Zazzamira 50-25-25 Trend SystemPublishing my trading system script. It consist of several conditions to happen in order to open a trade. Work best on ES/MES 5 minute timeframe.
I like to use it with this settings:
- UTC -6 (don't tick Exchange Timezone)
and rest as default
To enter a trade, the following conditions must be met: Entry 1: the opening range (8:30AM - 9:15AM UTC-6) must be defined and the price must close above or below the opening range on the 5-minute timeframe. This entry condition defines the trade direction (above = long / below = short). Once the opening range is defined, the Trend-Based Fib Extension is applied from the range high to the range low (and vice versa). Fib levels are required for Exit conditions. Entry 2: the 8 - 27 - 67 - 97 EMAs must be defined. If the EMAs value order is 8 > 27 > 67 > 97, long-only trades are allowed. If the EMAs value order is 8 < 27 < 67 < 97, short-only trades are allowed. This entry condition filters fake breakouts of Entry 1. Entry 3: no trades are allowed after 12:59 UTC-6 (2PM EST). Entry 4: if Entry 1, Entry 2, and Entry 3 conditions are valid and the price hasn't reached the 23.6% Fib line, an entry order can be set at the range high/long with 4 contracts. To exit a trade, the following conditions must be met: Exit 1 (Stop loss): set a trailing stop based on 2.1x ATR (14) from entry. Exit 2: take 50% profits at the 23.6% Fib and leave trailing stop untouched. Exit 3: if Exit 2 triggers, take 50% (25% of total entry) off at 61.8% Fib, leaving Exit 2 trailing stop values valid. Exit 4: exit the full position at the FIB 100% value. Exit 5: all trades must be closed at 3pm UTC-6 (4PM EST). So basically Take Profit are 50%-25%-25% of position.
Code has been written by © Hiubris_Indicators who has been an amazing coder and gave me the possibility to make this script public so a really big shoutout to him.

Basic Position Calculator (BPC)In trading, proper position sizing is essential to managing risk and maximizing returns. The script provided is a Basic Position Calculator that allows traders to quickly and easily calculate their position size, stop loss, take profit, and risk reward ratio for a given trade.
The script starts by defining several inputs for the user to customize the calculations. The first input is the "Account Size", which specifies the total amount of funds available for the trade. The next input is "Risk Amount %", which is the percentage of the account size that the trader is willing to risk per trade. The "Stop Loss" input specifies the maximum amount of loss that the trader is willing to accept, while the "Reward" input is the desired profit target for the trade. Finally, there is a "Position" input that allows the user to specify where on the chart the table of calculations will be displayed.
The script then calculates the position size, stop loss, take profit and risk reward ratio using the user-specified inputs. The position size is calculated by dividing the risk amount by the stop loss. The stop loss is calculated by multiplying the stop loss percentage by the close price, and the take profit is calculated by multiplying the stop loss percentage by the close price and the reward. Risk-reward ratio is the ratio of amount of profit potential to the amount of risk in a trade.
The script then creates a table and displays the calculated values on the chart at the specified location. The table includes the following information: account size, position size, account risk %, stop loss, stop loss %, take profit, take profit % and risk reward ratio. This allows the trader to quickly and easily see all the key calculations for their trade in one place.
Overall, the Basic Position Calculator script is a valuable tool for any trader looking to quickly and easily calculate their position size, stop loss, take profit, and risk reward ratio for a given trade. The ability to customize the inputs and display the calculations on the chart makes it a useful and user-friendly tool for managing risk and maximizing returns.
Trading Channel for BTCThe goal is to visualize, through basic but robust information, a channel that frames the price action, whose referenced limits and lines are indicative of potential entries and exits.
It is a simple but enormously reliable base for the development of different strategies.
The parameters for the script have been optimized for BTC. It shows good results in all time frames.
Red lines: support of closures and lows (indicative of potential points of purchase).
Green lines: resistance of closures and highs (indicative of potential points of sale).
Orange-gray line: proposed stop loss for long positions, at a ratio of 2:1.
Yellow line: midpoint of channel (as a reference for trend change detection or even possible take-profits).
White line: 8-period simple moving average (SMA).
Gray line: 21-period SMA.
Pink line: standard pivot.
Purple line: 3-period simple moving average pivot.
Blue lines (deactivated by default): standard range of support and resistance pivots (according to the studies of John L. Person).
A channel of support and resistance indicative of potential entry points is shown, both for short and long positions. The channel is based on the closures and the lowest and highest lows and highs of the last 21 periods, shifted one period.
In addition to showing the channel of support and resistance, the script also includes the display of two SMAs (simple moving averages) of 8 and 21 periods, as well as standard and 3-period simple moving average pivots, which can be used as support for entry decisions.
The script allows the user to develop more or less aggressive strategies, conditioning the entries to the price's contact, closure, or distance from the different proposed support and resistance lines, and confirming the same entries through possible SMA and/or pivot crosses, and exits in the same way.
The standard range of support and resistance lines, deactivated by default, is a consultation tool for the higher time frames (month, week, day) for the location of strong supports and resistances that may recommend or, on the contrary, discourage the execution of entries.
The strong point of the script is the visualization of a reliable channel within which the price action develops with basic and repetitive behavior: when the price touches one of the limits, it then goes to the opposite one. Based on that foundation, with the help of the indicators that are most familiar and/or reliable for the user, an infinity of strategies suitable for all types of traders can be developed.
This script is just a consultation tool with didactic goals, it should not be used as an investment recommendation and the information provided should not be relied upon as such.
----------
Se pretende visualizar por medio de información básica pero robusta, un canal que enmarca la acción del precio, cuyos límites y líneas referenciadas son indicativos de potenciales entradas y salidas.
Resulta una base simple pero enormemente confiable para el desarrollo de diferentes estrategias.
Los parámetros para el script han sido optimizados para BTC. Muestra buenos resultados en todos los marcos temporales.
Líneas rojas: soportes de cierres y mínimos (indicativas de puntos potenciales de compra).
Líneas verdes: resistencias de cierres y mínimos (indicativas de puntos potenciales de venta).
Línea gris anaranjada: propuesta de stop loss para posiciones en largo, a razón de 2:1.
Línea amarilla: punto medio de canal (como referencia para detección de cambios de tendencia o incluso posibles take-profit).
Línea blanca: SMA (promedio móvil simple) de 8 periodos.
Línea gris: SMA de 21 periodos.
Línea rosa: pivote estándar.
Línea morada: pivote de media simple de 3 periodos.
Líneas azules (desactivadas por defecto): abanico de pivotes de soportes y resistencias estándar (según los estudios de John L. Person).
Se muestra un canal de soportes y resistencias indicativas de puntos potenciales de entradas tanto en corto como en largo. El canal se basa en los cierres y los mínimos y máximos más bajos y más altos de los últimos 21 periodos, desplazados un periodo.
