Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS: Adaptive Quant, Real Regime Power
Let’s be honest: Most published strategies on TradingView look nearly identical—copy-paste “open-source quant,” generic “adaptive” buzzwords, the same shallow explanations. I’ve even fallen into this trap with my own previously posted strategies. Not this time.
What Makes This Unique
GENESIS is not a black-box mashup or a pre-built template. It’s the culmination of DAFE’s own adaptive, multi-factor, regime-aware quant engine—built to outperform, survive, and visualize live edge in anything from NQ/MNQ to stocks and crypto.
True multi-factor core: Volume/price imbalances, trend shifts, volatility compression/expansion, and RSI all interlock for signal creation.
Adaptive regime logic: Trades only in healthy, actionable conditions—no “one-size-fits-all” signals.
Momentum normalization: Uses rolling, percentile-based fast/slow EMA differentials, ALWAYS normalized, ALWAYS relevant—no “is it working?” ambiguity.
Position sizing that adapts: Not fixed-lot, not naive—not a loophole for revenge trading.
No hidden DCA or pyramiding—what you see is what you trade.
Dashboard and visual system: Directly connected to internal logic. If it’s shown, it’s used—and nothing cosmetic is presented on your chart that isn’t quantifiable.
📊 Inputs and What They Mean (Read Carefully)
Maximum Raw Score: How many distinct factors can contribute to regime/trade confidence (default 4). If you extend the quant logic, increase this.
RSI Length / Min RSI for Shorts / Max RSI for Longs: Fine-tunes how “overbought/oversold” matters; increase the length for smoother swings, tighten floors/ceilings for more extreme signals.
⚡ Regime & Momentum Gates
Min Normed Momentum/Score (Conf): Raise to demand only the strongest trends—your filter to avoid algorithmic chop.
🕒 Volatility & Session
ATR Lookback, ATR Low/High Percentile: These control your system’s awareness of when the market is dead or ultra-volatile. All sizing and filter logic adapts in real time.
Trading Session (hours): Easy filter for when entries are allowed; default is regular trading hours—no surprise overnight fills.
📊 Sizing & Risk
Max Dollar Risk / Base-Max Contracts: All sizing is adaptive, based on live regime and volatility state—never static or “just 1 contract.” Control your max exposures and real $ risk. ATR will effect losses in high volatility times.
🔄 Exits & Scaling
Stop/Trail/Scale multipliers: You choose how dynamic/flexible risk controls and profit-taking need to be. ATR-based, so everything auto-adjusts to the current market mode.
Visuals That Actually Matter
Dashboard (Top Right): Shows only live, relevant stats: scoring, status, position size, win %, win streak, total wins—all from actual trade engine state (not “simulated”).
Watermark (Bottom Right): Momentum bar visual is always-on, regime-aware, reflecting live regime confidence and momentum normalization. If the bar is empty, you’re truly in no-momentum. If it glows lime, you’re riding the strongest possible edge.
*No cosmetics, no hidden code distractions.
Backtest Settings
Initial capital: $10,000
Commission: Conservative, realistic roundtrip cost:
15–20 per contract (including slippage per side) I set this to $25
Slippage: 3 ticks per trade
Symbol: CME_MINI:NQ1!
Timeframe: 1 min (but works on all timeframes)
Order size: Adaptive, 1–3 contracts
No pyramiding, no hidden DCA
Why these settings?
These settings are intentionally strict and realistic, reflecting the true costs and risks of live trading. The 10,000 account size is accessible for most retail traders. 25/contract including 3 ticks of slippage are on the high side for NQ, ensuring the strategy is not curve-fit to perfect fills. If it works here, it will work in real conditions.
Why It Wins
While others put out “AI-powered” strategies with little logic or soul, GENESIS is ruthlessly practical. It is built around what keeps traders alive:
- Context-aware signals, not just patterns
- Tight, transparent risk
- Inputs that adapt, not confuse
- Visuals that clarify, not distract
- Code that runs clean, efficient, and with minimal overfitting risk (try it on QQQ, AMD, SOL, etc. out of the box)
Disclaimer (for TradingView compliance):
Trading is risky. Futures, stocks, and crypto can result in significant losses. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. This is for educational and informational purposes only. Use in simulation/backtest mode before live trading. No past performance is indicative of future results. Always understand your risk and ownership of your trades.
This will not be my last—my goal is to keep raising the bar until DAFE is a brand or I’m forced to take this private.
Use with discipline, use with clarity, and always trade smarter.

REVELATIONS (VoVix - PoC) REVELATIONS (VoVix - POC): True Regime Detection Before the Move
Let’s not sugarcoat it: Most strategies on TradingView are recycled—RSI, MACD, OBV, CCI, Stochastics. They all lag. No matter how many overlays you stack, every one of these “standard” indicators fires after the move is underway. The retail crowd almost always gets in late. That’s never been enough for my team, for DAFE, or for anyone who’s traded enough to know the real edge vanishes by the time the masses react.
How is this different?
REVELATIONS (VoVix - POC) was engineered from raw principle, structured to detect pre-move regime change—before standard technicals even light up. We built, tested, and refined VoVix to answer one hard question:
What if you could see the spike before the trend?
Here’s what sets this system apart, line-by-line:
o True volatility-of-volatility mathematics: It’s not just "ATR of ATR" or noise smoothing. VoVix uses normalized, multi-timeframe v-vol spikes, instantly detecting orderbook stress and "outlier" market events—before the chart shows them as trends.
o Purist regime clustering: Every trade is enabled only during coordinated, multi-filter regime stress. No more signals in meaningless chop.
o Nonlinear entry logic: No trade is ever sent just for a “good enough” condition. Every entry fires only if every requirement is aligned—local extremes, super-spike threshold, regime index, higher timeframe, all must trigger in sync.
o Adaptive position size: Your contracts scale up with event strength. Tiny size during nominal moves, max leverage during true regime breaks—never guesswork, never static exposure.
o All exits governed by regime decay logic: Trades are closed not just on price targets but at the precise moment the market regime exhausts—the hardest part of systemic trading, now solved.
How this destroys the lag:
Standard indicators (RSI, MACD, OBV, CCI, and even most “momentum” overlays) simply tell you what already happened. VoVix triggers as price structure transitions—anyone running these generic scripts will trade behind the move while VoVix gets in as stress emerges. Real alpha comes from anticipation, not confirmation.
The visuals only show what matters:
Top right, you get a live, live quant dashboard—regime index, current position size, real-time performance (Sharpe, Sortino, win rate, and wins). Bottom right: a VoVix "engine bar" that adapts live with regime stress. Everything you see is a direct function of logic driving this edge—no cosmetics, no fake momentum.
Inputs/Signals—explained carefully for clarity:
o ATR Fast Length & ATR Slow Length:
These are the heart of VoVix’s regime sensing. Fast ATR reacts to sharp volatility; Slow ATR is stability baseline. Lower Fast = reacts to every twitch; higher Slow = requires more persistent, “real” regime shifts.
Tip: If you want more signals or faster markets, lower ATR Fast. To eliminate noise, raise ATR Slow.
o ATR StdDev Window: Smoothing for volatility-of-volatility normalization. Lower = more jumpy, higher = only the cleanest spikes trigger.
Tip: Shorten for “jumpy” assets, raise for indices/futures.
o Base Spike Threshold: Think of this as your “minimum event strength.” If the current move isn’t volatile enough (normalized), no signal.
Tip: Higher = only biggest moves matter. Lower for more signals but more potential noise.
o Super Spike Multiplier: The “are you sure?” test—entry only when the current spike is this multiple above local average.
Tip: Raise for ultra-selective/swing-trading; lower for more active style.
Regime & MultiTF:
o Regime Window (Bars):
How many bars to scan for regime cluster “events.” Short for turbo markets, long for big swings/trends only.
o Regime Event Count: Only trade when this many spikes occur within the Regime Window—filters for real stress, not isolated ticks.
Tip: Raise to only ever trade during true breakouts/crashes.
o Local Window for Extremes:
How many bars to check that a spike is a local max.
Tip: Raise to demand only true, “clearest” local regime events; lower for early triggers.
o HTF Confirm:
Higher timeframe regime confirmation (like 45m on an intraday chart). Ensures any event you act on is visible in the broader context.
Tip: Use higher timeframes for only major moves; lower for scalping or fast regimes.
Adaptive Sizing:
o Max Contracts (Adaptive): The largest size your system will ever scale to, even on extreme event.
Tip: Lower for small accounts/conservative risk; raise on big accounts or when you're willing to go big only on outlier events.
o Min Contracts (Adaptive): The “toe-in-the-water.” Smallest possible trade.
Tip: Set as low as your broker/exchange allows for safety, or higher if you want to always have meaningful skin in the game.
Trade Management:
o Stop %: Tightness of your stop-loss relative to entry. Lower for tighter/safer, higher for more breathing room at cost of greater drawdown.
o Take Profit %: How much you'll hold out for on a win. Lower = more scalps. Higher = only run with the best.
o Decay Exit Sensitivity Buffer: Regime index must dip this far below the trading threshold before you exit for “regime decay.”
Tip: 0 = exit as soon as stress fails, higher = exits only on stronger confirmation regime is over.
o Bars Decay Must Persist to Exit: How long must decay be present before system closes—set higher to avoid quick fades and whipsaws.

