Position size in dollar cost average strategySTATIC DCA
Using the tradingview.com, an algorithm was generated that simulates the behavior of the DCA methodology. This algorithm simulates the purchase of 1000 USD on the 15th of each month, regardless of the bitcoin price. It is considered a static DCA, since the amount to be invested remains always fixed.
The inputs to the function are, the day number of the month in which the purchase is to be made, the start date of the simulation and the capital to be invested month by month. What the function does is to receive the value of the investment, and if the day entered in the function coincides with the current day, it will divide the invested capital by the price of the asset, obtaining a position size that accumulates in each purchase. With this data we can obtain the total invested capital, the net profit, as well as the average buying price.
DYNAMIC DCA
The dynamic DCA, bases its operation on the use of moving averages and standard deviations, in order to find the zones where the price has a lower value than the deviation under the mean. This condition can be considered as an accumulation zone.
The data were obtained in a one-week time window, using the security request method. Since purchases are made one every month, the daily time window generates many false signals, while the one-month time window generates few signals. The analysis is performed on data from 52 weeks equivalent to one year.
Subsequently we created an algorithm based on the ATR, for the selection of the position size, the fundamental characteristic of this development is that the algorithm will not invest the total of the capital destined to month to month. The amount of money to be invested will vary between 0 and 100%, in discrete values defined by the mean and standard deviation in the ATR calculation. Uninvested money will accumulate until the asset price enters the accumulation zone, where this capital will be released and used to accumulate as much of the asset as possible.
The function developed for the dynamic DCA receives the same inputs as the previous function, plus an extra condition and the variable resulting from the calculation of the position size.

ANALYSIS
In the analysis, we will consider ratios, such as cumulative position size, percentage net profit, invested amount and average buying price. The simulation of the results starts on 12/18/2017. For the analysis in all charts, the red line will represent the static DCA ratios, while the blue line will represent the dynamic DCA ratios.
Amount invested
At the end of this backtesting, the quantity invested is the same for each of the cases, however, the way the money enters the market is different. Money enters steadily and in the same amount in the static DCA, while in the dynamic DCA, there are months in which no purchases are made, or partial purchases are made. The remaining capital that accumulates and flows into the market, when bitcoin reaches its lowest price and enters accumulation zones.
Accumulated position size
It can be noted that the dynamic DCA strategy obtains a better result, accumulating a total of 6.62 bitcoins, 18% higher than the static DCA strategy.
Percentage net profit
The static DCA strategy in the last rally was approximately 40% lower in percentage return on invested capital than the dynamic DCA strategy.
Average buying price
In the initial part of the simulation the average buying price of bitcoin using the static DCA strategy was lower, however, as time went on, the dynamic DCA strategy obtained a better average buying price, with 15% cheaper.

