Bollinger Flip Flop StrategyThis strategy combines both long and short Bollinger band strategies with a signal to determine to determine when it's appropriate to use each. Additionally, the strategy has protections in place for market conditions which would normally cause a trade to be stuck due to a long market trend change. Think of it like a stop loss but instead of basing the stop on a percentage from entry, it's based on prevailing market conditions.
This strategy is ideal for controlling trading bots on the 3commas.io platform. To do this, you will need to set up two "simple" bots, one for short trades and one for long trades. Other than their direction, they should be configured identically. Set the parameters for the bot the same as you have them set in the strategy preferences. Once you've done this, set the "Short Bot ID" and "Long Bot ID" fields to the ID numbers for each bot, respectively. Next, set the Email Token parameter (this will be the same for both bots). Once you've done this, you need only configure a single alert per coin pair with the alert message set to {{strategy.order.alert_message}}. Make sure you have all of the strategy settings, including bot IDs and email tokens set correctly before creating the alert . These parameters are saved in the alert and can be safely changed on the active chart once the alert is created without affecting the alert.

Bollinger Band + RSI + ADX + MACD + HeikinashiThis script takes into picture Bollinger Bands, RSI with a comparator value, ADX with a comparator value, and MACD with Heikinashi Direction
THIS IS A LONG-ONLY STRATEGY. SHORT TRADES ARE NOT INCLUDED
Strategy:
The Strategy takes a trade only after ALL the following conditions are met.
Candle low is lower than the Bollinger Lower band
RSI is higher than the comparator value
ADX is higher than the comparator value
MACD value is higher than the Signal value
Stop Loss : Max of (Low of the candle - 0.22% and Close of the candle - 0.32%) - FYI, because its max, it's lower of the 2 and your risk is lesser
Target : Max of (Bollinger Band Upper band and 0.75% of the value of underlying) - FYI, it takes the maximum available
TDI Hedge Strategy
This is the incomplete version but upon multiple requests, I have released it early. All of the strategy and alert functions are yet to be written and I'll get around to it soon.
This indicator aims to be the best TDI indicator on TradingView. It is a strategy or study. It will have all of the filter, entry, and exit conditions for the strategies around the TDI.
What is implemented
MFI or RSI: the MFI is a much better TDI baseline than the RSI, in my opinion, and very effective
EMA or SMA used for the moving averages on fast, slow, and volatility band
Dynamic timeframe: set a factor of current timeframe and indicator will analyse higher timeframe automatically
Manual timeframe: set a higher timeframe to analyse different to currently viewed
Features for later
conditions for TDI filters/entries/exits
Strategy functions to use built-in strategy tester

DEMA/EMA & VOL (Short strategy)Hello,
I am trying to build a short momentum strategy that is based off of the DEMA crossing under the EMA, but because many momentum strategies send too many signals, I have also implemented a volatility condition based on the average true range percentage (ATRP). Essentially, as momentum moves downwards + volatility (ATRP) moves upwards, it shorts the security. However, I am having an issue with exiting trades. I think this would be a great strategy if I could simply get the strategy to exit the trades. Does anyone mind looking through the source code and tell me what I might be doing wrong? In return, I would hope that this strategy could be useful to you in same way! Thank you for looking!
3x SuperTrend Strategy (Mel0nTek) V1This is a triple SuperTrend based strategy for lower time frame trades such as day trades and scalping. I have not seen many strategies that combine multiple SuperTrends so I thought I would publish this one since I put it together and have been quite happy with the results. I have found through testing that the best results are on currency exchange markets such as Crypto or Forex on 1-15 min time frames.
The core idea was inspired by a youtube video put out by Trade Pro:
"Trade Pro - HIGHEST PROFIT Triple Supertrend Trading Strategy Proven 100 Trade Results"
I went ahead and set the defaults to the ones he uses in his video for anyone who wants to try a configuration similar to his. They work pretty well in general, however the EMA, SuperTrend ATR multipliers, and P/L ratio can be tuned/optimized to fit the timeframe/market desired. The video is quite good but not a required watch as I will explain below.
The 200EMA is used as a medium-term trend direction indicator.
