TSL Drunken BirdA huge shoutout to @anotherDAPTrader for inspiration and support in developing this system! Overview: The Accurate Swing Trading System is a powerful technical analysis tool designed for swing traders on TradingView. It generates precise buy and sell signals based on price action crossing a dynamic Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) level, calculated from recent highs and lows. Enhanced with optional Higher Time Frame (HTF) confluence, the system aligns short-term signals with broader market trends, making it ideal for traders seeking to optimize entries and exits. Visual indicators include signal labels, customizable horizontal lines, a colored TSL line, and optional bar/background coloring. Alerts support trade execution across various assets, such as NASDAQ E-mini futures, stocks, forex, and more. A special shoutout to AnotherDAPTrader for inspiration and support in developing this system! Key Features: Swing Signals: Generates "BUY" and "SELL" signals when the closing price crosses above/below the TSL, based on a user-defined lookback period (Swing). HTF Confluence: Adjusts signals based on the HTF trend (e.g., "EXIT LONG" instead of "SELL" if HTF is bullish), toggleable via Use HTF Confluence. HTF Selection: Choose from 8 timeframes: 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Horizontal Lines: Plots green (buy) and red (sell) lines at the closing price of signal bars, with a toggle to extend lines 50 or 500 bars. TSL Visualization: Displays a TSL line (green if close >= TSL, red if close < TSL) to highlight dynamic support/resistance levels. Bar/Background Coloring: Optionally colors candlesticks and chart background green (bullish) or red (bearish) based on price relative to TSL. Alerts: Configurable alerts for "Buy Signal" and "Sell Signal" on price crossovers/crossunders. Persistent Behavior: All components (signals, labels, lines, TSL, coloring) remain on the chart indefinitely, consistent with the original design. Use Cases: Perfect for swing trading on any timeframe (e.g., 1-minute for scalping, 1-hour for swing trading) and asset (e.g., NASDAQ E-mini futures, stocks, forex). Enhances decision-making by aligning short-term trades with higher timeframe trends. Supports both manual trading (via visual cues) and automated trading (via alerts).

How to Use the Accurate Swing Trading System in TradingView Add the Script to TradingView: Open TradingView (www.tradingview.com) in a browser or desktop app. Navigate to the Pine Editor (bottom panel of any chart). Copy and paste the provided Pine Script code. Click "Add to Chart" to apply the indicator to your active chart. Configure Indicator Settings: Access settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name on the chart. Adjust the following inputs: Swing (default: 3): Defines the lookback period for calculating the highest high and lowest low used in the TSL. Higher values produce smoother but potentially delayed signals. Barcolor (default: true): Enables/disables green (bullish) or red (bearish) candlestick coloring based on close vs. TSL. Bgcolor (default: false): Enables/disables green/red background coloring for trend visualization. Use HTF Confluence (default: true): Enables/disables HTF trend filtering. When enabled, signals adjust to reflect HTF trend (e.g., "EXIT LONG" for sell signals if HTF is bullish). Higher Time Frame (default: "60"): Select from for 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly HTF analysis. Use Long Horizontal Lines (500 bars) (default: true): Toggles horizontal line length between 500 bars (long) and 50 bars (short). Interpret Signals and Visuals: Signal Labels: "BUY" (green, below bar): Triggered when close crosses above TSL (and HTF is bullish or use_htf is off). "SELL" (red, above bar): Triggered when close crosses below TSL (and HTF is bearish or use_htf is off). "EXIT SHORT" (orange, below bar): Triggered on buy signals when HTF is bearish (with use_htf on). "EXIT LONG" (orange, above bar): Triggered on sell signals when HTF is bullish (with use_htf on). Horizontal Lines: Green lines (buy signals) and red lines (sell signals) are plotted at the close price of the trigger bar, aligning with TSL color changes (green to red or vice versa). Lines extend 50 bars (if long_lines is false) or 500 bars (if true) to the right. TSL Line: A continuous line (linewidth=3) showing the TSL level, colored green (close >= TSL) or red (close < TSL). Bar/Background Coloring: If enabled, candlesticks and background are colored green (bullish) or red (bearish) based on close vs. TSL. Set Up Alerts: Right-click the indicator name on the chart and select "Add Alert." Choose "Buy Signal" or "Sell Signal" as the condition. Configure alert settings (e.g., notification method, frequency: once per bar, etc.). Alerts trigger on Buy (crossover) or Sell (crossunder) events, ideal for trade execution or monitoring. Test on a Chart: Apply to a chart (e.g., NASDAQ E-mini futures, 1-minute timeframe, as per your metadata from July 10, 2025, 05:41 PM CDT). Verify: Labels: "BUY", "SELL", "EXIT LONG", "EXIT SHORT" appear only on crossover/crossunder bars. Horizontal Lines: Green/red lines plot at the close price where TSL changes color (green to red for Sell, red to green for Buy), extending 50 or 500 bars based on long_lines. TSL Line: Updates continuously, colored green/red based on close vs. TSL. Coloring: Bar/background coloring (if enabled) reflects trend direction. HTF Confluence: With use_htf on, test htf_res = "M" (and others like "60", "D") to ensure signals adjust correctly (e.g., "EXIT LONG" for sell signals if monthly HTF is bullish). Alerts: Confirm alerts trigger on crossovers/crossunders. Ensure all components persist indefinitely (no decay). Best Practices: Timeframe: Use on any timeframe (e.g., 1m for scalping, 1h for swing trading). Adjust Swing to balance signal frequency and reliability. Asset: Suitable for volatile assets like NASDAQ E-mini futures, stocks, or forex. HTF Alignment: Enable use_htf for trend-aligned trades, especially on higher timeframes like "D" or "M". Line Length: Use long_lines = true for longer-term visualization (500 bars) or false for shorter-term (50 bars). Risk Management: Combine with stop-loss/take-profit levels and proper position sizing, as the system does not include risk management.

