Risk Reward Optimiser [ChartPrime]█ CONCEPTS
In modern day strategy optimization there are few options when it comes to optimizing a risk reward ratio. Users frequently need to experiment and go through countless permutations in order to tweak, adjust and find optimal in their data.
Therefore we have created the Risk Reward Optimizer.
The Risk Reward Optimizer is a technical tool designed to provide traders with comprehensive insights into their trading strategies.
It offers a range of features and functionalities aimed at enhancing traders' decision-making process.
With a focus on comprehensive data, it is there to help traders quickly and efficiently locate Risk Reward optimums for inbuilt of custom strategies.
█ Internal and external Signals:
The script can optimize risk to reward ratio for any type of signals
You can utilize the following :
🔸Internal signals ➞ We have included a number of common indicators into the optimizer such as:
▫️ Aroon
▫️ AO (Awesome Oscillator)
▫️ RSI (Relative Strength Index)
▫️ MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
▫️ SuperTrend
▫️ Stochastic RSI
▫️ Stochastic
▫️ Moving averages
All these indicators have 3 conditions to generate signals :
Crossover
High Than
Less Than
🔸External signal
▫️ by incorporating your own indicators into the analysis. This flexibility enables you to tailor your strategy to your preferences.
◽️ How to link your signal with the optimizer:
In order to be able to analysis your signal we need to read it and to do so we would need to PLOT your signal with a defined value
plot( YOUR LONG Condition ? 100 : 0 , display = display.data_window)
█ Customizable Risk to Reward Ratios:
This tool allows you to test seven different customizable risk to reward ratios , helping you determine the most suitable risk-reward balance for your trading strategy. This data-driven approach takes the guesswork out of setting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
█ Comprehensive Data Analysis:
The tool provides a table displaying key metrics, including:
Total trades
Wins
Losses
Profit factor
Win rate
Profit and loss (PNL)
This data is essential for refining your trading strategy.
🔸 It includes a tooltip for each risk to reward ratio which gives data for the:
Most Profitable Trade USD value
Most Profitable Trade % value
Most Profitable Trade Bar Index
Most Profitable Trade Time (When it occurred)
Position and size is adjustable
█ Visual insights with histograms:
Visualize your trading performance with histograms displaying each risk to reward ratio trade space, showing total trades, wins, losses, and the ratio of profitable trades.
This visual representation helps you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your strategy.
It offers tooltips for each RR ratio with the average win and loss percentages for further analysis.
█ Dynamic Highlighting:
A drop-down menu allows you to highlight the maximum values of critical metrics such as:
Profit factor
Win rate
PNL
for quick identification of successful setups.
█ Stop Loss Flexibility:
You can adjust stop-loss levels using three different calculation methods:
ATR
Pivot
VWAP
This allows you to align risk-reward ratios with your preferred risk tolerance.
█ Chart Integration:
Visualize your trades directly on your price chart, with each trade displayed in a distinct color for easy tracking.
When your take-profit (TP) level is reached , the tool labels the corresponding risk-reward ratio for that specific TP, simplifying trade management.
█ Detailed Tooltips:
Tooltips provide deeper insights into your trading performance. They include information about the most profitable trade, such as the time it occurred, the bar index, and the percentage gain. Histogram tooltips also offer average win and loss percentages for further analysis.
█ Settings:
█ Code:
In summary, the Risk Reward Optimizer is a data-driven tool that offers traders the ability to optimize their risk-reward ratios, refine their strategies, and gain a deeper understanding of their trading performance. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or investor, this tool can help you make informed decisions and improve your trading outcomes.
[pAulseperformance] PSStrategyX█ OVERVIEW
This script reduces the amount of time it takes to turn your indicator into a live trading bot.
It will convert your signals into alerts that will be sent to your exchange for trading.
The script features a broker connector to automate alert syntax and connect with third-party exchanges to live trade strategies with minimal setup.
It also includes an enhanced version of the built-in backtester with customizable options to speed up backtesting, trade-by-trade statistics, and a chart strategy summary to help traders make informed decisions.
The PSStrategyX trading tool is designed to provide traders with a range of benefits, including:
Increased confidence in their strategies.
Better understanding of the accuracy of indicator signals.
Simplified automated trading through third-party broker connections.
Reduced time to develop strategies by focusing on signal development only. No need to work with complicated strategy testing code and 3rd party automation.
█ FEATURES
Broker Connector
— Supports Autoview (More Connectors added in the future)
— Connects and auto trades with most exchanges
— No need for Webhooks (AutoView)
— Can forward test live strategies on Testnets before using real money.
Built in Backtester loaded with options to speed up backtesting
— Standard strategy features including stop loss, take profit, and various filters reduce the time and complexity involved in building a working strategy.
Trade By Trade Statistics
— Gain insight on every trade with additional trade-by-trade statistics.
Strategy Summary
— Get instant feedback on your chart of your strategies performance. Visual cues and feedback give you hints on where to look and what to improve.
Strategy Tester Enhancements
— Take the max trades allowed in the strategy tester without errors.
— Take the largest or smallest trade allowed without errors.
█ WHY?
The PSStrategyX tool was developed to solve a common problem faced by traders who use Pine Script on TradingView: the inability to integrate Pine Script with exchanges through TradingView.
Without this integration, traders need to go through several extra steps to live trade their Pine Script strategies on a real exchange with real money. This includes finding a broker, learning the new syntax for the broker, and placing that syntax correctly in the strategy.
These steps can be time-consuming and add complexity to the codebase.
