Consolidation Breakout [Indian Market Timing]OK let's get started ,
A Day Trading (Intraday) Consolidation Breakout Indication Strategy that explains time condition for Indian Markets .
The commission is also included in the strategy .
The basic idea is ,
1) Price crosses above upper band , indicated by a color change (green) is the Long condition .
2) Price crosses below lower band , indicated by a color change (red) is the Short condition .
3) ATR is used for trailing after entry
// ═══════════════════════════════//
// ————————> TIME CONDITION <————————— //
// ═══════════════════════════════//
The Indian Markets open at 9:15am and closes at 3:30pm.
The time_condition specifies the time at which Entries should happen .
"Close All" function closes all the trades at 2:57pm.
All open trades get closed at 2:57pm , because some brokers dont allow you to place fresh intraday orders after 3pm.
NSE:NIFTY1!

// ————————> BACKTEST RESULTS ( 114 CLOSED TRADES )<————————— //

LENGTH , MULT (factor) and ATR can be changed for better backtest results.
The strategy applied to NIFTY (3 min Time-Frame and contract size 5) gives us 60% profitability , as shown below
It was tested for a period a 8 months with a Profit Factor of 2.2 , avg Trade of 6000Rs profit and Sharpe Ratio : 0.67
The graph has a Linear Curve with consistent profits.

Consolidation
[KL] Relative Volume + ATR StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position when (a) current volume is above the average volume, and when (b) volatility of prices (based on ATR) is relatively low.
Backtested on hourly timeframes, win rates range between 35% to 50% on stocks with positive drifts (i.e. tendency to move upwards). Default setups are as follows:
- Average volume is computed using simple moving average (sma) of 14 periods. By default, 1.4x ratio seems to work well on most large cap stocks. If it's too high, then amount of potential points for entry will decrease. But if it's too low, then this indicator becomes meaningless.
- ATR (for determining volatility), look back period is 14 (following conventions). I have noticed that the profits could change drastically when changed to different values for each individually security. Feel free to experiment around with this parameter.
Other information: This strategy is based off of one of my previous scripts; a script called "Relatively Volume Strategy". The objective of this new script is to simplify the process of determining periods of low volatility. In this new script, we assume prices are consolidating when current ATR is within its moving average value by +/- one standard deviation.
Av3Based on the ANNE EA v3 for MT4. For use on FOREX.
if ATR is greater than ATR average taken from last 5 candles, then market considered as trending, and so Open(0)>Close(1)=buy Open(0)Close(1)=sell Open(0)<Close(1)=buy.
If trending, then buy high & sell low, if consolidation then buy low sell high.
Exit is by trail and Take Profit.

[KL] Relative Volume StrategyThis strategy will Long when:
Confirmation #1: when volume is relatively high
Confirmation #2: during periods of price consolidation (See )
It exits when either (a) stop loss limit is reached, or when (b) price actions suggest trend is bearish.
Measuring price volatility to assume consolidation:
For each candlestick, we quantify price volatility by referring to the value of standard deviations (2x) of closing prices over a look-back period of 20 candles. This is exactly what the Bollinger Band (“BOLL”) indicates by default.
Knowing the value of standard deviation (2x) of prices (aka the width of lower/upper BOLL bands), we then compare it with ATR (x2) over a user-defined length (can be configured in settings). Volatility is considered to be low, relatively, when the standard deviation (x2) of prices is less than ATR (2x).
[KL] Bollinger bands + RSI StrategyThis strategy is based on two of my previous scripts, one called “RSI14 + 10”; the other one called “Bollinger Bands Consolidation”. At its core, it combines the main setups from each of those two scripts but excludes the auxiliary features that were considered as experimental. This strategy will identify periods of squeeze, and then enter long during consolidation with a trailing stop loss set.
Primary indicator will be the Bollinger Bands. By comparing the width of the BBs with the ATR of the same lookback period (i.e. 2 standard deviations of the 20 recent closing prices vs ATR(20) x2), we begin to look for confirmation for entry whenever the standard deviation of prices is less than the ATR. This can be seen visually in the plots (i.e. default gray lines representing ATRx2 relative to BB center line).
Confirmation for entry will be the RSIs (slow-14, and fast-10). If both are upward sloping, then we assume prices are in an uptrend and may eventually break above upper band. RSIs are typically in mid-range when prices are consolidating, therefore no need to measure it.
Exits will happen in two cases, (1) when trailing stop loss hits, or (2) when RSIs signal that the instrument is overbought. No. 1 is self-explanatory. No. 2 happens, when RSI14 reaches above 70 (can be changed), followed by RSI10 catching up and surpassing RSI14.
