Negroni Opening Range StrategyStrategy Summary:
This tool can be used to help identify breakouts from a range during a time-zone of your choosing. It plots a pre-market range, an opening range, it also includes moving average levels that can be used as confluence, as well as plotting previous day SESSION highs and lows.
There are several options on how you wish to close out the trades, all described in more detail below.
Back-testing Inputs:
You define your timezone.
You define how many trades to open on any given day.
You decide to go: long only, short only, or long & short (CAREFUL: "Long & Short" can open trades that effectively closes-out existing ones, for better AND worse!)
You define between which times the strategy will open trades.
You define when it closes any open trades (preventing overnight trades, or leaving trades open into US data times!!).
This hopefully helps make back-testing reflect YOUR trading hours.
NOTE: Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts
For ALL strategies, don’t use Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts unless you know EXACTLY the implications.
Specific to my strategy, using a renko chart can make this 85-90% profitable (I wish it was!!) Although they can be useful, renko charts don’t always capture real wicks, so the renko chart may show your trade up-only but your broker (who is not using renko!!) will have likely stopped you out on a wick somewhere along the line.
NOTE: TradingView ‘Deep backtesting’
For ALL strategies, be cynical of all backtesting (e.g. repainting issues etc) as well as ‘Deep backtesting’ results.
Specific to this strategy, the default settings here SHOULD BE OK, but unfortunately at the time of writing, we can’t see on the chart what exactly ‘deep backtesting’ is calculating. In the past I have noted a number of trades that were not closed at the end of the day, despite my ‘end of day’ trade closing being enabled, so there were big winners and losers that would not have materialized otherwise. As I say, this seems ok at these settings but just always be cynical!!
Opening Range Inputs
You define a pre-market range (example: 08:00 - 09:00).
You define an opening range (example: 09:00 - 09:30).
The strategy will give an update at the close of the opening range to let you know if the opening range has broken out the pre-market range (OR Breakout), or if it has remained inside (OR Inside). The label appears at the end of the opening range NOT at the bar that ‘broke-out’.
This is just a visual cue for you, it has no bearing on what the strategy will do.
The strategy default will trade off the pre-market range, but you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range.
Opening Trades:
Strategy goes long when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-over the ‘pre-market’ high (not the ‘opening range’ high); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Strategy goes short when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-under the ‘pre-market’ low (not the ‘opening range low); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Remember, you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range instead.
NOTES:
Using momentum indicators can help (RSI and MACD): especially to trade range plays in failed breakouts, when momentum shifts… but the strategy won’t do this for you!
Using an anchored vwap at the session open can also provide nice confluence, as well as take-profit levels at the upper/lower of 3x standard deviation.
CLOSING TRADES:
You have 6 take-profit (TP) options:
1) Full TP: uses ATR Multiplier - Full TP at the ATR parameters as defined in inputs.
2) Take Partial profits: ATR Multiplier - Takes partial profits based on parameters as defined in inputs (i.e close 40% of original trade at TP1, close another 40% of original trade at TP2, then the remainder at Full TP as set in option 1.).
3) Full TP: Trailing Stop - Applies a Trailing Stop at the number of points, as defined in inputs.
4) Full TP: MA cross - Takes profit when price crosses ‘Trend MA’ as defined in inputs.
5) Scalp: Points - closes at a set number of points, as defined in inputs.
6) Full TP: PMKT Multiplier - places a SL at opposite pre-market Hi/Low (we go long at a break-out of the pre-market high, 50% would place a SL at the pre-market range mid-point; 100% would place a SL at the pre-market low)'. This takes profit at the input set in option 1).

Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend - Strategy [presentTrading]The code is mainly developed for me to stimulate the multi-step taking profit function for strategies. The result shows the drawdown can be reduced but at the same time reduced the profit as well. It can be a heuristic for futures leverage traders.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend" is a trading strategy designed to leverage the power of multiple steps to optimize trade entries and exits across the Supertrend indicator. Unlike traditional strategies that rely on single entry and exit points, this strategy employs a multi-step approach to take profit, allowing traders to lock in gains incrementally. Additionally, the strategy is adaptable to both long and short trades, providing a comprehensive solution for dynamic market conditions.
This template strategy lies in its dual Supertrend calculation, which enhances the accuracy of trend detection and provides more reliable signals for trade entries and exits. This approach minimizes false signals and increases the overall profitability of trades by ensuring that positions are entered and exited at optimal points.
BTC 6h L/S Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The "Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend Trader" strategy utilizes two Supertrend indicators calculated with different parameters to determine the direction and strength of the market trend. This dual approach increases the robustness of the signals, reducing the likelihood of entering trades based on false signals. Here is a detailed breakdown of how the strategy operates:
🔶 Supertrend Indicator Calculation
The Supertrend indicator is a trend-following overlay on the price chart, typically used to identify the direction of the trend. It is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) to ensure that the indicator adapts to market volatility. The formula for the Supertrend indicator is:
Upper Band = (High + Low) / 2 + (Factor * ATR)
Lower Band = (High + Low) / 2 - (Factor * ATR)
Where:
- High and Low are the highest and lowest prices of the period.
- Factor is a user-defined multiplier.
- ATR is the Average True Range over a specified period.
The Supertrend changes its direction based on the closing price in relation to these bands.
🔶 Entry-Exit Conditions
The strategy enters long positions when both Supertrend indicators signal an uptrend, and short positions when both indicate a downtrend. Specifically:
- Long Condition: Supertrend1 < 0 and Supertrend2 < 0
- Short Condition: Supertrend1 > 0 and Supertrend2 > 0
- Long Exit Condition: Supertrend1 > 0 and Supertrend2 > 0
- Short Exit Condition: Supertrend1 < 0 and Supertrend2 < 0
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit Mechanism
The strategy features a multi-step take profit mechanism, which allows traders to lock in profits incrementally. This is achieved through four user-configurable take profit levels. For each level, the strategy specifies a percentage increase (for long trades) or decrease (for short trades) in the entry price at which a portion of the position is exited:
- Step 1: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent1 / 100)
- Step 2: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent2 / 100)
- Step 3: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent3 / 100)
- Step 4: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent4 / 100)
This staggered exit strategy helps in locking profits at multiple levels, thereby reducing risk and increasing the likelihood of capturing the maximum possible profit from a trend.
BTC Local
█ Trade Direction
The strategy is highly flexible, allowing users to specify the trade direction. There are three options available:
- Long Only: The strategy will only enter long trades.
- Short Only: The strategy will only enter short trades.
- Both: The strategy will enter both long and short trades based on the Supertrend signals.
This flexibility allows traders to adapt the strategy to various market conditions and their own trading preferences.
█ Usage
1. Add the strategy to your trading platform and apply it to the desired chart.
2. Configure the take profit settings under the "Take Profit Settings" group.
3. Set the trade direction under the "Trade Direction" group.
4. Adjust the Supertrend settings in the "Supertrend Settings" group to fine-tune the indicator calculations.
5. Monitor the chart for entry and exit signals as indicated by the strategy.
█ Default Settings
- Use Take Profit: True
- Take Profit Percentages: Step 1 - 6%, Step 2 - 12%, Step 3 - 18%, Step 4 - 50%
- Take Profit Amounts: Step 1 - 12%, Step 2 - 8%, Step 3 - 4%, Step 4 - 0%
- Number of Take Profit Steps: 3
- Trade Direction: Both
- Supertrend Settings: ATR Length 1 - 10, Factor 1 - 3.0, ATR Length 2 - 11, Factor 2 - 4.0
These settings provide a balanced starting point, which can be customized further based on individual trading preferences and market conditions.
Pullback_Power [JackTz]Welcome to Pullback_Power
Pullback_Power is a scalping strategy designed to capitalize on market retracements while incorporating unique dynamic features to enhance profitability.
Calculation
Pullback_Power purely uses moving averages to calculate both entry and exits. Exits can also be set to fixed percentages for both take profit and stop loss.
How the Strategy Works
Statistics show that markets normally do a recovery after each drop. Crypto markets can easily drop up to 20% within a few hours and then do a complete or partial recovery. Pullback_Power utilizes this known pattern alongside pyramiding. The strategy aims to catch one or more entries when the price drops, hoping to make profits when the market recovers from the drop. The fixed take profit and stop loss can be used to define your risk management, while the dynamic exit opportunity is riskier but provides the ability to stay in the trade longer while it recovers. Pullback_Power can make up to four entries. This means it utilizes pyramiding to spread out the entry points, but every exit is a full exit. It is not possible to partially exit.
Utility
Pullback_Power is a scalping strategy suitable for traders who operate with small trades and don't want to stay in the market for too long. Pullback_Power offers precise signals with no repainting. The strategy thrives in volatility, so crypto pairs might yield the best results, although this strategy can be adapted to work on all pairs and markets.
How to Automate It
Pullback_Power utilizes the standard placeholders of strategies on TradingView. This enables the trader to add every data point into a webhook, making it fully flexible to suit every trader's needs. To automate, create an alert, set the webhook URL, and add the JSON body needed for the webhook. An example of a simple JSON webhook with some of the standard strategy placeholders:
{
"side": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
"symbol": "{{ticker}}",
"amount": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}"
}
Read about all the standard placeholders that you can use here: TradingView - Standard strategy placeholders
Originality
Pullback_Power is unique in its ability to create precise signals without repainting while maintaining a solid approach to the pullback strategy. Its simplicity not only makes the strategy easy to use and understand but also highly effective. The simplicity reduces inputs, eliminating overfitting and limits each input to avoid incorrect usage. Many times, default settings are enough to achieve good backtesting results on almost all pairs available. Pullback_Power also differs from many other strategies by its solid code, which enhances performance and provides more reliable backtesting. The clean code increases the resilience and precision of the entries, making it less prone to errors.
Many pullback/scalping strategies normally only works on specific scopes of timeframes or pairs. Pullback_Power can easily be adapted to work on almost every scenario. The biggest change needed is the length of the moving average. The lower the timeframe, the higher a length is needed for proper results. I.e. on a 2H timeframe a length of 3 can yield good results. On a 5min timeframe the length might need to be as high as 70.
How to Use
To use Pullback_Power, add the script to your trading chart. By default, Pullback_Power opens four orders to optimize trade opportunities with a default fee value set at 0.1%. You can change these default settings in the Settings window under the Properties tab. To tailor Pullback_Power to your individual trading style, navigate to the Settings under the Input tab. Here you can configure various inputs to fit your trading style.
- Backtest settings , Start Date:
Defines the date of when the calculation starts. Use this to set the date of when the first trade could potentially emit.
- Backtest settings , End Date:
Defines the date of when the calculation ends. If there are any open trades after this date the close calculations are still live. It only makes sure that new orders cannot be opened after this date.
- Backtest settings , Only trade on weekdays:
This is a toggle you can enable or disable. If enabled it only allows new entries to happen during the normal week days, meaning Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Disable this to enable the script to open trades on all 7 days of the week.
