Optimized Trend Tracker - Strategy VersionA brand new indicator from the developer of MOST (Moving Stop Loss) indicator Anıl Özekşi.
Optimized Trend Tracker OTT is an indicator that provides traders to find an existing trend or in another words to ser which side of the current trend we are on.
The original indicator was coded and published by Kıvanç Özbilgiç. You can access it from this link:
I transformed the indicator into a strategy and made some changes:
- You can run two different strategies. In the Settings section, you can test two different strategies, "Support Line Crossing Signals" and "Price / OTT Crossing Signals".
- Fixed the issue where BUY/SELL labels from the indicator script would hang in the air.
- I added a setting where you can hide BUY/SELL labels if you want.
- I painted the bars for BUY/SELL states, you can open and close in the settings section.
- As I do with every strategy script, I added a start and end date for the strategy test. You can specify the range you want to see working in the Settings section.
In addition, there were cases when the OTT line was reduced to zero in non-voluminous symbols; I changed this situation by making a small change in the code. I asked Kıvanç about the subject, I can update according to his answer.
Note : Strategy BUY / SELL tags and indicator BUY / SELL tags do not operate in the same bar because indicator tags are added when the next bar occurs. If you replay bars, you can observe label formations.

Orjinal indikatör Kıvanç Özbilgiç tarafından kodlanmış ve yayımlanmıştır. Bu linkten erişebilirsiniz:
İndikatörü strateji dönüştürdüm ve bazı değişiklikler yaptım:
- İki farklı strateji çalıştırabilirsiniz. Ayarlar kısmında Condition bölümünde "Support Line Crossing Signals" ve "Price/OTT Crossing Signals" olarak iki farklı stratejiyi test edebilirsiniz.
- İndikatör scriptinden gelen BUY/SELL etiketlerinin havada durması sorununu düzelttim.
- İsterseniz BUY/SELL etiketleri gizleyebileceğiniz bir ayar ekledim.
- BUY/SELL durumları için barları boyadım, ayarlar bölümünden açıp kapatabilirsiniz.
- Her strateji scriptinde yaptığım gibi, strateji testi için başlangıç ve bitiş tarihi ekledim. Ayarlar bölümünden çalışmasını görmek istediğiniz aralığı belirleyebilirsiniz.
- Ek olarak hacimsiz sembollerde OTT çizgisinin sıfıra indiği durumlar mevcuttu; kodda ufak bir değişiklik yaparak bu durumu değiştirdim. Kıvanç Bey'e konu ile ilgili soru sordum, cevabına göre güncelleme yapabilirim.
Not : Strateji BUY/SELL etiketleri ile indikatör BUY/SELL etiketleri aynı barda işlem yapmamaktadır çünkü indikatör etiketleri kendisinden sonraki bar oluşunca eklenmektedir. Barları replay yaptırırsanız oluşumlarını gözlemleyebilirsiniz.
Trend
EMA Slope Cross Trend Follower StrategyThis strategy uses the cross of the slopes of two EMAs having different lengths to generate trend follower signals. By default, I use 130 and 400, which behave very well.
The conditions which make the strat enter the market are:
- Fast Slope > Slow Slope and price > EMA 200 : go Long
- Fast Slope < Slow Slope and price < EMA200 : go Short
The simple slopes cross in the opposite direction, closes the position.
The strategy performs best on Bitcoin and the most liquid and capitalized Altcoins, but works greatly on volatile assets as well, in particular if they often go trending.
Works best on 4h time frame.
There's also an optional Volatility filter, which opens the position only if the difference between the two slopes is more than a specific value, which can be set in the strategy inputs. The purpose is not opening positions if price is going sideways and the noise is way > than the signal.
Enjoy it!
cATRpillar Strategy**This is my first strategy on the Pine editor, any tips or tricks from the community would be awesome!
This strategy was developed from my indicator "cATRpillar". it uses the ATR range values to determine entry, and uses EMA values to determine an exit if the market goes against it.
EMA Slope Trend Follower StrategyThis strategy is based on the slope of the EMA130.
Over that slope, the script calculates two EMAs (9,21) which are used to generate the main entry and exit signal.
In particular, the strategy enters a LONG position when EMA9 > EMA21. On the contrary, it closes the LONG and opens a SHORT when EMA9 < EMA21.
