I am trying to develop a 1 min scalping strategy
Using rsi macd lux with the trend tracer and the support resistance levels
But it is not giving me great results...
Do you guys trade in the minute?
Trading the 1m, even the 5m; if you don't have a track record with it it most likely won't end well
Frictional costs will destroy any trades
For those wanting to use 1m or 5 m use it to time scalps, look at this AAPL chart. this is 15, 5, and 1minute lining up
the white dotted lines are when the 1 minute started to hit a reversal zone and where price was at with the 15 min. and 5 minute
the 15 minute was hitting up against trend tracer that was still green but trend catcher was red and for the 5 minute price was hitting up against trend tracer that was green a
but price still hitting up against it
so you ask yourself is price likely to continue to go up or reverse down to the 1 minute predictive line
This is why I was asking for those who already trade futures, like the results in the results channel. They already know how to do it right.
Don't quite get it... Could you explain it for dummies please?
I dont understand this, when i'm watching the weekly the indicators show this:
which to me is bullish on 4h but if i switch to 4h its bearish
its either bullish or bearish ....
this is on 4h
i notice sensitivity is also different
using autopilot
This is because they are very different timeframes
The data on the 4h chart and weekly chart are very different
A lower timeframe may be trending downwards whereas a higher can be trending up
yes i reallize that but the 4h is 4h on both charts , it dont make sense to me to be honest
i'm not a great TA but i'm just thinking that little view is the quick view of what the also thinks for that timeframe
I have a good question (I think):
If you aren't on auto-pilot should you use the recommended sensitivity in the dashboard or the Optibot? ๐ค
what do you call the mini view thingy (MFT?) , for that yes i compared the weekly with 4h
@vale dragon https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/signal-settings#choosing-the-right-method
i'm sure i'm doing it wrong but then again both are giving info on 4h
So you're saying the dashboard shows the 4h to be bullish
and when you go to the 4h on your chart; it's bearish?
That just says what it is-no mentioned of which would be more accurate I would imagine the dashboard since it's updated Live.
yes bullish on weekly chart and bearish on 4h chart
Oh yes this is very possible
So just to be clear; you look at the 4h and it's bearish and then look at the weekly it's bullish?
They are different things really; optibot will of course test over more candles and for both sens and agility and updates once a day; the dashboard updates frequently and just optimised for sens
see the mini thingy on lower right, not sure what to call that ๐
Dashboard
yeah the dashboard , thanks ๐
I learn what things are called by unchecking boxes to see what disappears lol
If I recall Optibot is more accurate than auto-pilot? Its just a question if you want to manually update as it does.
hehe yeah did play with it allot and went default and autopilot, seems to be best for me as i'm not the best TA and dont get all the settings even if i read on many of them, like the easy clean view of signals
the MTF feature is not using any lookahead, as such it is indicating the previous Buy signal on the 4h, a way to put it is that the Strong sell is currently not part of the wekly candle, hence why its not indicated, we can eventually change that in the future.
It's not too much of a question of accuracy; the 2 methods aren't compared against each other ever so there's no real statistics on that. We just normally recommend AP as it's easier for users and proves effective quite frequently
they are all 3 exclusive methods of optimisation with different perks and drawbacks for users ๐
Here's where I read it
thanks, it makes sense, so i need to be on the right timeframe for it to be usable so to say i guess
Yes in terms of all the permutations of sensitivity and agility being set at fixed values this will be the case over 2000 bars
However AP will not used fixed values in its signal settings
So that's where the difference lies really
Over 2000 bars; optibot will perform better than the dashboard's recommendations
thank you
Thats like 1,000 hours on 30 min
yep it tests quiet a large amount of data ๐
or 41.6 days
333.33 days-ish
hey everyone , is it possible to save the setting for lux algo oneach pair in trading view? i tried saving as template but the settings dont switch. or do you have to change the settings everytime your on a different pair manually?
never mind got it
it means that the current signal (the labels displayed in the oscillator) given by the oscillator is a sell signal
Too bad we couldn't trigger just that in alerts
Thank you
๐
Whats the best sensitivity and agility for short term
Been doing my own just curios of what yours is
I'm on auto
Ye, I was gonna do that
What just happened guys?
?
What's a good TSL for BTC? Using 2% /2%
@vale dragonOptibot is more accurate
I thought so.
I am going to enter a TSL in my trading bot for Bybit, probably 2%/3%
And it just hit me-I wonder if this can be used for futures on Binance/Kucoin? Maybe.
Seems alts may have more movement than the bigger cap ones
depends on what you mean by 2%, if you place your sl such that you only risk 2% of your capital then yes, it is a good choice.
Using these to give me quick prices for TSL. I wish these could be traded via bot, but Alertatron doesn't use funcions/calls that I know of.
2% trigger/3% TSL
or maybe even 1 and 2
Back to Futures (not the movie lol), does anyone know if paper trading futures is possible on Binancne and/or Kucoin?
Yes, you can get a demo account on Binance
It comes with 100K usd (fakes)
Check for test et Binance and open an account there
You can see how in YouTube
@loud bramble Sorry we limit to once a day but appreciate your success sharing ๐
All good just super happy with this indicators results. Pnl is on ๐ฅ
Very glad to hear it ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Where can I find an in depth guide on how to read the oscillator properly?
Hi , I registered for quarterly plan, I did get access
You didn't get access? Did you link your accounts?
If you did try logging out then in of Tradingview and it should work
Yes I link my account
I think my account has not been completed
I have written an email with my account number
Please help
Yes I didn't get access
Did you log out then in?
Is there anywhere I can see Optimizer settings for AMC stock?
Optibot doesn't support AMC currently however you can use the recommended sensitivity on the dashboard or use Autopilot โบ๏ธ
If possible could you send me a screenshot of your Tradingview profile?
Just so I can verify your username
That does appear to have access, and you tried logging out then in?
I did log out and log in
And when you go to a chart, invite only you see nothing?
Hey guys! anyone care to share a scalp/swing trading strategy that they use with the lux algo?
Just got this today and still testing the water with it hehe
Here's my YouTube, I release examples of strategies here โบ๏ธ
Hopefully that helps
This is fantastic.. Thank you for this.
Pleasure ๐
So jealous (jokingly). Deff wanted this type of material
You shouldn't do; alerts occur on candle close ๐
Can I see your settings boss
I don't have any alerts set currently; but you can use the guide to see example setups ๐

