ChronoPulse MS-MACD Resonance StrategyChronoPulse MS-MACD Resonance Strategy
A systematic trading strategy that combines higher-timeframe market structure analysis with dual MACD momentum confirmation, ATR-based risk management, and real-time quality assurance monitoring.
Core Principles
The strategy operates on the principle of multi-timeframe confluence, requiring agreement between:
Market structure breaks (CHOCH/BOS) on a higher timeframe
Dual MACD momentum confirmation (classic and crypto-tuned profiles)
Trend alignment via directional EMAs
Volatility and volume filters
Quality score composite threshold
Strategy Components
Market Structure Engine : Detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) events using confirmed pivots on a configurable higher timeframe. Default structure timeframe is 240 minutes (4H).
Dual MACD Fusion : Requires agreement between two MACD configurations:
Classic MACD: 12/26/9 (default)
Fusion MACD: 8/21/5 (default, optimized for crypto volatility)
Both must agree on direction before trade execution. This can be disabled to use single MACD confirmation.
Trend Alignment : Uses two EMAs for directional bias:
Directional EMA: 55 periods (default)
Execution Trend Guide: 34 periods (default)
Both must align with trade direction.
ATR Risk Management : All risk parameters are expressed in ATR multiples:
Stop Loss: 1.5 × ATR (default)
Take Profit: 3.0 × ATR (default)
Trail Activation: 1.0 × ATR profit required (default)
Trail Distance: 1.5 × ATR behind price (default)
Volume Surge Filter : Optional gate requiring current volume to exceed a multiple of the volume SMA. Default threshold is 1.4× the 20-period volume SMA.
Quality Score Gate : Composite score (0-1) combining:
Structure alignment (0.0-1.0)
Momentum strength (0.0-1.0)
Trend alignment (0.0-1.0)
ATR volatility score (0.0-1.0)
Volume intensity (0.0-1.0)
Default threshold: 0.62. Trades only execute when quality score exceeds this threshold.
Execution Discipline : Trade budgeting system:
Maximum trades per session: 6 (default)
Cooldown bars between entries: 5 (default)
Quality Assurance Console : Real-time monitoring panel displaying:
Structure status (pass/fail)
Momentum confirmation (pass/fail)
Volatility readiness (pass/fail)
Quality score (pass/fail)
Discipline compliance (pass/fail)
Performance metrics (win rate, profit factor)
Net PnL
Certification requires: Win Rate ≥ 40%, Profit Factor ≥ 1.4, Minimum 25 closed trades, and positive net profit.
Integrity Suite : Optional validation panel that audits:
Configuration sanity checks
ATR data readiness
EMA hierarchy validity
Performance realism checks

Signal Generation Logic
A trade signal is generated when ALL of the following conditions are met:
Higher timeframe structure shows bullish (CHOCH/BOS) or bearish structure break
Both MACD profiles agree on direction (if fusion enabled)
Price is above both EMAs for longs (below for shorts)
ATR data is ready and above minimum threshold
Volume exceeds threshold × SMA (if volume gate enabled)
Quality score ≥ quality threshold
Trade budget available (under max trades per day)
Cooldown period satisfied
Risk Management
Stop loss and take profit are set immediately on entry
Trailing stop activates after 1.0 ATR of profit
Trailing stop maintains 1.5 ATR distance behind highest profit point
Position sizing uses 2% of equity per trade (default)
No pyramiding (single position per direction)
Limitations and Considerations
The strategy requires sufficient historical data for higher timeframe structure analysis
Quality gate may filter out many potential trades, reducing trade frequency
Performance metrics are based on historical backtesting and do not guarantee future results
Commission and slippage assumptions (0.015% + 2 ticks) may vary by broker
The strategy is optimized for trending markets with clear structure breaks
Choppy or ranging markets may produce false signals
Crypto markets may require different parameter tuning than traditional assets
Optimization Notes
The strategy includes several parameters that can be tuned for different market conditions:
Quality Threshold : Lower values (0.50-0.60) allow more trades but may reduce average quality. Higher values (0.70+) are more selective but may miss opportunities.
Structure Timeframe : Use 240 (4H) for intraday trading, Daily for swing trading, Weekly for position trading
Volume Gate : Disable for low-liquidity pairs or when volume data is unreliable
Dual MACD Fusion : Disable for mean-reverting markets where single MACD may be more responsive
Trade Discipline : Adjust max trades and cooldown based on your risk tolerance and market volatility
Non-Repainting Guarantee
All higher timeframe data requests use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent repainting. Pivot detection waits for full confirmation before registering structure breaks. All visual elements (tables, labels) update only on closed bars.
Alerts
Three alert conditions are available:
ChronoPulse Long Setup : Fires when all long entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse Short Setup : Fires when all short entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse QA Certification : Fires when Quality Assurance console reaches CERTIFIED status
Configure alerts with "Once Per Bar Close" delivery to match the non-repainting design.
Visual Elements
Structure Labels : CHOCH↑, CHOCH↓, BOS↑, BOS↓ markers on structure breaks
Directional EMA : Orange line showing trend bias
Trailing Stop Lines : Green (long) and red (short) trailing stop levels
Dashboard Panel : Real-time status display (structure, MACD, ATR, quality, PnL)
QA Console : Quality assurance monitoring panel
Integrity Suite Panel : Optional validation status display
Recommended Usage
Forward test with paper trading before live deployment
Monitor the QA console until it reaches CERTIFIED status
Adjust parameters based on your specific market and timeframe
Respect the trade discipline limits to avoid over-trading
Review quality scores and adjust threshold if needed
Use appropriate commission and slippage settings for your broker
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with the following key features:
Multi-timeframe data requests with lookahead protection
Confirmed pivot detection for structure analysis
Dynamic trailing stop management
Real-time quality score calculation
Trade budgeting and cooldown enforcement
Comprehensive dashboard and monitoring panels
All source code is open and available for review and modification.

