EBB & Flow: a multi-EMA-based BB cloudIntro
This is an idea evolved out of the market maker method and EMA convergence, divergence, and mean reversion.
The market maker method informs us that the 5, 13, 50 and 200 EMAs are important to regulating price. Those EMA lengths are multiples of the 50 and 200 on lower major timeframes -- the 1 minute, 5, 15, 1H, 4H, 1D. I include the 21 because it is also a multiple and in crypto very often respected.
When market makers are testing price, they set their range and spike in the direction they test for liquidity. This can get chaotic. For instance, in a shorter time frame consolidation inside a bigger timeframe uptrend, it can be too easy to forget where you are in the many trends playing out.
When the EMAs are dragged over each other during normal price movement, you get these crisscrossing tracks of price, and the individual breaks can be hard to trace.
The range is what matters, ultimately, and the range is dynamic. In that case, the Bollinger Band is a great tool for detecting outliers in this case.
The Answer
So the answer this indicator seeks to give, is to look for outliers. This gives you a scalping strategy built on Traders Reality thinking and best put together with the PVSRA indicator, which I may include in this indicator just for the sake of concision, but they can work alongside each other or separately.
The key thing is the different EMA clouds, which are bollinger bands. Tight bands mean imminent breaks, favouring the trend. Vector candles out of a zone, pins to the low/high, etc. are all very relevant alongside this indicator.
You can also use it on its own and scalp the breaks of a cloud.
How it works
Each cloud is a standard deviation from their respective EMA, all in the same colour. The deviation multiple is 1.618 by default. Yes, fibonacci sequences are usually nonsense, but it works better with the BB than 2, 2.5 or 3.
Using just the clouds, you can see where each EMA is headed and how it behaves within the deviation of the others.
But that on its own isn't enough.
The indicator will also print snowflakes above and below the candle for notable outliers. It will be in the colour of the cloud it breaks, but only if that break is also breaking the smaller EMA clouds too.
The most snowflakes will be yellow because that's the 13 EMA. That one is dependent on nothing else and every break will print a snowflake. The 21 will be dependent on the 13. The 50 dependent on the 13 and 21 breaks. The 200 the most important.
For example, if the 200 EMA-BB or EBB is broken at the upper band, deviating by more than 162% of price over a 200 period EMA, and that break is not above the 50 EMA cloud, there will be no snowflake. However, if it exceeds the 13, 21, 50, and 200 clouds, then a purple snowflake will appear above the bar.
Any snowflake is an extreme in price. The purple is an especially good point of entry. That doesn't mean it is a perfect entry. You can build position from it, though, and be relatively certain of a price correction in the near future, because not only was this major EMA cloud violated, but all of the smaller ones too.
Reminder
You still need your PVSRA and candlesticks. This indicator on its own may have a nice hit rate for scalping and building position, as an alternative to the TDI or alongside it, but it is not enough on its own, just like the TDI.
Enjoy!
RSI Divergence X Ichimoku Cloud X 200EMAHi all,
This script is a combination of the RSI Divergence Strategy combined with Ichimoku Cloud and 200 EMA .
A long position is entered only when the RSI identifies a bullish divergence (either regular or hidden), and that the Ichimoku Cloud is above the 200 EMA . This is to ensure that there is a confirmation of a bullish trend before an entry.
Similarly, a short position is entered only when the RSI identified a bearish divergence (either regular or hidden), and that the Ichimoku Cloud is below the 200 EMA . This is to ensure that there is a confirmation of a bearish trend before an entry.
I find that this script works best on Intraday charts.
This is just a simple script I built on my third attempt of backtesting strategies on TradingView. Do give it a go and let me know if you guys have any feedback or comments about it. Happy trading!
ScalpyScalpy is made up of a 2 main parts.
- The cloud comprising of a 10 period SMA and a 30 period SMA.
- When the cloud is green you should be looking for long entries.
- When the cloud is red you should be looking for short entries.
- Price is most bullish above a green cloud and most bearish below a red cloud.
- Being within the cloud indicates indecision.
The blue and white lines on the indicator show the relationship between price and momentum.
They can be used to spot reversals in two ways:
- The first is a divergence between price (blue line) and RSI (white line)
- If the price makes a lower low but the RSI makes a higher low this shows the trend is weakening and may be reversing soon (as can be seen by the two yellow lines on the chart).
The second is a simple crossover:
- When the white line crosses the blue line to the upside this signals a long entry.
- When the white line crosses the blue line to the downside this signals a short entry.
Amazing Crossover System - 100+ pips per day!I got the main concept for this system on another site. While I have made one important change, I must stress that the heart of this system was created by someone else! We must give credit where credit is due!
Y'all know baby pips. @ForexPhantom published about this system and did both back and forward test around 10 years ago.
I found it on the sit and now I put it to code to see how it performs. I assume 10 points spread for every trade. I use Renesource or AxiTrader to get the low spreads.
There are 2 mods, the single trades and constant trading on the direction.
Main concept
Indicators
5 EMA -- YELLOW
10 EMA -- RED
RSI (10 - Apply to Median Price: HL/2) -- One level at 50.
TIME FRAME
1 Hour Only (very important!)
PAIRS
Virtually any pair seems to work as this is strictly technical analysis.
I recommend sticking to the main currencies and avoiding cross currencies (just his preference).
WHEN TO ENTER A TRADE
Enter LONG when the Yellow EMA crosses the Red EMA from underneath.
RSI must be approaching 50 from the BOTTOM and cross 50 to warrant entry.
Enter SHORT when the Yellow EMA crosses the Red EMA from the top.
RSI must be approaching 50 from the TOP and cross 50 to warrant entry.
I've attached a picture which demonstrates all these conditions.
That's it!

Build A BotThis is the Robot we built during the 60 Minute Build-A-Bot webinar on September 12, 2018. We had a great time, and a lot of participation and the best part was that we finished up this robot and even ran a backtest in exactly 60 minutes! We built this robot based on recommendations and suggestions from those who were attending live. Lots of pieces in this robot, but you can always tinker with it, remove stuff, add things, whatever you want!
This version uses the CCI as a trigger for trade entry. The other version uses the Hull Moving Average as a trigger for trade entry.

TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1×ATR, TP = 2×ATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.
---
## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensible—both for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.
Enhanced MA Crossover Pro📝 Strategy Summary: Enhanced MA Crossover Pro
This strategy is an advanced, highly configurable moving average (MA) crossover system designed for algorithmic trading. It uses the crossover of two customizable MAs (a "Fast" MA 1 and a "Slow" MA 2) as its core entry signal, but aggressively integrates multiple technical filters, time controls, and dynamic position management to create a robust and comprehensive trading system.
💡 Core Logic
Entry Signal: A bullish crossover (MA1 > MA2) generates a Long signal, and a bearish crossover (MA1 < MA2) generates a Short signal. Users can opt to use MA crossovers from a Higher Timeframe (HTF) for the entry signal.