@empty solar
Just watched your video-very interesting.
So this is what I see now-1 short, 1 long then another short according to what I watched.
I suppose one can trade this when ranging and switch back when trending
I noticed this as well

I was watching your video on this and your oscillator settings didn't match well (different exchange, for one), so do we just adjust it to fit like this?
What do you mean by didn't match well?
The oscillator didn't match what the candle activity was doing at all-almost opposite
This screenshot looks very correlated no?
So I adjusted the length
oh I see it's adjusted
Screenshot is after I adjusted
Sure; feel free to adjust; it's the concept behind the strat that's the takeaway from the vid ๐
ok-and this keeps me out of those opposing signals as well
(optibot settings too)
There's 2 to ignore
Why I went long TSLA this morning at around 9:45ish, used the 15, 5, and 1 minute chart
I would love to have my Trading Viewer to look like @hidden moss Chart what are those indicators that are in your last photo.
held the long until the 15 minute predictive range. Options went from 10.2 to 15.6
Hey great vid, it works! Do you know where can I learn more about the bottom indicator of the vid?
Here on the 5 minute I faded the strong signals. This seems to work well with TSLA but during certain times of the day
line it up with the 1 minute
which length you are using ?
Just adjust yours to fit-I'm on a different exchange, it will be different
Bollinger Bands, and fisher transform oscillator, both are builtins tradingview indicators.
the lux volatility? see https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-metrics-premium/lux-volatility
Thanks Alex
How do you calibrate the settings on Algo for stoxs or Crypto that's not listed under OptiBot?
you can use the recommended sensitivity in the dashboard, or perform manual adjustments, see https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/signal-settings#manual-adjustments
Thank you
Does the dashboard show confirmations signals agility or just the signals sensitivity?
only sensitivity, as such the one recommended depends on the current agility value used.
@fast cradle make sure to include images into #๐ฐshare-profits ๐
oop my bad
i appreciate what gecko does for the community with strategies that he comes up with hehe
Make sure to leave a comment and a like then 
Is it possible to have a auto pilot for contranian settings?
Unfortunately not at the moment, but this could eventually be implemented in the future :)
Suggestion - on the dashboard the recommended sensitivity is turned off once you selected "both" under the signal mode. will be good to still keep the recommendation since we will have to adjust it for the contranian signals
What is the best scalping technique and settings?
To catch 1-2% each trade
Still getting used to the settings - what is the optibot all about? and the sensitivity and agility is under which

Why did tsla have it's turnaround and limited movement today?
everything indicated that it was gonna go down hard, then it screwed me out of $125
It's called normal market movement-no one knows
You can have everything you see say one thing and it can turn in a heartbeat
Am I the only one who thinks Optibot could be one of the Transformers? Just sayin'.
๐ญ ok
Anyone got benzinga pro?
@hidden moss what made you think TSLA was going to go down hard?

