It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
STRATEGY DEFAULT SETTINGS EXPLANATION
max_bars_back=5000 : This is a random number of bars so that the strategy test lasts for one or two years
calc_on_order_fills=false : To wait for the 4h closing is too much. Try to check if it's worth entering a position after closing one. I finally decided not to recheck if it's worth entering after an order is closed. So it is false.
calc_on_every_tick=false
pyramiding=0 : We only want one entry allowed in the same direction. And we don't want the order to scale by error.
initial_capital=1000 : These are 1000 USDT. By using 1% maximum loss per trade and 7% as a default stop loss by using 1000 USDT at 12000 USDT per BTC price you would entry with around 142 USDT which are converted into: 0.010 BTC . The maximum number of decimal for contracts on this BTCUSDT market is 3 decimals. E.g. the minimum might be: 0.001 BTC . So, this minimal 1000 amount ensures us not to entry with less than 0.001 entries which might have happened when using 100 USDT as an initial capital.
slippage=1 : Binance BTCUSDT mintick is: 0.01. Binance slippage: 0.1 % (Let's assume). TV has an integer slippage. It does not have a percentage based slippage. If we assume a 1000 initial capital, the recommended equity is 142 which at 11996 USDT per BTC price means: 0.011 BTC. The 0.1% slippage of: 0.011 BTC would be: 0.000011 . This is way smaller than the mintick. So our slippage is going to be 1. E.g. 1 (slippage) * 0.01 (mintick)
commission_type=strategy.commission.percent and commission_value=0.1 : According to: binance . com / en / fee / schedule in VIP 0 level both maker and taker fees are: 0.1 %.
BACKGROUND
Jaime Merino is a well known Youtuber focused on crypto trading
His channel TradingLatino
features monday to friday videos where he explains his strategy.
JAIME MERINO STANCE ON BOTS
Jaime Merino stance on bots (taken from memory out of a 2020 June video from him):
'~
You know. They can program you a bot and it might work.
But, there are some special situations that the bot would not be able to handle.
And, I, as a human, I would handle it. And the bot wouldn't do it.
~'
My long term target with this strategy script is add as many
special situations as I can to the script
so that it can match Jaime Merino behaviour even in non normal circumstances.
My alternate target is learn Pine script
and enjoy programming with it.
WARNING
This script might be bigger than other TradingView scripts.
However, please, do not be confused because the current status is beta.
This script has not been tested with real money.
This is NOT an official strategy from Jaime Merino.
This is NOT an official strategy from TradingLatino . net .
HOW IT WORKS
It basically uses ADX slope and LazyBear's Squeeze Momentum Indicator
to make its buy and sell decisions.
Fast paced EMA being bigger than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going long.
Fast paced EMA being smaller than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going short.
It finally add many substrats that TradingLatino uses.

____ SETTINGS - Volume Profile
Lowest and highest VPoC from last three days
is used to know if an entry has a support
VPVR of last 100 4h bars
is also taken into account
(VP) Use number of bars (not VP timeframe): Uses 'Number of bars {100}' setting instead of 'Volume Profile timeframe' setting for calculating session VPoC
(VP) Show tick difference from current price {False}: BETA . Might be useful for actions some day.
(VP) Number of bars {100}: If 'Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' is turned on this setting is used to calculate session VPoC.
(VP) Volume Profile timeframe {1 day}: If 'Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' is turned off this setting is used to calculate session VPoC.
(VP) Row width multiplier {0.6}: Adjust how the extra Volume Profile bars are shown in the chart.
(VP) Resistances prices number of decimal digits : Round Volume Profile bars label numbers so that they don't have so many decimals.
(VP) Number of bars for bottom VPOC {18}: 18 bars equals 3 days in suggested timeframe of 4 hours. It's used to calculate lowest session VPoC from previous three days. It's also used as a top VPOC for sells.
(VP) Ignore VPOC bottom advice on long {False}: If turned on it ignores bottom VPOC (or top VPOC on sells) when evaluating if a buy entry is worth it.
(VP) Number of bars for VPVR VPOC {100}: Number of bars to calculate the VPVR VPoC. We use 100 as Jaime once used. When the price bounces back to the EMA55 it might just bounce to this VPVR VPoC if its price it's lower than the EMA55 (Sells have inverse algorithm).
____ SETTINGS - ADX Slope
ADX Slope
help us to understand if ADX
has a positive slope, negative slope
or it is rather still.

The maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are taken into account. ' Somewhat safe compound ': Calculations are done with initial capital (1000) or a higher capital if it increases. The maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are taken into account. ' Unsafe compound ': In each order all the current capital is gambled and only the default stop loss per order is taken into account. That means that the maximum losses per trade/day/week/month are not taken into account. Default : 'Somewhat safe compound'.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per trade % {1.0}.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per day % {6.0}.
(RISKM) Maximum loss per week % {8.0}.

EXTRA 3 - VOLUME PROFILE indicator
WARNING: This indicator works not on current bar but on previous bar. So in the worst case it might be VP from 4 hours ago. Don't worry, inside the strategy calculus the correct values are used. It's just that I cannot show the most recent one in the chart.
(VP) Print recent profile {False}: Show Volume Profile indicator
(VP) Avoid label price overlaps {False}: Avoid label prices to overlap on the chart.
EXTRA 4 - ZIGNALY SUPPORT
(ZIG) Zignaly Alert Type {Email}: 'Email', 'Webhook'. ' Email ': Prepare alert_message variable content to be compatible with zignaly expected email content format. ' Webhook ': Prepare alert_message variable content to be compatible with zignaly expected json content format.
EXTRA 5 - DEBUG
(DEBUG) Enable debug on order comments {False}: If set to true it prepares the order message to match the alert_message variable. It makes easier to debug what would have been sent by email or webhook on each of the times an order is triggered.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
BOT MODE: This is the default setting.
PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING: Click on this strategy settings. Properties tab. Make sure Recalculate 'each time the order was run' is turned off.
NEWBIE USER: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) You might want to turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting. Alternatively you can use my alternate realtime study: 'Resistances and supports based on simplified Volume Profile' but, be aware, it might consume one indicator.
ADVANCED USER 1: Turn on the 'Print price is in range {False}' setting and help us to debug this subindicator. Also help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 2: Turn on the all the (SQZDIVER) settings and help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 3: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) Turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting and report any problem with it.
JAIME MERINO: Just use the indicator as it comes by default. It should only show BUY signals, SELL signals and their associated closing signals. From time to time you might want to check 'ADVANCED USER 2' instructions to check that there's actually a divergence. Check also 'ADVANCED USER 1' instructions for your amusement.
EXTRA ADVICE
It's advised that you use this strategy in addition to these two other indicators:
* Squeeze Momentum Indicator
* ADX
so that your chart matches as close as possible to TradingLatino chart.

FEEDBACK
Please check the strategy source code for more detailed information
where, among others, I explain all of the substrats
and if they are implemented or not.
Q1. Did I understand wrong any of the Jaime substrats (which I have implemented)?
Q2. The strategy yields quite profit when we should long (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is higher than EMA55 from 1d timeframe.
Why the strategy yields much less profit when we should short (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is lower than EMA55 from 1d timeframe)?
Any idea if you need to do something else rather than just reverse what Jaime does when longing?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ1. Why are you giving this strategy for free?
TradingLatino and his fellow enthusiasts taught me this strategy. Now I'm giving back to them.
FAQ2. Seriously! Why are you giving this strategy for free?
I'm confident his strategy might be improved a lot. By keeping it to myself I would avoid other people contributions to improve it.
Now that everyone can contribute this is a win-win.
FAQ3. How can I connect this strategy to my Exchange account?
It seems that you can attach alerts to strategies.
You might want to combine it with a paying account which enable Webhook URLs to work.
I don't know how all of this works right now so I cannot give you advice on it.
You will have to do your own research on this subject. But, be careful. Automating trades, if not done properly,
might end on you automating losses.
FAQ4. I have just found that this strategy by default gives more than 3.97% of 'maximum series of losses'. That's unacceptable according to my risk management policy.
You might want to reduce default stop loss setting from 7% to something like 5% till you are ok with the 'maximum series of losses'.
FAQ5. Where can I learn more about your work on this strategy?
Check the source code. You might find unused strategies. Either because there's not a substantial increases on earnings. Or maybe because they have not been implemented yet.
FAQ6. How much leverage is applied in this strategy?
No leverage.
FAQ7. Any difference with original Jaime Merino strategy?
Most of the times Jaime defines an stop loss at the price entry. That's not the case here. The default stop loss is 7% (but, don't be confused it only means losing 1% of your investment thanks to risk management). There's also a trailing take profit that triggers at 2% profit with a 1% trailing.
FAQ8. Why this strategy return is so small?
The strategy should be improved a lot. And, well, backtesting in this platform is not guaranteed to return theoric results comparable to real-life returns. That's why I'm personally forward testing this strategy to verify it.

