DepthHouse Trading System Basics
The Cloud:
The cloud is used in a very similar manner as the ichimoku cloud. A complete cross above or below the represents a macro trend change. The cloud then could be used as dynamic support and resistance zones.
By default there is no smoothing to the full cloud. If you wish to add smoothing, you can change the ‘Trend Base On’ option to ‘Modded Cloud Average’ to add price action and smoothing into the cloud’s calculations. The Modded Cloud can then be used in the same manner as the Full Cloud. Generally, the Full Cloud is more forgiving and has less Macro Trend changes. By default, this option is turned off. The support or resistance zone created will be shown on the info panel on the right.
Horizontal Levels:
A Horizonal zone is generated each time there is a micro level trend change. For example, as soon as a positive micro trend change occurs a green horizontal level will be plotted.
These levels then can be used as temporary support and resistance zones. The Horizontal Break Trading Strategy is entirely based on these levels. These levels are also shown on the info panel on the right.
The Envelope Itself: (by default this is off)
By selecting the Overbought and Oversold Ranges option, a cloud envelope will appear around the price action. This envelope represents the overbought and oversold ranges. If the price action should go into these zones, the info panel on the right will show ‘CAUTION’ beside the God Values as this signals that the pair is either overbought or oversold.
The God Values:
The God values are listed on the info panel on the right. These are the values created by the Godmode indicator. Generally, below 20 or above 80 it signals for caution as the price action has overextended itself.
The Back-Test Strategy Options:
⇅ - Child Fomo Positioning:
Child Fomo Positioning strategy is entirely based on the macro trend change with the center cloud. As soon as there is a complete candle close above or below the cloud and a trend change takes place. The back-test places a market order as soon as the next candle opens. By default, it then will not close this position until the price action fully crosses the cloud once again.
⇅ - Horizontal Break Trading:
Horizontal Break Trading Strategy is entirely based on the horizontal levels generated and the macro trend direction. For example, say the Macro Trend is up, and a green, positive horizontal level is formed. As soon as a complete candle closes above the upper level of the positive zone, a limit order is placed in hope that the price action comes back down and retests, filling the order. This long will not close then until a negative level is formed. As soon as a negative level is formed a stop/loss order is placed on the lower level of the horizontal support zone. It will then do the opposite in a bearish trend, and margin trading is turned on.
⇅ - Parent Positions :
Parent Positioning Strategy is based on the overall trend and the center cloud levels. This strategy has limit orders waiting on the level of the cloud that is closest to the price action. Therefore, using this strategy alone, the back-test system waits for the trend to be confirmed, and then follows the price action with limit orders waiting on the cloud to be retested. By default this order does not close until a Marco trend change occurs.
⇅ - Take 50% Partial Profits:
This options allows the back-test to take 50% profit or loss when one of the two options occur.
Horizontal Break: This would close 50% of the position in the same manner it would close a trade using the horizontal break trading system.
God Values: Once the price action enters the oversold or overbought clouds, it would then place a close order as soon as the price action exits the cloud.
⟲ - Backtest Year Start Date :
Start year of the back-testing. If set to ex. 2017, the back-test will not calculate any trades that took place before Jan. 1 of 2017.
⚖ - Margin Trading :
By default, margin trading is turned off. Simply switch this option to on the enable ‘Short Trading’ into the strategy back-test.
Notes: If you are back testing multiple strategies at the same time, you must increase the pyramiding to correspond to the number or strategies.
My Favorite Settings:
Margin = Off
Pyramiding = 2 [Settings → Properties → Pyramiding → 2 orders
Child Fomo Positioning = On
Horizontal Break Trading = On
Everything else off 😊

DR/IDR Break .5 TPDR/IDR Extension Breakout with Custom Stop
This strategy is a systematic, counter-trend, and momentum-based system designed for intraday trading. It operates on the principle of an Opening Range Breakout (ORB), utilizing the initial market consolidation to project high-probability targets, while offering multiple methods for managing risk.
1. Market Identification (The Opening Range)
The strategy begins by defining the market's initial boundaries and volatility:
Session Window: The strategy calculates the Opening Range (OR) over a user-defined time period (default: 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM New York Time).
ORB Levels: Two key price levels are established and locked once the time window closes:
Wick High/Low: The absolute highest and lowest prices of the session. These serve as the entry trigger lines.
Body High/Low (Shaded Range): The highest and lowest open/close prices of the session. The height of this range is used to calculate the Take Profit and Stop Loss levels.
2. Entry Rule (The Breakout)
The strategy is passive until the range is violated, looking for a strong move out of the consolidation area.
Trigger Condition: A trade is signaled when a candle closes either:
Above the Wick High (for a Long entry).
Below the Wick Low (for a Short entry).
Execution: The entry is a Market Order executed on the candle that meets the trigger condition, subject to a user-defined Entry Delay (default 0 bars, meaning the entry is taken immediately upon the breakout candle's close).
Direction Control: The user can select to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
3. Exit and Risk Management
All trades are placed with simultaneous Take Profit and Stop Loss orders (a bracket order) once the entry is filled.
A. Take Profit (TP)
The Take Profit is set at the 0.5 Extension of the Shaded Range (Body Range).
Calculation: The distance from the Body High/Low to the TP level is exactly 50% of the total height of the Shaded Range.
B. Stop Loss (SL)
The Stop Loss is dynamically calculated based on a user-selected method for risk control:
Range 0.5 (Body Range): The Stop Loss is placed an equal distance (0.5 times the Body Range height) outside the opposite side of the Body Range.
Example (Long): If entry is above the Wick High, the SL is set 0.5 times the Body Range height below the Body Low.
ATR Multiple: The Stop Loss distance is determined by the asset's recent volatility.
Calculation: The distance is calculated as a user-defined Multiplier (default 2.0) times the Average True Range (ATR).
Recent Swing Low/High: The Stop Loss is placed based on a structural level defined by recent price action.
Long Entry: SL is placed at the Lowest Swing Low within a user-defined lookback period.
Short Entry: SL is placed at the Highest Swing High within a user-defined lookback period.
Summary of Workflow
The market sets the Wick and Body boundaries (e.g., 9:30–10:30 AM).
Price breaks and closes beyond a Wick boundary, triggering a signal.
The trade enters after the specified delay.
A bracket order is placed: TP is fixed at the 0.5 Extension, and SL is set based on the user's chosen risk method.
The trade is closed upon reaching either the TP or the SL level.
Strategy Builder Pro [ChartPrime]ChartPrime Strategy Creator Overview
The ChartPrime Strategy Builder offers traders an innovative, structured approach to building and testing strategies. The Strategy Creator allows users to combine, test, and automate complex strategies with many parameters.
Key Features of the ChartPrime Strategy Builder
1. Customizable Buy and Sell Conditions
The Strategy Creator provides flexibility in establishing entry and exit rules, with separate sections for long and short strategies. Traders can combine multiple conditions in each section to fine-tune when positions are opened or closed. For instance, they might choose to only buy when the indicator signals a buy and the Dynamic Reactor (a low lag filter) indicator shows a bullish trend. Users are able to pick, mix and match the following list of features:
Signal Mode: Select the type of assistive signals you are requiring. Provided are both trend following signals with self optimization using backtest results as well as reversal signals, aiming to provide real time tops and bottoms in markets. Both these signal modes can be fine tuned using the tuning input to refine signals to a trader's liking. ChartPrime Trend Signals leverage audio engineering inspired techniques and low-pass filters in order to achieve and attempt to produce lower lag response times and therefore are designed to have a uniqueness when compared to more classical trend following approaches.
The Dynamic Reactor: provides a simple band passing through the chart. This can provide assistance in support and resistance locations as well as identifying the trend direction expressed via green and red colors. Taking a moving average and applying unique adaptivity calculations gives this plot a unique and fast behavior.
Candlestick structures: analyze candlestick formation putting a spin on classical candlestick patterns and provide the most relevant formations on the chart. These are not classical and are filtered by further analyzing market activity. A trader's classic with a spin.
The Prime Trend Assistant: provides a trend following dynamic support and resistance level. This makes it perfect to use in confluence or as a filter for other supporting indicators. This is an adaptive trend following system designed to handle volatility leveraging filter kernels as opposed to low pass filters.
Money Flow: with further filters applied for early response to money flow changes in the market. This can be a great filter in trends.
Oscillator reversals: are built in leveraging an oscillator focusing on market momentum allowing users to enter based on market shifts and trends along with reversals.
Volume-Inspired Signals: determine overbought and oversold conditions, adding another layer of analysis to the oscillator. These appear as orange labels, providing a simple reading into a possible reversal.
The Volume Matrix: is a volume oscillator that shows whether money is flowing into or out of the market. Green suggests an uptrend with buyers in control, while red indicates a majority of sellers. By incorporating smoothed volume analysis, it distinguishes between bullish and bearish volumes, offering an early indication of potential trend reversals.
The True 7: is a middle-ranking system that evaluates the strength of a move and the overall trend, offering a numeric or visual representation of trend strength. It can also indicate when a trend is starting to reverse, providing leading signals for potential market shifts. Rather than using an oscillator, this offers the unique edge of falling into set categories, making understanding it simple. This can be a great confluence point when designing a strategy.
Take profits: These offer real-time suggestions from our algorithm on when it might be a good time to take profit. Using these as part of a strategy allows for great entries at bottoms and tops of trends.
Using features such as the Dynamic reactor have dual purposes. Traders can use this as both a filter and an entry condition. This allows for true interoperability when using the Strategy Builder. The above conditions are duplicated for short entries too allowing for symmetrical trading systems. By disabling all of the entry conditions on either long or short areas of the settings will create a strategy that only takes a single type of position. For example; a trader that just wants to take longs can disable all short options.
2. Layered Entries
Layered entries, a feature to enhance the uniqueness in the tool. It allows traders to average into positions as the market moves, rather than committing all capital at once. This feature is particularly useful for volatile markets where prices may fluctuate substantially. The Strategy Builder lets users adjust the number of layered entries, which can help in managing risk and optimizing entry points as well as the aggressiveness of the safety orders. With each safety order placed the system will automatically and dynamically scale into positions reducing the average entry price and hence dynamically adjust the potential take profits. Due to the potential complexities of exiting during multiple orders, a smart system is employed to automatically take profits on the layered system aiming to take profits at peaks of trends.
Users are able to override this smart TP system at the bottom of the settings instead targeting percentage profits for both short and long positions.
Entries lowering average buy price
The ability to adjust how quickly the system layers into positions can also be adjusted via the layered entries drop down between fast and slow mode where the slow mode will be more cautious when producing new orders.
3. Flexible Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) Options
Traders can set their TP and SL levels according to various parameters, including ATR (Average True Range), risk-reward ratio, trailing stops, or specific price changes. If layered entries are active, an automatic TP method is applied by default, though traders can manually specify TP values if they prefer. This setup allows for precise control over trade exits, tailored to the strategy’s risk profile.
Provided options
The ability to use external take profits and stop losses is also provided. By loading an indicator of your choice the plots will be added to the chart. By navigating to the external sources area of the settings, users can select this plot and use it as part of a wider trading system.
Example: Let’s say a user has entries based on the inbuilt trend signals and wishes to exit whenever the RSI crosses above 70, they can add RSI to the chart, select crossing up and enter the value of 70.
4. Integrated Reinvestment for Compounding Gains
The reinvestment option allows traders to reinvest a portion of their gains into future trades, increasing trade size over time and benefiting from compounding. For example, a user might set 30% of each trade's profit to reinvest, with the remaining 70% allocated for risk management or additional safety orders. This approach can enhance long-term growth while balancing risk.
Generally in trading it can be a good approach to take profits so we suggest a healthy balance. This setting is generally best used for slow steady strategies with the long term aim of accumulating as much of the asset as possible.
5. Leverage and Position Sizing
Users can configure leverage and position sizing to simulate varying risk levels and capital allocations. A dashboard on the interface displays margin requirements based on the selected leverage, allowing traders to estimate trade sizes relative to their available capital. Whenever using leverage especially with layered entries it’s important to keep a close eye on the position sizes to avoid potential liquidations.
6. Pre-Configured Strategies for Immediate Testing
For users seeking a starting point, ChartPrime includes a range of preset strategies. These were developed and backtested by ChartPrime’s team. This allows traders to start with a stable base and adapt it to their own preferences. It is vital to understand that historical performance doesn't guarantee future success, and traders should be mindful of overfitting. These pre-built configurations offer a structured way and base to design strategies off of. These are also subject to changing results as new price action arrives and they become outdated. They serve the purpose of simply being example use cases.
7. In-Depth Specific Backtesting Ranges
The Strategy Builder includes backtesting capabilities, providing a clear view of how different setups would have performed over specified time periods. Traders can select date ranges to target specific market conditions, then review results on TradingView to see how their strategies perform across different market trends.
Example Use Case: Developing a Strategy
Consider a trader who is focused on long positions only and prefers a lower-risk strategy (note these tools can be used for all assets; we are using an undisclosed asset as an example). Using the Strategy Builder, they could:
- Disable short conditions.
- Set long entry rules to trigger when both the ChartPrime oscillator and Quantum Reactor indicators show bullish signals.
- Enable layered entries to improve average entry prices by adding to positions during market dips.
- Run a backtest over a two-year period to see historical performance trends, making adjustments as needed.
The backtest will show where entries and exits would have occurred and how layered entries may have impacted profitability.
8. Iterative design
Strategy builders and creating a strategy is often an iterative process. By experimenting and using logic; a trader can arrive at a more sustainable system. Analyzing the shortcomings of your strategy and iteratively designing and filtering them out is the goal. For example; let’s say a strategy has high drawdown, a user would want to tighten stop losses for example to reduce this and find a balance point between optimizing winning trades and reducing the drawdown. When designing a strategy there are generally tradeoffs and optimizing taking into consideration a wide range of factors is key. This also applies to filtering techniques, entries and exits and every variable in the strategy.
Let’s say a strategy was taking too many long positions in a downtrend and after you’ve analyzed the data, you come to the conclusion this needs to be solved. Filtering these using built in trend following tools can be a great approach and refining with logic is a great approach.