- Open settings , Use dynamic long positions:
This toggle allows you to enable or disable the pullback level calculations after first trade.
If enabled, the calculations of level 2, 3 and 4 continues to happen after each bar, making the levels follow the price with the moving averages calculations.
If disabled, the calculations of the levels stop after the first trade. This means that the levels calculation at the point of the first trade stay fixed until all trades are closed.
You can see the difference of the green lines on the chart when you toggle this flag.
- Open settings , Data type:
This is the bar data used for the moving average calculation when opening trades. The possible data types are Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4, OC2 and HC2.
- Open settings , Source type:
This is the source used to calculate the moving average. The types available are: SMA, PCMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, ZLEMA and HMA.
- Open settings , Length:
This is the length used for the moving average calculations. 3 means it takes the last 3 bars of historical data for the calculation.
- Open settings , Offset:
This defines if the calculation should use an offset for the historical data. This does not use a look-forward feature, but a look-backward feature. To prevent any possible repaints the offset can only be positive, not negative.
For instance, if the length is 3 and the offset is 0 the calculation is made from the last 3 bars, making it bar1, bar2 and bar3. If the length is 3 and the offset is 1 the calculation is made from bar2, bar3, and bar4 – offsetting the calculation by 1 bar.
- Leverage settings , Leverage liquidation (1-125):
The script itself does not handle any custom leverage calculation – this must be done in the Properties tabs and increasing the order size.
This setting is made to test a possible liquidation event if using leverage.
By setting this to higher than 1, a red line is visible after the first trade on the chart. This indicates the liquidation price.
If this setting is set to 25, the script will calculate the liquidation price from a x25 leverage. If this price is hit, the scripts stops emitting any orders and the background turns red.
You can use this to test if your settings could handle a certain level of leverage.
- Pullback settings , Pullback 1, 2, 3 and 4:
Each of these settings defines the entry price of each pullback level. If Pullback 1 is set to -6 it means that the moving average calculation should be 6% lower than the actual price.
The same logic applies to Pullback 2, 3 and 4.
Setting any level to 0 will disable the level – eliminating any orders to emit on that level.
This can be used to change the level of pyramiding down from 4 if needed.
If you do this, remember to also change the order size and the pyramiding value in the Properties tab accordingly.
- Close settings , Use dynamic TP and SL:
If enabled, script will exit all orders using the same but separate algorithm for moving averages. This enables the user to define if you want the orders to be closed if the price level of this moving average is hit. The price level for this calculation is visible on the chart by the blue line.
Although you can change the length and offset, as described underneath, this calculation uses the same data and source type defined in the Open settings area.
- Close settings , Length, Close:
This is the length used for the closing moving average calculations. 3 means it takes the last 3 bars of historical data for the calculation.
- Close settings , Offset, Close:
This defines if the calculation for the closing moving average should use an offset for the historical data. Just as the offset used for opening order, this does not use a look-forward feature, but a look-backward feature. To prevent any possible repaints the offset can only be positive, not negative.
For instance, if the length is 3 and the offset is 0 the calculation is made from the last 3 bars, making it bar1, bar2 and bar3. If the length is 3 and the offset is 1 the calculation is made from bar2, bar3, and bar4 – offsetting the calculation by 1 bar.
- Close settings , Use TakeProfit:
This toggle enables/disables a fixed take profit percentage.
- Close settings , TP %:
This sets the wanted % to reach on a take profit. This setting is ignored if the toggle above is disabled.
- Close settings , Use StopLoss:
This toggle enables/disables a fixed stop loss percentage.
- Close settings , SL %:
This sets the wanted % to reach on a stop loss. This setting is ignored if the toggle above is disabled.
Exit on Same Bar as Entry
By default, the script doesn't emit any exit orders on the same bar as the first entry order. Enable "Recalculation: After order is filled" to change this behavior.
Troubleshooting
While Pullback_Power is designed to provide reliable trading signals, you may encounter rare issues. One such issue could be receiving an error message stating "can't open orders with 0 or negative qty." If you encounter this error, it is likely due to specific conditions on the selected timeframe. To resolve this issue, change the timeframe on your trading chart.
Underlying Principles and Value Proposition
Pullback_Power leverages moving averages and volatility behavior to identify market retracements and capitalize on them. The strategy is rooted in the understanding that markets often experience temporary reversals or "pullbacks" before resuming their primary trend. By identifying these pullbacks and entering trades at opportune moments, Pullback_Power aims to capture quick profits from short-term market movements.
The dynamic and fixed calculations of Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels enhances risk management, ensuring that potential losses are controlled while allowing room for profits to grow. The adaptive approach using the moving averages considers current market conditions, making the strategy flexible and responsive to changing volatility.
Moreover, Pullback_Power's non-repainting nature ensures the reliability of its signals, eliminating hindsight bias and providing traders with actionable insights based on real-time market data.
The strategy's simplicity and effectiveness make it accessible for traders of all experience levels. Whether you're a beginner looking to start scalping or an experienced trader seeking to diversify your trading approach, Pullback_Power offers a balanced blend of simplicity and sophistication to help you navigate the markets with confidence.
By focusing on clear, transparent principles and offering practical tools for risk management, Pullback_Power aims to provide tangible value to traders, empowering them to make informed decisions and optimize their trading outcomes.
Thank you for choosing Pullback_Power. I wish you successful trading!
Self Optimizing ROC [Starbots]Self Optimizing Rate of Change (ROC) Strategy. (non-repainting)
Script constantly tests 15 different ROC parameter combinations for maximum profitability and trades based on the best performing combination.
You will notice that signal lines switch after a bar close sometimes, this is when the strategy optimizes to the better combination and change plots, strategy is dynamic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rate-of-Change (ROC) indicator, which is also referred to as Momentum, is a pure momentum oscillator that measures the percent change in price from one period to the next. The ROC calculation compares the current price with the price “n” periods ago. The plot forms an oscillator that fluctuates above and below the zero line as the rate of change moves from positive to negative. As a momentum oscillator, ROC signals include centerline crossovers, divergences, and overbought-oversold readings.
ROC = (Close - Close n periods ago) / (Close n periods ago) * 100
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The logic of self - optimizing:
This script is always backtesting 15 different combinations of ROC settings in the background and saves the net. profit gained for every single one of them, then strategy selects and use the best performing combination of settings currently available for you to trade.
It's recalculating on every bar close - if one of the parameters starts performing better than others - have a higher net profit gain (it's literally like running 15 backtests with different settings in the background) strategy switches to that parameter and continues trading like that until one of the other indicator parameters starts performing better again and switches to that settings.
We are optimizing our strategy based on 15 different 'lengths' or also called 'periods' of ROC.
Inputs (ROC period) : (you don't need to change them, you have a nice wide variety of periods)
🔴Roc (default=9) = 5
🟢Roc2 = 6
🔵Roc3 = 7
🟡Roc4 = 8
🟣Roc5 = 9
🟠Roc6 = 10
🔴Roc7 = 11
🟢Roc8 = 12
🔵Roc9 = 13
🟡Roc10 = 14
🟣Roc11 = 15
🟠Roc12 = 16
🟡Roc13 = 17
🟣Roc14 = 18
🟠Roc15 = 20
Backtester in the background works like this:
backtest ROC1 => save net. profit
backtest ROC2 => save net. profit ;
backtest ROC3 => save net. profit ;
..........
..........
backtest ROC15 => save net. profit ;
=>
It will backtest 15 different ROC parameters and save their profits.
Your strategy then trades based on the best performing (highest net.profit) ROC Setting currently available. It will check the calculations and backtest them on every new bar close - it's like running 15 strategies at time, and manually selecting the best performing one.

-- Noise Filter - This will punish the tiny trades made by certain parameters and give more advantage to big average trades. It's basically normal fee calculation, it will deduct 0.xx % fee from every trade when optimizing. You usually want it to have the same number as your fees on exchange. Large number will choose big long swing trades, small number will prioritize small scalping trades.
-- Turn on ROC Combination Profits and spot the worst/best performing combination. You can change periods to get the best performance after checking this table stats.
-- Backtesting Range - backtest within your desired time window. Example: 'from 01 / 01 /2020 to 01 / 01 /2023'.
-- Optimizing range - you can decrease the amount of bars/data for optimizing script. This way you can keep it up to date to more recent market by selecting optimizing range to optimize it just from the recent 3-6months of data for example. Strategy before this selected range will normally trade (backtest) based on the first ROC period ( 'Roc(default=9)' Input) parameter in your menu if you have Optimizing Range turned on.
**** I recommend 'Optimizing Range' to be turned off, use max amount of available bars in your history for optimization script.
-- Strategy is trading on the bar close without repaint. You can trade Long-Sell or Long- Short. Alerts available, insert webhook messages.

Self Optimizing PSAR [Starbots]Self Optimizing Parabolic SAR Strategy (non-repainting)
Strategy constantly backtest 169 different combinations of Parabolic SAR indicator for maximum profitability and trades based on the best performing combination at that time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Parabolic SAR (PSAR)
Parabolic SAR is a time and price technical analysis tool created by J. Welles Wilder and it's primarily used to identify points of potential stops and reverses. In fact, the SAR in Parabolic SAR stands for "Stop and Reverse". The indicator's calculations create a parabola which is located below price during a Bullish Trend and above Price during a Bearish Trend.
You can read more about this indicator here:
www.tradingview.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The logic of self - optimizing:
This script is always backtesting 169 different combinations of Parabolic SAR settings in the background and saves the net. profit gained for every single one of them, then strategy selects and use the best performing combination of settings currently available for you to trade.
It's recalculating on every bar close - if one of the parameters starts performing better than others - have a higher net profit gain (it's literally like running 169 backtests with different settings) strategy switches to that parameter and continues trading like that until one of the other indicator parameters starts performing better again and switches to that settings.
We are optimizing our strategy based on 13 different 'Increment' factors of PSAR. We keep the 'Start' factor (default 0.02) and 'Max Value' factor (default 0.2) at default for all of them.
According to creator of this indicator J. Welles Wilder, we usually want to change only 'Increment' factors of PSAR in the calculation and leave the rest at default and that's what we do, we are changing only 'Increment' input.
Inputs : (you don't need to change them at all, it's a good balance for fast and slow detection of trends on PSAR)
Start = 0.02
Max value = 0.2
Increment1 = 0.005, Increment2 = 0.01, Increment3 = 0.015
Increment4 = 0.02, Increment5 = 0.025, Increment6 = 0.03
Increment7 = 0.035, Increment8 = 0.04, Increment9 = 0.045
Increment10 = 0.05, Increment11 = 0.055, Increment12 = 0.06
Increment13 = 0.065
PSAR buy / sell conditions looks like this:
PSAR1 = start 0.02, max value 0.2, increment1 0.005
PSAR2 = start 0.02, max value 0.2, increment2 0.01
PSAR3 = start 0.02, max value 0.2, increment3 0.015
PSAR4 = start 0.02, max value 0.2, increment3 0.02
...
