3C MACD & RSI Scalper no repaintThis is not a set and forget strategy. It needs constant tweaking to maintain a high winrate. Also what works on one pair can be horrible on another.
This strategy works best on the 1 min or 5 min TF but also works well on the 15 min. Haven't done any testing in higher TF's as im only interested in scalping.
If enabled you can retrive data on the MACD and RSI from any timeframe.
The strategy do not repaint.
You can filter on sessions as well as days. Often trading during say only the EU times and not trading during weekends yields better results. This is because weekeds and eg. the Asia Sessions are alot less volatile.
You do not need a 3c subscription to run this strategy as the bot turns on and off the bot itself.
Instructions for the 3commas connector:
1. First, you need to prepare 3commas Long/Short bots that will only listen to custom TV signals.
2. Inputs for the 3commas bot can be found at the end of the user inputs.
3. Once you have entered the required details into the inputs, turn on 3commas comments. They should appear on the chart (looks messy).
4. Now you can add the alert where you should paste the 3commas Webhook URL: 3commas.io
5. For the alert message text insert the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} and delete the rest. 6. Once the alert is saved, you can turn off those 3commas comments to have a clearer chart.
7. With a new alert, the bot and trade should launch.
Long or Short trades are determined with a crossing of the fast MA over the slow MA for Long and the opposite for Short. Trades should only happen close to the crossovers.
You can select from various different MA's and of course lenghts. I often find that using HEMA as the fast MA and DEMA as the slow give more trades while also maintaining a high winrate.
Then for Long we use the MACD indicator where we look for high peaks in negative values for Long and vice versa for Shorts. These should be significantly higher than other peaks (or if you will lower peaks for a Long).
The key is to detect high peaks on the histogram, which we will try to achieve by checking if the last 2 values were higher than X bars back. If you want to make it even more specific, then you can turn on the additional checkbox which compares the current value to the average value of X bars back, and if it is greater than, say, 72% the value of the average then it's ok to enter the trade.
The RSI filter, sets the maximum RSI threshold for a long position and the minimum for a short. By default and what i recomend is that you enter Longs when RSI is above 50 and shorts when RSI are below 50.
-You can set confirmation of the trade direction with RSI, i.e. for Long the RSI must rise a specified number of bars back, vice versa for Short.
Enabling the pullback filter is great to avoid Longing tops and Shorting bottoms.
Whats ahead. I really want to incorporate RSI divergencies, but haven't figured out how yet. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Have a look at my other strategies. They are similar to this but works abit differently.
The 3 strike line and the engulfing candles are not something that has an impact on the script yet, and might never be. But i do like to turn them on for a visual to see if the trade the strategy opened is a good one.

Rajiv Patel Strategy with ATR RSI CCI MACD EMA IchimokuRajiv Patel Strategy with alerts helps to identify entry and exit levels based on following Indicators.
1. ATR Trailing Stoploss
2. RSI
3. CCI
4. MACD
5. EMA
6. SMA
7. Ichimoku
This Strategy is fully customizable as per your trading style. Below are some examples of how once can use the Strategy.
Options Based on Each Indicator Individually.
1. ATR Trailing Stoploss – When price is above ATR Trailing Stoploss line its in buy zone and when below its in sell zone. The setting of ATR Trailing Stoploss are customizable like ATR Periods and ATR Multiplier. Suggest increasing ATR Multiplier with lower timeframe. Aggressive buyers can decrease ATR Period in higher timeframe as per trade plan.
2. RSI – RSI above EMA Length is buy zone and below is sell zone. Conservative buyers can increase the RSI & EMA Length period while aggressive and reduce. Higher the timeframe gives better results.
3. CCI – Similar to RSI the buy zone is when CCI crosses above EMA Length. Again CCI & EMA Length can be customised as per trade plan. Higher timeframe is advised.
4. MACD – MACD parameters default settings are based on trying to get early entry. One can change to 26, 13 and 9 in lower timeframe. When MACD crosses above Signal line its buy zone and when below its sell zone.
5. EMA – 5 EMA lines and 2 SMA lines can be plotted. The settings of both EMA lines and SMA lines can be adjusted based on timeframe and trade plan.
6. EMA – EMA line 1 and 2 can be used as buy when EMA1 crosses above EMA2 and sell when below. The length of EMA1 & 2 is adjustable. Suggest modifying based on timeframe and trade plan.
7. SMA – SMA1 can also be used as solo indicator. If price is below SMA1 then its no buy area and if above, then in buy area. SMA2 can be used to identify if trend is upward or downward based on user settings.
8. Ichimoku – It predicts price movements bit like moving averages. Offers a unique perspective of support and resistance levels.
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen)
- Measures Short Term Trend
- Signals an area of minor support and resistance
Base Line (Kijun Sen)
- Measures Medium term trend
- Used as Trailing Stop Level
Lagging Span (Chikou Span)
- Used for confirmation of signals
- Can also serve as Support and Resistance Level
Kumo Cloud
- Formed of two lines: Senkou Span A (Green Line) and Senkou Span B (Red Line)
- Dynamic Support and Resistance
HOW TO READ ICHIMOKU INDICATOR
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen)
- If Price is above the Conversion Line = Short term upward movement
- If Price is below the Conversion Line = Short term downward movement
- Increasing Conversion Line = Short term uptrend
- Decreasing Conversion Line = Short term downtrend
Base Line (Kijun Sen)
- If Price is above the baseline = Medium term uptrend
- If the Market price is below the baseline = Medium term downtrend
- Increasing Base Line = Medium term uptrend
- Decreasing Base Line = Medium term downtrend
Lagging Span
- The Evolution of the current price action in relation to previous price action
- If the Lagging span is above the current price = Bullish Bias
- If the Lagging span is below the current price = Bearish Bias
- Lagging span near the current price = Trading range
Kumo Cloud
- Dynamic Support and Resistance based upon price action.
