Donchian Channels Strategy by KrisWatersDoncian Channels is a trend tracking indicator developed by Richard Doncian. The upper line of the channel is determined by the highest value seen by the price in the defined period, the lower line of the channel is determined by the lowest value seen by the price in the defined period. The middle line takes the average value of the lower and upper channels.
Strategy Settings:
- Can apply only LONG positions.
- Can apply only SHORT positions.
- Use LONG/SHORT both.
- You can use ATR as a second exit condition. If ATR stop disabled, Donchian upper or lower channel value is use for the exit rule to long and short positions.
Strategy can be able to optimize by changing channel lengths and timeframe.
Trendfollowing
EMA 3/5/10/20/50/100/200Trend follow the fastest moving stocks with the right EMAs to trail your stops.
Maximized Moving Average Crossing (by Coinrule)Using the crossings of two Moving Averages to trade in a trading strategy is a Trend-Following approach. As the name would suggest, to be successful, it requires the asset to be on-trend.
The general limit of a common strategy based on Moving Averages is that they underperform when the market is less volatile or trading sideways. When volatility compresses, the indicators get very close one to another, crossing each other very often. That's exactly the condition when trend-following strategies underperform.
To improve this strategy, it's useful to filter the buy signal using the RSI. When the RSI is close to overbought conditions, that means that the coin is likely trading in an uptrend. Strong uptrends usually come with RSI values that stay overbought for long periods, creating interesting opportunities.
Setup
Buy condition: the MA9 crosses above the MA50, and at the same time, the RSI has a value greater than 55.
Sell condition: the MA9 crosses below the MA50.
The strategy is optimized to provide better results on the 1-hr time frame, but it could work well also on higher time frames, such as the 4-hrs.
The strategy assumes each order to trade 30% of the available capital and opens a trade at a time. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account.
Divergence for Many Indicators v4Hello Traders,
Here is my new year gift for the community, Digergence for Many Indicators v4 . I tried to make it modular and readable as much as I can. Thanks to Pine Team for improving Pine Platform all the time!
How it works?
- On each candle it checks divergences between current and any of last 16 Pivot Points for the indicators.
- it search divergence on choisen indicators => RSI , MACD , MACD Histogram, Stochastic , CCI , Momentum, OBV, VWMACD, CMF and any External Indicator !
- it checks following divergences for 16 pivot points that is in last 100 bars for each Indicator.
--> Regular Positive Digergences
--> Regular Negative Digergences
--> Hidden Positive Digergences
--> Hidden Negative Digergences
- for positive divergences first it checks if closing price is higher than last closing price and indicator value is higher than perious value, then start searching divergence
- for negative divergences first it checks if closing price is lower than last closing price and indicator value is lower than perious value, then start searching divergence
Some Options:
Pivot Period: you set Pivot Period as you wish. you can see Pivot Points using "Show Pivot Points" option
Source for Pivot Points: you can use Close or High/Low as source
Divergence Type: you can choose Divergence type to be shown => "Regular", "Hidden", "Regular/Hidden"
Show Indicator Names: you have different options to show indicator names => "Full", "First Letter", "Don't Show"
Show Divergence Number: option to see number of indicators which has Divergence
Show Only Last Divergence : if you enable this option then it shows only last Positive and Negative Divergences
you can include any External Indicator to see if there is divergence
- enable "Check External Indicator"
- and then choose External indicator name in the list, "External Indicator"
- External indicator name is shown as Extrn
- related external indicator must be added before enabling this option
Coloring, line width and line style options for different type of divergences.
Following Alerts added:
- Positive Regular Divergence Detected
- Negative Regular Divergence Detected
- Positive Hidden Divergence Detected
- Negative Hidden Divergence Detected
Now lets see some examples:
Hidden Divergences:
Regular and Hidden Divergences together:
Showing first letters of indicators:
You can see only the number of indicators which has divergence:
You can see only divergence lines without indicators names and numbers:
option to used different label/line/text colors:
You have option to see only last divergences:
You can change Pivot Period, in following example Pivot Period = 15:
You can use Close or High/Low as Source for Divergence
You can include external indicators and get divergences on it:
Wish you all a happy new year!