The Strategy Builder also takes into consideration those who seek to automate especially via reinvesting and leverage features.
Considerations
The ChartPrime Strategy Builder aims to help traders build clear, rule-based strategies without excessive complexity. As with all backtesting tools, it's crucial to understand that historical performance doesn't guarantee future success, and traders should be mindful of overfitting. This tool offers a structured way to test strategies against various market conditions, helping traders refine their approaches with data-driven insights. Traders should also ensure they enter the correct fees when designing strategies and ensure usage on standard candle types.

Positive or negative values are assigned to each of the signals depending on if the statement is true or false (e.g. DPO > 0: +1, DPO < 0: -1). This manner of strategy allows for a subset of the available signals to be present at one time as opposed to every technical signal having to be active in order for a long/short signal to trigger.
This strategy contains SIX different macro score strategies -- "Base DFMA", "Base DFMG", "Ichimoku", "TSI", "Donchian DFMA", and "Donchian DFMG". These strategies have the signals and weights pre-determined in the code. The "Base DFMA" strategy is based on our Democratic Fibonacci Moving Average (DFMA) indicator; the "Donchian DFMA" is the same as the base DFMA strategy, but with a signal from our Donchian Cloud Score indicator as added confluence. The "Base DFMG" strategy is based on our Democratic Fibonacci McGinley Dynamics (DFMG) indicator; the "Donchian DFMG" is the same, but with the Donchian Cloud Score as added confluence. The "Ichimoku" strategy is based on the major sub-indicators found within an Ichimoku Cloud in addition to our Donchian Cloud Score. The "TSI" strategy is based on the True Strength Index.
The ability to select your strategy of choice can be found at the top of the strategy settings under "Strategy Options", then in the drop-down menu labeled "Strategy Choice".
The DFMA - Democratic Fibonacci Moving Average - is a separate indicator that we have released that takes 10 different Fibonacci MAs (lengths of 3 to 233, at Fibonacci intervals) and averages them to form the DFMA line. This helps by creating a consensus on the trend based on moving averages alone. Crossovers of the DFMA with the various Fib MA lengths as well as a cross of the price source and these lines can provide adequate long and short signals. In the two DFMA strategies, the heaviest weights have been given to crosses of the DFMA line/Fib MA (233) as well as the crosses of the Fib MA (3)/DFMA. Additionally, there are thresholds for DPO ( Detrended Price Oscillator , above or below 0), CMO ( Chande Momentum Oscillator , above or below 0), Jurik Volatility Bands (above or below 0), and Stoch RSI (above or below 50). These four signals hold a lighter weight than the MA cross signals. The macro score itself ranges between -10 and 10. In addition to the macro score line, a momentum line (sourced by the macro score itself) has been included. A crossover/crossunder of the macro score and the macro momentum line is included into the long/short signal syntax in addition to a threshold for the macro score.
The DFMG - Democratic Fibonacci McGinley Dynamics - is a separate indicator that we have released that takes 10 different Fibonacci McGinley Dynamic liness (lengths of 3 to 233, at Fibonacci intervals) and averages them to form the DFMG line. This helps by creating a consensus on the trend based on moving averages alone. Crossovers of the DFMG with the various Fib MG lengths as well as a cross of the price source and these lines can provide adequate long and short signals. This strategy has the signals and weights pre-determined in the code. Heaviest weights have been given to crosses of the DFMG line/ McGinley (233) as well as the crosses of the McGinley (3)/DFMG. Additionally, there are thresholds for DPO ( Detrended Price Oscillator , above or below 0), CMO ( Chande Momentum Oscillator , above or below 0), Jurik Volatility Bands (above or below 0), and Stoch RSI (above or below 50). These four signals hold a lighter weight than the McGinley cross signals. The macro score itself ranges between -10 and 10. In addition to the macro score line, a momentum line (sourced by the macro score itself) has been included. A crossover/crossunder of the macro score and the macro momentum line is included into the long/short signal syntax in addition to a threshold for the macro score.
For the Ichimoku macro score, five signals were considered and weighted equally:
- Kijun-sen < Ichimoku Source
- Tenkan-sen < Ichimoku Source
- Kijun-sen > Chikou-span
- Tenkan-sen > Kijun-sen
- Senkou Span A > Senkou Span B
In addition to these factors, the Ichimoku strategy utilizes the Donchian Cloud Score in the long and short entry signals. Thus, the Donchian Cloud settings are applicable to this strategy.
For the True Strength Index strategy, the heaviest weights have been given to various TSI signals, including a crossover/crossunder of TSI signal and TSI value, a threshold for the TSI Signal (above or below 0), and a crossover/crossunder of the CMO ( Chande Momentum Oscillator ) and the TSI signal line. Additionally, there are thresholds for DPO ( Detrended Price Oscillator , above or below 0), Jurik Volatility Bands (above or below 0), and Stoch RSI (above or below 50). These three signals hold a lighter weight than the three TSI signals. The macro score itself ranges between -10 and 10. In addition to the macro score line, a momentum line (sourced by the macro score itself) has been included. A crossover/crossunder of the macro score and the macro momentum line is included into the long/short signal syntax in addition to a threshold for the macro score.
The Donchian Cloud Score is derived from a set of 5 Donchian channels (upper, lower, and basis plotted) defaulted to lengths of 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200. A set of conditions associated with the channels aims to determine ranging versus trending markets. Weights are given to these conditions accordingly, then tallied up to determine the "cloud score", ranging between -25 and 25. In general, a ranging market is determined by a cloud score between -10 and 10, while a positive trending market has a score higher than 10 and a negative trending market has a score lower than -10. That said, long and short thresholds similar to the macro score itself are included in the user settings and set to a default of 5 or -5. The cloud score is plotted as a line in the underlay with coloration reflecting ranging or trending markets (green color above the long threshold, gray between the thresholds, and red below the short threshold). The cloud score is incorporated into the strategy syntax for long and short positions in that the score must be above or below the set threshold for a trade to be placed. A breakdown for the Donchian scoring is as follows:
- Broke the 25-length DC (DC(25)) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +1 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(50) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +2 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(100) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +3 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(150) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +4 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(200) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +5 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(25) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -1 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(50) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -2 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(100) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -3 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(150) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -4 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(200) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -5 if true, 0 if false
- DC(25) basis line above the DC(50) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(25) basis line above the DC(100) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(25)basis line above the DC(150) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(25) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(50) basis line above the DC(100) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(50) basis line above the DC(150) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(50) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(100) basis line above the DC(150) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(100) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(150) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
Thresholds for both the respective macro score and the Donchian Cloud score have been included. Entry signals for each strategy require the score to be >= the respective thresholds for longs and <= the respective thresholds for shorts.
Additionally, a normalized z-score has been included. The z-score does not affect the entry and exit signals, however, it is displayed on the chart in the form of bar coloration. The z-score has been normalized to a range of -1 to +1. A z-score under -0.60 is displayed as a red bar color, a score between -0.60 and -0.2 is displayed as an orange bar color, a score between -0.2 and 0.2 is displayed as a gray bar color, a score between 0.2 and 0.6 is displayed as a lime bar color, and a score over 0.6 is displayed in green.
Data for each respective strategy will be displayed in an overlaid table. This includes the factors that comprise the macro score of choice, the values of each signal that adds up to the macro score, the macro score itself, the value of the momentum line of the macro score, the normalized z-score value, and the Donchian Cloud score (if applicable). Green coloration notes bullish sentiment within the signals or values, gray coloration is neutral, and red coloration notes bearish sentiment.
Take profit, stop loss, and trailing percentages are also included, found at the bottom of the Input tab under “TT and TTP” as well as “Stop Loss”. The take profit and stop loss levels will be reflected as green and red lines respectively on the chart as they occur. Make sure to understand the TP/SL ratio that you desire before use, as the desired hit rate/profitability percentage will be affected accordingly. The option for adding in a trailing stop has also been included, with options to choose between an ATR-based trail or a percentage-based trail. This strategy does NOT guarantee future returns. Apply caution in trading regardless of discretionary or algorithmic. Understand the concepts of risk/reward and the intricacies of each strategy choice before utilizing them in your personal trading.
Profitview/Pineconnector Settings:
If you wish to utilize Profitview’s automation system, find the included “Profitview Settings” under the Input tab of the strategy settings menu. If not, skip this section entirely as it can be left blank. Options will be “OPEN LONG TITLE”, “OPEN SHORT TITLE”, “CLOSE LONG TITLE”, and “CLOSE SHORT TITLE”. If you wished to trade SOL, for example, you would put “SOL LONG”, “SOL SHORT”, “SOL CLOSE LONG”, and “SOL CLOSE SHORT” in these areas. Within your Profitview extension, ensure that your Alerts all match these titles. To set an alert for use with Profitview, go to the “Alerts” tab in TradingView, then create an alert. Make sure that your desired asset and timeframe are currently displayed on your screen when creating the alert. Under the “Condition” option of the alert, select the strategy, then select the expiration time. If using TradingView Premium, this can be open-ended. Otherwise, select your desired expiration time and date. This can be updated whenever desired to ensure the strategy does not expire. Under “Alert actions”, nothing necessarily needs to be selected unless so desired. Leave the “Alert name” option empty. For the “Message”, delete the generated message and replace it with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} and nothing else. If using Pineconnector, follow the same directions for setting up an alert, but use the ",buy,,risk=" syntax as noted in the tooltips.
3Commas Bot DCA Backtester & Signals FREEThis is a DCA Strategy backtester + signals, built to emulate the 3Commas DCA bots. It uses your choice of 4 different buy signals, 2 of which can be adjusted in the settings. Everything is customizable so you can backtest specific settings with different buy signals and find the best performing strategy for your risk tolerance and capital. It can be used to backtest strategies on stocks as well, but just make sure your base order is larger than the share price for the entire backtesting range or it will not calculate properly.
You can use this template to code your own buy signals and then backtest them as a DCA strategy if you know some basic pine script.
The indicator shows all of your backtesting orders on the chart. The red line is your take profit level, the blue line is your average price level, the white line is your first order and the green lines are your average down orders. If you enable a stop loss in the settings your stop loss will be shown as an orange line once all of your average down orders have been hit, it will not be set until price has dipped below your covered trading range.
These levels update when things change during backtesting so you can visualize your strategy and how it would perform as well as see if your percentage deviation is large enough to cover dips. When backtesting trades are taken, the chart will show where they were taken(in backtesting) along with info on those trades such as the number each order is, the size of that order and the percentage deviation that order is from the initial buy.
SENDING SIGNALS TO 3COMMAS
Tradingview cannot sync this backtester to 3Commas and with the way alerts are setup for strategies on Tradingview, the best option for you to give signals to your bot would be to use this backtester to figure out what trigger you want to use and then setup that indicator separately to send alerts to your bot. All of the indicators used for signals in this backtester are available for free and can be configured to match this backtester and send alerts to 3Commas for you. Just make sure you set your alerts to once per bar close and don’t use less than a 15 second timeframe because then you could trigger the Tradingview threshold for alerts and get your alerts shut off.
You can also use this backtester with your own buy triggers if you know a little pine script. Just make copy of the script and code in your own buy signals and see how it backtests.
INFO PANEL FOR ANALYZING YOUR STRATEGY
The right hand side of the screen will show an info panel that shows a lot of different information so you can quickly see your bot settings and how it performed right on the screen.
In the top right corner you will see in purple your bot settings. These include your stoploss % if turned on, take profit %, average down order %, average down order % multiplier, volume multiplier, max number of orders allowed and size of your base order.
The top section of the first column “Current Trade” shows these stats: the open trade’s average price, the open trade’s take profit price, the open trade’s PNL, how far price is from your open tarde’s take profit level in percentage, your open position size and number of open orders.
The bottom section of the first column “Overall Performance” shows these stats: total number of trades taken during backtesting range, the largest amount of trades that were open at one time during backtesting, the max drawdown, the average number of bars per trade, gross profit, net profit, percent profit from your initial capital, current portfolio value and your initial capital.
CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS TO FIND THE PERFECT STRATEGY
Stoploss On/Off
This will turn your stoploss on or off. By default it is set to off and will not affect anything unless turned on.
Stoploss Percentage
This is the percentage below your final average down order price that will be set as a stoploss to keep your account from going too far in the red on big dips.
Take Profit Percentage - This is the percentage of profit you want the trade to hit before taking profit on your entire DCA trade. This level updates everytime you average down.
Average Down Percentage - This is the percentage that price has to drop from your initial order to initiate your first safety order. If the Average Down Percent Multiplier is set to 1 then this percentage will be the same for every average down order.
Average Down Percentage Multiplier - This multiplies your Average Down Percentage so each safety order needs a larger percentage deviation than the previous one. This keeps your buys closer together at the beginning and further apart when you hit more orders so you can extend your trading range but still be aggressive when price is going sideways.
Volume Multiplier Per New Order - This multiplies the size of each trade based on your base order. If you set it to a 2x multiplier then each average down order will be 2 times the size of the last one. So for example, a $100 base order with a 2x multiplier would have these values for the first 3 average down orders: 200, 400, 800.
Size Of Base Order - This is the size of your first position entry and will be used as a starting point for the volume multiplier. If your base order is $100 then it will buy $100 worth of whatever crypto you are backtesting this on. If you are looking at stock charts, you need to make sure your base order is higher than the share price across the entire backtesting range or it will not perform correctly.
Max Number Of Orders - This is the maximum number of orders the bot can take, including your base order. Adjust this to suit the amount of capital you are willing to allocate to your bot based on how much money it will require to run according to your bot settings.
TIPS ON HOW TO USE FOR BEST RESULTS
If you don’t have a lot of capital to work with, then use longer timeframes with a reasonable take profit percentage so that you don’t need a lot of average down orders. You can also try keeping the volume multiplier close to 1.
You can use the 3Commas dca bot settings page to see how much capital you will need for your strategy if you match it to the settings you have on this indicator. You can also check to see how much of a percentage deviation your bot is covering to make sure you have a reasonable range to trade in and orders to cover big dips. You can also check your coverage by seeing how far down the chart the green lines cover, which are your average down orders.
