Trend

Dual Volatility StopThis merges Volatility Stop & its MTF version both published by u/TradingView . Background is colored green or red when both the current timeframe Vstop and higher timeframe Vstop point in same direction. Aim is to take the standard Vstop script which differentiates market from only uptrend/downtrend to uptrend/downtrend/sideways. There is a tradeoff with this, that there is no need for the Vstop to be always in a position which reduces trade time & frees up capital. However this leads to situations where it takes slightly more time to catch on to a trend after a reversal. Green Background = Buy Red Background = Sell No Background = Flat

SMA Directional Matrix [LuxAlgo]This script was created in collaboration with alexgrover and displays a simple & elegant panel showing the direction of simple moving averages with periods in a user-selected range (Min, Max). The displayed number in the panel is the period of a simple moving average and the symbol situated at the right of it is associated with the direction this moving average is taking. Settings Min: Minimum period of the moving average Max: Maximum period of the moving average Src: Source input of the moving averages Number Of Columns: Number of columns to be displayed in the panel, handy when using a large range of periods. Usage Looking at the direction of moving averages with different periods is extremely useful when it comes to having information about the short/mid/long term overall market sentiment, and can also tell us if the market is trending or ranging. Here we use periods ranging from 25 to 50, we can see that shorter moving averages react to the recent upward price variation, longer-term moving averages however are still affected by the overall downward variation you can see on the image. We can as such get information about the presence of potentials divergences, with shorter-term moving averages reacting to the divergence while the longer-term moving averages will still display the direction of the main trend. As such the indicator can give information about how clean a trend is, with a clean trend being defined as a variation containing no retracements. When our trend contains no retracement, the mid/long term moving averages will all have the same direction, however, when a retracement is present, the midterm moving averages might be affected by it, thus displaying a direction contrary to the main trend. When the market is ranging we can expect the panel to display an equal number of decreasing/increasing moving averages. Possible Issues When using a large range of periods, you might have an error message showing: "String is too long", try lowering the range of periods by increasing Min or decreasing Max . If the script displays the error message "Loop is too long to execute", try resetting the settings and change them back to the one you wanted to use.

Grid System With Fake MartingaleThe proposed strategy is based on a grid system with a money management that tries to replicate the effect of a martingale without having to double your position size after each loss, hence the name "fake martingale". Note that a balance using this strategy is still subject to exponential decay, the risk is not minimized, as such, it would be dangerous to use this strategy. For more information on the martingale and grid systems see: Strategy Settings Point determines the "grid" size and should be adjusted accordingly to the scale of the security you are applying the strategy to. Higher value would require larger price movements in order to trigger a trade, generating fewer trades as a result. The order size determines the number of contracts/shares to purchase. The martingale multiplier determines the factor by which the position size is multiplied after a loss, using values higher to 2 will "squarify" your balance, while a value of 1 would use a constant position sizing. Finally, the anti-martingale parameter determines whether the strategy uses a reverse martingale or not, if set to true then the position size is multiplied after each win. How It Works Let's illustrate how we replicate a martingale without doubling our exposure with a simple casino example. Imagine you are playing roulette, and that you are betting on colors (black/red), your payout is 1 to 1, in the case you win, you will have your initial stake back plus a profit equal to your initial stake. If your strategy is to recover any previous losses, you can double your stake each time you lose, once you win you will get back the previous losses plus a profit equal to your original stake, this is the martingale system. So how can we win back previous losses without having to double our stake? We could do that by doubling the payout ratio after a loss, so after a loss, we must use a payout ratio of 2:1, if we lose once again we must use a payout of 4:1...etc, our payout ratio would be subject to exponential growth instead of our stake. Of course, the payout ratio is fixed with casino games, but in trading, we can manipulate the position of our take profit in order to replicate such effect, this is what this strategy is doing. So after a loss, we place our take profit such that a win recover our losses back plus generate a profit. Advantages The advantage of this approach is that unlike the martingale we don't double our position size, which instead can remain constant, this is a huge advantage as a martingale will require a significant capital in order to tank a series of losses. Disadvantages The main disadvantage of this method is that the price might never reach our take profit after a long losing streak, our balance would remain in the red and we couldn't do anything about it except reset the strategy. Frictional costs are still a disadvantage, as such, we would need to place our take profits in order to account for them, while this is still better than purchasing additional shares, it minimizes the chances of the price reaching the take profit. Conclusions An alternative money management system replicating the effect of a martingale as been presented, we can see that such a system is far from being perfect, and it would be foolish to use it, however, it stills offer a convenient alternative to less aggressive progressive position sizing systems. I have been receiving some messages from users criticizing me for exposing the martingale money management system, and I understand why but I can't agree, talking about it allow me to warn users against it, the grid-martingale methodology is will create more harm than anything else, the reward is only one side of the story and should always be compared against the risk, so always take a look at all the statics in a backtest.