Tip: Set to 1 for instant regime exit; raise for extra confirmation (less whipsaw risk, exits held longer).
________________________________________
Bottom line: Tune the sensitivity, selectivity, and risk of REVELATIONS by these inputs. Raise thresholds and windows for only the best, most powerful signals (institutional style); lower for activity (scalpers, fast cryptos, signals in constant motion). Sizing is always adaptive—never static or martingale. Exits are always based on both price and regime health. Every input is there for your control, not to sell “complexity.” Use with discipline, and make it your own.
This strategy is not just a technical achievement: It’s a statement about trading smarter, not just more.
* I went back through the code to make sure no the strategy would not suffer from repainting, forward looking, or any frowned upon loopholes.
Disclaimer:
Trading is risky and carries the risk of substantial loss. Do not use funds you aren’t prepared to lose. This is for research and informational purposes only, not financial advice. Backtest, paper trade, and know your risk before going live. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Expect more: We’ll keep pushing the standard, keep evolving the bar until “quant” actually means something in the public code space.
Use with clarity, use with discipline, and always trade your edge.

LULD Bands & Trading Halt Detector [Volume Vigilante]📖 LULD Bands & Trading Halt Detector
This advanced tool visualizes official Limit Up / Limit Down (LULD) price bands and detects regulatory trading halts and resumptions based on SEC and NASDAQ rules. It is engineered for high accuracy by anchoring all calculations to the 1-minute timeframe, ensuring reliable signals across any chart resolution.
📌 What Does This Script Do?
- Draws real-time LULD price band estimations and optional buffer (caution) zones directly on the chart.
- Detects trading halt resumptions by monitoring time gaps between candles and other regulatory criteria. (Note: Due to Pine Script limitations, halts cannot be detected in real-time, only resumptions after they occur.)
- Triggers real-time alerts for:
- Trading Resumptions (Limit Up & Limit Down)
- LULD Zone Entries (Caution Zone)
- Band Breaches (Limit Up and Limit Down)
- Plots historical halt resumption markers to analyse past events.
📐 How It Works:
- Implements official SEC/NASDAQ LULD rules for Tier 1 and Tier 2 securities.
- Applies special band adjustments for the final 25 minutes of trading (after 3:35 PM ET).
- Anchors all logic to the 1-minute timeframe for precise calculations, even on higher timeframe charts.
- Includes adjustable volume and volatility filters to eliminate false signals (ghost halts) on low-- liquidity assets, especially Tier 2 securities when TradingView fails to print candles.
⚙️ How to Use It:
1.) Apply the script to any asset or timeframe.
2.) Adjust Volume and Volatility Filters to reduce noise. (Recommended: 500,000+ volume, 10%+ volatility.)
3.) Enable or disable visual components like bands, buffer zones, and halt resumption labels.
4.) Configure alerts directly from the script settings panel.
5.) Apply alerts to individual assets via "Add Alert On..." or to entire watchlists using "Add Alert on the List."
🧩 What Makes This Script Unique?
- True 1-Minute Anchored Calculations: Ensures alerts and visuals match official trading halt criteria regardless of chart timeframe.

Extended-hours Volume vs AVOL// ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// Extended-Hours Volume vs AVOL • HOW IT WORKS & HOW TO TRADE IT
// ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
//
// ░ What this indicator is
// ------------------------
// • It accumulates PRE-MARKET (04:00-09:30 ET) and AFTER-HOURS (16:00-20:00 ET)
// volume on intraday charts and compares that running total with the stock’s
// 21-day average daily volume (“AVOL” by default).
// • Three live read-outs are shown in the data-window/table:
//
// AH – volume traded since the 16:00 ET close
// PM – volume traded before the 09:30 ET open
// Ext – AH + PM (updates in pre-market only)
// %AVOL – Ext ÷ AVOL × 100 (updates in pre-market)
//
// • It is intended for U.S. equities but the session strings can be edited for
// other markets.
//
// ░ Why it matters
// ----------------
// Big extended-hours volume almost always precedes outsized intraday range.
// By quantifying that volume as a % of “normal” trade (AVOL), you can filter
// which gappers and news names deserve focus *before* the bell rings.
//
// ░ Quick-start trade plan (educational template – tune to taste)
// ----------------------------------------------------------------
// 1. **Scan** the watch-list between 08:30-09:25 ET.
// ► Keep charts on 1- or 5-minute candles with “Extended Hours” ✔ checked.
// 2. **Filter** by `Ext` or `%AVOL`:
// – Skip if < 10 % → very low interest
// – Flag if 20-50 % → strong interest, Tier-1 candidate
// – Laser-focus if > 50 % → crowd favourite; expect liquidity & range
// 3. **Opening Range Breakout (long example)**
// • Preconditions: Ext ≥ 20 % & price above yesterday’s close.
// • Let the first 1- or 5-min bar complete after 09:30.
// • Stop-buy 1 tick above that bar (or pre-market high – whichever higher).
// • Initial stop below that bar low (or pre-market low).
// • First target = 1R or next HTF resistance.
// 4. **Red-to-Green reversal (gap-down long)**
// • Ext ≥ 30 % but pre-market gap is negative.
// • Enter as price reclaims yesterday’s close on live volume.
// • Stop under reclaim bar; scale out into VWAP / first liquidity pocket.
// 5. **Risk** – size so the full stop is ≤ 1 R of account. Volume fade or
// loss of %AVOL slope is a reason to tighten or exit early.
//
// ░ Tips
// ------
// • AVOL look-back can be changed in the input panel (21 days ⇒ ~1 month).
// • To monitor several symbols, open a multi-chart layout and sort your
// watch-list by %AVOL descending – leaders float to the top automatically.
// • Replace colour constants with hex if the namespace ever gets shadowed.

