Scalping using RSI 2 indicator with TSLThis strategy implements a simply scalping using the RSI (calculated on two periods), the slopes of two MAs ( EMA or SMA ) having different lengths (by default, I use 50 and 200). A trailing stop loss (%) is used. Entry conditions: .) Fast MA > Slow MA and Price > Slow MA and RSI < Oversold Threshold ------> go Long .) Fast MA < Slow MA and Price < Slow MA and RSI > Overbought Threshold ------> go Short Exit conditions: .) Long entry condition is true and (close >= TP or close <= TSL ) ----> close short position .) Short entry condition is true and (close <= TP or close >= TSL ) ----> close long position The strategy performed best on Bitcoin and the most liquid and capitalized Altcoins but works excellent on volatile assets, mainly if they often go trending. Works best on 3h - 4h time frame. There's also an optional Volatility filter, which opens the position only if the difference between the two slopes is more than a specific value, which can be set in the study inputs. The purpose is not opening positions if the price goes sideways and the noise is way > than the signal. Note: .) the RSI length is 2; .) the oversold Threshold is 90%; .) the overbought Threshold is 10%; .) by default, the trailing stop loss per cent is 1%; .) by default, the fast MA length is 50; .) by default, the slow MA length is 200; .) by default, the MA used is EMA. Cheers.

Pinescript v4 - The Holy Grail (Trailing Stop)After studying several other scripts, I believe I have found the Holy Grail! (Or perhaps I've just found a bug with Tradingview's Pinescript v4 language) Anyhow, I'm publishing this script in the hope that someone smarter than myself could shed some light on the fact that adding a trailing stop to any strategy seems to make it miraculously...no that's an understatement...incredulously, stupendously, mind-bendingly profitable. I'm talking about INSANE profit factors, higher than 200x, with drawdowns of <10%. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe it is...or you could hook it up to your LIVE broker, and pray it doesn't explode. This is an upgraded version of my original Pin Bar Strategy. Recommended Chart Settings: Asset Class: Forex Time Frame: H1 Long Entry Conditions: a) Exponential Moving Average Fan up trend b) Presence of a Bullish Pin Bar c) Pin Bar pierces the Exponential Moving Average Fan Short Entry Conditions: a) Exponential Moving Average down trend b) Presence of a Bearish Pin Bar c) Pin Bar pierces the Exponential Moving Average Fan Exit Conditions: a) Trailing stop is hit b) Moving Averages cross-back (optional) c) It's the weekend Default Robot Settings: Equity Risk (%): 3 //how much account balance to risk per trade Stop Loss (x*ATR, Float): 0.5 //stoploss = x * ATR, you can change x Stop Loss Trail Points (Pips): 1 //the magic sauce, not sure how this works Stop Loss Trail Offset (Pips): 1 //the magic sauce, not sure how this works Slow SMA (Period): 50 //slow moving average period Medium EMA (Period): 18 //medium exponential moving average period Fast EMA (Period): 6 //fast exponential moving average period ATR (Period): 14 // average true range period Cancel Entry After X Bars (Period): 3 //cancel the order after x bars not triggered, you can change x Backtest Results (2019 to 2020, H1, Default Settings): AUDUSD - 1604% profit, 239.6 profit factor, 4.9% drawdown (INSANE) NZDUSD - 1688.7% profit, 100.3 profit factor, 2.5% drawdown GBPUSD - 1168.8% profit, 98.7 profit factor, 0% drawdown USDJPY - 900.7% profit, 93.7 profit factor, 4.9% drawdown USDCAD - 819% profit, 31.7 profit factor, 8.1% drawdown EURUSD - 685.6% profit, 26.8 profit factor, 5.9% drawdown USDCHF - 1008% profit, 18.7 profit factor, 8.6% drawdown GBPJPY - 1173.4% profit, 16.1 profit factor, 7.9% drawdown EURAUD - 613.3% profit, 14.4 profit factor, 9.8% drawdown AUDJPY - 1619% profit, 11.26 profit factor, 9.1% drawdown EURJPY - 897.2% profit, 6 profit factor, 13.8% drawdown EURGBP - 608.9% profit, 5.3 profit factor, 9.8% drawdown (NOT TOO SHABBY) As you can clearly see above, this forex robot is projected by the Tradingview backtester to be INSANELY profitable for all common forex pairs. So what was the difference between this strategy and my previous strategies? Check my code and look for "trail_points" and "trail_offset"; you can even look them up in the PineScript v4 documentation. They specify a trailing stop as the exit condition, which automatically closes the trade if price reverses against you. I however suspect that the backtester is not properly calculating intra-bar price movement, and is using a simplified model. With this simplfied approach, the trailing stop code becomes some sort of "holy grail" generator, making every trade entered profitable. Risk Warning: This is a forex trading strategy that involves high risk of equity loss, and backtest performance will not equal future results. You agree to use this script at your own risk. Hint: To get more realistic results, and *maybe* overcome the intrabar simulation error, change the settings to: "Stop Loss Trail Points (pips)": 100 I am not sure if this eradicates the bug, but the entries and exits look more proper, and the profit factors are more believable.

