Fractal Breakout Trend Following StrategyOverview
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following Strategy is a trend-following system which utilizes the Willams Fractals and Alligator to execute the long trades on the fractal's breakouts which have a high probability to be the new uptrend phase beginning. This system also uses the normalized Average True Range indicator to filter trades after a large moves, because it's more likely to see the trend continuation after a consolidation period. Strategy can execute only long trades.
Unique Features
Trend and volatility filtering system: Strategy uses Williams Alligator to filter the counter-trend fractals breakouts and normalized Average True Range to avoid the trades after large moves, when volatility is high
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Flexible Risk Management: Users can choose the stop-loss percent (by default = 3%) for trades, but strategy also has the dynamic stop-loss level using down fractals.
Methodology
The strategy places stop order at the last valid fractal breakout level. Validity of this fractal is defined by the Williams Alligator indicator. If at the moment of time when price breaking the last fractal price is higher than Alligator's teeth line (8 period SMA shifted 5 bars in the future) this is a valid breakout. Moreover strategy has the additional volatility filtering system using normalized ATR. It calculates the average normalized ATR for last user-defined number of bars and if this value lower than the user-defined threshold value the long trade is executed.
When trade is opened, script places the stop loss at the price higher of two levels: user defined stop-loss from the position entry price or down fractal validation level. The down fractal is valid with the rule, opposite as the up fractal validation. Price shall break to the downside the last down fractal below the Willians Alligator's teeth line.
Strategy has no fixed take profit. Exit level changes with the down fractal validation level. If price is in strong uptrend trade is going to be active until last down fractal is not valid. Strategy closes trade when price hits the down fractal validation level.
Risk Management
The strategy employs a combined approach to risk management:
It allows positions to ride the trend as long as the price continues to move favorably, aiming to capture significant price movements. It features a user-defined stop-loss parameter to mitigate risks based on individual risk tolerance. By default, this stop-loss is set to a 3% drop from the entry point, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages Williams Fractals to open long trade when price has broken the key resistance level to the upside. This resistance level is the last up fractal and is shall be broken above the Williams Alligator's teeth line to be qualified as the valid breakout according to this strategy. The Alligator filtering increases the probability to avoid the false breakouts against the current trend.
Moreover strategy has an additional filter using Average True Range(ATR) indicator. If average value of ATR for the last user-defined number of bars is lower than user-defined threshold strategy can open the long trade according to open trade condition above. The logic here is following: we want to open trades after period of price consolidation inside the range because before and after a big move price is more likely to be in sideways, but we need a trend move to have a profit.
Another one important feature is how the exit condition is defined. On the one hand, strategy has the user-defined stop-loss (3% below the entry price by default). It's made to give users the opportunity to restrict their losses according to their risk-tolerance. On the other hand, strategy utilizes the dynamic exit level which is defined by down fractal activation. If we assume the breaking up fractal is the beginning of the uptrend, breaking down fractal can be the start of downtrend phase. We don't want to be in long trade if there is a high probability of reversal to the downside. This approach helps to not keep open trade if trend is not developing and hold it if price continues going up.

🟠 EXAMPLE OF MANUAL SETUP
For example, let me show you how it works on the chart. You select entry parameters, stop loss parameters, and take profit parameters for your trades, and the strategy automatically tests this setup on historical data, allowing you to see the results of this strategy.
In the screenshot above, the parameters were as follows:
Trade Entry: CHoCH OB (Beginning)
Stop Loss: Entry Block
Take Profit: Break of BOS
The indicator will automatically test all possible trades on the chart and display the results for this setup.
🟠 AUTO OPTIMIZATION SETTINGS
In the screenshot above, you can see the optimization table displaying various entry points, exits, and stop-loss settings, along with their historical performance results and other parameters. This feature allows you to identify trading setups that have shown the best historical outcomes.
This functionality will enhance your trading approach, providing you with valuable insights based on historical data. You’ll be aware of the Smart Money Concept settings that have historically worked best for any specific chart and timeframe.
Our indicator includes various optimization options designed to help you find the most effective settings based on historical data. There are 5 optimization modes, each offering unique benefits for every trader
Trend Entry - Optimization of the best settings for trend-following trades. The strategy will enter trades only in the direction of the trend. If the trend is upward, it will look for long entry points and vice versa.
Counter Trend Entry - Finding setups against the trend. If the trend is upward, the script will search for short entry points. This is the opposite of trend entry optimization.
Stop Loss - Identifying stop-loss points that showed the best historical performance for the specific setup you have configured. This helps in finding effective exit points to minimize losses.
Take Profit - Determining targets for the configured setup based on historical performance, helping to identify potentially profitable take profit levels.
Trailing Stop - Finding optimal percentages for the trailing stop function based on historical data, which can potentially increase the profit of your trades.
Ability to set parameters for auto-optimization within a specified range. For example, if you choose FixRR TP from 1 to 10, the indicator will automatically test all possible Risk Reward Take Profit variations from 1 to 10 and display the results for each parameter individually.
Ability to set initial deposit parameters, position commissions, and risk per trade as a fixed percentage or fixed amount. Additionally, you can set the maximum leverage for a trade.
There are times when the stop loss is very close to the entry point, and adhering to the risk per trade values set in the settings may not allow for such a loss in any situation. That’s why we added the ability to set the maximum possible leverage, allowing you to test your trading strategy even with very tight stop losses.
Duplicated Smart Money Structure settings from our Advanced SMC indicator that you can adjust to match your trading style flexibly. All these settings will be taken into account during the optimization process or when manually calculating settings.
Additionally, you can test your strategy based on higher timeframe order blocks. For example, you can test a strategy on a 1-minute chart while displaying order blocks from a 15-minute timeframe. The auto-optimizer will consider all these parameters, including higher timeframe order blocks, and will enter trades based on these order blocks.
Highly flexible dashboard and results optimization settings allow you to display the tables you need and sort results by six different criteria: Profit Factor, Profit, Winrate, Max Drawdown, Wins, and Trades. This enables you to find the exact setup you desire, based on these comprehensive data points.
🟠 ALERT CUSTOMIZATION
With this indicator, you can set up buy and sell alerts based on the test results, allowing you to create a comprehensive trading strategy. This feature enables you to receive real-time signals, making it a powerful tool for implementing your trading strategies.
🟠 STRATEGY PROPERTIES
For backtesting, we used realistic initial data for entering trades, such as:
Starting balance: $1000
Commission: 0.01%
Risk per trade: 1%
To ensure realistic data, we used the above settings. We offer two methods for calculating your order size, and in our case, we used a 1% risk per trade. Here’s what it means:
Risk per trade: This is the maximum loss from your deposit if the trade goes against you. The trade volume can change depending on your stop-loss distance from the entry point. Here’s the formula we use to calculate the possible volume for a single trade:
1. quantity = percentage_risk * balance / loss_per_1_contract (incl. fee)
Then, we calculate the maximum allowed volume based on the specified maximum leverage:
2. max_quantity = maxLeverage * balance / entry_price
3. If quantity < max_quantity, meaning the leverage is less than the maximum allowed, we keep quantity. If quantity > max_quantity, we use max_quantity (the maximum allowed volume according to the set leverage).
This way, depending on the stop-loss distance, the position size can vary and be up to 100% of your deposit, but the loss in each trade will not exceed the set percentage, which in our case is 1% for this backtest. This is a standard risk calculation method based on your stop-loss distance.
🔸 Statistical Significance of Trade Data
In our strategy, you may notice there weren’t enough trades to form statistically significant data. This is inherent to the Smart Money Concept (SMC) strategy, where the focus is not on the number of trades but rather on the risk-to-reward ratio per trade. In SMC strategies, it’s crucial to avoid taking numerous uncertain setups and instead perform a comprehensive analysis of the market situation.
Therefore, our strategy results show fewer than 100 trades. It’s important to understand that this small sample size isn’t statistically significant and shouldn’t be relied upon for strategy analysis. Backtesting with a small number of trades should not be used to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of a strategy.
🔸 Versatile Use Cases
The methods of using this indicator are numerous, ranging from identifying potentially the best-performing order blocks on the chart to creating a comprehensive trading strategy based on the data provided by our indicator. We believe that every trader will find a valuable application for this tool, enhancing their entry and exit points in trades.

○ Loss: Use the ML condition only, for example: Position will be exited and the exit signal will be allowed only when the loss exceeds the ML parameter
○ Profit: Use the MP condition only for example: Exits will only be allowed when the profit of the position exceeds the condition of the MP parameter
█ POSITION INVESTMENT
Determine the percentage of your trading budget you would like to use in each position based on the strategy's profit or loss.
• LINVB - Loss Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is in a loss.
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• LINV% - Loss Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 10% in loss, and a initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 50%, your investment will be 50% of $90, $45.
• PINVB - Profit Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is in profit.
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• PINV% - Profit Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 10% in profit, and an initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 100%, your investment will be 100% of $110, $110.
• XINVB - Custom Profit Investment Base: Choose which base to use to determine the investment percentage when the strategy is above a custom profit threshold (XT).
○ Equity: Use the equity as the base for percentage calculation.
○ Initial capital: Use the initial capital as the base for percentage calculation.
• XINV% - Custom Profit Investment Percentage: Set a percentage of the chosen investment base as the investment for a new position.
○ For example, when 100% in profit, exceeding the XT threshold of 50%, and an initial capital of $100, and the investment base is set to equity with a percentage of 50%, your investment will be 50% of $200, $100.
• XT% - Custom Profit Threshold: Determine how much profit triggers these custom profit investment settings.
• ELIB% - Entry Long Investment Base: Following previous settings, you can further restrict the investment according to the long trading direction.
○ For instance, if the previous calculation resulted in $45 to be used as an investment, and you've set the ELIB% to 50%, your long position will use 50% of $45, which is $22.5.
• ESIB% - Entry Short Investment Base: Following previous settings, you can further restrict the investment according to the short trading direction.
○ For example, if the previous calculation resulted in $45 to be used as an investment, and you've set the ESIB% to 50%, your short position will use 50% of $45, which is $22.5.
• RISK% - Risk Percentage:
○ Determine how much of the calculated position investment is at risk when the stop-loss is hit.
- For example, 1% of $45 represents a maximum loss of $0.45.
○ Risk percentage works together with the stop loss and the max leverage.
• MXLVG - Maximum Leverage:
○ Investigate the trading rules for your trading pair and use the maximum allowed amount of leverage.
○ To determine the number of contracts to be bought or sold, considering the stop loss and the specified risk percentage, the maximum leverage available will constrain the amount of leverage utilized to ensure that the maximum risk threshold is not exceeded. For instance, suppose the stop loss is set at 1%, and the risk percentage is defined as 10%. Initially, the calculated leverage to be used would be 10. However, if there is a maximum leverage cap set at 5, it would constrain the calculated leverage of 10 to adhere to the maximum limit of 5.
█ EXIT STOP LOSS
Determine the Stop Loss price based on your selected configuration.
As the stop loss is an integral part of the ordered contracts calculation used in conjunction with the Risk and Max leverage, you'll always need to provide a stop loss price.
• SLLB - Stop Loss Long Base: Choose a stop loss mode for calculating stop loss prices in long positions.
○ Risk: Determines the price using the Risk parameter (RISK%) and maximum leverage (MXLVG). In this case, SLLB% will not have any impact.

█ EXIT TAKE PROFIT
Determine the Take Profit price based on your selected configuration.
• TPLB - Take Profit Long Base: Choose a take profit mode for calculating take profit prices in long positions.
○ Reward: Determines the take profit price using the Risk parameter (RISK%) and the calculated Stop Loss price and the set reward percentage (TPLB%).
- For example: Risk 1%, Calculated Stop loss price: $90, Entry price: $100, Reward (TPLB%): 2%, will result in a take profit price on $120.
○ Price Entry + Offset: Calculates the take profit price based on a offset percentage (TPLB%) from the entry price of the position.
- For example: Entry price: $100, Offset (TPLB%): 2%, will result in a take profit price on $102.
○ Source: Computes the take profit price based on an external input from another indicator defined in TPLSRC.
- If this results in an invalid price, the calculation will revert to using the price entry + offset.
○ Source + Offset: Determines the take profit price based on a positive or negative offset percentage (TPLB%) from an external indicator inpuy defined in TPLSRC.
- If this results in an invalid price, the calculation will fall back to using the price entry + offset.
• TPLB% - Take Profit Long Base Percentage: Define an offset percentage that will be applied in the price entry + offset and source + offset take profit modes.
• TPLSRC - Take Profit Long Source: Choose to connect an external indicator as the source for take profit (of course only those which provide price values eg: bollinger bands, moving averages... but not oscillators).
• TPLT - Take Profit Long Trailing:
○ Fixed: The initial take profit will be kept and no trailing take profit will be applied.
○ Trail Profit: Takes into account all settings defined in TPLB and TPLB% and recalculates them with each candle.