- Price closing consistently above the 200EMA means that only long positions should be entered.
- Price closing consistently below 200EMA means that only short positions should be entered.
The 3 SuperTrend indicators should be used as direction confirmation for entries. Typically, price above SuperTrend indicates bullish movement, while price below SuperTrend indicates Bearish movement. However by itself, it is not a great indication to enter/exit positions in my experience. By combining 3 of them with slightly longer periods and increased ATR multipliers, we can get much stronger confirmation of trend direction/strength.
The way they are used in this strategy is such that:
- We only want to enter a position if at least 2 out of 3 SuperTrends are on our side.
- 3/3 SuperTrends on our side is the best case, since we are taking trades WITH momentum/price strength.
- The second farthest SuperTrend from entry price is used as a Stop Loss
SuperTrend being on our side is not the only requirement for an entry however. The probability of success is increased with SuperTrend, and a longer EMA on our side, but we want to be sure that we aren't getting in too late/after the movement has already happened.
So we use Stoch RSI to pick our entries where price is oversold/overbought and reversing. That means the Stoch RSI is above 80, or below 20, and our indication to enter the trade is when the 2 lines cross/begin reversing direction.
So with trend direction on our side, we can get really good entries at these oversold/overbought extremes, especially as it's reversing (Stoch RSI K and D are crossing). This allows us to use the SuperTrend as a support/stop loss on our entry since price should be above it.
Then we just target 1.5x our max loss so that even if we only win 50% of the time, we still make a profit.
The explicit rules of this strategy are as follows:
=== Rules ===
long only
- price above EMA200
short only
- price below EMA200
Stop Loss = 2nd SuperTrend line above (short) or below(long) entry candle
Profit = 1.5x SL/risk (Profit Ratio x Max Loss)
=== Entry Setup ===
LONG
- Stoch RSI below 20, cross up
- at least 2 SuperTrend lines below close
SHORT
- Stoch RSI above 80, cross down
- at least 2 SuperTrend lines above close
P.S. Special thanks to Trade Pro for producing so many quality videos, putting strategy claims to the test, and providing me with so many good ideas I apply to my own strategies.
Simple way to BEAT the market [STRATEGY]This script has been created to demonstrate the effectiveness of using market regime filters in your trading strategy, and how they can improve your returns and lower your drawdowns
This strategy adds a simple filter (A historical volatility percentile filter, an implementation of which can be found on my trading profile) to a traditional buy and hold strategy of the index SPY.
Note, There are other filters that could also be added including a long-term moving average/percentile rank filter/ADX filter etc, to improve the returns further.
The filter closes our long position during periods of volatility that exceed the 95th percentile (or in the top 5% of volatile days) and buys back when the volatility is below 95% rank of the past 100 days
Have included the backtest results since 1993 which is 28 years of data at the time of writing. Comparison of traditional buy and hold with this modified strategy can be found below:
Traditional buy and hold:
Return per year: 7.95 % (ex Dividends)
Total return: 851.1 %
Max drawdown: 50.79 %
'Modified' buy and hold (this script):
Return per year: 9.92 % (ex Dividends)
Total return: 1412.2 %
Max drawdown: 31.57 %
Feel free to use some of the market filters in my trading profile to improve and refine your strategies further, or make a copy and play around with the code yourself. This is just a simple example for demo purposes.
Patient Volatility SniperThis strategy waits for moments of high volatility where an asset is significantly overbought/oversold and makes very short trades.
When the indicator line spikes, it means the script sees a "window of opportunity." However, it will only enter a position if the underlying oscillators are overbought/oversold as determined by the threshold you set.
It does not produce a particularly gaudy net profit compared to many other strategies and can go weeks without making a trade. However, since the win/loss ratio tends to be consistently favorable (based on backtests: see below) it may be useful as a supplement to more "active" trading strategies.
I backtested it over the last year or so with a handful of different altcoins (specifically: ETH, ADA, DOT, XLM, VET, ZEC, and OMG), and it seems fairly robust. Please keep in mind that past results do not guarantee future success. Feel free to confirm the backtesting for yourself, especially as it may change in the future after this was written.