Además de mostrar el canal de soportes y resistencias, el script incluye también la visualización de dos SMA's (promedios móviles simples) de 8 y 21 periodos, así como pivotes estándar y de media simple de 3 periodos, que se pueden utilizar como apoyo para las decisiones de entrada.
El script permite al usuario desarrollar diferentes estrategias más o menos agresivas, condicionando las entradas al contacto, al cierre o al alejamiento del precio respecto a las diferentes líneas de soporte y resistencia propuestas, pudiendo confirmar las mismas entradas por posibles cruces de SMA's y/o pivotes, y las salidas de igual manera.
El abanico de soportes y resistencias estándar, desactivadas por defecto, son herramienta de consulta para los marcos temporales más altos (mes, semana, día) para localización de resistencias y soportes fuertes, que pudieran recomendar o, por el contrario, desaconsejar la ejecución de entradas.
El punto fuerte del script es la visualización de un canal confiable dentro del que se desarrolla la acción del precio con un comportamiento básico y repetitivo: al tocar el precio uno de los límites, se dirige después al opuesto. Sobre esa base, con la ayuda de los indicadores que resulten más conocidos y/o confiables para el usuario, se pueden desarrollar infinidad de estrategias adecuadas para todos los tipos de trader.
Este script es solo una herramienta de consulta con objetivos didácticos, no debe ser utilizado como recomendación de inversión y no se debe confiar en ella como tal.

Reverse Engineering RSI II - EMARSI and SMARSIThis is the Reverse Engineering EMARSI and SMARSI Indicator.
It’s based on the work of Giorgos Siligardos on Reverse Engineering RSI.
The Reverse Engineering EMARSI and SMARSI Indicator shows the Exponential Moving Average and the Simple Moving Average of the RSI line but plotted in the price chart.
This script is also a complement of "Reverse Engineering RSI, by Giorgos Siligardos" script by HPotter but can also be used alone.
By default the RevEngSMARSI is turned off.
The RevEngEMARSI is the white line.
I’ve also added to the indicator:
1) Simple Moving Average (MA) of the EMARSI (EMARSI SMA) - Orange Line
2) Standard Deviation Bands for the EMARSI SMA - turned off by default
Using the settings I left in default (Length's = 1), we can see that when the EMARSI SMA is horizontal the price rises and so does the EMARSI. Also when the EMARSI SMA rises that's a signal that there is a resistance/support at that price. We can observe such thing if we draw horizontal lines at those prices. We can use this to help us put stop-losses and take profits. Also, those resistance/suport prices are ALWAYS the closing price of the first red candle after a bullish trend (big or small trends). Interesting...
When the EMARSI SMA rises and touches the EMARSI 3 things can happen:
- Bullish Trend slows down
- Correction of price
- Trend reversal
So, when the EMARSI SMA rises that can be interpreted as a signal for taking profits.
We should always wait for the price to close in the timeframe we're using, because sometimes the EMARSI SMA rises before the closing price and flattens again when is about to close.
However we should never take decisions based on 1 indicator. Our trading decision should always take in consideration multiple sources of information.
Of course we can use other settings for the trading. And if we do that we will observe different behaviours. And we should also study those behaviours. We can then use the crosses between the lines.
If there is something wrong with the code or its calculations, please let me know.
If you want to modify or improve the code, feel free to do that, but please let me know the changes you made.
This Indicator works in all timeframes. I hope you enjoy it!
Entry helperHello traders,
This is a script I use daily as a scalper and it helps me a lot, maybe it can help you, this is why I am sharing it!
PART 1 - DESCRIPTION
This program is specifically designed to help scalpers but can be used for all types of trading but won't be as useful.
This script is what I call an entry helper as it calculates dynamically the position size, stop loss and take profit levels and more.
When scalping and placing market entry orders, the price can move significantely while you are calculating your position size according to your stop loss, capital, risk and especially close price that changes very quickly, this results in a risk that is not ideally controlled and personally was a source of frustration and stress. I wanted to enter my quantity and stop loss values as fast as possible and make the process easier.
This script automates the calculation of the position size, stop loss and take profit levels according the the users input and prints the data visibly on the screen so it is easy to copy by the trader. It allows the trader to be confident that his risk is as controlled as possible.
The script is easy to use and set up, this guide will help you if you have any difficulies or questions.
PART 2 - HOW TO USE THE SCRIPT
- SET THE CAPITAL SETTINGS
1 - Set your capital value in $
- SET THE TRADE SETTINGS
2 - Set your trade side (BUY or SELL)
3 - Set you desired risk in % of your capital
- ENTRY SETTINGS
4 - Set your entry from 2 different options
|MARKET| (default option)
This option will place the entry level at the last available price
|LIMIT|
This option allows you to input a fixed price level for the entry
- STOP LOSS SETTINGS
5 - Select your stop loss placement from 4 different options
|EXTREMA STOP LOSS| (default option)
This option will place the stop loss at the highest/lowest (extrema) price level within the last N candles
|ATR EXTREMA|
This option uses the same price level as the EXTREMA STOP LOSS but will add/soustract the last ATR value (calculated on the N last candles) multiplied by a coefficient that you input
|TICKS EXTREMA|
This option uses the same price level as the EXTREMA STOP LOSS but will add/soustract a number of ticks that you input
|PRICE LEVEL|
This option allows you to input a fixed price level for the stop loss
- TAKE PROFIT SETTINGS
6 - Select your take profit from 3 different options
|NONE| (default option)
This option will not display any take profit level, I have added this option as I don't have take profit targets
|RR|
This option uses a risk to reward ratio (reward/risk) that you input, it will automatically calculate the take profit level that corresponds
|PRICE LEVEL|
This option allows you to input a fixed price level for the take profit
- QUANTITY AND FEE SETTINGS
7 - Set the quantity settings, it represents the quantity in a lot (usually 100 000 in forex, 100 in stocks 1 for crypto currencies)
8 - Set the fee per quantity (turning lot)
- VISUAL SETTINGS
9 - Show or remove the tab
- TAB SETTINGS
10 - Select the data that you want to display in the tab (the tab will adapt automatically)
NOTES:
The vertical dashed line shows what candle has been used for the calculation of the stop loss, it allows you to visualize what candle the script has selected in case of an EXTREMA stop loss option.
I hope this helps you out! Any suggestions are welcome and I hope that the guide is clear enough.
Happy trading!
SuperTrend Multi Time Frame Long and Short Trading Strategy
Hello All
This is non-repainting Supertrend Multi Time Frame script, I got so many request on Supertrend with Multi Time Frame. This is for all of them ..I am making it open for all so you can change its coding according to your need.
How the Basic Indicator works
SuperTrend is one of the most common ATR based trailing stop indicators.
In this version you can change the ATR calculation method from the settings. Default method is RMA.
The indicator is easy to use and gives an accurate reading about an ongoing trend. It is constructed with two parameters, namely period and multiplier. The default values used while constructing a Supertrend indicator are 10 for average true range or trading period and three for its multiplier.