Donchian Channels Strategy - Long Term TrendFor Educational Purposes. Results can differ on different markets and can fail at any time. Profit is not guaranteed. This only works in a few markets and in certain situations. Changing the settings can give better or worse results for other markets. This is a longer term trend following strategy that uses Donchian Channels for trend following and uses the upper and lower bands to find price breakouts to enter the market and then uses the middle band as a trailing stop to exit. DCs are known as the original trend following strategy made by Richard Donchian. Usually the middle band uses the same length of the upper and lower bands in its calculation but I included the default option of using a middle band that is double the length of the other bands, but also an option to use the regular input length that most Donchian strategies use if needed. If long term trends are somehow found, this longer middle band lets the profits run longer and lets you see where the long trends were at if the market had any. The double lengthed middle band looks surprisingly very similar to a 3x ATR trailing stop, which is the recommended setting Wilder suggested for trend following. If a good ATR stop or other trailing stop can't be found, this longer middle band can act as a substitute for it. For some reason I can't seem to find anything related to Donchian strategies on here despite the popularity and simplicity of it, not even a single working one to my liking, so I made my own. It seems this strategy only works in trending markets. I intentionally handpicked a market that the backtest does well on to illustrate the potential it might have for other markets where trending following strategies might work on and what to expect the results in those might be. Trend following strategies are said to have high profits but at the same time lower accuracy due to the failure rate of being able to catch the right trend. If you all got any suggestions or feedback please let me.

WOMBO COMBO: EMA & VWAP & MACD & BB & STCHello my fellow investors, After hours of reading, backtesting, and YouTube video watching I discovered that EMA, VWAP, BB, MACD, and STC produce the most consistent results for investment planning. This strategy allows you to pick between the aforementioned indicators or layer them together. It works on the pricipal of: 1) Always follow the market trend - buy/sell above/below 200EMA 2) Follow corporate investing trends - buy/sell above/below VWAP 3) Apply MACD check - buy--> MACD line above signal line and corssover below histogram \\ sell --> MACD line below signal line and crossover above histogram. 4) Check volitility with price against BB limits upper/Sell or lower/buy 5) When STC crosses about 10 buy and when it drops below 90 sell 6) Exit position when stop loss is triggered or profit target is hit. BB also provides a parameter to exit positions. This code is the product of many hours of hard work on the part of the greater tradingview community. The credit goes to everyone in the community who has put code out there for the greater good.

MTF Trailing SL Strategy [QuantNomad]This is a Multi-Timeframe version of my Trailing SL Strategy. Few weeks ago I published Trailing SL Strategy. There I used only basic Trailing SL to enter positions. It worked pretty well so I tried to work on it a bit. I thought what if you can use the same ATR TSL on different timeframes and combine them into one signal. In this strategy you can use only ATR stops and choose 3 other higher timeframes in addition to your current timeframe. You'll see Trailing SL plotted on the chart form all these timeframes. Entry Long position if all 4 time-frames agree on long signal. Exit Long positions when at least 2 time-frames disagree on long signal. Entry to Short position if all 4 time-frames agree on Short signal. Exit from Short positions when at least 2 time-frames disagree on Short signal. Here is the link to my basic Trailing SL Strategy:

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

BEST Trailing Stop StrategyHello traders Here we go again.... with the second strategy snippet. Reminder: the first snipper was a Trailing Profit strategy script What's on the menu? A trailing stop is designed to protect gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor. The order closes the trade if the price changes direction by a specified percentage or dollar amount. Trigger me I'm famous I developed many trading strategies in my career and often I've been asked to trigger a trailing-stop once a certain % move has been made. On the screenshot below, the SL trigger is plotted in maroon. Once the price goes past that level for the first time, I'll start trailing the trailing stop level. In other words, when we see a price makes an interesting move in percentage value - we decide to trail the stop for at least not losing any more All the BEST Dave

BEST Trailing Take Profit StrategyHello traders Hope you enjoyed your weekend on my behalf. Was staying home working ... ^^ This is my first strategy educational post I'm doing ever While I'm generally against posting strategies because it's very easy to fake performance numbers... I cannot prevent myself from sharing a few cool strategy snippets anyway. So from now on, I'll be sharing a few strategies also - generally not to showcase performance but only to show what pinescript can do. As once again strategy performance can be faked is so many ways... :) What's on the menu? We all know what a trailing-stop is. right? right? Ok... sharing the definition here :) A trailing stop is designed to protect gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor. The order closes the trade if the price changes direction by a specified percentage or dollar amount. But...do you know what a trailing profit is? Short definition : Well the same but with your profit limit order. Long definition : A trailing profit is designed to increase your gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor. The order closes the trade if the price hits the trailing profit level specified percentage or dollar amount. Some trading strategies used both a trailing stop AND trailing profit. Not making any recommendation here - only sharing what's possible in the realm of trading and pinescripting Trigger me I'm famous I developed many trading strategies in my career and often I've been asked to trigger a trailing-stop or trailing-profit once a certain % move has been made. I integrated here a Take Profit trigger - once hit, it will activate the trailing profit On the screenshot below, the TP trigger is plotted in orange. Once the price goes past that level for the first time, I'll start trailing the profit level. In other words, when we see a price makes an interesting move in percentage value - we decide to offset the profit as we concluded that once it reached such distance - then it leads often to more profit Of course, using only a trailing profit without stop/trailing-stop/invalidation isn't smart and the surest way to kiss goodbye a trading capital and trading and your good mood See you tomorrow for another strategy snippet All the BEST Dave

Move Up StopsThis script creates a stop loss level and then moves it up in 5% increments as prices increase. Basically, it checks to see if the lowest low of the last 7 days is above a certain level. If yes, it sets the stop at that level. It then checks for the next highest level and keeps going until the price is not above a level. Those variables are then set to the level below them. Trailing stops are notorious for skewing backtest results. This script avoids that problem. Also, some exchanges do not offer trailing stops, so this script gives you a signal to let you know its time to manually move your stops up. I will be using this for swing trades involving both crypto and stocks.
