Fibonacci-Only StrategyFibonacci-Only Strategy
This script is a custom trading strategy designed for traders who leverage Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential trade entries and exits. The strategy is versatile, allowing users to trade across multiple timeframes, with built-in options for dynamic stop loss, trailing stops, and take profit levels.
Key Features:
Custom Fibonacci Levels:
This strategy calculates three specific Fibonacci retracement levels: 19%, 82.56%, and the reverse 19% level. These levels are used to identify potential areas of support and resistance where price reversals or breaks might occur.
The Fibonacci levels are calculated based on the highest and lowest prices within a 100-bar period, making them dynamic and responsive to recent market conditions.
Dynamic Entry Conditions:
Touch Entry: The script enters long or short positions when the price touches specific Fibonacci levels and confirms the move with a bullish (for long) or bearish (for short) candle.
Break Entry (Optional): If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script can also enter positions when the price breaks through Fibonacci levels, providing more aggressive entry opportunities.
Stop Loss Management:
The script offers flexible stop loss settings. Users can choose between a fixed percentage stop loss or an ATR-based stop loss, which adjusts based on market volatility.
The ATR (Average True Range) stop loss is multiplied by a user-defined factor, allowing for tailored risk management based on market conditions.
Trailing Stop Mechanism:
The script includes an optional trailing stop feature, which adjusts the stop loss level as the market moves in favor of the trade. This helps lock in profits while allowing the trade to run if the trend continues.
The trailing stop is calculated as a percentage of the difference between the entry price and the current market price.
Multiple Take Profit Levels:
The strategy calculates seven take profit levels, each at incremental percentages above (for long trades) or below (for short trades) the entry price. This allows for gradual profit-taking as the market moves in the trade's favor.
Each take profit level can be customized in terms of the percentage of the position to be closed, providing precise control over exit strategies.
Strategy Backtesting and Results:
Realistic Backtesting:
The script has been backtested with realistic account sizes, commission rates, and slippage settings to ensure that the results are applicable to actual trading scenarios.
The backtesting covers various timeframes and markets to ensure the strategy's robustness across different trading environments.
Default Settings:
The script is published with default settings that have been optimized for general use. These settings include a 15-minute timeframe, a 1.0% stop loss, a 2.0 ATR multiplier for stop loss, and a 1.5% trailing stop.
Users can adjust these settings to better fit their specific trading style or the market they are trading.
How It Works:
Long Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a long position when the price touches the 19% Fibonacci level (from high to low) or the reverse 19% level (from low to high) and confirms the move with a bullish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a long position when the price breaks below the 19% Fibonacci level and then moves back up, confirming the break with a bullish candle.
Short Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a short position when the price touches the 82.56% Fibonacci level and confirms the move with a bearish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a short position when the price breaks above the 82.56% Fibonacci level and then moves back down, confirming the break with a bearish candle.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
The stop loss for each trade is calculated based on the selected method (fixed percentage or ATR-based). The strategy then manages the trade by either trailing the stop or taking profit at predefined levels.
The take profit levels are set at increments of 0.5% above or below the entry price, depending on whether the position is long or short. The script gradually exits the trade as these levels are hit, securing profits while minimizing risk.
Usage:
For Fibonacci Traders:
This script is ideal for traders who rely on Fibonacci retracement levels to find potential trade entries and exits. The script automates the process, allowing traders to focus on market analysis and decision-making.
For Trend and Swing Traders:
The strategy's flexibility in handling both touch and break entries makes it suitable for trend-following and swing trading strategies. The multiple take profit levels allow traders to capture profits in trending markets while managing risk.
Important Notes:
Originality: This script uniquely combines Fibonacci retracement levels with dynamic stop loss management and multiple take profit levels. It is not just a combination of existing indicators but a thoughtful integration designed to enhance trading performance.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk, and it is crucial to test this script in a demo account or through backtesting before applying it to live trading. Users should ensure that the settings align with their individual risk tolerance and trading strategy.
Breakout
Wunder False Breakout1. The basic concept for this strategy is to use false breakout logic based on price levels.
2. We will enter a trade when the price exhibits a false breakout, where it initially breaks a level but then reverses direction.
3. The main concept of this strategy is to capitalize on false breakouts of price levels. The strategy involves building levels based on the highs and lows over a certain period. When these price levels appear to break out but then reverse, we use these false breakouts as entry points. You can adjust the period to find setups that suit your trading pair and timeframe.
4. A function for calculating risk on the portfolio (your deposit) has been added to the Wunder False Breakout. When this option is enabled, you get a calculation of the entry amount in dollars relative to your Stop Loss. In the settings, you can select the risk percentage on your portfolio. The loss will be calculated from the amount that will be displayed on the chart.
5. For example, if your deposit is $1000 and you set the risk to 1%, with a Stop Loss of 5%, the entry volume will be $200. The loss at SL will be $10. 10$, which is your 1% risk or 1% of the deposit.
Important! The risk per trade must be less than the Stop Loss value. If the risk is greater than SL, then you should use leverage.
The amount of funds entering the trade is calculated in dollars. This option was created if you want to send the dollar amount from Tradingview to the exchange. However, putting your volume in dollars you get the incorrect net profit and drawdown indication in the backtest results, as TradingView calculates the backtest volume in contracts.
To display the correct net profit and drawdown values in Tradingview Backtest results, use the ”Volume in contract” option.
Price and Volume Breakout Buy Strategy [TradeDots]The "Price and Volume Breakout Buy Strategy" is a trading strategy designed to identify buying opportunities by detecting concurrent price and volume breakouts over a specified range of candlesticks.
This strategy is optimized for assets demonstrating high volatility and significant momentum spikes.
HOW IT WORKS
The strategy first takes the specific number of candlesticks as the examination window for both price and volume.
These values are used as benchmarks to identify breakout conditions.
A trade is initiated when both the closing price and the trading volume surpass the maximum values observed within the predetermined window.
Price must be above a designated moving average, serving as the trend indicator, ensuring that all trades align with the prevailing market trend.
APPLICATION
This strategy is particularly effective for highly volatile assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, capitalizing on the cues from sudden price and volume breakouts indicative of significant market movement, often driven by market smart money traders.
