TradingView Alerts to MT4 MT5 - Forex, indices, commoditiesHowdy Algo-Traders! This example script has been created for educational purposes - to present how to use and automatically execute TradingView Alerts on real markets.
I'm posting this script today for a reason. TradingView has just released a new feature of the PineScript language - ALERT() function. Why is it important? It is finally possible to set alerts inside PineScript strategy-type script, without the need to convert the script into study-type. You may say triggering alerts straight from strategies was possible in PineScript before (since June 2020), but it had its limitations. Starting today you can attach alert to any custom event you might want to include in your PineScript code.
With the new feature, it is easier not only to execute strategies, but to maintain codebase - having to update 2 versions of the code with each single modification was... ahem... inconvenient. Moreover, the need to convert strategy into study also meant it was required to rip the code from all strategy...() calls, which carried a lot of useful information, like entry price, position size, and more, definitely influencing results calculated by strategy backtest. So the strategy without these features very likely produced different results than with them. While it was possible to convert these features into study with some advanced "coding gymnastics", it was also quite difficult to test whether those gymnastics didn't introduce serious, bankrupting bugs.
//////
How does this new feature work? It is really simple. On your custom events in the code like "GoLong" or "GoShort", create a string variable containing all the values you need inside your alert and this string variable will be your alert's message. Then, invoke brand new alert() function and that's it (see lines 67 onwards in the script). Set it up in CreateAlert popup and enjoy. Alerts will trigger on candle close as freq= parameter specifies. Detailed specification of the new alert() function can be found in TradingView's PineScript Reference (www.tradingview.com), but there's nothing more than message= and freq= parameters. Nothing else is needed, it is very simple. Yet powerful :)
//////
Alert syntax in this script is prepared to work with TradingConnector. Strategy here is not too complex, but also not the most basic one: it includes full exits, partial exits, stop-losses and it also utilizes dynamic variables calculated by the code (such as stop-loss price). This is only an example use case, because you could handle variety of other functionalities as well: conditional entries, pending entries, pyramiding, hedging, moving stop-loss to break-even, delivering alerts to multiple brokers and more.
//////
This script is a spin-off from my previous work, posted over a year ago here: Some comments on strategy parameters have been discussed there, but let me copy-paste most important points:
* Commission is taken into consideration.
* Slippage is intentionally left at 0. Due to shorter than 1 second delivery time of TradingConnector, slippage is practically non-existing.
* This strategy is NON-REPAINTING and uses NO TRAILING-STOP or any other feature known to be causing problems.
* The strategy was backtested on EURUSD 6h timeframe, will perform differently on other markets and timeframes.
Despite the fact this strategy seems to be still profitable, it is not guaranteed it will continue to perform well in the future. Remember the no.1 rule of backtesting - no matter how profitable and good looking a script is, it only tells about the past. There is zero guarantee the same strategy will get similar results in the future.
Full specs of TradingView alerts and how to set them up can be found here: www.tradingview.com
Simple Tops/Bottoms, [JackT]A percentage (pyramid) script for BTC/USD, Daily.
Breakdown
The script is following one simple rule:
- Percentage orders based on volume
This is a pyramid setup based on volume but I am handling each order manually which makes it a custom pyramid strategy.
Instead of doing 100% portfolio sell/buy orders this script focuses on the momentum of volume and calculates a percentage of the portfolio that should be traded.
The percentage rises with the level of continuous orders with the same type. This means that if a second sell order is emitted before any buy order the percentage to sell is gradually increased to be higher than the previous sell order. And vise verca with buy orders.
The calculation is exponential rising but it also makes sure that the trade rarely reaches 100%. This enables the script to stay in the market on almost all opportunties given by the indicators.
How to use
The script is created from 3 indicators including Lucid SAR which helps to indicate the major trend.
It is possible to change the settings of the script in order to change the outcome. The settings is fitted to work with BTC/USD and the same settings works somewhat okay with ETH/USD aswell. Though I would recommend to fit the settings to work better with other pairs.
As mentioned, the script focuses on volume , which mean that it works better with major coins.
Enjoy the script and please let me know your thoughts!

SMA Cross Entry & Exit StrategyThis is a TradingView Strategy Script meaning you can't execute real trades using your exchange API connected to your TradingView account, it is designed for backtesting only
This is a basic backtesting script for charting the bullish and bearish cross of two user defined simple moving averages, select the cog next to the name of the script ON the price chart in the left hand corner. The script will print to the screen either "Long Entry" or "Short Entry" depending on the direction of the cross. The script using TradingView strategies will subsequently close the opposite of the position that is executed when the bullish or bearish cross occurs. Simply put, if you are short and a bullish cross occurs, your short trade will close and be logged in strategies and the long will fire. You can pyramid the long and short positions to continue entering as long as the trend doesn't flip. You will find this in the script settings. Since this script is for backtesting you can manually set the "backtesting range" for TradingView Strategies and firing the "Long Entry" and "Short Entry". This as well, is in the settings.
Notice: When the SMA cross occurs, you have to wait till the next candle before TradingView Strategy will print the "Long Entry" or "Short Entry" to the screen

Hull Trend & Kahlman Strategy Backtesthere is a description of the script. this is a test and it's not my script.
Trend Following Scalper 3 Time FramseDo you think it is a good idea to use the Stochastic / MACD / EMA and cross check THREE timeframes to detect a new trend?
If you think that it would be a good idea, this is the script that you are looking for.
The Trend Following Scalper (3 Time Frames) script has been developed to automate the trading activity by detecting a new trend and by scalping a fixed amount of pips each trade. That is why it is called Trend Following Scalper.
How does the script detect the new trend?
The beginning of the new trend is detected on the lower timeframe (1H is the suggested one) by joining the information of the Stochastic, MACD and Exponential Moving Average.
Once a potential trade has been detected on lower timeframe, the script confirms it by looking the upper timeframe (e.g. Daily + H4) by gathering the same indicator / parameter information.
If the threes timeframes are moving in the same direction, the script open a new trade.
Why do we need to merge lower and higher timeframe before open the trade?
The lower timeframe shows a shorter Price Action context. The short price action context has a short life! By looking at the higher time frames context the script tries to exclude the short life counter-trend moves. At the end, a new trade is open only if the higher timeframe context supports the lower timeframe indication.
What about the Risk-Reward (following RR) ratio?
The RR is set by default as 1.6 (stop loss 25 pips and take profit 40 pips).
This configuration has been heavily tested on multiple crosses and it has shown a good Equity Line with a low Drawdown.
