Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Ergodic MDI This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy This is one of the techniques described by William Blau in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). If you like to learn more, we advise you to read this book. His book focuses on three key aspects of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding, he then looks at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some innovative techniques, including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional issues, he analyzes the intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help define trending and non-trending periods.

Momentum adjusted Moving Average by DGTA brand new Moving Average , calculated using Momentum, Acceleration and Probability (Psychological Effect). Momentum adjusted Moving Average(MaMA) is an indicator that measures Price Action by taking into consideration not only Price movements but also its Momentum, Acceleration and Probability. MaMA, provides faster responses comparing to the regular Moving Average Here is the math of the MaMA idea Momentum measures change in price over a specified time period momentum = source – source(length) where, source, indicates current bar’s price value source(length), indicates historical price value of length bars earlier Lets play with this formula and rewrite it by moving source(length) to other side of the equation source = source(length) + momentum to avoid confusion let’s call the source that we aim to predict as adjustedSource adjustedSource = source(length) + momentum looks nice the next value of source simply can be calculated by summing of historical value of the source value and value of the momentum. I wish it was so easy, the formula holds true only when the momentum is conserved/constant/steady but momentum move up or down with the price fluctuations (accelerating or decelerating) Let’s add acceleration effects on our formula, where acceleration is change in momentum for a given length. Then the formula will become as (skipped proof part of acceleration effects, you may google for further details) adjustedSource = source(length) + momentum + 1/2 * acceleration here again the formula holds true when the acceleration is constant and once again it is not the case for trading, acceleration also changes with the price fluctuations Then, how we can benefit from all of this, it has value yet requires additional approaches for better outcome Let’s simulate behaviour with some predictive approach such as using probability (also known as psychological effect ), where probability is a measure for calculating the chances or the possibilities of the occurrence of a random event. As stated earlier above momentum and acceleration are changing with the price fluctuations, by using the probability approach we can add a predictive skill to determine the likelihood of momentum and acceleration changes (remember it is a predictive approach). With this approach, our equations can be expresses as follows adjustedSource = source(length) + momentum * probability adjustedSource = source(length) + ( momentum + 1/2 * acceleration ) * probability , with acceleration effect Finally, we plot MaMA with the new predicted source adjustedSource, applying acceleration effect is made settable by the used from the dialog box, default value is true. What to look for: • Trend Identification • Support and Resistance • Price Crossovers Recommended settings are applied as default settings, if you wish to change the length of the MaMA then you should also adjust length of Momentum (and/or Probability). For example for faster moving average such as 21 period it would be suggested to set momentum length to 13 Alternative usage , set moving average length to 1 and keep rest lengths with default values, it will produce a predictive price line based on momentum and probability. Experience acceleration factor by enabling and disabling it Conclusion MaMA provide an added level of confidence to a trading strategy and yet it is important to always be aware that it implements a predictive approach in a chaotic market use with caution just like with any indicator Trading success is all about following your trading strategy and the indicators should fit within your trading strategy, and not to be traded upon solely Disclaimer : The script is for informational and educational purposes only.

Momentum Acceleration by DGTItalian physicist Galileo Galilei is usually credited with being the first to measure speed by considering the distance covered and the time it takes. Galileo defined speed as the distance covered during a period of time. In equation form, that is v = Δd / Δt where v is speed, Δd is change in distance, and Δt is change in time. The Greek symbol for delta, a triangle (Δ), means change. Is the speed getting faster or slower? Acceleration will be the answer, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of speed over a set period of time, meaning something is getting faster or slower. Mathematically expressed, acceleration denoted as a is a = Δv / Δt , where Δv is the change in speed and Δt is the change in time. How to apply in trading Lets think about Momentum, Rate of Return, Rate of Change all are calculated in almost same approach with Speed Momentum measures change in price over a specified time period, Rate of Change measures percent change in price over a specified time period, Rate of Return measures the net gain or loss over a specified time period, And Speed measures change in distance over a specified time period So we may state that measuring the change in distance is also measuring the change in price over a specified time period which is length, hence speed can be calculated as (source – source )/length and acceleration becomes (speed – speed )/length In this study acceleration is used as signal line and result plotted as arrows demonstrating bull or bear direction where direction changes can be considered as trading setups Just a little fun, since we deal with speed the short name of the study is named after famous cartoon character Speedy Gonzales Trading success is all about following your trading strategy and the indicators should fit within your trading strategy, and not to be traded upon solely Disclaimer: The script is for informational and educational purposes only.