The PSStrategyX tool simplifies this process by automatically configuring the correct alert syntax to connect to third-party exchanges, allowing traders to live trade their strategies with minimal setup. This saves traders time and effort, allowing them to focus on signal development rather than complicated strategy testing code and 3rd party automation.
Additionally, the tool was developed to address the time-consuming task of converting any one of the thousands of great free indicators on TradingView to strategies through hours of coding.
Overall, I built the PSStrategyX to streamline the auto trading process and make auto trading more accessible to traders of all levels.
█ HOW TO USE THIS?
Using the PSStrategyX trading tool is a straightforward process that requires a few key steps:
1 — Generate trading signals: You need a signal generator that can provide buy and sell signals for your preferred trading instrument(s).
You can use TradingView's indicators or create your own custom indicators using TradingView's Pine programming language.
2 — Connect trading signals to PSStrategyX: You will use 2 scripts on your chart. One generates buy/sell/exit signals, and the other is the PSStrategyX script executing those signals as trades.
To set this up you will need to make sure that your signal generator is an indicator, NOT a strategy.
Make sure the signals are being plotted buy = 1; sell = -1; exit = 0; signals in one plot. Exits are optional.
Example plot(buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : exit ? 0 : na)
You will choose the plot with buy/sell/exit signals inside the PSStrategyX tool to execute trades. If you need help, check out the docs for more details.
3 — Set up the broker connector (optional): If you want to take live trades with this tool, you will need to set up a third party connecter. Once set up, everything is automated. See more details in the "authors instructions." at the bottom of this post.
4 — Set up an exchange account (optional): If you want to trade on an exchange, you will need to set up an account with the exchange you plan to use.
The Broker Connector supports a range of popular exchanges, including Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, Oanda and more.
Once you have generated your trading signals, set up the Broker connecter (optional) and set up an exchange account (optional), you can start using the PSStrategyX trading tool to execute trades automatically based on your trading signals.
█ LIMITATIONS
Here are some important limitations to keep in mind when using the PSStrategyX trading tool:
General:
— Once the alert is sent, there is no way to monitor positions on any exchange. The order will be processed by the broker connector and sent to the exchange.
While this usually works fine, it's important to check the log for errors.
Sometimes the broker connector may fail to process the order, or the exchange may not process it for various reasons.
— The tool sends TP/SL orders with the entry order when possible to protect your order in case of errors or if you lose a connection.
However, not all exchanges accept TP/SL orders, and sometimes your entry order will be left unprotected.
FIFO:
— This tool DOES NOT support the First In First Out (FIFO) method for closing positions.
— Instead, it uses the ANY method. There currently is no way to make this variable.
█ FAQ
What does PSStrategyX do exactly?
PSStrategyX is a strategy enhancing, backtester, forwardtester, automation and simulation tool. It's NOT a signal generator, and does not produce buy/sell signals by itself. You provide buy/sell signals, and PSStrategyX will put those signals on steroids...basically.
PSStrategyX helps you figure out what indicators actually work. Without wasting time learning how to code.
Why did you choose AutoView for this tool?
AutoView offered the best integration I could find. They allow you to connect to test exchanges for free, which is great for practicing without using real money. They also work without using webhooks, which means you can live trade without paying for Tradingview pro. Additionally, AutoView supports many different exchanges. I don't work for AutoView, but if you sign up through my referral link and purchase a paid version, I earn a commission.
Why doesn't Tradingview automatically connect Pine Script to exchanges?
This is a great question, but unfortunately I don't have the answer. It would definitely be helpful if Tradingview provided this feature, but it might also put some brokers out of business.

basilGrid GridBot Live [basilChart]This strategy is a full implementation of Live Grid Trading.
Prominent features of this live grid trading strategy are:
- Logarithmic Chart Support: This strategy can support Log Scale on graph. Meaning that grid lines won't have irregular gaps in between the lines if you would like to view the chart Log Scaled. Every line will be aligned correctly even if you use Log Scale or not.
- Precise Buy & Sell: Script will execute precise Buy and Sell orders.
- Dynamic Grid Level Count: From 2 grid levels to n amount of grid levels are supported. There is no limitation on grid level count, however there may be irregularities because of limitations when higher grid levels are used. You can pick any number starting from 2.
- Average Price: Traders can monitor average price of positions.
- Alerts: When order is filled trader can receive notification. Create new alert > Select basilGrid Live > Order fills only()
Characteristics of this script:
- Able to fill more than one order in one single candle.
- Levels will keep being updated with every trade.
- There will be always one grid level ignored and it will be the level which made the last order filling possible. This is normal behavior of grid trading system.
- You can both use Log Scale and Normal Scale with this script. No issue will be on grid levels.
Using the script:
- Add this script to the chart from indicators tab
- Set starting date for the live grid bot either by dragging and dropping the vertical line or by the date-time picker from indicator Inputs tab.

Backtest AdapterThis is a proof-of-concept Backtest Adapter that can be used with my recent publication "Machine Learning: Lorentzian Classification" located here:
This adapter is helpful because it enables interactive backtesting with TradingView's built-in "Strategy Tester" framework without the need to translate the logic from an "indicator" script to a "strategy" script.
To use this, one must have the "Machine Learning: Lorentzian Classification" script and this Backtest Adapter open simultaneously on the same chart. From there, simply change the "Source" setting of the Backtest Adapter to "Lorentzian Classification: Backtest Stream" to transfer the entry/exit signals stream to the Backtest Adapter.
