Trailing Take Profit - Close Based📝 Description
This script demonstrates a new approach to the trailing take profit.
Trailing Take Profit is a price-following technique. When used, instead of setting a limit order for the take profit target exiting from your position at the specified price, a stop order is conditionally set when the take profit target is reached. Then, the stop price (a.k.a trailing price), is placed below the take profit target at a distance defined by the user percentagewise. On regular time intervals, the stop price gets updated by following the "Trail Barrier" price (high by default) upwards. When the current price hits the stop price you exit the trade. Check the chart for more details.
This script demonstrates how to implement the close-based Trailing Take Profit logic for long positions, but it can also be applied for short positions if the logic is "reversed".
📢 NOTE
To generate some entries and showcase the "Trailing Take Profit" technique, this script uses the crossing of two moving averages. Please keep in mind that you should not relate the Backtesting results you see in the "Strategy Tester" tab with the success of the technique itself.
This is not a complete strategy per se, and the backtest results are affected by many parameters that are outside of the scope of this publication. If you choose to use this new approach of the "Trailing Take Profit" in your logic you have to make sure that you are backtesting the whole strategy.
⚔️ Comparison
In contrast to my older "Trailing Take Profit" publication where the trailing take profit implementation was tick-based, this new approach is close-based, meaning that the update of the stop price occurs at the bar close instead of every tick.
While comparing the real-time results of the two implementations is like comparing apples to oranges, because they have different dynamic behavior, the new approach offers better consistency between the backtesting results and the real-time results.
By updating the stop price on every bar close, you do not rely on the backtester assumptions anymore (check the Reasoning section below for more info).
The new approach resembles the conditional "Trailing Exit" technique, where the condition is true when the current price crosses over the take profit target. Then, the stop order is placed at the trailing price and it gets updated on every bar close to "follow" the barrier price (high). On the other hand, the older tick-based approach had more "tight" dynamics since the trailing price gets updated on every tick leaving less room for price fluctuations by making it more probable to reach the trailing price.
🤔 Reasoning
This new close-based approach addresses several practical issues the older tick-based approach had. Those issues arise mainly from the technicalities of the TV Backtester. More specifically, due to the assumptions the Broker Emulator makes for the price action of the history bars, the backtesting results in the TV Backtester are exaggerated, and depending on the timeframe, the backtesting results look way better than they are in reality.
The effect above, and the inability to reason about the performance of a strategy separated people into two groups. Those who never use this feature, because they couldn't know for sure the actual effect it might have in their strategy, (even if it turned out to be more profitable) and those who abused this type of "repainting" behavior to show off, and hijack some boosts from the community by boasting about the "fake" results of their strategies.
Even if there are ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the tick-based approach that is applied in an existing strategy (this is out of the topic of this publication), it requires extra effort to do the analysis. Using this closed-based approach we can have more predictable results, without surprises.
⚠️ Caveats
Since this approach updates the trailing price on bar close, you must wait for at least one bar to close after the price crosses over the take profit target.

Moving Average Crossover Strategy by AI and Anton ThomasDescription:
Indicator Name: Moving Average Crossover Strategy
Overview:
The "Moving Average Crossover Strategy" is a technical analysis indicator that combines moving averages and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify potential buy and sell signals. It aims to capture trend reversals and momentum shifts in the market.
Key Components:
Moving Averages:
The indicator calculates two moving averages:
Fast Moving Average (10-period SMA): This average reacts more quickly to price changes.
Slow Moving Average (30-period SMA): This average provides a smoother trend indication.
A bullish signal occurs when the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average (golden cross), indicating a potential uptrend.
A bearish signal occurs when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average (death cross), indicating a potential downtrend.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
The RSI measures the strength and momentum of price movements on a scale of 0 to 100.
A reading above 70 indicates overbought conditions, suggesting a potential reversal to the downside.
A reading below 30 indicates oversold conditions, suggesting a potential reversal to the upside.
Trading Signals:
Buy Signal:
Generated when the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average (longCondition).
Additionally, a buy signal is identified when the RSI is oversold (below 30) and then crosses above the oversold threshold.
The indicator plots a green triangle above the bar to indicate the buy signal.
Sell Signal:
Generated when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average (shortCondition).
Additionally, a sell signal is identified when the RSI is overbought (above 70) and then crosses below the overbought threshold.
