אינדיקטורים ואסטרטגיות
Tradex Daily BiasThis indicator is used by the Tradex team to analyze daily market bias using previous day high (PDH) and previous day low (PDL) levels. It calculates bullish or bearish bias based on how the current price interacts with yesterday’s high/low and candle closes. Designed to maintain a consistent daily bias across all timeframes.
Features :
Shows PDH and PDL lines with labels directly on the chart.
Displays a daily bias table (Bullish / Bearish) on all timeframes.
Works on any chart timeframe lower timeframe charts inherit the daily bias.
Star SMC and Price action [ARule]This script is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) + Price Action + VWAP + Swing Zones indicator.
It detects and draws:
✅ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✅ Imbalances (HTF FVG)
✅ BOS / CHoCH (Market Structure)
✅ Internal & Swing Structure
✅ Order Blocks (Internal + Swing)
✅ Equal High / Equal Low (EQH / EQL)
✅ Premium / Discount Zones
✅ Multi-Timeframe High & Low levels
✅ VWAP trend filter
✅ Swing High / Low zones with volume/count filter
✅ Alerts for all major SMC events
👉 Basically:
💎 “All-in-one institutional trading indicator”
✅ 1) HTF FVG / Imbalance System (First Part)
This part:
Uses multiple higher timeframes:
5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W
Detects imbalance (FVG-like gaps)
Draws boxes on chart
Marks mitigated zones
Adds labels like: 5m, 15m, 1H etc.
Logic:
An imbalance forms when:
current high < previous low (gap down)
or
current low > previous high (gap up)
Then it draws a box 📦
✅ 2) Mitigation Logic (Very Important)
Your script checks when FVG is filled:
Options:
Wick filled
Body filled
Half filled
None
Example:
"Wick filled" => low <= imb.open
Meaning:
👉 Price touched the FVG → mark as mitigated.
✅ 3) Smart Money Concepts (SMC Core)
This huge section detects:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
When price breaks previous swing high/low.
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
Trend reversal signal.
Example:
Uptrend → break low → CHoCH bearish
Downtrend → break high → CHoCH bullish
✅ 4) Internal vs Swing Structure
Internal Structure:
Small moves (lower timeframe)
Fast signals ⚡
Swing Structure:
Major trend structure
Strong signals 💪
You can enable/disable both in settings.
✅ 5) Order Blocks (OB)
Detected when structure breaks.
Two types:
🟢 Bullish OB
🔴 Bearish OB
Logic:
Script finds last opposite candle before BOS/CHoCH.
Then draws OB box 📦
Also checks mitigation:
close > OB high → bearish OB broken
close < OB low → bullish OB broken
✅ 6) Equal High / Equal Low (Liquidity)
Detects liquidity zones:
EQH = Equal High
EQL = Equal Low
Logic:
If two highs/lows are close within ATR threshold.
Used for:
👉 Liquidity grab / stop hunt zones.
✅ 7) Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – Another System
This is separate from HTF imbalance.
Condition:
currentLow > high → bullish FVG
currentHigh < low → bearish FVG
Draws 2 boxes per FVG.
✅ 8) Premium / Discount Zones
Based on latest swing high & low:
Premium zone = top 50%
Discount zone = bottom 50%
Equilibrium = middle
Used in SMC for entries.
✅ 9) Multi-Timeframe High/Low Levels
Draws:
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
✅ 10) VWAP Filter (Your Added Block)
You added:
VWAP Line
vwapValue = ta.vwap(close)
Trend Filter
Bullish → price above VWAP
Bearish → price below VWAP
ATM / ITM / OTM logic
atm_condition = abs(close - vwap) <= 25
Meaning:
ATM = price near VWAP
ITM / OTM = based on VWAP direction
💡 This is NOT real option ATM — it's a conceptual filter.
✅ 11) Swing High / Low Zones (Last Part)
This part:
Detects swing highs & lows using pivot logic
Creates zones (boxes)
Counts touches or volume inside zone
Filters strong zones
Example:
More touches = stronger support/resistance
More volume = institutional interest
✅ What makes this script powerful 💎
It combines:
Concept Purpose
FVG / Imbalance Institutional gaps
BOS / CHoCH Trend change
Order Blocks Smart money zones
EQH/EQL Liquidity
Premium/Discount Entry zones
VWAP Trend filter
Swing Zones Support/Resistance
👉 This is almost like ICT + SMC + Volume + VWAP hybrid.
✅ If you want, I can help you:
I can:
✅ Simplify this script (remove heavy parts)
✅ Add NIFTY / BANKNIFTY option logic
✅ Add Buy/Sell signals
✅ Add scanner (BOS + VWAP + FVG)
✅ Add dashboard table
✅ Optimize performance (reduce lag)
✅ Convert VWAP → real ATM strike logic
✅ Explain any part line-by-line
Risk-Reward R:RO/RR (Opportunity / Risk-Reward)
- Direction
→ Shows whether the trade setup is **Long** (buy) or **Short** (sell).