For an example of how to implement your own backtest stream in your indicators, please refer to the "Backtesting" section in the source code of the "Machine Learning: Lorentzian Classification" script, which is shown below for convenience:
Cyatophilum Universal Oscillator TraderAn indicator to backtest and create an infinite number of strategies using any external indicator.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator allows you to create your oscillator strategy and get backtest results from the Strategy Tester.
You can also create alerts for each of the strategy events.
█ HOW TO USE
Choose a strategy direction long or short that you want to create.
Always use regular candle type.
Configure your entry condition . To use any other indicator as source, it needs to be added to the chart first.
If you have the basic (free) TradingView plan, you can only have 1 indicator on your chart, and cannot use this external source feature. For this case, the indicator has a list of built-in oscillator (that can be increased upon request).
Then choose your condition: Cross over, Greater than, Pullback, Turning up, etc.
You now have your entry and should already see trades on the chart!
Next you can fine tune your entry condition or move to the risk management and filters.
Configure your stop loss
Use the stop loss feature to exit a trade at a certain loss.
You can also create a trailing stop using price % movement or ATR.
Configure your profit target
Use the Take Profit feature to set a target in percentage of price. You can also make it trail.
Configure your safety orders
This indicator has a safety orders feature to reduce the risk of your trade. See more below.
Check your backtest parameters
Make sure that the initial capital and order size make sense. Since it is a pyramiding strategy with safety orders, the sum of all deals should not be bigger than the initial capital.
If you use % equity as order size, please note that it will create compounding.
Check the fees, by default they are set to 0.1%.
I also recommend to set a slippage that corresponds to your exchange's spread.
█ FEATURES
• Strategy direction
Configure to go long or short.
• Entry Conditions
- External Oscillator source
- Built-in Oscillator (for basic plans)
- Base Condition for entry (Less/Greater than, Crossing Up/Down, Pullback Bull/Bear, Turning Up/Down, etc. More can be added later on)
- Additional Momentum Condition: Oscillator should be rising/falling for x number of bars
- Addition Threshold Condition: Oscillator should be Greater/Lowser than x
• Trend Filter
Filter Trades using 1 or 2 moving averages (MTF), based on Slop Change or Price Cross. Trend line is green = only longs, red = only shorts.
• Entry Filters
- Volume filter to remove low volume entries
- Overbought/Oversold filters
- Flat market Filter
• Stop Loss and Take Profit
Configure your stop loss and take profit for long and short trades.
You can also make a trailing take profit and trailing stop.
• DCA (Safety orders)
Create up to 100 safety orders with configurable options for step and volume scaling, take profit from total volume, base and safety order size.
• Backtest Settings
Choose a backtest period, longs or shorts, wether to use limit orders or not.

A lightweight mode to remove background plots and make the indicator load faster.
█ ALERTS
The indicator is using the alert() calls: it only uses 1 alert slot to send order messages for each event (Long/Short entry, stop loss, take profit, safety order, exit timer). This means basic-free TV plans can create 1 complete strategy.
To set your alert messages, open the indicator settings and scroll to the bottom of the "inputs" tab.
Create your alert after you set the messages in the indicator settings, and make sure "Any alert() function call" is set in the alert option.
Use placeholders to automatically replace values in your alert messages like price, target profit, order size etc. (see the indicator inputs).
█ BACKTEST RESULTS
The backtest settings can be seen in the 'Properties' tab of the backtest report below.

Miyagi BacktesterMiyagi: The attempt at mastering something for the best results.
Miyagi indicators combine multiple trigger conditions and place them in one toolbox for traders to easily use, produce alerts, backtest, reduce risk and increase profitability.
The Miyagi Backtester is a standalone backtester which is to be applied to the chart after the Miyagi indicator to be backtested.
The backtester can only backtest one script at a time, and is meant to backtest ONCE PER BAR CLOSE entries.
It is currently not possible to backtest ONCE PER BAR entries.
The backtester will allow users to all Miyagi Indicators using DCA strategies to show returns over a selectable time period.
The backtester allows leverage, and as such users should be aware of the Maximum Amount for Bot Usage and Leverage Required Calculations.
The DCA Selector switch will allow users to backtest with, or without DCA.
Static DCA is used within the backtester and allows users to see DCA Statistics on closed trades.
How to use the Miyagi Backtester
Step 1: Apply the Miyagi Indicator of Choice to backtest (4in1/10in1/Strend).
DATE AND TIME RANGE:
-Date and time range to backtest.
TRADE:
-Entry source to backtest. Please select the "Outbound Entry Signal Sender"
-Trade Direction to backtest. This can be helpful to backtest according to your strategy (long or short).
-Take Profit % to backtest. This is the percent take profit to backtest. Slippage can be accounted for on the "Properties" tab.
-Stoploss % to backtest. This is the percent stoploss to backtest.
DCA:
DCA Checkbox: Enable the DCA Checkbox to backtest with DCA. Disable it to backtest without DCA.
Leverage: Input the Leverage you will trade with.
Base Order Size (% Equity): This is the Base order (BO) size to backtest in % of equity.
Safety Order Size (% Equity): This is the Safety order (SO) size to backtest in % of equity.
Number of DCA Orders: This is the maximum amount of DCA orders to place, or total DCA orders.
Price Deviation (% from initial order): This is the percent at which the first safety is placed.
Safety Order Step Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the deviation for the step calculation to determine next SO placement.
Safety Order Volume Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the safety orders for the volume calculation to determine SO Volume.
Real world DCA Example:
The process is as follows.
