Hammers & Stars StrategyOverview
This script trades basic hammer and shooting star candlestick patterns.
It's an extremely simple strategy with minimal filters, and according to my personal manual backtesting and automated trading results, performs best on the Daily chart on certain forex pairs.
It is intended to be traded on the forex markets but theoretically should work on all markets (especially if you optimize the settings).
The script also comes with complete AutoView automation for Oanda.
Make sure you've connected AutoView to TradingView and Oanda, then simply set an alert using the "alert() function calls only" condition and it will automatically execute trades based on whatever settings you've selected (only recommended for experienced traders - use at your own risk!)
If you're not sure how to set up AutoView, search "The Art of Trading AutoView Guide" on YouTube to find my detailed video guide.
Check out my website and YouTube channel for more information, scripts, resources and free Pine Script & trading lessons (link in my profile).
Best of luck with your trading!

Settings Menu
Tooltips are included explaining what the various settings do, but here's a quick summary:

Stop Loss ATR: Stop loss multiplier (x ATR)

Use Limit Order: If turned on then AutoView will use limit orders. If turned off then market orders will be used (recommended to use limit order to mitigate spread issues)

Account Balance: Your account balance (used for calculating position size)
Account Currency: Your account balance currency (used for calculating position size)
Risk Per Trade %: Your risk per trade as a % of your account balance
STAR
Doji strategyThis is a simple strategy based on Doji star candlestick.
It places two orders: buy stop at doji star high or previous candle high and sell stop at doji star low or previous candle low.
Exit rules are with take profit and fixed stop loss or take profit and stop loss at doji min or max.
This strategy works very well with high time frames like Daily and Weekly because those are without noise in doji formation.
Each currency pair has its own optimal setting for TP and SL: it's up to user find the best ones.
I could implement SL based on ATR, maybe in next revision.
Please use comment section for any feedback.
Next improvement (only to whom is interested to this script and follows me): study with alerts on multiple tickers all at one. Leave a comment if you want to have access to study.