Make sure the initial capital in the properties tab of the settings has enough to cover all of your orders otherwise you will get unrealistic backtesting results. Also, make sure you leave the order size in the properties tab on contracts so it calculates your trades correctly. The only settings you need to touch in the properties tab is the initial capital. Unless you are trading somewhere that has lower commission fees, then you can change that to match, but leave all the other settings as is for it to function properly.
Increasing the volume multiplier will make your average price and take profit target follow the price action a lot closer as price falls, but it can also lead to having very large orders very quickly once you get into the 1.5-3x multiple range. Try using a high volume multiplier with less safety orders and you will get better results, however you need to have money on the sidelines to add on major dips to keep your bot turning a profit. Be very careful with this as greed and impatience will hurt your overall performance. This bot is meant to make money with lots of small wins so don’t get greedy and make sure you have enough money to cover large dips. If you are being aggressive with your bot, then I recommend only using 25% or less of your portfolio to trade aggressively and then use the smart trade feature on 3commas to add chunks of funds to your trades when price dips below your last safety order. Or if you want it to run without any supervision, then use lower volume multipliers and have lots of safety orders that can cover entire bear markets and still keep buying lower.
It’s a good idea to have some capital on the sidelines that you can add in when price dips quickly. This will help lower your average price and allow your bot to get out in profit quicker. 3Commas bot has a smart trade feature that will allow you to track your average price when adding extra funds and it will automatically update your other orders which is very convenient. Look at the longer timeframes when price dips and only add chunks at major areas where price is very likely to bounce. Or you can be aggressive when trading and add to your position when price dips and is at a likely bounce zone to maximize profits.
Only trade coins that have a good amount of liquidity as the larger your orders get, the harder it will be to sell if there isn’t much liquidity. Also, beware of how large your first order is as it will usually be a market order and can move the market if there is not much liquidity.
Since this bot takes a lot of trades and performs best when taking small profits consistently, you will need to factor in exchange fees. The bot is set to .5% commission(you can change this) on the buy and sell orders as most exchanges charge that amount. Some exchanges offer no fee trading on certain coins so be sure to look around for those so you can keep the commissions and maximize profits.
I strongly encourage you to try out a lot of different setting combinations across multiple different coins and do it across a few months to see how it would have performed under various market conditions. This will help you get a better idea of how much of a percentage deviation you’ll need to be able to cover to keep your bot running and making constant profits. You can also use the deep backtesting feature of the strategy panel to see how it would have done, but just beware that the info panel of the indicator will not reflect deep backtesting results, only the normal backtesting range.
MARKETS
This backtester can be used on any market including crypto, stocks, forex & futures. You just need to make sure your base order is larger than the share price when using this on things besides crypto.
TIMEFRAMES
This backtester can be used on all timeframes.
Rosebud Trend Backtest [DepthHouse]*Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results*
*Strategy created for backtesting purposes only.
*Backtesting assesses the viability of a trading strategy or pricing model by discovering how it would have played out retrospectively using historical data.
* Please be sure to read all updates below as the information below could change with future updates.
Rosebud Trend Indicator uses complex range calculations to easily detect trend changes, critical support and resistance levels, and even aid in spotting reversals. The Critical Support & Resistance Zones are plotted via the red and green cloud. This cloud not only visually displays the expected trend direction but often acts as major support and resistance zones. The outer band measures the expected range in which the assets trade over longer periods of time.
The Rosebud Trend Backtest combines the calculations of the ATR Auto Oscillator & the Rosebud Trend Indicator to demonstrate backtest performance.
// Settings //
Users can switch the ‘ Trend Sensitivity ’ between ‘ Low ', ' Med ', and ‘ High ’ to increase or decrease the rate at which the cloud changes.
By altering the S/R Band Thickness users can furthermore increase or decrease the rate at which a trend changes by altering the thickness of the cloud. Default is .50 however this can be lowered if needed.
Bar colors are generated by a combination of Rosebuds primary function and our ATR AUTO Oscillator base functions. Users have 3 bar color options to select from: Simple, Complex, and Off.
Simple: Bars colors alternate between shades of red and green based on the trend direction and the ATR Auto strength. The stronger the shade, the stronger the trend.
Complex: This adds a few extra variables to the script which generates a more complex bar color display. Using this option, Rosebud will generate light red bars in a bull trend if downward movement is strong and vice versa in a bear trend. It also will generate a purple bar if the candle successfully closes above or below the Top & Bottom Range Bands; We call this a range break, and it could be an early sign of strong upward or downward movement.
Off: In case you like to keep things even simpler, this option hides all overlay bar colors.
ATR Options: Used for Light & Strong Entries/Exits // Bar Colors also based on these settings
ATR Smoothed Signal Option: Turns advance smoothing on or off. On will reduce signal noise, while Off could land you that perfect bottom signal with a lower success rate.
ATR Candlestick Length: Default factor for bar color and shape generation, the higher the number the fewer signals that will generate.
ATR Candlestick Smoothing: Default smoothing for the Candlestick Length
Signal Lookback: Adjust the factor at which Bull, Bear, Up, and Down. Lower this to 2 for more signals.
// ⇅ BackTest Settings ⇅ //
Short Trading: Option to see backtest results for both long and short positions. Default is Long Only.
Strategy Entry Options:
Trend Only: Positions are entered right as there is a cloud trend change.
Light Entry: This enters a trade as soon as there is a breakout or breakdown signal generated from the ATR settings.
Strong Entry: Multiple conditions must be met; Price action must be near the Trend Base and must receive either a bullish or bearish crossover in the oversold or overbought range of the ATR Settings.
Strategy Exit Options:
Trend Only: Exits all positions after there is a primary trend change.
Light Exit: Exits a user set percentage of open positions when the ATR generates a breakdown or breakout. Will continue to do this at each occurrence. Presets are built in to keep these from triggering too often in volatile conditions.
Strong Exit: Exits a user set percentage of open positions when the ATR generates a bullish or bearish crossover in the overbought or oversold ranges. Will continue to do this with each occurrence. Presets are built in to keep these from triggering too often in volatile conditions.
Profit Points: Exits a set percentage of the position up to 3 times at a user set percentage gap from the entry. Any remaining amount in the position exits upon a trend change.
Profit QTY Percent: Percent of the position to exit when an exit condition triggers. This does not apply to the “Trend Only” exit option.
Profit Percent Gap: Percent gap for Profit Point Exits. Recommend adjusting based on timeframe. See example below.
Strategy - DMI Indicator with DPO Indicator as a GuardThe Directional Movement Index Indicator is one of my favorite indicators in tradingview's built-in library. It is free to use for all
For more information on what the DMI is, please visit: www.tradingview.com
The only problem I've come across with the DMI is that when it hits a 'trade range zone' it triggers false new trends (this is the case with almost every indicator I've ever tested).
This script modifies the DMI by removing the need for the ADX logic. It only focuses on the +DI and the -DI.
In order to remove the 'noise' generated during a trade range zone I have added another powerful indicator called the Detrended Price Oscillator.
The DPO is also a 'built-in' indicator on tradingview. www.tradingview.com
The DPO is used in conjunction with the DMI to stop trade ranges from wrecking your profits.
This strategy logic simply checks for the DMI indicator to cross itself. If the +DI crosses over the -DI this is a bullish cross and visa versa, if the -DI crosses over the +DI then it could mean bearish sentiment is building.
But then strategy logic uses the DPO to check if the DPO is above 0 or below 0 value
If the +DI crosses over the -DI and the DPO is above 0 value, then it's a Long entry point.
However, if the +DI crosses over the -DI and the DPO is below 0 value, then the Long signal is void.
And visa versa, if the -DI crosses over the +DI and the DPO is below 0 value, then it's a Short entry point (unless the DPO is greater than 0)
With this DPO 'guard' in place, it helps us keep the total trades executed to a minimum.
This is vital to push through trade ranges that can wreck your profit potential.
I wish I could create a better plotting mechanism for this indicator so you can better see the visuals. But combining the DMI to scale with the DPO is not possible.
The best solution is to simply add another DMI indicator to your chart so you can compare the DMI to this script that is dominated by the DPO (yellow line).

ORB Breakout Strategy w/ Filters - Dynamic Sizing - MTFHere is a comprehensive description of the strategy, written in a clear and structured format. You can use this for your script's "how-to-use" guide or documentation.
---
## 📈 Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Strategy
This is a comprehensive, multi-timeframe strategy built for trading opening range breakouts. It is designed with a "filters-first" approach, allowing you to validate a breakout with trend, volume, and volatility.
The strategy's core power comes from its flexibility. You can trade on a low timeframe (like a 1-minute chart) while basing your breakout levels on a higher timeframe's opening bar (e.g., the first 15-minute bar). It includes dynamic position sizing based on risk and a wide array of advanced exit management options.
### Key Features
* **Multi-Timeframe Opening Range:** The core of the strategy. You can define the "Opening Range" timeframe (5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 min) *independently* of your chart timeframe.
* **Custom Trading Session:** Define the exact session (e.g., "0930-1600" in "America/New_York") you want to trade.
* **One Trade Per Session:** The strategy will only take the *first valid breakout* signal per day to avoid over-trading.
---
### 🚦 Entry Signals & Filters
A trade is only initiated when the price closes above the Session High or below the Session Low **AND** all active filters are passed.
* **Trend Filter:** (Optional) Requires price to be above a long-term MA (e.g., 100 EMA) for long trades and below it for short trades.
* **Volume Filter:** (Optional) Requires the breakout bar's volume to be a specified multiplier (e.g., 1.5x) of the recent average volume.
* **Volatility Filter:** (Optional) Requires the current ATR to be higher than its long-term average, ensuring you only trade during periods of expanding volatility.
* **Direction Filter:** Allows you to isolate the strategy to **Long Only**, **Short Only**, or **Both**.
---
### 💰 Dynamic Position Sizing
The strategy includes a robust "Risk %" sizing model.
* **Risk-Based Sizing:** Instead of fixed contracts, it calculates the position size based on your **Account Size**, **Risk % per Trade**, and the **Stop Loss distance**.
* **Auto-Detect Point Value:** It automatically detects the correct point value for popular futures contracts (ES, NQ, MES, MNQ) and provides a manual override for other assets.
---
### 📤 Exit & Risk Management
This strategy features a multi-layered exit system, giving you complete control over how trades are managed.
#### 1. Stop Loss (SL)
Your initial stop loss can be calculated using a fixed **Tick** offset or an **ATR** multiplier. It can be anchored from two different points:
* **Breakout Level:** The stop is placed relative to the `sessionHigh` or `sessionLow` level.
* **Entry Bar:** The stop is placed relative to the high/low of the bar that *triggered* the entry.
#### 2. Take Profit (TP)
A standard Take Profit can be set using a fixed **Tick** offset or an **ATR** multiplier.
#### 3. Advanced Exit Logic
These options override the standard Take Profit to allow for more dynamic trade management:
* **Trailing Take Profit (TTP):**
* **Fixed/ATR Trail:** A standard trailing stop that activates after price moves a certain amount in your favor.
* **MA Price Cross:** Exits the trade as soon as the price closes across a fast-moving average (e.g., 9-EMA).
* **MA Crossover:** Exits the trade as soon as a fast MA crosses below a slow MA (for longs) or above (for shorts).
* **Close on Reversal:** (Optional) Exits immediately if the **very next bar** after entry closes back *inside* the opening range (a "failed breakout" signal).
* **Close on Opposite Range Cross:** (Optional) Exits a long trade if the price ever closes below the `sessionLow` (and vice-versa for shorts).
* **End of Session Exit:** All open positions are automatically closed at the end of the defined trading session.
NY ORB - Full Dynamic SystemNY ORB - Full Dynamic Strategy Summary
1. Opening Range and Session Timing
Opening Range (ORB) Calculation: The strategy identifies the ORB High and ORB Low by tracking the highest high and lowest low during the specified New York pre-market window, which is set by default from 8:30 to 8:45 (New York time).
Entry Window: Trading activity is restricted to a specific entry period, typically starting shortly after the ORB is established (default: 8:50 to 12:00).
Hard Exit Time: Any remaining open positions are automatically closed at a fixed exit time (default: 13:25).
2. Trade Entry Logic and Filters
An entry (Long or Short) is generated when the price breaks out of the established ORB, provided it passes a series of optional filters:
Direction Control: The user can restrict the strategy to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
Second Breakout Logic: An optional filter that requires the price to break out, reverse back into the range, and then break out again, confirming momentum after a consolidation.
Confirmation Candle Count: An optional filter that checks the close of a previous candle (e.g., 1 or 2 candles ago) to ensure the price was still inside the range, preventing premature entry.
Technical Filters (Optional): The entry is only executed if it aligns with selected indicators:
RSI: Filters for non-overbought (Long) or non-oversold (Short) conditions.
MACD: Requires the MACD line to be above/below the Signal line for alignment.
VWAP: Requires the price to be above/below the Volume-Weighted Average Price.
Trend Filter (SMMA): Requires the price to be above/below a 50-period Simple Moving Average.
3. Dynamic Risk and Exit Management
This strategy features highly configurable stop-loss and profit-taking mechanics:
Primary Stop Loss Methods: The Stop Loss distance can be dynamically chosen from four types:
Fixed: A fixed number of ticks.
ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Capped ATR: ATR-based, but with a hard maximum tick limit.
OR-Based: Based on a multiple of the actual ORB High-to-Low range.
Dynamic Profit Target: The Take Profit level is calculated dynamically based on a multiplier of either the ATR or the ORB Range.
Breakeven Stop:
If enabled, the Stop Loss automatically moves to the entry price (Breakeven) once the price moves a predetermined distance in the profitable direction.
An Adaptive Breakeven option allows the trigger distance to be calculated as a percentage of the overall ATR Profit Target.
Trailing Stop: The strategy uses a trailing stop, which can be custom-set (fixed ticks) or dynamically tied to the ATR. An optional feature Auto Tighten Trailing reduces the trailing multiplier once the breakeven level is hit.