○ Trail Profit till BE: Similar to trailing profit mode, but it stops trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Profit from BE: Similar to trailing profit mode, but it starts trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Price: Computes the trailing take profit price based on an offset percentage (TPLT%) from the closing price of the current candle.
- If an applicable take profit price is calculated, it will be set as the new take profit price.
○ Trail Price till BE: Similar to the Trail Price mode, but it stops trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Price from BE: Similar to Trail Price mode, but it starts trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
○ Trail Incr: Adapts the trailing take profit price based on the offset percentage (TPLT%). Each price change against your position will incrementally adapt the trailing take profit with TPLT%.
○ Trail Incr till BE: Similar to the Trail Incr mode, but it stops trailing when the take profit reaches the break-even point.
• TPLT% - Take Profit Long Trailing Percentage: This percentage serves as an offset or increment depending on your chosen trailing mode.

█ ENTRY INVESTMENT DISTRIBUTION
Based on your position investment calculation you can distribute the position investment accross the initial opening trade of the position (SIG%) or the follow up Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA%) or Break Out (BRO%) trades.
For example: SIG%: 10%, DCA%: 45%, BRO%: 45% and the calculated Position Investment is $100, then the initial trade will receive $10, DCA will receive $45, and BRO will receive $45 to work with. Disable BRO and or DCA by setting them to 0%. Keep in mind that the sum of SIG, BRO and DCA may not exceed 100%.
• SIG% - Initial order investment percentage based on the signal: The percentage of the position investment distributed over normal trades.
• DCA% - Dollar Cost Averaging investment percentage: The percentage of the position investment distributed to DCA trades.
• BRO% - Break Out investment percentage: The percentage of the position investment distributed to BRO trades.
█ ENTRY DCA
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) is a risk mitigation strategy where the allocated DCA% budget from the Entry Investment Distribution is distributed among x levels (DCA#) based on calculated prices (DPLM) and order sizes (DOSM), when prices move against your position.
• DCA# - Maximum DCA levels: Set the maximum number of DCA levels.
• DPLM - DCA Price Level Mode: Choose a price level mode that determines at which prices the additional purchases are distributed:
○ Linear: Entry prices are evenly spaced at regular intervals.
○ QuadIn: Entry prices are front-loaded, with more at the beginning and fewer later.
○ QuadOut: Entry prices are back-loaded, with fewer at the beginning and more later.
○ QuadInOut: Entry prices start front-loaded, then become back-loaded.
○ CubicIn: Similar to QuadIn but with a smoother front-loaded distribution.
○ CubicOut: Similar to QuadOut but with a smoother back-loaded distribution.
○ ExpoIn: Entry prices are exponentially increasing, starting small and growing.
○ ExpoOut: Entry prices are exponentially decreasing, starting large and reducing.
○ ExpoInOut: Entry prices start exponentially increasing, then decrease exponentially.
• DOSM - DCA Order Size Mode: Choose a DCA budget distribution mode for order sizes:
○ Linear: Order sizes are evenly spaced at regular intervals.
○ QuadIn: Order sizes are front-loaded, with larger orders at the beginning and smaller ones later.
○ QuadOut: Order sizes are back-loaded, with smaller orders at the beginning and larger ones later.
○ QuadInOut: Order sizes start front-loaded and transition to back-loaded.
○ CubicIn: Similar to QuadIn but with a smoother front-loaded distribution of order sizes.
○ CubicOut: Similar to QuadOut but with a smoother back-loaded distribution of order sizes.
○ ExpoIn: Order sizes exponentially increase, starting small and growing.
○ ExpoOut: Order sizes exponentially decrease, starting large and reducing.
○ ExpoInOut: Order sizes start exponentially increasing, then decrease exponentially.
For a visual representation of the price or order size distribution modes, refer to online easing curves.
█ ENTRY BRO
BRO (Break Out) is a risk mitigation strategy where the allocated BRO% budget from the Entry Investment Distribution is distributed among x levels (BRO#) based on calculated prices (BPLM) and order sizes (BOSM), when prices move in favor of your position.
• BRO# - Maximum BRO levels: Set the maximum number of BRO levels.
• BPLM - BRO Price Level Mode: Choose a price level mode that determines at which prices the additional purchases are distributed:
○ Distribution easing modes work similar as the DCA easing modes.
• BOSM - BRO Order Size Mode: Choose a BRO budget distribution mode for order sizes:
○ Distribution easing modes work similar as the DCA easing modes.
█ ORDER SETTINGS
Fine-tune accuracy to match your exchange's trading constraints, enhancing backtest precision with these settings, default settings are least restrictive for crypto trading pairs.
• MINP - Mininmum Position Notional Value: Exchange-defined minimum notional value for positions:
○ Calculated based on your exchange's rules and is the minimum total value your position must hold to meet their requirements It is calculated by multiplying Quantity with price and leverage.
○ It helps ensure your trades align with your exchange's standards.
• MAXP - Maximum Position Notional Value: Exchange-defined maximum notional value for positions:
○ Similar to MINP, this value is calculated based on your exchange's rules and represents the maximum total value allowed for your position.
• MINQ - Mininmum Order Quantity: Least permissible order quantity based on exchange rules:
○ This is the smallest quantity of an asset that your exchange allows you to trade in a single order.
• MAXQ - Maximum Order Quantity: Highest permissible order quantity according to exchange rules:
○ Opposite of MINQ, this is the largest quantity of an asset you can trade in a single order as defined by your exchange.
• DECP - Decimals in Order Price: Allowed decimal places in order prices as per exchange specifications:
○ This value specifies the number of decimal places you can use when specifying the price of an order.
• DECQ - Decimals in Order Quantity: Permitted decimal places in order quantities according to exchange specifications:
○ Similar to DECP, this value indicates the number of decimal places you can use when specifying the quantity of an asset in an order.
█ STRATEGY CONDITIONS
Specify when the strategy is permitted to execute trades.
• DATE: Enable the Date Range filter to restrict entries to a specific date range.
○ START: Set a start date and hour to commence trading.
○ END: Set an end date and hour to conclude trading within the defined range.
• IDO - Maximum Intraday Orders: Limit the number of orders the strategy can place within a single trading day. Upon reaching this limit, the strategy temporarily halts further entries for the day.
• DL% - Maximum Intraday Loss%: Set a threshold for the maximum allowable intraday loss as a percentage of equity. When exceeded, the strategy temporarily suspends trading for the day.
• CLD - Maximum Consecutive Loss Days: Define the maximum number of consecutive days the strategy can incur losses. Upon reaching this limit, the strategy halts trading and avoids new entries.
• DD% - Maximum Drawdown: Specify the maximum permissible drawdown as a percentage of equity. If this limit is met, the strategy halts trading and refrains from placing additional entries.
• TP% - Total Profit %: Establish a target for the total profit percentage the strategy aims to achieve. Once this target is attained, the strategy halts trading and refrains from initiating new entries.
• TL% - Total Loss %: Define a limit for the total loss percentage relative to the initial capital. If this limit is exceeded, the strategy discontinues trading and refrains from placing further entries.

█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with signals and a signal filter
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, monitor, or strategy .
Let's connect the Strategy - Plus to a connectable signal filter and connectable indicators :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load MA - Plus / Connectable
• Load Signal filter - Plus / Connectable
• Load Strategy - Plus / Connectable
2. Signal Filter Plus: Connect the MA - Plus to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the five input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→, 4→, 5→) and choose : MA - Plus / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter settings if needed
• The default filter mode for the trading direction is SWING, and is compatible with the default settings in the strategy and indicators.
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold is 'ABOVE' Threshold 1 (TH1) and Threshold 2 (TH2), both set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score is 1 point above the threshold.
5. Strategy Plus: Connect one of the strategy plus inputs to the signal filters signal connector in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter - Plus: Signal connector
6. Strateg Plus: Enable filter compatible directions
• As the default setting of the filter is SWING, we should also set the SM (Strategy mode) to SWING.
7. Strateg Plus: You're ready to start optimizing
• Dive into all parameters and start optimizing your backtesting results.
█ BENEFITS
• Adaptable Modular Design: Arrange indicators in diverse structures via direct or daisy chaining, allowing tailored configurations to align with your analysis approach.
• Streamlined Backtesting: Simplify the iterative process of testing and adjusting combinations, facilitating a smoother exploration of potential setups.
• Intuitive Interface: Navigate TradingView with added ease. Integrate desired indicators, adjust settings, and establish alerts without delving into complex code.
• Signal Weight Precision: Leverage granular weight allocation among signals, offering a deeper layer of customization in strategy formulation.
• Advanced Signal Filtering: Define entry and exit conditions with more clarity, granting an added layer of strategy precision.
• Clear Visual Feedback: Distinct visual signals and cues enhance the readability of charts, promoting informed decision-making.
• Standardized Defaults: Indicators are equipped with universally recognized preset settings, ensuring consistency in initial setups across different types like momentum or volatility.
• Reliability: Our indicators are meticulously developed to prevent repainting. We strictly adhere to TradingView's coding conventions, ensuring our code is both performant and clean.
█ COMPATIBLE INDICATORS
Each indicator that incorporates our open-source 'azLibConnector' library and adheres to our conventions can be effortlessly integrated and used as detailed above.
For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES, CLARIFICATIONS AND TIPS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.
• Point systems: The azLibConnector provides 500 points for each direction (EL: Enter long, XL: Exit long, ES: Enter short, XS: Exit short) Remember this cap when devising a point structure.
• Flow misconfiguration: In daisy chains the first indicator should always have a flow (⌥) setting of 'indicator only' while other indicator should have a flow (⌥) setting of 'both'.
• Hide attributes: As connectable indicators send through quite some information you'll notice all the arguments are taking up some screenwidth and cause some visual clutter. You can disable arguments in Chart Settings / Status line.
• Layout and abbreviations: To maintain a consistent structure, we use abbreviations for each input. While this may initially seem complex, you'll quickly become familiar with them. Each abbreviation is also explained in the inline tooltips.
• Inputs: Connecting a connectable indicator directly to the strategy delivers the raw signal without a weight threshold, meaning every signal will trigger a trade.
• Layout and Abbreviations: Abbreviations streamline structure and input identification. Although they may seem complex initially, inline tooltips provide explanations, facilitating quick acclimatization.
• Total Trade Limit Error & Date-Time Filter: For deep backtesting, be mindful of the total trade limit. Utilize the date-time filter to narrow the test scope and avoid TradingView order limits.
• Calculation Timeout: Encounter a timeout? Adjust any parameter slightly to restart the calculation process.
• Message Character Limit: To stay within message character limits, consider turning off certain features or setting some to 'once'.
• Direct Indicator-to-Strategy Connection: When connecting an indicator directly to a strategy without thresholds, the strategy will default to long if weights are equally assigned.
• Pyramid Enabling with DCA and BRO: Activate pyramid orders, enabling you to optimize your strategy during Dollar Cost Averaging and Break Out trades.
• Recalculate & Fill Orders Properties: Adjusting these default settings in strategy properties tab may lead to unexpected behavior when backtesting. Approach with caution.
• Optimized for Crypto: Our indicators have been optimized and tested primarily on cryptocurrency markets. Results in other markets may vary.
• Inline Tooltips Documentation: Detailed documentation and guidance are available via inline tooltips for immediate assistance.
• Strategy Settings Margin: Set margin to 1 to be able to apply leverage.
• Styling Panel: Explore the styling panel to disable labels or any other visual cues to reduce clutter on busy charts, enhancing visual clarity and personalization.
• Applying Leverage on Spot Markets: Ensure that maximum leverage on spot markets is configured to 1.
• Unrealistic Order Sizes: Verify that the order book can accommodate your backtested order sizes.

