IU Range Trading StrategyIU Range Trading Strategy
The IU Range Trading Strategy is designed to identify range-bound markets and take trades based on defined price ranges. This strategy uses a combination of price ranges and ATR (Average True Range) to filter entry conditions and incorporates a trailing stop-loss mechanism for better trade management.
User Inputs:
- Range Length: Defines the number of bars to calculate the highest and lowest price range (default: 10).
- ATR Length: Sets the length of the ATR calculation (default: 14).
- ATR Stop-Loss Factor: Determines the multiplier for the ATR-based stop-loss (default: 2.00).
Entry Conditions:
1. A range is identified when the difference between the highest and lowest prices over the selected range is less than or equal to 1.75 times the ATR.
2. Once a valid range is formed:
- A long trade is triggered at the range high.
- A short trade is triggered at the range low.
Exit Conditions:
1. Trailing Stop-Loss:
- The stop-loss adjusts dynamically using ATR targets.
- The strategy locks in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. The stop-loss and take-profit levels are visually plotted for transparency and easier decision-making.
Features:
- Automated box creation to visualize the trading range.
- Supports one position at a time, canceling opposite-side entries.
- ATR-based trailing stop-loss for effective risk management.
- Clear visual representation of stop-loss and take-profit levels with colored bands.
This strategy works best in markets with defined ranges and can help traders identify breakout opportunities when the price exits the range.
Fibonacci Extension Strt StrategyCore Logic and Steps:
Weekly Trend Identification:
Find the last significant Higher High (HH) and Lower Low (LL) or vice-versa on the Weekly timeframe.
Determine if it's an uptrend (HH followed by LL) or a downtrend (LL followed by HH).
Plot a Fibonacci Extension (or Retracement in reverse order) from the swing point determined to the other significant swing point.
Weekly Retracement Levels:
Display horizontal lines at the 0.236, 0.382, and 0.5 Fibonacci levels from the weekly extension.
Monitor price action on these levels.
Daily Confirmation:
When price hits the Fib levels, examine the Daily chart.
Look for a rejection wick (indicating the pull back is ending) on the identified weekly retracement levels.
Confirm that the price is indeed starting to continue in the direction of the original weekly trend.
Four-Hour Entry:
On the 4H timeframe, plot a new Fib Extension in the opposite direction of the weekly.
If it's an uptrend, the Fib is plotted from last swing low to its swing high. If the weekly trend was bearish the Fib will be plotted from last swing high to the swing low.
Generate an entry when price breaks the high of that candle.
Trade Management:
Entry is on the breakout of the current candle.
Stop Loss: Place the stop loss below the wick of the breakout candle.
Take Profit 1: Close 50% of the position at the 0.5 Fibonacci level. Move the stop loss to breakeven on this position.
Take Profit 2: Close another 25% of the position at the 0.236 Fib level.
Trailing Take Profit: Keep the last 25% open, using a trailing stop loss. (You'll need to define the logic for the trailing stop, e.g., trailing stop using the last high/low)
How to Use in TradingView:
Open a TradingView Chart.
Click on "Pine Editor" at the bottom.
Copy and paste the corrected Pine Script code.
Click "Add to Chart".
The indicator should now be displayed on your chart.

Adaptive Moving Averagewhat is the purpose of the indicator?
When short-length moving averages are used as trailing stops, they cause exiting the trade too early. Keeping the length value too high will result in exiting the transaction too late and losing most of the profits earned. I aimed to prevent this problem with this indicator.
what is "Adaptive Moving Average"?
it is a moving average that can change its length on each candle depending on the selected source.
what it does?
The indicator first finds the average lengths of the existing candles and defines different distances accordingly. When the moving average drawn by the indicator enters the area defined as "far" by the indicator, the indicator reduces the length of the moving average, preventing it from moving too far from the price, and continues to do so at different rates until the moving average gets close enough to the price. If the moving average gets close enough to the price, it starts to increase the length of the average and thus the adaptation continues.
how it does it?
Since the change of each trading pair is different in percentage terms, I chose to base the average height of the candles instead of using constant percentage values to define the concept of "far". While doing this, I used a weighted moving average so that the system could quickly adapt to the latest changes (you can see it on line 17). After calculating what percentage of the moving average this value is, I caused the length of the moving average to change in each bar depending on the multiples of this percentage value that the price moved away from the average (look at line 20, 21 and 22). Finally, I created a new moving average using this new length value I obtained.
how to use it?
Although the indicator chooses its own length, we have some inputs to customize it. First of all, we can choose which source we will use the moving average on. The "source" input allows us to use it with other indicators.
"max length" and "min length" determine the maximum and minimum value that the length of the moving average can take.
Apart from this, there are options for you to add a standard moving average to the chart so that you can compare the adaptive moving average, and bollinger band channels that you can use to create different strategies.
This indicator was developed due to the need for a more sophisticated trailing stop, but once you understand how it works, it is completely up to you to combine it with other indicators and create different strategies.

SMA Buy/Sell Strategy with Significant Slope and Dynamic TP/SLDescription:
This strategy uses a simple moving average (SMA) to detect trading opportunities based on the slope and proximity of price action. It ensures trades are only executed during significant trends, reducing false signals caused by sideways movements. The strategy incorporates dynamic risk management with an initial ambitious Take Profit (TP) and a Trailing Stop Loss (SL) to protect profits.
Key Features:
Trend Detection with SMA:
Two SMAs are calculated: one on High values and one on Low values.
Signals are generated when the price crosses these SMAs, ensuring:
Buy: Price closes above the SMA on High, with a significant upward slope.
Sell: Price closes below the SMA on Low, with a significant downward slope.
Slope Significance Check:
The slope of the SMA is calculated over a configurable period.
Only trends with a slope variation exceeding a user-defined percentage threshold are considered significant.
Dynamic Risk Management:
Ambitious Initial TP: Positions target a high percentage gain upon entry.
Trailing SL: Automatically adjusts as the price moves in favor of the trade, locking in profits.
Automatic Position Management:
Opposing signals close existing positions to avoid conflicting trades.
Configurable position size for risk control.
Parameters:
SMA Period: Number of candles for calculating the SMA.
Initial Take Profit (%): Percentage gain for the initial TP.
Trailing Stop Loss (%): Percentage for trailing SL based on the current price.
Slope Threshold (%): Minimum percentage change in SMA slope to confirm trend significance.
How It Works:
Buy Signal:
The price closes above the SMA on High values.
The slope of the SMA (on High) is positive and exceeds the slope threshold.