MESA Adaptive Moving Average - Improved MTFThis indicator is a huge upgrade to my original MTF MESA Plots are now extremely smooth and accurate on all timeframes ** Missing data points are automatically filled with the "best fit" This is a Trend indicator and should be used to trade "top-down" aka: Start with the Daily chart to confirm a trend Move to 4H 2H Etc... Use your favorite entry method or simply watch for wicks forming when the price gets near the MESA adaptive moving average. This is one of the few indicators that I've been using for years with success. Being able to plot both the current & higher timeframe MESA can sometimes feel like cheating. Due to the nature of the recursive calculation, you may notice slight differences between this version of MESA and others that either approximate higher timeframes with fewer samples or make use of the latest "Resolution" argument in Pinescript V4. Both of which are fine, until you start looking at M5 charts while plotting the Daily MESA. As always, happy trading! ** Currently supports M 1,3,5,15,30,45 H 1,2,3,4 Day 1 Week 1 Month 1

Up/Down Trend MarkerA simple indicator of trend by using 3 EMAs of multiplies of 2, 5 and 10, filtered by standard positive/negative directional movements (DM) which are the base of Average Directional Index (ADX). The "Trend Strength" option is included to set the EMA multipliers and also the variation between DM+ and DM- which interpret the trend as a weak or a strong one. Note that the markers only point to almost the beginning of the trends and just change the direction when the opposite trend is detected. Feel free to send me your opinions.