Cool eh? ๐
I was wondering, whether theres a list of stocks which do the best with LUX or the best for the day sort of things
Like percentile volatility
Cause if not that would be nice
Ah not currently; no screeners for that
Hey does anyone know... is it worth trading in Eth Pairs // on coinbase they have ADA/ETH... is that profitable or should i just stick to ADA/BTC or ADA/USDT?
I am still really not sure if its worth trading in other pairs.. am i losing profit by using it for a base pair?
First institutional activity I've seen all day
that too
Could that at the same time as institutional activity be a sign of a drop shortly?
and MCD crossed down earlier
I went short at 36205
just a hunch

@fathom oak
I am new to Lux algo. I use .10 risk.
If I am winning 9 out of 10 trades using a demo account. Should I go now to live account? By the way, I am using Lux Algo in analyzing those trades.
Hi there, i'm new to luxalgo. I dont understand clearly what signal does lux because as you can see on the image below it's written "sell" signal, then a "strong" in green (mean buy ?), then another "strong" in red. I'm pretty confused of what is the signal of the indicator.
Does green "strong" mean "strong buy" or only "highly recommanded to sell in this area" ?
and the signal on the oscilator is to "buy" while i have a red strong on the chart
red strong means "Strong Sell". While the green strong means "Strong Buy"
As MJ says red is strong and green is strong see here: https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/signals#type-of-signals
You cant just take trades like that , you need a strategy and let lux algo to do the most part of it . I never enter trades directly after the strong confirmation apears
could you help me out with your settings ? I am pretty new here
Welcome ๐
Have you by chance seem any of my videos, it's a good place to start
Some nice ideas for trading here
will have a look at it
!backtest SOFI 15 stochastic(50,20,7)
@untold sinew
yoyoyo
wondering about the alerts
Should they look like this if setting them up for any buy or sell signal?
Did you select the buy/sell within the Lux Settings?
Where do I view the signals sent out?
so you have to select any alert funcion call and then select all the buys and sells from the list?
You can opt into scanners here: #๐scanners-premium
First you select the conditions in the list
Then you set the alert
how do i get to the lux algo indicator settings
The Lux Algo settings are where all the good stuff is and it's a vital part so I suggest taking a read of our docs but it's as simple as double clicking a signal
Then it brings up the settings pane
Could you share the settings you have with lux algo by any chance?
like a screenshot or something
ive turned on the alert function call conditions but just wondering for the rest of the settings
You can see what I use in some of my videos: https://youtube.com/channel/UCDM5XcH0ogAPkNMGE8zK_og
These are nice strategy and setting ideas
The filtering method using normalized with the oscillator with the settings in the video doesn't always work so well. Can't change the settings because trades just before those matched well. Still trying to find a way, maybe MACD above or below but it's not that great either.
The method in the video is a super super conservative method with not too many trades so yeah you miss out on some nice ones
Here's with auto-pilot unless we are supposed to ignore that entire downtrend because of the blue candles
Not seeing much help here either.
I measured all the trades from 6/1 to now. One thing that may help is shorts only under 200 sma/longs only above although there are some nice ones that start and cross over it
I need to go back and measure them that way
I do notice the Lux trend line is below the line so I may able to use that-will have to check the other trades.
That would have worked here as well
should help the odds anyway
Actually after my current trade I'll experiment with TSL using Alertatron. Trigger at 1.5-2% with a .5/.75% SL. Seems safe, should lose very few and only a few trades per day at 1015X would be plenty.
I have a trade going now using TSL.
Alertatron is a little different. If I set, say 500 (for $500) if I read correctly, once it goes in the right direction $500, it triggers and starts following the price. So in theory, the lowest stop loss (assuming price moves the same direction) would be at entry point. From there it keeps following up until it drops $500 from i's highest price. This should be interesting.
as I wrote that, mine triggered
Just spoke with Alertron chat and he sent me the commands for a long and short with a 2% trigger and 0.5% TSL. Above and beyond.
It runs all the TSL and other triggers in their background (you can see the output screen) so nothing is entered in the exchange until the first trigger.
I also sent him a screenshot of Lux and an invite here.
Hi, got a question : can we know in the institutional activity if they rather short or long ? We have just bar chart but no color to indicates the moove
That's sadly not possible to detect but you can imply this using the other indicators ๐
well, i see mostly institutionnal activity before a big moove but sometime it is in the trend and sometimes it pre-shots next trend so ... x)
here it preshot a drop
but we are in a buy trend
and here it preshot the pump according to the trend ^^
TSLA short this morning. Price hitting 15 min predictive line, 5min trend tracer/catcher still red, 1 min in red reversal zone and r2 predictive line

