Entry

CHOP Zone Entry Strategy + DMI/PSAR ExitThis is a Strategy with associated visual indicators and Long/Short and Reverse/Close Position Alerts for the Choppiness Index (CHOP) . It is used to determine if the market is choppy (trading sideways) or not choppy (trading within a trend in either direction). CHOP is not directional, so a DMI script was ported into this strategy to allow for trend confirmation and direction determination; it consists of an Average Directional Index (ADX) , Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) . In addition, a Parabolic SAR is also included to act as a trailing stop during any strong trends. Development Notes --------------------------- This indicator, and most of the descriptions below, were derived largely from the TradingView reference manual. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome, as well are recommended Input settings and best practices for use. www.tradingview.com www.tradingview.com www.tradingview.com Recommend using the below DMI and PSAR indicators in conjunction with this script to fully visualize and understand how entry and exit conditions are chosen. Variable inputs should correlate between the scripts for uniformity and visual compatibility. THANKS to LazyBear and his Momentum Squeeze script for helping me quickly develop a momentum state model for coloring the Chop line by trend. Strategy Description --------------------------- CHOP produces values that determine whether the market is choppy or trending . The closer the value is to 100 , the higher the choppiness levels , while the closer it is to 0 , the stronger the market is trending . Territories for both levels, and their associated upper and lower thresholds, are popularly defined using the Fibonacci Retracements, 61.8 and 38.2. Basic Use --------------------------- CHOP is often used to confirm the market condition to help you stay out of sideways markets and only enter when there is movement or imminent explosions. When readings are above the upper threshold, continued sideways movement may be expected, while readings below the lower threshold are typically indicative of a continuing trend. It is also used to anticipate upcoming trendiness changes, with the general belief that extended periods of consolidation (sideways movement) are followed by extended periods of strong, trending, directional movement, and vice versa. One limitation in this index is that you must be cautious in deciding whether the range or trend will likely continue, or if it will reverse. Confidence in price action and trend is higher when two or more indicators are in agreement -- while this strategy combines CHOP with both DMI and PSAR, we would still recommend pairing with other indicators to determine entry or exit trade opportunities. Recommend also choosing 'Once Per Bar Close' when creating alerts. Inputs --------------------------- Strategy Direction - an option to only trade Short, Long, Both, or only in the direction of the Trend (Follow Trend is the Default). Sensitivity - an incremental variable to test whether the past n candles are in the same trend state before triggering a delayed long or short alert (1 is the Default). Can help filter out noise and reduces active alerts. Show Chop Index - two visual styles are provided for user preference, a visible Chop line with a background overlay, or a compact column and label only view. Chop Lookback Period - the time period to be used in calculating CHOP (14 is the Default). Chop Offset - changing this number will move the CHOP either forwards or backwards relative to the current market (0 is the Default). Smooth Chop Line and Length - if enabled, the entered time period will be used in calculating a smooth average of the index (Enabled and 4 are the Defaults). Color Line to Trend Direction - toggles whether the index line is colored to visually depict the current trend direction (Enabled is the Default). Color Background - toggles the visibility of a background color based on the index state (Enabled is the Default). Enable DMI Option - if enabled, then entry will be confirmed by and dependent on the ADX Key Level, with any close or reversal confirmed by both ADX and +/-DI to determine whether there is a strong trend present or not (Enabled is the Default). ADX Smoothing - the time period to be used in calculating the ADX which has a smoothing component (14 is the Default). DI Length - the time period to be used in calculating the DI (14 is the Default). ADX Key Level - any trade with the ADX above the key level is a strong indicator that it is trending (23 to 25 is the suggested setting). Enable PSAR Option - enables trailing stop loss orders (Enabled is the Default). PSAR Start - the starting value for the Acceleration Force (0.015 is our chosen Default, 0.02 is more common). PSAR Increment - the increment in which the Acceleration Force will move (0.001 is our chosen Default, 0.02 is more common). PSAR Max Value - the maximum value of the Acceleration Factor (0.2 is the Default). Color Candles Option - an option to