👤 Who Backtest Pro Is For
Backtest Pro is designed for traders who already have a trading methodology or entry/exit logic and want professional-grade validation and risk analysis.
Backtest Pro is not a signal service and does not provide discretionary trade recommendations. All entries and exits — including alerts used for automation — are generated solely from user-defined logic.
You bring the logic — Backtest Pro provides the structure, metrics, and discipline.
Backtest Pro helps swing traders, day traders, and strategy developers streamline the backtesting process without sacrificing depth or accuracy. It offers flexible stop management, enhanced Data Window metrics, refined Strategy Tester labeling, and clean on-chart visuals to support consistent evaluation.
Backtest Pro supports trading and backtesting on futures (continuous contracts), forex, crypto, stocks, ETFs, and commodity/index CFDs (tradable if offered by your broker).

🔄 From PSE to Backtest Pro
Backtest Pro builds on the foundation of the PSE (Practical Strategy Engine), evolving it into a more refined tool. While PSE introduced flexible stop handling, Backtest Pro enhances the experience with:
More accurate intrabar trailing stops
Expanded stop type options (Points, ATR Multiplier, %)
Upgraded Data Window for easier review
Clearer trade signals in the Strategy Tester
Cleaner, more consistent chart labels
Wash Sale Prevention is Now Optional. If enabled, it only applies to assets of types stock and fund.
🛠 INPUTS TAB SETTING
📅 Trading Window
Enable Trading Window to define the date/time when trading is allowed. Disable to trade the entire market data.
Partition the time when trading is allowed to see if your indicator settings work well across the different ranges. Your resulting metrics should be acceptable across all four (4) ranges: entire range, 1st half, IQR, and 2nd half.
Show Trading Window Lines – Enable to draw vertical lines at the start and end of the trading window for clear visual definition of when trading is allowed.
💰 Position Sizing (Money Management)
Separating the equity risk into initial position and pyramid position allows for greater ability to maximize profits within your acceptable drawdown.
Note : Position sizing is determined on the anticipated fill price which is affected by the maximum of slippage and selected price gap (discussed in the Execution Rules section). Max Equity per Position (%) : This setting applies to each position within a trade group . Limits the position size and will not exceed this amount. Set as desired. Default is 20% for non-leverage trading. For leveraged trading, adjust accordingly. Example: for 3× leverage, enter 300 (3 × 100 = 300).
Max Equity Drawdown Warning (%) : Triggers an alert if the strategy’s equity drawdown exceeds this threshold. Select the method to use for this warning. If BT Pro, then it is based on peak equity at bar-close. If TradingView, then it is based on the built-in variable strategy.max_drawdown_percent. Helps you manage strategy-level risk tolerance.
Scaled Pyramiding : Adjusts position size incrementally for each pyramid entry—either decreasing or increasing exposure relative to the prior entry.
Start Position: The entry number at which scaling begins. For example, 3 means scaling starts on the 2nd pyramid (the 3rd entry overall).
Chg(%): The percentage change applied to each subsequent pyramid entry.
Max(%): The maximum cumulative reduction allowed when scaling downward. Ignored for upward scaling because increases are already capped by Max Equity per Position (%).
⚖️ Execution Rules
Trade Direction : Select either Both , Long Only, or Short Only.
Alert Failed to Trade – Enable to alert you when a trade did not happen due to low equity or low order size. Applicable only for the first position of a trade group.
Cooldown Period : Controls how long the engine waits after an exit before allowing a new trade group. Backtest Pro also applies a small built-in safeguard to prevent unrealistic same-bar flips: ● 1 bar minimum for same-direction entries
● 2 bars minimum for direction changes
Prevent Wash Sales : Enable if you want the Backtest Pro to enforce a minimum cooldown period of 30 days for trade groups that result in a loss. Only applies to assets of types stock and fund.
Pyramid Conditions with Price Gaps : Dwn Gap and Up Gap refer to price gaps. A price gap is the difference between the closing price of the previous candle and the opening price of the current candle, and their value is shown in the Data Window. Selection options include: disabled (the default), median, avg, p80 (for 80th percentile), and p90 (for 90th percentile). The values reflect ~500 most recent bars from the cursor position. Disabled sets the Dwn Gap and Up Gap to zero in the below logic. Pyramids require a tailing stop loss, TSL. The price gaps are used in conditions for pyramids:
To ensure the previous position is protected when opening a pyramid position. A new pyramid position will not open until its trailing stop loss protects the prior position.
To prevent a pyramid position from becoming a loss when too close to a take profit level, TP (if enabled), due to commission cost.
The logic for #1 and #2 is as follows:
For a Long Pyramid: TSL: Stop Price - max(DwnGap, slippage) > LastEntryPrice
TP (if enabled): Long take profit > close + max(UpGap, slippage) AND gain > commission cost
For a Short Pyramid:
TSL: Stop Price + max(UpGap, slippage) < LastEntryPrice
TP (if enabled): Short take profit < close - max(DwnGap, slippage) AND gain > commission cost
Show All Gap Stats in Data Window
Enable to show all price gap statistics in the Data Window to review market conditions.
Disable for the Backtest Pro to run most efficiently.
Note: Statistics selected in Dwn Gap and Up Gap settings are always shown, regardless of this option.
🛑 Exit Strategy (Risk Management)
Backtest Pro supports multiple stop loss styles, giving traders the tools to backtest strategies in TradingView with precision:
The Exit Strategy applies a common protective stop across the entire trade group.
Pyramids require a trailing stop loss. A new pyramid position will not open until its trailing stop loss protects the prior position.
Plot Stop Level : You can plot the stop level either as of bar close (the default) or as of bar open. This only affects the visual plot. The underlying logic does not change. The trades will be the same regardless of the setting.
ATR Length : The ATR Length is used with the ATR multiplier and is common to stop loss, SL, trailing stop loss, TSL, take profit, TP, and the time-based exit option. It is the number of bars (periods) used in ATR calculation.
Price-Based Exits Stop Loss and Trailing Stop Loss options are Points, ATR Multiplier, and %.
The Trailing Stop Loss is activated from entry of the initial position of a trade group.
Take Profit options are Points, ATR Multiplier, %, and R-Multiple. How Trailing Stops Work in the Backtest Pro All trailing stop inputs (Points, ATR Multiplier, or %) are converted at the first entry into a fixed currency offset.
That offset is reactive intrabar and applied as the trailing distance from the most favorable price (highest for longs, lowest for shorts) since the first entry in the trade group.
Even if “%” is selected as the input method, the engine uses the fixed currency offset.
