Loft Strategy V4This strategy is an advanced version of the Loft Strategy V1, I shared earlier. (Loft Strategy V1 consists of a kalman filter (by alexgrover ) and a "stop and reverse" line which is following and the kalman filter. If the price goes in the same direction as the position side, the "stop and reverse" line approaches the kalman filter as set on the "Approach Decrease Step" parameter.)
In addition to the previous version, it includes a martingale like deviation and multiple take-profit.
Here it is some parameters definitions of the strategy:
Kalman Filter: The higher this parameter, the faster and more aggressive the filter. Otherwise the filter goes very smoothly
Beginning Approach: First approximation as a percentage of stop-n-reverse line
Final Approach: Minimum approximation of stop-n-reverse line
Approach Decrease Step: If the price moves in the same direction as the strategy, the approach percentage is reduced by this parameter. Otherwise nothing do
Base Order Quantity: Initial capital of position
Max Safe Order Attempt: This parameter determines the maximum number of times the strategy will raise the bet after losing in a row.
Safe Order Deviation: if the last trade is loss, multiply the bet by this parameter (aka. martingale factor)
Profit Deviation: if last trade in loss, multiply the take-profit points
Max Order Quantity: Maximum capital allowed for a position
TP1, TP2, TP3 : Take profit spots in percentage
QT1, QT2, QT3: Amount of take-profit spots
Stop Loss: Maximum stop loss allowed for a trade
Long Entry, Short Entry: Only long side, only short side or both side
Safe Stop After TP2: If the price reaches the TP2 point, move the stop-loss point to the entry price.
Safe Stop After TP1: If the price reaches TP1, move the stop-loss point to the stop-n-reverse line.

Strategy█ OVERVIEW
This library is a Pine Script™ programmer’s tool containing a variety of strategy-related functions to assist in calculations like profit and loss, stop losses and limits. It also includes several useful functions one can use to convert between units in ticks, price, currency or a percentage of the position's size.
█ CONCEPTS
The library contains three types of functions:
1 — Functions beginning with `percent` take either a portion of a price, or the current position's entry price and convert it to the value outlined in the function's documentation.
Example: Converting a percent of the current position entry price to ticks, or calculating a percent profit at a given level for the position.
2 — Functions beginning with `tick` convert a tick value to another form.
These are useful for calculating a price or currency value from a specified number of ticks.
3 — Functions containing `Level` are used to calculate a stop or take profit level using an offset in ticks from the current entry price.
These functions can be used to plot stop or take profit levels on the chart, or as arguments to the `limit` and `stop` parameters in strategy.exit() function calls.
Note that these calculated levels flip automatically with the position's bias.
For example, using `ticksToStopLevel()` will calculate a stop level under the entry price for a long position, and above the entry price for a short position.
There are also two functions to assist in calculating a position size using the entry's stop and a fixed risk expressed as a percentage of the current account's equity. By varying the position size this way, you ensure that entries with different stop levels risk the same proportion of equity.
█ NOTES
Example code using some of the library's functions is included at the end of the library. To see it in action, copy the library's code to a new script in the Pine Editor, and “Add to chart”.
For each trade, the code displays:
• The entry level in orange.
• The stop level in fuchsia.
• The take profit level in green.
The stop and take profit levels automatically flip sides based on whether the current position is long or short.
Labels near the last trade's levels display the percentages used to calculate them, which can be changed in the script's inputs.
We plot markers for entries and exits because strategy code in libraries does not display the usual markers for them.
Look first. Then leap.

Double SupertrendThis strategy is based on a custom indicator that was created based on the Supertrend indicator. At its core, there are always 2 super trend indicators with different factors to reduce market noise (false signals).
The strategy/indicator has some parameters to improve the signals and filters.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
☑ Show Indicators
This option will enable/disable the Supertrend indicators on the chart.
☑ Length
The length will be used on the Supertrend Indicator to calculate its values.
☑ Dev Fast
The fast deviation or factor from one of the super trend indicators. This will be the leading indicator for entry signals, as well as for the exit signals.
☑ Dev Slow
The slow deviation or factor from one of the super trend indicators. This will be the confirmation indicator for entry and exit signals.
☑ Exit Type
It's possible to select from 4 options for the exit signals. Exit signals always take profit target.
☑ ⥹ Reversals
This option will make the strategy/indicator calculate the exit signals based on the difference between the given period's highest and lowest candle value (see Period on this list). It's displayed on the chart with the cross. As it's possible to verify in the image below, there are multiple exit spots for every entry.
☑ ⥹ ATR
Using ATR as a base indicator for exit signals will make the strategy/indicator place limit/stop orders. Candle High + ATR for longs, Candle Low - ATR for shorts. The strategy will show the ATR level for take profit and stick with it until the next signal. This way, the take profit value remains based on the candle of the entry signal.
☑ ⥹ Fast Supertrend
With this option selected, the exit signals will be based on the Fast Supertsignal value, mirrored to make a profit.
☑ ⥹ Slow Supertrend
With this option selected, the exit signals will be based on the Slow Supertsignal value, which is mirrored to take profit.
☑ Period
This will represent the number of candles used on the exit signals when Reversals is selected as Exit Type. It's also used to calculate the gradient used on the Fills and Supertrend signals.
☑ Multiplier
It's used on the take profit when the ATR option is selected on the Exit Type.
STRATEGY
☑ Use The Strategy
This will enable/disable the strategy to show the trades calculations.
☑ Show Use Long/Short Entries
Option to make the strategy show/use Long or Short signals. Available only if Use The Strategy is enabled
☑ Show Use Exit Long/Short
Option to make the strategy show/use Exit Long or Short signals (valid when Reversals option is selected on the Exit Type). Available only if Use The Strategy is enabled
☑ Show Use Add Long/Short
Option to make the strategy show/use Add Long or Short signals. With this option enabled, the strategy will place multiple trades in the same direction, almost the same concept as a pyramiding parameter. It's based on the Fast Supersignal when the candle fails to cross and reverses. Available only if Use The Strategy is enabled
☑ Trades Date Start/End
The date range that the strategy will check the market data and make the trades
HOW TO USE
It's very straightforward. A long signal will appear as a green arrow with a text Long below it. A short signal will appear as a red arrow with a text Short above it. It's ideal to wait for the candle to finish to validate the signal.
The exit signals are optional but give a good idea of the configuration used when backtesting. Each market and timeframe will have its own configuration for the best results. On average, sticking to ATR as an exit signal will have less risk than the other options.