Base Order: This is your initial order size, $100 used for Base Order
Safety Order: This is your first safety order size, which is placed at the deviation. $100 Safety Order, it is good to keep the same size as your BO for your scaling to be effective.
Price deviation: This is the deviation at which your first Safety order is placed. 0.3-0.75% used by most of our members.
Safety Order Volume Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the safety orders for the volume calculation. Scale of 2 used, which means that SO2 = (SO1) * 2, or $200. This scaling is typical for all following orders and as such SO3 = (SO2) *2, or $400.
Safety Order Step Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the deviation for the step calculation. This is similar to the volume scale however the last order percentage is added.
Scale of 2 used, which means that SO2 % = ((Deviation) * 2) + (SO1%). (0.5% *2) + (0.5) = 1.5%.
This scaling is typical for all following orders except that the prior deviation is used and as such SO3 = ((Prior%) * 2) + (Deviation). (1.5% * 2) +(0.5%) or 3.5%.
Total SO Number: The calculations will continue going until the last SO. It is helpful to understand the amount of SO’s and scaling determines how efficient your DCA is.

Net Profit to display net profit
Daily Net Profit to estimate
Percent Profitable which shows ratio of winning trades to losing trades.

[MT] Strategy Backtest Template| Initial Release | | EN |
An update of my old script, this script is designed so that it can be used as a template for all those traders who want to save time when programming their strategy and backtesting it, having functions already programmed that in normal development would take you more time to program, with this template you can simply add your favorite indicator and thus be able to take advantage of all the functions that this template has.
🔴Stop Loss and 🟢Take Profit:
No need to mention that it is a Stop Loss and a Take Profit, within these functions we find the options of: fixed percentage (%), fixed price ($), ATR, especially for Stop Loss we find the Pivot Points, in addition to this, the price range between the entry and the Stop Loss can be converted into a trailing stop loss, instead, especially for the Take Profit we have an option to choose a 1:X ratio that complements very well with the Pivot Points.
📈Heikin Ashi Based Entries:
Heikin Ashi entries are trades that are calculated based on Heikin Ashi candles but their price is executed to Japanese candles, thus avoiding false results that occur in Heikin candlestick charts, this making in certain cases better results in strategies that are executed with this option compared to Japanese candlesticks.
📊Dashboard:
A more visual and organized way to see the results and necessary data produced by our strategy, among them we can see the dates between which our operations are made regardless if you have activated some time filter, usual data such as Profit, Win Rate, Profit factor are also displayed in this panel, additionally data such as the total number of operations, how many were gains and how many losses, the average profit and loss for each operation and finally the maximum profits and losses followed, which are data that will be very useful to us when we elaborate our strategies.
Feel free to use this template to program your own strategies, if you find errors or want to request a new feature let me know in the comments or through my social networks found in my tradingview profile.

AlgoTrade DCA Bot Backtester█ OVERVIEW
This script can be used to backtest DCA Bots. It draws inspiration from 3Commas and has most settings that are available on 3Commas. It contains a few popular DCA Bot Presets that are well known in the community for you to test out! Preset used here: Kirigakure V4
█ FEATURES
DCA Preset (Custom, Standard TA,Urma Lite V3,Kirigakure V1,Kirigakure V3,Kirigakure V4)
Order Size Type (Fixed/% of equity to simulate compounding)
Base Order Size
Safety Order Size
Max Safety Trades Count
Price Deviation to open safety order %
Safety Order Volume Scale
Safety Order Step Scale
Take Profit %
Use ADR (Average Daily Range) as Take Profit
ADR length (if ADR as take profit is enabled)
Take Profit Type (% from total volume / % from base order)
Trailing Take Profit
Stop Loss
Deal Start Condition (Start ASAP) ▶ More Deal Starting Conditions will be added in the future
Bot Direction (Long / Short)
Start Time ▶ 1999-01-01 (Use this to always backtest the entire history)
End Time
This strategy also allows you to plot the Average Price and Take Profit of each trade, so it's easier to follow the trade and understand what's happening.
█ HOW TO USE
1. Select a DCA Preset and change the initial capital to the exact amount that is required (seen in the error message on top of the table). When using a Preset the following settings will be locked, meaning if you change them in the script's settings it won't have any effect:
Base Order Size
Safety Order Size
Max Safety Trades Count
Price Deviation to open safety order %
Safety Order Volume Scale
Safety Order Step Scale
Use ADR (Average Daily Range) as Take Profit
1.1 When using Presets you can choose the Order Size Type of Fixed or % of equity which simulates compounding
1.2 Choose a Direction and a Start and End Time
2. To backtest customized settings choose the preset "Custom"
2.1 All other settings are now "unlocked" and can be used
█ LIMITATIONS
Whenever a DCA preset is changed the initial_capital needs to be changed to the exact amount the settings require. If the initial_capital is not the same there will be an error of top of the table. To fix this error navigate to the Script's Settings and Properties and change the initial_capital to the same amount that is stated in the error.
DCA Bots with a high number of safety orders, e.g. 100, can run into an error that says "Maximum number of orders (9000) reached". If this error happens change the backtesting time to a shorter timeframe.
Using % of equity simulates compounding but is unrealistic because you cannot re-invest every single dollar

3C Reversal Filter v1In essence, this strategy is a heavily smoothed range filter.
