Usage Guide
Part 1: The concept and general possibilities of the "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF" strategy
Introduction
Welcome to the guide to "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF", a powerful and versatile automated trading strategy for the TradingView platform. This tool was developed for traders who are looking for flexibility, control and a high degree of adaptability to various market conditions.
The strategy is based on a hybrid approach that combines two popular and time-tested techniques.:
1. GRID (grid trading): The classic method of averaging a position is by placing a grid of limit orders.
2. DCA (Dollar Cost averaging): Smart position averaging based on signals from external indicators.
However, "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF" goes far beyond the simple combination of these two techniques. The strategy includes a number of unique and innovative features, such as cascading MultiGRID grids for dealing with extreme volatility, Channel Mode range trading mode for profiting from sideways movement, and Low Time Frame analysis (LTF) to achieve surgical accuracy in backtesting. Deep customization options for risk management, capital, take profits, and stop losses allow you to configure a strategy for almost any trading style, asset, and timeframe.
The basic idea: How does it work?
Let's take a detailed look at each of the key concepts embedded in the logic of the strategy.
1. GRID — Automatic placement of buy and sell orders at certain price intervals.
This is a fundamental mode of operation. Its main goal is to systematically improve the average entry price for a position if the market is going against you.
* The principle of operation: After opening the base (first) order (`BO`), the strategy automatically places a series of pending limit orders (here they are called "safety orders" or "SO") at certain price intervals. For a long position, orders are placed below the entry price, and for a short position, orders are placed higher.
* Target: When the price moves against an open position, it consistently hits and executes safety orders. Each such execution adds additional volume to the position at a more favorable price, thereby shifting the overall average entry price (`position_avg_price') closer to the current market price. This means that a much smaller corrective movement will be required to gain ground.
* Flexibility: You have full control over the geometry of the grid: the number of safety orders, the percentage distance between them (`SO Step`), and you can even set a coefficient that will increase this step for each subsequent order (`SO Multiplier`), creating an expanding grid.
2. DCA (Signal Averaging) — Smart Averaging
This mode adds an additional layer of analysis to the averaging process. Instead of just buying/selling at the set price levels, the strategy waits for a confirmation signal.
* Working principle: You can connect any external indicator (for example, RSI, CCI, or even your own complex signal system) to the strategy, which outputs numerical values. As standard, 1 is used for a long signal, and -1 is used for a short signal. The strategy will place the next averaging order only at the moment when it receives the appropriate signal.
* Goal: To average a position not just during a fall (or a rise for a short), but at the moments that your main trading system considers the most favorable for this. This allows you to avoid "catching falling knives" and enter only if there are good reasons.
3. Hybrid Mode (GRID+DCA) is the best of the previous two modes
This mode is designed for maximum filtering and control. It requires two conditions to be fulfilled simultaneously.
* Working principle: The safety order will be executed only if the price has reached the calculated grid level and a confirmation signal has been received from your external indicator. If a confirmation signal is received from an external indicator, the next calculated grid level activates the limit order.
* Goal: To create the most reliable averaging system that protects against premature entries and requires double confirmation (both by price and indicator) before increasing the position size.
4. MultiGRID — Adaptation to extreme volatility
This is one of the most powerful and unique features of a strategy designed to survive and make a profit in the face of strong, protracted trends or "black swans".
* The problem it solves: The usual grid of orders has a limited depth. If the price goes beyond the last safety order, the strategy loses the opportunity to average and becomes vulnerable.
* The principle of operation: The MultiGRID function allows you to create "cascades" — several grids following one another. When all the orders of the first grid are executed, the strategy does not stop. Instead, she can activate the second, third (and so on) a grid of orders. The new grid can be activated by one of two triggers:
1. Offset: The new grid is activated when the price passes another set percentage deviation from the last executed order.
2. Signal: The new grid is activated when a signal is received from an external indicator.
* Goal: To significantly expand the working range of the strategy. This allows it to adapt to strong market movements that would "break" the usual grid, and continue to effectively average a position at a much greater depth of decline or growth.
5. Channel Mode — Trading in the range
This feature turns a standard averaging strategy into a machine for "farming" profits within a price channel that is formed during a sideways market movement.
* The problem it solves: In the standard grid strategy, after partially closing a take profit position, the volume of this part "leaves" the trade until the deal is fully closed. You are missing the opportunity to reuse this capital.
* Operating principle: When Channel Mode is enabled, the following happens. Suppose the price went against you, executed several safety orders, and then turned around and reached one of the partial take profits. At this point, the strategy is:
1. Fixes the profit, as it should be.
2. Instantly places a new limit order to buy (or sell for a short) at exactly the same price level where the last triggered safety order was executed. The volume of this order is equal to the volume of the part that was just closed for take profit.
3. If the price goes down again and executes this "repeat" order, the strategy immediately sets a corresponding take profit for it at the level where the previous profit was taken.
* Goal: To create a continuous buy-sell cycle within the local range (channel). The lower limit of the channel is the price of the last averaging, and the upper limit is the price of a partial take profit. This allows you to repeatedly profit from sideways price fluctuations, without waiting for the full closure of the main, large transaction.
6. LTF (Lower Timeframe Analysis) — Surgical precision of backtesting
This feature is critically important for obtaining reliable results during historical testing (backtesting) of grid strategies.
* The problem it solves: The standard testing mechanism in TradingView has a serious limitation. Working, for example, on a 4-hour chart, he sees only 4 candle points: Open, High, Low and Close. He does not know in what order the price moved within these 4 hours. He could have touched High first and then Low, or vice versa. For grid strategies, this is fatal — the engine can show that a take profit has been executed, although in reality the price first went down, collected the entire grid of orders and only then turned around.
* How it works: When you turn on the LTF mode, the strategy for each candle on your main chart (for example, 4H) requests and analyzes all candles from the lower timeframe you specified (for example, 1-minute). Then it virtually trades the entire price path for these minute candles, executing orders, take profits and stop losses in the sequence in which they would occur in reality. It works in the single take profit mode of the Grid strategy.
* Goal: To provide the most realistic and reliable backtest that reflects the real dynamics of the market. This allows you to avoid false expectations and accurately assess the potential performance of the strategy.

Part 2: Detailed description of the strategy settings
This section is your main guide to all the switches and options available in the strategy. Understanding each setting is the key to unlocking the full potential of this powerful tool.
1. 🛡️ Risk Management 🛡️
This group contains fundamental parameters that determine the basic logic of risk management and the geometry of grid orders.
* Strategy type: Determines the direction of transactions.
* Long: The strategy will only open long positions (buy).
* Short: The strategy will only open short positions (sell).
* Both: The strategy will work both ways, opening long or short depending on the incoming signal.
* SO Count: Sets the maximum number of Safety (averaging) Orders (SO) that the strategy will place within the same grid. If you have MultiGRID enabled, this number applies to each individual grid.
