This strategy was decoded from a public trading video but did not clear Strategy Decoder's codifiability bar: the extraction could not pin the rules down precisely enough to be turned into a reviewable specification. It is kept here as a reference post-mortem rather than as a strategy you can trade or backtest.

Why this strategy was archived

A "buy/sell indicator" is the broad family of TradingView overlays that collapse a set of conditions into explicit on-chart signals — arrows or labels marking where the tool considers a long or short setup valid. The appeal is obvious: the logic sits inside the script, so the trader reads a signal rather than a condition. This entry covers Trading with DaviddTech's "Trader Review: 93% WIN RATE Insane Buy Sell Indicator On Tradingview!", a review-format walkthrough of one such signal tool applied to live charts.

**Why this entry is archived.** Our extraction scored this video below the codifiability bar. It identified the signal indicator as the core of the setup, but recovered no complete operating rule set around it: no objective confirmation criteria for taking a printed signal, no stop or target logic, and no specified timeframe or market. Review-format content on packaged indicators is structurally hard to decode — the conditions live inside a closed script, so what reaches the viewer is the output rather than the logic, and the surrounding discretion is demonstrated instead of stated. Headline performance figures are also not something we carry into the catalog: we record rules, and a rule set is what makes any such figure testable in the first place. An entry we cannot code faithfully does not belong in the active catalog.

**What it still offers.** The review format has real diligence value. Watching a trader put a signal tool in front of price and talk through where it fires, where it hesitates, and what the chart looked like around each print is more informative than a static screenshot of winners — and it is the kind of scrutiny most indicator marketing avoids. Treat it as evaluation material for a tool you are considering, not as a strategy specification. If you want indicator-based setups with entry, exit and risk logic fully extracted, the Technical Indicators concept hub and the active catalog list the decoded entries.

Frequently asked questions

Why is this Buy Sell Indicator entry archived?

Our extraction identified the indicator at the center of the setup but found no complete, automatable rule set around it — no objective signal-confirmation criteria, no stop or target logic, and no defined timeframe or market. That scored below the codifiability bar we require for the active catalog.

What is a buy/sell indicator on TradingView?

It is an overlay that bundles a set of conditions into explicit long and short signals printed directly on the chart, usually as arrows or labels. The underlying conditions are defined inside the script, so the trader sees the output rather than the logic.

Does Strategy Decoder verify the win rate mentioned in the video title?

No. We do not reproduce or endorse performance figures stated in source videos. The catalog documents extracted rule sets, and where the rules are incomplete there is nothing we could backtest to check such a figure — so the entry is archived rather than published with numbers we cannot test.

Where can I find codifiable indicator strategies on Strategy Decoder?

The Technical Indicators concept hub and the active catalog list entries where full entry, exit and risk rules were successfully extracted and can be coded or backtested.