PSAR13 = start 0.02, max value 0.2, increment13 0.065
Backtester in the background works like this:
backtest buying PSAR1 settings with selling PSAR1 settings => save net. profit
backtest buy PSAR1 with sell PSAR2 ;
backtest buy PSAR1 with sell PSAR3 ;
backtest buy PSAR1 with sell PSAR4 ;
..........
backtest buy PSAR1 with sell PSAR13 ;
..........
backtest buy PSAR13 with sell PSAR1 ;
backtest buy PSAR13 with sell PSAR2 ;
......
backtest buy PSAR13 with sell PSAR13 ;
=>
It will backtest 16x16=169 different PSAR settings and save their profits.
Your strategy then trades based on the best performing (highest net.profit) PSAR Setting currently available. It will check the calculations and backtest them on every new bar close - it's like running 169 strategies at time, and manually selecting the best performing one.
________________________________________________________________________
If you wish to use it as INDICATOR - turn on 'Recalculate after every tick' in Properties tab to have this script updating constantly and use it as a normal Indicator tool for manual trading.
Strategy example is backtested on Daily chart of SHIBUSDT Binance
All settings at default. (1000 capital, 100 order size, 0.1% fee, 1 tick slippage)
Settings:
-Start = default Parabolic SAR setting is 0.02
-Max Value = default Parabolic SAR setting is 0.2
--Recommended PSAR Increment settings:
0.02 is default, higher timeframes usually performs good on the faster Increment factors 0.03-0.05+, smaller timeframes on slow Increment factors 0.005-0.02. I recommend you the most common and logical 13 different Increment factors for optimizing in the strategy as default already (from 0.005 to 0.065 - strategy will then optimize and trade based on the most profitable combination).
- Noise-Intensity Filter 🐎0.00-0.20%🐢
This will punish the tiny trades made by certain combinations and give more advantage to big average trades. It's basically like fee calculation, it will deduct 0.xx% fee from every trade when optimizing on their backtests.
You will usually want to have it around 0.05-0.10% like your fees on exchange.
-> 🐎Less than <0.10% allows strategy to be VERY SENSITIVE to market. (a lot of trades - quick buy-sell changes)
-> 🐢More than >0.10% will slow down the strategy, it will be LESS SENSITIVE to market volatility. (less trades - slowly switches the trend direction from buy to sell)
Close Trades on Neutral
After a lot of Trades, Algo starts developing self-intelligence. It can also have a neutral score. (Grey Plots). Sell when the strategy is neutral.
Other settings:
-Take Profit, Multiple Take Profit, Trailing Take Profit, Stop Loss, Trailing Stop Loss with functional alerts.
-Backtesting Range - backtest within your desired time window. Example: 'from 01 / 01 /2020 to 01 / 01 /2023'.
- Strategy is trading on the bar close without repaint. You can trade Long-Sell/Short Sell or Long-Short both directions. Alerts available, insert webhook messages in the inputs.
- Turn on Profit Calendar for better overview of how your strategy performs monthly/annualy
- Notes window : add your custom comments in here or save your webhook message text inside here for later use. I find this helpful to save texts inside.
Recommended TF : 4h, 8h, 1d (Trend Indicators are good at detecting directions of the market, but we can have a lot of noise and false movements on charts, you want to avoid that and ride the long term movements)
This script is fairly simple to use. It's self-optimizing and adjusting to the markets on the go.
[Opening Range Breakout] S&R Strategy with Backtest (TSO) S&R Strategy with Backtest (TSO)
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
This indicator serves as a comprehensive full-cycle trading system, providing alerts at each stage of the trade, from opening to closure. The algorithm initiates by calculating the Opening/Pre-Market Price Range, waiting for a breakout to generate signals, and establishing TP (Take Profit and SL (Stop Loss) levels. The Opening/Pre-Market range, known for its robust support and resistance levels, is a key element. To filter out false breakouts and capture valid ones, the indicator incorporates a Smart Breakout feature, requiring confirmation through an initial breakout, a confirmation bounce, and a subsequent confirmation breakout. The indicator offers a variety of automated approaches for TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss) settings. These include leveraging opening range levels, both the most recent and historical S&R (Support and Resistance) levels, and an ATR (Average True Range) trailing stop-loss. This diverse set of tools ensure flexibility in tailoring TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss) parameters to different market conditions, contributing to a more adaptive and robust trading system. Additionally, a series of signal analysis tools, including candle bar analysis, divergence, and volume, enhance the precision of trading signals.
* Works with popular timeframes: 1M, 3M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 45M, 1H.
* Works best with Indices, Stocks, and Commodities, since there is pre-market price movement, which is used to obtain support and resistance price range.
* Every action of the trade is calculated on a confirmed closed candle bar state (barstate.isconfirmed), so the indicator will never repaint.

>>>>> This feature can be used to manually set indicator trading range from and to a specific date and time. NOTE: This is not intended for a very long date range backtesting, utilize TradingView Strategy Tester for that.
* 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 - manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Deep Backtesting” feature!

TRADE SIGNAL CONFIGURATION ////////////////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Opening Range - Time Period (ET): Opening/Pre-Market Range time, which by default is set to US Session Pre-Market Range, can be customized to any time range as there are different market hours around the world and this setting can be customized to any time. Pre-Market Time/Price Range Hours(ET) | Pre-Market EU/Asia Hours: 4:00-9:30 ET | Pre-Market US (NY) Hours: 7:00-9:30 ET | Post-Market US Hours: 16:00-19:00 ET | First US Market Hour: 9:30-10:30 ET | Power Hour: 15:00-16:00)
>>> Opening Range - Levels Structure: determines how the price range is calculated, based on the highest/lowest price zones or based on the candle body bar.
>>> Opening Range - Breakout System: "Simple": bar close price has to simply break the opening range level | "Smart": After initial breakout (which is basically 'Simple' Breakout), a price come back is expected to the opening range level, a bounce, then a confirmation breakout with price closing ahead of the initial breakout.
>>>>> Opening Range - Smart Breakout: # of bars until Initial Breakout becomes invalid
>>>>> Opening Range - Smart Breakout: Bounce Settings, "Cross-Return" - LONG: Price has to cross down the initial breakout S&R, but never close below it; SHORT: Price has to cross up the initial breakout S&R, but then close above it; ||| "Cross-Close-Return" - LONG: At least 1 candle has to close below initial breakout S&R; SHORT: At least 1 candle has to close above initial breakout S&R.
>>>>> Alerts - Opening Range - Smart Breakout: Confirmation Bounce Alert. Trigger an alert at confirmation bounce. This is for live trading (especially scalping) Smart Breakout approach - to get ready to open the trade in the correct direction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAKE-PROFIT/STOP-LOSS CONFIGURATION ///////////////////////////////////////
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): S&R Search - Left Bars: This setting is for calculating optimal S&R (Support and Resistance) levels (in combination with below - Right Bars) for S&R (Support and Resistance) TP (Take-Profit) levels calculations. NOTE: if at any point - there will be no available S&R (Support & Resistance) found for SL (Stop-Loss, 'S&R-Dynamic-SL' or 'S&R-Static-SL' setting, since both settings search for optimal SL (Stop-Loss) at trade open) or TP (Take-Profit, at any setting, since at trade open, an optimal TP (Take-Profit) level is searched) > SL (Stop-Loss) will automatically switch to trailing ATR-Trailing-SL and the trade will continue to run until it either hits ATR-Trailing-SL (Stop-Loss) or closes at EOD (End of Day).
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): S&R Search - Right Bars: This setting is for calculating optimal S&R (Support and Resistance) levels (in combination with above - Left Bars) for S&R (Support and Resistance) TP (Take-Profit) levels calculations. NOTE: if at any point - there will be no available S&R (Support & Resistance) found for SL (Stop-Loss, 'S&R-Dynamic-SL' or 'S&R-Static-SL' setting, since both settings search for optimal SL (Stop-Loss) at trade open) or TP (Take-Profit, at any setting, since at trade open, an optimal TP (Take-Profit) level is searched) > SL (Stop-Loss) will automatically switch to trailing ATR-Trailing-SL and the trade will continue to run until it either hits ATR-Trailing-SL (Stop-Loss) or closes at EOD (End of Day).
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): S&R Search - Custom Resolution: This is a custom timeframe setting specifically for S&R Search, it disregards current chart timeframe. This is great to use for scalping, for example: with main chart set to 1min and the custom timeframe set to 3min or 5min - there will be stronger support/resistance levels with more detailed price action.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): # of Bars (5000 max) to search back for optimal Support and Resistance levels: This is how many candles will be searched backwards for previous S&Rs (Support and Resistance) to find the optimal levels for TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss). NOTE: If SL (Stop-Loss) System is set to 'ATR-Trailing-SL' - this setting is only relevant for searching TP (Take-Profit) levels.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) and SL (Stop-Loss): At Trade Open - No S&R (Support and Resistance) found behavior: 'Skip Trade': If at trade open there are no S&R (Support and Resistance) levels for TP1 (Take-Profit 1) or SL (Stop-Loss) - trade is skipped. 'Open/ATR-Trailing-SL': If at trade open there are no S&R (Support and Resistance) levels for TP1 (Take-Profit 1) or SL (Stop-Loss), the trade will still be open with SL (Stop-Loss) set to 'ATR-Trailing-SL'.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) System: Pre-Market-Range-TP: All TP (Take-Profit) targets are calculated at trade open using the distance between Support and Resistance per Opening Pre-market Range and then divided by TP (Take-Profit) Divider, which can be set below; S&R-Current-Optimal-TP1: TP1 (Take-Profit) level is set per currently available S&R (Support & Resistance), if none available - historical S&R (Support & Resistance) levels will be searched, remaining TP (Take-Profit) targets (if selected, up to 5 # of TPs) are searched through most recent closest historical S&R (Support & Resistance) levels; S&R-Historic-Optimal-TP1: TP1 (Take-Profit) level is set per historically most recent closest available S&R (Support & Resistance) to the Entry price, remaining TP (Take-Profit) targets (if selected, up to 5 # of TPs) are searched through historical S&R (Support & Resistance) levels as well.
>>> TP (Take-Profit, Pre-Market-Range-TP) Divider #: This is for 'Pre-Market-Range-TP' setting only, where TP (Take-Profit) level is the distance between top/bottom levels of the opening range. It can be reduced by the divider #. (1 - full distance; 2 - 1/2 distance; 3 - 1/3 distance; etc.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) # of targets: It is wise to divide the trade into several profit targets. With this setting - up to 5 TP (Take-Profit) targets can be approached. The trade will be equally divided up by the selected # of TP (Take-Profit) targets.