The trailing stop offset (points) is displayed in the Data Window for reference, allowing you to enter that offset directly at your broker if needed.
⚠️ Caution: Always enter a points-based trailing stop at your broker—never a percentage-based trailing stop. Volatility-Based Exit While in a trade, ATR values are accumulated each bar. The position exits once the total exceeds ATR Multiplier × ATR at entry if the Reward/Risk is below the set threshold.
Dividends are not included in reward (i.e., profit).
👉 These flexible stop types solve one of the biggest limitations of the legacy PSE and make Backtest Pro a true TradingView backtesting engine.
📑 Trade Signal Labels in Strategy Tester
Backtest Pro uses standardized trade labels in the Strategy Tester → List of Trades. These labels make it easy to understand the reason behind each entry or exit at a glance. Entry : Standard entry signal when conditions are met.
Stop : Stop-loss exit triggered at your defined stop level.
Pyr-Entry : Pyramid entry, adds to an existing position.
Trail-Stop : Trailing stop exit based on offset logic. Note : If the stop level has been adjusted to equal the trailing stop level, the Strategy Tester may display Stop instead of Trail-Stop. The exit displayed is the one Pine Script evaluates first, but the actual exit behavior remains correct.
Exit : Standard exit signal.
Delay-Exit : One-bar delayed exit, prevents immediate exit when position entry and exit signal occur on the same bar.
TP : Take Profit exit, closes position at your profit target.
RR-Exit : Reward/Risk exit — position closes when ATR accumulation exceeds the set threshold and R/R is below target.
📊 Performance Metrics & Reporting
Include Dividends in Profit
Adjusts ROI, CAGR, Reward/Risk, Avg Invest/Trade-Grp, and Equity.
Assumes dividends are taken as cash (not reinvested). They are applied to Equity on the ex-date instead of the payment date.
Only applies if the security issues dividends and the chart is 1D or lower timeframe; otherwise ignored.
Include Dividends in Profit Factor
Applies only when Include Dividends in Profit is enabled.
Adds dividend income to both gross profits and gross losses when calculating Profit Factor, so PF reflects total return (trading + dividends).
Affects Avg Trade-Grp Loss, Equity Loss from ECL, and Equity Loss from ECL (%).
Show Dividends
Displays the payout in currency/share, as well as the total amount based on the number of shares of the position(s) currently held by the trade group. For long positions you earned the dividends. For short positions you owe the dividends.
Show Metrics Table
The on-chart Metrics Table displays a compact set of key statistics for quick reference and mobile use. Full and expanded metrics are available in the Data Window on desktop or browser. Section groupings may differ between the table and Data Window to optimize readability and presentation in each context.
📊 Data Window
Note : Accessible via a button on the right-hand toolbar of the chart interface. Unlike the Metrics Table, Data Window values update dynamically as you move your cursor across bars. All metrics are based on trade groups.
Trade Information
Enter Price
Stop Price
Favorable Extreme : only shows if trailing stop loss is enabled on Inputs tab. The most favorable price (highest for longs, lowest for shorts) since the first entry in the trade group.
TSL Offset Points : only shows if trailing stop loss is enabled on Inputs tab.
Take Profit : only shows if take profit is enabled on Inputs tab.
Leverage information applies to trade groups.
Fail Pos / Margin (%) : Shows zero if the failed position size was <1, or the margin % that failed to meet the requirement in the Properties tab. A flag appears above the bar where a failed trade occurred. Only applies to the first position of a trade group. Hover over the flag to view the value in the Data Window.
Notional Value : total trade group position size x latest entry price x point value. The equity must be > notional value x margin requirement for a trade to occur.
Current Margin (%) : must be greater than margin requirement set on the Properties tab in order for a trade to occur.
Margin Call Price : when enabled on the Style tab is displayed on both the chart and the Data Window as shown below.
Performance Net Profit (%) : Will include dividends if 'Include Dividends in Profit' is enabled. Only shows in Data Window if 'Include Dividends in Profit' is enabled.
ROI (%) and CAGR (%) : Based on Avg Invest/Trade-Grp. Adjusted for dividends if enabled.
Reward/Risk (profit/risked, expectancy per amount risked): Adjusted for dividends if enabled. Color is green if above breakeven, red if below, and yellow if within ±0.1 tolerance.
Profit Factor (PF) : By default, dividends are not counted in win/loss classification.
Win % : Uses same coloring scheme as Reward/Risk except uses a ±2% tolerance for yellow. Breakeven point is the balance between Reward/Risk and Win %, showing whether the system can be profitable. For example, for a low Win % a high Reward/Risk is needed for the system to be potentially profitable. Equity & Growth
Equity : Your current equity.
Dividend Sum : The amount of total dividends accumulated since entering the market. Only shows in Data Window if 'Include Dividends in Profit' is enabled. Risk & Drawdown
Maximum Drawdown (MDD)
Measures the largest peak-to-trough decline in account equity over the entire backtest.
A new peak is recorded whenever equity reaches a new high; the system then tracks the lowest equity seen until a new peak forms.
This method uses bar-close equity including both realized and unrealized P&L. Therfore, it may not match TradingView’s displayed drawdown values which use a different method.
Maximum Drawdown %
Expresses MDD as a percentage of the equity peak from which the decline occurred.
This normalizes drawdown across different account sizes and assets, making strategy-to-strategy risk comparisons more meaningful.
Maximum Consecutive Losses applies to trade groups.
Equivalent Consecutive Losses (ECL) : Based on Win % and Nbr of Trade-Grp’s.
Simulates a realistic losing streak with intermittent small wins.
Lowered by increasing Win %.
Equity Loss from ECL : Equity drawdown estimated from ECL.
Equity Loss from ECL (%) : Same, expressed as a percentage.
Avg Trade-Grp Loss Trade Structure
Backtesting Years : The trading window in years.
Nbr of Trade-Grp’s : Count of trade groups.
Nbr of Positions : The count of positions shown on the chart.
The TV list of trades in the Strategy Tester may indicate more than what is actually shown on the chart.
Avg Invest/Trade-Grp : Avg money invested per trade group. Adjusted for dividends if enabled.
Avg Trade-Grp Days : The average number of days for trade groups.
Time in Market (%) : The percentage of time in a trade based on the trading window.
Cnt 1st EE Same-Bar is the count of first positions in a trade group that enter and exit on the same bar. Labels appear above for easy reference. Helps assess optimal stop-loss settings.
Cnt Pyr EE Same-Bar is the count of pyramid positions in a trade group that enter and exit on the same bar. Labels appear above for easy reference. Helps assess optimal stop-loss settings. Up Gaps / Dwn Gap (Ticks) ( Show All Gap Stats in Data Window enabled )

