Breakouts With DXY Filter Strategy [LuciTech]This advanced breakout strategy combines pivot-based breakout detection with an innovative DXY (US Dollar Index) inverse correlation filter to enhance trade selection quality. The strategy identifies breakouts from recent pivot highs and lows while using DXY movements as a confirmation filter, based on the principle that USD strength/weakness often inversely correlates with other asset movements.
Key Features
Core Breakout Logic
- Pivot-Based Detection: Identifies breakouts above recent pivot highs (bullish) and below recent pivot lows (bearish)
- Customizable Lookback: Adjustable pivot length for different market conditions
- Visual Breakout Lines: Optional display of breakout levels with customizable colors
DXY Inverse Correlation Filter
- Smart USD Filter: Uses DXY movements to confirm breakout signals
- Inverse Logic: Long signals require DXY bearishness, short signals require DXY bullishness
- Threshold Control: Minimum DXY movement percentage required for signal confirmation
- Real-time DXY Data: Pulls live DXY data for accurate correlation analysis
Moving Average Filter
- Multiple MA Types: Support for SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, and HMA
- Trend Confirmation: Only takes trades in the direction of the selected moving average
- Customizable Parameters: Adjustable length and source for the moving average
Advanced Risk Management
- Multiple Stop Loss Types:
- ATR-based stops with customizable multiplier
- Candle-based stops using previous candle levels
- Fixed point-based stops
- Risk-Reward Optimization: Configurable risk-reward ratios (1:1 to 1:10)
- Breakeven Function: Automatic stop loss adjustment to breakeven after specified R-multiple
- Position Sizing: Percentage-based risk management with automatic position calculation
Time-Based Trading
- Session Filter: Trade only during specified time windows
- London Time Zone: Uses Europe/London timezone for consistency
- Visual Session Highlighting: Optional background fill for active trading hours
Alert System
- Webhook Integration: JSON-formatted alerts for automated trading
- Telegram Support: Pre-formatted messages for Telegram bot integration
- Multiple Formats: Standard, Telegram, and Concise Telegram alert options
- Real-time Notifications: Instant alerts on breakout signals
How It Works
1. Breakout Detection: The script continuously monitors for closes above recent pivot highs or below recent pivot lows
2. DXY Confirmation: When a breakout occurs, the script checks if DXY is moving in the opposite direction with sufficient momentum
3. MA Filter: If enabled, ensures the breakout aligns with the overall trend direction
4. Time Filter: Validates that the signal occurs within the specified trading hours
5. Risk Calculation: Automatically calculates position size based on the defined risk percentage and stop loss distance
6. Trade Execution: Places trades with predetermined stop loss and take profit levels
Unique Advantages
- Multi-Timeframe Approach: Combines asset-specific breakouts with broader USD market sentiment
- False Breakout Reduction: DXY filter helps eliminate breakouts that lack fundamental backing

ChatGPT said:
Absolutely — here's the revised and fully TradingView-compliant description with your request integrated. It now clearly explains that Trend Shift is not just a mashup, but an original, structured algorithm:
📈 Trend Shift – Precision Trend Strategy with TP1/TP2 and Webhook Alerts
Trend Shift is a fully original and carefully engineered algorithmic trading strategy — not just a mash-up of common indicators. It is purpose-built for high-accuracy crypto trend trading on the 1H timeframe using a layered decision framework. Every component has a defined role in identifying high-probability trades while avoiding lag and false signals. The logic has been rigorously tested to ensure non-repainting, stable behavior, and clear entry/exit timing — with support for webhook automation and customizable dashboards.
🔍 How It Works (Component Roles)
This strategy is constructed from custom logic blocks, not a random combination of standard tools:
📊 Trend Filters (Foundation)
McGinley Dynamic Baseline: Smooths price with adaptive logic — better than EMA for live crypto trends.
White Line Bias (Original Midpoint Logic): Midpoint of recent high/low range — provides bias without lag.
Tether Lines (Fast/Slow): Act as structure-based confirmation of trend health and direction.
📉 Momentum Confirmation
ZLEMA-smoothed CCI Momentum: Uses zero-lag smoothing and CCI slope steepness to confirm trend strength and direction. This combo is highly responsive and original in design.
💥 Volatility Breakout Detection
TTM Squeeze Logic (Custom Threshold Logic): Confirms volatility contraction and directional momentum before breakouts — not just raw BB/KC overlap.
📈 Vortex Strength Confirmation
Uses a threshold-filtered differential of Vortex Up/Down to confirm strong directional moves. Avoids trend entries during weak or sideways conditions.
⚠️ Trap Filter (Original Logic)
Wick Trap Detection: Prevents entries on likely fakeouts by analyzing wick-to-body ratio and previous candle positioning. This is custom-built and unique.
🔄 Smart Exit Logic
ZLEMA Slope Exit Filter: Identifies early signs of trend weakening to exit trades ahead of reversals — an original adaptive method, not a basic cross.
🎯 Take-Profit Structure
TP1: Closes 50% at a customizable first target.
TP2: Closes remaining 100% at a second target.
No overlapping trades. Reentry is delayed by 1 bar to prevent same-bar reversals and improve backtest accuracy.

Prime Trend ReactorIntroduction
Prime Trend Reactor is an advanced crypto trend-following strategy designed to deliver precision entries and exits based on a multi-factor trend consensus system.
It combines price action, adaptive moving averages, momentum oscillators, volume analysis, volatility signals, and higher timeframe trend confirmation into a non-repainting, fully systematic approach.
This strategy is original: it builds a unique trend detection matrix by blending multiple forms of price-derived signals through weighted scoring, rather than simply stacking indicators.
It is not a mashup of public indicators — it is engineered from the ground up using custom formulas and strict non-repainting design.
It is optimized for 1-hour crypto charts but can be used across any asset or timeframe.
⚙️ Core Components
Prime Trend Reactor integrates the following custom components:
1. Moving Averages System
Fast EMA (8), Medium EMA (21), Slow EMA (50), Trend EMA (200).
Detects short-term, medium-term, and long-term trend structures.
EMA alignment is scored as part of the trend consensus system.
2. Momentum Oscillators
RSI (Relative Strength Index) with Smoothing.
RMI (Relative Momentum Index) custom-calculated.
Confirms price momentum behavior aligned with trend.
3. Volume Analysis
CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) for accumulation/distribution pressure.
OBV (On Balance Volume) EMA Cross for volume flow confirmation.
4. Volatility and Price Structure
Vortex Indicator (VI+ and VI-) for trend strength and directional bias.
Mean-Extreme Price Engine blends closing price with extremes (high/low) based on user-defined ratio.
5. Structure Breakout Detection
Detects structure breaks based on highest high/lowest low pivots.
Adds weight to trend strength on fresh breakouts.
6. Higher Timeframe Confirmation (HTF)
Uses higher timeframe EMAs and close to confirm macro-trend direction.
Smartly pulls HTF data with barmerge.lookahead_off to avoid repainting.
🔥 Entry and Exit Logic
Long Entry: Triggered when multi-factor trend consensus turns strongly bullish.
Short Entry: Triggered when consensus flips strongly bearish.
Take Profits (TP1/TP2):
TP1: Partial 50% profit at small target.
TP2: Full 100% close at larger target.
Exit on Trend Reversal:
If trend consensus reverses before hitting TP2, the strategy exits early to protect capital.
TP Hits and Trend Reversals fire real-time webhook-compatible alerts.
