ABUs EurorampThis strategy backtests the opening ramp of Europe at 9am European time, which is 2am Chicago time ( CME ES timezone ) on the ES Futures Contract.
The following conditions are embedded in the strategy:
- Market entry at 2 am Chicago time
- Size = 2 contracts
- Stop = -5 points
- TP 1 = +3 points (1 Contract)
- Stop to Break even (entry + 0.5) after TP 1 is reached
- Set a TP 2 stop to +5 if entry is +10 points
- Close all positions EOD RTH
As the script entry / stops / TPs work on candle closes, best is to use the strategy on the 5min chart.

Indicator - ATR Profit Loss - DGHi Traders,
This is an on chart indicator that can be used for setting take profit and stop losses very easily using the Average True Range Indicator (ATR). Using a volatility adjusted TP and SL will allow you to set your targets and losses based on market conditions. In the settings, you are able to adjust how much of a multiplier you require depending on your risk tolerance and strategy. For those that follow the NNFX method, the defult settings are preset to 1xATR TP and 1.5xATR SL.
How to use:
- For longs, 'isLong' box must be ticked, for shorts, this box is unticked
- For longs, green line is TP, red line is SL
- For shorts, red line is TP, green line is SL

[fikira] Harmonic Patterns 2This is "Harmonic Patterns", part 2 Open Source
(in 2 parts, otherwise many lines are gone because the script is too large):
- Crab
- Bat (+ Alt)
- Butterfly
- Shark
A "Pattern" is created by checking 5 consecutive ( pivot ) points, starting with X, A, B, C, and ending with point D.
At point D all 5 points are compared, calculated and verified.
When confirmed, a "Label" will be plotted at point D, together with the "Entry", "Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" price.
The "Entry", "Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" lines will be plotted as well at point D.
Lastly, a "Drawing" automatically will be displayed which makes the "Pattern" visible.
Please do mind, the "Drawing" is calculated differently, the "Drawing" sometimes can be displayed incorrectly
when prices are too close to each other (for example low Satoshi price changes).
THE "ENTRY", "TAKE PROFIT", "STOP LOSS" PRICES AND LINES ARE NOT AFFECTED AT ALL BY THIS, THEY WILL SHOW CORRECTLY!
- 1 "TP point" can be changed ("TP Level 0.618")
- "Labels", "Lines", "Drawings" can be disabled/enabled
- "Labels" can be made smaller or bigger ("Size Label")
- "Labels" can be placed further or closer to the bar ("Distance TP Label" > higher = closer, lower = further)
- "Lines" can be made thicker or thinner ("TP Linewidth")
- "Drawings" can be made thicker or thinner ("Drawings Linewidth")
- "Drawings" are created by comparing with 100 bars back in history (default), should it be (very rarely) a triangle is displayed flat on the left side,
possibly the first point(s) is/are further than 100 bars ago, in this case increase "Period Drawings" above 100.
- Animal symbols can be enabled/disabled
- When several "Patterns" appear on the chart, the oldest ones won't be displayed anymore, first the "Drawings", then the "Lines"
The last (present) ones will always be displayed in total without a problem!
- If you want to see "Patterns" with less correct measurement, change "Error Marge" 0.9 - 1" and "Error Marge" 1 - 1.1"), this gives max. about 10% extra margin
- Added more settings regarding "Drawing Lines"
Thank you very much!

How to automate this strategy for free using a chrome extension.Hey everyone,
Recently we developed a chrome extension for automating TradingView strategies using the alerts they provide. Initially we were charging a monthly fee for the extension, but we have now decided to make it FREE for everyone. So to display the power of automating strategies via TradingView, we figured we would also provide a profitable strategy along with the custom alert script and commands for the alerts so you can easily cut and paste to begin trading for profit while you sleep.
Step 1:
You are going to need to download the Chrome Extension called AutoView. You can get the extension for free by following this link: bit.ly ( I had to shorten the link as it contains Google and TV automatically converts it to a symbol)
Step 2: Go to your chrome extension page, and under the new extension you'll see a "settings" button. In the setting you will have to connect and give permission to the exchange 1broker allowing the extension to place your orders automatically when triggered by an alert.
Step 3: Setup the strategy and custom script for the alerts in TradingView. The attached script is the strategy, you can play with the settings yourself to try and get better numbers/performance if you please.
This following script is for the custom alerts:
//@version=2
study("4All-Alert", shorttitle="Alerts")
src = close
len = input(4, minval=1, title="Length")
up = rma(max(change(src), 0), len)
down = rma(-min(change(src), 0), len)
rsi = down == 0 ? 100 : up == 0 ? 0 : 100 - (100 / (1 + up / down))
rsin = input(5)
sn = 100 - rsin
ln = 0 + rsin
short = crossover(rsi, sn) ? 1 : 0
long = crossunder(rsi, ln) ? 1 : 0
plot(long, "Long", color=green)
plot(short, "Short", color=red)
Now that you have the extension installed, the custom strategy and alert scripts in place, you simply need to create the alerts.
To get the alerts to communicate with the extension properly, there is a specific syntax that you will need to put in the message of the alert. You can find more details about the syntax here : gist.github.com
For this specific strategy, I use the Alerts script, long/short greater than 0.9 on close.
In the message for a long place this as your message:
Long
c=order b=short
c=position b=short l=200 t=market
b=long q=0.01 l=200 t=market tp=13 sl=25
and for the short...
Short
c=order b=long
c=position b=long l=200 t=market
b=short q=0.01 l=200 t=market tp=13 sl=25
If you'll notice in my above messages, compared to the strategy my tp and sl (take profit and stop loss) vary by a few pips. This is to cover the market opens and spread on 1broker. You can change the tp and sl in the strategy to the above and see that the overall profit will not vary much at all.
I hope this all makes sense and it is enough to not only make some people money, but to show the power of coming up with your own strategy and automating it using TradingView alerts and the free Chrome Extension AutoView.
ps. I highly recommend upgrading your TradingView account so you have access to back testing and multiple alerts.
There is really no reason you won't cover the cost and then some on a monthly basis using the tools provided.
Best of luck and happy trading.
Note: The extension currently allows for automation on 2 exchanges; 1broker and Okcoin. If you do not have accounts there, we'd appreciate you signing up using our referral links.

AlgoWay GRSIM🧭 What this strategy tries to do
This strategy detects when a market move is losing strength and prepares for a potential reversal, but it waits for fresh momentum confirmation before acting.
It combines:
• RSI-based divergence (to spot exhaustion and potential turning points),
• Impulse MACD (to verify that the new direction actually has force behind it).
________________________________________
⚙️ When it takes trades
Long (Buy):
• A bullish RSI divergence appears (a clue that selling pressure is fading);
• Within a short time window, the Impulse MACD turns strongly positive;
• Optionally, the impulse line itself must be rising (if the Impulse Direction Filter is
enabled).
Short (Sell):
• A bearish RSI divergence appears (buying pressure fading);
• Within a short time window, the Impulse MACD turns strongly negative;
• Optionally, the impulse line must be falling (if the Impulse Direction Filter is enabled).
If momentum confirmation happens too late, the divergence “expires” and the signal is ignored.
________________________________________
🧩 How entries work
1. Reversal clue:
The strategy detects disagreement between price and RSI (price makes a new high/low, RSI doesn’t).
That suggests a shift in underlying strength.
2. Momentum confirmation:
Before entering, the Impulse MACD must agree — showing real push in the same direction.
3. Impulse direction filter (optional):
When enabled, the impulse itself must accelerate (rise for longs, fall for shorts), avoiding fake signals where price diverges but momentum is still fading.
4. No stacking:
It opens only one position at a time.
________________________________________
🚪 How exits work
Two main exit styles:
Conservative (default):
Longs close when impulse crosses below its signal line.
