- Parameters are added
Russian:
Перевожу на понятный. В новой версии 1.4 ничего не поменялось в логике, работает так же. Но добавлены новые параметры, можно поэкспериментировать с настройками, убедиться как что выгоднее.
Есть галка лонг и шорт. По умолчанию обе включены. Если убрать галку лонг, то исчезнут лонги вообще, если убрать шорт, то соответственно исчезнут шорты. По идее галку надо будет снимать если стратегия создает убыточные шорты, то их можно отключить. Смотреть в сводке показателей тестера стратегий профитны они или нет. По идее почти на всех парах крипто/фиат лучше ставить обе галки. Или убирайте галку шорт если не хотите шортить из религиозных соображений.
Добавлена галка отключающая быструю SMA. То есть если галку убрать то стратегия будет её игнорировать. Таким образом, параметр Fast SMA (который 5) перестанет влиять на результаты. Однако, скорее всего без этой галки станет только хуже. Но можете проверить. Позволяет убедиться что входить в сделку по быстрой SMA в среднем немного профитнее, чем входить где попало.
"Bars" - количество свечек одного цвета после после которых будет открываться сделка. По умолчанию 2. Можно от 0 до 3 ставить. Если 0 то цвет свечек игнорируется. Если 3, значит будет ждать 3 красных свечи подряд чтобы открыть лонг. Так же и с зелеными свечами для шорта. 2 - оптимально для пар типа биткойн/фиат. А для пар типа форк/фиат лучше ставить 1 свеча в параметре "Bars".

CCI Level Zero Strategy (by Marcoweb) v1.0Hi guys,
My strategy is ready :)
Finally the zero level of the CCI gives the start and stop to my positions. As you could notice, setting up the CCI length to 340 area on 1 minute chart will let the profit factor go up to 20% from an already wonderful 16%. This is a great result cause will let profitable trades run while stopping the wrong ones with a very limited loss. What makes our profit are not several small little positions that are clearly unrepitable in real trade but few and very profitable positions in which jumping in will be easier due to their length (71 bars average).
Please share with me your impressions and suggestions.
Have a nice trade :)
I_Heikin Ashi CandleWhen apply a strategy to Heikin Ashi Candle chart (HA candle), the strategy will use the open/close/high/low values of the Heikin Ashi candle to calculate the Profit and Loss, hence also affecting the Percent Profitable, Profit Factor, etc., often resulting a unrealistic high Percent Profitable and Profit Factor, which is misleading. But if you want to use the HA candle's values to calculate your indicator / strategy, but pass the normal candle's open/close/high/low values to the strategy to calculate the Profit / Loss, you can do this:
1) set up the main chart to be a normal candle chart
2) use this indicator script to plot a secondary window with indicator looks exactly like a HA-chart
3) to use the HA-candle's open/close/high/low value to calculate whatever indicator you want (you may need to create a separate script if you want to plot this indicator in a separate indicator window)
MACDouble + RSI (rec. 15min-2hr intrv) Uses two sets of MACD plus an RSI to either long or short. All three indicators trigger buy/sell as one (ie it's not 'IF MACD1 OR MACD2 OR RSI > 1 = buy", its more like "IF 1 AND 2 AND RSI=buy", all 3 match required for trigger)
The MACD inputs should be tweaked depending on timeframe and what you are trading. If you are doing 1, 3, 5 min or real frequent trading then 21/44/20 and 32/66/29 or other high value MACDs should be considered. If you are doing longer intervals like 2, 3, 4hr then consider 9/19/9 and 21/44/20 for MACDs (experiment! I picked these example #s randomly).
Ideal usage for the MACD sets is to have MACD2 inputs at around 1.5x, 2x, or 3x MACD1's inputs.
Other settings to consider: try having fastlength1=macdlength1 and then (fastlength2 = macdlength2 - 2). Like 10/26/10 and 23/48/20. This seems to increase net profit since it is more likely to trigger before major price moves, but may decrease profitable trade %. Conversely, consider FL1=MCDL1 and FL2 = MCDL2 + (FL2 * 0.5). Example: 10/26/10 and 22/48/30 this can increase profitable trade %, though may cost some net profit.