(Note: the stop loss and take profit can be changed by the user via the parameter pages. Suggest RR > 1.5)
What about the accuracy of the Script?
The average script accuracy is > 55% on the H1 time frame (tested with various crosses).
With this accuracy, and by risking 0.6% of the capital each trade, your capital will grow > 25% every 100 trades.
What about the drawdown?
It depends on the capital and the size of the position used on each trade.
For example, with an initial capital of 1000 Euros and by risking 0.6% of the capital each trade, the drawdown is close to 3%.
(The strategy tester result has been calculated starting from January 2017. The strategy produced 527E (i.e. 52% gain) starting from a 1000E capital and risking 0.5% each trade)

Trend Following Scalper 2 Time FramesDo you think it is a good idea to use the Stochastic / MACD / EMA and cross check TWO timeframes to detect a new trend?
If you think that it would be a good idea, this is the script that you are looking for.
The Trend Following Scalper (2 Time Frames) script has been developed to automate the trading activity by detecting a new trend and by scalping a fixed amount of pips each trade. That is why it is called Trend Following Scalper.
How does the script detect the new trend?
The beginning of the new trend is detected on the lower timeframe (4H is the suggested one) by joining the information of the Stochastic, MACD and Exponential Moving Average.
Once a potential trade has been detected on lower timeframe, the script confirms it by looking the upper timeframe (e.g. Daily) by gathering the same indicator / parameter information.
If both timeframes are moving in the same direction, the script open a new trade.
Why do we need to merge lower and higher timeframe before open the trade?
The lower timeframe shows a shorter Price Action context. The short price action context has a short life! By looking at the higher time frame context the script tries to exclude the short life counter-trend moves. At the end, a new trade is open only if the higher timeframe context supports the lower timeframe indication.
What about the Risk-Reward (following RR) ratio?
The RR is set by default as 1.6 (stop loss 25 pips and take profit 40 pips).
This configuration has been heavily tested on multiple crosses and it has shown a good Equity Line with a low Drawdown.
(Note: the stop loss and take profit can be changed by the user via the parameter pages. Suggest RR > 1.5)
What about the accuracy of the Script?
The average script accuracy is > 45% (tested with various crosses).
With this accuracy, and by risking 0.6% of the capital each trade, your capital will grow > 10% every 100 trades.
What about the drawdown?
It depends on the capital and the size of the position used on each trade.
For example, with an initial capital of 1000 Euros and by risking 0.5% of the capital each trade, the drawdown is close to 6%.

Energy Advanced Policy StrategyThis trading strategy emphasizes both technical trading as well as sentiment trading. Using news and government policy decisions, it can determine either positive or negative sentiment in the energy sector.
How the Strategy Works
This strategy has two main parts that work together to find good trades:
1. The "Policy & Sentiment Engine "
Policy Event Detection : The script spots potential big news or policy changes by looking for big, sudden price moves and huge trading volume. You can play with the Policy Event Volume Threshold and Policy Event Price Threshold (%) settings to make it more or less sensitive.
Sentiment Score : When the script finds a positive or negative event, it adds to a sentiment score. This score isn't forever, though; it fades over time, so the newest events matter the most.
Manual Override : The Manual News Sentiment setting lets you tell the script exactly what the market's mood is for a set time, which is perfect for when you already know about a big upcoming announcement.
The strategy only looks for a trade if the overall feeling is bullish enough. This makes sure you're trading with the big, fundamental forces of the market, not against them.
2. Technical Confirmation & Precision
After the policy and sentiment part gives a green light, the strategy uses a variety of technical indicators to confirm the trend and ideal entry positions.
Long-Term Trend : The script makes sure the market is in a strong uptrend by checking if the fast and medium-speed moving averages are going up, and if the price is above a long-term moving average.
Momentum : The MACD is used to make sure the price's upward momentum is getting stronger, not weaker.
Oscillator : It also uses the RSI to check if the market has gone up too much, too fast, which could mean it's about to turn around.
How to Use the Script
You can customize this strategy to fit your trading style and how much risk you're comfortable with. The inputs are grouped into logical sections for easy adjustment.
News & Policy Analysis : You can play with the Policy Event thresholds to make the script more or less sensitive to market shocks. And you can always use the Manual News Sentiment to take over when you're watching a specific news event.
Technical Analysis : Feel free to change the settings for things like the moving averages, RSI, and MACD to match what you like to trade and on what timeframe.

Box Chart Overlay StrategyExploring the Box Chart Overlay Strategy with RSI & Bollinger Confirmation
The “Box Chart Overlay Strategy by BD” is a sophisticated TradingView strategy script written in Pine Script (version 5). It combines a box charting method with two widely used technical indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands—to generate trade entries. In this article, we break down the strategy’s components, its logic, and how it visually represents trading signals on the chart.
1. Strategy Setup and User Inputs
Strategy Declaration
At the top of the script, the strategy is declared with key parameters:
Overlay: The indicator is plotted directly on the price chart.
Initial Capital & Position Sizing: It uses a simulated trading account with an initial capital of 10,000 and positions sized as a percentage of equity (10% by default).
Commission: A commission of 0.1% is factored into trades.
Input Parameters
The strategy is highly customizable. Users can adjust various inputs such as:
Box Settings:
Box Size (RSboxSize): Defines the size of each price “box.”
Box Options: Choose from three modes:
Standard: Boxes are calculated continuously from the start of the chart.
Anchored: The first box is fixed at a specified time and price.
Daily Reset: The boxes reset each day based on a defined session time.
Color Customizations:
Options to customize the appearance of boxes, borders, labels, and even repainting the candles based on the current price’s relation to box levels.
RSI Settings:
Length, overbought, and oversold levels are set to filter trades.
Bollinger Bands Settings:
Users can set the length of the moving average and the multiplier for standard deviation, which will be used to compute the upper and lower bands.
2. The Box Chart Mechanism
Box Construction
The core idea of a box chart is to group price movement into discrete blocks—or boxes—of a fixed size. In this strategy:
Standard Mode:
The script calculates boxes starting at a rounded price level. When the price moves sufficiently above or below the current box’s boundaries, a new box is drawn.
Anchored and Daily Reset Modes:
These modes allow traders to control where the box calculations begin or to reset them during a specific intraday session.
Visual Elements
Several custom functions handle the visual components:
drawBoxUp() and drawBoxDn():
These functions create boxes in bullish or bearish directions respectively, based on whether the price has exceeded the current box’s high or low.
drawLines() and drawLabels():
Lines are drawn to extend the current box levels, and labels are updated to display key levels or the “remainder” (the difference needed to trigger a new box).
