Built-in scripts
ICT Smart Money
ICT strategy: trend filter, Order Block and FVG entries with confirmation; profit-taking at Fib levels or higher FVG.
Volatility Compression Breakout
Trades volatility expansion after compression with volume confirmation. Works well on crypto, equities, indices, and FX.
Volatility Expansion Breakout
Trades volatility expansion after prolonged compression with trend confirmation. Works well on crypto, equities, and forex.
ATR Squeeze + VWAP Bias
Advanced volatility expansion with VWAP directional bias. Uses ATR squeeze, BB width, and VWAP to avoid chop.
Regime Trend Momentum
Trades strong trends using ADX regime filtering, EMA trend bias, and MACD momentum confirmation.
Simple Momentum (1/3/6)
Long when 1-, 3-, and 6-period momentum are all positive; short when all negative. Configurable lookbacks (default 21, 63, 126 bars).
Time-Series Momentum (12-1)
Academic momentum strategy. Uses 12-month lookback excluding the most recent month (12-1 factor model).
IV Timing Mean Reversion
Mean reversion: enter on next bar open (no look-ahead). Long or short when RSI(2)<15 in uptrend after big drop; exit when RSI>50.
Pocket Pivot
Institutional buying days: up-day volume > all prior 10 down-day volumes, close in upper portion of range.
Ichimoku Cloud
Ichimoku trend (price vs cloud, TK cross) with RSI filter. Long above cloud + bullish TK + RSI<70; short below cloud + bearish TK + RSI>30.
Squeeze Momentum
BB inside Keltner = squeeze; enter long/short when momentum turns positive/negative. Stop at band midline; exit on momentum reversal.
Volume Profile Trading
Rolling volume profile (POC, 70% value area). Long when close crosses above VAL; short when close crosses below VAH.
Strategy playbooks
Educational frameworks you can practice with Auto Patterns, structure tools, trade plans, and optional BYOK AI — not separate paid scripts.
Opening Range Breakout
Trade breakouts from the first N minutes after the cash session open. Define the range, wait for a clean break with buffer, and manage risk with structure-based stops.
Supply & Demand Retest
Enter on retests of fresh supply or demand zones after an impulse move. Filter with HTF bias and minimum displacement before the zone forms.
ICT Killzones
Focus entries during London and New York liquidity windows. Align bias with session flow and avoid low-probability chop outside killzones.
London Open Breakout
Trade breakouts of the Asian session range at London open. Confirm with buffer and close beyond range; manage false breaks with confirmBars.
Asian Range Liquidity Sweep
Wait for a sweep beyond the Asian range high or low, then enter on reversal back inside the range. Targets opposing liquidity or session VWAP.
Break of Structure Entry
Enter in the direction of a confirmed BOS after a swing break. Use swingLookback for pivots and confirmClose to avoid wick-only breaks.
Fair Value Gap Entry
Enter on retracement into a fair value gap (imbalance) with trend filter. Size gaps with minGapPct and expire stale gaps with maxAgeBars.
Multi-Timeframe Bias
Use HTF trend bias (htf) and take entries on LTF (ltf) when biasEma and entryConfirm align. Reduces counter-trend noise.
EMA Pullback Trend
Buy pullbacks to emaFast in uptrends (emaSlow filter) when pullback depth stays within pullbackAtr. Optional rsiFilter avoids exhausted entries.
Session VWAP Reclaim
After a fakeout below (or above) session VWAP, enter when price reclaims VWAP within reclaimBars with volumeConfirm.
Support / Resistance Flip
Trade retests of broken support (now resistance) or broken resistance (now support). pivotStrength and retestWindow define valid flips.
Mean Reversion RSI
Fade RSI extremes (oversold/overbought) only when trendEma bias agrees. Mean reversion in trends, not blind counter-trend.