Feel free to message me with suggestions or questions.
SPY Master v1.0This is a simple swing trading algorithm that uses a fast RSI-EMA to trigger buy/cover signals and a slow RSI-EMA to trigger sell/short signals for SPY, an xchange-traded fund for the S&P 500.
The idea behind this strategy follows the premise that most profitable momentum trades usually occur during periods when price is trending up or down. Periods of flat price actions are usually where most unprofitable trades occur. Because we cannot predict exactly when trending periods will occur, the algorithm basically bets money on all trade opportunities during all market conditions. Despite an accuracy rate of only 40%, the algorithm's asymmetric risk/reward profile allows the average winner to be 2x the average loser. The end result is a positive (profitable) net payout.
TRADING RULES:
Buy/Cover = EMA3(RSI2) cross> 50
Sell/Short = EMA5(RSI2) cross< 50
BACKTEST SETTINGS:
- Period = March 2011 - Present
- Initial capital = $10,000
- Dividends excluded
- Trading costs excluded
PERFORMANCE COMPARISON:
There are 657 trades, which means 1,314 orders. Assuming each order costs $2 (what I pay for at Interactive Brokers), total trading costs should be $2,628.
-SPY (buy & hold) = 132.73 ---> 193.22 = +45.57% (dividends excluded)
-SPY Master v1.0 = $12,649 - $2,628 = $10,021 = +100.21%
DISCLAIMER: None of my ideas and posts are investment advice. Past performance is not an indication of future results. This strategy was constructed with the benefit of hindsight and its future performance cannot be guaranteed.

Vervoort Heiken Ashi Candlestick OscillatorHeiken-Ashi Candlestick Oscillator (HACO), by Sylvian Vervoort, is a digital oscillator version of the colored candlesticks.
Explanation from Vervoort:
"HACO is not meant to be an automatic trading system, so when there is a buy or sell signal from HACO, make sure it is confirmed by other TA techniques. HACO will certainly aid in signaling buy/sell opportunities and help you hold on to a trade, making it more profitable. The behavior of HACO is closely related to the level and speed of price change. It can be used on charts of any time frame ranging from intraday to monthly."
HACO has 2 configurable length parameters - "UP TEMA length" and "Down TEMA length". Vervoort suggests having them the same value.
I have also added an option to color the bars (overlay mode).

DEnvelope [Better Bollinger Bands]*** ***
Bollinger Bands (BB) usually expand quickly after a volatility increase but contract more slowly as volatility declines. This extended time it takes for BB to contract after a volatility drop can make trading some instruments using BB alone difficult or less profitable.
In the October 1998 issue of "Futures" there is an article written by Dennis McNicholl called "Better Bollinger Bands", in which the author recommends improving BB by modifying:
- the center line formula &
- different equations for calculating the bands.
These bands, called "DEnvelope", follow price more closely and respond faster to changes in volatility with these modifications.

Midnight Open Levels by haze!This indicator automatically plots the midnight open prices for both the New York (00:00 EST) and London (00:00 GMT) trading sessions. These levels are widely recognized in institutional trading frameworks as significant reference points for intraday price action.
What Are Midnight Open Levels?
Midnight open levels represent the price at which each major trading session begins at 00:00 local time. Institutional traders and algorithmic systems often reference these levels when making trading decisions, which can create zones of increased liquidity and potential price reactions.
This indicator is provided for educational purposes. No indicator guarantees profitable trades. Always practice proper risk management, use appropriate position sizing, and conduct your own analysis before making trading decisions.
ColorFlow EMA📊 ColorFlow EMA — Trend Flow & Bias Indicator
🔹 What This Indicator Does
ColorFlow EMA is a clean, visual trend-flow indicator designed to show directional bias and momentum state at a glance.
It uses two exponential moving averages:
Fast EMA (default: 10)
Slow EMA (default: 20)
The area between the EMAs is color-shaded to clearly display whether price is in a bullish or bearish flow.
