Smart MA Crossover BacktesterSmart MA Crossover Backtester - Strategy Overview
Strategy Name: Smart MA Crossover Backtester
Published on: TradingView
Applicable Markets: Works well on crypto (tested profitably on ETH)
Strategy Concept
The Smart MA Crossover Backtester is an improved Moving Average (MA) crossover strategy that incorporates a trend filter and an ATR-based stop loss & take profit mechanism for better risk management. It aims to capture trends efficiently while reducing false signals by only trading in the direction of the long-term trend.
Core Components & Logic
Moving Averages (MA) for Entry Signals
Fast Moving Average (9-period SMA)
Slow Moving Average (21-period SMA)
A trade signal is generated when the fast MA crosses the slow MA.
Trend Filter (200-period SMA)
Only enters long positions if price is above the 200-period SMA (bullish trend).
Only enters short positions if price is below the 200-period SMA (bearish trend).
This helps in avoiding counter-trend trades, reducing whipsaws.
ATR-Based Stop Loss & Take Profit
Uses the Average True Range (ATR) with a multiplier of 2 to calculate stop loss.
Risk-Reward Ratio = 1:2 (Take profit is set at 2x ATR).
This ensures dynamic stop loss and take profit levels based on market volatility.
Trading Rules
✅ Long Entry (Buy Signal):
Fast MA (9) crosses above Slow MA (21)
Price is above the 200 MA (bullish trend filter active)
Stop Loss: Below entry price by 2× ATR
Take Profit: Above entry price by 4× ATR
✅ Short Entry (Sell Signal):
Fast MA (9) crosses below Slow MA (21)
Price is below the 200 MA (bearish trend filter active)
Stop Loss: Above entry price by 2× ATR
Take Profit: Below entry price by 4× ATR
Why This Strategy Works Well for Crypto (ETH)?
🔹 Crypto markets are highly volatile – ATR-based stop loss adapts dynamically to market conditions.
🔹 Long-term trend filter (200 MA) ensures trading in the dominant direction, reducing false signals.
🔹 Risk-reward ratio of 1:2 allows for profitable trades even with a lower win rate.
This strategy has been tested on Ethereum (ETH) and has shown profitable performance, making it a strong choice for crypto traders looking for trend-following setups with solid risk management. 🚀
Moving Averages
HMA 4H and 15M overlay Notes:
HMA Calculation: We calculate three HMAs for the 15-minute timeframe (ma1, ma2, ma3) based on the settings from your original script, but only ma3 is plotted to keep it consistent with your initial setup.
4-hour HMA: An additional HMA is calculated for the 4-hour timeframe (hma4h) using the hma3 period since it was the longest in your original setup, which might be suitable for a 4-hour chart comparison.
Plotting: Both the 15-minute ma3 and 4-hour hma4h HMAs are plotted with distinct colors for easy visual differentiation.
Timeframe Security: request.security() is used to fetch data from different timeframes. Remember, using request.security() with historical data can sometimes lead to misalignments or delayed data, especially during live trading.
This script will overlay the 15-minute HMA (using the ma3 from your settings) with a new 4-hour HMA on any chart timeframe you apply it to. Remember, if you're looking at a chart timeframe that's not 15 minutes or 4 hours, the HMAs might appear less smooth or aligned due to how Pine Script handles different timeframes.

:mag: How It Works
The Kalman filter smooths price fluctuations by dynamically adjusting its weighting based on market volatility. It helps remove noise while keeping the signal reactive to trend changes. The Supertrend calculation is then applied to the filtered price data, providing a robust trend-following mechanism. To enhance signal accuracy, a volatility-weighted range filter is incorporated, creating upper and lower boundaries that define trend conditions. When price breaks out of these boundaries, the indicator confirms trend continuation, while signals within the range indicate market consolidation. Traders can leverage this tool to enhance trade timing, filter false breakouts, and identify optimal entry/exit zones.
