ATR Volatility RegimeATR Volatility Regime
A volatility classification indicator that uses ATR (Average True Range) percentile ranking to identify LOW , NORMAL , HIGH , or EXTREME volatility conditions.
Displayed as a separate pane oscillator (0–100 scale) with colored zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 WHY THIS INDICATOR?
Most volatility indicators show raw ATR — a number without context. Is ATR = 50 high or low? Depends on the asset and recent history.
This indicator answers: "Is current volatility high or low for THIS asset, right now?"
What it adds over standard ATR:
Percentile context — Compares current ATR to its own history
Regime classification — Actionable labels instead of raw numbers
Visual zones — Instant read without interpretation
Optional MTF — Lock to a fixed timeframe while viewing another
Auto-adapts — Works on any asset without manual threshold tuning
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 CORE CONCEPTS
ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility in price units — how much an asset typically moves per bar. Directionless (magnitude only, not direction).
Calculation:
True Range = the greatest of:
High − Low (current bar's range)
|High − Previous Close| (gap up captured)
|Low − Previous Close| (gap down captured)
ATR = Moving average of True Range over N bars (default: 14)
Percentile Rank (Pctl)
Answers: "What percentage of historical values is the current value greater than?"
Pctl = 0% → Lowest ATR in lookback period (extreme compression)
Pctl = 50% → Median ATR (typical volatility)
Pctl = 100% → Highest ATR in lookback period (extreme expansion)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT IT DOES
Classifies current volatility into four regimes:
LOW (< 25th percentile) — Compression, breakout likely brewing
NORMAL (25th–50th percentile) — Typical market conditions
HIGH (50th–75th percentile) — Elevated volatility, use caution
EXTREME (> 75th percentile) — Rare expansion, tighten stops or stay flat
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
LOW Volatility (Pctl < 25%):
Market compressed — "calm before the storm"
Watch for breakout setups
Pctl = 0% often precedes significant moves
NORMAL Volatility (Pctl 25–50%):
Typical conditions
Standard position sizing and stops
HIGH Volatility (Pctl 50–75%):
Elevated movement — reduce size
Widen stops to avoid noise
EXTREME Volatility (Pctl > 75%):
Rare, intense conditions
Avoid new entries or tighten risk
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ SETTINGS

📋 SUGGESTED LOOKBACK BY ASSET
Crypto — 100 bars (fast regime shifts)
Stocks — 252 bars (one trading year)
Forex — 100–150 bars
Commodities — 150–200 bars (seasonal patterns)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 ALERTS
Vol → EXTREME
Vol → HIGH
Vol → LOW
Vol exits HIGH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Stop-Loss Sizing:
Use raw ATR for stops. Example: Stop = Entry − (1.5 × ATR)
Position Sizing:
Reduce size when percentile is HIGH or EXTREME.
Entry Filtering:
LOW regime = prepare for breakout
EXTREME regime = avoid new entries
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 NOTES
Works on any timeframe — adapts to chart or locks to fixed TF
ATR is non-directional — magnitude only
Percentile auto-adapts to each asset's volatility profile
Not a standalone signal — combine with trend/regime filters

HTB NY Session VWAP with Prev CloseVisual Distinction: The current VWAP is a bold pink line that moves with price, while the previous VWAP appears as a static, thin gray line, providing a clear "anchor" from yesterday's value.
Many institutional traders look for "Value Area" relationships. If today's price opens above the Previous Session VWAP, the market is considered "internally bullish." If it fails to hold that level and crosses below it, it often signals a "mean reversion" or a trend reversal.
Would you like me to add an alert that triggers specifically when the current price touches the Previous Session VWAP line?
Quant Stats: Alpha, Beta, R2Quant Stats Indicator for TradingView: Alpha, Beta, and R-Squared
Overview
The Quant Stats Indicator is a professional-grade Pine Script tool designed for quantitative traders and hedge fund managers who need real-time analysis of stock or ETF performance against a benchmark using three fundamental CAPM metrics: Beta, R-Squared, and Alpha.
This indicator calculates three critical measurements that answer every quant trader's core questions: How volatile is this asset relative to my benchmark? How much of its performance is independent of the benchmark? And how much excess return am I achieving after adjusting for risk?