- The longer the price stays below/above the Kumo cloud, stronger the trend
- When the cloud is wide, the expected support or resistance is strong
- When the cloud is thin, the expected support or resistance is weak
- Never trade when price is inside Kumo Cloud
HOW TO TRADE WITH ICHIMOKU CLOUD
1. Baseline and conversion Line crossover (Lagging Span as a Filter)
crossover (conversion line, baseline) = Buy
crossunder (conversion line, baseline) = Sell
FILTER
Crossover (conversion line, baseline) and lagging span is Bullish (i.e above the price) = Buy
Crossunder (conversion line, baseline) and lagging span is Bearish (i.e below the price) = Sell
2. Baseline - Conversion line crossover (Kumo cloud Filter)
Crossover (conversion line, baseline) above the Kumo Cloud = Strong Buy
Crossover (conversion line, baseline) below the Kumo cloud = Weak Buy
Crossunder (conversion line, baseline) below the Kumo Cloud = Strong Sell
Crossunder (conversion line, baseline) above the Kumo Cloud = Weak Sell
3. Kumo Cloud Breakout
When the price enters the Kumo Cloud, and breaks its Upper wall upward = Bullish Signal
When the price enters the Kumo Cloud, and breaks its Lower wall downward = Bearish Signal
4. Kumo Cloud Crossover
When Span A crosses the Span B from below to the upside and prices are positioned above the Kumo Cloud = Strong Buy Signal
When Span A crosses the Span B from upside to the bottom and the prices are positioned below the Kumo Cloud = Strong Sell
When Span A crosses Span B from bottom to the upside and prices are positioned below the Kumo Cloud = Weak Buy Signal
When Span A crosses Span B from the upside to the bottom and the prices are positioned above the Kumo Cloud = Weak Sell Signal
Options Based on Combining Multiple Indicators.
One can select and combine multiple conditions based on above understanding of individual indicator to create a strong Long Entry, Short Entry, Long Exit and Short Exit. This Strategy also provides Alert signal for all entry and exit based on the combinations of conditions selected.
Since this is a strategy one can use STRATEGY TESTER to understand how the strategy has performed over the selected time span. This however does not guarantee similar results in present or future trades.
Please enter commission or total charges charged by your broker in “Properties” Tab of the strategy. Modify all parameters of “Properties” Tab as needed. Note, this can affect the performance results of the strategy.
Need to be very careful in selecting conditions as it becomes very complex with many options available.
Note:
Triangles at the top and bottom indicates the zone. Can be turned on / off using condition “Show Conditions Visually”.
1. Red triangle at top pointing down with ‘S’ indicates in Long Exit zone.
2. Red triangle at top pointing down with ‘EnS’ indicates in Enter Short zone.
3. Green triangle at bottom pointing up with ‘B’ indicates in Long Entry zone.
4. Green triangle at bottom pointing up with ‘ExS’ indicates in Exit Short zone.
5. When the is no triangle either at top or bottom means there is no zone.
Send me your suggestions, will try to incorporate the same in next revision.

Customizable OCC Non Repainting Scalper Bot v7.0bThis strategy is intended to be used on an automated trading platform and should be run on a one minute chart for fastest confirmations and signal relay to crypto automation platform. The strategy has been modded to only go long at this time to focus on profitability for one direction. The open long and close long text fields allow you to use your own webhook message for this purpose.
I have spent quite a bit of time and I figured I would put it out to the community to share the work and also get some feedback.
Ok, so let me say that I have done absolutely everything I can to make the strategy not repaint while still maintaining it's profitability. It has been a challenge so I am publishing this to the community to help test this.
What I have observed: the strategy will not repaint in real time. That is, if you have the chart open and keep it open, the signals are the same as the ones that are sent out by the strategy. In certain cases, when I reload the chart- the signals might be off from what was sent. In some ways, that is repainting, but it is repainting based on losing the real time data and recalculating from a different set of bars- since I am running it on a one minute chart then the start becomes different when you refresh.
To address repainting while keeping the strategy calculating as quickly as possibly I have altered the logic in the following ways:
I have made an assumption which might not work for everyone- at the first tick of the next bar, you can almost safefly assume in crypto that if you are looking at the previous bar for information, the open of the current bar was the close of the previous bar. This for the most part holds true in crypto with good liquidity. If you are trading a pair that jumps around due to low volume- this might not be the strategy to use. I might publish a different version with a different logic.
I have altered the security repaint to use isbarconfirmed, so at the very end of the bar (as soon as the bar is confirmed), we recalculate to the higher time frames. So as soon as the data is available, it is at that point that we can then safely calculate higher time frames. This is unique and experimental, but seems to do well at creating good signals for entry.