The indicator plots a red triangle below the bar to indicate the sell signal.
Additional Features:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern:
Detects bullish engulfing candlestick patterns, indicating potential bullish reversals.
Plots a green triangle below the bar to highlight the bullish engulfing pattern.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern:
Detects bearish engulfing candlestick patterns, indicating potential bearish reversals.
Plots a red triangle above the bar to highlight the bearish engulfing pattern.
Oversold and Overbought Levels:
Plots horizontal dashed lines at 30 (oversold) and 70 (overbought) on the RSI indicator.
Usage:
Traders can use this indicator to identify potential entry and exit points in the market based on moving average crossovers, RSI conditions, and candlestick patterns. It provides a comprehensive view of trend direction and momentum.
Considerations:
Always confirm signals with other technical analysis tools and market conditions.
Implement proper risk management strategies to minimize potential losses.
Example:
A buy signal is generated when the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average, and the RSI is below 30 but crosses above it.
A sell signal is generated when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average, and the RSI is above 70 but crosses below it.

Trend Fusion: ADX&EMA+IchimokuTrend Fusion: ADX & EMA+Ichimoku is an innovative indicator designed to provide traders with comprehensive insights into market trends. Combining the power of the Average Directional Index (ADX) with Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and the Ichimoku Cloud, this indicator offers a sophisticated approach to trend analysis.
This indicator stands out for its unique integration of multiple trend-following indicators, offering traders a holistic view of market dynamics. Unlike traditional trend indicators that focus solely on price movements, Trend Fusion incorporates the ADX, EMA, and Ichimoku Cloud to provide a more nuanced understanding of trend strength and direction. By combining these indicators, traders can make more informed decisions and enhance their trading strategies.
How it works:
Trend Fusion generates buy and sell signals based on the convergence of these indicators. A combination of strong ADX readings, EMA crossovers, and alignment with the Ichimoku Cloud confirms trend direction and provides entry and exit points for traders.
Average Directional Index (ADX): Measures the strength of the prevailing trend by analyzing price movements. A rising ADX indicates a strengthening trend, while a falling ADX suggests weakening momentum.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): Detects potential trend reversals through crossover signals. A bullish crossover (fast EMA crossing above slow EMA) suggests an uptrend, while a bearish crossover indicates a downtrend.
Ichimoku Cloud: Provides support and resistance levels along with trend direction. Price movements above the cloud indicate bullish sentiment, while movements below the cloud suggest bearish sentiment.
How to use
Colour codes:
Green Candles: Represent a strong uptrend, indicating robust buying momentum. The intensity of green color deepens with increasing trend strength.
Red Candles: Indicate a strong downtrend, signaling significant selling pressure in the market. The intensity of red color deepens with increasing trend strength.
Yellow Candles: Suggest a weak trend, characterized by indecision and lack of clear direction. The intensity of yellow color varies based on the strength of the trend, with lighter shades indicating weaker trends and darker shades suggesting slightly stronger trends.
Trend Strength: Monitor the ADX to gauge the strength of the prevailing trend. Higher ADX values indicate stronger trends, while lower values suggest weaker trends.
Trend Direction: Confirm trend direction using EMA crossovers and Ichimoku Cloud signals. Look for bullish crossovers and price movements above the cloud for uptrends, and bearish crossovers and movements below the cloud for downtrends.
Entry and Exit Signals: Enter trades when all components align, signaling a strong trend. Use EMA crossovers and cloud confirmations to identify potential entry points, and consider exiting trades when these signals reverse.
The ADX calculation and signal logic are based on the ADX script by PineCoders, with modifications to integrate it into this indicator.
The EMA crossover logic is adapted from the GDAX EMA Cross script by stefano98.
The Ichimoku Cloud calculation and plotting are adapted from the Ichimoku Cloud script by lonesometheblue.
Trading involves risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. It is recommended to use this indicator alongside other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies.

Speedometer RevisitedSpeedometer Revisited is a new way to draw custom metric speedometers and is intended to be a utility for other coders to use.
@rumpypumpydumpy originally introduced the Speedometer Toolkit in version 4 of Pine Script. Since then, Pine Script has been updated to version 5, introducing some amazing new features such as polylines and chart.points. This indicator is an example of what can be done with these newer features.
The indicator starts off with a handful of functions that will be used to create the drawings. Notes are left throughout the code explaining what each line of the functions does. My goal was to make these functions user-friendly and somewhat easy to understand. I then demonstrate two examples: one speedometer with five segments and another with three.
