Octopus Nest Strategy Hello Fellas,
Hereby, I come up with a popular strategy from YouTube called Octopus Nest Strategy. It is a no repaint, lower timeframe scalping strategy utilizing PSAR, EMA and TTM Squeeze.
The strategy considers these market factors:
PSAR -> Trend
EMA -> Trend
TTM Squeeze -> Momentum and Volatility by incorporating Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels
Note: As you can see there is a potential improvement by incorporating volume.
What's Different Compared To The Original Strategy?
I added an option which allows users to use the Adaptive PSAR of @loxx, which will hopefully improve results sometimes.
Signals
Enter Long -> source above EMA 100, source crosses above PSAR and TTM Squeeze crosses above 0
Enter Short -> source below EMA 100, source crosses below PSAR and TTM Squeeze crosses below 0
Exit Long and Exit Short are triggered from the risk management. Thus, it will just exit on SL or TP.
Risk Management
"High Low Stop Loss" and "Automatic High Low Take Profit" are used here.
High Low Stop Loss: Utilizes the last high for short and the last low for long to calculate the stop loss level. The last high or low gets multiplied by the user-defined multiplicator and if no recent high or low was found it uses the backup multiplier.
Automatic High Low Take Profit: Utilizes the current stop loss level of "High Low Stop Loss" and gets calculated by the user-defined risk ratio.
Now, follows the bunch of knowledge for the more inexperienced readers.
PSAR: Parabolic Stop And Reverse; Developed by J. Welles Wilders and a classic trend reversal indicator.
The indicator works most effectively in trending markets where large price moves allow traders to capture significant gains. When a security’s price is range-bound, the indicator will constantly be reversing, resulting in multiple low-profit or losing trades.
TTM Squeeze: TTM Squeeze is a volatility and momentum indicator introduced by John Carter of Trade the Markets (now Simpler Trading), which capitalizes on the tendency for price to break out strongly after consolidating in a tight trading range.
The volatility component of the TTM Squeeze indicator measures price compression using Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. If the Bollinger Bands are completely enclosed within the Keltner Channels, that indicates a period of very low volatility. This state is known as the squeeze. When the Bollinger Bands expand and move back outside of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is said to have “fired”: volatility increases and prices are likely to break out of that tight trading range in one direction or the other. The on/off state of the squeeze is shown with small dots on the zero line of the indicator: red dots indicate the squeeze is on, and green dots indicate the squeeze is off.
EMA: Exponential Moving Average; Like a simple moving average, but with exponential weighting of the input data.
Don't forget to check out the settings and keep it up.
Best regards,
simwai

Single Swing Strategy (SSS)Introduction
The Single Swing Strategy (SSS) is a trading strategy designed for assets that trend. It utilises a single technical indicator to identify potential buying opportunities in upward-trending markets. The strategy focuses on moments when the price of an asset breaks out to a new high, suggesting a strong upward momentum.
Components
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): SSS uses two EMAs to evaluate the overall asset trend. SSS describes an uptrend as identified, when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and vice versa for a downtrend.
2. Breakout: The strategy validates the trend identified by the EMAs through breakouts in the price action of the asset over a specified lookback period. No indicator is required for this step.
3. Average Directional Index (ADX): The ADX is used to measure the strength of a trend. It does not indicate the trend's direction but rather its strength, whether it's an uptrend or downtrend. A high ADX value (typically above 25) suggests a strong trend, either up or down while a low ADX value (typically below 20) indicates a weak or non-trending market. The ADX itself is a moving average of the expanding range between the +DI and -DI.
4. Positive Directional Indicator (DI+): DI+ helps identify the presence and strength of uptrends. It is calculated based on the upward price movement between current and previous highs. A rising DI+ alongside a rising ADX suggests a strengthening uptrend. When DI+ crosses above DI-, it's often interpreted as a bullish signal.
5. Negative Directional Indicator (DI-): DI- is used to detect the presence and strength of downtrends.It is derived from the downward price movement between current and previous lows. An increasing DI- along with a rising ADX indicates a strengthening downtrend while a crossover of DI- above DI+ is typically seen as a bearish signal.
How it works
1. Regime filter with ADX, DI+, and DI-: The first step in taking a trade is to determine the direction of the trend using the +DI. If in an uptrend, the strategy checks if the ADX is above 25 to confirm a strong uptrend. -DI is not used since the strategy is long only. If in an uptrend and the trend is strong, trades can be opened.
2. Trend Identification with EMAs: Initially, the strategy uses two Exponential Moving Averages (fast and slow) to determine the asset trend. A fast EMA crossing above the slow EMA signifies an uptrend, and vice versa for a downtrend. This is the Entry signal to open a long position.
3. Trend Confirmation with Breakout: The strategy confirms the EMA-indicated trend through price breakouts over a specified lookback period. An EMA crossover without a price action breakout does not lead to an entry signal
4. Trade Management: After entering a trade, the strategy uses predefined levels for taking profit and setting stop losses. Trades are closed either when the price reaches the take-profit level or falls to the stop-loss level. Hence, risk management is built in.
Results
The backtest results can be found below. Initial capital of 10000 was used, this is a convenient amount for most retail traders, commission of $3 per order, position size of 3% of initial capital and slippage of 3 ticks. These are all representative of real world retail trading conditions.
Originality
The Single Swing Strategy (SSS)'s originality is in its blending of classical technical analysis; Trend Analysis through EMAs and Price Action through Breakout, into an innovative trading logic.
1. The Essence of Trend and Breakout in SSS
(i) Trend Recognition: At the heart of SSS is the Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). While the use of EMAs is common, SSS employs them for trend analysis so an entry decision can be made. The strategy's core algorithm assesses the inception of an upward trend by observing a specific crossing pattern of the EMAs, a moment where the asset's momentum shifts, offering a strategic advantage.
(ii) Breakout Significance: The strategy's reliance on price breakouts isn't just about identifying a new high; it's about understanding market psychology. A breakout beyond a previous high signals not only momentum but also a collective market sentiment that favors upward movement. SSS attempts to capture this momentum, translating it into a tangible trading opportunity.
(iii)Strength of trend: The ADX and +DI double checks the trend is in the right direction and checks to see if the trend is strong enough hence, it prevents trading when the trend is not supportive.
2. Simplicity as a Cornerstone
(i) Clarity and Efficiency: In the realm of algorithmic trading, complexity isn't always synonymous with effectiveness. SSS' simplicity ensures its logic is transparent and its execution, efficient. This simplicity is a strategic choice, designed to reduce overfitting to past data and improve adaptability to real-market conditions.
(ii) Ease of Use and Decision Making: The straightforward nature of SSS may empower traders to make informed decisions without being overwhelmed by convoluted indicators. This is particularly useful because of the embedding of risk management using defined exit points after entry through a Take Profit and Stop Loss. This hardcodes a 3:1 risk reward ratio into every trade.
3. Positive Expectancy
(i) Performance Metrics: The SSS strategy shows its edge in its backtesting results. A 62% win rate, a profit factor of 1.7, profit ratio of 1.05 and an average trade gain of 4.7% are not just numbers; they show the mathematical edge over the backtest period, especially considering the high commissions and slippage factored into its design.
Trading
The SSS strategy has been backtested on the 1D timeframe of BTCUSD but users are encouraged to try it on other assets such as SPXL (5min), AAPL (5min) and others but the appropriate timeframe and trading costs may vary.