can we backtest a signal from LUX algo ?
You cannot I'm afraid for now
The blue?
You have contrarian signals on the chart
is a buy there
Contrarian signals go against the trends, ideally I'd suggest sticking with only confirmation signals if you're new
How did everyone do on tsla?
@empty solar
I think I have it fgured out! I need to backtest (manually).
Here's how we can filter out:
Use the Trend Tracker. Like here, whether you enter Short by the Strong signal or the Trend Tracer, where you see the 3 places where the Tracer turns green, the Tracker is still red, so you stay short.
Here it's opposite. You're in a Long, Tracer turns red but Tracker stays green, so you stay long.
Optionally, on the right you could wait until both Tracker and Tracer go red after the Strong Short signal and go Short
The Oscillator doesn't match as well or as quick, so I don't use it for this
another example
Absolutely a very nice idea for filtering, love to see these sorts of approaches for trends
and later if its added as an option, it can be automated. It's not 100% but it's better than what I was trying by trading off Tracer colors alone or Tracker alone. A few different ways to enter.
Fair point...this is a good idea when it's trending. Was backtesting couple of symbols, can see false signals. Need to identify when it's ranging/trending
And if this comes up, use the oscillator as 2nd confirmation
very interesting filtering
that mean when all trand line passing red + get signal SELL/STRONG
it's opportunity to open a short
in theory
There's no way to have the tracer and tracker cross, otherwise I would try that but look at the colors and the rest before entring or exiting
and can complete with oscilattor
Why i have a feeling that he found a golden idea
@vale dragon Trend Tracker means Trend Catcher?
I meant trend tracer-my bad
Too soon to know
You just said never twice ๐คฃ
I love making that joke
Watching this right now-as soon as they cross and both are green, I'm going long
I submitted my username on TradingView

Fixed, thank you!
I think I'll look at something other than btc on Bybit, see if they trade better
decided to fully utilize lux algo
this program is seriously underrated
I just wish we had a lux algo macd/ttm squeeze indicator
Has anyone compared using lux algo btc vs eth to see which one profits more?
Hello, Iโm new here. Does anybody use LUX alerts to trade automatically? Iโm having trouble coming up with a strategy that triggers consistent results
Isn't the Institutional activity the TTM Squeeze?
I Use them on a couple of my bots, They are under test right now. I use the Confirmed Buy /Sell Signals to trigger trades on a 15Min Time frame. The only problem is when the trend ends.. It throws up multiple signals and thats where I have been seeing loses. Over all its been ok. I need to find away to disable the bots when the trend starts to change, Any suggestions would be great..
@empty solar any suggestions ?
Take profit then
You could maybe use Lux volatility?
Or a little unknown feature; the end of trend in Lux metrics
Indeed yes, a very choppy zone
Thanks Mate, Good suggestion with the end of trend
Use a TSL?
TSL is an option.. But the trades are on continuous Modes.. its either Buying or selling.. and in a sideways or a ranging market TSL doesn't help much.. even before it reaches TP another Signal is generated. So there has to be some way to filter these out. But I am really not sure what that could be.
Is thete somewhere we can learn how to read and adjust? I'm not sure how to read end of trend.
Big change on 30 min Optibot for BTC
From 21/36 to 15/40.
That's perrty ๐
You could just enter/exit off of those.
which reminds me of a question:
If we constantly update with Optibot numbers and the Auto-Pilot is updating, doesn't that mean if I try to measure in the past, it would be inaccurate? Because the settings at the time would have been different than what it shows now.
๐ค
Any advice on how to adjust this? It looks interesting
I added a 50% line for quick reference
looks like the 20% line could be used as well for end of a trend
@empty solar Just a question, where can I read how the Lux Oscillator is put together? What I mean in simple words, what does it measure exactly?
30 minutes chart does look pretty.. But if you're dealing with one Scrip that's OK.. But when you have lots of scrip's that work on manual sensitivity parameters you have to keep creating new alerts everytime to match the optibots settings on each one of them. ๐ฉ
I'm just using the one and redoing alerts only takes a minute.
Accuracy is better and what I prefer, especially if it's automated
Alrighty then
@vale dragon can i dm you?
I don't use DMs unless its an Admin
Besides, I'm still trying to make things consistent so I still don't know what I'm doing yet, just trying different things.
Testing on weekends is pointless.
i just wanna make a suggestion
donโt want to spam here
ill write it up when i get home from work
Iโd recommend turning on auto pilot with the following settings
turning on metrics, and leaving it on volatility instead of end of trend
and then also using the oscillator and switching it to legacy mode.
learn how everything works and how it can work together, and then youโll have a kickass setup
test it on crypto
Lux Algo is an amazing tool. Utilize it to itโs full potential

