Elliott Wave with Supertrend Exit - Strategy [presentTrading]## Introduction and How it is Different
The Elliott Wave with Supertrend Exit provides automated detection and validation of Elliott Wave patterns for algorithmic trading. It is designed to objectively identify high-probability wave formations and signal entries based on confirmed impulsive and corrective patterns.
* The Elliott part is mostly referenced from Elliott Wave by @LuxAlgo
Key advantages compared to discretionary Elliott Wave analysis:
- Wave Labeling and Counting: The strategy programmatically identifies swing pivot highs/lows with the Zigzag indicator and analyzes the waves between them. It labels the potential impulsive and corrective patterns as they form. This removes the subjectivity of manual wave counting.
- Pattern Validation: A rules-based engine confirms valid impulsive and corrective patterns by checking relative size relationships and fib ratios. Only confirmed wave counts are plotted and traded.
- Objective Entry Signals: Trades are entered systematically on the start of new impulsive waves in the direction of the trend. Pattern failures invalidate setups and stop out positions.
- Automated Trade Management: The strategy defines specific rules for profit targets at fib extensions, trailing stops at swing points, and exits on Supertrend reversals. This automates the entire trade lifecycle.
- Adaptability: The waveform recognition engine can be tuned by adjusting parameters like Zigzag depth and Supertrend settings. It adapts to evolving market conditions.

In summary, the strategy brings automation, objectivity and adaptability to Elliott Wave trading - removing subjective interpretation errors and emotional trading biases. It implements a rules-based, algorithmic approach for systematically trading Elliott Wave patterns across markets and timeframes.
## Trading Logic and Rules
The strategy follows specific trading rules based on the detected and validated Elliott Wave patterns.
Entry Rules
- Long entry when a new impulsive bullish (5-wave) pattern forms
- Short entry when a new impulsive bearish (5-wave) pattern forms
The key is entering on the start of a new potential trend wave rather than chasing.
Exit Rules
- Invalidation of wave pattern stops out the trade
- Close long trades on Supertrend downturn
- Close short trades on Supertrend upturn
- Use a stop loss of 10% of entry price (configurable)
Trade Management
- Scale out partial profits at Fibonacci levels
- Move stop to breakeven when price reaches 1.618 extension
- Trail stops below key swing points
- Target exits at next Fibonacci projection level
Risk Management
- Use stop losses on all trades
- Trade only highest probability setups
- Size positions according to chart timeframe
- Avoid overtrading when no clear patterns emerge
## Strategy - How it Works
The core logic follows these steps:
1. Find swing highs/lows with Zigzag indicator
2. Analyze pivot points to detect impulsive 5-wave patterns:
- Waves 1, 3, and 5 should not overlap
- Waves 3 and 5 must be longer than wave 1
- Confirm relative size relationships between waves
3. Validate corrective 3-wave patterns:
- Look for overlapping, choppy waves that retrace the prior impulsive wave
4. Plot validated waves and Fibonacci retracement levels
5. Signal entries when a new impulsive wave pattern forms
6. Manage exits based on pattern failures and Supertrend reversals
Impulsive Wave Validation
The strategy checks relative size relationships to confirm valid impulsive waves.
For uptrends, it ensures:
```
Copy code- Wave 3 is longer than wave 1
- Wave 5 is longer than wave 2
- Waves do not overlap
```
Corrective Wave Validation
The strategy identifies overlapping corrective patterns that retrace the prior impulsive wave within Fibonacci levels.
Pattern Failure Invalidation
If waves fail validation tests, the strategy invalidates the pattern and stops signaling trades.
## Trade Direction
The strategy detects impulsive and corrective patterns in both uptrends and downtrends. Entries are signaled in the direction of the validated wave pattern.
## Usage
- Use on charts showing clear Elliott Wave patterns
- Start with daily or weekly timeframes to gauge overall trend
- Optimize Zigzag and Supertrend settings as needed
- Consider combining with other indicators for confirmation
## Default Settings
- Zigzag Length: 4 bars
- Supertrend Length: 10 bars
- Supertrend Multiplier: 3
- Stop Loss: 10% of entry price
- Trading Direction: Both

TrendGuard Flag Finder - Strategy [presentTrading]
Introduction and How It Is Different
In the vast world of trading strategies, the TrendGuard Flag Finder stands out as a unique blend of traditional flag pattern detection and the renowned SuperTrend indicator.
- A significant portion of the Flag Pattern detection is inspired by the "Flag Finder" code by @Amphibiantrading, which serves as one of foundational element of this strategy.
- While many strategies focus on either trend-following or pattern recognition, this strategy harmoniously combines both, offering traders a more holistic view of the market.
- The integration of the SuperTrend indicator not only provides a clear direction of the prevailing trend but also offers potential stop-loss levels, enhancing the strategy's risk management capabilities.

Strategy: How It Works
The TrendGuard Flag Finder is primarily built on two pillars:
1. Flag Pattern Detection : At its core, the strategy identifies flag patterns, which are continuation patterns suggesting that the prevailing trend will resume after a brief consolidation. The strategy meticulously detects both bullish and bearish flags, ensuring traders can capitalize on opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
What is a Flag Pattern? A flag pattern consists of two main components:
1.1 The Pole : This is the initial strong price move, which can be either upwards (for bullish flags) or downwards (for bearish flags). The pole represents a strong surge in price in a particular direction, driven by significant buying or selling momentum.