NOTE
Like any trading strategy, SSS does not guarantee profits. It's a tool to assist in decision-making, not a foolproof solution. Trading involves risks, particularly in volatile markets. Users should trade responsibly, considering their risk tolerance and financial situation. While SSS automates some aspects of trading, it requires continuous monitoring and does not replace the need for sound judgement and decision-making by the trader.
LeafAlgo Premium Macro StrategiesA "macro score", as defined here, is created by giving various weights to different signals and adding them together to get one smooth score. Positive or negative values are assigned to each of the signals depending on if the statement is true or false (e.g. DPO > 0: +1, DPO < 0: -1). This manner of strategy allows for a subset of the available signals to be present at one time as opposed to every technical signal having to be active in order for a long/short signal to trigger.
This strategy contains SIX different macro score strategies -- "Base DFMA", "Base DFMG", "Ichimoku", "TSI", "Donchian DFMA", and "Donchian DFMG". These strategies have the signals and weights pre-determined in the code. The "Base DFMA" strategy is based on our Democratic Fibonacci Moving Average (DFMA) indicator; the "Donchian DFMA" is the same as the base DFMA strategy, but with a signal from our Donchian Cloud Score indicator as added confluence. The "Base DFMG" strategy is based on our Democratic Fibonacci McGinley Dynamics (DFMG) indicator; the "Donchian DFMG" is the same, but with the Donchian Cloud Score as added confluence. The "Ichimoku" strategy is based on the major sub-indicators found within an Ichimoku Cloud in addition to our Donchian Cloud Score. The "TSI" strategy is based on the True Strength Index.
The ability to select your strategy of choice can be found at the top of the strategy settings under "Strategy Options", then in the drop-down menu labeled "Strategy Choice".
The DFMA - Democratic Fibonacci Moving Average - is a separate indicator that we have released that takes 10 different Fibonacci MAs (lengths of 3 to 233, at Fibonacci intervals) and averages them to form the DFMA line. This helps by creating a consensus on the trend based on moving averages alone. Crossovers of the DFMA with the various Fib MA lengths as well as a cross of the price source and these lines can provide adequate long and short signals. In the two DFMA strategies, the heaviest weights have been given to crosses of the DFMA line/Fib MA (233) as well as the crosses of the Fib MA (3)/DFMA. Additionally, there are thresholds for DPO ( Detrended Price Oscillator , above or below 0), CMO ( Chande Momentum Oscillator , above or below 0), Jurik Volatility Bands (above or below 0), and Stoch RSI (above or below 50). These four signals hold a lighter weight than the MA cross signals. The macro score itself ranges between -10 and 10. In addition to the macro score line, a momentum line (sourced by the macro score itself) has been included. A crossover/crossunder of the macro score and the macro momentum line is included into the long/short signal syntax in addition to a threshold for the macro score.
The DFMG - Democratic Fibonacci McGinley Dynamics - is a separate indicator that we have released that takes 10 different Fibonacci McGinley Dynamic liness (lengths of 3 to 233, at Fibonacci intervals) and averages them to form the DFMG line. This helps by creating a consensus on the trend based on moving averages alone. Crossovers of the DFMG with the various Fib MG lengths as well as a cross of the price source and these lines can provide adequate long and short signals. This strategy has the signals and weights pre-determined in the code. Heaviest weights have been given to crosses of the DFMG line/ McGinley (233) as well as the crosses of the McGinley (3)/DFMG. Additionally, there are thresholds for DPO ( Detrended Price Oscillator , above or below 0), CMO ( Chande Momentum Oscillator , above or below 0), Jurik Volatility Bands (above or below 0), and Stoch RSI (above or below 50). These four signals hold a lighter weight than the McGinley cross signals. The macro score itself ranges between -10 and 10. In addition to the macro score line, a momentum line (sourced by the macro score itself) has been included. A crossover/crossunder of the macro score and the macro momentum line is included into the long/short signal syntax in addition to a threshold for the macro score.
For the Ichimoku macro score, five signals were considered and weighted equally:
- Kijun-sen < Ichimoku Source
- Tenkan-sen < Ichimoku Source
- Kijun-sen > Chikou-span
- Tenkan-sen > Kijun-sen
- Senkou Span A > Senkou Span B
In addition to these factors, the Ichimoku strategy utilizes the Donchian Cloud Score in the long and short entry signals. Thus, the Donchian Cloud settings are applicable to this strategy.
For the True Strength Index strategy, the heaviest weights have been given to various TSI signals, including a crossover/crossunder of TSI signal and TSI value, a threshold for the TSI Signal (above or below 0), and a crossover/crossunder of the CMO ( Chande Momentum Oscillator ) and the TSI signal line. Additionally, there are thresholds for DPO ( Detrended Price Oscillator , above or below 0), Jurik Volatility Bands (above or below 0), and Stoch RSI (above or below 50). These three signals hold a lighter weight than the three TSI signals. The macro score itself ranges between -10 and 10. In addition to the macro score line, a momentum line (sourced by the macro score itself) has been included. A crossover/crossunder of the macro score and the macro momentum line is included into the long/short signal syntax in addition to a threshold for the macro score.
The Donchian Cloud Score is derived from a set of 5 Donchian channels (upper, lower, and basis plotted) defaulted to lengths of 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200. A set of conditions associated with the channels aims to determine ranging versus trending markets. Weights are given to these conditions accordingly, then tallied up to determine the "cloud score", ranging between -25 and 25. In general, a ranging market is determined by a cloud score between -10 and 10, while a positive trending market has a score higher than 10 and a negative trending market has a score lower than -10. That said, long and short thresholds similar to the macro score itself are included in the user settings and set to a default of 5 or -5. The cloud score is plotted as a line in the underlay with coloration reflecting ranging or trending markets (green color above the long threshold, gray between the thresholds, and red below the short threshold). The cloud score is incorporated into the strategy syntax for long and short positions in that the score must be above or below the set threshold for a trade to be placed. A breakdown for the Donchian scoring is as follows:
- Broke the 25-length DC (DC(25)) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +1 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(50) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +2 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(100) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +3 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(150) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +4 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(200) upper band in the previous 3 bars - +5 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(25) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -1 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(50) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -2 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(100) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -3 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(150) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -4 if true, 0 if false
- Broke the DC(200) lower band in the previous 3 bars - -5 if true, 0 if false
- DC(25) basis line above the DC(50) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(25) basis line above the DC(100) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(25)basis line above the DC(150) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(25) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(50) basis line above the DC(100) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(50) basis line above the DC(150) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(50) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(100) basis line above the DC(150) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(100) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
- DC(150) basis line above the DC(200) basis line - +1 if true, -1 if false
Thresholds for both the respective macro score and the Donchian Cloud score have been included. Entry signals for each strategy require the score to be >= the respective thresholds for longs and <= the respective thresholds for shorts.
Additionally, a normalized z-score has been included. The z-score does not affect the entry and exit signals, however, it is displayed on the chart in the form of bar coloration. The z-score has been normalized to a range of -1 to +1. A z-score under -0.60 is displayed as a red bar color, a score between -0.60 and -0.2 is displayed as an orange bar color, a score between -0.2 and 0.2 is displayed as a gray bar color, a score between 0.2 and 0.6 is displayed as a lime bar color, and a score over 0.6 is displayed in green.