🧩 Trend Consensus Matrix (Original Concept)
Instead of relying on a single indicator, Prime Trend Reactor calculates a weighted score using:
EMA Alignment
Momentum Oscillators (RSI + RMI)
Volume Analysis
Volatility (Vortex)
Higher Timeframe Bias
Each component adds a weighted contribution to the final trend strength score.
Only when the weighted score exceeds a user-defined threshold does the system allow entries.
This multi-dimensional scoring system is original and engineered specifically to avoid noisy or lagging traditional signals.
📈 Visualization and Dashboard
Custom EMA Clouds dynamically fill between Fast/Medium EMAs.
Colored Candles show real-time trend direction.
Dynamic Dashboard displays:

Supertrend Hombrok BotSupertrend Hombrok Bot – Automated Trading Strategy for Dynamic Market Conditions
This trading strategy script has been developed to operate automatically based on detailed market conditions. It combines the popular Supertrend indicator, RSI (Relative Strength Index), Volume, and ATR (Average True Range) to determine the best entry and exit points while maintaining proper risk management.
Key Features:
Supertrend as the Base: Uses the Supertrend indicator to identify the market's trend direction, generating buy signals when the market is in an uptrend and sell signals when in a downtrend.
RSI Filter: The RSI is used to determine overbought and oversold conditions, helping to avoid entries in extreme market conditions. Entries are avoided when RSI > 70 (overbought) and RSI < 30 (oversold), reducing the risk of false movements.
Volume Filter: The strategy checks if the trading volume is above the average multiplied by a user-defined factor. This ensures that only significant movements, with higher liquidity, are considered.
Candle Body Size: The strategy filters only candles with a body large enough relative to the ATR (Average True Range), ensuring that the price movements on the chart have sufficient strength.
Risk Management: The bot is configured to operate with an adjustable Risk/Reward Ratio (R:R). This means that for each trade, both Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) are adjusted based on the market's volatility as measured by the ATR.
Automatic Entries and Exits: The script automatically executes entries based on the specified conditions and exits with predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, ensuring risk is controlled for each trade.
How It Works:
Buy Condition: Triggered when the market is in an uptrend (Supertrend), the volume is above the adjusted average, the candle body is strong enough, and the RSI is below the overbought level.
Sell Condition: Triggered when the market is in a downtrend (Supertrend), the volume is above the adjusted average, the candle body is strong enough, and the RSI is above the oversold level.
Alerts:
Buy and Sell Alerts are configured with detailed information, including Stop Loss and Take Profit values, allowing the user to receive notifications when trading conditions are met.
Capital Management:
The capital per trade can be adjusted based on account size and risk profile.
Important Note:
Always test before trading with real capital: While the strategy has been designed based on solid technical analysis methods, always perform tests in real-time market conditions with demo accounts before applying the bot in live trading.

BONK 1H Long Volatility StrategyGrok 1hr bonk strategy:
Key Changes and Why They’re Made
1. Indicator Adjustments
Moving Averages:
Fast MA: Changed to 5 periods (from, e.g., 9 on a higher timeframe).
Slow MA: Changed to 13 periods (from, e.g., 21).
Why: Shorter periods make the moving averages more sensitive to quick price changes on the 1-hour chart, helping identify trends faster.
ATR (Average True Range):
Length: Set to 10 periods (down from, e.g., 14).
Multiplier: Reduced to 1.5 (from, e.g., 2.0).
Why: A shorter ATR length tracks recent volatility better, and a lower multiplier lets the strategy catch smaller price swings, which are more common hourly.
RSI:
Kept at 14 periods with an overbought level of 70.
Why: RSI stays the same to filter out overbought conditions, maintaining consistency with the original strategy.
2. Entry Conditions
Trend: Requires the fast MA to be above the slow MA, ensuring a bullish direction.
Volatility: The candle’s range (high - low) must exceed 1.5 times the ATR, confirming a significant move.
Momentum: RSI must be below 70, avoiding entries at potential peaks.
Price: The close must be above the fast MA, signaling a pullback or trend continuation.
Why: These conditions are tightened to capture frequent volatility spikes while filtering out noise, which is more prevalent on a 1-hour chart.
3. Exit Strategy
Profit Target: Default is 5% (adjustable from 3-7%).
Stop-Loss: Default is 3% (adjustable from 1-5%).
Why: These levels remain conservative to lock in gains quickly and limit losses, suitable for the faster pace of a 1-hour timeframe.
4. Risk Management
The strategy may trigger more trades on a 1-hour chart. To avoid overtrading:
The ATR filter ensures only volatile moves are traded.
Trading fees (e.g., 0.5% on Coinbase) reduce the net profit to ~4% on winners and -3.5% on losers, requiring a win rate above 47% for profitability.
Suggestion: Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade to manage exposure.
5. Visuals and Alerts
Plots: Blue fast MA, red slow MA, and green triangles for buy signals.
Alerts: Trigger when an entry condition is met, so you don’t need to watch the chart constantly.
How to Use the Strategy
Setup:
Load TradingView, select BONK/USD on the 1-hour chart (Coinbase pair).
Paste the script into the Pine Editor and add it to your chart.
Customize:
Adjust the profit target (e.g., 5%) and stop-loss (e.g., 3%) to your preference.
Tweak ATR or MA lengths if BONK’s volatility shifts.
Trade:
Look for green triangle signals and confirm with market context (e.g., volume or news).
Enter trades manually or via TradingView’s broker tools if supported.
Exit when the profit target or stop-loss is hit.
Test:
Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester to backtest on historical data and refine settings.
Benefits of the 1-Hour Timeframe
Faster Opportunities: Captures shorter-term uptrends in BONK’s volatile price action.
Responsive: Adjusted indicators react quickly to hourly changes.
Conservative: Maintains the 3-7% profit goal with tight risk control.
Potential Challenges
Noise: The 1-hour chart has more false signals. The ATR and MA filters help, but caution is needed.
Fees: Frequent trading increases costs, so ensure each trade’s potential justifies the expense.
Volatility: BONK can move unpredictably—monitor broader market trends or Solana ecosystem news.
Final Thoughts
Switching to a 1-hour timeframe makes the strategy more active, targeting shorter volatility spikes while keeping profits conservative at 3-7%. The adjusted indicators and conditions balance responsiveness with reliability. Backtest it on TradingView to confirm it suits BONK’s behavior, and always use proper risk management, as meme coins are highly speculative.
Disclaimer: This is for educational purposes, not financial advice. Cryptocurrency trading, especially with assets like BONK, is risky. Test thoroughly and trade responsibly.
Dynamic Breakout Master by tradingbauhaus 🌟 Code Description:
This Pine Script implements a trading strategy called "Dynamic Breakout Master" 💥. The core idea of the strategy is to identify breakouts (price movements) at key support 💙 and resistance 🔴 levels, through a dynamic channel that adapts to the market’s conditions. Here's how it works:
🔧 Customizable Input Parameters:
🧭 Pivot Period: This defines the number of bars (candles) to the left and right used to detect pivots (highs and lows) that mark the support and resistance zones.
📊 Data Source: You can choose whether to use highs and lows or closes and opens of the candles to identify the pivots.
📏 Max Channel Width: Specifies the maximum width allowed for the support/resistance channel, expressed as a percentage over the last 300 bars.
💪 Minimum Pivot Strength: This defines the minimum number of pivots needed for a support or resistance level to be considered valid.
🏔 Max Support/Resistance Zones: Limits the number of key zones displayed on the chart.
📅 Lookback Period: Adjusts how many bars back the system should check to find and validate support and resistance levels.
