Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.

Supertrend ProSupertrend Pro - Multi-Trend Analysis and Trading Signal Filtering
OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates trend direction based on the Supertrend indicator and integrates dual-trend analysis, upper and lower trend bands, trading signal alerts, moving average filtering, and the EMA 200 bull-bear division line to provide traders with more precise trend identification and trading signals.
It is suitable for trend trading, short-term trading, and swing trading, effectively filtering market noise and improving trade accuracy.
IMPLEMENTATION PRINCIPLES
1. Primary Trend: Uses the Supertrend indicator to calculate major trend direction, suitable for long-term trend assessment.
2. Secondary Trend: Detects short-term trend changes, capturing finer market movements.
3. Upper and Lower Trend Bands: Utilizes ATR (Average True Range) to calculate dynamic trend channels, assisting in trend strength assessment.
4. Trading Signal Alerts: Provides buy/sell signals when trends reverse, with optional moving average filtering to reduce false signals.
5. Moving Average Filtering: Supports multiple MA types, such as EMA, SMA, HMA, McGinley, helping to filter market noise.
6. EMA 200 Bull-Bear Division Line: Combines ATR-based trend buffer zones to distinguish between long-term bull and bear markets, enhancing trend accuracy.
KEY FEATURES
1. Dual-Trend Analysis
• Primary trend is suitable for long-term trend tracking, reducing interference from short-term fluctuations.
• Secondary trend is ideal for short-term trading opportunities, allowing faster identification of market turning points.
• By combining both, traders can follow the major trend direction while using the secondary trend for optimized entry points, improving trade success rates.
2. Upper and Lower Trend Bands
• ATR-based dynamic bands adjust to market volatility, avoiding the limitations of fixed support and resistance levels.
• Trend confirmation: When the price reaches the upper or lower band, traders can determine whether the market is overheated or oversold, aiding trading decisions.
• Combining primary and secondary trend bands provides clearer trend validation, reducing false signals.
3. Trading Signal Alerts
• Automatic buy/sell signal alerts when the trend reverses, eliminating the need for manual trend assessment.
• Moving average filtering improves signal reliability, reducing false signals.
• Supports various signal markers (circles/arrows/labels) to help traders clearly visualize entry points.
4. Moving Average Filtering
• Supports multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, HMA, WMA, McGinley, etc.), adapting to different trading styles.
• Prevents counter-trend trading:
· Long entries only when the price is above the MA filter.
· Short entries only when the price is below the MA filter.
• Customizable MA periods to suit different market conditions and prevent excessive signal noise.
5. Trading Reference Lines
• Short-term trend: HMA 25 serves as an entry reference line. Waiting for MA color changes before placing trades can improve stability.
• Long-term trend: EMA 200 as the bull-bear division line helps traders distinguish between long-term bullish and bearish trends, avoiding counter-trend trades.
• Dynamic buffer adjustment: Uses ATR-based volatility buffers to reduce false signals and enhance trend detection accuracy.
• Color-coded trend identification:
· Aqua (Bull Market): Price is above the buffer zone.
· Fuchsia (Bear Market): Price is below the buffer zone.
· White: Price is within the buffer zone, indicating an unclear market direction.
USAGE GUIDELINES
1. Applicable Markets
• Suitable for stocks, futures, cryptocurrencies, and forex
• Supports short-term trading, trend trading, and swing trading
2. Recommended Timeframes
• Short-term traders can use 5m, 15m, and 1H timeframes, leveraging secondary trend signals for quick market entries.
• Trend traders can use 4H and daily timeframes, relying on primary trend signals to assess major trends.
• Long-term investors can use the EMA 200 bull-bear division line to determine macro trend direction and avoid counter-trend trades.
3. Trading Strategy
• Long Entry:
The primary trend is bullish (Green).
The secondary trend triggers a buy signal (Long).
• Short Entry:
· The primary trend is bearish (Red).
· The secondary trend triggers a sell signal (Short).
• Enable Moving Average Filtering:
· Only enter long trades when the price is above the MA filter.
· Only enter short trades when the price is below the MA filter.
• Use EMA 200 for Market Direction:
· If the price is above EMA 200 + buffer, the market is in a bullish trend → favor long trades.
· If the price is below EMA 200 - buffer, the market is in a bearish trend → favor short trades.
• Market Volatility Considerations:
· Short timeframes (1m, 5m) may produce more noise, reducing signal reliability.
· Higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) provide more stable trend signals but may miss some short-term trade opportunities.
RISK DISCLAIMER
• This indicator calculates trend direction based on historical data and cannot guarantee future market performance. When using this indicator for trading, always combine it with other technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and personal trading experience for comprehensive decision-making.
• Market conditions are uncertain, and trend signals may result in false positives or lag. Traders should avoid over-reliance on indicator signals and implement stop-loss strategies and risk management techniques to reduce potential losses.
• Leverage trading carries high risks and may result in rapid capital loss. If using this indicator in leveraged markets (such as futures, forex, or cryptocurrency derivatives), exercise caution, manage risks properly, and set reasonable stop-loss/take-profit levels to protect funds.
• All trading decisions are the sole responsibility of the trader. The developer is not liable for any trading losses. This indicator is for technical analysis reference only and does not constitute investment advice.
• Before live trading, it is recommended to use a demo account for testing to fully understand how to use the indicator and apply proper risk management strategies.