Sell Signal:
The price closes below the SMA on Low values.
The slope of the SMA (on Low) is negative and exceeds the slope threshold.
Exits:
A position closes at the Take Profit level, Trailing Stop Loss, or when an opposing signal is generated.
Use Case:
This strategy is ideal for trending markets where price action respects moving averages. It can be used on any timeframe or asset but is particularly effective in markets with clear directional movements.
Recommended Settings:
Timeframe: Works well on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily).
Slope Threshold (%): Default is 5%, adjust based on market volatility.
Initial TP and Trailing SL: Tailor to your risk/reward preferences.
By utilizing this strategy, traders can capitalize on significant market trends while dynamically managing risk. Test it on historical data to optimize the parameters for your preferred market!
Bewakoof stock indicator**Title**: "Bewakoof Stock Indicator: Multi-Timeframe RSI and SuperTrend Entry-Exit System"
---
### Description
The **Bewakoof Stock Indicator** is an original trading tool that combines multi-timeframe RSI analysis with the SuperTrend indicator to create reliable entry and exit signals for trending markets. This indicator is designed for traders looking to follow strong trends with built-in risk management. By filtering entries through short- and long-term momentum and utilizing dynamic trailing exits, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading.
#### Indicator Components
1. **Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis**:
- The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is calculated across three timeframes: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
- By examining multiple timeframes, the indicator confirms that trends align over short, medium, and long-term intervals, making buy signals more reliable.
- **Buy Condition**: All three RSI values must meet these thresholds:
- **Daily RSI > 50** – indicates short-term upward momentum,
- **Weekly RSI > 60** – signals medium-term strength,
- **Monthly RSI > 60** – confirms long-term trend alignment.
- This filtering process ensures that buy signals are generated only in stable, upward-trending markets.
2. **SuperTrend Confirmation**:
- The SuperTrend (20-period ATR with a multiplier of 2) acts as a trend filter and trailing stop mechanism.
- For a buy condition to be valid, the closing price must be above the SuperTrend level, verifying that the market is trending up.
- The combination of RSI and SuperTrend helps to avoid false signals, focusing only on well-established trends.
#### Trade Signals
- **Buy Signal**: When both the multi-timeframe RSI and SuperTrend conditions are met, a buy signal is triggered, indicated by a “BUY” label on the chart with details:
- **Entry Price**,
- **Initial Stop-Loss** (set at the SuperTrend level for risk control),
- **Target 1** – calculated with a 1:1 risk-reward ratio based on the initial stop-loss,
- **Target 2** – calculated with a 1:2 risk-reward ratio based on the initial stop-loss.
- **Exit Signals**: This indicator provides two exit strategies to protect profits:
1. **Fixed Stop-Loss**: Automatically set at the SuperTrend level at the time of entry to limit risk.
2. **Trailing Exit**: Exits are triggered if the price crosses below the SuperTrend level, adapting to potential trend reversals.
#### Labeling & Alerts
The **Bewakoof Stock Indicator** offers intuitive labeling and alert options:
- **Labels**: Buy and exit points are clearly marked, showing entry, stop-loss, and targets directly on the chart.
- **Alerts**: Custom alerts can be set for:
- **Buy signals** when both conditions are met, and
- **Exit signals** triggered by the stop-loss or trailing exit.
#### Use Case and Benefits
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders who value risk control and trend confirmation:
- **Stronger Trend Signals**: By requiring RSI alignment across multiple timeframes, this indicator focuses only on trades with strong trend momentum.
- **Dynamic Risk Management**: Using both fixed and trailing exits enables flexible trade management, balancing risk and potential reward.
- **Simple Trade Execution**: The chart labels and alerts simplify trade decisions, making it easy to enter, manage, and exit trades.
#### How to Use
1. **Add** the Bewakoof Stock Indicator to your chart.
2. **Watch** for the "BUY" label as your entry point.
3. **Manage the trade** using the labeled stop-loss and target levels.
4. **Exit** on either a stop-loss hit or when the price crosses below the SuperTrend for a trailing exit.
The **Bewakoof Stock Indicator** is a complete solution for trend-following traders, combining the strength of multi-timeframe RSI with the SuperTrend’s trend-following capabilities. This systematic approach aims to provide high-confidence entries and effective risk management, empowering traders to follow trends with precision and control.
Mean Reversion Indictor, Based on Standard Deviations Description:
The Reversal Candle Mean Reversion Indicator is designed for traders seeking to identify potential reversal points in the market based on key price action and volatility. This indicator combines price action analysis (sweeping prior highs or lows) with mean reversion theory, highlighting opportunities where the price tests or touches a moving average's standard deviation bands.
By focusing on these moments of price extremes, the indicator helps traders spot bullish and bearish reversal signals when the price retraces from volatile movements. These conditions often signal a return to the mean—an ideal setup for reversal traders who thrive on fading exaggerated price moves.
How It Works:
1. Price Action Reversal Signal:
* Bullish Reversal: The indicator flags a bullish signal when the current candle's low sweeps the prior candle's low, and the candle closes higher than the prior candle's close.
* Bearish Reversal: The indicator flags a bearish signal when the current candle's high sweeps the prior candle's high, and the candle closes lower than the prior candle's close.
2. Mean Reversion Confirmation:
* Mean Reversion Signal is triggered when the price touches or tests the upper or lower bands, calculated using a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or Hull MA) and standard deviation.
* The indicator combines price action and volatility, providing stronger reversal signals when the price reaches an extreme distance from the moving average.
3. Customization Options:
* Moving Average Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or Hull MA.
* Moving Average Length: Adjust the length of the moving average (default: 20).
* Standard Deviation Multiplier: Set the number of standard deviations for the volatility bands (default: 2.0).
* Custom Candle Colors: Choose custom colors for bullish and bearish reversal candles to easily spot signals.
How to Use for Trading Reversals:
1. Identify Extremes:
* Watch for candles where the price tests or touches the standard deviation bands. These are key moments when the price has moved significantly from the moving average, indicating a potential overbought or oversold condition.
2. Look for Reversals:
* When the price tests a band and simultaneously forms a bullish reversal pattern (sweeping the prior low and closing higher), it signals a potential mean reversion to the upside.
* When the price tests a band and forms a bearish reversal pattern (sweeping the prior high and closing lower), it signals a potential mean reversion to the downside.
3. Entry Points:
* Long Trades: Enter a long trade after a bullish signal appears (green candle) near the lower band, indicating a likely price reversal back towards the mean.