Data for each respective strategy will be displayed in an overlaid table. This includes the factors that comprise the macro score of choice, the values of each signal that adds up to the macro score, the macro score itself, the value of the momentum line of the macro score, the normalized z-score value, and the Donchian Cloud score (if applicable). Green coloration notes bullish sentiment within the signals or values, gray coloration is neutral, and red coloration notes bearish sentiment.
Take profit, stop loss, and trailing percentages are also included, found at the bottom of the Input tab under “TT and TTP” as well as “Stop Loss”. The take profit and stop loss levels will be reflected as green and red lines respectively on the chart as they occur. Make sure to understand the TP/SL ratio that you desire before use, as the desired hit rate/profitability percentage will be affected accordingly. The option for adding in a trailing stop has also been included, with options to choose between an ATR-based trail or a percentage-based trail. This strategy does NOT guarantee future returns. Apply caution in trading regardless of discretionary or algorithmic. Understand the concepts of risk/reward and the intricacies of each strategy choice before utilizing them in your personal trading.
Profitview/Pineconnector Settings:
If you wish to utilize Profitview’s automation system, find the included “Profitview Settings” under the Input tab of the strategy settings menu. If not, skip this section entirely as it can be left blank. Options will be “OPEN LONG TITLE”, “OPEN SHORT TITLE”, “CLOSE LONG TITLE”, and “CLOSE SHORT TITLE”. If you wished to trade SOL, for example, you would put “SOL LONG”, “SOL SHORT”, “SOL CLOSE LONG”, and “SOL CLOSE SHORT” in these areas. Within your Profitview extension, ensure that your Alerts all match these titles. To set an alert for use with Profitview, go to the “Alerts” tab in TradingView, then create an alert. Make sure that your desired asset and timeframe are currently displayed on your screen when creating the alert. Under the “Condition” option of the alert, select the strategy, then select the expiration time. If using TradingView Premium, this can be open-ended. Otherwise, select your desired expiration time and date. This can be updated whenever desired to ensure the strategy does not expire. Under “Alert actions”, nothing necessarily needs to be selected unless so desired. Leave the “Alert name” option empty. For the “Message”, delete the generated message and replace it with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} and nothing else. If using Pineconnector, follow the same directions for setting up an alert, but use the ",buy,,risk=" syntax as noted in the tooltips.
Four WMA Strategy with TP and SLBasically I read a research paper on how they used different moving averages for long entries and short entries, and it kind of dawned on me that I always used the same one for long entry or exit, or even swing trading. So I smashed this together to see what would happen.
The strategy combines the use of four different WMAs for identifying trade entry points, along with a predefined take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) for risk management. Here's a detailed description of its features and how it operates:
Main Features
1. **WMAs as the Core Indicator**:
- The strategy uses four WMAs with different lengths. Two WMAs (`longM1` and `longM2`) are used for long entry signals, and the other two (`shortM1` and `shortM2`) for short entry signals.
- The lengths of these WMAs are adjustable through input parameters.
2. **Trade Entry Conditions**:
- A long entry is signaled when the shorter WMA crosses under the longer WMA .
- Conversely, a short entry is signaled when the shorter WMA crosses under the longer WMA.
3. **Take Profit and Stop Loss**:
- The strategy includes a take profit and stop loss mechanism.
- The TP and SL levels are set as a percentage of the entry price, with the percentage values being adjustable through input parameters.
4. **Visual Representation**:
- The WMAs are plotted on the chart for visual aid, each with a distinct color for easy identification.
How It Works
- The strategy continuously monitors the crossing of WMAs to detect potential entry points for long and short positions.
- Upon detecting a long or short condition, it automatically enters a trade and sets the corresponding TP and SL levels based on the current price and the specified percentages.
- The strategy then actively manages the trade, exiting the position when either the TP or SL level is reached.
Drawbacks
- **Overreliance on WMAs**: The strategy heavily relies on WMAs for trade signals. While WMAs are useful for identifying trends, they might not always provide timely entry and exit signals.
- **Market Conditions**: It may not perform well in highly volatile or sideways markets where WMA crossovers could lead to false signals.
- **Risk Management**: The fixed percentage for TP and SL might not be suitable for all market conditions. Traders might need to adjust these values frequently based on market volatility and their risk tolerance.
Apparently I need to emphasize to use brains when using indicators and setting them up to achieve the results you can or want. Also risk of 12% is considered very high so I lowered the numbers to 5%, which tanked the profits, try adjusting them on your own. Check the properties settings for more info on comission and slippage.
Conclusion
The "Four WMA Strategy with TP and SL" is suitable for traders who prefer a moving average-based approach to trading, combined with a straightforward mechanism for risk management through take profit and stop loss. However, like all strategies, it should be used with an understanding of its limitations and ideally tested thoroughly in various market conditions before applying it to live trading.

IchiBot - [SigmaStreet]
The IchiBot Indicator has been used to develop automated trading systems. It leverages the open-source Ichimoku framework provided by Trading View, to enable users to creatively generate over 1 trillion different combinations of trading conditions with the use of multiple timeframes to create unique “signal labels” that can be used to create custom strategies or provide in depth market analysis. At the end of this description, I have provided an example of input settings for a simple scalping strategy that I have back tested on US30 on the 5 minute timeframe.
Overview of the Settings:
The visuals section includes an option to show or hide certain parts of the indicator and change the size of the signal labels plotted on the chart.
Next to the “Signal color on baseline/candles” section, you can choose if you want to see additional signals generations from the most previous plotted label on a color changing baseline, or color changing candles. A color change from gray to blue/red indicate that the conditions from the most previously plotted signal label have been met again.
The next 5 sections are all related to the strategy portion of the indicator, used to aid in the back testing process. These sections are titled “Stop loss”, “Take Profit”, “Trail Stop”, “Trade Settings” and “Trade Schedule”.
The Stop Loss section includes an option to choose between value of “pts”, “atr” (average true range) or “None”. The stop loss value in “pts” is simply a specified number of points or pips from the current entry price of a trade that are input in the “SL” section. If the stop loss type is “atr” the “SL” section is not used and the value is calculated and displaced from the current entry price of a trade based on the atr period multiplied by the atr multiplier.
The take profit section is based on the same logic as the stop loss.
The Trail Stop section includes an option to choose between values “pts” or “None”. If the Trail Stop value is “pts”, a trailing stop loss is activated if a trade moves a point value into profit that exceeds the value of the “Trail Activation”. If the Trail Offset type is “pts”, the trailing stop loss is placed a point value away from the current price that is equal to the “Trail Offset” value.
The trade settings section has two options to either prevent or allow trade reversals and prevent or allow only 1 trade per signal label.
If the “Don’t allow trade reversals” is on, then a currently active trade can not be cancelled by an opposite trade signal. It can only be cancelled by the exit logic selected in the above sections. If the “One trade per signal” is selected, the strategy will only enter a trade if the most recent signal label is different from the last signal label where a trade was entered, or if the most recent signal label is in the opposite direction of the most recent signal label where a trade was entered.
The trade schedule section includes an option to only generate signal labels during the specified time. You can choose between 24/7 which will generate signals without any time restriction, or you can choose a custom time which is based on the America / New York time zone.
The timeframe settings section includes an option to choose “single” or “multiple” timeframes, as well as an option to show every signal label combination (“all”), or only the signal labels with the highest numerical value (“absolute”).
If you select “single” next to “timeframe”, the indicator will show you labels based on trade conditions met from only 1 selected timeframe. If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe”, the indicator is designed to return signal labels based on trade conditions that have been met on at least 2 different timeframes.
