GKD-C QQE of Polychromatic Momentum [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C QQE of Polychromatic Momentum is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C QQE of Polychromatic Momentum
The Quantitative Qualitative Estimation (QQE) of Polychromatic Momentum is a trading strategy used in financial markets. This technical indicator is designed to gauge the momentum and trend of a particular asset's price over a specific period. It helps investors identify potential buying and selling opportunities based on the changes in price momentum.
The algorithm operates by calculating the weighted momentum of the price changes over time, where more recent changes have a higher weight. It then smooths this momentum using a type of moving average, reducing the impact of short-term fluctuations and focusing more on longer-term momentum trends.
Additionally, the algorithm maintains two distinct trend lines based on different speeds of price changes: a slow and a fast trend. These trends, coupled with the smoothed momentum, provide potential signals for investors.
When the smoothed momentum crosses the fast trend line, it could be seen as an indication that the price is picking up speed and might be a good time to buy. On the other hand, when the smoothed momentum crosses the slow trend line, it might be seen as a signal that the price momentum is slowing, indicating a potential selling opportunity.
In essence, the QQE of Polychromatic Momentum is a comprehensive tool that combines weighted momentum calculation, trend analysis, and signal generation to aid investors in making more informed trading decisions.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*

What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker Full GKD Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Precision Trendf as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

GKD-C Precision Trend [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Precision Trend is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Precision Trend
The Precision Trend indicator is a type of price trend indicator that is calculated based on a certain period and sensitivity level. It uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the range of price (high and low) within a specific period.
Here's a high-level conceptual overview of how it works:
Period & Sensitivity: The Precision Trend indicator first takes in two inputs: the period and sensitivity. The period specifies how many past periods (like days, hours, etc. based on the chart's timeframe) should be considered when calculating the indicator. Sensitivity is a factor that allows users to adjust how reactive the trend indicator is to price changes.
Calculate the SMA: The indicator starts by calculating the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the price range (high minus low) over the defined period. This average is then scaled by the sensitivity.
Set Initial Variables: Several variables are initialized to represent the trend, adjusted closing price values, and other factors used in determining the trend.
Trend Determination: Based on whether the trend in the previous period was upwards, downwards, or non-existent, different logic is applied. Essentially, the algorithm checks the relationship between the current closing price and adjusted high and low values to determine if the trend should switch or continue.
If there was no trend previously, the closing price is compared to the adjusted high and low values. If the closing price is greater than the adjusted high value, an upward trend is established. If the closing price is less than the adjusted low value, a downward trend is established.
If the trend was upwards previously, it checks if the current closing price has dropped below the adjusted low value, which might signal a trend reversal to a downward trend.
If the trend was downwards previously, it checks if the current closing price has risen above the adjusted high value, which might signal a trend reversal to an upward trend.
The Precision Trend indicator gives traders an idea about the trend in the market, helping them decide when to enter or exit trades based on the trend direction and possible trend reversals.

Option ScalperWhat is Scalping?
Scalping is a trading strategy aimed at profiting from quick momentum in a volatile index or stock or any other instrument that can be traded.
Traders who use such strategies place anywhere from 10 to a few hundred trades in a single day.
The idea behind such type of trading is that small moves in an index or stock price are much easier to capture than the larger moves.
Traders who use such strategies are known as scalpers. When you take many small profits a number of times, say 10 points scalped 20 times per day, they can easily add up to large gains.
An Option Buyer's Biggest Enemy is Time Decay and when you scalp, you do not allow the time decay to eat your Option Premium as your Entry and Exit is often quick enough.
What is Option Scalper?
Option Scalper indicator is a momentum-based indicator that tries to detect momentum based upon a number of factors as given below:
(1) Price action accumulated over a period of time when big candles are nowhere
(2) Repeatedly Occurring, certain Candle patterns which indicate if buyers have the upper hand or sellers are ruling the market.
(3) Gradient of moving averages which shows consistency of net buying/selling force
(4) Price jumping normal distribution line and landing in outlying areas, signalling increasing momentum of buying/selling activity.
Based upon the above factors, when Option Scalper thinks a move has the potential to turn into a big move, it generates its Buy/Sell Signals.
When aggressive buying or selling starts where Buying & Selling Forces become unequal, the Price starts moving in one direction with candles making Higher Highs or Lower Lows, moving average lines start scaling up or down or volumes start increasing.
Option Scalper detects these (1) Higher Highs or Lower Lows, (2) scaling up moving average lines, and/or (3) price breaking out of channels; and generates Buy or Sell signals.
In order to use this indicator, simply deploy this on your chart, and wait for Buy/Sell signals. When a Buy/Sell Signal appears, a small line starts forming up at the closing level of Buy/Sell signal candle. Your Entry will be above that line for Buy Signal and below that line for Sell Signal.
It works on all time frames.
Whenever a Buy Signal is followed by Sell signal (let it be after 7 - 8 candles or after many candles) or vice-versa, you have to switch your position to make most of the reverse move.
It is a general purpose indicator and may be used on stocks, commodities, forex and any other instruments alike and is not meant for any specific market.
How to Take Buy/Sell Entry with Option Scalper?
Whenever a Buy/Sell Signal appears on a candle, Option Scalper starts marking its closing price with a horizontal line that keeps extending towards right side with every new candle. This line is Blue in Color for Buy Signal and dark golden color for Sell Signal.
Initially this horizontal line will be very small but as more and more candles appear with the passage of time, the length of the line keeps increasing.
The purpose of this line is to mark the closing price of Signal candle and you have to take your Buy Entry above this line (if last signal is BUY) or you have to take your trade Below this line (if last signal is SELL).
The indicator will also draw another line at the Opening Price of Signal Candle, which can act as your initial stop loss. If trade starts moving in your direction and price goes above upper variance line (light green curvy line) or goes below lower variance line (purple wavy line), then that line becomes your trailing stop loss line from that point onwards.
The indicator also marks the consolidation zone for you. If the Buy/Sell Signal has come but price is in consolidation zone (grey colour cloud), do not take any positions yet and wait for the price to come out of the cloud and breach the Entry Line.
Exiting Buy/Sell Positions and Re-Entry Rules
1. Exiting your Buy Trade: When a Buy Trade is active, indicator can detect where the ongoing upmove may end or retrace for a while and it will print an X symbol (RED COLOR) to warn you. After you see a Red Color X symbol, if price starts making lower lows, you can exit your Buy Trade there or if you are in good profit, you can wait for the price to go below upper variance line (the green color Trailing Stop Loss Line for Buy Trade). See the image below for Red Color X symbol which warns you to be prepared for EXIT from Buy Trade:
2. Re-Entry for Buy Trade: If the last signal on your chart is still Buy Signal but your stop loss has been hit once or twice and you have no open positions now, you can RE-ENTER in buy trade if and when price again climbs above the grey cloud.
3. Exiting your Sell Trade: When a Sell Trade is active, indicator can detect where the ongoing down-move may end or retrace for a while and it will print an X symbol (Green COLOR) to warn you. After you see a Green Color X symbol, if price starts making higher highs, you can exit your Sell Trade there or if you are in good profit, you can wait for the price to go above lower variance line (the purple color Trailing Stop Loss Line for Sell Trade).
4. Re-Entry for Sell Trade: If the last signal on your chart is Sell Signal but your stop loss has been hit once or twice and you have no open positions now, you can RE-ENTER in Sell trade if and when price again crosses below the grey color cloud.
See the image below for recognizing Red and Green X symbols which indicate that temporary retracement or reversal signal is developing:
What are the other features of Option Scalper?
1. End to End Horizontal Support/Resistance Lines: Indicator also detects, prints and deletes horizontal support and resistance lines which can help in your trading decisions. For example, a Buy Signal comes and price crosses above upper variance line and also crosses nearby horizontal resistance line means it has higher probability of moving further up. The reverse is also true (for Sell Signal). See an example of a resistance line below:
2. Star Symbols: If 5 or more consecutive candles are of the same color, then Star Symbol (*) starts appearing above or below the candles. When price has moved too high or too low from the upper or lower variance line, these stars indicate that there is higher probability of retracement happening now which should prompt you to book full or partial profit. See the circled stars in the below image
3. Color Changing Candles: If a candle changes its color from Red to Purple or from Green to light green, they indicate increased intensity of Selling or Buying activity. For example, if each 1 min candle within a 5 min candle is red, then that 5 min candle will turn purple which means Selling pressure is too much and there are very few or no buyers at all. Reverse is also true when Green Candle becomes Light Green. Example images of such candles can be seen below:
4. Consolidation Zone: It is very important for an option buyer to strike only when there is momentum and not to take any fresh trade (or if you already have a position, then closing it for the time being) when price is in consolidation zone. Consolidation zone is marked by a grey colour cloud as seen in below image.
What Type of Alerts Can be Set up: You can set up 3 type of alerts with this indicator (a) Buy Entry Signal which happens when Price closes above the marked Buy Price Level (b) Sell Signal which happens when Price closes below the marked Sell Price Level or (c) Any signal (if you want to be alerted when either Buy or Sell Signal happens)