* Short Trades: Enter a short trade after a bearish signal appears (red candle) near the upper band, indicating a likely price pullback.
4. Exit Strategy:
* Set a profit target at the moving average (the mean) or a specific price level based on your strategy.
* Consider using a trailing stop to capture additional profit in case of a stronger reversal beyond the mean.
5. Risk Management:
* Place stops just below the low of the bullish reversal candle or just above the high of the bearish reversal candle to manage risk efficiently.
Trend Magic with EMA, SMA, and Auto-TradingRelease Notes
Strategy Name: Trend Magic with EMA, SMA, and Auto-Trading
Purpose: This strategy is designed to capture entry and exit points in the market using the Trend Magic indicator and three moving averages (EMA45, SMA90, and SMA180). Specifically, it uses the perfect order of the moving averages and the color changes in Trend Magic to identify trend reversals and potential trading opportunities.
Uniqueness and Usefulness
Uniqueness: The strategy utilizes the Trend Magic indicator, which is based on price and volatility, along with three moving averages to assess the strength of trends. The signals are generated only when the moving averages are in perfect order, and the Trend Magic color changes, ensuring that the entry is made during established trends. This combination provides a higher degree of reliability compared to strategies that rely solely on price action or single indicators.
Usefulness: This strategy is particularly useful for traders looking to capture trends over longer periods. It is effective at reducing noise in the market, only providing signals when the moving averages align and the Trend Magic indicator confirms a trend reversal. It works well in both trending and volatile markets.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
Condition: A perfect order (EMA45 > SMA90 > SMA180) is established, and Trend Magic changes color from red to blue.
Signal: A buy signal is generated, indicating the start of an uptrend.
Short Entry:
Condition: A perfect order (EMA45 < SMA90 < SMA180) is established, and Trend Magic changes color from blue to red.
Signal: A sell signal is generated, indicating the start of a downtrend.
Exit Conditions
Exit Strategy:
This strategy automatically enters and exits trades based on signals, but traders are encouraged to manage exits manually according to their own risk management preferences. The strategy includes stop loss and take profit settings based on risk-to-reward ratios for better risk management.
Risk Management
The strategy includes built-in risk management by using the SMA90 level at the time of entry as the stop-loss point and setting the take profit at a 1:1.5 risk-to-reward ratio. The stop-loss level is fixed at the entry point and does not move as the market progresses. Traders are advised to implement additional risk management, such as trailing stops, for added protection.
Account Size: ¥100,000
Commissions and Slippage: Assumes 94 pips for commissions and 1 pip for slippage per trade
Risk per Trade: 10% of account equity (adjust this based on personal risk tolerance)

ICT Indicator with Paper TradingThe strategy implemented in the provided Pine Script is based on **ICT (Inner Circle Trader)** concepts, particularly focusing on **order blocks** to identify key levels for potential reversals or continuations in the market. Below is a detailed description of the strategy:
### 1. **Order Block Concept**
- **Order blocks** are price levels where large institutional orders accumulate, often leading to a reversal or continuation of price movement.
- In this strategy, **order blocks** are identified when:
- The high of the current bar crosses above the high of the previous bar (for bullish order blocks).
- The low of the current bar crosses below the low of the previous bar (for bearish order blocks).
### 2. **Buy and Sell Signal Generation**
The core of the strategy revolves around identifying the **breakout** of order blocks, which is interpreted as a signal to either enter or exit trades:
- **Buy Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **above** the last identified bullish order block (i.e., the highest point during the last upward crossover of highs).
- This signals a potential upward trend, and the strategy enters a long position.
- **Sell Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **below** the last identified bearish order block (i.e., the lowest point during the last downward crossover of lows).
- This signals a potential downward trend, and the strategy exits any open long positions.
### 3. **Strategy Execution**
The strategy is executed using the `strategy.entry()` and `strategy.close()` functions:
- **Enter Long Positions**: When a buy signal is generated, the strategy opens a long position (buying).
- **Exit Positions**: When a sell signal is generated, the strategy closes the long position.
### 4. **Visual Indicators on the Chart**
To make the strategy easier to follow visually, buy and sell signals are marked directly on the chart:
- **Buy signals** are indicated with a green upward-facing triangle above the bar where the signal occurred.
- **Sell signals** are indicated with a red downward-facing triangle below the bar where the signal occurred.
### 5. **Key Elements of the Strategy**
- **Trend Continuation and Reversals**: This strategy is attempting to capture trends based on the breakout of important price levels (order blocks). When the price breaks above or below a significant order block, it is expected that the market will continue in that direction.
- **Order Block Strength**: Order blocks are considered strong areas where price action could reverse or accelerate, based on how institutional investors place large orders.
### 6. **Paper Trading**
This script uses **paper trading** to simulate trades without actual money being involved. This allows users to backtest the strategy, seeing how it would have performed in historical market conditions.
### 7. **Basic Strategy Flow**
1. **Order Block Identification**: The script constantly monitors price movements to detect bullish and bearish order blocks.
2. **Buy Signal**: If the closing price crosses above the last order block high, the strategy interprets it as a sign of bullish momentum and enters a long position.
3. **Sell Signal**: If the closing price crosses below the last order block low, it signals a bearish momentum, and the strategy closes the long position.
4. **Visual Representation**: Buy and sell signals are displayed on the chart for easy identification.
### **Advantages of the Strategy:**
- **Simple and Clear Rules**: The strategy is based on clearly defined rules for identifying order blocks and trade signals.
- **Effective for Trend Following**: By focusing on breakouts of order blocks, this strategy attempts to capture strong trends in the market.
- **Visual Aids**: The plot of buy/sell signals helps traders to quickly see where trades would have been placed.
### **Limitations:**
- **No Shorting**: This strategy only enters long positions (buying). It does not account for shorting opportunities.
- **No Risk Management**: There are no built-in stop losses, trailing stops, or profit targets, which could expose the strategy to large losses during adverse market conditions.
- **Whipsaws in Range Markets**: The strategy could produce false signals in sideways or choppy markets, where breakouts are short-lived and prices quickly reverse.
### **Overall Strategy Objective:**
The goal of the strategy is to enter into long positions when the price breaks above a significant order block, and exit when it breaks below. The strategy is designed for trend-following, with the assumption that price will continue in the direction of the breakout.

D-Shape Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The D-Shape Breakout Signals indicator uses a unique and novel technique to provide support/resistance curves, a trailing stop loss line, and visual breakout signals from semi-circular shapes.
