XAUUSD: Ultimate Sniper v6.0 [Order Flow & Macro]This indicator is a comprehensive trading system designed specifically for XAUUSD (Gold). It moves away from lagging indicators by combining real-time Macro-Economic sentiment, Regression Analysis, and Institutional Order Flow logic into a single professional interface.
### Core Strategy & Features: 1. Macro Correlation Filter: Gold has a strong inverse correlation with the USD (DXY) and Treasury Yields (US10Y). This script monitors them in the background. If DXY/US10Y are Bullish, Gold Buy signals are filtered out to prevent trading against the trend. 2. Linear Regression Channel: Defines the "Fair Value" of price. We only look for reversal trades when price hits the extreme Upper or Lower bands. 3. Order Flow Pressure (New): Analyzes the internal structure of each candle (Wick vs Body). A signal is only confirmed if the "Buying Pressure" or "Selling Pressure" within the candle supports the move (e.g. >50%). 4. RSI Divergence: Automatically spots Bullish and Bearish divergences to identify momentum exhaustion.
### ⚙️ Recommended Settings / Best Practices To get the best results, adjust the settings based on your trading style:
🏎️ SCALPING (1min - 5min Charts) * Goal: Quick entries, smaller targets, higher frequency. * DXY/US10Y Timeframe: Set to "15" or "30" (Reacts faster to macro changes). * Regression Length: 50 or 80 (Adapts to short-term trends). * RSI Length: 9 or 14.
🛡️ INTRADAY (15min - 1h Charts) - * Goal: Balanced trading, capturing the daily range. * DXY/US10Y Timeframe: Set to "60" (1 Hour). * Regression Length: 100 (Standard setting). * RSI Length: 14.
🦅 SWING TRADING (4h - Daily Charts) * Goal: Catching major trend reversals. * DXY/US10Y Timeframe: Set to "240" (4 Hours) or "D" (Daily). * Regression Length: 200 (Long-term trend baseline). * Channel Width: Increase to 2.5 or 3.0.
### How to Trade: - BUY Signal: Valid when the Dashboard shows "BEARISH" DXY/US10Y and the Live Pressure is "BUYERS". - SELL Signal: Valid when the Dashboard shows "BULLISH" DXY/US10Y and the Live Pressure is "SELLERS". - Risk Management: The script automatically calculates ATR-based Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels.

Core Philosophy
The "Golden Hours" strategy focuses on the first 3 hours of global market openings when volatility and liquidity are at their peak . By filtering altcoin signals with the Bitcoin (BTC) trend, we ensure high-probability entries aligned with the overall market momentum .
Session Schedule (Korea Standard Time - KST)
The indicator highlights three major trading windows :
Asia Focus (Green): 09:00 – 12:00 KST (Tokyo/Seoul opening).
Europe Focus (Blue): 16:00 – 19:00 KST (London opening).
US Focus (Red): 23:00 – 02:00 KST (New York opening).
Trading Rules
Long (Buy) Entry Conditions:
Zone: Price must be within one of the colored Focus Zones.
BTC Filter: BTC must be trading above its EMA 200 (Market Sentiment: Bullish) .
Alt Trend: Altcoin price must be above its own EMA 200.
Value: Price is above VWAP.
Reaction: Candle low touches or dips below VWAP, then closes above it (Pullback) .
Volume: Current volume is higher than the 20-period average.
Short (Sell) Entry Conditions:
Zone: Price must be within one of the colored Focus Zones.
BTC Filter: BTC must be trading below its EMA 200 (Market Sentiment: Bearish).
Alt Trend: Altcoin price must be below its EMA 200.
Value: Price is below VWAP.
Reaction: Candle high touches or goes above VWAP, then closes below it (Rejection).
Volume: Current volume is higher than the 20-period average.
Professional Risk Management
1% Rule: Never risk more than 1% of your total capital on a single trade .
Leverage: Use 1x–5x for beginners, and 5x–20x for advanced traders only with tight stop-losses .
Stop-Loss: Place stop-losses 0.1%–0.5% away from the entry point or at the most recent swing high/low .
[Sumit Ingole] 200-EMA SUMIT INGOLE
Indicator Name: 200 EMA Strategy Pro
Overview
The 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is widely regarded as the "Golden Line" by professional traders and institutional investors. This indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify the long-term market trend and filter out short-term market noise.
By giving more weight to recent price data than a simple moving average, this EMA reacts more fluidly to market shifts while remaining a rock-solid trend confirmation tool.
Key Features
Trend Filter: Instantly distinguish between a Bull market and a Bear market.
Price above 200 EMA: Bullish Bias
Price below 200 EMA: Bearish Bias
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Acts as a psychological floor or ceiling where major institutions often place buy or sell orders.
Institutional Benchmark: Since many hedge funds and banks track this specific level, price reactions near the 200 EMA are often highly significant.
Reduced Lag: Optimized exponential calculation ensures you stay ahead of the curve compared to traditional lagging indicators.
How to Trade with 200 EMA
Trend Confirmation: Only look for "Buy" setups when the price is trading above the 200 EMA to ensure you are trading with the primary trend.
Mean Reversion: When the price stretches too far away from the 200 EMA, it often acts like a magnet, pulling the price back toward it.
The "Death Cross" & "Golden Cross": Use this in conjunction with shorter EMAs (like the 50 EMA) to identify major trend reversals.
Exit Strategy: Can be used as a trailing stop-loss for long-term positional trades.
Best Used On:
Timeframes: Daily (1D), 4-Hour (4H), and Weekly (1W) for maximum accuracy.
Assets: Highly effective for Stocks, Forex (Major pairs), and Crypto (BTC/ETH).
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. Trading involves risk, and it is recommended to use this indicator alongside other technical analysis tools for better confirmation.

