BEST Trailing Take Profit StrategyHello traders Hope you enjoyed your weekend on my behalf. Was staying home working ... ^^ This is my first strategy educational post I'm doing ever While I'm generally against posting strategies because it's very easy to fake performance numbers... I cannot prevent myself from sharing a few cool strategy snippets anyway. So from now on, I'll be sharing a few strategies also - generally not to showcase performance but only to show what pinescript can do. As once again strategy performance can be faked is so many ways... :) What's on the menu? We all know what a trailing-stop is. right? right? Ok... sharing the definition here :) A trailing stop is designed to protect gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor. The order closes the trade if the price changes direction by a specified percentage or dollar amount. But...do you know what a trailing profit is? Short definition : Well the same but with your profit limit order. Long definition : A trailing profit is designed to increase your gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor. The order closes the trade if the price hits the trailing profit level specified percentage or dollar amount. Some trading strategies used both a trailing stop AND trailing profit. Not making any recommendation here - only sharing what's possible in the realm of trading and pinescripting Trigger me I'm famous I developed many trading strategies in my career and often I've been asked to trigger a trailing-stop or trailing-profit once a certain % move has been made. I integrated here a Take Profit trigger - once hit, it will activate the trailing profit On the screenshot below, the TP trigger is plotted in orange. Once the price goes past that level for the first time, I'll start trailing the profit level. In other words, when we see a price makes an interesting move in percentage value - we decide to offset the profit as we concluded that once it reached such distance - then it leads often to more profit Of course, using only a trailing profit without stop/trailing-stop/invalidation isn't smart and the surest way to kiss goodbye a trading capital and trading and your good mood See you tomorrow for another strategy snippet All the BEST Dave

EVWBB Strategy [QuantNomad]It's my new strategy using EVWMA (Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average). Now I created a Bollinger Bands strategy where basis level is EVWMA. It looks pretty interesting but you have to be careful with the entries/exits on the same bar, I'm using stop orders, so on big moves it happens pretty often. In the next version, I will try to eliminate these issues. Entry for this strategy happens when price crossover upper for long and lower for short. I exit both short and long on basis level.

STEM_MATCS_BTC_STRATEGYAs promised here is the strategy for using STEM and MATCS. The line of code for the buy and sell signals are bare bones. You will even notice that the ATR_CS is not being included in the logic for the buy/sell signals, which causes the ATR fine tuning not to function. I am presenting the code in this way because I want to encourage people to explore their own ideas, choose the asset they want to trade and put their own personal touch to the buy/sell signal logic. This is where the magic happens and this is where you can learn how to code if you have not done so in your life.. because I guarantee if you have an idea I am sure there is some way you can massage that idea into the code. Good luck and have fun, that's what is most important. If you are not having fun please do not trade, find a reputable financial advisory and protect your capital. **** 1. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose 2. Never take a trade that is risking more than 10% of your account.

MACD Multi-MA StrategyThis script applies the average of each major MA (SMA, RMA, EMA, WVMA, WMA) to the MACD formula. The logic is simple. When all 5 MA's are in agreement in direction, then then script will notify users of change. I posted this as a strategy to help show how logic does in back test. If you use my simple yet effective solution to find take profit locations, you can blow this back testing out of the water!!! To set alerts simply turn script into study //@version=2 study(title="MACD Multi-MA Study", overlay=false) src = close len1 = input(8, "FAST LOOKBACK") len2 = input(144, "SLOW LOOKBACK") ///////////////////////////////////////////// length = len2-len1 ma = vwma(src, length) plot(ma, title="VWMA", color=lime) length1 = len2-len1 ma1 = rma(src, length1) plot(ma1, title="RMA", color=purple) length2 = len2-len1 ma2 = sma(src, length2) plot(ma2, title="SMA", color=red) length3 = len2-len1 ma3 = wma(src, length3) plot(ma3, title="WMA", color=orange) length4 = len2-len1 ma4 = ema(src, length4) plot(ma4, title="EMA", color=yellow) long = ma > ma and ma1 > ma1 and ma2 > ma2 and ma3 > ma3 and ma4 > ma4 short = ma < ma and ma1 < ma1 and ma2 < ma2 and ma3 < ma3 and ma4 < ma4 alertcondition(long == true, title='MACD LONG SIGNAL', message='MACD LONG!') alertcondition(short == true, title='MACD SHORT SIGNAL', message='MACD SHORT!')