I have employed my own intervals by utilizing the resolution as an integer (used by the previous authors)- but in this case, I use the interval to take a snapshot of the higher time frame. With open close cross, the different moving averages can cause the repainting as they change to show the exact point of the cross. The interval feature I created minimizes this by utilizing the previous bar info until the interval is closed and then we recalculate the variants. You can use the interval offset feature to denote which minute is the one that starts and ends the interval. So for instance, Trading View uses minue 1 and minute 31 for 30 minute intervals. If you offset your 30 minute interval would start on minute 16 and do its calculations based on the last 30 minutes,
As with most of my scripts, I have started using filters and a "show data" feature that will give you the ability to see the values of indicators that you cannot plot in the overlay. This allows you to figure out how to filter losing trades or market conditions.
I have also added a trailing stop and created a fixed stop loss as seems to perform better than the original occ strategy. The original one seemed to repaint enough that it would close too quickly and not give the posiition enough time to become profitable. In certain cases where there was a large move, it would perform well, but for the most part the trades would not close profitably even though the backtest said that it did - probably due to the delay in execution and pinescript not having a confirmation on what the actual position price was.
This is still in beta mode, so please forward test first and use at your own risk.
If you spot repaint issues, please send me a message and try to explain the situation.

Gap Reversion StrategyToday I am releasing to the community an original short-term, high-probability gap trading strategy, backed by a 20 year backtest. This strategy capitalizes on the mean reverting behavior of equity ETFs, which is largely driven by fear in the market. The strategy buys into that fear at a level that has historically mean reverted within ~5 days. Larry Connors has published useful research and variations of strategies based on this behavior that I would recommend any quantitative trader read.
What it does:
This strategy, for 1 day charts on equity ETFs, looks for an overnight gap down when the RSI is also in/near an oversold position. Then, it places a limit order further below the opening of the gapped-down day. It then exits the position based on a higher RSI level. The limit buy order is cancelled if the price doesn't reach your limit price that day. So, the larger you make the gap and limit %, the less signals you will have.
Features:
Inputs to allow the adjustment of the limit order %, the gap %, and the RSI entry/exit levels.
An option to have the limit order be based on a % of ATR instead of a % of asset price.
An optional filter that can turn-off trades when the VIX is unusually high.
A built in stop.
Built in alerts.
Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Open-source scripts I publish in the community are largely meant to spark ideas that can be used as building blocks for part of a more robust trade management strategy. If you would like to implement a version of any script, I would recommend making significant additions/modifications to the strategy & risk management functions. If you don’t know how to program in Pine, then hire a Pine-coder. We can help!
The Impossible TraderTHE IMPOSSIBLE TRADER
A simple, but effective High Freq Strategy script based on MACD or RSI trend, with extra customizable Alert Messages for Bots.
WHAT IT DOES
This script (works best at lower TimeFrames) just follow the trend of MACD or RSI on your asset.
Why it should work? Because in an upper trend, there are more chance of green candles than reds. And in dump trend there are more chance of red candles than greens.
While trend is positive, it will try to open Long orders as fast as possible at market price.
While trend is negative, it will try to open Short orders as fast as possible at market price.
HOW TO SETUP YOUR PREFERENCES
Capital : Insert a % of Margin you want to use for your positions (usually 30% is quite good)
Leverage : Choose leverage based on your plans
Trail Tick @ : This value (in Tick) tell the script "when" the "Trail Stop" order must be activated (from the Entry price)
Offset Tick @ : This is the price (in Tick) from the Trail Stop Price activated. Basically it is a Stop Loss that follow the price at a fixed distance.
SL Tick @ : Set a Stop Loss at amount Tick distance from the Entry Price. (Let's call it a Safety Stop Loss for bad decisions...)
TP Tick @ : Set a Take Profit at amount Tick distance from the Entry Price. Sometimes is better to exit in full Gain than keep positions.
Strategy : You can choose a Only Long, Only Short or Long+Short sametime strategy.
with MACD or RSI : You can try the strategy applied on MACD or applied on customizable RSI EMA
EMA : If you choosed RSI EMA, you can set any value for your testing (usually 80-120 works very nice)
Exit order after bars : Some Exchanges / Brokers apply fixed cost, and a strategy too fast could not be productive. This set will let you to delay the Exit Order on already Opened positions.
Keep Stop Loss active : If you are planning a delay for Exit Orders, sometime could be useful to keep activated Stop Loss.
Strategy Preset : Some preset I've found interesting, with good results.
BackTest Days : If there are too many results and script doesn't work, you can choose a closer range to show results.
EXTRA FEATURES
On Screen Display : OSD will show you some realtime stats about your strategy, like Asset Tick, Trading Period Range, Drawdown, Gains and not closed trade.
Alert Message : You can enter custom Long Entry/Exit and Short Entry/Exit message for your Bots (like AutoView, WunderBit, etc...). When alert is triggered, you can send custom message with {{strategy.order.comment}} in the text field
AutoView Alert Message : If you are user of AutoView, you can generate your calls. Those are tested only on Oanda with index like Sp500, US100, Us30.
TIPS ON USE
Some asset on TradingView require an higher initial capital. Go to this Script Settings -> Properties and rise Initial Capital.
Be aware of commissions and spread when evalutating a strategy. Go to this Script Settings -> Properties and set Commission and Slippage
Trail Stop and Ticks could be difficult to understand, but very profitable. Please take your time and study how it works.
Consider Tick like the minimum movement your asset can do. Ticks occurs "intra-bar", so some of your positions could be closed almost instantly.
Consider Trail Stop like a Stop Loss that keep always the same distance from your positions, but never came back . If you are in gain, say of 10 Ticks, and your Trail have 5 Ticks, this means for sure a close at minimum 5 Ticks from Entry Price.