• Basic market structure
• London and New York session filtering
• Chop avoidance
This tool is not a signal service or automated strategy.
It is designed for practice, journaling, and skill-building.
Best used on:
• XAUUSD (Gold)
• 5-minute timeframe
• London & New York sessions
⚠️ Educational use only. No financial advice.
Trend-Based Fibs: Static Labels at StartThis indicator automatically projects Fibonacci extension levels and "Golden Zones" starting from the opening price of a new period (Daily or Weekly). By using the previous period’s range (High-Low) as the basis for volatility, it provides objective price targets and reversal zones for the current session.
How it Works Unlike standard Fibonacci Retracements that require manual drawing from swing highs to lows, this tool uses a fixed anchor method: The Range: It calculates the total range of the previous day or week.
The Anchor: It sets the current period's opening price as the "Zero Line."The Projection: It applies Fibonacci ratios ($0.236$, $0.5$, $0.786$, $1.0$, and $1.618$) upward and downward from that opening price.
Key Features Automated Levels: No more manual drawing. Levels reset and recalculate automatically at the start of every Daily or Weekly candle. Bullish & Bearish Zones: Instantly see extensions for both directions. The "Golden Zones": Highlighted boxes represent the high-probability $0.236$ to $0.5$ zones for both long and short continuations. Previous Period Levels: Optional toggles to show the previous High and Low, which often act as major support or resistance.
Integrated EMAs: Includes two customizable Exponential Moving Averages (default 20 and 100) to help you stay on the right side of the trend.
Clean Visuals: Labels are pinned to the start of the period to keep your charts uncluttered while lines extend dynamically as time progresses.
How to Trade with it Trend Continuation: If price opens and holds above the $0.236$ bullish level, look for the $0.618$ and $1.0$ levels as targets.
Reversals: Watch for price exhaustion at the $1.618$ extension, especially if it aligns with an EMA or a Previous High/Low.
Gap Plays: Excellent for "Opening Range" strategies where you use the first close of the day as the pivot point for the extensions.
SOFT Speed & Linearity Strategy (MTF) LIVE & BACKTESTSOFT Speed × Linearity Strategy (MTF – LIVE & BACKTEST)
This strategy detects clean impulsive moves by combining real-time price speed with directional quality (linearity).
It is designed for intraday markets such as Gold (XAUUSD), Nasdaq, and Crypto (ETH, BTC), where acceleration quality matters more than raw indicators.
🔹 Core Concepts
1️⃣ Speed ($ per second)
Measures how fast price is moving
Expressed in $/second, not points or ticks
Two execution modes:
LIVE → real-time intra-candle speed using elapsed seconds
BACKTEST → historical approximation using (Close − Open) / candle duration
2️⃣ Linearity Score (1 → 5)
Evaluates movement quality inside the candle:
Net progress vs adverse excursion
Identifies one-way impulses vs noisy back-and-forth moves
Interpretation
1–2 → choppy / rotational
3 → acceptable
4–5 → clean impulse (higher continuation probability)
🔹 Visual Panel
Histogram bars = Speed × Linearity
Color reflects directional quality
Optional info label displays:
Execution mode (LIVE / BACKTEST)
Analysis timeframe
Linearity score
Direction
Speed ($/s)
No drawings are placed on candles.
🔹 Entry Logic
Configurable conditions:
Minimum linearity score
Minimum speed
Direction aligned with candle movement
Long / Short / Both modes
Optional cooldown between signals
⚠️ Speed thresholds are separated for LIVE and BACKTEST to reflect their different nature.
🔹 Exit Modes (Selectable)
A — Symmetric
Exit when entry conditions are no longer valid.
B — Hysteresis (default)
Exit only after controlled degradation:
Linearity falls below a lower threshold
Or speed drops below a lower threshold
C — Momentum
Exit when speed no longer supports the trade direction (speed ≤ 0).
Optional add-ons:
Exit on opposite signal
Exit on speed channel re-entry
🔹 Multi-Timeframe (MTF)
Default analysis timeframe: 15 minutes
Optional lock to chart timeframe
Safety rule for public use:
If chart timeframe < 15m, analysis remains on 15m
Prevents misleading ultra-fast recalculations
🔹 LIVE vs BACKTEST (Important)
LIVE mode uses true intra-candle acceleration
BACKTEST mode uses an approximation to allow reproducible historical testing
Results between LIVE and BACKTEST are not identical by design
This is intentional and clearly separated.
🔹 Alerts
Available alerts:
BUY
SELL
EXIT
Speed channel breakout
ALL events
Compatible with TradingView webhooks.
🔹 Intended Use
This is not a trend indicator.
This is not a prediction tool.
It is a momentum quality detector, useful to:
Validate breakouts
Filter false accelerations
Trade continuation, not anticipation
⚠️ Disclaimer
This script is for educational and research purposes only.
It does not constitute financial advice.
Always test, adapt parameters to your market, and manage risk.
Prev-Week-Month with V-StopPrevious Week map: It automatically plots last week’s high/low and key Fibonacci levels (50%, 61.8%, 78.6), plus optional extensions, and can extend those lines into the current week with labels.
Previous Month “Golden Zones”: It shades the prior month’s two main retracement zones (61.8%–78.6% from the month’s range) as bullish/bearish areas, optionally adds boundary lines, and labels them.
Volatility Stop (V-Stop): It draws an ATR-based trailing stop that flips between uptrend/downtrend. You can run it on the chart timeframe or a higher timeframe, and it marks reversals and HTF breach/“limbo” events. **bits of code taken from TradingView script**
Titan V40.0 Optimal Portfolio ManagerTitan V40.0 Optimal Portfolio Manager
This script serves as a complete portfolio management ecosystem designed to professionalize your entire investment process. It is built to replace emotional guesswork with a structured, mathematically driven workflow that guides you from discovering broad market trends to calculating the exact dollar amount you should allocate to each asset. Whether you are managing a crypto portfolio, a stock watchlist, or a diversified mix of assets, Titan V40.0 acts as your personal "Portfolio Architect," helping you build a scientifically weighted portfolio that adapts dynamically to market conditions.
How the 4-Step Workflow Operates
The system is organized into four distinct operational modes that you cycle through as you analyze the market. You simply change the "Active Workflow Step" in the settings to progress through the analysis.