Shorts close when impulse crosses above its signal line.
✅ Keeps trades as long as momentum agrees.
Color-change (fast):
Longs close immediately when impulse flips bearish.
Shorts close immediately when impulse flips bullish.
⚡ Faster and more defensive.
Plus:
Stop Loss (%) and Take Profit (%) act as fixed-distance protective exits (set to 0 to disable either one).
________________________________________
📊 What you’ll see on the chart
A thick Impulse MACD line and thin signal line (oscillator view).
Diamonds — detected bullish/bearish divergence points.
Circles — where impulse crosses its signal (momentum change).
A performance panel (top-right) showing Net Profit, Trades, Win Rate, Profit Factor, Pessimistic PF, and Max Drawdown.
________________________________________
🔧 What you can tune
Signal Lifetime (bars): how long a divergence remains valid.
Impulse Direction Filter: ensure the impulse itself is moving in the trade’s direction.
Stop Loss / Take Profit (%): risk and target in percent.
Exit Style: conservative cross or faster color-change.
RSI / MA / Signal Lengths: adjust responsiveness (defaults are balanced).
________________________________________
💪 Strengths
Confirms reversals using momentum direction, not just divergence.
Avoids “early” signals where momentum is still fading.
Works symmetrically for longs and shorts.
Built-in stop/target protection.
Clear, visual confirmation of all logic components.
________________________________________
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
In sideways markets, the impulse can flip often — prefer conservative exits.
Too small SL/TP → constant stop-outs.
Too wide SL/TP → deep drawdowns.
Always test with different timeframes and markets.
________________________________________
💡 Practical tips
Start with default settings.
Enable “Use Impulse Direction Filter” in trending markets, disable it in very choppy ones.
Focus on Profit Factor, Win Rate, and Max Drawdown after several dozen trades.
Keep SL/TP roughly aligned with typical swing size.
“AlgoWay GRSIM” is a reversal-with-confirmation strategy: it spots likely turns, demands real momentum alignment (optionally verified by impulse direction), and manages exits with clear momentum cues plus built-in protective limits.
First-Move-Wrong Toolkit [CHE] First-Move-Wrong Toolkit — Session-bound sweep rejection with structure confirmation
Summary
This indicator marks potential “first move wrong” reversals during a defined trading session. It looks for a quick sweep beyond the prior day high or low, or the opening range high or low, followed by rejection and a basic structure confirmation. Optional rules require a retest and a VWAP reclaim in the direction of the trade idea. The script renders session levels as right-extended lines, signals as labels, optional SL/TP guide lines for visualization, and background tints during sweep events. Pivots are confirmed using swing width, which reduces repaint risk compared to live swings.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday reversals often start with a liquidity sweep around obvious highs or lows. Acting on the sweep alone can be noisy, while waiting for structure break and a retest can be slow. This tool balances both by checking a sweep and rejection at session-relevant levels, then requiring a simple structure cue and, optionally, a retest and a VWAP filter. The goal is a clear, rule-based signal layer that is easy to audit on chart without hidden state.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Simple sweep detectors or basic CHOCH markers that ignore session context and liquidity anchors.
Architecture differences:
Session-aware opening range tracking that finalizes after the chosen minutes from session start.
Daily previous high and low pulled without lookahead, then extended forward as visual anchors.
Confirmed pivot highs and lows to avoid repaint from live, unconfirmed swings.
Optional retest rule using crossover or crossunder at the trigger level.
Optional VWAP filter to demand reclaim in the intended direction.
Global label cooldown to prevent clusters of signals.
Practical effect: Fewer one-off flips around noisy levels, clearer alignment with session structure, and compact visual feedback through lines, labels, and tints.
How it works (technical)
Levels: During the defined session, the script builds an opening range high and low until the configured minute mark after session start, then freezes those levels for the day. It also fetches the previous day high and low from the daily timeframe without lookahead and extends them forward.
Sweep and rejection: A sweep is defined as price moving beyond a target level and then rejecting back inside on the same bar. The script checks this condition separately for highs and lows against opening range and previous-day levels.
Structure validation: Confirmed pivot highs and lows are computed using a symmetric swing width. A bearish idea requires a prior sweep of a high plus a break through the last confirmed swing low. A bullish idea requires a prior sweep of a low plus a break through the last confirmed swing high.
Optional retest: If enabled, a bearish signal needs a cross under the bearish trigger level; a bullish signal needs a cross over the bullish trigger level.
VWAP filter (optional): The script requires a reclaim of VWAP in the intended direction when enabled.
State handling: Opening range values, previous-day lines, and the label cooldown timestamp are stored in persistent variables. Lines are created once and updated each bar to extend forward.
Repaint considerations: Pivots confirm only after the specified swing width, reducing repaint. The daily level request is performed without lookahead. Signals use closed-bar checks implied by crossover and crossunder logic.
Parameter Guide
Session (local) — Defines the active trading window. Default nine to seventeen. Narrower windows focus on the main session drive.
Opening Range (min) — Minutes from session start to finalize OR levels. Default fifteen. Shorter values react faster; longer values stabilize levels.
Use PrevDay H/L levels — Toggle previous-day anchors. On by default.
Use OR H/L levels — Toggle opening range anchors. On by default.
Equal H/L tolerance (ticks) — Intended tolerance for equal highs or lows. Default one. (Unknown/Optional) in current signals.
Swing width — Bars on both sides for confirmed pivots. Default two. Larger values reduce noise but confirm later.
Require CHOCH after sweep — Enforces structure break after a sweep. On by default.
Prefer retest entries — Requires crossover or crossunder of the trigger level. On by default.
VWAP filter — Demands a reclaim of VWAP in signal direction. Off by default.
TP in R (guide) — Multiplier for visual TP guides. Default one. Visualization only.
Show levels / Show signals / Show R-guides — Rendering toggles. R-guides are visual aids, not orders.
Label cooldown (bars) — Minimum bars between labels. Default five. Higher values reduce clusters.
Palette inputs — Colors and transparencies for levels, labels, VWAP, and tints.
Reading & Interpretation
Lines: Dotted lines represent opening range high and low after the OR window completes. Dashed lines represent previous-day high and low.
Signals: “Long” labels appear after a low-side sweep with rejection and structure confirmation, subject to optional retest and VWAP rules. “Short” labels mirror this on the high side.
Background tints: Red-tinted bars indicate a high-side sweep and rejection. Green-tinted bars indicate a low-side sweep and rejection.
R-guides: Circles display a visual stop level at the bar extreme and a target guide based on the selected multiple. They are informational only.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Session reversal scans: During the first hour, watch for sweeps around previous-day or opening range levels, then wait for structure confirmation and optional retest.
Trend following with filters: Combine signals with higher-timeframe structure or a moving average regime check. Ignore signals against the dominant regime.
Exits and stops: Use the visual stop as a reference near the sweep extreme; adapt the target guide to volatility and market conditions.
Multi-asset / Multi-TF: Works on intraday timeframes for liquid futures, indices, forex, and large-cap equities. Start with default settings and adjust swing width and OR minutes to instrument volatility.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Pivots confirm after the swing window completes. Signals occur only when conditions are met on closed bars.
security()/HTF: Daily previous-day levels are requested without lookahead to reduce repaint.
Resources: Uses persistent variables and line updates per bar; no heavy loops or arrays.
Known limits: Signals can arrive later when swing width is large. Gaps around session boundaries may distort OR levels. VWAP behavior may vary with partial sessions or illiquid assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: Session nine to seventeen, opening range fifteen minutes, swing width two, CHOCH required, retest on, VWAP off, cooldown five bars.
Too many flips: Increase swing width, enable VWAP filter, or raise label cooldown.