On Screen Display will show you Ticks for your asset. This will help you on strategy settings, because not all asset responds on the same way.
ONLY LONG EXAMPLE
ONLY SHORT EXAMPLE
Sideways Strategy DMI + Bollinger Bands (by Coinrule)Markets don’t always trade in a clear direction. At a closer look, most of the time, they move sideways. Relying on trend-following strategies all the time can thus lead to repeated false signals in such conditions.
However, before you can safely trade sideways, you have to identify the most suitable market conditions.
The main features of such strategies are:
Short-term trades, with quick entries and quick exits
Slightly contrarian and mean-reversionary
Require some indicator that tells you it’s a sideways market
This Sideways DMI + Bollinger Bands strategy incorporates such features to bring you a profitable alternative when the regular trend-following systems stop working.
ENTRY
1. The trading system requires confirmation for a sideways market from the Directional Movement Index (DMI) before you can start opening any trades. For this purpose, the strategy uses the absolute difference between positive and negative DMI, which must be lower than 20.
2. To pick the right moment to buy, the strategy looks at the Bollinger Bands (BB). It enters the trade when the price crosses over the lower BB.
EXIT
The strategy then exits when the move has been exhausted. Generally, in sideways markets, the price should revert lower. The position is closed when the price crosses back down below the upper BB.
The best time frame for this strategy based on our backtest is the 1-hr. Shorter timeframes can also work well on certain coins that are more volatile and trade sideways more often. However, as expected, these exhibit larger volatility in their returns. In general, this approach suits medium timeframes. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Density & Step Grid Strategies BacktesterThis contains several signals for backtesting strategies only in binance futures assets.
HOW IT WORKS
Grid trading is a trading strategy where an investor creates a so-called "price grid". The basic idea of the strategy is to repeatedly buy at the pre-specified price and then wait for the price to rise above that level and then sell the position (and vice versa with shorting or hedging). We introduce 2 grids trading algorithms "Step" and "Density" .
FEATURES
Grid size: This algorithm has a max of 20 orders.
Take profit: The trader can increase or decrease the distance between the grids from the User Interface panel, is the the distance from average price.
Management: The algorithm distributes the capital for all orders depending on the amount fator, for example 1.1% of amount factor adds 10% over the previus order.
Stop Loss: The algorithm place the stopn using distance from the last lower / upper grid depending on the position side.
USES
Indispensable research and backtesting tool for those using bots for their investments. The algorithm produces a backtesting of the strategy for past history. It is used by professional traders to understand if this strategy has been profitable on a market and what parameters to use for bots using this strategy, only binance futures assets supported.
If you would like to develop your own algorithm with customized conditions based on a grid strategy, please contact us.

Estrategia Larry Connors [JoseMetal]============
ENGLISH
============
- Description:
This strategy is based on the original Larry Connors strategy, using 2 SMAs and RSI.
The strategy has been optimized for better total profit and works better on 4H (tested on BTCUSDT).
LONG:
Price must be ABOVE the slow SMA.
When a candle closes in RSI oversold area, the next candle closes out of the oversold area and the closing price is BELOW the fast SMA = open LONG.
LONG is closed when a candle closes ABOVE the fast SMA.
SHORT:
Price must be BELOW the slow SMA.
When a candle closes in RSI overbought area, the next candle closes out of the overbought area and the closing price is ABOVE the fast SMA = open SHORT.
SHORT is closed when a candle closes BELOW the fast SMA.
*Larry Connor's strategy does NOT use a fixed Stop Loss or Take Profit, as he said, that reduces performance significantly.
- Visual:
Both SMAs (fast and slow) are shown in the chart.
By default, the fast SMA is aqua color, the slow changes between green and red depending on the "trend" (price over slow SMA = bullish, below = bearish).
RSI can't be shown because TradingView doesn't allow to show both overlay and panel indicators, so candles get a RED color when RSI is in OVERBOUGHT area and GREEN when they're on OVERSOLD area to help with that.
Background is colored when conditions are met and a position is going to be open, green for LONGs red for SHORTs.
- Usage and recommendations:
As this is a coded strategy, you don't even have to check for indicators, just open and close trades as the strategy shows.
The original strategy uses a 5 period SMA instead of the 10, and 10/90 for oversold/overbought levels, this has been optimized after the testings and results but feel free to change settings and test by yourself.
Also, the original strategy was developed for daily, but seems to work better en 4H.
- Customization:
As usual I like to make as many aspects of my indicators/strategies customizable, indicators, colors etc., feel free to ask if you feel that something that should be configurable is missing or if you have any ideas to optimize the strategy.

ESPAÑOL
============
- Descripción:
Esta estrategia está basada en la estrategia original de Larry Connors, utilizando 2 SMAs y RSI.
La estrategia ha sido optimizada para un mejor beneficio total y funciona mejor en 4H (probado en BTCUSDT).
LONG:
El precio debe estar por encima de la SMA lenta.
Cuando una vela cierra en la zona de sobreventa del RSI, la siguiente vela cierra fuera de la zona de sobreventa y el precio de cierre está POR DEBAJO de la SMA rápida = abre LONG.
Se cierra cuando una vela cierra POR ENCIMA de la SMA rápida.
SHORT:
El precio debe estar POR DEBAJO de la SMA lenta.
Cuando una vela cierra en la zona de sobrecompra del RSI, la siguiente vela cierra fuera de la zona de sobrecompra y el precio de cierre está POR ENCIMA de la SMA rápida = abre SHORT.