Thanks @hidden moss but when you override the sensitivity settings with auto pilot.. i dont see that making any difference to the other inputs.
i just auto pilot it and leave it alone
the buy/sell signals are just extra confirmation
relying on the signals is setting you up for failure
true..
Hello I just purchased lux algo, cant find ''Invite only script'' optin in tradingview indicator selection. any suggestions?
I also noticed that the 5 min time frame gives the best signals if we are using bots.. Rather than higher timeframes like 15 mins and 30. 5 mins gives you Early entries and exits. There are problems when the markets go sideways.. But those losses are overridden when it catches a bigger longer trend.
A couple of my bots are on test on 15 mins and some are on 5. I'll share the results here in a few days.
yes
But I am trying to figure out How to avoid and disable the bots when its on sideways and ranging.. I am not sure on wht parameters I could disable these?
But I guess you win some and loose some Probably will have to live with it
Have you connected your accounts?
Hey, why do you prefer the auto pilot settings to the optibot settings given? Optibot seems to have been pretty accurate on btc over the last month
Hi All,

Regarding using Optibot settings absolutely correct which is the inherent issue with optimising using backtests. However autopilot won't change past values so what you see is what you get once the bar is closed
You could backtest each Optibot window using the settings given for that period however

@empty solar is backtesting not allowed in fx pairs?
They are; you've just been using it with a captial B
It's a lowercase b
How about an alert when the dashboard switches between trending and ranging? Not to trade off of, but for those who don't trade ranging times.
Then later on, can be used as an optional filter in the script
We shall look into doing this ๐ Only issue is it requires a plot

do reversal zones work
All depends on the time frames you use, longer it's excellent
what about 5 min char
chart
I found that it does work well if combined with the Oscillator, Premium on Autopilot and S/R on. Before entries I check Overbought / Oversold and Divergences on Oscillator, I personally stay out if the Institutional index "ticks" up and it's a Short day, just personal preference, and Signals obviously on. But take into consideration that I'm an established and experienced high leverage scalp trader full-time, but yes the mentioned works for me, I have a 85%+ success ratio, a bit of a dare devil in most people's point of view. You need to have a plan, backtest it thoroughly and "play" with it until your winning ratio is optimal...this on the 5min...oh and I trade Crypto exclusively

The backtest is performed using the most recent 2000 bars atm.
can we backtest sensivity and agility ?
Optibot will do this for you โบ๏ธ
There are 50 pieces of data in the csv file, is the first index the best? or what are the others

@empty solar Predictive Ranges, does it differ between different time zones or is it fixed?
Do you mean Candle Type?
Nope, the predictive ranges are fixed ๐ So it doesn't matter what timezone you're in

Hi guys, just a question, will the directiion of predictive channels tells me if the trend is going up or going down? Thank you
They definitely could be used in this way yes ๐

Hi @empty solar! Just went over the institutional support video. You mention it uses [Someone]'s hypothesis, but I didn't catch the name. Whose?
Anyone want to make bets on how this one ends?
๐
How is the bulls vs bears control percentage calculated?
That's not currently disclosed but if people start to find it useful we may turn it into a bigger feature
Is that in the documentation-how to interpret it,
How to interpret it? Basically it's just a measure of market dominance and who is more active in the market at a given point
Iโm just curious about the accuracy is all
any one think us30 is still a long sell
lots of indexes and gold went down today but now its just consolidating really, so wondering if anyone thin this will continue.
Bollinger width, CCI, and RSI all indicate a bullish divergence. The way the resistance trend looks, I want to say we break 35k by the end of this week. But if there is bad news from China today then maybe not

how can i do a lenght backtest using legacy with lux oscillator ?
You cannot currently I'm afraid

So, is there a lenght value you recommend for 15 minutes?
That totally depends on how you plan to use it. It's super hard to recommend, it's a bit like asking for the best moving average length, it depends how you want to use it
Personally I like values like 50
Or even 100
Most people would not

That is definitely one way to interpret it yep ๐
Hallo can i ask what are the settings at the 24 live demo ?
Those will be defaults
I'm not getting my alerts on Strong signals - is it 'Crossing', 'Once per Bar Close' and the following message in the message section: {{plot("Strong Sell")}}? ? Please don't point me to the help page - I've read it back to front but still no alerts...
Do you have a screenshot of your settings
Yes you've selected it quite wrong here. The condition should be Lux Algo Premium
Then in the next drop down you select strong Sell
Then once per bar close
And it will work ๐
The crossing drop-down is used for if X crosses Y, here we are dealing with labels
change your condition to Lux algo first
None of them
Ahh nice one
Thanks ๐

