Description
DTO-Recreation combines an adaptive EMA/ATR trend trail with multi-timeframe confirmation, StochRSI-validated re-entries, and configurable stop-loss/take-profit handling in a single strategy framework. It is built for traders who want a trend-following core that filters out counter-trend noise using higher-timeframe agreement, rather than trading every flip on the chart's own timeframe in isolation.FEATURESAdaptive Trend TrailThe core trail is a Supertrend-style flip mechanism built on an EMA basis (rather than hl2) with ATR-based bands. Five sensitivity presets — Reactive, Filtered, Balanced, Structured, Macro — scale the EMA length, ATR length, and ATR multiplier together, from fast scalping flips to slow macro-trend confirmation.Multi-Timeframe ConfirmationThe same trail logic runs independently on the chart timeframe (CTF), a higher timeframe (HTF), and an optional higher-higher timeframe (HHTF) via request.security. Entries can be required to align with HTF and/or HHTF direction, which is what separates this from a plain single-timeframe flip system — it exists specifically to cut low-quality trades taken against the larger trend.Dynamic Zones and Equilibrium BandEach timeframe's ATR bands are plotted as a filled zone (blue for bullish structure, red for bearish), giving a visual read on trend strength and alignment across timeframes at a glance. An equilibrium band — the midpoint between the CTF and HTF EMA basis — marks a mean-reversion reference level.Trend Flip and Re-Entry SignalsA confirmed CTF trend flip plots a flip marker and can trigger an entry. Re-entries on pullbacks into the CTF zone are validated by a StochRSI cross out of oversold/overbought, gated by a per-direction cooldown counter, and blocked if price has already tagged the HTF zone since the last flip (treated as a sign of possible exhaustion rather than a healthy pullback).Risk ManagementStop-loss can be a fixed percentage or the current structure level (the trail itself); take-profit can be a fixed percentage or an ATR-based trailing exit. Pyramided (second) entries in the same direction are only permitted when the existing position is already profitable, so averaging into a loser is not possible.BEST FOR- Trend traders who want higher-timeframe agreement enforced before an entry is taken- Traders who want visual, at-a-glance confirmation of trend alignment across timeframes rather than reading multiple separate indicators- Anyone using pullback re-entries who wants those re-entries filtered by momentum (StochRSI) and protected from firing during choppy, cooldown periodsNOTESThis is an original script, independently written and open-source. It was built to explore the same general category of tool as other multi-timeframe trend-overlay strategies on TradingView, not copied or reverse-engineered from any closed-source script. All inputs (sensitivity, timeframes, alignment toggles, SL/TP mode, re-entry settings) are user-configurable in the Settings panel.Backtest results shown on any chart depend heavily on symbol, timeframe, and settings — they are historical performance, not a forecast, and should not be treated as investment advice.