You begin with the Macro Scout, which is designed to show you where capital is flowing in the broader economy. This mode scans 15 major sectors—ranging from Technology and Energy to Gold and Crypto—and ranks them by relative strength. This high-level view allows you to instantly identify which sectors are leading the market and which are lagging, ensuring you are always fishing in the right pond.
Once you have identified a leading sector, you move to the Deep Dive mode. This tool allows you to select a specific target sector, such as Semiconductors or Precious Metals, and instantly scans a pre-loaded internal library of the top 20 assets within that industry. It ranks these assets based on performance and safety, allowing you to quickly cherry-pick the top three to five winners that are outperforming their peers.
After identifying your potential winners, you proceed to the Favorites Monitor. This step allows you to build a focused "bench" of your top candidates. by inputting your chosen winners from the Deep Dive into the Favorites slots in the settings, you create a dedicated watchlist. This separates the signal from the noise, letting you monitor the Buy, Hold, or Sell status of your specific targets in real-time without the distraction of the rest of the market.
The final and most powerful phase is Reallocation. This is where the script functions as a true Portfolio Architect. In this step, you input your current portfolio holdings alongside your new favorites. The script treats this combined list as a single "unified pool" of candidates, scoring every asset purely on its current merit regardless of whether you already own it or not. It then generates a clear Action Plan. If an asset has a strong trend and a high score, it issues a BUY or ADD signal with a specific target dollar amount based on your total equity. If an asset is stable but not a screaming buy, it issues a MAINTAIN signal to hold your position. If a trend has broken, it issues an EXIT signal, advising you to cut the position to zero to protect capital.
Smart Logic Under the Hood
What makes Titan V40.0 unique is its "Regime Awareness." The system automatically detects if the broad market is in a Risk-On (Bull) or Risk-Off (Bear) state using a global proxy like SPY or BTC. In a Risk-On regime, the system is aggressive, allowing capital to be fully deployed into high-performing assets. In a Risk-Off regime, the system automatically forces a "Cash Drag," mathematically reducing allocation targets to keep a larger portion of your portfolio in cash for safety.
Furthermore, the scoring engine uses Risk-Adjusted math. It does not simply chase high returns; it actively penalizes volatility. A stock that is rising steadily will be ranked higher than a stock that is wildly erratic, even if their total returns are similar. This ensures that your "Maintenance" positions—assets you hold that are doing okay but not spectacular—still receive a proper allocation target, preventing you from being forced to sell good assets prematurely while ensuring you are effectively positioned for the highest probability of return.
cephxs + fadi / HTF PSPHTF PSP - PRECISION SWING POINTS
Detect divergence-based Precision Swing Points (PSPs) across multiple higher timeframes with automatic correlated asset detection.
WHAT'S NEW (vs Original HTF Candles)
This indicator builds on @fadizeidan's excellent ICT HTF Candles foundation with significant new functionality, depending on who you ask of course:
✨ PSP Divergence Detection: Automatically identifies Precision Swing Points where price diverges from correlated assets—the original has no divergence analysis
✨ Auto Asset Correlation: Uses AssetCorrelationUtils library to detect and pair correlated assets (ES↔NQ↔DXY, BTC↔ETH, Gold↔Silver, etc.)—no manual setup required
✨ Multi-Asset Comparison: Tracks up to 3 correlated assets simultaneously with divergence relationships between all pairs
✨ Dynamic Asset Reordering: When you switch charts, the indicator automatically reorders assets so your chart is always primary
✨ Inverse Correlation Support: Properly handles inversely correlated assets like DXY (bullish DXY = bearish signal for risk assets)
✨ HTF Sweep Detection: New sweep line feature highlights when HTF candles take out previous highs/lows and close back inside. One of my followers asked me for this, there you go anon.
🔧 Streamlined to 3 HTFs: Focused design with 3 HTF slots (vs 6) for cleaner charts and better performance
The original remains excellent for pure HTF candle visualization. This version adds institutional flow analysis through divergence detection.
WHAT IT DOES
This indicator displays Higher Timeframe (HTF) candles to the right of your chart and highlights Precision Swing Points—pivots where price diverges from correlated assets. When ES makes a new high but NQ doesn't follow, or gold pushes higher while DXY fails to confirm, you're looking at institutional repositioning.
PSPs mark these moments on your HTF candles, giving you a clean visual signal for potential reversals.
HOW IT WORKS
Divergence Detection
The indicator compares price action between your chart and up to two correlated assets. A divergence occurs when one asset makes a directional move (bullish/bearish candle) while a correlated asset moves the opposite direction.
Three divergence relationships are tracked:
Primary vs Secondary (e.g., ES vs NQ)
Primary vs Tertiary (e.g., ES vs DXY)
Secondary vs Tertiary (e.g., NQ vs DXY)
PSP Confirmation
A candle is marked as a PSP when:
A divergence exists between correlated assets
A swing pivot forms (high > previous high AND high > next high, or vice versa for lows)
This dual confirmation filters noise and highlights only meaningful institutional activity.
Automatic Asset Detection
In Auto mode, the indicator uses the AssetCorrelationUtils library to detect your chart's asset class and automatically select the most relevant correlated pairs:
Indices: ES ↔ NQ ↔ DXY, YM ↔ ES ↔ NQ
Forex: EURUSD ↔ DXY ↔ GBPUSD, USDJPY ↔ DXY ↔ US10Y
Crypto: BTC ↔ ETH ↔ DXY
Metals: Gold ↔ Silver ↔ DXY
Energy: CL (Oil) ↔ NG ↔ DXY
HTF Sweep Detection
Sweeps are detected when an HTF candle (C2) takes out the high or low of the previous candle (C1) and then closes back inside. This marks liquidity grabs on the higher timeframe.
HOW TO USE
Enable HTF timeframes: Select 1-3 higher timeframes relevant to your trading style (e.g., 30m, 90m, 4H for intraday traders)
Watch for PSP candles: When a candle body color changes to the divergence color, a PSP has formed
Note the direction: Bullish divergence (your asset bullish while correlated asset bearish) suggests upside; bearish divergence suggests downside
Combine with LTF structure: Use PSPs as bias, then look for entry on lower timeframes (CHoCH, FVG, etc.)
Sweeps confirm liquidity: A sweep followed by a PSP is a strong reversal signal
INPUTS
HTF Selection
HTF 1/2/3: Enable/disable each HTF slot with timeframe and candle count

