Each of my Allin Custom Indicators combined, ads to your understanding where the Market could go next. Each of them have their own purpose and set of rules.
You will weight gathered information to get a better understanding of when to ENTER or EXIT a position (SHORT or LONG).
First you need to find the right Indicator Settings and the best preforming TimeFrame for chosen crypto or fiat pair. You will do that with a "STRATEGY" Indicator. I chose either 3min TF for highly liquid assets or 15min TF for assets of low liquidity but you can choose whatever you want to up to 30min TF.
Do not stop until you find 80% or more Precent Profitable result (test different setting on different TF for best results) in Strategy Tester. You can backtest your Strategy with different settings and in different TimeFames to find the very best results for that pair.
BACKTESTING past results does not guarantee your future results. BACKTESTING is used to fine-tune your indicator.
Example: with a guitar tuner (Strategy Tester in our case) you fine-tune your guitar (our Indicators in our case) so you know what tone the guitar will produce when you hit a certain note ("in-tuned" visual interpretation of the Market in our case). It is normal to get a 100% Precent Profitable result from backtesting with very little Drawdown. More than 80% and low drawdown usually means Indicators is "in-tune".
CUSTOM INDICATOR TYPE: STRATEGY
SETUP
There are five different settings. To use them efficiently you need to understand what is their purpose and meaning.
"2nd", "3rd" and "4th" FIELD
All of my custom indicators use data from 4 different TimeFrames. First TimeFrame is the one you picked in TradingView. Now you need to set up the other three TimeFrames. To do that you need to click on the "Settings" icon on this indicator and change the "2nd", "3rd" and "4th" field. The preferred setting I use to start searching for the best performing set of Settings is 2-8-32 OR 3-9-27 OR 4-16-64 OR 5-20-80. Those numbers are multiplication of chosen TimeFrame.
Example: setting 2-8-32 on a 5-minute TimeFrame means it will gather data from 5min TF, 10min TF (5minX2), 40min TF (5minX8) and 160min TF (5minX32).
Smoother FIELD
This Field is used to average down all that data indicator it is gathering from the price chart. I use integers like for example 9, 18, 27, and any number in between. It is connected to volatility. High Volatility needs Low Number and vice versa.
Threshold FIELD
This Field is used to cancel down all the mini signal confirmations that are false due to an insignificant influence on future price movements. This number is usually best at 21. When you set all other Fields and get satisfying results you can still try and fine-tune it even more and get even better results.
HOW TO USE IT
First, you have to choose your TimeFrame. I choose either 3min TF for highly liquid assets and 15min TF for assets of low liquidity but you can choose whatever you want to up to 30min TF. Example: if you chose 30min TimeFrame and you fill the "4th" Field with the number "80", one of observed TF by the indicator will be "30minX80" or "2400min" or "40h" TimeFrame, so it is HUGE.
It always depends based on the nature of the actual pair you are looking at. If it is very volatile with a lot of volume, the market beat for this pair settings is very different from another pair with for example very little volume and low volatility. So you need to find the right Indicator Settings at the right TimeFrame for each pair you are following. You are basically tuning your Indicator like you would tune your guitar so you know what to expect before hitting those "strings" of yours.
Find the best performing setting and TimeFrame with help from a TradingView feature called "Strategy Tester". Get familiar with this feature. But rule of thumb is: everything more than 80% Precent Profitable result with Max Drawdown (negative yield from the worst closed position) lower or similar to AvgTrade is considered good enough tuning of my Indicators.
You need to reevaluate your best setting whenever your last trade gets a negative result or something big (whale manipulation) happens on the market. You need to re-tune your Indicator so it will be in tune with the Market again. Check and try to find better performing (better Precent Profitable result, lower Drawdown) settings periodically every few days to find your best yielding results.
CUSTOM INDICATOR: OSCILLATOR
HOW TO READ IT
GREEN AREA on the bottom and RED AREA on top are just like the oversold or overbought areas in RSI, CCI or SRSI and uses the same principle.
Example: when a WHITE wave line crosses-UP WHITE horizontal line in GREEN area it means that it is a LONG/BUY signal/confirmation. It needs to be confirmed with other confirmation signals in that same Indicator on in a "BULL&BEAR" Indicator to get better understanding that the price would not turn back down due to a false price move in UPWARDS direction.
GREEN or RED OSCILLATOR WAVE AREAS indicates the direction price is going and how strong the "force" behind the price move is.
Example: if WHITE LINE is over the RED/GREEN LINE the area turns GREEN and it is a LONG/BUY signal. When a shadow color is on the OTHER SIDE that means it is an added confirmation for a LONG/BUY position. When a SHADOW AREA is over the GREEN AREA and turns RED it usually means there are still forces pulling the price down.
Before making any decisions based on visualisation you should refresh the page. Indicator is very data sensitive and needs that very last data for the most accurate visual representation of the Market.