Se cierra cuando una vela cierra POR DEBAJO de la SMA rápida.
*La estrategia de Larry Connor NO utiliza un Stop Loss o Take Profit fijo, como él dijo, eso reduce el rendimiento significativamente.
- Visual:
Ambas SMAs (rápida y lenta) se muestran en el gráfico.
Por defecto, la SMA rápida es de color aqua, la lenta cambia entre verde y rojo dependiendo de la "tendencia" (precio por encima de la SMA lenta = alcista, por debajo = bajista).
El RSI no puede mostrarse porque TradingView no permite mostrar tanto los indicadores superpuestos como los del panel, así que las velas obtienen un color ROJO cuando el RSI está en el área de SOBRECOMPRA y VERDE cuando están en el área de VENTA para ayudar a ello.
El fondo se colorea cuando se cumplen las condiciones y se va a abrir una posición, verde para LONGs rojo para SHORTs.
- Uso y recomendaciones:
Como se trata de una estrategia ya programada, ni siquiera hay que comprobar los indicadores, sólo hay que abrir y cerrar las operaciones tal y como muestra la estrategia en el gráfico.
La estrategia original utiliza una SMA de 5 periodos en lugar de 10, y 10/90 para los niveles de sobreventa/sobrecompra, esto ha sido optimizado después de las pruebas y los resultados, pero sé libre de cambiar la configuración y probarla por sí mismo.
Además, la estrategia original fue desarrollada para diario, pero parece funcionar mejor en 4H.
- Personalización:
Como siempre me gusta hacer personalizables todos los aspectos de mis indicadores/estrategias, indicadores, colores, etc., preguntar si notas que falta algo que debería ser configurable o si tienes alguna idea para optimizar la estrategia.
MACD Strategy [Trading Nerd]This Strategy uses a EMA as a trend filter and MACD for entries. The stoploss can be calculated by the last highs/lows or by the ATR.
Entry Conditions
Long:
close price must be above the EMA
MACD-Line crossover MACD-Signal-Line
MACD-Signal- Line mus be below 0
Short:
close price must be below the EMA
MACD-Line crossunder MACD-Signal-Line
MACD-Signal- Line mus be above 0
Exit Conditions
The Stoploss can be set in two different ways:
1. By the calculated ATR value of the entry Candle. This Value can be multiplied with the ATR multiplier for SL .
For Longs: SL = entry Price - ATR * ATR-multiplier
For Shorts: SL = entry Price + ATR * ATR-multiplier
2. By the previous highest high or lowest low (also called Donchain Channels). The lookback length can be changed in the at Lookback length for HH/LL SL .
For Longs: SL = LL of the last X candles
For Shorts: SL = HH of the last X candles
Take Profit
The TP is calculated by the Risk * Risk Reward Ratio . The Risk Reward Ratio can be changed in the Settings. The Risk is the difference of entry price and stoploss price: Risk = absolute(entry price - stoploss price)
For Longs: TP = entry Price + Risk * Risk Reward Ratio.
For Shorts: TP = entry Price - Risk * Risk Reward Ratio.
Risk Management
You can set the Risk % per Trade in the settings. A Value of 2 means that the position size is calculated in a way that at a loosing trade the strategy will only loose 2% of the current capital (initial capital + net profit).
E.g.: The current capital is $1000 and a trade hits the SL. The strategy will only loose $20.
Info for Alerts: Alert message conversion of JSON Strings. You don't need to add any \n or \" to the alert String.
When you create the Alert the Message must be: {{strategy.order.alert_message}}
Unicorn Quant Strategy [Astride Unicorn]Deeply customizable trading algorithm with instant back-testing. Its position management and trading signals engines emulate every step of the trading process and display all the actions on the chart. For example, the algorithm shows when to enter or partially close a position, move stop-loss to breakeven, etc. The trader can use these signals in their decision-making and replicate these actions in their trading terminal. The script can also send real-time alerts to the user’s Email.
The trading signals feature calculates entry signals for momentum and trend trading. The calculation is based on trend filtering using our custom filter based on rolling historical volatility. The historical volatility is used to distinguish the market regime and determine the current trend direction. In its calculations, the algorithm uses linear regressions instead of averaging. As our practice shows, it helps to reduce signal lag while keeping the number of false signals low.
HOW TO USE
Set stop-loss and up to three take-profit levels, choose rules for moving the stop-loss level, adjust sensitivity of the entry signals and see the back-test result immediately. If the performance of the strategy satisfies you, proceed with the forward-testing or live-trading.
When using this script, please, keep in mind that past results do not necessarily reflect future results and that many factors influence trading results.
SETTINGS
Use Starting Date - when the flag is turned off, the algorithm uses all available pricing data to calculate back-tests; when turned on, back-tests start from a starting date the user can select in the setting below.
Starting Date - sets a starting date for back-testing.
Trading Signals
Trade Length - defines the length of the trades the algorithm tries to calculate entry signals for. Recommended values are from 1.0 to 6.0.
Sensitivity - controls the sensitivity of the trading signals algorithm. The sensitivity determines the density of trading signals and how close the trailing-stop levels follow the price. The higher the value of this parameter is, the less sensitive the algorithm is. High values of the Sensitivity parameters (100-500) can help to withstand large price swings to stay in longer price moves. Lower values (10-100) work well for short- and medium-term trades.
