INVITE-ONLY SCRIPT
3Commas DCA Bot Strategy v1.0
Updated
Introduction
The strategy attempts to implement a majority all of the settings found on the 3Commas DCA Bot setting page that can be implemented within a TradingView indicator. Specifically, it will implement the "Open new trade ASAP" and "Trading View Custom Signal" deal start conditions. In this way, you can leverage the power of TradingView's backtester to model your settings and analysis past performance as well as leverage TradingView's alert notification subsystem to send Deal Start and Close signals to 3Commas using almost any of the thousands of scripts found in the Public Library (see "What does it do and how does it do it?" section below for more information on how to do this using the RSI indicator as an example).
How is it original and useful?
This strategy is unique in that it's the only one (as of the initial publications) that can handle 28 out of 32 bot settings (88% coverage) that are found on the 3Commas bot settings page. In addition, because it is a TradingView script, you will benefit from the following:
How does it compare to other scripts in the Public Library?
This strategy offers a very detailed, comprehensive settings and maybe the only one (as of the initial publication) that can handle 28 out of the 32 bot settings that are found on the 3Commas bot settings page (that can be handled within TradingView, because some cannot be modeled due to chart and language constraints). Specifically, the following 3Commas bot settings and inputs are addressed with asterisks denoting specific limitation due to TradingView's platform architecture and/or constraints:
Main settings
Pairs
Strategy
Deal start condition
Take profit
Stop loss
Safety orders
Advanced settings
Close deal after timeout
In addition to the above inputs, the script will also support the same output data points that are found on the bot settings page, which are:
Assistant
Table (Used amount for each step)
What does it do and how does it do it?
When applied to the chart for the first time, the default settings will work to execute the "Open new trade asap" deal start condition using a take profit of 4%, a base order size of 1.335% of equity (initial capital + net profit), a safety order size of 2.003% of equity (initial capital + net profit), a safety order volume scale of 1.5, a safety order step scale of 1.21, and a max safety trades count of 8. With these settings, as you scroll through the chart's history you should see price action crossing the DCA layers (denoted with blue triangles), and a green take-profit price line will render (with green triangle denoting the crossings). Lastly, in the upper-right corner of the chart the table of DCA statistics will render showing you all the gathered data that took place since the chart's starting history until the current time.
Using the "TV Custom Signal" section will allow you to "link" other chart indicators to supply "Start" and "Close" signals for the script. For example, here's how you can use the standard RSI indicator to generate an entry signal:
1) Add the stock RSI indicator and configure it to your desire.
2) Select the "RSI" indicator in the "Chart/Indicator Data Point" input.
3) Select "Chart/Indicator Data Point" in the "Start Deal When" input.
4) Select "Less Than" in the "Is" input.
5) Select "Custom Value(s)" in the "The Value Of" input.
6) Enter "25" in the "Custom Value 1 (Single or Lower Bound)" input.
7) Select "Trading View Custom Signal" in the "Open new trade" input (in the DEAL START CONDITION section).
8) Lastly, check the checkbox with a horizontal straight line above the "Start Deal When" input.
This means that the indicator will start a deal when the "RSI indicator" is "Less Than" the value of "25".
Strategy Results
The default settings are designed to ensure that the indicator will render chart elements when first loaded as well as to allow the backtester to gather order executions and display performance summary. The chart above is is using $10,000 initial capital, a commission rate of 0.1% for both entries and exits, and a 1 tick slippage setting. It is also using 3.22581% of the equity for the Base Order Size, 6.45161% of equity for the first Safety Order Size. The Maximum Safety Trade Count is 4 with a Safety Order Volume Scale of 2, a Safety Order Step Scale of 1.53, Price Deviation To Option Safety Orders at 5.3, and a take profit of 4.5% with Trailing turned on at a deviation of 1.5%. All other settings are defaults.
It is recommended that the indicator be "tuned" for your specific market in order to best implement the strategy and obtain better desirable results. You do so by using the backtester and statistics table and observe the output values and learn how the indicator is performing in the chart history. Using this information, you can adjust the settings accordingly until you find the settings acceptable to your trading goals and risk tolerance.
Always keep in mind that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Settings that seem favorable for one market may be found to be disastrous in another. Therefore, do take the time needed to understand how the settings will behave with the given chart symbol.
Enjoy! 😊👍

- Model your bot's configuration using the backtester on any timeframe and evaluate its performance using the chart's history.
- View a table of detailed statistics pertaining to deals started and completed, win/loss rates, daily P&L, true max drawdown, and detailed statistics on bars in deal along with safety orders filled.
- View a table of "Used amount for each step" as presented in 3Commas as well.
- Ability to link to almost any TradingView chart indicator that provides a single data point for buy/sell signals.
- Make use of the 3Commas TA Start Conditions indicator to emulate the 3Commas built-in indicators for further performance evaluation with the backtester.
