GKD-BT Baseline Backtest [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-BT Baseline Backtest is a backtesting module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-BT Baseline Backtest
The GKD-BT Baseline Backtest allows traders to backtest the Regular and Stepped baselines used in the GKD trading system. This module includes 65+ moving averages and 15+ types of volatility to choose from.
Additionally, this backtest module provides the option to test the GKD-B indicator with 1 to 3 take profits and 1 stop loss. The Trading backtest allows for the use of 1 to 3 take profits, while the Full backtest is limited to 1 take profit. The Trading backtest also offers the capability to apply a trailing take profit.
In terms of the percentage of trade removed at each take profit, this backtest module has the following hardcoded values:
Take profit 1: 50% of the trade is removed
Take profit 2: 25% of the trade is removed
Take profit 3: 25% of the trade is removed
Stop loss: 100% of the trade is removed
After each take profit is achieved, the stop loss level is adjusted. When take profit 1 is reached, the stop loss is moved to the entry point. Similarly, when take profit 2 is reached, the stop loss is shifted to take profit 1. The trailing take profit feature comes into play after take profit 2 or take profit 3, depending on the number of take profits selected in the settings. The trailing take profit is always activated on the final take profit when 2 or more take profits are chosen.
The backtest also offers the capability to restrict by a specific date range, allowing for simulated forward testing based on past data. Additionally, users have the option to display or hide a trading panel that provides relevant information about the backtest, statistics, and the current trade. It is also possible to activate alerts and toggle sections of the trading panel on or off. On the chart, historical take profit and stop loss levels are represented by horizontal lines overlaid for reference.
This backtest also includes an optional GKD-E Exit indicator that can be used to test early exits.
The GKD system utilizes volatility-based take profits and stop losses. Each take profit and stop loss is calculated as a multiple of volatility. You can change the values of the multipliers in the settings as well.
To utilize this strategy, follow these steps:
1. (Required) Import the value "Input into NEW GKD-BT Backtest" from the GKD-B Baseline indicator into the GKD-BT Baseline Backtest field "Import GKD-B Baseline"
2. (Optional) Import the value "Input into NEW GKD-BT Backtest" from the GKD-E Exit indicator into the GKD-BT Baseline Backtest field "Import GKD-E Exit". You can toggle the Exit on or off using the "Activate GKD-E Exit" option.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: GKD-BT Baseline Backtest as shown on the chart above
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Sherif's HiLo
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Fisher Transform as shown on the chart above
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

GKD-BT Full Giga Kaleidoscope Backtest [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-BT Full Giga Kaleidoscope Backtest is a Backtesting module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-BT Full Giga Kaleidoscope Backtest
The Full Giga Kaleidoscope Backtest module enables users to backtest Full GKD Long and Short signals, allowing the creation of a comprehensive NNFX trading system consisting of two confirmation indicators, a baseline, a measure of volatility/volume, and continuations.
This module offers two types of backtests: Trading and Full. The Trading backtest allows users to evaluate individual Long and Short trades one by one. On the other hand, the Full backtest enables the analysis of Longs or Shorts separately by toggling between them in the settings, providing insights into the results for each signal type. The Trading backtest simulates actual trading conditions, while the Full backtest evaluates all signals regardless of their Long or Short nature.
Additionally, the backtest module allows testing with 1 to 3 take profits and 1 stop loss. The Trading backtest supports 1 to 3 take profits, while the Full backtest is limited to 1 take profit. The Trading backtest also includes a trailing take profit feature.
Regarding the percentage of trade removed at each take profit, the backtest module incorporates the following predefined values:
Take profit 1: 50% of the trade is removed.
Take profit 2: 25% of the trade is removed.
Take profit 3: 25% of the trade is removed.
Stop loss: 100% of the trade is removed.
After achieving each take profit, the stop loss level is adjusted accordingly. When take profit 1 is reached, the stop loss is moved to the entry point. Similarly, when take profit 2 is reached, the stop loss is shifted to take profit 1. The trailing take profit feature comes into effect after take profit 2 or take profit 3, depending on the number of take profits selected in the settings. The trailing take profit is always activated on the final take profit when 2 or more take profits are chosen.
The backtest module also provides the option to restrict testing to a specific date range, allowing for simulated forward testing using past data. Additionally, users can choose to display or hide a trading panel that provides relevant information about the backtest, statistics, and the current trade. It is also possible to activate alerts and toggle sections of the trading panel on or off. Historical take profit and stop loss levels are displayed as overlaid horizontal lines on the chart for reference.
To utilize this strategy, follow these steps:
1. GKD-B Baseline Import: Import the value "Input into NEW GKD-BT Backtest" from the GKD-B Baseline module into the GKD-BT Full Giga Kaleidoscope Backtest module setting named "Import GKD-B Baseline."

Close-to-Close
Close-to-Close volatility is a classic and widely used volatility measure, sometimes referred to as historical volatility.
Volatility is an indicator of the speed of a stock price change. A stock with high volatility is one where the price changes rapidly and with a larger amplitude. The more volatile a stock is, the riskier it is.
Close-to-close historical volatility is calculated using only a stock's closing prices. It is the simplest volatility estimator. However, in many cases, it is not precise enough. Stock prices could jump significantly during a trading session and return to the opening value at the end. That means that a considerable amount of price information is not taken into account by close-to-close volatility.
Despite its drawbacks, Close-to-Close volatility is still useful in cases where the instrument doesn't have intraday prices. For example, mutual funds calculate their net asset values daily or weekly, and thus their prices are not suitable for more sophisticated volatility estimators.
Parkinson
Parkinson volatility is a volatility measure that uses the stock’s high and low price of the day.
The main difference between regular volatility and Parkinson volatility is that the latter uses high and low prices for a day, rather than only the closing price. This is useful as close-to-close prices could show little difference while large price movements could have occurred during the day. Thus, Parkinson's volatility is considered more precise and requires less data for calculation than close-to-close volatility.
One drawback of this estimator is that it doesn't take into account price movements after the market closes. Hence, it systematically undervalues volatility. This drawback is addressed in the Garman-Klass volatility estimator.
Garman-Klass
Garman-Klass is a volatility estimator that incorporates open, low, high, and close prices of a security.
Garman-Klass volatility extends Parkinson's volatility by taking into account the opening and closing prices. As markets are most active during the opening and closing of a trading session, it makes volatility estimation more accurate.
Garman and Klass also assumed that the process of price change follows a continuous diffusion process (Geometric Brownian motion). However, this assumption has several drawbacks. The method is not robust for opening jumps in price and trend movements.
Despite its drawbacks, the Garman-Klass estimator is still more effective than the basic formula since it takes into account not only the price at the beginning and end of the time interval but also intraday price extremes.
Researchers Rogers and Satchell have proposed a more efficient method for assessing historical volatility that takes into account price trends. See Rogers-Satchell Volatility for more detail.
Rogers-Satchell
Rogers-Satchell is an estimator for measuring the volatility of securities with an average return not equal to zero.
Unlike Parkinson and Garman-Klass estimators, Rogers-Satchell incorporates a drift term (mean return not equal to zero). As a result, it provides better volatility estimation when the underlying is trending.
The main disadvantage of this method is that it does not take into account price movements between trading sessions. This leads to an underestimation of volatility since price jumps periodically occur in the market precisely at the moments between sessions.
A more comprehensive estimator that also considers the gaps between sessions was developed based on the Rogers-Satchel formula in the 2000s by Yang-Zhang. See Yang Zhang Volatility for more detail.
Yang-Zhang
Yang Zhang is a historical volatility estimator that handles both opening jumps and the drift and has a minimum estimation error.
Yang-Zhang volatility can be thought of as a combination of the overnight (close-to-open volatility) and a weighted average of the Rogers-Satchell volatility and the day’s open-to-close volatility. It is considered to be 14 times more efficient than the close-to-close estimator.
Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang
Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang (GKYZ) volatility estimator incorporates the returns of open, high, low, and closing prices in its calculation.
GKYZ volatility estimator takes into account overnight jumps but not the trend, i.e., it assumes that the underlying asset follows a Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) process with zero drift. Therefore, the GKYZ volatility estimator tends to overestimate the volatility when the drift is different from zero. However, for a GBM process, this estimator is eight times more efficient than the close-to-close volatility estimator.
Exponential Weighted Moving Average
The Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) is a quantitative or statistical measure used to model or describe a time series. The EWMA is widely used in finance, with the main applications being technical analysis and volatility modeling.
The moving average is designed such that older observations are given lower weights. The weights decrease exponentially as the data point gets older – hence the name exponentially weighted.
The only decision a user of the EWMA must make is the parameter lambda. The parameter decides how important the current observation is in the calculation of the EWMA. The higher the value of lambda, the more closely the EWMA tracks the original time series.
Standard Deviation of Log Returns
This is the simplest calculation of volatility. It's the standard deviation of ln(close/close(1)).
Pseudo GARCH(2,2)
This is calculated using a short- and long-run mean of variance multiplied by ?.
?avg(var;M) + (1 ? ?) avg(var;N) = 2?var/(M+1-(M-1)L) + 2(1-?)var/(M+1-(M-1)L)
Solving for ? can be done by minimizing the mean squared error of estimation; that is, regressing L^-1var - avg(var; N) against avg(var; M) - avg(var; N) and using the resulting beta estimate as ?.
Average True Range
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges.
True Range Double
A special case of ATR that attempts to correct for volatility skew.
Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance. The standard deviation is calculated as the square root of variance by determining each data point's deviation relative to the mean. If the data points are further from the mean, there is a higher deviation within the data set; thus, the more spread out the data, the higher the standard deviation.
Adaptive Deviation
By definition, the Standard Deviation (STD, also represented by the Greek letter sigma ? or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. In technical analysis, we usually use it to measure the level of current volatility.