1.2 The Flag : Following the pole, the price starts consolidating, moving against the initial trend. This consolidation forms a rectangular shape and is characterized by parallel trendlines. In a bullish flag, the consolidation will have a slight downward tilt, while in a bearish flag, it will have a slight upward tilt.
How the Strategy Detects Flags:
Identifying the Pole: The strategy first identifies a strong price movement over a user-defined number of bars. This movement should meet a certain percentage change to qualify as a pole.
Spotting the Flag: After the pole is identified, the strategy looks for a consolidation phase. The consolidation should be counter to the prevailing trend and should be contained within parallel lines. The depth (for bullish flags) or rally (for bearish flags) of this consolidation is calculated to ensure it meets user-defined criteria.
2. SuperTrend Integration : The SuperTrend indicator, known for its simplicity and effectiveness, is integrated into the strategy. It provides a dynamic line on the chart, signaling the prevailing trend. When prices are above the SuperTrend line, it's an indication of an uptrend, and vice versa. This not only confirms the flag pattern's direction but also offers a potential stop-loss level for trades.
When combined, these components allow traders to identify potential breakout (for bullish flags) or breakdown (for bearish flags) scenarios, backed by the momentum indicated by the SuperTrend.
Usage
To use the SuperTrend Enhanced Flag Finder:
- Inputs : Begin by setting the desired parameters. The strategy offers a range of user-controlled settings, allowing for customization based on individual trading preferences and risk tolerance.
- Visualization : Once the parameters are set, the strategy will identify and visually represent flag patterns on the chart. Bullish flags are represented in green, while bearish flags are in red.
- Trade Execution : When a breakout or breakdown is identified, the strategy provides entry signals. It also offers exit signals based on the SuperTrend, ensuring that traders can capitalize on the momentum while managing risk.
Default Settings
The strategy comes with a set of default settings optimized for general use:
- SuperTrend Parameters: Length set to 10 and Factor set to 5.0.
- Bull Flag Criteria: Max Flag Depth at 7, Max Flag Length at 10 bars, Min Flag Length at 3 bars, Prior Uptrend Minimum at 9%, and Flag Pole Length between 7 to 13 bars.
- Bear Flag Criteria: Similar settings adjusted for bearish patterns.
- Display Options: By default, both bullish and bearish flags are displayed, with breakout and breakdown points highlighted.
Liquidity Breakout - Strategy [presentTrading]- Introduction and How It Is Different
The Liquidity Breakout Strategy is a unique trading strategy that focuses on identifying and leveraging patterns in market price data. This strategy, mainly inspired by the script "Master Pattern" by LuxAlgo, takes a different approach from many traditional strategies that rely on technical indicators or fundamental analysis. Instead, the Liquidity Breakout is based on the concept of contraction detection and liquidity levels. This approach allows traders to identify potential trading opportunities that other strategies might miss.
BTCUSDT 6h
The strategy is different from other trading strategies because it uses a unique combination of pattern detection, liquidity levels, and user-defined trading direction. This combination allows the strategy to adapt to various market conditions and trading styles, making it a versatile tool for traders.
- Strategy: How It Works
1. Contraction Detection: The strategy uses a lookback period defined by the user (default is 10 bars) to identify contractions in the market. A contraction is a period where the market is consolidating, often followed by a significant price movement. The strategy identifies contractions by finding pivot highs and pivot lows within the lookback period. If a pivot high is lower than the previous pivot high and a pivot low is higher than the previous pivot low, a contraction is detected.
2. liquidity Levels:
What are Liquidity levels? Liquidity levels, also known as liquidity pools or zones, are price levels at which there is a significant amount of trading activity. They are often areas where large institutional traders (like banks or hedge funds) have placed orders. These levels are important because they can act as support or resistance levels, and price often reacts at these levels.
In the context of this strategy, liquidity levels are used to identify potential entry and exit points for trades. When the price reaches a liquidity level, it could indicate a potential trading opportunity. For example, if the price breaks through a liquidity level, it could signal the start of a new trend. On the other hand, if the price approaches a liquidity level and then reverses, it could signal a potential reversal.
The strategy uses these two elements to identify potential trading opportunities. When a contraction is detected, the strategy will look for a breakout in the direction of the trend. If the breakout occurs at a liquidity level, the strategy will execute a trade.
The strategy also allows traders to set their stop loss based on either the Average True Range (ATR) or a fixed percentage. This flexibility allows traders to manage their risk according to their personal risk tolerance and trading style.
- Trade Direction
One of the unique features of the Master Pattern Strategy is the ability to choose the trading direction. Traders can choose to trade in the "Long" direction, the "Short" direction, or "Both". This feature allows traders to adapt the strategy to their personal trading style and market outlook.
For example, if a trader believes that the market is in an uptrend, they can choose to trade only in the "Long" direction. Conversely, if the market is in a downtrend, they can choose to trade only in the "Short" direction. If the trader believes that the market is volatile and there are opportunities in both directions, they can choose to trade in "Both" directions.
- Usage
To use the strategy, traders need to input their preferred settings, including the contraction detection lookback period, liquidity levels, stop loss type, and trading direction. Once these settings are input, the strategy will automatically detect potential trading opportunities and execute trades according to the defined parameters.