Adaptive 12/48 EMAThe Adaptive 12/48 EMA is a trend-following indicator that dynamically changes color based on price positioning relative to key exponential moving averages (EMAs).
EMA Calculation:
The script calculates three EMAs—9 EMA (white), 12 EMA (adaptive color), and 48 EMA (adaptive color).
Trend Confirmation:
The 12 EMA turns green when the price (open, close, and low) is fully above it, indicating bullish momentum. The 12 EMA turns red when the price is fully below it, signaling bearish conditions.
Long-Term Trend (48 EMA):
The 48 EMA turns purple when the 12 EMA is above it, confirming an uptrend. The 48 EMA turns pink when the 12 EMA is below it, confirming a downtrend. Both EMAs turn gray when there's no clear trend.
How to Benefit from It:
Trend Trading: Use green/red shifts in the 12 EMA to time entries in the direction of momentum.
Trend Strength Confirmation: The 48 EMA color change helps determine the longer-term trend direction.
Confluence with Other Indicators: Works well with volume indicators or RSI for confirmation before entering trades.
This indicator provides a clear visual representation of trend strength and direction, helping traders make informed decisions based on price structure.
Responsive Moving Average with Trend Detection - MissouriTimThis indicator calculates a responsive moving average (RMA) that dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility. This indicator is more responsive that SMAs, EMAs, WMAs, and HMAs. Here's how it functions:
Dynamic Length Adjustment: Utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust the length of the moving average. In times of increased volatility, the length decreases to make the average more responsive to price changes, and in quieter markets, it increases to reduce noise.
Responsive and Smoothed Moving Averages:
Responsive EMA: An initial Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is calculated with a dynamically adjusted length for responsiveness.
Smoothing: A secondary layer of smoothing is applied to this responsive EMA to further smooth out price fluctuations.
Trend Detection:
Detects trends by comparing the current smoothed EMA with its previous values:
Uptrend is identified when the current smoothed EMA is higher than the last two periods.
Downtrend is recognized when the current smoothed EMA is lower than the last two periods.
Consolidation occurs when neither an uptrend nor a downtrend is present.
Visual Representation:
The moving average line changes color:
Green for an uptrend.
Red for a downtrend.
Orange for consolidation.
Significant Trend Labels:
Labels are displayed when there's a significant change in the moving average:
Uptrend Labels appear when the EMA increases by more than the user-defined "Uptrend Label on % Change" threshold, placed at the high of the bar with green background.
Downtrend Labels are shown when the EMA decreases by more than the "Downtrend Label on % Change" threshold, positioned at the low of the bar with a red background.
Users can enable or disable these labels, and the thresholds for labeling uptrends and downtrends can be adjusted separately to match market conditions or user preferences.
This indicator is tailored for traders needing a moving average that adapts to market dynamics while providing clear visual feedback on significant trend changes via color-coded lines and labels.
Support and Resistance with Buy/Sell SignalsSwing Highs and Lows:
The script identifies swing highs and lows using the ta.highest and ta.lowest functions over a user-defined swing_length period.
Swing highs are treated as resistance levels.
Swing lows are treated as support levels.
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when the price closes above the resistance level (ta.crossover(close, swing_high)).
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when the price closes below the support level (ta.crossunder(close, swing_low)).
Plotting:
Support and resistance levels are plotted on the chart.
Buy and sell signals are displayed as labels on the chart.
Background Highlighting:
The background is highlighted in green for buy signals and red for sell signals (optional).
IB & Hammer at SMA(20,50|200)IB & Hammer at SMA (20, 50, 200) Breakout/Breakdown Indicator
Overview:
The IB (Inside Bar) & Hammer at SMA Breakout/Breakdown Indicator is designed to identify breakout and breakdown opportunities using Inside Bars (IB) in combination with Simple Moving Averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) as key trend filters. This indicator is useful for traders looking to catch momentum moves after consolidation phases, confirming the trend direction with moving averages.