Liquidity Sweep DetectorThe Liquidity Sweep Detector represents a technical analysis tool specifically designed to identify market microstructure patterns typically associated with institutional trading activity. According to Harris (2003), institutional traders frequently employ tactics where they momentarily break through price levels to trigger stop orders before redirecting the market in the opposite direction. This phenomenon, commonly referred to as "stop hunting" or "liquidity sweeping," constitutes a significant aspect of institutional order flow analysis (Osler, 2003). The current implementation provides retail traders with a means to identify these patterns, potentially aligning their trading decisions with institutional movements rather than becoming victims of such strategies.
Osler's (2003) research documents how stop-loss orders tend to cluster around significant price levels, creating concentrations of liquidity. Taylor (2005) argues that sophisticated institutional participants systematically exploit these liquidity clusters by inducing price movements that trigger these orders, subsequently profiting from the ensuing price reaction. The algorithmic detection of such patterns involves several key processes. First, the indicator identifies swing points—local maxima and minima—through comparison with historical price data within a definable lookback period. These swing points correspond to what Bulkowski (2011) describes as "significant pivot points" that frequently serve as liquidity zones where stop orders accumulate.
The core detection algorithm utilizes a multi-stage process to identify potential sweeps. For high sweeps, it monitors when price exceeds a previous swing high by a specified threshold percentage, followed by a bearish candle that closes below the original swing high level. Conversely, for low sweeps, it detects when price drops below a previous swing low by the threshold percentage, followed by a bullish candle closing above the original swing low. As noted by Lo and MacKinlay (2011), these price patterns often emerge when large institutional players attempt to capture liquidity before initiating significant directional moves.
The indicator maintains historical arrays of detected sweep events with their corresponding timestamps, enabling temporal analysis of market behavior following such events. Visual elements include horizontal lines marking sweep levels, background color highlighting for sweep events, and an information table displaying active sweeps with their corresponding price levels and elapsed time since detection. This visualization approach allows traders to quickly identify potential institutional activity without requiring complex interpretation of raw price data.
Parameter customization includes adjustable lookback periods for swing point identification, sweep threshold percentages for signal sensitivity, and display duration settings. These parameters allow traders to adapt the indicator to various market conditions and timeframes, as markets demonstrate different liquidity characteristics across instruments and periods (Madhavan, 2000).
Empirical studies by Easley et al. (2012) suggest that retail traders who successfully identify and act upon institutional liquidity sweeps may achieve superior risk-adjusted returns compared to conventional technical analysis approaches. However, as cautioned by Chordia et al. (2008), such patterns should be considered within broader market context rather than in isolation, as their predictive value varies significantly with overall market volatility and liquidity conditions.

Smart Trend Lines [The_lurker]
Smart Trend Lines
A multi-level trend classifier that detects bullish and bearish conditions using a methodology based on drawing trend lines—main, intermediate, and short-term—by identifying peaks and troughs. The tool highlights trend strength by applying filters such as the Average Directional Index (ADX) (A), Relative Strength Index (RSI) (R), and Volume (V), making it easier to interpret trend strength. The filter markers (V, A, R) in the Smart Trend Lines indicator are powerful tools for assessing the reliability of breakouts. Breakouts containing are the most reliable, as they indicate strong volume support, trend strength, and favorable momentum. Breakouts with partial filters (such as or ) require additional confirmation, while breakouts without filters ( ) should be avoided unless supported by other strong signals. By understanding the meaning of each filter and the market context.
Core Functionality
1. Trend Line Types
The indicator generates three distinct trend line categories, each serving a specific analytical purpose:
Main Trend Lines: These are long-term trend lines designed to capture significant market trends. They are calculated based on pivot points over a user-defined period (default: 50 bars). Main trend lines are ideal for identifying macro-level support and resistance zones.
Mid Trend Lines: These are medium-term trend lines (default: 21 bars) that focus on intermediate price movements. They provide a balance between short-term fluctuations and long-term trends, suitable for swing trading strategies.
Short Trend Lines: These are short-term trend lines (default: 9 bars) that track rapid price changes. They are particularly useful for scalping or day trading, highlighting immediate support and resistance levels.
Each trend line type can be independently enabled or disabled, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred timeframes.
2. Breakout Detection
The indicator employs a robust breakout detection system that identifies when the price crosses a trend line, signaling a potential trend reversal or continuation. Breakouts are validated using the following filters:
ADX Filter: The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures trend strength. A user-defined threshold (default: 20) ensures that breakouts occur during strong trends, reducing false signals in range-bound markets.
RSI Filter: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) identifies overbought or oversold conditions. Breakouts are filtered based on RSI thresholds (default: 65 for overbought, 35 for oversold) to avoid signals in extreme market conditions.
Volume Filter: Breakouts are confirmed only when trading volume exceeds a moving average (default: 20 bars) and aligns with the breakout direction (e.g., higher volume on bullish breakouts when the candle closes higher).
Breakout events are marked with labels on the chart, indicating the type of trend line broken (Main, Mid, or Short) and the filters satisfied (Volume, ADX, RSI). Alerts are triggered for each breakout, providing real-time notifications.
3. Customization Options
The indicator offers extensive customization through input settings, organized into logical groups for ease of use:
Main Trend Line Settings
Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate pivot points (default: 50).
Bullish Color: Color for upward-sloping (bullish) main trend lines (default: green).
Bearish Color: Color for downward-sloping (bearish) main trend lines (default: red).
Style: Line style options include solid, dashed, or dotted (default: solid).
Mid Trend Line Settings
Length: Number of bars for mid-term pivot points (default: 21).
Show/Hide: Toggle visibility of mid trend lines (default: enabled).
Bullish Color: Color for bullish mid trend lines (default: lime).
Bearish Color: Color for bearish mid trend lines (default: maroon).
Style: Line style (default: dashed).
Short Trend Line Settings
Length: Number of bars for short-term pivot points (default: 9).
Show/Hide: Toggle visibility of short trend lines (default: enabled).
Bullish Color: Color for bullish short trend lines (default: teal).
Bearish Color: Color for bearish short trend lines (default: purple).
Style: Line style (default: dotted).
General Display Settings
Break Check Price: Selects the price type for breakout detection (Close, High, or Low; default: Close).
Show Previous Trendlines: Option to display historical main trend lines (default: disabled).
Label Size: Size of breakout labels (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge; default: Small).
Filter Settings
ADX Threshold: Minimum ADX value for trend strength confirmation (default: 25).
Volume MA Period: Period for the volume moving average (default: 20).
RSI Filter: Enable/disable RSI filtering (default: enabled).
RSI Upper Threshold: Upper RSI limit for overbought conditions (default: 65).
RSI Lower Threshold: Lower RSI limit for oversold conditions (default: 35).
4. Technical Calculations
The indicator relies on several technical calculations to ensure accuracy:
Pivot Points: Pivot highs and lows are detected using the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions, with separate lengths for Main, Mid, and Short trend lines.
Slope Calculation: The slope of each trend line is calculated as the change in price divided by the change in bar index between two pivot points.
ADX Calculation: ADX is computed using a 14-period Directional Movement Index (DMI), with smoothing over 14 bars.
RSI Calculation: RSI is calculated over a 14-period lookback using the ta.rsi function.
Volume Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) of volume is used to determine if current volume exceeds the average.
5. Strict Mode Validation
To ensure the reliability of trend lines, the indicator employs a strict mode check:
For bearish trend lines, all prices between pivot points must remain below the projected trend line.
For bullish trend lines, all prices must remain above the projected trend line.
Post-pivot break checks ensure that no breakouts occur between pivot points, enhancing the validity of the trend line.
6. Trend Line Extension
Trend lines are dynamically extended forward until a breakout occurs. The extension logic:
Projects the trend line using the calculated slope.
Continuously validates the extension using strict mode checks.
Stops extension upon a breakout, fixing the trend line at the breakout point.
7. Alerts and Labels
Labels: Breakout labels are placed above (for bearish breakouts) or below (for bullish breakouts) the price bar. Labels include:
A prefix indicating the trend line type (B for Main, M for Mid, S for Short).
A suffix showing satisfied filters (e.g., for Volume, ADX, and RSI).
Alerts: Each breakout triggers a one-time alert per bar close, with a descriptive message indicating the trend line type and filters met.
Detailed Code Breakdown
1. Initialization and Inputs
The script begins by defining the indicator with indicator('Smart Trend Lines ', overlay = true), ensuring it overlays on the price chart. Input settings are grouped into categories (Main, Mid, Short, General Display, Filters) for user convenience. Each input includes a tooltip in both English and Arabic, enhancing accessibility.
2. Technical Indicator Calculations
Volume MA: Calculated using ta.sma(volume, volPeriod) to compare current volume against the average.
ADX: Computed using custom dirmov and adx functions, which calculate the Directional Movement Index and smooth it over 14 periods.
RSI: Calculated with ta.rsi(close, rsiPeriod) over 14 periods.
Price Selection: The priceToCheck function selects the price type (Close, High, or Low) for breakout detection.
3. Pivot Detection
Pivot points are detected using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow for each trend line type. The lookback period is set to the respective trend line length (e.g., 50 for Main, 21 for Mid, 9 for Short).
4. Trend Line Logic
For each trend line type (Main, Mid, Short):
Bearish Trend Lines: Identified when two consecutive pivot highs form a downward slope. The script validates the trend line using strict mode and post-pivot break checks.
Bullish Trend Lines: Identified when two consecutive pivot lows form an upward slope, with similar validation.
Trend lines are drawn using line.new, with separate lines for the initial segment (between pivots) and the extended segment (from the second pivot forward).
5. Breakout Detection and Labeling
Breakouts are detected when the selected price crosses the trend line level. The script checks:
Volume conditions (above average and aligned with candle direction).
ADX condition (above threshold).
RSI condition (within thresholds if enabled). Labels are created with label.new, and alerts are triggered with alert.
6. Trend Line Extension
The extendTrendline function dynamically updates the trend line’s endpoint unless a breakout occurs. It uses strict mode checks to ensure the trend line remains valid.
7. Previous Trend Lines
If enabled, previous main trend lines are stored in arrays (previousBearishStartLines, previousBullishTrendLines, etc.) and displayed on the chart, providing historical context.