🔶 USAGE
D-shape is a new concept where the distance between two Swing points is used to create a semi-circle/arc, where the width is expressed as a user-defined percentage of the radius. The resulting arc can be used as a potential support/resistance as well as a source of breakouts.
Users can adjust this percentage (width of the D-shape) in the settings ( "D-Width" ), which will influence breakouts and the Stop-Loss line.
🔹 Breakouts of D-Shape
The arc of this D-shape is used for detecting breakout signals between the price and the curve. Only one breakout per D-shape can occur.
A breakout is highlighted with a colored dot, signifying its location, with a green dot being used when the top part of the arc is exceeded, and red when the bottom part of the arc is surpassed.
When the price reaches the right side of the arc without breaking the arc top/bottom, a blue-colored dot is highlighted, signaling a "Neutral Breakout".
🔹 Trailing Stop-Loss Line
The script includes a Trailing Stop-Loss line (TSL), which is only updated when a breakout of the D-Shape occurs. The TSL will return the midline of the D-Shape subject to a breakout.
The TSL can be used as a stop-loss or entry-level but can also act as a potential support/resistance level or trend visualization.
🔶 DETAILS
A D-shape will initially be colored green when a Swing Low is followed by a Swing High, and red when a Swing Low is followed by a Swing High.
A breakout of the upper side of the D-shape will always update the color to green or to red when the breakout occurs in the lower part. A Neutral Breakout will result in a blue-colored D-shape. The transparency is lowered in the event of a breakout.
In the event of a D-shape breakout, the shape will be removed when the total number of visible D-Shapes exceeds the user set "Minimum Patterns" setting. Any D-shape whose boundaries have not been exceeded (and therefore still active) will remain visible.
🔹 Trailing Stop-Loss Line
Only when a breakout occurs will the midline of the D-shape closest to the closing price potentially become the new Trailing Stop value.
The script will only consider middle lines below the closing price on an upward breakout or middle lines above the closing price when it concerns a downward breakout.
In an uptrend, with an already available green TSL, the potential new Stop-Loss value must be higher than the previous TSL value; while in a downtrend, the new TSL value must be lower.
The Stop-Loss line won't be updated when a "Neutral Breakout" occurs.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 D-Patterns
Minimum Patterns: Minimum amount of visible D-Shape patterns.
D-Width: Width of the D-Shape as a percentage of the distance between both Swing Points.
Included Swings: Include "Swing High" (followed by a Swing Low), "Swing Low" (followed by a Swing High), or "Both"
Style Historical Patterns: Show the "Arc", "Midline" or "Both" of historical patterns.
🔹 Style
Label Size/Colors
Connecting Swing Level: Shows a line connecting the first Swing Point.
Color Fill: colorfill of Trailing Stop-Loss
PVT Crossover Strategy**Release Notes**
**Strategy Name**: PVT Crossover Strategy
**Purpose**: This strategy aims to capture entry and exit points in the market using the Price-Volume Trend (PVT) and its Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It specifically uses the crossover of PVT with its EMA as signals to identify changes in market trends.
**Uniqueness and Usefulness**
**Uniqueness**: This strategy is unique in its use of the PVT indicator, which combines price changes with trading volume to track trends. The filtering with EMA reduces noise and provides more accurate signals compared to other indicators.
**Usefulness**: This strategy is effective for traders looking to detect trend changes early. The signals based on PVT and its EMA crossover work particularly well in markets where volume fluctuations are significant.
**Entry Conditions**
**Long Entry**:
- **Condition**: A crossover occurs where PVT crosses above its EMA.
- **Signal**: A buy signal is generated, indicating a potential uptrend.
**Short Entry**:
- **Condition**: A crossunder occurs where PVT crosses below its EMA.
- **Signal**: A sell signal is generated, indicating a potential downtrend.
**Exit Conditions**
**Exit Strategy**:
- The strategy does not explicitly program exit conditions beyond the entry signals, but traders are encouraged to close positions manually based on signals or apply their own risk management strategy.
**Risk Management**
This strategy does not include default risk management rules, so traders should implement their own. Consider using trailing stops or fixed stop losses to manage risk.
**Account Size**: ¥100,000
**Commissions and Slippage**: 94 pips per trade for commissions and 1 pip for slippage
**Risk per Trade**: 10% of account equity
**Configurable Options**
**Configurable Options**:
- **EMA Length**: The length of the EMA used to calculate the EMA of PVT (default is 20).
- **Signal Display Control**: The option to turn the display of signals on or off.
**Adequate Sample Size**
To ensure the robustness and reliability of this strategy, it is recommended to backtest it with a sufficiently long period of historical data, especially across different market conditions.
**Credits**
**Acknowledgments**:

Clear Table Display: Presents key information like Stop Loss and Take Profit levels in a user-friendly table, making it easier to track trade targets.
How It Works
Supertrend Calculation: The Supertrend is calculated using ATR (Average True Range) to gauge market volatility. The script then creates buffer zones around the Supertrend line for refined signal generation.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy: When the close price crosses above the upper buffer zone, indicating a potential uptrend.
Sell: When the close price crosses below the lower buffer zone, suggesting a potential downtrend.
Take Profit & Stop Loss:
Take Profits: Three TP levels are calculated based on ATR and a customizable profit factor.
Stop Loss: The stop-loss can be set as either a fixed value based on ATR or as a trailing stop-loss that dynamically adjusts to lock in profits.
How To Use
Add the Indicator: Search for "Supertrend (Buy/Sell) With TP & SL" in the TradingView indicators list and add it to your chart.
Customize Inputs: Adjust parameters like ATR Period, Factor, Take Profit Factor, Stop Loss Factor, Stop Loss Type, etc., based on your trading style and preferences.
Interpret Signals: Look for buy signals when the price crosses above the upper buffer and sell signals when it crosses below the lower buffer.
Manage Risk: Use the plotted Take Profit and Stop Loss levels to manage your risk and potential rewards.
Concepts
Supertrend: A trend-following indicator that helps identify the direction of the prevailing trend.

Upward Slope on Flat Areas:
Adds a user-defined upward slope to the trailing stop loss when the price movement is flat.
The slope value is specified in 1/1000 increments (e.g., 0.1% per bar), allowing for fine-tuned control.
VWAP Suite, Session Cloud RevOverview
The VWAP Suite with Standard Deviation Strategy is a comprehensive indicator designed to help traders make informed trading decisions based on the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its associated standard deviation bands. This indicator provides multiple VWAP calculations for different timeframes (Session, Day, Week, Month) and incorporates standard deviation bands to identify potential trade entry and exit points.