- Default Settings
The default settings for the Master Pattern Strategy are as follows:
Contraction Detection Lookback: 10
Liquidity Levels: 20
Stop Loss Type: ATR
ATR Length: 20
ATR Multiplier: 3.0
Fixed Percentage: 0.01
Trading Direction: Both
These settings can be adjusted according to the trader's personal preferences and market conditions. It's recommended that traders experiment with different settings to find the ones that work best for their trading style and goals.
CCI+EMA Strategy with Percentage or ATR TP/SL [Alifer]This is a momentum strategy based on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), with the aim of entering long trades in oversold conditions and short trades in overbought conditions.
Optionally, you can enable an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to only allow trading in the direction of the larger trend. Please note that the strategy will not plot the EMA. If you want, for visual confirmation, you can add to the chart an Exponential Moving Average as a second indicator, with the same settings used in the strategy’s built-in EMA.
The strategy also allows you to set internal Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, with the option to choose between Percentage-based TP/SL or ATR-based TP/SL.
The strategy can be adapted to multiple assets and timeframes:
Pick an asset and a timeframe
Zoom back as far as possible to identify meaningful positive and negative peaks of the CCI
Set Overbought and Oversold at a rough average of the peaks you identified
Adjust TP/SL according to your risk management strategy

CAUTIONARY WARNING
Please note that this is a complex trading strategy that involves several inputs and conditions. Before using it in live trading, it is highly recommended to thoroughly test it on historical data and use risk management techniques to safeguard your capital. After backtesting, it's also highly recommended to perform a first live test with a small amount. Additionally, it's essential to have a good understanding of the strategy's behavior and potential risks. Only risk what you can afford to lose .
USED INDICATORS
1 — COMMODITY CHANNEL INDEX (CCI)
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a technical analysis indicator used to measure the momentum of an asset. It was developed by Donald Lambert and first published in Commodities magazine (now Futures) in 1980. Despite its name, the CCI can be used in any market and is not just for commodities. The CCI compares current price to average price over a specific time period. The indicator fluctuates above or below zero, moving into positive or negative territory. While most values, approximately 75%, fall between -100 and +100, about 25% of the values fall outside this range, indicating a lot of weakness or strength in the price movement.
The CCI was originally developed to spot long-term trend changes but has been adapted by traders for use on all markets or timeframes. Trading with multiple timeframes provides more buy or sell signals for active traders. Traders often use the CCI on the longer-term chart to establish the dominant trend and on the shorter-term chart to isolate pullbacks and generate trade signals.
CCI is calculated with the following formula:
(Typical Price - Simple Moving Average) / (0.015 x Mean Deviation)
Some trading strategies based on CCI can produce multiple false signals or losing trades when conditions turn choppy. Implementing a stop-loss strategy can help cap risk, and testing the CCI strategy for profitability on your market and timeframe is a worthy first step before initiating trades.
2 — AVERAGE TRUE RANGE (ATR)
The Average True Range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility by calculating the average range of price movements in a financial asset over a specific period of time. The ATR was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his book “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems” in 1978.
The ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range over a specified period. The true range is the greatest of the following:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The difference between the previous close and the current high.
The difference between the previous close and the current low.
The ATR can be used to set stop-loss orders. One way to use ATR for stop-loss orders is to multiply the ATR by a factor (such as 2 or 3) and subtract it from the entry price for long positions or add it to the entry price for short positions. This can help traders set stop-loss orders that are more adaptive to market volatility.
3 — EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE (EMA)
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.
The EMA is calculated by taking the average of the true range over a specified period. The true range is the greatest of the following:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The difference between the previous close and the current high.
The difference between the previous close and the current low.
The EMA can be used by traders to produce buy and sell signals based on crossovers and divergences from the historical average. Traders often use several different EMA lengths, such as 10-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages.
The formula for calculating EMA is as follows:
Compute the Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Calculate the multiplier for weighting the EMA.
Calculate the current EMA using the following formula:
EMA = Closing price x multiplier + EMA (previous day) x (1-multiplier)
STRATEGY EXPLANATION
1 — INPUTS AND PARAMETERS
The strategy uses the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with additional options for an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL).
length : The period length for the CCI calculation.
overbought : The overbought level for the CCI. When CCI crosses above this level, it may signal a potential short entry.
oversold : The oversold level for the CCI. When CCI crosses below this level, it may signal a potential long entry.
useEMA : A boolean input to enable or disable the use of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a filter for long and short entries.
emaLength : The period length for the EMA if it is used.
2 — CCI CALCULATION
The CCI indicator is calculated using the following formula:
(src - ma) / (0.015 * ta.dev(src, length))
src is the typical price (average of high, low, and close) and ma is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of src over the specified length.
3 — EMA CALCULATION
If the useEMA option is enabled, an EMA is calculated with the given emaLength .
4 — TAKE PROFIT AND STOP LOSS METHODS
The strategy offers two methods for TP and SL calculations: percentage-based and ATR-based.
tpSlMethod_percentage : A boolean input to choose the percentage-based method.
tpSlMethod_atr : A boolean input to choose the ATR-based method.
5 — PERCENTAGE-BASED TP AND SL
If tpSlMethod_percentage is chosen, the strategy calculates the TP and SL levels based on a percentage of the average entry price.
tp_percentage : The percentage value for Take Profit.
sl_percentage : The percentage value for Stop Loss.
6 — ATR-BASED TP AND SL
If tpSlMethod_atr is chosen, the strategy calculates the TP and SL levels based on Average True Range (ATR).
atrLength : The period length for the ATR calculation.
atrMultiplier : A multiplier applied to the ATR to set the SL level.
riskRewardRatio : The risk-reward ratio used to calculate the TP level.