CONCLUSIONS
The dynamic DCA strategy was more efficient in the use of investment resources.
- One of the main advantages of the dynamic DCA strategy is that it will allow us to enter the spot market even after it has passed its parabolic growth cycle. We will be able to accumulate bitcoin in the bearish regime, having our largest purchases in the accumulation zone.
- Due to these characteristics, the time in which we stay in negative returns is going to be shorter than with a DCA strategy.
- This algorithm can be tested on different assets, extrapolated to Python and by connecting via API, you can configure the automatic purchase of cryptocurrencies, which generates an accumulation of assets based on back testing, relatively superior to what several wallets and exchanges offer.
- The parameters for configuring the dynamic DCA strategy are quite basic and do not require professional knowledge, and the optimal configuration can be obtained by visualizing the results.
DCA
Wunder DCA BotThe bot is based on the DCA system.
1. DCA is the investment method in which you buy a certain portion of the asset after the determined price deviation.
2. For entry, we evaluate the maximum and minimum levels for a given period that you can adjust in the script. The bot enters when price rebound from the specified levels.
3. For the exit, the bot will use the take profit percentage that you will specify in settings.
It is also possible to choose how the take profit is calculated either from the average entry price or from the entry order (first order).
4. DCA uses the following settings:
- Base order Volume: Volume of your first order on entry signal
- Subsequent orders volume: The volume of all subsequent orders except the first
- DCA orders count: This parameter will determine how many entries your overall strategy will have. For example: If you will put 3, that will mean that including your initial position you will have 2 additional orders.
- DCA order price deviation:
This is the value in % which determines the deviation of the additional entries from the entry price. Example: If you go long and the price of the asset is 100$ and you put an order price deviation of 1% that will mean that the first additional entry will occur when the price will drop by 1%, and the second entry will be triggered when the overall price will drop by 2% (as the interval between the first and the second additional entry will be 1%).
- DCA Order Volume Multiplier:
This parameter will determine the amount that you put into each additional position. If this parameter is equal to 1 that means that each additional entry will be equal to the initial amount. The extra volume will be added to your position from the second DCA entry. Example: Your initial position was 10$ and your Volume Multiplier is set to 2. When you reach your 1st DCA target your additional order will have the same volume of 10$. When you reach your 2nd DCA target your additional order will be 20$ (previous position volume * multiplier). Your 3rd DCA target will place the order of 40$.
- DCA order price Deviation Multiplier:
This value will increase the price deviation between each additional entry. It is calculated as the price deviation multiplied by the deviation multiplier. For example: if you enter long at the price 100$ and have a price deviation of 1% with the price deviation multiplier of 2 that will mean that the first additional entry will occur when the price will drop to 99$ however the second will occur when the price will go to 97$. The third additional position will be entered at 94$
5. For full automation of the bot, you should set your comments to the input in the bot settings in the "LONG" and "SHORT" fields. You also need to create an alert signal and set a Webhook to send signals.
IMPORTANT!!!
1. Position calculation should take into account several factors: your deposit, leverage, the number of DCA orders, the distance to the last DCA order;
2. When choosing leverage, it is important to correctly calculate the possible drawdown. If you set a high leverage value, then liquidation awaits and the bot will not be able to take profits and will exit the position ahead of time;
3. The size of the position must be determined in accordance with all risks and take into account the size of your deposit;
4. This DCA Bot is able to earn consistently with the correct calculated money management.
DCA After Downtrend v2 (by BHD_Trade_Bot)The purpose of the strategy is to identify the end of a short-term downtrend . So that you can easily to DCA certain amount of money for each month.
ENTRY
The buy orders are placed on a monthly basis for assets at the end of a short-term downtrend:
- Each month condition: In 1-hour time frame, each month has 24 * 30 candles
- The end of short-term downtrend condition: use MACD for less delay
CLOSE
The sell orders are placed when:
- Is last bar
The strategy use $1000 and trading fee is 1.1% for each order.
Pro tip: The 1-hour time frame has the best results on average:
- Total spent: $1000 x 33 = $33,000
- Total profit: $65,578
Price change scalping short and long strategyPrice change scalping Short and Long strategy uses a rate of change momentum oscillator to calculate the percent change in price between a period of time. Rate of change calculation takes the current price and compares it to a price of "n" periods while the period of time can be defined by a user. The calculated rate of change value is then compared to the upper threshold and the lower threshold values to determine if a position should be opened. If the threshold is crossed and filtering conditions are met a strategy position will be triggered. Entry, take profit, and stop loss prices are calculated and displayed on the chart as well as positions directions. Once the entry price is crossed, a long or short position is created and once the take profit price is crossed, the stop loss price will begin to trail behind the price action using the close of the previous bar. Once the trailing stop price is crossed, the position is closed. If the entry price is not crossed and the price action crosses the stop level, the trade setup is cancelled. The strategy is enhanced by DCA algorithm which allows to average entry price with safety orders. The script also allows to use Martingale coefficient to increase averaging power