☑ Entry Signals
Follow the arrows with Long/Short texts on them. Wait for the signal candle to close to validate the entry.
☑ Exit Signals
Use them to close your position or to trail stop your orders and maximize profits. Select the exit type suitable for each timeframe and market
☑ Add Entries
It's possible to increase the position following the add margin/contracts based on the Add signals. Not mandatory, but may work as reentries or late entries using the same signal.
☑ What about Stop Loss?
The stop-loss levels were not included as a separated signal because it's already in the chart. There are some possible ideas for the stop loss:
☑⥹ Candle High/Low (2nd recommend option)
When it's a Long signal from the entry signal candle, the stop loss can be the Low value of the same candle. Very tight stop loss in some cases, depending on the candle range
☑⥹ Local Top/Bottom
Selecting the local top/bottom as stop loss will give the strategy more room for false breakouts or reversals, keeping the trade open and minimizing noises. Increases the risk
☑⥹ Fast Supertrend (1st recommend option)
The fast supertrend can be used as stop-loss as well. making it a moving level and working close to trail stop management
☑⥹ Fixed Percentage
It's possible to use a fixed risk percentage for the trades, making the risk easier to control and project. Since the market volatility is not fixed, this may affect the accuracy of the trades
☑⥹ Based on the ATR (3rd recommend option)
When the exit type option ATR is selected, it will display the take profit level for that entry. Just mirror that value and put it as stop-loss, or multiply that amount by 1.5 to have more room for market noise.
EXAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS
Here are some configuration ideas for some markets (all of them are from crypto, especially futures markets)
BTCUSDT 15min - Default configuration
BTCUSDT 1h - Length 10 | Dev Fast 3 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type ATR | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
BTCUSDT 4h - Length 10 | Dev Fast 2 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type ATR | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
ETHUSDT 15min - Length 20 | Dev Fast 1 | Dev Slow 3 | Exit Type Fast Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
IOTAUSDT 15min - Length 10 | Dev Fast 1 | Dev Slow 2 | Exit Type Slow Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
OMGUSDT 15min - Length 10 | Dev Fast 1 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type Slow Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
VETUSDT 15min - Length 10 | Dev Fast 3 | Dev Slow 4 | Exit Type Slow Supertrend | Period 50 | Multiplier 1
HOW TO FIND OTHER CONFIGURATIONS
Here are some steps to find suitable configurations
select a market and time frame
enable the Use This Strategy option on the strategy
open the strategy tester panel and select the performance summary
open the strategy configuration and go to properties
change the balance to the same price of the symbol (example: BTCUSDT 60.000, use 60.000 as balance)
go back to the inputs tab and keep changing the parameters until you see the net profit be positive and bigger than the absolute value of the drawdown
in case you can't find a suitable configuration, try other timeframes
Since the tester reflects what happened in the past candles, it's not guaranteed to give the same results. However, this indicator/Strategy can be used with other indicators as a leading signal or confirmation signal.
888 BOT #backtest█ 888 BOT #backtest (open source)
This is an Expert Advisor 'EA' or Automated trading script for ‘longs’ and ‘shorts’, which uses only a Take Profit or, in the worst case, a Stop Loss to close the trade.
It's a much improved version of the previous ‘Repanocha’. It doesn`t use 'Trailing Stop' or 'security()' functions (although using a security function doesn`t mean that the script repaints) and all signals are confirmed, therefore the script doesn`t repaint in alert mode and is accurate in backtest mode.
Apart from the previous indicators, some more and other functions have been added for Stop-Loss, re-entry and leverage.
It uses 8 indicators, (many of you already know what they are, but in case there is someone new), these are the following:
1. Jurik Moving Average
It's a moving average created by Mark Jurik for professionals which eliminates the 'lag' or delay of the signal. It's better than other moving averages like EMA , DEMA , AMA or T3.
There are two ways to decrease noise using JMA . Increasing the 'LENGTH' parameter will cause JMA to move more slowly and therefore reduce noise at the expense of adding 'lag'
The 'JMA LENGTH', 'PHASE' and 'POWER' parameters offer a way to select the optimal balance between 'lag' and over boost.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
2. Range filter
Created by Donovan Wall, its function is to filter or eliminate noise and to better determine the price trend in the short term.
First, a uniform average price range 'SAMPLING PERIOD' is calculated for the filter base and multiplied by a specific quantity 'RANGE MULTIPLIER'.
The filter is then calculated by adjusting price movements that do not exceed the specified range.
Finally, the target ranges are plotted to show the prices that will trigger the filter movement.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
3. Average Directional Index ( ADX Classic) and ( ADX Masanakamura)
It's an indicator designed by Welles Wilder to measure the strength and direction of the market trend. The price movement is strong when the ADX has a positive slope and is above a certain minimum level 'ADX THRESHOLD' and for a given period 'ADX LENGTH'.
The green color of the bars indicates that the trend is bullish and that the ADX is above the level established by the threshold.
The red color of the bars indicates that the trend is down and that the ADX is above the threshold level.
The orange color of the bars indicates that the price is not strong and will surely lateralize.
You can choose between the classic option and the one created by a certain 'Masanakamura'. The main difference between the two is that in the first it uses RMA () and in the second SMA () in its calculation.
4. Parabolic SAR
This indicator, also created by Welles Wilder, places points that help define a trend. The Parabolic SAR can follow the price above or below, the peculiarity that it offers is that when the price touches the indicator, it jumps to the other side of the price (if the Parabolic SAR was below the price it jumps up and vice versa) to a distance predetermined by the indicator. At this time the indicator continues to follow the price, reducing the distance with each candle until it is finally touched again by the price and the process starts again. This procedure explains the name of the indicator: the Parabolic SAR follows the price generating a characteristic parabolic shape, when the price touches it, stops and turns ( SAR is the acronym for 'stop and reverse'), giving rise to a new cycle. When the points are below the price, the trend is up, while the points above the price indicate a downward trend.
5. RSI with Volume
This indicator was created by LazyBear from the popular RSI .
The RSI is an oscillator-type indicator used in technical analysis and also created by Welles Wilder that shows the strength of the price by comparing individual movements up or down in successive closing prices.
LazyBear added a volume parameter that makes it more accurate to the market movement.
A good way to use RSI is by considering the 50 'RSI CENTER LINE' centerline. When the oscillator is above, the trend is bullish and when it is below, the trend is bearish .
6. Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) and ( MAC-Z )
It was created by Gerald Appel. Subsequently, the histogram was added to anticipate the crossing of MA. Broadly speaking, we can say that the MACD is an oscillator consisting of two moving averages that rotate around the zero line. The MACD line is the difference between a short moving average 'MACD FAST MA LENGTH' and a long moving average 'MACD SLOW MA LENGTH'. It's an indicator that allows us to have a reference on the trend of the asset on which it is operating, thus generating market entry and exit signals.
We can talk about a bull market when the MACD histogram is above the zero line, along with the signal line, while we are talking about a bear market when the MACD histogram is below the zero line.
There is the option of using the MAC-Z indicator created by LazyBear, which according to its author is more effective, by using the parameter VWAP ( volume weighted average price ) 'Z-VWAP LENGTH' together with a standard deviation 'STDEV LENGTH' in its calculation.
7. Volume Condition
Volume indicates the number of participants in this war between bulls and bears, the more volume the more likely the price will move in favor of the trend. A low trading volume indicates a lower number of participants and interest in the instrument in question. Low volumes may reveal weakness behind a price movement.
With this condition, those signals whose volume is less than the volume SMA for a period 'SMA VOLUME LENGTH' multiplied by a factor 'VOLUME FACTOR' are filtered. In addition, it determines the leverage used, the more volume , the more participants, the more probability that the price will move in our favor, that is, we can use more leverage. The leverage in this script is determined by how many times the volume is above the SMA line.
The maximum leverage is 8.
8. Bollinger Bands
This indicator was created by John Bollinger and consists of three bands that are drawn superimposed on the price evolution graph.
The central band is a moving average, normally a simple moving average calculated with 20 periods is used. ('BB LENGTH' Number of periods of the moving average)
The upper band is calculated by adding the value of the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average. ('BB MULTIPLIER' Number of times the standard deviation of the moving average)
The lower band is calculated by subtracting the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average.
the band between the upper and lower bands contains, statistically, almost 90% of the possible price variations, which means that any movement of the price outside the bands has special relevance.
In practical terms, Bollinger bands behave as if they were an elastic band so that, if the price touches them, it has a high probability of bouncing.
Sometimes, after the entry order is filled, the price is returned to the opposite side. If price touch the Bollinger band in the same previous conditions, another order is filled in the same direction of the position to improve the average entry price, (% MINIMUM BETTER PRICE ': Minimum price for the re-entry to be executed and that is better than the price of the previous position in a given %) in this way we give the trade a chance that the Take Profit is executed before. The downside is that the position is doubled in size. 'ACTIVATE DIVIDE TP': Divide the size of the TP in half. More probability of the trade closing but less profit.
█ STOP LOSS and RISK MANAGEMENT.
A good risk management is what can make your equity go up or be liquidated.
The % risk is the percentage of our capital that we are willing to lose by operation. This is recommended to be between 1-5%.
% Risk: (% Stop Loss x % Equity per trade x Leverage) / 100
First the strategy is calculated with Stop Loss, then the risk per operation is determined and from there, the amount per operation is calculated and not vice versa.
In this script you can use a normal Stop Loss or one according to the ATR. Also activate the option to trigger it earlier if the risk percentage is reached. '% RISK ALLOWED'
'STOP LOSS CONFIRMED': The Stop Loss is only activated if the closing of the previous bar is in the loss limit condition. It's useful to prevent the SL from triggering when they do a ‘pump’ to sweep Stops and then return the price to the previous state.
█ BACKTEST
The objective of the Backtest is to evaluate the effectiveness of our strategy. A good Backtest is determined by some parameters such as:
- RECOVERY FACTOR: It consists of dividing the 'net profit' by the 'drawdown’. An excellent trading system has a recovery factor of 10 or more; that is, it generates 10 times more net profit than drawdown.
- PROFIT FACTOR: The ‘Profit Factor’ is another popular measure of system performance. It's as simple as dividing what win trades earn by what loser trades lose. If the strategy is profitable then by definition the 'Profit Factor' is going to be greater than 1. Strategies that are not profitable produce profit factors less than one. A good system has a profit factor of 2 or more. The good thing about the ‘Profit Factor’ is that it tells us what we are going to earn for each dollar we lose. A profit factor of 2.5 tells us that for every dollar we lose operating we will earn 2.5.
- SHARPE: (Return system - Return without risk) / Deviation of returns.
When the variations of gains and losses are very high, the deviation is very high and that leads to a very poor ‘Sharpe’ ratio. If the operations are very close to the average (little deviation) the result is a fairly high 'Sharpe' ratio. If a strategy has a 'Sharpe' ratio greater than 1 it is a good strategy. If it has a 'Sharpe' ratio greater than 2, it is excellent. If it has a ‘Sharpe’ ratio less than 1 then we don't know if it is good or bad, we have to look at other parameters.
- MATHEMATICAL EXPECTATION: (% winning trades X average profit) + (% losing trades X average loss).
To earn money with a Trading system, it is not necessary to win all the operations, what is really important is the final result of the operation. A Trading system has to have positive mathematical expectation as is the case with this script: ME = (0.87 x 30.74$) - (0.13 x 56.16$) = (26.74 - 7.30) = 19.44$ > 0
The game of roulette, for example, has negative mathematical expectation for the player, it can have positive winning streaks, but in the long term, if you continue playing you will end up losing, and casinos know this very well.
PARAMETERS
'BACKTEST DAYS': Number of days back of historical data for the calculation of the Backtest.
'ENTRY TYPE': For '% EQUITY' if you have $ 10,000 of capital and select 7.5%, for example, your entry would be $ 750 without leverage. If you select CONTRACTS for the 'BTCUSDT' pair, for example, it would be the amount in 'Bitcoins' and if you select 'CASH' it would be the amount in $ dollars.
'QUANTITY (LEVERAGE 1X)': The amount for an entry with X1 leverage according to the previous section.
'MAXIMUM LEVERAGE': It's the maximum allowed multiplier of the quantity entered in the previous section according to the volume condition.
The settings are for Bitcoin at Binance Futures (BTC: USDTPERP) in 15 minutes.
For other pairs and other timeframes, the settings have to be adjusted again. And within a month, the settings will be different because we all know the market and the trend are changing.
VWMA_withATRstops_strategyThis strategy follows the trend when price is above VWMA indicator. I have modified entry and exit rules to get most out of it.
Instead of entering LONG when price crosses above VWMA, I have used RSI(14) of VWMA . that way it skips the false signals. (some extent)
ENTRY
========
1. VWMA setting is 33
2. When RSIofVwma is above 30 enter Long ( and also checks if price already broke the ATR Stop above line )
Stop Loss and Exits
==================
1. Exit is when price breaks the ATR stop loss
2. ATR setting is set as same VWMA Length and multiplier is 3.5
3. STOP Loss that I mentioned in the settings is being used to calculate the how many units can be purchased based on risk of capital value.