Confirmation/Filters: The basic MA cross signal is filtered by several optional indicators (see Filters section below) to ensure trades align with a broader trend or momentum context.
Position Management: Trades are managed with a sophisticated system of Stop Loss, Take Profit, Trailing Stops, and Breakeven stops that can be fixed, ATR-based, or dynamically adjusted.
Risk Management: Daily limits are enforced for maximum profit/loss and maximum trades per day.
⚙️ Key Features and Customization
1. Moving Averages
Primary MAs (MA1 & MA2): Highly configurable lengths (default 8 & 20) and types: EMA, WMA, SMA, or SMMA/RMA.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) MAs: Optional MAs calculated on a user-defined resolution (e.g., "60" for 1-hour) for use as an entry signal or as a trend confirmation filter.
2. Multi-Filter System
The entry signal can be filtered by the following optional conditions:
SMA Filter: Price must be above a 200-period SMA for long trades, and below it for short trades.
VWAP Filter: Price must be above VWAP for long trades, and below it for short trades.
RSI Filter: Long trades are blocked if RSI is overbought (default 70); short trades are blocked if RSI is oversold (default 30).
MACD Filter: Requires the MACD Line to be above the Signal Line for long trades (and vice versa for short trades).
HTF Confirmation: Requires the HTF MA1 to be above HTF MA2 for long entries (and vice versa).
3. Dynamic Stop and Target Management (S/L & T/P)
The strategy provides extensive control over exits:
Stop Loss Methods:
Fixed: Fixed tick amount.
ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Capped ATR: ATR stop limited by a maximum fixed tick amount.
Exit on Close Cross MA: Position is closed if the price crosses back over the chosen MA (MA1 or MA2).
Breakeven Stop: A stop can be moved to the entry price once a trigger distance (fixed ticks or Adaptive Breakeven based on ATR%) is reached.
Trailing Stop: Can be fixed or ATR-based, with an optional feature to auto-tighten the trailing multiplier after the breakeven condition is met.
Profit Target: Can be a fixed tick amount or a dynamic target based on an ATR multiplier.
4. Time and Session Control
Trading Session: Trades are only taken between defined Start/End Hours and Minutes (e.g., 9:30 to 16:00).
Forced Close: All open positions are closed near the end of the session (e.g., 15:45).
Trading Days: Allows specific days of the week to be enabled or disabled for trading.
5. Risk and Position Limits
Daily Profit/Loss Limits: The strategy tracks daily realized and unrealized PnL in ticks and will close all positions and block new entries if the user-defined maximum profit or maximum loss is hit.
Max Trades Per Day: Limits the number of executed trades in a single day.
🎨 Outputs and Alerts
Plots: Plots the MA1, MA2, SMA, VWAP, and HTF MAs (if enabled) on the chart.
Shapes: Plots visual markers (BUY/SELL labels) on the bar where the MA crossover occurs.
Trailing Stop: Plots the dynamic trailing stop level when a position is open.
Alerts: Generates JSON-formatted alerts for entry ({"action":"buy", "price":...}) and exit ({"action":"exit", "position":"long", "price":...}).
BB Simple B-Xtrender Long### Overview
I currently us this on a 1 week timeframe to spot trend shifts in the market.
It focuses exclusively on long positions (buying assets expecting price increases) and does not overlay on the main price chart—instead, it appears in a separate pane. The strategy allocates the full available equity to each trade and accounts for commissions as a percentage. It uses a custom indicator called the "B-Xtrender" to generate entry and exit signals for long trades, based on momentum-like calculations involving exponential moving averages (EMAs) and the relative strength index (RSI). The indicator is computed on a user-specified timeframe, and the strategy includes alert conditions for key events.
### Inputs Section
The script begins with user-configurable inputs that allow customization without editing the code directly. These include:
- Three integer values for short-term lengths: The first (default 5) and second (default 20) are used in EMA calculations to create a difference that forms the basis of the indicator. The third (default 15) sets the length for the RSI applied to that difference.
- A timeframe input (default "30" for 30 minutes) that determines the resolution for fetching data used in the indicator.
- A float value for the exit level (default 5, with a minimum of 0 and step of 0.1), which acts as a threshold for one of the exit conditions—specifically, when the indicator crosses below this level.
These inputs make the strategy adaptable to different assets or timeframes by adjusting the sensitivity of the indicator and exit rules.
### Indicator Section
The core of the script is the calculation of the "ShortTermXtrender" indicator. It fetches data from the specified timeframe using the asset's ticker symbol and computes an RSI on the difference between two EMAs of the closing prices (using the first and second short lengths), then subtracts 50 to center it around zero. This results in an oscillator that highlights short-term momentum shifts.
The histogram is colored dynamically:
- Green shades for positive values: Brighter green if the current value is higher than the previous (indicating strengthening upward momentum), and darker green otherwise.
- Red shades for negative or zero values: Brighter red if the current value is higher than the previous (less negative, but still downward), and darker red if it's decreasing further.
The indicator is plotted as columns for visual clarity, titled "B-Xtrender TF1" (referring to the first timeframe). A dashed gray horizontal line at zero serves as a centerline to easily distinguish positive (bullish) from negative (bearish) territories.
### Conditions Section
This part defines the logic for entering and exiting long trades, broken into entry and exit rules.
For long entries:
- One condition checks if the indicator is increasing (current value greater than the previous).
- Another optional condition detects a crossover above zero while also increasing, which can be removed if not desired.
- The final entry signal combines these: It triggers on either the crossover (if included) or the increasing value, promoting entries during upward momentum.
For long exits:
- A "red" state is defined as the indicator being at or below zero.
- A decreasing trend over two bars is checked by comparing the current to the previous, and the previous to the one before that.
- One exit triggers on this red state combined with the two-bar decrease.
- Another exit occurs when the indicator crosses below the user-defined exit level.
- The overall exit combines these two, ensuring positions close on weakening momentum or threshold breaches, but only if a long position is active.
### Strategy Execution Section
Here, the script applies the conditions to actual trading actions:
- On a long entry signal, it enters a long position labeled "Long," using the full strategy parameters for sizing and direction.
- On a long exit signal (and only if holding a positive position size), it closes the "Long" position. The comment for the close order specifies the reason: either crossing below the exit level (including the level value) or due to the red histogram with a two-bar decline.
This setup ensures automated trade management based solely on the indicator's behavior.
### Alerts Section
The script sets up three alert conditions that can notify users via TradingView's alert system:
- One for the crossover-based long entry, with a message indicating the indicator crossed above zero and is rising, signaling a long opportunity.
- Another for the increasing-value long entry, noting the indicator's rise on the specified timeframe as a long signal.
- A third for the red histogram with two-bar decline exit, warning of the condition to exit a long position.
These alerts are independent of the strategy execution and can be used for manual trading or monitoring even if the automated strategy isn't running.