Conclusion
1. Intro
This is the first multi-asset strategy available on TradingView—a market breadth multi-asset trading strategy with integrated webhooks, backtesting capabilities, and essential strategy components like Take Profit, Stop Loss, Trailing, Hedging, Time & Session Filters, and Alerts.
How It Trades? At the start of each new bar, one asset from a set of eight is selected to go long or short. As long there is available cash and the selected asset meets the minimum criteria.
The selection process works through a voting system, similar to a democracy. Each asset is evaluated using up to five indicators that the user can choose. The asset with the highest overall voting score is picked for the trade. If no asset meets all criteria, no trade is executed, and the cash reserve remains untouched for future opportunities.
How to Set Up This Market Breadth Strategy:
Choose eight assets from the same market (e.g., cryptos or big tech stocks).
Select one to five indicators for the voting system.
Refine the strategy by adjusting Take Profit, Stop Loss, Hedging, Trailing, and Filters.
2. Voting as the included Trade Concept
The world of financial trading is filled with both risks and opportunities, and the key challenge is to identify the right opportunities, manage risks, and do both right on time.
There are countless indicators designed to spot opportunities and filter out risks, but no indicator is perfect—they only work statistically, hitting the right signals more often than the wrong ones.
The goal of this strategy is to increase the accuracy of these Indicators by:
Supervising a larger number of assets
Filtering out less promising opportunities
This is achieved through a voting system that compares indicator values across eight different assets. It doesn't just compare long trades—it also evaluates long vs. short positions to identify the most promising trade.
Why focus on one asset class? While you can randomly select assets from different asset classes, doing so prevents the algorithm from identifying the strongest asset within a single class. Think about, within one asset class there is often a major trend whereby different asset classes has not really such behavior.
And, you don’t necessarily need trading in multiple classes—this algorithm is designed to generate profits in both bullish and bearish markets. So when ever an asset class rise or fall the voting system ensure to jump on the strongest asset. So this focusing on one asset class is an integral part of this strategy. This all leads to more stable and robust trading results compared to handling each asset separately.
3. Included Indicators and Compare-Functions
You can choose from 17 different indicators, each offering different types of signals:
Some provide a directional signal
Some offer a simple on/off signal
Some provide both
Available Indicators: RSI, Stochastic RSI, MFI, Price, Volume, Volume Oscillator, Pressure, Bilson Gann Trend, Confluence, TDI, SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWAP, ZLMA, T3MA
However, these indicators alone do not generate trade signals. To do so, they must be compared with thresholds or other indicators using specific comparison functions.
Example – RSI as a Trade Signal. The RSI provides a value between 0 and 100. A common interpretation is:
RSI over 80 → Signal to go short or exit a long trade
RSI under 20 → Signal to go long or exit a short trade
Here, two comparison functions and two thresholds are used to determine trade signals.
Below is the full set of available comparison functions, where: I represents the indicator’s value and A represents the comparator’s value.
I < A if I smaller A then trade signal
I > A if I bigger A then trade signal
I = A if I equal to A then trade signal
I != A if I not equal to A then trade signal
A <> B if I bigger A and I smaller B then trade signal
A >< B if I smaller A then long trade signal or if I bigger B then short trade signal
Image 1
In Image 1, you can see one of five input sections, where you define an indicator along with its function, comparator, and constants. For our RSI example, we select:
Indicator: RSI
Function: >< (greater/less than)
Comparator: Constant
Constants: A = 20, B = 80
With these settings a go short signal is triggered when RSI crosses above 80. And a go long signal is triggered when RSI crosses below 20.
Relative Strength Indicator: The RSI from the public TradingView library provides a directional trade signal. You can adjust the price source and period length in the indicator settings.
Stochastic Relative Strength Indicator: As above the Stoch RSI offers a trade signal with direction. It is calculated out of the RSI, the stochastic derivation and the SMA from the Tradingview library. You can set the in-going price source and the period length for the RSI, for the Stochastic Derivation and for the SMA as blurring in the Indicator settings section.
Money Flow Indicator: As above the MFI from the public Tradingview library offers a trade signal with direction. You can set the in-going price source and the period length in the Indicator settings section.
Price: The Price as Indicator is as simple as it can be. You can chose Open, High, Low or Close or combinations of them like HLC3 or even you can import an external Indicator. The absolute price or value can later be used to generate a trade signals when certain constant thresholds or other indicators signals are crossed.
Volume: Similar as above the Volume as Indicator offers the average volume as absolute value. You can set the period length for the smoothing and you can chose where it is presented in the base currency $ or is the other. For example the trade pair BTCUSD you can chose to present the value in $ or in BTC.
Volume Oscillator: The Volume Oscillator Indicator offers a value in the range of . Whereby a value close to 0 means that the volume is very low. A value around 1 means the volume is same high as before and Values higher as 1 means the volume is bigger then before. You can set the period length for the smoothing and you can chose where it is presented in the base currency $ or is the other. For example the trade pair BTCUSD you can chose to present the value in $ or in BTC.
Pressure Indicator: The Pressure is an adapted version of LazyBear's script (Squeeze Momentum Indicator) Pressure is a Filter that highlight bars before a bigger price move in any direction. The result are integer numbers between 0 and 4 whereby 0 means no bigger price move excepted, while 4 means huge price move expected. You can set the in-going price source and the period length in the Indicator settings section.
Bilson Gann Trend: The Bilson Gann Trend Indicator is a specific re-implementation of the widely known Bilson Gann Count Algorithm to detect Highs and Lows. On base of the last four Highs and Lows a trend direction can be calculated. It is based on 2 rules to confirm a local pivot candidate. When a local pivot candidate is confirmed, let it be a High then it looks for Lows to confirm. The result range is whereby -1 means down trend, 1 means uptrend and 0 sideways.
Confluence: The Confluence Indicator is a simplified version of Dale Legan's "Confluence" indicator written by Gary Fritz. It uses five SMAs with different periods lengths. Whereby the faster SMA get compared with the (slower) SMA with the next higher period lengths. Is the faster SMA smaller then the slower SMA then -1, otherwise +1. This is done with all SMAs and the final sum range between . Whereby values around 0 means price is going side way, Crossing under 0 means trend change from bull to bear. Is the value>2 means a strong bull trend and <-2 a strong bear trend.
Trades Dynamic Index: The TDI is an adapted version from the "Traders Dynamic Index" of LazyBear. The range of the result is whereby 2 means Top goShort, -2 means Bottom goLong, 0 is neutral, 1 is up trend, -1 is down trend.
Simple Moving Average: The SMA is the one from the Tradingview library. You can compare it with the last close price or any other moving average indicator to indicate up and down trends. You can set the in-going price source and the period length in the Indicator settings section.
Exponential Moving Average: The EMA as above is the one from the Tradingview library. You can compare it with the last close price or any other moving average indicator to indicate up and down trends. You can set the in-going price source and the period length in the Indicator settings section.
Weighted Moving Average: The WMA as above is the one from the Tradingview library. You can compare it with the last close price or any other moving average indicator to indicate up and down trends. You can set the in-going price source and the period length in the Indicator settings section.
Hull Moving Average: HMA as above is the one from the Tradingview library. You can compare it with the last close price or any other moving average indicator to indicate up and down trends. You can set the in-going price source and the period length in the Indicator settings section.
Volume Weighted Average Price: The VWAP as above is the one from the Tradingview library. You can compare it with the last close price or any other moving average indicator to indicate up and down trends. You can set the in-going price source in the Indicator settings section.
Zero Lag Moving Average: The ZLMA by John Ehlers and Ric Way describe in their paper: www.mesasoftware.com
As the other moving averages you can compare it with the last close price or any other moving average indicator to indicate up and down trends. You can set the in-going price source and the period length in the Indicator settings section.
T3 Moving Average: The T3MA is the one from the Tradingview library. You can compare it with the last close price or any other moving average indicator to indicate up and down trends. You can set the in-going price source, the period length and a factor in the Indicator settings section. Keep this factor at 1 and the T3MA swing in the same range as the input. Bigger 1 and it swings over. Factors close to 0 and the T3MA becomes a center line.
All MA's following the price. The function to compare any MA Indicators would be < or > to generate a trade direction. An example follows in the next section.
4. Example and Usage
In this section, you see how to set up the strategy using a simple example. This example was intentionally chosen at random and has not undergone any iterations to refine the trade results.
We use the RSI as the trade signal indicator and apply a filter using a combination of two moving averages (MAs). The faster MA is an EMA, while the slower MA is an SMA. By comparing these two MAs, we determine a trend direction. If the faster MA is above the slower MA the trend is upwards etc. This trend direction can then be used for filtering trades.
The strategy follows these rules:
If the RSI is below 20, a buy signal is generated.
If the RSI is above 80, a sell signal is generated.
However, this RSI trade signal is filtered so that a trade is only given the maximum voting weight if the RSI trade direction aligns with the trend direction determined by the MA filter.
So first, you need to add your chosen assets or simply keep the default ones. In Image 2, you can see one of the eight asset input sections.
Image 2
This strategy offers some general trade settings that apply equally to all assets and some asset-specific settings. This distinction is necessary because some assets have higher volatility than others, requiring asset-specific Take Profit and Stop Loss levels.
Once you have made your selections, proceed to the Indicators and Compare Functions for the voting. Image 3 shows an example of this setup.
Image 3
Later on go to the Indicator specific settings shown in Image 4 to refine the trade results.
Image 4
For refine the trade results take also a look on the result summary table, development of capital plot, on the list of closed and open trades and screener table shown in Image 5.
Image 5
To locate any trade for any asset in the chronological and scroll-able trade list, each trade is marked with a label:
An opening label displaying the trade direction, ticker ID, trade number, invested amount, and remaining cash reserves.
A closing label showing the closing reason, ticker ID, trade number, trade profit (%), trade revenue ($), and updated cash reserves.
Additionally: a green line marks each Take Profit level. An orange line indicates the (trailing) Stop Loss.
The summary table in the bottom-left corner provides insights into how effective the trade strategy is. By analyzing the trade list, you can identify trades that should be avoided.
To find those bad trades on the chart, use the trade number or timestamp. With replay mode, you can go back in time to review a specific trade in detail.
Image 6
In Image 6, you can see an example where replay mode and the start time filter are used to display specific trades within a narrow time range. By identifying a large number of bad trades, you may recognize patterns and formulate conditions to avoid them in the future.
This is the backtesting tool that allows you to develop and refine your trading strategy continuously. With each iteration—from general adjustments to detailed optimizations—you can use these tools to improve your strategy. You can:
Add other indicators with trade signals and direction
Add more indicators signals as filter
Adjust the settings of your indicators to optimize results
Configure key strategy settings, such as Time and Session Filters, Stop Loss, Take Profit, and more
By doing so, you can identify a profitable strategy and its optimal settings.
5. Settings Menu
In the settings menu you will find the following high-lighted sections. Most of the settings have a i mark on their right side. Move over it with the cursor to read specific explanation.
Backtest Results: Here you can decide about visibility of the trade list, of the Screener Table and of the Results Summary. And the colors for bullish, side ways, bearish and no signal. Go above and see Image 5.
Time Filter: You can set a Start time or deactivate it by leave it unhooked. The same with End Time and Duration Days . Duration Days can also count from End time in case you deactivate Start time.
Session Filter: Here, you can chose to activate trading on a weekly basis, specifying which days of the week trading is allowed and which are excluded. Additionally, you can configure trading on a daily basis, setting the start and end times for when trades are permitted. If activated, no new trades will be initiated outside the defined times and sessions.
Trade Logic: Here you can set an extra time frame for all indicators. You can enable Longs or Shorts or both trades.
The min Criteria percentage setting defines the minimum number of voices an asset has to get to be traded. So if you set this to 50% or less also weak winners of the voting get traded while 100% means that the winner of the voting has to get all possible voices.
Additionally, you have the option to delay entry signals. This feature is particularly useful when trade signals exhibit noise and require smoothing.
Enable Trailing Stop and force the strategy to trade only at bar closing. Other-ways the strategy trade intrabar, so when ever a voting present an asset to trade, it will send the alert and the webhooks.
The Hedging is basic as shown in the following Image 7 and serves as a catch if price moves fast in the wrong direction. You can activate a hedging mechanism, which opens a trade in the opposite direction if the price moves x% against the entry price. If both the Stop Loss and Hedging are triggered within the same bar, the hedging action will always take precedence.
Image 6
Indicators to use for Trade Signal Generating: Here you chose the Indicators and their Compare Function for the Voting . Any activated asset will get their indicator valuation which get compared over all assets. The asset with the highest valuation is elected for the trade as long free cash is present and as long the minimum criteria are met.
The Screener Table will show all indicators results of the last bar of all assets. Those indicator values which met the threshold get a background color to high light it. Green for bullish, red for bearish and orange for trade signals without direction. If you chose an Indicator here but without any compare function it will show also their results but with just gray background.
Indicator Settings: here you can setup the indicator specific settings. for deeper insights see 3. Included Indicators and Compare-Functions .
Assets, TP & SL Settings: Asset specific settings. Chose here the TickerID of all Assets you wanna trade. Take Profit 1&2 set the target prices of any trade in relation to the entry price. The Take Profit 1 exit a part of the position defined by the quantity value. Stop Loss set the price to step out when a trade goes the wrong direction.
Invest Settings: Here, you can set the initial amount of cash to start with. The Quantity Percentage determines how much of the available cash is allocated to each trade, while the Fee percentage specifies the trading fee applied to both opening and closing positions.
Webhooks: Here, you configure the License ID and the Comment . This is particularly useful if you plan to use multiple instances of the script, ensuring the webhooks target the correct positions. The Take Profit and Stop Loss values are displayed as prices.

The chart will immediately show the best results of the default Auto mode. You can switch Part's to try to find even better results in the table.
Now you can display any result from the table on the chart by entering its ID in the settings.
Repeat steps 3-4 until you determine which type of Stop Loss you like best. Then set it in the settings instead of Auto mode.
* Example: I flipped through 14 parts before I liked the first result and entered its ID so I could visually evaluate it on the chart.
Then select the stop loss type, choose it in place of Auto mode and repeat steps 3-4 or immediately follow the recommendations of the algorithm.
Now the Genetic Algorithm at the bottom right will prompt you to enter the Parameters you need to search for and select even better results.
Parameters must be entered All at once before they are updated. Enter recommendations strictly in fields with the same names.
Repeat steps 5-6 until there are approximately 10 Part's left or as you like. And after that, easily pour through the remaining Parts and select the best parameters.
━ Example of the finished result.

⭕️ How it Works
Hypothesis of Uniform Distribution of Rare Elements After Mixing.
'This hypothesis states that if an array of N elements contains K valid elements, then after mixing, these valid elements will be approximately uniformly distributed.'
'This means that in a random sample of k elements, the proportion of valid elements should closely match their proportion in the original array, with some random variation.'
'According to the central limit theorem, repeated sampling will result in an average count of valid elements following a normal distribution.'
'This supports the assumption that the valid elements are evenly spread across the array.'
'To test this hypothesis, we can conduct an experiment:'
'Create an array of 1,000,000 elements.'
'Select 1,000 random elements (1%) for validation.'
'Shuffle the array and divide it into groups of 1,000 elements.'
'If the hypothesis holds, each group should contain, on average, 1~ valid element, with minor variations.'
* I'd like to attach more details to My hypothesis but it won't be very relevant here. Since this is a whole separate topic, I will leave the minimum part for understanding the engine.
Practical Application
To apply this hypothesis, I needed a way to generate and thoroughly mix numerous possible combinations. Within Pine, generating over 100,000 combinations presents significant challenges, and storing millions of combinations requires excessive resources.
I developed an efficient mechanism that generates combinations in random order to address these limitations. While conventional methods often produce duplicates or require generating a complete list first, my approach guarantees that the first 10% of possible combinations are both unique and well-distributed. Based on my hypothesis, this sampling is sufficient to determine optimal testing parameters.
Most generators and randomizers fail to accommodate both my hypothesis and Pine's constraints. My solution utilizes a simple Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) for pseudo-randomization, enhanced with prime numbers to increase entropy during generation. I pre-generate the entire parameter range and then apply systematic mixing. This approach, combined with a hybrid combinatorial array-filling technique with linear distribution, delivers excellent generation quality.
My engine can efficiently generate and verify 300 unique combinations per batch. Based on the above, to determine optimal values, only 10-20 Parts need to be manually scrolled through to find the appropriate value or range, eliminating the need for exhaustive testing of millions of parameter combinations.
For the Score statistic I applied all the same, generated a range of Weights, distributed them randomly for each type of statistic to avoid manual distribution.