Components
VWAP Calculation:
Session VWAP: VWAP calculated based on the current trading session.
Day VWAP: VWAP calculated for the daily timeframe.
Week VWAP: VWAP calculated for the weekly timeframe.
Month VWAP: VWAP calculated for the monthly timeframe.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The indicator includes three standard deviation bands (StDev 1, StDev 2, and StDev 3) around the VWAP. These bands help identify the dispersion of price from the VWAP, providing insight into potential overbought or oversold conditions.

Futures Auto Levels [NariCapitalTrading]Futures Auto Levels Indicator
Introduction
The "Futures Auto Levels" (FAL) indicator shows the previous day's levels, weekly open, high, low, and the Initial Balance Range (IBR).
Indicator Components
The FAL indicator comprises the following components:
Previous Day's Levels: These include the open, high, low, and close of the previous trading day. They are represented on the chart by lines and labels, helping to identify significant price levels from the prior session.
Weekly Open, High, Low: These levels represent the open, high, and low prices of the current trading week.
Initial Balance Range (IBR): The IBR is calculated based on the price range during the first 60 minutes of the trading day. It helps identify initial trading range and potential breakout levels.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Previous Day's Levels:
Monitor the previous day's open, high, low, and close to identify key support and resistance levels.
Use these levels to gauge market sentiment and potential price reversals.
2. Weekly Open, High, Low:
Pay attention to the weekly open, high, and low to understand the market's behavior within the weekly timeframe.
These levels can act as reference points for setting profit targets and stop-loss orders.
3. Initial Balance Range (IBR):
Watch for price movements within the IBR to identify potential trading opportunities.
Breakouts above or below the IBR may signal the beginning of a new trend or continuation of the current trend.
Suggested/Potential Strategies
Reversal Trading: Look for price reversals around previous day's levels, especially when they coincide with other technical indicators or significant support/resistance zones.
Trend Following: Follow the trend by trading breakouts above/below the IBR or weekly high/low levels. Use trailing stops to capture profits while the trend remains intact.
Range Trading: Trade within the IBR when the market is consolidating. Buy near the IBR low and sell near the IBR high, with tight stop-loss orders to manage risk.
Conclusion
The Futures Auto Levels indicator is designed to help incorporate levels into trading analysis and trading strategies to improve profitability and consistency.
TrailingTakeProfit exampleQuite recently I came upon a concept of Trailing Take Profit and I couldn't find a PineScript which implements it for the fastest possible execution, so here it is :)
Everybody knows Trailing StopLoss - an invisible mechanism follows the price and exits the trade once the price retreats too much from its recent most extended favourable value. Trailing TakeProfit does the similar thing, but at the opposite end - the trade gets closed if a price moves too well, in too favourable extent.
Why close the trade if it is going so good? Well, whatever goes up, must go down and vice versa. It is expected, that after fast rally a market will soon fall and after a dump it will go up. So Trailing TakeProfit's role is to secure profits.
But how does Trailing TakeProfit differ from the standard one? "Trailing" means, the exit level is moving. Its role is to be executed only after a rapid favourable move within 1-2 candles, not more. We never know when a rapid move happens, but when it does, we wanna catch those pips and quickly exit without looking back.
Visually Trailing TakeProfit levels are... bands. In this script example these are ATR multiplied bands (aka Keltner Channel), but they could also be Bollinger Bands or something else.
The code is simple just to focus on this single functionality, so you can quickly copy-paste it into your script. Entries are triggered by default SMA crosses.
P.S. I wouldn't be myself, if I didn't add alert messages compatible with the syntax of recently revamped TradingConnector - both in the code already and in the table showing them.
Contrarian DC Strategy - w Entry SL Pause and TrailingStopDonchian Channel Setup:
The strategy uses a tool called the Donchian Channel. Imagine this as two lines (bands) on a chart that show the highest and lowest prices over a certain number of past trading days (default is 20 days).
There's also a centerline, which is the average of these two bands.
Entry Conditions for Trades:
Buying (Going Long): The strategy considers buying when the price touches or falls below the lower band of the Donchian Channel. However, this only happens if there has been a pause after a previous losing trade. This pause is a number of candles where no new trades are taken.
Selling (Going Short): Similarly, the strategy considers selling when price reaches or exceeds the upper band of the Donchian Channel. Again, this is subject to a pause after a losing trade.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Each trade has a "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit" set. The Stop Loss is a preset price level where the trade will close to prevent further losses if the market moves against your position. The Take Profit does the same but locks in profit if the market moves in your favor.
The Stop Loss is set based on a percentage of the price at which you entered the trade.
The Take Profit is determined by the Risk/Reward Ratio. This ratio helps balance how much you're willing to risk versus the potential reward.
Trailing Stop Loss:
When a trade is profitable, the strategy should involve a "Trailing Stop Loss." This means the Stop Loss level moves (or trails) the price movement to lock in profits as the market moves in your favor.
For a buy trade, if the price moves above the centerline of the Donchian Channel, the Trailing Stop Loss should be adjusted in the middle between the entry price and the centerline. Viceversa for a sell trade, it should be adjusted in the same way if the price goes below the centerline.
IMPORTANT: There's no allert for the trailing stop at the moment.
Post-Stop Loss Pause:
If a trade hits the Stop Loss (i.e., it's a losing trade), the strategy takes a break before opening another trade in the same direction. This pause helps to avoid entering another trade immediately in a potentially unfavorable market.
In summary, this strategy is designed to make trades based on the Donchian Channel, with specific rules for when to enter and exit trades, and mechanisms to manage risk and protect profits. It's contrarian because it tends to buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high, which is opposite to what many traders might do.

3. Strategy Overview
What is the Supertrend Advance Strategy?
The Supertrend Advance Strategy is a refined version of the classic Supertrend Indicator, which was developed to aid traders in spotting market trends. The strategy utilizes a combination of data points, including average true range (ATR) and price momentum, to generate buy and sell signals.
In essence, the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be visualized as a line that moves with the price. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it indicates an uptrend and suggests a potential buy position. Conversely, when the price is below the Supertrend line, it hints at a downtrend, suggesting a potential selling point.
Strategy Goals and Objectives:
1. Trend Identification: At the core of the Supertrend Advance Strategy is the goal to efficiently and consistently identify prevailing market trends. By recognizing these trends, traders can position themselves to capitalize on price movements in their favor.
2. Reducing Noise: Financial markets are often inundated with 'noise' - short-term price fluctuations that can mislead traders. The Supertrend Advance Strategy aims to filter out this noise, allowing for clearer decision-making.