Too sluggish: Reduce swing width or shorten the opening range window.
Too many session-level hits: Disable either previous-day levels or opening range levels to simplify context.

Adaptive Trend Breaks Adaptive Trend Breaks
## WHAT IT DOES
This script is a modified and enhanced version of "Trendline Breakouts With Targets" concept by ChartPrime.
Adaptive Trend Breaks (ATB) is a trendline breakout system optimized for scalping liquid futures contracts. The indicator automatically draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on pivot points, then generates trade signals when price breaks through these levels with confirmation filters. It includes automated target and stop-loss placement with real-time P&L tracking in dollars.
## HOW IT WORKS
**Trendline Detection Method:**
The indicator uses pivot high/low detection to identify significant price turning points. When a new pivot forms, it calculates the slope between consecutive pivots to draw dynamic trendlines. These lines extend forward based on the established trend angle, creating actionable support and resistance zones.
**Band System:**
Around each trendline, the script creates a "band" using a volatility-adjusted calculation: `ATR(14) * 0.2 * bandwidth multiplier / 2`. This adaptive band accounts for current market conditions - wider during volatile periods, tighter during quiet markets.
**Breakout Logic:**
A breakout signal triggers when:
1. Price closes beyond the trendline + band zone
2. Volume exceeds the 20-period moving average by your set multiplier (default 1.2x)
3. Price is within Regular Trading Hours (9:30-16:00 EST) if session filter enabled
4. Current ATR meets minimum volatility threshold (prevents trading dead markets)
**Target & Stop Calculation:**
Upon breakout confirmation:
- **Entry**: Trendline breach point
- **Target**: Entry ± (bandwidth × target multiplier) - default 8x for quick scalps
- **Stop**: Entry ± (bandwidth × stop multiplier) - default 8x for 1:1 risk/reward
- Multipliers adjust automatically to market volatility through the ATR-based band
**P&L Conversion:**
The script converts point movements to dollars using:
```
Dollar P&L = (Price Points × Contract Point Value × Quantity)
```
For example, a 10-point NQ move with 2 contracts = 10 × $20 × 2 = $400
## HOW TO USE IT
**Setup:**
1. Select your instrument (NQ/ES/YM/RTY) - point values auto-configure
2. Set contract quantity for accurate dollar P&L
3. Choose pivot period (lower = more signals but more noise, default 5 for scalping)
4. Adjust bandwidth multiplier if trendlines are too tight/loose (1-5 range)
**Filters Configuration:**
- **Volume Filter**: Requires breakout volume > moving average × multiplier. Increase multiplier (1.5-2.0) for higher conviction trades
- **Session Filter**: Enable to trade only RTH. Disable for 24-hour trading
- **ATR Filter**: Prevents signals during low volatility. Increase minimum % for more active markets only
**Risk Management:**
- Set target/stop multipliers based on your risk tolerance
- 8x bandwidth = approximately 1:1 risk/reward for most liquid futures
- Enable trailing stops for trend-following approach (moves stop to protect profits)
- Adjust line length to see targets further into the future
**Statistics Table:**
- Choose timeframe to analyze: all-time, today, this week, custom days
- Monitor win rate, profit factor, and net P&L in dollars
- Track long vs short performance separately
- See real-time unrealized P&L on active trades
**Reading Signals:**
- **Green triangle below bar** = Long breakout (resistance broken)
- **Red triangle above bar** = Short breakout (support broken)
- **White dashed line** = Entry price
- **Orange line** = Take profit target with dollar value
- **Red line** = Stop loss with dollar value
- **Green checkmark (✓)** = Target hit, winning trade
- **Red X (✗)** = Stop hit, losing trade
## WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
**Limitations to Understand:**
- Does not predict future trendline formations - it reacts to breakouts after they occur
- Historical trendlines disappear after breakout (not kept on chart for clarity)
- Requires sufficient volatility - may not signal in extremely quiet markets
- Volume filter requires exchange volume data (not available on all symbols)
- Statistics are indicator-based simulations, not actual trading results
- Does not account for slippage, commissions, or order fills
## BEST PRACTICES
**Recommended Settings by Market:**
- **NQ (Nasdaq)**: Default settings work well, consider volume multiplier 1.3-1.5
- **ES (S&P 500)**: Slightly slower, try period 7-8, volume 1.2
- **YM (Dow)**: Lower volatility, reduce bandwidth to 1.5-2
- **RTY (Russell)**: Higher volatility, increase bandwidth to 3-4
**Risk Management:**
- Never risk more than 2-3% of account per trade
- Use contract quantity calculator: Max Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × Point Value)
- Start with 1 contract while learning the system
- Backtest your specific timeframe and instrument before live trading
**Optimization Tips:**
- Increase pivot period (7-10) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- Raise volume multiplier (1.5-2.0) in choppy markets
- Lower target/stop multipliers (5-6x) for tighter profit taking
- Use trailing stops in strong trending conditions
- Disable session filter for overnight gaps and Asia session moves
## TECHNICAL DETAILS
**Key Calculations:**
- Pivot Detection: `ta.pivothigh(high, period, period/2)` and `ta.pivotlow(low, period, period/2)`
- Slope Calculation: `(newPivot - oldPivot) / (newTime - oldTime)`
- Adaptive Band: `min(ATR(14) * 0.2, close * 0.002) * multiplier / 2`
- Breakout Confirmation: Price crosses trendline + 10% of band threshold
**Data Requirements:**
- Minimum bars in view: 500 for proper pivot calculation
- Volume data required for volume filter accuracy
- Intraday timeframes recommended (1min - 15min) for scalping
- Works on any timeframe but optimized for fast execution
**Performance Metrics:**
All statistics calculate based on indicator signals:
- Tracks every signal as a trade from entry to TP/SL
- P&L in actual contract dollar values
- Win rate = (Winning trades / Total trades) × 100
- Profit factor = Gross profit / Gross loss
- Separates long/short performance for bias analysis
## IDEAL FOR
- Futures scalpers and day traders
- Traders who prefer visual trendline breakouts
- Those wanting automated TP/SL placement
- Traders tracking performance in dollar terms
- Multiple timeframe analysis (compare 1min vs 5min signals)
## NOT SUITABLE FOR
- Swing trading (targets too close)
- Stocks/forex without modifying point values
- Extremely low timeframes (<30 seconds) - too much noise
- Markets without volume data if using volume filter
- Illiquid contracts (signals may not execute at shown prices)

FirstStrike Long 200 - Daily Trend Rider [KedArc Quant]Strategy Description
FirstStrike Long 200 is a disciplined, long-only momentum strategy designed for daily "strike-first" entries in trending markets. It scans for RSI momentum above a customizable trigger (default 50), confirmed by EMA trend filters, and limits you to *exactly one trade per day* to avoid overtrading. It uses ATR for dynamic risk management (1.5x stop, 2:1 RR target) and optional trailing stops to ride winners. Backtested with realistic commissions and sizing, it prioritizes low drawdowns (<1% max in tests) over aggressive gains—ideal for swing traders seeking quality setups in bull runs.
Why It's Different from Other Strategies
Unlike generic RSI crossover bots or EMA ribbon mashups that spam signals and bleed in chop, FirstStrike enforces a "one-and-done" daily gate, blending precision momentum (RSI modes with grace/sustain) with robust filters (volume, sessions, rearm dips).
How It Helps Traders
- Reduces Emotional Trading: One entry/day forces discipline—miss a setup? Wait for tomorrow. Perfect for busy pros avoiding screen fatigue.
- Adapts to Regimes: Switch modes for trends ("Cross+Grace") vs. ranges ("Any bar")—boosts win rates 5-10% in backtests on high-beta names like .
- Risk-First Design: ATR scales stops to vol capping DD at 0.2% while targeting 2R winners. Trailing option locks +3-5% runs without early exits.