7 — ENTRY CONDITIONS
The strategy defines two conditions for entering long and short positions based on CCI and, optionally, EMA.
Long Entry: CCI crosses below the oversold level, and if useEMA is enabled, the closing price should be above the EMA.
Short Entry: CCI crosses above the overbought level, and if useEMA is enabled, the closing price should be below the EMA.
8 — TP AND SL LEVELS
The strategy calculates the TP and SL levels based on the chosen method and updates them dynamically.
For the percentage-based method, the TP and SL levels are calculated as a percentage of the average entry price.
For the ATR-based method, the TP and SL levels are calculated using the ATR value and the specified multipliers.
9 — EXIT CONDITIONS
The strategy defines exit conditions for both long and short positions.
If there is a long position, it will be closed either at TP or SL levels based on the chosen method.
If there is a short position, it will be closed either at TP or SL levels based on the chosen method.
Additionally, positions will be closed if CCI crosses back above oversold in long positions or below overbought in short positions.
10 — PLOTTING
The script plots the CCI line along with overbought and oversold levels as horizontal lines.
The CCI line is colored red when above the overbought level, green when below the oversold level, and white otherwise.
The shaded region between the overbought and oversold levels is plotted as well.
SuperTrend Enhanced Pivot Reversal - Strategy [PresentTrading]
- Introduction and How it is Different
The SuperTrend Enhanced Pivot Reversal is a unique approach to trading that combines the best of two worlds: the precision of pivot reversal points and the trend-following power of the SuperTrend indicator. This strategy is designed to provide traders with clear entry and exit points, while also filtering out potentially false signals using the SuperTrend indicator.
BTCUSDT 6hr
ETHBTC 6hr
Unlike traditional pivot reversal strategies, this approach uses the SuperTrend indicator as a filter. This means that it only takes trades that align with the overall trend, as determined by the SuperTrend indicator. This can help to reduce the number of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the strategy.
The Pivot Reversal Strategy with SuperTrend Filter is particularly well-suited to the cryptocurrency market for the reason of High Volatility. This means that prices can change rapidly in a very short time, making it possible to make a profit quickly. The strategy's use of pivot points allows traders to take advantage of these rapid price changes by identifying potential reversal points
- Strategy: How it Works
The strategy works by identifying pivot reversal points, which are points in the price chart where the price is likely to reverse. These points are identified using a combination of the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions, which find the highest and lowest points in the price chart over a certain period.
Once a pivot reversal point is identified, the strategy checks the direction of the SuperTrend indicator. If the SuperTrend is positive (indicating an uptrend), the strategy will only take long trades. If the SuperTrend is negative (indicating a downtrend), the strategy will only take short trades.
The strategy also includes a stop loss level, which is set as a percentage of the entry price. This helps to limit potential losses if the price moves in the opposite direction to the trade.
- Trade Direction
The trade direction can be set to "Long", "Short", or "Both". This allows the trader to choose whether they want to take only long trades (buying low and selling high), only short trades (selling high and buying low), or both. This can be useful depending on the trader's view of the market and their risk tolerance.
- Usage
To use the Pivot Reversal Strategy with SuperTrend Filter, simply input the desired parameters into the script and apply it to the price chart of the asset you wish to trade. The strategy will then identify potential trade entry and exit points, which will be displayed on the price chart.
- Default Settings
The default settings for the strategy are as follows:
ATR Length: 5
Factor: 2.618
Trade Direction: Both
Stop Loss Level: 20%
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1
Currency: USD
Each trade: 10% of account equity
Initial capital: $10,000
These settings can be adjusted to suit the trader's preferences and risk tolerance. Always remember to test any changes to the settings using historical data before applying them to live trades.
Volatility Capture RSI-Bollinger - Strategy [presentTrading]- Introduction and how it is different
The 'Volatility Capture RSI-Bollinger - Strategy ' is a trading strategy that combines the concepts of Bollinger Bands (BB), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Simple Moving Average (SMA) to generate trading signals. The uniqueness of this strategy is it calculates which is a dynamic level between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands based on the closing price. This unique feature allows the strategy to adapt to market volatility and price movements.
The market in Crypto and Stock are highly volatile, making them suitable for a strategy that uses Bollinger Bands. The RSI can help identify overbought or oversold conditions in this often speculative market.
BTCUSD 4hr chart
(700.hk) 3hr chart
Remember, the effectiveness of a trading strategy also depends on other factors such as the timeframe used, the specific settings of the indicators, and the overall market conditions. It's always recommended to backtest and paper trade a strategy before using it in live trading.
- Strategy, How it Works
Dynamic Bollinger Band: The strategy works by first calculating the upper and lower Bollinger Bands based on the user-defined length and multiplier. It then uses the Bollinger Bands and the closing price to dynamically adjust the presentBollingBand value. In the end, it generates a long signal when the price crosses over the present Bolling Band and a short signal when the price crosses under the present Bolling Band.
RSI: If the user has chosen to use RSI for signals, the strategy also calculates the RSI and its SMA, and uses these to generate additional long and short signals. The RSI-based signals are only used if the 'Use RSI for signals' option is set to true.
The strategy then checks the chosen trading direction and enters a long or short position accordingly. If the trading direction is set to 'Both', the strategy can enter both long and short positions.
Finally, the strategy exits a position when the close price crosses under the present Bolling Band for a long position, or crosses over the present Bolling Band for a short position.
