Follow the Trend - Trade PullbacksKindly follow the rules stated below for entry, exit and stop loss. Not every Buy / Sell signal will be profitable.
Timeframe of the chart acts as current timeframe. You need to choose 2 more as middle and higher timeframes.
This indicator is based on candlesticks, ATR and CCI indicators and the logic provides buy / sell signals at the pullbacks of the trend depicted by higher timeframe, that must be respected throughout.
Enter the long / short trade respectively when the indicator gives buy / sell signal after price has gone below the green / above the red line for higher timeframe.
Stop loss shall be low / high of recent swing. Exit when the price closes below / above the middle timeframe, to be used as trailing target.
Use it for any instrument for any timeframe of your choice.
For example, check the shared chart. It is a 1 min intraday, but the indicator can be used for short or long term positional trades as well.
Enter long at 14102, with stop loss 14077. Trailing target is achieved at 14156 giving a Risk:Reward ratio of 1:2.
Another Buy signal is observed around same level and uptrend continues till day end, again for a Risk:Reward ratio of approx. 1:2.
Rules to follow for Long trades -
Enter long position at Buy signal given after price has moved below green line of higher timeframe.
Exit the position when price closes below orange / blue line of middle timeframe.
Stop loss must be at low of recent swing, appearing just before the Buy signal.
Rules to follow for Short trades -
Enter short position at Sell signal given after price has moved above red line of higher timeframe.
Exit the position when price closes above orange / blue line of middle timeframe.
Stop loss must be at high of recent swing, appearing just before the Sell signal.

Customizable MACD (how to detect a strong convergence)Helloooo traders
I wondered once if a MACD was based on an EMA/EMA/SMA or SMA/SMA/EMA (or WHATEVA/WHATEVA/WHATEVA).
Seems they're so many alternatives out there.
I decided to empower my audience more by choosing the type of moving averages you want for your MACD.
More options doesn't always mean better performance - but who knows - some might find a config that they like with it for their favorite asset/timeframe.
I added also a multi-timeframe component because I'm a nice guy ^^
Convergence is my BEST friend
An oscillator (like MACD) is to measure how strong a momentum is - generally, traders use those indicators to confirm a trend.
So understand that a MACD (or any other indicator not based on convergence ) won't likely be sufficient for doing great on the market.
Combined with your favorite indicator, however, you may get great results.
My indicators fav cocktail is mixing :
1) an oscillator (momentum confirmation)
2) a trendline/key level break (momentum confirmation)
3) adding-up on a different trading method but still converging with the first entry.
The reason I'm deep with convergence detection is because I'm obsessed with removing those fakeout signals. You know which ones I'm talking about :)
Those trades when the market goes sideways but our capital goes South (pun 100% intended) - 2 days later, the price hasn't changed much but some lost some capital due to fees, being overexposed, buying the top/selling the bottom of a range they didn't identify.
It's publicly known that ranges are the worst traders' enemy. It's boring, not fun, and .... end up moving in the direction we expected when we go to sleep or outside.
NO ONE/BROKER/EX-GF is tracking your computer - I checked also for mine as it happened for me way too often in the past.
I surely preferred blaming a few external unknown conditions than improving my TA back in the days #bad #dave
But my backtest sir...
Our backtests show what they're being told to show . A backtest without a stop-loss/hard exit logic will show incredible results.
Then trying that backtest with live trading is like in the Matrix movie - discovering the real world is tough and we must choose between the blue pill (learning how to evaluate properly risk/opportunity caught) and the red pill (increasing the position sizing, not setting a stop loss, holding the positions hoping for the best)
Last few words
Convergences aren't invented because it's cool to mix indicators with others. (it is actually and even fun)
They're created to remove most of the fakeouts . For those that can't be removed - a strong risk management would cut most of the remaining potential big losses.
No system works 100% of the time - so a convergence system needs a back-up plan in case the converged signal is wrong (could be stop-loss, hard exit, reducing position sizing, ...)
Wishing you the BEST and happy beginning of your week