* SO Step (%): This is the base percentage deviation from the entry price at which the first safety order will be placed. For example, at a value of 0.5, the first SO in a long trade will be placed 0.5% lower than the opening price of the base order.
* SO Multiplier: A coefficient that exponentially increases the step for each subsequent safety order. This allows you to create an expanding grid where averaging orders are placed further and further apart, which is effective with strong and accelerating price movements.
* *The step formula for the nth order*: Step(N) = (SO Step) * (SO Multiplier ^(N-1)).
* If the value is 1, all steps will be the same.
* With a value of 1.6, the step of the second SO will be 1.6 times larger than the first, the step of the third will be 1.6 times larger than the second, and so on.
* 1️⃣ TP/SL: These are simplified settings for quick configuration. They allow you to turn on/off the main take profit and stop loss and set basic percentage values for them. More detailed settings for these parameters can be found in the relevant sections below.
// ------------------------
2. 💰 Money Management 💰
Everything related to position size, leverage, and capital is configured here.
* Volume BO (Base Order): Determines the size of the trade's opening order.
* Volume BO: A fixed amount in the quote currency (for example, in USDT).
* USDT (check mark): Manages the information in the comments to the orders. If enabled, the volume of orders in USDT will be displayed in the comments. This is convenient for visual analysis and for sending the amount of USDT by the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} via webhooks when connecting the strategy to the exchange or trading terminals.
* or % of deposit: The amount calculated as a percentage of the available capital of the strategy. The check mark to the right of this field enables this mode. Important: using a percentage activates the effect of compounding (compound interest), as the amount of each new transaction will be automatically recalculated based on the current capital (initial capital + profit/loss). If enabled, the percentage of orders will be displayed in the comments. This is convenient for visual analysis and for sending percentages on the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} via webhooks when connecting the strategy to the stock exchange, trading terminals, or creating Copy trading.
* Martingale: The coefficient applied to the volume of orders. It increases the size of each subsequent insurance order compared to the base one.
* Volume formula for the nth SO: Volume SO (N) = (Volume BO) * (Martingale^N).
* With a value of 1.2, the volume of the first SO will be 1.2 times greater than the base, the second — 1.44 times (`1.2 * 1.2`) and so on.
* Leverage: Specify the size of your leverage. This parameter is used exclusively for calculating and displaying the approximate liquidation price. It does not affect the size of positions, but it helps to visually assess the risks.
* Liquidation: Enables or disables the calculation and display of the liquidation line on the chart.
* Margin type: Allows you to select a method for calculating the liquidation price, simulating the logic of exchanges:
* Isolated: The liquidation price is calculated based on the size and leverage of the current open position only.
* Cross: The calculation simulates using the entire available balance to maintain a position. In the strategy, the liquidation price is calculated as the level at which the loss on the current transaction is equal to the current capital.
* Commission (%): Specify the percentage of your exchange's commission per transaction. The correct value of this parameter is crucial for obtaining realistic backtest results.
// ------------------------
3. 🕸️ Grid Management 🕸️
This group is responsible for the logic of safety orders and advanced mechanics such as Channel Mode and MultiGRID.
* SO Type: Defines the logic of placing averaging orders.
* GRID: Classic grid. All safety orders are placed in advance as limit orders.
* DCA: Signal averaging. The strategy is waiting for a signal from an external indicator to place a market averaging order.
* GRID+DCA: Hybrid. The strategy waits for a signal, and if it arrives, places a limit order at the appropriate price level of the grid or executes a market order if the signal has arrived below the limit order level.
* Signal for SO: A data source (indicator) that will be used for signals in DCA and GRID+DCA modes.
* ↔️ Channel Mode: When this option is enabled, the strategy tries to trade in a sideways range. After partially closing a take profit position, it immediately places a limit order for re-entry at the price of the last triggered safety order. This creates a buy-sell cycle within the local channel.
* Best Price Only: This filter adds an additional condition for averaging in DCA and MultiGRID modes (when it operates on a signal). The next averaging order or a new grid will be activated only if the current price is more favorable (lower for long, higher for short) than the price of the previous entry.
* 🧩 MultiGRID ⮕ Enables cascading grid mode.
* Grid Count: The total number of grids that can be activated sequentially.
* Offset: Percentage deviation from the price of the last order of the previous grid. When this margin is reached, the following grid of orders is activated (this mode does not require a signal).
* Or signal: Allows you to use the signal from an external indicator as a trigger to activate the next grid. The checkmark on the right turns on this mode.
// ------------------------
4. 🎯 Entry and Stop 🎯
This group of settings allows you to fine-tune the conditions for starting a new trade and all aspects related to protective stop orders, including the complex mechanics of trailing and managing SL after partial take profits.
* 🎯 Signal: A data source (indicator) that will be used to determine when to enter a trade. The strategy expects a value of 1 for the start of a long trade and -1 for a short trade.
* Min Bars: Sets the minimum number of candles that must pass from the moment of opening the previous trade to the moment of opening the next one. A value of 0 disables this filter. This is a useful tool to prevent overly frequent entries in a "noisy" market.
* Non-stop: If this option is enabled, the strategy ignores the Entry Signal and opens a new trade immediately after closing the previous one (taking into account the Min Bars filter, if it is set). This turns the strategy into a constantly working mechanism that is always on the market.
* 🛑 SL Type: Defines the base price from which the stop loss percentage will be calculated. The stop loss in the first section must be enabled for this block of settings to work.
* From the entry point: SL is always calculated from the opening price of the very first base order. It remains static throughout the entire transaction unless it is moved by other functions.
* From breakeven line: SL is dynamically recalculated and shifted each time a safety order is executed. It always follows the average price of the position, being at a given percentage distance from it.
* From last executed SO: SL is recalculated from the price of the last executed order, whether it is a base or a safety order.
* From last SO: SL is calculated from the price of the most recent possible safety order in the grid. This is usually the most remote and conservative type of SL.
* Trailing SL Type: Defines the algorithm by which the stop loss will move after its activation.
* Standard: Classic trailing. After activation, SL will follow the price at a fixed distance.
* ATR: SL will follow the price at a distance equal to the value of the ATR indicator multiplied by the specified multiplier.
* External Source: SL will follow any selected line of the third-party indicator.
* Period and Multiplier: Common parameters for all types of trailing.
* Source: The source of the line for the trailing SL of the third-party indicator.
* Trailing SL after entry: The mode of activation of the trailing SL after entering the transaction
* SL management after TP (sections 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣): These three blocks allow you to create a complex stop loss management logic as profits are recorded.
For each take profit level (TP1, TP2, TP3), you can configure:
* SL BE / SL TP1 / SL TP2: When the corresponding TP is reached, the stop loss will be moved to the breakeven point (for TP1), to the TP1 price level (for TP2) or to the TP2 price level (for TP3).
* Trailing SL: When the corresponding TP is reached, the trailing stop loss is activated according to the settings above.
