QuantJazz Turbine Trader BETA v1.17QuantJazz Turbine Trader BETA v1.17 - Strategy Introduction and User Guide
Strategy Introduction
Welcome to the QuantJazz Turbine Trader BETA v1.17, a comprehensive trading strategy designed for TradingView. This strategy is built upon oscillator principles, drawing inspiration from the Turbo Oscillator by RedRox, and incorporates multiple technical analysis concepts including RSI, MFI, Stochastic oscillators, divergence detection, and an optional FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average) filter.
The Turbine Trader aims to provide traders with a flexible toolkit for identifying potential entry and exit points in the market. It presents information through a main signal line oscillator, a histogram, and various visual cues like dots, triangles, and divergence lines directly on the indicator panel. The strategy component allows users to define specific conditions based on these visual signals to trigger automated long or short trades within the TradingView environment.
This guide provides an overview of the strategy's components, settings, and usage. Please remember that this is a BETA version (v1.17). While developed with care, it may contain bugs or behave unexpectedly.

Core Concepts and Visual Elements
The Turbine Trader indicator displays several components in its own panel below the main price chart:
1. Signal Line (Avg & Avg2): This is the primary oscillator. It's a composite indicator derived from RSI, MFI (Money Flow Index), and Stochastic calculations, smoothed using an EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
Avg: The faster smoothed signal line.
Avg2: The slower smoothed signal line.
Color Coding: The space between Avg and Avg2 is filled. The color (Neon Blue/gColor or Neon Purple/rColor) indicates the trend based on the relationship between Avg and Avg2. Blue suggests bullish momentum (Avg > Avg2), while Purple suggests bearish momentum (Avg2 > Avg).
Zero Line Crosses: Crossovers of the Avg line with the zero level can indicate shifts in momentum.
2. Histogram (resMfi): This histogram is based on smoothed and transformed MFI calculations (Fast MFI and Slow MFI).
Color Coding: Bars are colored Neon Blue (histColorUp) when above zero, suggesting bullish pressure, and Neon Purple (histColorDn) when below zero, suggesting bearish pressure. Transparency is applied.
Zero Line Crosses: Crossovers of the histogram with the zero level can signal potential shifts in money flow.
3. Reversal Points (Dots): Dots appear on the Signal Line (specifically on Avg2) when the color changes (i.e., Avg crosses Avg2).
Small Dots: Appear when a reversal occurs while the oscillator is in an "extreme" zone (below -60 for bullish reversals, above +60 for bearish reversals).
Large Dots: Appear when a reversal occurs outside of these extreme zones.
Colors: Blue (gRdColor) for bullish reversals (Avg crossing above Avg2), Purple (rRdColor) for bearish reversals (Avg crossing below Avg2).
4. Take Profit (TP) Signals (Triangles): Small triangles appear above (+120) or below (-120) the zero line.
Bearish Triangle (Down, Purple rTpColor): Suggests a potential exit point for long positions or an entry point for short positions, based on the oscillator losing upward momentum above the 50 level.
Bullish Triangle (Up, Blue gTpColor): Suggests a potential exit point for short positions or an entry point for long positions, based on the oscillator losing downward momentum below the -50 level.
5. Divergence Lines: The strategy automatically detects and draws potential regular and hidden divergences between the price action (highs/lows) and the Signal Line (Avg).
Regular Bullish Divergence (White bullDivColor line, ⊚︎ label): Price makes a lower low, but the oscillator makes a higher low. Suggests potential bottoming.
Regular Bearish Divergence (White bearDivColor line, ⊚︎ label): Price makes a higher high, but the oscillator makes a lower high. Suggests potential topping.
Hidden Bullish Divergence (bullHidDivColor line, ⊚︎ label): Price makes a higher low, but the oscillator makes a lower low. Suggests potential continuation of an uptrend.
Hidden Bearish Divergence (bearHidDivColor line, ⊚︎ label): Price makes a lower high, but the oscillator makes a higher high. Suggests potential continuation of a downtrend.
Delete Broken Divergence Lines: If enabled, newer divergence lines originating from a similar point will replace older ones.
6. Status Line: A visual bar at the top (95 to 105) and bottom (-95 to -105) of the indicator panel. Its color intensity reflects the confluence of signals:
Score Calculation: +1 if Avg > Avg2, +1 if Avg > 0, +1 if Histogram > 0.
Top Bar (Bullish): Bright Blue (gStatColor) if score is 3, Faded Blue if score is 2, Black otherwise.
Bottom Bar (Bearish): Bright Purple (rStatColor) if score is 0, Faded Purple if score is 1, Black otherwise.
Strategy Settings Explained
The strategy's behavior is controlled via the settings panel (gear icon).
1. Date Range:
Start Date, End Date: Define the period for backtesting. Trades will only occur within this range.
2. Optional Webhook Configuration: (For Automation)
3C Email Token, 3C Bot ID: Enter your 3Commas API credentials if you plan to automate trading using webhooks. The strategy generates JSON alert messages compatible with 3Commas. You can go ahead and just leave the text field as defaulted, "TOKEN HERE" / "BOT ID HERE" if not using any bot automations at this time. You can always come back later and automate it. More info can be made available from QuantJazz should you need automation assistance with custom indicators and trading strategies.
3. 🚀 Signal Line:
Turn On/Off: Show or hide the main signal lines (Avg, Avg2).
gColor, rColor: Set the colors for bullish and bearish signal line states.
Length (RSI): The lookback period for the internal RSI calculation. Default is 2.
Smooth (EMA): The smoothing period for the EMAs applied to the composite signal. Default is 9.
RSI Source: The price source used for RSI calculation (default: close).
4. 📊 Histogram:
Turn On/Off: Show or hide the histogram.
histColorUp, histColorDn: Set the colors for positive and negative histogram bars.
Length (MFI): The base lookback period for MFI calculations. Default is 5. Fast and Slow MFI lengths are derived from this.
Smooth: Smoothing period for the final histogram output. Default is 1 (minimal smoothing).
5.💡 Other:
Show Divergence Line: Toggle visibility of regular divergence lines.
bullDivColor, bearDivColor: Colors for regular divergence lines.
Show Hidden Divergence: Toggle visibility of hidden divergence lines.
bullHidDivColor, bearHidDivColor: Colors for hidden divergence lines.
Show Status Line: Toggle visibility of the top/bottom status bars.
gStatColor, rStatColor: Colors for the status line bars.
Show TP Signal: Toggle visibility of the TP triangles.
gTpColor, rTpColor: Colors for the TP triangles.
Show Reversal points: Toggle visibility of the small/large dots on the signal line.
gRdColor, rRdColor: Colors for the reversal dots.
Delete Broken Divergence Lines: Enable/disable automatic cleanup of older divergence lines.
6. ⚙️ Strategy Inputs: (CRITICAL for Trade Logic)
This section defines which visual signals trigger trades. Each signal (Small/Large Dots, TP Triangles, Bright Bars, Signal/Histogram Crosses, Signal/Histogram Max/Min, Divergences) has a dropdown menu:
Long: This signal can trigger a long entry.
Short: This signal can trigger a short entry.
Disabled: This signal will not trigger any entry.
Must Be True Checkbox: If checked for a specific signal, that signal's condition must be met for any trade (long or short, depending on the dropdown selection for that signal) to be considered. Multiple "Must Be True" conditions act as AND logic – all must be true simultaneously.
How it Works:
The strategy first checks if all conditions marked as "Must Be True" (for the relevant trade direction - long or short) are met.
If all "Must Be True" conditions are met, it then checks if at least one of the conditions not marked as "Must Be True" (and set to "Long" or "Short" respectively) is also met.
If both steps pass, and other filters (like Date Range, FRAMA) allow, an entry order is placed.
Example: If "Large Bullish Dot" is set to "Long" and "Must Be True" is checked, AND "Bullish Divergence" is set to "Long" but "Must Be True" is not checked: A long entry requires BOTH the Large Bullish Dot AND the Bullish Divergence to occur simultaneously. If "Large Bullish Dot" was "Long" but not "Must Be True", then EITHER a Large Bullish Dot OR a Bullish Divergence could trigger a long entry (assuming no other "Must Be True" conditions are active).
Note: By default, the strategy is configured for long-only trades (strategy.risk.allow_entry_in(strategy.direction.long)). To enable short trades, you would need to comment out or remove this line in the Pine Script code and configure the "Strategy Inputs" accordingly.
7. 💰 Take Profit Settings:
Take Profit 1/2/3 (%): The percentage above the entry price (for longs) or below (for shorts) where each TP level is set. (e.g., 1.0 means 1% profit).
TP1/2/3 Percentage: The percentage of the currently open position to close when the corresponding TP level is hit. The percentages should ideally sum to 100% if you intend to close the entire position across the TPs.
Trailing Stop (%): The percentage below the highest high (for longs) or above the lowest low (for shorts) reached after the activation threshold, where the stop loss will trail.
Trailing Stop Activation (%): The minimum profit percentage the trade must reach before the trailing stop becomes active.
Re-entry Delay (Bars): The minimum number of bars to wait after a TP is hit before considering a re-entry. Default is 1 (allows immediate re-entry on the next bar if conditions met).
Re-entry Price Offset (%): The percentage the price must move beyond the previous TP level before a re-entry is allowed. This prevents immediate re-entry if the price hovers around the TP level.
8. 📈 FRAMA Filter: (Optional Trend Filter)
Use FRAMA Filter: Enable or disable the filter.
FRAMA Source, FRAMA Period, FRAMA Fast MA, FRAMA Slow MA: Parameters for the FRAMA calculation. Defaults provided are common starting points.
FRAMA Filter Type:
FRAMA > previous bars: Allows trades only if FRAMA is significantly above its recent average (defined by FRAMA Percentage and FRAMA Lookback). Typically used to confirm strong upward trends for longs.
FRAMA < price: Allows trades only if FRAMA is below the current price (framaSource). Can act as a baseline trend filter.
FRAMA Percentage (X), FRAMA Lookback (Y): Used only for the FRAMA > previous bars filter type.
How it Affects Trades: If Use FRAMA Filter is enabled:
Long entries require the FRAMA filter condition to be true.
Short entries require the FRAMA filter condition to be false (as currently coded, this acts as an inverse filter for shorts if enabled).
How to Use the Strategy
1. Apply to Chart: Open your desired chart on TradingView. Click "Indicators", find "QuantJazz Turbine Trader BETA v1.17" (you might need to add it via Invite-only scripts or if published publicly), and add it to your chart. The oscillator appears below the price chart, and the strategy tester panel opens at the bottom.
2. Configure Strategy Properties: In the Pine Script code itself (or potentially via the UI if supported), adjust the strategy() function parameters like initial_capital, default_qty_value, commission_value, slippage, etc., to match your account, broker fees, and risk settings. The user preferences provided (e.g., 1000 initial capital, 0.1% commission) are examples. Remember use_bar_magnifier is false by default in v1.17.
3. Configure Inputs (Settings Panel):
Set the Date Range for backtesting.
Crucially, configure the ⚙️ Strategy Inputs. Decide which signals should trigger entries and whether they are mandatory ("Must Be True"). Start simply, perhaps enabling only one or two signals initially, and test thoroughly. Remember the default long-only setting unless you modify the code.
Set up your 💰 Take Profit Settings, including TP levels, position size percentages for each TP, and the trailing stop parameters. Decide if you want to use the re-entry feature.
Decide whether to use the 📈 FRAMA Filter and configure its parameters if enabled.
Adjust visual elements (🚀 Signal Line, 📊 Histogram, 💡 Other) as needed for clarity.
4. Backtest: Use the Strategy Tester panel in TradingView. Analyze the performance metrics (Net Profit, Max Drawdown, Profit Factor, Win Rate, Trade List) across different assets, timeframes, and setting configurations. Pay close attention to how different "Strategy Inputs" combinations perform.
5. Refine: Based on backtesting results, adjust the input settings, TP/SL strategy, and signal combinations to optimize performance for your chosen market and timeframe, while being mindful of overfitting.
6. Automation (Optional): If using 3Commas or a similar platform:
Enter your 3C Email Token and 3C Bot ID in the settings.
Create alerts in TradingView (right-click on the chart or use the Alert panel).
Set the Condition to "QuantJazz Turbine Trader BETA v1.17".
In the "Message" box, paste the corresponding placeholder, which will pass the message in JSON from our custom code to TradingView to pass through your webhook: {{strategy.order.alert_message}}.
In the next tab, configure the Webhook URL provided by your automation platform. Put a Whale sound, while you're at it! 🐳
When an alert triggers, TradingView will send the pre-formatted JSON message from the strategy code to your webhook URL.
Final Notes
The QuantJazz Turbine Trader BETA v1.17 offers a wide range of customizable signals and strategy logic. Its effectiveness heavily depends on proper configuration and thorough backtesting specific to the traded asset and timeframe. Start with the default settings, understand each component, and methodically test different combinations of signals and parameters. Remember the inherent risks of trading and never invest capital you cannot afford to lose.