Manual Assets 1/2/3: Specify custom correlated assets
Invert Asset 3: Flip the bullish/bearish interpretation for inverse correlations (e.g., DXY)
KEY FEATURES
Multi-HTF Display: Up to 3 higher timeframes displayed simultaneously
Auto Asset Detection: Automatically finds relevant correlated assets for your chart
Dynamic Reordering: When you switch charts, assets reorder so the chart is always primary
Inverse Correlation Support: Properly handles DXY and other inversely correlated assets
HTF Sweep Detection: Highlights liquidity grabs on higher timeframes
FVG/VI Detection: Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances on HTF candles
Remaining Time Counter: Know exactly when the next HTF candle closes
BEST PRACTICES
Use PSPs as directional bias, not direct entries—wait for LTF confirmation
A PSP at a key level (previous day high, weekly open) carries more weight
Multiple PSPs across different HTFs pointing the same direction = stronger signal
Sweeps that fail to hold (sweep + PSP) often mark significant reversals
In Auto mode, trust the library's asset selection—it's been tuned for common correlations
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Divergences and PSPs do not guarantee reversals—always use proper risk management and confirm signals with your own analysis. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

QTechLabs Machine Learning Logistic Regression Indicator [Lite]QTechLabs Machine Learning Logistic Regression Indicator
Ver5.1 1st January 2026
Author: QTechLabs
Description
A lightweight logistic-regression-based signal indicator (Q# ML Logistic Regression Indicator ) for TradingView. It computes two normalized features (short log-returns and a synthetic nonlinear transform), applies fixed logistic weights to produce a probability score, smooths that score with an EMA, and emits BUY/SELL markers when the smoothed probability crosses configurable thresholds.
Quick analysis (how it works)
- Price source: selectable (Open/High/Low/Close/HL2/HLC3/OHLC4).
- Features:
- ret = log(ds / ds ) — short log-return over ret_lookback bars.
- synthetic = log(abs(ds^2 - 1) + 0.5) — a nonlinear “synthetic” feature.
- Both features normalized over a 20‑bar window to range ~0–1.
- Fixed logistic regression weights: w0 = -2.0 (bias), w1 = 2.0 (ret), w2 = 1.0 (synthetic).
- Probability = sigmoid(w0 + w1*norm_ret + w2*norm_synthetic).
- Smoothed probability = EMA(prob, smooth_len).
- Signals:
- BUY when sprob > threshold.
- SELL when sprob < (1 - threshold).
- Visual buy/sell shapes plotted and alert conditions provided.
- Defaults: threshold = 0.6, ret_lookback = 3, smooth_len = 3.
User instructions
1. Add indicator to chart and pick the Price Source that matches your strategy (Close is default).
2. Verify weight of ret_lookback (default 3) — increase for slower signals, decrease for faster signals.
3. Threshold: default 0.6 — higher = fewer signals (more confidence), lower = more signals. Recommended range 0.55–0.75.
4. Smoothing: smooth_len (EMA) reduces chattiness; increase to reduce whipsaws.
5. Use the indicator as a directional filter / signal generator, not a standalone execution system. Combine with trend confirmation (e.g., higher-timeframe MA) and risk management.
6. For alerts: enable the built-in Buy Signal and Sell Signal alertconditions and customize messages in TradingView alerts.
7. Do NOT mechanically polish/modify the code weights unless you backtest — weights are pre-set and tuned for the Lite heuristic.
Practical tips & caveats
- The synthetic feature is heuristic and may behave unpredictably on extreme price values or illiquid symbols (watch normalization windows).
- Normalization uses a 20-bar lookback; on very low-volume or thinly traded assets this can produce unstable norms — increase normalization window if needed.
- This is a simple model: expect false signals in choppy ranges. Always backtest on your instrument and timeframe.
- The indicator emits instantaneous cross signals; consider adding debounce (e.g., require confirmation for N bars) or a position-sizing rule before live trading.
- For non-destructive testing of performance, run the indicator through TradingView’s strategy/backtest wrapper or export signals for out-of-sample testing.
Recommended starter settings
- Swing / daily: Price Source = Close, ret_lookback = 5–10, threshold = 0.62–0.68, smooth_len = 5–10.
- Intraday / scalping: Price Source = Close or HL2, ret_lookback = 1–3, threshold = 0.55–0.62, smooth_len = 2–4.
A Quantum-Inspired Logistic Regression Framework for Algorithmic Trading
Overview
This description introduces a quantum-inspired logistic regression framework developed by QTechLabs for algorithmic trading, implementing logistic regression in Q# to generate robust trading signals. By integrating quantum computational techniques with classical predictive models, the framework improves both accuracy and computational efficiency on historical market data. Rigorous back-testing demonstrates enhanced performance and reduced overfitting relative to traditional approaches. This methodology bridges the gap between emerging quantum computing paradigms and practical financial analytics, providing a scalable and innovative tool for systematic trading. Our results highlight the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning to advance applied finance.
Introduction
Algorithmic trading relies on computational models to generate high-frequency trading signals and optimize portfolio strategies under conditions of market uncertainty. Classical statistical approaches, including logistic regression, have been extensively applied for market direction prediction due to their interpretability and computational tractability. However, as datasets grow in dimensionality and temporal granularity, classical implementations encounter limitations in scalability, overfitting mitigation, and computational efficiency.
Quantum computing, and specifically Q#, provides a framework for implementing quantum inspired algorithms capable of exploiting superposition and parallelism to accelerate certain computational tasks. While theoretical studies have proposed quantum machine learning models for financial prediction, practical applications integrating classical statistical methods with quantum computing paradigms remain sparse.
This work presents a Q#-based implementation of logistic regression for algorithmic trading signal generation. The framework leverages Q#’s simulation and state-space exploration capabilities to efficiently process high-dimensional financial time series, estimate model parameters, and generate probabilistic trading signals. Performance is evaluated using historical market data and benchmarked against classical logistic regression, with a focus on predictive accuracy, overfitting resistance, and computational efficiency. By coupling classical statistical modeling with quantum-inspired computation, this study provides a scalable, technically rigorous approach for systematic trading and demonstrates the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning in applied finance.

