Tarasenko — Indicators and Strategies

AFR Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting anything for so long again. I will be active in July, after passing my university exams. I bought some S&C magazine archives, so await my new post strategies and indicator in July, as things are gonna get real interesting! But for now let me hand you some new and interesting stuff — AFR indicator. Actually, this is my third time republishing this indicator after a big timeout because of the battles with TV mods on reference politics (which I lost). This is indicator was originaly made by some user from other trading website, which I can't mention because of TV reference politics. Which principles are behind AFR? First we define our own low and high (OL and OH respectively), which are equal to: OL = open - ATR * ATR_Factor OH = open + ATR * ATR_Factor, where ATR — Average True Range, ATR_Factor — "Factor" in the settings — multiplier for ATR. On each tick we remember AFR's value from previous bar, if it is not 0. When OL is greater then AFR, then AFR is equal to OL. It means that there is probably an uptrend, so we adjust AFR accordingly. When OH is lower then AFR, then AFR is equal to OH. It means that there is probably a downtrend, so we adjust AFR accordingly. How to use? Green AFR — bullish trend. Red AFR — bearish trend. Green AFR's triangle up — buy signal — appears when AFR changes it's colour from red to green. Red AFR's triangle down— sell signal — appears when AFR changes it's colour from green to red. ALERTS INCLUDED! My personal ecommendations - You can AFR as a tool to find short-term and middle-term trends, as it does it's best to find such trends; - If are a scalper, then you probably should try AFR on low factor settings, as AFR alone can find good scalping entries. - As AFR is a trend indicator, please use it with other confirmation indicator to make better entries. Hope you will find this script useful. Take your profits! - Tarasenko Fyodor

Swing Boxes Hey, folks! Sorry for not posting anything for such a long time. Don't have enough ideas and resources to get inspiration, so trying to brainstorm good stuff in my free time from university studies. But despite my absence more I now have 300+ people subscribed to me! Thanks, guys, for keeping interest for my work, as I still do value each boost on my script, for real :) So here is new script , enjoy! Swing Boxes is pretty simple indicator, which plots signals with "boxes", that help you determine price targets. What is the idea behind? I wanted to make indicator, that could help me make swing trades with nice accuracy (as all we want, lol), and for signal criteria I decided to use highs and lows of the price . Then I started coding some ideas to see which of them could be worthy. And, actually, Swing Boxes appeared to be good. But the thing is, that I didn't intend to build them, they appeared as an anomaly from my code :) I started to explore this anomaly (it looked super cool, but was repainting hard) to fix it and I succeeded, now Swng Boxes don't repaint. The main idea is that when price goes above it's highest value of p-bars back or below it's lowest value p-bars back, then there is a some god probability, that price will continue to follow current direction. And the things about Swing Boxes is that when there is a good trend movement, the boxes become super small to track price movement and when price breaks out in the counter-trend direction, then you will be able to almost perfectly catch a top or a bottom! But most of the signals won't be so high-quality, so don't think that is this some holy grail to trade swing-trading, because it is not. Signal logic Quick hint: - epsilon(variable e ) = ATR * ATR_Factor . It is used to determine box's sensitivity to price changes. If previous close is higher than variable, which contains previous HIGHEST value (variable h in the code), then update the this variable by taking up-to-date highest value and add epsilon( e ) to it; If previous close is lower than variable, which contains previous LOWEST value (variable l in the code), then update the this variable by taking up-to-date lowest value and substract epsilon( e ) from it. Variables decribed above ( h and l ) are box's top and bottom respectively, so if price cross them, it is logical to update it is value. Settings and what is what Swing Box Period - numbers fo bars in the past to find highest and lowest price from. The bigger the input, the bigger the boxes will be; ATR Period; ATR Factor - multiplier for ATR, determines sensitivity for price changes. The bigger this input, the more accurate signals will be, but less the probability that the signal will be on the top or a bottom. Show Boxes? - when chosen, plots box's top and bottom. Used to determine price targets. Show Baseline? - when chosen, plot's baseline, which midline between box's top and bottom. How to use? This indicator plots green and red triangles by default. - Green triangle --> Buy ; - Red triangle --> Sell ; As I've said before, many signals from indicator will probably be garbage, so you need to tune settings for youself, so it could satisfy you . You can enable showing boxes to see box's top and bottom. Box's bottom --> your entry, top --> your profit target. If you find a way to sort bad signals, you will be able to trade with super cool RR, because the signal from Swing Boxes appear to be a good one, there is almost 95% probability, that price will not even come close to your stop loss, so you can trade with super small stop-losses! Smaller stop-loss --> smaller risk --> smaller loss --> bigger profit, it is that easy. Also you can enable baseline to use at as your 1st TP, and box's top/bottom as 2nd TP, closing 25% on TP1 and the rest on TP2 (but that is just mine recommendation, you can use different RM (risk-management), if you want). Also you can use baseline as your S/R (Support/Resistance) line, test it out on your charts. And please, hear me out: as all other indicators out here on the TradingView, Swing Boxes ARE NOT meant to be traded in solo! Many bad signal can go in a row, so PLEASE find your way to filter out bad signals with other indicators. You can see here the example of a garabge-class signal in a row, so be don't be deluded! I do hope that somebody will suggest and idea to improve this thing, as I personally don't have enough time to think about it because of my university studies, but I will probably try it make this thing better throughout the time. And that's it for now, folks! If you have any ideas for scripts, strategies or anything else, feel free to DM me or leave a comment, I will check it. Hope you will find this script useful.