* By ↔️ Signal: A very powerful option. If it is enabled, the above action (SL transfer or trailing activation) will occur when the opposite trading signal is received from an external indicator. This allows you to protect profits or reduce losses if the market turns sharply, even before reaching the target.
* SL Delay ⮕ Allows you to delay the activation of the stop loss.
* Number of Bars: The Stop loss will be physically placed on the market only after the specified number of candles has passed since entering the trade. This can help to avoid "taking out" the stop with a random short movement (squiz) immediately after opening a position.
* SL Block: Unique defensive mechanics for trading both ways (`Strategy Type: Both`).
* Number of SL: If the strategy receives the specified number of stop losses in a row in one direction (for example, 2 stops long), it temporarily blocks the opportunity to open new trades in that direction.
* Lock Reset mode:
* By direction: The lock is lifted if a profitable trade is closed in the allowed direction or if a stop loss is triggered in the opposite direction.
* First profit: The lock is lifted after closing any profitable transaction, regardless of its direction.
// ------------------------
5. ✅ Take Profit ✅
This group of settings provides comprehensive control over profit taking, from a simple take profit to a complex system of partial closures and trailing.
* ✅ TP Type: Defines the base price for calculating the percentage deviation of the take profit.
* From entry point: TP is calculated from the base order price.
* From breakeven line: TP dynamically follows the average position price.
* From last executed SO: TP is calculated from the price of the last executed order.
* Filters for closing on signal
* Only ➕: If TP is triggered by a signal, the deal will be closed only if it is in the black relative to the average price.
* Or >TP: If TP is triggered by a signal, the trade will be closed only if the closing price is better than (or equal to) the estimated price of this TP.
* TP type of trailing: Yes, take profit has a trailing too! It works differently than the SL trailing.
* Standard / ATR: After the price touches the "virtual" TP level, the trailing is activated. He does not place a stop order, but begins to move away from the price, dynamically moving the limit order to close further and further in the profitable direction, allowing him to collect the maximum from the impulse movement.
* External Source: TP will follow any selected line of the third-party indicator.
* Period and Multiplier: Parameters for calculating the trailing margin TP.
* Source: The source of the line for the trailing TP of the third-party indicator.
* TP level settings (sections 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣, 4️⃣): The strategy supports up to four independent take profit levels, which allows for a flexible system of partial commits.
For each level, you can set:
* TP: Enable the level and set its percentage deviation from the base price.
* Size: What percentage of the current position will be closed when this level is reached. For the last active TP, this parameter is ignored, and 100% of the remaining position is closed.
* Trailing TP: Enable the above-described trailing mechanism for this particular level.
* Signal: Enable closing based on the signal from the external indicator for this level.
* Or take: If both the closing on the signal and the limit order are enabled, then whatever comes first will work.
* After SO: Activate this TP level only after the specified number of safety orders has been executed. This allows you to set closer targets for riskier (deeply averaged) positions.
// ------------------------
6. 🔬 GRID and MultiGrid Analysis on Lower TFs (LTF) 🔬
This group activates one of the most important functions for accurate testing of grid strategies.
* Enable LTF Calculation ⮕ The main switch of the analysis mode on the lower timeframes.
* Timeframe selection: A drop-down list where you can select a timeframe for detailed analysis. For example, if your main schedule is 1 hour, you can select 1 minute here. The strategy will emulate the trading of minute candles within each hour candle.
❗️Important: As mentioned in the first part, the use of this mode is critically necessary to obtain realistic backtest results, especially for strategies with a dense grid of orders. Without it, the results may be overly optimistic and not reflect the real dynamics of the market. It should be remembered that TradingView imposes a limit on the number of intra-bars (minor TF bars) that can be requested. This is usually about 100,000 bars.
// ------------------------
7. 🕘 Backtest Date Range 🕘
This group allows you to focus testing on a specific historical period.
* Limit Date Range: Enables date filtering.
* Start time: The date and time when the strategy will start analyzing and opening deals.
* End time: The date and time after which the strategy will stop opening new deals and complete testing.
// ------------------------
8. 🎨 Visualization 🎨
All the options responsible for the appearance and information content of the chart are collected here.
* Show PnL labels: Enables/disables the display of text labels with the result (profit/loss) after closing each trade.
* Statistics Table: Enables/disables the main dashboard with detailed statistics on the results of the backtest.
* Strategy Settings Table: Enables/disables an additional panel that summarizes all the key parameters of the current configuration.
* Monthly Profit Table: Enables/disables a table with a breakdown of percentage returns by month and year.
* Table settings: For each of the three tables, you can individually adjust the Text size and Table Position on the screen to position them as conveniently as possible.
* Decimal places: Defines how many decimal places will be displayed in numeric values in tables and on labels.
// ------------------------
9. ✉️ Webhook Settings ✉️
This group is intended for traders who want to automate trading on strategy signals using third-party services and exchanges (for example, 3Commas, WunderTrading, Cryptorobotics, Cryptohopper, Bitsgap, Binance, ByBit, OKX, Pionex, Bitget or proprietary solutions).
For each key event in the strategy, there is a separate switch and a text field:
* Webhook for Open: Enable and set a message for the webhook that will be sent when the base order is opened.
* Webhook for Averaging: A message sent when executing any insurance order.
* Webhook for Take Profit: A message sent when closing on take profit (including partial ones).
* Webhook for Stop-Loss: A message sent when a stop loss is closed.
You can insert a JSON code or any other message format that your service requires for automation into the text fields. The strategy supports special placeholders (for example, `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}`), which allow you to dynamically insert the necessary data into the message, such as the amount of USDT or the percentage of the deposit for entry, averaging and take profit orders.
DCA
Adaptive MVRV & RSI Strategy V6 (Dynamic Thresholds)Strategy Explanation
This is an advanced Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy for Bitcoin that aims to adapt to long-term market cycles and changing volatility. Instead of relying on fixed buy/sell signals, it uses a dynamic, weighted approach based on a combination of on-chain data and classic momentum.
Core Components:
Dual-Indicator Signal: The strategy combines two powerful indicators for a more robust signal:
MVRV Ratio: An on-chain metric to identify when Bitcoin is fundamentally over or undervalued relative to its historical cost basis.
Weekly RSI: A classic momentum indicator to gauge long-term market strength and identify overbought/oversold conditions.
Dynamic, Self-Adjusting Thresholds: The core innovation of this strategy is that it avoids fixed thresholds (e.g., "sell when RSI is 70"). Instead, the buy and sell zones are dynamically calculated based on a long-term (2-year) moving average and standard deviation of each indicator. This allows the strategy to automatically adapt to Bitcoin's decreasing volatility and changing market structure over time.
Weighted DCA (Scaling In & Out): The strategy doesn't just buy or sell a fixed amount. The size of its trades is scaled based on conviction:
Buying: As the MVRV and RSI fall deeper into their "undervalued" zones, the percentage of available cash used for each purchase increases.
Selling: As the indicators rise further into "overvalued" territory, the percentage of the current position sold also increases.