Standard Deviation is based on Simple Moving Average calculation for mean value. This version of standard deviation uses the properties of EMA to calculate what can be called a new type of deviation, and since it is based on EMA, we can call it EMA deviation. Additionally, Perry Kaufman's efficiency ratio is used to make it adaptive (since all EMA type calculations are nearly perfect for adapting).
The difference when compared to the standard is significant--not just because of EMA usage, but the efficiency ratio makes it a "bit more logical" in very volatile market conditions.
Median Absolute Deviation
The median absolute deviation is a measure of statistical dispersion. Moreover, the MAD is a robust statistic, being more resilient to outliers in a data set than the standard deviation. In the standard deviation, the distances from the mean are squared, so large deviations are weighted more heavily, and thus outliers can heavily influence it. In the MAD, the deviations of a small number of outliers are irrelevant.
Because the MAD is a more robust estimator of scale than the sample variance or standard deviation, it works better with distributions without a mean or variance, such as the Cauchy distribution.
Efficiency-Ratio Adaptive ATR
Average True Range (ATR) is a widely used indicator for many occasions in technical analysis. It is calculated as the RMA of the true range. This version adds a "twist": it uses Perry Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio to calculate adaptive true range.
Mean Absolute Deviation
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a measure of variability that indicates the average distance between observations and their mean. MAD uses the original units of the data, which simplifies interpretation. Larger values signify that the data points spread out further from the average. Conversely, lower values correspond to data points bunching closer to it. The mean absolute deviation is also known as the mean deviation and average absolute deviation.
This definition of the mean absolute deviation sounds similar to the standard deviation (SD). While both measure variability, they have different calculations. In recent years, some proponents of MAD have suggested that it replace the SD as the primary measure because it is a simpler concept that better fits real life.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Full Giga Kaleidoscope Backtest as shown on the chart above
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Vorext as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Coppock Curve as shown on the chart above
Continuation: Fisher Transform as shown on the chart above
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.
I11L - Better Buy Low Volatility or High Volatility?This Pine Script code defines a TradingView strategy called "I11L - Better Buy Low Volatility or High Volatility?". The strategy aims to study the difference between buying when an asset's volatility is low and when it is high. It allows the user to select whether to buy during low or high volatility periods by changing the input variable mode.
Here's a brief explanation of the System:
The strategy is initialized with relevant settings such as overlay, pyramiding, default quantity type, initial capital, and others.
The mode input allows the user to choose between "Buy low Volatility" and "Buy high Volatility" options.
volatilityTargetRatio is the user-defined threshold to be used for making buy decisions. A value of 1 equals the average ATR (Average True Range) for the security. A lower value indicates lower volatility.
atrLength is the number of periods to calculate the ATR.
sellAfterNBarsLength sets the number of bars to hold the position before selling it.
The script calculates the ATR using the ta.atr() function, and then divides it by the closing price to normalize the value. It also calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of the normalized ATR over a period of 5 times the ATR length, and then computes the ratio between the normalized ATR and its average.
The script keeps track of the number of holding bars using the variable holdingBarsCounter. When there are open trades, the holding bars counter is incremented.
The decision to buy is made based on the selected mode and whether the computed ratio is above or below the user-defined threshold.
When the holding bars counter exceeds the user-defined limit, the position is closed.
The script plots the computed ratio with different colors based on the buy and close conditions. The ratio is plotted in green when a buy signal is triggered, red when a close signal is triggered, and white in all other cases. The value of 1 (the reference for the average ATR) is also plotted on the chart in white color.
This strategy helps traders study the difference between buying during low and high volatility periods and compare the performance of these conditions. It can be useful for analyzing the effectiveness of volatility-based trading strategies, such as entering positions when the market is calm or during periods of strong price movement.
Self Optimizing Supertrend [Starbots]Self Optimizing Supertrend Strategy. (non-repainting)
Script constantly tests 15 Supertrend combinations for maximum profitability and trades based on the best performing combination.
You will notice that signal lines switch after a bar close sometimes, this is when the strategy optimizes to the better combination and change plots, strategy is dynamic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Average True Range (ATR)
The Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility. Unlike many of today's popular indicators, the ATR is not used to indicate the direction of price. Rather, it is a metric used solely to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
# Supertrend
A Super Trend is a trend following indicator similar to moving averages. It is plotted on price and the current trend can simply be determined by its placement vis-a-vis price. It is a very simple indicator and is constructed with the help of just two parameters- period and multiplier.
When we construct the Supertrend indicator strategy, the default parameters are 10 for Average True Range (ATR) and 3 for its multiplier. The average true range (ATR) plays a key role in ‘Supertrend’ as the indicator uses ATR to compute its value and it signals the degree of price volatility.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Turn on Supertrend Profit Dashboard and spot the worst/best performing combination. You can change them to get the best performance overall.
-Backtesting Range - backtest within your desired time window. Example: 'from 01 / 01 /2020 to 01 / 01 /2023'.
-Optimizing range - you can decrease the amount of bars/data for optimizing script. This way you can keep it up to date to more recent market by selecting optimizing range to optimize it just from the recent 3-6months of data for example. Strategy before this selected range will normally trade (backtest) based on the fifth buying condition (5. Supertrend Factor) parameter in your menu (1.6 by default) if you turn this on.
*I recommend 'Optimizing Range' turned off actually, use max amount of available bars in your history for optimization script.
- Strategy is trading on the bar close without repaint. You can trade Long-Sell or Long- Short. Alerts available, insert webhook messages.
- Turn on Profit Calendar for better overview of how your strategy performs monthly/annualy
- Recommended ATR Length : 10 (default), higher timeframes usually performs good on the shorter period lengths 6-10, smaller timeframes on the larger ATR period length 10-20.
- Recommended Sources : hl2 (default Supertrend), close, hlc3, hlcc4 (when scalping/day trading and market is uptrending good, you can use 'volume' as a source, comes in handy)
- Recommended Smoothing Moving Average for ATR : We smooth the ATR calculation with moving average, traders usually use SMA as a moving average here, but you can use alternatives like EMA, HMA. Try them if this improves your results.
- Recommended TF : 15min, 30min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 1d (low timeframes works good if you have no fees like Binance currently do on BTC for example otherwise you probably want to use 1/2h+ chart)
- Supertrend Factor parameters : pre-set Supertrend Factors are very good and common in trading world, you don't need to change them, but you can do it at free will. Traders usually use Supertrend factor of 2 or 3, use parameters around this numbers.
- Notes window : add your custom comments in or save your webhook message text inside here for later use.
- Trading Session: in a session, you have to specify the time range for every day. It will trade only within this window and close trades when it's out. Session from 9am to 5pm will look like that: 0900-1700 or 7am to 4:30pm 0700-1630. After the colon, you can specify days of the week for your trading session. 1234567 trading all days, 23456 – Monday to Friday ('1 is Sunday here'). 0000-0000:1234567 by default will trade every day nonstop. 00.00am to 00.00pm and 1234567 every day of the week for example - Cryptocurrencies.
This script is simple to use for any trader as it saves a lot of time for searching good parameters on your own. It's self-optimizing and adjusting to the markets on the go.
Strategy: Range BreakoutWhat?
In the price action, levels have a significant role to play. Based on the price moving above/below the levels - the underlying instrument shows some price-action in the direction of breakout/breakdown.
There are plenty of ways level can be determined. Levels are the decision point to take a trade or not. But if we make the level derivation complex, then the execution may get hamper.
This strategy script, developed in PineScript v5, is our attempt at solving this problem at the core by providing this simple, yet elegant solution to this problem.
It's essentially an attempt to Trade Simple by drawing logical (horizontal) lines in the chart and take actions, after multiple associated parameters confirmation, on the breakout / breakdown of the levels.
How?
Let us explain how we are drawing the levels.
We are depending on some of the parameters as described below:
Open Range : During intraday movement, often if prices move beyond a particular level, it exibits more movement in the same swing in same direction. We found out, through our back testing for Indian Indices like NSE:NIFTY , NSE:BANKNIFTY or NSE:CNXFINANCE the first 15m (i.e 09:15 AM to 09:30 AM, IST) is one of such range. For Indian stocks, it is 9:15 to 9:45. And for MCX MCX:CRUDEOIL1! it's 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. There are our first levels.
PDHCL : Previous Day High, Close, Low. This is our next level
VWAP : The rolling VWAP (volume weighted average price)
In the breakout/breakdown of the Open Range and Previous Day High/Low, we are taking the trade decisions as follows using CEST principle:
C onditions :
If current bar's (say you are in 5m timeframe) closing is broken out the Open Range High or Previous Day High, taken a Buy/Long decision (let's say buying a Call Option CE or selling a Put Option PE or buying the future or cash).
If current bar's (say you are in 5m timeframe) closing is broken down the Open Range Low or Previous Day Low, taken a Sell/Short decision (let's say buying a Put Option CE or selling a Call Option PE or selling the future or cash).
Additionally, and optionally (default ON, one can turn off): we are checking various other associated multiple confirmations as follows:
1. Momentum : Checking 14-period RSI value is more than 50 or less than 50 (all parameters like period, OB, OS ranges are configurable through settings)
2. Current bar's volume is more than the last 20 bars volume average. How much more - that multiplier is also configurable. (default is 1)
3. The breakout candle is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
E ntry :
All of these happens only on the closing of the candle . Means: Non Repainting! .
Clearly in the chart we are showing as green up arrow BO (breakout for buy) and red down arrow BD (breakdown for sell) to take your decision process smooth.
So, on the closing of the decision BO/BD candle we are entering the trade (with a thumping heart and nail biting ...)
S top Loss :
We are relying on the time tasted (last 40 years) mechanism of Average True Range (ATR) of default 14 period. This default period is also configurable.