Indicator Logic:
Inside Bar (IB) Detection:
An Inside Bar is a candlestick that is completely within the range of the previous candle (i.e., lower high and higher low).
Inside Bars indicate consolidation, suggesting a potential breakout.
SMA Trend Confirmation:
The script uses three moving averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) to determine the trend direction.
Bullish trend: Price is above the 50 & 200 SMAs.
Bearish trend: Price is below the 50 & 200 SMAs.
The 20 SMA is used as a dynamic short-term momentum filter.
Breakout & Breakdown Conditions:
Breakout: When price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high, and the trend is bullish (above key SMAs).
Breakdown: When price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low, and the trend is bearish (below key SMAs).
Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
Features:
✅ Identifies Inside Bars (consolidation zones).
✅ Uses SMA (20, 50, 200) for trend confirmation.
✅ Breakout/Breakdown signals based on Inside Bar structure.
✅ Customizable Moving Averages & Alerts.
✅ Visual markers for easy trade identification.
How to Use:
Confirm Trend Direction:
If the price is above SMA 50 & 200, look for breakout trades.
If the price is below SMA 50 & 200, look for breakdown trades.
Watch for Inside Bars:
The script highlights Inside Bars with a specific color (configurable).
These bars indicate a low-volatility phase, preparing for a breakout.
Trade on Breakout/Breakdown:
Breakout: Enter long when the price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high (bullish trend).
Breakdown: Enter short when the price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low (bearish trend).
MTF Ichimoku Conversion Line SMA with H/L mirrored levelsWelcome to MTF Ichimoku Conversion Line with SMA Highs/Lows Extended Lines!
1. Overview
It is designed to provide a multi-timeframe view of market trends and potential support/resistance levels by obtaining a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Conversion Line of Ichimoku Equibilium (Ichimoku Kinko-Hyo), which acts as a substantial trend line on the candlestick chart. The SMA of the conversion line smooths out price fluctuations and indicates the overall trend direction—if the candles are above it, the trend can be read as an uptrend, while below it, the trend can be read as a downtrend.
2. Calculation
The indicator first calculates the Conversion Line (see the description of Ichimoku theory anywhere, e.g., Wikipedia), as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period (Conversion Line Length, default is 9, also recommended is 9).
It then retrieves this Conversion Line from a higher timeframe (MTF Timeframe) to add a broader perspective. Using a specified period (SMA Length)., an SMA is computed on this multi-timeframe conversion line. This SMA serves as a trend line that visually represents the prevailing price trend, making it easier to assess market direction.
3. Pivot Highs/low detection and drawing their extensions
In addition, the indicator identifies pivot highs and lows from the SMA data using a defined pivot length. When these pivots occur, horizontal lines are drawn and extended across the chart. These extended lines (drawn in a yellowish color by default) include a full extension, a half extension, and a middle extension line representing the midpoint between the high and low pivot.
4. Mirror lines
The indicator also offers optional mirror line features. When the Mirror Upside option is enabled, five additional lines are drawn above the highest extended yellow line at equal intervals. Similarly, when the Mirror Downside option is enabled, five lines are drawn below the lowest extended yellow line. These light gray mirror lines serve as extra reference levels, which can help identify potential support or resistance zones.
5. Parameters
User parameters include:
- Conversion Line Length: The period used to calculate the conversion line.
- MTF Timeframe: The higher timeframe from which the conversion line is obtained.
- SMA Length: The period over which the SMA is calculated on the conversion line.
- SMA Mode: A toggle to display either the SMA or the raw conversion line (SMA recommended).
- SMA Line Width: The thickness of the SMA line.
- Pivot Length for SMA Highs/Lows: The period used to detect pivot highs and lows in the SMA.
- Horizontal Extension: Number of bars by which the pivot and extended lines are drawn across the chart
- Colors for High and Low Pivot Lines and Extended Lines: Customizable colors are used to draw the lines.
