Nq!! — Indicators and Strategies

NQ Position Size Calculator NQ Position Size Line Calculator is designed specifically for Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ) and micro futures (MNQ) traders who want to maintain disciplined risk management. This visual tool eliminates the guesswork from position sizing by displaying distance lines and contract calculations directly on your chart. The indicator creates horizontal lines at 10-tick intervals from your stop loss level, showing you exactly how many contracts to trade at each distance to maintain your predetermined risk amount. Whether you're trading regular NQ contracts or micro MNQ contracts, this calculator ensures you never risk more than intended while providing instant visual feedback for optimal position sizing decisions. How to Use the Indicator Step 1: Configure Your Settings Stop Loss Price: Enter your exact stop loss level (e.g., 20000.00) Risk Amount ($): Set your maximum dollar risk per trade (e.g., $500) Contract Type: Choose between: NQ (Regular): $5 per tick - for larger accounts MNQ (Micro): $0.50 per tick - for smaller accounts or conservative sizing Display Options: Max Lines: Number of distance lines to show (default: 30) Show Labels: Toggle tick distance and contract count labels Line Color: Customize the color of distance lines Label Size: Choose tiny, small, or normal label sizes Step 2: Read the Visual Display Once configured, the indicator displays: Stop Loss Line: Thick yellow line marking your exact stop loss level Yellow label showing the stop loss price Distance Lines: Dashed red lines at 10-tick intervals above and below your stop loss Lines appear on both sides for long and short position planning Labels (if enabled): Green labels (right side): For long positions above your stop loss Red labels (left side): For short positions below your stop loss Format: "20T 5x" means 20 ticks distance, 5 contracts maximum Step 3: Use the Information Tables The indicator provides two helpful tables: Position Size Table (top-right): Shows common tick distances (10, 20, 40, 80, 160 ticks) Displays risk per contract at each distance Contract count for your specified risk amount Total risk with rounded contract numbers Settings Table (bottom-right): Confirms your current risk amount Shows selected contract type Displays current settings for quick reference Step 4: Apply to Your Trading For Long Positions: Look at the green labels on the right side of your chart Find your desired entry level Read the label to see: distance in ticks and maximum contracts Example: "30T 8x" = 30 ticks from stop, buy 8 contracts maximum For Short Positions: Look at the red labels on the left side of your chart Find your desired entry level Read the label for tick distance and contract count Example: "40T 6x" = 40 ticks from stop, sell 6 contracts maximum Step 5: Trading Execution Before Entering a Trade: Identify your stop loss level and input it into the indicator Choose your entry point by looking at the distance lines Note the contract count from the corresponding label Verify the risk amount matches your trading plan Execute your trade with the calculated position size Risk Management Features: Contract rounding: All position sizes are rounded down (never up) to ensure you don't exceed your risk limit Zero position filtering: Lines only show where position size is at least 1 contract Dual-sided display: Plan both long and short opportunities simultaneously

Cumulative Intraday Volume with Long/Short Labels This indicator calculates a running total of volume for each trading day, then shows on the price chart when that total crosses levels you choose. Every day at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, the total goes back to zero so it always reflects only the current day’s activity. From that moment on, each time a new candle appears the indicator looks at whether the candle closed higher than it opened or lower. If it closed higher, the candle’s volume is added to the running total; if it closed lower, the same volume amount is subtracted. As a result, the total becomes positive when buyers have dominated so far today and negative when sellers have dominated. Because futures markets close at 6 PM ET, the running total resets exactly then, mirroring the way most intraday traders think in terms of a single session. Throughout the day, you will see this running total move up or down according to whether more volume is happening on green or red candles. Once the total goes above a number you specify (for example, one hundred thousand contracts), the indicator will place a small “Long” label at that candle on the main price chart to let you know buying pressure has reached that level. Similarly, once the total goes below a negative number you choose (for example, minus one hundred thousand), a “Short” label will appear at that candle to signal that selling pressure has reached your chosen threshold. You can set these threshold numbers to whatever makes sense for your trading style or the market you follow. Because raw volume alone never turns negative, this design uses candle direction as a sign. Green candles (where the close is higher than the open) add volume, and red candles (where the close is lower than the open) subtract volume. Summing those signed volume values tells you in a single number whether buying or selling has been stronger so far today. That number resets every evening, so it does not carry over any buying or selling from previous sessions. Once you have this indicator on your chart, you simply watch the “summed volume” line as it moves throughout the day. If it climbs past your long threshold, you know buyers are firmly in control and a long entry might make sense. If it falls past your short threshold, you know sellers are firmly in control and a short entry might make sense. In quieter markets or times of low volume, you might use a smaller threshold so that even modest buying or selling pressure will trigger a label. During very active periods, a larger threshold will prevent too many signals when volume spikes frequently. This approach is straightforward but can be surprisingly powerful. It does not rely on complex formulas or hidden statistical measures. Instead, it simply adds and subtracts daily volume based on candle color, then alerts you when that total reaches levels you care about. Over several years of historical testing, this formula has shown an ability to highlight moments when intraday sentiment shifts decisively from buyers to sellers or vice versa. Because the indicator resets every day at 6 PM, it always reflects only today’s sentiment and remains easy to interpret without carrying over past data. You can use it on any intraday timeframe, but it works especially well on five-minute or fifteen-minute charts for futures contracts. If you want a clear gauge of whether buyers or sellers are dominating in real time, and you prefer a rule-based method rather than a complex model, this indicator gives you exactly that. It shows net buying or selling pressure at a glance, resets each session like most intraday traders do, and marks the moments when that pressure crosses the levels you decide are important. By combining a daily reset with signed volume, you get a single number that tells you precisely what the crowd is doing at any given moment, without any of the guesswork or hidden calculations that more complicated indicators often carry.