The Three Metrics Explained
Beta (β) measures systematic risk and volatility relative to your chosen benchmark. A Beta of 1.0 means the asset moves in lockstep with the benchmark. A Beta above 1.0 indicates higher volatility—if the market rises 10%, a Beta-1.5 asset should rise 15%. Conversely, a Beta below 1.0 indicates lower volatility, making it a defensive position. This metric helps you understand how much market exposure you're truly taking.
R-Squared (R²) quantifies what percentage of an asset's price movement can be explained by benchmark movements. An R² of 0.95 means 95% of the asset's moves are driven by the benchmark, leaving only 5% unexplained. Conversely, an R² of 0.2 means 80% of the asset's movement is independent of the benchmark. This distinction is crucial: high R² is desirable for passive index tracking but indicates weak alpha potential; low R² reveals genuine independent returns, exactly what active managers seek.
Alpha (α) reveals Jensen's Alpha—the excess risk-adjusted return after accounting for the return you "should" earn given your Beta exposure. A positive Alpha of 15% means you're outperforming the market by 15 percentage points after adjusting for systematic risk. This is the holy grail of stock picking: pure skill-driven excess return, not luck from market exposure.
How to Use It
Configure four key inputs: your benchmark ticker (default SPY, but use QQQ for tech-focused analysis or sector-specific ETFs), the lookback period in days, and the risk-free rate reflecting current Treasury yields. The lookback period is critical. Use 20 days for tactical trading to capture short-term sentiment and beta spikes; use 63 days for swing trading and quarterly rebalancing; use 252 days for structural asset allocation decisions.
The indicator plots Beta as a blue line, R-Squared as a red shaded background area, and Alpha as a green line in a sub-panel. Reference gridlines appear at Beta = 1.0 (market-equivalent volatility) and Alpha = 0.0 (breakeven performance), making interpretation intuitive.
Practical Applications
For swing traders monitoring a 63-day window, seek positions with low Beta (below 0.8) and positive Alpha—these are defensive winners. Avoid high Beta (above 1.2) with low R² unless you specifically want high-volatility speculation. Long/short hedge funds should use a 20-day lookback to detect regime changes: sudden Beta spikes often precede correlation breakdowns, while R² collapses signal rising idiosyncratic risk requiring immediate rebalancing.
For ETF portfolio construction, high R² (above 0.95) indicates index-tracking that doesn't justify active management fees. Low R² (below 0.3) combined with positive Alpha reveals genuine active management skill. The sweet spot is moderate Beta (0.5–0.8) with low R² and positive Alpha—a true diversifier that reduces portfolio volatility while generating independent returns.
Critical Interpretation Rules
A common mistake is assuming high R² is always desirable. It isn't. Passive index funds naturally have high R²; active managers should target low R² with high Alpha. Similarly, don't assume Alpha above 10% is sustainable—short-term Alpha (20–100 days) is inherently volatile and often represents temporary mispricings rather than repeatable skill. Always pair Beta analysis with R² interpretation; Beta alone ignores idiosyncratic risk, liquidity constraints, and tail risk.
Configuration Recommendations
Conservative investors should use SPY as benchmark with a 252-day lookback, targeting Alpha above 3% and Beta below 0.8. Growth-oriented portfolios might use QQQ with a 63-day lookback, targeting 8–12% Alpha and tolerating Beta up to 1.3. Hedge funds pursuing market-neutral strategies should use SPY with a 20-day lookback, set the risk-free rate to 2% (anticipating rate cuts), and target 15%+ Alpha while maintaining Beta below 0.3.
Important Limitations
The indicator is backward-looking; historical statistical relationships may not persist. Shorter lookback periods are noisier but more responsive; longer periods smooth noise but lag regime changes. Choosing the wrong benchmark completely invalidates analysis. Finally, the indicator doesn't account for tail risk or extreme market events where correlations spike unpredictably and Beta becomes unreliable.
Use this tool to separate signal from noise and identify true alpha generators. Apply it consistently, validate results against official fund factsheets, and monitor for 2–4 weeks before making significant portfolio decisions.

Cloud Matrix [CongTrader]Cloud Matrix – Ichimoku Confluence System
Cloud Matrix is a rule-based Ichimoku confluence framework, designed to filter noise and low-probability setups by requiring multi-condition confirmation instead of single signals.
Unlike traditional Ichimoku usage (visual interpretation), this script converts Ichimoku states into a matrix scoring model.