USAGE NOTE: If you have access to custom timeframes on tradingview, I strongly recommend using this strategy on charts in the range of 10m to 12m. In practice, there's not much of a difference, but I did optimize it for those slightly shorter timeframes. There are a handful of tickers for which it does not seem to work very well once you go up to 15m (notably, as of the time of publishing, DOGE).
Commission fee included because not doing so is unrealistic.
[KL] Bollinger bands + RSI StrategyThis strategy is based on two of my previous scripts, one called “RSI14 + 10”; the other one called “Bollinger Bands Consolidation”. At its core, it combines the main setups from each of those two scripts but excludes the auxiliary features that were considered as experimental. This strategy will identify periods of squeeze, and then enter long during consolidation with a trailing stop loss set.
Primary indicator will be the Bollinger Bands. By comparing the width of the BBs with the ATR of the same lookback period (i.e. 2 standard deviations of the 20 recent closing prices vs ATR(20) x2), we begin to look for confirmation for entry whenever the standard deviation of prices is less than the ATR. This can be seen visually in the plots (i.e. default gray lines representing ATRx2 relative to BB center line).
Confirmation for entry will be the RSIs (slow-14, and fast-10). If both are upward sloping, then we assume prices are in an uptrend and may eventually break above upper band. RSIs are typically in mid-range when prices are consolidating, therefore no need to measure it.
Exits will happen in two cases, (1) when trailing stop loss hits, or (2) when RSIs signal that the instrument is overbought. No. 1 is self-explanatory. No. 2 happens, when RSI14 reaches above 70 (can be changed), followed by RSI10 catching up and surpassing RSI14.
Moving Average ScalperThe main goal of a scalping strategy is to open and close trades frequently, profiting from small gains and limiting the downside risk.
This strategy, on average, manages to close trades within one day, meaning that you are not exposed to the risk of holding that coin for long. In this way, market conditions affect much less the overall performance of the trading system.
The setup of this strategy uses four moving averages combined with an unconventional approach. On one side, the strategy aims to catch assets trading in a downtrend but on the verge of a possible reversal. Then, the goal of the trading strategy is not to ride the eventual uptrend but to close the trade with minimal profit so that it can scan the market for a new opportunity again.
ENTRY
The buy order is placed on assets that most likely are about to have at least a short-term "relief rally." To capture this setup, the strategy buys when
the MA9 crosses above the MA50
the MA50 is lower than the MA100
the MA100 is lower than the MA200
EXIT
The trading system closes the trade when the MA9 crosses above the MA200, which could be the first major resistance the asset faces before developing a more sustained uptrend.
As a reminder, the goal of the strategy is not to catch the whole upside of the asset but has a more conservative approach. This allows keeping the risk of the strategy low.
Pro tip: The 15-min time frame has proven to return the best results on average. The strategy can work well also in the 5-min time frame.
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.

Multiband - Market TimerThis strategy is made for market timing in the bull markets. Hence, more ideal to use it with index ETFs or high conviction large caps.
This makes use of different custom indicators:
Multi Band Channel - Overbought/Oversold Oscillator
VixFix Linear regression
Regular Linear Regression.
Multi Band Oscillator is used for identifying overbought/oversold state of the instrument. This is used in conjunction with VIXFix Linear Regression to to find market bottoms for entry conditions.
Few parameters are explained below:
CheckBandDistance - If checked checks for narrow bands and ignore signals when crossover happens in narrow bands.
ConsiderOversoldDaysCounter/ConsiderOverboughtDaysCounter - If checked, considers oversold and overbought crossovers only if instrument stays in oversold/overbought state for that many bars.
UseLinearRegressionToOpen/UseLinearRegressionToClose - If checked, combines linear regression along with overbought/oversold condition for entry and exits.
UseVixFixToOpen - Uses VixFixLinear regression to identify market bottom and this condition will be combined with oversold/overbought state. When using VixFixLinearRegression signal, we can allow generating entry signals during non crossover bars. Vix Fix Entry Range sets the max bar for multi band state to be for generating signal. For example, if Vix Fix Entry Range is set to oversold, signal is generated based on VixFix if price is below oversold.