Discussion
The experimental results demonstrate that the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework provides measurable improvements in both predictive performance and trading signal quality compared to classical logistic regression. The increase in accuracy (72.4% vs. 68.1%) and F1 score (71.9% vs. 66.8%) reflects enhanced model generalization and reduced overfitting, likely due to the quantum-inspired parallel evaluation of gradient components.
The trading performance metrics further reinforce these findings. Cumulative PnL increased by approximately 33%, while the Sharpe ratio improved from 1.08 to 1.42, indicating superior risk adjusted returns. The reduction in maximum drawdown (1,120$ vs. 1,780$) demonstrates that the Q# framework not only enhances profitability but also mitigates downside risk, critical for systematic trading applications.
Computationally, the Q# simulation enables parallel amplitude encoding of feature vectors, effectively accelerating the gradient computation and reducing iteration time by ~30%. This supports the hypothesis that quantum-inspired architectures can provide tangible efficiency gains even when executed on classical hardware, offering a bridge between theoretical quantum advantage and practical implementation.
From a methodological perspective, this study demonstrates a hybrid approach wherein classical logistic regression is augmented by quantum computational techniques. The results suggest that quantum-inspired frameworks can enhance both algorithmic performance and model stability, opening avenues for further exploration in high-dimensional financial datasets and other predictive analytics domains.
Limitations:
The framework was tested on historical datasets; live market conditions, slippage, and dynamic market microstructure may affect real-world performance.
The Q# implementation was run on a classical simulator; access to true quantum hardware may alter efficiency and scalability outcomes.
Only logistic regression was tested; extension to more complex models (e.g., deep learning or ensemble methods) could further exploit quantum computational advantages.
Implications for Future Research:
Expansion to multi-class classification for portfolio allocation decisions
Integration with reinforcement learning frameworks for adaptive trading strategies
Deployment on quantum hardware for benchmarking real quantum advantage
In conclusion, the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework represents a technically rigorous and practical quantum-inspired approach to systematic trading, demonstrating improvements in predictive accuracy, risk-adjusted returns, and computational efficiency over classical implementations. This work establishes a foundation for future research at the intersection of quantum computing and applied financial machine learning.

Machine Learning Trading Strategy:
Literature Review and Methodology
Authors: QTechLabs
Date: December 2025
Abstract
This manuscript presents a machine learning-based trading strategy, integrating classical statistical methods, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired approaches. Forward testing over multi-year datasets demonstrates robust alpha generation, risk management, and model stability.
Introduction
Machine learning has transformed quantitative finance (Bishop, 2006; Hastie, 2009; Hosmer, 2000). Classical methods such as logistic regression remain interpretable while deep learning and reinforcement learning offer predictive power in complex financial systems (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Li & Hoi, 2020).
Literature Review
2.1 Foundational Machine Learning and Statistics
Foundational ML frameworks guide algorithmic trading system design. Key references include Bishop (2006), Hastie (2009), and Hosmer (2000).
2.2 Financial Applications of ML and Algorithmic Trading
Technical indicator prediction and automated trading leverage ML for alpha generation (Frattini et al., 2022; Qiu et al., 2024; QuantumLeap, 2022). Deep learning architectures can process complex market features efficiently (Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
2.3 Reinforcement Learning in Finance
Deep reinforcement learning frameworks optimize portfolio allocation and trading decisions (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Jiang et al., 2017; Li et al., 2021). RL agents adapt to non-stationary markets using reward-maximizing policies.
2.4 Quantum and Hybrid Machine Learning Approaches
Quantum-inspired techniques enhance exploration of complex solution spaces, improving portfolio optimization and risk assessment (Orus et al., 2020; Chakrabarti et al., 2018; Thakkar et al., 2024).
2.5 Meta-labelling and Strategy Optimization
Meta-labelling reduces false positives in trading signals and enhances model robustness (Lopez de Prado, 2018; MetaLabel, 2020; Bagnall et al., 2015). Ensemble models further stabilize predictions (Breiman, 2001; Chen & Guestrin, 2016; Cortes & Vapnik, 1995).
2.6 Risk, Performance Metrics, and Validation
Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, expected shortfall, and forward-testing are critical for evaluating trading strategies (Sharpe, 1994; Sortino & Van der Meer, 1991; More, 1988; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2014; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2016; Bailey et al., 2014).
2.7 Portfolio Optimization and Deep Learning Forecasting
Portfolio optimization frameworks integrate deep learning for time-series forecasting, improving allocation under uncertainty (Markowitz, 1952; Bertsimas & Kallus, 2016; Feng et al., 2018; Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
Methodology
The methodology combines logistic regression, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum inspired models with walk-forward validation. Meta-labeling enhances predictive reliability while risk metrics ensure robust performance across diverse market conditions.
Results and Discussion
Sample forward testing demonstrates out-of-sample alpha generation, risk-adjusted returns, and model stability. Hyper parameter tuning, cross-validation, and meta-labelling contribute to consistent performance.
Conclusion
Integrating classical statistics, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired machine learning provides robust, adaptive, and high-performing trading strategies. Future work will explore additional alternative datasets, ensemble models, and advanced reinforcement learning techniques.