So for Long trades: the 14 period ATR low band is the SL.
For Short trades: the 14 period ATR high band is the SL.
T arget :
We are depending on the thump rule of 1:2 Risk Reward. It's simple and effective. No fancy thing. We are closing the trade on double the favorable price movement compared to the SL placed. Of course, this RR ratio is confiurable from the settings, as usual.
What's Unqiue in it?
The utter simplicity of this trading mechanism. No fancy things like complex chart pattern, OI data, multiple candlestick patterns, Order flow analysis etc.
Simple level determination,
Marking clearly in the chart.
Making each parameter configurable in Settings and showing tooltip adjacent to the parameter to make you understand it better for your customization,
Wait for the candle close, thus eliminating the chances of repainting menace (as much as possible)
Additional momentum and volume check to trade entry confirmation.
Works with normal candlestick (nothing special ones like HA ...)
Showing everything as a Summary Table (which, again can be turned off optionally) overlaying at the bottom-right corner of the chart,
Optionally the Summary Table can be configured to alert you back (say you get it notified in your email or SMS).
That way, a single, simple, effective trade setup will ease your journey as smooth sail as possible.
Mentions
There are plenty of friends from whom time to time we borrowed some of the ideas while working closely together over last one year.
From tradingview community, we took the spirit of @zzzcrypto123 awesome work done long back (in 2020) as the indicator "ORB - Opening Range Breakout". (We tried to reach him for his explicit consent, unable to catch hold of him).
Some other publicly available materials we have consulted to get the additional checks (like RSI, volume).
Lat word
Use it please and thank you for your constant patronage in following us in this awesome platform. Let's keep growing together.

The Only EURUSD Trading Strategy You Need - KaspricciThe Only EURUSD Trading Strategy You Need
I got the idea to this strategy from a youtube video uploaded by Trade Beta. It is designed to capture the early market move of major forex pair EURUSD at beginning of New York Stock Exchange (13:30 GMT). Trade Beta tested his strategy on the 5 minute chart. I have set all parameters to same values as shown in the video.
The strategy creates two pending orders at the recent swing high and low. Once the first pending order entered, the remaining one is cancelled. Latest at the end of market session all pending orders are cancelled and all open trade are closed as well.
In rare case that price at session opening is above swing high, only a pending sell stop order is created at swing high price. And in case price is below swing low, a pending buy stop order is created.
Settings
Trading Time - default: New York Stock Exchange opening hours. Pending orders are created at the close of the first candle within the session.
Swing High Source / Bars - default: High / 5 bars. Used to find the latest swing high within a range of 5 bars left and right. Price is used for buy stop order.
Swing Low Source / Bars - default: Low / 5 bars. Used to find the latest swing low within a range of 5 bars left and right. Price is used for sell stop order.
Stop Loss Type - default: ATR. You can switch between stop loss calculation based on Average True Range value or fixed value.
ATR Length / Factor / TP Ratio - default: 14 / 2.0 / 2.0. Used to calculate the Stop Loss as ATR * Factor and Take Profit as Stop Loss * TP Ratio.
FIX Stop Loss / Take Profit - default: 10 pips / 20 pips. In case you select Stop Loss Type = FIX, these value swill be used.
This strategy is for educational purposes only! It is not meant to be a financial advice.
Strategy Myth-Busting #6 - PSAR+MA+SQZMOM+HVI - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our sixth one we are automating is " I Tested ''7% Profit Per Day" Scalping Strategy 100 Times ( Unexpected Results ) " from " TradeIQ " which claims to have made 175% profit on the 5 min chart of BTCUSD with a having a 61% win rate in just 32 days.
Originally, we mimicked verbatim the indicators and settings TradeIQ was using however weren't getting promising results anything close to the claim so we decided to try and improve on it. We changed the static Parabolic SAR to be adaptive based upon the timeframe. We did this by using an adjustable multiplier for the PSAR Max. Also, In TradeIQ's revised version he substituted Hawkeye's Volume Indicator in lieu of Squeeze Momentum. We found that including both indicators we were getting better results so included them both. Feel free to experiment more. Would love to see how this could be improved on.
This strategy uses a combination of 4 open-source public indicators:
Parabolic Sar (built in)
10 in 1 MA's by hiimannshu
Squeeze Momentum by lazybear
HawkEYE Volume Indicator by lazybear
Trading Rules
5m timeframe and above. We saw equally good results in the higher (3h - 4h) timeframes as well.
Long Entry:
Parabolic Sar shifts below price at last dot above and then previous bar needs to breach above that.
Price action has to be below both MA's and 50MA needs to be above 200MA
Squeeze Momentum needsd to be in green or close to going green
HawkEYE Volume Indicator needs to be show a green bar on the histagram
Short Entry:
Parabolic Sar shifts above price at last dot below and then previous bar needs to breach below that.
Price action needs to be above both MA's and 50MA needs to be below 200MA
Squeeze Momentum needsd to be in red or close to going red
HawkEYE Volume Indicator needs to be show a red bar on the histagram
If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.
[Sextan] PINEv5 Sextans Backtest Framework V3.3Level: 5
Background
In order to celebrate the breakthrough of 4000 followers of my account, I decided to release the Sextan backtesting framework for free use to help more quantitative traders quickly evaluate any technical indicators.
The version released this time is based on the algorithm framework optimization of the old version, and integrates the new feature in Pine V5: Bar Magnifier. This new feature to make Sextan strategy backtesting even more accurate. FYI.
www.tradingview.com
Backtesting of technical indicators and strategies is the most common way to understand a quantitative strategy. However, the complicated configuration and adaptation work of backtesting many quantitative tools makes many traders who do not understand the code daunted. Moreover, although I have written a lot of strategies,
However, I am still not very satisfied with the backtest configuration and writing efficiency. Therefore, I have been thinking about how to build a backtesting framework that can quickly and easily evaluate the backtesting performance of any indicator with a "long/short entry" indicator, that is, a "simple backtesting tool for dummies". The performance requirements should be stable, and the operation should be simple and convenient. It is best to "copy", "paste", and "a few mouse clicks" to complete the quick backtest and evaluation of a new indicator.
Luckily, I recently realized that TradingView provides an "Indicator on Indicator" feature, which is the perfect foundation for doing "hot swap" backtesting. My basic idea is to use a two-layer design. The first layer is the technical indicator signal source that needs to be embedded, which is only used to provide buy and sell signals of custom strategies; the second layer is the trading system, which is used to receive the output signals of the first layer, and filter the signals according to the agreed specifications. , Take Profit, Stop Loss, draw buy and sell signals and cost lines, define and send custom buy and sell alert messages to mobile phones, social software or trading interfaces. In general, this two-layer design is a flexible combination of "fixed and flexiable", which can meet the needs of most traders to quickly evaluate the performance of a certain technical indicator. The first layer here is flexible. Users can insert their own strategy codes according to my template, and they can draw buy and sell signals and output them to the second layer. The second layer is fixed, and the overall framework is solidified to ensure the stability and unity of the trading system. It is convenient to compare different or similar strategies under the same conditions. Finally, all trading signals are drawn on the chart, and the output strategy returns. test report.
The main function:
The first layer: "{Sextan} Your Indicator Source", the script provides a template for personalized strategy input, and the signal and definition interfaces ensure full compatibility with the second layer. Backtesting is performed stably in the backtesting framework of the layer. The first layer of this script is also relatively simple: enter your script in the highlighted custom script area, and after ensuring the final buy and sell signals long = bool condition, short = bool condition, the design of the first layer is considered complete. Input it into the PINE script editor of TradingView, save it and add it to the chart, you can see the pulse sequence in yellow (buy) and purple (sell) on the sub-picture, corresponding to the main picture, you can subjectively judge that the quality of the trading point of the strategy is good Bad.
Pine v4 your indicator template:
Pine v5 your indicator template:
Pine v4 your MTF indicator template:
Pine v5 your MTF indicator template:
The second layer: "{Sextan} PINEv4 Sextans Backtest Framework". This script is the standardized trading system strategy execution and alarm, used to generate the final report of the strategy backtest and some key indicators that I have customized that I find useful, such as: winning rate , Odds, Winning Surface, Kelly Ratio, Take Profit and Stop Loss Thresholds, Trading Frequency, etc. are evaluated according to the Kelly formula. To use the second layer, first load it into the TrainingView chart, no markers will appear on the chart, since you have not specified any strategy source signals, click on the gear-shaped setting next to the "{Sextan} PINEv4 Sextans BTFW" header button, you can open the backtest settings, the first item is to select your custom strategy source. Because we have added the strategy source to the chart in the previous step, you can easily find an option "{Sextan} Your Indicator Source: Signal" at the bottom of the list, this is the strategy source input we need, select and confirm , you can see various markers on the main graph, and quickly generate a backtesting profit graph and a list of backtesting reports. You can generate files and download the backtesting reports locally. You can also click the gear on the backtest chart interface to customize some conditions of the backtest, including: initial capital amount, currency type, percentage of each order placed, amount of pyramid additions, commission fees, slippage, etc. configuration. Note: The configuration in the interface dialog overrides the same configuration implemented by the code in the backtest script.
How to output charts:
The first layer: "{Sextan} Your Indicator Source", the output of this script is the pulse value of yellow and purple, yellow +1 means buy, purple -1 means sell.
The second layer: PINEv4 Sextans Backtest Framework". The output of this script is a bit complicated. After all, it is the entire trading system with a lot of information:
1. Blue and red arrows. The blue upward arrow indicates long position, the red downward arrow indicates short position, and the horizontal bar at the end of the purple arrow indicates take profit or stop loss exit.
2. Red and green lines. This is the holding cost line of the strategy, green represents the cost of holding a long position, and red represents the cost of holding a short position. The cost line is a continuous solid line and the price action is relatively close.
