Volatility Based Momentum (VBM)The Volatility Based Momentum (VBM) indicator is a variation on the rate-of-change (ROC) indicator. Instead of expressing momentum in a percentage gain or loss, VBM normalizes momentum using the historical volatility of the underlying security.
The VBM indicator offers numerous benefits to traders who orient their trading around volatility. For these traders, VBM expresses momentum in a normalized, universally applicable ‘multiples of volatility’ (MoV) unit. Given the universal applicability of MoV, VBM is especially suited to traders whose trading incorporates numerous timeframes, different types of securities (e.g., stocks, Forex pairs), or the frequent comparison of momentum between multiple securities.
The calculation for a volatility based momentum (VBM) indicator is very similar to ROC, but divides by the security’s historical volatility instead. The average true range indicator (ATR) is used to compute historical volatility.
VBM(n,v) = (Close - Close n periods ago) / ATR(v periods)
For example, on a daily chart, VBM(22,65) calculates how many MoV price has increased or decreased over the last 22 trading days (approximately one calendar month). The second parameter is the number of periods to use with the ATR indicator to normalize the momentum in terms of volatility.
For more details, there is an article further describing VBM and its applicability versus ROC.

[Backtest]QQE Cross v6.0 by JustUncleLDescription:
This is the Backtest version of the " QQE Cross v6.0 by JustUncleL" Tool, can be used to optimize settings.
[Alerts]QQE Cross v6.0 by JustUncleLDescription:
This is a major upgrade of my original QQE indicator Tool, this version is directed at Forex and Crypto Margin trading. This version can also be used with AutoView/ProfitView Chrome add-on in a semi-automatic (turn on only when conditions are favorable) or automatic way, with Signal to Signal or Signal to Close trading.
This is a Trend following indicator that uses fast QQE crosses to capture swings in direction of the main Trend. Alerts are filtered with Two Moving Average Ribbons and/or Direction of MAs. The QQE or Qualitative Quantitative Estimation is based on the relative strength index (RSI), but uses a smoothing technique as an additional transformation. Three crosses can be selected (all selected by default):
Smooth RSI signal crossing ZERO (XZ)
Smooth RSI signal crossing Fast QQE line (XQ), this is like an early warning swing signal.
Smooth RSI signal exiting the RSI Threshhold Channel (XC), this is like a confirmed swing signal. An optimal Smooth RSI threshold level is between 5% and 10% (default=10), it helps reduce the false swings.
These signals can be selected to Open Short/Long and/or Close a trade, default is XC open trade and XQ (or opposite open) to Close trade.
The (LONG/SHORT) alerts can be optionally filtered by the Moving Average Ribbons:
For LONG alert the Close must be above the fast MA Ribbon and fast MA Ribbon must be above the slow MA Ribbon.
For SHORT alert the Close must be below the fast MA Ribbon and fast MA Ribbon must be below the slow MA Ribbon.
and/or directional filter:
For LONG alert the Close must be above the medium MA and the directional of both MA ribbons must be Bullish.
For SELL alert the Close must be below the medium MA and the directional of both MA ribbons must be Bearish.
This indicator is designed to be used as a Signal to Signal trading BOT in automatic or semi-automatic way (start and stop when conditions are suitable).
For LONG and SHORT alerts I recommend you use "Once per Bar" alarm option
For CLOSE alerts I recommend you use "Once per Bar Close" alarm option
(* The script has been designed so that long/short signals come at start of candles *)
(* and close signals come at the end of candles *)
Market direction and pullback based on S&P 500.A simple indicator based on www.swing-trade-stocks.com The link is also the guide for how to use it.
0 - nothing. If the indicator is showing 0 for a prolonged amount of time, it is likely the market is in "momentum mode" (referred to in the link above).
1 - indicates an uptrend based on SMA and EMA and also a place where a reversal to the upside is likely to occur. You should look only for long trades in the stock market when you see a spike upwards and S&P 500 is showing an obvious uptrend.
-1 - indicates a downtrend based on SMA and EMA and also a place where a reversal to the downside is likely to occur. You should look only for short trades in the stock market when you see a spike upwards and S&P 500 is showing an obvious uptrend.
