INVITE-ONLY SCRIPT
Cyatophilum Bands Definitive Edition
Updated
█ OVERVIEW
A Swing Trade indicator providing backtest and alerts which can be used as a long, short or reversal strategy.
Its main goal is to catch breakouts and huge moves, and to try and beat the Buy & Hold Return.
█ CONCEPTS
The strategy consists of a unique custom indicator that works like this:
A Smoothed Donchian Channel combined with a consolidation check will trigger an entry.
The entry is then guided by a faster channel used as a trailing stop.
█ HOW TO USE
The most effective way to use this indicator is on high timeframes, from 2H to 1D.
The recommended pairs are trending pairs with consolidation areas. Yes, I'm especially looking at crypto.
The first appproach would be to catch long and short breakouts, and ride the trend using the trailing stop.
Adjust the Bands wisely to trigger entries at the right time.
The second approach is to go longs only, and try to beat the Buy & Hold return.
For this, click "Go long" and use an order size of 100% equity. Then adjust the Bands, trailing stop and chart timeframe.
The Buy & Hold comparator will come handy when backtesting.
█ INDICATOR SETTINGS
Strategy Direction
Choose wether to go long only, short only or both directions.
Bands Configuration
The bands lookback, smoothing and consolidation % are used to change the behavior of the bands. More info in the settings tooltips.
Trailing Stop
The "speed" of the trailing stop can be configured, allowing more or less room for the price to move before exiting.
Volume Condition
In addition to the consolidation condition, you can add a volume check to your entry. Is the volume rising or not? Useful in most scenarios.
Exit Alert Type
If you want to receive alerts during bars or prefer to ignore wicks.
Backtest Settings
This is where you choose the backtest period which is also used to calculate the B&H return.

The buy & Hold Comparator is an additional panel that turns green when the strategy's return is greater than the Buy & Hold return.
Note: The Strategy Return is the strategy netprofit + the strategy openprofit.
█ ALERTS

Then click "Add Alert". In the popup window, select the option "alert() function calls only", give the alert a name and you are good to go!