Projected Boxes:
A “projected” box is drawn to indicate potential upcoming box levels, providing an additional visual cue about the price action.
3. Integrating RSI and Bollinger Bands for Trade Confirmation
RSI Integration
The strategy computes the RSI using a user-defined length. It then uses the following conditions to validate entries:
Long Trades (Box Up):
The strategy waits for the RSI to be at or below the oversold level before considering a long entry.
Short Trades (Box Down):
It requires the RSI to be at or above the overbought level before triggering a short entry.
Bollinger Bands Confirmation
In addition to the RSI filter:
For Long Entries:
The price must be at or below the lower Bollinger Band.
For Short Entries:
The price must be at or above the upper Bollinger Band.
By combining these filters with the box breakout logic, the strategy aims to enhance the quality of its trade signals.
4. Dynamic Trade Entries and Alerts
Box Logic and Entry Functions
Two key functions—BoxUpFunc() and BoxDownFunc()—handle the creation of new boxes and also check if trade conditions are met:
When a new box is drawn, the script evaluates if the RSI and Bollinger conditions align.
If conditions are satisfied, the script places an entry order:
Long Entry: Initiated when the price moves upward, RSI indicates oversold, and the price touches or falls below the lower Bollinger Band.
Short Entry: Triggered when the price falls downward, RSI signals overbought, and the price touches or exceeds the upper Bollinger Band.
Alerts
Built-in alert functions notify traders when a new box level is reached. Users can set custom alert messages to ensure they are aware of potential trade opportunities as soon as the conditions are met.
5. Visual Enhancements and Candle Repainting
The script also includes options for repainting candles based on their relation to the current box’s boundaries:
Above, Below, or Within the Box:
Candles are color-coded using user-defined colors, making it easier to visually assess where the price is in relation to the box levels.
Labels and Lines:
These continuously update to reflect current levels and provide an immediate visual reference for potential breakout points.
Conclusion
The Box Chart Overlay Strategy by BD is a multi-faceted approach that marries the traditional box chart technique with modern technical indicators—RSI and Bollinger Bands—to refine entry signals. By offering various customization options for box creation, visual styling, and confirmation criteria, the strategy allows traders to adapt it to different market conditions and personal trading styles. Whether you prefer a continuously running “Standard” mode or a more controlled “Anchored” or “Daily Reset” approach, this strategy provides a robust framework for integrating price action with momentum and volatility measures.
ROBO STB GainCraft strategyPure Price Action Candlestick Strategy by ROBO STB
Overview
This strategy is built entirely on the principles of price action and candlestick analysis, designed for traders who prefer raw market data over traditional indicators. By focusing solely on candlestick patterns and their context within recent price movements, the strategy identifies high-probability entry and exit points in liquid markets.
Entry signals are generated based on these patterns appearing at significant market locations, such as after consolidations, pullbacks, or at key support/resistance levels.
Price Action Integration:
Instead of relying on oscillators or moving averages, the script leverages the inherent market structure provided by candlesticks to interpret potential trend reversals or continuations.
This approach provides a clearer view of market sentiment.
No External Indicators:
This script avoids the use of traditional indicators like RSI, MACD, or Bollinger Bands, offering a clean, uncluttered chart.
Risk Management (Optional):
Fixed-percentage risk management options can also be enabled, ensuring trades remain within acceptable risk parameters.
How the Strategy Works
Entry Conditions:
Buy Entry: A bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., bullish engulfing) forms after a period of consolidation or pullback, indicating potential upward momentum.
Sell Entry: A bearish candlestick pattern (e.g., bearish engulfing) suggests a downturn is likely.
Exit Conditions:
Exits are triggered by the appearance of reversal candlestick patterns or through predefined SL/TP levels.
The strategy adapts to varying market conditions by analyzing candlestick structures dynamically.
Ideal Use Cases
Short-Term Trading: Designed for day traders and scalpers targeting quick moves on shorter timeframes.
Highly Liquid Markets: Performs best in markets with high liquidity, such as Nifty, Bank Nifty, or major forex pairs, where candlestick patterns provide reliable signals.
30-Minute Timeframe: For optimal results, the strategy is recommended for use on a 30-minute timeframe.
Transparency and Realism
Backtesting Parameters:
The default backtesting settings simulate realistic trading conditions, including commissions and slippage, ensuring that results are not misleading.
Trade sizes are calibrated to risk sustainable amounts (.05% maximum equity per trade).
Dataset Selection:
This strategy has been tested on diverse datasets to produce a statistically significant number of trades, ensuring robust performance evaluation.
Why This Strategy is Unique
This script stands apart by offering a refined approach to price action trading. Unlike generic indicator mashups, it provides traders with an actionable, candlestick-focused methodology tailored for volatile, high-liquidity markets.
The strategy is both simple to understand and powerful in execution, making it an excellent tool for traders who want to develop their skills in raw price action analysis while maintaining strict risk management.
Key Features
Candlestick-Based Entry and Exit Signals:
1. Risk Management:
- Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR):
Set a customizable risk-to-reward ratio to calculate target prices based on stop-loss levels.
Default: 3:1
order size added -100
2. Opening Range Identification
- Opening Range High and Low:
The script detects the high and low of the first trading session using Pine Script's session functions.
These levels are plotted as visual guides on the chart:
- High: Lime-colored circles.
- Low: Red-colored circles.
3. Trade Entry Logic
- Long Entry:
A long trade is triggered when the price closes above the opening range high.
- Entry condition: Crossover of the price above the opening range high.
-Short Entry:
A short trade is triggered when the price closes below the opening range low.
- Entry condition: Crossunder of the price below the opening range low.
Both entries are conditional on the absence of an existing position.
4. Stop Loss and Take Profit
- Long Position:
- Stop Loss: Previous candle's low.
- Take Profit: Calculated based on the RTR.
- **Short Position:**
- **Stop Loss:** Previous candle's high.
- **Take Profit:** Calculated based on the RTR.
The strategy plots these levels for visual reference:
- Stop Loss: Red dashed lines.
- Take Profit: Green dashed lines.
5. Visual Enhancements
-Trade Level Highlighting:
The script dynamically shades the areas between the entry price and SL/TP levels:
- Red shading for the stop-loss region.
- Green shading for the take-profit region.
How to Use:
1.Input Configuration:
Adjust the Risk-to-Reward ratio, max trades per day, and session end time to suit your trading preferences.
2.Visual Cues:
Use the opening range high/low lines and shading to identify potential breakout opportunities.
3.Execution:
The strategy will automatically enter and exit trades based on the conditions. Review the plotted SL and TP levels to monitor the risk-reward setup.