- Trade direction
The strategy also includes a trade direction parameter, allowing the user to choose whether to enter long trades, short trades, or both. This makes the strategy adaptable to different market conditions and trading styles.
- Usage
1. Set the input parameters as per your trading preferences. You can choose the price source, the length of the moving average, the multiplier for the ATR, whether to use RSI for signals, the RSI and SMA periods, the bought and sold range levels, and the trading direction.
2. The strategy will then generate buy and sell signals based on these parameters. You can use these signals to enter and exit trades.
- Default settings
1. Source: hlc3
2. Length: 50
3. Multiplier: 2.7183
4. Use RSI for signals: True
5. RSI Period: 10
6. SMA Period: 5
7. Bought Range Level: 55
8. Sold Range Level: 50
9. Trade Direction: Both
- Strategy's default Properties
1. Default Quantity Type: 'strategy.percent_of_equity'
2. commission_value= 0.1, commission_type=strategy.commission.percent, slippage= 1: These parameters set the commission and slippage for the strategy. The commission is set to 0.1% of the trade value, and the slippage (the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed) is set to 1.
3. default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity, default_qty_value = 15: These parameters set the default quantity for trades. The default_qty_type is set to strategy.percent_of_equity, which means that the size of each trade will be a percentage of the account equity. The default_qty_value is set to 15, which means that each trade will be 15% of the account equity.
4. initial_capital= 10000: This parameter sets the initial capital for the strategy to $10,000.
PresentTrend - Strategy [presentTrading]- Introduction and how it is different
The PresentTrend strategy is a unique custom trend-following strategy. This combination allows the strategy to take advantage of both short-term and long-term market trends, making it suitable for various market conditions.
BTCUSDT 4hr chart
(700.hk) 3D chart
- Strategy, How it Works
RSI or MFI: The first part uses a custom indicator based on either the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or the Money Flow Index (MFI). The indicator calculates a PresentTrend value, which generates buy and sell signals based on its crossover and crossunder, indicating potential trend reversals.
ATR: The second part is a popular trend-following indicator that uses the Average True Range (ATR).
The strategy enters a long position when all buy signals from both strategies are true, and a short position when all sell signals are true. This ensures trades are entered when both short-term and long-term trends align, potentially increasing the strategy's reliability.
- Trade direction
The strategy also includes a trade direction parameter, allowing the user to choose whether to enter long trades, short trades, or both. This makes the strategy adaptable to different market conditions and trading styles.
- Usage
1. Set the input parameters for the custom trend-following strategy.
2. Choose whether to use the RSI or MFI for the custom strategy.
3. Choose the trade direction: long, short, or both.
4. The strategy will generate buy and sell signals based on the conditions of both strategies.
5. Enter a trade when a buy or sell signal is generated, depending on the chosen trade direction.
Please note that this strategy is meant to be a tool to aid in your trading decisions and not a standalone trading system. Always use proper risk management and make sure to test the strategy thoroughly before using it in live trading.
- Default settings
1. Source: 'hlc3', a balanced price level for calculations.
2. Length: 14, a common setting for many technical indicators.
3. Multiplier: 1.618 (the golden ratio), used in calculating the upper and lower thresholds.
4. RSI or MFI: Set to use MFI by default, both are momentum indicators.
5. Trade Direction: 'Both', allowing for both long and short trades.
The default settings are designed to provide a balanced approach to trend detection. However, these can be adjusted based on the user's preferences and the specific characteristics of the market being traded.
- Strategy's default Properties

🔸if you select the Risk to Reward System ⤵️
The Risk-to-Reward System requires the calculation of a stop loss. That's why I have included three different types of stop-loss calculations for you to choose from:
ATR Based SL
Pivot Low SL
VWAP Based SL
Your stop loss and take profit levels will be automatically calculated based on the selected stop loss method and your risk-to-reward ratio.
You can also adjust their values to match your desired risk level. The trades will be displayed on the chart.
with the ability to change their values to match your risk.
once this is done, trades will be displayed on the chart
🔸if you select the Fixed system ⤵️
You have 2 inputs, which are FIXED TP & Fixed SL
input the values you want, and trades will be on your chart...
I have also added a Breakeven feature for you.
with this Breakeven feature the trade will not just move SL to Entry ?! NO NO, it will place it above entry by a % you input yourself, so you always win! 🚀
Here is an example
Enjoy, and have fun, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask
Binary Option Strategy Tester with Martingale-Basic V.2In Binary options, strategy testing is a bit different. The strategy result depends upon expiry intervals and payout ratio.
My previous script was a try to resolve this but has some bugs in specific choices. The new version overcame those and added some new features useful for binary option strategy testing.
Assumption:
We are opening position at next candle after signal come
Chart interval is option expiry time.
We are taking the position at opening price
Our call will be profitable if we get a green candle and put will be profitable if we get a red candle
We can open only one trade at a time. So if we are in trade, subsequent signals will be ignored.
All Input Options:
Test Call/Put individually or both. Default BOTH
Select up to 5 Martingale levels. Default 2
Type of Martingale Trade. Default “SAME”
“SAME”: If you are trading CALL and incur a loss, you are taking CALL in subsequent Martingale levels.
“OPSITE”: if you are trading CALL and incur a loss, you are taking PUT in subsequent Martingale levels.
“FOLLOW CANDLE COLOR”: You are following candle color in Martingale levels, i.e if the loss candle is RED, you are taking PUT in subsequent candles.