This strategy includes a backtester and ability to connect it with your 3 commas bot(See adviced settings below)
The calculation steps below gives an example on how signals are made:
1. Calculating the price movement using ATR, % change, standard deviation etc..
2. Obtaining the smoothed price using SMA.
3. Obtaining the absolute value of the bar-to-bar change.
4. Applying EMA, twice, to the values in step 3.
5. Obtaining the slow trailing line by multiplying the result of step 4 by 1.618.
Think of it as a heavily smoothed price range
If the 1.618 value looks familiar, that’s because it’s used in Fibonacci sequences. You can of course experiment with other values. I’ve seen good results with both 2.618 and 4.236
What does the strategy do?
1. Determine Trend Detection
2. Detect Short-Term Momentum
3commas settings:
-For now you can only use simple bots.
-Create LONG and SHORT bots for the coins you like to trade and set up alerts(You can send long and short signal from the same alert)
-Set TP to 50% the strategy will handle buys and exits based on your inputs.
-Set safety orders to 0. I might add DCA to the strategy if testing proves that to be a good solution.
-When you have made the bots input the bot ID and token adress in the settings of the strategy.
-When creating the alert use this webhook :https://3commas.io/trade_signal/trading_view
-In the message field you use {{strategy.order.alert_message}} as the placeholder.
TTP Volume CSThis indicator helps you flagging areas where the volume is higher or lower than a moving average of the volume.
You can define a % threshold and whether you want the volume to be below or above the simple moving average of the volume.
The areas that are above the MA of the volume are shown in green and below in red.
Lookback parameter
This parameter allows you to check back in time for your condition. You can use it for reducing the noise of volume fluctuations
Examples of use:
- show areas where the volume is 20% above the SMA30 of the volume
- show areas where the volume is 40% below the SMA30 of the volume
Examples of trading ideas with this indicator:
- Areas of low volume can act as a reversal of the price.
- Areas where volume is too high as well.
- Trading in areas of low volume can affect the results when scalping
Crodl Pump & DumpThe reason why this indicator is called Pump and Dump is because it is based on volume.
The indicator focuses on volume levels to see if there is an increase in volume before deciding if it is worth entering a Position.
Long example = This will use ATR and price averages to trend Bullish and once the trend favours the upside it will then look at the Volume candles and if a candle is bigger then the average volume and the trend (ATR) is above a certain level it will then Give us a long entry if those conditions are true. We can have more than one long after one another since it will give us a position every-time the conditions are true and after TP(take profit) 1 or a Stop Loss was hit.
Short example = If the trend based on average price is trending downwards and we can see an increase of volume it will wait till we break a certain level breaks when we get the average price from the highs and Lows, then once the trend has met the bearish conditions it will wait for increase in volume and trigger a Sell. The sell will close once TP(take profit) 1 or a Stop Loss is hit.
In the inputs you can adjust the MA (moving average length. This helps to decide if the Trend is bearish or bullish. Higher moving averages will give you less entries and a lower moving average will give you more entries ,since price crosses lower MA's more it will change the trend more often.
Sensitivity is a divider of the MA values is so the higher the Sensitivity the lower the more trades you get since the trend is changing faster.
You will see that there is a backtesting panel on your chart when you look in the inputs there will be a statistics tab which will have 1. Simple 2. Mobile 3. Hide options
1. Simple is designed when you are using a PC or Laptop
2.Can be used when you are using your mobile it will show less data but won't be in your way
3.This will hide the backtesting panel on your screen.
Exit strategy.
there are 3 Types of exits for this indicator.
1 .CrodlExit which is ATR indicator based Exit with a divider.
2 . fIxed SL , this works in % so 1 = 1% market move.
3 .Reverse exits = Longs exit shorts and shorts exit longs.
there are 4 take profit targets and all of them are adjustable.
1= 0.5% by default
2=1% by default
3=1.5% by default
4=2% by default
on the Back tester you will find the following information :
Timeframe of your chart and then the Symbol or pair you are trading.
First trade = when the back tester starts to read data.
Total trade = Total buy and total sell signals and then total trades are buy + sell signals.
total win = total buys hit take profit 1 and total sells that hit take profit 1 and then total buy + total sells that hit take profit 1.
total loss = total buys that hit which ever exit mode you selected in the inputs by default it is crodl exit and total sells that hit which ever exit mode you selected in the inputs by default it is crodl exit and then you will get total buy losses + total sell losses to get total loss.
TP1= the % difference between total trades won and lost for the 1st take profit target and your stop loss method you chose.
TP2= the % difference between total trades won and lost for the 2nd take profit target and your stop loss method you chose.
TP3= the % difference between total trades won and lost for the 3rd take profit target and your stop loss method you chose.
TP4= the % difference between total trades won and lost for the 4th take profit target and your stop loss method you chose.
average win streak give you the average of how many winning trades you had every time before hitting a stop loss.
average loss streak is how many stop loss you hit on average before take profit one has been reached.
longest win streak give you the amount of winning trades you had without hitting a stop lossl that is selected in your inputs.
longest loss streak give you the amount of losing trades you had one after the other before hitting take profit 1.
Cyatophilum 3Commas DCA Bot BacktesterAn indicator to backtest and automate 3Commas DCA Bots.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator allows you to replicate your bot settings and get backtest results from the Strategy Tester and also a backtest panel with additional information on the safety orders.
You can also create alerts for each of the strategy events.
█ HOW TO USE
Choose a symbol that corresponds to your bot pair and exchange.
Pick a chart time frame as small as possible, usually 1 minute. The timeframe should always be smaller or equal to the deal start conditions timeframes.
Always use regular candle type.
Configure your deal start condition . You can combine several technical indicators to trigger an entry using a AND logical gate.
Configure your profit target
Use the Take Profit feature to set a target in percentage of price. You can also make it trail.