Standard Deviation Buy Sell Signals [UOI]The "Standard Deviation Buy Sell Signals" which is a Mean and VWAP Deviation Super Pack that includes many additional features is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in making well-informed decisions in the financial markets. It incorporates various functions and calculations to provide a comprehensive analysis of price movements, trends, and potential trading opportunities in different timeframes. The Super Pack combines elements of volume-weighted average price (VWAP), mean calculation on multiple time frames, standard deviation signals and bands, overbought and oversold signals, measures of central tendency, and multiple time frame calculations of mean reversion. A truly unique indicator.
Here is the details of the supper pack and what is included:
1. VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The Mean and VWAP Deviation Super Pack includes VWAP, which calculates the average price of a security weighted by its trading volume. This helps traders identify the average price at which a significant amount of trading activity has occurred and can serve as a reference point for determining whether the current price is overvalued or undervalued.
2. Standard Deviation Signals and Bands: The Super Pack incorporates standard deviation signals and bands to measure the volatility of price movements. By calculating the standard deviation of price data, it identifies price levels that deviate significantly from the average, indicating potential overbought or oversold conditions. The standard deviation bands provide visual boundaries that help traders assess the likelihood of a price reversal or continuation. The bands are hidden to avoid too many lines but you can enable them in the setting. See image below:
3. Overbought and Oversold Signals: Using the standard deviation calculations, the Mean and VWAP Deviation Super Pack generates overbought and oversold signals. These signals indicate when a security's price has moved to an extreme level, suggesting a potential reversal or correction in the near future. Traders can use these signals to time their entries or exits in the market. You can change the RSI number in the setting to get more or less signals.
4. Measures of Central Tendency: The Super Pack incorporates measures of central tendency, such as the mean, median, or mode, to provide a sense of the average or typical price behavior. These measures help traders identify the prevailing trend or price direction and assess the likelihood of a trend continuation or reversal. This provide reassurance of whether price is too far from center in multiple time frames.
5. Multiple Time Frame Calculation of Mean Reversion: The Mean and VWAP Deviation Super Pack employs multiple time frame calculations to identify mean reversion opportunities. It compares the current price with the historical average price over different time periods, allowing traders to identify situations where the price has deviated significantly from its mean and is likely to revert back to its average value. This can be useful for swing trading or short-term trading strategies.
By combining these various functions, the Mean and VWAP Deviation Super Pack provides traders with a comprehensive analysis of price dynamics, trend strength, potential reversals, and mean reversion opportunities. It aids in making more informed trading decisions and improving overall trading performance.
Why is this super pack indicator an essential trading strategy for every trader:
Standard deviation and mean reversion are valuable tools for traders, especially when the market is in a ranging phase. A ranging market is characterized by price movements that oscillate between defined support and resistance levels, with no clear trend in either direction. In such market conditions, standard deviation and mean reversion strategies can be particularly effective. Here's why:
1. Standard Deviation: Standard deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the volatility or dispersion of price data around its average. In a ranging market, where prices tend to fluctuate within a certain range, standard deviation can help identify overbought and oversold levels. When the price reaches the upper end of the range, the standard deviation bands widen, indicating higher volatility and a potential selling opportunity. Conversely, when the price reaches the lower end of the range, the bands narrow, suggesting lower volatility and a potential buying opportunity. Traders can use these signals to anticipate price reversals and take advantage of the predictable nature of ranging markets.
2. Mean Reversion: Mean reversion is a concept that suggests prices tend to move back toward their average or mean over time. In a ranging market, where prices repeatedly move between support and resistance levels, mean reversion strategies can be highly effective. By identifying when the price has deviated significantly from its mean, traders can anticipate a potential reversal back toward the average. When the price reaches extreme levels, indicating overbought or oversold conditions, traders can enter positions in the opposite direction, expecting the price to revert to its mean. Mean reversion strategies can be implemented using various indicators, including Bollinger Bands, moving averages, or standard deviation bands.
3. Range Boundaries: In a ranging market, the upper and lower boundaries of the price range serve as reliable reference points for traders. Standard deviation and mean reversion strategies capitalize on the repetitive nature of price movements within these boundaries. Traders can set their entry and exit points based on the standard deviation bands or mean reversion signals to take advantage of price reversals near the range boundaries. By properly identifying and reacting to these levels, traders can profit from the price oscillations within the range.
4. Risk Management: Standard deviation and mean reversion strategies provide traders with clear entry and exit points, allowing for effective risk management. By placing stop-loss orders beyond the range boundaries or the standard deviation bands, traders can limit their potential losses if the price continues to move against their positions. Additionally, by taking profits near the opposite range boundary or when the price reverts back to the mean, traders can secure their gains and maintain a disciplined approach to trading.
Standard deviation and mean reversion strategies offer traders a systematic approach to capitalize on ranging markets. But the cherry on top is the overbought and oversold signals:
The concept of overbought and oversold levels is widely used in technical analysis to identify potential reversals in price trends. Typically, indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are employed to determine when an asset may be overbought or oversold. However, you have developed a unique approach by incorporating an interactive variable with RSI and Average True Range (ATR) to create a distinct overbought and oversold signal. Here's why this approach stands out:
1. Divergence: Your approach introduces a divergence concept by combining RSI and ATR. Traditionally, overbought and oversold signals rely solely on RSI readings. However, by considering the interaction between RSI and ATR, you bring a new dimension to these signals. The divergence occurs when the RSI indicates overbought conditions while simultaneously ATR crosses over into bearish territory, or when the RSI signals oversold conditions along with ATR crossing over into bullish territory. This divergence adds an extra layer of confirmation to the overbought and oversold signals.
2. Reduced False Signals: The incorporation of ATR in conjunction with RSI helps filter out false signals that may occur during trending market conditions or short squeezes. Trend days or periods of increased volatility can cause RSI to remain in overbought or oversold territory for an extended period, generating numerous signals that may not be reliable. By considering the crossing of ATR into bearish or bullish territory, your approach adds a dynamic element to the signal generation process. This interactive variable helps ensure that the overbought and oversold signals are not solely based on RSI getting hot, reducing the likelihood of false signals during trending or volatile periods.
3. Improved Timing: The interaction between RSI and ATR provides a more nuanced approach to timing overbought and oversold signals. By waiting for the ATR to confirm the RSI signal, you introduce an additional condition that enhances the precision of the timing. The bearish or bullish crossover of ATR serves as a confirmation that market conditions align with the overbought or oversold signal indicated by RSI. This combined approach allows for more accurate entry or exit points, increasing the potential profitability of trades.
4. Customization and Adaptability: By creating this interactive variable with RSI and ATR, you have developed a customizable approach that can be adapted to different trading styles and preferences. Traders can adjust the sensitivity of the signals by modifying the parameters of the RSI and ATR. This flexibility allows for a personalized trading experience and enables traders to align the signals with their specific risk tolerance and market conditions.
This approach to overbought and oversold signals utilizing RSI and ATR introduces a unique perspective to technical analysis. By incorporating divergence and interactive variables, you enhance the reliability of these signals while reducing false readings. This approach provides improved timing and adaptability, making it a valuable tool for traders seeking to identify potential reversals in price trends with greater accuracy and confidence.
HOW to avoid fake signals?
When it comes to trading with standard deviation as a strategy, it's important to note that on extreme trend days, this indicator may generate false signals. This occurs because standard deviation is primarily designed to measure volatility and deviations from the mean in a range-bound market. During strong trending periods, the price tends to move in one direction with minimal deviations, rendering the standard deviation less effective.
To avoid trading based solely on standard deviation during extreme trend days, it is advisable to incorporate additional indicators that can provide insights into the stock's trend or squeeze conditions. These indicators can help determine whether the market is experiencing a strong trend or a squeeze, allowing you to avoid false signals generated by standard deviation.
By utilizing complementary indicators such as trend-following indicators (e.g., moving averages, trendlines) or volatility indicators (e.g., Bollinger Bands), you can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market environment. These indicators can help confirm whether the stock is in a trending phase or experiencing a squeeze, helping you avoid entering trades solely based on standard deviation during these extreme trend days.
In summary, while standard deviation is a valuable tool in range-bound markets, it may produce unreliable signals on extreme trend days. By incorporating other indicators that provide insights into the stock's trend or squeeze conditions, traders can better assess the market environment and avoid false signals generated by standard deviation during these periods. This approach enhances the overall effectiveness and accuracy of trading strategies, leading to more informed and profitable decision-making.
GKD-C Kase Peak Oscillator [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Kase Peak Oscillator is a Metamorphosis module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-C Kase Peak Oscillator
The Kase Peak Oscillator is a technical analysis tool developed by Cynthia Kase, a renowned market analyst and trader. It is used by traders and investors to identify trading signals and potential trend reversals in financial markets.
The Kase Peak Oscillator utilizes a unique approach to measuring momentum and trend strength. It is calculated by measuring the difference between the highest high and lowest low prices over a set period of time and then smoothing these values using a moving average. This smoothing reduces the impact of market noise and helps to identify clearer trends.
The indicator is similar to other momentum oscillators, but its calculation is distinct in several ways. One significant feature is that the Kase Peak Oscillator generates data points that are not bounded, meaning that the indicator can take on positive and negative values regardless of market direction. This enables traders to identify potential buy and sell signals across different market conditions.
Traders use the Kase Peak Oscillator primarily to identify potential trading opportunities and strategy decisions. When the oscillator crosses above a certain level, traders view it as a bullish signal, indicating a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, when the oscillator crosses below a specific level, traders see it as a bearish signal, indicating a potential selling opportunity.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Full GKD Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Kase Peak Oscillator as shown in the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Vortex
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Fisher Transform, Universal Oscillator, Aroon, Vortex .. combined
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