→ Displayed in green (Long) or red (Short) for quick visual recognition.
- Entry Price
→ The planned price where you want to enter the trade.
→ If you set it to **0**, it automatically uses the **current candle close price**.
- Stop Loss (SL)
→ The price level where you want to exit the trade if it goes against you (your max allowed loss).
→ Shown as a red dashed line + price label.
→ Also shown in % distance from entry (e.g. 2.0%).
- Target 1 (TP1)
→ First profit target / partial take-profit level.
→ Shown as a teal solid line + label.
→ Default is 4% (but you can change it).
- Target 2 (TP2)
→ Second (usually main or final) profit target.
→ Shown as a brighter aqua/cyan solid line + label.
→ Default is 8% (but adjustable).
- Risk-Reward Ratio (RR)
Two values are calculated and displayed:
- **RR Ratio T1** → how many units of reward per 1 unit of risk to reach **Target 1**
Example: 1 : 2.0 → you risk $1 to potentially make $2
- **RR Ratio T2** → same calculation but using **Target 2** (usually higher)
Example: 1 : 4.0 → you risk $1 to potentially make $4
- Visual Risk & Reward Zones (optional – toggle with "Show RR Boxes")
→ Red transparent box = **risk zone** (from entry → stop loss)
→ Teal transparent box = **reward zone** (from entry → Target 2)
→ Helps you quickly see visually whether the reward area is significantly larger than the risk area.
- Dashboard / Table (small info panel)
→ Appears in one of the four corners (you choose position)
→ Shows all key numbers at a glance:
• Direction
• Entry price
• Stop loss (% and price)
• RR for TP1
• RR for TP2
In short:
This indicator draws your planned trade levels (Entry, SL, TP1, TP2) directly on the chart, calculates the actual **risk:reward ratios**, and shows everything clearly in lines + labels + a small dashboard — so you can quickly judge "Is this trade worth taking?" purely from a **reward-to-risk** point of view.
Very useful for trade planning, journaling, or sharing setups with others.

XAUUSD Gold 5-Min Scalping Indicator⚡ XAUUSD 5-Min Scalping Strategy — Moving Average + Engulfing Confirmation
This professionally coded TradingView strategy is built for Gold scalpers who want clean, rule-based entries without repainting. It combines a triple moving average trend filter, engulfing confirmation logic, and RSI divergence exits to create a structured, repeatable system for XAUUSD on 5-minute charts.
🔗 Source & Inspiration
This system is inspired by the educational breakdown by "The Moving Average".
All conceptual credit belongs to the original creator.
Video reference:
youtu.be
This listing provides a fully enhanced and expanded version of that concept, coded into a complete TradingView indicator/strategy with TP/SL modules, alerts, divergence exits, multi-style risk management, and full Pine Script source code.
This listing provides two complete TradingView scripts:
✅ Version 1 — Indicator (Signals + Alerts Only)
Buy/Sell signals based on trend + engulfing confirmation
No TP/SL engine
Includes full alert functionality
Perfect for automation with trading bots (3Commas, PineConnector, Tickerly)
Ideal if you want to plug signal-only logic directly into a bot or copy-trading workflow
✅ Version 2 — Strategy (Backtest + TP/SL Engine)
Full strategy framework with ready-made Take Profit & Stop Loss modules
Includes break-even, trailing stops, ATR exits, RSI divergence exits
Plots entry, TP, SL lines on chart
Provides detailed backtesting, optimization, and forward-testing
Best for refined strategy development and statistical testing
📌 Both versions are included with your purchase to give complete flexibility—
signal-only automation + full TP/SL backtesting.
💡 How It Works
The system uses a multi-layer confirmation approach. First, trend direction is determined using the 21/50/200 moving averages with a built-in minimum spread filter to avoid choppy markets. Then, it detects a 3-line strike pattern followed by a strong engulfing candle that covers a configurable percentage of the previous range. Only when all trend and price-action rules align does the system generate a Buy or Sell signal. Optional RSI divergence logic can be used to exit early when reversal pressure forms.
🟢 Long Setup
Uptrend confirmed by MA 21 > MA 50 > MA 200
MA spread above threshold to avoid sideways noise
Three consecutive bearish candles
A bullish engulfing candle covering a user-defined percentage
→ System triggers a Buy signal on bar close
🔴 Short Setup
Downtrend confirmed by MA 21 < MA 50 < MA 200
MA spread above threshold to ensure clear trend
Three consecutive bullish candles
A bearish engulfing candle covering a user-defined percentage
→ System triggers a Sell signal on bar close

EstongA Scalping Multi-TF*Here’s a consolidated list of warnings and advice for traders, whether you're just starting or are experienced:
⚠️ Critical Warnings
1. You can lose all your capital – Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Never trade with money you can’t afford to lose.