“OPPOSITE CANDLE COLOR”: You are taking opposite candle color trade, i.e if the loss candle is RED, you are taking CALL in subsequent candle.
Select Specific Trading Session. Please select “USE SPECIFIC SESSION”. Default: TRUE
Put the investment amount per option. Default: 10
Payout ratio. Default: 80%
The strategy is taken from Vdub Binary Options SniperVX v1 (by @vdubus). I have deleted extra parts and kept only the necessary parts.

Powertrend - Volume Range Filter Strategy [wbburgin]The Powertrend is a range filter that is based off of volume, instead of price. This helps the range filter capture trends more accurately than a price-based range filter, because the range filter will update itself from changes in volume instead of changes in price. In certain scenarios this means that the Powertrend will be more profitable than a normal range filter.
Essentials of the Strategy
This is a breakout strategy which works best on trending assets with high volume and liquidity. It should be used on middle to higher timeframes and can be used on all assets that have volume provided by the data source (stocks, crypto, forex). It is long-only as of now. It can work on lower timeframes if you optimize the strategy filters to make less trades or if your exchange/broker is low/no fees, provided that your exchange/broker has high liquidity and volume.
The strategy enters a long position if the range filter is trending upwards and the price crosses over the upper range band, which signifies a price-volume breakout. The strategy closes the long position if the range filter is trending downwards and the price crosses under the lower range band, which signifies a breakdown. Both these conditions can be altered by the three filter options in the settings. The default trend filter is not alterable because it helps prevent false entries and exits that are against the trend.
Settings
The Length setting is the lookback period for the range smoothing.
The ADX Filter setting enables you to turn on an ADX filter, which will halt entries and exits unless the ADX of your customizable length is above a ADX VWMA of that length.
The Range Supertrend setting creates a supertrend from the top and bottom ranges, which can be used to filter entries and exits. The length is customizable. The filter can show you whether the range is making higher highs and lower lows. Below is an example of the Range Supertrend being used as a filter and plotted on-chart:
The VWMA setting halts entries if they are below a customizable length VWMA.
Both the Range Supertrend and the VWMA can also be plotted separately without actually filtering the strategy, so that you can use them independently if you wish. You can turn off the bar color, the highlighting, and the labels if you wish in the settings. A note about the bar color: if the color changes but the strategy does not signal an exit or entry this means that the crossover was against the trend. In these circumstances it may be indicative of a pullback to enter or exit or to add onto your position.
About the Strategy Results Below
A range filter is normally composed of two components - the range filter itself and a smoothing function. In the development of this script I tested both normal and volume-based varieties of the range filter and the smoothing function:
Tests Performed
Volume-based Range x VWMA smoothing
Price-based Range x VWMA smoothing
Price-based Range x EMA smoothing
Volume-based Range x EMA smoothing (final result)
The highest-performing was a volume-based range filter and a normal EMA-based smoothing function, but that does not mean that this strategy will be profitable - exits are based off of signal reversion so I strongly encourage you to develop your own take profits/stop losses for the strategy if you think it may be a good fit for you. The results below are with a commission value of 0.05% (because I built the strategy first for equities), slippage of 3, so if your exchange/broker has a higher fee schedule, I recommend adding filters and/or moving to higher timeframes for the strategy. Additionally, I used 10% of equity in each trade, while using the Range Supertrend filter (the previous upload was unrealistic because it used 100% of equity - missed a 0, apologies, and added in slippage).
Ta StrategyHello guys
This script follows traditional technical indicators
MACD, ADX, RSI and pivot points
If the price is above the resistance and the MACD has crossover ,and the RSI 14 is above 50
ADX is higher than 20, and DI+ is higher than DI-. This is a buy signal and vice versa for a sell signal
The script moves the stop loss to the entry price after the first target is reached
You can specify the quantity you want to sell when the price reaches the first target
There are also options like if you want the script to entry long or short, or both
you can reverse the strategy if it does not work well
If you want to inquire about any details, please let me know in the comments
The Z-score The Z-score, also known as the standard score, is a statistical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values. It's measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. If a Z-score is 0, it indicates that the data point's score is identical to the mean score. Z-scores may be positive or negative, with a positive value indicating the score is above the mean and a negative score indicating it is below the mean.
The concept of Z-score was introduced by statistician Carl Friedrich Gauss as part of his "method of the least squares," which was an important step in the development of the normal distribution and Z-score tables. It's a key concept in statistics and is used in various statistical tests.
In financial analysis, Z-scores are used to determine whether a data point is usual or unusual. You can think of it as a measure of how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. For instance, a Z-score of 1.0 would denote a value that is one standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are also used to predict probabilities, with Z-scores having a distribution that is expected to be normal.
In trading, a Z-score is used to determine how often a trading system may produce a string of winners or losers. It can help a trader to understand whether the losses or profits they see are something that the system would most likely produce, or if it's a once in a blue moon situation. This helps traders make decisions about when to start or stop a system.
I just wanted to play a bit with the Z-score I guess.
Feel free to share your findings if you discover additional applications for this strategy or identify timeframes where it appears to perform more optimally.
How it works:
This strategy is based on a statistical concept called Z-score, which measures the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean. In other words, it helps determine how unusual or usual a data point is.
In the context of this strategy, Z-score is applied to a 10-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) of Heikin-Ashi candlestick close prices. The Z-score is calculated over a look-back period of 25 bars.
