LW Outside Day Strategy[SpeculationLab]This strategy is inspired by the “Outside Day” concept introduced by Larry Williams in Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading, and has been extended with configurable risk management tools and realistic backtesting parameters.
Concept
The “Outside Day” is a classic price action pattern that reflects strong market rejection or continuation pressure.
An Outside Bar occurs when the current bar’s high exceeds the previous high and the low falls below the previous low.
A body-size filter ensures only significant candles are included.
Entry Logic
Buy setup: Price closes below the previous low (bullish rejection).
Sell setup: Price closes above the previous high (bearish rejection).
Only confirmed bars are used (no intrabar signals).
Stop-Loss Modes
Prev Low/High: Uses the previous swing point ± ATR-based buffer.
ATR: Dynamic stop based on Average True Range × multiplier.
Fixed Pips: User-defined fixed distance (for forex testing).
Take-Profit Modes
Prev High/Low (PHL): Exits near the opposite swing.
Risk-Reward (RR): Targets a user-defined multiple of the stop distance (default = 2 : 1).
Following Price Open (FPO): Exits on the next bar’s open if price opens in profit (used to test overnight price continuation).
Risk Management & Backtest Settings
Default risk per trade is set at 10% of account equity (user-adjustable).
Commission = 0.1% and slippage = 2 ticks are applied to simulate realistic conditions.
For reliable statistics, test on data that yields over 100 trades.
Suitable for daily and 4-hour timeframes across stocks, forex, and crypto markets.
Visual Elements
Green and red triangles show entry signals.
Stop-loss (red) and take-profit (green) reference lines are drawn for clarity.
Optional alerts notify when a valid setup forms.