Dwn Gap : Shows selected option if not disabled.
Up Gap : Shows selected option if not disabled.
Data Quality
Tick Resolution measures how many minimum price increments (ticks) fit into the current asset’s price. It is calculated as: Tick Resolution = Price / Minimum Tick Size. This value indicates the precision available for order placement and stop calculations.
Green – High resolution (>= 1000). The strategy’s stop and profit calculations will operate with normal accuracy.
Yellow – Moderate resolution (100-999). Stop levels are still functional but may exhibit minor rounding effects.
Red – Low resolution (< 100). This can distort trailing stops, stop losses, or take profits due to coarse rounding by TradingView’s broker emulator.
⚠️ Caution : When Tick Resolution is in the red zone, results from backtests may differ significantly from live trading because price precision is too low for reliable simulation.
💡 Tip : If low tick resolution is present at the beginning of the chart’s market data (often with very old price history), use the Trading Window to restrict backtesting to later periods where the asset price has risen and tick resolution is higher.
👁 Visualization
Highlight Traded Background
Trade groups are shown in background color of green for long positions and red for short positions. Set as desired.
Show Losing Trade Groups
Losing trade groups are indicated at the exit with label text in the color blue. Used to easily find consecutive losses affecting your strategy’s performance. The dividend payment, if any, is not considered in the calculation of a win or loss.
Show Position Values
Enable to show the currency value of each position in gold color.
Show Max Drawdown (Peak & Trough) Enable to show the peak and trough labels on the price chart. Based on equity at bar close. Use to easily identify the bar associated with the peak and trough of equity.
Select label size for your preference.
Alert on Expiring GTC Orders
Backtest Pro includes an optional alert that warns you when a Good-Til-Canceled (GTC) order is approaching expiration. This feature is designed as a safety net, helping you avoid unprotected trades caused by broker-imposed GTC expirations. This alert is sent a few days before a 60-day time period you’re if still in an open position.
By default, the alert is enabled, offering protection for traders who may not actively monitor order expiry rules.
Professional users who already track expirations can disable the feature in the settings to streamline alerts.
🔌 Signal Connection
Click the dropdown and select the entry and exit signal to establish a connection to your indicator.
Separate Entry and Exit Signal Connections.
Backtest Pro requires separate entry and exit signals. Indicators that already produce distinct events integrate cleanly and make strategies easier to read, debug, and maintain.
If your indicator currently uses a combined signal (e.g., buy = 1, sell = –1, flat = 0), that structure can create overlap or conflicts during backtesting.
Don’t worry — later in this manual, you’ll learn exactly how to adapt your indicator so it outputs clear entry and exit signals compatible with Backtest Pro.
🔌 Configure Your Indicator for Entry and Exit Signals
This section explains how to structure your indicator’s entry and exit signals so they can connect seamlessly with the Backtest Pro engine.
Define your own conditions for when to enter or exit positions using any technical logic you prefer. You can configure exits independently of entries or make them dependent on them—for example, exiting only when the opposite entry condition occurs.
Below are a few examples of how you might define Long and Short Entry Signals before connecting them to Backtest Pro.
________________________________________________________________________________
Examples of Long Entry Signals
ind_sig_long = oscillator > UpperLimit
ind_sig_long = ta.crossover(ta.sma(close, 14), ta.sma(close, 28))
ind_sig_long = MACD_hist > 0 Examples of Short Entry Signals
ind_sig_short = oscillator < LowerLimit
ind_sig_short = ta.crossunder(ta.sma(close, 14), ta.sma(close, 28))
ind_sig_short = MACD_hist < 0 ________________________________________________________________________________
Combining and Refining Your Signals
If your indicator uses multiple internal conditions, you can combine them using logical operators or threshold rules before connecting to the Backtest Pro engine.
1. Combine multiple conditions
Use logical and / or to merge your conditions into one signal:
Entry_Long = ind_sig_long1 and ind_sig_long2 // both must be true
Entry_Short = ind_sig_short1 or ind_sig_short2 // either may be true ________________________________________________________________________________
2. Require a minimum number of confirming conditions
You can also define a threshold for how many entry conditions must be true before triggering a signal. This can help ensure stronger confirmation.
minNbr_Entries = input.int(defval=1, title='Min Number of Entry Conditions')
// Convert boolean signals to numeric form
longCount = (ind_sig_long1 ? 1 : 0) + (ind_sig_long2 ? 1 : 0)
shortCount = (ind_sig_short1 ? 1 : 0) + (ind_sig_short2 ? 1 : 0)
// Require at least minNbr_Entries to confirm signal
Entry_Long = longCount >= minNbr_Entries
Entry_Short = shortCount >= minNbr_Entries
Do likewise for your Exit conditions to ensure consistency in trade confirmation.
________________________________________________________________________________
Defining Exits
Independent of Entries
Exit_Long = ta.crossunder(ta.rsi(close, 14), 70)
Exit_Short = ta.crossover(ta.rsi(close, 14), 30) Dependent on Entries
Exit_Long = Entry_Short // exit longs when short entry triggers
Exit_Short = Entry_Long // exit shorts when long entry triggers ________________________________________________________________________________
Final Signals to Connect to Backtest Pro
entry_signal = Entry_Long ? 1 : Entry_Short ? -1 : 0
exit_signal = Exit_Long ? 1 : Exit_Short ? -1 : 0
plot(entry_signal, title="entry_signal", color = color.blue, display=display.data_window)
plot(exit_signal, title="exit_signal", color = color.red, display=display.data_window) ________________________________________________________________________________
Notes
You can easily expand this structure to handle three or more conditions by adding them to the count expression.
If your indicator already provides a single entry_signal, you can connect it directly to Backtest Pro without modification.
Always ensure your final Entry_Long, Entry_Short, Exit_Long, and Exit_Short variables are boolean (true / false).
🔒 Connecting Closed-Source Indicators
If your indicator is closed-source (meaning you cannot view or modify its internal code), you’ll need to work with the plotted values it provides.
Create a connection indicator that reads those plotted values and converts them into clear entry and exit signals using the logic described above.
This connection indicator acts as a bridge between the closed-source indicator and Backtest Pro, allowing you to translate its behavior into standardized signal logic that the engine can process.
⚙️ PROPERTIES TAB SETTING
Initial Capital : Set as desired.
Base Currency : Leave as Default. The Backtest Pro is designed to use the instrument’s native currency, so changing this is not necessary.
Order Size : Essentially disabled. Position sizing is handled in the Inputs tab and is based on a percentage of equity.
Pyramiding : Set as desired.
Commission : Enter as a percentage of position value. The Backtest Pro is designed to work only with commission expressed this way.
Verify Price for Limit Orders : Set as desired.
Slippage : Set as desired. See the Dwn/Up Gap values in Data Window to get an idea of possible values to use.
Margin (Leverage Trading):
The Backtest Pro supports both leveraged and non-leveraged trading (default is no leverage).
Note : The following two settings apply at the trade group level . For example, to trade with 5× leverage, enter 20 (1 ÷ 5 × 100 = 20).
Margin for Long Positions : Set as desired. Default is 100%.
Margin for Short Positions : Set as desired. Default is 100%.
Recalculate After Order Is Filled (default is enabled)
Enabling this allows the Backtest Pro to function correctly and to recalculate immediately after an order is filled , which makes it possible to:
Enter and exit on the same bar (because the strategy sees the fill instantly).
Trigger alerts immediately after the fill , instead of waiting for the next bar close.
You may see the following Caution! message in the TradingView Strategy Tester:
This warning occurs because the strategy parameter calc_on_order_fills = true . You can safely close the caution message and know the Backtest Pro will produce realistic backtest results.
Recalculate On every tick : Disable.
Fill Orders
Using Bar Magnifier : Recommended if your TradingView plan supports it. Improves intrabar accuracy, but the strategy can still run without it.
On Bar Close : Must remain disabled. Enabling this prevents the Backtest Pro from working as intended.
⚠️ Caution : Enabling On Bar Close forces all orders to be evaluated only at bar close. This disables intrabar logic, prevents same-bar entries and exits, and breaks trailing stop / pyramid behavior. For the Backtest Pro to work as intended, On Bar Close must remain disabled .
Using Standard OHLC : Recommended if running the strategy on Heikin Ashi charts. Otherwise, set as desired. The default is enabled.
📢 Using The Alert Dialog Box Message Field
When setting alerts, include alert() function calls with order fills to allow notifications for drawdown exceeded, Failed to Trade (if enabled), and to be warned of expiring GTC orders (if enabled).
Example Message for Order Fill Alerts
(This is just an example. Consult TV manual for possible placeholders to use.)
Position: Current = {{strategy.market_position}}, Previous = {{strategy.prev_market_position}}
{{strategy.order.action}} {{strategy.order.contracts}} shares at price = {{strategy.order.price}} on {{exchange}}:{{ticker}} (TF: {{interval}})
Equity_Multiplier = {{strategy.order.contracts}} x {{strategy.order.price}} ÷ {{plot("Equity")}}
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
Note :
Use a known account equity multiplied by Equity_Multiplier to determine the total currency amount required for position sizing—especially when managing multiple accounts with different equity levels.
What {{strategy.order.alert_message}} Includes
This placeholder automatically inserts the additional information generated for each order fill alert (blank for exits):
Stop Price (on first entries is based on bar close prior to order fill bar)
TSL Offset (Pts) distance from Favorable Extreme (for pyramid entries)
TP (on first entries is based on bar close prior to order fill bar)
Price Gap (Pts) based on your gap selection and slippage entered
Example Message for Bot Trading Alerts
(You must consult your specific bot for configuring the alert message. This is just an example.)
"action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
“price”: {{strategy.order.price}}
"amount": {{strategy.order.contracts}},
"botId": "1234"
Stoploss
WN 5-20-50 SMA Setup (Discrete Lines = SL TP) Multiple Entries Pretty Simple Script as I got this idea from a YouTuber that showed us how to use AI to make TradingView Indicators.
When the 5 day Simple Moving Average Goes Above the 20 day Simple Moving Average it issues a BUY Signal when the Trend itself is over the 50 day Simple Moving Average.
When the 5 day Simple Moving Average Goes Below the 20 day Simple Moving Average it issues a SELL Signal when the Trend itself is under the 50 day Simple Moving Average.
The Green Cloud Represents price over the 50 day Simple Moving Average. BUY signals will only show up in the green cloud.
The Red Cloud Represents price under the 50 day Simple Moving Average. SELL signals will only show up in the green cloud.
The lines represent Stop Loss and two Take Profit Levels. Take Profit 1 is 1.5x the stop loss and Take Profit 2 is 3x the Stop Loss.
This version of the Script has multiple Trend signals for entries so you can scale into a trade when the Trend is being aggressive.

