Strong Trend Suite — Clean v6A clean, rules-based trend tool for swing traders. It identifies strong up/down trends by syncing five pillars:
Trend structure: price above/below a MA stack (EMA20 > SMA50 > EMA200 for up; inverse for down).
Momentum: RSI (50 line) and MACD (line > signal and side of zero).
Trend strength: ADX above a threshold and rising.
Volume confirmation: OBV vs its short MA (accumulation/distribution).
Optional higher-TF bias: weekly filter to avoid fighting bigger flows.
When all align, the background tints and the mini-meter flips green/red (UP/DOWN).
It also marks entry cues: pullbacks to EMA20/SMA50 with a MACD re-cross, or breakouts of recent highs/lows on volume.
Built-in alerts for strong trend, pullback, and breakout keep you hands-off; use “Once per bar close” on the Daily chart for best signal quality.

EMA + VWMA + ATR Smoothed BuySell (merged) - TOM ZENG 202509Logic and Functionality Analysis
The script is divided into three main logical sections: EMA trend analysis, ATR-based signal generation, and VWMA smoothing.
1. EMA Trend Analysis (EMA Fan) 📈
This section uses a series of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify trends. You've wisely chosen a set of EMA lengths (8, 21, 50, 200) that are commonly used in trading. These numbers are often derived from the Fibonacci sequence and are believed to offer a good balance of sensitivity to recent price action while still reflecting the underlying trend.
Purpose: The EMAs serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. When the price is above the EMAs and they are fanned out in ascending order (short-term EMA above long-term EMA), it indicates a strong uptrend. Conversely, a descending order indicates a downtrend.
Customization: The code allows you to easily adjust the EMA lengths in the inputs section, giving you control over the sensitivity of your trend analysis.
2. ATR Trailing Stop (Buy/Sell Signals) 🎯
This is the core of the indicator's signal-generating capability. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to create a dynamic trailing stop line. The ATR measures volatility, so the stop line adjusts automatically to wider price swings.
Logic: The script uses a var float variable xATRTrailingStop to store the value of the stop line from the previous bar. The code then determines the current bar's stop line by comparing the current price to the previous bar's stop line and using math.max and math.min to smoothly move the line along with the trend.
Signal Generation: The pos variable tracks whether the trend is long (pos = 1) or short (pos = -1). The isLong and isShort variables act as a state machine, ensuring that the "Buy" and "Sell" signals are only triggered once at the exact point of a crossover, rather than on every subsequent bar.
Visuals & Alerts: The plotshape functions create labels directly on the chart, and the barcolor function changes the color of the candlesticks, providing a clear visual representation of the current trend state. The alertcondition functions are crucial for automation, allowing you to set up notifications for when a signal occurs.
3. VWMA and Combined Average 🌊
This section introduces a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA), which gives more weight to periods of high trading volume. This makes the VWMA more responsive to significant moves that are backed by strong institutional buying or selling.
Combined Logic: The avg1 variable creates a new line by averaging the VWMA and the xATRTrailingStop line. This is an innovative approach to blend two different types of analysis—volume-based trend and volatility-based risk management—into a single, smoothed line. It can act as an additional filter or a unique trading signal on its own.
Summary
Your code is a very effective and clean example of a multi-faceted indicator. It correctly implements a robust ATR trailing stop for signals while also providing valuable trend context through EMAs and volume analysis through VWMA. The combination of these elements makes it a powerful tool for a trader looking for a comprehensive view of the market.
童貞2_MACDUp and down arrows will appear to let you know which way to place it. It is important to be able to analyze the chart before using this indicator. We recommend using our homemade MACD at 15 minutes.
Classic RSI/MACD Overlay (Normalized)i tried to put macd and rsi on price chart, i am sure it will help traders in many ways to visualize exactly what is going to happen next moment.
20 EMA Slope ConfirmationWhat This Script Does:
- Calculates the current 20 EMA.
- Computes the average of the previous 20 EMAs, excluding today.
- Flags when today’s EMA is greater than the average → bullish slope.
- Highlights the chart background and adds a triangle for visual cue.