The average true range (ATR) plays an important role in 'Supertrend' as the indicator uses ATR to calculate its value. The ATR indicator signals the degree of price volatility .
The buy and sell signals are generated when the indicator starts plotting either on top of the closing price or below the closing price. A buy signal is generated when the ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price and a sell signal is generated when it closes below the closing price.
It also suggests that the trend is shifting from descending mode to ascending mode. Contrary to this, when a ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price, it generates a sell signal as the colour of the indicator changes into red.
A ‘Supertrend’ indicator can be used on spot, futures, options or forex, or even crypto markets and also on daily, weekly and hourly charts as well, but generally, it fails in a sideways-moving market.
How the Strategy works
This is developed based on SuperTrend.
Use two time frame for confirm all entry signals.
Two time frame SuperTrend works as Trailing stop for both long and short positions.
More securely execute orders, because it is wait until confine two time frames(example : daily and 30min)
Each time frame developed as customisable for user to any timeframe.
User can choose trading position side from Long, Short, and Both.
Custom Stop Loss level, user can enter Stop Loss percentage based on timeframe using.
Multiple Take Profit levels with customisable TP price percentage and position size.
Back-testing with custom time frame.
This strategy is develop for specially for automation purpose.
The strategy includes:
Entry for Long and Short.
Take Profit.
Stop Loss.
Trailing Stop Loss.
Position Size.
Exit Signal.
Risk Management Feature.
Backtesting.
Trading Alerts.
Use the strategy with alerts
This strategy is alert-ready. All you have to do is:
Go on a pair you would like to trade
Create an alert
Select the strategy as a Trigger
Wait for new orders to be sent to you
This is develop for specially for automating trading on any exchange, if you need to get that automating service for this strategy or any Tradingview strategy or indicator please contact me I am have 8 year experience on that field.
I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks,
Ranga
RSI Buy & Sell Trading ScriptThis is my first attempt at a trading script using the RSI indicator for Buy & Sell signals (so please be nice but would appreciate any constructive comments).
Starting with $100 initial capital and using 10% per trade
You can select which month the backtesting starts
There is also a monthly table (sorry can’t remember who I got this from) that shows the total monthly profits, but you’ll need to turn it on by going into settings, Properties and in the Recalculate section tick the “On every tick” box
It should do the following:
Open Buy order if the RSI > 68 and the current Moving Average is greater than the previous Moving average
• TP1 = 50% of Order at 0.4%
• TP2 = 50% of order at 0.8%
• SL = 2% below entry
• Close Buy order if the RSI < 30
Open Sell order if the RSI < 28 and the current Moving Average is less than the previous Moving average
• TP1 = 50% of Order at 0.4%
• TP2 = 50% of order at 0.8%
• SL = 2% above entry
• Close Buy order if the RSI < 60
I would like to build on this if you have any ideas/ code that could help like the following:
• Move the SL to break even when it hits TP1
• Move the SL to TP1 when TP2 hits
• Moving take profit code so I can let the some of the trade stay in play (activate if it hits 1% profit and close trade if price retracts 0.5%)

J2S Backtest: Steven Primo`s Big Trend StrategyIs it possible to benefit from big trend moves? In this study I present you a strategy that aims to capture big trend moves.
Created by trader Steven Primo, The Big Trend strategy is advocates and shared through his YouTube channel without restrictions.
Note:
This is not an investment recommendation. The purpose of this study is only to share knowledge with the community on TradingView.
What is the purpose of the strategy?
The strategy focuses on capturing the movement of trends, providing an entry signal for both LONG and SHORT positions.
To which time-frame of a chart is it applicable to?
According to the author, it is applicable to any chart in different markets.
What about risk management?
The author does not establish a risk management model for strategy. This is left to the definition of each trader.
How are the trends identified in this strategy?
A 20-periods Bollinger Bands with 0.382 deviation should be plotted on the chart. Prices above the upper band indicate an uptrend, on the other hand, prices below the lower band indicate an downtrend. Finally, prices between the two bands indicate sideways trend.
How to identify a signal for LONG entry?
The signal is given after five consecutive closes above the upper Bollinger band. After that, you must enter the trade after the first trade occurs above the high of the signal bar.
How to identify a signal for SHORT entry?
The signal is given after five consecutive closes below the lower Bollinger band. After that, you must enter the trade after the first trade occurs below the low of the signal bar.
Tips and tricks
In my backtest, I tried to prove the strategy from a position trading perspective, so I proposed use fixed stop-loss and take-profits. The stop-loss is defined as being low of the first bar that generated the movement until the signal bar. The value range from the stop-loss to the signal bar is used in determining the profit target. Given any trade, position closing will be triggered when the bar trading limit is reached.
Backtest features
Backtest parameters are fully customizable, for instance: number of bars inside a trend indicating trend maturity for entry, bar limit for trading entry (after a buy or sell signals). Also, the user chooses to validate only LONG or SHORT entries, or both. It is also possible to determine the specific time period for running the backtests.
Final message
In my tests, I noticed excellent results for other crypto pairs, for example: ETH/USDT, BNB/USDT, FIL/USDT, GALA/USDT and ILV/USDT. Of course, no one strategy works perfectly for every asset, crypto, and bond out there. That's why we should explore each trading model and carry out our backtests. Please, feel free to provide me with any improvement suggestions for the backtest script. Bear in mind, feel free to use the ideas in my script in your studies.
Strategy Backtesting Template [MYN]A few people have been asking me to share my backtesting template. Currently I use this as my starting point for validating existing strategies and developing new ones.

Joker Trailing TP BotTrailing Take Profit is used by the traders to increase their gains when the prices moves in a favorable direction. Let’s have a look at what is Trailing Take Profit and how it works.
What Is a Trailing Take Profit?
Trailing Take Profit is a term largely used in crypto, whereas you may encounter the term Trailing Stop in traditional trading describing almost the same thing, So what’s the difference between Trailing Take Profit and Trailing Stop? Trailing Stop is a type of Stop Loss automatically moving in the same direction as the asset’s price. Trailing Take Profit is nothing else than Trailing Stop activated after initial Take Profit is reached.
The main difference between these two is that Trailing Take Profit takes the profit in any case (altough it might be later annihilated by Trailing Stop). Thus, Trailing Take Profit reduces the risks that might’ve occurred using Trailing Stop alone. Trailing Take Profit is bound to the maximum of Take Profit price instead of just a price increase/decrease.
As you might notice, the terms Trailing Take Profit and Stop Loss are quite similar. To avoid confusion, in this article we will be talking about Trailing Take Profit as defined above.
Trailing Take Profit only moves in one direction. It is designed to lock in profit and limit losses. The trailing profit only moves up (in case of a long strategy) once the price has surpassed previous high and a new high has been established. If the trailing take profit moves up, it cannot move back down, thus securing the profit and preventing losses.
Trailing Take Profit allows the trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor’s favor. If the price changes direction and the change surpasses the previously set percentage the order will be closed.