Ict
RUSSFEST SMC Strategy V1.4RUSSFEST SMC Strategy V1.4 is a multi-timeframe Smart Money Concepts framework that builds a clean, rule-based view of market structure and then trades directly off that structure. It’s designed for traders who want to systematize SMC logic, keep their charts readable, and automate their trading.
Instead of relying on lagging oscillators, the strategy continuously tracks the active price leg, labels strong/weak highs and lows, and reacts to structural shifts in real time. The current timeframe leg is always drawn on your chart with a clear high, low, and midpoint, so you can instantly see whether price is trading in a discount or premium relative to the leg. Trade entries are driven by confirmed events aligned with directional bias, not by single-candle patterns.
A higher-timeframe (HTF) structure engine runs in the background and can be overlaid on your execution timeframe (e.g., 4H structure on a 15m chart). This HTF leg provides the primary bias and defines HTF discount/premium zones so that longs can be constrained to discounted areas of a bullish leg and shorts to premium areas of a bearish leg. An optional additional HTF bias can be turned on for traders who want an extra top-down filter before any position is allowed.
Risk management is fully structure-based. Stops are always placed beyond the current structure high/low with an optional buffer, so every trade is anchored to a meaningful swing point instead of arbitrary points. Take-profit logic is configurable:
Fixed RR – simple R-multiple targeting off the structure-based stop.
HTF Weak High/Low – targets the opposing side of the active HTF leg.
Opposite CHoCH – dynamically exits when structure flips against the position, effectively using the next structural shift as an exit rule.
Key Features:
Full SMC-style price leg tracking with strong/weak highs & lows and midpoint.
Multi-timeframe structure: overlay HTF leg on your LTF execution chart.
Primary and optional secondary HTF bias filters.
Discount/premium gating relative to the HTF leg (no “chasing” in the wrong zone).
Structure-anchored stop loss with three exit modes (Fixed RR, HTF target, Opposite CHoCH).
Day-of-week filters for filtering out any days that don't prove to be profitable.
This script is a structured SMC framework, not financial advice. Markets are risky; always forward-test, adjust parameters for your instrument and timeframe, and use position sizing that fits your own risk tolerance.
Liquidity Sweep & FVG StrategyThis strategy combines higher-timeframe liquidity levels, stop-hunt (sweep) logic, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and structure-based take-profits into a single execution engine.
It is not a simple mash-up of indicators: every module (HTF levels, sweeps, FVGs, ZigZag, sessions) feeds the same entry/exit logic.
1. Core Idea
The script looks for situations where price:
Sweeps a higher-timeframe high/low (takes liquidity around obvious levels),
Then forms a displacement candle with a gap (FVG) in the opposite direction,
Then uses the edge of that FVG as a limit entry,
And manages exits using unswept structural levels (ZigZag swings or HTF levels) as targets.
The intent is to systematically trade failed breakouts / stop hunts with a defined structure and risk model.
It is a backtesting / study tool, not a signal service.
2. How the Logic Works (Conceptual)
a) Higher-Timeframe Liquidity Engine
Daily, Weekly and Monthly highs/lows are pulled via request.security() and stored as HTF liquidity levels.
Each level is drawn as a line with optional label (1D/1W/1M High/Low).
A level is marked as “swept” once price trades through it; swept levels may be removed or shortened depending on settings.
b) Sweep & Manipulation Filter
A low sweep occurs when the current low trades through a stored HTF low.
A high sweep occurs when the current high trades through a stored HTF high.
If both a high and a low are swept in the same bar, the script flags this as “manipulation” and blocks new entries around that noise.
The script also tracks the sweep wick, bar index and HTF timeframe for later use in SL placement and labels.
c) FVG Detection & Management
FVGs are defined using a 3-candle displacement model:
Bullish FVG: high < low
Bearish FVG: low > high
Only gaps larger than a minimum size (ATR-based if no manual value is set) are kept.
FVGs are stored in arrays as boxes with: top, bottom, mid (CE), direction, and state (filled / reclaimed).
Boxes are auto-extended and visually faded when price is far away, or deleted when filled.
d) Entry Conditions (Sweep + FVG)
For each recent sweep window:
After a low sweep, the script searches for the nearest bullish FVG below price and uses its top edge as a long limit entry.
After a high sweep, it searches for the nearest bearish FVG above price and uses its bottom edge as a short limit entry.
A “knife protection” check blocks trades where price is already trading through the proposed stop.
Only one entry per sweep is allowed; entries are only placed inside the configured NY trading sessions and only if no manipulation flag is active and EOD protection allows it.
e) Stop-Loss Placement (“Tick-Free” SL)
The stop is not placed directly on the HTF level; instead, the script scans a window around the sweep bar to find a local extreme:
Longs: lowest low in a configurable bar window around the sweep.
Shorts: highest high in that window.
This produces a structure-based SL that is generally outside the main sweep wick.
f) Take-Profit Logic (ZigZag + HTF Levels)
A lightweight ZigZag engine tracks swing highs/lows and removes levels that have already been broken.
For intraday timeframes (< 1h), TP candidates come from unswept ZigZag swings above/below the entry.
For higher timeframes (≥ 1h), TP candidates fall back to unswept HTF liquidity levels.
The script picks up to two targets:
TP1: nearest valid target in the trade direction (or a 2R fallback if none exists),
TP2: second target (or a 4R fallback if none exists).