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.
ATR based Pivots mcbwHey everyone this is an exciting new script I have prepared for you.
I was reading an old forex bulletin article some time ago when I came across this: solar.murty.net (or you can download the full bulletin with lots of other good articles here: www.forexfactory.com).
You can already buy this for metatrader (www.mql5.com) so I figured to make it for free for tradingview.
This bulletin suggested that you can reasonably predict daily volatility by adding or subtracting multiples of the daily ATR to the daily opening. Using this you can choose multiples to use as price targets and alternatively as stop losses. For example, if you already have a sense of market direction you can buy at market open place a stop loss at - 1 daily ATR and a profit target at + 3 ATRs for a risk to reward ratio of 3. If you are looking for smaller/quicker moves with a ratio of 3 you can have a stop loss at -0.25 ATR and a take profit at +0.75 ATR.
Alternatively this article also suggests to use this method to catch volatility breakouts. If price is higher than the + 1 ATR area then you can safely assume it will be going to the +2 ATR area so you can put a buy stop at + 1 ATR with a profit target at + 2 ATR with a stop loss at +0.5 ATR to catch a volatility breakout with a risk to reward ratio of 2!
Even further there are methods that you can use with ATRs of multiple window sizes, for example by opening two copies of this indicator and measuring recent volatility with a 1 week window and long term volatility within a 1 month window. If the short term volatility is crossing the long term volatility then there is a high probability chance that even more price movement will occur.
However I have found that this method is good for more than daily volatility , it can also be used to measure weekly volatility , and monthly volatility and use these multiples as good long term price targets.
To select if you want daily, weekly, or monthly values of the ATR of volatility you're using go to the settings and click on the options in the "Opening period". The default window of the ATR here is 14 periods, but you can change this if you want to in "ATR period". Most importantly you are able to select which multiples of the ATR you would like to use in the settings in "ATR multiple 1" which is the green line, "ATR multiple 2" which is the blue line, and "ATR multiple 3" which is the purple line. You can select any values you want to put in these, the choice of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 is not special, some people use fibonacci numbers here or simply 0.33, 0.66, and 0.99.
Repainting issue: This script uses the daily value of the Average True Range (ATR), which measures the volatility that is happening today. If price becomes more volatile then the value of the ATR can increase throughout the day, but it can never decrease. What this means is that the ATR based pivots are able to expand away from the opening price, which should not affect the trades that you take based on these areas. If you base your take profit on one of these ATR multiples and the daily volatility increase this means that your take profit area will be closer to your entry than the ATR multiple. Meaning that your trades will be more conservative.
While this all may sound very technical it is super intuitive, throw this on your chart and play around with it :)
Happy trading!
Trend is your friendThis indicator evaluates the trend based on crosses of two McGinley moving averages. It paints candles accordingly (it does not repaint), so you can see what the indicator is saying more clearly and stay in your trade until you see a period of consolidation or a reversal. You can control how far away those moving averages need to be for you to consider it a trend. If this distance is not met candles color is not changed and it shows you that the market is in a period of consolidation. I also added visualization of RSI, so you can have an easier time finding appropriate profit targets. For stop loss I would recommend placing it a couple points above or below the previous high / low that is located above / below you final target for entry. You can also use a certain percentage that works for you. I tried adding a stop loss based on ATR, but I did not like the results. Using market structure is a better choice in my opinion.
Here is a basic trading strategy for the default settings:
Wait for the indicator to start printing a series of green or red candles. After that you can enter a long or a short around moving averages. Another valid place to entry is the specific RSI zone. If we are in an uptrend buying when RSI is oversold can be beneficial as you expect market to recover. I do not recommend changing RSI from 14. Vice versa for the downtrend. It gives you an edge as you know at what price RSI will be oversold and allows you to place trades in advance. Pretty neat! You need to realize that no indicator or strategy can give you an exact entry. There will always be some margin of error. What I wanted to say is that if there is a strong trend up and you buy around your key moving averages and when RSI is oversold you entered in good places and there is a pretty good chance you will make money.
Time frame settings:
If you want to use tighter stop losses I would recommend sticking to 15m. Do not go lower. It is not worth the stress. 1h and 4h seems to be very good as well, but expect your stop losses to be wider. What I personally tend to do is display 15m, 30m and 1h and compare it. Think of it as a short, mid and long term. That way you can see things little bit better.
Examples:
1H chart BTC
4h chart EUR / USD
1D chart NASDAQ
15m chart BTC (Daytrading)
That last chart shows that even if you were longing while the trend was about to change you still had a good chance to close it with a little profit and switch to short easily. The default settings is what has worked the best for me. Feel free to change them as you see fit and do not forget to let me know if you find something that works better :)
Notes:
Either disable wick display or change it to a neutral color like gray for both green and red candles. Unfortunately pine script does not allow wick painting, so if you have red / green wicks it will look terrible. If RSI visualization makes your candles look too small you can go to settings and disable the display of individual RSI levels. You will still be able to see the zones, but the scale won't be affected.
Piv X# Piv X Pro - Multi-Layer Reversal Detection System
## Overview
Piv X Pro is an advanced technical analysis indicator that combines dynamic pivot detection, Williams %R momentum divergence analysis, and multiple VWAP anchoring methods to identify high-probability mean reversion opportunities. Unlike simple indicator combinations, this script implements a layered filtration system where each component validates and refines signals from the previous layer, resulting in significantly fewer but higher-quality reversal setups.
## Core Methodology
### 1. Dynamic ATR-Based Pivot Detection
The script uses an adaptive pivot detection algorithm that adjusts sensitivity based on market volatility. Instead of fixed lookback periods, pivot strength is calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR):
**Calculation:** `pivot_strength = max(min_strength, min(ATR / mintick * multiplier, max_strength))`
This ensures:
- More sensitive pivots in low volatility (smaller ATR)
- More significant pivots in high volatility (larger ATR)
- Automatic adaptation across different market conditions and timeframes
**Significance Filtering:** Pivots must exceed a minimum ATR distance from recent price action (default 0.3 ATR) to filter noise. This prevents minor price fluctuations from being marked as significant pivots.
**Volume Confirmation (Optional):** Pivots can optionally require volume spikes (default 1.5x average volume) to ensure institutional participation.
### 2. Williams %R Momentum Divergence Engine
The script detects classic and hidden divergences between price pivots and Williams %R oscillator readings:
**Bullish Divergence Detection:**
- Price makes a lower low (confirmed pivot low)
- Williams %R makes a higher low (momentum improving)
- Divergence occurs in oversold zone (Williams %R ≤ -80)
- Lookback range: 60 bars maximum
**Bearish Divergence Detection:**
- Price makes a higher high (confirmed pivot high)
- Williams %R makes a lower high (momentum weakening)
- Divergence occurs in overbought zone (Williams %R ≥ -20)
- Lookback range: 60 bars maximum
**Divergence-Anchored VWAPs:** When a divergence is detected, a new VWAP calculation begins from that point, tracking institutional positioning relative to the momentum shift. This provides a dynamic mean reversion target that resets at each confirmed divergence.
### 3. Confluence Scoring System
Each detected pivot receives a numerical score (0-150+ points) based on multiple independent confirmation factors:
**Scoring Components:**
- Base Pivot Detection: 10 points
- Volume Spike Confirmation: 15 points
- Higher Timeframe Trend Alignment (4H EMA): 20 points
- RSI Extreme Levels (oversold/overbought): 25 points
- Mean Reversion Distance (>2.5 ATR from HTF MA): 20 points
- Exhaustion Patterns (price move + volume spike): 10 points
- ATR Price Confirmation: 10 points
- RSI Divergence: 15 points
- Swing Failure Pattern (SFP): 15 points
- Liquidity Sweep: 10 points
- Candle Reversal Confirmation: 10 points
- Key Level Alignment (previous day/week highs/lows): 10 points
- Fair Value Gap (FVG) Fill: 10 points
- Session Weighting (London/NY sessions): 10 points
- Multi-Timeframe Pivot Confluence: 15 points
**Zone Classification:**
- Regular Zones: Score 60-89 (green/purple boxes)
- Golden Zones: Score 90+ (yellow boxes with thicker borders)
Higher scores indicate stronger confluence and higher probability setups, but no prediction is guaranteed.
### 4. Mean Reversion Distance Filter
The script calculates how far price has stretched from the higher timeframe moving average:
**Calculation:** `distance_from_htf_ma = (close - HTF_EMA) / ATR`
**Mean Reversion Condition:**
- For long setups: Price >2.5 ATR below HTF EMA when HTF trend is up
- For short setups: Price >2.5 ATR above HTF EMA when HTF trend is down
This ensures pivots are only highlighted when price is statistically stretched and likely to revert toward the mean.
### 5. Multi-Period VWAP Framework
The script provides multiple VWAP calculations for different analysis purposes:
**Extreme VWAPs:**
- Bottom VWAP: Anchored to the absolute lowest low in the lookback period (default 50 bars)
- Top VWAP: Anchored to the absolute highest high in the lookback period
**Periodic VWAPs:**
- 4D VWAP: Resets every 4 days
- 9D VWAP: Resets every 9 days
- 4H VWAP: Resets every 4 hours
- 8H VWAP: Resets every 8 hours
- Weekly VWAP: Resets at the start of each week
- Monthly VWAP: Resets at the start of each month
- Yearly VWAP: Resets at the start of each year
**Previous Period VWAPs:**
- Previous Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly VWAPs are displayed as reference levels for support/resistance
**Divergence VWAPs:**
- Bullish Divergence VWAP: Resets at each bullish Williams %R divergence
- Bearish Divergence VWAP: Resets at each bearish Williams %R divergence
### 6. IBSS Pro Mean Reversion System
An integrated scalping system that provides entry signals within high-probability pivot zones:
**Components:**
- Dual EMA System: Fast EMA (12) and Slow EMA (26) with color-coded trend visualization
- RSI Oversold/Overbought Detection: Configurable levels (default 30/70)
- Zone-Based Entry: Signals only trigger when price is within active pivot zones (0.3 ATR around confirmed pivots)
- ATR-Based Dynamic Stops: Stop losses trail with position using ATR multiplier
**Signal Generation:**
- Buy signals: RSI crosses above oversold + Fast EMA > Slow EMA + Price in pivot low zone
- Sell signals: RSI crosses below overbought + Fast EMA < Slow EMA + Price in pivot high zone
## Why This Combination is Unique
This is not a simple indicator mashup. The components work together in a specific hierarchy:
1. **Williams %R Divergence** identifies momentum shifts before price confirms the reversal
2. **Dynamic Pivots** mark actual price structure extremes with ATR-based significance filtering
3. **Confluence Scoring** quantifies setup quality using 10+ independent confirmation factors
4. **Mean Reversion Distance** confirms price is statistically stretched (>2.5 ATR from HTF MA)
5. **VWAP Framework** tracks institutional positioning and provides objective mean levels
6. **IBSS Signals** provide precise entries within high-probability zones
Each layer filters the previous one, resulting in significantly fewer but higher-quality signals than any single indicator alone. The divergence-anchored VWAPs are unique - they reset at momentum shifts rather than arbitrary time periods, providing more relevant mean reversion targets.
## How to Use This Indicator
### For Swing Trading (15m-1H Charts)
1. Wait for a major pivot to form (diamond marker appears below/above bars)
2. Check the confluence score displayed in the zone label
3. Look for Golden Zones (score 90+, yellow boxes with thicker borders)
4. Enter when price enters the pivot zone (0.3 ATR around the pivot)
5. Use the nearest VWAP level as first target
6. Set stop loss beyond the pivot zone (typically 0.5-1 ATR)
### For Scalping (5m-15m Charts)
1. Enable IBSS Pro Signals in settings
2. Wait for price to enter an active pivot zone (colored boxes appear)
3. Take IBSS diamond signals that form within zones
4. Use ATR-based stop losses (dashed lines appear automatically if enabled)
5. Exit at pivot VWAP or opposite zone edge
### Visual Elements Explained
- **White/Purple Crosses**: Williams Divergence VWAPs (momentum-based mean reversion targets)
- **Green/Red Crosses**: Bottom/Top VWAPs (absolute extreme levels)
- **Colored Boxes**: Pivot reversal zones (opacity indicates confluence score)
- **Yellow Boxes**: Golden zones (90+ score, highest probability setups)
- **Small Diamonds**: Regular pivot detections
- **Green/Red Tiny Diamonds**: IBSS scalp entry signals (if enabled)
- **White/Purple MAs**: IBSS trend filter (12/26 EMA with cloud)
- **Dotted Lines**: Structure lines connecting consecutive pivots of same type
- **Blue Dashed Lines**: Market Structure Shift (CHoCH) markers
### Recommended Settings
**Conservative (Lower Timeframes 1m-5m):**
- ATR Pivot Strength: 0.8-1.0
- Volume Threshold: 2.0
- Min Pivot Significance: 0.4-0.5
- Enable ATR Confirmation: Yes
- Real-Time Mode: Off
- Score Threshold: 80+
**Aggressive (Higher Timeframes 15m-1H):**
- ATR Pivot Strength: 0.6-0.8
- Volume Threshold: 1.5
- Min Pivot Significance: 0.3
- Enable ATR Confirmation: No
- Real-Time Mode: On
- Score Threshold: 60+
## Chart Requirements
This indicator should be used **alone on a clean chart** with:
- Standard candlestick or bar chart type (NO Heikin Ashi, Renko, Point & Figure, or Range charts)
- No other indicators overlaid (all functionality is self-contained)
- Symbol and timeframe clearly visible in chart
- Full indicator name "Piv X Pro" visible in chart legend
## Important Disclaimers
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- All signals are probabilistic indicators, not trading guarantees
- Use proper risk management and position sizing
- Test thoroughly on demo accounts before live trading
- Higher confluence scores indicate better setups but no prediction is certain
- Mean reversion strategies work best in ranging/choppy markets; may underperform in strong trending markets
- The lookahead bias warning: HTF EMA uses `barmerge.lookahead_on` for trend filtering only (not for signal generation), which may cause historical bars to show different trend states than real-time
## Key Differentiators
Unlike basic pivot or VWAP indicators:
- **Dynamic ATR-based pivot detection** vs static lookback periods
- **Quantified confluence scoring** vs subjective interpretation
- **Mean reversion distance filtering** (>2.5 ATR from HTF MA) vs all pivots shown
- **Divergence-anchored VWAPs** vs static period VWAPs
- **Multi-layer confirmation system** (10+ independent factors) vs single signal generation
- **Integrated scalping system** that only triggers in high-probability zones
This script is open-source and available for educational purposes. Users are encouraged to understand the methodology before using it for live trading decisions.
Breaker Blocks Finder | Gold | ProjectSyndicateProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder
📊 Overview
The ProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder (PS BB Finder) is a professional-grade Pine Script indicator designed to detect and display Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology. This indicator is specifically optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) trading but works reliably across all symbols and timeframes.
Key Features