Stochastic Enhanced [DCAUT]█ Stochastic Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The Stochastic Enhanced indicator builds upon George Lane's classic momentum oscillator (developed in the late 1950s) by providing comprehensive smoothing algorithm flexibility. While traditional implementations limit users to Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing, this enhanced version offers 21 advanced smoothing algorithms, allowing traders to optimize the indicator's characteristics for different market conditions and trading styles.
Key Improvements:
Extended from single SMA smoothing to 21 professional-grade algorithms including adaptive filters (KAMA, FRAMA), zero-lag methods (ZLEMA, T3), and advanced digital filters (Kalman, Laguerre)
Maintains backward compatibility with traditional Stochastic calculations through SMA default setting
Unified smoothing algorithm applies to both %K and %D lines for consistent signal processing characteristics
Enhanced visual feedback with clear color distinction and background fill highlighting for intuitive signal recognition
Comprehensive alert system covering crossovers and zone entries for systematic trade management
Differentiation from Traditional Stochastic:
Traditional Stochastic indicators use fixed SMA smoothing, which introduces consistent lag regardless of market volatility. This enhanced version addresses the limitation by offering adaptive algorithms that adjust to market conditions (KAMA, FRAMA), reduce lag without sacrificing smoothness (ZLEMA, T3, HMA), or provide superior noise filtering (Kalman Filter, Laguerre filters). The flexibility helps traders balance responsiveness and stability according to their specific needs.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Core Stochastic Calculation:
The Stochastic Oscillator measures the position of the current close relative to the high-low range over a specified period:
Step 1: Raw %K Calculation
%K_raw = 100 × (Close - Lowest Low) / (Highest High - Lowest Low)
Where:
Close = Current closing price
Lowest Low = Lowest low over the %K Length period
Highest High = Highest high over the %K Length period
Result ranges from 0 (close at period low) to 100 (close at period high)
Step 2: Smoothed %K Calculation
%K = MA(%K_raw, K Smoothing Period, MA Type)
Where:
MA = Selected moving average algorithm (SMA, EMA, etc.)
K Smoothing = 1 for Fast Stochastic, 3+ for Slow Stochastic
Traditional Fast Stochastic uses %K_raw directly without smoothing
Step 3: Signal Line %D Calculation
%D = MA(%K, D Smoothing Period, MA Type)
Where:
%D acts as a signal line and moving average of %K
D Smoothing typically set to 3 periods in traditional implementations
Both %K and %D use the same MA algorithm for consistent behavior
Available Smoothing Algorithms (21 Options):
Standard Moving Averages:
SMA (Simple): Equal-weighted average, traditional default, consistent lag characteristics
EMA (Exponential): Recent price emphasis, faster response to changes, exponential decay weighting
RMA (Rolling/Wilder's): Smoothed average used in RSI, less reactive than EMA
WMA (Weighted): Linear weighting favoring recent data, moderate responsiveness
VWMA (Volume-Weighted): Incorporates volume data, reflects market participation intensity
Advanced Moving Averages:
HMA (Hull): Reduced lag with smoothness, uses weighted moving averages and square root period
ALMA (Arnaud Legoux): Gaussian distribution weighting, minimal lag with good noise reduction
LSMA (Least Squares): Linear regression based, fits trend line to data points
DEMA (Double Exponential): Reduced lag compared to EMA, uses double smoothing technique
TEMA (Triple Exponential): Further lag reduction, triple smoothing with lag compensation
ZLEMA (Zero-Lag Exponential): Lag elimination attempt using error correction, very responsive
TMA (Triangular): Double-smoothed SMA, very smooth but slower response
Adaptive & Intelligent Filters:
T3 (Tilson T3): Six-pass exponential smoothing with volume factor adjustment, excellent smoothness
FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive): Adapts to market fractal dimension, faster in trends, slower in ranges
KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive): Efficiency ratio based adaptation, responds to volatility changes
McGinley Dynamic: Self-adjusting mechanism following price more accurately, reduced whipsaws
Kalman Filter: Optimal estimation algorithm from aerospace engineering, dynamic noise filtering
Advanced Digital Filters:
Ultimate Smoother: Advanced digital filter design, superior noise rejection with minimal lag
Laguerre Filter: Time-domain filter with N-order implementation, adjustable lag characteristics
Laguerre Binomial Filter: 6-pole Laguerre filter, extremely smooth output for long-term analysis
Super Smoother: Butterworth filter implementation, removes high-frequency noise effectively
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Absolute Level Interpretation (%K Line):
%K Above 80: Overbought condition, price near period high, potential reversal or pullback zone, caution for new long entries
%K in 70-80 Range: Strong upward momentum, bullish trend confirmation, uptrend likely continuing
%K in 50-70 Range: Moderate bullish momentum, neutral to positive outlook, consolidation or mild uptrend
%K in 30-50 Range: Moderate bearish momentum, neutral to negative outlook, consolidation or mild downtrend
%K in 20-30 Range: Strong downward momentum, bearish trend confirmation, downtrend likely continuing
%K Below 20: Oversold condition, price near period low, potential bounce or reversal zone, caution for new short entries
Crossover Signal Analysis:
%K Crosses Above %D (Bullish Cross): Momentum shifting bullish, faster line overtakes slower signal, consider long entry especially in oversold zone, strongest when occurring below 20 level
%K Crosses Below %D (Bearish Cross): Momentum shifting bearish, faster line falls below slower signal, consider short entry especially in overbought zone, strongest when occurring above 80 level
Crossover in Midrange (40-60): Less reliable signals, often in choppy sideways markets, require additional confirmation from trend or volume analysis
Multiple Failed Crosses: Indicates ranging market or choppy conditions, reduce position sizes or avoid trading until clear directional move
Advanced Divergence Patterns (%K Line vs Price):
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while %K makes higher low, indicates weakening bearish momentum, potential trend reversal upward, more reliable when %K in oversold zone
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while %K makes lower high, indicates weakening bullish momentum, potential trend reversal downward, more reliable when %K in overbought zone
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes higher low while %K makes lower low, indicates trend continuation in uptrend, bullish trend strength confirmation
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes lower high while %K makes higher high, indicates trend continuation in downtrend, bearish trend strength confirmation
Momentum Strength Analysis (%K Line Slope):
Steep %K Slope: Rapid momentum change, strong directional conviction, potential for extended moves but also increased reversal risk
Gradual %K Slope: Steady momentum development, sustainable trends more likely, lower probability of sharp reversals
Flat or Horizontal %K: Momentum stalling, potential reversal or consolidation ahead, wait for directional break before committing
%K Oscillation Within Range: Indicates ranging market, sideways price action, better suited for range-trading strategies than trend following
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Mean Reversion Strategy (Range-Bound Markets):
Identify ranging market conditions using price action or Bollinger Bands
Wait for Stochastic to reach extreme zones (above 80 for overbought, below 20 for oversold)
Enter counter-trend position when %K crosses %D in extreme zone (sell on bearish cross above 80, buy on bullish cross below 20)
Set profit targets near opposite extreme or midline (50 level)
Use tight stop-loss above recent swing high/low to protect against breakout scenarios
Exit when Stochastic reaches opposite extreme or %K crosses %D in opposite direction
Trend Following with Momentum Confirmation:
Identify primary trend direction using higher timeframe analysis or moving averages
Wait for Stochastic pullback to oversold zone (<20) in uptrend or overbought zone (>80) in downtrend
Enter in trend direction when %K crosses %D confirming momentum shift (bullish cross in uptrend, bearish cross in downtrend)
Use wider stops to accommodate normal trend volatility
Add to position on subsequent pullbacks showing similar Stochastic pattern
Exit when Stochastic shows opposite extreme with failed cross or bearish/bullish divergence
Divergence-Based Reversal Strategy:
Scan for divergence between price and Stochastic at swing highs/lows
Confirm divergence with at least two price pivots showing divergent Stochastic readings
Wait for %K to cross %D in direction of anticipated reversal as entry trigger
Enter position in divergence direction with stop beyond recent swing extreme
Target profit at key support/resistance levels or Fibonacci retracements
Scale out as Stochastic reaches opposite extreme zone
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Alignment:
Analyze Stochastic on higher timeframe (4H or Daily) for primary trend bias
Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15M) for precise entry timing
Only take trades where lower timeframe Stochastic signal aligns with higher timeframe momentum direction
Higher timeframe Stochastic in bullish zone (>50) = only take long entries on lower timeframe
Higher timeframe Stochastic in bearish zone (<50) = only take short entries on lower timeframe
Exit when lower timeframe shows counter-signal or higher timeframe momentum reverses
Zone Transition Strategy:
Monitor Stochastic for transitions between zones (oversold to neutral, neutral to overbought, etc.)
Enter long when Stochastic crosses above 20 (exiting oversold), signaling momentum shift from bearish to neutral/bullish
Enter short when Stochastic crosses below 80 (exiting overbought), signaling momentum shift from bullish to neutral/bearish
Use zone midpoint (50) as dynamic support/resistance for position management
Trail stops as Stochastic advances through favorable zones
Exit when Stochastic fails to maintain momentum and reverses back into prior zone
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
%K Length (Default: 14):
Lower Values (5-9): Highly sensitive to price changes, generates more frequent signals, increased false signals in choppy markets, suitable for very short-term trading and scalping
Standard Values (10-14): Balanced sensitivity and reliability, traditional default (14) widely used,适合 swing trading and intraday strategies
Higher Values (15-21): Reduced sensitivity, smoother oscillations, fewer but potentially more reliable signals, better for position trading and lower timeframe noise reduction
Very High Values (21+): Slow response, long-term momentum measurement, fewer trading signals, suitable for weekly or monthly analysis
%K Smoothing (Default: 3):
Value 1: Fast Stochastic, uses raw %K calculation without additional smoothing, most responsive to price changes, generates earliest signals with higher noise
Value 3: Slow Stochastic (default), traditional smoothing level, reduces false signals while maintaining good responsiveness, widely accepted standard
Values 5-7: Very slow response, extremely smooth oscillations, significantly reduced whipsaws but delayed entry/exit timing
Recommendation: Default value 3 suits most trading scenarios, active short-term traders may use 1, conservative long-term positions use 5+
%D Smoothing (Default: 3):
Lower Values (1-2): Signal line closely follows %K, frequent crossover signals, useful for active trading but requires strict filtering
Standard Value (3): Traditional setting providing balanced signal line behavior, optimal for most trading applications
Higher Values (4-7): Smoother signal line, fewer crossover signals, reduced whipsaws but slower confirmation, better for trend trading
Very High Values (8+): Signal line becomes slow-moving reference, crossovers rare and highly significant, suitable for long-term position changes only
Smoothing Type Algorithm Selection:
For Trending Markets:
ZLEMA, DEMA, TEMA: Reduced lag for faster trend entry, quick response to momentum shifts, suitable for strong directional moves
HMA, ALMA: Good balance of smoothness and responsiveness, effective for clean trend following without excessive noise
EMA: Classic choice for trending markets, faster than SMA while maintaining reasonable stability
For Ranging/Choppy Markets:
Kalman Filter, Super Smoother: Superior noise filtering, reduces false signals in sideways action, helps identify genuine reversal points
Laguerre Filters: Smooth oscillations with adjustable lag, excellent for mean reversion strategies in ranges
T3, TMA: Very smooth output, filters out market noise effectively, clearer extreme zone identification
For Adaptive Market Conditions:
KAMA: Automatically adjusts to market efficiency, fast in trends and slow in congestion, reduces whipsaws during transitions
FRAMA: Adapts to fractal market structure, responsive during directional moves, conservative during uncertainty
McGinley Dynamic: Self-adjusting smoothing, follows price naturally, minimizes lag in trending markets while filtering noise in ranges
For Conservative Long-Term Analysis:
SMA: Traditional choice, predictable behavior, widely understood characteristics
RMA (Wilder's): Smooth oscillations, reduced sensitivity to outliers, consistent behavior across market conditions
Laguerre Binomial Filter: Extremely smooth output, ideal for weekly/monthly timeframe analysis, eliminates short-term noise completely
Source Selection:
Close (Default): Standard choice using closing prices, most common and widely tested