3. Green and yellow long take profit and stop loss area and green and yellow long take profit and stop loss fork. Once a long position is held, there is a conditional order for take profit and stop loss. The green horizontal line is the long take profit ratio line, and the yellow is the long stop loss ratio line; the green cross indicates the long take profit price, and the yellow cross indicates the long position. Stop loss price. It's worth noting that the prongs and wires don't necessarily go together. Because of the optimization of the algorithm, for a strong market, the take profit will occur after breaking the take profit line, and the profit will not be taken until the price falls.
4. The purple and red short take profit and stop loss area and the purple red short stop loss fork. Once a short position is held, there will be a take profit and stop loss conditional order, the red is the short take profit ratio line, and the purple is the short stop loss ratio line; the red cross indicates the short take profit price, and the purple cross indicates the short stop loss price.
5. In addition to the above signs, there are also text and numbers indicating the profit and loss values of long and short positions. "L" means long; "S" means short; "XL" means close long; "XS" means close short.
TradingView Strategy Tester Panel:
The overview graph is an intuitive graph that plots the blue (gain) and red (loss) curves of all backtest periods together, and notes: the absolute value and percentage of net profit, the number of all closed positions, the winning percentage, the profit factor, The maximum trading loss, the absolute value and ratio of the average trading profit and loss, and the average number of K-lines held in all trades.
Another is the performance summary. This is to display all long and short statistical indicators of backtesting in the form of a list, such as: net profit, gross profit, Sharpe ratio, maximum position, commission, times of profit and loss, etc.
Finally, the transaction list is a table indexed by the transaction serial number, showing the signal direction, date and time, price, profit and loss, accumulated profit and loss, maximum transaction profit, transaction loss and other values.

Useful for daily trading over all type of asset, from Stock to Crypto, Forex and Commodities. It works best with 5min to 1hr graphs, if you are a intraday trader.
This is not a simple mashup of indicators, because you can add them as your own.
This script is more like a tool to understand price action based on indicators position . Thanks to cross call based on MACD , RSI with EMA applied and few index realtime mapping, this tool will let you reduce time effort for graph analysis .
As extra feature it will let you to try different strategies , all fully customizable.
I've tried my best to keep it readble, and easy to use. The best way to learn to use it, is to disable all features from configuration and try one by one.
CONFIGURATION TIPS : Click "Settings Gear" in the Upper Right Corner and disable "Indicator Arguments"
HOW TO PROPER SETUP
Road to Dubai 3 is semiautomatic on finding best Long and Short areas, and plot on the chart.
From configuration menu you can set a Backtrace period and sensibility for RSI EMA10, RSI EMA80 and MACD on your Timeframe, 5min, 30min, 60min.
Usually when configured, those parameters works fine on almost every asset.
You only need to start understanding signals.
STANDARD FEATURES
VWAP : Green/Red line. It will reset everyday at 00.00.
EMA80 : White Line
BLUELINES : Positive and negative overextend value from VWap . This is based on a range of bar and it will extend on the opposite side the lower or higher candle. Useful for understading where price can arrive, expecially if a spike will appear.
Those indicators are quite useful for understading trends, price positions and maximum price range.
RSI EMA10 OVERBOUGHT / OVERSOLD
Yellow arrow marks where RSI arrived at his Top or Bottom. If on different timeframes (5min, 30min and 60min) something similar happen area is filled with Red or Green.
This is base on EMA10 applied to RSI (I usually refer at it as Yellow Line on my indicator HighFreq Trader)
To find good values please try High Freq Trader 1.3
RSI EMA80 CALL
Red Cross or Green Square advice for a really potential inversion of trend. When a Silver bar appear, this means the same call was triggered on different Timeframe in the sametime.

Ranged Volume DCA Strategy - R3c0nTraderUpdate: Republishing this as Public Open-Source script.
Credits:
Thank you "EvoCrypto" for granting me permission to use "Ranged Volume" to create this strategy.
Thank you "junyou0424" for granting me permission to use "DCA Bot with SuperTrend Emulator" which I used for adding bot inputs, calculations, and strategy
What does this do?
This script is mainly used for backtesting a Ranged Volume strategy to see how a 3Commas bot would perform.
I created this script out of necessity and I wanted a way to test a 3Commas DCA bot with a strategy based on “Volume.”
I came across "EvoCrypto’s" "Ranged Volume" study and strategy in TradingView and I liked it. I wanted to configure it so it can be used for DCA bot backtesting. I used parts from "junyou0424’s" "DCA Bot with SuperTrend Emulator" to add the following:
1. The Start Time and End Time
2. Price deviation to open safety orders (%)
3. Target Take Profit (%)
4. Trailing deviation
5. Base Order and Safety Order
6. Safety order volume scale
7. Safety order step scale
8. Max safety orders
In addition to the above, I also added chart indicators for "Take Profit" as well as "Safety Order"
Pre-requisites:
You can use this script without a 3Commas account and see how 3Commas DCA Bot and Ranged Volume strategy would perform vs. a non-DCA strategy. However, I highly recommend signing up for their free account and going through their training. This would give you a base understanding on the settings you will see in this strategy and why you will need to know them.
That said these are the pre-requisites I suggest you have:
1. Base Knowledge of 3Commas DCA bots
2. Base knowledge of settings such as “Max safety trades count”, “safety order volume scale” and “safety order step scale”. If these are alien to you, I suggest you read up on these.
3. Knowledge of setting up a Single-pair 3Commas bot for receiving custom TradingView signal.
4. A paper-bot to test your ideas. (Do not use a real money bot until you have tested it sufficiently with a paper-bot. You alone are responsible for your results!)
5. Add the study I created called "R3c0nTrader’s Ranged Volume Study” which adds a separate chart in its own pane showing the volume spikes. It will also generate the “buy” signals for your bot. NOTE: The study also has the same color scheme as this strategy and having the colors in both the strategy and the study will make things easier to see. If you use EvoCrypto’s Ranged Volume Study instead, just keep in mind that the colors won’t match, and you will have to manually match them.
6. Make your buy signals from your strategy are the same as in your study! To do this, use the same “Volume Range Length” you entered in the STRATEGY and enter that value for the “Volume Range Length” in the STUDY. Also ensure you have the same settings for “Heikin Ashi” (On or Off).
Comparisons of Ranged Volume Strategy vs Ranged Volume DCA Strategy
BTCUSD
Beware of Strategies that claim super high profits. This can easily be done by lowering the initial capital to something unrealistic. If I did that with this strategy and set the initial capital $100 and base order size to $100, I get a net profit of 2,864% which is not realistic.
How to Use
1. On the “Inputs” tab:
a. Set your Start and End Time to backtest against.
b. Set your “Volume Range Length” (number of bars to look back)
c. “Heikin Ashi Colors” – Usually I leave this enabled
d. “Show Bar Colors” – Leave enabled
e. “Show Break-Out” – Leave enabled
f. “Show Range” – Leave enabled
g. Set your other inputs which are those settings you would find in your 3Commas bot that you want to test (e.g., Price deviation to open safety orders, Target Take Profit, Base order, Safety order, etc.).
h. Quick Example for BTCUSD on 2hr chart:
i. Price deviation to open safety orders (%) = 6
ii. Target Take Profit (%) = 14
iii. Trailing deviation = 0
iv. Base order = 100
v. Safety order = 200
vi. Safety order volume scale = 2
vii. Safety order step scale = 1.4
viii. Max safety order = 5
2. On the “Properties” tab, set your initial capital, base currency, etc.
a. Initial capital – Default is 10,000 (Please use realistic values here. The amount here should be able to cover ALL your safety orders if they were triggered. Ideally, you should have funds left over and not use all trade capital.)
b. Base currency – Select your currency
c. Order Size - Not used. Use the “Inputs” tab to change your base order size.
d. Leave “Pyramiding” set to 999. This acts as a ceiling to the “Max safety orders” on the “Inputs” tab. It must always be higher than your “Max safety orders.” For example, if you set your “Max safety orders” to “4” and “Pyramiding” to “4” then it effectively means you have “3” “Max safety orders” and not “4” because it is counting each successive entry including the initial order.
e. “Commission” - Optional
f. “Verify price for limit orders” – Leave at zero. This does not change anything that I can tell.
g. Optional - Enter a value for “Commission”
h. Slippage – Optional. Slippage does not occur in backtesting but does occur in real trading but it can be simulated. Example use case for tracking performance of a real money bot: You enter the start date and time of your bot’s trade into this strategy and you notice some values are a little off due to slippage (average price, take profit, safety orders are not lining up) then you would go back here and increase the slippage until those lines up close enough with your actuals.
i. Margin for long positions – I don’t use this honestly.
j. Margin for short positions – I don’t use this honestly.
k. Recalculate “After order is filled” and “On every tick” – I don’t use this honestly.
3. “Style” tab
a. Ranged Volume Bar Coloring - You must disable bar coloring in any studies you added or this may not work properly
i. Color 0 – Default Yellow; appears when a volume breakout occurs
ii. Color 1 – Default Red; appears when a volume breakdown occurs
iii. Color 2 – Light Blue; appears when Close is higher than the Open
iv. Color 3 – Dark Blue; appears when the Close is lower than the Open
b. Take profit – Default Green; take profit line
c. Safety order – Default Light Blue; safety order line
d. No Safety Orders left – Default Red; when a trade runs out of safety orders, the line turns red and there is no safety orders left underneath to catch any further falling price movements.
e. Avg Position Price – Default Orange; your average position price for any given trade.
f. Take Profit Plot Area – Default Green; creates a highlighted area for your take profit
g. SO Plot Area – Default Light Blue; creates a highlighted area for your safety orders
h. Trades on chart – Show or hide your trades on the chart
i. Signal labels – Show or hide the trade signal labels on the chart
j. Quantity – Show or hide the trade quantity on the chart
Explanation of Chart lines and colors on chart
Profit Maxima: a crypto strategyThis strategy is designed for those who are looking for long-term positions with low risk and high profitability.