Self Optimizing ROC [Starbots]Self Optimizing Rate of Change (ROC) Strategy. (non-repainting)
Script constantly tests 15 different ROC parameter combinations for maximum profitability and trades based on the best performing combination.
You will notice that signal lines switch after a bar close sometimes, this is when the strategy optimizes to the better combination and change plots, strategy is dynamic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rate-of-Change (ROC) indicator, which is also referred to as Momentum, is a pure momentum oscillator that measures the percent change in price from one period to the next. The ROC calculation compares the current price with the price “n” periods ago. The plot forms an oscillator that fluctuates above and below the zero line as the rate of change moves from positive to negative. As a momentum oscillator, ROC signals include centerline crossovers, divergences, and overbought-oversold readings.
ROC = (Close - Close n periods ago) / (Close n periods ago) * 100
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The logic of self - optimizing:
This script is always backtesting 15 different combinations of ROC settings in the background and saves the net. profit gained for every single one of them, then strategy selects and use the best performing combination of settings currently available for you to trade.
It's recalculating on every bar close - if one of the parameters starts performing better than others - have a higher net profit gain (it's literally like running 15 backtests with different settings in the background) strategy switches to that parameter and continues trading like that until one of the other indicator parameters starts performing better again and switches to that settings.
We are optimizing our strategy based on 15 different 'lengths' or also called 'periods' of ROC.
Inputs (ROC period) : (you don't need to change them, you have a nice wide variety of periods)
🔴Roc (default=9) = 5
🟢Roc2 = 6
🔵Roc3 = 7
🟡Roc4 = 8
🟣Roc5 = 9
🟠Roc6 = 10
🔴Roc7 = 11
🟢Roc8 = 12
🔵Roc9 = 13
🟡Roc10 = 14
🟣Roc11 = 15
🟠Roc12 = 16
🟡Roc13 = 17
🟣Roc14 = 18
🟠Roc15 = 20
Backtester in the background works like this:
backtest ROC1 => save net. profit
backtest ROC2 => save net. profit ;
backtest ROC3 => save net. profit ;
..........
..........
backtest ROC15 => save net. profit ;
=>
It will backtest 15 different ROC parameters and save their profits.
Your strategy then trades based on the best performing (highest net.profit) ROC Setting currently available. It will check the calculations and backtest them on every new bar close - it's like running 15 strategies at time, and manually selecting the best performing one.
________________________________________________________________________
If you wish to use it as INDICATOR - turn on 'Recalculate after every tick' in Properties tab to have this script updating constantly and use it as a normal Indicator tool for manual trading.
-- Noise Filter - This will punish the tiny trades made by certain parameters and give more advantage to big average trades. It's basically normal fee calculation, it will deduct 0.xx % fee from every trade when optimizing. You usually want it to have the same number as your fees on exchange. Large number will choose big long swing trades, small number will prioritize small scalping trades.
-- Turn on ROC Combination Profits and spot the worst/best performing combination. You can change periods to get the best performance after checking this table stats.
-- Backtesting Range - backtest within your desired time window. Example: 'from 01 / 01 /2020 to 01 / 01 /2023'.
-- Optimizing range - you can decrease the amount of bars/data for optimizing script. This way you can keep it up to date to more recent market by selecting optimizing range to optimize it just from the recent 3-6months of data for example. Strategy before this selected range will normally trade (backtest) based on the first ROC period ( 'Roc(default=9)' Input) parameter in your menu if you have Optimizing Range turned on.
**** I recommend 'Optimizing Range' to be turned off, use max amount of available bars in your history for optimization script.
-- Strategy is trading on the bar close without repaint. You can trade Long-Sell or Long- Short. Alerts available, insert webhook messages.
-- Turn on Profit Calendar for better overview of how your strategy performs monthly/annualy
-- Recommended ROC periods: from 5 to 24.
-- Recommended Sources : close, hlc3, hlcc4
-- Recommended Chart Timeframe : 4h +
-- Notes window : add your custom comments here or save your webhook messages inside here
-- Trading Session: in a session, you have to specify the time range for every day. It will trade only within this window and close trades when it's out. Session from 9am to 5pm will look like that: 0900-1700 or 7am to 4:30pm 0700-1630. After the colon, you can specify days of the week for your trading session. 1234567 trading all days, 23456 – Monday to Friday ('1 is Sunday here'). 0000-0000:1234567 by default will trade every day nonstop. 00.00am to 00.00pm and 1234567 every day of the week for example - Cryptocurrencies.
This script is simple to use for any trader as it saves a lot of time for searching good parameters on your own. It's self-optimizing and adjusting to the markets on the go.
INFINITY ALGO🆕Meet the updated version of our flagship indicator, now it's INFINITY ALGO!
🏃🏻 QUICK START
In very simple terms, our indicator generates complex trading signals on your chart (buy/sell), including Entry Point, Take Profit levels, Stop Loss level
To start, you need to add our indicator to your chart , choose a timeframe (we recommend 13min,15min and 4h but you can try any, these only have the best results) and set up notifications (how to do it told below) and that's it, you can work with it even without changing the settings!
Of course, to improve the accuracy of signals you will have to choose the optimal settings of the script for each trading pair and timeframe (you can find a guide below)
📊 SIGNALS
This script will generate complex trading recommendations, both Long and Short (signals); signals include:
- Entry Point:
Calculated based on pivot levels with confirmation by EMA/SMA (you can select this in the settings); also bullish/bearish cup is checked to confirm the entry.
Additionally, in the settings you can enable Heiken Ashi calculation mode (it shows much better on some trading pairs).
Why do we mashup these components and how they work together?
- The main indicator in our script is pivot levels, it is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Auxiliary indicators (which you can switch on and off in the script settings) are EMA/SMA and Heiken Ashi. We have used pivot levels, which mark potential support and resistance zones based on previous price action. We have also used EMA/SMA that smooth out price fluctuations and show the direction of the trend. We have added an option to use Heiken Ashi that filters out noise and highlights the trend. We have also checked for bullish/bearish cup patterns, which are reversal patterns that indicate a change in momentum. By combining these indicators, we have created a more robust entry point that considers multiple factors such as price levels, trend, noise, and momentum.
- 6 Take Profit levels:
It is also possible to change in the settings (It is also possible to change the values for Short or Long positions separately), it will be fixed values in % (The default Take Profits for Long&Short are as follows: TP1-0.3%; TP2-1%; TP3-2%; TP4-3%; TP5-7.5%; TP6-16.5%)
- Stop Loss Level:
As with Take Profits, this is a fixed % value that you can customise to suit your risk management needs (It is also possible to change the values for Short or Long positions separately, by default is 4.5% for Long&Short positions)
*When trading on these signals, we strongly recommend that you exit the position in parts at each take profit or close your entire position at one particular take profit. Our script was designed specifically for exiting a position on take profits
⚙️ SETTINGS
Now let's talk about the settings of this script, which allow you to customise the signals quite a lot. In general, we recommend selecting the settings for each trading pair and timeframe separately, this will allow you to achieve better targets accuracy (the default settings are universal, you can trade with them without changing them if you want)
-> IMAGE <-
1. Period - minimum value of 2. Increasing this parameter will increase the accuracy of signals, but will reduce their number (accordingly, lowering the parameter will do the opposite). For the majority of trading pairs and timeframes the optimal period will be between 5 and 10 (the default value is 5).
2. Maximum Breakout length (in bars) - for most trading pairs you can set the value from 200 to 300 and it will be optimal. Below 200 is not recommended
3. T hreshold Rate % - this value also affects the accuracy and the number of signals - the higher this value is, the more often signals will be generated, but it can negatively affect the accuracy. The minimum value is 3, and the maximum value is 10. We recommend to try values in the range from 4 to 7 for most tickers
4. Minimum Number of tests - the number of level checks is required, we recommend to try 2, and only for some timeframes increase to 3
5. MA type & MA filter - The shorter the length of moving averages, the faster they react to trend changes, and show more local trends than global ones. If the length of MAs is longer, more global trends are shown. By default, the most optimal values are set.
By the way, you can ask us for a ready-made preset for any pair and we will be happy to help you!
📄 BACKTESTING
Now let's talk about how to properly test the settings and evaluate their effectiveness. Our script has a c ustom built-in backtester that shows statistics on the current trading pair and allows you to calculate the accuracy of each take profit target, as well as calculate values such as Gross profit/loss, net profit, and the ratio of initial deposit to profit. (you can enable/disable backtester "statistics" label in main settings)
In the main settings you can change the values for: initial deposit (Deposit $), trade size $ and leverage (by the way, it also affects the display of the label "Peak profit", which is calculated with this leverage)
-> IMAGE <-
Now let's look at the backtester - it shows detailed statistics for each Take Profit level, including: accuracy in % and number of trades; gross profit & loss; net profit in % and $ (based on selected settings); deposit to profit ratio in % and $.
Why did we choose such properties in the backtest for publication?
- Well, as the initial capital we took 5000$ and deposit 3% (150$) of the initial capital in each trade. For the fee was taken the value from the exchange Binance, which is 0.06% per trade (Taker + Maker, for a user without VIP on Binance and without taking into account additional fees such as funding, leverage fees, etc).
- Please also take a look at our inbuilt backtester ( IMAGE ) which counts the accuracy to each Take Profit. Also note that our inbuilt backtester does not take any fees into account. Pay attention to the last field "Deposit with Profit" it shows the value if you would close all positions at a certain target. For example, we can see that the most optimal is TP3 at these settings for this trading pair and timeframe, as the deposit to profit ratio will be +61.2%
- Also the script is more designed for swing and long term trading, so on most trading pairs you will be able to see statistics for 60-90 trades dataset
*disclaimer: please note that past results does not guarantee future performance! The accuracy of take profit targets in our backtester is calculated on past results, keep this in mind please