There is also a Stop Loss feature that is turned off by default.
Configure your safety orders
Replicate the safety orders from your bot into the indicator inputs.
Check your backtest parameters
Make sure that the initial capital and order size make sense. Since it is a pyramiding strategy with safety orders, the sum of all deals should not be bigger than the initial capital.
In this example: Initial capital is 0.02 BTC, which around 600$. I used 1000$ to be safe.
If you use % equity as order size, please note that it will create compounding.
Check the fees, by default they are set to 0.1%.
I also recommend to set a slippage that corresponds to your exchange's spread.
█ FEATURES
• Strategy direction
Configure wether to go long or short.
• Deal Start Conditions
The current conditions available are:
- Up to 4 MTF Trading View ratings conditions (Buy/Sell, Strong Buy/Sell)
- Up to 4 MTF RSI with configurable start conditions (Less/Greater than, Crossing Up/Down)

- Up to 2 MTF TA presets with the following options (Bollinger Bands, MFI, CCI, MACD, PSAR, SMA crosses, Heikin Ashi)
• Stop Loss and Take Profit
Configure your stop loss and take profit for long and short trades.
You can also make a trailing take profit.
• DCA (Safety orders)
Create up to 100 safety orders with configurable options for step and volume scaling, take profit from total volume, base and safety order size.
• Backtest Settings
Choose a backtest period, longs or shorts, wether to use limit orders or not.
Graphics
A Configuration panel with all the indicator settings, useful for sharing/saving a strategy.
A Backtest Results panel with additional information from the strategy tester.
█ ALERTS
The indicator is using the alert() calls: it only uses 1 alert slot to send order messages for each event (Long/Short entry, stop loss, take profit, safety order). This means free TV plans can create 1 complete strategy.
To set your alert messages, open the indicator settings and scroll to the bottom of the "inputs" tab.
Create your alert after you set the messages in the indicator settings, and make sure "Any alert() function call" is set in the alert option.
█ BACKTEST RESULTS
The backtest settings used in this snapshot are the following:
Initial Capital: 1000€
Order size: 0.003 BTC
Commission: 0.1 % per order
Slippage : 1 tick

Easy Backtester PROWHAT IS EasyBacktester ?
EasyBacktester is a tool that helps you backtest trading strategies built by yourself with an included strategy builder and a multitude of options.
From within the parameters of the tool, you can specifically pick your entry settings across 12 most common indicators, such as "RSI", "MACD", "Moving Averages" etc... Then you can immediately visualise your setup's Stop-loss & Take Profit, your expected Profits & Loss and a lot of other statistics for your entry strategy. Once you are satisfied with your entry strategy, you are given a set of tools to optimize your setup using stop-loss rules, take profits rules, partial profits, trailing-stops, entry timing...
WHY IS THIS TOOL DIFFERENT ?
EasyBacktester is a backtesting engine with no coding skills required. TradingView allows for "Strategy Scripting" using PineScript, which is not an option for non-coder audience. EasyBacktester fills this gap and allow non-coders to get an idea of how their trading strategies may perform using mouse clicks only.
Some similar attempts have been made on TradingView, allowing some limited options, but none have the same capabilities EasyBacktester offers, for instance, as of April 2022 these features have not been seen in any other TradingView tools:
- partial take profits
- leverage simulation
- a multitude of trailing stop-loss possibilities including trail triggers and trail parameters
- visualisation of entries including stop-loss, take profits, partial take profits, and trailing stops. One can now visualize such complex setups.
- visualisation of Profits & Loss
- time in trade
- wait strategy after a signal: for example, when RSI is oversold, "WAIT until price retraces 100% of the original signal" amongst other possibilities
QUICK START GUIDE:
STEP 1: DEFINE YOUR SIGNAL STRATEGY
From the settings of the tool, find the "SIGNALS STRATEGY" section.
Select a type of entry you wish to simulate, for example "LONGs", and activate the checkbox right before "Simulate".
Right below, you will find 4 signal builder for you to play with and pick your strategy accordingly.
For example, to simulate a signal when RSI is oversold, follow these steps:
- On the 1st multiple choice box, select "RSI"
- On the 2nd multiple choice box, select "is below..."
- On the 3rd multiple choice box, select "OverSold level"
Don't forget to activate this rule by checking the checkbox in front of it.
After this first step, one should immediately see the chart affected with some plots. The dots represents the signal entry defined by the rule we just created, and the red/green boxes visually represent trades that could have been taken with this signal which, in this example, occurs "when RSI is below oversold level". Note that all specific parameters for RSI including its specific "oversold level" is customisable at the end of the tools settings along with all other indicators settings.
STEP 2: STATISTICS
By default, the "APPEARANCE" section only plots potential entry signals (materialized by dots) and actual entry boxes (materialized by red/green boxes).
But the user can easily add other precious statistics to the chart, and obviously the most important one for backtesting: Profits & Loss (P&L).
In the "STATISTICS" section please check the "P&L" box to see appear a chart of the simulated P&L for our example. You should immediately see a new graph below the chart representing the evolution of the P&L after each entry.
Other statistics are available to the user, including: Equity, Number of Trades, Time in Position, Number of trades Won, Number of trades Lost, Number of trades Stopped.
Play around with those to see them plotted on your chart.
STEP 3: OPTIMIZE YOUR ENTRY
Under the "ENTRY STRATEGY" section, one can pick how to enter AFTER the signal, which provides the user with an extensive flexibility to pick its timing.