2. Avoid leverage until you fully understand it – Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Many traders get wiped out by over-leveraging.
3. Beware of "guaranteed profit" systems – If it sounds too good to be true, it is. No strategy works all the time.
4. Emotional trading is a career killer – Fear, greed, and revenge trading destroy accounts.
5. Don’t follow tips or "hot leads" blindly – Do your own analysis. Many influencers are secretly unloading positions onto followers.
📚 Essential Advice
Mindset & Psychology
• Treat trading like a business, not gambling. Have a plan for every trade.
• Develop patience – Wait for high-probability setups; don’t force trades.
• Accept losses as part of the game – Even the best traders have losing streaks. The key is risk management.
• Keep a trading journal – Record every trade: entry/exit reasoning, emotional state, outcome. Review weekly.
Risk Management (Non-Negotiable)
• Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade – This protects you from ruin during a losing streak.
• Always use stop-losses – Decide your stop-loss BEFORE entering a trade.
• Never add to a losing position ("averaging down") – This is how small losses become catastrophes.
• Have a risk/reward ratio of at least 1:2 – Aim for potential profit to be at least double your potential loss.
Strategy & Education
• Master one market/strategy at a time – Don’t jump between forex, stocks, crypto, and options simultaneously.
• Backtest and forward-test any strategy before using real money.
• Understand market context – Are you in a trending or ranging market? Adjust your strategy accordingly.
• Continuously educate yourself – Markets evolve. Stay updated, but avoid constantly switching strategies.
Practical Habits
• Start with a demo account – Prove you can be consistently profitable before using real money.
• When moving to real money, start small – The psychology changes with real money on the line.
• Set trading hours and stick to them – Avoid overtrading and burnout.
• Regularly withdraw profits – Secure gains and reinforce the reality of your earnings.
🚨 Red Flags in Yourself
• Chasing losses – Trying to immediately recoup a loss leads to bigger losses.
• Overconfidence after wins – Leads to taking oversized, reckless trades.
• Ignoring your trading plan – If you’re making exceptions, you don’t have a plan.
• Blaming the market or others – You are responsible for every trade. Take ownership.
🔍 Choosing a Broker/Platform
• Regulation is crucial – Ensure they are licensed by a reputable authority (FCA, SEC, ASIC, etc.).
• Understand all fees – Spreads, commissions, overnight financing, withdrawal fees.
• Test customer support – You need them in a crisis.
• Start with a well-known, established broker – Avoid obscure platforms with offers that seem too good.
💡 Final Wisdom
• Preservation of capital is more important than making profits. Survive to trade another day.
• The market will always be there – Missing an opportunity is better than taking a bad trade.
• Trading is a marathon of consistency, not a sprint for mega-returns.
• If you're consistently losing, stop, step back, and re-evaluate. Sometimes the best trade is no trade.
Remember, approximately 90% of retail traders lose money. To be in the successful 10%, you need discipline, continuous learning, and emotional control more than a "perfect" strategy. Good luck.

TruFREND EeeZee Confluence | Trend & Momentum FilterConcept & Purpose TruFREND EeeZee Confluence is a "Trend Vitality" engine designed to filter out noise. It solves the problem of "False Signals" by aggregating multiple trend methodologies into a single, objective Confluence Health Score (0-100%).
This is the "Specialist Module" for traders who already have an entry strategy but lack a reliable way to confirm the macro trend direction.
Differentiation & Originality Note on Logic: This script is a "Trend Module" derived from the TruFREND ecosystem. It advances beyond simple Moving Averages by using a "Weighted Evidence" approach:
The Confluence Score: Instead of a simple "Bull/Bear" label, the script calculates a granular percentage score (e.g., "75% Bullish") by weighing 8+ different factors including TEMA ribbons, Ichimoku Clouds, and Gator metrics .
TDI Integration: Includes a built-in "Traders Dynamic Index" (TDI) state engine to detect momentum shifts before price action confirms them .
MACD Decay: Features a "Momentum Decay" logic that penalizes the Trend Score if MACD crosses against the trend, warning of early reversals .
How It Works The script acts as a "Jury," voting on the trend direction:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Automatically checks Daily, 4H, and 30M trends. If they align, the Score increases .
Fractal Patterns: Detects "Higher High/Higher Low" structures to confirm market structure integrity .
The Filter:
Score > 75%: Optimal Confluence (Strong Trend).
Score < 50%: Weak/Choppy (No Trade Zone).
Key Features
Confluence Panel: Displays the status of every trend component (TEMA, Ichimoku, RSI, Gator) in a clean table.
Trend Ribbons: Visualizes the 3-Stage Trend (Macro, Structure, Micro) using adaptive TEMA lines.
Exit Warnings: Automatically alerts when momentum (MACD) diverges from price, signaling a potential exit .
Risk Disclaimer This tool is for educational trend analysis only. Past trend performance is not indicative of future results. Always manage risk responsibly.
