Vegastunnel — Indicators and Strategies

Multi-Step Vegas SuperTrend - strategy [presentTrading]Long time no see! I am back : ) Please allow me to gain some warm-up. █ Introduction and How it is Different The "Vegas SuperTrend Strategy" is an enhanced trading strategy that leverages both the Vegas Channel and SuperTrend indicators to generate buy and sell signals. What sets this strategy apart from others is its dynamic adjustment to market volatility and its multi-step take profit mechanism. Unlike traditional single-step profit-taking approaches, this strategy allows traders to systematically scale out of positions at predefined profit levels, thereby optimizing their risk-reward ratio and maximizing potential gains. BTCUSD 6hr performance █ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation The Vegas SuperTrend Strategy combines the strengths of the Vegas Channel and SuperTrend indicators to identify market trends and generate trade signals. The following subsections delve into the details of how each component works and how they are integrated. 🔶 Vegas Channel Calculation The Vegas Channel is based on a simple moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation (STD) of the closing prices over a specified period. The channel is defined by upper and lower bounds that are dynamically adjusted based on market volatility. Simple Moving Average (SMA): SMA_vegas = (1/N) * Σ(Close_i) for i = 0 to N-1 where N is the length of the Vegas Window. Standard Deviation (STD): STD_vegas = sqrt((1/N) * Σ(Close_i - SMA_vegas)^2) for i = 0 to N-1 Vegas Channel Upper and Lower Bounds: VegasChannelUpper = SMA_vegas + STD_vegas VegasChannelLower = SMA_vegas - STD_vegas The details are here: 🔶 Trend Detection and Trade Signals The strategy determines the current market trend based on the closing price relative to the SuperTrend bounds: Market Trend: MarketTrend = 1 if Close > SuperTrendPrevLower -1 if Close < SuperTrendPrevUpper Previous Trend otherwise Trade signals are generated when there is a shift in the market trend: Bullish Signal: When the market trend shifts from -1 to 1. Bearish Signal: When the market trend shifts from 1 to -1. 🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit Mechanism The strategy incorporates a multi-step take profit mechanism that allows for partial exits at predefined profit levels. This helps in locking in profits gradually and reducing exposure to market reversals. Take Profit Levels: The take profit levels are calculated as percentages of the entry price: TakeProfitLevel_i = EntryPrice * (1 + TakeProfitPercent_i/100) for long positions TakeProfitLevel_i = EntryPrice * (1 - TakeProfitPercent_i/100) for short positions Multi-steps take profit local picture: █ Trade Direction The trade direction can be customized based on the user's preference: Long: The strategy only takes long positions. Short: The strategy only takes short positions. Both: The strategy can take both long and short positions based on the market trend. █ Usage To use the Vegas SuperTrend Strategy, follow these steps: Configure Input Settings: - Set the ATR period, Vegas Window length, SuperTrend Multiplier, and Volatility Adjustment Factor. - Choose the desired trade direction (Long, Short, Both). - Enable or disable the take profit mechanism and set the take profit percentages and amounts for each step. █ Default Settings The default settings of the strategy are designed to provide a balanced approach to trading. Below is an explanation of each setting and its effect on the strategy's performance: ATR Period (10): This setting determines the length of the ATR used in the SuperTrend calculation. A longer period smoothens the ATR, making the SuperTrend less sensitive to short-term volatility. A shorter period makes the SuperTrend more responsive to recent price movements. Vegas Window Length (100): This setting defines the period for the Vegas Channel's moving average. A longer window provides a broader view of the market trend, while a shorter window makes the channel more responsive to recent price changes. SuperTrend Multiplier (5): This base multiplier adjusts the sensitivity of the SuperTrend to the ATR. A higher multiplier makes the SuperTrend less sensitive, reducing the frequency of trade signals. A lower multiplier increases sensitivity, generating more signals. Volatility Adjustment Factor (5): This factor dynamically adjusts the SuperTrend multiplier based on the width of the Vegas Channel. A higher factor increases the sensitivity of the SuperTrend to changes in market volatility, while a lower factor reduces it. Take Profit Percentages (3.0%, 6.0%, 12.0%, 21.0%): These settings define the profit levels at which portions of the trade are exited. They help in locking in profits progressively as the trade moves in favor. Take Profit Amounts (25%, 20%, 10%, 15%): These settings determine the percentage of the position to exit at each take profit level. They are distributed to ensure that significant portions of the trade are closed as the price reaches the set levels, reducing exposure to reversals. Adjusting these settings can significantly impact the strategy's performance. For instance, increasing the ATR period or the SuperTrend multiplier can reduce the number of trades, potentially improving the win rate but also missing out on some profitable opportunities. Conversely, lowering these values can increase trade frequency, capturing more short-term movements but also increasing the risk of false signals.