Signals Type - In the Signals Type dropdown list, there are two options: Market Timing and Market Bias. Market timing is a type of trading signaling when the algorithm tries to find a perfect moment to enter and exit a trade. Market Bias is the type of trading signaling when the algorithm tries to be in a position all the time. When a trade is closed, the algorithm determines a direction to which the market is currently “biased” and immediately opens a trade in this direction.
Position Management
SL - sets stop-loss level measured as a percentage of the trade entry price
TP1, TP2, TP3 - sets take-profit levels measured as a percentage of the trade entry price
Close % at TP1, Close % at TP2, Close % at TP3 - Sets portions of the open position(as a percentage of the initial order size) to close at each of the TP levels
At TP1 move SL to, At TP2 move SL to - Sets the rules for moving stop-loss level in an open trade to protect the floating profit
Dashboards
Active Position Information - turns on/off a dashboard that shows the current SL and TP levels for the active position.
Recommended SL,TP Settings - turns on/off a dashboard that shows recommended settings for the SL and TP levels.
Ultimate Kinski Histogram Strategy [PrismBot] [Lite]This is an anti-curve fitting strategy that has no value inputs for the strategy settings. It just works , as they say.
This is based on the @KINSKI Buy-Sell Signal , but also incorporates other confluence (an MACD and histogram) and incorporates it into a fully automatable strategy with customizable order settings and quantity calculations.
The strategy has potential in scalping, but works best (in my testing) on higher timeframes (15M and up) with the default strategy.
Included in this Strategy:
✔️ Tweak a multitude of specific settings (MA lengths, R:R, SL distance etc)
✔️ Enable advanced setup filters
✔️ Use money management and risk calculations
✔️ Draw trade info directly to chart (eg. SL size in percent, win rate etc)
✔️ Use various filters (eg. time filter, date filter, MA slope angle etc)
✔️ Manage risk per position when auto-trading forex through AutoView
✔️ Choose from various alert conditions!
✔️ Sync to any bot or algorithmic trading system

SuperTrend Multiple Risk Management SystemThis is an improved SuperTrend strategy that makes use of multiple types of risk management options.
We have for example :
1. Take profit and stop loss levels based on support and resistence created with RSI and Pivot Lines(dynamic)
For example, if we have an oversold level and a pivot low , we can take that low point for support.(or resistence for short)
If instead we have an overbought level and a pivot high, we can take that high point for resistence.(orsupport for short)
2. Take profit and stop loss levels based on swing low and swing high points calculated with highest high and lowest low function(dynamic)
For example we take the lowest point in the last 100 candles. We calculate the distance from the current point to that one, and we apply this value as a take profit point. Same for stop loss
3. Take profit and stop loss levels based on % movements(fixed)
For example we have a tp or sl of 10%. If either of them make a movement of 10% from the entry point, they will get triggered.
4. Break even stop loss once the asset moves certain % in our direction.
For example we have a long breakeven of 5%. If the asset moves 5% in our direction, we move the stop loss on the entry point so if the trade pullback and crosses with this point it will exit from the trade.
Notes:
All the exits from the strategy are happening at the end of the candle close, since we are checking if inside the current candle we cross with either high or low of the candles parts the set prices from any of the above options.
At the same time we can combine multiple of them into one, and we can either exit based on which one was hit first, or use a quantity reduction of the trade and exit multiple times when we hit any of the levels.
This tool is for educational purpose only.
Its main purpose is to show the difference between having a risk management or without.
For example on this scenario of BTC USD 4h, I found out that the drawdawn was reduced by more than half when using different type of risk management, compared to not use one at all, while at the same time increasing the profits by a huge margin.
iCryptoScalperHi everyone!
In this post I would like to present my personal indicator for short-term strategies on cryptocurrencies called iCryptoScalper , but let me first introduce myself:
I am a theoretical physicist with a deep passion for trading and mathematical modelling of the financial markets.
I started trading cryptocurrencies more than 4 years ago and, throughout this period, I got more and more involved in trying to describe the mechanisms governing
the price action at lower timeframes like 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
As a beginner, I started with the usual "buy and hold" strategy, the safest but also boring option. Afterthat, I tried to get more involved on speed trading
and scalping and, as it happens to all the beginners, I went through many mistakes.
At the beginning, trying to find the best scalping strategy, was a very difficult task and I barely managed to perform well, mostly because every trade were overwhelmed
by my emotional approach and the fear of missing the right entry point and/or exit point. However, thanks to these difficulties, I understood that I needed
an algorithmic procedure to improve my performances and overtake the emotional approach, with a more technical approach: a mathematical guide that precisely tells me how to behave in the best way possible to be profitable.
To achieve this goal, I put all my efforts in trying to write a consistent mathematical model able to give me all the statistical informations I needed to reach
the best performances and, of course, the best possible profits.
The iCryptoScalper is an explicit mathematical tool to be used for scalping strategies and optimized for different cryptocurrency pairs on 15/30 min timeframes.
The script gives you many useful informations and details regarding the current and subsequent trade, accompanied with a detailed overview on both the last 20 short
and long trade results.
Let us have a look to all the detailed informations the script shows to you:
CHART
- Lines: The script plots for you the Entry price (yellow line), the Stop Loss price (red line) and a series of 8 Take Profit levels (green lines).
- Background: The green background color indicates that the script is in a long position, viceversa, the red background color indicates that the script is in a short position.
- Labels: The blue labels indicate the maximum achieved profit for each trade.
- Alerts: The script shows two types of alerts, the "prepare to #" one and the true entry one. The prepare alert is very useful to understand when the strategy is going
to enter a specific trade, thus giving you the possibility to set up all the necessary Entry/SL/TP levels on your favorite trading platform.