HL2: Midpoint of high-low range, emphasizes intrabar volatility, useful for markets with wide intraday ranges
Custom Source: Can use other indicators as input (e.g., Heikin Ashi close, smoothed price), creates derivative momentum indicators
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Responsiveness Characteristics:
Traditional SMA-Based Stochastic:
Fixed lag regardless of market conditions, consistent delay of approximately (K Smoothing + D Smoothing) / 2 periods
Equal treatment of trending and ranging markets, no adaptation to volatility changes
Predictable behavior but suboptimal in varying market regimes
Enhanced Version with Adaptive Algorithms:
KAMA and FRAMA reduce lag by up to 40-60% in strong trends compared to SMA while maintaining similar smoothness in ranges
ZLEMA and T3 provide near-zero lag characteristics for early entry signals with acceptable noise levels
Kalman Filter and Super Smoother offer superior noise rejection, reducing false signals in choppy conditions by estimations of 30-50% compared to SMA
Performance improvements vary by algorithm selection and market conditions
Signal Quality Improvements:
Adaptive algorithms help reduce whipsaw trades in ranging markets by adjusting sensitivity dynamically
Advanced filters (Kalman, Laguerre, Super Smoother) provide clearer extreme zone readings for mean reversion strategies
Zero-lag methods (ZLEMA, DEMA, TEMA) generate earlier crossover signals in trending markets for improved entry timing
Smoother algorithms (T3, Laguerre Binomial) reduce false extreme zone touches for more reliable overbought/oversold signals
Comparison with Standard Implementations:
Versus Basic Stochastic: Enhanced version offers 21 smoothing options versus single SMA, allowing optimization for specific market characteristics and trading styles
Versus RSI: Stochastic provides range-bound measurement (0-100) with clear extreme zones, RSI measures momentum speed, Stochastic offers clearer visual overbought/oversold identification
Versus MACD: Stochastic bounded oscillator suitable for mean reversion, MACD unbounded indicator better for trend strength, Stochastic excels in range-bound and oscillating markets
Versus CCI: Stochastic has fixed bounds (0-100) for consistent interpretation, CCI unbounded with variable extremes, Stochastic provides more standardized extreme readings across different instruments
Flexibility Advantages:
Single indicator adaptable to multiple strategies through algorithm selection rather than requiring different indicator variants
Ability to optimize smoothing characteristics for specific instruments (e.g., smoother for crypto volatility, faster for forex trends)
Multi-timeframe analysis with consistent algorithm across timeframes for coherent momentum picture
Backtesting capability with algorithm as optimization parameter for strategy development
Limitations and Considerations:
Increased complexity from multiple algorithm choices may lead to over-optimization if parameters are curve-fitted to historical data
Adaptive algorithms (KAMA, FRAMA) have adjustment periods during market regime changes where signals may be less reliable
Zero-lag algorithms sacrifice some smoothness for responsiveness, potentially increasing noise sensitivity in very choppy conditions
Performance characteristics vary significantly across algorithms, requiring understanding and testing before live implementation
Like all oscillators, Stochastic can remain in extreme zones for extended periods during strong trends, generating premature reversal signals
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to provide traders with enhanced flexibility in momentum analysis. The Stochastic Oscillator has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important Considerations:
Algorithm performance varies with market conditions - no single smoothing method is optimal for all scenarios
Extreme zone signals (overbought/oversold) indicate potential reversal areas but not guaranteed turning points, especially in strong trends
Crossover signals may generate false entries during sideways choppy markets regardless of smoothing algorithm
Divergence patterns require confirmation from price action or additional indicators before trading
Past indicator characteristics and backtested results do not guarantee future performance
Always combine Stochastic analysis with proper risk management, position sizing, and multi-indicator confirmation
Test selected algorithm on historical data of specific instrument and timeframe before live trading
Market regime changes may require algorithm adjustment for optimal performance
The enhanced smoothing options are intended to provide tools for optimizing the indicator's behavior to match individual trading styles and market characteristics, not to create a perfect predictive tool. Responsible usage includes understanding the mathematical properties of selected algorithms and their appropriate application contexts.
Session-Conditioned Regime ATRWhy this exists
Classic ATR is great—until the open. The first few bars often inherit overnight gaps and 24-hour noise that have nothing to do with the intraday regime you actually trade. That inflates early ATR, scrambles thresholds, and invites hyper-recency bias (“today is crazy!”) when it’s just the open being the open.
This tool was built to:
Separate session reality from 24h noise. Measure volatility only inside your defined session (e.g., NYSE 09:30–16:00 ET).
Judge candles against the current regime, not the last 2–3 bars. A rolling statistic from the last N completed sessions defines what “typical” means right now.
Label “large” and “small” objectively. Bars are colored only when True Range meaningfully departs from the session regime—no gut feel, no open-bar distortion (gap inclusion optional).
Overview
Purpose: objectively identify unusually big or small candles within the active trading session, compared to the recent session regime.
Use cases: volatility filters, entry/exit confirmation, session bias detection, adaptive sizing.
This indicator replaces generic ATR with a session-conditioned, regime-aware measure. It colors candles only when their True Range (TR) is abnormally large/small versus the last N completed sessions of the same session window.
How it works
Session gating: Only bars inside the selected session are evaluated (presets for NYSE, CME RTH, FX NY; custom supported).
Per-bar TR: TR = max(high, prevRef) − min(low, prevRef).
prevRef is the prior close for in-session bars.
First bar of the session can include the overnight gap (optional; default off).
Regime statistic: For any bar in session k, aggregate all in-session TRs from the previous N completed sessions (k−N … k−1), then compute Median (default) or Mean.
Today’s anchor: Running statistic from today’s session start → current bar (for context and the on-chart ratio).
Color logic:
Big if TR ≥ bigMult × RegimeStat
Small if TR ≤ smallMult × RegimeStat
Colored states: big bull, big bear, small bull, small bear.
Non-triggering bars retain the chart’s native colors.
Panel (top-right by default)
Regime ATR (Nd): session-conditioned statistic over the past N completed sessions.
Today ATR (anchored): running statistic for the current session.
Ratio (Today/Regime): intraday volatility vs regime.
Sample size n: number of bars used in the regime calculation.
Inputs
Session Preset: NYSE (09:30–16:00 ET), CME RTH (08:30–15:00 CT), FX NY (08:00–17:00 ET), Custom (session + IANA timezone).
Regime Window: number of completed sessions (default 5).
Statistic: Median (robust) or Mean.
Include Open Gap: include overnight gap in the first in-session bar’s TR (default off).
Big/Small thresholds: multipliers relative to RegimeStat (defaults: Big=1.5×, Small=0.67×).
Colors: four independent colors for big/small × bull/bear.
Panel position & text size.
Hidden outputs: expose RegimeStat, TodayStat, Ratio, and Z-score to other scripts.
Alerts
RegimeATR: BIG bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Big” condition.
RegimeATR: SMALL bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Small” condition.
Hidden outputs (for strategies/screeners)
RegimeATR_stat, TodayATR_stat, Today_vs_Regime_Ratio, BarTR_Zscore.
Notes & limitations
No look-ahead: calculations only use information available up to that bar. Historical colors reflect what would have been known then.
Warm-up: colors begin once there are at least N completed sessions; before that, regime is undefined by design.
Changing inputs (session window, multipliers, median/mean, gap toggle) recomputes the full series using the same rolling regime logic per bar.
Designed for standard candles. Styling respects existing chart colors when no condition triggers.
Practical tips
For a broader or tighter notion of “unusual,” adjust Big/Small multipliers.
Prefer Median in markets prone to outliers; use Mean if you want Z-score alignment with the panel’s regime mean/std.
Use the Ratio readout to spot compression/expansion days quickly (e.g., <0.7× = compressed session, >1.3× = expanded).
Roadmap
More session presets:
24h continuous (crypto, index CFDs).
23h/Globex futures (CME ETH with a 60-minute maintenance break).