Note: There is NO hard stop loss. having above ATR stop loss works as Trailing stop loss
Warning

MACD BF 🚀Customised MACD strategy with dynamic stop losses based on ATR.
Signals are generated when the delta value becomes positive or negative (when it crosses the zero line)
Stop losses are printed on the chart in yellow and orange. They are based on recent average True Range to allow for volatility.
INSTRUCTIONS
Green background = long
Red background = short
Yellow dotted line = stop loss placement for long
Orange dotted line = stop loss placement for short
White background = you have been stopped out, wait patiently for the next signal
Center of Gravity BF 🚀Thanks to HPotter for the code I based this strategy on.
Center of Gravity calculation is based here on a linear regression function using the least squares method.
We use this to calculate a channel consisting of 2 lines, green and red on the chart
This strategy employs a dynamic stop loss function that measures stop loss placement based on recent ATR.
How signals are generated:
Price closes above green line = Go Long
Price closes below red line = Go Short
Yellow dotted line = stop loss based on long entry
Orange dotted line = stop loss based on short entry
INSTRUCTIONS
Green background = Go Long, put your stop loss at the yellow dotted line
Red background = Go Short, put your stop loss at the orange dotted line
NB: The stop losses printed on the chart are calculated from the point of entry on a trade, if you make a different entry to what is indicated, the corresponding stop loss will be different to what the indicator displays.

Exit Signals trigger when opposing timeframe confluence reaches threshold (default: 3 timeframes)
Recommended Workflow
Select your asset and primary trading timeframe
Observe the dashboard - Look for rows showing mostly green (bullish) or red (bearish)
Wait for alignment - The indicator will show arrows when confluence requirements are met
Check the bottom rows - Review ORB levels and daily ranges for context
Set alerts - Enable TradingView alerts using the built-in alert conditions
Manage risk - Use appropriate position sizing and stop losses based on ORB range or daily ATR

Important Notes
This indicator works best on liquid instruments with clear price action
Highly volatile markets may require adjusted ATR and ORB distance settings
Session times are in EST timezone—adjust if trading non-US markets
The ORB calculation requires sufficient price history for the day
Signals are generated in real-time but should be confirmed at candle close
Limitations
Maximum of 6 timeframes can be analyzed due to TradingView's security call limits
ORB calculations may not work correctly on instruments with gaps or irregular sessions
The indicator is most effective during regular market hours when volume and volatility are adequate
Lower timeframes (1m, 5m) may produce more false signals in choppy conditions

Sani Momentum Target System [wjdtks255]Sani Momentum Target System Explanation & Trading Method
The Sani Momentum Target System is a momentum-based trading indicator that helps traders identify trend changes and determine precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and multiple profit targets.
Key Features:
Smoothed Price Calculation: Utilizes a glide-like smoothing function to reduce noise in price data.
Moving Averages: Calculates fast and slow EMAs on the smoothed price; the difference creates an oscillator.
Signal Line: A simple moving average smooths the oscillator to generate a signal line.
Trend Signals:
Buy signal when oscillator crosses above the signal line.
Sell signal when oscillator crosses below the signal line.
Entry, Stop Loss, Target Levels:
Entry price is set at current close on signal.
Stop loss is set by multiplying ATR by 2 against trend direction.
Three take profit targets (T1, T2, T3) are set by user-defined multiples of ATR.
Visual Display: Includes colored horizontal lines and labels for entry, stop loss, and targets.
Bars are colored by trend direction, and triangular markers show buy/sell signals.
How To Use This Indicator:
Entry: Place trades in the direction of the signal (long on buy, short on sell).
Stop Loss: Use the ATR-based stop loss line to minimize downside risk.
Profit Taking: Scale out profits or exit trades at target levels T1, T2, and T3.
Trend Confirmation: Confirm with oscillator trend direction before entry to avoid false signals.
Parameter Adjustment: Modify smoothing lengths, ATR period, and target multipliers to fit your trading style and timeframe.
Final Notes:
This indicator streamlines momentum trading by providing clear price targets and risk levels visually.
Always backtest strategies and apply proper risk management.
Suitable across asset classes: stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies.

Braid Filter StrategyThis strategy is like a sophisticated set of traffic lights and speed limit signs for trading. It only allows a trade when multiple indicators line up to confirm a strong move, giving it its "Braid Filter" name—it weaves together several conditions.
The strategy is set up to use 100% of your account equity (your trading funds) on a trade and does not "pyramid" (it won't add to an existing trade).
1. The Main Trend Check (The Traffic Lights)
The strategy uses three main filters that must agree before it considers a trade.
A. The "Chad Filter" (Direction & Strength)
This is the heart of the strategy, a custom combination of three different Moving AveragesThese averages have fast, medium, and slow settings (3, 7, and 14 periods).
Go Green (Buy Signal): The fastest average is higher than the medium average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated (not tangled up, which indicates a strong move).
Go Red (Sell Signal): The medium average is higher than the fastest average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated.
Neutral (Wait): If the averages are tangled or the separation isn't strong enough.
Key Trigger: A primary condition for a signal is when the Chad Filter changes color (e.g., from Red/Grey to Green).
B. The EMA Trend Bars (Secondary Confirmation)
This is a simpler, longer-term filter using a 34-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It checks if the current candle's average price is above or below this EMA.
Green Bars: The price is above the 34 EMA (Bullish Trend).
Red Bars: The price is below the 34 EMA (Bearish Trend).
Trades only happen if the signal direction matches the bar color. For a Buy, the bar must be Green. For a Sell, the bar must be Red.
C. ADX/DI Filter (The Speed Limit Sign)
This uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Movement Indicators (DI) to check if a trend is actually in motion and getting stronger.
Must-Have Conditions:
The ADX value must be above 20 (meaning there is a trend, not just random movement).
The ADX line must be rising (meaning the trend is accelerating/getting stronger).
The strategy will only trade when the trend is strong and building momentum.
2. The Trading Action (Entry and Exit)
When all three filters (Chad Filter color change, EMA Trend Bar color, and ADX strength/slope) align, the strategy issues a signal, but it doesn't enter immediately.
Entry Strategy (The "Wait-for-Confirmation" Approach):
When a Buy Signal appears, the strategy sets a "Buy Stop" order at the signal candle's closing price.