⭕️ Notes
For attentive users, a little tricks :)
To save time, switch parts every 3 seconds without waiting for it to load. After 10-20 parts, stop and wait for loading. If the pause is correct, you can switch between the rest of the parts without loading, as they will be cached. This used to work without having to wait for a pause, but now it does slower. This will save a lot of time if you are going to do a deeper backtest.
Sometimes you'll get the error “The scripts take too long to execute.”
For a quick fix you just need to switch the TF or Ticker back and forth and most likely everything will load.
The error appears because of problems on the side of the site because the engine is very heavy. It can also appear if you set too long a period for testing in BackWin or use a heavy indicator for testing.
Manual Start - Allow you to Start you Result from any point. Which in turn can help you choose a good stop-stick for your real position.
* It took me half a year from idea to current realization. This seems to be one of the few ways to build something automatic in backtest format and in this particular Pine environment. There are already better projects in other languages, and they are created much easier and faster because there are no limitations except for personal PC. If you see solutions to improve this system I would be glad if you share the code. At the moment I am tired and will continue him not soon.
Also You can use my previosly big Backtest project with more manual settings(updated soon)
Wick Size in USD with 10-Bar AverageWick Size in USD with 10-Bar Average
Version: 1.0
Author: QCodeTrader
🔍 Overview
This indicator converts the price wicks of your candlestick chart into USD values based on ticks, providing both raw and smoothed data via a 10-bar simple moving average. It helps traders visualize the monetary impact of price extremes, making it easier to assess volatility, potential risk, and plan appropriate stop loss levels.
⚙️ Key Features
Tick-Based Calculation:
Converts wick sizes into ticks (using a fixed tick size of 0.01, typical for stocks) and then into USD using a customizable tick value.
10-Bar Moving Average:
Smooths out the wick values over the last 10 bars, giving you a clearer view of average wick behavior.
Bullish/Bearish Visual Cues:
The chart background automatically highlights bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red for quick visual assessment.
Stop Loss Optimization:
The indicator highlights long wick sizes, which can help you set more accurate stop loss levels. Even when the price moves in your favor, long wicks may indicate potential reversals—allowing you to account for this risk when planning your stop losses.
User-Friendly Customization:
Easily adjust the USD value per tick through the settings to tailor the indicator to your specific instrument.
📊 How It Works
Wick Calculation:
The indicator calculates the upper and lower wicks by measuring the distance between the candle’s high/low and its body (open/close).
Conversion to Ticks & USD:
These wick sizes are first converted from price points to ticks (dividing by a fixed tick size of 0.01) and then multiplied by the user-defined tick value to convert the measurement into USD.
Smoothing Data:
A 10-bar simple moving average is computed for both the upper and lower wick values, providing smoothed data that helps identify trends and deviations.
Visual Representation:
Columns display the raw wick sizes in USD.
Lines indicate the 10-bar moving averages.
Background Color shifts between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on candle type.
⚡ How to Use
Add the Indicator:
Apply it to your chart to begin visualizing wick sizes in monetary terms.
Customize Settings:
Adjust the Tick Value in USD in the settings to match your instrument’s tick value.
(Note: The tick size is fixed at 0.01, which is standard for many stocks.)
Optimize Your Stop Loss:
Analyze the raw and averaged wick values to understand volatility. Long wicks—even when the price moves in your favor—may indicate potential reversals. This insight can help you set more accurate stop loss levels to protect your gains.
Analyze:
Use the indicator’s data to gauge market volatility and assess the significance of price movements, aiding in more informed trading decisions.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to understand the impact of extreme price movements in monetary terms, optimize stop loss levels, and effectively manage risk across stocks and other instruments with similar tick structures.

FAQ
Q: Does the screener work on other exchanges besides Binance?
A: No, it's designed specifically for Binance USDT Perpetual Futures pairs. Binance offers the highest liquidity and trading volume in the crypto derivatives market, making it ideal for technical analysis. The extensive range of trading pairs and reliable data streams help ensure more accurate signals and analysis. Using a single high-liquidity exchange also helps avoid inconsistencies that could arise from aggregating data across multiple platforms with varying liquidity levels.
Q: What's the minimum timeframe required?
A: The screener requires a minimum 1D (daily) timeframe. This requirement ensures that the technical analysis has sufficient data points for reliable signal generation. Lower timeframes can produce more noise and false signals, while daily timeframes help filter out market noise and identify stronger trends.
Q: Why are some social metrics showing "NaN"?
A: "NaN" (Not a Number) appears when cryptocurrencies don't have associated LunarCrush data. This typically occurs with newer tokens or those with lower market caps. The technical analysis remains fully functional regardless of social metric availability, as these are complementary data points.
Q: How often are signals updated?
A: Signals update with each new candle on the selected timeframe (1D, 2D, or 1W). For example, on the default 2D setting, signals are recalculated every two days as new candles form. This helps reduce noise while maintaining timely analysis of market conditions.
Q: Can I add spot trading pairs?
A: No, the screener is optimized for Binance USDT perpetual futures pairs for data consistency and analysis purposes. While spot and perpetual prices typically align closely due to arbitrage, using a single data source (Binance) and contract type (USDT perpetual) ensures uniform data quality and analysis across all pairs. This standardization helps maintain reliable technical analysis and signal generation.
Q: How many coins can I add to my custom list?
A: Users can add up to 10 custom symbols to their watchlist. This limit is designed to maintain optimal performance while allowing focused monitoring of specific assets. The custom list complements the predefined categories that cover over 300 pairs.
Q: What determines signal confidence levels?
A: Signal confidence is calculated through a weighted algorithm that considers multiple factors: trend strength (Hull MA, DMI/ADX), momentum indicators (RSI, SRSI), volatility measurements (RVI, ATR, BB), volume analysis (OBV, volume trends), and price action patterns. Higher confidence levels indicate stronger alignment across these factors.
Q: Are signals guaranteed to work?
A: No. Signals are analytical tools based on historical and current market data, not guaranteed predictions. They should be used as one component of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes proper risk management, position sizing, and additional confirmation factors. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Q: Why does the screener need higher timeframes?
A: Higher timeframes (1D minimum) provide several benefits: reduced market noise, more reliable technical signals, better trend identification, and lower likelihood of false signals. They also align better with institutional trading patterns and allow for a more thorough analysis of market conditions across multiple indicators.

Conclusion
1. Intro
This is a rich equipped fork of my previous "Backtest any Indicator v5". And serves as the fitting backtester and trade strategy creation tool for my upcoming ANN Indicators (artificial neural network).
As the previous version this script has no trade signal generating code. The trade signals comes in by the five user settable input slots where the user plug-in external indicators. The final trade siganls go long etc are defined by a algebraic/boolean equation typed in as text in 4 terminals as shown in Image 0 . With this algebraic/boolean equations input the user can setup any trade logic as complex and fast and easy as never seen before here on TradingView.

3. Algebraic/Boolean Equation
This is where the magic happens. Unlike other backtesters that rely on drop-down menus to define trade signal equations—thus limiting the number of input signals and the complexity of logic—this script uses a string interpreter to solve equations. With this, you can develop your trade logic equations and add signals or conditions simply by writing them down in algebraic/boolean form.
The instruction set for this interpreter includes not only external input signals but also several internal values. These include BarTime, BarIndex, Open, High, Low, Close, True Range, Minimal Tick, Volume, and a signal that indicates whether there is an open trade (long, short, or none). You can also reference the values of past bars for all these inputs and, of course, use constant values in your equations. There is a sad limitation: Only one past bar value per equation is practicable. If you use more, errors can occur. It seems to be caused by the pipe line architecture of the parallel computing. In any attempt to solve this issue an older function call result was hand over.
The implemented functions cover a wide range of algebraic and boolean operations. A boolean "true" is represented by all values greater than zero, while "false" is represented by zero or values less than zero.
4. Instruction set for the Algebraic/Boolean Equation
There are functions that accept either two input values or one input value. The general form is (XandY) or (notX), where X and Y can be any input slot, predefined value, constant, or another sub-equation. Functions are always written in lowercase, while input slots and predefined values use uppercase letters.
Each sub-equation must be enclosed in parentheses, e.g., (A+B). Without proper use of parentheses, the interpreter cannot determine which function to calculate first. Negative constants must be expressed by subtracting from zero (e.g., (0-3.14)), so careful attention is required.
Here are some examples that demonstrate both incorrect and correct notations:
incorrect correct
(A+B*C) (A+(B*C))
(A+B+D+E) (A+(B+(D+E)))
(-20>A) ((0-20)>A)
(A*-B) (A*(0-B))
(AnotB) (Aand(notB))
ABS(a-b) (abs(A-B))
The correct usage ensures the interpreter calculates in the intended order.
And here comes the complete Instruction Set:
Addition: (A+B)
Subtraction: (A-B)
Multiplication: (A*B)
Division: (A/B)
Absolut value: (absA)
Power of: (A^B)
Natural Logarithm: (logA)
Lowest value of Low of last x bars: (lotx)
Highest value of High of last x bars: (hotx)

Round to next minimal tick: (mitA)
EMA of A of last 3 bars: (e03A)
EMA of A of last 7 bars: (e07A)
EMA of A of last 10 bars: (e10A)
EMA of A of last 20 bars: (e20A)
EMA of A of last 50 bars: (e50A)
Smaller then: (AB)
Equal to: (A==B)
Unequal to: (A!=B)
And: (AandB)
Or: (AorB)
Exclusive Or: (AxorB)
Not: (notA)
Past bar value: (A ) ,whereby x can be 1,2,3,...,barIndex-1
Bar time: (T)
Bar index: (I)
Opening Price of Bar: (O)
Highest Price of Bar: (H)
Lowest Price of Bar: (L)
Closing Price of Bar: (C)
Min tick value for the current symbol: (K)
Trade Volume: (V)
True Range: (R)
Is Money invested: (M) ,Long position: M=1,
Short position: M=-1,
No position: M=0
Reminder: if you wanna replace A or B above don't forget the parentheses. So if you have (logA) and wanna replace A with D+F so the correct replacement would be (log(D+F)).
In the following there are some examples of popular bar patterns and useful filters:
Doji: ((abs(O-C))<(10*K))and((H-L)>(100*K))
green Hammer: (((H-C)<(5000*K))and(((O-L)/2)>(abs(O-C)))
Up trend: (C>(e10H))
Down trend: (C<(e10L))
cool down 7 bars: (( any buy condition )and((e07(absM))==0))
possible Pivot High: (H==(hot30))and((CC))
possible Pivot Low: (L==(lot30))and((C>H )or(O0)), goShort ((A>0)and((A )<0)), Enter Signal delay=0, Exit Signal delay=0, Alternate Trades=true