Enjoy!
Neapolitan BandsThe Neapolitan Bands were derived from Jean Marc Guillot's 2001 IFTA trading strategy. In his study published by the International Federation of Technical Analysis titled, "Using Indicators from the Derivatives Markets to Forecast FX Moves" Guillot utilizes multiple bollinger bands of various deviations to determine trends and reversals, entries and exits. I isolated this particular part of his overall trading strategy because it has been a useful trend following indicator for me.
Some basics:
Neapolitan Bands can help identify points that a trend starts and ends, as well as reversals when price is ranging.
These bands are typically paired with another indicator like Guillot did to help separate/time trend or reversal signals. (He used MACD, Slow Stochastic, and RSI)
Parts of this indicator:
The period is by default 55 to identify "intermediate" trends. Not short or long term ones.
The blue area shows the 1st standard deviation. This is the "normal range" where price "likes" to be.
The green area shows the 2nd standard deviation and identifies/defines trends. Closes in this area are used for entering trends long or short.
The red area shows the 3rd standard deviation that shows either a spot to take profit/enter a reversal trade, or a point where the market is free falling.
Trend trading rules:
Entry and exit signals for trends are based on price closing above and below the 1st standard deviation, or blue area. If you expect a bullish trend, you buy once price enters the upper green area.
Guillot recommends setting a stop loss to the MA period of the Neapolitan Bands. So if it's 55 periods, you set the stop loss at the 55 SMA.
Reversal trading rules:
For reversals Guillot says, "In a trading range, bands act as supports and resistances. In extreme conditions reversals can occur within or past the 2nd standard deviation." For us, this means that technically anywhere in the green or red areas, a reversal can occur when the price is ranging. Typically this happens at the edges of the bands.
The "edge to edge" trade:
This is a strategy I took from Ichimoku Clouds and applied to the Neapolitan Bands. An "edge to edge" trade is when price closes back into the blue area from one edge, and price travels all the way to the other edge of the blue area. This can apply going from the edge of one green area to the other edge.
Note that this is one piece of Guillot's trading system, and not the whole thing. On top of that I have modified the original parameters to suit the function of trend following, and added an extra bollinger band. Using a shorter period like 20 is more optimal for shorter expected trends or reversals, and it's what Guillot used himself.
Thanks to Sean Nance for reminding me the indicator looks like ice cream! ( coming up with the name :P )
Trend-following RSI Strategy According to classical technical analysis, an RSI above 70 should signal overbought conditions and, thus, a sell-signal. Cryptocurrencies represent a whole new asset class, and they reshape the classical concepts of technical analysis. FOMO-buying can be very powerful, and coins can remain in overbought conditions enough to provide excellent opportunities for scalping trades on the upside.
Building a trend-following trading strategy based on the RSI, which is generally considered a contrarian indicator, may sound counter-intuitive. Over 200 backtests prove that this is a very interesting long-term setup.
The setup is optimized on a 4-hours time frame and trading cryptocurrencies versus USD or stable coins.
The strategy tries to catch coins on sustained uptrends to take advantage of further upside.
The strategy's buy-signal triggers when a coin has an RSI above 70 on a 4-hours time frame.
The strategy sells the coin if a profit of 6% is achieved. Alternatively, it closes the position if the RSI drops below 55, indicating a possible weakening of the trend.
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.
BuyHighSellLow - Pivot pointsAnother version of buy-high sell-low strategy. This time using pivot points.
Strategy is simple:
Buy when price closes above R1 of pivot point level
Sell when price closes below S2 of pivot point level.
Use Resolution parameter to define pivot points. Higher the resolution, longer the trade time will be. If resolution is set to same as symbol, strategy will consider Higher Timeframe Multiplier to derive pivot point resolution.
Uncheck HideBands to see bands created from pivot points.