Grid Like StrategyIt is possible to use progressive position sizing in order to recover from past losses, a well-known position sizing system being the "martingale", which consists of doubling your position size after a loss, this allows you to recover any previous losses in a losing streak + winning an extra. This system has seen a lot of attention from the trading community (mostly from beginners), and many strategies have been designed around the martingale, one of them being "grid trading strategies". While such strategies often shows promising results on paper, they are often subjects to many frictions during live trading that makes them totally unusable and dangerous to the trader. The motivations behind posting such a strategy isn't to glorify such systems, but rather to present the problems behind them, many users come to me with their ideas and glorious ways to make money, sometimes they present strategies using the martingale, and it is important to present the flaws of this methodology rather than blindly saying "you shouldn't use it". Strategy Settings Point determines the "grid" size and should be adjusted accordingly to the scale of the symbol you are applying the strategy to. Higher value would require larger price movements in order to trigger a trade, as such higher values will generate fewer trades. The order size determines the number of contracts/shares to purchase. The martingale multiplier determines the factor by which the position size is multiplied after a loss, using values higher to 2 will "squarify" your balance, while a value of 1 would use a constant position sizing. Finally, the anti-martingale parameter determines whether the strategy uses a reverse martingale or not, if set to true then the position size is multiplied after any wins. The Grid Grid strategies are commons and do not present huge problems until we use certain position sizing methods such as the martingale. A martingale is extremely sensitive to any kind of friction (frictional costs, slippage...etc), the grid strategy aims to provide a stable and simple environment where a martingale might possibly behave well. The goal of a simple grid strategy is to go long once the price crossover a certain level, a take profit is set at the level above the current one and stop loss is placed at the level below the current one, in a winning scenario the price reach the take profit, the position is closed and a new one is opened with the same setup. In a losing scenario, the price reaches the stop loss level, the position is closed and a short one is opened, the take profit is set at the level below the current one, and a stop loss is set at the level above the current one. Note that all levels are equally spaced. It follows from this strategy that wins and losses should be constant over time, as such our balance would evolve in a linear fashion. This is a great setup for a martingale, as we are theoretically assured to recover all the looses in a losing streak. Martingale - Exponential Decays - Risk/Reward By using a martingale we double our position size (exposure) each time we lose a trade, if we look at our balance when using a martingale we see significant drawdowns, with our balance peaking down significantly. The martingale sequence is subject to exponential growth, as such using a martingale makes our balance exposed to exponential decays, that's really bad, we could basically lose all the initially invested capital in a short amount of time, it follows from this that the theoretical success of a martingale is determined by what is the maximum losing streak you can endure Now consider how a martingale affects our risk-reward ratio, assuming unity position sizing our martingale sequence can be described by 2^(x-1) , using this formula we would get the amount of shares/contracts we need to purchase at the x trade of a losing streak, we would need to purchase 256 contracts in order to recover from a losing streak of size 9, this is enormous when you take into account that your wins are way smaller, the risk-reward ratio is totally unfair. Of course, some users might think that a losing streak of size 9 is pretty unlikely, if the probability of winning and losing are both equal to 0.5, then the probability of 9 consecutive losses is equal to 0.5^9 , there are approximately 0.2% of chance of having such large losing streak, note however that under a ranging market such case scenario could happen, but we will see later that the length of a losing streak is not the only problem. Other Problems Having a capital large enough to tank 9any number of consecutive losses is not the only thing one should focus on, as we have to take into account market prices and trading dynamics, that's where the ugly part start. Our first problem is frictional costs, one example being the spread, but this is a common problem for any strategy, however here a martingale is extra sensitive to it, if the strategy does not account for it then we will still double our positions costs but we might not recover all the losses of a losing streak, instead we would be recovering only a proportion of it, under such scenario you would be certain to lose over time. Another problem are gaps, market price might open under a stop-loss without triggering it, and this is a big no-no. Equity of the strategy on AMD, in a desired scenario the equity at the second arrow should have been at a higher position than the equity at the first arrow. In order for the strategy to be more effective, we would need to trade a market that does not close, such as the cryptocurrency market. Finally, we might be affected by slippage, altho only extreme values might drastically affect our balance. The Anti Martingale The strategy lets you use an anti-martingale, which double the position size after a win instead of a loss, the goal here is not to recover from a losing strike but instead to profit from a potential winning streak. Here we are exposing your balance to exponential gross but you might also lose a trade at the end a winning streak, you will generally want to reinitialize your position size after a few wins instead of waiting for the end of a streak. Alternative You can use other-kind of progressions for position sizing, such as a linear one, increasing your position size by a constant number each time you lose. More gentle progressions will recover a proportion of your losses in a losing streak. You can also simulate the effect of a martingale without doubling your position size by doubling your target profit, if for example you have a 10$ profit-target/stop-loss and lose a trade, you can use a 20$ profit target to recover from the lost trade + gain a profit of 10$. While this approach does not introduce exponential decay in your balance, you are betting on the market reaching your take profits, considering the fact that you are doubling their size you are expecting market volatility to increase drastically over time, as such this approach would not be extremely effective for high losing streak. Conclusion You will see a lot of auto-trading strategies that are based on a grid approach, they might even use a martingale. While the backtests will look appealing, you should think twice before using such kind of strategy, remember that frictional costs will be a huge challenge for the strategy, and that it assumes that the trader has an important initial capital. We have also seen that the risk/reward ratio is theoretically the worst you can have on a strategy, having a low reward and a high risk. This does not mean that progressive position sizing is bad, but it should not be pushed to the extreme. It is nice to note that the martingale is originally a betting system designed for casino games, which unlike trading are not subject to frictional costs, but even casino players don't use it, so why would you?

Double Bollinger BandThe double bollinger band indicator uses a normal bollinger band with a multitude of 2 and on outer band with a multitude of 3. The indicator shows momentum by the price being stuck between the higher or lower bands. If price is in the middle then it is a neutral zone. The band's moving average is a default of 20 sma but included there are two extra simple moving averages just as extra indicators. This is my first published code and the code is messy; however, it gets the job done nice and simple. (: Enjoy!