Important Notes:
- This strategy is designed for intraday trading and works best in markets with high volatility during the opening session.
- Backtest the strategy on your preferred market and timeframe to ensure compatibility.
- Proper risk management and position sizing are essential when using this strategy in live markets.

Honest Volatility Grid [Honestcowboy]The Honest Volatility Grid is an attempt at creating a robust grid trading strategy but without standard levels.
Normal grid systems use price levels like 1.01;1.02;1.03;1.04... and place an order at each of these levels. In this program instead we create a grid using keltner channels using a long term moving average.
🟦 IS THIS EVEN USEFUL?
The idea is to have a more fluid style of trading where levels expand and follow price and do not stick to precreated levels. This however also makes each closed trade different instead of using fixed take profit levels. In this strategy a take profit level can even be a loss. It is useful as a strategy because it works in a different way than most strategies, making it a good tool to diversify a portfolio of trading strategies.
🟦 STRATEGY
There are 10 levels below the moving average and 10 above the moving average. For each side of the moving average the strategy uses 1 to 3 orders maximum (3 shorts at top, 3 longs at bottom). For instance you buy at level 2 below moving average and you increase position size when level 6 is reached (a cheaper price) in order to spread risks.
By default the strategy exits all trades when the moving average is reached, this makes it a mean reversion strategy. It is specifically designed for the forex market as these in my experience exhibit a lot of ranging behaviour on all the timeframes below daily.
There is also a stop loss at the outer band by default, in case price moves too far from the mean.
What are the risks?
In case price decides to stay below the moving average and never reaches the outer band one trade can create a very substantial loss, as the bands will keep following price and are not at a fixed level.
Explanation of default parameters
By default the strategy uses a starting capital of 25000$, this is realistic for retail traders.
Lot sizes at each level are set to minimum lot size 0.01, there is no reason for the default to be risky, if you want to risk more or increase equity curve increase the number at your own risk.
Slippage set to 20 points: that's a normal 2 pip slippage you will find on brokers.
Fill limit assumtion 20 points: so it takes 2 pips to confirm a fill, normal forex spread.
Commission is set to 0.00005 per contract: this means that for each contract traded there is a 5$ or whatever base currency pair has as commission. The number is set to 0.00005 because pinescript does not know that 1 contract is 100000 units. So we divide the number by 100000 to get a realistic commission.
The script will also multiply lot size by 100000 because pinescript does not know that lots are 100000 units in forex.
Extra safety limit
Normally the script uses strategy.exit() to exit trades at TP or SL. But because these are created 1 bar after a limit or stop order is filled in pinescript. There are strategy.orders set at the outer boundaries of the script to hedge against that risk. These get deleted bar after the first order is filled. Purely to counteract news bars or huge spikes in price messing up backtest.
🟦 VISUAL GOODIES
I've added a market profile feature to the edge of the grid. This so you can see in which grid zone market has been the most over X bars in the past. Some traders may wish to only turn on the strategy whenever the market profile displays specific characteristics (ranging market for instance).
These simply count how many times a high, low, or close price has been in each zone for X bars in the past. it's these purple boxes at the right side of the chart.
🟦 Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in lot sizes or % for alerts and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
Equilibrium Candles + Pattern [Honestcowboy]The Equilibrium Candles is a very simple trend continuation or reversal strategy depending on your settings.
How an Equilibrium Candle is created:
We calculate the equilibrium by measuring the mid point between highest and lowest point over X amount of bars back.
This now is the opening price for each bar and will be considered a green bar if price closes above equilibrium.
Bars get shaded by checking if regular candle close is higher than open etc. So you still see what the normal candles are doing.
Why are they useful?
The equilibrium is calculated the same as Baseline in Ichimoku Cloud. Which provides a point where price is very likely to retrace to. This script visualises the distance between close and equilibrium using candles. To provide a clear visual of how price relates to this equilibrium point.
This also makes it more straightforward to develop strategies based on this simple concept and makes the trader purely focus on this relationship and not think of any Ichimoku Cloud theories.
Script uses a very simple pattern to enter trades:
It will count how many candles have been one directional (above or below equilibrium)
Based on user input after X candles (7 by default) script shows we are in a trend (bg colors)
On the first pullback (candle closes on other side of equilibrium) it will look to enter a trade.
Places a stop order at the high of the candle if bullish trend or reverse if bearish trend.
If based on user input after X opposite candles (2 by default) order is not filled will cancel it and look for a new trend.
Use Reverse Logic:
There is a use reverse logic in the settings which on default is turned on. It will turn long orders into short orders making the stop orders become limit orders. It will use the normal long SL as target for the short. And TP as stop for the short. This to provide a means to reverse equity curve in case your pair is mean reverting by nature instead of trending.
ATR Calculation:
Averaged ATR, which is using ta.percentile_nearest_rank of 60% of a normal ATR (14 period) over the last 200 bars. This in simple words finds a value slightly above the mean ATR value over that period.
Big Candle Exit Logic:
Using Averaged ATR the script will check if a candle closes X times that ATR from the equilibrium point. This is then considered an overextension and all trades are closed.
This is also based on user input.
Simple trade management logic:
Checks if the user has selected to use TP and SL, or/and big candle exit.
Places a TP and SL based on averaged ATR at a multiplier based on user Input.
Closes trade if there is a Big Candle Exit or an opposite direction signal from indicator.
Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in % and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
There is also a simple buy and sell alert feature if you don't want to fully automate but still get alerts. These are available in the dropdown when creating an alert.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
The backtest uses a 4% exposure per trade and a 10 point slippage. I did not include a commission cause I'm not personaly aware what the commissions are on most forex brokers. I'm only aware of minimal slippage to use in a backtest. Trading conditions vary per broker you use so always pay close attention to trading costs on your own broker. Use a full automation at your own risk and discretion and do proper backtesting.
High Yield Spread Strategy with SMA FilterThis Pine Script strategy is designed for statistical analysis and research purposes only, not for live trading or financial decision-making. The script evaluates the relationship between financial volatility (measured by either the VIX or the High Yield Spread) and market positioning strategies (long or short) based on user-defined conditions. Specifically, it allows users to test the assumption that elevated levels of VIX or the High Yield Spread may justify short positions in the market—a widely held belief in financial circles—but this script demonstrates that shorting is not always the optimal choice, even under these conditions.
Key Components:
1. High Yield Spread and VIX:
• High Yield Spread is the difference between the yields of corporate high-yield (or “junk”) bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. A rising spread often reflects increased market risk perception.