Mirror Upside and Mirror Downside: These options enable drawing additional mirror lines above and below the extended lines.
- Hide Old Lines: An option to hide previous pivot lines once new ones are drawn for a cleaner chart. Turned on by default.
6. Conclusion
Overall, the Conversion Line SMA in this indicator smooths out the conversion line data and effectively functions as a trend line for the candlestick chart, helping traders visually interpret the underlying market trend. The extended and mirror lines provide further context for potential price reversal or continuation areas, making this a powerful tool for multi-timeframe technical analysis.

MTF Signal XpertMTF Signal Xpert – Detailed Description
Overview:
MTF Signal Xpert is a proprietary, open‑source trading signal indicator that fuses multiple technical analysis methods into one cohesive strategy. Developed after rigorous backtesting and extensive research, this advanced tool is designed to deliver clear BUY and SELL signals by analyzing trend, momentum, and volatility across various timeframes. Its integrated approach not only enhances signal reliability but also incorporates dynamic risk management, helping traders protect their capital while navigating complex market conditions.
Detailed Explanation of How It Works:
Trend Detection via Moving Averages
Dual Moving Averages:
MTF Signal Xpert computes two moving averages—a fast MA and a slow MA—with the flexibility to choose from Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA), or Hull (HMA) methods. This dual-MA system helps identify the prevailing market trend by contrasting short-term momentum with longer-term trends.
Crossover Logic:
A BUY signal is initiated when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA, coupled with the condition that the current price is above the lower Bollinger Band. This suggests that the market may be emerging from a lower price region. Conversely, a SELL signal is generated when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA and the price is below the upper Bollinger Band, indicating potential bearish pressure.
Recent Crossover Confirmation:
To ensure that signals reflect current market dynamics, the script tracks the number of bars since the moving average crossover event. Only crossovers that occur within a user-defined “candle confirmation” period are considered, which helps filter out outdated signals and improves overall signal accuracy.
Volatility and Price Extremes with Bollinger Bands
Calculation of Bands:
Bollinger Bands are calculated using a 20‑period simple moving average as the central basis, with the upper and lower bands derived from a standard deviation multiplier. This creates dynamic boundaries that adjust according to recent market volatility.
Signal Reinforcement:
For BUY signals, the condition that the price is above the lower Bollinger Band suggests an undervalued market condition, while for SELL signals, the price falling below the upper Bollinger Band reinforces the bearish bias. This volatility context adds depth to the moving average crossover signals.
Momentum Confirmation Using Multiple Oscillators
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is computed over 14 periods to determine if the market is in an overbought or oversold state. Only readings within an optimal range (defined by user inputs) validate the signal, ensuring that entries are made during balanced conditions.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
The MACD line is compared with its signal line to assess momentum. A bullish scenario is confirmed when the MACD line is above the signal line, while a bearish scenario is indicated when it is below, thus adding another layer of confirmation.
Awesome Oscillator (AO):
The AO measures the difference between short-term and long-term simple moving averages of the median price. Positive AO values support BUY signals, while negative values back SELL signals, offering additional momentum insight.
ADX (Average Directional Index):
The ADX quantifies trend strength. MTF Signal Xpert only considers signals when the ADX value exceeds a specified threshold, ensuring that trades are taken in strongly trending markets.
Optional Stochastic Oscillator:
An optional stochastic oscillator filter can be enabled to further refine signals. It checks for overbought conditions (supporting SELL signals) or oversold conditions (supporting BUY signals), thus reducing ambiguity.
Multi-Timeframe Verification
Higher Timeframe Filter:
To align short-term signals with broader market trends, the script calculates an EMA on a higher timeframe as specified by the user. This multi-timeframe approach helps ensure that signals on the primary chart are consistent with the overall trend, thereby reducing false signals.
Dynamic Risk Management with ATR
ATR-Based Calculations:
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure current market volatility. This value is multiplied by a user-defined factor to dynamically determine stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels, adapting to changing market conditions.