A multi-TP model is used: typically 50% at TP1, remainder managed towards TP2 with breakeven plus offset once TP1 is hit.
g) Session & End-of-Day Filters
Three predefined NY sessions (Early, Open, Afternoon) are available; entries are only allowed inside active sessions.
An End-of-Day filter checks a user-defined NY close time and:
Blocks new entries close to the end of the day,
Optionally forces flat before the close.
3. Inputs Overview (Conceptual)
Liquidity settings: which HTF levels to track (1D/1W/1M), how many to show, and sweep priority (highest TF vs nearest vs any).
FVG settings: visibility radius, search window after a sweep, minimum FVG size.
ZigZag settings: swing length used for TP discovery.
Execution & protection: limit order timeout, breakeven offset, EOD protection.
Visuals: labels, sweep markers, manipulation warning, session highlighting, TP lines, etc.
For exact meaning of each input, please refer to the inline comments in the open-source code.
4. Strategy Properties & Backtesting Notes
Default strategy properties in this script:
Initial capital: 100,000
Order size: 10% of equity (strategy.percent_of_equity)
Commission: 0.01% per trade (adjust as needed for your broker/asset)
Slippage: must be set manually in the Strategy Tester (recommended: at least a few ticks on fast markets).
Even though the order size is 10% of equity, actual risk per trade depends on the SL distance and is typically much lower than 10% of the account. You should still adjust these values to keep risk within what you personally consider sustainable (e.g. somewhere in the 1–2% range per trade).
For more meaningful results:
Test on liquid instruments (e.g. major indices, FX, or liquid futures).
Use enough history to reach 100+ closed trades on your market/timeframe.
Always include realistic commission and slippage.
Do not assume that past performance will continue.
5. How to Use
Apply the strategy to your preferred symbol and timeframe.
Set broker-like commission and slippage in the Strategy Tester.
Adjust:
HTF levels (1D/1W/1M),
Sessions (NY windows),
FVG search window and minimum size,
ZigZag length and EOD filter.
Observe how entries only appear:
After a HTF sweep,
In the configured session,
At a FVG edge,
With TP lines anchored at unswept structure / liquidity.
Use this primarily as a research and backtesting tool to study how your own ICT / SMC ideas behave over a large sample of trades.

What this strategy does
This turns BigBeluga’s visual FVG concept into an entry/exit strategy. It scans bullish and bearish FVG boxes, measures how deep price has mitigated into a box (as a percentage), and opens a long/short when your mitigation threshold and filters are satisfied. Risk is managed with a fixed Stop Loss % and a Trailing Stop that activates only after a user-defined profit trigger.
Additions vs. the original indicator
✅ Strategy entries based on % mitigation into FVGs (long/short).
✅ Lower-TF volume split using upticks/downticks; fallback if LTF data is missing (distributes prior bar volume by close’s position in its H–L range) to avoid NaN/0.
✅ Per-FVG total volume filter (min/max) so you can skip weak boxes.
✅ Age filter (min bars since the FVG was created) to avoid fresh/immature boxes.
✅ Bull% / Bear% share filter (the 46%/53% numbers you see inside each FVG).
✅ Optional candle confirmation and cooldown between trades.
✅ Risk management: fixed SL % + Trailing Stop with a profit trigger (doesn’t trail until your trigger is reached).
✅ Pine v6 safety: no unsupported args, no indexof/clamp/when, reverse-index deletes, guards against zero/NaN.
How a trade is decided (logic overview)
Detect FVGs (same rules as the original visual logic).
For each FVG currently intersected by the bar, compute:
Mitigation % (how deep price has entered the box).
Bull%/Bear% split (internal volume share).
Total volume (printed on the box) from LTF aggregation or fallback.
Age (bars) since the box was created.
Apply your filters:
Mitigation ≥ Long/Short threshold.
Volume between your min and max (if enabled).
Age ≥ min bars (if enabled).
Bull% / Bear% within your limits (if enabled).
(Optional) the current candle must be in trade direction (confirm).
If multiple FVGs qualify on the same bar, the strategy uses the most recent one.
Enter long/short (no pyramiding).
Exit with:
Fixed Stop Loss %, and
Trailing Stop that only starts after price reaches your profit trigger %.
Input settings (quick guide)
Mitigation source: close or high/low. Use high/low for intrabar touches; close is stricter.
Mitigation % thresholds: minimal mitigation for Long and Short.
TOTAL Volume filter: skip FVGs with too little/too much total volume (per box).
Bull/Bear share filter: require, e.g., Long only if Bull% ≥ 50; avoid Short when Bull% is high (Short Bull% max).
Age filter (bars): e.g., ≥ 20–30 bars to avoid fresh boxes.
Confirm candle: require candle direction to match the trade.
Cooldown (bars): minimum bars between entries.
Risk:
Stop Loss % (fixed from entry price).
Activate trailing at +% profit (the trigger).
Trailing distance % (the trailing gap once active).
Lower-TF aggregation:
Auto: TF/Divisor → picks 1/3/5m automatically.
Fixed: choose 1/3/5/15m explicitly.
If LTF can’t be fetched, fallback allocates prior bar’s volume by its close position in the bar’s H–L.
Suggested starting presets (you should optimize per market)
Mitigation: 60–80% for both Long/Short.
Bull/Bear share:
Long: Bull% ≥ 50–70, Bear% ≤ 100.
Short: Bull% ≤ 60 (avoid shorting into strong support), Bear% ≥ 0–70 as you prefer.
Age: ≥ 20–30 bars.
Volume: pick a min that filters noise for your symbol/timeframe.
Risk: SL 4–6%, trailing trigger 1–2%, distance 1–2% (crypto example).