GKD-C Detrended Price Oscillator [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Detrended Price Oscillator is a Metamorphosis module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-C Detrended Price Oscillator
The Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) is a technical analysis tool used by traders and analysts to identify cycles and trends in price movements. It aims to remove the long-term trend from the price data and focus on shorter-term cycles.
The DPO calculates the difference between a chosen period's closing price and the historical moving average of that price. The moving average used is typically a simple moving average (SMA) or an exponential moving average (EMA). The resulting values represent the deviation from the long-term trend.
To calculate the DPO, follow these steps:
1. Determine the desired period for analysis (e.g., 20 days).
2. Calculate the center point of this period by taking (period length / 2) + 1 (e.g., (20 / 2) + 1 = 11).
3. Calculate the simple moving average (SMA) of the price over the chosen period.
4. Shift the moving average backward by the center point calculated in step 2. This creates a displaced moving average.
5. Subtract the displaced moving average from the price at the corresponding period to obtain the DPO value.
The resulting DPO values oscillate above and below the zero line. Traders often use the DPO to identify cycles, overbought or oversold conditions, and potential reversal points. When the DPO crosses above the zero line, it suggests that the price may be in an uptrend, while crossing below indicates a potential downtrend.

The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*

What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Full GKD Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Detrended Price Oscillator as shown in the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Vortex
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Fisher Transform, Universal Oscillator, Aroon, Vortex .. combined
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

█ What is the Composite RSI?
The Composite Relative Strength Index (Composite RSI) is a sophisticated adaptation of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI). This advanced indicator combines the benefits of smoothing techniques with the relative strength index to offer a more detailed perspective of market conditions. To fully comprehend the scope of Composite RSI, it's crucial to first understand the traditional RSI and its limitations.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a widely used momentum oscillator that gauges the speed and change of price movements. Developed by J. Welles Wilder, the RSI is a scale from 0 to 100, with high and low levels typically set at 70 and 30, respectively. When the RSI climbs above 70, the asset is often considered overbought, suggesting a potential price decrease. Conversely, when the RSI falls below 30, the asset is deemed oversold, indicating a potential price increase.
While the RSI is beneficial in various market conditions, it is not without its limitations. One of the main criticisms of the traditional RSI is that it can produce false signals during trending markets. This is primarily due to the fact that the RSI only considers a single timeframe and does not account for volatility in the market.
The Composite RSI aims to address these limitations. This advanced indicator uses smoothing techniques and depth analysis to provide a more nuanced view of the market. As the provided pseudocode suggests, the Composite RSI calculates the Relative Strength (RS) over a given period and a certain depth, incorporating the average upward and downward changes in the price.
By using the Composite RSI, traders can better interpret market conditions and make more informed decisions. Its application of smoothing techniques helps to filter out market noise and reduce the likelihood of false signals. Furthermore, by considering multiple periods (the depth), the Composite RSI provides a more comprehensive view of market momentum.
While the traditional RSI remains a valuable tool in technical analysis, the Composite RSI offers a more nuanced and comprehensive approach to assessing market conditions. By incorporating smoothing techniques and depth analysis, the Composite RSI provides a more reliable and robust measure of market momentum, enhancing the decision-making process for traders and investors alike.