🎯 What are Breaker Blocks?
A Breaker Block is a failed order block that becomes a new support or resistance zone after being invalidated by price. It represents a market structure shift where institutional traders (smart money) have flipped their position.
Bullish Breaker Block
A Bullish Breaker Block forms when:
1 A bearish order block (resistance zone) exists
2 Price breaks ABOVE this zone with strong displacement
3 The former resistance zone now becomes SUPPORT
4 Price may retest this zone before continuing higher
Visual: Green box with "BB ▲" label
Bearish Breaker Block
A Bearish Breaker Block forms when:
5 A bullish order block (support zone) exists
6 Price breaks BELOW this zone with strong displacement
7 The former support zone now becomes RESISTANCE
8 Price may retest this zone before continuing lower
Visual: Red box with "BB ▼" label
⚙️ Default Settings

🎓 How to Use
Step 1: Identify Breaker Blocks
Once the indicator is loaded, breaker blocks will automatically appear on your chart:
• Green boxes = Bullish breaker blocks (former resistance, now support)
• Red boxes = Bearish breaker blocks (former support, now resistance)
Step 2: Wait for Retest
The most reliable trading opportunities occur when price retests the breaker block zone:
• For bullish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back down to the green zone
• For bearish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back up to the red zone
Step 3: Look for Confluence
Combine breaker blocks with other SMC concepts for higher probability setups:
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within the breaker block zone
• Liquidity grabs before the retest
• Break of Structure (BoS) or Change of Character (ChoCH) confirmation
Step 4: Enter the Trade
Bullish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bullish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Below the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing high or higher
Bearish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bearish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Above the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing low or lower
🛡️ Non-Repainting Guarantee
This indicator is 100% non-repainting, meaning:
✅ Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Historical breaker blocks remain in the exact same location indefinitely
✅ Backtesting results are reliable and consistent
🐛 Troubleshooting
Issue: No Breaker Blocks Appearing
Solutions:
• Ensure "Use Displacement Filter" is enabled.
• On M30/H1, try lowering the "Displacement Multiplier" to 1.0.
• Scroll back in history; blocks may not be present on the most recent bars.
Issue: Too Many Breaker Blocks
Solutions:
• Increase "Displacement Multiplier" to 2.5 or 3.0.
• Increase "Swing Detection Length" to 12-15.
• Decrease "Max Breaker Blocks" to 3-4.

********************************************************************************************************************WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
This indicator is a structure-first breakout engine designed around how price actually transitions between balance and expansion.
It does not predict reversals.
It waits for confirmed market structure breaks, then:
Anchors risk using recent wave extremes
Projects deterministic TP/SL zones
Tracks outcomes visually and statistically
Optionally exits early when momentum exhausts (RSI fade)
This makes it ideal for:
Directional traders
Swing continuation setups
Expansion phases after compression
🧠 CORE SIGNAL ARCHITECT LOGIC
1️⃣ Market Structure Identification
The system uses pivot highs and pivot lows to define true structural levels:
Pivot High break → Long bias
Pivot Low break → Short bias
This avoids:
Random candle breakouts
Intrabar noise
False momentum spikes
Only confirmed structural levels are traded.
2️⃣ Entry Trigger (Structure Break)
A trade is triggered only when price closes through structure:
Direction Requirement
Long Close breaks above last confirmed pivot high
Short Close breaks below last confirmed pivot low
📌 Important:
No signal fires if you are already in a trade — one position at a time, clean sequencing.
3️⃣ Stop-Loss Logic (Wave-Anchored Risk)
Stops are not arbitrary.
They are anchored to:
Recent wave low (for longs)
Recent wave high (for shorts)
This ensures:
Stops sit beyond real market structure
Risk reflects actual auction failure, not candle noise
4️⃣ Take-Profit Logic (Risk × Reward)
Take-profit is mechanically derived:
TP = Risk × Risk:Reward Ratio
Examples:
RR = 1.0 → TP = same distance as SL
RR = 1.5 → TP = 1.5× SL distance
RR = 2.0 → TP = expansion-focused swings
This keeps results comparable, repeatable, and testable.
5️⃣ Optional RSI Exit (Momentum Fade)
RSI is not used for entries.
It is used only as an optional early-exit filter:
Trade RSI Condition
Long RSI crosses down from Overbought
Short RSI crosses up from Oversold
This is designed for:
Reducing give-back during exhaustion
Tight markets where expansion stalls
Volatility contraction environments
🔕 You can disable this entirely for pure structure trading.