It then waits for up to 3 candles (Candles Valid for Entry). The price must move up and hit that Buy Stop price within those 3 candles to confirm the move and enter the trade.
A Sell Signal works the same way but uses a "Sell Stop" at the closing price, waiting for the price to drop and hit it.
Risk Management (Stop Loss and Take Profit):
Stop Loss: To manage risk, the strategy finds a recent significant low (for a Buy) or high (for a Sell) over the last 20 candles and places the Stop Loss there. This is a logical place where the current move would be considered "broken" if the price reaches it.
Take Profit: It uses a fixed Risk:Reward Ratio (set to 1.5 by default). This means the potential profit (Take Profit distance) is $1.50 for every $1.00 of risk (Stop Loss distance).
3. Additional Controls
Time Filter: You can choose to only allow trades during specific hours of the day.
Visuals: It shows a small triangle on the chart where the signal happens and colors the background to reflect the Chad Filter's trend (Green/Red/Grey) and the candle bars to show the EMA trend (Lime/Red).
🎯 Summary of the Strategy's Goal
This strategy is designed to capture strong, confirmed momentum moves. It uses a fast, custom indicator ("Chad Filter") to detect the start of a new move, confirms that move with a slower trend filter (34 EMA), and then validates the move's strength with the ADX. By waiting a few candles for the price to hit the entry level, it aims to avoid false signals.

v2.0—Tristan's Multi-Indicator Reversal Strategy🎯 Multi-Indicator Reversal Strategy - Optimized for High Win Rates
A powerful confluence-based strategy that combines RSI, MACD, Williams %R, Bollinger Bands, and Volume analysis to identify high-probability reversal points . Designed to let winners run with no stop loss or take profit - positions close only when opposite signals occur.
Also, the 3 hour timeframe works VERY well—just a lot less trades.
📈 Proven Performance
This strategy has been backtested and optimized on multiple blue-chip stocks with 80-90%+ win rates on 1-hour timeframes from Aug 2025 through Oct 2025:
✅ V (Visa) - Payment processor
✅ MSFT (Microsoft) - Large-cap tech
✅ WMT (Walmart) - Retail leader
✅ IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) - Small-cap index
✅ NOW (ServiceNow) - Enterprise software
✅ WM (Waste Management) - Industrial services
These stocks tend to mean-revert at extremes, making them ideal candidates for this reversal-based approach. I only list these as a way to show you the performance of the script. These values and stock choices may change over time as the market shifts. Keep testing!
🔑 How to Use This Strategy Successfully
Step 1: Apply to Chart
Open your desired stock (V, MSFT, WMT, IWM, NOW, WM recommended)
Set timeframe to 1 Hour
Apply this strategy
Check that the Williams %R is set to -20 and -80, and "Flip All Signals" is OFF (can flip this for some stocks to perform better.)
Step 2: Understand the Signals
🟢 Green Triangle (BUY) Below Candle:
Multiple indicators (RSI, Williams %R, MACD, Bollinger Bands) show oversold conditions
Enter LONG position
Strategy will pyramid up to 10 entries if more buy signals occur
Hold until red triangle appears
🔴 Red Triangle (SELL) Above Candle:
Multiple indicators show overbought conditions
Enter SHORT position (or close existing long)
Strategy will pyramid up to 10 entries if more sell signals occur
Hold until green triangle appears
🟣 Purple Labels (EXIT):
Shows when positions close
Displays count if multiple entries were pyramided (e.g., "Exit Long x5")
Step 3: Let the Strategy Work
Key Success Principles:
✅ Be Patient - Signals don't occur every day, wait for quality setups
✅ Trust the Process - Don't manually close positions, let opposite signals exit
✅ Watch Pyramiding - The strategy can add up to 10 positions in the same direction
✅ No Stop Loss - Positions ride through drawdowns until reversal confirmed
✅ Session Filter - Only trades during NY session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)

**⭐ = Critical settings for success**
## 🎓 Strategy Logic Explained
### **How It Works:**
1. **Multi-Indicator Confluence**: Waits for at least 2 out of 4 technical indicators to align before generating signals
2. **Oversold = Buy**: When RSI < 30, Williams %R < -80, price below lower Bollinger Band, and/or MACD turning bullish → BUY signal
3. **Overbought = Sell**: When RSI > 70, Williams %R > -20, price above upper Bollinger Band, and/or MACD turning bearish → SELL signal
4. **Pyramiding Power**: As trend continues and more signals fire in the same direction, adds up to 10 positions to maximize gains
5. **Exit Only on Reversal**: No arbitrary stops or targets - only exits when opposite signal confirms trend change
6. **Session Filter**: Only trades during liquid NY session hours to avoid overnight gaps and low-volume periods
### **Why No Stop Loss Works:**
Traditional reversal strategies fail because they:
- Get stopped out too early during normal volatility
- Miss the actual reversal that happens later
- Cut winners short with tight take profits
This strategy succeeds because it:
- ✅ Rides through temporary noise
- ✅ Captures full reversal moves
- ✅ Uses multiple indicators for confirmation
- ✅ Pyramids into winning positions
- ✅ Only exits when technical picture completely reverses

⚡ Advanced Tips
Optimizing for Different Stocks:
If Win Rate is Low (<50%):
Try toggling "Flip All Signals" to ON (switches to momentum mode)
Increase "Min Indicators Aligned" to 3 or 4
Turn ON "Require Divergence"
Test on different timeframe (4-hour or daily)
If Too Few Signals:
Decrease "Min Indicators Aligned" to 2
Turn OFF all requirement filters
Widen Williams %R bands to -15 and -85
If Too Many False Signals:
Increase "Min Indicators Aligned" to 3 or 4
Turn ON "Require Divergence"
Turn ON "Require Volume Spike"
Reduce Max Pyramid Entries to 5
Stock Selection Guidelines:
Best Suited For:
Large-cap stable stocks (V, MSFT, WMT)
ETFs (IWM, SPY, QQQ)
Stocks with clear support/resistance
Mean-reverting instruments
Avoid:
Ultra low-volume penny stocks
Extremely volatile crypto (try traditional settings first)
Stocks in strong one-directional trends lasting months
🔄 The "Flip All Signals" Feature
If backtesting shows poor results on a particular stock, try toggling "Flip All Signals" to ON:
STANDARD Mode (OFF):
Buy when oversold (reversal strategy)
Sell when overbought
May work best for: V, MSFT, WMT, IWM, NOW, WM
FLIPPED Mode (ON):
Buy when overbought (momentum strategy)
Sell when oversold
May work best for: Strong trending stocks, momentum plays, crypto
Test both modes on your stock to see which performs better!