• VIX (Volatility Index) is often referred to as the market’s “fear gauge.” Higher VIX levels usually indicate heightened market uncertainty or expected volatility.
2. Strategy Logic:
• The script allows users to specify a threshold for the VIX or High Yield Spread, and it automatically evaluates if the spread exceeds this level, which traditionally would suggest an environment for higher market risk and thus potentially favoring short trades.
• However, the strategy provides flexibility to enter long or short positions, even in a high-risk environment, emphasizing that a high VIX or High Yield Spread does not always warrant shorting.
3. SMA Filter:
• A Simple Moving Average (SMA) filter can be applied to the price data, where positions are only entered if the price is above or below the SMA (depending on the trade direction). This adds a technical component to the strategy, incorporating price trends into decision-making.
4. Hold Duration:
• The script also allows users to define how long to hold a position after entering, enabling an analysis of different timeframes.
Theoretical Background:
The traditional belief that high VIX or High Yield Spreads favor short positions is not universally supported by research. While a spike in the VIX or credit spreads is often associated with increased market risk, research suggests that excessive volatility does not always lead to negative returns. In fact, high volatility can sometimes signal an approaching market rebound.
For example:
• Studies have shown that long-term investments during periods of heightened volatility can yield favorable returns due to mean reversion. Whaley (2000) notes that VIX spikes are often followed by market recoveries as volatility tends to revert to its mean over time .
• Research by Blitz and Vliet (2007) highlights that low-volatility stocks have historically outperformed high-volatility stocks, suggesting that volatility may not always predict negative returns .
• Furthermore, credit spreads can widen in response to broader market stress, but these may overshoot the actual credit risk, presenting opportunities for long positions when spreads are high and risk premiums are mispriced .
Educational Purpose:
The goal of this script is to challenge assumptions about shorting during volatile periods, showing that long positions can be equally, if not more, effective during market stress. By incorporating an SMA filter and customizable logic for entering trades, users can test different hypotheses regarding the effectiveness of both long and short positions under varying market conditions.
Note: This strategy is not intended for live trading and should be used solely for educational and statistical exploration. Misinterpreting financial indicators can lead to incorrect investment decisions, and it is crucial to conduct comprehensive research before trading.

market slayerInput Parameters:
Various input parameters allow customization of the strategy, including options to show trend confirmation, specify trend timeframes and values, set SMA lengths, enable take profit and stop loss, and define their respective values.
Calculations:
Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) are calculated based on the specified lengths.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossover and crossunder of the short and long SMAs.
Confirmation Bars:
Functions are defined to determine bullish or bearish confirmation bars based on certain conditions.
These confirmation bars are used to confirm trend direction and generate additional signals.
Plotting:
SMAs are plotted on the chart.
Trend labels and signal markers are plotted based on the calculated conditions.
Trade Signals:
Buy and sell conditions are defined based on the crossover/crossunder of SMAs and confirmation of trend direction.
Strategy entries and exits are executed accordingly.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
Optional take profit and stop loss functionality is included.
Trades are automatically closed when profit or loss thresholds are reached.
Closing Trades:
Trades are also closed based on changes in trend confirmation bars to ensure alignment with the overall market direction.
Alerts:
Alert conditions are defined for opening and closing trades, providing notifications when certain conditions are met.
Overall, this script aims to provide a systematic approach to trading by combining moving average crossovers with trend confirmation bars, along with options for risk management through take profit and stop loss orders. Users can customize various parameters to adapt the strategy to different market conditions and trading preferences.
The script uses the request.security() function with the lookahead parameter set to barmerge.lookahead_on to access data from a higher timeframe within the Pine Script on TradingView. Let's break down why it's used:
Higher Timeframe Analysis:
By default, Pine Script operates on the timeframe of the chart it's applied to. However, in trading strategies, it's common to incorporate signals or data from higher timeframes to confirm or validate signals generated on lower timeframes. This helps traders to align their trades with the broader market trend.
Trend Confirmation:
In this script, the confirmationTrendTimeframe parameter allows users to specify a higher timeframe for trend confirmation. The request.security() function fetches the data from this higher timeframe and applies the defined conditions to confirm the trend direction.
Lookahead Behavior:
The lookahead parameter set to barmerge.lookahead_on ensures that the script considers the most up-to-date information available on the higher timeframe when making trading decisions on the lower timeframe. This prevents the script from lagging behind or using outdated data, enhancing the accuracy of trend confirmation.
Usage in confirmationTrendBullish and confirmationTrendBearish:
These variables are assigned the values returned by the request.security() function, which represents the bullish or bearish trend confirmation based on the conditions applied to the data from the higher timeframe.
Kyrie Crossover ( @zaytradellc )Unlocking Market Dynamics: Kyrie Crossover Script by @zaytradellc
personalized trading success with the "Kyrie Crossover" script, meticulously crafted by @zaytrade. This innovative Pine Script, tailored to the birthdays of Kyrie and the script creator, combines the power of technical analysis with a touch of personalization to revolutionize your trading experience.
**Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Crossover Strategy:**
At the heart of the "Kyrie Crossover" script lies a sophisticated EMA crossover strategy. By utilizing a 10-period EMA and a 323-period EMA (symbolizing long term price action ), the strategy effectively captures market trends with precision and insight.
- **Short-Term EMA (10-period):** This EMA reacts swiftly to recent price changes, offering heightened sensitivity to short-term fluctuations. It excels in identifying immediate shifts in market sentiment, making it invaluable for pinpointing short-lived trends and potential reversal points.
- **Long-Term EMA (323-period):** In contrast, the long-term EMA provides a broader perspective by smoothing out short-term noise and focusing on longer-term trend direction. Its extended length filters out market noise effectively, providing a clear representation of the underlying trend's momentum and sustainability.
**Directional Movement Index (DMI) Metrics:**
The "Kyrie Crossover" script goes beyond traditional indicators by incorporating DMI metrics across multiple timeframes. By assessing trend strength and direction, traders gain valuable insights into market dynamics, allowing for informed decision-making.
**Simple Instructions to Profit:**
1. **Identify EMA Crossovers:** Look for instances where the short-term EMA (10-period) crosses above the long-term EMA (323-period) for a bullish signal, indicating a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, a crossover where the short-term EMA crosses below the long-term EMA signals a bearish trend and a potential selling opportunity.
2. **Confirm with DMI Metrics:** Validate EMA crossovers by checking DMI metrics across different timeframes (5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour). Pay attention to color-coded indicators, with green indicating a bullish trend, red indicating a bearish trend, and white indicating no clear trend.