3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE [SwissAlgo]
Introduction
Are you tired of tracking cryptocurrency charts and placing orders manually on your Exchange?
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE is an automated trading system designed to identify and execute potential trading setups on multiple cryptocurrencies ( simultaneously ) on your preferred Exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate.io, Bitget) via 3Commas integration.
It analyzes price action, volume, momentum, volatility, and trend patterns across two categories of USDT Perpetual coins: the 'Top Major Coins' category (11 established cryptocurrencies) and your Custom Category (up to 10 coins of your choice).
The indicator sends real-time trading signals directly to your 3Commas bots for automated execution, identifying both trend-following and contrarian trading opportunities in all market conditions.
Trade automatically all coins of one or more selected categories:
----------------------------------------------
What it Does
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE is a technical analysis tool that monitors multiple cryptocurrency pairs simultaneously and connects with 3Commas for signal delivery and execution.
Here's how the strategy works:
🔶 Technical Analysis : Analyzes price action, volume, momentum, volatility, and trend patterns across USDT Perpetual Futures contracts simultaneously.
🔶 Pattern Detection : Identifies specific candle patterns and technical confluences that suggest potential trading setups across USDT.P contracts of the selected category.
🔶 Signal Generation : When technical criteria are met at bar close, the indicator creates deal-start signals for the relevant pairs.
🔶 3Commas Integration : Packages these signals and delivers them to 3Commas through TradingView alerts, allowing 3Commas bots to receive specific pair information ('Deal-Start' signals).
🔶 Category Management : Each TradingView alert monitors an entire category, allowing selective activation of different crypto categories.
🔶 Visual Feedback : Provides color-coded candles and backgrounds to visualize technical conditions, with optional pivot points and trend visualization.
Candle types
Signals
----------------------------------------------
Quick Start Guide
1. Setup 3Commas Bots : Configure two DCA bots in 3Commas (All USDT pairs) - one for LONG positions and one for SHORT positions.
2. Define Trading Parameters : Set your budget for each trade and adjust your preferred sensitivity within the indicator settings.
3. Create Category Alerts : Set up one TradingView alert for each crypto category you want to trade.
That's it! Once configured, the system automatically sends signals to your 3Commas bots when predefined trading setups are detected across coins in your selected/activated categories. The indicator scans all coins at bar close (for example, every hour on the 1H timeframe) and triggers trade execution only for those showing technical confluences.
Important : Consider your total capital when enabling categories. More details about the setup process are provided below (see paragraph "Detailed Setup & Configuration").
----------------------------------------------
Built-in Backtesting
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE includes backtesting visualization for each coin. When viewing any USDT Perpetual pair on your chart, you can visualize how the strategy would have performed historically on that specific asset.
Color-coded candles and signal markers show past trading setups, helping you evaluate which coins responded best to the strategy. This built-in backtesting capability can support your selection of assets/categories to trade before deploying real capital.
As backtesting results are hypothetical and do not guarantee future performance, your research and analysis are essential for selecting the crypto categories/coins to trade.
The default strategy settings are: Start Capital 1,000$, leverage 10X, Commissions 0.1% (average Taker Fee on Exchanges for average users), Order Amount 200$ for Longs/Shorts, Slippage 4

Methodology
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE utilizes a multi-faceted approach to identify potential trading setups:
1. Price Action Analysis : Detects abnormal price movements by comparing the current candle's range to historical averages and standard deviations, helping identify potential "pump and dump" scenarios or new-trends start
2. Price Momentum : Evaluates the relative strength of bullish vs. bearish price movements over time, indicating the build-up of buying or selling pressure.
3. Volume Analysis: Identifies unusual volume spikes by comparing current volume to historical averages, signaling strong market interest in a particular direction.
4. Volume Momentum : Measures the ratio of bullish to bearish volume, revealing the dominance of buyers or sellers over time.
5. Trend Analysis : Combines EMA slopes, RSI, and Stochastic RSI to determine overall trend direction and strength.
6. Volatility : Monitors the ATR (Average True Range) to detect periods of increased market volatility, which may indicate potential breakouts or reversals
7. Candle Wick Analysis : Evaluates upper and lower wick percentages to detect potential rejection patterns and reversals.
8. Pivot Point Analysis : Uses pivot points (PP, R1-R3, S1-S3) for identifying key support/resistance areas and potential breakout/breakdown levels.
9. Daily Open Reference: Analyzes price action relative to the daily open for potential setups related to price movement vs. the opening price
10. Market Timing/Liquidity : Evaluates high/low liquidity periods, specific days/times of heightened risk, and potential market manipulation timeframes.
11. Boost Factors : Applies additional weight to certain confluence patterns to adjust global scores
These factors are combined into a "Global Score" ranging from -1 to +1 , applied at bar close to the newly formed candles.
Scores above predefined thresholds (configurable via the Sensitivity Settings) indicate strong bullish or bearish conditions and trigger signals based on predefined patterns. The indicator then applies additional filters to generate specific "Trend Following" and "Contrarian" trading signals. The identified signals are packaged and sent to 3Commas for execution.

FAQs
General Questions
❓ Q: What features are included in this indicator? A: This indicator provides access to the "Top Major Coins" category and a custom category option where you can define up to 10 pairs of your choice. It includes multi-exchange support, 3Commas integration, a dual strategy approach, visual indicators, trade controls, and comprehensive backtesting capabilities. The indicator is optimized to manage up to 2 trades per hour/category with leverage up to 10x and trade sizes up to 500 USDT - everything needed for traders looking to automate their crypto trading across multiple pairs simultaneously.
❓ Q: What is Global Score? A: The Global Score serves as a foundation for signal generation. When a candle's score exceeds certain thresholds (defined by your Risk Level setting), it becomes a candidate for signal generation. However, not all high-scoring candles generate trading signals - the indicator applies additional pattern recognition and contextual filters. For example, a strongly positive score (lime candle) in an established uptrend may trigger a "Trend Following" signal, while a strongly negative score (red candle) in a downtrend might generate a "Trend following Short" signal. Similarly, contrarian signals are generated when specific reversal patterns occur alongside appropriate Global Score values, often involving wick analysis and pivot point interactions. This multi-layer approach helps filter out false positives and identify higher-probability trading setups.
❓ Q: What's the difference between "Trend following" and "Contrarian" signals in the script? A: "Trend Following" signals follow the identified trends while "Contrarian" signals anticipate potential trend reversals.
❓ Q: Why don't I see any signals on my chart? A: Make sure you're viewing a USDT Perpetual pair from your selected exchange that belongs to the crypto category you've chosen to analyze. For example, if you've selected the "Top Major Coins" category with Binance as your exchange, you need to view a chart of one of those specific pairs (like BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P) to see signals. If you switch exchanges, for example from Binance to Bybit, you need to pull a Bybit pair on the chart to see backtesting data and signals.
❓ Q: Does this indicator guarantee profits? A: No. Trading cryptocurrencies involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. This indicator is a tool to help you identify potential trading setups, but it does not and cannot guarantee profits.
❓ Q: Does this indicator repaint or use lookahead bias? A: No. All trading signals generated by this indicator are based only on completed price data and do not repaint. The system is designed to ensure that backtesting results reflect as closely as possible what you should experience in live trading.
While reference levels like pivot points are kept stable throughout the day using lookahead on, the actual buy and sell signals are calculated using only historical data (lookahead off) that would have been available at that moment in time. This ensures reliability and consistency between backtesting and real-time trading performance.
Technical Setup
❓ Q: What exchanges are supported? A: The strategy supports BINANCE, BYBIT, BITGET, GATEIO, and OKX USDT Perpetual markets (i.e. all the Exchanges you can connect to your 3Commas account for USDT Perpetual trading, excluding Coinbase Perpetual that offers USDC pairs, instead of USDT).
❓ Q: What timeframe should I use? A: The indicator is optimized for the 1-hour (1H) timeframe but may run on any timeframe.
❓ Q: How many coins can I trade at once? A: You can trade all coins within the selected category. You can activate categories by setting up alerts.
❓ Q: How many alerts do I need to set up? A: You need to set up one alert for each crypto category you want to trade. We recommend starting with one category, testing the results carefully, monitoring performance daily, and perhaps activating additional categories in a second stage.
❓ Q: Are there any specific risk management features built into the indicator? A: Yes, the indicator includes risk management features: adjustable maximum trades per hour/category, the ability to enable/disable long or short signals depending on market conditions, customizable trade size for both long and short positions, and different sensitivity/risk level settings.
❓ Q: What happens if 3Commas can't execute a signal? A: If 3Commas cannot execute a signal (due to insufficient funds, bot offline, etc.), the trade will be skipped. The indicator will continue sending signals for other valid setups, but it doesn't retry failed signals.
❓ Q: Can I run this indicator on multiple charts at once? A: Yes, but it's not necessary. The indicator analyzes all coins in your selected categories regardless of which chart you apply it to. For optimal resource usage, apply it to a single chart of a USDT Perpetual pair from your selected exchange. To stop trading a category, simply delete the alert created for that category.
❓ Q: How frequently does the indicator scan for new signals? A: The indicator scans all coins in your selected categories at the close of each bar (every hour if you selected the 1H timeframe).

That's it! Once configured, the system automatically sends signals to your 3Commas bots when predefined trading setups are detected across coins in your selected/activated categories. The indicator scans all coins at bar close (for example, every hour on the 1H timeframe) and triggers trade execution only for those showing technical confluences.
Important : The more categories you activate by setting TradingView alerts, the more signals your 3Commas bots will receive. Consider your total capital when enabling multiple categories. More details about the setup process are provided below (see paragraph "Detailed Setup & Configuration")
-------------------------------------
Built-in Backtesting
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper PRO includes backtesting visualization for each coin. When viewing any USDT Perpetual pair on your chart, you can visualize how the strategy would have performed historically on that specific asset.
Color-coded candles and signal markers show past trading setups, helping you evaluate which coins responded best to the strategy. This built-in backtesting capability can support your selection of assets/categories to trade before deploying real capital.
As backtesting results are hypothetical and do not guarantee future performance, your research and analysis are essential for selecting the crypto categories/coins to trade.
The default strategy settings are: Start Capital 1.000$, leverage 25X, Commissions 0.1% (average Taker Fee on Exchanges for average users), Order Amount 200$ for Longs/150$ for Shorts, Slippage 4

Methodology
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper PRO utilizes a multi-faceted approach to identify potential trading setups:
1. Price Action Analysis : Detects abnormal price movements by comparing the current candle's range to historical averages and standard deviations, helping identify potential "pump and dump" scenarios or new-trends start
2. Price Momentum : Evaluates the relative strength of bullish vs. bearish price movements over time, indicating the build-up of buying or selling pressure.
3. Volume Analysis: Identifies unusual volume spikes by comparing current volume to historical averages, signaling strong market interest in a particular direction.
4. Volume Momentum : Measures the ratio of bullish to bearish volume, revealing the dominance of buyers or sellers over time.
5. Trend Analysis : Combines EMA slopes, RSI, and Stochastic RSI to determine overall trend direction and strength.
6. Volatility : Monitors the ATR (Average True Range) to detect periods of increased market volatility, which may indicate potential breakouts or reversals
7. Candle Wick Analysis : Evaluates upper and lower wick percentages to detect potential rejection patterns and reversals.
8. Pivot Point Analysis : Uses pivot points (PP, R1-R3, S1-S3) for identifying key support/resistance areas and potential breakout/breakdown levels.
9. Daily Open Reference: Analyzes price action relative to the daily open for potential setups related to price movement vs. the opening price
10. Market Timing/Liquidity : Evaluates high/low liquidity periods, specific days/times of heightened risk, and potential market manipulation timeframes.
11. Boost Factors : Applies additional weight to certain confluence patterns to adjust global scores
These factors are combined into a "Global Score" ranging from -1 to +1 , applied at bar close to the newly formed candles.
Scores above predefined thresholds (configurable via the Sensitivity Settings) indicate strong bullish or bearish conditions and trigger signals based on predefined patterns. The indicator then applies additional filters to generate specific "Trend Following" and "Contrarian" trading signals. The identified signals are packaged and sent to 3Commas for execution.

FAQs
General Questions
❓ Q: What is Global Score? A: The Global Score serves as a foundation for signal generation. When a candle's score exceeds certain thresholds (defined by your Risk Level setting), it becomes a candidate for signal generation. However, not all high-scoring candles generate trading signals - the indicator applies additional pattern recognition and contextual filters. For example, a strongly positive score (lime candle) in an established uptrend may trigger a "Trend Following" signal, while a strongly negative score (red candle) in a downtrend might generate a "Trend Following Short" signal. Similarly, contrarian signals are generated when specific reversal patterns occur alongside appropriate Global Score values, often involving wick analysis and pivot point interactions. This multi-layer approach helps filter out false positives and identify higher-probability trading setups.
❓ Q: What's the difference between "Trend following" and "Contrarian" signals in the script? A: "Trend Following" signals follow the identified trends while "Contrarian" signals anticipate potential trend reversals.
❓ Q: Why can't I configure all the parameters? A: We've designed the solution to be plug-and-play to prevent users from getting lost in endless configurations. The preset values have been tested against their trade-offs in terms of financial performance, average trade duration, and risk levels.
❓ Q: Why don't I see any signals on my chart? A: Make sure you're viewing a USDT Perpetual pair from your selected exchange that belongs to the crypto category you've chosen to analyze. For example, if you've selected the "Top Major Coins" category with Binance as your exchange, you need to view a chart of one of those specific pairs (like BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P) to see signals. If you switch exchanges, for example from Binance to Bybit, you need to pull a Bybit pair on the chart to see backtesting data and signals.
❓ Q: Does this indicator guarantee profits? A: No. Trading cryptocurrencies involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. This indicator is a tool to help you identify potential trading setups, but it does not and cannot guarantee profits.
❓ Q: Does this indicator repaint or use lookahead bias? A: No. All trading signals generated by this indicator are based only on completed price data and do not repaint. The system is designed to ensure that backtesting results reflect as closely as possible what you should experience in live trading.
While reference levels like pivot points are kept stable throughout the day using lookahead on, the actual buy and sell signals are calculated using only historical data (lookahead off) that would have been available at that moment in time. This ensures reliability and consistency between backtesting and real-time trading performance.
Technical Setup
❓ Q: What exchanges are supported? A: The strategy supports BINANCE, BYBIT, BITGET, GATEIO, and OKX USDT Perpetual markets (i.e. all the Exchanges you can connect to your 3Commas account for USDT Perpetual trading, excluding Coinbase Perpetual that offers UDSC pairs, instead of USDT).
❓ Q: What timeframe should I use? A: The indicator is optimized for the 1-hour (1H) timeframe but may run on any timeframe.
❓ Q: How many coins can I trade at once? A: You can trade all coins within each selected category (up to 11 coins per category in standard categories). You can activate multiple categories by setting up multiple alerts.
❓ Q: How many alerts do I need to set up? A: You need to set up one alert for each crypto category you want to trade. For example, if you want to trade both the "Top Major Coins" and the "DeFi" categories, you'll need to create two separate alerts, one for each category. We recommend starting with one category, testing the results carefully, monitoring performance daily, and perhaps activating additional categories in a second stage.
❓ Q: Are there any specific risk management features built into the indicator? A: Yes, the indicator includes risk management features: adjustable maximum trades per hour/category, the ability to enable/disable long or short signals depending on market conditions, customizable trade size for both long and short positions, and different sensitivity/risk level settings.
❓ Q: What happens if 3Commas can't execute a signal? A: If 3Commas cannot execute a signal (due to insufficient funds, bot offline, etc.), the trade will be skipped. The indicator will continue sending signals for other valid setups, but it doesn't retry failed signals.
❓ Q: Can I run this indicator on multiple charts at once? A: Yes, but it's not necessary. The indicator analyzes all coins in your selected categories regardless of which chart you apply it to. For optimal resource usage, apply it to a single chart of a USDT Perpetual pair from your selected exchange. To stop trading a category delete the alert created for that category.
❓ Q: How frequently does the indicator scan for new signals? A: The indicator scans all coins in your selected categories at the close of each bar (every hour if you selected the 1H timeframe).
3Commas Integration
❓ Q: Do I need a 3Commas account? A: Yes, a 3Commas account with active DCA bots (both LONG and SHORT) is required for automated trade execution. A paid subscription is needed, as multipair Bots and multiple simultaneous deals are involved.
❓ Q: How do I set the leverage? A: Set the leverage identically in both the indicator settings and your 3Commas DCA bots (the max supported leverage is 50x). Always be careful about leverage, as it amplifies both profits and losses.
❓ Q: Where do I find my 3Commas Bot IDs and Email Token? A: Open your 3Commas DCA bot and scroll to the "Messages" section. You'll find the Bot ID and Email Token within any message (e.g., "Start Deal").
Display Settings
❓ Q: What does the Sensitivity setting do? A: It adjusts the sensitivity of signal generation. "Default" provides a balanced approach with moderate signal frequency. "Aggressive" lowers the thresholds for signal generation, potentially increasing trade frequency but may include more noise. "Test Mode" is the most sensitive setting, useful for testing alert configurations but not recommended for live trading. Higher risk levels may generate more signals but with potentially lower average quality, while lower risk levels produce fewer but potentially better signals.
❓ Q: What does "Show fired alerts" do? A: The "Show fired alerts" option displays a label on your chart showing which signals have been fired and sent to 3Commas during the most recent candle closes. This visual indicator helps you confirm that your alerts are working properly and shows which coins from your selected category have triggered signals. It's useful when setting up and testing the system, allowing you to verify that signals are being sent to 3Commas as expected and their frequency over time.
❓ Q: What does "Show coin/token metrics" do? A: This toggle displays detailed technical metrics for the specific coin/token currently shown on your chart. When enabled, it shows statistics for the last closed candle for that coin.
❓ Q: What does "Show most liquid days/times" do? A: This toggle displays color-coded background highlighting to indicate periods of varying market liquidity throughout the trading week. Green backgrounds show generally higher liquidity periods (typically weekday trading hours), yellow highlights potentially manipulative periods (often Sunday/Monday overnight), and gray indicates low liquidity periods (when major markets are closed or during late hours).