This creates an adaptive system that systematically accumulates during periods of fear and distributes during periods of euphoria, with the intensity of its actions directly tied to the extremity of market conditions.
Marcius Studio® - Fishing Net™Fishing Net™ — a dynamic grid trading strategy with predefined entry levels and built-in risk management.
The strategy gradually builds positions as the price pulls back, and closes all trades when the Take Profit level is reached.
The main concept is to accumulate positions at multiple levels, like a net, and capture potential upward movement without promising guaranteed profits.
Important! This strategy is designed for HIGH-LIQUIDITY assets (ETH / BTC / SOL etc.) and is not suitable for LOW-LIQUIDITY assets.
Strategy Parameters
Level Step (%) : distance between grid levels.
Shift (%) : offset of the first entry level relative to price.
Take Profit (%) : target for closing all open positions.
Number of Orders (1–10) : total number of grid levels.
Risk per Trade (%) : capital risk per trade (1–100%), defines maximum position size.
Example Settings
Applicable for OKX:BTCUSDT.P / OKX:ETHUSDT.P / OKX:SOLUSDT.P etc.
Timeframe : 1H
Level Step : 1.0
Shift : 1.0
Take Profit : 5
Number of Orders : 10
Risk per Trade : 10%
How the Code Works
The script calculates a grid of entry levels below the current price.
When the price touches a level, an order is placed with size based on equity × risk % .
The strategy scales into the position gradually (up to the number of levels).
When the Take Profit target is reached, all positions are closed simultaneously.
All levels and the TP line are plotted on the chart for visual clarity.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Trading involves risk — always do your own research (DYOR) and seek professional financial advice. We are not responsible for any potential financial losses.
Marcius Studio® - DCA Grid Bot Backtesting™DCA Grid Bot Backtesting™ — is a flexible backtesting strategy for DCA grid trading. It allows you to define a price range and split it into multiple grid levels. The bot opens positions when price touches new levels and closes them at the Take Profit target, simulating real grid trading conditions.
The main purpose of this tool is to test and optimize grid-based strategies with customizable parameters, capital allocation, and automatic visualization directly on the TradingView chart.
Important! This strategy is intended for backtesting and educational purposes . Historical results do not guarantee future performance.
How to Use
Automatic: When adding the script to a chart, you can select Lower/Upper Limit and Start/End Time directly on the chart. Limits can be adjusted by dragging.
Manual: Set the Lower/Upper Limit and Start/End Time directly in the script settings.
Recommendations
The script works best on LOW-LIQUIDITY assets when used to simulate concentrated liquidity within a VRVP-defined range.
The script is designed for a LONG trend , so it performs best when opening LONG positions .
The script is NOT WELL-SUITED for situations with a significant market downturn, just like any other grid bots.
Strategy Settings
Lower/Upper Limit: Defines the trading range for the grid.
Start/End Time: Defines the backtesting period.
Grid Levels: Number of price steps within the range.
Take Profit (%): Auto = Grid Step Percent.

Dynamic DCA Envelope – Beta V1.1Dynamic DCA Envelope-Beta V1.1 is a preview version of a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy designed for trending or volatile markets.
-Long Positions Only
-Intended for Cryptocurrency, but can be used in any market
-1 and 4 hour timeframe
-Average Commissions 0.1%-0.3% per trade (Cryptocurrency)
What it does:
This strategy identifies buying opportunities when price closes below a dynamic envelope (based on EMA). After 3 consecutive closes below the lower envelope, the system arms a buy condition. A DCA buy-in is triggered when price bounces by a configurable percentage from the trailing low. The strategy supports up to 3 buy-ins, each equally sized, and closes the entire position at a fixed take profit or stop loss.
How it works:
-Entry logic is based on price deviation from an EMA envelope
-Waits for 3 closes below the envelope to detect weakness
-Uses bounce percentage from the lowest point to trigger each buy
-Includes cooldown logic between buys to avoid clustering
-All positions are closed when TP or SL is hit
How to use it:
-Use on trending assets with volatility (e.g., crypto, tech stocks)
-Adjust inputs to match asset behavior:
-EMA Length
-Envelope Offset %
-Bounce % (Trailing DCA)
-Take Profit / Stop Loss
-View strategy performance in the Strategy Tester tab
What’s unique:
Unlike most DCA scripts that immediately average down, this version includes:
-Trigger logic requiring multiple closes below trend
-Bounce-based entry to avoid catching a falling knife
-Cooldown resets to prevent overtrading
-A true entry–wait–buy–reset loop mimicking disciplined execution
*This is a beta version intended as a preview. A full Pro version is in development, which includes:
-SmartScaling logic
-Trailing take profit
-Multi-symbol scanning
-Backtest range limits
-Risk-adjusted filtering
3Commas DCA (asap)3Commas DCA (asap) – Automated DCA Bot Strategy
This strategy replicates the DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) "asap" logic from 3Commas, supporting both LONG and SHORT operations.
How it works:
Opens the first market order (Base Order) when there is no active deal.
Immediately places a series of Safety Orders (limit orders) at fixed price deviations from the base entry price. The number and size of safety orders can be configured.
When price moves against the position, safety orders are executed, averaging the entry price.
The deal is closed only when the total profit across all open trades reaches or exceeds the configured Target Profit (in %), at which point all positions are closed and all unfilled safety orders are canceled.
The process repeats for the next deals.
Features:
Configurable base order size, safety order size, number of safety orders, safety order volume scale, and price deviation.
Supports both LONG and SHORT modes.
Backtest range selection for strategy evaluation.
Visual labels, position lines, and detailed statistics table for analysis.
Inputs:
Base order size, safety order size, safety order count, safety order scale, price deviation, target profit, trading fee, price range filters, and more.
Best Practice:
Test thoroughly with historical data before using live. Adjust risk, volume, and parameters to suit your exchange and asset.
Risk Warning:
DCA strategies can amplify losses in trending markets. Use with caution and proper risk management.
Ticker Pulse Meter BasicPairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA located here:
and the Enhanced Stock Ticker with 50MA vs 200MA located here:
Description
The Ticker Pulse Meter Basic is a dynamic Pine Script v6 indicator designed to provide traders with a visual representation of a stock’s price position relative to its short-term and long-term ranges, enabling clear entry and exit signals for long-only trading strategies. By calculating three normalized metrics—Percent Above Long & Above Short, Percent Above Long & Below Short, and Percent Below Long & Below Short—this indicator offers a unique "pulse" of market sentiment, plotted as stacked area charts in a separate pane. With customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and signal plotting options, it empowers traders to identify optimal entry points and profit-taking levels. The indicator leverages Pine Script’s force_overlay feature to plot signals on either the main price chart or the indicator pane, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Key Features
Pulse Meter Metrics:
Computes three percentages based on short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) lookback periods:
Percent Above Long & Above Short: Measures price strength when above both short and long ranges (green area).
Percent Above Long & Below Short: Indicates mixed momentum (orange area).
Percent Below Long & Below Short: Signals weakness when below both ranges (red area).