However, for broader markets like the S&P 500, this strategy may be less effective due to less pronounced volume and price shifts compared to the cryptocurrency markets.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 70%
Backtest result sometimes gives fewer than 100 trades under certain higher timeframes, as most trades tend to have a long holding period. Entry conditions are also more stringent, which, combined with the relatively brief history of cryptocurrencies, results in fewer trades on longer timeframes.
Users are advised to adjust and personalize this trading strategy to better match their individual trading preferences and style.

Trading entails substantial risk, and most day traders incur losses. All content, tools, scripts, articles, and education provided by TradeDots serve purely informational and educational purposes. Past performances are not definitive predictors of future results.
[Opening Range Breakout] S&R Strategy with Backtest (TSO) S&R Strategy with Backtest (TSO)
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
This indicator serves as a comprehensive full-cycle trading system, providing alerts at each stage of the trade, from opening to closure. The algorithm initiates by calculating the Opening/Pre-Market Price Range, waiting for a breakout to generate signals, and establishing TP (Take Profit and SL (Stop Loss) levels. The Opening/Pre-Market range, known for its robust support and resistance levels, is a key element. To filter out false breakouts and capture valid ones, the indicator incorporates a Smart Breakout feature, requiring confirmation through an initial breakout, a confirmation bounce, and a subsequent confirmation breakout. The indicator offers a variety of automated approaches for TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss) settings. These include leveraging opening range levels, both the most recent and historical S&R (Support and Resistance) levels, and an ATR (Average True Range) trailing stop-loss. This diverse set of tools ensure flexibility in tailoring TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss) parameters to different market conditions, contributing to a more adaptive and robust trading system. Additionally, a series of signal analysis tools, including candle bar analysis, divergence, and volume, enhance the precision of trading signals.
* Works with popular timeframes: 1M, 3M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 45M, 1H.
* Works best with Indices, Stocks, and Commodities, since there is pre-market price movement, which is used to obtain support and resistance price range.
* Every action of the trade is calculated on a confirmed closed candle bar state (barstate.isconfirmed), so the indicator will never repaint.

TAKE-PROFIT/STOP-LOSS CONFIGURATION ///////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): S&R Search - Left Bars: This setting is for calculating optimal S&R (Support and Resistance) levels (in combination with below - Right Bars) for S&R (Support and Resistance) TP (Take-Profit) levels calculations. NOTE: if at any point - there will be no available S&R (Support & Resistance) found for SL (Stop-Loss, 'S&R-Dynamic-SL' or 'S&R-Static-SL' setting, since both settings search for optimal SL (Stop-Loss) at trade open) or TP (Take-Profit, at any setting, since at trade open, an optimal TP (Take-Profit) level is searched) > SL (Stop-Loss) will automatically switch to trailing ATR-Trailing-SL and the trade will continue to run until it either hits ATR-Trailing-SL (Stop-Loss) or closes at EOD (End of Day).
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): S&R Search - Right Bars: This setting is for calculating optimal S&R (Support and Resistance) levels (in combination with above - Left Bars) for S&R (Support and Resistance) TP (Take-Profit) levels calculations. NOTE: if at any point - there will be no available S&R (Support & Resistance) found for SL (Stop-Loss, 'S&R-Dynamic-SL' or 'S&R-Static-SL' setting, since both settings search for optimal SL (Stop-Loss) at trade open) or TP (Take-Profit, at any setting, since at trade open, an optimal TP (Take-Profit) level is searched) > SL (Stop-Loss) will automatically switch to trailing ATR-Trailing-SL and the trade will continue to run until it either hits ATR-Trailing-SL (Stop-Loss) or closes at EOD (End of Day).
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): S&R Search - Custom Resolution: This is a custom timeframe setting specifically for S&R Search, it disregards current chart timeframe. This is great to use for scalping, for example: with main chart set to 1min and the custom timeframe set to 3min or 5min - there will be stronger support/resistance levels with more detailed price action.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): # of Bars (5000 max) to search back for optimal Support and Resistance levels: This is how many candles will be searched backwards for previous S&Rs (Support and Resistance) to find the optimal levels for TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss). NOTE: If SL (Stop-Loss) System is set to 'ATR-Trailing-SL' - this setting is only relevant for searching TP (Take-Profit) levels.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): At Trade Open - No S&R (Support and Resistance) found behavior: 'Skip Trade': If at trade open there are no S&R (Support and Resistance) levels for TP1 (Take-Profit 1) or SL (Stop-Loss) - trade is skipped. 'Open/ATR-Trailing-SL': If at trade open there are no S&R (Support and Resistance) levels for TP1 (Take-Profit 1) or SL (Stop-Loss), the trade will still be open with SL (Stop-Loss) set to 'ATR-Trailing-SL'.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) System: Pre-Market-Range-TP: All TP (Take-Profit) targets are calculated at trade open using the distance between Support and Resistance per Opening Pre-market Range and then divided by TP (Take-Profit) Divider, which can be set below; S&R-Current-Optimal-TP1: TP1 (Take-Profit) level is set per currently available S&R (Support & Resistance), if none available - historical S&R (Support & Resistance) levels will be searched, remaining TP (Take-Profit) targets (if selected, up to 5 # of TPs) are searched through most recent closest historical S&R (Support & Resistance) levels; S&R-Historic-Optimal-TP1: TP1 (Take-Profit) level is set per historically most recent closest available S&R (Support & Resistance) to the Entry price, remaining TP (Take-Profit) targets (if selected, up to 5 # of TPs) are searched through historical S&R (Support & Resistance) levels as well.
>>> TP (Take-Profit, Pre-Market-Range-TP) Divider #: This is for 'Pre-Market-Range-TP' setting only, where TP (Take-Profit) level is the distance between top/bottom levels of the opening range. It can be reduced by the divider #. (1 - full distance; 2 - 1/2 distance; 3 - 1/3 distance; etc.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) # of targets: It is wise to divide the trade into several profit targets. With this setting - up to 5 TP (Take-Profit) targets can be approached. The trade will be equally divided up by the selected # of TP (Take-Profit) targets.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) target(s) Consumed: Signal Bar consuming Take-Profits - trade signal bar is big enough to 'consume'/close ahead of the first TP setting > the signal can either be skipped, or all Take-Profit targets pushed ahead by average bar size).