- Quick Insights: Labels/alerts flag entries with RSI values; bgcolor highlights signals for visual scanning. Helps spot "first-strike" edges in uptrends, filtering ~60% noise.
Why This Is Not a Mashup
This isn't a Frankenstein of off-the-shelf indicators—while it uses standard RSI/EMA/ATR (core Pine primitives), the innovation lies in:
- Custom Trigger Engine: Switchable modes (e.g., "Cross+Grace+Sustain" requires post-cross hold) prevent perpetual signals, unlike basic `ta.crossover()`.
- Daily Rearm Gate: Resets eligibility only after a dip (if enabled), tying momentum to mean-reversion—original logic not found in common scripts.
- Per-Day Isolation: `var` vars + `ta.change(time("D"))` ensure zero pyramiding/overlaps, beyond simple session filters.
All formulae are derived in-house for "first-strike" (early RSI pops in trends), not copied from public repos.
Input Configurations
Let's break down every input in the FirstStrike Long 200 strategy. These settings let you tweak the strategy like a dashboard—start with defaults for quick testing,
then adjust based on your asset or timeframe (5m for intraday). They're grouped logically to keep things organized, and most have tooltips in the script for quick reminders.
RSI / Trigger Group: The Heart of Momentum Detection
This is where the magic starts—the strategy hunts for "upward energy" using RSI (Relative Strength Index), a tool that measures if a stock is overbought (too hot) or oversold (too cold) on a 0-100 scale.
- RSI Length: How many bars (candles) back to calculate RSI. Default is 14, like a 14-day window for daily charts. Shorter (e.g., 9) makes it snappier for fast markets; longer (21) smooths out noise but misses quick turns.
- Trigger Level (RSI >= this): The key RSI value where the strategy says, "Go time!" Default 50 means enter when RSI crosses or holds above the neutral midline. Why is this trigger required? It acts as your "green light" filter—without it, you'd enter on every tiny price wiggle, leading to endless losers. RSI above this shows building buyer power, avoiding weak or sideways moves. It's essential for quality over quantity, especially in one-trade-per-day setups.
- Trigger Mode: Picks how strict the RSI signal must be. Options: "Cross only" (exact RSI crossover above trigger—super precise, fewer trades); "Cross+Grace" (crossover or within a grace window after—gives a second chance); "Cross+Grace+Sustain" (crossover/grace plus RSI holding steady for bars—best for steady climbs); "Any bar >= trigger" (looser, any bar above—more opportunities but riskier in chop). Start with "Any bar" for trends, switch to "Cross only" for caution.
- Grace Window (bars after cross): If mode allows, how many bars post-RSI-cross you can still enter if RSI dips but recovers. Default 30 (about 2.5 hours on 5m). Zero means no wiggle room—pure precision.
- Sustain Bars (RSI >= trigger): In sustain mode, how many straight bars RSI must stay above trigger. Default 3 ensures it's not a fluke spike.
- Require RSI Dip Below Rearm Before Any Entry?: A yes/no toggle. If on, the strategy "rearms" only after RSI dips below a low level (like a breather), preventing back-to-back signals in overextended rallies.
- Rearm Level (if requireDip=true): The dip threshold for rearming. Default 45—RSI must go below this to reset eligibility. Lower (30) for deeper pullbacks in volatile stocks.
For the trigger level itself, presets matter a lot—default 50 is neutral and versatile for broad trends. Bump to 55-60 for "strong momentum only" (fewer but higher-win trades, great in bull runs like tech surges); drop to 40-45 for "early bird" catches in recoveries (more signals but watch for fakes in ranges). The optimize hint (40-60) lets you test these in TradingView to match your risk—higher presets cut noise by 20-30% in backtests.
Trend / Filters Group: Keeping You on the Right Side of the Market
These EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) act like guardrails, ensuring you only long in uptrends.
- EMA (Fast) Confirmation: Short-term EMA for price action. Default 20 periods—price must be above this for "recent strength." Shorter (10) reacts faster to intraday pops.
- EMA (Trend Filter): Long-term EMA for big-picture trend. Default 200 (classic "above the 200-day" rule)—price above it confirms bull market. Minimum 50 to avoid over-smoothing.
Optional Hour Window Group: Timing Your Strikes
Avoid bad hours like lunch lulls or after-hours tricks.
- Restrict by Session?: Yes/no for using exact market hours. Default off.
- Session (e.g., 0930-1600 for NYSE): Time string like "0930-1600" for open to close. Auto-skips pre/post-market noise.
- Restrict by Hour Range?: Fallback yes/no for simple hours. Default off.
- Start Hour / End Hour: Clock times (0-23). Defaults 9-15 ET—focus on peak volume.
Volume Filter Group: No Volume, No Party
Confirms conviction—big moves need big participation.
- Require Volume > SMA?: Yes/no toggle. Default off—only fires on above-average volume.
- Volume SMA Length: Periods for the average. Default 20—compares current bar to recent norm.
Risk / Exits Group: Protecting and Profiting Smartly
Dynamic stops based on volatility (ATR = Average True Range) keep things realistic.
- ATR Length: Bars for ATR calc. Default 14—measures recent "wiggle room" in price.
- ATR Stop Multiplier: How far below entry for stop-loss. Default 1.5x ATR—gives breathing space without huge risk
- Take-Profit R Multiple: Reward target as multiple of risk. Default 2.0 (2:1 ratio)—aims for twice your stop distance.
- Use Trailing Stop?: Yes/no for profit-locking trail. Default off—activates after entry.
- Trailing ATR Multiplier: Trail distance. Default 2.0x ATR—looser than initial stop to let winners run.
These inputs make the strategy plug-and-play: Defaults work out-of-box for trending stocks, but tweak RSI trigger/modes first for your style.
Always backtest changes—small shifts can flip a 40% win rate to 50%+!
Outputs (Visuals & Alerts):
- Plots: Blue EMA200 (trend line), Orange EMA20 (price filter), Green dashed entry price.
- Labels: Green "LONG" arrow with RSI value on entries.
- Background: Light green highlight on signal bars.
- Alerts: "FirstStrike Long Entry" fires on conditions (integrates with TradingView notifications).
Entry-Exit Logic
Entry (Long Only, One Per Day):
1. Daily Reset: New day clears trade gate and (if required) rearm status.
2. Filters Pass: Time/session OK + Close > EMA200 (trend) + Close > EMA20 (price) + Volume > SMA (if enabled) + Rearmed (dip below rearm if toggled).
3. Trigger Fires: RSI >= trigger via selected mode (e.g., crossover + grace window).
4. Execute: Enter long at close; set daily flag to block repeats.
Exit:
- Stop-Loss: Entry - (ATR * 1.5) – dynamic, vol-scaled.
- Take-Profit: Entry + (Risk * 2.0) – fixed RR.
- Trailing (Optional): Activates post-entry; trails at Close - (ATR * 2.0), updating on each bar for trend extension.
No shorts or hedging—pure long bias.
Formulae Used
- RSI: `ta.rsi(close, rsiLen)` – Standard 14-period momentum oscillator (0-100).
- EMAs: `ta.ema(close, len)` – Exponential moving averages for trend/price filters.
- ATR: `ta.atr(atrLen)` – True range average for stop sizing: Stop = Entry - (ATR * mult).
- Volume SMA: `ta.sma(volume, volLen)` – Simple average for relative strength filter.
- Grace Window: `bar_index - lastCrossBarIndex <= graceBars` – Counts bars since RSI crossover.
- Sustain: `ta.barssince(rsi < trigger) >= sustainBars` – Consecutive bars above threshold.
- Session Check: `time(timeframe.period, sessionStr) != 0` – TradingView's built-in session validator.