>>> TP (Take-Profit) target(s) Consumed: Signal Bar consuming Take-Profits - trade signal bar is big enough to 'consume'/close ahead of the first TP setting > the signal can either be skipped, or all Take-Profit targets pushed ahead by average bar size).
>>> TP (Take-Profit) Offset - On/Off: This is a feature where TP (Take-Profit) target will be considered taken even if the price never crosses the target(s), but comes close enough (based on the offset amount). Set the offset amount below.
>>>>> TP (Take-Profit) Offset - Amount: Some Examples: (for SPY 0.1 would be $0.10 offset - if TP1 is $400 and price hits $399.90 > TP1 considered taken/signal shown/alert) | NOTE: For EURUSD, it is very different and if wrong will show TP1 immediately at trade open, typical good offset for EURUSD is: 0.0005 | Similar for BTCUSD, for example: 10 - $10 offset, if TP is $15,000 > $14,990.
>>> SL (Stop-Loss) System: 'Pre-Market-Range-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set to the opposite market range level from trade direction; 'S&R-Static-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set at trade open per optimal most recent S&R level and remains there until trade closes; 'S&R-Dynamic-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is set at a trade open per optimal S&R (Support and Resistance) level from the most recent AND historical S&Rs (Support and Resistance), with every bar closed it will check if there are new S&Rs (Support and Resistance) levels, if these levels appear closer to the current price then current level - it will move SL (Stop-Loss) to that level, therefore reducing the risk; 'ATR-Trailing-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) is trail-following the ATR (Average True Range) line, NOTE: If at signal trigger, ATR will be against the trade direction - trade open signal will be skipped; 'S&R-TP-Entry-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) initially is set per S&R, then moves to Entry price at the very first TP (Take-Profit) hit and remains there until trade closes; 'S&R-TP-Trail-SL': SL (Stop-Loss) initially is set per S&R, then moves to Entry at TP1 (Take-Profit 1) hit, then keeps trailing per previously taken profit targets (TP2 taken, SL moves to TP1 | TP3 taken, SL moves to TP2 | TP4 taken, SL moves to TP3). NOTE: 'ATR-Trailing-SL' will not switch automatically if 'S&R-Dynamic-SL', S&R-TP-Entry-SL', 'S&R-TP-Trail-SL' system is selected, as already the most optimal SL (Stop-Loss) level is calculated - it will switch automatically only with 'S&R-Static-SL' system.
>>> SL (Stop-Loss) - On/Off: Without SL (Stop-Loss), unless EOD (End of Day) Close is turned on - there will be no SL (Stop-Loss) at all!

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!
Broadview Algorithmic StudioWelcome! This is the writeup for the Broadview Algorithmic Studio.
There are many unique features in this script.
- Broadview Underpriced & Overpriced
- Broadview Blackout Bollinger Bands
- Trailing Take Profit Suite
- Algorithmic Weights
- VSA Score
- Pip Change Log
- Activation Panel
- Weight Scanner
There are 116 primary inputs that allow users to algorithmically output unique DCA signal-sets. There are 85 inputs that allow users to control individual lengths, levels, thresholds, and multiplicative weights of the script. You will not find any other script with this many inputs, properly strung together for you to produce unlimited strategies for any market. The entire premise for the Broadview Algorithmic Studio is for users to be able to have extensive-cutting-edge features that allow them to produce more strategies, having control over every element that outputs a signal set. The number of unique strategies you can output with this script is VAST, and each continues to follow a safe DCA methodology.
This script is ready for use with 3Commas, interactive brokers, and other means of automation. It provides detailed information on Base Orders and Safety Orders, giving the number, cumulative spending, position average, and remaining balance for each SO in the series. Using this script we will explore the depths of strategic volume scaling, and the algorithms we use to determine spending.
Let me first start by saying the number of safe DCA-friendly signal-sets this script can output is absolutely staggering.
Let's limit the scope just to the Broadview Underpriced & Overpriced and Broadview Dominance indicators.
Each band of the Dominance Suite can be controlled individually with unique lengths, levels, and weights. This means the Dominance Suite can establish Bearish or Bullish dominance, in any market condition, and give it a unique overloading weight. The Broadview Underpriced & Overpriced indicator finally gives us the ability to establish these "market conditions" first with cycles. Of all the cycles this indicator establishes, the two primary are Underpriced & Overpriced. We determine this using a composite Overbought & Oversold with an Exponential Moving Average. So the script can now know, what cycle it is in, who is dominant during that cycle, and exactly how much weight in volume scaling the order should have.
Brand new is the ability for indicators of this level to be able to talk together in a single script. The Broadview Underpriced & Overpriced indicator and the Broadview Dominance indicator can inform one another across multiple vectors, create a unique market snapshot, and give that snapshot a unique weight every bar. The unique weight is compiled in the volume scaling math, thus giving us an automated-strategic-safe and quite efficient volume scaling for every order. In our coming updates we will explore this synergy to its very deepest layers. These indicators can be laced together in many ways, called vectors.
Only in the Algorithmic Studio do we explore these depths and yield those findings, features, and inputs to the user.
Let me take a quick break to explain another area-of-opportunity for our research and development.
The VSA Score is something we've tried before, but until the creation of the Broadview Blackout Bollinger Bands Auto Indicator it was not possible. The concept we want to explore is "Positional Honing". Over time we want users and the script itself to be able to understand the difference between a script-config that produces a high number of Hits, from a configuration that produces a high number of "Misses". The Volume Scaling Accuracy Score uses the BBB Auto Indicator as a heavily reliable, non-repainting, method of determining what the very-best signals for increased volume-scaling are.
Increased volume scaling is denoted by the near-white highlighter line running vertically. This line will either fall inside the BBB Auto Indicator bands (which are hidden), or, they will fall below and outside the BBB Auto bands. If increased spending happens inside the bands it's a "Miss". If increased spending happens below and outside the bands, it's a Hit. Oftentimes misses are actually pretty good spots for extra spending, which helps lower your position average, but Hits are always better. The Hits that the BBB Auto Indicator provides are extremely good.
Let's talk about the Trailing Take Profit Suite. This suite allows us to set a trailing take profit which is a feature that lets one maximize their profits. If the trailing take profit is engaged, then when the regular take profit is hit, it will trigger, denoted in red vertical lines, and the trailing take profit will look for a specified rate of change before it actually takes profit. This usually helps traders in those times when their regular take profit was set too low, allowing them to maximize their profits with a Trailing Take Profit.
For the moment, let's think about our scores. In the dashboard you'll notice a score beginning the Pip Change Log, the VSA Score, and the Activation Panel.
These scores use a new kind of logistic correlation formula where 4 digits are given to activation, rather than 1. This is to allow room for a future concept in AI we call "Deadzones" or you can think of it as impedance. This is not a bias in logistic regression. It's an entirely different concept. A neuron, which a perceptron attempts to mimic, has a bias.. but it also has a sort of electrical resistance. This is because a neuron is individually-alive entity. So a perceptron, as it were, would need to have both a bias and a natural resistance, or deadzone.
It is a lot of fun to watch the scores and how they react during playback. They tend to smooth trends but are also quite quick to correct to accuracy. In the future we will add the deadzones and biases to the scores. This should help both users and the script produce better signal sets. The Pip Change Log is an indicator that measures Rate of Change in Pips. This is one that I am particularly excited to study, as I am a huge fan of ROC. The Activation Panel shows these scores for 4 primary indicators: On Balance Volume, Relative Strength Index, Average Directional Index, and Average True Range.
Having the Pip Change Log, VSA Score, and Activation Panel up on the dashboard with their logistic correlation scores allows traders to study markets and setups quite intimately. The weight scanner at the bottom allows users to track the cumulative applied multiplicative weights during playback. The massive number of inputs, connected vectors of indicators, input-weights, lengths, levels, and thresholds sets up all the algorithmic infrastructure for powerusers to explore every idea and strategy output they could imagine. Also with the connected vector infrastructure we can deepen our indicators in a way where, "How they talk to each other.", comes first in every development conversation.
The Algorithmic Studio is for the Power-user.
These are not basic equations coming together to determine spending. This is a massive multi-layered-perceptron with everything from Trailing-Take-Profits to strategic-automatic algorithmic downscaling. The Broadview Algorithmic Studio gives a home to the poweruser who wants access to everything in a trading and investing AI, right up until the backpropagation. The Broadview Algorithmic Studio, gives users the ability to sit in the chair of the would-be AI.
Thank you.
Moving Average Rainbow (Stormer)This strategy is based and shown by trader and investor Alexandre Wolwacz "Stormer".
Overview
The strategy uses 12 moving averages (default EMA) to identify trends and generate trading signals opening positions.
Allowing to select the type of moving average and length to be used.
The conditions includes relationship between moving averages, the position of the current price relative to the moving averages, and the occurrence of certain price patterns.
Calculation
The mean moving averages is calculated by adding all the 12 moving averages and dividing by 12, the value is used to help to identify trend and possible condition to open position.
The 12 moving averages is spliced by 3 ranges, initial range (moving average lines 1 to 4), middle range (moving average lines 5 to 8) and end range (moving average lines 9 to 12). These ranges helps to identify potential trend and market turn over.
The moving average touch price is a relationship between the low price (uptrend) or high price (downtrend) with the moving average lines, it identifies where the price (low/high) has reached the the moving average line. Fetching the value to help for opening position, set stop loss and take profit.
Since the stop loss is based and set from the previous moving average touch price value, when position is about to be open and setting the stop loss value, there is a verification to check both current and previous moving average touch price to recalculate the stop loss value.
The turnover trend checks for a possible market turnover event, setting up a new profit target, this setting when enabled is to be helpful when a turnover occurs against the position to exit position with some profit based on highest high price if long or lowest low price if short.
The turnover signal is similar to turnover trend. The difference is that when this setting is enabled and it triggers, it simply exit the current position and opens up a reverse position, long goes short and short goes long. And there is an complement optional that checks current price exit profitable.
Entry Position
Long Position:
Price is higher than the mean moving averages. Meaning possible uptrend.
The lines of the middle range from the moving averages are in increasing order. Meaning possible uptrend.
The current high pierced up previous high.
Fetch the previous value of the moving average touch price. Meaning the low price has touched one of the moving average lines, which that value is conditioning to open position.
Short Position:
Price is lower than the mean moving averages. Meaning possible downtrend.
The lines of the middle range from the moving averages are in decreasing order. Meaning possible downtrend.
The current low pierced down previous low.
Fetch the previous value of the moving average touch price. Meaning the high price has touched one of the moving average lines, which that value is conditioning to open position.
Risk Management
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is based from the previous moving average touch price value, high price for short and low price for long or occurs an verification to check for both current and previous moving average touch price value and a recalculation is done to set the stop loss.
Take Profit:
According to the author, the profit target should be at least 1:1.6 the risk, so to have the strategy mathematically positive.
The profit target is configured input, can be increased or decreased.
It calculates the take profit based on the price of the stop loss with the profit target input.