Visual SL/TP Markers:
The calculated SL and TP levels are plotted on the chart as distinct colored dots, enabling traders to quickly identify recommended exit points.
Optional Trailing Stop:
An optional trailing stop feature is available, which adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves favorably, helping to lock in profits while protecting against sudden reversals.
Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation:
MTF Signal Xpert computes a risk/reward ratio based on the dynamic SL and TP levels. This quantitative measure allows traders to assess whether the potential reward justifies the risk associated with a trade.
Condition Weighting and Signal Scoring
Binary Condition Checks:
Each technical condition—ranging from moving average crossovers, Bollinger Band positioning, and RSI range to MACD, AO, ADX, and volume filters—is assigned a binary score (1 if met, 0 if not).
Cumulative Scoring:
These individual scores are summed to generate cumulative bullish and bearish scores, quantifying the overall strength of the signal and providing traders with an objective measure of its viability.
Detailed Signal Explanation:
A comprehensive explanation string is generated, outlining which conditions contributed to the current BUY or SELL signal. This explanation is displayed on an on‑chart dashboard, offering transparency and clarity into the signal generation process.
On-Chart Visualizations and Debug Information
Chart Elements:
The indicator plots all key components—moving averages, Bollinger Bands, SL and TP markers—directly on the chart, providing a clear visual framework for understanding market conditions.
Combined Dashboard:
A dedicated dashboard displays key metrics such as RSI, ADX, and the bullish/bearish scores, alongside a detailed explanation of the current signal. This consolidated view allows traders to quickly grasp the underlying logic.
Debug Table (Optional):
For advanced users, an optional debug table is available. This table breaks down each individual condition, indicating which criteria were met or not met, thus aiding in further analysis and strategy refinement.
Mashup Justification and Originality
MTF Signal Xpert is more than just an aggregation of existing indicators—it is an original synthesis designed to address real-world trading complexities. Here’s how its components work together:
Integrated Trend, Volatility, and Momentum Analysis:
By combining moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and multiple oscillators (RSI, MACD, AO, ADX, and an optional stochastic), the indicator captures diverse market dynamics. Each component reinforces the others, reducing noise and filtering out false signals.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The inclusion of a higher timeframe filter aligns short-term signals with longer-term trends, enhancing overall reliability and reducing the potential for contradictory signals.
Adaptive Risk Management:
Dynamic stop loss and take profit levels, determined using ATR, ensure that the risk management strategy adapts to current market conditions. The optional trailing stop further refines this approach, protecting profits as the market evolves.
Quantitative Signal Scoring:
The condition weighting system provides an objective measure of signal strength, giving traders clear insight into how each technical component contributes to the final decision.

Combo Gama Exposure + EMA + SMA 1.0Gamma Exposure (GEX) for the CBOE Volatility Index ( TVC:VIX ) is an estimate of how much option sellers need to hedge for every 1% change in the underlying asset's price. It's also known as Gamma Levels.
How is GEX calculated?
GEX is calculated based on a 1% move of the underlying security
It's calculated and updated throughout the day
It's based on market positioning and open interest
These regions are important because they show the regions where players can act more aggressively to defend their positions. When inserting the indicator on the chart, a popup will open requesting the GEX levels (Put wall, Vix Call Wall 0DTE, etc.)
In addition, 3 moving averages will be inserted into the chart. A 9-period exponential moving average, a 20-period arithmetic moving average, and a 200-period arithmetic moving average. These moving averages aim to indicate the possible trend of the asset, where pullbacks in these averages can signal a possible entry in favor of the trend.
Moneyball EMA-MACD indicator [VinnieTheFish]Summary of the Moneyball EMA-MACD Indicator Script
Author: VinnieTheFish
Purpose:
This indicator helps traders identify trend direction, momentum shifts, and potential trade signals based on EMA and MACD crossovers.