Hi guys @hidden moss any suggestions in how to determine what are the coins best to trade or with the best chances of return in futures so you go and trade those in a day with LUX indicator?
I mean, lux indicator can help us in make lots of money by doing great trades.. But how do we know what coin to trade for the maximum return???
For futures crypto..
Thanks @empty solar @hidden moss
It's quite a hard thing to forecast
Sorry just to check. I just joined this and was wondering what sensitive and agility meant in optibot
If we had a method of knowing which coins would pump we'd announce it, you could use institutional activity
Welcome ๐
See here
If you had a method on what coins to pick you wouldnโt share it. Youโd be living on a yacht
How would institutional activity help me spotting what coins would pump or dump harder than others?
@empty solar
Because it suggests institutions are entering positions
And when institutions enter a market it tends to have an impact
One thing you can always count on, when it does all that sideways crap, you know a big move is coming soon.
Looking back at it, I think I see a way to avoid most of it
i got a hard lesson last night that you should stick to the plan no matter what
got my entry after the bearish divergence formed, then shortly after i got scared after thinking i saw a cup and handle
closed almost break even and went long ๐
went straight to where i was aiming shortly after and further lol
Yep sometimes we need that reminder

Looks like a long trade coming soon?
The bottom part is a Renko script I'm testing that auto-adjusts ATR, but mainly using it for confirmation.
And no, I won't share it. ๐ค It distracts from Lux and I'm not even sure it's any good-never found a good Renko strat. In theory, it's awesome. In reality, ehhhh
Yeah that's the thing with Renko, looks good on paper....
But alas, it's eh in my opinion
Looking good, Mr. Kotter. Those 2 trend lines are agreeing and negotiating lol
I did enter Long on the recent Renko alert, but Renko flips too much I think. I'm doing screen capture to see if it can be used for confirmation, exits or something. If not, no biggie.
I did manual backtesting blindly flipping the Buy/Sell and Strong Buy/Sell from 6/1/21 to now and it still came out ahead.
Another idea I thought of was to exit positions whenever either of those lines change to an opposite color. I need to backtest with that method. You may lose out on some continuing moves, but the losses may be less.
I also noticed that squeeze, so something's getting ready to move. ๐
Looks like it may stall
Renko can be hard to trade. I didn't see much benefit in it over traditional candles.
That Renko entry played out well this time. I've never used one that auto-adjusted ATR so I'll keep testing it and recording numbers.
If anything give me another confirmation on staying on a trade or trend
Does anyone have good settings to day trade SPY?
Have you tried optibot?
Now Im new myself and maybe I am misunderstanding.....isnt the otibot the lux algo or is it something seperate?
Itโs separate. It has its own discord channel with suggested sensitivity and agility settings

Here's a quick video on the multiple ways you can adjust signal settings within Lux Algo on TradingView and use Optibot within our Discord. Optibot is b...
Seperate section that gives suggested settings for different timeframes and many currencies, Forex, etc.... for those who don't use auto
Ahhhhh-HA!
Once an alert is triggered, wait for the price to close below the cloud in a short-similar to Ichimoku-do not trade in the cloud. It doesn't always work when things get weird.
Longs are the opposite. I know exit going back up thru the bottom of the cloud works well, but still trying to figure that out. It won't work as I hoped, so looking for other ways for a good exit.
Other examples
Works great thanks. I have to read up on all the indicators associated with it but I like what Iโm seeing