ATR > VXN Alert (5m)ATR > VXN Volatility Divergence Indicator This custom TradingView indicator monitors real-time volatility divergence between realized volatility (via Average True Range, ATR) and implied volatility (via the CBOE NASDAQ Volatility Index, VXN). It is inspired by the GJR-GARCH (Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model, which captures asymmetric volatility dynamics—particularly how markets respond more sharply to negative shocks than to positive ones. Core Logic: Chart on NQ 5 minute timeframe ATR (5-min) reflects realized intraday volatility of the Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ). VXN (5-min, delayed) represents forward-looking implied volatility. The indicator highlights regime shifts in volatility: ATR < VXN: Volatility compression → potential energy building up (market coiling). ATR > VXN: Volatility expansion → real movement exceeds expectations → potential breakout zone. Visuals & Alerts: Background turns green when ATR crosses above VXN, signaling a bullish expansion regime. Background turns red when ATR drops below VXN, signaling compression or risk-off environment. Custom alerts trigger on volatility regime shifts for breakout traders. Application (Manual GJR-GARCH Strategy): Similar to how the GJR-GARCH model captures volatility clustering and asymmetry, this indicator identifies when actual price volatility (ATR) begins to spike beyond implied forecasts (VXN), often after periods of contraction—mirroring a conditional variance shock in the GARCH framework. Traders can align with directional bias using technical confluence (order flow, structure breaks, liquidity zones) once expansion is confirmed.

ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts v1.2ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts: User & Training Guide 1. Summary of Features This indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool designed to give you a deep and customizable view of market volume. By analyzing volume in multiple ways, it helps you spot unusual activity, confirm trends, and identify potential reversals. How It Helps a Trader: Spotting Institutional Activity: The core purpose of the Volume Flags (using either the Multiplier or Standard Deviation method) is to highlight bars with exceptionally high volume. These spikes often signal the entry or exit of large institutional players. A high-volume up-bar can confirm bullish conviction, while a high-volume down-bar can signal significant selling pressure. Identifying Climactic Events: The HVE (Highest Volume Ever) and HV1 (Highest Volume - 1 Year) labels automatically pinpoint the most significant volume events on the chart. A "blow-off top" at the end of a long uptrend or a "capitulation" event at a market bottom is almost always accompanied by an HVE or HV1 bar. These are critical moments to watch for potential trend reversals. Gauging Buying vs. Selling Pressure: The Up/Down Volume Ratio gives you a more nuanced view than volume alone. A ratio consistently above 1.2 suggests that buyers are more aggressive, while a ratio below 0.8 suggests sellers are in control. Watching this ratio can help you confirm the strength of a trend or spot divergences where price is rising but the ratio is falling (a potential warning sign). Visual Confirmation & Customization: With options to color both the volume bars and the main price bars, you can get instant visual confirmation of these events without having to look away from the price action. The ability to toggle features on and off keeps your chart clean and focused on what matters most to you. Actionable Alerts: The comprehensive alert system ensures you don't miss a key event. You can be notified of everything from a new all-time high volume bar to a subtle shift in the Up/Down Volume Ratio, allowing you to react to market changes in real-time. 2. User-Changeable Options This indicator is highly customizable. Here is a breakdown of every setting available in the "Inputs" tab. General Settings MA Length: The lookback period for the simple moving average (the gray area plot) of the volume. Volume Flags Color Price Bars with Flags: If checked, the main price bars on your chart will be colored when a high or low volume flag condition is met. Color Volume Bars with Flags: If checked, the volume bars in the indicator pane will be colored for flag conditions. Flag Calculation Method: This is a crucial setting. Multiplier (Default): Identifies high volume based on a simple multiple of the average volume (e.g., volume is 1.4x its average). It's simple and intuitive. Standard Deviation: Identifies high volume based on how statistically unusual it is compared to its recent behavior. This method is more adaptive to changing market volatility. Daily/Weekly Lookback (Multiplier): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average volume when using the "Multiplier" method. Daily/Weekly High-Vol Multiplier: Sets the multiplier for a high volume event (e.g., 1.4). STDEV Length (Daily/Weekly): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average and standard deviation when using the "Standard Deviation" method. STDEV Threshold (Daily/Weekly): Sets the number of standard deviations above the average required to trigger a high volume flag (e.g., 2.0). Daily/Weekly Low-Vol Multiplier: Sets the threshold for a low volume event (e.g., 0.5 means volume is less than 50% of its average). This is always based on the multiplier method. Ratios & Stats Up/Down Ratio Daily/Weekly Lookback: Sets the lookback period for calculating the sum of up volume and down volume for the ratio. Ratio Calculation Method: Close vs. Open: Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the open. Close vs. Previous Close (Default): Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the previous bar's close. This is a common standard. Up Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio exceeds this value, a green "up" arrow will appear. Show Up Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the green "up" arrow. Down Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio falls below this value, a red "down" arrow will appear. Show Down Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the red "down" arrow.

9 EMA Cross 21 EMA Strategy - 1H with 5% TPThe 21/9 EMA crossover strategy is a powerful trend-following method where a buy signal is triggered when the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA, indicating bullish momentum. It works best in trending markets, especially when combined with filters like the 100 EMA to avoid choppy zones. Traders can enhance performance by entering on EMA retests, using a fixed 35-point stop-loss, and setting a 5–8% take profit. This strategy shines on 15-minute to 1-hour charts and can yield massive returns—sometimes up to 300%—when used with discipline and proper risk management. Follow me for more crazy setups!

Friedrich IndicatorThis indicator visualizes trend zones using two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with user-defined lengths (default 32 and 58). It identifies bullish and bearish trends based on the relationship between the shorter and longer EMA and confirms these trends only after they persist for a specified number of bars (confirmBars). Bullish zone (green): When the shorter EMA remains above the longer EMA for at least the confirmation number of bars, both EMAs and the area between them are colored green, indicating a confirmed upward trend. Bearish zone (red): When the shorter EMA stays below the longer EMA for at least the confirmation bars, EMAs and the filled zone turn red, signaling a confirmed downward trend. Neutral zone (white): Before the trend confirmation, the EMAs and the area between are colored white with transparency, representing an unconfirmed or neutral state. The area between the two EMAs is filled with the respective color, providing an intuitive visual cue of market momentum and trend strength directly on the price chart.
