Volatility Capture RSI-Bollinger - Strategy [presentTrading]- Introduction and how it is different
The 'Volatility Capture RSI-Bollinger - Strategy ' is a trading strategy that combines the concepts of Bollinger Bands (BB), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Simple Moving Average (SMA) to generate trading signals. The uniqueness of this strategy is it calculates which is a dynamic level between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands based on the closing price. This unique feature allows the strategy to adapt to market volatility and price movements.
The market in Crypto and Stock are highly volatile, making them suitable for a strategy that uses Bollinger Bands. The RSI can help identify overbought or oversold conditions in this often speculative market.

Remember, the effectiveness of a trading strategy also depends on other factors such as the timeframe used, the specific settings of the indicators, and the overall market conditions. It's always recommended to backtest and paper trade a strategy before using it in live trading.
- Strategy, How it Works
Dynamic Bollinger Band: The strategy works by first calculating the upper and lower Bollinger Bands based on the user-defined length and multiplier. It then uses the Bollinger Bands and the closing price to dynamically adjust the presentBollingBand value. In the end, it generates a long signal when the price crosses over the present Bolling Band and a short signal when the price crosses under the present Bolling Band.
RSI: If the user has chosen to use RSI for signals, the strategy also calculates the RSI and its SMA, and uses these to generate additional long and short signals. The RSI-based signals are only used if the 'Use RSI for signals' option is set to true.
The strategy then checks the chosen trading direction and enters a long or short position accordingly. If the trading direction is set to 'Both', the strategy can enter both long and short positions.
Finally, the strategy exits a position when the close price crosses under the present Bolling Band for a long position, or crosses over the present Bolling Band for a short position.
- Trade direction
The strategy also includes a trade direction parameter, allowing the user to choose whether to enter long trades, short trades, or both. This makes the strategy adaptable to different market conditions and trading styles.
- Usage
1. Set the input parameters as per your trading preferences. You can choose the price source, the length of the moving average, the multiplier for the ATR, whether to use RSI for signals, the RSI and SMA periods, the bought and sold range levels, and the trading direction.
2. The strategy will then generate buy and sell signals based on these parameters. You can use these signals to enter and exit trades.
- Default settings
1. Source: hlc3
2. Length: 50
3. Multiplier: 2.7183
4. Use RSI for signals: True
5. RSI Period: 10
6. SMA Period: 5
7. Bought Range Level: 55
8. Sold Range Level: 50
9. Trade Direction: Both
- Strategy's default Properties
1. Default Quantity Type: 'strategy.percent_of_equity'
2. commission_value= 0.1, commission_type=strategy.commission.percent, slippage= 1: These parameters set the commission and slippage for the strategy. The commission is set to 0.1% of the trade value, and the slippage (the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed) is set to 1.
3. default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity, default_qty_value = 15: These parameters set the default quantity for trades. The default_qty_type is set to strategy.percent_of_equity, which means that the size of each trade will be a percentage of the account equity. The default_qty_value is set to 15, which means that each trade will be 15% of the account equity.
4. initial_capital= 10000: This parameter sets the initial capital for the strategy to $10,000.

Easy Trade Pro [Buy and Sell Strategy + Backtesting System]Hello Traders,
Easy Trade Pro is a comprehensive tool that combines multiple technical indicators into a single customizable one. This tool is the culmination of an extensive trading career, it is designed to help traders navigate the markets in any timeframe and financial asset, like Equities, Futures, Crypto, Forex and Commodities.
Before we deep dive into the comprehensive guide on what Easy Trade Pro is, let's kick off by showcasing the strategy used in this example. Please note, we have adopted an extremely conservative approach strictly following the Tradingview House Rules, which you can review here: www.tradingview.com
The backtest strategy parameters:
Currency pair: EUR USD
Timeframe: 15-min chart
Market: Spot, no leverage
Broker: FXCM
Trading range: 2022-09-01 07:30 — 2023-06-26 20:00
Backtesting range: 2022-08-31 23:00 — 2023-06-26 20:00
Initial Capital: $10,000
Buy Order Size: 20% of the capital, $2,000
Stop Loss: 0.50%
Sell orders: Four different take profits where we unload the position by 25% each time
Broker Fees: Commission set at 0.08$
Slippage: 10 ticks
Understanding FXCM Commissions and Setting Realistic Slippage for EUR/USD Spot Trading:
◉I would like to provide some clarity on the commission structure and slippage setting used in the study for trading the EUR/USD pair on the FXCM spot market. Based on the information available, FXCM charges a commission of $4.00 per standard lot (100,000) on both sides of the trade (meaning at open and close) for the EUR/USD pair. Since the study involve an order size of $2,000 USD, which is equivalent to 0.02 lots, the commission fee for one side of the trade (either buying or selling) would be calculated as $4.00 multiplied by 0.02, which is $0.08. This means that for each individual trade, whether it be a buy or sell, the commission fee would be $0.08.
◉As for slippage, it is crucial to account for the inherent uncertainty in the execution price due to market fluctuations. In the forex market, the EUR/USD pair is quoted with a precision of five decimal places, with the smallest price change being a "pipette" (0.00001). Given that slippage can vary based on market conditions, it is considered fair practice to use a slippage of around 10 ticks under normal market conditions for the EUR/USD pair. This allows for a more realistic representation of the execution price, especially in a liquid and fast-moving market such as forex.

