SOFEX High-End Indicators + BacktestingBINANCE:BTCUSDT.P BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P
Introducing the first publicly available suite of indicators for Bitcoin and Ethereum by Sofex - the High-End Indicators & Backtesting System.
🔬 Trading Philosophy
The High-End Indicators & Backtesting system offers both trend-following and mean-reversal algorithms to provide traders with a deep insight into the highly volatile cryptocurrency markets, known for their market noise and vulnerability to manipulation.
With these factors in mind, our indicators are designed to sidestep most potentially false signals. This is facilitated further by the "middle-ground" time frame (1 Hour) we use. Our focus is on the two largest cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin and Ethereum , which provide high liquidity, necessary for reliable trading.
Therefore, we recommend using our suite on these markets.
The backtesting version of the Sofex High-End Indicators includes mainly trend-following indicators. This is because our trading vision is that volatility in cryptocurrency markets is a tool that should be used carefully, and many times avoided. Furthermore, mean-reversal trading can lead to short-term profits, but we have found it less than ideal for long-term trading.
The script does not aim to make a lot of trades, or to always remain in a position and switch from long to short. Many times there is no direction and the market is in "random walk mode", and chasing trades is futile.
Based on our experience, it is preferable if traders remain neutral the majority of the time and only enter trades that can be exited in the foreseeable future. Trading just for the sake of it ultimately leads to loss in the long-run.
Expectations of performance should be realistic.
We also focus on a balanced take-profit to stop-loss ratio. In the default set-up of the script, that is a 2% : 2% (1:1) ratio. A relatively low stop loss and take profit build onto our idea that positions should be exited promptly. There are many options to edit these values, including enabling trailing take profit and stop loss. Traders can also completely turn off TP and SL levels, and rely on opposing signals to exit and enter new trades.
Extreme scenarios can happen on the cryptocurrency markets, and disabling stop-loss levels completely is not recommended. The position size should be monitored since all of it is at risk with no stop-loss.
We take pride in presenting this comprehensive suite of trading indicators, designed for both manual and automated use. Although automated use leads to increased efficiency, traders are free to incorporate any of our indicators into their own manual trading strategy.
⚙️ Indicators
By default, all indicators are enabled for both Long and Short trades.
Extreme Trend Breakouts
The Extreme Trend Breakouts indicator seeks to follow breakouts of support and resistance levels, while also accounting for the unfortunate fact that false signals can be generated on these levels. The indicator combines trend-breakout strategies with various other volatility and direction measurements. It works best in the beginning of trends.
Underpinning this indicator are renowned Perry Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Averages (PKAMA) alongside our proprietary adaptive moving averages. These dynamic indicators adjust their parameters based on recent price movements, attempting to catch trends while maintaining consistent performance in the long run.
In addition, our modification of the TTM Squeeze indicator further enhances the Extreme Trend Breakouts indicator, making it more responsive, especially during the initial stages of trends and filtering of "flat" markets.
High-Volatility Trend Follower
The High-Volatility Trend Follower indicator is based around the logic of evading market conditions where volatility is low (choppy markets) and aggressively following confirmed trends. The indicator works best during strong trends, however, it has the downside of entering trades at trend tops or bottoms.
This indicator also leverages our proprietary adaptive moving averages to identify and follow high-volatility trends effectively. Furthermore, it uses the Average Directional Index, Aroon Oscillator, ATR and a modified version of VWAP, to categorize trends into weak or strong ones. The VWAP indicator is used to identify the monetary (volume) inflow into a given trend, further helping to avoid short-term manipulations.
Low-Volatility Reversal
The Low-Volatility Reversal aims at plugging the holes that trend-following indicators ignore. It specifically looks for choppy markets. Using proven concepts such as Relative Strength Index and volume measurements, among others, this indicator finds local tops and bottoms with good accuracy. It works best in choppy markets with low to medium volatility. It has a downside that all reversals have, losing trades at the end of choppy markets and in the beginning of big trends.