Turnover Trend
Long Position:
The moving averages initial range lines signals a possible market turnover. Meaning long might be going short.
Fetches the highest high hit since the opening of the position, setting that value to the new profit target.
Short Position:
The moving averages initial range lines signals a possible market turnover. Meaning short might be going long.
Fetches the lowest low hit since the opening of the position, setting that value to the new profit target.
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.
Beginner's Guide:
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.
Seer's HutThis is a strategy based on Exponential Moving Averages or Volume Weighted Moving Averages against Adaptive fib resistance / support level and profit percentage which can be definetly defined by user and targeting small profits(profits will be raised by leverages).
In this strategy, there are predefined values which are collected one by one with statistical background and backtests. This gives an advantage to see which ratios are working better for each symbol. Also this statistics are re-evaluated monthly and if there is a need they are going to be changed with the help of libraries. Also IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE IN DAILY INTERVAL GRAPHICS!!!!
When we deep dive to strategy, it is based on profit percentages. it is similar to the MOST system. MOST only changes the way with default value of %2. But this hardcoded strategy is not working well with each Symbol.
So this is the point where DC and ADR Statistics are involved.
For Ex. while BTC is suits well with %2, it does not do wonders for RSR or RUNE which is 4-5% for each.
There is 3 options for setting the statistical usage of this indicator.
1. Auto calculated based on 1000 days of ADR and DC
imgur.com
2. Using Library where statistical values are stored.
imgur.com
3. User-defined values used. Yeah you read it right. Fully on-demand changes are supported. Which gives freedom to users for setup their own Adaptive FIB and Profit Percentages.
imgur.com
Based on this 3 options, TP and SL points are calculated on bar closures. Strategy Orders are also shown / raised with the closures.
Ok, system calculates these values but how to read / use them. what is this strategy based on ?
This strategy is mostly looking for minimizing the LOSS in case of any stop. So because of this, in each TP, system gives order signal to close half of the remaining open position.
There are 7 type of orders
OL : Open Long (Close Short and Open Long if in position)
CL 50 : Close Long - %50 of Open Position
CL 100 : Close Long - Close all position
OS : Open Short (Close Long and Open Short if in position)
CL 50 : Close Short - %50 of Open Position
CL 100 : Close Short - Close all position
TP5 : Highest TP reached. Close all position.
Script checks cross of EMA / VWMA and adFib to decide open a position. In reversal / crosses, adFib line had been set to defined Fib. Percentage (FP) level.
For creating the TP points, Profit Percentage (PP) parameter had been used which I briefly introduce at the beginning with the options.
One important topic about this strategy, it is not stacking / pyramiding the positions. Which means, it always calculate one way position. For example we are in the long position after OL signal.
We reached TP values and take profits. Later on due to FP crossing EMA, OS order signal given. This means you have to close all long position and open short position.
But beware. These calculated points are based on given values or calculated regarding to average ADR / DC ratings. For supporting strategy, several methods also had been included in the options.
imgur.com
These are:
1. MA plotting (Optional 4 EMA, 1WMA) - checking for Golden and Death Cross
2. Bollinger Bands (Length 25 and Multiplier 2.5 set as default. Used in correlation with TEMA)
3. Kama 2 / Kama 5 - Crossing speaks of Trend way
4. TEMA (TEMA 50, VWMA 25 calculations and plotting. Used for TEMA 50 / VWMA 25 / SMA 25 cross checks for weakening or strengthening trend analysis)
5. ATR plotting
6. Chandelier Exit plotting (Widely used for calculating Stop levels in market)
7. PSAR (Widely used for indicating trend reversal)
Also for the ease of use, if the users does not want to plot any values on the graph and just want to see the values there is couple of tables also included.
1. EMA info
2. KAMA info
3. Order info
4. TP/SL info
imgur.com
Some important notes:
1. To minimize the stop just after the order opening candle in volatile grounds, system prevents to raise new order signals if there is a signal already raised in last 4 candle.
2. if system reach and give close order in one of the TP points (For Ex TP1.), then index goes down and goes up again same TP (above TP1 in scenario) after 4 candle, system gives a close order signal again in the same TP.
3. There is a Profit Factor value had been shown at Order Info table. This information shows how profitable is the setup regarding to given FP and PP values.
In general market conditions, A Profit Factor above 1.50 is considered good enough and above 2.0 it is considered ideal. A strategy with profit factor less than 1.20 suggests too bigger a risk taken for making money.
In some cases automatic ADR and DC calculations are not good enough. so if you want to find a good Profit Factor value, you can change the system automatic calculation to manual value entering and you can see the results directly with in this field.
3Commas Bot DCA Backtester & Signals FREEThis is a DCA Strategy backtester + signals, built to emulate the 3Commas DCA bots. It uses your choice of 4 different buy signals, 2 of which can be adjusted in the settings. Everything is customizable so you can backtest specific settings with different buy signals and find the best performing strategy for your risk tolerance and capital. It can be used to backtest strategies on stocks as well, but just make sure your base order is larger than the share price for the entire backtesting range or it will not calculate properly.
You can use this template to code your own buy signals and then backtest them as a DCA strategy if you know some basic pine script.
The indicator shows all of your backtesting orders on the chart. The red line is your take profit level, the blue line is your average price level, the white line is your first order and the green lines are your average down orders. If you enable a stop loss in the settings your stop loss will be shown as an orange line once all of your average down orders have been hit, it will not be set until price has dipped below your covered trading range.
These levels update when things change during backtesting so you can visualize your strategy and how it would perform as well as see if your percentage deviation is large enough to cover dips. When backtesting trades are taken, the chart will show where they were taken(in backtesting) along with info on those trades such as the number each order is, the size of that order and the percentage deviation that order is from the initial buy.
SENDING SIGNALS TO 3COMMAS
Tradingview cannot sync this backtester to 3Commas and with the way alerts are setup for strategies on Tradingview, the best option for you to give signals to your bot would be to use this backtester to figure out what trigger you want to use and then setup that indicator separately to send alerts to your bot. All of the indicators used for signals in this backtester are available for free and can be configured to match this backtester and send alerts to 3Commas for you. Just make sure you set your alerts to once per bar close and don’t use less than a 15 second timeframe because then you could trigger the Tradingview threshold for alerts and get your alerts shut off.
You can also use this backtester with your own buy triggers if you know a little pine script. Just make copy of the script and code in your own buy signals and see how it backtests.
INFO PANEL FOR ANALYZING YOUR STRATEGY
The right hand side of the screen will show an info panel that shows a lot of different information so you can quickly see your bot settings and how it performed right on the screen.
In the top right corner you will see in purple your bot settings. These include your stoploss % if turned on, take profit %, average down order %, average down order % multiplier, volume multiplier, max number of orders allowed and size of your base order.
The top section of the first column “Current Trade” shows these stats: the open trade’s average price, the open trade’s take profit price, the open trade’s PNL, how far price is from your open tarde’s take profit level in percentage, your open position size and number of open orders.
The bottom section of the first column “Overall Performance” shows these stats: total number of trades taken during backtesting range, the largest amount of trades that were open at one time during backtesting, the max drawdown, the average number of bars per trade, gross profit, net profit, percent profit from your initial capital, current portfolio value and your initial capital.
CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS TO FIND THE PERFECT STRATEGY
Stoploss On/Off
This will turn your stoploss on or off. By default it is set to off and will not affect anything unless turned on.
Stoploss Percentage
This is the percentage below your final average down order price that will be set as a stoploss to keep your account from going too far in the red on big dips.
Take Profit Percentage - This is the percentage of profit you want the trade to hit before taking profit on your entire DCA trade. This level updates everytime you average down.
Average Down Percentage - This is the percentage that price has to drop from your initial order to initiate your first safety order. If the Average Down Percent Multiplier is set to 1 then this percentage will be the same for every average down order.
Average Down Percentage Multiplier - This multiplies your Average Down Percentage so each safety order needs a larger percentage deviation than the previous one. This keeps your buys closer together at the beginning and further apart when you hit more orders so you can extend your trading range but still be aggressive when price is going sideways.
Volume Multiplier Per New Order - This multiplies the size of each trade based on your base order. If you set it to a 2x multiplier then each average down order will be 2 times the size of the last one. So for example, a $100 base order with a 2x multiplier would have these values for the first 3 average down orders: 200, 400, 800.
Size Of Base Order - This is the size of your first position entry and will be used as a starting point for the volume multiplier. If your base order is $100 then it will buy $100 worth of whatever crypto you are backtesting this on. If you are looking at stock charts, you need to make sure your base order is higher than the share price across the entire backtesting range or it will not perform correctly.
Max Number Of Orders - This is the maximum number of orders the bot can take, including your base order. Adjust this to suit the amount of capital you are willing to allocate to your bot based on how much money it will require to run according to your bot settings.
TIPS ON HOW TO USE FOR BEST RESULTS
If you don’t have a lot of capital to work with, then use longer timeframes with a reasonable take profit percentage so that you don’t need a lot of average down orders. You can also try keeping the volume multiplier close to 1.
You can use the 3Commas dca bot settings page to see how much capital you will need for your strategy if you match it to the settings you have on this indicator. You can also check to see how much of a percentage deviation your bot is covering to make sure you have a reasonable range to trade in and orders to cover big dips. You can also check your coverage by seeing how far down the chart the green lines cover, which are your average down orders.
Make sure the initial capital in the properties tab of the settings has enough to cover all of your orders otherwise you will get unrealistic backtesting results. Also, make sure you leave the order size in the properties tab on contracts so it calculates your trades correctly. The only settings you need to touch in the properties tab is the initial capital. Unless you are trading somewhere that has lower commission fees, then you can change that to match, but leave all the other settings as is for it to function properly.
Increasing the volume multiplier will make your average price and take profit target follow the price action a lot closer as price falls, but it can also lead to having very large orders very quickly once you get into the 1.5-3x multiple range. Try using a high volume multiplier with less safety orders and you will get better results, however you need to have money on the sidelines to add on major dips to keep your bot turning a profit. Be very careful with this as greed and impatience will hurt your overall performance. This bot is meant to make money with lots of small wins so don’t get greedy and make sure you have enough money to cover large dips. If you are being aggressive with your bot, then I recommend only using 25% or less of your portfolio to trade aggressively and then use the smart trade feature on 3commas to add chunks of funds to your trades when price dips below your last safety order. Or if you want it to run without any supervision, then use lower volume multipliers and have lots of safety orders that can cover entire bear markets and still keep buying lower.
It’s a good idea to have some capital on the sidelines that you can add in when price dips quickly. This will help lower your average price and allow your bot to get out in profit quicker. 3Commas bot has a smart trade feature that will allow you to track your average price when adding extra funds and it will automatically update your other orders which is very convenient. Look at the longer timeframes when price dips and only add chunks at major areas where price is very likely to bounce. Or you can be aggressive when trading and add to your position when price dips and is at a likely bounce zone to maximize profits.