How Does it Work?
For example if you buy BTC at the price of 10000, if you set a Take Profit at 11000 and a Trailing Take Profit at 5% :
If the price goes up to 10500, nothing happens because the Take Profit at 11000 has not been reached.
Then if the BTC price goes up top 11000, a Stop Order at 10450 will be set.
Then if the BTC price goes down to 10500, the Stop Order stays at 104500.
Then if the BTC price goes up to 12000, the Stop Order moves to 11400.
Then if the BTC price goes down to 11000, the Stop Order at 11400 is executed.
You see that without Trailing Take Profit, the buy order would have been sold at 11000. Thus, a trader would miss an earning opportunity at 11400.
Dual Fibonacci Zone & Ranged Vol DCA Strategy - R3c0nTraderWhat does this do?
This is for educational purposes and allows one to backtest two Fibonacci Zones simultaneously. This also includes an option for Ranged Volume as a parameter.
Pre-requisites:
First off, this is a Long only strategy as I wrote it with DCA in mind. It cannot be used for shorting. Shorting defeats the purpose of a DCA bot which has a goal that is Long a position not Short a position. If you want to short, there are plenty of free scripts out there that do this.
You must have some base knowledge or experience with Fibonacci trading, understanding what is ADX, +DI (and -DI), etc.
You can use this script without a 3Commas account and see how 3Commas DCA Bot would perform. However, I highly recommend inexperienced uses get a free account and going through the tutorials, FAQ's and knowledgebase. This would give you a base understanding of the settings you will see in this strategy and why you will need to know them. Only then should you try testing this strategy with a paper bot.
Background
After I had created and released "Fibonacci Zone DCA Strategy", I began expanding and testing other ideas.
The first idea was to add Ranged Volume to the Fibonacci Zone DCA strategy which I wanted for providing further confirmation before entering a trade. The second idea was to add a second Fibonacci Zone that was just as configurable as the first Fibonacci Zone. I managed to add both and they can be easily enabled or disabled via the strategy settings menu.
Things Got Real Interesting
Things got real interesting when I started testing strategies with two Fibonacci zones. Here's a quick list of what I found I was able to do:
Mix and match exit strategies. I could set the Fib-1 zone strategy to exit with a take profit % and separately set the Fib-2 zone strategy to exit when the price crosses the top-high fib border
Trade the trend. A common phrase amongst traders is "the Trend is your friend" and with the help of an additional Fib Zone, I was able to trade the trend more often by using two different Fib Zone strategies which if configured properly can shorten time to re-deploy capital, increase number of closed trades, and in some cases increase net profit.
Trade both bull market uptrends and bear market downtrends in the same strategy. I found I could configure one Fib Zone strategy to be really good in uptrends and another Fib Zone strategy to be really good in downtrends. In some cases, with both Fib Zone strategies enabled together in a single strategy I got better results than if the strategies were backtested separately.
There are many other trade strategies I am finding with this. One could be to trade a convergence or divergence of the two different Fib Zones. This could possibly be achieved by setting one strategy to have different Fibonacci length.

Horns Pattern Identifier [LuxAlgo]The following script detects regular and inverted horn patterns. Detected patterns are displayed alongside their respective confirmation and take profit levels derived from the pattern measure rule. Breakout of the confirmation levels are highlighted with labels.
This script is a continuation of the educational idea regarding horns patterns.
Settings
Threshold: Controls the maximum allowed slope of the line connecting two horns, with higher values allowing a higher slope.
Usage
Horn patterns are chart patterns introduced by Bulkowski in his book "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns". We covered this pattern in the following post: Horn Tops & Bottoms Patterns - How To Find and Trade Them
The script allows the user to quickly determine the presence of a regular or inverted horn pattern, alongside automatically displaying the confirmation level and take profits associated with a detected pattern. These are calculated based on the rules described by Bulkowski.
Horn patterns are highlighted by a line connecting the horns, the dotted lines represent the confirmation level, once the price crosses this level a label will appear, either bullish or bearish depending on the detected pattern. The dashed line represents the take profit level.
Simple_PyramidingA simple Pyramiding / DCA Strategy. Everyday at a specified time a position is opened. The individual position is closed when a take profit is triggered. Optionally a stop loss can be activated, or the option to close the position at the and of the time frame. You can specify the max amount of open positions. The equity will be divided through the max amount of open positions.
This strategy is a result of an exploration into working with time sessions, pyramiding, for loops and possibilities to trigger individual take profits (profit) and stop loss levels (stop). This strategy is by no means a worked out and reliable strategy. Please feel free to experiment with the code in your indicators and strategies.
PhinkTrade Risk Manager EssentialsHello there, fellow traders!
So, happy to bring you a new, free tool: my Risk Manager Essentials .
(To use it, click on "Add to favorite indicators" below, and then look for it in your charts’ "Indicators & Strategies" dialog window, inside "Favorites" tab.)
The main objective of this indicator is to help and incentivize as many traders as possible to adopt essential risk management practices .
First and foremost, it helps you define how much you can buy or sell, at your chosen price levels, in order to keep your risk always under control (in other words: in order to limit the amount you can potentially lose with a trade if your stop loss order is hit).
This is fundamental if you want to have a lasting and successful trading career: protect your capital, always . Because without it, you know: it’s game over.
Indicator also helps you visualize where minimum ideal target / take profit level is , given your risk, using the popular 3:1 Return/Risk ratio (R/R) .
3:1 R/R ratio is popular because with it you only need to “be right” (have price reach your targets) about 33% of the time, in order to be profitable : in other words, the fewer successful trades will pay you more than the sum of your unsuccessful ones will take from you.
So, make sure your strategy has a success rate greater than 33% and apply 3:1 R/R to your trades . This indicator will help you that, and with developing the necessary discipline . For example, by knowing where the ideal target should be, given your choices, you can assess the likelihood of it being reached in current price context. If that would look like a hard to happen scenario, it would probably be a good idea to avoid taking that particular trade.
Now, let’s see how it works:
When you deploy the indicator to the chart for the first time, you’ll be asked to define:
Your 1st entry price (interactively: you can define and adjust levels directly on the chart, thanks to the new Interactive Mode introduced by TradingView (ty, TV team!))
Your stop loss price (likewise)
Your 1st target price (likewise)
Your starting capital (via initial Input dialog)
Your risk (likewise)
Your risk is how much of your starting capital you are willing to lose if your stop loss is hit (define it as a % of your starting capital).
There’s a good practice here too: to risk only 1 percent of your capital per trade . This way, you can reinforce the odds of making more money than you lose and keep your peace of mind in all trades – and avoid messing up with your plans – and statistics – along the way.
Successful trading is a statistics-based endeavor. So, you want to implement and maintain consistency. Again, this indicator helps with that.
After initial setup:
You can also define additional entries and targets (up to 3 each) . Just open indicator’s Settings window and adjust accordingly.