Flexible Signal Plotting:
Toggle between plotting entry (blue dots) and exit (white dots) signals on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the indicator pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Entry/Exit Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the high threshold (default: 20%) and Percent Below Long & Below Short is below the low threshold (default: 40%).
Long Exit: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the profit-taking level (default: 95%).
Visual Enhancements:
Plots stacked area charts with semi-transparent colors (green, orange, red) for intuitive trend analysis.
Displays threshold lines for entry (high/low) and profit-taking levels.
Includes a ticker and timeframe table in the top-right corner for quick reference.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for long entry and exit signals, integrable with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Technical Innovation: Combines normalized price metrics with Pine Script v6’s force_overlay for seamless signal integration on the price chart or indicator pane.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate metrics, ensuring reliability.
Short-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)).
Long-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)).
Derived metrics:
pct_above_long_above_short = (pct_above_long * pct_above_short) * 100.
pct_above_long_below_short = (pct_above_long * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
pct_below_long_below_short = ((1 - pct_above_long) * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
Signal Plotting:
Entry signals (long_entry) use ta.crossover to detect when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short is below entryThresholdlow.
Exit signals (long_exit) use ta.crossover for pct_above_long_above_short crossing above profitTake.
Signals are plotted as tiny circles with force_overlay=true for main chart or standard plotting for the indicator pane.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating metrics only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and apply it to your chart.

Entry Thresholds: Modify high (default: 20%) and low (default: 40%) thresholds for entry conditions.
Profit Take Level: Set the exit threshold (default: 95%) for profit-taking.
Plot Signals on Main Chart: Check to display signals on the price chart; uncheck for the indicator pane.
Interpret Signals:
Long Entry: Blue dots indicate a strong bullish setup when price is high relative to both lookback ranges and weakness is low.
Long Exit: White dots signal profit-taking when strength reaches overbought levels.
Use the stacked area charts to assess trend strength and momentum.
Set Alerts:
Create alerts for Long Entry and Long Exit conditions using TradingView’s alert system.
Customize Visuals:
Adjust colors and thresholds via TradingView’s settings for better visibility.
The ticker table displays the symbol and timeframe in the top-right corner.
Example Use Cases
Swing Trading: Use entry signals to capture short-term bullish moves within a broader uptrend, exiting at profit-taking levels.
Trend Confirmation: Monitor the green area (Percent Above Long & Above Short) for sustained bullish momentum.
Market Sentiment Analysis: Use the stacked areas to gauge bullish vs. bearish sentiment across timeframes.
Notes
Testing: Backtest the indicator on your chosen market and timeframe to validate its effectiveness.
Compatibility: Built for Pine Script v6 and tested on TradingView as of June 20, 2025.
Limitations: Signals are long-only; adapt the script for short strategies if needed.
Enhancements: Consider adding a histogram for the difference between metrics or additional thresholds for nuanced trading.

DCA Investment Tracker Pro [tradeviZion]DCA Investment Tracker Pro: Educational DCA Analysis Tool
An educational indicator that helps analyze Dollar-Cost Averaging strategies by comparing actual performance with historical data calculations.
---
💡 Why I Created This Indicator
As someone who practices Dollar-Cost Averaging, I was frustrated with constantly switching between spreadsheets, calculators, and charts just to understand how my investments were really performing. I wanted to see everything in one place - my actual performance, what I should expect based on historical data, and most importantly, visualize where my strategy could take me over the long term .
What really motivated me was watching friends and family underestimate the incredible power of consistent investing. When Napoleon Bonaparte first learned about compound interest, he reportedly exclaimed "I wonder it has not swallowed the world" - and he was right! Yet most people can't visualize how their $500 monthly contributions today could become substantial wealth decades later.
Traditional DCA tracking tools exist, but they share similar limitations:
Require manual data entry and complex spreadsheets
Use fixed assumptions that don't reflect real market behavior
Can't show future projections overlaid on actual price charts
Lose the visual context of what's happening in the market
Make compound growth feel abstract rather than tangible
I wanted to create something different - a tool that automatically analyzes real market history, detects volatility periods, and shows you both current performance AND educational projections based on historical patterns right on your TradingView charts. As Warren Buffett said: "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." This tool helps you visualize your financial tree growing over time.
This isn't just another calculator - it's a visualization tool that makes the magic of compound growth impossible to ignore.

🔬 Pine Script Code Examples
Core DCA Calculations:
// Calculate total invested over time
months_elapsed = (year - start_year) * 12 + month - 1
total_invested = initial_investment + (monthly_contribution * months_elapsed)
// Compound growth formula for initial investment
theoretical_initial_growth = initial_investment * math.pow(1 + annual_return, years_elapsed)
// Future Value of Annuity for monthly contributions
monthly_rate = annual_return / 12
fv_contributions = monthly_contribution * ((math.pow(1 + monthly_rate, months_elapsed) - 1) / monthly_rate)
// Total expected value
theoretical_total = theoretical_initial_growth + fv_contributions
Volatility Detection Logic:
// Detect extreme years for volatility adjustment
extreme_years = 0
for i = 1 to historical_years
yearly_return = ((price_current / price_i_years_ago) - 1) * 100
if yearly_return > 100 or yearly_return < -50
extreme_years += 1
// Use median approach for high volatility stocks
high_volatility = (extreme_years / historical_years) > 0.2
calculated_return = high_volatility ? median_of_returns : standard_cagr
Performance Metrics:
// Calculate key performance indicators
absolute_gain = actual_value - total_invested
total_return_pct = (absolute_gain / total_invested) * 100
roi_initial = ((actual_value - initial_investment) / initial_investment) * 100
cagr = (math.pow(actual_value / initial_investment, 1 / years_elapsed) - 1) * 100

📊 Real-World Examples
See the indicator in action across different investment types:
Stable Index Investments:
AMEX:SPY (SPDR S&P 500) - Shows steady compound growth with standard CAGR calculations
Classic DCA success story: $60K initial + $500/month starting 2020. The indicator shows SPY's historical 10%+ returns, demonstrating how consistent broad market investing builds wealth over time. Notice the smooth theoretical growth line vs actual performance tracking.
MIL:VUAA (Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS) - Shows both data limitation and solution approaches
Data limitation example: VUAA shows "Manual (Auto Failed)" and "No Data" when default 10-year historical setting exceeds available data. The indicator gracefully falls back to manual percentage input while maintaining all DCA calculations and projections.
MIL:VUAA (Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS) - European ETF with successful 5-year auto calculation
Solution demonstration: By adjusting historical period to 5 years (matching available data), VUAA auto calculation works perfectly. Shows how users can optimize settings for newer assets. European market exposure with EUR denomination, demonstrating DCA effectiveness across different markets and currencies.
NYSE:BRK.B (Berkshire Hathaway) - Quality value investment with Warren Buffett's proven track record
Value investing approach: Berkshire Hathaway's legendary performance through DCA lens. The indicator demonstrates how quality companies compound wealth over decades. Lower volatility than tech stocks = standard CAGR calculations used.