BV's MACD SIGNAL TESTERHello ladies and gentlemen,
Today, as you may have seen in the title, I have coded a strategy to determine once and for all if MACD could make you money in 2020.
So, at the end of this video, you will know which MACD strategy will bring you the most money.
Spoiler alert: we've hit the 90% WinRAte mark on the Euro New Zealand Dollar chart.
I've seen a lot of videos of people testing different MACD signals, some up to 100 times.
But In my opinion, all traders must rely on statistics to put all the odds on their side and good statistics require a lot more data.
The algorithm I'm showing you tests each signal one by one over a 3 year period and on 28 different graphs.
That way we are sure that we have encountered all possible market behavior.
From phases of congestion to major trends or even the effects of COVID-19
I use the ATR to determine my Stop Loss and Take Profits. The Stop Loss is placed at 1.5 times the ATR, the Take Profit is placed at 1 time the ATR.
If my Take Profit is hit, I take 50% of the profits and let the position run by moving my Stop Loss to Zero.
This way, the position can no longer be a losing position.
If you are not familiar with this practice, I invite you to study the "Scaling out" video from the NoNonsenseForex channel.
BV's Trading Journal.
Directional Movement Index with double exponential moving averagThe Directional system is a trend-following method developed by J. Welles Wilder,
in the mid-1970s. It identifies trends and shows
when a trend is moving fast enough to make it worth following. It helps traders to
profit by taking chunks out of the middle of important trends.
Trading Rules
1. Trade only from the long side when the positive Directional line is above the
negative one. Trade only from the short side when the negative Directional line
is above the positive one. The best time to trade is when the ADX is rising, show-
ing that the dominant group is getting stronger.
2. When ADX declines, it shows that the market is becoming less directional. There
are likely to be many whipsaws. When ADX points down, it is better not to use
a trend-following method.
3. When ADX falls below both Directional lines, it identifies a flat, sleepy mar-
ket. Do not use a trend-following system but get ready to trade, because major
trends emerge from such lulls.
4. The single best signal of the Directional system comes after ADX falls below
both Directional lines. The longer it stays there, the stronger the base for the
next move. When ADX rallies from below both Directional lines, it shows that
the market is waking up from a lull. When ADX rises by four steps
from its lowest point below both Directional lines, it “rings a bell” on a
new trend . It shows that a new bull market or bear market is being
born, depending on what Directional line is on top.
5. When ADX rallies above both Directional lines, it identifies an overheated mar-
ket. When ADX turns down from above both Directional lines, it shows that the
major trend has stumbled. It is a good time to take profits on a directional trade.
If you trade large positions, you definitely want to take partial profits.
This particular version uses DEMA (double exponential moving averages) in attempt to catch moves sooner.
QuantCat Mom Finder Strategy (1H)QuantCat Momentum Finder Strategy
This strategy is designed to be used on the 1 hour time frame, on all x/btc pairs.
The beautiful thing is it plots the take profit, and stoploss for you for each entry- where I would say use the stoploss for sure and feel with water with how the price action is looking when in profit.
In this strategy, I actually implemented my own trading style into building the strategy. Having to replicate my own trading strategy into an algorithm, I can't make it exactly perfect to how I would trade, but what I can do is try and program the parameters that give it the absolute best chance of making a big move with a small drawdown- which replicates part of my momentum trading style. Here I am using RSI, MACD, EMA and trend filtering values to find moments where there has been a momentum change to play the rest of the move. It only picks the best entries.
There is always a 3-4 R/R move on average with with these trades, meaning 1 in 4 only need to hit to be a break even trader- where most of these strategies have about 35% hit rate.
The stoploss is so crucial to minimise any damage from huge unexpected candles, the strategies can just be used for entries as well, you don't have to stick to the exact formula- of the long and short system, but this by itself is profitable.
The system nets positive results on
-ETH/BTC
-LTC/BTC
-XRP/BTC
-ADA/BTC
-NEO/BTC etc.
We also have a free 15M strategy available too.

Renko Strategy Open_CloseSimple Renko strategy, very profitable. Thanks to vacalo69 for the idea.
Rules when the strategy opens order at market as follows:
- Buy when previous brick (-1) was bearish and previous brick (-2) was bearish too and actual brick close is bullish
- Sell when previous brick (-1) was bullish and previous brick (-2) was bullish too and actual brick close is bearish
Rules when the strategy send stop order are the same but this time a stop buy or stop sell is placed (better overall results).
Note that strategy open an order only after that condition is met, at the beginning of next candle, so the actual close is not the actual price.
Only input is the brick size multiplier for stop loss and take profit: SL and TP are placed at (brick size)x(multiplier) Or put it very high if you want startegy to close order on opposite signal.
Adjust brick size considering:
- Strategy works well if there are three or more consecutive bricks of same "color"
- Expected Profit
- Drawdown
- Time on trade
This strategy uses Renko charts with TRADITIONAL bricks, so no repaint.
Study with alerts, MT4 expert advisor and jforex automatic strategy are available at request.