>>> TP (Take-Profit) Offset - On/Off: This is a feature where TP (Take-Profit) target will be considered taken even if the price never crosses the target(s), but comes close enough (based on the offset amount). Set the offset amount below.
>>>>> TP (Take-Profit) Offset - Amount: Some Examples: (for SPY 0.1 would be $0.10 offset - if TP1 is $400 and price hits $399.90 > TP1 considered taken/signal shown/alert) | NOTE: For EURUSD, it is very different and if wrong will show TP1 immediately at trade open, typical good offset for EURUSD is: 0.0005 | Similar for BTCUSD, for example: 10 - $10 offset, if TP is $15,000 > $14,990.
>>> SL (Stop-Loss) System: 'Pre-Market-Range-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set to the opposite market range level from trade direction; 'S&R-Static-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set at trade open per optimal most recent S&R level and remains there until trade closes; 'S&R-Dynamic-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set at a trade open per optimal S&R (Support and Resistance) level from the most recent AND historical S&Rs (Support and Resistance), with every bar closed it will check if there are new S&Rs (Support and Resistance) levels, if these levels appear closer to the current price then current level - it will move SL (Stop-Loss) to that level, therefore reducing the risk; 'ATR-Trailing-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is trail-following the ATR (Average True Range) line, NOTE: If at signal trigger, ATR will be against the trade direction - trade open signal will be skipped; 'S&R-TP-Entry-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) initially is set per S&R, then moves to Entry price at the very first TP (Take-Profit) hit and remains there until trade closes; 'S&R-TP-Trail-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) initially is set per S&R, then moves to Entry at TP1 (Take-Profit 1) hit, then keeps trailing per previously taken profit targets (TP2 taken, SL moves to TP1 | TP3 taken, SL moves to TP2 | TP4 taken, SL moves to TP3). NOTE: 'ATR-Trailing-SL' will not switch automatically if 'S&R-Dynamic-SL', S&R-TP-Entry-SL', 'S&R-TP-Trail-SL' system is selected, as already the most optimal SL (Stop-Loss) level is calculated - it will switch automatically only with 'S&R-Static-SL' system.
>>> SL (Stop-Loss) - On/Off: Without SL (Stop-Loss), unless EOD (End of Day) Close is turned on - there will be no SL (Stop-Loss) at all!

TP System - VERY IMPORTANT INFO!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" - amount by which current trade/position needs to be reduced/partially closed/sold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Dynamic
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount (trade/position size divided by the # of take-profit(TP) targets) and percentage to be closed will always be of the ORIGINAL trade/position.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Static
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount IF take-profit(TP) targets are hit 1-by-1 (TP1 > TP2 > TP3 > TP4 > TP5), otherwise it will vary and unless it is a 1st take-profit(TP1), the REMAINING trade/position size will always be smaller than original and therefore the percentage to be closed will always be of the REMAINING trade/position and NOT the original one!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" CheatSheet (these are the only percentages you may see)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TP PERCENTAGE---Close/Sell Amount-------------Example (trade size: 50 stocks)
20%-------------trade size * 0.2--------------50 * 0.2 = 10 stocks
25%-------------trade size * 0.25-------------50 * 0.25 = 12.5(~13) stocks
34%-------------trade size * 0.34-------------50 * 0.34 = 17 stocks
40%-------------trade size * 0.4--------------50 * 0.4 = 20 stocks
50%-------------trade size * 0.5--------------50 * 0.5 = 25 stocks
60%-------------trade size * 0.6--------------50 * 0.6 = 30 stocks
66%-------------trade size * 0.66-------------50 * 0.66 = 33 stocks
75%-------------trade size * 0.75-------------50 * 0.75 = 37.5(~38) stocks
80%-------------trade size * 0.8--------------50 * 0.8 = 40 stocks
100%------------trade size--------------------50 = 50 stocks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If for any reason a portion of the current/remaining trade closed at such occurrence was slightly wrong, it is not an issue. Such occurrences are rare and with slight difference in partial TP closed is not significant to overall performance of our algorithms.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: There seems to be a strange glitch when strategy is running live, it will show "double-take" take-profits labels on the chart. This is not affecting the script logic and backtesting results, if you simply change the timeframe real quick to something else then back - it will no longer show the duplicate orders... this must be some sort of a glitch as every alert was thoroughly tested to make sure everything is working!
Donchian Quest Research// =================================
Trend following strategy.
// =================================
Strategy uses two channels. One channel - for opening trades. Second channel - for closing.
Channel is similar to Donchian channel, but uses Close prices (not High/Low). That helps don't react to wicks of volatile candles (“stop hunting”). In most cases openings occur earlier than in Donchian channel. Closings occur only for real breakout.
// =================================
Strategy waits for beginning of trend - when price breakout of channel. Default length of both channels = 50 candles.
Conditions of trading:
- Open Long: If last Close = max Close for 50 closes.
- Close Long: If last Close = min Close for 50 closes.
- Open Short: If last Close = min Close for 50 closes.
- Close Short: If last Close = max Close for 50 closes.
// =================================
Color of lines:
- black - channel for opening trade.
- red - channel for closing trade.
- yellow - entry price.
- fuchsia - stoploss and breakeven.
- vertical green - go Long.
- vertical red - go Short.
- vertical gray - close in end, don't trade anymore.
// =================================
Order size calculated with ATR and volatility.
You can't trade 1 contract in BTC and 1 contract in XRP - for example. They have different price and volatility, so 1 contract BTC not equal 1 contract XRP.
Script uses universal calculation for every market. It is based on:
- Risk - USD sum you ready to loss in one trade. It calculated as percent of Equity.
- ATR indicator - measurement of volatility.
With default setting your stoploss = 0.5 percent of equity:
- If initial capital is 1000 USD and used parameter "Permit stop" - loss will be 5 USD (0.5 % of equity).
- If your Equity rises to 2000 USD and used parameter "Permit stop"- loss will be 10 USD (0.5 % of Equity).
// =================================
This Risk works only if you enable “Permit stop” parameter in Settings.