transpose the CHOP condition levels to the main candle bars. Note that the outer red and green border will still be distinguished by whether each individual candle is bearish or bullish during the specified timeframe. Note too that if both DMI and PSAR are deselected, then close determinations will default to a CHOP reversal strategy (e.g., close long when below 38.2 and close short when above 61.8). Though if either DMI or PSAR are enabled, then the CHOP reversal for close determination will automatically be disabled. Indicator Visuals --------------------------- For the candle colors, black indicates tight chop (45 to 55), yellow is loose chop (38.2 to 45 and 55 to 61.8), dark purple is trending down (< 38.2), and dark blue is trending up (> 61.8). The background color has additional shades to differentiate a wider range of more levels… • < 30 is dark purple • 30 to 38.2 is purple • 38.2 to 45 is light purple • 45 to 55 is black • 55 to 61.8 is light blue • 61.8 to 70 is blue • > 70 is dark blue Long, Short, Close, and Reverse labels are plotted on the Chop line, which itself can be colored based on the trend. The chop line can also be hidden for a clean and compact, columnar view, which is my preferred option (see example image below). Visual cues are intended to improve analysis and decrease interpretation time during trading, as well as to aid in understanding the purpose of this strategy and how its inclusion can benefit a comprehensive trading plan. DMI and Trend Strength --------------------------- To analyze trend strength, the focus should be on the ADX line and not the +DI or -DI lines.  An ADX reading above 25 indicates a strong trend , while a reading below 20 indicates a weak or non-existent trend .  A reading between those two values would be considered indeterminable. Though what is truly a strong trend or a weak trend depends on the financial instrument being examined; historical analysis can assist in determining appropriate values. DMI exits trade when ADX is below the user selected key level (e.g., default is 25) and when the +/- DI lines cross (e.g., -DI > +DI exits long position and +DI > -DI exits short position). PSAR and Trailing Stop --------------------------- PSAR is a time and price based indicator that excels at measuring direction and duration, though not the actual strength of a trend, which is why we use this in conjunction with DMI. It is also included in this script as a trailing stop option to maximize gains during strong trends and to mitigate any false ADX strengthening signals. This creates a parabola that is located below the candle during a Bullish trend and above during a Bearish trend. A buy or reversal is signaled when the price crosses above or below the Parabolic SAR. Long/Short Entry --------------------------- 1. CHOP must be over 61.8 (long) or under 38.2 (short). 2. If DMI is enabled, then the ADX signal line must be above the user selected Key Level (default is 25). 3. If Sensitivity is selected, then that past candle must meet the criteria in step 1, as well as all the intermediate candles in between. 4. If "Follow Trend" is selected and PSAR is enabled, then a long position can only open when the momentum and PSAR are in an uptrend, or short when both are in a downtrend, to include all intermediate candles if the Sensitivity option is set on a past candle. Close/Reverse --------------------------- 1. If DMI is enabled, then a close flag will be raised when the ADX signal drops below the Key Level (of 25), and -DI crosses over +DI (if long), or +DI crosses over -DI (if short). 2. If PSAR is enabled, then a close flag will be raised when the current trend state is opposite the last state. 3. If both DMI and PSAR are disabled, then a close flag will be raised if the Chop line drops under 38.2 (if long) or goes over 61.8 (if short). 4. If a Long or Short Entry is triggered on the same candle as any of the above close flags, then the position will be reversed, else the position will be closed. Strategy Alerts --------------------------- 1. Long Entry 2. Short Entry 3. Reverse 4. Close The provided backtest result is based on a position sizing of 10% equity with 100k initial capital. When testing SPX, disabling the DMI performed the best, but EURUSD performed poorly without it enabled, and TSLA had a small reduction in net profit. Timeframe likewise differed between commodities with TSLA performing best at 30M, SPX at 15M, and EURUSD at 4H. I do not plan on using this as a standalone strategy, but I also was expecting better results with the inclusion of EMI and PSAR to compliment the CHOP. Key elements of this script will likely be included in future, more holistic strategies. Disclaimer --------------------------- Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting. This post and the script are not intended to provide any financial advice. Trade at your own risk. No known repainting, though there may be if an offset is introduced in the Inputs. I did my best not to code any other variables that repaint, but cannot fully attest to this fact.

