[Round Numbers] Signal Clean Up Analysis with Backtest (TSO)Round Numbers NEW GEN indicator!
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
This is a full-cycle trading system indicator - it will show and alert each step of the trade from open to close. The algorithm here uses Round Numbers for generating signals, TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels. Round numbers play big role in trading and can easily become strong support and resistance levels where price can bounce and go the opposite way or go through with a very nice run afterwards.
In addition there is a chained (NOTE: You can select several or ALL of the features, this is not limited to either one) signal cleanup and analysis approach with scheduling and alerting capabilities. Works with most popular timeframes: 1M, 3M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D.
NOTE: Every action of the trade is calculated on a confirmed closed candle bar state (barstate.isconfirmed), so the indicator will never repaint!
NOTE: At position open - there will be calculated Take-Profit and Stop-Loss targets, however each target is considered hit, when candle bar closes breaking that target, so Take-Profit and Stop-Loss when hit will slightly differ then what you see at trade/position open.
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
Round Numbers up|down unit setting and overall explanation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round Number up|down unit: is the distance between round numbers on the chart. Since these round number levels are also used by the algorithm to open/close trades, it is important to set this setting to a logical number, which will correspond to an average price movement of the instrument.
Here are some examples for a few popular instruments on what will the default 1 round number unit correspond to and what would be suggested:
BTCUSD > $1 (this won't work for Bitcoin, try at least $100 - 100units)
SPY: > $1 (one of the best settings for SPY or QQQ, 50cents shows good results as well - 0.5units)
FOREX (all major pairs): > 10PIPs (that may be a bit small, unless scalping, try 50PIPs - 5units)

Labels, plots, colors explanations:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> LONG open: green "house" looking arrow below candle bar.
>>>>> SHORT open: red "house" looking arrow above candle bar.

>>>>> LONG/SHORT EOD (End of Day | Intraday style) close (profitable trade): green/red squares.
>>>>> LONG/SHORT EOD (End of Day | Intraday style) close (loss trade): green/red PLUS(+)-crosses.
===========================================================================
Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!). Please note the EOD trade closure times with the 2 different Intraday close settings when turned on:
At Market Close:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:55pm ET
15min > will close at 15:45pm ET
30min > will close at 15:30pm ET
45min > will close at 15:45pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
Before Power Hour:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:00pm ET
15min > will close at 15:00pm ET
30min > will close at 15:00pm ET
45min > will close at 15:00pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
>>> Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/trunning, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on).
>>> Turn On/Off: Current Position SL + Opposite Position Open Signal on the same closing candle bar (If current trade hits Stop-Loss and at that same closing candle bar there is a signal for an opposite direction trade > indicator will close current position as Stop-Loss and immediately open an opposite position). NOTE: With this option turned on, there will be more trades, but not necessarily better results, since after Stop-Loss is hit, it may make sense to wait a little before opening an opposite trade, even if it matches the condition at the same time when Stop-Loss is hit, but sometimes it shows great results, so this setting/feature is included. NOTE: This setting only will work/make sense with TP and SL style/behavior both be set to "Fully Closed Candle"!
>>> Turn On/Off: Turn On/Off: Current Position REGULAR SL | Only the SL + Opposite Position Open will trigger if turned on, IF NOT - THERE WILL BE NO STOP-LOSS AT ALL!!! NOTE: It is very dangerous to trade without Stop-Loss!
>>>>> Signal Candle Bar consuming Take-Profits - position/trade signal candle bar is big enough to "consume"/close ahead the first TP setting > the signal can either be skipped, or all Take-Profit areas pushed ahead using smart formula)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit) ||| 2) Dynamic – Once the trade is open, only the 1st Take-Profit target is calculated, once the 1st Take-Profit is hit > next Take-Profit distance is calculated based on the distance from trade Entry to where 1st Take-Profit was taken, once 2nd Take-Profit is taken > 3rd Take-Profit is calculated per same logic, these are good for price momentum as with price speeding up – profits increase as well!
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT: SL (stop loss) System | Static: SL is set at position open and remains such; Dynamic: Once ANY TP is taken > SL will be moved to Entry; Trailing: SL will be moved along the position (smart trailing stop-loss), at TP1 taken > SL moves to Entry, at TP2 taken > SL moves to TP1, at TP3 taken > SL moves to TP2 and so on.
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…
===========================================================================
Dynamic/Static/Trailing Take-Profit and Stop-Loss visual examples:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Fully Static Take-Profit and Stop-Loss
This one is a fully static setup for both Take-Profit and Stop-Loss, you can also observe how trade is closed right before the Power Hour (trade can be closed right before Power Hour or right before Market Closes or left overnight as desired).
2) Static/Dynamic, Static Take-Profit and Dynamic Stop-Loss
You can see a static Take-Profit set at position open, while Stop-Loss moves to Entry once TP1 target is taken.
3) Static/Trailing, Static Take-Profit and Trailing Stop-Loss
In here with each Take-Profit taken, Stop-Loss moves along the trade to previous Take-Profit level, you can notice how stop-loss literally follows the trade and reduces the potential loss.
4) Dynamic/Trailing, Dynamic Take-Profit and Trailing Stop-Loss
See how Take-Profit distances increase with price momentum. Just like in previous example - Trailing Stop-Loss is following the trade and reducing the riks.
===========================================================================
Signal Analysis and Cleanup Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Candle Color signal confirmation: If closed candle bar color does not match the signal direction > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip opposite candle signals: If closed candle bar color will match the signal direction, but candle structure will be opposite (for example: bearish green hammer, long high stick on top of a small green square) > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip doji candle signals: If closed candle bar will be the uncertain doji > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator) signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, EWO is green or will be at bullish slope (you can select which setting you desire), SHORT if EWO is red or will be at bearish slope.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | VWAP signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above VWAP, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | Moving Average signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above selected Moving Average, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | ATR signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above ATR, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | RSI + MACD signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, RSI + MACD will be bullish, SHORT if RSI + MACD will be bearish.
>>>>> Volume signal confirmation: LONG/SHORT will only be opened with strong Volume matching the signal direction, by default, strong Volume percentage is set to 150% and weak to 50%, but you can change it as you desire.