The Oracle: Dip & Top Adaptive Sniper [Hakan Yorganci]█ OVERVIEW
The Oracle: Dip & Top Adaptive Sniper is a precision-focused trend trading strategy designed to solve the biggest problem in swing trading: Timing.
Most trend-following strategies chase price ("FOMO"), buying when the asset is already overextended. The Oracle takes a different approach. It adopts a "Sniper" mentality: it identifies a strong macro trend but patiently waits for a Mean Reversion (pullback) to execute an entry at a discounted price.
By combining the structural strength of Moving Averages (SMA 50/200) with the momentum precision of RSI and the volatility filtering of ADX, this script filters out noise and targets high-probability setups.
█ HOW IT WORKS
This strategy operates on a strictly algorithmic protocol known as "The Yorganci Protocol," which involves three distinct phases: Filter, Target, and Execute.
1. The Macro Filter (Trend Identification)
* SMA 200 Rule: By default, the strategy only scans for buy signals when the price is trading above the 200-period Simple Moving Average. This ensures we are always trading in the direction of the long-term bull market.
* Adaptive Switch: A new feature allows users to toggle the Only Buy Above SMA 200? filter OFF. This enables the strategy to hunt for oversold bounces (dead cat bounces) even during bearish or neutral market structures.
2. The Volatility Filter (ADX Integration)
* Sideways Protection: One of the main weaknesses of moving average strategies is "whipsaw" losses during choppy, ranging markets.
* Solution: The Oracle utilizes the ADX (Average Directional Index). It will BLOCK any trade entry if the ADX is below the threshold (Default: 20). This ensures capital is only deployed when a genuine trend is present.
3. The Sniper Entry (Buying the Dip)
* Instead of buying on breakout strength (e.g., RSI > 60), The Oracle waits for the RSI Moving Average to dip into the "Value Zone" (Default: 45) and cross back up. This technique allows for tighter stops and higher Risk/Reward ratios compared to traditional breakout systems.
█ EXIT STRATEGY
The Oracle employs a dynamic dual-exit mechanism to maximize gains and protect capital:
* Take Profit (The Peak): The strategy monitors RSI heat. When the RSI Moving Average breaches the Overbought Threshold (Default: 75), it signals a "Take Profit", securing gains near the local top before a potential reversal.
* Stop Loss (Trend Invalidated): If the market structure fails and the price closes below the 50-period SMA, the position is immediately closed to prevent deep drawdowns.
█ SETTINGS & CONFIGURATION
* Moving Averages: Fully customizable lengths for Support (SMA 50) and Trend (SMA 200).
* Trend Filter: Checkbox to enable/disable the "Bull Market Only" rule.
* RSI Thresholds:
* Sniper Buy Level: Adjustable (Default: 45). Lower values = Deeper dips, fewer trades.
* Peak Sell Level: Adjustable (Default: 75). Higher values = Longer holds, potentially higher profit.
* ADX Filter: Checkbox to enable/disable volatility filtering.
█ BEST PRACTICES
* Timeframe: Designed primarily for 4H (4-Hour) charts for swing trading. It can also be used on 1H for more frequent signals.
* Assets: Highly effective on trending assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and high-volume Altcoins.
* Risk Warning: This strategy is designed for "Long Only" spot or leverage trading. Always use proper risk management.
█ CREDITS
* Original Concept: Inspired by the foundational work of Murat Besiroglu (@muratkbesiroglu).
* Algorithm Development & Enhancements: Developed by Hakan Yorganci (@hknyrgnc).
* Modifications include: Integration of ADX filters, Mean Reversion entry logic (RSI Dip), and Dynamic Peak Profit taking.
Trendshift [CHE] StrategyTrendshift Strategy — First-Shift Structural Regime Trading
Profitfactor 2,603
Summary
Trendshift Strategy implements a structural regime-shift trading model built around the earliest confirmed change in directional structure. It identifies major swing highs and lows, validates breakouts through optional ATR-based conviction, and reacts only to the first confirmed shift in each direction. After a regime reversal, the strategy constructs a premium and discount band between the breakout candle and the previous opposite swing. This band is used as contextual bias and may optionally inform stop placement and position sizing.
The strategy focuses on clear, interpretable structural events rather than continuous signal generation. By limiting entries to the first valid shift, it reduces false recycles and allows the structural state to stabilize before a new trade occurs. All signals operate on closed-bar logic, and the strategy avoids higher-timeframe calls to stabilize execution behavior.
Motivation: Why this design?
Many structure-based systems repeatedly trigger as price fluctuates around prior highs and lows. This often leads to multiple flips during volatile or choppy conditions. Trendshift Strategy addresses this problem by restricting execution to the first confirmed structural event in each direction. ATR-based filters help differentiate genuine structural breaks from noise, while the contextual band ensures that the breakout is meaningful in relation to recent volatility.
The design aims to represent a minimalistic structural trading framework focused on regime turns rather than continuous trend signaling. This reduces chart noise and clarifies where the market transitions from one regime to another.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference
Typical swing-based structure indicators report every break above or below recent swing points.
Architecture differences
First-shift-only regime logic that blocks repeated signals until direction reverses
ATR-filtered validation to avoid weak or momentum-less breaks
Premium and discount bands derived from breakout structure
Optional band-driven stop placement
Optional band-dependent position-sizing factor
Regime timeout system to neutralize structure after extended inactivity
Persistent-state architecture to prevent re-triggering
Practical effect
Only the earliest actionable structure change is traded
Fewer but higher-quality signals
Premium/discount tint assists contextual evaluation
Stops and sizing can be aligned with structural context rather than arbitrary volatility measures
Improved chart interpretability due to reduced marker frequency
How it works (technical)
The algorithm evaluates symmetric swing points using a fixed bar window. When a swing forms, its value and bar index are stored as persistent state. A structural shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing on the opposite side. If ATR filtering is enabled, the breakout must exceed a volatility-scaled distance to prevent micro-breaks from firing.
Once a valid shift is confirmed, the regime is updated to bullish or bearish. The script records the breakout level, the opposite swing, and derives a band between them. This band is checked for minimum size relative to ATR to avoid unrealistic contexts.
The first shift in a new direction generates both the strategy entry and a visual marker. Additional shifts in the same direction are suppressed until a reversal occurs. If a timeout is enabled, the regime resets after a specified number of bars without structural change, optionally clearing the band.
Stop placement, if enabled, uses either the opposite or same band edge depending on configuration. Position size is computed from account percentage and may optionally scale with the price-span-to-ATR relationship.
Parameter Guide
Market Structure
Swing length (default 5): Controls swing sensitivity. Lower values increase responsiveness.
Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakouts to show momentum relative to ATR. Reduces false shifts.
ATR length (default 14): Volatility estimation for breakout and band validation.
Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Required breakout strength relative to ATR.
Premium/Discount Framework
Enable framework (default true): Activates premium/discount evaluation.
Persist band on timeout (default true): Keeps structural band after timeout.
Min band ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects narrow bands.
Regime timeout bars (default 500): Neutralizes regime after inactivity.
Invert colors (default false): Color scheme toggle.
Visuals
Show zone tint (default true): Background shade in premium or discount region.
Show shift markers (default true): Display first-shift markers.
Execution and Risk
Risk per trade percent (default 1.0): Determines position size as account percentage.
Use band for size (default false): Scales size relative to band width behavior.
Flat on opposite shift (default true): Forces reversal behavior.
Use stop at band (default false): Stop anchored to band edges.
Stop band side: Chooses which band edge is used for stop generation.
Reading & Interpretation
A green background indicates discount conditions within the structural band; red indicates premium conditions. A green triangle below price marks the first bullish structural shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above price marks the first bearish structural shift after a bullish regime.
When stops are active, the opposite band edge typically defines the protective level. Band width relative to ATR indicates how significant a structural change is: wider bands imply stronger volatility structure, while narrow bands may be suppressed by the minimum-size filter.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use first-shift entries as initial regime confirmation. Add higher-timeframe trend filters for additional context.
Swing trading: Combine with simple liquidity or fair-value-gap concepts to refine entries.
Bias mapping: Use higher timeframes for structural regime and lower timeframes for execution within the premium/discount context.
Exit management: When using stops, consider ATR-scaling or multi-stage profit targets. When not using stops, reversals become the primary exit.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
The strategy uses only confirmed swings and closed-bar logic, avoiding intrabar repaint. Pivot-based swings inherently appear after the pivot window completes, which is standard behavior. No higher-timeframe calls are used, preventing HTF-related repaint issues.
Persistent variables track regime and structural levels, minimizing recomputation. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand. The design avoids loops and arrays, keeping performance stable.
Known limitations include limited signal density during consolidations, delayed swing confirmation, and sensitivity to extreme gaps that stretch band logic. ATR filtering mitigates some of these effects but does not eliminate them entirely.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Fewer but stronger entries: Increase swing length or ATR breakout multiplier.
More responsive entries: Reduce swing length to capture earlier shifts.
More active band behavior: Lower the minimum band ATR threshold.
Stricter stop logic: Use the opposite band edge for stop placement.
Volatile markets: Increase ATR length slightly to stabilize behavior.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
Trendshift Strategy is a structural-regime trading engine that evaluates major directional shifts. It is not a complete trading system and does not include take-profit logic or prediction features. It does not attempt to forecast future price movement and should be used alongside broader market structure, volatility context, and disciplined risk management.