This indicator, like the others, employs PKAMA in conjunction with our proprietary adaptive moving averages, and an Average PSAR indicator to seek out "sideways" markets. Furthermore, Bollinger Bands with an adaptive basis line is used, with the idea of trading against the short-term trends by looking at big deviations in price movement. The above mentioned indicators attempt to catch local tops and bottoms in markets.
Adaptive Trend Convergence
The Adaptive Trend Convergence aims at following trends while avoiding entering positions at local bottoms and tops. It does so by comparing a number of adaptive moving averages and looking for convergence among them. Adaptive filtering techniques for avoiding choppy markets are also used.
This indicator utilizes our proprietary adaptive moving averages, and an Average Price Range indicator to identify trend convergence and divergence effectively, preventing false signals during volatile market phases. It also makes use of Bollinger Bands with an adaptive moving average basis line and price-action adjusted deviation. Contrasting to the Low-Volatility Reversal condition described above, the Bollinger Bands used here attempt to follow breakouts outside of the lower and upper bands.
Double-Filtered Channel Breakouts
The Double-Filtered Channel Breakouts indicator is made out of adaptive channel-identifying indicators. The indicator then follows trends that significantly diverge from the established channels. This aims at following extreme trends, where rapid, continuous movements in either direction occur. This indicator works best in very strong trends and follows them relentlessly. However, these strong trends can end in strong reversals, and the indicator can be stopped out on the last trade.
Our Double-Filtered Channel Breakouts indicator is built on a foundation of adaptive channel indicators. We've harnessed the power of Keltner Channels and Bollinger Band Channels, with a similar approach used in the Adaptive Trend Convergence indicator. The basis and upper/lower bands of the channels do not rely on fixed deviation parameters, rather on adaptive ones, based on price action and volatility. This combination seeks to identify and follows extreme trends.
Direction Tracker
The Direction Tracker indicator is made out of a central slower, adaptive moving average that clearly recognizes global, long-term trends. Combined with direction and range indicators, among others, this indicator excels at finding the long-term trend and ignoring temporary pullbacks in the opposite direction. It works best at the beginning and middle of long and strong trends. It can fail at the end of trends and on very strong historical resistance lines (where sharp reversals are common).
Our Direction Tracker indicator integrates an adaptive SuperTrend indicator into its core, alongside our proprietary adaptive moving averages, to accurately identify and track long-term trends while mitigating temporary pullbacks. Furthermore, it uses Average True Range, ADX and other volatility indicators to attempt to catch unusual moves on the market early-on.
📟 Parameters Menu
To offer traders flexibility, our system comes with a comprehensive parameter menu:
Preset Selection : Choose between Bitcoin or Ethereum presets to tailor the indicators to your preferred cryptocurrency market.
Global Signal Direction: Set the global signal direction as Long, Short, or Both, depending on your trading strategy.
Global Sensitivity Parameter : Adjust the system's sensitivity to adapt to different trend-following conditions, particularly beneficial during higher-strength trends.
Source of Signals : Toggle individual indicators on or off according to your preference. By default, all indicators are enabled. Customize the indicators to trade Long, Short, or Both, aligning them with your desired market exposure.
Confirmation of Signals : Set the minimum number of confirmed signals on the same bar, ensuring signals are generated only when specific confirmation criteria are met. The default value is one, and it can be adjusted for both Long and Short signals.
Exit of Signals : You have options regarding Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels. Enable TP/SL levels to exit trades at predetermined levels, or disable them to rely on direction changes for exits. Be aware that removing stop losses can introduce additional risk, and position sizing should be carefully monitored.
By enabling Trailing TP/SL, the system switches to a trailing approach, allowing you to:
- Place an initial customizable SL.
- Specify a level (%) for the Trailing SL to become active.
- When the activation level is reached, the system moves the trailing stop by a given Offset (%).