Another Buy-High Sell-Low strategy published is using donchian channel (Link below)
Moving Averages as Support Resistance MTFHello Traders!
As most of you know that Moving Averages with the lengths 50, 100, 150 and 200 are very important. We should use these this moving averages to figure out S/R levels, the possible reversals points, trend direction etc. we should check these moving averages on Higher Time Frames as well. for example if you look at the chart with 5mins time frame, you should also check it in 1hour and 4hour time frames to see to big picture and main trend. this is important as trend is your friend and you should not take positions against the trend.
I developed this script to show them clearly and make the chart understandable. 1 resistance line above the price and 1 support line below the price, it shows the moving average type, length, time frame and S/R level.
You have option to show SMA or EMA and to include/exclude current time frame, because you may want to see only MAs from higher time frames. you should set higher time frames accordingly.
if you add all moving averages for current and higher time frame the chart looks very crowded as following example:
The script makes it clear to understand the chart better, here an example:
It can show when S/R was broken and you get alert. here an example:
You have coloring and style options, you can change line style and colors as you wish:
Enjoy!
BB21_MA200_StrategyThis strategy follows the trend and keeps you in the trend until it breaks SMA 200
SMA setting is 200
BB setting is 21
BUY
====
when BB is (lower band and upper band) above SMA 200 and price crossing above BB middle line
Partial Exit
==========
When Lower BB crossing down SMA200 , exit 30%
Total Exit
=========
When BB middle band crosses down SMA200 , exit ALL
Stop Loss
======
default is set to 5%
Risk Management
================
This is new parameter I have introduced in my strategies. Default value is 10% . That means , if your capital is 10000 , you are willing to risk 10% of it ... i.e 1000.
It doesnot mean that you are buying shares/units for 1000 only. It is different ...see below
Your trade size is calculated based on Risk% .... capital x risk 5 / stop Loss units
for further explanation you can check Alexander Elder's risk management rule. He mentioned 2% rule for 100K account. But most of us dont have 100K accounts .. . so I have defaulted 10% on 10K account. You can change this values and see the results. It wont change the number of trades or profit factor. It will increase the net profit.

Aroon Oscillator StrategyThis is simple strategy based on Aroon Oscillator. I have found that using length 144 or 169 on hourly chart shows excellent results.
Tested on SPY , QQQ and AAPL. Especially when you look at AAPL results , it has 60% profitable in recent trades. ( Dont assume this will be same for other stocks or ETFs)
Aroon Oscillator setting : 169 ( 169 is square root of 13 ... you can also use fib level 144 , which is square root of 12 )
BUY
When Aroon Oscillator crosses above zero line
Add
if Long position is already opened, and current close is less than BUY price and RSI 13 crossing above 30 line
Exit
when Aroon Oscialltor crosses below zero line
Stop Loss
default stop loss has been set to 5%
Note: I have not plotted RSI to the chart. Please include RSI 13 to see how position gets added ... Also add ema 169 to see how the price is aligned with the Aroon Oscillator

Donchian Channels Strategy - Long Term TrendFor Educational Purposes. Results can differ on different markets and can fail at any time. Profit is not guaranteed.
This only works in a few markets and in certain situations. Changing the settings can give better or worse results for other markets. This is a longer term trend following strategy that uses Donchian Channels for trend following and uses the upper and lower bands to find price breakouts to enter the market and then uses the middle band as a trailing stop to exit. DCs are known as the original trend following strategy made by Richard Donchian.
Usually the middle band uses the same length of the upper and lower bands in its calculation but I included the default option of using a middle band that is double the length of the other bands, but also an option to use the regular input length that most Donchian strategies use if needed. If long term trends are somehow found, this longer middle band lets the profits run longer and lets you see where the long trends were at if the market had any. The double lengthed middle band looks surprisingly very similar to a 3x ATR trailing stop, which is the recommended setting Wilder suggested for trend following. If a good ATR stop or other trailing stop can't be found, this longer middle band can act as a substitute for it.