6. Usage
First you need to attach some signals from external Indicators. In the example above we use the Stochastic RSI indicator from TradingView. Load the Stochastic RSI indicator to the chart. Then you go to the settings menu of this script, choose in the drop-down menu of Input A the signal .
In case you wanna use a signal which is not in the drop-down menu of Input A do the following:
1) You need to know the name of the boolean (or integer) variable of your indicator which hold the desired signal. Lets say that this boolean variable is called BUY. If this BUY variable is not plotted on the chart you simply add the following code line at the end of your pine script.
For boolean (true/false) BUY variables use this:
plot(BUY ? 1:0,'Your buy condition hold in that variable BUY',display = display.data_window)
And in case your script's BUY variable is an integer or float then use instate the following code line:
plot(BUY ,'Your buy condition hold in that variable BUY',display = display.data_window)
2) Probably the name of this BUY variable in your indicator is not BUY. Simply replace in the code line above the BUY with the name of your script's trade condition variable.
3) Do the same procedure for your SELL variable. Then save your changed Indicator script.
4) Then add the changed Indicator script from step before and this backtester script to the chart ...
5) and go to the settings of it. Choose under "Settings -> Input A " your Indicator. So in the example above choose .
The form is usually: ' : BUY'. Then you see something like Image 1
6) Decide about each trade logic for Go Long and Go Short . In this Example we use for GoLong if "Stoch RSI: K" is smaller then 20. The "Stoch RSI: K" we already loaded it in input A. So we set under Go Long (A<20) and set Enter Signal Delay to 0.
Now we setup Go Short if "Stoch RSI: K" is bigger then 80. So we set under Go Short A>80. Enter Signal Delay is already set.
7) For the Exit conditions you can choose (trailing) Stop loss or Take Profit or Exit by Indicator Signal. What ever comes first triggers the exit. If you like to use an EMA Indicator for the Exit by Indicator just load it in a free input slot B, D, E, F or use the inbuild EMA. For this example we use the inbuild EMA of the last 7 values of close. It is called by the following equation: (e07C). So to exit a long trade when the close price crossunder this EMA you have to type in Exit Long ((e07C)>C). For exit a short trade enter in Exit Short ((e07C)

TradingIQ - Counter Strike IQIntroducing "Counter Strike IQ" by TradingIQ
Counter Strike IQ is an exclusive trading algorithm developed by TradingIQ, designed to trade upside/downside breakouts of varying significance. By integrating artificial intelligence and IQ Technology, Counter Strike IQ analyzes historical and real-time price data to construct a dynamic trading system adaptable to various asset and timeframe combinations.
Philosophy of Counter Strike IQ
Counter Strike IQ operates on a single premise: Support and resistance levels cannot hold forever. At some point either side must break for the underlying asset to exhibit trends; otherwise, prices would be confined to an infinitely narrowing range.
Counter Strike IQ is designed to work straight out of the box. In fact, its simplicity requires just four user settings to manage output, making it incredibly straightforward to manage.
Minimum ATR Profit, Minimum ATR Stop, EMA Filter and EMA Filter Length are the only settings that manage the performance of Counter Strike IQ!
Traders don’t have to spend hours adjusting settings and trying to find what works best - Counter Strike IQ handles this on its own.
Key Features of Counter Strike IQ
Self-Learning Breakout Detection
Employs AI and IQ Technology to identify notable breakouts in real-time.
AI-Generated Trading Signals
Provides breakout trading signals derived from self-learning algorithms.
Comprehensive Trading System
Offers clear entry and exit labels.
Performance Tracking
Records and presents trading performance data, easily accessible for user analysis.
Self-Learning Trading Exits
Counter Strike IQ learns where to exit positions.
Long and Short Trading Capabilities
Supports both long and short positions to trade various market conditions.
Strike Channel
The Strike Channel represents what Counter Strike IQ considers a tradable long opportunity or a tradable short opportunity. The Strike Channel is dynamic and adjusts from chart to chart.
IQ Graph Gradient
Introduces the IQ Graph Gradient, designed to classify extreme values in price on a grand scale.
How It Works
Counter Strike IQ operates on a straightforward heuristic: go long during significant upside price moves that break established resistance levels and go short during significant downside price moves that break established support levels.
IQ Technology, TradingIQ's proprietary AI algorithm, defines what constitutes a “significant price move” and what’s considered a tradable breakout. For Counter Strike IQ, this algorithm evaluates all historical support/resistance breaks and any subsequent breakouts. For instance, the price move following up to a breakout is measured and learned from, including the significance of the identified support/resistance level (how long it’s been active, how far price moved away from it, etc). By analyzing these patterns, Counter Strike IQ adapts to identify and trade similar future breakout sequences.
In simple terms, Counter Strike IQ learns from violations of historical support/resistance levels to identify potential entry points at currently established support/resistance levels. Using this knowledge, it determines the optimal, current support/resistance price level where a breakout has a higher chance of occurring.
For long positions, Counter Strike IQ places a stop-market order at the AI-identified resistance point. If price violates this level a market order will be placed and a long position entered. Of course, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. After the position is entered TP1 is placed (identifiable on the price chart). TP1 has a twofold purpose:
Acts as a legitimate profit target to exit 50% of the position.
Once TP1 is closed over, the initial stop loss is converted to a trailing stop, and the long position remains active so long as price continues to uptrend.
For short positions, Counter Strike IQ places a stop-market order at the AI-identified support point. If price violates this level a market order will be placed and a short position entered. Again, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. Upon entry TP1 is placed (identifiable on the price chart). TP1 has a twofold purpose:
Acts as a legitimate profit target to exit 50% of the position.
Once TP1 is closed over, the initial stop loss is converted to a trailing stop, and the short position remains active so long as price continues to downtrend.
As a trading system, Counter Strike IQ exits TP1 using a limit order, with all stop losses exited as stop market orders.
What Classifies As a Tradable Upside Breakout or Tradable Downside Breakout?
For Counter Strike IQ, tradable price breakouts are not manually set but are instead learned by the system. What qualifies as a significant upside or downside breakout in one market might not hold the same significance in another. Counter Strike IQ continuously analyzes historical and current support/resistance levels, how far price has extended from those levels, the raw-dollar price move leading up to a violation of those levels, their longevity, and more, to determine which future levels have a higher chance of breaking out when retested!
The image above illustrates the Strike Channel and explains the corresponding prices and levels
The green upper line represents the Long Breakout Point.
The pink lower line represents the Short Breakout Point.
Any price between the two deviation points is considered “Acceptable”.
The image above shows a long position being entered after the Upside Breakout Point was reached.
Green arrows indicate that the strategy entered a long position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at TP1, the initial stop loss, or at the trailing stop.
Blue lines indicate the TP1 level for the current trade. Red lines indicate the initial stop loss price.
If price closes above TP1, the initial stop loss will be replaced with a trailing stop. A blue line (similar to the blue line shown for TP1) will trail price and correspond to the trailing stop price of the trade.
The image above shows the trailing stop price, represented by a blue line, used for the long position!
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
The image above shows a short position being entered after the Downside Breakout Point was reached.
Red arrows indicate that the strategy entered a short position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at TP1, the initial stop loss, or at the trailing stop.
Blue lines indicate the TP1 level for the current trade. Red lines indicate the initial stop loss price.
If price closes below TP1, the initial stop loss will be replaced with a trailing stop. A blue line (similar to the blue line shown for TP1) will trail price and correspond to the trailing stop price of the trade.
The image above shows the trailing stop price, represented by a blue line, used for the short position!
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
IQ Gradient Graph
The IQ Gradient Graph provides a macro characterization of extreme prices.
The lower macro extremity of the IQ Gradient Graph is colored green, while the upper macro extremity is colored red.
Minimum Profit Target And Stop Loss
The Minimum ATR Profit Target and Minimum ATR Stop Loss setting control the minimum allowed profit target and stop loss distance. On most timeframes users won’t have to alter these settings; however, on very-low timeframes such as the 1-minute chart, users can increase these values so gross profits exceed commission.
After changing either setting, Counter Strike IQ will retrain on historical data - accounting for the newly defined minimum profit target or stop loss.
AI Direction
The AI Direction setting controls the trade direction Counter Strike IQ is allowed to take.
“Trade Longs” allows for long trades.
“Trade Shorts” allows for short trades.
EMA Filter
The EMA Filter setting controls whether the AI should implement an EMA trading filter. Simply, if the EMA Filter is active, long trades can only initiate if price is trading above the user-defined EMA. Conversely, short trades can only initiate if price is trading below the user-defined EMA.
The image above shows the EMA Filter in action!
Verifying Counter Strike IQ’s Effectiveness
Counter Strike IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for the long strategy and the short strategy it uses. This information can be found in the table located in the top-right corner of your chart showing.
This table shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor.
The image above shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor for Counter Strike IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates a strategy profitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor less than 1 indicates a strategy unprofitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor equal to 1 indicates a strategy did not lose or gain money when trading historical price data.
Using Counter Strike IQ
While Counter Strike IQ is a full-fledged trading system with entries and exits - manual traders can certainly make use of its on chart indications and visualizations.
The hallmark feature of Counter Strike IQ is its ability to signal a breakout near its origin point. Long entries are often signaled near the start of a large upside price move; short entries are often signaled near the start of a large downside price move.
For live analysis, the Strike Channel serves as a valuable tool for identifying breakout points.
The further price moves toward the Upside Breakout Point (green), the stronger the indication that price might breakout to the upside. Conversely, the deeper price reaches toward the Downside Breakout Point (red), the stronger the indication that price might breakout to the downside.
Of course, should buying or selling pressure stall, price may fail to breakout at the identified breakout level. This is a natural consequence of any breakout trading strategy!
With this information at hand, traders can quickly switch between charts and timeframes to identify optimized areas of interest.
TS CalculatorWhat is Trailing Stop?
A trailing stop is a type of stop-loss order that adjusts itself as the price of an asset moves in a favorable direction. It’s designed to lock in profits or limit losses by following the asset’s price movement. Here’s how it works:
How a Trailing Stop Works
Initial Setup: You set a trailing stop at a certain percentage or dollar amount below (for long trades) or above (for short trades) the current market price.
Price Movement: As the price moves in your favor, the trailing stop moves with it, maintaining the set distance.
Locking in Profits: If the price reverses direction by the set amount, the trailing stop triggers a market order to sell (for long trades) or buy (for short trades), locking in your profits or limiting your losses.
Example
Long Trade: If you buy a stock at $100 and set a trailing stop at 10%, the stop-loss order will initially be at $90. If the stock price rises to $120, the trailing stop moves up to $108 (10% below $120). If the price then drops to $108, the trailing stop triggers a sell order.
Short Trade: If you short a stock at $100 and set a trailing stop at 10%, the stop-loss order will initially be at $110. If the stock price falls to $80, the trailing stop moves down to $88 (10% above $80). If the price then rises to $88, the trailing stop triggers a buy order.
Benefits
Automated Risk Management: It helps manage risk without the need to constantly monitor the market.
Profit Protection: It locks in profits as the price moves in your favor.
Flexibility: It adjusts dynamically with the market price, unlike a fixed stop-loss order.
What this script does ?