ADX Supertrend | [DeV]The "ADX Supertrend" indicator is a user-friendly tool that blends two popular trading indicators—the Supertrend and the Average Directional Index (ADX)—to help traders spot trends and make smarter trading decisions. By combining these two, it offers a clearer picture of when a market is trending strongly and in which direction, while cutting down on misleading signals. Here’s a straightforward explanation of how each part works, how they team up, the benefits of using them together, and why the ADX makes the Supertrend even better.
Supertrend:
It's like a guide that follows the market’s price movements to tell you whether prices are trending up or down. It creates two lines, one above and one below the price, based on how much the market is bouncing around (its volatility). When the price moves above the upper line, it signals an uptrend (a good time to buy), and the indicator draws a line below the price to show support. When the price drops below the lower line, it signals a downtrend (a potential time to sell), and the line appears above the price as resistance. The Supertrend is great because it adjusts to market conditions, widening the gap between lines in wild markets and tightening it in calm ones.
Average Directional Index:
The ADX is all about measuring how strong a trend is, without caring whether it’s going up or down. Think of it as a meter that tells you if the market is charging forward with purpose or just drifting aimlessly. It uses a scale from 0 to 100, where higher numbers mean a stronger trend. For example, an ADX above 25 often suggests a solid trend worth paying attention to, while a low ADX signals a sleepy, sideways market. The ADX also looks at whether buyers or sellers are in control to confirm the trend’s direction.
Confluence:
The Supertrend is great at spotting trends, but it can be a bit trigger-happy, giving signals in markets that aren’t really trending. That’s where the ADX shines. It acts like a quality control check, making sure the Supertrend’s signals only count when the market is moving with conviction. By filtering out weak or messy trends, the ADX helps you avoid wasting time on trades that fizzle out. It also double-checks the trend’s direction, so you’re not just guessing whether buyers or sellers are in charge. This teamwork means you get signals that are more reliable and less likely to lead you astray, especially in tricky markets where prices bounce around without a clear path.
Liquid Pulse Liquid Pulse by Dskyz (DAFE) Trading Systems
Liquid Pulse is a trading algo built by Dskyz (DAFE) Trading Systems for futures markets like NQ1!, designed to snag high-probability trades with tight risk control. it fuses a confluence system—VWAP, MACD, ADX, volume, and liquidity sweeps—with a trade scoring setup, daily limits, and VIX pauses to dodge wild volatility. visuals include simple signals, VWAP bands, and a dashboard with stats.