If this parameter disabled - strategy works as reversal strategy:
⁃ If close Long - channel border works as stoploss and momentarily go Short.
⁃ If close Short - channel border works as stoploss and momentarily go Long.
Channel borders changed dynamically. So sometime your loss will be greater than ‘Risk %’. Sometime - less than ‘Risk %’.
If this parameter enabled - maximum loss always equal to 'Risk %'. This parameter also include breakeven: if profit % = Risk %, then move stoploss to entry price.
// =================================
Like all trend following strategies - it works only in trend conditions. If no trend - slowly bleeding. There is no special additional indicator to filter trend/notrend. You need to trade every signal of strategy.
Strategy gives many losses:
⁃ 30 % of trades will close with profit.
⁃ 70 % of trades will close with loss.
⁃ But profit from 30% will be much greater than loss from 70 %.
Your task - patiently wait for it and don't use risky setting for position sizing.
// =================================
Recommended timeframe - Daily.
// =================================
Trend can vary in lengths. Selecting length of channels determine which trend you will be hunting:
⁃ 20/10 - from several days to several weeks.
⁃ 20/20 or 50/20 - from several weeks to several months.
⁃ 50/50 or 100/50 or 100/100 - from several months to several years.
// =================================
Inputs (Settings):
- Length: length of channel for trade opening/closing. You can choose 20/10, 20/20, 50/20, 50/50, 100/50, 100/100. Default value: 50/50.
- Permit Long / Permit short: Longs are most profitable for this strategy. You can disable Shorts and enable Longs only. Default value: permit all directions.
- Risk % of Equity: for position sizing used Equity percent. Don't use values greater than 5 % - it's risky. Default value: 0.5%.
⁃ ATR multiplier: this multiplier moves stoploss up or down. Big multiplier = small size of order, small profit, stoploss far from entry, low chance of stoploss. Small multiplier = big size of order, big profit, stop near entry, high chance of stoploss. Default value: 2.
- ATR length: number of candles to calculate ATR indicator. It used for order size and stoploss. Default value: 20.
- Close in end - to close active trade in the end (and don't trade anymore) or leave it open. You can see difference in Strategy Tester. Default value: don’t close.
- Permit stop: use stop or go reversal. Default value: without stop, reversal strategy.
// =================================
Properties (Settings):
- Initial capital - 1000 USD.
- Script don't uses 'Order size' - you need to change 'Risk %' in Inputs instead.
- Script don't uses 'Pyramiding'.
- 'Commission' 0.055 % and 'Slippage' 0 - this parameters are for crypto exchanges with perpetual contracts (for example Bybit). If use on other markets - set it accordingly to your exchange parameters.
// =================================
Big dataset used for chart - 'BITCOIN ALL TIME HISTORY INDEX'. It gives enough trades to understand logic of script. It have several good trends.

London BreakOut ClassicHey there, this is my first time publishing a strategy. The strategy is based on the London Breakout Idea, an incredibly popular concept with abundant information available online.
Let me summarize the London Breakout Strategy in a nutshell: It involves identifying key price levels based on the Tokyo Session before the London Session starts. Typically, these key levels are the high and low of the previous Tokyo session. If a breakout occurs during the London session, you simply follow the trend.
The purpose of this code
After conducting my research, I came across numerous posts, videos, and articles discussing the London Breakout Strategy. I aimed to automatically test it myself to verify whether the claims made by these so-called trading gurus are accurate or not. Consequently, I wrote this script to gain an understanding of how this strategy would perform if I were to follow its basic settings blindly.
Explanation of drawings on the chart:
Red or Green Box: A box is drawn on our chart displaying the exact range of the Tokyo trading session. This box is colored red if the trend during the session was downward and green if it was upward. The box is always drawn between the high and the low between 0:00 AM and 7:00 AM UTC. You can change the settings via the Inputs "Session time Tokyo" & "Session time zone".
Green Background: The green background represents the London trading session. My code allows us to make entries only during this time. If we haven't entered a trade, any pending orders are canceled. I've also programmed a timeout at 11 pm to ensure every trade is closed before the new Tokyo session begins.
Red Line: The red line is automatically placed in the middle of our previous Tokyo range. This line acts as our stop loss. If we cross this line after entering a trade but before reaching our take profit, we'll be stopped out.
When do we enter a trade?
We wait for a candle body to close outside of the previous Tokyo range to enter a trade with the opening of the next candle. We only enter one trade per day.
Where do we put our Take Profit?
The code calculates the exact distance between our entry point and the stop loss. We are trading a risk-reward ratio of 1:1 by default, meaning our take profit is always the same number of pips away from our entry as the stop loss. The Stop Loss is always defined by the red line on the chart. You can change the risk-reward ratio via the inputs setting "CRV", to see how the result changes.
What is the purpose of this script?
I wanted to backtest the London breakout strategy to see how it actually works. Therefore, I wrote this code so that everybody can test it for themselves. You can change the settings and see how the result changes. Typically, you should test this strategy on forex markets and on either 1Min, 5 Min, or 15 Min timeframe.
What are the results?
Over the last 3-6 months (over 100 trades), trading the strategy with my default settings hasn't proven to be very successful. Consequently, I do not recommend trading this strategy blindly. The purpose of this code is to provide you with a foundation for the London Breakout Strategy, allowing you to modify and enhance it according to your preferences. If you're contemplating whether to give it a try, you can assess the results from the past months by using this code as a starting point.
RSI Box Strategy (pseudo- Grid Bot)This is a strategy intended primarily for algorithmic traders. It's a pseudo-grid bot that uses a dynamic, volume-weighted grid that only updates when the RSI meets certain conditions. It's also a breakout strategy, whereas normal grid bots are not (typical grid bots sell when a higher grid is reached, whereas this strategy sells when a lower grid is breached under specific conditions). This strategy also sells 100% of pyramiding orders on close.
In a nutshell, the strategy updates its grid to the volume-weighted highest/lowest values of your given source ("src" in the settings) each time that there is a RSI crossunder/crossover. From this range it produces an evenly-spaced grid of five lines, and uses the current source to determine which grid line is closest to the source. Then, if the source crosses over the line directly above the current line, it enters a buy order. If the source crosses under the line directly below the current line, it enters a sell order.