KillZones + ACD Fisher [TradingFinder] Sessions + Reversal Level🔵 Introduction
🟣 ACD Method
"The Logical Trader" opens with a thorough exploration of the ACD Methodology, which focuses on pinpointing particular price levels associated with the opening range.
This approach enables traders to establish reference points for their trades, using "A" and "C" points as entry markers. Additionally, the book covers the concept of the "Pivot Range" and how integrating it with the ACD method can help maximize position size while minimizing risk.
🟣 Session
The forex market is operational 24 hours a day, five days a week, closing only on Saturdays and Sundays. Typically, traders prefer to concentrate on one specific forex trading session rather than attempting to trade around the clock.
Trading sessions are defined time periods when a particular financial market is active, allowing for the execution of trades.
The most crucial trading sessions within the 24-hour cycle are the Asia, London, and New York sessions, as these are when substantial money flows and liquidity enter the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets earn profits by capitalizing on the difference between their buy/sell prices and the prevailing market prices.
Traders vary in their trading timelines.Some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading, necessitating activity during periods with optimal trading volumes and notable price movements.
Kill zones refer to parts of a session characterized by higher trading volumes and increased price volatility compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Times
The "Asia Session" comprises two parts: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." This session begins at 23:00 and ends at 06:00 UTC. The "Asia KillZone" starts at 23:00 and ends at 03:55 UTC.
The "London Session" includes "Frankfurt" and "London," starting at 07:00 and ending at 14:25 UTC. The "London KillZone" runs from 07:00 to 09:55 UTC.
The "New York" session starts at 14:30 and ends at 19:25 UTC, with the "New York am KillZone" beginning at 14:30 and ending at 22:55 UTC.
🟣 ACD Methodology
The ACD strategy is versatile, applicable to various markets such as stocks, commodities, and forex, providing clear buy and sell signals to set price targets and stop losses.
This strategy operates on the premise that the opening range of trades holds statistical significance daily, suggesting that initial market movements impact the market's behavior throughout the day.
Known as a breakout strategy, the ACD method thrives in volatile or strongly trending markets like crude oil and stocks.
Some key rules for employing the ACD strategy include :
Utilize points A and C as critical reference points, continually monitoring these during trades as they act as entry and exit markers.
Analyze daily and multi-day pivot ranges to understand market trends. Prices above the pivots indicate an upward trend, while prices below signal a downward trend.
In forex trading, the ACD strategy can be implemented using the ACD indicator, a technical tool that gauges the market's supply and demand balance. By evaluating trading volume and price, this indicator assists traders in identifying trend strength and optimal entry and exit points.
To effectively use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying robust trends: The ACD indicator can help pinpoint strong, consistent market trends.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD generates buy and sell signals to optimize trade timing.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is breached, it’s wise to wait briefly to confirm it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned below the "A down" line. It's advisable to backtest this to ensure the best outcomes. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be verified through backtesting.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is breached, it’s prudent to wait briefly to ensure it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned above the "A up" line. Backtesting is recommended to confirm the best results. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be validated through backtesting.
Advantages of Combining Kill Zone and ACD Method in Market Analysis :
Precise Trade Timing : Integrating the Kill Zone strategy with the ACD Method enhances precision in trade entries and exits. The ACD Method identifies key points for trading, while the Kill Zone focuses on high-activity periods, together ensuring optimal timing for trades.
Better Trend Identification : The ACD Method’s pivot ranges help spot market trends, and when combined with the Kill Zone’s emphasis on periods of significant price movement, traders can more effectively identify and follow strong market trends.
Maximized Profits and Minimized Risks : The ACD Method's structured approach to setting price targets and stop losses, coupled with the Kill Zone's high-volume trading periods, helps maximize profit potential while reducing risk.
Robust Risk Management : Combining these methods provides a comprehensive risk management strategy, strategically placing stop losses and protecting capital during volatile periods.
Versatility Across Markets : Both methods are applicable to various markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex, offering flexibility and adaptability in different trading environments.
Enhanced Confidence : Using the combined insights of the Kill Zone and ACD Method, traders gain confidence in their decision-making process, reducing emotional trading and improving consistency.
By merging the Kill Zone’s focus on trading volumes and the ACD Method’s structured breakout strategy, traders benefit from a synergistic approach that enhances precision, trend identification, and risk management across multiple markets.

TradeTale Reversal Alert 🚀This script explains how RSI Oscillator along with Bollinger Bands & Moving Average can be used to catch "Reversal Points".
What is an Oscillator:-
An oscillator is a technical analysis tool that constructs high and low bands between two extreme values and then builds a trend indicator that fluctuates within these bounds. Traders use the trend indicator to discover short-term overbought or oversold conditions. RSI with MA is used along with minor calculations (maths) in this Oscillator for generating Long and Short signals.
RSI:-
RSI is a momentum oscillator which measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI moves up and down (oscillates) between ZERO and 100. Generally RSI above 70 is considered overbought and below 30 is considered oversold. Some traders may use a setting of 20 and 80 for oversold and overbought conditions respectively. Some traders may use a setting of 10 and 90 for oversold and overbought conditions respectively. However this may reduce the number of signals. 10 to 30 is shown as bullish zone and 70 to 90 is shown as bearish zone in this Oscillator.
Calculation:-
There are three basic components in the RSI - Avg Gain, Avg Loss & RS.
Avg Gain = Average of Upward Price Change
Avg Loss = Average of Downward Price Change
RS = (Avg Gain)/(Avg Loss)
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 +RS ))
First Calculation:-
RSI calculation is based on default 14 periods.
Average gain and Average loss are simple 14 period averages.
Average Loss equals the sum of the losses divided by 14 for the first calculation.
Average Gain equals the sum of the Gains divided by 14 for the first calculation.
First Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 periods / 14.
First Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 periods / 14.
The formula uses a positive value for the average loss.
RS values are smoothed after the first calculation.
Second Calculation:-
Subsequent calculations multiply the prior value by 13, add the most recent value, and divide the total by 14.
Average Gain = / 14.
Average Loss = / 14.
if
Average Loss = 0, RSI = 100 (means there were no losses to measure).
Average Gain = 0, RSI = 0 (means there were no gains to measure).
Moving Average (MA):-
A moving average (MA) is used in technical analysis, used to help smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. A rising moving average indicates that the security is in an uptrend, while a declining moving average indicates a downtrend.
Bollinger Bands (BB):–
It is consists of a Moving Average line and two standard deviation lines that are plotted above and below the moving average line. The moving average periods & standard deviation can be adjust according to the preference. Bollinger Bands help traders to identify the volatility and potential price range of security.
Logic of this indicator:-
RSI is an oscillator that fluctuates between zero and 100 which makes it easy to use for many traders. Its easy to identify extremes because RSI is range-bound.
Bollinger Band Upper and Lower Bands are used to identify Overbought & Oversold points Respectively. Price crossover of these Upper & Lower Bands used to calculate Reversal Points.
BB, RSI and MA calculations along with maths is used to generate signals.
Rocket signal in is Long Signal and also exit Short signal. (Bullish Entry/Exit)
Bear signal is Short Signal and also exit Long signal. (Bearish Entry/Exit)
But remember that RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets. (caution)
A new trader need to be cautious because during strong trends in the market/security, RSI may remain in overbought (70 to 90) or oversold (10 to 30) for extended periods.
Also Bollinger Bands here are used to calculate range reversal, So is less trustworthy in trending markets. (caution)
Chart Timeframe:-
This Indicator works on all timeframes.
Traders should set stop loss and take profit levels as per risk reward ratio.
Note:
Don't confuse RSI and relative strength. RSI is changes in the price momentum of a security.
whereas relative strength compares the price performance of two or more securities.
Like other technical indicators, This indicator also is not a holy grail. It can only assist you in building a good strategy. You can only succeed with proper position sizing, risk management and following correct trading Psychology (No overtrade, No greed, No revenge trade etc).
THIS INDICATOR IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE AND PAPER TRADING ONLY. YOU MAY PAPER TRADE TO GAIN CONFIDENCE AND BUILD FURTHER ON THESE. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR BEFORE INVESTING. WE ARE NOT SEBI REGISTERED.
Hope you all like it
happy learning.

Average Loss = / 14.
if
Average Loss = 0, RSI = 100 (means there were no losses to measure).
Average Gain = 0, RSI = 0 (means there were no gains to measure).
Moving Average (MA):-
A moving average (MA) is used in technical analysis, used to help smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. A rising moving average indicates that the security is in an uptrend, while a declining moving average indicates a downtrend.
Logic of this indicator:-
RSI is an oscillator that fluctuates between zero and 100 which makes it easy to use for many traders.
Its easy to identify extremes because RSI is range-bound.
RSI and MA calculations along with maths is used to generate signals.
Rocket signal in white colour is Long Signal and also exit Short signal. (Bullish Entry/Exit)
Scissor signal in orange colour is Short Signal and also exit long signal. (Bearish Entry/Exit)
Green colour band shows bullish momentum & Red colour band shows bearish momentum.
But remember that RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets. (caution)
A new trader need to be cautious because during strong trends in the market/security, RSI may remain in overbought (70 to 90) or oversold (10 to 30) for extended periods.
Chart Timeframe:-
This Oscillator works on all timeframes.
Traders should set stop loss and take profit levels as per risk reward ratio.
Note:
Don't confuse RSI and relative strength. RSI is changes in the price momentum of a security.
whereas relative strength compares the price performance of two or more securities.
Like other technical indicators, This Oscillator also is not a holy grail. It can only assist you in building a good strategy. You can only succeed with proper position sizing, risk management and following correct trading Psychology (No overtrade, No greed, No revenge trade etc).
THIS OSCILLATOR IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE AND PAPER TRADING ONLY. YOU MAY PAPER TRADE TO GAIN CONFIDENCE AND BUILD FURTHER ON THESE. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR BEFORE INVESTING. WE ARE NOT SEBI REGISTERED.