FluxFilter Trend Strategy [BITsPIP]Hello fellow traders, I'm excited to share with you the FluxFilter Trend Strategy, a trading approach I've developed for those interested in exploring trend-following strategies. My goal was to create something straightforward and accessible, so traders looking to refine their portfolios can easily integrate its features. By the end of this guide, I hope you'll have a solid grasp of how the FluxFilter Trend Strategy functions, appreciate its benefits, understand its potential drawbacks, and see how it might fit into various trading contexts.
I) Overview
The FluxFilter Trend Strategy is tailored to align with the market's long-term trend. It examines the price data from the previous year to gauge the market's overall trajectory by employing moving averages. Subsequently, within shorter timeframes, the strategy utilizes a combination of modified Supertrend, Hull Suite, and various trend-following and filtering techniques to generate buy or sell signals. Although its advanced take profit and stop loss mechanisms might initially present a learning curve, they are integral to the strategy's effectiveness. They are designed to secure gains by capturing prevailing trends and mitigating the impact of false reversal signals.
II) Deep Backtesting
Deep backtesting stands as a cornerstone in the development of trading strategies, offering a robust method for traders to assess the performance of their strategy against historical data. This process yields a retrospective view, illustrating how the strategy might have navigated through past market fluctuations, thereby shedding light on its potential robustness and areas for refinement. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that a strategy's performance can be influenced by a myriad of factors including market dynamics, the chosen timeframe, and the inherent attributes of the traded asset. Consequently, it's advisable to conduct thorough backtesting under various conditions to ascertain the strategy's reliability before applying it to actual trading scenarios.
III) Benefits
A primary advantage of the FluxFilter Trend Strategy is its proficiency in discerning genuine market trends from mere price fluctuations, thereby avoiding premature or uncertain trades. Unlike approaches that take high risks on speculative trades, this strategy prioritizes a high degree of confidence in the direction of the trade. It meticulously waits for a clear confirmation of the market trend. Once this certainty is established, the strategy promptly generates trade signals, ensuring that traders are positioned to capitalize on optimal market entry points without delay. This approach not only enhances the potential for profit but also aligns with a disciplined and methodical trading ethos.
IV) Applications
FluxFilter Trend Strategy can be applied across various timeframes, with a particular efficacy in those under 15 minutes. Its adaptable framework means it can be customized to cater to a variety of asset classes, encompassing stocks, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies. Initially, the strategy was specifically calibrated for low-volatile cryptocurrencies, as reflected in the default settings for stop loss and take profit values. It's important to recognize that the unique volatility and trend patterns of your selected market necessitate careful adjustments to these parameters. This fine-tuning of profit targets and stop loss thresholds is crucial for aligning the strategy with the specific dynamics of your chosen market, which I will discuss shortly.
V) Strategy's Logic
1. Trend Identification: My conviction lies in the power of trend trading to yield long-term gains. Central to the FluxFilter Trend Strategy is the Hull Suite indicator, a tool developed by InSilico, serving as one of the confirmation indicators. This indicator acts as a compass for trend direction; a price residing above the Hull Suite line signals an uptrend, potentially marking an entry point for a buy position or confirming it. In contrast, a price positioned below this line suggests a downtrend, potentially indicating a strategic moment to sell or confirming the sell.
2. Noise Reduction: The financial markets are known for their 'noise'—short-lived price movements that can obscure the true market direction. The FluxFilter Trend Strategy is designed to sift through this noise, thereby facilitating more lucid and informed trading decisions. It employs a set of straightforward yet innovative techniques to single out significant misleading fluctuations. This is achieved by analyzing recent bars to spot bars with unusually large bodies, which often represent misleading market noise.
3. Risk Management: A key facet of the strategy is its emphasis on pragmatic risk management. Traders are empowered to establish practical stop-loss and take-profit levels, tailoring these crucial parameters to the specific market they are engaging in. This customization is instrumental in optimizing long-term profitability, ensuring that the strategy adapts fluidly to the unique characteristics and volatility patterns of different trading environments.
VI) Strategy's Input Settings and Default Values
1. Modified Supertrend
i. Factor: Serving as a multiplier in the Average True Range (ATR) calculation, this parameter adjusts the distance of the Supertrend line relative to the price chart. Elevating the factor value widens the gap between the Supertrend line and price, offering a more conservative stance. On the flip side, diminishing the factor value pulls the Supertrend line closer to the price action, heightening its sensitivity. While the preset value is 1, you have the flexibility to modify this to suit your trading approach.
ii. ATR Length: This defines the count of bars that are incorporated into the ATR computation, directly influencing the Supertrend's adaptability to market changes. With a default setting of 30 bars, it strikes a balance, smoothing over short-term fluctuations while maintaining a meaningful sensitivity to market trends. Adjusting this parameter allows you to tailor the indicator's responsiveness to suit your trading strategy, considering the volatility and behavioral patterns of the asset you are trading.
2. Hull Suite
i. Hull Suite Length: Designed for capturing long-term trends, the Hull Suite Length is configured at 1000. Functioning comparably to moving averages, the Hull Suite features upper and lower bands, though these are not employed in our current strategy.
ii. Length Multiplier: It's advisable to maintain a minimal value for the Length Multiplier, prioritizing the optimization of the Hull Suite Length. Presently, it is set to 1.
3. Filtering Indicators
i. Fluctuation Filtering Percentage: It's advisable to set this parameter to ten times the size of the average bar in your specific market, as this helps effectively mitigate the impact of market fluctuations. While the initial default is 0.4(%), based on the BTCUSDT market, it's crucial to adjust this figure to align with the characteristics of different assets or markets you're trading in.
ii. Fluctuation Filtering Bars: This parameter designates the count of preceding bars to consider when assessing market fluctuations. It's fully customizable, allowing you to tailor it based on your market insights. The preset default is 3, a balance chosen to minimize susceptibility to potentially misleading signals.
iii. Trend Confirmation Percentage: This metric is pivotal for verifying the viability of a trend post-entry. If the trade doesn't achieve this percentage in profit, it indicates a deviation from the expected trend. Under such circumstances, it may be prudent to exit the trade prematurely rather than awaiting the stop-loss trigger. It's recommended to set this parameter at half the size of the average candle body for the market you're analyzing. The initial default is set at 0.2(%).
4. StopLoss and TakeProfit
i. StopLoss and TakeProfit Settings: Two distinct approaches are available. Semi-Automatic StopLoss/TakeProfit Setting and Manual StopLoss/TakeProfit Setting. The Semi-Automatic mode streamlines the process by allowing you to input values for a 5-minute timeframe, subsequently auto-adjusting these values across various timeframes, both lower and higher. Conversely, the Manual mode offers full control, enabling you to meticulously define TakeProfit values for each individual timeframe.
ii. TakeProfit Threshold # and TakeProfit Value #: Imagine this mechanism as an ascending staircase. Each step represents a range, with the lower boundary (TakeProfit Value) designed to close the trade upon being reached, and the upper boundary (TakeProfit Threshold) upon being hit, propelling the trade to the next level, and forming a new range. This stair-stepping approach enhances risk management and has the potential to increase profitability. The pre-set configurations are tailored for volatile markets, such as BTCUSDT. It's advisable to devote time to tailoring these settings to your specific market, aiming to achieve optimal results based on backtesting.
iii. StopLoss Value: In line with its name, this value marks the limit of loss you're prepared to accept should the market trend go against your expectations. It's crucial to note that once your asset reaches the first TakeProfit range, the initial StopLoss value becomes obsolete, supplanted by the first TakeProfit Value. The default StopLoss value is pegged at 1.8(%), a figure worth considering in your trading strategy.
VII) Entry Conditions
The principal element that triggers the signal is the Modified Supertrend. Additional indicators serve as confirmatory tools. Nonetheless, to refine your strategy effectively, it's crucial to fine-tune the parameters. This involves adjusting input variables such as take profit levels, threshold parameters, and the filtering values discussed previously.
VIII) Exit Conditions
The strategy stipulates exit conditions primarily governed by stop loss and take profit parameters. On infrequent occasions, if the trend lacks confirmation post-entry, the strategy mandates an exit upon the issuance of a reverse signal (whether confirmed or unconfirmed) by the strategy itself.
Good Luck!!

2Mars - MA / BB / SuperTrend
The 2Mars strategy is a trading approach that aims to improve trading efficiency by incorporating several simple order opening tactics. These tactics include moving average crossovers, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend.
Entering a Position with the 2Mars Strategy:
Moving Average Crossover: This method considers the crossing of moving averages as a signal to enter a position.
Price Crossing Bollinger Bands: If the price crosses either the upper or lower Bollinger Band, it is seen as a signal to enter a position.
Price Crossing Moving Average: If the price crosses the moving average, it is also considered a signal to enter a position.
SuperTrend and Bars confirm:
The SuperTrend indicator is used to provide additional confirmation for entering positions and setting stop loss levels. "Bars confirm" is used only for entry to positions.
Moving Average Crossover Strategy:
A moving average crossover refers to the point on a chart where there is a crossover of the signal or fast moving average, above or below the basis or slow moving average. This strategy also uses moving averages for additional orders #3.
Basis Moving Average Length: Ratio * Multiplier
Signal Moving Average Length: Multiplier
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands consist of three bands: an upper band, a lower band, and a basis moving average. However, the 2Mars strategy incorporates multiple upper and lower levels for position entry and take profit.
Basis +/- StdDev * 0.618
Basis +/- StdDev * 1.618
Basis +/- StdDev * 2.618
Additional Orders:
Additional Order #1 and #2: closing price crosses above or below the Bollinger Bands.
Additional Order #3: closing price crosses above or below the basis or signal moving average.
Take Profit:
The strategy includes three levels for taking profits, which are based on the Bollinger Bands. Additionally, a percentage of the position can be chosen to close long or short positions.
Limit Orders:
The strategy allows for entering a position using a limit order. The calculation for the limit order involves the Average True Range (ATR) for a specific period.
For long positions: Low price - ATR * Multiplier
For short positions: High price + ATR * Multiplier
Stop Loss:
To manage risk, the strategy recommends using stop loss options. The stop loss is updated with each entry order and take-profit level 3. When using the SuperTrend Confirmation, the stop loss requires confirmation of a trend change. It allows for flexible adjustment of the stop loss when the trend changes.
There are three options for setting the stop loss:
1. ATR (Average True Range):
For long positions: Low price - ATR * Long multiplier
For short positions: High price + ATR * Short multiplier
2. SuperTrend + ATR:
For long positions: SuperTrend - ATR * Long multiplier
For short positions: SuperTrend + ATR * Short multiplier
3. StdDev:
For long positions: StdDev - ATR * Long multiplier
For short positions: StdDev + ATR * Short multiplier
Flexible Stop Loss:
There is also a flexible stop loss option for the ATR and StdDev methods. It is triggered when the SuperTrend or moving average trend changes unfavorably.
For long positions: Stop-loss price + (ATR * Long multiplier) * Multiplier
For short positions: Stop-loss price - (ATR * Short multiplier) * Multiplier
How configure:
Disable SuperTrend, take profit, stop loss, additional orders and begin setting up a strategy.
Pick soucre data
Number of bars for confirm
Pick up the ratio of the base moving average and the signal moving average.
Set up a SuperTrend
Time for set up of the Bollinger Bands and the take profit
And finaly set up of stop loss and limit orders

Trend Confirmation StrategyThe profitability and uniqueness of a trading strategy depend on various factors including market conditions, risk management, and the strategy's ability to capitalize on price movements. I'll describe the strategy provided and highlight its potential benefits and differences compared to other strategies:
Strategy Overview:
The provided strategy combines three technical indicators: Supertrend, MACD, and VWAP. It aims to identify potential entry and exit points by confirming trend direction and considering the proximity to the VWAP level. The strategy also incorporates stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms, as well as a trailing stop.
Unique Aspects and Potential Benefits:
Trend Confirmation: The strategy uses both Supertrend and MACD to confirm the trend direction. This dual confirmation can increase the likelihood of accurate trend identification and filter out false signals.
VWAP Confirmation: The strategy considers the proximity of the price to the VWAP level. This dynamic level can act as a support or resistance and provide additional context for entry decisions.
Adaptive Stop Loss: The strategy sets a stop-loss range, which helps provide some tolerance for minor price fluctuations. This adaptive approach considers market volatility and helps prevent premature stop-loss triggers.
Trailing Stop: The strategy incorporates a trailing stop mechanism to lock in profits as the trade moves in the desired direction. This can potentially enhance profitability during strong trends.
Partial Profit Booking: While not explicitly implemented in the provided code, you could consider booking partial profits when the MACD shows a crossover in the opposite direction. This aspect could help secure gains while still keeping exposure to potential further price movements.
Key Differences from Other Strategies:
Dual Indicator Confirmation: The combination of Supertrend and MACD for trend confirmation is a unique aspect of this strategy. It adds an extra layer of filtering to enhance the accuracy of entry signals.
Dynamic VWAP: Incorporating the VWAP level into the decision-making process adds a dynamic element to the strategy. VWAP is often used by institutional traders, and its inclusion can provide insights into the market sentiment.
Adaptive Stop Loss and Trailing: The strategy's use of an adaptive stop-loss range and a trailing stop can help manage risk and protect profits more effectively during changing market conditions.
Partial Profit Booking: The suggestion to consider partial profit booking upon MACD crossovers in the opposite direction is a practical approach to secure gains while staying in the trade.
Caution and Considerations:
Backtesting: Before deploying any strategy in real trading, it's crucial to thoroughly backtest it on historical data to understand its performance under various market conditions.
Risk Management: While the strategy has built-in risk management mechanisms, it's essential to carefully manage position sizes and overall portfolio risk.
Market Conditions: No strategy works well in all market conditions. It's important to be flexible and adjust the strategy or refrain from trading during particularly volatile or unpredictable periods.
Continuous Monitoring: Even though the strategy includes automated components, continuous monitoring of the trades and market conditions is necessary.
Adaptability: Markets can change over time. Traders need to be prepared to adapt the strategy as necessary to stay aligned with evolving market dynamics.

