Trending/RangingThis script is a useful tool to use to identify the current market. It includes three other indicators:
1. ATR (combined with a SMA of the ATR)
2. ADX
3. RSI
It allows you to filter for when the market is trending vs. when the market is ranging by using any of the three indicators. You can also combine them to find extremely good trends to trade, or if you're a channel trader, identify when you wouldn't want to trade. This indicator also includes a time frame setting to allow you to ZOOM OUT and explore the long term trend of the security you are trading. I highly recommend using this indicator as a filter for when you enter a trade or not depending on the system you like to trade.
ADX
Full strategy Psar+ adx + cmf + rsi This ia full strategy made with a combination of a trender, volume, volatility and oscillator.
In this case we only go long.
Indicators used:
Default PSAR
Default CMF
Modified RSI logic, not using OB/OS
ADX with EMA applied
The rules are : we check if we are in a uptrend on psar, together with a positive value in volume, rsi is above the middle line(50), using a big length, and lastly the ADx is superior to the ema ADx
For exit, we check the opposite, like downtrend psar, negative value volume, rsi < 50, and adx < ema adx
If you have any questions let me know.
All in one [Liubam]Hey tradingviewers!
This is an All in one Indicator for those who can't add too many indicators on your charts. Inspired by ©LonesomeTheBlue "Indicators all in one" script. I found a lot of very interesting scripts on the public library and I decided to make a tool with some of the greatest IMO, adding some modifications to improve the indicators. With this tool you can plot 1 of 6 different indicators by selecting it from a drop-down list (on the indicator settings).
All the credit goes to it's respective owners (taggeds).
THIS INDICATOR INCLUDES:
1. Classic RSI with some OB/OS tools:
The relative strength index (RSI) is a popular momentum indicator displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that moves between two extremes) that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions, in other words it shows signals about bullish and bearish price momentum. I added some visual improvements to help you finding the OB/OS zones.
2. Classic CCI with some OB/OS tools.
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used as market indicator to help determine market movements that may indicate buying or selling. Added some vistual improvements to the chart.
3. ADX and DMI oscillator with the keylevel coded by @console:
The Average Directional Index (ADX) is non-directional indicator used by some traders to determine the strength of a trend. When the ADX line is rising (Above the keylevel) trend strength is increasing, and the price moves in the direction of the trend whether up or down. Otherwise, low ADX (Below the keylevel) is usually a sign of accumulation or distribution (Range). Non-trending doesn't mean the price isn't moving. It may not be, but the price could also be making a trend change or is too volatile for a clear direction to be present.
Suggested settings of the keylevel is 23-25.... REMEMBER: The trend may be your friend.
4. MFI
The Money Flow Index (MFI) is a technical oscillator for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. Unlike conventional oscillators such as the RSI, the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price.
5. Stochastic:
A stochastic oscillator is range-bound, meaning it is always between 0 and 100. This makes it a useful indicator of overbought and oversold conditions. Traditionally, readings over 80 are considered in the overbought range, and readings under 20 are considered oversold. However, these are not always indicative of impending reversal; very strong trends can maintain overbought or oversold conditions for an extended period. Instead, traders should look to changes in the stochastic oscillator for clues about future trend shifts. I added some features for this popular indicator to show the stochastic crosses.
6. The famous Squeeze momentum Indicator made by @Lazybear:
This is derivate of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" volatility indicator and its very strong when using with trending indicator such a ADX. Black line (or no-line) on the midline show that the market just entered a squeeze ( Bollinger Bands are with in Keltner Channel). This signifies low volatility , market preparing itself for an explosive move (up or down). Gray line signify "Squeeze release". Mr.Carter suggests waiting till the gray line after a blackline, and taking a position in the direction of the momentum (for ex., if momentum value is above zero, go long). Exit the position when the momentum changes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This script is source code protected, but you can add to your favorite list to use it. Also you can add twice to use 2 different indicators at the same time (E.g. Squeeze Momentum Indicator + ADX)
An additional indicator I made (MA Hunterz + InfoPanel) is needed to not miss good entry points.
Your valuable comment and feedback is much appreciated...
And remember indicators can be really helpfull but always use Price Action.
Average Directional Index + ΔDI± (Delta)Average Directional Index (ADX) and Difference between DI+ and DI- (ΔDI±), I call it Delta for short.