Set slippage/fees in Strategy Properties.
Notes, limitations & best practices
Data differences: The LTF split uses request.security_lower_tf. If the exchange/data feed has sparse LTF data, the fallback kicks in (it’s deliberate to avoid NaNs but is a heuristic).
Real-time vs backtest: The current bar can update until close; results on historical bars use closed data. Use “Bar Replay” to understand intrabar effects.
No pyramiding: Only one position at a time. Modify pyramiding in the header if you need scaling.
Assets: For spot/crypto, TradingView “volume” is exchange volume; in some markets it may be tick volume—interpret filters accordingly.
Risk disclosure: Past performance ≠ future results. Use appropriate position sizing and risk controls; this is not financial advice.

Killzones SMT + IFVG detectorKillzones SMT + IFVG Detector
Summary
This strategy implements a specific intraday workflow inspired by ICT-style concepts.
It combines:
Killzone session levels (recording untouched highs/lows)
SMT divergence between NQ and ES (exclusive sweep logic)
IFVG confirmation (3-bar imbalance + width filter + inversion guard)
and an optional smart exit engine
The components are not simply mashed together: they interact in sequence.
A setup only confirms if all conditions line up (time window → untouched level sweep → divergence → valid IFVG → confirmation candle → risk filter).
Workflow
Killzones & session levels
Tracks highs/lows inside default killzones (19:00–23:00, 01:00–04:00, 08:30–10:00, 11:00–12:00, 12:30–15:00, chart timezone).
Stores untouched levels forward; sweeps trigger candidate signals.
SMT divergence (exclusive sweep)
Bullish SMT : one index sweeps its low while the other remains above its session low.
Bearish SMT : one index sweeps its high while the other remains below its session high.
Detection supports “Sweep (Cross)” or “Exact Tick.”
Session IDs are tracked so once a side has fired, later re-touches can’t re-trigger .
IFVG confirmation
Locks the first valid 3-bar IFVG after SMT.
Confirmation requires a candle close beyond the IFVG boundary in the direction of the close.
IFVGs must meet a minimum width filter (default 1.0 point).
Inversion guard: ignores IFVGs already inverted before SMT.
Optional “re-lock” keeps tracking the latest IFVG until confirmation/expiry.
Smart exit engine
Initial stop from opposite wick (+ buffer).
Fixed TP (default 40 points).
Dynamic stop escalation at progress thresholds (BE → 50% → 80% of target).
Safety gates
Weekend lockout (Fri 16:40 → Sun 18:00).
Same-bar sweep of high & low cancels setups.
Max initial stop filter skips oversized setups.
Optional cooldown bars.
Alerts
SMT Bullish/Bearish : divergence detected this bar.
Confirm Long/Short : IFVG confirmation triggered.
Default Strategy Properties (used in screenshots/backtests)
Initial capital: $25,000
Order size: 1 contract
Commission: $1.25 per contract per side
Slippage: 2 ticks
Backtest window: Jun 16, 2025 – Sep 14, 2025
These settings are intentionally conservative. If you change them, your results will differ.
How to use
Apply on an NQ or ES futures chart (1–5 min).
Choose your killzones and detection mode.
Select confirmation symbol (NQ, ES, or “Sweeper”).
Enable/disable IFVG re-lock.
Review signals and use alerts for automation if desired.
Limitations
Strict filters reduce trade count; extend backtest window for more samples.
Works best on NQ/ES; not validated elsewhere.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Webhook URL: api.telegram.org
Message: leave empty (the strategy provides JSON via alert() – includes chat_id, parse_mode, text).
Ensure your bot can post to the channel and the chat_id is valid.
Repainting & Backtesting
HTF series via lookahead_off on closed higher-TF candles; FVG detection on confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed).
Intrabar/Open entries allow earlier fills but typically cause differences between backtest and live (tick granularity/slippage, limit touch on bar OHLC).
For reproducibility, trade without intrabar (bar-close only).
Limitations
No full tick simulation; limit fills rely on bar OHLC.
Liquidity “cleanup” is rule-based (not an orderbook).
Telegram depends on correct webhook configuration.
Tips
Timeframes: M5 (intrabar)
Start with modest R:R (e.g., 1.5–2.0) and tune filters carefully.

ICT OTE Strategy Crypto PublicICT OTE Strategy Crypto Public
This strategy automates a classic ICT (Inner Circle Trader) setup specifically tailored for the high-volatility nature of cryptocurrency markets. It aims to enter a trade on a retracement after a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS), using a dual-swing detection method to validate the market's direction before looking for an entry.
The entire process is automated, from identifying the market structure to managing the trade with advanced risk management options. This version uses a percentage of equity for its order sizing, which is ideal for crypto trading.
How It Works
Dual Swing Detection: The strategy uses two different sets of swing strengths to analyze market structure for higher accuracy:
Entry Swings: Weaker, more sensitive swings used to define the immediate dealing range for a potential trade.
Validator Swings: Stronger, more significant swings used to confirm a true Break of Structure.
Break of Structure (BOS): A trade setup is only considered valid after a strong "Validator" swing breaks through a previous "Entry" swing. This confirms the market's intended direction and filters out weak or false moves.
Identify Retracement Leg: After a confirmed BOS, the strategy identifies the most recent "Entry Swing" price leg that led to the break.
Auto-Fibonacci: It automatically draws a Fibonacci retracement over this leg, from the start of the move (1.0) to the end (0.0).
Trade Entry: A limit order is placed at a user-defined Fibonacci level (defaulting to 0.618), anticipating a price pullback into a discount or premium array.
After a bullish BOS, it looks to BUY the retracement.