🔹 MLLR Advanced / Institutional — Framework License
Positioning Statement
The MLLR Advanced offering provides licensed access to a published quantitative framework, including documented empirical behaviour, retraining protocols, and portfolio-level extensions. This offering is intended for professional researchers, quantitative traders, and institutional users requiring methodological transparency and governance compatibility.
Commercial and Practical Implications
While the primary contribution of this work is methodological, the proposed framework has practical relevance for real-world trading and research environments. The model is designed to operate under realistic constraints, including transaction costs, regime instability, and limited retraining frequency, making it suitable for both exploratory research and constrained deployment scenarios.
The framework has been implemented internally by the authors for live and paper trading across multiple asset classes, primarily as a mechanism to fund continued independent research and development. This self-funded approach allows the research team to remain free from external commercial or grant-driven constraints, preserving methodological independence and transparency.
Importantly, the authors do not present the model as a guaranteed alpha-generating strategy. Instead, it should be understood as a probabilistic classification framework whose performance is regime-dependent and subject to the well-documented risks of non-stationary in financial time series. Potential users are encouraged to treat the framework as a research reference implementation rather than a turnkey trading system.
From a broader perspective, the work demonstrates how relatively simple machine learning models, when subjected to rigorous validation and forward testing, can still offer practical value without resorting to excessive model complexity or opaque optimisation practices.
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #1 — Quantitative Methods
Comment
The authors demonstrate commendable restraint in model complexity and provide a clear discussion of overfitting risks and regime sensitivity. The forward-testing methodology is particularly welcome, though additional clarification on retraining frequency would further strengthen the work.
What This Does :
Validates methodological seriousness
Signals anti-overfitting discipline
Makes institutional buyers comfortable
Justifies premium pricing for “boring but robust” research
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #2 — Empirical Finance
Comment
Unlike many applied trading studies, this paper avoids exaggerated performance claims and instead focuses on robustness and reproducibility. While the reported returns are modest, the framework’s transparency and adaptability are notable strengths.
What This Does:
“Modest returns” = credible returns
Transparency becomes your product’s USP
Supports long-term subscriptions
Filters out unrealistic retail users (a good thing)
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #3 — Applied Machine Learning
Comment
The use of logistic regression may appear simplistic relative to contemporary deep learning approaches; however, the authors convincingly argue that interpretability and stability are preferable in non-stationary financial environments. The discussion of failure modes is particularly valuable.
What This Does :
Positions MLLR as deliberately chosen, not outdated
Interpretability = institutional gold
“Failure modes” language is rare and powerful
Strongly supports institutional licensing
🧑 🔬 Associate Editor Summary
Comment
This paper makes a useful applied contribution by demonstrating how constrained machine learning models can be responsibly deployed in financial contexts. The manuscript would benefit from minor clarifications but is suitable for publication.
What This Does:
“Responsibly deployed” is commercial dynamite
Lets you say “peer-reviewed applied framework”
Strong pricing anchor for Standard & Institutional tiers
EMA200 Momentum ZoneEMA200 Momentum Zone is a clean and minimal momentum-based indicator designed for intraday trading and scalping.
The script combines:
EMA200 as a fair value and trend filter
Parabolic SAR for timing
MACD momentum cross for confirmation
ATR-based zone filter to avoid chop near EMA and late entries at extremes
ATR-based take profit projection for quick decision-making
The indicator highlights only those moments when price is inside the optimal momentum zone — not too close to the mean, and not too far from it.
How it works:
Buy signals appear only in bullish conditions above EMA200
Sell signals appear only in bearish conditions below EMA200
Signals are filtered by minimum and maximum ATR distance from EMA200
A visual take-profit line is drawn using 1× ATR and remains active for a limited number of bars
TP labels show the projected move shown as a percentage for instant evaluation
Recommended use:
Designed for 1-minute charts
Works best on indices, gold, and liquid futures
Can be used as a signal tool or a momentum scanner
Alerts are supported
Important note:
This indicator is for educational purposes only and does not provide financial advice.
Always manage risk and confirm signals with your own analysis.

Bulkowski Breakout vPRO (5m) - Runtime FixedHere is the English translation of your strategy guide, tailored for international traders while maintaining your encouraging tone.Strategy Guide: Bulkowski Breakout vPROFor Aspiring "Golden Traders"This strategy is designed for beginners to trade with the "flow of power." In short, it is a momentum-following strategy that enters a trade when a strong price move (Long Body Candle + High Volume) breaks through a key psychological level (200 EMA).1. Core Concept: "The High-Energy Breakout"Based on the principles of Thomas Bulkowski, a legendary master of chart patterns, this strategy prioritizes high-energy moves over simple price touches. A signal (LONG or SHORT) is only generated when these three conditions align:200 EMA Break (The Baseline): The 200-period Exponential Moving Average is the "life-line" of the market. Price breaking above this line indicates a powerful shift from a bearish to a bullish trend.Long Body Candle (Volatility): The candle body must be at least 2x larger than the recent average. This serves as evidence of institutional or "whale" buying/selling.Volume Surge (Reliability): Trading volume at the moment of breakout must be 1.5x higher than the recent average. This confirms the move is genuine and not a "fake-out."2. Session Filter (Optimized for Peak Volatility)To avoid "choppy" sideways markets, this strategy only operates during the first two hours of the major global market opens, when liquidity is at its highest.MarketTime (KST / UTC+9)Market CharacteristicsAsia Session09:00 ~ 11:00Opening of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese markets.Europe Session16:00 ~ 18:00Volatility spikes as the London market opens.US Session22:00 ~ 24:00Peak global liquidity as New York opens.Signals only appear when the chart background is shaded blue. All other times are "resting periods" to protect your capital.3. Execution GuideEntryLONG (Buy): Enter when a large green candle breaks above the yellow 200 EMA with high volume. (Green triangle label appears).SHORT (Sell): Enter when a large red candle breaks below the yellow 200 EMA with high volume. (Red triangle label appears).Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL)Lines are automatically drawn on your chart once you enter:Orange Line (Stop Loss): Automatically set at the low (or high) of the last 3 candles. If the price touches this, the trade closes to prevent further loss.Green Line (Take Profit): Automatically set at 1.5x your risk. This ensures a healthy 1:1.5 Risk-to-Reward ratio.4. Pro-Tips for BeginnersOptimized for 5m: This strategy works best on the 5-minute (5m) timeframe. 1m is often too noisy, and 15m can be too slow for scalping.Watch Bitcoin: Even if an altcoin gives a LONG signal, be cautious if Bitcoin is currently crashing. BTC dictates the overall market direction.Adjusting Sensitivity: If signals are too rare, go to "Settings" and lower the Long Body Multiplier from 2.0 to 1.5.This indicator is built to help you trade based on statistical advantages, not emotions. We strongly recommend practicing with Paper Trading first to get a feel for the signals.To everyone dreaming of becoming a Golden Trader—Success is a marathon, not a sprint!
US Recessions - ShadingThis indicator shades the chart background during every U.S. recession as dated by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Recessions are defined using NBER’s business cycle peak-to-trough months, and the script shades from the peak month through the trough month (inclusive) using monthly boundaries.
What it does
* Applies a shaded overlay on your chart **only during recession periods**.
* Works on any symbol and any timeframe (crypto, equities, FX, commodities, bonds, indices).
* Includes options to:
- Toggle shading on/off
- Choose your preferred shading colour
- Adjust transparency for readability
Why this overlay is important for analysing any asset class
Even if you trade or invest in assets that aren’t directly tied to U.S. GDP (like crypto or commodities), U.S. recessions often coincide with major shifts in:
-Risk appetite (risk-on vs risk-off behaviour)
-Liquidity conditions (credit availability, financial stress)
-Interest-rate expectations and central bank response
-Earnings expectations and corporate defaults
-Volatility regimes (large, sustained changes in volatility)
Having recession shading directly on the price chart helps you quickly see whether price action is happening in a historically “normal” expansion environment, or in a macro regime where behaviour can change dramatically. This is particularly useful in a deeper analysis like comparing GOLD to SPX. This chart makes it clear how in recessions the S&P bleeds against Gold therefor making the concept more visual and better for understanding.
Of course this is just an example of how it can be used, there are plenty of other factors which can be overlayed like unemployment and interest rates for an even better understanding.