- Risk Distance: `riskPS = entry - stop; TP = entry + (riskPS * RR)` – Asymmetric reward calc.
FAQ
Q: Why only one trade/day?
A: Prevents revenge trading in volatile sessions . Backtests show it cuts losers by 20-30% vs. multi-entry bots.
Q: Does it work on all assets/timeframes?
A: Best for trending stocks/indices on 5m-1H. Test on crypto/forex with wider ATR mult (2.0+).
Q: How to optimize?
A: Use TradingView's optimizer on RSI trigger (40-60) and EMA fast (10-30). Aim for PF >1.0 over 1Y data.
Q: Alerts don't fire—why?
A: Ensure `alertcondition` is enabled in script settings. Test with "Any alert() function calls only."
Q: Trailing stop too loose?
A: Tune `trailMult` to 1.5 for tighter; it activates alongside fixed TP/SL for hybrid protection.
Glossary
- Grace Window: Post-RSI-cross period (bars) where entry still allowed if RSI holds trigger.
- Rearm Dip: Optional pullback below a low RSI level (e.g., 45) to "reset" eligibility after signals.
- Profit Factor (PF): Gross profit / gross loss—>1.0 means winners outweigh losers.
- R Multiple: Risk units (e.g., 2R = 2x stop distance as target).
- Sustain Bars: Consecutive bars RSI stays >= trigger for mode confirmation.
Recommendations
- Backtest First: Run on your symbols (/) over 6-12M; tweak RSI to 55 for +5% win rate.
- Live Use: Start paper trading with `useSession=true` and `useVol=true` to filter noise.
- Pairs Well With: Higher TF (daily) for bias; add ADX (>25) filter for strong trends (code snippet in prior chats).
- Risk Note: 10% sizing suits $100k+ accounts; scale down for smaller. Not financial advice—past performance ≠ future.
- Publish Tip: Add tags like "momentum," "RSI," "long-only" on TradingView for visibility.
Strategy Properties & Backtesting Setup
FirstStrike Long 200 is configured with conservative, realistic backtesting parameters to ensure reliable performance simulations. These settings prioritize capital preservation and transparency, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders testing on stocks.
Initial Capital
$100,000 Standard starting equity for portfolio-level testing; scales well for retail accounts. Adjust lower (e.g., $10k) for smaller simulations.
Base Currency
Default (USD) Aligns with most US equities (e.g., NASDAQ symbols); auto-converts for other assets.
Order Size
1 (Quantity) Fixed share contracts for simplicity—e.g., buys 1 share per trade. For % of equity, switch to "Percent of Equity" in strategy code.
Pyramiding
0 Orders No additional entries on open positions; enforces strict one-trade-per-day discipline to avoid overexposure.
Commission
0.1% Realistic broker fee (e.g., Interactive Brokers tier); factors in round-trip costs without over-penalizing winners.
Verify Price for Limit Orders
0 Ticks No slippage delay on TPs—assumes ideal fills for historical accuracy.
Slippage
0 Ticks Zero assumed slippage for clean backtests; real-world trading may add 1-2 ticks on volatile opens.
These defaults yield low drawdowns (<0.3% max in tests) while capturing trend edges. For live trading, enable slippage (1-3 ticks) to mimic execution gaps. Always forward-test before deploying!

Macro Momentum – 4-Theme, Vol Target, RebalanceMacro Momentum — 4-Theme, Vol Target, Rebalance
Purpose. A macro-aware strategy that blends four economic “themes”—Business Cycle, Trade/USD, Monetary Policy, and Risk Sentiment—into a single, smoothed Composite signal. It then:
gates entries/exits with hysteresis bands,
enforces optional regime filters (200-day bias), and
sizes the position via volatility targeting with caps for long/short exposure.
It’s designed to run on any chart (index, ETF, futures, single stocks) while reading external macro proxies on a chosen Signal Timeframe.
How it works (high level)
Build four theme signals from robust macro proxies:
Business Cycle: XLI/XLU and Copper/Gold momentum, confirmed by the chart’s price vs a long SMA (default 200D).
Trade / USD: DXY momentum (sign-flipped so a rising USD is bearish for risk assets).
Monetary Policy: 10Y–2Y curve slope momentum and 10Y yield trend (steepening & falling 10Y = risk-on; rising 10Y = risk-off).
Risk Sentiment: VIX momentum (bearish if higher) and HYG/IEF momentum (bullish if credit outperforms duration).
Normalize & de-noise.
Optional Winsorization (MAD or stdev) clamps outliers over a lookback window.
Optional Z-score → tanh mapping compresses to ~ for stable weighting.
Theme lines are SMA-smoothed; the final Composite is LSMA-smoothed (linreg).
Decide direction with hysteresis.
Enter/hold long when Composite ≥ Entry Band; enter/hold short when Composite ≤ −Entry Band.
Exit bands are tighter than entry bands to avoid whipsaws.
Apply regime & direction constraints.
Optional Long-only above 200MA (chart symbol) and/or Short-only below 200MA.
Global Direction control (Long / Short / Both) and Invert switch.
Size via volatility targeting.
Realized close-to-close vol is annualized (choose 9-5 or 24/7 market profile).
Target exposure = TargetVol / RealizedVol, capped by Max Long/Max Short multipliers.
Quantity is computed from equity; futures are rounded to whole contracts.
Rebalance cadence & execution.
Trades are placed on Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly rebalance bars or when the sign of exposure flips.
Optional ATR stop/TP for single-stock style risk management.
Inputs you’ll actually tweak
General
Signal Timeframe: Where macro is sampled (e.g., D/W).
Rebalance Frequency: Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly.
ROC & SMA lengths: Defaults for theme momentum and the 200D regime filter.
Normalization: Z-score (tanh) on/off.
Winsorization
Toggle, lookback, multiplier, MAD vs Stdev.
Risk / Sizing
Target Annualized Vol & Realized Vol Lookback.
Direction (Long/Short/Both) and Invert.
Max long/short exposure caps.
Advanced Thresholds
Theme/Composite smoothing lengths.
Entry/Exit bands (hysteresis).
Regime / Execution
Long-only above 200MA, Short-only below 200MA.
Stops/TP (optional)
ATR length and SL/TP multiples.
Theme Weights
Per-theme scalars so you can push/pull emphasis (e.g., overweight Policy during rate cycles).
Macro Proxies
Symbols for each theme (XLI, XLU, HG1!, GC1!, DXY, US10Y, US02Y, VIX, HYG, IEF). Swap to alternatives as needed (e.g., UUP for DXY).
Signals & logic (under the hood)
Business Cycle = ½ ROC(XLI/XLU) + ½ ROC(Copper/Gold), then confirmed by (price > 200SMA ? +1 : −1).
Trade / USD = −ROC(DXY).
Monetary Policy = 0.6·ROC(10Y–2Y) − 0.4·ROC(10Y).
Risk Sentiment = −0.6·ROC(VIX) + 0.4·ROC(HYG/IEF).
Each theme → (optional Winsor) → (robust z or scaled ROC) → tanh → SMA smoothing.
Composite = weighted average → LSMA smoothing → compare to bands → dir ∈ {−1,0,+1}.
Rebalance & flips. Orders fire on your chosen cadence or when the sign of exposure changes.
Position size. exposure = clamp(TargetVol / realizedVol, maxLong/Short) × dir.
Note: The script also exposes Gross Exposure (% equity) and Signed Exposure (× equity) as diagnostics. These can help you audit how vol-targeting and caps translate into sizing over time.
Visuals & alerts
Composite line + columns (color/intensity reflect direction & strength).
Entry/Exit bands with green/red fills for quick polarity reads.
Hidden plots for each Theme if you want to show them.