Slight Swing Momentum Strategy.Introduction:
The Swing Momentum Strategy is a quantitative trading strategy designed to capture mid-term opportunities in the financial markets by combining swing trading principles with momentum indicators. It utilizes a combination of technical indicators, including moving averages, crossover signals, and volume analysis, to generate buy and sell signals. The strategy aims to identify market trends and capitalize on price momentum for profit generation.
Highlights:
The strategy offers several key highlights that make it unique and potentially attractive to traders:
Swing Trading with Momentum: The strategy combines the principles of swing trading, which aim to capture short-to-medium-term price swings, with momentum indicators that help identify strong price trends and potential breakout opportunities.
Technical Indicator Optimization: The strategy utilizes a selection of optimized technical indicators, including moving averages and crossover signals, to filter out the noise and focus on high-probability trading setups. This optimization enhances the strategy's ability to identify favourable entry and exit points.
Risk Management: The strategy incorporates risk management techniques, such as position sizing based on equity and dynamic stop loss levels, to manage risk exposure and protect capital. This helps to minimize drawdowns and preserve profits.
Buy Condition:
The buy condition in the strategy is determined by a combination of factors, including A1, A2, A3, XG, and weeklySlope. Let's break it down:
A1 Condition: The A1 condition checks for specific price relationships. It verifies that the ratio of the highest price to the closing price is less than 1.03, the ratio of the opening price to the lowest price is less than 1.03, and the ratio of the highest price to the previous day's closing price is greater than 1.06. This condition looks for a specific pattern indicating potential bullish momentum.
A2 Condition: The A2 condition checks for price relationships related to the closing price. It verifies that the ratio of the closing price to the opening price is greater than 1.05 or that the ratio of the closing price to the previous day's closing price is greater than 1.05. This condition looks for signs of upward price movement and momentum.
A3 Condition: The A3 condition focuses on volume. It checks if the current volume crosses above the highest volume over the last 60 periods. This condition aims to identify increased buying interest and potentially confirms the strength of the potential upward price movement.
XG Condition: The XG condition combines the A1 and A2 conditions and checks if they are true for both the current and previous bars. It also verifies that the ratio of the closing price to the 5-period EMA crosses above the 9-period SMA of the same ratio. This condition helps identify potential buy signals when multiple factors align, indicating a strong bullish momentum and potential entry point.
Weekly Trend Factor: The weekly slope condition calculates the slope of the 50-period SMA over a weekly timeframe. It checks if the slope is positive, indicating an overall upward trend on a weekly basis. This condition provides additional confirmation that the stock is in an upward trend.
When all of these conditions align, the buy condition is triggered, indicating a favourable time to enter a long position.
Sell Condition:
The sell condition is relatively straightforward in the strategy:
Sell Signal: The sell condition simply checks if the closing price crosses below the 10-period EMA. When this condition is met, it indicates a potential reversal or weakening of the upward price momentum, and a sell signal is generated.
Backtest Outcome:
The strategy was backtested over the period from January 22nd, 1999 to May 3rd, 2023, using daily candlestick charts for the NASDAQ: NVDA. The strategy used an initial capital of 1,000,000 USD, The order quantity is defined as 10% of the equity. The strategy allows for pyramiding with 1 order, and the transaction fee is set at 0.03% per trade. Here are the key outcomes of the backtest:
Net Profit: 539,595.84 USD, representing a return of 53.96%.
Percent Profitable: 48.82%
Total Closed Trades: 127
Profit Factor: 2.331
Max Drawdown: 68,422.70 USD
Average Trade: 4,248.79 USD
Average Number of Bars in Trades: 11, indicating the average duration of the trades.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Swing Momentum Strategy is a quantitative trading approach that combines swing trading principles with momentum indicators to identify and capture mid term trading opportunities. The strategy has demonstrated promising results during backtesting, including a significant net profit and a favourable profit factor.
Seer's HutThis is a strategy based on Exponential Moving Averages or Volume Weighted Moving Averages against Adaptive fib resistance / support level and profit percentage which can be definetly defined by user and targeting small profits(profits will be raised by leverages).
In this strategy, there are predefined values which are collected one by one with statistical background and backtests. This gives an advantage to see which ratios are working better for each symbol. Also this statistics are re-evaluated monthly and if there is a need they are going to be changed with the help of libraries. Also IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE IN DAILY INTERVAL GRAPHICS!!!!
When we deep dive to strategy, it is based on profit percentages. it is similar to the MOST system. MOST only changes the way with default value of %2. But this hardcoded strategy is not working well with each Symbol.
So this is the point where DC and ADR Statistics are involved.
For Ex. while BTC is suits well with %2, it does not do wonders for RSR or RUNE which is 4-5% for each.
There is 3 options for setting the statistical usage of this indicator.
1. Auto calculated based on 1000 days of ADR and DC
imgur.com
2. Using Library where statistical values are stored.
imgur.com
3. User-defined values used. Yeah you read it right. Fully on-demand changes are supported. Which gives freedom to users for setup their own Adaptive FIB and Profit Percentages.
imgur.com
Based on this 3 options, TP and SL points are calculated on bar closures. Strategy Orders are also shown / raised with the closures.
Ok, system calculates these values but how to read / use them. what is this strategy based on ?
This strategy is mostly looking for minimizing the LOSS in case of any stop. So because of this, in each TP, system gives order signal to close half of the remaining open position.
There are 7 type of orders
OL : Open Long (Close Short and Open Long if in position)
CL 50 : Close Long - %50 of Open Position
CL 100 : Close Long - Close all position
OS : Open Short (Close Long and Open Short if in position)
CL 50 : Close Short - %50 of Open Position
CL 100 : Close Short - Close all position
TP5 : Highest TP reached. Close all position.
Script checks cross of EMA / VWMA and adFib to decide open a position. In reversal / crosses, adFib line had been set to defined Fib. Percentage (FP) level.
For creating the TP points, Profit Percentage (PP) parameter had been used which I briefly introduce at the beginning with the options.
One important topic about this strategy, it is not stacking / pyramiding the positions. Which means, it always calculate one way position. For example we are in the long position after OL signal.
We reached TP values and take profits. Later on due to FP crossing EMA, OS order signal given. This means you have to close all long position and open short position.
But beware. These calculated points are based on given values or calculated regarding to average ADR / DC ratings. For supporting strategy, several methods also had been included in the options.
imgur.com
These are:
1. MA plotting (Optional 4 EMA, 1WMA) - checking for Golden and Death Cross
2. Bollinger Bands (Length 25 and Multiplier 2.5 set as default. Used in correlation with TEMA)
3. Kama 2 / Kama 5 - Crossing speaks of Trend way
4. TEMA (TEMA 50, VWMA 25 calculations and plotting. Used for TEMA 50 / VWMA 25 / SMA 25 cross checks for weakening or strengthening trend analysis)
5. ATR plotting
6. Chandelier Exit plotting (Widely used for calculating Stop levels in market)
7. PSAR (Widely used for indicating trend reversal)
Also for the ease of use, if the users does not want to plot any values on the graph and just want to see the values there is couple of tables also included.

1. To minimize the stop just after the order opening candle in volatile grounds, system prevents to raise new order signals if there is a signal already raised in last 4 candle.
2. if system reach and give close order in one of the TP points (For Ex TP1.), then index goes down and goes up again same TP (above TP1 in scenario) after 4 candle, system gives a close order signal again in the same TP.
3. There is a Profit Factor value had been shown at Order Info table. This information shows how profitable is the setup regarding to given FP and PP values.
In general market conditions, A Profit Factor above 1.50 is considered good enough and above 2.0 it is considered ideal. A strategy with profit factor less than 1.20 suggests too bigger a risk taken for making money.
In some cases automatic ADR and DC calculations are not good enough. so if you want to find a good Profit Factor value, you can change the system automatic calculation to manual value entering and you can see the results directly with in this field.
The Flash-Strategy (Momentum-RSI, EMA-crossover, ATR)The Flash-Strategy (Momentum-RSI, EMA-crossover, ATR)
Are you tired of manually analyzing charts and trying to find profitable trading opportunities? Look no further! Our algorithmic trading strategy, "Flash," is here to simplify your trading process and maximize your profits.
Flash is an advanced trading algorithm that combines three powerful indicators to generate highly selective and accurate trading signals. The Momentum-RSI, Super-Trend Analysis and EMA-Strategy indicators are used to identify the strength and direction of the underlying trend.
The Momentum-RSI signals the strength of the trend and only generates trading signals in confirmed upward or downward trends. The Super-Trend Analysis confirms the trend direction and generates signals when the price breaks through the super-trend line. The EMA-Strategy is used as a qualifier for the generation of trading signals, where buy signals are generated when the EMA crosses relevant trend lines.
Flash is highly selective, as it only generates trading signals when all three indicators align. This ensures that only the highest probability trades are taken, resulting in maximum profits.
Our trading strategy also comes with two profit management options. Option 1 uses the so-called supertrend-indicator which uses the dynamic ATR as a key input, while option 2 applies pre-defined, fixed SL and TP levels.
The settings for each indicator can be customized, allowing you to adjust the length, limit value, factor, and source value to suit your preferences. You can also set the time period in which you want to run the backtest and how many dollar trades you want to open in each position for fully automated trading.
Choose your preferred trade direction and stop-loss/take-profit settings, and let Flash do the rest. Say goodbye to manual chart analysis and hello to consistent profits with Flash. Try it now!
General Comments
This Flash Strategy has been developed in cooperation between Baby_whale_to_moon and JS-TechTrading. Cudos to Baby_whale_to_moon for doing a great job in transforming sophisticated trading ideas into pine scripts.
Detailed Description
The “Flash” script considers the following indicators for the generation of trading signals:
1. Momentum-RSI
2. ‘Super-Trend’-Analysis
3. EMA-Strategy
1. Momentum-RSI
• This indicator signals the strength of the underlying upward- or downward-trend.
• The signal range of this indicator is from 0 to 100. Values > 60 indicate a confirmed upward- or downward-trend.
• The strategy will only generate trading signals in case the stock (or any other financial security) is in a confirmed upward- (long entry signals) or downward-trend (short entry signals).
• This indicator provides information with regards to the strength of the underlying trend and it does not give any insight with regard to the direction of the trend. Therefore, this strategy also considers other indicators which provide technical confirmation with regards to the direction of the underlying trend.
Graph 1 shows this concept:
• The Momentum-RSI indicator gives lower readings during consolidation phases and no trading signals are generated during these periods.
Example (graph 2):
2. Super-Trend Analysis
• The red line in the graph below represents the so-called super-trend-line. Trading signals are only generated in case the price action breaks through this super-trend-line indicating a new confirmed upward-trend (or downward-trend, respectively).
• If that happens, the super trend-line changes its color from red to green, giving confirmation that the trend changed from bearish to bullish and long-entries can be considered.
• The vice-versa approach can be considered for short entries.
Graph 3 explains this concept:
3. Exponential Moving Average / EMA-Strategy
The functionality of this EMA-element of the strategy has been programmed as follows:
• The exponential moving average and two other trend lines are being used as qualifiers for the generation of trading-signals.
• Buy-signals for long-entries are only considered in case the EMA (yellow line in the graph below) crosses the red line.
• Sell-signals for short-entries are only considered in case the EMA (yellow line in the graph below) crosses the green line.
An example is shown in graph 4 below:
We use this indicator to determine the new trend direction that may occur by using the data of the price's past movement.
4. Bringing it all together
This section describes in detail, how this strategy combines the Momentum-RSI, the super-trend analysis and the EMA-strategy.
The strategy only generates trading-signals in case all of the following conditions and qualifiers are being met:
1. Momentum-RSI is higher than the set value of this strategy. The standard and recommended value is 60 (graph 5):
2. The super-trend analysis needs to indicate a confirmed upward-trend (for long-entry signals) or a confirmed downward-trend (for short-entry signals), respectively.
3. The EMA-strategy needs to indicate that the stock or financial security is in a confirmed upward-trend (long-entries) or downward-trend (short-entries), respectively.
The strategy will only generate trading signals if all three qualifiers are being met. This makes this strategy highly selective and is the key secret for its success.
Example for Long-Entry (graph 6):
When these conditions are met, our Long position is opened.
Example for Short-Entry (graph 7):
Trade Management Options (graph 8)
Option 1
In this dynamic version, the so-called supertrend-indicator is being used for the trade exit management. This supertrend-indicator is a sophisticated and optimized methodology which uses the dynamic ATR as one of its key input parameters.
The following settings of the supertrend-indicator can be changed and optimized (graph 9):
The dynamic SL/TP-lines of the supertrend-indicator are shown in the charts. The ATR-length and the supertrend-factor result in a multiplier value which can be used to fine-tune and optimize this strategy based on the financial security, timeframe and overall market environment.
Option 2 (graph 10):
Option 2 applies pre-defined, fixed SL and TP levels which will appear as straight horizontal lines in the chart.
Settings options (graph 11):
The following settings can be changed for the three elements of this strategy:
1. (Length Mom-Rsi): Length of our Mom-RSI indicator.
2. Mom-RSI Limit Val: the higher this number, the more momentum of the underlying trend is required before the strategy will start creating trading signals.
3. The length and factor values of the super trend indicator can be adjusted:ATR Length SuperTrend and Factor Super Trend
4. You can set the source value used by the ema trend indicator to determine the ema line: Source Ema Ind
5. You can set the EMA length and the percentage value to follow the price: Length Ema Ind and Percent Ema Ind
6. The backtesting period can be adjusted: Start and End time of BackTest
7. Dollar cost per position: this is relevant for 100% fully automated trading.
8. Trade direction can be adjusted: LONG, SHORT or BOTH
9. As we explained above, we can determine our stop-loss and take-profit levels dynamically or statically. (Version 1 or Version 2 )
Display options on the charts graph 12):
1. Show horizontal lines for the Stop-Loss and Take-profit levels on the charts.
2. Display relevant Trend Lines, including color setting options for the supertrend functionality. In the example below, green lines indicate a confirmed uptrend, red lines indicate a confirmed downtrend.
Other comments
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.