Each setup is validated using 5 structural dimensions:
• Tenkan–Kijun relationship
• Price position vs Kumo
• Kumo polarity (Span A vs Span B)
• Chikou Span confirmation
• Price vs Kijun acceptance
Only when ≥ 3 conditions align, signals are allowed.
🔹 Signal Logic
Cloud Matrix generates two validated signal types:
• TK Cross Signals – Tenkan/Kijun crosses filtered by matrix confirmation
• Kumo Break Signals – Breakouts confirmed by cloud structure and momentum context
All signals can be configured to trigger on candle close to reduce noise and repainting.
🔹 Trend Alignment (Optional)
An optional Higher Timeframe EMA200 filter is included:
• Long signals only in HTF uptrend
• Short signals only in HTF downtrend
This improves consistency by preventing counter-trend trades.
🔹 Presets
Built-in presets allow fast adaptation:
• Traditional Ichimoku
• Crypto Fast
• Crypto Medium
• Custom mode
🔹 Usage
Use Cloud Matrix as a decision filter, not a buy/sell machine:
identify trend → wait for TK cross or Kumo break → confirm matrix alignment → execute with price action and structure-based risk management...

STAX# STAX - MapleStax Candle by Candle Automation
## Overview
STAX is a trend-following indicator that automates the "MapleStax Candle by Candle (CBC)" methodology for futures and equity trading. This system uses a higher timeframe anchor trend combined with lower timeframe execution filters to identify high-probability pullback entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
## How It Works
### 1. Anchor Trend Detection (10-Minute CBC Flip)
The core of this system is the CBC (Candle by Candle) flip logic on the anchor timeframe (default: 10 minutes):
- **Bullish Flip**: Occurs when a 10m candle closes ABOVE the high of the previous 10m candle
- **Bearish Flip**: Occurs when a 10m candle closes BELOW the low of the previous 10m candle
- Once a flip occurs, the trend remains in that direction until an opposite flip happens
The anchor trend is calculated using `request.security()` with `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off` and indexed historical data ` ` to ensure non-repainting behavior. This means signals will not change or disappear after they appear.
### 2. Execution Filters (Current Timeframe)
On your current chart timeframe (recommended: 3 minutes), the indicator applies two key filters:
**EMA Confirmation**:
- For LONG signals: 9-period EMA must be greater than 20-period EMA
- For SHORT signals: 9-period EMA must be less than 20-period EMA
**VWAP Filter** (Strict or Target mode):
- **Strict Mode** (default): Only shows signals when price is on the correct side of VWAP
- LONG signals only above VWAP
- SHORT signals only below VWAP
- **Target Mode**: Shows all valid signals but uses VWAP as the take profit target when price is on the "wrong" side
### 3. Entry Signal Logic
The indicator looks for pullback entries:
- **BUY Signal**: 10m trend is Bullish + EMA 9 > 20 + Current 3m candle is RED (close < open)
- Logic: Wait for a red pullback candle in a bullish trend with bullish EMA alignment
- **SELL Signal**: 10m trend is Bearish + EMA 9 < 20 + Current 3m candle is GREEN (close > open)
- Logic: Wait for a green retracement candle in a bearish trend with bearish EMA alignment
This pullback logic helps you enter after a brief counter-trend move, improving risk/reward compared to chasing breakouts.
### 4. Risk Management
**Stop Loss**: Automatically set at the previous 10-minute candle's low (for longs) or high (for shorts). This represents the last swing point that would invalidate the trend structure.
**Take Profit**:
- When aligned with VWAP: Fixed tick-based target (default: 20 ticks, adjustable)
- When counter to VWAP: Target is VWAP itself, providing a logical profit target
The indicator displays TP and SL levels visually and alerts when they are hit.
### 5. Signal Management
To prevent over-trading, the indicator includes a **cooldown period** (default: 10 bars minimum between signals). This stops signal spam in choppy conditions and forces you to wait for the market to develop before taking another trade.
### 6. Time Session Filters
Two separate trading sessions can be configured with 12-hour clock inputs:
- **Session 1**: Default 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM (New York regular hours)
- **Session 2**: Optional second session for extended hours or different time zones
Signals only appear during enabled sessions, helping you trade during liquid market hours.