When the slope of the EMA130 is rising, it means that the price is accelerating upwards, fueling an uptrend. Conversely, when the slope is falling, it means that the price is slowing down, falling into a possible downtrend.
Calculating and analyzing two EMAs (fast and slow) over the slope of a medium length EMA instead of the price anticipates a lot the signal. In this way, the strategy never miss a trend.
In order to minimize false positives (entering useless positions), I included two filters, which can be optionally turned on:
- Trend Filter: When the price is above EMA200, the strategy opens ONLY LONG positions. If price < EMA200, only shorts allowed. If the slope gives a long signal and price is below EMA200, for example, the eventual SHORT position is closed, but the LONG entry is postponed to the moment when both conditions (slope uptrending and price > ema200) are met.
I recommend always turning on this filter, as it dramatically decreases drawdown.
- Volatility Filter: When the standard deviation of the last 20 candles is below its 50 samples moving average, no positions are opened, as market is going sideways. The purpose of this filter is to prevent false positives (positions which open and close in a matter of candles due to false signals in sideways market).
I recommend turning on this filter only on low time frames.
This strategy works great on medium time frames (like 4h, 6h, daily), since it spends way less in fees, opening less positions.
It works good on low TFs too (up to 1h, didn't test lower ones), provided Volatility filter is turned on and parameters are set according to the asset.
Commission included in calculations: 0.06% (it's the taker commission on BitMEX with the 10% discount obtainable with any referral link)
Slippage included in calculations: 2 ticks (BitMEX has very liquid order books, and slippage doesn't happen very often unless a huge position size is used).
FTSMA - Trend is your frendThis my new solid strategy: if you belive that "TREND IS YOUR FRIEND" this is for you!
I have tested with many pairs and at many timeframes and have profit with just minor changes in settings.
I suggest to use it for intraday trading .
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: this is a trend following strategy, so the target is to stay in the trade as much as possible. If your trading style is more focused on scalping and/or pullbaks, this strategy is not for you.
This strategy uses moving averages applied to Fourier waves for forecasting trend direction.
How strategy works:
- Buy when fast MA is above mid MA and price is above slow MA, which acts as a trend indicator.
- Sell when fast MA is below mid MA and price is below slow MA, which acts as a trend indicator.
Strategy uses a lot of pyramiding orders because when you are in a flat market phase it will close 1 or 2 orders with a loss, but when a big trend starts, it will have profit in a lot of orders.
So, if you analize carefully the strategy results, you will note that "Percent Profitable" is very low (30% in this case) because strategy opened a lot of orders also in flat markets with small losses, BUT "Avg # bars in winning trades" is very high and overall Profit is very high: when a big trend starts, orders are kept open for long time generating big profits.
Thanks to all pinescripters mentioned in the code for their snippets.
I have also a study with alerts. Next improvement (only to whom is interested to this script and follows me): study with alerts on multiple tickers all at one. Leave a comment if you want to have access to study.
HOW TO USE STRATEGY AND STUDY TOGHETER:

MA-EMA Crossover LTJust a simple strategy based on dynamic zones by Allenster. Still a work in progress.
Trend Trader Strategy with MACDThis is plots the indicator developed by Andrew Abraham in the Trading the Trend article of TASC September 1998
The strategy I use has already been published explicitly by HPotter, you can review the core code from there.
I have converted the existing strategy codes that have been published into the strategy and the result looks great but I noticed that the indicator performed too much in short periods like 1 minute and I thought it would be healthier to get MACD approval. MACD approval will come selected by default. When the indicator reaches the buy status, if the macd histogram is positive, it enters the long process. By removing this confirmation from the settings window, you can see the normal signal frequency of the indicator.
This strategy is mainly based on trend signals. In fact, I am publishing this strategy to use in alternating trading for Bear-Bull crypto coins.
What does the bear-bull comparison mean?
You can open the same chart in the ETHBEAR / USDT symbol as opposed to the ETHBULL / USDT symbol that appears on the chart. When BUY signal comes in bull symbol, SELL will come in bear symbol. When BUY signal comes in bear symbol, SELL will come in bull symbol. In this way, very fast and very high profit can be obtained by alternating operation.
KPL Swing StrategyThe KPLSwing indicator is a simple trend following mechanical trading system which automates the entry and exit.