How it works
It's important to remember that merely having the AI-Powered Strategy Optimizer on your chart doesn't automatically provide you with the best strategy. You need to follow the AI's guidance through an iterative process to discover the optimal settings for your strategy.
The Trading Strategy Optimizer is a versatile tool tailored for both non-coding traders and seasoned algorithmic trading professionals. Let's start with no-code-required instructions on how to use the optimizer.
Instructions: How To Optimize Your Strategy Without Code
1. Build your strategy in the settings
The image above shows explanations for each key setting.
Note: This example uses the RSI indicator to initiate a long trade whenever it dips below the 30 mark.
Ensure that the indicator you wish to optimize is already applied to your chart . This enables the Trading Strategy Optimizer to interact with the indicator and finetune profit targets and stop losses effectively.
Because the indicator is plotted on the chart I can access the indicator with the Trading Strategy Optimizer and optimize profit targets and stop losses for it.
2. Leverage AI Recommendations
Optimization Prompt: After you load your strategy, the tool advises you on new TP and SL levels that could be more profitable.
When your strategy is set, the tool gives you tips for where to set your profit goal (TP) and your stop loss to help you optimize your strategy. It'll tell you if there's a better range for these settings based on past results.
Follow Suggestions: Keep updating your TP and SL according to the tool's suggestions until it says "Best Found".
Final Result: The last image shows the best settings found by the indicator.
(Optional Step 3)
3. Lock the profit target or stop loss to further fine tune your strategy
Continue following the AI’s suggestion until “Best Found” is displayed.
Note: you can select lock either your stop loss or profit target for fine tuning. For this demonstration we will lock our profit target.
Code-Required Instructions (Optional)
You can backtest more code-intensive strategies, such as harmonic patterns, traditional chart patterns, candlestick patterns, Elliot wave, etc., by coding the entry condition in your own script and loading it into the Trading Strategy Optimizer. Let's dial in on how to achieve this!
1. You must create an integer variable in your script with an initial value of "0".
2. Define your entry condition in the code. Once complete, assign the value "1" to the variable you created if the entry condition is fulfilled.
3. Plot your variable.
4. Select the plotted variable in the settings for the Trading Strategy Optimizer
The image above shows a coded entry condition for the linear regression channel (which can be any indicator). When price crosses under and closes below the lower line our variable "strategyEntryVariable" is assigned the value "1".
The Trading Strategy Optimizer will treat this change in value from "0" to "1" as an entry signal and enter long/short up to 1000 times at the price where the entry condition was fulfilled.
5. Test Your Strategy
The image above shows the completion of the process! Keep applying the steps we described. Stick with the AI's recommendations until you see “Best Found” show up.
By following these instructions, you can build, test, and optimize almost any trading indicator or strategy!
So, just note that the Trading Strategy Optimizer considers a change in value of a plotted variable from "0" to "1" as an entry signal! So long as you follow this rule you should be able to test and optimize any conceivable, Pine Script compatible strategy!
AI Mode
AI Mode incorporates Heuristic-Based Adaptive Learning to fine-tune trading strategies in a continuous manner. This feature consists of two main components:
Heuristic-Based Decision Making: The algorithm evaluates multiple versions of your strategy using specific metrics such as Profit and Loss (PNL), Win Rate, and Most Efficient Profit. These metrics act as heuristics to assist the algorithm in identifying suitable profit targets and stop losses for trade execution.
Online Learning: The algorithm updates the performance evaluations of each strategy based on incoming market data. This enables the system to adapt to current market conditions.
Incorporating both heuristic-based decision-making and online learning, this feature aims to provide a framework for trading strategy optimization.
Settings
AI Mode Aggressiveness:
Description: The "AI Mode Aggressiveness" setting allows you to fine-tune the AI's trading behavior. This setting ranges from "Low" To "High, with higher aggressiveness indicating a more assertive trading approach.
Functionality: This feature filters trading strategies based on a proprietary evaluation method. A higher setting narrows down the strategies that the AI will consider, leaning towards more aggressive trading. Conversely, a lower setting allows for a more conservative approach by broadening the pool of potential strategies.
Adaptive Learning Aggressiveness:
Description: When Adaptive Learning is enabled, the "Adaptive Learning Aggressiveness" setting controls how dynamically the AI adapts to market conditions using selected performance metrics.
Functionality: This setting impacts the AI's responsiveness to shifts in strategy performance. By adjusting this setting, you can control how quickly the AI moves away from strategies that may have been historically successful but are currently underperforming, towards strategies that are showing current promise.
Additional Settings
Optimization
Trading system optimization is immensely advantageous when executed with prudence.
Technical-oriented, mechanical trading systems work when a valid correlation is methodical to the extent that an objective, precisely-defined ruleset can consistently exploit it. If no such correlation exists, or a technical-oriented system is erroneously designed to exploit an illusory correlation (absent predictive utility), the trading system will fail.
Evaluate results practically and test parameters rigorously after discovery. Simply mining the best-performing parameters and immediately trading them is unlikely a winning strategy. Put as much effort into testing strong-performing parameters and building an accompanying system as you would any other trading strategy. Automated optimization involves curve fitting - it's the responsibility of the trader to validate a replicable sequence or correlation and the trading system that exploits it.

How to: Find the best RSI for trading
It's important to remember that merely having the AI-Optimized RSI on your chart doesn't automatically provide you with the best strategy. You need to follow the AI's guidance through an iterative process to discover the optimal RSI settings and strategy.
1.Starting Your Strategy Setup
Begin by deciding your goals for each trade: your profit target and stop loss. You'll also choose how to manage your stops – whether they stay put (fixed) or move with the price (trailing), and whether you want to exit trades at a specific price (limit orders). Keep the initial settings for RSI lengths and cross ranges at their default to give the tool a broad testing field. The AI's guidance will refine these settings to pinpoint the most effective ones through a process of comprehensive testing.
The image above shows our chart prior to any optimization efforts.
Note: the settings shown above in the key settings section will be used to start our demonstration.
2. Follow AI’s suggestions
Optimization Prompt: After loading your strategy, the indicator will prompt you to change the RSI length range and RSI level range to a better performing range.
Continue changing the RSI length range and RSI level range to match the indicator's suggestions until "Best Found" is displayed!
The image above shows results after we applied the tool’s suggestions. New suggestions have appeared, and we will continue to apply them.
Continue to adjust settings as recommended by the optimizer. If no better options are found, the optimizer will suggest increasing the number of combinations. Repeat this process until the optimizer indicates that the optimal setting has been identified.
Success! With the "Best Found" notification, an optimized RSI is now active. The AI will keep refining the strategy based on ongoing performance, ensuring continuous optimization.

Channels Strategy [JoseMetal]============
ENGLISH
============
- Description:
This strategy is based on Bollinger Bands / Keltner Channel price "rebounds" (the idea of price bouncing from one band to another).
The strategy has several customizable options, which allows you to refine the strategy for your asset and timeframe.
You can customize settings for ALL indicators, Bollinger Bands (period and standard deviation), Keltner Channel (period and ATR multiplier) and ATR (period).
- AVAILABLE INDICATORS:
You can pick Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels for the strategy, the chosen indicator will be plotted as well.
- CUSTOM CONDITIONS TO ENTER A POSITION:
1. Price breaks the band (low below lower band for LONG or high above higher band for SHORT).
2. Same as 1 but THEN (next candle) price closes INSIDE the bands.
3. Price breaks the band AND CLOSES OUT of the band (lower band for LONG and higher band for SHORT).
4. Same as 3 but THEN (next candle) price closes INSIDE the bands.
- STOP LOSS OPTIONS:
1. Previous wick (low of previous candle if LONG and high or previous candle if SHORT).
2. Extended band, you can customize settings for a second indicator with larger values to use it as STOP LOSS, for example, Bollinger Bands with 2 standard deviations to open positions and 3 for STOP LOSS.
3. ATR: you can pick average true ratio from a source (like closing price) with a multiplier to calculate STOP LOSS.
- TAKE PROFIT OPTIONS:
1. Opposite band (top band for LONGs, bottom band for SHORTs).
2. Moving average: Bollinger Bands simple moving average or Keltner Channel exponential moving average .
3. ATR: you can pick average true ratio from a source (like closing price) with a multiplier to calculate TAKE PROFIT.
- OTHER OPTIONS:
You can pick to trade only LONGs, only SHORTs, both or none (just indicator).
You can enable DYNAMIC TAKE PROFIT, which updates TAKE PROFIT on each candle, for example, if you pick "opposite band" as TAKE PROFIT, it'll update the TAKE PROFIT based on that, on every single new candle.
- Visual:
Bands shown will depend on the chosen indicator and it's settings.
ATR is only printed if used as STOP LOSS and/or TAKE PROFIT.
- Recommendations:
Recommended on DAILY timeframe , it works better with Keltner Channels rather than Bollinger Bands .
- Customization:
As you can see, almost everything is customizable, for colors and plotting styles check the "Style" tab.
Enjoy!

ESPAÑOL
============
- Descripción:
Esta estrategia se basa en los "rebotes" de precios en las Bandas de Bollinger / Canal de Keltner (la idea de que el precio rebote de una banda a otra).
La estrategia tiene varias opciones personalizables, lo que le permite refinar la estrategia para su activo y temporalidad favoritas.
Puedes personalizar la configuración de TODOS los indicadores, Bandas de Bollinger (periodo y desviación estándar), Canal de Keltner (periodo y multiplicador ATR) y ATR (periodo).
- INDICADORES DISPONIBLES:
Puedes elegir las Bandas de Bollinger o los Canales de Keltner para la estrategia, el indicador elegido será mostrado en pantalla.
- CONDICIONES PERSONALIZADAS PARA ENTRAR EN UNA POSICIÓN:
1. El precio rompe la banda (mínimo por debajo de la banda inferior para LONG o máximo por encima de la banda superior para SHORT).
2. Lo mismo que en el punto 1 pero ADEMÁS (en la siguiente vela) el precio cierra DENTRO de las bandas.
3. El precio rompe la banda Y CIERRA FUERA de la banda (banda inferior para LONG y banda superior para SHORT).
4. Igual que el 3 pero ADEMÁS (siguiente vela) el precio cierra DENTRO de las bandas.
- OPCIONES DE STOP LOSS:
1. Mecha anterior (mínimo de la vela anterior si es LONGy máximo de la vela anterior si es SHORT).
2. Banda extendida, puedes personalizar la configuración de un segundo indicador con valores más extensos para utilizarlo como STOP LOSS, por ejemplo, Bandas de Bollinger con 2 desviaciones estándar para abrir posiciones y 3 para STOP LOSS.
3. ATR: puedes elegir el average true ratio de una fuente (como el precio de cierre) con un multiplicador para calcular el STOP LOSS.
- OPCIONES DE TAKE PROFIT:
1. Banda opuesta (banda superior para LONGs, banda inferior para SHORTs).
2. Media móvil: media móvil simple de las Bandas de Bollinger o media móvil exponencial del Canal de Keltner .
3. ATR: se puede escoger el average true ratio de una fuente (como el precio de cierre) con un multiplicador para calcular el TAKE PROFIT.
- OTRAS OPCIONES:
Puedes elegir operar sólo con LONGs, sólo con SHORTs, ambos o ninguno (sólo el indicador).
Puedes activar el TAKE PROFIT DINÁMICO, que actualiza el TAKE PROFIT en cada vela, por ejemplo, si eliges "banda opuesta" como TAKE PROFIT, actualizará el TAKE PROFIT basado en eso, en cada nueva vela.
- Visual:
Las bandas mostradas dependerán del indicador elegido y de su configuración.
El ATR sólo se muestra si se utiliza como STOP LOSS y/o TAKE PROFIT.
- Recomendaciones:
Recomendada para temporalidad de DIARIO, funciona mejor con los Canales de Keltner que con las Bandas de Bollinger .
- Personalización:
Como puedes ver, casi todo es personalizable, para los colores y estilos de dibujo comprueba la pestaña "Estilo".