Round Numbers Breakouts Smart Formula Signals and AlertsThis indicator uses Round Numbers breakouts and then uses smart formula with the near Round Numbers to determine best TP (take profit)/SL (stop loss) areas. Furthermore, it calculates win percentage, shows in-profit/in-loss peaks and the price amount result over a customizable date range, which when combined well with the smart formula provides decent profitable outcome. I have decided to write my own backtesting engine as the integrated TradingView strategy one has limitations and has shown inconsistencies when compared to manual backtesting…
There are many settings you can manually change to trade any instrument, any style, any approach and there are presets included for Bitcoin(BTCUSD), FOREX(EURUSD), SPY(S&P500), so you can start trading immediately! Alerts correspond to indicator settings and are turned on with a few clicks. There are 3 tables (each can be shown/hidden) showing everything you need to see/know to calibrate the indicator as you wish.
Labels, lines, tables explanations (everything can be hidden/shown):
- LONG Labels: medium-green: position open, dark-green: SL, bright-green: TP, blue: TP2
- SHORT Labels: medium-red: position open, dark-red: SL, bright-red: TP, purple: TP2
- Gray circles: position entry area | Yellow crosses: SL area
- Green line: Long TP1, Blue line: Long TP2 | Red Line: Short TP1, Purple line: Short TP2
- Grey lines: Round Numbers (customized via “Round Number up/down measure unit” input)
- Yellow labels at end of each week: end of week OVERALL total results
- Red colored background: power segment
- 3 tables: 1) INFO | STATS, 2) SPY Options Calculator, 3) Indicator Settings
If you decide to fully customize the indicator yourself, on the very top - under “PRESETS” select “MANUAL”! NOTE: If you select any of the pre-set presets, only GLOBAL settings can be changed, the rest of the settings will be “frozen” until you switch it to “MANUAL”!
- Global Settings are self-explanatory and mainly observational, show/hide, etc.
- Manual TP2 (Multi-Take-Profit) Settings:
>>>>> Include TP2 System? Turn on/off multi-profit system, with this unchecked, every trade will either end with SL or with TP1.
>>>>> TP2 System: NEAREST/FORMULA, NEAREST – after TP1 is taken > next TP2 will be a round number price target nearest to where TP1 was taken (sometimes it can be very near, sometimes further away…), FORMULA – 2nd round number price target will be optimally selected based on the distance behind and ahead of TP1 area. For TP2 – FORMULA would be the most logical choice as with multi-take-profit setting turned on – you’d want to ride it out as far as possible.
>>>>> TP1/TP2 division type: 1) Each price target (TP1, TP2) will be ½ of the position 2) TP1 will be 2/3 of the position and TP2 will be the remaining 1/3.
>>>>> TP2 hit type: “close” > candle has to close on top/crossing the price target line, “touch” > once candle touches the price target – you will be immediately alerted to take the partial profit (if you will use such setting – you will need to take the partial profits as soon as you receive the alert.
>>>>> TP1 > Back to Entry hit type: similar to TP2, “close” > candle close, “touch” > candle touch. Please note: this is a very tricky setting as if you use “close” option – your profitable trade may become a loss if a huge candle will close against your position eliminating your TP1 profit, however often the price will touch and cross the entry area to only bounce and continue with your position direction for even bigger profits… so experiment with the date range results to see what works best for your instrument/setting/strategy.
>>>>> TP2 count towards trades count: this can be a bit confusing, but it is simply how should TP2 be treated towards trades count. The indicator will show you Win Percentage and Win % is obtained from winning trades count divided by total trades count. While TP2 is not “a new trade”, it expands the profit of the trade. This is an experimental setting to count TP2 as the whole winning trade, ½ of a trade, or not count it at all.
- Manual Signals/TP1 Settings:
>>>>> TP1/TP2 offset: this one is really cool, with this feature you can hunt these conditions when the price comes very near the profit target area, but never touches it. With this setting turned on and with a good offset amount – you will be able to catch these for TP1 and TP2!
>>>>> TP1/TP2 offset amount: just what the title says, please be careful with this as this number varies significantly depending on the instrument you will be trading. Examples: 1) For SPY 0.1 would be $0.10 offset - if TP1 is $400 and price hits $399.90 > TP1 considered taken/signal shown/alert) | 2) For EURUSD, it is very different and if wrong will show TP1 immediately at position open, typical good offset for EURUSD is: 0.0005 | 3) For BTCUSD, 10 - $10 offset, if TP is $15,000 > $14,990, etc.
>>>>> Round Number up/down measure unit (in dollars $): this one is very important if you will be using “MANUAL” selection to build your own setup as it is very different for every instrument. For SPY, round numbers are single dollars or even half-dollar 50 cent numbers: 1 or 0.5 (350, 351, 352, etc. or 350.50, 351, 351.50, 352, etc.), while for Bitcoin (BTCUSD) a single unit ($1) is too small to be a round number as Bitoin moves much faster and wider every second and it would have to be at least 50 ($50) to make sense. Similar for FOREX (EUR/USD) a single 1 unit ($1) will be too big as EURUSD will never move a whole $1 in 15 minutes or even a day.. and would have to be something like 1.05500. You can easily determine if this number makes sense for your instrument by observing the grey Round Number lines which will correspond based on this setting. You can also visually observer if the price of the instrument appreciates these round numbers.
>>>>> Close Position Before Market Closes: just what the title says. Indicator will close the position 15 minutes before market closes (US session), update backtesting stats, alert you.
>>>>> Close Position Before Power Hour: 3PM – 4PM ET is the last hour of US trading session, where sudden move in any direction can happen with huge volatility, while sometimes nothing will happen at all… Many try to avoid it, so if you wish to avoid it as well - turn this on and it will alert you to close your positions 15 minutes before Power Hour starts, backtesting/stats will be adjusted accordingly.
>>>>> Skip OVERSIZED candles in signals: turn on this setting to skip signals, which happen to fall on big candles. This is basically a protection from huge volatility moves, which usually happen during financial news/events and if you are not a fan of these – you can set this option for indicator to not open anything based on the candle size.
>>>>> Color OVERSIZED candles: this will help you calibrate the size of the OVERSIZED candles if you decide to use this setting and overall visually see them.
>>>>> OVERSIZED candle size: OVERSIZED candle size must be input as it varies significantly. Please note: for each instrument – the size number is completely different, as for SPY: 2 would mean any candle bigger than $2 distance will be considered OVERSIZED, for Bitcoin it would have to be several hundred dollars, like 400-500. For FOREX, this would have to be a decimal, for EURUSD something like 0.0005. It’s best to experiment visually with this setting depending on the instrument you will be trading while setting up the size. To see a typical huge unusual candle – look up financial calendar for something like FOMC meeting, then measure the candle input it into this setting.
>>>>> OVERSIZED candle size calculation type: this is just more flexibility for your preference. If you wish to calculate the size of the candle based on the open/close – select “BODY”, if you wish to use high/low – select “STICKS (from tip to tip)”. Hard to say which one is better, so it is up to you to decide.
>>>>> Include EMA in signal formula: LONG signals will only be shown only if above EMA, SHORT if below EMA. EMA length is of course customizable in below.
>>>>> Skip opposite candle types in signals: signals where the candle color confirms the direction of the trade, but the candle type is opposite (like a green colored bearish hammer for example) will be avoided (such candles can be very uncertain/deceptive).
>>>>> Skip doji: signals where the signal candle is doji (uncertain) will be avoided.
>>>>> TP1 hit type/system: same thing as TP2 hit type/system.
>>>>> SL hit type/system: same as TP1 and TP2 types/systems.
>>>>> Intraday Session Signals Active Time in ET: time range during the day when indicator will show signals (open trades, alert you, etc.). This is specifically for intraday trading. You can turn it off completely by selecting a BLANK option.
>>>>> Intraday TP/SL Active Time in ET: same as above, but for taking profits/stop losses.

Original Strategy - Backtest & Alerts [AlgoRider]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator simulates an efficient trading strategy developed by our team in a simple and effective way, the primary objective when designing it was to make its reading and use as simple as possible for TradingView users. The Backtesting feature has been designed to keep only the most essential information to obtain clear and precise results directly on the graph. The settings interface has also been designed for ergonomic and simplified use. The user is free to customize the parameters as he wishes and according to his trading profile by having the choice, for example, of using options to reduce the risk of loss, to increase the win rate, to optimize profits. Automation is made possible and facilitated thanks to preconfigured alert conditions.
█ CONCEPTS
How the strategy works :
When the price is close to its equilibrium (represented by an exponential moving average - EMA) and it starts to take an upward or downward direction the script will issue Long or Short entry orders. If the price turns and goes to the opposite direction, the script quickly cuts the position by issuing a Stop Loss order. When the price takes a real clear direction, this is where the script will be able to accumulate profits.
What makes this script unique is :
• That it is entirely developed by us, inspired by a strategy that is little known and little used in the trading world, in particular because it often involves a greater number of losing trades than winning trades.
• Its ease of reading and use. The backtesting feature was designed to clearly display the most important information in a data table directly on the chart. The user is not lost with dozens of superfluous data and can directly access the most essential information to see how the strategy has performed in the past.
• Its ease of configuration and customization. Once in the configuration window, again the user is not lost, because there is only one main parameter to modify, it is the length of the EMA, which will influence the timing of entries and exits trades. Then there are a few other non-mandatory parameters to fine-tune risk management and maximize profits. (Detailed description of the settings further down the page)
• Strategy automation made easy and fast thanks to several types of alerts which are differentiated for entries, for auto-exits and for Custom TP and SL. These alerts can be configured to send the messages by email or via Webhooks.
• The indicator has several custom options allowing its user to go further than the basic strategy. Several confirmations for entries are available as well as the possibility of adding or not a personalized TP and/or SL.
• There is no repaint, once an entry/exit symbol or drawing is displayed it doesn't change anymore. The Short, Long and auto-Exit signals appear only at the open of the candles, just after the signal was confirmed at the close of the previous candle. The custom TP and custom SL signals can appear when a candle is not yet finished, but once displayed they don't change.
█ HOW TO PROCEED
1 — Once the script is applied to your chart, it already works with its default settings. You can already see the performance of the strategy in the data table directly on the chart (in the top right corner by default).
2 — You can customize the strategy and influence the results/performance by modifying its parameters. 3 types of parameters are present and can be modified.
3 — This strategy is designed for the cryptocurrency market in priority, but you can also try it on other types of assets. It works on Futures but you can also try it on Spot market mainly for LONG trades.
4 — You can apply the script in every timeframe. We do not recommend using it below m30 because in most cases the statistics are unfavorable largely because of the fees. (This is not a financial advice but only for the use of the indicator)