WoAlgo x DBG v3 Premium**WoAlgo x DBG v3 Premium - Breakout & Trailing System**
## Overview
WoAlgo x DBG v3 Premium is a comprehensive trading indicator that combines breakout detection, EMA crossover signals, and an intelligent trailing stop mechanism. This indicator is designed to identify potential entry points and manage trades with dynamic exit strategies.
## How It Works
The indicator operates using a multi-component approach:
**Entry Mechanism (3 Modes)**
1. **Breakout Mode**: Detects when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows, simulating pending stop orders
2. **EMA Cross Mode**: Generates signals based on fast/slow EMA crossovers (default: 10/21)
3. **Both Mode**: Combines breakout and EMA signals for confluence-based entries
**Trailing Stop System**
The core feature of this indicator is its trailing stop mechanism:
- Activates when trade reaches minimum profit threshold (default: 0.6 points)
- Moves stop loss progressively as price moves favorably (default step: 0.2 points)
- Locks in profits while allowing trades to capture extended moves
- Provides dynamic exit rather than fixed take profit only
**Time Filter**
- Customizable trading window with timezone conversion
- Day-of-week filters to avoid specific trading days
- Automatic pending order cancellation outside trading hours
## Key Features
- **Non-Repainting Signals**: All signals confirmed on bar close only
- **Real-Time Dashboard**: Displays win rate, profit factor, trade statistics, and exit type breakdown
- **Visual Trade Management**: Shows entry, TP, SL, and trailing stop levels on chart
- **Pending Zone Visualization**: Displays potential breakout trigger levels
- **Comprehensive Alerts**: Separate alerts for entries, TP hits, SL hits
## Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Entry Mode | Breakout | Signal generation method |
| Breakout Period | 1 | Candles for high/low calculation |
| Breakout Buffer | 0.3 | Distance from high/low for pending |
| Fast EMA | 10 | Fast moving average period |
| Slow EMA | 21 | Slow moving average period |
| Take Profit | 5.0 | Points for TP level |
| Stop Loss | 8.0 | Points for SL level |
| Trail Start | 0.6 | Minimum profit to activate trailing |
| Trail Step | 0.2 | Trailing stop movement increment |
## How to Use
1. **Apply to Chart**: Add indicator to your preferred timeframe
2. **Configure Time Filter**: Set your trading session hours and timezone offset
3. **Monitor Signals**:
- Green triangle = potential long entry
- Red triangle = potential short entry
4. **Track Active Trades**: Dashboard shows current position status and statistics
5. **Review Performance**: Check win rate, profit factor, and exit type distribution
## Dashboard Statistics
The real-time dashboard displays:
- Total trades, wins, and losses
- Win rate percentage
- Profit factor calculation
- Exit type breakdown (TP / Trailing / SL hits)
- Net profit and maximum drawdown
- Current position status
## Best Practices
- **Timeframe Selection**: Test on multiple timeframes to find optimal settings for your trading style
- **Parameter Optimization**: Adjust TP/SL/Trailing parameters based on instrument volatility
- **Time Filter Usage**: Enable time filter to avoid low-liquidity periods
- **Confluence Approach**: Consider using "Both" entry mode for higher probability setups
- **Risk Management**: Always use position sizing appropriate to your account
## Limitations
- Indicator performance varies across different market conditions
- Historical statistics shown do not guarantee future results

Position Size Calc - Prime Hour Trading v2Descriptive Summary:
The tool acts as a "cockpit dashboard" for your trades, visually mapping out entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels directly on your chart. It eliminates manual math by instantly converting your personal risk parameters—such as account balance and risk percentage (e.g., 1–2%)—into the exact number of shares, lots, or contracts required for the trade.
Core Features & Functionality
Dynamic Visual Planning: Users can drag entry and exit lines in real-time, with position sizes automatically recalculating as the distance between entry and stop-loss changes.
Automated Risk Modeling: It provides a real-time Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR) and precise dollar amounts for potential profit or loss, helping traders stay disciplined and avoid emotional overleveraging.
Advanced Calculation Modes:
Fixed Risk: Risking a set dollar amount or percentage of total equity.
How to Use It
Select the Tool: In the left-hand toolbar, select the Long Position or Short Position drawing tool.
Define Levels: Click on the chart to set your entry, then drag the shaded regions to set your target prices or Take Profit and then Stop Loss.
Input Account Data: Double-click the tool to open "Settings" and enter your Account Size and Risk % or Amount.
AlphaStrike: Zen ModeDescription:
1. The Philosophy: Reducing Cognitive Load Modern charts are often cluttered with dozens of noisy lines (Bollinger Bands, Moving Averages, Oscillators) that lead to "Analysis Paralysis." This script is designed with a "Zen" philosophy: P rocess the complexity in the background, but display only the decision.
This is not a simple indicator overlay. It is a Risk-Based Trading Engine that runs multiple validation checks (Momentum, Volatility, and Price Action) simultaneously but hides the underlying calculations to keep the chart clean. It focuses the trader's attention on the two things that matter most: Trend Direction and Position Sizing.
2. The "Invisible" Technical Engine The script operates on a Dual-State Logic system that adapts to market conditions. It uses standard indicators as filters, not just visuals.
A. Trend State (The Backbone) The script calculates a volatility-adjusted Trend Baseline (SuperTrend).
Green State: The market is in a markup phase. The script looks for continuation.
Red State: The market is in a markdown phase. The script looks for defense.
B. The "Confluence" Reversal Logic Instead of cluttering the screen with Bollinger Bands and RSI windows, the script performs these checks internally:
Condition 1 (Volatility): Is price extending beyond the 2.0 Standard Deviation (Bollinger Lower/Upper)?
Condition 2 (Momentum): Is RSI overextended (<35 or >65)?
Condition 3 (Price Action): Is there a specific Pin Bar candle pattern (Long wick rejection)?
Result: Only when all three conditions align does the script print a "Reversal Circle." This filters out weak signals that usually occur in strong trends.
3. The Risk Management Calculator (Key Feature) Most traders fail not because of bad entries, but because of inconsistent sizing. This script features a built-in Dynamic Position Sizing Dashboard located in the bottom right.
Adaptive Stop Loss:
In a Trend: The Stop Loss is automatically set to the Trend Line (SuperTrend).
In a Reversal: The script internally scans for the nearest Swing Low/High (using hidden Pivot calculations) and sets the Stop Loss there.
Position Sizing Math: The dashboard reads your Account Size and Risk % inputs. It instantly calculates the "Max Size" (contract/share amount) allowed for the current trade.
Formula: Position Size = (Account Value * Risk %) / Distance to Stop.
Benefit: This ensures you risk the exact same dollar amount on every trade, whether the stop loss is 1% away or 10% away.
4. How to Read the Signals
Triangles (Breakouts): These represent a shift in the dominant trend direction.
Green Triangle: Bullish Trend Start.
Red Triangle: Bearish Trend Start.
Circles (Mean Reversion): These are high-probability counter-trend plays.
Blue Circle: Buy Reversal (Oversold + Pinbar + Bollinger Support).
Orange Circle: Sell Reversal (Overbought + Pinbar + Bollinger Resistance).
5. Settings
Trend Settings: Adjust the ATR Period and Factor to change the sensitivity of the trend line.
Reversal Settings: Tweak the RSI and Bollinger thresholds to filter out more/less signals.
Risk Management: Input your total Account Size and desired Risk Per Trade (e.g., 1%) to calibrate the Dashboard.
Disclaimer This tool provides algorithmic analysis and risk calculations. It does not guarantee profits or provide financial advice. Always verify position sizes before executing.
Bear & Bull Builder // visual strategy builderAre you a trend follower?
Trend following systems have been a cornerstone of trading since the first candlestick charts were invented in 18th-century Japan by Munehisa Homma (or Honma), a legendary rice merchant who used them to analyze market sentiment and predict price movements. Since then, legendary traders like Richard Dennis and Dr. David Paul have used technical analysis—the study of turning points and trends of candlestick charts—to develop an edge and strategy for trading equity, commodity, and forex markets.
How to Utilize the Bear & Bull Builder
This script is a way to pick and choose technical methods like SMAs and EMAs to define trend exits and entries. Additionally, you can specify an ATR (Average True Range) calculated stop loss based on your individual strategy and trading plan. Within the settings panel, you can set up this script to display only Long Position values, zones, and levels—or configure it for shorts, or both.
What Makes This Original
Unlike most trend-following indicators that lock you into a single approach, this script lets you combine different indicator types (RSI, WaveTrend, CCI, EMA, SMA) across three separate trend timeframes. The originality comes from the flexibility: you can test whether momentum-based trends (like RSI) work better than moving averages for your timeframe, or experiment with mixing them together. The script also bridges the gap between manual trading and automation by providing visual position values and fill zones that show exactly where signals generate versus where orders execute—critical information most scripts ignore.
Getting Started
For this quick and easy setup example, I built a strategy that is long-only, displays only long positional data and values, and uses a 21 & 55 period exponential moving average for the short and medium-term trend in addition to an 89 period simple moving average for my longer-term outlook. I have set my ATR-based multiplier to 0.75, and have left the fill zone display turned on to help visualize when to set up the built-in alerts for automating my strategy. I have made this the default settings of the script.
Positional Values
GREEN NUMBERS → Entry signal price
YELLOW NUMBERS → Stop loss price
BLUE NUMBERS → Exit signal price
IMPORTANT
I cannot describe how useful it is to use TradingView's built-in Long and Short position tools! The whole reason for this script is that it is as manually friendly as it is automated—especially for backtesting. You can use the long position tool to measure exact profits and losses on individual trades for the strategies you build. This can really help you see clearly if you have built a system with positive expectancy.
Tables
1. Settings Display Table
Displays the trend types that are configurable in the settings panel. Shows if positional values for longs and shorts are currently displayed.
2. Back testing Table
Displays the total amount of long and short entry signals since the first bar of the chart. Additionally, it displays the average amount of bars per trade (time in trade).
Alerts & Automation
There are 4 built-in alerts for automating your strategy to an external server:
1.Long Entries
2.Long Exits
3.Short Entries
4.Short Exits
Since this script uses confirmed bar states for alert generation (to avoid repainting), all alerts and displayed position values (the green, yellow, and blue numbers) will be sent on the closing price. Each alert has a placeholder preset for further customization.
Technical Details
How the trend detection works:
Bullish state triggers when close > all three selected trends
Bearish state triggers when close < all three selected trends
Uses barstate.isconfirmed to prevent repainting
Stop loss calculation:
Long stops: highest_trend - (ATR × multiplier)
Short stops: lowest_trend + (ATR × multiplier)
ATR period is fixed at 20 bars, multiplier is user-adjustable
Entry placement logic:
Long entries execute at the highest value among the three selected trends
Short entries execute at the lowest value among the three selected trends
This ensures entries occur near the support/resistance created by the trend lines
Why calculate all indicators upfront:
The script calculates all five indicator types (EMA, SMA, RSI, CCI, WaveTrend) for all three trend lengths on every bar, then selectively uses the ones you choose in settings. This prevents Pine Script consistency warnings while maintaining flexibility.