If you have more than one entry – or target, the amounts involved will be split evenly between them. You can also enable the display of the Average Entry and Average Target labels , to see the equivalent, should you have taken (or take) a single order for each.
You can also define (via Settings, then interactively) a particular date and time for the trade . This way, labels will be presented near that moment, instead of constantly show near the latest bar.
Finally, you can personalize some other display settings: levels precision (number of decimal places), labels positions , and labels colors .
In conclusion:
You are very welcome to check it out – and adopt it on your daily use!
Please let me know your feedbacks as well. If you find any issues, or have any suggestions, I’ll be glad to hear. You can contact me here, via TradingView, or Telegram.
Finally, check the updates section below , as new stuff may show from time to time.
Thank you very much for your attention, and enjoy!

// Author: Adaptation from JustUncleL Big Snapper by Bannos
// Date: May-2022
// Version: R1.0
//Description of this addon - Script using several new conditions to give Long/short and SL levels which was not proposed in the Big Snapper strategy "Big Snapper Alerts R3.0"
//"
//This strategy is based on the use of the Big Snapper outputs from the JustUncleL script and the addition of several conditions to define filtered conditions selecting signal synchrones with a trend and a rise of the volatility.
//Also the strategy proposes to define proportional stop losses and dynamic Take profit using an RSI strategy.
// After delivering the temporary ong/short signal and ploting a green or purple signal, several conditions are defined to consider a Signal is Long or short.
//Let s take the long signal as example(this is the same process with the opposite values for a short).
//step 1 - Long Definition:
// Snapper long signal stored in the buffer variable Longbuffer to say that in a close future, we could have all conditions for a long
// Now we need some conditions to combine with it:
//the second one is to be over the Ma_medium(55)
//and because this is not selective enough, the third one is a Volatility indicator "Chaikin Volatility" indicator giving an indication about the volatility of the price compared to the 10 last values
// -> Using the volatility indicator gives the possibility to increase the potential rise if the volatility is higher compared to the last periods.
//With these 3 signals, we get a robust indication about a potential long signal which is then stored in the variable "Longe"
//Now we have a long signal and can give a long signal with its Stop Loss
// The Long Signal is automatically given as the 3 conditions above are satisfied.
// The Stop loss is a function of the last Candle sizes giving a stop below the 70% of the overall candle which can be assimilated to a Fibonacci level. Below this level it makes sense to stop the trade as the chance to recover the complete Candle is more than 60%
//Now we are in an open Long and can use all the mentioned Stop loss condition but still need a Take Profit condition
//The take profit condition is based on a RSI strategy consisting in taking profit as soon as the RSI come back from the overbought area (which is here defined as a rsi over 70) and reaching the 63.5 level to trigger the Take Profit
//This TP condition is only active when Long is active and when an entry value as been defined.
//Entry and SL level appreas as soon as a Long or short arrow signal does appears. The Take profit will be conidtioned to the RSI.
//The final step in the cycle is a reinitialization of all the values giving the possibility to detect and treat any long new signal coming from the Big Snapper signal.
Template Trailing Strategy (Backtester)💭 Overview
💢 What is the "Template Trailing Strategy” ❓
The "Template Trailing Strategy" (TTS) is a back-tester orchestration framework. It supercharges the implementation-test-evaluation lifecycle of new trading strategies, by making it possible to plug in your own trading idea.
While TTS offers a vast number of configuration settings, it primarily allows the trader to:
Test and evaluate your own trading logic that is described in terms of entry, exit, and cancellation conditions.
Define the entry and exit order types as well as their target prices when the limit, stop, or stop-limit order types are used.
Utilize a variety of options regarding the placement of the stop-loss and take-profit target(s) prices and support for well-known techniques like moving to breakeven and trailing.
Provide well-known quantity calculation methods to properly handle risk management and easily evaluate trading strategies and compare them.
Alert on each trading event or any related change through a robust and fully customizable messaging system.
All the above, build a robust tool that, once learned, significant and repetitive work that strategy developers often implement individually on every strategy script is eliminated. Taking advantage of TradingView’s built-in backtesting engine the evaluation of the trading ideas feels natural.
By utilizing the TTS one can easily swap “trading logic” by testing, evaluating, and comparing each trading idea and/or individual component of a strategy.
Finally, TTS, through its per-event alert management (and debugging) system, provides a fully automated solution that supports automated trading with real brokers via webhooks.
NOTE: The “Template Trailing Strategy” does not dictate the way you can combine different (types of) indicators or how you should combine them. Thus, it should not be confused as a “Trading System”, because it gives its user full flexibility on that end (for better or worse).
💢 What is a “Signal Indicator” ❓
“Signal Indicator” (SI) is an indicator that can output a “signal” that follows a specific convention so that the “Template Trailing Strategy” can “understand” and execute the orders accordingly. The SI realizes the core trading logic signaling to the TTS when to enter, exit, or cancel an order. A SI instructs the TTS “when” to enter or exit, and the TTS determines “how” to enter and exit the position once the Signal Indicator generates a signal.
A very simple example of a Signal Indicator might be a 200-day Simple Moving Average Signal. When the price of the security closes above the 200-day SMA, a SI would provide TTS with a “long entry signal”. Once TTS receives the “long entry signal”, the TTS will open a long position and send an alert or automated trade message via webhook to a broker, based on the Entry settings defined in TTS. If the TTS Entry settings specify a “Market” order type, then the open long position will be executed by TTS immediately. But if the TTS Entry settings specify a “Stop” order type with a 1% Stop Distance, then when the price of the security rises by 1% after the “long entry signal” occurs, the TTS will open a long position and the Long Entry alert or webhook to the broker will be sent.
🤔 How to Guide
💢 How to connect a “signal” from a “Signal Indicator” ❓
The “Template Trailing Strategy” was designed to receive external signals from a “Signal Indicator”. In this way, a “new trading idea” can be developed, configured, and evaluated separately from the TTS. Similarly, the SI can be held constant, and the trading mechanics can change in the TTS settings and back-tested to answer questions such as, “Am I better with a different stop loss placement method, what if I used a limit order instead of a stop order to enter, what if I used 25% margin instead of trading spot market?”
To make that possible by connecting an external signal indicator to TTS, you should:
Add in the same chart, the “Signal Indicator” of your choice (e.g. “Two MA Signal Indicator” , “Click Signal Indicator” , “Signal Adapter” , “Signal Composer” ) and the “Template Trailing Strategy”.
Go to the “Settings/Inputs” tab in the “🛠️ STRATEGY” group of the TTS and change the "𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞" to “🔨External”
Go to the “🔨 STRATEGY – EXTERNAL” group settings of the TTS and change the “🔌𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 🛈➡” to the output signal of the “Signal Indicator” you want to connect. The selected combo box option should look like “:🔌Signal to TTS” where should correspond to the short title of your “Signal Indicator”
💢 How to create a Custom Trading logic ❓
The “Template Trailing Strategy” provides two ways to plug in your custom trading logic. Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages.
