Cyatophilum Bands Definitive Edition█ OVERVIEW
A Swing Trade indicator providing backtest and alerts which can be used as a long, short or reversal strategy.
Its main goal is to catch breakouts and huge moves, and to try and beat the Buy & Hold Return.
█ CONCEPTS
The strategy consists of a unique custom indicator that works like this:
A Smoothed Donchian Channel combined with a consolidation check will trigger an entry.
The entry is then guided by a faster channel used as a trailing stop.
█ HOW TO USE
The most effective way to use this indicator is on high timeframes, from 2H to 1D.
The recommended pairs are trending pairs with consolidation areas. Yes, I'm especially looking at crypto.
The first appproach would be to catch long and short breakouts, and ride the trend using the trailing stop.
Adjust the Bands wisely to trigger entries at the right time.
The second approach is to go longs only, and try to beat the Buy & Hold return.
For this, click "Go long" and use an order size of 100% equity. Then adjust the Bands, trailing stop and chart timeframe.
The Buy & Hold comparator will come handy when backtesting.
█ INDICATOR SETTINGS
Strategy Direction
Choose wether to go long only, short only or both directions.
Bands Configuration
The bands lookback, smoothing and consolidation % are used to change the behavior of the bands. More info in the settings tooltips.
Trailing Stop
The "speed" of the trailing stop can be configured, allowing more or less room for the price to move before exiting.
Volume Condition
In addition to the consolidation condition, you can add a volume check to your entry. Is the volume rising or not? Useful in most scenarios.
Exit Alert Type
If you want to receive alerts during bars or prefer to ignore wicks.
Backtest Settings
This is where you choose the backtest period which is also used to calculate the B&H return.
Graphics
The configuration panel with all the indicator settings backtest info.
The buy & Hold Comparator is an additional panel that turns green when the strategy's return is greater than the Buy & Hold return.
Note: The Strategy Return is the strategy netprofit + the strategy openprofit.
█ ALERTS
Configure your alert messages for all events in the indicator settings.
Then click "Add Alert". In the popup window, select the option "alert() function calls only", give the alert a name and you are good to go!
█ BACKTEST RESULTS
The backtest settings used in this snapshot are the following:
Initial Capital: 10 000$
Order size: 100% equity (It indeed compounds and this is intended since the main goal of the strategy is to compare to Buy & Hold return)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage : 10 ticks
The Indicator settings used for this are shown in the main chart above.

donchain support&resistance levels [LM]Hello Traders,
I would like to introduce you donchain support&resistance levels. The idea is to look for important levels that are identified by donchain line, where donchain usualy spents a lot of time without any move usualy turns out to be good level for bounces.
Also note that when there is a big spread between first line and second line it usually leads to some pullback.
Here you have an example of big spread:
You are also able to show donchain lines and not only horizontals this you can find in settings:
Enjoy!
Fixed price Stop Loss [Takazudo]This strategy is a demo for fixed price stop loss.
This strategy enables you to specify fixed price stop loss. Let's say your deposit is USD. When you trade EURCAD, you need to specify the quantity for trade. Here comes three chances for trade.
A: SL pips: 500
B: SL pips: 200
C: SL pips: 100
In these trade, the risk is different for each. ABC risk ratio is 5:2:1. And, you cannot know how much to lose if the price hits the stop loss. This is a huge problem.
With this strategy, You can specify the fixed risk price for each trade. If you specify 100 USD for the risk, this strategy calculates how much quantity to buy or sell for each entry. In the case above, this strategy guides you how much quantity to buy or sell like below.
A: 2,000 qty (SL: 500pips)
B: 5,000 qty (SL: 200pips)
C: 10,000 qty (SL: 100pips)
If you make entries with those quantity and the price hits the stop loss, You will lose the money like below.
A: 100 USD
B: 100 USD
C: 100 USD
This is what this script does. Fixed price SL.
I tested this caliculation for OANDA's main 28 currency pairs forex listed below.
AUDUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, USDJPY, AUDCAD, AUDCHF, AUDJPY, AUDNZD, CADCHF, CADJPY, CHFJPY, EURAUD, EURCAD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, EURNZD, GBPAUD, GBPCAD, GBPCHF, GBPJPY, GBPNZD, NZDCAD, NZDCHF, NZDJPY
I may add more pairs later.
Note: The entry strategy in this script is not intented to win. Check the result. Be careful.
Custom FIBOThis script shows 3 Donchian Channel 78.6% and 21.4% intermediary level lines to perform trade analysis. Besides those 6 lines it also optionally shows Fibonacci's retracements with 100%, 127%, 162%, 200% and 262% for one of the Donchian channels.
The 3 Donchian Channels used have default lengths 72, 305 and 1292, calculated after the first length default value of 72. For each of the 3 Donchian Channels only an upper line, set by default at 78.6%, is plotted in green and its complement, set to 21.4%, is plotted in red. When the closing price is above 3 green lines, we say it is Forbidden to Sell ( PV ), and when the closing price is below 3 red lines, we say it is Forbidden to Buy ( PC ). Those conditions are flagged on the chart. These PV-PC conditions were, up to my knowledge, first proposed by Bo Williams.
Fibonacci's retracements are show for the Donchian Channel with length 72 by default, but it can be changed to any length. They are colored as fuchsia (100%), blue (127%), orange (162%), yellow (200%) and navy (262%).

Donchian Channels Trending Breakout StrategyThis script looks for two entry signals. Long is when the previous breakout of the donchian channels was a low, price is above the input EMA, current price is equal or higher than the upper band and we're not in a position yet. Short is the other way around, so previous breakout of the donchian channels was a high, price is below the input EMA, current price is equal or lower than the lower band.
I haven't found a script that does take the previous highs and lows into consideration. Works for any markets in any conditions because the stop loss and profit targets are based on the upper and lower band of the donchian channels, which means the stop loss and profit targets move with the trend.
For more details see the script itself, I wrote a ton of comments.
HiLo Extension This Strategy is finding high and low breaks of the day and enter into the trader based on RSI value and time value
1) This strategy is created for Indian Index like Nifty, Bank Nifty and so...
2) Trades are initiate only after 10:15 AM and before 3:10PM
3) High and Low of the day break will be check during the above time frame
4) RSI value will be check (RSI 50)
5) and trade will be initiate
6) Stop loss set as vwma 20...
Note: This Script will work fine in Index future chart not index spot chart...
This is just my idea only... Please back test yourselve, before using it..

MACD Crossover trend strategy, Long and ShortHey everybody,
This is my first strategy and script I wrote mostly myself. There's tons of content out there to learn how to code in Pinescript and it's exactly what I wanted and needed in this time of my life.
In any case, I made a rather simple MACD crossover strategy that only takes trades in the direction of both EMA and SMA (there are inputs to change the length of the moving averages and lots of other stuff too).
If the MACD line crosses upwards on the signal line, while above the zero point of the histogram and the price is above EMA + SMA , it's a long signal.
If the MACD line cosses downards on the signal line, while below zero on the histogram and the price is below EMA + SMA , it's a short signal.
There are a lot of default variables that make no sense, for basically any symbol you're going to be looking at. You're going to have to adjust the EMA , SMA , backtest date, take profit, stop loss and all that good stuff yourself to find decently profitable parameters.
I made this myself because I couldn't really find a strategy out there that allowed for so much customizing and it's an easy way to get started in Pinescript.
If you have any suggestions, tips or you see a flatout mistake in my code, please let me know. I'm still learning, everyday and I'm enjoying every second of it.

strategy author: foresterufa
Pump and Dump detector (PDD)
This is a trend strategy, with a unique mechanism of multi-stage re-entry into a position (Take Profit-Entry) when a significant trend develops, based on our HiDeep indicator.