Complete Trend Trading System [Fhenry0331]This system was designed for the beginner trader to make money swing trading. Your losses will be small and your gains will be mostly large. You will show consistent profit. Period.
The system works on any security you like to trade. I used GBPUSD as an example because of the up swing and down swing it had recently. I tried to put as much information of how the system works in the chart. Hope it helps and is not to cluttered.
I will reiterate how the system works here: Everything is based off of closed price.
Legend
Uptrend: Buy
Green bar: initial start of an uptrend or uptrend continuing. Place order above that bar. If the initial bar does not stray too far from the MVWAP , I will place orders above subsequent bars if no filled occurred.
If initial start of the trend is missed, I will wait for the pullback. A pullback is a close below the MVWAP, and a close above the EMA (Low), RSI is above 50. Orders are placed above the pullback bars with plotted char "B" and also plotted green triangle up. Again orders are placed above those bars. the bars do not notate automatic buys. Don't chase anything. You will miss the initial bar on something because of news or earnings and it rocket up. Just wait, it will pullback. If it doesn't, to hell with it, on to the next.
Take profits: In the indicator you will see "T." That notates to take some profits. It is a suggestion. I was always told to take profits into spikes, as well as you can never lose money if you take profits. Up to you if you want to scale out and take the suggested profits or not.
Exit Completely: In an uptrend, close your entire position on bars colored yellow or red. (Again, closed bars)
In uptrend bars colored orange and black, do nothing, they are just pullback bars. Look for the buy pullback signal, then follow pullback buy rules for an uptrend.
Downtrend: Short
Red bar: initial start of a downtrend or downtrend continuing. Place order below the bar. If the initial bar does not stray too far fro the MVWAP, place orders below subsequent bars.
If initial start on the downtrend is missed, wait for the pullback. A pullback is a close above the MVWAP, and close below the EMA(Low). RSI is below 50. Orders are placed below the pullback bars with the plotted char "S" and also plotted red triangle. Again those bars are not automatic shorts, orders are placed below them. Don't chase anything. Wait for price to come into your plan. The idea FOMO is the stupidest thing ever, how can you miss out on something when it is always there. The market is always there and something will come into your zone. Chill.
"T": same as in uptrend, suggestion to take some profits.
Exit Completely: In a downtrend, close your entire position on bars colored orange or green.
In downtrend you will see bars colored yellow and black, do nothing, they are pullback bars. Look for the pullback short signal and follow pullback short rules.
If you have any questions get at me. Take a look at it on what you trade. Flip it through different securities.
Best of luck in all you do.
P.S. You should not take a trade right before earnings. You should also exit a trade right before earnings.
Simple TrenderOriginates from:
I was reading some Impulse Trading literature by A. Elder.. In it, someone named Kerry Lovvorn proposed "An End of Day Trend Following System" for someone lazy.
Originally it is just price closing above an 8 ema (low) for long. Exit when price closes below an 8 ema (low). The opposite for a short position.
Conditions: Buy when price closed below ema (low) for two bars or more, then closes above. Opposite for a short position. I do not follow this condition. Though it may help with whipsaw.
My condition is when price closes above the 26 ema (low) (works the best for me) I place orders above the initial crossing bars high. Opposite for lows.
I look for stocks that are low in price to go long on. I want the run from 2's to 15's
I look for stocks that are mid-teens/20's in price to go short on. I want the run from 20's to 2's
I look for stock with news and earnings that are already running (up or down) to play the pullback.
These conditions can easily be scanned for on thinkorswim
From first glance, the system looks like CMsling shotsystem. Although, I plagiarized some parts of the codes, because I am inept when it comes to that shit, it differs as it is not a moving average crossover system.
It is a price crossing over concept. A moving average VWAP is used for best entries on pullbacks.
Purpose:
--To catch the majority of a trend/wave/run.
--To identify pullback areas to go long or short while in midst of trend. To catch pullbacks off news and earning runners.
--To catch the initial start of trend with clear rules to enter
--Clear rules to exit
Issues
--possibilities of getting ninja sliced the fuck up. Can be mitigated by entering stocks with decent average volume. And also only going long above 200 ema and short below it. ADX won't work, at the initial start of the trend it will show not trending. Can look at blow off volume at the bottom followed by increase in buying for long and vice versa for short.