• Settings For Backtesting
- Strategy : Choose from a drop-down list if the strategy should execute only Long trades or only Short trades or both. Default Both.
- Invest. : Choose the amount you want to invest in the simulation. Default 10000.
- Position : Choose the amount of the position (Size order) that will be used during the simulation. This will be the $ amount staked/involved for each trade entry.
Ex: If you put 20000 in position and 10000 in Invest. We consider that you use at least a leverage x2. Default 10000.
- Slipp. TP : Choose the amount in percentage of average slippage for Take Profits. This parameter makes it possible to predict a potential gap between the theoretical exit price for each TP (On the graph) and the real exit price on an exchange when implementing the strategy for real (slippage may be due to a time lag of a few seconds from execution time of the order on the exchange and/or due to the execution of a market order).
Ex: If a TP exit order of a Long trade, with entry $19000 (on BTCUSDT), is carried out in theory on the chart at $20000, in practice on the exchange the script have indeed sent an exit order at 20000 , but if the true exit price is 20050, the TP slippage is then +0.25%. Default 0.
- Slipp. SL : Choose the amount in percentage of average slippage for Stop Losses. This parameter makes it possible to predict a potential gap between the theoretical exit price for each SL (On the graph) and the real exit price on an exchange when implementing the strategy for real.
Ex: If an SL exit order of a Long trade, entry $19000 (on BTCUSDT), is carried out in theory on the chart at $18000, in practice on the exchange the script have indeed sent an exit order at 18000 $, but if the true exit price is 17950, the slippage SL is then +0.278% . Default 0.
- Fees % : Choose the percentage amount of fees applied to each trade to simulate the application of the strategy on the exchange of your choice. Applies to the entry and exit of each trade. Ex: For Binance Futures: 0.04; For Bybit futures: 0.06; For Ftx Futures: 0.075. Default 0.
- Cumulate Trades : If you check this, the Backtest will use 100% of the balance as Order Size (Position) for All or in the next X consecutive trades. Default not checked.
⚠️ Be Careful please, this option is available to show the full extent and possibilities of the algorithm when pushed to its limits thanks to the accumulation of profits (cumulative earnings), but it is a strategy that involves great risk. If a bad trade suffers a -50% loss, 50% of the account balance is lost, if the position is liquidated, the entire account balance is lost.
- All : If you check this All trades will be accumulated. Default not checked.
- Consecutive Trades : Choose the number of trades to accumulate. After X consecutive trades, the algorithm reassigns the initial order size to the current one and starts again for X consecutive trades. Minimum Value 2, Default 2.
• Settings To Optimize Performances and Risk Management
- (Main Parameter) EMA Length : Choose the length of the EMA. This value will determine the exponential moving average plot (blue line) that represents the equilibrium in this strategy. Depending on the positioning of the price around this equilibrium, the algorithm will decide to trigger Long or Short entry alerts, and exit alerts. Default 200.
- 1 - Confirm (After X Bar(s)) : If you check this, when the algorithm will detect an entry, it will wait for the number of bars you have entered to actually trigger the entry alert. Default not checked.
- Nb Bar : Enter here the number of bar you want, will be taken into account only if you check (1) Confirm (After X Bar(s)). Default 2.
- 2 - Confirm (Trend) : If you check this, when the algorithm will detect an entry, it will check that the trend is similar to the direction of the trade, if not, it will wait that the trade goes in the same direction as the trend to actually trigger the entry alert. Default not checked.
- OR/AND : This choice is taken into account only if you tick both confirmations. If you choose OR: The first of the 2 confirmations to be validated will trigger the entry alert. If you choose AND : once confirmation (1) is validated, the algorithm waits for confirmation (2) to be validated to actually trigger the entry alert. Default OR.
- Use TP / Use SL : If you check these, the algorithm will trigger personalized trade exit alerts when the price evolution has reached the amounts indicated since the trade entry. Default not Checked.
- % TP - SL : Indicate here the personalized amount in percentage that you want for your Take Profit and Stop Loss of each trade. Default 15-5.
• Settings For Appearances
- Small-size Data Table : If you check this, the data table will become smaller to free up more space on the chart to make it visually more pleasing. Default not checked.
Hide Table /
- Hide Labels / : You can check these to get a cleaner chart and focus only on what interests you in the indicator. Default not checked.
Hide Risk-Reward Areas
█ MAIN PARAMETERS TO USE
• In the default settings none of the box settings are checked. Basic strategy is made to be applied this way.
• The main parameter (the length of the EMA) is by default 200 because it is a known value that many traders rely on in many trading strategies. Moreover in this strategy it works in many cases and on different timeframes.
• To go further the user of the indicator is free to modify the parameters of the category "Leading Parameters - Risk Management" to reduce risks and to optimize profits.
• You can find below our recommendations for the EMA length value corresponding to the main timeframes.
m30 — EMA Length = 400 | 800
H1 — EMA Length = 200 | 400
H2 — EMA Length = 200 | 250
H4 — EMA Length = 100 | 200
D — EMA Length = 20 | 40
⚠️ We have chosen to recommend these settings because they will work in most cases, on most cryptoassets, but of course they will not work 100% of the time on all assets and will not always give positive results in the backtest, and they are not the most optimized parameters either. The user of the indicator is free to optimize the asset on which he wants to trade in his own way. Just as we do not give financial advice, we do not encourage to trade any asset in particular.
█ STATISTICS
The statistics presented below are an example of the results that the strategy can provide. (Reminder: These statistics are made over a past period and there is no guarantee that the same performance will reproduce in the future) .
For the demonstration we chose to apply the strategy on the Top 5 marketcap cryptos in September 2022. They are not the most favorable coins for this strategy but at least this way we don't take the most suitable assets to show wonderful and biased results. Likewise for the parameters used which are the default ones and which are not the most optimized parameters, much better results are possible. We chose Binance because it has the highest volumes and liquidity and the most historical data. We chose H1 because it is one of the most used timeframes.

To show the potential of the indicator and push it to its limits, here is an example of the strategy applied for about 2 years (Up to the maximum of historical data available).
⚠️ It must be taken into account that during the period of this backtest the last Bullrun took place and it was a very favorable period for the strategy and for this altcoin (FTM), nothing ensures that it will happen again. ⚠️
FTM

✅ All of the above statistics are verifiable by anyone using the indicator's backtesting system.
█ LIMITATIONS
• Despite the fact that we can see good performances when we backtest the strategy, we must take into account the fact that these are results performed in the past and that in no case does this guarantee that these same performances will be repeated again in the future.
• The automation of this strategy is made possible and is facilitated by alerts, but you must be aware of the fact that if you decide to put this strategy into practice in real life, you are solely responsible for the results that you will be able to obtain and you must be aware of the possibility at all times of partial or even total losses of your invested capital.
• Keep in mind that generating profits in trading is difficult. A strategy can perform very well at one time in the past during a period that is favorable to it, then from one day to the next it can give really bad results for several months or years.
• When backtesting a strategy, there are many factors to consider, not just trade entries to which you add a Take Profit and sometimes a Stop Loss. You must at least take into account the size of the position in relation to the capital you want to invest, the trading fees, the slippages (which can be really important depending on the exchange on which you are trading and depending on the asset you are trading), trading frequency, risk management, momentum, volumes and even more.
• This indicator has been optimized for crypto, you can try to use it on other type of assets but again, at your own risk.