USDJPY Fair Value Gap + Session Strategy🎯 Overview
This strategy combines Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with session-based order flow analysis, specifically optimized for USDJPY. It identifies price inefficiencies left behind by institutional order flow during high-volatility trading sessions, offering a modern alternative to traditional lagging indicators.
🔬 What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps represent areas where aggressive institutional buying or selling created "gaps" in the market structure:
Bullish FVG: Price moves up so aggressively that it leaves unfilled buy orders behind
Bearish FVG: Price moves down so quickly that it leaves unfilled sell orders behind
Research shows approximately 80% of FVGs get "filled" (price returns to the gap) within 20-60 bars, making them highly predictable trading zones.

Camarilla Pivots + 20 EMA StrategyThis is an intraday volatility and trend-following system for commodities like Natural Gas, combining dynamic pivot levels (Camarilla) with a trend filter (20-period EMA) to improve risk-reward and reduce false breakouts.
Core Components
1. Camarilla Pivots:
These are special support and resistance levels (H3, H4, L3, L4) calculated each day based on the previous day's high, low, and close.
The pivots adapt to daily volatility, giving more relevant breakout and bounce zones than static lines.
H4: Aggressive resistance (used for breakout LONG entry)
H3: Moderate resistance/support (used for bounce or stoploss)
L4: Aggressive support (used for breakout SHORT entry)
L3: Moderate support/resistance (used for bounce or stoploss)
2. 20 EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Plotted on the 30-minute chart, this acts as a trend filter.
If the price is above 20 EMA: Only look for long trades (bullish bias).
If below 20 EMA: Only look for short trades (bearish bias).
How the Strategy Works
Setup (30-Min Chart):
Camarilla pivots for the day are drawn on the chart.
20 EMA is also plotted.
Trade Filter:
Bullish: Trade ONLY if price is above 20 EMA.
Bearish: Trade ONLY if price is below 20 EMA.
Entry:
LONG: Enter when price breaks and closes above the H4 pivot AND is above 20 EMA.
SHORT: Enter when price breaks and closes below the L4 pivot AND is below 20 EMA.
Stop Loss:
LONG: Place stoploss at H3 (the next lower Camarilla resistance).
SHORT: Place stoploss at L3 (the next higher Camarilla support).
Target:
Always set a profit target at 2x the distance (risk) between entry and stoploss (strict R:R 2).
For example, if your entry is at H4 and stoploss at H3, your target is entry + 2*(entry - stoploss).
Alerts & Visuals:
The strategy plots entry arrows, stoploss and target lines for immediate visual reference.
Alerts trigger on breakout signals so you never miss a trade.
Why This Works Well for Natural Gas
Adapts to volatility: The pivots change daily, handling wide-ranging and choppy price moves better than fixed breakouts.
Trend filter: EMA prevents counter-trend whipsaws, only trades with market momentum.
Risk control: Every trade must meet strict risk-reward criteria, so losses are contained and winners can outweigh losers.
ICT Venom Trading Model [TradingFinder] SMC NY Session 2025SetupIntroduction
The ICT Venom Model is one of the most advanced strategies in the ICT framework, designed for intraday trading on major US indices such as US100, US30, and US500. This model is rooted in liquidity theory, time and price dynamics, and institutional order flow.
The Venom Model focuses on detecting Liquidity Sweeps, identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and analyzing Market Structure Shifts (MSS). By combining these ICT core concepts, traders can filter false breakouts, capture sharp reversals, and align their entries with the real institutional liquidity flow during the New York Session.
Key Highlights of ICT Venom Model :
Intraday focus : Optimized for US indices (US100, US30, US500).
Time element : Critical window is 08:00–09:30 AM (Venom Box).
Liquidity sweep logic : Price grabs liquidity at 09:30 AM open.
Confirmation tools : MSS, CISD, FVG, and Order Blocks.
Dual setups : Works in both Bullish Venom and Bearish Venom conditions.
At its core, the ICT Venom Strategy is a framework that explains how institutional players manipulate liquidity pools by engineering false breakouts around the initial range of the market. Between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time, a range called the “Venom Box” is formed.
This range acts as a trap for retail traders, and once the 09:30 AM market open occurs, price usually sweeps either the high or the low of this box to collect stop-loss liquidity. After this liquidity grab, the market often reverses sharply, giving birth to a classic Bullish Venom Setup or Bearish Venom Setup
The Venom Model (ICT Venom Trading Strategy) is not just a pattern recognition tool but a precise institutional trading model based on time, liquidity, and market structure. By understanding the Initial Balance Range, watching for Liquidity Sweeps, and entering trades from FVG zones or Order Blocks, traders can anticipate market reversals with high accuracy. This strategy is widely respected among ICT followers because it offers both risk management discipline and clear entry/exit conditions. In short, the Venom Model transforms liquidity manipulation into actionable trading opportunities.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Venom Model is applied by observing price behavior during the early hours of the New York session. The first step is to define the Initial Range, also called the Venom Box, which is formed between 08:00 and 09:30 AM EST. This range marks the high and low points where institutional traders often create traps for retail participants. Once the official market opens at 09:30 AM, price usually sweeps either the top or bottom of this box to collect liquidity.
After this liquidity grab, the market tends to reverse in alignment with the true directional bias. To confirm the setup, traders look for signals such as a Market Structure Shift (MSS), Change in State of Delivery (CISD), or the appearance of a Fair Value Gap (FVG). These elements validate the reversal and provide precise levels for trade execution.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a Bullish Venom Setup, the market first sweeps the low of the Venom Box after 09:30 AM, triggering sell-side liquidity collection. This downward move is often sharp and deceptive, designed to stop out retail long positions and attract new sellers. Once liquidity is taken, the market typically shifts direction, forming an MSS or CISD that signals a reversal to the upside.
Traders then wait for price to retrace into a Fair Value Gap or a demand-side Order Block created during the reversal leg. This retracement offers the ideal entry point for long positions. Stop-loss placement should be just below the liquidity sweep low, while profit targets are set at the Venom Box high and, if momentum continues, at higher session or daily highs.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a Bearish Venom Setup, the process is similar but reversed. After the Initial Range is defined, if price breaks above the Venom Box high following the 09:30 AM open, it signals a false breakout designed to collect buy-side liquidity. This move usually traps eager buyers and clears out stop-losses above the high.