TP System - VERY IMPORTANT INFO!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" - amount by which current trade/position needs to be reduced/partially closed/sold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Dynamic
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount (trade/position size divided by the # of take-profit(TP) targets) and percentage to be closed will always be of the ORIGINAL trade/position.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Static
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount IF take-profit(TP) targets are hit 1-by-1 (TP1 > TP2 > TP3 > TP4 > TP5), otherwise it will vary and unless it is a 1st take-profit(TP1), the REMAINING trade/position size will always be smaller than original and therefore the percentage to be closed will always be of the REMAINING trade/position and NOT the original one!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" CheatSheet (these are the only percentages you may see)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TP PERCENTAGE---Close/Sell Amount-------------Example (trade size: 50 stocks)
20%-------------trade size * 0.2--------------50 * 0.2 = 10 stocks
25%-------------trade size * 0.25-------------50 * 0.25 = 12.5(~13) stocks
34%-------------trade size * 0.34-------------50 * 0.34 = 17 stocks
40%-------------trade size * 0.4--------------50 * 0.4 = 20 stocks
50%-------------trade size * 0.5--------------50 * 0.5 = 25 stocks
60%-------------trade size * 0.6--------------50 * 0.6 = 30 stocks
66%-------------trade size * 0.66-------------50 * 0.66 = 33 stocks
75%-------------trade size * 0.75-------------50 * 0.75 = 37.5(~38) stocks
80%-------------trade size * 0.8--------------50 * 0.8 = 40 stocks
100%------------trade size--------------------50 = 50 stocks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If for any reason a portion of the current/remaining trade closed at such occurrence was slightly wrong, it is not an issue. Such occurrences are rare and with slight difference in partial TP closed is not significant to overall performance of our algorithms.