True Strength Index (TSI)%📌 Script Name: TSI Percentuale
This script is a custom True Strength Index (TSI) indicator that expresses momentum strength as a percentage from 0% to 100%, instead of the traditional TSI scale.
✅ What the Script Does
Calculates the standard TSI:
Uses double exponential smoothing of price changes and their absolute values.
Formula:
TSI_raw
=
100
×
DoubleSmoothed(ΔPrice)
DoubleSmoothed(|ΔPrice|)
TSI_raw=100×
DoubleSmoothed(|ΔPrice|)
DoubleSmoothed(ΔPrice)
Normalizes TSI to a percentile scale:
Over a user-defined lookback period, the script finds the lowest and highest TSI values.
It then rescales the current TSI to a value between 0% (minimum) and 100% (maximum).
50% represents neutral momentum (i.e., "flat").
Plots the result:
tsi_percent is plotted as a blue line.
Horizontal dashed/dotted lines are drawn at:
0% → strong downward momentum
50% → neutral
100% → strong upward momentum
⚙️ Inputs
Long Length: Long EMA smoothing period (default: 25)
Short Length: Short EMA smoothing period (default: 13)
Signal Length: (not used in this version, can be removed or extended)
Lookback Period: Number of bars to calculate min/max normalization (default: 100)
🧠 Why Use This Indicator
The classic TSI ranges around and can be hard to interpret.
This version makes TSI visually intuitive by converting it to percentile form, allowing easier comparison of momentum strength across time and instruments.
It’s particularly useful for defining zones like:
Above 70% = strong bullish
Below 30% = strong bearish
EXODUS EXODUS by (DAFE) Trading Systems
EXODUS is a sophisticated trading algorithm built by Dskyz (DAFE) Trading Systems for competitive and competition purposes, designed to identify high-probability trades with robust risk management. this strategy leverages a multi-signal voting system, combining three core components—SPR, VWMO, and VEI—alongside ADX, choppiness filters, and ATR-based volatility gates to ensure trades are taken only in favorable market conditions. the algo uses a take-profit to stop-loss ratio, dynamic position sizing, and a strict voting mechanism requiring all signals to align before entering a trade.
EXODUS was not overfitted for any specific symbol. instead, it uses a generic tuned setting, making it versatile across various markets. while it can trade futures, it’s not currently set up for it but has the potential to do more with further development. visuals are intentionally minimal due to its competition focus, prioritizing performance over aesthetics. a more visually stunning version may be released in the future with enhanced graphics.
The Unique Core Components Developed for EXODUS
SPR (Session Price Recalibration)
SPR measures momentum during regular trading hours (RTH, 0930-1600, America/New_York) to catch session-specific trends.
spr_lookback = input.int(15, "SPR Lookback") this sets how many bars back SPR looks to calculate momentum (default 15 bars). it compares the current session’s price-volume score to the score 15 bars ago to gauge momentum strength.
how it works: a longer lookback smooths out the signal, focusing on bigger trends. a shorter one makes SPR more sensitive to recent moves.
how to adjust: on a 1-hour chart, 15 bars is 15 hours (about 2 trading days). if you’re on a shorter timeframe like 5 minutes, 15 bars is just 75 minutes, so you might want to increase it to 50 or 100 to capture more meaningful trends. if you’re trading a choppy stock, a shorter lookback (like 5) can help catch quick moves, but it might give more false signals.
spr_threshold = input.float (0.7, "SPR Threshold")
this is the cutoff for SPR to vote for a trade (default 0.7). if SPR’s normalized value is above 0.7, it votes for a long; below -0.7, it votes for a short.
how it works: SPR normalizes its momentum score by ATR, so this threshold ensures only strong moves count. a higher threshold means fewer trades but higher conviction.
how to adjust: if you’re getting too few trades, lower it to 0.5 to let more signals through. if you’re seeing too many false entries, raise it to 1.0 for stricter filtering. test on your chart to find a balance.
spr_atr_length = input.int(21, "SPR ATR Length") this sets the ATR period (default 21 bars) used to normalize SPR’s momentum score. ATR measures volatility, so this makes SPR’s signal relative to market conditions.
how it works: a longer ATR period (like 21) smooths out volatility, making SPR less jumpy. a shorter one makes it more reactive.
how to adjust: if you’re trading a volatile stock like TSLA, a longer period (30 or 50) can help avoid noise. for a calmer stock, try 10 to make SPR more responsive. match this to your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter ATR.
rth_session = input.session("0930-1600","SPR: RTH Sess.") rth_timezone = "America/New_York" this defines the session SPR uses (0930-1600, New York time). SPR only calculates momentum during these hours to focus on RTH activity.
how it works: it ignores pre-market or after-hours noise, ensuring SPR captures the main market action.
how to adjust: if you trade a different session (like London hours, 0300-1200 EST), change the session to match. you can also adjust the timezone if you’re in a different region, like "Europe/London". just make sure your chart’s timezone aligns with this setting.
VWMO (Volume-Weighted Momentum Oscillator)
VWMO measures momentum weighted by volume to spot sustained, high-conviction moves.
vwmo_momlen = input.int(21, "VWMO Momentum Length") this sets how many bars back VWMO looks to calculate price momentum (default 21 bars). it takes the price change (close minus close 21 bars ago).
how it works: a longer period captures bigger trends, while a shorter one reacts to recent swings.
how to adjust: on a daily chart, 21 bars is about a month—good for trend trading. on a 5-minute chart, it’s just 105 minutes, so you might bump it to 50 or 100 for more meaningful moves. if you want faster signals, drop it to 10, but expect more noise.
vwmo_volback = input.int(30, "VWMO Volume Lookback") this sets the period for calculating average volume (default 30 bars). VWMO weights momentum by volume divided by this average.
how it works: it compares current volume to the average to see if a move has strong participation. a longer lookback smooths the average, while a shorter one makes it more sensitive.
how to adjust: for stocks with spiky volume (like NVDA on earnings), a longer lookback (50 or 100) avoids overreacting to one-off spikes. for steady volume stocks, try 20. match this to your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter lookback.
vwmo_smooth = input.int(9, "VWMO Smoothing")
this sets the SMA period to smooth VWMO’s raw momentum (default 9 bars).
how it works: smoothing reduces noise in the signal, making VWMO more reliable for voting. a longer smoothing period cuts more noise but adds lag.
how to adjust: if VWMO is too jumpy (lots of false votes), increase to 15. if it’s too slow and missing trades, drop to 5. test on your chart to see what keeps the signal clean but responsive.
vwmo_threshold = input.float(10, "VWMO Threshold") this is the cutoff for VWMO to vote for a trade (default 10). above 10, it votes for a long; below -10, a short.
how it works: it ensures only strong momentum signals count. a higher threshold means fewer but stronger trades.
how to adjust: if you want more trades, lower it to 5. if you’re getting too many weak signals, raise it to 15. this depends on your market—volatile stocks might need a higher threshold to filter noise.
VEI (Velocity Efficiency Index)
VEI measures market efficiency and velocity to filter out choppy moves and focus on strong trends.
vei_eflen = input.int(14, "VEI Efficiency Smoothing") this sets the EMA period for smoothing VEI’s efficiency calc (bar range / volume, default 14 bars).
how it works: efficiency is how much price moves per unit of volume. smoothing it with an EMA reduces noise, focusing on consistent efficiency. a longer period smooths more but adds lag.
how to adjust: for choppy markets, increase to 20 to filter out noise. for faster markets, drop to 10 for quicker signals. this should match your timeframe—shorter timeframes might need a shorter period.
vei_momlen = input.int(8, "VEI Momentum Length") this sets how many bars back VEI looks to calculate momentum in efficiency (default 8 bars).
how it works: it measures the change in smoothed efficiency over 8 bars, then adjusts for inertia (volume-to-range). a longer period captures bigger shifts, while a shorter one reacts faster.
how to adjust: if VEI is missing quick reversals, drop to 5. if it’s too noisy, raise to 12. test on your chart to see what catches the right moves without too many false signals.
vei_threshold = input.float(4.5, "VEI Threshold") this is the cutoff for VEI to vote for a trade (default 4.5). above 4.5, it votes for a long; below -4.5, a short.
how it works: it ensures only strong, efficient moves count. a higher threshold means fewer trades but higher quality.
how to adjust: if you’re not getting enough trades, lower to 3. if you’re seeing too many false entries, raise to 6. this depends on your market—fast stocks like NQ1 might need a lower threshold.
Features
Multi-Signal Voting: requires all three signals (SPR, VWMO, VEI) to align for a trade, ensuring high-probability setups.
Risk Management: uses ATR-based stops (2.1x) and take-profits (4.1x), with dynamic position sizing based on a risk percentage (default 0.4%).
Market Filters: ADX (default 27) ensures trending conditions, choppiness index (default 54.5) avoids sideways markets, and ATR expansion (default 1.12) confirms volatility.
Dashboard: provides real-time stats like SPR, VWMO, VEI values, net P/L, win rate, and streak, with a clean, functional design.
Visuals
EXODUS prioritizes performance over visuals, as it was built for competitive and competition purposes. entry/exit signals are marked with simple labels and shapes, and a basic heatmap highlights market regimes. a more visually stunning update may be released later, with enhanced graphics and overlays.
Usage
EXODUS is designed for stocks and ETFs but can be adapted for futures with adjustments. it performs best in trending markets with sufficient volatility, as confirmed by its generic tuning across symbols like TSLA, AMD, NVDA, and NQ1. adjust inputs like SPR threshold, VWMO smoothing, or VEI momentum length to suit specific assets or timeframes.
Setting I used: (Again, these are a generic setting, each security needs to be fine tuned)
SPR LB = 19 SPR TH = 0.5 SPR ATR L= 21 SPR RTH Sess: 9:30 – 16:00
VWMO L = 21 VWMO LB = 18 VWMO S = 6 VWMO T = 8
VEI ES = 14 VEI ML = 21 VEI T = 4
R % = 0.4
ATR L = 21 ATR M (S) =1.1 TP Multi = 2.1 ATR min mult = 0.8 ATR Expansion = 1.02
ADX L = 21 Min ADX = 25
Choppiness Index = 14 Chop. Max T = 55.5