Simple Candle Strategy# Candle Pattern Strategy - Pine Script V6
## Overview
A TradingView trading strategy script (Pine Script V6) that identifies candlestick patterns over a configurable lookback period and generates trading signals based on pattern recognition rules.
## Strategy Logic
The strategy analyzes the most recent N candlesticks (default: 5) and classifies their patterns into three categories, then generates buy/sell signals based on specific pattern combinations.
### Candlestick Pattern Classification
Each candlestick is classified as one of three types:
| Pattern | Definition | Formula |
|---------|-----------|---------|
| **Close at High** | Close price near the highest price of the candle | `(high - close) / (high - low) ≤ (1 - threshold)` |
| **Close at Low** | Close price near the lowest price of the candle | `(close - low) / (high - low) ≤ (1 - threshold)` |
| **Doji** | Opening and closing prices very close; long upper/lower wicks | `abs(close - open) / (high - low) ≤ threshold` |
### Trading Rules
| Condition | Action | Signal |
|-----------|--------|--------|
| Number of Doji candles ≥ 3 | **SKIP** - Market is too chaotic | No trade |
| "Close at High" count ≥ 2 + Last candle closes at high | **LONG** - Bullish confirmation | Buy Signal |
| "Close at Low" count ≥ 2 + Last candle closes at low | **SHORT** - Bearish confirmation | Sell Signal |
## Configuration Parameters
All parameters are adjustable in TradingView's "Settings/Inputs" tab:
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **K-line Lookback Period** | 5 | 3-20 | Number of candlesticks to analyze |
| **Doji Threshold** | 0.1 | 0.0-1.0 | Body size / Total range ratio for doji identification |
| **Doji Count Limit** | 3 | 1-10 | Number of dojis that triggers skip signal |
| **Close at High Proximity** | 0.9 | 0.5-1.0 | Required proximity to highest price (0.9 = 90%) |
| **Close at Low Proximity** | 0.9 | 0.5-1.0 | Required proximity to lowest price (0.9 = 90%) |
### Parameter Tuning Guide
#### Proximity Thresholds (Close at High/Low)
- **0.95 or higher**: Stricter - only very strong candles qualify
- **0.90 (default)**: Balanced - good for most market conditions
- **0.80 or lower**: Looser - catches more patterns, higher false signals
#### Doji Threshold
- **0.05-0.10**: Strict doji identification
- **0.10-0.15**: Standard doji detection
- **0.15+**: Includes near-doji patterns
#### Lookback Period
- **3-5 bars**: Fast, sensitive to recent patterns
- **5-10 bars**: Balanced approach
- **10-20 bars**: Slower, filters out noise
## Visual Indicators
### Chart Markers
- **Green Up Arrow** ▲: Long entry signal triggered
- **Red Down Arrow** ▼: Short entry signal triggered
- **Gray X**: Skip signal (too many dojis detected)
### Statistics Table
Located at top-right corner, displays real-time pattern counts:
- **Close at High**: Count of candles closing near the high
- **Close at Low**: Count of candles closing near the low
- **Doji**: Count of doji/near-doji patterns
### Signal Labels
- Green label: "✓ Long condition met" - below entry bar
- Red label: "✓ Short condition met" - above entry bar
- Gray label: "⊠ Too many dojis, skip" - trade skipped
## Risk Management
### Exit Strategy
The strategy includes built-in exit rules based on ATR (Average True Range):
- **Stop Loss**: ATR × 2
- **Take Profit**: ATR × 3
Example: If ATR is $10, stop loss is at -$20 and take profit is at +$30
### Position Sizing
Default: 100% of equity per trade (adjustable in strategy properties)
**Recommendation**: Reduce to 10-25% of equity for safer capital allocation