🎨 Visual Logic
🔵 Blue shading → Bullish flow
(Fast EMA above Slow EMA)
🔴 Red shading → Bearish flow
(Fast EMA below Slow EMA)
Optional crossover markers can be enabled for visual confirmation when EMA alignment changes.
🧠 How to Use ColorFlow EMA
This indicator is not a standalone strategy and is not intended for signal-chasing.
It is best used as a context and bias filter alongside:
Price action
Market structure (HH/HL, LH/LL)
Support & resistance or supply & demand zones
Pullbacks vs premium/discount
Typical use cases:
Favor longs when the flow is blue
Favor shorts when the flow is red
Avoid forcing trades when EMAs are tangled or flat
Wait for pullbacks into structure instead of chasing price
⚠️ Important Notes
EMA crossovers alone do not guarantee profitable trades
Market conditions, structure, and location always matter
Works best in trending or transitioning markets
Not designed for ranging/choppy environments without context
⚙️ Customization
EMA lengths can be adjusted
Crossover markers can be toggled on/off
Designed to stay visually clean and uncluttered
🎯 Who This Indicator Is For
Traders who prioritize price action over indicators
Intraday traders (forex, indices, ETFs, stocks)
Traders who want clarity, not noise
📝 Final Thought
ColorFlow EMA answers one simple question:
“Should I be looking for longs or shorts here?”
Use it for bias, not prediction.

VWMA Cross Buy SignalCore Components & Logic
1. The Entry Engine (VWMA + Filters)
The strategy triggers a long signal when a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) crossover occurs.
Unlike a standard Simple Moving Average, the VWMA gives more weight to bars with higher volume. This ensures the indicator responds faster to "Smart Money" moves and slower to low-volume noise.
It uses a secondary Trend Filter (defaulting to the 200 EMA). By only buying when the price is above this line, the indicator forces you to stay on the right side of the primary market trend.
It requires volume to be higher than its recent average (e.g., 1.1× or 10% higher). This prevents entries on weak, low-conviction price moves.
2. The Dynamic Exit System
You have two distinct ways to manage your risk and targets, toggleable in the settings:
ATR Based (Volatility Adjusted): It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) to determine how volatile the stock is. By setting your Stop Loss at 2.0×ATR, you avoid getting "shaken out" by normal daily price fluctuations. The Take Profit is set at 4.4×ATR to capture large trend extensions.
Fixed % (Static): A more rigid approach where you set a hard percentage target (e.g., 10% gain / 5% loss).
3. The Performance Analytics Table
The grey minimalist table in the bottom-right corner uses cumulative percentage-based math to show:
Realized RRR: The actual Reward-to-Risk ratio based on your closed trades.
Break-Even Win Rate: The minimum win rate you need to stay profitable with your current RRR. It uses the formula:
BE WR=1+RRR1
Current Win Rate: Highlighted in Green if you are beating the Break-Even rate, or Red if the strategy is currently losing money on that specific stock.
Max Drawdown %: The most important metric for risk. It shows the largest peak-to-trough decline in your equity curve, letting you know how much losing streak can hurt your equity.
Strategic Use Case
This indicator is optimized for Stock Screening. When you flip through your watchlist, the table updates instantly.
If you see a stock with a high Win Rate and a Max Drawdown under 10%, you have found a ticker where the VWMA crossover logic is highly compatible with that stock's specific volatility. If the Win Rate cell is Red, you know the strategy is "un-tuned" for that asset and needs adjustment.
PyraTime 9 [Context Aware]PyraTime 9 is a highly customizable, noise-reduced mean-reversion indicator.
While traditional sequential counting indicators are "blind" printing signals purely based on candle counts regardless of market conditions PyraTime 9 is Context Aware. It was built to solve the common problem of "catching falling knives" by filtering signals through sophisticated trend and momentum checks.
Why use this over standard sequential counters?
Significantly Less Noise: The "Context Aware" logic filters out low-probability signals that occur against the dominant trend.
