INVITE-ONLY SCRIPT

TFi Pivot Reversal V3

By TradeFab
Updated
The Pivot Reversal Study uses pivot points to create a support and resistance level; based on this levels the script creates virtual stop-market orders to catch the trend if the price is crossing the pivot lines.
A "Pyramiding" input allows to configure up to 3 entries; the script enters an additional position if the price falls by a configurable percentage amount (long), the reverse to short orders.
A configurable profit-target and stop-loss is being used to exit an open position.
An optional Moving Average filter can be used to enable only long or short positions.

The script renders a status box at the last bar, which shows the current position status and result of the built-in trading simulation results.
It shows the following statistic values:
  • current position PnL - also background turns green if position is in profit and red if in loss
  • the percentage distance to the profit-target and stop-loss level
  • the overall number of wins and losses and the win/loss ratio
  • the overall profit and loss amount (assuming a quantity of 1)
  • the net-profit and profit-ratio

For the correct simulation of entry/exit prices, the script contains inputs for a percentage entry and exit slippage.

The study also creates configurable alerts, which follow the exact position of the entry/exit markers. The default alert messages contain trading instruction to execute orders via Alertatron; but the message content can be replaced if configuring the alert in the Tradingview environment.

The script was mainly backtested with crypto-coins, e.g. XBTUSD at 15min timeframe. But the script also works with any other type of security and timeframe.

OVERVIEW
The Tradingview Pivot Reversal Study script uses pivot points to create a support and resistance level; based on this levels the script tries to catch the trend if the price is crossing these pivot lines up- or downwards.
2 Moving Averages are used to filter for the overall trend, and only enter positions in direction of the current main-trend.
The “Pyramiding” input allows to configure up to 5 entries; all positions a closed at once if the profit-target or trailing-stop has been reached.

PROFIT-TARGET/TRAILING-STOP
The script is either using a percentage fix profit-target or based on an ATR profit-target, or a trailing-stop to exit a position.

STOP-LOSS
The script allows to configure a percentage stop-loss; alternatively the stop-loss can be disabled completely.

ALERTS
Every position entry and exit triggers a configurable alert, which can be used to automate the trading.
The script provides default alert-message setup to automate trading via Alertatron API. But the message content can be modified if setting up the alerts in the local Tradingview environment.
Full list of alerts:
  • ‘Alertatron Exit’ … Exit all open positions.
  • ‘Alertatron Enter Long’ … Enter long position, w/o stop-loss being used.
  • ‘Alertatron Enter Short’ … Enter short position, w/o stop-loss being used.
  • ‘Alertatron Enter Long SL’ … Enter long position, w/ stop-loss being used.
  • ‘Alertatron Enter Short SL’ … Enter short position, w/ stop-loss being used.
  • ‘Alertatron Enter Long TS’ … Enter long position, w/ trailing-stop being used.
  • ‘Alertatron Enter Short TS’ … Enter short position, w/ trailing-stop being used.


STATISTIC FUNCTIONS
The script has built-in statistics which allow to fully backtest the script.
It calculates the following statistic values and shows them in a statistic label at the last bar:
  • current position(s) PnL – also background turns green if position is in profit, red if in loss and blue if flat
  • current number of open positions and the average entry price
  • the percentage distance to the profit-target, trailing-stop and stop-loss level
  • the overall number of wins and losses and the win/loss ratio
  • the overall profit and loss amount (based on a configurable start budget and position size)
  • the net-profit and profit-ratio
  • the overall fees paid (based on configurable entry/exit/daily funding fee)
  • the balance and ROI

For the correct simulation of entry/exit prices, the script contains inputs for a percentage entry and exit slippage.

If 0, a new position will be entered everytime the entry trigger signals an entry until the maximum number of positions (defined via "Pyramiding") has been reached. If <0, the price relatively to the last entry has to go down (long) and up (short) by a percentage, before a new position will be entered.