The EMA of the Z-score is then calculated over a 20-bar period, and the upper and lower thresholds (bounds for buy and sell signals) are defined using the 90th and 10th percentiles of this EMA score.
Long positions are taken when the Z-score crosses above the lower threshold or crosses above the mid-line (50th percentile). An additional long entry is made when the Z-score crosses above the highest value the EMA has been in the past 100 periods.
Short positions are initiated when the EMA crosses below the upper threshold, lower threshold or the highest value the EMA has been in the past 100 periods.
Positions are closed when opposing entry conditions are met, for example, a long position is closed when the short entry condition is true, and vice versa.
Set your desired start date for the strategy. This can be modified in the timestamp("YYYY MM DD") function at the top of the script.
RSI-CCI Fusion StrategyRSI-CCI Fusion Strategy: Harnessing the Power of RSI and CCI
The "RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy" is a powerful trading approach that combines the strengths of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) to provide enhanced trading insights. This strategy is based on the popular "RSI & CCI Fusion + Alerts" indicator, which utilizes the RSI and CCI indicators from TradingView .
1. Overview of RSI and CCI:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a widely used momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. On the other hand, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a versatile indicator that identifies cyclical trends and provides insights into overbought and oversold levels.
2. The RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy:
The RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy harnesses the combined power of the RSI and CCI indicators to generate robust trading signals. By blending the RSI and CCI, this strategy captures both momentum and cyclical trend dynamics, offering a more comprehensive view of the market.
3. Utilizing the RSI-CCI Fusion Indicator + Alerts:
The "RSI & CCI Fusion + Alerts" indicator serves as the backbone of the RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy. It integrates the RSI and CCI indicators from TradingView, providing traders with a clear and actionable trading signal.
4. How it Works:
- The indicator calculates the RSI and CCI values, standardizes them using z-score, and combines them with a weighted fusion approach.
- The resulting RSI-CCI Fusion indicator is plotted on the chart, accompanied by dynamic upper and lower bands, which help identify potential overbought and oversold conditions.
- Traders can customize alerts based on their preferred thresholds and timeframes, enabling them to receive timely notifications for potential buy and sell signals.
5. Implementing the RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy:
Traders following the RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy can utilize the buy and sell signals generated by the RSI-CCI Fusion indicator. When the indicator crosses below the upper band, it may signal a potential selling opportunity. Conversely, when it crosses above the lower band, it may indicate a potential buying opportunity. Traders can also consider additional factors and technical analysis tools to validate the signals before making trading decisions.
Conclusion: The RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy provides traders with a robust approach to analyze the market and make well-informed trading decisions. By incorporating the RSI and CCI indicators through the "RSI & CCI Fusion + Alerts" indicator, traders can take advantage of the combined strengths of these indicators. However, it is important to remember that no strategy guarantees success, and traders should always practice risk management and conduct thorough analysis before executing trades using this strategy.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risks, and it is important to conduct your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Note: The RSI-CCI Fusion Strategy serves as a general guide, and individual traders may have different preferences and trading styles.
Williams %R Strategy
The Williams %R Strategy is a trading approach that is based on the Williams Percent Range indicator, available on the TradingView platform.
This strategy aims to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market, providing clear buy and sell signals for entry and exit.
The strategy utilizes the Williams %R indicator, which measures the momentum of the market by comparing the current close price with the highest high and lowest low over a specified period. When the Williams %R crosses above the oversold level, a buy signal is generated, indicating a potential upward price movement. Conversely, when the indicator crosses below the overbought level, a sell signal is generated, suggesting a possible downward price movement.
Position management is straightforward with this strategy. Upon receiving a buy signal, a long position is initiated, and the position is closed when a sell signal is generated. This strategy allows traders to capture potential price reversals and take advantage of short-term market movements.
To manage risk, it is recommended to adjust the position size based on the available capital. In this strategy, the position size is set to 10% of the initial capital, ensuring proper risk allocation and capital preservation.
It is important to note that the Williams %R Strategy should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management techniques. Backtesting and paper trading can help evaluate the strategy's performance and fine-tune the parameters before deploying it with real funds.
Remember, trading involves risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. It is always advised to do thorough research, seek professional advice, and carefully consider your financial goals and risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.
HK Percentile Interpolation One
This script is designed to execute a trading strategy based on Heikin Ashi candlesticks, moving averages, and percentile levels.
Please note that you should keep your original chart in normal candlestick mode and not switch it to Heikin Ashi mode. The script itself calculates Heikin Ashi values from regular candlesticks. If your chart is already in Heikin Ashi mode, the script would be calculating Heikin Ashi values based on Heikin Ashi values, which would produce incorrect results.
The strategy begins trading from a start date that you can specify by modifying the `startDate` parameter. The format of the date is "YYYY MM DD". So, for example, to start the strategy from January 1, 2022, you would set `startDate = timestamp("2022 01 01")`.
The script uses Heikin Ashi candlesticks, which are plotted in the chart. This approach can be useful for spotting trends and reversals more easily than with regular candlestick charts. This is particularly useful when backtesting in TradingView's "Rewind" mode, as you can see how the Heikin Ashi candles behaved at each step of the strategy.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on two factors:
1. The crossing over or under of the Heikin Ashi close price and the 75th percentile price level.
2. The Heikin Ashi close price being above certain moving averages.
You have the flexibility to adjust several parameters in the script, including:
1. The stop loss and trailing stop percentages (`stopLossPercentage` and `trailStopPercentage`). These parameters allow the strategy to exit trades if the price moves against you by a certain percentage.