The idea explained:
ADX is a common indicator for analysing trend strength. Values over 25 usually indicate the symbol is in "trend mode", meaning there is a lot of momentum, upwards or downwards, - while values under 25 suggest it is in "range mode", the price moves sideways, lacking energy. Note that this indicator is not volume-based.
I moved the graph (red) down 25 points; this version shows positive values in "trend mode" (>25), and negative values in "range mode" (<25). The line sits at 0. The underlying code for the ADX is basically identical to the official TradingView built-in version.
Now the exciting part: DI+ and DI- are used to calculate the ADX. They are sometimes included in the ADX indicator chart, I included a version that shows them in the graphic, at the bottom. Traditionally, DI+ (green) crossing DI- (dark red) from below shows the beginning of an upward trend, and therefore a good LONG entry position. However, I noticed that this is usually not the case: this method responds very slowly to the actual price movement. At the point the indicator tells you to enter, the trend is usually already exhausted.
I found a better way to use this data; instead of waiting for both graphs to cross, meaning the difference in their respective values is 0, we look for the greatest possible difference. That is what the purple graph of my indicator shows (ΔDI±). It utilizes the zero-line we already created for the ADX. High positive values declare that the DI+ is much greater than the DI-, and vice versa. Delta is the greek letter used in mathematics for difference, so that is what I call this indicator.
How to use it:
When you look at the graph, low Delta values seem to be good entry points for LONG positions, high Delta values good exits. This is similar to how RSI and CCI work, which is why included them in the chart above (). However, this is only reliable, when the ADX is above 25, or 0 in this version, indicating the symbol is in "trend mode". This is important .
When you look at the examples in the chart, you can confirm that. The marked candles show good entry and exit points, with Delta being notably low/high (±25 seems to be a good threshold, the dashed lines sit at +30/-30), and the ADX above 0 (25). Now, you might have noticed that around mid-december the Delta actually registers the highest value for this symbol in the given time frame, indicating a strong SHORT after a steep climb. But, importantly , the ADX is not in "trend mode" as required for a clear signal, it is in "range mode": the price discovers this new level and takes a few days to get used to it. It does not fall. This shows why only the combination of both Delta and ADX gives desirable results.
I noticed that this seems to work best for 1D and 1H candles; if you find any other time frames or scenarios, let me know!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS BASED ON PERSONAL, EMPIRICAL OBSERVATIONS. PAST RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS INVESTMENT ADVICE!
Thanks to TradingView and robertkowalski for providing the basis on which the code is built. Credit goes to the appropriate developers/owners.

RedK Trader Pressure Index (TPX v1.0) Quick Summary
---------------------
The RedK Trader Pressure Index (REDK_TPX) analyzes the changes in price bars to give the trader a clear visual insight that represents the ongoing fight between the bulls (buyers) and bears (sellers) in the market - to determine who is in control of the price action, which in turn can be helpful in a trader’s decision about how the price action may be unfolding, what type of trade and positions to take (or to close) and when is the ideal time to action.
How the TPX calculation works
---------------------------------------
The TPX uses a simple logic and that’s one of the things I like about it – there is no complex calculation or magic stuff - and the core idea makes sense to me, as well as being one of the ways I needed to analyze my price charts.
The underlying assumption is that the buyers and sellers are competing for control of the market at all time.
- if there’s more buyers than sellers in the market, and if the buyers’ (or bull) pressure is stronger (than the sellers’), they will be able pull the “price range” up – and that means that on the price chart we can expect to see an increase in value in both the “high” and the “low” of the next price bar.
- Similarly, if there’s more sellers than buyers in the market, and if the sellers’ (or bear) pressure is stronger (than the buyers’), they will be able push the “price range” down – on the price chart we can expect to see a decrease in value in both the “high” and the “low” of the next price bar.
So, we will use the change in high and low price, between 2 consecutive price bars, as a proxy for the bull and bear “pressures” – a (weighted) moving average of these “pressure” values are then calculated along with the “Net Pressure” – the final results are plotted.
The importance of the "Control Level"
-----------------------------------------------
As in similar price-action based indicators, there’s a certain threshold or “control level”, above which, the pressure becomes “dominant”
when the bull or bear pressure is above that threshold, they will dominate and control the price move – this level can be found around the 25 or 30. I have included the ability to plot and adjust that control level in the TPX’s settings – and I also show some examples in the chart above (weekly chart for MSFT)
The code is commented and the chart is annotated to explain how to “read” the TPX – and how to interpret the values on the price chart
Using the Trader Pressure Index (TPX) in trading
------------------------------------------------------------
TPX can be valuable in showing well-supported (up or down) price moves that may lead to a strong trend that we can ride (when the pressure value is above the control level) - see exampled above
TPX is also valuable in showing when there’s “lack of interest” from the buyers or the sellers (or both) – which is great in exploring chub or no-trade zones - so basically when to avoid trading.
