Trend Deviation strategy - BTC [IkkeOmar]Intro:
This is an example if anyone needs a push to get started with making strategies in pine script. This is an example on BTC, obviously it isn't a good strategy, and I wouldn't share my own good strategies because of alpha decay.
This strategy integrates several technical indicators to determine market trends and potential trade setups. These indicators include:
Directional Movement Index (DMI)
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Momentum Indicator
Aroon Indicator
Supertrend Indicator
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
It's crucial for you guys to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each indicator and identify synergies between them to improve the strategy's effectiveness.
Indicator Settings:
DMI (Directional Movement Index):
Length: This parameter determines the number of bars used in calculating the DMI. A higher length may provide smoother results but might lag behind the actual price action.
Bollinger Bands:
Length: This parameter specifies the number of bars used to calculate the moving average for the Bollinger Bands. A longer length results in a smoother average but might lag behind the price action.
Multiplier: The multiplier determines the width of the Bollinger Bands. It scales the standard deviation of the price data. A higher multiplier leads to wider bands, indicating increased volatility, while a lower multiplier results in narrower bands, suggesting decreased volatility.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC):
Length: This parameter defines the length of the STC calculation. A longer length may result in smoother but slower-moving signals.
Fast Length: Specifies the length of the fast moving average component in the STC calculation.
Slow Length: Specifies the length of the slow moving average component in the STC calculation.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Fast Length: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in the MACD.
Slow Length: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA in the MACD.
Signal Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the signal line, which is typically an EMA of the MACD line.
Momentum Indicator:
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which momentum is calculated. A longer length may provide smoother momentum readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
Aroon Indicator:
Length: Specifies the number of bars over which the Aroon indicator calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother Aroon readings but might lag behind significant market movements.
Supertrend Indicator:
Trendline Length: Determines the length of the period used in the Supertrend calculation. A longer length results in a smoother trendline but might lag behind recent price changes.
Trendline Factor: Specifies the multiplier used in calculating the trendline. It affects the sensitivity of the indicator to price changes.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Length: This parameter sets the number of bars over which RSI calculates its values. A longer length may result in smoother RSI readings but might lag behind significant price changes.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Fast EMA: Specifies the number of bars used to calculate the fast EMA. A shorter period results in a more responsive EMA to recent price changes.
Slow EMA: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the slow EMA. A longer period results in a smoother EMA but might lag behind recent price changes.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Default settings are typically used for VWAP calculations, which consider the volume traded at each price level over a specific period. This indicator provides insights into the average price weighted by trading volume.
backtest range and rules:
You can specify the start date for backtesting purposes.
You can can select the desired trade direction: Long, Short, or Both.
Entry and Exit Conditions:
LONG:
DMI Cross Up: The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicates a bullish trend when the positive directional movement (+DI) crosses above the negative directional movement (-DI).
Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is below the upper Bollinger Band, indicating a potential reversal from the upper band.
Momentum Indicator: Momentum is positive, suggesting increasing buying pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is above the signal line, indicating bullish momentum.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend indicator signals an uptrend.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): The STC indicates a bullish trend.
Aroon Indicator: The Aroon indicator signals a bullish trend or crossover.
When all these conditions are met simultaneously, the strategy considers it a favorable opportunity to enter a long trade.
SHORT:
DMI Cross Down: The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicates a bearish trend when the negative directional movement (-DI) crosses above the positive directional movement (+DI).
Bollinger Bands (BB): The price is above the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting a potential reversal from the lower band.
Momentum Indicator: Momentum is negative, indicating increasing selling pressure.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): The MACD line is below the signal line, signaling bearish momentum.
Supertrend Indicator: The Supertrend indicator signals a downtrend.
Schaff Trend Cycle (STC): The STC indicates a bearish trend.
Aroon Indicator: The Aroon indicator signals a bearish trend or crossover.
When all these conditions align, the strategy considers it an opportune moment to enter a short trade.
Disclaimer:
THIS ISN'T AN OPTIMAL STRATEGY AT ALL! It was just an old project from when I started learning pine script!
The backtest doesn't promise the same results in the future, always do both in-sample and out-of-sample testing when backtesting a strategy. And make sure you forward test it as well before implementing it!
Furthermore this strategy uses both trend and mean-reversion systems, that is usually a no-go if you want to build robust trend systems .
Don't hesitate to comment if you have any questions or if you have some good notes for a beginner.