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Important to note : our indicators with the same backtesting system are published in separate publications, because putting them together in a single script would considerably slow down the execution of the script. In addition each indicator, even when it is based on a simple technical indicator, has several options, parameters and entry/exit conditions specific to the underlying technical indicator. Finally, we want to keep the simplicity of use, configuration and understanding of our indicator by not mixing strategies that have nothing to do with each other.
Unicorn QuantDeeply customizable trading algorithm with instant backtesting. It emulates real trading and displays all the actions it takes on the chart. For example, it shows when to enter or partially close a position, move Stop-Loss to breakeven, etc. The user can replicate these actions in their trading terminal in real time. The algorithm uses up to three Take-Profit levels, and a Stop-Loss level that can move in a trade to protect the floating profit.
The script can send real-time alerts to the user’s Email and to the cell phone via notifications in the TradingView app.
The indicator is designed to be used on all timeframes, including lower ones for intraday trading and scalping.
HOW TO USE
Set the Stop-Loss and up to three Take-Profit levels. Choose the rules for moving the Stop-Loss level in a trade. Adjust the sensitivity of the trading signals. And check the backtest result in the Instant Backtesting dashboard. If the performance of the strategy satisfies you, proceed with the forward testing or live trading.
When using this script, please, keep in mind that past results do not necessarily reflect future results and there are many factors that influence trading results.
FEATURES
Trading Signals
The feature calculates Buy and Sell signals for trend or swing trading. The user can change the Sensitivity parameter to control the frequency of the signals. This allows them to be adjusted for different markets and timeframes.
Position Manager
To make the Position Manager setup as easy as possible, the algorithm calculates Stop-Loss and Take-Profit levels in Average True Range (ATR) units. They are self-adjusting for any market and timeframe, since they account for its average volatility .
You don't have to worry about what market you are trading - Forex, Stocks, Crypto, etc. With the self-adjusting Stop-Loss and Take-Profit, you can find settings that work for one market and use the same numerical values as a starting point for a completely different market.
Instant Backtesting
After changing any settings, you can immediately see the performance of the strategy on the Instant Backtesting panel. Two metrics are displayed there - the percentage of profitable trades and the total return. This information, as well as the historical trades shown on the chart, will help you quickly and easily evaluate the settings.
SETTINGS
TRADING SIGNALS
Sensitivity - controls the sensitivity of the trading signals algorithm. It determines the frequency of the trading signals. The higher the value of this parameter, the less trading signals you get and the longer trends the algorithm tries to catch. The lower the sensitivity value, the more signals you receive. This can be useful if you want to profit from small price movements.
POSITION MANAGER
SL - sets the Stop-Loss level measured in ATR units.
TP1, TP2, TP3 - set the Take-Profit levels measured in the ATR units.
Close % at TP1, Close % at TP2, Close % at TP3 - set portions of the open position (as a percentage of the initial order size) to close at each of the TP levels.
At TP1 move SL to, At TP2 move SL to - set the rules for moving the Stop-Loss level in an open trade to protect the floating profit.
Show Open Position Dashboard - turns on/off a dashboard that shows the current Stop-Loss and Take-Profit levels for the open position.
BACKTESTING
Use Starting Date - turns on/off the starting date for the strategy and backtests. When off, all available historical data is used.
Starting Date - sets the starting date for the strategy and backtests.
Show Instant Backtesting Dashboard - turns on/off a dashboard that shows the current strategy performance: the percentage of profitable trades and total return.
Leverage - sets the leverage that the strategy uses.
Day Trading SPYThis script can be used to see a potential trend change, ride a trend and to scalp following the current trend.
Indicators:
- ATR (bright green/maroon) – is a longer term trend ATR line
- MA (green/red) - is a shorter term MA, where the fast MA is dotted and the long MA is a line
- Support and Resistance (white bold line) – long-term support and resistance areas
- Scalping signals (red/green) – small triangles above/below the candles bouncing off fast MA
- Black candles - oversized huge candles, which must be addressed carefully, especially when these candles change the trend per ATR, as with such huge candle – it is hard to determine where to place the stop-loss (if it is above/below the candle, since the candle is so big - it becomes a big risk). Also such candles may point to an unusual market moves. The size can be adjusted from 0.1 and up, it’s set to 1.4 by default, but it can be changed as needed. With such candles, it is best to wait and see what market does. If the black candle is following the ATR trend or changing the trend per ATR – wait for next 1-3 candles or so, usually those re-bounce in the opposite direction of the ATR trend, which allows you to open the position with a tighter stop-loss.
- Olive and Maroon candles – overbought and oversold candles per RSI (80/15 default) levels. At this levels just watch out for a potential soon reversal. Keep in mind, price may continue going oversold/overbought for a while, so look for additional confirmations.
1) ATR (long-term trend): The flag “Buy” and “Sell” signals (can set Alerts), which happens when the price is crossing through ATR line, marking a potential trend change. If ATR matches MA and ideally there is a breakout - open position in the direction of the signal and use the ATR line as your initial hard stop-loss until you reach the first price target / take first profit. It is best to use the most recent high/low pivot or a Fibonacci extension for the first price target. Once you take it – move SL to entry to secure the profits. If the trend continues and you take the next price target, you can use the fastMA (dotted line) as your dynamic stop-loss to ride the trend. Use the bold white line (long-term support and resistance) where price may certainly reverse where you can close your position completely if you day-trading Options.
2) MA (scalping): The small green and red triangles below/above the bars (can set Alerts), which appear when the price “touches” the fast MA (dotted line) and re-bounces from it with the candle matching the direction (bullish/bearish). Make sure ATR and MA are both going in the same direction for best results. This can be used to scalp for small profits or to jump into the trend. To minimize the risk, since you are jumping into the trend, I suggest placing your stop-loss slightly above/below the candle (the one which bounced off the fast MA). Price targets are similar – most recent high/low pivot or a Fibonacci extension. Same way, once you take the first profit/reach the first price target, move SL to entry and on the next price target – use the fast MA as your dynamic stop-loss.
If you don’t know how to divide up your position - here is an example on how I take profits between the price targets:
- Open position with buying a multiple of x4 contracts
- Sell ½ of the position at first price target and move my SL to entry
- Sell ½ of the remaining position at a second price target
- Sell the rest of the position at the third price target or sell ½ of it and use the fast MA as my dynamic stop-loss for the remaining of the position
Also, keep an eye on the breakouts, especially if they go along the ATR and MA trend and keep an eye on the volume, which may help confirming the direction of the price.
Vgnomics ScalperVGNOMICS Scalper is a tool to help you find great scalping opportunities. There is great variety of ways to use this indicator to get amazing results. The VGNOMICS Scalper is a new trading indicator that can be used in any market. The technique we combine with this indicator is easy to learn and apply to your trades, but practice makes perfect. This indicator is based on a mathematical calculation that always occurs, no matter which time-frame, market, asset, option, stock or crypto.
How does it work?
The script determines whether we have a bullish or bearish trend based on a combination of price action and moving averages.
When the price crosses this trend, a buy or sell signal is placed (green or red arrow). The indicator will then draw 5 colored dots extended with 5 colored lines. Every line or dot represents a possible entry / exit position. These values are chosen based of a mathematical formula on the previous price movements.
The distance between the red en the black line is calculated from the price action from the current and previous candle.
If there was a big price movement, the distance between the black and the red line will be much greater than when the price action is much smaller.
The distance between the blue and the black line is always the same distance as the distance between the red and the black line.
The yellow line will always represent the high or the low, depending on whether there's a short or a long signal.
These lines tend to be key levels between which the price will bounce.
There are many ways to use and interpret these levels.
How to trade with this indicator?
We have allot of different strategies that can be implemented for this indicator.
But we will explain 3 working strategies that work for us.
Scalp trading is one of the most profitable forms of trading. They can lead to very high profits but are very hard to achieve. In this tutorial we will show you how the VGNOMICS Scalper indicator can assist you with locating great scalp opportunities.
The tutorial below is just one example of how this indicator can be used. Every line represents a key price level at which scalping opportunities can take place.
Strategy 1
Long position:
1) A green arrow at the bottom of the screen indicates a potential long position.
2) Wait for the candle to close. (The signal is only confirmed when the candle closes)
3) Candle closed.
4) Place a limit order for a long position at the yellow line. (Entry)
5) Place a take profit order at the orange line. (Exit)
6) Order is filled. (Long position)
7) Take profit at the orange line. (Exit)
8) Yellow line (entry) gets respected most of the time.
Short position:
1) A red arrow at the bottom of the screen indicates a potential short position.
2) Wait for the candle to close. (The signal is only confirmed when the candle closes)
3) Candle closed.
4) Place a limit order for a short position at the yellow line. (Entry)
5) Place a take profit order at the orange line. (Exit)
6) Order is filled. (Short position)
7) Take profit at the orange line. (Exit)
This strategy does not include a stoploss. It's up to you to implement this indicator in your own strategy. Stoploss orders could be placed at the lines (Key price levels) below / above your entry.
For example:
The stoploss order could have been placed on the black line, or alternatively, we could have placed a second long order on the black line and exit at the yellow line while we place a stoploss order on the blue line. (see strategy 2)
The price tends to swing between these key levels and can be used in various ways.
Strategy 2
Long position (same strategy for short postion but for a red arrow):
1) A green arrow at the bottom of the screen indicates a potential long position.
2) Wait for the candle to close. (The signal is only confirmed when the candle closes)
3) Candle closed.
4) Place a limit order for a long position at the yellow line. (Entry)
5) Place a take profit order at the orange line. (Exit)
6) Order is filled. (Long position)
7) Price did not reach our profit target orange line. (Exit)
8) Place a second limit order with the same size for a long position at the black line. (Entry)
9) Order is filled. (Long position)
10) Place a take profit order at the yellow line. (Exit)
11) Take profit at the yellow line and break even order for the first position. (Exit)
Strategy 3
Long position (same strategy for short postion but for a red arrow):
1) A green arrow at the bottom of the screen indicates a potential long position.
2) Wait for the candle to close. (The signal is only confirmed when the candle closes)
3) Candle closed.
4) Place a limit order for a long position at the black line. (Entry)
5) Order is filled. (Long position)
6) Place take profit orders at the yellow/orange/red line. (Exit)