LONG SAZB $This strategy combines the use of:
-The MTF EMA to detect trends.
-The MACD to create Long and Short Buy signals.
-The ATR for setting Stop Losses and Take Profits.
This works well with many different crypto and fiat pairs, but it must be optimized for the certain behavior of the currency pair. Its optimal use is strong trends, not so profitable when sideways.
This strategy was developed with the 5-minute Bitcoin / TetherUS Perpetual futures for Binance (Crypto trading platform).
This is the first version, updates will come.
MTF EMA
The MTF EMA (Multi-TimeFrame Exponential Moving Average ) is a great indicator to see the overall trend of an asset, you can see the status of a moving average for all timeframes on one chart.
Normally when you check a moving average of the price it's on some specific timeframe. The MTF EMA allows you to see moving average status for all timeframes in a single place. You can simplify your visual representation and know if an asset or a pair is overall bullish or bearish , with this improving your entry and exit signal decisions.
This strategy uses the 1 hour and 15 min EMA with different values. Experimenting with these is important to understand the currency pairs.
Up trend:
Price (source) > 1h MTF and 1h MTF < 15m MTF
Down trend:
Price (source) < 1h MTF and 1h MTF > 15m MTF
MACD
Using MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) as a reference, the strategy identifies when the MACD line crosses over (a factor in a buy signal) and under (a factor in a Sell signal) the Signal line. This shows a shift in positive (cross over) and negative (cross under) of a security.
This strategy uses values of 12 on the Fast MA, 26 on the Slow MA, and 9 in the Signal Line MA.
The optional ribbon is for a more visual representation of the MACD .
The MACD and Signal line have the option to have a crossover limit to cancel buy signals depending on the value they crossed at according to the 0 line of the MACD . This is to avoid fake signals.
ATR TP/SL
Using ATR to define the stop loss and take profit is that it should allow you to set them at a realistic distance from price. Simply put, a pair experiencing a high level of volatility has a higher ATR, and a low volatility stock has a lower ATR.
The indicator does not indicate the price direction; rather it is used primarily to measure volatility caused by gaps and limit up or down moves. All this is used to allow the Stop Loss “breathing space” so trades don't get unnecessarily stopped, and allow the Take Profit to be at a more realistic, flexible, and profitable price.
This strategy uses different values for Longs and Shorts depending on the market behavior, optionally analyzes swing lows and highs according to the value of the candle lookback and sets the ATR depending on them, they must be tested to optimum. Also the ATR has a multiplicator to find the most efficient price levels.
Trade Setup
Shorts and Longs can be turned OFF and ON.
There is an optional maximum % loss for trades, the trade is closed when the high-low average of a candle is over this %.
Longs
This strategy indicates a Long Buy signal when these conditions are met:
- Uptrend signal from MTF EMA .
- MACD Crossover of Signal ( MACD > Signal) while being under the MACD crossover limit.
A Long exit signal is indicated when:
- Price crosses over the ATR Take Profit limit.
- Price crosses under the ATR Stop Loss limit.
- Price crosses under optional max % long loss.
Shorts
This strategy indicates a Long Buy signal when these conditions are met:
- Downtrend signal from MTF EMA .
- Signal Crossover of MACD ( MACD < Signal) while being over the MACD crossover limit.
A Short exit signal is indicated when:
- Price crosses under the ATR Take Profit limit.
- Price crosses over the ATR Stop Loss limit.
- Price crosses over optional max % short loss.

Short Swing Bearish MACD Cross (By Coinrule)This strategy is oriented towards shorting during downside moves, whilst ensuring the asset is trading in a higher timeframe downtrend, and exiting after further downside.
This script can work well on coins you are planning to hodl for long-term and works especially well whilst using an automated bot that can execute your trades for you. It allows you to hedge your investment by allocating a % of your coins to trade with, whilst not risking your entire holding. This mitigates unrealised losses from hodling as it provides additional cash from the profits made. You can then choose to hodl this cash, or use it to reinvest when the market reaches attractive buying levels. Alternatively, you can use this when trading contracts on futures markets where there is no need to already own the underlying asset prior to shorting it.
ENTRY
This script utilises the MACD indicator accompanied by the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 450 to enter trades. The MACD is a trend following momentum indicator and provides identification of short-term trend direction. In this variation it utilises the 11-period as the fast and 26-period as the slow length EMAs, with signal smoothing set at 9.
The EMA 450 is used as additional confirmation to prevent the script from shorting when price is above this long-term moving average. Once price is above the EMA 450 the script will not open any shorts - preventing the rule from attempting to short uptrends. Due to this, this strategy is ideal for setting and forgetting.
The script will enter trades based on two conditions:
1) When the MACD signals a bearish cross. This occurs when the EMA 11 crosses below the EMA 26 within the MACD signalling the start of a potential downtrend.
2) Price has closed below the EMA 450. Price closing below this long-term EMA signals that the asset is in a sustained downtrend. Price breaking above this could indicate a bullish strength in which shorting would not be profitable.
EXIT
This script utilises a set take-profit and stop-loss from the entry of the trade. The take profit is set at 8% and the stop loss of 4%, providing a risk reward ratio of 2. This indicates the script will be profitable if it has a win ratio greater than 33%.
Take-Profit Exit: -8% price decrease from entry price.
OR
Stop-Loss Exit: +4% price increase from entry price.
Based on backtesting results across a selection of assets, the 45-minute and 1-hour timeframes are the best for this strategy.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
The backtesting data was recorded from December 1st 2021, just as the market was beginning its downtrend. We therefore recommend analysing the market conditions prior to utilising this strategy as it operates best on weak coins during downtrends and bearish conditions, however the EMA 450 condition should mitigate entries during bullish market conditions.
Swing Trader-Pro V2The strategy- what is it?
This indicator is designed from a theory created by myself in order to distinguish a correction from an impulse. This comes down to the ability to compare "x" range of candles to "y" range of candles and highlight key differences to then correctly portray that the most recent move in price will be (or is) a correction.
Following this theory, we all understand that corrections don't go with the trend right? So this means at some point, there is a high probability of a rejection somewhere in this most recent move, that will ultimately push price higher or lower as it continues back with the trend. Therefore, through extensive quantitative research and back-testing, we are able to highlight areas of high-probability rejections within these supposed corrections.
How does it work?
Firstly, we need to establish a high and low point (using pivots ) that help us decide what the state is of the recent move between the high and low (we call this "point A" and "point B"). So we can only consider whether the recent move in price was an impulse or a correction until the move from "point B" to "point C" is made. But before that, once we have identified "Point A" and "point B", we use 2 (supposedly) strong levels which help integrate a box onscreen and thus, indicate this area of high liquidity. This box will continue to adjust according to the change of pivots (if price keeps creating HH's & HL's or LH's & LL's depending on market trend). But if we establish a strong high and low and price stays within this range, then the box will remain in place.
The default color of the box is red; the only time the color of the box will change is when:
- Price retraces from the high/low back to the box (price has to touch the box)
AND
-If any of our confirmations indicate a successful correction based on our theory.
So the box color varies:
- Red = very weak (or) no entry = no confirmations were made
- Yellow = weak entry = some but not all confirmations were made
- Green = strong entry = all confirmations have indicated that the move from "point B" to "point C" (remember that "point C" is where the box is) is a correction when compared with the move from "point A" to "point B"
These confirmations are all validated on the same candle during live candle activity (not when the candle has closed on the box). As this happens, the confirmations will determine the state of entry quality as soon as price touches the box.
In this time, we will see a new orange label highlighting what indicators have confirmed a successful correction and what haven't.
The label shows the different confirmation indicators in which we have provided different names (as this is the secret we intend to keep). So we have:
- "CC"
- "B1/B2"
- "B3"
Usually, we will see either an "OK" or "NOT OK" next to each confirmation indicator. This just tells us whether they have confirmed or not. Please note that this "point C" label does not stay permanently, regardless of the state of entry quality. The label will in fact stay on the screen until the next box has been generated, which is usually a few candles after the entry has been triggered.
Entries, SL's and TP's
This indicator shows the user an area of high-probability rejection. So in terms of specifying a precise entry, you're completely free to enter on the following:
- the moment price touches the box (depending on what color it is of course)
- the other end of the box (if you would like to catch a "sniper entry")
- or if price pierces the entire box and is still green, you can wait to see if price comes back through the box (which indicates a false breakout).
As for Stop-losses, i would recommend:
- Long entries: set your SL at the recent low (this should be "point A")
- Short entries: set your SL to the recent high (this should be "point A" as well, because if you're switching from the "long entry" setting to the "short entry" setting, the indicator labels flip around and are the opposite of what they are for long entries).
For Take profits, this is entirely up to the user. Because some entries will allow you to have great RR ratios depending on how you manage the active trades. Some recommendations below:
- Set TP to "point B" pivot
- Use trailing stop function or something similar if available
- Add other indicators such as the RSI and close when price reaches key levels
- When price shows signs of exhaustion or early stages of reversal then just close
Additional information and recommendations
- This works on any time frame and on any financial market, whether you prefer Forex, stocks, crypto, commodities , etc.
- In regards to trade direction, you can change in the settings to look for either long or short positions in the market. I would recommend using it in favor of the overall trend of the markets because you will find a lot better entries. Although, this does work against the trend at times as well. Additionally, this tool also works in consolidating markets which is beneficial.
- After becoming used to the script, i would say to apply it twice to your screen and have one looking for Long entries and the other looking for Short entries.
- As the user, you have the ability to remove the labels in the parameter settings (because it does look quite messy onscreen, especially if you have both long and short entries on at the same time). I would only personally show the labels when price hits the current box to see what confirmations have been identified.
- I will also provide the best parameters to use. You will only need one set of parameters for each long and short setting, as these parameters are universal for any time frame and any financial market.
FIRST UPDATE
After extensive back testing using our first version, we found that in fact, there are some great opportunities being wasted as the entry box stays red. This is due to some series of market structure that don't always fit our theory of continuations within the market. We found that although our theory is accurate, the amount of times the market fits this is more rare than times when price follows sequences. When we look for sequences in the market instead of specifying differences between impulses and corrections, we actually see areas of serious repetitiveness, thanks to how our indicator initially generates. Not how it confirms. So, understanding this new theory through one component of our previous indicator, we are still able to keep boxes at the same area yet accurately confirm more profitable entries external to our full previous strategy.
Moving towards the practical side of things:
-Make sure "add extra confirmation" parameter is selected, as this will allow the indicator to search for more valid entries rather than just our normal confirmations. (this is a tick box).
- Default parameters are already set for both C1 and C2
In a simple sense, this update is added to find more confirmations to turn more red boxes into green boxes based on other theories outside of our original one. How we do this exactly is part of the mystery.
SECOND UPDATE
- Fibonacci based moving average: using elements of the Fibonacci sequence and its relevance to being a hot-spot in price activity, we have integrated this into a moving average which is stronger than your usual MA. Here, you will notice it showing stronger signs of rejecting price, especially when trending. Hence, this is extremely useful to implement into your strategy as part of the trend identification. When price is consolidating, depending on how volatile or close-in the waves are during these periods, the FMA is similar to your typical MA, so therefore not so good. But the overall intention of this is to enhance your conclusion to whether price is trending and whether price is bullish or bearish.
- This is now a strategy, not just an indicator: So now we can choose from a huge variety of parameters in accordance to what ones work best with what pair, or time frame. The typical parameters to change would be the entry points, stop losses and take profits. We have also added in a "SL to entry" option. ALL PARAMETERS ARE FIBONACCI LEVELS AS THIS MAKES IT UNIVERSAL TO ANY PAIR/ TIME FRAME.
- Move the entry boxes : So this is very useful for certain pairs and mainly to help the user understand key sequences on a quantitative level. Sometimes we can notice that pairs spike higher than the typical entry (0.618) so we have allowed flexibility to the point where you can alter the box appearance to either the 0.618 level (default), 0.786 and the 0.9 level.
- Back-testing: Now the user can back-test the strategy and see the performance within any financial market you add this to! Please note that according to the strategy, once a trade is placed, it wont enter any more trades when the current one is still active. I have requested to change this, but it is out of our development team's reach. However, this doesn't discredit what the system can help you achieve, as you will still be able to find profitable parameters within the financial markets.
Strategy default properties
Backtest start: this date is when you would like to start the backtest, however, the indicator will go as far as the data can be read
Backtest end: choose your date to end the back test.
Trade session: choose the trading session you want this strategy to work on.
Filter by session: you can filter the backtested results depending on whether you want the strategy to take trades within the chosen trading session.
Filter by Fibonacci moving average: select this if you would like for the back tested results to consider whether the valid trade setups are in accordance to what the FMA displays (Bullish or Bearish). This is deselected.
Fibonacci Moving Average Timeframe: here you can select what timeframe you would like the FMA to work on, default is the “same as chart” button/ option.
TraderDirection: choose whether you would like LONG or SHORT entries for the indicator to find.
Max risk per trade: choose the risk setting per trade, i would suggest lowering this to 1% ((MODERATOR) This is the default setting!)
EntryFib: choose between the options as to where you would like the strategy to enter positions, the default is the 0.618 zone which is the closest side of the box to price. You will also see that when you choose to change this, the boxes on your screen will move accordingly. A very helpful function!
StopFib: choose your Stop Loss based on the same Fibonacci level as what you choose for your entry, remember that the higher the fib level, the higher (or safer) your Stop Loss is from price spiking. It all comes down to preference.
TakeProfitFib: choose your Take Profit based on the same Fibonacci level as what you choose for your entry, remember that the lower the fib level, the higher your Take Profit is again, It all comes down to preference.
BreakevenFib: the default setting is on “disabled” however when you select a certain Fibonacci level, once price reaches there during the active trade, your Stop Loss will be set to entry, this function is designed to stop volatile price fluctuations rendering your in-profit trade result to hitting your Stop Loss and losing when it closes out.
MACD/RVSI/Stoch/RSI/EXP(Drawdown)I have been trying for several months to get a script to work on the 1min and this one gives some good backtest results. This script will also work on higher timeframes however, I've not extensively tested on higher timeframes. My aim was to get results on about 20 crypto coins then run the 1min bots in parallel looking for small frequent profits across all the coins. If you would like me to try and fit backtest results to any coin or pair on any timeframe please do get in touch anytime.
It's based on several indicators which are combined and then a newish way for the stop loss to implement based on an exponential rising which limits the time in each trade unless the price moves in the direction of the trade. The other useful feature is drawdown minimization which previously made all of my 1minute bot attempts non-practical due to differences between backtesting and actually running the bot(s) live.
Its possible at the top to paste in strategy comments which can be used through web-hooks for auto trading bots. Leaving these blank just defaults to the pre-programmed comments that provide some indication of why a trade was exited.
It is possible to select for Short and/or Long trades. Note however, that there are exponential markers on the charts for both long and short trades in any setting. I found that this way the bot worked well with regards to timing.
The next part of the user interface settings gets a bit tricky so try and use the sample parameters provided below. For example, select a crypto coin then try some of the options below until a reasonable backtest result in obtained (or select the best from the parameter groups tested) then move down the settings interface to optimise with the remaining settings.
So 'Use MACD/RVSI', 'RSI clause' and 'Use Stochastic' are set to true for the below sample settings (1min timeframe).
MACD/RVSI Confluence Resolution (1min, 2min, 5min, 10min, 1hour)
Timeframe RSI (1min, 2min, 3min, 15min, 1hour)
FastStoch, SlowStoch (1min, 45min: 5min, 30min: 1min, 1hour: 5min, 1hour)
Eg. for FTX:ETHPERP (MACD/RVSI Confluence Resolution=1hour, Timeframe RSI= 1min, FastStoch = 1min, SlowStoch = 45min)
Setting the timings is tricky - there is a lot going on. Have a look at the chart and select/deselect the options. The MACD/RVSI Confluence Resolution shows red and green vertical regions on the chart background. The Timeframe RSI colors the candle bodies red and green. These go green if the RSI crossed over 31% or red in the RSI crossed under 69%. The MACD/RVSI Confluence Resolution is explained in more detail in one of my other scripts. Then the Slow Stoch colors above and below the price action with red or green lines depending if on an uptrend or downtrend (approximately). Where there is also an up/down trend on the faster timeframe stoch there are vertical shaded fill regions between the slow stop above/below lines.
With all the above conditions selected to represent the data (looking at strategy backtest results whilst adjusting) there is a reasonable approximation to a credible trade.
So once an ok backtest result is obtained by selecting timing settings. Its ontot the Stop Ramp Settings. This is an exponential line which rises rapidly after a period of time thus exiting the trade or going upwards with the trade. It kind of limits the maximum time a trade will stay in position which forms part of the timing aspect of this bot. Look at the chart exponential red lines and adjust the settings, along with the backtest results to select a good timing.
Then its the Drawdown Catcher and the Take Profit Setting. Start with the drawdown catcher disabled i.e. set to zero. Put in a conservative Take Profit, for example if a Take Profit at 6% gives the best backtest results, go for 4% to account for differences between backtest results and actual live bot performance.
Then start to increase the Drawdown Catcher. This shades a lime region where the bot will not enter a trade. I found that with most trades using this bot, if the price action moved in the direction of the trade (long or short) at the onset - this gave most of the good results (high probability of positive trade). Also if a trade entered at the start price and when south, the accumilated drawdown from these failing trades made all previous 1min bot attempt non=profitable in practice (even with good backtest results). The exp timing and also this drawdown reduction strategies seem to be the thing which makes this approach credible.
Try to go for settings that give a very high change of positive trade. For example, an 85% profitable trades will probably provide say 55% positive trades in practice as its always highly possible to just fit the parameters to the exact position/trade timings - and in reality going forwards these don't play out the same. Also a Profit Factor of 2 is about the minimum I would accept - again this provides for example a Profit Factor of 1.2 in practive.
However all being said - I think its possible with this bot on the 1min across lots of coins - with regularly updating settings - to make profits. (Not financial advice)
Please do get in touch if you would like me to fit this bot to anytimeframe to any trade.