For some reason I can't seem to find anything related to Donchian strategies on here despite the popularity and simplicity of it, not even a single working one to my liking, so I made my own. It seems this strategy only works in trending markets. I intentionally handpicked a market that the backtest does well on to illustrate the potential it might have for other markets where trending following strategies might work on and what to expect the results in those might be. Trend following strategies are said to have high profits but at the same time lower accuracy due to the failure rate of being able to catch the right trend. If you all got any suggestions or feedback please let me.
Multi Time Frame CandlesHello Traders,
This script can show (upto) 3 candles of another time frames without changing chart time frame realtime . You can choose the time frame and number of candles in the options. You have option to change body and wick colors as well.
in this example number of candles is 2:
You can set body and wick colors:
In this example, weekly candles are shown on 1h chart:
Enjoy!
RSI TrendsRSI is a momentum indicator, however most people seem to be using it to go against the momentum by trying to identify tops/bottoms using it. Its in my opinion the wrong way to be using it. It can be easily used for trend following which seems like a better use for it.
Uptrend - RSI > 60
Downtrend - RSI < 40
Sideways - RSI between 40 and 60
If however not interested in filtering for sideways trends and convert it to a long-short only strategy that stays in market all the time then it can be simply modified by setting both overbought/oversold thresholds to 50. In such a case uptrend will be above 50 and downtrend will be less than 50.
Note: wait for close for current bar to be confirmed as RSI is calculated at close
TrianglePoint strategyThis is trend following strategy ... when price is trading well above 200 ema and forms a triangle (based on number of bars defined)
BUY
====
when fast ema > 200 ema
check for triangle of last N bars (default set to 9)
EXIT
======
when fast ema crosses down middle term ema
if price reaches above 5% of buy , it changes the color to purple. You can close any time or wait for above signal.
STOP LOSS
=======
stop loss default value set to 5%
Note: No triangle shown on the chart. I will find out how to add the lines to the chart.

Support Resistance - Aging [Example]Hello All,
First all of Thanks to Pine Team for adding Arrays to Pine!
In this script I tried to make example for
1. Finding S/R lines using highest/lowest function
2. Using 1D array as 2D (we keep S/R levels and age)
3. "Age" usage for S/R levels, getting older on each candle and changing colors by their age (maximum age is 127 then it disappears)
You can use "Close"/Open " or " High/Low " as source.
There is an option for the background color, by default it's Black, do not forget to set it accordingly :)
Enjoy!

Reversal closing priceThe reversal closing price (RCP) is a candlestick pattern which follows two simples rules:
the low price of current candle needs to be lower than the low price of the last 2 candles
the closing price of current candle needes to be higher than the closing price of the last candle
This generates a signal for a long position. For a short position, the conditions are inverted:
the high price of current candle needs to be higher than the high price of the last 2 candles
the closing price of current candle needes to be lower than the closing price of the last candle
Since RCP is a trend follower indicator, the strategy is programmed in such a way that long positions are only placed if the short period EMA is above the long period EMA, and short positions are only placed if the short EMA is bellow the long EMA. Both periods are configurable, and should be ajusted for each asset.
This strategy uses a fixed stop loss and take profit, and the it's ratio is configurable. The stop price is one tick lower than the lowest price of X candles prior to the order execution for long positions, while in short positions it's one tick higher than the higher price. The amount of candles to lookback (X) is configurable. Both stop and take profit prices are displayed, the first as a red line, and the second as a green line.
This is the setting that I've found to work best with TVC:SPX , but you may find a better setting. While the RCP is universal, it's placement depends on the trend and it's strenght, something that is very heterogeneous among assets.
I really wish that I was able to place images, but I don't have PRO, so text will have to do.
This strategy was designed by Alexandre Wolwacz, a.k.a. Stormer.
Support Resistance - Dynamic v2Hello Traders!
After the addition of "Arrays" to the Pine, I developed new and improved version of Support Resistance - Dynamic script as version 2. In this script Arrays were used. This can be used as Support Resistance tool, also it will be an example for the people who want to learn Array usage in Pine. Many thanks to Pine Team for adding Arrays!