After a bearish BOS, it looks to SELL the retracement.
Risk Management:
Stop Loss is placed at the start of the leg (the 1.0 level).
Take Profit is placed at a user-defined level (defaulting to the 0.0 level, with extension options).
Includes an option to move the stop loss to break-even after the trade has moved a certain distance in profit.
How to Use
Asset Selection: This strategy is designed for cryptocurrency markets. Its use of percentage-based order sizing is not suitable for tick-based markets like futures.
Swing Settings: Adjust the "Entry Swing" and "Validator" strengths to match the volatility and timeframe of the asset you are trading. Higher numbers will result in fewer, more significant setups.
Backtest: Use the Strategy Tester to optimize the "FIB Entry Level," "Take Profit Level," and "Swing Sensitivity" to find the best settings for your specific market and timeframe.
ICT OTE Strategy Futures PublicICT OTE Strategy
This strategy automates a classic ICT (Inner Circle Trader) setup that aims to enter a trade on a retracement after a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS). It is designed to identify high-probability setups by waiting for the market to show its hand before looking for an entry within a "discount" or "premium" array.
The entire process is automated, from identifying the market structure to managing the trade with a dynamic stop loss.
How It Works
Break of Structure (BOS): The strategy first waits for a strong, validated swing to break a previous, weaker swing high or low. This confirms the market's intended direction.
Identify Retracement Leg: After a BOS, the strategy identifies the most recent price leg that led to the break.
Auto-Fibonacci: It automatically draws a Fibonacci retracement over this leg, from the start of the move (1.0) to the end (0.0).
Trade Entry: A limit order is placed at a user-defined Fibonacci level (defaulting to 0.508), anticipating a price pullback.
After a bullish BOS, it looks to BUY the retracement.
After a bearish BOS, it looks to SELL the retracement.
Risk Management:
Stop Loss is placed at the start of the leg (the 1.0 level).
Take Profit is placed at a user-defined level (defaulting to the 0.0 level).
Includes an option to move the stop loss to break-even after the trade has moved a certain distance in profit.
How to Use
Swing Settings: Adjust the "Entry Swing" and "Validator" strengths to match the volatility and timeframe of the asset you are trading. Higher numbers will result in fewer, more significant setups.
Session Filter: Use the "Trading Sessions" filter to align the strategy with ICT's "killzone" concept, ensuring trades are only taken during high-volume periods like the New York session.
Backtest: Use the Strategy Tester to optimize the "FIB Entry Level," "Take Profit Level," and "Min Trade Range" to find the best settings for your specific market and timeframe.
ICT OTE StrategyStrategy Overview
This strategy is designed to automate a specific trading setup based on the concepts of Inner Circle Trader (ICT). Its primary goal is to identify significant market structure swings, frame a Fibonacci retracement over the most recent price leg, and execute a trade when the price pulls back to a key user-defined level. It is a counter-trend entry strategy, meaning it looks to enter a trade during a pullback within an established trend.
How It Works: Step-by-Step
1. Swing Detection:
The strategy first identifies significant swing highs and swing lows.
A swing high is confirmed only if it's higher than a specific number of bars to its left and right (defined by "Left Strength" and "Right Strength" in the settings).
The same logic applies to swing lows, which must be lower than the bars around them. This filtering ensures only structurally important turning points are considered.
2. Defining the Trading Range:
Once a new swing is confirmed, the strategy defines the most recent dealing range.
If a new swing high forms, the range is drawn from the previous swing low up to this new high. This is considered a bullish leg.
If a new swing low forms, the range is drawn from the previous swing high down to this new low. This is considered a bearish leg.
3. Fibonacci Retracement & Trade Setup:
An automatic Fibonacci retracement tool is drawn over this newly defined dealing range. The 0.0 level is placed at the end of the move, and the 1.0 level is at the beginning.
The strategy then prepares to enter a trade based on this range.
4. Trade Execution:
Entry: A limit order is placed at a specific Fibonacci level within the range, waiting for the price to retrace. The default entry is the 0.618 level, but this can be changed in the settings.
For a bullish leg, it places a LONG (Buy) order, anticipating that the price will bounce from the retracement level.
For a bearish leg, it places a SHORT (Sell) order, anticipating that the price will be rejected from the retracement level.
Stop Loss: The Stop Loss is automatically placed at the 1.0 level of the Fibonacci range. This is the point where the original trade idea is invalidated.
Take Profit: The Take Profit is automatically placed at the 0.0 level of the Fibonacci range. This is the target at the end of the price leg.
Key Features & Customization
Automated Trade Logic: The entire process, from identifying the setup to placing the entry, stop loss, and take profit, is fully automated.
Visual Aid: The script draws the swing points and the Fibonacci retracement on the chart, so you can visually confirm the setups the strategy is taking.
Customizable Entry: You can change the "Entry Level" in the settings to test different Fibonacci levels, such as the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) at 0.705.
Toggle Visuals: You can turn the Fibonacci drawing on or off to keep your chart clean while still allowing the strategy to run in the background.

Supports up to 5 separate take-profit levels with adjustable quantities, plus dynamic and stepwise trailing stops. Protects your gains and adapts exit logic to market movement, not just static targets.
Anti-Chop/No Trade Zones:
Eliminate low-probability, sideways market conditions using the “No Chop Zone” filter, so you only trade in meaningful, trending environments.
Full Market Session Control:
Restrict trades to custom sessions (e.g., New York hours) for added discipline and to avoid overnight risk.
— Ideal for day traders and prop-firm requirements.
Multi-Asset & Timeframe Support:
Whether you trade micro futures, stocks, forex, or crypto, NOMA adapts its TP/SL logic to ticks, pips, or points and works on any timeframe.