Intelligent Filtering: Unlike basic tools, you can choose how you validate trades. Filter signals using the 200 EMA, the "Master Angle" (Linear Regression Slope), or RSI Momentum.
Cleaner Visuals: The chart only displays valid, high-probability 9s, keeping your workspace clean and focused.
Key Features
1. Context-Aware Filtering Select how you want to validate your signals using the settings menu:
EMA Trend: Filters signals based on price relation to the 200 EMA (e.g., only show Buy 9s if price is above the EMA).
Master Angle: Filters signals based on the slope of Linear Regression.
Both (Strict): Requires both the EMA trend and the Master Angle to align with the trade direction for maximum safety.
2. RSI Momentum Check An optional quality control filter. If enabled, the indicator ensures momentum is not already overextended against you before signaling (e.g., a Buy 9 is only valid if RSI < 50).
3. Live Performance Dashboard A premium, on-chart dashboard tracks the historical strike rate of the signals on your current timeframe.
Real-Time Feedback: Instantly see if the current settings are profitable on the asset you are trading.
Reaction Period: Customizable setting to define what constitutes a "Win." By default, it checks 5 bars after a signal to see if price moved in your favor.
How to Use
Select your Filter Mode: For trending markets, use "EMA Trend." For volatile/choppy markets, use "Master Angle."
Wait for a 9: A green "9" indicates a potential buy setup; a red "9" indicates a potential sell setup.
Check the Dashboard: Ensure the current asset/timeframe has a historically high strike rate (green text) before taking action.

SMC Alpha Engine [PhenLabs]📊 SMC Alpha Engine
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC Alpha Engine is a comprehensive Smart Money Concepts indicator that automates institutional trading pattern recognition. Built for traders who understand that confluence is king, this indicator stacks multiple SMC elements together and scores them in real-time, allowing you to focus exclusively on high-probability setups.
Rather than manually tracking HTF bias, market structure, liquidity levels, order blocks, and fair value gaps separately, the SMC Alpha Engine consolidates everything into a unified scoring system. When enough factors align, you get a signal. When they don’t, you wait. This systematic approach removes emotion and subjectivity from SMC trading.
The indicator is designed around one core principle: only trade when the probabilities are stacked in your favor. By requiring multiple confluence factors before generating signals, it filters out the noise and keeps you focused on setups that institutional traders actually care about.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Automated confluence scoring system that evaluates 6 distinct SMC factors in real-time
HTF-to-LTF bias alignment ensuring trades flow with institutional direction
Intelligent liquidity sweep detection using wick-ratio analysis for confirmation
ATR-based FVG quality filtering that eliminates noise and shows only significant imbalances
Anti-spam signal logic preventing overtrading during volatile market conditions
Session-aware killzone integration timing entries with institutional activity windows
🔧 Core Components
HTF Bias Engine: Analyzes higher timeframe swing structure to establish directional bias using pivot high/low comparisons
Market Structure Module: Detects BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) with real-time confirmation
Premium/Discount Calculator: Dynamically maps price zones relative to recent swing range equilibrium
Liquidity Tracker: Monitors swing points as liquidity targets and identifies sweep events with rejection confirmation
POI Detector: Identifies valid Order Blocks with displacement requirements and Fair Value Gaps with ATR filtering
Confluence Scorer: Aggregates all factors into bull/bear scores displayed on real-time dashboard
🔥 Key Features
Multi-timeframe analysis combining HTF directional bias with LTF precision entries
Customizable confluence threshold from 1 (low filter) to 5 (sniper mode)
Three killzone sessions: London (02:00-05:00), NY AM (08:30-11:00), NY PM (13:30-16:00)
Flexible mitigation options for OBs and FVGs: Wick, Close, 50%, or None
Visual structure labeling for BOS and CHoCH events on chart
Real-time info dashboard showing all current market conditions and scores
Built-in alert conditions for BOS, liquidity sweeps, and high-confluence signals
🎨 Visualization