[3Commas] Turtle StrategyTurtle Strategy
🔷 What it does: This indicator implements a modernized version of the Turtle Trading Strategy, designed for trend-following and automated trading with webhook integration. It identifies breakout opportunities using Donchian channels, providing entry and exit signals.
Channel 1: Detects short-term breakouts using the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period (default 20).
Channel 2: Acts as a confirmation filter by applying an offset to the same period, reducing false signals.
Exit Channel: Functions as a dynamic stop-loss (wait for candle close), adjusting based on market structure (default 10 periods).
Additionally, traders can enable a fixed Take Profit level, ensuring a systematic approach to profit-taking.
🔷 Who is it for:
Trend Traders: Those looking to capture long-term market moves.
Bot Users: Traders seeking to automate entries and exits with bot integration.
Rule-Based Traders: Operators who prefer a structured, systematic trading approach.
🔷 How does it work: The strategy generates buy and sell signals using a dual-channel confirmation system.
Long Entry: A buy signal is generated when the close price crosses above the previous high of Channel 1 and is confirmed by Channel 2.
Short Entry: A sell signal occurs when the close price falls below the previous low of Channel 1, with confirmation from Channel 2.
Exit Management: The Exit Channel acts as a trailing stop, dynamically adjusting to price movements. To exit the trade, wait for a full bar close.
Optional Take Profit (%): Closes trades at a predefined %.
🔷 Why it’s unique:
Modern Adaptation: Updates the classic Turtle Trading Strategy, with the possibility of using a second channel with an offset to filter the signals.
Dynamic Risk Management: Utilizes a trailing Exit Channel to help protect gains as trades move favorably.
Bot Integration: Automates trade execution through direct JSON signal communication with your DCA Bots.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator:
Market & Timeframe: Best suited for trending markets; higher timeframes (e.g., H4, D1) are recommended to minimize noise.
Sideways Markets: In choppy conditions, breakouts may lead to false signals—consider using additional filters.
Backtesting & Demo Testing: It is crucial to thoroughly backtest the strategy and run it on a demo account before risking real capital.
Parameter Adjustments: Ensure that commissions, slippage, and position sizes are set accurately to reflect real trading conditions.

🔷 How to Use It:
🔸 Adjust Settings:
Select your asset and timeframe suited for trend trading.
Adjust the periods for Channel 1, Channel 2, and the Exit Channel to align with the asset’s historical behavior. You can visualize these channels by going to the Style tab and enabling them.
For example, if you set Channel 2 to 40 with an offset of 40, signals will take longer to appear but will aim for a more defined trend.
Experiment with different values, a possible exit configuration is using 20 as well. Compare the results and adjust accordingly.
Enable the Take Profit (%) option if needed.
🔸Results Review:
It is important to check the Max Drawdown. This value should ideally not exceed 10% of your capital. Consider adjusting the trade size to ensure this threshold is not surpassed.
Remember to include the correct values for commission and slippage according to the symbol and exchange where you are conducting the tests. Otherwise, the results will not be realistic.
If you are satisfied with the results, you may consider automating your trades. However, it is strongly recommended to use a small amount of capital or a demo account to test proper execution before committing real funds.
🔸Create alerts to trigger the DCA Bot:
Verify Messages: Ensure the message matches the one specified by the DCA Bot.

[3Commas] HA & MAHA & MA
🔷What it does: This tool is designed to test a trend-following strategy using Heikin Ashi candles and moving averages. It enters trades after pullbacks, aiming to let profits run once the risk-to-reward ratio reaches 1:1 while securing the position.
🔷Who is it for: It is ideal for traders looking to compare final results using fixed versus dynamic take profits by adjusting parameters and trade direction—a concept applicable to most trading strategies.
🔷How does it work: We use moving averages to define the market trend, then wait for opposite Heikin Ashi candles to form against it. Once these candles reverse in favor of the trend, we enter the trade, using the last swing created by the pullback as the stop loss. By applying the breakeven ratio, we protect the trade and let it run, using the slower moving average as a trailing stop.
A buy signal is generated when:
The previous candle is bearish (ha_bear ), indicating a pullback.
The fast moving average (ma1) is above the slow moving average (ma2), confirming an uptrend.
The current candle is bullish (ha_bull), showing trend continuation.
The Heikin Ashi close is above the fast moving average (ma1), reinforcing the bullish bias.
The real price close is above the open (close > open), ensuring bullish momentum in actual price data.
The signal is confirmed on the closed candle (barstate.isconfirmed) to avoid premature signals.
dir is undefined (na(dir)), preventing repeated signals in the same direction.
A sell signal is generated when:
The previous candle is bullish (ha_bull ), indicating a temporary upward move before a potential reversal.
The fast moving average (ma1) is below the slow moving average (ma2), confirming a downtrend.
The current candle is bearish (ha_bear), showing trend continuation to the downside.
The Heikin Ashi close is below the fast moving average (ma1), reinforcing bearish pressure.
The real price close is below the open (close < open), confirming bearish momentum in actual price data.
The signal is confirmed after the candle closes (barstate.isconfirmed), avoiding premature entries.
dir is undefined (na(dir)), preventing consecutive signals in the same direction.
In simple terms, this setup looks for trend continuation after a pullback, confirming entries with both Heikin Ashi and real price action, supported by moving average alignment to avoid false signals.
If the price reaches a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, the stop will be moved to the entry point. However, if the slow moving average surpasses this level, it will become the new exit point, acting as a trailing stop
🔷Why It’s Unique
Easily visualizes the benefits of using risk-to-reward ratios when trading instead of fixed percentages.
Provides a simple and straightforward approach to trading, embracing the "keep it simple" concept.
Offers clear visualization of DCA Bot entry and exit points based on user preferences.
Includes an option to review the message format before sending signals to bots, with compatibility for multi-pair and futures contract pairs.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator
⚠️Very important: The indicator must be used on charts with real price data, such as Japanese candlesticks, line charts, etc. Do not use it on Heikin Ashi charts, as this may lead to unrealistic results.
🔸Since this is a trend-following strategy, use it on timeframes above 4 hours, where market noise is reduced and trends are clearer. Also, carefully review the statistics before using it, focusing on pairs that tend to have long periods of well-defined trends.
🔸Disadvantages:
False Signals in Ranges: Consolidating markets can generate unreliable signals.
Lagging Indicator: Being based on moving averages, it may react late to sudden price movements.
🔸Advantages:
Trend Focused: Simplifies the identification of trending markets.
Noise Reduction: Uses Heikin Ashi candles to identify trend continuation after pullbacks.
Broad Applicability: Suitable for forex, crypto, stocks, and commodities.
🔸The strategy provides a systematic way to analyze markets but does not guarantee successful outcomes. Use it as an additional tool rather than relying solely on an automated system.
Trading results depend on various factors, including market conditions, trader discipline, and risk management. Past performance does not ensure future success, so always approach the market cautiously.
🔸Risk Management: Define stop-loss levels, position sizes, and profit targets before entering any trade. Be prepared for potential losses and ensure your approach aligns with your overall trading plan.

Average # Bars in Trades: 13.
🔷 HOW TO USE
🔸 Adjust Settings:
The default values—MA1 (9) and MA2 (18) with EMA calculation—generally work well. However, you can increase these values, such as 20 and 40, to better identify stronger trends.
🔸 Choose a Symbol that Typically Trends:
Select an asset that tends to form clear trends. Keep in mind that the Strategy Tester results may show poor performance for certain assets, making them less suitable for sending signals to bots.
🔸 Experiment with Ratios:
Test different take profit and breakeven ratios to compare various scenarios—especially to observe how the strategy performs when only the trade is protected.
🔸This is an example of how protecting the trade works: once the price moves in favor of the position with a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, the stop loss is moved to the entry price. If the Slow MA surpasses this level, it will act as a trailing stop, aiming to follow the trend and maximize potential gains.
🔸In contrast, in this example, for the same trade, if we set a take profit at a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio—which is generally considered a good risk-reward relationship—we can see how a significant portion of the upward move is left on the table.
🔸Results Review:
It is important to check the Max Drawdown. This value should ideally not exceed 10% of your capital. Consider adjusting the trade size to ensure this threshold is not surpassed.
Remember to include the correct values for commission and slippage according to the symbol and exchange where you are conducting the tests. Otherwise, the results will not be realistic.
If you are satisfied with the results, you may consider automating your trades. However, it is strongly recommended to use a small amount of capital or a demo account to test proper execution before committing real funds.

Altcoins DCA ScalperIntroduction
The Altcoins DCA Scalper is a Pine Strategy Script designed to automate Altcoins trading through 3Commas integration. It implements a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy that expands upon 3Commas' standard DCA capabilities, helping to manage risk while trading both long and short positions automatically.
This tool aims to assist both beginners exploring automated trading and experienced 3Commas users seeking dynamic DCA automation. The script is specifically designed for the 1-minute timeframe , where it has shown a good balance between performance and risk management. Complete setup typically takes less than 10 minutes, with a detailed guide making configuration straightforward for users of all experience levels.
------------------------------
🔶 What is DCA?
------------------------------
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) refers to the practice of gradually increasing your position size at lower prices when trading long, or at higher prices when trading short, to achieve a better average entry price if the market moves against the initial entry . Instead of investing all capital at once, which could result in a significant drawdown if the price moves unfavorably, DCA spreads entries across different price levels to help manage potential drawdowns as they occur.
In this script, DCA is implemented through a system that:
🔹 Triggers safety orders only when/if needed (if take profit isn't reached quickly)
🔹 Dynamically adjusts order sizing based on market volatility
🔹 Automatically reduces take profit targets after each DCA order to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome
🔹 Can handle drawdowns depending on market volatility and settings
The images below illustrate two scenarios: one where an entry reaches the take profit directly, without activating DCA orders, and another where DCA is utilized, with the order closing positively after two DCA orders.
Case 1: Order closes in profit after entry
Case 2: Order closes in profit after 2 DCA orders (dynamically placed based on trend and volatility)
This DCA implementation aims to enhance standard 3Commas DCA by adding market-adaptive features while maintaining risk management principles.
------------------------------
🔶 Could this strategy script benefit you?

Note: While this strategy employs automation and risk management, trading always carries the risk of loss. No system can guarantee profits, and market conditions significantly impact performance. Always do your own research and monitor your positions closely.
------------------------------
How to Use
------------------------------
Setting up the Altcoins DCA Scalper is quick and facilitated by the User Interface:
1️⃣ 3Commas/TradingView Setup
* Create two 3Commas accounts if using the FREE plan:
* One account for Long Bot
* One account for Short Bot
* This split allows full functionality while staying within 3Commas' free tier limits
* You do not need two separate accounts if you have a Paid 3Commas subscription
* While a free TradingView account works with the script, it limits you to one trading pair and a 4-day backtesting history. A paid TradingView subscription removes these limitations (such as the "Essential" plan).
2️⃣ Bot Configuration
* Create one Long and one Short DCA Bot in 3Commas
* Follow the setup guide available in the script itself for hassle-free configuration
* Copy Bot IDs and Email Token for script connection
* No complex settings needed - the script manages all DCA parameters by itself
3️⃣ Script Implementation
* Apply the script to your TradingView charts
* Use the built-in backtesting to analyze performance on different pairs
* Focus on USDT.P futures pairs with good volatility
4️⃣ Trading Activation
* Create TradingView alerts for each trading pair you want to activate
* Example: Set an alert for BINANCE: XRPUSDT.P following the in-script guide
* The script automatically manages all aspects:
* Entry and exit decisions
* DCA execution
* Risk management
* Position monitoring
Capital Requirements
* Important: Ensure sufficient capital to cover all activated pairs
* Consider volatility class when allocating capital to specific pairs
Once setup is complete, the script operates fully automatically while you maintain complete control of your funds through 3Commas and your exchange.
Note: While the setup is straightforward, always start with a small number of pairs and monitor performance before expanding. Trade responsibly and never risk more than you can afford to lose.