Positions are opened by the HiDeep indicator signal with trend direction filtering and volatility filtering. Positions are closed by a HiDeep indicator signal or a change in the trend direction.
The position can be accompanied by a unique Stoploss trailing MA.
The Turtle Trading ChannelTurtle Rules:
To trade exactly like the turtles did, you need to set up two indicators representing the main and the failsafe system.
Set up the main indicator with TradePeriod = 20 and StopPeriod = 10 (A.k.a S1)
Set up the failsafe indicator with TradePeriod = 55 and StopPeriod = 20 (A.k.a S2)
The entry strategy using S1 is as follows
Buy 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
Sell 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
If last signaled trade by S1 was a win, you shouldn't trade -Irregardless of the direction or if you traded last signal it or not-
The entry strategy using S2 is as follows:
Buy 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is rallying without you
Sell 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is pluging without you
The turtles had a progressive position sizing approach that boosted their winnings. Once a trading decision has been made you should...
Enter the market with 2% risk. Place stop-loss 2ATR from the opening price.
If the position moves in your favor 1/2ATR, enter the market again with 2% risk and trail all stop-losses 2ATR from current price.
If the position moves in your favor 1/2ATR, enter the market again with 2% risk and trail all stop-losses 2ATR from current price.
If the position moves in your favor 1/2ATR, enter the market again with 2% risk and trail all stop-losses 2ATR from current price.
Stop adding to positions when 4 positions have been taken. (*** And see money management rule below)
The exit strategy is carried out using the line with the shortest period of the indicator:
Exit longs taken using S1 when price action closes below a 10-day low
Exit shorts taken using S1 when price action closes above a 10-day high
Exit longs taken using S2 when price action closes below a 20-day low
Exit shorts taken using S2 when price action closes avove a 20-day high
The turtles had very strict money management too. Initial position risk was 2%, but it decreased according to the current drawdown.
If the account had a 10% drawdown, the risk for each trade should decrease a 20%
If the account had a 20% drawdown, the risk for each trade should decrease a 40%.
If the account had a 30% drawdown, the risk for each trade should decrease a 60%.
So, if the account had a N% drawdown, the risk for each trade should decrease N*2%.
Spanish Traslation :
Reglas de las tortugas:
Para tradear exactamente como lo hacían las tortugas, debe configurar dos indicadores que representen el sistema principal y el de seguridad .
Configure el indicador principal con TradePeriod = 20 y StopPeriod = 10 (Aka S1 )
Configure el indicador de seguridad con TradePeriod = 55 y StopPeriod = 20 usando un color diferente. (También conocido como S2 )
La estrategia de entrada usando S1 es la siguiente
Compre rupturas de 20 días usando S1 solo si la última operación señalada fue una pérdida.
Venda rupturas de 20 días usando S1 solo si la última operación señalada fue una pérdida.
Si la última operación señalada por S1 fue una victoria, no debe operar, independientemente de la dirección o si la última operación la realizó o no.
La estrategia de entrada con S2 es la siguiente:
Compre rupturas de 55 días solo si ignoró la última señal S1 y el mercado se está recuperando sin usted
Venda rupturas de 55 días solo si ignoró la última señal S1 y el mercado se está disparando sin usted
Las tortugas tenían un enfoque de tamaño de posición progresivo que aumentó sus ganancias. Una vez que se haya tomado una decisión comercial, debe ...
Ingresar al mercado con un 2% de riesgo. Coloque el stop-loss 2ATR desde el precio de apertura.
Si la posición se mueve a su favor 1 / 2ATR, ingrese al mercado nuevamente con un 2% de riesgo y arrastre todos los stop-loss 2ATR del precio actual.
Si la posición se mueve a su favor 1 / 2ATR, ingrese al mercado nuevamente con un 2% de riesgo y arrastre todos los stop-loss 2ATR del precio actual.
Si la posición se mueve a su favor 1 / 2ATR, ingrese al mercado nuevamente con un 2% de riesgo y arrastre todos los stop-loss 2ATR del precio actual.