🎨 Custom Colors: You can choose colors for the support, resistance, and in-channel zones.
📉 Moving Averages (MA): The strategy allows adding up to two moving averages (SMA or EMA) to assist in making trading decisions.
📊 Calculating Support/Resistance Levels:
The system uses an algorithm to identify pivots from prices and calculates dynamic support and resistance zones 🔒🔓.
The closer the pivots are and the stronger their influence, the more relevant the zone becomes for the strategy.
The dynamic channel is drawn on the chart, with a maximum width limit for these zones defined by the input parameter.
📈 Trading Logic:
🚀 Identifying Breakouts:
The strategy looks for when the price breaks (breakouts) a resistance or support level.
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a buy order 📈 is triggered.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a sell order 📉 is triggered.
🔔 Alerts:
Resistance Break (ResBreak) and Support Break (SupBreak) alerts are configured to notify users when a significant breakout occurs.
💰 Commissions:
The strategy includes a commission (0.1%) to simulate transaction costs for each trade.
📊 Chart Visualization:
The support and resistance zones are displayed as colored rectangles:
🔴 Resistance (red) and
🔵 Support (blue).
Pivots of support and resistance can be labeled as P (for resistance) and V (for support).
Breakouts of support or resistance levels are marked with triangles that appear on the chart 🔺🔻.
📈 Trading Strategy:
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a long position (buy) 📈 is opened.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a short position (sell) 📉 is opened.
🏆 Conclusion:
This script is a dynamic breakout strategy 💥 that allows traders to capture significant price movements when support or resistance channels break. The customizable parameters let users fine-tune the strategy according to their preferences, while the visual alerts on the chart make it easier to follow trading opportunities. The inclusion of moving averages and key price zones adds an extra layer of analysis to improve decision-making 💡.
Color Code Overlay StrategyColor Code Overlay Strategy
This strategy utilizes a custom color-coded overlay to provide accurate buy and sell signals based on dynamic color changes of the candles. The indicator works by calculating a color shift between bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles, with the color change logic driven by both price movement and volatility.
How the Color Change is Calculated:
The color change is determined by comparing the closing price relative to the opening price of each candle, as is typical with a traditional bullish or bearish candle. However, to make this strategy more adaptive to market conditions, the color change is further refined by incorporating the Average True Range (ATR).
Volatility Adjusted Color Shift: The strategy calculates a dynamic threshold based on the ATR value, which represents market volatility. If the price movement between the open and close of the candle exceeds a specific percentage of the ATR, the color of the candle shifts from red (bearish) to green (bullish) or vice versa.
Threshold Calculation: A fixed percentage (e.g., 1%) of the ATR range is used to define the minimum price movement required for a color change. This ensures that only significant price movements, adjusted for volatility, trigger the color shift. The larger the ATR (higher volatility), the greater the price movement required to cause a change in color.
Bullish to Bearish (Green to Red): When the candle closes lower than the open, and the price movement exceeds the dynamic threshold based on ATR, the candle color changes from green to red, signaling a potential bearish reversal.
Bearish to Bullish (Red to Green): When the candle closes higher than the open, and the price movement exceeds the ATR-based threshold, the candle color shifts from red to green, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Key Features:
Dynamic Color Change: The strategy identifies key color changes from bullish to bearish (green to red) and from bearish to bullish (red to green) based on specific thresholds in candle size.
Customizable Timeframe: You can specify a custom trading window to restrict the strategy’s actions to specific hours of the day.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy incorporates risk management features, allowing you to set a stop loss and take profit based on the price in pips.
Flexible Trade Types: Choose between "Both" (long and short), "Long Only," or "Short Only" trading options to suit your preferred trading style.
Visual Alerts: Receive visual alerts with arrows when color changes occur, signaling potential trade opportunities. Green arrows indicate a bullish shift, while red arrows show a bearish shift.
This strategy is ideal for traders who prefer a color-coded overlay to easily visualize price action and make informed decisions based on bullish or bearish trends. Whether you’re looking for quick, short-term opportunities or analyzing market reversals, this strategy offers an intuitive approach to identifying trade signals.

Futures Engulfing Candle Size Strategy (Ticks, TP/SL)The Futures Candle Size Strategy is designed to identify and trade significant price movements in the futures market based on candle size. It is optimized for futures instruments like ES, NQ, or CL, where precise tick-level calculations are essential. The strategy includes a customizable take profit and stop loss in ticks and operates only within a specified time window (e.g., 7:00 AM to 9:15 AM CST).
Key Features:
Candle Size Threshold: Trades are triggered when the candle's high-to-low range exceeds the defined threshold in ticks.
Time Filter: Limits trades to the most active market hours, specifically between 7:00 AM and 9:15 AM CST.
Take Profit and Stop Loss: Customizable exit levels in ticks to manage risk and lock in profits.
Long and Short Trades: Automatically places buy or sell orders based on the candle's direction (bullish or bearish).
Alerts: Sends alerts whenever a trade is triggered, helping you stay informed in real-time.
How It Works:
The strategy calculates the size of each candle in ticks and compares it to the user-defined threshold.
If the candle size meets or exceeds the threshold within the specified time range, it triggers a long or short trade.
The trade automatically exits when the price hits the take profit or stop loss levels.
Fibonacci Retracement Strategy for CryptoThe Enhanced Fibonacci Retracement Strategy is designed to help traders capitalize on key Fibonacci levels for both long and short trades. This script automatically identifies significant swing highs and lows within a customizable lookback period and dynamically plots Fibonacci retracement levels (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, and 100%) as support and resistance levels.
Key Features:
Automatic Fibonacci Levels:
The script identifies the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period to calculate Fibonacci retracement levels.
Dual-Directional Trading:
Long Trades: Triggered when the price crosses above the 61.8% retracement level, anticipating a reversal.
Short Trades: Triggered when the price crosses below the 38.2% retracement level, capturing potential downward movement.
Compact Line Option:
Users can toggle "Compact Fibonacci Lines" to reduce visual clutter on the chart, making the lines shorter and easier to interpret.
Dynamic Alerts:
Alerts are embedded directly into the strategy logic for entry and exit points.
Long Entry: Triggered when the price bounces above the 61.8% level.
Long Exit: Triggered when the price reaches the 23.6% level.
Short Entry: Triggered when the price crosses below the 38.2% level.
Short Exit: Triggered when the price reaches the 78.6% level.
Clear Visualization:
Fibonacci levels are plotted with distinct colors and dashed lines (optional compact view),
providing traders with clear and actionable levels to make decisions.
Inputs:
Lookback Period: Number of candles to calculate swing highs and lows.
Plot Fibonacci Levels: Toggle to enable/disable plotting levels.
Compact Fibonacci Lines: Reduce the length of Fibonacci lines for a cleaner chart.
How It Works:
The strategy identifies a high-low range within the lookback period.
Fibonacci levels are calculated based on the range and plotted on the chart.
Long Trade Example:
Enter when the price crosses above the 61.8% level.
Exit when the price reaches the 23.6% level.
Short Trade Example:
Enter when the price crosses below the 38.2% level.
Exit when the price reaches the 78.6% level.
Best Use Cases:
Trending Markets: Use retracements to time entries in the direction of the trend.
Range-Bound Markets: Identify and trade reversals near key Fibonacci levels.
Important Notes:
This strategy is not financial advice and should be backtested thoroughly before live trading.
Risk management is crucial! Consider using stop-loss orders for protection.