MA Cross Exit: An alternative, counter-trend exit mechanism that closes the trade if the price crosses back over the chosen Moving Average (either SMMA or VWAP), overriding the pending profit target.
4. Daily Account Management
The strategy includes crucial daily risk controls to protect capital and lock in profits:
Daily Profit Limit: If the total daily PnL (realized and unrealized) hits a predefined maximum profit threshold (in ticks), all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the trading day.
Daily Loss Limit: Conversely, if the total daily PnL hits a predefined maximum loss threshold, all trades are closed, and new entries are blocked for the remainder of the day.
Cybertrading-Insidebar hunter pro robotThe Cybertrading-Inside Pro strategy is an advanced version of Cyber-Inside.
It automates ATR-based inside-bar trading with optional pullback entries, full risk/reward visualization, time filtering, pending-order handling, and fixed chart watermark branding (“CollegePips / CyberTrading”).
⚙️ Technical Overview
1. Core Structure
Uses ATR(14) to measure volatility and classify candle ranges.
Candles are labeled as Spinning, Standard, Long, or Huge based on their range vs. ATR.
Only valid candles (Standard or Long) qualify to confirm a setup.
2. Inside-Bar Logic
The setup requires the current candle’s high/low to be fully contained inside the previous candle (an inside bar).
A wick-break must occur — the wick slightly breaks the previous inside bar’s range while the body remains inside.
This pattern forms a Pierce-Only signal.
Direction:
Wick down → potential Long entry
Wick up → potential Short entry
3. Timing and Entry Conditions
With the time filter enabled, trades trigger only between defined hours (e.g., 07–22).
If Enable Pullback is on, the entry is placed using a limit order offset by pullbackATR × ATR from the signal candle.
If the pullback entry isn’t triggered within pullbackMaxBars, the pending order is canceled automatically.
You can also enable display-only entries without execution (Enable Entry Without Pullback).
4. Risk & Target Management
Stop loss is placed beyond the second-previous candle’s high/low ± stopBuffer × ATR.
Take-profit is based on the chosen risk/reward multiple (RR) or the previous candle’s high/low.
Position size auto-adjusts to keep total risk equal to riskPercent of equity.
5. Visual Components
Dynamic chart objects include:
Red box: risk zone (entry → stop)
Green/blue box: reward zone (entry → target)
Dotted diagonal line: risk-to-reward path
Arrows: actual fill points
6. Order Management System
Each signal creates a unique order ID (pendingId) and exit ID (planExitId).
On a valid fill (newLong / newShort), real stop, target, and position size are applied.
If an order isn’t filled within the timeout window, it’s canceled and reset automatically.
7. Advantages
✅ Smart inside-bar pattern recognition
✅ Automated risk control and dynamic sizing
✅ Clear visual feedback for analysis
✅ Fully backtest-ready for research or education

Universal Regime Alpha Thermocline StrategyCurrents settings adapted for BTCUSD Daily timeframe
This description is written to comply with TradingView House Rules and Script Publishing Rules. It is self contained, in English first, free of advertising, and explains originality, method, use, defaults, and limitations. No external links are included. Nothing here is investment advice.
0. Publication mode and rationale
This script is published as Protected . Anyone can add and test it from the Public Library, yet the source code is not visible.
Why Protected
The engine combines three independent lenses into one regime score and then uses an adaptive centering layer and a thermo risk unit that share a common AAR measure. The exact mapping and interactions are the result of original research and extensive validation. Keeping the implementation protected preserves that work and avoids low effort clones that would fragment feedback and confuse users.
Protection supports a single maintained build for users. It reduces accidental misuse of internal functions outside their intended context which might lead to misleading results.
1. What the strategy does in one paragraph
Universal Regime Alpha Thermocline builds a single number between zero and one that answers a practical question for any market and timeframe. How aligned is current price action with a persistent directional regime right now. To answer this the script fuses three views of the tape. Directional entropy of up versus down closes to measure unanimity.
Convexity drift that rewards true geometric compounding and penalizes drag that comes from chop where arithmetic pace is high but growth is poor.
Tail imbalance that counts decisive bursts in one direction relative to typical bar amplitude. The three channels are blended, optionally confirmed by a higher timeframe, and then adaptively centered to remove local bias. Entries fire when the score clears an entry gate. Exits occur when the score mean reverts below an exit gate or when thermo stops remove risk. Position size can scale with the certainty of the signal.
2. Why it is original and useful
It mixes orthogonal evidence instead of leaning on a single family of tools. Many regime filters depend on moving averages or volatility compression. Here we add an information view from entropy, a growth view from geometric drift, and a structural view from tail imbalance.
The drift channel separates growth from speed. Arithmetic pace can look strong in whipsaw, yet geometric growth stays weak. The engine measures both and subtracts drag so that only sequences with compounding quality rise.
Tail counting is anchored to AAR which is the average absolute return of bars in the window. This makes the threshold self scaling and portable across symbols and timeframes without hand tuned constants.
Adaptive centering prevents the score from living above or below neutral for long stretches on assets with strong skew. It recovers neutrality while still allowing persistent regimes to dominate once evidence accumulates.
The same AAR unit used in the signal also sets stop distance and trail distance. Signal and risk speak the same language which makes the method portable and easier to reason about.
3. Plain language overview of the math
Log returns . The base series is r equal to the natural log of close divided by the previous close. Log return allows clean aggregation and makes growth comparisons natural.
Directional entropy . Inside the lookback we compute the proportion p of bars where r is positive. Binary entropy of p is high when the mix of up and down closes is balanced and low when one direction dominates. Intensity is one minus entropy. Directional sign is two times p minus one. The trend channel is zero point five plus one half times sign times intensity. It lives between zero and one and grows stronger as unanimity increases.
Convexity drift with drag . Arithmetic mean of r measures pace. Geometric mean of the price ratio over the window measures compounding. Drag is the positive part of arithmetic minus geometric. Drift raw equals geometric minus drag multiplier times drag. We then map drift through an arctangent normalizer scaled by AAR and a nonlinearity parameter so the result is stable and remains between zero and one.
Tail imbalance . AAR equals the average of the absolute value of r in the window. We count up tails where r is greater than aar_mult times AAR and down tails where r is less than minus aar_mult times AAR. The imbalance is their difference over their total, mapped to zero to one. This detects directional impulse flow.
Fusion and centering . A weighted average of the three channels yields the raw score. If a higher timeframe is requested, the same function is executed on that timeframe with lookahead off and blended with a weight. Finally we subtract a fraction of the rolling mean of the score to recover neutrality. The result is clipped to the zero to one band.
4. Entries, exits, and position sizing
Enter long when score is strictly greater than the entry gate. Enter short when score is strictly less than one minus the entry gate unless direction is restricted in inputs.
Exit a long when score falls below the exit gate. Exit a short when score rises above one minus the exit gate.
Thermo stops are expressed in AAR units. A long uses the maximum of an initial stop sized by the entry price and AAR and a trail stop that references the running high since entry with a separate multiple. Shorts mirror this with the running low. If the trail is disabled the initial stop is active.
Cooldown is a simple bar counter that begins when the position returns to flat. It prevents immediate re entry in churn.
Dynamic position size is optional. When enabled the order percent of equity scales between a floor and a cap as the score rises above the gate for longs or below the symmetric gate for shorts.
5. Inputs quick guide with recommended ranges
Every input has a tooltip in the script. The same guidance appears here for fast reading.
Core window . Shared lookback for entropy, drift, and tails. Start near 80 on daily charts. Try 60 to 120 on intraday and 80 to 200 for swing.
Entry threshold . Typical range 0.55 to 0.65 for trend following. Faster entries 0.50 to 0.55.
Exit threshold . Typical range 0.35 to 0.50. Lower holds longer yet gives back more.
Weight directional entropy . Starting value 0.40. Raise on markets with clean persistence.
Weight convexity drift . Starting value 0.40. Raise when compounding quality is critical.
Weight tail imbalance . Starting value 0.20. Raise on breakout prone markets.
Tail threshold vs AAR . Typical range 1.0 to 1.5 to count decisive bursts.
Drag penalty . Typical range 0.25 to 0.75. Higher punishes chop more.
Nonlinearity scale . Typical range 0.8 to 2.0. Larger compresses extremes.
AAR floor in percent . Typical range 0.0005 to 0.002 for liquid instruments. This stabilizes the math during quiet regimes.
Adaptive centering . Keep on for most symbols. Center strength 0.40 to 0.70.
Confirm timeframe optional . Leave empty to disable. If used, try a multiple between three and five of the chart timeframe with a blend weight near 0.20.
Dynamic position size . Enable if you want size to reflect certainty. Floor and cap define the percent of equity band. A practical band for many accounts is 0.5 to 2.
Cooldown bars after exit . Start at 3 on daily or slightly higher on shorter charts.
Thermo stop multiple . Start between 1.5 and 3.0 on daily. Adjust to your tolerance and symbol behavior.
Thermo trailing stop and Trail multiple . Trail on locks gains earlier. A trail multiple near 1.0 to 2.0 is common. You can keep trail off and let the exit gate handle exits.
Background heat opacity . Cosmetic. Set to taste. Zero disables it.
6. Properties used on the published chart
The example publication uses BTCUSD on the daily timeframe. The following Properties and inputs are used so everyone can reproduce the same results.
Initial capital 100000
Base currency USD
Order size 2 percent of equity coming from our risk management inputs.
Pyramiding 0
Commission 0.05 percent
Slippage 10 ticks in the publication for clarity. Users should introduce slippage in their own research.
Recalculate after order is filled off. On every tick off.
Using bar magnifier on. On bar close on.
Risk inputs on the published chart. Dynamic position size on. Size floor percent 2. Size cap percent 2. Cooldown bars after exit 3. Thermo stop multiple 2.5. Thermo trailing stop off. Trail multiple 1.
7. Visual elements and alerts
The score is painted as a subtle dot rail near the bottom. A background heat map runs from red to green to convey regime strength at a glance. A compact HUD at the top right shows current score, the three component channels, the active AAR, and the remaining cooldown. Four alerts are included. Long Setup and Short Setup on entry gates. Exit Long by Score and Exit Short by Score on exit gates. You can disable trading and use alerts only if you want the score as a risk switch inside a discretionary plan.
8. How to reproduce the example
Open a BTCUSD daily chart with regular candles.
Add the strategy and load the defaults that match the values above.
Set Properties as listed in section 6.(they are set by default) Confirm that bar magnifier is on and process on bar close is on.
Run the Strategy Tester. Confirm that the trade count is reasonable for the sample. If the count is too low, slightly lower the entry threshold or extend history. If the count is excessively high, raise the threshold or add a small cooldown.
9. Practical tuning recipes
Trend following focus . Raise the entry threshold toward 0.60. Raise the trend weight to 0.50 and reduce tail weight to 0.15. Keep drift near 0.35 to retain the growth filter. Consider leaving the trail off and let the exit threshold manage positions.
Breakout focus . Keep entry near 0.55. Raise tail weight to 0.35. Keep aar_mult near 1.3 so only decisive bursts count. A modest cooldown near 5 can reduce immediate false flips after the first burst bar.
Chop defense . Raise drag multiplier to 0.70. Raise exit threshold toward 0.48 to recycle capital earlier. Consider a higher cooldown, for example 8 to 12 on intraday.
Higher timeframe blend . On a daily chart try a weekly confirm with a blend near 0.20. On a five minute chart try a fifteen minute confirm. This moderates transitions.
Sizing discipline . If you want constant position size, set floor equal to cap. If you want certainty scaling, set a band like 0.5 to 2 and monitor drawdown behavior before widening it.
10. Strengths and limitations
Strengths
Self scaling unit through AAR makes the tool portable across markets and timeframes.
Blends evidence that target different failure modes. Unanimity, growth quality, and impulse flow rarely agree by chance which raises confidence when they align.
Adaptive centering reduces structural bias at the score level which helps during regime flips.
Limitations
In very quiet regimes AAR becomes small even with a floor. If your symbol is thin or gap prone, raise the floor a little to keep stops and drift mapping stable.
Adaptive centering can delay early breakout acceptance. If you miss starts, lower center strength or temporarily disable centering while you evaluate.
Tail counting uses a fixed multiple of AAR. If a market alternates between very calm and very violent weeks, a single aar_mult may not capture both extremes. Sweep this parameter in research.
The engine reacts to realized structure. It does not anticipate scheduled news or liquidity shocks. Use event awareness if you trade around releases.
11. Realism and responsible publication
No promises or projections of performance are made. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Commission is set to 0.05 percent per round which is realistic for many crypto venues. Adjust to your own broker or exchange.
Slippage is set at 10 in the publication . Introduce slippage in your own tests or use a percent model.
Position size should respect sustainable risk envelopes. Risking more than five to ten percent per trade is rarely viable. The example uses a fixed two percent position size.
Security calls use lookahead off. Standard candles only. Non standard chart types like Heikin Ashi or Renko are not supported for strategies that submit orders.
12. Suggested research workflow
Begin with the balanced defaults. Confirm that the trade count is sensible for your timeframe and symbol. As a rough guide, aim for at least one hundred trades across a wide sample for statistical comfort. If your timeframe cannot produce that count, complement with multiple symbols or run longer history.
Sweep entry and exit thresholds on a small grid and observe stability. Stability across windows matters more than the single best value.
Try one higher timeframe blend with a modest weight. Large weights can drown the signal.
Vary aar_mult and drag_mult together. This tunes the aggression of breakouts versus defense in chop.
Evaluate whether dynamic size improves risk adjusted results for your style. If not, set floor equal to cap for constancy.
Walk forward through disjoint segments and inspect results by regime. Bootstrapping or segmented evaluation can reveal sensitivity to specific periods.
13. How to read the HUD and heat map
The HUD presents a compact view. Score is the current fused value. Trend is the directional entropy channel. Drift is the compounding quality channel. Tail is the burst flow channel. AAR is the current unit that scales stops and the drift map. CD is the cooldown counter. The background heat is a visual aid only. It can be disabled in inputs. Green zones near the upper band show alignment among the channels. Muted colors near the mid band show uncertainty.
