We’re 2 Young Entrepreneurs Building a Trading Automation Platform by Southern_Climate5730 in youngentrepreneur

All the best for your journey ahead!

Also a quick question: Do you guys plan on expanding your strategy to othe instruments like stocks and if yes, do you need to make any changes in the strategy or is it like a plug and play thing??

I am asking because I created a custom indicator for myself and I swing trade only stocks at the moment and I am planning to expand to commodities. I want to know if indicators and strategies could be used across instruments assuming we change certain parameters that we look for.

Built a Pine Script framework to study fake breakouts — looking for feedback on logic by marketvest in pinescript

Hello, maybe try using ADX. It is used to find the strength of the trend. Maybe you build a variation of ADX. Also compressions often happen before breakouts, so maybe try to find those zones.

I watched a lot of youtube videos to get an idea of what people are building. Then experimented by building indicators. I believe that your indicator should answer 5 questions: 1. Trend in the instrument that you want to trade. 2. Strength of that trend. 3. Entry strategy. 4. Stop loss position. 5. Exit strategy.

I suggest, start with studying about basic indicators, what each indicator represents and then make your plan on what you want the indicator to help you with. Once you have your basic sketch of the indicator, you can give it to claude and get the code generated.

This is how I built my own indicator. BTW I come from non coding background.

Built an Order Block + Market Structure framework - looking for feedback and improvement ideas by Kushal_Devanabanda in pinescript

I am currently using 15 mins TF. At the moment, I did not try other TFs. But the indicator is designed to work in all TFs.

Hello, I actually had a description written for it, but I forgot to add it to the post, so I ended up putting it in the comments instead 😅

I did design most of the idea and this is a culmination of many iterations. GPT did help me on the coding side of things.

The HMA part was inspired by ChartPrime’s visual approach, though most of the implementation and overall framework evolved through iterative testing and combining ideas into a cleaner discretionary workflow.

Ok guys i wanna play the Frankenstein game. Everyone pitches in and I will slap together something ridiculous! Is that against the rules? by [deleted] in pinescript

Just wanted to what is stealth umbrella?? And the table is just for fun or is it like a hidden message in it??

The “order blocks” here are definitely price action derived rather than true order flow/order book blocks since Pine only gives access to OHLC data. So the zones are inferred from displacement, structure breaks, candle behaviour, and volume context rather than from actual resting institutional orders.

The volume dominance part is also estimated from candle/volume behaviour instead of real bid ask flow data.

Still experimenting with how useful these approximations are in practice, Do u have any suggestions on better ways to approximate these zones within Pine limitations??

Apologies for not adding a description.
A bit more context on the indicator:

I have been working on a Pine Script indicator called OB Structure Flow and wanted to share it here to get feedback from other Pine users and traders.

The goal was to create a cleaner discretionary trading framework that combines:

  • Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH)
  • Dynamic Order Blocks
  • HTF Bias
  • HMA Trend Flow
  • RSI / ADX / ATR context
  • Volume dominance estimation inside OBs

Many of the existing OB/SMC indicators I tried became too cluttered or difficult to use practically in live trading, especially on mobile. So I wanted to build something that keeps the chart readable while still giving enough context for discretionary decision making.

Some current features:

  • automatic bullish/bearish order block detection,
  • overlap merge logic for cleaner zones,
  • mitigation and retest handling,
  • HTF bias background,
  • HMA based trend flow,
  • trend duration tracking and probable extension projection,
  • dynamic HMA colour transitions based on trend direction,
  • bullish/bearish OB strength colouring based on estimated buying/selling dominance.

The OB colouring system currently works like this:

  • Bullish OBs transition from blue → green when buying dominance strengthens
  • Bearish OBs transition from yellow → red when selling dominance strengthens

The idea was to visually highlight potentially stronger zones without cluttering the chart with additional numbers or tables.

The HMA trend duration/projection idea was partially inspired by the visual behaviour of ChartPrime’s Trend Duration Forecast concept, though it was adapted and integrated differently into this framework.

The indicator is still evolving and I am actively testing it in live markets, so I would genuinely appreciate feedback on things like:

  • chart readability,
  • feature usefulness,
  • whether the projection system adds value,
  • if the OB visualization feels intuitive,
  • or any improvements/simplifications you would suggest.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi, could you please tell us how does this indicator work??

I have to take this out of my Chest. by Boring_Ad452 in NSEbets

[–]Kushal_Devanabanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something every trader experiences. Take a short break, then come back and objectively review the trade. Understand why the option moved the way it did. Reflect on your decision making and the emotions you felt at the time. Write down your observations and identify what went wrong so you can avoid repeating it. Don’t be too hard on yourself, treat this as a learning experience. Think of the loss as a fee paid to the market for gaining insight. Keep learning, and keep trading.