Optional rebalance labels (direction, gross & signed exposure, σ).
Background heatmap keyed to Composite.
Alerts
Enter/Inc LONG when Composite crosses up (and on rebalance bars).
Enter/Inc SHORT when Composite crosses down (and on rebalance bars).
Exit to FLAT when Composite returns toward neutral (and on rebalance bars).
Practical tips
Start higher timeframes. Daily signals with Monthly rebalance are a good baseline; weekly signals with quarterly rebalances are even cleaner.
Tune Entry/Exit bands before anything else. Wider bands = fewer trades and less noise.
Weights reflect regime. If policy dominates markets, raise Monetary Policy weight; if credit stress drives moves, raise Risk Sentiment.
Proxies are swappable. Use UUP for USD, or futures-continuous symbols that match your data plan.
Futures vs ETFs. Quantity auto-rounds for futures; ETFs accept fractional shares. Check contract multipliers when interpreting exposure.
Caveats
Macro proxies can repaint at the selected signal timeframe as higher-TF bars form; that’s intentional for macro sampling, but test live.
Vol targeting assumes reasonably stationary realized vol over the lookback; if markets regime-shift, revisit volLook and targetVol.
If you disable normalization/winsorization, themes can become spikier; expect more hysteresis band crossings.
What to change first (quick start)
Set Signal Timeframe = D, Rebalance = Monthly, Z-score on, Winsor on (MAD).
Entry/Exit bands: 0.25 / 0.12 (defaults), then nudge until trade count and turnover feel right.
TargetVol: try 10% for diversified indices; lower for single stocks, higher for vol-sell strategies.
Leave weights = 1.0 until you’ve inspected the four theme lines; then tilt deliberately.
NY Open OR/ATR Diff Planner – v2.8 NY Open OR/ATR Diff Planner – v2.8 (Hi-Contrast)
Trade the Opening Range Breakout with a plan, not vibes.
This tool builds the NY Opening Range (OR) from the cash open and overlays a complete, risk-based execution plan: precise entry, structural stop, position size, targets, and R:R — all tied to the Daily ATR(14) and the remaining ATR “fuel” left in the day.
What it does
Opening Range: First N minutes after 09:30 ET (choose 5/15/30/60).
Today-only lines: Automatically resets at 09:30; no carry-over from prior days.
Session aware: Works on RTH or ETH charts. OR always anchors at 09:30 ET.
Fuel model: Computes Session Range (since 09:30) and ATR Diff Left = Daily ATR − Session Range.
Entries & Stops:
Long plan: Entry = ORH, Stop = ORL
Short plan: Entry = ORL, Stop = ORH
Targets:
TP1 = 1R (distance of entry→stop)
TP (ATR-diff cap): Entry ± ATR Diff Left (caps greed when the day’s ATR is nearly spent)
Sizing & R:R: Position size = Account × Risk% / Risk per share, with live R:R to ATR-diff target.
Hi-contrast table: Clear readout of Daily ATR, OR size, OR/ATR%, Session Range, ATR left, entries/stops/TPs, size, and max $ risk.
Inputs
Opening Range (minutes): 5 / 15 / 30 / 60
Account Size ($) and Risk % per trade
Session mode: RTH (09:30–16:00) or ETH (chart’s session; still anchored at 09:30)
Also show Short plan (toggle)
Show info table (toggle)
How to use
Add on a 1–5m chart.
Choose your OR window (e.g., 15m = 09:30–09:45).
Set Account Size and Risk % (e.g., 4–5% for small accounts; adjust to taste).
Wait for the OR to complete.
Trade the break/retest with the levels shown:
Long: Break of ORH, SL at ORL, TP1 = 1R, TP2 = ATR-diff cap.
Short: Mirror logic.
If OR/ATR% > ~50% (red), the “fuel” is thin — be selective.
Why it helps build an edge
Objective structure: Clear levels and sizing remove guesswork.
Context-aware targets: ATR-diff keeps targets realistic to the day’s potential.
Discipline by design: One framework that’s easy to review, journal, and iterate.
Notes
This is an indicator (visual planner), not an order-placing strategy.
If you want a back testable version (one trade/day, optional retest rule, TP/SL logic), say the word — I can publish a strategy variant.

Apex Edge – Wolfe Wave HunterApex Edge – Wolfe Wave Hunter
The modern Wolfe Wave, rebuilt for the algo era
This isn’t just another Wolfe Wave indicator. Classic Wolfe detection is rigid, outdated, and rarely tradable. Apex Edge – Wolfe Wave Hunter re-engineers the pattern into a modern, SMC-driven model that adapts to today’s liquidity-dominated markets. It’s not about drawing pretty shapes – it’s about extracting precision entries with asymmetric risk-to-reward potential.
🔎 What it does
Automatic Wolfe Wave Detection
Identifies bullish and bearish Wolfe Wave structures using pivot-based logic, symmetry filters, and slope tolerances.
Channel Glow Zones
Highlights the Wolfe channel and projects it forward into the future (bars are user-defined). This allows you to see the full potential of the trade before price even begins its move.
Stop Loss (SL) & Entry Arrow
At the completion of Wave 5, the algo prints a Stop Loss line and a tiny entry arrow (green for bullish, red for bearish). but the colours can be changed in user settings. This is the “execution point” — where the Wolfe setup becomes tradable.
Target Projection Lines
TP1 (EPA): Derived from the traditional 1–4 line projection.
TP2 (1.272 Fib): Optional secondary profit target.
TP3 (1.618 Fib): Optional extended target for large runners.
All TP lines extend into the future, so you can track them as price evolves.
Volume Confirmation (optional)
A relative volume filter ensures Wave 5 is formed with meaningful market participation before a setup is confirmed.
Alerts (ready out of the box)
Custom alerts can be fired whenever a bullish or bearish Wolfe Wave is confirmed. No need to babysit the charts — let the script notify you.
⚙️ Customisation & User Control
Every trader’s market and style is different. That’s why Wolfe Wave Hunter is fully customisable:
Arrow Colours & Size
Works on both light and dark charts. Choose your own bullish/bearish entry arrow colours for maximum visibility.
Tolerance Levels
Adjust symmetry and slope tolerance to refine how strict the channel rules are.
Tighter settings = fewer but cleaner zones.
Looser settings = more frequent setups, but with slightly lower structural quality.
Channel Glow Projection
Define how many bars forward the channel is drawn. This controls how far into the future your Wolfe zones are extended.
Stop Loss Line Length
Keep the SL visible without it extending infinitely across your chart.
Take Profit Line Colors
Each TP projection can be styled to your preference, allowing you to clearly separate TP1, TP2, and TP3.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool. You can shape Wolfe detection logic to match the pairs, timeframes, and market conditions you trade most.
🚀 Why it’s different
Classic Wolfe waves are rare — this script adapts the model into something practical and tradeable in modern markets.
Liquidity-aligned — many setups align with structural sweeps of Wave 3 liquidity before driving into profit.
Entry built-in — most Wolfe scripts only draw the structure. Wolfe Wave Hunter gives you a precise entry point, SL, and projected TPs.
Backtest-friendly — you’ll quickly discover which assets respect Wolfe waves and which don’t, creating your own high-probability Wolfe watchlist.
⚠️ Limitations & Disclaimer
Not all markets respect Wolfe Waves. Some FX pairs, metals, and indices respect the structure beautifully; others do not. Backtest and create your own shortlist.
No guaranteed sweeps. Many entries occur after a liquidity sweep of Wave 3, but not all. The algo is designed to detect Wolfe completion, not enforce textbook liquidity rules.
Probabilistic, not predictive. Wolfe setups don’t win every time. Always use risk management.
High-RR focus. This is not a high-frequency tool. It’s designed for precision, asymmetric setups where risk is small and reward potential is large.