------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions
------------------------------
Here are some common questions you may have, and our answers:
❓ Is this tool only for experts? I'm new to algo trading, can I use it?
No, the Altcoins DCA Scalper could be used by both beginners and experienced traders. The setup process is guided, and the algorithm handles all the calculations in the background.
❓ I'm not familiar with 3Commas. Is that a problem?
While the script is designed to work with 3Commas, a step-by-step guide is provided within the script to help you set up your 3Commas accounts and bots, if needed.
❓ Do I need to constantly monitor the script after it's set up?
No, after the initial setup and configuration, the script operates autonomously. It handles all aspects of trading including entries, exits, DCA management, and risk controls. However, we recommend:
* Checking performance metrics daily
* Reviewing position statistics weekly
* Adjusting pair selection monthly based on performance
* Monitoring overall market conditions that might require adjustments
❓ Can I use it with leverage?
Yes, the script is designed to work with leverage up to 5x on perpetual futures pairs (USDT.P). It includes specific features for leveraged trading:
* Dynamic safety order placement based on distance to liquidation
* Pre-liquidation exit system to minimize exchange fees
* Adjustable take-profit targets optimized for leveraged positions
* Emergency exit system for extreme market movements
* Optional risk controls specific to leverage:
* Automatic exit in the liquidation danger zone
* Position size scaling based on leverage level
* Safety order adjustments for different leverage settings
While leverage can amplify returns, it also increases risk. We recommend starting with lower leverage (2x), or no leverage at all, until familiar with the script's operation.
❓ Does this script guarantee profits?
No, no script or trading strategy can guarantee profits. The Altcoins DCA Scalper provides a framework for implementing an automated DCA strategy, but your success will depend on many different factors and conditions.
❓ Do I need to understand the complex algorithms used in the script?
No, it’s not necessary. The logic is handled by the script, and you do not need to understand every detail to use it effectively. However, a basic knowledge of DCA concepts will be beneficial.
❓ Can I use this script with spot or leveraged trades?
The script is optimized for USDT.P pairs (perpetual futures) with leverage up to 5x. This allows:
* Automatic long/short position management
* Increased capital utilization
* Full DCA functionality without holding the underlying assets
* Enhanced risk management features specific to futures
While spot trading is possible, it requires holding underlying assets for shorts and doesn't access the script's full capabilities.
❓What timeframe should I use?
This script is optimized for the 1-minute timeframe , which is the recommended setting for the best balance between performance, capital efficiency, and risk. While we recommend using the tool on the 1 minute TF, it would work on other timeframes too.
❓ What happens if my internet/computer goes down?
Since the script sends signals from Tradingview to 3Commas (which executes trades on your exchange), your positions and DCA management continue to function even if your TradingView chart is closed or your computer is off. The script only needs to be active to generate new signals.
❓ How are the DCA parameters determined?
The script dynamically adjusts DCA parameters based on:
* The pair's volatility class (compared to the overall altcoin market)
* Current market conditions and volatility
* Position direction (long/short)
* Leverage settings
* Number of safety orders already executed
This allows for adaptive/dynamic DCA compared to static or %-based parameters.
❓ What exchanges are supported?
The script works with any exchange supported by 3Commas for futures trading (approximately 15 different crypto Exchanges). However, it's optimized for Binance Futures (USDT.P pairs) due to its high liquidity and for consistency.
❓ What happens during extreme market conditions?
The script includes some (optional) protective measures that can be activated:
* Emergency exits during sharp and abnormal market moves
* Automatic adjustment of DCA parameters during high volatility
* Position closure on significant trend changes
* Special handling of aged positions
These features aim to protect capital during unusual market conditions.
❓How many pairs can I trade simultaneously?
This depends on your total capital. As a general indication, define the number of pairs to activate based on:
* Total available capital
* Desired position size per pair
* Risk tolerance
* Pairs' volatility class
------------------------------
Final Thoughts
------------------------------
We believe that your trading performance will greatly depend on your selection of appropriate trading pairs for this script (high volatility), and your commitment to regularly monitoring its performance and adjust the settings, rather than on the script alone.

[3Commas] Alligator StrategyThe Alligator Strategy
🔷 What it does: This script implements the Alligator Strategy, a trend-following method created by Bill Williams. It uses three customizable moving averages (SMMAs or RMAs) "Jaws," "Teeth," and "Lips" to identify market trends and potential trade opportunities. Additionally, it includes built-in stop-loss and take-profit options for enhanced risk management.
🔷 Who is it for:
Trend Traders: Those who prefer trading in markets with clear directional movement.
Advanced Users: Traders who require customizable tools and dynamic risk management features.
Beginners: Accessible to those new to trading, thanks to its intuitive visual representation of trends and pre-configured settings.
Bot Users: Supports direct signal integration for bot automation, including entries, take-profits, and stop-losses.
🔷 How does it work: The Alligator Jaws, Teeth, and Lips are smoothed moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, or WMA) calculated based on the selected source price ( hl2 = (high+low)/2 by default). Their lengths and offsets are customizable:
Jaws: Length 21 , offset 13.
Teeth: Length 13, offset 8.
Lips: Length 8 , offset 5.
When the lines align and spread apart (e.g., Lips > Teeth > Jaws for an uptrend), the strategy identifies a trending market.
Entry Conditions:
Long Trades: Triggered when Close > Lips > Teeth > Jaws.
Short Trades: Triggered when Close < Lips < Teeth < Jaws.
🔷 Why it’s unique:
Customization: Flexible settings for moving average types and lengths to adapt to different market conditions and strategy tester configurations.
Built-in Filters: Trend filters that can reduce false signals in certain scenarios, making it more reliable for trending markets.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
Configurable as either percentage-based or dynamic.
Stop-loss levels adjust dynamically using the Alligator lines.
Fast exit logic moves the stop-loss closer to the price when trades are in profit.
3Commas Bot Compatibility: Designed for automated trading, allowing traders to configure and execute the strategy seamlessly.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator
🔸Why the Forward Offset: By shifting the averages forward, the Alligator helps traders focus on established trends while filtering out short-term market noise.
The standard configurations of 13-8, 8-5, and 5-3 were selected based on Bill Williams’ studies of market behavior. However, these values can be adjusted to suit different market conditions:
Volatile Markets: Faster settings (e.g., 10-6, 6-4, 3-2) may provide earlier signals.
Less Volatile Markets: Slower settings (e.g., 21-13, 13-8, 8-5) can help avoid noise and reduce false signals.
🔸Best Timeframes to Use: The Alligator can be applied across all timeframes, but certain timeframes offer better reliability.
Higher Timeframes (H4, D1, W1): Ideal for identifying significant trends and for swing or position trading.
Lower Timeframes: Not recommended due to increased noise but may work for scalping with additional confirmation tools.
🔸Disadvantages of the Alligator Strategy:
Exhausted Entry Levels: High buying levels or low selling levels can lead to momentum exhaustion and potential pullbacks.
False Signals in Ranges: Consolidating markets can produce unreliable signals.
Lagging Indicator: As it is based on moving averages, it may delay reacting to sudden price changes.
🔸Advantages of the Alligator Strategy:
Trend Focused: Simplifies the identification of trending markets.
Noise Reduction: Forward shifts and smoothed averages help filter out short-term price fluctuations.
Broad Applicability: Suitable for forex, crypto, stocks, and commodities.
🔸Important Considerations:
While the Alligator Strategy provides a systematic way to analyze markets, it does not guarantee successful outcomes. Results in trading depend on multiple factors, including market conditions, trader discipline, and risk management. Past performance of the strategy does not ensure future success, and traders should always approach the market with caution.
Risk Management: Define stop-loss levels, position size, and profit targets before entering any trade. Be prepared for the possibility of losses and ensure that your approach aligns with your overall trading plan.
🔷 STRATEGY PROPERTIES
Symbol: BINANCE:BTCUSDT (Spot).
Timeframe: 1D (Daily Timeframe).
Test Period: All historical data available.
Initial Capital: 10000 USDT.
Order Size per Trade: 1% of Capital, you can use a higher value e.g. 5%, be cautious that the Max Drawdown does not exceed 10%, as it would indicate a very risky trading approach.
Commission: Binance commission 0.1%, adjust according to the exchange being used, lower numbers will generate unrealistic results. By using low values e.g. 5%, it allows us to adapt over time and check the functioning of the strategy.
Slippage: 5 ticks, for pairs with low liquidity or very large orders, this number should be increased as the order may not be filled at the desired level.
Margin for Long and Short Positions: 100%.
Indicator Settings: Default Configuration.
Alligator: Source hl2 | Calculation RMA | Jaw 21-13, Teeth 13-8, Lips 8-5.
Strategy: Long & Short.
Max Stop Loss per Trade: 10% of Trade Size.
Exit trades on opposite signal: Enable.
Alligator Stop Loss: Enable.
Alligator Fast Exit: Enable.
🔷 STRATEGY RESULTS
⚠️ Remember, past results do not guarantee future performance.
Net Profit: +355.68 USDT (+3.56%).
Total Closed Trades: 103.
Percent Profitable: 47.57%.
Profit Factor: 1.927.
Max Drawdown: -57.99 USDT (-0.56%).
Average Trade: +3.45 USDT (+3.41%).
Average # Bars in Trades: 16.
🔷 HOW TO USE
🔸Adjust the Alligator Settings:
The default values generally work well: Source hl2 | Calculation RMA | Jaw 21-13, Teeth 13-8, Lips 8-5. However, if you want to use it on timeframes smaller than 4H (4 hours), consider increasing the values to better filter market noise.
Please review the "Indicator Settings" section for configuration.
🔸Choose a Symbol that Typically Trends:
Select an asset that tends to create trends. However, the Strategy Tester results may display poor performance, making it less suitable for sending signals to bots.
🔸Add Trend Filters:
You can enable trend filters like MA and SuperTrend. By default, these are disabled as they are often unnecessary, but you can experiment with their configuration to see if they optimize the strategy's results.
Please review the "Indicator Settings" section for configuration.
🔸Enable Stop Loss Levels:
Activate Stop Loss features, such as Stop Loss % or Alligator Stop Loss. If both are enabled, the one closest to the price during the trade will be applied.
Please review the "Indicator Settings" section for configuration.
🔸Enable Take Profit Levels:
Activate Take Profit options, such as Take Profit % or Alligator Fast Exit. If both are enabled, the one that triggers first will be executed.
Please review the "Indicator Settings" section for configuration.
This is an example with the default settings and how Alligator Stop Loss and Alligator Fast Exit are activated:
In this example, we additionally enable the Take Profit at 10%. We can observe that the Alligator Stop Loss is the active one since it is closer to the price. When the price moves 10% in favor or against the trade, the position is closed. Although the Alligator Fast Exit is enabled, it does not activate because the trades are closed beforehand.
🔸Results Review:
It is important to check the Max Drawdown. This value should ideally not exceed 10% of your capital. Consider adjusting the trade size to ensure this threshold is not surpassed.
Remember to include the correct values for commission and slippage according to the symbol and exchange where you are conducting the tests. Otherwise, the results will not be realistic.
If you are satisfied with the results, you may consider automating your trades. However, it is strongly recommended to use a small amount of capital or a demo account to test proper execution before committing real funds.
🔸Create alerts to trigger the DCA Bot
Verify Messages: Ensure the message matches the one specified by the DCA Bot.
Multi-Pair Configuration: For multi-pair setups, enable the option to add the symbol in the correct format.
Signal Settings: Enable whether you want to receive long or short signals (Entry | TP | SL), copy and paste the the messages for the DCA Bots configured in 3Commas.
Alert Setup:
When creating an alert, set the condition to the indicator and choose "alert() function call only.
Enter any desired Alert Name.
Open the Notifications tab, enable Webhook URL, and paste the Webhook URL from 3Commas.

DCA Bot: What is it, how does it work, and what are its advantages and risks?
A DCA Bot is an automated tool designed to simplify and optimize your trading operations, particularly in cryptocurrencies. Based on the concept of Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) , this bot implements scaled strategies that allow you to distribute your investments intelligently. The key lies in dividing your capital into multiple orders, known as base orders and safety orders, which are executed at different price levels depending on market conditions.
These bots are highly customizable, meaning you can adapt them to your goals and trading style, whether you're operating Long (expecting a price increase) or Short (expecting a price decrease). Their primary purpose is to reduce the impact of entries that move against the estimated direction and ensure you achieve a more favorable average price.
🔸 Key Features of DCA Bots
Customizable configuration: DCA bots allow you to adjust the size of your initial investment, the number of safety orders, and the price levels at which these orders execute. These orders can be equal or incremental, depending on your risk tolerance.
Scaled safety orders: If the asset's price moves against your position, the bot executes safety orders at strategic levels to average your entry price and increase your chances of closing in profit.
Automatic Take Profit: When the predefined profit level is reached, the bot closes the position, ensuring net gains by averaging all entries made using the DCA strategy.
Stop Loss option: To protect your capital, you can set a stop loss level that limits losses if the market moves drastically against your position.
Flexibility: Bots can integrate with 3Commas technical indicators or external signals from TradingView, allowing you to trade in any trend, whether bullish or bearish.
Support for multiple assets: You can trade cryptocurrency pairs and exchanges compatible with 3Commas, offering a wide range of possibilities to diversify your strategies.
✅ Advantages of DCA Bots
Time-saving automation: DCA bots eliminate the need for constant market monitoring, executing your trades automatically and efficiently based on predefined settings.
Favorable averages in volatile markets: By averaging your entries, the bot can offer more competitive prices even under adverse market conditions. This increases your chances of recovering a position and closing it profitably.
Advanced capital management: With customizable settings, you can adjust the size of base and safety orders to optimize capital usage and reduce risk.
Additional protection: The ability to set a stop loss ensures your losses are limited, safeguarding your capital in extreme scenarios.
⚠️ Risks of Using a DCA Bot
Requires significant capital: Safety orders can accumulate quickly if the price moves against your position. This issue is compounded if increasing amounts are used for safety orders, which can immobilize large portions of capital in adverse markets.
Markets lacking clear direction: During consolidation periods or erratic movements, the bot may generate unrealized losses and make position recovery difficult.
Opportunity cost: Investing in an asset that doesn't show favorable behavior can prevent you from seizing opportunities in other markets.
Emotional pressure: Large investments in advanced stages of the DCA strategy can cause stress, especially if an asset takes too long to reach your take profit level.
Dependence on market recovery: DCA assumes that the price will eventually move in your favor, which does not always happen, especially in assets without solid fundamentals.
📖 Key Considerations for Effectively Using a DCA Bot
Use small amounts for your base and safety orders: Setting small initial orders not only limits capital usage but also allows you to manage multiple bots simultaneously, maximizing portfolio diversification.
Capital management: Define a clear budget and never risk more than you are willing to lose. This is essential for maintaining sustainable operations.
Select assets with strong fundamentals: Apply DCA to assets you understand and that have solid fundamentals and a proven historical growth record. Additionally, analyze each cryptocurrency's fundamentals: What problem does it solve? Does it have a clear use case? Is it viable in the long term? These questions will help you make more informed decisions.
Diversification: Do not concentrate all your capital on a single asset or strategy. Spread your risk across multiple bots or assets.
Monitor regularly: While bots are automated and eliminate the need to monitor the market constantly, it is essential to monitor the bots themselves to ensure they are performing as expected. This includes reviewing their performance and making adjustments if market conditions change. Remember, the goal is to automate trades, but active bot management is crucial to avoid surprises.
A DCA Bot is a powerful tool for traders looking to automate their strategies and reduce the impact of market fluctuations. However, like any tool, its success depends on how it is configured and used. By applying solid capital management principles, carefully selecting assets, and using small amounts in your orders, you can maximize its potential and minimize risks.
🔷FEATURES & HOW TO USE
🔸Strategy: Here you must select the type of signal you are going to analyze and send signals to the DCA Bot, either Long for buy signals or Short for sell signals. This must match the Bot created in 3Commas.
🔸Add a Source Indicator for Entry Triggers
Tradingview allows us to use indicator plots as a source in other indicators, we will use this functionality so that the buy or sell signals of an indicator are processed by the DCA Bot Tester.
In this EXAMPLE we will use a simple strategy that uses a Donchian Channel (DC) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Trigger to buy or long signal will be when: the price closes above the previous upper level and the average of the upper and lower level (basis) is greater than the EMA.
Trigger sell or short signal will be when: the price closes below the previous lower level and the average of the upper and lower level (basis) is less than the EMA.
trigger_buy = ta.crossover (close,upper ) and basis > ema and barstate.isconfirmed
trigger_sell = ta.crossunder(close,lower ) and basis < ema and barstate.isconfirmed
Then we create the plots that will be used as input source in the DCA Bot Tester indicator.
When a buy condition is given the plot "🟢 Trigger Buy" will have a value of 1 otherwise it will remain at 0.
When a sell condition is given the plot "🔴 Trigger Sell" will have a value of -1 otherwise it will remain at 0.
plot(trigger_buy ? 1 : 0 , '🟢 Trigger Buy' , color = na, display = display.data_window)
plot(trigger_sell? -1 : 0 , '🔴 Trigger Sell', color = na, display = display.data_window)
Here you have the complete code so you can use it and do tests. Basically you just have to define the buy or sell conditions of your preferred indicator or strategy and then create the plots with the same format that will be used in DCA Bot Tester.
//@version=6
indicator(title="Simple Strategy Example", overlay= false)
// Indicator and Signal Triggers
length = input.int(10, title = "DC Length" , display = display.none)
length_ema = input.int(50, title = "EMA Length", display = display.none)
lower = ta.lowest (length)
upper = ta.highest(length)
ema = ta.ema (close, length_ema)
basis = math.avg (upper, lower)
plot(basis, "Basis", color = color.orange, display = display.all-display.status_line)
plot(upper, "Upper", color = color.blue , display = display.all-display.status_line)
plot(lower, "Lower", color = color.blue , display = display.all-display.status_line)
plot(ema , "EMA" , color = color.red , display = display.all-display.status_line)
candlecol = open < close ? color.teal : color.red
plotcandle(open, high, low, close, title='Candles', color = candlecol, wickcolor = candlecol, bordercolor = candlecol, display = display.pane)
trigger_buy = ta.crossover (close,upper ) and basis > ema and barstate.isconfirmed
trigger_sell = ta.crossunder(close,lower ) and basis < ema and barstate.isconfirmed
plotshape(trigger_buy ?close:na, title="Label Buy" , style=shape.labelup , location= location.belowbar, color=color.green, text="B", textcolor=color.white, display=display.pane)
plotshape(trigger_sell?close:na, title="Label Sell", style=shape.labeldown, location= location.abovebar, color=color.red , text="S", textcolor=color.white, display=display.pane)

// ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
plot(trigger_buy ? 1 : 0 , '🟢 Trigger Buy' , color = na, display = display.data_window)
plot(trigger_sell? -1 : 0 , '🔴 Trigger Sell', color = na, display = display.data_window)
To use the example code
Open the Pine Editor, paste the code and then click Add to chart.
Then in the Plot Entry Trigger Source option, we will select 🟢 Trigger Buy, as the plot that will give us the buy signals when it is worth 1, otherwise for the sell signals you must change the value to -1 in the Plot Entry Trigger Value and remember to change the strategy mode to Short.
🔸DCA Settings: Here you need to configure the DCA values of the strategy, you can see the meaning of each value in the Settings Section. Once you are satisfied with the tests configure the 3Commas DCA Bot with the same values so that the Summary Table matches the 3Commas Table. Pay close attention to the Total Volume that the Bot will use, according to the amount of Safety Orders you are going to execute, and that all the values in the table adapt to your risk tolerance.
🔸DCA Bot Deal Start: Once you create the Bot in 3Commas with the same settings it will give you a Deal Start Message, you must copy and paste it in this section, verify that it is the same in the summary table, this is used to be sent through tradingview alerts to the Bot and it can process the signals.
🔸DCA Bot Multi-Pair: A Multi-Pair Bot allows you to manage several pairs with a single bot, but you must specify which pair it will run on. You must activate it if you want to use the signals in a DCA Bot Multi-pair. In the text box you must enter (using the 3Commas format) the symbol for each pair before you create the alert so that the bot understands which pair to work on.
In the following image we would be configuring the indicator to send a signal to activate the bot in the BTCUSDT pair using the given format it would be USDT_BTC, but if we wanted to send a signal in another pair we must change the pair in the chart and also in the configuration, an example with ETHUSDT would be USDT_ETH. After this we could create the alert, and the Mult-Pair Bot would detect it correctly.
🔸Strategy Tester Filters: This is useful if you want to test the strategy's result on a certain time window, the indicator will only enter this range. If disabled it will use all historical data available on the chart. If you are going to use the tool to send signals, make sure to disable the Use Custom Test Period. If you want the entries to only run at a certain time and day, in that case make sure that the timezone matches the one you are using in the chart.
🔸Properties: Adjust your initial capital and exchange commission appropriately to achieve realistic results.
🔸Create alerts to trigger the DCA Bot
Check that the message is the same as the one indicated by the DCA Bot.
In the case of Multi-Pair, enable the option to add the symbol with the correct format.
When creating an alert, select Any alert() function call.
Enter the any name of the alert.
Open the Notifications tab and enable Webhook URL
Paste Webhook URL provided by 3Commas looking in the section How to use TradingView custom signals.
Done, alerts will be sent with the correct format automatically to 3Commas.
🔷 INDICATOR SETTINGS
🔸3Commas DCA Bot Settings
Strategy: Select the direction of the strategy to test Long or Short, this must be the same as the Bot created in 3Commas, so that the signals are processed properly.
DCA Bot Deal Start: Copy and paste the message for the deal start signal of the DCA Bot you created in 3Commas. This is the message that will be sent with the alert to the Bot, you must verify that it is the same as the 3Commas bot so that it can process properly so that it executes and starts the trade.
DCA Bot Multi-Pair: A Multi-Pair Bot allows you to manage several pairs with a single bot, but you must specify which pair it will run on.
DCA Bot Summary Table: Here you can activate the display of table as well as change the size, position, text color and background color.
🔸Source Indicator Settings
Plot Entry Trigger Source: Select a Plot for Entries of the Source Indicator. This refers to the Long or Short entry signal that the indicator will use as BO (Base Order).
Plot Entry Trigger Value: Value of the Source Indicator to Deal Start Condition Trigger. The default value is 1, this means that when a signal is given for example Long in the source indicator, we will use 1 or for Short -1 if there is no signal it will be 0 so it will not execute any entry, please review the example code and adjust the indicator you are going to use in the same way.
🔸DCA Settings
Base Order: The Base Order is the first order the bot will create when starting a new deal.
Safety Order: Enter the amount of funds your safety orders will use to average the cost of the asset being traded.Safety orders are also known as Dollar Cost Averaging and help when prices move in the opposite direction to your bot's take profit target.
Safety Orders Deviation %: Enter the percentage difference in price to create the first Safety Order. All Safety Orders are calculated from the price the initial Base Order was filled on the exchange account.
Safety Orders Max Count: This is the total number of Safety Orders the bot is allowed to use per deal that is opened. All Safety Orders created by the bot are placed as Limit Orders on the exchange's order book.
Safety Orders Volume Scale: The Safety Order Volume Scale is used to multiply the amount of funds used by the last Safety Order that was created. Using a larger amount of funds for Safety Orders allows your bot to be more aggressive at Dollar Cost Averaging the price of the asset being traded.
Safety Orders Step Scale: The Safety Order Step Scale is used to multiply the Price Deviation percentage used by the last Safety Order placed on the exchange account. Using a larger value here will reduce the amount of Safety Orders your bot will require to cover a larger move in price in the opposite direction to the active deal's take profit target.
Take Profit %: The Take Profit section offers tools for flexible management of target parameters: automatic profit upon reaching one or more target levels in percentage.
Stop Loss % | Use SL: To enable Stop Loss, please check the "Use SL" box. This is the percentage that price needs to move in the opposite direction to close the deal at a loss. This must be greater than the sum of the deviations from the safety orders.
🔸Strategy Tester Filters
Use Custom Test Period: When enabled signals only works in the selected time window.. If disabled it will use all historical data available on the chart.
Test Start and End: Once the Custom Test Period is enabled, here you select the start and end date that you want to analyze.
Session Filter | Days | Background: Here you can choose a time zone in which signals will be sent or your strategy will be tested, as well as the days and a background of it. It is important that you use the same timezone as your chart so that it matches.