## What Makes This Original
This indicator automates a specific methodology (MapleStax CBC) that combines multiple proven concepts:
1. Higher timeframe trend structure (CBC flip logic)
2. Lower timeframe execution timing (EMA filters)
3. Pullback entry strategy (counter-colored candles)
4. Volume-based target selection (VWAP integration)
5. Swing-based stop placement (previous anchor swing points)
The combination of these elements into an automated system with visual feedback and alert functionality is what provides value beyond using these indicators separately.
## How to Use
1. **Choose Your Timeframes**:
- Anchor timeframe: 10 minutes (adjustable) for trend direction
- Execution timeframe: 3-5 minutes recommended for entries
2. **Select VWAP Mode**:
- **Strict Mode**: More conservative, only trades with VWAP bias
- **Target Mode**: More aggressive, uses VWAP as profit target
3. **Configure Sessions**: Enable Session 1 and optionally Session 2 to match your trading hours
4. **Set Risk Parameters**: Adjust take profit ticks based on your instrument and risk tolerance
5. **Watch for Signals**:
- Green "BUY" label below bars = Long entry
- Red "SELL" label above bars = Short entry
- Dashed red line = Stop loss level
- Green "TP ✓" or Red "SL ✗" labels show exit points
6. **Monitor the Status Table**: The table in the top-right shows:
- Current 10m trend direction
- EMA alignment status
- VWAP position
- Active session status
- Current signal state
- Active trade information
7. **Set Alerts**: Use TradingView's alert system with the built-in alert conditions:
- BUY Signal
- SELL Signal
- Take Profit Hit
- Stop Loss Hit
## Best Practices
- **Recommended Timeframes**: 3m execution chart with 10m anchor works well for active trading
- **Instrument Selection**: Works best on liquid futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) and major forex pairs
- **Session Trading**: Enable Session 1 for New York hours; avoid low-volume periods
- **Backtest First**: Always backtest the settings on your specific instrument before live trading
- **Use Realistic Parameters**: Default 20-tick TP is conservative; adjust based on instrument volatility
## Limitations and Warnings
**This indicator does NOT**:
- Guarantee profitable trades (past performance does not indicate future results)
- Account for slippage, commissions, or real-world execution challenges
- Work equally well in all market conditions (performs poorly in low-volume, range-bound markets)
- Replace proper risk management and position sizing
- Provide financial advice
**Repainting**: This indicator is designed to be non-repainting. Signals use indexed historical data from the anchor timeframe, meaning they will not change or disappear after they appear. However, the current bar's status will update in real-time until it closes.
**Market Conditions**: This trend-following pullback system performs best in trending markets with clear directional bias. In choppy, range-bound conditions, expect more false signals despite the cooldown filter.
**Stop Loss Execution**: The stop loss levels shown are theoretical. In fast-moving markets, actual fills may occur at worse prices due to slippage.
## Input Parameters
**Anchor Settings**:
- Anchor Timeframe: Higher timeframe for trend detection (default: 10 minutes)
**EMA Settings**:
- Fast EMA: Short-period EMA for execution bias (default: 9)
- Slow EMA: Long-period EMA for execution bias (default: 20)
**VWAP Settings**:
- Strict VWAP Filter: Toggle between strict filtering and target mode
**Signal Management**:
- Min Bars Between Signals: Cooldown period to prevent spam (default: 10 bars)
**Time Filters**:
- Session 1 & 2: Configure up to two trading sessions with start/end times in 12-hour format
**Risk Management**:
- Take Profit (Ticks): Fixed tick target when aligned with VWAP (default: 20)
**Visual Settings**:
- Show Trend Background: Background color based on 10m trend
- Show Stop Loss Lines: Display SL levels on chart
- Show EMAs: Display 9/20 EMAs on chart
- Show VWAP: Display daily VWAP on chart
## Technical Notes
- Uses Pine Script v5
- Non-repainting implementation via `request.security()` with `lookahead_off` and indexed data
- Suitable for alerts and automated trading integration
- Maximum 50 labels and 50 lines to maintain performance
- Status table updates on each bar close

Baekdoo VWAP & High-Volume Node Momentum Breakout (V6)Indicator Name: Baekdoo VWAP & High-Volume Node Momentum Breakout (V6)
Description Summary: This indicator tracks the interaction between the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)—the market's "fair value"—and the High-Volume Node (Resistance) from the past 20 bars. The goal is to identify "True Breakouts" where the average entry price of all participants, not just the spot price, successfully surmounts a major supply zone.
Key Features:
Annual Cumulative VWAP: Uses a yearly-anchored VWAP to filter out daily noise on 1D charts and provide a stable trend baseline.