The trading system is extremely simple and easy to use and removes emotions from trading.
The trading or investing logic is simple.... buy on close above 20 days high and sell on close below 20 days low.
No targets are given as profits are unknown and is whatever the market gives. Losses are limited via position sizing.
FRAMA - Supertrend strategyFRAMA Strategy
I found this strategy on internet, in a well-known forex forum.
I have translated the two indicators mentioned in that strategy (originally in mq4) in pine script.
Thanks to Fractured and Shizaru for the FRAMA snippets, to mejialucas for Supertrend snippet, to JayRogers for trade management snippet and to Trost for backtesting snippet.
I also added some code to have FRAME with a deiiferent timeframe
Indicators set-up:
FRAMA period 24 (it was originally 25 but it's better to use an even number)
FRAMA timefarme lower then chart timeframe (e.g. daily chart and weekly FRAMA)
Supertrend indicator as it is.
Of course, it is better to adapt above setting to traded instrument.
Long/Buy rules:
1 - Enter at crossover between FRAMA and its signal
2 - Option to filter entries based on supertrend signal
3 - Exit when Supertrend change direction;
4 - Exit long when short signal occurs;
Short/Sell rules:
1 - Enter at crossunder between FRAMA and its signal
2 - Option to filter entries based on supertrend signal
3 - Exit when Supertrend change direction;
4 - Exit short when long signal occurs;
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: this is a trend following strategy, so the target is to stay in the trade as much as possible (drawdown my be high). If your trading style is more focused on scalping and/or pullbaks, this strategy is not for you.
Credits to who developed this startegy (google it).
Thanks to all pinescripters mentined in the code for their snippets.
I have also a study with alerts.

Trend Balance Point System by Welles WilderThis is the original Trend Balance Point System created by Welles Wilders in 1978, rules can be found in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.
Grover Llorens Activator Strategy AnalysisThe Grover Llorens Activator is a trailing stop indicator deeply inspired by the parabolic SAR indicator, and aim to provide early exit points and reversal detection. The indicator was posted not so long ago, you can find it here :
Today a strategy using the indicator is proposed, and its profitability is analyzed on 3 different markets with the main time frame being 1 hour, remember that lower time frames involve lower absolute price changes, therefore we are way more affected by the spread, and we can require a larger position sizing depending on our investment target, trading higher time-frames is always a good practice and this is why 1 hour is selected. Based on the result we might make various conclusions regarding the indicator accuracy and might have ideas on future improvements of the indicator.
I'am not great when it comes to strategy design, i still hope to share correct and useful information in this post, let me know your thoughts on the post format and if i should make more of these.
Setup And Rules
The analysis is solely based on the indicator signals, money management isn't taken into account, this allow us to have an idea on the indicator robustness and resilience, particularly on extremely volatile markets and ones exhibiting a chaotic structure, altho it is normally good practice to close any position before a market closure in order to avoid any potential major gaps.
The settings used are 480 for length and 14 for mult, this create relatively mid term signals that are suited for a trend indicator such as the Grover Llorens Activator, unfortunately we can't infer the indicator optimal settings, thats how it is with any technical indicator anyway.
Here are the rules of our strategy :
long : closing price cross over the indicator
short : closing price cross under the indicator
We use constant position sizing, once a signal is triggered all the previous positions are closed.
Description Of The Statistics Used
Various statistics are presented in this post, here is a brief description of the main ones :
Percent Profitability (higher = better): Percentage of winning trades, that is : winning trades/total number of trades × 100
Maximum Drawdown (lower = better) : The highest difference between a peak and a valley in the balance, that is : peak - valley , in percentage : (peak - valley)/peak × 100
Profit Factor (higher = better) : Gross profit divided by gross loss, values under 1 represent gross losses superior to the gross profits
Remember that more volatility = more risk, since higher absolute price changes can logically cause larger losses.
EURUSD
The first market analyzed is the Forex market with the EURUSD major pair with a position sizing of 1000 units (1 micro lot). Since October EURUSD is not showing any particular strong trend but posses a discrete rising motion, fortunately cycles can be observed.
The equity was rising until two trades appeared causing a decline in the equity. Before October a bearish market could be observed.