Candle Breakout StrategyShort description (one-liner)
Candle Breakout Strategy — identifies a user-specified candle (UTC time), draws its high/low range, then enters on breakouts with configurable stop-loss, take-profit (via Risk:Reward) and optional alerts.
Full description (ready-to-paste)
Candle Breakout Strategy
Version 1.0 — Strategy script (Pine v5)
Overview
The Candle Breakout Strategy automatically captures a single "range candle" at a user-specified UTC time, draws its high/low as a visible box and dashed level lines, and waits for a breakout. When price closes above the range high it enters a Long; when price closes below the range low it enters a Short. Stop-loss is placed at the opposite range boundary and take-profit is calculated with a user-configurable Risk:Reward multiplier. Alerts for entries can be enabled.
This strategy is intended for breakout style trading where a clearly defined intraday range is established at a fixed time. It is simple, transparent and easy to adapt to multiple symbols and timeframes.
How it works (step-by-step)
On every bar the script checks the current UTC time.
When the first bar that matches the configured Target Hour:Target Minute (UTC) appears, the script records that candle’s high and low. This defines the breakout range.
A box and dashed lines are drawn on the chart to display the range and extended to the right while the range is active.
The script then waits for price to close outside the box:
Close > Range High → Long entry
Close < Range Low → Short entry
When an entry triggers:
Stop-loss = opposite range boundary (range low for longs, range high for shorts).
Take-profit = entry ± (risk × Risk:Reward). Risk is computed as the distance between entry price and stop-loss.
After entry the range becomes inactive (waitingForBreakout = false) until the next configured target time.
Inputs / Parameters
Target Hour (UTC) — the hour (0–23) in UTC when the range candle is detected.
Target Minute — minute (0–59) of the target candle.
Risk:Reward Ratio — multiplier for computing take profit from risk (0.5–10). Example: 2 means TP = entry + 2×risk.
Enable Alerts — turn on/off entry alerts (string message sent once per bar when an entry occurs).
Show Last Box Only (internal behavior) — when enabled the previous box is deleted at the next range creation so only the most recent range is visible (default behavior in the script).
Visuals & On-chart Info
A semi-transparent blue box shows the recorded range and extends to the right while active.
Dashed horizontal lines mark the range high and low.
On-chart shapes: green triangle below bar for Long signals, red triangle above bar for Short signals.
An information table (top-right) displays:
Target Time (UTC)
Active Range (Yes / No)
Range High
Range Low
Risk:Reward
Alerts
If Enable Alerts is on, the script sends an alert with the following formats when an entry occurs:
Long alert:
🟢 LONG SIGNAL
Entry Price:
Stop Loss:
Take Profit:
Short alert:
🔴 SHORT SIGNAL
Entry Price:
Stop Loss:
Take Profit:
Use TradingView's alert dialog to create alerts based on the script — select the script’s alert condition or use the alert() messages.
Recommended usage & tips
Timeframe: This strategy works on any timeframe but the definition of "candle at target time" depends on the chart timeframe. For intraday breakout styles, use 1m — 60m charts depending on the session you want to capture.
Target Time: Choose a time that is meaningful for the instrument (e.g., market open, economic release, session overlap). All times are handled in UTC.
Position Sizing: The script’s example uses strategy.percent_of_equity with 100% default — change default_qty_value or strategy settings to suit your risk management.
Filtering: Consider combining this breakout with trend filters (EMA, ADX, etc.) to reduce false breakouts.
Backtesting: Always backtest over a sufficiently large and recent sample. Pay attention to slippage and commission settings in TradingView’s strategy tester.
Known behavior & limitations
The script registers the breakout on close outside the recorded range. If you prefer intrabar breakout rules (e.g., high/low breach without close), you must adjust the condition accordingly.
The recorded range is taken from a single candle at the exact configured UTC time. If there are missing bars or the chart timeframe doesn't align, the intended candle may differ — choose the target time and chart timeframe consistently.
Only a single active position is allowed at a time (the script checks strategy.position_size == 0 before entries).
Example setups
EURUSD (Forex): Target Time 07:00 UTC — captures London open range.
Nifty / Index: Target Time 09:15 UTC — captures local session open range.
Crypto: Target Time 00:00 UTC — captures daily reset candle for breakout.
Risk disclaimer
This script is educational and provided as-is. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use proper risk management, test on historical data, and consider slippage and commissions. Do not trade real capital without sufficient testing.
Change log
v1.0 — Initial release: range capture, box and level drawing, long/short entry by close breakout, SL at opposite boundary, TP via Risk:Reward, alerts, info table.
If you want, I can also:
Provide a short README version (2–3 lines) for the TradingView “Short description” field.
Add a couple of suggested alert templates for the TradingView alert dialog (if you want alerts that include variable placeholders).
Convert the disclaimer into multiple language versions.
VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6 - AdvancedThese are a few updates made to the original script. The daily take profit and stop loss functions correctly for 1 contract but because of the pyramiding input even if not used you'll need to multiply the values by the number of contracts to keep consistent results. I have been unable to correct that function. Let me know if you test the script and have any recommendations for improvement. If trading an actual account I do recommend setting hard daily limits with your provider because there is still slippage from the original exit alerts even with the daily stop loss in place.
1. Real-Time Execution & Hard PnL Limits (The Focus)
The most critical changes were implemented to ensure the daily profit and loss limits act as hard, real-time barriers instead of waiting for the candle to close.
• Intrabar Tick Execution: The parameter calc_on_every_tick=true was added to the strategy() declaration. This forces the entire script to re-evaluate its logic on every single price update (tick), enabling immediate action.
• Real-Time PnL Tracking: The PnL calculation was updated to track the total_daily_pnl by summing the realized profit/loss (from closed trades) and the unrealized profit/loss (strategy.openprofit) on every tick.
• Immediate Closure: The script now checks the total_daily_pnl against the user-defined limits (daily_take_profit_value, daily_stop_loss_value) and immediately executes strategy.close_all() the moment the threshold is breached, preventing further trading.
• Combined Risk Enforcement: The user-defined "Max Intraday Risk ($)" and the "Daily Stop Loss (Value)" are compared, and the script enforces the tighter of the two limits.
2. Visibility and External Alerting
To address the unavoidable issue of slippage (which causes price overshoot in fast markets even with tick execution), dedicated alert mechanisms were added.
• Dedicated Alert Condition: An alertcondition named DAILY PNL LIMIT REACHED was added. This allows you to set up a TradingView alert that triggers the instant the daily_limit_reached variable turns true, giving you the fastest possible notification.
• Visual Marker: A large red triangle (\u25b2) is plotted on the chart using plotchar at the exact moment the daily limit condition is met, providing a clear visual confirmation of the trigger bar.
3. Strategy Features and Input Flexibility
Several user-requested features were integrated to make the strategy more robust and customizable.