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

Crypto Force IndexIntroduction
The Crypto Force Index (CFI) indicator helps us understand the current strength and weakness of the price. It is very useful when used on high timeframes for investment purposes and not for short term trading.
To determine the strength and weakness of the price, a level grid based on the RSI indicator is used.
Based on the RSI value, red circles (oversold condition) and green circles (overbought condition) appear under the price candles. The more intense the color of the circles, the more that the current price is in an overbought or oversold condition.
The signal levels are all configurable to adapt the indicator across multiple instruments and markets.
The default configuration have been designed to obtain more accurate signals on Ethereum and Bitcoin, using the weekly timeframe.
Why Crypto Force Index?
The Crypto Force Index (CFI) is the consequence of my study of investments based on the accumulation plan. I wanted to demonstrate that I am improving the returns of the classic DCA ( dollar cost averaging ) and VA ( value averaging ).
After finding my own model of an accumulation plan, I decided to create the Crypto Force Index to help me visually enter the market.
The formulas of the indicator are very simple, but my studies confirm the power of this tool.
How are the signals to be interpreted?
The Crypto Force Index helps us to highlight the overbought and oversold areas, with the use of circles under the price of candles and with a thermometer inserted at the base of the graph, where all the phases of strength and weakness are highlighted.
As soon as the red circles start to appear on the chart, that may be a good time to enter LONG to the market and start accumulating. If the circles are green, we can consider decreasing the current exposure by selling part of your portfolio, or decide to stay flat.
I personally use these signals on the weekly timeframe, to decide to feed my accumulation plan at the beginning of each month.
I hope it can be of help to you! Please help me improve the Crypto Force Index! :)