Twisted Forex's Doji + Area StrategyTitle
Twisted Forex’s Doji + Area Strategy
Description
What this strategy does
This strategy looks for doji candles forming inside or near supply/demand areas . Areas are built from swing pivots and sized with ATR, then tracked for retests (“confirmations”). When a doji prints close to an area and quality checks pass, the strategy places a trade with the stop beyond the doji and a configurable R:R target.
How areas (zones) are built
• Swings are detected with a user-set pivot length.
• Each swing spawns a horizontal area centered at the pivot price with half-height = zoneHalfATR × ATR .
• Duplicates are de-duplicated by center distance (ATR-scaled).
• Areas fade when broken beyond a buffer or after an optional age (expiry).
• Retests are recorded when price touches and then bounces away from the area; repeated reactions increase the zone’s “strength”.
Signal logic (summary)
Doji detection: strict or loose body criteria with optional minimum wick fractions and ATR-scaled minimum range.
Proximity: price must be inside/near a supply or demand area (proxATR × ATR).
Side resolution: overlap is resolved by (a) which side price penetrates more, (b) fast/slow EMA trend, or (c) nearest distance. Optional “previous candle flip” can bias long after a bearish candle and short after a bullish one.
Optional 1-bar confirmation: the bar after the doji must close away from the area by confirmATR × ATR .
Quality filter (Off/Soft/Strict): four checks—(i) wick rejection past the edge, (ii) doji closes in an edge “band” of the area, (iii) fresh touch (cooldown), (iv) approach impulse over a short lookback. In Strict , thresholds auto-tighten.
Orders & exits
• Long: stop below doji low minus buffer; Short: above doji high plus buffer.
• Target = rrMultiple × risk distance .
• Pyramiding is off by default.
Position sizing
You can size from the script or from Strategy Properties:
• Script-driven (default): set Position sizing = “Risk % of equity” and choose riskPercent (e.g., 1.0%). The script applies safe floors/rounding (FX micro-lots by default) so quantity never rounds to zero.
• Properties-driven : toggle Use TV Properties → Order size ON, then pick “Percent of equity” in Properties (e.g., 1%). The header includes safe defaults so trades still place.
Key inputs to explore
• Zone building : pivotLen, zoneHalfATR, minDepartureATR, expiryBars, breakATR, leftBars, dedupeATR.
• Doji & proximity : strictDoji, dojiBodyFrac, minWickFrac, minRangeATR, proxATR, minBarsBetween.
• Overlap resolution : usePenetration, useTrend (EMA 21/55), “previous candle flip”, needNextBarConf & confirmATR.
• Quality : qualityMode (Off/Soft/Strict), minQualPass/kStrict, wickPenATR, edgeBandFrac, approachLookback, approachMinATR, freshTouchBars.
• Zone strength gating : minStrengthSoft / minStrengthStrict.
• HTF confluence (optional) : useHTFTrend (HTF EMA 34/89) and/or useHTFZoneProx (HTF swing bands).
Tips to make it cleaner / higher quality
• Turn needNextBarConf ON and use confirmATR = 0.10–0.15 .
• Increase approachMinATR (e.g., 0.35–0.45) to require a stronger pre-touch impulse.
• Raise minStrengthSoft/Strict (e.g., 4–6) so only well-reacted zones can signal.
• Use signalsOnlyConfirmed ON if you prefer trades only from zones with retests (the script falls back gracefully when none exist yet).
• Nudge proxATR to 0.5–0.6 to demand tighter proximity to the level.
• Optional: enable useHTFTrend to filter counter-trend setups.
Default settings used in this publication
• Initial capital: 100,000 (illustrative).
• Slippage: 1 tick; Commission: 0% (you can raise commission if you prefer—spread is partly modeled by slippage).
• Sizing: Risk % of equity via inputs; riskPercent = 1.0% ; FX uses micro-lot floors by default.
• Quality: Off by default (Soft/Strict available).
• HTF trend gate: Off by default.
Backtesting notes
For a meaningful sample size, test on liquid symbols/timeframes that yield 100+ trades (e.g., majors on 5–15m over 1–2 years). Backtests are modelled and broker costs/spread vary—validate on your feed and forward-test.
How to read the chart
Shaded bands are supply (above) and demand (below). Brighter bands are the nearest K per side (visual aid). BUY/SELL labels mark entries; colored dots show entry/SL/TP levels. You can hide zones or unconfirmed zones for a cleaner view.

BTC 5-MA Multi Cross Strategy By Hardik Prajapati Ai TradelabThis strategy is built around the five most powerful and commonly used moving averages in crypto trading — 5, 20, 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs (Simple Moving Averages) — applied on a 1-hour Bitcoin chart.
Core Idea:
The strategy aims to identify strong bullish trends by confirming when the price action crosses above all key moving averages. This alignment of multiple MAs indicates momentum shift and helps filter out false breakouts.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works:
1. Calculates 5 Moving Averages:
• 5 MA → Short-term momentum (fastest signal)
• 20 MA → Near-term trend confirmation
• 50 MA → Mid-term trend filter
• 100 MA → Long-term trend foundation
• 200 MA → Macro-trend direction (strongest support/resistance)
2. Buy Condition (Entry):
• A Buy is triggered when:

PG DMean & Price Sync ver 9.4 - ConsolidatedPG DMean & Price Sync Strategy (SD Filter)
This strategy combines the momentum-oscillator properties of the Detrended Mean (DMean) with a Standard Deviation (SD) Price Filter for confirming trend direction, aiming to isolate high-conviction trades while actively managing risk.
🔑 Core Logic
DMean Momentum Signal: The strategy's primary engine is the DMean, which measures the percentage difference between the current closing price and a longer-term Moving Average (price_ma). It is then smoothed by a DMean Signal line (MA of the DMean).
Entry Signal: A trade is triggered when the DMean line crosses above (for Long) or below (for Short) its Signal Line, but it must clear a user-defined Dead Zone Threshold to confirm momentum commitment.
SD Filter Confirmation (Price Sync): A Standard Deviation Channel, based on a separate user-defined price source and period, is used to filter trades.
Long Filter: Allows Long entries only when the price is trading above the lower SD band, suggesting the current price action is stronger than the recent average volatility to the downside.
Short Filter: Allows Short entries only when the price is currently below the Filter Basis (SMA), confirming a bearish stance within the SD channel.
🛡️ Risk & Exit Management
Primary Exit: All trades are exited by reverse DMean Crossover/Crossunder, meaning the position is closed when the DMean momentum reverses against the open trade (e.g., DMean crosses under the Signal to exit a Long).
Hard Stop Loss (Short Trades): A mandatory percentage-based Hard Stop Loss is implemented only for short positions to protect against sudden upward price spikes, closing the trade if the loss exceeds the set percentage. (Note: This version does not include a Hard SL for Long trades).
📊 Performance Dashboard
A custom Performance Dashboard Table is displayed at the bottom right of the chart to provide real-time, at-a-glance comparison of the strategy's equity performance versus a simple Buy & Hold over the selected backtesting date range.
Advantage RSI PredictorThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a widely used momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, typically on a scale from 0 to 100, to identify overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30) conditions. However, its reliance on historical data limits its ability to predict future price movements. To overcome this, an advanced indicator—termed the Advanced RSI Predictor (ARP)—can be developed to provide predictive bands for RSI levels, enhancing its forecasting potential.The ARP leverages machine learning techniques, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, combined with traditional RSI calculations to forecast future RSI values and establish confidence intervals or bands. These bands represent a range within which the RSI is likely to fluctuate over a specified period, offering traders a probabilistic perspective on momentum shifts. The indicator starts with the standard RSI computation, using a 14-period lookback as a foundation, but enriches this by incorporating additional inputs like moving averages, volatility measures (e.g., Bollinger Bands width), and trading volume. These features are processed through an LSTM model trained on historical price and RSI data to predict future RSI trajectories.The output includes upper and lower predictive bands, typically set at a 95% confidence level, surrounding a central forecasted RSI line. For example, if the current RSI is 45, the ARP might project a band from 40 to 50 over the next five days, indicating potential momentum stability or a range for overbought/oversold thresholds. The bands adapt dynamically to market conditions—narrowing during stable trends and widening during volatile periods—using real-time data updates. This adaptability allows traders to anticipate breakouts or reversals before they manifest on the price chart.Validation can be strengthened through backtesting against historical data, ensuring the ARP’s bands align with significant market turns. This indicator proves especially valuable in trending markets, where traditional RSI levels (e.g., 70 or 30) may falter, offering a sophisticated tool for informed trading or investment decisions.

BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.

## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator provides signals for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Alerts are not guaranteed to be profitable and should be combined with your own analysis. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Always verify alerts against current market conditions before executing trades manually.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This indicator is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based alert generation, comprehensive alert condition system with customizable notifications, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, cooldown period for alert management, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), visual TP/SL reference lines, and real-time status monitoring table. This indicator version is specifically designed for manual traders who prefer alert-based decision making over automated execution.
HFT Jude FootprintThis script is designed to detect potential High-Frequency Trader (HFT) activity based on unusual volume spikes and candle behavior, in order to identify potential intraday breakout opportunities. It is best suited for 3-minute and 5-minute charts across NSE-listed stocks.
How It Works
The strategy combines three core conditions:
Volume Spike Multiplier: Detects when current volume is > X times the rolling average (e.g., 5× 20-bar average volume).
Breakout Confirmation: Entry is considered only if the close is:
Near the high (for longs) or low (for shorts) of the candle.
Higher than the previous high (for longs), or lower than previous low (for shorts).
Visual Signal: When all conditions align, a Buy or Sell label is plotted on the chart, right at the candle where the footprint is detected.
This script is tailored for scalpers, intraday traders, and HFT watchers. It is not a mash-up of generic indicators and based on my backtesting and observation of large HFT firms that operate in the indian equities market,
BB Crosses Optimized - [JTCAPITAL]BB Crosses Optimized - is a modified way to use Bollinger Bands combined with volatility filtering (ATR) and flexible smoothing methods for Trend-Following.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Source Selection & Smoothing
The script begins by letting the user select a preferred price source (default is Close, but options include Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.). This raw input is then passed through a smoothing process.
Multiple smoothing techniques can be chosen: SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, and FRAMA. Each method reduces short-term noise differently, ensuring flexibility for traders who prefer faster or slower reaction speeds in trend detection.
Bollinger Band Construction
Once the smoothed source is prepared, Bollinger Bands are calculated. The middle band is a moving average of the smoothed data over the defined BB Period . The upper and lower bands are then generated by adding and subtracting the Standard Deviation × Deviation multiplier . These dynamic bands capture volatility and help define breakout zones.
ATR Volatility Measurement
Parallel to the band calculation, the Average True Range (ATR) is computed over the chosen ATR Period . This measures market volatility. The ATR can optionally act as a filter, refining buy and sell levels so signals adapt to current market conditions rather than being fixed to price alone.
Bollinger Band Signals
-If the smoothed price closes above the upper band, a potential bullish event is marked.
-If the smoothed price closes below the lower band, a potential bearish event is marked.
Trend Line Construction
When a bullish event occurs, the script anchors a trend-following line beneath price. If ATR filtering is enabled, the line is set at Low – ATR , otherwise at the simple Low. Conversely, when a bearish event occurs, the line is anchored above price at High + ATR (or just High without the filter). The line is designed to only move in the direction of the trend—if price action does not exceed the prior value, the previous level is held. This prevents unnecessary whipsaws and keeps the indicator aligned with dominant momentum.
Final Trend Detection
The slope of the trend line defines the trend itself:
-Rising line → bullish trend.
-Falling line → bearish trend.
Visual Output
The indicator plots the trend line with dynamic coloring: Blue for bullish phases, Purple for bearish phases. A subtle filled background area emphasizes the active trend zone for clearer chart interpretation.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
- Buy Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes above the upper Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors below price (with or without ATR offset depending on settings).
- Sell Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes below the lower Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors above price (with or without ATR offset).
Additional filtering is possible via:
- ATR Toggle : Switch ATR on or off to adapt the strategy to either volatile or steady markets.
- Smoothing Method : Adjust smoothing to speed up or slow down responsiveness.
- Deviation Multiplier : Tight or wide bands adjust the sensitivity of signals.
Features and Parameters:
- Source : Choose between Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.
- Average Type : Options include SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, FRAMA.
- ATR Period : Defines how ATR volatility is measured.
- BB Period : Lookback length for Bollinger Band construction.
- Deviation : Multiplier for the standard deviation in Bollinger Bands.
- Smoothing Period : Controls how much the source data is smoothed.
- ATR Filter On/Off : Enables or disables ATR integration in signal calculation.
Specifications:
Smoothing (MA Types)
Smoothing is essential to reduce chart noise. By offering multiple MA choices, traders can balance between lag (SMA, RMA) and responsiveness (EMA, HMA, FRAMA). This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt across asset classes and trading styles.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands measure price deviation around a moving average. They help identify volatility expansion and contraction. In this script, the bands serve as breakout triggers—price crossing outside suggests momentum strong enough to sustain a trend.
Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion of price data around the mean. With a multiplier applied, it creates bands that contain a probabilistic portion of price action. Crossing beyond these suggests a higher likelihood of trend continuation.
ATR (Average True Range)
ATR measures the degree of volatility. Instead of simply reacting to price crossing the bands, ATR ensures the trend line placement adapts to current conditions. In volatile markets, wider buffers prevent premature signals; in calmer markets, tighter placement keeps signals responsive.
Trend Line Logic
The trend line only adjusts in the direction of the trend. If new values do not exceed the prior, the line remains unchanged. This prevents false reversals and makes the line a reliable visual confirmation of trend direction.
Signal Detection
The indicator does not repaint: signals are based on confirmed closes relative to the Bollinger Bands. This makes it more reliable for both live trading and backtesting scenarios.
Visual Enhancements
The use of dual plots and fill shading creates a clearer separation of bullish vs. bearish phases. This helps traders visually align entries and exits without second-guessing.