This indicator does not provide financial advice or guaranteed profits. It is a technical tool designed to support trade planning and execution. Trading involves risk, and users should always conduct their own analysis and manage risk responsibly
Options SL/TP Price Projection Sim + Day Trading/Scalping Toolwww.tradingview.com
📌 What this indicator does
This indicator projects what your option contract will be worth when the stock reaches your Stop Loss or Take Profit — before price gets there.
Instead of guessing:
“How much will this option be worth if price hits my stop?”
“Is this move actually worth the risk in option dollars?”
You get instant, realistic option price estimates at your exact stock levels.
⚙️ How it works (simple but powerful)
The script uses a local delta + gamma approximation to estimate option price changes:
Delta → linear price sensitivity
Gamma → curvature for fast moves
Optional execution friction → realistic fills
Automatic Call / Put detection via delta sign
Enforced $0.01 minimum option price (real market behavior)
This is not a slow academic options model — it’s a trader-grade approximation designed for speed and clarity.
🚀 Designed specifically for DAY TRADING
This tool is optimized for:
Options scalping
Momentum trades
Breakouts & flushes
0DTE / weekly options
Holding times ~3–15 minutes
Why it excels here:
Delta + gamma dominate option pricing on fast moves
IV and theta usually don’t have time to fully reprice
You get actionable numbers, not theoretical noise
This is exactly the environment most option day traders operate in.
🧠 Key Features