Ping Pong Bot StrategyOverview:
The Ping Pong Bot Strategy is designed for traders who focus on scalping and short-term opportunities using support and resistance levels. This strategy identifies potential buy entries when the price reaches a key support area and shows bullish momentum (a green bar). It aims to capitalize on small price movements with predefined risk management and take profit levels, making it suitable for active traders looking to maximize quick trades in trending or ranging markets.
How It Works:
Support & Resistance Calculation:
The strategy dynamically identifies support and resistance levels using the lowest and highest price points over a user-defined period. These levels help pinpoint potential price reversal areas, guiding traders on where to enter or exit trades.
Buy Entry Criteria:
A buy signal is triggered when the closing price is at or below the support level, and the bar is green (i.e., the closing price is higher than the opening price). This ensures that entries are made when prices show signs of upward momentum after hitting support.
Risk Management:
For each trade, a stop loss is calculated based on a user-defined risk percentage, helping to protect against significant drawdowns. Additionally, a take profit level is set at a ratio relative to the risk, ensuring a disciplined approach to exit points.
0.5% Take Profit Target:
The strategy also includes a 0.5% quick take profit target, indicated by an orange arrow when reached. This feature helps traders lock in small gains rapidly, making it ideal for volatile market conditions.
Customizable Inputs:
Length: Adjusts the period for calculating support and resistance levels.
Risk-Reward Ratio: Allows traders to set the desired risk-to-reward ratio for each trade.
Risk Percentage: Defines the risk tolerance for stop loss calculations.
Take Profit Target: Enables the customization of the quick take profit target.
Ideal For:
Traders who prefer an active trading style and want to leverage support and resistance levels for precise entries and exits. This strategy is particularly useful in markets that experience frequent price bounces between support and resistance, allowing traders to "ping pong" between these levels for profitable trades.
Note:
This strategy is developed mainly for the 5-minute chart and has not been tested on longer time frames. Users should perform their own testing and adjustments if using it on different time frames.
Overnight Positioning w EMA - Strategy [presentTrading]I've recently started researching Market Timing strategies, and it’s proving to be quite an interesting area of study. The idea of predicting optimal times to enter and exit the market, based on historical data and various indicators, brings a dynamic edge to trading. Additionally, it is integrated with the 3commas bot for automated trade execution.
I'm still working on it. Welcome to share your point of view.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Overnight Positioning with EMA " is designed to capitalize on market inefficiencies during the overnight trading period. This strategy takes a position shortly before the market closes and exits shortly after it opens the following day. What sets this strategy apart is the integration of an optional Exponential Moving Average (EMA) filter, which ensures that trades are aligned with the underlying trend. The strategy provides flexibility by allowing users to select between different global market sessions, such as the US, Asia, and Europe.
It is integrated with the 3commas bot for automated trade execution and has a built-in mechanism to avoid holding positions over the weekend by force-closing positions on Fridays before the market closes.
BTCUSD 20 mins Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The core logic of this strategy is simple: enter trades before market close and exit them after market open, taking advantage of potential price movements during the overnight period. Here’s how it works in more detail:
🔶 Market Timing
The strategy determines the local market open and close times based on the selected market (US, Asia, Europe) and adjusts entry and exit points accordingly. The entry is triggered a specific number of minutes before market close, and the exit is triggered a specific number of minutes after market open.
🔶 EMA Filter
The strategy includes an optional EMA filter to help ensure that trades are taken in the direction of the prevailing trend. The EMA is calculated over a user-defined timeframe and length. The entry is only allowed if the closing price is above the EMA (for long positions), which helps to filter out trades that might go against the trend.
The EMA formula:
```
EMA(t) = +
```
Where:
- EMA(t) is the current EMA value
- Close(t) is the current closing price
- n is the length of the EMA
- EMA(t-1) is the previous period's EMA value
🔶 Entry Logic
The strategy monitors the market time in the selected timezone. Once the current time reaches the defined entry period (e.g., 20 minutes before market close), and the EMA condition is satisfied, a long position is entered.
- Entry time calculation:
```
entryTime = marketCloseTime - entryMinutesBeforeClose * 60 * 1000
```
🔶 Exit Logic
Exits are triggered based on a specified time after the market opens. The strategy checks if the current time is within the defined exit period (e.g., 20 minutes after market open) and closes any open long positions.
- Exit time calculation:
exitTime = marketOpenTime + exitMinutesAfterOpen * 60 * 1000
🔶 Force Close on Fridays
To avoid the risk of holding positions over the weekend, the strategy force-closes any open positions 5 minutes before the market close on Fridays.
- Force close logic:
isFriday = (dayofweek(currentTime, marketTimezone) == dayofweek.friday)
█ Trade Direction
This strategy is designed exclusively for long trades. It enters a long position before market close and exits the position after market open. There is no shorting involved in this strategy, and it focuses on capturing upward momentum during the overnight session.
█ Usage
This strategy is suitable for traders who want to take advantage of price movements that occur during the overnight period without holding positions for extended periods. It automates entry and exit times, ensuring that trades are placed at the appropriate times based on the market session selected by the user. The 3commas bot integration also allows for automated execution, making it ideal for traders who wish to set it and forget it. The strategy is flexible enough to work across various global markets, depending on the trader's preference.
█ Default Settings
1. entryMinutesBeforeClose (Default = 20 minutes):
This setting determines how many minutes before the market close the strategy will enter a long position. A shorter duration could mean missing out on potential movements, while a longer duration could expose the position to greater price fluctuations before the market closes.
2. exitMinutesAfterOpen (Default = 20 minutes):
This setting controls how many minutes after the market opens the position will be exited. A shorter exit time minimizes exposure to market volatility at the open, while a longer exit time could capture more of the overnight price movement.
3. emaLength (Default = 100):
The length of the EMA affects how the strategy filters trades. A shorter EMA (e.g., 50) reacts more quickly to price changes, allowing more frequent entries, while a longer EMA (e.g., 200) smooths out price action and only allows entries when there is a stronger underlying trend.
The effect of using a longer EMA (e.g., 200) would be:
```
EMA(t) = +
```
4. emaTimeframe (Default = 240):
This is the timeframe used for calculating the EMA. A higher timeframe (e.g., 360) would base entries on longer-term trends, while a shorter timeframe (e.g., 60) would respond more quickly to price movements, potentially allowing more frequent trades.
5. useEMA (Default = true):
This toggle enables or disables the EMA filter. When enabled, trades are only taken when the price is above the EMA. Disabling the EMA allows the strategy to enter trades without any trend validation, which could increase the number of trades but also increase risk.
6. Market Selection (Default = US):
This setting determines which global market's open and close times the strategy will use. The selection of the market affects the timing of entries and exits and should be chosen based on the user's preference or geographic focus.
MetaFOX DCA (ASAP-RSI-BB%B-TV)Welcome To ' MetaFOX DCA (ASAP-RSI-BB%B-TV) ' Indicator.
This is not a Buy/Sell signals indicator, this is an indicator to help you create your own strategy using a variety of technical analyzing options within the indicator settings with the ability to do DCA (Dollar Cost Average) with up to 100 safety orders.
It is important when backtesting to get a real results, but this is impossible, especially when the time frame is large, because we don't know the real price action inside each candle, as we don't know whether the price reached the high or low first. but what I can say is that I present to you a backtest results in the worst possible case, meaning that if the same chart is repeated during the next period and you traded for the same period and with the same settings, the real results will be either identical to the results in the indicator or better (not worst). There will be no other factors except the slippage in the price when executing orders in the real trading, So I created a feature for that to increase the accuracy rate of the results. For more information, read this description.
Below I will explain all the properties and settings of the indicator:
A) 'Buy Strategies' Section: Your choices of strategies to Start a new trade: (All the conditions works as (And) not (OR), You have to choose one at least and you can choose more than one).
- 'ASAP (New Candle)': Start a trade as soon as possible at the opening of a new candle after exiting the previous trade.
- 'RSI': Using RSI as a technical analysis condition to start a trade.
- 'BB %B': Using BB %B as a technical analysis condition to start a trade.
- 'TV': Using tradingview crypto screener as a technical analysis condition to start a trade.
B) 'Exit Strategies' Section: Your choices of strategies to Exit the trades: (All the conditions works as (And) not (OR), You can choose more than one, But if you don't want to use any of them you have to activate the 'Use TP:' at least).
- 'ASAP (New Candle)': Exit a trade as soon as possible at the opening of a new candle after opening the previous trade.
- 'RSI': Using RSI as a technical analysis condition to exit a trade.
- 'BB %B': Using BB %B as a technical analysis condition to exit a trade.
- 'TV': Using tradingview crypto screener as a technical analysis condition to exit a trade.
C) 'Main Settings' Section:
- 'Trading Fees %': The Exchange trading fees in percentage (trading Commission).
- 'Entry Price Slippage %': Since real trading differs from backtest calculations, while in backtest results are calculated based on the open price of the candle, but in real trading there is a slippage from the open price of the candle resulting from the supply and demand in the real time trading, so this feature is to determine the slippage Which you think it is appropriate, then the entry prices of the trades will calculated higher than the open price of the start candle by the percentage of slippage that you set. If you don't want to calculate any slippage, just set it to zero, but I don't recommend that if you want the most realistic results.
Note: If (open price + slippage) is higher than the high of the candle then don't worry, I've kept this in consideration.
- 'Use SL': Activate to use stop loss percentage.
- 'SL %': Stop loss percentage.
- 'SL settings options box':
'SL From Base Price': Calculate the SL from the base order price (from the trade first entry price).
'SL From Avg. Price': Calculate the SL from the average price in case you use safety orders.
'SL From Last SO.': Calculate the SL from the last (lowest) safety order deviation.
ex: If you choose 'SL From Avg. Price' and SL% is 5, then the SL will be lower than the average price by 5% (in this case your SL will be dynamic until the price reaches all the safety orders unlike the other two SL options).
Note: This indicator programmed to be compatible with '3COMMAS' platform, but I added more options that came to my mind.
'3COMMAS' DCA bots uses 'SL From Base Price'.
- 'Use TP': Activate to use take profit percentage.
- 'TP %': Take profit percentage.
- 'Pure TP,SL': This feature was created due to the differences in the method of calculations between API tools trading platforms:
If the feature is not activated and (for example) the TP is 5%, this means that the price must move upward by only 5%, but you will not achieve a net profit of 5% due to the trading fees. but If the feature is activated, this means that you will get a net profit of 5%, and this means that the price must move upward by (5% for the TP + the equivalent of trading fees). The same idea is applied to the SL.
Note: '3COMMAS' DCA bots uses activated 'Pure TP,SL'.
- 'SO. Price Deviation %': Determines the decline percentage for the first safety order from the trade start entry price.
- 'SO. Step Scale': Determines the deviation multiplier for the safety orders.
Note: I'm using the same method of calculations for SO. (safety orders) levels that '3COMMAS' platform is using. If there is any difference between the '3COMMAS' calculations and the platform that you are using, please let me know.
'3COMMAS' DCA bots minimum 'SO. Price Deviation %' is (0.21)
'3COMMAS' DCA bots minimum 'SO. Step Scale' is (0.1)
- 'SO. Volume Scale': Determines the base order size multiplier for the safety orders sizes.
ex: If you used 10$ to buy at the trade start (base order size) and your 'SO. Volume Scale' is 2, then the 1st SO. size will be 20, the 2nd SO. size will be 40 and so on.
- 'SO. Count': Determines the number of safety orders that you want. If you want to trade without safety orders set it to zero.
'3COMMAS' DCA bots minimum 'SO. Volume Scale' is (0.1)
- 'Exchange Min. Size': The exchange minimum size per trade, It's important to prevent you from setting the base order Size less than the exchange limit. It's also important for the backtest results calculations.
ex: If you setup your strategy settings and it led to a loss to the point that you can't trade any more due to insufficient funds and your base order size share from the strategy becomes less than the exchange minimum trade size, then the indicator will show you a warning and will show you the point where you stopped the trading (It works in compatible with the initial capital). I recommend to set it a little bit higher than the real exchange minimum trade size especially if you trade without safety orders to not stuck in the trade if you hit the stop loss
- 'BO. Size': The base order size (funds you use at the trade entry).
- 'Initial Capital': The total funds allocated for trading using your strategy settings, It can be more than what is required in the strategy to cover the deficit in case of a loss, but it should not exceed the funds that you actually have for trading using this strategy settings, It's important to prevent you from setting up a strategy which requires funds more than what you have. It's also has other important benefits (refer to 'Exchange Min. Size' for more information).
- 'Accumulative Results': This feature is also called re-invest profits & risk reduction. If it's not activated then you will use the same funds size in each new trade whether you are in profit or loss till the (initial capitals + net results) turns insufficient. If it's activated then you will reuse your profits and losses in each new trade.
ex: The feature is active and your first trade ended with a net profit of 1000$, the next trade will add the 1000$ to the trade funds size and it will be distributed as a percentage to the BO. & SO.s according to your strategy settings. The same idea in case of a loss, the trade funds size will be reduced.
D) 'RSI Strategy' Section:
- 'Buy': RSI technical condition to start a trade. Has no effect if you don't choose 'RSI' option in 'Buy Strategies'.
- 'Exit': RSI technical condition to exit a trade. Has no effect if you don't choose 'RSI' option in 'Exit Strategies'.
E) 'TV Strategy' Section:
- 'Buy': TradingView Crypto Screener technical condition to start a trade. Has no effect if you don't choose 'TV' option in 'Buy Strategies'.
- 'Exit': TradingView Crypto Screener technical condition to exit a trade. Has no effect if you don't choose 'TV' option in 'Exit Strategies'.
F) 'BB %B Strategy' Section:
- 'Buy': BB %B technical condition to start a trade. Has no effect if you don't choose 'BB %B' option in 'Buy Strategies'.
- 'Exit': BB %B technical condition to exit a trade. Has no effect if you don't choose 'BB %B' option in 'Exit Strategies'.
G) 'Plot' Section:
- 'Signals': Plots buy and exit signals.
- 'BO': Plots the trade entry price (base order price).
- 'AVG': Plots the trade average price.
- 'AVG options box': Your choice to plot the trade average price type:
'Avg. With Fees': The trade average price including the trading fees, If you exit the trade at this price the trade net profit will be 0.00
'Avg. Without Fees': The trade average price but not including the trading fees, If you exit the trade at this price the trade net profit will be a loss equivalent to the trading fees.
- 'TP': Plots the trade take profit price.
- 'SL': Plots the trade stop loss price.
- 'Last SO': Plots the trade last safety order that the price reached.
- 'Exit Price': Plots a mark on the trade exit price, It plots in 3 colors as below:
Red (Default): Trade exit at a loss.
Green (Default): Trade exit at a profit.
Yellow (Default): Trade exit at a profit but this is a special case where we have to calculate the profits before reaching the safety orders (if any) on that candle (compatible with the idea of getting strategy results at the worst case).
- 'Result Table': Plots your strategy result table. The net profit percentage shown is a percentage of the 'initial capital'.
- 'TA Values': Plots your used strategies Technical analysis values. (Green cells means valid condition).
- 'Help Table': Plots a table to help you discover 100 safety orders with its deviations and the total funds needed for your strategy settings. Deviations shown in red is impossible to use because its price is <= 0.00
- 'Portfolio Chart': Plots your Portfolio status during the entire trading period in addition to the highest and lowest level reached. It's important when evaluating any strategy not only to look at the final result, but also to look at the change in results over the entire trading period. Perhaps the results were worryingly negative at some point before they rose again and made a profit. This feature helps you to see the whole picture.
- 'Welcome Message': Plots a welcome message and showing you the idea behind this indicator.
- 'Green Net Profit %': It plots the 'Net Profit %' in the result table in green color if the result is equal to or above the value that you entered.
- 'Green Win Rate %': It plots the 'Win Rate %' in the result table in green color if the result is equal to or above the value that you entered.
- 'User Notes Area': An empty text area, Feel free to use this area to write your notes so you don't forget them.
The indicator will take care of you. In some cases, warning messages will appear for you. Read them carefully, as they mean that you have done an illogical error in the indicator settings. Also, the indicator will sometimes stop working for the same reason mentioned above. If that happens then click on the red (!) next to the indicator name and read the message to find out what illogical error you have done.
Please enjoy the indicator and let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
TTP Pair CipherPair Cipher can run your hedge pair trading strategy.
Pair cipher can use a spread chart (two assets ratio or difference) to manage a hedge position consisting of two assets: one long and one short position.
Event though the spread chart is used to determine the entries and exits each coin price action is used to calculate floating PNL.
It supports different bot platforms. It's backtestable and can run live.
Features:
- Internal and external entry signal
- In-chart realised PNL plot
- Hedge position floating PNL chart
- Individual floating PNL for each long and short ("show coins" toggle)
- Retracement exit strategy: determine at which retracement factor to exit your position while in profit
- PNL RSI exit strategy: determine at which RSI level crossunder you'd like to exit. RSI is applied to the floating PNL
- Static TP/SL levels
- ATR TP/SL levels with individual factors. When ATR is selected the TP or SL acts as a multiplier of ATR instead.
- On-chart debug labels for alerts
- Intra candle alert: signals can trigger intra candle in this mode, but this mode will cause repainting. Example: if the position goes below SL intra candle, the alert will be sent, but later if it goes in profit before closing the candle, the backtest will continue with the position open. The backtest does NOT have access to the intra candle data. Alert intra candle reduces the risk of not applying SL.

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.
DCA EMA Simple Bot [Starbots]
This is a simple idea of DCA trading on EMA crosses. Strategy is not repainting.
The difference between this and any other strategy is, that this script allows you to preset DCA buy triggers at desired levels and customize each DCA order size independently. Alerts are working, this strategy is easily used for automatic trading.
I mainly trade on Cryptohopper, Pionex, 3commas. This was created for community, alerts are working and non-repainting. Should work on any other as well.
Trading Condition:
It's buying when Fast EMA crosses up Slow EMA. Set your paramters.
It's selling if EMA's crosses back, signaling a sell. Optional.
DCA:
You can enter DCA on 20 custom levels or layers. It buys DCA when price hits the plotted blue line on the chart that's set by input % triggers. (buy 1st DCA at 2% drop, buy 2nd DCA at 5% drop,...)
Set your Inital Capital and Pyramiding in Properties tab, Initial Order Size and DCA Order Size (lot1,lot2,lot3,..), Order Type are changed in strategy inputs.
-By default you can see that we buy when EMA's cross up and signal a buy for 10% of equity, if market is dropping you will then place a first DCA order ( 20% equity) at 2% drop (lower) from initial order. If market keeps dropping you have more DCA levels where you can buy and average down your holding position. For selling you can use Take profit and Stop Loss targets that averages down multiple open positions, it will sell it once it reaches your desirable Take Profit and close a deal. You can also close your trade if EMA signals a sell.
Pyramiding - number of orders you can open at a time
Your first buy order is pyramiding 1. To allow it to buy 1 DCA or merge one time, set pyramding to 2.
Want to DCA 10 times? Set pyramiding at 11. (+1 always)
More features:
- Profit Calendar
- Show Balance label before every new trade
- DCA table - visualize how much of your investment is used in trades. If a background of the table is green you are okay, if the background color is red - you are using more money for orders than you actually have.
Buy Orders << Strategy Equity/Capital
- Show / Hide DCA lines - if your chart processing is getting slow you should hide some DCA levels to speed it up
- Backtesting Range - for testing the strategy in different time windows
- Alerts
When all trades are closed on your chart, winning rate of the strategy is 100% actually.
Win rate is shown differently as it's actually closing and opening every trade individually by default in TradingView system. We merge positions together and average it down into one big position to later sell for a profit (DCA).
You use this Trading Algorithm at your own risk. Do not trade before testing or invest something you cannot afford to lose on markets.
TTP AbsolutnoAbsolutno is a pine script strategy for backtesting DCA bots with a different approach for placing both safety orders and take profit levels.
Motivation
Using DCA bots with safety orders most of the time is great during bull markets but in bear markets and strong downtrends it can be really challenging to close your deals only relying on safety orders placed based on percentages: price scale and volume scale.
In the past we introduced a script called "add funds simulator" that people used for sending alerts to bots to add funds and help closing deals in red.
We want to cross the use of TA with the safety orders with the intention of getting better results than statically placed safety orders.
What does Absolutno do?
Absolutno uses TA for safety orders, both for opening new safety orders and also to define how low they should be placed based on the volatility of the asset.
Main features
- ATR SO mode: Safety orders can be placed dynamically based on the general volatility of the asset plus the current volatility.
- TA based SO entries: Safety orders are only placed when the deal start condition is true not only when the price pulls back below the next safety order price level. This acts like a hybrid between "add funds simulator" and a traditional DCA bot. Once a safety order is filled, the next SO level gets active waiting for a DSC to trigger below the new entry level.
- Take profit scale: Traditional DCA bots offer a percentage or TA based exit conditions. Absolutno offers a new mode when you can decide to increase or decrease the TP level with each SO getting filled. For example a value of 1.1 TP scale will cause that each SO getting filled makes the TP% grow 10%. A value of 0.9% will reduce each SO by 10%. The lower the price goes you can "lower your expectation", or if you are filling bullish you can actually increase it.
External signal
It comes with a built-in deal start condition that uses RSI cross over 30 which is used only for illustration purposes since Absolutno is designed to be used with external signals.
Use any external signal to enter a new deal and for adding new safety orders.
You can also activate external take profit signal.
When external TP is enabled, all TP features from the bot are disabled to only react to what the external signal instructs the bot.
Bot integration and alerts
Three type of alerts will be sent to the bot: open deal, add funds and close deal.
You will need to enter your bot id and email token in the settings.
Since this strategy uses add funds: you must be aware that the alerts sent from this strategy will contain the amount of funds to add and therefore the bot receiving these alerts will respect them EVEN if the bot was defined with different SO sizes.
Please make sure you fully understand this before using this signal.
The base order alerts don't contain funds information so the bot will always use the base order size as defined in its own settings.
[pAulseperformance] PSStrategyX█ OVERVIEW
This script reduces the amount of time it takes to turn your indicator into a live trading bot.
It will convert your signals into alerts that will be sent to your exchange for trading.
The script features a broker connector to automate alert syntax and connect with third-party exchanges to live trade strategies with minimal setup.
It also includes an enhanced version of the built-in backtester with customizable options to speed up backtesting, trade-by-trade statistics, and a chart strategy summary to help traders make informed decisions.
The PSStrategyX trading tool is designed to provide traders with a range of benefits, including:
Increased confidence in their strategies.
Better understanding of the accuracy of indicator signals.
Simplified automated trading through third-party broker connections.
Reduced time to develop strategies by focusing on signal development only. No need to work with complicated strategy testing code and 3rd party automation.
█ FEATURES
Broker Connector
— Supports Autoview (More Connectors added in the future)
— Connects and auto trades with most exchanges
— No need for Webhooks (AutoView)
— Can forward test live strategies on Testnets before using real money.
Built in Backtester loaded with options to speed up backtesting
— Standard strategy features including stop loss, take profit, and various filters reduce the time and complexity involved in building a working strategy.
Trade By Trade Statistics
— Gain insight on every trade with additional trade-by-trade statistics.