✍️ Develop your own Customized “Signal Indicator” 💥
The first approach is meant to be used for relatively more complex trading logic. The advantages of this approach are the full control and customization you have over the trading logic and the relatively simple configuration setup by having two scripts only. The downsides are that you have to have some experience with pinescript or you are willing to learn and experiment. You should also know the exact formula for every indicator you will use since you have to write it by yourself. Copy-pasting from existing open-source indicators will get you started quite fast though.
The idea here is either to create a new indicator script from scratch or to copy an existing non-signal indicator and make it a “Signal Indicator”. To create a new script, press the “Pine Editor” button below the chart to open the “Pine Editor” and then press the “Open” button to open the drop-down menu with the templates. Select the “New Indicator” option. Add it to your chart to copy an existing indicator and press the source code {} button. Its source code will be shown in the “Pine Editor” with a warning on top stating that this is a read-only script. Press the “create a working copy”. Now you can give a descriptive title and a short title to your script, and you can work on (or copy-paste) the (other) indicators of your interest. Having all the information needed to make your decision the only thing you should do is define a DealConditions object and plot it like this:
import jason5480/tts_convention/4 as conv
// Calculate the start, end, cancel start, cancel end conditions
dealConditions = conv.DealConditions.new(
startLongDeal = ,
startShortDeal = ,
endLongDeal = ,
endShortDeal = ,
cnlStartLongDeal = ,
cnlStartShortDeal = ,
cnlEndLongDeal = ,
cnlEndShortDeal = )
// Use this signal in scripts like "Template Trailing Strategy" and "Signal Composer" that can use its value
// Emit the current signal value according to the "two channels mod div" convention
plot(series = conv.getSignal(dealConditions), title = '🔌Signal to TTS', color = color.olive, display = display.data_window + display.status_line, precision = 0)
You should write your deal conditions appropriately based on your trading logic and put them in the code section shown above by replacing the “…” part after “=”. You can omit the conditions that are not relevant to your logic. For example, if you use only market orders for entering and exiting your positions the cnlStartLongDeal, cnlStartShortDeal, cnlEndLongDeal, and cnlEndShortDeal are irrelevant to your case and can be safely omitted from the DealConditions object. After successfully compiling your new custom SI script add it to the same chart with the TTS by pressing the “Add to chart” button. If all goes well, you will be able to connect your “signal” to the TTS as described in the “How to connect a “signal” from a “Signal Indicator”?” guide.
🧩 Adapt and Combine existing non-signal indicators 💥
The second approach is meant to be used for relatively simple trading logic. The advantages of this approach are the lack of pine script and coding experience needed and the fact that it can be used with closed-source indicators as long as the decision-making part is displayed as a line in the chart. The drawback is that you have to have a subscription that supports the “indicator on indicator” feature so you can connect the output of one indicator as an input to another indicator. Please check if your plan supports that feature here
To plug in your own logic that way you have to add your indicator(s) of preference in the chart and then add the “Signal Adapter” script in the same chart as well. This script is a “Signal Indicator” that can be used as a proxy to define your custom logic in the CONDITIONS group of the “Settings/Inputs” tab after defining your inputs from your preferred indicators in the VARIABLES group. Then a “signal” will be produced, if your logic is simple enough it can be directly connected to the TTS that is also added to the same chart for execution. Check the “How to connect a “signal” from a “Signal Indicator”?” in the “🤔 How to Guide“ for more information.
If your logic is slightly more complicated, you can add a second “Signal Adapter” in your chart. Then you should add the “Signal Composer” in the same chart, go to the SIGNALS group of the “Settings/Inputs” tab, and connect the “signals” from the “Signal Adapters”. “Signal Composer” is also a SI so its composed “signal” can be connected to the TTS the same way it is described in the “How to connect a “signal” from a “Signal Indicator”?” guide.
At this point, due to the composability of the framework, you can add an arbitrary number (bounded by your subscription of course) of “Signal Adapters” and “Signal Composers” before connecting the final “signal” to the TTS.
💢 How to set up ⏰Alerts ❓
The “Template Trailing Strategy” provides a fully customizable per-even alert mechanism. This means that you may have an entirely different message for entering and exiting into a position, hitting a stop-loss or a take-profit target, changing trailing targets, etc. There are no restrictions, and this gives you great flexibility.
First of all, you have to enable the alerts of the events that interest you. Go to the “🔔 ALERT MESSAGES” module of the TTS settings and check the “Enable…” checkbox of the events you are interested in. For each specific event, you will find a text area where you can type the exact message you want to receive when the event occurs. What’s more, there are placeholders you can use that will be replaced by the TTS with the actual values before the message is sent. The placeholder categories are the following and the placeholder names are self-explanatory.
Chart info: {{ticker}}, {{base_currency}}, {{quote_currency}}
Quantities and percentages: {{base_quantity}}, {{quote_quantity}}, {{quote_quantity_perc}},
{{take_profit_base_quantity}}, {{remaining_quantity_perc}}, {{remaining_base_quantity}}, {{risk_perc}}
Target prices: {{stop_loss_price}}, {{entry_price}}, {{entry+_price}}, {{entry-_price}},
{{exit_price}}, {{exit+_price}}, {{exit-_price}}, {{take_profit_price_1}},
{{take_profit_price_2}}, {{take_profit_price_3}}, {{take_profit_price_4}}, {{take_profit_price_5}}
❗ To get the message on the other side you have to set a strategy alert as described here and use the {{strategy.order.alert_message}} placeholder as text in the “Message Box” that contains the message that came from the TTS.
💢 How to execute my orders in a broker ❓
To execute your orders in a broker that supports webhook integration, you should enable the appropriate alerts in the “Template Trailing Strategy” first (see the “How to set up Alerts?” guide above). Then you should go to the “Create Alert/Notifications” tab check the “Webhook URL” and paste the URL provided by your broker. You have to read the documentation of your broker for more information on what messages are expected.
Keep in mind that some brokers have deep integration with TradingView so a per-event alert approach might be overkill.
📑 Definitions
This section tries to give some definitions in terms that appear in the “Settings/Inputs" tab of the “Template Trailing Strategy”
💢 What is Trailing ❓
Trailing is a technique where a price target follows another “barrier” price (usually high or low) by trying to keep a maximum distance from the “barrier” when it moves in only one direction (up or down). When the “barrier” moves in the other direction the price target will not change. There are as many types of trailing as price targets, which means that there are entry trailing, exit trailing, stop-loss trailing, and take-profit trailing techniques.
💢 What is a Moonbag ❓
A Moonbag in a trade is the quantity of the position that is reserved and will not be exited even if all take-profit targets defined in the strategy are hit, the quantity will be exited only if the stop-loss is hit or a close signal is received. This makes the stop-loss trailing technique in a trend-following strategy a good candidate to take advantage of a Moonbag.
💢 What is Distance ❓
Distance is the difference between two prices.