The image above shows a list of configurations for the optimizer. You can
You can test hundreds of different MACD settings in under 40 seconds on any timeframe, asset, etc.
The image above shows additional settings to filter the outcome of your optimization testing. Additionally, you can test an unlimited number of profit targets and stop losses!
You can add one of several built-in TradingView indicators to filter trade entries.
The image above shows all built-in moving averages and TradingView indicators that can be incorporated into your MACD strategy.
Additionally, you can add your own, custom indicator to the optimization test, your favorite indicator by your favorite author or almost any publicly available indicator on TradingView.
The image above shows the settings section in which you can implement this feature.
The image above shows an example of the custom indicator feature! In this instance, I am using the public indicator titled "Self-Optimizing" RSI and requiring it to measure below a level prior to entry! Almost any custom indicator, your favorite indicator, etc. is compatible with this feature!
The MACD Optimizer has improved user friendliness over previous versions. The optimizer can be as simple or complex as you'd like - capable of handling both "easy" and "difficult" tasks at your discretion.
Additionally, you can configure the optimizer to prioritize MACD strategies that earn profit most efficiently!
The image above shows this feature in action.
You can also configure the optimizer to prioritize MACD strategies that achieve the highest win rate!
The image above shows this feature in action.
Instructions
The instructions below show a rudimentary approach to using the optimizer.
1. Build your strategy in the settings.
You should also disable the "Run a Backtest" feature to improve load times during optimization.
The image above shows my custom strategy settings.
Now that you've got some data on your chart - you should try "Freezing" the "Smoothing" setting for MACD . When doing this, the optimizer will test hundreds of MACD settings with a fixed "Smoothing" setting. Try using the best "Smoothing" setting you were able to find for your initial testing.
2. Take the best "Smoothing" setting and test various MACD and Signal Lengths.
The image above shows me configuring the MACD Optimizer to test different MACD line lengths and Signal line lengths with a fixed "smoothing" setting.
From the results, we can see that there are better MACD settings than what was shown in our initial test!
With this information we can execute a TradingView backtest.
3. Execute a TradingView Backtest.
You must enable the "Run a Backtest" feature to perform a TradingView backtest. Additionally, it's advised to enable the "STOP OPTIMIZATION" feature when performing a TradingView backtest. Enabling this feature will improve load times for the backtest to only a few seconds (since the optimizer won't look for the best setting when this feature is enabled).
The image above shows completion of the process!
From here, you can perform further testing, set alerts, etc.
Backtest Settings Shown
Initial Capital: The initial capital used for the shown backtests is $3,500 USD. Set the initial capital to replicate your true starting capital (: PnL for the MACD strategies (listed in table) is calculated using a starting capital of $10,000 USD.
Slippage: The slippage settings for the displayed backtest was set to 2 ticks.
Commission: Commission was adjusted to 0.1%.
Verify Price for Limit Orders was set to 2 ticks.
Optimization
Trading system optimization is immensely advantageous when executed with prudence.
Technical-oriented, mechanical trading systems work when a valid correlation is methodical to the extent that an objective, precisely-defined ruleset can consistently exploit it. If no such correlation exists, or a technical-oriented system is erroneously designed to exploit an illusory correlation (absent predictive utility), the trading system will fail.
Evaluate results practically and test parameters rigorously after discovery. Simply mining the best-performing parameters and immediately trading them is unlikely a winning strategy. Put as much effort into testing strong-performing parameters and building an accompanying system as you would any other trading strategy. Automated optimization involves curve fitting - it's the responsibility of the trader to validate a replicable sequence or correlation and the trading system that exploits it.

The strategy has several customizable options, which allows you to refine the strategy for your asset and timeframe.
You can customize settings for ALL indicator settings (MACD MTF and ATR).
- CUSTOM CONDITIONS TO ENTER A POSITION:
1. Both MACDs agree (current timeframe and higher timeframe).
2. Current timeframe MACD crossover.
3. Higher timeframe MACD crossover.
4. MACDs no longer agree with each other.
- EXIT CONDITION:
1. Predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit based on ATR (stop can be previous wick).
2. MACDs no longer agree with each other.
3. Opposite position entry.
- STOP LOSS TYPE:
1. ATR.
2. Previous wick.
- OTHER OPTIONS:
You can customize any setting for my MACD MTF and ATR.
- Visual:
ATR is shown for the Stop Loss / Take Profit.

- Recommendations:
Recommended on 8H or 12H timeframe for the CURRENT timeframe, while using DAILY for the higher timeframe on the MACD MFT (by default).
Entry when BOTH MACDs agree and exit on opposite entry, this has NO TAKE PROFIT or STOP LOSS, so be careful, but gives the BEST profit overall, and being on 8H/12H + Daily lets you relax.
- Customization:
As you can see, almost everything is customizable, for colors and plotting styles check the "Style" tab.