3. **Manage Risk:** Implement proper risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders and position sizing based on your risk tolerance and trading objectives.
4. **Stay Informed:** Regularly monitor market conditions and adjust your trading strategy accordingly based on new signals and emerging trends.
CULTURATRADING STRATEGYThe "CULTURATRADING STRATEGY" is designed to capitalize on market trends by incorporating a combination of technical indicators that signal potential entry and exit points for trades on various assets. This strategy is not just a mere collection of indicators but a well-thought-out approach that synergizes different market signals to optimize trade decisions.
The script uses the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) to gauge momentum and trend direction, with the slope of the MACD line serving as a trigger for market entries. A positive slope suggests an upward trend and potential long entry, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend and a possible short entry.
In tandem with the MACD, the ADX (Average Directional Index) is utilized to measure the strength of the trend. An ADX value above 25 signifies a strong trend, which, when aligned with MACD signals, can validate the trade entries.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is another critical component, identifying overbought and oversold conditions. This strategy looks for crossovers above and below key levels (60 for overbought, 40 for oversold) to determine high-probability turning points in the market. The inclusion of a 20-period SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the RSI adds a layer to filter the signals further, allowing for the refinement of entry and exit points.
The script employs a dynamic stop-loss system, set at the lowest low of the past 20 bars for long positions and the highest high for shorts, to manage risk effectively. The strategy is configured for a $10,000 account, risking a reasonable portion of capital per trade, with a pyramid effect to allow for diversified entries from various signals. The backtesting results are based on a 5% capital allocation per trade and include a 0.08% commission. To ensure accurate backtesting, the script includes an additional percentage to account for slippage within the commission.
To provide a comprehensive understanding, the script also outputs a "volatility histogram" based on the ADX, offering insights into market volatility and helping to time the trades better.
This strategy has been backtested across different timeframes and assets, showing resilience in various market conditions. It is essential to check the 'recalculate after order filled' option due to the dynamic nature of stop-loss orders.
This script is paired with the "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR" for enhanced signal clarity, providing a holistic view of the strategy's performance. Please note that this script is for educational purposes and should not be taken as financial advice.
The "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR" is an essential tool that works in conjunction with the "CULTURATRADING STRATEGY" to provide traders with a clear visualization of the market's conditions. It enhances the strategy by offering visual cues that help interpret complex market data more intuitively.
The indicator displays key RSI levels, such as 60 for overbought conditions and 40 for oversold conditions, with a mid-level at 55 to indicate when a trend may be weakening. The colors on the RSI line change to reflect these conditions, offering a quick reference for traders: a blue color signifies an RSI above 60, indicating overbought conditions; a red color shows an RSI below 40, pointing to oversold conditions; and white represents values in between, suggesting a neutral state.
Moreover, the volatility histogram, which is part of the "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR," provides a visual representation of market volatility. The histogram changes colors based on the ADX value and the slope of the MACD line. For instance, a green histogram suggests a positive MACD slope during a strong trend, indicating potential bullish momentum. Conversely, a red histogram implies a negative MACD slope during strong trends, hinting at bearish momentum. A grey color might be used to represent periods when the trend is weak or the market is less volatile.
Together, these visual elements of the "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR" complement the strategy's signals, providing traders with an at-a-glance summary of the current market scenario, which can be particularly useful when managing multiple trades or assessing opportunities quickly.
Please remember, this script and its associated indicator are designed to serve as educational tools to assist in understanding market dynamics and are not intended as financial advice. Always conduct your own research and consider consulting a financial advisor for personalized guidance.
SOFEX Strong Volatility Trend Follower + BacktestingWhat is the SOFEX Strong Volatility Trend Follower + Backtesting script?
🔬 Trading Philosophy
This script is trend-following, attempting to avoid choppy markets.
It has been developed for Bitcoin and Ethereum trading, on 1H timeframe.
The strategy does not aim to make a lot of trades, or to always remain in a position and switch from long to short. Many times there is no direction and the market is in "random walk mode", and chasing trades is futile.
Expectations of performance should be realistic.
The script focuses on a balanced take-profit to stop-loss ratio. In the default set-up of the script, that is a 2% : 2% (1:1) ratio. A relatively low stop loss and take profit build onto the idea that positions should be exited promptly. There are many options to edit these values, including enabling trailing take profit and stop loss. Traders can also completely turn off TP and SL levels, and rely on opposing signals to exit and enter new trades.
Extreme scenarios can happen on the cryptocurrency markets, and disabling stop-loss levels completely is not recommended. The position size should be monitored since all of it is at risk with no stop-loss.
⚙️ Logic of the indicator
The Strong Volatility Trend Follower indicator aims at evading ranging market conditions. It does not seek to chase volatile, yet choppy markets. It aims at aggressively following confirmed trends. The indicator works best during strong, volatile trends, however, it has the downside of entering trades at trend tops or bottoms.
This indicator also leverages proprietary adaptive moving averages to identify and follow strong trend volatility effectively. Furthermore, it uses the Average Directional Index, Awesome Oscillator, ATR and a modified version of VWAP, to categorize trends into weak or strong ones. The VWAP indicator is used to identify the monetary (volume) inflow into a given trend, further helping to avoid short-term manipulations. It also helps to distinguish choppy-market volatility with a trending market one.
📟 Parameters Menu
The script has a comprehensive parameter menu:
Preset Selection : Choose between Bitcoin or Ethereum presets to tailor the indicator to your preferred cryptocurrency market.
Indicator Sensitivity Parameter : Adjust the sensitivity to adapt the indicator, particularly to make it seek higher-strength trends.
Indicator Signal Direction : Set the signal direction as Long, Short, or Both, depending on your preference.
Exit of Signals : You have options regarding Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels. Enable TP/SL levels to exit trades at predetermined levels, or disable them to rely on direction changes for exits. Be aware that removing stop losses can introduce additional risk, and position sizing should be carefully monitored.
By enabling Trailing TP/SL, the system switches to a trailing approach, allowing you to:
- Place an initial customizable SL.
- Specify a level (%) for the Trailing SL to become active.
- When the activation level is reached, the system moves the trailing stop by a given Offset (%).
Additionally, you can enable exit at break-even, where the system places an exit order when the trail activation level is reached, accounting for fees and slippage.
Alert Messages : Define the fields for alert messages based on specific conditions. You can set up alerts to receive email, SMS, and in-app notifications. If you use webhooks for alerts, exercise caution, as these alerts can potentially execute trades without human supervision.