We can see that the equity is rising, the trend still posses various retracements that affect our indicator, however we can see that the indicator totally nail the end of the trend, thats the power of converging toward the price.
In short :
$ 86.63 net profit
340 closed trades
37.65 % profitable (thats a lot of loosing trades)
1.19 profit factor
$ 76.67 max drawdown
Applying a spread would create negative results (in general the average spread is used), not a great start...
BTCUSD
The cryptocurrency market is relatively more volatile than others, which also mean potentially higher returns, we test the indicator using certainly the most traded cryptocurrency, BTCUSD. We will use a position sizing of 1 unit.
In the case of BTCUSD the strategy balance is relatively stationary around the initial capital, with of course high dispersion.
from september to december the market is bearish with various ranging periods, no apparent cycles can be observed, except maybe in the ranging period of october, this ranging period is followed by a non linear trend (relatively parabolic) that the indicator failed to capture in its integrity (this is a recurrent problem and it is starting to piss me off xD).
In short :
$ 2010.64 net profit (aka how i bet the crypto market)
395 closed trades
38.23 % profitable
1.036 profit factor
$ 5738.01 max drawdown (aka how i lost to the crypto market)
AMD
AMD stand for Advanced Micro Devices and is a company focused on the development of computer technology, i love the microprocessor market and i really like AMD who start this year in a pretty great way with a net bullish trend.
The performance of the indicator on AMD is decent (at last !) with the equity producing many new higher highs. The indicator performance still drop in the middle end of 2019 with a large equity drawdown of 17$ caused by the gap of august 8. Unfortunately AMD, like lot of well behaving stocks can only tells us that the indicator has good performances on heavily trending markets with no excess of noise or chaotic structures.
In short :
$ 17.86 net profit (Enough for a consistent lunch)
295 closed trades
36.27 % profitable
1.414 profit factor
$ 10.37 max drawdown.
Conclusion
A strategy using the recently proposed Grover Llorens activator has been presented. We can easily conclude that the indicator can't possibly generate long term returns under chaotic and volatile markets, and could even produce unnecessary trades in trending markets without much parasitic fluctuations such as noise and retracements (think about a simple linear trend) since the indicator converge toward the price and would therefore automatically cross over/under the trend, thus guaranteeing a false signal.
However we have seen its ability to provide accurate early reversal detection shine from time to time, thus over performing lagging indicators in this aspect, however the duration of price fluctuations isn't fixed at a certain period, the rate of convergence should be way faster during volatile fluctuations, of moderate speed during more cyclic fluctuations, and really slow with apparent long term trends, this could be achieved by making the indicator adaptive, but it won't really make it necessarily perform better.
That said i still believe that converging trend indicators are really interesting and aim to capture the non lasting behavior of price fluctuations, they shouldn't receive so much hate (think about the poor p-sar).
Thanks for reading !
UT Bot Strategy with Backtesting Range [QuantNomad]UT Bot indicator was inially developer by @Yo_adriiiiaan
Idea of original code belongs @HPotter
I can't update my original UT Bot Strategy so I publishing new strategy with backtesting range included.
I just took code of Yo_adriiiiaan, cleaned it, deleted all useless pieces of code, transformet to v4 and created a strategy from it.
Also I added an input that allows you to swich to signals from Heiking Ashi. I saw that author uses HA for the indicator and on HA it look much nices then on real candles.
Do not add this strategy to HA candles, use usual candles and this checkbox.
Original script:
UT Bot
Donchian Breakout StrategyThis strategy buys when the Donchian Channel is broken to the upside and uses the lower Donchian Channel line as a trailing stop. You can also choose to use a moving average as a filter to keep you out of trades that are counter trend.
You can also configure which dates you want to backtest, so you can see how this behaves over specific time frames and market cycles.

Original script:
Strategy based on the principles of Price ActionIt is considered the percentage of candles with low and high closure for a certain period. Then, a moving average is built from these values. When the moving average of the ratio of tall candles to low candles is greater than the ratio of low candles to high, then long (that is, when the green line crosses the red). And vice versa - a condition for short. It also works on crypto with other settings. Idea for improvement: you can make partial exit by taking, at certain profit levels, the chart will be more stable. Result with a commission of 0.004% You can create an optimizer, and use this strategy on any liquid asset. (Sorry for google translator)
QuarryLake v4As some of you requested, I will make the code for QuarryLake Open for you all.