Mean reversal QFL v3My aim is to make the bots trade as you would trading QFL manually and “by the book” or at least to my experience and understanding from the material out there of how you should plan a QFL trade.
Im absolutely not a pro trader, I have made my share of costly mistakes trying to be clever or Beeing impatient resulting in painful losses. QFL is we’re I’ve had consistently good results tough.
Is this where I have to say I’m not a financial advisor and all that? Well I’m not. As always Do your own research and backtest, backtest, backtest.
First: I believe no bot strategy are set and forget, while they can run unattended 80-90% of the time you're always going to find yourself in a situation where you will have to manually handle a bad deal. It would also make sense to be somewhat involved in the really good trades making the most out of them. That’s why understanding the strategy the bot Is using is really important, hence why I prefer QFL. It's an easy concept to understand, and proved to be a safe way of making steady profit in pretty much all market conditions if done right.
Some changes in how aggressive you are might be needed if you are the impatient kind of trader who needs to see a lot of deals happening. But it is an added risk. In those cases Luc would advise to start “nibbling” but that would be hard to implement in a bot but I will see if that’s something I can implement.
Same goes for going the more conservative route when market conditions calls for it.
QFL stands for Quickfingersluc, and sometimes it is referred to as the Base Strategy or Mean Reversals. Its main idea is about identifying the moment of panic selling and buying below the base level and utilizing Safety orders.
Base level or Support Level refers to the lowest price level that was reached before the moment the price started increasing again. At that level, you can notice that buyers of some cryptocurrencies make a strong reaction.
As a bit of a learning material i want to make a few points on important factors in trading using the QFL strategy:
• Identify strong bases
• Read the history of the chart
• No emotions
Trading QFL using a bot has it’s limitations:
· Some of the bases are questionable but im constantly trying to improve this
· The strategy don’t take into consideration chart history(success rate)*
· You need to follow a predefined (by you) buying ladder, hence not considering a particular coin's average price movement, which may vary quite a lot. This why I for now has limited the strategy to SIMPLE bots. So that unique alerts can be created for each pair.
· A set Take profit %, possibly making you miss out on higher profits(This is easy to change during a trade though), and no chance of selling in layers(This is coming soon).
1. Some of the bases are questionable
The strategy will start trades of bases that you wouldn’t consider being a strong base(or a base at all) when looking at the chart.
For those not as familiar with QFL. What is a base, and what qualifies as a strong base?
• A base is also called the Support Level, which is the lowest price level that was reached before the price started turning and increasing again.
• A strong base is recognized by a steep fall in price after breaking the base(Panic), followed by a big reaction pump.
• The reaction pump is the most important factor to say that it is a strong base.
• And also the last base, the one you are trading of is the one that counts
Tip: Look for V shapes on the chart, easy to spot when zoomed out.
2. The integrated signals don’t take into consideration chart history(success rate)*
How can you assess the success rate by looking at the chart?
After finding the bases based on the criterias from the 1st point. Looking at the, how many times did it respect the base after breaking it? 7/10, 8/10, 9/10 times? Great! Chances of the next trade also respecting the base is big, and I would consider raising the TP on that deal. Any lower than that I would keep a really close eye on the deal, or even consider closing the deal. And again remember the last base is the one that counts. If all the others are nice strong bases but that last one you are about to take a trade off is no good the base is invalidated so be cautious.
3. You need to follow a predefined (by you) buying ladder
Crypto is volatile, and there is a huge variation in price movements on all the coins.
Trading manually, looking at the chart gives you a good idea on how much a coin on avg. drops below base, and how big the following reaction is. This gives you an indication on how deep you need to set your layers, and where you can take profit.
Using the strategy you have the backtester to see how much max deviation has been in the past so that you can figure out what the optimal max deviation is.
4. A set Take profit %, possibly making you miss out on higher profits(This is easy to change during a trade though), and no chance of selling in layers.
Not going to say to much about this other than what I often do is:
When a bot has started a trade I usually take a look at the chart. If I like what I see, nice chart history, success rate and trading of a strong previous base etc, with the current base break resulting in a panic drop I will consider increasing the TP so that it will make more profit. This can be a bit risky but also very rewarding. Imagine filling all safeties and then selling just below base! Massive profits!! (Gotta be honest though, almost never stretch it that far with a bot though, but it is a possibility) .
If you have studied the chart and concluded that this particular trade has a 90% chance of success, there isn’t really any reason not to place TP just below base. This is where I would like to have the option of layering my sell orders as well so its something im working on implementing.
Trailing is an option in 3commas, but it’s slow to place orders making you miss a selling opportunity when the coin makes a sudden spike up.
ABOUT THIS STRATEGY
In this strategy we can also reverse the strategy and go short. But i must warn you that that is alot riskier.
QFL is meant to be used on higher TF's like 1hr, 2hr and 4hr. But this strategy also work well on lower Timeframes.
The script also simulates DCA strategy with parameters used in 3commas DCA bots for futures trading.
Experiment with parameters to find your trading setup.
Beware how large your total leveraged position is and how far can market go before you get liquidated!
Do that with the help of futures liquidation calculators you can find online!
Included:
An internal average price and profit calculating, instead of TV`s native one, which is subject to severe slippage.
A graphic interface, so levels are clearly visible and back-test analyzing made easier.
Long & Short direction of the strategy.

- Open the strategy settings
-Tweak the settings to to your liking.
-Make a SIMPLE bot in 3commas and use the same settings as you did in tradingview if you only want the strategy to send signals to open a deal and let 3commas handle the rest.
If you check safety orders, Take profit deal stop and Stop loss. The strategy will send all the orders to 3 commas. If that’s what you want set TP in 3commas to 50% set number of safety orders to 0 and keep stop loss unchecked.
- Insert bot details using the deal start condition message found in your 3commas bot.
- When happy, right click on the "..." next to the strategy name, then "Add alert'".
- Under "Condition", on the second line, chose "Any alert () function call". Add the webhook from 3commas( 3commas.io ), give it a name, use {{strategy.order.alert_message}} as a placeholder message and "create".
In the future this signal might make it to the 3commas marketplace. You can then subscribe to that signal where I have cherrypicked coins based on thorough backtesting and optimization.