How does it work?
In short, the basis of this strategy is the frequent modeling of the price using regression equations and the estimation of the range of price movements.
The price modeling process starts from the first bars and will be repeated on each bar. This process is performed in each candle based on the data available up to that candle, and data for subsequent bars is not used.
There is also no fixed price model, but it will change from one candle to the next; Therefore, the more candles there are, the larger the statistical population and therefore the quality of the price model increases.
I have also used the concept of scarcity. Bitcoin is the first scarce digital object in the world. Once something becomes scarce enough, it can be used as money. This scarcity gradually increases and affects the price. The entire crypto market also follows Bitcoin.
However, always remember that past results in no way guarantee future performance.
Why this strategy generates a small number of trades?
Preston Pysh believed Bitcoin cycles happen in three phases: the Bull Run, the Correction, and the Reversion to the Mean. He estimates there are about 200,000 blocks per cycle and there are about 144 blocks per day.
Therefore, each cycle of Bitcoin lasts about four years. The entire crypto market follows bitcoin. On the other hand, cryptocurrency is a new phenomenon. They have a limited price history.
This strategy is designed to open a long position at the lowest possible price. In addition, due to the concept of scarcity and its continued impact on prices, trading in the “short” direction is avoided.
The combination of these factors leads to generate a small number of trades. However, you can test it on several different charts to make sure it works properly.
Default settings
{ default_qty_type } = strategy.percent_of_equity
{ default_qty_value } = 3.3
{ commission_value } = 0.1
{ pyramiding } = 3
{ close_entries_rule } = "ANY"
In a simple word, buy (Entry) and sell (take-profit) orders are each done at three different levels. At each level, 3.3% of equity is used (9.9% in total)
0.1% commission is considered for each transaction.
“close_entries_rule” determines the order in which orders are closed. The default is FIFO (first in, first out), but in this strategy, orders are executed in “first in, last out” order. In this way, the lowest buy (Entry) order corresponds to the lowest sell (take profit) order.
Choose the best chart
Charts have a significant impact on the performance of the strategy. As mentioned, the more historical bars there are, the larger the statistical population and therefore the quality of the price model increases.
You can use the Chart Quality panel to choose the appropriate chart:
The ‘Historical Bars’ field shows the number of candles in the chart. Choose the chart of an exchange that has the most historical bars.
The ‘Recommended Chart’ field shows the suggested chart for some symbols.
The “Predictability” field indicates to what extent price movements can be predicted using the model; the higher the “predictability”, the more credible the results of the strategy. "Predictability" indicates that the results of the strategy are reliable or not.
The image below shows the recommended chart for 20 different symbols:
How to use
You don't need automated trading platforms to use it. It can be used by placing simple buy and sell (take-profit) orders manually.
The green and red lines indicate the 'Entry' and 'Profit' levels respectively. If there is no order (buy / sell) active on one of these levels, it will be displayed in gray. The corresponding values are displayed in the Entry & Profit Limits table.
After choosing the appropriate chart, you can use this table to place your orders manually.
Note that trading in the "short" direction is not recommended at all.

Alpha Candle Breakout Signal on Momentum from Support Resistance
Hello traders,
Let’s start with a brief description of what this strategy/indicator is and what it does and how we trade based on Alpha Candles.
The definition of an Alpha Candle is that it is mathematically calculated, and significantly bigger than the previous candles. This could be a green candle or a red candle, as long as the body is significantly bigger than the previous candles at the end of the calculation. All calculations are done in real time, we do NOT paint the candle sticks after the close of the candle and do not use offset values. This is extremely important. You will see the candle changing it's color as the body of the candle gets bigger with real time data feed. (Recalculate On Every Tick is ON by default). Now besides the mathematical calculations, an Alpha Candle also represents the emotion in the market for that stock in that moment. We can also say that an Alpha Candle is a change in the momentum.
Now that we’ve identified the Alpha candle, the second step is, to have a look at the chart and identify if the Alpha candle is breaking to a new high / low from a consolidation period, or from a good chart pattern (ascending / descending triangle , pennant , sideways consolidation) or a sudden direction change of the stock (bounce). Remember, the script will paint all Alpha candles regardless.
NVAX day trading example
Forex
Crypto
PLUG (Bounce example)
The script will identify the Alpha candles that are breaking to a new high / low from a user input look back period (default is 20 bars back, but this can be changed by the user input). An Alpha candle that breaks the look back period, will have a stop loss line below for Green Alpha or above for Red Alpha Candle and reward targets, like target1 or target2 (both are user input fields, can be adjusted to personal R values, default values are 2R and 3R)
A 2R means two times the reward (profit) of a 1-unit risk. If you are comfortable of loosing $50 per trade which will be considered 1-unit, then 2R means $100 reward (profit) target and a 3R is $150 reward (profit) target. Those R values will be plotted and/or labelled on the chart with dollar amounts if desired. You can change your R values from the user input area, even with decimal points, like 2.5R or 3.75R. If you shoot for at least 2R, you could be wrong 6 times out of 10, and still make 2R profit, as long as the other 4 trades give you a total of 8R. This is a basic trading concept. It will force the new traders to focus on risk/reward rather then a gambling attitude.
The script is meant to work with candle stick chart patterns only, it is NOT meant to work with ranges, line charts or point and figure charts. It will work with time frames like (seconds,1,2,3,5,10 minute or any minutes, daily, weekly). If you are trading IPOs , there might not be enough data for the script to do the calculation, so just be aware.
The script will identify the candles if they are Green Alpha (going up, bullish ) or Red Alpha (going down, bearish ). In order to see them clearly, we’ve greyed out the rest of the candles, and made Green Alpha candles white, and Red Alphas are left as red. You can change the colors from the user input area.
There is also a look back period, between 1-55 and the initial value is 20 for Green Alpha and 10 for Red Alpha. So, if the Alpha Candle breaks this look back period, it will be considered as an opportunity to take the trade. The code will put the stop loss area, possible target1 and target2 areas with a blue diamond and will draw the resistance/support lines for that Alpha candle. Depending on the individual’s risk tolerance, a label on the right side of the screen will show the risk tolerance (user input value) and the number of shares to be traded based on the risk tolerance (# of shares will be for the last Alpha Candle that is formed, it will constantly update itself with the new Alpha Candle)
For those who might be familiar with the three-bar play, we implemented something similar, so the code will find them in real time. Once an Alpha Candle is formed, if the following candle is a very small candle, also called pin bar , it will be painted to orange, so you can see it clearly. This pin bar is significantly smaller than the previous candles and formed right after an Alpha Candle.
Like anything in life, nothing is free. Meaning you have to work for it. So if you are looking to buy/sell blindly based on some indicators and signals, please do not consider this script. However, once you start using it, you will see how patterns repeat, when they repeat and how they repeat. It will identify the action, but you have to check the validity from the charts, so user discretionary is advised. As an example, if the Alpha candle is breaking from a consolidation period at $10. Let’s assume stop loss is at $9 so the 2R target will be $12, but if there is a possible resistance at $11, then the trader has to decide to take the trade for a possible 1R return, or skip the trade.
We try to approach the trading as a set of rules and processing the trades one by one, with a calculated risk and reward. This script will give you the Candle stick formation that is worth consideration and will draw the Stop Loss area (you can tweak this to your liking), will draw the 2-3R Targets, and will calculate the number of shares to be purchased based on the Risk Tolerance user entered in the user input area. The rest is to let the trade take care of it self.
Charts and patterns work better, when there is enough volume in a particular stock. If the stock is trading very low in volume , things will not work as expected. So, we must focus on the abnormal stocks, like gap gainers, volume gainer stocks, or heavily traded stocks (for intraday trading). For swing or long-term traders, one could look for a Green Alpha candle, assess the risk and possible return and trade the plan on a daily chart pattern (long term), or 15,30,60 min charts for swing trades.
If you are looking to short a stock, look for stocks that are weak (gap downs), so look for Red Alpha formations in that stock.
Once the back testing is turned on, code will generate buy/sell signals, otherwise it will work as an indicator. But please keep in mind….. For day trading, the stock has to be abnormally trading, so the chart patterns and the Alpha Candles work correctly. Volume has to be more than usual. It is the best way to have predictable results for day trading. If the volume of the stock is 2-5 times or more than the average of 20 days period (early in the morning), and even more later in the day, it is a good indication that the stock is trading on an abnormal volume with some news (pre-market abnormality is a good sign for possible abnormality for that stock).
For back testing, user can select from the user input area :
• Long or Short Trades or both or use the script as an indicator
• Close any open position if an Alpha candle forms in the opposite direction
• Pyramid the trades up to 4 levels (allow to buy/sell 4 times in the same direction every time another Alpha Candle forms)
• Breakout/breakdown look back period (every time an Alpha Candle forms and breaks this look back period, it will be a trade opportunity)
• Target Reward areas
• Stop Loss area
• Time frame (change the time frame and observe which time frame made good profit. Test the plan for future trades. Test it in as many abnormal stocks for the day they were behaving abnormal as possible). Time frame is not a user input field, just the time frame of the chart, 2,5,10 min, 1 hour etc.
• Selective date testing (between two dates/times). This is very important as most of the good opportunities comes from abnormal price action with volume . If you back test with the maximum amount of data for that abnormal stock on that day, it will produce unrealistic results, because the stock will have a normal course of trend before the news. Remember, we are looking for stocks that are trading abnormal in both price and volume or stocks like AAPL , TSLA which are trading heavily on each day. It is also a good way to learn, how and when to buy/sell, where to put stop losses by observing the chart with the Alpha Candles showing the results.