Trendflex - Another new Ehlers indicatorSource: Stocks and Commodities V38 Hooray! Another new John Ehlers indicator! John claims this indicator is lag-less and uses the SPY on the Daily as an example. This indicator is a slight modification of Reflex, which I have posted here I think it's better for Stocks and ETFs than Reflex since it factors in long trends. It tends to keep you in winning trades for a long time. I believe this indicator can be used for entries or exits, potentially both. Entry 1. Entering Long positions at the pivot low points (Stocks and ETFs) 2. Entering Long when the Reflex crosses above the zero lines (Stocks, ETFs, Commodities ) Exit 1. Exiting Long positions at a new pivot high point (Stocks and ETFs) 2. Exiting Long when the Reflex crosses below the zero lines (Stocks, ETFs, Commodities ) In this example, I place a Long order on the SPY every time the Reflex crosses above the zero level and exit when it crosses below or pops my stop loss, set at 1.5 * Daily ATR. 2/3 Wins +16.05% Let me know in the comment section if you're able to use this in a strategy.

Optimized Trend Tracker - Strategy VersionA brand new indicator from the developer of MOST (Moving Stop Loss) indicator Anıl Özekşi. Optimized Trend Tracker OTT is an indicator that provides traders to find an existing trend or in another words to ser which side of the current trend we are on. The original indicator was coded and published by Kıvanç Özbilgiç. You can access it from this link: I transformed the indicator into a strategy and made some changes: - You can run two different strategies. In the Settings section, you can test two different strategies, "Support Line Crossing Signals" and "Price / OTT Crossing Signals". - Fixed the issue where BUY/SELL labels from the indicator script would hang in the air. - I added a setting where you can hide BUY/SELL labels if you want. - I painted the bars for BUY/SELL states, you can open and close in the settings section. - As I do with every strategy script, I added a start and end date for the strategy test. You can specify the range you want to see working in the Settings section. In addition, there were cases when the OTT line was reduced to zero in non-voluminous symbols; I changed this situation by making a small change in the code. I asked Kıvanç about the subject, I can update according to his answer. Note : Strategy BUY / SELL tags and indicator BUY / SELL tags do not operate in the same bar because indicator tags are added when the next bar occurs. If you replay bars, you can observe label formations. TÜRKÇE AÇIKLAMA Orjinal indikatör Kıvanç Özbilgiç tarafından kodlanmış ve yayımlanmıştır. Bu linkten erişebilirsiniz: İndikatörü strateji dönüştürdüm ve bazı değişiklikler yaptım: - İki farklı strateji çalıştırabilirsiniz. Ayarlar kısmında Condition bölümünde "Support Line Crossing Signals" ve "Price/OTT Crossing Signals" olarak iki farklı stratejiyi test edebilirsiniz. - İndikatör scriptinden gelen BUY/SELL etiketlerinin havada durması sorununu düzelttim. - İsterseniz BUY/SELL etiketleri gizleyebileceğiniz bir ayar ekledim. - BUY/SELL durumları için barları boyadım, ayarlar bölümünden açıp kapatabilirsiniz. - Her strateji scriptinde yaptığım gibi, strateji testi için başlangıç ve bitiş tarihi ekledim. Ayarlar bölümünden çalışmasını görmek istediğiniz aralığı belirleyebilirsiniz. - Ek olarak hacimsiz sembollerde OTT çizgisinin sıfıra indiği durumlar mevcuttu; kodda ufak bir değişiklik yaparak bu durumu değiştirdim. Kıvanç Bey'e konu ile ilgili soru sordum, cevabına göre güncelleme yapabilirim. Not : Strateji BUY/SELL etiketleri ile indikatör BUY/SELL etiketleri aynı barda işlem yapmamaktadır çünkü indikatör etiketleri kendisinden sonraki bar oluşunca eklenmektedir. Barları replay yaptırırsanız oluşumlarını gözlemleyebilirsiniz.

Trending True RangeDisplay a smoothed true range during trending markets, thus filtering any measurement occurring during ranging markets. Whether the market is trending or ranging is determined by the position of the efficiency ratio relative to its Wilder moving average. Settings Resolution : resolution of the indicator Length : period of the efficiency ratio and the Wilder moving averages used in the script Usage If you are not interested in volatility during ranging markets, this indicator might result useful to you. An interesting aspect is that it both measures volatility, but also determine whether the market is trending or ranging, with a zero value indicating a ranging market. Indicator against Atr, with both length = 14, our indicator might be easier to interpret. Note Thx to my twitter followers for their suggestions regarding this indicator. I apologize if it's a bit short, the original code was longer and included more options, but forcing a script to be lengthy is a really bad idea, so I stayed with something less flashy but certainly more practical, "classic Grover" some might say. Thx for reading!