## Important Notes
### Before Trading Live
1. **Backtest thoroughly**: Test on at least 6-12 months of historical data
2. **Paper trading first**: Practice with simulated trades
3. **Optimize parameters**: Find the best settings for your trading instrument
4. **Manage risk**: Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
5. **Monitor performance**: Review trades regularly and adjust as needed
### Market Conditions
The strategy works best in:
- Trending markets with clear directional bias
- Range-bound markets with defined support/resistance
- Markets with moderate volatility
The strategy may underperform in:
- Highly choppy/noisy markets (many false signals)
- Markets with gaps or overnight gaps
- Low liquidity periods
### Limitations
- Works on chart timeframes only (not intrabar analysis)
- Requires at least 5 bars of history (configurable)
- Fixed exit rules may not suit all trading styles
- No trend filtering (will trade both directions)
## Technical Details
### Historical Buffer Management
The strategy declares maximum bars back to ensure enough historical data:
```pine
max_bars_back(close, 20)
max_bars_back(open, 20)
max_bars_back(high, 20)
max_bars_back(low, 20)
```
This prevents runtime errors when accessing historical candlestick data.
### Pattern Detection Algorithm
```
For each bar in lookback period:
1. Calculate (high - close) / (high - low) → close_to_high_ratio
2. If close_to_high_ratio ≤ (1 - threshold) → count as "Close at High"
3. Calculate (close - low) / (high - low) → close_to_low_ratio
4. If close_to_low_ratio ≤ (1 - threshold) → count as "Close at Low"
5. Calculate abs(close - open) / (high - low) → body_ratio
6. If body_ratio ≤ doji_threshold → count as "Doji"
Signal Generation:
7. If doji_count ≥ cross_count_limit → SKIP_SIGNAL
8. If close_at_high_count ≥ 2 AND last_close_at_high → LONG_SIGNAL
9. If close_at_low_count ≥ 2 AND last_close_at_low → SHORT_SIGNAL
```
## Example Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Bullish Signal
```
Last 5 bars pattern:
Bar 1: Closes at high (95%) ✓
Bar 2: Closes at high (92%) ✓
Bar 3: Closes at mid (50%)
Bar 4: Closes at low (10%)
Bar 5: Closes at high (96%) ✓ (last bar)
Result:
- Close at high count: 3 (≥ 2) ✓
- Last closes at high: ✓
- Doji count: 0 (< 3) ✓
→ LONG SIGNAL ✓
```
### Scenario 2: Skip Signal
```
Last 5 bars pattern:
Bar 1: Doji pattern ✓
Bar 2: Doji pattern ✓
Bar 3: Closes at mid
Bar 4: Doji pattern ✓
Bar 5: Closes at high
Result:
- Doji count: 3 (≥ 3)
→ SKIP SIGNAL - Market too chaotic
```
## Performance Optimization
### Tips for Better Results
1. **Use Higher Timeframes**: 15m or higher reduces false signals
2. **Combine with Indicators**: Add volume or trend filters
3. **Seasonal Adjustment**: Different parameters for different seasons
4. **Instrument Selection**: Test on liquid, high-volume instruments
5. **Regular Rebalancing**: Adjust parameters quarterly based on performance
## Troubleshooting
### No Signals Generated
- Check if lookback period is too large
- Verify proximity thresholds aren't too strict (try 0.85 instead of 0.95)
- Ensure doji limit allows for trading (try 4-5 instead of 3)
### Too Many False Signals
- Increase proximity thresholds to 0.95+
- Reduce lookback period to 3-4 bars
- Increase doji limit to 3-4
- Test on higher timeframes
### Strategy Tester Shows Losses
- Review individual trades to identify patterns
- Adjust stop loss and take profit ratios
- Change lookback period and thresholds
- Test on different market conditions

Realtime Position CalculatorRisk management is the single most important factor in trading success. This indicator automates the process of position sizing in real-time based on your account risk and a dynamic technical Stop Loss. It eliminates the need for manual calculations and helps you execute trades faster while adhering to strict risk management rules.
How it Works
The indicator visually places a Stop Loss line based on recent market structure (Highs/Lows) and instantly calculates the required position size (Contracts/Lots) to match your defined monetary risk.
1. Dynamic Stop Loss : It identifies the highest high (for Shorts) or lowest low (for Longs) over a user-defined lookback period.
2. Position Calculation : It calculates the distance between the current price and the Stop Loss level.
3. Formula : Contract Size = Risk Amount / (Distance * Point Value)
4. Actual vs. Target Risk : Because of the rounding, the script calculates and displays the Actual Risk (e.g., $95) alongside your Target Risk (e.g., $100), so you know exactly what is at stake.
Key Features
Real-time Calculation : Updates instantly as price moves.
Copy Trading Support : Includes an "Account Multiplier" setting. If you trade 10 accounts via a copy trader, set the multiplier to 10. The indicator will show the total contract size needed across all accounts.
Point Value Support : Works for Stocks/Crypto (Point Value = 1) and Futures (e.g., ES = 50, NQ = 20).
Customizable UI : Toggle specific data on/off in the label (e.g., hide price, show only contracts). Adjustable label offset to keep the chart clean.
Settings Guide
Trade Direction : Toggle between Long and Short setups. Add the indicator two times and set another for Longs and another for Shorts so you can see both direction at the same time.
Risk Amount : Your max risk in currency (e.g., $100).
Lookback : How many bars back to look for the SL pivot (e.g., 10 bars).
Point Value : Crucial for Futures. Use 1.0 for Crypto/Stocks. Use tick value/point value for futures (e.g., 50 for ES).
Account Multiplier : Multiply the position size for multiple accounts.
Label Offset : Move the information label to the right to avoid overlapping with price action.

Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQHere's a comprehensive description of the Options Scalper v2 strategy:
---
## Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQ
### Overview
A multi-indicator confluence-based scalping strategy designed for trading SPY and QQQ options on short timeframes (1-5 minute charts). The strategy uses a scoring system to generate high-probability CALL and PUT signals by requiring alignment across multiple technical indicators before triggering entries.
---
### Core Logic
The strategy operates on a **scoring system (0-9 points)** where both bullish (CALL) and bearish (PUT) conditions are evaluated independently. A signal only fires when:
1. A recent EMA crossover occurred (within the last 3 bars)
2. The direction's score meets the minimum threshold (default: 4 points)
3. The signal's score is higher than the opposite direction
4. Enough bars have passed since the last signal (cooldown period)
5. Price action occurs during valid trading sessions
---
### Indicators Used
| Indicator | Purpose | CALL Condition | PUT Condition |
|-----------|---------|----------------|---------------|
| **9/21 EMA Cross** | Primary trigger | Fast EMA crosses above slow | Fast EMA crosses below slow |
| **200 EMA** | Trend filter | Price above 200 EMA | Price below 200 EMA |
| **RSI (14)** | Momentum filter | RSI between 45-65 | RSI between 35-55 |
| **VWAP** | Institutional level | Price above VWAP | Price below VWAP |
| **MACD (12,26,9)** | Momentum confirmation | MACD line > Signal line | MACD line < Signal line |
| **Stochastic (14,3)** | Overbought/Oversold | Oversold or K > D | Overbought or K < D |
| **Volume** | Participation confirmation | Spike on green candle | Spike on red candle |
| **Price Structure** | Breakout detection | Higher high formed | Lower low formed |
---
### Scoring Breakdown
**CALL Score (Max 9 points):**
- Recent EMA cross up: +2 pts
- EMA alignment (fast > slow): +1 pt
- RSI in bullish range: +1 pt
- Above VWAP: +1 pt
- MACD bullish: +1 pt
- Volume spike on green candle: +1 pt
- Stochastic setup: +1 pt
- Above 200 EMA: +1 pt
- Breaking higher high: +1 pt
**PUT Score (Max 9 points):**
- Recent EMA cross down: +2 pts
- EMA alignment (fast < slow): +1 pt
- RSI in bearish range: +1 pt
- Below VWAP: +1 pt
- MACD bearish: +1 pt
- Volume spike on red candle: +1 pt
- Stochastic setup: +1 pt
- Below 200 EMA: +1 pt
- Breaking lower low: +1 pt
---
### Risk Management
The strategy uses **ATR-based dynamic stops and targets**:
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Stop Loss | 1.5x ATR | Distance below entry for longs, above for shorts |
| Take Profit | 2.0x ATR | Creates a 1:1.33 risk-reward ratio |
Positions are also closed on:
- Opposite direction signal (flip trade)
- Take profit or stop loss hit
---
### Session Filtering
Trades are restricted to high-liquidity periods by default:
- **Morning Session:** 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM EST
- **Afternoon Session:** 2:30 PM - 3:55 PM EST
This avoids choppy midday price action and captures the highest volume periods.
---
### Input Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| Fast EMA | 9 | Fast moving average period |
| Slow EMA | 21 | Slow moving average period |
| Trend EMA | 200 | Long-term trend filter |
| RSI Length | 14 | RSI calculation period |
| RSI Overbought | 65 | Upper RSI threshold |
| RSI Oversold | 35 | Lower RSI threshold |
| Volume Multiplier | 1.2x | Volume spike detection threshold |
| Min Signal Strength | 4 | Minimum score required to trigger |
| Crossover Lookback | 3 | Bars to consider crossover "recent" |
| Min Bars Between Signals | 5 | Cooldown period between signals |