High-Volatility Growth Stocks:
NASDAQ:NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) - Demonstrates volatility-adjusted calculations for extreme price swings
High-volatility example: NVIDIA's explosive AI boom creates extreme years that trigger volatility detection. The indicator automatically switches to "Median (High Vol): 50%" calculations for conservative projections, protecting against unrealistic future estimates based on outlier performance periods.
NASDAQ:TSLA (Tesla) - Shows how 10-year analysis can stabilize volatile tech stocks
Stable long-term growth: Despite Tesla's reputation for volatility, the 10-year historical analysis (34.8% CAGR) shows consistent enough performance that volatility detection doesn't trigger. Demonstrates how longer timeframes can smooth out extreme periods for more reliable projections.
NASDAQ:META (Meta Platforms) - Shows stable tech stock analysis using standard CAGR calculations
Tech stock with stable growth: Despite being a tech stock and experiencing the 2022 crash, META's 10-year history shows consistent enough performance (23.98% CAGR) that volatility detection doesn't trigger. The indicator uses standard CAGR calculations, demonstrating how not all tech stocks require conservative median adjustments.
Notice how the indicator automatically detects high-volatility periods and switches to median-based calculations for more conservative projections, while stable investments use standard CAGR methods.

SmartScale Envelope DCA This is a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) long strategy that buys when price dips below a moving average envelope and adds to the position in a stepwise, risk-controlled way. It uses up to 8 buy-ins, applies a cooldown between entries, and exits based on either a take profit from average entry price or a stop loss. Backtest range limits trades to the last 365 days for backtest control.
All input settings can and should be adjusted to the chart, as volatility in price action varies. Simply go into the inputs settings, and start from the top and move down to get better backtest results. Moving from the top down has been proven to give the best results. Then, move to properties and set your order size, pyramiding, and so on. It may be necessary to then fine tune your adjustments a second time to dial it in.
Works well on 1 hour time frames and in volatility.
Happy Trading!
DCA OptimizedMonthly or Daily DCA strategy, with adjustable capital allocation percentages at the beginning of each quarter (January, April, July, and October) as well as for the other months of the year. Capital allocation settings are also customizable for daily DCA.
The strategy consists of performing annual DCA, taking profits at the end of the year, specifically on December 31st of each year, and repeating the process the following year.
If the year ends with an unrealized loss on the total invested, hold the assets until December 31st, until the asset is in profit.
Purchases are made on the first day of each month, at the daily opening price. The same applies to monthly or daily DCA (daily opening price).
By default, it is recommended to invest twice as much at the beginning of each quarter (January/April/July/October) compared to other months of the year. This allows you to optimize the average acquisition price over the long term, thus maximizing profits and reducing potential unrealized losses.
Example: January/April/July/October > 12.5% of the capital / Other months of the year > 6.25% of the capital (Total over 12 months = 100%)
You can select/unselect the months of the year in which to invest as you wish to optimize your periodic preferences.
DCA StrategyThis strategy makes it easy for you to backtest and automate the DCA strategy based on 2 triggers:
Day of the week
Every X candles
This way you can set up your DCA strategy the way you like and automate on any exchange or even a DEX, which offers an API.
The strategy is auto selling on the last candle, otherwise you won't see any performance numbers because all positions will still be open (non conclusive).
Settings
Start Date & End Date
Use those dates to help you with your backtest period. It also helps when automating, to start at a specific time to mimic what you have already done on your own portfolio and thus be in sync in TV as well.
Capital to invest per trade
Set how capital to use per DCA buy signal. Hover over the tooltip to understand, which currency is used.
Close All on last candle
When backtesting, you must close open positions, otherwise the Strategy Tester won't show you any numbers. This is why the strategy automatically closes all positions on the last candle for your convenience (ON per default).
BUT, when automating, you cannot have this checked because it would sell all of your asset on every candle open. So turn this OFF when automating.
Use Day of Week Mode
This checkbox switches between the "Day of Week" mode or the "Every X Candles" mode.
Day of Week
Opens a long position at the start of the weekday you have set it to.
Hover over the tooltip to understand, which number to use for the day of the week you need.
Every X Candles
Opens a long position after every x candles. Always at the start of every such candle.
On the daily chart, this number represents "1 day", on the 1h chart, it's "1 hour" and so on.
Properties
Initial Capital
DCA has a special quirk and that is that it invests more and more and more funds the longer it runs. But TradingView takes the Initial Capital number to calculate Net Profit, thus the Initial Capital number has to grow with every additional dollar (money) that is being invested over time, otherwise the Net Profit number will be wrong.
Sadly PineScript does not allow to set the Initial Capital number dynamically. So you have to set it manually.
To that end, this strategy shows a Label on the last candle, which shows the Invested Capital. You must take that number and put it into the Initial Capital input and click Ok .
If you don't do this, your Net Profit Number will be totally wrong!
The label must show green .
If it shows red it means you need to change the Initial Capital number before looking at the performance numbers.
After every timeframe or settings change, you must adapt the Initial Capital, otherwise you will get wrong numbers.
BTC DCA RangeBTC DCA Range indicator is designed to help traders identify potential Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) opportunities for Bitcoin (BTC) based on deviations from a reference moving average (MA). It highlights price zones where BTC is trading significantly below a long-term moving average, suggesting potential undervaluation or buying opportunities.
The indicator dynamically adjusts the moving average length based on the selected chart timeframe, ensuring consistency across different timeframes (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly). It also allows users to set a custom deviation threshold to identify when the price is trading at a significant discount relative to the moving average.
Adjust the Reference MA Length and Deviation Threshold inputs to suit your trading strategy
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?
------------------------------
This script may be helpful if you are:
✅ Looking to automate your trading through 3Commas integration while maintaining full control of your assets
✅ Wanting to enhance 3Commas' standard DCA with market-adaptive features that consider:

✅ Looking for trading automation that remains easy to set up and use
Note: While this script provides trading automation, successful trading requires proper education, risk management, and regular performance monitoring. No automated tool can guarantee trading success or profits.
------------------------------
🔶 How it Works
------------------------------
The Altcoins DCA Scalper provides trading automation through:
Market Analysis
* Multi-timeframe trend analysis (1m to 1d) for market direction and entry validation
* Volatility assessment (1h, 4h, 24h) benchmarked against TOTAL3 (excluding Top10 Altcoins and Stablecoins)

* Current volatility class (low/medium/high) vs. overall Altcoins market
* Market trend strength
* Price action dynamics
Trading Execution
* Position opening aligned with detected market trends
* "Beast Mode" base order sizing that increases position size during strong trends
* Dynamic take-profit targets that automatically reduce after each safety order to increase the likelihood of positive exits
* Dynamic DCA with safety orders that can:
* Adapt timing based on volatility
* Scale order sizes based on market conditions
* Handle 30-50% drawdowns depending on volatility class
* Execute up to 6 safety orders per position
Risk Management
* Emergency exits during extreme market events:
* "Black Swan" protection for long positions
* "God-Candle" protection for short positions
* Configurable stop-loss with volatility-based placement
* Trend-switch management with automated position reversal

* Pre-configured settings optimized for most pairs
* Multiple customization options for experienced users
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.