You can configure shorts, source, RSI length, and overbought/oversold levels in the settings.
For the strategy results below: fees are at 0.1% per trade, with order size 1% of equity and a max pyramiding value of 33. For a greater R/R profile, you can increase the order size, which will increase drawdown but potentially yield better results.
Previous Day High Low Strategy only for LongWelcome to the "Previous Day High Low Strategy only for Long"!.
This strategy aims to identify potential long trading opportunities based on the previous day's high and low prices, along with certain market strength conditions.
Key Features:
Entry Conditions: The strategy triggers a long position when the current day's closing price crosses above the previous day's high or low.
Market Strength Filter: The strategy incorporates a market strength filter using the Average Directional Index (ADX). It only takes long positions when the ADX value is above a specific threshold and when there is a predominance of upward movement.
Trade Timing: The strategy operates within a specified trade window, starting at 09:30 and ending at 15:10. Positions are closed at 15:15 if still active.
Risk Management: The strategy employs dynamic stop-loss and profit-taking levels based on a user-defined Max Profit value. It has three profit targets (T1, T2, T3) and a stop-loss level to manage risk effectively.
Rules:
Ensure that the strategy idea is clearly understandable. Provide an easy-to-read title and a thoughtful description explaining the reasoning behind the strategy.
All content should be ad-free. Avoid any form of promotion, advertising, or solicitation.
No fundraising requests or money solicitation is allowed on TradingView.

Do not attempt to manipulate the reputation system or engage in like-for-like schemes.
Explanation of how the strategy works
1. Previous Day's High and Low (HH, LL):
In this strategy, we start by obtaining the high and low prices of the previous day (not the current day) using the request.security function. This function allows us to access historical data for a specific time frame. The high and low prices are stored in the variables HH and LL, respectively.
2. Entry Conditions:
The strategy uses two conditions to trigger a long position:
Condition 1 (Long Condition 1): If the closing price of the current day crosses above the previous day's high (HH), it generates a long signal. This is achieved using the ta.crossover function, which detects when a crossover occurs.
Condition 2 (Long Condition 2): Similarly, if the closing price of the current day crosses above the previous day's low (LL), it also generates a long signal.
Combined Condition: To take long positions, the strategy combines both long conditions using the logical OR operator (or). This means that if either of the two conditions is met, a long position will be initiated.
3. Market Strength Filter:
The strategy also includes a filter based on the Average Directional Index (ADX) to gauge the market's strength before taking long positions. The ADX measures the strength of a trend in the market. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend.
Calculation of ADX: The ADX is calculated using the adx function, which takes two parameters: LWdilength (DMI Length) and LWadxlength (ADX period).
Strength Condition (strength_up): The strategy requires that the ADX value should be above a threshold (11 in this case) and that there is a predominance of upward movement (up > down) before initiating a long position. The LWADX value is multiplied by 2.5 and compared to the highest value of LWADX from the last 4 periods using ta.highest(LWADX , 4). If these conditions are met, the variable strength_up is set to true.
Combined Condition: The strength_up condition is then combined with the long conditions using the logical AND operator (and). This means that the strategy will only take a long position if both the long conditions and the market strength condition are met.
4. Trade Timing:
The strategy sets a specific trade window between 09:30 and 15:10. It will only execute trades within this time frame (TradeTime).
5. Risk Management:
The strategy implements dynamic stop-loss (SL) and profit-taking levels (T1, T2, T3) based on a user-defined Max Profit value. The stop-loss is set as a percentage of the Max Profit value. As the position moves in favor of the trader, the profit targets are adjusted accordingly.
6. Position Management:
The strategy uses the strategy.entry function to enter long positions based on the combined entry conditions. Once a position is open, the script uses strategy.exit to define the exit condition when either the profit target or stop-loss level is hit. The strategy.close function is used to close any open position at the end of the trade window (15:15).
7. Plotting:
The strategy uses the plot function to visualize the previous day's high and low prices, as well as the stop-loss (SL) and profit-taking (T1, T2, T3) levels on the chart.
Overall, the "Previous Day High Low Strategy only for Long" aims to identify potential long trading opportunities based on the previous day's price action and market strength conditions. However, as with any trading strategy, it's essential to thoroughly test it and consider risk management before applying it to real-world trading scenarios.

Swing Breaker Strategy [v0.1] - Support and resistance breakoutSwing Breaker Strategy - Support and Resistance Breakouts
This strategy has no repainting.
Default settings:
Swing Barsback: 10
Number of Swings: 3
Stoploss Candles Lookback: 5
Why these default settings?
This strategy has been backtested with over 100 trades, and on a larger scale of 1000 trades, it has reported a 1.33 profit factor with a maximum 5% cumulative drawdown, using no leverage. In this backtest, the settings (10,3,5) were used, becoming the default settings as they are more adaptable to different market conditions.
How does this strategy work?
Defining swing lows (support) and swing highs (resistance): We can locate these candles by looking at a symmetrical candle unit around them. For example, the default settings present a 10 swing bars back, which means there is no superior level within a 10-candle radius in the case of a swing high, and the opposite for a swing low. Swings are located a few candles after, just the number of swing bars back (width), because it is needed to ensure it is a swing.
Locating trends: We locate trends by looking at consecutive swings. For example, in the default settings, to determine a bullish trend, we need 3 consecutive ascending swing lows; for a bearish trend, 3 consecutive descending swing highs. You can find this parameter in settings as "Number of swings."
When a trend is formed, a stop entry is placed at the last swing until it is broken.
Just after the entry, the stop is placed at the lowest (in the case of a long) or the highest (in the case of a short) of the last candles. You can define that number in the settings as "Stoploss candles lookback," which default is 5. The take profit is placed at 2 times the stop value, resulting in a 2 risk-reward ratio.
Why is this strategy protected?
No other strategy combines the way of locating swings and turning it into a strategy, including customizable parameters such as stop loss, swing width and introducing the number of swings. That's why we decided to protect it.