After the liquidity sweep, confirmation comes through an MSS or CISD pointing to a reversal downward. At this stage, traders anticipate a retracement into a Fair Value Gap or a supply-side Order Block formed during the reversal. Short entries are taken within this zone, with stop-loss positioned just above the liquidity sweep high. The logical profit targets include the Venom Box low and, in stronger bearish momentum, deeper session or daily lows.
🔵 Settings
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Venom Model is more than just a reversal setup; it is a complete intraday trading framework that blends liquidity theory, time precision, and market structure analysis. By focusing on the Initial Range between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time and observing how price reacts at the 09:30 AM open, traders can identify liquidity sweeps that reveal institutional intentions.
Whether in a Bullish Venom Setup or a Bearish Venom Setup, the model allows for precise entries through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks, while maintaining clear risk management with well-defined stop-loss and target levels.
Ultimately, the ICT Venom Model provides traders with a structured way to filter false moves and align their trades with institutional order flow. Its strength lies in transforming liquidity manipulation into actionable opportunities, giving intraday traders an edge in timing, accuracy, and consistency. For those who master its logic, the Venom Model becomes not only a strategy for entry and exit, but also a deeper framework for understanding how liquidity truly drives price in the New York session.

Hazel nut BB Strategy, volume base- lite versionHazel nut BB Strategy, volume base — lite version
Having knowledge and information in financial markets is only useful when a trader operates with a well-defined trading strategy. Trading strategies assist in capital management, profit-taking, and reducing potential losses.
This strategy is built upon the core principle of supply and demand dynamics. Alongside this foundation, one of the widely used technical tools — the Bollinger Bands — is employed to structure a framework for profit management and risk control.
In this strategy, the interaction of these tools is explained in detail. A key point to note is that for calculating buy and sell volumes, a lower timeframe function is used. When applied with a tick-level resolution, this provides the most precise measurement of buyer/seller flows. However, this comes with a limitation of reduced historical depth. Users should be aware of this trade-off: if precise tick-level data is required, shorter timeframes should be considered to extend historical coverage .
The strategy offers multiple configuration options. Nevertheless, it should be treated strictly as a supportive tool rather than a standalone trading system. Decisions must integrate personal analysis and other instruments. For example, in highly volatile assets with narrow ranges, it is recommended to adjust profit-taking and stop-loss percentages to smaller values.
◉ Volume Settings
• Buyer and seller volume (up/down volume) are requested from a lower timeframe, with an option to override the automatic resolution.
• A global lookback period is applied to calculate moving averages and cumulative sums of buy/sell/delta volumes.
• Ratios of buyers/sellers to total volume are derived both on the current bar and across the lookback window.
◉ Bollinger Band
• Bands are computed using configurable moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA).
• Inputs allow control of length, standard deviation multiplier, and offset.
• The basis, upper, and lower bands are plotted, with a shaded background between them.
◉ Progress & Proximity
• Relative position of the price to the Bollinger basis is expressed as percentages (qPlus/qMinus).
• “Near band” conditions are triggered when price progress toward the upper or lower band exceeds a user-defined threshold (%).
• A signed score (sScore) represents how far the close has moved above or below the basis relative to band width.
◉ Info Table
• Optional compact table summarizing:
• - Upper/lower band margins
• - Buyer/seller volumes with moving averages
• - Delta and cumulative delta
• - Buyer/seller ratios per bar and across the window
• - Money flow values (buy/sell/delta × price) for bar-level and summed periods
• The table is neutral-colored and resizable for different chart layouts.
◉ Zone Event Gate
• Tracks entry into and exit from “near band” zones.
• Arming logic: a side is armed when price enters a band proximity zone.
• Trigger logic: on exit, a trade event is generated if cumulative buyer or seller volume dominates over a configurable window.
◉ Trading Logic
• Orders are placed only on zone-exit events, conditional on volume dominance.
• Position sizing is defined as a fixed percentage of strategy equity.
• Long entries occur when leaving the lower zone with buyer dominance; short entries occur when leaving the upper zone with seller dominance.
◉ Exit Rules
• Open positions are managed by a strict priority sequence:
• 1. Stop-loss (% of entry price)
• 2. Take-profit (% of entry price)
• 3. Opposite-side event (zone exit with dominance in the other direction)
• Stop-loss and take-profit levels are configurable
◉ Notes
• This lite version is intended to demonstrate the interaction of Bollinger Bands and volume-based dominance logic.
• It provides a framework to observe how price reacts at band boundaries under varying buy/sell pressure, and how zone exits can be systematically converted into entry/exit signals.
When configuring this strategy, it is essential to carefully review the settings within the Strategy Tester. Ensure that the chosen parameters and historical data options are correctly aligned with the intended use. Accurate back testing depends on applying proper configurations for historical reference. The figure below illustrates sample result and configuration type.
EMA inFusion Pro - Multiple SourcesEMA Fusion Pro: Dynamic Trend & Momentum Strategy with Three Exit Modes
EMA Fusion Pro is a highly customizable, multi-exit trend-following strategy designed for traders who value both precision and flexibility. By leveraging exponential moving averages (EMA), average directional index (ADX), and volume analysis, this strategy aims to capture trending market moves while offering three distinct exit modes for optimal risk management across varying market conditions.
Strategy Overview
This strategy systematically identifies potential entry points using a moving average crossover with highly configurable data sources (including price, volume, rate of change, or their Heikin Ashi versions) and filters signal quality with ADX trend strength and volume spikes. Each trade is managed with one of three advanced exit methodologies—reverse signal, ATR-based stop/take profit, or fixed percentage—giving you the control to adapt your risk profile to different market regimes.
Key Features
Customizable EMA Source: Calculate the core trend-filtering EMA from price (default), volume, rate of change, or their Heikin Ashi counterparts for unique market perspectives.
Trend Filter with ADX: Confirm entries only when the trend is strong, as measured by the user-adjustable ADX threshold.
Volume Spike Confirmation: Optional filter to only take trades with above-average volume activity, reducing false signals.
Three Exit Modes:
Reverse Signal: Exit trades when a new, opposite entry signal occurs.
ATR-Based Stop/Take Profit: Dynamic risk management using multiples of the average true range (ATR) for both take profit and stop loss.
Percent-Based Stop/Take Profit: Fixed-percentage risk management with user-defined thresholds.
Visual Annotations: Signal markers, EMA line color-coded by source, trend background coloring, and optional ATR/percent-based TP/SL levels.
Info Panel: Real-time display of all core indicators, current trading mode, exit parameters, and position status for quick oversight.