• All the above values will have an impact on the total profit / loss.

Now that we’ve covered what the script does, let’s plan the trade and trade the plan.
Side Note:
-------------
We started coding this as an indicator to show the Alpha Candles to find opportunities in the market. Later in the development, we implemented it as a Strategy, to be able to back test the ideas, to tweak some rules for entry/exit and see the effects on our profit/loss percentages in general. We kept the original idea being an Indicator, to show us the Alpha Candles in real time. This requires the option “Indicator Mode” is to be selected from the User Input area, and leaving the “Recalculate On Every Tick” is selected from the Properties tab of the strategy (as of Pine Script v5). Strategy is turning this “On” by default.
Disclaimer: This script is an educational and personal use only tool and should be used accordingly. User can not publish any images created with this code. Do your own due diligence, do not buy / sell stocks based on any indicator, always use stop losses. We do not make any promises as this indicator or any indicator will make you a profitable trader. Trading and technical analysis is difficult, it takes time to build confidence and experience. Study the charts and candlestick formations. Study support/resistance areas and how to identify them. This will help you to tweak the script’s stop loss areas and 2R-3R targets. Do not invest any money you are not comfortable loosing.
This is an invite only strategy. We will give ample time to test it out. After that you will need to subscribe. To get access to this strategy trader can send me an email from the links below.
All the Best

Cava Signals Backtesting/VisualizerPLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY
Trying this again, as it seems I keep violating the rules unintentionally. Moderator, please forgive me as I try to make this right.
This backtesting/visualizer script was created for me to get a visual idea of the Cava Signals indicator throughout its development time and continuous optimization.
This script is to be used on the 30-minute timeframe on supported markets, and whether I can only publish strategies on regular candles, the indicator is meant to trigger on heikin ashi candles.I understand backtesting on non-regular candles produces unrealistic results, but I emphasize that this script is more for visualization purposes rather than accurate $ amounts from the trades. The signals are used along with a dedicated bot configuration, so part of the strategy is not managed by the script, but by the bot's config.
Some behind the scenes on what we are looking at:
a combination of ema and sma crosses on different time frames (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m and 90m) - we call this the wave trend
a combination of stochastic rsi on different time frames (10m, 30m)
a combination of schaff trend cycles on different time frames (5m, 20m and 30m)
a combination of money flow index on different time frames (10m and 30m)
volume information for each supported market/pair
and a couple of other info particular to each pair
With the above combination of data points, we try to optimize our strategy for an entry, for dca'ing down in case the coin goes down as well as dca'ing up to maximize profit when a coin is going up, take profit levels when we recognize a good time to do so, and of course, a closing level. I would like to emphasize the *visualization* purpose of this script in recognizing lows, highs, and market structure to identify the important levels to signal - this script is NOT to be used for accurate backtesting, but for an idea of the overall performance of when signals are triggered.
Let me try to explain the workflow and icons you see on the chart:
The colored circles on the bottom of the chart are all buy signals; each color corresponds to a particular buy signal, we have a combination of 9 possible situations that would trigger a buy signal. Some would trigger a buy signal only in combination with other buy signals or other indicators within the script. we also display a green upwards arrow below bars when a buy signal is triggered.
The colored arrows pointing down on the top of the chart are close signals. We have a combination of 5 closing criteria each color corresponds to one, just like the buy signals do. We only close a trade in profit. If not in profit, we will look to DCA down.
DCA signals are shown by the green flag above bars. they are signals to DCA up or down depending on the trade being negative or positive. DCA'ing up or down is also managed by the bot's configuration for limits on when to accept the signal.
Take Profit levels are shown by the green diamond above bars and work in conjunction with the bot's config on when to take the signal if at all and other take profit levels. Usually, when we hit the first take profit level we move our stop loss to entry via the bot's take profit safety feature. You can see this call with the close entry named TPS .
The black bars you may see on the chart is to illustrate when the market is extended based on a particular strategy. During this period we will not trigger a buy signal unless there is a huge spike in positive volume .
The green number below the bars is the total positive delta volume on the buy candles.
On the table on the right upper corner, we show some information on the market and performance of the backtesting - for visualization purposes only!
Currently, the script is tailored to work with the following markets/pairs:
Binance Spot: ADA, ALGO, ATOM, AVAX, BNB, BTC , DOT, ETH, LINK, LUNA, MATIC, SOL, VET, XRP, XTZ
Binance Futures: BTC , ETH, ADA, ALGO, ATOM, BNB, COMP, DOT, ENJ , LINK, OCEAN, OMG, SOL, VET, XMR, XRP, XTZ, AVAX, AAVE, DOGE, LTC, LUNA, MKR , NEAR, ONT, RUNE, SUSHI, LTC, XLM , COMP, ONT, THETA, FTM , EGLD , WAVES, ONE, HTN , CHZ , HOT, MANA, CRV , RVN, BAT, ANKR, 1INCH, ALICE, ATA , AXS , CHR , COTI, NKN , RAY, REN, SRM , SXP , TLM
ByBit Inverse Perpetual: BTCUSD , ETHUSD
ByBit Futures: AAVE, ADA, ALGO, AVAX, AXS , BNB, BTC , DOT, ETH, LINK, LTC, MATIC, SOL, SUSHI, UNI , XEM, XRP, XTZ
The chosen pairs are subject to change based on the best-performing assets we are constantly analyzing.
I hope this helps to understand the script, its purpose and ideas. I hope this satisfies the community rules - it was not my intention to break them - if there's anything on the above or the script that still violates the guidelines, please let me know and accept my apologies in advance.
If anyone would like to know more, let me know in the comment section.
Thank you!
3Commas DCA Bot Strategy v1.0Introduction
The strategy attempts to implement a majority all of the settings found on the 3Commas DCA Bot setting page that can be implemented within a TradingView indicator. Specifically, it will implement the "Open new trade ASAP" and "Trading View Custom Signal" deal start conditions. In this way, you can leverage the power of TradingView's backtester to model your settings and analysis past performance as well as leverage TradingView's alert notification subsystem to send Deal Start and Close signals to 3Commas using almost any of the thousands of scripts found in the Public Library (see "What does it do and how does it do it?" section below for more information on how to do this using the RSI indicator as an example).
How is it original and useful?
This strategy is unique in that it's the only one (as of the initial publications) that can handle 28 out of 32 bot settings (88% coverage) that are found on the 3Commas bot settings page. In addition, because it is a TradingView script, you will benefit from the following:
Model your bot's configuration using the backtester on any timeframe and evaluate its performance using the chart's history.
View a table of detailed statistics pertaining to deals started and completed, win/loss rates, daily P&L, true max drawdown, and detailed statistics on bars in deal along with safety orders filled.
View a table of "Used amount for each step" as presented in 3Commas as well.
Ability to link to almost any TradingView chart indicator that provides a single data point for buy/sell signals.
Make use of the 3Commas TA Start Conditions indicator to emulate the 3Commas built-in indicators for further performance evaluation with the backtester.
How does it compare to other scripts in the Public Library?
This strategy offers a very detailed, comprehensive settings and maybe the only one (as of the initial publication) that can handle 28 out of the 32 bot settings that are found on the 3Commas bot settings page (that can be handled within TradingView, because some cannot be modeled due to chart and language constraints). Specifically, the following 3Commas bot settings and inputs are addressed with asterisks denoting specific limitation due to TradingView's platform architecture and/or constraints:
Main settings
✅ Name
❌ Exchange* (Not handled since it is inherited from chart)
⚠ Bot type* (Only Single-pair because you simply apply the indicator to as many pairs you desire in separate charts to simulate a Multi-pair setting)

✅ Max safety trades count (a total of 100 safety orders are supported!)
⚠ Max active safety trades count* (Not handled since there is no equivalence in TradingView)
✅ Price deviation to open safety orders (% from initial order)
✅ Safety order volume scale
✅ Safety order step scale
Advanced settings
✅ Don't start deal(s) if the daily volume is less than
✅ Minimum price to open deal
✅ Maximum price to open deal
⚠ Deal start delay (QFL and standard TV signals only)* (modified to use "bars" as the unit of measure)
✅ Cooldown between deals
✅ Open deals & stop
Close deal after timeout
⚠ The time after which, deal will be closed automatically* (modified to use "bars" as the unit of measure)
In addition to the above inputs, the script will also support the same output data points that are found on the bot settings page, which are:
Assistant
✅ Balance
✅ Max amount for bot usage (Based on current rate)
✅ Max safety order price deviation
✅ % of available balance to be used by the bot
Table (Used amount for each step)
✅ Order No.
✅ Deviation %
✅ Order Size (Base currency)
✅ Order Volume (Quote currency)
✅ Price
✅ Average price
✅ Required price
✅ Required change
✅ Total Size (Base currency)
✅ Total Volume (Quote currency)
What does it do and how does it do it?
When applied to the chart for the first time, the default settings will work to execute the "Open new trade asap" deal start condition using a take profit of 4%, a base order size of 1.335% of equity (initial capital + net profit), a safety order size of 2.003% of equity (initial capital + net profit), a safety order volume scale of 1.5, a safety order step scale of 1.21, and a max safety trades count of 8. With these settings, as you scroll through the chart's history you should see price action crossing the DCA layers (denoted with blue triangles), and a green take-profit price line will render (with green triangle denoting the crossings). Lastly, in the upper-right corner of the chart the table of DCA statistics will render showing you all the gathered data that took place since the chart's starting history until the current time.
Using the "TV Custom Signal" section will allow you to "link" other chart indicators to supply "Start" and "Close" signals for the script. For example, here's how you can use the standard RSI indicator to generate an entry signal:
1) Add the stock RSI indicator and configure it to your desire.
