Easy Backtester PROWHAT IS EasyBacktester ?
EasyBacktester is a tool that helps you backtest trading strategies built by yourself with an included strategy builder and a multitude of options.
From within the parameters of the tool, you can specifically pick your entry settings across 12 most common indicators, such as "RSI", "MACD", "Moving Averages" etc... Then you can immediately visualise your setup's Stop-loss & Take Profit, your expected Profits & Loss and a lot of other statistics for your entry strategy. Once you are satisfied with your entry strategy, you are given a set of tools to optimize your setup using stop-loss rules, take profits rules, partial profits, trailing-stops, entry timing...
WHY IS THIS TOOL DIFFERENT ?
EasyBacktester is a backtesting engine with no coding skills required. TradingView allows for "Strategy Scripting" using PineScript, which is not an option for non-coder audience. EasyBacktester fills this gap and allow non-coders to get an idea of how their trading strategies may perform using mouse clicks only.
Some similar attempts have been made on TradingView, allowing some limited options, but none have the same capabilities EasyBacktester offers, for instance, as of April 2022 these features have not been seen in any other TradingView tools:
- partial take profits
- leverage simulation
- a multitude of trailing stop-loss possibilities including trail triggers and trail parameters
- visualisation of entries including stop-loss, take profits, partial take profits, and trailing stops. One can now visualize such complex setups.
- visualisation of Profits & Loss
- time in trade
- wait strategy after a signal: for example, when RSI is oversold, "WAIT until price retraces 100% of the original signal" amongst other possibilities
QUICK START GUIDE:
STEP 1: DEFINE YOUR SIGNAL STRATEGY
From the settings of the tool, find the "SIGNALS STRATEGY" section.
Select a type of entry you wish to simulate, for example "LONGs", and activate the checkbox right before "Simulate".
Right below, you will find 4 signal builder for you to play with and pick your strategy accordingly.
For example, to simulate a signal when RSI is oversold, follow these steps:
- On the 1st multiple choice box, select "RSI"
- On the 2nd multiple choice box, select "is below..."
- On the 3rd multiple choice box, select "OverSold level"
Don't forget to activate this rule by checking the checkbox in front of it.
After this first step, one should immediately see the chart affected with some plots. The dots represents the signal entry defined by the rule we just created, and the red/green boxes visually represent trades that could have been taken with this signal which, in this example, occurs "when RSI is below oversold level". Note that all specific parameters for RSI including its specific "oversold level" is customisable at the end of the tools settings along with all other indicators settings.
STEP 2: STATISTICS
By default, the "APPEARANCE" section only plots potential entry signals (materialized by dots) and actual entry boxes (materialized by red/green boxes).
But the user can easily add other precious statistics to the chart, and obviously the most important one for backtesting: Profits & Loss (P&L).
In the "STATISTICS" section please check the "P&L" box to see appear a chart of the simulated P&L for our example. You should immediately see a new graph below the chart representing the evolution of the P&L after each entry.
Other statistics are available to the user, including: Equity, Number of Trades, Time in Position, Number of trades Won, Number of trades Lost, Number of trades Stopped.
Play around with those to see them plotted on your chart.
STEP 3: OPTIMIZE YOUR ENTRY
Under the "ENTRY STRATEGY" section, one can pick how to enter AFTER the signal, which provides the user with an extensive flexibility to pick its timing.
Here there are a various set of choices offered, ranging from the default "Market Order at Next Candle Open", to "Limit Order: at signal's candle open" or even "Stop-Buy: at break of last candle high". As its name suggests, this option allows you to actually wait before randomly enter in trade.
It is important to also note that the user can totally prevent entry if the conditions are not filled after a customizable number of candles represented in "Max bars to wait for entry" (default being 1, meaning the engine will wait the condition to be filled during only 1 candle)
STEP 4: MANAGE YOUR RISK
Under the "RISK MANAGEMENT" section, the user is given a series of options to set the amount (s)he would like to risk.
This is extremely important to set, and is the result of a combination of customizable options including:
- the Initial Capital of the account
- the amount to risk per trade, and HOW to risk it: some fixed % the initial equity or adjust the stop-loss to the desired risk ?
- use of leverage or not
- initial stop-loss, as well as minimum and maximum
- trailing stop-loss: what should trigger the trailing ? and by how much should the engine trail ?
STEP 5: HAVE AN EXIT PLAN
Under the "EXIT STRATEGY", the user can define how to exit the trade.
For instance, here again a lot of options are given:
- Take Profit: exit at some level of profits defined by a multiple of the stop-loss, or a multiple of the ATR, or some % or points
- Partial Profit taking before exit
- Panic close position after some time spent on the trade
STEP 6: FURTHER OPTIMIZATIONS
Under the sections "Commissions" & "Calendar & Sessions", one can simulate real trading conditions by including commissions fees as well as filtering actual dates and trading sessions. These sections are straightforward for any user to use.
SETP 7: INDICATORS SETTINGS
Since EasyBacktester uses a predefined set of indicators to get started, those indicators are also customizable in the last section of the settings. Here, one can easily customize RSI periodicity, MACD lengths, Moving averages types & lengths, ATR, etc...
STEP 8: GOING FURTHER
This is only a start to give users an overview of how various options affect their trading performance. But of course, each trader has its special recipe and specific detailed setup that is not possible to embed in a single tool. For advanced simulation, EasyBacktester provides plug & play connectors for advanced users. Namely, there are 3 connectors:
- signal connector
- trail trigger connector
- exit connector
Each of these connectors are an opportunity to customize the engine signals, trail trigger and exit choices with the user's own options. This case does require a little bit of coding, but it can easily be implemented by copy-pasting existing resources or with a slight help of a professional. In fact, the only conditions to build a proper connector is to export a plot with the numbers 1 (for signals), 2 (for trigger trails) and 3 (for exits). Here is an example of custom SIGNAL connector compatible with EasyBacktester, to produce a signal when last RSI was below 30 and current RSI reads above 30:
============================================================
//@version=5
indicator("My custom RSI signal")
// when previous RSI 14 was below 30 and current RSI 14 is above 30, set "custom_signal" to 1, otherwise set "custom_signal" to 0
custom_signal = ta.rsi(close, 14) < 30 and ta.rsi(close, 14) > 30 ? 1 : 0
// Export a plot of "custom_signal", but do not display it
plot(custom_signal, title="my signal", display=display.none)
============================================================
Once this indicator has been built, the user only needs to connect it with EasyBacktester as follow:
1. Open a desired chart, and add both EasyBacktester indicator as well as the custom "My custom signal" we just created above.
2. Open EasyBacktester's settings, and in the first option, there is "Connect signals source" which by default is set to "close". In the multiple choices, find your custom signal which should be named something like "My custom RSI signal: my signal", generally speaking the name is built like this " : ".
3. Now the custom code is connected to EasyBacktester, but we need to indicate the engine we actually want to use it as custom signal.
4. Under the "SIGNALS STRATEGY" section, where we generally build signals rules, there is special rule for this specific connection named "Use external source as entry signal". Just check the checkbox to activate it and see how the chart took our custom signal into consideration.
That's it for the overview of EasyBacktester. Thank you for reading and happy trading :)

TT Price/Trend IndicatorThe TT Price/Trend Indicator identifies potential trend changes and advises of safe places to set orders at retracements.
Main Signals:
When a "BUY" signal prints, it is suggested to set a buy order at the Blue trendline and wait until price retraces back.
When a "SELL" signal prints, it is suggested to set a short order at the Blue trendline and wait until price rises up.
Take Profit:
The Reactive Trendline (the thick line that switches from Green to Red, and Red to Green frequently) is good at finding local bottoms.
It is suggested to Take Profit on your Long once you see the first switch from Green to Red. If the Reactive Trendline is already Red when your LONG order is filled, wait until it goes from Red-Green-Red to Take Profit.
It is suggested to Take Profit on your Short once you see the first switch from Red to Green. If the Reactive Trendline is already Green when your SHORT order is filled, wait until it goes from Green-Red-Green to Take Profit.