RSI 11 IndicatorThis script explains how RSI can be used to catch market moves in trend, reversal or sideways market.
What is RSI indicator:-
RSI is a momentum oscillator which measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI moves up and down (oscillates) between ZERO and 100. Generally RSI above 70 is considered overbought and below 30 is considered oversold. Some traders may use a setting of 20 and 80 for oversold and overbought conditions respectively. However this may reduce the number of signals. You can also use RSI to identify divergences, strength, reversals, general trend etc.
Calculation:-
There are three basic components in the RSI - Avg Gain, Avg Loss & RS.
Avg Gain = Average of Upward Price Change
Avg Loss = Average of Downward Price Change
RS = (Avg Gain)/(Avg Loss)
RSI = 100 – (100 / (1 +RS ))
First Calculation:-
RSI calculation is based on default 14 periods.
Average gain and Average loss are simple 14 period averages.
Average Loss equals the sum of the losses divided by 14 for the first calculation.
Average Gain equals the sum of the Gains divided by 14 for the first calculation.
First Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 periods / 14.
First Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 periods / 14.
The formula uses a positive value for the average loss.
RS values are smoothed after the first calculation.
Second Calculation:-
Subsequent calculations multiply the prior value by 13, add the most recent value, and divide the total by 14.
Average Gain = / 14.
Average Loss = / 14.
if
Average Loss = 0, RSI = 100 (means there were no losses to measure).
Average Gain = 0, RSI = 0 (means there were no gains to measure).
Logic of this indicator:-
RSI is an oscillator that fluctuates between zero and 100 which makes it easy to use for many traders.
Its easy to identify extremes because RSI is range-bound.
But remember that RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets.
A new trader need to be cautious because during strong trends in the market/security, RSI may remain in overbought or oversold for extended periods.
Chart Timeframe:-
RSI indicator works well on all timeframes.
Timeframe depends on which strategy or settings are you using.
Generally a lower timeframe like 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 Hr etc is used for intraday trades or short duration trades
and higher timeframes like 1 day, 1 week, 1 month are used for positional or long term trades.
Please Read the Idea "Mastering RSI with 11 Strategies" to understand this indicator better.
Indicator 1
Basis Strategy of Overbought and Oversold
Usually an asset with RSI reading of 70 or above indicates a bullish and an overbought situation.
overbought can be seen as trading at a higher price than it should.
traders may expect a price correction or trend reversal and sell the security.
but RSI indicator can stay in the overbought for a long time when the stock is in uptrend - This may trap an immature trader.
an Immature trader will enter a sell position when RSI become overbought (70), whereas a mature trader will enter sell position when RSI line crosses below the overbought line (70).
An asset with RSI reading of 30 or below indicates a bearish and an oversold condition.
oversold can be seen as trading at a lower price than it should.
traders may expect a price correction or trend reversal and buy the security.
but RSI indicator can stay in the oversold for a long time when the stock is in downtrend - This may trap an immature trader.
an Immature trader will enter a buy position when RSI become oversold (30), whereas a mature trader will enter buy position when RSI line crosses above the oversold line (30).
Center dotted Mid line is RSI 50.
Chart RSI is shown in yellow colour.
Red shaded area above the red horizontal line shows the stock or security has entered overbought condition. "R" signal in red shows a likely downside reversal, means it may be a likely Selling opportunity.
Green shaded area below the green horizontal line shows the stock or security has entered oversold condition. "R" signal in green shows a likely upside reversal, means it may be a likely Buying opportunity.
Note:-
so its better to wait for reversal signal.
traders may use 20 instead of 30 as oversold level and 80 instead of 70 as overbought level.
new traders may learn to use the indicator as per the prevailing trend to get better results.
false signals may be avoided by using bullish signals in bullish trend and bearish signals in bearish trend.
Indicator 2
RSI Strength Crossing 50
RSI crossing centreline 50 in the below chart showing strength and buy/sell signal.
Centre line is at RSI 50.
if RSI is above 50 its considered bullish trend. (increasing strength)
if RSI is below 50 its considered bearish trend. (decreasing strength)
RSI crossing centre line (50) upside may be a buy signal.
RSI crossing centre line (50) downside may be a sell signal.
"B" signal in green colour shows that RSI is crossing above Mid 50 horizontal line, which may be a likely Buy signal.
"S" signal in red colour shows that RSI is crossing below Mid 50 horizontal line, which may be a likely Sell signal.
Indicator 3
RSI 40 and RSI 60 Support and Resistance
RSI 40 acting as support in the below chart
In an uptrend RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range with 40 as support (buying opportunity at support).
RSI 60 acting as resistance in the below chart
In a downtrend RSI tends to remain in 10 to 60 range with 60 as resistance (selling opportunity at resistance).
"40" signal in green colour shows that RSI is crossing above 40 horizontal line, which may be a likely Support in making and a Buy signal.
"60" signal in red colour shows that RSI is crossing below 60 horizontal line, which may be a likely Resistance in making and a Sell signal.
Note:-
These ranges may change depending on RSI settings and change in the market trend.
Indicator 4
RSI Divergence
Below chart shows a simple example of Bullish Divergence and Bearish Divergence.
An RSI divergence occurs when price moves in the opposite direction of the RSI.
A bullish divergence is when price is falling but RSI is rising. which means RSI making higher lows and price making lower lows (buy signal).
A bearish divergence is when price is rising but RSI is falling. which means RSI making lower high and price making higher highs (sell signal).
Divergences are more strong when appear in an overbought or oversold condition.
There may be many false signals during a strong uptrend or strong downtrend.
In a strong uptrend, RSI may show many false bearish divergences before finally reversing down.
same way in a strong downtrend, RSI may show many false bullish divergences before finally reversing up.
"Bull Div" signal along with divergence line in green colour shows Bullish Divergence, which may be a likely Buy signal.
"Bear Div" signal along with divergence line in red colour shows Bearish Divergence, which may be a likely Sell signal.
Indicator 5
Double Top & Double Bottom
Double Bottom = RSI goes below oversold (30). RSI comes back above 30. RSI falls back again towards 30 and again rise making a Double bottom. its a signal of buying and likely upside reversal.
Double Top = RSI goes above overbought (70). RSI comes back below 70. RSI rises back again towards 70 and again fall making a Double top. its a signal of selling and likely downside reversal.
Double Bottom is shown with Green Dashed line joining two low's of RSI indicating a likely Buy Signal.
Double Top is shown with Red Dashed line joining two High's of RSI indicating a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 6
Trendline Support and Resistance
Below chart shows RSI Trendline Resistance and Support
RSI resistance trendline = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it falls to draw a RSI downtrend line (RSI resistance trendline).
Everytime it takes resistance from a RSI downtrend line its a selling opportunity.
RSI support trendline = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it rises to draw a RSI uptrend line (RSI support trendline).
Everytime it takes support on a RSI uptrend line its a buying opportunity.
RSI Resistance trendline shown in Red colour indicating a likely fall again after rejection from this Red trendline till the time RSI breaks above it to change the trend from Bearsih to Bullish.
RSI support trendline shown in Green colour indicating a likely Rise again after support from this Green trendline till the time RSI breaks below it to change the trend from Bullish to Bearish.
Indicator 7
Trendline Breakout and Breakdown
Below chart shows RSI Trendline Breakout and Breakdown
RSI resistance trendline Breakout = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it falls to draw a RSI downtrend line (RSI resistance trendline).
Whenever it breakout above RSI resistance trendline its a buying opportunity.
RSI support trendline Breakdown = Connect three or more points on the RSI line as it rises to draw a RSI uptrend line (RSI support trendline).
Whenever it breakdown below RSI support trendline its a selling opportunity.
Note:-
Correlate both the RSI and the closing price to ensure proper breakout or breakdown.
Challenge is to correctly identify if a breakout or breakdown is sustainable or its a false signal.
Indicator 8
RSI Crossover same timeframe
RSI with two different RSI length crossing each other on same timeframe.
when lower RSI length crossing above higher RSI length its a buy signal.
when lower RSI length crossing below higher RSI length its a sell signal.
for example RSI with length 7 & length 14 on 15 Minutes timeframe.
Green Cross shows that Fast RSI is crossing above Slow RSI on the same timeframe with different RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Red Cross shows that Fast RSI is crossing below Slow RSI on the same timeframe with different RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 9
RSI Crossover Multi timeframe
RSI with same RSI length but on two different timeframes crossing each.
when lower timeframe RSI crossing above higher timeframe RSI its a buy signal.
when lower timeframe RSI crossing below higher timeframe RSI its a sell signal.
for example RSI with length 14 on 5 Minutes and 1 Hr timeframes.
Green Cross shows that Lower Timeframe RSI is crossing above Higher Timeframe RSI with same RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Red Cross shows that Lower Timeframe RSI is crossing below Higher Timeframe RSI with same RSI length Settings, which means it may be a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 10
RSI EMA/WMA/SMA Crossover
when RSI crossing above EMA/WMA/SMA its a buy signal.
when RSI crossing below EMA/WMA/SMA its a sell signal.
Green Circle shows that RSI is crossing above EMA/WMA/SMA etc, which means it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Red Circle shows that RSI is crossing below EMA/WMA/SMA etc, which means it may be a likely Sell Signal.
Indicator 11
RSI with Bollinger bands
Bollinger bands and RSI complimenting each other and giving a Buy and Sell signal in below chart
if a security price reaches upper band of a Bollinger Band channel and also the RSI is above 70 (overbought), a trader can look for selling opportunities (reversal) (sell).
but in case price reaches upper band of a Bollinger Band channel but RSI is not above 70 (overbought), there may be chance that security remains in an uptrend, so a trader may wait before entering a sell position.
if a security price reaches lower band of a Bollinger Band channel and also the RSI is below 30 (oversold), a trader can look for buying opportunities (reversal) (buy).
but in case price reaches lower band of a Bollinger Band channel but RSI is not below 30 (oversold), there may be chance that security remains in an downtrend, so a trader may wait before entering a buy position.
so bollinger band with RSI can give a double confirmation on a reversal.
Buy Signal = If the RSI is below Green Horizontal line (Oversold zone) and also below Lower Bollinger Band it indicates that an upside reversal may come, which means that it may be a likely Buy Signal.
Sell Signal = If the RSI is above Red Horizontal line (Overbought zone) and also above Upper Bollinger Band it indicates that an Downside reversal may come, which means that it may be a likely Sell Signal.

Limitations of the RSI:-
RSI works best in range bound market and is less trustworthy in trending markets.
So new traders may get trapped in an uptrend or a downtrend if they forget to see the overall long term trend of that security.
Traders should set stop loss and take profit levels as per risk reward ratio.
Note:
Don't confuse RSI and relative strength. RSI is changes in the price momentum of a security.
whereas relative strength compares the price performance of two or more securities.
Like other technical indicators, RSI also is not a holy grail. It can only assist you in building a good strategy. You can only succeed with proper position sizing, risk management and following correct trading Psychology (No overtrade, No greed, No revenge trade etc).

