GK XAUUSD Sniper Adaptive

The GK XAUUSD Sniper Adaptive indicator provides a specialized trend-following and momentum-based system designed specifically for gold trading to identify high-precision entries.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on identifying directional setups while filtering out low-quality market conditions. The indicator is engineered for the XAUUSD pair, with the 15-minute timeframe being the most recommended for a balance between signal frequency and trend clarity.

• Entry Signals: The indicator prints "GK BUY" for bullish setups and "GK SELL" for bearish setups. These signals are confirmed once the bar closes to prevent repainting.
• Preparation Phase: "PREPARE" circles appear when conditions are beginning to align, serving as an early warning for potential upcoming trades.
• Take Profit (TP): Labels appear on the chart when the price moves by a user-defined pip amount (default 11.0) from the entry price.
• Weekly HUD: An on-screen dashboard tracks performance metrics, including total signals, successful TP hits, and a percentage-based TP score for the current week.

Details

The script utilizes a multi-layered logic system to validate price action:

• Adaptive ZLEMA: A Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average defines the core trend direction with minimal delay.
• EMA Bias Filter: A long-term EMA (default 200) ensures trades are taken in the direction of the macro trend.
• Momentum & Candle Strength: Signals require validation through candle body size relative to ATR and specific close-to-range ratios to ensure the move has sufficient strength.
• Market Structure: The system looks for breaks of recent highs or lows within a lookback window to confirm structural shifts.
• Anti-Chop Logic: A volatility filter prevents signals during sideways or low-volume periods by analyzing the price range relative to the ATR.
• One Print Per Trend: To prevent overtrading, the script is restricted to issuing only one confirmed signal per trend cycle until a reversal or reset occurs.