Net Unrealized Profit Loss | JeffreyTimmermansNet Unrealized Profit Loss (NUPL)
The "Net Unrealized Profit Loss" (NUPL) indicator is a highly regarded tool for assessing Bitcoin investor sentiment by analyzing the relationship between Market Value and Realized Value. This Pine Script implementation, developed by Jeffrey Timmermans, includes additional features such as dynamic labels, alerts, and thresholds with color-coded bands, enhancing its usability for traders and analysts.
Core Concepts Behind NUPL
Market Value (MV):
Defined as the current Bitcoin price multiplied by the number of coins in circulation.
Equivalent to market capitalization in traditional finance.
Realized Value (RV):
Calculated by considering the price at which each Bitcoin last moved (e.g., transferred between wallets).
The average price of all these transactions is multiplied by the total coins in circulation.
Net Unrealized Profit Loss (NUPL):
Formula: NUPL = (Market Value − Realized Value) : Market Value × 100
Measures the proportion of paper profits or losses held by investors relative to the market cap.
Significance of NUPL:
Tracks investor sentiment over time.
A high NUPL value indicates that most investors are in profit, often signaling potential market overheating.
A low or negative NUPL suggests pessimism and undervaluation, which may precede market recovery.
How to View the Chart
The NUPL chart uses distinct percentage bands to delineate various market phases. These bands provide context for understanding investor sentiment and market stages:
Extreme Low Values (< 0%): Indicates widespread losses; the market may be near capitulation.
Neutral Value (0%): A balance between profit and loss; often signifies a transition phase.
Slightly High to High Values (> 0% to 50%): Increasing profits suggest growing optimism; early stages of bullish trends.
Extreme High Values (> 75%): Signals overheating; often corresponds to excessive greed, which may precede corrections.
The colored bands visually represent these stages, enabling traders to identify key turning points.
Features of the Script
Querying Data
The indicator uses data from two key sources:
Bitcoin Market Cap (MC1): GLASSNODE:BTC_MARKETCAP
Bitcoin Realized Cap (MCR): COINMETRICS:BTC_MARKETCAPREAL
These values are fetched using the request.security function to ensure daily accuracy, regardless of the chart's timeframe.
Threshold Calculation
The script computes NUPL values dynamically and compares them against historical lows:
Calculated using the ta.lowest function over a 1,000-bar lookback period.
The average of the historical low and the current NUPL value, providing a dynamic baseline.
Value Classification
NUPL is categorized into sentiment levels with corresponding weights:
< Low Threshold: 1 (Extreme Bearish)
Low to 0: 0.75 (Moderate Bearish)
0 to 25: 0.25 (Neutral to Slightly Bullish)
25 to 50: -0.25 (Moderate Bullish)
50 to 75 : -0.75 (Strong Bullish)
> 75: -1 (Extreme Bullish)
Visual Elements
NUPL Line Plot:
The NUPL line is plotted in orange for clear visibility.
Threshold Bands:
Horizontal thresholds ranging from -160 to 160 and are plotted, representing key sentiment levels. Bands are categorized as:
Extreme High/Low Values
Significant High/Low Values
Neutral Values
Fill Colors:
Red Shades (Bearish Sentiment): Above neutral levels.
Green Shades (Bullish Sentiment): Below neutral levels.
The opacity of fills decreases as sentiment moves from extreme to neutral values.
Dynamic Label:
A real-time label displays the current NUPL value and sentiment classification.
Positioned directly on the NUPL line for immediate insight.
Alerts:
The indicator includes two alerts for crossing key thresholds:
NUPL Above 0% Alert: Triggers when NUPL crosses above the neutral value, signaling a shift to positive sentiment.
NUPL Below 0% Alert: Triggers when NUPL crosses below the neutral value, indicating a shift to negative sentiment.
Alerts are configured with alert.freq_once_per_bar to avoid redundancy during intra-bar fluctuations.
Use Cases
Identifying Market Extremes:
Use NUPL levels to pinpoint moments of extreme greed or fear, which often precede market reversals.
Long-Term Strategy:
NUPL trends can assist strategic investors in deciding when to accumulate during pessimistic phases or take profits during euphoria.
Market Sentiment Analysis:
Provides a macro perspective on the prevailing investor sentiment, offering valuable context for trading decisions.
Conclusion
The Net Unrealized Profit Loss (NUPL) indicator combines advanced data processing with intuitive visualization to deliver actionable insights into Bitcoin market sentiment. With its real-time alerts, dynamic labels, and comprehensive banding system, this tool is indispensable for traders and investors seeking to understand and anticipate market movements based on sentiment analysis.

Relative Risk MetricOVERVIEW
The Relative Risk Metric is designed to provide a relative measure of an asset's price, within a specified range, over a log scale.
PURPOSE
Relative Position Assessment: Visualizes where the current price stands within a user-defined range, adjusted for log scale.
Logarithmic Transformation: Utilizes the natural log to account for a log scale of prices, offering a more accurate representation of relative positions.
Calculation: The indicator calculates a normalized value via the function Relative Price = / log(UpperBound) − log(LowerBound) . The result is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds to the lower bound and 1 corresponds to the upper bound on a log scale.
VISUALIZATION
The indicator plots three series:
Risk Metric - a plot of the risk metric value that’s computed from an asset's relative price so that it lies within a logarithmic range between 0.0 & 1.0.
Smoothed Risk Metric - a plot of the risk metric that’s been smoothed.
Entry/Exit - a scatter plot for identified entry and exit. Values are expressed as percent and are coded as red being exit and green being entity. E.g., a red dot at 0.02 implies exit 2% of the held asset. A green dot at 0.01 implies use 1% of a designated capital reserve.
USAGE
Risk Metric
The risk metric transformation function has several parameters. These control aspects such as decay, sensitivity, bounds and time offset.
Decay - Acts as an exponent multiplier and controls how quickly dynamic bounds change as a function of the bar_index.
Time Offset - provides a centering effect of the exponential transformation relative to the current bar_index.
Sensitivity - controls how sensitive to time the dynamic bound adjustments should be.
Baseline control - Serves as an additive offset for dynamic bounds computation which ensures that bounds never become too small or negative.
UpperBound - provides headroom to accomodate growth an assets price from the baseline. For example, an upperbound of 3.5 accommodates a 3.5x growth from the baseline value (e.g., $100 -> $350).
LowerBound - provides log scale compression such that the overall metric provides meaningful insights for prices well below the average whilst avoiding extreme scaling. A lowerbound of 0.25 corresponds to a price that is approx one quarter of a normalised baseline in a log context.