Adding Alerts in TradngView
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Add indicator to chart and make sure the correct strategy is configured (check Backtesting results)
-Right-click anywhere on the TradingView chart
-Click on Add alert
-Condition: Select this indicator by it’s name
-Immediately below, change it to "alert() function calls only", as other wise there will be 2 alerts for every alert!
-Expiration: Open-ended (that may require higher tier TradingView account, otherwise the alert will need to be occasionally re-triggered)
-Alert name: Whatever you desire
-Hit “Create”
-Note: If you change ANY Settings within the indicator – you must DELETE the current alert and create a new one per steps above, otherwise it will continue triggering alerts per old Settings!
===========================================================================
If you have any questions or issues with the indicator, please message me directly via TradingView.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Luck! (NOTE: Trading is very risky, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, so please trade responsibly!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: There seems to be a strange glitch when strategy is running live, it will show "double-take" take-profits labels on the chart. This is not affecting the script logic and backtesting results, if you simply change the timeframe real quick to something else then back - it will no longer show the duplicate orders... this must be some sort of a glitch as every alert was thoroughly tested to make sure everything is working!
Universal
Bonsai BX (Backtester)In today's trading landscape, traders need precision and deep analytical tools to navigate the sea of strategies. The Bonsai Backtester is one such tool, meticulously designed to evaluate multiple trading strategies in an integrated manner.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🌳 Bonsai BX 🌳 Universal Strategy Testing
📘 Overview
A product of collaboration with the Bonsai community, this backtester is both a reflection of collective insights and a means to provide traders with data-driven insights on TradingView.
📌 Current Backtest
• Dataset: BTCUSD daily candles from Coinbase, starting from March 2015.
• Source Signals: The Bonsai indicator signals are employed for both long and short entries. These are directly visible on the publication chart.
• Trading Assumptions:
• Initial Capital: $1,000
• Maximum Position Size: 10% of equity per trade
• Stop Loss: 10% per position
• Commission: 0.1%
• Slippage: 100 ticks (1.00)
🛠 Key Features
The Bonsai BX is equipped with a range of features aimed at providing traders with a more comprehensive analysis environment:
Features on Chart
• External Indicator Adaptability: Easily incorporate signals from both built-in and custom TradingView indicators.
• Snapshot Table: Delivers on-the-spot insights into crucial strategy performance metrics, including equity, open profit, position size, and entry price. While these details are available in TradingView's 'Performance Summary' panel, we've integrated them directly onto the chart for a more streamlined and accessible viewing experience.
• Trade Labels: Visualize profit metrics for individual trades directly on the chart, allowing for a more immediate grasp of trade outcomes.
• Long & Short Behaviors: Modify long behaviors to either open new long positions while closing short ones, or simply to close short positions. Conversely, for short behaviors, opt to either initiate new short positions while closing any active long ones or simply close long positions.
• Multiple Signals Integration: The tool can currently handle up to three different external signals for long and short trades.
• Condition-based Initiation: Define whether longs and shorts are triggered when 'All Conditions Met' or just 'Any Single Condition Met'. This flexibility allows for a more nuanced trading approach. For example, if you're using a trade signal alongside the RSI, you can specify that a long position should only open when the trade signal is active and the RSI is below 30 at the same time. This lets you combine multiple signals or conditions for more precise trade initiation.
• TP & SL Customization:
• Single TP: Set a specific Take Profit percentage.
• SL: Define a Stop Loss percentage and choose between a standard or trailing stop.
• Trail From: Specify the starting point of the trailing stop, be it the breakeven point or a certain percentage.
• Interface Theme: Users can select between light and dark themes for their interface.
Performance and Trailing
🎛 Using Bonsai BX
1. Add it to your TradingView chart.
2. Adjust script parameters and settings. Integrate external indicator signals as needed.
3. Activate the backtester to refine trading strategies.
Backtester Settings Menu
🪝 Webhook (Beta)
The Webhook functionality, now in beta, augments the Bonsai BX utility. This feature offers a more intuitive method for users to direct webhooks to trading bots, exchanges, and brokers. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need to adjust JSON structures or other payload formats, making alert automation more accessible.
📜 Feedback & Community
The feedback from the Bonsai community has been instrumental in the tool's development and will continue to shape its evolution. As part of our commitment to adaptive, smart trading, this script will continually be updated to meet the ever-changing requirements of traders.
❗️ Disclaimer
Backtesting tools, including the Bonsai BX , simulate trading strategies based on historical data. The following key points should be kept in mind:
1. Past Performance is Not Predictive: While backtesting can offer insights, it's essential to understand that past performance does not guarantee or predict future results. Historical data might not account for future market changes or unforeseen events.
2. External Influences: Market outcomes can be significantly influenced by various external factors like geopolitical events, economic announcements, and sudden shifts in market sentiment. Such factors are often not considered in backtesting simulations.
3. Market Dynamics: Elements like market volatility, liquidity constraints, and slippage can drastically alter expected outcomes. These dynamics might not always be accurately represented in backtest simulations.
4. Limitations of Simulated Trades: Backtesting operates under the assumption that historical trends and patterns will replicate. However, market conditions evolve, and what worked in the past might not necessarily be viable in the future.
5. Informed Decisions: Always base your trading decisions on a mix of comprehensive research, current market analysis, and risk assessment. Relying solely on backtested results can lead to misconstrued perceptions and potential pitfalls.
Trading involves risks, and it's crucial to be fully informed and cautious before making any investment decisions. Always consider seeking advice from financial experts or professionals when in doubt.
[Volume Profile] Signal Clean Up Analysis with Backtest (TSO) This is a full-cycle trading system indicator, which uses Volume Profile for generating signals using a custom developed algorithm, TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels. There are 2 SOURCES for signals (each can be used separately or both can be used at the same time, each signal SOURCE is using Volume Profile levels to open optimal trade direction) with chained (NOTE: You can select several or ALL of the features, this is not limited to either one) signal cleanup and analysis approach with scheduling and alerting capabilities. Works with most popular timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D, great for intraday trading!
NOTE: Every calculation is done on a confirmed closed candle bar state, so the indicator will never repaint!

Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!).
>>> Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/trunning, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | SL (Stop-Loss) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set for the remaining of the trade ||| 2) Dynamic – At trade open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set the same way, however once 1st Take-Profit is taken > Stop-Loss is moved to Entry, reducing the risk.
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…
===========================================================================
Take-Profit and Stop-Loss visual example:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) A simply nice intraday trading day for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST) with a single Take-Profit target on each trade.
See how Take-Profit distances increase with price momentum and how Stop-Loss is following the trade reducing the risk!
2) Same intraday trading day for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST) with 3 Take-Profit targets with static Stop-Loss.
3) Same intraday trading day for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST) with 3 Take-Profit targets with dynamic Stop-Loss.
You can see how Stop-Loss was moved once TP1 is taken!
===========================================================================
Trade Analysis and Cleanup Settings

>>>>> Candle Analysis | Candle Color signal confirmation: If closed candle bar color does not match the signal direction > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip opposite candle signals: If closed candle bar color will match the signal direction, but candle structure will be opposite (for example: bearish green hammer, long high stick on top of a small green square) > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip doji candle signals: If closed candle bar will be the uncertain doji > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator) signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, EWO is green or will be at bullish slope (you can select which setting you desire), SHORT if EWO is red or will be at bearish slope.

===========================================================================
Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!).
>>>>> Trading System: 1) Open Until Closed by TP or SL – once the trade is open, it can only be closed by Take-Profit, Stop-Loss or at EOD (if turned on) ||| 2) OCA – Opposite Trade will Open Closing Current Trade – Same as 1), except that when and if an OPPOSITE signal is received > indicator will close current trade immediately (profit or loss) and open a new one(NOTE: This will only happen with an OPPOSITE direction trade!) ||| 3) Open Until Opposite Signal or EOD (if turned on) – This approach is the simplest one, there are no Take-Profits or Stop-Losses, the trade is open until an OPPOSITE signal is received or until EOD (if turned on).
Take-Profit, Stop-Loss and Multi-Profit Settings
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit) ||| 2) Dynamic – Once the trade is open, only the 1st Take-Profit target is calculated, once the 1st Take-Profit is hit > next Take-Profit distance is calculated based on the distance from trade Entry to where 1st Take-Profit was taken, once 2nd Take-Profit is taken > 3rd Take-Profit is calculated per same logic, these are good for price momentum as with price speeding up – profits increase as well!
NOTE: Below 2 settings, each correspond to only 1 setting of the TP (Take-Profit) System, please pay attention to the above TP system setting before changing SL settings!
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | SL (Stop-Loss) System : 1) Static – Once the trade is open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set for the remaining of the trade ||| 2) Dynamic – At trade open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set the same way, however once 1st Take-Profit is taken > Stop-Loss is moved to Entry, reducing the risk.
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | SL (Stop-Loss) System : 1) Static - Once the trade is open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set for the remaining of the trade ||| 2) Dynamic – At trade open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set the same way, however with each Take-Profit taken, Stop-Loss will be moved to previous Take-Profit (TP1 taken > SL:Entry | TP2 taken > SL:TP1 | TP3 taken > SL:TP2 | TP4 taken > SL:TP3 | TP5 taken > trade closed), this is basically a smart Stop-Loss trailing system!
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If “3) Open Until Opposite Signal or EOD (if turned on)” Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…

Dynamic/Static Take-Profit and Stop-Loss visual examples:
1) Fully Dynamic Take-Profit and Stop-Loss setup for BTCUSD
See how Take-Profit distances increase with price momentum and how Stop-Loss is following the trade reducing the risk!
2) Static/Dynamic, Static Take-Profit and Dynamic Stop-Loss setup for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST)
You can see a static Take-Profit set at position open, while Stop-Loss is semi-dynamic adjusting to Entry once TP1 target is taken!
3) Fully Static Take-Profit and Stop-Loss setup for SPY (S&P500 ETF TRUST)
This one is a fully static setup for both Take-Profit and Stop-Loss, you can also observe how trade is closed right before the Power Hour (trade can be closed right before Power Hour or right before Market Closes or left overnight as you desire).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trade Analysis and Cleanup Settings
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Candle Color signal confirmation: If closed candle bar color does not match the signal direction > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip opposite candle signals: If closed candle bar color will match the signal direction, but candle structure will be opposite (for example: bearish green hammer, long high stick on top of a small green square) > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip doji candle signals: If closed candle bar will be the uncertain doji > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator) signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, EWO is green or will be at bullish slope (you can select which setting you desire), SHORT if EWO is red or will be at bearish slope.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | VWAP signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above VWAP, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | Moving Average signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above selected Moving Average, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | ATR signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above ATR, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | RSI + MACD signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, RSI + MACD will be bullish, SHORT if RSI + MACD will be bearish.