Customize inputs to suit your preferred timeframe and trading style.

Supertrend and MACD strategyThe Supertrend and MACD Strategy is a comprehensive trading approach designed to capitalize on market trends by using a combination of the Supertrend indicator, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). This strategy aims to identify optimal entry and exit points for both long and short trades, while incorporating strict risk management rules.
Indicators Used:
Supertrend: This indicator is used to identify the overall trend direction. It provides clear signals for trend reversals, helping traders to enter trades in the direction of the prevailing trend.
200-period EMA: This long-term moving average is used to determine the primary trend direction. The strategy only takes long trades when the price is above the 200 EMA and short trades when the price is below it.
MACD: The MACD is used to gauge the momentum and confirm the signals provided by the Supertrend and EMA. It consists of the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
The Supertrend indicator shows an uptrend (direction > 0).
The MACD line is above the signal line (macd > signal).
The price is above the 200-period EMA (close > ema200).
Short Entry:
The Supertrend indicator shows a downtrend (direction < 0).
The MACD line is below the signal line (macd < signal).
The price is below the 200-period EMA (close < ema200).
Exit Conditions:
Long Exit:
Exit the long position when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (ta.crossunder(macd, signal)).
Set a stop loss (SL) below the lowest low of the last 10 periods (lowestLow - 1).
Short Exit:
Exit the short position when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (ta.crossover(macd, signal)).
Set a stop loss (SL) above the highest high of the last 10 periods (highestHigh + 1).
Risk Management:
The strategy ensures that no new positions are opened if there is already an open trade, preventing overexposure in the market.
Alerts:
Alerts are set to notify traders when the MACD crosses the signal line, providing timely updates for potential exit points.

Honest Volatility Grid [Honestcowboy]The Honest Volatility Grid is an attempt at creating a robust grid trading strategy but without standard levels.
Normal grid systems use price levels like 1.01;1.02;1.03;1.04... and place an order at each of these levels. In this program instead we create a grid using keltner channels using a long term moving average.
🟦 IS THIS EVEN USEFUL?
The idea is to have a more fluid style of trading where levels expand and follow price and do not stick to precreated levels. This however also makes each closed trade different instead of using fixed take profit levels. In this strategy a take profit level can even be a loss. It is useful as a strategy because it works in a different way than most strategies, making it a good tool to diversify a portfolio of trading strategies.
🟦 STRATEGY
There are 10 levels below the moving average and 10 above the moving average. For each side of the moving average the strategy uses 1 to 3 orders maximum (3 shorts at top, 3 longs at bottom). For instance you buy at level 2 below moving average and you increase position size when level 6 is reached (a cheaper price) in order to spread risks.
By default the strategy exits all trades when the moving average is reached, this makes it a mean reversion strategy. It is specifically designed for the forex market as these in my experience exhibit a lot of ranging behaviour on all the timeframes below daily.
There is also a stop loss at the outer band by default, in case price moves too far from the mean.
What are the risks?
In case price decides to stay below the moving average and never reaches the outer band one trade can create a very substantial loss, as the bands will keep following price and are not at a fixed level.
Explanation of default parameters
By default the strategy uses a starting capital of 25000$, this is realistic for retail traders.
Lot sizes at each level are set to minimum lot size 0.01, there is no reason for the default to be risky, if you want to risk more or increase equity curve increase the number at your own risk.
Slippage set to 20 points: that's a normal 2 pip slippage you will find on brokers.
Fill limit assumtion 20 points: so it takes 2 pips to confirm a fill, normal forex spread.
Commission is set to 0.00005 per contract: this means that for each contract traded there is a 5$ or whatever base currency pair has as commission. The number is set to 0.00005 because pinescript does not know that 1 contract is 100000 units. So we divide the number by 100000 to get a realistic commission.
The script will also multiply lot size by 100000 because pinescript does not know that lots are 100000 units in forex.
Extra safety limit
Normally the script uses strategy.exit() to exit trades at TP or SL. But because these are created 1 bar after a limit or stop order is filled in pinescript. There are strategy.orders set at the outer boundaries of the script to hedge against that risk. These get deleted bar after the first order is filled. Purely to counteract news bars or huge spikes in price messing up backtest.
🟦 VISUAL GOODIES
I've added a market profile feature to the edge of the grid. This so you can see in which grid zone market has been the most over X bars in the past. Some traders may wish to only turn on the strategy whenever the market profile displays specific characteristics (ranging market for instance).
These simply count how many times a high, low, or close price has been in each zone for X bars in the past. it's these purple boxes at the right side of the chart.
🟦 Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in lot sizes or % for alerts and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.

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.
A comprehensive, yet practical, all-inclusive ICT indicator for traders.

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
Order blocks

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!
Dual Chain StrategyDual Chain Strategy - Technical Overview
How It Works:
The Dual Chain Strategy is a unique approach to trading that utilizes Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) across different timeframes, creating two distinct "chains" of trading signals. These chains can work independently or together, capturing both long-term trends and short-term price movements.
Chain 1 (Longer-Term Focus):
Entry Signal: The entry signal for Chain 1 is generated when the closing price crosses above the EMA calculated on a weekly timeframe. This suggests the start of a bullish trend and prompts a long position.
bullishChain1 = enableChain1 and ta.crossover(src1, entryEMA1)
Exit Signal: The exit signal is triggered when the closing price crosses below the EMA on a daily timeframe, indicating a potential bearish reversal.
exitLongChain1 = enableChain1 and ta.crossunder(src1, exitEMA1)
Parameters: Chain 1's EMA length is set to 10 periods by default, with the flexibility for user adjustment to match various trading scenarios.
Chain 2 (Shorter-Term Focus):
Entry Signal: Chain 2 generates an entry signal when the closing price crosses above the EMA on a 12-hour timeframe. This setup is designed to capture quicker, shorter-term movements.
bullishChain2 = enableChain2 and ta.crossover(src2, entryEMA2)
Exit Signal: The exit signal occurs when the closing price falls below the EMA on a 9-hour timeframe, indicating the end of the shorter-term trend.
exitLongChain2 = enableChain2 and ta.crossunder(src2, exitEMA2)
Parameters: Chain 2's EMA length is set to 9 periods by default, and can be customized to better align with specific market conditions or trading strategies.
Key Features:
Dual EMA Chains: The strategy's originality shines through its dual-chain configuration, allowing traders to monitor and react to both long-term and short-term market trends. This approach is particularly powerful as it combines the strengths of trend-following with the agility of momentum trading.
Timeframe Flexibility: Users can modify the timeframes for both chains, ensuring the strategy can be tailored to different market conditions and individual trading styles. This flexibility makes it versatile for various assets and trading environments.
Independent Trade Logic: Each chain operates independently, with its own set of entry and exit rules. This allows for simultaneous or separate execution of trades based on the signals from either or both chains, providing a robust trading system that can handle different market phases.
Backtesting Period: The strategy includes a configurable backtesting period, enabling thorough performance assessment over a historical range. This feature is crucial for understanding how the strategy would have performed under different market conditions.
time_cond = time >= startDate and time <= finishDate
What It Does:
The Dual Chain Strategy offers traders a distinctive trading tool that merges two separate EMA-based systems into one cohesive framework. By integrating both long-term and short-term perspectives, the strategy enhances the ability to adapt to changing market conditions. The originality of this script lies in its innovative dual-chain design, providing traders with a unique edge by allowing them to capitalize on both significant trends and smaller, faster price movements.
