# NAS100 Edge Engines

**Edge engines** are separate TradingView **strategy** scripts in the Nasdaq-100 research lane. Each one turns one market idea into clear rules so you can load it on a Nasdaq-100 chart and study it in **Strategy Tester**.

They are not beginner "press go" robots. Think of them as four focused research lenses:

* **ORB** asks: did the session open create a range that can break and run?
* **ATR Breakout** asks: is volatility expanding beyond an ATR band?
* **VWAP Trend Pullback** asks: did price pull back to VWAP and resume with the trend?
* **Turn of the Month** asks: are we inside the monthly calendar window?

Primary product

**The Ultimate Nasdaq-100 Strategy** remains the main customer strategy. Edge engines are optional research builds — use them to study specific ideas, not as a replacement for your primary setup unless you deliberately choose one.

Historical simulation only

Strategy Tester output is **historical simulation** on TradingView's data model. Past metrics are not a guarantee of future performance. Slippage, spreads, fills, and broker rules can differ from a backtest. Not financial advice.

Teaching diagrams

The collage below is a **teaching diagram** of each engine's chart identity (from the Pine visual rules). It is not a live Strategy Tester screenshot. Live captures stay separate until the scripts are published.

Four edge identities at a glance — teaching diagrams, not live Strategy Tester charts.

## How to use these pages[​](#how-to-use-these-pages "Direct link to How to use these pages")

1. Pick an engine that matches the **timeframe you intend to research**.
2. Add it to a **Nasdaq-100** symbol (US100, NAS100, NDX, QQQ, or your broker's NQ mapping).
3. Start on the design timeframe before changing inputs.
4. Open **Strategy Tester** and confirm the chart overlays match the engine's page.
5. Add honest commission and slippage before treating any result as useful.
6. Compare against [The Ultimate Nasdaq-100 Strategy](/indicators/nasdaq-strategy/docs/tradingview.md) if you need the primary customer product path.

## Beginner guardrails[​](#beginner-guardrails "Direct link to Beginner guardrails")

* Keep each engine separate. Do not stack all four and try to trade every marker.
* Do not compare ORB on a 5-minute chart with Turn-of-Month on an hourly chart; their design timeframes are different.
* A high Profit Factor on a tiny sample is not enough. Check trade count, costs, drawdown, and whether the timeframe is correct.
* These pages explain what the scripts do. They do not claim that any engine is profitable live.