--Can give some huge gains away through gap ups or gap downs from news or earnings during trend. However, can get huge gain on gaps from news or earning. Nature of the game.
--Need some brass balls and a supply of pepto to stomach through some of the pullbacks. Gut wrenching seeing big gains dwindle. But they all even out at the end, you hope. (see NBEV and IGC, and CRON and others. shit don't go in straight lines, homie)
Pros
--It's simple and easy. Overall, you profit
--works with any security
Cons
--It can be stressful.
--does not work well on lower time frames. Do not recommend going below 15 minutes
--Possibility of working on 5 minutes with a time frame breakout strategy (15,30 min).
Couple it with LazyBear "Weis Wave Volume" indicator. Works well for pullback entries.
Enjoy. Ride some waves.
Edge of MomentumThe script was designed for the purpose of catching the rocket portion of a move (the edge of momentum).
Long
--When RSI closes over 60, take long order 1 tick above that bar. The closed bar above RSI 60 will be colored "green" or whatever color the user chooses. (RSI > 60)
--On a long position, exit will be a closed bar below the ema (low, 10) . The closed bar below the ema will be colored "yellow." (Price < ema)
--Note: On a long position there is no need to exit when a closed bar is colored "purple." RSI is just below 60 but above 40. Pullback or chop
Short
--When RSI closes below 40, take a short order 1 tick below that bar. The closed bar below RSI 40 will be colored "red." RSI<40)
--On a short position, exit will be a closed bar above the ema (low, 10). The closed bar above the ema will be colored "purple." (Price > ema)
--Note: On a short position there is no need to exit when a closed bar is colored "yellow."
Note: You may see a series of purple and yellow bars, that is simply chop. I define chop as RSI moving between 60 and 40.
Trade should only be taken above green colored candle(long) and below red colored candle (short). No position should be taken off yellow or purple candle (chop)
Again this is designed to catch the momentum part of a move, and to help reduce some entries during chop. It is a simple systems that beginning traders can use and profit from.
Note: I don't no shit about coding scripts I just learn from reading others.
Enjoy. If you decide to use please drop me a line...suggestions/comments, etc.
Best of luck in all you do.
Mean-Reversion Swing Trading Strategy v1A port of the TradeStation EasyLanguage code for a mean-revision strategy described at
traders.com
"In “Mean-Reversion Swing Trading,” which appeared in the December 2016 issue of STOCKS & COMMODITIES, author Ken Calhoun
describes a trading methodology where the trader attempts to enter an existing trend after there has been a pullback.
He suggests looking for 50% pullbacks in strong trends and waiting for price to move back in the direction of the trend
before entering the trade."

[Tutorial] RSIwings (swings) for find pyramiding entries ->hh,llThis indicator show higher high + higher low and lower high + lower low -> based on RSI modification.
HOW I USE
On a longsetup I set a buyorder on the high, if the RSI swings show red the first time. My stoploss I choose on the lowest price from the red swing before.
After every ending bar without tradeentry I move the buyorder step by step on the last high till the price move up and the longtrade start.
The same game I use for sellorder with the green swings, if I want a shortsetup. Best times for this are retracements from a trendchannel i.e.
HOW I PYRAMIDING
From swing to swing with the same color I move my stoploss. If my risk are 100 USD and with the next moving stoploss are only 60 USD in risk, then I have 40 USD for my next pyramiding trade in the same trendsetup.
WHEN I MOVE MY STOPLOSS
If I have choose a stoploss, than this is fixed till the last highest/lowest price from the other swing is broken.
Any questions? Ask me!
BO Swing Finder R0.6 by JustUncleLThis indicator alert study attempts to detect confirmed Swing points. It uses Bollinger Band centre line crosses as the main signal. The main detection occurs by looking for the first BB centre line cross that was initiated from outside the Bollinger Channel (alternatively KC channel can be used).
The optional HullMA (any any other MA pair) are used to confirm the swing direction. The indicator also plots the two KitKat Support and Resistance lines with optional High/Low labelling on KitKat1 lines.