2) Select the "RSI" indicator in the "Chart/Indicator Data Point" input.
3) Select "Chart/Indicator Data Point" in the "Start Deal When" input.
4) Select "Less Than" in the "Is" input.
5) Select "Custom Value(s)" in the "The Value Of" input.
6) Enter "25" in the "Custom Value 1 (Single or Lower Bound)" input.
7) Select "Trading View Custom Signal" in the "Open new trade" input (in the DEAL START CONDITION section).
8) Lastly, check the checkbox with a horizontal straight line above the "Start Deal When" input.
This means that the indicator will start a deal when the "RSI indicator" is "Less Than" the value of "25".
Strategy Results
The default settings are designed 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 chart above is 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 3.22581% of the equity for the Base Order Size, 6.45161% of equity for the first Safety Order Size. The Maximum Safety Trade Count is 4 with a Safety Order Volume Scale of 2, a Safety Order Step Scale of 1.53, Price Deviation To Option Safety Orders at 5.3, and a take profit of 4.5% with Trailing turned on at a deviation of 1.5%. All other settings are defaults.
It is recommended that the indicator be "tuned" for your specific market in order to best implement the strategy and obtain better desirable results. You do so by using the backtester and statistics table and observe the output values and learn how the indicator is performing in the chart history. Using this information, you can adjust the settings accordingly until you find the settings acceptable to your trading goals and risk tolerance.
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.

Have nice day and send me a message if u will earn with my strategy.
If u want my code send me a message
for info send me a message
Point of possible Reversal (PPR): forex Strategypoint of possible Reversal, PPR :
in this strategy I have tried to find out the possible Reversal points in the forex pairs. It’s the most resisted levels from where the trend takes up a particular direction. These PPR can lead the price in any direction depending upon the time zone its happening in.
In this strategy once the code finds a PPR it then checks for suitable time zone then it checks for the RSI confirmation, it checks for the Parkinson Volatility, it checks for internal Bar Strength (refer below for more information)
The following setting details will help you in the understanding the strategy and indicator used:
This indicator contains the following setting:
1.Fixed trading sessions for Long and Short
i. Fixed trading session for long trades (long position can be taken in that period of time only)
ii. Fixed trading session for short trades (Short position can be taken in that period of time only)
The concept behind restricting the time to go long or short is because in forex the particular pair move in a particular direction depending upon the currency and time zones.
This strategy works on different forex pairs, you need to find the best settings. I will be providing the best settings which works for this strategy and different pairs.
2.Setting for back test selection date range you can check the beck test of a particular time range.
3.You can check Long and Short positions performance separately, by unchecking the “ Go_long ” option it will remove all long positions from back test. Vice versa for “ Go_short "option
4.Internal Bar Strength
IBS is simply an indicator where you buy on weakness and sell on strength, the cornerstone of any mean-reverting strategy.
It oscillates from zero to one and measures the relative position of the closing price relative to the High and Low.
IBS = (Close – Low) / (High – Low)
In the input setting the you can disable enable the IBS option from the strategy.
5. Parkinson volatility
Parkinson volatility is a volatility measure that uses the stock’s high and low price of the day (can be changed in the setting, instead of day it can be set to any bar length)
The main difference between regular volatility and Parkinson volatility is that the latter uses high and low prices for a day, rather than only the closing price.
In the setting you have three option
1. Enter Volatility Threshold
If the Parkinson volatility value is greater than the the threshold value then it lets the trade happen.
2.Set the high/low bar time frame for calculating Parkinson volatility. ( Set 60m by default)
Formula used as below:
high_=security(syminfo.ticker, input("60"), high)
low_=security(syminfo.ticker, input("60"), low)
hourlyRangeSquared = pow((log(high_) - log(low_)), 2)
dailyParkinsonVol = sqrt(sum(hourlyRangeSquared, 24) / (4 * log(2)))
6. "Enter no of contract size"
This setting helps you to set the contract size , by default it is set to 100000.
7.This setting is for the PPR, in this you can change the search of PPR in another time frame, you can add higher timeframe PPR in the chart, by default the PPR is set to search for current time frame PPR.
8.Futrther confirmation of trade is done through the RSI criteria . In this I have provided four kind of RSI confirmation you can test all by selecting any one of the four.
1. filter trade on the basis of BB of RSI (as shown in the image)
2. filter trade on the basis of RSI Levels (RSI>50 for long, vice versa for short)
3. filter trade by rsi>basis of BB of RSI(for long) & rsi<50(for short)
4. filter trade by rsi>50(long) & rsi< basis of BB of RSI(short)
SELECT ONLY ONE OF THE ABOVE IN SETTING.
9.For Exiting the trade I have used the trailing SL you can change it in setting.
You can exit the trade using two targets (two take profit) using different size for editing the trade.
If you want to take only on target then you have to make QANTITY of shares for 1st Exit as 100. Then you will exit all your position in the first target achieved.

TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Strategy™TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Strategy is the strategy backtester version of ™TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Filter .
===================================================================================================================
Features of ™TradeChartist Donchian Channels Breakout Strategy
========================================================
Option to plot Donchian Channels of user preferred length, based on the Source price in addition to High/Low Donchian Channels.
Generates trade entries based on user preferred Breakout Price. For example, if the user prefers HL2 as breakout price, irrespective of the Donchian Channels type, trade entries are generated only when hl2 price (average of high/low) breaks out of the upper or lower band.
Option to plot background colour based on Breakout trend. The bull zones are filled with green background, the Bear zones are filled with red background and the bar that broke out is filled with orange background.
Option to colour price bars using Donchian Channels price trend. The Donchian Channels basis line is plotted using the same colours as coloured bars as default.
Note: This script does not repaint. To use the script for trade entries, wait for the bar close without Backtester or Strategy entries (with Backtester) and use a second confirmator (includes fundamentals) based on asset type as some markets require users to have good pulse on the fundamentals as trading by Technicals/price action dynamic alone may not be safe.
Note: Trend Based Stochastic of the same DC Length can be used from ™TradeChartist Risk Meter for Trade Confirmations too.

888 BOT #backtest█ 888 BOT #backtest (open source)
This is an Expert Advisor 'EA' or Automated trading script for ‘longs’ and ‘shorts’, which uses only a Take Profit or, in the worst case, a Stop Loss to close the trade.
It's a much improved version of the previous ‘Repanocha’. It doesn`t use 'Trailing Stop' or 'security()' functions (although using a security function doesn`t mean that the script repaints) and all signals are confirmed, therefore the script doesn`t repaint in alert mode and is accurate in backtest mode.
Apart from the previous indicators, some more and other functions have been added for Stop-Loss, re-entry and leverage.
It uses 8 indicators, (many of you already know what they are, but in case there is someone new), these are the following:
1. Jurik Moving Average
It's a moving average created by Mark Jurik for professionals which eliminates the 'lag' or delay of the signal. It's better than other moving averages like EMA , DEMA , AMA or T3.
There are two ways to decrease noise using JMA . Increasing the 'LENGTH' parameter will cause JMA to move more slowly and therefore reduce noise at the expense of adding 'lag'
The 'JMA LENGTH', 'PHASE' and 'POWER' parameters offer a way to select the optimal balance between 'lag' and over boost.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
2. Range filter
Created by Donovan Wall, its function is to filter or eliminate noise and to better determine the price trend in the short term.
First, a uniform average price range 'SAMPLING PERIOD' is calculated for the filter base and multiplied by a specific quantity 'RANGE MULTIPLIER'.
The filter is then calculated by adjusting price movements that do not exceed the specified range.
Finally, the target ranges are plotted to show the prices that will trigger the filter movement.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
3. Average Directional Index ( ADX Classic) and ( ADX Masanakamura)
It's an indicator designed by Welles Wilder to measure the strength and direction of the market trend. The price movement is strong when the ADX has a positive slope and is above a certain minimum level 'ADX THRESHOLD' and for a given period 'ADX LENGTH'.
The green color of the bars indicates that the trend is bullish and that the ADX is above the level established by the threshold.
The red color of the bars indicates that the trend is down and that the ADX is above the threshold level.
The orange color of the bars indicates that the price is not strong and will surely lateralize.
You can choose between the classic option and the one created by a certain 'Masanakamura'. The main difference between the two is that in the first it uses RMA () and in the second SMA () in its calculation.
4. Parabolic SAR
This indicator, also created by Welles Wilder, places points that help define a trend. The Parabolic SAR can follow the price above or below, the peculiarity that it offers is that when the price touches the indicator, it jumps to the other side of the price (if the Parabolic SAR was below the price it jumps up and vice versa) to a distance predetermined by the indicator. At this time the indicator continues to follow the price, reducing the distance with each candle until it is finally touched again by the price and the process starts again. This procedure explains the name of the indicator: the Parabolic SAR follows the price generating a characteristic parabolic shape, when the price touches it, stops and turns ( SAR is the acronym for 'stop and reverse'), giving rise to a new cycle. When the points are below the price, the trend is up, while the points above the price indicate a downward trend.
5. RSI with Volume
This indicator was created by LazyBear from the popular RSI .
The RSI is an oscillator-type indicator used in technical analysis and also created by Welles Wilder that shows the strength of the price by comparing individual movements up or down in successive closing prices.
LazyBear added a volume parameter that makes it more accurate to the market movement.
A good way to use RSI is by considering the 50 'RSI CENTER LINE' centerline. When the oscillator is above, the trend is bullish and when it is below, the trend is bearish .
6. Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) and ( MAC-Z )
It was created by Gerald Appel. Subsequently, the histogram was added to anticipate the crossing of MA. Broadly speaking, we can say that the MACD is an oscillator consisting of two moving averages that rotate around the zero line. The MACD line is the difference between a short moving average 'MACD FAST MA LENGTH' and a long moving average 'MACD SLOW MA LENGTH'. It's an indicator that allows us to have a reference on the trend of the asset on which it is operating, thus generating market entry and exit signals.