Simulated Liquidation Heatmap [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator visualizes where clusters of stop-loss orders and liquidation levels are likely located, displayed as a 'heatmap'. It's based on the concept of market structure liquidity: large groups of stop orders tend to gather around obvious technical levels (like swing highs and lows), and these pools of orders often attract price movement from institutional traders. The indicator uses a fractal-based algorithm to identify these high-probability liquidation zones and displays them as dynamic, color-coded boxes.
The key feature is the thermal color gradient, which indicates the freshness (age) and therefore the relative relevance of the liquidity zone. Hot colors (e.g., Red/Yellow) represent fresh clusters that have just formed, suggesting strong and immediate liquidity interest. Cold colors (e.g., Blue/Purple) represent aged or decaying clusters that are becoming less relevant over time. This visualization allows traders to anticipate potential liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) and understand areas of significant retail and institutional positioning.
🟢 Key Features
1. Liquidity Zone Heatmap
The core function is the identification of swing high and swing low price points using a user-defined Lookback period. These points are where retail traders are statistically most likely to place their stop-loss orders. The indicator simulates the clustering of these orders by drawing a zone (box) around the detected swing point, with the vertical size controlled by the Stop/Liquidation Zone Width (%) setting.
▶ Cluster Lookback: Defines the sensitivity of swing point detection. Lower values detect frequent, minor zones (scalping/intraday); higher values detect major, stronger swing points (swing trading).
▶ Zone Width (%): Sets the percentage range above and below the swing point where stops are simulated to cluster, accounting for slippage and typical stop placement spread.
▶ Liquidity Decay: Zones gradually fade in color intensity and are eventually removed after the user-defined Liquidity Decay Period (Bars), ensuring the heatmap only displays relevant, current liquidity areas.
▶ Round Number Filter: An optional filter that limits the display to liquidity zones occurring only at psychologically significant round numbers (e.g., $100, $1,500.00), which typically attract higher concentrations of orders.
2. Thermal Color Gradient
The heatmap's color is a direct function of the zone's age, providing a visual proxy for immediate relevance.
▶ Freshness: Newly created zones are displayed in the Hot Color (high relevance).
▶ Decay: As bars pass, the zone color transitions along the gradient toward the Cold Color and increased transparency (lower relevance), until it is removed entirely.
▶ Color Schemes: Multiple pre-configured and custom color schemes are available to optimize the visualization for different chart themes and color preferences.
3. Liquidity Heat Thermometer
An optional visual thermometer is displayed on the chart to provide an instant, overall assessment of the current liquidation heat level in the immediate vicinity of the price.
▶ Calculation: The thermometer calculates an aggregate heat score based on the age and proximity of all liquidity zones within a user-defined Zone Detection Range (%) of the current price.
▶ Visual Feedback: A marker (triangle) points to the corresponding level on the thermometer's color gradient (Hot to Cold). A high reading indicates price is close to fresh, dense stop clusters, suggesting high volatility or an imminent liquidity sweep is probable. A low reading indicates price is in a low-density or aged liquidity area.
▶ Customization: The thermometer's resolution, position, and text size are fully customizable for optimal chart placement and readability.
🟢 Practical Applications
▶ Anticipate Sweeps: Prioritize trading in the direction of Hot (fresh) liquidity zones. For example, a hot low-side zone suggests strong sell-side liquidity (stop-losses) is available for large buyers to sweep.
▶ Filter Noise: Use the Round Number Filter to focus only on the highest probability liquidation zones, which are often at clean, psychological price levels.
▶ Validate Entries: Combine the Heat Thermometer with price action analysis. A rising heat level indicates increasing proximity to a major stop cluster, signaling a potential turn or an aggressive market move to sweep those stops.
▶ Risk Management: Understand that price often acts dynamically around these zones. High heat levels imply high risk/reward setups; stops should be placed strategically beyond the defined Liquidation Zone Width.
▶ Multi-Timeframe Context: Higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, 4-Hour) often reveal more significant, major liquidity zones. Use this indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min, 15-min) for execution, but prioritize zones that align with higher-timeframe structures.
Dark Vector ScalpingThe Dark Vector Scalping indicator is a high-frequency trend-following system designed specifically to capture rapid momentum shifts in the market. It combines a staircase-style breakout logic with volatility-adjusted trailing stops to define market direction.
While the underlying math is robust enough for various asset classes, this specific configuration is optimized for scalping operations on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It aims to filter out the "noise" common in lower timeframes while reacting quickly to genuine breakouts.
Core Components
1. The Apex Engine (Staircase Logic) Unlike traditional moving averages that curve with price, this engine uses a "hard" breakout logic. It looks back at a specific number of bars (Sensitivity) to find the highest highs and lowest lows.
Bullish Flip: Occurs when the price closes below the calculated low of the previous trend.
Bearish Flip: Occurs when the price closes above the calculated high of the previous trend.
Trailing Stop: Once a trend is established, a trailing stop line is drawn. This line only moves in the direction of the trend (up for bullish, down for bearish) and never retraces, acting as a ratchet to lock in paper profits.
2. Volatility Normalization To prevent getting stopped out by random market noise (scam wicks), the indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It multiplies this volatility metric by a user-defined deviation factor to determine exactly how far the stop line should be from the current price action.
3. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) Filter The script includes an optional 50-period Hull Moving Average. The HMA is known for being extremely fast and smooth, reducing lag compared to standard moving averages.
Visual Reference: You can plot the line to see the overall macro trend.
Hard Filter: You can enable a "Safety Filter" in the settings. If enabled, the system will only generate Buy signals if the price is above the HMA, and Sell signals if the price is below the HMA.
4. The Dashboard A data panel is located on the chart (customizable position) to provide instant numerical data without needing to calculate levels manually. It displays the current trend state, the exact price of the trailing stop, and the status of the HMA filter.
Settings & Configuration
Sensitivity (Lookback)
Default: 5
This is the primary setting for the Apex Engine. A setting of 5 is the "sweet spot" for 1-minute and 5-minute charts. It allows the system to react very quickly to sudden volume spikes. Increasing this number (e.g., to 10) will make the signals slower and more conservative.
Stop Deviation
Default: 3.0
This controls the "breathing room" for the trade. A value of 3.0 allows for standard volatility on minute charts without triggering a premature exit. Lowering this to 2.0 will result in tighter stops but more false signals.
HMA Filter
Use HMA as Filter? (Default: OFF):
When OFF, the system signals purely on price action breakouts (fastest).
When ON, the system waits for the price to align with the 50-period HMA before signaling (safest, but may delay entry).
How to Interpret Visuals
Candle Colors
Teal/Green: The market is in a Bullish regime.
Red/Pink: The market is in a Bearish regime.
The Line
The solid stepped line represents the hard invalidation point. If price closes beyond this line, the trend is considered over.
Diamond Signals
Light Green Diamond (Below Bar): Confirmed Buy Signal. A new bullish trend has started.
Light Red/Pink Diamond (Above Bar): Confirmed Sell Signal. A new bearish trend has started.
Trading Strategy Guide
The Scalp Entry
Ensure you are on a 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe.
Wait for a signal Diamond to close. Do not enter while the bar is still forming, as the signal may repaint (disappear) if the price retraces before the close.
Long Entry: Enter when a Green Diamond appears and the candle turns Teal.
Short Entry: Enter when a Red Diamond appears and the candle turns Red.
Risk Management
Stop Loss: Your invalidation level is the "Apex Stop" line. You can place your hard stop loss slightly beyond this line.
Take Profit: Because this is a trend-following system, it is often best to hold until the candle color changes, or to take profit at fixed Risk:Reward ratios (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
The HMA Nuance If you find the market is "choppy" (moving sideways), enable the "Use HMA as Filter" option in the settings. This will force the system to ignore signals that are counter-trend to the longer-term momentum.
Disclaimer
The information provided by the "Dark Vector Scalping" indicator and this accompanying guide is for educational and informational purposes only.