✅ The Bottom Line
Apex Edge – Wolfe Wave Hunter is a modern reimagination of the Wolfe Wave. It blends structural geometry, liquidity dynamics, and algo-driven execution into a single tool that:
Detects the pattern automatically
Provides SL, entry, and TP levels
Offers alerts for hands-off trading
Allows deep customisation for different markets
When it hits, it delivers outstanding risk-to-reward. Backtest, refine your tolerances, and build your watchlist of assets where Wolfe structures consistently pay.
This isn’t just Wolfe detection — it’s Wolfe trading, rebuilt for the modern trader.

Iani SMC Sniper XAU v2.2 (Long+Short + News Countdown, v6)Iani SMC Sniper XAU (v2.2) — smart-money logic for XAUUSD.
This indicator hunts “sniper entries” using a simple SMC sequence:
Sweep → BOS → 50% FVG entry
• After London session builds its range, we wait for a liquidity sweep (price dips below London Low for longs / wicks above London High for shorts).
• A BOS confirms direction (close breaks the last swing).
• First FVG that prints after BOS gives the entry at 50% (mid-gap).
• SL anchored to the protective swing (with a small safety buffer). TP is plotted using your Risk:Reward.
News countdown (non-blocking):
The script does not auto-fetch news; you set daily times (e.g., 14:30, 16:00) and/or specific dates (“YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM”). A countdown label shows “NEWS in Xm”. Signals are not blocked—this is just a safety heads-up for prop-firm rules.
Inputs: pivot length, RR, pip size (XAU default 0.10), session filter (after London), news times (recurring & absolute), show/hide levels & labels.
Plots & labels: London High/Low (daily), Entry/SL/TP lines, BOS/Sweep/BUY/SELL markers, news badge.
Alerts: BOS Bull/Bear, BUY/SELL Entry touch, TP/SL hit, NEWS WARNING.
Notes:
• Designed for XAUUSD intraday; works on other symbols if you adjust pip size.
• Uses symbol timezone; adjust your news times for DST if needed.
• Indicator only—no orders, no backtest. Manage risk and execution in MT5/your platform.
Changelog (v2.2): Pine v6, robust time parsing, one-line logical expressions (fixed EOL errors), mirrored short logic, cleaner London H/L reset, countdown label.

Jimb0ws Strategy Trending Info PanelsJimb0ws Strategy — Golden Candles + Bubble Zones
A price-action/EMA strategy built for FX scalping and intraday swings. It colors Golden Candles when strong bodies touch/skim EMA20/50 in trend (“bubble”) and optionally highlights Robin Candles (break of the prior golden body). Signals are throttled per bubble and filtered by multiple higher-timeframe conditions.
How it trades
Trend bubbles: Uses EMA20/50/100/200 alignment on the chart timeframe; also reads 1H & 4H bubbles for context.
Entries: BUY/SELL labels appear only when a golden setup aligns with fractal/structure checks and all active filters pass.
Stops/Targets (strategy mode):
• Longs: SL = EMA100 if EMA200 > EMA100, else SL = EMA200.
• Shorts: SL = EMA100 if EMA200 < EMA100, else SL = EMA200.
• TP = RR × risk (default 2R).
An on-chart SL/TP info label prints the exact prices at each signal.
Risk filter options: disable beyond 1H EMA50, proximity band around 1H EMA50, wick overdrive veto, session filter (toggle on/off), max signals per bubble.
Visuals & tools
Colored EMAs (20/50/100/200), bubble zone background.
4H info panel (state, start time, duration); Prev-Day ATR panel sits above it.
Optional 1H info panel and consolidation warning.
Fractal markers (size selectable).
Alerts
1H bubble state change (Long/Short/Consolidation).
BUY/SELL signals.
Inputs worth checking
Session & timezone, min body size, pip tolerances, proximity/WOD filters, max signals per bubble, RR, SL/TP label offset.
Notes
Best on FX pairs; pip = mintick × 10. Backtest and adjust to your instrument and session. This is not financial advice.
Scalper SMA-RSI-MACD – Entry/Exit Signals v2Scalper SMA–RSI–MACD Strategy (Intraday) – Indicator Version
This is an intraday scalping and short-term trading tool designed for manual trading. It provides entry and exit signals based on a combination of trend, momentum, and volatility-based risk management.
Core Components
Trend Filter (Optional)
Uses an EMA (default 200) and an SMA ribbon (5/8/13) to identify the primary trend direction.
Only allows long trades in uptrend and short trades in downtrend (can be turned off for more signals).
Entry Conditions
RSI Pullback: Detects oversold (for long) or overbought (for short) conditions based on a short RSI (default length = 4).
MACD Momentum Turn: Detects bullish or bearish MACD crossovers or momentum shifts.
Both conditions must occur within a specified lookback period (default = last 3 bars).
Stop Loss (SL) Placement
SL is placed at a fixed multiple of the ATR (Average True Range) from the entry price (default = 1.5 × ATR).
Adjusting the multiplier changes how far the SL is placed.
Take Profit (TP) Levels
Two targets: TP1 and TP2, each based on R-multiples of the SL distance.
Default: TP1 = 1 × risk (1:1 R/R), TP2 = 2 × risk (1:2 R/R).
Exit Modes (Selectable)
TP1 or SL
TP2 or SL
Opposite signal (exit when the opposite entry condition appears)
Session Filter (Optional)
Can restrict trading signals to specific market hours (default off for more signals).
Signals and Alerts
Displays LONG and SHORT arrows for entries.
Plots SL and TP levels on the chart.
Marks exits as TP, SL, or opposite signal.
Built-in alertcondition() allows creating TradingView alerts for all entry and exit events.
Typical Usage
Works best on 1-minute to 5-minute charts for scalping; can be adapted to higher timeframes for swing trading.
Ideal for manual execution — the trader sees the signal, checks market conditions, and decides whether to enter.
Can be tuned for more or fewer signals by adjusting RSI thresholds, MACD lookback, and trend filter settings.
Painel Técnico (4H x 1D) — Clean UI + Alertas BrenoG📋 Main Functions
1️⃣ Analysis in two fixed timeframes
4 hours and 1 day analyzed in parallel.
Each column in the table displays the data for its respective timeframe.
2️⃣ Entry point based on oversold conditions
The “entry point” is not the current price, but rather the last candle that went into oversold territory (RSI ≤ configured threshold).
If there has been no recent oversold condition, the current price is used as a fallback.
All calculations (Buy Zone, Stops, TPs) are based on this point.
3️⃣ Buy Zone
Defined as:
java
Copiar
Editar
Low Zone = entry * (1 - width%)
High Zone = entry
Always visible in the table, but alerts can be set to trigger only if RSI is oversold at the moment of entry.
4️⃣ Automatic Stops
Moderate Stop and Conservative Stop, calculated as a % below the entry point.
Displayed in the table with black text on a gray background for emphasis.
Alerts trigger when price crosses below these levels.
5️⃣ Take Profits (TP1–TP4)
Calculated from the entry point:
By percentage (usePercentTP = true) or
By fixed prices (usePercentTP = false).
The table displays:
Target price
% gain over the entry point
They only appear when RSI > 50 and EMA50 > EMA200 (the “alignment” condition).
Alerts trigger only on breakouts upward.
6️⃣ Context Indicators
RSI → shows numeric value and green/red color.
MACD → indicates if the MACD line is above or below the signal line.
EMAs 50/200 → indicates “Golden Cross” or “Death Cross”.
Price vs EMA200 → dedicated row showing “Above” or “Below EMA 200” with green/red color.
7️⃣ Visual Panel
Semi–transparent dark gray background, thin borders.
Colored header:
Blue for 4H
Orange for 1D
Rows separated by data type for easy reading.
