CBC Engine [MMT]CBC Engine is a Candle-By-Candle (CBC) Flip strategy indicator for TradingView, specifically optimized for the 3-minute chart with a 10-minute higher-timeframe (HTF) bias.
It is based on the CBC Flip method originally popularized by MapleStax . The core idea is simple yet powerful: a new directional bias is established the moment price closes beyond the previous candle’s extreme.
Core Logic – CBC Flip
Bullish Flip (Long) : Current candle closes above the previous candle’s High
Bearish Flip (Short) : Current candle closes below the previous candle’s Low
If neither happens, the previous CBC state persists (no new flip).
Strong Flip (optional, higher accuracy):
Long : Price first sweeps below the previous low (liquidity grab), then closes above the previous high.
Short : Price first sweeps above the previous high, then closes below the previous low.
Key Filters & Enhancements
1. Trend Environment (EMA + VWAP)
Longs are only allowed when the Slow EMA > VWAP (bullish environment)
Shorts are only allowed when the Slow EMA < VWAP (bearish environment)
You can also display a Pullback EMA for extra context.
2. Dual Timeframe Bias (3m + 10m)
The 10-minute chart provides the overall bias using its own CBC state.
Primary rule: Only take 3m flips that align with the 10m CBC bias.
Bounce Override (very useful): If the 3m flip goes against the 10m bias, it can still fire only if price bounces off the 10m EMA band (Fast & Slow EMA) while that band is trending in the direction of the trade.
3. Stop Loss Logic
Long SL = Lowest low of the last N candles (default N=2)
Short SL = Highest high of the last N candles
The SL is plotted on the chart and tracked internally. The position is invalidated if price closes beyond the SL.
Visual & Usability Features
- Background Coloring : Shows the current 10m HTF bias (green = bullish, red = bearish, gray = neutral).
- EMA Cloud : Filled areas between 9/13 and 13/21 EMAs to visualize trend strength and pullbacks.
- VWAP : Session-anchored VWAP with customizable style.
- Signals :
Main aligned signals → Lime ▲ LONG or Red ▼ SHORT labels with SL level.
Bounce overrides → Blue ▲ BOUNCE or Orange ▼ REJECT labels.
Weak flips (when “Show ALL Flip Arrows” is on) → small faint triangles for context.
- Dashboard : Shows 10m Bias, 3m State, EMA/VWAP environment, Current Position (Main or Bounce), Stop Loss, and Mode (Strong Flip vs All Flips).
- Session Filter : Optional intraday session (default 09:30–16:00).
Best Use Case
Primary setup : 3-minute chart for entries + 10-minute for bias.
Works best in trending markets where the HTF bias is clear.
The bounce override makes it more flexible in choppy or ranging conditions by allowing counter-bias entries when price respects the HTF EMA band.
“Strong Flips Only” mode significantly reduces noise but gives fewer signals.