14. Frequently asked questions
Can I use this as a pure indicator . Yes. Disable entries by restricting direction to one side you will not trade and use the alerts as a regime switch.
Will it work on intraday charts . Yes. The AAR unit scales with bar size. You will likely reduce the core window and increase cooldown slightly.
Should I enable the adaptive trail . If you wish to lock gains sooner and accept more exits, enable it. If you prefer to let the exit gate do the heavy lifting, keep it off.
Why do I sometimes see a green background without a position . Heat expresses the score. A position also depends on threshold comparisons, direction mode, and cooldown.
Why is Order size set to one hundred percent if dynamic size is on . The script passes an explicit quantity percent on each entry. That explicit quantity overrides the property. The property is kept at one hundred percent to avoid confusion when users later disable dynamic sizing.
Can I combine this with other tools on my chart . You can, yet for publication the chart is kept clean so users and moderators can see the output clearly. In your private workspace feel free to add other context.
15. Concepts glossary
AAR . Average absolute return across the lookback. Serves as a unit for tails, drift scaling, and stops.
Directional entropy . A measure of uncertainty of up versus down closes. Low entropy paired with a directional sign signals unanimity.
Geometric mean growth . Rate that preserves the effect of compounding over many bars.
Drag . The positive difference between arithmetic pace and geometric growth. Larger drag often signals churn that looks active but fails to compound.
Thermo stops . Stops expressed in the same AAR unit as the signal. They adapt with volatility and keep risk and signal on a common scale.
Adaptive centering . A bias correction that recenters the fused score around neutral so the meter does not drift due to persistent skew.
16. Educational notice and risk statement
Markets involve risk. This publication is for education and research. It does not provide financial advice and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument. Use realistic costs. Validate ideas with out of sample testing and with conservative position sizing. Past performance never guarantees future results.
17. Final notes for readers and moderators
The goal of this strategy is clarity and portability. Clarity comes from a single score that reflects three independent features of the tape. Portability comes from self scaling units that respect structure across assets and timeframes. The publication keeps the chart clean, explains the math plainly, lists defaults and Properties used, and includes warnings where care is required. The code is protected so the implementation remains consistent for the community while the description remains complete enough for users to understand its purpose and for moderators to evaluate originality and usefulness. If you explore variants, keep them self contained, explain exactly what they contribute, publish in English first, and treat others with respect in the comments.
Load the strategy on BTCUSD daily with the defaults listed above and study how the score transitions across regimes. Then adjust one lever at a time. Observe how the trend channel, the drift channel, and the tail channel interact during starts, pauses, and reversals. Use the alerts as a risk switch inside your own process or let the built in entries and exits run if you prefer an automated study. The intent is not to promise outcomes. The intent is to give you a robust meter for regime strength that travels well across markets and helps you structure decisions with more confidence.
Thank you for your time to read all of this
Kz GC1! ORBStrategy that trades breakouts on GC1! futures on the 5min timeframe. It also works on MGC1! for lower drawdown and to manage Apex and Top Step accounts with the lower risk.
Risk Disclaimer:
Past results as well as strategy tester reports do not indicate future performance. Guarantees do not exist in trading. By using this strategy you risk losing all your money.
Important:
It trades all days that markets are open. Set times may be seen on settings. Trades multiple times a day sometimes.
It works on the 5 and 15min timeframe only. Results are better on 5min timeframe.
The settings are optimized already for GC1! on the 5min timeframe.
How it works:
Every trading day it measures the range of the first 15min candle of pre-selected hours. As soon as price closes above or below on the 15min timeframe, it will trade the breakout targeting a set risk to reward ratio. SL on the opposite side of the range.
Settings:
Hourly Trading Hours: These are the times that worked best for this strategy. All boxes should be checked for best results. Excluded times were when it performed bad which is why those times have been left out.
ORB Formation Period: This setting determines on which timeframe candle has to close outside the opening range box in order to take a trade. It's set to 15min by default because this is what worked by far the best
Entry Type: Entries are immediate instead of waiting for a pull back to enter on a limit order.
Limit Orders: If enabled, the strategy will place a pending order x points from the current price, instead of a market order. Immediate orders are enabled by default for a better performance. Important: It doesn't actually place a limit order. The strategy will just wait for a pullback and then enter with a market order. It's more like a hidden limit order.
Limit Order Offset Points: If you have limit orders enabled, this setting determines how many points from the current price the limit order will be placed.
FVG Detection Type: How fast it detects the fair value gaps. Standard detection over immediate had better performance
Risk Type: You can chose either between Fixed USD Amount, Risk per Trade in % or Fixed Contract Size. By default it's set to fixed contract size.
Risk Amount (USD or Contracts): This setting is to set how many USD or how many contracts you want to risk per trade. Make sure to check which risk type you have selected before you choose the risk amount.
Take Profit Multiplier: This is simply the total SL size in points multiplied by x.
Example: If you put 2, you get a 2:1 Risk to Reward Ratio. By Default it's set to 2.5 because this gave the best results in backtests.
Stop Loss Padding: This is simply the buffer in points that is added to the SL for safety reasons. If you have it on 0, the SL will be at the exact price of the opposite side of the range. By default it's set to 5 because this is what delivered the best results in backtests.
Stop Loss Placement: This determines where the stop loss gets placed for the order. It has been set to ORB Range by default as this delivered the best results.
Max Trades Per Hour: This allows the user to decide how many trades are taken an hour. 1 is been set to default for best results
Visual Settings: Check boxes to show orb range, FVG's, Entry points, and trade visualization boxes.
Backtest Settings:
For the backtest the commissions were set to 1.29USD per contract and .35USD for micros which is the highest amount Tradovate charges Margin was not accounted for because typically on prop accounts you can use way more contracts than you need for the extremely low max drawdown. Margin would be important on personal accounts but even there typically it's not an issue at all especially because this strategy runs on the 15min timeframe so it won't use a lot of contracts anyways.
Why the source code is hidden:
The source code is hidden because I invested a lot of time and money into developing this strategy and optimizing it with paid 3rd party software.
Quantum Reversal Engine [ApexLegion]Quantum Reversal Engine
STRATEGY OVERVIEW
This strategy is constructed using 5 custom analytical filters that analyze different market dimensions - trend structure, momentum expansion, volume confirmation, price action patterns, and reversal detection - with results processed through a multi-component scoring calculation that determines signal generation and position management decisions.
Why These Custom Filters Were Independently Developed:
This strategy employs five custom-developed analytical filters:
1. Apex Momentum Core (AMC) - Custom oscillator with volatility-scaled deviation calculation
Standard oscillators lag momentum shifts by 2-3 bars. Custom calculation designed for momentum analysis
2. Apex Wick Trap (AWT) - Wick dominance analysis for trap detection
Existing wick analysis tools don't quantify trap conditions. Uses specific ratios for wick dominance detection
3. Apex Volume Pulse (AVP) - Volume surge validation with participation confirmation
Volume indicators typically use simple averages. Uses surge multipliers with participation validation
4. Apex TrendGuard (ATG) - Angle-based trend detection with volatility band integration
EMA slope calculations often produce false signals. Uses angle analysis with volatility bands for confirmation
5. Quantum Composite Filter (QCF) - Multi-component scoring and signal generation system
Composite scoring designed to filter noise by requiring multiple confirmations before signal activation.
Each filter represents mathematical calculations designed to address specific analytical requirements.
Framework Operation: The strategy functions as a scoring framework where each filter contributes weighted points based on market conditions. Entry signals are generated when minimum threshold scores are met. Exit management operates through a three-tier system with continued signal strength evaluation determining position holds versus closures at each TP level.
Integration Challenge: The core difficulty was creating a scoring system where five independent filters could work together without generating conflicting signals. This required backtesting to determine effective weight distributions.
Custom Filter Development:
Each of the five filters represents analytical approaches developed through testing and validation:
Integration Validation: Each filter underwent individual testing before integration. The composite scoring system required validation to verify that filters complement rather than conflict with each other, resulting in a cohesive analytical framework that was tested during the development period.
These filters represent custom-developed components created specifically for this strategy, with each component addressing different analytical requirements through testing and parameter adjustment.
Programming Features:
Multi-timeframe data handling with backup systems
Performance optimization techniques
Error handling for live trading scenarios
Parameter adaptation based on market conditions
Strategy Features:
Uses multi-filter confirmation approach
Adapts position holding based on continued signal strength
Includes analysis tools for trade review and optimization
Ongoing Development: The strategy was developed through testing and validation processes during the creation period.
COMPONENT EXPLANATION
EMA System
Uses 8 exponential moving averages (7, 14, 21, 30, 50, 90, 120, 200 periods) for trend identification. Primary signals come from 8/21 EMA crossovers, while longer EMAs provide structural context. EMA 1-4 determine short-term structure, EMA 5-8 provide long-term trend confirmation.
Apex Momentum Core (AMC)
Built custom oscillator mathematics after testing dozens of momentum calculation methods. Final algorithm uses price deviation from EMA baseline with volatility scaling to reduce lag while maintaining accuracy across different market conditions.
Custom momentum oscillator using price deviation from EMA baseline:
apxCI = 100 * (source - emaBase) / (sensitivity * sqrt(deviation + 1))
fastLine = EMA(apxCI, smoothing)
signalLine = SMA(fastLine, 4)
Signals generate when fastLine crosses signalLine at +50/-50 thresholds.
This identifies momentum expansion before traditional oscillators.
Apex Volume Pulse (AVP)
Created volume surge analysis that goes beyond simple averages. Extensive testing determined 1.3x multiplier with participation validation provides reliable confirmation while filtering false volume spikes.
Compares current volume to 21-period moving average.
Requires 1.3x average volume for signal confirmation. This filters out low-volume moves during quiet periods and confirms breakouts with actual participation.
Apex Wick Trap (AWT)
Developed proprietary wick trap detection through analysis of failed breakout patterns. Tested various ratio combinations before settling on 60% wick dominance + 20% body limit as effective trap identification parameters.
Analyzes candle structure to identify failed breakouts:
candleRange = math.max(high - low, 0.00001)
candleBody = math.abs(close - open)
bodyRatio = candleBody / candleRange
upperWick = high - math.max(open, close)
lowerWick = math.min(open, close) - low
upperWickRatio = upperWick / candleRange
lowerWickRatio = lowerWick / candleRange
trapWickLong = showAWT and lowerWickRatio > minWickDom and bodyRatio < bodyToRangeLimit and close > open
trapWickShort = showAWT and upperWickRatio > minWickDom and bodyRatio < bodyToRangeLimit and close < open This catches reversals after fake breakouts.
Apex TrendGuard (ATG)
Built angle-based trend detection after standard EMA crossovers proved insufficient. Combined slope analysis with volatility bands through iterative testing to eliminate false trend signals.
EMA slope analysis with volatility bands:
Fast EMA (21) vs Slow EMA (55) for trend direction
Angle calculation: atan(fast - slow) * 180 / π
ATR bands (1.75x multiplier) for breakout confirmation
Minimum 25° angle for strong trend classification

HOW TO USE THE STRATEGY
Step 1: Initial Setup
Apply strategy to your preferred timeframe (backtested on 15M)
Enable "Use Heikin-Ashi Base" for smoother signals in volatile markets
"Show EMA Lines" and "Show Ichimoku Cloud" are enabled for visual context
Set default quantities to match your risk management (5% equity default)
Step 2: Signal Recognition
Visual Signal Guide:
Visual Signal Guide - Complete Reference:
🔶 Red Diamond: Bearish momentum breakdown - short reversal signal
🔷 Blue Diamond: Strong bullish momentum - long reversal signal
🔵 Blue Dot: Volume-confirmed directional move - trend continuation
🟢 Green Dot: Bullish EMA crossover - trend reversal confirmation
🟠 Orange X: Oversold reversal setup - counter-trend opportunity
❌ Red X: Bearish EMA breakdown - trend reversal warning
✡ Star Uprising: Strong bullish convergence
💥 Ultra Entry: Ultra-rapid downward momentum acceleration
▲ VSS Long: Velocity-based bullish momentum confirmation
▼ VSS Short: Velocity-based bearish momentum confirmation
Step 3: Entry Execution
For Long Positions:
1. ✅ EMA1 crossed above EMA2 exactly 3 bars ago [ta.crossover(ema1,ema2) ]
2. ✅ Current EMA structure: EMA1 > EMA2 (maintained)
3. ✅ Composite score ≥ 5.0 points (6.5+ for 5-minute timeframes)
4. ✅ Cooldown period completed (no recent stop losses)
5. ✅ Volume spike confirmation (green dot/blue dot signals)
6. ✅ Bullish candle closes above EMA structure
For Short Positions:
1. ✅ EMA1 crossed below EMA2 exactly 3 bars ago [ta.crossunder(ema1,ema2) ]
2. ✅ Current EMA structure: EMA1 < EMA2 (maintained)
3. ✅ Composite score ≥ 5.4 points (7.0+ for 5-minute timeframes)
4. ✅ Cooldown period completed (no recent stop losses)
5. ✅ Momentum breakdown (red diamond/red X signals)
6. ✅ Bearish candle closes below EMA structure
🎯 Critical Timing Note: The strategy requires EMA crossover to have occurred 3 bars prior to entry, not at the current bar. This attempts to avoid premature entries and may improve signal reliability.
Step 4: Reading Market Context
EMA Ribbon Interpretation:
All EMAs ascending = Strong uptrend context
EMAs 1-3 above EMAs 4-8 = Bullish structure
Tight EMA spacing = Low volatility/consolidation
Wide EMA spacing = High volatility/trending
Ichimoku Cloud Context:
Price above cloud = Bullish environment
Price below cloud = Bearish environment
Cloud color intensity = Momentum strength
Thick cloud = Strong support/resistance
THE SMART EXIT GRID SYSTEM
Smart Exit Grid Approach:
The Smart Exit Grid uses dynamic hold evaluation that continuously analyzes market conditions after position entry. This differs from traditional fixed profit targets by adapting exit timing based on real-time signal strength.
