Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify trading opportunities based on the closing price's position within the daily price range. It enters a long position when the IBS indicates oversold conditions and exits when the IBS reaches overbought levels. This strategy was designed to be used on the daily timeframe.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
- **Low IBS (≤ 0.2)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- **High IBS (≥ 0.8)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The IBS value drops below the Lower Threshold (default: 0.2).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the IBS value rises to or above the Upper Threshold (default: 0.8). This prompts the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Upper Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy exits trades. Default is 0.8.
Lower Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy enters long positions. Default is 0.2.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for ranging markets and performs best when prices frequently revert to the mean.
It is sensitive to extreme IBS values, which help identify potential reversals.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the Upper/Lower Thresholds for specific instruments and market conditions.
Bollinger Bands Reversal Strategy Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
The Bollinger Bands Reversal Overlay is a versatile trading tool designed to help traders identify potential reversal opportunities using Bollinger Bands. It provides visual signals, performance metrics, and a detailed table to analyze the effectiveness of reversal-based strategies over a user-defined lookback period.
█ KEY FEATURES
Bollinger Bands Calculation
The indicator calculates the standard Bollinger Bands, consisting of:
A middle band (basis) as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price.
An upper band as the basis plus a multiple of the standard deviation.
A lower band as the basis minus a multiple of the standard deviation.
Users can customize the length of the Bollinger Bands and the multiplier for the standard deviation.
Reversal Signals
The indicator identifies potential reversal signals based on the interaction between the price and the Bollinger Bands.
Two entry strategies are available:
Revert Cross: Waits for the price to close back above the lower band (for longs) or below the upper band (for shorts) after crossing it.
Cross Threshold: Triggers a signal as soon as the price crosses the lower band (for longs) or the upper band (for shorts).
Trade Direction
Users can select a trade bias:
Long: Focuses on bullish reversal signals.
Short: Focuses on bearish reversal signals.
Performance Metrics
The indicator calculates and displays the performance of trades over a user-defined lookback period ( barLookback ).
Metrics include:
Win Rate: The percentage of trades that were profitable.
Mean Return: The average return across all trades.
Median Return: The median return across all trades.
These metrics are calculated for each bar in the lookback period, providing insights into the strategy's performance over time.
Visual Signals
The indicator plots buy and sell signals on the chart:
Buy Signals: Displayed as green triangles below the price bars.
Sell Signals: Displayed as red triangles above the price bars.
Performance Table
A customizable table is displayed on the chart, showing the performance metrics for each bar in the lookback period.
The table includes:
Win Rate: Highlighted with gradient colors (green for high win rates, red for low win rates).
Mean Return: Colored based on profitability (green for positive returns, red for negative returns).
Median Return: Colored similarly to the mean return.
Time Filtering
Users can define a specific time window for the indicator to analyze trades, ensuring that performance metrics are calculated only for the desired period.
Customizable Display
The table's font size can be adjusted to suit the user's preference, with options for "Auto," "Small," "Normal," and "Large."
█ PURPOSE

It enters a long position when specific conditions are met and exits when the price exceeds the high of the previous day. This strategy is optimized for use on daily or higher timeframes.
█ WHAT IS THE 5-DAY LOW?
The 5-Day Low is the lowest price observed over the last five days. This level is used as a reference to identify potential oversold conditions and reversal points.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The close price is below the lowest low of the previous five days (`close < _lowest `).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the high of the previous day (`close > high `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for mean-reverting markets and performs best when the price frequently oscillates around key support levels.
It is sensitive to oversold conditions, as indicated by the 5-Day Low, and overbought conditions, as indicated by the previous day's high.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the strategy for specific instruments and market conditions.
3-Bar Low Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "3-Bar Low Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify potential buying opportunities when the price drops below the lowest low of the previous three bars. It enters a long position when specific conditions are met and exits when the price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars. This strategy is suitable for use on various timeframes.
█ WHAT IS THE 3-BAR LOW?
The 3-Bar Low is the lowest price observed over the last three bars. This level is used as a reference to identify potential oversold conditions and reversal points.
█ WHAT IS THE 7-BAR HIGH?
The 7-Bar High is the highest price observed over the last seven bars. This level is used as a reference to identify potential overbought conditions and exit points.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The close price is below the lowest low of the previous three bars (`close < _lowest `).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
If the EMA Filter is enabled, the close price must also be above the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
MA Period: The lookback period for the 200-period EMA used in the EMA Filter. Default is 200.
Use EMA Filter: Enables or disables the EMA Filter for long entries. Default is disabled.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

It is sensitive to oversold conditions, as indicated by the 3-Bar Low, and overbought conditions, as indicated by the 7-Bar High.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the MA Period and EMA Filter settings for specific instruments.
Average High-Low Range + IBS Reversal Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Average High-Low Range + IBS Reversal Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify potential buying opportunities when the price deviates significantly from its average high-low range and the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) indicates oversold conditions. It enters a long position when specific conditions are met and exits when the price shows strength by exceeding the previous bar's high. This strategy is suitable for use on various timeframes.
█ WHAT IS THE AVERAGE HIGH-LOW RANGE?
The Average High-Low Range is calculated as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the difference between the high and low prices over a specified period. It helps identify periods of increased volatility and potential reversal points.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) is a measure of where the closing price is relative to the high and low of the bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
A low IBS value (e.g., below 0.2) indicates that the close is near the low of the bar, suggesting oversold conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The close price has been below the buy threshold (calculated as `upper - (2.5 * hl_avg)`) for a specified number of consecutive bars (`bars_below_threshold`).
The IBS value is below the specified buy threshold (`ibs_buy_treshold`).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).