Generalized Smooth Step Hello, folks. Sorry for not posting anything for a long time, just busy with my university studies for the moment. Quick script for today — Smooth Step. You can search for it in Wikipedia, but saying shortly and informatively, this is just an advanced type of oscillator, used as momentum indicator. In the codes across the Internet everybody uses the 3rd order equation, BUT I found it kinda boring to use indicator this simple, so I made an option to choose the order of the equation in the settings — parameter "Order of the equation". This why it is called generalized smooth step, as it makes possible to use equation of virtually any order. It is limited to 18 because very strange behaviour that you get after passing 18th order (it jsut becomes not tradeable any longer). As I've mentioned above, it is an advanced version of classical oscillator, used as momentum indicator . How to use it? If smooth step is above 50, then the price momentum is bullish; If smooth step is below 50, then the price momentum is bearish. As simple as it is, it becomes useful enough on the higher timeframes (>=1H), so feel free to play with it and find optimal settings for yourself. Hints Try perform different smoothing and leading methods (developed by Ehler) to get better results; You can use smooth step as confirmation/filter for trend-following trades. Hope you will find it valueable. Take your profits! - Tarasenko Fyodor RU: Привет, ребята. Извините, что долго ничего не выкладывал, просто сейчас занят учебой в университете. Быстрый скрипт на сегодня — Smooth Step. Вы можете поискать его теоретическое обоснование в Википедии, но если говорить кратко и информативно, то это совершенствованный тип классического осциллятора, используемый в качестве моментум-индикатора . В кодах в интернете все используют уравнение 3-го порядка, НО Мне было скучно пользоваться таким простым индикатором, поэтому я сделал возможность выбирать порядок уравнения в настройках — параметр " Порядок уравнения». Поэтому он называется обобщеннымsmooth step, так как позволяет использовать уравнение практически любого порядка. Я ограничил порядок уравнения 18 , потому что индикатор показывает начинается очень странное поведение, когда вы делаете порядок больше 18 (индикатор просто начинается вести семя хаотично, что ли). Как я уже упоминал выше, это усовершенствованная версия классического осциллятора, используемого в качестве моментум-индикатора . Как им пользоваться? Если smooth step выше 50, то импульс цены бычий; Если smooth steз\p ниже 50, то импульс цены медвежий. Хоть это и очень простой индикатор, он может оказаться достаточно полезным на старших таймфреймах (>=1H), так что не стесняйтесь играть с ним и находить оптимальные настройки для себя. Советы Попробуйте использовать различные методы сглаживания и лидирования (разработан Джоном Элером (John Ehler)), чтобы получить лучшие результаты; Вы можете использовать smooth step в качестве подтверждения/фильтра для сделок, следующих за трендом. Надеюсь, этот скрипт будет вам полезен. Получите прибыль! - Тарасенко Фёдор

[EDU] RSI Momentum Bands RSI Momentum Bands serve a purpose to find best RSI momentum for entering a trade. Indicator is built simply: 1st RSI MA is smoothed RSI by little period, 2nd RSI MA is smoothed RSI by a bigger period. Then we calculate standard deviation from the 2nd MA and make upper and lower band. The rules for trades are simple: When RSI is above higher band - Buy ; When RSI is below lower band - Sell . The indicator is for educational purposes only to present trades a momentum bands concepts, widely used across professionals. Hope you will find it helpful. Take your profits! - Tarasenko Fyodor

Q-Trend Q-Trend is an multipurpose indicatorm that can be used for swing- and trend-trading equally on any timeframe (non-volatile markets are better for this thing). Settings: Trend period - used to calculate trend line in the special moments(will explain below); ATR Multiplier - changes sensitivity. The higher the multiplier = the more sensitive it is. Also option to smooth source data (helps get cleaner signals, as always). How to use? Signals are given on the chart. Also ou can use trend line as S/R line. The idea behind: Terms: SRС = Source TL = trend line; MP = ATR multiplier; ATR = ATR :) TL = (highest of source P-bars back + lowest of source P-bars back) / 2 Epsilon = MP * ATR I was thinking for a week about combining volatility and relation between highest and lowest price point. That why I called indicator Q-Trend = Quantitative Trend , as I was trying to think about price in a mathematical way. Okay, time to go philosophical: 1) TL is shows good price trend, but as it is slow enough and not enough informative, we need add additional conditions to produce signals. 2) Okay, so what can we add as conditions? We need to take volatility into account, as it is crucial in the moments of market uncertainty. So let's use ATR (Average True Range) somehow. My idea is that if SRC breaks TL + ATR , then it means that there will be upmove and we update our TL . Analogically for SRC breaking TL - ATR (breaks are crosses of TL +- ATR lines) . Conclusion: - if SRC breaks TL + ATR , it is a BUY signal and update of trend line; - if SRC breaks TL - ATR , it is a SELL signal and update of trend line; I think that such indicator already exisits on TradingView, as I've already saw something similar, but long ago, so please don't report, if such thing already exists. But if not, then I hope, that you will gain some profits with Q-Trend :) I will continue my work on this thing, so stay tuned. Trade with your own risks and have your profits!