Stop Loss Suggestions:
If you are LONG (BUY), set your Stop/Loss to slightly below the last Higher Low (HL)
If you are SHORT (SELL), set your Stop/Loss to slightly above the last Lower High (LH)
Alternatively, if you want to maximise your Risk:Reward ratio, you can CLOSE your order once a candle engulfs and closes over both the Blue Line AND the Grey Line. Once these levels are broken and you are underwater, the risk to hold that position is no longer worth it. However, this approach can shake you out of winning trades, so I advise you to use other strategies such as Volume, Fibonnaci and RSI etc to help you make a final decision.
Important: If you are taking this approach, don't panic sell - wait for the close of the current engulfing candle to make this decision, because quite often it will just be a wick up or down in your favour.
What are the best Strategies?
The best timeframes are as follows:
- 1 Hour
- 2 Hour
- 4 Hour
- 1 Day
- 1 Week
My Favourite is 1 Hour.
Scalping for advanced traders:
- 1 minute
- 5 minutes
If you are scalping, it is highly recommended to use the TT Volume Indicator as well, to confirm price with volume (see scripts under my profile). Price on its own will not be good enough.
I also recommend the RSI with a 14 SMA to identify Strength breakouts.
Other Features:
- VWAP (Dotted Red/Green line) - this is common liquidity and can be one of the most important Support/Resistance levels in Crypto, which is why it is included.
Can you FOMO order?
Unless you are using this with a combination of other indicators (such as the TT Volume Indicator), it is not recommended to FOMO orders at the "BUY" or "SELL" signal unless you have a clear volume breakout. Please see this explanation on FOMO ordering for further information:
Trading Assistant DiNGUETrading Assistant DiNGUE This indicator is like a trading assistant for your charts.
It helps set your biases and emotions aside and lets you focus on managing trades in an easy visual way.
Get various types of signals to enter your trades (either Long or Short). Then use take profits, stops, or the opposite signal to exit trades.
The signals are created from various indicators and sensibility options you can customize any way you want. Works on every timeframe.
You can customize every setting or used the preset ones. Preset settings adjust automatically based on the timeframe you are using on the chart.
The 12 Indicators are Volume - RSI - Stochastic - MacD - Moving Averages (MA) - Rate of Change (ROC) - ADX DMI Directional Movement Index - On Balance Volume (OBV) - Bollinger Bands - VWAP - ATR - Parabolic SAR.
Every indicator can be turned On or Off.
You can adjust the way it creates signals by selecting either 'rise-fall', 'crosses' or by combining both.
You can select the sensitivity of the signal from Normal - Safe - Safer.
You can adjust lengths or use the preset ones.
There are also additional options for each indicator, you can filter weak levels for ADX, filter for tight bands, have ROC above 0…
You can also plot several of those indicators on the screen. 2x Moving Averages, 2x VWAP, 2x ATR, 2x SAR for even easier visualization of the trend.
You can also plot fractals to facilitate once again on trend visualization. Higher high, lower low, higher low, lower high.
Trade with the Trend and Safe Trades:
If you want to have a higher chance of success, you can trade with the trend. First, select the trend timeframe you would like to use. Let's say the “Weekly” trend. Meaning it will generate a signal on the weekly timeframe and based on the result (Long or Short) it will only take trades in that direction. So the trend is LONG on the Weekly and you get a “Long” signal, it will take it. “Short” signals on the other hand will be treated as “stops” and won’t want to go against the trend by going ‘short’.
Safe Trend works in the same manner, but instead of using the signal on a bigger timeframe, it uses an indicator as to the deciding factor. Let's say you select the 200SMA as the “Safe signal”. The indicator will only go “Long” when above the 200SMA and “Short” under the 200SMA. Otherwise, it will put a stop instead of going against the trend.
Stop Loss:
There are 4 different types of stop-loss that you can use at the same time.
- Indicator Stop
- Fib stop
- Fix % stop
- Trailing stop
You can plot the stops directly on the chart AND OR add them to the panel for an easy visualization once again.
With the ‘indicator stop’, you can select one of the two: MA ATR SAR VWAP as a stop.
Fib stop, it uses fib numbers to calculate a stopping point.
Fix %, you can select your max loss in percent. Could be 2%, 5%
A trailing stop is like a fixed stop but that will trail as the price moves in the right direction.
Take Profit:
There are 4 different types of take profit that you can use simultaneously.
- Fix % Take Profit
- ATR multiple Take Profit
- Fib multiple Take Profit
- Bollinger Band Take Profit
Fix % just let you set a fix take profit target in percent.
ATR multiple lets you select a target based on a multiple of the average true range.
Fib multiple lets you select a target based on a fib multiple
Bolling Band lets you take profit based on the Bollinger band settings you select.
Visual Panel:
The visual panel lets you see exactly how is the last trade progressing. It will give you the entry price, profit, stop, and target. You can turn it on or off, as is for the stop and target.
You can also decide to plot 1 position or more, you can even show all the possible signals, add backgrounds with colors. You can also plot the bigger Trend and Safe Signals explained above.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, feel free to do so!
TradeChartist Actuator™TradeChartist Actuator is an extremely functional indicator that converts the price action volatility and momentum into a meaningful trading system (based on user defined Standard Deviation Factor), that consists of expanding/contracting Volatility Range Bands, Dynamic Trend Support/Resistance Bands and 2 types of Breakout Signals in a visually stunning design. The script also neatly packs in ZigZag & manual/automatic Fibonacci Retracement tools, option to filter the signals using an external filter and other useful extras like ™TradeChartist Dollar Candles and much more.
===================================================================================================================
™TradeChartist Actuator User Manual
█ Actuator Range Bands
Actuator Range Bands consists of a Mean line, an Upper Band and a Lower Band which are based on user defined Standard Deviation Factor (Default - 1.618, Min - 0.5, Max - 2). The 1.618 factor works extremely well as the unnecessary volatility data of the bands are eliminated by Actuator's logic. In my personal tests, 1.618 works consistently better than any other value in visually showcasing the true volatility range. By eliminating the unnecessary volatility data from the original non-stabilized bands, Actuator helps detect price momentum by detecting two types of breakouts.
Bands Breakout - Filtered
When the price breaks out of the upper or lower band after a trend, there is a strong possibility of a reversal especially when the volatility expansion/contraction takes place. This is detected using a built in filter with the Filtered Bands Breakout and the user can choose to use the closing price or High/Low price as the trigger for breakouts. This trade setup is very useful especially at zones where the Actuator Range Bands contract or squeeze after an expansion as shown in the OANDA:XAUUSD 1hr chart below.
Also, after a consistent expansion of the bands with price trending in the upper channel or the lower channel, users can spot good profit taking or Short trade opportunities with confirmation of overbought price and if possible a strong bear divergence as show in the BINANCE:LUNAUSDTPERP 1hr chart below.
It can be seen from the chart above that even though Actuator is designed to detect Extreme Bands Breakout using High/Low price, it is done with a little bit of filtering by the script logic and hence didn't generate a Bear signal at the lower band support zone.
Mean Breakout - Filtered
In most Mean Reversion models, mostly oscillators, the mean plays an important role in helping traders predict the price dynamic, but it also presents a challenge whether that mean will act as support or resistance so the trader can take a position that will have a high probability of success. Filtered Mean Breakout helps exactly to identify the price dynamic at the mean zone and helps reduce the dilemma. Actuator uses Volatility Trend and Momentum of the price action at mean to determine Bull/Bear breakouts. Following NASDAQ:AAPL 1hr chart shows an example of 2 instances of Filtered Mean Breakout detection, one bull and one bear and further area where no Breakout was detected in spite of price crossing the mean.
This Breakout type is really helpful in spotting early moves and also reduces the high volatility risk of Extreme Bands Breakout in some cases.
===================================================================================================================
█ External Filter
Actuator breakout signals can be further filtered using the feature of connecting an external signal as a trade filter.
External filter like RSI , MACD etc. can be used to filter breakouts by connecting to ™TradeChartist Actuator under ╔═══ 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝗴 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 ═══ 🔌 dropdown by enabling 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫.
To get the external filter to work, 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 must be set right. For plots that are non oscillatory like Moving Averages, Super Trend etc., choose type as Non Oscillatory and for Oscillators like RSI , CCI , MACD etc., choose type as Oscillatory .
For Oscillators, levels must be specified for 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 and 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞, especially if the Oscillator doesnt have 0 as midline, like RSI . Even for 0 mid oscillators like CCI , filter levels like 100/-100 work effectively to filter noise.