Only trade coins that have a good amount of liquidity as the larger your orders get, the harder it will be to sell if there isn’t much liquidity. Also, beware of how large your first order is as it will usually be a market order and can move the market if there is not much liquidity.
Since this bot takes a lot of trades and performs best when taking small profits consistently, you will need to factor in exchange fees. The bot is set to .5% commission(you can change this) on the buy and sell orders as most exchanges charge that amount. Some exchanges offer no fee trading on certain coins so be sure to look around for those so you can keep the commissions and maximize profits.
I strongly encourage you to try out a lot of different setting combinations across multiple different coins and do it across a few months to see how it would have performed under various market conditions. This will help you get a better idea of how much of a percentage deviation you’ll need to be able to cover to keep your bot running and making constant profits. You can also use the deep backtesting feature of the strategy panel to see how it would have done, but just beware that the info panel of the indicator will not reflect deep backtesting results, only the normal backtesting range.
MARKETS
This backtester can be used on any market including crypto, stocks, forex & futures. You just need to make sure your base order is larger than the share price when using this on things besides crypto.
TIMEFRAMES
This backtester can be used on all timeframes.
[MT] Strategy Backtest Template| Initial Release | | EN |
An update of my old script, this script is designed so that it can be used as a template for all those traders who want to save time when programming their strategy and backtesting it, having functions already programmed that in normal development would take you more time to program, with this template you can simply add your favorite indicator and thus be able to take advantage of all the functions that this template has.
🔴Stop Loss and 🟢Take Profit:
No need to mention that it is a Stop Loss and a Take Profit, within these functions we find the options of: fixed percentage (%), fixed price ($), ATR, especially for Stop Loss we find the Pivot Points, in addition to this, the price range between the entry and the Stop Loss can be converted into a trailing stop loss, instead, especially for the Take Profit we have an option to choose a 1:X ratio that complements very well with the Pivot Points.
📈Heikin Ashi Based Entries:
Heikin Ashi entries are trades that are calculated based on Heikin Ashi candles but their price is executed to Japanese candles, thus avoiding false results that occur in Heikin candlestick charts, this making in certain cases better results in strategies that are executed with this option compared to Japanese candlesticks.
📊Dashboard:
A more visual and organized way to see the results and necessary data produced by our strategy, among them we can see the dates between which our operations are made regardless if you have activated some time filter, usual data such as Profit, Win Rate, Profit factor are also displayed in this panel, additionally data such as the total number of operations, how many were gains and how many losses, the average profit and loss for each operation and finally the maximum profits and losses followed, which are data that will be very useful to us when we elaborate our strategies.

Moon Phases Strategy [LuxAlgo]Trading moon phases has become quite popular among traders, believing that there exists a relationship between moon phases and market movements. This strategy is based on an estimate of moon phases with the possibility to use different methods to determine long/short positions based on moon phases.
Note that we assume moon phases are perfectly periodic with a cycle of 29.530588853 days (which is not realistically the case), as such there exists a difference between the detected moon phases by the strategy and the ones you would see. This difference becomes less important when using higher timeframes.
Settings
New Moon Reference Date: Date of a new moon to be used as starting point for the cycle calculation. Buy: Determine the condition to be used to open a long position Sell: Determine the condition to be used to open a short position
Description
The strategy can use different buy/sell conditions, these are determined in the Buy/Sell settings drop-down menu.
By default, the strategy goes long on a new moon and short on a full moon. This setup is common since full moons are said to be related to depressed mood. However, it is possible to use inverse conditions.
Users can also go long on higher moons (new moons or full moons occurring at a price that is higher than the previous one when a new/full moon occurred) and short on lower moons, this would return a trend following strategy, using the inverse conditions (buy lower moons/sell higher moons) would return a contrarian strategy.
The above chart displays the strategy using default conditions.
The above chart displays the strategy of going long on a higher moon and selling on a lower moon.
Quick Summary
We provide a quick summary of the strategy using default conditions (buy on a new moon, sell on a full moon) on various tickers using the 4h timeframe (note that using a lower timeframe would return a backtest executing a lower number of trades).
Constant position sizing is used and no frictional costs are considered.
BTCUSD
The moon phases strategy has been regularly tested with BTCUSD, with traders highlighting how moon phases tend to occur during tops/bottoms. We test the strategy from 2019-01-06 00:00.

POW EdgeHello fellow Trading View member,
Eventually our rebranded update with some extra features for our exclusive 'Edge' Strategy Script.
In this description I will run through;
The strategy itself, what is it?
What does it do?
How does it work?
How can it help you?
How good is it?
What is it.....
The Edge Strategy itself is based upon 5 indicators lining up in total confluence to enter a position in line with a trending move. Adding them together adds more confluence and probability to each individual trade outcome over the longer term. The individual strategies used are based on Trend strategies all used in combination.
The uniqueness to this is how they are combined. Indicators can work to a point individually of course, but combining them together and only trading when all are in a line was our concept, whilst reviewing how each individual indicator can be optimised to work with the others.
Also the motivation was to be the right side of the market in a trending move and capitalising on as much as that move as possible.
The first part is to ensure the candle close is above or below our moving average, we can then check the state and validity of each of the other 4 indicators. Once this confluence is in alignment a trade is valid for entry - this has to be valid at the same time - but not all valid on the same candle - they will come into alignment in different stages. But once they are, our trade is valid.
I will not reveal the other individual 3 indicators but the other is also an ADX function to add a threshold into the strategy to identify a trend - usually above 20/25. This has upsides and downsides as any user can visualise and see in the testing.
We also add to the script to look for a Buy then Sell, Sell then Buy - we found this had more profitable results overall and next phase was to review the money management; where and how we placed our SL and when and why we exited the trade.
Example - for a BUY trade to be valid, all 5 indictors must meet their own criteria before a BUY is printed on the chart. Absolutely no technical analysis is needed to trade this strategy and the data we have is based on using the strategy in isolation - how you wish to use this either independently or supporting your own trading is of course, up to you.
The SL and TP's are based on ATR Multipliers thus ensuring we are factoring in market volatility at that time. We also have a FT (Follow Trend) option, which is a worthy addition for capitalising on big trending moves.
This strategy will work on all markets and timeframes.
We understand and accept that all pairs and markets are different thus we have optimised certain pairs and timeframes with different parameters to provide increased returns, these are hard coded (H1 Timeframe) and also provided for your review.
Profitability is easily viewable in the ‘Strategy Tester’ - this is a great tool. This is where you can see historic / live data for the strategy.
Data like;
The Net Profit
Number of trades
Win Percentage
Every trade taken
Average Win
Average Loss
Maximal DD , etc.
We have individually optimised each pair to ensure this is the case and hard coded these parameters into the strategy. All you need to do is flick between the pairs - the strategy will then identify the pair you are on and change the parameters to suit in the background.
Whilst a trade is open, the strategy will convert all candles to the relevant colour - Green for an uptrend and Red for a downtrend (all customisable).
We find this is helpful for traders psychology - not getting 'spooked' by other candle colours, affecting your decision making.
When a new signal is valid, 'POW BUY' or 'POW SELL' will be displayed on the first candle open for entry. As well as this, you will also have the trade label print which will display the following;
- EP – Entry price
- SL – Stop loss
- TP – Take Profit
- Lot size
The trade information printed will also tell you the pip values of your stop loss and take profit based on how far away they are from the trade entry price.
The lot size printed is customisable and unique to your account- within the strategy settings you can simply input your account balance, currency and risk approach which includes a fixed risk amount, fixed lot size or a fixed percentage.
This removes the need for 3rd party apps or websites to quickly calculate your specific risk on your trade. Thus saving you time and making sure you aren't 'guessing' with your lot size.
No one likes losing more than they thought.
The progress and initial challenges....
To start, our first version simply showed the buy and sell arrows when a trade was valid. However, this caused subjectivity with where we would place our stop loss and how we would manage the exit of the trade once we were in it. So, we identified a solid strategy for this was incorporating the Average True Range (ATR) for SL and TP options.
I was especially keen to add the SL and exit management so I could obtain solid back testing data to support my thoughts that 'this works'. Every trader requires confidence and belief in their strategy, without it you simply won't succeed or be disciplined in your execution.
The other challenge we all face is calculating the lot sizes of our trades right? So, it was important that we incorporated a lot size calculator - its all about making it easy when a trade is valid to enter without trying to calculate this accurately.
Lastly, when pairs are stuck in a range - this can be a testing period of 'chop' for a trend strategy, so we also incorporated the ADX function to enable us to set a threshold level to identify when the instrument is more likely to be trending.
What does it do?
Ultimately, tells you when to buy and sell - where to place your SL and when to exit. Whilst also ensuring your risk management is on point, by displaying your trading lot size. Also providing you with live back tested data at your finger tips thank you to the strategy tester.
How does it work?
This will be visible on your trading view charts once you get access. And will work across all your devices, the trading view website or the app on your phone for example.
You can also use Trading View alerts, so you won't miss a trade and can go about your day as normal without watching the screen. This will work on the Free version of TV, however, in order to benefit from more alerts and templates it makes sense to upgrade to a higher package.
How can it help you?
This will help give you a mechanical approach to your trading. This means, less decision making on your part, with the instant benefit of seeing the data you have at your fingertips thanks to the 'Strategy Tester' TV Function.
It will save you time, you don't need to be in front of your screen or completing any subjective analysis.
Integrated lot size calculator can ensure you are always accurate with your risk - either in percentage or a fixed amount of risk - whichever you prefer.
Understand Probability - this is the key one for me. Losing runs happen in any trading strategy. The great benefit here, is you can see them. How long were the losing runs? How can I prepare and plan my risk management around them are all fundamental keys to managing your emotions and being detached from your trades. No one wants to feel stressed or anxious when trading.
Customisable exit strategies - A specific TP for a 1:1 RR or 1:10 RR for example can be adjusted and you can see instantly how this affects the profitability.
The exit strategy options are shown below;
TP 1/2/3
FT - Follow Trend (no stop loss and follow's from Buys to Sells, Sell to Buy, etc.
SL + FT - SL present, but trade is held until a reverse signal is presented.
How good is it?
We have some really positive back testing data across a range of pairs and markets - equities and indices too.
Drop me a DM to see these and I'll be happy to share.
Below let me show you a screen shot of how this can work for you.
How do you access this?
Please visit our website for signup / purchase information in the first instance (the link is on our trading view signature) or send us a private message on here - its impossible to keep track of comments on our posts so to ensure we don't miss you, a private DM will be great please.

Disclaimer alert.
Please remember past performance is exactly that - how our strategy performed over those dates tested, it is not obviously a guarantee of future performance. Most of our H1 data is valid from Jan 2017 to now - so 4+ years and data on 650+ trades per pair.
STRATEGY TESTER ENGINE - ON CHART DISPLAY - PLUG & PLAYSo i had this idea while ago when @alexgrover published a script and dropped a nugget in between which replicates the result of strategy tester on chart as an indicator.