Buy and Hold entry finderHello everyone! This is a indicator based on the MACD and the distance between the current price and the Exponential moving Average . The signal gets triggered if the current MACD (with default settings) is under 0 and the Distance from the Ema gets smaller if under ema or gets bigger if over ema . In edition you can set a max distance from the ema . This indicator was invented for buy and hold strategy s only. I invented this indicator to find better entrys for my saving plans on the MSCI WORLD AND MSCI EMERGING MARKETS ETF on the 1 day timeframe. Instead of investing every month, i only invest on the green Arrow Signal. For example, lets say there is no buy signal for 3 months, then i invest the summary of the three months on the buy signal.

OSCAR Oscillator by GenZai - NNFXOSCAR Oscillator by GenZai Green line is the Oscar Rough Red line is the Oscar By default based on the 8 last candles and smoothed using RMA Purple line is the Slow Oscar By default based on the 16 last candles and smoothed using WMA HOW TO USE Exit signaling This indicator can be used as an exit indicator when line cross each other. Entry signaling When the green line crosses up, it indicates a long entry When the red line crosses up, it indicates a short entry Overbought/Oversold When the indicator crosses the dashed grey lines it indicates Overbought Oversold Slow Oscar Add-on This is an Add-on to the orignal Oscar indicator Can be hidden if you want the original experience of the Oscar indicator. Can be used as a confirmation indicator by looking at the direction of the slope to verify is your are trending long or trending short. Can be used as a baseline to confirm signals given by Oscar Can be used to tweak your signals and test different settings. Stock or Forex? The program was originally written for stocks, but works equally well with the Forex market. How this indicator is calculated ? This is the formula we use to calculate the Oscar: let A = the highest high of the last eight days (including today) let B = the lowest low of the past eight days (including today) let C = today's closing price let X = yesterday's oscillator figure (Oscar) Today's "rough" oscillator equals (C-B) divided by (A-B) times 100. Next we "smooth" our rough number (let's call it Y) like this: Final oscillator number = ((X divided by 3) times 2), plus (Y divided by 3). SETTINGS: You can choose between different smoothing options: RMA: Moving average used in RSI. It is the Adjusted exponential moving averages (also known as Wilder's exponential moving average) SMA : Simple moving average EMA : Exponential moving average WMA : Weighted moving average

Reflex - A new Ehlers indicatorSource: Stocks and Commodities V38 Hooray! A new John Ehlers indicator! John claims this indicator is lag-less and uses the SPY on the Daily as an example. He states that drawing a line from peak to peak (or trough to trough) will correspond perfectly with the Asset. I have to say I agree! There is typically one bar of lag or no lag at all! I believe this indicator can be used for either entries or exits, but not 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. 4/6 Wins +10.76% For me, that's good enough to create a strategy and backtest on several Indices and ETFs, which is what I have a hunch this will work on. I think there is a lot of promise from a single Indicator! Let me know in the comment section if you're able to use this in a strategy.

FauxLife EFIModification to Elder's Force Index (EFI) Ability to change calculation from standard EMA to your choice of SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA. Very interesting results! Adjust lookback from standard/suggested 13 candlesticks Added a color indication to positive or negative force reading Added background color tint for an easier read on dashboard setups Suggested pair with my On Balance Volume with Cross to use as a filter & entry/exit setup. Enter or exit trades when the two indicators switch at the same time or within 1-2 candlesticks of each other.

Z Score Enhanced Time Segmented Volume (Multi MA)**THIS VERSION HAS BEEN STANDARDIZED WITH A Z SCORE CALCULATION AND ALLOWS THE USER TO SELECT WHICH MOVING AVERAGE THEY WOULD LIKE TO UTILIZE FOR THE SIGNAL LINE** Chart shows the Non-Standardized Enhanced Time Segmented Volume (Multi MA) with default settings on top and the Standardized version with default settings on the bottom. Time Segmented Volume was developed by Worden Brothers, Inc to be a leading indicator by comparing various time segments of both price and volume . Essentialy it is designed to measure the amount of money flowing in and out of an instrument. Time Segmented Volume was originally ported to TradingView by user @liw0 and later corrected by user @vitelot. I never quite understood how to read Time Segmented Volume until I ran across a version by user @storma where they indicated when price would be long or short, but that code also utilized the incorrect calculation from user @liw0. In an effort to make Time Segmented Volume more accessible and easier to read, I have re-coded it here. The calculations are based on the code from @vitelot and I have added direction indicators below the chart. If the histogram (TSV) is greater than zero and greater than the moving average, price should be moving long and there will be a green box below the chart. If TSV falls below the moving average while still being greater than zero, the trend may be exhausting and has been coded to read Price Action Long - FAILURE with a black x below the chart. If the histogram (TSV) is less than zero and less than the moving average, price should be moving short and there will be a red box below the chart. If TSV rises above the moving average while still being less than zero, the trend may be exhausting and has been coded to read Price Action Short - FAILURE with a black x below the chart. At times, the moving average may be above zero while TSV is below zero or vice versa. In these situations the chart will indicate long or short based on whether or not TSV is greater or less than zero. It is possible a new trend may be forming as the moving average obviously lags, but also possible price is consolidating with little volume and causing TSV to oscillate close to zero. **Z Score // Standardized Option ** Thist Standardized code implements all of the above but also allows the user to select a threshold level that should not need to be adjusted for each instrument (since the output is standardized). If the TSV value meets the long and short signal requirements above and TSV is greater than the threshold values a green or red box will print ABOVE the oscillator. The histogram will also change color based on which threshold TSV has met. This calculation allows us to compare current volatility to the mean (moving average) of the population (Z-Length). The closer the TSV Z-Score is to the mean, the closer it will be to the Zero Line and therefore price is likely consolidating and choppy. The farther TSV Z-Score is from the mean, the more likely price is trending. The MA Mode determines the Moving Average used to calculate TSV itself. The Z-Score is ALWAYS calculated with a simple moving average (as that is the standard calculation for Z-Score). The Threshold Levels are the levels at which TSV Z-Score will change from gray to yellow, orange, green ( bullish ), or red ( bearish ). Statistically speaking, confidence levels in relation to Z-Score are noted below. The built in Threshold Levels are the positive and negative values for 90%, 95%, and 99%. This would indicate when volatility is greater than these values they are out of the ordinary from the standard range. You may wish to adjust these levels for TSV Z-Score to be more responsive to your trading needs 80% :: 1.28 85% :: 1.44 90% :: 1.64 95% :: 1.96 99% :: 2.58 The Z Length is the period for which the Z Score is calculated More information regarding Time Segmented Volume can be found here: www.worden.com Original code ported by @liw0 Corrected by @vitelot Updated/Enhancements by @eylwithsteph with inspiration from @storma Multiple MA Options Credits to @Fractured and @lejmer Bits and Pieces from @AlexGrover, @Montyjus, and @Jiehonglim As always, trade at your own risk.