If you select “multiple” and “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels that always include a minimum of 2 timeframes where 1 timeframe is always the current timeframe. If you unselect the “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels with a minimum of 2 timeframes.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “all” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will show you every possible combination of labels that vary from trade conditions met on a minimum of 2 timeframes, to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “absolute” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will only show you labels where the numerical value is equivalent to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
Each signal label provides a number which refers to the number of timeframes used to generate the label, offering insights briefly. Hover over a label to reveal detailed tooltip information that details the exact timeframes used to generate each label.
You can choose all from “Show all/absolute labels” to see every possible combination of trade signals or “absolute” to only see labels that have the highest possible numerical value. Absolute means that every condition selected from every timeframe was calculated to be true at the same time on the same candle.
The next 8 sections are “Current timeframe trade conditions”, “1-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “5-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “15-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “30-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “1-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “4-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “Daily timeframe trade conditions”.
These sections include the same 10 trade conditions, that can be used independently, or in combination with each other. This brings the total number of trade conditions to 70.
The final section includes a standard option to adjust the current Ichimoku values.
Understanding the Calculations:
The term “future” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the right of the most recent closing price.
The term “current” refers to a value that is calculated on the most recent closing price.
The term “past” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the left of the most recent closing price.
Bullish is referred to as “blue” and bearish is referred to as “red”.
Buy Signals:
1. The current closing price is greater than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is blue.
3. The current closing price is greater than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is greater than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is greater than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is greater than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is greater than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is greater than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is greater than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely blue.
Sell Signals:
1. The current closing price is less than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is red.
3. The current closing price is less than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is less than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is less than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is less than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is less than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is less than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is less than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely red.
The script enables users to access the value of these 10 trade conditions across the 7 major time frames (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, and the current charts time frame) by using the official non repainting request security function provided by Trading View:
f_secSecurity(_src, _res, _exp) =>
request.security(_src, _res, _exp )
This indicator provides up to 70 variables (10 variables X 7 timeframes) that can be used separately, or in combination to generate signal labels.
Enhance your visual analysis with a color-changing baseline and candle colors that adapt to signal shifts, offering an immediate understanding of market trends. The base line will change from gray to blue/red which will reference the most previously plotted signal label. This change in color indicate that the conditions from the most recently plotted signal label have been met once again. Please refer to the example below.
Adjustments to the Ichimoku Indicator:
The script uses a slightly refined version of the Ichimoku indicator to calculate 10 different “trade conditions”. Each trade condition can create 1 bullish signal label and 1 bearish signal label. The calculations are primarily based on “greater than and less than logic” which is standard for signal generation.
In the original Ichimoku calculations, the “Lagging Span” has a default value of 26 periods. In the actual calculations, this input with the title “Lagging Span” is referred to as the “displacement”. When the lagging span is plotted on the chart, it is plotted with an offset value of offset = -displacement + 1 which technically plots the lagging span 25 candles to the left the most recent candle (if you count the most recent closing price as 0 and not 1). The clouds are plotted with an offset of offset = displacement -1 which technically plots the clouds 25 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
I have adjusted the logic of the Ichimoku indicator so the lagging span is still plotted 25 candles to the left of the most recently confirmed candle close, but the cloud is plotted 26 candles to the right of the most recent confirmed candle close.
This seemingly small adjustment of one candle cannot simply be adjusted in the settings of the original Ichimoku indicator since the calculations of the cloud and lagging span displacements are directly affected by the same value (displacement = 26, also known as the “lagging span”). My script is adjusted to make calculations where the lagging span is 25 candles to the left of the most recent candle, and the cloud is displaced 26 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
For example, my scripts logic to detect if the current closing price is over the current cloud is (close > leadLead1 and close > leadLine2 and leadLine1 > leadLine2 . By using a lookback of , the logic assumes that the displaced value is 26 bars to the right of the most recent candle. My script also reflects this logic in the plotted values of the cloud where the offset values are offset = displacement. This adjustment is made without affecting any other part of the Ichimoku indicators calculations, only the displacement of the cloud which directly affects the logic of trade conditioins. This change is a deliberate and necessary function of this script’s logic to generate trade conditions and signal labels.
I’ve removed the conversion line and the lagging span and introduced a 26-period pivot high/low to provide a less cluttered chart. The pivot high/low looks 26 periods to the left and only 1 period to the right. The lagging span and conversion line logic is still built into the framework of the trading signals. If you choose to enable the lagging span, or conversion line.
trading approach, and always test your strategies thoroughly.
The function to generate the "Signal Labels" calculates every single possible combination of the 7 different timeframes which is a total of 127 combinations for bullish signal labels, and 127 combinations for bearish signal labels. This function also provides the necessary criteria for the strategy entry conditions, based on the dynamically calculated values derived from the signal labels themselves. For example: "buy signal on 1 minute and 5 minute timeframe" is considered 1 combination, and "Buy signal on current, 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 4 hour and daily timeframe" is also considered 1 combination. There are a total of 254 combinations between buy and sell signal labels along with 254 individual variables with their own unique tool tip description. The signal label function alone spans over 1340 lines of code (minus spaces and comments) to specifically account for every possible variable combination. This unique and original function also calculates the signal label "value" which is the number you see on the signal label. This function adjusts the amount of labels plotted, the value and description of all labels based on the timeframe settings "single"/"multiple", the use of "use current timeframe" setting, and the "trade schedule". This signal label function has been a landmark piece of code for me in my endeavor to create and optimize my strategies based on its ability to provide an in depth analysis of the timeframes used when generating signal labels. This function is main reason that this script has been published closed source.

Pineconnector Strategy Template (Connect Any Indicator)Hello traders,
If you're tired of manual trading and looking for a solid strategy template to pair with your indicators, look no further.
This Pine Script v5 strategy template is engineered for maximum customization and risk management.
Best part?
It’s optimized for Pineconnector, allowing seamless integration with MetaTrader 4 and 5.
This powerful tool gives a lot of power to those who don't know how to code in Pinescript and are looking to automate their indicators' signals on Metatrader 4/5.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Pineconnector is a trading bot software that forwards TradingView alerts to your Metatrader 4/5 for automating trading.
Many traders don't know how to dynamically create Pineconnector-compatible alerts using the data from their TradingView scripts.
Traders using trading bots want their alerts to reflect the stop-loss/take-profit/trailing-stop/stop-loss to break options from your script and then create the orders accordingly.
This script showcases how to create Pineconnector alerts dynamically.
Pineconnector doesn't support alerts with multiple Take Profits.
As a workaround, for 2 TPs, I had to open two trades.
It's not optimal, as we end up paying more spreads for that extra trade - however, depending on your trading strategy, it may not be a big deal.
TRADINGVIEW ALERTS
1) You'll have to create one alert per asset X timeframe = 1 chart.
Example: 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 5 minutes chart, 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 15-minute chart (assuming you want your bot to trade the EUR/USD on the 5 and 15-minute timeframes)
2) Select the Order fills and alert() function calls condition
3) For each alert, the alert message is pre-configured with the text below
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
Please leave it as it is.
It's a TradingView native variable that will fetch the alert text messages built by the script.
4) Don't forget to set the Pineconnector webhook URL in the Notifications tab of the TradingView alerts UI.
You’ll find the URL on the Pineconnector documentation website.
