Sample Strategy: MACD Crossover with trend filter options
MA Filter : Price Close Above MA, Search for Buy, Price Close Below MA, Search for Sell ADX Filter : Take trade only when ADX is above certain treshold MACD Signal : MACD Cross above signal line while under 0 line indicate Buy Signal MACD Cross below signal line while above 0 line indicate Sell Signal
----------------------------- Using Alert Module:
Enable Alert --> Enable TV's alert and plot signal to chart Alert Type --> Set to take Buy only, Sell only or Both alert
---------------------------- Using Backtest Module:
Enable Backtest --> Enable Backtest simulation Backtest Type --> Set to take Buy only, Sell only or Both SL Type --> ATR : Set SL in ATR times Multiplier below/above entry price Fixed : Set SL in fixed point below entry point (in 'Dollar'). e.g. for Stocks -> 0.5 equals to 50cent while for EURUSD currency -> 0.005 equal to 50 pips HiLo Bar : Set SL at highest/lowest wick of previous [x] bar plus/minus Fixed point. e.g. EURUSD HiLo=3 and Fixed Point = 0.0005, buy trade will place SL 5 Pips below lowest of previous 3 bar
SL ATR Period --> Set Lookback Period used for SL's ATR calculation SL ATR Multi --> Set ATR Multiplier for SL SL Fixed --> Set Fixed Level for SL (Use when SL Type is either Fixed or HiLo Bar) SL Bar --> Set Number of previous bar to check for SL placement TP RR Ratio --> Set TP based on RR multiplier. e.g. 2 means TP level will be twice further from entry point compared to Entry-SL distance.
Notes: The point is for preliminary testing, so it only supports 1 trade at a time and no Trailing Stop
---------------------------- Disclaimer: This script main objective is to create my personal indicator template so that i just have to modify the indicator module for preliminary testing in future.
Testing Alert Module so i can re-use it as template in future study/indicator Testing Visual Backtest Module so i can re-use it as template in future study/indicator
i believe using Strategy function is a better approach for this but the entry/exit level seems to be hit n miss (at least for me, still trying to figure what i did wrong) also, i rather code the strategy in other platform where i can use the more accurate tick data if i want to validate backtest statistics. My study scripts was built only to test/visualize an idea to see its viability and if it can be used to optimize existing strategy.
credit: ADX code are originally from "ADX and DI" by @BeikabuOyaji although i re-wrote so i can have cleaner read and use RMA instead of SMA

Backtesting & Trading Engine Signal Line • An invisible plot named "BTE Signal" is provided. It can be used as an entry signal when connected to the PineCoders Backtesting & Trading Engine (click to read their full documentation) as an external input. It will generate an entry whenever a marker is displayed.
i just found out about PineCoders very own Backtest Engine so i decided to enable it in my study template. Updated description as below:
Using [PineCoders] Backtest Engine Module: External Signal Protocol --> Set ESP State to send to "Backtesting & Trading Engine [PineCoders]" Signal With Filter --> Use this to send entry signal that already filtered by this study indicator (without stoploss level) Signal Without Filter --> Use this to send raw entry signal that are NOT YET FILTERED by this study indicator (without stoploss level) Signal and Stop With Filter --> Use this to send entry signal WITH StopLoss that already filtered by this study indicator (with stoploss level) Signal and Stop Without Filter --> Use this to send raw entry signal WITH StopLoss that are NOT YET FILTERED by this study indicator (with stoploss level)
Notes: Backtesting & Trading Engine [PineCoders] already have built-in Filter, Entries and Stop Level. e.g. Unselect all their filter state if only want to use custom filter and make sure send Signal with Filter (with or without SL level)
I want strategy tester for this script it will help when we test different settings

Love this script, but I can't seem to enable MA filter. I use a 200EMA fitler with it enabled in the settings, but buy/sell signals still appear regardless of the position of the 200 EMA.
Any users have any tips for this?