Volatility Compression Breakout - LeafAlgo Pro StrategyThe Volatility Compression Breakout strategy is designed to identify periods of low volatility followed by potential breakout opportunities in the market. It aims to capture moments when the price consolidates within a narrow range, indicating a decrease in volatility, and anticipates a subsequent expansion in price movement. This strategy is based on our indicator of the same name (), but differs by offering many more options for the band/channel type and trend filters in addition to implementing the ability to use this strategy with algorithmic plug-ins (see details at the bottom).
This strategy features six types of bands/channels and five types of trend filters, for a total of 30 combinations. The six band/channel types are the Adaptive Gaussian MA channel (based on the Adaptive Gaussian MA that we previously published ()), standard Bollinger Bands, smoothed Bollinger Bands (basis is an EMA of the typical Bollinger Basis), Keltner Channels, a Quadratic Regression Channel (based on the channel that we previously published in the LeafAlgo Pro indicator ()), and Volatility-Based Mean Reversion Bands (). The five trend filters include an EMA, SMA, Weighted MA, McGinley Dynamic, and the Adaptive Gaussian MA itself.
Examples of the different band/channel types (all with EMA as the trend filter):
Adaptive Gaussian MA Channel:
Bollinger Bands:
Smoothed Bollinger Bands:
Keltner Channels:
Quadratic Regression Channel:
Volatility-Based Mean Reversion Bands:
Examples of the different trend filters (all with Keltner Channels):
EMA:
SMA:
WMA:
McGinley Dynamic:
Adaptive Gaussian MA:
How the Long/Short Entry Signals are Calculated:
A breakout signal upwards, accompanied by a long entry, is created when the high is greater than the secondary upper band (the upper band plus a standard deviation or with a multiplier, depending on which band/channel type is selected), the latest close is above the trend filter line, and the previous close was below the trend filter line. A break downwards, accompanied by a short entry, is created when the low is below the secondary lower band, the close is below the trend filter line, and the previous close was above the trend filter line. These conditions, along with a confirmed barstate, make up the strategy entry signals.
Coloration:
When the close price is above both the middle/basis and the trend filter, the bars are colored lime green, indicating a potential bullish market sentiment. When the close price is positioned above the basis but below the trend filter, or below the basis but above the trend filter, the bars are colored yellow, signifying a neutral or indecisive market condition. Conversely, when the close price falls below both the basis and the trend filter, the bars are colored fuchsia, suggesting a potential bearish market sentiment. Additionally, the coloration of the middle/basis line and the trend filter provides further visual cues for assessing the trend. When the close price is above the basis, the line is colored lime green, indicating a bullish trend. Conversely, when the close price is below the basis, the line is colored fuchsia, highlighting a bearish trend. Similarly, the trend line is colored lime green when the close price is above it, representing a bullish trend, and fuchsia when the close price is below it, indicating a bearish trend. The fill between the primary and secondary upper bands is colored lime and the fill between the primary and secondary lower bands is colored fuchsia. These colorations can be toggled on/off in the strategy settings menu.
How Changing Parameters Can Be Beneficial:
Modifying the parameters allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading styles. For example, with Keltner Channels, increasing the compression period can help identify broader volatility patterns and major market shifts. On the other hand, decreasing the compression period provides more precise and timely signals for short-term traders. Adjusting the compression multiplier affects the width of the Keltner Channels. Higher multipliers increase the breakout threshold, filtering out smaller price movements and providing more reliable signals during significant market shifts. Lower multipliers make the indicator more sensitive to smaller price ranges, generating more frequent but potentially less reliable signals.
Changing the type of trend filter can drastically change your results. Test out each trend filter type and determine which one will work best for your purposes. Further, the MA periods in the trend filter settings can help you align your trades with the prevailing market direction. Increasing the period smoothes out the trend, filtering out shorter-term fluctuations and focusing on more sustained moves. Decreasing the period allows for quicker responses to changes in trend, capturing shorter-term price swings.
By adjusting the parameters and incorporating additional analysis techniques, you can customize the strategy to suit your trading style and preferences. However, it is crucial to exercise caution, conduct thorough analysis, and practice proper risk management to increase the likelihood of successful trades. Remember that no strategy can guarantee profits, and continuous learning and adaptation are key to long-term trading success.
Take Profit/Stop Loss Settings:
Take profit, stop loss, and trailing percentages are also included, found at the bottom of the Input tab under “TT and TTP” as well as “Stop Loss”. The take profit and stop loss levels will be reflected as green and red lines respectively on the chart as they occur. Make sure to understand the TP/SL ratio that you desire before use, as the desired hit rate/profitability percentage will be affected accordingly. The option for adding in a trailing stop has also been included, with options to choose between an ATR-based trail or a percentage-based trail. This strategy does NOT guarantee future returns. Apply caution in trading regardless of discretionary or algorithmic. Understand the concepts of risk/reward and the intricacies of each strategy choice before utilizing them in your personal trading.
Profitview/Pineconnector Settings:
If you wish to utilize Profitview’s automation system, find the included “Profitview Settings” under the Input tab of the strategy settings menu. If not, skip this section entirely as it can be left blank. Options will be “OPEN LONG TITLE”, “OPEN SHORT TITLE”, “CLOSE LONG TITLE”, and “CLOSE SHORT TITLE”. If you wished to trade SOL, for example, you would put “SOL LONG”, “SOL SHORT”, “SOL CLOSE LONG”, and “SOL CLOSE SHORT” in these areas. Within your Profitview extension, ensure that your Alerts all match these titles. To set an alert for use with Profitview, go to the “Alerts” tab in TradingView, then create an alert. Make sure that your desired asset and timeframe are currently displayed on your screen when creating the alert. Under the “Condition” option of the alert, select the strategy, then select the expiration time. If using TradingView Premium, this can be open-ended. Otherwise, select your desired expiration time and date. This can be updated whenever desired to ensure the strategy does not expire. Under “Alert actions”, nothing necessarily needs to be selected unless so desired. Leave the “Alert name” option empty. For the “Message”, delete the generated message and replace it with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} and nothing else. If using Pineconnector, follow the same directions for setting up an alert, but use the ",buy,,risk=" syntax as noted in the tooltips.