Dip & Rip Patterns - The Quant Science🇺🇸
GENERAL OVERVIEW
This indicator detects Dip and Rip patterns by quickly highlighting them on the chart.
These patterns have become popular during the pandemic period mainly in the stock, ETF and cryptocurrency markets on which traders use two interesting strategies:
Buy The Dip
Sell The Rip
Before going into the merits of this technical indicator, let's understand what these two patterns mean and what they identify precisely.
Rip (Rise In Price) : wants to identify a market condition in which the price rises rapidly, for example from $100 to $110 in a few minutes or hours.
Dip (Drop In Price) : wants to identify a market condition in which the price drops rapidly, for example from $100 to $90 in a few minutes or hours.
HOW TO USE
For a better user experience, we recommend choosing a neutral colour for the candles while analysing with this indicator. You can quickly change the colour in Chart Settings > Symbol > Candles .
Depending on the configuration set by the user, the indicator will show Dip (Dip In Price) patterns in red and Rip (Rise In Price) patterns in green.
When the pattern forms, a circle will be displayed and a vertical line will be coloured on the chart along with the body of the candle. The user will then be able to quickly and easily track the configured market conditions.
In this example, we decided to use a 4H timeframe on the BTC/USDT pair (Binance).

BTFD strategy [3min]Hello
I would like to introduce a very simple strategy to buy lows and sell with minimal profit
This strategy works very well in the markets when there is no clear trend and in other words, the trend going sideways
this strategy works very well for stable financial markets like spx500, nasdaq100 and dow jones 30
two indicators were used to determine the best time to enter the market:
volume + rsi values
volume is usually the number of stocks or contracts traded over a certain period of time. Thus, it is an important indicator of market activity and liquidity. Each transaction constitutes an individual exchange between the buyer and the seller and constitutes the trading volume of a given instrument or asset.
The RSI measures the strength of uptrends versus downtrends. The signal is the entry or exit of the indicator value of the oversold or overbought level of the market. It is assumed that a value below or equal 30 indicates an oversold level of the market, and an RSI value above or equal 70 indicates an overbought level.
the strategy uses a maximum of 5 market entries after each candle that meets the condition
uses 5 target point levels to close the position:
tp1= 0.4%
tp2= 0.6%
tp3= 0.8%
tp4= 1.0%
tp5= 1.2%
after reaching a given profit value, a piece of the position is cut off gradually, where tp5 closes 100% of the remaining position
each time you enter a position, a stop loss of 5.0% is set, which is quite a high value, however, when buying each, sometimes very active downward price movement, you need a lot of space for market decisions in which direction it wants to go
to determine the level of stop loss and target point I used a piece of code by RafaelZioni , here is the script from which a piece of code was taken
this strategy is used for automation, however, I would recommend brokers that have the lowest commission values when opening and closing positions, because the strategy generates very high commission costs
Enjoy and trade safe ;)
LNL Pullback ArrowsBuying the dip has never been easier! LNL Pullback Arrows are here to pinpoint the best possible entries for the trend following setups. With the Pullback Arrows, trader can pick his own approach and risk level thanks to four different types of arrows. The goal of these arrows is to force the traders to scale in & out of trades which is in my opinion crucial when it comes to trend following strategies. These arrows were designed primarily for the daily & weekly time frame (swing trading).
Four Types of Pullback Arrows:
1. Aggro Arrows - Ideal for aggresive approach during parabolic trends. Sometimes trends are so strong that the price barely revisits the daily 8 EMA. This is where the aggro arrows can perfectly pinpoint the aggresive high risk entries. Ideal for halfsize or 1/4 size of the full position. Aiming for quick 1-2 day moves targeting the recent high/low. These arrows could be also named as scalping arrows for the swing traders. A quick In & Out.
2. HalfSize Arrows - Medium risk approach. First arrows to scale in. HalfSize arrows are the first sign that the pullback might be ending, yet there is still some space left for an even deeper pullback. That is the reason why they are called half-size. Ideally taken with half-sized position. When trading the HalfSize Arrows, It is better to have some "spare ammo in the gun" ready to use.
3. FullSize Arrows - Regular risk approach. These arrows represent a zone where the core of the posititon should be taken. The point of validity for the trend is not that far away, meaning the risk can be kept tight. Ideal for scailing the other halfs or quarters of the full position. Also great for more conservative traders or environments with higher volatility.
4. Rare Arrows - Offer the best risk to reward entries during the trend. Rare Arrows should be the "last kick" of the retracement, therefore stops can be positioned really tight. They either trigger the stop immidiately or they provide another juicy leg up or down in the direction of the trend. However, they really do appear rarely.
Simple EMA Cloud:
A simple cloud based on 21 and 55 exponential moving averages. This default length creates a pullback zone that is wide enough for the conservative traders but also give the opportunities to more aggresive traders. Alternatives such as 8 & 21, or 21 & 34 are forming the zone that is too aggresive and usually too thin. Of course, cloud can be fully adjusted or turned off completely. The only role of the cloud is to gauge the trend.
