Ultimate Pullback Strategy

What is the Ultimate Pullback Strategy?

This strategy script is based on my Ultimate Pullback Indicator which detects pullback trading opportunities by analyzing price action in a very specific manner.

By combining simple trend filters with various advanced candlestick patterns it detects high-probability trend-continuation setups (and optional exits).

If you use this script to set alerts then you will never miss a pullback trading opportunity ever again!

I personally use this indicator to profitably trade pullback signals in the forex markets on multiple timeframes, from the 15-Minute chart to the 4-Hour and Daily chart.

Note: This strategy companion script is only available for subscribers of The Ultimate Pullback Indicator.

Notas de Lançamento:

-
- Fixed "Exit Reasons + Target" Bug
- Added "DEMA" Option
- Added Fixed Pip SL Option

I've also added a new setting - R:R To Trigger Exit.

Basically it works like this (for example) - if you set your regular R:R Target to 2:1, you set your Break-Even target to 1.5:1, and you set your R:R To Trigger Exit to 1:1, the script will perform like this:

- If price hits your stop loss it will be stopped out as per usual
- If price hits 1:1 it will begin searching for your selected exit reason(s)
- If price hits 1.5:1 it will move the theoretical stop loss to break-even
- If price hits 2:1 it will exit your trade for a profit regardless of the exit reason(s)

If you set R:R To Exit Trade to 0 it will disable that setting (it's disabled by default), and the script will only begin searching for an exit reason when your standard R:R under the Stops & Targets section is hit.

- Removed Stats Label as it has a display bug on the strategy version of this script for some reason
- Removed individual alert options from settings menu (they're now all listed under alert dialog)
- Added complete in-built AutoView automation functionality

To use AutoView alerts, make sure to set up the appropriate settings and then create an alert using "Any alert() function call". The script will then automate trade management based on however you've set up the script to behave.

For help with this, search "The Art Of Trading AutoView Guide" on YouTube. Enjoy :)

Notas de Lançamento:

- Updated version to 3.09 to match UPI script to keep versions consistent (no actual code changes as UPI bugfix update was unrelated to UPS)

Notas de Lançamento:

- Turned Bar Magnifier feature off by default as many users don't have a Premium plan which is currently required to use this feature, and we are getting a lot of support emails about it. But it is recommended to turn this ON in the Properties tab if you are a Premium user as it will increase the accuracy of your test results (not by a significant margin as it will only affect trades that hit their Take-Profit and Stop-Loss on the same bar which is a rare occurrence, but obviously when backtesting you want results to be as accurate as possible!)

Notas de Lançamento:

- Added PineConnector symbol override option (settings tooltip explains what it does). Leave blank to disable.

Notas de Lançamento:

- Cleaned up status bar user inputs and some plots using new display=display.none parameter
- Added (EXPERIMENTAL!) feature that makes the strategy tester calculate position size based on a % of your account balance. Only works on forex markets. The feature may not work on all markets (it was mainly tested using USD currency as the base broker currency and only on the major FX pairs), so use at your own risk and always take the time to ensure the numbers are accurate if you're trading more exotic instruments or base currencies.

Notas de Lançamento:

- Added "SL Rounding Fix" setting for non-FX markets that produce rounding errors for SL/TP pips (eg. stock indexes like NAS100)

Notas de Lançamento:

Added multi-strategy support for PineConnector.

Added "minimum SL distance" - allows user to ignore trades with a stop loss below this number in pips, or override the stop loss to this pip distance if it's below it.

Notas de Lançamento:

Forgot to update version number

Notas de Lançamento:

Removed indicator status line display for new minimum SL input (forgot to do this on last update - purely cosmetic, makes chart less cluttered and in line with the rest of the inputs)

Notas de Lançamento:

Fixed Max Candles Beyond EMA setting not applying correctly