Enter a Trade conditions:
For our buy order, we utilize a custom buy signal called 'Bullish Reversal'. A detailed explanation of this and other buy orders can be found later in the guide, specifically in section 1).
To enhance realism in our trading strategy, we have implemented a confirmation mechanism. When utilizing the strategy tester, you have the option to input a value to determine the number of confirmation candles to consider.
For example, if you set the input to 1, the system will check if the next candle following the signal meets the criteria for confirmation. If set to 2, the system will evaluate the second candle, and so on for higher values. The confirmation is determined by comparing the closing or opening price of the selected buy signal candle with the corresponding closing price of the confirmation candle.
In this case we choose as buy signal: 'Bullish Reversal' + 2 candle of confirmation
Exit a trade conditions:
On the sell side, we exit a trade in four different types of sell orders where we take profits. Inside '', you will encounter unique labels attributed to our custom sell signals. A detailed explanation of these sell orders can be found later in the guide, specifically in section 1). We used custom order called:
1TP 'Good Sell'
2TP 'Good Sell'
3TP 'Good Sell'
4TP 'Bearish Reversal' + 4 confirmation candles
Our confirmation logic, for sell signals, is applied only to 'Bearish Reversal' signal. The confirmation is determined by comparing the closing or opening price of the selected 'Bearish Reversal' candle with the corresponding closing price of the confirmation candle. In this case, we wait for the fourth candle from the 'Bearish Reversal' signal to confirm the sell trade.
Protect your capital:
This super-conservative study involves a clear low risk, with the use of $2,000, 20% of our capital. If the stop loss of 0.5% were triggered, we lose 10$, equating to 0.10% of $10,000 - thus affecting only 0.10% of our capital.
Super Conservative Approach & Results:
With 353 closed trades, we achieved a net profit of 2.03%, or $203.34$ relative to our initial $10,000 capital, and a win rate of 73.37%.
Less Conservative Approach & Results:
We could also consider increasing our risk to 0.5% of our capital per trade. We would maintain our stop loss at 0.50%, but we would need to use all our capital to enter the market. If the stop loss of 0.5% will be triggered, we would lose 50$, equating to 0.5% of $10,000.
In this scenario, our net profit would have increased to 10.15%, equivalent to $1015.
Please be aware:
While fully automated strategies can bring considerable advantages, they are not without their cons. For one, relying solely on an automated system may not take into account the potential confluence of other strategies or indicators, such as the significance of support and resistance zones. These elements often require a more nuanced, human understanding of the markets and cannot always be perfectly replicated by an algorithm.
Additionally, it's essential to remember that a significant percentage of traders are not consistently profitable. As such, prudent risk management, a conservative approach, and acceptance of a reasonable profit are crucial aspects of successful trading. While the allure of high returns can be tempting, the sustainability of your trading strategy should always take precedence. Achieving steady, reliable profits over time often outweighs the appeal of a risky, high-return strategy that could potentially lead to substantial losses.
So, while automation can be a powerful tool in your trading arsenal, it's also important to consider other strategies and factors. Always ensure you're managing your risk effectively and approaching trading with a realistic and informed perspective.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why Easy Trade Pro is Original? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We developed Easy Trade Pro as a unique and comprehensive solution, and we decided to protect our code to preserve its originality. We invested significant time and effort into making it a realistic trading strategy simulator. The standout features that set Easy Trade Pro apart include:
☀ Versatile Stop Loss Mechanisms: Stop loss execution can be complex and often requires careful coding to work as intended. In most freely available open-source codes, stop losses are implemented using the Average True Range (ATR). ATR can be beneficial but has limitations:
☁ Lagging Indicator - Like most technical indicators, the ATR is a lagging indicator. This means it is based on past data, and so it may not accurately reflect future market volatility. If market conditions change rapidly, the ATR may not adjust quickly enough, potentially leading to suboptimal stop loss levels.
☁ No Directional Information - The ATR measures volatility, but it does not provide any indication of the direction of the trend. Therefore, it should not be used as a standalone tool for making trading decisions, but should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools that can provide directional cues.
☁ Inefficiency in Trending Markets - In strongly trending markets, ATR-based stops can sometimes be too far from the current price level. This could lead to larger losses if the price moves against your trade before hitting the stop loss. On the flip side, in less volatile, sideways markets, an ATR-based stop might be set too close to the entry point, leading to premature stop outs.
☁ Overoptimization Risk - If you're backtesting a trading strategy, there's a risk of overoptimizing your stop loss settings by fine-tuning them to past data. The best ATR multiplier that worked in the past might not necessarily work in the future, leading to potential performance issues.
☀ We countered these by implementing four different types of 'protect the trade' mechanisms:
✔ Fixed Percentage Stop Loss
✔ Trailing Stop Loss
✔ Stop Loss Moved to Entry Upon Reaching Certain Gain
✔ Stop Loss Moved to Entry Upon Reaching First Take Profit Order ("Custom Order").
☀ Dual Exit Strategy: We incorporated two distinct methods of exiting a trade. The first uses our custom signals, while the second triggers exit at a certain percentage of gain.
☀ Multiple Take Profit Orders: You have the flexibility to establish up to four different sell orders. This feature enables you to fractionate your exit strategy according to your needs. You can choose to trigger these fractions based on our custom signals or determine your own exit points by setting targeted gains at a fixed percentage.
☀ Confirmation Candle System: This feature enhances trade precision by requiring confirmation candles after a buy or sell signal. This confirmation, dependent on the next candle's closing price, helps reduce false signals and improves entry and exit points. While our confirmation system is applicable to all custom buy signals, it's solely dedicated for the bearish reversal when it comes to sell signals.
☀ Universal Compatibility: Easy Trade Pro's Strategy Tester works perfectly with any asset class. The code can handle different contract types, including the SPX contracts and fractional assets like Bitcoin. It's optimized to ensure proper execution of trades without rounding issues.
☀ Bullish and Bearish Reversal candles: Our method of detecting these pivotal candles combines conditions from buy and sell signals with pertinent divergences in Price, RSI, and Volume (OBV). The distinguishing factor, however, lies in recognizing significant shifts in market structure and liquidity grabs. To further enhance the credibility of our indicator, we've incorporated Bollinger Bands, serving as an additional layer in spotting potential trend reversals, particularly when aligned with long-wick candlesticks, engulfing patterns, and morning or evening star formations.
☀ Non-Repainting Indicator: Our indicator signals are designed not to repaint. Once a signal appears, it stays fixed, offering a reliable tool for your trading decisions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) BUY AND SELL SIGNALS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our buy and sell signals are generated using a custom combination of RSI, MFI, and Stochastic RSI levels, as well as relevant MACD and Stochastic RSI crosses. These indicators are carefully analyzed to identify potential trading opportunities and determine optimal entry and exit points for trades.
RSI (Relative strength index) measures the strength of a security's price action, while the SRSI (Stochastic Relative Strength Index) is a momentum oscillator that measures the current price relative to its high and low range over a set period. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is another momentum indicator that uses both price and volume data to measure buying and selling pressure. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular technical indicator used in financial markets to analyze price trends and momentum.
▶ With our system, you'll be able to identify three different levels of buy signals:
◉ The first level of buy signal is represented by a 🐂 emoji and is a "Good Buy". This signal indicates a possible buying opportunity. It indicates that could be a good opportunity to enter in a long trade. It's important to note that, the "Good Buy" signal can sometimes be supplemented with a green "Bull" text and a flag plotshape positioned beneath the signal. In these scenarios, we categorize this as a "Good Buy Bull" signal.
◉ The second level of buy signal is represented by a 💰 emoji and is a "Great Buy". This signal indicates a stronger buying opportunity than the "Good Buy" signal.
◉ The third and strongest buy signal is represented by a 💎 emoji and is an "Incredible Buy". This signal indicates a stronger buying opportunity than the "Good Buy" and "Great Buy" signals
▶ With our system, you'll be able to identify three different levels of sell signals:
◉ On the sell side, the first level is represented by a 🐻 emoji and is a "Good Sell". This signal indicates a possible selling opportunity. It indicates that could be a good opportunity to exit a trade or open a short position. It's important to note that, the "Good Sell" signal can occasionally be accompanied by a red "Bear" text and a flag plotshape positioned beneath the signal. In such instances, we refer to this as a "Good Sell Bear" signal.
◉ The second sell signal is represented by a 🔨 emoji and is a "Great Sell". This signal indicates a stronger selling opportunity than the "Good Sell" signal.
◉ The third and strongest sell signal is represented by a 💀 emoji and is an "Incredible Sell". This signal indicates a stronger selling opportunity than the "Good Sell" and "Great Sell" signals.
------------------------------------------2) "BULLISH AND BEARISH REVERSAL CANDLES PLUS SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE LINES" ------------------------------------------------
Bullish and bearish reversal candles are specific candles that have more probability to reverse the trend.
Our trading indicator is designed to identify bullish and bearish reversal candles. Our method of detecting these pivotal candles combines conditions from buy and sell signals with pertinent divergences in Price, RSI, and Volume (OBV). The distinguishing factor, however, lies in recognizing significant shifts in market structure and liquidity grabs. To further enhance the credibility of our indicator, we've incorporated Bollinger Bands, serving as an additional layer in spotting potential trend reversals, particularly when aligned with long-wick candlesticks, engulfing patterns, and morning or evening star formations.
These candles are represented by blue and orange colors respectively by default. Additionally, the indicator also uses lines that are drawn at either the opening or closing of candles to help identify pivot points of support or resistance. These candles, lines color or shape are customizable in the settings menu.
How can I benefit the most from bullish reversal candles? To make the most of bullish reversal candles, a powerful strategy is:
E.g, 1D chart - Wait for the next 1 or 2 candles to close above the support line linked to the bullish reversal candle. For lower timeframes, it is recommended to wait for 2 or 3 candles before making a trading decision. A good tip is also to look for other signals (confluence), like a buy signal. Traders should decide based on their risk tolerance.
Here below we can see an example of a bullish reversal candle in the BTC/USDT, 1D, chart. The system identify a bullish reversal candle (blue color), the next 2 candles are green and closed above the support blue line, in addition we have other bullish signals (confluence).
How can I benefit the most from bullish reversal lines? Bullish reversal lines can help traders to identify key level of support and maintain control of their position until a clear break below occurs.
In the example below we se how the price retrace to the support line:
After touching the price bounce up.
How can I benefit the most from bearish reversal candles? To make the most of bearish reversal candles, a powerful strategy is:
E.g, 1D chart - Wait for the next 1 or 2 candles to close below the resistance line linked to the bearish reversal candle. For lower timeframes, it is recommended to wait for 2 or 3 candles before making a trading decision. Traders should decide based on their risk tolerance.
Here below we can see an example of a bearish reversal candle in the ETH/USDT, 1D, chart. The system identify a bearish reversal candle (orange color), the next candle is red and closes below the resistance orange line. A good tip is also to look for other signals (confluence), like a sell signal.
How can I benefit the most from bearish reversal lines? Bearish reversal lines can help traders to identify key level of resistance and maintain control of their position until a clear break above occurs.
In the example below we se how the price bounce back to the resistance line and get rejected.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) BULL AND BEAR MOMENTUM SIGNALS -----------------------------------------------------------------------
We analyzed factors such as buy or sell signals, long or short confirmation signals, DMI crossup or crossdown and breaks of market structure (BOS) or change of character (CHoCh) to determine the strength and direction of the trend. These study give us bull trend or bear trend signals that can help traders identify potential trading opportunities and make informed decisions.
These conditions are represented by a green word "BULL" and a flag shape below (bull momentum) and by a red word "BEAR" and a flag shape above (bear momentum) respectively by default. These plots shapes are customizable in the settings menu.
How can I benefit the most from bull momentum signals? To make the most of bull momentum signals, a powerful strategy is:
E.g, 1D chart - Look for confluence. If bull signal comes with a "Good Buy 🐂" in the same candle the signal is more strong. Another good combo is to look for a bullish reversal candle prior or after this signal, usually within a range of 1/2 candles. For lower timeframes, it is recommended to wait 2/3 candles before making a trading decision.
In the picture below we can see an example of a bull momentum signal in the US500, 1D, chart.
How can I benefit the most from bear momentum signals? To make the most of bear momentum signals, a powerful strategy is:
E.g, 1D chart - Look for confluence. If bear signal comes with a "Good Sell 🐻" in the same candle the signal is more strong. Another good combo is to look for a bearish reversal candle prior or after this signal, usually within a range of 1/2 candles. For lower timeframes, it is recommended to wait 2/3 candles before making a trading decision.
In the picture below we can see an example of a bear momentum signal in combo with a sell signal, NETFLIX, 1D, chart.
-------------------------------------------------------------- 4) "COLOR BARS THAT INDICATE THE STRENGTH OF THE TREND -----------------------------------------------------
This code is responsible for changing the color of the bars on a chart based on certain conditions. The gradient colors are defined for green and red, and the algorithm checks if the current bar is within a certain range of either a bearish reversal or bullish reversal candle and whether the price is above or below certain exponential moving averages or if important break of market structure occurs.
Ultimately, this feature helps traders visually identify potential trends and market shifts and avoid getting distracted by price fluctuations. Please note that every gradient of color can be customize by the user. We set 3 different bullish colors and 3 different bearish colors.
Below the picture of the settings menu related to the bar color.
----------------------------------------------------------------------5)THREE CUSTOMIZABLE MOVING AVERAGES ----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can choose up to three moving averages, any length and any type like SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA, SWMA and VWMA. Furthermore, you have the freedom to adjust the color and width of the lines to your preference.
Below the picture of the settings menu related to the moving averages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------6) ALERTS DIRECT TO YOUR EMAIL OR PHONE --------------------------------------------------------------------
Our alert feature sends real-time notifications directly to your email or phone when a signal is generated, allowing you to take immediate action and stay ahead of the market.
With our system, you first establish your own rules for trading in the strategy tester - this includes your criteria for entering and exiting trades.
Once you've defined these conditions, our system will start sending you alerts. These alerts will be triggered whenever your specified conditions are met. So, if the market matches your 'enter trade' conditions, you'll receive an alert prompting. Similarly, when your 'exit trade' conditions are met, you'll receive another alert.
Remember, these alerts are purely based on the conditions you set.
Once the condition is met, you will receive alerts directly to your email or phone when enter and exit a trade based on your custom conditions. To make sure you receive these notifications click on notifications tab.
---------------------------------------------------------------7) ADVANCED AND CUSTOMIZABLE SETTINGS MENU----------------------------------------------------------------------
We designed Easy Trade indicators with traders in mind, so it's user-friendly, easy to navigate and users can customize inputs, style, and colors of every feature in the indicator's settings menu.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------8) EASY TRADE PRO - BACKTESTING SYSTEM----------------------------------------------------------------------
Easy Trade Pro features a highly effective and realistic backtesting system, designed to mirror as closely as possible the real-world scenarios of entering and exiting trades.
Step 1:
Open the settings menu of the Indicator.
Once opened the settings menu click on properties.
Decide on the capital you wish to invest. Choose whether to use contracts or USD and determine the size of your orders. For the sake of realism, we recommend not exceeding 25% of your capital per order. However, if you decide to utilize your entire capital, make sure to adjust your stop loss accordingly. For instance, if you have a capital of 10K and use 10K with a stop loss at 2%, your potential loss would be $200. Conversely, if you use only 2K of your 10K capital with a stop loss at 10%, you would still lose the same 2% of your capital. To make your simulation even more authentic, consider incorporating broker fees or commissions into your calculations. For example, spot market fees are typically around 0.10%. If you're backtesting markets with low liquidity, consider factoring in slippage as well.
Step 2:
Navigate to the 'Inputs' section and scroll down until you come across 'Backtesting System - Strategy Test'. Once you locate this, click on the box and activate the 'USE STRATEGY SYSTEM' option by checking the tick box.
Also You will then need to set a 'Start Date' and 'End Date', establishing a specific time period during which you wish to test your strategy.
Otherwise you can consider to use the deep backtesting feature.
Step 3:
It's now time to establish the conditions for entering a trade. You can choose from five different types of custom buy signals: Good Buy, Good Buy Bull, Great Buy, Incredible Buy, and Bullish Reversal. Note that 'Great Buy' and 'Incredible Buy' are rare signals, so we advise against using them frequently in mechanical strategy tests; instead, consider them more for manual live tests. For more consistent results, we recommend using the other buy signals.
After determining your preferred buy signal, you can choose how many confirmation candles you wish to wait for before entering a trade. A 'confirmation' means that if the next candle closes above the opening or closing price of the chosen buy signal, it's considered a confirmation. This could be the opening or closing price, depending on whether the candle is green (close > open) or red.
You can set the number of confirmation candles in different time frames: below 2h, between 2h and 10h, and above 10h.
Step 4:
It's now time to safeguard your trade by managing risk. You can choose to implement a stop loss, expressed in percentage terms, or opt for a trailing stop. A trailing stop is a type of stop loss order that moves with the market price. It is designed to protect gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the market price is moving in a favorable direction. However, the trade closes if the market price changes direction by a specified amount (the 'trailing stop distance').
Additionally, you can minimize losses and move the stop loss to your entry point once the price reaches a certain percentage of profit. This strategy can help secure potential gains while limiting the potential for losses.
Step 5:
Now it's time to set the conditions for exiting the trade. You have the option to divide your exit into a maximum of four parts, with each part representing 25% of the position size. For each take profit point, you can choose from three different custom sell signals: Good Sell, Good Sell Bear, and Bearish Reversal.
Similarly, the concept of confirmation candles also applies here, but in this case, the candles are not closing above. A 'confirmation' for a sell signal means that if the next candle closes below the opening or closing price of the selected sell signal, it's considered a confirmation. This could be the opening or closing price, depending on whether the candle is green (open > close) or red (close < open).
So, when you're looking to sell, a confirmation would occur if the next candlestick's closing price is lower than the opening or closing price of the candlestick that triggered the sell signal. This indicates a potential bearish trend, providing the confirmation to execute the sell order.
Additionally, we've introduced a feature that allows you to move your stop loss to the entry point whenever the first take profit (1TP) is reached, which equates to hitting one custom sell signal.
Step 6:
We've also designed an alternative method for taking profits. With this approach, you can choose to exit your position once a fixed percentage gain from the entry point is reached. For instance, you might decide to exit when a 10% profit is achieved. Similarly to the previous method, this approach allows you to choose up to four exit points and determine the proportion of your position you want to close at each stage.
Conclusion:
Easy Trade Pro provides users with various options for entering and exiting trades. To effectively utilize the indicator, we strongly recommend conducting thorough backtesting and considering the results across your preferred trading pairs. It is advisable to analyze a substantial number of trades, ideally exceeding 100 trades, to obtain reliable insights into the indicator's performance. This approach will help you gain a better understanding of how Easy Trade Pro aligns with your trading strategy and objectives.
❗Keep attention❗
It is important to note that no trading indicator or strategy is foolproof, and there is always a risk of losses in trading. While this indicator may provide useful information for making conclusions, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.
It is also important to be aware of the limitations of simulated performance results. Hypothetical or simulated results do not represent actual trading, and since trades have not been executed, results may be over- or under-compensated for market factors such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, and no representation is being made that any account will achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Therefore, our indicators are for informative purposes only and not intended to be used as financial advice.
We encourage traders to use our indicators as part of a well-rounded trading strategy and to always be aware of the risks involved in trading. Remember that past performance is not indicative of future results and always trade responsibly.
Mechanical Trading StrategyThe "Mechanical Trading Strategy" is a simple and systematic approach to trading that aims to capture short-term price movements in the financial markets. This strategy focuses on executing trades based on specific conditions and predetermined profit targets and stop loss levels.
Key Features:
Profit Target: The strategy allows you to set a profit target as a percentage of the entry price. This target represents the desired level of profit for each trade.
Stop Loss: The strategy incorporates a stop loss level as a percentage of the entry price. This level represents the maximum acceptable loss for each trade, helping to manage risk.
Entry Condition: The strategy triggers trades at a specific time. In this case, the condition for entering a trade is based on the hour of the candle being 16 (4:00 PM). This time-based entry condition provides a systematic approach to executing trades.
Position Sizing: The strategy determines the position size based on a fixed percentage of the available equity. This approach ensures consistent risk management and allows for potential portfolio diversification.
Execution:
When the entry condition is met, signified by the hour being 16, the strategy initiates a long position using the strategy.entry function. It sets the exit conditions using the strategy.exit function, with a limit order for the take profit level and a stop order for the stop loss level.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
The take profit level is calculated by adding a percentage of the entry price to the entry price itself. This represents the profit target for the trade. Conversely, the stop loss level is calculated by subtracting a percentage of the entry price from the entry price. This level represents the maximum acceptable loss for the trade.
By using this mechanical trading strategy, traders can establish a disciplined and systematic approach to their trading decisions. The predefined profit target and stop loss levels provide clear exit rules, helping to manage risk and potentially maximize returns. However, it is important to note that no trading strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, and careful analysis and monitoring of market conditions are always recommended.
Range BreakerStrategy Description: Range Breaker
The Range Breaker strategy is a breakout trading strategy that aims to capture profits when the price of a financial instrument moves out of a defined range. The strategy identifies swing highs and swing lows over a specified lookback period and enters long or short positions when the price breaks above the swing high or below the swing low, respectively. It also employs stop targets based on a percentage to manage risk and protect profits.