- Crosses: The green and red crosses are precisely located at the corresponding long and short entry price for the next trade, thus giving you a preview on the target price
that has to be reached for the indicator to enter. They are computed thanks to a mathematical model I set up and optimized for each cryptocurrency pair.
PANEL
- Overview: This part shows you two probability tables for the last 20 long and short trades each. The first table indicates the set of probabilities of reaching the corresponding TP level, whereas the second table shows the conditional probability , namely the probability of reaching a certain profit level once the previous one has been achieved.
Below the tables you can find three quantities again referring to the last 20 long and short trades: the Average Maximum Profit , the Average Maximum Drawdown and the Average Risk/Reward Ratio .
Last but not least, the correlation between the current asset and BTC is displayed together with the current BTC status.
- Active Trade: This part collects all the data related to the current trade status.
- Next Trade: This part collects all the data related to the next trade status.
ATTENTION!
Please notice that the equity line you see in the "Strategy Tester" section of TradingView is unreliable compared to the real performances of the script. This is due to the
fact that the TradingView engine is designed for backtesting automatic trading strategies and not real-time trading bots.
An example is the following: Bob buys 1 BTC-PERP contract at 10000$, setting the Stop Loss at 9000$. The price of the perpetual then goes to 12000$ and then go back hitting the Stop Loss. For the TradingView Engine this is a
trade with a permanent loss of 1000$. However, for the iCryptoScalper users, the trade is perfectly fine thanks to the numerous TP levels (and corresponding probabilities) given by the script within the trade window.

Titan EMA Averaging Strategy - (DYOR) By MrCryptoTitan EMA Averaging Strategy (VIP Only) Enable Longs or Shorts only Works With Crypto + Forex with correct back tested settings This is not set and forget. This requires you to back test and have relevant Risk Management in place.
The Strategy: The script uses 3EMA with engulfing candle to enter a trade in either short or long direction.
You will need to test the settings and adjust them so there isn't too many - re-entries and make sure you take profit big enough to not trigger on same candle.
When setting alerts you can use once per bar however this may trigger multiple alerts if the candle is moving very fast so this is not recommended. So doing once per bar close will mean entry is confirmed as bar is closed. You will need to select this in drop down menu.
- Max Trade Limit.
- All in one Alert. - Basically add syntax for example- Long/Take Profit/Re-entry/Emergency Stop. Then add one alert and select "Alert() function calls Only" Change Alert name to custom. That's it.
-Built-in Strategy tester.
- Trade Filter - Multi-MA Filters. - MA", "EMA", "WMA", "HullMA", "VWMA", "RMA", "DEMA", "TEMA", VWAP
- ADX Filter based on Level.
Please note when running this strategy you can only trade longs only or shorts only for this setup to be potentially profitable. Also note that setting unrealistic profit targets will make a loss. So it is very important to back test everything.
This Script does not use any Security functions. All indicators which are used part of the strategy are obtained from Trading View indicator Library and have source code has been changed to make this into Strategy.
Please Do Your Own Research before using this.
Anymore information please DM me directly
Backtest EngineThis is a simple backtest engine for your trading strategies. The idea behind this script is to make testing new strategies as easy as possible. Parameters such as take profit/stop loss and time period are built into the script and are customisable by the user via the settings interface. The only coding is to set the entry and exit conditions. Users need not touch any code beyond line 30.
For this post, I have used a 50/200 SMA crossover to demonstrate the ease of use for this script.
The features of this script include:
Backtest period start
Number of days until backtest period end
Take profit and stop loss % (via settings)
Programmable long and short entry/exit
Anti duplicate system (for entry conditions that are continuously satisfied, the engine will only make 1 trade until the is exit condition is satisfied).
DISCLAIMER: The strategy in this post is only a placeholder. The TP/SL levels are set to showcase the functionality of the engine and are in no means optimal settings.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions about the engine and happy coding!
Chandelier Exit - StrategyI created a strategy version for the Chandelier Exit indicator, originally owned by @everget . With the strategy I prepared, you can try both short-long and stop loss - trailing stop and take profit rates. I have also added a date filter feature so that you can test the strategy in the date range you want.
Orjinali @everget 'e ait olan Chandelier Exit indicator için strateji versiyonu oluşturdum. Hazırladığım strateji ile hem short-long deneyebilir hem de zarar durdur - takip eden stop ve kar al oranları denemeleri yapabilirsiniz. İstediğiniz tarih aralığında strateji testi yapabilmeniz için tarih filtre özelliği de ekledim.
RSI StrategyThis RSI strategy will allow you to go long when RSI is overbought and go short when RSI is oversold. You can also change the checked boxes to reverse this. Uncheck "Overbought Go Long & Oversold Go Short" and check "Overbought Go Short & Oversold Go Long" to use this reversed option.
You can also choose to use an ema filter as an additional qualifier for entry. Uncheck "No EMA Filter" and check "Use EMA Filter" if you want to use it.
Be sure to enter slippage and commission into the properties to give you realistic results.
I've also built in backtesting date ranges and the ability to trade only within certain times of day and have it close all trades at the end of that time frame. This is especially useful for day trading stocks. To specify a time from use the format 0930-1100 or whatever your trading hours will be. Check off "Enable Close Trade At End Of Time Frame" to close the trade at the end of your trading hours.