Mean Reverse Grid Algorithm - The Quant ScienceMean Reverse Grid Algorithm - The Quant Science™ is a dynamic grid algorithm that follows the trend and run a mean reverting strategy on average percentage yield variation.
DESCRIPTION
Trades on different price levels of the grid, following the trend. The grid consists of 10 levels, 5 higher and 5 lower. The grids together create a channel, this channel represents the total percentage change where the algorithm works. The channel also represents the average change yields of the asset, identified during analysis with the "Yield Trend Indicator".
The algorithm can be set long or short.
1. Long algorithm: opens long positions with 20% of the capital every time the price crossunder a lower grid, for a maximum total of 5 simultaneous trades. Trades are closed each time the price crossover a higher grid.
2. Short algorithm: opens short positions with 20% of the capital every time the price crossover a higher grid, for a maximum total of 5 simultaneous trades. Trades are closed each time the price crossunder a lower grid.
USER INTERFACE SETTING
The user configures the percentage value of each grid from the user interface.
AUTO TRADING COMPLIANT
With the user interface, the trader can easily set up this algorithm for automatic trading. Automating it is very simple, activate the alert functions and enter the links generated by your broker.
BACKTESTING INCLUDED
With the user interface, the trader can adjust the backtesting period of the strategy before putting it live. You can analyze large periods such as years or months or focus on short-term periods.
NO LIMIT TIMEFRAME
This algorithm can be used on all timeframes and is ideal for lower timeframes.
GENERAL FEATURES
Multi-strategy: the algorithm can apply either the long strategy or the short strategy.
Built-in alerts: the algorithm contains alerts that can be customized from the user interface.
Integrated grid: the grid indicator is included.
Backtesting included: automatic backtesting of the strategy is generated based on the values set.

DCA Average Arbitrage - The Quant ScienceDCA Average Arbitrage - The Quant Science™ is a quantitative algorithm based on a DCA model that uses averaging to create a statistical arbitrage system.
DESCRIPTION
The algorithm can be set long or short.
1. Long algorithm: opens long positions with 100% of the capital every time the price deviates negatively for a certain percentage distance from the average.
2. Short algorithm: opens short positions with 100% of capital every time the price deviates positively for a certain percentage distance from the average.
The closing of positions depends on the parameters activated by the user. The user can set the closing on the reverse condition and/or add functions such as stop loss, take profit and closing after a certain bar period.
USER INTERFACE SETTING
The user chooses the long or short direction and sets the parameters for average as length, source and percent distance.

3C QFL Mean reversalWhat is QFL trading strategy?
QFL stands for Quickfingersluc, and sometimes it is referred to as the Base Strategy or Mean Reversals. Its main idea is about identifying the moment of panic selling and buying below the base level and utilizing Safety orders.
What is Base level or Support Level?
Base level or Support Level refers to the lowest price level that was reached before the moment the price started increasing again. At that level, you can notice that buyers of some cryptocurrencies make a strong reaction.
In this strategy we can also reverse the strategy and go short. But i must warn you that that is alot riskier.
QFL is meant to be used on higher TF's like 1hr, 2hr and 4hr. But this strategy also work well on lower Timeframes.
The script also simulates DCA strategy with parameters used in 3commas DCA bots for futures trading.
Experiment with parameters to find your trading setup.
Beware how large your total leveraged position is and how far can market go before you get liquidated!
Do that with the help of futures liquidation calculators you can find online!
Included:
An internal average price and profit calculating, instead of TV`s native one, which is subject to severe slippage.
A graphic interface, so levels are clearly visible and back-test analyzing made easier.
Long & Short direction of the strategy.