💢 What is Bias ❓
Bias is a psychological phenomenon where you make decisions based on market sentiment. For example, when you want to enter a long position you have a long bias, and when you want to exit from the long position you have a short bias. It is the other way around for the short position.
💢 What is the Margin Distance of a price target ❓
The Margin Distance of a price target is the distance that the target will deviate from its initial price. The direction of this deviation depends on the bias of the market. For example, suppose you are in a long position, and you set a take-profit target to the local high (HHLL). In that case, adding a margin of five ticks will place your take-profit target 5 ticks below this local high because you have a short bias when exiting a long position. When the bias is long the margin will be added resulting in a higher target price and when you have a short bias the margin will be subtracted.
⚙️ Settings
In the “Settings/Inputs” tab of the “Template Trailing Strategy”, you can find all the customizable settings that are provided by the framework. The variety of those settings is vast; hence we will only scratch the surface here. However, for every setting, there is an information icon 🛈 where you can learn more if you mouse over it. The “Settings/Inputs” tab is divided into ten main groups. Each one of them is responsible for one module of the framework. Every setting is part of a group that is named after the module it represents. So, to spot the module of a setting find the title that appears above it comes with an emoji and uppercase letters. Some settings might have the same name but belong to different modules e.g. “Distance Method”. Some settings are indented, which means that are closely related to the non-indented setting above. Usually, intended settings provide further configuration for one or more options of the non-intended setting. The groups that correspond to each module of the framework are the following:
📆 FILTERS
In this module time filters are implemented. You can define a DateTime window for your strategy to run. You can also specify a session by selecting the days of the week and the time range you want to operate.
🛠️ STRATEGY
This module contains the "𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞" that defines if the “Template Trailing Strategy” will operate using the Internal or the External (“Signal Indicator”) conditions. Some general settings can be applied regardless of the mode.
🔨 STRATEGY – EXTERNAL
This sub-module makes the connection between the external signal of the “Signal Indicator” and the “Template Trailing Strategy”. It takes effect only if the "𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞" is set to “🔨External”.
🔧 STRATEGY – INTERNAL
This sub-module defines the internal strategy logic and it's used as an example to demonstrate this framework. It should produce the same results as if the “Two MA Signal Indicator” was used as a “signal” in external mode. It takes effect only if the "𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞" is set to “🔧Internal”.
🎢 VOLATILITY
This module defines the volatility parameters that are used in various other settings like average true range and standard deviation. It also makes it clear whether their values are updated during a trade (DYNAMIC) or not (STATIC).
🔷 ENTRY
This module defines how the start deal conditions will be executed by defining the order type of your entry and all necessary parameters to execute them.
🎯 TAKE PROFIT
This module defines the take-profit targets placement logic. The number of the take-profit targets to use, their distance from the entry price, and the distance from each other are only some of the features that can be configured.
🛑 STOP LOSS
This module defines the stop-loss target placement logic. The distance from the entry price, move to break even, and start trailing after a take-profit target is hit are only some of the features that can be configured.
🟪 EXIT
This module defines how the end deal conditions will be executed by defining the order type of your exit and all necessary parameters to execute them.
💰 QUANTITY/RISK MANAGEMENT
This module defines the method that calculates the amount of money you will put into each trade. Also, the percentage of the Moonbag quantity can be configured.
📊 ANALYTICS
This module can visualize some extra analytics of the strategy in the chart and calculate some metrics to measure the overall performance.
🔔 ALERT MESSAGES
This module defines all the messages that can be emitted per event during the strategy execution.
😲 Caveats
💢 Does “Template Trailing Strategy” has a repainting behavior ❓
The answer is that the “Template Trailing Strategy” does not repaint as long as the “Signal Indicator” that is connected also does not repaint. If you developed your own SI make sure that you understand and know how to prevent this behavior. The publication by @PineCoders here will give you a good idea on how to avoid most of the repainting cases.
⚠️There is an exception though, when the “Enable Trail⚠️💹” checkbox is checked, the Take Profit trailing feature is enabled, and a tick-based approach is used, meaning that after a while, when the TradingView discards all the real-time data, assumptions will be made by the backtesting engine that will cause a form of repainting. To avoid making false assumptions please disable this feature in the early stages and evaluate its usefulness in your strategy later on, after first confirming the success of the logic without this feature. In this case, consider turning on the bar magnifier feature. This way you will get more accurate backtest results when the Take Profit trailing feature is enabled.
💢 Can “Template Trailing Strategy” satisfy all my trading strategies ❓
While this framework can satisfy quite a large number of trading strategies there are cases where it cannot do so. For example, if you have a custom logic for your stop-loss or take-profit placement, or if you want to dollar cost average, then it might be better to start a new strategy script from scratch.
⚠️ It is not recommended to copy the official TTS code and start developing unless you are a pine wizard! Even in that case, there is a stiff learning curve that might not be worth your time. Last, you must consider that I do not offer support for customized versions of the TTS script and if something goes wrong in the process you are all alone.
🤗 Thanks
Special thanks to @upslidedown and @metadimensional, who regularly gave feedback all those years and helped me to shape the framework as it is today! Thanks to @EltAlt, @PlusUltraTrading, and everyone else who contributed by either filing a “defect report” or asking questions that helped me to understand what improvements were necessary.
Enjoy!

Strategy█ OVERVIEW
This library is a Pine Script™ programmer’s tool containing a variety of strategy-related functions to assist in calculations like profit and loss, stop losses and limits. It also includes several useful functions one can use to convert between units in ticks, price, currency or a percentage of the position's size.
█ CONCEPTS
The library contains three types of functions:
1 — Functions beginning with `percent` take either a portion of a price, or the current position's entry price and convert it to the value outlined in the function's documentation.
Example: Converting a percent of the current position entry price to ticks, or calculating a percent profit at a given level for the position.
2 — Functions beginning with `tick` convert a tick value to another form.
These are useful for calculating a price or currency value from a specified number of ticks.
3 — Functions containing `Level` are used to calculate a stop or take profit level using an offset in ticks from the current entry price.
These functions can be used to plot stop or take profit levels on the chart, or as arguments to the `limit` and `stop` parameters in strategy.exit() function calls.
Note that these calculated levels flip automatically with the position's bias.
For example, using `ticksToStopLevel()` will calculate a stop level under the entry price for a long position, and above the entry price for a short position.
There are also two functions to assist in calculating a position size using the entry's stop and a fixed risk expressed as a percentage of the current account's equity. By varying the position size this way, you ensure that entries with different stop levels risk the same proportion of equity.
█ NOTES
Example code using some of the library's functions is included at the end of the library. To see it in action, copy the library's code to a new script in the Pine Editor, and “Add to chart”.
For each trade, the code displays:
• The entry level in orange.
• The stop level in fuchsia.
• The take profit level in green.
The stop and take profit levels automatically flip sides based on whether the current position is long or short.
Labels near the last trade's levels display the percentages used to calculate them, which can be changed in the script's inputs.