Most traders manage risk in stock points , but trade options .
This indicator bridges that gap.
It lets you:
Judge true risk/reward in option dollars
Avoid “looks good on the chart, bad on the premium”
Compare setups objectively
Size trades more intelligently
Make faster, more confident decisions
It’s especially useful when spreads, gamma, and fast tape make intuition unreliable.
🧼 Philosophy: Clean > Complicated
This script intentionally avoids:
Full Black-Scholes modeling
IV forecasting
Overloaded settings
Visual clutter
Instead, it focuses on what matters for day traders:
“If price gets here quickly, what should my option be worth?”
⚠️ Important Notes
Best accuracy for fast, clean moves
Not intended for multi-hour holds or swing trading
Assumes relatively stable IV over short horizons
Execution friction is configurable to match real fills
Used correctly, this becomes a powerful decision-support tool, not a prediction engine.
✅ Who this indicator is for
Options day traders
Scalpers
Momentum traders
Anyone trading options off stock price levels
If you trade options intraday and manage risk using stock levels, this tool was built exactly for you.

Trading Module [BackQuant]Trading Module
A modular overlay that lets you combine three core components, a Trend Model, an Impulse Model, and an optional Stop Loss framework, then layer in a multi-symbol RSI screener plus a full price action toolkit (market structure, FVGs, order blocks, volumetric S/R). Built for discretionary execution and study, not for blind automation.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What this script is
This indicator is designed like a “module picker”. Instead of forcing one opinionated system, it gives you selectable models that can be combined into a workflow:
1) Trend Model , answers “what side is the market biased to?”
2) Impulse Model , answers “is there currently expansion, pressure, or a momentum event worth paying attention to?”
3) Stop Loss Layer , answers “where are reasonable invalidation zones if I’m managing risk manually?”
4) RSI Screener , answers “what are my watchlist assets doing right now, on multiple timeframes, in one place?”
5) Price Action Concepts , answers “what structure levels, imbalances, institutional zones, and volume-based levels matter?”
You can run it as a lightweight overlay (trend + impulse only), or turn on the heavier price action stack when you want deeper context.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
How to use it, the intended workflow
Step 1, pick your Trend Model
The trend model is your baseline directional filter. It is meant to reduce “random trading” by keeping you aligned with the dominant structure or momentum bias.
Trend Models (examples)
Typical usage:
- If the trend model reads bullish, you focus on long setups and avoid shorting into strength.
- If the trend model reads bearish, you focus on short setups and avoid catching bottoms.
- If the trend model is neutral or mixed, you reduce size or wait for confirmation.
What you can expect from the options (without exposing internal weighting or thresholds):
- Universal Trend+ , a composite trend regime model that blends multiple families of trend evidence. It is designed to be more robust than a single indicator and reduce “one-indicator failure modes”.
- EMA Cross , a classic fast vs slow trend bias. Simple, responsive, but can whipsaw in ranges.
- DEMA ATR , a smoother trend anchor that adapts to volatility. Often cleaner in chop than basic crosses.
- Relative Strength Overlay , a strength scoring style bias built from an RSI-style internal scoring process. Useful when you want “strength state” more than “moving average state”.
Color conventions:
- Long color and short color are user-defined, so you can keep consistent visuals across your BackQuant suite.
Step 2, pick your Impulse Model
Impulse is separate from trend on purpose. Trend answers direction, impulse answers timing. A market can be trending but not currently impulsing, or impulsing in a counter-trend squeeze.
Impulse Models (examples)
How to use impulse signals:
- Treat impulse as “permission” to engage, not as a standalone trade trigger.
- Best pairing is trend aligned impulse, meaning bullish trend model plus bullish impulse, bearish plus bearish.
- Counter-trend impulses can be used as warning signals, take-profit cues, or short-lived mean reversion opportunities, depending on your style.
The impulse options in this module are built around pressure and expansion detection. They are meant to identify moments where conditions shift from “noise” to “initiative activity”.
Step 3, choose a Stop Loss framework
This script includes optional stop visualization modes. These are not meant to be blindly used as a “one true stop”, they are tools for structuring invalidation around volatility or defined percentage bands.
Stop Loss (examples)
Stop loss options:
- None , no overlay.
- Dynamic , a volatility-aware band. Useful when you want stops to widen in high vol and tighten in low vol.
- Fixed , preset percentage bands. Useful for quick structure around risk units, scaling, or rule-based journaling.
- Bar-to-Bar , a micro-structure invalidation reference that uses the prior bar as a risk anchor. Useful for very tight management and fast invalidation.
How to apply them properly:
- Stops should be placed where the trade idea is wrong, not where you “feel pain”.
- A volatility stop is usually an environment stop, while a fixed stop is usually a plan stop.
- If you use impulses for entries, your stop should account for impulse volatility, otherwise you get stopped on the exact move you’re trying to capture.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
RSI Screener module
This module is built for scanning multiple symbols and timeframes from one chart, without switching tabs.
RSI Screener (example)
What it does:
- Lets you define up to 10 symbols (defaults to major crypto pairs).
- Each slot can have its own timeframe.
- Computes an RSI value per symbol and assigns a directional state relative to a midline threshold.
- Displays a stacked overlay readout using a monospace label style for quick scanning.
How to use it:
- Set slots 1–5 as your majors, 6–10 as your rotation candidates.
- Use higher timeframes for regime, lower timeframes for timing.
- Use the midline threshold as a “trend bias” line, not an overbought or oversold line.
- Treat the screener as context, not a signal. Your chart model and price action still decide the trade.
Performance note:
- Screeners are heavy by nature because each symbol is a security() request. Keep the number of enabled slots reasonable if you are on lower-end hardware or running many scripts.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Price Action Concepts and Market Structure stack
This script includes a full price action toolkit intended to provide “where” context, levels, zones, and structural breaks, so the trend and impulse models are not operating in a vacuum.
Price Action Concepts / Market Structure (example)
This section is split into five major blocks:
1) Market Structure, Swing and Internal
You can enable swing structure and internal structure separately, with independent lookbacks.
- Swing structure tracks larger, slower pivots, better for macro trend structure.
- Internal structure tracks tighter pivots, better for entry timing and micro shifts.
It prints structure events as:
- BOS (Break of Structure), continuation-style break.
- MSB (Market Structure Break), shift-style break. Some traders call this CHoCH, here it’s presented as an MSB concept.
Usage:
- Swing BOS is good for confirming a larger regime.
- Internal structure is good for timing entries within the swing context.
- If internal flips but swing does not, treat it as a warning, not necessarily a full reversal.
2) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Optional imbalance boxes that highlight displacement zones.
Key controls:
- Timeframe selection (or current timeframe).
- How many to keep on chart.
- How far to extend them right.
Usage:
- FVGs are best treated as “areas of interest”, not guaranteed support/resistance.
- They help you frame where price might rebalance after an impulse event.
3) Order Blocks (OB)
Optional institutional-style zones detected from structure and candle logic, with filters.
Key controls:
- Fractal type (3 or 5) changes how “strict” structure detection is.
- Break method (close vs high/low) changes confirmation strictness.
- Optional filter with FVG distance to reduce low-quality blocks.
- Extend, delete-when-filled, and label options for chart hygiene.
Usage:
- OBs are strongest when aligned with swing context and confirmed by volume or displacement.
- Filled blocks are informational, they can be removed to reduce clutter.
4) Volumetric Support and Resistance
This module creates support and resistance “zones” based on high-volume pivot events, then manages them over time.
Key controls:
- Detection sensitivity, volume multiplier, and lookback period.
- Minimum distance between zones to avoid stacking duplicates.
- Remove broken, extend, and volume display toggles.
How to interpret:
- Levels are thicker zones, not single price lines.
- “Touches” are tracked as an interaction count, useful for identifying repeatedly defended or attacked zones.
- High-volume zones are visually emphasized, these tend to matter more than low volume pivots.
Usage:
- Pair volumetric levels with impulse signals, an impulse into a high-volume resistance zone is not the same as an impulse in open space.
- Use volumetric levels as structure anchors for invalidation and targets.
5) Alerts
The price action stack includes alerts for new levels, touches, breaks, and order block creation or interaction.
Use alerts for:
- Watchlist management, you get notified when price hits an area.
- Avoiding screen-watching, especially when you run multi-timeframe setups.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Core philosophy of the module
This indicator is not “one model to rule them all”. It is meant to let you build a trading process:
- Trend decides bias.
- Impulse decides engagement timing.
- Price action decides location and structure.
- Stops decide risk containment.
- Screener decides where to look.
If you only use one layer, you are throwing away most of the edge this style of framework is designed to create. The strength is in confluence and filtering.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