Ichi-Price WaveWelcome to the Ichi-Price Wave. This indicator is designed for day trading options contracts for any ticker, using a number of indicators — Ichimoku Cloud, Volume-Weighted Average Price, Stochastic Relative Strength Index, Exponential Moving Average (13/48) — and calculating how they interact with each other to provide entry and exit signals for both Calls and Puts on normal days. ****Read the Important Information section before opening any positions based on this indicator. (Also *NFA)
The general concept is that you, the trader, are a Surfer 🏄🏾 who rides the best waves in deep water until it gets dangerous.
Emoji storyline: The 🏄🏾 emoji (Call or Put, depending on the color of its Green or Red label, respectively) indicates an upcoming *potential* entry that, for a number of reasons, may be disregarded. (See: Important Information section below). And just as there are no certainties in the stock market itself, the tiered exit signals are ranked by low 🐬, medium 🦈 and high risk 🦑 tolerance. (In other words, it's relatively safe to surf with dolphins around, but there's the off chance they even strike trainers and become aggressive. It's more dangerous to swim with sharks. And on the unlikely, rare occasion you see a literal, giant, mythical, ship destroying Kraken 😬 ... you definitely need to get out of the water.
Surfing for as long as possible reaps the greatest rewards — but risk/reward are to be considered for entries and exits. Exiting every time you see a 🐬 (E1) should secure profits nearly 100% of the time, but they'll be very minimal. Whereas surfing til you reach a Kraken 🦑 (which will not even appear on most Price Wave cycles) would reap the most rewards. (NFA: I recommend considering sharks 🦈 as an exit point for the majority of positions, and perhaps only keeping a few runners open with the hopes of finding that shiny Kraken. (On the non-Emoji chart, the low, medium and high risk exits are named E1, E2 and E3, respectively. Got to the indicator's Settings > Inputs > then toggle EMOJIs ON/OFF)
Boring stuff: The entry 🏄🏾 signals are triggered by multiple conditions that must be all true. For Call entries, one of the necessary conditions is that the RSI's K must be maximum 10 (this can be changed in default). This, along with another condition where current price must be below the VWAP Lower Bound 1, serves as a great reference point showing the stock price is currently uncomfortable where it is and may likely soon snap back closer to the VWAP, perhaps even to the other side due to a pendulum effect.
Important information
Relying on those two factors for setting entry and exit points are great for normal days. (Normal, as in the ticker price bounces within a channel (e.g., ≤3% + or -) that's trending slightly bullish or bearish depending on greater market trend). But there are abnormal days where news catalysts (e.g., CPI data, CEO scandals, unexpected company data release, etc.) trigger FOMO and FUD, ultimately rendering the logic behind most indicators non applicable (e.g., RSI's "buy when oversold"). On the chart, this indicator accounts for this with two measures:
One, you should only "Surf" in the water. That is, there are two bands — Shallow and Deep Water. Any "Surf" emojis where price action is outside of the water should be ignored**. Two, there are additional EMOJIs that show you "Bearish trend" ⛈ and "Bullish trend ☀️. (Story time again: You obviously shouldn't surf in thunder and lightning. But also, surfing in the blistering sun with no clouds in the sky during a heatwave is also dangerous to your health.)
You can use these two measures to disregard the "surfers" suggesting you join them in opening a position in the suggested direction. And surfers followed by Cloud EMOJIs — 🌤️ (Put) or 🌧️ (Call) — can be used as "perfect entry" points. (The clouds represent weather being less extreme and better for surfing).
(**While these should mostly be ignored, these have not been muted because there is the possibility of a very strong turn around if you happen to catch the last one (which is not ideal for risk-averse traders). Use other indicators, such as the MACD and trend lines, to find potential bottoms (or tops) as price action plunges (or soars) due to abnormal news circumstances.)
Entry and exit buffers
At the beginning of each day, most indicators usually are not immediately calibrated correctly due to premarket trading and open market (at least to the degree that the day's sentiment can be best read from them due to the amount of volatility). What I recommend when using this indicator is disregarding signals during the first 15 minutes (or possibly 30 minutes) of market open to get the best results. And also, considering this indicator is meant for day trading (i.e., not holding positions overnight), disregarding ENTRY signals for the last 45 minutes of the trading day could give yourself enough buffer on the back end for exiting comfortably.
RSI entry
Preparing for an entry when you see a surfer is recommended, but actually opening the position when you see a 🌤️ (Put) or 🌧️ (Call) would yield best results and avoid misfires — particularly when those two cloud EMOJIs are signaled when the RSI is overbought and K is at least 95 (Puts), or oversold and K at maximum 5 (Calls). (Story time logic: The cloud eclipsing the Sun means it's cooling off and better for surfing. And the rain cloud no longer having lightning means the "bearish" storm is possibly soon over).
Delta and the Greeks
You should experiment yourself, but keep in mind that this is for capitalizing off of a day's minor price swings (≤3% + or -). Entering a same day expiry contract that's deep OTM is not going to work with this indicator (even if you enter at a surfer 🏄🏾 and exit at a Kraken 🦑) because the price wave from one end to the other won't be enough to compensate for the other Greeks working against you. Use another indicator (or insider knowledge ... Just kidding, that's illegal, don't do that) if you want to buy those kind of contracts.
I personally purchase contracts w/ minimum 80% Implied Volatility and somewhere between 20-40 Delta. Having a nice range for yourself with these factors, depending also on the size of your own portfolio and the risk tolerance you have, will determine how much you're able to capitalize off successful entry and exits.
Tips
• I set stop losses 5-10% depending on the ticker. (e.g., $TSLA's volatility may require SL closer to 10% whereas using it on $SPY, a 5% could suffice). This is in addition to ignoring entry signals that don't meet the aforementioned two requirements (i.e., it's risky to Surf in shallow water, and you shouldn't try to Surf at all outside of the water, ref. Band 2 and outside of Band 2). Remember, this is the stock market — not the casino. We rely on strategy and risk management — not hope.
• It's recommended you use time intervals ≤ 5 min. (I use 1 minute and 5 min)
• Liquidity . Using these signals on a ticker with low liquidity (particularly if you enter on the Ask side), can reduce your profits to 0% or even to a loss even if you have a perfect entry and exit. I always point to SPY as the optimal bid-ask spread, but keep that in mind.
What's with the name "Ichi-Price Wave"?
The "Ichi" gives credit to Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda, whose indicator I used in conjunction with the 13/48 Exponential Moving Averages to create some of the exit signal conditions (e.g., E2🦈). That E2 condition is: Signal the first time the price intersects the Ichimoku conversion line *after* it has entered the VWAP UB/LB channel on one end and has exited on the opposite end). And it's named "Price Wave" because it's a literal price wave, which is where the fun surf narrative comes in. Also, "Price" doubles as me naming it after myself (in a less pretentious way). It's actually convenient that my last name is literally Price. Almost as if I was born for this. Nonetheless, this indicator is far more accurate in spotting directional changes than the free 13/48 cross, which oddly enough, influencers are charging for access. It's free, but the code is protected, for now at least.
Try it out on any ticker and look at how accurately it catches the tops and bottoms (keeping in mind to ignore misfires according to the two measures and also setting ~5-10% stop losses). And of course, use this in conjunction with other indicators. Ignoring all of my other emojis and simply setting surfer 🏄🏾 alerts could serve as additional confirmations for your personal strategy. Or you could simply enter at a surfer 🏄🏾 and exit when it reaches VWAP (or at least increase your Stop Loss to sell at break even if it doesn't reach). That strategy is the most conservative and would secure consistent gains). AND AGAIN, use your stop losses. Either it makes a move or it doesn't. Simply re-enter at a better point if necessary.
TFi Pivot Reversal V3The Pivot Reversal Study uses pivot points to create a support and resistance level; based on this levels the script creates virtual stop-market orders to catch the trend if the price is crossing the pivot lines.
A "Pyramiding" input allows to configure up to 3 entries; the script enters an additional position if the price falls by a configurable percentage amount (long), the reverse to short orders.
A configurable profit-target and stop-loss is being used to exit an open position.
An optional Moving Average filter can be used to enable only long or short positions.
The script renders a status box at the last bar, which shows the current position status and result of the built-in trading simulation results.
It shows the following statistic values:
current position PnL - also background turns green if position is in profit and red if in loss
the percentage distance to the profit-target and stop-loss level
the overall number of wins and losses and the win/loss ratio
the overall profit and loss amount (assuming a quantity of 1)
the net-profit and profit-ratio
For the correct simulation of entry/exit prices, the script contains inputs for a percentage entry and exit slippage.
The study also creates configurable alerts, which follow the exact position of the entry/exit markers. The default alert messages contain trading instruction to execute orders via Alertatron; but the message content can be replaced if configuring the alert in the Tradingview environment.
The script was mainly backtested with crypto-coins, e.g. XBTUSD at 15min timeframe. But the script also works with any other type of security and timeframe.