Deje de agregar posiciones cuando se hayan tomado 4 posiciones. (*** Y vea la regla de administración de dinero a continuación)
La estrategia de salida se realiza utilizando la línea de menor periodo del indicador:
Salga de largos tomados usando S1 cuando la acción del precio cierra por debajo de un mínimo de 10 días
Salga de los cortos tomados con S1 cuando la acción del precio cierre por encima de un máximo de 10 días
Salga de largos tomados usando S2 cuando la acción del precio cierra por debajo de un mínimo de 20 días
Salga de los cortos tomados con S2 cuando la acción del precio se cierre evite un máximo de 20 días
Las tortugas también tenían una administración de dinero muy estricta . El riesgo de la posición inicial fue del 2%, pero disminuyó de acuerdo con la reducción actual.
Si la cuenta tiene una reducción del 10%, el riesgo de cada operación debería disminuir un 20%.
Si la cuenta tiene una reducción del 20%, el riesgo de cada operación debería disminuir un 40%.
Si la cuenta tiene una reducción del 30%, el riesgo de cada operación debería disminuir un 60%.
Entonces, si la cuenta tiene una reducción del N%, el riesgo de cada operación debería disminuir N * 2%.
Donchian Channel - CustomThis is an extension to Donchian Channel - Pivot High Low indicator. Creating new version as the new type added isn't related to pivot high/low.
New type added is based on moving average. Instead of using highest and lowest of n bars, here, we are using lowest and highest of moving average of highs and lows for n bars.
Previous version of Donchian channel pivot points can be found here:
Donchian Zig-Zag [LuxAlgo]The following indicator returns a line bouncing of the extremities of a Donchian channel, with the aim of replicating a "zig-zag" indicator. The indicator can both be lagging or lagging depending on the settings user uses.
Various extended lines are displayed in order to see if the peaks and troughs made by the Donchian zig-zag can act as potential support/resistance lines.
User Settings
Length : Period of the Donchian channel indicator, higher values will return fewer changes of directions from the zig-zag line
Bounce Speed : Determine the speed of bounces made by the zig-zag line, with higher values making the zig-zag line converge faster toward the extremities of the Donchian channel.
Gradient : Determine whether to use a gradient to color the area between each Donchian channel extremities, "On" by default.
Transparency : Transparency of the area between each Donchian channel extremities.
Usage
It is clear that this is not a very common indicator to see, as such usages can be limited and very hypothetical. Nonetheless, when a bounce speed value of 1 is used, the zig-zag line will have the tendency to lag behind the price, and as such can provides crosses with the prices which can provide potential entries.
The advantage of this approach against most indicators relying on crosses with the price is that the linear nature of the indicator allows avoiding retracements, thus potentially holding a position for the entirety of the trend.
Altho this indicator would not necessarily be the most adapted to this kind of usage.
When using a bounce speed superior to 1, we can see the predictive aspects of the indicator:
We can link the peaks/troughs made by the zig-zag with the precedent ones made to get potential support and resistance lines, while such a method is not necessarily accurate it still allows for an additional to interpret the indicator.
Conclusions
We presented an indicator aiming to replicate the behaviour of a zig-zag indicator. While somehow experimental, it has the benefits of being innovative and might inspire users in one way or another.

AK collection area- Based on Coach AK formula of determining collection area of retracement stock.
- If price below collection area, collect in tranches.
Relative Channel BandwidthThis indicator uses different volatility channels - Bollinger Band, Donchian Channel and Keltner Channel width to measure volatility.
Indicator plots channel bandwidth percentage with respect to close price.
This is not same as Bollinger Percent B - which is measure of where price is with respect to band. Instead this indicator is similar to ATR Percent indicator published here:
Plotting is color coded to indicate volatility zone:
Red : Extreme volatility
Orange : High volatility
Lime : Low volatility
Green : Extreme low volatility
These levels are again derived by long period bollinger bands
Adoptive Supertrend - BandsAnother adoption of supertrend. This time based on different channels - Bollinger Band, Keltner Channel, Donchian Channel and Pivot point based Donchian channel.