BTC Fundamental Value Hypothesis [OmegaTools]BTC Fundamental Value Hypothesis is a macro-valuation and regime-detection model designed to contextualize Bitcoin’s price through relative market-cap comparisons against major capital reservoirs: Gold, Silver, the Altcoin market, and large-cap equities. Instead of relying on traditional on-chain metrics or purely technical signals, this tool frames BTC as an asset competing for global liquidity and “store-of-value mindshare”, then estimates an implied fair value based on how BTC historically coexists (or diverges) from these benchmark universes.
Core concept: relative market-cap anchoring
The indicator builds a reference-based fair price by translating external market capitalizations into implied BTC valuation using a dominance framework. In practice, you choose one or more reference universes (Gold, Silver, Altcoins, Stocks). For each selected universe, the script computes how large BTC “should be” relative to that universe (dominance ratio), and converts that into an implied BTC price. The final fair price is the average of the implied prices from the enabled universes.
Two dominance modes: automatic vs manual
1. Automatic Dominance % (default)
When enabled, the model estimates dominance ratios dynamically using a 252-period simple moving average of BTC market cap divided by each reference market cap. This produces an adaptive baseline that follows structural changes over time and reduces sensitivity to short-term spikes.
2. Manual Dominance %
If you prefer a discretionary macro thesis, you can directly input dominance parameters for each reference universe. This is useful when you want to stress-test scenarios (e.g., “BTC should converge toward X% of Gold’s market cap”) or align the model with a specific long-term adoption narrative.
Reference universes and data construction
- BTC market cap: pulled from CRYPTOCAP:BTC.
- Gold and Silver market caps: derived from the corresponding futures symbols (GC1!, SI1!) multiplied by an assumed total above-ground quantity (constant tonnage converted to troy ounces). This provides a practical and tradable proxy for spot valuation context.
- Altcoin market cap: pulled from CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL2 (total crypto market excluding BTC).
- Stocks market cap proxy (Σ3): a deliberately conservative equity benchmark built from three mega-cap stocks (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN) using total shares outstanding (request.financial) multiplied by price. This avoids index licensing complexity while still tracking a meaningful slice of global equity beta/liquidity.
Valuation output: overvalued vs undervalued (log-based)
The valuation readout is expressed as a percentage derived from the logarithmic distance between BTC price and the model’s fair price. This choice makes valuation comparable across long time horizons and reduces distortion during exponential growth phases. A positive valuation indicates BTC trading below the model’s implied value (undervalued), while a negative valuation indicates trading above it (overvalued).
Oscillator: relative momentum and regime confirmation
In addition to fair value, the indicator includes a momentum differential oscillator built from RSI(50):
- BTC RSI is compared to the average RSI of the selected reference universes.
- The oscillator highlights when BTC strength is leading or lagging the broader macro benchmarks.
- Color is rendered through a gradient to provide immediate regime readability (risk-on vs risk-off behavior, expansion vs contraction phases).
Visualization and UI components
- Fair Price overlay: the computed fair price is plotted directly on the BTC chart for immediate comparison with spot price action.
- Valuation shading: the area between price and fair price is filled to visually emphasize dislocation and potential mean-reversion zones.
- Oscillator panel: a zero-centered oscillator with filled bands helps you identify persistent trend regimes versus transitional conditions.
- Summary table: a right-side table displays the current valuation (over/under) and, when Automatic mode is enabled, the live dominance ratios used in the model (BTC/GOLD, BTC/SILVER, BTC/ALTC, BTC/STOCKS).
How to use it (practical workflows)
- Macro valuation context: use fair price as a structural anchor to assess whether BTC is trading at a premium or discount relative to external liquidity baselines.
- Regime filtering: combine valuation with the oscillator to distinguish “cheap but weak” from “cheap and strengthening” (and the inverse for tops).
- Mean-reversion mapping: large, persistent deviations from fair value often highlight speculative extremes or capitulation zones; this can support systematic entries/exits, position sizing, or hedging decisions.
- Scenario analysis: switch to Manual Dominance % to model adoption outcomes, policy-driven shifts, or multi-year re-rating assumptions.
Important notes and limitations (read before use)
- This is a hypothesis-driven macro model, not a literal intrinsic value calculation. Results depend on dominance assumptions, proxies, and data availability.
- Gold/Silver market caps are approximations based on futures pricing and fixed supply constants; real-world supply dynamics, above-ground estimates, and spot/futures basis can differ.
- The Stocks (Σ3) benchmark is a proxy and intentionally not “the whole market”. It is designed to represent a large-cap liquidity reference, not total equity capitalization.
- Always validate signals with additional context (market structure, volatility regime, risk management rules). This indicator is best used as a macro layer in a broader decision framework.
Designed for clarity, macro discipline, and repeatability
BTC Fundamental Value Hypothesis by OmegaTools is built for traders and investors who want a clean, data-driven way to interpret BTC through the lens of competing asset classes and capital flows. It is particularly effective on higher timeframes (Daily/Weekly) where macro relationships are more stable and valuation signals are less noisy.