Use 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥/𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥 under Actuator Visuals section to paint the trade zones background. It helps visually see the effect of filters on the breakout entries and also the trade performance.
The following chart shows the Filter settings with ™TradeChartist Momentum Drift Oscillator connected to Actuator as Oscillatory signal with filter values 0.
The two example charts of 1hr BINANCE:BTCUSDT below shows the difference in Actuator signals based on Oscillatory signal from ™TradeChartist Momentum Drift Oscillator and the difference can be seen from the highlighted Bull/Bear Background Fill.

With External Filter
===================================================================================================================
█ Dynamic Trend Support/Resistance Bands
In addition to Volatility Range Bands, Actuator also plots Dynamic Trend Support and Resistance bands that are more sensitive to price action and helps the user determine growing support/resistance which is indicated by coloured dots. These dots normally appear when the Support or Resistance stays at the same level for a few bars and change between Bull and Bear colours based on how the price interacts with them as shown below.
===================================================================================================================
█ Useful Trade Tools
™TradeChartist Dollar Candles
Dollar Candles help detect the volatility exhaustion prices and plots $ signs to help the trader take profits or move stop loss levels to secure gains. The $ signs do not appear for every trade zone, but whenever price hits a critical level, it shows up above price bar (for Bull trend) or below price bar (for Bear trend) in real time. Users can also set alerts for Dollar Candles with Once Per Bar setting. The Daily NASDAQ:TSLA chart below shows the Dollar Candles on both Bull and Bear trends.
It is important to note that taking pockets of profits on a leveraged trade position or moving up stop loss to maximize trend gains at $ candles will help increase Average Profitability Per Trade (APPT) .
Bull/Bear Background Fill
Bull/Bear Background Fill paints the trade zones in Bull and Bear colours. This helps visualize the difference in trade zones when testing various settings and also helps analyze past performance of Actuator Signals with or without the use of External Filter.
Entry Stop Loss Reference
Reference zone for stop loss has always been a tricky one for traders. Using a fixed percentage stop at entry may not be best during high volatility moves. Over the extensive period of Actuator testing, a simple solution to this problem was found. The previous trend's Range Bands Mean Line served as a perfect reference point for Entry Stop. Also while analysing this Mean line, it was found to be a perfect horizontal support/resistance line and also helped detect unproductive trades. The example 15m chart of NASDAQ:AMD shows how the Entry Stop Loss Reference performed.
Stop Line Touch Points plot orange touch points on the Stop Line whenever the price hits it during the trade.
Actuator Colour Bars
Actuator Colour Bars paints the Momentum Strength on the price bars. This helps visually see the price bars venturing into the Overbought or the Oversold zones. Also, this feature also helps spot divergences as higher highs or lower lows with less intense Bull/Bear colour than the previous high/low shows diminishing momentum as shown in the 1h chart of OANDA:GBPJPY below.
===================================================================================================================
█ ZigZag & Fibonacci Toolkit
Actuator plots developing and completed ZigZags based on Bull and Bear trend depending on the Breakout Type and Breakout Price from the settings.
Option to enable or disable 𝐙𝐢𝐠𝐙𝐚𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 which can be helpful for Harmonic traders.
Option to display 𝐙𝐢𝐠𝐙𝐚𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬/𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐬 and 𝐑𝐒𝐈 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬/𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐬 in one of two styles.
Two types of Fibonacci to choose from - 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨-𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 and 𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.
𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨-𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 option plots Auto Fibonacci levels based on Bull/Bear trend depending on user specified Breakout Type and Breakout Price.
𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 plots Fibonacci levels based on the highest high and lowest low of the lookback period (𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬 or 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬).
Fibonacci levels can be reversed by enabling 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 from settings.
Enabling 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐛 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 displays the current Fib level of the developing price bar.
Option to customize Fib levels and colours.
4hr chart of BINANCE:BTCUSDT showing Auto Fibonacci levels, Zig-Zag with Trend High/Lows, Zig-Zag connectors with Fib Ratios and RSI at Trend High/Low prices.
Note:
If momentum doesn't slow down, the fibs can extend beyond 1 and may continue way beyond 4.618 fib level. These are quite rare depending on how distant the near high/low is based.
ZigZag and Fibonacci are good reference indicators and should always be used as confirmations rather than standalone indicators.
===================================================================================================================
█ Actuator Colour Scheme
Actuator employs 3 built in colour schemes namely Chilli , Flame and Sublime Grayscale and a versatile colour scheme Custom which enables the user to customise the colour combinations of the components of the Actuator script.
===================================================================================================================
█ Alerts
Alerts can be created for the following.
Actuator Bull Breakout Signal - Once Per Bar Close
Actuator Bear Breakout Signal - Once Per Bar Close
Actuator Long Dollar - Take Profit - Once Per Bar
Actuator Short Dollar - Take Profit - Once Per Bar
Actuator Stop Line Hit - Once Per Bar
Note: The script doesn't repaint, so the alerts can be used with confidence. To check this, users can do bar replays to check if the plots and markers stay in the same place.
===================================================================================================================
Best Practice: Test with different settings first using Paper Trades before trading with real money

[astropark] Volume AnalyzerDear Followers,
today another awesome Analysis Tool, that you can use for day scalping: Volume Analyzer !
This indicator
works on every market, pair and timeframe
lets you see analysis of a different timeframes using the resolution parameter
has an optional trend colored background (I suggest to disable it if you use a different resolution)
integrates a tape profit strategy based on RSI (you can config it and enable/disable it)
lets you setup alarms on bull/bear signal as well as on TP RSI-based signals
I prefer to use this indicator in my day trading on low timeframes , like 5m - 15m - 1h, as you can have access to a more detailed volume information, but it works on high timeframes too as you can see in examples at the bottom of the description.
I truly think that Volume says a lot about future price action, as stated in my Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator, which you can find here below:
In this indicator, I'm much more interested in the bullish or bearish effect of volume generated by traders and following price action.
Be sure to understand that at current status this is not a complete automated strategy, but an analysis tool which aims to give you a positive bias, a profitable hedge in your trading journey.
As I always say, all tools are great if you use them correctly: this is not the "Holy Grail", so always use proper money and risk management strategies.
This indicator quite often calls bottoms and tops , most of the times it announces a coming reversals , sometimes it fails too of course.
Check this screenshot to have a clear idea of what I'm talking about:
You are supposed to discard signals of the same type that comes later and at a worse price (related to the trend) or you can use to re-fill your still-open position, using it as a re-entry.
You are supposed to act at first signals and average up/down if price goes against you when a new bear/bull signal appears at a better price.
Here it is another element you must consider: price action can deny a reversal stated by volume analysis .
In these cases, you must apply a stop loss in your trade and reverse your position. Don't average up/down your entry.
The reason in this screenshot below:
As you can see, the local downtrend was broken, as it was a simple pullback, previous bull trend was restored and price went up a lot!
The indicator here detected bears rejecting the run-up as much violently as they could, but that was a pullback, nothing more than that: main bull trend was still intact.
Another important advice: don't be greedy, always remember to take profits ! Avoid turning a winning trade into a losing one, which is a common mistake traders do.
That's why I decided to include an RSI based Take Profit algorithm inside:
when background is colored by green (and you can't see any bull signal), then you are in over bought region: start taking profits on you buy/long position or close it or set a trailing stop or a stop loss in profit!
when background is colored by red (and you can't see any bear signal), then you are in over sold region: start taking profits on you sell/short position or close it or set a trailing stop or a stop loss in profit!
when price is in a big overbought or oversold region, then you can see a "ob" label or a "os" label respectively
if you are in a bullish trend (you can see it from the trend colored green background as last signal was a "bull" one), "ob" becomes a clear "tp" - Take Profit advice
if you are in a bearish trend (you can see it from the trend colored red background as last signal was a "bear" one), "os" becomes a clear "tp" - Take Profit advice
Here some examples how you can use the signals produced by the indicator in order to be a successful trader.
I circled with pink signals you as supposed to take, then with a "$" pink backgrounded region where you are supposed to take profits, I finally put an X on failing signals, where you would theoretically have been stopped-out.

[NLX-L2] QQE++- NLX Modular Trading Framework -
I've written this QQE Indicator from scratch and the functionality is self-explaining.
The Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) indicator is computed based on a combination of smoothed RSI and the average true range.
- Getting Started -
1. Add this QQE Indicator to your Chart
2. Add the Backtest module to your Chart
3. Select the QQE Indicator in the Backtest Settings
- Alerts for Automated Trading -
This module is coming soon and you will be able to create alerts for the QQE Signals as part of my framework.
See my signature below for more information.
- Note -
The high win-rate in the backtest is the result of taking partial take-profits in between trade entry and exit.
Don't be fooled, it's impossible to achieve 80% profitable trades but due to take-profit orders 80% of the trades at least secure some profit.
Cracking Cryptocurrency - Bottom FeederThe Bottom Feeder
The Bottom Feeder is designed to algorithmically detect significantly oversold conditions in price that represent profitable buying opportunities. Combining this with it’s unique Stop and Target System, the Bottom Feeder is designed to return consistent return with minimal draw down. Whether used as a Market Bottom Detector or as a system for executing safe, profitable mean reversion trades, the Bottom Feeder is a powerful tool in any trader’s arsenal.
Bottom Feeder was designed to be used on BTCUSD , however it is also effective on other USD/USDT pairs. One will have to check the individual pair they wish to trade with the Strategy Tester to simulate performance.
Options
Let’s go through the input options one by one, so that you are able to comfortably navigate all that this indicator has to offer. The link below will display a picture of the layout of the settings for your convenience.
For the sake of simplicity, let’s note now that all settings marked **Conservative Mode** will not work in Aggressive Mode.
Mode: Determines how aggressively Bottom Feeder generates a buy signal. In Conservative Mode, trades can only be opened once per candle and the stop and target will update as new signals appear. In Aggressive Mode, a separate trade is opened each time Bottom Feeder signals, which may be multiple times within one Daily candle.
Plot Target and Stop Loss: Toggles on/off the visualized take profit and stop losses on the chart.
**Conservative Mode** TP Multiplier: This is an input box, it requires a float value. That is, it can accept either a whole number integer or a number with a decimal. This number will determine your Take Profit target. It will take whatever number is entered into this box and multiply the Average True Range against it to determine your Take Profit.
**Conservative Mode** SL Multiplier: See above - this will modify your Stop Loss Value.
**Conservative Mode** Average or Median True Range: This is a drop-down option, the two options are Average True Range or Median True Range. If Average True Range is selected, then this indicator will use the Average True Range calculation, that is, the average of a historical set of True Range values to determine the Average True Range value for Target and Stop Loss calculation. If Median True Range is selected, it will not take an average and will instead take the Median value of your historical look back period.
**Conservative Mode** True Range Length: This is an input that requires an integer. This will represent your historical look back period for Average/Median True Range calculation.
**Conservative Mode** True Range Smoothing: This is a drop-down with the following options: Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ), Simple Moving Average ( SMA ), Weighted Moving Average ( WMA ), Relative Moving Average (RMA). This will determine the smoothing type for calculating the Average True Range if it is selected. Note: if Median True Range is selected above, this option will not have any effect as there is no smoothing for a Median value.
**Conservative Mode** Custom True Range Value?: This is a true/false option that is false by default. If enabled, it will override the Average/Median True Range calculation in favor of a users custom True Range value to be input below.
**Conservative Mode** Custom True Range Value: This is an input box that requires a float value. If Custom True Range is enabled this is where a user will input their desired custom True Range value for Target and Stop Loss calculation.
Stop and Target Description
Because Bottom Feeder is designed only to scalp the various market bottoms that can appear over time in the market and not to identify trends or to trade ranges, it’s imperative that the indicator notify us not just to when to enter our trades, but when to exit! In the service of that, CC Bottom Feeder has a built in Stop and Target system that tracks and displays the stop loss and take profit levels of each individual open trade, whether in Aggressive or Conservative Mode.
Conservative Mode Targeting: In Conservative Mode, Bottom Feeder signals are aggregated into a compound trade. The signal will appear as a green label pointing up below a candle, and will appear upon a candle close. If Bottom Feeder then generates another signal the stop loss and target price will be updated. The process will continue until the aggregated trade completes in either direction. On a trade with multiple signals, a larger position is slowly entered into upon each buy signal.
Aggressive Mode Targeting: In Aggressive Mode, Bottom Feeder signals are individually displayed as they are generated, regardless of how many signals are generated on any single candle. If Bottom Feeder continues to signal, each individual open trade will have their own stop loss and target that will be displayed on the chart until the individual trade completes in either direction. As opposed to a large compound position, aggressive mode represents a higher number of independent signals with their own stop and target levels.
Stop losses and targets are designed to be hard, not soft. That is, they are intended to be stop market orders, not mental stop losses. If price wicks through the target or stop, it will activate.
Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends
2.1 Forewords
The Multiple Trends+ is the update of the Multiple Trends and includes a built-in Trade Manager and PnL/Risk-Reward Panel
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM users. Our PREMIUM indicators offer more trading analysis capabilities and opportunities.
A few words of caution: the Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends are more advanced and as such, would require slightly more time to be mastered.
They're not that much difficult, but we understand that designing a trading system with 2 trends might be slightly more complicated - however, there is nothing to be scared of :).
The time spent to learn how to use our PREMIUM tools might be rewarded handsomely.
2.2 Concept
The Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
This is an upgrade of the PRO package giving access to the Algorithm Builder - Single Trend - designed to show 1 unique entry per trend - whereas the Multiple Trends offers re-entries in the same direction of the trend if the indicator detects good convergences to accumulate more positions.
III. Plug & Play
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ Plug & Play (hence the plug and play name).
Let's assume we have an RSI divergence indicator - which is not part of the Algorithm Builder - but noticed that the convergence of an RSI divergence and a MACD gives strong signals.
I mentioned an RSI divergence, but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it in the convergence/confluence calculations.
Hence, whenever the MACD and RSI divergence will be in the same direction every time you'll get a convergence.
PS: Whereas it's only the first time only because this is a Single trend edition.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning upfront you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. Multiple Trends versus Single Trend
4.1 Multiple Trends benefits
A friend asked us recently Why using the Multiple Trends if we can use the Single Trend in a smaller timeframe, and get more entries that way?
We thought this was an excellent question, but the answer is obvious.
Using a Single Trend on a smaller timeframe to solely getting more entries will reduce the security of the given trades.
We designed the Algorithm Builders to take a trade in an identified trend but reducing the timeframe too much will mostly increase your risk - and might lead to capital loss.
By the way, this is a universal rule valid also for a big majority of indicators.
We're absolutely not saying that the Single Trend won't work on small timeframes because actually it really does. But, if you find out a great configuration for your Single Trend, and want to get more signals without increasing your risk - then the Multiple Trends would be a very viable option.
4.2 Main signal versus secondary signals
For the main and secondary trends, the color green symbolizes any identified "BUY" trend. And the color red symbolizes any identified "SELL" trend.
-The MAIN trend symbol is unique and symbolized by a triangle.
- The SECONDARY (could also be called re-entries) trends are multiple and symbolized by a diamond.
In the Algorithm Builder indicator settings, they're identified with the Additional keyword.
4.3 How the convergences are calculated
Extremely important: The diamonds (or re-entries) are displayed, as long as a triangle (or main/primary signal) is displayed.
For a trend change (buy to sell or sell to buy), the system waits for ALL selected re-entries sub-indicators , to give a convergence/confluence in the opposite direction.
For example, let's assume a BUY/green convergence based on 3 indicators. One or Two of them going turning red, won't be enough for a trend change.
But, if all of them turn red, then we'll see a red triangle - signaling the beginning of a new downtrend.
4.4 Why multiple entries?
Here are a few use cases :
1. The main use case why we made those Multiple Trends indicators: A trader got invalidated or stopped out on a trade, but wants a system to let hin/her jump back in with a minimum of security. (security depending on the configuration of the Algorithm Builder as a whole).
This is very frustrating to get in a trade, being stopped out, and finally, see the trade going in the expected direction.
Even more frustrating to jump back in at the end of a trend, and get stopped out again - we all agree on this.
2. You want to add more positions on your main trade as your Algo Builder identified a solid trend - this is a nice way to possibly maximize your gains.
Once again, we don't/won't guarantee any performance result (not because we don't believe in our tools, but for legal reason), all depends on the time spent reading our documentation and playing with the Algo Builder - as explained on our Tutorials.