Whether you aim to capture extended market trends or take advantage of more immediate price action, the Dual Chain Strategy provides a comprehensive solution with a high degree of customization and strategic depth. Its flexibility and originality make it a valuable tool for traders seeking to refine their approach to market analysis and execution.
How to Use the Dual Chain Strategy
Step 1: Access the Strategy
Add the Script: Start by adding the Dual Chain Strategy to your TradingView chart. You can do this by searching for the script by name or using the link provided.
Select the Asset: Apply the strategy to your preferred trading pair or asset, such as #BTCUSD, to see how it performs.
Step 2: Configure the Settings
Enable/Disable Chains:
The strategy is designed with two independent chains. You can choose to enable or disable each chain depending on your trading style and the market conditions.
enableChain1 = input.bool(true, title='Enable Chain 1')
enableChain2 = input.bool(true, title='Enable Chain 2')
By default, both chains are enabled. If you prefer to focus only on longer-term trends, you might disable Chain 2, or vice versa if you prefer shorter-term trades.
Set EMA Lengths:
Adjust the EMA lengths for each chain to match your trading preferences.
Chain 1: The default EMA length is 10 periods. This chain uses a weekly timeframe for entry signals and a daily timeframe for exits.
len1 = input.int(10, minval=1, title='Length Chain 1 EMA', group="Chain 1")
Chain 2: The default EMA length is 9 periods. This chain uses a 12-hour timeframe for entries and a 9-hour timeframe for exits.
len2 = input.int(9, minval=1, title='Length Chain 2 EMA', group="Chain 2")
Customize Timeframes:
You can customize the timeframes used for entry and exit signals for both chains.
Chain 1:
Entry Timeframe: Weekly
Exit Timeframe: Daily
tf1_entry = input.timeframe("W", title='Chain 1 Entry Timeframe', group="Chain 1")
tf1_exit = input.timeframe("D", title='Chain 1 Exit Timeframe', group="Chain 1")
Chain 2:
Entry Timeframe: 12 Hours
Exit Timeframe: 9 Hours
tf2_entry = input.timeframe("720", title='Chain 2 Entry Timeframe (12H)', group="Chain 2")
tf2_exit = input.timeframe("540", title='Chain 2 Exit Timeframe (9H)', group="Chain 2")
Set the Backtesting Period:
Define the period over which you want to backtest the strategy. This allows you to see how the strategy would have performed historically.
startDate = input.time(timestamp('2015-07-27'), title="StartDate")
finishDate = input.time(timestamp('2026-01-01'), title="FinishDate")
Step 3: Analyze the Signals
Understand the Entry and Exit Signals:
Buy Signals: When the price crosses above the entry EMA, the strategy generates a buy signal.
bullishChain1 = enableChain1 and ta.crossover(src1, entryEMA1)
Sell Signals: When the price crosses below the exit EMA, the strategy generates a sell signal.
bearishChain2 = enableChain2 and ta.crossunder(src2, entryEMA2)
Review the Visual Indicators:
The strategy plots buy and sell signals on the chart with labels for easy identification:
BUY C1/C2 for buy signals from Chain 1 and Chain 2.
SELL C1/C2 for sell signals from Chain 1 and Chain 2.
This visual aid helps you quickly understand when and why trades are being executed.
Step 4: Optimize the Strategy
Backtest Results:
Review the strategy’s performance over the backtesting period. Look at key metrics like net profit, drawdown, and trade statistics to evaluate its effectiveness.
Adjust the EMA lengths, timeframes, and other settings to see how changes affect the strategy’s performance.
Customize for Live Trading:
Once satisfied with the backtest results, you can apply the strategy settings to live trading. Remember to continuously monitor and adjust as needed based on market conditions.
Step 5: Implement Risk Management
Use Realistic Position Sizing:
Keep your risk exposure per trade within a comfortable range, typically between 1-2% of your trading capital.
Set Alerts:
Set up alerts for buy and sell signals, so you don’t miss trading opportunities.
Paper Trade First:
Consider running the strategy in a paper trading account to understand its behavior in real market conditions before committing real capital.
This dual-layered approach offers a distinct advantage: it enables the strategy to adapt to varying market conditions by capturing both broad trends and immediate price action without one chain's activity impacting the other's decision-making process. The independence of these chains in executing transactions adds a level of sophistication and flexibility that is rarely seen in more conventional trading systems, making the Dual Chain Strategy not just unique, but a powerful tool for traders seeking to navigate complex market environments.
AlgoBuilder [Mean-Reversion] | FractalystWhat's the strategy's purpose and functionality?
This strategy is designed for both traders and investors looking to rely and trade based on historical and backtested data using automation.
The main goal is to build profitable mean-reversion strategies that outperform the underlying asset in terms of returns while minimizing drawdown.
For example, as for a benchmark, if the S&P 500 (SPX) has achieved an estimated 10% annual return with a maximum drawdown of -57% over the past 20 years, using this strategy with different entry and exit techniques, users can potentially seek ways to achieve a higher Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) while maintaining a lower maximum drawdown.
Although the strategy can be applied to all markets and timeframes, it is most effective on stocks, indices, future markets, cryptocurrencies, and commodities and JPY currency pairs given their trending behaviors.
In trending market conditions, the strategy employs a combination of moving averages and diverse entry models to identify and capitalize on upward market movements. It integrates market structure-based moving averages and bands mechanisms across different timeframes and provides exit techniques, including percentage-based and risk-reward (RR) based take profit levels.
Additionally, the strategy has also a feature that includes a built-in probability function for traders who want to implement probabilities right into their trading strategies.
Performance summary, weekly, and monthly tables enable quick visualization of performance metrics like net profit, maximum drawdown, profit factor, average trade, average risk-reward ratio (RR), and more.
This aids optimization to meet specific goals and risk tolerance levels effectively.
-----
How does the strategy perform for both investors and traders?
The strategy has two main modes, tailored for different market participants: Traders and Investors.
Trading:
1. Trading:
- Designed for traders looking to capitalize on bullish trending markets.
- Utilizes a percentage risk per trade to manage risk and optimize returns.
- Suitable for active trading with a focus on mean-reversion and risk per trade approach.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
3. Investing:
- Geared towards investors who aim to capitalize on bullish trending markets without using leverage while mitigating the asset's maximum drawdown.
- Utilizes pre-define percentage of the equity to buy, hold, and manage the asset.
- Focuses on long-term growth and capital appreciation by fully investing in the asset during bullish conditions.
- ◓: Mode | %: Risk not applied (In investing mode, the strategy uses 10% of equity to buy the asset)
-----
What's is FRMA? How does the triple bands work? What are the underlying calculations?
Middle Band (FRMA):
The middle band is the core of the FRMA system. It represents the Fractalyst Moving Average, calculated by identifying the most recent external swing highs and lows in the market structure.
By determining these external swing pivot points, which act as significant highs and lows within the market range, the FRMA provides a unique moving average that adapts to market structure changes.
Upper Band:
The upper band shows the average price of the most recent external swing highs.
External swing highs are identified as the highest points between pivot points in the market structure.
This band helps traders identify potential overbought conditions when prices approach or exceed this upper band.
Lower Band:
The lower band shows the average price of the most recent external swing lows.
External swing lows are identified as the lowest points between pivot points in the market structure.
The script utilizes this band to identify potential oversold conditions, triggering entry signals as prices approach or drop below the lower band.
Adjustments Based on User Inputs:
Users can adjust how the upper and lower bands are calculated based on their preferences:
Upper/Lower: This method calculates the average bands using the prices of external swing highs and lows identified in the market.