• Trailing Stop / Breakeven (TSL/BE): A new exit option, Fixed Ticks + TSL, was added, allowing you to set a fixed profit target while also deploying a trailing stop or breakeven level based on points/ticks gained.
• Multiple Exit Types: The exit strategy was expanded to include logic for several types: Fixed Ticks, ATR-based, Capped ATR-based, VWAP Cross, and Price/Band Crosses.
• Pyramiding Control: An input Max Pyramiding Entries was introduced to control how many positions the strategy can have open at the same time.
• Confirmation Logic Toggle: Added an input to choose how multiple confirmation indicators (RSI, SMMA, MACD) are combined: "AND" (all must be true) or "OR" (at least one must be true).
• Indicator Confirmations: Logic for three external indicators—RSI, SMMA (EMA), and MACD—was fully integrated to act as optional filters for entry.
• VWAP Reset Anchors: Logic was corrected to properly reset the VWAP calculation based on the selected period ("Daily", "Weekly", or "Session") by using Pine Script v6's required anchor series.
Trading Day Filters: Inputs were added to select which specific days of the week the strategy is allowed to trade.

SigmaRevert: Z-Score Adaptive Mean Reversion [KedArc Quant]🔍 Overview
SigmaRevert is a clean, research-driven mean-reversion framework built on Z-Score deviation — a statistical measure of how far the current price diverges from its dynamic mean.
When price stretches too far from equilibrium (the mean), SigmaRevert identifies the statistical “sigma distance” and seeks reversion trades back toward it. Designed primarily for 5-minute intraday use, SigmaRevert automatically adapts to volatility via ATR-based scaling, optional higher-timeframe trend filters, and cooldown logic for controlled frequency
🧠 What “Sigma” Means Here
In statistics, σ (sigma) represents standard deviation, the measure of dispersion or variability.
SigmaRevert uses this concept directly:
Each bar’s price deviation from the mean is expressed as a Z-Score — the number of sigmas away from the mean.
When Z > 1.5, the price is statistically “over-extended”; when it returns toward 0, it reverts to the mean.
In short:
Sigma = Standard deviation distance
SigmaRevert = Trading the reversion of extreme sigma deviations
💡 Why Traders Use SigmaRevert
Quant-based clarity: removes emotion by relying on statistical extremes.
Volatility-adaptive: automatically adjusts to changing market noise.
Low drawdown: filters avoid over-exposure during strong trends.
Multi-market ready: works across stocks, indices, and crypto with parameter tuning.
Modular design: every component can be toggled without breaking the core logic.
🧩 Why This Is NOT a Mash-Up
Unlike “mash-up” scripts that randomly combine indicators, this strategy is built around one cohesive hypothesis:
“Price deviations from a statistically stable mean (Z-Score) tend to revert.”
Every module — ATR scaling, cooldown, HTF trend gating, exits — reinforces that single hypothesis rather than mixing unrelated systems (like RSI + MACD + EMA).
The structure is minimal yet expandable, maintaining research integrity and transparency.

📘 Glossary
Z-Score
Statistical measure of how far current price deviates from its mean, normalized by standard deviation.
Mean Reversion
The tendency of price to return to its average after temporary divergence.
ATR
Average True Range — measures volatility and defines adaptive stop distances.
Re-Cross
Secondary signal confirming reversal after an extreme.
HTF
Higher Timeframe — provides macro trend bias (e.g. 1-hour or daily).
Cooldown
Minimum bars to wait before re-entering after a trade closes.
❓ FAQ
Q1: Why are there no trades sometimes?
➡ Check that all filters are off. If still no trades, Z-scores might not breach the thresholds. Lower `zEntry` (1.2–1.4) to increase frequency.
Q2: Why does it sometimes fade breakouts?
➡ Mean reversion assumes overextension — disable it during strong trending days or use the HTF filter.
Q3: Can I use this for Forex or Crypto?
➡ Yes — but adjust session filters (`useSession=false`) and increase `maLen` for smoother means.
Q4: Why is profit factor so high but small overall gain?
➡ Because this script focuses on capital efficiency — low drawdown and steady scaling. Increase position size once stable.
Q5: Can I automate this on broker integration?
➡ Yes — the strategy uses standard `strategy.entry` and `strategy.exit` calls, compatible with TradingView webhooks.
🧭 How It Helps Traders
This strategy gives:
Discipline: no impulsive trades — strict statistical rules.
Consistency: removes emotional bias; same logic applies every bar.
Scalability: works across instruments and timeframes.
Transparency: all signals are derived from visible Z-Score math.
It’s ideal for quant-inclined discretionary traders who want rule-based entries but maintain human judgment for context (earnings days, macro news, etc.).
🧱 Final Notes
Best used on liquid stocks with continuous price movement.
Avoid illiquid or gap-heavy tickers.
Validate parameters per instrument — Z behavior differs between equities and indices.
Remember: Mean reversion works best in range-bound volatility, not during explosive breakouts.

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6: Script Summary
This Pine Script implements a highly flexible, multi-layered trading strategy centered around the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its associated Standard Deviation Bands.
The strategy is designed to test various entry/exit models based on how the price interacts with the central VWAP line and the upper/lower volatility bands, with extensive risk management and confirmation filters.
1. Core Mechanics (VWAP & Bands)
VWAP Calculation: Calculates the VWAP based on a user-defined source (default is the close price).
Standard Deviation Bands: Creates upper and lower bands by calculating the standard deviation of the price (over 20 periods by default) and multiplying it by a user-defined Multiplier (default is 2.0). These bands dynamically expand and contract with volatility.
Plotting: The script clearly plots the VWAP (purple), the Upper Band (green), and the Lower Band (red), with a colored fill between the bands.
2. Entry Triggers
The core entry logic is based on a single, user-selected cross event between the price and the VWAP/Bands. The user can choose from six predefined entry types:
Entry Type Category
Entry Trigger (Long)
Entry Trigger (Short)
Mean Reversion
Price crosses over the Lower Band.
Price crosses under the Upper Band.
Trend Following
Price crosses over the Upper Band (Breakout).
Price crosses under the Lower Band (Breakout).
VWAP Cross
Price crosses over the VWAP.
Price crosses under the VWAP.
3. Filters and Confirmation
Trades are only executed if they pass a series of optional filters, making the strategy highly customizable:
Technical Confirmation (Optional): Users can enable and configure up to three additional indicators that must align with the trade direction:
RSI: Price must be Oversold (for Long) or Overbought (for Short).
SMMA: Price must be above the SMMA (for Long) or below (for Short).
MACD: MACD line must cross the Signal line and the Histogram must be positive/negative.
Time and Day Filters: Trades are restricted to a defined Entry Start/End Hour/Minute window, and only execute on user-selected Trading Days of the week.