ATR Trailing StopATR Trailing Stop (Dynamic Volatility Regimes)
==============================================
This indicator implements an adaptive ATR-based trailing stop for long positions. The stop automatically adjusts based on stock volatility, tightening during fast movements and widening during calm periods. It is designed as a trade management tool to help protect profits while staying aligned with strong trends.
How It Works
------------
* Tracks the highest high over a configurable lookback window and ensures this “top” never moves downward.
* Computes the trailing stop as:**Top – ATR × Dynamic Multiplier**
* The ATR multiplier changes depending on volatility:
* Low volatility → Wide stop (slower trailing)
* Medium volatility → Standard trailing
* High volatility → Tight stop (faster trailing)
* The trailing stop only moves upward; it never decreases.
* If price falls significantly below the stop (default: 5%), the system resets and begins trailing from a new top.
* An optional price-scale label displays:
* Current stop value
* Volatility regime (LOW / MID / HIGH)
* ATR percentage and active multiplier
Alerts
------
Two alert conditions are included:
### Trailing Stop – Near
Triggers when price moves within a user-defined percentage above the stop.
### Trailing Stop – Hit
Triggers when price touches or closes below the stop.
How to Use
----------
1. Add the indicator to any chart (daily timeframe recommended).
2. Configure:
* ATR length
* Lookback bars
* Volatility thresholds
* ATR multipliers
3. Set alerts for early warnings or stop-hit events.
4. Use the stop line as a dynamic risk-management tool to guide exit decisions and protect profits.
Notes
-----
* Designed for long-only trailing logic.
* This indicator does not generate entry signals; it is intended for stop management.
Vega Convexity Engine [PRO]ENGINEERED ASYMMETRY.
This is the flagship Stage 2 Specialist Model of the Vega Crypto Strategies ecosystem.
While the free "Regime Filter" tells you when to trade (filtering out chop), the Convexity Engine tells you how to trade. It activates only when the Regime Filter confirms an Impulse, classifying the specific vector of the market move to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
PRO FEATURES
This script visualizes the output of our Hierarchical Machine Learning Engine:
🚀 Directional Classification:
It does not just say "Buy." It classifies volatility into 4 distinct probability classes:
- EXPLOSION: High-confidence, high-velocity upside (Fat-Tail).
- RALLY: Standard trend continuation.
- PULLBACK: Short-term correction opportunity.
- CRASH: High-confidence downside (Long Squeeze Detection).
🛡️ Dynamic Risk Engine (Intraday Stops):
The "+" markers on your chart represent the Vega Institutional Stop Loss . These levels dynamically adjust based on Average True Range (ATR) and Volatility Z-Scores.
Strategy: If price breaches the "+" marker, the hypothesis is invalidated. Exit immediately.
📊 Institutional HUD:
A professional heads-up display showing the current Regime, Vector, and Risk Deployment status in real-time.
THE PHILOSOPHY
"Convexity" means limited downside with unlimited upside. By combining the Regime Filter (sitting in cash during noise) with Dynamic Stops (cutting losers fast), this engine is designed to capture the "fat tails" of the crypto market distribution.

Adaptive Risk Management [sgbpulse]1. Introduction:
Adaptive Risk Management is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive risk management tool directly on the chart. Instead of relying on complex manual calculations, the indicator automates all critical steps of trade planning. It dynamically calculates the estimated Entry Price , the Stop Loss location, the required Position Size (Quantity) based on your capital and risk limits, and the three Take Profit targets based on your defined Reward/Risk ratios. The indicator displays all these essential data points clearly and visually on the chart, ensuring you always know the potential risk-reward profile of every trade.
ARM : The A daptive R isk M anagement every trader needs to ARM themselves with.
2. The Critical Importance of Risk Management
Proper risk management is the cornerstone of successful trading. Consistent profitability in the market is impossible without rigorously defining risk limits.
Risk Control: This starts by setting the maximum risk amount you are willing to lose in a single trade (Risk per Trade), and limiting the total capital allocated to the position (Max Capital per Trade).
Defining Boundaries (Stop Loss & Take Profit): It is mandatory to define a technical Stop Loss and a Take Profit target. A fundamental rule of risk management is that the Reward/Risk Ratio (R/R) must be a minimum of 1:1.
3. Core Features, Adaptivity, and Customization
The Adaptive Risk Management indicator is engineered for use across all major trading styles, including Swing Trading, Intraday Trading, and Scalping, providing consistent risk control regardless of the chosen timeframe.
Real-Time Dynamic Adaptivity: The indicator calculates all risk management parameters (Entry, Stop Loss, Quantity) dynamically with every new bar, thus adapting instantly to changing market conditions.
Trend Direction Adjustment: Define the analysis direction (Long/Uptrend or Short/Downtrend).
Intraday Session Data Control: Full control over whether lookback calculations will include data from Extended Trading Hours (ETH), or if the daily calculations will start actively only from the first bar of Regular Trading Hours (RTH).
Status Validation: The indicator performs critical status checks and displays clear Warning Messages if risk conditions are not met.
4. Intuitive Visualization and Real-Time Data
Dynamic Tracking Lines: The Entry Price and Stop Loss lines are updated with every new bar. Crucially, the length of these lines dynamically reflects the calculation's lookback range (e.g., the extent of Lookback Bars or the location of the confirmed Pivot Point), providing a visual anchor for the calculated price.
Risk and Reward Zones: The indicator creates a graphical background fill between Entry and Stop Loss (marked with the risk color) and between Entry and the Reward Targets (marked with the reward color).
Essential Information Labels: Labels are placed at the end of each line, providing critical data: Estimated Entry Price, Stock/Contract Quantity (Quantity), Total Entry Amount, Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Total Financial Risk (Risk Amount), Exit Amount, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.1. Data Window Metrics (16 Full Series)
The indicator displays 16 full data series in the TradingView Data Window, allowing precise tracking of every calculation parameter:
Entry Data: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Entry Amount.
Risk Data (Stop Loss): Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Risk Amount, Exit Amount.
Reward Data (Take Profit): Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.2. Instant Tracking in the Status Line
The indicator displays 6 critical parameters continuously in the indicator's Status Line: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Estimated Stop Loss, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3.
5. Detailed Indicator Inputs
5.1 General
Focused Trend: Defines the analysis direction (Uptrend / Downtrend).
Max Capital per Trade: The maximum amount allocated to purchasing stocks/contracts (in account currency).
Risk per Trade: The maximum amount the user is willing to risk in this single trade (in account currency).
ATR Length: The lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation.
5.2 Intraday Session Data Control
Regular Hours Limitation : If enabled, all daily lookback calculations (for Entry/Stop Loss anchor points) will begin strictly from the first Regular Trading Hours (RTH) bar. This limits the lookback range to the current RTH session, excluding preceding Extended Trading Hours (ETH) data. Only relevant for Intraday charts. Default: False (Off)
5.3 Entry Inputs
Entry Method: Selects the entry price calculation method:
Current Price: Uses the closing price of the current bar as the estimated entry point (Market Entry).
ATR Real Bodies Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum Real Body over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Real Body over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum High price over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Low price over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The number of bars used to calculate the extremes in the ATR-based entry methods (Relevant only for ATR Real Bodies Margin and ATR Bars Margin methods).
ATR Multiplier (Entry): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to determine the estimated Entry Price.
5.4 Risk Inputs (Stop Loss)
Risk Method: Selects the Stop Loss price calculation method.
ATR Current Price Margin :
- Uptrend: Entry Price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Entry Price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Current Bar Margin :
- Uptrend: Current Bar's Low price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Current Bar's High price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Lowest Low over lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Highest High over lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Pivot Margin :
- Uptrend: The first confirmed Pivot Low point - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: The first confirmed Pivot High point + the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The lookback period for finding the extreme price used in the 'ATR Bars Margin' calculation.
ATR Multiplier (Risk): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to place the estimated Stop Loss. Note: If set to 0, the Stop Loss will be placed exactly at the technical anchor point, provided the Minimum Margin Value is also 0.
Minimum Margin Value: The minimum price value (e.g., $0.01) the Stop Loss margin buffer must be.
Pivot (Left / Right): The number of bars required on either side of the pivot bar for confirmation (relevant only for the ATR Pivot Margin method).
5.5 Reward Inputs (Take Profit)
Show Take Profit 1/2/3: ON/OFF switch to control the visibility of each Take Profit target.
Reward/Risk Ratio 1/ 2/ 3: Defines the R/R ratio for the profit target. Must be ≥1.0.
6. Indicator Status/Warning Messages
In situations where the Stop Loss location cannot be calculated logically and validly, often caused by a mismatch between the configured Focused Trend (Uptrend/Downtrend) and the actual price action, the indicator will display a warning message, explaining the reason and suggesting corrective action.
Status Message 1: Pivot reference unavailable
Condition: The Stop Loss is set to the "ATR Pivot Margin" method, but the anchor point (Pivot) is missing or inaccessible.
Message Displayed: "Pivot reference unavailable. Wait for valid price action, or adjust the Regular Hours Limitation setting or Pivot Left/Right inputs."
Status Message 2: Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe
Condition: The calculated Stop Loss is placed illogically or unsafely relative to the trend direction and the Entry price.
Message Displayed: "Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe for current trend. Wait for valid price action or adjust SL Lookback/Multiplier."
7. Summary
The Adaptive Risk Management (ARM) indicator provides a seamless and systematic approach to trade execution and risk control. By dynamically automating all critical trade parameters—from Entry Price and Stop Loss placement to Position Sizing and Take Profit targets—ARM removes emotional bias and ensures every trade adheres strictly to your predefined risk profile.
Key Benefits:
Systematic Risk Control: Strict enforcement of maximum capital allocation and risk per trade limits.
Adaptivity: Dynamic calculation of prices and quantities based on real-time market data (ATR and Lookback).
Clarity and Trust: Clear on-chart visualization, precise data metrics (16 series), and unambiguous Status/Warning Messages ensure transparency and reliability.
ARM allows traders to focus on strategy and analysis, confident that their execution complies with the core principles of professional risk management.