Backtesting : Default backtesting parameters are set to provide realistic backtesting performance:
- 0.04% Commission per trade (for both entries and exits)
- 3 ticks Slippage (highly dependent on exchange)
- Initial capital of $1000
- Order size of $1000
While the order size is equal to the initial capital, the script employs a 2% stop-loss order to limit losses and attempts to prevent risky trades from creating big losses. The order size is a set dollar value, so that the backtesting performance is linear, instead of using % of capital which may result in unrealistic backtesting performance.
Risk Disclaimer
Please be aware that backtesting results, while valuable for statistical overview, do not guarantee future performance in any way. Cryptocurrency markets are inherently volatile and risky. Always trade responsibly and do not risk more than you can afford to lose.
METRIC-TREND-TRADERThis script is a Fully Automated trading script meant to be used with "Oanda" broker and the plug-ins for algorithmic trading automation.( FOREX ONLY)
This script is meant to capture "TREND FOLLOWING " for intraday charts (1hour) preferably and will hold for days / weeks .trading on forex markets.
(The combination of indicators includes a short high and low price channel and a longer term high and low price channel)
This script is original in description as being automated to try and capture dynamic trending markets with both long and short fractal price channels. although trend trading is not an original concept. trend trading with this dynamic indicator allows the user visualize both short term and longer term price action at the same time, helping to make better trading decisions. the channels are designed to buy breakouts in the direction of the longer term trend while trailing stop a built-in stop loss that allows normal market movement while attempting to lock in flexible profits.
The concept of this indicator is be able to quickly visualize trends by high lighting the large green areas beneath price "when trending long" which is the difference between the (user defined) short term lows and the (user defined) Long period price lows.
For "down trending" markets a large red area above price will be displayed and this is the difference between the (user defined) short term highs and the (user defined) long term highs.
This strategy uses a lower than reward profile to jump in direction of market moves for continuation,
(1 risk to 4 reward)
in the likelihood the instrument will continue (example) 200 pips before it reverts 50 pips in the counter direction.
This strategy should only be used in markets that you believe are "TRENDING" at the time of trading otherwise you risk trend trading a range market.
This script uses a (user defined period) of short term high and low price ( green/red color) and (user defined period) Long Term high and low price (green/red) chosen in the indicator settings menu.
The default parameters are 10 with a (minimum of 1 and maximum of 10000) for the short term channel and 50 with a (minimum of 1 and maximum of 10000) for the long term price channel , the default parameters = roughly 2 days "long term" and 10 hours "short term" of price action on the (1 hour) chart.
Strategy entries and exits , for Long trades the trade will be entered if the short term high crosses above the Long Term high and the Short term low is not equal to the Long term low . the trade will exit if profit or stop loss are hit or if the Short term low crosses under the long term low.
For Short trades the trade will enter short if , the short term low crosses under the long term low and the short term high is not equal to the long term high. the trade will exit if profit or stop loss are hit or the short term high crosses over the long term high
"The default parameters should be kept unless you fully understand the complete strategy"
There are two very important inputs to be selected at the user setting menu "Long Only " and "Short Only" if you are looking to place long trades only select "Long Only" or for short trades select " Short Only" it is not recommended to keep both selected as it will trade both sides!
When the trade is entered a red , a blue and green horizontal dotted line will appear on the chart.
the blue line is the strategy entry price , the red line is the stop loss price , and the green line is the take profit price . the colors will invert if the trade is long or short.
(Setting alerts should be done in the indicator settings menu, and the parameters you chose will determine the stop loss/target and the amount of "units = (position size)" you wish to trade for the (forex only) markets. using "alert() function calls only" is the only alert that should be used with this strategy.
(note : when "alert() function calls only" is set two messages will be sent, one closing any open position in the opposite direction and one placing the new order regardless if you are currently in a trade or not)
Trade targets , stoploss and trade position size are a user defined variables entered in the indicator settings menu. (target pips minimum 0 and a maximum of 1000)(stop pips minimum of 0 and maximum of 1000)
Back test date range is included in the script for back testing different data periods.
the back ground will be colored a transparent navy blue if the period you are looking trading is with in the date range( note: to place live trades the end date will need to be in the future)
this is also adjustable in the settings menu
The avoid spread filter is a user defined time in which the spread is typically higher than average, applying this filter avoids trades in the specified time. When this filter is applied there will be a transparent red back ground color in the specified time.
Back test default setting are equivocal to OANDA:USDJPY
at the time of this publication placing trades with the "Oanda" broker are as follows , USD units = 2000 equal 2000 USD position size . "Oanda" current leverage is 20 to 1 for this particular pair and commission is paid in spread (1.4) pips = 0.19 USD per trade , Margin required for the trade is 100.0 USD , Position sizing = 10% of a 1000 USD account.
OANDA:USDJPY
PRICE CHANNEL MEAN REVERSIONThis script is a Fully Automated trading script meant to be used with "Oanda" broker and the plug-ins for algorithmic trading automation.( FOREX ONLY)
This script is meant to capture "MEAN REVERSION " for intraday charts (1hour) preferably and will hold for days / weeks .trading on forex markets.
(The combination of indicators includes a high and low price channel along with a fast moving average)
This script is original in the description of Alan Hulls moving average combined with the high and low closing of price action.
The concept of this mean reversion strategy is to try and capture price exhaustive moves . The moving average is fast and most times remains in the channel. when the moving average overshoots the channel the average price of the instrument is thought to be rising or falling faster then average, indicating a possibility that the instrument may revert (pull back) this strategy aims to capture that pull back.
This strategy uses a higher risk than reward profile to jump in front of market moves (4 risk to 1 reward)
in the likelihood the instrument will revert back (example) 25 pips before it continues 100 pips in the current direction.
This strategy should only be used in markets that you believe are mean reverting at the time of trading otherwise you will be jumping Infront of a possible trend and the price can continue in the trending direction for an unknown specified amount of time.
This script uses a (user defined period) fast moving average ( green/red color) and (user defined period) price channel (White/Blue) chosen in the indicator settings menu.
The default parameters are 55 with a (minimum of 1 and maximum of 10000) for the moving average and 50 with a (minimum of 1 and maximum of 10000) for the price channel , the default parameters = roughly 2 days of price action on the (1 hour) chart.
"The default parameters should be kept unless you fully understand the complete strategy"
the upper band (white line) is the highest close of the specified period and the lower band (blue line) is the lowest close of the same period.
When the fast moving average over shoots the price channel (exits) then crosses back into the price channel (enters) it will trigger a long or short trade.
The long signal is given when the the moving average crosses below the low band then crosses back above the low band . The trade long trade will be entered and the trade will exit if the stop loss or profit targets are hit or if the short signal is given the trade will close then reverse.