More info available on our website. URL available in this script signature and on my profile status.
V. Why the Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
5.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
5.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
5.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
5.4 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
5.5 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
5.6 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
5.7 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
5.8 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL MAIN triangles signals
- BUY/SELL SECONDARY diamond signals
- Trade Manager alerts (Stop Loss, Take Profit 1, Take Profit 2)
- Hard Exits
VI. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VII. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VIII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VIII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
IX. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave

The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
4.4 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
4.5 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
4.6 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
4.7 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
4.8 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL MAIN triangles signals
- BUY/SELL SECONDARY diamond signals
- Trade Manager alerts (Stop Loss, Take Profit 1, Take Profit 2)
- Hard Exits
V. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VI. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VIII. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Plug&Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ Plug&Play
2.1 Concept
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators, and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
The Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.
III. Plug & Play
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ Plug & Play (hence the plug and play name).
Let's assume you have your RSI divergence indicator - which is not part of the Algorithm Builder - but noticed that the convergence of an RSI divergence and a MACD gives strong signals.
I mentioned an RSI divergence, but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
Any indicator that displays visual signals are eligible for this feature .... in other words.... all possible indicators. You're welcome :)
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it in the convergence/confluence calculations.
Hence, whenever the MACD and RSI divergence will be in the same direction for the first time, you'll get a signal. For the first time only because this is a Single trend edition - you may enter multiple times using our Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends editions.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. Why the Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ (Plug&Play) may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
4.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
4.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
4.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
4.4 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.

- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.

MTF means Multi Timeframes - we all agree that saying MTF is nicer and easier than multi-timeframe.
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Multiple Timeframes/MTF) is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators, and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators - each may be using a different timeframe - are converging in the same direction.
Now sit tight because what's going to be announced will be awesome. Are you ready for it?... :)
The MTF version allows to detect the convergence for indicators in different timeframes. Each indicator has its own timeframe - expanding, even more, your trading analysis capabilities.
In other words, you could, for instance, detects the convergence of an H1 MACD with an H2 Supertrend, and why not also adding an m30 Moving Averages cross in the mix.
The Single Trend+ MTF gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.

Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VI. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+
2.1 Concept
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ was made to detect the convergence (also called confluence) of many unrelated indicators, giving a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
The Single Trend gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.
2.2 Why the Algorithm Builder Single Trend may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
2.3 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
2.3.1 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
2.3.2 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
2.3.3 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
2.3.5 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
2.3.6 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
2.3.7 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL triangles signals
- Trade Manager (SL, TP1, TP2)
- Hard Exits
III. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
IV. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
V. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VI. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VII. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.

Crypto FOMO Strategy (monthly-access)PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE PURCHASING & USING THE FOMO INDICATOR. Saves you and me some time in emails and messages. :)
This is the NEW MONTHLY ACCESS Version of the Crypto FOMO Strategy
Please check the links at the bottom of this post, so you find the way to our shop.
1 Month access is set at $25
10% Disount --> "FOMO25"
Any question, DM me here or on Twitter , check for link on the bottom.
The FOMO Buy Sell Indicator is a very specific strategy, cut down to its roots and made perfect for the volatile crypto market.
Many indicators focus only on one aspect, one side, one specific rule. As you know, this is not how life, the market or anything else works.
FOMO combines many different aspects at the same time, scans multiple other indicators and comes to a conclusion based on over 950 lines of code.
It is based on Divergences, Elliott Waves , Ichimoku , MACD , MACD Histogram, RSI , Stoch , CCI , Momentum, OBV, DIOSC, VWMACD, CMF and multiple EMAs.
Every single aspect is weighted into the decision before giving out an indication.
Most buy/sell indicators FAIL because they try to apply the same strategy to every single chart, which
are as individual as humans.
To conquer this problem, FOMO has a wide range of settings and variables which can be easily
modified.
To make it a true strategy, FOMO has as well settings for Take Profit Points, Multiple Entries and Stop Losses. Everything with an Alert Feature of course.
I know from experience that many people take one indicator and are simply too LAZY to add multiple indicators to make a rational choice.
The result of that is that they lose money, by following blatantly only one indicator.
FOMO has additional 7 indicators, perfect for the crypto market, which can be turned on and off.
FOMO Signals Settings
“Show Signals?” - On/Off to show the Buy/Sell Signals. “Aggressiveness” - Increase to make the signals less aggressive
and decrease to make them more aggressive.
“Show Custom FOMO Timeframe?” - On/Off to show FOMO Signals of a different timeframe in addition to the normal ones.
“Custom FOMO Timeframe?” - Choose the timeframe for the custom FOMO signals.
“Use Safe FOMO?” - On/Off to show only “safe” (less but more exact) FOMO signals.
“Safe FOMO Sells” - Settings for the “safe” FOMO Sell Signals. Decrease number for “less safe” Signals.
Increase number for “more safe” Signals.
“Safe FOMO Buys” - Settings for the “safe” FOMO Buy Signals. Decrease number for “more safe” Signals.
Increase number for “less safe” Signals.
FOMO Strategy Settings
“Take Profit 1 ” - On/Off to show TP1 points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is
active.
“Take Profit 2 ” - On/Off to show TP2 points.
“Take Profit 2 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP2 is active.
“Take Profit 3 ” - On/Off to show TP3 points.
“Take Profit 3 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP3 is
active.
“Second Entry” - On/Off to show Second Entry points.
“Second Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Second Entry is active.
“Third Entry ” - On/Off to Third Entry points.
“Third Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Third
Entry is active.
“Stop Loss ” - On/Off to show Stop Loss points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which Stop Loss is active.
The FOMO Lifeguard is a special feature made to cancel out the “noice” of the signals and show only signals with a great technical significance.
For this FOMO uses the default settings of +7 and - 7. This references to an index value of multiple settings of almost all indicators used in this script.
+7 cuts out all sell signals below the index value of 7.
- 7 cuts out all buy signals above the index value of - 7.
Using the FOMO Lifeguard is a key element for a sustainable and profitable strategy.
As the normal FOMO Signals, the Lifeguard Signals are also bound to the “Aggressiveness”. Should the cut out of signals with the Lifeguard on be too big, try adjusting the “Aggressiveness”.
With this, once can choose and make this indicator PERFECT for his own strategy and trading style. Day Traders would use no “Lifeguard” and aggressive signals.
Swing Traders would use “Lifeguard” and aggressive signals.
To make the life of the FOMO user even easier, I have added all adjustable Take Profit Points, Multiple entry points and Stop Loss points.
Simply choose how many Take Profit points you would like to have and choose the percentage after which you would like to see the Take Profit point appear on the chart and notify you to take profits.
Are you a Trader who likes multiple entries? Also no problem with FOMO. Select how many additional entries you would like to have and after how many percent you would like them to appear on the chart and remind you of adding to the position.
What would a Strategy be without a Stop Loss? Same settings apply here as on the TPs and MEs .
Crypto Modified Indicators
“Show Divergences?” - On/Off to show Divergences on the Chart based on the data of 10 different indicators.
“Show Custom Divergences?” - On/Off to show Divergences on the chart of a custom timeframe.
“Custom Divergence Timeframe?” - Choose the Timeframe for which the Custom Divergences should appear on the chart.
“Show Oversold/bought?” - On/Off to change the colour of the chart in Oversold/bought conditions.
“Oversold/bought value?” - Choose a value for which the chart is Oversold/bought.
“Show Fibonacci Levels?” - On/Off to show automatic Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Lookback Lenght” - This value states how many candles from right now are taken into account to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Lookback Lenght” - Choose a custom Timeframe that should be used to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
Crypto Modified Indicators 2
“Show EMAs?” - On/Off to show three EMAs on the chart, after the example of @Teddycleps
“EMA Lenght 1” - Choose a value for the first EMA Lenght
“EMA Lenght 2 ” - Choose a value for the second EMA Lenght.
“EMA Lenght 3” - Choose a value for the third EMA Lenght.
The area between the first and third EMA is filled. Is EMA1 above 21, it’s filled green. Is it below, it’s filled red.
“Show Ichimoku? ” - On/Off to show Ichimoku on the chart.
“Show Tenkin?” - On/Off to show Tenkin on the chart.