MACD & Bollinger Bands Overbought Oversold MACD & Bollinger Bands Reversal Detector This indicator combines the power of MACD divergence analysis with Bollinger Bands to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market. Key Features: MACD Calculation & Divergence: The script calculates the standard MACD components (MACD line, Signal line, and Histogram) using configurable fast, slow, and signal lengths. It includes a simplified divergence detection mechanism that flags potential bearish divergence—when the price makes a new swing high but the MACD fails to confirm the move. This divergence can serve as an early warning that the bullish momentum is waning. Bollinger Bands: A 20-period simple moving average (SMA) is used as the basis, with upper and lower bands drawn at 2 standard deviations. These bands help visualize overbought and oversold conditions. For example, a close at or above the upper band suggests the market may be overextended (overbought), while a close at or below the lower band may indicate oversold conditions. Visual Alerts: The indicator plots the Bollinger Bands on the chart along with labels marking overbought and oversold conditions. Additionally, it marks potential bearish divergence with a downward triangle, providing a quick visual cue to traders. Usage Suggestions: Confluence with Other Signals: Use the divergence signals and Bollinger Band conditions as filters. For example, even if another indicator suggests a long entry, you might avoid it if the price is overbought or if MACD divergence warns of weakening momentum. Customization: All key parameters, such as the MACD lengths, Bollinger Band period, and multiplier, are fully configurable. This flexibility allows you to adjust the indicator to suit different markets or trading styles. Disclaimer: This script is provided for educational purposes only. Always perform your own analysis and backtesting before trading with live capital.

QQQ and SPY Price Levels [MW]Introduction: Don’t let SPY and QQQ resistance levels hurt your futures trading anymore. The QQQ and SPY Price Levels indicator automagically provides easily accessible QQQ price levels for NASDAQ-related charts such as QQQ, /NQ and /MNQ futures, and leveraged ETFs such as TQQQ and SQQQ as well as for SPY price levels for S&P 500-related charts such as SPY, /ES and /MES futures, SPX, and leveraged ETFs such as UPRO and SPXU. If you’ve ever traded futures, or anything QQQ- or SPY-related and wanted to know at what price would the corresponding asset reach a key whole number level of QQQ or SPY, like 400, 440, 445, or even 447.50, this tool is for you. Key 10x, 5x, and even 2.5x multiples of QQQ and SPY can act as support or resistance for other related-assets. Until now, there hasn’t been an indicator that can serve as an easy visual cue to know exactly when that is about to happen across assets. This indicator is a fork of the original SPY Price Levels indicator, which only considered SPY-related assets. Settings: QQQ/SPY 2.5x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 2.5 on QQQ QQQ/SPY 5x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 5 on QQQ QQQ/SPY 10x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 10 on QQQ Show QQQ/SPY Price Label: Show the current QQQ/SPY price Extend lines to the left: Extend label lines for each price level to the beginning of the chart Calculations: This indicator defines the ratio between the price of QQQ/SPY and another NASDAQ/S&P-related asset and uses that multiplier once the user-defined price increments are defined. For example, if /MNQ is at 19000 and QQQ is at 465, then the ratio would be 40.8. The incremental QQQ levels that are above and below the QQQ price are calculated using the following equations: qqqLevelUp = _multiplier * math.ceil(_qqqClose / _multiplier) qqqLevelDown = _multiplier * math.floor(_qqqClose / _multiplier) The conversion ratio is then multiplied by that amount to get the final estimated corresponding price using the calculation: levelUp := _conversion * qqqLevelUp levelDown := _conversion * qqqLevelDown For leveraged assets, the conversion must be used on the difference between the current QQQ price and the incremental upper and lower levels. For example, the calculation for the next level up looks like the following: levelUpDelta := math.abs(_qqqClose - qqqLevelUp) levelUp := close + _conversion * (levelUpDelta * _leverage) This logic is identical for SPY-related assets. How to Use: The QQQ and SPY Price Levels indicator aims to be as unobtrusive as possible. The default view shows 3 labels and 2 lines that are all aligned to the right of the main chart, so that it interferes as little as possible with any other indicators. It can be added to any /NQ or /MNQ futures chart, SQQQ, TQQQ, and, of course, QQQ as well as any /ES /MES futures chart, SPXU, UPRO, SPX, and of course SPY. The most immediate price levels for each multiplier appears above and below the current price along with the price of QQQ/SPY. For example, MNQU2024 is currently at 19594. By looking at the indicator the next QQQ increment below is at 475, or 19556 on the MNQU2024 chart. This potential support is marked with a green label that shows both prices. The next increment above is at QQQ 477.50, or 19659 on the MESU2024 chart. And the QQQ price itself, is also shown (and can be removed) at 475.92. QQQ and SPY price increments of 2.5, 5, and 10 tend to consistently act at the very least as emotional support and resistance levels. Weak, or weakening volume and/or momentum when these levels are hit can trigger a strong rejection, and can sometimes precipitate lengthy consolidation periods at those levels. Watching an NASDAQ- and S&P 500-related asset come to a halt, fall off a cliff, or react in some other unintuitive way could very well be the result of a QQQ/SPY level being reached. Even though many of us know that this relationship exists, it’s easy to forget. So, this indicator helps to ensure that its users keep that relationship front and center. By extending the lines into the past on QQQ/SPY and their related assets, you can see what reactions happened at these key levels. Other Usage Notes and Limitations: The calculations used only provide an estimated relationship or a close approximation, and are not exact. It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.