As usual, it's always recommended to use these types of "price action insight" indicators in conjunction with other trend and momentum indicators (moving averages, MACD..etc), so the insight we gain from them can be properly placed within the broader "context" - and to receive additional confimtion signals to support the trading decision.
I will come back later to post something about how the TPX differs from my recently-posted Strength of Movement (SoM) because they wok completely differently but can be used together with great synergy – and also how the TPX compares to the classic DMI/ADX which uses a similar concept.
Please feel free to integrate in your trading – hope you find this useful - comments and feedback are always welcome

ADX Strategy (original)ADX Strategy
Description:
Generates a long entry signal when the Average Directional Index (ADX) value is greater than the trendlevel and the close is greater than the filter value, and/or generates a short entry signal when the ADX value is greater than the trendlevel and the close is less than the filter value.
The Average Directional Index evaluates the strength of a current trend. The ADX is an oscillator that fluctuates between 0 and 100. Values below 20 indicate a weak trend, values above 40 indicate a strong trend. The direction of the trend is not measured by this indicator.
As usual, the script features signal filtering/generation and a rough estimate of its performance.
Reverse DMIThe Reverse DMI is in essence the same DMI or (Directional Movement Index) you all know and love with the addition of two reverse level features, and can be used to assist the end-user in their decision making for entry, exit and risk management.
In a nutshell the first feature is a reverse engineered calculation of the +DMI, and -DMI levels, compared to each other, in relation to the current price level as the point of divergence. The second feature is a reverse engineered calculation of the ADX, +DMI, and -DMI levels, compared to the user defined Threshold level, in relation to the current price level as the point of divergence.
At a glance this can then be used to determine the closing price level needed in order to cross the +DMI and -DMI, as well as the closing price level needed in order to cross the ADX, +DMI, and -DMI either under or over the user defined Threshold.
Optional Settings Include:
-------------------------------
1.) Change the Threshold Levels Right Margin
2.) Show/Hide ADX Exhaustion (will highlight the plot, if condition is met or exceeded)
3.) Show/Hide DMI Crosses (will highlight the background once, if condition is met)
4.) Show/Hide Reverse Levels
5.) Change the Reverse Levels Text Size
6.) Change the Reverse Levels Text Color
7.) Change the Reverse Levels Text Left Margin
8.) Change the Reverse Levels Decimal value
9.) Show/Hide the Reverse Levels Currency
Renovation-10 (Including 10 Traditional Indicators)This idea is not rare. It is just a combination of 10 most well know and traditional Indicators to form one renovated indicator. There are Moving Average (MA), Volume (V), Bollinger Band (BB), Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), Stochastic RSI, Modified Stochastic RSI, Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ), Average directional index ( ADX ), Average True Range (ATR) and Parabolic Stop and Reverse (PSAR). These indicators most I found was just showing entering position strategic alone. I just want to know how well them work together when combination. I modified many times and thinking for the strategic enter and exist position with the choice of these 10 indicators to maximize the profitability which shows in strategic tester in every stock and conditions.
THEORY:
Fluctuation of price is like a Wave which I categorized it into four period. They are Sideway, Breakout Positive and Negative, Retracement and Consolidation. Breakout is rare to happen, either go up or go down. After a breakout usually will have small retracement, then trend will go for sideway. After long period of sideway, the wave is starting to run out of energy and there will be consolidation period.
STRATEGIC OPTION:
S: Sideway Period
B: Breakout Period
R: Retracement Period
(+): Buy
(-): Sell
PROBLEM:
1. Not performing very well at very penny stock which the graph looks like barcode.
Suggesting can change daily graph to weekly graph to avoid.
2. Be careful with Sideway entry signal because sometimes price may continue go down. You will stuck at middle if you enter without confirmation.
Confirm the price is stable at support by current low is higher or equal to past three to five day low before entry.
3.Always remember Breakout is rare, do not push for luck
Always make profit at Sideway and Retracement trend. Can Sell half only at BB when breakout buying signal is available, to avoid losing chance of chasing breakout.
4. Breakout selling signal 2 may delay
After breakout, make sure sell all when 2-3 red candle appeared or When BB is squeezing.