SMA_Cross + RSI1. long a. RSI does not open an order when it is overbought, until the RSI falls below a certain threshold, and then open a position b. There are already many positions. If the RSI is overbought, it will be profitable. When the RSI falls below a certain threshold, open a long position again until the moving average crossover signal turns short. 2. Short a. RSI does not open an order when it is oversold, and then opens a position after RSI rises to a certain threshold b. There are already short positions. If the RSI is oversold, it will be profitable to close the short position. When the RSI rises above a certain threshold, open the short position again until there is a reversal of the moving average crossing signal. 1. 做多 a. RSI在超买区间时不开单，直到RSI回落到某个阈值之下，再开仓 b. 已经有多仓，如果RSI超买，则平多获利，当RSI回落到某个阈值之下后，再次开多，直到有均线交叉信号反转做空 2. 做空 a. RSI在超卖区间时不开单，直到RSI上升到某个阈值之后，再开仓 b. 已经有空仓，如果RSI超卖，则平空获利，当RSI上升到某个阈值之上后，再次开空，直到有均线交叉信号反转做多

Backtesting on Non-Standard Charts: Caution! - PineCoders FAQMuch confusion exists in the TradingView community about backtesting on non-standard charts. This script tries to shed some light on the subject in the hope that traders make better use of those chart types. Non-standard charts are: Heikin Ashi (HA) Renko Kagi Point & Figure Range These chart types are called non-standard because they all transform market prices into synthetic views of price action. Some focus on price movement and disregard time. Others like HA use the same division of bars into fixed time intervals but calculate artificial open, high, low and close (OHLC) values. Non-standard chart types can provide traders with alternative ways of interpreting price action, but they are not designed to test strategies or run automated traded systems where results depend on the ability to enter and exit trades at precise price levels at specific times, whether orders are issued manually or algorithmically. Ironically, the same characteristics that make non-standard chart types interesting from an analytical point of view also make them ill-suited to trade execution. Why? Because of the dislocation that a synthetic view of price action creates between its non-standard chart prices and real market prices at any given point in time. Switching from a non-standard chart price point into the market always entails a translation of time/price dimensions that results in uncertainty—and uncertainty concerning the level or the time at which orders are executed is detrimental to all strategies. The delta between the chart’s price when an order is issued (which is assumed to be the expected price) and the price at which that order is filled is called slippage . When working from normal chart types, slippage can be caused by one or more of the following conditions: • Time delay between order submission and execution. During this delay the market may move normally or be subject to large orders from other traders that will cause large moves of the bid/ask levels. • Lack of bids for a market sell or lack of asks for a market buy at the current price level. • Spread taken by middlemen in the order execution process. • Any other event that changes the expected fill price. When a market order is submitted, matching engines attempt to fill at the best possible price at the exchange. TradingView strategies usually fill market orders at the opening price of the next candle. A non-standard chart type can produce misleading results because the open of the next candle may or may not correspond to the real market price at that time. This creates artificial and often beneficial slippage that would not exist on standard charts. Consider an HA chart. The open for each candle is the average of the previous HA bar’s open and close prices. The open of the HA candle is a synthetic value, but the real market open at the time the new HA candle begins on the chart is the unrelated, regular open at the chart interval. The HA open will often be lower on long entries and higher on short entries, resulting in unrealistically advantageous fills. Another example is a Renko chart. A Renko chart is a type of chart that only measures price movement. The purpose of a Renko chart is to cluster price action into regular intervals, which consequently removes the time element. Because Trading View does not provide tick data as a price source, it relies on chart interval close values to construct Renko bricks. As a consequence, a new brick is constructed only when the interval close penetrates one or more brick thresholds. When a new brick starts on the chart, it is because the previous interval’s close was above or below the next brick threshold. The open price of the next brick will likely not represent the current price at the time this new brick begins, so correctly simulating an order is impossible. Some traders have argued with us that backtesting and trading off HA charts and other non-standard charts is useful, and so we have written this script to show traders what happens when order fills from backtesting on non-standard charts are compared to real-world fills at market prices. Let’s review how TV backtesting works. TV backtesting uses a broker emulator to execute orders. When an order is executed by the broker emulator on historical bars, the price used for the fill is either the close of the order’s submission bar or, more often, the open of the next. The broker emulator only has access to the chart’s prices, and so it uses those prices to fill orders. When backtesting is run on a non-standard chart type, orders are filled at non-standard prices, and so backtesting results are non-standard—i.e., as unrealistic as the prices appearing on non-standard charts. This is not a bug; where else is the broker emulator going to fetch prices than from the chart? This script is a strategy that you can run on either standard or non-standard chart types. It is meant to help traders understand the differences between backtests run on both types of charts. For every backtest, a label at the end of the chart shows two global net profit results for the strategy: • The net profits (in currency) calculated by TV backtesting with orders filled at the chart’s prices. • The net profits (in currency) calculated from the same orders, but filled at market prices (fetched through security() calls from the underlying real market prices) instead of the chart’s prices. If you run the script on a non-standard chart, the top result in the label will be the result you would normally get from the TV backtesting results window. The bottom result will show you a more realistic result because it is calculated from real market fills. If you run the script on a normal chart type (bars, candles, hollow candles, line, area or baseline) you will see the same result for both net profit numbers since both are run on the same real market prices. You will sometimes see slight discrepancies due to occasional differences between chart prices and the corresponding information fetched through security() calls. Features • Results shown in the Data Window (third icon from the top right of your chart) are: — Cumulative results — For each order execution bar on the chart, the chart and market previous and current fills, and the trade results calculated from both chart and market fills. • You can choose between 2 different strategies, both elementary. • You can use HA prices for the calculations determining entry/exit conditions. You can use this to see how a strategy calculated from HA values can run on a normal chart. You will notice that such strategies will not produce the same results as the real market results generated from HA charts. This is due to the different environment backtesting is running on where for example, position sizes for entries on the same bar will be calculated differently because HA and standard chart close prices differ. • You can choose repainting/non-repainting signals. • You can show MAs, entry/exit markers and market fill levels. • You can show candles built from the underlying market prices. • You can color the background for occurrences where an order is filled at a different real market price than the chart’s price. Notes • On some non-standard chart types you will not obtain any results. This is sometimes due to how certain types of non-standard types work, and sometimes because the script will not emit orders if no underlying market information is detected. • The script illustrates how those who want to use HA values to calculate conditions can do so from a standard chart. They will then be getting orders emitted on HA conditions but filled at more realistic prices because their strategy can run on a standard chart. • On some non-standard chart types you will see market results surpass chart results. While this may seem interesting, our way of looking at it is that it points to how unreliable non-standard chart backtesting is, and why it should be avoided. • In order not to extend an already long description, we do not discuss the particulars of executing orders on the realtime bar when using non-standard charts. Unless you understand the minute details of what’s going on in the realtime bar on a particular non-standard chart type, we recommend staying away from this. • Some traders ask us: Why does TradingView allow backtesting on non-standard chart types if it produces unrealistic results? That’s somewhat like asking a hammer manufacturer why it makes hammers if hammers can hurt you. We believe it’s a trader’s responsibility to understand the tools he is using. Takeaways • Non-standard charts are not bad per se, but they can be badly used. • TV backtesting on non-standard charts is not broken and doesn’t require fixing. Traders asking for a fix are in dire need of learning more about trading. We recommend they stop trading until they understand why. • Stay away from—even better, report—any vendor presenting you with strategies running on non-standard charts and implying they are showing reliable results. • If you don’t understand everything we discussed, don’t use non-standard charts at all. • Study carefully how non-standard charts are built and the inevitable compromises used in calculating them so you can understand their limitations. Thanks to @allanster and @mortdiggiddy for their help in editing this description. Look first. Then leap.