Opening Range IndicatorComplete Trading Guide: Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What Are Opening Ranges?
Opening ranges capture the high and low prices during the first few minutes of market open. These levels often act as key support and resistance throughout the trading day because:
Heavy volume occurs at market open as overnight orders execute
Institutional activity is concentrated during opening minutes
Price discovery happens as market participants react to overnight news
Psychological levels are established that traders watch all day
Understanding the Three Timeframes
OR5 (5-Minute Range: 9:30-9:35 AM)
Most sensitive - captures immediate market reaction
Quick signals but higher false breakout rate
Best for scalping and momentum trading
Use for early entry when conviction is high
OR15 (15-Minute Range: 9:30-9:45 AM)
Balanced approach - most popular among day traders
Moderate sensitivity with better reliability
Good for swing trades lasting several hours
Primary timeframe for most strategies
OR30 (30-Minute Range: 9:30-10:00 AM)
Most reliable but slower signals
Lower false breakout rate
Best for position trades and trend following
Use when looking for major moves
Core Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Basic Breakout
Setup:
Wait for price to break above OR15 high or below OR15 low
Enter on the breakout candle close
Stop loss: Opposite side of the range
Target: 2-3x the range size
Example:
OR15 range: $100.00 - $102.00 (Range = $2.00)
Long entry: Break above $102.00
Stop loss: $99.50 (below OR15 low)
Target: $104.00+ (2x range size)
Strategy 2: Multiple Confirmation
Setup:
Wait for OR5 break first (early signal)
Confirm with OR15 break in same direction
Enter on OR15 confirmation
Stop: Below OR30 if available, or OR15 opposite level
Why it works:
Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals and increases probability of sustained moves.
Strategy 3: Failed Breakout Reversal
Setup:
Price breaks OR15 level but fails to hold
Wait for re-entry into the range
Enter reversal trade toward opposite OR level
Stop: Recent breakout high/low
Target: Opposite side of range + extension
Key insight: Failed breakouts often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
Range Quality Assessment
High-Quality Ranges (Trade these):
Range size: 0.5% - 2% of stock price
Clean boundaries (not choppy)
Volume spike during range formation
Clear rejection at range levels
Low-Quality Ranges (Avoid these):
Very narrow ranges (<0.3% of stock price)
Extremely wide ranges (>3% of stock price)
Choppy, overlapping candles
Low volume during formation
Volume Confirmation
For Breakouts:
Look for volume spike (2x+ average) on breakout
Declining volume often signals false breakout
Rising volume during range formation shows interest
Market Context Filters
Best Conditions:
Trending market days (SPY/QQQ with clear direction)
Earnings reactions or news-driven moves
High-volume stocks with good liquidity
Volatility above average (VIX considerations)
Avoid Trading When:
Extremely low volume days
Major economic announcements pending
Holidays or half-days
Choppy, sideways market conditions
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Conservative: Risk 0.5% of account per trade
Moderate: Risk 1% of account per trade
Aggressive: Risk 2% maximum per trade
Stop Loss Placement
Inside the range: Quick exit but higher stop-out rate
Outside opposite level: More room but larger risk
ATR-based: 1.5-2x Average True Range below entry

Katz Impact Wave 🚀Overview of the Katz Impact Wave 🚀
The Katz Impact Wave is a momentum oscillator designed to visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. Instead of combining bullish and bearish pressure into a single line, it separates them into two distinct "Impact Waves."
Its primary goal is to generate clear trade signals by identifying when one side gains control, but only when the market has enough volatility to be considered "moving." This built-in filter helps to avoid signals during flat or choppy market conditions.
Indicator Components: Lines & Plots
Impact Waves & Fill
Green Wave (Total Up Impulses): This line represents the cumulative buying pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bulls are getting stronger.
Red Wave (Total Down Impulses): This line represents the cumulative selling pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bears are getting stronger.
Colored Fill: The shaded area between the two waves provides an at-a-glance view of who is in control.
Lime Fill: Bulls are dominant (Green Wave is above the Red Wave).
Red Fill: Bears are dominant (Red Wave is above the Green Wave).
Background Color
The background color provides crucial context about the market state according to the indicator's logic.
Green Background: The market is in a bullish state (Green Wave is dominant) AND the Rate of Change (ROC) filter confirms the market is actively moving.
Red Background: The market is in a bearish state (Red Wave is dominant) AND the ROC filter confirms the market is actively moving.
Gray Background: The market is considered "not moving" or is in a low-volatility chop. Signals that occur when the background is gray should be viewed with extreme caution or ignored.
Symbols & Pivot Lines
▲ Blue Triangle (Up): This is your long entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Green Wave crosses above the Red Wave while the market is moving.
▼ Orange Triangle (Down): This is your short entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Red Wave crosses above the Green Wave while the market is moving.
Pivot Lines (Solid Green/Red/White Lines): These lines mark confirmed peaks of exhaustion in momentum, not price.
Green Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Green Wave, signaling buying momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the uptrend is losing steam.
Red Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Red Wave, signaling selling momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the downtrend is losing steam.
▼ Yellow Triangle (Compression): This rare signal appears when buying and selling exhaustion pivots happen at the same level. It signifies a point of extreme indecision or equilibrium that often occurs before a major price expansion.
Trading Rules & Strategy
This indicator provides entry signals but does not provide explicit Take Profit or Stop Loss levels. You must use your own risk management rules.
Long Trade Rules
Entry Signal: Wait for a blue ▲ triangle to appear at the top of the indicator panel.
Confirmation: Ensure the background color is green, confirming the market is in a bullish, moving state.
Action: Enter a long (buy) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears.
Short Trade Rules
Entry Signal: Wait for an orange ▼ triangle to appear at the bottom of the indicator panel.
Confirmation: Ensure the background color is red, confirming the market is in a bearish, moving state.
Action: Enter a short (sell) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears.
Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL) Ideas
You must develop and test your own exit strategy. Here are some common approaches:
Stop Loss:
Place a stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart for a long trade, or above the recent swing high for a short trade.
Use an ATR (Average True Range) based stop, such as 2x the ATR value below your entry for a long, to account for market volatility.
Take Profit:
Opposite Signal: The simplest exit is to close your trade when the opposite signal appears (e.g., close a long trade when a short signal ▼ appears).
Momentum Exhaustion: For a long trade, consider taking partial or full profit when a green Pivot Line appears, signaling that buying momentum is peaking.
Fixed Risk/Reward: Use a predetermined risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).

