Strategies. Backtests. Real results.
Best Day Trading Indicators
Built and backtested for TradingView
Every indicator here started as a strategy doing the rounds on YouTube. I rebuild them properly in Pine Script, backtest them over a full year of real data, and publish the results — including the ones that fall apart. Mostly NAS100, gold and futures, with prop firm limits in mind.

Strategies
Most of the best day trading strategies doing the rounds are never actually tested by the people teaching them. So I take the ones worth a look, rebuild the rules properly in Pine Script, and run them over a year of real data before saying whether they hold up.
Each guide below covers one strategy in full: what the setup is, exactly how the entry is triggered, where the stop and target go, and the backtest result at the end — including the ones that turn out to be duds. They are written for day traders working intraday timeframes on NQ, gold and the indices, with prop firm drawdown limits in mind.

How many traders actually make money? Day trader success rates from Taiwan and Brazil, every UK broker’s CFD loss rate, options, crypto, prop firm payouts and fund managers against the index. Every figure linked to its source.
NQ · Opening range breakout
ORB Second Break Strategy
Most opening range breakouts fail once costs are in. This one waits for the first break to fail, then trades the close through the other side of the range. Why the normal ORB falls over, the exact rules, 12 years of ES and NQ data, and the 365 day NQ result.
Gold + MNQ · 4 hour candle closure
Tom Camp Strategy
One 4‑hour candle sweeps the high or low of the candle before it, then closes back through it. That reclaim sets your bias. The full method, which 4‑hour candles matter most, and the gold backtest on both timeframes.
NQ · Fair value theory
JJ Simons NQ Strategy
The pre-open price becomes fair value, which gives you a continuation trade away from the line and a reversion trade back toward it. Full rules, the displacement and BOS/MSB entry model, ATR based stops, and the 365 day result.