EA CONFIGURATION
1) The Pyramiding in the EA on Metatrader must be set to 2 if you want to trade with 2 TPs => as it's opening 2 trades.
If you only want 1 TP, set the EA Pyramiding to 1.
Regarding the other EA settings, please refer to the Pineconnector documentation on their website.
2) In the EA, you can set a risk (= position size type) in %/lots/USD, as in the TradingView backtest settings.
KEY FEATURES
I) Modular Indicator Connection
* plug in your existing indicator into the template.
* Only two lines of code are needed for full compatibility.
Step 1: Create your connector
Adapt your indicator with only 2 lines of code and then connect it to this strategy template.
To do so:
1) Find in your indicator where the conditions print the long/buy and short/sell signals.
2) Create an additional plot as below
I'm giving an example with a Two moving averages cross.
Please replicate the same methodology for your indicator, whether it's a MACD , ZigZag , Pivots , higher-highs, lower-lows, or whatever indicator with clear buy and sell conditions.
//@version=5
indicator("Supertrend", overlay = true, timeframe = "", timeframe_gaps = true)
atrPeriod = input.int(10, "ATR Length", minval = 1)
factor = input.float(3.0, "Factor", minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
= ta.supertrend(factor, atrPeriod)
supertrend := barstate.isfirst ? na : supertrend
bodyMiddle = plot(barstate.isfirst ? na : (open + close) / 2, display = display.none)
upTrend = plot(direction < 0 ? supertrend : na, "Up Trend", color = color.green, style = plot.style_linebr)
downTrend = plot(direction < 0 ? na : supertrend, "Down Trend", color = color.red, style = plot.style_linebr)
fill(bodyMiddle, upTrend, color.new(color.green, 90), fillgaps = false)
fill(bodyMiddle, downTrend, color.new(color.red, 90), fillgaps = false)
buy = ta.crossunder(direction, 0)
sell = ta.crossunder(direction, 0)
//////// CONNECTOR SECTION ////////
Signal = buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : 0
plot(Signal, title = "Signal", display = display.data_window)
//////// CONNECTOR SECTION ////////
Important Notes
🔥 The Strategy Template expects the value to be exactly 1 for the bullish signal and -1 for the bearish signal
Now, you can connect your indicator to the Strategy Template using the method below or that one.
Step 2: Connect the connector
1) Add your updated indicator to a TradingView chart
2) Add the Strategy Template as well to the SAME chart
3) Open the Strategy Template settings, and in the Data Source field, select your 🔌Connector🔌 (which comes from your indicator)
Note it doesn’t have to be named 🔌Connector🔌 - you can name it as you want - however, I recommend an explicit name you can easily remember.
From then, you should start seeing the signals and plenty of other stuff on your chart.
🔥 Note that whenever you update your indicator values, the strategy statistics and visuals on your chart will update in real-time
II) Customizable Risk Management
- Choose between percentage or USD modes for maximum drawdown.
- Set max consecutive losing days and max losing streak length.
- I used the code from my friend @JosKodify for the maximum losing streak. :)
Will halt the EA and backtest orders fill whenever either of the safeguards above are “broken”
III) Intraday Risk Management
- Limit the maximum intraday losses both in percentage or USD.
- Option to set a maximum number of intraday trades.
- If your EA gets halted on an intraday chart, auto-restart it the next day.
IV) Spread and Account Filters
- Trade only if the spread is below a certain pip value.
- Set requirements based on account balance or equity.
V) Order Types and Position Sizing
- Choose between market, limit, or stop orders.
- Set your position size directly in the template.
Please use the position size from the “Inputs” and not the “Properties” tab.
Reason : The template sends the order on the same candle as the entry signals - at those entry signals candles, the position size isn’t computed yet, and the template can’t then send it to Pineconnector.
However, you can use the position size type (USD, contracts, %) from the “Properties” tab for backtesting.
In the EA, you can define the position size type for your orders in USD or lots or %.
VI) Advanced Take-Profit and Stop-Loss Options
- Choose to set your SL/TP in either pips or percentages.
- Option for multiple take-profit levels and trailing stop losses.
- Move your stop loss to break even +/- offset in pips for “risk-free” trades.
VII) Logger
The Pineconnector commands are logged in the TradingView logger.
You'll find more information about it in this TradingView blog post .
WHY YOU MIGHT NEED THIS TEMPLATE
1) Transform your indicator into a Pineconnector trading bot more easily than before
Connect your indicator to the template
Create your alerts
Set your EA settings
2) Save Time
Auto-generated alert messages for Pineconnector.
I tested them all, and I checked with the support team what could/can’t be done
3) Be in Control

REQUIREMENTS
* Make sure you have your Pineconnector license ID.
* Create your alerts with the Pineconnector webhook URL
* If there is any issue with the template, ask me in the comments section - I’ll answer quickly.
BACKTEST RESULTS FROM THIS POST
1) I connected this strategy template to a dummy Supertrend script.
I could have selected any other indicator or concept for this script post.
I wanted to share an example of how you can quickly upgrade your strategy, making it compatible with Pineconnector.
2) The backtest results aren't relevant for this educational script publication.
I used realistic backtesting data but didn't look too much into optimizing the results, as this isn't the point of why I'm publishing this script.
This strategy is a template to be connected to any indicator - the sky is the limit. :)
3) This template is made to take 1 trade per direction at any given time.
Pyramiding is set to 1 on TradingView.
The strategy default settings are:
* Initial Capital: 100000 USD
* Position Size: 1 contract
* Commission Percent: 0.075%
* Slippage: 1 tick
* No margin/leverage used
WHAT’S COMING NEXT FOR YOU GUYS?
I’ll make the same template for ProfitView, then for AutoView, and then for Alertatron.
All of those are free and open-source.
I have no affiliations with any of those companies - I'm publishing those templates as they will be useful to many of you.

It's not optimal, as we end up paying more spreads for that extra trade - however, depending on your trading strategy, it may not be a big deal.
TradingView Alerts
1) You'll have to create one alert per asset X timeframe = 1 chart.
Example : 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 5 minutes chart, 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 15-minute chart (assuming you want your bot to trade the EUR/USD on the 5 and 15-minute timeframes)

Important Notes
1) This multiple MACDs strategy doesn't matter much.
I could have selected any other indicator or concept for this script post.
I wanted to share an example of how you can quickly upgrade your strategy, making it compatible with Pineconnector.
2) The backtest results aren't relevant for this educational script publication.
I used realistic backtesting data but didn't look too much into optimizing the results, as this isn't the point of why I'm publishing this script.
3) This template is made to take 1 trade per direction at any given time.
Pyramiding is set to 1 on TradingView.
The strategy default settings are:
Initial Capital: 100000 USD
Position Size: 1 contract
Commission Percent: 0.075%
Slippage: 1 tick
No margin/leverage used
For example, those are realistic settings for trading CFD indices with low timeframes but not the best possible settings for all assets/timeframes.
Concept
The Heatmap MACD Strategy allows selecting one MACD in five different timeframes.
You'll get an exit signal whenever one of the 5 MACDs changes direction.
Then, the strategy re-enters whenever all the MACDs are in the same direction again.
It takes:
long trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bullish
short trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bearish
You can select the same timeframe multiple times if you don't need five timeframes.
For example, if you only need the 30min, the 1H, and 2H, you can set your timeframes as follow:
30m
30m
30m
1H
2H
Risk Management Features
All the features below are pips-based.