Understand the concepts:
a. Swing High: A swing high is a local peak in price where the price is higher than the surrounding prices.
b. Swing Low: A swing low is a local trough in price where the price is lower than the surrounding prices.
c. Lookback Period: The number of bars or periods the strategy analyzes to determine swing highs and swing lows.
d. Stop Target: A predetermined price level at which the strategy will exit the position to manage risk and protect profits.
Configure the strategy:
a. Set the initial capital, order size, commission, and pyramiding as needed for your specific trading account.
b. Choose the desired lookback period to identify the swing highs and lows.
c. Set the stop target multiplier and stop target percentage as desired to manage risk and protect profits.
Backtest the strategy:
a. Set the backtest start date to analyze the strategy's historical performance.
b. Observe the backtesting results to evaluate the strategy's effectiveness and adjust the parameters if necessary.
Implement the strategy:
a. Apply the strategy to your preferred financial instrument on the TradingView platform.
b. Monitor the strategy's performance and adjust the parameters as needed to optimize its effectiveness.
Risk management:
a. Always use a stop target to protect your trading capital and manage risk.
b. Don't risk more than a small percentage of your trading capital on a single trade.
c. Be prepared to adjust the strategy or stop trading it if the market conditions change significantly.
Adjusting the Lookback Period and Timeframes for Optimal Strategy Performance
The Range Breaker strategy uses a lookback period to identify swing highs and lows, which serve as the basis for determining entry and exit points for long and short positions. By adjusting the lookback period and analyzing different timeframes, you can potentially find the best strategy configuration for each specific asset.
Adjusting the lookback period:
The lookback period is a critical parameter that affects the sensitivity of the strategy to price movements. A shorter lookback period will make the strategy more sensitive to smaller price fluctuations, resulting in more frequent trading signals. On the other hand, a longer lookback period will make the strategy less sensitive, generating fewer signals but potentially capturing larger price movements.
To optimize the lookback period for a specific asset, you can test different lookback values and compare their performance in terms of risk-adjusted returns, win rate, and other relevant metrics. Keep in mind that using an overly short lookback period may lead to overtrading and increased transaction costs, while an overly long lookback period may cause the strategy to miss profitable trading opportunities.
Analyzing different timeframes:
Timeframes refer to the duration of each bar or candlestick on the chart. Shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-minute, 15-minute, or 30-minute) focus on intraday price movements, while longer timeframes (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly) capture longer-term trends. The choice of timeframe affects the number of trading signals generated by the strategy and the length of time each position is held.
To find the best strategy for each asset, you can test the Range Breaker strategy on different timeframes and analyze its performance. Keep in mind that shorter timeframes may require more active monitoring and management due to the increased frequency of trading signals. Longer timeframes, on the other hand, may require more patience as positions are held for extended periods.
Finding the best strategy for each asset:
Every asset has unique price characteristics that may affect the performance of a trading strategy. To find the best strategy for each asset, you should:
a. Test various lookback periods and timeframes, observing the strategy's performance in terms of profitability, risk-adjusted returns, and win rate.
b. Consider the asset's historical price behavior, such as its volatility, liquidity, and trend-following or mean-reverting tendencies.
c. Evaluate the strategy's performance during different market conditions, such as bullish, bearish, or sideways markets, to ensure its robustness.
d. Keep in mind that each asset may require a unique set of strategy parameters for optimal performance, and there may be no one-size-fits-all solution.
By experimenting with different lookback periods and timeframes, you can fine-tune the Range Breaker strategy for each specific asset, potentially improving its overall performance and adaptability to changing market conditions. Always practice proper risk management and be prepared to make adjustments as needed.
Remember that trading strategies carry inherent risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always practice proper risk management and consider your own risk tolerance before trading with real money.
Strategy DesignerHello traders.
Thanks to the tool I have published, everyone who knows or does not know coding will be able to create strategies and see the results instantly on the screen. Yes it looks very nice :)
What does this script do?
Thanks to this tool, even if you don't know any coding, you will be able to create your own strategies. You can add and remove indicators.
Entrance
The first thing you need to do is to set a strategy in your mind.
Then you need to adjust the settings of the indicators installed in the system. Please set the indicators first, because later they are forgotten.
The screen for entering the parameters of the indicators will be as follows.
After entering the parameters there is an important part . In this section, we can adjust the strategy settings.
First we choose between which dates we want the strategy to run. We then choose whether we want the strategy results to be displayed in a table or not.
We choose how the Terms should be linked together. For example, if you have a condition that is expected to produce more than one receive signal, select whether these conditions are connected to each other with and or with the connector.
In this way, you can determine whether all or any of the rules in your strategy should apply.
Next, we choose whether our strategy will work in the spot market or in a bidirectional market. Yes, you can design a strategy for both spot and bidirectional trades :)
At the bottom of the above image, we see a screen where we can adjust the stop level and tp level. As a standard, adjustments are made according to the percentage level you enter. However, if you remove the tick next to the percent sign, the previous stop level and the next profit level are determined as much as the value you entered.
At the bottom is the trailing stop. When you open the trailing stop, the trailing stop becomes active in your strategy.
Very important, when the trailing stop and the stop are active at the same time, the trailing stop value is valid.
It's time to design our strategy. Each chapter that begins with an exclamation point is a separate fiction.
If you do not mark the Active button, that condition will not be included in the calculation.
Direction = It is the direction for which the fiction in this region is valid.
We came to the indicator setting screen. Here, there is a screen where we can select two different indicators on the right and left.
We choose the first indicator starting with 1.
Then we choose from the middle region how we want these two indicators to interact.
We choose our second indicator from the place starting with 2.
If you want an indicator to interact with any value, tick the box where it says Value and fill in the value in the blank. When Value is ticked, the second indicator does not work.
Minervini Pullback Strategy_Trend-Template QualifierGeneral Description and Unique Features of this Script
Introducing the ultimate trend-following (long-only) strategy that offers a unique feature you won't find anywhere else!
1. Our script/strategy utilizes Mark Minervini's Trend-Template as a qualifier for identifying stocks and other financial securities in confirmed uptrends. Mark Minervini, a 3x US Investment Champion, developed the Trend-Template, which covers eight different and independent characteristics that can be adjusted and optimized in this trend-following strategy to ensure the best results. The strategy will only trigger buy-signals in case the optimized qualifiers are being met.
2. Our strategy is based on supply/demand balance in the market, making it timeless and effective across all timeframes. Whether you're day trading using 1- or 5-min charts or swing-trading using daily charts, this strategy can be applied and works very well.
3. We also incorporate technical indicators such as RSI and MACD to identify low-risk pullback entries in the context of confirmed uptrends. By doing so, the risk profile of this strategy and drawdowns are being reduced to an absolute minimum, giving you peace of mind while trading.
Minervini’s Trend-Template and the ‘Stage-Analysis’ of the Markets
This strategy is a so-called 'long-only' strategy. This means that we only take long positions, short positions are not considered.
The best market environment for such strategies are periods of stable upward trends in the so-called stage 2 - uptrend.
In stable upward trends, we increase our market exposure and risk.
In sideways markets and downward trends or bear markets, we reduce our exposure very quickly or go 100% to cash and wait for the markets to recover and improve. This allows us to avoid major losses and drawdowns.
This simple rule gives us a significant advantage over most undisciplined traders and amateurs!
'The Trend is your Friend'. This is a very old but true quote.
What's behind it???
• 98% of stocks made their biggest gains in a Phase 2 upward trend.
• If a stock is in a stable uptrend, this is evidence that larger institutions are buying the stock sustainably.
• By focusing on stocks that are in a stable uptrend, the chances of profit are significantly increased.
• In a stable uptrend, investors know exactly what to expect from further price developments. This makes it possible to locate low-risk entry points.
The goal is not to buy at the lowest price – the goal is to buy at the right price!
Each stock goes through the same maturity cycle – it starts at stage 1 and ends at stage 4
Stage 1 – Neglect Phase – Consolidation
Stage 2 – Progressive Phase – Accumulation
Stage 3 – Topping Phase – Distribution
Stage 4 – Downtrend – Capitulation
This strategy focuses on identifying stocks in confirmed stage 2 uptrends. This in itself gives us an advantage over long-term investors and less professional traders.
By focusing on stocks in a stage 2 uptrend, we avoid losses in downtrends (stage 4) or less profitable consolidation phases (stages 1 and 3). We are fully invested and put our money to work for us, and we are fully invested when stocks are in their stage 2 uptrends.
But how can we use technical chart analysis to find stocks that are in a stable stage 2 uptrend?
Mark Minervini has developed the so-called 'trend template' for this purpose. This is an essential part of our JS-TechTrading pullback strategy. For our watchlists, only those individual values that meet the tough requirements of Minervini's trend template are eligible.
The Trend Template
• 200d MA increasing over a period of at least 1 month, better 4-5 months or longer
• 150d MA above 200d MA
• 50d MA above 150d MA and 200d MA
• Course above 50d MA, 150d MA and 200d MA
• Ideally, the 50d MA is increasing over at least 1 month
• Price at least 25% above the 52w low
• Price within 25% of 52w high
• High relative strength according to IBD.
We have developed an algorythm (for TradingView) that uses Minervini’s trend template as a qualifier. This means that the strategy only generates trading signals in case the selected elements of the trend template are being met. The user is fully flexible to adjust the requirements of this Trend-Template qualifier:
This strategy is normally applied to the daily chart ideal for selecting individual stocks for trend-following strategies. Nevertheless, Minervini’s principles are timeless and this alogrithmic strategy with the Trend-Template qualifier can also be applied to any other timframe.
The qualifier #9 (RS-Ratings) can be modified and optimized in the strategy’s settings to fit your individual needs.
In general, it should be noted that ideally all 8/8 trend template criteria are met. Stocks or other securities that meet only some of these 8 criteria can also be very promising candidates for this strategy, provided that backtesting yields good results.
The Pullback Strategy
For the JS-TechTrading pullback strategy, only stocks and other financial instruments that meet the selected criteria of Mark Minervini's trend template are considered. If not, the strategy will not generate any signals.
Further prerequisites for generating a buy signal is that the individual value is in a short-term oversold state (RSI).
When the selling pressure is over and the continuation of the uptrend can be confirmed by the MACD after reaching a price low, a buy signal is issued by the pullback strategy.
Stop-loss limits and profit targets can be set variably.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator developed by Welles Wilder in 1978. The RSI is used to perform a market value analysis and identify the strength of a trend as well as overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and shows how much an asset has risen or fallen relative to its own price in recent periods.
The RSI is calculated as the ratio of average profits to average losses over a certain period of time. A high value of the RSI indicates an overbought situation, while a low value indicates an oversold situation. Typically, a value > 70 is considered an overbought threshold and a value < 30 is considered an oversold threshold. A value above 70 signals that a single value may be overvalued and a decrease in price is likely , while a value below 30 signals that a single value may be undervalued and an increase in price is likely.
For example, let's say you're watching a stock XYZ. After a prolonged falling movement, the RSI value of this stock has fallen to 26. This means that the stock is oversold and that it is time for a potential recovery. Therefore, a trader might decide to buy this stock in the hope that it will rise again soon.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a technical indicator used in both short-term and long-term trading strategies. The indicator was developed by Gerald Appel and is one of the most well-known indicators for the stock market.
The MACD consists of two lines calculated by the difference between two moving averages. The first line is a fast moving average that targets a short period of time. The second line is a slow moving average that targets a longer period of time. In addition, a trigger line is calculated, which consists of another moving average of the MACD line.
The MACD line is the difference between the fast and slow moving average.
The greater the difference between the two lines, the more likely a subsequent price increase. The lower the difference, the more likely a subsequent price drop is.
If the MACD line crosses upwards over the trigger line, this is a buy signal that signals a potential price increase. If the MACD line crosses down below the trigger line, this is a sell signal that signals a potential price weakening.
This strategy is applicable to all timeframes and the relevant parameters for the underlying indicators (RSI and MACD) can be adjusted and optimized as needed.
Backtesting
Backtesting give outstanding results on all timeframes and drawdowns can be reduced to a minimum level. Swing-Traders (daily charts) will see that the strategy does not give any buy signals during market corrections and bear markets.
Settings for backtesting are:
- Period from Jan 2000 until now
- Starting capital 100k USD
- Position size = 25% of equity
- 0.01% commission = USD 2.50.- per Trade
Other comments
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The trend-template qualifier is highly selective and filters out the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a single-digit number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• As a result, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
Combined Strategy Trading Bot (RSI ADX 20SMA)Trading Bot V1, This code implements a combined trading strategy that uses several indicators and strategies to make buy and sell decisions in the market. The code is written in Pine Script™, which is a programming language used in the TradingView platform. By BraelonWhitfield.Eth
The strategy uses the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) and the Pine SuperTrend indicator to identify trends and price movements in the market. The SuperTrend indicator is a popular technical analysis tool that helps to identify the direction of the current trend and provides entry and exit points for trades.
The strategy also uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and change of price movements in the market.
The first part of the code defines the inputs for the ADX and DI Length, which are used to calculate the ADX and DI values. The dirmov() function is used to calculate the positive and negative directional indicators (plusDM and minusDM) based on the high and low prices. The truerange variable is then calculated using the True Range (TR) formula. Finally, the plus and minus variables are calculated using the smoothed moving average of the plusDM and minusDM values.
The adx() function is then used to calculate the ADX values based on the plus and minus variables. The Pine SuperTrend indicator is defined using the pine_supertrend() function. This function uses the high-low average (hl2) and the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the upper and lower bands for the indicator. The direction of the current trend is then determined based on whether the current price is above or below the upper or lower bands.
The RSI values are then calculated using the ta.rsi() function, with the inputs for the close price and the RSI period. The overbought and oversold conditions are defined using the OB and OS inputs, which specify the threshold values for the RSI. The upTrend and downTrend variables are defined based on the direction of the Pine SuperTrend indicator.
The next part of the code defines the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) using the ta.sma() function. The os and ob variables are then calculated based on the RSI values and the OB and OS inputs. The strategy.entry() function is used to define the buy and sell orders based on the upTrend and downTrend variables, as well as the Pine SuperTrend indicator, the 20-period SMA, and the os variable.
The final part of the code defines the Channel Breakout Strategy using the ta.highest() and ta.lowest() functions to calculate the upper and lower bounds of the channel. The strategy.entry() function is then used to define the buy and sell orders based on whether the current price is above or below the upper or lower bounds.
In summary, this code implements a combined trading strategy that uses several indicators and strategies to make buy and sell decisions in the market. The strategy is designed to identify trends and price movements in the market, as well as overbought and oversold conditions, to provide entry and exit points for trades. The strategy uses the Pine SuperTrend indicator, the ADX and DI indicators, the RSI, and the 20-period SMA, as well as the Channel Breakout Strategy to make informed trading decisions.
Reinforced RSI - The Quant Science This strategy was designed and written with the goal of showing and motivating the community how to integrate our 'Probabilities' module with their own script.
We have recreated one of the simplest strategies used by many traders. The strategy only trades long and uses the overbought and oversold levels on the RSI indicator.
We added stop losses and take profits to offer more dynamism to the strategy. Then the 'Probabilities' module was integrated to create a probabilistic reinforcement on each trade.
Specifically, each trade is executed, only if the past probabilities of making a profitable trade is greater than or equal to 51%. This greatly increased the performance of the strategy by avoiding possible bad trades.
The backtesting was calculated on the NASDAQ:TSLA , on 15 minutes timeframe.
The strategy works on Tesla using the following parameters:
1. Lenght: 13
2. Oversold: 40
3. Overbought: 70
4. Lookback: 50
5. Take profit: 3%
6. Stop loss: 3%
Time period: January 2021 to date.

