjaTrader, which displays daily ES data based on RTH hours instead of 24 hours (1440 minute) like TradingView does, so we are presenting the results on the SPY until we figure out how to overcome this hurdle.
The strategy combines the two ideas from strategy #01 and strategy #02 .

This is our first strategy that we converted from NinjaTrader to TradingView, so if you see any issues with our conversion, please let us know as we are still learning TradingView Pine Script.
S&P VIX & SKEW IndicatorUse this indicator to compare VIX, SKEW and yearly HIGH and LOW of the S&P 500. If three of those indicators are on a down trend, then the indicator changes to red color.

B3 Fibonacci Pivot S/RFor my second share, I give you some levels I look at everyday for the ES minis. HLC/3 of the MTF (multi-time-frame) inputs = mean and Fib-levels formed as support and resistance zones. There are some websites that will show you 20 ways to figure out a pivot for the day's intraday workings, and this one always rang true for me. I keep it set at Res=D and Len=3or5 and use on hourly charts. This indicator is capable of doing like a Res=60m Len=8 for a 5m chart or something of that nature if you wish to test it out.
I haven't tested it out for tick charts and I have noticed that this is good on index and commodity futures, and not so much other things.
Uncanny to me how well this works as reversal awareness for ES. Doesn't mean that one will happen, or if it does that it will have trade-able juice, though it is very important awareness never-the-less.