This Pine Script is a custom indicator that combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) to analyze price trends and momentum. The script uses a custom 9/50 MACD with a 16 smoothing period. The script is written in a way that you can create your own custom MACD settings and create alerts based on those parameters. The chart bars are color coded based on the relative position of the MACD and Signal line primarily for bullish long trade setups.
Bar color coding helps the trader spot potential reversals based on where the price currently resides in relation to the custom 9/50 EMA based MACD and the 16 period smoothing period for the signal line. Indicator also has custom alerts to notify the trader when a potential trade setup exists that correspond with the bar color change.
Question: So why is this called the Moneywell EMA-MACD Indicator?
Answer: In the movie Moneyball the Oakland A's broke down how to win a championship based on data. To make the playoffs you needed so many wins, then broken down by runs and then broken down to base hits. A base hit was good as a walk. With trading often times we look too often for home runs and ignore the importance of getting on base with small wins. This indicator was designed on shorter timeframes to identify those base hits, but can also be adapted to higher timeframes for swing trading.
Key Features:
User Inputs:
Configurable fast and slow lengths for MACD calculation.
Choice between SMA and EMA for oscillator and signal line smoothing.
Customizable signal smoothing length.
EMA Calculation:
Computes 3 EMA, 9 EMA, 20 EMA, and 50 EMA to track short-term and long-term trends.
MACD Calculation:

Cognitive Echo IndexCognitive Echo Index – User Guide
Overview
The Cognitive Echo Index is a composite indicator that combines several technical aspects—including price deviation from a moving average, normalized volatility (via ATR), and volume variations—to create a single numeric value. The output is scaled between -100 and +100, offering insights into market momentum and potential trend reversals.
How It Works
Price Component:
The indicator calculates the percentage change between the current price and its 14-period simple moving average (SMA). This helps identify how far the price deviates from its recent trend.
Volatility Component:
Using the Average True Range (ATR) over a 14-period, the script normalizes current ATR against its 14-period SMA. This shows relative volatility, highlighting unusual market activity.
Volume Component:
It computes the percentage change between the current volume and its 14-period SMA to detect spikes or drops in trading activity.
Composite Calculation:
The three components are summed together to produce the final index value, which is then clipped to remain between -100 and +100.
Interpreting the Indicator
Indicator Value Scale:
Positive Values (0 to +100):
Suggest that bullish forces are stronger. Higher values (e.g., above +50) could indicate a strong bullish sentiment.
Negative Values (0 to -100):
Indicate bearish pressures. Lower values (e.g., below -50) may signal strong bearish conditions.
Zero Level:
The midline indicates a balanced market condition with no dominant trend.
Key Horizontal Levels:
+50 Level:
When the indicator crosses above +50, it can be interpreted as a strong bullish signal.
-50 Level:
When the indicator crosses below -50, it can be considered a strong bearish signal.
Usage Tips
Confirmation Tool:
Use the Cognitive Echo Index as an additional confirmation tool in conjunction with other technical indicators or chart patterns to make more informed trading decisions.
Parameter Adjustments:
The script uses a 14-period setting for the moving average, ATR, and volume SMA by default. Depending on your trading timeframe or asset, consider tweaking these periods for better sensitivity.
Trend Analysis:
Watch how the indicator behaves during major price moves. A divergence between the index and the price trend (e.g., price rises while the index falls) may suggest a potential reversal or a false breakout.
Risk Management:
Always incorporate sound risk management practices. Use stop losses and position sizing rules, and consider the indicator as one part of your overall trading strategy.
Customization
Adjusting the Weights:
Although the current version gives equal weight to all three components, advanced users can modify the script to apply different weights to the price, volatility, and volume components based on historical performance or specific market conditions.
Adding Additional Inputs:
Future versions could incorporate external sentiment data or other technical factors if accessible. For now, the indicator focuses on technical inputs available directly within TradingView.