Mean reversal QFL v3My aim is to make the bots trade as you would trading QFL manually and “by the book” or at least to my experience and understanding from the material out there of how you should plan a QFL trade.
Im absolutely not a pro trader, I have made my share of costly mistakes trying to be clever or Beeing impatient resulting in painful losses. QFL is we’re I’ve had consistently good results tough.
Is this where I have to say I’m not a financial advisor and all that? Well I’m not. As always Do your own research and backtest, backtest, backtest.
First: I believe no bot strategy are set and forget, while they can run unattended 80-90% of the time you're always going to find yourself in a situation where you will have to manually handle a bad deal. It would also make sense to be somewhat involved in the really good trades making the most out of them. That’s why understanding the strategy the bot Is using is really important, hence why I prefer QFL. It's an easy concept to understand, and proved to be a safe way of making steady profit in pretty much all market conditions if done right.
Some changes in how aggressive you are might be needed if you are the impatient kind of trader who needs to see a lot of deals happening. But it is an added risk. In those cases Luc would advise to start “nibbling” but that would be hard to implement in a bot but I will see if that’s something I can implement.
Same goes for going the more conservative route when market conditions calls for it.
QFL stands for Quickfingersluc, and sometimes it is referred to as the Base Strategy or Mean Reversals. Its main idea is about identifying the moment of panic selling and buying below the base level and utilizing Safety orders.
Base level or Support Level refers to the lowest price level that was reached before the moment the price started increasing again. At that level, you can notice that buyers of some cryptocurrencies make a strong reaction.
As a bit of a learning material i want to make a few points on important factors in trading using the QFL strategy:
• Identify strong bases
• Read the history of the chart
• No emotions
Trading QFL using a bot has it’s limitations:
· Some of the bases are questionable but im constantly trying to improve this
· The strategy don’t take into consideration chart history(success rate)*
· You need to follow a predefined (by you) buying ladder, hence not considering a particular coin's average price movement, which may vary quite a lot. This why I for now has limited the strategy to SIMPLE bots. So that unique alerts can be created for each pair.
· A set Take profit %, possibly making you miss out on higher profits(This is easy to change during a trade though), and no chance of selling in layers(This is coming soon).
1. Some of the bases are questionable
The strategy will start trades of bases that you wouldn’t consider being a strong base(or a base at all) when looking at the chart.
For those not as familiar with QFL. What is a base, and what qualifies as a strong base?
• A base is also called the Support Level, which is the lowest price level that was reached before the price started turning and increasing again.
• A strong base is recognized by a steep fall in price after breaking the base(Panic), followed by a big reaction pump.
• The reaction pump is the most important factor to say that it is a strong base.
• And also the last base, the one you are trading of is the one that counts
Tip: Look for V shapes on the chart, easy to spot when zoomed out.
2. The integrated signals don’t take into consideration chart history(success rate)*
How can you assess the success rate by looking at the chart?
After finding the bases based on the criterias from the 1st point. Looking at the, how many times did it respect the base after breaking it? 7/10, 8/10, 9/10 times? Great! Chances of the next trade also respecting the base is big, and I would consider raising the TP on that deal. Any lower than that I would keep a really close eye on the deal, or even consider closing the deal. And again remember the last base is the one that counts. If all the others are nice strong bases but that last one you are about to take a trade off is no good the base is invalidated so be cautious.
3. You need to follow a predefined (by you) buying ladder
Crypto is volatile, and there is a huge variation in price movements on all the coins.
Trading manually, looking at the chart gives you a good idea on how much a coin on avg. drops below base, and how big the following reaction is. This gives you an indication on how deep you need to set your layers, and where you can take profit.
Using the strategy you have the backtester to see how much max deviation has been in the past so that you can figure out what the optimal max deviation is.
4. A set Take profit %, possibly making you miss out on higher profits(This is easy to change during a trade though), and no chance of selling in layers.
Not going to say to much about this other than what I often do is:
When a bot has started a trade I usually take a look at the chart. If I like what I see, nice chart history, success rate and trading of a strong previous base etc, with the current base break resulting in a panic drop I will consider increasing the TP so that it will make more profit. This can be a bit risky but also very rewarding. Imagine filling all safeties and then selling just below base! Massive profits!! (Gotta be honest though, almost never stretch it that far with a bot though, but it is a possibility) .
If you have studied the chart and concluded that this particular trade has a 90% chance of success, there isn’t really any reason not to place TP just below base. This is where I would like to have the option of layering my sell orders as well so its something im working on implementing.
Trailing is an option in 3commas, but it’s slow to place orders making you miss a selling opportunity when the coin makes a sudden spike up.
ABOUT THIS STRATEGY
In this strategy we can also reverse the strategy and go short. But i must warn you that that is alot riskier.
QFL is meant to be used on higher TF's like 1hr, 2hr and 4hr. But this strategy also work well on lower Timeframes.
The script also simulates DCA strategy with parameters used in 3commas DCA bots for futures trading.
Experiment with parameters to find your trading setup.
Beware how large your total leveraged position is and how far can market go before you get liquidated!
Do that with the help of futures liquidation calculators you can find online!
Included:
An internal average price and profit calculating, instead of TV`s native one, which is subject to severe slippage.
A graphic interface, so levels are clearly visible and back-test analyzing made easier.
Long & Short direction of the strategy.
Table display a summary of past trades
Vertical colored lines appear when the new maximum deviation from the original price has
been reached
All the trading happens with total account capital, and all order sizes inputs are expressed in percent.
How to use:
- Add the script to the current chart
- Open the strategy settings
-Tweak the settings to to your liking.
-Make a SIMPLE bot in 3commas and use the same settings as you did in tradingview if you only want the strategy to send signals to open a deal and let 3commas handle the rest.
If you check safety orders, Take profit deal stop and Stop loss. The strategy will send all the orders to 3 commas. If that’s what you want set TP in 3commas to 50% set number of safety orders to 0 and keep stop loss unchecked.
- Insert bot details using the deal start condition message found in your 3commas bot.
- When happy, right click on the "..." next to the strategy name, then "Add alert'".
- Under "Condition", on the second line, chose "Any alert () function call". Add the webhook from 3commas( 3commas.io ), give it a name, use {{strategy.order.alert_message}} as a placeholder message and "create".
In the future this signal might make it to the 3commas marketplace. You can then subscribe to that signal where I have cherrypicked coins based on thorough backtesting and optimization.