Price Channel Strategy (Short Only)Please follow my x account to get more info:@CTF_bule_lotus
1. Core Logic: Price Channel Breakout (Downside)
The strategy uses one structural signal:
Lowest Low of the past 20 bars.
When the market breaks below this 20-bar low, a stop entry is triggered to open a short position.
Key design principles:
No prediction
No attempt to call tops
Pure reaction to market-confirmed downward momentum
This makes the strategy a clean representation of short-term downside inertia.
2. Directional Constraint: Short Only
This version trades only short positions, with no long exposure.
Rationale:
To isolate and study ETH’s microstructure during downside moves
To avoid noise from symmetric long/short signal conflicts
To treat this model as part of a controlled long–short comparative study
By eliminating long trades, the strategy provides clearer insight into bearish breakout behavior.
3. Risk Management: Fixed TP / SL
Immediately after entry, two fixed exit conditions are defined:
Take Profit: +10 price units
Stop Loss: –10 price units
Both values automatically convert into tick units using syminfo.mintick.
This reflects a classic scalping pattern:
Small but frequent profits
Fast stop-outs
High turnover
Sensitivity to short bursts of momentum
Such fixed exits are useful for analyzing whether short-lived selloffs contain exploitable structure.
4. Transaction Costs
For this specific analysis, transaction fees are intentionally excluded.
This allows:
A clearer view of the raw statistical edge
Isolation of pure signal behavior
Direct comparison with fee-inclusive results in prior tests
The fee-free backtest highlights the “theoretical edge” before real-market frictions are applied.
5. Data & Testing Window (2016–2025)
The model is tested on the complete ETH dataset from 2016 to 2025, without subjective filtering:
No removal of black swan events
No skipping flash crashes
No curve-fitting on sub-periods
This ensures the results reflect ETH’s full structural history, both stable and chaotic.
6. Interpretation & Research Value
This strategy is not presented as a predictive or production-ready trading system.
Its value lies in research utility:
Understanding ETH’s short-term downward momentum
Validating breakout-based scalping structures
Generating baseline data for more complex models
Supporting long-only vs. short-only comparative system design
Removing fees helps quantify the signal strength itself, while fee-inclusive tests can later show how much of that edge survives realistic trading conditions.
Morning ORB FVG Trigger✅ Overview
Morning ORB FVG Trigger is a complete intraday trading framework built around:
A Morning Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The first Fair Value Gap (FVG) after that breakout
Strict risk management and position sizing
Optional HTF trend filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Optional Daily ATR filter to avoid extreme days
The script is designed for futures / indices / FX on intraday charts up to 15 minutes and for traders who want a clean, mechanical entry framework with clear risk.
🧠 Core idea
Define a morning opening range (e.g. 09:30–09:45).
Wait for a clean breakout above/below that range.
After the breakout, wait for the first FVG in breakout direction,
confirmed by the next candle (no immediate full reclaim).
Use a chosen stop logic + R:R factor to build risk/reward boxes.
Calculate position size based on your account risk.
(Optional) Only take trades:
In the direction of the HTF EMA trend (D/W/M).
On days where the morning range is within a band of the Daily ATR.
You can also disable all signals/boxes and use the script just as a visual ORB tool.
⏰ 1. ORB / Morning Range
Inputs (Main section)
Morning Range Session
Time window of the opening range in exchange time
Example: 09:30–09:45 for a 15-minute ORB.
You can type custom ranges (e.g. 09:30–09:35 for a 5-minute ORB).
Risk/Reward (TP factor)
Multiplier for the take-profit distance relative to the stop.
2.0 = TP is 2× the stop distance
1.5 = TP is 1.5× the stop distance
Show ORB range
If enabled, draws:
ORB high/low lines
ORB labels (e.g. 15min ORB high / low)
Optional midline
Extend ORB lines to the right (bars)
How many bars to extend the ORB high/low horizontally beyond the ORB itself.
Trade box width (bars)
Horizontal width (in bars) of:
Red risk box (entry–stop)
Green reward box (entry–TP)
Implementation details
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so it stays precise even on 5m/15m charts.
The script only works on intraday timeframes up to 15 minutes.
📦 2. FVG Block
Group: “FVG”
Threshold %
Minimum size of an FVG in % of price.
0 = every FVG
Higher values = only larger gaps
Auto threshold (from volatility)
If enabled, the minimum FVG size is derived from historical volatility
instead of a fixed percentage.
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB
Off (default): the FVG must lie fully outside the ORB.
On: the breakout FVG itself may still overlap the ORB a bit,
as long as it is the first one attached to the breakout move.
Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts
On: full system – FVG detection, entry labels, risk/TP boxes, alerts.
Off: no entries, no risk/TP boxes, no alerts.
You only get the ORB and (optionally) the HTF dashboard, so you can trade your own setups.
Entry mode
Entry mode (Mid / Edge / NextOpen)
Mid – Entry at the midpoint of the FVG.
Edge – Long at the upper FVG edge, short at the lower FVG edge.
NextOpen – No limit order in the gap. Entry is placed at the next bar open after FVG confirmation.
Edge offset (ticks)
Additional offset for Edge entries:
Long:
+ticks = a bit above the FVG (more conservative)
-ticks = deeper into the FVG (more aggressive)
Short:
+ticks = a bit below the FVG
-ticks = deeper into the FVG
FVG detection logic
Uses a LuxAlgo-style 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle 1 and 3).
Only one FVG is taken: the first valid FVG after the ORB breakout in breakup direction.
The FVG candle is the middle bar; the script:
Detects the FVG on the previous bar.
Waits for the current bar to confirm it:
Bullish: current low must stay above the lower FVG boundary
Bearish: current high must stay below the upper FVG boundary
Only then an entry signal is generated.
🛑 3. Stop Logic
Group: “Stop Logic”
Stop mode (PrevBar / Pivot / FVG Candle)
PrevBar – Stop at the low/high of the candle before the FVG
(tight/aggressive).
FVG Candle – Stop at the low/high of the FVG candle itself
(medium).
Pivot – Stop at the most recent swing high/low
using pivotLeft / pivotRight pivots (more conservative).
Ticks (stop buffer)
Offset (in ticks) from the selected stop level.
> 0 = further away (more room, more risk)
< 0 = closer (tighter stop)
Pivot left / Pivot right
Number of candles left/right to define a swing high/low
when using Pivot stop mode.
Typical intraday values: 2–3.
The script also sanity-checks the stop:
if the calculated stop would be invalid (e.g. above entry in a long), it moves it by a minimal distance (2 ticks) to keep a valid risk.
📈 4. HTF Trend Filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Group: “HTF Trend Filter”
Enable HTF trend filter
If enabled, trades are only allowed:
Long when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are above their EMA
Short when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are below their EMA
EMA length (D/W/M)
EMA length for all three higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
This helps focus entries in the direction of the dominant higher-timeframe trend.
📊 5. ATR Filter (Daily)
Group: “ATR Filter (Daily)”
Use daily ATR filter
If enabled, the height of the ORB (ORB high – ORB low) must be within
a band of the Daily ATR to allow any signals.
Daily ATR length
ATR period on the Daily timeframe.
Min ORB size vs ATR
Lower bound:
Example: 0.3 → ORB must be at least 0.3 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no minimum.
Max ORB size vs ATR
Upper bound:
Example: 1.5 → ORB must be ≤ 1.5 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no maximum.
If the ORB is too small (choppy) or too large (exhausted move), no breakout or FVG signal will be generated on that day.
🧭 6. HTF Dashboard & Signal Labels
Group: “HTF Trend Dashboard”
Show HTF dashboard
Draws a small label at the top of the chart showing:
HTF Trend (EMA X)
D: UP/FLAT/DOWN
W: UP/FLAT/DOWN
M: UP/FLAT/DOWN
Dashboard position
Top Right, Top Center, Top Left – places the dashboard at the top.
Over Risk Info – no top dashboard; instead, the HTF trend info is shown as a label near the risk box when a new signal appears.
Lookback (bars) for top anchor
How many bars to use to determine the top price level for dashboard placement.
Show HTF trend above risk box on signal
Only relevant if Dashboard position = Over Risk Info.
When enabled, a small HTF label appears near the risk box for each new trade.
Signal label vertical offset (ticks)
Vertical spacing between risk info label and HTF label.
Minimum spacing HTF/Risk (ticks)
Ensures a minimum vertical distance so the two labels don’t overlap.
HTF signal label X offset (bars)
Horizontal offset (left/right) relative to the risk info label.
⏳ 7. ORB–FVG Filters (Session & Time Window)
Group: “ORB FVG Filter”
Only same session day
If enabled, FVG entries are only allowed on the same calendar day
as the ORB. When the date changes, all state & drawings are reset.
Limit hours after ORB
Enables a time window after the ORB end.
Trading window after ORB (hours)
Length of that window in hours.
Example: 2.0 → FVG signals only in the first 2 hours after ORB end.
💰 8. Risk Management & Position Sizing
Group: “Risk Management”
Calculate position size
If enabled, the script computes suggested mini and micro contract size for you.
Account size
Your trading account size (in account currency).
Risk mode
Percent – risk is a % of account size (Account risk %).
Fixed amount – risk is a fixed dollar amount (Fixed risk ($)).
Account risk %
Risk per trade as a percentage of account size (e.g. 1.0 for 1%).
Fixed risk ($)
Fixed risk per trade in dollars when using Fixed amount mode.
Micro factor (vs mini)
How much a micro contract is worth relative to a mini.
Example:
0.1 → one micro moves 1/10 of one mini.
Risk Info label
For each new trade, a label is shown above the boxes with:
Stop distance in price and $ risk per mini
Max risk allowed for the trade
Suggested mini and micro size
Text like:
Suggested: 2 mini
Suggested: 5 micro
or Suggested: no trade
This makes the script especially useful for prop-firm rules or strict risk discipline.