3. Enhancing Risk Management: With clear buy and sell signals, traders can set more precise stop-loss and take-profit points. This leads to better risk management and potentially improved profitability.
4. Versatility: While primarily used for trend identification, the strategy can be integrated with other technical tools and indicators to create a comprehensive trading system.
Type of Assets/Markets to Apply the Strategy:
1. Equities: The Supertrend Advance Strategy is highly popular among stock traders. Its ability to capture long-term trends makes it particularly useful for those trading individual stocks or equity indices.
2. Forex: Given the 24-hour nature of the Forex market and its propensity for trends, the Supertrend Advance Strategy is a valuable tool for currency traders.
3. Commodities: Whether it's gold, oil, or agricultural products, commodities often move in extended trends. The strategy can help in identifying and capitalizing on these movements.
4. Cryptocurrencies: The volatile nature of cryptocurrencies means they can have pronounced trends. The Supertrend Advance Strategy can aid crypto traders in navigating these often tumultuous waters.
5. Futures & Options: Traders and investors in derivative markets can utilize the strategy to make more informed decisions about contract entries and exits.
It's important to note that while the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be applied across various assets and markets, its effectiveness might vary based on market conditions, timeframe, and the specific characteristics of the asset in question. As always, it's recommended to use the strategy in conjunction with other analytical tools and to backtest its effectiveness in specific scenarios before committing to trades.
4. Input Settings
Understanding and correctly configuring input settings is crucial for optimizing the Supertrend Advance Strategy for any specific market or asset. These settings, when tweaked correctly, can drastically impact the strategy's performance.
Grouping Inputs:
Before diving into individual input settings, it's important to group similar inputs. Grouping can simplify the user interface, making it easier to adjust settings related to a specific function or indicator.
Strategy Choice:
This input allows traders to select from various strategies that incorporate the Supertrend indicator. Options might include "Supertrend with RSI," "Supertrend with MACD," etc. By choosing a strategy, the associated input settings for that strategy become available.
Supertrend Settings:
1. Multiplier: Typically, a default value of 3 is used. This multiplier is used in the ATR calculation. Increasing it makes the Supertrend line further from prices, while decreasing it brings the line closer.
2. Period: The number of bars used in the ATR calculation. A common default is 7.
EMA Settings (Exponential Moving Average):
1. Period: Defines the number of previous bars used to calculate the EMA. Common periods are 9, 21, 50, and 200.
2. Source: Allows traders to choose which price (Open, Close, High, Low) to use in the EMA calculation.
RSI Settings (Relative Strength Index):
1. Length: Determines how many periods are used for RSI calculation. The standard setting is 14.
2. Overbought Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered overbought, typically set at 70.
3. Oversold Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered oversold, often at 30.
MACD Settings (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
1. Short Period: The shorter EMA, usually set to 12.
2. Long Period: The longer EMA, commonly set to 26.
3. Signal Period: Defines the EMA of the MACD line, typically set at 9.
CCI Settings (Commodity Channel Index):
1. Period: The number of bars used in the CCI calculation, often set to 20.
2. Overbought Level: Typically set at +100, denoting overbought conditions.
3. Oversold Level: Usually set at -100, indicating oversold conditions.
SL/TP Settings (Stop Loss/Take Profit):
1. SL Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the stop loss.
2. TP Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the take profit.
Filtering Conditions:
This section allows traders to set conditions to filter out certain signals. For example, one might only want to take buy signals when the RSI is below 30, ensuring they buy during oversold conditions.
Trade Direction and Backtest Period:
1. Trade Direction: Allows traders to specify whether they want to take long trades, short trades, or both.
2. Backtest Period: Specifies the time range for backtesting the strategy. Traders can choose from options like 'Last 6 months,' 'Last 1 year,' etc.
It's essential to remember that while default settings are provided for many of these tools, optimal settings can vary based on the market, timeframe, and trading style. Always backtest new settings on historical data to gauge their potential efficacy.
5. Understanding Strategy Conditions
Developing an understanding of the conditions set within a trading strategy is essential for traders to maximize its potential. Here, we delve deep into the logic behind these conditions, using the Supertrend Advance Strategy as our focal point.
Basic Logic Behind Conditions:
Every strategy is built around a set of conditions that provide buy or sell signals. The conditions are based on mathematical or statistical methods and are rooted in the study of historical price data. The fundamental idea is to recognize patterns or behaviors that have been profitable in the past and might be profitable in the future.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
1. Buy Conditions: Usually formulated around bullish signals or indicators suggesting upward price momentum.
2. Sell Conditions: Centered on bearish signals or indicators indicating downward price momentum.
Simple Strategy:
The simple strategy could involve using just the Supertrend indicator. Here:
• Buy: When price closes above the Supertrend line.
• Sell: When price closes below the Supertrend line.
Pullback Strategy:
This strategy capitalizes on price retracements:
• Buy: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bullish signal and is supported by another bullish indicator.
• Sell: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bearish signal and is confirmed by another bearish indicator.
Indicators Used:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
• Logic: EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price movements. A shorter-period EMA crossing above a longer-period EMA can be a bullish sign, while the opposite is bearish.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• Logic: RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to analyze overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 are typically considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
• Logic: MACD assesses the relationship between two EMAs of a security’s price. The MACD line crossing above the signal line can be a bullish signal, while crossing below can be bearish.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
• Logic: CCI compares a security's average price change with its average price variation. A CCI value above +100 may mean the price is overbought, while below -100 might signify an oversold condition.
And others...
As the strategy expands or contracts, more indicators might be added or removed. The crucial point is to understand the core logic behind each, ensuring they align with the strategy's objectives.
Logic Behind Each Indicator:
1. EMA: Emphasizes recent price movements; provides dynamic support and resistance levels.
2. RSI: Indicates overbought and oversold conditions based on recent price changes.
3. MACD: Showcases momentum and direction of a trend by comparing two EMAs.
4. CCI: Measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change.
Understanding strategy conditions is not just about knowing when to buy or sell but also about comprehending the underlying market dynamics that those conditions represent. As you familiarize yourself with each condition and indicator, you'll be better prepared to adapt and evolve with the ever-changing financial markets.
6. Trade Execution and Management
Trade execution and management are crucial aspects of any trading strategy. Efficient execution can significantly impact profitability, while effective management can preserve capital during adverse market conditions. In this section, we'll explore the nuances of position entry, exit strategies, and various Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) methodologies within the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
Position Entry:
Effective trade entry revolves around:
1. Timing: Enter at a point where the risk-reward ratio is favorable. This often corresponds to confirmatory signals from multiple indicators.