The first example demonstrates how to visually represent the analysts' ratings for a stock using the built-in syminfo.recommendations. The speedometer is divided into five segments, each representing a different level of analyst recommendation: strong sell, sell, hold, buy, and strong buy.
Each segment is drawn using a polyline from the createSeg function, with colors assigned as follows:
Red for 'Strong Sell'
Maroon for 'Sell'
Yellow for 'Hold'
Green for 'Buy'
Lime for 'Strong Buy'
The script identifies the maximum value among the analyst ratings, calculates the midpoint of the corresponding segment, and draws a needle pointing to this midpoint.
The second example employs the speedometer design to display market sentiment through the put-call ratio. The put-call ratio is a gauge of investor sentiment, where values above 1 indicate a bearish sentiment (more puts being bought relative to calls), and values below 1 suggest a bullish outlook (more calls being bought relative to puts).
The speedometer is divided into three segments, reflecting different ranges of the put-call ratio:
Red for a ratio greater than 1 (bearish sentiment)
Yellow for a ratio between 0.8 and 1 (neutral to bearish sentiment)
Lime for a ratio less than 0.8 (bullish sentiment)
Depending on the value of the put-call ratio, the script calculates which segment the current value falls into and determines the appropriate segment number. The script calculates the midpoint of the selected segment and draws a needle pointing to this value.
Both examples show how the speedometer can be used as a visual indicator of certain market conditions, helping traders quickly recognize trends and adjust their strategies accordingly.
A big thanks to @rumpypumpydumpy for his original Speedometer Toolbox. I hope this take on it can be useful for other coders.

Murrey Math
The Murrey Math indicator is a set of horizontal price levels, calculated from an algorithm developed by stock trader T.J. Murray.
The main concept behind Murrey Math is that prices tend to react and rotate at specific price levels. These levels are calculated by dividing the price range into fixed segments called "ranges", usually using a number of 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256.
Murrey Math levels are calculated as follows:
1. A particular price range is taken, for example, 128.
2. Divide the current price by the range (128 in this example).
3. The result is rounded to the nearest whole number.
4. Multiply that whole number by the original range (128).
This results in the Murrey Math level closest to the current price. More Murrey levels are calculated and drawn by adding and subtracting multiples of the range to the initially calculated level.
Traders use Murrey Math levels as areas of possible support and resistance as it is believed that prices tend to react and pivot at these levels. They are also used to identify price patterns and possible entry and exit points in trading.
The Murrey Math indicator itself simply calculates and draws these horizontal levels on the price chart, allowing traders to easily visualize them and use them in their technical analysis.
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR?
To use the Murrey Math indicator effectively, here are some tips:
1. Choose the appropriate Murrey Math range : The Murrey Math range input (128 by default in the provided code) determines the spacing between the levels. Common ranges used are 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256. A smaller range will give you more levels, while a larger range will give you fewer levels. Choose a range that suits the volatility and trading timeframe you're working with.
2. Identify potential support and resistance levels: The horizontal lines drawn by the indicator represent potential support and resistance levels based on the Murrey Math calculation. Prices often react or reverse at these levels, so they can be used to spot areas of interest for entries and exits.
3. Look for price reactions at the levels: Watch for price action like rejections, bounces, or breakouts at the Murrey Math levels. These reactions can signal potential trend continuation or reversal setups.
4. Trail stop-loss orders: You can place stop-loss orders just below/above the nearest Murrey Math level to manage risk if the price moves against your trade.
5. Set targets at future levels: Project potential profit targets by looking at upcoming Murrey Math levels in the direction of the trend.
7. Adjust range as needed: If prices are consistently breaking through levels without reacting, try adjusting the range input to a different value to see if it provides better levels.
In which asset can this indicator perform better?
The Murrey Math indicator can potentially perform well on any liquid financial asset that exhibits some degree of mean-reversion or trading range behavior. However, it may be more suitable for certain asset classes or trading timeframes than others.
Here are some assets and scenarios where the Murrey Math indicator can potentially perform better:
1. Forex Markets: The foreign exchange market is known for its ranging and mean-reverting nature, especially on higher timeframes like the daily or weekly charts. The Murrey Math levels can help identify potential support and resistance levels within these trading ranges.