Premium Zone: Red-tinted box above equilibrium indicating sell-side interest areas
Discount Zone: Green-tinted box below equilibrium indicating buy-side interest areas
Equilibrium Line: Dotted gray line marking the 50% level of current range
Order Blocks: Color-coded boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) showing institutional candles
Fair Value Gaps: Teal boxes for bullish FVGs, maroon boxes for bearish FVGs
Killzone Backgrounds: Blue (London), Orange (NY AM), Purple (NY PM) session highlighting
Info Table: Top-right dashboard displaying HTF bias, LTF trend, zone, killzone status, and scores
📖 Usage Guidelines
HTF Settings
HTF Timeframe - Default: 60 - Controls higher timeframe for directional bias
HTF Swing Length - Default: 10, Range: 3+ - Determines pivot sensitivity for HTF trend
Market Structure Settings
LTF Swing Length - Default: 3, Range: 1-10 - Controls swing detection sensitivity
Show BOS/CHoCH - Default: Off - Toggles structure labels on chart
Show Strong/Weak Points - Default: Off - Displays swing point classifications
POI Settings
Show Valid Order Blocks - Default: Off - Displays OBs that caused displacement
Show Unmitigated FVGs - Default: On - Shows active fair value gaps
Filter FVG by ATR - Default: On - Only shows FVGs larger than 0.5x ATR
OB Mitigation Type - Options: Wick, Close, None - Determines when OBs are invalidated
FVG Mitigation Type - Options: Wick, Close, 50%, None - Determines when FVGs are filled
Confluence Settings
Minimum Score for Signal - Default: 4, Range: 1-5 - Required confluence level for entries
Show Entry Signals - Default: On - Toggles LONG/SHORT labels on chart
✅ Best Use Cases
Trend continuation trades during active killzone sessions with HTF alignment
Discount zone entries on bullish HTF bias with recent liquidity sweep below
Premium zone shorts on bearish HTF bias after liquidity grab above recent highs
Reversal identification following CHoCH with POI confluence in optimal zone
Filtering existing strategy signals by requiring minimum confluence score
⚠️ Limitations
HTF bias detection requires sufficient price history for accurate pivot identification
Liquidity sweep detection depends on wick-ratio settings and may miss some events
Order blocks require displacement confirmation which may exclude some valid zones
Confluence scoring is probabilistic and does not guarantee profitable outcomes
Killzone times are based on EST/EDT and require timezone adjustment for other regions
Signal spam prevention may delay valid signals by up to 10 bars after previous signal
💡 What Makes This Unique
Unified SMC Framework: Combines all major SMC concepts into one cohesive indicator rather than requiring multiple tools
Objective Scoring System: Removes subjectivity by quantifying confluence into measurable scores
Institutional Timing Integration: Built-in killzone awareness ensures signals align with high-volume sessions
Quality Filtering: ATR-based FVG filtering and displacement-required OBs eliminate low-quality setups
Anti-Overtrading Logic: Smart signal spacing prevents emotional trading during choppy conditions
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: HTF Bias Determination
Analyzes higher timeframe pivot highs and lows
Compares consecutive pivots to identify HH/HL (bullish) or LH/LL (bearish) sequences
Establishes directional filter that all signals must respect
Step 2: LTF Structure Mapping
Detects swing points on execution timeframe
Identifies BOS when price closes beyond confirmed swing level
Recognizes CHoCH when structure break occurs against current trend
Step 3: Confluence Calculation
Awards +1 for HTF bias alignment
Awards +1 for active killzone timing
Awards +1 for optimal zone positioning (discount for longs, premium for shorts)
Awards +1 for price at unmitigated POI
Awards +1 for recent liquidity sweep in trade direction
Awards +1 for recent supportive structure break
Step 4: Signal Generation
Compares total score against user-defined minimum threshold
Requires candle confirmation (bullish close for longs, bearish close for shorts)
Applies 10-bar spacing filter to prevent signal clustering
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed for traders already familiar with Smart Money Concepts. While it automates detection and scoring, understanding why each factor matters will significantly improve your ability to filter signals and manage trades effectively. Use the minimum confluence setting to match your risk tolerance, higher values mean fewer but higher-quality signals.