BERLIN Renegade - Entry and ExitThis is the entry and exit part of a larger algorithm called the "BERLIN Renegade". It is based on the NNFX way of trading, with some modifications. For entry, it consists of Modified Chaikin Oscillator and Advanced MACD. The Advanced MACD is not available on its own, but all others are publically available. For exit it consists of the DIDI Index and the QQE line (original idea by Jie). Special thanks to Michael Kuczynski for the idea to include the FTLM digital filter. Long signal: Green bars (upper and lower are both green) Short signal: Red bars (upper and lower are both red) Exit signal: Purple bars (bottom) - DIDI Index with QQE line

Calculator (weighted) - evoA tool to calculate the average price and position size. The "Risk Amount" input means the amount of dollars you lose if the trade gets stopped out (it should be based on a small percentage of your account). TIPS - If you use the weights to calculate an average price, make sure it adds up to 100% in total or you will get a weird number. - Keep an eye on the risk amount if you take a trade, if I ever update the script it might set back to default which will change your position size. - I tested it all but you might trade in a different way than me, so do your own calculation for every new thing you try with it. If you find any bug please tell me so that no one ends up with a weird calculation or position size.

Febres StrategyThe strategy consist in every time that price failed to break any of the EMAs, we need to wait for the right price action and make a buy or sell when it bounce from it to keep surfing on the trend (using the stochastic oscillator and the 5-13 EMAs cross as an additional confirmation). When do we start looking for a change on the trend? When it repeats the blue tracer (high or low of the previous day) without breaking it and bouncing from it, there will be our signal to start looking for a change of direction on the trend. Only applicable on 15 minute chart.

CCI Cycle (Modified Schaff Trend Cycle)This is a modified Schaff Trend Cycle (STC), which is designed to provide quicker entries and exits. I've been a huge fan of the STC for a long time, but being based on the MACD means its signals often lag by a bar or two (especially in fast moving markets). All I've done here is take the base STC script (all credit to user @LazyBear), and change the source to a modified CCI. The CCI Cycle provides more timely entries and exits, often by 1-2 bars. The flip side of the increased responsiveness is a prevalence for more false signals (a perfect example is the 17th August on the above chart). It's the nature of the beast! Still, I've been using this for a few months now and it's (in my opinion) an upgrade on the standard STC. As always, you will need to pair this with another indicator or method of technical analysis to provide a trade bias, as the CCI Cycle (and STC) aren't designed to trade every signal. In my experience, either divergence identification, or using one or more moving averages works particularly well. The indicator is also MTF capable, so you can get some interesting results from that. Any queries let me know. DD

Entry pointsThis great and simple indicator based on EMA generates information about entry points at close of the candle. First signal is the best entry point but you can re-enter at the next. IMPORTANT: this script does not generate exit signals and those shoud be find using money management rules or else. Perfectly catches long runs in trends at all underlayings (forex, stocks, indexes, commodities) at all timeframes. Period=100 works best independently on timeframe but I encourage you to try other. Lower period gives more incorrect signals and shorter runs, higher period gives you late entry and less. Ofcourse it gives false signals from time to time but fortunately it makes a correction very fast. Try it! Good luck and good traiding!