Trade Direction: Can be toggled to execute Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
4. Advanced Risk Management (Daily Limits)
The strategy incorporates robust daily limits that reset at a configured Daily Reset Hour/Minute:
Daily Profit/Loss Limits: If the running total of Realized PnL (closed trades) + Unrealized PnL (open position) exceeds a user-defined Daily Take Profit (in Ticks) or falls below the Daily Stop Loss (in Ticks), the strategy locks out new trades and immediately closes any open position.
Max Daily Trades: Prevents the strategy from entering more than a specified number of trades per day.
5. Exit Logic
The strategy exit is also highly configurable via the Exit Type setting:
Fixed Ticks / ATR / Capped ATR: If one of these is selected, the script calculates a static Stop Loss and Take Profit level upon entry, using either fixed tick values or dynamic values based on the Average True Range (ATR), which are then executed using Pine Script's strategy.exit function.
Cross Exits (VWAP/Bands): If selected, the position is closed when the price crosses the VWAP or a specific band in the opposite direction.
End-of-Day Close: An unconditional exit that closes all open positions at a user-defined Close All Hour/Minute, regardless of profit/loss or limit status, preventing positions from being held overnight.

You get: **CVD/Delta**, volume-weighted **Momentum**, **Aggression** spikes, **FVG (MTF)** with nearest side, **Daily Volume Profile (VAH/POC/VAL)**, **ATR regime**, a **24h position gauge**, classic **candle patterns**, IBH/IBL + **first-hour “true close”** lines, and a **10-vote confluence scoreboard**—all in one view.
---
## What’s inside (and how to trade it)
### 🌍 Institutional Sessions (Sydney • Tokyo • London • New York)
* Session boxes + a highlighted **first hour**.
* Plots the **true close** (first-hour close) as a running line with a label.
**Use:** Many desks anchor risk to this print. Above = bullish bias; below = bearish. **IBH/IBL** breaks during London/NY carry the most signal.
### 📊 CVD / Delta (Flow)
* Net buyer vs seller pressure with smooth trend state.
**Use:** **Rising CVD + acceptance above mid/POC** confirms continuation. Bearish price + rising CVD = caution (possible absorption).
### ⚡ Volume-Weighted Momentum
* Momentum adjusted by participation quality (volume).
**Use:** Momentum>MA and >0 → trend drive is “real”; <0 and falling → distribution risk.
### 🔥 Aggression Detector
* ROC × normalized volume × wick factor to flag **forceful** candles.
**Use:** On spikes, avoid fading blindly—wait for pullbacks into **aligned FVG** or for aggression to cool.
### 🟦🟪 Fair Value Gaps (with MTF)
* Detects up to 3 recent FVGs and marks the **nearest** side to price.
**Use:** Trend pullbacks into **bullish FVG** for longs; bounces into **bearish FVG** for shorts. Optional threshold to filter weak gaps.
### 🧭 24h Gauge (positioning)
* Shows current price across the 24h low⇢high with a mid reference.
**Use:** Above mid and pushing upper third = momentum continuation setups; below mid = sell the rips bias.
### 🧱 Daily Volume Profile (manual per day)
* **VAH / POC / VAL** derived from discretized rows.
**Use:** **POC below** supports longs; **POC above** caps rallies. Fade VAH/VAL in ranges; treat them as break/hold levels in trends.
### 📈 ATR Regime
* **ATR vs ATR-avg** with direction and regime flag (**HIGH / NORMAL / LOW**).
**Use:** HIGH ⇒ give trades room & favor trend following. LOW ⇒ fade edges, scale targets.
### 🕯️ Candle Patterns (contextual, not standalone)
* Engulfings, Morning/Evening Star, 3 Soldiers/Crows, Harami, Hammer/Shooting Star, Double Top/Bottom.
**Use:** Only with session + flow + momentum alignment.
### 🤝 Price–Volume Classification
* Labels each bar as **continuation**, **exhaustion**, **distribution**, or **healthy pullback**.
**Use:** Align continuation reads with trend; treat “Price↑ + Vol↓” as a caution flag.
### 🧪 Confluence Scoreboard & B/S Meter
* Ten elements vote: 🔵 bull, ⚪ neutral, 🟣 bear.
**Use:** Execution filter—take setups when the board’s skew matches your trade direction.
---
## Playbooks (actionable)
**Trend Pullback (Long)**
1. London/NY active, Momentum↑, CVD↑, price above 24h mid & POC.
2. Pullback into **nearest bullish FVG**.
3. Invalidate under FVG low or **true-close** line.
4. Targets: IBH → VAH → 24h high.
**Range Fade (Short)**
1. Asia/quiet regime, **Price↑ + Vol↓** into **VAH**, ATR low.
2. Nearest FVG bearish or scoreboard skew bearish.
3. Invalidate above VAH/IBH.
4. Targets: POC → VAL.
**News/Impulse**
Aggression spike? Don’t chase. Let it pull back into the aligned FVG; require CVD/Momentum agreement before entry.
---
## Alerts (included)
* **Bull/Bear Confluence ≥ 7/10**
* **Intraday Target Achieved** / **Daily Target Achieved**
* **Session True-Close Retests** (Sydney/Tokyo/London/NY)
*(Keep alerts “Once per bar” unless you specifically want intrabar triggers.)*
---
## Setup Tips
* **UTC**: Choose the reference that matches how you track sessions (default UTC+2).
* **Volume threshold**: 2.0× is a strong baseline; raise for noisy alts, lower for majors.
* **CVD smoothing**: 14–24 for scalps; 24–34 for slower markets.
* **ATR lengths**: Keep defaults unless your asset has a persistent regime shift.
---
## Why this framework?
Because **timing (sessions)**, **truth (flow)**, and **location (value/FVG)** together beat any single signal. You get *who is trading*, *how strong the push is*, and *where risk lives*—on one screen—so execution is faster and cleaner.

Spread Trading Z-ScoreIndicator: Z-Score Spread Indicator
Description
The "Z-Score Spread Indicator" is a powerful tool for traders employing mean-reversion strategies on the spread between two financial assets (e.g., futures contracts like MNQ and MES). This indicator calculates and plots the Z-score of the price spread, indicating how far the current spread deviates from its historical mean. It features customizable entry and exit thresholds with adjustable offsets, along with an estimated p-value displayed in a table to assess statistical significance.
Key Features
Asset Selection: Allows users to select two asset symbols (e.g., CME_MINI:MNQ1! and CME_MINI:MES1!) via customizable inputs.
Z-Score Calculation: Computes the Z-score based on the spread’s simple moving average and standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period.
Customizable Thresholds with Offset: Offers adjustable base entry and exit thresholds, with an optional offset to fine-tune trading levels, plotted as horizontal lines.
P-Value Estimation: Provides an approximate p-value to evaluate the statistical significance of the Z-score, displayed in a table anchored to the top-left corner.
Visual Representation: Plots the Z-score with a zero line and threshold lines for intuitive interpretation.