ExitStrategy - This can be trailing/reversal or combined. If set to reversal, exit will happen on state moving out of oversold region. If set to Trailing, stop will be based on trailing stops. Indicator shows what is the present stop value. If set to combined, exit will happen on stages. 30% of the remaining position gets closed upon reversals. State may go into oversold and return back many times before having full exit. If this happens, each time, 30% of the position will be closed. Full position closure happens on hitting training stop.
Candles are colored based on linear regression.
Green -> positive and moving up
Lime -> Positive moving down
Orange -> Negative moving up
Red -> Negative moving down
Purple -> Possible VixFix peak - aka Market bottom

I have not put additional indicators to identify trend. But, can be combined with higher timeframe trend filters to generate better signals. Making this as invite only script as I find it very lucrative to time index ETFs. Please PM me if you want to try this script.

BNBUSD 1 Minute Chart / 1 Hour BBand Day Trading 3Commas*** As always, this is provided for educational purposes only and I am not an investment advisor; I'm just a guy who likes to come up with novel ideas and share them with other traders so they can learn. ***
This strategy is a fun one. I took parts of 'Bollinger Awesome Alert R1 by JustUncleL' () and modified it to have enhanced day trading functionality. This version does not show source and that is by design - I want the alerts to be visible to the public and if you want to get set up with a version that integrates with 3commas, drop me a message - there's a lot more that goes into setting up automated 3commas trading but this script was written specifically with 3commas in mind.
It's possible this is one of the more interesting strategy indicators I've made. The setup I used for this is as such and you will need to set it up the same way:
One minute chart for the BNB/USD(T) pair on Binance.us (other exchanges will likely work, other coin pairs or other time frames will likely not)
This script watches the one minute chart and when price golden crosses the lower Bollinger band, a buy order is placed.
There are two sell conditions; one I set up to take profit and one I designed as a kind of stop loss. I went with a flat 7.5% for the take profit as this showed the best results in the backtester. I had planned for it to be closer to 3% but for this strategy to work it needs to be higher. According to the backtest it offers around double the return of buying and holding BNB over the sample timeframe.
The 'stop loss' condition is where the fun lies. I transposed Bollinger bands from a one hour BNBUSD Binance.us chart on top of the 1 minute chart and those are the blue lines you see. The stop loss condition happens when the current price death crosses the bottom one hour Bollinger band. Ironically, often this doesn't result in any losses as you will see in the chart and instead results in a small win. This definitely was not my intention when I created it but it's a lot better than the earlier version where I set up a variable percentage-based stop loss. Even with me optimizing the regular stop loss for this coin pair, my 1 hour bband method nets an extra 2% profit over the same two week time period, even with Binance fees factored in!
Have fun and like I said, hmu via message if you want access to the customizable indicator for 3commas!
High Low Reversal This bot makes use of an algorithm which detects new highs and lows. When doing long trades, the bot will trigger a buy order on a newly made low. When making shorts, the bot will trigger a short trade on new highs.
Currently, the bot is optimized for cryptocurrencies on the M15 time frame. With the right amount of leverage and portfolio optimization this bot can obtain very strong results.
Feel free to optimize it to your own liking on different assets and/or time frames.
This bot performs exceptionally well in trending markets. Currently, it's only making long trades, but you can make it do short trades in the control panel.
The settings of the back test as follows:
starting capital = 100k
leverage = 1
commission = 0.2%
Equity per trade = 50%. Since the bot only makes one trade at a time you can allow it to use a bigger portion of your balance per trade.
I've also made a study-script for easy implementation on the exchange. You get that script once you get access to this bot.

VixFixLinReg-StrategyThis idea came up while discussing about strategies with one of the trading enthusiast from tradingview community.
Strategy basically uses existing script of Vix Fix by Chris Moody:
VixFix is a great indicator for finding the market bottoms. But, sometimes it generates signal too early. But, we can apply linear regression on vix fix to find vix fix top to make timing much better.
Entry condition:
Wait for Vix fix bar to turn lime.
Once vix fix is turned lime, then wait for linear regression (shown below 0) to turn lime from green. This indicates VIX-Fix has started declining.
Go long once above two conditions are satisfied
Exit Condition:
ATR Based Stop
Applied only if linear regression is green - which means VixFix rising.