Dual Fibonacci Zone & Ranged Vol DCA Strategy - R3c0nTraderWhat does this do?
This is for educational purposes and allows one to backtest two Fibonacci Zones simultaneously. This also includes an option for Ranged Volume as a parameter.
Pre-requisites:
First off, this is a Long only strategy as I wrote it with DCA in mind. It cannot be used for shorting. Shorting defeats the purpose of a DCA bot which has a goal that is Long a position not Short a position. If you want to short, there are plenty of free scripts out there that do this.
You must have some base knowledge or experience with Fibonacci trading, understanding what is ADX, +DI (and -DI), etc.
You can use this script without a 3Commas account and see how 3Commas DCA Bot would perform. However, I highly recommend inexperienced uses get a free account and going through the tutorials, FAQ's and knowledgebase. This would give you a base understanding of the settings you will see in this strategy and why you will need to know them. Only then should you try testing this strategy with a paper bot.
Background
After I had created and released "Fibonacci Zone DCA Strategy", I began expanding and testing other ideas.
The first idea was to add Ranged Volume to the Fibonacci Zone DCA strategy which I wanted for providing further confirmation before entering a trade. The second idea was to add a second Fibonacci Zone that was just as configurable as the first Fibonacci Zone. I managed to add both and they can be easily enabled or disabled via the strategy settings menu.
Things Got Real Interesting
Things got real interesting when I started testing strategies with two Fibonacci zones. Here's a quick list of what I found I was able to do:
Mix and match exit strategies. I could set the Fib-1 zone strategy to exit with a take profit % and separately set the Fib-2 zone strategy to exit when the price crosses the top-high fib border
Trade the trend. A common phrase amongst traders is "the Trend is your friend" and with the help of an additional Fib Zone, I was able to trade the trend more often by using two different Fib Zone strategies which if configured properly can shorten time to re-deploy capital, increase number of closed trades, and in some cases increase net profit.
Trade both bull market uptrends and bear market downtrends in the same strategy. I found I could configure one Fib Zone strategy to be really good in uptrends and another Fib Zone strategy to be really good in downtrends. In some cases, with both Fib Zone strategies enabled together in a single strategy I got better results than if the strategies were backtested separately.
There are many other trade strategies I am finding with this. One could be to trade a convergence or divergence of the two different Fib Zones. This could possibly be achieved by setting one strategy to have different Fibonacci length.

The Brain Trust Presets Strategies [BTC / ETH] [PrismBot] [Lite]This strategy contains 9 different timeframe strategies (2 strategy types with pre-adjusted filter options for the different timeframes) tailored to BTC ( Bitcoin ) and ETH ( Ethereum ) on Binance. While I've listed these prebuilt strategies for specific timeframes, they are versatile enough to be checked and tested on other timeframes, and exchanges as well. I have been careful to avoid any curvefitting or overfitting. Included is useful default order settings, but we wanted to ensure you, the user, has control over the order settings for your own equity and trading.
These strategies are created, tailored, tested, and actively used by me.
It is up to you to do your own due diligence when testing these strategies on your exchange, and for your use, and PrismBot bears no responsibility for losses from the use of these strategies.
These strategies employ a variety of methods. Notable inclusions are other live strategies of mine including but not limited to:
ADX + MACD
RSI
Consolidations
Bull Bear Power
Volume Calculations
Open Interest Data
All of these setups include trend trading methods intended to maximize profitability in strong trending markets, and filters deployed to prevent failures in consolidation, though nothing is failproof.
You can control your leverage, quantity calculations, and other order settings. However, all other strategy input parameters are controlled by the strategy selectors.
Some strategies use 1.5 to 1 Risk to Reward ratio while others use 1:1.
How we execute trades for each strategy:
For 10m and 45m
we use a variety of settings for a Normalized MACD and ADX indicator. The thesis is we detect Normalized MACD crossovers at specific values and only allow trading of the strategy when the ADX is above a specific value.
For 15m, 1H, and 45m
we utilize the RSI crossovers of overbought and oversold and use the RSI moving average to filter trades. The thesis is we detect overbought for long and oversold for short.
For each strategy we use additional filters such as Bull Bear Power, Volume Flow, and Open Interest calculations to simply validate a trade.
Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, we detect your timeframe and current coin chart to decide one of the strategies from our database. If you want to manually select a different strategy or try the strategies on different cryptocurrencies, you can disable automatic mode entirely.

█ HOW IT WORKS
VWAP stands for Volume Weighted Average Price.
It is like a simple moving average that takes volume into account.
It is used by a lot of traders since it has everything one needs to know: price and volume.
The cummulated volume calculation resets every session, which interval can be configured.
From that we can calculate the MVWAP and the Standard Deviation Bands and create strategies around that.
█ HOW TO USE
Trend Mode
Trend Mode is the name for strategies built upon VWAP and price/MVWAP cross, most often for Swing Trading on high timeframes trending markets.
The side traded is often long and trying to beat Buy & Hold.
The trade exit can be triggered by a reversal signal (top chart), or a trailing stop (bottom chart) and take profit.
Rotation Mode
This is the mode for Intraday on low timeframes. It will work best on ranging markets.
We use the Standard Deviation Bands to buy/sell the price at overbougth/oversold levels.
The indicator allows to create complex entry conditions such as "Break out of 3rd bands AND break back in 2nd bands" within a certain amount of time.
We will use either the exit options to close the trade when prices reach an opposite band, or the risk management features explained below.
█ FEATURES
• VWAP settings
Configure the VWAP.
• Entry settings
Choose to go long, short, and if the strategy should reverse or not.
• Trend Mode
Choose to create entries from VWAP cross with price or MVWAP.
• Rotation Mode
Configure the 3 bands and build a condition for entry. The multiple inputs allow to add up different events required to trigger an entry, using 3 logical gates that can be linked together using a AND or OR condition. The events being: "break out", "Break back in" or "Just touches" any of the 3 bands. The condition must be met within a certain period of time to be valid.
• Exit settings
Options to exit trades at the end of every session or when the price reaches an opposite band.