2. Futures Markets: Futures contracts, such as those for commodities (e.g., crude oil, gold, etc.) or equity indices, often exhibit trading ranges and mean-reversion trends. The Murrey Math indicator can be useful in identifying potential turning points within these ranges.
3. Stocks with Range-bound Behavior: Some stocks, particularly those of large-cap companies, can trade within well-defined ranges for extended periods. The Murrey Math levels can help identify the boundaries of these ranges and potential reversal points.
4. I ntraday Trading: The Murrey Math indicator may be more effective on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour, 30-minute, 15-minute) for intraday trading, as prices tend to respect support and resistance levels more closely within shorter time periods.
5. Trending Markets: While the Murrey Math indicator is primarily designed for range-bound markets, it can also be used in trending markets to identify potential pullback or continuation levels.
1995-Present - Inflation and Purchasing PowerGood day, everyone! Today, we're going to look at a chart that's a bit different from the usual price charts we analyse. This isn't just any chart; it's a lens into the past, adjusted for the reality of inflation—a concept we often hear about but seldom see directly applied to our trading charts.
What we have here is an 'Inflation Adjusted Price' indicator on TradingView, and it's doing something quite special. It's showing us the price of our asset, let's say the S&P 500, not just in today's dollars, but in the dollars of 1995. Why 1995, you ask? Well, it's the starting point we've chosen to measure how much actual buying power has changed since then.
So, every point on this red line we see represents what the S&P 500's value would be if we stripped away the effects of inflation. This is the price in terms of what your money could actually buy you back in 1995.
As traders and investors, we're always looking at prices going up and thinking, 'Great! My investment is growing!' But the real question we should ask is, 'Is my money growing in real terms? Can it buy me more than it did last year, or five, ten, or twenty-five years ago?'
This chart tells us exactly that. If the red line is above the actual price, it means that the S&P 500 has not just grown in nominal terms, but it has actually outpaced inflation. Your investment has grown in real terms; it can buy you more now than it could back in 1995.
On the flip side, if the red line is below the actual price, that's a sign that while the nominal price might be up, the real value, the purchasing power, hasn't grown as much or could even have fallen.
This view is crucial, especially for the long-term investors among us. It gives us a reality check on our investments and savings. Are we truly growing our wealth, or are we just keeping up with the cost of living? This indicator answers that.
Remember, the true measure of financial growth is not just the numbers on a chart. It's what you can do with those numbers—how much bread, or eggs, or yes, even houses, you can buy with your hard-earned money
BTC Purchasing Power 2009-20XX! Hello, today I'm going to show you something that shifts our perspective on Bitcoin's value, not just in nominal terms, but adjusted for the real buying power over the years. This Pine Script TAS developed for TradingView does exactly that by taking into account inflation rates from 2009 to the present.
As you know, inflation erodes the purchasing power of money. That $100 in 2009 does not buy you the same amount in goods or services today. The same concept applies to Bitcoin. While we often look at its price in terms of dollars, pounds, or euros, it's crucial to understand what that price really means in terms of purchasing power.
What this script does is adjust the price of Bitcoin for cumulative inflation since 2009, allowing us to see not just how the nominal price has changed, but how its value as a means of purchasing goods and services has evolved.
For example, if we see Bitcoin's price at $60,000 today, that number might seem high compared to its early years. However, when we adjust this price for inflation, we might find that in terms of 2009's purchasing power, the effective price might be somewhat lower. This adjusted price gives us a more accurate reflection of Bitcoin's true value over time.
This script plots two lines on the chart:
The Original BTC Price: This is the unadjusted price of Bitcoin as we typically see it.
BTC Purchasing Power: This line shows Bitcoin's price adjusted for inflation, reflecting how many goods or services Bitcoin could buy at that point in time compared to 2009.
By comparing these lines, we can observe periods where Bitcoin's purchasing power significantly increased, even if the nominal price was not at its peak. This can help us identify moments when Bitcoin was undervalued or overvalued in real terms.
This analysis is crucial for long-term investors and traders who want to understand Bitcoin's value beyond the surface-level price movements. It helps us appreciate Bitcoin's potential as a store of value, especially in contexts where traditional currencies are losing purchasing power due to inflation.
Remember, investing is not just about riding price waves; it's about understanding the underlying value. And that's precisely what this script helps us to uncover
Vertical line at 8 AMThis indicator plots a blue vertical line on the chart when it's 8 AM, providing a clear visual reference of this time point on the TradingView chart.