Weighted Entry/Exit
This feature provides a weighted system for identifying DCA entry and exit. This weighting mechanism adjusts the metric's interpretation to highlight conditions based on dynamic thresholds and user-defined parameters to identify high-probability zones for entry/exit actions and provide risk-adjusted insights.
Weighting Parameters
The weighting function supports fine-tuning of the computed weighted entry/exit values
Base: determines the foundational multiplier for weighting the entry/exit value. A higher base amplifies the weighting effect, making the weighted values more pronounced. It acts as a scaling factor to control the overall magnitude of the weighting.
Exponent: adjusts the curve of the weighting function. Higher exponent values increase sensitivity, emphasizing differences between risk metric values near the entry or exit thresholds. This creates a steeper gradient for the computed entry/exit value making it more responsive to subtle shifts in risk levels.
Cut Off: specifies the maximum percentage (expressed as a fraction of 1.0) that the weighted entry/exit value can reach. This cap ensures the metric remains within a meaningful range and avoids skewing
Exit condition: Defines a threshold for exit. When the risk metric is below the exit threshold (but above the entry threshold) then entry/exit is neutral.
Entry condition: Defines a threshold for entry. When the risk metric is above the entry threshold (but below the exit threshold) then entry/exit is neutral.
Weighting Behaviour
For entry conditions - value is more heavily weighted as the metric approaches the entry threshold, emphasizing lower risk levels.
For exit conditions - value is more heavily weighted as the metric nears the exit threshold, emphasizing increased risk levels.
USE-CASES
Identifying potential overbought or oversold conditions within the specified logarithmic range.
Assisting in assessing how the current price compares to historical price levels on a logarithmic scale.
Guiding decision-making processes by providing insights into the relative positioning of prices within a log context
CONSIDERATIONS
Validation: It's recommended that backtesting over historical data be done before acting on any identified entry/exit values.
User Discretion: This indicator focus on price risk. Consider other risk factors and general market conditions as well.
00 Averaging Down Backtest Strategy by RPAlawyer v21FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! THE CODE IS NOT YET FULLY DEVELOPED, BUT IT CAN PROVIDE INTERESTING DATA AND INSIGHTS IN ITS CURRENT STATE.
This strategy is an 'averaging down' backtester strategy. The goal of averaging/doubling down is to buy more of an asset at a lower price to reduce your average entry price.
This backtester code proves why you shouldn't do averaging down, but the code can be developed (and will be developed) further, and there might be settings even in its current form that prove that averaging down can be done effectively.
Different averaging down strategies exist:
- Linear/Fixed Amount: buy $1000 every time price drops 5%
- Grid Trading: Placing orders at price levels, often with increasing size, like $1000 at -5%, $2000 at -10%
- Martingale: doubling the position size with each new entry
- Reverse Martingale: decreasing position size as price falls: $4000, then $2000, then $1000
- Percentage-Based: position size based on % of remaining capital, like 10% of available funds at each level
- Dynamic/Adaptive: larger entries during high volatility, smaller during low
- Logarithmic: position sizes increase logarithmically as price drops
Unlike the above average costing strategies, it applies averaging down (I use DCA as a synonym) at a very strong trend reversal. So not at a certain predetermined percentage negative PNL % but at a trend reversal signaled by an indicator - hence it most closely resembles a dynamically moving grid DCA strategy.
Both entering the trade and averaging down assume a strong trend. The signals for trend detection are provided by an indicator that I published under the name '00 Parabolic SAR Trend Following Signals by RPAlawyer', but any indicator that generates numeric signals of 1 and -1 for buy and sell signals can be used.
The indicator must be connected to the strategy: in the strategy settings under 'External Source' you need to select '00 Parabolic SAR Trend Following Signals by RPAlawyer: Connector'. From this point, the strategy detects when the indicator generates buy and sell signals.
The strategy considers a strong trend when a buy signal appears above a very conservative ATR band, or a sell signal below the ATR band. The conservative ATR is chosen to filter ranging markets. This very conservative ATR setting has a default multiplier of 8 and length of 40. The multiplier can be increased up to 10, but there will be very few buy and sell signals at that level and DCA requirements will be very high. Trade entry and DCA occur at these strong trends. In the settings, the 'ATR Filter' setting determines the entry condition (e.g., ATR Filter multiplier of 9), and the 'DCA ATR' determines when DCA will happen (e.g., DCA ATR multiplier of 6).
The DCA levels and DCA amounts are determined as follows:
The first DCA occurs below the DCA Base Deviation% level (see settings, default 3%) which acts as a threshold. The thick green line indicates the long position avg price, and the thin red line below the green line indicates the 3% DCA threshold for long positions. The thick red line indicates the short position avg price, and the thin red line above the thick red line indicates the short position 3% DCA threshold. DCA size multiplier defines the DCA amount invested.
If the loss exceeds 3% AND a buy signal arrives below the lower ATR band for longs, or a sell signal arrives above the upper ATR band for shorts, then the first DCA will be executed. So the first DCA won't happen at 3%, rather 3% is a threshold where the additional condition is that the price must close above or below the ATR band (let's say the first DCA occured at 8%) – this is why the code resembles a dynamic grid strategy, where the grid moves such that alongside the first 3% threshold, a strong trend must also appear for DCA. At this point, the thick green/red line moves because the avg price is modified as a result of the DCA, and the thin red line indicating the next DCA level also moves. The next DCA level is determined by the first DCA level, meaning modified avg price plus an additional +8% + (3% * the Step Scale Multiplier in the settings). This next DCA level will be indicated by the modified thin red line, and the price must break through this level and again break through the ATR band for the second DCA to occur.
Since all this wasn't complicated enough, and I was always obsessed by the idea that when we're sitting in an underwater position for days, doing DCA and waiting for the price to correct, we can actually enter a short position on the other side, on which we can realize profit (if the broker allows taking hedge positions, Binance allows this in Europe).
This opposite position in this strategy can open from the point AFTER THE FIRST DCA OF THE BASE POSITION OCCURS. This base position first DCA actually indicates that the price has already moved against us significantly so time to earn some money on the other side. Breaking through the ATR band is also a condition for entry here, so the hedge position entry is not automatic, and the condition for further DCA is breaking through the DCA Base Deviation (default 3%) and breaking through the ATR band. So for the 'hedge' or rather opposite position, the entry and further DCA conditions are the same as for the base position. The hedge position avg price is indicated by a thick black line and the Next Hedge DCA Level is indicated by a thin black line.
The TPs are indicated by green labels for base positions and red labels for hedge positions.
No SL built into the strategy at this point but you are free to do your coding.
Summary data can be found in the upper right corner.
The fantastic trend reversal indicator Machine learning: Lorentzian Classification by jdehorty can be used as an external indicator, choose 'backtest stream' for the external source. The ATR Band multiplicators need to be reduced to 5-6 when using Lorentz.
The code can be further developed in several aspects, and as I write this, I already have a few ideas 😊

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.