⚠️ 10. Alerts
Group: “Alerts”
The script defines three alert conditions:
Long entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new long signal appears.
Short entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new short signal appears.
FVG entry (long/short)
Generic alert for any new signal (long or short).
To use them:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Open the Alerts dialog → “Condition”.
Select this script and one of the alert conditions.
Set your preferred expiration and notification settings.
Alerts only fire when Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts is on.
🧩 11. How the trading logic flows (summary)
Build ORB on 1-minute data during the selected session.
Optionally reject the day if ORB is outside the ATR bounds.
Wait for a breakout (close above high or below low), respecting HTF trend filter.
After breakout, look for the first valid FVG in that direction:
Outside the ORB (unless breakout FVG allowed inside)
Confirmed by the next candle (no full reclaim)
Once confirmed:
Compute entry, stop, target.
Draw risk/reward boxes and all labels.
Optionally show HTF signal label over the risk info.
Trigger alerts if enabled.
If you disable FVG signals, only steps 1–3 (plus dashboard) are effectively active.
⚠️ 12. Notes & Disclaimer
Script is intended for intraday trading up to 15-minute timeframes.
All signals are mechanical and do not guarantee profitability.
Always backtest and forward-test on your own data before risking real money.
This script is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
🚀 Quick-start guide
Add the script to your chart
Use an intraday timeframe ≤ 15 minutes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m).
Works best on liquid indices, futures, FX and large-cap stocks.
Set the Morning Range
In “Morning Range Session” choose the exchange’s opening window.
Examples
US index futures (CME): 08:30–08:45 or 08:30–08:35
US stocks (NYSE/Nasdaq): 09:30–09:45 or 09:30–09:35
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so the range stays accurate on higher intraday charts.
Keep the default filters at first
HTF Trend Filter: ON
EMA length = 20
This will only allow trades in the direction of the dominant D/W/M trend.
ATR Filter: OFF (optional; you can enable later once you’re comfortable).
Use the full trade system
In the FVG group leave
“Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts” = ON
Entry mode: Mid
Stop mode: FVG Candle or PrevBar
Risk/Reward: 2.0 as a starting point.
Set your risk
Turn on “Calculate position size”.
Enter your Account size and choose either:
Risk mode = Percent (e.g. 1.0 = 1% per trade), or
Risk mode = Fixed amount (e.g. $250 per trade).
The risk info label will show:
Stop distance in price and $/contract
Max allowed risk

BTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal StrategyBTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal Strategy is a price-action based reversal system that turns your existing “Bullet-Proof Reversal Detector” into a fully backtestable TradingView strategy with built-in risk management. It is designed to catch clean swing reversals using pure market structure, then automatically place stop-loss and take-profit orders based on your preferred risk-reward settings.
## Core concept
The strategy identifies true swing highs and lows using pivots and then waits for a clear market structure shift before entering any trade. It looks for a higher low followed by a break of structure for longs, and a lower high followed by a break of structure for shorts, helping filter out many random spikes and fakeouts. This makes it suitable for traders who prefer clean, rule-based entries grounded in market structure rather than noisy, indicator-heavy setups.
## Entries and exits
- Long trades are triggered after a bullish higher-low plus a confirmed break above the last swing high.
- Short trades are triggered after a bearish lower-high plus a confirmed break below the last swing low.
- Every position is protected with an automatic stop-loss and a calculated take-profit, so each trade has a predefined risk and reward from the moment it is opened.
## Risk management
The strategy lets you control your risk with a configurable risk-reward ratio (RR) and flexible stop-loss options. You can choose between an ATR-based stop (ATR × multiplier) or a fixed percentage stop relative to the entry price. Once the stop distance is known, the take-profit level is automatically derived from your RR value, making trade sizing and evaluation more consistent across different pairs and timeframes.
## Use cases and recommendations
This script is ideal for swing and intraday traders who want to systematically test market-structure reversals on assets like Bitcoin or other volatile instruments. For best results, experiment with different timeframes and ATR/percentage settings, and always validate performance using the Strategy Tester before deploying it on live markets. Remember that no strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, so use proper risk management and adapt settings to your own style and risk tolerance.
Session Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework - TrendPredator OBSession Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework — TrendPredator Open Box
Stacey Burke’s trading approach combines concepts from George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His framework focuses on reading price behaviour across daily templates and identifying how markets move through recurring cycles of expansion, contraction, and reversal. While effective, much of this analysis requires real-time interpretation of session-based behaviour, which can be demanding for traders working on lower intraday timeframes.
The TrendPredator indicators formalize parts of this methodology by introducing mechanical rules for multi-timeframe bias tracking and session structure analysis. They aim to present the key elements of the system—bias, breakouts, fakeouts, and range behaviour—in a consistent and objective way that reduces discretionary interpretation.
The Open Box indicator focuses specifically on the opening behaviour of major trading sessions. It builds on principles found in classical Open Range Breakout (ORB) techniques described by Tony Crabel, where a defined time window around the session open forms a structural reference range. Price behaviour relative to this range—breaking out, failing back inside, or expanding—can highlight developing session bias, potential trap formation, and directional conviction.
This indicator applies these concepts throughout the major equity sessions. It automatically maps the session’s initial range (“Open Box”) and tracks how price interacts with it as liquidity and volatility increase. It also incorporates related structural references such as:
* the first-hour high and low of the futures session
* the exact session open level
* an anchored VWAP starting at the session open
* automated expansion levels projected from the Open Box
In combination, these components provide a unified view of early session activity, including breakout attempts, fakeouts, VWAP reactions, and liquidity targeting. The Open Box offers a structured lens for observing how price transitions through the major sessions (Asia → London → New York) and how these behaviours relate to higher-timeframe bias defined in the broader TrendPredator framework.
Core Features
Open Box (Session Structure)
The indicator defines an initial session range beginning at the selected session open. This “Open Box” represents a fixed time window—commonly the first 30 minutes, or any user-defined duration—that serves as a structural reference for analysing early session behaviour.
The range highlights whether price remains inside the box, breaks out, or rejects the boundaries, providing a consistent foundation for interpreting early directional tendencies and recognising breakout, continuation, or fakeout characteristics.
How it works:
* At the session open, the indicator calculates the high and low over the specified time window.
* This range is plotted as the initial structure of the session.
* Price behaviour at the boundaries can illustrate emerging bias or potential trap formation.
* An optional secondary range (e.g., 15-minute high/low) can be enabled to capture early volatility with additional precision.
Inputs / Options:
* Session specifications (Tokyo, London, New York)
* Open Box start and end times (e.g., equity open + first 30 minutes, or any custom length)
* Open Box colour and label settings
* Formatting options for Open Box high and low lines
* Optional secondary range per session (e.g., 15-minute high/low)
* Forward extension of Open Box high/low lines
* Number of historic Open Boxes to display
Session VWAPs
The indicator plots VWAPs for each major trading session—Asia, London, and New York—anchored to their respective session opens. These session-specific VWAPs assist in tracking how value develops through the day and how price interacts with session-based volume distributions.
How it works:
* At each session open, a VWAP is anchored to the open price.
* The VWAP updates throughout the session as new volume and price data arrive.
* Deviations above or below the VWAP may indicate balance, imbalance, or directional control.
* Viewed together, session VWAPs help identify transitions in value across sessions.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable VWAP per session
* Adjustable anchor and end times (optionally to end of day)
* Line styling and label settings
* Number of historic VWAPs to draw
First Hour High/Low Extensions
The indicator marks the high and low formed during the first hour of each session. These reference points often function as early control levels and provide context for assessing whether the session is establishing bias, consolidating, or exhibiting reversal behaviour.
How it works:
* After the session starts, the indicator records the highest and lowest prices during the first hour.
* These levels are plotted and extended across the session.
* They provide a visual reference for observing reactions, targets, or rejection zones.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable for each session
* Line style, colour, and label visibility
* Number of historic sessions displayed
EQO Levels (Equity Open)
The indicator plots the opening price of each configured session. These “Equity Open” levels represent short-term reference points that can attract price early in the session.
Once the level is revisited after the Open Box has formed, it is automatically cut to avoid clutter. If not revisited, the line remains as an untested reference, similar to a naked point of control.
How it works:
* At session open, the open price is recorded.
* The level is plotted as a local reference.
* If price interacts with the level after the Open Box completes, the line is cut.
* Untested EQOs extend forward until interacted with.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Line style and label settings
* Optional extension into the next day
* Option for cutting vs. hiding on revisit
* Number of historic sessions displayed
OB Range Expansions (Automatic)
Range expansions are calculated from the height of the Open Box. These levels provide structured reference zones for identifying potential continuation or exhaustion areas within a session.
How it works:
* After the Open Box is formed, multiples of the range (e.g., 1×, 2×, 3×) are projected.
* These expansion levels are plotted above and below the range.
* Price reactions near these areas can illustrate continuation, hesitation, or potential reversal.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable per session
* Select number of multiples
* Line style, colour, and label settings
* Extension length into the session
Stacey Burke 12-Candle Window Marker
The indicator can highlight the 12-candle window often referenced in Stacey Burke’s session methodology. This window represents the key active period of each session where breakout attempts, volatility shifts, and reversal signatures often occur.
How it works:
* A configurable window (default 12 candles) is highlighted from each session open.
* This window acts as a guide for observing active session behaviour.
* It remains visible throughout the session for structural context.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Configurable window duration (default: 3 hours)
* Colour and transparency controls
Concept and Integration
The Open Box is built around the same multi-timeframe logic that underpins the broader TrendPredator framework.
While higher-timeframe tools track bias and setups across the H8–D–W–M levels, the Open Box focuses on the H1–M30 domain to define session structure and observe how early intraday behaviour aligns with higher-timeframe conditions.
The indicator integrates with the TrendPredator FO (Breakout, Fakeout & Trend Switch Detector), which highlights microstructure signals on lower timeframes (M15/M5). Together they form a layered workflow:
* Higher timeframes: context, bias, and developing setups
* TrendPredator OB: intraday and intra-session structure
* TrendPredator FO: microstructure confirmation (e.g., FOL/FOH, switches)
This alignment provides a structured way to observe how daily directional context interacts with intraday behaviour.
See the public open source indicator TP FO here (click on it for access):
Practical Application
Before Session Open
* Review previous session Open Box, Open level, and VWAPs
* Assess how higher-timeframe bias aligns with potential intraday continuation or reversal
* Note untested EQO levels or VWAPs that may function as liquidity attractors
During Session Open
* Observe behaviour around the first-hour high/low and higher-timeframe reference levels
* Monitor how the M15 and 30-minute ranges close
* Track reactions relative to the session open level and the session VWAP
After the Open Box completes
* Assess price interaction with Open Box boundaries and first-hour levels
* Use microstructure signals (e.g., FOH/FOL, switches) for potential confirmation
* Refer to expansion levels as reference zones for management or target setting
After Session
* Review how price behaved relative to the Open Box, EQO levels, VWAPs, and expansion zones
* Analyse breakout attempts, fakeouts, and whether intraday structure aligned with the broader daily move
Example Workflow and Trade
1. Higher-timeframe analysis signals a Daily Fakeout Low Continuation (bullish context).
2. The New York session forms an Open Box; price breaks above and holds above the first-hour high.
3. A Fakeout Low + Switch Bar appears on M5 (via FO), after retesting the session VWAP triggering the entry.
4. 1x expansion level serves as reference targets for take profit.
Relation to the TrendPredator Ecosystem
The Open Box is part of the TrendPredator Indicator Family, designed to apply multi-timeframe logic consistently across:
* higher-timeframe context and setups
* intraday and session structure (OB)
* microstructure confirmation (FO)
Together, these modules offer a unified structure for analysing how daily and intraday cycles interact.

