Description

MASU Ultimate — MTF · Ribbon · SMC · OrderFlow · VolRegimeA systematic multi-confluence strategy built for precious metals against USD (XAU/USD, XAG/USD, XPT/USD, XPD/USD). It combines trend structure, higher-timeframe context, smart money concepts, order flow, and volatility regime into a single entry decision — nothing fires unless every layer agrees.Designed and tested on 15M, 30M, and 1H. Do not run on forex, equities, or crypto — the defaults, session filter, and ATR calibration are tuned to metals and will not translate cleanly.What the strategy looks atTrend structure. A three-EMA stack (21 / 50 / 200) defines the bias. The fast-slow relationship decides direction, the 200 EMA acts as the regime filter — longs only above it, shorts only below.Higher-timeframe filter. On the base chart (15M/30M/1H), the strategy pulls the 4H EMA21 and EMA55 using anti-repaint references (previous closed HTF bar). A long is allowed only when the 4H trend confirms upside; shorts mirror this.MA ribbon. Eight EMAs (8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233). The ribbon is considered bullish when at least six of seven adjacent pairs are in ascending order, bearish when at least six are in descending order. Mixed ribbons block entries.Order flow. Daily-anchored VWAP with one, two, and three standard-deviation bands plus a Cumulative Volume Delta signal. Bullish order flow requires price above VWAP and either a CVD surge or strong buying pressure; bearish is the mirror.Smart money concepts. Four independent triggers, any one of which can complete the setup once the higher layers agree: order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps, and confirmed break-of-structure through the last pivot high or low. All SMC patterns reference previous closed bars only and are drawn when the bar confirms — so nothing repaints after the fact.Volatility regime. Bollinger band width and ATR percentile classify the current market into expansion, contraction, or normal. This is shown on the dashboard as context; entries still require the other layers.Risk management. ATR-based stop (default 2× ATR), take-profit (3× ATR), and an optional trailing stop (1.5× ATR). All distances are converted to integer ticks before being passed to the exit engine, which eliminates a common Pine bug where trailing stops get hit by noise.ADX and volume filters. ADX must be above 20 for the regime to qualify as trending, and the bar must show a volume spike relative to the 20-period average. Both filters use previous-bar values for consistency.How to read the signalsA green triangle below the bar means every condition for a long was met on the bar that just closed: trend up AND HTF up AND ribbon bullish AND order flow bullish AND ADX > 20 AND volume spike AND inside session AND at least one SMC triggerA red triangle above the bar is the mirror for a short. Entry is placed on the next bar open. Once in a position, the stop, target, and optional trail are drawn as lines on the chart and shown on the dashboard.The institutional dashboard in the corner (default bottom-right) shows the live state of each layer: Trend — UP, DN, or dash MTF — 4H bias Ribbon — BULL, BEAR, or MIXED OrderFlow — BUY, SELL, or dash ADX — current reading RSI — current reading VolRegime — EXP, CON, or NORM Session — whether the time filter currently allows trading Position — LONG, SHORT, or FLAT Entry / SL / TP / ATR — live values while in a tradeIf one row on the dashboard is dash or red, that layer is blocking entries on that side.No repaintingEvery anti-repaint rule is enforced: calc_on_every_tick is off and process_orders_on_close is on, so indicators calculate once per bar and orders execute on the confirmed close All higher-timeframe values are pulled with lookahead off and shifted back one HTF bar, guaranteeing only closed-HTF data is ever used VWAP and CVD accumulate only on confirmed bars Order blocks, fair value gaps, break-of-structure, and demand/supply zones reference previous closed bars, so historical drawings never shift Pivot-based structure has a built-in confirmation delay ATR-based stop, target, and trail distances are converted to integer ticks via the symbol’s mintick — this is what makes the strategy stable when Bar Magnifier is enabledFor the most honest and realistic backtest, enable Bar Magnifier. Results with Bar Magnifier on should match results with it off, within the usual intrabar SL-vs-TP race tolerance. If the two diverge significantly on your symbol, you have found a real behavior difference, not a repaint.Recommended setup Symbols — XAU/USD, XAG/USD, XPT/USD, XPD/USD Timeframes — 15M, 30M, 1H Session — default 09:00–22:00 covers the European-to-US overlap where metals trade most actively; adjust to your broker's server time if needed ATR stops — start with defaults (SL 2.0, TP 3.0, trail 1.5), then tune per symbol if your broker's spread on metals is unusually wide MTF — leave at 4H Ribbon — leave threshold at 6 of 8; lowering it produces more signals but weakens the trend filterThe strategy is intentionally selective. On metals at 1H it typically fires one to three setups per week per symbol. That is the design — quality over quantity. Always forward-test on a demo account before going live, and size positions according to your own risk rules.Lite version noticeThis is the Lite version of MASU Ultimate, published for the TradingView community.