Tips & Tricks:
1.Importance of the Scailing
- As already stated, scailing is crucial to this since there is no way of knowing the exact level at which the price magically bounce every time. It is hard to tell where and which EMA will be respected. How can we know it will be 21 EMA every time? or 34 EMA or 10 EMA or 100 SMA or 50 DMA ... Single MA does not make a trend. This is the reason why scailing is so important. Scailing can make a difference.
2. Nothing is Perfect
- Same as any other study, nothing works 100% perfectly. Sometimes the setup will go right against you and sometimes the price will fade away sideways and breaks off the structure of the trend. This is not a magic certainty tool. This is just another probability tool.
3. Point of Validity & Other Studies
- Even though the pullback arrows can be a stand-alone strategy. It is important to use other indicators that visualize the actual trend. Whether its EMA Cloud or EMAs or DMI Bars or Keltner Channels, there should be something that validates the trend, something that tells the trend is over. (Pullback Arrows are not showing the actual stops!).
Hope it helps.
Optimized RSI Strategy - Buy The Dips (by Coinrule)Buy low and sell high is every trader's mantra. While this approach looks straightforward in theory, it's sometimes challenging to put into practice. That requires stress-management to buy when price drops and resolution in selling when the price is rising. RSI is a useful tool to implement long-term and effective trading strategies. The script presents an optimized RSI trading strategy that uses a Moving average to spot the best time to buy the dip.
The strategy buys when the RSI is lower than 35, and at the same time, the price is below the MA100. In this way, the approach helps avoid catching early dips, increasing buying when the bottom approaches.
The position closes when the RSI value is above 65 . Depending on the volatility of the coins that the strategy will trade, it's possible to adjust the RSI exit value to chase larger profits.
The setup is optimized on a 15-minutes time frame and trading cryptocurrencies versus USD or stable coins.
The strategies was backtested over 150 times with multiple setups and coin to assess the best long-term system.
The strategy assumes each order to trade 30% of the available capital. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Multi Time Frame Buy the Dips (by Coinrule)Buying the dips is a relatively easy automated trading strategy that can return impressive profits, especially during uptrend times. Not all price drops are for buying, though. This trading system is based on a multi time frame buy-the-dip approach to optimize each trade.
The strategy catches sudden price drops on a 1-hr time frame when the price increases significantly in the last 12 hours. During steep uptrends, profit-taking price actions result in flash crashes that provide great opportunity to enter at convenient prices.
Buy Condition
The setup of the script is optimized on a 30 min time frame. You can adjust the parameters to fit different time frames.
The system gets a buy signal when
- the price drops 1% from the two previous candles (1 hour time frame = two 30-min candles)
- the price is up 3% from the last 12 hours (twenty-four 30-min candles equal the desired time frame)
Sell Condition
Each trade comes with a stop loss of 3% and a take profit of 4%.
This setup has been optimized, running over 150 backtests on more than 20 different crypto trading pairs.
The strategy assumes each order to trade 30% of the available capital. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Buy the Dips (by Coinrule)Taking your first steps into automated trading may be challenging. Coinrule's mission is to make it as easy as possible, also for beginners.
Here follows the best trading strategy to get started with Coinrule. This strategy doesn't involve complex indicators, yet was proved to be effective in the long term for many coins. Results seem to be improved when trading a coin vs Bitcoin.
The strategy buys the dips of a coin to sell with a profit. A stop-loss protects every trade.
Crypto markets offer high volatility and, thus, excellent opportunities for trading. Excluding times of severe downtrend, buying the dip is a simple and effective long-term trading strategy. The buy-signal is set to a 2% drop in a 30-minutes time frame.
Each trade comes with a take profit and a stop loss. Both set at 2%.
You can adjust these percentages to the market volatility as an advanced setup. You can backtest the outcomes using the backtesting tool from Tradingview

BuyTheDipWell, I often had arguments in online forum with a guy who claimed to time the market perfectly without any technical analysis or prior experience. He often claimed that technical analysis does not work and it only works when you trade on other's emotions. He also argued that algorithmic trading isn't profitable - if so, everyone would do that. Hence, I thought I will convert his idea to algorithm.
In his own words, the strategy is as below:
Chose an instrument which is in full uptrend.
Wait for the panic sell and buy the dip
Once market recovers back exit immediately
It seems to do just fine with indexes. But, not so good when it comes to stocks.
Buy The Dips - MA200 OptimisedThe strategy combines a contrarian approach (buying the dips) with a trend-following logic (only when the price is above the MA200)
The strategy seeks to find the best times when buying the dips on the asset should result to be more profitable.
The price above a long-term moving average indicates momentum that increases the possibility of profiting from buying the asset on short-term weakness.
