Price Change Scalping Strategy v1.0 - 3Commas EditionIntroduction
This strategy implements the Price Change Scalping (PCS) strategy specifically for the 3Commas platform. The Input settings have been redesigned to match the same inputs as the 3Commas My Bot Settings page. Only the "Deal Start Condition" section will echo the required PCS-related settings found in the original Price Change Scalping Strategy v1.0 to successfully implement the strategy.
The strategy uses a price rate of change (ROC) momentum calculation to determine the percent change in price between a defined range of bars. The calculated ROC value is then compared to the Upper Threshold and Lower Threshold values to determine if a trade setup is to be activated. If the threshold is crossed, a trade setup will occur based on the indicator settings. Entry, Take Profit, and Stop Loss prices are calculated and displayed on the chart. Once the Entry Price is crossed, a long or short position is created (depending on the direction) and once the Take Profit price is crossed, the position is closed. If the Entry Price is not crossed within a specific number of bars, the trade setup is canceled, and it will proceed to monitor price changes for the next set up.
How is it original and useful?
This strategy is unique in that the strategy version fully supports the TradingView backtester, which will enable you to perform experiments with various settings to evaluate performance using the historical chart data. The study version implements the "Start Deal" and "Close Deal" alerts for you to integrate with 3Comma's "Trading View Custom Signal" start condition. Both script versions will provide the same configuration abilities. The following list is a brief description of its usefulness:

Strategy Results
The default settings are designed to define a "loose" price change settings to ensure that the indicator will render chart elements when first loaded as well as to allow the backtester to gather order executions and display performance summary. The strategy version is using $10,000 initial capital, a commission rate of 0.1% for both entries and exits, and a 1 tick slippage setting. It is also using 3.4881% of the equity for the Base Order Size, 4.7097% of equity for the first Safety Order Size. The Maximum Safety Trade Count is 7 with a Safety Order Volume Scale of 1.33, and a take profit of 2% with no stop loss. All other settings are defaults.
It is recommended that the indicator be "tuned" for your specific market to best implement the price change strategy and obtain better desirable results. You do so by scrolling through the chart's history and observing moments when prices tend to move rapidly. Measure the number or bars it typically takes for the price to change at a specific rate. Using this information, you can adjust the Price Change Settings accordingly to configure the indicator for the chart.
Always keep in mind that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Settings that seem favorable for one market may be found to be disastrous in another. Therefore, do take the time needed to understand how the settings will behave with the given chart symbol.
Enjoy! 😊👍