How NOMA Works (Feature Breakdown)
1. Adaptive Trend Engine
Uses a custom NOMA line that blends classic moving averages with dynamic momentum and a proprietary “Confidence Momentum Oscillator” overlay.
Visual trend overlay and color fill for easy chart reading.
2. Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring
Each trade is scored on up to 11 confidence “boosters,” including:
Market Manipulation & Accumulation (detects smart money traps and true range expansions)
Accumulation/Distribution (AD line)
ATR Volatility Rank (prioritizes trades when volatility is “just right”)
COG Cross (center of gravity reversal points)
Change of Character/Break of Structure (CHoCH/BOS logic, SMC/ICT style)
Order Blocks, Breakers, FVGs, Inducements, OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) Zones
You control the minimum score required for a trade to trigger, plus the weight of each factor (customize for your asset or style).
3. Smart Trade Management
Step Take-Profits:
Up to 5 profit targets, each with individual contract/quantity splits.
Step Trailing Stop:
Trail your stop with a ratcheting logic that tightens after each TP is hit, or use a fully dynamic ATR-based trail for volatile markets.
Kill-Switch:
Instant trailing stop logic closes all open contracts if price reverses sharply.
4. Session Filter & Cooldown Logic
Restricts trading to key sessions (e.g., NY open) to avoid low-liquidity or dead zones.
Cooldown bars prevent “overtrading” or rapid re-entries after an exit.
5. Chop Zone Filter

ICT Bread and Butter Sell-SetupICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup – TradingView Strategy
Overview:
The ICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup is an intraday trading strategy designed to capitalize on bearish market conditions. It follows institutional order flow and exploits liquidity patterns within key trading sessions—London, New York, and Asia—to identify high-probability short entries.
Key Components of the Strategy:
🔹 London Open Setup (2:00 AM – 8:20 AM NY Time)
The London session typically sets the initial directional move of the day.
A short-term high often forms before a downward push, establishing the daily high.
🔹 New York Open Kill Zone (8:20 AM – 10:00 AM NY Time)
The New York Judas Swing (a temporary rally above London’s high) creates an opportunity for short entries.
Traders fade this move, anticipating a sell-off targeting liquidity below previous lows.
🔹 London Close Buy Setup (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time)
If price reaches a higher timeframe discount array, a retracement higher is expected.
A bullish order block or failure swing signals a possible reversal.
The risk is set just below the day’s low, targeting a 20-30% retracement of the daily range.
🔹 Asia Open Sell Setup (7:00 PM – 2:00 AM NY Time)
If institutional order flow remains bearish, a short entry is taken around the 0-GMT Open.
Expect a 15-20 pip decline as the Asian range forms.
Strategy Rules:
📉 Short Entry Conditions:
✅ New York Judas Swing occurs (price moves above London’s high before reversing).
✅ Short entry is triggered when price closes below the open.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips above the session high.
✅ Take-profit targets liquidity zones on higher timeframes.
📈 Long Entry (London Close Reversal):
✅ Price reaches a higher timeframe discount array between 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time.
✅ A bullish order block confirms the reversal.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips below the day’s low.
✅ Take-profit targets 20-30% of the daily range retracement.
📉 Asia Open Sell Entry:
✅ Price trades slightly above the 0-GMT Open.
✅ Short entry is taken at resistance, targeting a quick 15-20 pip move.
Why Use This Strategy?
🚀 Institutional Order Flow Tracking – Aligns with smart money concepts.
📊 Precise Session Timing – Uses market structure across London, New York, and Asia.
🎯 High-Probability Entries – Focuses on liquidity grabs and engineered stop hunts.
📉 Optimized Risk Management – Defined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to trade with institutions, fade liquidity grabs, and capture high-probability short setups during the trading day. 📉🔥

Candle Range Theory [Advanced] - AlgoVisionUnderstanding Candle Range Theory (CRT) in the AlgoVision Indicator
Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a structured approach to analyzing market movements within the price ranges of candlesticks. CRT is founded on the idea that each candlestick on a chart, regardless of timeframe, represents a distinct range of price action, marked by the candle's open, high, low, and close. This range gives insights into market dynamics, and when analyzed in lower timeframes, reveals patterns that indicate underlying market sentiment and institutional behaviors.
Key Concepts of Candle Range Theory
Candlestick Range: The range of a candlestick is simply the distance between its high and low. Across timeframes, this range highlights significant price behavior, with each candlestick representing a snapshot of price movement. The body (distance between open and close) shows the primary price action, while wicks (shadows) reflect price fluctuations or "noise" around this movement.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: A higher-timeframe (HTF) candlestick can be dissected into smaller, structured price movements in lower timeframes (LTFs). By analyzing these smaller movements, traders gain a detailed view of the market’s progression within the HTF candlestick’s range. Each HTF candlestick’s high and low provide support and resistance levels on the LTF, where the price can "sweep," break out, or retest these levels.
Market Behavior within the Range: Price action within a range doesn’t move randomly; it follows structured behavior, often revealing patterns. By analyzing these patterns, CRT provides insights into the market’s intention to accumulate, manipulate, or distribute assets within these ranges. This behavior can indicate future market direction and increase the probability of accurate trading signals.
CRT and ICT Power of 3: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution (AMD)
A foundational element of our CRT indicator is its combination with ICT’s Power of 3 (Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution or AMD). This approach identifies three stages of market movement:
Accumulation: During this phase, institutions accumulate positions within a tight price range, often leading to sideways movement. Here, price consolidates as institutions carefully enter or exit positions, erasing traces of their intent from public view.