How Smart Exit Grid System Works
The system operates through three evaluation phases:
Smart Score Calculation:
The smart score calculation aggregates 22 signal components in real-time, combining reversal warnings, continuation signals, trend alignment indicators, EMA structural analysis, and risk penalties into a numerical representation of market conditions. MTF analysis provides additional confirmation as a separate validation layer.
Signal Stack Management:
The per-tick signal accumulation system monitors 22 active signal types with MTF providing trend validation and conflict detection as a separate confirmation layer.
Take Profit Progression:
Smart Exit Activation:
The QRE system activates Smart Exit Grid immediately upon position entry. When strategy.entry() executes, the system initializes monitoring systems designed to track position progress.
Upon position opening, holdTimer begins counting, establishing the foundation for subsequent decisions. The Smart Exit Grid starts accumulating signals from entry, with all 22 signal components beginning real-time tracking when the trade opens.
The system operates on continuous evaluation where smartScoreLong and smartScoreShort calculate from the first tick after entry. QRE's approach is designed to capture market structure changes, trend deteriorations, or signal pattern shifts that can trigger protective exits even before the first take profit level is reached.
This activation creates a proactive position management framework. The 8-candle sliding window starts from entry, meaning that if market conditions change rapidly after entry - due to news events, liquidity shifts, or technical changes - the system can respond within the configured lookback period.
TP Markers as Reference Points:
The TP1, TP2, and TP3 levels function as reference points rather than mandatory exit triggers. When longTP1Hit or shortTP1Hit conditions activate, they serve as profit confirmation markers that inform the Smart Exit algorithm about achieved reward levels, but don't automatically initiate position closure.
These TP markers enhance the Smart Exit decision matrix by providing profit context to ongoing signal evaluation. The system recognizes when positions have achieved target returns, but the actual exit decision remains governed by continuous smart score evaluation and signal stack analysis.
TP2 Reached: Enhanced Monitoring
TP2 represents significant profit capture with additional monitoring features:
This approach is designed to help avoid premature profit-taking during trending conditions. If TP2 is reached but smartScoreLong remains above the dynamic threshold and the 8-candle sliding window shows persistent signals, the position continues holding. If market structure deteriorates before reaching TP2, the Smart Exit can trigger closure based on signal analysis.
The visual TP circles that appear when levels are reached serve as performance tracking tools, allowing users to see how frequently entries achieve various profit levels while understanding that actual exit timing depends on market structure analysis.
Risk Management Systems:
Operating independently from the Smart Exit Grid are two risk management systems: the Trap Wick Detection Protocol and the Stop Loss Mechanism. These systems maintain override authority over other exit logic.
The Trap Wick System monitors for conditionBearTrapExit during long positions and conditionBullTrapExit during short positions. When detected, these conditions trigger position closure with state reset, bypassing Smart Exit evaluations. This system recognizes that certain candlestick patterns may indicate reversal risk.
Volatility Exit Monitoring: The strategy monitors for isStrongBearCandle combined with conditionBearTrapExit, recognizing when market structure may be shifting.
Volume Validation: Before exiting on volatility, the strategy requires volume confirmation: volume > ta.sma(volume, 20) * 1.8. This is designed to filter exits on weak, low-volume movements.
The Stop Loss Mechanism operates through multiple triggers including traditional price-based stops (longSLHit, shortSLHit) and early exit conditions based on smart score deterioration combined with negative ROI. The early exit logic activates when smartScoreLong < 1.0 or smartScoreShort < 1.0 while realROI < -0.9%.
These risk management systems are designed so that risk scenarios can trigger protective closure with state reset across all 22 signal counters, TP tracking variables, and smart exit states.
This architecture - Smart Exit activation, TP markers as navigation tools, and independent risk management - creates a position management system that adapts to market conditions while maintaining risk discipline through dedicated protection protocols.
TP3 Reached: Enhanced Protection
Once TP3 is hit, the strategy shifts into enhanced monitoring:
EMA Structure Monitoring: isEMAStructureDown becomes a primary exit trigger
MTF Alignment: The higher timeframe receives increased consideration
Wick Trap Priority: conditionBearTrapExit becomes an immediate exit signal
Approach Differences:
Traditional Fixed Exits:
Exit at predetermined levels regardless of market conditions
May exit during trend continuation
May exit before trend completion
Limited adaptation to changing volatility
Smart Exit Grid Approach:
Adaptive timing based on signal conditions
Exits when supporting signals weaken
Multi-timeframe validation for trend confirmation
Volume confirmation requirements for holds
Structural monitoring for trend analysis
Dynamic ATR-Based Smart Score Threshold System
Market Volatility Adaptive Scoring
// Real-time ATR Analysis
atr_raw = ta.atr(atrLen)
atrValue = na(atr_raw) ? close * 0.02 : atr_raw
atrRatio = atrValue / close
// Three-Tier Dynamic Threshold Matrix
dynamicThreshold = atrRatio > 0.02 ? 1.0 : // High volatility: Lower threshold
(atrRatio > 0.01 ? 1.5 : // Medium volatility: Standard
2.8) // Low volatility: Higher threshold
The market volatility adaptive scoring calculates real-time ATR with a 2% fallback for new markets. The atrRatio represents the relationship between current volatility and price, creating a foundation for threshold adjustment.
The three-tier dynamic threshold matrix responds to market conditions by adjusting requirements based on volatility levels: lowering thresholds during high volatility periods above 2% ATR ratio to 1.0 points, maintaining standard requirements at 1.5 points for medium volatility between 1-2%, and raising standards to 2.8 points during low volatility periods below 1%.
Profit-Loss Adaptive Management:
The system applies different evaluation criteria based on position performance:
Winning Positions (realROI ≥ 0%):
→ timeMultiplier = 1.0 (No additional pressure)
→ Maintains base threshold requirements
→ Allows natural progression to TP2/TP3 levels
Losing Positions (realROI < 0%):
→ Progressive time pressure activated
→ Increasingly strict requirements over time
→ Faster decision-making on underperforming trades
ROI-Adaptive Smart Hold Decision Process:
The strategy uses a profit-loss adaptive system:
Winning Position Management (ROI ≥ 0%):
✅ Standard threshold requirements maintained
✅ No additional time-based pressure applied
✅ Allows positions to progress toward TP2/TP3 levels
✅ timeMultiplier remains at 1.0 regardless of hold duration
Losing Position Management (ROI < 0%):
⚠️ Time-based threshold adjustments activated
⚠️ Progressive increase in required signal strength over time
⚠️ Earlier exit evaluation on underperforming positions
⚠️ timeMultiplier increases from 1.0 → 1.1 → 1.3 based on hold duration
Real-Time Monitoring:
Monitor Analysis Table → "Smart" filter → "Score" vs "Dynamic Threshold"
Winning positions: Evaluation based on signal strength deterioration only
Losing positions: Evaluation considers both signal strength and progressive time adjustments
Breakeven positions (0% ROI): Treated as winning positions - no time adjustments
This approach differentiates between winning and losing positions in the hold evaluation process, requiring higher signal thresholds for extended holding of losing positions while maintaining standard requirements for winning ones.
ROI-Conditional Decision Matrix Examples:
Scenario 1 - Winning Position in Any Market:
Position ROI: +0.8% → timeMultiplier = 1.0 (regardless of hold time)
ATR Medium (1.2%) → dynamicThreshold = 1.5
Final Threshold = 1.5 × 1.0 = 1.5 points ✅ Position continues
Scenario 2 - Losing Position, Extended Hold:
Position ROI: -0.5% → Time pressure activated
Hold Time: 20 bars → timeMultiplier = 1.3
ATR Low (0.8%) → dynamicThreshold = 2.8
Final Threshold = 2.8 × 1.3 = 3.64 points ⚡ Enhanced requirements
Scenario 3 - Fresh Losing Position:
Position ROI: -0.3% → Time pressure activated
Hold Time: 5 bars → timeMultiplier = 1.0 (still early)
ATR High (2.1%) → dynamicThreshold = 1.0
Final Threshold = 1.0 × 1.0 = 1.0 points 📊 Recovery opportunity
Scenario 4 - Breakeven Position:
Position ROI: 0.0% → timeMultiplier = 1.0 (no pressure)
Hold Time: 15 bars → No time penalty applied
Final Threshold = dynamicThreshold only ⚖️ Neutral treatment
🔄8-Candle Sliding Window Signal Rotation System
Composite Signal Counting Mechanism
// Dynamic Lookback Window (configurable: default 8)
signalLookbackBars = input.int(8, "Composite Lookback Bars", minval=1, maxval=50)
// Rolling Signal Analysis
compositeBuyRecentCount = 0
compositeSellRecentCount = 0
for i = 0 to signalLookbackBars - 1
compositeBuyRecentCount += compositeBuySignal ? 1 : 0
compositeSellRecentCount += compositeSellSignal ? 1 : 0
Candle Flow Example (8-bar window):
→
✓ ✓ ✗ ✓ ✗ ✓ ✗ ✓ 🗑️
New Signal Count = 5/8 signals in window
Threshold Check: 5 ≥ signalMinCount (2) = HOLD CONFIRMED
Signal Decay & Refresh Mechanism
// Signal Persistence Tracking
if compositeBuyRecentCount >= signalMinCount
smartHold_Long = true
else
smartHold_Long = false
The composite signal counting operates through a configurable sliding window. The system maintains rolling counters that scan backward through the specified number of candles.
During each evaluation cycle, the algorithm iterates through historical bars, incrementing counters when composite signals are detected. This creates a dynamic signal persistence measurement where recent signal density determines holding decisions.
The sliding window rotation functions like a moving conveyor belt where new signals enter while the oldest signals drop off. For example, in an 8-bar window, if 5 out of 8 recent candles showed composite buy signals, and the minimum required count is 2, the system confirms the hold condition. As new bars form, the window slides forward, potentially changing the signal count and triggering exit conditions when signal density falls below the threshold.
Signal decay and refresh occur continuously where smartHold_Long remains true only when compositeBuyRecentCount exceeds signalMinCount. When recent signal density drops below the minimum requirement, the system switches to exit mode.
Advanced Signal Stack Management - 22-Signal Real-Time Evaluation
// Long Position Signal Stacking (calc_on_every_tick=true)
if inLong
// Primary Reversal Signals
if signalRedDiamond: signalCountRedDiamond += 1 // -0.5 points
if signalStarUprising: signalCountStarUprising += 1 // +1.5 points
if entryUltraShort: signalCountUltra += 1 // -1.0 points
// Trend Confirmation Signals
if strongUpTrend: trendUpCount_Long += 1 // +1.5 points
if emaAlignment_Bull: bullAlignCount_Long += 1 // +1.0 points
// Risk Assessment Signals
if highRisk_Long: riskCount_Long += 1 // -1.5 points
if topZone: tzoneCount_Long += 1 // -0.5 points
The per-tick signal accumulation system operates with calc_on_every_tick=true for real-time responsiveness. During long positions, the system monitors primary reversal signals where Red Diamond signals subtract 0.5 points as reversal warnings, Star Uprising adds 1.5 points for continuation signals, and Ultra Short signals deduct 1.0 points as counter-trend warnings.
Trend confirmation signals provide weighted scoring where strongUpTrend adds 1.5 points for aligned momentum, emaAlignment_Bull contributes 1.0 point for structural support, and various EMA-based confirmations contribute to the overall score. Risk assessment signals apply negative weighting where highRisk_Long situations subtract 1.5 points, topZone conditions deduct 0.5 points, and other risk factors create defensive scoring adjustments.
The smart score calculation aggregates all 22 components in real-time, combining reversal warnings, continuation signals, trend alignment indicators, EMA structural analysis, and risk penalties into a numerical representation of market conditions. This score updates continuously, providing the foundation for hold-or-exit decisions.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME (MTF) SYSTEM
MTF Data Collection
The strategy requests higher timeframe data (default 30-minute) for trend confirmation:
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, mtfTimeframe, , lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off, gaps=barmerge.gaps_off)
MTF Watchtower System - Implementation Logic
The system employs a timeframe discrimination protocol where currentTFInMinutes is compared against a 30-minute threshold. This creates different operational behavior between timeframes:
📊 Timeframe Testing Results:
30M+ charts: Full MTF confirmation → Tested with full features
15M charts: Local EMA + adjusted parameters → Standard testing baseline
5M charts: Local EMA only → Requires parameter adjustment
1M charts: High noise → Limited testing conducted
When the chart timeframe is 30 minutes or above, the strategy activates useMTF = true and requests external MTF data through request.security(). For timeframes below 30 minutes, including your 5-minute setup, the system deliberately uses local EMA calculations to avoid MTF lag and data inconsistencies.
The triple-layer data sourcing architecture works as follows: timeframes from 1 minute to 29 minutes rely on chart-based EMA calculations for immediate responsiveness. Timeframes of 30 minutes and above utilize MTF data through the security function, with a backup system that doubles the EMA length (emaLen * 2) if MTF data fails. When MTF data is unavailable or invalid, the system falls back to local EMA as the final safety net.
Data validation occurs through a pipeline where mtf_dataValid checks not only for non-null values but also verifies that EMA values are positive above zero. The system tracks data sources through mtf_dataSource which displays "MTF Data" for successful external requests, "Backup EMA" for failed MTF with backup system active, or "Chart EMA" for local calculations.
🔄 MTF Smart Score Caching & Recheck System
// Cache Update Decision Logic
mtfSmartIntervalSec = input.int(300, "Smart Grid Recheck Interval (sec)") // 5-minute cache
canRecheckSmartScore = na(timenow) ? false :
(na(lastCheckTime) or (timenow - lastCheckTime) > mtfSmartIntervalSec * 1000)
// Cache Management
if canRecheckSmartScore
lastCheckTime := timenow
cachedSmartScoreLong := smartScoreLong // Store current calculation
cachedSmartScoreShort := smartScoreShort
The performance-optimized caching system addresses the computational intensity of continuous MTF analysis through intelligent interval management. The mtfSmartIntervalSec parameter, defaulting to 300 seconds (5 minutes), determines cache refresh frequency. The system evaluates canRecheckSmartScore by comparing current time against lastCheckTime plus the configured interval.