5. Other tools may required to confirm entry position.
These combination strategic is more to personal experiences and knowledges, it hard to adjust in coding for strategic position.

MrBS:Directional Movement Index [Trend Friend Strategy]This goes with my MrBS:DMI+ indicator. I originally combined them into one, but then you cannot set alerts based on what the ADX and DMI is doing, only strategy alerts, so separate ones have more flexibility and uses.
Indicator Version is found under "MrBS:Directional Movement Index " ()
//// THE IDEA
The majority of profits made in the market come from trending markets. Of course there are strategies that would say otherwise but for the majority of people, THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND (until the end). The idea is to follow the trend, entering once it has established its self and exiting positions when the trend weakens. This strategy gives a rough idea of the returns produced from following purely the ADX signals. At first Heikin Ashi values were used for the calculation but the results show it's not that effective. The functionality to switch between calculation types has been left in, so we can uses HA candle data to generate signals from while looking at an OHLC chart, if we want to experiment. Due to the way strategies work, we are unable to get reliable results when running the strategy on the HA chart even if we are calculating the signals from the real OHLC values. It is best to always run strategies on standard charts.
When using this strategy, I look for confirmation of the signal based on stochastic (14:3:6) direction, reversal level of stochastic, and divergance, to add confidence and adjust position size accordingly. I am going to try and code some version of that in future updates, if anyone can help or has suggestions please drop me a message.
//// INDICATOR DETAILS
- The default settings are for optimized Daily charts, for 4 hour I would suggest a smoothing of 2.
- The default values used for calculation are the Real OHLC, we can change this to Heikin Ashi in the menu.
- The strategy enters a position when ADX crosses the threshold level, and closes the position when ADX starts to fall.
- There is a signal filter in the form of a 377 period Hull Moving Average, which the price must be above or bellow for long and short positions respectively.
- The strategy closes the position when a cross-under of the ADX and its 4 period EMA. This is an attempt to stay into positions longer as sometimes the ADX will fall for 1 bar and then keep rising, while the overall trend is strong. The downside to this is that we exit trades later and this affects our max drawdown.
MrBS:Directional Movement Index [Trend Friend]I started this project with the goal of making a DMI/ADX that was easy to read at a glance. Its since become a little more then just colouring the slopes. The majority of the time, the best returns come from trending markets (THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND... until the end) and I hope this helps people become good friends with the trends.
----- Features
- A function to change the values used for calculation from real OHLC and Heikin Ashi. This allows us to look at different chart types but see the specific ADX we choose. Originally HA values were used for calculation since it is easier to see trend on HA charts. However when testing it was not as effective as the ADX calculated from the real values on normal charts. So the default function was flipped and real OHLC values are used as default.
- Two ADX plots so we can see two different smoothness's. With a smoothing of 2, a slight slow down in PA can cause a negative slope but the smoother ADX will stay trending unless its a major change. 2nd ADX is slightly transparent.
- There is an EMA of the main ADX that can be used as a exit signal filter. If the ADX starts going down but has not crossed the EMA we would stay in a trade.
- Plots (excluding EMA) are coloured based on positive or negative slopes.
- Fibonacci numbers have been used to create different trend levels, instead of the standard 25, 50, 100.
- Alerts for every useful situation to help save time and not have to manually enter levels or crosses each time.
- In the code there are 8 EMAs and 3 ADXs but it was too much so they have been slashed out, but are fully functional if you choose to activate and use them. To reactivate the 3rd ADX delete slashes on lines 50, 65, 78, 92-95, 165. The slashed out EMAs are much more obvious and easy to reactivate.
Colours:
ADX going up = Green
ADX going down = Red
DMI+ going up = Bright Aqua
DMI+ going down = Turquoise / Dark Aqua
DMI- going up = Bright Purple
DMI- going down = Dark Purple
EMA = White (50% transparent)
If there is anything that would be useful, let me know and I will add it in. I've already got some improvements/changes planned and some of my notes can be found in the code.
There is also a strategy to go with this indicator that will be uploaded very soon.
Trend Trader Buy/Sell SignalsTrend Trader
The code is open source, what it uses to print signals is MACD cross and ADX. Bar colors change in relation to where price is according to the 50 day MA. The MA ribbon is used for visualizing trend and using it for dynamic support/resistance. The ribbon is comprised of the 50 day and 100 day MAs.
