txt
==================================================

Quick: This is a manual step-by-step template you can copy into TradingView to
recreate my recommended day-trading layout for crypto (Spot, USD pairs). Follow the
"How to apply" section at the bottom.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC LAYOUT
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Chart type: Candlesticks
- Theme: Dark Mode / Background: #0b0f14 (or TradingView "Dark")
- Timeframe: 15 minutes (primary). Use 5m for scalps, 1H to check context.
- Default symbol: BTCUSD, but use USD-quoted spot pairs (BTCUSD, ETHUSD, SOLUSD,
etc.)
- Watchlist (right sidebar): BTCUSD, ETHUSD, SOLUSD, AVAXUSD, LINKUSD, ADAUSD

----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Chart area border: enabled
- Candle up color: #26A69A (green)
- Candle down color: #EF5350 (red)
- Wick color: same as candle body (enabled)
- Show price scale/values: yes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
INDICATORS (add these via Indicators → Public Library or Built-ins)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) EMA (Built-in) — EMA 20
- Input: 20, Source: Close
- Display: Visible on price pane, Line width 2
- Color suggestion: #2196F3 (blue)

2) EMA (Built-in) — EMA 50

- Input: 50, Source: Close
- Display: Visible on price pane, Line width 2
- Color suggestion: #FF9800 (orange)

3) RSI (Built-in) — RSI(14) with momentum styling

- Input: Length 14
- Overbought line: 70 (dashed)
- Oversold line: 30 (dashed)
- Midline: 50 (solid)
- Style: Fill background between 70–100 as faint red; fill 0–30 faint green;
show value
- Suggested colors: line #BB86FC, fills semi-transparent

4) Volume (Built-in)
- Show on separate pane below price
- Plot histogram; show volume moving average (optional 20-period EMA of volume)

5) MACD (Built-in) — optional

- Fast EMA 12, Slow EMA 26, Signal 9
- Use for trend strength confirmation only
6) Public Indicator: "Trend Strength (by LuxAlgo or similar free public)"
- Search Public Library: "Trend Strength" or "Trend Meter"
- Purpose: gives a numeric/visual read on trend strength (use to avoid fading
strong moves)

7) Public Indicator: "Breakout Detector" (or "Range Breakout" - free scripts)

- Add a public breakout/notifier that highlights range breaks
- Use as an overlay to flag potential entries (still require your confirmation)

Notes:
- Only 3–5 indicators on screen at once to avoid noise. The two EMAs, RSI, and
Volume are mandatory. Add public scripts only as visual helpers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
DRAWING TOOLS (favorite these in the left toolbar)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Trend Line (draw impulse and flag poles)
- Parallel Channel (draw flags and channels)
- Horizontal Line (mark S/R levels)
- Rectangle (mark consolidation zones)
- Long/Short Position Tool (use to calculate RR and position size)
- Text/Label (record quick notes on the chart)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
COLOR & VISUAL KEY (for consistency)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- EMA20: #2196F3 (blue)
- EMA50: #FF9800 (orange)
- Bull candles: #26A69A (green)
- Bear candles: #EF5350 (red)
- RSI line: #BB86FC (purple)
- Volume: Default (histogram with neutral coloring)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ENTRY / EXIT RULES (simple day-trade rules)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Signal type: Trend continuation breakout (e.g., bullish flag)
1. Confirm trend: EMA20 > EMA50 (bullish) or EMA20 < EMA50 (bearish)
2. Wait for consolidation (flag / range) near the EMAs
3. Enter on candle close beyond consolidation high (long) with volume spike
4. Stop loss: below consolidation low or recent swing low
5. Target: initial 1.5x–2x risk. Trail stop above/below EMA20 once move is +1R.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ALERTS (examples to create)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Alert on Price Crossing Horizontal Line (resistance) — trigger on "Close"
- Alert on EMA20 crossing EMA50 — use for trend change awareness
- Alert on public Breakout Detector script (if it supports alerts)