— Get instant feedback on your chart of your strategies performance. Visual cues and feedback give you hints on where to look and what to improve.
Strategy Tester Enhancements
— Take the max trades allowed in the strategy tester without errors.
— Take the largest or smallest trade allowed without errors.
█ WHY?
The PSStrategyX tool was developed to solve a common problem faced by traders who use Pine Script on TradingView: the inability to integrate Pine Script with exchanges through TradingView.
Without this integration, traders need to go through several extra steps to live trade their Pine Script strategies on a real exchange with real money. This includes finding a broker, learning the new syntax for the broker, and placing that syntax correctly in the strategy.
These steps can be time-consuming and add complexity to the codebase.
The PSStrategyX tool simplifies this process by automatically configuring the correct alert syntax to connect to third-party exchanges, allowing traders to live trade their strategies with minimal setup. This saves traders time and effort, allowing them to focus on signal development rather than complicated strategy testing code and 3rd party automation.
Additionally, the tool was developed to address the time-consuming task of converting any one of the thousands of great free indicators on TradingView to strategies through hours of coding.
Overall, I built the PSStrategyX to streamline the auto trading process and make auto trading more accessible to traders of all levels.
█ HOW TO USE THIS?
Using the PSStrategyX trading tool is a straightforward process that requires a few key steps:
1 — Generate trading signals: You need a signal generator that can provide buy and sell signals for your preferred trading instrument(s).
You can use TradingView's indicators or create your own custom indicators using TradingView's Pine programming language.
2 — Connect trading signals to PSStrategyX: You will use 2 scripts on your chart. One generates buy/sell/exit signals, and the other is the PSStrategyX script executing those signals as trades.
To set this up you will need to make sure that your signal generator is an indicator, NOT a strategy.
Make sure the signals are being plotted buy = 1; sell = -1; exit = 0; signals in one plot. Exits are optional.
Example plot(buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : exit ? 0 : na)
You will choose the plot with buy/sell/exit signals inside the PSStrategyX tool to execute trades. If you need help, check out the docs for more details.
3 — Set up the broker connector (optional): If you want to take live trades with this tool, you will need to set up a third party connecter. Once set up, everything is automated. See more details in the "authors instructions." at the bottom of this post.
4 — Set up an exchange account (optional): If you want to trade on an exchange, you will need to set up an account with the exchange you plan to use.
The Broker Connector supports a range of popular exchanges, including Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, Oanda and more.
Once you have generated your trading signals, set up the Broker connecter (optional) and set up an exchange account (optional), you can start using the PSStrategyX trading tool to execute trades automatically based on your trading signals.
█ LIMITATIONS
Here are some important limitations to keep in mind when using the PSStrategyX trading tool:
General:
— Once the alert is sent, there is no way to monitor positions on any exchange. The order will be processed by the broker connector and sent to the exchange.
While this usually works fine, it's important to check the log for errors.
Sometimes the broker connector may fail to process the order, or the exchange may not process it for various reasons.
— The tool sends TP/SL orders with the entry order when possible to protect your order in case of errors or if you lose a connection.
However, not all exchanges accept TP/SL orders, and sometimes your entry order will be left unprotected.
FIFO:
— This tool DOES NOT support the First In First Out (FIFO) method for closing positions.
— Instead, it uses the ANY method. There currently is no way to make this variable.
█ FAQ
What does PSStrategyX do exactly?
PSStrategyX is a strategy enhancing, backtester, forwardtester, automation and simulation tool. It's NOT a signal generator, and does not produce buy/sell signals by itself. You provide buy/sell signals, and PSStrategyX will put those signals on steroids...basically.
PSStrategyX helps you figure out what indicators actually work. Without wasting time learning how to code.
Why did you choose AutoView for this tool?
AutoView offered the best integration I could find. They allow you to connect to test exchanges for free, which is great for practicing without using real money. They also work without using webhooks, which means you can live trade without paying for Tradingview pro. Additionally, AutoView supports many different exchanges. I don't work for AutoView, but if you sign up through my referral link and purchase a paid version, I earn a commission.
Why doesn't Tradingview automatically connect Pine Script to exchanges?
This is a great question, but unfortunately I don't have the answer. It would definitely be helpful if Tradingview provided this feature, but it might also put some brokers out of business.
How do I get access?

• RSI: If the RSI value is below the RSI threshold, then the signal is fired.
• ULT: If the Ultimate Oscillator value is below the ULT threshold, then the signal is fired.
• BB: If the candle is closed below the channel (lower band), then the signal is fired.
• MACD: If the value of the MACD line is < 0 and the MACD line crosses the Signal line from bottom to top, then the signal is fired.
• MFI: If the candle is closed and its value crosses the MFI threshold from bottom to top, then the signal is fired.
• CCI: If the CCI Value crosses the CCI threshold, then the signal is fired.
• PSAR: If the current price is above the Parabolic SAR, then the signal is fired.
• QFL: If the QFL base (support level) is cracked and the price is <= the crack % of drop, then the signal is fired.
• BTC, DXY Filter: If the current price is higher than the SMA length of Bitcoin (BTC) and the US Dollar Index (DXY) is below it, then the signal is fired.
To fire exit signals, the script uses the following conditions:
• TV Technical Rating: If the rating is "Sell" or "Strong Sell”, then the signal is fired.
• RSI: If the RSI value is above the RSI threshold, then the signal is fired.
• QFL SELL: If the QFL peak (resistance level) is cracked and the price is >= the crack % of pump, then the signal is fired.