Price Action [BreakOut] InternalKey Features and Functionality
Support & Resistance (S/R): The script automatically identifies and draws support and resistance lines based on a user-defined "swing period." These lines are drawn from recent pivot points, and users can customize their appearance, including color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and extension (left, right, or both). The indicator can also display the exact price of each S/R level.
Trendlines: It draws trendlines connecting pivot highs and pivot lows. This feature helps visualize the current trend direction. Users can choose to show only the newest trendlines, customize their length and style, and select the source for the pivot points (e.g., candle close or high/low shadow).
Price Action Pivots: This is a core component that identifies and labels different types of pivots based on price action: Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL). These pivots are crucial for understanding market structure and identifying potential trend changes. The script marks these pivots with shapes and can display their price values.
Fractal Breakouts: The script identifies and signals "fractal breakouts" and "breakdowns" when the price closes above a recent high pivot or below a recent low pivot, respectively. These signals are visually represented with up (⬆) and down (⬇) arrow symbols on the chart.
Customization and Alerts: The indicator is highly customizable. You can toggle on/off various features (S/R, trendlines, pivots, etc.), adjust colors, line styles, and text sizes. It also includes an extensive list of alert conditions, allowing traders to receive notifications for:
Price Crossovers: When the close price crosses over or under a support or resistance level.
Trendline Breaks: When the price breaks above an upper trendline or below a lower trendline.
Fractal Breaks: When a fractal breakout or breakdown occurs.
STRAT 3-2-2 (30m) • Upcoming / Approach / Entry + AlertsThis indicator is built for The STRAT trading method, specifically the 3-2-2 reversal pattern. It monitors price action on the 30-minute timeframe (HTF = 30m) and visually/alert-wise highlights where a 3-2-2 setup, approach, or entry trigger occurs.
---
⚙️ How it works
1. Detects bar types:
3 (Outside Bar) = range breaks both high & low of the previous bar
2u (Up bar) = higher high, not outside
2d (Down bar) = lower low, not outside
1 (Inside bar) = fully contained within prior bar
2. Looks for 3-2-2 setups:
Bullish 3-2-2 = 3 → 2d → 2u (expect reversal UP)
Bearish 3-2-2 = 3 → 2u → 2d (expect reversal DOWN)
3. Defines trigger levels:
Bullish trigger = high of the first “2d” bar
Bearish trigger = low of the first “2u” bar
4. Signals 3 phases:
Upcoming: pattern is forming, second “2” hasn’t triggered yet
Approach: price comes within 50% (adjustable) of the trigger level
Entry: price breaks the trigger (actual reversal confirmation)
5. Visualization:
Labels above/below candles show “Approach” and “Entry”
Background or bar colors (toggle in settings) highlight Setup / Approach / Entry
Optional dotted line marks the trigger level for clarity
---
🔔 Alerts
Two alert systems are built in:
1. Safe static conditions (for normal TradingView alert setup):
APPROACH: Bullish 3-2-2 (30m)
APPROACH: Bearish 3-2-2 (30m)
ENTRY: Bullish 3-2-2 (30m)
ENTRY: Bearish 3-2-2 (30m)
2. Dynamic messages (using alert() calls with price info):
If you create an alert with “Any alert() function call”, the pop-up will include the trigger price.
---
📋 Inputs (Settings)
Signal timeframe (HTF) → default 30m
Confirm signals at HTF bar close → waits for bar close (non-repainting)
Approach = % of first '2' bar range → default 50%
Show labels → On/Off
Color candles instead of background → toggle between candle color vs. chart background
HTF HV Lines + Exceptional + Nearest Breakout (core only)Non-repainting breakout tool that maps high-volume (HV) levels from a higher timeframe (Daily by default) onto any intraday chart. It detects new HV bars only when the higher-timeframe candle closes, then draws persistent horizontal lines at that bar’s high and low. Optionally color “exceptional” volume events. On the trading timeframe, the script watches the nearest HV line and flags breakouts using OHLC quality checks: ATR-scaled close distance, minimum real body, and small opposite wick. Inputs let you cap stored events, tune strictness, ignore stale lines, and manage visual style easily.