“Tenkin” - Set the lenght of the Tenkin.
“Show Kijun?” - On/Off to show Kijun on the chart.
“Kijun” - Set the lenght of the Kijun.
“Show Senkou?” - On/Off to show the Senkou on the chart. “Senkou” - Set the lenght of the Senkou.
“Displacement” - Set the value of the Displacement.
“Show ZIG ZAG Lines?” - On/Off to show ZigZag Lines on the chart, used to identify short-term trends and EW counts.
“ZZ Lenght 1” - Set the first lenght of the ZigZag Lines.
“ZZ Lenght 2” - Set the second lenght of the ZigZag Lines.
FOMO without any doubt has Custom Alerts for all Signals that it is painting on the chart. This goes for the “Normal Signals” as well as for the “Lifeguard Signals”.
One can even choose to receive custom notifications for Take Profit points, Multiple Entry points and the Stop Loss points.
The signals appear on the chart DURING the candle, not at the end of the candle. Therefore, the alerts do this as well. These appear during the candle.
Here we can see all of the possible Alerts that can be chosen to be displayed. In total it is 30 different custom alerts, based on what the trader is looking for and how he is trading.
Personally, I have 10-15 coins that I trade the most and for these I have custom notifications, mostly though only the SAFE FOMO Buy and Sell Signals.
To activate Alerts for FOMO
1) Go to the “ALERT” icon on the top tool bar of your Tradingview.
2) Select “CONDITION” as “—Crypto FOMO Strategy—“
3) Then choose ONE condition from the list of conditions.
4) On “OPTIONS” you can set how many times it appears, I have “Once per Bar”.
4.1) If you want to make sure that the signal is truly there and not just a condition for a second during the candle, choose “ONCE PER BAR CLOSE”.
5) “Expiration Time” sets the time until the alert expires. PRO users have no expiration for alerts.
6) “Alert Actions” give you a row of choices what happens and how you want to be notified.
7) “Message” is the message that you receive inside the notification.
AFTERWORD/DISCLAIMER
FOMO has been created after my goal to #MakeCryptoProfessionalAgain. Every aspect of it has its own and very specific use, which traders have shown to find useful in their trading.
This Indicator is meant to help new and experienced traders to understand the various aspects of this market and access all of the most important and most commonly used tools, with JUST ONE CLICK.
FOMO should be used responsibly and treated as an indicator. Signals, scripts, algorithms can NEVER be 100% exact. It is up to the trader to make a well thought and educated decision, wether to follow a signal or not. Our brains are way more advanced than any indicator and algorithm.
I advise especially for this reason to have not just the signals turned on. Please do not use the SAME settings for each chart. Look which Aggressiveness and Lifeguard Settings fit your chart the most, you will be amazed how well some charts work with FOMO.
FOMO should NOT make you FOMO into a trade anymore. It should teach you to make more educated decisions and especially for margin trading reduce the risk of liquidation.
Should you have problems with being liquidated multiple times, I advise to use the “STOP LOSS” function.
Most importantly, enjoy the indicator and trading in general.
PD Crypto Performer PRO (Alert)Description:
This indicator includes two strategies for crypto assets, a trend-identifying swing strategy and a low risk scalping strategy. For decision making, the Performer strategy mainly uses smoothed Simple Moving Averages (SMA) and divergences in Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and histogram. A leading indicator (eg. BTCUSD for crypto) is also used for more accurate and timely market identification.
To assist the decision-making process, the code currently references BTCUSD. As a result, it is only suitable for crypto traders. However, we are working on the stock and forex versions, and the Performer will have these compatibilities soon.
Most importantly, our signals DO NOT REPAINT !
Recommended Use:
- Time Frame: 1HR
- Asset: Large cap crypto assets.
For lower risk tolerance, we recommend using the indicator on ETHUSD. For maximizing profits, we recommend using the indicator on BCHUSD.
- Always set stop loss according to your own risk tolerance
- Take profits along the way. Check out this video tutorial for when to reenter after our take profit signals.
Recommended Use for Advanced Traders:
- Position sizing:
Larger position if the 1HR signal is in the same direction compared to the 4HR trend.
Smaller position if the 1HR signal is in the opposite direction compared to the 4HR trend.
- Better entry/exit points:
Track the 1HR signal for the asset you are trading on other exchanges along with the BTCUSD 1HR signal. Sometimes, the signals from different exchanges occur with a 1-2 hour difference. You could use these earlier signals along with a lower time frame (eg. 15min) entry confirmation from your own exchange for better entry / exit points.
- Use “Take Profit” signals for counter trend scalps. Recover at the reentering opportunities . This works best with candlestick pattern confirmations.
Never use this if you suspect a flag / inverted flag pattern is forming.

[HTI] Hiubris Trend Indicator 1.4Hiubris Trend Indicator is super easy to use.
The Indicator includes Long and Short signals on chart, based on the current Trend direction - These signals can be also set up as Alerts.
It also includes multiple partial Exit Points (Take Profits) that can be used to lock in the profit you have made - These signals can be also set up as Alerts.
The Take Profits have a custom input that can be adjusted by the user regarding the frequency of the take profits - (The risk involved in each trade)
The indicator has a special Stop Loss feature that activates after a certain custom number of Take Profit points passed, locking down your profits you have made so far - These signals can be also set up as Alerts.
Hiubris Trend Indicator is very profitable on higher timeframes (45min, 2h, 4h) - It can also be used on lower timeframes, together with another HigherTimeframe Trend indicator, acting as a filter for the alerts (Ex: Hiubris Long Term Trend)
ALPHA: ReversalWhat is a divergence?
In the case of strength and momentum indicators, it is when the price deviates from the movement of the oscillator, it can have significant implications for trade management.
Divergences in an uptrend occurs when the price makes a higher high but the indicator does not. In a downtrend, divergence occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the indicator does not. When a divergence is spotted, there is a higher probability of a price reversal.
Divergences helps the trader recognize and react appropriately to a change in price action. It tells us something is changing and the trader must make a decision, such as tighten the stop-loss or take profit. Seeing divergences increases profitability by alerting the trader to protect profits or open a position.
Divergences indicate that something is changing, but it does not automatically mean the trend will reverse. It signals the trader must consider holding, tightening the stop loss, opening a position or take profit.
Introduction
The Alpha: Reversal is an indicator based off of the Stochastic, Relative Strength Index and Momentum indicator. Its sole purpose is to be able to identify divergences when they matter and identify high probability reversal areas. The formula used between the three indicators will be kept proprietary, in addition to the slight changes made on the Stochastic formula. The indicator plots the histogram with a divergence formula within a 14 period look-back on default. Additionally, there is a moving average of the histograms movement to identify the divergences when they matter.
Divergences exist on just about every candle, most of the time they are at a minuscule level. Rarely do the price and oscillator movement collude, the question becomes when do these divergences matter?
With that in mind I approached the task of finding a reliable reversal model. On default, the indicator has a moving average that measures the past histogram (the formula of the three indicators) movement to identify when a high potential trend shift may happen.
Keeping volatility in mind there is a feature called "Fixed Threshold" in settings. Various assets move at different speeds, so the indicator needs the ability to adjust to fit the assets speed. This "Threshold" option does not have a set of rules to use for each asset, the option is there though, so it may be adjusted by the analyst manually if the histogram moving average seems inaccurate due to volatility or lack thereof. In future publications (or possibly indicator updates) I plan on expanding on a fixed set of rules for various assets. This will take considerable time to research and backtest the various values needed for an asset's speed, so for now the default MA can be used until you are comfortable with adjusting the threshold level manually.
The look-back period on the histogram and threshold MA can be adjusted to whichever time period you would like. However, the default 14 is typically what is best considering the inputs of the three underlying indicators.
Analysis
The indicator is actually quite simple to read. When the price spikes blue, there is a high probability of reversal, same goes for red but in the opposite fashion. Now as always, you should use this indicator as an analysis tool and not rely on it by itself. Many times Cryptocurrencies couldn't care less about strength or oversold/overbought and volume explodes out of nowhere, I highly recommend you use price action in addition to Alpha: Exhaustion and Alpha: Volume with this tool. Oh wait, Alpha: Volume is not out yet.... SOON. :)
Point is, use proper analysis techniques with this indicator, nothing is perfect. NOTHING. But the Alpha: Reversal is a great tool to use for not only the beginner trader, but the advanced also. There is a ton of ways to use this indicator beyond the high probability reversal areas, I am discovering some really neat patterns within my new formula that I plan on expanding on in future publications, i.e. dead cat bounces and relief candles plus a few more.