Percentage Deviation from FRMA: Alternatively, users can opt to calculate the bands based on a percentage deviation from the middle FRMA. This approach provides flexibility to adjust the width of the bands relative to market conditions and volatility.
-----
What's the purpose of using moving averages in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Using moving averages is a widely-used technique to trade with the trend.
The main purpose of using moving averages in this strategy is to filter out bearish price action and to only take trades when the price is trading ABOVE specified moving averages.
The script uses different types of moving averages with user-adjustable timeframes and periods/lengths, allowing traders to try out different variations to maximize strategy performance and minimize drawdowns.
By applying these calculations, the strategy effectively identifies bullish trends and avoids market conditions that are not conducive to profitable trades.
The MA filter allows traders to choose whether they want a specific moving average above or below another one as their entry condition.
This comparison filter can be turned on (>) or off.
For example, you can set the filter so that MA#1 > MA#2, meaning the first moving average must be above the second one before the script looks for entry conditions. This adds an extra layer of trend confirmation, ensuring that trades are only taken in more favorable market conditions.
⍺: MA Period | Σ: MA Timeframe
-----
What entry modes are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
The strategy by default uses two different techniques for the entry criteria with user-adjustable left and right bars: Breakout and Fractal.
1. Breakout Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot high points with a default period of 3.
- It stores the most recent high level in a variable.
- When the price crosses above this most recent level, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot high left bars period | ◨: Pivot high right bars period
2. Fractal Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot low points with a default period of 3.
- When a pivot low is detected, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot low left bars period | ◨: Pivot low right bars period
2. Hunt Entries :
- The strategy identifies a candle that wicks through the lower FRMA band.
- It waits for the next candle to close above the low of the wick candle.
- When this condition is met and the bar is closed, the strategy takes the buy entry.
By utilizing these entry modes, the strategy aims to capitalize on bullish price movements while ensuring that the necessary conditions are met to validate the entry points.
-----
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Initial Stop-Loss:
1. ATR Based:
The Average True Range (ATR) is a method used in technical analysis to measure volatility. It is not used to indicate the direction of price but to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ATR, the True Range (TR) first needs to be identified. The TR takes into account the most current period high/low range as well as the previous period close.
The True Range is the largest of the following:
- Current Period High minus Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High minus Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low minus Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then calculated as the moving average of the TR over a specified period. (The default period is 14).
Example - ATR (14) * 2
⍺: ATR period | Σ: ATR Multiplier
2. ADR Based:
The Average Day Range (ADR) is an indicator that measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ADR for a particular day:
- Calculate the average of the high prices over a specified number of days.
- Calculate the average of the low prices over the same number of days.
- Find the difference between these average values.
- The default period for calculating the ADR is 14 days. A shorter period may introduce more noise, while a longer period may be slower to react to new market movements.
Example - ADR (20) * 2
⍺: ADR period | Σ: ADR Multiplier
3. PL Based:
This method places the stop-loss at the low of the previous candle.
If the current entry is based on the hunt entry strategy, the stop-loss will be placed at the low of the candle that wicks through the lower FRMA band.
Example:
If the previous candle's low is 100, then the stop-loss will be set at 100.
This method ensures the stop-loss is placed just below the most recent significant low, providing a logical and immediate level for risk management.
Application in Strategy (ATR/ADR):
- The strategy calculates the current bar's ADR/ATR with a user-defined period.
- It then multiplies the ADR/ATR by a user-defined multiplier to determine the initial stop-loss level.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop.
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance.
-----
What type of break-even and take profit identification methods are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
For Break-Even:
Percentage (%) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain percentage above the entry.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price * (1 + Percentage / 100)
Example:
If the entry price is $100 and the break-even percentage is 5%, the break-even level is $100 * 1.05 = $105.
Risk-to-Reward (RR) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain RR ratio.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price + (Initial Risk * RR Ratio)
Example:
If the entry price is $100, the initial risk is $10, and the RR ratio is 2, the break-even level is $100 + ($10 * 2) = $120.
FRMA Based:
Moves the stop-loss to break-even when the price hits the FRMA level at which the entry was taken.
Calculation:
Break-even level = FRMA level at the entry
Example:
If the FRMA level at entry is $102, the break-even level is set to $102 when the price reaches $102.
For TP1 (Take Profit 1):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed or 50% if the TP2 boolean is enabled.
- Similar to break-even, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP1 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP2 (Take Profit 2):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed.
- As with break-even and TP1, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP2 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
When Both Percentage (%) Based and RR Based Take Profit Levels Are Off:
The script will adjust the take profit level to the higher FRMA band set within user inputs.
Calculation:
Take profit level = Higher FRMA band length/timeframe specified by the user.
This ensures that when neither percentage-based nor risk-to-reward-based take profit methods are enabled, the strategy defaults to using the higher FRMA band as the take profit level, providing a consistent and structured approach to profit-taking.
For TP1 and TP2, it's specifying the price levels at which the position is partially or fully closed based on the chosen method (percentage or RR) above the entry price.
These calculations are crucial for managing risk and optimizing profitability in the strategy.
⍺: BE/TP type (%/RR) | Σ: how many RR/% above the current price
-----
What's the ADR filter? What does it do? What are the underlying calculations?
The Average Day Range (ADR) measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
The period of the ADR filter used in this strategy is tied to the same period you've used for your initial stop-loss.
Users can define the minimum ADR they want to be met before the script looks for entry conditions.
ADR Bias Filter:
- Compares the current bar ADR with the ADR (Defined by user):
- If the current ADR is higher, it indicates that volatility has increased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬆)
- If the current ADR is lower, it indicates that volatility has decreased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬇)
Calculations:
1. Calculate ADR:
- Average the high prices over the specified period.
- Average the low prices over the same period.
- Find the difference between these average values in %.
2. Current ADR vs. ADR (DbU):
- Calculate the ADR for the current bar.
- Calculate the ADR (DbU).
- Compare the two values to determine if volatility has increased or decreased.
By using the ADR filter, the strategy ensures that trades are only taken in favorable market conditions where volatility meets the user's defined threshold, thus optimizing entry conditions and potentially improving the overall performance of the strategy.
>: Minimum required ADR for entry | %: Current ADR comparison to ADR of 14 days ago.
-----
What's the probability filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability filter is designed to enhance trade entries by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out unfavorable conditions.
This filter helps in identifying optimal entry points where the likelihood of a profitable trade is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
Example - BSL > 55%
-----
What's the range length Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The range length filter identifies the price distance between buyside and sellside liquidity levels in percentage terms. When enabled, the script only looks for entries when the minimum range length is met. This helps ensure that trades are taken in markets with sufficient price movement.
Calculations:
Range Length (%) = ( ( Buyside Level − Sellside Level ) / Current Price ) ×100
Range Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current range price has broken above the previous external swing high.
Bearish Bias: The current range price has broken below the previous external swing low.
Example - Range length filter is enabled | Range must be above 1%
>: Minimum required range length for entry | %: Current range length percentage in a (Bullish/Bearish) range
-----
What's the day filter Filter, what does it do?
The day filter allows users to customize the session time and choose the specific days they want to include in the strategy session. This helps traders tailor their strategies to particular trading sessions or days of the week when they believe the market conditions are more favorable for their trading style.
Customize Session Time:
Users can define the start and end times for the trading session.
This allows the strategy to only consider trades within the specified time window, focusing on periods of higher market activity or preferred trading hours.