Here there are a various set of choices offered, ranging from the default "Market Order at Next Candle Open", to "Limit Order: at signal's candle open" or even "Stop-Buy: at break of last candle high". As its name suggests, this option allows you to actually wait before randomly enter in trade.
It is important to also note that the user can totally prevent entry if the conditions are not filled after a customizable number of candles represented in "Max bars to wait for entry" (default being 1, meaning the engine will wait the condition to be filled during only 1 candle)
STEP 4: MANAGE YOUR RISK
Under the "RISK MANAGEMENT" section, the user is given a series of options to set the amount (s)he would like to risk.
This is extremely important to set, and is the result of a combination of customizable options including:
- the Initial Capital of the account
- the amount to risk per trade, and HOW to risk it: some fixed % the initial equity or adjust the stop-loss to the desired risk ?
- use of leverage or not
- initial stop-loss, as well as minimum and maximum
- trailing stop-loss: what should trigger the trailing ? and by how much should the engine trail ?
STEP 5: HAVE AN EXIT PLAN
Under the "EXIT STRATEGY", the user can define how to exit the trade.
For instance, here again a lot of options are given:
- Take Profit: exit at some level of profits defined by a multiple of the stop-loss, or a multiple of the ATR, or some % or points
- Partial Profit taking before exit
- Panic close position after some time spent on the trade
STEP 6: FURTHER OPTIMIZATIONS
Under the sections "Commissions" & "Calendar & Sessions", one can simulate real trading conditions by including commissions fees as well as filtering actual dates and trading sessions. These sections are straightforward for any user to use.
SETP 7: INDICATORS SETTINGS
Since EasyBacktester uses a predefined set of indicators to get started, those indicators are also customizable in the last section of the settings. Here, one can easily customize RSI periodicity, MACD lengths, Moving averages types & lengths, ATR, etc...
STEP 8: GOING FURTHER
This is only a start to give users an overview of how various options affect their trading performance. But of course, each trader has its special recipe and specific detailed setup that is not possible to embed in a single tool. For advanced simulation, EasyBacktester provides plug & play connectors for advanced users. Namely, there are 3 connectors:
- signal connector
- trail trigger connector
- exit connector
Each of these connectors are an opportunity to customize the engine signals, trail trigger and exit choices with the user's own options. This case does require a little bit of coding, but it can easily be implemented by copy-pasting existing resources or with a slight help of a professional. In fact, the only conditions to build a proper connector is to export a plot with the numbers 1 (for signals), 2 (for trigger trails) and 3 (for exits). Here is an example of custom SIGNAL connector compatible with EasyBacktester, to produce a signal when last RSI was below 30 and current RSI reads above 30:
============================================================
//@version=5
indicator("My custom RSI signal")
// when previous RSI 14 was below 30 and current RSI 14 is above 30, set "custom_signal" to 1, otherwise set "custom_signal" to 0
custom_signal = ta.rsi(close, 14) < 30 and ta.rsi(close, 14) > 30 ? 1 : 0
// Export a plot of "custom_signal", but do not display it
plot(custom_signal, title="my signal", display=display.none)
============================================================
Once this indicator has been built, the user only needs to connect it with EasyBacktester as follow:
1. Open a desired chart, and add both EasyBacktester indicator as well as the custom "My custom signal" we just created above.
2. Open EasyBacktester's settings, and in the first option, there is "Connect signals source" which by default is set to "close". In the multiple choices, find your custom signal which should be named something like "My custom RSI signal: my signal", generally speaking the name is built like this " : ".
3. Now the custom code is connected to EasyBacktester, but we need to indicate the engine we actually want to use it as custom signal.
4. Under the "SIGNALS STRATEGY" section, where we generally build signals rules, there is special rule for this specific connection named "Use external source as entry signal". Just check the checkbox to activate it and see how the chart took our custom signal into consideration.
That's it for the overview of EasyBacktester. Thank you for reading and happy trading :)
Backtest HelperAre you tired of being able to see the future while you're backtesting? Have you ever clicked to a higher timeframe in bar replay, only to realize you've just seen everything that's going to happen before you've had a chance to test it? If you've had this problem, Backtest Helper is here for YOU.
All you have to do is set a start date and time, then set your desired timeframe in minutes, then you're off to the races.
For example, if you're a scalper that uses the 15 minute as their higher timeframe, set your start time at the 14th minute of the session you're testing and set your line spacing at 15 minutes. This will mark off every 14th minute on the charts. Now you know the exact moment you can go up to the 15 minute timeframe!
On our 1 minute timeframe, this is how we'd look with the above settings. The Backtest Helper has marked off the 14th, 29th, 44th and 59th minute.
When we go up to our 15 minute, there's no issues. We're seeing the candle we want to see and not the next 15 minute candle.
You can use this for any timeframe. Just make sure you set your start time to at least 1 minute before the close of the candle and your line spacing to the higher timeframe (in minutes) you want to target.
TTP Grid BacktesterThis pine script strategy allows to backtest Grid bots.
This initial version offers the following features:
- Set the top and bottom limits of the grid
- Plots the average position price, realised and unrealised profits
- Set the value to invest
- This script is a strategy so you can check each individual buy/sell, stats and all included with strategies
What does it do:
- Depending where is located the initial close price relative to the grid (above, below, inside) it will buy for as many levels are above the price.