Stop-Loss
Trailing Stop-Loss
Stop-Loss to Breakeven after a certain amount of pips has been reached
Take Profit 1st level and closing X% of the trade
Take Profit 2nd level and close the remaining of the trade
Custom Exit
I added the option ON/OFF to close the opened trade whenever one of the MACD diverges with the others.
Help me help the community
If you see any issue when adding your strategy logic to that template regarding the orders fills on your Metatrader, please let me know in the comments.
I'll use your feedback to make this template more robust. :)
What's next?
I'll publish a more generic template built as a connector so you can connect any indicator to that Pineconnector template.
Then, I'll publish a template for Capitalise AI, ProfitView, AutoView, and Alertatron.
Thank you

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.
3kilos BTC 15mThe "3kilos BTC 15m" is a comprehensive trading strategy designed to work on a 15-minute timeframe for Bitcoin (BTC) or other cryptocurrencies. This strategy combines multiple indicators, including Triple Exponential Moving Averages (TEMA), Average True Range (ATR), and Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, to generate buy and sell signals. It also incorporates risk management features like take profit and stop loss.
Indicators
Triple Exponential Moving Averages (TEMA): Three TEMA lines are used with different lengths and sources:
Short TEMA (Red) based on highs
Long TEMA 1 (Blue) based on lows
Long TEMA 2 (Green) based on closing prices
Average True Range (ATR): Custom ATR calculation with EMA smoothing is used for volatility measurement.
Supertrend: Calculated using ATR and a multiplier to determine the trend direction.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Applied to the short TEMA to smooth out its values.
Heikin-Ashi Close: Used for additional trend confirmation.
Entry & Exit Conditions
Long Entry: Triggered when the short TEMA is above both long TEMA lines, the Supertrend is bullish, the short TEMA is above its SMA, and the Heikin-Ashi close is higher than the previous close.
Short Entry: Triggered when the short TEMA is below both long TEMA lines, the Supertrend is bearish, the short TEMA is below its SMA, and the Heikin-Ashi close is lower than the previous close.
Take Profit and Stop Loss: Both are calculated as a percentage of the entry price, and they are set for both long and short positions.
Risk Management
Take Profit: Set at 1% above the entry price for long positions and 1% below for short positions.
Stop Loss: Set at 3% below the entry price for long positions and 3% above for short positions.
Commission and Pyramiding
Commission: A 0.07% commission is accounted for in the strategy.
Pyramiding: The strategy does not allow pyramiding.
Note
This strategy is designed for educational purposes and should not be considered as financial advice. Always do your own research and consider consulting a financial advisor before engaging in trading.
Based RSI (BullDozz)Installation: To use this script, open TradingView and create a new Pine Script strategy. You can paste the code provided into the Pine Script editor.
Customizable Inputs: The script includes various input parameters that you can customize to fit your trading preferences. These parameters are defined using the input function and include values like length, TPPercent, and others. You can adjust these values based on your trading strategy.
Strategy Signals: The script generates buy and sell signals based on the conditions specified in the buySignal and sellSignal variables. These signals are derived from the analysis of the oscillator (osc) and the Relative Strength Index (rsi). When a buy signal occurs, the script enters a long position, and when a sell signal occurs, it enters a short position.
Take Profit: The script includes a take profit feature (useTP) that allows you to enable or disable take profit orders. When enabled, it calculates take profit levels based on the specified percent (TPPercent) and attaches them to the open positions.
Plotting: The script also visualizes the oscillator (osc) and a midline (0) on the chart using histogram-style bars. The colors of these bars change based on the oscillator's direction.

Bollinger Bands Modified (Stormer)This strategy is based and shown by trader and investor Alexandre Wolwacz "Stormer".
Overview
The strategy uses two indicators Bollinger Bands and EMA (optional for EMA).
Calculates Bollinger Bands, EMA, highest high, and lowest low values based on the input parameters, evaluating the conditions to determine potential long and short entry signals.
The conditions include checks for crossovers and crossunders of the price with the upper and lower Bollinger Bands, as well as the position of the price relative to the EMA.
The script also incorporates the option to add an inside bar pattern check for additional information.
Entry Position
Long Position:
Price cross over the superior band of bollinger bands.
The EMA is used to add support for trend analysis, it is an optional input, when used, it checks if price is above EMA.
Short Position:
Price cross under the inferior band of bollinger bands.
The EMA is used to add support for trend analysis, it is an optional input, when used, it checks if price is under EMA.
Risk Management
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is calculated based on the input highest high (for short position) and lowest low (for long position).
It gets the length based on the input from the last candles to set which is the highest high and which is the lowest low.
Take Profit:
According to the author, the profit target should be at least 1:1.6 the risk, so to have the strategy mathematically positive.
The profit target is configured input, can be increased or decreased.
It calculates the take profit based on the price of the stop loss with the profit target input.
Powertrend - Volume Range Filter Strategy [wbburgin]The Powertrend is a range filter that is based off of volume, instead of price. This helps the range filter capture trends more accurately than a price-based range filter, because the range filter will update itself from changes in volume instead of changes in price. In certain scenarios this means that the Powertrend will be more profitable than a normal range filter.
Essentials of the Strategy
This is a breakout strategy which works best on trending assets with high volume and liquidity. It should be used on middle to higher timeframes and can be used on all assets that have volume provided by the data source (stocks, crypto, forex). It is long-only as of now. It can work on lower timeframes if you optimize the strategy filters to make less trades or if your exchange/broker is low/no fees, provided that your exchange/broker has high liquidity and volume.
The strategy enters a long position if the range filter is trending upwards and the price crosses over the upper range band, which signifies a price-volume breakout. The strategy closes the long position if the range filter is trending downwards and the price crosses under the lower range band, which signifies a breakdown. Both these conditions can be altered by the three filter options in the settings. The default trend filter is not alterable because it helps prevent false entries and exits that are against the trend.
Settings
The Length setting is the lookback period for the range smoothing.
The ADX Filter setting enables you to turn on an ADX filter, which will halt entries and exits unless the ADX of your customizable length is above a ADX VWMA of that length.
The Range Supertrend setting creates a supertrend from the top and bottom ranges, which can be used to filter entries and exits. The length is customizable. The filter can show you whether the range is making higher highs and lower lows. Below is an example of the Range Supertrend being used as a filter and plotted on-chart:
The VWMA setting halts entries if they are below a customizable length VWMA.
Both the Range Supertrend and the VWMA can also be plotted separately without actually filtering the strategy, so that you can use them independently if you wish. You can turn off the bar color, the highlighting, and the labels if you wish in the settings. A note about the bar color: if the color changes but the strategy does not signal an exit or entry this means that the crossover was against the trend. In these circumstances it may be indicative of a pullback to enter or exit or to add onto your position.
About the Strategy Results Below
A range filter is normally composed of two components - the range filter itself and a smoothing function. In the development of this script I tested both normal and volume-based varieties of the range filter and the smoothing function:
Tests Performed
Volume-based Range x VWMA smoothing
Price-based Range x VWMA smoothing
Price-based Range x EMA smoothing
Volume-based Range x EMA smoothing (final result)
The highest-performing was a volume-based range filter and a normal EMA-based smoothing function, but that does not mean that this strategy will be profitable - exits are based off of signal reversion so I strongly encourage you to develop your own take profits/stop losses for the strategy if you think it may be a good fit for you. The results below are with a commission value of 0.05% (because I built the strategy first for equities), slippage of 3, so if your exchange/broker has a higher fee schedule, I recommend adding filters and/or moving to higher timeframes for the strategy. Additionally, I used 10% of equity in each trade, while using the Range Supertrend filter (the previous upload was unrealistic because it used 100% of equity - missed a 0, apologies, and added in slippage).