Conclusion
The Alpha: Reversal is a great analysis tool that I now use on all my charts, as time goes on I plan on holding classes for its users on a regular basis to expand on the various techniques that can be implemented in addition to publishing research relevant to its purpose.
Access to the indicator can be purchased on my site www.thetradingwizard.com with either a monthly option for this & the Alpha: Exhaustion (), or a lifetime subscription independently. All updates and changes will be done automatically and included for every user. The Alpha series is designed to help you make your analysis easier to comprehend and more accurate, I really think this one will be enjoyed by many for years to come, I have enjoyed designing and using this immensely. As always, please make your own decisions when trading and use proper analysis techniques.
Note: The options within the Alpha: Reversal allow the indicator to be used on any timeframe & any asset. As with any indicator, the higher the timeframe, the higher the accuracy.

Bold PlotA remarkable algorithm creates entry, re-entry, take profit, safety exit signals. Nothing to set. There is only config code.All signals are being created when new candle opens. Ergo, never repaints. This also helps alarms to be set directly as "once per bar".
Now only for XBTUSD - Bitmex - 2h
Entries: When the algorithm creates an initial entry signal, it also follows the recent trend.
Re-Entries: If the algorithm senses a retracement or correction however the price movement within recent trend, the script creates re-entry signal.
Take Profit: Apart from the main entry algorithm, completely different algorithm has been developed for take profit signals. Expect maximum of 3 take profit signals after each initial entry and re-entries. Maximum of 3 TP signals aim to reach best profit levels rather than contingency.
Safety Exit Signals: Another individual algorithm apart from both entries and take profit signals. If the algorithm senses that the price movement might be in danger opposite to recent position, it creates safety exit signal for only once. This type of signals can also be considered as contingency signals. They can either be a take profit or stop loss. Be aware! This type of signals do not focus on exiting the position completely. They have designed to exit the position 60%-80% and re-enter if the the algorithm creates re-entry signals. There might be take profit signals following the safety exit signals as this situation does not affect take profits.

Greed Indicator | BennuQuantsGreed indicator. Applicable to traders who have issues taking profit at set targets.
This indicator has three inputs. Your entry, your profit target, and a margin % (if you are a degen). Given you entry price, you can see where (marked in gold) that you were in profit but didn't take profit. This is good feedback for psychological indicators which I think will be my next focus. Reasoning behind this was the many conversations that my old trading partner and I would have issues where we held positions for too long and they would reverse us out of profit. This should eliminate such behaviors or at least help to correct them.
I don't expect this to be that interesting to most, but its something. Will be publishing the script shortly
Green indicates proft, yellow marks greed periods, and red marks negative periods. Also an easy way to track a trades current profitability.
Pulsar Heatmap CVD/OBV [by Oberlunar]Pulsar Heatmap CVD/OBV by Oberlunar is a non-repainting order-flow-like indicator designed to support fast, practical decisions—especially for day trading and scalping. It blends OBV and CVD into a structured heatmap with three lanes (OBV, CVD, and a blended COMBO) and splits each lane into two halves: flow pressure and price reaction (PriceΔ) . All values are normalised into the same range, so the intensity of each component is easy to compare at a glance.
In a simple sense, Pulsar Heatmap aims to provide a clean, integrated order-flow view: one framework that turns well-known volume concepts into a clearer read of market pressure and response. Personally, it feels like the kind of tool I would have always wanted on my chart, because it brings familiar information together into a more organic picture that is easier to use in real time.
Visually, the indicator is built around three main elements: the heatmap lanes , a pulsing triangle HUD , and a timed dashboard table . Under the hood, it follows a clear hierarchy: a Bias layer (directional context with a confidence percentage), a strict Signal layer (triggered only when full alignment occurs, with optional confirmation and stickiness), and optional timing logic based on ROC + Acceleration to validate impulses and highlight potential Exhaustion or Absorption regimes. With the option "Safe Mode" enabled, calculations update only on confirmed bars, so signals remain stable and do not repaint.
Optionally, the script can also print signal arrows/labels on the main chart only when a real Signal triggers (not when you only have Bias). To keep the chart clean, the same-direction label is not repeated unless the next signal appears at a more advantageous price than the previous one (for shorts: a higher price; for longs: a lower price). If the direction flips (SHORT → LONG or LONG → SHORT), label printing is re-enabled immediately.
What makes Pulsar Heatmap feel different is that it doesn’t leave you with two separate lines and a lot of guesswork. It organises the information into a readable decision map: pressure , response , agreement , disagreement , impulse , and timing . It was built with scalping in mind, but it’s not limited to scalping: the structure is useful whenever you want context first, and a strict trigger only when alignment is truly present.
Clean Trend Alignment (Ideal Continuation)
A “best case” scenario where flow and price response agree across lanes, so the system produces a high-confidence direction and a clean trigger. Show the heatmap with consistent colouring, the Bias band strong, and a confirmed signal/bias.
Setup 1 — Long Signal (Clean Alignment + Impulse)
In this example, Pulsar Heatmap transitions into a clear long setup when the system prints a LONG SIGNAL . The key idea is simple: the indicator does not enter on “bias” alone. It waits for full alignment across the internal lanes, optionally reinforced by the ROC/Acceleration impulse layer, and only then does it confirm a signal on a closed bar (Safe Mode).
What to highlight on the screenshot
The LONG SIGNAL label: this is the only moment the setup is considered “triggered”.
The LONG BIAS % label: this is context (direction + confidence), not the trigger.
The Triangle HUD : it visually summarises which component is driving the move (OBV/CVD/COMBO weight).
The Timed Table : show that Exhaustion is OFF while impulse metrics are supportive ( dynROC U and dynACC U positive).
If present, the Absorption state (e.g., ABS_LONG + “tight range”): it often appears during compression before expansion, and it adds context to why the breakout can accelerate.
How to read this long setup
Context : Bias is long (even if the % is not huge yet), and the system is not showing exhaustion.
Trigger : A LONG SIGNAL appears only after full alignment (with confirmation bars). If dynamic gating is enabled, the signal is valid only when the impulse agrees.
Quality checks : Positive dynROC and dynACC support the timing; absence of exhaustion reduces the risk of “late entry”. Absorption/tight range can indicate a “pressure build-up” phase.
Practical scalping execution (simple rule set)
Entry timing: consider the entry only on (or immediately after) the confirmed LONG SIGNAL candle.
Risk idea: invalidate the setup if the signal flips, or if price falls back into the compression/range that preceded the move (common absorption-breakout logic).
Exit clue: if Exhaustion turns ON or impulse weakens (acceleration flips), treat it as a warning to reduce exposure or take profit.
Setup 2 — Short Signal After Compression (Absorption → Release)
In this screenshot the short trade idea is not coming from “red candles” alone, but from a very specific sequence: the heatmap shows a shift into bearish alignment, the system prints a SHORT SIGNAL , and the timed module confirms that the market was in a tight range while sell pressure started to dominate.
What this image is really showing
You have a SHORT SIGNAL label on the chart: this is the trigger moment (not the bias).
The context reads SHORT BIAS 18% : it’s supportive, but the execution decision is driven by the signal.
The table shows Absorption = SHORT with a tight range (Range % is low): this often means price was compressed while one side kept applying pressure.
dyn metrics are negative ( dynROC U < 0 and dynACC U < 0): the impulse is coherent with the short direction, so the move is not just “random drift.”
How to read the heatmap here
Earlier, the lanes are mixed (more “two-sided”), then near the signal, the heatmap becomes decisively bearish. That change matters: it tells you the market stopped being balanced and started leaning in one direction with better internal coherence.
Why is this short “high quality” in scalping terms
Compression first : absorption/tight range means the market was storing energy.
Alignment next : the signal appears when the internal lanes agree.
Impulse last : negative ROC + negative acceleration support a real downside push, reducing the odds of a weak, slow fade.
Simple ensure-you-don’t-overtrade rule
Treat the SHORT SIGNAL as the only “go” moment. If you only see bias without signal, or the heatmap stays mixed/disagreeing, it’s usually a lower-quality scalp environment.