You could lose some or all of your initial investment.
AliceTears GridAliceTears Grid is a customizable Mean Reversion system designed to capitalize on market volatility during specific trading sessions. Unlike standard grid bots that place blind limit orders, this strategy establishes a daily or session-based "Baseline" and looks for price over-extensions to fade the move back to the mean.
This strategy is best suited for ranging markets (sideways accumulation) or specific forex sessions (e.g., Asian Session or NY/London overlap) where price tends to revert to the opening price.
🛠 How It Works
1. The Baseline & Grid Generation At the start of every session (or the daily open), the script records the Open price. It then projects visual grid lines above and below this price based on your Step % input.
Example: If the Open is $100 and Step is 1%, lines are drawn at $101, $102, $99, $98, etc.
2. Entry Logic: Reversal Mode This script features a "Reversal Mode" (enabled by default) to filter out "falling knives."
Standard Grid: Buys immediately when price touches the line.
AliceTears Logic: Waits for the price to breach a grid level and then close back inside towards the mean. This confirms a potential rejection of that level before entering.
3. Exit Logic
Target Profit: The primary target is the previous grid level (Mean Reversion).
Trailing Stop: If the price continues moving in your favor, a trailing stop activates to maximize the run.
Stop Loss: A manual percentage-based stop loss is available to prevent deep drawdowns in trending markets.
⚙️ Key Features
Visual Grid: Automatically draws entry levels on the chart for the current session, helping you visualize where the "math" is waiting for price.
Timezone & Session Control: Includes a custom Timezone Offset tool. You can trade specific hours (e.g., 09:30–16:00) regardless of your chart's UTC setting.
Grid Management: Independent logic for Long and Short grids with pyramiding capabilities.
Safety Filters: Options to force-close trades at the end of the session to avoid overnight gaps.
⚠️ Risk Warning
Please Read Before Using: This is a Counter-Trend / Grid Strategy.
Pros: High win rate in sideways/ranging markets.
Cons: In strong trending markets (parabolic pumps or crashes), this strategy will add to losing positions ("catch a falling knife").
Recommendation: Always use the Stop Loss and Date Filter inputs. Do not run this on highly volatile assets without strict risk management parameters.
Settings Guide
Entry Reversal Mode: Keep checked for safer entries. Uncheck for aggressive limit-order style execution.
Grid Step (%): The distance between lines. For Forex, use lower values (0.1% - 0.5%). For Crypto, use higher values (1.0% - 3.0%).
UTC Offset: Adjust this to align the Session Hours with your target market (e.g., -5 for New York).

🎓 UNDERSTANDING THE METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator is built on three core concepts:
1. ORDER FLOW THEORY
Markets move between premium (expensive) and discount (cheap) zones. Smart money accumulates in discount zones and distributes in premium zones. This indicator identifies these zones automatically.
2. ADAPTIVE TREND FOLLOWING
Unlike fixed-period moving averages, the Elite Trend Engine adjusts to current market volatility, providing more accurate trend signals in both trending and ranging conditions.
3. CONFLUENCE-BASED ENTRIES
Signals only trigger when multiple conditions align:
- Price in correct zone (premium for shorts, discount for longs)
- Trend confirmation (cloud color matches direction)
- Volume validation (spike or climax present)
- Price action strength (strong rejection candles)
This multi-layer approach dramatically reduces false signals.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔔 ALERT SETUP
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator includes 5 alert types:
1. Long Signal → Triggers when buy conditions met
2. Short Signal → Triggers when sell conditions met

## Core Concept
```
PRIOR CLOSE = Yesterday's closing price = The "zero line" for today
Above Prior Close = 🟢 GREEN (profitable for yesterday's buyers)
Below Prior Close = 🔴 RED (losing for yesterday's buyers)
```

## The Two Key Moves
### 🟢 Red to Green (R2G)
```
OPEN: Below prior close (RED)
↓
CROSS: Price moves above prior close
↓
RESULT: Now GREEN - Bullish signal
```
**Why it matters:**
- Bears who shorted get squeezed
- Creates FOMO buying
- Momentum often continues
---
### 🔴 Green to Red (G2R)
```
OPEN: Above prior close (GREEN)
↓
CROSS: Price moves below prior close
↓
RESULT: Now RED - Bearish signal
```
**Why it matters:**
- Longs who bought get trapped
- Triggers stop losses
- Panic selling follows

## Signal Quality
### High Quality R2G ✓
- Opened significantly red (-2% or more)
- Strong volume on cross (2x+)
- First R2G of the day
- Market trending up
- News catalyst present
### Low Quality R2G ✗
- Opened barely red (-0.5%)
- Low volume cross
- Multiple R2G/G2R already today (choppy)
- Fighting market direction
- No clear catalyst
---
## Common Patterns
### Clean R2G (Best)
```
Open red → Steady climb → Cross prior close → Continue higher
```
### Failed R2G (Avoid/Exit)
```
Open red → Cross to green → Immediately fail back to red
```
### Choppy R2G/G2R (Avoid)
```
Multiple crosses back and forth = Indecision, no clear direction
```
---
## First Cross Rule
**The FIRST R2G or G2R of the day is usually the most significant.**
Why?
- Catches traders off guard
- Largest reaction from market
- Sets tone for rest of day
If you miss the first cross, be more selective on subsequent crosses.

## Common Mistakes
❌ **Chasing late R2G**
- If price is already 3-5% green, you missed the move
- Wait for pullback or next setup
❌ **Ignoring volume**
- Low volume R2G often fails
- Always check relative volume
❌ **Fighting the market**
- R2G in a tanking market often fails
- G2R in a ripping market often fails
❌ **No stop loss**
- Failed R2G can reverse hard
- Always have a defined stop
❌ **Overtrading choppy stocks**
- Multiple R2G/G2R = no clear direction
- Skip stocks that keep crossing back and forth
---
## Quick Decision Framework
```
1. Did it open opposite color? (Red for R2G, Green for G2R)
- NO → Lower probability, be cautious
- YES → Continue
2. Is volume confirming? (1.5x+ relative volume)
- NO → Skip or small size
- YES → Continue
3. Is this the first cross of the day?
- YES → Higher probability
- NO → Be more selective
4. Is market direction supportive?
- NO → Skip
- YES → Take the trade
5. Can you define risk? (Clear stop level)
- NO → Skip
- YES → Execute
```
---
## Key Takeaways
1. **Prior close is THE key level** - everyone watches it
2. **First cross matters most** - sets daily tone
3. **Volume confirms** - low volume crosses often fail
4. **Failed crosses reverse hard** - always use stops
5. **Don't overtrade choppy action** - multiple crosses = stay out