sideways market for strangleThis Pine Script is designed to identify **sideways or range-bound markets**, which are often ideal conditions for trading **options strangle strategies**. Here's a breakdown of what the script does:
---
### 🛠 **Purpose:**
To **detect low-volatility, sideways market conditions** where price is not trending strongly in either direction — suitable for **neutral options strategies like short strangles**.
---
### 📌 **Key Components:**
#### 1. **Inputs:**
- `RSI Length`: Default 14 — used for calculating the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
- `ADX Length`: Default 14 — used for calculating the Average Directional Index (ADX), DI+ (positive directional movement), and DI- (negative directional movement).
#### 2. **RSI Calculation:**
- `rsiValue` is calculated using the built-in `ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)`.
- A **sideways market** is expected when RSI is in the **40–60 range**, indicating lack of strong momentum.
#### 3. **ADX and Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-):**
- `diPlus` and `diMinus` are calculated based on recent price movements and the True Range.
- `dx` (Directional Index) measures the strength of trend direction using the difference between DI+ and DI-.
- `adx` is a smoothed version of `dx` and represents **overall trend strength**.
#### 4. **Sideways Market Conditions:**
- **RSI Condition**: RSI is between 40 and 60.
- **ADX Condition**:
- `adx <= 25` → Weak or no trend.
- `adx < diPlus` and `adx < diMinus` → Confirms ADX is lower than directional components, reducing likelihood of a trending market.
#### 5. **Signal Plot:**
- A **green label below the bar** (`shape.labelup`) is plotted when both conditions are met.
- Indicates potential sideways market conditions.
---
### ✅ **Use Case:**
- This signal can help identify **low-volatility zones** suitable for **short strangles** or **iron condors**, where you profit from time decay while expecting the price to stay within a range.

Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:
Display: BB basis (20, white), upper/lower (green/red, 45% transparent). Fill pulses (30–50 alpha) by regime, with glow (60–95 alpha) near bands (close ≥ 0.995x upper or ≤ 1.005x lower).
Purpose: Highlights volatility and key levels with a futuristic glow.
Visuals make complex regimes and signals instantly clear, even for newbies.
Pulsing effects and regime-specific colors add a DAFE signature, setting it apart from generic scripts.
BB glow emphasizes tradeable levels, enhancing decision-making.
Chart Background (Regime Heatmap):
Green — Trending Market: Strong, sustained price movement in one direction. The market is in a trend phase—momentum follows through.
Orange — Range-Bound: Market is consolidating or moving sideways, with no clear up/down trend. Great for mean reversion setups.
Red — Volatile Regime: High volatility, heightened risk, and larger/faster price swings—trade with caution.

Sharpe & Sortino Ratio PROSharpe & Sortino Ratio PRO offers an advanced and more precise way to calculate and visualize the Sharpe and Sortino Ratios for financial assets on TradingView. Its main goal is to provide a scientifically accurate method for assessing the risk-adjusted performance of assets, both in the short and long term. Unlike TradingView’s built-in metrics, this script correctly handles periodic returns, uses optional logarithmic returns, properly annualizes both returns and volatility, and adjusts for the risk-free rate — all critical factors for truly meaningful Sharpe and Sortino calculations.
Users can customize the rolling analysis window (e.g., 252 periods for one year on daily data) and the long-term smoothing period (e.g., 1260 periods for five years). There’s also an option to select between linear and logarithmic returns and to manually input a risk-free rate if real-time data from FRED (the 3-Month T-Bill Rate via FRED:DGS3MO) is unavailable. Based on the chart’s timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly), the script automatically adjusts the risk-free rate to a per-period basis.
The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by first determining the asset’s excess returns (returns after subtracting the risk-free return per period), then computing the average and standard deviation of those excess returns over the specified window, and finally annualizing these figures separately — in line with best scientific practices (Sharpe, 1994). The Sortino Ratio follows a similar approach but only considers negative returns, focusing specifically on downside risk (Sortino & Van der Meer, 1991).
To enhance readability, the script visualizes the ratios using a color gradient: strong negative values are shown in red, neutral values in yellow, and strong positive values in green. Additionally, the long-term averages for both Sharpe and Sortino are plotted with steady colors (teal and orange, respectively), making it easier to spot enduring performance trends.
Why calculating Sharpe and Sortino Ratios manually on TradingView is necessary?
While TradingView provides basic Sharpe and Sortino Ratios, they come with significant methodological flaws that can lead to misleading conclusions about an asset’s true risk-adjusted performance.
First, TradingView often computes volatility based on the standard deviation of price levels rather than returns (TradingView, 2023). This method is problematic because it causes the volatility measure to be directly dependent on the asset’s absolute price. For instance, a stock priced at $1,000 will naturally show larger absolute daily price moves than a $10 stock, even if their percentage changes are similar. This artificially inflates the measured standard deviation and, as a result, depresses the calculated Sharpe Ratio.
Second, TradingView frequently neglects to adjust for the risk-free rate. By treating all returns as risky returns, the computed Sharpe Ratio may significantly underestimate risk-adjusted performance, especially when interest rates are high (Sharpe, 1994).
Third, and perhaps most critically, TradingView doesn’t properly annualize the mean excess return and the standard deviation separately. In correct financial math, the mean excess return should be multiplied by the number of periods per year, while the standard deviation should be multiplied by the square root of the number of periods per year (Cont, 2001; Fabozzi et al., 2007). Incorrect annualization skews the Sharpe and Sortino Ratios and can lead to under- or overestimating investment risk.
These flaws lead to three major issues:
• Overstated volatility for high-priced assets.
• Incorrect scaling between returns and risk.
• Sharpe Ratios that are systematically biased downward, especially in high-price or high-interest environments.
How to properly calculate Sharpe and Sortino Ratios in Pine Script?
To get accurate results, the Sharpe and Sortino Ratios must be calculated using the correct methodology:
1. Use returns, not price levels, to calculate volatility. Ideally, use logarithmic returns for better mathematical properties like time additivity (Cont, 2001).
2. Adjust returns by subtracting the risk-free rate on a per-period basis to obtain true excess returns.
3. Annualize separately:
• Multiply the mean excess return by the number of periods per year (e.g., 252 for daily data).
• Multiply the standard deviation by the square root of the number of periods per year.
4. Finally, divide the annualized mean excess return by the annualized standard deviation to calculate the Sharpe Ratio.
The Sortino Ratio follows the same structure but uses downside deviations instead of standard deviations.
By following this scientifically sound method, you ensure that your Sharpe and Sortino Ratios truly reflect the asset’s real-world risk and return characteristics.