Select Days:
Users can select which days of the week to include in the strategy.
This feature is useful for excluding days with historically lower volatility or unfavorable trading conditions (e.g., Mondays or Fridays).
Benefits:
Focus on Optimal Trading Periods:
By customizing session times and days, traders can focus on periods when the market is more likely to present profitable opportunities.
Avoid Unfavorable Conditions:
Excluding specific days or times can help avoid trading during periods of low liquidity or high unpredictability, such as major news events or holidays.
Increased Flexibility: The filter provides increased flexibility, allowing traders to adapt the strategy to their specific needs and preferences.
Example - Day filter | Session Filter
θ: Session time | Exchange time-zone
-----
What tables are available in this script?
Table Type:
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades and more.
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most mean-reversion successful strategies have a percent profitability of 40-80% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- OFF: Hides the performance table.
Profit Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing profit in the performance table, helping to quickly distinguish profitable periods.
Loss Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing loss in the performance table, helping to quickly identify loss-making periods.
These customizable tables provide traders with flexible and detailed performance analysis, aiding in better strategy evaluation and optimization.

User-input styles and customizations:
To facilitate studying historical data, all conditions and rules can be applied to your charts. By plotting background colors on your charts, you'll be able to identify what worked and what didn't in certain market conditions.
Please note that all background colors in the style are disabled by default to enhance visualization.

IsAlgo - Support & Resistance Strategy► Overview:
The Support & Resistance Strategy is designed to identify critical support and resistance levels and execute trades when the price crosses these levels. Utilizing a combination of a moving average, ATR indicator, and the highest and lowest prices, this strategy aims to accurately pinpoint entry and exit points for trades based on market movements.
► Description:
The Support & Resistance Strategy leverages the ATR (Average True Range) and a moving average to identify key support and resistance levels. The strategy calculates these levels by measuring the distance between the current market price and the moving average. This distance is continuously compared with each new candle to provide an estimate of the support and resistance levels.
The ATR is utilized to determine the width of these levels, ensuring they adjust to market volatility. To validate these levels, the strategy counts how often a candle’s low or high touches the estimated support or resistance and then bounces back. A higher frequency of such touches indicates a stronger, more reliable level.
Once the levels are confirmed, the strategy waits for a candle to close above the resistance level or below the support level. A candle closing above the resistance triggers a long entry, while a candle closing below the support triggers a short entry.
The strategy incorporates multiple stop-loss options to manage risk effectively. These options include setting stop-loss levels based on fixed pips, ATR calculations, or the highest/lowest prices of previous candles. Up to three take-profit levels can be set using fixed pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios. A trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, and a break-even feature moves the stop loss to the entry price once a certain profit level is reached.
Additionally, the strategy can close trades if the price crosses the opposite support or resistance level or if a candle moves significantly against the trade direction.

AlgoBuilder [Trend-Following] | FractalystWhat's the strategy's purpose and functionality?
This strategy is designed for both traders and investors looking to rely on and trade based on historical and backtested data using automation. The main goal is to build profitable trend-following strategies that outperform the underlying asset in terms of returns while minimizing drawdown. For example, as for a benchmark, if the S&P 500 (SPX) has achieved an estimated 10% annual return with a maximum drawdown of -57% over the past 20 years, using this strategy with different entry and exit techniques, users can potentially seek ways to achieve a higher Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) while maintaining a lower maximum drawdown.
Although the strategy can be applied to all markets and timeframes, it is most effective on stocks, indices, future markets, cryptocurrencies, and commodities and JPY currency pairs given their trending behaviors.
In trending market conditions, the strategy employs a combination of moving averages and diverse entry models to identify and capitalize on upward market movements. It integrates market structure-based trailing stop-loss mechanisms across different timeframes and provides exit techniques, including percentage-based and risk-reward (RR) based take profit levels.
Additionally, the strategy has also a feature that includes a built-in probability and sentiment function for traders who want to implement probabilities and market sentiment right into their trading strategies.
Performance summary, weekly, and monthly tables enable quick visualization of performance metrics like net profit, maximum drawdown, compound annual growth rate (CAGR), profit factor, average trade, average risk-reward ratio (RR), and more. This aids optimization to meet specific goals and risk tolerance levels effectively.
-----
How does the strategy perform for both investors and traders?
The strategy has two main modes, tailored for different market participants: Traders and Investors.
Trading:
1. Trading (1x):
- Designed for traders looking to capitalize on bullish trending markets.
- Utilizes a percentage risk per trade to manage risk and optimize returns.
- Suitable for active trading with a focus on trend-following and risk management.
- (1x) This mode ensures no stacking of positions, allowing for only one running position or trade at a time.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
2. Trading (2x):
Similar to the 1x mode but allows for two pyramiding entries.
This approach enables traders to increase their position size as the trade moves in their favor, potentially enhancing profits during strong bullish trends.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
3. Investing:
- Geared towards investors who aim to capitalize on bullish trending markets without using leverage while mitigating the asset's maximum drawdown.
- Utilizes 100% of the equity to buy, hold, and manage the asset.
- Focuses on long-term growth and capital appreciation by fully investing in the asset during bullish conditions.
- ◓: Mode | %: Risk not applied (In investing mode, the strategy uses 100% of equity to buy the asset)

What's the purpose of using moving averages in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Using moving averages is a widely-used technique to trade with the trend.
The main purpose of using moving averages in this strategy is to filter out bearish price action and to only take trades when the price is trading ABOVE specified moving averages.
The script uses different types of moving averages with user-adjustable timeframes and periods/lengths, allowing traders to try out different variations to maximize strategy performance and minimize drawdowns.
By applying these calculations, the strategy effectively identifies bullish trends and avoids market conditions that are not conducive to profitable trades.
The MA filter allows traders to choose whether they want a specific moving average above or below another one as their entry condition.
This comparison filter can be turned on (>/<) or off.
For example, you can set the filter so that MA#1 > MA#2, meaning the first moving average must be above the second one before the script looks for entry conditions. This adds an extra layer of trend confirmation, ensuring that trades are only taken in more favorable market conditions.
MA #1: Fast MA | MA #2: Medium MA | MA #3: Slow MA
⍺: MA Period | Σ: MA Timeframe
-----
What entry modes are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
The strategy by default uses two different techniques for the entry criteria with user-adjustable left and right bars: Breakout and Fractal.
1. Breakout Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot high points with a default period of 3.
- It stores the most recent high level in a variable.
- When the price crosses above this most recent level, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot high left bars period | ◨: Pivot high right bars period
2. Fractal Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot low points with a default period of 3.
- When a pivot low is detected, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot low left bars period | ◨: Pivot low right bars period
By utilizing these entry modes, the strategy aims to capitalize on bullish price movements while ensuring that the necessary conditions are met to validate the entry points.
-----
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Initial Stop-Loss:
1. ATR Based:
The Average True Range (ATR) is a method used in technical analysis to measure volatility. It is not used to indicate the direction of price but to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ATR, the True Range (TR) first needs to be identified. The TR takes into account the most current period high/low range as well as the previous period close.
The True Range is the largest of the following:
- Current Period High minus Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High minus Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low minus Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then calculated as the moving average of the TR over a specified period. (The default period is 14).
Example - ATR (14) * 1.5
⍺: ATR period | Σ: ATR Multiplier
2. ADR Based:
The Average Day Range (ADR) is an indicator that measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ADR for a particular day:
- Calculate the average of the high prices over a specified number of days.
- Calculate the average of the low prices over the same number of days.
