Pre-Built TradingView Layouts

Three optimized chart layouts for different trading styles. Set up your chart following the instructions below, then save it as a layout in TradingView.

01

Crypto Scalp / Short-Term (1h – 4h)

Scalp trading layout

Purpose: Quick entries and exits on crypto pairs. Focused on catching bounces, traps, and momentum shifts in real time.

Main Chart (top, largest pane — ~60% of screen)

Price chart overlays

Add these indicators to the price chart:

  1. Momentum Health Check — bar colors tell you who's in control
  2. Auto Trendlines Pro — auto-draws support/resistance + labels breaks
  3. Liquidity Trap Detector — shows trap zones + marks fake breakouts
  4. Volatility Regime — background color shows calm/elevated/extreme

Settings to adjust:

  • Momentum Health: Fast MA = 9, Slow MA = 21 (default, good for 1h–4h)
  • Auto Trendlines: Pivot Strength = 3 (lower for more lines on short timeframes)
  • Liquidity Trap: Pivot Length = 3, Trap Zone Width = 0.4%
  • Volatility Regime: ATR Length = 14 (default)
Lower Pane 1 (~20% of screen)

Smart Money Tracker

Histogram showing accumulation/distribution.

Lower Pane 2 (~20% of screen)

Exhaustion Detector

Histogram + RSI/MFI lines.

Right Side Panel

Table indicators

  • Bar Analysis Report — table in Top Right position
  • Risk-On / Risk-Off Meter — table in Top Left position

How to scan for a trade

  1. Glance at background color (volatility regime) — if extreme, reduce size
  2. Check bar colors — bright green = momentum with you
  3. Look for a trap triangle near a trendline = high-probability bounce
  4. Confirm with Smart Money histogram (should be green/accumulating)
  5. Check exhaustion — is the seller move dying? Perfect.
  6. Read the Bar Analysis panel — does it agree?
  7. Execute.
02

Swing Trading (4h – Daily)

Swing trading layout

Purpose: Holding trades for days to weeks. Focused on trend direction, smart money positioning, and regime awareness.

Main Chart (top, largest pane — ~60% of screen)

Price chart overlays

  1. Momentum Health Check — Settings: Fast MA = 12, Slow MA = 26 (wider for daily)
  2. Auto Trendlines Pro — Pivot Strength = 5 (default, good for daily)
  3. Risk-On / Risk-Off Meter — background shifts green/red with sentiment
Lower Pane 1 (~20% of screen)

Smart Money Tracker

Your most important indicator on swing trades. Follow the whales.

Lower Pane 2 (~20% of screen)

Volatility Regime

Separate pane so you can see the squeeze diamonds clearly.

Right Side Panel

Bar Analysis Report

Top Right, set to show 10-bar focus.

Key differences from scalp layout

  • No Liquidity Trap (traps are less relevant on daily — you're not scalping the bounce)
  • Risk Meter on main chart (sentiment matters more on swing)
  • Wider MA settings (less noise on higher timeframes)
  • Smart Money is king — if whales are accumulating on daily, the trend is your friend
03

Long-Term / Buy & Hold Analysis (Daily – Weekly)

Long-term analysis layout

Purpose: Evaluating tokens for portfolio positions. "Should I buy this and hold it for months?" Focus on big-picture trend, smart money, and regime.

Main Chart (full screen, single pane)

Price chart overlays

  1. Momentum Health Check — Settings: Fast MA = 21, Slow MA = 50 (long-term)
  2. Auto Trendlines Pro — Pivot Strength = 8, Lookback = 200 (major levels only)
  3. Volatility Regime — background shows the big picture: calm accumulation phase or chaos?
Below the chart (tabbed — switch between them)

Lower pane tabs

  • Tab 1: Smart Money Tracker — is this token being accumulated or distributed over weeks?
  • Tab 2: Exhaustion Detector — is the long-term downtrend exhausted? Buy signal.
Right Side Panel

Bar Analysis Report

10-bar report on daily/weekly tells you the macro story.

Not needed for this layout: Liquidity Trap (too short-term for buy & hold decisions) and Risk Meter (useful but redundant with Volatility Regime on this timeframe).

How to evaluate a token

  1. Is the Volatility Regime calm? (Good — accumulation happens in calm periods)
  2. Is Smart Money accumulating? (The most important signal for long-term holds)
  3. Are the long-term MAs crossing bullish? (Trend confirmation)
  4. Is the Exhaustion Detector showing the downtrend is dying? (Bottom fishing)
  5. Is price near a major Auto Trendline support? (Good entry level)

If 4–5 of these are yes → strong buy candidate.
If 2–3 → watchlist, wait for more confirmation.
If 0–1 → skip it.