Dumb Money Flow - Retail Panic & FOMO# Dumb Money Flow (DMF) - Retail Panic & FOMO
## 🌊 Overview
**Dumb Money Flow (DMF)** is a powerful **contrarian indicator** designed to track the emotional state of the retail "herd." It identifies moments of extreme **Panic** (irrational selling) and **FOMO** (irrational buying) by analyzing on-chain data, volume anomalies, and price velocity.
In crypto markets, retail traders often buy the top (FOMO) and sell the bottom (Panic). This indicator helps you do the opposite: **Buy when the herd is fearful, and Sell when the herd is greedy.**
---
## 🧠 How It Works
The indicator combines multiple data points into a single **Sentiment Index** (0-100), normalized over a 90-day period to ensure it always uses the full range of the chart.
### 1. Panic Index (Bearish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of capitulation and fear. High values contribute to the **Panic Zone**.
* **Exchange Inflows:** Spikes in funds moving to exchanges (preparing to sell).
* **Volume Spikes:** High volume during price drops (panic selling).
* **Price Crash (ROC):** Rapid, emotional price drops over 3 days.
* **Volatility (ATR):** High market nervousness and instability.
### 2. FOMO Index (Bullish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of euphoria and greed. High values contribute to the **FOMO Zone**.
* **Exchange Outflows:** Funds moving to cold storage (HODLing/Greed).
* **Profitable Addresses:** When >90% of holders are in profit, tops often form.
* **Parabolic Rise:** Rapid, unsustainable price increases.
---
## 🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator uses a distinct color scheme to highlight extremes:
* **🟢 Dark Green Zone (> 80): Extreme FOMO**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is euphoric. Risk of a correction is high.
* **Action:** Consider taking profits or looking for short entries.
* **🔴 Dark Burgundy Zone (< 20): Extreme Panic**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is capitulating. Prices may be oversold.
* **Action:** Look for buying opportunities (catching the knife with confirmation).
* **🔵 Light Blue Line:**
* The smoothed moving average of the sentiment, helpful for seeing the trend direction.
---
## 🛠️ How to Use (Trading Strategies)
### 1. Contrarian Reversals (The Primary Strategy)
* **Buy Signal:** Wait for the line to drop deep into the **Burgundy Panic Zone (< 20)** and then start curling up. This indicates that the worst of the selling pressure is over.
* **Sell Signal:** Wait for the line to spike into the **Green FOMO Zone (> 80)** and then start curling down. This suggests buying exhaustion.
### 2. Divergences
* **Bullish Divergence:** Price makes a **Lower Low**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Higher Low** (less panic on the second drop). This is a strong reversal signal.
* **Bearish Divergence:** Price makes a **Higher High**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Lower High** (less FOMO/buying power on the second peak).
### 3. Trend Confirmation (Midline Cross)
* **Crossing 50 Up:** Sentiment is shifting from Fear to Greed (Bullish).
* **Crossing 50 Down:** Sentiment is shifting from Greed to Fear (Bearish).
---
## ⚙️ Settings
* **Data Source:** Defaults to `INTOTHEBLOCK` for on-chain data.
* **Crypto Asset:** Auto-detects BTC/ETH, but can be forced.
* **Normalization Period:** Default 90 days. Determines the "window" for defining what is considered "Extreme" relative to recent history.
* **Weights:** You can customize how much each factor (Volume, Inflows, Price) contributes to the index.

Futures Dollar Profit Target VisualizerFutures Profit Target Visualizer
A simple visual tool that shows exactly where price needs to go to hit your dollar profit target (and stop loss) — ideal for prop traders managing daily drawdown limits.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
Enter your target profit in dollars, and the indicator draws lines showing:
• Green line — Your take profit level
• Red line — Your stop loss level
• Blue line — Your entry (current price)
It auto-detects the futures contract you're viewing (NQ, ES, MNQ, MES, etc.) and calculates the correct point value automatically.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY IT'S USEFUL FOR PROP TRADERS
If your prop firm allows a $500 daily drawdown and you want to risk $100 per trade with a 1:1 R:R, just enter:
• Target Profit: $100
• Risk:Reward: 1
The indicator instantly shows you the exact price levels — no mental math needed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
KEY FEATURES
• Auto-detects contract type (NQ, ES, MNQ, MES, CL, GC, and more)
• Separate inputs for Mini and Micro contract quantities — switch between charts and it automatically uses the right position size
• Supports Long and Short trades
• Adjustable Risk:Reward ratio
• Labels show price, dollar amount, and points to target
• Lines are offset to the right so they don't affect chart auto-scaling
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
Profit Settings:
• Target Profit ($) — Your desired profit in dollars
• Risk:Reward Ratio — e.g., 1 = equal risk/reward, 2 = target is 2x your stop
• Mini Contracts — Position size when viewing mini contracts (NQ, ES, etc.)
• Micro Contracts — Position size when viewing micro contracts (MNQ, MES, etc.)
Trade Settings:
• Trade Direction — Long or Short
• Entry Price — Leave at 0 to use current price, or set a specific entry
Display:
• Show Price Labels — Toggle the price/profit labels
• Show Fill — Toggle the shaded zones between entry and target/stop
• Line Offset — Push lines further right (helps avoid auto-scale issues)
• Line Length — How long the lines extend
• Colors — Customize target, stop, and entry line colors
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SUPPORTED CONTRACTS
Equity Index: NQ, ES, YM, RTY + Micros (MNQ, MES, MYM, M2K)
Energy: CL, MCL, NG
Metals: GC, MGC, SI, SIL
Treasuries: ZB, ZN, ZF, ZT
Currencies: 6E, 6J, 6B, 6A, 6C
Ags: ZC, ZS, ZW
If your contract isn't listed, use "Custom" and enter the tick value manually.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXAMPLE
You trade MNQ with 5 contracts and want to make $100:
• Set Micro Contracts: 5
• Set Target Profit: $100
• MNQ = $2/point × 5 contracts = $10/point
• Indicator shows target 10 points above entry
Switch to NQ with 1 contract:
• Set Mini Contracts: 1
• Same $100 target
• NQ = $20/point × 1 contract = $20/point
• Indicator shows target 5 points above entry
No need to change settings when switching charts — it adjusts automatically.
DEMA ATR Strategy [PrimeAutomation]⯁ OVERVIEW
The DEMA ATR Strategy combines trend-following logic with adaptive volatility filters to identify strong momentum phases and manage trades dynamically.
It uses a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) anchored to ATR volatility bands, creating a self-adjusting trend baseline.
When the adjusted DEMA shifts direction, the strategy enters positions and scales out profit in phases based on ATR-driven targets.
This system adapts to volatility, filters noise, and seeks sustained directional moves.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
DEMA-Volatility Hybrid Filter
Uses Double EMA with ATR expansion/compression logic to form a dynamic trend baseline.