The short trade will be entered if the fast moving average crosses above the upper band (white line) then crosses back down through the upper band (white line) The trade short trade will be entered and the trade will exit if the stop loss or profit targets are hit or if the long signal is given the trade will close then reverse.
When the trade is entered a red , a blue and green horizontal dotted line will appear on the chart.
the blue line is the strategy entry price , the red line is the stop loss price , and the green line is the take profit price . the colors will invert if the trade is long or short.
(Setting alerts should be done in the indicator settings menu, and the parameters you chose will determine the stop loss/target and the amount of "units = (position size)" you wish to trade for the (forex only) markets. using "alert() function calls only" is the only alert that should be used with this strategy.
(note : when "alert() function calls only" is set two messages will be sent, one closing any open position in the opposite direction and one placing the new order regardless if you are currently in a trade or not)
Trade targets , stoploss and trade position size are a user defined variables entered in the indicator settings menu. (target pips minimum 0 and a maximum of 1000)(stop pips minimum of 0 and maximum of 1000)
Back test date range is included in the script for back testing different data periods.
the back ground will be colored a transparent navy blue if the period you are looking trading is with in the date range( note: to place live trades the end date will need to be in the future)
this is also adjustable in the settings menu
The avoid spread filter is a user defined time in which the spread is typically higher than average, applying this filter avoids trades in the specified time. When this filter is applied there will be a transparent red back ground color in the specified time.
Back test default setting are equivocal to OANDA:NZDUSD
at the time of this publication placing trades with the "Oanda" broker are as follows , NZD units = 3250 equal 2000 USD position size .

BTC 4h bot 2.0 StrategyThis is Strategy version of BTC 4h bot 2.0.
Optimized for pairs BTC vs stablecoins, 4h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS:
Script is based on the fact that there are certain phases of the market when there is a greater probability that BTC will go to one side or the other. To evaluate which phase we are in, the script uses "Main trend" and "Confirmation signals".
Main trend
- Is composed of a combination of several supertrends and moving averages. A Supertrend is a trend following indicator that helps in identifying whether we are in an uptrend or a downtrend. A higher factor is used to capture the main trend and not just small movements. In case the market goes sideways, the Supertrend does not work well, so it is a combination of multiple supertrends along with moving averages to differentiate a real strong trend from a range.
- It can be seen on the graph as a thick solid line.
- In an uptrend is green, in a downtrend red, gray represents the neutral zone.
Confirmation signals
- Are several script-evaluated indicators such as RSI , MACD , ADX and others, which serve to confirm the trend. In this case, it is the opposite way to the Main trend. Confirmation signals are used here to detect small movements. They are trying to capture bullish and bearish price momentum.
- On the graph they are seen as dashed lines above or below the Main trend (in the gray zone they are in the middle).
- It indicates only two signals, green for buy and red for sell.
HOW TO USE IT:
if the Main trend and Confirmation signals are of the same color, it will send a buy or sell signal, depending on which phase of the trend it is in. If the Main trend is e.g. in an uptrend and the market is going up, Confirmation signals should generate a lot of signals. But if the market starts to go in the opposite direction, Confirmation signals should generate fewer signals or none at all, thus reducing the number of wrong trades. In the gray zone of the Main trend it does not open positions.
To close position is possible to use stop loss and take profit or alternative could be to set very high TP value, thereby letting the script close the positions by itself.
The default setting is:
TP: 3.9%
SL: 4.7%.
In this case, it is a strategy to find out how the script worked in the past period. The longest period in which it is possible to test BTCUSD is on the Bitstamp exchange. The script works consistently well over a long period of time, using past probabilities, but this does not guarantee future results.
Mean Reversion and TrendfollowingTitle: Mean Reversion and Trendfollowing
Introduction:
This script presents a hybrid trading strategy that combines mean reversion and trend following techniques. The strategy aims to capitalize on short-term price corrections during a downtrend (mean reversion) as well as ride the momentum of a trending market (trend following). It uses a 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a 2-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) to generate buy and sell signals.
Key Features:
Combines mean reversion and trend following techniques
Utilizes 200-period SMA and 2-period RSI
Customizable starting date
Allows for enabling/disabling mean reversion or trend following modes
Adjustable position sizing for trend following and mean reversion
Script Description:
The script implements a trading strategy that combines mean reversion and trend following techniques. Users can enable or disable either of these techniques through the input options. The strategy uses a 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a 2-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) to generate buy and sell signals.
The mean reversion mode is active when the price is below the SMA200, while the trend following mode is active when the price is above the SMA200. The script generates buy signals when the RSI is below 20 (oversold) in mean reversion mode or when the price is above the SMA200 in trend following mode. The script generates sell signals when the RSI is above 80 (overbought) in mean reversion mode or when the price falls below 95% of the SMA200 in trend following mode.
Users can adjust the position sizing for both trend following and mean reversion modes using the input options.

The following is a summary of the underlying whitepaper (onlinelibrary.wiley.com) for this strategy:
This paper proposes a theory of securities market under- and overreactions based on two psychological biases: investor overconfidence about the precision of private information and biased self-attribution, which causes asymmetric shifts in investors' confidence as a function of their investment outcomes. The authors show that overconfidence implies negative long-lag autocorrelations, excess volatility, and public-event-based return predictability. Biased self-attribution adds positive short-lag autocorrelations (momentum), short-run earnings "drift," and negative correlation between future returns and long-term past stock market and accounting performance.
The paper explains that there is empirical evidence challenging the traditional view that securities are rationally priced to reflect all publicly available information. Some of these anomalies include event-based return predictability, short-term momentum, long-term reversal, high volatility of asset prices relative to fundamentals, and short-run post-earnings announcement stock price "drift."
The authors argue that investor overconfidence can lead to stock prices overreacting to private information signals and underreacting to public signals. This overreaction-correction pattern is consistent with long-run negative autocorrelation in stock returns, excess volatility, and further implications for volatility conditional on the type of signal. The market's tendency to over- or underreact to different types of information allows the authors to address the pattern that average announcement date returns in virtually all event studies are of the same sign as the average post-event abnormal returns.
Biased self-attribution implies short-run momentum and long-term reversals in security prices. The dynamic analysis based on biased self-attribution can also lead to a lag-dependent response to corporate events. Cash flow or earnings surprises at first tend to reinforce confidence, causing a same-direction average stock price trend. Later reversal of overreaction can lead to an opposing stock price trend.
The paper concludes by summarizing the findings, relating the analysis to the literature on exogenous noise trading, and discussing issues related to the survival of overconfident traders in financial markets.