Main reason to publish this script is because some like to jumble up scripts together slap some moving averages on it to "follow trend" and then label it an algorithm, market it and sell it to people online. No single system will work 100% of the time, do you due diligence in anything you are interested in buying. Plenty of free scripts in the TV library that can do you justice when trading.
Crypto Directional Movement Index DMI/ADXCrypto ADX + DMI
This indicator is a customised version of the ADX + DMI by J. Welles Wilder in 1978, with default settings optimal for cryptocurrencies.
What is the DMI (ADX) Indicator?
According to Investopedia:
DMI (ADX) consists of three indicators that measure a trend’s strength and direction. Three lines compose the Direction Movement Index (DMI): ADX (black line), DI+ (green line), and DI- (red line). The Average Directional Index (ADX) line shows the strength of the trend. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The color of the lines can be altered, but black, green, and red are the default in most software.
The Plus Direction Indicator (DI+) and Minus Direction Indicator (DI-) show the current price direction. When the DI+ is above DI-, the current price momentum is up. When the DI- is above DI+, the current price momentum is down.
This Version
The ADX default value has been changed to from 14 to 2 (optimal for cryptocurrencies). The background flashes red when the –DMI goes above the HZ1 threshold and green when the +DMI does the same. There is an option to change it so that it’ll only flash when the ADX and the DMI are both above the threshold. The ADX changes color when above HZ1.
Red and green plotshapes appear at DMI crossovers and three horizontal lines have also been added.
Any suggestions are most welcome

Excellent ADXThe Average Directional movement indeX (ADX) is an indicator that helps you determine the trend direction, pivot points, and much more else! But it looks not so easy as other famous indicators. It seems strange or even terrible, but don't be afraid. Let's understand how it works and get its power into your analysis tactics.
In the beginning, imagine a drunk man goes through a ladder: step by step. Up, up, down, up, down, down, up...
How can we understand which direction he goes? Exactly! We can count the number of steps in each direction. In the above example, in the upward – 4, in the downward – 3. So, it looks like he goes in an upward direction.
The ADX indicator counts the same steps, but for price. The size of each step equals 1 ATR for "DI Length" candles. On the indicator chart, we have the green and red lines. The green line represents a number of steps upward. The red line shows one downward. When the red line upper green, then the price goes below, then the trend is directed down. Later the green line comes above the red one, and then the trend changes the direction to upward. Wow? After that, you can easy detect the trend direction on the market!
But it is still not the end. On the chart, we also have the fat blue line. This is the ADX line, and it represents the power of the trend. It is calculated from a distance between the green and red curves. The ADX line value grows if the distance is increased. If the movement is really powerful, then a number of steps into a direction much more prominent than one in an opposed direction. Then the blue line grows faster. But if the growth has stopped and the blue line turns back or already had changed self-direction, then it is a signal that the trend has ended too. It's an excellent sign to close the position (but not always). Easy? Not quite. Thresholds help you there. The indicator has two additional parameters: upper and lower thresholds to evaluate the trend-over signal strength. An u-turn of the ADX line above the upper threshold sends a strong signal. If one occurs between both thresholds, it is a bit weak signal. But if the blue line goes below the lower threshold, it looks like there is no trend, and the price goes side. We can also say that the price goes side when the ADX value gradually falls down.
The Excellent ADX indicator helps you catch pivot/pullback signals based on green, red, and blue lines. Each such signal is highlighted as a green (buy) or red (sell) dot on the plot. The size of the dot represents the strength of the signal. You can also check the position of green and red lines from each other to determine the trend direction and the place where it has been changed. The Excellent ADX indicator helps you there too. It highlights the trend direction by the background-color, so you'll never miss it! The Excellent ADX good compliance with the Price Channel indicator built for the same length. You can use them together to be on a trend wave always!

This is an Expert Advisor 'EA' or Automated trading script for ‘longs’ and ‘shorts’, which uses only a Take Profit or, in the worst case, a Stop Loss to close the trade.
It's a much improved version of the previous ‘Repanocha’. It doesn`t use 'Trailing Stop' or 'security ()' functions (although using a security function doesn`t mean that the script repaints) and all signals are confirmed, therefore the script doesn`t repaint in alert mode and is accurate in backtest mode.
Apart from the previous indicators, some more and other functions have been added for Stop-Loss, re-entry and leverage.
It uses 8 indicators, (many of you already know what they are, but in case there is someone new), these are the following:
1. Jurik Moving Average
It's a moving average created by Mark Jurik for professionals which eliminates the 'lag' or delay of the signal. It's better than other moving averages like EMA , DEMA , AMA or T3.