Configurable font size (tiny to large).
Table position configurable (top_left, top_right, etc.).
8️⃣ Integrated Alerts
Entry/Exit of Buy Zone
Touch of each TP
Touch of each Stop
RSI entering Oversold
All alerts are separated by timeframe with clear, fixed messages.
📌 Simple Summary:
It’s an intelligent panel that combines multi–timeframe technical analysis, automatic calculation of entries/stops/TPs based on oversold conditions, and ready–to–use alerts — all presented in a visual, compact, and fully configurable format.
VHX EMA 135/315📈 EMA 135/315 Cross Strategy – Your Trend Compass with Smart Confirmations
🔍 Core Idea
The EMA 135/315 Cross strategy is a trend-following system.
It tracks two moving averages:
EMA 135 → the “fast” line that reacts to short-term price moves
EMA 315 → the “slow” line that reacts to the bigger trend
When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA → market momentum is turning up → BUY signal 🟢
When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA → momentum is turning down → SELL signal 🔴
This gives you a clear entry trigger — no guessing, no overcomplication.
✨ On Your Chart
BUY/SELL Arrows
🟢 Green arrow = bullish cross → trend turning up
🔴 Red arrow = bearish cross → trend turning down

EMA Distance Meter
Big % gap = strong trend momentum 🚀
Small % gap = weak or sideways market ⚠️
Real-Time Alerts
You get notified when a cross happens, even if you’re away from the screen
🧠 The Logic Behind It
The EMA 135 reacts faster → it reflects short-term momentum
The EMA 315 moves slower → it reflects the main trend
When the fast EMA overtakes the slow EMA: short-term strength now aligns with the long-term trend → higher probability of a sustained move
The gap % tells you how strong the alignment is — large gap = cleaner moves, small gap = market in transition
“Approaching” status warns that the EMAs are converging, which often happens before a reversal
📊 Boosting the Strategy with Volume Analysis
The EMA cross is a strong trigger, but volume confirms the quality of the move:
High Volume + Cross → more reliable signal, as strong market participation is pushing the trend
Low Volume + Cross → caution, the move might be weak or a false breakout
💡 Tip:
Check the volume histogram or a volume-based indicator (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV).
On a BUY signal: volume should spike above the recent average.
On a SELL signal: watch for strong selling volume bars.
📍 Adding Support & Resistance for Precision
Support and resistance levels help filter out bad trades and optimize entries:
Best BUY setups:
EMA 135 crosses above EMA 315 near a known support zone
Bonus if volume confirms the move
Avoid buying directly into a strong resistance
Best SELL setups:
EMA 135 crosses below EMA 315 near a known resistance zone
Bonus if selling volume is strong
Avoid selling directly into a major support
💡 Use tools like horizontal lines, previous highs/lows, and Volume Profile nodes to spot these zones.
📈 Best Usage Practices
Timeframes
Lower timeframes (1m–5m) → more signals, but more noise → best for scalping with extra filters
Always Combine With Confirmation
EMA Cross = Trigger
Volume spike = Confirmation
S/R zone in your favor = High-probability setup
Manage Risk
Start with the built-in TP/SL
Adjust SL if volatility is higher than usual
Consider trailing stop once price moves in your favor
Avoid Sideways Markets
If EMA gap % is very small and crosses happen often → stand aside until a clear direction forms
Use Alerts
Set alerts for BUY & SELL crosses so you never miss a setup
In short:
This isn’t just an EMA cross indicator — it’s a trend system with built-in risk management, strength measurement, and pre-trade preparation. Combine it with volume confirmation and smart use of support/resistance, and you turn a simple signal into a high-probability trading edge.
Options Strategy V2.0📈 Options Strategy V2.0 – Intraday Reversal-Resilient Momentum System
Overview:
This strategy is designed specifically for intraday SPY, TSLA, MSFT, etc. options trading (0DTE or 1DTE), using high-probability signals derived from a confluence of technical indicators: EMA crossovers, RSI thresholds, ATR-based risk control, and volume spikes. The strategy aims to capture strong directional moves while avoiding overtrading, thanks to a built-in cooldown logic and optional time/session filters.
⚙️ Core Concept
The strategy executes trades only in the direction of the prevailing trend, determined by short- and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Entry signals are generated when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms momentum in the direction of the trend, and volume spikes suggest institutional activity.
To increase adaptability and user control, it includes a highly customizable parameter set for both long and short entries independently.
📌 Key Features
✅ Trend-Following Logic
Long entries are only allowed when EMA(short) > EMA(long)
Short entries are only allowed when EMA(short) < EMA(long)
✅ RSI Confirmation
Long: Requires RSI crossover above a configurable threshold
Short: Requires RSI crossunder below a configurable threshold
Optional rejection filters: Entry blocked above/below specific RSI extremes
✅ Volume Spike Filter
Confirms institutional participation by comparing current volume to an average multiplied by a user-defined factor.
✅ ATR-Based Risk Management
Both Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) are dynamically calculated using ATR × a multiplier.
TP/SL ratio is fully configurable.
✅ Cooldown Control
After every trade, the system waits for a set number of bars before allowing new entries.
This prevents overtrading and increases signal quality.
Optionally, cooldown is ignored for reversal trades, ensuring the system can react immediately to a confirmed trend change.
✅ Candle Body Filter (Noise Control)
Avoids trades on candles with too small bodies relative to wicks (often noise or indecision candles).
✅ VWAP Confirmation (Optional)
Ensures price is trading above VWAP for long entries, or below for short entries.
✅ Time & Session Filters
Trades only during regular market hours (09:30–16:00 EST).
No-trade zone (e.g., 14:15–15:45 EST) to avoid low-liquidity traps or late-day whipsaws.
✅ End-of-Day Auto Close
All open positions are force-closed at 15:55 EST, protecting against overnight risk (especially relevant for 0DTE options).
📊 Visual Aids
EMA plots show trend direction
VWAP line provides real-time mean-reversion context
Stop Loss and Take Profit lines appear dynamically with each trade
Alerts notify of entry signals and exit triggers
🔧 Customization Panel
Nearly every element of the strategy can be tailored:
EMA lengths (short and long, for both sides)
RSI thresholds and length
ATR length, SL multiplier, and TP/SL ratio
Volume spike sensitivity
Minimum EMA distance filter
Candle body ratio filter
Session restrictions
Cooldown logic (duration + reversal exception)
This makes the strategy extremely versatile, allowing both conservative and aggressive configurations depending on the trader’s profile and the market context.
📌 Example Use Case: SPY Options (0DTE or 1DTE)
This system was designed and tested specifically for SPY and other intraday options trading, where:
Delta is around 0.50 or higher
Trades are short-lived (often 1–5 candles)
You aim to trade 1–3 signals per day, filtering out weak entries
🚫 Important Notes
It is not a scalping strategy; it relies on confirmed breakouts with trend support
No pyramiding or re-entries without cooldown to preserve risk integrity
Should be used with real-time alerts and manual broker execution
📈 Alerts Included
📈 Long Entry Signal
📉 Short Entry Signal
⚠️ Auto-closed all positions at 15:55 EST
✅ Proven Settings – Real Trades + Backtest Results
The current version of the strategy includes the optimal settings I’ve arrived at through extensive backtesting, as well as 3 months of real trading with consistent profitability. These results reflect real-world execution under live market conditions using 0DTE SPY options, with disciplined trade management and risk control.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Options Strategy V2.0 is a robust, highly tunable intraday strategy that blends momentum, trend-following, and volume confirmation. It is ideal for disciplined traders focused on SPY or other 0DTE/1DTE options, and it includes guardrails to reduce false signals and improve execution timing.
Perfect for those who seek precision, flexibility, and risk-defined setups—not blind automation.