Additional Sample Settings (for ETHUSDT-Binance 45M):
Band/Channel Type - Keltner Channels (Compression Period of 20, Multiplier of 1.8x)
Trend Filter - WMA (50 length, no offset, close as the source)
TP/SL - 3.0% TP / 2.0% SL, 0.005 trailed TP, no trailed SL
Premium Volatility Breakout Strategy [wbburgin]This the premium version of my Volatility Breakout strategy, which improves significantly on the original strategy (publicly available on my profile). Improvements are below. A note about any of my premium scripts: I will continue updating and improving the original (public) versions.
This strategy is not built for any specific asset or timeframe, and has been backtested on crypto, equities, and forex from 1min - 1day. However, I recommend using it on more volatile assets because it is a breakout strategy.
********** My Background
I am an investor, trader, and entrepreneur with 10 years of cryptocurrency and equity trading experience and founder of two fintech startups. I am a graduate of a prestigious university in the United States and carry broad and inclusive interests in mathematical finance, computer science, machine learning / artificial intelligence, as well as other fields.
**********
Improvements over the original Volatility Breakout strategy include:
Faster Trend Detection → The Premium Volatility Breakout strategy will catch trends faster by using adaptive volatility-weighted bands instead of standard-width volatility-weighted bands. This can improve win size and has performed well in my backtesting.
ADX Filter → False breakouts dampen the overall results of the original script, as well as the % profitable,so an ADX filter has been programmed into the script (toggle on/off in settings). This filter will only enter long and short trades when the ADX is above a certain threshold. This is by default toggled off because in most instances it will not be necessary, but in certain environments may be useful.
MA Configuration → Different types of moving averages and weights are now configurable in the settings. These can change the responsiveness of the strategy.
External Trend Filter → I use this strategy as a filter for some of my low-timeframe algorithms. I have added an external trend filter (a plot only displayed in the data window) that will return “1” when the trend is long and “-1” when the trend is short (displayed on-chart with red and green trend curves).
Customizable Alert Messages In-Strategy → In the settings, there will be text boxes where you can create your own alerts. All you will need to do is create an alert in the alert panel on TradingView and leave the message box blank - if you fill out the alert boxes in the settings, these will automatically populate into your alerts. There are in total four different customizable alerts messages: Entry and Exit alerts for both Long and Short sides. If you disable stop loss and/or take profit, these alerts will also be disabled. Similarly, if you disable shorts, all short alerts will be disabled.
About stop losses: This strategy does not come with a stop loss because the moving average acts as a stop loss / trade exit for both long and short entries.
**********
Display
You can turn off highlighting or barcolor in the settings. Additionally, future updates may include a color scheme for users using a light-themed window.
**********
Configuring Alerts
In TradingView desktop, go to the ‘Alerts’ tab on the right panel. Click the “+” button to create a new alert. Select this strategy for the condition and one of the two options that includes alert() function calls. Name the alert what you wish and clear the default message, because your text in the settings will replace this message.
Now that the alert is configured, you can go to the settings of the strategy and fill in your chosen text for the specific alert condition. You will need to check “Long and Short” in the “Trade Direction” setting in order for any Short Alerts to become active.

Volatility Range Breakout Strategy [wbburgin]The "Volatility Range Breakout Strategy" uses deviations of high-low volatility to determine bullish and bearish breakouts.
HOW IT WORKS
The volatility function uses the high-low range of a lookback period, divided by the average of that range, to determine the likelihood that price will break in a specific direction.
High and low ranges are determined by the relative volatility compared to the current closing price. The high range, for example, is the (volatility * close) added to the close, the low range is this value subtracted by the close.
A volatility-weighted moving average is taken of these high and low ranges to form high and low bands.
Finally, breakouts are identified once the price closes above or below these bands. An upwards breakout (bullish) occurs when the price breaks above the upper band, while a downwards breakout (bearish) occurs when the price breaks below the lower band. Positions can be closed either by when the price falls out of its current band ("Range Crossover" in settings under 'Exit Type') or when the price falls below or above the volatility MA (default because this allows us to catch trends for longer).
INPUTS/SETTINGS
The AVERAGE LENGTH is the period for the volatility MA and the weighted volatility bands.
The VOLATILITY LENGTH is how far the lookback should be for highs/lows for the volatility calculation.

Yesterday’s High Breakout - Trend Following StrategyYesterday’s High Breakout it is a trading system based on the analysis of yesterday's highs, it works in trend-following mode therefore it opens a long position at the breakout of yesterday's highs even if they occur several times in one day.
There are several methods for exiting a trade, each with its own unique strategy. The first method involves setting Take-Profit and Stop-Loss percentages, while the second utilizes a trailing-stop with a specified offset value. The third method calls for a conditional exit when the candle closes below a reference EMA.
Additionally, operational filters can be applied based on the volatility of the currency pair, such as calculating the percentage change from the opening or incorporating a gap to the previous day's high levels. These filters help to anticipate or delay entry into the market, mitigating the risk of false breakouts.
In the specific case of NULS, a 9% Take-Profit and a 3% Stop-Loss were set, with an activated trailing-stop percentage. To postpone entry and avoid false breakouts, a 1% gap was added to the price of yesterday's highs.

BBWAS StrategyA breakout in trading refers to a situation where the price of a security or asset moves beyond a defined level of support or resistance, which is typically indicated by technical analysis tools like Bollinger Bands . Bollinger Bands consist of three lines: the upper band, the lower band, and the middle band (or basis). The upper and lower bands are set at a specified number of standard deviations away from the middle band, and they help to define the range within which the price of an asset is expected to fluctuate.
When the price of the asset moves beyond the upper or lower band, it is said to have "broken out" of the range. If the price closes below the lower band, it is considered a bearish breakout, and if it closes above the upper band, it is considered a bullish breakout.
Once a breakout occurs, traders may look for a confirmation signal before entering a trade. In this case, crossing the middle line (or basis) after a breakout may signal a potential trend reversal and a good opportunity to enter a long or short trade, depending on the direction of the breakout.
Overall, this script provides a customizable and flexible system for traders to use Bollinger Bands to identify breakout trades, with additional features to incorporate volume and RSI divergence. The dynamic TPSL system also allows traders to manage their risk and reward by automatically setting take-profit and stop-loss levels based on the volatility of the market.
