V4 Update is finally here, lots of cool new features which will help you define the back testing accuracy more deeper

Changelog:
- added second AltFilter - now you can use one or two AltFilters simulaneusly
- add MultiMA - very powerful bunch of different MAs to filter signals given by main algo. BUYs only allowed above MA, SELLs only below.
- TPs and SL can be set as percent (default) or as pips (Forex market), for pips you have to choose pip value i.e 0.0001 for most currency pairs (excluding JPY)
- added option to offset entry value send in alert to make sure order will fill (for BUY -% value is added to algo entry price, for SELL it is substracted)
- COOS (Close on opposite signal) function recoded - now it works always (only LONG, only SHORT, LONG and SHORTS). If checked algo close trade when hit SL/BE or the highest TP or opposite signal appear. When turned off trade will stay opened till hit SL/BE or the highest TP.

v4.55 - fixed trailing SL - choosing start TP not worked.

12 dic 2021

Note di rilascio

1) Fix of bug which users found - Strategy not close TP2 order in correct place.
2) Solution for situation where trigger TP for BE hit and BE hit on the same candle. Today (first pictur) strategy ignore BE at this candle. After update (second picture) if BE and trigger TP are on the same candle, strategy close trade on next candle open. It's not accurate (BE should close on open trade price), but it's only way to solve this problem and make backtester more accurate. Backtester not operate on tick data so it doesn't know how price behaved inside history candle. So better assume that after trigger TP hit price also hit moved SL to BE. Due to change many results of backtester where BE was used (mostly triggered by TP1) and low TP1 percent will show worse results, but they will be more like live trading results.

AltAlgo Pro & AltAlgo Pro Tester v5.0
We've just made our perfect AltAlgo even better. Current update not only migrates code of AltAlgo to the newest pine script version which is v5 but it also add new feature which is SuperTrend filter. SuperTrend is popular indicator based on ATR multiplier and ATR length. In most cases it is used to trail stoplosses. We've taken different approach and add it as a trend filter. Rules are the same as usage of MultiMA, If the current price is above SuperTrend only BUYs are allowed, below SuperTrend only SELLs are allowed. Our implementation of SuperTrend is MTF (multi timeframe) which means you can take it from timeframe equal to chart timeframe or higher i.e your chart is 5min but you can use SuperTrend from 15min or 1h timeframe to get better trend indication. To use this awesome brand new feature just mark checkbox near SuperTrend and choose Multiplier (default 3) and ATR Period (default 10). If you do manual trading you can also only plot SuperTrend - just leave unchecked