Additionally, you can enable exit at break-even, where the system places an exit order when the trail activation level is reached, accounting for fees and slippage.
Alert Messages : Define the fields for alert messages based on specific conditions. You can set up alerts to receive email, SMS, and in-app notifications. If you use webhooks for alerts, exercise caution, as these alerts can potentially execute trades without human supervision.
Backtesting : Default backtesting parameters are set to provide realistic backtesting performance:
- 0.04% Commission per trade (for both entries and exits)
- 3 ticks Slippage (highly dependent on exchange)
- Initial capital of $1000
- Order size of $1000
While the order size is equal to the initial capital, the script employs a 2% stop-loss order to limit losses and attempts to prevent risky trades from creating big losses. The order size is a set dollar value, so that the backtesting performance is linear, instead of using % of capital which may result in unrealistic backtesting performance.
Risk Disclaimer
Please be aware that backtesting results, while valuable for statistical overview, do not guarantee future performance in any way. Cryptocurrency markets are inherently volatile and risky. Always trade responsibly and do not risk more than you can afford to lose.

SOFEX Strong Volatility Trend Follower + BacktestingWhat is the SOFEX Strong Volatility Trend Follower + Backtesting script?
🔬 Trading Philosophy
This script is trend-following, attempting to avoid choppy markets.

⚙️ Logic of the indicator
The Strong Volatility Trend Follower indicator aims at evading ranging market conditions. It does not seek to chase volatile, yet choppy markets. It aims at aggressively following confirmed trends. The indicator works best during strong, volatile trends, however, it has the downside of entering trades at trend tops or bottoms.
This indicator also leverages proprietary adaptive moving averages to identify and follow strong trend volatility effectively. Furthermore, it uses the Average Directional Index, Awesome Oscillator, ATR and a modified version of VWAP, to categorize trends into weak or strong ones. The VWAP indicator is used to identify the monetary (volume) inflow into a given trend, further helping to avoid short-term manipulations. It also helps to distinguish choppy-market volatility with a trending market one.
📟 Parameters Menu

Back Week For BacktestIt is Backtest Calculator For Essential and Plus plan holders, the length of available intraday data is calculated as follows: from now to 6 weeks back multiplied by timeframe(in minutes), i.e. you can go 6 weeks back on the 1-minute chart, 12 weeks back on the 2-minute chart, 30 weeks back on the 5-minute chart, 90 weeks back on the 15-minute chart and so on. The higher timeframe is selected, the more intraday data is available.
This show creates a weekday label based on the data in the plans allowed by TradingView. This show creates a weekday label based on the data in the plans allowed by TradingView. How much data is available for Bar Replay? According to the article, we can replay 6 weeks backwards for a 1-minute chart. This indicator is a label that shows how far we can go back, consisting of multiplying each minute by 6 between 1 minute and 60 minutes.
1 minute => 6 week backtest
2 minutes => 12 week backtest
.....
15 minutes => 90 week backtest
...
59 minutes => 354 week backtest
Replica of TradingView's Backtesting Engine with ArraysHello everyone,
Here is a perfectly replicated TradingView backtesting engine condensed into a single library function calculated with arrays. It includes TradingView's calculations for Net profit, Total Trades, Percent of Trades Profitable, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown (absolute and percent), and Average Trade (absolute and percent). Here's how TradingView defines each aspect of its backtesting system:
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss achieved.
Total Trades: The total number of closed trades, winning and losing.
Percent Profitable: The percentage of winning trades, the number of winning trades divided by the total number of closed trades.
Profit Factor: The amount of money the strategy made for every unit of money it lost, gross profits divided by gross losses.
Max Drawdown: The greatest loss drawdown, i.e., the greatest possible loss the strategy had compared to its highest profits.
Average Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade, Net Profit divided by the overall number of closed trades.