You can also specify a % based take profit and stop loss. Also keep in mind that the way this code is designed if you use the stop loss and/or take profit and it reaches either target and closes, then it will immediately re-enter if the condition for long or short entry is true.
Finally there's custom alert fields so you can send custom alert messages for strategy entry and exit for use with automated trading services. Simply enter your messages in the fields within the strategy properties and then put {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in your alert message body and it will dynamically pull in the appropriate message.
CCI StrategyThis CCI strategy will allow you to enter a long or short off a CCI zero line cross or control entries and exits from custom upper and lower band lengths. You can set a custom upper band which it will buy when it crosses up and then a custom upper band exit which it will sell when it crosses down. For a short you can set a custom lower band which it will short when it crosses down and the custom lower band exit which it will exit the short when it crosses up. Be sure to enter slippage and commission into the properties to give you realistic results.
I've also built in backtesting date ranges and the ability to trade only within certain times of day and have it close all trades at the end of that time frame. This is especially useful for day trading stocks. If you check off "Enter First Trade ASAP" then when using the time frame option it will enter the current trade. If however you uncheck that box and instead check off "Wait To Enter First Trade" it will wait for the trend to change and then enter.
You can also specify a % based take profit and stop loss. Also keep in mind that if you have "Enter First Trade ASAP" checked off and use the stop loss and/or take profit then it will re-enter the current trend again.
Finally there's custom alert fields so you can send custom alert messages for strategy entry and exit for use with automated trading services. Simply enter your messages in the fields within the strategy properties and then put {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in your alert message body and it will dynamically pull in the appropriate message.
MA trading tool v1.0Background to the tool
The tool was built out of frustration. Having traded for many years with a reasonable level of success I was always frustrated that my trading never went up a level. The world of trading is filled with people having so much more success than me and this level of FOMO really bothered me and resulted in inconsistency and countless hours sitting in front of a screen, hoping for the best. I also became a little bit of an indicator junkie - was there a holy grail indicator out there for me? I always felt that as a retail trader I was behind the curve. I started to investigate how the major market participants trade and make money and I was astounded at the level of success that they get from creating strategies and sticking to it. The market is driven largely by a "black boxes" which, for us retail traders are outside of our ability to access. I wanted to build a tool that could give me a traders edge.
Another factor that has always bothered me was when reading investing books there is a general assumption that a standard entry, say 8/13 cross over, works on all stocks. However, it is not the case and it can be frustrating for a trader using a set up and not realizing that the set up was/is the problem, not the trader. This realization alone has made a huge impact on my trading. The big boxes that control the market know this already.
Also, a lot of indicators that are available don’t take advantage of the backtesting capability provided in Tradingview. It is fairly simple to find 8-9 trades where a set up worked and then fall into the trade of assuming that it cannot fail. Knowing which set ups work and how frequently it will print will change the way that you trade.
The goal with the tool is to identify setups that have worked in the past with a high degree of profitability, high profit factor and low drawdown and using the planning tool allows you to customize the setup to find exactly what you are looking for across any tradeable asset on TradingView.
Over the past 20 years I have realized the following:
1) Not all entries and signals work the same on all stocks and knowing the historical performance of a strategy is critical
2) Not having a plan in advance lowers your probability of success
3) Developing consistency in analysis is critical
4) Developing confidence in your own plan is more important than whose trades you try to copy
5) Having 30 indicators does not help you trade better - it leads to more frustration
So here is the product of these realisations:
1) The tool looks across the most common entry strategies (RMA / EMA/ SMA/ HMA/WMA cross on 5 dimensions of type and 5 common crossovers) and can be used on 19 different time frames giving you guidance on what the best set up is for the stock you are analysing
2) It incorporates volatility into the strategy – when stocks are trading outside of a predetermined volatility band, a trade will not be entered. This accommodates traders who tend to get shaken out of trades too early.
3) It looks at the impact of “buying the dip” – often a common strategy employed by many traders which now can be backtested and reviewed to see if it actually helped or hindered the trade.
4) It measures your trade plan against your R – what you are willing to risk – and calculates your target profit based on your R multiple
5) It provides a non repaint signal on your base strategy and provides you with signals to trade smaller or shorter signals within the bigger strategy.
There are some additional visual tools:
• Squeeze signals - I am a big fan of the TTM squeeze however the Squeeze by itself can be hard to trade. Seeing a squeeze fire long on a chart can add to trade confidence.
• Seeing zones of support and resistance rather than single lines can also give you some leeway in terms of not getting pushed out of a trade too soon.
The backtester is always reviewed on a 2 to 3 year period to get an understanding of win rate %, profit ratio and average duration of trade. As an option trader knowing that a high probability move is playing out allows me to make sure that I don’t undercut the time frame for the expiration of the option relative to the historical average duration of a trade. Backtesting on shorter times is unrealistic.
Key benefits
1) It will save you a ton of time. I don’t have to sit in front of a screen watching ticks each day. I can plan for an entry, set an alert for a trade and when the conditions are met the TradingView system sends me a message and I will go and confirm a trade, execute it, set my alerts for control and move on with my life.
2) It allows me to review trade ideas in a consistent manner using the best trade plan and set up for a stock.
3) It forces me to be patient and not panic (always a good thing). With an adjustable volatility feature I can modify the volatility band in the trade plan to accommodate choppy market conditions.
4) It looks at both sides of the market (long and short) and you can calculate the impact of being market neutral or having a directional bias.
I hope this tool helps you to achieve some degree of peace in your trading.