Man when both cross with the same color, they really move
seconds later
Just had an idea-If I load a 2nd instance of Lux, could I not set Trend Tracer crossing over tracker?
๐ค
Dude-just zoomed in an dnoticed the reds never crossed-this was all one long. wow
No luck-it doesn't look like I can cross those 2 even with 2 Lux's loaded
You can set an alert for this without 2 instances ๐
the trend tracker and tracer crossing?
It won't work all the time, but nothing does. I'd need to go back and check.
And notice again once price cleared the cloud it started moving more. ๐
What's indicator is the cloud in the middle?
There isn't one for that. Just the lines on the edges
I see it now, had to place Tradingview on my good monitor ๐
@empty solar can I get a referral code? a buddy wants to subscribe.....
I manually backtested to June 1st just blindly flipping the green/red/green and it still did well.
How do we do this? Only 1 shows up in the alert dropdown.
You're trying to make an alert when the catcher and tracer cross?
Yeah, I'd like to test it.
Although so far this is working-hasn't closed on TSL yet using 0.75%/0.75%
need it to do several trades before I know
You need to select crossing
๐๐๐
learn something new all the time
Yep lots of fun alerts you can set
Can even have Cloud 1 and 2 cross
Exactly
more to test-fun fun fun
Crosses of price and reversal zones ect
need to go and bactest that while this trade runs
Should the Lux algo be used with extended hours enabled?
If you trade extended hours that'd make sense yep, else it's not needed
First TSL closed. $200 position at 20x. The highest it reached was $57.00. I entered again with a 0.75%/1.0% TSL to see what happens.
It's still better than negative anything. ๐
quick question about the oscillator. the red bars only seem to be on the top half. does it only indicate when institutions are selling or buying as well?
It only shows the opening of positions, not the exact direction
understood. where are you guys getting this data about institutional activity?
It's using Schalen's hypothesis ๐
why are the recommended sensitivities way off of what i'm getting on optibot?
Because Optibot tests over more bars and for agility pairings also
so optibot would be the better sensitivity for the day
i've been monitoring the smaller time frames this weekend and it really seemed to work well. but this recent price action this morning seems to not be cooperating with the confirmations. what's the normal timeframes people are trading successfully with this tool?
Optibot settings are good for more than 1 day-I've seen them for 5+ days if you look at the post history. It depends on the previous backtests.
@empty solar
Is it 2,000 candles?
what timeframes are you trading using Lux
30
I must say the more i deep the more im impressed with this algo
not enough movement between trades on shorter ones for me
The digger you deep? lol....
Yep it's 2000 bars ๐ The lower timeframes post daily
Then the 30m, 1h post monday and wednesday
and 4h just monday
good to know. Thanks!
do you trade when the Lux Volatility is high?
It's all automated. Higher volatility means bigger moves
it's 93.63% right now during this short
That being said, don't take my word on anything, I'm still searching for consistency, but I'm closer.
Looking at this with the Oscillator crossing down and the cloud is closing up, this looks to be moving further down, correct?
Good thing I work from home-I can test a lot more lol
However, I would wait to enter based on HA
What sensitivity is this? Iโm trying out the auto feature but still not getting that one indicator
Its in the Optibot section
Iโll try again when I get to my machine I was getting a could buys on the downside too
Iโll screen cap when I get back
Is it better heikinashi for the lux algo or normal candles
normal i think
I use HA for guidance is a trade may continue or reverse
Looks like my analysis earlier was correct-for once. I entered again before this latest drop. ๐ค
2nd trade on this dump-$85 total
Closed just in time-HA says it may or may not reverse here
if this candle in HA ends up red, I may enter again. Def if the next 2 go red.
like it just did lol---the Force is With Me
A lot of people trade-off of HA candles alone. There's lots of info about how to read them.
The ones with small bodies with a wick and a tail, one guy called Kaitlin Jenner candles because they don't know which way they want to go. ๐คฃ
So exiting on those is the way to go
yea i decided to stick around since the 15m formed a hidden divergence on on that candle
and haven't seen any divergence yet on the 1h
made the mistake last night to not wait for it as well and short too early
if the next has a solid red and a tail with no wick, it's time to go short again-in theory
now that's pretty
you can see what I mean there
Just went short again
ohw wow
I closed that one manually, set an exit for when price crosses above the Tracer line instead of TSL. See what happens.
another $48-ish
Is there a way for optibot to alert you on strong buy/sell of the stocks it scans?
Yes, but can it alert you when BA gives a strong signal?
Or would I have to set that in TV?
You'll need to set this in TV ๐
Ok thanks
FwiwโฆI find 26 sensitivity to be a good medium for most stocks
Still tinkering but liking the signal results when itโs set on 26 so far
!settings
Everything you need to know on optimizing signal settings: https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/signal-settings
With color conformation simple, whats a good way to determine if the stock will fall alot even if the candles are green?
tsla did that
Metrics went down, candles were green. Itโs just making me scratch my head right now
When using multiple Lux tools (eg Algo Premium, Oscillator, Metrics, RAR, etc) do you typically set the length the same for them all? ๐
Perhaps you could look for divergences if you're looking for possible reversals ?
as well as the hidden divergence on that low shortly after hinting on a possible trend continuation