There are two ways to decrease noise using JMA . Increasing the 'LENGTH' parameter will cause JMA to move more slowly and therefore reduce noise at the expense of adding 'lag'
The 'JMA LENGTH', 'PHASE' and 'POWER' parameters offer a way to select the optimal balance between 'lag' and over boost.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
2. Range filter
Created by Donovan Wall, its function is to filter or eliminate noise and to better determine the price trend in the short term.
First, a uniform average price range 'SAMPLING PERIOD' is calculated for the filter base and multiplied by a specific quantity 'RANGE MULTIPLIER'.
The filter is then calculated by adjusting price movements that do not exceed the specified range.
Finally, the target ranges are plotted to show the prices that will trigger the filter movement.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
3. Average Directional Index ( ADX Classic) and ( ADX Masanakamura)
It's an indicator designed by Welles Wilder to measure the strength and direction of the market trend. The price movement is strong when the ADX has a positive slope and is above a certain minimum level 'ADX THRESHOLD' and for a given period 'ADX LENGTH'.
The green color of the bars indicates that the trend is bullish and that the ADX is above the level established by the threshold.
The red color of the bars indicates that the trend is down and that the ADX is above the threshold level.
The orange color of the bars indicates that the price is not strong and will surely lateralize.
You can choose between the classic option and the one created by a certain 'Masanakamura'. The main difference between the two is that in the first it uses RMA () and in the second SMA () in its calculation.
4. Parabolic SAR
This indicator, also created by Welles Wilder, places points that help define a trend. The Parabolic SAR can follow the price above or below, the peculiarity that it offers is that when the price touches the indicator, it jumps to the other side of the price (if the Parabolic SAR was below the price it jumps up and vice versa) to a distance predetermined by the indicator. At this time the indicator continues to follow the price, reducing the distance with each candle until it is finally touched again by the price and the process starts again. This procedure explains the name of the indicator: the Parabolic SAR follows the price generating a characteristic parabolic shape, when the price touches it, stops and turns ( SAR is the acronym for 'stop and reverse'), giving rise to a new cycle. When the points are below the price, the trend is up, while the points above the price indicate a downward trend.
5. RSI with Volume
This indicator was created by LazyBear from the popular RSI .
The RSI is an oscillator-type indicator used in technical analysis and also created by Welles Wilder that shows the strength of the price by comparing individual movements up or down in successive closing prices.
LazyBear added a volume parameter that makes it more accurate to the market movement.
A good way to use RSI is by considering the 50 'RSI CENTER LINE' centerline. When the oscillator is above, the trend is bullish and when it is below, the trend is bearish .
6. Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) and ( MAC-Z )
It was created by Gerald Appel. Subsequently, the histogram was added to anticipate the crossing of MA. Broadly speaking, we can say that the MACD is an oscillator consisting of two moving averages that rotate around the zero line. The MACD line is the difference between a short moving average 'MACD FAST MA LENGTH' and a long moving average 'MACD SLOW MA LENGTH'. It's an indicator that allows us to have a reference on the trend of the asset on which it is operating, thus generating market entry and exit signals.
We can talk about a bull market when the MACD histogram is above the zero line, along with the signal line, while we are talking about a bear market when the MACD histogram is below the zero line.
There is the option of using the MAC-Z indicator created by LazyBear, which according to its author is more effective, by using the parameter VWAP ( volume weighted average price ) 'Z-VWAP LENGTH' together with a standard deviation 'STDEV LENGTH' in its calculation.
7. Volume Condition
Volume indicates the number of participants in this war between bulls and bears, the more volume the more likely the price will move in favor of the trend. A low trading volume indicates a lower number of participants and interest in the instrument in question. Low volumes may reveal weakness behind a price movement.
With this condition, those signals whose volume is less than the volume SMA for a period 'SMA VOLUME LENGTH' multiplied by a factor 'VOLUME FACTOR' are filtered. In addition, it determines the leverage used, the more volume , the more participants, the more probability that the price will move in our favor, that is, we can use more leverage. The leverage in this script is determined by how many times the volume is above the SMA line.
The maximum leverage is 8.
8. Bollinger Bands
This indicator was created by John Bollinger and consists of three bands that are drawn superimposed on the price evolution graph.
The central band is a moving average, normally a simple moving average calculated with 20 periods is used. ('BB LENGTH' Number of periods of the moving average)
The upper band is calculated by adding the value of the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average. ('BB MULTIPLIER' Number of times the standard deviation of the moving average)
The lower band is calculated by subtracting the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average.
the band between the upper and lower bands contains, statistically, almost 90% of the possible price variations, which means that any movement of the price outside the bands has special relevance.