This indicator tool is suitable for any time frame and can be traded with Binary Option (even 1min) orders (2-3 candle expiry) or as Forex trade orders. It is suitable for Currencies, Cryptocurrencies and Metals. May also be useful on other markets as well.
The MA filtering options, each MA line can be a different type, with an optional offset:
SMA = Simple Moving Average.
EMA = Exponential Moving Average.
WMA = Weighted Moving Average
VWMA = Volume Weighted Moving Average
SMMA = Smoothed Simple Moving Average.
DEMA = Double Exponential Moving Average
TEMA = Triple Exponential Moving Average.
HullMA = Hull Moving Average, fast moving MA.
SSMA = Ehlers Super Smoother Moving average, similar results to HullMA.
ZEMA = Near Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average.
TMA = Triangular (smoothed) Simple Moving Average.
NOTE: The signal calculations do occur on the current candle, so the state of the signal may re-build until the current candle is closed. I have designed the script to behave this way on purpose. This gives traders the option of
preparing their trade early or even taking the trade early if they want. Otherwise the trader can be more conservative and wait for signal candle to close, to give them a confirmed signal. (This is NOT re-painting as the historical signal states are fixed and will not change, unless you change some setup options.)
Hints:
1) As with all indicator and alerting tools, not all signals will yield a tradable successful swing. You need to apply you own analysis on each signal to determine the probability of success.
2) When using the MA to filter the signals you should use it for two types of filtering:
Supportive that confirm swing like fast moving MAs with fairly short lengths, eg HullMA(21,25).
Long Term Direction with smoother longer length MAs like SMMA(180,220) to show up swings back into direction of the longer term trends.

Big Snapper Alerts R2.0 by JustUncleLThis is a diversified Binary Option or Scalping Alert indicator originally designed for lower Time Frame Trend or Swing trading. Although you will find it a useful tool for higher time frames as well.
The Alerts are generated by the changing direction of the ColouredMA (HullMA by default), you then have the choice of selecting the Directional filtering on these signals or a Bollinger swing reversal filter.
The filters include:
Type 1 - The three MAs (EMAs 21,55,89 by default) in various combinations or by themselves. When only one directional MA selected then direction filter is given by ColouredMA above(up)/below(down) selected MA. If more than one MA selected the direction is given by MAs being in correct order for trend direction.
Type 2 - The SuperTrend direction is used to filter ColouredMA signals.
Type 3 - Bollinger Band Outside In is used to filter ColouredMA for swing reversals.
Type 4 - No directional filtering, all signals from the ColouredMA are shown.
Notes:
Each Type can be combined with another type to form more complex filtration.
Alerts can also be disabled completely if you just want one indicator with one colouredMA and/or 3xMAs and/or Bollinger Bands and/or SuperTrend painted on the chart.
Warning:
Be aware that combining Bollinger OutsideIn swing filter and a directional filter can be counter productive as they are opposites. So careful consideration is needed when combining Bollinger OutsideIn with any of the directional filters.
Hints:
For Binary Options try ColouredMA = HullMA(13) or HullMA(8) with Type 2 or 3 Filter.
When using Trend filters SuperTrend and/or 3xMA Trend, you will find if price reverses and breaks back through the Big Fat Signal line, then this can be a good reversal trade.

Fractal and Alligator Alerts by JustUncleLThis is based on two well known Bill Williams Fractal and Alligator strategies.
The following code is an implementation is similar to reversal strategy specified here:
forexwot.com
and another well know Alligator break out strategy.
This was achieved by combining some of the ideas from two other indicators:
True Williams Alligator (SMMA) by the_batman
Fractals and Levels by JustUncleL
There are two types of Fractal + Alligator Strategies included in this indicator:
Fractal Reversal : In an uptrend defined by Low Fractal that is above the Alligator teeth and the Alligator mouth is completed open in an uptrend. The opposite for downtrends. (Green and Red Arrows)
Fractal BreakOut : In an uptrend, at the start of Alligator open we look back for the first Fractal High above Alligator Teeth. Alligator teeth must be above mouth. (Aqua and Fuchsia arrows)
Renko+Moving Average+RMI Alert R3 by JustUncleLThis script idea is designed to be used with 10pip brick (recommended) Renko charts. It combines the Renko price action with a directional coloured EMA (default length 6) and a RMI (instead of the usual RSI) indicator to provide entry and exit signals. RMI is bit like RSI with a built-in momentum factor and works well with Renko.