Here's how each variable is defined in the library function:
_backtest(bool _enter, bool _exit, float _startQty, float _tradeQty)
bool _enter: When the strategy should enter a trade (entry condition)
bool _exit: When the strategy should exit a trade (exit condition)
float _startQty: The starting capital in the account (for BTCUSD, it is the amount of USD the account starts with)
float _tradeQty: The amount of capital traded (if set to 1000 on BTCUSD, it will trade 1000 USD on each trade)
Currently, this library only works with long strategies, and I've included a commented out section under DEMO STRATEGY where you can replicate my results with TradingView's backtesting engine. There's tons I could do with this beyond what is shown, but this was a project I worked on back in June of 2022 before getting burned out. Feel free to comment with any suggestions or bugs, and I'll try to add or fix them all soon. Here's my list of thing to add to the library currently (may not all be added):
Add commission calculations.
Add support for shorting
Add a graph that resembles TradingView's overview graph.
Clean and optimize code.
Clean up in a way that makes it easy to add other TradingView calculations (such as Sharpe and Sortino ratio).
Separate all variables, so they become accessible outside of calculations (such as gross profit, gross loss, number of winning trades, number of losing trades, etc.).

MACD With Trend Filter: Visual Backtest Module TemplateSample Strategy: MACD Crossover with trend filter options
MA Filter : Price Close Above MA, Search for Buy, Price Close Below MA, Search for Sell
ADX Filter : Take trade only when ADX is above certain treshold
MACD Signal : MACD Cross above signal line while under 0 line indicate Buy Signal
MACD Cross below signal line while above 0 line indicate Sell Signal
-----------------------------
Using Alert Module:
Enable Alert --> Enable TV's alert and plot signal to chart
Alert Type --> Set to take Buy only, Sell only or Both alert
----------------------------
Using Backtest Module:
Enable Backtest --> Enable Backtest simulation
Backtest Type --> Set to take Buy only, Sell only or Both
SL Type -->
ATR : Set SL in ATR times Multiplier below/above entry price
Fixed : Set SL in fixed point below entry point (in 'Dollar'). e.g. for Stocks -> 0.5 equals to 50cent while for EURUSD currency -> 0.005 equal to 50 pips
HiLo Bar : Set SL at highest/lowest wick of previous bar plus/minus Fixed point. e.g. EURUSD HiLo=3 and Fixed Point = 0.0005, buy trade will place SL 5 Pips below lowest of previous 3 bar
SL ATR Period --> Set Lookback Period used for SL's ATR calculation
SL ATR Multi --> Set ATR Multiplier for SL
SL Fixed --> Set Fixed Level for SL (Use when SL Type is either Fixed or HiLo Bar)
SL Bar --> Set Number of previous bar to check for SL placement
TP RR Ratio --> Set TP based on RR multiplier. e.g. 2 means TP level will be twice further from entry point compared to Entry-SL distance.
Notes: The point is for preliminary testing, so it only supports 1 trade at a time and no Trailing Stop
----------------------------
Disclaimer:
This script main objective is to create my personal indicator template so that i just have to modify the indicator module for preliminary testing in future.
Testing Alert Module so i can re-use it as template in future study/indicator
Testing Visual Backtest Module so i can re-use it as template in future study/indicator
i believe using Strategy function is a better approach for this but the entry/exit level seems to be hit n miss (at least for me, still trying to figure what i did wrong)
also, i rather code the strategy in other platform where i can use the more accurate tick data if i want to validate backtest statistics.
My study scripts was built only to test/visualize an idea to see its viability and if it can be used to optimize existing strategy.
credit: ADX code are originally from "ADX and DI" by @BeikabuOyaji although i re-wrote so i can have cleaner read and use RMA instead of SMA
Cyatophilum Scalper [BACKTEST]This indicator comes with a backtest and alert version. This is the backtest version. Its purpose is to create low timeframe and scalping strategies, by choosing from a list of built-in entry points which are described in detail below, and by configuring a risk management system to your liking.
Before diving into the entry points, I will explain the strategy and risk management settings.