By following this guide, traders can integrate the Cognitive Echo Index into their TradingView platform to gain a unique perspective on market momentum and potential turning points. Enjoy testing and refining the indicator to better suit your trading style!
BTC Future Gamma-Weighted Momentum Model (BGMM)The BTC Future Gamma-Weighted Momentum Model (BGMM) is a quantitative trading strategy that utilizes the Gamma-weighted average price (GWAP) in conjunction with a momentum-based approach to predict price movements in the Bitcoin futures market. The model combines the concept of weighted price movements with trend identification, where the Gamma factor amplifies the weight assigned to recent prices. It leverages the idea that historical price trends and weighting mechanisms can be utilized to forecast future price behavior.
Theoretical Background:
1. Momentum in Financial Markets:
Momentum is a well-established concept in financial market theory, referring to the tendency of assets to continue moving in the same direction after initiating a trend. Any observed market return over a given time period is likely to continue in the same direction, a phenomenon known as the “momentum effect.” Deviations from a mean or trend provide potential trading opportunities, particularly in highly volatile assets like Bitcoin.
Numerous empirical studies have demonstrated that momentum strategies, based on price movements, especially those correlating long-term and short-term trends, can yield significant returns (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993). Given Bitcoin’s volatile nature, it is an ideal candidate for momentum-based strategies.
2. Gamma-Weighted Price Strategies:
Gamma weighting is an advanced method of applying weights to price data, where past price movements are weighted by a Gamma factor. This weighting allows for the reinforcement or reduction of the influence of historical prices based on an exponential function. The Gamma factor (ranging from 0.5 to 1.5) controls how much emphasis is placed on recent data: a value closer to 1 applies an even weighting across periods, while a value closer to 0 diminishes the influence of past prices.
Gamma-based models are used in financial analysis and modeling to enhance a model’s adaptability to changing market dynamics. This weighting mechanism is particularly advantageous in volatile markets such as Bitcoin futures, as it facilitates quick adaptation to changing market conditions (Black-Scholes, 1973).
Strategy Mechanism:
The BTC Future Gamma-Weighted Momentum Model (BGMM) utilizes an adaptive weighting strategy, where the Bitcoin futures prices are weighted according to the Gamma factor to calculate the Gamma-Weighted Average Price (GWAP). The GWAP is derived as a weighted average of prices over a specific number of periods, with more weight assigned to recent periods. The calculated GWAP serves as a reference value, and trading decisions are based on whether the current market price is above or below this level.
1. Long Position Conditions:
A long position is initiated when the Bitcoin price is above the GWAP and a positive price movement is observed over the last three periods. This indicates that an upward trend is in place, and the market is likely to continue in the direction of the momentum.
2. Short Position Conditions:
A short position is initiated when the Bitcoin price is below the GWAP and a negative price movement is observed over the last three periods. This suggests that a downtrend is occurring, and a continuation of the negative price movement is expected.
Backtesting and Application to Bitcoin Futures:
The model has been tested exclusively on the Bitcoin futures market due to Bitcoin’s high volatility and strong trend behavior. These characteristics make the market particularly suitable for momentum strategies, as strong upward or downward movements are often followed by persistent trends that can be captured by a momentum-based approach.
Backtests of the BGMM on the Bitcoin futures market indicate that the model achieves above-average returns during periods of strong momentum, especially when the Gamma factor is optimized to suit the specific dynamics of the Bitcoin market. The high volatility of Bitcoin, combined with adaptive weighting, allows the model to respond quickly to price changes and maximize trading opportunities.

GWAP (Gamma Weighted Average Price)Gamma Weighted Average Price (GWAP) Indicator
The Gamma Weighted Average Price (GWAP) is a dynamic financial indicator that applies exponentially decaying weights to historical prices to calculate a weighted average. The method leverages the exponential decay function, controlled by a gamma factor, to prioritize recent price data while gradually diminishing the influence of older observations. This approach builds upon techniques commonly found in time-series analysis, including Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA), which are extensively used in financial modeling (Campbell, Lo & MacKinlay, 1997).