We plot markers for entries and exits because strategy code in libraries does not display the usual markers for them.
Look first. Then leap.

Parameters:
ticks : (series int/float) Number of ticks.
Returns: (float) Money amount in the symbol's currency.
ticksToStopLevel(ticks) Calculates a stop loss level using a distance in ticks from the current `strategy.position_avg_price` entry price. This value can be plotted on the chart, or used as an argument to the `stop` parameter of a `strategy.exit()` call. NOTE: The stop level automatically flips based on whether the position is long or short.
Parameters:
ticks : (series int/float) The distance in ticks from the entry price to the stop loss level.
Returns: (float) A stop loss level for the current position.
ticksToTpLevel(ticks) Calculates a take profit level using a distance in ticks from the current `strategy.position_avg_price` entry price. This value can be plotted on the chart, or used as an argument to the `limit` parameter of a `strategy.exit()` call. NOTE: The take profit level automatically flips based on whether the position is long or short.
Parameters:
ticks : (series int/float) The distance in ticks from the entry price to the take profit level.
Returns: (float) A take profit level for the current position.
calcPositionSizeByStopLossTicks(stopLossTicks, riskPercent) Calculates the position size needed to implement a given stop loss (in ticks) corresponding to `riskPercent` of equity.
Parameters:
stopLossTicks : (series int) The stop loss (in ticks) that will be used to protect the position.
riskPercent : (series int/float) The maximum risk level as a percent of current equity (`strategy.equity`).
Returns: (int) A quantity of contracts.
calcPositionSizeByStopLossPercent(stopLossPercent, riskPercent, entryPrice) Calculates the position size needed to implement a given stop loss (%) corresponding to `riskPercent` of equity.
Parameters:
stopLossPercent : (series int/float) The stop loss in percent that will be used to protect the position.
riskPercent : (series int/float) The maximum risk level as a percent of current equity (`strategy.equity`).
entryPrice : (series int/float) The entry price of the position.
Returns: (int) A quantity of contracts.
exitPercent(id, lossPercent, profitPercent, qty, qtyPercent, comment, when, alertMessage) A wrapper of the `strategy.exit()` built-in which adds the possibility to specify loss & profit in as a value in percent. NOTE: this function may work incorrectly with pyramiding turned on due to the use of `strategy.position_avg_price` in its calculations of stop loss and take profit offsets.
Parameters:
id : (series string) The order identifier of the `strategy.exit()` call.
lossPercent : (series int/float) Stop loss as a percent of the entry price.
profitPercent : (series int/float) Take profit as a percent of the entry price.
qty : (series int/float) Number of contracts/shares/lots/units to exit a trade with. The default value is `na`.
qtyPercent : (series int/float) The percent of the position's size to exit a trade with. If `qty` is `na`, the default value of `qty_percent` is 100.
comment : (series string) Optional. Additional notes on the order.
when : (series bool) Condition of the order. The order is placed if it is true.
alertMessage : (series string) An optional parameter which replaces the {{strategy.order.alert_message}} placeholder when it is used in the "Create Alert" dialog box's "Message" field.
action zone - ATR stop reverse order strategy v0.1 by 9nckACTION ZONE-ATR MOD v0.1 DOCUMENTATION
Overview
This tradingview pine script strategy is mainly created to enrich my coding skill. It is a combination of “CDC-ACTIONZONE” and my personal studies of trading techniques in various sources e.g.book, course or blog. This strategy purposefully built to connect with my automatic trading bot. However, It will be very useful to aid your trading routine by diminishing mental distraction which possibly leads to bad trades.
How does it work?
This strategy will do a basic simple thing that most traders do by creating entry signals on both sides long/short and also set the stop loss. Furthermore, It will also reverse the order (from long to short and vice versa (if long/short conditions are met). Finally, it will recalculate the stop loss/take profit price in every complete bar to increase the chance of winning and limit our loss.
Entry rules(Long/Short)
If you have no open order, an order will be created when a fast EMA crosses(up(long)/down(short) the slow EMA(It’s as simple as that).
If you have an open order, the current order will be (sold if long, covered if short) and the opposite side order will be created.
Exit and Reverse rules(Long/Short)
If fast EMA cross (DOWN(long), UP(short)), the current order will be closed, THE OPPOSITE SIDE ORDER WILL ALSO BE CREATED.
Risk management
FLEX STOP PRICE : initial value will be set at the bar which order created. It is a fast ema (+/-) MIDDLE ATR value.
If MIDDLE ATR value rises, it will be our new stop price.
If MIDDLE ATR value falls, stop price unchanged
If Price OVERBOUGHT(long)/SOLD(short), LOW of that bar will be a new stop price.
Minimum position hold period
In order to eliminate risk of repeatedly open, close orders in sideway trends. Minimum hold period must be passed to start exit our position. However, It always respects stop loss prices. The value refers to the number of bars.
MUST READ!!!
This strategy uses only MARKET ORDER. If you trade with a bot, make sure you choose only enormous market cap tokens.
This strategy is bi-direction strategy. It will work best in the DERIVATIVE market.
It was initially designed to compete in the cryptocurrency market which has very high volume and volatility.
I only use this strategy in 1HR (acceptable change rate, optimum trade frequency)
How (should) we use it?
Choose crypto future pairs (recommend only top 10-15 market volume pairs in Binance, let’s say 1000M+ trade value)
Choose your time frame (1H is strongly recommended)
Setup your portfolio profile (Setting->Properties) such as Initial cap, order size, commission. DO NOT USE CAL ON EVERY TICK IT WILL CAUSE REPAINTING AND YOUR CAPITAL IS BLEEDING !!!
BACKTEST FIRST!! Back test is a combination of art, math and statis(and a bit of luck). You can apply to train and test methods or whatever you are familiar with. In my opinion, your test period should include UPTREND, SIDEWAY, DOWNTREND. Fine tune fast, slow ema first(my best ema length of 1H timeframe around 7-10, 17-22). Try to eliminate fault breakout trade and use other options only necessary. Hopefully we can use automatic optimization on Pine Script soon.
Don’t forget to turn off using a specific backtest date option to start your strategy.A
THIS IS NOT A PERFECT (OR EVEN PROFITABLE) STRATEGY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND TRADE RESPONSIBLY. DYOR DUDE.
[Sextan] T-Step LSMA MTF BacktestLevel: 1
NOTE: This is a request by @scantor516 to backtest T-Step LSMA by alexgrover with my Sextan framework. You can backtest many of my indicators in minutes now! Of course,you can define your own indicator in the highlighted area in compliance with the uniform format, which guarantee when you use "Indicator on Indicator" function, it would not produce any error.

Background
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, 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 "death and alive", 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.
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.
Remarks
Finally, I will explain that this is just the beginning of this model. I will continue to optimize the trading system of the second layer. Various optimization feedback and suggestions are welcome. For valuable feedback, I am willing to provide some L4/L5 technical indicators as rewards for free subscription rights.