Kirk65 UTBot Strategy FixedCredits to @HPotter for the orginal code. Credits to @Yo_adriiiiaan for recently publishing the UT Bot study based on the original code. Credits to @TradersAITradingPlans for making UT Bot strategy. Strategy fixed with time period by Kirk65. UT Bot works great with 2 hour time frame with Heikin Ashi, but riskier. Use "Once per bar" In alerts with 1.5% stoploss. If the price goes against Alerts, stoploss will save your assets. Wait until next Alert. 4 hour time frame is less risky and less profitable. Happy trading.. Kirk65

NoNonsense Forex - high timeframe trading absurd NON-REPAINTINGSome time ago I bumped into NoNonsense Forex - pretty good-looking course with well-designed videos, reasonable rules, etc. Nice explanatory videos, not selling anything, building indicators-only strategy. But there was one thing that really annoyed me - it was supposed to work only on Daily timeframe. What is the point in trading such high timeframe, if decisions changing market direction are playing out within 1 minute? What is the point in evaluating trades from 1994 if we are 25 years later? Anyway, I have developed this strategy, which is: - non-repainting - not using trailing-stop - not using any other known TradingView backtest bugs And I'm showing it as an example of OVERFITTING. Backtesting results look absurd: 100% profitable. But if you change any of the many parameters in the Settings popup, they will turn into disaster. It means, the rules of this strategy are very fragile. Don't trade this! Remember about backtesting rule #1: past results do not guarantee success in the future. I'm giving this strategy out with the source code. Feel free to do anything you want with it. But if you find parameters or modifications on, which allow profitable trading on lower timeframes, don't be shy, let me know :) ********* Forex / Indices / Commodities traders who want to start AUTO-TRADING might want to take a look at "TradingConnector", which allows no-latency trades execution from TradingView to MT4/MT5.