█ DISCLAIMER
THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVICE
The use of strategy functions doesn't compile recurring investments/contributions as used in this study, so disregard the results of the strategy tester.
As seen in the style/plots lists, I calculate the results in internal variables to analyze historical results.
prnt.sc
Anyway, this is only a historical study and past performance is no guarantee of future results
█ CONCEPTS
There is a discussion about Timing x Time in the market.
The point of this discussion is between buying in the better moment, against exposing yourself to the market as soon as possible.
Anyone who argues that the most important factor is the time exposed to the asset, no matter when, is usually based on the SP500 asset.
As shown in the image above, a hypothetical investor who made a single investment of US $ 1500.00 in December 1999, was trapped by a volatility of approximately 10% in the period, followed by a loss of around 50% in the following years. In December 2012, this investment was finally positive, and after 20 years it accumulated a gain of 180% - without reducing inflation in the period.
█ Timing the news
When an asset reaches a new historic high, the idea of "time in the market is the best strategy" gains momentum, after all, at this "moment" everyone previously exposed to the asset is making a profit, regardless of inflation or any benchmark.
█ Time in the market
Considering using this strategy, we can define 3 points for a brief analysis:
1. Asset
SPX is used as a reference for this type of statement due to the difficulty of finding another one with such consistency, liquidity, ease of access and time of history.
2. Long Term
We cannot consider it a long term strategy, as it never has a predetermined term
3. Recurring contributions.
To generate an average cost spread over periods of high and low, opening the possibility to realize positions with profit in eventual needs.
As shown in the image below, if this hypothetical investor made monthly contributions since the date of the first contributions, he would have the possibility of making profits between the period from October 2004 to September 2008, returning to the loss until October 2010, and then with a profit of 100% over the total amount invested.
Below, an example of an asset in a downtrend with the final balance returning below the total volume invested.
█ First Conclusion
> Recurring contributions (3) to an asset (1) during a downtrend will increase the loss for an indefinite period (2).
> Recurring contributions (3) to an asset (1) during an uptrend are more important than immediate exposure to the asset, regardless of the term (2).
> Recurring contributions (3) in an asset (1) in a region of possible long-term top (2), will negatively affect profitability even considering the resumption of the upward trend in an indefinite period.
█ Timing the market
As shown in the image below, following the strategy above: a single contribution in the amount of US$ 1000.00 at the worst moment (Dec / 2017), the hypothetical investor would have hold a loss of over 80%. At the moment it accumulates 89% of profit, having reached the maximum of 200% at the beginning of the year.
By making monthly contributions since the date of the first contribution, this investor would have the possibility to make profits from May 2019, accumulating 335% profit at the moment.
Adding the condition of buying the maximum cost of 10% above the average price of the last 200 days, the final result is little affected, and reduces losses in the initial investment period.
Adding the condition of taking profit of 50% of the position when the price is above the average of the last 200 days, and reinvesting 50% of the cash obtained in the next purchase opportunity (paying a maximum of 10% above the average of the last 200 days), the profit cumulative final price drops to 270%, but the realized profit already exceeds the total amount invested, which eliminates future risk of the operation. (favorable risk-return ratio)
Adding the condition to reinvest 50% of the cash flow, with the condition to buy when the price is below 20% away from the average of the last 200 days, the final result would be more than 400% of retained earnings, and realized profit in cash greater than the total amount invested.
█ Other Assets
It's possible to analyze other assets, including dividend yield and earnings for the equity formula. This way we can analyse assets more fairly.
ITSA4
BOVA11
█ Final Conclusion
> Exposing yourself early to a good opportunity may be good, but the risk of doing so at the wrong time could delay your projects indefinitely.
> Investment recurrence is the main driver for your future results.
> Setting a maximum value for making entries reduces short-term fluctuation but, in the long run, the effect is almost imperceptible.
> The realization of profits at favorable times considerably reduces the risk and volatility of the balance, in addition to providing cash for better opportunities in the short and medium term.
> Taking advantage of part of this cash flow for purchases in moments of opportunity, enhances future earnings.
Even an extremely simple strategy like the one used in the examples above, offers a better risk return for the investor compared to the immediate exposure to an asset.
Thus arises the desire to study more sophisticated strategies, as we will see in the future
█ Challenges
Time in the market
- Find good assets (1) to make recurring contributions (3) for an indeterminate period (2).
Timing the market
- Reading the markets to position yourself in favor of the more probable trends at certain times with predetermined terms.
Scalping Dips On Trend (by Coinrule)Coinrule's Community is an excellent source of inspiration for our trading strategies.
In these months of Bull Market, our traders opted mostly on buy-the-dips strategies, which resulted in great returns recently. But there has been an element that turned out to be the cause for deep division among the Community.
Is it advisable or not to use a stop-loss during a Bull Market?
This strategy comes with a large stop-loss to offer a safer alternative for those that are not used to trade with a downside protection.
Entry
The strategy buys only when the price is above the Moving Average 50 , making it less risky to buy the dip, which is set to 2%.
The preferred time frame is 1-hour.
The stop-loss is set to be quite loose to increase the chances of closing the trade in profit, yet protecting from unexpected larger drawdowns that could undermine the allocation's liquidity.
Exit
Stop loss: 10%
Take Profit: 3%
In times of Bull Market, such a trading system has a very high percentage of trades closed in profit (ranging between 70% to 80%), which makes it still overall profitable to have a stop-loss three times larger than the take profit.
Pro tip: use a larger stop-loss only when you expect to close in profit most of the trades!
The strategy assumes each order to trade 30% of the available capital and opens a trade at a time. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account.