CryptoGraph Entry BuilderA complete system to generate buy & sell signals, based on multiple indicators, timeframes and assets
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟣 How it works
This indicator allows you to create buy & sell signals, based on multiple trigger conditions, placed in one easy to use TradingView indicator to produce alerts, backtest, reduce risk and increase profitability. This script is especially designed to be used with the CryptoGraph Strategizer indicator. Signals produced by this indicator, can be used as external input with the CryptoGraph Strategizer, by adding both indicators to your chart and selecting "External Input" as entry source in the inputs of the Strategizer indicator. From that point on, buy & sell signals generated by the Entry Builder, will be used for backtesting.
Each trigger or filtering condition is selectable and able to be combined using the selection boxes.
Trigger or filter conditions can be used on a different timeframes, and with different assets or coin pairs. Make sure to set higher timeframe filters, to a higher timeframe than your chart timeframe.
🟣 How to use
• Add the indicator to your chart
• Select an indicator you woud like to use for entry analysis. Combine more indicators for more entry filtering
• Configure entry conditions per indicator. It is recommended to add and configure one indicator at a time
• Analyse your buy/sell entries
• Connect to CryptoGraph Strategizer as external input source for backtesting purposes
🟣 Indicator Filters
• ATR :
Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility .
Possible options for ATR entry filtering are an ATR value greater/smaller than your input variable for trade entries, or the ATR crossing your input variable for trade entries.
This enables the possibility to only enter positions when the market has a certain degree of volatility .
• ADX :
The Average Directional Index ( ADX ) helps traders determine the strength of a trend, not its actual direction. It can be used to find out whether the
market is ranging or starting a new trend.
Possible options for ADX entry filtering are an ADX value greater/smaller than your input variable for trade entries, or the ADX crossing your input variable for trade entries.
• OBV :
The On Balance Volume indicator (OBV) is used in technical analysis to measure buying and selling pressure. It is a cumulative indicator meaning that on days where price went up, that day's volume is added to the cumulative OBV total.
Possible options for OBV entry filtering are Regular, Hidden or Regular&Hidden divergences. Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
• Moving Average :
Moving Average (MA) is a price based, lagging (or reactive) indicator that displays the average price of a security over a set period of time. A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance .
Possible options for MA entry filtering are price being above/below Moving Average 1, price crossing up/down Moving Average 1, Moving Average 1 being above/below Moving Average 2 and Moving Average 1 crossing up/down Moving Average 2.
• Supertrend :
Supertrend (ST) is a trend-following indicator based on Average True Range (ATR). The calculation of its single line combines trend detection and volatility . It can be used to detect changes in trend direction and to position stops.
Possible options for ST entry filtering are Supertrend being in upward/downward direction, or Supertrend changing direction.
• RSI :
The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) is a well versed momentum based oscillator which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements.
Possible options for RSI entry filtering are RSI being smaller/greater than your input value, or RSI crossing up/down your input value.
• Stochastic RSI :
The Stochastic RSI indicator ( Stoch RSI ) is essentially an indicator of an indicator. It is used in technical analysis to provide a stochastic calculation to the RSI indicator. This means that it is a measure of RSI relative to its own high/low range over a user defined period of time.
Possible options for Stoch RSI entry filtering are Stoch RSI crossing below or above your input value.
• VWAP Bands :
Volume Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ) is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume . VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices.
We use standard deviations, determined by user input, to create VWAP bands.
Possible options for VWAP long entry filtering are: price being below the lower VWAP band, price crossing back up the lower VWAP band or price crossing down the lower VWAP band.
Possible options for VWAP short entry filtering are: price being above the upper VWAP band, price crossing back down the upper VWAP band, or price crossing up the upper VWAP band.
• Bollinger Bands :
Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s. Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular).
Possible options for BB long entry filtering are: price being below the lower Bollinger band , price crossing back up the lower Bollinger band or price crossing down the lower Bollinger band .
Possible options for BB short entry filtering are: price being above the upper Bollinger band , price crossing back down the upper Bollinger band , or price crossing up the upper Bollinger band .
• WaveTrend :
WaveTrend (WT) is a smoothed momentum oscillator which enables it to detect true reversals in an accurate manner.
Possible options for WT entry filtering are: Green/red dots below or above a certain WaveTrend value, Regular Divergence, Hidden Divergence and Regular&Hidden Divergence.
CryptoGraph StrategizerA complete system to backtest and automate comprehensive trading strategies
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟣 How it works
This indicator allows you to use buy & sell signals from external CryptoGraph indicators, and fully backtest these signals in the TradingView strategy tester. After configuring buy & sell signals, the trader can look into exit criteria with this indicator. The indicator offers percentage based an ATR based take profit/stop losses, as well as safety orders (DCA) in order to get a better average entry price.
Once your strategy is fully set up to your desired results, it's possible to set up alerts and connect the indicator through an automation platform ( API connection), to your broker. Alertatron & Wick Hunter auto configuration is included, meaning everything configured in the indicator settings, will automatically be carried out with Alertatron & Wick Hunter syntaxes.
🟣 Features
• Multiple methods of scaling in entries (Multiple DCA/Pyramiding methods). There will be an option to scale up or down your volume per order and distance between orders.
• Multiple methods of determining order sizes. Methods are percentage risk per trade, dollar risk per trade, position size in contracts, position size in percentage and position size in dollar.
• Multiple methods and levels of taking profits and losses. Both percentage based and ATR based take profit and stop loss.
• Option to use external indicator buy/sell signals for entry.
• Visualised liquidation prices in TradingView (both cross and isolated)
• Information panel on chart with additional information regarding your strategy results
• Bot setup directly from indicator inputs tab with Wick Hunter & Alertatron
🟣 How to use
• Choose a symbol that corresponds to your bot pair and exchange
• Pick a chart time frame
• Always use the regular candle type
• Configure your deal start condition
• Configure your profit target
• Use the Take Profit/Stop Loss feature to set a target for profit and loss
• Configure your safety orders
• Check your backtest parameters
•Make sure that the initial capital and order size make sense. Since you can use pyramiding in your strategy with safety orders, the sum of all deals should not be bigger than the initial capital
Broadview Economic StudioThank you for taking the time to read this description. We'll be taking a look at the Broadview Economic Studio. This has been a work-in-progress for years and is a very powerful tool for planning trades with complex volume scaling strategies. We will be talking about many indicators and types of indicators used in the public domain, but it is NOT recommended to reverse engineer our scripts as there is quite a bit of logic in the code that works to make each common approach entirely unique. So although you may understand quite a bit about oscillators, the way they work with the rest of the logic within the script may change the way you know them to work from elsewhere.
In the chart snapshot above you'll see a mild configuration where I only had to tweak a few settings. Commissions are set to 0.1%, starting capital is set to $10,000, and slippage is off. In my tests orders came through less than a penny off. Generally speaking, there are really only two situations in which you should be concerned about slippage. The first is if you trade really low timeframe charts like the 1 second. This tool, while it works for any timeframe, is programmed on the 45 minute timeframe and works best there. The other situation in which you should be prepared for slippage is if you're using extremely high volume trades in the hundreds of thousands or millions depending on the market cap and liquidity of the asset you're studying. Large orders like that have to be split up among several deals and that can cause slippage.
There are 31 primary inputs for users to tweak. Each input is grouped within a module called a Suite. Each suite has a focus like filtering signals or strategically allocating volume according to your strategy. Everything starts with the Origin Suite. The Origin Suite is a group of inputs that generates Tops & Bottoms from price action. It uses math like Rate of Change, where one can specify a required rate of change before an Origin signal can be made, and users can specify how much lower in price a bar must be compared to previous bars. So with the Origin Suite, users can control how often they want to see originating signals and under what conditions they can appear.
We used to use WVF and CVI to produce top and bottom signals, but our Origin Suite works much better for systematically generating profitable configurations.
The triangles you see on the chart represent markers, potential signals, or Prop Signals as they're referred to within the script. The blue arrows represent trades where Prop Signals were allowed to pass as true long signals. There are two ways to ignore Prop Signals. You can filter the markers entirely, or you can reduce their volume scaling to the minimum which is usually $10 for most exchanges. We're first going to be talking about some of the primary DCA inputs before we talk about the technology we use to filter and overload signals.
Here are some important features found within the script:
Base Orders
Safety Orders
Take Profits
Change-Based Volume Scaling
Ignoring Low or Medium Changes
Overloading
Filtering
Alert Messages w/ Volume Scaling
Let's walk through each of these features in more depth.
The Base Order is the initial Long position within a series. It comes in first and is followed by all of its Safety Orders. The Base Order is set to $25 within the script by default. Keeping the base order low allows one to reserve more of their capital for Safety Orders that are lower within a dip, and thus, lower the user's Position Average. The primary feature of this script is to help users plan their volume scaling strategically, and this is where we start. It's this kind of due diligence and effort in protecting trades that makes this script unique.
So we start with a low Base Order. Then, we follow with a lot of Safety Orders. Typically in DCA this is done in consistent time intervals and in consistent amounts. So in regular DCA one may invest the same amount bi-weekly on pay day. They use the financial instrument as a sort of savings and average their position over their consistent investments. This is not where the bleeding edge of DCA is today though. In modern Doller Cost Averaging, I would expect to see signals and volume scaling based on logic.. as opposed to being consistent intervals.
This sets up the explanation of the primary means of volume scaling within the script. Mathematically, we start with the net balance. This is your specified starting balance plus any wins or losses. Users specify what % of their Available Balance they would like to start with when volume scaling. This percent of capital is then multiplied by a Safety Order Multiplier. The safety order multiplier is made up of a number specified by the user, multiplied by the number of the Safety Order you're on. So user's can control this equation/algorithm and scale their investments as the number of Safety Orders increases and drops in price become more opportune.
The Take Profit within the script lets users specify their desired ROI from a series. So if a user sets a 60% take profit, the script will set a price from the position average that when reached will give the user a 60% ROI for the series including its Base Order and all its Safety Orders.
Before moving on, let's talk about the amazing internal reporting found in the script. When you zoom in on the blue arrows, you can see each trade is accompanied by some extremely helpful information. This is just another feature that makes this script unique, it is the feature that gives us accurate reporting and ultimately allows us to connect with TradingView's Strategy Tester in a way that provides instant backtests with good merit. With this reporting not only can users get reports and information on trades made on different assets with different configurations, but user's can perform a deep dive on each configuration and know exactly what was going on for each trade. The first number is the number of the safety order the script is on. Remember, this is used in the primary volume scaling math. The second number is the amount the script spent on the current trade. The third number denotes the cumulative spending for the series. The final number displays the script's available balance at that time. With these numbers, the TradingView Strategy Tester, and the List of Trades feature, users can practice as much due diligence as they need during their studies.
Let's move on to talking about my favorite suite within the script, the Volume Scaling Suite. Here there are two primary means of controlling volume scaling. Although, in the near future there will be more.
In this suite you'll find Change-Based Volume Scaling and Position Average Volume Scaling. Position Average Volume Scaling is quite easy to explain. This feature only allows signals to pass if they are lower in price than your base order. In this way, users can apply most of their capital to trades that lower their position average. Simply having the money in the market can boost profits, but having a lower Position Average is the entire reason we DCA. Change-Based Volume Scaling is quite a bit more complex.
In theory, one could argue that every moment is a great moment to buy. It's just that some moments are more opportune than others. So it's not about perfect signals as much as it's about proper volume scaling.
Change-Based Volume Scaling allows us to set rules that dictate how much volume scaling is used based on the asset's current delta, or Rate of Change.
Using CBVS, one can downscale capital applied to signals with a low ROC, or simply ignore them. So if a signal comes in and the price hasn't changed very much then you can automatically use less volume for the trade. One can do the same thing for medium changes, and the user can specify what quantifies as a low or medium change. Users can give extra volume to signals with a greater rate of change, or overload signals with a high rate of change! So the CBVS feature gives users the ability to allocate volume based on logic rooted in the asset's rate of change. If a signal has dropped a lot in price, then generally, it is deserving of more capital and that's what makes this feature unique and so powerful.
There are two kinds of Overloading found in the script. There's overloading from CBVS, and then overloading from the 4 signal filtering suites. There's an important difference to note before we move on. Overloading performed by CBVS is based on ignored signals. So if you ignore low or medium change signals, and you have CBVS Overloading on, the script will allocate more capital to High Change signals. When signals are ignored, they are downscaled to $10. Whereas with the filtering suites, if a signal is filtered the Prop Signal triangle marker is removed entirely. The overloading in that scenario is simply applied to signals that aren't filtered. The reason it's done this way is because allowing ignored signals to still come in, with the lowest volume scaling possible, keeps the Safety Order count rising which works in the volume scaling math. This math is intrinsic to getting capital deep within dips and crashes.
So in future versions we may allow ignored signals to be filtered out entirely but for the time being, simply scaling them down to the lowest possible amount is what produces the best and most consistent configurations.
Let's talk about filtering signals, and the overloading provided within each filtering suite.
Here you can see our Overbought & Oversold Heatmap V3. This is a unique indicator that takes 15 common oscillators and visualizes them in a way that clearly denotes confluence. Looking at this indicator makes it easer to read cycles and trends. It is quite common for investors to base their entire scripts on one or more of the oscillators found within the OBOS Heatmap V3. So the OBOS Heatmap V3 is an awesome way to ensure your signals follow an oversold trend! The orange represents an oscillator being oversold, while the yellow represents it being overbought. Generally, when an asset is oversold it is a better time to buy. One can filter signals based on this information and use the Heatmap's unique ability to quantify confluences. In this script users can set a sensitivity and that sets the number of oscillators that must be in agreement before a signal is allowed to pass.
Here are the oscillators found within the OBOS Heatmap:
*Please keep in mind that although some of these oscillators may have big names, the code and math in the script may work differently than you're used to. This is because the code and math is changed quite a bit, and the overall intended functionality of the OBOS Heatmap has a larger scope than any one indicator. It's also important to note that the lengths for these oscillators are set low and are meant to classify the individual signal as either overbought or oversold, and not the entire period. So while the OBOS Heatmap is awesome for trends and cycles, it's ultimately meant to classify individual price bars as either overbought or oversold according to a consensus.*
Relative Strength Index
Money Flow Index
Commodity Channel Index
Aroon Oscillator
Relative Volatility Index
Fast Stochastic Detrended Price Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Elders Force Index
Fast Stochastic Relative Strength Index
Fast Stochastic Relative Vigor Index
Fast Stochastic Klinger Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Awesome Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Ultimate Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Chande Momentum Oscillator
Fast Stochastic On Balance Volume Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Moving Average Convergence/Divergence
Each band of the Overbought & Oversold Heatmap represents an oscillator. When it's orange it's said to be oversold. When it's yellow it's said to be overbought. The indicator turns purple during trends and reversals where it is neither overbought nor oversold. It can differentiate between uptrends and downtrends with differing colors of purple, but the OBOS Heatmap is not used for trends or cycles in this script. It is used to quantify oversold confluence.
Let's talk about the Dominance Suite.
First note in the top portion of the screenshot above, you will see various colors in the script. It replaces the price line with something we call Price Flow bars. So when you add the script it's best to make the stock price line invisible in TV settings. The Price Flow Bars use a preset EMA to color price action as being in either a downward momentum or upward momentum. The triangular signals represent dark teal for the initial long marker within a series, dark green for long orders and long signals that convert into safety orders, and light green for safety orders. This is more logic that makes this script really unique. The dark green initial long marker signals are rarely seen. You can find them at the beginning of a new series of signals and they work to establish when a new series of signals should begin. The dark green signals actually denote a long base order opportunity, but if a series has already started then these signals are converted into Safety Orders. The Safety Orders then come in light green, and red for Prop Shorts. Prop Shorts work with Initial Longs to establish the start of a new series. More on that math I cannot tell.
In the bottom half of the screenshot is the Dominance Suite itself. It's another one of the four filtering suites found in the script. It is made up of 7 oscillators that work to classify a price bar as being controlled by either the bears or the bulls. If a price bar is controlled by the bears it is said to be a better investment. The Dominance Suite works by applying a moving average to the balance of power. This is the way TradingView has intended the balance of power to be used, and works quite nicely in classifying individual price bars as either bearish or bullish. It's not an overall trend indicator as much as it states whether a bar is mostly controlled by the bears or the bulls.
Here are the oscillators found within the Dominance Suite:
SMA of BOP
EMA of BOP
HMA of BOP
WMA of BOP
VWMA of BOP
TEMA of BOP
LSMA of BOP
Within the script, there is an input for a negative threshold. When each of these 7 oscillators is in confluence and below this set threshold, the Prop Long will be allowed to pass as a real trade.
Keep in mind that each filtering suite also has the option to overload signals.
So not only can you filter signals based on these suites but you can also apply additional volume scaling to signals that don't get filtered.
Here we have the True Oscillator. The True Oscillator is a brand new oscillator. It's similar to things like the RSI or DPO, but technically speaking it considers many more factors into its average than other oscillators. It considers balance of power, sentiment, volume, momentum, gravity, and places special-strategic weighting on price data based on whether it's opening, closing, high, or low. If you stack the True Oscillator up with the RSI you'll notice right away they look similar, but each movement is quite different. Overall the movements are more balanced, the individual bars are more consistent with price data, and the swings are more clearly pronounced while simultaneously having a better register of strength in momentum. We use this indicator to filter and overload signals, to trade according to momentum, and to provide a 16th independent oscillator that can check the OBOS Heatmap without having to be confluent.
The final filtering suite is based on Net Volume. It classifies signals as oversold when there is a significant negative trend in net volume. If Net Volume is under 0, and trends downward for either 3, 4, or 5 bars in a row then it will mark a signal as oversold and allow it to pass. Then, if overloading for this suite is turned on it will allocate more volume to signals it does not filter out.
There is a lot that can be said about this strategy. The primary takeaway though is that it's not just one strategy. It's a tool for everyone, to help them plan their approach to different assets in different market climates. This tool can help you study current market conditions. It can allow you to plan a strategic approach to market segments, and see how your strategy would fare if new market data performed similarly. It's not just one strategy, but more of a strategy printer.
The Origin Suite allows users to plan the positioning of their signals. The Overbought & Oversold Suite allows users to filter their signals based on whether or not they are oversold. The Dominance Suite allows users to filter signals based on whether the market is being controlled by the bears or the bulls. The True Oscillator gives users the ability to filter signals based on a deep and powerful momentum oscillator. The Net Volume Suite lets users filter signals based on volume trends. When signals are filtered, signals that pass, can be overloaded with additional volume scaling. Features like Change-Based Volume Scaling and Position Average Volume Scaling give users plenty of inputs to create complex volume scaling strategies. Common-sense DCA inputs allow users to scale into markets the way pros do.
The Broadview Economic Studio is a powerful tool for planning trades with complex volume scaling strategies.
Users can plan their approach to different kinds of markets. They can link the script with their bot or broker like 3Commas, and the script will automatically send the correct volume scaling through to the bot.
Thank you for your time, and for reading the description of the Broadview Economic Studio.
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.

End Time
This strategy also allows you to plot the Average Price and Take Profit of each trade, so it's easier to follow the trade and understand what's happening.
█ HOW TO USE
1. Select a DCA Preset and change the initial capital to the exact amount that is required (seen in the error message on top of the table). When using a Preset the following settings will be locked, meaning if you change them in the script's settings it won't have any effect:
Base Order Size
Safety Order Size
Max Safety Trades Count
Price Deviation to open safety order %
Safety Order Volume Scale
Safety Order Step Scale
Use ADR (Average Daily Range) as Take Profit
1.1 When using Presets you can choose the Order Size Type of Fixed or % of equity which simulates compounding
1.2 Choose a Direction and a Start and End Time
2. To backtest customized settings choose the preset "Custom"
2.1 All other settings are now "unlocked" and can be used
█ LIMITATIONS
Whenever a DCA preset is changed the initial_capital needs to be changed to the exact amount the settings require. If the initial_capital is not the same there will be an error of top of the table. To fix this error navigate to the Script's Settings and Properties and change the initial_capital to the same amount that is stated in the error.
DCA Bots with a high number of safety orders, e.g. 100, can run into an error that says "Maximum number of orders (9000) reached". If this error happens change the backtesting time to a shorter timeframe.
Using % of equity simulates compounding but is unrealistic because you cannot re-invest every single dollar

3Commas dollar cost averaging (DCA) QFL IndicatorAs investors, we often face the dilemma of willing high stock prices when we sell, but not when we buy. There are times when this dilemma causes investors to wait for a dip in prices, thereby potentially missing out on a continual rise. This is how investors get lured away from the markets and become tangled in the slippery slope of market timing, which is not advisable to a long-term investment strategy.
Skyrex developed a complex indicator based on dollar-cost averaging in Quick Fingers Luc's interpretation. It is a combinations of strategies which allows to systematically accumulate assets by investing scaled amounts of money at defined market cycle global support levels. Dollar-cost averaging can reduce the overall impact of price volatility and lower the average cost per asset thus even during market slumps only a small bounce is required to reach take profit.
The indicator script monitors a chart price action and identifies bases as they form. When bases are reached the script provides entry alerts. During price action development an asset value can go lower and in this way the script will perform safety entries alerts at each subsequent accumulation levels. When weighted average entry price reaches target profit the script will perform a take profit action alert.
Bases are identified as pivot lows in a fractal pattern and validated by an adjustable decrease/rise percentage to ensure significancy of identified bases. To qualify a pivot low, the indicator will perform the following validation:
Validate the price rate of change on drops and bounces is above a given threshold amount.
Validate the volume at the low pivot point is above the volume moving average (using a given length).
Validate the volume amount is a given factor of magnitude above is above the volume moving average.
Validate the potential new base is not too close to the previous range by using a given price percent difference threshold amount.
A fractal pattern is a recurring pattern on a price chart that can predict reversals among larger, more chaotic price movements. These basic fractals are composed of five or more bars. The rules for identifying fractals are as follows:
A bearish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the highest high in the middle and two lower highs on each side.
A bullish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the lowest low in the middle and two higher lows on each side.
Basic dollar-cost averaging approach is enhances by implementation of adjustable accumulation levels in order to provide opportunity of setting them at defined global support levels and Martingale volume coefficient to increase averaging effect. According to Quick Fingers Luc's principles trading principles we added volume validation of a base because it allows to confirm that the market is resistant to further price decrease.
The indicator supports traditional and cryptocurrency spot, futures , options and marginal trading exchanges. It works accurately with BTC , USD, USDT, ETH and BNB quote currencies. Best to use with 1H timeframe charts and limit orders. The indicator can be and should be configured for each particular asset according to its global support and resistance levels and price action cycles. You can modify levels and risk management settings to receive better performance
The difference between core script and this interpretation is that this strategy is specially designed for 3Commas bots
How to use?
1. Apply indicator to a trading pair your are interested in using 1H timeframe chart
2. Configure the indicator: change layer values, order size multiple and take profit/stop loss values according to current market cycle stage
3. Set up a TradingView custom alert using the indicator settings to trigger on a condition you are interested in
4. The indicator will send alerts when to enter and when to exit positions which can be applied to your portfolio using external trading platforms
5. Update settings once market conditions are changed using backtests on a monthly period