In practical terms, Bollinger bands behave as if they were an elastic band so that, if the price touches them, it has a high probability of bouncing.
Sometimes, after the entry order is filled, the price is returned to the opposite side. If price touch the Bollinger band in the same previous conditions, another order is filled in the same direction of the position to improve the average entry price, (% MINIMUM BETTER PRICE ': Minimum price for the re-entry to be executed and that is better than the price of the previous position in a given %) in this way we give the trade a chance that the Take Profit is executed before. The downside is that the position is doubled in size. 'ACTIVATE DIVIDE TP': Divide the size of the TP in half. More probability of the trade closing but less profit.
█ STOP LOSS and RISK MANAGEMENT.
A good risk management is what can make your equity go up or be liquidated.
The % risk is the percentage of our capital that we are willing to lose by operation. This is recommended to be between 1-5%.
% Risk: (% Stop Loss x % Equity per trade x Leverage) / 100
First the strategy is calculated with Stop Loss, then the risk per operation is determined and from there, the amount per operation is calculated and not vice versa.
In this script you can use a normal Stop Loss or one according to the ATR. Also activate the option to trigger it earlier if the risk percentage is reached. '% RISK ALLOWED' wich is calculated according with: '%EQUITY ON EACH ENTRY'. Only works with Stop Loss on 'NORMAL' or 'BOTH' mode.
'STOP LOSS CONFIRMED': The Stop Loss is only activated if the closing of the previous bar is in the loss limit condition. It's useful to prevent the SL from triggering when they do a ‘pump’ to sweep Stops and then return the price to the previous state.
█ ALERTS
There is an alert for each leverage, therefore a maximum of 8 alerts can be set for 'long' and 8 for 'short', plus an alert to close the trade with Take Profit or Stop Loss in market mode. You can also place Take Profit limit and Stop Loss limit orders a few seconds after filling the position entry order.
- 'MAXIMUM LEVERAGE': It is the maximum allowed multiplier of the % quantity entered on each entry for 1X according to the volume condition.
- 'ADVANCE ALERTS': There is always a time delay from when the alert is triggered until it reaches the exchange and can be between 1-15 seconds. With this parameter, you can advance the alert by the necessary seconds to activate it earlier. In this way it can be synchronized with the exchange so that the execution time of the entry order to the position coincides with the opening of the bar.
The settings are for Bitcoin at Binance Futures (BTC: USDTPERP) in 15 minutes.
For other pairs and other timeframes, the settings have to be adjusted again. And within a month, the settings will be different because we all know the market and the trend are changing.
888 BOT #backtest█ 888 BOT #backtest (open source)
This is an Expert Advisor 'EA' or Automated trading script for ‘longs’ and ‘shorts’, which uses only a Take Profit or, in the worst case, a Stop Loss to close the trade.

The downside is that the position is doubled in size. 'ACTIVATE DIVIDE TP': Divide the size of the TP in half. More probability of the trade closing but less profit.
█ STOP LOSS and RISK MANAGEMENT.
A good risk management is what can make your equity go up or be liquidated.
The % risk is the percentage of our capital that we are willing to lose by operation. This is recommended to be between 1-5%.
% Risk: (% Stop Loss x % Equity per trade x Leverage) / 100
First the strategy is calculated with Stop Loss, then the risk per operation is determined and from there, the amount per operation is calculated and not vice versa.

'STOP LOSS CONFIRMED': The Stop Loss is only activated if the closing of the previous bar is in the loss limit condition. It's useful to prevent the SL from triggering when they do a ‘pump’ to sweep Stops and then return the price to the previous state.
█ BACKTEST
The objective of the Backtest is to evaluate the effectiveness of our strategy. A good Backtest is determined by some parameters such as:
- RECOVERY FACTOR: It consists of dividing the 'net profit' by the 'drawdown’. An excellent trading system has a recovery factor of 10 or more; that is, it generates 10 times more net profit than drawdown.
- PROFIT FACTOR: The ‘Profit Factor’ is another popular measure of system performance. It's as simple as dividing what win trades earn by what loser trades lose. If the strategy is profitable then by definition the 'Profit Factor' is going to be greater than 1. Strategies that are not profitable produce profit factors less than one. A good system has a profit factor of 2 or more. The good thing about the ‘Profit Factor’ is that it tells us what we are going to earn for each dollar we lose. A profit factor of 2.5 tells us that for every dollar we lose operating we will earn 2.5.