Disagreement Zone (Mixed Votes, Higher Risk) — A Practical Exit Area
In this screenshot, Pulsar Heatmap is clearly warning that the market is no longer “one-sided”. You can still see a directional context ( SHORT BIAS 11% ), but the key message is the DISAGREE tag: the reminder that the internal votes are split and the flow/price components are no longer moving in a clean, coherent way.
What this means in a trend continuation is very practical: a Disagreement Zone is often a good EXIT area . When you are already in a short trend, this is the moment where continuation becomes less reliable and where the market can start rotating, stalling, or snapping back.
Why it works as an exit trigger
In a healthy continuation, the lanes tend to stay aligned. Here they don’t: one or more halves contradict the dominant direction.
That loss of coherence typically shows up before the chart becomes obvious, so it can act as an early warning.
For scalping, this is where risk/reward often deteriorates: spreads, noise, and whipsaws increase exactly when the indicator starts disagreeing.
How to use it in a simple way
If you are already short , treat DISAGREE as a signal to take profit, tighten the stop, or scale out .
Avoid adding to the position inside disagreement: even if bias remains short, the internal structure is not “clean” enough to justify aggressive continuation entries.
If later the heatmap returns to full alignment and a new SHORT SIGNAL appears (ideally at a better price), then the continuation becomes actionable again.
“DISAGREE during a short continuation: coherence breaks down. In practice, this is often an exit/scale-out zone, not a fresh entry zone.”
Setup 3 — Neutral State (Stand-By Zone, No Trade Yet)
In the following screenshot, Pulsar Heatmap is doing something very important: it is clearly saying NEUTRAL 0% . Even if, visually, price could “look” like it might resume upward, the indicator is not providing a directional edge yet. This is a classic stand-by condition: the market is transitioning, and the internal components are not aligned enough to justify a directional scalp.
“Neutral 0%: mixed votes and no dominant driver. Even if the price looks promising, Pulsar stays in stand-by until bias rebuilds and a confirmed signal appears.”
What to highlight on the screenshot
The centre label NEUTRAL 0% : this is the key message—no bias strength worth following.
The heatmap is mixed/transitioning: lanes are not consistently one colour, meaning votes are not coherent.
The triangle HUD sits close to the centre: it visually reflects “no dominant driver” right now.
The table can still show background context (e.g., Absorption with a tight range), but that does not override neutrality: it’s information, not a trigger.
How to interpret “Neutral” in practice
When the indicator is neutral, it means the system sees a balance between pressure and reaction (or conflicting components), so direction is statistically less reliable. In scalping terms, this is usually where spreads and noise can eat you alive if you force entries.
Why this is still useful (even without a trade)
Neutral is not “nothing”—it is a filter. It prevents you from trading when the signal quality is low, and it forces the workflow to be clean: wait for Bias to build, then wait for a confirmed Signal , and only then treat it as a real setup.
What you wait for next
If the market turns bullish again, you want to see heatmap alignment returning and eventually a confirmed LONG SIGNAL —however, in the following examples, the heatmap does not follow the trade completely (unlike the previous generated long signal). Thus, a long entry is very risky.
If the market rolls over, you want the opposite: bearish alignment and a confirmed SHORT SIGNAL . Until one of these happens, Neutral = stand-by .
Setup 4 — Impulse + Exhaustion (Late-Stage Move, Don’t Chase)
In this screenshot, you’re basically seeing a “timing warning” configuration. Price prints a sharp bearish extension, but Pulsar Heatmap is not presenting it as a clean continuation setup: the center read is NEUTRAL 0% , while the timed engine shows both Absorption = SHORT and Exhaustion = SHORT . That combination often means: the downside pressure was real, but the move is already in a late/fragile phase (good for managing an existing short, not for opening a new one).
How to read it (practical scalping logic)
Absorption SHORT = there was compression/tight action with persistent bearish pressure building under the surface.
Exhaustion SHORT = the impulse is “spent” or destabilising (acceleration signature is no longer healthy for continuation entries).
Neutral 0% on the main HUD = the system is not granting directional confidence anymore, even if the last candles look aggressive.
Translation: if you were already short, this zone is often for taking profit / tightening risk . If you are not in, it’s usually a wait-for-reset moment.
Possible mean reversions in yellow
Those yellow tiles are the indicator’s “caution prints” (the same colour family used to express DISAGREE ). They appear when the internal structure becomes mixed —i.e., some halves/lanes are not supporting the dominant direction cleanly (or a divergence-style conflict is detected). In practice, they often mark the transition from clean pressure to noisy/late pressure , which is exactly where chasing entries tends to be punished.
How to use them
In a trend continuation, yellow tiles are a strong hint to stop adding and to manage risk more defensively (or treat the phase as “risky trend reversion”).
When they show up near an extension candle (like here), they often signal that the move is shifting into a less stable regime—better for protecting profits than for initiating new entries.
Stepping back for a moment, OBV (On-Balance Volume) and CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) are both classic tools for studying volume flow, but they differ in what they measure. OBV tracks cumulative volume using price direction: it adds volume on up closes and subtracts it on down closes. CVD tracks the net difference between buying and selling pressure, aiming to reflect the effective push from buyers versus sellers. Both describe the "force behind price" , but from different angles.
OBV is the more traditional approach. It increases when the market closes higher and decreases when it closes lower, so it often works well as a trend-support and divergence tool: if price rises while OBV falls, that mismatch can suggest weakness beneath the move. Because it relies on the close-to-close direction, OBV naturally aligns with trend confirmation across bars.
CVD , instead, is about the ongoing battle between buyers and sellers. Conceptually, it accumulates the net delta between aggressive buying and aggressive selling over time. Positive values tend to indicate stronger buying pressure; negative values indicate stronger selling pressure. Its focus is the tug-of-war itself—who is pushing, rather than simply whether the bar ended up closing up or down.
The practical differences are straightforward. OBV uses the closing direction to assign the full volume, so it tends to be more connected to the overall trend structure. CVD is usually more sensitive to shifts in pressure and can react faster when the market changes character. OBV is commonly used to confirm trends and highlight divergences; CVD is commonly used to spot early pressure changes and moments where one side starts to dominate.
This is also why combining them inside one normalised framework can be so effective. You are not relying on a single volume interpretation. You are pairing a trend-confirmation view (OBV) with a pressure-sensitive view (CVD), and you are making them comparable in a shared scale so agreement and divergence become immediately visible. When they agree, conviction is clearer. When they diverge, you often see important information—hesitation, absorption, or pressure that the price is not fully accepting.

BOS Indicator (Anchored, TP1-TP3, MTF>=4, Multi-Entry)BOS Indicator (Anchored, TP1–TP3, MTF≥4, Multi-Entry)
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability Break of Structure (BOS) trade setups using a combination of market structure, EMA bias, and multi-timeframe direction confirmation. It is intended for discretionary traders who want clear structure-based entries with predefined risk and profit targets.
🔹 Core Logic
Uses a long-term EMA to define bullish or bearish market bias
Tracks market structure using swing pivots to identify valid BOS events
A trade is only signaled after:
Price is on the correct side of the EMA
A valid pullback has formed
Structure is broken in the direction of the trend
Optional multi-timeframe confirmation ensures alignment across higher timeframes before signaling a trade
🔹 Trade Visualization
When a valid BOS setup occurs, the indicator automatically draws:
Entry level
Stop loss zone
Profit target zone
Three Take Profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Risk and reward boxes anchored to the signal candle
🔹 Take Profit & Trade Management (Important)
This script is designed to be used with partial profit-taking:
TP1
Take 50% of the position off
Locks in early profits and reduces risk
TP2
Take 25% more off the position
At this point, it is recommended to move the stop loss slightly into profit (or near TP1) to protect the trade and eliminate downside risk
TP3
Let the remaining 25% run toward the final target
This allows traders to benefit from extended moves while already being protected
This approach balances risk control, consistency, and the ability to capture larger trend moves.
🔹 Additional Features
Supports multi-entry trends after exits
Works across all markets and timeframes
Visual MTF direction panel for quick confirmation
Designed to avoid false signals caused by minor consolidations
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a decision-support tool only and does not guarantee profits. Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with your own analysis.