D-Bot Alpha RSI Breakout StrategyHello dear Traders,
Here is a simple yet effective strategy to use, for best profit higher time frame, such as daily.
Structure of the code
The code defines inputs for SMA (simple moving average) length, RSI (relative strength index) length, RSI entry level, RSI stop loss level, and RSI take profit level. The default values of these variables can be customized as per the user's preferences.
The script calculates SMA and RSI based on the input parameters and the closing price of the asset.
Trading logic
This strategy allows the placement of a long position when:
The RSI crosses above the RSI entry level and
The close price is above the SMA value.
After entering a long position, it applies a trailing stop mechanism. The stop price is updated to the close price if the close price is lower than the last close price.
The script closes the long position when:
RSI falls below the stop loss level.
RSI reaches or exceeds the take profit level.
If the trailing stop is activated (once RSI reaches or exceeds the take profit level), the closing price falls below the trailing stop level.
Strengths
The strategy includes mechanisms for entering a position, taking profit, and stopping losses, which are fundamental aspects of a trading strategy.
It applies a trailing stop mechanism that allows to capture further gains if the price keeps increasing while protecting from losses if the price starts to decrease.
Weaknesses
This strategy only contemplates long positions. Depending on the market situation, the strategy may miss opportunities for short selling when the market is on a downward trend.
The choice of the fixed RSI entry, stop loss, and take profit levels may not be ideal for all market conditions or assets. It might benefit from a more adaptive mechanism that adjusts these levels according to market volatility or trend.
The strategy doesn't factor in trading costs (such as spread or commission), which could have a significant impact on the net profit, especially if the user is trading with a high frequency or in a low liquidity market.
How to trade with this strategy
Given these parameters and the strategy outlined by the code, the trader would enter a long position when the RSI crosses above the RSI entry level (default 34) and the closing price is above the SMA value (SMA calculated with default period of 200). The trader would exit the position when either the RSI falls below the RSI stop loss level (default 30), or RSI rises above the RSI take profit level (default 50), or when the trailing stop is hit.

Mechanical Trading StrategyThe "Mechanical Trading Strategy" is a simple and systematic approach to trading that aims to capture short-term price movements in the financial markets. This strategy focuses on executing trades based on specific conditions and predetermined profit targets and stop loss levels.
Key Features:
Profit Target: The strategy allows you to set a profit target as a percentage of the entry price. This target represents the desired level of profit for each trade.
Stop Loss: The strategy incorporates a stop loss level as a percentage of the entry price. This level represents the maximum acceptable loss for each trade, helping to manage risk.
Entry Condition: The strategy triggers trades at a specific time. In this case, the condition for entering a trade is based on the hour of the candle being 16 (4:00 PM). This time-based entry condition provides a systematic approach to executing trades.
Position Sizing: The strategy determines the position size based on a fixed percentage of the available equity. This approach ensures consistent risk management and allows for potential portfolio diversification.
Execution:
When the entry condition is met, signified by the hour being 16, the strategy initiates a long position using the strategy.entry function. It sets the exit conditions using the strategy.exit function, with a limit order for the take profit level and a stop order for the stop loss level.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
The take profit level is calculated by adding a percentage of the entry price to the entry price itself. This represents the profit target for the trade. Conversely, the stop loss level is calculated by subtracting a percentage of the entry price from the entry price. This level represents the maximum acceptable loss for the trade.
By using this mechanical trading strategy, traders can establish a disciplined and systematic approach to their trading decisions. The predefined profit target and stop loss levels provide clear exit rules, helping to manage risk and potentially maximize returns. However, it is important to note that no trading strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, and careful analysis and monitoring of market conditions are always recommended.
VWAP Trendfollow Strategy [wbburgin]This is an experimental strategy that enters long when the instrument crosses over the upper standard deviation band of a VWAP and enters short when the instrument crosses below the bottom standard deviation band of the VWAP. I have added a trend filter as well, which stops entries that are opposite to the current trend of the VWAP. The trend filter will reduce total false breakouts, thus improving the % profitable while maintaining the overall returns of the strategy. Because this is a trend-following breakout strategy, the % profitable will typically be low but the average % return will be higher. As a rule, be sure to look at the average winning trade % compared to the average losing trade %, and compare that to the % profitable to judge the effectiveness of a strategy. Factor in fees and slippage as well.
This strategy appears to work better with the lower timeframes, and I was impressed with its results. It also appears to work on a wide range of asset classes. There isn't a stop loss or take profit built-in (other than the reversal signals, which close the current trade), so I would encourage you to expand on the strategy based on your own trading parameters.
You can toggle off the bar colors and the trend filter if you so desire.
Future updates to this script (or ideas of improving on it) might include a take profit level set at one standard deviation past the current level and a stop loss level set at one standard deviation closer to the vwap from the current level - or applying a multiple to the two based off of your reward/risk ratio.
About the strategy results below: this is with commissions of 0.5 % per trade.
Index Strength Strategy with Signal Using the Index Strength Strategy Indicator for Trading
Introduction:
In this article, we'll explore the Index Strength Strategy Indicator and how it can be used for trading. The Index Strength Strategy Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify trends, determine trend strength, and generate buy and sell signals.
Overview of the Index Strength Strategy Indicator:
The Index Strength Strategy Indicator is based on two moving averages - a fast moving average and a slow moving average - and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The fast and slow moving averages are used to determine the trend direction, while the RSI is used to calculate the trend strength. The indicator assigns a strength score to the current trend, which is then classified into one of four categories - Very Weak, Weak, Strong, or Very Strong. Traders can use this information to identify the strength of the trend and adjust their trading strategy accordingly.
The indicator also generates buy and sell signals based on a user-defined threshold level. When the strength score crosses above the threshold level, a buy signal is generated, and when the strength score crosses below the threshold level, a sell signal is generated.
Using the Index Strength Strategy Indicator for Trading:
Traders can use the Index Strength Strategy Indicator to identify trends, determine trend strength, and generate buy and sell signals. To use the indicator, traders should first determine the appropriate fast and slow moving average periods and the strength threshold level for their trading style. These input parameters can be adjusted in the indicator's settings.
Once the indicator is added to the chart, traders can use the strength score and trend direction to identify potential trading opportunities. If the trend is classified as Strong or Very Strong, traders may look for opportunities to enter long or short positions in the direction of the trend. If the trend is classified as Very Weak or Weak, traders may look for opportunities to exit or avoid positions.
Traders can also use the buy and sell signals generated by the indicator to enter or exit positions. When a buy signal is generated, traders can enter a long position, and when a sell signal is generated, traders can enter a short position. Traders should set stop-loss and take-profit levels based on their risk management strategy.
Avoiding Mistakes:
To avoid mistakes when using the Index Strength Strategy Indicator, traders should keep the following tips in mind:
Don't rely solely on the indicator - it should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis.
Use appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Adjust the input parameters of the indicator to match your trading style and preferences.
Avoid overtrading and chasing trades - wait for the right opportunities to enter or exit positions.
Trading Strategy Test Results: Time Frame Tested for 15 Mins
To provide an idea of the potential performance of the Index Strength Strategy Indicator, let's look at some recent test results for two popular indices - Bank Nifty and Nifty 50.