ATR alerts & backtestingThe Basics
Alert will trigger if the current (real time) price surpasses the high of the ATR of the previous bar. (can also be set for the Low of the ATR). Each time the follow up candle surpasses the high of the previous ATR, the background will be coloured orange. This makes back testing easier on the eye. This can be turned off.
- Colours can be changed.
- Can also set a color and alert when the current price surpasses the Low of the ATR of the previous bar.
- ATR distance can be changed.
- Can be used on different chart types.
- Can be used as entry or exits in combination with bots.
- Can display only ATR top or bottom or both.
Example
An alert will trigger if the price of the current bar surpasses the red dot (ATR) of the previous bar.
Alerts can be created on all timeframes, if this is within your Tradingview plan.

This works well as a baseline to your other existing strategies since buy and hold is just the simplest strategy available.
Cyatophilum 3Commas DCA Bot BacktesterAn indicator to backtest and automate 3Commas DCA Bots.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator allows you to replicate your bot settings and get backtest results from the Strategy Tester and also a backtest panel with additional information on the safety orders.
You can also create alerts for each of the strategy events.
█ HOW TO USE
Choose a symbol that corresponds to your bot pair and exchange.
Pick a chart time frame as small as possible, usually 1 minute. The timeframe should always be smaller or equal to the deal start conditions timeframes.
Always use regular candle type.
Configure your deal start condition . You can combine several technical indicators to trigger an entry using a AND logical gate.
Configure your profit target
Use the Take Profit feature to set a target in percentage of price. You can also make it trail.
There is also a Stop Loss feature that is turned off by default.
Configure your safety orders
Replicate the safety orders from your bot into the indicator inputs.
Check your backtest parameters
Make sure that the initial capital and order size make sense. Since it is a pyramiding strategy with safety orders, the sum of all deals should not be bigger than the initial capital.
In this example: Initial capital is 0.02 BTC, which around 600$. I used 1000$ to be safe.
If you use % equity as order size, please note that it will create compounding.
Check the fees, by default they are set to 0.1%.
I also recommend to set a slippage that corresponds to your exchange's spread.

█ ALERTS
The indicator is using the alert() calls: it only uses 1 alert slot to send order messages for each event (Long/Short entry, stop loss, take profit, safety order). This means free TV plans can create 1 complete strategy.
To set your alert messages, open the indicator settings and scroll to the bottom of the "inputs" tab.
Create your alert after you set the messages in the indicator settings, and make sure "Any alert() function call" is set in the alert option.
█ BACKTEST RESULTS
The backtest settings used in this snapshot are the following:
Initial Capital: 1000€
Order size: 0.003 BTC
Commission: 0.1 % per order
Slippage : 1 tick