I have also updated the script in version 4.
This strategy consists of 3 indicators that I found works quite well together.
Keltner Channel, Waddah Attah Explosion, and Volatility Stop .
KC Period = 200
KCATR = 5
Vstop Period = 3
Vstop Mult = 1.5
Long when close > KC, close > Vstop, WAE trendUp
Short when close < KC, close < Vstop, WAE trendDown
Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD , as well as other major liquid Pair.
This strategy utilized a modified Kelly position sizing for BTCUSD Bitstamp , feel free to modify it to your needs.
And lastly,
Save Hong Kong, the revolution of our times.
SELO Triangular WaveBased on master indicator creator @AlexGrovers scripts i just combined some of his work.
Result depends on settings and pairs and is not forward tested yet although the backtest can give some good results.
GetTrend Strategy (modified & ported to PS4)This is a port to PS4 of an amazingly simple solution that may have good prospects as a standalone indicator, an add-on or an integral part of a trading system. Many thanks to its authors and contributors.
Bollinger Band Strategy (Basic) Version 1 This strategy is for learning purposes only. Pay special attention to these strategies on longer aggregation periods (like 1 hr chart or more). Don't expect accurate results when you set a limit to 10 cents above your entry to be accurate. For example if you set the chart to 1 day, the price may move down and hit a stop 10 times then tag your limit. If this doesn't make sense, just don't use strategies here. Learn more first. That being said, I don't have specific recommendations for each aggregation period, backtesting isn't always perfect.
Now then, this strategy can be used as the traditional BB method by setting the "Stop" and "Limit Out" to like 10000, check "Reversal Entry" and uncheck "Limit Time of Day" This will keep the strategy running just reverse your position when price crosses outside each band.
INPUTS:
Length - length of WMA that I used for mean of Bollinger Band (this may suppose to be SMA, too bad)
Source - O-H-L-C basis for WMA
Deviation - normal Standard deviation that would be set when using Bollinger Band
Trailing stop check box - your stop value will be either a hard stop or trailing stop for an exit
Stop - the stop value - remember you can set this really high and it won't stop out
Limit Out - the limit value for exit
Reversal Entry check box - This changes each entry from a reversal (traditional idea of BB) to enter a trend trade - hopefully version 2 will have choice to trend one direction and reversal in the other.
Limit Time of Day - Especially when trading futures, you may want to only trade a specific time of day, when this box is checked, you can set the entry times below, exit will still only occur based on limit/stop or a flip entry order (the opposite entry condition is met)
Tips:
when I don't know a thing about a price range, like gold. I can set the limit out to 10000 and play with a trailing stop to get a better idea of what is even possible before tuning further.
QuantNomad - SuperTrend - XBTUSD - 1mInteresting performance for Super Trend strategy for XBTUSD 1m chart.
Params: ST Mult: 2, ST Period 14.
Performance: 144% profit, 1988 trades, only 41% prof, 2.04% dd , 2.51 Sharpe.
On its own, it might be not a very good strategy, but the big amount of trades allows you to add more filters and improve it.
And remember:
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
QuantNomad - SuperTrend - TSLA - 1mInteresting performance for Super Trend strategy for Tesla ( TSLA ) 1m chart.
Params: ST Mult: 3, ST Period 120.
Performance:61% profit, 637 trades, only 33% prof, 4.84% dd , 0.4 Sharpe.
On its own, it might be not a very good strategy, but the big amount of trades allows you to add more filters and improve it.
The strategy is not bad both with "when" params when strategy executed on open of next bar and with stop orders when strategy enters on exact Super Trend level.
You can comment/uncomment lines in the code and switch from one approach to another.
And remember:
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Smooth Moving Average Ribbon [STRATEGY] @PuppyTherapyThe Smooth moving average ribbon script is an enhancement of the script I posted yesterday. But will help you also create a very simple trend-following strategy or a simple trend-following filter.
You are able to select from a large variety of moving averages add Heikin Ashi Candles as a source and also add additional smoothing to every single of the moving averages.
The Strategy is using the basic backtesting engine.
It is a showcase that a simple strategy like buy when we going up and sell when we going down actually works especially on a bigger timeframe.
Thanks to all supporters and everget for some of the moving average scripts.