Backtest PREMIUM Suite+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. 💎 SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS 💎
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on our website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. 🔎 Backtest PREMIUM Suite+ (Plug & Play) 🔎
2.1 Forewords
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM 12 months users. YES! I said indicator, and not strategy or backtest for an excellent reason.
We wanted to make it as generic as possible and allow anyone to connect any indicator of his/her choice in a few clicks only.
This is NOT possible (in TradingView) with a strategy/backtest, but only with an indicator - that's why we worked on recoding the whole backtest logic as an indicator.
The PRO edition does not handle any pyramiding/re-entry - as such enters only once per trend by design. This feature is reserved for our PREMIUM users.
2.2 Concept
This is an indicator that I saw on TradingView and was introduced by the @Pinecoders account on TradingView.
I inspired myself from his Backtest Engine to offer a version more adapted to my vision - The benefits of connecting yourself any indicator to our Backtest engine are amazing and huge.
The concept can't be more simple. Imagine using any indicator and connecting to a backtest system in a single click.
You may connect your Algorithm Builder also to this complete backtesting system in a single click.
What's better between paying thousands for each backtest, or connecting yourself your indicators to your backtest with a click?
That was a rhetoric question, but you can still share your answer with me if you want to :)
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Issue #1 💲 A BACKTEST SYSTEM IS COSTLY 💲
Hiring a developer to code a custom indicator is costly. For a custom backtest it's even more expensive as those scripts are very often way more complicated.
Now imagine, that now that you see your idea live on a chart, you'll realize you'll have to finance another backtest system, as the one you have is not compatible with your new idea.
Solution #1 💲💲 YOU COULD BE SAVING SOME MONEY 💲💲
just because it won't be needed to hire someone else for each of your trading idea.
We will never guarantee your success on the market, but THIS I stand by it any day any hour.
You can connect any indicator or your choice by updating your indicator slightly and connecting it to our Backtest engine. We send the tutorial for doing it to all our customers.
Issue #2 🕔 IT'S TIME-CONSUMING 🕔
Even if someone is doing all the coding for you, it might require days/weeks depending on your overall trading strategy/idea.
Without even counting the time for you to test/validate the work done and all the back-and-forth to fix all the issues.
Solution #2 SAVING TIME MIGHT EQUATES TO SAVING MONEY : 🕔 = 💲💲💲
I wish it could be as easy as going from weeks of coding to "1 single click" :)
I did the heavy-lifting, but you'll have to make the last effort the cross the finishing line. I made it easy for you to play with it and find a configuration that makes sense to YOU and for your strategy/asset/timeframe
Issue #3 ❌ IT'S COMPLICATED ❌
Someone did a backtest code for you, but... you can't update it because you either :
- don't know anything in programming
- ... and don't have time to learn (most of us have a job/family/...life)
- The system you have is way too specific for one of your previous idea, but can't be updated easily for your next trading ideas. I see a lot of traders nodding right now thinking "that's soooooo true !!!!"
Solution #3 🎉 WE MADE IT EASY AND FUN 🎉
Our goal is to externalize the technical stuff that you don't want to take care of - so that you can finally focus on your trading and optimizing your ideas. #bold #statement
In case you're wondering, no we're not reading your mind :), but we're also traders who didn't know how to code before and had to hire external programmers to do the heavy work for us.
You can be sure that most of the frustrations (trading, technical, ...) you have/had, we had them also and that's why we created this backtest indicator.
III. 🔌&🕹️
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Backtest PREMIUM Suite+ (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ to your Backtest PREMIUM Suite+
I mentioned an Algorithm Builder but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it the backtest calculations.
This is not magic, neither is sorcery, but certainly is way beyond the most awesome thing I've ever developed on TradingView (even across all brokers I know). #bolder #statement
TradingView is the best trading platform by far and I'm very grateful to offer my indicators on their website.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. 📊 Make it nice! 📊
Now we're getting right into the fun stuff.
Let's explore briefly each display option (symbolized by an 👁️🗨️ in the Backtest UI) :
- Color Traded Background : Color the chart background is green when in a BUY trade, in red when in a SELL trade. If the Backtest is not in a trade, then the background won't be colored.
- Show Entry/Exit Markers : Displays the entries (Enter Long/Enter Short), and exits (Exit Long/Exit Short) labels.
- Show Entry Level : Displays a blue level line to easily identify the entry price of a trade.
- Show Take Profit Level : Display a purple line to visualize where the Take Profit level is (we'll explain below how to set it up).
- Show In-Trade Stops : Display the stop-loss
V. Backtesting filters
A backtest should have some filters helping the traders testing a few hypotheses. Well.... we included a ton of them.
Once again, thank you @Pinecoders for the help and support you gave me
5.1 ↑ Trade Direction ↓
- Both: The backtest takes the BUY, and SELL trades.
- Longs only/Short only: To be used if the trader wants to take the trades in a unique direction only
5.2 ▲🔷Pyramiding🔷▼
The Backtest PRO allows 1 entry per identified trend
Pyramiding has many names such as Re-entry, secondary trend, Additional entry, ...
Basically, it refers to entering multiple times in the same trend.
Maximum Number of Pyramiding Entries: Literally the max number of re-entries in the same trend.
For instance, if set to 2, then depending on the signals, you'll get at most 2 re-entries in the same trade direction.
- Position Size Multiple of Original Entry Position: Option to add X multiples of the original position size for the re-entries.
Example: Position size multiple = 2, and First entry size is $100. Then, the re-entries position sizes will be ($100 X 2 = $200).
5.3 ▄ █ Position sizing █ ▄
- 1. % of Equity: If selected, the position size used is the input to the right of 1. % of Equity.
Example: The trader starts with a capital of 100K. After a winning trade, your total capital is $103K - for the next trade the position size will be 3% of $103K
- 2. % of Capital: If selected, the position size used is the input to the right of 2. % of Capital.
In other words, the position size will always be the same position size as calculated on the initial capital.
Example: The trader starts with a capital of 100K. After a winning trade, your total capital is $103K - for the next trade the position size will be 5% of $100K. (As 100K is the initial capital used in our dummy example)
5.4⛔ Entry Stops and In-Trade Stops ⛔
We didn't reinvent the wheel here. Any good backtest should offer an entry stop-loss and an in-trade stop-loss.
Giving only here also an example among all the use cases. For instance, the trader sets a stop-loss 2% at the time of entry on your trade, but once the trade moves in the desired direction, the trader might want a trailing stop-loss using a 4% input.
Example: A trader goes LONG on only 1 "ABC" stock evaluated $10 per share.
1) The entry-stop loss will be 2% away so set at $8
2) A candle
3) The trailing stop will activate, and move the stop-loss from the entry stop-loss level (=$8) to $8.32 (=4% move up from $8) - and so on, and so forth for each time the price moves 4% up
The entry and in-trade stop losses can absolutely be identicals. There is no universal rule, and as always you know the drill - all depends on your backtest, and trading strategy as a whole.
5.5 ❌ Hard Exits ❌
⚠️The Backtest PRO Suite offers the hard exit on MACD only.
Our Backtest PREMIUM Suite offers 2 more indicators to invalidate your trades on :
1. MACD
2. Trend Direction
3. RSI divergence (Regular, and Hidden)
The hard exit (or invalidation) is a fundamental part of my trading method.
I explained numerous times on TradingView, our website, and social media channels why I "love" this concept so much, and how it saved my trading account numerous times from getting savagely wrecked by the market.
5.6 💲💲 Take Profit 💲💲
We only included 1 level of Take Profit so far. We'll work on adding at least one more soon.
You can set your Take Profit level based on either a:
1- Fixed value
2 - Percentage value
5.7 📆 Date Range Filtering 📆
If enabled, the backtest only uses the data between the starting and the ending dates of the defined range.
5.8 ⏱️ Hourly Range Filtering ⏱️
Please note that the hours filtering is based on the broker time - not on your chart time.
In other words, if your chart is UTC+1, but you're trading an asset from a US EAST COAST broker, then the timezone used is the UTC-4 timezone.
You'll must be wary of this when filtering and probably do a quick (but simple) calculation before setting up this option.
The easiest would be to set your chart timezone on the broker local timezone (and no math is needed).
Let's add a quick note that the hourly filter is also included in our Algorithm Builders PRO/PREMIUM 12 months. #shameless #self #advertising
5.9 ❗❗ Fees and Slippage ❗❗
Too often completely ignored by many traders, the fees can eat gains out quickly/deepen one's capital faster than expected.
⚠️The fees vary between brokers, and asset traded - it could be recommended to check on your broker page what are the fees for the asset on your chart, and insert that percentage number.
Another cost ignored, even more, is the Slippage.
i.e. think about a Stop-Loss being hit, and we're so confused because we see on the chart that NEVER the price came even close to your SL level, but... it got hit anyway.
Yes! we know how frustrating it is, but that's the game we're playing, and trading should never be about blaming the game, but only blaming the players/traders/ourselves.
Blaming the game constantly is likely to not end with good performance results, but accounting for this "risk", and being able to quantify it is an incredible hedge. #bold #statement #level #10000
5.10 🔔 Alerts 🔔
By design, the alerts aren't available for strategy scripts. But this script is an... indicator so why should we not enjoy all the cards in our hands the fullest.
We enabled the alerts on the:
1. Main BUY/SELL Entry
2. Pyramiding BUY/SELL Entries
3. Exit Signals such as stop-loss, take-profit, hard-exits
You're welcome :)
VI. 📝 Where are the backtest results? 📝
Answer: in the Data Window section of your TradingView
Now the cherry on the cake if we might say so. A backtest is cool, but visualizing results is actually the end goal here.
Our PREMIUM users benefit from way more analytics than the PRO users.
More info available on our website.
The Data Window is dynamic - it means whenever you'll mouseover at a give time on your chart, the data on that panel automatically updates.
Let's assume you're backtesting your idea between Sept 1st, 2019, and Oct 1st, 2019.
If your mouse cursor is located (or hovered) at a candle on Sept 14th, 2019 (data chosen randomly for this example), then the data displayed only includes the results between Sept 1st, and Sept 14th.
More info available on our website with a nice tutorial video. Data window metrics and filters explained on our website
Here's what the data window looks like: imgur.com
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators.
You only will judge and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on your website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play)
2.1 Forewords
This indicator is available only to our PRO 12 months users. YES! I said indicator, and not strategy or backtest for an excellent reason.
We wanted to make it as generic as possible and allow anyone to connect any indicator of his/her choice in a few clicks only.
This is NOT possible (in TradingView) with a strategy/backtest, but only with an indicator - that's why we worked on recoding the whole backtest logic as an indicator.
The PRO edition does not handle any pyramiding/re-entry - as such enters only once per trend by design. This feature is reserved for our PREMIUM users.
2.2 🔎 Concept 🔎
This is an indicator that I saw on TradingView and was introduced by the @Pinecoders account on TradingView.
I inspired myself from his Backtest Engine to offer a version more adapted to my vision - The benefits of connecting yourself any indicator to our Backtest engine are amazing and huge.
The concept can't be more simple. Imagine using any indicator and connecting to a backtest system in a single click.
You may connect your Algorithm Builder also to this complete backtesting system in a single click.
What's better between paying thousands for a backtest, or connecting yourself your indicator to your backtest with a click?
That was a rhetoric question, but you can still share your answer with me if you want to :)
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Issue #1 💲 A BACKTEST SYSTEM IS COSTLY 💲
Hiring a developer to code a custom indicator is costly. For a custom backtest it's even more expensive as those scripts are very often way more complicated.
Now imagine, that now that you see your idea live on a chart, you'll realize you'll have to finance another backtest system, as the one you have is not compatible with your new idea.
Solution #1 💲💲 YOU COULD BE SAVING SOME MONEY 💲💲
just because it won't be needed to hire someone else for each of your trading idea.
We will never guarantee your success on the market, but THIS I stand by it any day any hour.
You can connect any indicator or your choice by updating your indicator slightly and connecting it to our Backtest engine. We send the tutorial for doing it to all our customers.
Issue #2 🕔 IT'S TIME-CONSUMING 🕔
Even if someone is doing all the coding for you, it might require days/weeks depending on your overall trading strategy/idea.
Without even counting the time for you to test/validate the work done and all the back-and-forth to fix all the issues.
Solution #2 SAVING TIME MIGHT EQUATES TO SAVING MONEY : 🕔 = 💲💲💲
I wish it could be as easy as going from weeks of coding to "1 single click" :)
I did the heavy-lifting, but you'll have to make the last effort the cross the finishing line. I made it easy for you to play with it and find a configuration that makes sense to YOU and for your strategy/asset/timeframe
Issue #3 ❌ IT'S COMPLICATED ❌
Someone did a backtest code for you, but... you can't update it because you either :
- don't know anything in programming
- ... and don't have time to learn (most of us have a job/family/...life)
- The system you have is way too specific for one of your previous idea, but can't be updated easily for your next trading ideas. I see a lot of traders nodding right now thinking "that's soooooo true !!!!"
Solution #3 🎉 WE MADE IT EASY AND FUN 🎉
Our goal is to externalize the technical stuff that you don't want to take care of - so that you can finally focus on your trading and optimizing your ideas. #bold #statement
In case you're wondering, no we're not reading your mind :), but we're also traders who didn't know how to code before and had to hire external programmers to do the heavy work for us.
You can be sure that most of the frustrations (trading, technical, ...) you have/had, we had them also and that's why we created this backtest indicator.
III. 🔌&🕹️
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ to your Backtest PRO Suite+

The entry and in-trade stop losses can absolutely be identicals. There is no universal rule, and as always you know the drill - all depends on your backtest, and indicator configurations as a whole.
Last, but not the least, selecting an Entry stop-loss is mandatory, but the in-trade stop-loss is not. Up to you to decide if the in-trade SL is needed for your Backtest strategy.
5.3 ❌ Hard Exits ❌
We included the MACD hard exit indicator in the backtest - as we did also for the Algorithm Builders.
The hard exit (or invalidation) is a fundamental part of my trading method.

Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Plug&Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ Plug&Play
2.1 Concept
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators, and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
The Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.
III. Plug & Play
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ Plug & Play (hence the plug and play name).
Let's assume you have your RSI divergence indicator - which is not part of the Algorithm Builder - but noticed that the convergence of an RSI divergence and a MACD gives strong signals.
I mentioned an RSI divergence, but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
Any indicator that displays visual signals are eligible for this feature .... in other words.... all possible indicators. You're welcome :)
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it in the convergence/confluence calculations.
Hence, whenever the MACD and RSI divergence will be in the same direction for the first time, you'll get a signal. For the first time only because this is a Single trend edition - you may enter multiple times using our Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends editions.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. Why the Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ (Plug&Play) may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
4.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
4.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
4.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
4.4 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
4.5 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
4.6Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
4.7 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL triangles signals
- Trade Manager (SL, TP1, TP2)
- Hard Exits
V. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VI. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VIII. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