2. Volume Analysis: Ensure there's adequate volume to support the movement. Volume can validate the strength of a signal.
3. Confirmation: Use multiple indicators or chart patterns to confirm the entry point. For instance, a buy signal from the Supertrend indicator can be confirmed with a bullish MACD crossover.
Position Exit Strategies:
A successful exit strategy will lock in profits and minimize losses. Here are some strategies:
1. Fixed Time Exit: Exiting after a predetermined period.
2. Percentage-based Profit Target: Exiting after a certain percentage gain.
3. Indicator-based Exit: Exiting when an indicator gives an opposing signal.
Percentage-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Set a fixed percentage below the entry price to limit potential losses.
• Example: A 2% SL on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $98.
• Take Profit (TP): Set a fixed percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
• Example: A 5% TP on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $105.
Supertrend-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Position the SL at the Supertrend line. If the price breaches this line, it could indicate a trend reversal.
• Take Profit (TP): One could set the TP at a point where the Supertrend line flattens or turns, indicating a possible slowdown in momentum.
Swing high/low-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): For a long position, set the SL just below the recent swing low. For a short position, set it just above the recent swing high.
• Take Profit (TP): For a long position, set the TP near a recent swing high or resistance. For a short position, near a swing low or support.
And other methods...
1. Trailing Stop Loss: This dynamic SL adjusts with the price movement, locking in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. Multiple Take Profits: Divide the position into segments and set multiple TP levels, securing profits in stages.
3. Opposite Signal Exit: Exit when another reliable indicator gives an opposite signal.
Trade execution and management are as much an art as they are a science. They require a blend of analytical skill, discipline, and intuition. Regularly reviewing and refining your strategies, especially in light of changing market conditions, is crucial to maintaining consistent trading performance.
7. Visual Representations
Visual tools are essential for traders, as they simplify complex data into an easily interpretable format. Properly analyzing and understanding the plots on a chart can provide actionable insights and a more intuitive grasp of market conditions. In this section, we’ll delve into various visual representations used in the Supertrend Advance Strategy and their significance.
Understanding Plots on the Chart:
Charts are the primary visual aids for traders. The arrangement of data points, lines, and colors on them tell a story about the market's past, present, and potential future moves.
1. Data Points: These represent individual price actions over a specific timeframe. For instance, a daily chart will have data points showing the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each day.
2. Colors: Used to indicate the nature of price movement. Commonly, green is used for bullish (upward) moves and red for bearish (downward) moves.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are straight lines drawn on a chart that connect a series of price points. Their significance:
1. Uptrend Line: Drawn along the lows, representing support. A break below might indicate a trend reversal.
2. Downtrend Line: Drawn along the highs, indicating resistance. A break above might suggest the start of a bullish trend.
Filled Areas:
These represent a range between two values on a chart, usually shaded or colored. For instance:
1. Bollinger Bands: The area between the upper and lower band is filled, giving a visual representation of volatility.
2. Volume Profile: Can show a filled area representing the amount of trading activity at different price levels.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines:
These are horizontal lines representing pre-determined exit points for trades.
1. Stop Loss Line: Indicates the level at which a trade will be automatically closed to limit losses. Positioned according to the trader's risk tolerance.
2. Take Profit Line: Denotes the target level to lock in profits. Set according to potential resistance (for long trades) or support (for short trades) or other technical factors.
Trailing Stop Lines:
A trailing stop is a dynamic form of stop loss that moves with the price. On a chart:
1. For Long Trades: Starts below the entry price and moves up with the price but remains static if the price falls, ensuring profits are locked in.
2. For Short Trades: Starts above the entry price and moves down with the price but remains static if the price rises.
Visual representations offer traders a clear, organized view of market dynamics. Familiarity with these tools ensures that traders can quickly and accurately interpret chart data, leading to more informed decision-making. Always ensure that the visual aids used resonate with your trading style and strategy for the best results.
8. Backtesting
Backtesting is a fundamental process in strategy development, enabling traders to evaluate the efficacy of their strategy using historical data. It provides a snapshot of how the strategy would have performed in past market conditions, offering insights into its potential strengths and vulnerabilities. In this section, we'll explore the intricacies of setting up and analyzing backtest results and the caveats one must be aware of.
Setting Up Backtest Period:
1. Duration: Determine the timeframe for the backtest. It should be long enough to capture various market conditions (bullish, bearish, sideways). For instance, if you're testing a daily strategy, consider a period of several years.
2. Data Quality: Ensure the data source is reliable, offering high-resolution and clean data. This is vital to get accurate backtest results.
3. Segmentation: Instead of a continuous period, sometimes it's helpful to backtest over distinct market phases, like a particular bear or bull market, to see how the strategy holds up in different environments.
Analyzing Backtest Results:
1. Performance Metrics: Examine metrics like the total return, annualized return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and others to gauge the strategy's efficiency.
2. Win Rate: It's the ratio of winning trades to total trades. A high win rate doesn't always signify a good strategy; it should be evaluated in conjunction with other metrics.
3. Risk/Reward: Understand the average profit versus the average loss per trade. A strategy might have a low win rate but still be profitable if the average gain far exceeds the average loss.
4. Drawdown Analysis: Review the periods of losses the strategy could incur and how long it takes, on average, to recover.
9. Tips and Best Practices
Successful trading requires more than just knowing how a strategy works. It necessitates an understanding of when to apply it, how to adjust it to varying market conditions, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid common pitfalls. This section offers insightful tips and best practices to enhance the application of the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
When to Use the Strategy:
1. Market Conditions: Ideally, employ the Supertrend Advance Strategy during trending market conditions. This strategy thrives when there are clear upward or downward trends. It might be less effective during consolidative or sideways markets.
2. News Events: Be cautious around significant news events, as they can cause extreme volatility. It might be wise to avoid trading immediately before and after high-impact news.
3. Liquidity: Ensure you are trading in assets/markets with sufficient liquidity. High liquidity ensures that the price movements are more reflective of genuine market sentiment and not due to thin volume.
Adjusting Settings for Different Markets/Timeframes:
1. Markets: Each market (stocks, forex, commodities) has its own characteristics. It's essential to adjust the strategy's parameters to align with the market's volatility and liquidity.
2. Timeframes: Shorter timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts) tend to have more noise. You might need to adjust the settings to filter out false signals. Conversely, for longer timeframes (like daily or weekly charts), you might need to be more responsive to genuine trend changes.