Entries occur when the adjusted DEMA flips trend (bullish crossover or bearish crossunder vs its past value).
Noise Reduction Mechanism
ATR range caps extreme moves and prevents false flips during choppy volatility spikes.
Multi-Level Take Profits
Targets scale out positions at 1×, 2×, and 3× ATR multiples in the trade direction.
Volatility-Adaptive Targets
ATR multiplier ensures profit targets expand/contract based on market conditions.
Single-Direction Exposure
No pyramiding; the strategy flips position only when trend shifts.
Automated Trade Finalization
When all profit targets trigger, the position is fully closed.
⯁ STRATEGY LOGIC
Trend Direction:
DEMA baseline is modified using ATR upper/lower envelopes.
• If the adjusted DEMA rises above previous value → Bullish
• If it falls below previous value → Bearish
Entry Rules:
• Enter Long when bullish shift occurs and no long position exists
• Enter Short when bearish shift occurs and no short position exists
Take Profit Logic:
3 partial exits for each trade based on ATR:
• TP1 = ±1× ATR
• TP2 = ±2× ATR
• TP3 = ±3× ATR
Profit distribution: 30% / 30% / 40%
Exit Conditions:
• Exit when all TPs hit (full scale-out if sum of all TPs 100%)
• Opposite trend signal closes current trade and opens new one
⯁ WHEN TO USE
Trending environments
Medium–high volatility phases
Swing trading and intraday trend plays
Markets that respect momentum continuation (crypto, indices, FX majors)
⯁ CONCLUSION
This strategy blends DEMA trend recognition with ATR-based volatility adaptation to generate cleaner directional entries and structured take-profit exits. It is designed to capture momentum phases while avoiding noise-driven false signals, delivering a disciplined and scalable trend-following approach.
(CRT) MTF Candle Range Theory Model# 🚀 **CASH Pro MTF – Candle Range Theory (CRT) Indicator**
**The Smart Money ICT Setup Detector** 🔥
Hey Traders!
Here is the **ultimate Pine Script indicator** that automatically detects one of the most powerful Smart Money / ICT setups: **Candle Range Theory (CRT)**
---
### What is Candle Range Theory – CRT?
**CRT** is a high-probability price action model based on **liquidity grabs** and **range expansion**.
Price loves to:
1️⃣ Raid the low/high of the previous candle (take stop-losses)
2️⃣ Then reverse and run to the opposite side of the range (or beyond)
When this happens near a **key higher-timeframe level**, magic happens!
### Bullish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF support**
- Previous candle closes near that support
- Next candle **sweeps the low** (grabs liquidity)
- Current candle **closes above the raided low AND breaks the high** of the sweep candle
**Result → Aggressive bullish move expected!**
**Entry:** On close above the high (or on retest + MSS)
**Stop Loss:** Below the swept low
**Take Profit:** CRT High or next liquidity pool
### Bearish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF resistance**
- Previous candle closes near resistance
- Next candle **sweeps the high** (grabs buy stops)
- Current candle **closes below the raided high AND breaks the low** of the sweep candle
**Result → Strong bearish expansion!**
**Entry:** On close below the low
**Stop Loss:** Above the swept high
**Take Profit:** CRT Low or next downside liquidity
This whole setup can form in **just 3 candles**… or sometimes more if price consolidates after the sweep.
---
### Why This Indicator is Special
This is **NOT** a simple 3-candle pattern scanner!
This is a **true CRT + MTF confluence beast** with:
- **Multi-Timeframe Confirmation** (default 4H – fully customizable)
- **Built-in RSI Filter** (avoid fake moves in overbought/oversold)
- **Day-2 High/Low Levels** automatically drawn (the exact CRT range!)
- **Clean “LONG” / “SHORT” labels** right on the candle (no ugly arrows or offset)
- **Background highlight** on signal
- **Fully grouped inputs** – super clean settings panel
---
### Features at a Glance
| Feature | Included |
|--------------------------------|----------|
| Higher Timeframe Confirmation | Yes |
| RSI Overbought/Oversold Filter | Yes |
| Day-2 High/Low Lines + Labels | Yes |
| Clean Text Signals (no offset) | Yes |
| Background Highlight | Yes |
| Fully Customizable Colors & Text| Yes |

---
### How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Wait for a **LONG** or **SHORT** label to appear
3. Confirm price is near a **key HTF level** (order block, FVG, etc.)
4. Enter on close or retest (your choice)
5. Manage risk with the drawn Day-2 levels
**Pro Tip:** Combine with ICT Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Fair Value Gaps for even higher accuracy!
Vital Wave 20-50Simplicity is almost always the most effective approach, and here I’m giving you a trend-following system that exploits the bullish bias of traditional markets and their trending nature, with very basic rules.
Rules (long entries only)
• Market entry: When the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50 (from below)
• Main market exit: When the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50 (from above)
• Fixed Stop Loss: Placed at the price level of the Lower Bollinger Band at the moment the trade is entered.
In my strategy, the primary exit is when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50. However, this crossover can sometimes take a while to occur, and in the meantime the price may have already dropped significantly. The Stop Loss based on the Lower Bollinger Band is designed to limit losses in case the market moves sharply against the position without giving the bearish crossover signal in time. Having two exit conditions makes the strategy much more robust in terms of risk management.
Risk Management:
• Initial capital: $10,000
• Position size: 10% of available capital per trade
• Commissions: 0.1% on traded volume
• Stop Loss: Based on the Lower Bollinger Band
• Take Profit / Exit: When EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50