These 3 settings allow to choose your strategy direction, and main behavior.
- Go Long ↗: activate or deactivate long entry points.
- Go Short ↘: activate or deactivate short entry points.
- Reversal strategy ↗↘↗↘: Activate this option will allow trades to reverse position from an opposite entry point. Keep it deactivated and trades will either wait a TakeProfit(TP) or StopLoss(SL) to be closed. When neither SL nor TP or set, this option is automatically activated.
StopLoss settings:
Both Long and Short SL can be activated and configured.
The base % price is the starting point of the stoploss, in a percentage of current price.
Trailing stop, when activated, works with 2 settings:
- % Price to Trigger: a percentage of current price the price should move in a bar to trigger a trailing movement.
- % Price Movement: the stoploss variation in a percentage of current price that moves on each bar.
TakeProfit settings:
Both Long and Short TP can be activated and configured.
The base % price is the value of the TP, in a percentage of current price.
Trailing Profit Deviation %: Percent deviation for the trailing take profit.
DCA:
DCA stands for Dollar Cost Average. The idea is to open additional orders from the base order so as to improve risk management.
These additional orders are also called Safety Orders. The indicator can handle up to 9 safety orders.
The strategy will exit either from a take profit based on percentage from base order or from a total volume percentage (Configurable in the parameters).
The steps spacing (space between each step) and safety orders volume (order size) can both scale by adding a scale multiplier.
By choosing from the base strategy dropdown menu, the indicator will generate entry points.
1. BUY SELL:
-> Low timeframes spot trading, with simple buy and sell orders.
How it works:
The indicator used is a combination of QQE (Atr based trend following indicator) and RMA 100 trendline.
I think the QQE does a great job in low timeframes because it is not impacted by the noise.
The RMA which is the moving average used in the RSI, will help giving confirmation to the entry points.
How to use:
It is meant to be used as a reversal strategy, but you can add a TP or SL if you want.
When comparing to Buy & Hold, make sure to deactivate the "Short results in the backtest" setting.
2. TREND SCALPING
-> A strategy for low timeframes trading.
How it works:
The strategy creates high volatility entries filtered by a duo convergence of adaptive trendlines (Adaptive HULL MA using the chart's resolution, Adaptive Tilson T3 using 1H resolution) and a higher timeframe (1H) RSI filter (long threshold: 70, short threshold: 40, RSI length: 10).
How to use:
Must be used on charts with a resolution smaller than 1H. Recommended: from 1m to 30m.
Must NOT be used as reversal strategy. Use it with a take profit and stop loss, and DCA if you can.
Sample risk management settings:
3. Support/Resistance BREAKOUTS
-> Trade low timeframes pivot points breakouts.
How it works:
The indicator calculates the 100 previous bars swing high and low. Any break above high or below low will trigger an entry point.
The entry is however filtered by an Adaptive Tilson T3 Trendline, an ADX 30 minimum threshold and a minimum average volume threshold.
How to use:
I recommend to click "Reversal" Strategy and set a Takeprofit target.
Find the best timeframe between 1m and 30m using the backtest version.
Example here with BTCUSDTPERP on 15m:
4. AGGRESSIVE SCALPING
-> Lots of trades in low timeframes.
How it works:
Created using Cyato AI, Higher/Lower Highs and Lows and 2 HULLMA crosses as entries, and 2 Adaptive Tilson T3 as trendfilter, a 25 ADX threshold filter and a volume filter.
How to use:
Recommended Risk Management settings: Takeprofit, Stoploss and DCA (Safety orders).
Find which timeframe work the best from 30 min and below. Should not be used above 30 min since this is the resolution for the MTF Tilson.
How to create Strategy Alerts:
Write your alert messages for EXIT, LONG and SHORT orders in the settings (Backtest section).
Then click add alert, and in the alert message, write the following:
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}

Cyatophilum Bands Pro Trader V3 [BACKTEST]An Original Automated Strategy that can be used for Manual or Bot Trading, on any timeframe and market.