2. The lookback period (`lookback`) used to calculate percentile levels. This determines the range of past bars used in the percentile calculation.
3. The lengths of the two moving averages (`yellowLine_length` and `purplLine_length`). These determine how sensitive the moving averages are to recent price changes.
4. The minimum holding period (`holdPeriod`). This sets the minimum number of bars that a trade must be kept open before it can be closed.
Please adjust these parameters according to your trading preferences and risk tolerance. Happy trading!
Monthly Strategy Performance TableWhat Is This?
This script code adds a Monthly Strategy Performance Table to your Pine Script strategy scripts so you can see a month-by-month and year-by-year breakdown of your P&L as a percentage of your account balance.
The table is based on realized equity rather than open equity, so it only updates the metrics when a trade is closed.
That's why some numbers will not match the Strategy Tester metrics (such as max drawdown), as the Strategy Tester bases metrics like max drawdown on open trade equity and not realized equity (closed trades).
The script is still a work-in-progress, so make sure to read the disclaimer below. But I think it's ready to release the code for others to play around with.
How To Use It
The script code includes one of my strategies as an example strategy. You need to replace my strategy code with your own. To do that just copy the source code below into a blank script, delete lines 11 -> 60 and paste your strategy code in there instead of mine. The script should work with most systems, but make sure to read the disclaimer below.
It works best with a significant amount of historical data, so it may not work very effectively on intraday timeframes as there is a severe limitation of available bars on TradingView. I recommend using it on 4HR timeframes and above, as anything less will produce very little usable data. Having a premium TradingView plan will also help boost the number of available bars.
You can hover your mouse over a table cell to get more information in the form of tooltips (such as the Long and Short win rate if you hover over your total return cell).
Credit
The code in this script is based on open-source code originally written by QuantNomad, I've made significant changes and additions to the original script but all credit for the idea and especially the display table code goes to them - I just built on top of it:
Why Did I Make This?
None of this is trading or investment advice, just my personal opinion based on my experience as a trader and systems developer these past 6+ years:
The TradingView Strategy Tester is severely limited in some important ways. And unless you use complex Excel formulas on exported test data, you can't see a granular perspective of your system's historical performance.
There is much more to creating profitable and tradeable systems than developing a strategy with a good win rate and a good return with a reasonable drawdown.
Some additional questions we need to ask ourselves are:
What did the system's worst drawdown look like?
How long did it last?
How often do drawdowns occur, and how quickly are they typically recovered?
How often do we have a break-even or losing month or year?
What is our expected compounded annual growth rate, and how does that growth rate compare to our max drawdown?
And many more questions that are too long to list and take a lifetime of trading experience to answer.
Without answering these kinds of questions, we run the risk of developing systems that look good on paper, but when it comes to live trading, we are uncomfortable or incapable of enduring the system's granular characteristics.
This Monthly Performance Table script code is intended to help bridge some of that gap with the Strategy Tester's limited default performance data.
Disclaimer
I've done my best to ensure the numbers this code outputs are accurate, and according to my testing with my personal strategy scripts it appears to work fine. But there is always a good chance I've missed something, or that this code will not work with your particular system.
The majority of my TradingView systems are extremely simple single-target systems that operate on a closed-candle basis to minimize many of the data reliability issues with the Strategy Tester, so I was unable to do much testing with multiple targets and pyramiding etc.
I've included a Debug option in the script that will display important data and information on a label each time a trade is closed. I recommend using the Debug option to confirm that the numbers you see in the table are accurate and match what your strategy is actually doing.
Always do your own due diligence, verify all claims as best you can, and never take anyone's word for anything.
Take care, and best of luck with your trading :)
Kind regards,
Matt.

VWAP Trendfollow Strategy [wbburgin]This is an experimental strategy that enters long when the instrument crosses over the upper standard deviation band of a VWAP and enters short when the instrument crosses below the bottom standard deviation band of the VWAP. I have added a trend filter as well, which stops entries that are opposite to the current trend of the VWAP. The trend filter will reduce total false breakouts, thus improving the % profitable while maintaining the overall returns of the strategy. Because this is a trend-following breakout strategy, the % profitable will typically be low but the average % return will be higher. As a rule, be sure to look at the average winning trade % compared to the average losing trade %, and compare that to the % profitable to judge the effectiveness of a strategy. Factor in fees and slippage as well.
This strategy appears to work better with the lower timeframes, and I was impressed with its results. It also appears to work on a wide range of asset classes. There isn't a stop loss or take profit built-in (other than the reversal signals, which close the current trade), so I would encourage you to expand on the strategy based on your own trading parameters.
You can toggle off the bar colors and the trend filter if you so desire.
Future updates to this script (or ideas of improving on it) might include a take profit level set at one standard deviation past the current level and a stop loss level set at one standard deviation closer to the vwap from the current level - or applying a multiple to the two based off of your reward/risk ratio.
About the strategy results below: this is with commissions of 0.5 % per trade.
Source CorrelationIn this small indicator I make it possible for the user to set two different input sources. Then, the indicator displays the correlation of these two input sources. It's a very small script, but I think it could be helpful to somebody to find uncorrelated indicators for his trading strategy. To use uncorrelated indicators is in general recommended.
Enjoy this small, but powerful tool. 🧙♂️