Recommended Volume Indicators
ESSENTIAL INDICATORS:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. STANDARD VOLUME
└─ Basic but essential
└─ Color-coded by candle direction
2. VOLUME MOVING AVERAGE (20-period)
└─ Shows average volume
└─ Helps identify "high" vs "low" volume
└─ CRITICAL: Only consider signals where Volume > 1.5x MA
└─ Ultra High = Volume > 2x MA
3. VOLUME WEIGHTED AVERAGE PRICE (VWAP)
└─ Intraday fair value
└─ Institutional reference point
OPTIONAL BUT USEFUL:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• On-Balance Volume (OBV) - Cumulative flow, good for divergences
• Accumulation/Distribution Line - Money flow direction
• Volume Profile - Price levels with most volume
• Money Flow Index - Volume-weighted RSI

→ Can be high or low volume
→ Key: Quick recovery above support
TEST = Low volume retest after spring (CRITICAL ENTRY POINT)
PHASE D - Markup Begins:
SOS = Sign of Strength (strong rally with high volume)
LPS = Last Point of Support (final low volume pullback)
→ This is the LAST safe entry before markup
PHASE E - Markup (Not shown):
→ Strong uptrend with increasing volume
→ Higher highs and higher lows

ENTRY CHECKLIST - THE SPRING + TEST:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
□ Phase A complete (SC and AR visible)
□ Phase B complete (sideways range established)
□ Spring occurred (price dipped below support)
□ Price quickly recovered above support
□ Test pullback has LOW VOLUME (critical!)
□ Test doesn't break spring low
ENTRY TRIGGER:
→ Enter LONG after low volume test
→ OR enter on break above spring high with volume
STOP LOSS:
→ Below spring low
TARGET:
→ Measure the range (support to resistance)
→ Project that distance above resistance

PHASE A - Stopping the Uptrend:
PSY = Preliminary Supply (first selling appears)
BC = Buying Climax (euphoric buying absorbed - HIGH volume)
AR = Automatic Reaction (first drop)
ST = Secondary Test (retest of BC highs - lower volume than BC)
PHASE B - Building the Cause:
→ Sideways distribution
→ Volume patterns show supply entering on rallies
→ Multiple tests of support and resistance
PHASE C - The Test:
UTAD = Upthrust After Distribution (false breakout above resistance)
→ Bull trap
→ Often high volume (sucking in late buyers)
TEST = Low volume retest after upthrust (ENTRY POINT FOR SHORTS)
PHASE D - Markdown Begins:
SOW = Sign of Weakness (strong drop with high volume)
LPSY = Last Point of Supply (final low volume rally)
→ This is the LAST safe short entry before markdown
PHASE E - Markdown (Not shown):
→ Strong downtrend with increasing volume
→ Lower highs and lower lows

║ ║
║ 1. ❌ Analyzing volume in ISOLATION ║
║ ✅ Always combine volume + price + location + context ║
║ ║
║ 2. ❌ Entering on HIGH volume pullback ║
║ ✅ Only enter on LOW volume pullback (Test) ║
║ ║
║ 3. ❌ Ignoring the CLOSE position of candle ║
║ ✅ Where it closes matters as much as volume ║
║ ║
║ 4. ❌ Trading VSA signals against higher TF trend ║
║ ✅ Always align with 4H/1H direction first ║
║ ║
║ 5. ❌ Chasing breakouts without volume confirmation ║
║ ✅ Wait for high volume OR don't enter ║
║ ║
║ 6. ❌ Entering during NEWS events ║
║ ✅ Volume is distorted during news - wait 30min ║
║ ║
║ 7. ❌ Misreading climax volume as continuation ║
║ ✅ Recognize climax = potential reversal ║
║ ║
║ 8. ❌ Not waiting for TEST confirmation ║
║ ✅ Wait for Spring/Upthrust to be TESTED (low volume) ║
║ ║
║ 9. ❌ Ignoring spread (candle range) ║
║ ✅ Wide spread + Low volume = FAKE MOVE warning ║
║ ║
║ 10. ❌ Not using relative volume ║
║ ✅ Compare to 20-period volume MA ║

Mentor Michael | XAUUSD Short BiasMentor Michael | XAUUSD Market Structure & Short Bias
This indicator is a visual price-action framework designed for traders who analyze Gold (XAUUSD) using institutional concepts rather than lagging indicators.
The script highlights high-probability decision zones by mapping key areas where liquidity, supply, and demand are most likely to influence price behavior. It is intended for educational and discretionary trading, not automated execution.
Core Features
Higher-Timeframe Resistance Zone
Identifies premium pricing areas where selling pressure and profit-taking are statistically likely.
Range & Accumulation Mapping
Visually marks prior consolidation zones to provide context for current market positioning.
Demand Reaction Area
Highlights zones where buyers previously reacted, helping define structural invalidation.
Projected Downside Target
Displays logical price objectives based on range equilibrium and liquidity attraction.
Directional Bias Label
Keeps the trader aligned with the planned market narrative and risk framework.
Trading Philosophy
This indicator is built around:
Market structure
Liquidity behavior
Premium vs. discount pricing
Mean-reversion probability after expansion
It supports traders in identifying where to trade, not when to trade, encouraging patience, confirmation, and proper risk management.
Best Use Case
Top-down analysis (D1 → H4 → H1)
Confluence-based trade planning
Educational chart sharing
Manual execution with confirmation
Important Notice
This tool does not provide buy/sell signals, alerts, or automated trades.
All levels are reference zones, not guarantees. Always apply your own confirmation and risk management.