How It Works
Entry Logic: A crossover signal (above/below the EMA) triggers a new entry, but only if both ADX trend strength and (optionally) volume spike conditions are met.
Exit Logic: Three selectable modes allow you to exit trades on reverse signals, at a dynamic ATR-based profit or loss, or at a fixed percentage gain/loss.
Flexible Data Analysis: The EMA source can be chosen from six options—standard price, volume, rate of change, or their Heikin Ashi variants—allowing experimentation with different market dimensions.
Risk Management: All exits are precisely controlled, either by the next opposing signal, by volatility-adjusted levels, or by fixed risk/reward ratios.
Backtest & Optimization: The strategy is fully backtestable within TradingView’s Strategy Tester, with adjustable parameters for optimization.
Customization & Usage
Indicator Source: Select your preferred data type for EMA calculation, opening the door to creative strategy variations (e.g., volume momentum, pure price trend, rate of change divergence).
Filter Toggles: Enable/disable ADX and volume filters as desired—useful for different market environments.
Exit Mode Selection: Switch between reverse, ATR, or percent-based exits with a single parameter—ideal for adapting to ranging vs. trending markets.
Visual Clarity: The EMA line color reflects its underlying source, and the info panel summarizes all critical values for easy monitoring.
Who Should Use This Strategy?
Trend Followers seeking to ride strong moves with multiple exit options.
Experienced Traders who want to experiment with different data types (volume, momentum, Heikin Ashi) for trend analysis.
Algorithmic Traders looking for a robust, flexible base to build upon with their own ideas.

MACD StrategyOverview
The "MACD Strategy" is a straightforward trading strategy tested for BTCUSDT Futures on the 1-minute timeframe, leveraging the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator to identify momentum-based buy and sell opportunities. Developed with input from expert trading analyst insights, this strategy combines technical precision with risk management, making it suitable for traders of all levels on platforms like TradingView. It focuses on capturing trend reversals and momentum shifts, with clear visual cues and automated alerts for seamless integration with trading bots (e.g., Bitget webhooks).
#### How It Works
This strategy uses the MACD indicator to generate trading signals based on momentum and trend direction:
- **Buy Signal**: Triggered when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, and the MACD histogram turns positive (above zero). This suggests increasing bullish momentum.
- **Sell Signal**: Triggered when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, and the MACD histogram turns negative (below zero), indicating growing bearish momentum.
Once a signal is detected, the strategy opens a position (long for buy, short for sell) with a position size calculated based on your risk tolerance. It includes a stop-loss to limit losses and a take-profit to lock in gains, both dynamically adjusted using the Average True Range (ATR) for adaptability to market volatility.
#### Key Features
- **MACD-Based Signals**: Relies solely on MACD for entry points, plotted in a separate pane for clear momentum analysis.
- **Risk Management**: Automatically calculates position size based on a percentage of your account balance and sets stop-loss and take-profit levels using ATR multipliers and a risk:reward ratio.
- **Visual Feedback**: Plots entry, stop-loss, and take-profit lines on the chart with labeled markers for easy tracking.
- **Alerts**: Includes Bitget webhook-compatible alerts for automated trading, notifying you of buy and sell signals in real-time.
#### Input Parameters
- **Account Balance**: Default 10000 – Set your initial trading capital to determine position sizing.
- **MACD Fast Length**: Default 12 – The short-term EMA period for MACD sensitivity.
- **MACD Slow Length**: Default 26 – The long-term EMA period for MACD calculation.
- **MACD Signal Length**: Default 9 – The smoothing period for the signal line.
- **Risk Per Trade (%)**: Default 3.0 – The percentage of your account balance risked per trade (e.g., 3% of 10000 = 300).
- **Risk:Reward Ratio**: Default 3.0 – The ratio of potential profit to risk (e.g., 3:1 means risking 1 to gain 3).
- **SL Multiplier**: Default 1.0 – Multiplies ATR to set the stop-loss distance (e.g., 1.0 x ATR).
- **TP Multiplier**: Default 3.0 – Multiplies ATR to set the take-profit distance, adjusted by the risk:reward ratio.
- **Line Length (bars)**: Default 25 – Duration in bars for displaying trade lines on the chart.
- **Label Position**: Default 'left' – Position of text labels (left or right) relative to trade lines.
- **ATR Period**: Default 14 – The number of periods for calculating ATR to measure volatility.
#### How to Use
1. **Add to Chart**: Load the "MACD Strategy" as a strategy and the "MACD Indicator" as a separate indicator on your TradingView chart (recommended for BTCUSDT Futures on the 1-minute timeframe).
2. **Customize Settings**: Adjust the input parameters based on your risk tolerance and market conditions. For BTCUSDT Futures, consider reducing `Risk Per Trade (%)` during high volatility (e.g., 1%) or increasing `SL Multiplier` for wider stops.
3. **Visual Analysis**: Watch the main chart for trade entry lines (green for buy, red for sell), stop-loss (red), and take-profit (green) lines with labels. Use the MACD pane below to confirm momentum shifts.
4. **Set Alerts**: Create alerts in TradingView for "Buy Signal" and "Sell Signal" to automate trades via Bitget webhooks.
5. **Backtest and Optimize**: Test the strategy on historical BTCUSDT Futures 1-minute data to fine-tune parameters. The short timeframe requires quick execution, so monitor closely for slippage or latency.
#### Tips for Success
- **Market Conditions**: This strategy performs best in trending markets on the 1-minute timeframe. Avoid choppy conditions where MACD crossovers may produce false signals.
- **Risk Management**: Start with the default 3% risk per trade and adjust downward (e.g., 1%) during volatile periods like BTCUSDT news events. The 3:1 risk:reward ratio targets consistent profitability.
- **Timeframe**: Optimized for 1-minute charts; switch to 5-minute or 15-minute for less noise if needed.
- **Confirmation**: Cross-check MACD signals with price action or support/resistance levels for higher accuracy on BTCUSDT Futures.
#### Limitations
- This strategy relies solely on MACD, so it may lag in fast-moving or sideways markets. Consider adding a secondary filter (e.g., RSI) if needed.
- Stop-loss and take-profit are ATR-based and may need adjustment for BTCUSDT Futures’ high volatility, especially during leverage trading.
#### Conclusion
The "MACD Strategy" offers a simple yet effective way to trade momentum shifts using the MACD indicator, tested for BTCUSDT Futures on the 1-minute timeframe, with robust risk management and visual tools. Whether you’re scalping crypto futures or exploring short-term trends, this strategy provides a solid foundation for automated or manual trading.