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & EMA & MA Crossover This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy The Moving Average Crossover trading strategy is possibly the most popular trading strategy in the world of trading. First of them were written in the middle of XX century, when commodities trading strategies became popular. This strategy is a good example of so-called traditional strategies. Traditional strategies are always long or short. That means they are never out of the market. The concept of having a strategy that is always long or short may be scary, particularly in today’s market where you don’t know what is going to happen as far as risk on any one market. But a lot of traders believe that the concept is still valid, especially for those of traders who do their own research or their own discretionary trading. This version uses crossover of moving average and its exponential moving average. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.

The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy Developed by Dr Alexander Elder, the Elder-ray indicator measures buying and selling pressure in the market. The Elder-ray is often used as part of the Triple Screen trading system but may also be used on its own. Dr Elder uses a 13-day exponential moving average (EMA) to indicate the market consensus of value. Bull Power measures the ability of buyers to drive prices above the consensus of value. Bear Power reflects the ability of sellers to drive prices below the average consensus of value. Bull Power is calculated by subtracting the 13-day EMA from the day's High. Bear power subtracts the 13-day EMA from the day's Low. You can use in the xPrice any series: Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4 and ect...

Pivot Point V2 Backtest Pivot points simply took the high, low, and closing price from the previous period and divided by 3 to find the pivot. From this pivot, traders would then base their calculations for three support, and three resistance levels. The calculation for the most basic flavor of pivot points, known as ‘floor-trader pivots’, along with their support and resistance levels.

[FN] Session Range & Date Range For BacktestingThis has been done before in different ways, however, my goal is to publish a single, simplified copy/paste version of the idea so you can quickly and easily incorporate it into your strategy backtesting. You can designate weekdays, weekdays + weekends for 24/7 markets, and also session range. So, you trade bitcoin? It works. CME futures? It works. You are a discretionary trader so the only signals that matter are the ones that happen when you're awake? It works. Copy and paste. The goal is that its that easy. You'll have to let me know if it is. glhf everyone. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to copy/paste this directly into your strategy script (Paste it in before your entry declarations). Just leave out the last 2 lines where the bgcolor() is declared... unless you want the background color lit up, that's up to you. It's just for demonstration purposes in this script. After you've pasted it in, then in your strategy.entry() function you are adding: to the strategy.entry() function. e.g: strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, qty=1, when = ENTRY_SIGNAL and signal_backtest()) Shoutouts to @zenandtheartoftrading and @allanster for providing the basis of this code that I put together here. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Camarilla Pivot Points V2 Backtest Camarilla pivot point formula is the refined form of existing classic pivot point formula. The Camarilla method was developed by Nick Stott who was a very successful bond trader. What makes it better is the use of Fibonacci numbers in calculation of levels. Camarilla equations are used to calculate intraday support and resistance levels using the previous days volatility spread. Camarilla equations take previous day’s high, low and close as input and generates 8 levels of intraday support and resistance based on pivot points. There are 4 levels above pivot point and 4 levels below pivot points. The most important levels are L3 L4 and H3 H4. H3 and L3 are the levels to go against the trend with stop loss around H4 or L4 . While L4 and H4 are considered as breakout levels when these levels are breached its time to trade with the trend. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.

Hash Ribbons Backtest - Bitcoin Beats YT Hello Hello Hello and welcome back to Bitcoin Beats! This is a script written by capriole_charles Go check out the original! I have added leverage and stoploss % but also made it a strategy so we can look back at past trades to see patterns and profit. Personally I feel this is not enough data to trade off as BTC is such a young asset. However I have seen other models similar to this for other assets that hold strong. Trade safe! Good bye from bitcoin beats! Not Meant For The 1H! My Bad! higher timeframes are better! The "Spring" is the confirmed Miner capitulation period: The 1st "gray" circle is the start of Capitulation (1 month Hash Rate crosses UNDER 2 month Hash Rate) Last "green" circle is the end of Capitulation (1 month Hash Rate crosses OVER 2 month Hash Rate) The "greener" the spring gets (up until blue) represents Hash Rate recovery (it is increasing) The "blue" circle is the first instance of positive momentum following recovery of Hash Rate (1m HR > 2m HR). This is historically a rewarding place to buy with limited downside.

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & ECO Strategy This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy We call this one the ECO for short, but it will be listed on the indicator list at W. Blau’s Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator. The ECO is a momentum indicator. It is based on candlestick bars, and takes into account the size and direction of the candlestick "body". We have found it to be a very good momentum indicator, and especially smooth, because it is unaffected by gaps in price, unlike many other momentum indicators. We like to use this indicator as an additional trend confirmation tool, or as an alternate trend definition tool, in place of a weekly indicator. The simplest way of using the indicator is simply to define the trend based on which side of the "0" line the indicator is located on. If the indicator is above "0", then the trend is up. If the indicator is below "0" then the trend is down. You can add an additional qualifier by noting the "slope" of the indicator, and the crossing points of the slow and fast lines. Some like to use the slope alone to define trend direction. If the lines are sloping upward, the trend is up. Alternately, if the lines are sloping downward, the trend is down. In this view, the point where the lines "cross" is the point where the trend changes. When the ECO is below the "0" line, the trend is down, and we are qualified only to sell on new short signals from the Hi-Lo Activator. In other words, when the ECO is above 0, we are not allowed to take short signals, and when the ECO is below 0, we are not allowed to take long signals.