Jackrabbit.SR-ATR-DCAThis is a standalone version of the Support and Resistance/Average True Range paradigm for the Jackrabbit suite and modulus framework. This module does not have a signal line and does not support integration with other modules.
Support and Resistance and ATR are preset and tuned to very specific settings for maximum profitability.
The blue line is the current average price of the asset.
The red line is the deviation boundary. Price action must be below this line for buys to be signaled.
The green line is the take profit. Price action must be above this line for a sell signal to be generated.
Here is a list of the settings:
Buy method: DCA or Strategy. DCA allows the module to decide buys based upon the methodology (step, price). Strategy added to the average on the basis of a buy signal from the strategy, but only when it is below the deviation and is the most organic of dollar cost averaging.
Sell Method. Take profit or Steategy. Take Profit sells the asset as soon as the price action crosses above the take profit line. Strategy sells on the basis of a sell signal, but only if it is above the take profit. Selling never occurs at a loss, with the only exception being the exit point.
Methodolgy: Step or Price. Stepping allows a fixed and uniform averaging ant percise intervals of deviation. Price is a very aggressive approach that will drive the average down on the basis of the difference between the average and the current price action. The price methodology is VERY high risk.
Take Profit, which describes the average profit percent of the combined positions.
Deviation, which describes the percent boundary for which price action must drop before additional assets are purchased.
Sideways Breaker: This algorithm breaks the sideways rut by forcing a purchase after X days, minimum 1 day.
Exit Position: Internal stop loss expressed in the number of buys.
It is important that when you establish your sell signal, ALL positions must be sold to ensure the average profit. If required, use a CLOSE ALL message provided by your platform. Also, any platform specific DCA or Safety Orders will cause losses as this script can not track their value. It is recommended that these features not be used.

Cyatophilum Swing Trader [ALERTSETUP]This is an indicator for swing trading which allows you to build your own strategies, backtest and alert. This version is the alertsetup which allows to create automated alerts hosted on TradingView servers that will trigger in form of emails, SMS, webhooks, notifications, and more. The backtest version can be found in my profile scripts page.
The particularity of this indicator is that it contains several indicators, including a custom one, that you can choose in a drop down list, as well as a trailing stop loss and take profit system.
The current indicators are :
CYATO AI: a custom indicator inspired by Donchian Channels that will catch each big trend and important reversal points .
The indicator has two major "bands" or channels and two minor bands. The major bands are bigger and are always displayed.
When price reaches a major band, acting as a support/resistance, it will either bounce on it or break through it. This is how "tops" and "bottoms", and breakouts are caught.
The minor bands are used to catch smaller moves inside the major bands. A combination of volume, momentum and price action is used to calculate the signals.
Advantages of this indicator: it should catch top and bottoms better than other swing trade indicators.
Cons of this indicator: Some minor moves might be ignored. Sometimes the script will catch a fakeout due to the Bands design.
Best timeframes to use it : 2H~4H
Sample:
Other indicators available:
SARMA: A combination of Parabolic Stop and Reverse and Exponential Moving Average (20 and 40) .
SAR: Regular Parabolic Stop and Reverse .
QQE: An indicator based on Quantitative Qualitative Estimation .
SUPERTREND: A reversal indicator based on Average True Range .
CHANNELS: The classic Donchian Channels .
More indicators might be added in the future.
About the signals: each entry (long & short) is calculated at bar close to avoid repainting. Exits (SL & TP) can either be intra-bar or at bar close using the Exit alert type parameter.
STOP LOSS SYSTEM
The base indicators listed above can be used with or without TP/SL.
TP and SL can be both turned on and off and configured for both directions.
The system can be configured with 3 parameters as follows:
Stop Loss Base % Price: Starting Value for LONG/SHORT stop loss
Trailing Stop % Price to Trigger First parameter related to the trailing stop loss. Percentage of price movement in the right direction required to make the stop loss line move.
Trailing Stop % Price Movement: Second parameter related to the trailing stop loss. Percentage for the stop loss trailing movement.
Another option is the "Reverse order on Stop Loss". Use this if you want the strategy to trigger a reverse order when a stop loss is hit.
TAKE PROFIT SYSTEM
The system can be configured with 2 parameters as follows:
Take Profit %: Take profit value in percentage of price.
Trailing Profit Deviation %: Percent deviation for the trailing take profit.
Combining indicators and Take Profit/Stop Loss
One thing to note is that if a reversal signal triggers during a trade, the trade will be closed before SL or TP is reached.
Indeed, the base indicators are reversal indicators, they will trigger long/short signals to follow the trend.
It is possible to use a takeprofit without stop loss, like in this example, knowing that the signal will reverse if the trade goes badly.
The base indicators settings can be changed in the "Advanced Parameters" section.
Configuration used for this snapshot:

Buy Sell SignalsWill be making more enhancements to the Buy Sell indicator in the coming days..
The main idea of the indicator is to pick up small but powerful ups and downs in the market.
I personally use 1 min Time Frame as it works the best for me. These are quick entries, you can either exit quickly or trail your stoplosses for a nice profit.
The design is to provide possible entry points. It is not designed to provide you with Exit points.
Also added the Current Day High & Current Day Low (CDH & CDL can change when new highs or new lows are made in intraday).
PDH & PDL denotes the Previous Day High and Low (these are static lines that do not change)
This gives you a sense of how the day is moving.
Please do your own analysis before you take up entries. Trade at your own risk..!
Time Frame: works best in intra day time frames like 1 min, 3 min and 5 mins
Signal:
Possible Long Trend: Background color is GREEN, there is a high possibility that the price would shoot up
Possible Short Trend: Background color is RED, there is a high possibility that the price would take a nose dive
A continued GREEN or RED background does not indicate a fresh entry, it merely shows that the conditions still haven't changed.
Risky traders can still take up a new position or add to their positions when there is a continuous same color - GREEN or RED
When there is no background color, it means that not all conditions are met to give a clear direction. In short the view is neutral.
Recommended Stop Loss or Take Profit:
I personally use 0.5% as the SL and 0.5% as TP. You can use multiples of 0.5% to keep trailing your profits. I've seen some very good results with this. By default, 0.5% for both SL & TP is shown with a grey dotted line for both the Long positions and Short positions.
Alternatively, you can also use the Resistance levels and Support levels as your SL and TP areas too.
Do backtest and find your sweet spot.
Good luck..!