Theoretical Context and Justification
The gamma-weighted approach follows principles similar to those in Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA), often used in volatility modeling, where weights decay exponentially over time. The exponential decay model can improve signal responsiveness compared to simple moving averages (Hyndman & Athanasopoulos, 2018). This design helps capture recent market dynamics without ignoring past trends, a common requirement in high-frequency trading systems (Bandi & Russell, 2006).
Practical Applications
1. Trend Detection:
The GWAP can help identify bullish and bearish trends:
• When the price is above GWAP, the market exhibits bullish momentum.
• Conversely, when the price is below GWAP, bearish momentum prevails.
2. Volatility Filtering:
Because of the gamma weighting mechanism, GWAP reduces the noise commonly seen in volatile markets, making it a useful tool for traders looking to smooth price fluctuations while retaining actionable signals.
3. Crossovers for Trade Signals:
Similar to moving average strategies, traders can use price crossovers with the GWAP as trade signals:
• Buy Signal: When the price crosses above the GWAP.
• Sell Signal: When the price crosses below the GWAP.
4. Adaptive Gamma Weighting:
The gamma factor allows for further customization.
• Higher gamma values (>1) place greater emphasis on older data, suitable for long-term trend analysis.
• Lower gamma values (<1) heavily weight recent price movements, ideal for fast-moving markets.
Example Use Case
A trader analyzing the S&P 500 may use a gamma factor of 0.92 with a 14-period GWAP to detect shifts in market sentiment during periods of heightened volatility. When the index price crosses above the GWAP, this could signal a potential recovery, prompting a buy entry. Conversely, when the price moves below the GWAP during a correction, it may suggest a short-selling opportunity.

Sma Indicator with Ratio (pr)SMA Indicator with Ratio (PR) is a technical analysis tool designed to provide insights into the relationship between multiple Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) across different time frames. This indicator combines three key SMAs: the 111-period SMA, 730-period SMA, and 1400-period SMA. Additionally, it introduces a ratio-based approach, where the 730-period SMA is multiplied by factors of 2, 3, 4, and 5, allowing users to analyze potential market trends and price movements in relation to different SMA levels.
What Does This Indicator Do?
The primary function of this indicator is to track the movement of prices in relation to several SMAs with varying periods. By visualizing these SMAs, users can quickly identify:
Short-term trends (111-period SMA)
Medium-term trends (730-period SMA)
Long-term trends (1400-period SMA)
Additionally, the multiplied versions of the 730-period SMA provide deeper insights into potential price reactions at different levels of market volatility.
How Does It Work?
The 111-period SMA tracks the shorter-term price trend and can be used for identifying quick market movements.
The 730-period SMA represents a longer-term trend, helping users gauge overall market sentiment and direction.
The 1400-period SMA acts as a very long-term trend line, giving users a broad perspective on the market’s movement.
The ratio-based SMAs (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x of the 730-period SMA) allow for an enhanced understanding of how the price reacts to higher or lower volatility levels. These ratios are useful for identifying key support and resistance zones in a dynamic market environment.
Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator is useful for traders and analysts who want to track the interaction of price with different moving averages, enabling them to make more informed decisions about potential trend reversals or continuations. The added ratio-based values enhance the ability to predict how the market might react at different levels.
How to Use It?
Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the indicator to confirm the direction of the market. If the price is above the 111, 730, or 1400-period SMA, it may indicate an uptrend, and if below, a downtrend.
Support/Resistance Levels: The multiplied versions of the 730-period SMA (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x) can be used as dynamic support or resistance levels. When the price approaches or crosses these levels, it might indicate a change in the trend.
Volatility Insights: By observing how the price behaves relative to these SMAs, traders can gauge market volatility. Higher multiples of the 730-period SMA can signal more volatile periods where price movements are more pronounced.