When price hits top of bands, it is considered as start or continuation of uptrend. When price hits bottom of the band it is considered as start or continuation of downtrend. Hence, supertrend is drawn based on these calculations. Use ATR Periods and ATR Multiplier to create stops certain ATR away from band's top and bottom.
Other supertrend adoptions published are here:
Pivot point based donchian channel is published here:
Donchian Channel - Pivot High-LowCombining Pivot High Low and Donchian Channel - both of which are useful indicators for trend following.
Donchian Channel shows highest and lowest prices for X number of bars.
Pivot High-Low identifies when price made new Highs and Lows
Applying Donchian Channel on Pivot High-Low channel, we are plotting highest and lowest pivots formed in X bars.
In this indicator, we have 3 options for Channel Base :
Price : This is regular Donchian channel based on High-Low Price
Pivots : This is Donchian channel based on pivot points.
Combined : Combines both. Takes highest of Price and Pivots for plotting high, lowest of Price and Pivots for plotting low
Donchian DipThe Donchian Dip
This strategy is designed to look for good "Buy the Dip" entries on stocks that are clearly in a strong 1-year upward trend. If you do not know how to identify those stocks on your own please do not use this system or continue your education until you do. The Donchian Dip strategy was designed on the daily time frame but works amazingly well on both daily and weekly timeframes. It does still work on intraday charts also if the current trend on the daily chart is in a strong uptrend.
Chart Setup:
3-period Donchian Channel with a 1-period offset (hide basis)
Bollinger Bands with the default settings of 20/2 (display basis)
Entry Signals:
There are 3 different entry signals that will be printed on the chart that have similar underlying criteria but are ranked based on skill level just like ski slope skill levels! I recommend only taking green entries until you are familiar with the system and the stocks you are trading.
Green Easy Entry:
This is the safest buy the dip entry that is normally found at or near a large retracement bottom. You might get one or two bad entries but be persistent and eventually, a great entry will present itself!
These are the specifics for the conditions that trigger a Green entry if you want to know what they are:
1. The current bar is an up bar (green or white bar) and closed above the lower Donchian channel
2. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the lower Donchian channel
3. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the Bollinger Band Basis (20 SMA )
4. The low of the previous bar or 2 bars back was below the lower Bollinger Band
Blue Intermediate Entry:
This is a decent entry if you missed the green entry, want to add to an existing position, or are not sure it will pull back far enough to even give a green entry. I would suggest only trade these entries to add to an existing pyramid position or get back into a trade that you were recently stopped out of. However, on high-flying stocks like TSLA these signals and the Black Diamond entry signals might be the only ones you get for a long time. Also, on the weekly chart, Blue or Black entries are sometimes all you will get for a year or more.
These are the specifics for the conditions that trigger a Blue entry if you want to know what they are:
1. The current bar is an up bar (green or white bar) and closed above the lower Donchian channel
2. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the lower Donchian channel
3. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the Bollinger Band Basis (20 SMA )
Black Diamond Advanced Rule:
This is normally just a small pullback re-entry signal on a strong trending stock like TSLA ...trade with extreme caution!!! You have been warned but daredevils feel free to give it a shot. I sometimes do trade these entries if the market and sector of the stock I am trading are extremely bullish or if I am looking to add to a position but I use a conservative stop.
These are the specifics for the conditions that trigger a Black entry if you want to know what they are:
1. The current bar is an up bar (green or white bar) and closed above the lower Donchian channel
2. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed below the lower Donchian channel
3. Previous bar or 2 bars back closed above the Bollinger Band Basis (20 SMA )
Exit Criteria:
The goal of this strategy is to buy the dip and hold as long as possible...let's practice some Paytience and exercise those holding muscles! RLT!!!