So it seemed fair to use one of his strategy to display the results.
This strategy tester can now be used in replay mode like an indicator and you can see what happen at a particular section of the chart which was is not possible in default strategy tester results of TV.
Please read how each result is calculated so you will know what you are using.
This engine shows most common results of strategy tester in a single screen, which are as follows:
1. Starting Capital
2. Current Profit Percentage
3. Max Profit Percentage
4. Gross Profit
5. Gross Loss
6. Total Closed Trades
7. Total Trades Won
8. Total Trades Lost
9. Percentage Profitable
10. Profit Factor
11. Current Drawdown
12. Max Drawdown
13. Liquidation
So elaborating on what is what:
1. Starting Capital - This stays 0, which signifies your starting balance as 0%. It is set to 0 so we can compare all other results without any change in variables. If set to 100, then all the results will be increased by 100. Some users might find it useful to set it to 100, then they can change code on line 41 from to and it should show starting balance as 100%.
2. Current Profit Percentage - This shows your current profit adjusted to current price of the candle, not like TV which shows after candle is close. There is a comment on the line 38 which can be removed and your can see unrealized profit as well in this section. Please note that this will affect Draw-down calculations later in this section.
3. Max Profit Percentage - This will show you your max profit achieved during your strategy run, which was not possible yet to see via strategy tester. So, now you can see how much profit was achieved by your strategy during the run and you can compare it with chart to see what happens during bull-run or bear-run, so you can further optimize your strategy to best suit your desired results.
4. Gross Profit - This is total percentage of profit your strategy achieved during entire run as if you never had any losses.
5. Gross Loss - This is total percentage of loss your strategy achieved during entire run as if you never had any profits.
6. Total Closed Trades - This is total number of trades that your strategy has executed so far.
7. Total Trades Won - This is the total number of trades that your strategy has executed that resulted in positive increase in equity.
8. Totals Trades Lost - This is the total number of trades that your strategy has executed that resulted in decrease in equity.
9. Percentage Profitable - This is the ratio between your current total winning trades divided by total closed trades, and finally multiplied by 100 to get percentage results.
10. Profit Factor - This is the ratio between Gross Profit and Gross Loss, so if profit factor is 2, then it indicates that you are set to gain 2 times per your risk per trade on average when total trades are executed.
11. Current Drawdown - This is important section and i want you to read this carefully. Here draw-down is calculated very differently than what TV shows. TV has access to candle data and calculates draw-down accordingly as per number of trades closed, but here DD is calculated as difference between max profit achieved and current profit. This way you can see how much percentage you are down from max peak of equity at current point in time. You can do back-test of the data and see when peak was achieved and how much your strategy did a draw-down candle by candle.
12. Max Drawdown - This is also calculated differently same as above, current draw-down. Here you can see how much max DD your strategy did from a peak profit of equity. This is not set as max profit percentage is set because you will see single number on display, while idea is to keep it custom. I will explain.
So lets say, your max DD on TV is 30%. Here this is of no use to see Max DD , as some people might want to see what was there max DD 1000 candles back or 10 candle back. So this will show you your max DD from the data you select. TV shows 25000 candle data in a chart if you go back, you can set the counter to 24999 and it will show you max DD as shown on TV, but if you want custom section to show max DD , it is now possible which was not possible before.
Also, now let's say you put DD as 24999 and open a chart of an asset that was listed 1 week ago, now on 1H chart max DD will never show up until you reach 24999 candle in data history, but with this you can now enter a manual number and see the data.
13. Liquidation - This is an interesting feature, so now when your equity balance is less than 0 and your draw-down goes to -100, it will show you where and at what point in time you got liquidated by adding a red background color in the entire section. This is the most fun part of this script, while you can only see max DD on TV.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Use -
1 word, plug and play. Yes. Actual codes start from line 33.
select overlay=false or remove it from the title in your strategy on first line,
Just copy the codes from line 33 to 103,
then go to end section of your strategy and paste the entire code from line 33 to line 103,
see if you have any duplicate variable, edit it,
Add to chart.
What you see above is very contracted view. Here is how it looks when zoomed in.

BlueFX Strategy GOLD M15We are releasing this separate script file for trading Gold on the M15 time frame using our strategy. This can now run independently from the main file instead of changing parameters and saving as a template - thus making the use of these specific settings even easier for our traders.
You can see the back testing profitability shown below, although you can not use back testing to predict the future, both the volume of trades, net profit, win rate and draw down demonstrate a solid foundation and data to move forward from.
The strategy itself is explained in the 'Blue FX Strategy' but see below too for more info.
Our strategy will help you identify the current trend in the markets and highlight when this is changing. The strategy itself is based upon 4 indicators lining up in total confluence to increase the probability of the trade being a success.
Absolutely no technical analysis is needed to trade this - this is a trading tool and has solid back testing results trading in isolation - although you may also use to support your own trading - the choice is yours.
When a trade is valid - a Buy or Sell label will appear with the Entry price, SL and multiple TP's shown on the chart.
IMPORTANT note, the test results show and confirm that the most profitable exit strategy with these Gold settings is 'FT&SL' this means we enter the trade with a Stop Loss (SL) and simply hold and follow the trend (Follow Trend = FT) until a reverse signal is printed.
In our supporting video (see related ideas) you can see the impact of changing this target between multiple TP's and the net effect on both win rate and overall net profitability.
The Lot size will also be displayed and this is based on the risk parameters you have set personally in the calculation section.
What is a Trading View Script?
A script is like an indicator but better, we can verify the success of our strategy by using Trading Views strategy tester function. As shown below and on the chart - you can see the 'Buy' and 'Close Buy' on the chart, supported by a live trading log showing you the entry, entry price date, volume and closing price.
This is a great function for numerous reasons; firstly, you know you are using a strategy that has provided a positive expectancy in back testing, secondly you can use this as a trading journal to support your trading too. This in itself can help you with your trading psychology - letting winning trades run is a prime example of this. Take confidence in the statistics and performance over time.
Ultimately, we believe we have saved YOU the need to firstly, find an edge and a strategy - and all of the time it takes to BACKTEST a strategy - to then find it may or may not work - and then you start again!

BKN: Thick Cut StrategyThick Cut is the juiciest BKN yet. This indicator is created to take a profitable trading strategy and turn it into an automated system. We've built in several pieces that professional traders use every day and turned it into an algo that produces on timeframes as low as 1, 3, and 5 minutes!
Limit Order Entries: When criteria is met, an alert is signaled that will send a value to enter a position at a limit price.
Built in Stop Loss: A stop is built in and the value can be sent to your bot using the {{plot}} function or you can rely on a TradingView alert when the stop is hit.
Built in Take Profits: We've built in two separate take profits and the ability to move your stop loss to breakeven after the first take profit is hit. Even if you take 50% profit at 1R and move your stop loss, you already have a profitable trade. Test results show 50% profits at 2R and the remainder at higher returns result in exceptional results.
Position Sizing: We've built in a position size based on your own predetermined risk. Want to risk $100 per trade? Great, put in 100 in the inputs and reference a quantity of {{plot("Position Size")}} in your alert to send a position size to the bot. You can also reference {{plot("Partial Close")}} to pull 50% of the position size closing 50% at TP1 and 50% at TP2.
Backtest results shown are very short term since we are viewing a 15m chart. This can be a profitable strategy on many timeframes, but lower timeframes will maximize results.
A unique script with incredible results. Further forward testing is live.
***IMPORTANT***
For access, please do not comment below. Comments here will not be replied to. Please send a DM here or on my linked Twitter. At this time, this strategy is considered a Beta release as we continue to fine tune settings and more. Expecting 2 weeks of beta with official release around June 6.
Blue FX Trend StrategyHi, welcome to the Blue FX Trend Strategy Script.
What does it do?
Our strategy will help you identify the current trend in the markets and highlight when this is changing. The strategy itself is based upon 4 indicators lining up in total confluence to increase the probability of the trade being a success, this is specifically an EMA, MACD settings, Supertrend criteria and also Momentum.
Absolutely no technical analysis is needed to trade this successfully - this can be used on all time frames and all pairs - obviously with varying profitability as all pairs work differently - this can be reviewed quickly in 'Strategy Tester' to hone in on your own desired settings.
When all criteria is in alignment the strategy will convert all candles to the relevant colour - Green for an uptrend and Red for a downtrend; a candle that is printed normally simply shows that no current trend is in place to warrant a colour change. A normal coloured candle could possibly indicate a change in current market direction or the market consolidating before a further move in the initial direction. When a new signal is valid 'Blue FX Buy'' or 'Blue FX Sell' will be displayed and the small arrow shown on candle open for entry.
How do I use it?
Our strategy is invite only - upon joining our group we will allow you access to the script. This will then simply display on your device ready for you to start trading from. There is substantial functionality within the strategy, you can;
See the success of the default settings in the past using the 'Strategy Tester' Function for numerous settings
1. Following the settings 'Trail'
2. Changing your TP function with the other criteria listed
3. Using a Fixed TP or SL function
Upon changing the Script to 'Fixed' you will see numerous trades on the chart displayed differently.
Scaling into a profitable position is also possible - this is ideally done when the candle colour confirms the trend is continuing after rejection/support from the EMA; we show this below;
You could also enter here if you missed the initial sell signal, we have MA rejection and a red printed candle indicating all confluences are in play and we have high probability for the move to continue.
How do I know its profitable?
We have built numerous customisable settings into the strategy for you to see that this is profitable - you can visually see this too. The settings are also customisable to find the right criteria for the right pair on the right time-frame. Ultimately, with the strategy confluences in place, you are putting probability in your favour and can quickly determine the trend in place if there is one. Within the customisable settings there is a compound function too, so if you were to compound your profit the results can be exceptional.
We have also added an H4 confluence, so you can ensure if trading on a lower time-frame you are in the overall direction of the H4 trend too, a useful setting for more confluence again.
Where do I set my Stop loss or Take Profit?
There is no right or wrong to this and we have attempted to build numerous ways of doing this into the strategy for reference.
For setting a SL you could;
1. Use a fixed SL.
2. Place the SL below the last high or low in the trend.
3. Use an ATR function.
4. Place the SL 5 pips below the last 3 candles.
5. Or, trail the price if you are on screen until the next signal is given and a new trend starts - although unless a big trend, you may miss out on some profit by the time price has pulled back.
For placing a Take Profit, you could;
1. Use a fixed TP.
2. Look for the next supply/demand area on the chart (if it breaks and candle colour supports direction - you could enter again).
3. Use an ATR function.
5. Or, trail the price if you are on screen until the next signal is given and a new trend starts - although unless a big trend, you may miss out on some profit by the time price has pulled back.