Gradient Candles
The Gradient Candles indicator is crafted to be a comprehensive replacement for default candlesticks, offering users an enhanced and visually stunning alternative. To experience the intended results and fully immerse in the distinctive features of Gradient Candles, it's recommended to hide the default candlesticks. This ensures that traders can fully appreciate the unique color gradient and dynamic visual representation that this indicator brings to chart analysis.
Designed to elevate chart analysis, Gradient Candles not only offer a fresh perspective on price movements but also captivate users with their visually appealing representation of market dynamics. Departing from traditional candlestick coloration, the dynamic adaptation of colors, the 'color.from_gradient()' function plays a pivotal role in translating the current source value into a color that reflects its proximity to the highest and lowest values and corresponding colors. Beyond its analytical capabilities, Gradient Candles transform market analysis into an aesthetically enriching experience, providing traders with a unique and comprehensive tool for their technical analysis toolkit.
Traders can tailor the indicator's appearance to suit their preferences and seamlessly integrate it into their personal trading environment. From color inversion to transparency adjustments and the option to fill candles instead of outlining them, the customization features empower users to create a visual representation that aligns precisely with their unique preferences.

It's crucial for you guys to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each indicator and identify synergies between them to improve the strategy's effectiveness.
Indicator Settings:
DMI (Directional Movement Index):
Length: This parameter determines the number of bars used in calculating the DMI. A higher length may provide smoother results but might lag behind the actual price action.
Bollinger Bands:
Length: This parameter specifies the number of bars used to calculate the moving average for the Bollinger Bands. A longer length results in a smoother average but might lag behind the price action.
Multiplier: The multiplier determines the width of the Bollinger Bands. It scales the standard deviation of the price data. A higher multiplier leads to wider bands, indicating increased volatility, while a lower multiplier results in narrower bands, suggesting decreased volatility.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC):
Length: This parameter defines the length of the STC calculation. A longer length may result in smoother but slower-moving signals.
Fast Length: Specifies the length of the fast moving average component in the STC calculation.
Slow Length: Specifies the length of the slow moving average component in the STC calculation.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Fast Length: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in the MACD.
Slow Length: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA in the MACD.
Signal Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the signal line, which is typically an EMA of the MACD line.
Momentum Indicator:
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which momentum is calculated. A longer length may provide smoother momentum readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
Aroon Indicator:
Length: Specifies the number of bars over which the Aroon indicator calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother Aroon readings but might lag behind significant market movements.
Supertrend Indicator:
Trendline Length: Determines the length of the period used in the Supertrend calculation. A longer length results in a smoother trendline but might lag behind recent price changes.
Trendline Factor: Specifies the multiplier used in calculating the trendline. It affects the sensitivity of the indicator to price changes.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which RSI calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother RSI readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Fast EMA: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA. A shorter period results in a more responsive EMA to recent price changes.
Slow EMA: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA. A longer period results in a smoother EMA but might lag behind recent price changes.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Default settings are typically used for VWAP calculations, which consider the volume traded at each price level over a specific period. This indicator provides insights into the average price weighted by trading volume.
backtest range and rules:
You can specify the start date for backtesting purposes.

SHORT:
DMI Cross Down: The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicates a bearish trend when the negative directional movement (-DI) crosses above the positive directional movement (+DI).
Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is above the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting a potential reversal from the lower band.
Momentum Indicator: Momentum is negative, indicating increasing selling pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is below the signal line, signaling bearish momentum.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend indicator signals a downtrend.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): The STC indicates a bearish trend.
Aroon Indicator: The Aroon indicator signals a bearish trend or crossover.
When all these conditions align, the strategy considers it an opportune moment to enter a short trade.
Disclaimer:
THIS ISN'T AN OPTIMAL STRATEGY AT ALL! It was just an old project from when I started learning pine script!
The backtest doesn't promise the same results in the future, always do both in-sample and out-of-sample testing when backtesting a strategy. And make sure you forward test it as well before implementing it!
Furthermore this strategy uses both trend and mean-reversion systems, that is usually a no-go if you want to build robust trend systems .
Don't hesitate to comment if you have any questions or if you have some good notes for a beginner.