Hophop Reversion Strategy
█ OVERVIEW
Mean reversion is a financial term assuming that an asset's price will tend to converge to the average price over time.
Due to the trending nature of the crypto markets, mean reversion on a high timeframe could be pretty dangerous. When it comes to running mean reversion strategy on low timeframe, commission and slippage may cost more than strategy gains.
In this strategy, I tried to achieve being conservative in the trending market while avoiding trades if necessary and trading high probability reversion opportunities .
█ CONCEPTS
Strategy is build based on the combination of the momentum and the historical / implied volatility; when the price exceeds the potential volatility range, the strategy places the orders, and the target point is the mean of the expected range high and range low.
The range low and high lines displayed on the chart shows where to short or long, to make sure that the orders are limit orders; orders are placed 0.5% above/below the ranges!
Key information about the strategy
• All the orders are limit entry
• 0.02% commission is included in the backtest
• 30 ticks set for Verify Price Limit for Orders
• 30 ticks set for Slippage
• Initial version does not include the money management and hard stops hence you need to be extra cautious in trending markets
• Restricted to be used for BTC and ETH for 15 min timeframe
█ Ozet
Ortalamaya dönme, bir varlığın fiyatının zaman içinde ortalama fiyata yakınsama eğiliminde olacağını varsayan bir finansal terimdir.
Kripto piyasalarının trend egilimli doğası nedeniyle, yüksek zaman diliminde ortalamaya dönüş oldukça tehlikeli olabilir.
Ortalama geri dönüş stratejisini düşük zaman diliminde calistirmak söz konusu olduğunda, komisyon ve kayma, strateji kazanımlarından daha pahalıya mal olabilir.
Bu stratejide, gerektiğinde alım satımlardan kaçınırken ve yüksek olasılıklı ortalamaya dönüş fırsatlarını degerlendiren, trend olan piyasada ise isleme girerken temkinli olmasi uzerine calistim
█ Aciklama
Strateji, momentum ve tarihsel / zımni oynaklığın birleşimine dayalı olarak inşa edilmistir; fiyat potansiyel oynaklık aralığını aştığında, strateji emirleri verir ve hedef nokta, beklenen yüksek aralığın ve düşük aralığın ortalamasıdır.
Grafikte görüntülenen aralık alt ve üst satırları,
Stratejiye ait onemli bilgiler/b]

Hey there!
There are many reasons why this strategy has worked quite well over the past few years.
A very simple strategy in itself. The basis of this indicator is the trend following approach. "The trend is your friend." This strategy is based on individual separate indicators. A total of three EMA's (10.50 & 200) & the ATR are combined. The largest EMA shows the basic trend direction and thus also the preferred trade direction. The two smaller EMAs are used for the timing of the entrances at the intersection. The stop levels are placed with the help of the ATR and the large EMA. Profit areas are determined using a risk calculation.
Exact entry points can be identified using the indicator. In addition, a take profit is visualized based on a 3:1 CRV . The stop loss results from a long-term EMA .
Example for NASDAQ:GOOGL ! But can be used for all other trend following stocks!
The indicator can be used on all timeframes. However, the performance is significantly better in higher timeframes. In addition, the display can be adjusted using the options.
That's all. Due to the technical chart background, the strategy can be used without further chart analysis.
Attention: Before opening a position, always first check whether there is any strong news. In these cases it is better to be on the safe side.
Attention: With this strategy a SL is provided as standard. However, the risk must always be carefully calculated.
Past results do not guarantee future profits!

Es gibt viele Gründe, warum sich diese Strategie in den letzten Jahren ganz gut bewährt hat.
Eine sehr einfache Strategie für sich. Grundlage dieses Indikators ist der Trendfolgeansatz. "The trend is your friend." Diese Strategie basiert auf einzelnen seperaten Indikatoren. Insgesamt werden drei EMA's (10,50 & 200) & die ATR kombiniert. Der größte EMA zeigt die grundsätzliche Trendrichtung und somit auch die bevorzugte Traderichtung. Die beiden kleineren EMA werden bei Kreuzung für das Timing der Einstiege verwendet. Mit Hilfe der ATR und des großen EMA werden die Stop Level platziert. Gewinnzonen werden über eine Risikoberechnung ermittelt.
Anhand des Indikators können genaue Einstiege erkannt werden. Zusätzlich wird aufgrund eines 3:1 CRV ein Take Profit visualisiert. Der Stop Loss ergibt sich über einen langfristigen EMA .
Beispiel für NASDAQ:GOOGL ! Kann aber für alle weiteren Trendfolge Aktien verwendet werden!
Der Indikator kann auf allen Timeframes angewendet werden. Allerdings ist der Performance in höheren Timeframes deutlich besser. Zusätzlich kann die Anzeige über die Optionen angepasst werden.

Cyatophilum Scalper [BACKTEST]This indicator comes with a backtest and alert version. This is the backtest version. Its purpose is to create low timeframe and scalping strategies, by choosing from a list of built-in entry points which are described in detail below, and by configuring a risk management system to your liking.
Before diving into the entry points, I will explain the strategy and risk management settings.
These 3 settings allow to choose your strategy direction, and main behavior.
- Go Long ↗: activate or deactivate long entry points.
- Go Short ↘: activate or deactivate short entry points.
- Reversal strategy ↗↘↗↘: Activate this option will allow trades to reverse position from an opposite entry point. Keep it deactivated and trades will either wait a TakeProfit(TP) or StopLoss(SL) to be closed. When neither SL nor TP or set, this option is automatically activated.
StopLoss settings:
Both Long and Short SL can be activated and configured.
The base % price is the starting point of the stoploss, in a percentage of current price.
Trailing stop, when activated, works with 2 settings:
- % Price to Trigger: a percentage of current price the price should move in a bar to trigger a trailing movement.
- % Price Movement: the stoploss variation in a percentage of current price that moves on each bar.
TakeProfit settings:
Both Long and Short TP can be activated and configured.
The base % price is the value of the TP, in a percentage of current price.
Trailing Profit Deviation %: Percent deviation for the trailing take profit.
DCA:
DCA stands for Dollar Cost Average. The idea is to open additional orders from the base order so as to improve risk management.
These additional orders are also called Safety Orders. The indicator can handle up to 9 safety orders.
The strategy will exit either from a take profit based on percentage from base order or from a total volume percentage (Configurable in the parameters).
The steps spacing (space between each step) and safety orders volume (order size) can both scale by adding a scale multiplier.
By choosing from the base strategy dropdown menu, the indicator will generate entry points.
1. BUY SELL:
-> Low timeframes spot trading, with simple buy and sell orders.
How it works:
The indicator used is a combination of QQE (Atr based trend following indicator) and RMA 100 trendline.
I think the QQE does a great job in low timeframes because it is not impacted by the noise.
The RMA which is the moving average used in the RSI, will help giving confirmation to the entry points.
How to use:
It is meant to be used as a reversal strategy, but you can add a TP or SL if you want.
When comparing to Buy & Hold, make sure to deactivate the "Short results in the backtest" setting.
2. TREND SCALPING
-> A strategy for low timeframes trading.
How it works:
The strategy creates high volatility entries filtered by a duo convergence of adaptive trendlines (Adaptive HULL MA using the chart's resolution, Adaptive Tilson T3 using 1H resolution) and a higher timeframe (1H) RSI filter (long threshold: 70, short threshold: 40, RSI length: 10).
How to use:
Must be used on charts with a resolution smaller than 1H. Recommended: from 1m to 30m.
Must NOT be used as reversal strategy. Use it with a take profit and stop loss, and DCA if you can.
Sample risk management settings:
3. Support/Resistance BREAKOUTS
-> Trade low timeframes pivot points breakouts.
How it works:
The indicator calculates the 100 previous bars swing high and low. Any break above high or below low will trigger an entry point.
The entry is however filtered by an Adaptive Tilson T3 Trendline, an ADX 30 minimum threshold and a minimum average volume threshold.
How to use:
I recommend to click "Reversal" Strategy and set a Takeprofit target.
Find the best timeframe between 1m and 30m using the backtest version.
Example here with BTCUSDTPERP on 15m:
4. AGGRESSIVE SCALPING
-> Lots of trades in low timeframes.
How it works:
Created using Cyato AI, Higher/Lower Highs and Lows and 2 HULLMA crosses as entries, and 2 Adaptive Tilson T3 as trendfilter, a 25 ADX threshold filter and a volume filter.
How to use:
Recommended Risk Management settings: Takeprofit, Stoploss and DCA (Safety orders).
Find which timeframe work the best from 30 min and below. Should not be used above 30 min since this is the resolution for the MTF Tilson.
How to create Strategy Alerts:
Write your alert messages for EXIT, LONG and SHORT orders in the settings (Backtest section).
Then click add alert, and in the alert message, write the following:
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
BACKTEST PARAMETERS
- Inital capital: 10 000$

MACD Bull Crossover and RSI Oversold 5 Candles Ago-Long StrategyHello everyone, I've been having a great time perfecting this strategy for a few weeks now. I finally feel like it's time to release it to the public and share what I have been working on.
This strategy only enters a long trade when the MACD crosses over the signal line and the RSI was oversold looking back 5 candles ago. The logic behind this is to wait for RSI to enter the oversold territory, and then when the market starts to recovery the MACD will crossover telling us the sell off is over.
This strategy will close once these 2 conditions are met.
1. MACD Histogram is above 0 and MACD crosses under the signal line.
2. RSI was overbought 5 previous candles ago.
In the strategies settings, you'll be able to enable visual stop-loss and profit levels and change those levels to what you like, enable up to 5 EMA'S,
ADDONS That Affect Strategy:
* Enable visual stop-loss and profit levels as soon as a buy signal is triggered.
* Modify stop-loss and profit levels.
* Modify RSI oversold and RSI overbought levels.
* Modify MACD Fast and Slow moving average.
ADDONS That Do Not Affect Strategy:
* Enable up to 5 EMA's. (This will not affect strategy, and is the only purpose is for people who like following EMA's.)
Thank you for taking the time to try my strategy. I hope you have the best success. I will be making a short strategy, and alerts for this strategy soon. Follow me for updates!
MARUSIA TRADING STRATEGIES [VCRYPTO]Description of MARUSIA TRADING STRATEGIES
«MARUSIA» is a compilation of several strategies.
You may choose the one which best suits your trading habit from options menu.
The strategies are based on indicator’s and bar’s closing level analysis on different timeframes.
At the time being there are 3 types of strategies for BTC on 1H and 3H tf.
+++ BTC 1H 90% Success +++ (Beginner)
Instrument - BTC, timeframe – 1H, exchange – Bitmex.
The advantage of the strategy is a high quantity of profitable trades (90% at the time of publishing).
The Trading View backtest results from 2019:
+ 303% net profit
+ 90% profitable trades
+ 6% drawback
+++ BTC 1H Mega Scalper +++ (Intermediate)
Instrument - BTC, timeframe – 1H, exchange – Bitmex.
The advantage of the strategy is more frequent trades with a good probability of success.
The Trading View backtest results from 2019:
+ 792% net profit
+ 64% profitable trades
+ 5% drawback
+++ BTC 3H Mega Scalper +++ (Expert)
Instrument - BTC, timeframe – 3H, exchange – Bitmex.
The advantage of the strategy is more frequent trades with a good probability of success.
The Trading View backtest results from 2018:
+ 1637% net profit
+ 79% profitable trades
+ 4,4% drawback
HOW TO USE
1. Choose the strategy from the strategy’s option menu on the chart. Pay attention to the instrument and timeframe you are using the selected strategy for.
2. Wait until you see green (above bar) or orange (below bar) label. To receive an alert when these labels (or signals) appear on the chart use ALERT INDICATOR for this strategy.
3. On the opening of the next bar enter the position if the label on the previous bar hasn’t disappeared. Green – for Buy, orange – for Sell. In this case you will see Buy/Sell signal on the chart.
4. Putting TRAILING STOPS
4.1. You should put a trailing stop when the price moves to profit up or down for 1% from your entry. For example, if you are long at 7255 USD and price moves up to 7328 USD (7255*1.01), put trailing stop with a trailing value 0,4% of your entry price, which is 29 USD (7255*0.004).
4.2. Every time when there is a long or short position, you may see a green info label with entry price, trail stop activation level and trail value. You may use this information instead of making a calculation by yourself. Only if your entry is the same as in the label.
5. Position closing maybe by reaching your trailing stop (in this case you may reenter the position on the next bar, if there is a signal label as per step 2 on the bar where your trailing stop is triggered) or when there is a signal for opposite direction.
6. If the signals appear differently than described as above, just refresh the website of Trading View. This happens because mostly take profits are shown only after the current bar is closed.
• The Buy/Sell signal label may move up or down on the bar with price’s movement. Don’t worry it doesn’t mean that your entry is changing.
• The lines on the chart are weekly price levels – the price levels of the previous week –
Green – open, Red – close, Blue – high, Brown – low, Black – hl2 (average of high and low). You may use them as support and resistance levels.