Manipulation: Institutions often use manipulation to create false breakouts, targeting retail traders who enter the market on perceived breakouts or reversals. Manipulation is characterized by liquidity grabs, false breakouts, or stop hunts, as price momentarily moves outside the established range before quickly returning.
Distribution: Following accumulation and manipulation, the distribution phase aligns with the true market direction. Institutions now allow the market to move with the trend, initiating a stronger and more sustained price movement that aligns with their intended position.
This AMD cycle is often observed across multiple timeframes, allowing traders to refine entries and exits by identifying accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases on smaller timeframes within the range of a higher-timeframe candle. CRT views this cycle as the "heartbeat" of the market—a continuous loop of price movements. With our indicator, you can identify this cycle on your current timeframe, with the signal candle acting as the "manipulation" candle.
How to Use the Premium AlgoVision CRT Indicator
1. Indicator Display Options
Bullish/Bearish Plot Indication: Toggles the display of bullish or bearish CRT signals. Turn this on to display signals on your chart or off to reduce screen clutter.
Order Block Indication: Highlights the order block entry price, which is the preferred entry point for CRT trades.
Purge Time Indication: Shows when the low or high of Candle 1 is purged by Candle 2, helping to identify potential manipulation points.
2. Filter Options
Match Indicator Candle with Signal: Ensures that only bullish Candle 2s (for longs) or bearish Candle 2s (for shorts) are signaled. This filter helps eliminate signals where the candlestick’s direction does not align with the CRT model.
Take Profit Already Reached: When enabled, this filter removes CRT signals if take profit levels are reached within Candle 2. This helps focus on setups where there’s still room for price movement.
Midnight Price Filter: Filters signals based on midnight price levels:
Longs: Only signals if the order block entry price is below the midnight price.
Shorts: Only signals if the order block entry price is above the midnight price.
3. Entry and Exit Settings
Wick out prevention: Allows positions to stay open and prevent getting wicked out. Positions will still be able to close if determined by the algorithm.
Buy/Sell: This allows you to set you daily bias. You can select to only see buys or sells.
Custom Stop Loss: Sets a custom stop loss distance from the entry price (e.g., $100 or $200 away) if the predefined stop loss based on Candle 2’s low/high doesn’t suit your preference.
Take Profit Levels: Choose from three take profit levels:
Optimized Take Profit: Uses an optimized take profit level based on CRT’s recommended exit point.
Take Profit 1: Sets an initial take profit level.
Take Profit 2: Sets a secondary take profit level for a more extended exit target.
Timeframe of Order Block: Select the timeframe of the order block entry, which can be tailored based on the timeframe of the CRT signal.
Risk-to-Reward Filter: Filters trades based on a specified risk-to-reward ratio, using the indicator’s stop loss as the base. This helps to ensure trades meet minimum reward criteria.
4. Risk Management
Fixed Entry QTY: This will allow you to open all positions with a fixed QTY
Risk to Reward Ratio: This allows you to set a minimum risk to reward ratio, the strategy will only take trades if this risk to reward is met.
Risk Type:
Fixed Amount: Allows you to risk a fixed $ amount.
% of account: Allows you to risk % of account equity.
5. Day and Time Filters
Filter by Days: Specify the days of the week for CRT signals to appear. For instance, you could enable signals only on Thursdays. This setting can be adjusted to any day or combination of days.
Purge Time Filter: Filters CRT signals based on specific purge times when Candle 1’s low/high is breached by Candle 2, as CRT setups are observed to work best during certain times.
Hour Filters for CRT Signals:
1-Hour CRT Times: Allows filtering CRT signals based on specific 1-hour time intervals.
4-Hour CRT Times: Filter 4-hour CRT signals based on specified times.
Forex and Futures Conversion: Adjusts times based on standard sessions for Forex (e.g., 9:00 AM 4-hour candle) and Futures (e.g., 10 PM candle for Futures or 8 AM for Crypto).
6. Currency and Asset-Specific Filters
Crypto vs. Forex Mode: This setting adjusts the indicator’s timing to match market sessions specific to either crypto or Forex/Futures, ensuring the CRT model aligns with the asset type.
Additional Notes
Backtesting Options: Adjust these to test risk management, such as risking a fixed amount or a percentage of the account, for historical performance insights.
Optimized Settings: This version includes all features and optimized settings, with the most refined data analysis.
Conclusion By combining CRT with ICT Power of 3, the AlgoVision Indicator allows traders to leverage the CRT candlestick as a versatile tool for identifying potential market moves. This method provides beginners and seasoned traders alike with a robust framework to understand market dynamics and refine trade strategies across timeframes. Setting alerts on the higher timeframe to catch bullish or bearish CRT signals allows you to plan and execute trades on the lower timeframe, aligning your strategy with the broader market flow.
ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.
Calculation and display of key price areas like Breaker Blocks, Rejection Blocks, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Equal Levels, and more.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Swing Low
User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing Low Below Entry
Previous Day Low
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing High
Previous Day High
Order blocks

The image above shows the indicator identifying a liquidity sweep prior to a downside breakout.
The color and aggressiveness of liquidity sweep identification are adjustable in the settings!
Power Of Three
The image above shows the indicator calculating Po3 for two user-defined higher timeframes!
Macros
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite identifying the ICT macros!
ICT Macros are only displayable on the 5 minute timeframe or less.
Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!
Captain Backtest Model [TFO]Created by @imjesstwoone and @mickey1984, this trade model attempts to capture the expansion from the 10:00-14:00 EST 4h candle using just 3 simple steps. All of the information presented in this description has been outlined by its creators, all I did was translate it to Pine Script. All core settings of the trade model may be edited so that users can test several variations, however this description will cover its default, intended behavior using NQ 5m as an example.