The script finds the Pivot Points and check them in channels if there can be S/R or not, and draws mid line of the channel as S/R line. you can set number of PPs and channel width in the options. Each channel width is optimized dynamically according to Pivot Points. Also you can choose " High/Low " or " Close/Open " as source for Pivot Points.
There is an option for maximum number of S/R levels. S/R levels are found and sorted dynamically and number of S/R lines with enough strength changes dynamically.
Some other options for coloring and line width. (Solid, Dashed or Dotted)
S/R levels are shown in the Labels and Label colors are changed automatically, if S/R line is below the closing price then it's color is Green (as Support), otherwise its color is Red (as Resistance).
Examples:
Enjoy!
Smoothed CandlesHello Traders,
This is " Smoothed Candles " script to get rid of noises and to get a smoothed chart to figure out breakouts and price movements easily.
There are three scaling methods: User Defined, Dynamic (ATR) and Percentage
Optionally you can add 2 Simple Moving Averages and 2 Exponential Moving Averages
Optionally you can hide the Wicks, example:
You can add moving averages:

Higher Timeframe Trend Indicator V3.0What is it?
An indicator that depicts the trend of up to 5 higher timeframes on the same chart without needing to context-switch between charts.
Features
- Supports up to 5 timeframes
- Trends indicated by 5 colored buttons: one for each timeframe
- Varying shades of green: uptrend
- Varying shades of red: downtrend
- White/silver: sideways/neutral
- Configurable length (time period) for each timeframe
- Increase length to capture long term trends; decrease it to capture only short term ones
- Configurable sensitivity for each timeframe
- Sensitivity determines what angle is considered trending and what is not
- Increase sensitivity to capture weak trends
- Decrease sensitivity to filter out weak trends and capture only strong/steep ones
- Sensitivity ranges from 1 (least sensitive) to 3 (most sensitive)
- Move the labels around vertically for better visibility by changing the "Location" and "Offset" parameters
How should one use it?
Use it to quickly browse through charts to understand the context across timeframes, and zero in on only those that have trends aligning on the higher and lower timeframes as per your strategy. For e.g., a chart that is trending up strongly on the 15min and 60min (indicated by dark green colored buttons), and trending down on the 1 and/or 5 min (indicated by red-colored buttons), can be shortlisted for a potential pullback trade. Use your favorite pullback strategy (Supply/Demand, Support/Resistance, Moving Averages, etc.) to hop in on the trend.
How are trends determined?
The indicator uses normalized %change in price of the linear regression line segment of the chosen price sources (close, high, low, MA, etc.) over a specified length to determine trend direction and intensity
Known Issues
Will indicate the trend correctly only for timeframes *higher* than the current (visible) resolution/timeframe of the chart. Might not indicate it correctly for lower timeframes ( i.e., lower than the current (visible) resolution/timeframe of the chart). For this reason, all timeframes lower than the current resolution will be hidden in the present release.
Future releases
- I am still experimenting with various sensitivity levels and the corresponding trend shades to make the tool as accurate and intuitive as possible. These modifications might come in
- Sensitivity levels might be increased.
- Bug fixes, if any
Trend Following with Moving AveragesHello Traders,
With the info "Trend is Your Friend ", you should not take position against the trend. This script checks multipte moving averages if they are above/below the closing price and try to find trend. The moving averages with the length 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377 used. these are fibonacci numbers, but optionally you can change the lengths of each moving averages. while it's green you better take long positions, while it's red you better take short positions according to other indcators or tools.
Optionally you have "smoothing" option to get rid of whipsaws. it's enabled by default.
You have option to use following moving average types: EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA. by default it's EMA
Also the script has "Resolution" option. with this option you can get the trend for other time frames, in following example 1h was set as for higher time frame on 15m chart:
This should not be used as buy/sell signal indicators as it's tries to find trend but not entry points, you should use other indicators (such RSI, Momentum) or other tools to find buy/sell signals.
Enjoy!