Nikkei PER Curve (EPS Text Area Input)
This indicator visualizes the PER levels of the Nikkei 225 based on the dates and EPS data entered in the text area.
By plotting multiple PER multiplier lines, it helps users to understand the following:
Potential support and resistance levels based on PER multipliers
Comparison between the current stock price and theoretical valuation levels
Observation of PER trends and detection of deviations from standard valuation levels
Trading Decisions:
When the stock price approaches a specific PER line, it can serve as a reference for support or resistance.
During intraday chart analysis, PER lines are drawn based on the most recent EPS, making them useful as reference levels even during market hours.
Valuation Analysis:
On daily charts, it helps to assess whether the Nikkei is overvalued or undervalued compared to historical levels, or to identify changes in valuation levels.
Risk Management:
The theoretical price lines based on PER can be used as reference points for stop-loss or profit-taking decisions.
Simple Data Input:
EPS data is entered in a text area, one line per date, in comma-separated format:
YYYY/MM/DD,EPS
YYYY/MM/DD,EPS
Multiple entries can be input by using line breaks between each date.
Note: Dates for which no candlestick exists in the chart will not be displayed.
This allows easy updating of PER lines without complex spreadsheets or external tools.
EPS Data Input: Manual input of date and EPS via the text area; supports multiple data entries.
PER Multiplier Lines:
For evenly spaced lines, simply set the central multiplier and the interval between lines. The indicator automatically generates 11 lines (center ±5 lines).
For non-even spacing or individual multiplier settings, you can choose to adjust each line.
Close PER Labels: Displays the PER of the close price relative to the current EPS.
Timeframe Limitation: Use on daily charts (1D) or lower. PER lines cannot be displayed on higher timeframes.
Label Customization: Allows adjustment of text size, color, and position.
EPS Parsing: The indicator reads the input text area line by line, splitting each line by a comma to obtain the date and EPS value.
Data Storage: The dates and EPS values are stored in arrays. These arrays allow the script to efficiently look up the latest EPS for any given date.
PER Calculation: For each chart bar, the indicator calculates the theoretical price for multiple PER multipliers using the formula:
Theoretical Price = EPS × PER multiplier
Line Plotting: PER lines are drawn at these calculated price levels. Labels are optionally displayed for the close price PER.
Date Matching: If a date from the EPS data does not exist as a candlestick on the chart, the corresponding PER line is not plotted.
PER lines are theoretical values: They serve as psychological reference points and do not always act as true support or resistance.
Market Conditions: Lines may be broken depending on market circumstances.
Accuracy of EPS Data: Be careful with EPS input errors, as incorrect data will result in incorrect PER curves.
Input Format: Dates and EPS must be correctly comma-separated and entered one per line. Dates with no corresponding candlestick on the chart will not be plotted. Incorrect formatting may prevent lines from displaying.
Reliability: No method guarantees success in trading; use in combination with backtesting and other technical analysis tools.

The Best Strategy Template[LuciTech]Hello Traders,
This is a powerful and flexible strategy template designed to help you create, backtest, and deploy your own custom trading strategies. This template is not a ready-to-use strategy but a framework that simplifies the development process by providing a wide range of pre-built features and functionalities.
What It Does
The LuciTech Strategy Template provides a robust foundation for building your own automated trading strategies. It includes a comprehensive set of features that are essential for any serious trading strategy, allowing you to focus on your unique trading logic without having to code everything from scratch.
Key Features
The LuciTech Strategy Template integrates several powerful features to enhance your strategy development:
•
Advanced Risk Management: This includes robust controls for defining your Risk Percentage per Trade, setting a precise Risk-to-Reward Ratio, and implementing an intelligent Breakeven Stop-Loss mechanism that automatically adjusts your stop to the entry price once a specified profit threshold is reached. These elements are crucial for capital preservation and consistent profitability.
•
Flexible Stop-Loss Options: The template offers adaptable stop-loss calculation methods, allowing you to choose between ATR-Based Stop-Loss, which dynamically adjusts to market volatility, and Candle-Based Stop-Loss, which uses structural price points from previous candles. This flexibility ensures the stop-loss strategy aligns with diverse trading styles.
•
Time-Based Filtering: Optimize your strategy's performance by restricting trading activity to specific hours of the day. This feature allows you to avoid unfavorable market conditions or focus on periods of higher liquidity and volatility relevant to your strategy.
•
Customizable Webhook Alerts: Stay informed with advanced notification capabilities. The template supports sending detailed webhook alerts in various JSON formats (Standard, Telegram, Concise Telegram) to external platforms, facilitating real-time monitoring and potential integration with automated trading systems.
•
Comprehensive Visual Customization: Enhance your analytical clarity with extensive visual options. You can customize the colors of entry, stop-loss, and take-profit lines, and effectively visualize market inefficiencies by displaying and customizing Fair Value Gap (FVG) boxes directly on your chart.
How It Does It
The LuciTech Strategy Template is meticulously crafted using Pine Script, TradingView's powerful and expressive programming language. The underlying architecture is designed for clarity and modularity, allowing for straightforward integration of your unique trading signals. At its core, the template operates by taking user-defined entry and exit conditions and then applying a sophisticated layer of risk management, position sizing, and trade execution logic.
For instance, when a longCondition or shortCondition is met, the template dynamically calculates the appropriate position size. This calculation is based on your specified risk_percent of equity and the stop_distance (the distance between your entry price and the calculated stop-loss level). This ensures that each trade adheres to your predefined risk parameters, a critical component of disciplined trading.
The flexibility in stop-loss calculation is achieved through a switch statement that evaluates the sl_type input. Whether you choose an ATR-based stop, which adapts to market volatility, or a candle-based stop, which uses structural price points, the template seamlessly integrates these methods. The ATR calculation itself is further refined by allowing various smoothing methods (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA), providing granular control over how volatility is measured.
Time-based filtering is implemented by comparing the current bar's time with user-defined start_hour, start_minute, end_hour, and end_minute inputs. This allows the strategy to activate or deactivate trading during specific market sessions or periods of the day, a valuable tool for optimizing performance and avoiding unfavorable conditions.
Furthermore, the template incorporates advanced webhook alert functionality. When a trade is executed, a customizable JSON message is formatted based on your webhook_format selection (Standard, Telegram, or Concise Telegram) and sent via alert function. This enables seamless integration with external services for real-time notifications or even automated trade execution through third-party platforms.
Visual feedback is paramount for understanding strategy behavior. The template utilizes plot and fill functions to clearly display entry prices, stop-loss levels, and take-profit targets directly on the chart. Customizable colors for these elements, along with dedicated options for Fair Value Gap (FVG) boxes, enhance the visual analysis during backtesting and live trading, making it easier to interpret the strategy's actions.
How It's Original
The LuciTech Strategy Template distinguishes itself in the crowded landscape of TradingView scripts through its unique combination of integrated, advanced risk management features, highly flexible stop-loss methodologies, and sophisticated alerting capabilities, all within a user-friendly and modular framework. While many templates offer basic entry/exit signal integration, LuciTech goes several steps further by providing a robust, ready-to-use infrastructure for managing the entire trade lifecycle once a signal is generated.
Unlike templates that might require users to piece together various risk management components or code complex stop-loss logic from scratch, LuciTech offers these critical functionalities out-of-the-box. The inclusion of dynamic position sizing based on a user-defined risk percentage, a configurable risk-to-reward ratio, and an intelligent breakeven mechanism significantly elevates its utility. This comprehensive approach to capital preservation and profit targeting is a cornerstone of professional trading and is often overlooked or simplified in generic templates.
Furthermore, the template's provision for multiple stop-loss calculation types—ATR-based for volatility adaptation, and candle-based for structural support/resistance—demonstrates a deep understanding of diverse trading strategies. The underlying code for these calculations is already implemented, saving developers considerable time and effort. The subtle yet powerful inclusion of FVG (Fair Value Gap) related inputs also hints at advanced price action concepts, offering a sophisticated layer of analysis and execution that is not commonly found in general-purpose templates.
The advanced webhook alerting system, with its support for various JSON formats tailored for platforms like Telegram, showcases an originality in catering to the needs of modern, automated trading setups. This moves beyond simple TradingView pop-up alerts, enabling seamless integration with external systems for real-time trade monitoring and execution. This level of external connectivity and customizable data output is a significant differentiator.
In essence, the LuciTech Strategy Template is original not just in its individual features, but in how these features are cohesively integrated to form a powerful, opinionated, yet highly adaptable system. It empowers traders to focus their creative energy on developing their core entry/exit signals, confident that the underlying framework will handle the complexities of risk management, trade execution, and external communication with precision and flexibility. It's a comprehensive solution designed to accelerate the development of robust and professional trading strategies.
How to Modify the Logic to Apply Your Strategy
The LuciTech Strategy Template is designed with modularity in mind, making it exceptionally straightforward to integrate your unique trading strategy logic. The template provides a clear separation between the core strategy management (risk, position sizing, exits) and the entry signal generation. This allows you to easily plug in your own buy and sell conditions without altering the robust underlying framework.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to adapt the template to your specific trading strategy:
1.
Locate the Strategy Logic Section:
Open the Pine Script editor in TradingView and navigate to the section clearly marked with the comment //Strategy Logic Example:. This is where the template’s placeholder entry conditions (a simple moving average crossover) are defined.
2.
Define Your Custom Entry Conditions:
Within this section, you will find variables such as longCondition and shortCondition. These are boolean variables that determine when a long or short trade should be initiated. Replace the existing example logic with your own custom buy and sell conditions. Your conditions can be based on any combination of indicators, price action patterns, candlestick formations, or other market analysis techniques. For example, if your strategy involves a combination of RSI and MACD, you would define longCondition as (rsi > 50 and macd_line > signal_line) and shortCondition as (rsi < 50 and macd_line < signal_line).
3.
Leverage the Template’s Built-in Features:
Once your longCondition and shortCondition are defined, the rest of the template automatically takes over. The integrated risk management module will calculate the appropriate position size based on your Risk % input and the chosen Stop Loss Type. The Risk:Reward ratio will determine your take-profit levels, and the Breakeven at R feature will manage your stop-loss dynamically. The time filter (Use Time Filter) will ensure your trades only occur within your specified hours, and the webhook alerts will notify you of trade executions.