- Find the difference between these average values.
- The default period for calculating the ADR is 14 days. A shorter period may introduce more noise, while a longer period may be slower to react to new market movements.
Example - ADR (14) * 1.5
⍺: ADR period | Σ: ADR Multiplier
Application in Strategy:
- The strategy calculates the current bar's ADR/ATR with a user-defined period.
- It then multiplies the ADR/ATR by a user-defined multiplier to determine the initial stop-loss level.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop.
Trailing Stop-Loss:
One of the key elements of this strategy is its ability to detec buyside and sellside liquidity levels across multiple timeframes to trail the stop-loss once the trade is in running profits.
By utilizing this approach, the strategy allows enough room for price to run.
There are two built-in trailing stop-loss (SL) options you can choose from while in a trade:
1. External Trailing Stop-Loss:
- Uses sell-side liquidity to trail your stop-loss, allowing price to consolidate before continuation. This method is less aggressive and provides more room for price fluctuations.
Example - External - Wick below the trailing SL - 12H trailing timeframe
⍺: Exit type | Σ: Trailing stop-loss timeframe
2. Internal Trailing Stop-Loss:
- Uses the most recent swing low with a period of 2 to trail your stop-loss. This method is more aggressive compared to the external trailing stop-loss, as it tightens the stop-loss closer to the current price action.
Example - Internal - Close below the trailing SL - 6H trailing timeframe
⍺: Exit type | Σ: Trailing stop-loss timeframe
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance.
-----
What type of break-even and take profit identification methods are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
For Break-Even:
- You can choose to set a break-even level at which your initial stop-loss moves to the entry price as soon as it hits, and your trailing stop-loss gets activated (if enabled).
- You can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based break-even, allowing you to set your break-even level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP1 (Take Profit 1):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed or 50% if the TP2 boolean is enabled.
- Similar to break-even, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP1 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP2 (Take Profit 2):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed.
- As with break-even and TP1, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP2 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
The underlying calculations involve determining the price levels at which these actions are triggered. For break-even, it moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price and activate the trailing stop-loss once the break-even level is reached.
For TP1 and TP2, it's specifying the price levels at which the position is partially or fully closed based on the chosen method (percentage or RR) above the entry price.
These calculations are crucial for managing risk and optimizing profitability in the strategy.
⍺: BE/TP type (%/RR) | Σ: how many RR/% above the current price
-----
What's the ADR filter? What does it do? What are the underlying calculations?
The Average Day Range (ADR) measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
The period of the ADR filter used in this strategy is tied to the same period you've used for your initial stop-loss.
Users can define the minimum ADR they want to be met before the script looks for entry conditions.
ADR Bias Filter:
- Compares the current bar ADR with the ADR (Defined by user):
- If the current ADR is higher, it indicates that volatility has increased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬆)
- If the current ADR is lower, it indicates that volatility has decreased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬇)
Calculations:
1. Calculate ADR:
- Average the high prices over the specified period.
- Average the low prices over the same period.
- Find the difference between these average values in %.
2. Current ADR vs. ADR (DbU):
- Calculate the ADR for the current bar.
- Calculate the ADR (DbU).
- Compare the two values to determine if volatility has increased or decreased.
By using the ADR filter, the strategy ensures that trades are only taken in favorable market conditions where volatility meets the user's defined threshold, thus optimizing entry conditions and potentially improving the overall performance of the strategy.
>: Minimum required ADR for entry | %: Current ADR comparison to ADR of 14 days ago.
-----
What's the probability filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability filter is designed to enhance trade entries by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out unfavorable conditions.
This filter helps in identifying optimal entry points where the likelihood of a profitable trade is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
Example - BSL > 50%
-----
What's the sentiment Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
Sentiment filter aims to calculate the percentage level of bullish or bearish fluctuations within equally divided price sections, in the latest price range.
Calculations:
This filter calculates the current sentiment by identifying the highest swing high and the lowest swing low, then evenly dividing the distance between them into percentage amounts. If the price is above the 50% mark, it indicates bullishness, whereas if it's below 50%, it suggests bearishness.
Sentiment Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current price is trading above the 50% daily range.
Bearish Bias: The current price is trading below the 50% daily range.
Example - Sentiment Enabled | Bullish degree above 50% | Bullish sentimental bias
>: Minimum required sentiment for entry | %: Current sentimental degree in a (Bullish/Bearish) sentimental bias
-----
What's the range length Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The range length filter identifies the price distance between buyside and sellside liquidity levels in percentage terms. When enabled, the script only looks for entries when the minimum range length is met. This helps ensure that trades are taken in markets with sufficient price movement.
Calculations:
Range Length (%) = ( ( Buyside Level − Sellside Level ) / Current Price ) ×100
Range Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current range price has broken above the previous external swing high.
Bearish Bias: The current range price has broken below the previous external swing low.
Example - Range length filter is enabled | Range must be above 5% | Price must be in a bearish range
>: Minimum required range length for entry | %: Current range length percentage in a (Bullish/Bearish) range
-----
What's the day filter Filter, what does it do?
The day filter allows users to customize the session time and choose the specific days they want to include in the strategy session. This helps traders tailor their strategies to particular trading sessions or days of the week when they believe the market conditions are more favorable for their trading style.
Customize Session Time:
Users can define the start and end times for the trading session.
This allows the strategy to only consider trades within the specified time window, focusing on periods of higher market activity or preferred trading hours.
Select Days:
Users can select which days of the week to include in the strategy.
This feature is useful for excluding days with historically lower volatility or unfavorable trading conditions (e.g., Mondays or Fridays).
Benefits:
Focus on Optimal Trading Periods:
By customizing session times and days, traders can focus on periods when the market is more likely to present profitable opportunities.
Avoid Unfavorable Conditions:
Excluding specific days or times can help avoid trading during periods of low liquidity or high unpredictability, such as major news events or holidays.
Increased Flexibility: The filter provides increased flexibility, allowing traders to adapt the strategy to their specific needs and preferences.
Example - Day filter | Session Filter
θ: Session time | Exchange time-zone
-----
What tables are available in this script?
Table Type:
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades, Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), MAR and more.
CAGR: It calculates the 'Compound Annual Growth Rate' first and last taken trades on your chart. The CAGR is a notional, annualized growth rate that assumes all profits are reinvested. It only takes into account the prices of the two end points — not drawdowns, so it does not calculate risk. It can be used as a yardstick to compare the performance of two strategies. Since it annualizes values, it requires a minimum 4H timeframe to display the CAGR value. annualizing returns over smaller periods of times doesn't produce very meaningful figures.
MAR: Measure of return adjusted for risk: CAGR divided by Max Drawdown. Indicates how comfortable the system might be to trade. Higher than 0.5 is ideal, 1.0 and above is very good, and anything above 3.0 should be considered suspicious and you need to make sure the total number of trades are high enough by running a Deep Backtest in strategy tester. (available for TradingView Premium users.)
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most trend-following successful strategies have a percent profitability of 15-40% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- OFF: Hides the performance table.
Labels:
- OFF: Hides labels in the performance table.
- PnL: Shows the profit and loss of each trade individually, providing detailed insights into the performance of each trade.
- Range: Shows the range length and Average Day Range (ADR), offering additional context about market conditions during each trade.
Profit Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing profit in the performance table, helping to quickly distinguish profitable periods.
Loss Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing loss in the performance table, helping to quickly identify loss-making periods.
These customizable tables provide traders with flexible and detailed performance analysis, aiding in better strategy evaluation and optimization.