Adjustable Parameters
Asset A Symbol: Symbol for Asset A (default: CME_MINI:MNQ1!).
Asset B Symbol: Symbol for Asset B (default: CME_MINI:MES1!).
Z-Score Lookback: Lookback period for Z-score calculation (default: 40, minimum 2).
Base Entry Threshold: Threshold for entry signals (default: 1.8, adjustable with a step of 0.1).
Base Exit Threshold: Threshold for exit signals (default: 0.5, adjustable with a step of 0.1).
Threshold Offset (+/-): Offset to adjust entry and exit thresholds symmetrically (default: 0.0, range -5.0 to 5.0, step 0.1).
Usage
Add the indicator to your chart via the "Indicators" tab.
Customize the parameters based on your preferred assets and trading strategy (lookback period, thresholds, offset).
Observe the Z-score plot and threshold lines (red for short entry, green for long entry, orange dotted for exits) to identify potential trade setups.
Check the p-value table in the top-left corner to assess the statistical significance of the current Z-score.
Use this data to inform mean-reversion trading decisions, ideally in conjunction with other indicators.
Notes
A Z-score above the entry threshold (positive) or below the negative entry threshold suggests a potential short or long entry, respectively. Exits are signaled when the Z-score crosses the exit thresholds.
The p-value is an approximation based on the normal distribution; a value below 0.05 typically indicates statistical significance, but further validation is recommended.
The indicator uses a simple spread (Asset A - Asset B) without volatility adjustments; consider pairing it with a lots calculator for hedging.
Limitations
The p-value is an approximation and may not reflect advanced statistical tests (e.g., ADF) due to Pine Script constraints.
No automatic trading signals are generated; it provides data for manual analysis.

NY 4H Wyckoff State Machine [CHE] NY 4H Wyckoff State Machine — Full (Re-Entry, Breakout, Wick, Re-Accum/Distrib, Dynamic Table) — One-Candle Wyckoff Re-Entry (OCWR)
Summary
OCWR operationalizes a one-candle session workflow: mark the first four-hour New York candle, fix its high and low as the session range when the window closes, and drive entries through a Wyckoff-style state machine on intraday bars. The script adds an ATR-scaled buffer around the range and requires multi-bar acceptance before treating breaks or re-entries as valid. Optional wick-cluster evidence, a proximity retest, and simple volume or RSI gates increase selectivity. Background tints expose regimes, shapes mark events, a dynamic table explains the current state, and hidden plots supply alert payloads. The design reduces random flips and makes state transitions auditable without higher-timeframe calls.
Origin and name
Method name: One-Candle Wyckoff Re-Entry (OCWR)
Transcript origin: The source idea is a “stupid simple one-candle scalping” routine: mark the first New York four-hour candle (commonly between one and five in the morning New York time), drop to five minutes, observe accumulation inside, wait for a manipulation move outside, then trade the re-entry back inside. Stops go beyond the excursion extreme; targets are either a fixed reward multiple or the opposite side of the range. Preference is given to several manipulation candles. This indicator codifies that workflow with explicit states, acceptance counters, buffers, and optional quality filters. Any external performance claims are not part of the code.
Motivation: Why this design?
Session levels are widely respected, yet single-bar breaches around them are noisy. OCWR separates range discovery from trade logic. It locks the range at the end of the window, applies an ATR-scaled buffer to ignore marginal oversteps, and requires acceptance over several bars for breaks and re-entries. Wick evidence and optional retest proximity help confirm that an excursion likely cleared liquidity rather than launched a trend. This yields cleaner transitions from test to commitment.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Static session lines or one-shot Wyckoff tags without process control.
Architecture: Dual long and short state machines; ATR-buffered edges; multi-bar acceptance for breaks and re-entries; optional wick dominance and cluster checks; optional retest tolerance; direct and opposite breakout paths; cooldown after fires; distribution timeout; dynamic table with highlighted row.
Practical effect: Fewer single-bar head-fakes, clearer hand-offs, and on-chart explanations of the machine’s view.
Wyckoff structure by example — OCWR on five minutes
One-candle setup:
On the four-hour chart, mark the first New York candle’s high and low, then switch to five minutes. Solid lines show the fixed range; dashed lines show ATR-buffered edges.
Long path (verbal mapping):
Phase A, Stopping Action: Price stabilizes inside the range.
Phase B, Consolidation: Sustained balance while the window is closed and after the range is fixed.
Phase C, Test (Spring): Excursion below the buffered low with preference for several outside bars and dominant lower wicks, then a return inside.
Re-entry acceptance: A required run of inside bars validates the test.
Phase D, Breakout to Markup: Long signal fires; stop beyond the excursion extreme; objective is the opposite range or a fixed reward multiple.
Phase E, Trend (Markup) and Re-Accumulation: Advance continues until target, stop, confirmation back against the box, or timeout. A pause inside trend may register as re-accumulation.
Short path mirrors the above: A UTAD-style move forms above the buffered high, then re-entry leads to Markdown and possible re-distribution.
Variant map (verbal):
Accumulation after a downtrend: with Spring and Test, or without Spring; both proceed to Markup and may pause in Re-Accumulation.
Distribution after an uptrend: with UTAD and Test, or without UTAD; both proceed to Markdown and may pause in Re-Distribution.
Note: Phases A through E occur within each variant and are not separate variants.
How it works (technical)
Session window: A configurable four-hour New York window records its high and low. At window end, the bounds are fixed for the session.
ATR buffer: A margin above and below the fixed range discourages triggers from tiny oversteps.
Inside and outside: Users choose close-based or wick-based detection. Overshoot requirements are expressed verbally as a fraction of the range with an optional absolute minimum.
Manipulation tracking: The machine counts bars spent outside and records the side extreme.
Re-entry acceptance: After a return inside, a specified number of inside bars must print before acceptance.
Direct and opposite breakouts: Direct breakouts from accumulation and opposite breakouts after manipulation are supported, subject to acceptance and optional filters.
Targets and exits: Choose the opposite boundary or a fixed reward multiple. Distribution ends on target, stop, confirmation back against the range, or timeout.
Context filters (optional): Volume above a scaled SMA, RSI thresholds, and a trend SMA for simple regime context.
Diagnostics: Background tints for regimes; arrows for re-entries; triangles for breakouts; table with row highlights; hidden plots for alert values.
Central table (Wyckoff console)
The table sits top-right and explains the machine’s stance. Columns: Structure label, plain-English description, active state pair for long and short, and human phase tags. Rows: Start and range building; accumulation branch with Spring and Test as well as direct breakout; Markup and re-accumulation; distribution branch with UTAD and Test as well as direct short breakout; Markdown and re-distribution. Only the active state cell is rewritten each last bar, for example “L_ACCUM slash S_ACCUM”. Row highlighting is context-aware: accumulation, Spring or UTAD, breakout, Markup or Markdown, and re-accumulation or re-distribution checks can highlight independently so users see simultaneous conditions. The table is created once, updated only on the last bar for efficiency, and functions as a read-only console to audit why a signal fired and where the path currently sits.