CK Auto Adaptive StoplossThis tool automatically finds the best stop-loss for every trade by analyzing candle structure, ATR volatility, volume spikes, and market momentum. It tightens or widens the stop dynamically and shows you exactly how many contracts you can use based on your risk per trade.
It also plots bold stop-loss lines on your chart and includes a live position-sizing table so you always stay consistent.
Multi-Entry Fibonacci CalculatorMulti-Entry Fibonacci Calculator
This tool is a comprehensive trade calculator designed for discretionary traders who plan to scale into positions. It automates the complex task of position sizing across up to three separate entries while ensuring your total risk exposure remains fixed. By inputting your desired entry, stop loss, and initial profit target levels, the script calculates the precise quantity for each entry and provides a dynamic, real-time view of your trade's vitals.
The primary goal of this script is to allow for disciplined risk management in multi-entry trade plans. Whether you are averaging into a position or adding on pullbacks, this tool ensures your total predefined risk is never exceeded, even if all entries are filled.
Key Features
Multi-Entry Position Sizing: Automatically calculates the share/contract size for up to three entries based on their distance from the stop loss and user-defined weights.
Fixed Risk Management: Define your total risk as a percentage of your account. The script ensures that a full stop-out across all filled entries will result in a loss equal to this predefined amount.
Dynamic Take Profit: The take-profit level automatically adjusts based on your current average entry price to preserve the original target profit amount in dollars.
Real-Time Info Panel: A customizable on-chart panel displays all critical trade data, including current quantity, average price, projected P&L, and trade status.
Visual Trade Plan: Plots all your defined price levels (entries, stop loss, take profit) directly on the chart with informative labels.
Trade State Tracking & Alerts: The script monitors the price and will trigger alerts when entries are hit, or when the stop loss or take profit levels are reached.
How to Use
Configure Account & Risk: In the settings, enter your "Account Size" and the "Risk per Trade (%)" you are willing to take on the entire position.
Set Trade Direction: Choose either "LONG" or "SHORT".
Input Price Levels: Manually enter the prices for your entries (Entry 1, 2, 3), your "Stop Loss Price," and an "Initial TP Reference." The initial TP is used to calculate the target profit in dollars.
Distribute Position Weight: Assign weights to each entry (e.g., 50% for Entry 1, 30% for Entry 2, 20% for Entry 3). The total should sum to 100.
Monitor the Trade: Use the info panel and on-chart visuals to track the trade's progress. The script will show your average price as entries are filled and update the dynamic take-profit level accordingly.
Understanding the Calculations
Weighted Position Sizing: The script calculates sizes for each entry so that if all entries are filled and the stop loss is hit, your total loss will equal your predefined risk amount. It intelligently allocates size based on the distance of each entry from the stop loss and the weight you assign to it.
Dynamic Take Profit: The "Initial TP Reference" is used only to calculate a target profit in dollars based on your first entry's size. The script then calculates a dynamic TP line on your chart. This line adjusts based on your average entry price as positions are filled, ensuring that if price reaches this level, you will realize your original target dollar profit, regardless of how many entries were filled.
On-Chart Elements
Price Lines: Blue lines for entries, a red line for the stop loss, and a green line for the dynamic take profit.
Labels: Display the calculated quantity for each entry, the total risk amount at the stop loss, and the target profit amount at the take profit.
Average Price: Yellow circles plot your live average entry price as the position is built.
Info Panel: A comprehensive table showing live trade status, current quantity, average price, and projected profit/loss. The panel changes color to green on a TP hit and red on an SL hit.

Position Sizing Calculator (Real-Time) - Futures Edition█ SUMMARY
The following indicator is a Position Sizing Calculator based on Average True Range (ATR), originally developed by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr., intended for real-time trading.
This script utilizes the user's account size, acceptable risk percentage, and a stop-loss distance based on ATR to dynamically calculate the appropriate position size for each trade in real time.
█ BACKGROUND
Developed for use on the Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures (MNQ), this script provides traders with continuously updated dynamic position sizes. It enables traders to instantly determine the exact number of contracts to use when entering a trade while staying within their acceptable risk tolerance.
This real-time position sizing tool helps traders make well-informed decisions when planning trade entries and calculating maximum stop-loss levels, ultimately enhancing risk management.
█ USER INPUTS

Acceptable Risk (%): Maximum percentage of the trading account that the user is willing to risk per trade.
ATR Multiplier for Stop-Loss: Multiplier used to determine the distance of the stop-loss from the current price, based on the ATR value.
ATR Length: The length of the lookback period used to calculate the ATR value.
Show Target Risk Row: Toggle to hide/show the Target Risk Row
SL Levels Display: Option to see Both, Long Only, Short Only, or None of the Stop Loss Level Values.
Contract Point Value ($): Point value per contract. Tooltip highlights common values.
Tick Size: Minimum Price Movement (Default set to 0.25)