Aroon and ASH strategy - ETHERIUM [IkkeOmar]Intro:
This post introduces a Pine Script strategy, as an example if anyone needs a push to get started. This example is a strategy on ETH, obviously it isn't a good strategy, and I wouldn't share my own good strategies because of alpha decay. This strategy combines two technical indicators: Aroon and Absolute Strength Histogram (ASH).
Overview:
The strategy employs the Aroon indicator alongside the Absolute Strength Histogram (ASH) to determine market trends and potential trade setups. Aroon helps identify the strength and direction of a trend, while ASH provides insights into the strength of momentum. By combining these indicators, the strategy aims to capture profitable trading opportunities in Ethereum markets. Normally when developing strats using indicators, you want to find some good indicators, but you NEED to understand their strengths and weaknesses, other indicators can be incorporated to minimize the downs of another indicator. Try to look for synergy in your indicators!
Indicator settings:
Aroon Indicator:
- Two sets of parameters are used for the Aroon indicator:
- For Long Positions: Aroon periods are set to 56 (upper) and 20 (lower).
- For Short Positions: Aroon periods are set to 17 (upper) and 55 (lower).
Absolute Strength Histogram (ASH):
ASH is calculated with a length of 9 bars using the closing price as the data source.
Trading Conditions:
The strategy incorporates specific conditions to initiate and exit trades:
Start Date:
Traders can specify the start date for backtesting purposes.
Trade Direction:
Traders can select the desired trade direction: Long, Short, or Both.
Entry and Exit Conditions:
1. Long Position Entry: A long position is initiated when the Aroon indicator crosses over (crossover) the lower Aroon threshold, indicating a potential uptrend.
2. Long Position Exit: A long position is closed when the Aroon indicator crosses under (crossunder) the lower Aroon threshold.
3. Short Position Entry: A short position is initiated when the Aroon indicator crosses under (crossunder) the upper Aroon threshold, signaling a potential downtrend.
4. Short Position Exit: A short position is closed when the Aroon indicator crosses over (crossover) the upper Aroon threshold.

🔶 USAGE
Submit your answer to see if your solution is correct! For quick access to the settings, Double-Click on the Chess board to open the settings interface.
The current active color (Who's move it is) is represented by the color of the information bar, and the corner board squares.
This game uses long algebraic notation without pieces names for submitting moves.
This method for determining moves is perfect for simplicity and clarity, and is standard for the Universal Chess Interface (UCI).
🔹 How to Notate
Long algebraic notation (without pieces name) is simple to understand. This notation does not use capture symbols or check/checkmate symbols; it uses only the squares involved in the move and any promotion occurring.
{Starting Square}{Ending Square}{Promotion Piece(if needed)}
Locate the starting square and the ending square of the piece being moved, without mentioning the piece itself.
Identify the column letters (a-h) and row numbers (1-8) that align with your desired move.
If a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board the pawn gets promoted, add the letter representing the piece it is promoted to at the end of the move.
Put it all together and you've got your notation!
Piece Notations for Pawn Promotions:
'n' for Knight ('k' is reserved for the King in chess notation)
'b' for Bishop
'r' for Rook
'q' for Queen
Normal Move Example: Moving a piece from e2 to e4 is notated as "e2e4".
Pawn Promotion Example: Promoting a pawn to a queen is notated as "e7e8q".

Unbiased Replay CompanionWhen using bar replay mode on TradingView, you have to scroll your way back through clearly visible price history, which always leaves you with unwanted lookahead bias because you unfortunately see all future price movements before they are hidden by the use of the scissors tool.
This indicator provides a simple way to hide all the price action and displays a configurable bar counter instead, allowing you to scroll back to every moment in history without seeing any of the prices' movements. The bar counter hereby serves as a visual aid to guide you back to the very first available bar on the chart.
You can configure the color of the overlay to match your charts' background as well as the style of the bar counter and the distance at which the counter is being displayed.
The indicator crops the vertical price scale by a random amount (only when it is being displayed) to also prevent you from having any unwanted bias based on the current price range.
Whenever you're done scrolling and have used the replay scissors tool to start your session just hide the indicator and bring it up again when you need to scroll. That's all there is to it.
Important: After you apply the indicator to your charts, make sure it is displayed in front of everything else. You can configure this by clicking on the three dots that are displayed on the right side of the indicator name on hover and choose "Visual order > Bring to front" from the popup menu that appears.
Enjoy your unbiased backtesting sessions!