Инструкиция по использованию:
1. Вы открываете график с включенной стратегией. Обратите внимание на инструмент и таймфрейм стратегии.
2. Ожидаете появления на графике зеленого (снизу) или оранжевого (сверху) флажка.
Для получения уведомления появления значков (сигналов) используйте АЛЕРТНЫЙ ИНДИКАТОР для данной стратегии.
3. На открытии следующей свечи входите в сделку, если флажек из п.2 остался и не пропал (зеленый флажек - покупка, оранжевый - продажа)
4. Выставление trailing stop-loss
4.1 Trailing stop-loss выставляется, когда цена прошла 1% в профит от цены выхода в сделку (например: покупка 7255 и когда цена будет 7328 (7255*1,01) выставляется плавающий стоп-лосс (trailing stop-loss) в размере 0,4% от цены входа "29" (7255*0,004).
4.2. Как только будет закрыта свеча, на которой Вы вошли в сделку - вы увидете значения из п.4.1 на экране рядом с графиком (вы можете их использовать без самостоятельного расчета, но тогда есть риск, что если цена на свече входа достигнет значения из п. 4.1 - то сделка закроется, а вы это увидите только на следующей свече, когда значение цены может быть менее выгодное)
5. Выход из сделки осуществляется либо по trailing stop-loss (тогда вы можете перезайти в сделку на открытии следующей свечи, если на свече, на которой произошло закрытие по trailing stop-loss появились флажки из п.2), либо по появлению противоположного флажка, тогда вход в сделку, в соответствии с п. 2 и 3
7. Если Вы увидели, что сигналы отличаются от написанного в данной инструкции - просто обновите страницу с Trading View в браузере и все встанет на свои места.
* На свече захода в сделку сигнал "buy/sell" может "плавать" по свече, но если Вы выполнили п.1-3 Вам неочем беспокоиться. Не обращайте на него внимание.