NY Open 15-Minute Range - Current Day OnlyV1.0
This script shows the NY opening range for the first 15 min overlayed on the chart. This is only for the current day.
Three-Step 9:30 Range Scalping# Three-Step 9:30 Range Scalping Strategy Rules
## Step 1: Mark the Levels (9:30 AM)
- Wait for the **first 5-minute candle** starting at 9:30 AM EST to close
- Mark the **HIGH** and **LOW** of this candle
- Switch to **1-minute chart** for trading
## Step 2: Find Your Entry (Trade for 1 hour only: 9:30-10:30 AM)
### BREAK Entry
- Need: **Fair Value Gap (FVG)** + **ANY** of the 3 FVG candles closes outside the range
- FVG = Gap between candle wicks (3-candle pattern)
### TRAP Entry
- Need: Break outside range → Retest back inside → Close back outside again
### REVERSAL Entry
- Need: Failed break in one direction → Opposite FVG back into the range
## Step 3: Trade Management
### Stop Loss:
- **Break/Trap**: Low/High of first candle that closed outside the range
- **Reversal**: Low/High of first candle in the FVG pattern
### Take Profit:
- **Always 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio**
- If you risk $100, you make $200
## Key Rules:
- ✅ **Body close** outside range (not just wicks)
- ✅ Trade on **1-minute chart** only
- ✅ Only trade **first hour** (9:30-10:30 AM EST)
- ✅ **Fixed 2:1** take profit every time
- ✅ One strategy, stay consistent
**That's it. No complicated indicators, no higher timeframe bias, no guesswork.**
MSS BoxesWhat it is
The MSS Boxes indicator finds Market Structure Shifts (a decisive break in structure with displacement) and draws actionable zones (“boxes”) from the candle that caused the shift. Those boxes then act as mitigation / continuation areas for the rest of the session (or until they’re invalidated). It’s designed to be clean, non-repainting, and to work as a confluence layer with your SD and ATR Trigger grids.
What you’ll see on the chart
Green boxes for bullish MSS (demand); red boxes for bearish MSS (supply).
A compact label at the box origin (e.g., BOS↑ / BOS↓, or CHOCH) with the time-frame tag if you enable MTF.
Optional status badge on the right edge:
active (untouched), mitigated (tapped and respected), invalid (closed through), expired.
Clean behavior: once a box is printed it does not slide; coordinates are fixed to the confirmed signal candle.
Inputs (quick guide)
Swing detection
Swing length (for swing highs/lows), lookback for break validity, strict wick rule on/off.
Displacement factor (0 = off; typical 1.2–2.0).
Box recipe
Use full wick vs. use body for top/bottom.
Minimum box height (ticks), auto-merge overlapping (joins adjacent boxes of the same side).
Max lifetime (bars), session reset (e.g., clear on NY 18:00).
MTF alignment
Toggle H1 / M15 filters; choose “Plot only when aligned” vs “Plot all but alert only when aligned.”
Visuals
Fill/outline colors, opacity, label size, extend style (full-width vs to last bar).
Daily Buy/Sell Triggers + ATR TargetsThis tool gives you a once-per-day, objective ATR map: Buy Trigger above the open, Sell Trigger below the open, clean ATR targets, and FULL ATR extremes. It’s designed for clarity, precision, and zero intraday repainting so you can plan the session and execute with confidence.
This indicator prints a new, static grid of intraday levels every New York 18:00 (end of the NY trading day). The grid is anchored at the day’s open and spaced by the Daily ATR so you get tick-precise Buy Trigger, Sell Trigger, intermediate ATR targets, and the FULL ATR bounds for the session.
The levels act as objective support/resistance and intraday measuring sticks for continuation, mean-reversion, and range expansion trades.
What you see on the chart
A thin midline at the Daily Open (anchor).
Green lines above, red lines below, spaced at your chosen ATR multiples.
Text at the far right for:
Buy trigger
Sell trigger
FULL ATR (both sides)
Intermediate targets are unlabeled to keep the chart clean (they’re still tradable S/R).