MTF Vegas tunnel & pivots A script made to simplify trend identification, major and minor pivot but also bollinger band based signal It is composed of a suite of indicators tuned to match my trading style. Feel free to tune settings. Multi timeframe vegas tunnel As you know, vegas tunnel are composed of 3 ema (144, 169, 233) which you can tune length in the parameters. Those are used to identify possible support & resistance zone. Having support & resistance allow you to easily identify the trend. But what is even better is to be able to always have an global view of the market without having to switch time frame. This is why vegas tunnel are displayed from 1m to Daily (1m, 5m, 15m, H1, H4 & D). This is to be able to identify trend/support/resistance on a given timeframe while keeping an eye on the upper timeframe Major and minor pivot: This part is based on benchch Major and Minor Fib points It will highlight high and low if no new high or low has been established for a given period of time. Super useful to find high and low to draw fib retracement to find your trade entry point, SL, PTP and TP BB% Signal: Last but not least BB signal. This is based on the TV indicator BB% indicator but adding signal on chart when crossing up or down 0.8 & 0.2. It allow you to potentially find weakness in the current movement and should alarm you that it might be time to find an entry or get out of your current trade.

Tunnel equality Hello all. This is a simply indicator to be used in conjunction with my Vegas tunnel script. The histogram indicates the change in the distance between the 2 moving averages that make up the Vegas tunnel. When the histogram starts to fall or rise, it means that momentum is changing and can be an early warning signal to watch out for what Vegas describes as equality. Please research his material on line to learn more. Enjoy!

Vegas tunnel Hi all, This is the first step in putting together a more comprehensive suite of indicators and strategies based around the original Vegas tunnel method. You will need to know what that is before trying to use this indicator. I would implore you to take the time to read the document. It's free to the universe and is a very valuable piece of work in my opinion. Here is the link to the original documentation dl.fxf1.com This indicator is set up to use the original levels as described by Vegas. Future releases will allow for more custom levels. A note on the target waves. Vegas gives us the levels of 55, 89 and 233...all in FX pips. You will need to adjust that for your instrument and it is your personal preference. If you are using BTC , you might use $55, $89 etc, for ETH $5.50, $8.90 etc, for S+P 55, 89, 233 or for FX, the number might be 0.0055 etc The indicator has been left blank so you can fill the target waves in yourself. A note on the templates The original template is simply as Vegas described it in his document, change it as you wish The TD template comes from where I first was introduced to the concept. I can't mention the full source here, but some of you will know to what I am referring to. A massive thanks to TD for all the material they have provided the world. The HH (Hero Hedge) template is just my way of looking at the wave. It's green when the faster MA is above the slower MA and red for the opposite. It doesn't really mean much, it's just a visual reference. Perhaps you can use it to filter signals if you so wish. Finally, some of you may notice that I am an amateur coder at best. If you think you can improve or tidy up the code, then by all means, please reach out and collaborate with me. I am trying to produce something to the benefit of all. I hope this can help you. If it does, then please pay it forward as I am trying to do. Hero Hedge.