All Instrument Swing Trader with Pyramids, DCA and Leverage
Introduction
This is my most advanced Pine 4 script so far. It combines my range trader algorithms with my trend following pyramids all on a single interval. This script includes my beta tested DCA feature along with simulated leverage and buying power calculations. It has a twin study with several alerts. The features in this script allow you to experiment with different risk strategies and evaluate the approximate impact on your account capital. The script is flexible enough to run on instruments from different markets and at various bar intervals. This strategy can be run in three different modes: long, short and bidirectional. The bidirectional mode has two split modes (Ping Pong and BiDir). It also generates a summary report label with information not available in the TradingView Performance report such as Rate Of Return Standard Deviation and other Sharpe Ratio input values. Notable features include the following:
- Swing Trading Paradigm
- Uni or Bidirectional trading modes
- Calculation presets for Crypto, Stocks and Forex
- Conditional Minimum Profit
- Hard stop loss field
- Two types of DCA (Positive and Negative)
- Discretionary Pyramid levels with threshold adjustment and limiter
- Consecutive loss counter with preset and label
- Reentry loss limiter and trade entry caution fields
- Simulated Leverage and margin call warning label (approximation only)
- Buying power report labels (approximation only)
- Rate Of Return report with input values for Sharpe Ratio, Sortino and others
- Summary report label with real-time status indicators
- Trend follow bias modes (Its still range trading)
- Six anti-chop settings
- Single interval strategy to reduce repaint occurrence
This is a swing trading strategy so the behavior of this script is to buy on weakness and sell on strength. As such trade orders are placed in a counter direction to price pressure. What you will see on the chart is a short position on peaks and a long position on valleys. Just to be clear, the range as well as trends are merely illusions as the chart only receives prices. However, this script attempts to calculate pivot points from the price stream. Rising pivots are shorts and falling pivots are longs. I refer to pivots as a vertex in this script which adds structural components to the chart formation (point, sides and a base). When trading in “Ping Pong” mode long and short positions are intermingled continuously as long as there exists a detectable vertex. Unfortunately, this can work against your backtest profitability on long duration trends where prices continue in a single direction without pullback. I have designed various features in the script to compensate for this event. A well configured script should perform in a range bound market and minimize losses in a trend. For a range trader the trend is most certainly not your friend. I also have a trend following version of this script for those not interested in trading the range.
This script makes use of the TradingView pyramid feature accessible from the properties tab. Additional trades can be placed in the draw-down space increasing the position size and thereby increasing the profit or loss when the position finally closes. Each individual add on trade increases its order size as a multiple of its pyramid level. This makes it easy to comply with NFA FIFO Rule 2-43(b) if the trades are executed here in America. The inputs dialog box contains various settings to adjust where the add on trades show up, under what circumstances and how frequent if at all. Please be advised that pyramiding is an advanced feature and can wipe out your account capital if your not careful. You can use the “Performance Bond Leverage” feature to stress test your account capital with varying pyramid levels during the backtest. Use modest settings with realistic capital until you discover what you think you can handle. See the“Performance Bond Leverage” description for more information.
In addition to pyramiding this script employs DCA which enables users to experiment with loss recovery techniques. This is another advanced feature which can increase the order size on new trades in response to stopped out or winning streak trades. The script keeps track of debt incurred from losing trades. When the debt is recovered the order size returns to the base amount specified in the TV properties tab. The inputs for this feature include a limiter to prevent your account from depleting capital during runaway markets. The main difference between DCA and pyramids is that this implementation of DCA applies to new trades while pyramids affect open positions. DCA is a popular feature in crypto trading but can leave you with large “bags” if your not careful. In other markets, especially margin trading, you’ll need a well funded account and much experience.
To be sure pyramiding and dollar cost averaging is as close to gambling as you can get in respectable trading exchanges. However, if you are looking to compete in a Forex contest or want to add excitement to your trading life style those features could find a place in your strategies. Although your backtest may show spectacular gains don’t expect your live trading account to do the same. Every backtest has some measure to data mining bias. Please remember that.
This script is equipped with a consecutive loss counter. A limit field is provided in the report section of the input dialog box. This is a whole number value that, when specified, will generate a label on the chart when consecutive losses exceed the threshold. Every stop hit beyond this limit will be reported on a version 4 label above the bar where the stop is hit. Use the location of the labels along with the summary report tally to improve the adaptability of system. Don’t simply fit the chart. A good trading system should adapt to ever changing market conditions. On the study version the consecutive loss limit can be used to halt live trading on the broker side (managed manually).
This script can simulate leverage applied to your account capital. Basically, you want to know if the account capital you specified in the properties tab is sufficient to trade this script with the order size, pyramid and DCA parameters needed. TradingView does not halt trading when the account capital is depleted nor do you receive notification of such an event. Input the leverage you intend to trade with and simulate the stress on your account capital. When the check box labeled “Report Margin Call” is enabled a marker will plot on the chart at the location where the threshold was breached. Additionally, the Summary Report will indicated such a breach has occurred during the backtest. Please note that the margin calculation uses a performance bond contract model which is the same type of leverage applied to Forex accounts. This is not the same leverage as stock margin accounts since shares are not actually borrowed. It is also not applicable to futures contracts since we do not calculate maintenance margin. Also note that the account margin and buying power are calculated using the U.S. Dollar as a funding currency. Margin rules across the globe vary considerably so use this feature as an approximation. The “Report Margin Call” plot only appears on negative buying power which is well beyond the NFA enforced margin closeout price. Vary the order size and account capital and activate the buying power plot to get as close as you can to the desired margin call threshold. Also keep in mind that rollover fees, commissions, spreads, etc affect the margin call in actual live trading. This feature does not include any of those costs.
Inputs
The script input dialog box is divided into five sections. The last section, Section 5, contains all of the script reporting options. Notable reporting options are the inputs which provide support for calculating actual Sharpe Ratios and other risk / performance metrics. The TradingView performance report does not produce a scalable Sharpe Ratio which is unfortunate considering the limited data supplied to the backtest. Three report fields made available in this section are intended to enable users to measure the performance of this script using various industry standard risk metrics. In particular, The Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, Alpha Calculation, Beta Calculation, R-Squared and Monthly Standard Deviation. The following fields are dedicated to this effort:
– ROR Sample Period - Integer number which specifies the rate of return period. This number is a component of the Sharpe Ratio and determines the number of sample periods divisible in the chart data. The number specified here is the length of the period measured in bar intervals. Since the quantity of TradingView historical data is limited this number should reflect the scalar value applied to your Sharpe calculation. When the checkbox “Report Period ROR” is enabled red boxes plot on the dates corresponding to the ROR sample period. The red boxes display information useful in calculating various risk and performance models. Ongoing buying power is included in the period report which is especially useful in assessing the DCA stress on account capital. Important: When the “ROR Sample Period” is specified the script computes the ROR mean value and displays the result in the summary report label on the live end of the chart. Use this number to calculate the historical standard deviation of period returns.
– Return Mean Value - This is the ROR mean value which is displayed in the summary report field “ROR Mean”. Enter the value shown in the summary report here in order to calculate the standard deviation of returns. Once calculated the result is displayed in the summary report field “Standard Dev”. Please note that ROR and standard deviation are calculated on the quote currency of the chart and not the account currency. If you intend to calculate risk metrics based on other denominated returns use the period calculations in a spreadsheet. Important: Do not change the account denomination on the properties tab simply to force a dollar calculation. It will alter the backtest itself since the minimum profit, stop-loss and other variables are always measured in the quote currency of the chart.
– Report Period ROR - This checkbox is used to display the ROR period report which plots a red label above the bars corresponding to the ROR sample period. The sample period is defined by the value entered into the “ROR Sample Period” field. This checkbox only determines if the period labels plot on the chart. It does not enable or disable the ROR calculation itself. Please see input description“ROR Sample Period” for a detailed description of this feature.
Design
This script uses twelve indicators on a single time frame. The original trading algorithms are a port from a much larger program on another trading platform. I’ve converted some of the statistical functions to use standard indicators available on TradingView. The setups make heavy use of the Hull Moving Average in conjunction with EMAs that form the Bill Williams Alligator as described in his book “New Trading Dimensions” Chapter 3. Lag between the Hull and the EMAs form the basis of the entry and exit points. The vertices are calculated using one of five featured indicators. Each indicator is actually a composite of calculations which produce a distinct mean. This mathematical distinction enables the script to be useful on various instruments which belong to entirely different markets. In other words, at least one of these indicators should be able generate pivots on an arbitrarily selected instrument. Try each one to find the best fit.
The entire script is around 2200 lines of Pine code which pushes the limits of what can be created on this platform given the TradingView maximums for: local scopes, run-time duration and compile time. This script incorporates code from both my range trader and trend following published programs. Both have been in development for nearly two years and have been in beta test for the last several months. During the beta test of the range trading script it was discovered that by widening the stop and delaying the entry, add on trading opportunities appeared on the chart. I determined that by sacrificing a few minor features code space could be made available for pyramiding capability in the range trader. The module has been through several refactoring passes and makes extensive use of ternary statements. As such, It takes a full three minutes to compile after adding it to a chart. Please wait for the hovering dots to disappear before attempting to bring up the input dialog box. For the most part the same configuration settings for the range script can be applied to this script.
Inputs to the script use cone centric measurements in effort to avoid exposing adjustments to the various internal indicators. The goal was to keep the inputs relevant to the actual trade entry and exit locations as opposed to a series of MA input values and the like. As a result the strategy exposes over 70 inputs grouped into long or short sections. Inputs are available for the usual minimum profit and stop-loss as well as safeguards, trade frequency, pyramids, DCA, modes, presets, reports and lots of calibrations. The inputs are numerous, I know. Unfortunately, at this time, TradingView does not offer any other method to get data in the script. The usual initialization files such as cnf, cfg, ini, json and xml files are currently unsupported.
I have several example configuration settings that I use for my own trading. They include cryptocurrencies and forex instruments on various time frames.
Indicator Repainting and Anomalies
Indicator repainting is an industry wide problem which mainly occurs when you mix backtest data with real-time data. It doesn't matter which platform you use some form of this condition will manifest itself on your chart over time. The critical aspect being whether live trades on your broker’s account continue to match your TradingView study.
Based on my experience with Pine, most of the problems stem from TradingView’s implementation of multiple interval access. Whereas most platforms provide a separate bar series for each interval requested, the Pine language interleaves higher time frames with the primary chart interval. The problem is exacerbated by allowing a look-ahead parameter to the Security function. The goal of my repaint prevention is simply to ensure that my signal trading bias remains consistent between the strategy, study and broker. That being said this is what I’ve done address this issue in this script:
1. This script uses only 1 time frame. The chart interval.
2. Every entry and exit condition is evaluated on closed bars only.
3. No security functions are called to avoid a look-ahead possibility.
4. Every contributing factor specified in the TradingView wiki regarding this issue has been addressed.
5. Entry and exit setups are not reliant on crossover conditions.
6. I’ve run a 10 minute chart live for a week and compared it to the same chart periodically reloaded. The two charts were highly correlated with no instances of completely opposite real-time signals. I do have to say that there were differences in the location of some trades between the backtest and the study. But, I think mostly those differences are attributable to trading off closed bars in the study and the use of strategy functions in the backtest.
The study does indeed bring up the TV warning dialog. The only reason for this is because the script uses an EMA indicator which according to TradingView is due to “peculiarities of the algorithm”. I use the EMA for the Bill Williams Alligator so there is no way to remove it.
One issue that comes up when comparing the strategy with the study is that the strategy trades show on the chart one bar later than the study. This problem is due to the fact that “strategy.entry()” and “strategy_exit()” do not execute on the same bar called. The study, on the other hand, has no such limitation since there are no position routines.
Please be aware that the data source matters. Cryptocurrency has no central tick repository so each exchange supplies TradingView its feed. Even though it is the same symbol the quality of the data and subsequently the bars that are supplied to the chart varies with the exchange. This script will absolutely produce different results on different data feeds of the same symbol. Be sure to backtest this script on the same data you intend to receive alerts for. Any example settings I share with you will always have the exchange name used to generate the test results.
Usage
The following steps provide a very brief set of instructions that will get you started but will most certainly not produce the best backtest. A trading system that you are willing to risk your hard earned capital will require a well crafted configuration that involves time, expertise and clearly defined goals. As previously mentioned, I have several example configs that I use for my own trading that I can share with you. To get hands on experience in setting up your own symbol from scratch please follow the steps below.
The input dialog box contains over 70 inputs separated into five sections. Each section is identified as such with a makeshift separator input. There are three main areas that must to be configured: long side, short side and settings that apply to both. The rest of the inputs apply to pyramids, DCA, reporting and calibrations. The following steps address these three main areas only. You will need to get your backtest in the black before moving on to the more advanced features.
Step 1. Setup the Base currency and order size in the properties tab.
Step 2. Select the calculation presets in the Instrument Type field.
Step 3. Select “No Trade” in the Trading Mode field.
Step 4. Select the Histogram indicator from Section 2. You will be experimenting with different ones so it doesn’t matter which one you try first.
Step 5. Turn on Show Markers in Section 2.
Step 6. Go to the chart and checkout where the markers show up. Blue is up and red is down. Long trades show up along the red markers and short trades on the blue.
Step 7. Make adjustments to “Base To Vertex” and “Vertex To Base” net change and roc in Section 3. Use these fields to move the markers to where you want trades to be.
Step 8. Try a different indicator from Section 2 and repeat Step 7 until you find the best match for this instrument on this interval. This step is complete when the Vertex settings and indicator combination produce the most favorable results.
Step 9. Go to Section 3 and enable “Apply Red Base To Base Margin”.
Step 10. Go to Section 4 and enable “Apply Blue Base To Base Margin”.
Step 11. Go to Section 2 and adjust “Minimum Base To Base Blue” and “Minimum Base To Base Red”. Observe the chart and note where the markers move relative to each other. Markers further apart will produce less trades but will reduce cutoffs in “Ping Pong” mode.
Step 12. Return to Section 3 and 4 and turn off “Base To Base Margin” which was enabled in steps 9 and 10.
Step 13. Turn off Show Markers in Section 2.
Step 14. Put in your Minimum Profit and Stop Loss in the first section. This is in pips or currency basis points (chart right side scale). Percentage is not currently supported. This is a fixed value minimum profit and stop loss. Also note that the profit is taken as a conditional exit on a market order not a fixed limit. The actual profit taken will almost always be greater than the amount specified (due to the exit condition). The stop loss, on the other hand, is indeed a hard number which is executed by the TradingView broker simulator when the threshold is breached. On the study version, the stop is executed at the close of the bar.
Step 15. Return to step 3 and select a Trading Mode (Long, Short, BiDir, Ping Pong). If you are planning to trade bidirectionally its best to configure long first then short. Combine them with “BiDir” or “Ping Pong” after setting up both sides of the trade individually. The difference between “BiDir” and “Ping Pong” is that “Ping Pong” uses position reversal and can cut off opposing trades less than the specified minimum profit. As a result “Ping Pong” mode produces the greatest number of trades.
Step 16. Take a look at the chart. Trades should be showing along the markers plotted earlier.
Step 17. Make adjustments to the Vertex fields in Section 2 until the TradingView performance report is showing a profit. This includes the “Minimum Base To Base” fields. If a profit cannot be achieved move on to Step 18. Other adjustments may make a crucial difference.
Step 18. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Entry Net Change” and “Entry ROC” in Section 3 and 4.
Step 19. Enable the “Mandatory Snap” checkbox in Section 3 and 4 and adjust the “Snap Candle Delta” and “Snap Fractal Delta” in Section 2. This should reduce some chop producing unprofitable reversals.
Step 20. Increase the distance between opposing trades by adding an “Interleave Delta” in Sections 3 and 4. This is a floating point value which starts at 0.01 and typically does not exceed 2.0.
Step 21. Increase the distance between opposing trades even further by adding a “Decay Minimum Span” in Sections 3 and 4. This is an absolute value specified in the symbol’s quote currency (right side scale of the chart). This value is similar to the minimum profit and stop loss fields in Section 1.
Step 22. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Sparse Delta” in Section 3 and 4.
Step 23. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Chase Delta” in Section 3 and 4.
Step 24. Improve the backtest profitability by adjusting the “Adherence Delta” in Section 3 and 4. This field requires the “Adhere to Rising Trend” checkbox to be enabled.
Step 25. Try each checkbox in Section 3 and 4. See if it improves the backtest profitability. The “Caution Lackluster” checkbox only works when “Caution Mode” is enabled.
Step 26. Enable the reporting conditions in Section 5. Look for long runs of consecutive losses or high debt sequences. These are indications that your trading system cannot withstand sudden changes in market sentiment.
Step 27. Examine the chart and see that trades are being placed in accordance with your desired trading goals. This is an important step. If your desired model requires multiple trades per day then you should be seeing hundreds of trades on the chart. Alternatively, you may be looking to trade fewer steep peaks and deep valleys in which case you should see trades at major turning points. Don’t simply settle for what the backtest serves you. Work your configuration until the system aligns with your desired model. Try changing indicators and even intervals if you cannot reach your simulation goals. Generally speaking, the histogram and Candle indicators produce the most trades. The Macro indicator captures the tallest peaks and valleys.
Step 28. Apply the backtest settings to the study version and perform forward testing.
This script is open for beta testing. After successful beta test it will become a commercial application available by subscription only. I’ve invested quite a lot of time and effort into making this the best possible signal generator for all of the instruments I intend to trade. I certainly welcome any suggestions for improvements. Thank you all in advance.
One final note. I'm not a fan of having the Performance Overview (blue wedge) automatically show up at the end of the publish page since it could be misleading. On the EUR/USD backtest showing here I used a minimum profit of 65 pips, a stop of 120 pips, the candle indicator and a 5 pyramid max value. Also Mark Pyramid Levels (blue triangles) are enabled along with a 720 ROR Sample Period (red labels).