- SHARPE: (Return system - Return without risk) / Deviation of returns.
When the variations of gains and losses are very high, the deviation is very high and that leads to a very poor ‘Sharpe’ ratio. If the operations are very close to the average (little deviation) the result is a fairly high 'Sharpe' ratio. If a strategy has a 'Sharpe' ratio greater than 1 it is a good strategy. If it has a 'Sharpe' ratio greater than 2, it is excellent. If it has a ‘Sharpe’ ratio less than 1 then we don't know if it is good or bad, we have to look at other parameters.
- MATHEMATICAL EXPECTATION: (% winning trades X average profit) + (% losing trades X average loss).
To earn money with a Trading system, it is not necessary to win all the operations, what is really important is the final result of the operation. A Trading system has to have positive mathematical expectation as is the case with this script: ME = (0.87 x 30.74$) - (0.13 x 56.16$) = (26.74 - 7.30) = 19.44$ > 0
The game of roulette, for example, has negative mathematical expectation for the player, it can have positive winning streaks, but in the long term, if you continue playing you will end up losing, and casinos know this very well.
PARAMETERS
'BACKTEST DAYS': Number of days back of historical data for the calculation of the Backtest.
'ENTRY TYPE': For '% EQUITY' if you have $ 10,000 of capital and select 7.5%, for example, your entry would be $ 750 without leverage. If you select CONTRACTS for the 'BTCUSDT' pair, for example, it would be the amount in 'Bitcoins' and if you select 'CASH' it would be the amount in $ dollars.
'QUANTITY (LEVERAGE 1X)': The amount for an entry with X1 leverage according to the previous section.
'MAXIMUM LEVERAGE': It's the maximum allowed multiplier of the quantity entered in the previous section according to the volume condition.
The settings are for Bitcoin at Binance Futures (BTC: USDTPERP) in 15 minutes.
For other pairs and other timeframes, the settings have to be adjusted again. And within a month, the settings will be different because we all know the market and the trend are changing.

!BooM!Hello
The indicator measures the relationship between Average True Range (ATR) that shows how much an asset moves, on average, during a given time frame and Standard Deviation that measuring how widely asset prices are dispersed from the average price. If prices trade in a narrow trading range, the relationship between the ATR and SD will return a low value that indicates low volatility that will lead to potential price quick movement.
To increase the accuracy of the indicator and reduce false signals, it generates three circles, each indicate protentional price quick movement coming. For circle to print, following criteria must meet:
• Green Circle is based on low volatility and both ATR and SD are at minimum value for a short pre-defined time frame.
• Magenta Circle is based on low volatility and SD are at minimum value for a long pre-defined time frame.
• Yellow Circle is based on low volatility and SD are at minimum value for a short pre-defined time frame and Average Directional Movement Index reaching to pre-defined level.
The indicator focuses mainly on identifying potential price quick movement. However, it is equipped with two signal that is generated upon crossing the keltner channel upper or lower bands to help identifying the direction of the price movements but the user shall study the chart on big time frame to confirm the direction of the price movement.

DMI-ADX HistogramThe Average Direction Index (ADX) coupled with the Direction Movement Index (DMI), developed by J. Welles Wilder, is a popular indicator that measures trend direction and strength.
The AX line (blue) is used to show the strength of the current trend. It does not tell you the trend direction. The under laid histogram shows relative movements of the price with green showing positive momentum and red showing negative momentum. Use these ADX and DMI together to find trend strength and direction.
- ADX line below 20 indicates that the underlying is in accumulation/distribution.
- ADX line above 20 mean that the underlying is trending with over 60 being very strong.
*When the ADX line is below 20 it is likely to see many reversal signals on the DMI Histogram. It is best to use the DMI signals when the ADX line is above 20 or higher. This is also a good level to play around with.
Motivation
Normally the direction movements are plotted as lines with the DI+ being green and the DI- being red. When the DI+ (green) crosses over DI- (red) this may indicate a buy signal, and vice versa. I found this visual representation made it difficult to see signals as well as lacked the ability to easy see the relative strength of other moves.
I have also noticed that the histogram values will periodically cross the ADX line, but not for very long periods. This could be a useful signal to explore further in the future.
In this image the top indicator is using the normal DI+/- lines, where the bottom indicator is using an absolute histogram.