Signals can optionally be filtered by Daily or Weekly Open, where by only trade long above open and short below open (this option is enabled by default). Exit occur when EMA or RMI reverses direction, or optionally (disabled by default) when the Renko prints a brick in the reverse direction. Each Entry and Exit signal creates an Alertcondition that can be picked up by the TradingView Alarm system.
TIP: To get 10pip Bricks set Renko to "Traditional" type bricks and 0.001 for non-JPY currency pairs, and 0.1 for JPY currency pairs. Also set chart Time frame to 5min or 15mins.

20 Day Fade20 Day Fade from MarketGeeks, I like the idea!.
This indicator only looks at daily bars, regardless of what timeframe you are using.
We look for a new 20 day low that closes within the 25th percentile of it's daily range.
We also want our security to be in an uptrend.
Finally we are looking for the next day closing price (or current price) to be atleast 2% above the previous days (20 day low) high.
Once all these conditions are satisfied it produces the text bubble letting you know that it is prime to buy.
The next version I will update with short options as well.
One day I may convert this into a strategy, but probably not. If you want to, please feel free to. All I ask is that you give credit for the base code, as I have done for the idea behind this indicator.
Swing Trading System RSIThis is an RSI Swing Trading System roughly translated from backtestwizard.com . It uses ATR for profit target & stops. It uses a 26 week EMA filter to go long.
Swing Chart V1 by Phi35 © With this indicator, which plots the swing chart of the 3 degrees, swing traders can automate their work of tracking the right bars.
How it works:
Minor Degree (one bar) (gray)= If the current high is higher than the previous high or the current low is lower than the previous low.
Intermediate Degree (two bar) (baby blue)= If the current high is higher than previous and the penultimate high etc.
Main Degree (three bar) (red)= If the current high is higher than the previous, the penultimate and the high before penultimate high etc.
Alert:
On crossover there will be an alert (popup with a message) and in addition you will see "diamonds" on the place where the crossover took place
If there is an issue or any suggestions, feel free to contact me. Do not modify the code without permission.

SPY Master v1.0This is a simple swing trading algorithm that uses a fast RSI-EMA to trigger buy/cover signals and a slow RSI-EMA to trigger sell/short signals for SPY, an xchange-traded fund for the S&P 500.
The idea behind this strategy follows the premise that most profitable momentum trades usually occur during periods when price is trending up or down. Periods of flat price actions are usually where most unprofitable trades occur. Because we cannot predict exactly when trending periods will occur, the algorithm basically bets money on all trade opportunities during all market conditions. Despite an accuracy rate of only 40%, the algorithm's asymmetric risk/reward profile allows the average winner to be 2x the average loser. The end result is a positive (profitable) net payout.
TRADING RULES:
Buy/Cover = EMA3(RSI2) cross> 50
Sell/Short = EMA5(RSI2) cross< 50
BACKTEST SETTINGS:
- Period = March 2011 - Present
- Initial capital = $10,000
- Dividends excluded
- Trading costs excluded
PERFORMANCE COMPARISON:
There are 657 trades, which means 1,314 orders. Assuming each order costs $2 (what I pay for at Interactive Brokers), total trading costs should be $2,628.
-SPY (buy & hold) = 132.73 ---> 193.22 = +45.57% (dividends excluded)
-SPY Master v1.0 = $12,649 - $2,628 = $10,021 = +100.21%

Forex Master (EUR/USD)ATTENTION:
This is a symmetrical algorithm designed only for trading EUR/USD on the 1h time frame. For other currency pairs and time frames, you need to re-calibrate the RSI-EMAs as well as the profit targets and stop losses.
BACKTEST CONDITIONS:
Initial equity = $100,000 (no leverage)
Order size = 100% of equity
Pyramiding = disabled
TRADING RULES:
Long entry = EMA20(RSI10) cross> 50
Profit limit = 50 pips
Stop loss = 50 pips
Short entry = EMA30(RSI30) cross< 50
Profit limit = 50 pips
Stop loss = 50 pips
Long entry = Short exit
Short entry = long exit