We can talk about a bull market when the MACD histogram is above the zero line, along with the signal line, while we are talking about a bear market when the MACD histogram is below the zero line.
There is the option of using the MAC-Z indicator created by LazyBear, which according to its author is more effective, by using the parameter VWAP ( volume weighted average price ) 'Z-VWAP LENGTH' together with a standard deviation 'STDEV LENGTH' in its calculation.
7. Volume Condition
Volume indicates the number of participants in this war between bulls and bears, the more volume the more likely the price will move in favor of the trend. A low trading volume indicates a lower number of participants and interest in the instrument in question. Low volumes may reveal weakness behind a price movement.
With this condition, those signals whose volume is less than the volume SMA for a period 'SMA VOLUME LENGTH' multiplied by a factor 'VOLUME FACTOR' are filtered. In addition, it determines the leverage used, the more volume , the more participants, the more probability that the price will move in our favor, that is, we can use more leverage. The leverage in this script is determined by how many times the volume is above the SMA line.
The maximum leverage is 8.
8. Bollinger Bands
This indicator was created by John Bollinger and consists of three bands that are drawn superimposed on the price evolution graph.
The central band is a moving average, normally a simple moving average calculated with 20 periods is used. ('BB LENGTH' Number of periods of the moving average)
The upper band is calculated by adding the value of the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average. ('BB MULTIPLIER' Number of times the standard deviation of the moving average)
The lower band is calculated by subtracting the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average.
the band between the upper and lower bands contains, statistically, almost 90% of the possible price variations, which means that any movement of the price outside the bands has special relevance.
In practical terms, Bollinger bands behave as if they were an elastic band so that, if the price touches them, it has a high probability of bouncing.
Sometimes, after the entry order is filled, the price is returned to the opposite side. If price touch the Bollinger band in the same previous conditions, another order is filled in the same direction of the position to improve the average entry price, (% MINIMUM BETTER PRICE ': Minimum price for the re-entry to be executed and that is better than the price of the previous position in a given %) in this way we give the trade a chance that the Take Profit is executed before. The downside is that the position is doubled in size. 'ACTIVATE DIVIDE TP': Divide the size of the TP in half. More probability of the trade closing but less profit.
█ STOP LOSS and RISK MANAGEMENT.
A good risk management is what can make your equity go up or be liquidated.
The % risk is the percentage of our capital that we are willing to lose by operation. This is recommended to be between 1-5%.
% Risk: (% Stop Loss x % Equity per trade x Leverage) / 100
First the strategy is calculated with Stop Loss, then the risk per operation is determined and from there, the amount per operation is calculated and not vice versa.
In this script you can use a normal Stop Loss or one according to the ATR. Also activate the option to trigger it earlier if the risk percentage is reached. '% RISK ALLOWED'
'STOP LOSS CONFIRMED': The Stop Loss is only activated if the closing of the previous bar is in the loss limit condition. It's useful to prevent the SL from triggering when they do a ‘pump’ to sweep Stops and then return the price to the previous state.
█ BACKTEST
The objective of the Backtest is to evaluate the effectiveness of our strategy. A good Backtest is determined by some parameters such as:
- RECOVERY FACTOR: It consists of dividing the 'net profit' by the 'drawdown’. An excellent trading system has a recovery factor of 10 or more; that is, it generates 10 times more net profit than drawdown.
- PROFIT FACTOR: The ‘Profit Factor’ is another popular measure of system performance. It's as simple as dividing what win trades earn by what loser trades lose. If the strategy is profitable then by definition the 'Profit Factor' is going to be greater than 1. Strategies that are not profitable produce profit factors less than one. A good system has a profit factor of 2 or more. The good thing about the ‘Profit Factor’ is that it tells us what we are going to earn for each dollar we lose. A profit factor of 2.5 tells us that for every dollar we lose operating we will earn 2.5.
- SHARPE: (Return system - Return without risk) / Deviation of returns.
When the variations of gains and losses are very high, the deviation is very high and that leads to a very poor ‘Sharpe’ ratio. If the operations are very close to the average (little deviation) the result is a fairly high 'Sharpe' ratio. If a strategy has a 'Sharpe' ratio greater than 1 it is a good strategy. If it has a 'Sharpe' ratio greater than 2, it is excellent. If it has a ‘Sharpe’ ratio less than 1 then we don't know if it is good or bad, we have to look at other parameters.
- MATHEMATICAL EXPECTATION: (% winning trades X average profit) + (% losing trades X average loss).
To earn money with a Trading system, it is not necessary to win all the operations, what is really important is the final result of the operation. A Trading system has to have positive mathematical expectation as is the case with this script: ME = (0.87 x 30.74$) - (0.13 x 56.16$) = (26.74 - 7.30) = 19.44$ > 0
The game of roulette, for example, has negative mathematical expectation for the player, it can have positive winning streaks, but in the long term, if you continue playing you will end up losing, and casinos know this very well.
PARAMETERS
'BACKTEST DAYS': Number of days back of historical data for the calculation of the Backtest.
'ENTRY TYPE': For '% EQUITY' if you have $ 10,000 of capital and select 7.5%, for example, your entry would be $ 750 without leverage. If you select CONTRACTS for the 'BTCUSDT' pair, for example, it would be the amount in 'Bitcoins' and if you select 'CASH' it would be the amount in $ dollars.
'QUANTITY (LEVERAGE 1X)': The amount for an entry with X1 leverage according to the previous section.
'MAXIMUM LEVERAGE': It's the maximum allowed multiplier of the quantity entered in the previous section according to the volume condition.
The settings are for Bitcoin at Binance Futures (BTC: USDTPERP) in 15 minutes.
For other pairs and other timeframes, the settings have to be adjusted again. And within a month, the settings will be different because we all know the market and the trend are changing.
TrendMaAlignmentStrategy - Long term tradesThis is another strategy based on moving average alignment and HighLow periods. This is more suitable for long term trend traders and mainly for stocks.
Candle is colored lime if : Lookback Period has at least one bar with moving averages fully aligned OR None of the bars in Lookback periods has negatively aligned moving averages (More than half are positively aligned).
Candle is colored orange if : Lookback Period has at least one bar with moving averages fully aligned in negative way OR none of the bars in lookback has positively aligned moving averages (More than half are negatively aligned).
If either of above conditions are met, candle is colored silver.
Moving average alignment parameters:
Moving Average Type : MA Type for calculating Aligned Moving Average Index
Lookback Period : Lookback period to check highest and lowest Moving Average index.
HighLow parameters:
Short High/Low Period: Short period to check highs and lows
Long High/Low Period: Longer Period to check highs and lows.
If short period high == long period high, which means, instrument has made new high in the short period.
ATR Parameters:
ATR Length: ATR periods
StopMultiplyer: To set stop loss.
ReentryStopMultiplyer: This is used when signal is green buy stop loss on previous trade is hit. In such cases, new order will not be placed until it has certain distance from stop line.
Trade Prameters:
Exit on Signal : To be used with caution. Enabling it will allow us to get out on bad trades early and helps exit trades in long consolidation periods. But, this may also cause early exit in the trend. If instrument is trending nicely, it is better to keep this setting unchecked.
Trade direction : Default is long only. Short trades are not so successful in backtest. Use it with caution.
Backtest years : limit backtesting to certain years.

Other strategies based on these two studies are below (which are meant for short - medium terms):
T3-CCI Strategy [SystemAlpha]This is a strategy based on FX Sniper's T3-CCI indicator. Instead of using just the normal buy and sell signal, we added an option to use trend filters, trailing stop loss and take profit targets.
In this strategy you have a choice of:
Trend Filters:
- Average Directional Index ( ADX ) – buy when price is trend is up and sell when trend is down.
- Moving Average (MA) – buy when price close above the defined moving average and sell when price close below moving average
- Parabolic SAR – buy when SAR is above price is above price and sell when SAR is below price.
- All - Use ADX , MA and SAR as filters
For MA Filter , you can use the “TF MA Type” and "TF MA Period" parameter to select Simple or Exponential Moving Average and length.
Stop Loss:
- Average True Range (ATR) – ATR % stop as trailing stop loss.
- Parabolic SAR ( SAR ) – Parabolic SAR adapted as trailing stop loss.
For ATR , you can use the “ATR Trailing Stop Multiplier” parameter to set an initial offset for trailing stop loss.
Take Profit Target:
- Average True Range (ATR) – ATR % stop as trailing stop loss.
- Standard % – Percent as target profit
For ATR , you can use the “ATR Take Profit Multiplier” parameter to set an initial offset for trailing stop loss.
Additional feature include:
- Show Bar Colors
STRATEGY ONLY:
- Set back test date range
- Set trade direction - Long, Short or Both
- Use timed exit - Select method and bars
- Method 1: Exit after specified number of bars.

TTM Scalper Strategy [SystemAlpha]This is a strategy based on TTM scalper indicator. Instead of using just the normal buy and sell signal, we added an option to use trend filters, trailing stop loss and take profit targets.
The TTM scalper indicator of John Carter’s Scalper Buys and Sells was originally created by HPotter and is as a close approximation of the one described in his book Mastering the Trade.
In this study you have a choice of:
Trend Filters:
- Average Directional Index ( ADX ) – buy when price is trend is up and sell when trend is down.
- Moving Average (MA) – buy when price close above the defined moving average and sell when price close below moving average
- Parabolic SAR – buy when SAR is above price is above price and sell when SAR is below price.
- All - Use ADX , MA and SAR as filters
For MA Filter , you can use the “TF MA Type” and "TF MA Period" parameter to select Simple or Exponential Moving Average and length.