Why is it ok to backtest on TradingView from now on!TradingView backtester has bad reputation. For a good reason - it was producing wrong results, and it was clear at first sight how bad they were. But this has changed. Along with many other improvements in its PineScript coding capabilities, TradingView fixed important bug, which was the main reason for miscalculations. TradingView didn't really speak out about this fix, so let me try :) Have a look at this short code of a swing trading strategy (PLEASE DON'T FOCUS ON BACKTEST RESULTS ATTACHED HERE - THEY DO NOT MATTER). Sometimes entry condition happens together with closing condition for the already ongoing trade. Example: the condition to close Long entry is the same as a condition to enter Short. And when these two aligned, not only a Long was closed and Short was entered (as intended), but also a second Short was entered, too!!! What's even worse, that second short was not controlled with closing conditions inside strategy.exit() function and it very often lead to losses exceeding whatever was declared in "loss=" parameter. This could not have worked well... But HOORAY!!! - it has been fixed and won't happen anymore. So together with other improvements - TradingView's backtester and PineScript is now ok to work with on standard candlesticks :) Yep, no need to code strategies and backtest them on other platforms anymore. ---------------- Having said the above, there are still some pitfalls remaining, which you need to be aware of and avoid: Don't backtest on HeikenAshi, Renko, Kagi candlesticks. They were not invented with backtesting in mind. There are still using wrong price levels for entries and therefore producing always too good backtesting results. Only standard candlesticks are reliable to backtest on. Don't use Trailing Stop in your code. TradingView operates only on closed candlesticks, not on tick data and because of that, backtester will always assume price has first reached its favourable extreme (so 'high' when you are in Long trade and 'low' when you are in Short trade) before it starts to pull back. Which is rarely the truth in reality. Therefore strategies using Trailing Stop are also producing too good backtesting results. It is especially well visible on higher timeframe strategies - for some reason your strategy manages to make gains on those huge, fat candlesticks :) But that's not reality. "when=" inside strategy.exit() does not work as you would intuitively expect. If you want to have logical condition to close your trade (for example - crossover(rsi(close,14),20)) you need to place it inside strategy.close() function. And leave StopLoss + TakeProfit conditions inside strategy.exit() function. Just as in attached code. If you're working with pyramiding, add "process_orders_on_close=ANY" to your strategy() script header. Default setting ("=FIFO") will first close the trade, which was opened first, not the one which was hit by Stop-Loss condidtion. ---------------- That's it, I guess :) If you are noticing other issues with backtester and would like to share, let everyone know in comments. If the issue is indeed a bug, there is a chance TradingView dev team will hear your voice and take it into account when working on other improvements. Just like they heard about the bug I described above. P.S. I know for a fact that more improvements in the backtesting area are coming. Some will change the game even for non-coding traders. If you want to be notified quickly and with my comment - gimme "follow".

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Donchian Channel Width This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy The Donchian Channel was developed by Richard Donchian and it could be compared to the Bollinger Bands. When it comes to volatility analysis, the Donchian Channel Width was created in the same way as the Bollinger Bandwidth technical indicator was. As was mentioned above the Donchian Channel Width is used in technical analysis to measure volatility. Volatility is one of the most important parameters in technical analysis. A price trend is not just about a price change. It is also about volume traded during this price change and volatility of a this price change. When a technical analyst focuses his/her attention solely on price analysis by ignoring volume and volatility, he/she only sees a part of a complete picture only. This could lead to a situation when a trader may miss something and lose money. Lets take a look at a simple example how volatility may help a trader: Most of the price based technical indicators are lagging indicators. When price moves on low volatility, it takes time for a price trend to change its direction and it could be ok to have some lag in an indicator. When price moves on high volatility, a price trend changes its direction faster and stronger. An indicator's lag acceptable under low volatility could be financially suicidal now - Buy/Sell signals could be generated when it is already too late. Another use of volatility - very popular one - it is to adapt a stop loss strategy to it: Smaller stop-loss recommended in low volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could be generated when it is too late. Bigger stop-loss recommended in high volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could be triggered too often and you may miss good trades. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.