How are the Buy/Sell Alerts fired?
We use the simple ATR (Average True Range) indicator. However we have modified the indicator to serve our trading system. Check below for a definition of what ATR is:
What is Average True Range - ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period. Specifically, ATR is a measure of volatility introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The average true range is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges.
Why is our indicator special and different from the normal ATR indicators?
We have modified the mathematical equation and changed it slightly to give more accurate signals, we do not promise all trades are profitable, the use of this indicator is up to your own judgement and liability. We believe that we have an indicator like no other ATR.
P.S: This is not financial advice, we are just sharing our indicator that we know has good results, and it will take time for people in -ve profiles to recover losses and for the profiting to be more profitable. We use a specific trading method that only works with it

Relative Normalized VolatilityThere are plenty of indicators that aim to measure the volatility (degree of variation) in the price of an instrument, the most well known being the average true range and the rolling standard deviation. Volatility indicators form the key components of most bands and trailing stops indicators, but can also be used to normalize oscillators, they are therefore extremely versatile.
Today proposed indicator aim to compare the estimated volatility of two instruments in order to provide various informations to the user, especially about risk and profitability.
CALCULATION
The relative normalized volatility (RNV) indicator is the ratio between the moving average of the absolute normalized price changes value of two securities, that is:
SMA(|Δ(a)/σ(a)|)
―――――――――――
SMA(|Δ(b)/σ(b)|)
Where a and b are two different securities (note that notation "Δ(x)" refer to the 1st difference of x, and the "||" notation is used to indicate absolute value, for example "|x|" means absolute value of x) .
INTERPRETATION
The indicator aim tell us which security is more volatile between a and b , with a value of the indicator greater than 1 indicating that a is on average more volatile than b over the last length period, while a value lower than 1 indicating that the security b is more on average volatile than a .
The indicator use the current symbol as a , while the second security b must be defined in the setting window (by default the S&P500). Risk and profitability are closely related to volatility, as larger price variations could potentially mean larger losses (but also larger gains), therefore a value of the indicator greater than 1 can indicate that it could be more risked (and profitable) to trade security a .
RNV using AMD (top) volatility against Intel (bottom) volatility.
RNV using EURUSD (top) volatility against USDJPY (bottom) volatility.
Larger values of length will make the indicator fluctuate less often around 1. You can also plot the logarithm of the ratio instead in order to have the indicator centered around 0, it will also help make values originally below 1 have more importance in the scale.
POSSIBLE ERRORS
If you compare different types of markets the indicator might return NaN values, this is because one market might be closed, for example if you compare AMD against BTCUSD with the indicator you will get NaN values. If you really need to compare two markets then increase your time frame, else use an histogram or area plot in order to have a cleaner plot.
CONCLUSION
An original indicator comparing the volatility between two securities has been presented. The choice of posting a volatility indicator has been made by my twitter followers, so if you want to decide which type of indicator i should do next make sure to check my twitter to see if there are polls available (i should do one after every posted indicator).
Kairos [Signals]Kairos bot looks for the opportune time to buy low and sell high at targets
It provides signals to open and close trades, and indicates favorable positions for a stop loss and profit taking
The Kairos bot can be used on any chart and on any time frame
---BACKTESTER---
Using the backtester script the user can look at a chart's history between selected dates to find optimal bot settings and optimal time frames
The backtester is based on general percentages for profit taking as indicated below:
-------------T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 CLOSE
1 Target: 50% 50%
2 Targets: 50% 25% 25%
3 Targets: 40% 30% 20% 10%
4 Targets: 40% 25% 20% 10% 5%
5 Targets: 35% 25% 20% 10% 5% 5%
6 Targets: 30% 25% 20% 10% 5% 5% 5%
ie: If 2 targets are selected:
- 50% of investment will be taken at target 1
- 25% of investment will be taken at target 2
- and the remainder 25% will be taken when the trade is closed on a close signal
However, it is up to the user's own risk appetite to determine where and how much profit to take
Note that the backtester does not have any on screen indicators other than OPEN and CLOSE, however profit taking can be indicated by ticking the Style -> Trades on Chart tick box on the settings userform
---SIGNALS---
The signals script can be used for automation and can indicate up to 6 potential Profit Targets, as well as a Stop Loss based on how many bars back needs to be taken into consideration
The signals (Open/Close) can be automated using TradingView alerts, however the Stop Loss and Profit Taking are only indicators and are for the users own interpretation
The user does not have to place a Stop Loss or take profit at the Targets if so wished, the bot can be used to simply buy on an OPEN signal and sell on a CLOSE signal, however, the backtester will indicate that it is far more profitable to take profits.
It is advised to take profits just below indicated Targets as these are potentially high selling zones and price action can sometimes turn down just short of these targets.

kiska cloudskiska clouds: crypto twitter's next cloud meme
Crypto is a fast-paced, highly-volatile asset, therefore, many traditional strategies are thrown out of the window when applied to cryptocurrency markets. In trading, there are only two things known for sure: price and volume. Price and volume data is then manipulated using various math equations in an effort to discover patterns and/or make predictions. kiska clouds are no different.
The kiska clouds are a simple crossover strategy. The clouds are different because of the unique averages being used and the embedded momentum indicator.
To use the clouds is simple:
When the green line crosses above the pink line, you buy/long.
When the green line crosses below the pink line, you sell/short.
The clouds are indicative of the trend's momentum. Using the power of math, the larger the cloud indicates a higher amount of buying/selling pressure. As the cloud thins, momentum is slowing, and the trend may be reversing.
At the time of testing, the strategy had a profitability of 54.55% accuracy with 1133.41% net profit. While I think this could be automated into a bot, adding a human element with stop losses and further analysis will significantly improve the accuracy/profitability.
This indicator is a "Pay What You Want" model. For a trial or to purchase this indicator, send me a message on Twitter @moonkiska or here on TradingView. You will be granted a 2-3 day trial period to the backtesting strategy.
Tips:
The higher the time frame, the more accurate the strategy.
Personally, I do not short above the 200MA. I do not long below the 200MA.
Coming Soon:

Greed Indicator | BennuQuantsGreed indicator. Applicable to traders who have issues taking profit at set targets.
This indicator has three inputs. Your entry, your profit target, and a margin % (if you are a degen). Given you entry price, you can see where (marked in gold) that you were in profit but didn't take profit. This is good feedback for psychological indicators which I think will be my next focus. Reasoning behind this was the many conversations that my old trading partner and I would have issues where we held positions for too long and they would reverse us out of profit. This should eliminate such behaviors or at least help to correct them.
I don't expect this to be that interesting to most, but its something. Will be publishing the script shortly
Green indicates proft, yellow marks greed periods, and red marks negative periods. Also an easy way to track a trades current profitability.
Bull Trend Indicator with Buy Signal on Chart (BTI wbs)Bull Trend Indicator with Buy Signal on Chart (BTI wbs)
Purpose:
- With so many coins/stocks to choose from, which ones do you buy to get profits ($) ? Enter BTI, you can use this indicator to find coins/stocks that have high chance of being profitable. The indicator finds potentially profitable coins/stocks and signals "buy"on the chart when it does. Best way to test this indicator is to load the top coins of the day and see how the indicator performs on past data. Emails/alerts can also be set on your favorite coins so that you get alerted/receive emails when its time to buy.
Some notes:
this is a minor modification of the original Bull Trend indicator with clear "buy" text added to plot on chart
- indicator is for crypto and stocks
- attempts to find bullish coins/stocks that will give maximum profits
- only produces buy signal on chart when the program estimates it will be bullish
- test this against the top coins of the day to see how it works, you will see recent buy signals which gives you time to buy
- test this against worst coins of the day and you will see there are no buy signals generated on down days which avoids buying
- test this against best performing stocks of the year and you will see plenty of buy signals to get profit
- play around with the time frames (usually 1hr, 2hr works for crypto, experiment with time)
- the shorter the timeframe used the more reliable is the calculation, but the disadvantage is it could be too late to buy so try to get a balance timing and accuracy
- for stocks could use longer time frame (usually 1 day)
- if the indicator does not plot, that means data is insufficient to do the calculations, so lower the timeframe until you get plots
- sorry by subscription only, message me if interested
- limited free trials
Intelligent Supertrend (AI) - Buy or Sell SignalIntroduction
This indicator uses machine learning (Artificial Intelligence) to solve a real human problem.
The artificial intelligence that operates this Supertrend was created by an algorithm that tests every single combination of input values across the entire chart history of an instrument for maximum profitability in real-time.
The Supertrend is one of the most popular indicators on the planet, yet no one really knows what input values work best in combination with each other. A reason for this is because not one set of input values is always going to be the best on every instrument, time-frame, and at any given point in time.
The "Intelligent Supertrend" solves this problem by constantly adapting the input values to match the most profitable combination so that no matter what happens, this Supertrend will be the most profitable.
Indicator Utility
The Intelligent Supertrend does not change what has already been plotted and does not repaint in any way which means that it is fully functional for trading in real-time.
Ultimately, there are no limiting factors within the range of combinations that have been programmed. The Supertrend will operate normally but will change input values according to what is currently the most profitable strategy.
Input Values
While a normal Supertrend would include two user-defined input values, the Intelligent Supertrend automates the input values according to what is currently the most profitable combination.
Additional Tools
The Optimised Supertrend is a tool that can be used to visual what input values the Supertrend AI is currently using. Additional tools to back-test this indicator will be added to this product soon.