Dear traders, while we strive to provide you with the best trading tools and resources, we want to remind you to exercise caution and diligence in your investing decisions.
It is important to always do your own research and analysis before making any trades. Remember, the responsibility for your investments ultimately lies with you.
Happy trading!
Open DriveOpen Drive is a market profile concept introduced by Jim Dalton. It occurs when the price moves directionally and persistently for the first 30 minutes from the cash market open.
It is necessary to use 30-minute bars as there needs to be enough time to measure an extreme move of the cash open. This means there will be fewer trades than other strategies using faster time periodicities.
The script finds open drives from these time points 0700/ 0800 and 1300/1430.
The entry signal also has a breakout threshold using the 5-bar high and 5-bar low to only take trades moving away from the prior 5-bar range. This weeds out most mid-range trades and small range expansion bars.
If the price has had a strong move from the open and has broken either below the prior 5-bar low or above the prior 5-bar high by an amount equal to the prior 5-bar range a trade is entered in the direction of the move.
The Exit criteria; exit after 3 bars which is 90mins when using a 30min periodicity.
Note, this script is shared to show that momentum generated on or around the cash open tends to persist. The entry and exits of this strategy are quite naive but there are plenty of ways to take more aggressive entries on faster time frames when an open drive occurs. The times chosen for this strategy will suit stock index futures mainly. The user can experiment with other futures products and their corresponding pit/ cash open hours.
Google "open drive market profile" for more information on open drives and market profile concepts.
Happy trading!
[-_-] Level Breakout, Auto Backtesting StrategyDescription:
A Long only strategy based on breakout from a certain level formed by High price. It has auto-backtesting capabilities (you set ranges for the three main parameters: Lookback, TP and SL; the strategy then goes through different combinations of those parameters and displays a table with results that you can sort by Percentage of profitable trades AND/OR Net profit AND/OR Number of trades). So you can, for example, sort only by Net profit to find combination of parameters that gives highest net profit, or sort by Net profit and Percentage profitable to find a combination of parameters that gives the best balance between profitability and profit. The auto-backtesting also takes into account the commission which is set in % in the inputs (make sure to set the same value in properties of the strategy so that auto-backtesting and real backtesting results match).
NOTE: auto-backtesting only find the best combinations and displays them in a table, you will then need to manually set the Lookback, TP and SL inputs for real backtesting to match.
Parameters:
- Lookback -> # of bars for filtering signals; recommended range from 2 to 5
- TP (%) -> take profit; recommended range from 5 to 10
- SL (%) -> stop loss; recommended range from 1 to 5
- Commission (%) -> commission per trade
- Min/Max Lookback -> lookback range for auto-backtesting
- Min/Max TP -> take profit range for auto-backtesting
- Min/Max SL -> stop loss range for auto-backtesting
- Percentage profitable -> sort by percentage of profitable trades
- Net profit -> sort by net profit
- Number of trades -> sort by number of trades

Squeeze Momentum Strategy [LazyBear] Buy Sell TP SL Alerts-Modified version of Squeeze Momentum Indicator by @LazyBear.
-Converted to version 5,
-Taken inspiration from @KivancOzbilgic for its buy sell calculations,
-Used @Bunghole strategy template with Take Profit, Stop Loss and Enable/Disable Toggles
-Added Custom Date Backtesting Module
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All credit goes to above
Problem with original version:
The original Squeeze Momentum Strategy did not have buy sell signals and there was alot of confusion as to when to enter and exit.
There was no proper strategy that would allow backtesting on which further analysis could be carried out.
There are 3 aspects this strategy:
1 ) Strategy Logic (easily toggleable from the dropdown menu from strategy settings)
- LazyBear (I have made this simple by using Kivanc technique of Momentums Moving Average Crossover, BUY when MA cross above signal line, SELL when crossdown signal line)
- Zero Crossover Line (BUY signal when crossover zero line, and SELL crossdown zero line)
2) Long Short TP and SL
- In strategies there is usually only 1 SL and 1 TP, and it is assumed that if a 2% SL giving a good profit %, then it would be best for both long and short. However this is not the case for many. Many markets/pairs, go down with much more speed then they go up with. Hence once we have a profitable backtesting setting, then we should start optimizing Long and Short SL's seperately. Once that is done, we should start optimizing for Long and Short TP's separately, starting with Longs first in both cases.
3) Enable and Disable Toggles of Long and Short Trades
- Many markets dont allow short trades, or are not suitable for short trades. In this case it would be much more feasible to disable "Short" Trading and see results of Long Only as a built in graphic view of backtestor provides a more easy to understand data feed as compared to the performance summary in which you have to review long and short profitability separately.
4) Custom Data Backtesting
- One of most crucial aspects while optimizing for backtesting is to check a strategies performance on uptrends, downtrend and sideways markets seperately as to understand the weak points of strategy.
- Once you enable custom date backtesting, you will see lines on the chart which can be dragged left right based on where you want to start and end the backtesting from and to.
Note:
- Not a financial advise
- Open to feedback, questions, improvements, errors etc.

[Pt] Premarket Breakout StrategyThis is a 1 trade per day strategy for trading SPY or QQQ index. By default, this is designed for 1 min time frame. This was an experimental script that seems to be profitable at the time of publication.
How it works:
Pre-market high and low is defined per trading day between 9:00 to 9:30 EST.
Then we looking for the first breakout on either PM high or PM low.
- Breakout high = long trade
- Breakout low = short trade
If long trade, we wait until Stochastic RSI D signal line to hit a lower threshold (18 by default). Then we enter long when K crosses above D line.
If short trade, we wait until Stochastic RSI D signal line to hit an upper threshold (82 by default). Then we enter short when K crosses below D line.
Stop loss for long
- set to PM low if entry is above PM high + %ATR buffer
- or set to PM range + %ATR buffer
Stop loss for short
- set to PM high if entry is below PM low + %ATR buffer
- or set to PM range + %ATR buffer
Profit target is set to 2x the risk by default.
*Note: Different Stochastic RSI lengths should be used if trading 5 min time frame. See tooltip.
Happy trading~~!