is that all auto?
the Lux settings i've put them on auto in that screenshots as my optibot settings are set on 30m TF
for BTC
I mainly trade on the 3m and omitted RSI since lux is a powerful took
tool
just need to be proficient at using it
I think you could do something similar with the Lux oscillator in regards of divergences, I'm not sure tbh, I just added it for you, but looking at that indicator you might be able to use that also
ok, yea the screenshots were set on 3m charts for you as i saw you were using 3m charts
๐
@gaunt sinew may I dm you with questions on the normal oscillator, should you be willing?
@empty solar or anyone else. I need help with a great indicator to confirm a signal. I am watching tesla.. its been consolidating.. not sure if i should go Long. What has worked for everyone else as a secondary confirmation to a strong buy signal?
hlw bro sorry to distrub u
can u plz tell me what line is this??
looks like either 200MA or 200 EMA
200MA
oh sure bro? and he add it manually? or any auto from list?
yea almost 100% sure
if you look on your screenshot it goes through those candles identical
@jade star All good ๐
200 sma I use for trend reference
It doesn't akways go thru candles. When it hovers around that SMA not a good time to trade imo as it's not made up its mind.
Ok i see what you mean. 3 candles stalled there which makes sense
Many times after its clear which way price is going, you'll get good moves
In theory. ๐ค
I hope price drops more
aah no i just highlighted that area as a reference point for the guy who asked what indicator it was
thnx bro
I'm glad you brought that up.
Right now I'm testing trade entries as price crosses up or down the Trend Tracer. Using a 1%/0.75% TSL.
Looking at this area, that probably would have closed each time before price reached the SMA, both directions. So I may check to see if that could be another entry point.
Good, bad or ugly, I have a Long trade coming it looks like.
first test trying this using Trend Tracer and using TSL
The ema 9 looks interesting and I "may" try to use those crossing if not in a trade. Manually watching those, smaller TSL.
I feel like I should have a lab with Tesla coils sparking and a lab coat lol
Cryptenstein
@vale dragon I'm currently trying the trend tracer the same as you. So far it seems to work but I'm trying it on forex
You just need predictive ranges
Add the reversal zones and you are $$$
Although I do like the trend catcher and tracer
Use it on higher timeframes
Not sure how to use predictive ranges unless it's like support and resistance-looks similar
ok-duh. its in the name
No idea how to set it up, unless you changes the numbers to match
kind of like that
Seems like its easier to use these on Forex from what I've seen. Maybe BTC is too volatile
I'd switch it a second if it did work better
I see people's results
Yea sometimes I think btc is too volatile for the signals
hey quick question guys...new to lux algo....does the auto pilot change sensitivity settings automatically for each time frame!?
yep
My strategy is killing it, little tweak from the YouTube strategy
Hi
I do not have success with crypto ... the signals are too slow- is there anyone having succes? what is the secret?
๐ง
Have you seen any of my videos?
Using signals as entires most of the time isn't the best idea
@empty solar
You're saying it's a bad idea to use the singals with crpytos?
I literally just bought this ๐ฅฒ
dont trade altcoins. use only ether with 1-4h timeframes
why not 15 minutes?
Nope not what I said
@empty solar sorry..
Hahaha that's ok, I just meant following them blindly or using them for entries isn't the best approach
If you're looking for good approaches you can find them on my channel
link?
tyyy
I love you Lux
wait for a bit let it run some through reversal zone then short then buy at predictive range
Which pair/crypto and tf?
Still love you Lux
let's see if it reverses
@warped nova can you explain the strategy
can i see your strategy?
it did not reverse which is why it is good to wait for confirmation. Price never closed above or retested the predictive range in the reversal zone
this time it worked well, not quite to the predictive range but with other indicators/price action you could tell
Anyone here from uk?
Are you ready for tomorrow: https://www.tradingview.com/x/G6yfFfB7/
I am from London UK and you ?
Leicester
Any video can teach this search it on YouTube
What pair is that
It's not Crypto so no lol
This is why I can't automate this strat
So I've went away from my 30 min btc and TSL-it just doesn't move enough and TSL kills what I make. And was using Market in/out.
I decided to get complicated now.
4 HR Bybit chart.
Trend Tracer is my trigger for entry for now.
Using Limit Orders for entry and exit (try to save $), 2 TPs, 1.5% and 2.5%
If TP 1 doesn't reach, my Stop Loss triggers a 1% loss.
If TP 1 is reached, entry becomes Stop Loss, 50% of contracts close at 1.5% profit, the other 50% at TP2 (2.5%)
Hopefully, all that will make a difference
In theory, of course. ๐ค
But on 4 hour charts, there's the fear1% SL could easily hit, but I have to try
When a trade has already been completed, I may manually re-enter based on the EMA 9 and the oscillator-most are really nice.
In theory.
That looks perrrrrty
I'm ready to use the Dark Side of the Force if needed.
As if I accidentally closed my gold trade (at the top blue arrow) when I was closing some other trades, look at that drop ๐ข Managed to do a quick scalp after though
Looking for suggestions:
So I'm trading on 4 HR BTC Bybit chart.
Currently, I'm testing 2 TPs and 1.5% closing 50% of my position and 2.5% closing the rest. My stop loss is 1% if TP 1 isn't reached, then moves to entry price once TP-1 is reached.
Any recommendations on those numbers?
After I see this working, I'll try to edit to where when TP-2 is reached, TP-1 is stop loss, etc....
For those of you who know more about this type of setup on 4 hours