FU + SMI Validator (Proper FU, 30m)Overview
The FU + SMI Validator is a sophisticated technical analysis indicator designed to detect Proper FU (Fakeouts or Liquidity Sweeps) on the 30-minute timeframe. This tool aims to help traders identify high-probability reversal setups that occur when price briefly breaks key levels (sweeping liquidity), then reverses with momentum confirmation.
Fakeouts are common market events where price action “hunts stops” before reversing direction. Correctly identifying these events can offer excellent entry points with defined risk. This indicator combines price action logic with momentum and volatility filters to provide reliable signals.
Core Concepts
Proper FU (Fakeout) Detection
At its core, the script identifies proper fakeouts by checking if the current bar’s price:
For bullish fakeouts: dips below the previous bar’s low (sweeping stops) and then closes above the previous bar’s high
For bearish fakeouts: spikes above the previous bar’s high and then closes below the previous bar’s low
This ensures that the breakout is a true sweep rather than just a one-sided close.
Optionally, the script can require one additional confirmation bar after the FU, ensuring that the momentum is sustained and reducing false signals.
SMI-style Momentum Validation
To improve the quality of signals, the indicator uses a proxy for the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) by calculating the difference between current and past linear regression slopes of price. This momentum check helps ensure that fakeouts occur alongside actual directional strength.
Key points:
Momentum must be increasing in the direction of the FU signal.
Momentum filters can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Squeeze Condition to Avoid Low-Volatility Traps
The script includes a volatility filter based on a squeeze-like condition:
It compares Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC).
When BB bands contract inside KC bands, the market is in a squeeze state, signaling low volatility.
Fakeouts during squeeze conditions are often unreliable; the script can filter these out to reduce false alarms.
Killzone Session Timing Filter
Recognizing that liquidity and volatility vary by session, this tool supports optional filtering for:
London Killzone: 09:00 to 10:30 (UK time)
New York Killzone: 13:00 to 14:30 (UK time)
Signals only trigger during these high-activity windows if enabled, helping traders focus on periods with the best liquidity and market participation.
Note: For Killzone filtering to work accurately, your TradingView chart must be set to the UK timezone.

How to Use This Indicator
Apply to 30-minute charts for forex pairs, indices, cryptocurrencies, or other instruments.
Set your chart timezone to UK time if using Killzone filters.

Why Use FU + SMI Validator?
Fakeouts are some of the most lucrative but tricky setups for many traders. Without proper filters, they can lead to false entries and losses. This script integrates price action, momentum, volatility, and session timing into one package, providing a robust tool to spot high-quality fakeout opportunities and improve trading confidence.
Limitations
Requires chart to be set to UK timezone for session filters.
Designed specifically for 30-minute timeframe — performance on other timeframes may vary.
Momentum is a proxy, not a direct SMI calculation.
Like all indicators, best used in conjunction with sound risk management and other analysis tools.
Potential Enhancements
Conversion into a full strategy script for backtesting entries and exits.
Addition of other momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) or volume filters.
Customizable time zones or auto time zone detection.
Multi-timeframe analysis capabilities.

DMI Toolbox StrategyThe Directional Movement Index (DMI) was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978. Wilder introduced the DMI along with the Average Directional Index (ADX) in his book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems,” which became a foundational reference for technical analysis.
The indicator can offer a myriad of signals for building a trading strategy. In an effort to provide the user with a meaningful way to evaluate these signals, this DMI Toolbox Strategy offers the chance to back-test various combinations and permutations of DMI signals on long trades. By default it will open a long position on the +DI (upward movement) crossing above the -DI (downward movement). By default, It exits long positions when the ADX (trend strength) reverses.
Suggested Use
Try a wide variety of long entry and exit signals across many different timeframes to see what is most effective for the item you wish to trade. There is a table in the upper right corner that will give a quick view of which signal is dominant across 5 timeframes, based on your current settings. Adjust the pyramidding, slippage, and commission values to more closely match your situation.
Visual Helpers
The DMI indicator has been altered to include a smoothed version of the ADX, as well as a colored background to show which signal is dominant (+DI or -DI). Small up arrows call your attention to ADX crossovers that may indicate a significant threshold in trend strength.