Clenow MomentumClenow Momentum Method
The Clenow Momentum Method, developed by Andreas Clenow, is a systematic, quantitative trading strategy focused on capturing medium- to long-term price trends in financial markets. Popularized through Clenow’s book, Stocks on the Move: Beating the Market with Hedge Fund Momentum Strategies, the method leverages momentum—an empirically observed phenomenon where assets that have performed well in the recent past tend to continue performing well in the near future.
Theoretical Foundation
Momentum investing is grounded in behavioral finance and market inefficiencies. Investors often exhibit herding behavior, underreact to new information, or chase trends, causing prices to trend beyond fundamental values. Clenow’s method builds on academic research, such as Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), which demonstrated that stocks with high returns over 3–12 months outperform those with low returns over similar periods.
Clenow’s approach specifically uses **annualized momentum**, calculated as the rate of return over a lookback period (typically 90 days), annualized to reflect a yearly percentage. The formula is:
Momentum=(((Close N periods agoCurrent Close)^N252)−1)×100
- Current Close: The most recent closing price.
- Close N periods ago: The closing price N periods back (e.g., 90 days).
- N: Lookback period (commonly 90 days).
- 252: Approximate trading days in a year for annualization.
This metric ranks stocks by their momentum, prioritizing those with the strongest upward trends. Clenow’s method also incorporates risk management, diversification, and volatility adjustments to enhance robustness.
Methodology
The Clenow Momentum Method involves the following steps:
1. Universe Selection:
- A broad universe of liquid stocks is chosen, often from major indices (e.g., S&P 500, Nasdaq 100) or global exchanges.
- Filters should exclude illiquid stocks (e.g., low average daily volume) or those with extreme volatility.
2. Momentum Calculation:
- Stocks are ranked based on their annualized momentum over a lookback period (typically 90 days, though 60–120 days can be common tests).
- The top-ranked stocks (e.g., top 10–20%) are selected for the portfolio.
3. Volatility Adjustment (Optional):
- Clenow sometimes adjusts momentum scores by volatility (e.g., dividing by the standard deviation of returns) to favor stocks with smoother trends.
- This reduces exposure to erratic price movements.
4. Portfolio Construction:
- A diversified portfolio of 10–25 stocks is constructed, with equal or volatility-weighted allocations.
- Position sizes are often adjusted based on risk (e.g., 1% of capital per position).
5. Rebalancing:
- The portfolio is rebalanced periodically (e.g., weekly or monthly) to maintain exposure to high-momentum stocks.
- Stocks falling below a momentum threshold are replaced with higher-ranked candidates.
6. Risk Management:
- Stop-losses or trailing stops may be applied to limit downside risk.
- Diversification across sectors reduces concentration risk.
Implementation in TradingView
Key features include:
- Customizable Lookback: Users can adjust the lookback period in pinescript (e.g., 90 days) to align with Clenow’s methodology.
- Visual Cues: Background colors (green for positive, red for negative momentum) and a zero line help identify trend strength.
- Integration with Screeners: TradingView’s stock screener can filter high-momentum stocks, which can then be analyzed with the custom indicator.
Strengths
1. Simplicity: The method is straightforward, relying on a single metric (momentum) that’s easy to calculate and interpret.
2. Empirical Support: Backed by decades of academic research and real-world hedge fund performance.
3. Adaptability: Applicable to stocks, ETFs, or other asset classes, with flexible lookback periods.
4. Risk Management: Diversification and periodic rebalancing reduce idiosyncratic risk.
5. TradingView Integration: Pine Script implementation enables real-time visualization, enhancing decision-making for stocks like NVDA or SPY.
Limitations
1. Mean Reversion Risk: Momentum can reverse sharply in bear markets or during sector rotations, leading to drawdowns.
2. Transaction Costs: Frequent rebalancing increases trading costs, especially for retail traders with high commissions. This is not as prevalent with commission free trading becoming more available.
3. Overfitting Risk: Over-optimizing lookback periods or filters can reduce out-of-sample performance.
4. Market Conditions: Underperforms in low-momentum or highly volatile markets.
Practical Applications
The Clenow Momentum Method is ideal for:
Retail Traders: Use TradingView’s screener to identify high-momentum stocks, then apply the Pine Script indicator to confirm trends.
Portfolio Managers: Build diversified momentum portfolios, rebalancing monthly to capture trends.
Swing Traders: Combine with volume filters to target short-term breakouts in high-momentum stocks.
Cross-Platform Workflow: Integrate with Python scanners to rank stocks, then visualize on TradingView for trade execution.
Comparison to Other Strategies
Vs. Minervini’s VCP: Clenow’s method is purely quantitative, while Minervini’s Volatility Contraction Pattern (your April 11, 2025 query) combines momentum with chart patterns. Clenow is more systematic but less discretionary.
Vs. Mean Reversion: Momentum bets on trend continuation, unlike mean reversion strategies that target oversold conditions.
Vs. Value Investing: Momentum outperforms in bull markets but may lag value strategies in recovery phases.
Conclusion
The Clenow Momentum Method is a robust, evidence-based strategy that capitalizes on price trends while managing risk through diversification and rebalancing. Its simplicity and adaptability make it accessible to retail traders, especially when implemented on platforms like TradingView with custom Pine Script indicators. Traders must be mindful of transaction costs, mean reversion risks, and market conditions. By combining Clenow’s momentum with volume filters and alerts, you can optimize its application for swing or position trading.
SwiftEdge NW EnvelopeSwiftEdge NW Envelope
Overview
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope is a visually striking technical indicator designed for traders seeking to identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities in volatile markets. By combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and Nadaraya-Watson Envelope, this indicator provides a unique blend of momentum, volatility, and non-linear trend analysis. Its futuristic, AI-inspired aesthetic—featuring neon gradients and dynamic colors—enhances chart readability while delivering actionable trading signals.
What It Does
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope generates buy and sell signals based on price interactions with dynamically calculated support and resistance bands, confirmed by RSI conditions. The indicator:
Plots a Nadaraya-Watson Envelope to identify smooth, non-linear price trends and dynamic support/resistance zones.
Uses ATR to scale the envelope’s bands, adapting to market volatility.
Employs RSI to confirm overbought/oversold conditions, ensuring signals align with momentum.
Visualizes signals with neon-colored markers, background zones, and labels for intuitive decision-making.
How It Works
The indicator integrates three key components:
Nadaraya-Watson Envelope:
A kernel-based regression technique that smooths price data to create a central trend line (mean) and dynamic upper/lower bands.
Unlike traditional moving averages, it provides a non-linear, adaptive view of price trends, making it ideal for capturing complex market movements.
The band width is determined by ATR, ensuring responsiveness to volatility.
Average True Range (ATR):
Measures market volatility to scale the envelope’s bands.
A multiplier (default: 0.5) adjusts the sensitivity of the bands, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator for different assets or market conditions.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
A momentum oscillator with a shortened period (default: 5) for increased sensitivity.
Confirms buy signals when RSI is oversold (default: <30) and sell signals when RSI is overbought (default: >70).
Signal Logic
Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the lower band of the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope and RSI is below the oversold threshold. Marked by a green circle and a "BUY" label below the candle.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the upper band and RSI is above the overbought threshold. Marked by a magenta circle and a "SELL" label above the candle.
Background Zones: Green (buy) or red (sell) translucent zones highlight signal areas for quick recognition.
Visual Features
Dynamic Colors: The central trend line shifts between cyan (uptrend), purple (downtrend), or gray (neutral) based on price position relative to the mean.
Neon Gradient Fill: A translucent blue fill between the upper (green) and lower (red) bands creates a glowing, futuristic effect.
Modern Signal Markers: Small, vibrant circles (green for buy, magenta for sell) and clear labels enhance visual clarity.
Why This Combination?
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope combines RSI, ATR, and Nadaraya-Watson Envelope to create a robust trading tool:
RSI provides momentum confirmation, filtering out false signals in choppy markets.
ATR ensures the envelope adapts to changing volatility, making it suitable for both trending and ranging markets.
Nadaraya-Watson Envelope offers a sophisticated, non-linear alternative to traditional bands (e.g., Bollinger Bands), capturing subtle price dynamics. Together, these components deliver a balanced approach to trend-following and mean-reversion strategies, with RSI acting as a gatekeeper to improve signal reliability.
Customize Settings:
RSI Period (5): Adjust for more/less sensitivity to momentum.
RSI Overbought/Oversold (70/30): Modify thresholds to tighten or loosen signal conditions.
ATR Period (14) and Multiplier (0.5): Tune volatility sensitivity.
NW Length (25), Bandwidth (8.0), Multiplier (3.0): Adjust the smoothness and width of the envelope.
Interpret Signals:
Buy: Look for green circles and "BUY" labels when price crosses above the lower band, confirmed by low RSI.
Sell: Look for magenta circles and "SELL" labels when price crosses below the upper band, confirmed by high RSI.
Use background zones to quickly spot active signal areas.
Combine with Other Tools:
Pair with support/resistance levels or volume analysis for additional confirmation.
Test signals on a demo account before live trading.
Originality
The SwiftEdge NW Envelope stands out due to:
Its innovative use of Nadaraya-Watson regression, a less common but powerful tool for non-linear trend analysis.
A unique visual design with neon gradients and dynamic colors, inspired by AI and futuristic interfaces, making it both functional and visually engaging.
A streamlined signal system that balances momentum (RSI), volatility (ATR), and trend (Nadaraya-Watson), reducing noise and enhancing trade precision.
Notes
Best suited for volatile markets (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks) where price swings create clear envelope breakouts.
Adjust input parameters to match your trading style (e.g., shorter RSI period for scalping, wider bands for swing trading).
Always backtest and validate signals in your specific market and timeframe before trading.

Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:
- Need to identify high-liquidity periods
- Want to avoid low-volume periods
- Look for volume breakouts or divergences
- Trade based on institutional participation levels
3. Mean Reversion Traders
Helps identify:
- Overextended volume conditions (potential reversals)
- Volume exhaustion points
- Return to normal volume levels after spikes
4. Momentum Traders
Useful for:
- Confirming trend strength through volume
- Identifying potential trend exhaustion
- Validating breakouts with volume confirmation
Advantages Over Traditional Volume Indicators

- **Green:** EMA/SMA pairs with shorter periods when their average is lower.
- **Red:** EMA/SMA pairs with longer periods when their average is lower.
- **Star (⭐):** Represents the "Golden" average clearly.

Heiken Ashi Supertrend ADXHeiken Ashi Supertrend ADX Indicator
Overview
This indicator combines the power of Heiken Ashi candles, Supertrend indicator, and ADX filter to identify strong trend movements across multiple timeframes. Designed primarily for the cryptocurrency market but adaptable to any tradable asset, this system focuses on capturing momentum in established trends while employing a sophisticated triple-layer stop loss mechanism to protect capital and secure profits.
Strategy Mechanics
Entry Signals
The strategy uses a unique blend of technical signals to identify high-probability trade entries:
Heiken Ashi Candles: Looks specifically for Heiken Ashi candles with minimal or no wicks, which signal strong momentum and trend continuation. These "full-bodied" candles represent periods where price moved decisively in one direction with minimal retracement. These are overlayed onto normal candes for more accuarte signalling and plotting
Supertrend Filter: Confirms the underlying trend direction using the Supertrend indicator (default factor: 3.0, ATR period: 10). Entries are aligned with the prevailing Supertrend direction.
ADX Filter (Optional) : Can be enabled to focus only on stronger trending conditions, filtering out choppy or ranging markets. When enabled, trades only trigger when ADX is above the specified threshold (default: 25).
Exit Signals
Positions are closed when either:
An opposing signal appears (Heiken Ashi candle with no wick in the opposite direction)
Any of the three stop loss mechanisms are triggered
Triple-Layer Stop Loss System
The strategy employs a sophisticated three-tier stop loss approach:
ATR Trailing Stop: Adapts to market volatility and locks in profits as the trend extends. This stop moves in the direction of the trade, capturing profit without exiting too early during normal price fluctuations.
Swing Point Stop: Uses natural market structure (recent highs/lows over a lookback period) to place stops at logical support/resistance levels, honoring the market's own rhythm.
Insurance Stop: A percentage-based safety net that protects against sudden adverse moves immediately after entry. This is particularly valuable when the swing point stop might be positioned too far from entry, providing immediate capital protection.
Optimization Features
Customizable Filters : All components (Supertrend, ADX) can be enabled/disabled to adapt to different market conditions
Adjustable Parameters : Fine-tune ATR periods, Supertrend factors, and ADX thresholds
Flexible Stop Loss Settings : Each of the three stop loss mechanisms can be individually enabled/disabled with customizable parameters
Best Practices for Implementation
[Recommended Timeframes : Works best on 4-hour charts and above, where trends develop more reliably
Market Conditions: Performs well across various market conditions due to the ADX filter's ability to identify meaningful trends
Performance Characteristics
When properly optimized, this has demonstrated profit factors exceeding 3 in backtesting. The approach typically produces generous winners while limiting losses through its multi-layered stop loss system. The ATR trailing stop is particularly effective at capturing extended trends, while the insurance stop provides immediate protection against adverse moves.
The visual components on the chart make it easy to follow the strategy's logic, with position status, entry prices, and current stop levels clearly displayed.
This indicator represents a complete trading system with clearly defined entry and exit rules, adaptive stop loss mechanisms, and built-in risk management through position sizing.