- It will disable a level that recently filled an order (in the way grids bot do)
- When the grid starts it will disable the closest grid level
- It places limit orders in the active levels and many levels can be filled in a single candle
- You can activate recalculate on each order filled, which will allow to fill further needed orders if the price swings up and down crossing multiple times multiple grid levels but I have found that doing this can compromise the accuracy of the price used on those levels (there are minor gaps between the filled price and the original level price)
How to use it:
- When you add this strategy to the chart you will be asked to select the top and bottom limits of the grid
- Notice you can always select the strategy in the chart and drag and drop the limits to adjust the grid
- Once the grid is in place, you can use either lower chart timeframes for higher accuracy of the stats, or higher timeframes if you want to privilege longer periods of testing
How to set the correct "initial capital"
In order to prevent getting wrong stats you need to make sure you are using the correct initial capital. If you put less than what you are actually using your results will be over inflated. If you set an initial capital below what the bot requires, your results will be smaller than they should.
- If you want to use exactly 100% of the capital for the grid use then first select what amount per level you want to use. Set this value in the settings of the indicator (if you are trading BTCUSD pair, how much BTC you want to use per level, 0.01 for example).
- Once you have set this value, then open the TradingView "Data Window" to be able to visualise the calculation of cash required to run the grid that the strategy is giving you. In our example with BTCUSD this value will be given in USD.
- Enter this amount in the "Properties" tab, "Initial Capital". If you enter the exact amount you will be using all for the grid usage.
- The grid first action will be to buy 0.01 for each level that is above the current price in the first candle of the chart. If there are no levels above it won't do any initial investment.
- The rest of the cash will be use to buy levels below if the price goes to the lower range of the grid later
Intention of this script
I built this script to help me understand better how grid bots work.
Understanding the flow of realised vs unrealised profits in a grid can help me understand why sometimes even if you are in red on unrealised profits, you can still compensate with realised profits and many other tricky scenarios with grids.
Sometimes I'm running a grid bot and would like to simulate how much better (or worst) it would have been to run it using different limits.
Future work and ideas
Initially I'm focusing on confirming that the grid behaves correctly and that the stats are as accurate as possible.
That is the first priority.
Once I feel more confident with the accuracy I will consider adding some of the following ideas (not in any particular order):
- Table with stats including: price of each level, times the level filled an order, times it was use for selling/buying, etc. Time it took to become in realised profit. Comparison against profits from buy & hold.
- Trailing TP/SL
- Entry/exit price
- Trading time window: only trade between the specified dates/times
- Alerts
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!

Zendog Backtest-DCA-Bot-3commasHi everyone,
This is a strategy that serves as a basic Backtester for 3commas DCA bots.
You can plugin your own studies into the Backtester, play around with their parameters as well with the DCA parameters and see how they can provide best result on historical data.
Features:
- Meaningful statistics that actually group orders under the same deal.
(base order + safety orders are the same deal, but Tradingview Strategy Tester shows them as separate trades)
See how many safety orders were used for each deal.
- Deal start condition: built in RSI-7 or external indicator
(main purpose of this strategy is to connect your own studies, so using external indicator is recommended)
- Base order and safety orders configs similar to 3commas
(order size, percent deviation, safety orders, percent scale and volume scale)
- Support for Long strategy for now (plan to add Short)
TTP Gavin's DCA BacktestPurpose:
The DCA Backtest script was designed to backtest the performance of any indicator using DCA bots.
"Open Deal ASAP" Deal Start Condition:
This script offers "open deal ASAP" deal start condition which will continuously open new deals. IT will wait for the current deal to close before opening a new one.
"Script" Deal Start Condition:
If you select the "Script" deal start condition we provide Bollinger Bands as an example. You can tweak the BB parameters from the indicator settings menu.
"Indicator" Deal Start Condition:
The third option is "Indicator". For this option to work you must have an indicator that plots a unique value that can be recognised as a BUY signal.
We recommend that your indicator plots 1 when it should buy and 0 when there's no signal.
Once you have in the same chart your indicator and your DCA backtest it's time to hook them up. For that follow these steps:
1) select "Indicator" as deal start condition
2) select your indicator from the list as "deal start source"
3) If you are following our recommendation then use 1 as "deal start value" so it can tell the DCA backtest when to open a deal. Make sure that your indicator only plots 0 or 1 so the DCA backtest can distinguish the BUY signal appropriately.
Limitations:
Each time you make changes and save your external indicator while you are backtesting, you will have to hook up the indicator again with the DCA backtest in the settings.
To avoid this, add as many parameters as you need to change in the external indicator so in that way you won't need to save changes to it and therefore will manage to avoid having to hook up the indicator with the DCA backtest.
Study Backtester [MS]Backtest your study like a strategy with our Study Backtester. Visualize your script's performance directly on the chart.

Version 1
Only supports buy-sell-buy-sell alternating signals. Any non-alternating signals will be ignored.
Testing begins with 1 share of the asset at your first buy signal.
Things To Note
This cannot enter or exit mid-candle. With the exception of the stop loss feature, which will calculate exits at the exact stop price.
Stops are not treated as stop-orders, but as market-exists at the stop (or trailing stop) price.
This DOES NOT take into account any loss of funds due to liquidation if price goes against you in a margin position.
Short positions are not currently supported.
Only `study` scripts are supported
How To Use
1) Add the following to the bottom your study's code.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// FOR BACKTESTER
plot(buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : na, title="Signals", display=display.none, editable=false)
2) Make sure `buy` and `sell` variables are assigned appropriately according to your strategy.
3) Add both your study and this script to your chart.
4) Set the "Signals Plot" setting of this script to: : Signals
5) Adjust this script's settings (start date, commission, stoploss, etc) as necessary.