Bull Flag Detection The FuturesGod bull flag indicator aims to identify the occurrence of bull flags. Bull flags are a popular trading pattern that allows users to gauge long entries into a given market. Flags consist of a pole that is followed by either a downward or sideways consolidation period. This script can be used on any market but was intended for futures (NQ, ES) trading on the intraday timeframe. The script does the following: 1. Identifies the occurrence of a flag pole. This is based on a lookback period and percentage threshold decided by the user. 2. Marks the consolidation area after the pole occurrence using swing highs and swing lows. 3. Visually the above is represented by a shaded green area. 4. When a pole is detected, it is marked by a downward off-white triangle. Note that if the percentage threshold is reached several times on the same upward climb, the script will continue to identify points where the threshold for pole detection is met. 5. Also visualized are the 20, 50 and 200 period exponential moving averages. The area between the 20 and 50 EMAs are shaded to provide traders a visual of a possible support area.

High/Low of week: Stats & Day of Week tendencies // Purpose: -To show High of Week (HoW) day and Low of week (LoW) day frequencies/percentages for an asset. -To further analyze Day of Week (DoW) tendencies based on averaged data from all various custom weeks. Giving a more reliable measure of DoW tendencies ('Meta Averages'). -To backtest day-of-week tendencies: across all asset history or across custom user input periods (i.e. consolidation vs trending periods). -Education: to see how how data from a 'hard-defined-week' may be misleading when seeking statistical evidence of DoW tendencies. // Notes & Tips: -Only designed for use on DAILY timeframe. -Verification table is to make sure HoW / LoW DAY (referencing previous finished week) is printing correctly and therefore the stats table is populating correctly. -Generally, leaving Timezone input set to "America/New_York" is best, regardless of your asset or your chart timezone. But if misaligned by 1 day =>> tweak this timezone input to correct -If you want to use manual backtesting period (e.g. for testing consolidation periods vs trending periods): toggle these settings on, then click the indicator display line three dots >> 'Reset Points' to quickly set start & end dates. // On custom week start days: -For assets like BTC which trade 7 days a week, this is quite simple. Pick custom start day, use verification table to check all is well. See the start week day & time in said verification table. -For traditional assets like S&P which trade only 5 days a week and suffer from occasional Holidays, this is a bit more complicated. If the custom start day input is a bank holiday, its custom 'week' will be discounted from the data set. E.g.1: if you choose 'use custom start day' and set it to Monday, then bank holiday Monday weeks will be discounted from the data set. E.g.2: If you choose 'use custom start day' and set it to Thursday, then the Holiday Thursday custom week (e.g Thanksgiving Thursday >> following Weds) would be discounted from the data set. // On 'Meta Averages': -The idea is to try and mitigate out the 'continuation bias' that comes from having a fixed week start/end time: i.e. sometimes a market is trending through the week start/end time, so the start/end day stats are over-weighted if one is trying to tease out typical weekly profile tendencies or typical DoW tendencies. You'll notice this if you compare the stats with various custom start days ('bookend' start/end days are always more heavily weighted). I wanted to try to mitigate out this 'bias' by cycling through all the possible new week start/end days and taking an average of the results. i.e. on BTC/USD the 'meta average' for Tuesday would be the average of the Tuesday HoW frequencies from the set of all 7 possible custom weeks(Mon-Sun, Tues-Mon, Weds-Tues, etc etc). // User Inputs: ~Week Start: -use custom week start day (default toggled OFF); Choose custom week start day -show Meta Averages (default toggled ON) ~Verification Table: -show table, show new week lines, number of new week lines to show -table formatting options (position, color, size) -timezone (only for tweaking if printed DoW is misaligned by 1 day) ~Statistics Table: -show table, table formatting options (position, color, size) ~Manual Backtesting: -Use start date (default toggled OFF), choose start date, choose vline color -Use end date (defautl toggled OFF), choose end date, choose vline color // Demo charts: NQ1! (Nasdaq), Full History, Traditional week (Mon>>Friday) stats. And Meta Averages. Annotations in purple: NQ1! (Nasdaq), Full History, Custom week (custom start day = Wednesday). And Meta Averages.