Volume-Based Resistance: Identifies the high of the candle with the maximum volume over 20 periods as a critical supply wall.
Institutional Volume Filter: Signals are only triggered when volume exceeds 2x the 5-day average, ensuring significant market interest.
Dual Exit Strategy: Incorporates a 1.5 ATR Trailing Stop for partial profit-taking and a 20 SMA crossunder for a full risk-off exit.
---------------
지표 명칭: 백두 VWAP 매물대 모멘텀 돌파 전략 (V6)
설명 요약: 본 지표는 시장의 평균 합의 가격인 **VWAP(Volume Weighted Average Price)**과 최근 20일간 가장 강력한 거래가 발생한 **매물대(High Volume Node)**의 상호작용을 추적합니다. 단순히 가격이 뚫는 것이 아니라, 시장 참여자들의 평균 단가 자체가 저항선을 넘어서는 '진성 돌파'를 포착하는 데 목적이 있습니다.
주요 특징:
연간 누적 VWAP: 일봉 차트에서의 노이즈를 줄이기 위해 연간 단위로 누적된 평균 단가를 사용합니다.
매물대 저항선: 지난 20일 중 최대 거래량이 터진 봉의 고점을 저항선으로 설정하여, 악성 매물이 쏟아질 수 있는 구간을 시각화합니다.
거래량 필터: 5일 평균 거래량 대비 2배 이상의 거래가 실릴 때만 신호를 발생시켜 기관 및 세력의 개입 여부를 확인합니다.
스마트 엑싯: 1.5 ATR 트레일링 스톱을 통한 수익 보존과 20일 이평선 이탈을 통한 리스크 관리를 동시에 수행합니다.
Market Open, Premarket High, CloseSimple Indicator that places a line at the current day's premarket high, market open and close.
Wick & Body % with upper wick thresholdA simple indicator to give the sizes of wicks and main body of the last candle as percentage of high - low. No negative figures. If the candle is red, the table will be red and vice versa. Table could be located as per user preference. Upper wick threshold is user defined and will be red beyond the threshold.
1H Bias - Day Trade FilterThis indicator is intended for the use of two screens 15M and 5M. It will indicate with a green arrow at 8:30 AM central to look bullish or a red arrow at 8:30 AM central to look Bearish. This indicator is based on the 1H chart having price over the 200 MA and the 20 MA above the 50 MA.
Look for pullbacks on the 15M to key areas of support or resistance.
Look for a break of structure entries or pullback entries on the 5M chart.
Green Arrow = Look Bullish on this chart today.
Red Arrow = Look Bearish on this chart today.
X = Do not trade this chart today.
Levels With Touch Color (Dotted Touch)Engulfing Candles — Levels with Touch & Liquidity Sweep

Features:
Detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns
Plots fixed levels at the high or low of the engulfing candle
Pointed touch lines:
Level changes color when price touches the level without breaking it
Green for bullish touches, red for bearish touches

Liquidity lines extend a few bars forward for visual clarity.
Works on all timeframes.
Gold Profit Target SystemGOLD PROFIT TARGET SYSTEM
Track Real Profits, Exit With Confidence
Best on Daily or Weekly - copy and mod as you see fit. Have fun!
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This indicator tracks your gold position from entry and shows color-coded profit targets as the price rises. Instead of guessing when to exit, you see exact profit levels in real-time: 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 25%+.
Simple concept: BUY on the signal, SELL at YOUR chosen profit level.
HOW IT WORKS - 3 SIMPLE STEPS:
STEP 1: Wait for BUY Signal
• Green triangle (▲) appears below the composite line
• Triggered when inverse assets (DXY, rates, etc.) show strong correlation and are falling
• Entry price is automatically recorded
• Position tracking begins
STEP 2: Watch Profit Targets Appear
• As gold rises, color-coded symbols appear above the composite line
• Each symbol represents a profit milestone
• The info table shows your current profit
• You decide when to exit based on YOUR target
STEP 3: Exit at Your Chosen Level
• Conservative? Exit at 5-10%
• Moderate? Exit at 10-15%
• Aggressive? Hold for 20%+
• The indicator just shows the levels - YOU make the call
THE COMPOSITE LINE - WHAT IT MEANS:
The main line is a weighted composite of inverse-correlated assets:
• DXY (US Dollar Index)
• Real Interest Rates (10Y TIPS)
• US 10-Year Treasury Yield
• US 2-Year Treasury Yield
• Bitcoin (optional)
• Copper (optional)
Line Position:
• Below -30 (Bright Green): Very strong inverse correlation - excellent BUY conditions
• Below 0 (Green): Inverse correlation present - moderate BUY conditions
• Above 0 (Red): Inverse assets rising - neutral to bearish
• Above 30 (Bright Red): Strong inverse rally - bearish for gold
What Causes BUY Signals:
When the composite line is negative (inverse assets falling) AND shows strong correlation (>0.3), this suggests gold is likely to rise. The indicator records your entry and begins tracking profits.