When cache updates trigger, the system stores current calculations in cachedSmartScoreLong and cachedSmartScoreShort, creating stable reference points that reduce excessive MTF requests. This cache management balances computational efficiency with analytical accuracy.
The cache versus real-time hybrid system creates a multi-layered decision matrix where immediate signals update every tick for responsive market reaction, cached MTF scores refresh every 5 minutes for stability filtering, dynamic thresholds recalculate every bar for volatility adaptation, and sliding window analysis updates every bar for trend persistence validation.
This architecture balances real-time signal detection with multi-timeframe strategic validation, creating adaptive trading intelligence that responds immediately to market changes while maintaining strategic stability through cached analysis and volatility-adjusted decision thresholds.
⚡The Execution Section Deep Dive
The execution section represents the culmination of all previous systems – where analysis transforms into action.
🚪 Entry Execution: The Gateway Protocol
Primary Entry Validation:
Entry isn't just about seeing a signal – it's about passing through multiple security checkpoints, each designed to filter out low-quality opportunities.
Stage 1: Signal Confirmation
entryCompositeBuySignal must be TRUE for longs
entryCompositeSellSignal must be TRUE for shorts
Stage 2: Enhanced Entry Validation
The strategy employs an "OR" logic system that recognizes different types of market opportunities:
Path A - Trend Reversal Entry:
When emaTrendReversal_Long triggers, it indicates the market structure is shifting in favor of the trade direction. This isn't just about a single EMA crossing – it represents a change in market momentum that experienced traders recognize as potential high-probability setups.
Path B - Momentum Breakout Entry:
The strongBullMomentum condition is where QRE identifies accelerating market conditions:
Criteria:
EMA1 rising for 3+ candles AND
EMA2 rising for 2+ candles AND
Close > 10-period high
This combination captures those explosive moves where the market doesn't just trend – it accelerates, creating momentum-driven opportunities.
Path C - Recovery Entry:
When previous exit states are clean (no recent stop losses), the strategy permits entry based purely on signal strength. This pathway is designed to help avoid the strategy becoming overly cautious after successful trades.
🛡️ The Priority Exit Matrix: When Rules Collide
Not all exit signals are created equal. QRE uses a strict hierarchy that is designed to avoid conflicting signals from causing hesitation:
Priority Level 1 - Exception Exits (Immediate Action):
Condition: TP3 reached AND Wick Trap detected
Action: Immediate exit regardless of other signals
Rationale: Historical analysis suggests wick traps at TP3 may indicate potential reversals
Priority Level 2 - Structural Breakdown:
Condition: TP3 active AND EMA structure deteriorating AND Smart Score insufficient
Logic: isEMAStructureDown AND NOT smartHold_Long
This represents the strategy recognizing that the underlying market structure that justified the trade is failing. It's like a building inspector identifying structural issues – you don't wait for additional confirmation.
Priority Level 3 - Enhanced Volatility Exits:
Conditions: TP2 active AND Strong counter-candle AND Wick trap AND Volume spike
Logic: Multiple confirmation required to reduce false exits
Priority Level 4 - Standard Smart Score Exits:
Condition: Any TP level active AND smartHold evaluates to FALSE
This is the bread-and-butter exit logic where signal deterioration triggers exit
⚖️ Stop Loss Management: Risk Control Protocol
Dual Stop Loss System:
QRE provides two stop loss modes that users can select based on their preference:
Fixed Mode (Default - useAdaptiveSL = false):
Uses predetermined percentage levels regardless of market volatility:
- Long SL = entryPrice × (1 - fixedRiskP - slipBuffer)
- Short SL = entryPrice × (1 + fixedRiskP + slipBuffer)
- Default: 0.6% risk + 0.3% slippage buffer = 0.9% total stop
- Consistent and predictable stop loss levels
- Recommended for users who prefer stable risk parameters
Adaptive Mode (Optional - useAdaptiveSL = true):
Dynamic system that adjusts stop loss based on market volatility:
- Base Calculation uses ATR (Average True Range)
- Long SL = entryPrice × (1 - (ATR × atrMultSL) / entryPrice - slipBuffer)
- Short SL = entryPrice × (1 + (ATR × atrMultSL) / entryPrice + slipBuffer)
- Automatically widens stops during high volatility periods
- Tightens stops during low volatility periods
- Advanced users can enable for volatility-adaptive risk management
Trend Multiplier Enhancement (Both Modes):
When strongUpTrend is detected for long positions, the stop loss receives 1.5x breathing room. Strong trends often have deeper retracements before continuing. This is designed to help avoid the strategy being shaken out of active trades by normal market noise.
Mode Selection Guidance:
- New Users: Start with Fixed Mode for predictable risk levels
- Experienced Users: Consider Adaptive Mode for volatility-responsive stops
- Volatile Markets: Adaptive Mode may provide better stop placement
- Stable Markets: Fixed Mode often sufficient for consistent risk management
Early Exit Conditions:
Beyond traditional stop losses, QRE implements "smart stops" that trigger before price-based stops:
Early Long Exit: (smartScoreLong < 1.0 OR prev5BearCandles) AND realROI < -0.9%
🔄 State Management: The Memory System
Complete State Reset Protocol:
When a position closes, QRE doesn't just wipe the slate clean – it performs a methodical reset:
TP State Cleanup:
All Boolean flags: tp1/tp2/tp3HitBefore → FALSE
All Reached flags: tp1/tp2/tp3Reached → FALSE
All Active flags: tp1/tp2/tp3HoldActive → FALSE
Signal Counter Reset:
Every one of the 22 signal counters returns to zero.
This is designed to avoid signal "ghosting" where old signals influence new trades.
Memory Preservation:
While operational states reset, certain information is preserved for learning:
killReasonLong/Short: Why did this trade end?
lastExitWasTP1/TP2/TP3: What was the exit quality?
reEntryCount: How many consecutive re-entries have occurred?
🔄 Re-Entry Logic: The Comeback System
Re-Entry Conditions Matrix:
QRE implements a re-entry system that recognizes not all exits are created equal:
TP-Based Re-Entry (Enabled):
Criteria: Previous exit was TP1, TP2, or TP3
Cooldown: Minimal or bypassed entirely
Logic: Target-based exits indicate potentially viable market conditions
EMA-Based Re-Entry (Conditional):
Criteria: Previous exit was EMA-based (structural change)
Requirements: Must wait for EMA confirmation in new direction
Minimum Wait: 5 candles
Advanced Re-Entry Features:
When adjustReEntryTargets is enabled, the strategy becomes more aggressive with re-entries:
Target Adjustment: TP1 multiplied by reEntryTP1Mult (default 2.0)
Stop Adjustment: SL multiplied by reEntrySLMult (default 1.5)
Logic: If we're confident enough to re-enter, we should be confident enough to hold for bigger moves
Performance Tracking: Strategy tracks re-entry win rate, average ROI, and total performance separately from initial entries for optimization analysis.
📊 Exit Reason Analytics: Learning from Every Trade
Kill Reason Tracking:
Every exit is categorized and stored:
"TP3 Exit–Wick Trap": Exit at target level with wick pattern detection
"Smart Exit–EMA Down": Structural breakdown exit
"Smart Exit–Volatility": Volatility-based protection exit
"Exit Post-TP1/TP2/TP3": Standard smart exit progression
"Long SL Exit" / "Short SL Exit": Stop loss exits
Performance Differentiation:
The strategy tracks performance by exit type, allowing for continuous analysis:
TP-based exits: Achieved target levels, analyze for pattern improvement
EMA-based exits: Mixed results, analyze for pattern improvement
SL-based exits: Learning opportunities, adjust entry criteria
Volatility exits: Protective measures, monitor performance
🎛️ Trailing Stop Implementation:
Conditional Trailing Activation:
Activation Criteria: Position profitable beyond trailingStartPct AND
(TP hold active OR re-entry trade)
Dynamic Trailing Logic:
Unlike simple trailing stops, QRE's implementation considers market context:
Trending Markets: Wider trail offsets to avoid whipsaws
Volatile Markets: Tighter offsets to protect gains
Re-Entry Trades: Enhanced trailing to maximize second-chance opportunities
Return-to-Entry Protection:
When deactivateOnReturn is enabled, the strategy will close positions that return to entry level after being profitable. This is designed to help avoid the frustration of watching profitable trades turn into losers.
🧠 How It All Works Together
The beauty of QRE lies not in any single component, but in how everything integrates:
The Entry Decision: Multiple pathways are designed to help identify opportunities while maintaining filtering standards.
The Progression System: Each TP level unlocks new protection features, like achieving ranks in a video game.
The Exit Matrix: Prioritized decision-making aims to reduce analysis paralysis while providing appropriate responses to different market conditions.
The Memory System: Learning from each trade while preventing contamination between separate opportunities.
The Re-Entry Logic: Re-entry system that balances opportunity with risk management.
This creates a trading system where entry conditions filter for quality, progression systems adapt to changing market conditions, exit priorities handle conflicting signals intelligently, memory systems learn from each trade cycle, and re-entry logic maximizes opportunities while managing risk exposure.

🎯 Advanced Smart Exit Debugging - ROI & Time-Based Threshold System
Understanding the Multi-Layer Threshold System:
Layer 1: Dynamic Threshold (ATR-Based)
atrRatio = ATR / close
dynamicThreshold = atrRatio > 0.02 ? 1.0 : // High volatility: Lower threshold
(atrRatio > 0.01 ? 1.5 : // Medium volatility: Standard
2.8) // Low volatility: Higher threshold
Layer 2: Time Multiplier (ROI & Duration-Based)
Winning Positions (ROI ≥ 0%):
→ timeMultiplier = 1.0 (No time pressure, regardless of hold duration)
Losing Positions (ROI < 0%):
→ holdTimer ≤ 8 bars: timeMultiplier = 1.0 (Early stage, standard requirements)
→ holdTimer 9-16 bars: timeMultiplier = 1.1 (10% stricter requirements)
→ holdTimer 17+ bars: timeMultiplier = 1.3 (30% stricter requirements)
Layer 3: Final Threshold Calculation
finalThreshold = dynamicThreshold × timeMultiplier
Examples:
- Winning Position: 2.8 × 1.0 = 2.8 (Always standard)
- Losing Position (Early): 2.8 × 1.0 = 2.8 (Same as winning initially)
- Losing Position (Extended): 2.8 × 1.3 = 3.64 (Much stricter)
Real-Time Debugging Display:
Smart Exit Section shows:
Score: 3.5 → Current smartScoreLong/Short value
Dynamic Threshold: 2.8 → Base ATR-calculated threshold
Final Threshold: 3.64 (ATR×1.3) → Actual threshold used for decisions
Score Check: FAIL (3.5 vs 3.64) → Pass/Fail based on final comparison
Final Hold: NO HOLD → Actual system decision
Position Status Indicators:
Winner + Early: ATR×1.0 (No pressure)
Winner + Extended: ATR×1.0 (No pressure - winners can run indefinitely)
Loser + Early: ATR×1.0 (Recovery opportunity)
Loser + Extended: ATR×1.1 or ATR×1.3 (Increasing pressure to exit)
MTF Section:
Data Source: Shows whether using MTF Data/EMA Backup/Local EMA
Timeframe: Configured watchtower timeframe setting
Data Valid: Confirms successful MTF data retrieval status
Trend Signal: Higher timeframe directional bias analysis
Close Price: MTF price data availability confirmation
"Composite" Filter:
Composite Section:
Buy Score: Real-time weighted scoring from multiple indicators
Sell Score: Opposing directional signal strength
Threshold: Minimum scores required for signal activation
Components:
Flash/Blink: Momentum acceleration indicators (F = Flash active, B = Blink active)
Individual filter contributions showing which specific signals are firing
"ReEntry" Filter:
ReEntry System:
System: Shows if re-entry feature is Enabled/Disabled
Eligibility: Conditions for new entries in each direction
Performance: Success metrics of re-entry attempts when enabled
🎯 Key Status Indicators
Status Column Symbols:
✓ = Condition met / System active / Signal valid
✗ = Condition not met / System inactive / No signal
⏳ = Cooldown active (waiting period)
✅ = Ready state / Good condition
🔄 = Processing / Transitioning state
🔍 Critical Reading Guidelines
For Active Positions - Smart Exit Priority Reading:
1. First Check Position Type:
ROI ≥ 0% = Winning Position (Standard requirements)
ROI < 0% = Losing Position (Progressive requirements)
2. Check Hold Duration:
Early Stage (≤8 bars): Standard multiplier regardless of ROI
Extended Stage (9-16 bars): Slight pressure on losing positions
Long Stage (17+ bars): Strong pressure on losing positions
3. Score vs Final Threshold Analysis:
Score ≥ Final Threshold = HOLD (Continue position)
Score < Final Threshold = EXIT (Close position)
Watch for timeMultiplier changes as position duration increases
4. Understanding "Why No Hold?"
Common scenarios when Score Check shows FAIL:
Losing position held too long (timeMultiplier increased to 1.1 or 1.3)
Low volatility period (dynamic threshold raised to 2.8)
Signal deterioration (smart score dropped below required level)
MTF conflict (higher timeframe opposing position direction)
For Entry Signal Analysis:
Composite Score Reading: Signal strength relative to threshold requirements
Component Analysis: Individual filter contributions to overall score
EMA Structure: Confirm 3-bar crossover requirement met
Cooldown Status: Ensure sufficient time passed since last exit
For ReEntry Opportunities (when enabled):
System Status: Availability and eligibility for re-engagement
Exit Type Analysis: TP-based exits enable immediate re-entry, SL-based exits require cooldown
Condition Monitoring: Requirements for potential re-entry signals
Debugging Common Issues:
Issue: "Score is high but no hold?"
→ Check Final Threshold vs Score (not Dynamic Threshold)
→ Losing position may have increased timeMultiplier
→ Extended hold duration applying pressure
Issue: "Why different thresholds for same score?"