This includes QQQ, NDX, NQ, and NAS100USD. Although these instruments often move in sync, differences in price movements, volume, and trading hours can create unique key levels and support/resistance areas for each. By mapping these levels on the same chart, traders can more easily spot trading opportunities and improve their chances of success. Customizable features - multiplier from the closest whole number price level - line color - line style - label position / size - # of levels to display - toggle current price display table

Convert ETF to Futures/Index This indicator is used to automatically map an ETF's VWAP and 10 levels above and below the strike of your choice, to the futures or index instrument currently being viewed/traded. This works very well when using both SPY to ES/MES/SPX or QQQ to NQ/MNQ/NDX to plot the ETF strikes and can lead to some incredible trades, especially when trading level to level. Since SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA have the same price action as their futures iteration, there seems to be a direct correlation between their levels and VWAP . This indicator is made to easily map these key levels to the appropriate futures instrument. If you have a way to measure GEX centered around a certain level, I recommend color coding the lines to help indicate whether the level will have strong positive or negative gamma hedging associated with it.

SPY to ES or QQQ to NQ This indicator is used to automatically map SPY VWAP and 10 levels of your choice to ES / MES or map QQQ VWAP and 10 levels of your choice to NQ / MNQ . Since SPY and QQQ have the same price action as their futures iteration, there seems to a direct correlation between their levels and VWAP. This indicator is made to easily map the key levels of your choice to the appropriate futures instrument.

Cowabunga System from babypips.com Please do read the information below as well, especially if you are new to Forex. The Cowabunga System is a type of Mechanical Trading System that filters trades based on the trend of the 4 hour chart with EMAs and some other familiar indicators (RSI, Stochastics and MACD) while entering trades base on 15 minute chart. I have coded (quite amateurishly) the basic system onto a 15 minute chart (the 4 hour settings are coded as well). The author says the system is to be traded off the 15 minute chart with the 4 hour chart only as a reference for trend direction. 4 Hour Chart Settings 5 EMA 10 EMA Stochastics (10,3,3) RSI (9) Then we move onto the 15 minute chart, where he gives us the trade entry rules. 15 Minute Chart Settings 5 EMA 10 EMA Stochastics (10,3,3) RSI (9) MACD (12,26,9) Entry Rules - long entry rules used, obviously reverse these for shorting. 1. EMA must cross above the 10 EMA. 2. RSI must be greater than 50 and not overbought. 3. Stochastic must be headed up and not be in overbought territory. 4. MACD histogram must go from negative to positive OR be negative and start to increase in value. What I did. 1. Set the RSI and Stochastic levels to avoid entries when they indicate overbought conditions for long and oversold conditions for short (80 and 20 levels). 2. Users can input specific times they want to backtest. 3. User's can configure profit targets, trailing stops and stops. Default is set it to was 100 pips profit target with a 40 pip trailing stop. (Note, when you are changing these values, please note that each pip is worth 10, so 100 pips is entered as 1000.) The Cowabunga System from babypips.com is another popular and active system. The author, Pip Surfer, continues to post wins and losses with this system. It shows there is a lot of honesty and integrity with this system if the author keeps up to date even 10 years later and is not afraid of sharing the times the system causes losses. As an example of this, here is post he shared just last week . It's almost like a journal, he gives specific times and reasons why he entered, lets the readers know when he was stopped out, etc. I think that what he does is equally important as his system.