(May Exceed User's Target Risk)
XRP CrossChain Momentum EngineThis is a strategy with stop loss 3% , leverage 4 and no pyramiding. It works great with XRP and other coins with similar price, but i suggest XRP. Profit in 1 year around 900% and profit in 2 years around 2000% as you can see in the pictures. I have initial capital 1000 but it can change.
ATR Risk Display - Multi FuturesWhat This Does
I got tired of manually calculating my ATR stops and risk for different futures contracts, especially when switching between ES, NQ, and their micro versions. This indicator automatically detects what futures symbol you're trading and shows you the exact tick count and dollar risk for your stop loss.
The Problem It Solves
If you trade futures with ATR-based stops, you know the hassle:
Different contracts have different tick values
You need to calculate position risk in dollars
Switching between symbols means redoing all the math
Renko charts make it even more confusing since ATR needs to come from regular candles
This handles all of that automatically.
Key Features
Auto-detects futures symbols - ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, and all the micros (MES, MNQ, etc.)
Shows everything you need in one line: ATR(timeframe) × multiplier = X ticks ($XXX)
Works on Renko charts - pulls ATR from regular timeframe charts (super important if you use Renko)
Adjustable position sizing - set your contract count and see total risk instantly
Clean, minimal display - just the info you need, no clutter
How to Use
Add it to any futures chart
Set your preferred ATR timeframe (I use 5-minute)
Set your ATR multiplier (I use 1.5x for my stops)
Set your contract size
That's it - the indicator handles the rest
The display will show something like: "ES ATR(5) × 1.5 = 12 ticks ($150)"
Settings Explained
ATR Timeframe: What timeframe to calculate ATR from (always uses regular candles, even on Renko)
ATR Multiplier: How many ATRs for your stop (1.5 is common, 2.0 for wider stops)
Number of Contracts: Your position size for risk calculation
Auto-Detect Symbol: Leave on unless you want to manually override
Supported Futures
Full size: ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, ZB, ZN, 6E, 6J
Micros: MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL
Notes
Made this primarily for my own ES trading but figured others might find it useful
The tick values are based on standard CME specs
If you trade other futures, you can modify the code to add them
Works great alongside level indicators for risk management
Why This Exists
I use ATR trailing stops on all my trades and got tired of doing mental math every time I switched between charts or contracts. Especially useful if you trade both full-size and micro contracts - the risk difference is huge and easy to mess up.
Hope this helps your trading! Feel free to suggest improvements.

Exponential Moving Average + ATR MTF [YSFX]Description:
This indicator is a reupload of a previously published EMA + ATR tool, updated and enhanced after a house rule violation to provide additional features and a cleaner, more versatile experience for traders.
It combines trend analysis and volatility measurement into one intuitive tool, allowing traders to visualize market direction, dynamic support and resistance, and adaptive risk levels—all in a clean, minimal interface.
The indicator calculates a customizable moving average (MA) type—EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, RMA, DEMA, TEMA, VWMA, LSMA, or KAMA—and surrounds it with ATR-based bands that expand and contract with market volatility. This creates a dynamic envelope around price, helping traders identify potential breakouts, pullbacks, or high-probability entry/exit zones.
Advanced Features:
Multiple MA types: Supports all major moving averages, including advanced options like KAMA, DEMA, and TEMA.
KAMA customization: Adjustable fast and slow lengths for precise tuning.
Dual timeframe support: Optionally use separate timeframes for the MA and ATR, or a global timeframe for both.
Dynamic ATR bands: Automatically adjust to market volatility, useful for setting adaptive stop-loss levels.
Optional fill: Shade the area between upper and lower ATR bands for a clear visual representation of volatility.
Flexible for all markets: Works across any timeframe or asset class.
Who It’s For:
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders, swing traders, and volatility-focused analysts who want to:
Confirm trend direction while accounting for volatility
Identify high-probability trade entries and exits
Implement dynamic, ATR-based stop-loss strategies
Keep charts clean and uncluttered while still capturing key market information
This reuploaded version ensures compliance with platform rules while offering enhanced flexibility and clarity for modern trading workflows.
RSI EMA Crossover with Price ActionThe RSI and RSI's EMA Crossover with Price Action (1:2 Risk-Reward) strategy combines Momentum, Trend confirmation, and Basic price-action logic to generate high-probability trade setups with Proper Risk Management.

It integrates price action filters to avoid false signals during low-volatility or choppy conditions.
The strategy also includes a risk-management module, setting a fixed 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio — automatically placing a take-profit target twice the size of the stop loss. Also the Stop loss can be adjusted to nearest swing low or last 3 candles Low. to avoid Stoploss hunt.
Features
✅ RSI and EMA crossover confirmation for directional bias
✅ Basic price-action validation (optional filters)
✅ Configurable stop-loss and take-profit levels (default 1:2)
✅ Visual trade markers for entries and exits

ATR SL/TP Precision Zones (Dots)ATR SL/TP Precision Zones (Dots) is a volatility-based tool designed to help traders set accurate Stop Loss and Take Profit levels based on real market volatility — not fixed pips or emotion.
This indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by 1.2 to calculate dynamic distance bands.
Instead of drawing a ribbon or channel, it places simple dots above and below each candle:
Upper Dot (Green) → Suggested Take Profit / Price Stretch Zone
Lower Dot (Red) → Suggested Stop Loss Cushion / Support Expansion Zone
Because ATR measures market volatility, these dots expand during high volatility and tighten during slow markets, helping traders avoid stop-loss hunts and premature exits.
Why This Works
Most traders lose because:
They set SL too close → stopped out by noise
They set TP too far → price never reaches it
This tool calibrates those distances automatically based on real price movement behavior.
ATR = volatility
Volatility = market breathing room
This indicator ensures your trade has room to breathe, increasing win consistency.
Best Use Cases
Scalping
Swing trading
Trend continuation entries
Reversal confirmations with support/resistance
Works on Crypto / Forex / Stocks / Futures

[Kpt-Ahab] Assistant: Risk & DCA PlannerScript Description – Assistant: Risk & DCA Planner
The Risk & DCA Planner is a technical assistant for position and risk management.
It automatically calculates, based on volatility (ATR%), swing structure, and your settings:
Stop-Loss (SL) and corresponding Take-Profit targets (TPs) in R-multiples
DCA (Dollar-Cost-Averaging) levels — both price and amount
A market suitability check (based on volatility & volume)
Plus a clear table and summary label displayed on the chart
The script helps you plan risk, scaling, and profit targets consistently and quantitatively.
Core Logic
Risk Profile
Three modes: Low, Normal, High.
These define how reactive the script behaves internally:
Low → conservative, longer lookbacks, tighter analysis
Normal → balanced
High → aggressive, faster reaction, wider stops
Stop-Loss (SL)
Automatically calculated from ATR% and recent swing structure, limited by minimum and maximum thresholds.
The SL percentage defines the R-unit, which all TPs and DCA levels are based on.
Take-Profits (TPs)
Up to six targets, each a multiple of the defined risk (e.g., 1R, 2R, 3R).
Prices are automatically adjusted depending on long or short direction.
DCA Strategy
Optional. Adds scaling levels evenly between Entry and SL or in multiples of the ATR.
Each DCA allocation grows geometrically until the maximum position size is reached.
Suitability Check
Evaluates whether the market is within an appropriate ATR% range and has sufficient volume.
The table displays “OK” or “Caution” depending on volatility and historical consistency.
Visualization
Lines for SL, TPs, and DCA levels
A table with all parameters, prices, and risk data
A chart label summarizing key info (profile, direction, SL%, TPs, DCA, etc.)