>> Presentation <<
How it works
No, these are NOT Bollinger Bands..
The Cyatophilum Bands are an original formula that I created. You will probably never find it anywhere else.
Their behavior is the following:
When they are horizontal it means the trend is going sideways and they represent supports (lower band) and resistances (upper band).
When they are climbing or falling it means the trend is either bullish or bearish and they represent Trend Lines.
The strategy enters Long on a Bull Breakout and enters Short on a Bear Breakout.
The exits are triggered either on a Trend Reversal, a Stop Loss or a Take Profit.

Finding a profitable configuration is GUARANTEED
0. Choose your symbol and timeframe. Then add the Backtest version to your chart. If at any time you decide to change your timeframe, go back to step 1.
1. Open the strategy tester and look at the buy & hold line.
If it is mostly climbing (last value greater than 0) then it means we are in a bull market. You should then opt or a long only strategy.
If it is mostly dropping (last value lower than 0) then it means we are in a bear market. You should then opt or a short only strategy.
Note : This first step is really important. Trading against the market has very little chances to succeed.
2. Go into the Strategy Input Parameters:
check "Enable Long Results" and uncheck "Enable Short Results" if you are in a long only strategy.
check "Enable Short Results" and uncheck "Enable Long Results" if you are in a short only strategy.
3. Open the Strategy Tester and open the Strategy Properties.
We are going to find the base parameters for the Bands.
The "Bands Lookback" is the main parameter to configure for any strategy. It corresponds to how strong of a support and resistance the bands will behave. The lower the timeframe, the higher lookback you will need. It can move from 10 to 60. For example 60 is a good value for a 3 minute timeframe. Try different values, and look at the "net profit" value in the Overview tab of the Strategy Tester. Keep the Lookback value that shows the best net profit value.
Then play with the "Bands Smoothing" from 2 to 20 and keep the best net profit value.
The "Band Smoothing" is used to reduce noise.
Usually, the default value (10) is what gives the best results.
From this point you should already be able to have a profitable strategy (net profit>0), but we can improve it using the Stop Loss and the Take Profit feature.
4. To activate the Stop Loss feature, click on the "SECURITY" checkbox
You should see horizontal red lines appear.
A Long/short exit alert will be triggered if the price were to cross this line. (A red Xcross will appear)
Choose the Stop Loss percentage.
On top of that, you can enable the feature "Trailing Stop". It will make the red line follow the price, at a speed that you can configure with the "Trailing Speed" parameter.
Now, sometimes a stop is triggered and it was just a fakeout. You can enable "Re-entries after a stop" to avoid missing additional opportunities.
5. To activate the Take Profit feature, click on the "TAKE PROFIT" checkbox
You should see horizontal green lines appear.
A Long/short exit alert will be triggered if the price were to cross this line. (A flag will appear)
Choose the Take Profit percentage.
A low takeprofit will provide a safer strategy but can reduce potential profits.
A higher takeprofit will increase risk but can provide higher potential profits.
6. Money Management
You can configure the backtest according to your own money management.
Let's say you have 10 000 $ as initial capital and want to trade only 5%, set the Order Size to 5% of Equity.
You can increase net profit by increasing the order size but this is at your own risk.
How to create alerts explained here
Sample Uses Cases
Use it literally anywhere
This indicator can be used on any timeframe and market (not only cryptocurrencies).
About the Backtest below
The Net Profit (Gross profit - Gross loss) is calculated with a commission of 0.05% on each order.
No leverage used. This is a long strategy.
Each trade is made with 10 % of equity from an inital capital of 10 000$. The net profit can be bigger by increasing the % of equity but this a trader's rule to minimise the risk.

Strange RSI (sRSI) Backtesting strategyThis is the backtesting strategy module for my Strange RSI (sRSI) oscillator. The main scheme is grounded on setting up a long strategy for RSI crossing above a certain number, and shorting when RSI crosses below a certain number. This module allows you to:
*change these crossing thresholds
*change the Take Profit limits for long and short strategies
*change the RSI length
In this way, you may optimize to the parameters which fit best to your goals.
