This strategy looks for a bearish shooting star on a 15-minute XAUUSD chart. It requires a minimum candle body, an upper wick at least a configurable multiple of the body, a relatively small lower wick, and a close above the close from a configurable number…
This short-only scalping strategy is designed for XAUUSD on a 15-second chart. It enters when a fast EMA crosses below a slower EMA, subject to a New York session filter that defaults to 7–11 a.m. Eastern Time. A cooldown limits how soon another trade can be…
This futures strategy calculates a central pivot and three support and resistance levels from the previous session’s high, low, and close. Its trading rules enter long when price falls below the first support, or short when price rises above the first…
This strategy uses a fast 20-period exponential moving average and a slower 55-period exponential moving average to trade gold, identified in the description as XAUUSD. A cross of the fast average above the slow average triggers a long entry; a cross below…
The document presents a partially shown TradingView strategy for Silver/USD on a 30-minute chart. Its visible setup combines RSI, Bollinger Bands, short- and medium-length EMAs, ATR, and average volume. It also identifies RSI divergence and candle patterns,…
This example shows how to use U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics average fuel oil prices as a macroeconomic signal alongside Brent crude futures. It demonstrates inspecting datasets and metadata, filtering for national series with long histories, loading…
This calendar-spread style strategy trades the ratio between copper and aluminum futures. It multiplies each contract’s close by its volume multiplier, computes a rolling historical mean and standard deviation, and converts the current ratio to a z-score.…
This short-term strategy uses 10- and 30-period simple moving averages to define crossover signals, then uses RSI to confirm direction: above 50 for a long and below 50 for a short. ATR sets stop and target distances around recent highs or lows, making those…
The document describes a band-breakout approach using a 50-period simple moving average and bands set 2.5 standard deviations above and below it. A close crossing above the upper band triggers a long entry; a close crossing below the lower band triggers a…
This script outlines an intraday gold strategy that trades only during a configured Asia session and uses session VWAP as its trend reference. A long setup requires price above VWAP, a low entering a narrow band around it, and optionally a close back above…
This daily futures example constructs a synthetic steelmaking spread from rebar, iron ore, and coking coal prices, using weights of 1, 1.6, and 0.5. It calculates a 15-day moving average and a standard deviation, then places bands half a standard deviation…
This document describes a trend strategy for gold and silver that combines a long-term EMA filter with Bollinger Bands and RSI. Its stated entries pair an upside band break with RSI below 35 for longs, and a downside band break with RSI above 65 for shorts;…
This XAUUSD strategy combines a 100-period simple moving average (SMA) trend filter with a crossover between 15- and 45-period SMAs for entry timing. Long entries require price above the trend SMA and a fast-SMA crossover above the slow SMA; shorts use the…
This open source strategy targets long positions in MCX silver using momentum signals calculated on a configurable timeframe. Its indicators include volume weighted average price, rate of change, and a standard deviation band. Optional entry filters require…
The described strategy combines Parabolic SAR, CCI, and EMA conditions for directional trades in gold. It uses CCI thresholds above 100 or below -100 alongside SAR and EMA trend conditions to trigger long or short entries. Exits are described as a…
This strategy uses a fast and a slow exponential moving average to generate directional entries: a bullish crossover with price above the slower average opens a long, while a bearish crossover with price below it opens a short. It then sets stop and target…
This intraday strategy combines pivot levels, liquidity-sweep conditions, market-structure shifts, and fair value gap checks. It looks for long or short entries during specified London or New York session windows. A bullish setup requires price to sweep…
This strategy concept looks for a price wick that moves beyond a confirmed recent swing high or low and then closes back inside the level. It adds an absorption condition: elevated participation on the sweep bar and a close back toward the opposite end of…
This long-only XAUUSD strategy builds an opening range from 13:00 to 14:00 UTC, then looks for a close above that range during a defined New York entry window. The signal also requires a bullish candle and volume above 1.5 times its 20-bar average. It limits…
This script combines a higher-timeframe trend filter with local moving average alignment, momentum, and price-action conditions. Long entries require bullish higher- and lower-timeframe trends, a qualifying liquidity sweep, fair value gap, or order-block…
Futures contracts expire at different times, and adjacent contracts can trade at different prices. Joining them without adjustment creates artificial jumps that may be mistaken for signals by a trading model. The note explains how cumulative roll gaps can be…
The article demonstrates a spreadsheet workflow for exploring a claimed weekday pattern in gold-related prices. Using GLD price history, it derives log returns and calendar fields, groups returns by weekday in a pivot table, and charts the sums. It reports…
This article weighs gold’s theoretical status against its observed portfolio behavior. Since gold produces no cash flow and has no clear cash-flow-based valuation anchor, the author argues it does not fit a conventional academic account of a risk premium. In…
The article describes a way to lengthen an ETF’s historical price series when the fund has a short trading record. It maps ETFs to earlier mutual-fund or index return series, calculates cumulative returns, and finds the overlap date when the ETF first has a…