Note: This is ideal for identifying market bottom. May not yield good results on individual stocks.
Bollinger Blast Buy Unholy GrailThis strategy copy the Nick Radge's trading ideas for a profitable systems. He mentions a Bollinger Band idea which is also published in his book Unholy Grails. Nick says:
he strategy that we did test and showed very promising results was an entry using a Bollinger band and an exit using the opposite Bollinger band, but we use 3 standard deviations for the entry and 1 standard deviation for the exit, just to keep the trailing stop a little bit tighter.”
Entry: Buy on the Open the day after a stock closes above the top Bollinger Band
Exit: Exit on the Open the day after a stock closes below the lower Bollinger Band
Results tested on Nasdaq market are very good and better than simply buy& hold

Reversal with Bollinger Bands + RSI + ADX + ATR (Upgraded)Hi,
Welcome to my 4th script.
Someone asked me some questions about the Bollinger Band strategy I previously published. When I went back to my published script I couldn't help myself but simply try and make it better. Which I did.
Since I've published that script, I've gained much more knowledge about how Pinescript functions. As well as gaining more and more knowledge about how the markets are structered etc.
In this reversal script we use 4 indicators to determine good entry signals, we determine whether the market is ranging or trending and we still only want to take trades in the direction of the "trend".
Bollinger Bands are used for our entry signal. When price hits either side of the band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we enter a position.
RSI is used to determine if we're in a trending market or in a ranging market. You can adjust the values in the inputs. You can determine the minimum RSI value and the maximum RSI value.
ADX is used the same way as RSI, you can adjust the value in the inputs. You can determine the minimum ADX value.
Last but not least we use two EMA's, a 200 EMA and 100 EMA. Both are adjustable through the inputs. I used two EMA's because I noticed when using this strategy that we'd enter a new position often after having a bad trade. Using two EMA's might clean up some signals, in my case with EUR/USD on a 15m timeframe, it didn't clean up enough signals.
All the default values are pretty decent but might require some finetuning on a certain instrument. Don't overfit the strategy though, that'll only give you bad signals in the future.
Then we are off to our exit signals.
Initially I wanted to incorporate my previous Bollinger Band exit signals as well, but it was too much of a hassle to make the script work as intended so I left it out. If you want to use those exit signals, just find my other script.
When we're in a position and price crosses the opposite band, we wait for a reverse candlestick before we exit the position.
Additionally we want our losses to be as small as possible, so we use RSI to signal us when the market is, or starts to, trend against us. This is where you use the minimum and maximum exit values. So when RSI crosses over or under that value, it'll exit the position.
Furthermore, we use the ATR indicator to set our stop loss, which is pretty basic stuff. You can adjust the ATR multiplier in the inputs. Disabling "Use Trailing Stop?" is really inadvisable unless you know this script inside out as your only exit signals will be opposite Bollinger Band Cross and RSI overbought / oversold areas.

[KL] Bollinger Bands Consolidation StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position based on the volatility of prices implied by indicators of (a) Bollinger bands, and (b) ATR.
Application of Bollinger bands ("BOLL")
Using plain vanilla settings for BOLL (i.e. 20 period moving average, and 2 standard deviations of closing prices), we are interested to know about the shape of the area that is bounded by the upper and lower bands.
In theory, consolidation happens when volatility of price decreases. Visually speaking, this is represented by the narrowing of the upper/lower bands. This strategy considers the narrowing of BOLL bands as the primary indicator for long-entry.
Application of ATRs (as confirmations)
Firstly, to confirm that BOLL bands are narrowing (as mentioned above), the ATR at a potential point of entry is compared against the standard deviation of prices over BOLL's lookback periods. Once again, visualizing the shape of BOLL bands during consolidation, we assume the lines begin to squeeze when the distance between the center line and upper/lower band is less than two current ATRs.
Secondly, this strategy looks into the moving average of ATRs to assure that prices are not too choppy when entering into market. If the moving average of ATR decreases at a point in time such that all the above conditions are met, then we can assert that the volatility of price is decreasing.
Thirdly, ATR is used for determining the size of our trailing stop loss. We will keep the multiplier fixed at two.