Kootch EMA MapKootch EMA overlays the 200 EMA from M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, and D1 on any chart so you always see where higher and lower-timeframe trend gravity actually is. It also builds an optional Fib channel between the most extreme MTF 200 EMAs (min/max), giving you clean intrachannel targets and confluence zones.
What it does
• Plots seven 200 EMAs (M1 → D1) simultaneously via MTF pulls
• Color/weight hierarchy: thicker lines = higher timeframe (clear priority)
• Right-edge TF tags (M1, M5, … D1) so you know exactly what you’re looking at
• Optional Fib levels between min/max MTF 200 EMAs (0 → 1 band) for entries, adds, and take-profit scaling
Why traders use it
• Immediate read on trend alignment vs. chop across timeframes
• Mean-reversion & continuation cues when price stretches from/returns to key EMAs
• Level stacking: use M30/H1/H4/D1 as bias, trade entries around lower-TF reactions
Inputs
• EMA Length (default 200)
• Label offset (push tags off the last bar)
• Show Fib channel toggle + color control
How I use it
• Bias from D1/H4/H1; execution from M5/M15.
• Fade or follow at Fib 0.382 / 0.618 inside the EMA envelope; scale out near Fib 1.0 into HTF EMAs.
• Skip trades when EMAs are braided and distances are compressed.
Notes
• Works on any symbol/timeframe; all TF EMAs are requested explicitly.
• This is a map, not a crystal ball: combine with your playbook (structure breaks, FVGs, liquidity, volume).
EAOBS by MIGVersion 1
1. Strategy Overview Objective: Capitalize on breakout movements in Ethereum (ETH) price after the Asian open pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) by identifying high and low prices during the session and trading breakouts above the high or below the low.
Timeframe: Any (script is timeframe-agnostic, but align with session timing).
Session: Pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST, adjustable for other time zones, e.g., 12:00 AM–12:59 AM GMT).
Risk-Reward Ratios (R:R): Targets range from 1.2:1 to 5.2:1, with a fixed stop loss.
Instrument: Ethereum (ETH/USD or ETH-based pairs).
2. Market Setup Session Monitoring: Monitor ETH price action during the pre-market session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST), which aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., 9:00 AM–9:59 AM JST).
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low during this session.
Breakout Triggers: Buy Signal: Price breaks above the session’s high after the session ends (7:59 PM EST).
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the session’s low after the session ends.
Visualization: The session is highlighted on the chart with a white background.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the session’s high and low, extended for 30 bars, along with take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
3. Entry Rules Long (Buy) Entry: Enter a long position when the price breaks above the session’s high price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just above the session high (e.g., add a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%, to avoid false breakouts, depending on volatility).
Short (Sell) Entry: Enter a short position when the price breaks below the session’s low price after 7:59 PM EST.
Entry price: Just below the session low (e.g., subtract a small buffer, like 0.1–0.5%).
Confirmation: Use a candlestick close above/below the breakout level to confirm the entry.
Optionally, add volume confirmation or a momentum indicator (e.g., RSI or MACD) to filter out weak breakouts.
Position Size: Calculate position size based on risk tolerance (e.g., 1–2% of account per trade).
Risk is determined by the stop-loss distance (10 points, as defined in the script).
4. Exit Rules Take-Profit Levels (in points, based on script inputs):TP1: 12 points (1.2:1 R:R).
TP2: 22 points (2.2:1 R:R).
TP3: 32 points (3.2:1 R:R).
TP4: 42 points (4.2:1 R:R).
TP5: 52 points (5.2:1 R:R).
Example for Long: If session high is 3000, TP levels are 3012, 3022, 3032, 3042, 3052.
Example for Short: If session low is 2950, TP levels are 2938, 2928, 2918, 2908, 2898.
Strategy: Scale out of the position (e.g., close 20% at TP1, 20% at TP2, etc.) or take full profit at a preferred TP level based on market conditions.
Stop-Loss: Fixed at 10 points from the entry.
Long SL: Session high - 10 points (e.g., entry at 3000, SL at 2990).
Short SL: Session low + 10 points (e.g., entry at 2950, SL at 2960).
