Overview
HG Strat identifies strong market momentum when the Average Directional Index exceeds a chosen threshold, then monitors price retests of an exponential or simple moving average. Long entries trigger when price touches the average from above and subsequently breaks above the pullback candle high while below recent pivot highs. Short entries mirror this behavior below the average. Users can configure the moving average type, period, ADX threshold, and pivot swing lengths. The strategy plots trade signals directly on the price chart.
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.

2 EMA/SMA + RSI Strategy [Alorse] combines three configurable moving averages with a short-period Relative Strength Index filter. It plots fast, slow, and trend moving averages on the price chart. Long entries trigger when the fast moving average is above the
This strategy plots on the price chart and opens long or short positions when a weighted score from MACD, Stochastic RSI, RSI, Supertrend and a moving-average crossover exceeds a user-set trigger. Each component has its own weight and candle delay. Entries can
This strategy combines Arnaud Legoux Moving Average percentage price change calculations with an adaptive Gaussian Moving Average to generate trend-following signals. Long and short entries are triggered when the ALMA change calculation crosses above or below
This strategy generates trading signals based on a selectable momentum engine, supporting MACD, RSI, Stochastic, or Rate of Change. Entries trigger on signal crosses, zero-line crosses, or threshold crosses, with an optional moving average trend filter. Risk m
255 EMA Strategy combines an exponential moving average with Average True Range bands and standard MACD crossovers to generate entry signals. Drawn directly on the price chart, it plots the central 255 EMA along with upper and lower volatility envelopes. Trade
This strategy evaluates simple moving averages and the Relative Strength Index to generate trading signals. It calculates a 10-period SMA, a 30-period SMA, and a 14-period RSI. Long positions are entered when the fast SMA crosses above the slow SMA while RSI i