So, we don't want to exit early but we also want to protect our profits somehow. We do this by using the built-in trailing stops that are defined by dots of three different shades of purple on the chart (feel free to change these in the settings). Simply move your trailing stop to the highest current dot price level. Do not move the trailing stop down ever even if a lower dot is printed later. These are simply the suggested trailing stops and definitely use your own judgment for exits but if you backtest this strategy enough you will most likely discover that in the long run, these trailing stops work really well.
I hope this strategy helps you to identify good "Buy the Dip" entries on stocks you love as well as trains you to hold your winners longer for bigger gains.

Adaptive Donchian LinesThe Adaptive Donchian plots a line based on the average of the lowest low and highest high. I call it 'ADL'.
Maximum/Minimum lookback period defines the range where the adaptive length can move.
When the asset velocity increases the indicator shortens its lookback period.
When the asset velocity decreases the indicator lengthens its lookback period.
The higher value 'Percent of change' is, the more adaptive it will be, hench, Adaptive Donchian sensitivity increases to velocity changes.
You can select from two different types of signals "Above or Below Middle Line" and "Touching Bands".
"Above or Below Middle Line" gives a Buy signal if LOW is crossing over the middle line and Sell signal if HIGH is crossing under the middle line.
"Touching Bands" gives Buy signal if HIGH touches the upper band and Sell signal if LOW touches the lower band.
== Color for "Touching Bands" ==
Green: Low is above center line - Up trending.
Lighter Green: Close is above center line but Low is still below H/L line - Weaker up trend.
Red: High is below center line - Down trending.
Lighter Red: Close is below the center line but High is still above H/L line - Weaker down trend.
== Color for "Above or Below Middle Line" ==
Green: Low is above center line - Up trending.
Red: High is below center line - Down trending.
== Notes ==
Bar coloring is disabled by default.
Middle line can also act as a stop loss.

TrendLine ChannelsAbstract
This script provides a set of Trendline Channels which can be tighter than Donchian Channels.
This script computes the most suitable active upper and lower trendlines and updates them as soon as possible.
We can use it for breakout signals earlier than Donchian Channels.
Introduction
Channels are tools which can mark area of values of ranging markets.
Once the price leaves the original region, range traders may start admitting they are wrong and trigger trend.
Donchian Channels (misheard as Dungeon Channels) use the highest and the lowest price to define area of values.
When the price breakouts, it just like it got released from a dungeon.
However, waiting for the price making even higher or lower may be too late and risk reward ratio may be lower.
Trendlines can make the channels tighter and we can find earlier breakout signals.
Computing Trendline Channels
(1) Find the most active trendlines
In this script, a valid trendline connects two high values or two low values.
A high value means the highest value in a trading day.
A low value means the lowest value in a trading day.
In this script, every trendline does not crossover any bar but can exactly touch them.
The most flat trendline is taken. (one for upper and one for lower)
(2) Continue to use or Change a trendline
If there is a tighter trendline available, this script changes to use it.
If the previous active trendline is broken, this script re-computes the trendline available.
When this case happens, this script display with an another color.
Otherwise, this script continues using the previous trendline.
(3) Middle line
The middle line indicates the middle value between the upper and the lower.
Parameters
Length : how many days are used for computation. The default value is 16 just because 16=4*4, using binary characteristic.
x_go_on : If the previous trendline is not breakout and there are no tighter trendlines available, we continue use it.
Color Options
(1) Upper trendline (no update or tighter)
(2) Upper trendline (changed due to breakout)
(3) Middle line
(4) Lower trendline (no update or tighter)
(5) Lower trendline (changed due to breakout)
Conclusion
Trendline Channels can be tighter than Donchian Channels and evaluate earlier breakout signals.
Comparing to known auto trendline scripts, Trendline Channels is continuous.
Once a trendline is broken, Trendline Channels can instantly point out the next available one.
If you think the price movement is boring or you cannot have good risk reward ratio, you can go to an another timeframe.