[NLX] Trading Engine (Backtest+Alerts) [Beta]This is a different version of my backtest module, which will be a fully featured alert and backtest tool.
The new strategy alerts will be integrated so we don't require 2 different scripts anymore. All in one.
There are no stop mechanism in this version. The entry and exit signal has to come from your indicator (you can set the signal values yourself).

Signal for Backtesting-Trading Engine [PineCoders]This is a companion script to the PineCoders Backtesting-Trading Engine. It illustrates how to build a signal plot in another script, which can in turn be fed in the Engine to provide entry, exit, filter and stop information.
Connection to the Engine is done through its “External Indicator” input field at the very bottom of the Engine’s Settings/Inputs.
The Engine must be operating in study mode to be able to connect an external indicator to it.
The way this script builds the signal is straightforward, as you will see in the code. Two aspects are worth mentioning:
The “FudgeStop()” function used to fudge the stop value by one tick for the rare cases where it will match one of the protocol reserved values, i.e. 1, 2 or 3.
The priority and exclusivity given to the different types of signals in the signal-building “Signal = …” line. No two signals can be sent simultaneously through the signal plot, except for the entry and stop combination.
You can determine in this script’s Settings/Inputs the type of signals that will go through the signal plot.
This script respects the following protocol:
EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROTOCOL
Only one external indicator can be connected to a script; in order to leverage its use to the fullest, the engine provides options to use it as either an entry signal, an entry/exit signal or a filter. When used as an entry signal, you can also use the signal to provide the entry’s stop. Here’s how this works:
For filter state: supply +1 for bull (long entries allowed), -1 for bear (short entries allowed).
For entry signals: supply +2 for long, -2 for short.
For exit signals: supply +3 for exit from long, -3 for exit from short.
To send an entry stop level with an entry signal: Send positive stop level for long entry (e.g. 103.33 to enter a long with a stop at 103.33), negative stop level for short entry (e.g. -103.33 to enter a short with a stop at 103.33). If you use this feature, your indicator will have to check for exact stop levels of 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 and their negative counterparts, and fudge them with a tick in order to avoid confusion with other signals in the protocol.
Remember that mere generation of the values by your indicator will have no effect until you explicitly allow their use in the appropriate sections of the Engine’s Settings/Inputs.
Look first. Then leap.

Cyatophilum Bands Pro Trader [BACKTEST]A Multi Timeframe Indicator for trading cryptocurrency and other assets
Presentation Page
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator mainly consists of what I call "Cyatophilum Bands", who can be used as either Trend lines or Support/Resistance. The color indicates the current Trend. Buy and Sell signals trigger upon Trend Reversal Breakouts.
These alerts can be used with automated trading systems. They correspond to the big green and red triangles.
For daytraders, there is an option to activate Long and Short signals during a Trend. It can also be used as re-entry points if you missed a major breakout. They correspond to the small triangles.
If you trade BTCUSD, I created an option that will allow you to configure your script on any timeframe from 5M to 1D in one click.
If you do not trade BTCUSD, you can use a custom setup (See the Presentation Page )
This indicators also works on other assets such as Oil Futures or other cryptocurrency pairs such as ETH/BTC.
The script comes with two versions:
The alert Setup is used creating automated alerts
The Backtest Version that will help you see the results on past data. You can choose to enable or disable shorts results.
HOW TO USE
Once I granted you access, you will receive a notification. Add both indicators to the chart. Use the Backtest version to find the best configuration (BTCUSD is already pre-configured. I post configurations on my Discord Server, and you can ask me for help). Then apply this configuration to the Alert Setup script. Finally, create the alerts.
Before you ask, the script does not repaint. I made sure to not use the security function which I know is bugged right now.
