π― PRECISION SNIPER v1.4.0 β MAJOR UPDATE [MY FREE INDICATOR]
The biggest update yet: scoring engine reworked, risk management upgraded, and a brand-new volatility filter. Here's what changed π
β‘οΈ Scoring engine β fixed and smarter
We found a duplicated MACD condition: one factor was silently counted twice, inflating every score. Removed and replaced with an independent factor β histogram acceleration. The confluence score is now built from 10 truly independent factors.
Bonus: the scale is now adaptive. No volume data on your symbol? Daily timeframe where VWAP makes no sense? Those factors are auto-excluded and grades recalibrate to the real maximum β A+ means A+ everywhere.
π‘ Structure SL β done right
The stop is now placed BEYOND the swing β outside the structure, not inside it where stop hunts live. Capped at 1.5Γ the ATR distance so it never runs away.
π Full Exit at TP3
Trades now complete cleanly at the final target: "TP3 β β Closed" status, instant stats. Prefer letting the runner trail? One toggle brings the legacy behavior back.
οΏ½οΏ½ NEW: High Volatility Filter
The volatility regime finally has teeth β it's no longer just a dashboard label. Three modes:
Skip Signals β no new entries while the market is in chaos (default)
Widen SL β enter anyway, but with a wider stop; all R:R ratios preserved
Off β legacy behavior
Configurable threshold + live dashboard markers (βοΈ / β οΈ).
π Smarter alerts
Webhook JSON now carries the volatility regime in a new "vol" field β more context for your bots. Text alerts show it too.
βοΈ Also inside: reworked Auto-presets (strictness now grows with the timeframe), input validation that catches broken TP/HTF combos on load, and a lighter, faster codebase.
β οΈ Heads-up before updating:
Signals WILL differ from v1.2.x β that's intentional (the scoring fix + new defaults). Full Exit at TP3 is ON and the Vol Filter is set to Skip Signals by default. Full details in the release notes on TradingView.

Three decades since Patrick Mikula released this work into the world. It's built.
GSMU Volumes 1 and 2, along with the Square of Nine guide to forecasting, I opened and worked through each section. His books marked a new chapter for me four years ago, and I wasn't sure where it would lead. This indicator is one of my final implementations from that journey.
Patrick has been my mentor, not in person but through his work and the level of detail he puts into it. I know the time I spent studying, implementing, and testing what he wrote. I can only imagine how much effort it took him to process Gann, build his own software, and present everything the way he did. It still blows my mind.

#Pivots#Trading
Started writing a book in 2022 titled Trading your way to Profits with Pivots, one of my core strategy strengths, after learning the foundations by attending a premium online course of the famous "pivot boss" Frank Ochoa way back during 2020. Due to some reason it is somewhere still in the mature stage. Still remains one of the objectives for this year...... Would like to share a couple of random pates that provides some noteworthy concepts..... Still a long way to go to complete.....
A Trend-Following Strategy (18% Annual Returns Since 1926)
A recent research paper, βA Century of Profitable Industry Trends,β by Carlo Zarattini and Gary Antonacci demonstrates that a straightforward trend-following approach applied to industries has produced impressive long-term results.
The system, based on breakout entries, trailing exits, and volatility-adjusted position sizing, generated approximately 18% annualized returns going back to 1926 across 48 industry portfolios, while maintaining strong risk-adjusted performance.
Trading Rules
The strategy detects trends using simple breakout techniques.
A long position is initiated whenever an industryβs closing price rises above the upper boundary of either a Donchian Channel or a Keltner Channel.
The Donchian signal uses the highest price observed during the previous 20 trading days, while the lower band relies on a longer 40-day lookback period.
This asymmetry encourages the system to remain invested during sustained advances.
The Keltner Channel is constructed around a 20-day exponential moving average combined with a volatility buffer equal to 1.4 times the Average True Range, again paired with a 40-day lower band.
The strategy only takes long positions. When no industries display clear upward momentum, capital is allocated to Treasury bills instead of remaining exposed to equities.
Risk management
Risk management is handled through volatility targeting. Each industry position is scaled so that it contributes a similar amount of risk to the overall portfolio.
Allocation weights are therefore inversely proportional to recent 14-day volatility, meaning more volatile industries receive smaller positions.
To keep leverage within realistic limits, total portfolio exposure is capped at 200%.
Exits are governed by a trailing stop mechanism. The stop level is defined as whichever is higher between the lower Donchian band and the lower Keltner band, both calculated using a 40-day lookback.
Importantly, once the stop moves higher, it is never reduced. This allows profitable trends to continue while ensuring losing trades are closed quickly.

Daniel Kahneman - the psychologist who won a Nobel in economics - spent his life proving one thing: your confidence is lying to you
A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. The answer "10 cents" jumps to mind instantly. It's wrong (it's 5 cents) - and ~50% of students at Harvard, MIT and Princeton say it without checking.
That gap is his whole point: the fast, intuitive mind builds a clean story from almost nothing, and the feeling of certainty has nothing to do with being right.
"Confidence is a feeling, not a judgment."
"Stock pickers can't develop intuition - there isn't enough regularity for it to form."
"You can build a very coherent story out of very little information."

NR7 algo trading strategy by Tony Crabel for low volatility breakout setups
Setup: Buy at the close when todayβs range is the smallest of the last 7 days. Quiet markets often precede big moves.
Exit: Sell when price closes above yesterdayβs high.
Backtest (S&P 500 ETF): ~7β8% annualized returns since the 1990s, ~25% max drawdown, invested about one-third of the time.
Tip: A 200-day moving average filter may reduce drawdowns.