Trailing Stop (Optional):After reaching TP2 or TP3, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits (e.g., trail by 10–15 points below the current price).
5. Risk Management per Trade: Limit risk to 1–2% of your trading account per trade.
Calculate position size: Account Size × Risk % ÷ (Stop-Loss Distance × ETH Price per Point).
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. If SL = 10 points and 1 point = $1, position size = $100 ÷ 10 = 0.1 ETH.
Daily Risk Limit: Cap daily losses at 3–5% of the account to avoid overtrading.
Maximum Exposure: Avoid taking both long and short positions simultaneously unless using separate accounts or strategies.
Volatility Consideration: Adjust position size during high-volatility periods (e.g., major news events like Ethereum upgrades or macroeconomic announcements).
6. Trade Management Monitoring :Watch for breakouts after 7:59 PM EST.
Monitor price action near TP and SL levels using alerts or manual checks.
Trade Duration: Breakout lines extend for 30 bars (script parameter). Close trades if no TP or SL is hit within this period, or reassess based on market conditions.
Adjustments: If the market shows strong momentum, consider holding beyond TP5 with a trailing stop.
If the breakout fails (e.g., price reverses before TP1), exit early to minimize losses.
7. Additional Considerations Market Conditions: The 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST session aligns with the Asian market open (e.g., Tokyo Stock Exchange open at 9:00 AM JST), which may introduce higher volatility due to Asian trading activity.
Avoid trading during low-liquidity periods or extreme volatility (e.g., major crypto news).
Check for upcoming events (e.g., Ethereum network upgrades, ETF decisions) that could impact price.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical ETH data using the session high/low breakouts for the 7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST window to validate performance.
Adjust TP/SL levels based on backtest results if needed.
Broker and Fees: Use a low-fee crypto exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro) to maximize R:R.
Account for trading fees and slippage in your position sizing.
Time zone Adjustment: Adjust session time input for your time zone (e.g., "0000-0059" for GMT).
Ensure your trading platform’s clock aligns with the script’s time zone (default: America/New_York).
8. Example Trade Scenario: Session (7:00 PM–7:59 PM EST) records a high of 3050 and a low of 3000.
Long Trade: Entry: Price breaks above 3050 (e.g., enter at 3051).
TP Levels: 3063 (TP1), 3073 (TP2), 3083 (TP3), 3093 (TP4), 3103 (TP5).
SL: 3040 (3050 - 10).
Position Size: For a $10,000 account, 1% risk = $100. SL = 11 points ($11). Size = $100 ÷ 11 = ~0.09 ETH.
Short Trade: Entry: Price breaks below 3000 (e.g., enter at 2999).
TP Levels: 2987 (TP1), 2977 (TP2), 2967 (TP3), 2957 (TP4), 2947 (TP5).
SL: 3010 (3000 + 10).
Position Size: Same as above, ~0.09 ETH.
Execution: Set alerts for breakouts, enter with limit orders, and monitor TPs/SL.
9. Tools and Setup Platform: Use TradingView to implement the Pine Script and visualize breakout levels.
Alerts: Set price alerts for breakouts above the session high or below the session low after 7:59 PM EST.
Set alerts for TP and SL levels.
Chart Settings: Use a 1-minute or 5-minute chart for precise session tracking.
Overlay the script to see high/low lines, TP levels, and SL levels.
Optional Indicators: Add RSI (e.g., avoid overbought/oversold breakouts) or volume to confirm breakouts.
10. Risk Warnings Crypto Volatility: ETH is highly volatile; unexpected news can cause rapid price swings.
False Breakouts: Breakouts may fail, especially in low-volume sessions. Use confirmation signals.
Leverage: Avoid high leverage (e.g., >5x) to prevent liquidation during volatile moves.
Session Accuracy: Ensure correct session timing for your time zone to avoid misaligned entries.
11. Performance Tracking Journaling :Record each trade’s entry, exit, R:R, and outcome.
Note market conditions (e.g., trending, ranging, news-driven).
Review: Weekly: Assess win rate, average R:R, and adherence to the plan.
Monthly: Adjust TP/SL or session timing based on performance.