Step 1 is to identify our Price Range. In this case, we are concerned with the highest high and the lowest low created from 6:00-10:00 EST.
Step 2 is to wait for either the high or low of said range to be taken out. Whichever side gets taken first determines the long/short bias for the remainder of the Trade Window (i.e. if price takes the range high, bias is long, and vice versa). Bias must be determined by 11:15 EST, otherwise no trades will be taken. This filter is intended to weed out "choppy" trading days.
Step 3 is to wait for a retracement and enter with a close through the previous candle's high (if long biased) or low (if short biased). There are a couple toggleable criteria that we use to define a retracement; one is checking for opposite close candles that indicate a pullback; another is checking if price took the previous candle's low (if long biased) or high (if short biased).
This trade model was initially tested for index futures, particularly ES and NQ, using a 5m chart, however this indicator allows us to backtest any symbol on any timeframe. Creators @imjesstwoone and @mickey1984 specified a 5 point stop loss on ES and a 25 point stop loss on NQ with their testing.
I've personally found some success in backtesting NQ 5m using a 25 point stop loss and 75 point profit target (3:1 R). Enabling the Use Fixed R:R parameter will ensure that these stops and targets are utilized, otherwise it will enter and hold the position until the close of the Trade Window.
FVG Strategy - Fair Value GapThe Fair Value Gap Strategy (FVG) is a trading approach that relies on price action analysis and involves identifying market inefficiencies or imbalances.
The strategy offers a variety of customizable settings to match your preferences and includes an entry and exit strategy to guide you through trades.
The script operates in the following manner:
It begins by searching for fair-value-gaps and subsequently identifies a break in structure.
The next step involves waiting for the price to retrace within the previously established fair value gap.
Within this gap, there is a Fibonacci retracement that must be reached before placing a stop-order.
Example: GER40, 1min Chart
STOP LOSS & RISK MANAGEMENT
FVG : The stop loss will be set at the end of the fair value gap
Last Swing : The stop loss will be at the last swing high/low
ATR (Average True Range) : The stop loss will be placed one 'Average True Range' away from the entry
TAKE PROFIT
Pips/Points : The stop loss will be set at the chosen amount of pips/points.
RiskReward TP : This is a fixed take profit where you can set a specific risk-to-reward ratio for the trade. For example, you can set a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio.
Trailing Stop : This is a flexible stop that moves with the market price, allowing you to capture more profit as the trade moves in your favor.
Both : This option combines both the RiskReward TP and Trailing Stop. If the price target is set at a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio, the trailing stop will move with the price until either the stop or take profit is reached, and the position will be closed completely.
THE FVG SECTION
In the FVG section, you will have the ability to customize your settings based on your specific requirements.
Firstly, you will have the choice of two possible entry options:
Candle Close : This option triggers the order once the candle has completely closed and all the set requirements are met.
Stop Orders : This option triggers the order once all the set requirements are met, even if the candle is still active and has not yet closed.
On top, you can activate the "Pinbar-Trading", that will allow you to take a trade on a pinbar, even when the candle just dipped into the FVG and snapped back.
FAIR VALUE GAP TYPE
On volatile market, it may happen that a massive FVG is created. Thats why we have separated the FVG into 2 different variables.
FVG Type: Normal : This is all regular FVG that meet the requirement of you minimum size range. As example FVG must be minimum 5$ big.
FVG Type: Big : This are all big FVG that meet the minimum set size range. The difference to the "normal" type, the stop loss will be set at 50% of the Big-FVG.
FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT & MARKET STRUCTURE
To refine the FVG strategy, you have three options:
Fibonacci Retracement Value (%) : The FVG strategy employs a Fibonacci retracement, which allows you to trade in the direction of the market movement. To initiate the order, the price must reach a predetermined Fibonacci level and then rebound.
Formation-to-Retracement Countdown: : This option provides you with a specified number of candles to meet the necessary conditions. For example, if the order is not triggered within 20 candles, delete the FVG-Zone and skip the trade to avoid getting caught in a sideways ranging trend.
Structure Lookback : This feature filters out older FVG Zones. You can specify the number of candles that should mark the FVG Zones. Keep in mind that newer and fresher zones will automatically conceal older ones.
SME Backtesting [TFO]This strategy script is an extension of my Smart Money Essentials (SME) indicator and aims to provide a simplified means of backtesting complex trade models that incorporate a variety of Smart Money Concepts.
Among other things, Smart Money Essentials contains logic for:
- Market structure
- Fair Value Gaps
- Order Blocks
- Breaker Blocks
- Optimal Trade Entries
- HTF Market Structure
The Confluence section can then be utilized to build and test trade models from any combination of the included factors. As a basic example, we could test a strategy that only utilizes market structure. With Manual Exit turned off, we would simply be flipping long on bullish market structure shifts, and reversing short on bearish market structure shifts for the duration of the user-defined session.
As one might expect, such a simple strategy isn't expected to produce very reliable results by itself. However, we could build on these ideas by adding extra layers of Confluence, like looking for entries where Market Structure aligns with Order Block interactions. We could also turn on Manual Exit with a 40 tick stop loss and 80 tick profit target (10 points and 20 points, respectively, for ES futures), for more defined exit criteria.
One could expand on these ideas by adding factors like Fair Value Gaps, HTF Market Structure, etc. Any of the core pieces of SME can be used to build and backtest strategies that would otherwise be extremely tedious to do by hand, and as the SME indicator grows, so too will this backtesting script. Ultimately, the purpose of this is to make Smart Money Concepts more objective and easily testable so that users may better understand where these concepts may perform best.