COLOR-CODED PROFIT TARGETS:
EARLY PROFITS (Green Circles):
• 1% - Very Light Green (#c8e6c9) - First confirmation
• 2% - Light Green (#a5d6a7) - Building profit
• 3% - Green (#81c784) - Good profit
• 4% - Medium Green (#66bb6a) - Strong profit
• 5% - Dark Green (#4caf50) - Solid profit!
EXCELLENT PROFIT (Yellow Diamond):
• 10% - Yellow (#ffd54f) - Double digits, excellent trade!
OUTSTANDING PROFIT (Orange Diamonds):
• 15% - Orange (#ffb74d) - Exceptional profit, consider partial exit
EXCEPTIONAL PROFIT (Red Diamonds):
• 20% - Light Red (#ff8a65) - Rare territory, strong exit consideration
• 25% - Red (#f44336) - Extraordinary profit, very rare!
PEAK PROFIT (Purple Star):
• 25%+ - Purple (#9c27b0) - Once in a blue moon! The home run trade!
STOP LOSS (Red X):
• Default -5% - Protection against losses
• Position auto-resets if stop is hit
THE PROFIT BAR (Histogram):
Below the composite line, you'll see a colored histogram when in position:
Bar Color = Your Current Profit Tier
• Light green bar = 1-2% profit
• Green bar = 3-5% profit
• Yellow bar = 10% profit
• Orange bar = 15% profit
• Red bar = 20-25% profit
• Purple bar = 25%+ profit
• Red negative bar = Currently at a loss
Bar Height = Current Profit %
The taller the bar, the larger your profit. Negative bars extend downward when you're at a loss.

WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT:
Most indicators tell you WHEN to enter.
This one tells you WHEN TO EXIT with profit.
Most indicators use vague signals.
This one shows EXACT profit percentages.
Most indicators leave exit decisions to you.
This one gives CLEAR, COLOR-CODED milestones.
Most indicators don't track your P/L.
This one shows your profit in text you can't miss.
QUICK START GUIDE:
1. Add indicator to gold chart (XAUUSD, GLD, GC1!)
2. Wait for green triangle (▲) BUY signal
3. Watch your profit grow in the table
4. Exit when you hit YOUR target (5%, 10%, 15%, etc.)
5. Repeat
That's it. Simple. Effective. Profitable.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• This is for LONG positions only - not for shorting gold
• Position tracking begins only after a BUY signal
• The indicator shows levels - YOU decide when to exit
• Always use stop losses (default 5% is reasonable)
• Past performance doesn't guarantee future results
• Not financial advice - use for educational purposes
PRO TIPS:
Tip 1: Don't get greedy - 10-15% is an excellent profit for most trades
Tip 2: Purple stars (25%+) are RARE - don't wait for them on every trade
Tip 3: The profit bar color change is your visual cue - green→yellow→orange→red
Tip 4: Combine with resistance levels - "10% profit + resistance = exit"
Tip 5: Set alerts for YOUR target level so you never miss it
Tip 6: The giant P/L number in the table removes emotion from decisions
EXAMPLE TRADE:
Day 1: ▲ BUY signal at $2,100
Table shows: Position ✓ IN | Entry: 2,100
Day 2: Current P/L: +1.8%
First green circle appears (1% target hit)
Table tier: "1%"
Day 4: Current P/L: +5.2%
Dark green circle appears (5% target hit)
Profit bar is dark green
Decision point: Exit 50% here?
Day 7: Current P/L: +10.5%
Yellow diamond appears (10% target hit!)
Table shows: +10.5% in yellow text
Decision point: Exit remaining 50%?
Result: Average exit ~7.5% over 7 days. Excellent swing trade!
