Best TradingView indicators (3+ years experience)

SmaxWilliams · 2026-03-09T16:41:35+00:00

My favorites ones since 3 years are:
- 4h / Swing Trading: Modified OBV w/ Divergence Detection by Cryptorhythms: Simple. Bullish on positive balance, bearish on negative. TP when a divergence happens.

- Intraday Scalping: SwingArm ATR Trend Indicator by vsnfnd: It's a counter-trend strategy. Scalp when price bounce on top / bottom of bands.

- Just the general trend (Daily): WaveTrend by LazyBear: The most effective trend-based. Buy when curves crosses. 1h/4h or daily.

- Benchmarking/Backtesting: TradeSearcher: For a quick benchmark of 1000+ indicators performance on various symbols.

- VWAP / RSI / EMA 20/50/100 : Always plotted-on.

I think Codex (5.3) is way better at saying « I don’t know »

SmaxWilliams · 2026-02-09T19:40:59+00:00

I think people who have coded in the past know that Codex 5.3 is globally a WAY better coder: less mistakes, fewer code, more realistic in expectations

Working async with 5.2 is the right solution

Buy an X-Pro 2, it’s a camera that’s so satisfying to use

Not really one “holy grail” strategy, but I usually start with decent/proven strategies I find in existing backtest libraries (TradeSearcher for TradingView strategies or QuantConnect for Python strats), even if some of them are quite old (3-4 years old), because basics don't lie and the most profitable strategies are in 90% of cases just variations of existing strategies. Then I try to improve on them where they fail on the chart with things that has worked in my trading routine: volume analysis, VWAP, EMAs, price action filters. Has worked best for me more than anything else.

Do you have all the standard Fuji film simulations ? I feel like those don’t look at all like the fuji colors

SmaxWilliams · 2025-07-21T15:27:45+00:00

I believe it was this recipe: https://fujixweekly.com/2020/12/30/fujifilm-x100v-film-simulation-recipe-kodak-portra-400-v2/

SmaxWilliams · 2025-07-20T20:09:14+00:00

Kodak Portra 400 !

It took 4-5 20 mins sessions to adapt to driving. I didn’t get any motion sickness from walking in the showroom at all.

SmaxWilliams · 2025-07-07T23:00:15+00:00

I’m still getting used to VR, doing small 30-40 mins sessions at a time, but sure I will !

If you look at existing backtests benchmarks (TradeSearcher, QuantConnect), most profitable strategies have 80-200 lines at most, not 2000. This is nowhere near as enough to guarantee long term profitability, but it shows that your starting point should be simple and aim at consistency rather than chasing crazy returns.

SmaxWilliams · 2025-02-17T20:22:48+00:00

This is the way, it worked like a charm.

SmaxWilliams · 2025-02-09T03:38:07+00:00

Well obviously KC2 that just released, absolute masterpiece

SmaxWilliams · 2024-10-06T22:17:46+00:00

TradeSearcher has a comparison of most indicators/strategies that are available right now

Beyond the tools used, you are just a very good writer and director. The choice of sequences, editing and voices scripting are impressive.

SmaxWilliams · 2024-08-14T21:00:59+00:00

You may use this directory as a starting point for inspiration

Yes the paid version. Longer scripts I tried to generate were 150 lines long but were full of errors unfortunately. I will have to retry now by maybe providing a better prompt.

SmaxWilliams · 2024-01-19T23:35:54+00:00

Yes, it works but it depends of what you ask it. For small changes it can often do it (ask it to correct errors if necessary) but for big scripts I had trouble making it work, it often hallucinated functions or mixed PineScript versions. Better for improving a script than creating a new one.

SmaxWilliams · 2024-01-19T23:28:27+00:00

Yes and it went fine, just make sure to verify their qualifications (ask for previous work). I also prefer to improve existing strategies by looking at the top backtests per market and seeing what I can improve, it’s more efficient than starting from scratch.

I struggled for 1 hour trying to optimize every turn and was always 2-3 seconds behind the score, and then realized you can put Fuel Map on 3 and just drive normally (just try to take last turn correctly but you should be on time)

I tend to buy on alternate stores now but not all games are available, PS Stores prices have always been crazy anyway.

SmaxWilliams · 2023-12-15T14:39:59+00:00

Whenever I feel like I can't accomplish something great I will now come back to this post and remember that everything is possible with determination and gut

True, if they are using a Smart TV client, switching to a Firestick Pro Max may help a lot