3. Customization: Regularly review and tweak the strategy's settings. Periodic adjustments can ensure the strategy remains optimized for the current market conditions.

Other comments
Value of combining several indicators in this script and how they work together
Diversification of Signals: Just as diversifying an investment portfolio can reduce risk, using multiple indicators can offer varied perspectives on potential price movements. Each indicator can capture a different facet of the market, ensuring that traders are not overly reliant on a single data point.
Confirmation & Reduced False Signals: A common challenge with many indicators is the potential for false signals. By requiring confirmation from multiple indicators before acting, the chances of acting on a false signal can be significantly reduced.
Flexibility Across Market Conditions: Different indicators might perform better under different market conditions. For example, while moving averages might excel in trending markets, oscillators like RSI might be more useful during sideways or range-bound conditions. A mashup strategy can potentially adapt better to varying market scenarios.
Comprehensive Analysis: With multiple indicators, traders can gauge trend strength, momentum, volatility, and potential market reversals all at once, providing a holistic view of the market.
How do the different indicators in the Supertrend Advance Strategy work together?
Supertrend: This is primarily a trend-following indicator. It provides traders with buy and sell signals based on the volatility of the price. When combined with other indicators, it can filter out noise and give more weight to strong, confirmed trends.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): EMA gives more weight to recent price data. It can be used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. When the price is above the EMA, it's generally considered bullish, and vice versa.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. By cross-referencing with other indicators like EMA or MACD, traders can spot potential reversals or confirmations of a trend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This indicator identifies changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it can be a bullish sign, and when it crosses below, it can be bearish. Pairing MACD with Supertrend can provide dual confirmation of a trend.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Initially developed for commodities, CCI can indicate overbought or oversold conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other indicators to determine entry and exit points.
In essence, the synergy of these indicators provides a balanced, comprehensive approach to trading. Each indicator offers its unique lens into market conditions, and when they align, it can be a powerful indication of a trading opportunity. This combination not only reduces the potential drawbacks of each individual indicator but leverages their strengths, aiming for more consistent and informed trading decisions.
Backtesting and Default Settings
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
• Default properties: RSI on (length 14, RSI buy level 50, sell level 50), EMA, RSI, MACD on, type of strategy pullback, SL/TP type: ATR (length 10, factor 3), trade direction both, quantity 5, take profit swing hl 5.1, highest / lowest lookback 2, enable ATR trail (ATR length 10, SL ATR multiplier 1.4, TP multiplier 2.1, lookback = 4, trade direction = both).
DBMA - Dual Bollinger Moving AverageThe Dual Bollinger moving average (DBMA) consists of a moving average (MA) & two Bollinger Bands (BB), with the color of the bands representing the level of price compression. In its default settings, it is a 20-day simple moving average with 2 upper Bollinger Bands, having the standard deviation (SD) settings of 0.5 & 1, respectively.
How close the price is to the moving average?
For a pullback trader, the entry point should be close to the moving average, preferably with price compression. How close should it be, is where the bands serve as a guide. The low of the pullback candle should be within the bands, that is, at least within the far band (1 SD of the MA), or even better if it's within the near band (0.5 SD). When the price is outside the bands, it should not be considered favourable for a pullback entry.
For how long has the price been closer to the moving average?
John Carter’s TTM Squeeze indicator looked at the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels to help identify period of volatility contractions. Bollinger Bands being completely enclosed within the Keltner Channels is indicative of a very low volatility. This is a state of volatility contraction known as squeeze. Using different ATR lengths (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) for Keltner Channels, we can differentiate between levels of squeeze (High, Mid & Low compression, respectively). Greater the compression, higher the potential for explosive moves.
The squeeze portion of the script is based on LazyBear's script ( Squeeze Momentum Indicator )
The High, Mid & Low compression squeezes are depicted via the color of the bands being red, orange, or yellow, respectively. With the low of the pullback candle within the bands, & the squeeze color changing to red, it should be considered favourable for a pullback entry.
Trailing the price with the lower bands
The lower bands can be used for trailing with the moving average. While trailing, once the price closes below the moving average, the trailing stoploss (TSL) is said to be triggered, & the trade is exited. Here we use the bands to give it some cushion. Let the price close below the 1SD band for labelling the TSL as being triggered to exit the trade. If the price closes below the MA but is still within the bands, the signal is to keep holding the trade.
Crunchster's Turtle and Trend SystemThis is a combination of two popular systematic trading strategies - in the trend following category.
The strategy is designed for use on the daily timeframe. Specific features of this system are outlined below:
1. Two different strategies to choose from, "Trend" which is a volatility adjusted Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossover strategy and "Breakout" which is my adaptation of the well documented "Turtle Strategy"
2. Uses advanced position sizing and risk management, usually reserved for institutional portfolio management, a proven technique utilised by Commodity Trading Advisors and Managed Futures funds (Algo/Quant funds).
"Trend" uses a fast (user defined) and slow EMA crossover, where the slow length is 5 times the fast length. The resulting signal is adjusted for the volatility of returns over a 252 lookback period, which helps to normalise the signal across different assets. The system goes long or short when it detects a new trend has formed.
"Break" uses the highest high or lowest low over a user defined lookback period to define the recent range. This is converted into a price normalised signal to allow the system to detect when a breakout occurs. The system goes long or short based off the breakout signal.
Position sizing is based on recent price volatility and the user defined annualised risk target. In essence positions are inverse volatility weighted, so larger size is opened during lower volatility and smaller size during increased volatility. Recent volatility is calculated as the standard deviation of returns with 14 period lookback, then extrapolated into an annualised volatility of expected returns. Annualised recent volatility is then referenced to the risk target set by the user to adjust the position size. The default settings are a conservative 15% annual risk target/volatility. Initial capital should be set as the maximum risk capital per trade (ie if $10,000 total capital and 10% risk per trade, initial capital should be $1000). Maximum leverage per position can be set independently, to facilitate hitting risk targets that are greater than the natural volatility of the traded asset, and to accommodate low volatility conditions, whilst maintaining overall risk controls. Direction (long or short) is at the user's discretion.
Hard stop losses are based on multiples of the average true range of recent price (14 period lookback), user configurable.
Strategy trailing stops are based off recent highest highs or lowest lows (user defined lookback) to cut the position if the trend or momentum is lost.
Although both strategies can be run simultaneously, optimal diversification will be achieved if ran separately/individually to avoid masking of entries.