About the Code
The user can modify:
• EMA periods (20 and 50 by default)
• Bollinger Bands length (20 periods)
• Standard deviation (2.0)
Visualization
• EMA 20: Blue line
• EMA 50: Red line
• Green background when EMA20 > EMA50 (bullish trend)
• Red background when EMA20 < EMA50 (bearish trend)
Important Note:
We can significantly increase the profit factor and overall profitability by risking a fixed percentage per trade instead of a fixed amount. This would prevent losses from fluctuating with changes in volatility.
This could be implemented by reducing position size or adjusting leverage based on the volatility percentage required for each trade, but I’m not sure if this is fully possible in Pine Script. In my other script, “ Golden Cross 50/200 EMA ,” I go deeper into this topic and provide examples.
I hope you enjoy this contribution. Best regards!
Hash Momentum IndicatorHash Momentum Indicator
Overview
The Hash Momentum Indicator provides real-time momentum-based trading signals with visual entry/exit markers and automatic risk management levels. This is the indicator version of the popular Hash Momentum Strategy, designed for traders who want signal alerts without backtesting functionality.
Perfect for: Live trading, automation via alerts, multi-indicator setups, and clean chart visualization.
What Makes This Indicator Special
1. Pure Momentum-Based Signals
Captures price acceleration in real-time - not lagging moving average crossovers. Enters when momentum exceeds a dynamic ATR-based threshold, catching moves as they begin accelerating.
2. Automatic Risk Management Visualization
Every signal automatically displays:
Entry level (white dashed line)
Stop loss level (red line)
Take profit target (green line)
Partial TP levels (dotted green lines)
3. Smart Trade Management
Trade Cooldown: Prevents overtrading by enforcing waiting period between signals
EMA Trend Filter: Only trades with the trend (optional)
Session Filters: Trade only during Tokyo/London/New York sessions (optional)
Weekend Toggle: Avoid low-liquidity weekend periods (optional)
4. Clean Visual Design
🟢 Tiny green dot = Long entry signal
🔴 Tiny red dot = Short entry signal
🔵 Blue X = Long exit
🟠 Orange X = Short exit
No cluttered labels or dashboard - just clean signals
5. Professional Alerts Ready
Set up TradingView alerts for:
Long signals
Short signals
Long exits
Short exits
How It Works
Step 1: Calculate Momentum
Momentum = Current Price - Price
Normalized by standard deviation for consistency
Must exceed ATR × Threshold to trigger
Step 2: Confirm Acceleration
Momentum must be increasing (positive momentum change)
Price must be moving in signal direction
Step 3: Apply Filters
EMA Filter: Long only above EMA, short only below EMA (if enabled)
Session Filter: Check if in allowed trading session (if enabled)
Weekend Filter: Block signals on Sat/Sun (if enabled)
Cooldown: Ensure minimum bars passed since last signal
Step 4: Generate Signal
All conditions met = Entry signal fires
Lines automatically drawn for entry, stop, and targets
Step 5: Exit Detection
Opposite momentum detected = Exit signal
Stop loss or take profit hit = Exit signal
Lines removed from chart
⚙️ Settings Guide
Core Strategy
Momentum Length (Default: 13)
Number of bars for momentum calculation. Higher values = stronger signals but fewer trades.
Aggressive: 10
Balanced: 13
Conservative: 18-24
Momentum Threshold (Default: 2.25)
ATR multiplier for signal generation. Higher values = only trade the biggest momentum moves.
Aggressive: 2.0
Balanced: 2.25
Conservative: 2.5-3.0
Risk:Reward Ratio (Default: 2.5)
Your target profit as a multiple of your risk. With 2.2% stop and 2.5 R:R, your target is 5.5% profit.
Conservative: 3.0+ (need 25% win rate to profit)
Balanced: 2.5 (need 29% win rate to profit)
Aggressive: 2.0 (need 33% win rate to profit)
Hash Momentum Strategy# Hash Momentum Strategy
## 📊 Overview
The **Hash Momentum Strategy** is a professional-grade momentum trading system designed to capture strong directional price movements with precision timing and intelligent risk management. Unlike traditional EMA crossover strategies, this system uses momentum acceleration as its primary signal, resulting in earlier entries and better risk-to-reward ratios.
---
## ⚡ What Makes This Strategy Unique
### 1. Momentum-Based Entry System
Most strategies rely on lagging indicators like moving average crossovers. This strategy captures momentum *acceleration* - entering when price movement is gaining strength, not after the move has already happened.
### 2. Programmable Risk-to-Reward
Set your exact R:R ratio (1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, etc.) and the strategy automatically calculates stop loss and take profit levels. No more guessing or manual calculations.
### 3. Smart Partial Profit Taking
Lock in profits at multiple stages:
- **First TP**: Take 50% off at 2R
- **Second TP**: Take 40% off at 2.5R
- **Final TP**: Let 10% ride to maximum target
This approach locks in gains while letting winners run.
### 4. Dynamic Momentum Threshold
Uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your threshold setting to adapt to market volatility. Volatile markets = higher threshold. Quiet markets = lower threshold.
### 5. Trade Cooldown System
Prevents overtrading and revenge trading by enforcing a cooldown period between trades. Configurable from 1-24 bars.
### 6. Optional Session & Weekend Filters
Filter trades by Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. Optional weekend-off toggle to avoid low-liquidity periods.
---
## 🎯 How It Works
### Signal Generation
**STEP 1: Calculate Momentum**
- Momentum = Current Price - Price
- Check if Momentum > ATR × Threshold Multiplier
- Momentum must be accelerating (positive change in momentum)
**STEP 2: Confirm with EMA Trend Filter**
- Long: Price must be above EMA
- Short: Price must be below EMA
**STEP 3: Check Filters**
- Not in cooldown period
- Valid session (if enabled)
- Not weekend (if enabled)
**STEP 4: ENTRY SIGNAL TRIGGERED**
### Risk Management Example
**Example Long Trade:**
- Entry: $100
- Stop Loss: $97.80 (2.2% risk)
- Risk Amount: $2.20
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: $104.40 (2R = $4.40) → Close 50%
- TP2: $105.50 (2.5R = $5.50) → Close 40%
- Final: $105.50 (2.5R) → Close remaining 10%

---
## 🎓 Strategy Logic Explained
### Why Momentum > EMA Crossover?
**EMA Crossover Problems:**
- Signals lag behind price
- Late entries = poor R:R
- Many false signals in ranging markets
**Momentum Advantages:**
- Catches moves as they start accelerating
- Earlier entries = better R:R
- Adapts to volatility via ATR
### Why Partial Profit Taking?
**Without Partial TPs:**
- All-or-nothing approach
- Winners often turn to losers
- High stress watching open positions
**With Partial TPs:**
- Lock in 50% at first target
- Reduce risk to breakeven
- Let remainder ride for bigger gains
- Lower psychological pressure
### Why Trade Cooldown?
**Without Cooldown:**
- Revenge trading after losses
- Overtrading in choppy markets
- Emotional decision-making
**With Cooldown:**
- Forces discipline
- Waits for new setup to develop
- Reduces transaction costs
- Better signal quality

## ⚠️ Important Notes
1. **This is a momentum strategy, not an EMA strategy**
The EMA only confirms trend direction. Momentum generates the actual signals.
2. **Backtest thoroughly before live trading**
Past performance ≠ future results. Test on your specific asset and timeframe.
3. **Use proper position sizing**
Risk 1-2% of account per trade maximum. The strategy uses 100% equity by default (adjust in Properties).
4. **Dashboard auto-hides in real-time**
Clean chart for live trading. Visible during backtesting.
5. **Customize for your trading style**
All settings are fully adjustable. No single "best" configuration.
---
## 🚀 Quick Start Guide
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply to your preferred asset and timeframe
2. **Keep Defaults**: Start with default settings
3. **Backtest**: Review historical performance
4. **Paper Trade**: Test with simulated money first
5. **Go Live**: Start small and scale up
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
**Tip 1: Combine Timeframes**
Use higher timeframe (4H) for trend direction, lower timeframe (1H) for entries.
**Tip 2: Avoid News Events**
Major news can cause whipsaws. Consider manual intervention during high-impact events.
**Tip 3: Monitor Momentum Strength**
Dashboard shows momentum in sigma (σ). Values >1.0σ indicate very strong momentum.
**Tip 4: Adjust for Volatility**
In high-volatility markets, increase threshold and stop loss. In quiet markets, decrease them.
**Tip 5: Review Losing Trades**
Check if losses are hitting stop loss or reversing. Adjust stop accordingly.

Live Market Analysis Guide
Step 1: Initial Assessment
1. Check Overall Summary: Start with the main signal
2. Verify with Component Analysis: Ensure signals align
3. Look for Divergences: Identify conflicting signals
Step 2: Timeframe Analysis
1. Set Appropriate Timeframe: Use 1H for intraday, 4H/1D for swing trading
2. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Check higher timeframes for trend context
3. Entry Timing: Use lower timeframes for precise entry points
Step 3: Signal Confirmation Process.
For Buy Signals:
1. Oscillators: Look for oversold conditions (RSI <30, Stoch <20)
2. Moving Averages: Price should be above key MAs
3. Order Blocks: Confirm bounce from support levels
4. Volume: Check for accumulation patterns
5. Supertrend: Ensure bullish trend alignment.
For Sell Signals:
1. Oscillators: Look for overbought conditions (RSI >70, Stoch >80)
2. Moving Averages: Price should be below key MAs
3. Order Blocks: Confirm rejection at resistance levels
4. Volume: Check for distribution patterns
5. Supertrend: Ensure bearish trend alignment.
Step 4: Risk Management Integration
1. Signal Strength Assessment: Stronger signals = larger position size
2. Stop Loss Placement: Use Order Block levels for stops
3. Take Profit Targets: Based on channel analysis and resistance levels
4. Position Sizing: Adjust based on signal confidence
________________________________________
Best Practices
Entry Strategies
1. High Conviction Entries: Wait for STRONG BUY/SELL signals
2. Confluence Trading: Look for multiple components aligning
3. Breakout Trading: Use Order Block and Trendline breakouts
4. Trend Following: Align with Supertrend direction.
Risk Management
1. Never Risk More Than 2% Per Trade: Regardless of signal strength
2. Use Stop Losses: Place at invalidation levels
3. Scale Positions: Stronger signals warrant larger (but still controlled) positions
4. Diversification: Don't rely solely on one indicator.
Market Conditions
1. Trending Markets: Focus on Supertrend and MA signals
2. Range-Bound Markets: Emphasize Oscillator and Order Block signals
3. High Volatility: Reduce position sizes, widen stops
4. Low Volume: Be cautious of breakout signals.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Signal Chasing: Don't enter after signals have already moved significantly
2. Ignoring Context: Consider overall market conditions
3. Overtrading: Wait for high-quality setups
4. Poor Risk Management: Always use appropriate position sizing