6. Secure multiple TPs - 20/50/100 pips with Stop loss to entry after the first target is hit.
Here are some examples of the Buy and Sell signals in action;
Will also work on Commodities and Indices as shown below too;
Our recommended visual settings are below;
1. Set to'Trail' Strategy
2. Under 'Style' tab, select Trades on Chart, but un-select both Signal Labels and Quantity to clean up the chart - these settings are useful when testing to see where the trades are opened and closed.
3. We like the candles changing colour to the trend and criteria set however, these can be turned off to display normal bullish and bearish candles.
When reviewing profitability you can do this by selecting 'Overview' 'Performance Summary' and 'List of Trades'.
Please consider that the settings based into the strategy could differ to your own money management rules and your management of your SL and TP as outlined above - we have tried to cover as many bases as possible here.
We look forward to you using this strategy to profit from the market, please share your feedback and results with us.
Kind regards

Renkomonster, v. 5.0RenkoMonster Elite
A radical redesign of our other approaches, RenkoMonster uses deep algorithmic and pattern tracking against standard systems to produce trade logic with the quietest, most actionable, signal-to-noise certainty. Designing around the right parameters brings the best results, and for investment instruments, that means focusing on market-mirroring mathematics that produce profits. Note, however, that focus on profits also means building an engine that maximizes for return, not some abstract percentage of right guesses. RenkoMonster is therefore built to enter every high-probability trade, then evaluate ongoing metrics to stay with a winner as long as possible, but also recognizing the need to exit quickly as soon as high-probability failure signals arise. The result: consistent winning trades, but, more importantly, immense profit-to-loss ratios that bring a superior payoff. RenkoMonster keeps you in the game to catch the huge runs that bring the big returns. (see Results Chart below) A premium trading system for the discerning investor seeking robust, effortless results across a range of asset classes, contact us for a free trial to test RenkoMonster on your favorite charts.
Results Chart
The backtests below show 1-year returns against a Buy and Hold (B+H) approach for 40 of the world’s top traded instruments (as measured by price volume or similar indicator). The RenkoMonster system was run on the top 10 instruments in four major markets: Equities, ETFs, Cryptocurrencies, and Forex. All tests were on a 30min chart, set to Renko “Traditional” blocks (because TradingView does not support realtime alerts from ATR-based charts). Block size was set proportionately to price to give the instrument positive results, but there was no “cherry-picking”. (In fact, changing time frames would have produced even better returns in some cases, but it seemed best to use a consistent measure.) Subscribers to the system receive a full, step-by-step breakdown on how to customize the parameters to get the best from their favorite markets.
(For each instrument, you see listed its Symbol (name), Profit % (annual return using RenkoMonster), Winning Trade % (being “right”), ProfitFactor (Ratio of money won to money lost), Max Draw Down % (point of worst % loss during the year), and B+H (how much the asset would have returned with no trades, via "buy-and-hold" )...)

Trend Scalping Strategy - ForexHi all,
I have created the attached strategy for my own use primarily but thought I would share it as my experience to date is that it is profitable in particular circumstances, so thought I would open this out to the community to see if it can be successfully applied on any other pairs and timeframes.
I have protected the source code at this time - mainly because it needs massive tidying up! If I ever get time to do this then I will
The concept of the strategy is based upon the slingshot method - the strategy fundamentally does the following:
- Tests each candle for a new short term trend based upon EMAs
- If there is a new trend, check the RSI and ensure it isnt above the upper RSI threshold (for long positions) and below the lower RSI threshold (for short positions)
- If it passes the RSI check, entry is valid and draws a bar on the chart to show the opening entry position, stop loss position, take profit 1 and take profit 2 positions.
I have backtested this across 28 pairs on the M15 timeframe, comprising of a total of 140,000 candles (35,000 hours of trading). Across this period, 18 of the 28 pairs I looked at were profitable, with overall significant profit if live traded across the 28.
I have live tested 5 pairs on the same timeframe:
- GBPJPY
- GBPUSD
- GBPEUR
- CADJPY
- EURJPY
These pairs have to date given a rough ROR (Return on Risk) position of approx 60% average per trade.
All of the above has been done with the following inputs:
- RSI Upper - 68
- RSI Lower - 32
- Stop Loss - 0.0015
- TP1 - 0.002
- TP2 - 0.004
The SL and TPs are based on a decimal entry of a percentage movement - i.e. the Stop loss above reflects a 0.15% movement, etc etc. Obviously if this were to be tested on longer time frames it is likely that these would need to be larger figures.
I have also tested this live with great success on the S&P 500 and the FTSE, with the following settings:
Indicator Timeframe TP1 TP2 SL Upper Lower
FTSE M5 0.0015 0.004 0.001 70 30
SPX M5 0.0015 0.004 0.001 75 35
Three key notes on trading this below - THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
- This is NOT a high strike rate strategy. Strike rate on profitable pairs is between approx 45 and 55% (although I have seen as low as 35% and still seen significant profit). This has two natural conclusions - risk management is VITAL (I risk 0.5% on each trade, but this may in fact be high for this strategy), and be prepared for potentially significant drawdowns. I have seen certainly drawdowns of 20 consecutive losing trades (counting TP1 and TP2 as 2 trades) and probably longer, which obviously means drawdowns of 10% or greater. The other thing to bear in mind is that with this kind of strike rate, you shouldnt be setting TP1 at a 1:1 risk reward or lower.
- Take Profit 1 is easy - straight Stop and Limit orders. Take Profit 2 is a trailing stop with a start point of the limit for TP1, with then a trailing stop of this distance. This means that should you win on TP1, TP2 is a risk free trade but also trails in for profit if TP2 isnt reached (which it normally isnt). DO NOT set TP2 as a standard stop and limit, this rapidly makes this strategy unprofitable. The point here is that if you reach TP1 you are in some form of trend where you want to capture as much profit as you can.
- Do not enter a trade mid candle. The strategy is based upon the close of the trending candle not the "live" price during this candle, so no need to rush into a trade. If you enter mid candle you will find more often than not that the indicator wasnt for a valid trade by the candle close.
Also, standard disclaimer - past performance is no guarantee of future performance, and if you choose to use this strategy/indicator you do so 100% at your own risk. As a minimum, pick your pairs carefully - I have found particular unprofitability with this strategy with the AUD and NZD pairs so I have ruled these out completely at present, although with different timeframes and inputs these may of course be profitable.
I hope this is helpful for someone...I'd welcome any feedback or other setups where this is profitable.
Moving forward, I want to do some more work on this strategy to rule out some of the more negative trades, and I primarily intend to do this using pivots - however this will be an as and when I get chance.
Trend Line Breakout StrategyThe Trend Line Breakout Strategy is a sophisticated, automated trading system built in Pine Script v6 for TradingView, designed to capture high-probability reversals by detecting breakouts from dynamic trend lines. It focuses on establishing clear directional bias through higher timeframe (HTF) trend analysis while executing precise entries on the chart's native timeframe (typically lower, such as 15-60 minutes for intraday trading).
Key Components:
Trend Line Construction: Green Uptrend Lines (Support): Automatically drawn by connecting the two most recent pivot lows, but only if the line slopes upward (positive slope). This ensures the line truly represents bullish support.
Red Downtrend Lines (Resistance): Drawn by connecting the two most recent pivot highs, but only if the line slopes downward (negative slope), confirming bearish resistance.
Pivot points are detected using a user-defined lookback period (default: 5 bars left and right), filtering out invalid lines to reduce noise.
HTF Trend Filter:
Uses a 20-period EMA crossover against a 50-period EMA on a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 4H or Daily) to determine overall market direction. Long trades require an uptrend (20 EMA > 50 EMA), and shorts require a downtrend. This aligns entries with the broader momentum, reducing whipsaws.
Entry Signals:Buy (Long) Signal:
Triggered when price breaks above a red downtrend line with two consecutive confirmation candles (each closing above the line with bullish momentum, i.e., close > open). Must align with HTF uptrend.
Sell (Short) Signal: Triggered when price breaks below a green uptrend line with two consecutive confirmation candles (each closing below the line with bearish momentum, i.e., close < open). Must align with HTF downtrend.
This "2-candle confirmation" rule ensures momentum shift, avoiding false breaks.
Risk Management:Position Sizing:
Risks a fixed percentage of equity (default: 1%) per trade.
Stop Loss: Optional ATR-based (14-period default) or fixed 1% of price, placed beyond the breakout candle's extreme.
Take Profit: Set at a user-defined risk-reward ratio (default: 2:1), scaling rewards relative to the stop distance.
No pyramiding or trailing stops in the base version, keeping it simple and robust.
Visual Aids:
Plots green/red trend lines on the chart.
Triangle shapes mark entry signals (up for buys, down for sells).
Background shading highlights HTF trend (light green for up, light red for down).
Dashed lines show active stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This strategy excels in trending markets like forex pairs (e.g., EUR/USD) or volatile assets (e.g., BTC/USD), where trend lines hold multiple touches before breaking. It avoids overtrading by requiring slope validation and HTF alignment, aiming for 40-60% win rates with favorable risk-reward to compound returns. Backtesting on historical data (e.g., 2020-2025) typically shows drawdowns under 15% with positive expectancy, but always forward-test on a demo account due to slippage and commissions.Example: Best Possible Settings for Highest ReturnBased on extensive backtesting across various assets and timeframes (using TradingView's Strategy Tester on historical data from January 2020 to September 2025), the optimal settings for maximizing net profit (highest return) were found on the EUR/USD pair using a 1-hour chart. This configuration yielded a simulated return of approximately 285% over the period (with a 52% win rate, profit factor of 2.8, and max drawdown of 12%), outperforming defaults by focusing on longer-term trends and higher rewards.
Higher Timeframe
"D" (Daily)
Captures major institutional trends for fewer but higher-quality signals; reduces noise compared to 4H.
Lower Timeframe
"60" (1H)
Balances intraday precision with trend reliability; ideal for swing trades lasting 1-3 days.
Pivot Lookback Period
10
Longer lookback identifies more significant pivots, improving trend line validity in volatile forex markets.
Min Trendline Touch Points
2 (default)
Sufficient for confirmation without over-filtering; higher values reduce signals excessively.
Risk % of Equity
1.0 (default)
Conservative sizing preserves capital during drawdowns; scaling up increases returns but volatility.
Profit Target (R:R)
3.0
1:3 ratio allows profitability with ~33% win rate; backtests showed it maximizes expectancy in breakouts.
Use ATR for Stop Loss?
true (default)
ATR adapts to volatility, preventing premature stops in choppy conditions.
Backtest Summary (EUR/USD, 1H, 2020-2025):Total Trades: 156
Winning Trades: 81 (52%)
Avg. Win: +1.8% | Avg. Loss: -0.6%
Net Profit: +285% (compounded)
Sharpe Ratio: 1.65
Apply these on a demo first, as live results may vary with spreads (~0.5 pips on EUR/USD). For other assets like BTC/USD, increase pivot lookback to 15 for better noise filtering.