→ Position ROI status affects multiplier
→ Time elapsed since entry affects multiplier
→ Market volatility affects base threshold
Issue: "MTF conflicts with local signals?"
→ Higher timeframe trend opposing position
→ System designed to exit on MTF conflicts
→ Check MTF Data Valid status

RISK MANAGEMENT
Dual ROI System: Adaptive vs Fixed Mode
Adaptive RR Mode:
Uses ATR (Average True Range) for automatic adjustment
TP1: 1.0x ATR from entry price
TP2: 1.5x ATR from entry price
TP3: 2.0x ATR from entry price
Stop Loss: 1.0x ATR from entry price
Automatically adjusts to market volatility
Fixed Percentage Mode:
Uses predetermined percentage levels
TP1: 1.0% (default)
TP2: 1.5% (default)
TP3: 2.5% (default)
Stop Loss: 0.9% total (0.6% risk tolerance + 0.3% slippage buffer)(default)
Consistent levels regardless of volatility
Mode Selection: Enable "Use Adaptive RR" for ATR-based targets, disable for fixed percentages. Adaptive mode works better in varying volatility conditions, while fixed mode provides predictable risk/reward ratios.
Stop Loss Management
In Adaptive SL Mode:
Automatically scales with market volatility
Tight stops during low volatility (smaller ATR)
Wider stops during high volatility (larger ATR)
Include 0.3% slippage buffer in both modes
In Fixed Mode:
Consistent percentage-based stops
2% for crypto, 1.5% for forex, 1% for stocks
Manual adjustment needed for different market conditions
Trailing Stop System
Configuration:
Enable Trailing: Activates dynamic stop loss adjustment
Start Trailing %: Profit level to begin trailing (default 1.0%)
Trailing Offset %: Distance from current price (default 0.5%)
Close if Return to Entry: Optional immediate exit if price returns to entry level
Operation: Once position reaches trailing start level, stop loss automatically adjusts upward (longs) or downward (shorts) maintaining the offset distance from favorable price movement.
Timeframe-Specific Risk Considerations
15-Minute and Above (Tested):
✅ Full MTF system active
✅ Standard risk parameters apply
✅ Backtested performance metrics valid
✅ Standard position sizing (5%)
5-Minute Timeframes (Advanced Only):
⚠️ MTF system inactive - local signals only
⚠️ Higher false signal rate expected
⚠️ Reduced position sizing preferred (3%)
⚠️ Tighter stop losses required (0.8% vs 1.2%)
⚠️ Requires parameter optimization
⚠️ Monitor performance closely
1-Minute Timeframes (Limited Testing):
❌ Excessive noise levels
❌ Strategy not optimized for this frequency
Risk Management Practices
Allocate no more than 5% of your total investment portfolio to high-risk trading
Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose
Thoroughly backtest and validate the strategy with small amounts before full implementation
Always maintain proper risk management and stop-loss settings

- **Weak KAMA Stop-Loss (weak_kama_long)**: In weak_long state, candlestick far from POC, and KAMA trend reverses.
- **Global Exit (exist_all)**: Volume RSI crosses below threshold (vol_under), or KAMA exit (kama_exit_long), or weak stop-loss, etc.
- **Special**: If in strong_long_hold (only_kama and KAMA remains bullish), ignore certain exit signals to hold the position.
#### **F. Short Exit Signals**
Similar to long exits.
- **KAMA Bullish Flip (exist_short)**: KAMA trend flips upward, or KAMA is upward with a long signal.
- **Reversal Signal**: Long signal present and KAMA is upward.
- **Weak Trend Stop-Loss (weak_stop_short)**: In weak_short state, candlestick near POC, and close crosses above short_state.current_max.
- **Weak KAMA Stop-Loss (weak_kama_short)**: In weak_short state, candlestick far from POC, and KAMA flips upward.
- **Global Exit (exist_all)**: Same as above.
LANZ Strategy 3.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 3.0 — Asian Range Fibonacci Scalping Strategy
LANZ Strategy 3.0 is a precision-engineered backtesting tool tailored for intraday traders who rely on the Asian session range to determine directional bias. This strategy implements dynamic Fibonacci projections and strict time-window validation to simulate a clean and disciplined trading environment.
🧠 Core Components:
Asian Range Bias Definition: Direction is established between 01:15–02:15 a.m. NY time based on the candle’s close in relation to the midpoint of the Asian session range (18:00–01:15 NY).
Limit Order Execution: Only one trade is placed daily, using a limit order at the Asian range high (for sells) or low (for buys), between 01:15–08:00 a.m. NY.
Fibonacci-Based TP/SL:
Original Mode: TP = 2.25x range, SL = 0.75x range.
Optimized Mode: TP = 1.95x range, SL = 0.65x range.
No Trade After 08:00 NY: If the limit order is not executed before 08:00 a.m. NY, it is canceled.
Fallback Logic at 02:15 NY: If the market direction misaligns with the setup at 02:15 a.m., the system re-evaluates and can re-issue the order.
End-of-Day Closure: All positions are closed at 15:45 NY if still open.
📊 Backtest-Ready Design:
Entries and exits are executed using strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() functions.
Position size is fixed via capital risk allocation ($100 per trade by default).
Only one position can be active at a time, ensuring controlled risk.
📝 Notes:
This strategy is ideal for assets sensitive to the Asian/London session overlap, such as Forex pairs and indices.
Easily switch between Fibonacci versions using a single dropdown input.
Fully deterministic: all entries are based on pre-defined conditions and time constraints.

Momentum + Keltner Stochastic Combo)The Momentum-Keltner-Stochastic Combination Strategy: A Technical Analysis and Empirical Validation
This study presents an advanced algorithmic trading strategy that implements a hybrid approach between momentum-based price dynamics and relative positioning within a volatility-adjusted Keltner Channel framework. The strategy utilizes an innovative "Keltner Stochastic" concept as its primary decision-making factor for market entries and exits, while implementing a dynamic capital allocation model with risk-based stop-loss mechanisms. Empirical testing demonstrates the strategy's potential for generating alpha in various market conditions through the combination of trend-following momentum principles and mean-reversion elements within defined volatility thresholds.
1. Introduction
Financial market trading increasingly relies on the integration of various technical indicators for identifying optimal trading opportunities (Lo et al., 2000). While individual indicators are often compromised by market noise, combinations of complementary approaches have shown superior performance in detecting significant market movements (Murphy, 1999; Kaufman, 2013). This research introduces a novel algorithmic strategy that synthesizes momentum principles with volatility-adjusted envelope analysis through Keltner Channels.
2. Theoretical Foundation
2.1 Momentum Component
The momentum component of the strategy builds upon the seminal work of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), who demonstrated that stocks which performed well (poorly) over a 3 to 12-month period continue to perform well (poorly) over subsequent months. As Moskowitz et al. (2012) further established, this time-series momentum effect persists across various asset classes and time frames. The present strategy implements a short-term momentum lookback period (7 bars) to identify the prevailing price direction, consistent with findings by Chan et al. (2000) that shorter-term momentum signals can be effective in algorithmic trading systems.
2.2 Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels, as formalized by Chester Keltner (1960) and later modified by Linda Bradford Raschke, represent a volatility-based envelope system that plots bands at a specified distance from a central exponential moving average (Keltner, 1960; Raschke & Connors, 1996). Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use standard deviation, Keltner Channels typically employ Average True Range (ATR) to establish the bands' distance from the central line, providing a smoother volatility measure as established by Wilder (1978).
2.3 Stochastic Oscillator Principles
The strategy incorporates a modified stochastic oscillator approach, conceptually similar to Lane's Stochastic (Lane, 1984), but applied to a price's position within Keltner Channels rather than standard price ranges. This creates what we term "Keltner Stochastic," measuring the relative position of price within the volatility-adjusted channel as a percentage value.
3. Strategy Methodology
3.1 Entry and Exit Conditions
The strategy employs a contrarian approach within the channel framework:
Long Entry Condition:
Close price > Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic < threshold (oversold within channel)
Short Entry Condition:
Close price < Close price periods ago (momentum filter)
KeltnerStochastic > threshold (overbought within channel)
Exit Conditions:
Exit long positions when KeltnerStochastic > threshold
Exit short positions when KeltnerStochastic < threshold
This methodology aligns with research by Brock et al. (1992) on the effectiveness of trading range breakouts with confirmation filters.
3.2 Risk Management
Stop-loss mechanisms are implemented using fixed price movements (1185 index points), providing definitive risk boundaries per trade. This approach is consistent with findings by Sweeney (1988) that fixed stop-loss systems can enhance risk-adjusted returns when properly calibrated.
3.3 Dynamic Position Sizing
The strategy implements an equity-based position sizing algorithm that increases or decreases contract size based on cumulative performance:
$ContractSize = \min(baseContracts + \lfloor\frac{\max(profitLoss, 0)}{equityStep}\rfloor - \lfloor\frac{|\min(profitLoss, 0)|}{equityStep}\rfloor, maxContracts)$
This adaptive approach follows modern portfolio theory principles (Markowitz, 1952) and Kelly criterion concepts (Kelly, 1956), scaling exposure proportionally to account equity.
4. Empirical Performance Analysis
Using historical data across multiple market regimes, the strategy demonstrates several key performance characteristics:
Enhanced performance during trending markets with moderate volatility
Reduced drawdowns during choppy market conditions through the dual-filter approach
Optimal performance when the threshold parameter is calibrated to market-specific characteristics (Pardo, 2008)
5. Strategy Limitations and Future Research
While effective in many market conditions, this strategy faces challenges during:
Rapid volatility expansion events where stop-loss mechanisms may be inadequate
Prolonged sideways markets with insufficient momentum
Markets with structural changes in volatility profiles
Future research should explore:
Adaptive threshold parameters based on regime detection
Integration with additional confirmatory indicators
Machine learning approaches to optimize parameter selection across different market environments (Cavalcante et al., 2016)

GRASS Purple Cloud [MMD] MTFThis Pine Script code is a trading strategy designed for use on the TradingView platform. It implements a multi-timeframe (MTF) strategy called "GRASS Purple Cloud " that utilizes various technical indicators to generate buy and sell signals. Below is a breakdown of the key components of the script:
Key Components of the Strategy
Inputs:
HTF (Higher Time Frame): Allows the user to select a higher time frame for analysis.
ATR and Supertrend Parameters: Inputs for the Average True Range (ATR) and Supertrend indicator, which are used to determine market volatility and trend direction.
Buying and Selling Pressure Thresholds: These thresholds help define conditions for entering trades based on buying and selling pressure.
Backtest Date Range: Users can specify a date range for backtesting the strategy.
HTF Logic:
The htfLogic function calculates various values based on the selected higher time frame, including buying and selling conditions, which are then used to generate signals.
Signal State Tracking:
The script tracks the state of buy and sell signals using a variable xs, which changes based on the conditions defined in the htfLogic function.
Coloring and Labels:
The bars on the chart are colored green for buy signals and red for sell signals. Additionally, labels are plotted to indicate strong buy and sell signals.
EMA Plotting:
The script includes optional plotting of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) for 20, 50, and 200 periods, which can help traders identify trends.
Trade Management:
The strategy includes parameters for take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels, allowing for risk management. The user can specify the percentage for TP and SL, as well as the number of units to sell at each level.
Entries and Exits:
The script defines conditions for entering long and short positions based on the buy and sell signals. It also manages exits based on TP and SL levels.
Trendline Logic:
The script identifies the last two significant highs to draw a trendline, which can help visualize market structure.
TP/SL Plotting:
The script plots the TP and SL levels on the chart for visual reference.
Reset After Exit:
After a trade is closed, the script resets the relevant variables to prepare for the next trade.
Usage
To use this strategy:
Adjust the input parameters as needed for your trading preferences.
Add the strategy to a chart to visualize the signals and performance.
Considerations
As with any trading strategy, it's essential to backtest and validate the performance over historical data before using it in live trading.
Market conditions can change, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use risk management practices when trading.
Gold Friday Anomaly StrategyThis script implements the " Gold Friday Anomaly Strategy ," a well-known historical trading strategy that leverages the gold market's behavior from Thursday evening to Friday close. It is a backtesting-focused strategy designed to assess the historical performance of this pattern. Traders use this anomaly as it captures a recurring market tendency observed over the years.
What It Does:
Entry Condition: The strategy enters a long position at the beginning of the Friday trading session (Thursday evening close) within the defined backtesting period.
Exit Condition: Friday evening close.
Backtesting Controls: Allows users to set custom backtesting periods to evaluate strategy performance over specific date ranges.
Key Features:
Custom Backtest Periods: Easily configurable inputs to set the start and end date of the backtesting range.
Fixed Slippage and Commission Settings: Ensures realistic simulation of trading conditions.
Process Orders on Close: Backtesting is optimized by processing orders at the bar's close.
Important Notes:
Backtesting Only: This script is intended purely for backtesting purposes. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Live Trading Recommendations: For live trading, it is highly recommended to use limit orders instead of market orders, especially during evening sessions, as market order slippage can be significant.
Default Settings:
Entry size: 10% of equity per trade.
Slippage: 1 tick.
Commission: 0.05% per trade.
ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.
Calculation and display of key price areas like Breaker Blocks, Rejection Blocks, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Equal Levels, and more.
The ability to set alerts based on these ICT strategies and key price areas.

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

The image above shows the ICT Master Suite calculating the high and low price for a user-defined timeframe. In this case the previous day’s high and low are calculated.
To illustrate the customizable timeframe function, the image above shows the indicator calculating the previous 4 hour high and low.
Liquidity Sweeps
The image above shows the indicator identifying a liquidity sweep prior to an upside breakout.
The image above shows the indicator identifying a liquidity sweep prior to a downside breakout.
The color and aggressiveness of liquidity sweep identification are adjustable in the settings!
Power Of Three
The image above shows the indicator calculating Po3 for two user-defined higher timeframes!
Macros
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite identifying the ICT macros!
ICT Macros are only displayable on the 5 minute timeframe or less.
Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!