Parameter Guide
Session window and time zone: First four hours of New York by default; time zone “America/New_York”.
ATR length and buffer factor: Control buffer size; larger reduces sensitivity, smaller reacts faster.
Minimum overshoot (fraction and absolute): Demand meaningful extension beyond the buffer.
Break mode: Close-based is stricter; wick-based is more reactive.
Acceptance counts: Separate counts for break, re-entry, and opposite breakout; higher values reduce noise.
Minimum bars outside: Ensures manipulation is not a single spike.
Wick detection and clusters (optional): Dominance thresholds and cluster size within a short window.
Retest required and tolerance (optional): Gate re-entry by proximity to the buffered edge.
Volume and RSI filters (optional): Simple gates on activity and momentum.
TP mode and reward multiple: Opposite range or fixed multiple.
Cooldown and distribution timeout: Rate-limit signals and prevent endless distribution.
Visualization toggles: Background phases, labels, table, and helper lines.
Reading & Interpretation
Solid lines are the fixed session bounds; dashed lines are buffers. Backgrounds tint accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. Arrows show accepted re-entries; triangles show direct or opposite breakouts. Labels can summarize entry, stop, target, and risk. The table highlights the active row and the current state pair.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
OCWR baseline: Each morning, mark the New York four-hour candle, move to five minutes, prefer multi-bar manipulation outside, then wait for a qualified re-entry inside. Stop beyond the excursion extreme. Target the opposite range for conservative management or a fixed multiple for uniform sizing.
Trend following: Favor direct breakouts with trend alignment and no contradictory wick evidence.
Quality control: When noise rises, increase acceptance, raise the buffer factor, enable retest, and require wick clusters.
Discretionary confluences: Fair-value gaps and trend lines can be added by the user; they are not computed by this script.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar confirmation is recommended when you require finality; live-bar conditions can change until close. The script does not call higher-timeframe data. It uses arrays, lines, labels, boxes, and a table; maximum bars back is five thousand; table updates are last-bar only. Known limits include compressed buffers in quiet sessions, unreliable wick evidence in thin markets, and session misalignment if the platform time zone is not New York.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with ATR length fourteen, buffer factor near zero point fifteen, overshoot fraction near zero point ten, acceptance counts of two, minimum outside duration three, retest required on.
Too many flips: increase acceptance, raise buffer, enable retest, and tighten wick thresholds.
Too slow: reduce acceptance, lower buffer, switch to wick-based breaks, disable retest.
Noisy wicks: increase minimum wick ratio and cluster size, or disable wick detection.

Scalper Pro Pattern Recognition & Price ActionOVERVIEW
Scalper Pro is a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading indicator that combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with traditional technical analysis to provide scalpers and day traders with high-probability entry and exit signals. This indicator integrates multiple analytical frameworks into a unified visual system designed specifically for short-term trading strategies.
ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
What Makes This Script Original
This script is not a simple mashup of existing indicators. Instead, it represents a carefully orchestrated integration of complementary analytical methods that work together to solve a specific problem: identifying high-probability scalping opportunities in volatile markets.
The unique value proposition:
Adaptive Trend Filtering System - Combines a customized SuperTrend algorithm with dual-period range filters (Cirrus Cloud) and Hull Moving Average trend cloud to create a three-layer trend confirmation system
Smart Money Concepts Integration - Incorporates institutional trading concepts (Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Break of Structure) with retail technical indicators for a complete market structure view
Dynamic Risk Management - Automatically calculates stop-loss and take-profit levels based on ATR volatility, providing objective position sizing
ADX-Based Market Regime Detection - Identifies ranging vs. trending markets through ADX analysis with visual bar coloring to prevent whipsaws during consolidation
Why Combine These Specific Components
Each component addresses a specific weakness in scalping:
SuperTrend provides the primary directional bias but can generate false signals in ranging markets
Range Filters smooth out noise and confirm trend direction, reducing SuperTrend false positives
ADX Analysis prevents trading during low-volatility consolidation when most indicators fail
SMC Elements identify institutional activity zones where price is likely to react strongly
ATR-Based Risk Management adapts position sizing to current volatility conditions
The synergy creates a system where signals are only generated when multiple confirmation layers align, significantly reducing false signals common in single-indicator approaches.
HOW IT WORKS
Core Calculation Methodology
1. SuperTrend Signal Generation
The script uses a modified SuperTrend algorithm with the following calculation:
ATR = Average True Range (default: 10 periods)
Factor = 7 (default sensitivity multiplier)
Upper Band = Source + (Factor × ATR)
Lower Band = Source - (Factor × ATR)
Directional Logic:
When price crosses above SuperTrend → Bullish signal
When price crosses below SuperTrend → Bearish signal
SuperTrend value is plotted as dynamic support/resistance
Key Modification: The sensitivity parameter (nsensitivity * 7) allows users to adjust the aggressiveness of trend detection without changing the core ATR calculation.
2. Range Filter System (Cirrus Cloud)
The Range Filter uses a smoothed range calculation to filter out market noise:
Smooth Range Calculation:
WPER = (Period × 2) - 1
AVRNG = EMA(|Price - Price |, Period)
Smooth Range = EMA(AVRNG, WPER) × Multiplier
Two-Layer System:
Layer 1: 22-period with 6x multiplier (broader trend)
Layer 2: 15-period with 5x multiplier (tighter price action)
Visual Output: The space between these two filters is colored:
Green fill = Bullish trend (Layer 1 > Layer 2)
Red fill = Bearish trend (Layer 1 < Layer 2)
This creates a "cloud" that expands during strong trends and contracts during consolidation.
3. ADX Market Regime Detection
Calculation:
+DM = Positive Directional Movement
-DM = Negative Directional Movement
True Range = RMA of True Range (15 periods)
+DI = 100 × RMA(+DM, 15) / True Range
-DI = 100 × RMA(-DM, 15) / True Range
ADX = 100 × RMA(|+DI - -DI| / (+DI + -DI), 15)
Threshold System:
ADX < Threshold (default 15) = Ranging market → Bar color changes to purple
ADX > Threshold = Trending market → Normal bar coloring applies
Purpose: This prevents taking trend-following signals during sideways markets where most indicators produce whipsaws.
4. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Integration
Order Blocks (OB):
Identified using swing high/low detection with customizable pivot length
Bullish OB: Last down-close candle before bullish Break of Structure (BOS)
Bearish OB: Last up-close candle before bearish BOS
Extended forward until price breaks through them
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Detected when a three-candle gap exists:
Bullish FVG: Low > High
Bearish FVG: High < Low
Filtered by price delta percentage to ensure significant gaps
Displayed as boxes that delete when price fills the gap
Break of Structure (BOS) vs. Change of Character (CHoCH):
BOS = Price breaks the previous structural high/low in the current trend direction
CHoCH = Price breaks structure in the opposite direction (potential trend reversal)
Both internal (minor) and swing (major) structures are tracked
Equal Highs/Lows (EQH/EQL):
Detected when consecutive swing highs/lows are within ATR threshold
Often indicates liquidity pools that price may sweep before reversing
5. ATR-Based Risk Management
Calculation:
ATR Band = ATR(14) × Risk Multiplier (default 3%)
Stop Loss = Entry - ATR Band (for longs) or Entry + ATR Band (for shorts)
Take Profit Levels:
TP1 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 1
TP2 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 2
TP3 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 3
Dynamic Labels: Stop loss and take profit levels are automatically calculated and displayed as labels on the chart when new signals trigger.
6. Hull Moving Average Trend Cloud
HMA = WMA(2 × WMA(Close, Period/2) - WMA(Close, Period), sqrt(Period))
Period = 600 bars (long-term trend)
The HMA provides a smoothed long-term trend reference that's more responsive than traditional moving averages while filtering out short-term noise.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
Trend-Following Concepts
This indicator is based on the principle that markets trend more often than they range, and that trends tend to persist. The SuperTrend component captures this momentum while the range filters prevent premature entries during pullbacks.
Smart Money Theory
The SMC elements are based on the concept that institutional traders (banks, hedge funds) leave footprints in the form of:
Order Blocks: Areas where large orders were placed
Fair Value Gaps: Inefficient price movements that may be revisited
Liquidity Sweeps: Stop hunts before continuation (EQH/EQL)
Volatility-Based Position Sizing
Using ATR for stop-loss placement ensures that stop distances adapt to current market conditions:
Tight stops in low volatility (avoids excessive risk)
Wider stops in high volatility (avoids premature stop-outs)
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
Realistic Expectations
Win Rate:
Expected: 45-55% (trend-following systems rarely exceed 60%)
Higher win rates on trending days
Lower win rates during consolidation (even with ADX filter)
Risk-Reward Ratio:
Target: 1.5:1 minimum (TP2)
Achievable: 2:1 to 3:1 on strong trends
Drawdowns:
Normal: 10-15% of account during choppy periods
Maximum: Should not exceed 20% with proper risk management
Optimization Tips
Backtesting Recommendations:
Test on at least 1 year of historical data
Include different market conditions (trending, ranging, volatile)
Adjust SuperTrend sensitivity per instrument
Optimize ADX threshold for your specific market
Record trades to identify personal execution errors
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator provides signals, but you'll need to code a strategy script separately for automation. The signals can trigger alerts that connect to trading bots.
Q: Why do I see conflicting signals?
A: This is normal during transition periods. Wait for all confirmation layers to align before entering.
Q: How often should I expect signals?
A: Depends on timeframe and market conditions. On 5m charts during trending markets: 3-7 quality setups per session.
Q: Can I use only some features?
A: Yes, all components can be toggled on/off. However, the system works best with all confirmations active.
Q: What's the difference between internal and swing structures?
A: Internal = minor price structures (smaller pivots). Swing = major price structures (larger pivots). Both provide different levels of confirmation.

MechArt ATR Box 12 V1.1MechArt ATR Box 12 V1.1 — Auto ATR Edition
Overview:
The MechArt ATR Box 12 is a precision visualization tool for tracking ATR-based trade levels across multiple tickers. It automatically plots your +1 ATR roll zone, -2 ATR stop, and -3 ATR emergency exit, providing a clear visual map of your trade’s range and time horizon.
Key Features:
Auto ATR on Entry Date: For each configured ticker, the indicator automatically pulls the historical ATR(14) value that matches your entry date — no manual ATR entry needed. This refreshes each time the ticker is revisited.
Smart Defaults for Other Tickers:
If a ticker isn’t listed in the code, the indicator defaults to your current price as the entry, calculates ATR live, and sets expiration 21 days out, aligned to the next Friday.
Multi-Ticker Setup (12 Slots):
You can predefine up to 12 tickers inside the code, each with its own entry price, entry date and expiration date. Once saved, the indicator recognizes and loads them automatically when you open that chart.
Customizable Appearance:
Adjustable opacity and colors for each ATR box
Line width, style, and transparency controls
DTE/ATR label with adjustable font size
Dynamic Labels:
Displays the remaining days to expiration (DTE) and the ATR value used for calculations.
Use Case:
Designed for swing traders and options traders managing multiple active tickers. Each ATR box visually represents your trade window — from entry through expiration — with clear risk and roll boundaries.
How It Works:
Simply open the code once and enter your 12 tickers, each with its entry date and price. The script handles ATR lookups and expiration alignment automatically. Any ticker not included will generate its own default 21-day box.

📊 HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SIGNAL METHODOLOGY:
BUY SIGNAL generates when ALL conditions are met:
• Smoothed price > Moving Average (upward price trend)
• PVT > PVT Average (volume supporting uptrend)
• ROC > 0 (positive momentum)
• Close > VWMA (above volume-weighted average)
SELL SIGNAL generates when ALL conditions are met:
• Smoothed price < Moving Average (downward price trend)
• PVT < PVT Average (volume supporting downtrend)
• ROC < 0 (negative momentum)
• Close < VWMA (below volume-weighted average)
This multi-factor approach filters out weak signals and waits for
strong convergence before generating alerts.
RISK CALCULATION:
Stop Loss = Entry ± (ATR × SL Multiplier)
• Uses Average True Range for volatility measurement
• Automatically adjusts to market conditions
Take Profit Levels = Entry ± (Risk Distance × TP Multiplier × Level)
• Risk Distance = |Entry - Stop Loss|
• Creates risk-reward based targets
• Example: TP Multiplier 1.0 = 1:1, 2:2, 3:3 risk-reward
⚠️ NOTE: All risk levels are VISUAL REFERENCES for educational study.
They do not execute trades automatically.

💡 USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
RECOMMENDED APPROACH:
• Works on all timeframes (1m to Monthly)
• Suitable for all markets (Stocks, Forex, Crypto, etc.)
• Best used with additional analysis and confirmation
• Always practice proper risk management
ENTRY STRATEGY:
1. Wait for BUY or SELL signal to appear
2. Check trend table for trend confirmation
3. Verify VWMA band color matches signal direction
4. Look for nearby support/resistance confluence
5. Consider entering on next candle open
6. Use visual SL level for risk management
EXIT STRATEGY:
1. Use TP levels as potential exit zones
2. Consider scaling out at multiple TP levels
3. Exit on opposite signal
4. Adjust stops as trade progresses
5. Account for spread and slippage
TREND TRADING:
• "Up Trend" → Focus on BUY signals
• "Down Trend" → Focus on SELL signals
• "Ranging" → Wait for clear trend or use range strategies