Simple_PyramidingA simple Pyramiding / DCA Strategy. Everyday at a specified time a position is opened. The individual position is closed when a take profit is triggered. Optionally a stop loss can be activated, or the option to close the position at the and of the time frame. You can specify the max amount of open positions. The equity will be divided through the max amount of open positions.
This strategy is a result of an exploration into working with time sessions, pyramiding, for loops and possibilities to trigger individual take profits (profit) and stop loss levels (stop). This strategy is by no means a worked out and reliable strategy. Please feel free to experiment with the code in your indicators and strategies.
Krugman's Dynamic DCAThis script helps you create a DCA (dollar-cost averaging) strategy for your favorite markets and calculates the DCA value for each bar. This can be used to DCA daily, weekly, bi-weekly, etc.
Configuring the indicator:
- DCA Starting Price : the price you want to begin DCA'ing
- DCA Base Amount : the $ amount you will DCA when price is half of your starting price
- DCA Max Amount : the maximum amount you want to DCA regardless of how low price gets
The DCA scaling works exactly like the formula used to calculated the gain needed to recover from a given % loss. In this case it's calculated from the DCA Starting Price . The idea is to increase the DCA amount linearly with the increased upside potential.
[k4d] DCA SniperFrench text below / Texte en Français plus bas
TL;DR
DCA Sniper is an indicator that tells you the perfect time to do DCA, the bottoms areas are indicated by red bars, the buy signal is given when a yellow bar appears.
"DCA Sniper" aims to help you make DCA (Dollar Cost Average) smarter.
Instead of buying your cryptos at a regular rate, this script will send you an alert at an opportune moment when the prices are touching, or are close to, a bottom.
The script works on several time intervals, the smaller the interval the more signals you will get...
so you can try with several time slots and choose the one that gives you the best signals for your strategy.
How to use this indicator
The indicator scans the price evolution in real time and displays grey bars
When it detects a potential bottom, the bars become darker
When the bottom is near, the bars turn red
Finally, when a potential bottom is detected, a yellow bar is displayed => it's time to buy
Warning:
Since the indicator works in real time, a bar can change color as long as the current candle is not closed. A yellow bar may very well turn red and thus cancel the signal. So wait for the close before making a decision.
Settings
This version of the indicator has only two settings:
Use Candlesticks filter: If this box is checked, the script will try to eliminate false signals based on candlestick patterns.
Use LinReg filter: If this box is checked, the script uses the "LinReg length" value to apply a linear regression and filters out all bottoms that fall within a standard deviation of the linear regression.
Before using DCA Sniper
This indicator was not developed for trading, although it can give good potential entries.
If you use it for trading, please manage your risk well and share your feedback :)
====================================================================
Résumé
DCA Sniper est un indicateur qui vous indique le moment parfait pour faire du DCA, les zones de bottoms sont indiquée par des barres rouges, le signal d'achat est donné lorsqu'une barre jaune apparait.
"DCA Sniper" a pour objectif de vous aider à faire du DCA (Dollar Cost Average) plus intelligement
Au lieu d'acheter vos crypto à un rythme régulier, ce script va vous envoyer une alerte à un moment opportun ou les prix touchent, ou sont proches, d'un bottom.
Le script fonctionne sur plusieurs intervals horaires, plus l'interval est petit plus vous aurez des signaux ...
vous pouvez donc essayer avec plusieurs tranches horaires et choisir celle qui vous donnent les meilleurs signaux pour votre stratégie.
Comment utiliser cet indicateur
L'indicateur scan l'évolution des prix en temps réel et affiche des barres grises
Lorsqu'il détecte une zone de bottom potentiel, les barres deviennent plus foncées
Lorsque le bottom est proche les barres deviennent rouges
Enfin, lorsqu'un bottom potentiel est détecté, une barre jaune s'affiche => c'est le moment d'acheter
Attention
Puisque l'indicateur fonctionne en temps réel, une barre peut changer de couleur tant que la bougie actuelle n'est pas cloturée. Une barre jaune peut très bien devenir rouge et annule donc le signal. Il faut donc attendre la cloture avant de prendre une décision.
Réglages
Cette version de l'indicateur propose seulement deux réglages :
Use Candlesticks filter : Si cette case est cochée, le script va essayer d'éliminer des faux signaux en se basant sur des patterns de bougies.
Use LinReg filter : Si cette case est cochée, le script utilise la valeur "LinReg length" pour appliquer une regression linéaire et filtre tous les bottoms qui se retrouvent au sein d'une déviation standard de la régression linéaire.
Avant d'utiliser DCA Sniper
Cet indicateur n'a pas été développé pour faire du trading, bien qu'il puisse donner de bonnes entrées potentielles.

MicroStrategy MetricsA script showing all the key MSTR metrics. I will update the script every time degen Saylor sells some more office furniture to buy BTC.
All based around valuing MSTR, aside from its BTC holdings. I.e. the true market cap = enterprise value - BTC holdings. Hence, you're left with the value of the software business + any premium/discount decided by investors.
From this we can derive:
- BTC Holdings % of enterprise value
- Correlation to BTC (in this case we use CME futures...may change this)
- Equivalent Share Price (true market cap divided by shares outstanding)
- P/E Ratio (equivalent share price divided by quarterly EPS estimates x 4)
- Price to FCF Ratio (true market cap divided by FCF (ttm))
- Price to Revenue (^ but with total revenue (ttm))