From 1-May-2023 to 12-May-2023, using 2 lots of Bank Nifty with the Index Strength Strategy Indicator, a profit of 15,175 was achieved, with a percentage profitable trade rate of 80% and a profit factor of 3.395. The maximum drawdown was 7,000, and the average trade was 3,035.
During the same time period, using 1 lot of Nifty 50 with the Index Strength Strategy Indicator, a profit of 8,187 was achieved
Conclusion:
The Index Strength Strategy Indicator is a useful tool for traders to identify trends, determine trend strength, and generate buy and sell signals. Traders can use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis to make informed trading decisions. By following proper risk management strategies and avoiding common mistakes, traders can use the indicator to improve their trading performance.
SPY 4 Hour Swing TraderThe purpose of this script is to spot 4 hour pivots that indicate ~30 trading day swings. As VIX starts to drop options trading will get more boring and as we get back on the bull and can benefit from swing trading strategy. Swing trading doesn't make a whole lot of sense when VIX is above 28. Seems to get best results on 4 hour chart for this one. This indicator spots a go long opportunity when the 5 ema crosses the 13 ema on the 4 hour along with the RSI > 50 and the ADX > 20 and Stoichastic values (smoothed line < 80 or line < 90) and close > last candle close and the True Range < 6. It also spots uses a couple different means to determine when to exit the trade. Sell condition is primarily when the 13 ema crosses the 5 ema and the MACD line crosses below the signal line and the smoothed Stoichastic appears oversold (greater than 60) and slop of RSI < -.2. Stop Losses and Take Profits are configurable in Inputs along with ability to include short trades plus other MACD and Stoichastic settings. If a stop loss is encountered the trade will close. Also once twice the expected move is encountered partial profits will taken and stop losses and take profits will be re-established based on most recent close. Also a VIX above 28 will trigger any open positions to close. If trying to use this for something other than SPXL it is best to update stop losses and take profit percentages and check backtest results to ensure proper levels have been selected and the script gives satisfactory results.
SPY 1 Hour Swing TraderThe purpose of this script is to spot 1 hour pivots that indicate ~5 to 6 trading day swings. Results indicate that swings are held approximately 5 to 6 trading days on average, over the last 6 years. This indicator spots a go long opportunity when the 5 ema crosses the 13 ema on the 1 hour along with the RSI > 50. It also spots uses a couple different means to determine when to exit the trade. Sell condition is primarily when the 13 ema crosses the 5 ema and the MACD line crosses below the signal line and the smoothed Stoichastic appears oversold (greater than 60). Stop Losses and Take Profits are configurable in Inputs along with ability to include short trades plus other MACD and Stoichastic settings. If a stop loss is encountered the trade will close. Also once twice the expected move is encountered partial profits will taken and stop losses and take profits will be re-established based on most recent close. Once long trades are exited, short trades will be initiated if recent conditions appeared oversold and input option for short trading is enabled. If trying to use this for something other than SPXL it is best to update stop losses and take profit percentages and check backtest results to ensure proper levels have been selected and the script gives satisfactory results.
Bitcoin 30m Swing Trader Long/Short StrategyIntro
I want to share the results of my passionate hobby and the unstoppable chase for a profitable automated trading strategy. It has been created with the intention of trading only Bitcoin. Altcoins are not interesting for me, as I have discovered lots of issues with finding the right parameter values for experiencing a good performance. As altcoins typically follow the trend of bitcoin and characteristically have a high volatility that may cause stop-hunts, I decided to not over complicate this project. I was just aiming for a profitable trading strategy with an acceptable drawdown and enough confidence by a statistically significant number of trades beside a wide backtesting timespan (credits going out to TradingView: Deep Backtesting).
Total time spent on this is approximately 2 years.
Indicators used
RSI: Used for entries and trend reversal spots
MACD: Used for entry and exit optimiziation
ATR: Used for dynamic offsets in trend definition indicator
Custom trend indicator: Self-made indicator, based on simple price action of higher timeframes using pivot points to find support and resistance zones that have formerly been created
Strategy parameters
I have reduced the total parameters used to just a few. It took lots of working hours to find appropriate values along the trading algorithm and I don’t want to overcomplicate it to you.
This strategy is for those, who have been looking for a working strategy. No DIY kit.
Feel free to adapt Take profit or stop loss targets. But it’s not recommended to do so.
How it works
Entries:
I started with a kind of template that I have been using for strategies for a long time. This includes how to find the right Entries during a trend as well as spotting trend reverse opportunities. Here I combine simple indicators like RSI and MACD beside necessary trend conditions. If a target RSI Value is hit, it will enter a trade, after MACD histogram has stopped to fall/rise. Depends on long/short. While we are in a trade and trend reversed, it waits for a specific RSI target level to be hit, to reverse the trade. As simple as it is, it closes the open one and starts a trade in other direction.
Micro trend:
It starts to get more interesting when it comes to trend recognition, as it forms the core of the strategy and discovering appropriate values for it has been very hard. The final trend variable is defined by the responses over higher timeframes of my self-made trend indicator. Executed on the current timeframe, the trend indicator is quite interesting. But for a automated trading strategy it is necessary to deviate trading instructions from higher timeframes trends.
Macro trend:
The same process that happens for micro trend is also applied with much higher timeframes, like 3D or weekly. The basic assumption is, that if we are in a bull or bear run, where retail investors are flooding the markets, we are increasing our take profit targets respectively. This way we can catch bigger moves in bigger trends.
Exits:
Closing a trade generally happens when a TP target (in %) is hit, or the SL (in %) is hit. The strategy has a special treatment with SL’s. After it happens, the strategy is more careful about market conditions and typically waits for a countertrade. The third way of closing a trade has already been mentioned: the reverse trades. They happen during choppy market conditions. The strategy has also special awareness here and tracks, if reverse trades start to happen more often. After a while, it starts to be more restrictive in opening new reverse trades.
Performance
Capabilities and limitations:
As I have already mentioned the strategy is only optimized for bitcoin (Perpetual Futures). This does not mean, it can not be used on other markets, because the algorithm itself is universal appliable. A very hard task was about finding the right parameter values for the strategy performing like this. If you have a special wish to configure this strategy for a specific market, DM me. The strategy has been tested with different configurations on the following timeframes: 30, 15, 10, 5, 1. I have decided to publish the one for 30m TF, because its performance simply convinced me.
Repainting:
It has been tested lots of times against repainting.
Confidence:
The total backtesting performance reaches out to 2019-09-08. So the strategy has been managing to be successful since then, but this does not guarantee that the logic, this strategy follows, is going to continue this level in future.
Commission:
The algorithm is configured with 0.04% commission per trade, as it is on Binance (for Future Market orders).
Ordersize:
Its totally up to you, how much of your total equity should be traded. Nevertheless, I would personally recommend to not exceed 50% ordersize of your equity with this strategy. In the past, you would have had great performance beside a drawdown, that was from psychological point of view good to handle with. This strategy additionally uses STOP LOSSES, so you can never loose you whole ordersize at one trade.
Slippage:
You also must consider about getting slipped when trading this strategy on live markets. Statistically one could assume, that the slippage could be neutral, as it can be both positive or negative. It depends on your execution time, the exchange, on which you are executing trades and market conditions. But keep it in mind, as if you have too much slippage, this strategy would be unprofitable.
